![]() ![]() ![]() Or alternatively you could use a spider repellent essential oil blend. There is not much scientific research about using essential oils to keep spiders away, but you may want to try lavender, citronella, tea tree, lemon or eucalyptus as an alternative to peppermint. Whilst peppermint oil is often cited as being the most effective repellent against spiders, you may be curious to see if other essential oils will do the trick. The inhalation of peppermint oil can cause severe symptoms for your pet, so it may be advisable not to use it all in areas that they can access. If you are a cat, dog or bird owner, you should take extra precaution when using peppermint oil as it can be toxic. However, this is more likely to happen if you spray a large amount of undiluted oil (which is why the spray should be diluted with water). ![]() In most cases, the oil is completely safe to use in small doses.Īs we advise above, it’s a good idea to open windows whilst spraying to let the oil settle, as inhaling large amounts could lead to dizziness, nausea, double vision, or muscle weakness. Peppermint oil contains menthol, which can cause skin irritation in some people. What are the dangers of using peppermint oil? If spiders are still appearing, shorten the spray period to every few days.Īnother trick you could use is to add a peppermint plant to the external areas of your home, which can act as a barrier to ward off spiders thinking of entering. Shake the solution well and spray around the house, focussing heavily on the corners, doors and windows. ![]()

While a simmering pot of pinto beans on the stove top is a wonderful thing in the sights-and-smells department, for this slow cooker pinto beans recipe I went with the crock-pot. I still say, if you’re on the fence, nail-biting and wondering how do you make the BEST beans – give them a soak! And, in the past, I’ve found beans that weren’t soaked to be slightly course in the texture department.Īll of these methods are fine for preparing pinto beans for the slow cooker. Typically, they will require a longer cooking time to achieve doneness. The No Soak: Did you know your beans don’t actually require a soak to cook up? It’s true.Then turn off the heat and let your beans soak in the hot water for about an hour-and-a-half. The Quick Soak: Rinse your pinto beans and place in a pot on the stovetop.You can add a bit of kosher salt if you’d like. Cover beans with water (2-3 inches of water above the top of the beans). The Overnight Soak: Rinse your dry pinto beans and place in a large bowl.However, there are a few general thoughts on soaking beans that I’ll share with you here. Now, full disclosure: I’ve usually subscribed to the overnight-soak school of thought. While not scientific by any means, I’ve found that soaking overnight sits right in the sweet spot between long enough and not too long. It seems to improve their texture and make them more palatable. Do you have to soak beans before cooking them? These speckled brown beans are hearty, nutrient dense (more on that in a sec) – and the absolute perfect choice for this easy slow cooker pinto beans recipe. Yep, aside from being commonly used in stews and chili, pinto beans are also the legumes used to make refried beans – the ubiquitous mashed Mexican beans that are served alongside rice and tortillas at your favorite Mexican restaurant. Pinto beans are the most popular bean in the United States and portions of Mexico! These days, making pinto beans in a crock pot is totally my thing! The flavors are quite subtle so I suggest doing a taste test once the beans are cooked and seasoning it to your own liking. The result is a simple slow cooker pinto beans recipe that’s hearty and comforting. I wanted to see if I could make a pinto beans recipe in the slow cooker that might approximate my mother’s ham and beans, while keeping it entirely vegetarian. Yep, she loved to whip up comfort food classics for my brother and me, like the best tuna salad sandwich (ever) and – my favorite: rustic ham and beans. And my mom took breaks from crafting perfect onigiri and making dashi from scratch to cook North American dishes as well. You see, I grew up in Quebec, where the cold winds blow for a disproportionately long time each year. ![]() All that said, don't swap fresh herbs for dried if the ingredient is a major player in the recipe, otherwise you risk changing the texture.Get ready to sink your teeth into the best Slow Cooker Pinto Beans Recipe! Slow cooked perfection! Just triple the amount if your recipe calls for dried basil and you want to use fresh instead. Get it? And the rule works in reverse if you have, say, a thriving basil plant that you want to utilize. So if your recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, use 1 teaspoon of dried parsley, because 1 tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons. ![]() Just use a third the amount your recipe calls for if you're swapping dried herbs for fresh. Instead, reach for dried herbs, which last a billion times longer than fresh-around six months, as opposed to a few days. But if your "herb garden" is a cluster of withered plants on your fire escape, don't bother buying bunches of fresh herbs every time you cook. I get the advantages of cooking with fresh herbs, and if you have a recipe that calls for a teaspoon of fresh basil, a pinch of fresh parsley, and a sprig of fresh oregano, there's nothing better than snipping them from your herb garden. ![]() ![]() The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and officials are asking anyone with video or information on what could have caused it to contact the local authorities.

Not only does it have a good dose of action, but Drifters is chock filled with some pretty funny dialogue. Plus, there is some pretty sick shit involved, and we mean that in the literal sense. Yet here we see in this show tons of beheadings, impalements, amputations, and other incredibly icky stuff in the flesh and practically uncensored. The level of violence this anime has is usually reserved for the big screen or - as it was with Hellsing - OVAs. How it's executed is what makes it one of the most enjoyable shows this year. ![]() Let that sink in for a moment.ĭrifters is one of the most insane concepts you'll find in any form of media. But to actually watch the likes of Butch Cassidy (Daisuke Ono) and the Sundance Kid (Wataru Takagi) aiding a senile Hannibal Barca (Yutaka Aoyama) and Scipio Africanus (Hiroshi Yanaka) from the clutches of a psychotic Anastasia Romanov (Junko Kitanashi) and Joan of Arc (Junko Minagawa) is just plain bonkers to merely explain in words! Oh, and the leader of the villainous Ends - Black King (Taiten Kusunoki) - might actually be Jesus Christ. Sure, perhaps we've witnessed some form of this via the Civilization video game series or some basement dweller's fan fiction that he has posted somewhere in the pits of Reddit. There's a real knack to throwing random historic figures into one world and seeing what happens. Reluctantly, the trio decide to help, training the now-freed elves in the art of war and combat as they prepare for battle. From her, they discover that they've been transported from their time to this world in order to rescue it from a group called the Ends. Soon, Toyohisa, Nobunaga, and Yoichi find a woman spying on them, revealed to be Olminu (Shiho Kokido) of the magician squad known as the Octobrist Organization. Not knowing why they're there, they come across an elvish group being oppressed by humans, leading towards the pointy-eared brothers in arms to revolt against those who forced them into the serf lifestyle. There, he comes across the famous warlord Oda Nobunaga (Naoya Uchida) and samurai Nasu no Yoichi (Mitsuki Saiga). Walking away from the field with wounds all over his body, he finds himself in a corridor of rooms, before being thrown in another world filled with elves, dwarves, and hobbits. Sharpen those fangs, children, as your thirst for blood is about to be quenched.ĭrifters starts out with the famous samurai Shimazu Toyohisa (Yūichi Nakamura) mortally wounding Ii Naomasa during the Battle of Sekigara. How fortunate for us that we don't have to wait any longer for his latest work to be adapted for the TV screen: the alternate history thrill ride simply known as Drifters. ![]() Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Driving Twisting turning sideways I can’t take this pressure no moreĪre you satisfy with the Drifters Opening Theme (Gospel Of The Throttle 狂奔 REMIX ver.) – Minutes Til Midnight lyrics and English translation that we bring to you today?

We see that Paul is speaking symbolically about his experiences of sharing the message of the resurrection. In this video, we discover the real context of this verse. I face death every day, brothers, as surely as I boast. 1 Corinthians 15:31 I die daily’ is often taught as needing to ‘die to self’. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. I protest by that glorifying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. 12Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. Here, as in 1 Corinthians 15:31, Paul references the constant persecution that he and his companions endured. 11But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

On 19 February 2014, a New Zealand appeals court overruled the 28 June 2012 decision, declaring the search warrants against Kim Dotcom to be valid. In March 2013, Dotcom won a Court of Appeal ruling allowing him to sue the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB), rejecting the attorney-general's appeal against a ruling in December, 2012. In December 2012, it was delayed until August 2013. On 10 July 2012, a decision on whether Kim Dotcom and other Megaupload employees should be extradited to the United States was delayed until March 2013, in order to allow further time for legal arguments to be heard. They were general warrants, and as such, are invalid." On 28 June 2012, New Zealand High Court justice Helen Winkelmann ruled that the search warrants used to raid the home of Kim Dotcom were invalid, saying "The warrants did not adequately describe the offences to which they related. During April 2012, US district court judge Liam O'Grady stated "I frankly don't know that we are ever going to have a trial in this matter," as he found out that the company had never been formally served with criminal papers by the US. The restraining order on his property was granted in April 2012. A paperwork error by the New Zealand authorities meant that Kim Dotcom's property had been seized in January 2012 without giving proper notice. The assets in 63 bank accounts and around thirty other vehicles remained in custody. On 30 April 2012, the New Zealand High Court ruled that around $750,000 of Kim Dotcom's assets could be returned, including a Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG and Toyota Vellfire that had been seized during the raid on his home. ![]() On 5 March 2012, a formal request for the extradition to the United States of Kim Dotcom and three other senior Megaupload staff was filed in a New Zealand court. On 22 February 2012, North Shore District Court Judge Nevin Dawson overturned the previous rulings and granted bail to Kim Dotcom, saying that the risk of flight had diminished after his assets had been seized. On 3 February 2012, an appeal to the High Court of New Zealand upheld the decision to deny bail. Dotcom would flee jurisdiction and the possibility that if he reached Germany he wouldn't be extradited to face the charges". The request for bail was turned down, with Judge McNaughton saying that "he was denied due to the risk Mr. Judge David McNaughton expressed concern at the discovery of two shotguns at Dotcom's mansion during the police raid, and deferred a decision on whether to grant bail, saying that he needed more time to review the submissions. They also said that Dotcom denied any criminal wrongdoing. The crown argued against bail on the basis that he was a flight risk with a helicopter on his front lawn, while defence lawyers argued that the helicopter could not fly far enough to reach another country. On 23 January, Dotcom appeared in Auckland's North Shore District Court for a bail hearing. ![]() The number of police officers involved in this operation was about 80 according to Dotcom or 20 to 30 according to the New Zealand police. ![]() The four men arrested were Kim Dotcom (founder 38 years old, from Germany), Finn Batato ( Chief marketing officer (CMO) 38, from Germany), Mathias Ortmann ( Chief technology officer (CTO) and co-founder 40, from Germany) and Bram van der Kolk (29, from the Netherlands).
