We are so blessed to have butter for Christmas!

The story behind the video...

http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/344690/

While some locals are bummed by a Christmas without snow, some local Scandinavians have their eyes on a scarier holi-disaster; a Christmas without butter.

Norway is in the midst of a nationwide butter shortage. According to the Wall Street Journal, a very wet season stunted cows’ grazing and led to less milk production, which, coupled with a new fad low-carb, high-fat diet that saw 1,000 more tons of butter sold this year, led to the country’s butter shortage.

And it couldn’t have happened at a worse time. Butter isn’t just an ingredient for Norwegians, it’s their life-blood. Why do you think they are so blond and fair-skinned and melt in the summer?

And Christmas is time when Norwegian cuisine really shines, partly because of butter. The rich flakiness of a Scan-dessert can’t be matched

“If I was in Norway and told I had to use margarine, I would freak out and not cook,” says Ashley Thornberg. “I really like butter.”

The Moorhead woman helped at the Sons of Norway Christmas dinner and is an avid holiday baker, going through as much as seven pounds of butter making krumkake, rømmegrøt, rosettes and lefse.

(Too bad Norwegians can’t churn vowels into butter.)

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
