Our Analysis and Test Results
A large majority of the bike lights on the market fall into a 'middle' catagory - not so wonderful as to cost an arm and a leg, but falling a bit short of the best available. The Lumina 550 does a great job of hitting a low cost mark, but scores closely to the top products. There were many lights that did not stack up to the Lumina 550, like the Cygolite Metro 550. Overall this light is a solid option and should be considered for those looking for a serious light under $100.
Performance Comparison
At 146-meters, the maximum beam distance on the 550 is impressive, scoring an 8 out of 10, and is not far behind the Lumina 750's 180-meter beam. The 550 is a great performer, and just a meter behind its closest competition, the Cygolite Expilion 850. The photo below shows how the Expilion 850, on the right, has a slightly broader and brighter beam. They're almost so close you can barely see a difference, but the difference that can be seen in the photo below is the peripheral lighting on the edges of the bike path.
Beam Quality
This has one of the better bike light beams we've tested and scores an impressive 8 out of 10. Only the NiteRider Pro 1800 and the Light and Motion Taz 1500 score higher. The Pro 1800 is a heavy, expensive light that is really in a class of its own for mountain biking. The Taz offers a much better comparison. As you can see in the photo below, the 550 has a great beam, but the Taz is much, much wider. This gives the rider better peripheral night vision and, some argue, improves your safety by offering on-coming traffic a broader illuminated area of visibility.
The real shocker is that the 550 performs almost just as well as its more expensive sibling, the NiteRider Lumina 750, pictured below on the right. Our beam comparison tests revealed no substantial difference in performance between the two. Both are the essentially the same weight and share almost the same form factor. If you're on a budget, we recommend you save $20 and go with the 550.
Battery Life
We really would have liked to see a little longer battery life performance from this light. It only lasted 1.5 hours on high mode during our testing and scoring just a 5 out of 10. This was slightly better than most of its competition like the Expilion 850, which scores a 4 out of 10 and lasted 1.4 hours. NiteRider claims the light lasts 18 hours in the lowest "walk" mode, which is average for its class.
This light is fairly easy to mount on your handlebar; the long screw adds some versatility for different sizes among handlebars, but proved to be a little tricky on more narrow handlebars. After installing the slide-on mount to your bar, you just slide the light onto the mount and it locks in place. To remove it you simply press down on the rear lever and pull backwards. It is very quick and much easier to take on and off than the Cygolite Metro models, which require some practice and strong fingers.
Best Applications
This is an all-around light for commuting as well as some minimal trail usage. If you're looking to do a little more mountain biking, an ideal setup would be to add our Top Pick for Helmets winner, the Light and Motion Vis 360+.
This light is a great value. See our Price Versus Value Chart to compare the relative value of each light tested. This is another reason to perhaps buy the 550 over the Expilion 850 as well as the Lumina 750.
If you're looking to save as much dough as possible, consider the Light and Motion Urban 350, which is our Best Buy winner. It doesn't have nearly the beam quality as the 550, but it can be found around $60 where the 550 is generally in the $70-100 range.
The Lumina 550 is one of the best value all-purpose bike lights we tested and just narrowly missed being a contender for the Editors' Choice award. We highly recommend it, especially if value and ease of getting on and off the bike are top priorities.

The many water locks in the water-rich province of Zeeland in The Netherlands, are controlled from two central positioned control units. TKH Security has provided the video display and control solution for the 22 locations with over 1600 cameras.
The Province of Zeeland in the South-West part of The Netherlands contains many waterways and provides access to and from the North Sea to the large ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam just around the corner. These waterways are heavily crowded with over 70.000 large ships, boats and other vessels passing through each year. However, the height difference between these waterways can be as large as 6 meters. To manage these height differences, many water locks are in place for ships to pass through the canals, rivers and other waterways.
Very high quality images for perfect operator view
Until recently, these 22 water locks were manned and controlled locally. The Dutch department of local works (Rijkswaterstaat) decided for a modernisation of the locks and make them remotely manageable and controllable, through two newly built central control units. One for the northern part of the province, and one for the southern part. With some of the locks located more than 50 kilometers from the central control units, this was a challenging operation. To replace the former local eyes and ears, cameras, communications and remote controls were needed. Good video quality, with absolute true colours under all circumstances and no latency, is important for the central operators to rely on. To ensure true colours under all circumstances, many tests were done with different cameras and different camera positioning under various circumstances. The result: perfect color on all 70+ cameras on each location.
Safety guaranteed by tackling latency
Latency was one of the most crucial factors to deal with. It is of utmost importance that what the operator sees on the screen, is an actual image of the current situation. To show if latency is present in the video, a special feature was created in VDG Sense. This feature shows a red cross in the video displayed if the latency is larger than 500 milliseconds. That way the operator immediately sees if latency is present in the video stream.
Another special feature is an indication to show when a video stream is from the opposite side of a lock. With the large amount of video streams, and the large number of vessels passing through each lock, it is important for operators not to get confused with the direction the vessel is headed. A simple solution was created: a blue border around the video stream is shown to indicate when it is from a camera on the opposite side of the lock.
VDG Sense is controlled through SCADA, the control interface that also controls all bridges and water locks. Commend Intercom is integrated, together with Marine Radio Communication, for communication with the different sites. All central operators can control all different water locks. However, for safety reasons, an operator can only control one lock at a time. When switching to another lock, the operator has to log out of the previous lock and log in to the next. Each command or step in the process results in the display of the cameras necessary for that specific operation. Besides remote control through SCADA, local control is also still an option in case of network issues or maintenance. Local and remote control work identically to each other.

My dearest friends,
Thank you so much for joining me in my dining room a few weeks ago!!
I meant to play for you more often since then.
There are so very many things I mean to do.
Who is up for a cocktail session over this Easter weekend? Or for my friends/fam in my homeland of the Pacific Northwest, a morning coffee?? A quick half hour or so??
Let's connect!
My next online music session will take place on Saturday, 11-Apr, at 17:30 GMT (9:30 PST), from my dining room, via Facebook Live, on http://www.facebook.com/aerynnmusic. Have your coffee/cocktail/mocktail ready!!
This is interactive. Please comment, wave, etc and I'll do my best to reply! It should also be viewable later on, for those of you who are in faraway time zones.
Is Facebook Live a good platform for you? Should we start a Facebook Group? Would YouTube be better? Instagram?
What time zone are you in?
A few weeks into this isolation, how are your home adventures panning out? Or are you still working as part of the necessary workers list?
I've gradually settled into getting my students online for their singing, guitar and piano lessons. Providing music for online church services has been an interesting and fun challenge. Finding motivation to actually record and write? I've had even more challenge there. My head just hasn't been in it. This next week, I was supposed to be going into the studio at Edge to work with a producer and get some of them recorded. Strange.
So many lyrics that I've written seem so applicable already.
Turn around and be a lighthouse in the dark...
I won't let you fall away...
Even darkness is not dark to you...
As angels lay bodies piled high by your side...
Lock me in my room at midnight with only a pen and my guitar...
All from different, unreleased songs!
Do you ever find you've created art in the past, without knowing what it was really about?
Suddenly a moment arrives where your art settles into its purpose?
Time to switch on the record button, Aerynn.
But first, i'll switch on the "Live" button.
See you Saturday!
Thank you for every hello, compliment, smile, or sing along at a gig, or even the "like" or "share" on social media. It all means the world to me that the music is reaching you.
In partnership to bring the music,

San Diego State University's two new Fulbright U.S. Student Program participants both were inspired by key memories from childhood.Brenda Arellano hopes to help kids in Brazil overcome the language barriers that sometimes left her in tears as a first grader. Federick Pinongcos is heading to a Caribbean nation to study a sustainable wastewater treatment project, an interest that stems from the pollution he witnessed growing up in the Philippines.The selection of the two recent graduates for the 2021-22 program makes a total of 94 SDSU students awarded student Fulbright grants since 2005-06. Operated by the U.S. Department of State to promote cultural exchange, the Fulbright program provides grants for international study/research projects and work as English teaching assistants. Both Arellano and Pinongcos will also participate in community-involvement projects.Nancy Marlin, SDSU provost emerita and Fulbright advisor, said the program is "highly prestigious and extraordinarily competitive.""Preparing a Fulbright application is an arduous process and our students have worked on revising their applications numerous times over many months," said Marlin, a professor of psychology. "I am extraordinarily proud of all our applicants and I am especially grateful to our many faculty who support this level of student success by encouraging students to apply, writing their letters of recommendation, providing them feedback on their proposed projects, and participating in their on-campus interviews."Here is a look at each student and the proposals they submitted for their grants:Brenda ArellanoArellano, a May 2019 graduate of the School of Communication, has been teaching herself Portuguese for more than a year and a half in preparation for her upcoming assignment teaching English in Brazil. She plans to spend an academic year there beginning in early 2022."I've been teaching English to international students in various countries throughout my life," she wrote in her grant proposal, "and I genuinely love it because it allows me to learn about new cultures."Her passion for teaching English stems from her own experiences as a young student.The first years of school were tough for Arellano, being raised by a single mom and speaking Spanish in a Mexican immigrant household in Marin County. Still vivid is the memory of a first-grade teacher in a private Catholic school, screaming at her for failing to follow instructions conveyed to her in what was then incomprehensible English.Her mastery of the language came about in time to earn straight A's and a scholarship to a private high school. Her mother started taking her along to volunteer work tutoring the children in an immigrant family from Guatemala, and "this helped spark my interest in teaching English as a career path," she said.Currently completing a master's degree in education at San Francisco State University, Arellano taught English in rural Thailand during a study abroad experience, using gestures and pictures to overcome yet another language barrier with the students and faculty.She decided on Brazil for a Fulbright program project after connecting online with two students, from São Paulo and Curitiba.Besides teaching, she plans to pursue another passion: martial arts. Arellano holds a black belt in karate and kick-boxing and wants to lead a self-defense class for women.Remembering again her own school experience, Arellano said: "I think that little girl would be proud of who I have become."Federick Pinongcos Pinongcos, who graduated in December 2020 with a master's degree in civil engineering, is heading to the dual-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago for a project that could help radically reform wastewater treatment in the remote, developing region He expects to spend eight months there beginning in the fall.The project follows a similar summer undergraduate research experience in Durban, South Africa. Research on a decentralized wastewater treatment system "made me realize that different countries have different environmental issues and ways of tackling them," Pinongcos wrote in his Fulbright application. "The people I collaborated with in this project taught me to always seek for a more sustainable solution and inspired me to be an environment advocate," he said.It's an interest also developed in part from exposure both to polluted waterways in the Philippines and the banks of the San Diego River in Mission Valley, where Pinongcos volunteered for cleanups, assisted in water quality monitoring and engaged with the desperate lives of the homeless population there. He worked on a grant proposal to provide sanitation systems and while it wasn't approved, it motivated him to apply for the Fulbright Fellowship in the related field of sustainable wastewater treatment.
Pinongcos will work on his project as part of a team of professors from the University of the West Indies. He'll be studying the use of vetiver grass, a resilient plant already in widespread use in soil erosion control, as a means to remove heavy metals (lead, iron, zinc) and nutrients (nitrate, phosphate) from industrial wastewater, which in Trinidad has a heavy petroleum content.
It's not all hard science. Pinongcos said community events will educate residents on potential commercial uses of vetiver grass, such as essential oils, soap and baskets."I've always wanted to work on a small, developing and sustainable country," Pinongcos said. "I am grateful to Fulbright for allowing me to accomplish one of my goals, which is to be a part of a sustainable project and be an advocate for the environment. In addition to this I think it would be a great opportunity to inspire young Trinbagonians to pursue STEM."Students can visit the SDSU Fulbright program website to learn more about the upcoming application cycle, information sessions and writing workshops the university offers.

Inside Recruiting: Notre Dame's must-get prospects, incoming freshmen to watch
Editor's Note: Inside Recruiting is a feature that addresses key topics involving Notre Dame football recruiting and recruiting in general. It has become a regular staple of our Irish football coverage.
The story is presented in a roundtable format. Today's contributors are Tom Lemming, recruiting analyst for CBS Sports, and Steve Wiltfong, director of recruiting for 247Sports.
A week after coaxing its recruiting efforts into overdrive primarily with prospects in the 2023 and 2024 classes, Notre Dame hones in on more immediate matters this weekend.
For the first time since September of 2019, the Irish will have uofficial visitors on campus. Nine from the 2022 class are confirmed, with a 10th — top 50 linebacker Jaylen Sneed of South Carolina — scheduled for a midweek visit next week.
Two top 20 prospects from the 2023 class are scheduled for unofficial visits — offensive guard Alex Birchmeier from Ashburn, Va., and safety/linebacker Sonny Styles from Pickerington, Ohio.
The latter is the younger (but bigger) brother of ND freshman wide receiver Lorenzo Styles Jr. Also coming from the 2023 class is top 247 defensive end Keon Keeley from Tampa, Fla.
The Irish head into the weekend ranked third nationally in the team recruiting rankings for the 2022 cycle by both Rivals and 247Sports.

Notre Dame resurrected its Irish Invasion Camp on Sunday. In any already jam-packed month of recruiting, what are the potential benefits for the Irish in staging such an event?
Lemming: "It has to be done this way, because the NCAA pigeon-holed things where everything has to be done this month. But Notre Dame has the right people behind the scenes to pull all of this off. It looks like they're exceptionally well organized.
"For Notre Dame, it's an evaluation time, to get a feel for who else they want to offer scholarships to. They invite all the guys who have intrigued them from around the country. Now they get to see them up front, which is the ultimate goal.
"When you see kids in person, you see the exact size they are. You see their athletic ability, their intensity, their personality. You get to see everything in a short period of time. Doing it properly, it benefits them immensely."
Wiltfong: "First and foremost, it's the opportunity to evaluate some guys that you're interested in. You get a chance to work them out on your field. Obviously, within that, those prospects get to come to Notre Dame and see your facilities and get to work with your coaches and see how they vibe with them.
"So it's a win all the way around. You want to have your own camps, and Irish Invasion has built a reputation as being one of the more talented camps in the country. It seemed like there was a lot of excitement coming out of there and a lot of good football players on campus."
Who is an elite 2022 prospect visiting this month and not an ND lean whose Notre Dame visit could flip his ultimate decision to the Irish?
Lemming: "Zach Rice (6-6, 305; Lynchburg, Va.) would be the one. He's the best tackle in the country and expected to sign elsewhere. If he actually visits, he's an academic kid. He's a Notre Dame-type kid. If he comes up and spends time with (offensive line coach) Jeff Quinn, he's the guy who could actually turn. He's a five-star tackle."
Wiltfong: "They've got some pretty exciting prospects visiting who they're in a good spot for. In fact, I think Notre Dame's in a good spot for nearly everybody that's visiting. One guy I think they need to make up a little ground for and maybe can is Jake Taylor (6-6, 290; Las Vegas, Nev).
"They're battling Alabama and Oklahoma there, and I think the visits could be really pivotal in a tight battle for him.
"But these visits aren't Hail Marys. These aren't guys who are taking a visit just to take a visit. I think Notre Dame has positioned themselves well for nearly all of their official visitors. I don't think they're running fifth for any of these guys."
Who are the absolute must-gets — one on offense, one on defense — of the remaining prospects on Notre Dame's 2022 recruiting board?
Lemming: "For offense, one of the wide receivers. I'd say Tobias Merriweather (6-4, 180; Vancouver, Wash.), CJ Williams (6-2, 190; Santa Ana, Calif.) or Nicholas Anderson (6-4, 196; Katy, Texas). They're all three pretty good, but Merriweather, with his size and speed, would be my first choice.
"On defense, I'd say any cornerback, because they struggle to recruit corners for some reason. I like Benjamin Morrison (6-0, 172: Phoenix) and Devin Moore (6-2, 180; Naples, Fla.), and I think the Irish might end up with both. But if I had to pick one, it'd be Moore, because of his size. They definitely need help at that position, because they're super-weak at corner."
Wiltfong: "For defense, I'll give you two. I think Anthony Lucas (6-5, 285; Scottsdale, Ariz.) and Cyrus Moss (6-6, 220; Las Vegas, Nev.) are two guys who are championship-level, front-seven prospects with amazing upside. Notre Dame's near the top of both of their lists, and they're both elite-type players at their respective positions.
"On offense, you would like to see them get another dynamic receiver. He's visiting later in the year (October), but I would say Andre Greene Jr. (6-3, 180; Richmond, Va.). He could make an impact on offense for years to come. All the guys they have visiting in June are good and would help, but I'm extremely intrigued by Greene."
Is there a potential downside to adding players from the transfer portal that Notre Dame or other teams need to guard against, such as disrupting locker room chemistry or delayed development of a displaced potential starter?
Lemming: "Yes. I would only take a kid who's a sure-fire star. If you take too many, it's going to affect the high school kids coming in — their psyches — especially if you just take someone for depth. Grad transfers with only one year left don't affect that balance. But when you're talking about someone with multiple years, yes, that can affect the young players on your roster."
Wiltfong: "If you're a school like Notre Dame and you're going into the portal, you're looking for a guy that's going to help you win an extra game, and that extra game is going to be a playoff game or a game that gets you into the playoff.
"For Notre Dame, the portal is great, because their foundation is built through high school recruiting and player development. But if there's a position group that's weakened — because a guy might leave early for the NFL Draft, or maybe on the rare occasion where some guys didn't pan out — they could go to the portal and really tighten up a position of need on their roster. And it keeps them in the championship hunt.
"For other teams that are going to the portal and making a living there, you could certainly get a bunch of bad apples there and really wreck the program."
Which of Notre Dame's 13 June-arriving freshmen might surprise in summer workouts and fall camp?
Lemming: "I would say either wide receiver Deion Colzie or running back Audric Estime. Colzie could be the star they're looking for at wide receiver. And Estime is a lot better than people think he is."
Wiltfong: "Linebacker Prince Kollie is a guy who I think is eventually going to be a star. He's the best defensive player in the class, and I think he's going to come in and really push somebody."

"How to check RAM type in windows 7? Ways to check how many GB of RAM I have? How do I know the speed or RAM memory of my laptop? Is there some easy way of finding RAM specs?" If you're struggling with these questions, then this article is for you!
This post will show you how to easily check all RAM specs like type, size, and speed in Windows 7, 8, 10.
We are glad to tell you that most versions of Windows (Windows 7, 8, 10) have many built-in tools for testing RAM specs. Not only is the use of CMD (Command Prompt) much more convenient and simpler among these tools, but you can also check more specs like CMD's manufacturer and serial number of RAMs. The full tutorial, available for Windows 7, 8, 10, is here.
What is RAM?
First of all, I want to tell you about the RAM system. RAM stands for Random Access Memory, in terms of computer technology. There's a specific slot for the memory stick (RAM) where it's inserted on your motherboard.
RAM is also called DIMM ( Dual Inline Memory Module). It stores data in your system memory (RAM) before it is loaded into the system, while you do some work on your computer.
RAM is comprised of memory chips that can be written or re-written by a hardware device.
How to check ram type in windows 7?
First of all, to open a Run window, press Windows key + R. Type cmd and tap enter to open the Command Prompt window.
Read More: Best RAM for i7 8700k
How to Check RAM Size in Windows 7, 8, 10?
Type wmic memorychip get capacity to get RAM capacity in the Command Prompt window, and press Enter. The size of the RAM in your system is then shown as below (in Bytes) in the Command Prompt window.
How to Check RAM Type and Speed?
If you want to check your machine (desktop or laptop) for RAM type and speed, do the following procedure:
Type wmic memorychip get speed, memorytype into the Command Prompt window, and hit Enter. Now you would get the type of RAM and speed, as shown in the below picture.
How to Check RAM Type by Speed Rating?
This approach is used to examine your device's RAM type by the mark on the RAM itself. You have to be a bit of a technical person for this task since the work is very delicate.
For this purpose, you need to open your desktop tower or laptop cover and safely remove the RAM from the motherboard slot (ensure that your device is switched off and unplugged from power).
See now on RAM; there's a printed mark on RAM, which will tell you the type of RAM. If you don't see the RAM type written on it, check the device type RAM by speed rating defined on the RAM itself.
- PC-1600 to PC-3200 – DDR
- PC2-3200 to PC2-8500 – DDR2
- PC3-6400 to PC3-17000 – DDR3
Checking RAM Type by Software Utility
It's a very simple and easy process. You don't even have to open the system covering or be a technical individual.
CPU-Z is a tool that allows everyone to know the type of RAM on any Windows PC. It is a very basic program and easy to install the application. Installing CPU-Z requires fewer seconds to update, and then collecting your device details quickly along with the RAM type of system.
When opened on the computer screen, all device information such as CPU, caches, information on the mainboard, memory (RAM), graphics, etc. will be displayed.

Have a great day!
Hello! Today's card was because of a need I had for a card. I wish I had piles of cards made up ahead of time so when I need one I could just go pull one. But since that is not the case…I needed to make a card 🙂 We spent sometime with a childhood friend before our trip to TX so wanted to send a card to her. Stamps Used: G334 KB's Sisters Lg, F234 True Friendship
Today is a sad day in our household as we put our beloved dog Cocoa to sleep. She has gone 7 days without eating and it is time. Difficult day ahead for Kevin but he knows that it is best for her. We have had her for 19 incredible years!
Green Bay is all blue and black today after our embarrassing loss to the Seattle Seahawks! Good thing it is only football and nothing important 🙂
Today's card is a cute valentine's day card. Stamps Used: DD55 Owl Fun Cube, DD52 KB's Clara Owl, E192 Be Mine Long, HH28 Line & Dots Combo Border. The embossing folder is a very old one from Cuttlebug it was in a wedding set.
Have a great Monday!
So just a quick note this morning. Our website is currently down but the SHOPPING card is still working. Some kind of problem at Go Daddy that is going to take six hours to fix today.
If you want to look at our online store…here is where to go:
the above picture is some of our new stamps coming out. They haven't quite made it into a card yet but they will! 🙂
Another winter friend card this morning. Love the yellow and blue.
Stamps Used: D259 Chill of Winter, E259 KB's Penguin Lg; EE36 KB's Fox.
It's Friday! How awesome is that?! We are looking forward to a weekend off and just doing projects around the house. We have a floor in the mudroom that we need to grout and knobs to put on. The next project is taking out some cabinets in the kitchen. That might be too big of a project for this weekend. And of course, the Green Bay Packers play the Seattle Seahawks this weekend so Go Pack GO! Have a great weekend.

Leandro Damiao is THE striker that Tottenham Hotspur fans want. Unfortunately, both he and his club SC Internacional have, on several occasions, rebuffed Spurs. Now, however, it appears that Internacional are resigned to losing their star player this summer. Internacional's Director of Football, Luis Cesar Souto de Moura, told UOL:
"Leandro Damiao is indeed the player that is most likely to leave Internacional, especially because foreign clubs are interested. "Damiao is the player of the moment, everyone is seeing that. He is a great player, he's very special."
This position seems to be a departure from what happened in January when, reportedly, Tottenham had a deal for Damiao all tied up, but Internacional raised their asking price at the last minute, scuppering the deal. Internacional have been incredibly hard to deal with on Damiao, so who knows what will actually happen.
If Internacional do decide to sell Damiao, then Spurs will likely face competition from Napoli, who are preparing for the potential loss of Edinson Cavani to one of England's big spending clubs. Other clubs that could be interested in the 23 year-old Brazilian include Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan.
I have such mixed emotions on Damiao. On the one hand, I want him to play for Tottenham Hotspur so badly. He's exactly the type of striker that Spurs need and I have no doubt that he would succeed at the club. On the other, the stupid "will he or won't he" dance that Tottenham has had to do with Damiao over the last 15 seasons (or 2 season, whatever) has been exhausting and I'm not sure he even wants to come.
So, what do you think? Do you still want him? Will he actually come to Tottenham?

'Avengers: Endgame': Spoilers! We interrogate the directors about the biggest reveals
Spoiler alert! This post discusses many plot points and the ending of "Avengers: Endgame," so beware if you haven't seen it yet.
All those big goosebumpy moments that you adored in "Avengers: Endgame"? The guys who wove them together for the newest Marvel blockbuster loved them, too.
"Part of the reason we connect so strongly to these movies and the material and the audience is because we're fans," says Joe Russo, who with brother Anthony directed "Endgame," their fourth Marvel throwdown.
The time-traveling adventure "Endgame" finishes off the 22-film saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far, and the Russos chatted with USA TODAY about decisions behind the film's most shocking scenes and how they could lead into the next phase of superhero fare.
** This is your last chance to bail out because spoilers are coming. You were warned! **
RIP:Our obituary for the Avenger who dies in 'Endgame' (spoilers!)
Spoilers! Every fist-pumping, fan-pleasing moment in 'Avengers: Endgame'
Why was Sam Wilson the best choice to be the next Captain America?
The two candidates best suited to wield the shield if Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) ever gave it up were fellow soldier Sam (Anthony Mackie), aka the Falcon, and Steve's childhood friend Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), aka the former brainwashed Hydra assassin Winter Soldier. After the heroes defeat Thanos, Steve goes back in time to place the Infinity Stones in the periods they belong but stops off to spend a lifetime with his love Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell). When his friends next see him, Steve's an old man who passes the Cap mantle to Sam.
"So far as matching the level of integrity of Captain America, Sam is pound for pound as morally forthright as anyone in the Marvel universe. And Bucky's a damaged character," says Joe Russo. His brother Anthony adds that they debated the choice, but the bond Steve and Sam formed in "Winter Soldier" sealed a certain trust. "Sam spends his time trying to repair other people who are broken by war, and it just feels like he has the same values as Captain America."

Avengers vs. X-Men? How Marvel can maintain its super mojo after 'Endgame'
Have we seen the last of Steve Rogers?
That question triggers the Marvel secrecy shroud: "We can't really comment on that," Anthony Russo says. But after fighting for his country (and the planet), watching loved ones die, navigating war and dealing with tragedy, Steve getting a happy ending with Peggy and choosing to do something for himself for a change was the right end to his journey for the Russos.
Cap is "born to serve," says Anthony Russo. "For him to make a choice that is mostly about his own individuality, his own self-actualization, that's really the completion of his arc."

Review:Satisfying 'Avengers: Endgame' is Marvel's glorious greatest-hits package
Did Iron Man really have to die?
Steve Rogers' character arc ended up being the inverse of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), who died on the battlefield after using the Infinity Gauntlet to wipe out Thanos and his army for good. Back in 2008's "Iron Man," Stark started as a cocky, egotistical weapons manufacturer and has been on a heroic path ever since, though in "Endgame," he initially tells his fellow Avengers he's uninterested in risking his life because he's committed to protecting the life he's made with wife Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) and their daughter.
"And then he ultimately decides to make the greatest sacrifice possible, leaving them behind," Joe Russo says. "When you go back and look at that character in the first 'Iron Man' and where he ends up, it's one of the great arcs in movie history."

But, seriously ... RIP Black Widow, too?
During the time heist, Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) travel to the planet Vormir to get the Soul Stone but find out that requires one of them to die. Both have done things they're not proud of and are ready to sacrifice themselves for the greater good – in fact, they fight it out in a battle of wills – but Widow wins so that her friend can see his family again.
There was a lot of back and forth between the filmmakers to figure out which one of them would sacrifice themselves.
Hawkeye, for one, "feels like he's not worthy of (his family) any longer," Anthony Russo says. "But the fact of the matter is, he has the option of seeing them again." Widow, though, is "willing to make the greatest sacrifice for the (superhero) community," Joe Russo adds. "That's really poignant and why we felt it was a better story to tell with her."

What's up with Thor's beer belly?
Feeling the guilt of not being able to take out Thanos before he wipes out half the universe in "Infinity War" sends Thor (Chris Hemsworth) to a bad place, where he isolates himself and his chiseled physique veers wildly out of shape, thanks to drinking, junk food and video games.
"These movies are so built around these idealized physical specimens," Anthony Russo says. "It's fun to finally have a narrative reason to get away from that."
The Russos love to deconstruct things, and with Thor, they wanted to crack the thunder god's emotional vulnerability by making him lose everything and show that physically. That said, "we never thought of him as a loser," Anthony Russo says. "He's still Thor, he's still inspiring."
'Avengers: Endgame': Here's why Marvel blew past 'Star Wars' in fans' hearts
We have answers:Is there an end-credits scene? Is Stan Lee in 'Endgame'?
What year is it anyway?
Between the Avengers' time heist and multiple, existence-altering snaps of the Infinity Gauntlet, it gets a little confusing. But the Russos confirm that "Endgame" ends in 2023, five years after Thanos' original snap in "Infinity War." Survivors have tried to move on and those who returned "lost out on those five years," Joe Russo says. "So now there are stories to tell moving forward about how they all interact with each other."
One of those tales is presumably the next Marvel film: "Spider-Man: Far From Home" (out July 2) finds Peter Parker (Tom Holland) on a class trip to Europe with friends like best bud Ned (Jacob Batalon). The two have an emotional meetup in the halls of their high school during the "Endgame" finale, knowing they were both snapped.
"People they knew are older and have graduated," Joe Russo says. "So it's a moment of relief and joy for those two to see each other and also the complication of what is their life moving forward."

By Wednesday 12 April – six days after the European domain name was opened to everyone – nearly 1.5 million domain names had been registered and the European Commission had hailed the operation as a huge success.
"There were more registrations in two days than we expected for a whole year," said Commission spokesman Martin Selmayr.
But there have been complaints from some companies that the system has been hijacked by speculative firms carrying out a practice known as 'warehousing' – buying up huge numbers of web names that they then plan to sell far above the price of 10 euro charged by EURid, the company employed by the Commission to control the system.
Only accredited firms, known as registrars, can apply for domain names on behalf of their clients, on a first-come, first-served basis. The problem, the critics say, is that the rules for becoming a registrar are too simple. A firm only has to prove that it is an established business and leave a 10,000 euro deposit with EURid that is then used to apply for domain names.
You may like
As a result some of the 1,500 registrars have multiple companies, which gives them a vastly inflated chance of winning domain names. For example there are nine companies registered to the same address in Sternberg, Germany, and one address in New York is home to at least 30 registrars.
Critics claim that these companies are abusing the system by establishing several companies in one place.
"Under the EU regulation which controls all this, there are provisions that a registrar will not warehouse names, and yet there are companies that have literally bought up hundreds of three- and four-letter domain names to sell on for an inflated price," said Nick Wood, chief executive of Com Laude, a UK-based registrar for trademark owners.
He sits on the board of Marques, the European association of brand managers, which has already complained to the European Commission that the system was too open to abuse.
"These companies have basically exploited the poor drafting in the regulation and EURid should have seen it coming. Ultimately it's a shame for Europeans, who have been robbed of domain names at a reasonable price," said Wood.
But the Commission insists that the accusations are merely sour grapes from those who have not won the domain names that they wanted. "There is nothing to stop people setting up more than one company to have a better chance of winning a domain name," Selmayr said.
"And it is not surprising that those that did not think to do it are now complaining, but we live in a free market society and there is nothing wrong with it."
If there are suspicions that some companies have been warehousing names in bad faith – which would include buying up thousands of names randomly, which is illegal under the EU regulation – EURid could refuse to register a name or revoke any that have been already assigned. "We have a very tight legal system that people can go through if there is a problem," Selmayr said.
EURid spokesman Patrik Linden said that the system was fair. "It's possible and indeed quite likely that there have been multiple companies set up, but clients are not disadvantaged by this. The person with the most access to the system is likely to be more successful but this is the way that the world works."
In its letter to the Commission, Marques pointed out that, as the lowest cost of filing a complaint is around 2,000 euro, many small businesses would find it difficult to take action against fraud and asked EURid to take "preventative and cautious action".
Wood said: "We hope that EURid and the Commission will investigate who is behind this speculation and if they are in breach of the terms and conditions of the registry, take appropriate action."

A Toray Plastics America Inc. plant sustained significant damage in a March 3 blaze, but should be back in operation early this week, officials said.
The fire started at 9:54 p.m. in a confined radiation chamber in the firm's Front Royal, Va., plant. The initial blaze, or flash fire, was doused by an overhead sprinkler system, but firefighters found several smoldering hot spots in the surrounding area, Gerry Maiatico, Warren County fire marshal, said by phone. There were no injuries to employees or emergency crews, he said.
Several crews from Warren County responded to the scene. The fire was extinguished in about an hour, but firefighters remained on the scene for several hours, removing smoke and conducting investigations.
The fire remains under investigation and an exact cause had not been determined last week, Maiatico said, adding that the fire was accidental and probably caused by a mechanical malfunction.
The fire did cause significant damage, but an official estimate was not available, Maiatico said.
Equipment located above the radiation chamber was damaged, but can be repaired, said Paul Cobb, general manager of the plant. Although the fire only affected a small area of the plant, operations were suspended.
Maintenance crews were in the plant at the time of the fire. The workers' quick action, coupled with Toray's safety protocols, prevented the blaze from being much worse, Maiatico said.
Toray Plastics America, with headquarters in North Kingston, R.I., is a subsidiary of Tokyo-based Toray Industries Inc.
The 165,000-square-foot Virginia plant houses the company's PEF division, and produces polypropylene and polyethylene foams for the automotive, construction and industrial markets.

Mandeville, LA – After 22 years in radio and hundreds of "you'll never work in this business again" threats from alleged "faithful listeners" I continue to be amazed at the number of people who believe that radio show hosts MUST entertain every holier than me crackpot with a cell-phone's opinion, in full. If I come and knock on your door after you mentioned I should pay you a visit and on the way in notice you haven't weeded your left-most flower bed but are currently the recipient of "lawn of the month" should I: A. Begin upbraiding you when you answer the door, accuse you of bribing the judges and then shout over your calm responses or B. Ask if you had noticed the creeping fungus weed in said garden and knew how to kill it?

Comments: I am very disappointed with the way you treated steve this morning in the last half of the third hour. you were very disrespectful and condescending to him. you told him to not treat you like an eight year old. you treated him worse than an eight year old. behavior like that is not becoming of someone who is always railing about how society acts towards each other like you do. you shouted him down like liberals do conservatives. you need to go back and listen to that exchange and listen to show shamefully it was. i have most likely turned your show off on my way to work for the last time.
My Response
Dear "bj",
Please enjoy your new listening station, I have nothing to atone for. I accord callers the courtesy of air-time, the courtesy of not calling the host a liar and an imbecile is not too much to ask. As far as "shouted him down", I politely asked for him to let me rebut, he didn't so I elevated my voice over his.
Best wishes on your search for new listening material,
Mike Church

Hello, everyone! I have been away from this blog for a short while, but I'm back and plan on posting weekly on here! You can click the follow button to be notified when I post!
On to today's topic, IMPOSSIBLE WHOPPERS! As a vegetarian/ sometimes vegan, it is a pain in the butt not to be able to just swing on in a drive thru and get myself some food. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about making food at home, but sometimes I just want a good burger that's not made from animals. And then Burger King answered my prayers!
Burger King started making an alternative to their famous whoppers by making them with Impossible meat. For those who do not know, Impossible meat is a vegan fake meat that tastes as close to real meat as it gets.
I've had Impossible meat in tacos before, so I knew I'd like it. However, I brought my mom, a meat eater, along to this taste test adventure. So, a vegetarian and meat eater raced off to Burger King to get this magical Whopper.
My mom and I never really went to Burger King, and as far as I know, the Impossible Whopper isn't making people choose it over the regular Whopper, but instead bringing in a whole new crowd of people.
Here are a few pictures of the Impossible Whopper, which really surprised my mom because it doesn't really look like a "veggie burger."
To me, the burger tastes exactly like a regular burger, but I haven't eaten real meat in years, so I looked to my mom to see what she thought. She immediately put down her burger and very quietly said, "I think they gave us real meat." Of course they didn't give us real meat, I told her it was "impossible." (See what I did there? I'm so punny!)
Not only had the Impossible Whopper pleased a vegetarian who was dying for some greasy fast food, but it tricked an actual meat eater into thinking it was meat!
I believe that the Impossible Whopper is only in a few states at the moment; I was lucky enough to be in the test city, however the actual Impossible meat should be in stores before the end of 2019. Until then, if you're not in an area with the Impossible Whopper, go look on the Impossible meat website and you can see what restaurants near you serve their meat!
I highly recommend the Burger King Impossible Whopper. 10/10. So yummy for vegetarians and meat lovers!

A Babson College staff member who was suspended, with pay, Wednesday after posting a status on Facebook — suggesting Iran list 52 American cultural sites that it would bomb — has apologized for his "bad attempt at humor."
In a Facebook post Tuesday, which has since been removed, but is circulating widely on social media, Babson's director of sustainability Asheen Phansey wrote, "In retaliation, Ayatollah Khomenei should tweet a list of 52 sites of beloved American cultural heritage that he would bomb. Um… Mall of America? Kardashian residence?" Turtleboysports.com reported on a screen shot of the post on Tuesday.
In an email to the Herald Wednesday, Phansey said in a statement, "I regret my bad attempt at humor. As an American, born and raised, I was trying to juxtapose our 'cultural sites' with ancient Iranian churches and mosques. I am completely opposed to violence and would never advocate it by anyone. I am sorry that my sloppy humor was read as a threat. I condemn all acts of violence.
"I am particularly sorry to cause any harm or alarm for my colleagues at Babson, my beloved alma mater, and the place where I have enjoyed teaching students and serving as its sustainability director," he added.
Babson College released a statement Wednesday morning saying, "Babson College condemns any type of threatening words and/or actions condoning violence and/or hate. This particular post from a staff member on his personal Facebook page clearly does not represent the values and culture of Babson College."
While we understand he has deleted the posts, we have immediately suspended him, with pay, pending the completion of our investigation. In addition, we are cooperating with local, state and federal authorities."

Better windows For Florida Homes
Window tech (more to come)
PVC It's about time to call these home depot plastic windows what they are Crap
While A common window frame and door material, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), does not swell or warp like wood, it presents its own challenges. PVC can be easily misshapen, so metal inserts are sandwiched between the exterior and
interior frames of the window to match wood's structural stiffness. However, a problem
arises when the seal binding these elements together isn't maintained — stopping it from keeping the elements out and the heat or cool in. These inserts create complexity, and complexity can create costs.
Fiberglass window frames do not require structural inserts, as the stiff material is manufactured in a single profile
From a materials performance perspective, Fiberglass offers several benefits over traditional materials.
First, it has inherent
stiffness and strength that obviates the need for adding stiffeners,and this simplifies the manufacturing process. Secondly, Fiberglass is resistant to thermal expansion, corrosion and rot. This means less maintenance over the lifespan of the window or door frame. Thirdly, Fiberglass frames are a great insulator, helping to retain heat or cooling to help save energy. No matter where you use composites, the benefits of the
material will greatly impact the efficiency of windows and doors.In order to improve sustainability, homeowners and construction companies will have to take a number of measures to reduce unnecessary energy loss. Windows and doors may be a necessary feature in any home, but the wasted energy that escapes through
them is anything but needed. To tackle lost energy and improve efficiency, composite materials for windows and doors are an advantageous option

The Seattle Seahawks tendered four of their eight exclusive rights free agents on Tuesday, ensuring they will be in the fold for the 2020 season.
In addition to the previously reported Malik Turner and Jordan Roos signings, the Seahawks also tendered defensive back Ryan Neal and defensive tackle Bryan Mone.
That leaves four other exclusive rights free agents – guard Jordan Simmons, linebacker Emmanuel Ellerbee, tight end Tyrone Swoopes and defensive back Jeremy Boykins – all without a contract for now.
Neal, 24, appeared in three games for the Seahawks last year, only appearing on special teams. A former Southern Illinois defensive back who spent 2018 with the Falcons, Neal is a long (six-foot-three) DB who could play his way into a backup role in 2020, with both Akeem King and Neiko Thorpe set to hit free agency.
Mone was an undrafted free agent out of Michigan last year who had a strong showing in the preseason, but only ended up playing in four games in 2019 – appearing on 90 total snaps and not recording a single tackle.
He'll once again come into camp ready to compete for a spot on the interior defensive line.
Of the four who remain unsigned, the Seahawks seem likely to bring back guard Jordan Simmons, who Carroll specifically mentioned as a candidate to play in 2020 while at the NFL combine.

After listening to THE ROPE AND THE GUN,I contacted the composer to congratulate them on the soundtrack, he was very kind and agreed to talk to MMI, about this work, his background and his methods of working on film music projects.
My thanks to the composer for his time, patience and also the quick response to my questions.
Where and when were you born and what would you say are your earliest memories of music of any kind?
I was born in 1988 in a tiny little village in the North of France, in Normandy. I'm the youngest of 4.5 children who all played music taking piano lessons from an old lady who used to hit your fingers or kick her piano when you played a wrong note! My father listened to Opera or to Blues having done a PhD on the relationships between men and women in America through the history of Blues. My mother came from the USA and grew up in working class Irish neighbourhood with little money always jealous of her friends who played any music. She knew that she would have musical children whatever happened. SO my earliest memories of music are probably just hearing my father play some Robert Johnson or my mother blasting Bruce Springsteen in the house!
What musical training or education have you had?
I learned to read and write music with this old lady before I could read and write words. And then, once the basis of music theory was acquired, I learned to play the piano with her. Starting from very simple tunes going on to more difficult and technical pieces of classical music. When I was 11 or 12, I discovered I wanted to play the drums and so took classes at the local music school. Quickly after that, I also took trumpet lessons, but never went very far with them. In middle school or high school, I started taking composition classes and a little more advanced music theory and so learned harmony and structure and so on.
I know you write for shorts and also have been involved in scoring of smaller productions, how did you become involved in writing for film?
The first thing I scored was for a friend of the families who built a website to promote his comic book about kings of Israel. He made a little flash animation and wanted music to accompany it and so I wrote a little piece of music which I clumsily produced on my mother's work computer. After that, I tried a lot to copy soundtracks of movies I liked and focused on the composition a lot before trying to produce the sounds, you know what I mean? It's only much later that I focused on the production and how to create the sounds.
THE ROPE AND THE GUN is a soundtrack of sorts, by this I mean that there is no film, it's a project you undertook because you wanted to write a more grandiose score is that correct?
Yes, in a way. The small films and projects I usually score are much simpler and are fitted better with minimalist music and atmospheres and ambiances. I could wait around until I get a project that warrants a gigantic orchestra and powerful and complex composition, but I don't have patience and when I want to write something I just go for it. Similarly, I wanted to write an orchestral soundtrack and came up with a simple story for an action filled movie called Operation Moonrise:
How long did it take to write the soundtrack for THE ROPE AND THE GUN?
I started in September 2016 and really took my time. The official release of The Rope & The Gun was August 4th, 2017. I finished composing everything 3-4 months before the released date and then spent the rest of the time mixing everything, rerecording all the live tracks and mastering.
You were obviously inspired by the music of the Italian western when working on this project, what composers or artists would you say have influenced you in the way that you write music or indeed the way in which you approach a project?
When I'm not working on music, I listen all day to soundtracks from modern movies or older ones. I think what interests me most about soundtracks is story. Hearing how a theme evolves from start to finish in a movie. I love everything John WIlliams for example and since he tends to write very long themes going through hundreds of key changes, his range of themes and how they change is just fascinating to me. Of course, I could add Hans ZImmer to my influences because he is, in a way, the direct opposite to John Williams. He focused on the sound, on new sounds on new instruments and different arrangements while using very simple themes.
I usually just start soundtrack radios on Google Play Music and then mark the ones I want to listen to more. Then I usually focus on one composer and listen to everything. For example, this week, I was focused all on Michael Giacchino. A few weeks ago, I was listening to everything Marco Beltrami! I believe that if I listen to these master soundtracks constantly, some of their genius will slip into my mind! But it may just be like a student sleeping on their text books hoping that the knowledge magically comes through!
The score for THE ROPE AND THE GUN was I think mainly an electronic/samples work, but the guitar solo I think was the actual instrument, did you perform on the soundtrack and what percentage of the score was electronic/samples and what parts were performed on instruments?
Anything that is Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin, Harmonica, slide guitar, resonator guitar, electric guitars, 12 string guitar, fiddle (in a small amount), some percussion and so on was recorded by me with my own instruments and my own microphones. The Rope & The Gun, for the most part, is those instruments. I wanted them to be the front row of the music and sounds of this soundtrack. If I had to but a number on it, it would be 60% real recorded instruments. 30% Orchestra Samples and 10% Synths.
Are you planning another recording like THE ROPE AND THE GUN, Maybe a Giallo themed work, or another western?
I'd love to, but I'm trying to broaden my range. Right now, I'm working on a couple of films that people have asked me to score. Very small things. And at the same time, I'm making another fake Soundtrack that's going to be much more focused on Synths and percussion. There will be a string section and I still have a lot of composition to do to figure out how much I want to use Sampled sounds and how much I want to record live with a String Section. Also, I need to evaluate how much of a budget I have to play with. Orchestras are expensive!
THE ROPE AND THE GUN is available in digital form on SPOTIFY etc, will there be a compact disc release?
There won't. At the level at which I distribute things, hard copies are just not worth it and distributing digitally is so much simpler and less costly.
Have you worked with an orchestra or a small ensemble of players?
For The Rope & The Gun, no. Anything recorded live was done by me. In the past, yes, I've worked with a lot of bands and ensembles composing, recording and arranging a lot. I'm working for the next fake soundtrack to hire an orchestra to record key moments or the whole thing depending on budget and timing.
Are there any genres in film, that you are attracted to or favour and what was the first movie you ever saw?
I must go in with the conviction that I can write any kind of music. Whether it's true or not is another problem. When I talk to directors and filmmakers, they usually use a lot of temp music for editing and get attached to it. At times, I end up having to copy things without them being too close to the original music to avoid copyrights and so on. But I usually try to make two different tracks so that I can suggest something different and we work from there. I think I'd be really into writing one of those big Pirate movie scores, not really in the style of Pirates of the Caribbean, but you know. Also, I always wanted to write music like John Powell. I think in the end he is the one I admire the most. Scores like How to Train your Dragon are just incredible to me and I really look up to John Powell. I also have a Noire detective movie idea I want to score almost in cliche you know?
But whether I can write any style or not, once I start, I'm really faced with the blank page, the empty staves and no idea what the hell I'm going to do. That's a drive as much as it is extremely stressful.
When working on a movie project it is probably quite restricting because of the timing and the sequences that you are writing for, with THE ROPE AND THE GUN, did the fact that there were no timings or set durations of sequences make it easier to be able to develop the themes within the soundtrack?
No, on the contrary I think. As much as hitting frames perfectly and dealing with unhappy directors and having precise queues can sound restrictive, frustrating and boring, these are great restrictions that make you find ways and tricks to manage them. The advantage of having a movie to score as opposed to doing a fake soundtrack, is that story really takes over the score. For these Fake Soundtracks I make, I need to write down some elements of plot to force myself to see some pictures and then can score with something happening in each piece!
The restrictions you get on films are helpful to get your inspiration going.

What we can learn from Kaiser Permanente and 'Shenanigans'
A look at why Kaiser Permanente leads the way in patient engagement and satisfaction.
In the 1990's I worked for my local school district and the health insurance they offered was Kaiser (I KNOW…gasp). At the time, Kaiser was under some scrutiny for their staff and clinics; if you publicly acknowledged Kaiser as your provider, people offered a concerned/horrified look, accompanied by a "tsk, tsk."
However, after a broken leg, a bout with strep throat and the birth of my only child, I give Kaiser 5 out of 5 stars. Yep, I just went there. Furthermore, over the course of 23 years, they treated my son for a broken leg, broken hand, broken arm, two sets of stitches (he is the definition of leap then look), and various childhood illnesses and immunizations and we LOVED every doctor/clinic we visited.
What can you learn from Kaiser?
Now remember, this was the 1990's, at that time I could request an appointment online. I could also view the results of various test and diagnosis, as well as check on the status of any prescription refills. My favorite feature? I could email my provider, if I had simple non-emergency medical question. Online communication in healthcare? That's silly talk!
I abhor having to pay $20 to my provider, just to have them tell me I have the sniffles because my snot is clear and I don't have a fever. I could have saved us both time and money had I been able to ask that question via email or a live chat. Don't get me started on Zoomcare; $89 later I am NOT a fan. Bygones.
Prepare for the shocking reveal…according Nue MD, the following are three things patients want:
- Digital services (i.e. online bill pay and appointment scheduling).
- Online follow-up interactions with physicians.
- Online payment clarity.
As an added twist, Healthcare Finance News reported that in regards to patient satisfaction metrics, healthcare needs to focus on the following:
- Optimizing self-service beyond bill pay.
- Following eCommerce practices.
- Track patient satisfaction.
The gods have spoken; and Kaiser is laughing at all of us and our struggle to grasp the usability of technology. It's not like it's the 1990's! Customer service is a lost art and frankly I am glad it's becoming a focus. It seems it should be automatic, but clearly it's not. It's been measured in healthcare and the results are not favorable.
I am a professor by trade and I'm a serial student. I love learning; you'll find that same passion for teaching at Litmos Healthcare. Learn from Kaiser: train your staff and automate your processes.
As for shenanigans…I just love that word. Say it and tell me it doesn't make you smile!

turned out well. Darn dog wouldn't eat the stems.
Yummly User 3 years ago
These were quite good. I added more Old Bay than the recipe called for, and sprinkled a bit of cheddar cheese on top for color. I still think it's missing something, but I'm not certain what it is. I'll definitely make these again, and play with them a bit next time.
Yummly User 3 years ago
These turned out delicious even cooked in our Foodi Ninja. The tops were possibly a little too brown after just 20 minutes but we'll definitely make them again.
Yummly User 3 years ago
they were a hit. Definitely making again
Yummly User 3 years ago
Very good! I used (hollowed out) baby portobello mushrooms, 1-1/2 oz. cheese, one lb. crab and a little extra Old Bay. Also eliminated the crackers. Otherwise, I followed the recipe.
Yummly User 3 years ago
DELICIOUS!!! I actually used large Portabella mushrooms & doubled the ingredients. This app is my new secret weapon 😋😋
Yummly User 3 years ago
We had to use two portabella mushrooms but worked fine... added a little more time due to dense mushroom filling, but still delicious!
Yummly User 4 years ago
perfect! easy and delicious
Yummly User 4 years ago
Really delicious, although takes longer to cook than the recipe. The mix was watery. Possibly cooking the mushrooms before may prevent this. Also added bacon on top for a crunchy porky topper.
Yummly User 4 years ago
This is also a great base to build a crab cake from as well. Just adjust cracker content to your desired consistency and bake, then finish under the broiler.... It was a little salty with all that cream cheese and crackers. Next time I will go with half cream cheese and have mayo instead. You can finely dice the stems and add them to the stuffing to stretch the recipe if needed.
Yummly User 4 years ago
Amazing loved them as my wife did also
Yummly User 4 years ago
awesome I love them and I will make them again for an apetitizer
Yummly User 4 years ago
recommend cooking a little less, the stuffing kind of dried out but still very good

Instagram's Dark Mode Is Here To Make Nighttime Scrolling So Easy
If you've upgraded to Apple iOS 13, you're probably already familiar with all the cool features the new operating system has. Of course, one of the most notable ones is Dark Mode, which allows you to view your iPhone in the alternative color palette of black and white. Besides the beautiful aesthetic, Dark Mode is also a practical function: Monochrome colors make long hours on your iPhone way easier on the eyes. Fans of Dark Mode will be happy to hear that the feature now extends to Instagram. The social media company rolled out the feature on both iOS and Android on Oct. 7. Here's how to get Instagram Dark Mode, which is now the coolest way to scroll through your newsfeed.
Getting Dark Mode on Instagram is super simple. You'll first want to make sure you have the latest version of Instagram downloaded. If you're using an iPhone, you'll need to be running the new iOS 13 — which as of Oct. 8 supports the new Instagram Dark Mode — and if you're an Android, you'll need the Android 10. If you're already using Dark Mode on your iPhone or Android's overall operating system, you won't need to do anything to get Dark Mode on Instagram — the app will automatically follow suit and switch to the black-and-dark gray version. Unfortunately, you aren't able to toggle on Dark Mode specifically within the app itself, which means your whole system will need to be on Dark Mode for it to work.
If you haven't tried Dark Mode on your iOS 13 operating system yet, now's the time, because it's seriously a game changer. To toggle on the system-wide Dark Mode, just go to your Settings, tap Display & Brightness, and then turn on the Dark button. Better yet, you can ask Siri to turn on Dark Mode by just saying, "Hey Siri, turn on/off the Dark Mode" — I swear, it's just like magic. For Android users, you'll similarly go to the Settings app, tap Display, and then click the Dark them button. Turning on dark mode is really as easy as that. In no time, you'll be viewing your screen from a whole new perspective.
If you're having trouble making sure your Instagram app is updated. In iOS 13, you can go to the App Store and click on your account icon in the top righthand corner. Then, you'll see the apps that need updating, and you can click "Update All." If there are no updates available, you can scroll down to the Instagram app in your account page in the App Store, and you can update from there if aren't up to date. For Android users, you can update your app in Google Play. Once you're all set with the latest version of the 'Gram — and if you're running iOS 13 or Android 10 — Instagram Dark Mode is yours whenever you want it.
Fans are elated about Instagram's Dark Mode, and it totally makes sense given how nice the monochromatic aesthetic looks on the photo-sharing app. Twitter user @brichareese praised the feature on all the different platforms: "My iPhone dark mode, Twitter dark mode, Instagram dark mode. Let's gooooo."
Twitter user @itskyleharris praised the aesthetic of the new version: "Instagram #darkmode is beautiful."
Other social media platforms, like Twitter, also support iOS 13's new Dark Mode. Though Twitter has had a Dark Mode theme since 2017, it became integrated with the overall iOS 13 system wide update in September 2019 so that it matches the overall look of your iPhone. Unlike Instagram, however, Twitter gives you the extra control to toggle on Dark Mode even if your system's appearance isn't. It's a useful option that makes Dark Mode more flexible, since you may not always want the app to match your system's appearance. Hopefully Instagram will incorporate a native Dark Mode option in the future. (I'll stop scrolling long enough to cross my fingers for that!)
With so many platforms going dark this fall, now's the time to give it a try. So sit back, dim the lights, and enjoy your pre-bedtime Instagram session, without all the squinting.

Tuesday's Thoughts!.
Yesterday I read someone's response to a post someone made in a Golden group I'm in (I know Furmom nerd). It really seemed to get under my skin and all I kept thinking was "If this girl was in front of you right now, asking these questions, would you say what you're saying right to her?"
It bothered me because she was asking questions that this other person felt were silly and dumb and she clearly shared how she felt she didn't know anything and shouldn't be a Furmomma.
Now. In my experience. WITH ANYTHING. We aren't BORN knowing everything. We LEARN as we go. We educate ourselves…we seek guidance from others who have already done some education and dedication towards it…etc. (which is exactly what this girl was doing AND seemed as though she was grateful for the advice and was taking action).
It's funny how one thought triggers another BECAUSE THEN I thought of how this has happened to me in my life. With Teachers. With Job Supervisors and/or Bosses. With fellow Coworkers etc.
People just need to step back before they react!
This goes for ALL things and walks of life!! Human is human! Human is not being perfect. Everyone is traveling their own road, learning and doing their own thing AT different speeds and abilities. Everyone has struggles, obstacles, etc. it's unfair to expect everyone to KNOW everything or be perfect!
So in the advice of my Baby B. Stop. Look. Listen.
✋🏻 stop before you react.
👀 look at all angles of the situation.
👂 listen to what you're thinking about saying BEFORE you say or type it. AND we all know YOU CAN NOT hear emotion through text!
You can call it shaming, bullying, thinking you know better, have a sense of entitlement etc. ALL IN ALL –> One isn't above one another! There's enough negativity in this world which causes backlash and hurt.
So next time you see what YOU may not feel is a dumb question, reaction, outreach, etc (**AND THERES NO PHYSICAL HARM being done to a person or animal**) then lend a kind supportive hand to help further educate in a positive way VS shaming them. Let's be a part of the solution. Not become a problem. Do the next right thing. #givelove #support #guidance
