PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) --A good amount of sunshine earlier today helped boost temperatures into the low 70's today. But, a frontal boundary helped spark some scattered late afternoon thunderstorms with brief heavy rain, lightning and even small hail.
TONIGHT: An evening spotty shower gives way to a dry overnight with partly cloudy skies and a low of 47.
THURSDAY (ST. PATRICK'S DAY): Clouds will mix with some sun. It's breezy, but still relatively mild. There's a slight chance of a few pop-up, light showers during the afternoon and perhaps a rumble of thunder in far northern areas. Overall, however, this is a mainly dry, nice day with a high of 65.
FRIDAY: A cold front crosses the region with a few passing showers possible. The big change will be the arrival of gradually cooler air as we transition into the weekend. Look for clouds, some sun, a chilly breeze and a lower high of just 55.
SATURDAY: A brief break is in store with mostly sunny skies expected, but we're even cooler with a high of just 46.
SUNDAY: An area of low pressure will be swinging through the southeastern U.S. and will begin to strengthen as it rounds the corner and tries to come up the eastern seaboard as a coastal storm. With highs only in the low 40's and temps in the upper atmosphere well below freezing this could be a classic wet snow situation setting up for the first day of spring. The big question is how close to the coast is the storm. The closer in the heavier the precipitation. The farther offshore the lesser the impacts. There's still a small chance it stays completely off the coast. Still plenty of time to watch this, but the key timing looks to be Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. The high: 42.
MONDAY: It's a partly sunny day with gusty winds possible. Another spotty shower can't be ruled out. The high is 48.
TUESDAY: Look for partly sunny skies and another cool high of 50.
WEDNESDAY: Look for mostly cloudy skies with a bit if rain possible. The high is 59.

When an individual has been injured due to the negligence of another person or organization, he or she likely has a personal injury claim to file. These claims are typically filed with the at-fault party's insurance company. In some cases they warrant lawsuits directly against the at-fault party.
Remember that the insurance company representative who works with you in the claims process is there to protect the interests of the insurance company. Any information you provide to that representative can be used against you to turn down your insurance claim.
At the Law Office of Gayle J. Brown, we recommend strongly that you not talk to any representatives from the insurance company. Instead, retain our office. Let our experienced personnel communicate with the insurance company on your behalf and protect your rights.
Help In A Wide Range Of Personal Injury Matters
Personal injury cases can arise in many scenarios. Unsafe premises in retail stores can cause injury. Product defects in a consumer good may have harmed you or a loved one. Even a dog bite or animal attack falls under the umbrella of personal injury law.
Car Accidents Are A Major Cause Of Personal Injury Claims Throughout Alaska
While we handle a wide range of personal injury matters, a large portion of our practice is devoted to helping car accident victims. These motor vehicle accidents typically involve serious injuries — injuries that make people turn to insurance companies for medical and financial support.
Do not make the mistake of thinking that the insurance company is there to help you after the car accident injury. In fact, you need your own attorney to protect you against the insurance company representative and help you collect maximum compensation.
Let Us Be Your Legal Advocate
Unlike the insurance company, our firm will work with you on an individual basis to investigate your case to determine what your rights are, not to help the insurance company. Attorney Gayle J. Brown works with each of her clients on an individual basis to gather the facts of his or her accident. This investigation can range from paperwork, to interviewing witnesses, to even visiting the site of the accident itself.
Let our firm help you understand what to look for and how to build your best case possible. In doing so, we help you protect your rights and ensure that any party that caused your injury is held responsible. We do everything that the rules allow us to do to make sure you gain access to the proceeds and benefits you need to pay for the expenses arising out of your auto accident-related injury.
Contact An Anchorage Car Accident Injury Attorney
For an appointment to discuss your personal injury with a lawyer from our Alaska firm, please call us at 866-930-0338. You can also schedule a completely discreet and confidential initial consultation with our firm by contacting us online.

No doubt our guests welcomed cool drinks on a particularly warm evening, but the buzz making this event such a success was all digital.
Ms Bonefeld-Dahl first introduced herself and how her international IT background led her to understand the importance of bridging the divide between the digital technology industry and policy-making. She then highlighted how the association, representing 25,000 tech companies in Europe, uses its relationships in Brussels and with national trade associations as a key player in preventing and dismantling fragmentation in the Digital Single Market.
She emphasized the importance of overcoming the perception of the industry as the "big bad IT sector. People need to see how digital transformation works for the benefit of society and business and the welfare of citizens. We need to promote the data economy as the main driver for sustainable growth in Europe and the development of digital skills as the best opportunity for jobs for its young people," she said. However, Ms Bonefeld-Dahl warned that "Two-thirds of the unicorns, the companies who can really create jobs, are leaving the EU. This is down to a lack of risk capital, scale, and skills."
Turning to data privacy and cybersecurity, she stressed that "There is much the industry can do to support regulation creating a safe environment for data. However the framework we adopt must also avoid holding back innovation and the development of the infrastructure people need to take full advantage of their devices, the IoT and connected cars."
Ms Bonefeld-Dahl concluded that "Macron and Merkel understand digital. We as an industry need to understand their agendas and make sure we are bringing everyone along."

"Midnight In America" Book Signing Event with Jonathan White

Death of an Assassin Book Signing
From the depths of German and American archives comes a story one soldier never wanted told. The first volunteer killed defending Robert E. Lee's position in battle was really a German assassin.

Lee wrote a letter home, praising this unnamed fallen…Find out more »

Massive marijuana haul uncovered
A US woman is jailed in Mexico on accusations that she tried to smuggle nearly 12 pounds (5.4kg) of marijuana into the United States.
A court hearing was held today in the northern state of Sonora for 42-year-old Yanira Maldonado.
Maldonado and her husband said they were returning from a funeral last Wednesday when the bus they were on was stopped at a military checkpoint.
Maldonado was arrested after soldiers reported finding the marijuana underneath her seat, according to a spokeswoman for the army in Sonora.
Gary Maldonado said his wife was framed and said authorities originally demanded US$5000 for her release.
Yanira Maldonado was taken to a state prison after being turned over to federal prosecutors, said army spokeswoman Denisse Coronado. A federal judge will decide whether Maldonado should face trial, Coronado said.
The Mexican Embassy in Washington said in a statement that Yanira Maldonado's ''rights to a defence counsel and due process are being observed''.
The embassy didn't respond to allegations she was framed.
Gary Maldonado's brother-in-law, Brandon Klippel, said officers from the checkpoint were expected to testify at a hearing today.
Patrick Ventrell, acting deputy spokesman for the US State Department in Mexico, confirmed Maldonado's arrest, but referred questions to her attorney and Mexican authorities.

When our founding fathers were signing the declaration of independence, I can only imagine their thoughts of a bright future for our nation. They understood the meaning of life, liberty, and were already engaging in the pursuit of happiness. As time went on, our nation changed. The ideas that those men had were questioned. It was decided that some of the rules did not fit the times, or challenges that we were faced with, so changes were made to " repair " the rules. Today, I do not want to challenge the validity of the words those men signed their name to, and I have no intention to address all of the amendments that have been made to it. But I would like to question the Fifth amendment. The Fifth Amendment protects witnesses from being forced to incriminate themselves. To " plead the fifth" is a refusal to answer a question because the response could form self-incriminating evidence. Well, isn't that the point of being sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth ? I bring this discussion because of Peter Lowy, Steven Greenfield, William Wu, and Shannon Marsh. These men were allowed to avoid the Senate permanent subcommittee on investigations questions about accounts at LGT, a Liechtenstein bank that the Senate panel says helped clients evade federal taxes. These men, allegedly, funneled money into offshore banks to avoid paying taxes. They pleaded the fifth, and walked out. Peter Lowy could not even bother to show, and sent his attorney to respond for him.The fact that these people were called in front of a committee to answer questions, in my opinion, would mean that there was some kind of illegal activity. Surely someone that was investigating these men, the ones that brought the information to the committee to start with, had enough information to prove a criminal act had occurred. But no, the men walked away without answering for what they may or may not have done. The Senate panel has no plans to pursue the silent witnesses further, because their point was not to go after these people, but to show what LGT is doing." Well, that should solve the problem. Maybe now, these men, and the owners of the additional 19,000 + accounts that are being questioned will call that 1-800 IRS number and say " oh yeah, by the way, I forgot to tell you about this money I have......" Hey, GW ! Did you make sure these guy's got their stimulus check ? I hope the IRS is foaming at the mouth waiting to get these people in their office.

Digital Blue
Digital Blue
Ready for the digital transformation
Digitization is changing the economy and society to an extent that seemed inconceivable just a few years ago. Disruption and scalable business models are the new buzzwords. But what do they mean and what prospects do they offer for the construction and real estate industries?
There is virtually no sector of the economy or area of life that can escape the digital transformation. The transition is accompanied by far-reaching dematerialization: Photo collections have become files that you can store on a smartphone or in the cloud. Wikipedia has replaced multi-volume encyclopedias. Books can now be purchased digitally and read on an e-reader or other device. Records, audio tapes, films and telephone books are just some of the media that are moving to the smartphone. Smartphone owners can share activities immediately and with millions – indeed billions – of people (almost) anywhere in the world.
Disruption winners and losers
No technological change in recent decades has brought such massive and lasting change to structures, communication processes and habits. That is why this type of change is called 'disruptive'. The impact of this trend on the publishing industry, for example, is huge.
Silicon Valley has recently become a kind of global world market leader for disruption and scalable models. Platforms dominate the digital economy. They are muscling in to act as intermediaries between manufacturers and conventional retailers on the one hand and customers on the other.
Examples include Amazon (a retailer with no retail space), Facebook (a media company with no media) and Uber (a taxi company with no taxis). Google acts as a search engine – that is, as the platform for platforms – generating huge advertising revenues in the process.
The real estate industry also faces challenges
The automobile industry is also facing upheaval. The keywords here are autonomous driving, shared mobility and electric drive systems. And while the banking and insurance industries have become alarmed at the rapidly increasing number of fintech and insuretech companies, the real estate industry does not seem to be fully aware of the new players in the digital transformation.
Of course, the real estate industry in Germany is considerably more complex and more heterogeneous, and the basis of existing business models – property itself – is still very analog and highly diversified. This means that – in some areas at least – disruptive and scalable business models are much more difficult to implement than in the industries discussed above. But the alarm bells should be ringing loud in any industry where customers receive offers from brokers and finance providers.
An increasing number of property technology startups are succeeding in penetrating the industry. The 'Immobilienscout24' platform, for example, has shown how a new business model can be scaled up in a relatively short time in the real estate industry, dramatically changing the structure of the value chain. The real estate sector now is abuzz with numerous brokerage, financing and digital platform startups.
Is the 'Smart City' the city of the future?
The major planning and construction tasks of the future lie in the area of cities and megacities with their well-known challenges. Google is particularly active in this area.
The company's laboratories and research departments are working on self-driving cars, quantum computers, cancer treatments, and a drone delivery service. And soon, software will not only control smartphones, but also cars, household appliances, and even Google robots developed in-house. Satellites and balloons at the edge of space will provide the entire planet with Internet access. On October 2, 2015, the 1998 startup Google founded a holding company called Alphabet and moved all its business divisions to it. The structure of this holding makes it clear that it is part of an overarching plan, the main aim of which is to digitize life in cities. Users surrender their data and, in return, are permitted to participate in Google's vision of a better and more efficient future.
The master plan for the smart city, the digital city of the future, is evidently to be developed by Sidewalk Labs. Initiatives include
- Digital buildings as smart homes with new ownership models, such as shared ownership.
- Digital mobility management of limited road capacity, autonomous driving with electric cars, and shared mobility
- Digital management and personalized social services with digital health check
- Digital energy management
These plans naturally require a high-speed digital infrastructure in cities, with upgrade of fiber-optic networks to 5G to handle the huge data streams.
Alphabet is also involved in these projects with appropriate subsidiaries, including Fiber (a company for the rollout of fiber-optic networks), Nest (as the basis for smart buildings of the future), and Google Maps (which supplies geodata for the digital city). But one thing is clear: 'Smart' alone is definitely not enough for the future of urban planning!
How can we advance digital technology in the construction and real estate industry?
Drees & Sommer experts can advise you on these different aspects of digitization. Whether planning, building and operating with the aid of Building Information Modeling (BIM), providing solutions for a sustainable BLUE CITY (for example with Cradle to Cradle®), or providing services covering all aspects of ICT – we are your reliable partner!

Wanted to stream some stuff and suddenly got this error:
Unhandled exception (Choose formaat A suitable driver is not available to provide vaild format selections.)
I was running an older version of SAM (version 2) and it seemed that a 64-bit thing was causing the error. So note that this only works on 64-bit systems. To solve this problem, I did the following:
1. Download LAME ACM codec here.
2. Extract the the files to some directory like C:\lame
3. Run the command prompt as an administrator (by right clicking on command prompt).
4. Navigate to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 by typing in:
cd %windir%\SysWOW64
5. Now register the codec by typing in:
rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 C:\lame\LameACM.inf
6. Done.
Note that if you get the same error, there might be some other problem causing it and in that case this solution might now work.

This is what happened last night…
Glad one of us works hard for the $$$ to support our expensive lifestyle. Just sayin'…
It's so hot today. I managed to do a 3 mi run outside, and after that I could do no more.
A smoothie and greek yogurt + GoLean Crunch cereal was quickly eaten, afterwards.
I made the smoothie with chocolate whey protein powder and some Justin's Classic Almond Butter Butter that I got for $4.99…nowadays that's practically free. This stuff is the jam.
Have some work stuff to organize for this week aka figuring out the logistics of my 16-stop marketing audits. It's fun, be jealous.

The present invention relates generally to a device for determining the clotting time of whole blood and in particular to such a device which incorporates all the elements necessary to determine the clotting time into a compact hand held unit so as to permit the determination to be made at the patient's bedside.
The time it takes for whole blood to clot is an important factor in the conduct of various medical treatments or in the diagnosis of certain diseases. For example, knowledge of the clotting time of whole blood is essential for any patient undergoing heparin therapy which involves the administration of heparin to reduce the ability of the blood to clot. Such cases, for example, include patients undergoing treatment for thromboembolic disease or for those undergoing dialysis which involves the circulation of blood outside the body through a dialysis machine. The clotting time factor is also used in the diagnosis of certain diseases, such a hemophilia, Christmas disease and VonWillebrand's disease.
A general discussion of the technique for determining the clotting time of whole blood and its use in medical treatment and diagnosis is described generally in the American Journal of Clinical Pathology, volume 66, pages 899-940, 1976 and the Journal of the American Medical Association of May 2, 1966, volume 196 at pages 150-154. Briefly, the test involves the drawing of a small quantity (2 milliliters) of venous blood into a warmed tube containing diatomaceous earth. The tube is gently agitated to permit mixing and thereafter gently agitated at periodic intervals until the first definite clot is formed. The time interval between the appearance of blood in the tube and the first unmistakable clot is the activated coagulation time or the ACT. Throughout the entire procedure, the tube and its contents should be maintained at 37° C.
Heretofore, the equipment used to perform the test consisted of a water bath or preheated block, a timer calibrated in one second intervals and a thermometer. All this equipment made the test awkward if not difficult to perform at the patient's bedside. In addition, the need for periodically withdrawing the tube from the bath or heat block to inspect for clots detracted from the maintenance of the desired temperature of the samples throughout the test procedure. Also, just when the first definitive clot begins to form is a subjective determination which could be facilitated by continuous observation of the sample. However, equipment heretofore used did not make such continuous observation possible in that if either a heating block or water bath is used, the sample must be removed to inspect for clots and then returned in order to maintain the sample at temperature.
The present invention, in contrast to prior apparatus used, provides a portable unit to perform the test wherein the unit is capable of performing the heating and timing function of the test while allowing continuous observation of the sample. All these functions are incorporated into a hand held unit which permits the test to be conveniently conducted at the patient's bedside and which permits the sample to be agitated as required by the test.
The present invention can be characterized in one aspect thereof by the provision of a hand held housing defining a chamber for receiving a glass tube containing the blood sample to be tested, the housing having a window portion to permit visual observation of the sample; a heater in the housing for maintaining the temperature of the sample at 37° C; an electronic counter; a display on the housing for reading the contents of the counter as a time function; and means for starting and stopping the display without interrupting the operation of the counter so that restarting the display from a stop condition produces a readout on the display representing the sum of previous readout plus the elapsed count since the last stop condition.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of the unit of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a side elevation view of the unit;
FIG. 3 is an end elevation view of the unit partly broken away in section; and
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the electronics within the unit.
Referring to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows the testing unit of the present invention generally indicated at 10. The unit includes a housing 12 which contains the electronic components schematically diagramed in FIG. 4. The housing also contains the power supply (not shown) such as a battery or the like for operating the unit. The unit is of a size which can be conveniently held in one hand with the overall length being approximately 7 inches and the width 5 inches. Arranged along the right hand side of housing 12 as viewed in FIG. 1 are four push button keys for operating the unit as set out hereinbelow, including a stop/start key 14, a reset key 16, a time/temperature key 18 and an on/off key 20.
Centrally located on the face of housing 12 is a digital read-out 22 wherein the time or temperature functions are displayed.
As shown in the figures, housing 12 has adjacent one end an upstanding portion 24. This portion defines a chamber 26 (FIGS. 2 and 3) with two openings 28, 30 for receiving therein, two glass tubes 32. The glass tube inserted through opening 28 will eventually receive the sample of blood to be tested whereas the other tube is used as a reserve for subsequent tests. Tubes 32 are standard articles of commerce and form no part of the present invention. For example, one tube suitable for use in the test procedure is sold by the Becton, Dickinson and Company under the trademark VACUTAINER. It is sufficient for purposes of the present invention merely to say that such tubes include a glass body 34 and a rubber stopper 36. Each tube is pre-sterilized and is evacuated to facilitate the drawing of venous blood into the tube. The tubes, as sold, also contain the appropriate amount of diatomaceous earth or the like required in performing the test and are of a size sufficient to hold the amount of blood required in the test, namely, approximately 2ml.
Within chamber 26, is a heating block 38 designed to receive the body of each glass tube. The contours of the heating block are designed for close, intimate contact with the glass body 34 of each tube to insure a good transfer of heat between the heating block and the tubes.
Upstanding portion 24 is also provided with a window 40 so that glass tubes 32 and their contents can be observed without removing the tube from the heating block. To further facilitate observation of the contents of the particular glass tube holding the blood sample, chamber 26 is provided with a light source 42 (FIGS. 1 and 2) which illuminates the portion of the chamber containing the glass tube inserted through opening 28.
Completing the structure of housing 12 is a channel or groove 44 which passes along upstanding portion 24 adjacent the openings 28, 30 into chamber 26. The purpose of this groove is to receive and frictionally hold the rubber stopper 36 of each glass tube. This acts as a clamping means to hold the glass tube in chamber 26 as the unit 10 is periodically tilted in accordance with the test procedure.
Referring now to the block diagram of FIG. 4, the electrical components within housing 12 include a control circuit 46. The electronic components making up control circuit 46 would include for example, any suitable temperature sensor, temperature reference and comparator so as to maintain heater 38 slightly above 37° C. The electronics also include an oscillator 48 having its output directed to either of two frequency dividers 50 and 52. The oscillator and frequency divider 50 together with a counter (not shown) act as an electronic clock to perform the timing function of the ACT test. This time function can be shown on display 22 by operation of time/temperature key 18 and its associated circuitry. The other frequency divider is used with an analog-to-digital converter 54 to digitize the output of temperature control circuit 46. This information can thus be shown on display 22 as the temperature function of the ACT test by operation of the temperature key. Thus, the time/temperature key 18 and its associated circuitry can be operated to selectively show either the time or temperature of the test on digital display 22.
While there is relatively good heat transfer between heating block 38 and glass tubes 32, there does exist a temperature gradient between them over the heating range. It has been empirically determined that this gradient is about 1° C. The analog-to-digital converter 54 includes a compensating feature operating over the heating range which takes this temperature gradient into consideration so that the temperature read out appearing on digital display 22 is slightly below the actual temperature of the heating block. For example, when display 22 shows a temperature of 37° C, the actual temperature of the heating block would be about 38° C.
When the components making up the electronic clock are connected to the digital display, start/stop switch 14 and its associated circuitry can be operated to inactivate the ability of the display to read the clock. However, operation of the start/stop switch stops only the read-out function and does not stop the operation of the clock itself. Thereafter, pressing the start/stop switch 14 again, will result in the display indicating the sum of the previous display plus the elapsed time since the stop condition was activated. Thus, start/stop switch 14 and its associated circuitry will provide a time update feature so that the display itself may be started and stopped several times, without interferring with the continuous running the electronic clock. Resetting the clock to zero is accomplished by reset key 16 and its associated circuitry.
In operation, the on/off key 20 is pushed to activate the power supply of the unit such as a battery or other DC source (not shown). This supplies power to heater control 46 to begin heating heater block 38 up to the operating temperature. At the same time, the digital display 22 is lit and indicates the temperature of the heating block. In approximately 15 minutes, the display will indicate that the temperature of heater block 38 has reached 37° C. At this point, one or two empty glass tubes 32 are inserted into chamber 26 through housing openings 28 and 30. The rubber stoppers 36 of each tube are pressed firmly in groove 40 so as to clamp the tubes in the chamber and in direct contact with heater block 38.
It takes approximately 3 minutes for the empty glass tubes to reach the temperature of 37° C. Accordingly, when the tubes are put in place, the time/temperature key temperature button 18 can be pushed to start the clock and display the contents of the clock on digital display 22. Pushing key 18 also turns on light 42 to facilitate observation of the tube inserted through opening 28. Display 22 indicates time in seconds, so when it reads 180, the operator can be reasonably assured that the glass tubes are at the proper temperature of 37° C. At this point, the venous blood specimen is collected and drawn directly from the patient into the pre-warmed glass tube. When the blood sample first enters the tube, the timing sequence of the test can be initiated by pressing and immediately releasing reset button 16. This resets and starts electronic clock at zero.
According to the standard test technique, the glass tube containing the blood sample should be inverted five times after it is filled to insure the proper mixing of the materials in the tube with the blood sample. This can be done either by removing the glass tube from the unit or simply by inverting the entire unit the required number of times. At the 60 second mark, and at 5 second intervals thereafter, the unit is gently tilted from side to side and the sample observed through window 40 to detect the appearance of the first visible clot. When the clot is detected, stop/start key 14 is pressed which stops the display. However, in the event that further observation of the sample indicates that the end point determination was premature, i.e. a clot actually begins forming say 10 seconds later than the point at which the timer was stopped, the start/stop key can be depressed and released twice in succession. Since the electronic clock mechanism continues to run, this will update the display to indicate the actual total elapsed time from the start of the procedure. At this point, the time/temperature key 18 can be pushed to reconnect heater control 46 to the display to reconfirm that the temperature of the heater block is still at 37° C. If for any reason another test is to be rerun to confirm the results of the previous test, the reserve glass tube in opening 30 is at temperature and readily available for use.
Thus it should be appreciated that the present invention provides all the elements needed to perform the ACT test in a single hand held unit. The unit provides for the incubation of the sample at 37° C and illumination to aid in clot detection, the required timing capacity and a digital display to selectively indicate either incubation temperature or elapsed time. The unit further provides the capability of compensating for any error due to a premature determination of clot formation by providing the means to update the time function of the test. The design also permits glass tubes 32 to be clamped within the housing in a manner which does not in anyway interfere with the drawing of the blood sample into the tubes.

Turkey burgers are a staple in our house all year round but I especially enjoy making them when I can grill outdoors. Adding sauteed garlicky spinach is a great way to add moisture, boost flavor and fill your family's dinner with vitamins and nutrients. Leafy greens are a vital component to a healthy diet and most of us aren't getting enough of them. If you're worried about picky eaters, you could certainly mince the spinach and hide it a la Jessica Seinfeld but I'm not a huge fan of hiding healthy food from kids. Of course, my 8 month old didn't join us for burgers this evening so who am I to say?
My picky husband ate two of these and gave rave reviews. In our house, that the same as a 2 year old's approval.
Your grill is waiting.
Adding sauteed garlicky spinach to turkey burgers is a great way to add moisture, boost flavor and fill your family's dinner with vitamins and nutrients.
- 4 c spinach
- 1 clove garlic grated
- 1 tbs worcestershire sauce
- 20 oz ground turkey breast
- 2 tbs onion grated
- 1 tsp grill seasoning such as McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning
- 4 in sundried tomatoes packed oil minced
Pre-heat the grill to high.
Heat medium frying pan over medium-high heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Add garlic and cook 30 seconds before adding spinach and Worcestershire sauce.
Saute for 5 minutes until wilted; set aside to cool in a medium bowl.
Once spinach has cooled, use a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
Add ground turkey, grated onion, grill seasoning and sundried tomatoes.
Form into burgers and grill until well done (about 4-5 minutes per side depending on thickness.)
Grated Onion: Using a cheese grater hold onion and grate directly over bowl so that onion juices land in the turkey mixture. These juices provide a delicious onion flavor without adding large chunks of onion to the burger.

There are many reasons why I love living in Sydney and ended up calling it my home. Firstly, is how multi-cultural this city is and secondly, throughout the year Sydney puts on some amazing free festivals. Since I have known Ian he has been talking about the Moon Festival at Cabramatta. Not because of the muli-cultural aspect, oh no, but the fact he won a prawn peeling contest one year … Continue reading
Ripley's Believe it or Not!

I just love his quote: "I have travelled in 201 countries including Hell (Norway), and the … Continue reading
Howling Dog Sledding
When I knew I was coming to Canada, I started researching what to do and the first thing that jumped out at me was dog sledding. Therefore on discovering I could do it from Banff, it was a no brainer and I signed up. Luck was certainly on our side since it was the last trip of the season. On arrival to our sledding trip, we soon discovered why they … Continue reading
Easter in The Rockies
When I think of Canada, I think tall fir trees, beautiful lakes, mountains and obviously lots of snow in winter. Saskatoon shattered that picture perfect image of Canada that was floating around in my little head. Maybe I am as naive as those stoopid tourists that come to Australia and expect Skippy to be jumping down the main street. Therefore, over Easter, my friend and I decide to escape the prairies, … Continue reading
Beyond Saskatoon
Where have I been sent to? Saskatoon is in the middle of nowhere. It is coming to the end of the Saskatoon Winter, but it looks pretty bleak outside with all the trees completely bare of leaves and on occasion's flurries of snow. Whenever I leave my apartment, with all the layers of clothes, I look like a Michelin man. It gets damn cold out there. In the true Winter months … Continue reading

Triangle Chatter
The Power to Grow
The beginning of 2013 brought mixed signals for the U.S. economy and continued economic recovery. Once again this year, we know that attracting new industries to North Carolina will be highly competitive.
The key: figuring out how to set ourselves apart from the competition, whether it's halfway around the globe or right down the street.
In more than 70 communities across North Carolina, public power is one way we can distinguish ourselves. Public power is known for its reliability, outstanding customer service and local control. In many instances, that local control gives us the flexibility to develop custom solutions for new and expanding companies.
ElectriCities of North Carolina works closely with member communities to attract economic development investments and create new jobs. We promote public power communities in national advertising and direct mail campaigns, meet with prospects at trade shows targeting key industry sectors, and work in partnership with local economic development organizations.
Those efforts are paying dividends: the last two weeks of 2012 brought news of more than 500 new jobs with $142 million in investment for NC Public Power.
North Carolina has a lot to offer prospective companies. By continually investing in infrastructure to deliver reliable power and by supporting local initiatives to develop a skilled workforce, our public power communities are proving that we have the power to grow.

DescriptionImpressive Grouping of Early Firemen's Badges. Nothing can compare to the elaborate and colorful novelty badges distributed in the early 1900s for reunions and events. Here we have 12 badges with celluloid and ribbon attachments that were given to those participating in a convention in East Stroudsburg, PA. Distributed by the Acme Hose Co., many of these badges picture the fire engines or firemen themselves and date from 1897 to 1914. They are in a variety of sizes but all have been well kept and remain in nearly pristine condition. Here is a chance for a collector to add a wonderful grouping to his collection, or for a beginning collector to start with the best.

42 Minutes, £2,600 Lost: The U.K.'s Growing Gambling Problem
September 23, 2017,
Viral arthritis is swelling and irritation (inflammation) of the joints from a viral infection.
Arthritis may be a symptom of many virus-related illnesses. It usually disappears on its own without any lasting effects.
It may occur with:
It may also occur after immunization with the rubella vaccine. This is a common form of childhood joint discomfort.
While many people are infected with these viruses or receive the rubella vaccine, only a few people develop arthritis. No risk factors have been established.
The main symptoms are joint pain and swelling of one or more joints.
Your doctor may prescribe pain medicines to relieve discomfort. You doctor may also prescribe anti-inflammatory medications.
If joint inflammation is severe, aspiration of fluid from the affected joint may relieve pain.
There is no known way to prevent viral arthritis.

Chapter 18: As Rain in Forks
Disclaimer: Stephenie's
Recap: "Bella, it's one of them. Run."
So I ran. Fast. Edward had a firm hold on my hand, pulling me faster than I usually ran. I never stumbled, to my surprise, but I didn't have time to be happy about that.
"Call your family! Tell them they know," I suggested as we ran.
"They don't know yet, Bella," he responded, pulling out his phone and dialing anyway. "One of them was there before us. They were probably close by, though. If they picked up our scent…we don't have much time." The look on his face was what scared me most. The fear in his eyes was heartbreaking.
"Alice?" he asked, bringing the phone to his ear. "They were there, in our meadow. I don't know why, but if they pick up her scent…tell Carlisle we've got to leave now. Get a head start. Bella and I will be right behind you." A pause, and then, "No, Alice, don't wait for us. I only picked up one of their scents. Black, I think. I'm not sure when he started phasing, but…yes, we're almost at the house. Leave the keys on the counter, have Emmett pack the Volvo for me. Because he's faster, Alice. Leave now. Please." He hung up then, still running, his pace never slowing or faltering throughout the entire conversation.
"They're leaving now, right?" I asked anxiously.
"All of them except Emmett and Rosalie…just in case we need their help. If the dogs catch up to us," he said darkly, running a bit faster. I could see the break in the endless trees now, telling me that we were close.
We entered the house, slowing down a bit. Most of the furniture remained, but nothing else. Edward jogged straight to the kitchen counter, then took the keys from the counter with his free hand- the one that didn't have a firm grip on my own.
He turned to me, pulling me closer to him immediately. "Bella, listen to me," he commanded, taking my face in his hands. "He was behind us. His name is Jacob Black, and he's a new werewolf. Very new. He's not very fast yet, or good at fighting, I'm guessing. If he catches up to us, I need you to run, okay?" The look in his face was desperate, pleading.
"No, Edward. I'm not leaving without you," I replied firmly.
His eyes blazed. "Yes. You are. I love you, Isabella Swan, and I refuse to see you get hurt." He leaned down swiftly, crushing my lips to his for just a second. "Let's go. Hurry."
We sprinted to the car, and we had pulled out of the driveway before thirty seconds had passed. "He's behind us," Edward murmured as we sped away from the house. I turned in my seat, and I didn't need to look far to see a large, russet-colored wolf running in the middle of the street. It stared back at me for a while before slowing down, then turning back, then trotting back into the forest slowly.
"He knows you," Edward said suddenly, his tone astonished.
"What?" I couldn't remember anything about a Jacob.
"His father, Billy Black and your father…they're pretty good friends. He must've put the pieces together…we said you and I eloped, but then he picked up my scent, plus a new one. I'm not sure, but I think he may know that I can hear what he's thinking. He doesn't want anything to do with killing Charlie's kid. He can't keep it from his pack, though. There are no secrets, he says. He's thinking that he's sorry, and that he hopes this car can go faster than it is now." Edward's tone was curious, but not panicked, and his ryes were a bit less worried than they were minutes ago. He pushed a bit harder on the gas pedal, though. "I think he may try to buy us some time. I guess he respects your father quite a bit. To go against his pack…that's rare."
"Thank God for you, Jacob Black." I mumbled under my breath. "The rest of your family…how far ahead are they?" I inquired, looking over Edward's breathtaking profile as his gaze remained locked on the road ahead.
"Our family isn't too far away. They only left a couple minutes before us. Once we're out of town, we'll be much safer. They can't follow our scent if we're in a car. Besides, knowing Forks, it will rain soon." A confident smile lit up his face for a moment, and my entire body relaxed.
"Where are we going, again?" I asked, curious as to where our new home would be.
"This little group of houses not too far from Washington. Esme designed and decorated four of them, and we bought them after she finished. You and I will share one, Emmett and Rose another, Jasper and Alice-"
"Yeah, I think I get the idea," I interrupted, laughing, although I was having a hard time controlling the butterflies in my stomach at the thought of sharing a house with Edward, alone. He cast a sideways glance in my direction, probably thinking the same thing I was.
"About school," Edward started. "I think you should wait awhile to start up again…when you do, I'll go with you, but we should wait a year or two…just because of the bloodlust," he explained.
"Fine by me," I responded cheerfully. And it was. The more time with Edward without school as an interruption, the better.
"Me, too," he agreed, grinning.
We were both relatively quiet for the remainder of the short drive. It would've been awkward if it weren't for the music he had playing.
Just a few hours later, we pulled into a long gravel driveway-one of four in a row. The winding path reminded me of the driveway of his old house. The car screeched to a stop in front of a beautiful stucco house, smaller than his previous one but bigger than Charlie's.
Edward turned to me as I stared at the glorious structure. "Welcome home, Miss Swan," he whispered, laying a kiss on my cheek. I turned to him with a smile.
"It's beautiful," I complimented. Edward stepped out of the car to come around and open my door for me.
"I'm glad you like it." His tone was pleased and relieved as he took my hand, leading me to the door. We stepped inside, to a dimly lit room. The curtains were all drawn and the couches covered in dusty white sheets.
We worked together to uncover each piece of furniture, and with each couch or table or chair that was revealed, I found myself gasping. All of it was so lovely.
An hour later, Edward and I sat down on the largest couch, content. He turned to me silently, taking my hand and pulling it to his face as he leaned toward me. His lips touched mine gently, just barely moving. He pulled away after just a second to stare at me, a concerned glint in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" I whispered.
"Bella, you know that, if you wanted….if you decided you were wrong about…if you realized that you didn't want to…live like…" He was speaking unbearably slowly, and his stuttering words gave me an uneasy feeling.
"Spit it out, Edward," I demanded impatiently. Then, at the broken look on his face, I added, "Please."
"I just wanted to know that, if you changed your mind about me, or the way my family and I live…I just need you to know that you're not…obligated to stay w-"
"Are you kidding?" I asked, dubious. "I thought you were smarter than that, Edward Cullen. To think that I would leave you? Voluntarily? You're insane, I swear you are."
"Seriously, Bella. Please don't stay just to…make me happy or spare my feelings. Only stay if it's what you really want," he insisted, staring at the hardwood floor.
"Edward, look at me." He obliged. "Do you understand that I love you?" I asked, a bit condescendingly.
"I understand that you think you love me," he replied carefully. "But you're so young, Bella. I'm positive you don't love me like I love you." As sad as his tone was, his words angered me.
"You think that because I haven't been alive as long as you have I can't love you?!" I demanded, standing.
"Not that you can't love me, Bella. Just that…I've lived so long without you…all by myself, and now that I've met you, I can appreciate the diff-"
"You think I don't appreciate you?" My voice rose in pitch with each word.
He sighed, frustrated with himself…or perhaps with me. "Please, Bella. Don't take it as an insult. I'm just telling you that I love you more than you know. More than I can say. And I just can't imagine that anyone…especially someone as good as you…could see me in the same light I see you," he explained slowly, his eyes latched on mine. "So I want you to be happy, and if what makes you happy doesn't involve me, then I want you to leave. But if I can take any part in making you as happy as you can be, then please, please stay and let me. Let me love you. Forever." He stopped talking, then stared at me nervously, waiting for me to speak.
"Edward," I whispered, my voice catching on the beautiful word that defined a beautiful person. "You take the only part in making me as happy as I can be," I assured him with a small smile. He let out a long breath, smiled and then seemed to think of something.
"Bella, I…please don't get mad or offended or anything, okay?" he requested anxiously. I nodded. "I know that it'll be hard for you…adjusting to everything, but I'm not sure I can wait much longer without knowing if you're mine." He paused, then knelt and took one of my hands in both of his. "Will you marry me?" His voice broke with emotion and his eyes gleamed up at me, ready and waiting for rejection.
I opened my mouth, prepared to say no, to tell him again about my parents' short-lived, miserable marriage. But then I realized that it was inevitable. Him and I. As inevitable as rain in Forks. And there seemed to be no use in trying to delay it, or stop it. Because not only was it inevitable. It was meant to be.
And so, just as the cold, terrible word 'no' was about to leave my lips, I revised and said, "Yeah. Yeah, it looks like I will."
The smile Edward rewarded me with was absolutely radiant. He reached into his pocket swiftly to pull out a small metal object. I wasn't sure what it was at first, but then it dawned on me. "Whoa!" I shouted, shocked, as I jumped out of my seat and removed my hand from his. "I thought this was a spur-of-the-moment proposal," I objected. Edward's face fell.
"It was," he replied.
"Then why do you have a ring already?" I challenged.
"Esme saw it coming. About a month after we met, she gave me this. It was hers as a human. I've kept it with me ever since, because I…I was afraid the right moment would come and I wouldn't have it…Are you okay?" he added worriedly, seeing the look on my face.
"If she already knew, she probably told Carlisle, and Jasper and Alice knew, and so did Rosalie, most likely, and she could've told Emmett. How come you didn't want to tell your family if they already knew?" I asked him curiously.
"Well, they all knew, but they never acknowledged it. I didn't want them to start talking about it and freaking you out…Besides, Alice told me what you would do to try and get me to tell them…just the thought was irresistible." He grinned at the memory. Seconds later, his smile dropped and his eyes became very serious. "Will you wear it?" he asked me quietly.
I nodded, smiling. "Yes, Edward Cullen. I will wear your ring."
I know it's been a long time, but this chapter was longer than my others, I think.
I'm planning on doing one more chapter plus an epilogue to make it an even twenty.
Review if you have any ideas or comments or flames or criticism! Thanks so much.

Very good value!
Sandie S (Terrace )
Ordered this helmet, when I received it, it was way to big even though I went by their sizing chart., The helmet itself was just ugly. I promptly returned it.
Steve (Commack )
Brother in law was very satisfied with the quality.
Allen (Metolius )
I enjoy my Z1R helmet for its light weight snug fit and well ventilated . I wish they came with the drop down second visor like some helmets do though
sue Lapan (sheldon )
would like a Bigger sun vison
James (McGregor )
Good fit, feels good, nice jacket for riding or just wearing around. Haven't had it long enough to really test the durability hope to not test anything other than how long it lasts.

AanraderFantastisch geschreven inkijkje in een dictatoriaal regime, lot en toeval .... ik heb genoten. De wijze waarop de auteur het mogelijk maakt te begrijpen waarom omstandigheden je kunnen dwingen verschrikkelijke dingen te doen, is confronterend en invoelend. Ik zou het iedereen willen aanraden nu de polarisatie her en der de toon van het publiek debat bepaaltby Co on November 18, 2016
