Mysterious ‘booms’ heard around San Diego County
“Was there an earthquake that made that big boom at 3:15 p.m.?” Nancy Whitaker posted on Facebook.
Santee residents reported seeing a large glowing ball in the western sky.
“I automatically thought it was a earthquake, my car started moving back & forth in Imperial Beach!” Laura Reynolds said.
“Are we having an earthquake? Our sliders won’t stop shaking, but my chair isn’t moving and it’s not wind,” a Coronado resident posted to social media.
“I heard it here on the Strand, but didn’t feel anything. Sounded like 2 loud bangs, I thought it was thunder. I am curious what it could have been,” another Coronado resident posted.
USGS did not detect an earthquake in San Diego County during that time. a

Trumpland.. the infrastructure list revealed..The document...
Trumpland.. the infrastructure list revealed..
The document obtained by the Star proposes funding the projects as public-private partnerships, with half the money coming from private investment.
The Trump team put together the priority list of “Emergency & National Security Projects,” a senior congressional aide said. It includes cost estimates and job impact numbers.
It is not clear whether that document is a draft or a final version. The National Governors Association circulated a similar list, which had been compiled by the transition team, as a spreadsheet among state officials in December, requesting further suggestions. All but two projects on both lists are the same.
Some projects that governors suggested — in California and Washington state in particular — do not yet appear on either list.
The governors’ association has received 43 responses from states and territories so far, said Elena Waskey, a spokeswoman for the association.

Trump unleashed! expected to order temporary ban on refugees
….FANS READY TO BE HIT WEDNESDAY
President Donald Trump is expected to sign executive orders starting on Wednesday that include a temporary ban on most refugees and a suspension of visas for citizens of Syria and six other Middle Eastern and African countries, according to several congressional aides and immigration experts briefed on the matter.
Trump, who tweeted on Tuesday night that a “big day” was planned on national security on Wednesday, is expected to order a multi-month ban on allowing refugees into the United States except for religious minorities escaping persecution, until more aggressive vetting is in place.
Another order will block visas being issued to anyone from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, said the aides and experts, who asked not to be identified.
In his tweet late on Tuesday, Trump said: “Big day planned on NATIONAL SECURITY tomorrow. Among many other things, we will build the wall!”

Missouri company snags the Schuylkill Mall!
New management!
Out with the old!
...in with the new... But what is the future?
This is a press release to persons within the mall ..
The winning bidder was Northpoint Development LLC for $2.1 million and the assumption of the leases for A&A Auto Parts, Total Renal Care, Big Lots, McDonald’s, Holiday Inn Express and Cracker Barrel. Northpoint will also maintain Bon Ton’s rights under their ground lease agreement. They will allow rejection of all leases by the trustee pursuant to the bankruptcy code.
This bid is subject to a hearing and approval by the United States Bankruptcy Court For the Middle District of Pennsylvania, which is scheduled a hearing tomorrow. If approved by the court, closing is to take place by February 24.
The death of the mall? Or a new birth.. time will tell..
But for now, we can tell this about the new ownership of the mall from their own website..
We believe we have an obligation to give back to the community through charitable efforts and, as a token of our appreciation to those who have helped us succeed, we will pay it forward.
The relationships with our customers, employees, and investors are our most valuable assets. We will strive to always take care of each other and to operate our business so that we maintain our culture of appreciation, respect, transparency, and we shall avoid office politics.
We also know this about Northpoint.. the development company has also recently purchased Highridge properties in Minersville.. They spent $28 mil, as a matter of fact, on two parcels in Highridge late 2015..
In January 2017, just days ago, it was reported that chew.com company based in Dania Beach, Fla., will lease an 800,000-square-foot distribution center that NorthPoint is developing on a 172-acre site in Hanover Township near Wilkes-Barre.. NorthPoint acquired the site, which was remediated after being scarred by coal mining, for $15 million in September.
In 2014, the Kansas City Missouri went nation when it launched big industrial and apartment projects..
The company also made national headlines in 2016 when it considered a $32 million facility in Indiana ..

Just a few days ago, Kansas City BUSINESS JOURNAL reported that the company's developments were 'taking off like rockets' ..
Northpoint apparently has 'found a friend in Pennsylvania.' And now the future of the Schuylkill Mall is in their hands..

As one Nor’Easter ends.. watch out or this..
Models are starting to show a dynamic upper level trough that enters the Eastern Great Lakes, dives to the Mid Atlantic states and moves northeastward from there spawning an East Coast snowstorm around January 29 or so…
Right now the models are southeast of the region with snowfall, but the trends have been to sharpen the trough up more and more and then bring the storm closer to the coastline. New England is favored over Washington DC.
all up in the air.. Worth watching..

This is the ultimate insult to injury.. Plants vs Zombies Garden...
This is the ultimate insult to injury.. Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 has fast become my son’s favorite game.. and somewhat mine. But lately it’s been awful, just awful.. Every time the game gets good, we get booted. And this annoying “unable to connect to EA servers” warning comes up.
I am curious if anyone else had the same issue? I know there are ‘fixes’ online–all of which thus far have yet to ‘fix’ the issue for us..
It’s getting painful, though..
If anyone out there has a real true fix to the problem, please send it to me.. let me know.. Until then, the plants and zombies fight without me or Ayden helping..
