Easyjet flight to Manchester forced to make emergency landing after engine is SHUT DOWN by bird strike
Bird strikes on an aircraft are rare but have the potential to cause explosions and loss of control
AN Easyjet flight travelling to Manchester Airport was forced to make an emergency landing after one of its engines was shut down by a trapped bird.
The Airbus A320 came into difficulties shortly after take-off from Copenhagen and had to return to the airport just 18 minutes later.
The emergency landing on June 11 was the result of a bird that had flown directly into the right engine, stopping the aircraft from continuing its ascent.
The engine was shut down as a safety measure and using only the left engine, the pilot safely returned to the departure airport in the Danish capital.
A spokesman for Easyjet told The Sun: "EasyJet confirms flight EZY1986 from Copenhagen to Manchester returned from airborne after one engine was damaged from a bird strike. The captain performed a routine landing in accordance with standard operating procedures.
"Passengers returned to the terminal whilst a replacement aircraft was sent from Berlin to operate the flight from Copenhagen to Manchester as engineers were investigating the original aircraft.
"The safety of its passengers and crew is easyJet's highest priority."
According to Aviation Herald, the flight was delayed by seven hours as passengers waited for another Airbus plane.
The damaged aircraft remained on the ground at Copenhagen for around 23 hours before it was taken to London Gatwick for servicing.
Once fixed and inspected, the Airbus was returned to service 12 hours later.
Bird strikes on aircrafts are an ongoing threat but it is rare for them to cause a major aviation accident or disaster.
One bird sucked into an engine can even go unnoticed until the aircraft has landed and is inspected by ground staff.
However, if a flock of birds were to fly into an engine, it could cause an explosion that could throw the aircraft off balance and the pilot could potentially lose control.
There are more than 13,000 bird strikes in the United States every year, but fatal bird strikes are extremely rare – occurring possibly once in every billion flying hours.

Angry Birds has been around for awhile and it has many versions, but despite this, it remains popular. It seems like Rovio is into milking this franchise for everything it can get. The company teased this image via their Twitter account with a caption that reads, "Who turned out the lights?".
As you can see, it is a pair of eyes with long flirty lashes. I think we can safely assume that it is a new female character they plan to introduce. But will it be one of the birds or one of the pigs? Maybe something new?
There's a good chance that she will be making her debut in the next Angry Birds Space update which will also introduce Mars as a playable planet. We will have more details soon.

Up-and-coming rapper Yung Bans has teamed up with D Savage, as well as GrowBoiTrap, for his latest single "Motherless Child." Produced by Sega and Jay Splash, the song features a heavy, bass-focused instrumental that provides a bleak backbone for lyrics about how it is coming from the streets. You play around with members of the wrong crowd and, as Yung Bans and his crew articulate, there's a good chance you're going to end up dead.
Yung Bans was previously seen on our site in his video for the track "Right Through You," which you can stream here. "Motherless Child" provides some raw, harrowing imagery conjured up by Bans' precise wording of his rhymes.
Quotable Lyrics
You got my money
Raw n****s so now I'm really tight
Bang with shot callers, hitters
They may just take your life.

Prolozone is a form of non-surgical ligament reconstruction that is often a permanent treatment for chronic pain. By repairing the connective tissue this is all that is needed to permanently reverse chronic pain.
Prolozone Therapy is an injection technique similar to prolotherapy that uses ozone. The use of ozone causes the joint to heal much more quickly than in traditional prolotherapy. This is because ozone is a highly reactive molecule and when injected into a joint capsule it is able to stimulate the fibroblastic joint repairing abilities. Prolozone is derived from the word ozone and the Latin word "proli" which means to regenerate or re-build. It literally means re-building tissues with ozone. To find out more Santafesoul/services.

If you can find a copy, as it is out of print, and if you've listened to Tull before, you'll notice from the first few seconds of the album that the majority of the instruments are synthesized. This creates a bit of an odd atmosphere, as the year WAS 1984, and synth was a little less advanced than now. Ian Anderson programmed a lot of the Moog synths, along with Peter-John Vettese (who looks a lot like a nerd in the band pic in the liner notes).

Sports ground safety certificates
The Safety of Sports Grounds Act 1975 requires an annual safety certificate for any sports ground where the capacity exceeds 10,000 (defined as designated grounds), or 5,000 in the case of Premier or Football League games.
The Fire Safety & Safety of Places of Sport Act 1987 requires any sports ground that has covered accommodation for more than 500 people to have an annual safety certificate for such a regulated stand. Special safety certificates may be needed for non-league football matches or other special events.
The following premises in Shropshire currently hold a safety certificate:
• Shrewsbury Town Football Club – (general safety certificate)
• Ludlow Racecourse – (regulated stand)
• New Saints Football Club, Oswestry – (regulated stands)
Safety advisory groups are established to discuss safety matters relating to the provisions of the safety certificate. In relation to the general safety certificate at Shrewsbury Town FC this is represented by the following council officers:
• Health Protection and Prevention Team manager – Matthew Aldridge (chairman)
• Public Protection officer
• Emergency Planning officer
• Building Control officer
Representations are also made from the following bodies on the Safety Advisory Group:
• West Mercia Police
• Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service
• West Midlands Ambulance Service
• Sports Grounds Safety Authority
• Shrewsbury Town FC
The legislation allows local authorities to recover the cost of the work reasonably, and to actually be involved in the processing of an application, amendment, replacement, transfer or cancellation of a safety certificate. The current fee for this is £59.90 per hour.
Annual inspections of sports grounds are carried out, together with additional visits on certain match days and at other times, either on request from the proprietor or in response to a service request from any of our other customers.

The Silent Village
|written by Slávka Kittová
On June 10th 1942, the Czechoslovakian village of Lidice, 20km north of Prague, was obliterated by the Nazis following the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich by the Czech resistance. Throughout the West, news of the atrocity was met with outrage that later inspired various acts of commemoration including poems, novels, symphonies and films. These memorials sought to come to terms with the total destruction of a village, a symbolic attempt to try to understand and remember what took place. However, a more immediate response came from within the British Government that turned to film as propaganda to reconstruct the horrific events as if they had taken place in mainland Britain.

new to this as of tonight so apologies if this has already been covered/answered.
My problem is probably my own fault - when I extended our bungalow 10 years ago - I didn't think a sleeper wall was necessary on the new extension (a span of roughly 3.4 metres)
The joists were 8x2 - and my thinking was this would therefore not need a sleeper wall.
However, my father-in-law said it would require one - and sad to say - I have been putting up with a bit of a springy/bouncy floor since.
I want to put laminate flooring down - and wondered if I should do anything to support the joists beforehand (will be a bit of a workup lifting the floor) - or is there an easier way (someone suggested unscrewing the T&G flooring sheets and glueing them before rescrewing them? thanks :(

Big move coming up? There's an app for that. Quite a few, actually. Before you make plans to pack up and go, get familiar with the following resources to get organized, cut moving costs and—most importantly—save time.
Here's the get-out-of-town tech resource rundown.
It's branded the "ultimate organizer app" for good reason. Sortly is the mobile solution to messy moving—and it's (mostly) free. This intuitive smartphone app offers users a way to keep a track of their belongings throughout the packing process. Add photos of important home inventory items, list the contents of each moving box and keep track of to-dos with a comprehensive moving checklist. Though it requires a 10-dollar upgrade, Sortly's most impressive feature allows you to generate and print unique QR code labels, then link them to the folders and items you've already recorded in the app. This way, with one quick scan, you'll know exactly what's inside that mystery moving box. There's also a handy search tool for locating specific items, which will save you from tearing through every unopened box in the house just to find your favorite coffee mug.
U-Haul Box Exchange
You've got stuff to pack. You need something to pack it all in. There are lots of places to find old boxes destined for the landfill, but before you go dumpster diving, check the U-Haul Box Exchange. This moderated message board allows movers from across the country to share information on where to find free moving materials by city, or to offer up boxes they no longer need. Plus, U-Haul keeps these messages up to date, so you won't be weeding through posts from decades past. Since the site's content is user-generated, there's no guarantee that there's an active thread for every city. But, hey, it's better than grabbing some grease-spattered cardboard from your local burger joint.
Can't quite cram your antique armoire into the moving truck? Or maybe that old futon would be a better addition to a college dorm room than your new house. Don't kick 'em to the curb quite yet. Check out Furnishly, a geo-based furniture exchange website that lets you list used pieces by city. Snap a picture, write a caption and post your piece to the site. When it's approved by the Furnishly support team, it'll be listed as a purchasable item. You know what they say: one mover's saggy loveseat is another's comfy couch? Something like that.
Gas Buddy
This free phone app uses your current location to report real-time fuel prices at nearby gas stations. It'll even recommend stops with the cheapest prices. Gas Buddy is an especially useful companion if you'll be filling up more than usual—whether you're trekking across the country or towing a heavy cargo trailer. If your phone's running low on storage space, simply have your shotgun rider browse the Gas Buddy mobile site while you're on the road.
Bonus: Phone Camera App
Yes, really. Your smartphone's default camera may not be as flashy as the other tech resources, but it's the secret to a smooth move. Before you start untangling wires and unplugging your home's large electronic devices, snap pictures of how they're set up. Save these photos in a special album, and use each picture as a diagram when it comes time to reassemble your TV, gaming console or desktop computer. A couple quick snaps before your move will make for a much easier installation process in your new home.

Earning Extra Cash to Improve Your Life
There are times when we could all use extra cash for life's emergencies, new tires for our car, a nagging medical bill, or new shoes for our kids. Most of us value our free time and don't want a second job to cope with these little life events. So let's explore alternative ways to earn extra cash and stay away from a second job.
Let's eBay Stuff!
The first and most flexible suggestion to earn money is to sell stuff on eBay! The real challenge is what to sell on ebay. You can start by selling items around the house that you no longer want or need. Children's clothes are a perfect starting point. However clothing is not a big cash generator and you will need to switch gears to get enough money to put tires on your car.
Once you get comfortable selling stuff on eBay it is time to go to step two, sourcing items from garage sales. Garage sales are an excellent source of items to resell on eBay. You want to focus on items where you can make at least $40 a transaction. This makes it worth your time to list the item and take it to the post office. Look for items that are almost new or in the original box. A smart phone can be a big help in this venture, use it for looking up eBay listings of the garage sale item you want to buy. This gives you a good idea of what price you can sell the garage sale item for before you buy it. My recent example is a pool lounge chair. I bought the chair at a garage sale in the original box for $20. I sold it on eBay seven days later for $87. Overall I made $50 after I paid for shipping. Not bad for fifteen minutes of work.
What To Do When It Is Not Garage Sale Season?
Craigslist and Backpage are great sources of items to sell on ebay. People often list items that they just want to get rid of, and you can capitalize on this mind set. Keep your eyes out for small items that ship cheaply, unique niche items are a good choice. I recently bought a fifteen pound chunk of beeswax for $15. I placed the item on ebay for $80 with free shipping, at the end of that deal I was up $45.
Craigslist and Backpage items can also be resold on the same site. Items on the free page are a good place to start. These items disappear fast but if you hurry, you can pick up free items near your home to relist for a few dollars. Generally, the items are not high margin, but if they are close to your house it doesn't take much effort. Pick up the free item, give it a good cleaning or a fresh coat of paint and you are ready to relist the item. Be sure to take pictures of your item and write an upbeat description. List the item for less than similar selling items. A good ad and some paint will turn free garage cabinets into $40.
Goodwill is a great place to find items to resell on ebay. It is best to focus on a niche, such as designer jeans or collectable nick knacks. Here a little research on your smart phone can pay off. Verify the item you are buying are reselling for a reasonable profit. I recently picked up some Bose speakers for $30 at Goodwill. They are selling for $260 on ebay. These were a great resell item with only moderately high shipping.
The holiday season provides more alternatives to make extra cash. If you are willing to face the crowds on Black Friday, pick up a few extra items to sell on Craigslist or ebay the next morning. Not everyone likes facing the madness and they will pay well for your bargains. You can even recruit family members into making this a big haul for you.
The last big opportunity as you head into the Christmas season is buying the next "got to have it" toys. The high demand makes these items increase in value rapidly and If you can't sell them you can return them to the store so there is no risk.
Now you have a few tips to make some cash without a second job, I hope you can take advantage of them. Best of Luck.

Homelessnesss – The Xmas Present No-one Wants
An increasing number of families in the North East are facing homelessness this winter, according to the latest statistics.
Calls to charity Shelter have increased by 12% since last year, and the number of people in the North East who called the Shelter helpline from 2012 to 2013 reached 2,490, the equivalent of more than 200 callers per month.
The charity say the figures reflect the growing number of people struggling to cope with the rising costs of living coupled with stagnating wages, and expect more families will find it increasingly difficult to keep a roof over their heads, especially as bills mount in the run-up to Christmas.
Shelter helpline adviser Liz Clare said the Christmas period is the most difficult time of year for her and colleagues. :
"The threat of homelessness is devastating at any time of year, but it seems to get worse around Christmas as the strains of the holidays close in and the weather gets cold.
"One Christmas Eve I answered a call from a mum with a disabled son. They were evicted from their home that night and had to sleep on the streets in the cold. We managed to find them a place to stay, but I'll never forget the devastation in her voice. The sad fact is that eviction notices can come at any time of year. "
"I've never seen the helpline as busy as it has been this year."
Jeremy Cripps, the chief executive of charity Children North East warned the figures could also increase following Christmas as people struggle to cope with the costs of the festive period and fall into arrears.
"What we have noticed is that a high proportion of families are there because of rent arrears or because their homes have been repossessed because of missed mortgage payments."

Zimbabwe 211 for 7 (Chigumbura 52*, Lyon 4-44) beat Australia 209 for 9 (Clarke 68*) by three wickets
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
In the 30th ODI meeting between these sides, Zimbabwe did what they had not for 31 years and beat Australia. The captain Elton Chigumbura engineered the chase that changed 11,406 days of history, after his spinners had applied a stranglehold that kept Australia to their lowest total against Zimbabwe, and achieved only their second win against these opponents.
Chigumbura's opposite number, Michael Clarke, battled a hamstring niggle that ruled him out of the rest of the tri-series, and held his side together on a spin-friendly surface on which none of the other Australian batsmen settled. But Zimbabwe's challenge was always going to be chasing a total over 200 - they were dismissed for less in their last four ODIs - and when Nathan Lyon picked up career-best figures and they were reduced to 156 for 7, another collapse seemed likely. A 55-run stand between Chigumbura and Prosper Utseya for the eighth wicket ensured Zimbabwe did not fold and sent Harare Sports Club into frenzied celebration.
The dancing in the stands had begun in the morning when Zimbabwe reduced Australia to 39 for 3. John Nyumbu bowled Aaron Finch, Prosper Utseya had Phillip Hughes caught at slip, and Sean Williams bowled George Bailey to give Zimbabwe early control.
Clarke was still there but needed a partner to rebuild and could not find one in Glenn Maxwell, despite him being the recipient of the first of five let-offs from Zimbabwe. Maxwell was on 13 when he edged Malcolm Waller as he tried to drive but Brendan Taylor could not hold on. Fortunately for Zimbabwe, Waller bowled him with his next delivery to ensure no harm was done from that missed chance.
They could not say the same about all the others. Mitchell Marsh had not scored when he flicked Nyumbu to short leg but Tino Mawoyo put down the chance. Marsh added 40 runs with Clarke, although he only contributed 15. Brad Haddin should have been out on 5 but Waller dropped a return catch from a top-edge, on 14 when Chatara fluffed a chance in his follow-through, and on 17 when Chatara put down an easier opportunity at short fine leg.
Amid all of that, Clarke brought up his 50 off 80 balls, but left the field on 68 in the 43rd over because of hamstring trouble. That gave Zimbabwe the opening they wanted and they stormed through. Utseya had James Faulkner caught at slip off the first ball he faced and Williams bowled Mitchell Starc through the gate in the next over to leave Australia 150 for 7.
Only Cutting's cameo at No. 10, Haddin's 49, and Chigumbura using seamers at the end instead of spinners took Australia over 200, but this time it was not enough, especially because their attack was without Mitchell Johnson, who was rested.
Zimbabwe had not made such a total in their last four ODIs but that changed because they got a better start today. Tino Mawoyo and Sikandar Raza delivered the best opening partnership of the last eight matches through patience and application.
They waited until the third over before taking their first run and Raza reined in his usual aggressive instincts as much as he could. He could not resist if anything was too short or too full but he got away with it until Australia introduced spin in the 12th over. Lyon's second legitimate delivery turned sharply from outside off into Raza, who was surprised by extra bounce as he tried to cut and handed first slip a catch. In his next over Lyon got rid of Mawoyo too.
Those wickets brought Zimbabwe's most experienced batting pair, Hamilton Masakadza and Taylor, together. Taylor swept with confidence and the pair negotiated flight and turn from both Lyon and Maxwell. They were separated only when Clarke, who returned to lead in the 19th over, brought Starc back. He fired one in full and fast to cut Masakadza in half and end the third-wicket stand on 56.
Seven deliveries later, Taylor went forward to a loopy ball from Lyon that snuck between bat and pad to hit off-stump, but it was only when Sean Williams was caught at slip to give Lyon career-best figures of 4 for 44 that Zimbabwe were in danger of unraveling. They teetered on 102 for 5 and Lyon still had 26 balls to bowl.
Chigumbura eased concerns with two fours off Lyon to suggest Zimbabwe were far from done. Waller helped to see Lyon off, though it meant defending rather than looking for runs. His 11 came off 39 balls and when he handed Maxwell a return catch, Chigumbura was left with the tail.
Donald Tiripano was dismissed for 3 but Prosper Utseya was not anywhere. He sliced Starc through point for his first runs and showed he was willing to move the score along to take pressure off his captain.
Zimbabwe entered the last ten overs needing 44 to win and Chigumbura and Utseya hunted them down in calculated fashion. Chigumbura's finishing skills shone through when he guided Marsh to third man, but he largely concentrated on rotating strike and letting Utseya take risks. With the field spread, the pair did not have to take too many, apart from when Utseya cleared mid-on off a Faulkner length ball.
Chigunbura's 50 came off 61 balls with a punch through point and took Zimbabwe within 15 runs of victory. Even as they got closer, Chigumbura did not get over-ambitious and maintained a level head. Utseya struck the winning blow - a smoke over midwicket - with two overs to spare and gave Zimbabwe an outside chance of making the tri-series final.

A newcomer to the U.S. market, South Korea–based Global Hauri has introduced its trilingual ViRobot Expert 4.5, an easy-to-use, flexible antivirus package that will soon include spyware defense. ViRobot is a resource-thrifty scanner that lets you do a full scan quickly while you work. Scheduled scan and update wizards make it easy to keep your PC clean and your antivirus protection up to date. But testing by PC Magazine Labs and independent labs (Hauri has garnered only one pass and five fails on the VB 100% awards) reveals that ViRobot's virus detection needs improvement.
Like Norton AntiVirus, ViRobot has a single control panel to view status, scan hard drives, configure options, and perform updates. ViRobot's elegant interface is easy to understand, despite some odd label language, and you can quickly switch from English to Korean or Japanese. ViRobot's tree structure lets you drill down and scan at the whole computer, drive, or folder level. You can right-click on the menus to scan from Windows Explorer, and unlike with other products here, you can turn this off in the configuration.
ViRobot's e-mail support is more detailed than that of any product we reviewed. It's the only program that lets you limit virus scanning to specified e-mail folders—a feature more often found in mail server virus scanners. ViRobot also adds icons in your Outlook (but not Outlook Express) client for scanning, configuration, monitoring, and help.
Though ViRobot aced our performance tests (see www.pcmag.com/antivirus) with less than 0.5 percent slowdown, speed isn't everything: It had a hard time detecting some well-known viruses within nonexecutable files, and its history on independent labs testing is less than stellar (see page 126). The company explained that unless a file is in executable form, it isn't really a virus. While that may be true, we'd prefer to see the scanner detect all viral code wherever it lurks, as VirusScan and NAV do. ViRobot also overlooked a backdoor Trojan horse program we inadvertently downloaded and installed during testing. But it performed well at finding and cleaning infected Microsoft Office files.
ViRobot is easy to set up, with flexible configuration, but its default settings were not as protective as McAfee's and Norton's, scanning only Office and executable files with the real-time scanner. By the time you read this, the software will include scanning for spyware and adware, but the feature wasn't ready for us at the time of testing. Though it's still catching up with the rest of the pack on detection and security of default settings, ViRobot is ahead with its clean interface, fast scanning, and low resource use, making it a product to watch.

Are you looking for Owner Financed Land?
Landmodo.com is the place to search for owner financed land for sale. Owning financing is available on the majority of the properties listed for sale here.
Our selling partners are land investors and because they own the land outright, they are able to sell the land with these owner financed terms.
Since there are no banks involved when you purchase lots directly from the seller, you really don't need to worry about credit checks or employment verifications with owner financed land.
While we have a great selection of land that can be owner financed, not every property on the platform is available for financing.
Here are a number of questions that you might have about this process.
How does owner financed land work?
It's really quite simple. Here a short guide to help you:
- The seller determines the down payment and the monthly payment amounts.
- You make the down payment.
- The seller will create the required documents and you will sign them electronically.
- Once signed, you can start enjoying your land.
It really is that simple. One a recent Facebook Live video, I spoke with a land seller about how simple the process really is. Click here to watch the video (the conversation I'm referencing starts around the 1 minute, 50 seconds mark).
Can you build on my owner financed land?
Great question, that is really up to your seller. Since the seller still owns the land until you pay it off, it's really up to them. Most will not have an issue if you want to build or access the land.
Most land sellers will allow you to access the property and use it while you are making monthly payments.
However since the seller is functioning as the bank in this transaction, it really is up to them. Each seller will have their own view of the risk.
If you have questions you are encouraged to speak to your seller directly about how they handle this aspect of the agreement.
What Documents are used in this type of Transaction?
Typically the seller will prepare 3 types of documents, a Land Sale Contract, a Promissory Note and a Purchase Sale Agreement.
The Purchase Sale Agreement obligates the seller to sell and the buyer to buy. The Promissory note says that the buyer will pay the seller for the land, it's a promise to pay. The Land Sale Contract is the document that secures the transaction and ensures that the buyer will receive clean title at the completion of the payments.

aka 1551 Sansom Street [Google Maps]
We Have Sold Condos Here
Also known as 1551 Sansom Street, these condos in Philadelphia have large rooms, hardwood floors, many windows,
all in a bright and sunny building! Elevator opens into your home, which includes high end kitchens, bedrooms with
wall to wall carpet plus large master baths, some with Jacuzzi tubs! Storage in basement of this converted piece
of Philadelphia real estate. Most who are looking to buy real estate in Philly are surprised by the amount of
light that each living room is afforded. Located in the 19103 area of town, these condos at 16th and Samson Streets
are an affordable option for those seeking an urban type of lifestyle. Rittenhouse Square Park is just a few blocks
away, as is the Avenue of the Arts, and Suburban train station!
What a condo owner at 117 S. 16th St. says about the building:
HS Says:
"Love that the elevator opens directly into our apartment. Love the large windows with plenty of natural light in the main living space. Love the small community of neighbors who really look out for one another. And who can't LOVE the location?!"
Additional Information:
Five Fast Facts about 1551 Sansom St. Condos:
1) 117 S. 16th St. condos are all flats
2) Elevator opens directly into the condos
3) First floor condo is a Dunkin Donuts
4) Actual entrance is at 1551 Sansom St.
5) All condos are corner units with lots of windows
117 S. 16th St. Condos- My Experience and Two Cents
I really like 117 S. 16th St. (aka 1551 Samson) due to the fact that it really is the only condo building like it in the 19102 zip code. Just one unit per floor...the first floor has a Dunkin Donuts- Nothing wrong with that!! :-) There is storage in the basement for all units- Not a lot, just enough. All the condos in the building have the same footprint and are the same size. One bedroom, one and a half bath condos that all have a TON of windows. All condos are corner units and have south and west exposures. This is a cement structure building that was probably built as a very small office building originally. Managed by David Fineman- who I believe is the best in the business. Reasonable condo fees and the elevator opens directly into each unit- which is kinda' cool. I have sold and resold one unit in the building and each buyer loves their little gem- Again...I think the lack of substitute properties west of Broad St. makes 117 S. 16th St. condos a real winner. Buy one if you can find one...but good luck with that as they so rarely come on the market!
For more information on 117 South 16th Street Condos call Mark Wade at 215-521-1523 or email Mark.

Uncovering The Facts: Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
"Does Laser hair removal work?" She asked us. We all had seen her get out of her car and slowly walk into the office. As she came to the reception area we had seen she had thick black eyebrows and dark hair over her upper lip and on her chin. Oh dear, what should we tell her?
"The truth is, dear, it does work well in certain places of your body for some people." I said. "Here are the facts we have researched."
The Decision – Laser hair removal are treatments done in a series, in the hopes for long-term hair removal. The laser heats the hair follicle at its base to destroy and prevent re-growth. Some people experience little pain (it is similar to plucking out hair), however others find it very painful. Can you answer, "Does laser hair removal work for me?" Perhaps, but your expectations have to be right.
Cost is often a factor as it can wind up costing thousands of dollars, depending where you are having the laser hair removal done. Does laser hair removal work if it is not affordable and insurance does not cover it (unless it is done for a medical condition)? That is something you need to decide for yourself.
The Consultation – The Doctor and patient (yes, this is a medical procedure), discuss how well the treatment will work on their skin type and hair. There will be talks about the risks and benefits. The darker the skin, the lighter the skin will be when finished. The paler the skin, the darker it will be when completed. The Doctor usually recommends that prospective patients let their tan fade naturally before beginning treatments. Hair that is darker appears to be actually growing back quicker, but it is actually the hair growing from other follicles. So what do you think - does laser hair removal work?
The Laser Hair Removal Treatment – The assistant will make sure there are no residues from a lotion, cosmetic, or cream on the skin where the laser treatment will be done. This is because the chemicals in these products can hinder the hair removal process. Subsequently, gel is applied as a conductor to the area being treated. Gel also can help cool the skin as the laser is applied. With new technology, does laser hair removal work; is it safer and more effective? Many people still find laser hair removal does not work well for them and is very painful. Others say yes!
After Laser Hair Removal – Often repeated sessions (from three to eight sessions) are necessary over a period of a few months to a year to keep an area hair-free. These sessions often feel like they will last forever; they can be like shaving in frequency, only more painful and far more expensive because hair grows from different follicles at different times.
Now you have heard the facts. What do you think? Does laser hair removal work for you or would you rather pass and let someone else go through it?

What is a Plume Poppy?
A plume poppy is a large, herbaceous perennial plant native to China, Japan, and South East Asia. Used as an ornamental, the plume poppy is valued for its lush leaves; its tall, striking flower stalks; and its ability to thrive in a variety of soil conditions. Once established, the plume poppy requires little additional care. The scientific name for this popular ornamental is Macleaya cordata; it is a member of the Papaveraceae, or poppy, family.
The plume poppy grows from 5 feet to 8 feet (1.5 m to 2.5 m) tall and from 2 feet to 4 feet (.6 m to 1.2 m) wide. Large leaves are gray to olive-green with delicately scalloped edges. In the summer, tall, 12-inch (30 cm) flower stalks rise above the lush foliage, creating a pale pink and creamy white plume-like effect. The flower stalks, once dried and removed from the plant, are used in dried arrangements. Removing the flower stalks before the seeds emerge will prevent the plant from self-seeding.
Temperate climates provide the best growing conditions. In areas where summers remain cool, the plume poppy will thrive in full sun. Where summers are hot, a location that gets partial shade is preferred. The plume poppy is hardy in areas where winter temperatures remain above 5 degrees Fahrenheit (-15 C). The foliage and flower stalks die back when winter temperatures drop below freezing, and the dead stalks should be cut back to the ground in late winter or early spring.
The foliage of the plume poppy is lush from the bottom of the plant to just below the flower plumes, making this ornamental suitable as a specimen plant or in the foreground of a shrub bed. The neutral, lush foliage also can be used as a backdrop for other ornamental shrubs. The plume poppy is less suitable in a flowerbed or as a border plant around shallow-rooted annuals, because of the aggressive, spreading nature of the rhizome root system. To prevent spreading, individual plants should be potted in plastic pots and sunk into the ground, level with the soil.
Division of the rhizome is the easiest way to propagate the plume poppy. The rhizomes are dug in the early spring and divided into sections, each containing at least one "eye" where the new shoot will emerge. Seeds are collected in the fall and sown in the spring. For reliable germination, seeds should be sown in a greenhouse or cold frame.

New Feature: Find Out Which Movies Are Most Liked by Facebook Users; "Ted" Has More Likes Than "The Dark Knight Rises"
Studios have been creating Facebook pages for each of their movies and marketing those pages on their marketing materials. What they're after are our "likes." We thought it might be interesting to track the number of "likes" a movie's Facebook page receives on a daily basis, so we're launching a new feature called the Popcorn Index, in which the "likes" is just one of the components. It's part of the header menu after "Industry News." Now, we can slice and dice the figures to come up with social media trends for the movie industry.
We started tracking Facebook pages for movies that opened since May 10th, so if one wants, one can browse through each daily chart all the way back to beginning of the summer movie season. Lots of big movies have opened since then: "Marvel's The Avengers," "Ted," and "The Dark Knight Rises" just to name a few. How do they stack up in terms of the number of likes? Before we get into that, let's do a brief explanation of the features on the charts.
Each chart has seven columns:
- RNK: today's rank
- YDA: yesterday's rank
- Movie Title: click on it for a history of daily likes added for that title
- Today: likes added today
- Yesterday: likes added yesterday
- Change: from yesterday to today
- Total Likes
Each of those columns can be sorted in descending or ascending order by clicking on their links. The default is ascending, but clicking on it again will reverse the sorting order.
Sequels tend to use the same Facebook page to take advantage of the number of existing users who have already liked one of the films. All three Twilight films use the same Facebook page (which has already accumulated about 35M likes). Ditto for "The Expendables 2" and "Step Up: Revolution." Why create another page and start from scratch when you've already accumulated millions of existing users?
It's a similar deal for "Katy Perry: Part of Me." Katy Perry just converted her page to market the film. She already has about 46M fans on Facebook, so why start from scratch by creating another page?
Both instances make sense from a marketing point of view, but makes tracking the popularity of those films tricky. It makes those films seem way more popular than they actually are.
Just be aware of these two issues when you browse the charts. The Katy Perry movie isn't really that popular.
I think the first thing that people want to know is if they can predict the opening weekend box office by looking at these figures. The short answer is no, but it's another data point box office analysts can use. It may be stating the obvious to say that, generally speaking, popular films tend to have the most total likes.
I've also noticed that there are spikes when there's a big news regarding a particular film. For instance, "The Hobbit" jumped all the way from 40th to 3rd on July 26th in the daily rankings when it was announced that a third film was planned.
If we exclude "Katy Perry" and "Twilight" because of the exceptions mentioned above, then "Titanic" is, by far, the film with the most "likes" ($27.7M) of films released in recent months. Remember "Titanic" was re-released in April of this year. That makes sense since "Titanic" is the second highest-grossing film of all time in the U.S. What about "Avatar," the top-grossing film of all time? We're not tracking it because it's not a recent release. If we were tracking it, then it would be number one with about 33M likes.
In terms of the number of daily "likes" added, "Titanic" used to rule the charts until recently. "The Dark Knight Rises" was tops for a week since it opened on July 20th. For some reason, "Ted" ended "The Dark Knight Rises" reign and started dominating the charts since July 31st.
So there you have it. More charts for film fans who like numbers. Check it out and let us know what you think. We're open to suggestions.

Are there community concerns about policing in Ann Arbor that could be effectively addressed by some form of police oversight?
Lack of Transparency + External Review
The job of [public safety] is incredibly complex. The sheer number of tasks a [first responder] is required to not only perform but perform well is enormous and sometimes requires contradictory skill sets. Additionally, first responders tend to have contact with people on [short notice]. Due to the nature of the work [first responders] perform, and the conditions they perform it under, much of it must remain [monitored closely]. Supervisors and first responders should always be in a state of self examination to determine if there are areas where they can be more transparent.
The Nov. '15 HRC report states that "to file a complaint against an Ann Arbor police officer, the complainant must give it to an AAPD police officer." The AAPD is committed to investigating all complaints about department members. Complaints are taken in person, by phone, or in writing (paper and electronically). They can be made by someone involved in the incident, an uninvolved bystander, an intermediary, or anonymously. Baird admits to have had personally initiated complaints against unknown employees for information posted on social media sites. [Filed complaints are processed and investigated.]
The HRC's report also provides some limited statistics regarding the complaints received by the Department. This information is useful to frame the prevalence of concern about police conduct in [Ann Arbor proper].
In an effort to provide a greater context to the statistics in the report, the personnel complaints for the police department were reviewed for both 2014 and 2015. The statistics are remarkably similar from one year to the next.
For perspective, it is important to understand the scope of contact between law enforcement and residents of the community.
In 2014, the Ann Arbor Police Department had nearly 64,000 calls for service. In 2015, there were over 62,000 calls for service. Calls for service numbers include dispatched calls, police reports, traffic stops, etc. Those numbers do not include all the additional citizen contacts an officer may make during the day, which could range into the thousands if football games, Art Fair, and other high volume events are included.
When viewed in this context, the number of citizen complaints received is negligible. In 2014 the Ann Arbor Police Department had a total of 65 personnel complaints. In 2015, the total was 63. Both years, approximately half of those complaints were internal complaints, initiated by police department supervisors against [law enforcement personnel]. Many of those internal complaints (14 in 2014 and 19 in 2015) relate to at fault automobile crashes which result in damage. Department policy mandates a personnel complaint be initiated for all at fault employee crashes.
However, if analyzing the complaints in conjunction with the recommendation of a civilian review board, the complaints made by citizens against police officers are most significant. In 2014, 38 citizen complaints were brought against police officers. Ten of those complaints were found to be sustained following the investigation. It is also important to recognize that four of those complaints were made against the same officer, Jason Kitts, who resigned during the investigation of the complaints. In 2015, there were only 30 citizen complaints, with three being sustained.
Recognizing that even one sustained complaint of misconduct by law enforcement is too many, it is important to understand that improper police behavior, like that of Officer Kitts, results in discipline and discharge when appropriate. Beyond what has been stated, it is difficult to respond specifically to this section of the commission's report as much of it speaks of hypothetical possibilities only. The report states,
"…may be disinclined to speak out," "may fear their attempt to help will get them in trouble…with the police," "may have reason to doubt the likelihood that any engagement with police will be beneficial," "may be reluctant to speak," "may hesitate to file complaints against police,' "complaint process may not help."
If this was true, it would absolutely warrant a closer look. However, there is nothing in the HRC report to suggest that this is the case (per usual).

Yoga Rolls Out on White House Lawn
photographs by Jan Hanus
Despite cool morning temperatures that finally gave way to sun, yogis happily unrolled their mats on the White House lawn yesterday to take part in the 135th annual White House Easter Egg Roll.
Yoga teacher Leah Cullis has organized the event's Yoga Garden, with classes for kids and adults, since 2009.
In addition to yoga, the Easter Roll, which this year was themed "Be Healthy, Be Active, Be You!" in promotion of First Lady Michelle Obama's initiative to reduce childhood obesity, included a variety of physical activities, such as the Hop To It! dance party and the Eggtivity Zone Obstacle Course.
With up to 30,000 participants each year, the Egg Roll is the biggest public annual event at the White House each year.
Although this isn't the first year the Egg Roll has featured a Yoga Garden, the news hasn't come without criticism. In discussing the event, Fox News anchors said yoga "doesn't seem very American" and once again reminded its audience that yoga is not a sport.
Whatever. We wish we had been there.
Check out the adorable photos from the event by Jan Hanus.

Gallbladder Surgery (Cholecystectomy)
A gallbladder attack can be both frightening and painful experiences, which often occur at night, usually send people to the emergency room with pain and nausea feeling like serious indigestion. Sometimes, the pain radiates through the shoulder blade area. The pain can be constant or can come and go, and it can be sharp or dull. If the tests show gallstones or other gallbladder problems, most patients will opt for surgery to rid themselves of this pain. Your experienced and knowledgeable surgeons at WakeMed Physician Practices - General Surgery are very proficient at gallbladder surgery and will guide you through the decision-making process to get you feeling like yourself right away.
What is gallbladder surgery?
Your gallbladder can be removed through open (traditional) surgery, or more commonly, using a laparascope, which has a faster recovery time. The formal name is a cholecystectomy, and it is considered a routine surgical procedure.
The gallbladder is a small organ found just above the liver, in the right side of the abdomen. Its role is to help digest fat. Sometimes, gallstones form which can block passage of bile to the liver and cause intense pain. An ultrasound is used to find out if you have gallstones. If you do, surgery is the only way to remove them because they will not go away by themselves or with medication. Another reason for taking out the gallbladder is that it's simply not functioning correctly, which also can cause pain and infection.
During traditional surgery, the surgeon will make a long incision (5-8 inches) in your abdomen, starting just below your ribs on the right side, to just below your waist. The gallbladder is removed through this cut.
What is laparascopic gallbladder removal?
The newer and more frequently used method is a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, also known as minimally invasive surgery. Using this method, your surgeon will make several small incisions, perhaps three or four, and insert a laparoscope and tiny surgical tools to remove the gallbladder. A laparascope is a small, thin tube with a camera on the tip that sends magnified images to a computer monitor that looks like a television screen; your surgeon uses this screen and the tools to gently lift your gallbladder out through one of the small incisions. A special x-ray, with dye, shows if any stones are still in the bile duct. If so, the surgeon will take them out along with the gallbladder.
The benefit of this surgery is that you will have less pain and bleeding, and far less scarring than with open surgery. This surgery is most frequently performed as outpatient surgery, which means you can go home that same day for a faster recovery. You will be given pain medication and monitored for infection, but will be encouraged to return to a normal diet and regular activities as soon as possible.
Consulting with your experienced surgeons at WakeMed Physician Practices - General Surgery will help you make the best decision about gallbladder surgery, which will get you back to your normal way of life and daily routine in no time.

St. Mary's Pulmonary Rehabilitation is a national leader in helping patients with COPD. The program is among a select few in the country to receive disease-specific certification from the Joint Commission for excellence in patient treatment and care.
COPD stands for chronic obstructed pulmonary disease. This is a lung condition that causes symptoms such as coughing and shortness of breath during daily activities. The primary cause of COPD is cigarette smoking although it can be caused by other environmental irritants.
The benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation can be seen by anyone who has been diagnosed with a lung disease or condition that is limiting his or her ability to perform daily activities such as walking, bathing, eating and doing household chores.
St. Mary's smoking cessation program offers:
Enrollment is just $25.

Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
What kind of food is served at a masquerade party or ball?
By Auntyb
I would think finger foods/hor d'oeuvres, something easy to pick up and eat for those people with masks or lots of make up. Cheese and summer sausage on crackers is what I would start with. Various cheeses in cube form with tooth picks. Those little sausages you keep in a slow cooker and eat with toothpicks. Vegetable platter with a couple dips would be good as well.
ThriftyFun is one of the longest running frugal living communities on the Internet. These are archives of older discussions.
At my school I am part of a club and this club is wanting to gain awareness in the community so we are planning to throw a masquerade ball. I was put in charge of food, but sadly I am completely lost. I have no idea what kinds of food are eaten at these types of events. I am also on a very tight budget. So if anyone has any ideas please feel free to share.
Walter from Chillicothe, OH
Masquerade or Mardi Gras? Mardi Gras (festival before Lent, best known in LA). For Mardi Gras you could do a lot of red beans and rice, seafood gumbo (if you're on the coast of VA) sausage and chicken gumbo if you're not. This is assuming it's not just chip and dip snacks. Masquerade, I'd go with lots of dessert pastries with powdered sugar and then some casserole that will feed a lot at not much cost (meat and pasta, etc.). See if you can find someone that knows how to make cream puff/eclair (choux paste) dough and make a lot of very small ones. Google masquerade foods. (02/16/2009)
Finger foods, anything that people can eat with one hand from a little teeny plate while circulating. It helps if you can find things that don't shed a lot of dust/crumbs (biscuits and other floured-before-baking foods are probably a bad call).
Chips and dip are never a bad idea; buy the largest bags possible, with an eye towards unit price, and get generic colas (and don't forget diet colas, for weight watching folks and diabetics). Also, it would be responsible to provide a couple of fresh veggie trays. You can get bags of pre-cut baby carrots, broccoli, celery, and cauliflower for relatively low prices, and arrange them with a dish of Ranch dressing in the middle.
I don't know exactly what your budget is or how many people will be attending, but I know two things that will help you. (1) It's "easiest" to buy foods that are small already, like cocktail wieners and mini-quiches and bite-sized pizza rolls. (2) It's "cheapest" to buy foods that are larger, prepare them yourself, and cut them down to hors d'oeuvre size (perhaps with a small vegetable cutter).
Enlist the help of some students for a food preparation party before the main event, so you don't have to do all the work yourself. Also ask around and find out if party goers would be willing to supplement your budget by bringing additional chips, dip, and drinks with them. I doubt it, but hey, stranger things have happened. (02/17/2009)
By Chayil
One inexperienced person in charge of food? That's a disaster waiting to happen. I strongly suggest that you enlist the help of a teacher, maybe someone from the home ec department (?). It sounds like a great home ec project for a few willing volunteers, and you'll get credit for great delegation, and coordinating really good food ; ) (02/24/2009)
By U*u*U
I'm not sure if you mean a Halloween-type of menu, but if you do I have a couple of tested recipes for party appetizers. I always get great reviews.
Deviled Eye-balls:
Oh, I would have silver dishes piled with pears and grapes dusted with powdered sugar. Cream puffs for desert are as elegant as fairy cakes. Try Quiche, croissants and souffle. Okay, this is getting very French. Maybe BBQ chicken would fit in. Maybe, biscotti or empanadas. Try a sparkling cider punch in a huge bowl with floating rose flowers in it. You could make pumpkin soup with white pumpkin and pine nuts. I would get a big bunch of cook books from the library if I were you. Have fun!

Leadership is Being a Good Listener
Leadership is being a good listener. A good leader seeks to listen to what the people she/he is serving want. What are there goals? What are their visions? What are their dreams? What are they expecting from the leader? Listening to them allows a leader to strategize and come up with action plans to help people achieve their life goals and dreams.
Have a happy Sunday!

Irish soda farls are so quick and easy to make that they're the perfect food to whip up for your lazy weekend breakfast. They can be eaten with butter and jam, accompanied with a cup of hot tea or you can simply add them to your full Irish breakfast (which I highly recommend!) for your ultimate Irish food experience.
Serves 4
8oz plain flour
1tsp bicarbonate of soda
⅔ cup buttermilk
½ tsp salt
- Sift the flour, salt and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl.
- Make a well in the centre.
- Gradually add the buttermilk, a small amount at a time until the mixture holds together but making sure it's not too wet.
- Remove from the bowl, place on floured surface and knead the mixture very briefly for approximately 30 seconds. Tip: Be careful not to over knead the mixture as it may become too tough.
- Shape the gently kneaded mixture into a ball shape, flatten into a circle approximately ⅓ inch thick and divide into 8 pieces. Sprinkle a small amount of flour on each side.
- Heat a skillet to a medium heat, fry the floured soda farls on each side for around 7-8 minutes.
- Serve with fried egg or Irish sausages and white pudding.

In the conduct of this WRAS, Anne Arundel and Prince George's Counties worked
closely with State staff to collect existing information and develop a watershed characterization, and to field assess current stream habitat conditions, fish and aquatic invertebrate communities, and baseflow nutrient concentrations and loading rates. Additionally, the WRAS Partners (Anne Arundel and Prince George's Counties, and Maryland DNR) undertook public participation activities to ascertain the perceived issues and assets associated with the Upper Patuxent River watershed. The urban land within this watershed was also reviewed and assessed for the potential to retrofit or implement environmentally sensitive, low impact, development techniques that will address and reduce nonpoint source pollution from site runoff. From the existing information and current assessments, the WRAS Partners developed the Basin Condition Score, a methodology to prioritize subwatersheds for restoration and/or protection activities based on differences in ecological conditions (e.g., water quality, habitat conditions, land uses).
Based upon the work described above, a total of 63 restoration projects were identified in the Upper Patuxent River Watershed in Anne Arundel County. Excess stream erosion was the most frequently observed problem, followed by fish barriers and trash dumps. Habitat restoration project needs were observed in all watersheds assessed except for a subwatershed contained on the Patuxent Research Refuge.

Field Application of a Method to Determine the Feasibility and Potential Benefits of Implementing Low Impact Development Techniques and Retrofitting
Convential Storm Water Practices in Developed Areas
The Upper Patuxent River Watershed is located in northeastern Prince George's County and western Anne Arundel County. The main stem of the river forms the boundary between the counties of Prince George's and Anne Arundel. The watershed has a drainage area of 88 square miles, with 52 square miles in Prince George's County. In the State's 1998 Unified Watershed Assessment, the Upper Patuxent was listed as a Category 1 Priority Watershed when it failed two of the five water quality indicators. Watershed landscape indicators of water quality that had
poor scores included percent of impervious surface, population density, soil erodibility, benthic index of biotic integrity, in-stream habitat and imperiled aquatics species indicator. All these watershed indicators can be directly correlated with urban and transportation corridor-related development.
To address the identified water quality issues, Prince George's and Anne Arundel Counties developed a Watershed Restoration Action Strategy (WRAS) proposal for the Upper Patuxent River. The Counties proposed to develop a plan to target areas for the development of potential storm water management sites. Implementation of the plan will help mitigate the effects of uncontrolled runoff to the Patuxent River through the use of innovative and environmentally-sensitive development techniques and state-of-the-art storm water management practices. Targeting of the mitigation efforts will be based on stream corridor, biological and water quality assessments. These assessments will help to identify stream reaches in need of physical rehabilitation and provide needed information to be used in the prioritization of stream rehabilitation projects.

My first ever poetic duet. I hope you all enjoy it.
In a relationship that may have been doomed from the start,
I handed you the remote control to my heart
Because even without rings, in my dreams you would sing
The song of til death do us part
When in actuality in reality you chose to set the DVR
And said you'd get back to loving me later
To outsiders it appeared that we were on the same channel
People watched us and became envious
But they had no idea that we were stuck on the same station
Replaying the same episodes
Rewinding old outcomes and never celebrating
Because our series was seemingly cancelled
And yet I still waited, though I often contemplated
That our first step toward a future of forevers, would never take place
Even with the proof that Cupid is known for playing favorites
I held on, convinced that because I had waited for so long
Your heart would soon return from its extended hiatus,
Catch up to mine before it ran out of memory
And forgot what real love felt like
Then like a flash of lightning it struck me all at once
We were headed for syndication, with only one episode left
I extended my hand for the controls I gave you
Only to find you had sat the remote down a long time ago
With nothing left to hold on to, there was but one thing to do
Take a bow, bid farewell and recapture what initially belonged to me
And with the remaining shards of my heart still visible on my sleeves,
I slowly step back into the blackness of this new reality,
And as the credits roll I still hear that song from my dreams, and I bid you adieu,
With hopes that no one is ever chosen to replay these roles,
And their hearts are never pained from being exposed
To this same script, with them as the different cast.
