Lower Prices Have Spurred Home Sales, but Looming Foreclosures and High Unemployment Are Clouding the Outlook
The U.S. housing market has been in a slump for the past four years. When will it ever end? In recent years, real estate has proven as jittery and unreliable as any other market. The average U.S.home price nearly doubled between January 2000 and April 2006, according to the First American Loan Performance index. Since then, the average has fallen about 30%. The drop has been 53% in the Las Vegas metropolitan area and 39% in Miami, where about a quarter of all households with mortgages are behind on their payments or in foreclosure. The value of your home might be determined more by whether the neighbors keep their jobs than whether the house has ample light and closet space.Here is a guide to navigating a fractured and volatile market:

In this article, we will review the airline customer service changes of 2016-2017, describe the state of social media support for pissed airline customers, and shed the light on the most breakthrough scandals with airlines customer mistreatment. So, let's go!
The past two years have been very busy for the airline industry. We saw both successful moves and annoying airline mistakes, which inevitably led to complaints. To understand more so that to not repeat mistakes and to make air travel a bit more comfortable, we gathered here information about the most significant events of these two years and European vs American airlines reviews. Analyze, compare, draw conclusions!
Two years ago, airlines only began to actively develop more effective ways of responding to customer complaints, namely using social networks for this. In general, the level of air carrier's service is now determined not only by the quality of the services provided, but also by the speed of the company's response in difficult situations. Once users have got access to the social networks and can instantly inform companies of their omissions. Airlines have lost the ability to blame technical reasons in answering delays. That's why air carriers compete with one another in social media. Each carrier tries to attract more public attention, solve customer complaints quicker, and thus win more trust. To see how these steps changed the services, start reading our story!
2016: The Beginning of Airlines Rises and Falls
Positive moments and major changes
In general, the year started well for airlines. In many respects, this was due to the fact that the market for air travel grew rapidly in the USA and throughout the world. Just imagine, in 2016 the biggest US air carriers enplaned approximately 801,254,637 passengers that is 1,520 passengers per minute. J.D. Power rating claimed that this year North American airlines reviews satisfaction rate climbed to a 10-year high on improved in-flight services. Also, low-cost gained increasing popularity among users of airlines.
As for the response time, Conversocial.com generated airlines media statistics showed that the US leader was Alaska Airlines, and the EU Leader was Lufthansa. The previous year's leader, JetBlue (6 minutes), was only the second in 2016. Other airlines decreased the response time slightly (Delta - from 17 minutes to 8 minutes, JetBlue - from 6 minutes to 5 minutes) or significantly (United - from 4 hours to 2 hours 10 minutes, Southwest Airlines - from nearly 7,5 hours to 10 minutes).
Response time in 2015, according to thepointsguy.com:
The Other Side: Troubles and Conflicts
The U.S. Department of Transportation statistics showed that the number of airline service complaints went down 17.7 percent from March 2015 and down 5.0 percent from February 2016. Still, there were complaints on cancellations, delays, mishandled baggage, animals incidents, and improper passenger treatment. A large share of complaints and discussions was via Twitter and other social networks. According to www.airlinecomplaints.org, American Airlines reviews topped the compliant charts, followed by United Airlines complaints, Delta Airlines complaints and Southwest to follow.
Then we can see Spirit airlines reviews, JetBlue, Alaska and others. Flight disruptions (cancellations and delays) were the most discussed and complained about.
Concerning crucial incidents, there were several of them. The most notable included:
- JetBlue's turbulent ride. JetBlue was mixed up in the incidents too. 22 passengers and two crew members were taken to hospital after a flight experienced rough turbulence on August 12, 2016.
- Emirates plane on fire. Passengers escaped after an Emirates plane burst into flames August 3, 2016, at Dubai International Airport. 13 passengers suffered minor injuries when the plane crashed after landing.
- Southwest and Delta disruptions. Delta Airlines reviews and Southwest Airlines reviews were also gloomed by a huge crash of computer systems. Hundreds of flights were to be canceled or delayed. This created lots of buzz around the airport systems malfunction, which could have affected the lives of hundreds of passengers, and the necessity to pay more attention to security.
2017: Things Getting Serious
News and Breakthroughs
As expected, the growth of the influence of the industry continued its growth. Worldwide air travel industry has expanded by 7.2%. The Alaska Airlines customer care team won Best in Airline Customer Service in the SimpliFlying Awards 2017 for Excellence in Social Media, while WestJet won Best in Airline in Social Media. In addition, the experience of the past years taught the airlines to be more attentive to the security of their systems. We can say that security has become a trend this year, and should have accelerated the growth of service quality. However, the story went on a slightly different scenario; read further to get to know why.
"Madly" Spring and the Rest of 2017
In Spring of 2017, there were many incidents unpleasantly surprising the public and sharply changing the direction of dynamics. The total number of airline complaints not only stopped to decrease but in fact increased, in comparison with the previous two years. New data from the U.S. Department of Transportation showed a 70 percent spike in complaints by passengers compared to April 2016. For fliers (especially U.S. ones and those who submitted Lufthansa complaints), it was an angry spring.
The airlines themselves didn't comment on the reasons that could have led to such a sharp decline. Among the most frequently discussed problems of 2017 (in social networks) are flight cancellations, delays, baggage issues (Lufthansa customer complaints), problems with ticketing and boarding (Spirit Airlines reviews), poor customer service (Southwest Airlines Reviews), and fare concerns. In addition, dissatisfied reviews about rude treatment, lack of responsibility, refuse to refund (Delta Airlines reviews) and agents not telling the truth also began to appear.
The following airline complaints were widely covered both in social networks and in the media, and caused a serious public outcry:
- Forcing the customer off the plane. United dragged a random passenger out of his seat when he hadn't volunteered to fly at another time. Due to the United's own mistake, a ticket that was sold to this person should have been reserved for the airplane's staff. When the customer refused to make room for United employees they violently removed him. The person's face was bloodied out of this incident.
- A scorpion stung a passenger. In April, a scorpion fell from an overhead bin and stung the passenger at a mid-flight. Fortunately, the stings were not life-threatening.
- Airline employees killed a golden retriever. One of the most shocking United Airlines complaints was from a woman, who decided to transport her dog via airlines, but when she saw her pet after numerous delays the dog was nearly at death. Literally few hours later, the dog was gone. The cause of death was a stomach flip, which occurs when blood flow to the internal organs is cut off.
- Girls were banned from a flight for wearing leggings. United Airlines complaints were so various in 2017: the flight attendant insisted on passengers' changing the clothes to be allowed to board the plane. However, later United made an announce that these girls were pass travelers (United employees relatives) admitted to the flight for free but with expectations to wear no "form-fitting" spandex pants.
- A Muslim woman was denied a soda because she could "use it as a weapon". Yes, this was the formulation why the woman was refused a sealed bottle of cola. At the same time, her neighbor was given a sealed can of beer.
- The latest cases of pissing customers off: Lufthansa customer complaints. A fashion blogger had a problem as valuable things were stolen from her luggage. She described the case on her Instagram account. The Lufthansa complaints story attracted the society's attention, and users asked Pissed Consumer to help her.
In turn, we contacted sent Lufthansa both via email and in our Twitter account. The company has left only one message, describing the actions that have already been taken by the user. After that, we asked them for help many times but they continued to ignore.
Unfortunately, the spring did not end the series of incidents with passengers. Here are just some of the airline complaints that triggered the reaction of Pissed Consumer users:
- A family was forced to leave the overbooked Delta flight - Pissed Consumer users were furious!
- Computer outage caused collapse at Heathrow and Gatwick airports - users were joking they picked an English accent while in Heathrow:)
- Delta flight accident, when water started falling from the ceiling onto passengers - people wonder how these guys can stay positive in such a situation.
- United forced a woman to give up her son's paid seat - users say United is "shameless".
- Family with three kids was forced off JetBlue flight - another sore incident.
Everyone can run into problems with airlines. We at Pissed Consumer always try to help users find a way out of difficult situations. First of all, read our article "How to Complain about an Airline". If you need additional help, please do not hesitate to share your problem with us.

Earlier this year, our Director of Citizenship, Philip Gamble, was in South Africa holding free-to-attend seminars for South Africans interested in claiming British citizenship. At the seminar held in Johannesburg, an audience member had a particularly interesting case.
A query came from a gentleman named James, whose mother, Annabelle, had previously been married to a British man (his father had been born in the UK).
This previous marriage had taken place before 1949, when Annabelle had married a man, Heathcliff, whose father, George, had been born in the UK. In 1947, Annabelle and Heathcliff had a daughter, Jenny, but the marriage didn't last and shortly after Jenny's birth Heathcliff and Annabelle divorced.
Here's what the family tree looked like after the divorce:
Annabelle remarried a man named Christopher some years later, and from that marriage her son, James, was born in 1955. James, of course, was the man who stood up and ask Philip if he had any claim to British citizenship.
Now here's what the family looked like after Annabelle's second marriage and James' birth:
Based on the diagram above, and the scenario we've just described, you'd be forgiven for thinking James had no realistic claim. Not so! James is eligible for British citizenship because of a bizarre quirk of British citizenship law. Because he was born after 1949, he was able to inherit his British citizenship from his mother, who had inherited it from her former father-in-law, George.
It looks something like this:
But consider poor old Jenny, who was born in 1947. She's not eligible to inherit this citizenship from her paternal grandfather! But her half-sibling, who has no bloodline to her UK-born grandfather, can claim!

Solario is willing to take the time to assist you in making informed decisions and will help you answer the question "is bankruptcy right for me?"
Insightful legal counsel is vital in deciding on the most appropriate resolution to your financial situation. Accurately weighing the benefits to bankruptcy and its alternatives along with their full ramifications is the only way of successfully discharging your debt or getting your finances back under control. Our firm has helped hundreds of clients with these matters and a diverse range of legal needs. They can also assist with matters involving collection defense, foreclosure defense and tax negotiation.
The firm consistently provides zealous advocacy for their clients' best interests. When you work with us you will always consult directly with an attorney, never a paralegal or secretary. Our extensive experience with bankruptcies, has allowed us to achieve an in-depth knowledge of bankruptcy law and its court proceedings. If you are considering filing for bankruptcy, consult with an attorney at the firm, who can provide sound advice, vigorous representation and great compassion and understanding of your needs.
Bankruptcy, whether a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, can provide the opportunity you need to finally end the daily stress you have been enduring and make a fresh start with your financial situation. Your attorney can conduct a means test to determine if you qualify and could advise you on the matters of bankruptcy exemptions and filing jointly. Depending on your specific financial circumstances, it may benefit you to consider one of the many alternatives to bankruptcy.
Alternatives to Bankruptcy:
Not everyone is able to qualify for bankruptcy, and bankruptcy may not be the best options for those who do qualify. Instead, you could pursue loan modification, debt settlement, debt consolidation, a short sale, or deed in lieu in order to avoid bankruptcy while getting your finances in order. Loan modification is one of the most common options and allows you to modify the terms of your debt so that it is more suitable to your budget. Debt settlement involves negotiating with the lender in an effort to persuade them to accept a lump sum payment that is less than the amount owed in exchange for forgiving the remainder of the loan.

Information About Bankruptcy

If you are experiencing this struggle yourself, a very effective method of partially or fully disposing of your debt can be found in bankruptcy. The Law Offices of Priscilla C. Solario can assist you in swiftly determining if bankruptcy is the right choice for your particular debt situation.

Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami denounced the security strategies that outsiders have formulated for the region, making a reference to a US-led military coalition that has been "managing terrorists" in the name of war against Daesh (ISIL).
"We believe that the region's security solutions must be devised inside the region," the Iranian defense minister told reporters upon his arrival in Moscow on Tuesday.
Foreign-made security strategies are "unrealistic, unachievable and unacceptable", because the outsiders have no understanding of the regional crises and their interests do not match those of the regional nations, the general added.
Pointing to the crisis in Syria, he said the axis of resistance -backed by Russia- launched a genuine war against terrorism that led to the defeat of Daesh, while the US-led coalition behaved "selectively" and supported terrorists whenever necessary.
As regards the purpose of his visit to Moscow, the Iranian minister said he would meet Russian officials for talks on military interaction as well as regional and international cooperation.
Tehran and Moscow have overcome the past mistrust and have shaped close bilateral relations, he added.
Heading a military delegation, the Iranian minister has travelled to Russia to attend an international security conference.
Iran and Russia have formed a strong alliance in recent years, with both supporting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's legitimate government against foreign-backed militancy.
In August 2016, Iran let Russian fighter jets use its Nojeh military airbase for missions in Syria.

The remote island of Thengar Char disappears completely under about 1m of water at high tide and has no roads or flood defenses, but that has not stopped the Bangladeshi government from proposing to relocate thousands of Rohingya refugees living in camps in the southeastern district of Cox's Bazar — which borders Myanmar — to its marshy shores.
Bangladesh said last month it was looking to move about 32,000 registered refugees, in part because they were hampering tourism in the coastal resort district — home to the world's longest unbroken beach.
The proposal has been met with alarm from leaders of the Rohingya, who began arriving more than two decades ago after fleeing persecution in Myanmar, and whose desperate search for a secure homeland has been thrown into the spotlight by a regional smuggling crisis.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees, which has been helping them since 1992, said a move would be "logistically challenging" — an assessment confirmed by a recent visit to the area by reporters.
Police on the neighboring island of Hatiya prevented the boat reporters were traveling on from going to Thengar Char, saying they could not guarantee its safety.
However, accounts from local people and a forest department official who oversaw the 2011 planting of mangroves on Thengar Char gave an indication of the challenges.
"At high tide the entire island is under three to four feet [0.9m to 1.2m] of water," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"It is impossible to live there," he said, comparing the plan to "compelling a guest to sit on a spiked chair after inviting him to your home."
Low-lying Thengar Char, about 30km east of Hatiya Island, only emerged from the sea about eight years ago and does not appear on Google Maps.
The 4,050 hectare island is administered from Hatiya, which has a population of 600,000, but local boat operators told reporters they rarely go there.
Such a journey would in any case be impossible during the monsoon months of June to September, when the seas are perilous — and the island would be completely cut off.
The island, about two hours away from the mainland by speedboat, is in an area frequently hit by typhoons, which have killed thousands of people in Hatiya and Bangladesh's southern coast.
Hatiya's top government official A.H.M. Moyeenuddin said the island had been chosen by a team of government surveyors dispatched to the area on the orders of Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
He admitted that relocating thousands of people to the island would be challenging, but said the construction of typhoon shelters, a barrage and a hospital would be enough to "make the place liveable."
Hatiya Police chief Nurul Huda declared it an "ideal place for Rohingya relocation" — even though it is "isolated and frequented by pirates."
"All we need is a police station to maintain law and order," he told reporters.
However, residents of Hatiya remain unconvinced by the proposal.
"We are already tired of Bengali pirates and river erosion. We don't want our peace disrupted any further," said Abdul Halim, who took part in a recent protest by scores of islanders.

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant became the second-youngest player in NBA history to reach 20,000 points on Wednesday.
Durant achieved the feat against the Los Angeles Clippers – second only to Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James.
With two-time MVP Stephen Curry (ankle) and Klay Thompson (rest) out of the line-up, Durant was forced to lead the offensive attack, scoring 25 points in the first half.
Durant – last season's NBA Finals MVP – did most of his damage with the Oklahoma City Thunder, but has been scoring at an impressive rate since joining the Warriors in 2016.
Most impressively, he reached the feat at the second-youngest age despite having elite scorers surrounding him on almost every team he has ever been on throughout his career.
Only 44 players have reached 20,000 points in NBA history.

dual functional nature of TAGLN2-G-actin polymerization and Arp2/3 complex inhibition-may account for the mechanisms of filopodia development at the edge of Arp2/3-rich lamellipodia in various cell types
These results revealed a novel function of TAGLN2 as a molecular armament required for host defense.
transgelin-2 may also be involved in IS stability in B-cells, thereby influencing T-cell function
All these results indicated a crucial role for Tagln2 in TECs for tumor development and metastasis.
A novel function of TAGLN2 in enhancing T cell responses by controlling actin stability at the immunological synapse.
The results indicate that miR-133b may play important roles in the growth and maturation of oocytes by regulating its potential target, TAGLN2, at both transcription and translation levels.
we demonstrate that methylation of SM22alpha promoter is an important event in vascular smooth muscle cell calcification and that high phosphate induces this epigenetic modification.
data demonstrate that SM22beta is a novel actin-associated protein with a unique cell lineage-restricted pattern of expression
TAGLN 2 overexpression in HeLa cells could inhibit cell viability, migration and invasion, and it was suggested that this may occur via upregulation of the expression levels of E cadherin and inhibitor of nuclear factor kappalightchainenhancer of activated B cells (NFkappaB) (IkappaB), and downregulation of C XC chemokine receptor type 4, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2, MMP9, p50 and transcription factor p65.
Authors found transgelin-2 expression was induced by KRAS mutation. In the case of KRAS mutation, ERK2 interacted with 29-31 amino acids of transgelin-2 and subsequently phosphorylated the S145 residue of transgelin-2.
Study provides important evidence that hypoxia-inducible TAGLN2 is involved in the selection of cancer cells with enhanced EMT properties to overcome the detrimental environment of cancer cells as gamma radiation.
Results show that Increased expression of TAGLN2 is associated with increasing tumor grade in glioma and poor patient survival. Knockdown experiments highlighted the function of TAGLN2 in promoting glioma cell invasion, the EMT phenotype, and tumor growth.
Our data support a novel mechanism in diabetes-associated PDAC by which transgelin-2 mediates proliferation of PDAC cells upon insulin stimulation.
Results suggest that TAGLN2 might regulate activation and migration of B-cells, in particular, the entry of activated B-cells into the follicle.
we reviewed the basic characteristics and function of Transgelin-2 and its biological role in various types of diseases in order to provide the theoretical basis for further research and new perspectives on cancer development.
Our data demonstrated that TAGLN2 might be an HBx induced positive host factor involved in HBV transcription and replication and HBx related liver fibrosis and tumorigenesis
Transgelin-2 plays functional roles in the progression of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Suppression of Transgelin-2 may be a new strategy for the treatment of cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
It is a target gene of miR-1.
Salvianolic acid A can reverse the paclitaxel resistance and inhibit the migration and invasion abilities of human breast cancer cells by down-regulating the expression of transgelin 2.
Proteomics result showed TAGLN2 as the most significant overexpression in individual bladder cancer tissues and urine specimens, and thus represents a potential biomarker for noninvasive screening for bladder cancer.
TAGLN2 modulates hypoxia-induced apoptosis via caspase-8 apoptotic pathway. Taken together, our data demonstrated the roles of miR-133a in hypoxia-induced apoptotic and implicate its potential in cardiac dysfunctions therapy.
Transgelin-2, a sequence homolog of transgelin, whose role in the tumor development might be contradictory to the role of transgelin.
PTTG1 and TAGLN2 are highly expressed in human pancreatic cancer, and the positive expression of PTTG1 is associated with the gender of cancer patients, suggesting that it may represent a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of pancreatic cancer
our data propose a novel, oncogene-tumor suppressor interplay, where oncogenic PFTK1 confers HCC cell motility through inactivating the actin-binding motile suppressing function of TAGLN2 via phosphorylation.
Data indicate that TAGLN2 may have an oncogenic function and may be regulated by miR-1, a tumor suppressive miRNA in HNSCC.
in pulmonary adenocarcinoma, overexpression of TAGLN was strictly localized to the tumor-induced reactive myofibroblastic stromal tissue compartment, whereas overexpression of TAGLN2 was exclusively localized to the neoplastic glandular compartment
The protein encoded by this gene is similar to the protein transgelin, which is one of the earliest markers of differentiated smooth muscle. The specific function of this protein has not yet been determined, although it is thought to be a tumor suppressor. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Hi everyone! I thought I would share a quick review with you because I picked up this lipstick on a whim a while ago, and absolutely loved it from the get-go. It's the Maybelline Matte Lipstick in 665, 'Lust for Blush.'
I've been really into matte lipsticks lately, but the problem with matte formulas is that they tend to be cakey and drying. This lipstick, however, goes on smoothly and doesn't seem to be very drying. There are many, many different colors from this specific lipstick line, but I am in love with this color. It's different from any lipstick I've ever tried, but it's exactly what I have been looking for. It's a raspberry toned mauve that looks especially nice on light skin tones. You could almost get away with calling it a nude, as it is extremely natural looking once it is on your lips. I wrote a review about Essence's Lipstick in 03, 'Come Naturally,' and said that it was almost what I was looking for – a nude-mauve color. This fits the bill even better, as Come Naturally was a touch too light for what I was looking for. However, it's a beautiful nude and I highly recommend anyone with a fair skin tone to try it! It's very hard to find a nude for fair skin that doesn't make you look dead (am I right?!), and Come Naturally is perfect for that. You can read my review here. Back to Maybelline, Lust for Blush is in the same color family as Come Naturally but is a good 2 shades darker. It's especially beautiful for spring. As it is from a drugstore brand, it is very reasonably priced, I believe I spent about $6.50 on mine. I will be trying more colors from this line as the formula is perfect!
You may want to purchase this lipstick if:
- You are looking for a non-drying matte lipstick.
- You want an inexpensive product.
- You are not looking for a 24 hr lipstick, because this is not – it will wear off throughout the day.
- You want to choose from a wide variety of colors or are looking for a medium toned raspberry mauve.
Isn't it a beautiful color? I think so. Hope you try it out and love it as much as I do!
Have you tried this product? If so, how did you like it? Do you prefer matte, satin, or gloss finishes? Do you like Maybelline's lip products? Let me know in the comments!

One of the most powerful models out there with a suction capacity enough to handle all kinds of dirt and debris. Offers easy controls via a couple of buttons on the body of the device.
The replaceable bags are quite pricey.
A well-rounded vacuum that may cost you a bit above the average but the quality it offers is more than worth the price. The cleaning radius is quite wide, the capacious bags won't fill up too fast and won't tear after a couple uses, and the suction power is high to tackle all kinds of cleanups without hassle. Great choice if you're ready to invest in the quality.

While being one of the most compact and lightweight Canister Vacuum cleaners out there the Vax AWC01 doesn't seem to lack in the suction power and delivers great on all flooring types. If you aren't bothered by having to empty its dust bin quite often, this hoover should win over you with its exceptional manoeuvrability and fair price.

It's a bit noisy during operation but it's one of the most affordable vacuums you could find and it doesn't compromise one bit as far as quality concerned. A good choice for a thrifty shopper.

Miele Complete C3 PowerLine
Cleaning with Comfort
Home reflects your personality and inner world, and if you want to be inspired and have the desire to go back to it, it has to be clean. The problem is, cleanups can be quite time-consuming, and removing dirt from certain surfaces can be a real challenge. Luckily, the Miele Complete C3 PowerLine Canister Vacuum cleaner can solve this problem for you and become your reliable weapon against dust, spills, and dry debris.
The Miele Complete C3 PowerLine boasts a long telescopic tube which can be extended as much as needed depending on the area you need to clean. This allows cleaning in hard-to-reach places, such as between and underneath furniture with ease. This also helps reduce the stress on the lower part of the back which will come in handy if you or your family member has problems with back. The length of the tube allows you to keep your spine straight so you do not need to bend and strain your back.
In addition to the long hose and tube, the Miele Complete C3 PowerLine boasts a good bunch of accessories that allow cleaning in tight spaces. One of them is a crevice tool which, as you can infer from the name, allows reaching in tiny nooks and crevices of floors and furniture. Another one is an upholstery nozzle that makes it easy to keep soft furnishings and car interior clean. We'd highly recommend not ignoring this type of cleanup as sofas and mattresses tend to collect the most amount of dust and microbes than you could imagine.
Good Things Come in Small Packages
Though the Miele Complete C3 PowerLine seems an average model, don't let its looks fool you. With the suction power of 890 W, this vac can destroy just about any type of dirt with ease. Even the deepest rug will eave to its pressure, should you go over it a couple times. Of course, you won't need to use that kind of power all the time. The good news is, the Miele Complete C3 PowerLine has several speed options which you can regulate with the buttons on the body. The cleanup, however, doesn't end when you suck up dirt, right? As you'd expect from a top-notch vacuum cleaner, the Miele Complete C3 PowerLine then filters the waste and dumps it into a collection bag so you can throw it later, it has a generously-sized 4.5-l dust cup and AirClean filter. What this also means is that you won't need to empty it too often. For greater convenience, the vac features an indicator which visually informs when the dust cup is full. Speaking of which, the dust cup needs occasional replacement which some users might consider as a disadvantage seeing that these cups aren't very cheap. On the other hand, this is the price you should be willing to pay when quality, efficiency, and a great level of performance are your priority, as the Miele Complete C3 fits these three to a tee. It packs plenty of power, it's durable, and it provides a wide cleaning radius.

Numatic Henry Turbo HVT160
Adorable Design
Henry sets new standards in the cleaning industry producing both cute and effective vacuum cleaners, and the Numatic HVT160 is the bright example. The first word that will come to your mind when you see it will probably be "adorable". And yes, it looks truly adorable. We dare say, this is one of the cutest vacuums you can find on the market today.
However, besides the admittedly sweet design, this cleaner has quite a lot to offer in terms of cleaning efficiency. While you may not be impressed by the 620-Watt suction power, it's more than enough to suck the dirt out of low-pile carpets and pick up food spills and other debris from hard floors. Sure, it's not the best option for deep vacuuming of high-pile rugs but if your house is not decked out in those, we see no reasons why not to try the Numatic.
Bigger Capacity, Better Filtration
Thanks to the Henry's Powerful Turbo Airo Brush, the vacuum glides over carpets, easily picking up even stubborn hairs from fibres, leaving not a single speck behind. This makes the cleaner ideal for households with pets that believe their mission is to shed hairs everywhere in your house. And owing to a versatile tool set the vac comes with, you'll be able to get to any point in your house including corners and areas behind furniture.
Although the Numatic cleaner may seem like a tiny thing, it is rather hefty with a weight of 7.5 kilos. This is, however, easily justified by an extra-large 6-litre collection bag that you won't need to change frequently. That is to say, the collection bags boast an advanced HepaFlo Filtration system. Each bag is made with three layers of material increasing filtration and an innovative self-seal tab locking the dust in the bag. So, no dust will be able to escape back into the air.

Vax AWC01
Compact Dust Destroyer
Many of the more effective vacuum cleaners tend to be bulky, taking up a lot of storage space and banging into furniture when you try to maneuver them around the room. Thankfully, the Vax AWC01 Power 3 is a compact and lightweight exception to the rule.
Good design is easy to spot by the lack of unnecessary details, especially in appliances. So it's safe to say the Vax vacuum is extremely well-designed. The whole vacuum is basically just the wheels to roll around, the canister to store dirt and dust, and the long hose to reach all over the room. It's a simple yet elegant and effective device and not just because of the minimalistic design.
The vacuum comes with several attachments for more efficient cleaning, including crevice and upholstery nozzles. While the former will help you get rid of dirt in corners and under furniture, the latter is going to keep the bed you sleep on free of dust mites and allergens. These two nozzles are coupled with a special dusting brush for light cleaning of delicate surfaces and a combination floor head that's equally effective on carpets, tile, wood, and any other flooring type. The nozzles are especially useful thanks to the 800 W suction power, enough to get any sticky debris out without resorting to manually picking things up.
Puts Dust Through the Wringer
The Vax AWC01 Power 3 is easy to move around thanks to the low 4.3 kg weight and the wheels but, just in case there's no room for the vacuum to roll by on its own, you can use the integrated carry handle to, well, carry it around. While we're on the subject of nifty little features, you can rewind the power cord using your feet. Just step on the little pedal and the cable will get wound back without you having to bend down. This is doubly convenient since the cord itself is quite long at 5 meters, enough to move around the room freely but not too long so as to get tangled in furniture legs.
We also can't fault the HEPA filter, a staple of many high-end vacuums and a great bonus for people with allergies. This particular filter type uses three barriers to prevent dust and debris from escaping back into the air, guaranteeing a pretty much 100% rate of filtration.
However, we are a bit apprehensive about the quality of some of the Vax AWC01's parts. For example, the hose isn't affixed to the body of the vacuum all that well and we wouldn't recommend tugging on it too hard if you don't want to end up with a broken device. Also, while the container is easy to clean, it would be nice if it was bigger than 2.2 L. That kind of capacity means you have to empty it out after every use, wasting time in the process.
Still, the Vax AWC01 is more than the sum of its parts and it's sure to get your home squeaky clean and look good in the process. It's a well-designed bagless Canister Vacuum that's comparatively quiet and one of the most compact models we've seen before.

Deik Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner
A Quiet and Lightweight Model
One particular complaint that's always brought up when talking about vacuums is how loud they can get. Sure, you don't have them on for that long but the noise can get really grating and if you can find a quiet model like the Deik Cylinder why not take advantage of it?
This bagless Canister Vacuum might not run silently but it's certainly quiet enough to be better than the competition. But the low noise level isn't the only thing that the Deik Cylinder has going for it. For example, it has a pretty powerful motor providing 800 W of suction, very impressive for a model this quiet.
The Deik Cylinder is also one of the lightest vacuums out there at a mere 3.6 kg owing to the small 1.3 L canister and a slim body. While it's understandable that some customers might prefer a more capacious canister over the low weight of the device, we feel that the choice is a smart one as the less heavy the vacuum is the easier it is to maneuver around the room.
Plus, the Deik Cylinder comes with all the little things that you usually look for in a Canister Vacuum such as wheels, a carry handle, and automatic cord rewind. They may not be the most important standout features but they do make life easier and speed up the cleaning process substantially.
No Microbe Left Standing
While a vacuum's main goal is to suck up dirt, you have to make sure that the debris that has gotten inside the device stays there for good and doesn't get expelled back into the air of your home. That's why it's important to have a good filtration system in your canister vacuum such as the 4 level filter in the Deik Cylinder. This four-tier system traps 99.9% of dust and allergens like pet fur, dust mites, and pollen. You can't truly say your home is clean unless your vacuum has a powerful filter like this.
We are a bit disappointed by the wheels design as the Deik Cylinder seems to have trouble moving on deeper rugs, getting stuck quite often. However, the flexible hose and crevice tool mean you won't ever be unable to reach a tough spot that's gotten dusty over time. With a 7.5 m cleaning radius, you can be sure that the telescopic tube of the Deik vacuum will get every last speck of dirt in the home.
In the end, it's safe to say that the Deik Cylinder is the best budget vacuum cleaner in terms of sheer performance and dirt filtration. It's going to work particularly well on hardwood, tile, and carpets and while it may have a bit of trouble maneuvering the device certainly vacuums deep rugs just as perfectly as any other surface.

Hoover SE71WR02
An Absolute Bargain
Not everybody is willing to spend hundreds of pounds on a simple household appliance such as a vacuum cleaner, even if it's got some accessories to go along with it. If you're a thrifty shopper looking for a bargain but don't want to compromise on the quality of the vacuum, we recommend trying the Hoover SE71WR02 Whirlwind.
This model may be lightweight at a mere 3.8 kg but it's certainly up to par with the bigger ones in terms of suction power. It may not rip tiles out of the floor but 700 W is enough to suck up any dirt, dust, and clingy pet fur out of carpets. You can, of course, adjust the power level if you need to, for times when you're cleaning curtains or particularly delicate materials.
We're not going to pretend that the small size of the vacuum doesn't have a disadvantage, namely the pretty tiny collection tank of 1.5 litres. You'll have to empty it out after every cleaning session and, occasionally, maybe even in the middle of one.
Like any good canister vacuum, the Hoover SE71WR02 Whirlwind has a fully flexible hose and a telescopic tube so you can reach any spot in the room with ease. While the official manual puts the cleaning radius at 5 meters, we'd actually estimate it being a bit higher, depending on which nozzle you put on the hose.
Pet Hair Beware!
You won't ever have to get down on your knees to brush stray hairs or dirt from underneath the couch as the Hoover SE71WR02 Whirlwind comes with a crevice tool. This nozzle lets you slide into any nooks to get to particularly dirty areas that can't be reached with the regular attachment. You can even clean those little creases between tiles in the kitchen and the bathroom, which we certainly recommend doing since those places are a breeding ground for microbes and other bacteria.
Owners of furry pets will be glad to know that the Hoover SE71WR02 Whirlwind is equipped with a special turbo brush designed to suck up animal hairs. No more shedding on your clothes, no stray fur clogging up the carpet, the nozzle lets you pick up fur efficiently. This accessory and the others are kept right on the body of the vacuum so you won't ever lose the useful nozzle by accident.
Last but not least we want to praise the choice of the motor in this model since it seems to be quite energy-efficient, using up much less electricity than some of the similar competitors. The motor does have its shortcomings, though, as the vacuum can be a bit noisy. Still, a few minutes of noise is worth the savings you get on the electricity bill!
We find the Hoover SE71WR02 Whirlwind to be a great bargain if you're looking for an effective and compact canister vacuum that's going to keep your home free of dirt and pet hair. Don't let the modest design fool you, this hoover is up there with the best!

What Is a Canister Vacuum?
People spend a lot of time cleaning. The problem is, it is almost impossible to remove house dust completely as the air keeps transferring it all the time. It should be noted that dusted air has a negative impact on human health. Harmful allergens and germs can cause allergy, headache, and tiredness.
If you want to keep your dwelling clean, consider getting a Canister Vacuum. This appliance is very manoeuvrable because its cleaning brush is connected to the dust canister with the help of a flexible hose. Thus, you can easily clean between and under the furniture. Featured with various nozzles, a Canister Vacuum can perform a thorough clean-up of wooden and tiled surfaces, carpets, or louvers in your dwelling. Furthermore, if you have a furry friend, this device will easily remove pet dander and even harmful bacteria!
In this review, we'd like to focus on the five best models of Canister Vacuums presented on the market so you can choose the one that suits your needs best. And if you are interested in other options, we can offer you to take a look at our selections of cordless vacuums and carpet cleaners where you can find a model that will simplify your chores even more.
What Features to Compare
You should decide on the type before purchasing a vacuum cleaner. Modern vacuums are designed for both dry and wet cleaning. In general, there are three main types of vacuum cleaners.
- Vacuums with the Cyclonic technology and plastic dust bags (also called bowls or canisters) are considered to be the best. Such appliances never lose their suction power. No filters and dust bags to replace - no extra expenses. For example, Dyson vacuums not only remove dust from various surfaces but also capture microscopic dust particles as small as 0.5 microns. They are perfect for allergy or asthma sufferers.
- Vacuum cleaners with dust bags are great for dry cleaning. They accumulate dust and dirt in reusable or disposable dust bags. For example, vacuums with disposable bags are considered to be more hygienic because they protect consumers from touching the dust while removing it. Furthermore, these devices are environmentally friendly because they don't need any chemicals for clean-ups. Note, please, that the capacity of disposable dust bags is higher than that of reusable bags.
- Wet/dry suction cleaners perform a wider spectrum of functions than most dry vacuum cleaners do. For example, they can easily remove the stains of spilt coffee from any surfaces. Moreover, they are also appropriate for removing dirt and dust from carpets, soft furniture or laminate. Such devices can even remove pets' excrement from upholstery and neutralise unpleasant odours. It should be added that these vacuums can easily remove tough stains with a push of a button. All you need to do is apply a wet/dry suction cleaner on the stain or spot and choose a cleaning cycle. That's all!
The performance of a Canister Vacuum cleaner primarily depends on a vacuuming speed and dust cup capacity. Air filtration is also very important. Suction power has a direct impact on the vacuuming speed. Consequently, the higher suction power the vacuum has, the more thorough and the faster clean-up it will perform. Note that you will have to clean a large dust cup less often than a small one.
Canister Vacuum cleaners not only perform a clean-up of your apartment but also purify the air that you breathe. Thus, all models are fitted with filters. Every Canister Vacuum model has a washable coarse mesh filter that captures large particles of dust. It should also be mentioned that the HEPA filter is considered to be the most effective one since it captures up to 99.97% of dust, bacteria and germs. Such air filtration will be appreciated by allergy sufferers. Moreover, the construction of a wet/dry suction cleaner includes a water reservoir and an aqua filter. Thus, this device performs not only an effective cleaning of your apartment but also humidifies the air. Superb!
Nozzles also have a significant impact on the performance of a vacuum cleaner. For example, a turbine head is designed to remove pet hair from your carpets or furniture. A crevice tool is appropriate for vacuuming soft furniture while a brush roller can easily remove dust from household appliances. An accessory kit often contains the variety of other nozzles that help customers remove dust even from the most hard-to-reach areas.
Customers should also know everything about the convenience of the chosen appliance. Some models of vacuum cleaners are equipped with adjustable handles, which allow customers to reach the most confined places. The cord length defines how far you can move the device from the socket. If the cord is too short, you should think of purchasing an extension cable. Furthermore, some vacuum cleaners are equipped with an automatic unwind system. It will be enough to push a special button to unwind a cord. All in all, such a technical solution will help adjust the cord length and prevent it from dangling.
Finally, a vacuum cleaner should be easily disassembled to allow the customer to replace the filter and wash the reservoir. If you choose the vacuum cleaner that satisfies all your demands, you will be able to enjoy your every clean-up!

While it may seem like he's doing what's best for his family, Saul explains how law enforcement will come after Skyler and ruin Walter's family. Walter is making a private decision about what to do and what he believes is best, but he may be ignoring all of the costs he imposes on other people by running. Saul suggests that if he truly cares about his family then he'll turn himself in.

- Top Democratic lawmakers weighed the possibility of pursuing impeachment actions against President Donald Trump in response to special counsel Robert Mueller's report in a series of Sunday television appearances.
- House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff of California said Democrats would meet in the next few weeks to discuss impeachment based on the report's "serious and damning" findings.
- House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler of New York said obstruction of justice "would be impeachable" but only "if proven."
- Democrats are still divided on if pursuing impeachment would be worthwhile for the party.

Top Democrats said Sunday that special counsel Robert Mueller's report on his two-year investigation could open the door to impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump.
The release of the 448-page report on the investigation into Trump's campaign and the 2016 presidential election reopened impeachment discussions among Democrats as figures like 2020 candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren called for action from congressional committees.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff led the charge, saying on "Fox News Sunday" that the House Democratic caucus will meet in the coming weeks to discuss possible next moves.
"That's going to be a very consequential decision and one that I'm going to reserve judgment on until we've had a chance to fully deliberate on it," Schiff said.
However, Schiff later expressed caution about any motion's chances on ABC's "This Week."
"We are unfortunately in an environment today where the GOP leadership, people like Kevin McCarthy, are willing to carry the president's water no matter how corrupt or unethical or dishonest the president's conduct may be," he said. "In those kind of circumstances, when Mitch McConnell will not stand up to the president either, it means that an impeachment is likely to be unsuccessful."

Despite the motion's chances of success, Schiff said the caucus would ultimately have to decide "what is the best thing for the country."
Though the report said investigators could not pursue charges against the president for obstruction of justice, they were also unable to "reach a judgment" that "the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice."
Though Trump has touted the report as a victory, it confirmed there are still dozens of unresolved investigative threads and court cases connected to the Russia investigation.
These open-ended conclusions have turned the attention on Congress to determine if Trump can be impeached.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said obstruction of justice "would be impeachable" but only "if proven."
"We may get to that, we may not," Nadler said. "As I've said before, it is our job to go through all the evidence, all the information we can get."
Despite the support voiced by the chairmen Sunday, Democratic leadership is still apparently divided on the effort impeachment would take, as House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said last week that it's "not worthwhile" for the party.
"Based on what we have seen to date, going forward on impeachment is not worthwhile at this point," Hoyer said on CNN. "Very frankly, there is an election in 18 months, and the American people will make a judgment."

Four games stand between Palmeiras and this year's South America Cup title. Tonight, we'll know our next opponent: Avaí or Goiás. Avaí is in slight advantage, as they drew 2-2 in the away game; a goalless or a 1-1 draw qualifies the team from the state of Santa Catarina. Another 2-2 will result in a penalty shootout, while a draw with more than two goals for each side qualifies the goianos.
I tend to think that Palmeiras would be better off facing Avaí in the semi-finals: both teams are struggling against the threat of relegation, but the situation is more serious for Goiás. Depending on the outcome of this weekend's games, Goiás might have to throw the towel altogether, enabling a complete focus on the SA Cup. Avaí is much more likely to be torn between the two competitions and having to balance its forces.
The setting for yesterday's game was perfect, the atmosphere more contagious than any time before this season. Pacaembu was filled to the brim with optimistic and cheering palmeirenses – a seasonal record of 36.000 – except for the some 2.000 spectators with tickets in hands that were not able to enter the arena until the second half due to bad administration of the stadium gates.
Much speculation on what line-up Atlético would present, as indeed the full squad travelled to São Paulo. In the end, the starting eleven were made up of reserves only. Palmeiras, of course, came as strong as possible with Deola; Márcio Araújo, Maurício Ramos, Danilo and Gabriel Silva; Edinho, Marcos Assunção, Tinga and Valdivia; Kleber and Luan. With the rain pouring down heavily, the game was only 15 minutes old when Valdivia started grimacing and again had to be taken off the pitch, replaced by Lincoln. Puta que pariu! Something is seriously wrong – not only with Valdivia who never seem to heal from what should be a simple little muscular problem to the back of his left thigh – but also with Palmeiras' team of doctors. Can't they perform the right tests on the midfielder before the game in order to REALLY know if he is fit to play or not? This is the fourth game in a row that he's unable to stay on the pitch for more than 30 minutes.
Anyway: first half and Palmeiras showed superiority and calmness. The first goal, at 33 minutes, was a different piece of work: Marcus Assunção took the corner, the ball deflected slightly on an Atlético defender and went straight into the net: a so called Olympic goal (just look at that curve).
Second half, and Atlético had no option but to press for the equaliser. Palmeiras backed home, dangerously so. Although Palmeiras' defence was well positioned most of the time, a couple of shots came dangerously close. Deola showed class as always, especially knocking away all crosses and corners within his reach. Atlético's coach Dorival made substitutions, replacing his defensive midfielders with strikers, obviously taking a chance. It didn't pay off. Instead, Palmeiras in a rapid counter attack sealed the fate of the game after a precise shot by Luan. Watch the highlights below.
The second leg against either Avaí or Goiás will take place at the Pacaembu arena, and so will the second leg in the finals in case Palmeiras goes through to confront LDU. In case Argentine team Independiente becomes our opponent in the final, the first leg takes place at Pacaembu and the second leg at the Doble Visera stadium, city of Avellaneda.

Feedback from a parent: "It's just a quick note of thanks for the recent girls Holy Island Camp. My daughter attended the camp a couple of weeks ago and loved it. We have just moved to the north east and were apprehensive about her going away for a full week due to her age and how recently she has made new friendship groups. We need not have worried, she has raved about her experiences and the activities. So much so, that she has asked to return at the end of August."

I have the relevant ORB but strangely there are no entries after 5th May until 22nd May so not much use.
Pages appear to be correctly numbered with nothing missing.
regards Peter
Hi all,
Can any 2 TAF gen persons please help with a bit of info on 88 Sqn Boston IIIA BZ323 'A' which force-landed near Ohsten's Farm, Pulham St Mary, Norfolk on 18 May 1944?
A friend at a Norfolk museum has a photo of the aircraft taken by a USAAF serviceman and marked 'GAD-36-1-100 18-5-44'. I have a disk with quite a lot of 88 Sqn ops on it but it finishes in Dec 1943! I note from the AB BA-BZ monograph the cause was the propellers being accidentally feathered in flight. Would anybody happen to have a crew-list on this one?
TIA for any details,
I have the relevant ORB but strangely there are no entries after 5th May until 22nd May so not much use.

The following from Michael Bowyer's, 2 Group R.A.F. (pp.365-6):
After taking part in Exercise 'Fabian', 88 Squadron withdrew to Swanton Morley on 6 May (1944), for army support training and to practice smoke laying. The culmination of this training came on 28 May when an Army demonstration was given on Salisbury Plain during which the Army fired smoke marker shells and many 2 Group aircraft flew overhead to observe this style of indication to be used when the Army wanted very close support and marked targets a few yards ahead of its front line in France,
Thanks Peter and Col. At least I am a bit more genned up on what 88 Sqn were actually doing at the time now. RAF Boston crashes were quite rare in this area at the time. Unfortunately there are no detailed WW 2 Police records for Norfolk, and the CD files do not normally record aircraft crashes unless services/property/civilians were affected in some way.

Rare is the day where I wake up
and it is not full of wonder. Perhaps
a day can come across as this one –
brutally hot (yet perfectly fine if I hide
from the sun). A chance encounter leaves me smiling
and another planned keeps me hoping
for future things … great ideas
taking over the world, one step at a time.
Small ideas to grow to great things
and an eventual takeover of ideals…
(Don't worry – the revolution will be over before
you even realize it.) Painfree, loving
concepts will be the new way of life;
while it may seem hard and difficult
at first, it gets easier to think
outside the lines of where natural thought
begins and this current unreality ends; and all
of this because of a chance meeting
on a lovely Spring night. Who knew
that two humans could meet in such
an innocuous way as to be able
to harness mutual respect, admiration
and turn it into a fairly loving plan to rule
the world. Again, for those not tuned in,
it won't hurt. It will be gentle, loving
like all things of great power, it will happen
when you least expect it.

Overloading the dumpster means that debris could fly off as we are hauling it away and cause serious accidents and damages. Please do not fill the dumpster beyond the side railing. We have several roll-off dumpster sizes available if you feel you have a larger load.
As you can see, a larger size dumpster was needed for this job. Unfortunately, because of the additional work and time required for addressing issues like these, over filling a dumpster like this will incur penalty fees. A dumpster cannot be hauled away until it is unloaded and all items are even with the side rails or debris is not protruding from the top.
Please remember to leave a clear path for dumpster pickup. If your dumpster is being blocked by a vehicle or other object when we arrive to pick up, and somebody is not present to move it, it is a pickup attempt and customer will be billed.
Give us a call
Big Ups and Great Kudos! Came to the rescue at the right time and fair price. Johnny Bobby is No. 1 on my 'go to' list. In addition, he was pleasant, professional and executed the task in a timely manner.
Johnny Bobby was great. He was very accommodating to our same day changes (including getting a dumpster to us in 30 minutes!) I highly recommend.
Professional and convenient. I called and within minutes had the lowest quote in town and had the dumpster exactly when I needed and picked up exactly when I needed to be. These guys are on point and look forward to doing business with them again.
Johnny is very thorough and helpful! His personality and demeanor are relentless in accomplishing every project he has started! A good man to have on your side.
The customer service I received was outstanding! I will definitely use his services for my next project!!
Called for service at the last minute and they delivered within an hour. Awesome service. Will use them exclusively in the future
Called in the evening, he was incredibly professional and courteous, he showed up first thing the next morning on time and got my trash from a house remodel quickly removed and even swept my garage where drywall had left dust everywhere. His dumpster was cleaner than most people's homes. He also offered a military discount as well as being a Veteran owned and operated business. Will be using him from now on for any junk or trash removal.
Johnny Bobby did an excellent job! I highly recommend. It was a fair price, and the service was excellent. Same day.
Johnny Bobby was fantastic to work with. He delivered the dumpster right on schedule and exhibited flexibility in the pickup date to work around some challenges with my schedule.
called on a saturday, they were here is less than 40 minutes with a clean dumpster and less cost than all the others.
Excellent service they took my California King bed and a couple of sofas. Very satisfied.

In the end, this beautiful and elegant warrior of a bird was gone less than 24 hours after this picture was taken. In the meantime, the experience of our encounter with her was one of wonder and humility.
We went to the beach for a dinner picnic only to discover that 15 feet away from where we put our chairs was this beautiful creature, standing on a rock, just above the waters of Lake Michigan. But something was very wrong. She did not move as we settled in and it seemed immediately apparent that she was in serious distress. She stood motionless, proudly dignified in the breeze with the waves splashing just below her feet. At one moment, and only once, she spread her wings revealing the asymmetry of a wound that took her flight away. Her head was tucked, facing backward, and covered by and buried in her back wings. What should we do?
There are people who know what to do under such circumstances. Chicago Bird Collision Monitors (773 988-1867) sent a volunteer named Susan, a former school teacher. She graciously and gingerly approached this cormorant, covered it with a towel and picked it right up. The bird offered no resistance. The next day, my wife Nina, drove this beautiful creature along with two other wounded birds to the Willowbrook Nature Center who care for wild creatures of all sorts who've been injured. To our great dismay, our new found friend didn't make it through the day.
So now, I have this image seared in my imagination. We are frequently at the lake and marveling at the magnificence of this particular breed. Cormorants not only fly but they swim deep into the waters in search of prey. They've been heralded in folklore, according to Wikipedia, ranging from the disguise the devil wore in Garden of Eden to tempt Adam and Eve with an apple, to being the model for a hood ornament on the Packard automobiles of the 1940's.
We stayed with her for about 90 minutes before Susan arrived. She never left this rock--perhaps knowing her fate. Who knows what she was thinking? But her upright strength and dignity strikes me as warrior-like. Cormorants can not only fly through the skies and swim to a depth of 150 feet. With all due respect to the human race, we can't come anywhere near that. And we marveled at the notion that she could have been saved and we could have seen her fly away with a newly healed wing. Instead we'll return to Lake Michigan and watch with wistful delight when the next cormorant shows up.
