Find all that you need to research Volvo SUVs.
Volvo is an auto manufacturer headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, that is a division of a manufacturing company specializing in commercial vehicles, industrial equipment, and marine components. Various Volvo subsidiaries were already up and running when the automotive division was officially established in 1927. The company's original objective was to build passenger vehicles that could handle Sweden's harsh environment, a goal that has shaped the company's priorities of building extremely safe cars. The Volvo automotive division was sold to Ford Motor Company in 1999. About ten years later, the company ended up under the control of Geely Automobile, a Chinese auto manufacturer. Volvo has maintained its focus on strong, safe vehicles, and Volvo SUV models often compete with sport utility vehicles from the European and Japanese high end auto manufacturers.
One such example of a Volvo sport utility vehicle is the XC90. This mid size luxury crossover SUV was revealed at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in 2002 after being shown in concept form a year earlier. The production vehicle was revealed to be very close in style to the original concept, and went into production in the summer of 2002. The Volvo XC90 is a front engine vehicle that is available in front-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive configurations, and bears the distinction of being the best selling Volvo model in the United States as well as being the first Volvo sport utility vehicle model to market. It is available in several trim levels and with a diverse lineup of engine choices. This Volvo sport utility vehicle is scheduled to go into its second generation in late 2014, and in the meantime, the first generation of the XC90 has received a handful of cosmetic updates and lighting upgrades. The XC90 is built in Sweden at the Volvo Torslanda Plant.
Another model in the Volvo sport utility lineup is the XC60 crossover SUV. The Volvo XC60 was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland in 2008 as a 2009 model year vehicle, and quickly became Volvo's best selling vehicle. The North American version of the XC60 began export a year later, for the 2010 model year. The XC60 is assembled at a Volvo production facility in Ghent, Belgium. Like the Volvo XC90, the XC60 is a front engine vehicle with a choice of front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive, depending on trim level. The XC60 reveals some insight about potential future Volvo sport utility vehicles, since the company has discussed the possibility of a plug-in hybrid version of this Volvo SUV model.

Dear D5Creations,
I created a post, added the <!--more--> tag after the first (before the second) paragraph, and I didn't write anything in the Excerpt meta field. Now the Read More button does not show up on the front/home page.
Without using the <!--more--> tag, it appears again after a randomly trimmed portion of my first paragraph. Why?
Can you help me to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance...

If you have tax debt (known as back-tax liability), the IRS may assign your case to a Revenue Officer if one of the following applies: (1) the IRS has been unable to collect the taxes through the normal channels (notices, levies, liens, telephone calls, etc.); (2) you have a history of not filing taxes; (3) you have not paid certain types of taxes (e.g. payroll taxes); or (4) you owe a very large amount. If you are contacted by an IRS revenue officer, you should immediately try to resolve your tax liability. You do have options: the IRS is given wide latitude to resolve tax liabilities by negotiating payment plans, placing clients into a protected status (Currently Not Collectible status), and granting extensions to full pay.
IRS revenue officers are highly skilled employees of the IRS collection division. Revenue officers have more training than regular IRS collection employees. Sometimes this can be a plus, as they will follow normal protocol. However, it also means they have an advantage over taxpayers, a situation that usually results in the revenue officer gaining the upper hand.
The IRS grants revenue officers absolute collection authority. This means they have the ability to send notices, make phone calls, make at-home or at-work visits, and issue summons (calling you to mandatory meetings at IRS offices). They are also authorized to issue levies (garnishing your wages or putting holds on your bank accounts), seize accounts receivable, and initiate seizure of valuable property, among others.
If an IRS Revenue Officer is assigned to your tax liability case, you should immediately prepare to resolve it. Following these steps will ensure that you do not get strong-armed into a form of resolution that you can't afford.
If you still have an IRS back-tax liability after taking those steps, do the following:
If you or your attorney is able to get a second call, the IRS representative will ask some questions to verify your income, expenses, and assets. The representative will then use a form similar to IRS Form 433-F to complete the calculation. At the end of that call, you will be told what your financial information indicates you can afford to pay. If you cannot afford a monthly payment, you will qualify for Currently Not Collectible status. This will protect your account from IRS collection efforts. If you are already facing an IRS bank levy or IRS wage garnishment, ask at this time that it be immediately released. Be prepared with appropriate contact information so that the revenue officer can immediately fax over the release.

Punters fork out for an Eels' spoon
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- March 07, 2012
THE Eels forked-out big bucks to become a premiership force in 2012, but it's taken just 80 minutes for bookmakers to label them wooden spoon favourites.
TAB Sportsbet yesterday declared Stephen Kearney's men outright $5.50 favourites to claim rugby league's most unwanted prize following Parramatta's opening round defeat to Brisbane.
The Eels started this year's spoon market at a comfy $13 thanks to a handsome recruitment drive that snared Chris Sandow, Willie Tonga and Ben Roberts. But after two unconvincing trial performances and the first-up disappointment against Brisbane, that quote has been crunched beyond the short odds originally offered about Gold Coast and Canberra.
TAB Sportsbet spokesman Glenn Munsie pointed to Parramatta's lack of scoring options as the chief culprit. "The only points they scored against the Broncos came from an error and they never looked like threatening again," he said.
"They've got similar manpower to last year and although Sandow is there now, nothing much seems to have changed."
Parramatta are the second most backed team to run last behind Canberra, which accounts for a whopping 50 per cent of spoon investment so far.
The Raiders are equal $6 second-elects with Penrith, while Gold Coast have drifted to $8 after shutting-out North Queensland in Townsville last weekend.
Eels chairman Roy Spagnolo said the eventual return of talisman Jarryd Hayne and Tonga - both of who missed the Broncos game with injury and have not been named for Monday night's clash against New Zealand - would ignite the team's attack.
"I'm still confident we're a top eight team."

HIP-HOP WAR: Krazy Kid of 101.5 Jamz sues Power 98.3, alleges harassment, and faux KKK shenanigans.
Kid (right) with Ruben (left) and LL Cool J (center).
Hip-hop radio employees slipping on KKK hoods to pay a visit to their rivals? As incredible as it sounds, that's the tale told by a lawsuit filed August 21 by 101.5 Jamz DJ Krazy Kid Stevens(aka, "Darin Damme") of the Kid and Ruben morning show against rival hip-hop station Power 98.3. Damme's lawyer has also asked for an injunction against harassment ordering Power 98.3 employees to steer clear of Kid at his home or place of business, which is sure to be difficult because the studios for Power 98.3 and 101.5 Jamz are apparently located in the same building.
According to the complaint, the harassment has included various incidents where either Kid's offices or events have been flyered with anti-Kid propaganda, like a picture of Kid hunting javelina with the words, "Hunting javelina is not Hip-Hop," or a CD with a confederate flag and the words "Hick Hop," which was supposedly handed out at an event where the rap star Chamillionaire was present.

But the weirdest incident allegedly occurred on August 13, and included a visit from some pseudo White Knights. The complaint reads:
"On or about 10 a.m., `Bootleg Kev' and an unknown accomplice believed to be an employee and/or agent of RBG and Power 98.3, appeared at the broadcast studios of 101.5 Jamz located at 4745 North 7th Street Ste 210 Phoenix, Arizona ("the Studio"), wearing white sheets over their heads to give the impression that they were members of the Klu Klux Klan ("KKK") and announced that they had a meeting with Damme."
The complaint alleges that these kooky Klansmen distributed a flyer of Kid with the dead javelina and the announcement:
KKK MEETING 8-13-07 @ 8:00 a.m. With a Speech from Acclaimed White Supremacist: KKKID STEVENS. Free Javelina Meal for the first 20 people to arrive!
In addition to the complaint, Krazy Kid's got "Kid Sharpton," aka the Rev. Jarrett Maupin involved, and Maupin has called a press conference for today at 1 p.m. at the Power studios (which, as stated, is in the same building as 101.5 Jamz). Maupin and Al Sharpton's National Action Network, of which Maupin is the local head, are denouncing Power, supporting Kid, and insisting the FCC take action.
"Exhibit A" in the Kid complaint is an e-mail allegedly from Power program director Bruce St. James, aka Bruce Dalton, which reads like a declaration of war against 101.5 Jamz, the new hip-hop kid on the block, which recently changed its format and hired Kid and Ruben as its morning show. 101.5 Jamz has a much clearer signal than Power. That's the source of some chagrin in the e-mail, which reads,
"This doesn't mean we won't raise up and bitch-slap them from time to time. Most of what we do will be off-air and behind the scenes to make their lives hell. We didn't ask for this fight, but we are perfectly willing to whip some ass when challenged."
The memo lambastes Kid as an ofay, stating, "Nothing screams Hip-Hop like a 42-year-old white guy who hunts javelina on the weekend and owns a fishing boat." (According to court docs, Kid is actually 35.) The irony is, of course, that Bruce St. James is a white 30-something dood who enjoys "racing sprint cars at Manzanita Speedway on the weekends." This, from a profile of St. James done by former New Times music scribe Brendan Joel Kelley titled "The Conservative Rap" (October 28, 2004) wherein Kelley discusses St. James' side-career at that time as an ultra-right-wing talk show personality for KTAR (then, only on the AM dial). Kelley describes St. James as a "total apologist for the Bush administration." At the same time St. James was doing his Rush Limbaugh shtick, he was the program director for Power 92.3 FM, now Power 98.3 FM.
(BTW, I have a call into St. James for comment, but he has yet to respond.)
To confuse you further, 92.3 FM is currently the home of KTAR news/talk radio, and Krazy Kid had been working for KTAR as a talk jock full time up until signing on with 101.5 Jamz. He's still doing some fill-in work off and on for KTAR, I believe. His call-in show's been mildly conservative, somewhere between far-rightist Darrell Ankarlo and middle-of-the-roader Pat McMahon. Probably closer to McMahon than Ankarlo.
St. James' e-mail also makes reference to Kid being let go by 104.7 KISS FM shortly after somewhat controversial comments he made about those hit by Hurricane Katrina. To be honest, I've never heard those comments first-hand, but I do remember them being criticized by MG's Morning Madhouse, which was then the morning show at Power 92.3 before it was replaced by Da Nutz, and before Power moved down the dial to 98.3.
Obviously, if blackness were a criterion for being involved in PHX hip-hop, whether on the radio or elsewhere, a lot of people would have to be excluded from the local game. Da Nutz, for instance, definitely have a Latin thing going on. So as far as people jockeying for authenticity or real-ness, that seems a little silly. I mean is it "real" to be dressing up like Klansmen and paying a visit to the competition, if that's what happened?
Even if this all went down exactly as said, I'm not sure what, if anything, should be done. The whole Klan escapade, as described, seems over the line, like a punk-prank gone bad. And whoever orchestrated it has some apologizing to do (once again, assuming all happened as the suit alleges). Those pointing the finger at crackers in the woodpile best ease up as well. 'Cause that's certainly a case of the pot calling the kettle white.
"This claim is completely unfounded and without merit, we look forward to a quick, favorable resolution. In the meantime, we will not let this frivolous action and attempt to gain free publicity distract us from continuing to provide our listeners with the Valley's best and most authentic Hip and Hop music and entertainment."
"Hip and Hop"? You guessed it, he's a white guy...At least he didn't call it "hippity-hop."

Fox) is the Deputy Mayor of New York City, serving as Mayor Randall Winston's (Barry Bostwick) key strategist and much-needed handler. Mike runs the city with the help of his oddball staff: an anxious and insecure press secretary (Richard Kind); a sexist, boorish chief of staff (Alan Ruck); an impeccably groomed gay activist running minority affairs (Michael Boatman); a sharp and efficient, man-crazy accountant (Connie Britton); and an idealistic young speechwriter (Alexander Chaplin). Like Mike, they are all professionally capable but personally challenged.

digital delivery of content. Mostly CBTs (Computer Based Training), downloadable learning materials on CDs/DVDs get most
attention. We can't expect good bandwidth in such a places where the user can take part in online interactive classes. So
after ILTs, the next nig thing is self paced learning through books, magazines, newspapers etc. When it comes to digital part
of such an approach, downloadable standalone digital learning materials win the case.So the fact is "self-paced learning" is
a reality even in the age of social networking based MOOCs."
So one of the focus area of CUPID team is explore possibilities in the education sectors in developing countries, through
exploration of new ways to improve the "self paced learning" domain.
And this is one of many reasons why CUPID focuses on "self paced learning". In addition to that the focus areas in finding
new ways to provide richer "meaningful experience" is what differentiates CUPID from existing approaches through conventional
We are not talking about replacing CBTs/WBTs with something new, rather improving the existing "self paced learning"
approaches with new ways to improve user engagement and bring some reliability to it so that it can open new possibilities
for certification courses to include "self paced learning" as a part of their certifications.
So it's all about the "new and meaningful experience" that we are planning to bring into "self paced learning" through CUPID.

Daughter born 11/30/12 only 28 weeks
DD1-6/25/11. DD2- our rainbow baby, born at 37.1 weeks on 6/5/15!!
My son was a 28 weeker and was 1lb 12oz. He was intubated for 5 days, nasal cannula for 4 days then was reintubated for 9 more days (No CPAP in our NICU and the doctors had different opinons about the vent so it changed with whoever was working :/) He was then on a nasal cannula for around 3 weeks. At 33 weeks he started nippling and did fairly well with it right away. He had no major issues and went home at 37.1 weeks.
The only issue we had after the NICU was having 2 inguinal hernias repaired which was no big deal. Otherwise he's been perfectly healthy and growing like a weed! Good luck to you and your LO :)

Hopes Dim for Trapped Sailors
Fire Leaves Craft Partially Submerged; Authorities Have Had No Contact With Crew
MUMBAI—Indian navy rescuers worked into the night Wednesday in an effort to reach 18 crew members believed trapped after explosions on a submarine, although officers said chances that any had survived appeared remote.
Multiple blasts and a major fire tore through the INS Sindhurakshak here early Wednesday morning, crippling the diesel-powered submarine and dealing a blow to the Indian military in its bid to modernize to counter a more assertive China.
"While we hope for the best, at the same time, we have to prepare for the worst," Adm. D.K. Joshi, India's chief of naval staff, said in a televised news conference from Mumbai.
The disaster, on the eve of India's Aug. 15 Independence Day, casts a shadow on the government's multi-billion-dollar effort to strengthen India's military and equip it with more sophisticated weapons.
By Wednesday evening, divers had breached the hull of the damaged submarine, which was sitting on the bottom, largely submerged, at its berth in a Mumbai navy dockyard, and were searching for any survivors, the navy said.
Three officers and 15 sailors were unaccounted for, the navy said. Adm. Joshi said it was possible the men had found an air pocket or grabbed breathing apparatus but noted that much of the vessel had been submerged for 12 hours.
Three other sailors jumped overboard and are safe, he said.
Adm. Joshi said it is unclear what caused the explosions on the Sindhurakshak, which rejoined the fleet earlier this year after being sent to Russia for refitting. He said sabotage hadn't been ruled out but appeared unlikely.
"This is the worst-ever naval accident India has seen," said Uday Bhaskar, a retired navy commodore now at the National Maritime Foundation. "We have never seen such scale of damage, and never have so many of our men been trapped like this."
Spurred in part by an increase in Chinese naval operations in the Indian Ocean and elsewhere, New Delhi has become more focused on maritime security.
The country on Monday launched its first domestically made aircraft carrier, a vessel critical for naval power projection. Another carrier, purchased from Russia, is expected to arrive by the end of the year, joining a U.K.-built carrier already in use.
Submarines also play an important role in India's naval strategy. The country on Saturday started the reactor on its first homegrown nuclear-powered submarine.
The difficulty in detecting submarines and the significant danger they pose to surface warships make them valuable in denying foreign forces access to Indian waters in the event of conflict.
India has about 15 submarines in service, but many of them are aging. The loss of the newly refurbished Sindhurakshak, which was equipped with an advanced missile system, dents the navy's capabilities.
"This is certainly a setback, given the current strength of submarines in the Indian navy," said Cmdr. Sarabjeet Parmar, a naval officer who is a researcher at the Institute for Defense Studies and Analyses in New Delhi.
The navy was attempting to pump water out of some of the submarine's compartments on Wednesday in an effort to refloat the vessel, a Kilo-class submarine commissioned in 1997.
A fire in the Sindhurakshak in 2010 killed one sailor. After that, the vessel was sent to the Zvezdochka Ship Repair Center in Russia, where work was carried out on its power generator and navigation system among other components.
Yevgeny Gladyshev, a spokesman for the repair center, said there were no defects on the boat when it was sent back to India this year.
Despite efforts to build up its own defense industries, India remains highly reliant on imported weapons. Russia is its largest source, supplying tanks, fighter jets, helicopters and ships. India and Russia have jointly developed a cruise missile.

Deaths in cases of pelvic abscess following vaginal incision and age, and the pathology of the disease.
General summary and conclusions.
The history of the treatment of pelvic abscess carries the student back to the very beginnings of gynecology and surgery.

It takes one back to an age when there were no surgical specialties. Overcoming national prejudice, it links into a common chain the names of men who, during the past century, have laid the foundations of operative

Hair Of Deceased Person, Read By Psychic
Wednesday, July 1, 2009
For those with a hair fetish, this one's for you. This lock of hair, which is housed in the National Arts Library for those of you who would like to come and see the real thing for yourself, was one of the objects that Avril tried to 'read'. She was not shown the handwritten note until after the reading. Hair with accompanying handwritten note...

Playing Cards Read By Psychic

This pack of cards (only four left) were one of the items read by Avril during the first psychic workshop we conducted. She had never seen or touched them before.

Hair is fascinating stuff - it doesn't really rot so it keeps for a long time and it contains a certain amount of a person's DNA.

Kaftan of murdered Prince?
Thursday, June 25, 2009
This was one of the objects that I'd had my eye on, early in the residency, for the psychic workshop. Unfortunately, it's an item that's on display and therefore couldn't be used for obvious reasons. However, it doesn't detract from the fact that it would've been interesting to see what Avril, the psychic with whom I'm working, could've read from it....

Tuesday, June 9, 2009
I would be grateful if any of you would answer this simple question, in your own way. You can remain anonymous - it's more the result I'm after.

Psychic Workshop Preparation
Monday, June 8, 2009
One of the great perks of this residency is coming into contact with the curators. They offer a wealth of expertise and knowledge that I couldn't acquire in a lifetime.

Whilst preparing for my psychic workshop, I've had to rely on the curators to supply me with a list of...

25 May 2009 I thought it sad when, this morning as I marched robotically alongside my fellow commuters to my required tube platform and the voice over the tannoy announced that some train lines were temporarily out of service due to a person under a train, my first thought, far from being any emotion or concern for the person, was to hope that it wasn't the line that I needed.

A police standoff with an armed man who reported having explosives in his vehicle briefly halted traffic on Northern California's busiest bridge during Thursday's morning commute.
The 51-year-old man, described by authorities as mentally unstable, called police around 7 a.m. after pulling over on the upper deck of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and threatened to blow it up, said California Highway Patrol spokesman Sgt. Trent Cross.
A man claiming to be the driver of the SUV called local radio station KCBS' Phone Force line during the standoff, CBS San Francisco reports. KCBS producer Ted Goldberg said the man had told the radio station that he was upset because his wife had been cheating on him and was going to leave him.
Authorities halted all westbound traffic on the upper deck as officers negotiated with the man, who could be seen standing outside his vehicle, talking on a cell phone.
His 16-year-old daughter managed to escape from the vehicle during the hourlong standoff.
Cross said the man, an emergency medical technician, reported being upset over a family issue. He brandished a gun, then threw it over the railing into the water.
After convincing him to surrender, officers passed him a pair of handcuffs and he put them on and turned himself in, Cross said. The man's name was not immediately released.
Authorities found no explosives in his vehicle.
The highway patrol reopened some westbound lanes shortly after 8 a.m., though traffic remained snarled throughout the morning. Eastbound lanes on the lower desk were kept open during the incident.
The U.S. Coast Guard also responded to the incident. The Coast Guard "closed the waterway under the bridge and have established a safety zone," Lt. Steve Warner said.
An average of 280,000 motorists use the Bay Bridge each day.

|"Teen Titans' #72 on sale in June
Bryan Q. Miller pulled a rabbit out his hat earlier this year when he introduced Zatanna to the âSmallvilleâ mythos by writing the Season 8 episode, âHex.â DC Comics obviously thought Miller had a handle on scripting young heroes, because after penning three episodes of the CW hit series, the publisher gave him a multi-issue arc on âTeen Titansâ for his first assignment in comics.
For Millerâs debut effort, he serves as co-writer on âTeen Titansâ #72 with Sean McKeever (who also scripts Ravager back-up stories), and finishes the next two issues on his own. The writer says the fill-in story serves as a âpivotal narrative bridgeâ for the title moving forward.
But thatâs not all for the relative newcomer.
DC revealed via its blog The Source that Miller will launch âBatgirlâ in August â the final piece to the puzzle that is the Batverse post-âBattle for the Cowl.â
CBR sat down with Bryan Q. Miller to talk about these projects and more.
CBR: Are you a long-time fan of this iteration of âTeen Titans?â
Bryan Q. Miller: Iâve been reading the title faithfully since 2003 or 2004, I think.
|"Teen Titans" #73
Do you have a favorite character or a favorite run?
Picking a favorite character is a little rough. I love Robin, in both his own title and âTeen Titans.â Same for Jaime. Iâm very glad Blue Beetle joined up with the gang preceding my arc. The âteen soapâ coursing through my veins really dug the Tim/Cassie/Connor triangle that started to play out after Connorâs death, too.
Regarding a favorite run, at the end of the day, itâs a three-way tie. Iâm a big fan of the âTitans Tomorrowâ arc, and an even bigger fan of the âOne Year Laterâ run. But the one that takes the cake for me is the Outsiders/Teen Titans âInsidersâ run where Connor and Indigo went crazy on their respective teammates. I came into the title as a reader during that arc. It pulled me right in, then I played catch up.
What can you tell us about the story youâre going to tell in âTeen Titans?â
Without delving into spoiler territory, like anyone their age, all the Teen Titans want is a big night out on the town. But be careful what you wish for. What else can I say about the run without giving anything away? Itâs definitely a three-part story, beginning, middle and end â with anywhere between one and three huge events by the end of the third issue. Thereâs one huge event for the team and one game-changing development.
There may or not be a third big âthingâ happening â itâs still up in the air. And youâll know from the first page of the first issue that we -- editors Brian Ogle, Rex Cunningham, and myself -- intend to put the team through an ordeal. Howâs that for a tease?
From the solicitations for issue #73, we can see Wonder Girl gets in a heap of trouble. What makes Cassie fun to write?
As I see it, whatâs interesting about Cassie is that sheâs desperately in need of finding herself. We touch on it a bit during #72 too. Sheâs a young woman whoâs really â when you think about it â been defined by the people around her for most of the time weâve known her. She sees herself through the relationships that sheâs forged. She wants to stand on her own, but really hasnât figured out how to yet. What this arc does is kind of puts a fire under her to get those issues figured out for herself. Naturally, some things are going to get in her way.
|Bryan Q. Miller wrote "Hex," which introduced Zatanna to "Smallville"
You are also introducing an all-new Fearsome Five. Whoâs on the roster?
Of the five, three are faces youâve already seen. The remaining two are ones that you definitely havenât. Two of the five appear on the cover to #72. Another member is related to another. Suzie doesnât like peanut butter sandwiches, while Davie only sits next to Michael. Iâm now officially hoping this interview turns up as a GRE question.
What makes the Fearsome Five a worthy opponent for the Teen Titans?
The Five are the bullies in the high school cafeteria. The ones who walk right up to the good kids, slap their lunch trays away, then ask what theyâre gonna do about it. In this case, the bullies are a few years older and have been held back for obvious, deviant reasons. And the kicker is, no-matter what happens, the Teen Titans will always care about whatâs happening. The Fearsome Five? Not so much.
What can you say about the artwork of your collaborators Joe Bennett and Jack Jadson?
Amazing. Iâve really only seen Jackâs inks on the covers so far, which are great, by the way. And Iâve seen the first dozen or so pages of pencils for #72. Joe is blowing me away. I know this is only the first comic Iâve written, but I do read a fair amount. And the art always makes it or breaks it for me. It could be the best story in the world, but if the images arenât coming together, I have a hard time pressing through as a reader. Even if Joe werenât working on my script, Iâd think his stuff was very cool.
Are there any other comic projects in your future, DC or otherwise?
âBatgirl!â My experience on âTeen Titansâ was fantastic, and Iâm looking forward to working with everyone over in the Bat-group at DC. Everyone Iâve met at DC has been nothing but professional and cordial and very cool.
|Bryan Q. Miller will write the forthcoming "Batgirl" series
Canât say any more right now but weâll talk again soon.
You were credited as the writer on three episodes of âSmallvilleâ, this past season, including âHex,â which introduced Zatanna to the showâs mythos. Was that a lot of fun? The episode certainly was a hit with fans.
The fans are there for us through thick and thin, and I really couldnât be more thrilled and humbled by the response âHexâ has received. Zatanna was really a heap of fun to write. We could have played her huge, but in this case, going for a more modest arrival worked in the showâs favor â it let us play her as being just a smidge shy of the Zatanna we all know and love from the comics.
Are you returning to the show next year, if itâs back?
The show is definitely back, and Iâm definitely still along for the ride.
Any other TV or film projects you are working on?
Iâm only just starting my career, so thereâs more to come.

KISMET [1955] [Blu-ray] [US Import]
Amazon Customer

KISMET [1955] [Blu-ray] [US Import] Famed Stage Hit Glorified On The Screen! ECSTASY of Song Spectacular and Love!
With Alexander Borodins soaring music fashioned by Robert Wright and George Forrest into Stranger in Paradise, Baubles, Bangles and Beads and even more evergreens, `KISMET' turned the Broadway stage into a glittering, gleaming Arabian Nights' dream. It is ideal material, in fact for the Hollywood dream factory. To Hollywood and director Vincente Minnelli, `KISMET' is all about making desires come true.
The lavish musical follows one fateful, fabulous day as a beggar-poet [Howard Keel] and his daughter [Ann Blyth] cross paths with a wicked wazir [Sebastian Cabot], a wily temptress [Dolores Gray], a handsome prince [Vic Damone], a magical curse, opulent sets and exotic adventure. "Princes come, princes go," sings the beggar. Glorious `Kismet' endures!

Andrew's Blu-ray Review: The big Hollywood musical was on the decline when M-G-M produced 'KISMET,' the lavish 1955 musical fantasy. 'KISMET' was a big flop when it was shown in the cinemas, earning $1.8 million against a $3 million production cost, one of a handful of costly financial failures for the studio that year 'It's Always Fair Weather,' 'Jupiter's Darling' and 'Hit the Deck' all lost money, though 'Kismet' appears to have been the biggest financial loser. Previously filmed twice by Warner Bros., first as a 1920 silent film then as a 1930 early talkie, and then by M-G-M with better success in 1944, its Arabian Nights-type romance this time is an adaptation of the popular 1953 Broadway stage musical. For the screen they kept the original score and trusted much of it to their own resident baritone, Howard Keel. But though his acting was more than enough to sell the material, something in the screen translation didn't click, turning whimsy into elephantine spectacle. Only Howard Keel's scenes, particularly with leading lady Dolores Gray, suggest what a distinctive musical 'KISMET' could have been.
`KISMET' [1955] is an American musical film in CinemaScope 55 and Eastman Color released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It is the fourth film version of `Kismet' and the first was released in 1920 and the second in 1930 by Warner Brothers and the second released by M-G-M. Again, this 1955 film is based on the successful 1953 Broadway stage musical `Kismet' and this version of not at all bad, but it pales when compared to M-G-M's run of great 1950s musicals: `Royal Wedding,' `An American in Paris,' `Singin' in the Rain,' `The Band Wagon,' `Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' etc. Virtually nothing about the film stands out. The cast is serviceable but everyone seems slightly miscast; the songs offer clever lyrics but generally aren't memorable; there are no outstanding dance numbers; the sets are colourful but the action within them is blandly photographed. It may be the only M-G-M musical where the costumes far outshine the musical numbers.
In an only-in-Hollywood-imagined Baghdad, a Beggar Poet [Howard Keel] is kidnapped, whisked out into the desert and taken before brigand Jawan [Jay C. Flippen] where Jawan mistaking the Poet for rival beggar named Haji, demands that a curse placed upon him 15 years before be lifted, a curse that separated the thief from a beloved son. The Poet, unable to convince Jawan that he's not Haji, finally agrees to reverse the curse, for which Jawan pays the Poet 100 pieces of gold.
Meanwhile, the Caliph [Vic Damone] is seen wandering the city incognito with adviser Omar [Monty Woolley], where he meets the Poet's daughter, Marsinah [Ann Blyth]. With her mistaking him for a gardener, the two falls instantly in love but are soon separated. Elsewhere, the evil Wazir of Police [Sebastian Cabot] and favoured wife Lalume [Dolores Grey] plot to instead have the Caliph marry one (or perhaps all three) princesses of the King of Abadu.
The Poet returns to Baghdad a rich man but is just as quickly arrested as a thief as the gold turns out to have been stolen. However, the Poet convinces the none-too-bright Wazir that he, the Poet, is a magician to avoid getting one of his hands chopped off. Further, Lalume is impressed by the Poet's ability to fool her foolish husband. But can the Poet escape the Wazir's determination to execute him, and thwart his efforts to stand between the Caliph and Marsinah's True Love?
Produced by Arthur Freed and directed by Vincente Minnelli, 'KISMET' plays much like a filmed stage performance, partly because of its faithfulness to the original Broadway source more than most M-G-M musicals like `On the Town' for instance, and despite several obvious concessions to the strict Production Code, and probably also because of the limitation of early CinemaScope. For instance, Joseph Ruttenberg's cinematography is completely dominated by wide and medium shots with few close-ups, but also there's a dearth of purely cinematic moments. The movie version clearly could have used some Thief of Bagdad-type doses of all-out fantasy. The entire film was shot on the M-G-M lot. Even the desert scenes were obviously filmed there, with painted sky backdrops for all the exterior scenes, aided by a few matte shots. Much of this is effectively done, but other than obvious lavishness there is little to distinguish 'KISMET' from other films of this type.
In later years, 'KISMET' has attracted attention among auteurists, who have studied it for signs of Vincente Minnelli's directorial personality, even while ranking it among his lesser works. The film also provides a footnote to entertainment history thanks to the presence in the cast of future television producer Aaron Spelling in an unbilled bit as a beggar. After making 'KISMET,' the aspiring actor decided that he had no future in that field and moved behind the camera. In later years, Vincente Minnelli would joke that he was responsible for Aaron Spelling's spectacular career. The songs by Robert Wright and George Forrest, adapted from music by Alexander Borodin, most famously "Stranger in Paradise," are clever in terms of their lyrics, but few stand out; scenes from 'KISMET' aren't prominently featured in any of M-G-M's later 'That's Entertainment!' film compilations.
Blu-ray Video Quality – Warner Archive Collection's Blu-ray of `KISMET' looks about as good as it's ever going to get. The colour is bright and the image is as sharp as the limitations of early "scope" lenses will allow. 'KISMET' looks even better than when I saw it at the cinema, especially in terms of vibrant colours that are so vivid and the image is totally awesome and very sharp. This Blu-ray presentation is probably the best `KISMET' has ever looked, and perhaps ever will. It gives a rich encoded 1080p image that made you feel like you wanted to be part of the film and especially of the film set of 'KISMET.'
Blu-ray Audio Quality – It's not clear if this was originally released in the original four-track magnetic stereo or merely with Perspecta Stereophonic Sound, but the 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio is robust and was a very enjoyable experience and brought out the best sound ever, while the 5.1 sound remix is robust.
Blu-ray Special Features and Extras:
Special Feature: Oscar® Nominated Short: The Battle of Gettysburg: 'The Battle of Gettysburg' is a 1955 American documentary film about the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. The film was nominated for two Academy Awards® and the documentary was filmed in Eastmancolor entirely on location at the Gettysburg National Military Park in south-central Pennsylvania. Leslie Nielsen provides narration, while songs from the Civil War era are played in the background with the sound effects of battle. At the end of the film, Nielsen reads the Gettysburg Address. No actors appear onscreen. Dore Schary photographed memorial statues and bas-reliefs already present on battlefield from various angles and distances, and then juxtaposed the footage to suggest that the static images were actual characters taking part in a dramatic re-enactment of the battle. In some scenes, the turbulence created by an off-screen helicopter is used to press down tall grasses, suggesting the passage of invisible soldiers. Not sure why it's here, unless it played some of its engagements with the film `KISMET.'
Special Feature Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Classic Cartoon: The First Bad Man [1955] [4:3] One million years ago, back when Texas was young- real young!- cave cowboys rode through the land and lived a relatively peaceful everyday existence... doing business at the cave bank, drinking in the cave saloon, and dragging cavewomen by their hair to their cave home. In Dallas (the history of Texas goes back a long way, you know!), Dinosaur Dan (the first bad man) rides in, disrupting their cave town, robbing the cave bank, taking their cavewomen and stampeding their dinosaur cattle. The good citizens saddle up their dinosaurs to bring the varmint to cave justice. The cartoon begins and ends with the fact that the jail that they put Dinosaur Dan in stands in downtown Dallas to this very day! Much funnier and even funnier than KISMET's supporting casting, and is a cartoon about the prehistorically deep history of Texas that represents Tex Avery at his best. Again, why is it here, especially again it was only presented in standard definition.
Special Feature: Excerpt from The 'Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Parade' TV Series: Host George Murphy introduces segments from two M-G-M productions, and it features 'Mutiny on the Bounty' [1935] and the short film 'The Greatest Gift' [1942]. He then presents a few common pet peeves, dramatised by an unfortunate man, who must wait to use the only pay telephone booth around which is occupied by a very talkative woman; as a shopkeeper, who is waiting on a customer who doesn't seem to want to spend any money but causes calamity in the store; who slips on a loose rug at the top of a flight of stairs; who battles a stuck ice cube tray in a freezer; and who needs to find the burnt out bulb on a string of Christmas tree lights. George Murphy then meets with actor/singer Howard Keel, who is to appear in the upcoming M-G-M musical 'KISMET' [1955]. This is only presented in the standard definition.
Special Feature: Outtake Song "Rhymes Have I" [Audio-Only] The audio only bonus of a deleted song called "Rhymes Have I" is presented very well; especially as it has a nice colourful poster image on the screen, and in a very sharp poster like background.
Theatrical Trailers: The 1955 'KISMET' trailer stresses sex and hanky-panky at all times, even though the Code keeps everything in the film on such a hands-off basis. The 1944 'Kismet' [4:3] trailer has been included as well. As we can see, it could use some of that inspirational Borodin music, but Ronald Colman and Marlene Dietrich make a far more exotic couple.
Finally, it's a great thing that the Warner Archive Collection is now releasing Blu-rays with selected titles. The price should certainly get the attention of collectors, who are now finding that many desirable vintage titles are sold only in limited editions. And whenever I see a choice musical arrive on a Blu-ray disc, I detect the guidance of a certain well known respected Warner Bros. home video executive, is behind the decision. Seeing Dolores Gray's dazzling "sparkling" smile here in HD, I'm hoping that the Warner Archive will release a Blu-ray of the wonderful `It's Always Fair Weather.' But despite a lot of critics giving `Kismet' meagre reviews, I personally loved this film and so proud to add it to my Blu-ray Collection, as it is a glorious Technicolor Arabian journey and I know you will get a lot of enjoyment out of this Classic Hollywood Musical and has loads of marvellous memorable classic songs, that I forgot how good they were. Highly Recommended!

Worth it only for Gray
A customer
on October 31, 2003
This Vincente Minnelli has acquired a somewhat bewildering reputation almost solely because it was one of the few M-G-M musicals the fantastic Dolores Gray ever appeared in. She does have a wonderful number here in her iconic "Not Since Nineveh," where she really lets loose, but the rest of this film is so inferior you'll see almost immediately why M-G-M made so few major musicals after this disappointment. Almost everyone is miscast, even to Howard Keel who seems to be really enjoying himself immensely as Hajj even though he (and almost everyone else in the film) doesn't look in the slightest Middle Eastern. Nor does anyone else in the film, from the largely wasted here but still breathtakingly beautiful Ann Blyth to Sebastian Cabot harrumphing around as the Wazir. The only one who does is Vic Damone, who is about the worst actor ever (despite his lovely rendition of "The Night of My Life").
Worst of all, this edition from Turner Classics doesn't even bother to letterbox the Cinemascope compositions, so even despite the terribly distracting panning-and-scanning you can't see very easily who's talking to whom. This is best forgotten (unless you want to see the one number with Gray in all her oomphy glory).

Santa Ana's Joe Fletcher and the Gang That Can't Get Their Conflicts Straight

The City attorney (Joseph Fletcher) spread the Selective Conflict Disorder virus when he infected the city council by advising that it was okay to vote on projects benefiting developers who have given them money because, get this, the Supreme Court has ruled that campaign contributions are free speech.

For those who have been watching the 'pay to play' antics of the Santa Ana City Council may wish to show up at their meeting tonight at City Hall. Two items in particular have caught my eye. First is the rescission and re-vote on the reduction and suspension of fees charged to for-profit adult soccer leagues by the city. back in September the council reduced then suspended these fees, costing the city $127,488 in fees, targeted for use in developing additional artificial turf fields, over the next couple years.

This Viewpoint discusses the importance of including physical activity counseling in patient encounters and provides tools for efficiently integrating this activity into busy clinical settings.
Overwhelming evidence indicates that regular physical activity is one of the most powerful health-promoting practices that physicians and other health care professionals can recommend for patients.1 For decades, scientific research has shown that regular physical activity protects against major chronic diseases, including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease, stroke, cognitive decline, selected cancers, and even depression.1- 3 There is broad consensus within the medical and public health communities that physical activity yields wide-ranging health benefits. Moreover, no other single intervention or treatment is associated with such a diverse array of benefits.

text: OAKLAND -- Coach Dennis Allen predicted running back Lonyae Miller would be a tired guy after Monday night's exhibition opener, especially with Darren McFadden getting few carries and Mike Goodson and Taiwan Jones out with neck and hamstring injuries, respectively.So how was Miller feeling after he carried the ball a game-high 15 times for 39 yards?"I'm just thankful for the opportunity that Coach D.A. gave me and I just tried to make the most of it," Miller said. "Obviously, running the ball for these carries you're going to be tired but that's expected; it's preseason.You're out there interviewing for the job. You just have to put your best foot forward."A positive? The Raiders only had five penalties for 37 yards. And the defense wracked up two sacks, one by Tommy Kelly and the other by his protege, undrafted-free-agent rookie Dominique Hamilton.Two players did not finish the game for the Raiders -- center Stefen Wisniewski (right calf) and tight end Richard Gordon (illness). Also, offensive tackle Nick Howell and defensive end Jack Crawford were the only non-scratches to not play in the game.
