Surgeons have eliminated 27 contact lenses from the attention of a 67-12 months-old woman who had come to Solihull Health Center for routine cataract surgery.
"A bluish overseas physique" became out to be a "arduous mass" of 17 lenses caught together with mucus, and 10 more had been then discovered under additional examination.
A report in the BMJ mentioned she had worn disposable lenses for 35 years, and had now not complained of any irritation.
However after they were eliminated, she mentioned her eyes felt a lot more relaxed.
Expert trainee in ophthalmology Rupal Morjaria informed Optometry Today: "None of us have ever viewed this prior to.
"It Was any such huge mass. All Of The 17 contact lenses had been stuck collectively.
"We have been truly shocked that the patient failed to notice it because it will lead to a substantial amount of infection whereas it Was sitting there.
"She Used To Be quite Stunned. She concept her earlier ache Was just part of outdated age and dry eye."
The case file mentioned the affected person had poorer imaginative and prescient in her proper eye and deep-set eyes, which will have been a factor within the lenses being misplaced in the eye.
Affiliation of Optometrists spokeswoman Ceri Smith-Jaynes mentioned shedding contact lenses in the eye Was Once a standard problem However they usually labored their method out.
"They Are most often hiding, folded up underneath the highest lid of the attention," she said.
"They May Be Able To't go any longer up than that as a result of there's a pocket.
"It Is the same beneath the bottom lid – the lens can best be in a type of places."
Top guidelines for contact lens wearers:
- Don't put on your lenses for longer than you have been told to, and no longer for greater than Sixteen hours in a day – you will have to By No Means sleep in them
- Wash and dry your fingers sooner than placing anything else to your eye
- Never practice eye make-up earlier than hanging in contact lenses

THE European Court of Justice has confirmed what many of us have felt for years that travelling to work "is work".
I speak as someone who works largely from my home these days and I haven't commuted regularly for four years.
However, I used to live in Leicester and complete a two-hour journey on the train into central London every day.
I had a young family and missed much of their growing up just earning a living. It was brutal.

Repetto and Disney collaborate on a Cinderella collection
You may not be a princess but thanks to Repetto, you can dress like one
A dream is a wish your heart makes... until Repetto and Disney actually make it come true. An unusual (but not entirely unexpected) team-up between the ballet wear label and the fairytale experts has led to a makeover for Repetto's Cendrillon flats and tutu skirts, inspired by Cinderella.
The skirts and shoes come in adult and kid sizes, so no one misses out on being a princess. Let's face it, you still kind of want to be a princess. Even if you don't, it's hard to resist the dainty petal blue and diamante embellishments. They're everything we wished for in a ballet shoe and tutu skirt, as like Cinderella sings, "Whatever you wish for you keep," right?
There's also another skirt in black with a glass slipper motif. The collection is scheduled to drop at Repetto stores in Malaysia this March 2015, hopefully in time for the release of live-action film. Prices have not yet been announced.

{shorts shirt combo // baby new balances // rash guard old from gap – love this full body one from Tucker + Tate // saltwater sandals // european swim trunks – petit bateau // baseball tee – no longer online but joe fresh // fishy striped trunks are from caroline }
So you know how I hemmed and hawed over how Tuck was going to travel to California.
Well, it didn't happen.
Two trips canceled this year. 2014 is not looking like the year to travel for the Tuckers.
JB still has the blood clot and just two days before the trip the doctor called to tell him he was not cleared to fly. It's complete first world problems but still stinks as we were looking forward to spending time with family. On the bright side- my husband is a alive!! and we've been able to get out to the beach a bit more and currently there is nothing I'd rather watch than Tuck run all over the beach. It's like he has a job to do, people! I really wish I could know what's going on inside that head of his.
I haven't done one of these updates since 13 months but here's tuck at 15 months.
{it's really hard for me to realize I have a 15 month old! and on and on forever will be amazed I have a ___. I'm sure…}
Tuck at 15 months:
Really enjoys talking on the phone. He will talk to my sister forever. Apart from a big "heyyyyy" we're not sure what other words he is saying to her. But he has a lot to say.
He says: Ball, BYEEEE, heyyy, hi, Ni (for nina), pop pop pop, bubbbbles, Lola, dada, NO!, mommm, and momma, dog dog, and a whole lot of things I have no clue how to translate.
He is every bit an extrovert. Fascinated by every human out there. the more questionable, the better.
really really into climbing and attempting his own stunts.
loves trucks, balls and hitting balls with whatever item resembles a stick
obsessed with an avocado tool he found in the kitchen- carries it from room to room.
gives me majorly long kisses.
really likes to blow kisses with a big mmmmmmmwahhhh at the end.
getting much better in the car but still not his favorite place by any means.
Still thinks Lola is the most hilarious thing to cross the face of the earth.
And that's the run down of Tuck at 15 months! xoxo

The best oven roasted chicken is a juicy one. The biggest trick is to make sure your chicken remains moist throughout the process, so baste often! Follow these tips and tricks for a delightful and healthy meal.
Head over to your local store and pick up a whole chicken – you can garnish it as you please and then keep the bones for homemade broth. Whole30 and Paleo compliant!
Serves 4
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 40 minutes
Kitchen Gadgets
- Oven safe Baking Dish (3qt)
- Sharp knife (This is the knife set I use)
- Baster
- Optional: Meat thermometer (I do not have one, but my friend recommended this one to take away the guessing game)
- 1 whole chicken – if it is frozen, make sure to move it to the fridge a day before
- Imagine organic free range chicken broth
- Olive oil
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- Seasonings – salt, pepper, garlic salt, poultry seasoning, ect
- 20 cloves of garlic – finely chopped
- 1 bag of yellow potatoes (about 8 potatoes) – cubed
- 4-6 carrots – sliced
- 1-2 onions – chopped
- Baker's twine
*The veggies will be eaten separately so feel free to add more for a veggie packed meal
Preheat the oven to 450 °F
Prepare the Veggies
- Chop all your veggies (Onions, Carrots, Garlic, Potatoes) to your desired size. I tend to chop the carrots and onions into small squares, and get the garlic chopped as thinly as I can. I cut the potatoes into larger cubes so that I can use them to stuff the chicken and also eat them separately.
- Set the veggies in your oven safe dish – you can never have too many veggies so I recommend chopping as many as will fit into your dish. You want extra so that you can also stuff your chicken with them, and save some for later.
- Add a few whole garlic cloves to the dish if you like garlic
Garlic and Olive Oil Glaze
- Pour 3 cups of chicken broth, the minced garlic pieces, and about 1/4 cup of Olive Oil (I always end up adding more) into a pot
- Cook on medium until the mix starts to bubble and then remove from heat
- Set aside
Prepare the Chicken
- Remove all the giblets from inside the chicken and then thoroughly rinse it on the inside and outside with cold water
- Set the chicken aside and pat it down with paper towels to remove all moisture. Removing the moisture is what will allow it to get crispy
Season the Chicken (Get your hands dirty)
- Your garlic and olive oil glaze has probably cooled off by now.
- Use your hands to massage the mixture over the chicken. Try to get some of the mixture under the skin
- Pour the extra mixture into the dish and toss the veggies so they become covered in it
- Stuff the chicken with 3 sprigs of rosemary and as many veggies as you can fit in the cavity
- Tie the legs together with baker's twine. This helps keep it together while it cooks
- MORE SEASONING – Get your spices out and season the dish liberally – I sprinkle poultry seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, ground pepper all over the dish and on top of the chicken
For a 4.5 pound chicken:
- Bake in the oven at 450 °F for 10 minutes, then bring the temperature down to 375 °F for 1 hour 40 minutes.
- THE TRICK: Baste at least every 15-20 minutes, or more frequently if it looks like your chicken skin is starting to burn. I like to make a hole in the skin so that I can directly baste the meat as well – I find that this keeps the meat very moist.
- If you do not have a meat thermometer, check your meat by cutting into middle of the chicken – the white meat of the breast will cook slowest. If you cut in and the juices that run out are clear, you are done. If the juices are still pinkish, your bird needs more time. If you are using a meat thermometer, cook until the internal temperature (at the breast) is at least 165 °F. This work for me, but to be extra safe, feel free to check out more ways to tell if your bird is done
Let the chicken cool for ten minutes before carving. As you carve, use a ladle or big spoon to drench the meat with any sauce that has built up in the dish. This will add moisture and flavor to your chicken when you serve it. Save the bones for homemade broth!
Live your life & enjoy.

Explain Atticus's statement in To Kill a Mockingbird: "When a child asks you something, answer him, for goodness sakes. But don't make a production of it. Children are children...This quote comes...
Explain Atticus's statement in To Kill a Mockingbird: "When a child asks you something, answer him, for goodness sakes. But don't make a production of it. Children are children...
This quote comes in Chapter 9 and goes on to say that "Children are children, but they can spot an evasion quicker than adults..."
- print Print
- list Cite
Atticus's words actually speak for itself. It is just another way of explaining his belief that's it's always best to tell the truth and be honest with his children when they come to him for answers. Atticus's response comes after his brother, Jack, tells him that Scout had come to him with a question he decided was best left honestly unanswered.
"... she asked me what a whore-lady was..."
"Did you tell her?"
"No, I told her about Lord Melbourne." (Chapter 9)
Atticus's little lecture to his brother shows a much greater understanding of children than Jack. Atticus recognizes that a truthful answer works best with children, who can more clearly see an "evasion"--a lie--than adults. Atticus proves his point in a later chapter when Scout asks him
"What's rape?"
... He sighed and said rape was carnal knowledge of a female by force and without consent.
"Well if that's all it is why did Calpurnia dry me up when I asked her what it was?" (Chapter 14)
Atticus's direct answer, in typical legalese, is truthful and to the point--and one which was above Scout's comprehension, but which sufficiently satisfied her curiosity. She quickly went on to another subject, just as Atticus had explained to Jack.
Be honest with children at all times by telling them the truth.
As was mentioned in the previous post, Atticus gives this advice to his brother, Uncle Jack, in Chapter 9. Unlike Atticus, Uncle Jack does not have any children and does not honestly answer Scout whenever she asks him what a "whore-lady" is. Throughout the novel, Atticus is always honest with his children. They come to him with various questions and are confident that their father will tell them the truth. Atticus answers his children honestly and explains various explicit terms such as "rape" and "nigger-lover". Atticus also tells his brother that children realize when adults are lying or evading an answer. For instance, when Jem is not pleased with Nathan Radley's answer regarding why he filled the knothole of the tree with cement, he goes to Atticus for answers. Jem understands that Atticus will not lie to him and has faith in his father's honesty.

18. Street Treats: The Philosopher's Walk 哲学の道--KenFollowing our great lunch at JyunSei we took a long, slow walk up the Path of Philosophy (哲学の道 Tetsugaku no Michi) in northern Higashiyama. It's a beautiful walk, under arching trees, alongside a canal, past several of the important temples and shrines in that area. The walk itself was our afternoon goal, but I still wanted to make it to Ginkakuji (The Silver Pavilion) before the rain came, or the sun went down, whichever came first.
Luckily there were no crowds at all, just a few other walkers along the way. We paused to take a lot of pictures, and poked around a dozen stores selling handmade silk, ceramics, paintings, or other chotchkes.
Kathryn learned the hard way that Aquarius (the vending machine beverage) is not water. (I drank that one.)
Near the nothern end of our walk, we found a sidewalk shop making making my favorite kind of cinnamon tile cookies (Yatuhashi, 八ツ橋 ?). I almost cannot not buy them when I see them. These were a little thicker than the ones at Kiyumizu-dera, and a little more irregular (in a good way). I watched the old couple going through the steps they must have done a million times: flattening the dough, cutting, shaping on the hot iron, cooling. I've eaten these on every trip to Kyoto, but seeing them working, well into retirement age, this is the first time I've wondered and hoped that there would be someone to take their place if they couldn't continue--an heir to the cinnamon tile cookie throne. I suppose all there is to do is buy some and enjoy them now.
Me with the Cinnamon Tile Cookie Man (Yatuhashi-ya?).
These chestnuts dot the food displays all around at this time of year.
There were some cinnamon cookies here.
We didn't try these but we saw them here and in Arashiyama.

Schlumberger To Buy Smith International In $11B Deal
Schlumberger Ltd. (SLB) will acquire Smith International (SII) for about $11 billion in an all-stock deal that is the year's largest acquisition and will make Schlumberger by far the world's biggest oilfield services company.
The deal, which the companies announced Sunday, will cement Schlumberger's position atop the oil-services industry, which helps oil producers locate and drill for oil deposits. After the deal, Schlumberger, already the biggest company in the sector by revenue and market value, would have revenues double that of its nearest rival, Halliburton Co. (HAL), although most analysts expect Schlumberger to sell some assets for antitrust or other reasons.
Under the terms of the deal, Smith shareholders will receive 0.6966 Schlumberger share for each Smith share they own--a 37.5% premium over Smith's share price on Thursday, when news of the deal was first reported. The deal, which must still be approved by shareholders of both companies, is expected to close in the second half of this year. Smith shareholders would own about 12.8% of the combined company.
The $11 billion price tag, which values Smith at $44.51 per share based on Friday's close, was higher than most analysts expected. Dan Pickering, an analyst for energy-focused investment bank Tudor Pickering Holt & Co., said some Schlumberger shareholders might also have preferred a cash-and-stock deal to an all-stock deal. But he said the deal makes sense for Schlumberger, which will now be able to package Smith's products with its own services to win more business.
"The deal makes sense operationally," Mr. Pickering said. "It's a bit more than I would have expected from a price perspective."
Markets had a mixed reaction to news of a possible deal on Friday. Smith shares jumped 13%, or $4.35, to $37.70, while Schlumberger's fell 2.9%, or $1.91, to $63.90, both in 4 p.m. trading Friday on the New York Stock Exchange.
Goldman Sachs & Co. advised Schlumberger on the deal. Smith was advised by UBS Investment Bank.
A Schlumberger-Smith pairing has long been the subject of rumors in the industry. The companies already work together closely through a jointly owned drilling fluids business, M-I Swaco, and Smith's top two executives--CEO John Yearwood and Chief Financial Officer William Restrepo--are former Schlumberger executives. The two sides came close to finalizing a deal at different times last year, only to have it fall apart over price considerations, said people familiar with the matter.
Acquiring Smith will make Schlumberger, which maintains headquarters in Houston, Paris and The Hague in the Netherlands, a major player in one of the few areas of the industry where it didn't already have a significant presence: manufacturing drilling bits. It will also give Schlumberger complete ownership over M-I Swaco, the drilling fluids business that has been jointly owned by the two companies since 1999.
"Smith's drilling technologies, other products and expertise complement our own, while the geographical footprint of Schlumberger means we can extend our joint offerings worldwide," Schlumberger Chairman and CEO Andrew Gould said in a statement Sunday.
Mr. Gould said the merger will result in savings of about $160 million in 2011 and $320 million in 2012. The company declined further comment.
The Schlumberger-Smith deal is the latest in a series of mergers in the sector as oil services companies seek scale. In May, Weatherford International Ltd. agreed to pay close to $500 million for the oil services business of the Russian oil company TNK-BP. In August, Baker Hughes Inc. agreed to buy smaller rival BJ Services Inc. for about $5.5 billion; that deal is expected to close later this year.
A wide breadth of services offerings and financial size have become increasingly important for services companies, which help oil companies locate and drill for oil deposits. As more and more of the world's oil is produced overseas, the industry's customers are increasingly state-run oil companies, which often prefer to work with companies that can offer a full range of products and services.
Big companies like Schlumberger are also taking advantage of weakness in their smaller rivals. The entire industry has struggled recently as global demand for energy has fallen, leading to less drilling for oil and gas. But Schlumberger's size and geographic diversity have helped the company weather the economic storm better than many competitors. That, combined with the company's $4.6 billion in cash and short-term investments as of Dec. 31, have prompted speculation that Schlumberger could snap up weaker rivals. Smith's profits fell 80.7% in 2009 from 2008.
Just last month, Mr. Gould told investors that the company was "still are actively pursuing opportunities in acquisitions."
The acquisition, Schlumberger's largest ever, sparked speculation that rivals such as Halliburton, Baker Hughes (BHI) and Weatherford (WFT) could be forced to make their own moves to keep up. But Mr. Pickering said he didn't see the deal setting off a wave of mergers.
"I don't think it alters the landscape in such a dramatic fashion that it forces folks to quickly and dramatically react," Mr. Pickering said.
But the deal could raise antitrust issues. U.S. authorities have yet to sign off on Baker Hughes' acquisition of BJ Services (BJS), even though the companies are in almost entirely different segments of the oil business. Analysts have said antitrust concerns will probably force Schlumberger to sell Smith's PathFinder Energy Services business, which helps evaluate oil reservoirs.
Schlumberger spokesman Stephen Whittaker said the companies don't anticipate antitrust problems.
The two companies have dealt with antitrust issues before. In 1999, the companies paid a combined $14.6 million for violating a 1994 anti-trust consent order in which Smith agreed not to sell its drilling fluids business to certain companies, including Schlumberger. When Smith and Schlumberger merged their drilling fluids businesses in 1999, a judge ruled they had violated the 1994 agreement.

LEO Privacy Guard – AppLock
Price: Free
Android App Review by AndroidAppsReview.com
Because of the leniency that Android gives us, as far as developmental controls are concerned, we as Google users have an extreme opportunity to secure, protect, and hide our sensitive data. Far more than any iOS user, we can make sure our stuff is tucked neatly under a rug when needed.
With all the apps out there that want to help you lock down your phone, which one is best?
Beyond a doubt LEO Privacy Guard is the absolute best way we've found so far to secure your Android phone and all its information.
It's simple to install, even easier to use, and provides a gigantic wealth of privacy options. Best of all, you can download it completely free today.
So if you're interested, then skip on down below the break for our full review! Starting with:
Concept and Functionality
As you might expect following that intro, LEO Privacy Guard, from Leomaster, is primarily interested in helping you keep what's yours to your eyes only.
This can be important for a number of reasons: If you have a snooping significant other, you might want to lock down your texts and emails. Or, perhaps the snooper isn't a loved one but a coworker.
Maybe you just want to make sure your apps aren't tampered with by accident. Or, maybe you just want to make sure your applications are backed up in case of an emergency.
No matter what you need, LEO Privacy Guard is here to help. The application focuses on security in a broader sense than most, which is absolutely something we appreciate.
For instance, consider the following:
With only a click, you can completely lock down all of your applications in one go. That's very handy, but you are also free to pop them individually. That means your SMS messages can be withheld in the blink of an eye, should it be needed.
But with on-device data storage backups, you can also feel secure in the fact that those apps are completely bullet-proof. Should something happen to your Facebook installation, you can pull it all back in an instant. That means no more worrying on any front, which easily makes LEO Privacy Guard worth a look.
Design and Interface
Usually with these kinds of applications, we expect a certain level of compromise to be involved. The app might look a little less than spectacular, but in return we get a great product. But with LEO Privacy Guard, you don't have to pick and choose.
Everything you'd want out of a security app is gloriously laid out in an eye-pleasing manner here.
The buttons are bright, the interface is simple to manage, and the feature section simply could not be more efficient. It takes only a second to get into the app and achieve the desired security results.
Better still, this really is one of the best interfaces we have ever seen on the platform. At the very least, it's a pleasure to behold.
Overall Value
At the end of the day, LEO Privacy Guard offers a stellar service that will be well-appreciated by those in need. If you've been waiting for a nifty way to hide your content, secure your media, or just hold a little piece of mind, then LEO Privacy Guard is your main man.
The app is available for free in the Google Play Store, making it an ideal snatch for the average user today!
LEO Privacy Guard – AppLock requires Android version 4.0+. A small expedite fee was paid to speed up the publication of this review.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'General DISH™ Discussion' started by MattN03, Aug 12, 2012.
Is there a way to copy shows to a PC from our 625 DVR?
Copying files could be done on any Linux PC or by any Windows driver/program what support EXT2/EXT3 partitions; but the files are encrypted and no one will tell you how to play these.
Perhaps you could write a letter to dish SW Dept ?
Copy? No. What you would need would be a capture card with coax or rca inputs and record in real time during playback from the receiver.
Duh ? It's Linux drive after all. Educate by yourself.
The bottom line is the "files" are useless unless played on the receiver that recorded them - so there is really no point in copying them (nor bothering DISH for instructions they will not give).
Dubbing (as Gary suggested) is the only way of making the content play on a PC (or other device).
You need to be less tech and more help.
Perhaps quoting OP's post will expalin what he asked ? He didn't ask for more what was suggested here. Seems I did help him, but you.
Is there a way to copy shows to a PC from our 625 DVR?
BTW, discussion posters is against the site rules.
How does copying unplayable files help the OP? How does suggesting contacting DISH for decryption help the OP? DISH will not give instructions on how to break their encryption.
If the OP wants to play content from his 625 on his PC garys' post is the answer.
Even if you wanted to get all nit-picky and literal... the OP did ask how to copy "shows"... not "files"...
If he copies the files, he will absolutely NOT have his shows... because to be a show they would need to be capable of being shown... which they would not, due to the encryption.
Thus... in order to copy the "shows" garys gave the only known way to accomplish this.
garys is the mind reader and all of you ... perhaps OP will shine ?
My job is customer service, which includes to an extent to read their minds. Most people want to solve their problems with the easiest method and do not want to be educated to something that doesn't work. I base my answers here on this. If the OP wants the info on what can be a costly and time consuming project, I will then help with what info I can. Since the OP is currently using a 625, I gave the answer I believe the OP wants.
Thanks everyone. It doesn't sound like there is an "easy" way to copy the files.
We all expecting your detailing post - what you try to achieve exactly ?!
But you just add fuel to the bickering - and seems I was right - it was a request to provide description of "way to copy the files". See my answer in post#2.
Dubbing is the only way to get viewable files.
Copying unviewable files is pointless.
If you want to try what I suggested, look into products from Elgato or Hauppauge or do a google search under TV tuner for PC or Mac. A lot of these will work via coax, rca and s-video connections, and are fairly inexpensive and easy to use, it just real time to record them. Copying files will not remove encryption Dish has in place and to me is not worth it when you can't view them anyway.
I think our world will be doomed, if OP will do copy of these files and will discovered something what no one allowed to know.
Except maybe for backup purposes.
How I forgot the aspect of copying files ? Duh !
Arnt we all forgetting about PocketDish??? A PocketDish will copy any recording from a 625 and will allow you to play those recordings on the PocketDish, as well as transfer them back to the 625 if you deleted them. Once the files are on the PocketDish you can move them to PC/laptop/flashdrive or anything w/ a Harddrive to 'save' said files for later. Of course they can ONLY be viewed on either the PocketDish or the 625, and when moving the files to, lets say a flashdrive, make sure to move all files associated w/ said recording. Small recordings, 1/2 hr 1 hr shows are usually in 1 file, but larger ones, like a football game are broken up into 2-3 files w/ the following file extensions: .dpd .dp0 and another .dp that I can't recall at the moment. Unlike w/ external Harddrive's on todays HD rcvrs, the Pocketdish merely copied recordings leaving the original entact on the DVR. PocketDish won't copy HD recordings and I can't even get it to copy ANY file from my 722 or 922 no matter whether its and HD or SD recording or even an E.A. or W.A. recording (some have suggested EA recordings take up more file space than WA ones). PocketDish was designed for SD DVRs like the 625, 522, etc. PocektDish is no longer in production but can be easily obtained from ebay or amazon.

Fn-F3: switch LCD or external monitor
Fn-F4: mute sound
Fn-F5: volume down
Fn-F6: volume up
Fn-F7: suspend to RAM
Fn-F10: suspend to disk
There is a kernel driver to turn these hotkeys into ACPI events, as well as a
script to do the actual functions at
http://www.netlab.cs.tsukuba.ac.jp/~yokota/izumi/panasonic_acpi/. There is an
alternate version at http://www.da-cha.org/letsnote/. As of Nov. 23, 2006,
there is no package in Fedora Core or Extras containing this driver or the
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora Core 6 (i386)
How reproducible:
Attempt to use any of the Fn hotkey sequences
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press Fn-F1 (decrease screen brightness)
Actual results:
Nothing happens
Expected results:
Decreased screen brightness
Additional info:
The driver is labeled for Panasonic "Let's Note" laptops, but also works with
the Toughbook (CF-51 at least).
Package request for pcc-acpi kernel module and associated utilities.
This request was miscategorized. I moved the request to the Fedora Wishlist
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/WishList where some developer
may pick it up.
Closing this bug as NOTABUG as it is not a package review bug.

GOP Health Plan Would Hit Rural Areas Hard
Poor, older Americans would see largest increase in insurance-coverage costs, analysis shows
The House Republican effort to overhaul the Affordable Care Act could hit many rural areas particularly hard, according to a new analysis, sharply increasing the cost for some residents buying their own insurance.
In extreme cases, the amount a consumer might owe for a plan could exceed that person's annual income. In Nebraska's Chase County, a 62-year-old currently earning about $18,000 a year could pay nearly $20,000 annually to get health-insurance coverage under the House GOP plan—compared with about $760 a year that...


text: I had an interview with the Ground for a seasonal package handler on the 4th, and I was being told hiring start around the 20th something, but now it's 26th, and I haven't heard anything from them since. I believe season starts in November. Are they finishing up for the hiring seasonal handlers already? Should I give them a call on Monday?

WTA Bell Challenge: Christina McHale ousts eighth seed Caroline Garcia
Eighth seed Caroline Garcia missed out on a quarter-final spot at the Bell Challenge after losing to Christina McHale.
Last Updated: 12/09/13 12:14pm
Garcia raced through the first set but missed out on wrapping up the victory as McHale won the tiebreak.
And with the momentum now in her favour, McHale went on to win 2-6 7-6 (9-7) 6-3 in two hours 12 minutes.
McHale will now face the in-form Polona Hercog in the last eight. Hercog ousted top seed Kirsten Flipkens in the first round and the Slovenian maintained her impressive form with a 6-0 6-2 rout of Julie Coin.
Marina Erakovic, the sixth seed, also enjoyed an emphatic straight-sets victory as she beat Barbora Zahlavova Strycova 6-2 6-1.
Fifth-seeded Eugenie Bouchard did not have it all her own way in her first-round tussle with Sofia Arvidsson but eventually won 6-1 2-6 7-6 (7-0) to set up a clash with qualifier Sesil Karatantcheva.
Andrea Hlavackova was pushed all the way by Anastasia Rodionova in the first two sets of their first-round encounter, but dominated the third en route to a 7-6 (7-3) 5-7 6-1 win.
Also in round one, Petra Martic toppled Lucie Hradecka 6-4 7-6 (7/1).

While handing over the letter, officials warned her never to turn up in college in a salwar-kameez again. �Women teachers here are allowed to take classes in saris only,� she was told.
Smita argued that she be allowed to wear the dress, as it was �perfectly decent� and something she was comfortable in. The authorities refused to listen to her. �Follow the dress code or look for a job elsewhere,� they told her bluntly. Smita attended college, in a sari, for a few weeks. Then, unable to bear the coercive dress clause, she quit.
In a throwback to the infamous Ashutosh College incident, in which then principal Subhankar Chakraborty had hauled up a student for being dressed in a salwar-kameez, the spotlight is now on the dress code at South Calcutta Girls� College.
Investigations revealed that �at least half-a-dozen� part-time teachers at the college have quit their jobs in protest against the �unwritten dress diktat�, making it mandatory for all women faculty members to wear saris to class.
After Smita, other applicants, too, have been tripped by the sari bar and pleaded in vain to stick to their sartorial choice.
Principal Kabita Sarkar, however, is determined to stick to �tradition�. The college authorities, in fact, are planning to make it official by including the sari clause in their rule book.
�It is common knowledge that a woman teacher in our college must come to class in a sari. Some part-time teachers have tried to break tradition, but they have failed. If anybody is willing to work in our college, she must wear a sari on the college premises. We have followed this system ever since the college was opened in 1932 and we will continue to follow it,� Sarkar said on Friday.
The principal was �sympathetic� towards those who were not comfortable in saris. �We have earlier taken a liberal view to some teachers not accustomed to wearing a sari. We relaxed the rule for them, allowing them to enter college in salwar-kameez and then changing into saris before entering class. Don�t you think this was liberal enough ?� demanded Sarkar.
But some younger part-time teachers dismissed this as �absurd� and said �it�s better to come to college in a sari than to change before going to class�.
A teacher of the college, on condition of anonymity,� added: �It is indeed unfortunate that we have to follow this kind of a dress code in the 21st Century. We find it difficult to accept it, but we have to follow the rules to keep our jobs.�
The controversy has reached the CPM-controlled West Bengal College and University Teachers� Association (WBCUTA). �We will not tolerate such Taliban-like rules. We are looking into the complaints and will take up the matter,� announced Shyamapada Pal, WBCUTA leader and senior member of the CU Syndicate.
For the past three months, Chatterjee and many more have been turning to a new weapon to win the puff war. Bupropione hydrochloride, the molecule and main ingredient of a new medication that claims to help smokers quit, was introduced in the city this August. Over 400 smokers have taken to it, armed with prescriptions from doctors.
With the chief minister�s daughter reportedly wanting him to quit the puff, Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee could well be the next smoker to try out the pill. The Association of Chest Physicians plans to meet him soon. �Who else could set a better example of a smoker who has quit than the chief minister himself?� asked A.G. Ghoshal, the Association�s state president.
�The Calcutta smoking problem is a hard nut to crack,� admitted a senior manager of one of the three companies to have fired the new smoking-cessation weapon. Surveys have shown that smoking here is �a complex problem� and could be tougher to tackle than in other metros.
But city pulmonologists and chest physicians are optimistic. �For years, self-motivation and pressure from relatives at home and colleagues in office, backed by medical advice, have been the means to fight the habit,� said Ghoshal, professor and head of the department of chest medicine, SSKM Hospital. �Now, we have medication that could prove to be the battle tank in the war.�
Ghoshal has prescribed bupropione hydrochloride to 15 patients and is keeping a tab on 12 of them. �The others could be dropouts or could be continuing the medication at home. But it is too early to draw any conclusions on the success of the drug. The course lasts for eight to 12 weeks, and unless a period of at least a year passes, one cannot arrive at a conclusion.�
With the Supreme Court banning smoking in public places and the state government working on a legislation along the same lines, chest specialist P.S. Bhattacharya�s smoking-cessation clinic has become a big draw. Complete with psychologist and counsellor, the Phoolbagan centre started prescribing the drug in August. Among the 100 patients here is CPM trade union leader Chittabrata Majumdar.
�I am serious about the anti-smoking movement, maintaining detailed records of as many patients as possible for one full year,� says Bhattacharya. Till now, the success rate has been high. Before prescribing the drug, he checks out the history of the patient. �There could be side effects, like nausea and stomach upset, and knowing the patient�s history helps eliminates that.�
The drug companies say one should be off alcohol during the period of medication and, preferably, a few months more. �Many people associate smoking with drinking,� explains an official of Glaxo Smithkline, one of the three companies to have introduced bupropione hydrochloride under the trade name Zyban.
The other two companies are Cipla (Nicotex) and Solaris Pharma (Smoquit). At Rs 40 a tablet, Zyban is the costliest but boasts of having been �clinically tested in the West�, where it was first introduced in 1999.
The dialogue between Pramod Mahajan and Tapan Sikdar � during the video-conference to inaugurate Calcutta Telephone�s mobile service in Calcutta � wasn�t supposed to begin like this. But as minister of state Tapan Sikdar struggled to get through to his senior colleague in Delhi, an impatient Mahajan deviated from the script.
It was around 3.30 pm that Sikdar was asked to �make history�at the function to launch CalTel�s mobile service.
But history, delayed by several months following BSNL�s failure to keep its own promised launch dates, had to wait for five more minutes as first Sikdar, and then senior BSNL officials, tried to connect with Mahajan.
The heavyweight BJP leader, up on the large video screen, grew fidgety and blurted out the words that went down as the first spoken during the video-conference. Guffaws and titters from the audience later, BSNL officials finally managed to get Sikdar on line with Mahajan.
�Humne hi jaan bujhke connect nahin kiya kyonki cameramen aa nahin rahe the (I deliberately asked officials here not to connect the line as the media crew was yet to arrive),� said Mahajan, trying to retrieve the situation.
The goof-up notwithstanding, the public response to the new cellphone in town was �overwhelming�, said BSNL officials. Marketing agents from all over Calcutta said they were being �flooded with enquiries�.
An agent operating from an outlet near Deshapriya Park said he had already � within an hour of the launch at 3 pm � given nine pre-paid card connections. Another from Burrabazar said he had sold five by 4 pm.
But some problems remained; potential subscribers calling the �favoured� marketing agents � some of whom, for example, have been given agencies in both Serampore and Tollygunge or in both Burrabazar and Kidderpore � faced a lot of trouble getting through to the right marketing agent of their area, officials admitted. �But the confusion will get cleared after some time,� they said.
Officials, however, fear some serious �teething trouble�, with BSNL operating 66 base stations, as opposed to Spice and Command who have over a 100 each.
�There may be some problems in the beginning. That is why we have given free airtime of 45 days,� said Sikdar. �And prices will decrease, not increase,� he promised.
�Gerard Hemsworth, professor of fine art, Goldsmiths College, London, came up with the name Sidewinder, which, in these turbulent times, should be viewed as an artistic missile,� said Rakhi Sarkar, executive director of Centre of International Modern Art (CIMA), on Friday. �We are fortunate that Gerard agreed to curate and select the painters while Suhail Malik, course leader, also from Goldsmiths College, will edit the book being brought out on the occasion,� she added. The month-long residency will include travel, lectures, seminars, workshops, heritage walks, video shows, teaching sessions and, of course, exhibitions. And it will take artists on a discovery of India � New Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta, Bhubaneswar, Konarak and Santiniketan.
Standing by CIMA in the endeavour to expand artistic horizons are The British Council, Goldsmiths College of London and Gold Flake Expressions, ITC. David Evans, first secretary, cultural affairs, British Council, said: �The international mixing will definitely help evolve different styles but what�s more important, perhaps, is the beginning of relationships,� he said.
Participating artists have been chosen from a wide spectrum � freshers like Suhasini Kejriwal and �people with sensibilities in the right places� like Jogen Chowdhury and Subodh Gupta. Also showcasing their works will be Atul Dodiya, Bharti Kher, Bob and Roberta Smith, David Mabb, Kabir Mohanty, Michael Raedecker, Ravinder G. Reddy, Jemima Stehli and Mark Wallinger.
On filmmaker Mohanty finding a place among the painters, Sarkar said: �Art is no longer canvas-bound. It is multi-media, which is why we have included Mohanty, a brilliant video art-maker, whose works are spellbinding. In fact, we will screen one of his latest films on the inaugural day in Calcutta.�
CIMA also plans to launch a website and a daily tabloid for Sidewinder, from December 14 to January 16. The tabloid and the site will contain coverage of daily events for the benefit of those attending the various sessions. And this is just the beginning � Sidewinder promises to be back once every three years.
Subhas pitch for flyover, night busesSix months into his second term as transport minister, Subhas Chakraborty plans to push through several pet projects at the next Cabinet meeting on November 29.
�The Cabinet is set to clear a Rs 60-crore flyover between Vivekananda Road and Posta, in north Calcutta,� said Chakraborty on Friday. He is also set to introduce night-long bus services from December 1.
Chakraborty is reviving plans to introduce high-speed trams between Joka and Esplanade and between Howrah and Sealdah.

While almost all software-training majors have registered a fall in sign-ups and a dip in net profits, the Rs 5-crore training outfit has been able to hold on to its student base and is even launching a new programme exclusively for housewives.
The demand from this segment, says Mondal, is growing by the day. Many turn up just for the heck of it, but then take to it with a passion. Others are serious from the outset, more often than not spinning a small business out of their new-found skills.
For the Calcutta-headquartered 15-year-old interior designing institute, with centres in Bangalore, Kozhikode, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kochi, Mumbai, Dhaka, Kathmandu and San Diego, the trickle of inquiries about the course has grown into a flood over the past few months.
�I have selected this programme over other available vocational options because after this one-year diploma, I can even start off something on my own, without bothering much about the capital expenditure,� says Sweta Dugar, a college student.
The institute helps students who are keen to be their own boss. �We have a consultancy wing, where we receive plenty of projects and pass on some of them to our students,� explains Mondal.
The course covers all contemporary aspects of interior design and d�cor, with specialisation in fine arts, landscape, Vaastu and auto cad. Students are exposed to the �latest techniques required for effective interior designing�.
Alka Poddar, a student of the institute, looking forward to a career in interior designing, said: �Use of IT for effective interior designing gives an edge to the programme, which helps students in getting placements even in big companies.�
Besides a real-world, three-month exposure for its students, the institute also boasts of a �100 per cent placement record�. According to Ashish Mitra, managing director, Exterior-Interiors, students with �a proper knowledge of interior designing� are always in demand in the industry.
�The need for redesigning and refurbishing interiors for optimum utilisation of space always exists in modern society. Besides, people have become conscious about aesthetics and environmental issues these days. So, the demand for well-trained interior designers has grown.�
Mitra backs his hypothesis with numbers: �The major components of the interiors industry, like paint, switch and tiles, have performed consistently over the years. They are booking an average growth of around 10 per cent even during this period of slowdown.�
According to Mondal, success stories of former students have inspired many of the current lot to opt for interior designing as a career. Students, who spend Rs 30,000 for the one-year diploma programme, start their career with initial salary levels ranging from Rs 3,500 to Rs 6,000. Students also apply for further studies in universities abroad, with help from the institute.
Antony Young, CEO, Zenith Media, Asia, said on Friday: �Despite all the doom and gloom, we remain optimistic. Though there is a general slowdown, India remains high on our agenda. We expect the major drivers of growth in our Asia operations to be India, China and Japan.�
Young, on a two-day trip to Calcutta as part of his tour of the company�s five offices in the country, addressed Ad Club members on Friday. Besides Calcutta, Zenith has branches in Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and Delhi.
In Calcutta, the company has roped in �seven new ones� in the past one year. �Despite the shrinking business opportunities in the city, the company will remain focused here,� pledged Young.
The two-year-old Indian wing of the global agency, which counts ITC, LML, Nokia and Hyundai Motors among its clients, had done business worth Rs 300 crore last year and expects to touch Rs 500 crore by 2003. According to Young, the projections are �realistic�, given the company�s growth of over 60 per cent last year.
�The explosion of media opportunities, opening up of economies, government deregulation and the competitive pressure in the marketplace have made media planning absolutely necessary to stay focused and control costs,� explained Young.
With an increase in the media and consequent fragmentation in target audience, campaign development is a complex process today. �Here, the role of media agencies assumes importance,� said Young.
The entire area between Hastings and Kudghat falls under the jurisdiction of the police. Senior police officials will meet the government officials at the Writers� Buildings on Saturday to chalk out the strategy about the proposed eviction drive.
The government has decided not to compensate those living illegally along the Nullah, said a senior official of the urban development department.
Urban development minister Asok Bhattacharya said that the government was determined to clean the Nullah and will not allow unauthorised settlers to stay any longer. �About 300 unauthorised settlers are living on the stretch between Hastings and Kudghat and we will have to evict them�, the minister informed.
Interestingly, Subrata Mukherjee, mayor of the Trinamul Congress-run Calcutta Municipal Corporation (CMC) told Bhattacharya that the CMC was ready to help the government in carrying out the second phase of the eviction drive.
Mukherjee had antagonised the Trinamul supremo Mamata Banerjee by supporting the government-sponsored eviction drive in October.
While Mamata and some of her party leaders had opposed the drive and organised a blockade at the eviction site near Garia, Mukherjee was even ready to supply bulldozers to the state government for demolishing the unauthorised constructions.
The CMC is, reportedly, interested in carrying out the drive to obtain a loan of Rs 1,700 crore from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for development of 46 wards under the CMC.
Some political parties and local organisations had demanded rehabilitation of those evicted from the Tolly�s Nullah during the first part of October. But the government has not yielded to the pressure. The government intends sticking to its original policy.
Bhattacharya added that it was impossible for the government to rehabilitate those living illegally along the Tolly�s Nullah between Hastings and Kudghat.
The irrigation department is now busy desilting the portion of the Nullah from Tollygunge to Garia where the state government had evicted unauthorised settlers in October.
The trio has been pitted against players rated way above but preparation has been done keeping that in mind, and staying solid with the black pieces is perhaps one common point. While Surya and Nisha are going without great expectations, a sense of purpose is evident in what Barua says.
�A total player with strong openings and positive tactics, like me,� said Barua of his French rival Joel Lautier. A naturally aggressive player yet to do anything major at the highest level, Calcutta�s only Grandmaster feels he has never been better prepared.
There has been an upward swing in his performance of late, and the player thinks he has become more �solid�. �I have worked a lot on my opening and would like to ensure I stay even with Lautier in that area,� Barua said of his homework.
Barua has never gone past the first round in three attempts. He lost to Lautier in their only encounter in Biel in 1993 but, now it seems, he feels he has a point to prove. �Obviously it�s not a record I am proud of and I am trying to set it right.�
A little bit of awe while fine-tuning technique and tactics has been difficult to ignore for the other two. Surya has drawn the toughest opponent among Indians with former champion Alexander Khalifman awaiting him in Kremlin Palace. Nisha faces another Russian in Tatiana Stepovaia-Diachenko.
�He has 17 solutions to what I can offer and I haven�t been able to revise all,� admits Surya. The 18-year-old has not touched the aspects he is good at and mainly worked on openings. �It�s pointless trying to find flaws in his game, I have to stay solid and ensure there are no errors.� Like Barua, his sparring partner in recent times, Surya�s primary plan is not to concede advantage in the early stage of the game.
Nisha has found similarities with her opponent though she has never played against Tatiana.
�There is a balance of attack and positional play in her approach. Having studied many of her games, I think I can cross the first round,� the 21-year-old said. Indians have rarely gone past the first round since the Fide (world governing body of the game) introduced the knockout format in 1998.
Bhagwan Das Kothari, of 9, Sovaram Basak Street, in the Regent Park area, came forward to furnish the surety amount of Rs 10,000 for Swati. She had to wait for a long time to walk free, as Bharati Ghosh, deputy superintendent of CID, interrogated her parents for over seven hours on their plans for Swati. �I don�t know what she will do now. I only want to take her to a safe place,� said Sudhir Pal, Swati�s father.

We Want You To Tell Us What To Talk AboutMay 27, 2011 | Madagasca | 12 Comments
You're strolling down the street and walk past your local games store. You notice a game that takes your fancy and think about buying it – but hang on, you're the extra cautious type that won't part with your money that easily.
Before the guy in the game store robs you of your hard earned cash (or your parent's hard earned cash), you decide to check out the game online, to see what everyone's saying about it. This way you get to learn whether your cash was either well spent, or dumped down the drain.
Reviews. One word that makes all the difference. The one word that decides whether you keep your money safely where it belongs or whether you hand it over the counter and get your shiny new game in a cheap plastic bag.
I love reading reviews, and more often, I love writing them. However, there's always that one question I keep asking myself – what do the readers want to read about when we're reviewing a game?

What a vampire is? A creature that feeds from
the life essence of other living
things (usually blood) in order
to stay vital. Vlad Tepes Elizabeth Báthory Real
Facts Vampire Timeline Dayana Jimenez Giraldo Literature Films Lilith John Haigh Legend about 1976 1985 1988 1992 1995 1998 2000 2001 2002 2003 1897 1872 • According to Hebrew literature,
Lilith was Adan's first wife. •She traveled the world and
found the knowledge, freedom
and power that allowed her
to be equal to its Creator. •She left the paradise and refuge in a cave
on the coast of the Red Sea. •Was called Mother of Demons, by accepting
the demons of the world as lovers, and give
birth many thousands of demon children. •Posthumously dubbed Vlad the Impaler. •The name of the vampire Count
Dracula in Bram Stoker's
1897 novel Dracula
was inspired by
Vlad's. •Vlad hated more than
anything, theft, lying, adultery,
and didn't forgive anyone for
their rank, indeed, the higher
the rank of the traitor, was harder
punishment. •Amputation of limbs,
nose and ears, eyes
removing hooks, the
strangling, the bonfire,
castration, skinning,
exposure to wild animals,
the grill and the slow
destruction of breasts
and genitals , especially
women. •Her mothership advise
bathing in damsel blood,
would keep her young
and beautiful. •Bathory went away in his chariot, looking
for damsels that once in the castle, were chained
and stabbed by an executioner, a servant or
herself, while victims bled and filled
her bathtub. •At the end of the bloodbath, she
ordered her servants to lick her
skin in order to prevent coarse
fibers of the towel disturb the
'treatment'. •Báthory sadistic crimes had lasted
about ten years. •When he belonged to the church
choir, he spent hours looking at a
bleeding Christ dying on the cross. •He drank the
blood of his
victims and
dissolved the
bodies in sulfuric
acid which then
threw to the
pipe. •Known as The
acid bath murder. •I was ten. I was wounded
in the hand with a hairbrush,
with metallic hairs. I licked
the blood flowing, and
mixed something in
my whole being.
That thing viscose,
warm and salty that I was
sipping from the skin deep was life itself. It
was a revelation that obsessed me for years. The coincidence,
then, it makes me back through centuries of civilization, a fabulous time
in which people were used to get power from human blood. I
discovered that I belonged to the race of vampires. Why?
Why just me? I could not explain it. I can only tell
what I felt. •One of the first vampire stories
to be written, forerunner of
many successful literary works. •Laura's life takes a turn when, in front
of the castle where they lived, a carriage
has an accident and the lady and her
daughter who were traveling on it,
they settled in the castle until
they could resume the trip. •Should also be noted that the subtle influence
of erotic content, which is related to vampires,
is about lesbianism. Sheridan Le Fanu took that
topic, a taboo for the time, but he knew how to
raise it so that the reader of the time was closer
to it. •Le Fanu was based on the
legendary true story of the
beautiful Elizabeth Báthory
to create the beautiful
Carmilla. •The novel consists
in a series of documents,
mostly diaries of the characters.
But nonetheless, do not omit the
opinions, feelings
and sentiments of
their respective
authors. •It all begins when Jonathan Harker
must travel to Transylvania to visit
Count Dracula to close sales with him,
becoming a guest there, and after a
few days he realizes his strange manners,
leaving him hostage in the castle of the
Count, which is a mean and
ruthless being. •Presents topics
such as the role
of women in the
Victorian era,
sexuality, immigration
and colonialism. •One of the conditions
to be chosen as a vampire is usually their physical beauty,
which once they are given the "gift" is increased by it. •Are affected a lot by sunlight,
the younger the greater the
effect on them. •Although becoming vampires, bloodlust
don't force them to kill. They have the ability to feed on animals,
but always be living blood. •Will remain undisturbed by the passage
of eternity, will heal any injury. •They cry blood, similarly, when they
sweat also bleed from their pores. •Nosferatu, eine Symphonie
des Grauens was the original title
of this silent film that stood the
vampire in the film industry. •As the
first vampire
movie, it is evident
that this being is more a
monster than anything
else, and the fact to
be an undead and
sleep in a coffin,
looks less dynamic,
almost as stiff.
Likewise gestures
show a less
romantic and
sensual face
expression, which
we as viewers focus more
on the story that the
eroticism of the
vampire. •Based on the novel by
Bram Stoker. •Before becoming a vampire,
Count Dracula was Prince
Vlad, who upon hearing the
death of his beloved sold his
soul to the devil. Thus
time passed until four
centuries later, in London,
finds Mina, the
reincarnation of his old love. Without
doubting will create an ambitious plan
to go in search and recover her. •The film received four Oscar nominations in
1992, for which won three: Best Costume
Design, Best Makeup and Best
Sound Editing. •The film focuses on Lestat
and Louis, beginning with
Louis' transformation into
a vampire by Lestat in 1791.
The film chronicles their time
together, and their turning
of a twelve-year-old girl,
Claudia, into a vampire.
The narrative is framed by
a present day interview, in
which Louis tells his story
to a San Francisco reporter. •The film
received Oscar
nominations for
Best Art Direction and
Best Original Score. •Vampire Hunter D is a manga created by
Hideyuki Kikuchi, which is not considered a
manga itself, but rather a graphic
novel. •Located in the far future novels tell
the adventures of D, a
damphir (half human and
half vampire being), a quiet
and serious man who wears a
black armor, hat and sword. In
his left hand lives a parasite which
tells him what he need to do at
certain points and eats his enemies. •The manga
tells the efforts of the
mysterious and secret Royal
Order of Protestant Knights, "Hellsing" and their
battles against vampires, ghouls and other
supernatural enemies who threaten the kingdom
of Great Britain. •He typically dresses in a distinctive Victorian and
western fashion, with a charcoal suit, leather riding
boots, a red cravat, and a long red coat. He also
wears a red fedora with a wide, floppy brim and a
pair of circular, wire-framed sunglasses which
he uses to cover his long black shaggy hair.
However, this form seems to be a part of his
being as he can change it at will.

Volvo took the wraps off its V90 wagon in Stockholm today and the car looks terrific. It is essentially a Volvo S90 sedan with a wagon body grafted on aft of the rear doors. It has the same mighty T8 turbocharged and supercharged 407 horsepower hybrid powertrain as the XC90. It also can be had with a 316 horsepower gas engine. All wheel drive is optional in that car.
"We have a very strong position in the estate segment," said Håkan Samuelsson, president and chief executive of Volvo Cars. "In many people's minds we are known as the definitive estate brand. While the Volvo brand today stands for more than estates, we are proud to carry forward this rich heritage with the V90."
The new V90 is the third car unveiled in Volvo's top-of-the-line 90 series, all of which are built on the company's modular Scalable Product Architecture (SPA). Now Volvo lovers have a choice between a big, handsome SUV or a svelte, handsome wagon. That's a choice lots of other manufacturers wish they could offer their customers.

Rock 'n' Roll, the Opposites, & Our Greatest Hopes—A Celebration!
Why has Rock 'n' Roll affected people so much? Singing and commenting on songs from the '50s and '60s to the present, we illustrate these sentences from an Aesthetic Realism lesson Eli Siegel gave to a rock musician: "Rock 'n' roll has the answer to people's problem of, on the one hand, wanting to be very private and sad, and on the other, wanting to have something like sunlight and public force. Every person has to make a one of the most secret thing in him and the most public thing. Rock 'n' roll shows it can be done."
The Great Fight of Ego vs. Truth—Songs about Love, Justice, & Everybody's Feelings
You'll hear, through songs—including some of the most popular and beautiful songs—what the biggest fight is within every person and America herself. Eli Siegel, the great American critic, philosopher, and poet, founder of Aesthetic Realism, explained it. It's the fight between contempt for the world and respect for it. It's the fight of Ego—lying about the world to suit yourself—vs. Truth. Through this matinee, as you laugh and are stirred by songs, you'll know yourself and all people better. And you'll find out why art and honesty are stronger than contempt and lies—no matter who's telling them!
"Ethics Is a Force !"—Songs about Labor
"The most important thing in industry is the person who does the industry, which is the worker….Labor is the only source of wealth. There is no other source, except land, the raw material….Every bit of capital that exists was made by labor just as everything that is consumed is. Ethics is a force like electricity, steam, the atom—and will have its way. " —Eli Siegel
The songs include "Hold the Fort," "Joe Hill," "The Union Buster," "Rum and Coca Cola," "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" "Old Man River," "Seven and a Half Cents"—and many more!
An Aesthetic Realism Cabaret—About Love & Everyone's Hopes!
Come and hear unforgettable performances of some of the most loved and timeless songs, with thrilling comment on their meaning for our lives—by singers from the Aesthetic Realism Theatre Company. Songs include "Baby, It's Cold Outside" sung by Marion Fennell & Alan Shapiro with the Alan Shapiro trio: Alan Shapiro, piano; Rob Colavito, drums; Tony Falanga, bass. For announcement, click here.
