" Sainsburys / 250 mL. "
I have been wearing contact lenses for several years and until recently I always purchased Opti Free Express solution which I was ver happy with but which was getting increasingly expensive. I like to use plenty of solution when cleaning m lenses and do not want to have to scrimp to tr and save some one as the end result would undoubtedly be dirty lenses.
I purchases Sainsbury's own solution whilst on a shopping trip thinking that it was so cheap it was worth a shot, I can honestly say that I cannot tell any difference between this and the more expensive brand. This solution comes in a good big bottle so lasts easily for a couple of months. I use it to rinse my lenses when I first take them out, then rub the lens in solution and then leave it to soak overnight. My lenses have been as clean and replenished as before and I now no longer have to worry about how much money I am pouring away. I find the solution gentle and convenient and would not hesitate to recommend it to others.
Solution from Sainsbury's for cleaning, rinsing and storing your contact lenses.
Place your contact lens in the palm of your hand and add a few drops of the solution. Rub them very gently then use another few drops to rinse. Fill your contact lens storage case with the solution and add your lenses, the solution will keep them moist and fresh until next time you use them.
Yes I think so. I have perfect eyesight but I like to wear colour and effect contact lenses when I go out and because I do not wear them every day I have to have a good soaking solution so that they stay soft and in good condition for up to 2 weeks between wears. I used to use a solution that was very expensive but Sainsbury's stopped selling it and because I needed some that day I had to buy this one.
It is exactly the same as the solution I was using before with the same ingredients and everything. It cleans my contact lenses very quickly and I know it is effective because over Christmas I got a speck of mascara in my eye on a day when I was wearing these contact lenses and that irritated my eyes, but when I took my lens out and rubbed it with this solution it was comfortable to wear again. Even when my lenses have been soaking for 2 weeks they come out of the case soft and are comfortable when I put them into my eyes. Sometimes I rinse them with the solution first but not always and it is not necessary I don't think.
This solution comes with a very basic contact lens storage case and I think that is a good addition because it is not hygienic to use the same case for too long.
A 250ml bottle of this contact lens solution and the storage case costs £4 and I think that is very good value. I will not buy my more expensive brand again. You can only buy it from Sainsbury's or online from the Sainsbury's online shopping site.
5 Dooyoo Stars.
I wear contact lenses most of the time, and as such I get through a fair amount of contact lens cleaning solution. I've worn contact lenses since I was in my teens (I'm in my 30's now), and so I've had years of experience with both the lenses and the solutions.
I used to always use the Bausch & Lomb Renu solution, as this worked for me and I didn't see any reason to change, however like most things the price just seemed to be going up and up and so I decided to shop around. I've probably tried most of the contact lens solutions out there over the years, some are great, and some I don't like.
The solution that I've been happily using for about the last 6 months is the Sainsburys own brand All-In-One contact lens solution. It's really cheap when you compare it to the branded lens solutions, for instance a bottle of Renu retails at around £10.99 for a 240ml bottle, whereas the Sainsburys own brand is just £4.00 for a 250ml bottle. So in theory you get 3 bottles of Sainsburys own brand for the price of just 1 bottle of Renu. This makes a bit difference to the cost of my contact lens regime when you consider that I buy monthly disposable lenses, daily disposable lenses, saline, comfort drops and obviously the cleaning solution.
I find that a 250ml bottle of the Sainsburys solution will last me around 2 months. I don't wear my contact lenses 7 days a week, probably 5 or 6 days a week on average, and I also wear the daily disposable contact lenses occasionally as well so I don't need to clean my monthly lenses every single night. The bottle states that you do need to dispose of any used solution 90 days after opening.
This solution is really easy to use, and you use it just like all of the other all-in-one solutions on the market; you remove each lens in turn, place the lens in the palm of your hand and pop a few drops of the solution onto the lens, gently rub each side of the lens with the pad of your finger taking care not to damage or nick the lens, rinse the solution off with either saline or a bit more of the all-in-one solution and then place the lens in the correct side of your contact lens case, which you've filled up with more of the all-in-one solution, repeat for the other lens, leave to soak for at least 4 hours or overnight, your lenses are then clean and ready to wear in the morning.
You can put your lenses in straight from the solution in the morning, but I normally find that more often than not the Sainsburys solution does make my eyes sting a little bit when I do this. I solve this problem by just giving each lens a quick rinse with saline before I put it in, this then makes the lenses instantly comfortable when I put them in. I do find that most solutions make my eyes sting a little bit when I put my lenses in, so this isn't specific to the Sainsburys solution.
The solution comes in a plastic squeezy bottle, you just remove the lid and squeeze the bottle to dispense the solution; a gentle squeeze will dispense a small amount of solution to use to rub your lens clean, and a hard squeeze will dispense a steady jet of solution to fill your contact lens case. Each packet of the solution also comes with a contact lens case, it's a flat case as opposed to the barrel case which I like, as I always manage to nick a piece out of the edge of a contact lens in the barrel case. The little flat case that they give you is even colour coded with a blue lid for your left lens, which is handy for if your lenses are different prescriptions, but you should keep your lenses seperate anyway for hygene reasons.
I have not had any problems at all with this solution, I find that it keeps my lenses perfectly clean and clear, and it continues to do so for the life of the contact lens i.e. a month (well actually up to 2 months sometimes as I don't always use a new pair every month if I've only had a few wears out of them). I will definitely continue to buy this contact lens solution as I think that it's brilliant for the low price, it works just as well as the majority of the branded solutions for a much lower price.
Sainsbury's All In One Lens Solution
I have been wearing lenses since the age of 16 and i was relieved not having to wear my glasses anymore. I hated my glasses from the beginning i got them but unfortenately my parents were against me wearing lenses. To be fair i was a bit terrified wearing lenses since i could not see myself putting the lenses in my eyes. But gladly i'm used to it by now!
As lenses are great they can be expensive especially since you will have to use lens solution. Luckily now almost every brand has a bottle and even Sainsbury's have a All in One les solution. You can buy a bottle of 250 ml for around four pounds which isn't really that expensive.
The solution is to be used while you are not wearing them so when you are keeping them in your case or for cleaning in your hands. The solution can be used for daily cleaning and is disinfecting, removes protein and is moisturising for adding comfort. Sounds very good and I have to say it works fine for me. I notice that my eyes aren't irritated or red when I put my lenses in or during the day which is a good sign. You can easily tell when your lenses are dirty when you have eye irritating during the day.
You only need a little bit of solution to clean them in your hand. You just put a little bit in the palm of your hand and then you softly rub the lens with your finger into the solution and you turn the lens around and do it again. It's advisable to wash your hands first before you do this!
The Sainsbury's All In One Lens Solution is great especially for the price. I don't really notice any difference with the other brands really. I think there are some cheaper brands but i don't think that much cheaper.
I have been wearing contact lenses for over 10 years and I tend to buy monthly disposable soft contact lenses or the daily disposable type of lens that can be thrown away after use. When I buy my contact lenses the solution is not included and I need to buy it separately. The monthly lenses I wear require daily cleaning, disinfecting and storing in a contact lens case over night.
I normally use Tesco All in One solution, but about a week ago I ran out of solution and I was in Sainsbury's so I decided to try Sainsbury's All in one Lens Solution instead. The solution comes in a white and blue box and the bottle contains 250ml of solution and also a new clean contact lens case for storing the lenses in. I was pleased to see it cost £4 which is the same as the Tesco All in One contact lens solution. £4 is a good price for this product compared to other brands that can cost £10 such as Renu.
Sainsbury's All in one solution does not state whether it is suitable for soft and hard lenses and gives little information compared to the Tesco Solution. Hard contact lens wearers should contact Sainsbury's customer careline on 0800 636262 to confirm if it is suitable or not for them before use as it also does not mention whether it removes protein build up from the lens. The packaging gives little information compared to Tesco All in one solution which was suitable for nearly all types of lens. This is disappointing from the Sainsbury's brand and I would assume due to the lack of information perhaps it is only suitable for soft lenses.
I wear soft monthly contact lenses and this product has been adequate and I have been able to use it safely and comfortably to clean and store my lenses. I find it similar to the Tesco make one I was using but prefer the translucent design of the Tesco All in One solution as I would know exactly how much solution is left and it would make it easier to predict when to buy another bottle. Whereas the Sainsbury's solution is not see through and it is guess work to predict how much solution is left and only way would be by shaking the bottle.
The bottle comes with a screw on top which is very secure and prevents leakage of any kind. The bottle and outer box packaging can both be recycled after use. It has a long expiry date for storage but once opened it has to be used within 3 months. It's composition is Disodium Edetate, Polyhexanide 0.00015%, HPMC in isotonic buffered solution. To avoid contamination of the solution you should avoid touching the tip and always use fresh new solution.
I would recommend before changing your brand of contact lens solution to consult your Optician to make sure this solution is suitable for you.
The product
This is an all in one contact lens solution for soft contact lenses containing Disodium Edetate, Polyhexanide 0.00015% and HPMC in isotonic buffered solution.
The packaging & how to use
This comes in a screw top bottle so it will not just leak out if knocked over. To keep lenses crystal clear and free of germs I just pour this in to my contact lens case, leave it to soak and then remove the lenses before wearing them again. If I want to clean the lenses then I rinse my hands, drop a few drops on to my lenses and then rub both sides before soaking in the lens solution again. This takes just a few seconds usually and ends up keeping my lenses very clean and clear.
The price
A 250ml bottle of this set me back £4.00 and it is rare to see these on special offer so if I ever noticed an offer I would stock up as the expiry is quite long on these.
Overall opinion
I am fairly new to lenses having been wearing them on and off now for around a year. I first tried some of this when my husband was using it for his contact lenses and I was pleased enough with the results, however, I do not need to use this every single month as I quite often wear the throwaway lenses so that I can just wear them on occasional days rather than every single day of the month.
The price of this solution is very reasonable and while we have chopped and changed a few times depending on offers, availability and the store we are shopping in this is a solution that my husband and I are always happy to return back to again and again because we know what we are getting for our money and that this solution works.
There is a lens case that comes with this solution but I have only used this the once when I took it away to a hotel for the night so I could ensure that I wouldn't lose my normal case. I like the case, the colour coding makes it easy for me to see which eye is which without having to use my glasses.
Overall I am pleased with this solution. It lasts for 3 months once opened and it helps me to put my contact lenses in with minimal irritation. I have not suffered any red eye, dryness or soreness since using this solution and I do not experience blurred vision when I first place my lenses in to my eye.
The solution works well overall and the price is incredibly reasonable. I am pleased with this solution and while I have used a couple of others over the past year this is one that I am happy to return back to time and time again because I know that it is quality and works well with my eyes and my lenses.
** Sainsbury's All In One Lens Solution **
For the last couple of years it seems that every brand has his own version of the All in One lens solution. For me I think it's perfect because it means you can shop around a bit and you don't have to depend on these high brand with their high prices. Sainsbury's sells their own solution for around 4 pounds for a bottle of 250ml. I know that for example Boot's sells for a bit cheaper but not that much cheaper. I simply need my solution to clean my lenses and to keep them clean while I'm not using them.
************************************************* *********
With all these brands coming with All in One solution is sometimes difficult to tell what the different is between these brands except for the packaging and the price. It's both a liquid and you can only really tell if they work when you are using them. They need to keep my lenses clean and you will notice when they aren't clean! When I get red eyes or irritation I know it's often due to dirty lenses.
************************************************* *********
The Sainsbury's All In One Lens Solution should clean and disinfect your lenses and it's a solution that you can use to store your lenses. It's always important not to reuse the solution in the case and you need to make sure your hands are clean before putting the lenses in. The solution is easy to use for cleaning your lenses. You always have to be careful while rubbing the lenses with the liquid that they don't break.
************************************************* *********
So what's really the difference between all the brands? The only thing I can tell if my eyes are getting irritated or quicker dry or some kind of sign that there's something wrong. But while using this version I never really experience that kind of problem.
************************************************* *********
The Sainsbury's All In One Lens Solution comes for a price of 4 pounds for 250 ml which is think is a reasonable price. I only bought this one because I was in their store. If you want a cheaper one they are certainly out there but I don't think by that much. I think it's a good product and it does what it should do.
Having spent many years using only 'official' contact lens specialist brand contact lens solution, it's only recently that I have started shopping around for the best value solution. Sainsbury's isn't the most convenient supermarket for us to get to, so we don't often get their products, but I am glad I took the plunge and tried their own brand contact lens solution.
At £4 or thereabouts for a 250ml bottle of all in one solution, it comes in at up to almost half the price of some of the specialist brands such as Bausch and Lomb, and the fact that you don't have to worry about a separate product to neutralise your lenses means that it's very easy to use. This solution means that all you need to do is place the solution in your contact lenses case and then pop the lenses themselves in. The solution will clean them as well as keep them in good condition, neutralising them so they're safe to then put in your eyes next time you need them.
The only concern I had was whether the quality of the solution would be good enough when compared to the leading recognised specialist brands. I have astigmatism, which means there's not a completely smooth curve to them. This in turn means that sometimes lenses don't sit completely comfortably in my eyes and can take a few moments to get set in each time I put them in. Therefore, I'm particularly concerned about making sure the solution is good enough for my purposes.
The truth is that there's little or no difference as far as I can tell in the quality of the solution. It does the job I need it to with no issues whatsoever. I find that the lenses are clean when I take them out, and I suppose that as long as you make sure you do your part and clean them before putting them back in then there's no reason for them not to be. I've held them up to the light to have a look as well and there are no streaks or blemishes either which is good.
The only criticism I might have is the dispenser, a tiny pin prick of a nozzle that spurts the solution out. If you just hold it upside down you can let it drip, and squeezing it will give you a controllable small stream of solution at a good pace, but when you first squeeze and when you release it dribbles, which is annoying when it gets everywhere.
Other than that, I find this to be just as good as specialist brands, and I'd be happy to carry on using it. It's much more affordable, and I can't say I notice the difference. Recommended.
Whenever I buy a bottle of contact lens solution, I don't stick to one brand, I just tend to get whatever is cheapest in the first shop I go into. Because I live near a Sainsbury's, their own brand All in One solution is the one I get most often.
All in One solution is an extremely useful and efficient product because it disinfects and neutralises your contact lenses at the same time so that you do not have to purchase separate disinfecting solution and neutralising solution. If you do this, every day you will have to go through the painstaking process of putting your lenses in disinfecting solution, leaving them for a few hours, then putting them in neutralising solution and leaving them for another few hours. With all in one solution you just put your lenses in and leave them until you next wear them.
The solution itself seems to be a better quality than others I've tried. The solution is supposed to remove all germs from your lenses so they are clean when you next put them in. If the lenses are not clean you risk eye infection and your eyes will probably sting when you put them in. However I have experienced none of this with the Sainsbury's brand, as it seems to clean them very well. The solution is a gentle one, as when I put my lenses in it my adjust very quickly and get comfortable straight away. Other solutions are less gentle on the eyes. I find with certain solutions that if your lens is too wet before you put it in it can sting your eyes a bit and takes a while to adjust. However with Sainsbury's brand my eyes always feel very comfortable. I also find that if my eyes start to feel a little bit dry later in the day, if I squirt a couple of drops straight into my eye it feels a lot better. You are not supposed to do this, but Sainsbury's brand solution is the only one which I feel comfortable doing it with.
In terms of price it is extremely good value for money, at £4 for a 250 ml bottle of solution. This would last me a couple of months so I feel it is a very good price. It comes in a white plastic bottle with a screw-on lid with a tiny hole underneath for dispensing liquid. If you tip the bottle upside-down the water will come out on steady drops, or you can give it a gentle squeeze for a stream of liquid to come out. Each bottle comes with a contact lens case, for which the left compartment has a blue lid and the right compartment has a white lid so that you can easily tell them apart.
Sainsbury's All in One contact lens solution is very good value for money for a product which cleans the lenses well and with which I do not experience any of the irritation or blurriness that I sometimes do with other brands. This is definitely my solution of choice.
I have used a number of different brands of contact lenses, switched from monthlies to dailies to back again and bought different bottles of contact lens solution.
I like to get my package separately. Buying contact lenses and solution from different online stores as this is where I get best value for my money. At the minute I'm still using dailies but I am toying with going back to monthlies as they work out cheaper. When I did use them before, this is the brand of contact lens solution I used and found the best results with.
*Why is a good contact lens solution important?*
The quality of contact lens solutions is just as important as that of contact lenses.
The reasons are three fold:
Solutions clean your lenses so that they will be comfortable to wear and hopefully kill over 90 per cent of germs that can live on them.
Contact lens solutions will also disinfect your lenses and lens case so that when they are out of your eyes, they
are kept clean.
Lastly, contact lens solutions act as a buffer to make putting your lenses in as easy and comfortable as possible.
*Price and availability*
This solution cost £4.00 for a 250ml bottle and is available from Sainsbury's.
The product comes in a 250ml sized bottle. It has a screw off top and underneath is an easy to dispense hole to squirt the liquid out.
In the pack you also get a contact lens case. This has the left eye lid coloured blue for ease of use, so you don't get your prescriptions muddled up! I use the case but find that a barrel design is much more suited to my use so do not tend to use this free one as much. Nevertheless, it is good that they supply it.
The liquid is standard of contact lens solution; looks like water, smells like water but it isn't water!
*My experience*
This solution is by far one of the best I have used. It is soft and gentle and cares for my lenses. When I put my lenses after leaving them in the solution, they feel soft and clean and go back in with ease. It is a pain putting them in and the putting make up on, but as this solution is so gentle, my eyes adjust much quicker and the process is much easier.
I do not consider myself to be overly sensitive but my eyes do get irritated by certain products. With this one, I experience no irritation and my eyes feel fresh and without the usual blurry adjustments.
It is really important, no matter what solution you use to use fresh solution every time you clean your lenses. Not emptying the solution out of your contact lens case after each use could cost you your sight. That's because solutions that are left over in the case after a disinfection cycle are essentially full of bacteria.
Overall, I am fully satisfied with this product and will be using it in the future. It is good value for money and gentle on my eyes.
I always do try and stick with supermarket own brands wherever possible to save money and for contact lens solution the version which seems to me to work best is Sainsburys. This 250ml bottle currently retails for around £4 but the Baush and Lomb major brands will charge you anywhere up to twice that for the same amount of fluid.
I tried the Asda version before this one but found that for some reason my eyes were becoming irritated much quicker when the lenses were stored in that make of fluid. I have not had any such problems with this Sainsbury's version. The fluid is very useful as you can use it both for storing your lenses and for cleaning them - although strangely all my lenses have been two weekly disposable which state on the box 'do not rub' - my opticians however have always advised me to ignore this advice and to gently rub each lens in a small puddle of solution in the palm of my hand before storing. I have always done so and will continue to do so.
This All In One solution is suitable for soft contact lenses rather than the hard lenses which require more stringent cleaning. This one is great for disposable lenses of all types and is very gentle. It cleans my lenses well - I can tell the difference before and after rubbing despite the box instructions not to do so, clearly my optician is the one to trust on the matter!
The bottle comes in a cardboard box and the bottle itself is made of recyclable plastic. The bottle has a screw top lid and then a small squirty dispenser. That is one of my only niggles with the product - to get it into the small wells of your contact lens case you need to tip it completely upside down and inevidtably some fluid escapes as you do this, a better nozzle on the bottle would be a great improvement.
I have noticed that this product is not always available and they never seem to have many bottles on the shelf, I assume this is bacause they do not sell very much of it, I therefore keep an eye out for it whenever I know my current bottle is getting low and grab some when I see it.
Overall I think this is well worth switching to from the premium brands as it does exactly the same job for up to half the price.
Although I do get plenty of solution in order to clean my contact lenses with my contact lens deal I am very unhappy with the solution I receive as it doesn't really do much other than keep the lens wet. It certainly has minimal cleaning qualities, makes the lens stained and sticky and I firmly feel that changing the solution would be a means by which to make my lenses last longer. Indeed one of the products I tried on this quest was the Sainsbury's all in one cleaner which was on offer when I bought it for 2.99 and for that I got a 250ml bottles.
Now this product talks a good talk highlighting on the box how it will ensure lenses are cleaned, protected, disinfected and all sorts of jargon when you soak them in the solution. Does it work though and does the solution do precisely what it says on the tin? You get the storage case for the lenses to clean in which is colour coded which is handy if you require different lenses for different eyes.
The process of using the solution is the same as all similar brands. Rub gently with the solution on a clean hand and store when not in use in the case with a filling of solution.
So my experience of the product then. Overall I have been impressed. The lenses feel like new for longer. With the old solution half the battle was after a few soaks the lenses felt old and beaten up. Now though the lenses have that first time feel each day over and over meaning this solution is really working well. The lenses in the eye feel clean, look less battered and stained and all round look more healthy and desirable to place into the eye. The solution is non sticky and keeps the lens wet throughout days and can be relied upon never to fail you.
In the few months I have used this, and one bottle will last a considerable time, I have been very impressed and found my eyes feel cleaner with lenses in and the longevity and condition of my lenses remains steady aad has been a vast improvement over my previous brand.
I have worn contact lenses for about eighteen years now and have used an all in one solution for the majorty of that period. I have used several different brands such as Amo and Renu, sometimes on the recommendation of my optician and other times, when I was allowed to choose, I based my choice upon the brand popularity and product reputation. Only recently did the price of the product become an issue for me when my regular brand increased in price by nearly £5 virtually overnight thanks to the economic situation. The price of a bottle of solution was almost the same as I'd pay for a pair of soft contact lenses! So I looked around for a cheaper alternative and found that Sainsbury's make their own version. At less than £4 it is one of the cheapest on the highstreet.
The product is designed for all soft contact lenses. It is an all-in-one solution and provides a one step process for cleaning lenses. This provides daily cleaning, protein removal and disinfection. The product comes in a 250ml sized bottle which is boxed. It has a screw off top which means its no hassle to pack for travelling without worrying about spills (unlike Amo's latest packaging change which sees their Complete product given a horrible flip style little lid on a plastic stalk). Product information is written on the box and on the bottle label. This includes detailed instructions on how to use the product, warnings, ingredients and contact information including a helpful careline number which I think is particularly important with products like this. In the pack you also get a contact lens case. This has the left eye lid coloured blue for ease of use. There are many manufacturers who don't colour code the case and and it saves a lot of time for me if they do!
To prepare for use you need to wash your hands. You then need to place your lens in the palm of your hand and add 5-10 drops of the solution. I find this recommendation of how many drops to use is a bit too much actually and it gets too wet and messy. For me a few drops is fine. You then rub each side of the lens gently for 20 seconds. This is the protein removal stage. Rinse the lense thoroughly with another couple of drops of solution. After this you place your lens in the case and fill it up with solution. You must leave your lenses to soak for four hours after cleaning. The cleaning process is pretty much identical with every other solution I've use, cheap or expensive.
As I mentioned I have used many solutions and am quite familiar with how the product feels after I put the lenses from the solution into my eye. This particular product is quite thick and soft rather than watery and I like the fact that it seems to cushion my lenses quite well in my eyes. I find it a very comfortable solution. It causes no bluriness after first inserting the lens into the eye. It has never caused any iritation to my eyes either. My lenses always feel soft and well cleaned and they have never had problems with disintegration or protein build-up as I have had whilst using other solutions. I'm really confident about using this and feel totally fine that despite it's cheap price compared to other similar solutions that it really works well and is a healthy option for my eyes. I've been using it for about three months now and am totally happy with it.
There are a few things to note when using this solution. If you don't wear your lenses for thirty days but are storing them in the solution you need to repeat the cleaning process. you must always use fresh solution. You must keep the bottle closed between uses and not touch the dispenser nozzle with anything to avoid contamination. You should store the solution at room temperature and use within three months of opening and within the expiry date printed on the label.
Sainsburys provide online access and also have a telephone careline for information about this product:

I've been wearing contact lenses for many, many years and I remember all sorts of different solutions that I've used. At first I had three separate products - a cleaner, disinfectant solution and a neutraliser. Once I forgot to use the neutraliser and put the lenses in straight from the disinfectant solution. The memory of the pain stays with me till this day, and it was a mistake I never repeated. I also remember having little tablets to neutralise the disinfectant solution, which got me lots of strange looks when, travelling alone, my bags were checked in the airport. The bag checkers weren't impressed when they opened my bag to see hundreds of tablets in unlabelled blister packs strewn across the top of my luggage.
Thankfully these days are long behind me and many people now have lenses that are disposable, so no solutions required! This is a bit of a luxury idea for me, so I wear monthly soft lenses, and still require a solution to clean them in. And these days it's a one-bottle-job. Hooray!
I have no brand loyalty whatsoever when it comes to the solution I clean and store my lenses in and, frankly, when I run out of one solution I go to the most convenient shop and buy whichever solution is the cheapest. I find price tends to vary from about £5 up to £10 or so, so buying the cheapest can make a significant saving.
Last time I ran out of solution, I popped into Sainsburys and checked out what they had on offer. And, nestling amongst the usual, more expensive brands, was Sainsburys own solution, at a very pleasing price of £3.49 for 250ml - probably the cheapest solution I've seen. So I didn't hesitate to pop a bottle in my basket.
The bottle is pretty simple looking - it's mainly white with a blue design on the front. It's nothing special, but I'm not looking for something cool-looking and sexy in my lens solutions - just something effective!
The solution is the usual clear, watery consistency (although I have used solutions in the past which are slightly gel-like, which I haven't liked). It's very easy to squirt the solution into the case, and pop the lenses in. But the real test is when I put my lenses back in in the morning. I want comfort, ease and, of course, clean lenses - and no stinging!
This product delivers on all fronts and I have no complains at all. My lenses are perfectly clean, easy to insert and don't sting, irritate or affect my eyes in any way at all. Perfect!
Now to put my hilarious headline into some context. In the box alongside the bottle of solution is a lens case - nothing unusual here. The case is white with a blue lid for the left side of the case, which is very helpful if your eyesight is as bad as mine first thing in the morning. I've been through many a lens case in my time, and they are all fairly similar, but this one is slightly different - and not in a good way. The lens holders are very slightly narrower and deeper than the usual cases. This makes it - for me - ever so slightly trickier to take the lenses out of the case - and may be a problem for anyone with bigger fingers! However, this is a very minor complaint and not something that will stop me buying this again (and of course it assisted me with my comedy headline writing).
I will definitely be buying this solution again as it delivers on all fronts and is significantly cheaper than any other solutions I've yet to find.

On one hand, what San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich did Thursday is completely understandable.
Popovich's team has had an almost ridiculously difficult opening schedule, having embarked on a four-game trip early in the month and wrapping up now with a six-game junket through the Eastern Conference.
Wednesday in Orlando, Popovich said his players were tired. So instead of going through with the end of the trip in Miami on Thursday, Popovich sent Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Danny Green home early. They'll get an extra day of rest ahead of the team's next game, on Saturday.
Sure, that left the Spurs with nine active players for their 105-100 loss to the defending champion Miami Heat, but the Spurs had gotten off to a good start on the trip, winning their first five games (before the loss to Miami).
Thursday evening, the NBA released an ominous statement from commissioner David Stern: "I apologize to all NBA fans. This was an unacceptable decision by the San Antonio Spurs and substantial sanctions will be forthcoming."
— Thursday final: Heat 105, Spurs 100; Spurs keep in close throughout
By Thursday night, after a game that the Spurs led late but ultimately lost, Popovich said he was unaware of Stern's words.
Everyone can use a mental health day, and most of the American workforce gets to take personal time now and then. Thursday's game is one of 82, after all.
But really, that's the problem with what Popovich pulled.
The game against the Heat is one of just 82—when members of the Spurs sign up to play NBA basketball, the understanding is that their contracts cover 82 games of work. It is those 82 games that fans pay a lot of money to see.
It is the best of those 82 games that the networks fork over $4.6 billion over six years to televise. That ticket-and-television payout, remember, is the revenue that affords star players Duncan, Ginobili and Parker their robust salaries and allows Popovich the millions he has been paid over his coaching career.
By sending his best players home because they are tired, Popovich snubbed his nose at all those people who shell out all that money because of their interest in pro basketball.
Folks in Miami who paid to watch the Heat play the Spurs—not the Spurs' B team—have a right to be ticked off. The folks at TNT have the right to be ticked off.
For all the hand-wringing we saw last year about teams tanking games in order to better their lottery positions, there should be indignity over the Spurs tanking this one.
Those of us in the media, of course, are accustomed to Popovich's haughtiness, his disdain for us commoners. We understand that is part of the gig, and very often, we write off Popovich's curmudgeonly outlook as part of his gruff charm.
But this decision goes beyond the wrinkled masses of the fourth estate. This is a maneuver that should concern fans in general. If you buy a ticket for a game in mid-April, you can reasonably assume a playoff-bound team might rest players. But to send home four starters in late November is something different.
It shows an utter disdain for fans.
Yes, it is one of 82 games on their schedule and over the course of the season, the Spurs can probably afford a loss. But these guys are professionals.
There are 365 days in a year, and all NBA teams and their players really must do is show up and play basketball for 48 minutes per night, on 22 percent of the nights in a year.
Fans pay them millions to do that. To tell players not even to show up on one of those nights is a step too far.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Wounded Wear is a national company that helps bring life back to wounded warriors. Its goal is to help those men and women rediscover the hero within.
"There's a stigma with the wounded veteran that they believe that their sacrifice has been forgotten or people don't care," said retired Marine Cpl. Tyler Southern.
Southern, a triple amputee, said that stigma can be destroyed if people will show their support for organizations like Wounded Wear.
Southern works with fellow wounded warrior and Navy Lt. Jason Redman, who is also the founder of Wounded Wear. After being wounded in a firefight in Iraq in 2007, it took Redman four years and 40 surgeries to recover.
When recovering, it was hard for him to fit in his usual clothes. He said he knows other wounded warriors face the same issue and wants Wounded Wear to provide comfort as well as encouragement to the nation's heroes.
"I just thought, you know, we can do a better job to raise the awareness across this country and the sacrifice that so many men and women are making for freedom," Redman said.
Southern and Redman are two of nine employees throughout the nation who promote and host events to raise money for Wounded Wear. One of those events happens to be in Jacksonville this weekend -- the Hold 'Em for Heroes poker run on Saturday from 9-11 a.m. The event makes stops through Jacksonville, and bikes or cars and trucks can participate.
Southern is hoping there are more than 100 bikes Saturday and wants everyone to come out and show wounded warriors just how important they are.
"Men and women will understand that what they did meant something for everybody and that we have not forgotten," he said.
For more information on Saturday's event, including how to preregister, go to WoundedWear.org.

Thanksgiving is over and now it is off to Christmas. Before you know it, it will be New Year's Day. Where did all the time go?
Funny how your mind works, but twenty years ago I never envisioned living in the year 2009. Actually, I never envisioned being over sixty-years-old… but here I am and I'm still not retired.
Several years ago I looked forward to the day I could retire. Hah, that didn't happen. I must have been having pipe dreams, thinking I could retire at age sixty-two.

very good place, quite and comfortable. Lovely owners ;)
First of all, big thanks to Lina, for her and the man's hospitality and helpfulness. The apartment was okay for the price, wish we had our own balcony, (had a "balcony" at a gallery) so we could enjoy afterne without neighbors' lookout and we could sit undisturbed. Lacked one DESCRIPTIO ef town we lived in, is far away, and not many resturants. But all in all, a lovely holiday, happily drove the bus about hv hour. Sincerely, Joan Madsen. PS. not the last time I book hotel / apartment on Wimdu.
Allerførst stor tak til Lina, for hende og mandens gæstfrihed, og hjælpsomhed.
Lejligheden var okay til prisen, ville ønske at vi havde vores egen Balkon, (havde en "balkon" på en svalegang) så vi kunne nyde afterne, uden naboernes kiggen og vi kunne sidde uforstyrret.
Manglede en beskrivels ef byen vi boede i, ligger langt ude, og ikke mange resturanter.
Men alt i alt, en dejlig ferie, heldigvis kørte der busser ca hv time.
Venlig hilsen Joan Madsen.
PS. ikke sidste gang jeg bestiller hotel/apartment hos Wimdu.

According to a study released this week by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, Americans are getting increasingly comfortable with checking their banking balances on their cellphones. In just one year, the percentage of consumers that perform banking-related activities climbed from 18 percent to 29 percent.
The study breaks down respondents into age demographics, and not surprisingly, the youngest cellphone users are the most tech-savvy. Nearly half of respondents between 18 and 29 use their mobile devices to manage their personal finances.
While young consumers may be the primary reasons for the increase, the study shows that an older generation of Americans is jumping on board with mobile banking. In 2011, Pew conducted the same study, and just 16 percent of respondents older than 50 used their phones for banking-related activities. In the most recent report, that figure jumped to 28 percent.
"When the results are taken together, the increase in mobile bankers ages 50 to 64 from May 2011 to September 2012 is significant," says Maeve Duggan, research assistant, Pew Internet & American Life Project.
The increase in older consumers moving toward mobile money management is great news for banks. As financial institutions work to adjust to new regulations, they're aiming to reduce costs such as mailing paper statements and staffing branches with tellers. If more consumers are willing to adopt mobile and online tools, banks should benefit.
Mobile study guides
Still, increasing mobile banking adoption rates will require some hand-holding. While mobile banking may seem very simple for account holders who regularly download apps, others may need a technological tutorial, and many institutions are uploading easy-to-understand videos that outline the steps toward downloading and using a mobile app.
How do you feel about using your cellphone for your personal finances? Do you still ask your bank to mail paper statements to your house? Has your bank offered any educational tools to help you understand the benefits, convenience and security of mobile banking?

We left on the day we checked in. Just like the host said this is what u get if you want to pay cheap. We told me on the same day we moved to another accomodation and windu did not give our money back.
excellent organization, great location, nice apartment but small, bathroom small, a maximum of two people
organizzazione impeccabile, ottima posizione, appartamento carino ma piccolo, bagno piccolissimo, massimo per due persone
Perfect and quiet apartment in the central Marais. All facilities nearby. The apartment was well cleaned when we arrived. It is flexible to deal with the check.
Perfect en rustig appartement in het centraal gelegen Marais. Alle faciliteiten in de buurt.
Het appartement was goed schoon gemaakt op het moment dat we aankwamen. Er wordt flexibel omgegaan met het uitchecken.
It was just great. We have been warmly willkomen and filled us right at home. We are coming back. André is super nice and the gorgeous apartment. The bathroom is great.
Es war einfach toll. Wir sind ganz herzlich willkomen worden und uns gleich zu Hause gefüllt. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder. André ist super nett und die Wohnung traumhaft. Das Bad ist klasse.
studio very well located, very agreable.Un neighborhood very convenient pied a terre in Paris.
studio tres bien situé,quartier tres agreable.Un pied a terre tres convenable dans Paris.
cozy little studio located in the 10. arrondissement. It's a nice neigbourhood, perfect to explore the city. It's very small but for a few nights it's perfect.
It was a beautiful cozy apartment. However, the best part of this place is its location. It couldn't have been any better. My only suggestion to the owner would be to have one double bed instead to two single beds that are really hard to place side by side.
Highly recommended: great organization, great apartment, great neighborhood, great city :)
Comfortable apartment, complete with all the comforts. Excellent location a few meters from the Place de la Republique where there is a meter with 3 lines. A few minutes walk from the Marais and the Ile de la Cité (15/20 minutes). Nearby there are supermarkets (Franprix a few meters, Monoprix - a little larger 'farther), boulangerie (one just around the corner) and chain restaurants, from low-level type MacDonald and Quick type Hippopotamus (excellent meat ), bistro, brasserie. There are 4 beds but to open both sofa beds must be a bit move them away from each other. The two windows overlooking the courtyard, the area quiet and safe. The apartment is located on the 2nd floor with beautiful wooden stairs, a few niggles with pushchairs and prams unless you ask for the opportunity to put them in a storage room in the courtyard, however, is a detail in Paris because if you take the meters with strollers or wheelchairs is a continuous and open or close loading and unloading, you should be at least two adults (some stops have the ascensone or escalators that take you to level without the stairs).
Appartamento confortevole e completo di tutti i confort. Posizione eccellente a pochi metri da Place de la Republique dove c'è la metro con 3 linee. A pochi minuti a piedi dal Marais o dall'Ile de la Cité (15/20 minuti circa). Nei dintorni ci sono supermercati (Franprix a pochi metri, Monoprix - più grande un po' più lontano), boulangerie (una proprio dietro l'angolo) e catene di ristoranti, dal livello basso tipo MacDonald e Quick a livello tipo Hippopotamus (carne eccellente), cafè, brasserie.
Ci sono 4 posti letto ma per aprire entrambi i divani letto bisogna un po allontanarli l'uno dall'altro. Le due finestre danno all'interno del cortile, la zona e tranquilla e sicura. L'appartamento si trova al 2° piano con bellissime scale di legno, qualche problemino con passeggini e carrozzine a meno che non si chieda la possibilità di metterli in un locale di deposito nel cortile, comunque è un dettaglio perché a Parigi se si prende la metro con passeggini o carrozzine è un continuo chiudere ed aprire o caricare e scaricare, è bene essere almeno due adulti (solo alcune fermate hanno l'ascensone o scale mobili che ti portano a livello senza fare delle scale).
A friend of Eric explained everything very well. He answered our questions and we could always call him, when we had a problem.

To those of you jonesing for dramatic hair color makeovers à la Britney or the Olsen twins — hold on a minute. John Frieda head colorist Sharon Dorram-Krause, whose clients include Kate Hudson, Kate Winslet and Linda Evangelista, warns that non-celebrities should proceed carefully. "I don't recommend it for the layperson because they don't have a colorist at their disposal, and the hair really takes a beating [in the process]," says Dorram-Krause. "A lot of times [stars] aren't doing these transformations overnight—it happens over stages." She recommends deep conditiong with L'Occitane's Shea Butter or adding Vitamin E tablets to a Kerastase mask for "an extra boost." And if you do decide to color your hair yourself, make sure you do a strand test on an underneath layer of hair to see how the color will take, says Dorram-Krause. "Otherwise it's months before your hair looks good again."

Supermarkets have announced fuel-price cuts ahead of the August bank holiday getaway.
From tomorrow Asda, Sainsbury's and Tesco are all reduc ing the cost of their petrol by up to 2p a litre, with diesel going down by 1p a litre.
In Asda's case, this will take the price of its petrol to no more than 124.7p a litre, with diesel at 128.7p for diesel - its lowest prices since January 2011.
The AA said t he average UK price of petrol yesterday was 129.71p a litre, with diesel at 133.74p - its lowest since mid-February 2011.
AA public affairs head Paul Watters said: "We have seen competitive independent retailers east of London selling petrol as low as 125.9p a litre recently."
He said the supermarkets' move would spur other retailers to follow suit.
RAC fuel spokesman Pete Williams said: "We've been calling for petrol and diesel prices to fall for some time following the decrease in wholesale prices and so this is a welcome move by the supermarkets.
"We would expect to see other retailers to follow in the coming days giving consumers a great opportunity to fuel up ahead of the bank holiday."

Russia's invasion of Crimea sent grains and soy higher to start the week. Russia invaded the Crimean region of Ukraine over the weekend and seems to have the whole country in its sights. The potential implications of that news, including grain trade disruptions and/or embargoes sent the grain and soy markets soaring Sunday night. However, corn backed away from early highs despite a supportive Export Inspections result. May corn surged 10.5 cents to $4.74/bushel by late Monday morning, while December ran up 7.0 to $4.785.
The soybean complex couldn't sustain Sunday night gains. Although soybeans aren't all that big of a crop in the Black Sea region, Russia and Ukraine certainly grow much more than in the past. Traders are likely considering substitution effects as well, since a disruption of wheat exports from that area could spur soy usage. However, after rallying strongly Sunday night, beans gave back a big portion of the early advance. May soybeans rose 4.0 cents to $14.18/bushel late Monday morning, while May soyoil leapt 0.70 cents to 42.49 cents/pound, and May soymeal turned $2.5 lower to $455.2/ton.
The wheat markets are leading the way higher to start the week. The possibility that a conflict between Russia and Ukraine will greatly disrupt Black Sea exports and/or cause the U.N. or the Western Powers to boycott Russian wheat sent futures dramatically higher Sunday night. The weekly Export Inspections report was also supportive. May CBOT wheat futures rocketed 37.75 cents to $6.40/bushel around midsession Monday, while May KCBT wheat futures spiked 39.0 cents to $7.13, and May MWE futures vaulted 25.25 to $6.815.
Cattle futures turned mixed Monday morning. CME traders seem uncertain about likely short-term cattle and beef prospects in the wake of last week's big surge. Despite its sizeable discount the nearby April future was trading lower around midsession. Conversely, much large discounts in deferred futures seem to be supporting those contracts. April cattle futures slipped 0.22 to 144.75 cents/pound shortly before midday Monday, while August climbed 0.37 to 133.00. Meanwhile, surging feed costs again depressed April feeder cattle 1.05 cents to 172.02 cents/pound, and August lost 1.17 to 174.40.
Bulls are pushing hog futures higher again this week. Big cash and wholesale pork gains posted last Friday encouraged bullish traders again at the start of this week's trading. Bullish expectations built upon robust demand and seasonally tightening supplies are still spurring active buying. April hogs rocketed up 2.42 cents to 109.27 cents/pound late Monday morning, while June surged 1.25 to 113.47.

Pounding pavement on Lake Avenue
Digging up concrete
A baseball-sized hole in a water main on Lake Avenue, between 19th and 20th Street, is still creating problems. City services director Shane Gruber said the break was discovered on June 24 when 65 pounds of water erupted, shooting as high as eight inches from the pavement. Gruber said the break was repaired last Thursday but traffic is still re-routed from the area for safety reasons and so workers from Paulsen Inc. of Cozad can remove concrete (pictured) to see how much dirt was washed away. With heavy truck traffic up and down Lake Avenue, he said the pavement might cave in without backfill or flowable fill, noting that the stretch of road could be closed for another week.

Federal immigration agents launched an audit of the 21-store Mi Pueblo supermarket chain in mid-August after hearing complaints about suspected illegal immigrant workers, the company, which has stores in Salinas and Seaside, announced Friday.
The audit of I-9 forms, known as a "silent raid," was the reason the San Jose-based grocer voluntarily joined the federal E-Verify system a short time later to check the immigration status of all new hires.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has audited more than 6,500 worksites nationwide since 2009, but "most companies choose not to talk about it because it is confidential," said company lawyer Julie Case. She led a press conference Friday to dispel rumors she said were spreading fear and division.
The announcement comes days before a threatened boycott is to begin at noon Monday, led by a union trying to organize Mi Pueblo's more than 3,000 workers and demanding that the company stop using E-Verify.
The union said Friday it is backing off on the E-Verify demand amid news of the ICE audit, but is proceeding with the boycott because Mi Pueblo refuses to sign a labor agreement. Supermarket workers are even more upset about how this was handled than they were before, said Gerardo Dominguez, campaign coordinator for the Justice for Mercado Workers Coalition. It is seeking to unionize thousands of Latino and Asian grocery workers around the state.
"People are very anxious, very nervous, very upset," said Dominguez. He said one worker recently quit because he was feeling too much stress.
In a video shown to employees earlier this week, Mi Pueblo founder and CEO Juvenal Chavez revealed the audit for the first time.
"The possibility of losing one of our employees will hurt my heart," he said, according to a transcript of the video obtained by the union and translated into English from Spanish. "And it will feel like losing a family member."
Labor activists have faulted Chavez, a U.S. citizen who is himself a former illegal immigrant from Mexico, for betraying the Latino immigrant community that sustains his business, but the company has fought back the attacks on its reputation and hired an Arizona legal team and immigrant rights activist Lydia Guzman to help manage the crisis.
Case, the lawyer, spoke to reporters Friday in front of posters depicting what she called "immigration reform butterflies" that emphasize the need for the "left wing" and the "right wing" to come together.
"Companies get caught in the middle" of immigration enforcement stings and the audits have particularly hurt Hispanic businesses, she said. It could take months or more than a year for the government to complete its audit, she said.
The government can fine companies for hiring illegal workers, but Case said it is not a crime for the company to hire workers who used counterfeit forms that looked genuine.
"We can't discriminate" or scrutinize workers just "because they have brown skin or speak Spanish or have a Spanish surname," she said.
Chavez, a former janitor, founded his first Mi Pueblo in 1991 and built a chain across the San Francisco Bay Area, including stores in Salinas and Seaside, and into the Central Valley. City leaders have lauded Mi Pueblo for revitalizing shopping centers with its festive supermarkets and bakeries.
The chain's original East San Jose store at King and Story roads was bustling Friday morning. Most shoppers said they were unaware of the immigration problems or the boycott plan.
As he pushed a cart out of the store, shopper Carlos Carranza, 19, said he had not heard of the boycott but he faulted the government for any hardships the audit brings to workers.
"The company has nothing to with it," the San Jose resident said. "They're just doing their job."

An interim rule for sizing and grading valencia and other late oranges grown in Florida has been adopted as the final rule, with federal officials saying the intent is to help growers and shippers maximize fresh shipments late in the season.
The new rule, effective Aug. 23, amends Marketing Order No. 905 by reducing the minimum size for valencias and other late-type oranges shipping to interstate markets by a quarter-inch, from 2 8/16 inches to 2 4/16 inches. The smaller sizes are allowed from May 15-Aug. 31 each year.
The new rule also reduces minimum grade requirements. From May 15-June 14 the grade is lowered from a U.S. No. 1 to a U.S. No. 1 Golden. From June 15-Aug. 31 the minimum grade for interstate shipping is lowered from a U.S. No. 2 external to a U.S. No. 1 internal.
"The industry believes there may be a late season market for Florida valencia and other late type oranges in the foodservice industry. However, the previous size and grade regulations were making it difficult to supply this market," according to the final rule published in the Federal Register Aug. 22.

When I was at the video game expo PAX Prime last year, the game The Bridge really caught my eye. It won a highly sought-out spot on the PAX 10, PAX's list of the top 10 indie games. But as I was struck down with a classic case of acute PAX-overload-titis, The Bridge was soon out of sight and out of mind. However, it was recently released on Steam for Windows and it caught my interest all over again.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact email@example.com to report an issue.
Developed by programmer Ty Taylor and artist Mario Castaneda, The Bridge is a puzzle game self-described as "Isaac Newton meets M. C. Escher." I'm quoting it directly because it's the best way to phrase it! As in Portal, the goal is to cross a level from start to finish with a clever use of gravity. Your only controls are making the character walk left and right, rotating the scene left and right, and scrolling back in time.
The Bridge is absolutely worth including in your next family game night. The whole gang can gather behind the computer screen and discuss the best approach to each new puzzle, the one with the winning strategy gets bragging rights! The simplicity of the controls ensures no one will be lost learning how to use a dozen buttons.
Moreover, there's really no way to fail. If your character dies–for example your character can get hit by a boulder, but there's no graphic evidence of "death"–you can reset that specific puzzle from the start or backtrack in time to undo what went wrong. This means there's no other challenge than logic itself.
The beautiful black and white lithography-style art contributes as much to the game experience as the actual game design. Its understated elegance is appealing without being flashy, a rare occurrence in video games. The game includes 48 puzzles, the more challenging ones making use of mind-boggling concepts like gravitational vortexes and parallel dimensions. Should you finish the game and desire additional brainiac fun, you can unlock an alternate version of many of its puzzles.

O's consider using Gonzalez in six-man rotation
CLEVELAND -- The Orioles' starters for the first two games of next week's White Sox series are Bud Norris and Chris Tillman, with Miguel Gonzalez potentially starting on Wednesday.
Gonzalez was optioned to the Minor Leagues to create a roster spot for Ubaldo Jimenez and was recently moved to Double-A Bowie, though he could potentially throw his next pitch for Baltimore.
"We've got three options," O's manager Showalter said of Gonzalez, who is eligible to be recalled as early as Tuesday. "We can bring back Miguel and pitch him out of the bullpen, bring him back starting or leave him there. Those are the three things we have to decide."
If the Orioles do have Gonzalez pitch on Wednesday, that would move Wei-Yin Chen back until after Thursday's off-day. Chen, who threw seven solid innings Friday night, has pitched considerably better on extra rest, although Showalter said he's comfortable with having Chen stay on turn as well.
"It's not like he's never pitched well on regular rest," Showalter said. "He's certainly shown that he doesn't get out of sync or anything, just slightly better with rest. ... Miguel here, if he gets back here, [it] allows us to do some things [to set up the rotation]."
Gonzalez has gone 6-6 with a 3.80 ERA in 20 games (19 starts) this season.

I have known Joel Burns for almost 10 years — several years longer than he has been on the Fort Worth City Council.
My wife and I met Joel and his husband, J.D. Angle, through mutual friends back when Joel and J.D. still lived in their beautifully restored home in the same East Fort Worth neighborhood where my wife and I and our children lived. I saw them then as the perfect couple: happy, handsome, healthy men with a beautiful home and great jobs. I knew they had great things ahead of them.
Then they moved to another beautifully restored older home in an historic neighborhood just south of downtown Fort Worth, and Joel ran for City Council. I was so happy when he was elected, because I believed that not only would Joel be a good representative for his constituents in District 9, but that he would also be a good representative for the LGBT community.
I think the fact that no one even stepped up to oppose Joel when he ran for re-election in 2009 shows that his constituents, overall, believe he is doing a good job on the City Council. But last night — Tuesday, Oct. 12 — during the weekly Fort Worth City Council meeting, Joel proved without a doubt that he also represents his LGBT community, and he proved why it is so important to have openly LGBT elected officials at all levels of government.
At each council meeting, council members are given a few minutes each at the start of the meeting to make announcements and to recognize people from their districts who have done something outstanding. Last night, Joel took his time to talk about the recent suicides of several LGBT youth — and to tell his own very personal and very powerful story.
After recounting the stories of several young men who have taken their own lives in recent weeks after being subjected to anti-gay bullying and harassment, Joel told his fellow councilmembers and those in the council chambers that he was about to tell them something he had never told anyone before — not even his parents or his husband. And then, struggling through his own tears, he told them of the day when he was a 9th grader at Crowley High School and a group of older teens accosted him and "roughed him up."
"They said that I was a faggot, and that I should die and go to hell where I belonged. That erupted the fear that I had kept pushed down, that what I was beginning to feel on the inside must somehow be showing on the outside. Ashamed, humiliated and confused, I went home. There must be something very wrong with me, I thought, something I could never let my family or anyone else know," he recalled.
Joel broke down then, and acknowledged that he couldn't actually bring himself to read aloud the next couple of sentences he had written that described his own near suicide attempt. "I, don't want my mother and father to have to bear the pain of having to hear … hear me say the …" He couldn't finish the sentence.
When he regained his composure enough to continue, Joel said: "So I will just say, and I will skip ahead, I have never told this story to anyone before tonight. Not my family, not my husband, not anyone. But the number of suicides in recent days have upset me so much, they have just torn at my heart. And even though there may be some political repercussions for telling my story, the story is not just for the adults who might choose or not choose to support me. The story is for the young people who might be holding that gun tonight. Or the rope. Or the pill bottle. You need to know that the story doesn't end where I didn't tell it on that unfortunate day. There is so, so, so much more.
"Yes, high school was difficult. Coming out was painful. But life got so much better for me. And I want to tell any teen that might see this: Give yourself a chance to see just how much better life will get. And it will get better. You will get out of the household that doesn't accept you. You will get out of that high school, and you never have to deal with those jerks again if you don't want to. You will find and you will make new friends who will understand you. And life will get so, so, so much better."
Joel then talked about all the happy memories that fill his life now, from the first time he ever saw his future husband, to the day he asked J.D. to spend his life with him, to winning his first election to just a few days ago when he sat with his father after his father came out of surgery, and his father told him how happy he was to have Joel there with him.
He said: To those who are feeling very alone tonight, please know that I understand how you feel, that things will get easier. Please stick around to make those happy memories for yourself. It may not seem like it tonight, but they will. And the attitudes of society will change. Please, live long enough to be there to see it."
Joel ended by encouraging anyone who needs help or resources to deal with the issue of LGBT teen suicide to contact TheTrevorProject.org or to call him directly at 817-392-8809. "And you can call me, and I will get you whatever resources you need," he promised.
As Joel finished, his fellow councilmember and friend Kathleen Hicks led the rest of the council and those in the council chambers in a standing ovation for Joel and his courage. I think he deserves a standing ovation from all of us, as well. Because last night, Joel Burns did us all proud, and maybe — just maybe — he helped save someone's life.

Rough day for Rays in 11-2 loss
The Rays' five-game spring winning streak came to an abrupt halt Thursday in an 11-2 loss to the Tigers.
Roberto Hernandez overcame a shaky first to turn in a solid overall 2 1/3 inning outing to continue his bid for a spot in the rotation. LHP Matt Moore was not sharp in his debut, having trouble locating and throwing only in the low 90s, but said he felt fine and was just glad to get the first outing over,
Also pitching were Joel Peralta and Cesar Ramos, who did well, and Jake McGee, who did not, though he said he was working on his cutter today and not throwing his fastball at full velocity.
Evan Longoria and red-hot Leslie Anderson had two more hits each.
The Rays play in Dunedin on Friday, with Jake Odorizzi making the start. Key players on the trip include Matt Joyce, Desmond Jennings, Wil Myers, Jose Molina, Sean Rodriguez.

|Adult females with CPP living in Denmark
Other: Chronic pelvic pain
A physioterapeutic examination of abnormal muscular findings, i.e tonus, elasticitt and strength, in the pelvic area connected to female CPP.
Detailed Description:
The aim of this study is to investigate the frequency and severity of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in adult women living in Copenhagen Country and Zealand Country (total population 2,4 million), Denmark, in relation to selected factors, such as basic demographic and clinical factors, health related quality of life, physical activity and abnormal muscular findings in the pelvic area.
The study is designed as a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based survey and two randomly selected age stratified groups of the responding participating women, one with or one without pain, will receive a clinical examination by a specialist physiotherapist for abnormal muscular finding in the pelvic, lower abdominal or inguinal area.
Descriptive characteristics will be obtained by univariate analysis and presented as means with standard deviations, or percentages. T test and the Mann-Whitney test will be used to analyze continuous data with and without normal distribution, respectively, and the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test will be used to analyze categorical data, as appropriate. Correlation between self-reported CPP and abnormal muscular findings will be analysed. Logistic regression analysis will be used to identify the independent variables significantly associated with CPP. For logistic regression analysis, we will select only those findings that are significant as determined by Fisher's exact or the Chi-square test, with values of 0 and 1 assigned to the absence and presence, respectively, of each variable in each subject.

Making sure employees under age 21 wont serve alcohol to other minors is the purpose of a bill in the General Affairs Committee Monday, March 4.
Under the LB 444, introduced by Sen. Bob Krist of Omaha, employees who sell alcohol would have to complete a training course to do so.
Underage workers could sell in a licensed retail establishment as long as another authorized person who is at least 21 was on the premise, essentially supervising the sale.
Krist said the legislation is necessary because minors who sell alcohol might be pressured into selling their underage peers a drink. Alcohol servers and sellers now have to be 19 years old.
Proponent Brenda Worth said she was in favor of the bill because her brother and nephew died as a result of being served by minors.
Worth said there is a lot of peer pressure in small towns for minors to serve their friends on top of more responsibility.
They themselves arent old enough to drink and then they also have to make a decision on whether or not to serve this person and to cut off this person who might be 21 years old, she said.
Kathy Siefken, director of the Nebraska Grocery Industry Association, opposed the bill because some retailers already have training and certification programs. Siefken said the proposed requirement would increase costs without being very effective.
Under the bill, a persons certification would have to be renewed every three years. Siefken said that wouldnt be enough training to stop the problem. What would stop it would be managers, according to Siefken.
A deterrent are those good managers that repeat that training on a regular basis and thats how you stop the sales to minors, she said.
Along with these issues, Seifken said an enforcement provision in the bill allows for the revocation of liquor licenses for retailers who has any one uncertified employee. That is problematic.
That seems a little harsh to revoke a license because one person slipped through the cracks, she said.
5-cent beer tax
The General Affairs Committee also heard testimony regarding LB 653, which would increase tax on beer by 5 cents a gallon.
Sen. Al Davis of Hyannis, the bills introducer, said 27 percent of Nebraskas criminal activity last year was related to alcohol.
Davis said the tax on beer would put revenue into Nebraskas law enforcement to help with the increased workload to which alcohol-related incidents contribute.
The 5-cent increase would bring the total tax on beer to 36 cents a gallon.
Siefken also testified against LB 653, saying that $2.3 million would be taken from Nebraska taxpayers, but Davis said the tax would be miniscule and wouldnt affect people who dont drink beer.
This tax would be about a nickel on a 12-pack, he said.
No one testified in favor of the bill.
