It's nice to be able to go through a drive through and get something good that is American Comfort Food. Surprisingly they are not busier but considering the American pallet, I guess I can understand.
Very clean, pleasant, comfortable atmosphere with immaculate restroom. Staff were extremely attentive & friendly in greeting customers immediately & ensuring all was well with customers throughout visit. They carefully explained their menu & made suggestions. Chicken & mashed potatoes were real comfort food, served hot & cooked well. I experienced no problems and had no complaints. Food is not the...
Saw Boston Market on Undercover Boss and thought "that sounds so good!" So I went to the Boston Market in Cranberry. I hadn't been here in years!!! Just like on TV-I was greeted by the boy at the counter. (Although not by everyone-but who cares!) he was super helpful. The chicken mashed potato corn gravy bowl is the best thing!!!...
This is not your average fast food restaurant visit. (This review is based on three visits over the past month or so.)
This Boston Market has chosen to up the quality of their customers' visits. They have done so by increasing the service that their guest receive without raising their prices.
Guests have their orders quickly placed. If a line...
Food was so so. The potatoes were cold and hard. Think they needed another 10-15 minutes of cooking time. When we first walked into the store, no one acknowledged us or took our order though we were the only ones in line. Finally we walked over to one of the employees and asked him if he worked there and would...
Everytime we went the chicken was undercooked. We would tell them when we went in the next time & again it's undercooked. We gave them 3 tries after that, 3 strikes you're out.
The food taste good going down, but my family always ends up sick after we eat here.
This was the last time. We won't be going back.
We had to bring food back to the house due to my wife's broken ankle and lack of mobility. Package meal was more than adequate and very tasty. Service was quick and options were diverse enough to satisfy four different tastes.
Boston Market when a true find years ago when it just pened. Now the food is dull, unhealthy and overpriced for the slop that it is.
Off the main road. I just went through the drive-thru and ordered soup. The chicken noodle soup had too many onions in it and the crackers they gave me to go with it were crushed.

A Primer of Special Relativity

Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreA Primer of Special Relativity1 is an unusually lucid introduction to the subject specifically written for Indian students. It is intended to give the beginner a firm grounding for a more advanced course in relativity. An entire chapter is devoted to applications of the theory to elucidate a large number of topics the students (B.Sc. Physics) come across in Modern Physics. Detailed and well-selected examples are used to illuminate aspects of the theory as well as to show techniques of application. A large number of Illustrative Examples enables the students to gain confidence to solve any problem in relativity normally expected of B.Sc. students. The Book meets the complete requirements of a textbook for B.Sc. General and Honours courses in special theory of relativity recommended by the U.G.C. Existing syllabi in a number of our universities have been taken into account in planning the book. The structure of the book permits a lot of flexibility. The book can therefore be used as a text for a number of existing courses (with different allotted periods) presently prevalent in many Indian Universities. less

I just scored 68.2% on the LastPass Security Challenge
Better, but I'm not there yet. Truth is, I haven't been working on the existing passwords and there are now many, many sites that I no longer even log into. I did my first LastPass Security Challenge on July 11, 2010 and reported on it in this article: I Just Scored 55.7% on the LastPass Security Challenge. Here are my key results this time:
Top strength rating for passwords is 100% – my average is 63.9% Yikes!
24 unique passwords are used on more than one site – a definite no-no.
101 sites are using duplicate passwords – some of these are OK, but poor practice.
29 of my passwords score below 50% strength rating.
Average password length is 9.1 characters – 10 characters would be better.
One key factor that has greatly improved: Multifactor Authentication Score is 7/10. That's probably due to my using the Yubikey.
Can a hacker catch your HP printer on fire?
There has been a furor today over some Columbia University researchers' claims that certain HP printers can be compromised by hackers via "Remote Firmware Update" and made to overheat or catch fire. This article on redtape.msnbc.com is the first one I was aware of and leads with:
Could a hacker from half-way around the planet control your printer and give it instructions so frantic that it could eventually catch fire? Or use a hijacked printer as a copy machine for criminals, making it easy to commit identity theft or even take control of entire networks that would otherwise be secure?
It's not only possible, but likely, say researchers at Columbia University, who claim they've discovered a new class of computer security flaws that could impact millions of businesses, consumers, and even government agencies.
You can read the article and decide for yourself it this is a real threat or just sensational journalism. My take is that I'm not going to worry about it unless it starts happening in the wild. Naturally, HP responded and while I'm no HP apologist, I tend to view their stance as justified. You can read HP's statement which leads with:
Today there has been sensational and inaccurate reporting regarding a potential security vulnerability with some HP LaserJet printers. No customer has reported unauthorized access. Speculation regarding potential for devices to catch fire due to a firmware change is false.
HP LaserJet printers have a hardware element called a "thermal breaker" that is designed to prevent the fuser from overheating or causing a fire. It cannot be overcome by a firmware change or this proposed vulnerability.
While HP has identified a potential security vulnerability with some HP LaserJet printers, no customer has reported unauthorized access. The specific vulnerability exists for some HP LaserJet devices if placed on a public internet without a firewall.
HP says it is working on a firmware upgrade to address the security vulnerability.
Think you can spot a Phish?
The cyber-criminals are getting pretty good at perpetrating their phishing scams. Even those of us in the know sometimes have trouble spotting them. Find out how well you fare in the OpenDNS Phishing Quiz:
"Ever wonder how good you are at telling the difference between a legitimate website and one that's a phishing attempt? Take this quiz to find out how well you can identify which websites are real and which ones are really good at stealing your personal information. Vote for each website you see as either "Phish" or "Real." When you're done, we'll tell you how you did. Good luck!"
Here are my results:
Congrats! You correctly identified 5 out of 10 websites in the OpenDNS phishing ID quiz!
Nice work! You've got a good eye for what's legitimate and what isn't. If you haven't already, consider setting up OpenDNS for those times when you think the website you're about to head to is real… but aren't quite sure.
Good luck!
Video – Sophos: The state of cyber security 2011
Everyone involved in cyber security (which should be every one of us working in the IT field) should find this video from security firm Sophos quite interesting. It outlines latest trends in cyber crime, what you can do to protect yourself, and how the government can work with the private sector to help share information. Speakers include Michael Kaiser of NCSA, Chester Wisniewski of Sophos Inc and Rob Strayer of the Bipartisan Policy Center. It's more than 1.5 hours long, so grab a beverage of choice, sit back and relax.

Beware fake iTunes gift certificate malware
With the kickoff to holiday shopping the day after US Thanksgiving–"Black Friday" as it is commonly known–come the spammers, scammers and thieves. There will undoubtedly be waves of fake gift card deals and other "click candy" full of scams and malware. A big one floating around right now is a fake iTunes gift certificate. It arrives with the subject line "iTunes Gift Certificate" and contains an attachment that is supposedly the gift code. The attachment is a ZIP file containing malware. (Sophos detects this file as Mal/BredoZp-B.)
This is nothing new; we always see such things around the big holidays. But there are a few things you can do to avoid getting fooled. Here's a list from Sophos's Naked Security Blog:
Here are some other things to watch out for, adapted from a list posted by USA Today:
* Beware bogus forms. Beware emails and pop-up messages that ask you to type your account username and password, credit card number or personal information such as Social Security number and date of birth. Legitimate organizations don't solicit sensitive information via email.
* Don't blindly believe urgent, personalized warnings. Phishers often claim that you need to take urgent action with official organisations such as IRS (taxation), Social Security or the Department of Motor Vehicles.
* Don't fall for that cute-baby photo. Even if you recognise the sender's name, don't open attachments. Distrust all email until and unless you've verified that the sender actually intended you to get the message and can vouch for its content.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving and stay safe out there!
Five essential steps to mitigating password attack threats
After a bit of a hiatus on my studies for various certifications, I have gotten back into the swing of things and found a bit of wisdom that I wanted to share. From a Network Admin perspective, here are five essential password policies that will help you mitigate the threat of password attacks on your network:
- Do not allow the same password to be used on multiple resources. If an attacker manages to get one password, he will then have them all if the same password is used on more than one resource.
- Lockout a user account after a set number of failed login attempts. This defeats brute force password cracking attempts.
- Do not allow cleartext storage of passwords. Self-explanatory.
- Use strong passwords. Repeat: use strong passwords. Alternative: encourage passphrases. "mykittenpreferswhiskas" is very unguessable, but easily remembered.
- NEVER, NEVER, NEVER allow default passwords to remain on devices on your network. "Admin/admin" is too easy and is one of the first things a cracker will try. On any new device, immediately change the default username and password.
Seriously, these are so obvious that I haven't even written about them all in one post before. I confess that I have sometimes forgotten one or more of them.
Don't get complacent. Fix these now.
25 Worst passwords of 2011
It sometimes seems like no one is listening when it comes to good password practices. I stress best practice with end users at every opportunity and though I always get the old okey-doke head nod, they rarely listen. The problem is, people are lazy and don't want to be bothered with creating good passwords, to say nothing of managing all of them.
It's no surprise to find what security firm SplashData says are the top 25 worst passwords of 2011. In fact, it's even less of a surprise that I have seen fully two-thirds of these passwords in use by people I know:
1. password
2. 123456
3. 12345678
4. qwerty
5. abc123
6. monkey
7. 1234567
8. letmein
9. trustno1
10. dragon
11. baseball
12. 111111
13. iloveyou

A security Geek's work is never done…
Microsoft releases temporary fix for critical Windows bug
Microsoft has issued a temporary fix for a critical Windows vulnerability that has already been exploited to install highly sophisticated malware that targeted manufacturers of industrial systems.
In an advisory issued late Thursday, Microsoft said the previously unknown flaw in the Win32k TrueType font-parsing engine affected every supported version of Windows, including Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008, which are the most secure to date. The critical vulnerability was recently exploited to spread Duqu, malware that some researchers say was derived from last year's Stuxnet worm that sabotaged Iran's uranium enrichment program.
"An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode," the advisory warned. "The attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights."
The accompanying Fix it is designed to protect against exploits until a permanent patch is issued. The company didn't indicate when that would happen, except to say it wouldn't be before next Tuesday's regularly scheduled security update release.
Jerry Bryant, a spokesman in Microsoft's Response Communications and Trustworthy Computing groups, said here that the company has already shared technical details with security partners.
"This means that within hours, anti-malware firms will roll out new signatures that detect and block attempts to exploit this vulnerability," he explained. "Therefore, we encourage customers to ensure their antivirus software is up-to-date."
He went on to say risk of exploitation remains low.
"However, that is subject to change so we encourage customers to either apply the workaround or ensure their anti-malware vendor has added new signatures based on the information we've provided them to ensure protections are in place for this issue." ®
Happy Halloween!
IMHO, no writer in history embodies the essence of Halloween more that Edgar Allen Poe whom I consider the creator of the horror genre (yes, I know he's credited as the creator of detective-fiction and contributor to the science fiction genre but he dealt more in the macabre than anything else).
Poe's short story, "The Gold Bug," is what got me interested in ciphers and encryption as a young boy; a collection of his most popular short stories is what inspired me to become a writer.
So, on this Halloween 2011 I present a very special reading of Poe's famous poem, "The Raven." Enjoy!

I love white bar tape, but it is hard to keep clean. The dual bar tape in black/white allowed me to keep a bit of white on the drops and black on the flats, where I spend more time.
Also, the Lizard Skins tape is comfortable and has a great tactile feel.
Better than the Best
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Have used plenty of other types of bar type (cork, fizik, etc.) and finally got this tape from the recommendation of a friend. This stuff is easily the best. I like to feel the bars and am not a fan of an ultra cushy grip because at high speeds it can be worrisome. This grip meets in the middle though. Incredibly comfortable, good touch (I don't wear gloves), and I still feel like I have control of the bike. Only thing is that it is tough to clean...Will stay with these grips always now

Super nice padding, and texture. This is my favorite grip tape. Comfy without sacrificing grip. 5 stars.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
That's the best description I can offer. This bar tape is very soft but doesn't prevent feeling the bars or cables if underneath. Definitely the most comfortable tape I have used and will continue to use in the future. I opted for the white blue and it looks awesome if you can get the transition point right.
Nick, do you have a pic of your tap job?
Michael Clark
I got this wrap for my birthday. Nice and cushy, and super grippy. I've only had it on for about a week so we will see how it holds up. I did a 50 miler the day after I put it on and it was much more comfortable that the Fisik tape I had on. Definitley recommend!

You Think You Know Tool?
No matter how big a fan of the band you are, we bet there a few things you don't know about Tool.
No matter how big a fan of the band you are, we bet there a few things you don't know about Tool.
Thanks to guitarist Adam Jones, Tool have shared an essential piece of the recording process.
Congrats are in order for Tool / A Perfect Circle / Puscifer frontman Maynard James Keenan, who just became a father again.
There are 50th birthday celebrations and then there's what Maynard James Keenan did this past weekend at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. The two-night residency at the famed outdoor theater will no doubt go down as a great tour de force of rock and metal music.
Tool / A Perfect Circle / Puscifer frontman Maynard James Keenan's birthday was back in April, but the prolific musician celebrated his 50th in grand fashion on May 10 and May 11. Maynard's 'Cinquanta' event was held at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles and the guest of honor performed with both A Perfect Circle and Puscifer during the occasion.
Believe it or not, Maynard James Keenan is celebrating his 50th birthday today (April 17)! The frontman of Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer hasn't lost a step since Tool formed in 1990, and he has gone on to prove himself as one of music's most talented and dynamic vocalists.
Every hardcore Tool fan (and there are a LOT of them) has wondered what the inside of singer Maynard James Keenan's home looks like. You may imagine Maynard dwelling in some sort of psychedelic kaleidoscope or even one of the worlds created for a Tool music video, and you wouldn't be entirely incorrect. Luckily, if you've got $2.795 million burning a hole in your pocket, you can buy Maynard's home in the Hollywood Hills.
Maynard James Keenan once said, "F--- your tattoos," in a little song called 'Ænima,' but the vocalist hasn't let that statement stop him from getting some ink of his own. Maynard has sported a few tats for a while now, but the musician / cult leader has just gotten himself an entire half-sleeve on his right arm.
Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer frontman Maynard James Keenan has always managed to see a bigger picture than just music, occasionally dabbling in acting and keeping a keen eye on the visual aspects of his bands' careers. With that in mind, the A.V. Club spoke with Keenan and asked him to mock up a faux film festival that would relate to his artistic output.
2014 is turning into a special year for Maynard James Keenan. The singer recently revealed that two of his bands -- Puscifer and A Perfect Circle -- will perform a special show to mark his 50th birthday. Now comes word that Keenan's third band, Tool, will also get some stage time in 2014.
Do you know what Puscifer is? Sure, Puscifer are an experimental, comedic and electronically-themed rock band featuring Tool / A Perfect Circle singer Maynard James Keenan, but do you really know what Puscifer is? The band questions your understanding, so Puscifer brought in 'Breaking Bad' actor / 'Mr. Show' mastermind Bob Odenkirk to explain.
Maynard James Keenan took a bit of time off his seemingly never-ending work schedule to help train high school wrestlers for a tournament. Keenan, a member of Mason County Central High School's 1982 class, aided 16 wrestlers in preparing for the Optimist Tournament in Scottville, Mich.

RKG's Giving Back Committee had a very busy October, and Charlottesville's Newsplex (CBS 19, ABC 16, Fox 27) covered two great stories about their projects.
First, RKG held a canned dog food drive for the SPCA. (Newplex RKG/SPCA coverage)
RKG also held a Halloween party for Big Brothers/Big Sisters. (Newsplex RKG/BBBS coverage)
Top 10 Job Creator in Virginia
Inc. magazine's Hire Power Awards recognizes America's leading job creators
New York, NY (October 24, 2013) – Search and digital marketing agency, RKG, ranked among the top job creators in the advertising & marketing industry in the US – and is the highest ranking full-service search and digital agency in the 2nd annual Inc. Hire Power Awards, recognizing the private businesses that have generated the most jobs in the past three years.
RKG generated a 56% increase in jobs from January 1st, 2012 to June 30th 2013, placing it among the top private business job creators within the advertising & marketing industry, as well as being a top 10 job creator in Virginia – ranking #8 in the state. Headquartered in Charlottesville, VA, RKG hired over 73 people during the eligibility period.
This year, RKG was named the fastest-growing search agency by Advertising Age and experienced over 80% growth in 2012. The agency continues to grow and is now hiring: www.rkgjobs.com.
"RKG helps clients get discovered in a digital world," said George Gallate, CEO of RKG. "Working with more of the IR Top 500 retailers than any other digital marketing agency, we have built our reputation by building their businesses – we're smart people, working with proprietary technology. While we're proud of our business growth and the results we achieve for clients – we're most proud to be a top US job creator."
RKG is among the 437 private growth companies that are HIRE POWER AWARDS honorees, leading the way in creating more American jobs.
RKG Q3 2013 Report: Google Spending Growth Stable Through Enhanced Campaigns Transition, Smartphone CPCs Down
RKG Makes Recommendations for Marketers Heading into Q4
RKG, a leading search and digital marketing agency, today released its Digital Marketing Report covering the third quarter of 2013. Across its client base, which includes over 40 of the top 500 online retailers, RKG found that Google search spending growth was stable at 18% year-over-year, despite advertisers reducing average smartphone cost per click (CPC) in conjunction with the transition to Google's new Enhanced Campaign model.
RKG has consistently shown a wide range in the value of ad clicks across device types, with smartphones generating an average revenue per click that was 74% lower than desktops in Q3. Utilizing RKG's upgraded proprietary Adaptive Bid Management technology, and taking advantage of Enhanced Campaigns' improved ability to capture long-tail traffic, RKG advertisers were able to hit more demanding ROI targets for mobile, while maintaining traffic levels.
For the full third quarter, tablets and smartphones combined to generate 30% of search ad clicks, up from 28% in the prior quarter. With smartphone CPCs reduced from 60% of desktop levels to 35%, mobile spending share was flat from Q2 to Q3 at 24%.
While mobile continues to drive the bulk of search volume growth, with smartphone and tablet spending up 66% and 79% Y/Y on Google respectively, advertisers reinvested gains from their mobile ROI improvement back into desktop, which saw spending growth jump from 1% in Q2 to 10% in Q3.
As marketers head into the all-important holiday season, relevant learnings are to:
- Revisit your mobile strategy to invest smartly. New mobile opportunities with Enhanced Campaigns are paying off but you must adjust your strategy to capture better performing mobile traffic.
- Have an air-tight Product Listing Ad (PLA) strategy. If you're a retailer and are not leveraging PLAs, you should be. In Q3 alone, Google PLAs drove 35% of non-brand search clicks.
- With Google's change to secure search, query data is becoming entirely "not provided". This comes at a critical time for marketers, find solutions – like RKG Blueprint – that can help surface "not provided" query data and help continue to inform your SEO strategy.

RKG's Chief Knowledge Officer Adam Audette recently contributed to an ebook titled SEO Experts Reveal the Truth About Marketing. Read more here: SEO Experts Ebook
RKG has made the 2013 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing private companies in America. At #1889, RKG has a 201% 3-year growth and ranks at #199 for Advertising & Marketing industry companies making the list. You can find the full list here: 2013 Inc. 5000 Full List.
INC 500 Coverage:
The Daily Progress
Enhanced Campaigns Having Only Minor Impact on Overall Trends
RKG, a leading full-service digital marketing agency, released its Digital Marketing Report covering the second quarter of 2013 today. Across its client base, which includes over 40 of the top 500 online retailers, RKG found that Google search spending grew nearly 18% year over year as average cost per click rose 10%.
While many industry watchers are expecting Google's new Enhanced Campaign model to bolster the search giant's growth by driving up mobile competition and click costs, RKG results suggest the impacts of the change have been minor to date for larger advertisers.
According to RKG Director of Research, Mark Ballard, "Smartphone CPCs did gain ground on desktop in the second quarter, but that only contributed about one percentage point to Google's total growth in click costs."
Looking ahead, Ballard noted "While there may be increased volatility over the next month as the mandatory transition date for Enhanced Campaigns passes, there's no reason to believe a smartphone click will suddenly become much more valuable. Advertisers will need to keep their CPCs in check in order to keep hitting their ROI targets."
Although smartphone traffic continues to be a net drag on total CPC growth, with average click costs 40% lower than desktop, it is still providing a large lift to total paid search click and spending growth. While desktop clicks were down 7% year over year in Q2, smartphone clicks rose 179% and tablet clicks rose 115%.
Mobile Devices Generating a Wide Range in Value for Advertisers
RKG's data on the average revenue per click generated for different mobile devices offers insight into why smartphone CPCs remain well below those for traditional computers and offers a compelling counterpoint to the notion of device convergence.
As a group, smartphones generated an average revenue per click (RPC) that was 78% lower than desktops. Even within the tablet device class, RPC exhibited a high degree of variance across specific models in Q2. Clicks by shoppers using the iPad were over twice as valuable as clicks from shoppers using the Kindle Fire.

"Its ok but can be an annoying place to work "
- Work/Life Balance
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
You have oppurtunity to make commission, its a laid back enviorment. They give away prizes all the time. If you just need a job while your looking for another job, they are a good start.
You have to constantly keep up with the fluctuating commission because they will short your check if you dont pay attention. The enviorment is laid back but a little too laid back at times because employees can get loud and that includes the supervisors. They hire you for one thing then switch you to something else, give you shorter hours and give you a few days of pointless training cause you walk out more confused then you did walking in. You cant really plan anything with your check because its based on commission. If you dont sale your check is under 600. If you dont make sales they whine and if you make too many sales they whine and get suspicious. Its mainly a place young people work. 24 and under, so there is a lot of immaturity and temper tantrums going on.
Advice to Management
You need more professionalism, and you need to train your employees better. Stop threatening staff with their jobs and just give positive reinforcement. Give people the job, salary, and hours you promised them when you hired them. Improve on payroll. People shouldnt constantly have to be compensated because you short their check all the time.

The work environment is fast paced and the management does their best to make sure you succeed no matter what position you are in. The benefits are pretty good and there is the opportunity to move up if you can demonstrate the ability to do so. The center is pretty nice and well kept. There are prizes and weekly drawings for big ticket items and employees of the week to keep up morale.
My only downside to working here (which they are currently fixing) is that they are a young company and are still working out the kinks and still finding out what works and what doesn't in many categories. Their infrastructure could use an overhaul with the focus being on computers. Being employed third party means that things can change very fast.
Advice to Management
The management is making leaps and bounds in how they are giving incentives for employees. They also are always listening to the representatives through focus groups on how they can do things better. Please continue to keep up the good work to make sure that there is a healthy and happy sales floor.

Cancer insurance policies offered by PMI providers have been criticised for lack of clarity and ambiguous terminology that may result in people being excluded from treatment, according to a study by Mercer and Cancerbackup, the cancer charity.
The study, 'Covering Cancer: Survey of Corporate healthcare / Private Medical Insurance (PMI) providers', surveyed 11 major UK PMI providers to assess each of their main corporate medical insurance policies for cancer, including issues such as scope and standard of cover, treatments included within the cover and limits on cover.
According to Steve Clements, principal in Mercer's health & benefits team, "One in three people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer at some stage in their life. Some of the new and sometimes expensive treatments which are now emerging are, as yet, unavailable through the NHS. So understandably, cancer cover is an area of focus for companies purchasing private healthcare. PMI providers are using it to differentiate themselves from their competitors. Whilst there have been substantial improvements, there is continued ambiguity over what is and isn't covered in some cases. Eligibility rules for chronic conditions, for example, can sometimes mean cancer treatments will effectively be excluded or cut short. Transparency and clarity must be improved.
New therapies are coming into the market. Some of these will lead to long-term treatments where the goal is to slow the spread of the disease, prolong life or improve the quality of life by easing the symptoms, rather than to cure. PMI providers must be clearer about whether or not these will be covered in their policies."
The report highlights that, while PMI providers have a similar view on how cancer care should be covered in the context of private medical insurance, the cover varies from one PMI provider to the next. For example, there are differing views on the funding of high cost monoclonal antibodies or biological therapies such as Herceptin, Avastin and Velcade.
Most PMI providers who completed the questionnaire said that they did not cover palliative care or treatment for terminal cancer. Some PMI providers, however, were less specific. Rather than ceasing cover when cancer reaches a certain stage, they apply eligibility rules to specific cancer treatments, so they fall under the chronic rules and are therefore not covered. The report noted that most PMI providers did not actually define cancer as a chronic condition.
The report also notes that PMI providers often use the phrase 'active treatment' for cancer to govern their decisions on cover for a particular course of treatment. This allows certain treatments to be covered for very specific reasons (e.g. radiotherapy to shrink a tumour) but others to be excluded (e.g. hormone therapy of on-going control of spread and symptoms). The term active treatment is often only loosely explained in the policy document.
According to Derryn Borley, head of Cancer Support Services at Cancerbackup, "It is not imperative to buy the most expensive cover but there should be total clarity on what is and isn't covered. There should be clear and seamless mechanisms in place to transfer the treatment from private care into public care and back into private when necessary. Ultimately the patients' treatment should not be compromised. PMI providers' decisions on whether certain treatments are covered or not are taken on a case by case basis. There is a need to improve the openness and transparency around the extent of the coverage for cancer. People need to fully understand the term 'Active Treatment' when it's used."
According to the report, companies looking to provide their employees with an uncompromised level of cancer cover should consider the AXA PPP Healthcare 'Corporate Healthcare, VIP & Executive Plan' with the optional enhanced cancer cover, the BUPA Premier Insurance Policy and the PruHealth Comprehensive policy. These policies meet the 'Gold Standard'. The gold standard of cancer cover is defined by Cancerbackup as the funding of all treatment intended to affect the growth of the cancer by shrinking the cancer, stabilising it or slowing the spread of the disease, as well as relieving symptoms.
"There is a price attached to the 'Gold Standard' and so other PMI policies are all viable options for corporate healthcare plans in the right scenario" commented Steve Clements, "but the purchaser should be aware of the lesser levels of cover for cancer care through these policies. It's vital that companies seek clarity from the PMI provider on how cases will be managed when employees reach the limit of their cover but still need treatment, particularly if this treatment is unavailable through the NHS. Most of the PMI providers we surveyed do have some flexibility around the cover they provide in this area, and so may be able to offer tailored solutions so that clients can strike the right balance between comprehensive cover and affordability."

Save time and money by making your own eyeglass cleaner. This is a guide about homemade eyeglass cleaner recipes.
Read and rate the best solutions below by giving them a "thumbs up".
Save money and help the environment by making your own eyeglass cleaner. Just use 3 parts rubbing alcohol and 1 part water. Add a couple of drops of dish soap. Pour into spray bottle, shake to mix well and you're done!
By Debbie
This is so simple, inexpensive and effective. After I've finished washing up the breakfast things in hot soapy water, I dip my glasses into the washing up bowl and swirl them around, then dry them on the tea towel before drying any of the cereal bowls. My husband does the same.
We decided the optician's solution was far too expensive to warrant buying it regularly and find that this is an ideal substitute. I think if the washing up were to include many greasy things then I would wash my glasses first, making sure the water wasn't too hot and using the ordinary washing up liquid.
Our optician actually suggested this method and we've used it for many years.
By Anne from UK
I keep rubbing alcohol in a small 2 oz. spray bottle. I use it to clean my glasses. You could also use your own homemade glass cleaner, but I find it easier to just fill it with the rubbing alcohol. Don't forget to label the bottle "Eyeglass Cleaner" or "Rubbing Alcohol".
We were told when we purchased our eyeglasses to just use alcohol in a small spray bottle. We both have special non-glare finishes. The lenses had been damaged on past glasses by other cleaning methods, but this one works beautifully!
By Elgie
I called up my optical place where I bought my glasses. They have free cleaning cloths just for my glasses which are progressive lenses. I wash them often in warm water, squeeze it out, and lay it to dry. I do not put in the washer or dryer at all. This works for me and perhaps it will for you all as well.
By Sarah
First of all, you have to determine what kind of lens you have in your glasses. If they are glass and do not have a no-glare coating they can be cleaned with just about anything that you would use on a water glass. However, putting them in the dishwasher might mess up the frame! Then they can be polished dry with a cloth or a paper towel.
If they are plastic (lexan or one of the other plastics) it is best to just clean them with water and polish dry with a very soft cloth. Do not use paper! Paper will eventually scratch the plastic.
If they have a special no-glare coating it is best to consult with the optometrist who made them and follow her instructions exactly.
It is not a good idea to cheap out on cleaning something that may have cost you over $300!

Does anyone have a recipe for a homemade eye glasses cleaner?
By John from New Albany, MS
By ann [9]09/13/2010
I use a mix of water and white vinegar in a spray pump bottle and dry it with a napkin.
Thrifty Fun has been around so long that many of our pages have been reset several times. Archives are older versions of the page and the feedback that was provided then.
My optician has told me the best formula no matter what type of eyeglasses or coatings you have on your lenses is as follows: Fill a spray bottle (any size will do) with 3/4 rubbing alcohol and 1/4 water. Put in a few drops of dish soap. Spray both sides of each lens and rub clean with a soft cloth. Never use paper towels, toilet paper or Kleenex as they contain harsh abrasives that will scratch your lenses.

I purchased a 3 oz. bottle of Ultra Clarity eye glass cleaner from an optical shop. I'd like to make my own copycat solution, because this stuff can get quite expensive. The back of the spray bottle reads that it is actually made with rubbing alcohol. I've made my own solution before by adding a small amount of rubbing alcohol to some water.
And I make sure that I shake it before squirting it on my lenses. I then use a soft cloth to buff the lenses. My homemade solution works okay, but doesn't clean my plastic lenses as well as the professional product. My homemade solution still leaves some cloudy spots on the lenses whereas the stuff that I bought from the optical shop does a much better job. I don't want to take the risk of adding Windex, rubbing alcohol, and water because I could end up ruining my $400.00+ pair of glasses. Does anyone in the Thrifty community know the secret formula?

Does anyone know of a good recipe for homemade eyeglass cleaner?
By crazygrandma from Oregon City, OR
It is just like the eyeglass cleaner that is sold in optical shops and at a fraction of the cost. I saved the 1 oz. pump bottle that I got from the optical shop and I always carry one in my purse.

How do I make a cheap, safe, and effective eyeglass cleaner?

Alleged Santa Cruz bar attack probed as hate crime
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) - Santa Cruz police are investigating as a hate crime an alleged attack on a gay man at a downtown nightclub.
Police spokesman Zach Friend said Tuesday detectives believe the 31-year-old man was assaulted Saturday night at the Blue Lagoon because of his sexual orientation.
The alleged victim told police a man yelled gay slurs at him outside the bar and then attacked him inside, leaving him with bruises and cuts.
Police have identified the suspect as 24-year-old Cole White of Redwood City. A warrant for his arrest has been issued.
A hate crime allegation can add one year to a jail or prison sentence. In 2009, Santa Cruz police investigated eight hate crimes.

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West Spend Easter Weekend Together in Paris, Shop For Baby Clothes: Picture
Back to basics! Kim Kardashian and boyfriend Kanye West kept things casual during a stroll through Paris on Tuesday, April 2 as they took in the sights and sounds of the City of Lights.
Kardashian, who stepped out in three different maternity outfits in one day just last week, kept herself (and her growing baby bump!) amply covered up in an all-black ensemble that only showed a hint of lace.
PHOTOS: Kim Kardashian's baby bump style
The Kim and Kourtney Take Miami star opted for black stretch pants with a white stripe down the length of her leg in place of her usual leather-and lace skirts, and kept her arms similarly covered up in a loose black cardigan.
She topped off her look with a pair of simple, black pointy-toed pumps.
PHOTOS: Kim and Kanye: The perfect match
West, 35, similarly kept his look casually chic in a grey hood, black pants and an oversized black jacket.
The pair spent Saturday, March 30, racing around the city in a black porsche, a source tells Us Weekly.
"It's a really sports, powerful car, and Kim was loving it," the source said. "She might be pregnant and preparing to settle down, but she was determined to act like a sporty girl-about-town."
PHOTOS: Kim and Kanye's sweetest PDA moments
Two days later, the parents-to-be ditched their flashy ride for some calmer activities, shopping at Bonpoint, a French children's store on Monday, April 1.
Kardashian has been getting her share of criticism for her fashion choices in recent weeks, but the reality star said in a recent interview that she refuses to cave in to pressure from naysayers, even when times get tough.
"Kourtney warned me when you become a mom and become pregnant, there will be this whole new group of critics that will criticize me for everything you do," she said on Good Morning America on March 26. "If I wear one color clothes, I'm in this kind of mood. Or if I wear heels, they're harmful."
But the truth, she revealed in her interview, is that dressing down -- and wearing flats -- actually physically "hurts" her.
"You know what, they actually hurt my back," she said of why she doesn't wear flats. "I love high heels … Whatever makes me feel good, I want to wear. And I love wearing heels. I'm trying the flats, but we'll see."

General and administrative expenses for the Company were $4.9 million and $5.3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expense during the most recent period resulted from cost reductions implemented during 2010 and a reduction in bad debt expense, partially offset by an increase in legal costs associated with the trial in the case against SIGA.
For the first quarter of 2011 PharmAthene's net loss attributable to common shareholders was $2.1 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to $7.9 million, or $0.28 per share, in the same period of 2010. The year-over-year decrease in net loss includes the impact of the change in fair value of the Company's derivative instruments, which was $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in fair value, which became a source of other income, was primarily associated with a decrease in PharmAthene's stock price from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011.
As of March 31, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and net U.S. government accounts receivables and other receivables, including unbilled receivables, totaling approximately $18.7 million compared to $21.6 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease at March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to the net impact of cash used to fund operations.
"We continued to make steady progress in the first quarter of 2011 and achieved important program milestones," remarked Eric I. Richman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We achieved several technical milestones with respect
