Visitors to our home may find books and toys strewn about and dishes on the counter, but the bathroom will look nice and tidy. That is because I keep a canister of Clorox wipes under the sink and do a quick, frenzied wipe-down when people stop over. (If I have time, I hit the kitchen sink, too.)
Clorox recently updated their wipe canisters, introducing a new Décor line of eight trendy and fashionable designs. Lucky me - I just had a chance to try out the Purple Palm style. The canister is so pretty you can display it right on your countertop, instead of relegating it to the deep recesses of the cabinet.
Actually, Clorox redesigned the whole package not just the look. The new canisters feature a different wider shape, a larger dispensing mouth and an easy-to-use single sheet dispensing system. I no longer get frustrated trying to get one wipe out of the container. I do love that Lemon Fresh smell. A big thanks to all the engineers and designers who came up with this new dispensing system! And, even though I probably won't leave mine out on the countertop (with small kids my cleaning supplies stay locked in the cabinet), every time I get the wipes out and use them, the new design brightens my day.
To celebrate the redesign, Clorox held a Design It Your Way Contest last month. They've selected 10 finalists and you can vote for your favorite design from April 1-15, 2009 and enter the Redesign Clean contest to win a $1,000 Macy's shopping spree.
Try them for free! Clorox has sent me a few coupons for free canisters of the new Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, and I'm giving four away to one lucky Brimful Curiosities reader. You can share the wealth with your friends! ($22 value - Each coupon is worth $5.49)
To enter, visit Redesign Clean and let me know which of the 8 current designs is your favorite.

Even though I am English, I still take an interest in American politics. At the moment, I am despairing that all the main players in this election all seem to be anti-gay and anti-abortion. It sickens me that we live in a world where, despite everything, all people are not equal and two millenia old superstitions still have a tight grip in politics. So here is my question:
As an atheist, who do you want as president?
Views: 1697
When I mentioned borderline-conspiracy-theory ranting, I did not say that it made you a "conspiracist". Similarly, when one contradicts oneself, one does not become a "liar". There's a difference between doing something a few times and being pathological. I bet you told a lie once. Does that make it fair to describe you as a liar? Besides, to lie implies intent to deceive. To make a promise and then be unable to fulfill that promise does not make one a liar. Differences of opinion do not make one a liar, either, especially on enormously complex political issues. Neither do mistakes or errors or being misinformed. I would be willing to bet that 99% of his "lies" fall into one or more of these categories, just like anyone else's would.
He would indeed have to be pretty simple-minded to make promises on every single issue known to mankind. Excellent job knocking down that straw man. I think rational readers are able to discern that "every front" means every issue raised in the campaign, not every single issue known to mankind. He made some promises, and has not come through on all of them. That describes every president ever, as well as every other world leader, and also every other human being.
Then you go off the deep end somewhat. First, the word democracy did not appear in my post, so don't put it in quotes as if it did. I was not pointing out the "ineptitude" of the executive, I was explaining that it is one branch of government and is not the whole of the government. The Supreme Court is also one branch of government with limited powers; that does not make it any more inept than the Executive Branch. I've simply stated that the executive has limited powers because of the structure of our government, whereas you have suggested that presidents aren't in control because they're puppets. If Obama's just a puppet, why are you blaming him for all his supposed lies? That's the real contradiction.
I am indeed suggesting that someone saying the president is "having their strings pulled" is somewhat conspiratorial, because it implies some type of grand and ill-defined conspiracy. Feel free to describe that conspiracy and provide evidence. Be aware that it will be subject to Occam's Razor. If your evidence is poor, I will not believe it. Sound familiar? That's the same line of thought that makes us both atheists.
I am always impressed by how much more knowledgeable people around the world are about the US than the people here are. It is also very disappointing to be an American and realize how uninformed the people here are.
As a citizen of the world, and a very well informed one at that I have a question for you. At what point does the rest of the world see us as an out of control danger that we are quickly becoming. When that does happen what do you think the response will be?
I kind of like Ron Paul. I wish he had stronger beliefs towards Separation of Church and State, but I like his foreign policy (which the media trashes), and he is the only candidate who seems likely to protect the Constitution and the American people from our rogue self-governing government. John Huntsman .....no. I don't trust him at all. His foreign policy will fuck this country straight in the ass. And all the rest are just ...don't even deserve explanations, and I'll just leave it at that. Worst candidate in my opinion? Rick Perry. Screw that guy.
As progressive as some of Ron Paul's stances are on war, drugs, etc...he doesn't accept evolution,and he says he would "follow [Jesus] in all I do and in every position I advocate," and he's received the endorsement of Christian crazyman Chuck Norris. Check out the report card published by the Secular Coalition for America below to see how the candidates rate on issues important to us:
A very clear, informative and helpful reply :) But everyone is raising some very good points that give someone much to think about..I also like Obama though he has plenty of room for improvement, but to be honest, I don't think he has much chance :(
In a word... we're F#$ked. :P Yep... welcome to america... land of christian nuts!
I got an "A" all the way down the card. I should be president.
Camilo Cienfuegos.
Think about it.
"That government is best which governs least." -Thoreau
Ergo: the government that does nothing is the best.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 14, 2013 - HBO has signed John Oliver to star in a topical comedy series slated to launch in 2014, it was announced today by Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming. Presenting a satirical look at the week in news, politics and current events, the weekly show will debut on Sunday nights.
"We weren't otherwise searching for another weekly talk show, but when we saw John Oliver handling host duties on 'The Daily Show,' we knew that his singular perspective and distinct voice belonged on HBO," said Lombardo. "We are extremely excited that John has agreed to make HBO his home."
Oliver commented, "I'm incredibly excited to be joining HBO, especially as I presume this means I get free HBO now. I want to thank Comedy Central, and everyone at 'The Daily Show' for the best seven and a half years of my life. But most of all, I'd like to thank Jon Stewart. He taught me everything I know. In fact, if I fail in the future, it's entirely his fault."
John Oliver is an Emmy(R)- and Writer's Guild Award-winning writer and correspondent for "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," joining the show in 2006. He first came to prominence as a cutting-edge political stand-up performer in the UK, with a string of TV appearances and sold-out solo shows at the Edinburgh Festival. Oliver won the Breakout Award at the Aspen Comedy Festival in 2007 and went on to write and star in the Comedy Central stand-up special "John Oliver: Terrifying Times," followed by the series "John Oliver's New York Stand Up Show," which he has hosted for four seasons. With longtime collaborator Andy Zaltzman, Oliver co-writes and co-presents the popular weekly satirical podcast The Bugle, which currently receives more than 500,000 downloads a week. He also has a recurring role on the network comedy series "Community."
Oliver's tenure as guest host on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" this summer prompted critical raves. The New York Times called him "clever and winning," while the Los Angeles Times described him as "instantly memorable," and the New York Observer said, "John Oliver is the best thing to happen to late night since Colbert."
John Oliver is represented by Avalon Management, WME and attorney Leigh Brecheen.

I was playing around with the Instagram API yesterday to see how many of the images on the popular photo sharing platform actually had geo coordinates associated with the pictures.
It was about 50%, and I will definitely be using more in local sites I'm building.
This morning CityGrid Publisher, Explore.to pointed out their innovative usage of photos from multiple sources.
On their places detail pages, Explore.to doesn't just use the default images for a place, they also pull in geo tagged photos from Foursquare, Instagram and Flickr.
Explore.to is a great example of the power of APIs, and mashing up geo content from multiple sources to make your places search and detail pages much richer and localized by the people who actually have been to these places.Explore.to / Flickr / Foursquare / Images / Instagram / Photos / Places

from R.C. Sproul Nov 28, 2010 Category: R.C. SproulIt was the exodus of the Old Testament that earned the ancient Israelites the description of "pilgrims and sojourners."

from John Gerstner Nov 23, 2010 Category: ArticlesDuring his long, fruitful ministry, Dr. John Gerstner, mentor to R.C. Sproul, wrote a series of primers on various points of theology which were later printed in Primitive Theology. Over the coming weeks we will be sharing his "Primer on the Deity of Christ" as a series of blog posts. Interestingly, the primer is in the form of a dialogue. The dialogue is between ''Inquirer,'' who is an educated, thoughtful person becoming convinced of the truths of the Christian religion (though not yet converted to them), and "Christian,'' an experienced evangelical minister. Here is part three of that dialog. Keep Reading

Grand Theft Auto prides itself on being an open world sandbox where you're free to do whatever you want, whenever you want. Want to steal a car and go on a joyride? You can do that. Want to play tennis? You can do that too. Want to get a lapdance from two girls at once at the local strip club? Heck, you can do that also (just don't let the bouncers catch you touching them).
Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar Games' latest installment in the longstanding franchise, still offers you all those freedoms, but with a particular emphasis on storytelling and character development.
See, Grand Theft Auto V isn't just tits. It isn't just violence. Yes, those are very much parts of the game, but beneath the surface is a much deeper story about three drastically different characters who, despite being terrible people, offer their own unique perspective on the harsh realities of life in a city that parodies modern society.
A first for the series, GTA V allows you to play as three individual characters: Michael, a formal successful bank robber now in retirement and forced to live under the witness protection after a failed heiest; Franklin, a young, up-and-coming gangbanger looking to get out of the projects; and Trevor, a sociopathic meth dealer who has no qualms about killing. Each of these characters is tied to an overarching plot, and it's their individual tendencies and personalities that make Grand Theft Auto V an entertaining joyride.
Along the main narrative, you're free to switch between any of the three main protagonists. Doing so allows you to take in Los Santos through the eyes of three very different people. There's an overarching storyline, but in between the narrative are side missions that further flesh out each of the three characters, turning these monsters into people that you actually feel for. They're despicable people, but they're also complex and nuanced.
Gameplay, at its core, is a variation of one main theme: drive to a location, perform some violent task (usually shooting someone), lose the cops, and drive back. Mission architecture can feel a bit generic; however, it's experiencing these tasks as the individual personalities that make them more exciting. It's the story behind these tasks that make them worthwhile. And while the overall format is repetitive, there are more than enough over-the-top action sequences to keep you entertained throughout.
Even the subtlest of tasks are enthralling for the simple fact that they are setting you up for something much larger. In between the big heists are mini-prep missions that involve you acquiring the necessary equipment to perform a job. For as menial as they may seem, they all build to a much bigger mission and knowing that will keep you progressing.
Heists are by the far the big climax in the mission structure, giving the filler missions a sense of purpose. Prior to each one, you'll be given a number of choices: who to hire, how to break in, how to get away, and so on. Each of these decisions will have an impact on the overall mission. Hiring a lesser experienced thug may cost less, but you get what you pay for. The good news is that crew members gain experience each time you bring them on a heist, so while their abilities increase, their cost stays the same.
Taking advantage of the whole multiple protagonist idea, heists require you to swap between characters on-the-fly, allowing you to experience all aspects of the heist. From sniper to rappelling down a building, you'll perform all of the crucial tasks, cranking up the pressure.
For as much as character swapping brings to the table, GTA is still very much an open world game. And to that end, Rockstar's presentation of Los Santos is flawless. Sheer massiveness aside, the city is filled with minute details that bring it to life. And I'm not even talking about the environment. I'm talking about the sweat that forms on the back of Michael's back when you run for too long in the heat. I'm talking about the unique cell phones that each of the characters uses to receive texts, emails, and phone calls, (or take selfies with). You can even ride the rollercoaster or Ferris wheel at the boardwalk.
There's plenty to do in between the generic missions. There are properties to buy, strip clubs to visit, hookers to "rent," cars to customize, and even an entire Internet where you can play the stock market meta-game. I've yet to master stock trading, but there are plenty of online resources where you can learn how to make a quick buck. Each of the characters also has his own set of stats you can upgrade throughout the game. And if all else fails, you can always go on a massive killing spree.
Or you can simply admire the satire Rockstar has placed within the game. From the radio station talk shows to the in-game Easter eggs to the actual missions, Grand Theft Auto V is loaded with satire aimed at American culture. The game pokes fun at politics, social networking, Apple, hipsters, race, gender, and sexuality; nothing is off limits. But for as funny as some of the bits can be, it can also result in some awkward, uncomfortable experiences.
I had a very hard time playing as Franklin, for example. His particular story is loaded with racial slurs that made me extremely uncomfortable. Almost every other sentence contains the N-word. While that could very well be an accurate depiction of that lifestyle, it's something I'm not used to and it resulted in an experience that was both eye-opening and extremely awkward. For that reason, I played as him least of all. What's odd is that I didn't find the game's bland, sexualized portrayal of women to be nearly as offensive, despite the female roles in the game being regulated to prostitutes, strippers, and other mundane roles. Perhaps I wasn't as offended because tits and violence have been so much more prevalent in the industry. It's probably worthy of some more analysis in another article.
Grand Theft Auto V is a hell of a ride. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll be uncomfortable at parts. But in the end, you'll have a damn good time.

Ahmed's great-grandfather, Mirza Bashir Ahmed – son of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835-1908), believed by Ahmadis to be the Islamic messiah – travelled to Israel in the 1950s and established a community in Haifa.

SASKATOON — A new program at the University of Saskatchewan is introducing aspiring business leaders to the international stage and creating connections with entrepreneurs and universities in Israel and Jordan.
Launched in April, Entrepreneurship and Mining in Israel and Jordan – an International Tour gave 16 Edwards School of Business students insight into Israel's dynamic entrepreneurial sector and a first-hand look at the international success of Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (PotashCorp). The world's largest producer of fertilizer donated $50,000 toward the trip and sent its executive vice-president and chief financial officer Wayne R. Brownlee to join students in surveying the Middle East's potash industry – PotashCorp owns 14 per cent of Israel Chemicals Ltd. and 28 per cent of Arab Potash Company in Jordan, both major suppliers of fertilizer to Asia.
The 10-day tour held in May exposed students to the economic and cultural growth of the Jewish state and the importance of potash mining to Jordan's development.
After passing through security, the first-time visitors were anxious to begin the tour, but one student had other reasons for feeling nervous.
With the Islamic Republic of Pakistan's seal stamped on his Canadian passport, finance major Qamar Ahmed attracted the attention of Israel's border authorities, provoking a barrage of questions about family, friends and religion.
"After the officer asked me if I was Muslim, I told her I belonged to the Ahmadiyya Islamic Community and came to visit our Haifa mosque. Once I mentioned that, she began to relax," Ahmed recalled.
Ahmed's great-grandfather, Mirza Bashir Ahmed – son of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835-1908), believed by Ahmadis to be the Islamic messiah – travelled to Israel in the 1950s and established a community in Haifa.
"This experience at the Mahmood Mosque was unbelievable and humbling," Ahmed said, referring to the mosque built by the Israeli Ahmadi community in the 1970s.
Most Muslim countries regard Ahmadis as heretics and they are often persecuted for their beliefs.
"One of the local community members said Israel is the best place for practising Ahmadis," he said. "Even though the majority of the country is Jewish, people are allowed to be themselves."
Students also met with the Canadian ambassador to Jordan and the head of Arab Potash Company, and learned about the environmental situation of the Dead Sea from a senior lecturer at The Arava Institute for Environmental Studies. The most emotional experience for many of the participants was the visit to Yad Vashem.
A couple hours before Shabbat services at the Western Wall, participants discussed their impressions of the museum. One student, however, found it hard to speak.
"I was overcome with emotion," said management major Anna Burton.
About a year ago, Burton's grandfather found out his father was Jewish but had converted to Christianity in 1903.
"We went to learn about potash and entrepreneurship but returned with a lot of unexpected personal and cultural learning experiences," said Burton, who, along with several classmates, is thinking about a second trip to Israel.
"It's never a surprise to me when people find meaningful connections to Israel, whether because of religion, family background, etc.," said Dylan Hanley, director of Canadian Academics for Peace in the Middle East, which donated $20,000 and co-ordinated the trip.
Hanley is a non-Jewish academic who supports Israel and has led more than a dozen trips to Israel since 2007.
Despite the suspicious reception at Ben-Gurion airport, Ahmed's experience of the ancient and modern aspects of Israel – including test-driving an electric car at Better Place – changed his views about the country.
"Before I visited Israel, I had a negative opinion of it. But travelling really opens your eyes, and it's important to experience things first hand. Otherwise you're doing the country an injustice," Ahmed said.
Other sponsors of the tour included the Saskatchewan Ministry of Advanced Education, Employment and Immigration ($35,000), the University of Saskatchewan's President's Fund ($16,000) and The Hanlon Centre For International Business Studies ($8,000).
"No two people had the same response to the stimuli," said Daphne Taras, dean of Edwards School of Business. "It really affirmed that each individual who goes to Israel, finds different points of meaning, often in unpredictable ways."

1. Gretchen Weiners would have become obsessed with her perfectly curated Pinterest. And long for a girly DIY empire like Lauren Conrad's.
2. The Plastics would have been obsessed with Gossip Girl.
3. Regina George would have a Beyoncé lyric as her Twitter bio. Because naturally the Queen Bee feels a kinship with Queen Bey.
4. The Burn Book would be a private Facebook group. Until Regina made it public, rather than turning in the book to Principal Duvall.
5. Rather than regular after-school trips to the mall, the Plastics would have gone to an upscale blow-dry bar.
6. Janis Ian would have a very popular Tumblr with a big following (but not at their high school, naturally). Filled with alternative music and art, it would appeal to teen outcasts everywhere.
7. Damian would be obsessed with Glee. And tweet at Chris Colfer every day.
8. Kevin Gnapoor would be dealing Adderall to the entire Mathletes team. Actually, they should make that movie.
9. Regina's mom (Amy Poehler) wouldn't be in a Juicy Couture sweatsuit — she'd be in Lululemon.
10. Every fight in the movie would be conducted entirely via Facebook or Twitter. And instead of breaking up physical fights in the hallway, Mrs. Norbury and Principal Duvall would have to learn The Youngs' Interwebs in order to discover the student body's fighting.
11. Aaron Samuels would have Snapchatted dick pics to Regina and probably Cady.
12. The Plastics would communicate mostly via text. Rather than three-way calls.
13. "Fetch" totally would happen. See: "totes, obvs, natch."
14. The video of the Plastics' "Jingle Bell Rock" talent show performance immediately would have gone viral. A boom box hitting a dude in the face? Hot high school girls in Santa hats? Please, it would be on Tosh.0 YESTERDAY.
15. Instead of comparing their flaws in a mirror, the Plastics would post selfies to Instagram. And make passive-aggressive comments on each other's.
16. Instead of tricking Regina into eating Kalteen bars, Cady would have swapped Regina's green juice for a protein shake. The kind gym rat dudes use to bulk up.
17. Gretchen Weiner's dad would have invented Candy Crush. Not Toaster Strudel.
18. Instead of Abercrombie tanks and miniskirts, the Plastics would have worn skinny jeans and oversized sweaters. More Coachella, less Hello Kitty.
19. Karen would become a minor Internet celeb for her "weather ESP" breasts. And possibly end up vlogging wildly popular "haul" videos.
20. Instead of getting into sports, Regina George would grow up to be a contestant on The Bachelor. And very likely the bitchy blonde who starts drama among the other contestants. Competition is truly where she shines.

On the BBC show Top Gear, host Jeremy Clarkson showed off a car so damn tiny that it hurts to ride it. Or, well, it looks pretty painful at least. Called the P45, the car is more like a go kart than a real car, but it's cute in a ridiculous way.
The helmet serves as a roof and windshield, while the armour he wears while driving the car is the car's body, and it looks fun as hell… until you hit a pothole and get smacked in the tailbone. I want a future where everybody drives these mini cars! [YouTube via Slate]

Boeing Close To Fixing Dreamliner Battery: Source
Boeing Co (BA.N) has found a way to fix battery problems on its grounded 787 Dreamliner jets that involves increasing the space between the lithium ion battery cells, a source familiar with the U.S. company's plans told Reuters.
"The gaps between cells will be bigger. I think that's why there was overheating," said the source, who declined to be identified because the plans are private.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board declined comment on the report or any Boeing plan to return the 787s to the air.
"The decisions to return the airplane to flight will be made by the FAA and only after Boeing has demonstrated to them that the solution is adequate," Kelly Nantel said. "We continue to investigate the cause of the short circuiting."
A spokeswoman from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration declined to comment.
The 50 Dreamliners in commercial service were grounded worldwide last month after a series of battery-related incidents including a fire on board a parked plane in the United States and an in-flight problem on another jet in Japan. Until the Dreamliner is cleared to fly again, Boeing will be starved of delivery payments.
The logical solution for Boeing would be to install ceramic plates between each cell and add a vent to the battery box, Kiyoshi Kanamura, a professor at Tokyo Metropolitan University who has conducted research with several Japanese battery makers, told Reuters on Tuesday.
Earlier on Wednesday, the chairman of state-run Air India AIN.UL said Boeing is hopeful of getting the Dreamliner back in service by early April.
"They said that these planes should start flying again from early April. They can't be sure but they are hopeful," Rohit Nandan said.
Air India has six Dreamliners and has ordered 21 more. The question of the airline seeking compensation from Boeing for the jet's glitches would be taken up once the aircraft are flying again, Nandan said.
"Good progress is being made," a Boeing spokesman in Seattle said in response to questions about a possible flight restart in April.
"We have been in close communication with our customers since this issue arose. The details of our conversations with customers are confidential," he added.
On February 7, in its most recent official update on the Dreamliner, the NTSB said it had a "long road ahead" in its investigation of the lithium ion batteries.
Spokesmen for Japan's All Nippon Airways Co Ltd (ANA) (9202.T), which has the biggest fleet of Dreamliners, and Japan Airlines Co Ltd (JAL) (9201.T) said they were unaware of the suggested April schedule.
ANA and JAL have been most affected because they own around half of the lightweight, fuel-efficient jetliners in operation as a strategic move to win market share from their U.S. and European rivals.
Boeing shares rose in early trading on Wednesday, up 2.0 percent to $76.14 on the New York Stock Exchange.

It is important to note that effectively all PCAD business practices with the general public and property owners can be done remotely without having to visit our office. WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS. During this health alert time, PCAD would encourage the general public and property owners to work remotely with PCAD staff. This closing of our lobby and customer service counter will take effect Tuesday, March 17, 2020 and our doors will remain closed until further notice. We will take calls at our Support Service number, 817-596-0077, where your call will be directed to the proper staff.

Would you buy a car without knowing its features or gas mileage?
Then why do we purchase health insurance that way?
"Health insurance is one of the most expensive things we buy where you're essentially supposed to buy it without understanding what you've just purchased," says Lynn Quincy, senior policy analyst for Consumers Union, the publisher of Consumer Reports.
"It's unfair not to provide uniform, understandable information about a product that is this expensive and has enormous financial and health consequences for families," Quincy says.
Cutting through the gobbledygook
To date, health insurers have been free to present information about their policies any way they choose, making it difficult for consumers to decipher plan descriptions buried deep in industry jargon and legalese. This makes it nearly impossible to compare health plans.
"Some plans are 100 pages long and were really written by lawyers to protect the insurance company rather than to inform the consumer," says Tim Jost, health law scholar and professor of law at Washington and Lee University. "They're basically useless to consumers."
But a new phase of the health care reform law attempts to correct the confusion by requiring health insurance companies to make available a uniform "Summary of Benefits and Coverage," or SBC, a reader-friendly disclosure of their individual or group policy details written in everyday language.
Insurers will be required to provide SBCs to: new applicants; current customers, whenever coverage is renewed or changed; and anyone seeking the information on demand. It will be available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog and Navajo.
Like a 'yogurt label' for health plans
Jost and Quincy were two of many experts who helped design what some have termed the "nutrition facts" or "yogurt label" for health insurance. The design team, led by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, included the federal departments of Health and Human Services, Labor and Treasury, as well as health insurers, health care professionals, consumer and patient advocates, and linguists.
Their task: Create a short, easy-to-understand health benefits summary and an accompanying standard glossary of terms. The goal was to provide clear, consistent and comparable information that everyone can use to shop for health insurance.
The resulting glossary covers commonly used insurance lingo, from "allowed amount" (the maximum an insurer will pay for a covered health service) to "urgent care" (care that a reasonable person would seek right away, though not severe enough to require a trip to the emergency room).
The Summary of Benefits and Coverage, which can span no more than four double-sided pages, will contain most of the details every shopper wants to know about a health plan: its estimated deductibles; limit on your out-of-pocket costs; annual coverage limit; copayments; in-network versus out-of-network costs; and limitations and exceptions for routine office visits, ER visits, outpatient surgery, hospital stays, mental health/substance abuse counseling and prenatal/postnatal care.
Having all that information will give consumers "a new edge in deciding which plan will best suit their needs and those of their families or employees," says Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
Price info conspicuous by its absence
But one key detail is missing from the summary: the plan's price tag. Earlier versions prominently featured an estimated premium, but the cost information was later removed on concerns raised by insurers, who noted that health plan prices can vary widely due to factors such as family size.
The government's final rule establishing the SBC and glossary notes that individuals who are shopping for coverage and want premium information can find it on the federal Healthcare.gov website.
Consumers Union's Quincy says that even though a price estimate was not specifically mandated by health care reform, its absence will make shopping more difficult.
"The goal is to allow consumers to compare their health plans. You undermine that goal by having them go someplace else to get the premium part of their comparison," she says.
The summary includes coverage examples
One SBC innovation that appealed to consumer focus groups was its cost-of-coverage examples for three common medical situations: normal childbirth, managing Type 2 diabetes, and breast cancer. While the designers say they hope to eventually expand the number of case examples to six, they subsequently eliminated breast cancer from the initial three to keep things simpler.
Jost, of Washington and Lee, was disappointed by that decision. The breast cancer example had made test groups take notice because of its $98,000 price tag for treatment.
"In the consumer testing, most people had absolutely no idea how much a normal procedure costs. In fact, they asked people and their estimates were just wildly different," Jost says. "People were really surprised how much their insurance plan actually covers. That was kind of an 'aha!' moment."
As for the uniform glossary of terms, even though it's simplified it proved to be of limited appeal in focus groups. "Because the definitions often relied on other definitions, it just became cognitively very difficult for most consumers," Quincy admits.
A timely development
Jost says the SBC has been timed to precede the opening of state health exchanges and other big changes that are on the health insurance horizon thanks to health care reform.
"An awful lot is going to happen in 2014, and if consumers can at least have one tool that they can begin to understand and get used to before then, that's going to be a huge advantage," he says.
Although health insurance companies balked at the added expense of generating the Summary of Benefits and Coverage, Jost predicts they, too, will one day become fans of the "yogurt label."
"I think ultimately they're going to be really glad they have the SBCs," he says.

Useful but not worth paying for>>
Okay I'm not exactly new to all of this so I can't say I got much out of it unfortunately.. I was hoping for a few snippets.
There is a lot of info on here however it is all very simple and can be found for free at most places on the internet. Just look in google for SEO, PPC etc and it's all there.
This isn't really a DIY guide either, imo. It tells you things you can do but not how to actually do anything. If you were to follow the book to the letter then you'd likely do a lot of things but nothing overly well.
A lot of information though so a good starting point.

Probably ok for absolute beginners?
What disappointed you about Pimp My Site?
I didn't get anything from this book unfortunately. I already do a lot of blogging and social media activity so was looking to further my knowledge. I think perhaps this book would be ok for beginners looking to get started with Social Media etc?
One thing I found very annoying was that fact that the author continually plugged their new Social Media website. When a new paragraph or section started I knew it was leading to a plug, and it was.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Any additional comments?
The book would have been better if it lasted around 3-4 hours. Investing several hours in something basic for me was disappointing. I don't like to leave a book unfinished.

Great content, annoying tone.
If you are thinking about starting a website this book is great. In fact it has so many useful tips, website addresses and ideas for getting your website noticed and higher up on search engine results that after listening to it twice I also downloaded the ebook.
It came seem a little overwhelming, as there is so much in it and so much to do, but once you realise that it's about picking and choosing the ideas and advice that work for you, I have found this book invaluable. It is also written from a UK perspective, which makes it slightly more useful than some other titles in this genre if you are from the UK.
The reason I have not given it 5 stars relates to the 'tone' of writing and the way it is read. At times I found the patronising "gather round children and I'll tell you a story" style and the 'play school' voice adopted by the reader very irritating. It's clear that this is an attempt to make the content more accessible but in fact just becomes increasingly annoying. Once you get used to it, you realise that this book contains so much useful information and so many invaluable links and tips that you have to keep using the 'bookmark' function repeatedly!

Very good guide
Well presented, good pace and nice voice by narrated. The book covers many digital marketing aspects, key points and interesting comments, observations that everyone who works in the field should know. Also a good review in SEO, SEM, social media, blog and online marketing in general. I work in digital marketing for over 5 years and I recommend this book.

Excellent step by step guide
Firstly it's nice to have a British book on the subject.
Whether you are new to the subject or a more experienced website owner. You will find lots to keep you busy improving your website. There were so many ideas I had to take this book in chunks with a pen and paper by my side.
If you have a website and want to do business online or attract customers or clients this is the book for you, and it's up to date.
If you know nothing about this subject Paula Wynne will hold your hand and take you step-by-step through improving your site. Nice.

Must Read Questions & Answers Before Buying FZ 25
- Yes can opt own damage covering Insurance for one year but third party insurance is mandate for at least 3 years.
- Using FZ25..Its good for daily commute and trips( cruise speed approx 100).u can check gixer 250 too its better
- If your budget is 2lakhs than you have a lot of options like Yamaha FZ-25 Duke 200, 250, Bajaj Dominar, RE Thunderbird 350X and many more and Dont listen to what people say listen to what you want, If you choose Yamaha FZ25 you get a good bike in a very good price, the build quality is superb, suspension are very good, performance power is also very good looks are amazing, riding comfort on short ride as well as long rides its very good in every condition and a very good mileage of 35-40kmpl similarly Thunderbird 350X os also a very good choice. Take a test ride and decide which is good for you. Hope you make a better choice don't listen to anyone who says bad about any bike, no bike is bad every bike is good. A bike or a car is like a family member.
- If your budget is 2 lakh I suggest to go for a royal Enfield if you are a RE fan. Else you can go with fz25/dominor. Go for dominor you will love the ride
- Bro if not fz25 then go for dominar 400 but in my opinion fz25 is best bike under 2L for daily commute and occasionally touring
- Yes, it is more value for money than FZ 25 as it has much power & good BHP
- Fz25 has good cruising speed about 90kmph but mt15 has only 70 to 80kmph
- Yes
- Fz 250 best bike provide best feelable torque... So go ahead fr fz 25 ..shift of gear as much as flexible and ride quality of the bike is more stable and the brakes of yamaha are so belivable and now with more confident abs safety braking system
- I will say fz 25 is a wish choose, it has a comfortable cruiser alingment that help in long ride without back ache, good torque without any heating issue makes it a good companion in city daily rides...
- Go with Fz25 it beat for city riding as well as highway cruising
- Hello Remmy, if you are a highway rider i would suggest NS200 but you'll have to compromise with quality and the plus point will be the low price of NS200 it'll provide good power but i wouldn't recommend it for city ride as it has a 6speed gear box it'll face too many problems like heating and some problems with chainset... On the other hand i would recommend MT15 and Yamaha R15 or Duke200 but Duke is not as much comfortable... Otherwise if you want an all rounder competitor go for FZ25
- Go for FZ25 without any hesitation if you aren't a highway rider... This bike is best for city rides and it's best mileage provider(40kmpl).
- Thanks Rihaan. I have to ride on highway also . so in case of highway also what you would suggest?

strong bike with good styling, but old features
Good very good riding is well and comfort
Fz 250 is a nice bike.Good looking and performance is one of the best.All feature very good.Safe and secure.All over fz 250 is a best for ridersand this bike speed awesome.
I loved it, its big muscular chisel tank. FZ25 looks and designs are very aggressive on the street fighter. Milage is great as a 250cc bike. It is lightweight only 149 kgs with low seat height, Suitable for most average height and tall riders.
Agressive looks handling awesome good brakes mileage is not so good as compared to pulsar Ns 200 Overall confidence ride
This bike is a value for money. I have completed 3 trips with my fz25 (Spiti, Bhutan , Sikim Gurdongmar lake) also use it for daily commute (approx 80 km a day) abd I had never faced any problem with my bike. Handling is excellent, mileage is superb (42kmpl) low on maintenance. On the lower side headlights dull in pitch dark. Headlamp should be more powerful,
A good practical bike for the city and Highways too. At the end of the day most people like to cruise at speeds of 110-115 and this bike is just phenomenal at those speeds. Anyone who thinks of touring at speeds in excess of 130-140 needs to look elsewhere. A very underrated bike and with the addition of ABS its just a superb proposition.
I completed 25000km till now, i have very good feeling with the bike, gets ample mileage of 44 km/ltr (depends on ridind style), Performance of the bike is awesome, its not for the top end speeds, is best suited for power rides for your daily commutes/Tours.The cons i noticed are: Maintenance is not cheap, Styling is a level below awesome, Digital console isnt really satifying one(But it justifies with the price point),Headlamps illumination is pathetic."Overall its best entry level performance bike, Suggests to go for it"
It is a good bike but I have some complaint. There is a noise which comes out from backside and it is disturbing me a lot while riding this motorcycle and also the dual accelerator cable locker jumps the accelerator throttle. These 2 problems are facing after 1 year of purchased.
I loved it, its big muscular chisel tank. FZ25 looks and designs are very aggressive on the street fighter. Milage is great as a 250cc bike. It is lightweight only 149 kgs with low seat height, Suitable for most average height and tall riders.
