Currently supported transit agencies include:

• NYS Thruway Authority - alerts for all Thruway operated roadways
At a minimum: a username, master password and site domain are required to generate a site-specific password (this generates a different password for each website or service). Optional parameters include final password length, the inclusion of uppercase letters, the inclusion of symbols, the symbol characters to choose from, and the number of SHA-256 hashes used to create the final password.
The password generating algorithm uses two steps of cryptographic SHA-256 hashes:
1) The first step hashes the username and master password to create a user token, which is then cached locally. This step is designed to take a significant amount of time (a couple of minutes) to thwart any attempts of brute forcing your master password form a stolen site password.
2) The second step hashes the cached user token, master password and domain (this step takes a much shorter amount of time). The hash result is then formatted to meet the final password parameters.
For details about the password generating algorithm, different implementations of the algorithm (including a python script), and to view the source code: visit https://github.com/dwaring87/pswd

It was enjoyable, and playable. But there's not a whole lot more to defend your mod.
I personally dislike the ending, only because the "hero sacrificing himself" thing was done a million times now.
I would've given a 7/10 but I think 6/10 is high enough. At least it's better than the first one...
Jul 11th, 2012 0 people agree 0 people don't
Okay i will admit this had some pretty good level design. The new re textured half life guns were cool too. But besides these two pros the rest of the mod is cons. 6/10 IMO.

Add this pig tailed statement making Passion Fairy Red and Black Adult Womens Wig to any goth, witch, vampire, or evil demonness costume you'd like to complete a truly wicked look.
You won't be treated like a toy wearing this Black and Red Doll Wig! Playing games isn't in your character description when you pair these black and red frizzy pig tails with your choice of creepy or tattered doll dresses.
Choosing a costume isn't black and white, but if you're trying to go for an edgier look choosing a wig could be. This Black and White Doll Adult Wig provides a Gothic twist on a traditional costume.
Look as perfect as a doll with zero effort when you wear this Baby Doll Black Wig with Bangs. Dark ringlets look beautiful against porcelain skin. Add some white face powder and a little blush for an even better effect!
Schoolgirl Hair Bows are black with shiny apple dangling pendant hanging from the center. Pull your hair back into cute pig tails and twirl your locks. At least you'll get an A for flirtatiousness.

"Canadian Traveler" lazyman_1's Profile
Well, it's become apparant that i'm officially a travel junkie. I Just love to travel. I seem to be in a constant battle with both money and getting time of of work to allow me to get away. I always seem to have a trip on the horizon and up until the day I leave i'm here on VT doing research or reading about where i'm going.
I'm drawn to places that offer spectacular scenery, National Parks and the outdoors. I love hiking, being out on the water. I ususally don't spend much time in bigger cities opting instead to get away to the quieter, more scenic spots. I'm also always open to suggestions. I have a running list of places on my "To Go To" list but am always open to new suggestions.
I'm pretty much an open book, if theres something that you'd like to know about me or any of the places i've been to, i'd be happy to chat and answer questions. Also, if you just want to say hi then thats fine too. I love hearing from people across the globe so drop me a line sometime.
Until then ,
Happy travels
This is Ester, Esti for short. My girlfriend of 3+ years now, you'll see her smiling face peppered across my pages. For the most part my travels are her travels so you could consider these pages hers as well. Most of the photograpy is done by her, with the obvious exceptions of shots with her in them.
If not for her I wouldn't have much to share here on VT. It's nice to have somebody so cool along for the ride!
I look forward to many more great trips!
Its a done deal!! married on September the 15th and enjoyed thouroughly our 2 week honeymoon in Ireland.
This season was a tremendous surprise for most Bruins fans. Making the playoffs was not a very reasonable goal at the outset of the season as many of the so-called "experts" had the team finishing in the bottom 5 of the entire league.
with star forward Patrice Bergeron's season ending injury only 10 games into the season, things looked rather bleak, but that turn for the worst never occured. This is a team that scratched and clawed its way through most every game and when the dust finally settled, they had managed to find their way into the post season.
They Bruins success this season can be attributed to many different factors. The all star calibre play of goalie Tim Thomas, the re-emergence of Zdeno Chara after an off year, Marc Savard's continued point production and the play of young Bruins talent such as Davis Krecji, Vladimir Sobotka, Peteri Nokaleinan and my personal favorite Milan Lucic. The true catalyst of the Bruins resurgence however can be traced back to head coach Claude Julien who instilled a defence first system to address the B's most troublesome aspect of past seasons.
The Bruins drew the Montreal Canadiens in round 1, a team that were unsuccessful in beaten during 8 regular season games. The Bruins took the Habs to a 7th and deciding game but lost out in the end. What they did do however was show the league how to nullify the leagues most potent power play , the key ingredient to Montreals regular season success. Montreal went on to lose decisively in 5 games in round two
This off season should be especially interesting for the Bruins as speculation is swirling around what is in store. players such as Glen Murray and Peter Schaeffer are rumoured to be departing one way or another and high profile free agent Marian Hossa is a much talked about possibility to be signed.
The next month and a half should be very interesting in the hockey world as we will see a Stanley Cup champion crowned, the NHL entry draft will take place this June 20th and 21st, a time that traditionally sees many trades come to fruition, followed shortly thereafter by July 1st when free agency opens.
All in all a great, fun-filled season in beantown and a promising 2008-09 season to look forward to.
One of my problems with traveling is that I have so many places I want to visit, that deciding where to go next becomes a challenge, so here's where you come in. I'm always open to suggestions and frankly, I could use the help so don't hesitate to throw your two cents in on where I should go next
The current plan: Another jaunt in Vegas this July!
The contenders:
New Zealand, Sweden, Argentina, Thailand, Greece, South Korea, Costa Rica, Norway, Romania, Indonesia, Kenya, Madeira, Faroe Islands, China, Finland, Venezuela, Jordan, Croatia, France, Bhutan, Ethiopia, Jasper Naiotnal Park, Germany, Egypt, Alaska, Namibia, Japan, Yosemite National Park, Italy, Gros Morne national Park.
This isnt so much of a regrets list but more of a still to do list. this is a running list of places which i didn't get the opportunity to visit on my initial trip to that respective country/ Most every country I visit, invariably I don't get to see or do things which I had planned on or learned about while visiting. Here goes!
Ireland: Skellig Micheal, Dublin, Kilarney Lakes, Ring of Kerry
Iceland: glacial lagoon, landmannalauger, akureyri
Austria: Vienna
Slovenia: Triglav National Park
Switzerland: The matterhorn
Peru: lake Titikaka, Arequipa, Vilcabamba
This photo was taken in Zion national park in Utah from atop Angels Landing. The hike took about 2.5 hours to reach this point but at the end of it all it was so very worth it!
Without a doubt one of the most awe inspiring sights i've ever laid eyes on and the most rewarding hike i'd ever done. I spent about a half hour on the top just soaking up the scenery.
Early settlers to the canyon thought that they'd discovered heaven on Earth. Can't really argue with that.
I was very happy to get to meet Ian Wright in Toronto. He's the host of Pilot guides (or loney planet or globetrekker depending where you live). He was a very very funny guy, full of crazy travel stories. In my opinion, he probably has the greatest job in the world.
Great guy, much shorter than I thought!
This is my corny little list of things that I want accomplish in my lifetime. it may grow over time but thats ok. Its good to have goals anyways I'd say
anyways, here goes:
-Visit each continent at least once
North America: ****Check****
South America:****Check****
Europe: ****Check****
-Run in a marathon
-Learn to juggle
-Meet Sarah Michelle Gellar, buffy to those who don't know. (I got a thing for her :)

4)Christ Redeemer- Brazil
5)Colosseum- Italy
6)Great Wall- China
7)Machu Picchu- Peru****Check****

I agree with you. That's why I don't watch the news. They don't care if they ruin the reputation of a place, as long as it gets them good ratings. The news should be the last source anyone uses. I always get my safety information from other sources.
I hope you have a safe and healthy New Year. Happy travels! Cheers - Sage
Hi, I took so much informations in your Las Vegas page. Thank you :-)
Happy Birthday, Adam! I hope you're doing well! :-)
Happy Birthday from sunny California!
Happy happy birthday to you!!
Happy Birthday! How was trip trip out west? Mike in Iowa.
I love your opening picture = Edinburgh = what a great city!!
Pssst any questions about Banff let me know. If you have a chance I love hiking up to Larch Valley, or any of the hikes up there at Valley of the Ten Peaks. Where are you staying in Banff, and if you want to spend some cash, the Grizzly House is a hoot!
How did you meet Ian??? I love Ian...and Samantha Brown. I always have the travel channel on, lol. It is called Globetrekker where I am from (I didn't know it was called other things in other places!) PS...Congrats on the engagement!

The health care situation in the United States is a mess. It's hard to disagree with that, but it's easy to disagree about how we can fix it. I think that technology is a big part of the answer. I don't mean medical technology (though that will certainly help)–I'm talking about administrative technology. I know it's not nearly as exciting, but if doctors can run their practices more efficiently, they'll be able to deliver better care at a lower costs. That's a big deal. Drchrono is a Mountain View, CA based company that is using the power of the iPad to change how medical practices are run. They've developed a software-based patient care platform that does everything from patient check-in to managing electronic health records to billing. It may not sound like it's going to turn around the health care situation, but it's a start.
While I have to guess that most people use their iPads for Angry Birds and not much else, it's really cool to see how this device is enabling industry changing software to be built. The problem used to be finding a way to deliver the software. Apple solved it. Now it's just about making the software work in the context of how most medical practices operate. That's exactly what Drchrono is doing. You can read about the platform here, and you read about its benefits here. Another key to Drchrono's success is that it helps physicians qualify for the HITECH Act, which offers "$44,000 or more in economic stimulus incentives for adopting a Certified EHR." That's a big incentive. If you're excited about what Drchrono is doing, then take a look at their Jobs page. Right now they have quite a few opportunities posted including:

I've got a thing for reptiles and so when I saw one of Mick Peel's latest saddles, I had to share. This WTB Silverado is going on a ti mountain frame. See more at Busyman's blog.
Melbourne's own Mick Peel and his saddle restoration / bar tape company Busyman Bicycles makes saddles for some of the world's top frame builders. Take one of his latest creations as example. This Specialized Romin saddle and matching tape were designed to finish off a House Industries Richard Sachs frame. Which one? I have no idea but it's going to look so good.
Holler at Mick for some custom work of your own.
Mick Peel at Busyman really did an incredible job on this Fizik Vesta saddle and accessories. This bird is flying to Portland to make its way on a Cielo. Hopefully we'll see photos of the complete bike!
Check out more at Busyman Bicycles.
I gotta say, the newest from Busyman has me thinking… A Jackal saddle would be rad! Mick Peel does it again.
Busyman is so busy, man that he's just now getting around to posting projects he finished months back. This Kurve saddle and matching bar tape is now in Seoul, Korea. See more at Busyman.
Mick does it again! Check out more at Busyman's blog.
This is amazing. Technically, it's not meant for sitting. This wallaby hair saddle is going on one of Mick's client's dirt jumpers. Check out more photos at Busyman!
Mick Peel's work is to bicycles as a nice pair of wingtip boots are to a gentlemen's wardrobe. Simply add a kit like this to your bike for instant class. Busyman Bicycles has been killing it lately!

Why such big bikes on gravel/ dirt routes?
View Single Post
Joined: May 2012
Location: Leavenworth, WA- in the mountains!
Oddometer: 341
Great discussion THANKS!
Great discussion THANKS! I am trying to decide what I want to do.
I will do the CDR either on the 230L after hauling it to the start, or do the CDR the same with a new WR250R with a big tank. On the 230L I cary a 1.5 gal Kolpin on the front rack
and get over 250 miles range with that and the 2.3 gal stock tank- 73 MPG avg on the WABDR.I stopped at a dealer, they were looking at my loaded 230L, I mentioned I liked the WR250R, the handed me the key and said to try it. The WRR also felt small and easy to me on street and ripping around a dirt lot. In other words, WRR is pretty easy ride also, but it is nearly 30 lbs heavier than my little dog 230L. Way more fun to twist the throttle, however, on the WR250R!
To clarify:
The rig in the photo I have ridden singletrack and camped. With that load I went down a trail and decided to not take the next downhill- so I turned that little loaded bike easily on an 18 inch singletrack on am mountain sidehill; easy, no unloading, first try, no sweat. So I balance that kind of ease with the 'dog' performance on highway. As well, where I see so many photos of folks on larger bikes, even DR400s and up, struggle just on rutted rough roads, and I saw some of that myself. And I just fly with ease with that little (dog) 230L. I have put 6K on that rig loaded and unlaoded since May, on gnarly rocky mountin trails, gravel roads, crossed the state a few times from mountains to beach and back..
And, yeah, as I said, before the term was invented I was an adventure rider on gravel AK Hwy on my '75 GT750. I also had an open class Husky and Yamaha. But the 230L has advantages- gas mileage, small good-handling frame low weight, tractable power- limited wheel spin and fishtailing, just a smoothe ride- it gets the job done
Thanks again, I like reading the comments, good discussion!

NSS Labs, a trusted advisor to the information security community, released today two new Web Browser Security Reports:
They've been testing intensively the latest browsers (Apple Safari 4, Google Chrome 2, Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, Mozilla Firefox 3* and Opera 10 Beta)** to compare their security models and APIs.
Note that Internet Explorer 8 relies on the new SmartScreen® Filter technology, while Firefox, Safari and Chrome on the same SafeBrowsing API (developed by Google).
Let's have a look at the result of their tests.
A Malware is software which is deceptive about functionality and is a security risk or a privacy risk. The term malicious software or malware refers to programs that demonstrate illegal, viral, fraudulent, or malicious behavior. For example, viruses, worms, and Trojan horses are malicious software.
The use of reputation systems to assist browsers in the fight against socially engineered malware is a strong use of cloud technologies. But, not all vendor implementations and daily operations yield the same results.
Although Firefox, Safari and Chrome are using the same security API, the results are different. From the report:
"The SafeBrowsing products' protection rates were showing signs of converging just under 25%. This supports the notion that there are operational differences between the implementations of the API, but that the block lists are the same (or very similar)"
"The SafeBrowsing products' protection rates were showing signs of converging just under 25%. This supports the notion that there are operational differences between the implementations of the API, but that the block lists are the same (or very similar)"
Online phishing is a method of identity theft that tricks you into revealing personal or financial information online. Phishers use phony websites or deceptive email messages that mimic trusted businesses and brands in order to steal personally identifiable information such as usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, and Social Security numbers.
Since phishing sites have an average lifespan of only 52 hours it is essential that the site is discovered, validated, classified, and added to the reputation system as quickly as possible. A good reputation system must be both accurate and fast in order to realize high catch rates.
From the report:
"We expected better results given the fanfare about Google's SafeBrowsing initiative. Additionally, a third-party (Firefox) was able to utilize Google's API to achieve significantly better protection that Google's own browser."
"We expected better results given the fanfare about Google's SafeBrowsing initiative. Additionally, a third-party (Firefox) was able to utilize Google's API to achieve significantly better protection that Google's own browser."
Internet Explorer 8 introduce a new technology called SmartScreen® Filter, an evolution of the previous Phishing Filter in IE8, to help protect IE8 users against the major security threats on the web today.
Eric Lawrence, Security Lead in the IE Team, has written many blog post where he introduce the feature and describe how it works. A FAQ about the Filter is available here.
If you want to know more about security in IE8, check out this video on Channel9.
For the sake of this post, based so far only on numbers, I'd like to show in action how IE8 identify and display an unsafe site to the end-user. We will use a test web site marked from the SmartScreen Filter as unsafe***.
If you browse to the site with IE8, the browser will start download the content of the page but shortly it will understand that the site is not safe and switch to a different view: a red warning alert will be offered to the end user.
The experience on other browsers, including Firefox and Chrome, would be completely different – since they don't detect the site as unsafe…creating a big security threat for the end-user.
NSS Labs is not The Word; it is one of the (many) trusted voices on the web, with a deep expertise in this field. You might not trust their results (btw, have a look at the Appendix of their reports to understand the architecture/methodology they have in place…).
It's interesting however what they call "an easy apple-to-apple comparison": they run those tests back in February and they are now comparing the trend over time for each browser. I'm surprised (and pleased :)) to see that IE is the only browser with a positive trend == it's getting better over time. All of the other browsers decreased protection, between 3 and 8% - within the margin in the error.
Does all this mean that IE8 is 100% secure? Absolutely not, but I feel secure now… :-D
* I wished they tested with Firefox 3.5. From the report, "Firefox 3.5 was not stable enough to be tested during the course of this test. A patch has subsequently become available to address the stability issue. We were able to manually verify that the protection was identical between versions 3.0.11 and 3.5".
** They used the "vanilla versions" (as downloaded from site and updated). No antivirus, no add-on installed, no security group policy, no special settings…. Just the browser, as it is.
*** This site has been designed for demonstration purposes only. The test performed from the NSS Labs used a list of 12000 real suspicious sites.
Nice Post! Ahah, it's funny. On Ars Technica:
Rick Moy, president of NSS Labs: "This stuff is expensive to do right, and we need to monetize it somehow," Moy told Ars. "We invited Google, Mozilla, Apple, Opera to participate, but they didn't even bother to respond, except for Opera, which stated they "don't really focus on malware."
Source: http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2009/08/microsoft-sponsors-two-nss-reports-ie8-is-the-most-secure.ars
I like very much the writings and pictures and explanations in your adress so I look forward to see your next writings.
Seriously? This is a bunch of sh*t. You took a TEST WEBSITE, that IE had marked as a test website, correct? Well guess what! No duh nothing else is gonna recognize it! ITS A TEST WEBSITE!!! But w/e... The people still using IE don't know better or are fan boys anyway...
To Wow.
If you read the reports attached (or any other security guide on the web), you will learn that those kind of malicious websites born and die within the span of a few minutes/hours/days. For the purpose of demonstration of the new user experience that IE offers to their users I'm using a test website here.
If you have a better idea to test IE (or any other browser) with a site reported as malicious, I'd be happy to take your feedback.
All the rest is just *your* opinion... ;)
I think "Wow" was trying to point out that the way you used a test website that you knew would give results favouring IE8 is misleading, as some may assume that this is what would happen in all websites. Note: I am not accusing you of telling them that. However, both this fact and that you put three clauses at the bottom of the page (which most would not read) seems a deliberate attempt to emphasize IE8's security. But hey, you are working for them, what else can one expect?
I would also like to point out the general fallacy of the whole article. It does not speak of the overall security of your software. It deals with "socially engineered malware" and phishing, which is doublespeak for tricking the user. In other words, this speaks of the security of the users brain and the features the browser uses to make up for this deficit.
A better test of security would be to test for the ease at which a third party website can trick the _software_. After a bit of searching I found these: http://www.permuted.org.uk/browsercompare.html, http://bcheck.scanit.be/bcheck/stats.php, http://www.ghacks.net/2008/12/14/web-browser-benchmark-comparison/ and http://www.webdevout.net/browser-security
They indicate that currently, and historically, Internet Explorer has a record of low security (based on security holes versus security holes plugged).
Infact, in the respect to the Acid tests, Microsoft admitted that it wasn't their goal to improve their scoring (20/100, compared to 100 for Opera 10 and 93 for Firefox 3.5.2). For anyone who doesn't know, the Acid tests are designed to strenuously test standards compliant behaviour. These can pose a security risk to web sites, in fact, even websites not intending to do harm could suffer problems due to Internet Explorers continued stance of ignoring W3C standards.
I just tried your precious IE8, and my anti-virus stopped something happening.
I tried the same site on Firefox 3.5 and the browser got in and stopped it before theAnti-Virus.
Your test... invalidated!
Internet Explorer is STILL NOT SECURE!
I do not find your ideas intriguing and would not like to subscribe to your newsletter.
TheMG: I agree with your points, and I appreicate your contructive feedback. a) I work for MS b) I do like other browsers (and I think that there are great features out there), but I still prefer IE as for my daily browsing :) Also, I don't pretend to be a security expert; the purpose of this post was to highlight the result carried by an external company whose experise is on malware and phishing. As I written, I'm sure we can see at the security topic from many point of views...and each one will be true and untrue at the same time. And there will never (maybe?) be a 100% secure browser (as - btw - any software I application, imho). At least we can try to get better...
With regards to patches etc, I honestly don't know the exact numbers of when/how quickly we patch compared to other browsers. I could call two recent examples. FF 3.5 critical security bug(http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=3749)...remained unfixed for weeks (I'm not sure about the current status...); last IE issue took 7 days to investigate/fix/deploy hotfix to all IE users through WU (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/972890.mspx). And I'm SURE that there are many other cases where we've been slower to respond/fix than FF. It's a sane competition...and I like competition/challanges :)
Acid 3? That's another story, maybe worth a separate post :)
@You: I really don't want to sell IE here. I'm just showing the tests made by an external "neutral" company. If there is a website where you think IE security model is not sufficient, please send me the link...I'd be intersted to have a look and understand more. This is the kind of feedbacks that I always appreciate :)
I never thought I'd say this...but I actually love Internet Explorer (version 8 that is).
In installed the Quero toolbar to block ads and its so much smoother and faster.
A very useful and informative post. I am definately subscribing to your feed.
Thanks for sharing the useful information with me!
TheMG. Acid 3 is a set of conformance tests, and not security-based, so I don't see the relevance of that argument. See the Acid 3 home page for a balanced appraisal of their own test and a partial defense of IE8's score. As well as the excellent work the IE team did around secure browing, they also appear to have one of the most CSS 2.1 complaint browsers available. Several of the Acid 3 tests check for conformance to features that are expected to be included in the next version of CSS, and which are not current standards.
I think the problem here is that many people just feel that their world will fall apart if Microsoft addresses things like security, performance and standards compliance in IE. It is somehow important to their self-identity to be able to accuse Microsoft of all kinds of bad behaviour from now to eternity. Very childish behaviour.
Really informative post. But i think Mozilla is getting better with time. I always prefer Mozilla over IE
Yeah.. I also prefer Mozilla over IE because its easy and you can search loads of add-on. And as per recent news Mozilla has released the latest iteration of its flagship Firefox browser with a few significant security goodies to keep malicious hacker at bay.

A Milwaukee driver who struck and killed a woman as she ran across Farwell Ave. last month pleaded no contest Wednesday to a felony charge in the case.
Edwood Hastings, 48, was then found guilty of hit and run causing death. Sentencing was set for Nov. 26. Hastings, who has a prior conviction for hit and run, faces up to 25 years in prison.
Andrea Barringer, 32, was leaving Comet Cafe around 8:30 p.m. Aug. 11 with friends when she ran across Farwell Ave. at Irving Place, thinking she could beat traffic, according to the medical examiner's report.
Witnesses said Hastings was speeding.
Police found Hastings' car at his home on N. Prospect Ave. on the next morning about the same time Hastings had turned himself in.
He told police he had just bought groceries at Pick 'n Save and was driving down Farwell Ave. when three people came out between cars.
Barringer was an art therapy graduate student at Mount Mary College and had gotten engaged to be married two days before her death.

Simple Strategies You Can Use To Get Type 1 Diabetic Life Insurance
Diabetics sometimes have a hard time obtaining a good life insurance policy. This is because insurance companies tend to be wary about insuring individuals that don't have the best odds of surviving. This is also true for individuals who smoke or anyone else who has a condition that might lead to an earlier than expected death. All insurance companies hope you won't end up using their services so that they can make more money every year. That is why a diabetic is often considered to be a risky investment. However, not every life insurance company takes this view. There are a few methods you can use to help locate insurance companies that are willing to offer a type 1 diabetic life insurance policy to you.
Understanding Diabetes and Diabetics
Diabetics are people who can't produce any insulin or not enough of it due to a medical condition. The body organ that produces insulin is the pancreas. It could have gotten damaged somehow to cause it not to be able to produce the necessary insulin for absorbing and processing glucose inside the bloodstream. This results in people with type 1 diabetes having to take insulin shots for the rest of their lives. It could potentially lead to a fatal situation. This is why diabetics are riskier than individuals who don't have this medical problem.
How To Find Type 1 Diabetic Life Insurance Companies
The easiest and most convenient way to locate one of these insurance companies is to do Internet searches. These companies check into your condition. They then make an assessment so that they can determine whether they should offer you a life insurance policy or not. They might be able to make a determination right away about whether or not they want to grant a life insurance policy to you. It depends on what your current state of health is as well as your health history. By locating several companies that offer this as an option, you should be able to obtain a policy right away. If you use this strategy, it shouldn't be hard for you to quickly identify a company that specializes life insurance for type 1 diabetics willing to grant your a life insurance policy.
Should I Consider Buying a Final Expense Policy?
Death is never a pleasant thing, especially for those who must deal with the aftermath. And anyone who believes that death marks the end of expenses has never had to be present when the costs of a funeral and burial are tallied up. A casket alone can cost up to $ 25,000 and more, and that doesn't include the myriad of other expenses, from flowers to chapel rental and from printing to a burial plot and memorial stone. How do the survivors deal with such high costs, especially in their time of deepest grief? The answer, at least for many, is final expenses insurance, which is a life insurance policy that pays a specific amount to a beneficiary so that he or she can cover the cost of a funeral and burial.
Whether a person's death comes unexpectedly or after a prolonged illness, for their survivors to have to come up with the money to cover the sudden and high costs of a funeral can be crippling. Fortunately, whether a death is on the horizon or not, the costs of a burial don't have to cost a family the price of what they would have like to have had simply because they didn't have the money.
What Type of Coverage is Final Expenses Coverage?
Final expense coverage can be purchased as either a term or whole life insurance policy. In either instance, as soon as there is a need, a surviving beneficiary can make a claim and be provided with the money they need to cover funeral costs. Even better, a final expenses policy can be purchased by answering just a few general health questions. There is usually no physical examination required to receive the coverage.
Even those who are in the throes of a serious medical issue can purchase what is called "graded death benefit," which means that the coverage amount increases over time. If the covered person dies within the first few years of coverage of this type of policy, their beneficiary would not be paid the full face value of the policy.
Who Should Have Final Expense Coverage?
Most financial advisers recommend that those who have large encumbrances such as a mortgage or education expenses carry a final expenses policy since it will pay over and above whatever the survivors are given by their other policies. This guarantees a specific amount that is available to cover funeral and burial costs, leaving other monies to cover living expenses.
Introduction To Life Insurance
Life insurance is often a confusing subject, especially for individuals who are new to purchasing a policy. It does cost money, and it does mean adding an additional expense, but buying a policy is one of the soundest financial choices you can make. Here is an introduction to the two most common types of policies.
One kind of life insurance policy you will find when shopping is called a term life insurance policy. Term life insurance is often the most affordable type of policy you can purchase. The price varies based upon the amount of coverage you decide to buy as well as your age in most cases.
A term policy is ideal for young families who want to have their surviving family members protected in the event of the main breadwinner's death. These policies cover funeral costs, final expenses and regular monthly bills. They last for a set period, or term, of ten, 20 or even 30 years. These policies do not leave the policyholder with any cash once the term expires. They do provide for the greatest amount of coverage for the smallest premiums. For this reason term life insurance is a favorite for people looking for over 50 life insurance and for high risk categories.
The other type of life insurance is called whole life insurance. Whole life insurance policies cover individuals the same way as term policies do. These policies also have maturity dates, but unlike term policies, whole life policies offer cash value. One of the disadvantages of a whole life policy is that they are costlier than term life policies and they offer lower coverage amounts.
When selecting life insurance for the first time or when looking to renew a policy, talk with a qualified insurance agent. They can help you determine exactly what kinds of policies are best for your needs. They can also help you find policies that offer the best coverage at the lowest rates, whether you are applying for a policy for the first time or are renewing an existing policy.
Hepatits C and Life Insurance Advice
People who have Hepatitis C definitely don't have it easy. Between all the doctors visits and medications, it is hard for people who don't have Hepatitis C to understand what people who do really go through. One of the biggest problems for people with Hepatitis C, especially as they get older, is they find it to be extremely difficult to obtain life insurance – something that everyone should have in their adult life in the case of something tragic or unexpected. Fortunately though, life insurance with Hepatitis C is definitely possible, it is just a matter of looking in the right places.
Another misconception for people with Hepatitis C, is that life insurance with Hep C is automatically going to be prohibitively expensive. While it is certainly possible for rates to skyrocket, they don't have to if you go about things in the right way. One of the things that is imperative, is that you are working with a life insurance company that has experience dealing with people who have Hepatitis C, and understand the realistic risks and how to assess them.
Most insurance companies will need to assess your situation, and they will be looking for two things in particular. The first is how much damage your liver has sustained as a result of you having Hepatitis C and the second is whether or not your Hepatitis C is in remission.
You should be able to pretty easily figure out what will give you the lower rates and what will cause you to receive higher rates. Obviously, someone who is in remission and has not sustained too much in the way of liver damage will be able to get much more favorable rates compared to people who are not in remission and have considerable liver damage.
If you are only showing minor systems or have only sustained minor damage, then you will be seen only as a substandard risk. That might sound bad, but don't worry, because you are certainly still insurable. In situations like this, your best bet is to bring along a liver biopsy that has been done within the past five years. If you have one that is more recent than that, it will make even more difference to the insurance company. While a liver biopsy is by no means required, it does go a long way to helping you convince your insurance company that you are insurable.
Confused by Whole Life Insurance? You Are Not Alone
Whole life insurance is one of the most misunderstood financial life insurance products available on the market today. If you are in the process of shopping for life insurance, it is important to understand the major differences between whole life and term life insurance. While each carries the same death benefit, there are advantages and disadvantages to each product. Read on so that you can finally end your confusion and gain an understanding of whole life insurance.
Examining the Facts Surrounding Whole Life Insurance
Whole life insurance is a permanent plan. This means that the policy premiums will remain level for the life of the policy and that the policy will not expire within a specified period of time. You can get free whole life insurance quotes and see that the premiums are initially higher than term life insurance plans, but part of the reason is this type of contract has an investment component built into it. As you pay your premiums, a portion will be applied to the premiums and the other portion will begin to earn cash values. The values that you earn can later be used as dividends to pay your premiums, or cad be withdrawn or borrowed from the policy.
Like a term life policy, the death benefits of whole life contracts remain level over time. If you pass away, your beneficiary will receive the death benefit along with any cash values that have not been borrowed or withdrawn from the contract. If the policy earns dividends, which are not guaranteed, they can be used to pay premiums or disbursed in the form of a check annually.
Another feature of the whole life policy that you will need to consider when purchasing is that dividends can be used to reduce your premiums over time. By requesting that your dividends be converted into a payment of your premiums, you can keep your premiums lower as you age. This is a features that you cannot use to your benefit with a term life plan.
The Pros and Cons of Whole Life
Whole life is not for everyone. Opponents of whole life insurance believe that life insurance should not involve an investment components, and proponents believe that the investment component is beneficial to policyholders because of the guaranteed interest rates earned on cash values. Proponents also believe that it is in the benefit of the insured to purchase a contract that will not expire at a stated age.
Whole life insurance is a complex contract that many do not fully understand. Before you rule this type of insurance out, take the time to compare premiums, riders, and policy features. By doing this, you can build the best insurance portfolio to protect and provide for your family.
Can Smokers Qualify for Life Insurance?
The cheapest form of life insurance for any smoker is term life insurance, where the customer pays a set monthly rate in exchange for coverage. Whole life insurance is also available for smokers, but it can cost considerably more than term insurance and may have stricter guidelines for acceptance. The key to smokers finding the best life insurance is working with a company that will look not only at the smoking habits, but other lifestyle habits as well. Many smokers exercise regularly and have many other healthy habits, so finding a company that will take that into consideration can have quite an impact on premium costs. By using an independent agent who works with a variety of companies, smokers should be able to find a company that will work with them while offering competitive rates and help secure a family's future.

Kassites / Cossaeans
Kassites (Akkadian Kaššu): tribal federation living in the Zagros mountains, in modern Luristan. In the seventeenth century BCE, they threatened Babylonia, which they captured in the fifteenth century. More than a millennium later, they are mentioned - now called Cossaeans - as enemies of Alexander the Great.
In the seventeenth century BCE, the Kassites started to infiltrate Mesopotamia, which was ruled by the successors of the famous king Hammurabi of Babylon (1792-1750?). After the capital of Babylonia had been sacked by the Hittite king Mursilis I in 1595 (?), infiltration became conquest, and many Kassites settled on the alluvial plains of the Euphrates and Tigris. Once they had become "babylonized" and had learned how to organize an army, they took Babylon. The Kassite dynasty dominated southern Mesopotamia until the twelfth century.
The Kassites also influenced northern Mesopotamia, where the Assyrian variant of the Akkadian language contains many remains of the Kassite dialect.
This would have been everything, but the Kassites, which seem to have been semi-autonomous in the Achaemenid Empire, unexpectedly return in our sources in the first weeks of the year 323, when the Macedonian king Alexander sets out from Ecbatana to Babylon, and on his way encounters, defeats, and destroys the Cossaeans. The campaign was extremely bloody, and Alexander's contemporaries thought that their king was venting his emotions because his lover Hephaestion had died.
The Cossaeans were not exterminated. Cossaeans soldiers served in the Macedonian army, and in 317 BCE, the Macedonian commander Antigonus Monophthalmus still encountered people in this area. However, it is significant that they are called cavemen, and no longer nomadic pastoralists.
