All Health Insurance Agencies Would Have You Believe

Insurance


Below is what all health insurance agencies would have you believe. They’re glorified middle-men of the health insurance industry, and if what they all said was true, then the ditty below would ring true.


It doesn’t.


Health insurance premiums are filed with, and regulated by your State’s Department of Insurance. Whether you buy from a local health insurance agency, or directly from the health insurance company, you'll pay the same monthly premium for the same plan.


This means that you get the advantages and convenience of purchasing your health insurance plan through pretty well any health insurance company and know that you're getting the best available deal.


By combining the knowledge of a neighborhood agent with the broad experience and comprehensive understanding of a leading online health insurance source, most health insurance companies are able to offer their customers the following benefits.


Best Prices. Health insurance rates are filed with and regulated by your state's Department of Insurance. Whether you buy from your local agent, or directly from the health insurance company, you'll pay the same monthly premium for the same plan.


Large Selection. Because most health insurance agencies offer plans from multiple insurance companies in your area, they can offer a broad selection of health insurance companies and plans, which allows you find the plan that best fits your needs. In fact, most health insurance companies can provide a quality online source of health insurance for individuals, families and small businesses.


Excellent Customer Care. The licensed health insurance agents and experienced representatives that staff most customer care centers will help you make the most of your money with professional, unbiased advice.


Fast Processing. Most health insurance companies offer the fastest way to apply for health insurance because many of the plans offered on their web sites can be submitted and signed electronically, eliminating the need to manually print and mail applications. This reduces average processing time significantly.

Review Hosting With Host Gator

I’ve been using Host Gator (and moving old Startlogic and Website Source sites to them too) for all my hosting services.


Why:


1) Host Gator servers are faster.


2) Host Gator customer service is better.


3) Host Gator cron jobs are easier to setup.


4) Host Gator will let me run ANY kind of site I want. (do you understand).


5) Host Gator mysql databases are running smoother.


The list is getting larger too. Logging in is way faster too. Some of these hosting companies sites load like tractors!


I use Host Gator’s unlimited services, to save money multiple sites.

Love "The Secret"

Although the secret just scratches the tip of the ice-burg, as far as quantam physics is concerned, it brings people that much closer to seeing the doors of perception. 


I’ve watched it many times over, and it should be watched many times over to that you can let the concept sink in. “This stuff works!”


Here is a little story from the Secret Web Site:


Near the end of 2004, Mrs. Byrne was turned on to the secret - the secret unwritten laws and guidelines of the universe. Almost immediately her entire life was transformed, as she started to put into daily practice what she had discovered. It seemed to Rhonda that almost no-one knew the things that she had discovered, even though the concepts could be found in almost every religion and field of human endeavour throughout history. And in that moment her greatest wish, and mission, was to share this knowledge with the world.
 
Rhonda began to see that her entire life - everything she had ever done - had been silently and consistently gravitating her toward the ideal place. She had to make her dreams come true, and to live it large. She had gone from working as a producer at the Nine Network in Melbourne, Australia, to starting her own television production company, Prime Time Productions, in 1994. And after ten years of creating internationally successful shows such as 'The World's Greatest Commercials', 'Great Escapes', 'Marry Me', and 'Sensing Murder', Rhonda was ready for something new.


She wanted to take Prime Time Productions in a different direction; in a direction that fulfilled people rather than just entertained them. And on that spring day in 2004, when a small, old book called The Science of Getting Rich was put into her hands, and Rhonda's whole life suddenly pulled into spectacular focus, she knew exactly what her mission was to become. She was going to take this knowledge to the world. She was going to make a movie to carry joy to every corner of the Earth. And so the great journey that was The Secret began.


In early 2005, when The Secret was simply a name and a vision, Prime Time Productions was made up of Rhonda, Producer Paul Harrington, and Director Drew Heriot. Paul, who had worked with Rhonda at Prime Time Productions virtually since its beginning, and Drew, who had directed several projects for the company as well, became, with Rhonda, the foundation for The Secret team.


For eight weeks Rhonda intensively taught everything she had learned to Paul and Drew. In two short months she had studied the great leaders from the past, read hundreds of books, and amassed countless hours of research. Previous to what Rhonda had thought, she discovered there were people out there alive who were aware of this information. Actually, there were lots of them, and they were some of the world's greatest living scientists, philosophers, and authors. In every part of the world, different fragments of The Secret were being offered, to anyone that would listen. All that was needed was to pull all of the pieces together...


One of Rhonda's initial intentions for the creation of the show was that Prime Time Productions would use The Secret to make The Secret... that it would be an effortless, joyful journey as they attracted everything and everyone that was needed to fulfil the vision. And right when the company was ready to begin production, as if by magic, the perfect people to make The Secret began to appear.


Suddenly the office was filled with people, all working to complete the most ambitious project any of them had ever worked on. And without fail, every person required on the team, materialized exactly when they were needed: Glenda Bell, Production Manager extraordinaire, Marc Goldenfein, a talented young Producer and Director, genius editors Damien Corboy and Daniel Kerr, extraordinary graphic artists James Armstrong, Shamus Hoare, Andy Lewis, and Nic George, post production co-ordinator Emma Franz, the youthful and eager production assistants Skye Byrne and Leni Mex, and literally hundreds of others. And without exception, every single person was taught The Secret, and together worked in total joy as they worked for the joy of billions.


I great piece to be sure and this can help you transform your life forever.

Great Ideas for Traveling With Your Pets on an RV

Found this great post on how to travel with your pet in your RV. We have traveled a fair amount with our dogs. Having them on the road with you has many challenges, and it’s good to be ORGANIZED.


Here is the list of ideas below:


Take a pet first aid kit and know what dosages of medication to give your pets.


Take your veterinarian's regular phone number and emergency phone numbers with you.


Get the phone number for a local veterinarian when you arrive at your destination.
 
Don't forget to take the brand of pet food your pet is used to and take a food and water travel bowl.


Take a walking leash.


Your pet's collar should include identification along with basic information such as your name, address and a cell phone number. You can even include an e-mail address.


Take a harness, tie out anchor and a leash or chain. Give your pet plenty of room to move, but be cautious of traffic and obstacles that they can get hung or caught on. We use portable exercise pens.


Take grooming tools, pet toys and treats.


Take extra cat litter and the cat box.


Take some plastic bags for pet clean up.


Take your pet's favorite bedding or crate.


Take some old towels just in case you need them.


First and foremost always keep in mind that an RV gets extremely hot and / or cold inside depending on the outside temperature. Always make sure there is some type of ventilation and / or heat and air available when pets are left in the RV.


Never leave your pets in an RV for long periods of time without somebody checking on them periodically. If you will be away from your pets and the RV for an extended period of time leave a key with someone you can trust to check on the pets and in case of an emergency.


Always have fresh water available for your pets. You never know the quality of the drinking water when you are traveling so it's a good idea to take a container of water from your home that your pets are accustomed to, or use bottled water.
Pets should always travel in a pet carrier or crate for their personal safety.


Get a current health certificate from your veterinarian before traveling.


Always take the pets medical records along with you.


Take a recent color photograph of your pets with you in the event that they should get lost.


Update all vaccinations before leaving on your trip.


Take a proof of rabies vaccination.


Take flea, tick, and heart worm medications.


Traveling can be stressful on pets especially if they are not used to it. When your pet is away from home and off of their regular schedule it can affect their health. Perform a daily health check on your pet. Look for anything out of the ordinary.
Stop often when you're traveling and allow your pets to exercise and to relieve themselves.


When making campground reservations be sure and ask about pets. Some campgrounds offer kennels and boarding for pets. If your travel plans include day trips or extended travel away from the campsite inquire about these services.

To Be -- or not be -- a Home Based Travel Agent

Well, I found this post over at my wife’s blog. (seems we learn more about each other by reading our blogs!) She is thinking about joining the Pro Travel Network, and becoming a home-based travel agent.  


She is right though, the cost is less than the old-school travel agent training, and this way she can build a down-line as well. It will take some work for sure. 


Her Post….shhhh! 


Well, I’ve decided I want to become a travel agent. Been looking online for the training and what-have-you.


I’ve seen various sites offering training, and they all vary depending on what you want to do. I’m looking Pro Travel Network, because they allow me to get my training quickly with a couple of conference calls, and some online training.


They also have a multi-level marketing aspect to their services as well. I can work from home as well, and get all the perks that come with being a travel agent.


It costs $400 bucks to join, and a $100 dollar annual fee, but that is allot cheaper than taking some older style, formal travel agent training. I still get an IATA card too, and all the rights and benefits that travel agents get.


I can book flights, hotels, and cruises for myself, my family, friends, or who ever. I can make commissions on all travel I book for these folks. I also get three trips a year for under $200 for a week!


I’ll see if this looks good after some more investigation.

Rivers and Roads of Mexico

Mexico1A little bit on Mexico rivers and Roads


Apart from in some southern areas, Mexico’s rivers are mostly unnavigable. (“can’t get there from here”)


Throughout the colonial period, the road from Mexico City to Veracruz served as the umbilical cord between the New World and Spain: during the 16th century land links were also opened to the agriculturally rich Bajfo region north of Mexico City and on to the mining district of Zacatecas.


But when new mines were discovered in what is now southern Chihuahua, attempts to colonize New Mexico failed. It took more than a year to make the 2,600 km round trip from Zacatecas to New Mexico, and neither Spain, nor Mexico had the resources to integrate the great northern reaches which the conquis tadores had claimed as theirs.


When the time came, Anglo-Americans fought the Mexicans and took over what was then northern Mexico.


During the Diaz dictatorship, foreign capital poured in and helped finance the building of roads and railroads to the north and develop un-tapped natural resources.


It then became economically worthwhile for North American companies to begin hulk ore mining. Foreign capital also financed the exploration for oil. By the 1930’s, when the government expropriated the Mexican oil industry, a basic communications system was in place.
