Blue Surge

Archive for July, 2009

I told you earlier that I recently had sneak peek into the Membership Blueprint members area. Here is part two of this popular and exciting course which will be available in a couple of days.

I said before that there was a great overview to help you get started, but I forgot to mention that one of the first things you notice is that Matt and John are going to be there to help you. They want to help you. You can send them questions, comments and suggestions through the survey they show on the welcome and download pages. They also have a personal help desk service that you can use. The point is they welcome feedback and really want to help you understand everything, so you can be successful with it.

Okay continuing on with part II of the sneak peek:

Membership Blueprints Module #5

This is a set of 11 highly engaging videos, ebooks and audio files covering the “Private Mebmership Secrets” as they like to call it. This in itself is likely another $997 real world value. This includes some great teaching including:

- How to find profitable membership site ideas
- How to get people to your membership sites
- How to continually get great content for your membership site
- How to go about increasing the value of your membership site
- How to be confident & successful with your membership site
- Everything you need to know about membership site list building
- How to stop members from wanting to leave your membership

In summary this is a great module to help you get your membership started on the right foot (so to speak). Where the first part, modules one through four, helped you figure out the technical details, this training will help ensure you can keep the momentum going and be successful with your membership business.

I am really pumped to get this course!

Stop back tomorrow for another look into the members area…

Many people are reluctant to leave their high-priced health insurance illinois plan because it has a “low” co-pay. That raises a fair question: Just how much does it really cost to carry a policy with a “low” co-pay?

Let’s assume the co-pay is $20. Our happily insured family sends one family member to the Doctor this month. The cost? “Just $20″. That is what we will typically hear: “but the Dr. visit only cost me $20 out of my pocket.” Is this the truth?

A closer look reveals a hidden secret fact. The insured person forgets to include the amount of the premium they have to pay every month to maintain that coverage! After all, the total amount of money out of your pocket must include all of these payments. You have to count ALL of it! (Otherwise, you are cheating yourself when you are evaluating your coverage and costs.)

A typical family today may easily be paying $600 (or more) in monthly premiums for that policy. Let’s assume it is exactly $600. Wouldn’t it then be more correct to state that the total out of pocket expense for the month was $620? After all, you had to pay the $600 premium in order to have the “convenience” of a $20 co-pay.

What if that single visit to the doctor turned out to be the only medical expense incurred for the year? Now, how much did that visit to the doctor actually cost? The annual premium is $7,200. Add $20 for one doctor visit and your annual cost is $7,220. That means that your ONE doctor visit cost you $7,200 for the year.

This example simplifies too much. Let’s take a more realistic example. Given the same family and situation, how much would they pay for an HSA plan with a high deductible, but with no co-pays? The answer will vary from state to state and depends on a variety of factors such as age, insurability, etc. For illustrative purposes, let’s presume this family has opted to go with a $5,000 deductible HSA family plan with a monthly premium of $380.

The key is to compare the premiums on the co-plan with the HSA plan premiums. In this example, the difference is $220/month (600 minus 380 = $220). This is a much more accurate and realistic number. That’s because the true “cost” of carrying a $20 co-pay in this example is the difference between the high premiums on the co-pay plan and the low premiums on the HSA plan that has no co-pays (by law). In this example, it happens to be $220 a month, which means that the true net cost of carrying a $20 co-pay plan is $220/month, or $2,640. $2,640 more a year just to carry a co-pay plan.

The actual difference between the co-pay plan and the HSA plan will vary from case-to-case, but the principle remains the same. The insurance company is going to charge you more for the privilege of being able to pay “only” $20 when you visit the Doctor (or buy a prescription, etc.). Simply stated, the more risk you’re willing to assume at point-of-purchase, the lower the insurance company can make the premiums! The key is what YOU actually do with the money you save. This is where the HSA comes to the rescue, because “Uncle Sam” will actually pay you to save money in an HSA account! (Thus, here lies the beauty of tax-deductible contributions made to your HSA savings account.)

Wooden patio furniture can be among the best investments that you can have in your front yard. Wooden garden furniture comes in a variety of sizes and shapes. There is an option to put up planters and seating. The manufacturers of wooden garden furniture are plenty so if one decides to purchase this type of material they may find themselves overwhelmed with the array of choices.

The first thing you need to do is begin with a supplier which has a wide variety of furniture available. The durability of the timber is a hallmark of their product. For example, a provider in UK utilizes Iroko timber which could be resistant to many factors that could destroy wood in a short time.

While nothing is immune to theft including your wooden garden furniture, look for galvanized or stainless steel that can help prevent this unfortunate incident. This can provide you with peace of mind so that you never have to worry about furniture that is left outside your home.

Environmentally conscious people may think providers who have an ecological policy are appealing as well. One provider follows a policy which is designed such that they may only get timber materials from countries that possess sustainable ecological plans. This information is helpful, especially if you are worried that your wooden garden furniture purchase might be detrimental to the environment. This should not be true with certain providers, apparently. Check into this prior to purchasing any wooden garden furniture.

You must seek out providers who will also value and emphasize customer satisfaction. A full replacement guarantee is included with the purchase of this item. Some providers also help you with the specifications of the orders you want to give. This will encourage you to cherish your acquisition even more since it would be uniquely designed for you.

Make sure if the seller is agreeable to allow his customer have a scrutiny of his products. Find a merchant with a good return policy.

For price listings, you should always be sure to look at what information is available on the internet first. This gives you the chance to look through different models first and to check out the prices from the comfort of your own home. Both time and money can be saved if you use this method. You may also take a look at the wooden garden furniture of some homeowners and inquire into their providers. You will probably find several new and useful referrals as well as pricing information.

Not all garden furniture are priced low, particularly the durable timber ones. When you purchase something, make sure it is durable enough to last for a number of years.

Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic vesica inflammation. It is often extreme and very bothersome. Of the over five hundred thousand souls enduring IC, nearly ninety percent are women.

Indications of IC are frustratingly variable and may be radically different from one patient to another patient, or even simply for one patient from one day to another. People persevering with IC ofttimes go through an urgent need to urinate. They can have continual irritation, tenderness, pressing, or extreme pain in the vesica and surrounding pelvic area.

Particular edibles seem to catalyze symptoms. The most common foods observed tend to be tomatoes, vinegar, alcohol, spicy foods and coffee.

Interstitial cystitis is commonly diagnosed after other considerations with analogous symptoms have been excluded with certainty.

The true cause of IC is unknown. Although the symptoms resemble a bladder infection, interstitial cystitis does not appear to be triggered by bacteria. One theory indicates that IC is caused by an infectious agent that has not hitherto been determined. Another theory holds that IC is some sort of an autoimmune response. And then another hypothesis is that it is associated to allergic reactions. Because it varies so much in different individuals, interstitial cystitis might not be a single phenomenon but numerous problems.

A variety of remedies are frequently tried alone or in concert before one is found which succeeds. Oral antihistamines like hydroxyzine and certirizine may supply respite, and the sleepiness they produce often wears off over time. Because of these side effects, some people prefer a natural approach and believe in the interstitial cystitis quercetin reports indicating quercetin’s helpful properties.

Other medicines employed for interstitial cystitis include anti-inflammatory drugs and pyridium. In some cases, medicines like dimethyl sulfoxide and heparin may be introduced into the bladder with a catheter. Actual surgical alteration of the bladder is rarely utilized to address IC.

Quercetin is a common option among natural treatments for interstitial cystitis. Quercetin is a bioflavonoid which might have anti-inflammatory properties. A small placebo-controlled double-blind trial found that a pill holding quercetin reduced symptoms of IC.

But you should research side effects of quercetin before proceeding with this remedy. Specifically, individuals struggling from acid reflux or GERD may want to avoid quercetin. It wouldn’t be informed to risk further issues along the digestive tract while attempting to address your IC.

Less than thirty miles southeast of Los Angeles, Anaheim is located in Orange Country, California. It is the tenth largest city in California with a population of just over three hundred thousand.

The task of finding hotels in Anaheim California does not have to be hard. With some preparation and planning, you will be able to find suitable accommodations.

Anaheim also hosts a major theme park complex in Disneyland Resort. Disneyland Resort includes a Disneyland Park, A Disney’s California Adventure Park, and a Downtown Disney. Disney’s California Park, as the name suggests, is a California-themed Disney attraction that was designed like a living California postcard. The park contains miniature replicas of many prominent California attractions, including the Golden Gate Bridge. Disney’s California Adventure is the “adult” component of Disneyland: the rides here are scarier, the shows are more adult-oriented, there are many more restaurants and alcohol is available. Downtown Disney, on the other hand, is an outdoor dining, shopping, and entertainment area in a more garden-like setting.

Because of its many tourist attractions, hotels in Anaheim are often hard to book in advance. Before you go to Anaheim make sure to plan well ahead of time.

TAHITIAN NONI® Juice is the world most popular noni product. Common miss-spellings of its names are just noni, tahitan noni, tahitan noni juice or even just tahitian. Because the juice is made from fruit grown on Society Islands in French Polynesia the many international visitors that have spent time on its amazing beaches are not sure of the spelling. It’s a good thing that the search engines have figured out a way to read these people’s minds and offer the correct spelling: TAHITIAN NONI® Juice.

It is kind of amazing that most people can describe the fruit quite accurately, and could easily point out the bushes and trees as they walk around the islands but have no idea what it is used for. That is probably the case with many things we see every day on our vacations.

Tahitian Noni International’s discovery of a simple food processing process that converts the raw fruit to puree and then blends it with blueberry and grape juice to eliminate the extremely strong taste made it a commercial success worldwide. Previously you have been wise to heed the admonition of your island hotel porter to not eat the raw fruit. But with the mild tasting TAHITIAN NONI® Juice he could not just as easily bring you a glass with your next room service order.

One of the four main benefits of this juice described on our web site is that with its combination of antioxidant-rich fruit juices, TAHITIAN NONI Juice is one of the world’s great super-antioxidants.

For the best in a celebrity extravaganza, you must do some searching to find exactly what you are looking for. Perhaps you are looking to emulate one particular star, going for the same look or the same style, even trying to get their personality down as your own. Or maybe you just like their music videos and want to rock out to some great tunes. Some just enjoy the interesting gossip that’s so prolific all over the Internet. Whichever you prefer in celebrity fun, you can find it. Start collecting the music, photos or videos of your favorites. Someday they could be treasured items.

Have you ever hunted for celebrity hairstyles sites on your computer? If you just make use of any popular search engine, you’ll find many choices. The gossip websites, as well as the entertainment shows on television, elicit all sorts of comments and critiques. But you must keep in mind, celebrities are just people – although very talented, of course. They work hard to entertain and give us the ability to escape reality once in a while, with a great movie or some amazing music. Everyone seems to have his or her own opinion of any individual in the news. You just have to make your own decisions based on your own experiences.

Celebrity videos are always something that catches attention. The big controversy is if they are edited somehow, giving our stars more of a glow than really exists. But there are some celebrities that look even more beautiful in real life than in their photos or on their videos. Check out pictures of Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears. The boys will love to see some Pamela Anderson pictures and some great lady celebrities posing for the camera. When you can’t see them in person, certainly a video or a photo will work!

Of course, the big thing today is celebrities scoops. Most everyone seems to be interested in getting the latest from Hollywood. Scandals are plentiful, and people read the gossip news to find out who loves whom, who is leaving whom, and where they are traveling. They can see the most recent events and the latest photos. The girls moon over actors like Nick Nolte, Hugh Grant and Robert Downey, Jr. The men study the starlets’ pictures and read about what they like most in men. We can get our minds off of all the insanity in the world today, by immersing ourselves in the lives of the rich and famous.
