The Medical Savings Account (MSA) is an older form of the Health Savings Account (HSA).

You cannot open a new MSA. You cannot contribute additional money into your MSA.

However, you can keep your MSA as long as you like. When you retire, it will automatically turn into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and you can withdraw money from it then for any reason (not just medical).

Or, if you don’t want to keep your MSA, you can roll it into your HSA.

Why would anyone want to keep their MSA?

I can think of only one circumstance. My wife and I have kept our MSA because our HSA custodian does not offer very good investment options yet in their HSAs. They only have a type of money market account for their HSA offerings. We want to put money into mutual fund accounts rather than money markets, but with their HSA product, we can’t do that yet, until they expand the options.

For the most part, it will make perfect sense to roll your MSA into an HSA. However, if you decide not to do that, it is your right to hang on to that MSA as long as you wish, and retire with that money or use it for medical expenses along the way.

You may have noticed that with each passing day, mobile phones are becoming cheaper and cheaper. Cheap mobile phone deals have a package of mobile phone handset, rental plan and freebies like free accessories, free talktime, discounts, etc. Fresh mobile deals enter the market everyday but you need to research, make comparisons and then find a deal which one is cheap for you.

The internet has made this process quite easy so you won’t find it difficult to search and compare mobile phone deals. One thing which does not vary from company to company is the price of the handset; things which vary are offers, discounts, talktime, free gifts, etc. So it is up to how much you research and finally find a mobile deal which works for you.

Nearly all the mobile networks like O2, Vodafone, Orange, provide cheap mobile phone deals with exclusive offers, gifts and accessories. But a cheap mobile phone deal may not have a mobile phone with the latest features. Some mobile companies also offer the family mobile phone deal that usually saves a family paying for individual mobile phone lines.

The deals offered in the online mobile shops are best when compared to ones offered in the stores. This is because you can find free gifts, unbelievable discounts, free handsets, etc. in the online mobile shops from which you could benefit a lot.

Some people think that cheap mobile phones are of low quality and don’t have all the latest functions and features. But this is not true. Mobile phone companies don’t comprise on quality. You may find second hand phones being available as cheap phones but you will have no complaints about quality.

Considering that the Health and Wellness industry is currently a multi-million dollar per year market, and that MLM is one of the quickest ways to develop a large stream of residual income, promoting nutritional programs via network marketing certainly might be right for you.

There are several points you will want to consider though when researching an opportunity to join, such as:

1.) Track Record - Does the company have a good history? Is it debt-free? If it’s a new company, have the founders created another successful business prior to this one? Remember, new companies can offer the potential for you to get in on on the ground floor, but knowing the history of who you are getting involved with is always recommended.

2.) Compensation Plan - Can you understand the compensation plan? Is it straightforward enough so you can explain it to others? Does it provide a commission structure that will allow you to quickly move into profit once you start promoting? Does it hold the potential for developing a large recurring stream of residual income without you having to personally recruit some impossible number of affiliates?

3.) Upline Support - Are the people in your upline willing to support you? Do they have a team in place that can teach you to prospect and make sales? Are they available via phone or email to help you with your questions? Keep in mind, having a good support team will go a long ways to ensuring your own success!

4.) Ease of Replication - Is there an easy to follow system in place to help you generate leads? Is there a follow-up system in place that will assist you in turning those leads into customers? If so, and if this system is available for you to offer your own prospects, building your business will be that much easier. One of the secrets of the top MLM marketing teams is having a successful and easy to replicate system.

5.) The Product - Last but certainly not least is the product. Is it unique? Are their plenty of positive customer testimonials available? Is there solid scientific information behind the ingredients to support those testimonials? Of course, you should be able to purchase the product and try it yourself before deciding to launch your own promotion, so make sure the company is confident enough of its product to offer a full satisfaction guarantee.

Once you’ve found the opportunity that meets your requirements and holds the potential to exceed your expectations, take the plunge. As with any business, MLM nutritional opportunities require time and investment to get going, but once you get the ball rolling, promoting nutrition products through multi-level marketing can put you on the fast track to wealth!

Traditional Italian Minestrone Soup

lb dried cranberry beans
2 quarts of water
lb fresh green beans, broken into halves
3 oz diced salt pork
lb peeled and diced potatoes
1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
lb peeled and diced onions
12 oz can diced tomatoes, or 1 cup peeled and diced fresh ripe tomatoes
2 mashed cloves of garlic
tsp fresh ground black pepper
tsp salt
1 small carrot, peeled and diced
1 stalk celery, diced with leaves
1 pork hock, or hambone
8 oz spaghetti
1/8 Cup butter

Soak and drain beans according to package directions. Add beans to the water and bring
to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and add all the other ingredients (except the spaghetti and butter). Cover and cook for two hours.

When the beans are finished cooking boil a second pot of water to which add spaghetti broken into 1 inch pieces. When the spaghetti is cooked drain it and add the butter. Place 1 oz cooked spaghetti in the bottom of each bowl.

Ladle one scant cup soup on top of spaghetti. Serve piping hot. ( I have found with this particular meal that about the time the soup is served people beginning to get full. So I stick with small portions which works very well. You want people to enjoy the entire meal. My father in law is the only person who has ever picked at this meal, but, by the end he says this is better than that stuff out of the jar.)

So sexual toy are on the lips of every girl these days, either conversing about them in the web chats, at the college or on the tv. But which sexual toy is the hottest, with the massive choice to select from surely a researcher had to find out the best one.

A new adult toy site asked over 120 UK women in March what their most excellent sexual toy was along with other personal questions.

If you love sex toys you should try out Large Vibrators

It was discovered that the most most excellent sexual toy for UK women was the vibrator, and they just liked it! UK shoppers were so excited by the idea of a giant vibrator that many of them would use it straight after coming home from work. The best types of vibrator were the rabbit vibrators as they help to stimulate the clitoris as well as inserting into the flower.

The 2nd most popular sexual toy was the exciting dildo dong. Dildos are similar to vibrators except they do not have batteries or vibrate. Dildos come in all shapes and sizes from 10 inches to twelve inches. They can come with suction cups to have an unreal experience hands free and can easily attach to a bath or toilet set. Dildos have been a firm best seller since the 80s and looks like they will be around for a long time.

So it was decided that the vibrator was the winner and the dildo came in second place, with some many sex toys out there it was difficult to know which type of vibrator was the most exciting for women to try. The classic vibrators are battery powered and shaped like a guys penis. Standard vibrators are shaped just like the proper thing and use batteries for power. Classic vibrators can be manufactured of plastic, vinyl metal or silicone. Classic vibrators can either be popped in or placed against your vagina to get the sexual feeling. We store a wide range of classic vibrators.

The easiest way to use classic vibrators is to make sure it is fresh before use, make sure it is not too massive for your vagina, and also make sure that you do not use it every Wedbesday night and you do venture out on a date to the nightclub.

Have you ever thought about a specific amount of money you *think* you need, to feel what it’s like to experience success? …

Go back and read that question again.

Most haven’t, but chances are if you have, it’s pretty close to $5,000 a month.

I recently ran a survey to a handful of my best customers, asking them how much money they’d have to make to call themselves successful in their online business…

Out of 113 surveyed, 42 responded with at or around $5,000 a month. 18 of the 42 specifically mentioned passive, or residual income in the amount of $5,000 per month.

Thirty-seven percent of those surveyed wanted $5,000 per month, while fifteen percent wanted it in residual income.

As you continue to read this article, you will learn about a rock solid, tried, tested and approved nine-step strategy for easily acquiring $5,000 per month online using only email…

1. Find an affiliate program that pays instantly, or at least twice a month.

2. Join the affiliate program and calculate your Dollar Value Commission divided by 5,000. This will give you the total number of sales you need to convert from your affiliate link each month. [Example: 5,000 / $33.50 = 150 sales per month]

3. Take your number of sales per month, and divide by four. This gives you the number of sales needed per week. [Example: 150 / 4 = 38 sales per week]

4. Take your sales per week and divide by seven. You now have the number of sales needed per day… [Example: 38 / 7 = 6 sales per day]

5. Now create your Simplified Target Statement:

Example:
“In order to acquire $5,000 per month, I am attracting 6 sales per day, 7 days per week — this or something better!”

6. Print out this statement, take a red pen and circle it. Trace the circle a few times with the pen to “cement” the the idea firmly in your mind.

7. Tape it to your computer desk, or keep it somewhere near you. Preferably, you want to see it during the morning, afternoon and night if possible.

8. Go to MBPAdvertising.com and run a solo ad inside a publication. Keep a record of what publications pull sales, and keep buying ads in those ezines until your campaign becomes unprofitable.

9. Buy more ads from different sources. MyWizardAds.com and DirectoryOfEzines.com can both provide excellent resources for advertising in online publications.

Within one week of each campaign, find out which publications to keep advertising in, and which ones to drop by calculating the revenue minus advertising cost of each referred sale. For example, if Ezine A ran my ad and it received 34 sales generating $1,139 in commissions, and I paid $149 to run the ad, I made $990.00 in pure profit.

Obviously, I made more than I spent to acquire those customers, so my campaign is considered profitable. This is ALL that matters. If you’re making more than you’re spending to get customers, you’re golden!

People often get caught up and frozen in details that really don’t matter anyway.

All that matters is that you make more than you spend to acquire new customers.

Granted, some can afford to lose money on acquiring new customers because they have a well thought out follow up strategy to pick up the profit on the back end.

This may seem basic… and it is. But if you can apply 100% of your focus to a Simplified Target Statement without worrying about the details… you will reach your target and acquire the exact amount of income you’re after.

Sure, there are many other things you could do to acquire just six new customers per day, with a commission of $33.50 per sale — but you don’t need it.

Stick to the basics. They’re basic, because they are fundamental principles that work.

I can’t tell you how long it’ll take you to reach your $5,000 per month reward.

But this simple method can make earning that lifestyle closer than ever before.

Think about it. With a $67 product at 50% commission, you’re just six sales per day away from a $5,000 per month experience that’ll change your life.

The cast iron sinks with thick layer of enamel coating will maintain the gloss and beauty it possesses for many years to come if it is maintained properly. Due to the presence of the cast iron, these sinks will never have the problem of getting dented or chipped or even scratched. The antique look that the copper or the brass sinks have will perfectly compliment the people who want their home and its surroundings to have a contemporary look and feel.

Copper or brass sinks will tend to loose their freshness in a short span of time and will attain a more darker and sober faddish look that is preferred by most people and hence they will not be tempted to apply the metal polish on the surface of these sinks to maintain its new look. So, whatever be the type of sinks that one chooses, each metal coated sink has its own advantages and disadvantages and will solely depend on the homeowner to decide which one will best suit his or her home.

Sinks are one of the most used elements in the kitchen, and it makes perfect sense investing in one that will serve you for a long time, the copper or metal coated sink is a perfect solution.

“The best Leader is one who knows how to pick good people to do
what he or she wants done and self-restraint enough to keep from
meddling with them while they do it.” - Heidi Richards -

Developing Your Mission

Mission statements describe the purpose of an organization or a
sub-group of it. It is a general description of what it is that
the team is there to do. It grows out of the Vision. It
describes the organization’s purpose. It tends to be general
with objectives often accompanying it. The mission provides the
“framework” for goals and objectives. It also provides guidance
for the major decisions officers and board members need to make.
Identifying or updating the mission is usually done during
strategic planning.

Developing a mission statement can be approached using varying
methods:

Participants may use highly analytical and rational exercises
such as focused discussions or highly creative and divergent
approaches through daydreaming, sharing stories, etc.

In the wording process consider the products, services, values,
market and concern for the public image of the organization.

The mission should be brief enough (one or two sentences) that
everyone in the organization can learn it and recite verbatim.

Adding or removing a word, which may also further define the
scope of products and services of the organization, can
accomplish refining the mission.

The mission should include sufficient description so that it
clearly separates the mission of the organization from other
organizations.

It is a good idea to revisit the mission from time to time to
make sure it is relevant to the organization’s current
situation.

To stimulate thinking the group should consider the functions
of the organization, who the organization serves (the customer)
and how the organization will fulfill the functions (the
activities, methods and technologies).

With the escalating price of gas, buying a fuel-efficient car makes a lot of sense. Approximately 15% of new car buyers reject a model due to poor gas mileage. Nearly 40% of those consumers who eliminate a full-size SUV due to gas mileage ultimately purchase a midsize SUV instead, while nearly 20% purchase another model altogether. (J.D. Power and Associates, Sept. 2004.)

But even if you don’t currently own a fuel-efficient car, there are lots of ways you can improve the fuel efficiency of your present vehicle until you’re ready to purchase one of the best gas mileage cars. Your personal driving habits have a big effect on your fuel use and costs. You can better manage your vehicle operating costs as well as minimize the emissions it produces by driving less and more efficiently. Here are some tips to help.
First, you need to know what kind of mileage you are getting. Calculate this by filling up your tank and recording the odometer reading-or you can reset your trip gauge to zero. Next time you get gas, fill the tank again and divide the miles you traveled between fill ups by the quantity of gas you bought on this fill-up. This is your car’s miles per gallon or mpg. If it’s pretty dismal, here’s how to turn your fuel guzzler into a fuel saver:
Drive slower: The aerodynamic drag on your car increases noticeably the faster you drive. The drag force at 70 mph is about double that at 50 mph, so keeping speed down can increase your mileage considerably. Gas mileage decreases rapidly at speeds over 60 mph. Each 5 mph above 60 mph is like paying an additional $.10/gallon for gas. Observing the speed limit is also safer for everyone.

Maintain a constant speed: Every time you speed up, you use energy, some of which is wasted when you slow the car down again. By maintaining a constant speed, especially driving the posted speed limit, you will improve your fuel efficiency. Just by increasing your highway cruising speed from 62 mph to 74 mph you increase fuel consumption by about 20%! Using cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a constant speed and will usually save gas.

Drive gently: Aggressive driving-speeding, rapid acceleration and hard braking-wastes gas. These bad habits can lower your gas mileage by 33% at highway speeds and 5% in the city. In addition, reasonable driving is safer for you and others, so you may be saving more than gas money. Consider using overdrive gears on the highway, as this decreases engine speed, reducing fuel usage and engine wear.

Avoid Excess Idling: Idling gets 0 miles/gallon and wastes fuel and money, is hard on the engine and adds to toxic emissions. Cars with larger engines typically waste more gas at idle than those with smaller engines. Turn off your engine if you think you will be stopped for more than 30 seconds. However, if you’re driving a fuel-efficient car like a hybrid, your electric motor is on when you idle, so you’re not wasting any gas at all!
Minimize air conditioning: Using your air conditioner in hot weather can increase your fuel consumption by more than 20% in city driving. Whenever possible, close all windows and use the air vents to circulate air instead of air conditioning. You will improve your fuel efficiency in summer by minimizing the use of air conditioning and using your car’s flow-through ventilation, especially on the highway. If you must use the air conditioning, set the controls to a level that lets the system cycle, and turn it off once the interior of car is cooled down enough. Also consider such options a sunroof and tinted glass to keep the car cool.

Keep Your Car in Shape: Maintaining your vehicle in top working condition saves you fuel and money, and reduces long-term maintenance costs while minimizing harmful emissions.

Keep Your Engine Properly Tuned-Getting regular tune-ups when your car is out of tune or has failed an emissions test may improve gas mileage by about 4%. If your car has a faulty oxygen sensor and you have it fixed, gas mileage could improve as much as 40%. Make sure the spark plugs, if you have them, are firing properly, replacing them when necessary. Have the engine timing checked for accuracy.

Check & Replace Air Filters Regularly-Replacing a clogged air filter could improve a car’s gas mileage by as much as 10%. Additionally, it will protect your engine from impurities. Change this more often if you live in a dusty climate, drive on dirt or gravel roads or if you drive off-road for fun.

Keep Tires Properly Inflated-Your gas mileage can increase by about 3.3% if you keep tires inflated to their proper pressure. It takes more effort and gas for the engine to propel an underinflated tire than a correctly inflated one-which provide less road-resistance, thereby improving fuel efficiency. Beware over-inflation, though, which can lead to handling problems and uneven tire wear. Check tire pressure on a regular basis, looking for signs of uneven wear or embedded objects that can cause air leaks. In winter, check tire pressure if there is a sharp change in temperature, as cold weather decreases air pressure in the tires.
Use the Recommended Grade of Motor Oil-Fuel efficiency can improve by 1-2% if you use the manufacturer’s recommended grade of motor oil. Also, if you change your own oil, look for motor oil rated as “Energy Conserving” to be sure it contains friction-reducing additives.

Check Which Gas to Use-Choose the correct octane gas for your car by checking your owner’s manual. It’s not necessary to buy the “super” high-octane gas unless your car manufacturer recommends it or your engine knocks without it. While you won’t do harm to the engine, you will be paying more than you need to, since premium (highest octane) gas sells for an average of 17 cents more per gallon than regular gas. Only about 6% of cars sold in the U.S. need premium gas, according to the AAA. Also, avoid topping off your gas tank, since in warmer weather, fuel expansion can cause an overflow and you’ll be wasting precious fuel. You want to be a fuel saver-not a fuel waster!

Planning & Combining Trips: Combining errands to do together and in similar areas saves time and money. Several short trips starting from a cold engine can use twice as much fuel as a longer multi-purpose trip that covers the same distance when the engine is warmed up. With a little advance planning, you can avoid high traffic areas, road construction, retracing your route and ultimately reduce the distance you travel while running errands. You’ll not only save on fuel, but also reduce wear and tear on your car.
Commuting: If you can alternate your work hours to avoid rush hour, you’ll spend less time sitting in traffic and burn up less fuel. For stop and go traffic, drive your best gas mileage car if you own more than one vehicle. Contemplate telecommuting (working from home) when your job permits. If you can, participate in carpools and ride-share programs. You can cut your weekly fuel costs in half and save wear on your car if you take turns sharing driving with others.

Traveling: A roof rack or carrier affords additional cargo space and helps out when you have a smaller car. However, a loaded roof rack decreases fuel efficiency by 5%. Reduce the wind resistance and increase your fuel efficiency by putting objects inside the trunk when possible. Also, remove any unnecessary items, especially heavy ones, as an extra 100 lbs. in the trunk reduces a car’s fuel efficiency by about 1 to 2%.
