Take these tips into consideration before you commit yourself to anyhealth insurance program in Virginia.Avoid scams. Insurance fraud can go both ways; not all health insurance companies or agentshave your best interest in mind. Many health insurance companies or agents are interested onlyin obtaining money from you. These companies are usually fly-by-night companies. To avoidthese scams, contact the Virginia Bureau of Insurance and ask if the health insurance companyin question is licensed to do business in Virginia. If not, move on. If so, you will be protectedagainst fraud should the company scam you.抯Be aware of what you are purchasing. If the company or agent tells you it health insurance, it抯 抯health insurance. If the company or agent tells you it a health care savings or discount抯plan, it not insurance. The two are not the same, so if you are looking for affordable healthinsurance in Virginia, you do not want to purchase a discount plan. Discount plans may helpyou save money, but they do not provide the same coverage as insurance plans.Pay the Virginia health insurance company. Paying the insurance company directly andrequesting a receipt helps you protect yourself and your health insurance coverage. If theVirginia health insurance agent does not want you to send payment directly to the healthinsurance company, you should contact the health insurance company immediately.Take note of the way the health insurance is purchased. It is possible to find affordable healthinsurance in Virginia via the Internet, telephone, and radio, television, and newspaperadvertisements, but the very solid and reputable health insurance companies do not usually tryto attract customers with flashy gimmicks. Keep your eyes and ears open for showy and loudadvertisements, and take caution with those health insurance companies that use them.Title:The History of NordicTrack - The Famed Fitness GiantWord Count:609Summary:Learn the history of the famed Fitness Giant Nordictrack from it's humble beginings as a unique

trainer for champion cross country skier's to it's current status as the leader in fitness equipment.Keywords:nordictrack, nordic track treadmills, nordic trackArticle Body:NordicTrack began in 1975 under the name PSI NordicTrack Inc. by Edward Pauls in Chaska,Minnesota. Pauls designed ski boots for Rosemount, Inc. based in Minnesota. Pauls had搊studied mechanical engineering, and when the Rosemark Firm closed in 1969 he began to focuswholly on his own inventions. He designed and patented utrigger?skis for handicappedskiers. During a wet and nasty training session the idea for the NordicTrack ski machine wasdesigned, according to Forbes Magazine. Pauls was an avid cross country skier, and hebelieved that he could duplicate the motion indoors so that others may train every month of theyear. He then teamed up with national collegiate cross-country skiing champion and daughterTerri so that she may train with a device all year around and gain an edge against hercompetition. His design paired wooden skis with a patented fly wheel and one way clutchmechanism. After serious interest in his new product, he then invested his own money andbegan manufacturing the NordicTrack cross-country skier.In 1986, after careful management from Ed Pauls and a national fitness craze, the family runbusiness had an annual revenue of $15 Million a year. At this time Pails was either going togrow larger, or sell. When Charles M. Leighton, of the CML Group, Inc. offered him $24Million for the NordicTrack Company, Pauls sold. According to the agreement, Pauls wouldreceive 7 million shares of CML stock, and a five year employment contract that would nameEdward Pauls and his wife Chairman and Senior Vice President.抯When the company was bought by CML, NordicTrack was still only producing the skier, andLeighton wanted to diversify.

After several new products were introduced such asthe Ellipse and Abworks sales still did not swing upward.

At this time, Searswas the largest retailer of fitness equipment in the United States.Despite the major changes, sales in 1997 were continuing to decline.
