Did You Know it's Now Estimated Over 24 Million People Are Working From Home

That's a lot of people and, every year more and more people are fleeing their regular jobs to work from home.

Why the boom in people working from home?

Because it is now easier than ever before in history to make a remarkable income from home! The internet spawned new jobs that could easily be done from home with just internet access. And many companies, large and small, are realizing they could have people working from their homes, thereby saving them large amounts of money on office space and other employee expenses.

And though many people still don't know about this yet (but many more are discovering this every day as word is spreading fast), one of the most in-demand work at home jobs is auction entry specialist.

You can even become a specialist with zero training!

Let me tell you about it:

You've probably seen or know people who have sold and purchased products on eBay before. For
example, you've seen thousands of businesses selling their products to customer using eBay. Millions of products have to be listed every month to keep up with the 59 billion dollar marketplace of eBay.

Do you know why these products are listed?

Companies can generate millions of dollars in products without spending an dime in advertising by using auction sites like eBay. A company can avoid spending money on radio and TV when millions ofcustomers are already shopping on eBay every day. On average companies spend between 20 and 40% of their income on advertising expensive and desperate to figure out ways to capitalize on generating sales through eBay and reducing their advertising expenses.

It's no wonder tens of thousands of companies in the United States are using auction sites like
eBay. Both small businesses and large corporations do this. And here's where the massive
money-making opportunity knocks on your door because of it...

Companies Are Desperate For People Like You To Independently Process Their Auction Listings From Home!

You see, there is $59 Billion in product sold on eBay every year, and companies need tons of people to submit and process their auction listings! Companies don't want to process these listings themselves. They would have to buy new buildings and hire and house tons of new employees to do that. Plus – When they process orders on eBay they are generating sales that required no advertising. They are saving millions of dollars by not having to advertise in newspapers, radio or TV. They are eager to pass that savings on to someone who can list their products on auction sites like eBay.

Instead, they know anyone of any age and background can do this because it's very simple and easy, and anyone can learn to do it in an afternoon and begin immediately. And it can be done from anywhere. Therefore, companies much prefer to have people listing their products, independently, from home.

And even though it's simple and easy (I will show you the three easy steps to process an auction
listing shortly) ...and can be done from home... the money is great!

Let me put it this way: To process one listing takes between 3 to 4 minutes. To be conservative, let's say it takes 4 minutes. Well, if you process 1 listing every 4 minutes, and you do that for 60
minutes, that amounts to 15 listing in 60 minutes. And the average amount you make per listing
processed is $13.

Let's do the math: 15 listings for $13 each equals $195. That's $195 for 60 minutes of work! If you do this five days a week, you can make $975 a week... $4,192.50 a month... and $50,310 a year!

And you can work as little or as much as you want! It doesn't matter. I personally now work about 4 hours a day, and that's because I really enjoy it and I like to make a very big income so I can go overboard with providing for my family. It all depends on how much money you want to make.

As of today, I have been given 200 "CODINGS" that are being attached to my 5 FREE listing vouchers. These listing vouchers have been coded in such a way that the next 200 people who activate one of my 5 FREE LISTING vouchers will be:

Given 5 FREE listings that will be good UNTIL THEY SELL THE ITEM they are listing with me! In other words, these SPECIAL listing codes will NEVER expire and they can continue to list up to 5 items for LIFE with ME!

In the Future....

OTHER listing codes WILL expire but these 200 will be special and will carry ONCE IN A LIFETIME benefits that these people WILL appreciate!

This is GOLD and we are GIVING it to you...

We are giving you GOLD. It is like EBAY in the beginning giving a few people who helped them get started, FREE listings for life in exchange for helping them reach their goal of building their foundation. The great part is, we are giving this to you to build YOUR business and OUR business as well. There is TREMENDOUS value in this now and MORE SO in the future as you will see.

Can you imagine what the people who activate these SPECIAL listing vouchers will think when they find out they are going to OWN 5 FREE listings for LIFE?

MWe are making a commitment to doing our part to take this company to the top so we can all join the likes of Ebay, Craig's List, Ubid etc..

By the way, we are NOT here to "Compete" with those company's. We RESPECT those company's but we are here to be an ADDITIONAL resource to people who use those services right now. People who sell things online like to "diversify" and we are the PERFECT service for them to achieve that.

Other Useful Information For A Naturally Good Halloween

MICHELE BESCHEN / Scripps Howard News Service

Halloween celebrates all things spooky, but it doesn't have to frighten our health, our pocketbooks or the environment. Here are some ways to mark the occasion that play up the earthy, imaginative, resourceful side in all of us. The idea being, we make Halloween less of a commercial affair and more of an environmentally friendly family affair.
Costumes

For eco-friendly, yet still playful, costume options, think secondhand. Or make one yourself using items from around the house. It makes great sense to organize costume swaps with friends and neighbors and to shop secondhand stores. Creating costumes is about one of the easiest do-it-yourself projects you can take on because it's all about being creative. It has to last for only one wearing, and it doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be fun! Search your closets, the kitchen and the garage. All the supplies you need are right there in front of you. Pull things together, then let your children's imagination go to work. They'll have their own ideas on how to configure things and what kind of innovative characters they want to create.
Homemade brews

If you need "blood," face paint or other ooey, gooey concoctions, make them yourself. They're inexpensive, and you know exactly what you're putting on your or your child's skin. There are endless recipes that include simple, everyday ingredients from the kitchen. The online community is an excellent resource for recipes, and it's good to try out a few to see what works best with the ingredients you have. For recipes that call for food coloring, explore using natural colorants.

Reusable treat bags

Create a treat bag from scratch out of materials from around the house, or use one that can double as a shopping tote for the rest of the year. Making a bag is a quick and easy do-it-yourself project that anyone can handle. Good household materials to use include pillowcases and cloth napkins. The kids can have fun decorating them with paints and stencils for that special Halloween touch.
Healthy treats

Fun candy doesn't have to mean unhealthy candy. Explore the organic, natural candies that are becoming more and more plentiful, affordable and delicious. Offer trick-or-treaters sweet treats that aren't filled with artificial colorings, flavorings and other undesirables. This is a good choice for kids and the environment.
Natural decor

Be resourceful when it comes to decorating, and play up the simple use of natural elements rather than relying on synthetic paraphernalia from party stores. Decorate with things like driftwood, cornstalks, leaves, branches and, of course, pumpkins. These can then get tossed to the compost bin when the big day has passed, so you have nothing to store and nothing goes to waste. When carving pumpkins, save the seeds to toast and eat or to plant for next year. You can also put some of your recyclables or leftovers into play to create reusable Halloween decor. Make use of energy-efficient lights and use soy-based candles in jack-o'-lanterns.

An eco-friendly --eco-logical and eco-nomical -- approach to Halloween is a naturally good idea year after year.

South Texas Business News Wire Release

Cutting Edge Affiliate Marketing Program Caters to Millions of Online Shoppers & Marketers

Limited To 10,000 "Platinum Founders"Reseller Licenses

Founders Of Big Ticket Depot & Big Value Depot, Joel Sauceda (CEO) and Brad Harris (VP) along with The 300 Elite Team member, Arnetta Pike, announce the launch of the highest commission pay out program for an online Auction & Listing service in history.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 23, 2009 – A Texas based online auction & listing company has announced the launch of an affiliate business model that will build traffic and listings for websites that will cater to individuals or companies who are selling big ticket items.

This launch will be limited to 10,000 affiliate resellers who will be classified as "Platinum Founders". Platinum Founders will be enrolled by the beta "300 Elite Team" and will be eligible for the following benefits:

- $75 commissions per affiliate enrollment (75% commission)

- 50% MONTHLY client listing fee commissions

- Placement in corporate "Client Rotator" system. This will assign paying clients to Platinum Founders.

- Platinum Founders will be assigned a Platinum Web Store for personal use.

BigTicketDepot.com and BigValueDepot.com will compete for eBay’s market share in the online listing & auction industry but will use a "REFERRAL MARKETING" rewards system to compensate people who want to own a home based business.

Joel Sauceda (CEO) announced the companies are projecting an estimated $1,000,000 in affiliate commissions to be paid out in the first year.

The unique 3 tier affiliate commission pay out system (Not MLM) is as follows:

Affiliate enrollment fee of $299 to be reduced to $99 for first 3000 Platinum Founders. Monthly maintenance fee of $69 to be reduced to $39.95 for first 3000 members

In a personal letter to potential affiliates, Sauceda wrote:“My name is Joel Sauceda and I am founder of Big Ticket and Big Value Depot online. These are two websites that were created as a result of the economic recession. I am an entrepreneur who identified that. MILLIONS of people are in "liquidation of asset" mode right now . The recession has created a frenzy of people trying to sell personal items in order to build up their cash holdings. As we have all heard, CASH IS KING now and my company was created to assist people in converting their items into cash.

It is well documented that MILLIONS of items are being listed DAILY on Websites such as Craigs List, eBay and Amazon, to name a few. With 18 years of experience in referral marketing, I identified a way to create a WIN/WIN for both the SELLER of items online and the person introducing a WAY to sell their items online. For almost 11 months, I have directed my programmers to create an online platform which will enable MILLIONS of people to post items for sale in either an AUCTION setting or a BUY IT NOW setting, giving the SELLER complete creative control and at a FRACTION of what they would pay the more popular listing web stites.

We are accepting 10,000 licensed resellers who will:

-Earn up to 75% commission on new affiliates

-Earn up 50% or MORE on MONTHLY client listing fees

With only 20 you could net $1200 per MONTH in solid residual income. This can be done relatively soon with what my company will do to assist you in attracting clients and affiliates.”

The Topic Of Weight Loss Is To Start The Pritikin Program

The topic of weight loss is becoming more of an issue as the future draws near. Americans are the epitome of an overweight society. We eat and snack and eat and snack. I don't even think it's how much we eat, but more, what we eat.

Our fast food mentality is driving us to an early grave. If you check out and super market or drugstore, you will be overwhelmed with weight loss products. It's bizarre how much we advertise and consume these magic pills when we continue to make the problem worse with our processed foods. Weight loss is a major concern that isn't getting anything but worse.

I recall as a child that we went to a fast food restaurant like McDonalds about once every couple of weeks. Wow, has this changed. I read in a recent poll that Americans typically hit up the old drive-through, once or twice a day on average. That's terrible! Didn't anyone watch "Supersize Me" or read about the leading cause of death in Americans?

While society refuses to change its eating habits, companies are making a killing on weight loss products. This is simply a battle between the media and our stomachs. Everyone craves that Big Mac, but also wants that tone tummy. Our media has made it clear that thin is beautiful and healthy.

With a deluge of weight loss products on the market today, how do you know what to choose when dieting. The Internet has made it much easier in attaining much needed information on specific weight loss programs and diet plans. Whether you're looking for chocolate shakes to replace your daily meals, or desiring a magic pill that pulls all of the water out of your body, hence giving you a false thin appearance, there are plenty to choose from.

From the list of weight loss products, Slim Fast seems to be a popular choice for many dieters. This company offers countless munchies and meals that keep your calories down. Another popular business is Weight Watchers. This company not only offers a spectrum of weight loss products, but also provides a website where you can log on and punch in the amount of calories you've acquired for the day. This way you can be sure of what you actually ate.

No matter what your diet plan, the key is to eat right and exercise. If you forget these two basics, then you might as well pack it in. Just because we live in a world of junk food, doesn't mean you have to give in to temptation.

There is so numerous fat loss diets out there it can be awkward to recognize what to decide. A lot of these diets demand you to dramatically cut calories or even discontinue consuming carbohydrates. To see a list of all the major diet plans, go to Fat Loss Diets

Labradoodle Puppies, and Labradoodle Dog Breed Information

Labradoodle dog breed information. Learn about the Labradoodle puppy breed in our Labradoodle dog information article. The Labradoodle puppy article reveals that the Labradoodle was first deliberately bred in 1989, when Australian breeder Wally Conron first crossed the Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle for Guide Dogs Victoria.

His aim was to combine the low-shedding coat of the Poodle with the gentleness and trainability of the Labrador, and to provide a Guide Dog suitable for people with allergies to fur and dander. Guide Dogs Victoria continue to breed Labradoodles today and Labradoodles are now often used around the world as Guide, Assistance, and Therapy Dogs, as well as being popular family dogs.

Appearance and temperament

The Labradoodle as a dog breed is still developing, and does not yet "breed true," i.e., puppies do not have consistently predictable characteristics. While many Labradoodles display desired traits, their appearance and behavioral characteristics remain, from an overall breed standpoint, unpredictable.

As such, Labradoodles' hair can be anywhere from wiry to soft, and may be straight, wavy, or curly. Some Labradoodles do shed, although the coat usually sheds less and has less dog odor than that of a Labrador Retriever. The color range includes white, cream, gold, apricot, red, brown and black, and most of the other colors seen in Poodles.

Like most Labrador Retrievers and Poodles, Labradoodles are generally friendly, energetic and good with families and children (although as with any dog the temperament may vary between individuals). Labradoodles also often display an affinity for water and the strong swimming ability present in both their parent breeds.

Like their parent breeds, both of which are amongst the world's most intelligent dog breeds, Labradooodles are very intelligent and quite trainable. Labradoodles can be taught to obey verbal or sign language commands, or both, and remain commonly used as guide dogs for disabled or handicapped persons around the world.

Types of Labradoodle

A 3 year old Labradoodle with a hair type coat and dominant labrador traits.

There is no universal consensus as to whether breeders should aim to have Labradoodles recognized as a breed. Some breeders prefer to restrict breeding to early generation dogs (i.e. bred from a Poodle and Labrador rather than from two Labradoodles) to maximise genetic diversity, in order to avoid the inherited health problems that have plagued some dog breeds.

Others are breeding Labradoodle to Labradoodle over successive generations, and trying to establish a new dog breed. These dogs are usually referred to as Multigenerational (abr. Multigen) or Australian Labradoodles. Australian Labradoodles also differ from early generation and Multigenerational Labradoodles in that they may also have other breeds in their ancestry. English and American Cocker Spaniel/Poodle crosses (ie Cockapoos), Two Irish Water Spaniels and Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers have variously been used in some Australian Labradoodle lines. The Curly Coated Retriever were used too, but these lines did not work out and they were discontinued.

Labradoodle coats are generally divided into 3 categories: Wool (with tight curls, and similar in appearance to that of a Poodle, but with a softer texture); Fleece (soft and free-flowing, with a kinked or wavy appearance); or Hair (which can be curly, straight or wavy, but is more similar in texture to a Labrador's coat). Labradoodles come in a wide variety of colours, including chocolate, cafe, parchment, cream, gold, apricot, red, black, silver, chalk, and parti colours. They also can be different sizes, depending on the size of poodle (i.e. toy, miniature or standard) used.

Although most Labradoodles are healthy, they can suffer from certain problems common to their parent breeds.

Both Poodles and Labrador Retrievers can suffer from hip dysplasia, and should have specialist radiography to check for this problem before breeding. The parent breeds can also suffer from a number of eye disorders, and an examination by a qualified veterinary eye specialist should be performed.

Over the past couple of years, a number of Multigenerational Labradoodles have also been found to suffer from Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), an inherited disease that causes blindness, which occurs in both Miniature Poodles and Cocker Spaniels. It is strongly recommended that Multigenerational Labradoodles be DNA tested for PRA before being bred.

A limited number of Labradoodles have also been found to suffer from Addison's Disease, also last but not least you may be looking at dog doors with simple steps for your own panel pet doors, an effortless way to allow for your pet access to the outdoors is with a pet door put in specially for them.

4 Day Diet Pointers on Losing Weight Safely

People who want to lose weight commonly, and first of all, think about reducing the amount of food they eat. This may be quite a solution but not exactly the best there is. In fact, depending on the amount you reduce in your food intake, it may even be dangerous to one's health. So how does one lose weight effectively and safely? Here are some points one should consider when trying to lose weight:

Beware of the Crash Diets

Most people think that trimming down the calories can alone shed off their unwanted excess. Probably this is because of the fad there is in advertising about low-calorie food products and beverages. What people don't know is that this could be dangerous because when they decrease their calorie intake way to below the required levels, the body begins to digest the fats. Sounds good but it doesn't actually. Burning fat requires a lot of energy. Since there is not much energy in the body to facilitate metabolism of fat, it will run at a very slow pace resulting to fatigue, illness and weak immune system.

Low-calorie diet is also compensated for by the body by burning muscle. People on this type of diet who revert back to their old eating habits end up gaining back some, if not all the weight they have shed off. This would consist mainly of fats. And since fats have more volume per mass than muscle, they end up having the same weight as before but more bulkier. In losing weight, one should keep in mind that they should lose excess body fats only.

However, one can try out eating small meals at more frequent intervals. This way the body will not think that it is being starved and will not store food as fat.

Eat Properly

One may have considered junking the crash diet option but he should also not forget to watch what he is eating. Variety must always be considered so that one may be able to get the necessary nutrients from his diet.It is also healthier to eat food which are roasted, steamed or broiled rather than fried. It is also important to include a lot of fiber in the diet. Frequent rehydration is also necessary.

Pump Up lean Muscle Mass

Muscles burn calories when they work; they even do so at rest. Unlike fats which just lie around, bulge around the pants and dangle beneath the sleeves, muscles burn calories all-day round. With this fact, one can start weight loss by increasing muscle mass. The more muscles, the less fat will be left. This is attainable starting with working out with resistance exercises.

Engaging in Aerobics

Aerobics are not only good for the heart by increasing cardio-vascular endurance. Aerobics also help in increasing lean muscle mass while simultaneously decreasing excess body fat. Aside from these, aerobics make the metebolic process more efficient and its rate high, even after a long while. Imagine burning fat efficiently while driving along the freeway or even while watching television.

Extra "Push"

Some people believe that smoking and caffeine can actually help in losing weight. This can perhaps be true; however, they do the body more harm than good because of their side-effects. For that extra "push", one can try out taking food supplements. Afterall, 95% of these products out in the market actually does good.

On Taking Diet Pills

Over-the-counter diet pills affect the amount of weight one loses as well as how long one keeps that amount of weight off. However, one must be wary of the side-effects of these diet pills. As such, one must faithfully follow the instructions provided for in the packaging. It is also prudent to consult the physician anyway before trying out these drugs and also to find out which type would be best for the individual.

Losing weight does not have to mean sacrifice and suffering. It actually means opening up to a more full and healthy life where one may not have to feel bad about himself having to look the way he does or not being able to do what he wants to do. Losing weight might entail a little adjustments plus the discomforts, but as the old saying goes, "no pain, no gain." Besides fat, what has one got to lose anyway?

It appears there's always a new dieting trend taking the world by storm. With so numerous diets laying claim to be the most in effect it can be tough to know what to select. For example, the Atkins diet is an good example of a dieting frenzy that a lot of people swear by, take a look at the top diets at Fat Loss Diets

Reebok Precision Trainer XT Heart Rate Monitor With Cchest Strap, Which Is The Best Heart Rate Monitor?

Do you like to exercise, to exert and push your body to its limits just for the fun of it? Like to know if the burn in your muscles and the pounding in your heart is actually accomplishing something? Looking to review heart rate monitor?

A heart rate monitor is a device that allows you to appraise his or her heart rate.

If you don't know exactly what a heart rate monitor does, read on. The monitor comes in two parts: a chest belt detects your heart rate and transmits it to a receiver on your wrist, which looks and you wear like a watch. It provides an exact expression of how hard you're exercising.

The chest strap has electrodes in contact with the skin to monitor the electrical voltages in the heart. When a heartbeat is detected a radio signal is transmitted, which the receiver uses to work out the current heart rate. This signal can be a simple radio pulse or a unique coded signal from the chest strap; the latter prevents one user's receiver from using signals from other nearby transmitters (known as cross-talk interference).

Unsure about which Heart Rate Monitor you need? This can be a difficult choice to make with so many available. The most popular being Polar, Timex, Nike, Gamin, Casio, Speedo, Cardio and Suunto to mention but a few.

Bob Greene Best Life Diet Verses The “Quick Weight Loss Diet” Trend Disadvantage

If you wear a size 14 and you blow a bundle on designer size 8 dresses as motivation, you will probably end up feeling guilty, frustrated, and angry if you are not slinking around in it a month later.

In reality, you will do much better setting smaller, achievable targets for yourself. If you must try the new-clothes strategy, go down a size at a time, and do not buy anything you have to take out a second mortgage to pay for.

Because, if you continue to remorse on losing weight fast, you will end up incorporating fad diets or those that offer quick weight loss.

For most people who are not aware of this fact, there are no such things as quick weight loss diets and there is no nippy weight loss for people who want to be slimmer than what their body can provide.

The problem with most people is that they tend to opt for nippy fixes wherein fact these things are not effective at all.

What Does Not Work

Today, there are plenty of weight-loss strategies that are guaranteed to backfire. This is because these nippy fixes instilled on certain diet plans are, in reality, not efficient because it does not employ the right principle and the right attitude in losing weight.

These quick weight loss diet plans are known as fad diets because that is exactly what they are, just a fad. In time, when fashion is over and popularity wanes down, people will realize that the diet they have depended on is not reliable at all.

To know more about these fad diets that are selling like hotcakes in the market today, here is a list of some telltale signs that would tell you not to try it even once.

Here they are:

1. Skipping meals

Does your diet plan require you to skip meals? If it does, then, it is a fad diet.

Abstain from food completely is not a healthy habit. It may even cause some serious complications or problems especially for people who are sick with diabetes.

Skipping meals will only cause a hypoglycemia, or the condition wherein your blood sugar is really low, and will probably only be effective in making you eat twice as much at the next meal.

2. Dieting without exercise, or vice versa

Exercise is crucial to the human body. It is important in the proper blood circulation and other activities of the human body system.

Therefore, diet plans that do not require you to exercise are nuisances. People are born to move.

But then again, exercise alone is not sufficient. Hence, it would be better if diet and exercise will go hand-in-hand.

3. Continuous dawdling

There is no better time to start losing weight. If you want to really lose those excess fats, you have to lose weight now.

Delaying tactics will not get you anywhere and will only make the problem worse. So, if your diet plan suggests a certain timeframe for you start losing weight, chances are, you are following the trend of fad diets.

Boiled down, it is best to rely more on the way you feel than the tale of the tape. This means that if the weighing scale tells you that you are losing weight even if it is slower than you would like, but you are feeling energetic and positive about your weight-loss efforts, then, you are just doing fine.

The Answer To Our Economic Times

North Carolina’s unemployment rate is highest in 25 years

From Staff Reports
Published: December 19, 2008

North Carolina’s unemployment rate increased to 7.9 percent in November, according to statistics released today by the Employment Security Commission. The unemployment rate is the highest since October 1983.

North Carolina’s unemployment rate has climbed steadily since December 2007, when the rate was 4.7 percent. Rockingham County’s unemployment rate has remained slightly higher than the state unemployment rate. In October, Rockingham County’s rate was 8.6 percent. The county unemployment rates for the month of November will be released on Jan. 6.

“Global and economic challenges have had an impact on North Carolina,” said ESC Chairman Harry E. Payne Jr. “Many employers are faced with layoffs or cutting back hours. Several job hours, including manufacturing and professional and business services, have been affected by the national business climate. During the last year, employment in these sectors alone is down by 57,600.”

Rockingham County has taken a big hit in manufacturing during the past year. Hanesbrands, Inc. in Eden announced plans to close its yarn and knit-fabric textile plants. The yarn plant will close at the end of the year and the adjacent knit-fabric plant will close in February 2009. The plant closures will leave 720 people out of work. In November, General Tobacco Company announced it would cut 31 jobs from its Mayodan plant. Other manufacturing companies have announced cut-backs and layoffs.
