Pet Society - Easy Mode 27 Nov

0

Category: , , ,

DIG ONE TREASURE, SEND 5 FAILED DIGS, DIG YOUR NEXT TREASURE. This does bring down the probability of getting suspended but yes, still not 100% suspension free. So use your secondary account to dig if you do not like to be suspended for 24 hours. (and yes, shovels will be used for failed digs to prevent the suspension hammer)

Basically, when you enter a digging land, those plots that has been dug = treasures. Do NOT keep clicking on such plots as we want to simulate digging failure. So you can still utilize all the free cash digs. Just remember to go to the coins digging area and send some failed digs.


Both Zoey and I are glad that suspension rates are extremely low now with our current method of digging. It definitely does help when you do a lot of other stuff in between digs and also send some failed digs.


Steps

1. Download the files above.
2. Open Fiddler.
3. Go to Autoresponder and ensure both 'Enable Automatic.. ' and 'Permit pass...' are ticked
4. Click ADD.
5. A 'String To Match' will appear. change it to
REGEX:(?insx)http://d2syub29v5lge2.cloudfront.net/game/pets/swf/.*/pets.swf
6. Click on the ▼ button beside the Save and select 'Browse a file'.
7. Browse to the files that you have downloaded above and select the file you just downloaded from me 'pets2135.5-ezdig.swf' / ezlevel.swf
8. Click SAVE.
9. Now, just clear cache and load Pet Society.
10. Now just enter digging land and have fun...

0

Category: , , , , , ,



IMPORTANT: First of all there is NO NEED AT ALL to update to new iOS 4.2. Only iPad owners will benefit out of 4.2 firmware. All others i-device users will have very minor changes. So it is advised to stay on 4.1 Firmware.

This video is on Jailbreaking your iPhone 3g, 3gS, iPhone 4, iPad & iPod Touch 2nd, 3rd, 4th generation. Redsnow 0.9.6 used in this video will act as a Tethered Jailbreak for all new devices namely iPhone 4, iPhone 3gS (New Bootrom), iPod Touch 2nd gen (MC Model), iPod Touch 3rd & 4th generations respectively.Tethered meaning whenever you reboot your devices you will have to run Redsnow again choosing option in Redsnow that says "Just boot tethered right now". Owners of iPhone 3g and iPhone 3gS (Old Bootrom) and iPod Touch 2nd gen (Non- MC Model) will have an Untethered Jailbreak.

iTunes 10.1 is required to work with new iOS 4.2 firmware. Download iTunes 10.1 for Mac and Windows from http://www.iTunes.com

Download Redsn0w 0.9.6 for Windows here: http://alturl.com/jwqer
Download Redsn0w 0.9.6 for Mac here: http://alturl.com/jwqer

Download iOS 4.2 (also named as 4.2.1) from here:

iPhone 3g = http://alturl.com/jwqer
iPHone 3gS = http://alturl.com/jwqer
iPHone 4 = http://alturl.com/jwqer
iPod Touch 2nd gen = http://alturl.com/jwqer
iPod Touch 3rd gen = http://alturl.com/jwqer
iPod Touch 4th gen = http://alturl.com/jwqer
iPad 4.2 Firmware = http://alturl.com/jwqer

TROUBLESHOOTING:

a) Before opening Redsnow, Right Click on it and hit Properties. Then go to 'Compatibility' tab. Here Check mark 2 things. One will be on top that says 'Run this program in Compatibility mode for' (Choose Windows 98/ Windows ME from drop down menu) and second will be at the bottom that says 'Run this program as administrator'. Press Apply then Ok. Done. Now run Redsnow.

b) If while running Redsnow, it gets stuck on uploading Ramdisk or waiting for reboot, then hold home and Power buttons together on your iPHone or iPOd Touch for few seconds till it shuts off. Don't hold buttons too long that it turns back on again. Now when it is completely off then run Redsnow again.

c) If Redsnow gets stuck during Jailbreaking Process then simply reboot your Computer. Now run Redsnow after rebooting computer. IT will run smooth.

d) Also while running Redsnow, when it is time to hold buttons- at the end keep holding home button as long as 30 seconds till jailbreak data picture appears on iPhone/iPod screen. Done.


Stay tuned for UNLOCK on iOS 4.1 - 4.2 firmware. Coming soon...

Seafight - Pearls You Need To Be Full Pearl

1

Category: , , , ,

[QUOTE=jdmanderson;1479903]Don't forget the cost of levelling up your cannons as well.[/QUOTE]

Update: For missed out info.
A. Without Discount
1. 205 event cannons x 7500 pearls = 1,537,500 pearls
2. 50 skill points = 34673 crystals = 10,679,284 pearls
3. 205 event cannons need 6765 crystals x 303 = 2,049,795 pearls
4. Elite Ship = 64,000 pearls
5. 1st deck to 8th deck = 627,000 pearls
6. Cook + Doctor + Lookout + Gunner + Ship's Pilot, Captain, Mate and TH = 160,750 pearls (basic needs)
7. About the Ship Castle it will depend on what you will buy cos some of the extras are expensive some are cheap. My roughly estimate on how much pearls you need to get full on that side maybe 4,000,000 pearls.
TOTAL = 19,054,393 pearls

B. With Rebate and Premium (No Guild Island) newbie doesnt know what guild island is.
Rebate 25% + Premium 5% off = 30% discount
TOTAL = 13,338,076 pearls

Recommendation: Buy worth $2000 pearls when Mega Happy Hour appears!
Total = 19,800,000 pearls
You can buy a lot from it and you can't even use all that pearls. Why? Because of the so called "Events"

Seafight - New shipyard features ship castles Q & A

0

Category: , , ,

Do ship extras have to be obtained in a certain order?
No, extras can be bought as you like. But if ye wish to level up an extra, it will have to be done in order, meaning ye cannot automatically upgrade an extra from level 2 to level 4.


How does the centerboard differ from the sternpost?
The centerboard increases yer ship’s basic speed by a certain number of knots.
Example: If yer ship’s top speed is 30 knots and yer ship is loaded with cargo, then yer ship will have a basic speed of 25 knots. If ye use the level 2 centerboard, it will increase yer ship's basic speed to 28 knots.You don’t increase your maximum speed with this extra.

The sternpost increases yer ship’s top speed.
Example: If yer ship’s top speed is 30 knots and ye use the level 5 sternpost, it will increase the top speed by 10%, allowing yer ship to sail at 33 knots (3 knots faster).


Can I downgrade slots/extras which have already been upgraded?
No, this process is irreversible.


Must extras be activated?
No. Extras will activate as soon as they are put into slots.


Will my crew receive more gold for boarding another ship if I use the gold chest?
Ye usually only receive 10% of an enemy ship's gold reserves when yer crew boards another ship, but with the gold chest, ye will get more. If ye have a level 2 gold chest, ye will take 12% of the enemy's ships gold reserves.


Will extras already installed in slots take extra time when replaced?
There is no time range you have to wait for a change. You can replace your extras immediately.

With ship castles, ye can buy different ship extras and enhance the values and features of yer ship. Just put the extras in slots on yer ship castles.


Ship castles
Ship castles were originally designed so archers could shoot down on enemy ships from up high. Today they are an integral part of a ship’s defense. There are three types of ship castles: the forecastle, topcastle and aftcastle. Each ship castle has two slots which can be upgraded to level 5 and can hold different extras. One level 1 slot has already been unlocked for ye to use.


Extras
For every ship castle, there are six different extras which can be upgraded consecutively up to level 5. The extra must have at least the same level as the slot where it is to be installed. Only one extra can be used per slot.

Example: Ye have a level 3 slot.
Ye must have a level 3 extra or lower to use it in this level 3 slot.
If ye have a level 4 extra, ye must upgrade yer level 3 slot to a level 4 slot so ye can use the level 4 extra there.

Extras already installed in slots can be replaced by other extras. There is no time range you have to wait for a change. You can replace your extras immediately.

Lyrics:

Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but can't complete
Listen to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release

Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own all 'cause you won't
Listen

Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried to say what's on mind
You should have known

Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own

You should have listened, there is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died so long ago
Oh, I'm screaming out and my dreams'll be heard
They will not be pushed aside on words
Into your own all 'cause you won't
Listen

Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried to say what's on mind
You should have known

Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own

I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't, if you won't

Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but I will complete

Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own, my own

Best 7 Fat - Blaster

0

Category: , , , , ,

Try any one of these, and you'll boost your metabolism for up to a whole day afterward. One small workout, one giant payoff.

1. Inline skating
Burns 425 calories in 30 minutes

Surprised? While skating might be so much fun you forget you're actually working out, it's also numero uno on our list when it comes to blasting fat and calories.

The big burn stems from the side-to-side movement of your thigh and butt muscles (demanding more from your body than the straightforward motion of our number-two activity -- running). And your core gets involved in a big way to keep you balanced.

What's more, you get all these benefits without putting too much stress on your knees and other joints. Skate at a strong, steady pace. Don't forget your helmet, wrist guards, and knee and elbow pads.

Boost the burn: Alternate one minute of hard skating with one minute of medium-paced strokes.

2. Running
Burns 374 calories in 30 minutes

The typical runner's shape is sleek and lean, and there's a reason for that: The major running muscles -- legs, butt, core -- happen to be the biggest calorie-and-fat-burning muscles in your body.

To get the most out of each stride, swing your arms close to your body, don't lean forward, and keep your feet low to the ground. To lessen impact, land on the middle of your foot, then roll through to your toes.

Boost the burn: Alternate fast and slow intervals, or take to the hills.

3. Jumping rope
Burns 340 calories in 30 minutes

You knew this workout had to be high on the list. After all, it's one of pro boxers' favorite ways to train.

To get the most from each jump, use a rope with handles that reach to just under your armpits when you stand on the middle of it, and follow these top-form tips: Jump with your feet slightly apart and body upright, and keep your jumps low to the ground. Don't have a rope? You'll get the same benefits by doing the movements rope-free.

Boost the burn: Frequently switch up your speed (slow, fast) and style (jumping with one foot, then two feet), or jump rope while you jog.

4. Hula hooping
Burns 300 calories in 30 minutes

There's a reason Marisa Tomei and Beyoncé hoop to keep their bodies beautiful -- it's a major fat-and-calorie torcher. To do it yourself, grab an adult-sized hoop (they're larger and heavier than kids' hoops, making them easier to spin); you'll know you have the right size if it reaches your chest when you stand it up in front of you.

No fancy moves required, either. Simply keep it going around your waist. To start, stand with one foot in front of the other and shift your weight back and forth (versus around in a circle). And don't worry if you're less than perfect at first; you'll still knock off major calories, plus get better every time you spin.

Boost the burn: Get how-tos for advanced moves and a fun workout at Health.com/hula-hoop.

5. Tennis
Burns 272 calories in 30 minutes

Don't think you need to round up a partner or trek all the way to a court to break a super sweat with racket in hand. (Though if you have a pal and a nearby net, you'll burn the same calories.) Simply find a flat area near a wall or garage door that you can hit the ball against.

Alternate forehand and backhand shots -- then see how many you can do in a row without goofing. Stand 10 to 25 feet away, which will force you to hit harder. Even practicing your serve will get your body in burn mode, because you'll have to run and bend to pick up your missed balls.

Boost the burn: Try to hit the ball consistently for 50 or 100 strokes. "Having a goal will make you work harder to reach it," Braganza says.

6. Dancing
Burns 221 calories in 30 minutes

This may not be the biggest calorie-burner in the bunch, but it's still an excellent -- and fun! -- metabolism booster. (Just look at Kelly Osbourne, who jump-started her amazing 42-pound loss on Dancing with the Stars.)

The key is to keep the tempo high, choosing songs with fast rhythms like Latin or Bollywood, and don't rest between songs.

Try Braganza's favorite trick: Download a workout's worth of your favorite tunes. Begin with an upbeat inspirational song think "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga, then move on to songs with increasingly faster tempos. Slow the beat toward the end to cool down.

Boost the burn: Use your arms! Raise them in the air and move them to the beat.

7. Walking vigorously
Burns 170 calories in 30 minutes

That's right, walking actually made our list. Full disclosure, though: A leisurely stroll with a friend won't cut it. You should be walking briskly enough that it's difficult to keep up a steady conversation.

To get the most from your biggest calorie-burning muscles -- legs, butt, and core -- take short, quick steps, keep your torso upright, and pump your arms back and forth (not side to side) in time with your stride. With each step, land on your heel and roll through to your toes.

Boost the burn: Alternate two minutes of brisk strides with one minute of as-fast-as-you-can-go walking (or jogging).

Jobs Are Coming Back For 20 Industries

0

Category: , , , ,

Admin and support. It might be just one hire here and another there, but companies are finally starting to rebuild their office staffs. As corporate bosses gain more confidence in the recovery, they'll shift from temporary hires to more full-time staffers.

Jobs gained in 2010: 286,000

Change since 2007: 817,000 jobs lost


Employment services. The people who help others get jobs are finding more work themselves, a good sign that overall hiring is picking up for real. Demand for temporary workers usually comes first, followed by more interest in permanent full-timers.

Jobs gained in 2010: 262,000

Change since 2007: 591,000 jobs lost

Healthcare. There was barely a recession in healthcare--employment has been rising consistently in almost every specialty. This is one of the few fields in which there are more jobs today than before the recession began. A lot more, in fact.

Jobs gained in 2010: 204,000

Change since 2007: 738,000 jobs gained

Restaurants. Boy did we miss those restaurant fries. After a sharp cutback in 2009, Americans have started eating out again. Some luxury joints are still struggling, but family restaurants that offer good value are starting to get busy.

Jobs gained in 2010: 143,000

Change since 2007: 150,000 jobs lost


Retail. Consumers are still feeling thrifty, mainly because debt levels remain too high. But people are starting to spend again, and many retail outlets are hiring. The strongest gains are at electronics and appliance stores. Department stores, discounters, and clothing retailers are hiring, too.

Jobs gained in 2010: 128,000

Change since 2007: 1.1 million jobs lost

Mining. The growing demand by China and India for copper, aluminum, iron, and a variety of other minerals is helping boost the mining industry worldwide. So is a spike in the price of gold and silver. And domestic demand for coal is bouncing back as the economy recovers.

Jobs gained in 2010: 79,000

Change since 2007: 28,000 jobs gained

Religious and nonprofit groups. Donations dipped during the recession, but religious, nonprofit, social, and business organizations have fared okay lately as endowments linked to the stock market have recovered and other sources of funding have stabilized. Clergy--a somewhat recessionproof calling--represent the single largest profession within this group.

Jobs gained in 2010: 56,000

Change since 2007: 9,000 jobs gained


Salespeople and customer-service reps. What companies need most right now is new business, and that takes good salespeople. Plus, during the recession, some companies cut too deeply into the ranks of those who take care of customers. They're beginning to rectify that now.

Jobs gained in 2010: 36,000

Change since 2007: 437,000 jobs lost

Computer systems design. A lot of lower-end IT work has been outsourced to India, but companies still need talented systems designers and other well-trained technicians to develop customized software, keep up with new technology, and connect far-flung systems. This is likely to be one of the fastest-growing job markets over the next several years.

Jobs gained in 2010: 43,000

Change since 2007: 52,000 jobs gained

Transit and ground transportation. Bus drivers have enviable job security. As Americans have cut back on driving to save money, more people have turned to public transportation. The number of bus, subway, and other transit jobs is up overall since the recession began.

Jobs gained in 2010: 20,000

Change since 2007: 17,000 jobs gained

Hotels. Business travel is picking up after a sharp drop, and some consumers are taking vacations again, too. Budget and value properties are hiring the most.

Jobs gained in 2010: 27,000

Change since 2007: 124,000 jobs lost


Federal government. State and local governments have been cutting deeply, but federal jobs are safe--for now. Newly empowered Republicans who want to cut government could change that, however.

Jobs gained in 2010: 19,000

Change since 2007: 88,000 jobs gained

Management. Big companies cut thousands of management jobs when the recession hit--and some of them went too far. So they're slowly starting to rehire. With some foreign economies growing faster than ours, multinational companies are looking for managers willing to travel and perhaps even relocate overseas.

Jobs gained in 2010: 16,000

Change since 2007: 63,000 jobs lost

Performing arts and recreation. As Americans have cut back on lavish travel and long vacations, they've spent more time and money exploring local parks and attractions and even going to sporting events. Plus, people who have been scrimping and saving just need a night out every now and then.

Jobs gained in 2010: 24,000

Change since 2007: 96,000 jobs lost


Warehousing. It's good news for the overall economy when activity at warehouses, refrigeration facilities, and other storage areas picks up, which it has. The goods that pass through those places end up at business and retail outlets, boosting jobs elsewhere.

Jobs gained in 2010: 12,000

Change since 2007: 30,000 jobs lost

Oil and gas extraction. The energy sector dipped during the recession, as consumers and businesses cut back on use. But global demand for energy remains strong, and natural gas in particular looks like a booming industry. Jobs in this field tend to be high-paying, with a need for specialists like petroleum engineers, geologists, and hydrologists.

Jobs gained in 2010: 11,000

Change since 2007: 17,000 jobs gained

Rail transportation. Like warehousing, the railroad industry is a good gauge of which direction the overall economy is headed, since much of what we buy gets shipped by rail at some point. The train seems to be picking up steam.

Jobs gained in 2010: 9,000

Change since 2007: 9,000 jobs lost

Waste management. The trash needs to go out no matter what's happening in the economy. And as the economy recovers, we seem to be producing more of it.

Jobs gained in 2010: 8,000

Change since 2007: 3,000 jobs lost


Web portals and Internet publishing. It's killing other industries, but the Internet itself is still a booming industry that's creating jobs. The overall number of jobs at search engines like Google, portals like Yahoo, and a variety of new and growing online outfits has risen consistently over the last three years.

Jobs gained in 2010: 6,000

Change since 2007: 11,000 jobs gained

Management and technical consulting. A lot of laid-off managers and other professionals have become self-employed consultants--a trend that's likely to continue. Many companies want to hire seasoned people on a temporary or project basis, instead of bringing them on full-time. Consultants able to manage several clients at once can earn more than they did with a single employer.

5 Easy Tips to Cure Acne Naturally

0

Category: , , , , ,

Here are five tips to naturally cure acne with simple remedies that will not bring side effects and other complications to your skin:

• The body is made up of mostly water. Hence, it is a good idea to consume sufficient amounts of water every day. This will help retain moisture in the skin. A well-hydrated skin will prevent acne as it will control oil production.

• In relation to the first tip, it is advised to use moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated. Use the one enriched with vitamin E. Vitamin E will work well in keeping the skin healthy and glowing and boosting the defenses of the skin. Thus, it can fight against bacteria which can cause acne breakouts.

• You also need to reduce using heavy makeup. Opt for noncomedogenic cosmetics to prevent clogging the pores. Preferably, only use certified 100% natural products.

• The fourth tip is to keep the mind free from stress. When under stress, the brain is working hard and one of the consequences is oil overproduction. This ultimately leads to acne breakouts too.

• In connection to reducing stress, you can also keep your skin good looking with regular yoga to de-stress the mind.

These tips are easy to implement but they surely work. Cure your acne today and have the confidence with your beautiful skin.

Want To Get Rid Of Your Pimples Naturally?

Category: , , , , , ,

It is commonly held belief that lifestyle and diet are not factors in the cause, and treatment of acne. On the contrary, clinically and independent research has shown that lifestyle and diet are indeed major factors for those who suffer from acne. Most over the counter treatment medicines offer no help in identifying acne's root causes, and acne medications can have some unpleasant side-effects for long use. Discover how you can take steps to naturally eliminate this stubborn affliction.

Most processed "western" foods are quite high in simple sweet content. A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that while a western diet might be convenient and tasty, it can also have a negative effect and impact on your complexion. Foods that are high in simple sweet or sugar content (white flour for instance), boost the body's production of insulin, which promotes inflammation of the skin as well as over production of skin cels and oil in pores that lead to bacterial infection on the skin resulting in acne formation.

Thus it is very crucial to realize the importance of a low-glycemic diet for improving acne problem and symptoms. You will also be contributing to better health for your body, and a sense of well being by reducing, or eliminating your intake of processed foods, particularly those high in simple sugars. Cow's milk has also been shown to aggravate acne outbreaks, and should be avoided. While cow's milk does have some health benefits, you can get those same benefits through the use of dietary supplements such as vitamin A, vitamin D, and Calcium.

Growth hormone is used in the production of many of the foods we eat. Studies have shown conclusively that growth hormone is a major contributing factor in acne formation, and if at all possible, you should buy hormone free meats, poultry, and vegetables. By focusing on whole foods such as leafy green vegetables, cold water fish, and lean poultry, you will go a long way toward a clear skin complexion. It is also quite helpful to drink a glass of quality water every two or three waking hours to improve detoxification and overall skin health. Stress is also a major player in both bringing on an outbreak, and worsening the severity of an existing outbreak. When you are stressed out your body produces a stress hormone called cortisol, which can result in further hormonal changes that will worsen acne symptoms. Stress reducing activities such as exercise, prayer, and meditation can be of tremendous value for both your complexion, and your over all well being.

Cashium are GONE!

Category: , , , , , ,

Today i opened my Cashium account to browse my ads and i was surprised what i see.
A message from the Admin himself (The Owner) that is asking for a consideration about the BIG Problem he and all of Cashium clickers are going into. The message is this
"We have a bigger problem, PayPal has frozen whole balance of Cashium and after a phone call I was told they would not give it back before 90 days. Yes, that's not fair but I could not persuade them. When I told the agent 'this means the end of our business' all she told me is 'sorry'. We have never had any suspicious activity and we have made all refunds and we have always kept enough balance for possible refunds. I can hear 'scam' exclamations, trust me I have worked for Cashium round the clock and always regarded members benefecations, at this point everything has turned into a nightmare that I can not handle. Even though I'll be called a scammer, I'm set at ease since I have strained every nerve. I'm asking members who deposited so far to open disputes. Honestly my biggest mistake was using PayPal service. What a shame, I have always been told they would be happy to use their service.

What is next?
In my opinion a new management would be beneficial for both members and me. I'll make my best to protect the investor rights."

The question is, is this true or just an alibi of his to cover for his agenda or running away all of the money invested on his website (cashium). But for me i am very optimistic that someday cashium will be good as the past days before this problem occurs. Stay tuned guys i'll post an update regarding cashium if he could stand this out.

Pacquiao won his 8th title against Margarito

Category: , , ,

Pacquiao won a unanimous one-sided decision in a blowout from the opening seconds of the fight to capture the World Boxing Council super welterweight title before 41,734 in-awe fans at Cowboys Stadium.

Pacquiao’s title belt, coming against an opponent who had a 17-pound weight advantage when the bell rang, 165-148, was the eighth in his illustrious career. Pacquiao has won world titles at 112, 122, 126, 130, 135, 140, 147 and now 154 pounds.

Judges Jurgen Langos had it 120-109, Glen Crocker had it 118-110 and Oren Schellenberger had it 119-109 for Pacquiao. Yahoo! Sports scored it 120-107 for Pacquiao, giving Pacquiao a 10-8 edge in the 10th round when he dominated tremendously.

Margarito, fighting for the first time in the U.S. since Jan. 24, 2009, when he was caught with an illegal knuckle pad in his gloves before a loss to Shane Mosley, was never in the fight. Pacquiao’s speed was blinding and was the difference in the fight.

Readbud.com real review and not bias!

0

Category: , , ,

Ok lets make the story short and straight!
Yesterday i earned my $50.06 for doing readbud reading and rating and i cashout it as fast as i could cause im so excited. But i notice it says that i need to wait for 30 days (1 month) before i can get my money i earned. But i check my account history and didn't see my history of cashing out my payment...

So for the record im not the same people who posted some articles on their blog and on some forums saying they saw a payment proof on a paypal account. The question is this is the owner of the articles or post on the forum credible?? Notice on some forum a random human being has a post of "1" defending and saying that readbud is not a scam and posted a payment proof. Another question is this, Does the payment proof a real payment proof or fabricated payment proof "on a real paypal account" cause i can make a "fake" payment proof using "javascript" on a browser and change letters or numbers of a page.

I searched the whole world wide web to seek for a real payment proof but it seems im looking for a ghost.. If you want to really know if readbud is legit wait for 1 month or so and i will post another article regarding "a real payment proof" if they/he/she paid me for what i earned.
I hope you follow and read my other post here and i will keep you updated what's going on on readbud.

Autoship Myth 3

0

Category: , , , ,

Most health and wellness companies offer at least one, "Health Pack," which they've stocked with items they feel that most people would always want to purchase every month. Again, these packages may also be designed to qualify the representative for a particular level in the company's compensation plan.

The problem with this approach is that, especially if it is a pack that contains many varied products, it is highly unlikely that you will consume all of its contents equally over the entire month. So, at the end of the month it is very possible that you'll end up with too much, or too little, of some of the products included in any given package.

If you just keep ordering that same package then before long you'll end up with a whole surplus of some items, and perhaps run short on others. That's what I mean by a "slow" month. Slow months for me are those months where the previous months' AutoShips have caused me to be overstocked on certain items. If I end up getting overstocked on many if not most items, then I may only spend as little as $100 to $150 that month buying just the few items that I'm running out of. On the other hand, if it is a month during which I've almost run out of everything, or soon will be, then I can easily spend as much as $400 to $600 purchasing all of the health and nutritional products that I might typically buy in any given month.

Do I continue to keep receiving products on AutoShip every month even when I already have too many, or don't need them? Absolutely not! If I see that I'm getting too stocked up on certain items then I'll remove those items from my AutoShip order for that month. Some companies let you put AutoShip on "pause" and then resume it again when you are ready for exactly this reason. However, if no such options are provided I am not at all shy about simply canceling my AutoShip order for a particular month altogether. Then, when I see that I'm going to be running low on those items, I'll go back on AutoShip.

AUTO SHIP DEADLINES

Especially if you are new to receiving products on AutoShip, be sure to familiarize yourself with your company's policy for submitting changes or cancellations to your order. Some companies will allow you to literally change your order almost at the last minute. More commonly, however, they will have a policy that states that you must do so well prior to the actual AutoShip date, sometimes by as much as 10 days in advance! If your company has such a policy and you wait until after the deadline you may be unable to stop your AutoShip for that month, even if you don't need any more of the product!


To summarize:

1. Emphasize the value of your products and services so that both you and your customers are purchasing because they need and want your products, and not just to meet some compensation plan requirement. Ask yourself, "if I weren't personally involved in this company, would I still be buying this product?"

Almost all of the products and services that I mentioned above that I buy, sometimes to the tune of as much as $400 to $600 a month, are for my personal consumption only and not at all because I'm trying to qualify for a spot somewhere in a company's compensation plan. In fact, in most cases, I do not push the opportunity at all, and in most have never signed up even a single rep. (Though I'm a huge fan of health and wellness and practice it daily, it just so happens that my primary focus is on building organizations outside of the strictly heath and wellness area.). So, I can definitely answer with a resounding, "yes," the question, "would I buy these products anyway even if no opportunity were involved."

If you can answer, "yes," to that question and you happen to be in the health and wellness area, awesome! You'll be much better off and build a stronger organization and customer base as a result.

2. Do not buy and certainly do not continue to receive on monthly AutoShip anything that you do not really want or need. Buy products because you actually intend to use them, and not just to qualify for a certain level of compensation.

3. Monitor your AutoShips and your usage of the products and be ready to adjust as needed, ordering more, or less, whenever necessary.

4. Finally, remember that YOU ultimately are in control and are the one who determines what you need, and in what quantity, and when. So, if you are simply getting too stocked up on certain items, or you simply don't need them during a certain month, don't be shy about canceling your AutoShip order if your company doesn't give you more flexible options. You can always resume your AutoShip order when you are ready.


And, lastly, let me point out that, all things considered, as long as you actually need and want whatever products you are buying, then by all means DO take advantage of any specials, bonuses, and/or compensation plan benefits that you will enjoy by ordering on AutoShip. In other words, if your company offers advantages to placing your order on AutoShip, as opposed to placing a "regular" order, there is nothing wrong with that. Very few companies have a policy that states that you won't get those same advantages just because you don't stay on AutoShip every single month. If you cancel your AutoShip this month for instance, naturally you probably won't enjoy for that month any of the perks that are offered for being on AutoShip. However, when you DO decide to order again, if you place your order back on AutoShip, you'll probably enjoy the same benefits as if you had been on AutoShip the entire time.

Some people like to shop at sales just because items are on sale. Hence the old saying, "no sale is a good sale if you don't need the item that's on sale!" Likewise, AutoShip does have it's place, but no benefit is likely to worth it if you are spending money each month buying products on AutoShip that you don't really need or want.

Autoship Myth 2

Category: , , ,

So, while it is possible to retain some customers longer simply because it's easy for them to signup for AutoShip but not so easy to cancel, again, do you really want your customer to feel like he or she is being held hostage?

Ideally, you should have high quality products and services that are well understood and in demand by your customers. Customers should continue ordering because they WANT or NEED your product or service, and not simply because it's on AutoShip.

In the majority of cases, companies, and their representatives, want people on AutoShip for ONE reason and one reason only, to attempt to extract ongoing consistent revenue from that customer. At least from the company's standpoint, that's the real bottom line. And, from both the company's standpoint and that of the representative, that AutoShip may very well be tied to that representative achieving or maintaining a certain compensation level, often with names like Silver, Bronze, Gold, Platinum, Executive, etc. The more money you spend each month (especially on AutoShip) the more money you qualify for in the compensation plan. Often this results in inflated and/or artificial consumption. In other words, people either buying things they don't really need, and/or buying more than they really need.

Rule #1 For Keeping AutoShip Under Control: For your own long term financial success and in the best interests of your customers, is to make sure that you buy only what you need! If you need a particular product or service delivered every month and in that quantity, great. If not, don't agree to have it continue to be auto-shipped to you.

Rule #2 is to remember that, whether as a representative or a customer, YOU are the ultimate consumer and purchaser. It's your money! Therefore, it should be up to you as to when and how much of it you spend. Don't be intimidated by your company or upline into buying more than you need, or fall into the trap of trying to make your representatives and customers to do the same (buy more than they need on AutoShip).

In the short run you may make less money than if your numbers are artificially inflated by people buying more on AutoShip than they really want to. But, in the long run, you'll have a stronger customer and rep base, and your representatives and customers will respect you far more for keeping their best interests in mind by encouraging them to buy your products and services because they want and need them, and in the quantities they need them in.

At the very beginning of this article "Customer Convenience" was mentioned as one of the reasons that companies claim to offer AutoShip.

However, after decades of experience ordering a multitude of products worth tens of thousands of dollars, and watching others do the same, I'm absolutely convinced that AutoShip can be just as much an inconvenience as it is a convenience.

And please let me be quick to point out that, yes, I absolutely DO have products and services that to this very day are delivered to me each and every month on AutoShip. I'll go even further by sharing with you that in just one category, nutritional products, I order as much as $400 to $600 PER MONTH worth of those kinds of products.

HOWEVER, in a "slow" month I might order as little as $100 to $150 worth of product. So, you might be wondering, why the difference, and what do I mean by a "slow" month?

Just one example: Health Packs (or Paks). Keep in mind that this is most commonly applicable to health and nutritional products, but it can apply to many other products and services as well.

AutoShip Myth 1

0

Category: , , ,

AutoShip, or the automatic delivery of products or services on a monthly basis primarily serves two functions: 1) To create consistent consumption and repeat purchases of that product or service by the consumer; 2) Customer convenience, by eliminating the need for the customer to have to repeatedly reorder the same products or services over and over again.

Unfortunately, the benefits of AutoShip for either of the above purposes are vastly overrated. It is true that network marketing companies would love to see their customers continue to come back month after month to make repeat purchases. However, in reality, it simply doesn't work that way. Unless you have a product or service that by nature is generally delivered via ongoing subscription, i.e., newspapers and magazines, utilities (including communications and Internet), insurance, loans, financial services, etc., just getting the customer to agree to go on AutoShip is no guarantee that they won't cancel it.

Many companies and their representatives like to rely on the fact that a certain percentage of customers will indeed stay on AutoShip for extended periods for no other reason than habit, and/or because they simply don't know how to cancel it. Is that really the position that you want your customers to be in, though? People who are buying your product simply because they forgot or don't know how to cancel the recurring AutoShip order?

Most friends and associates tend to view me as a well organized person. And certainly I'm not one to waste money. Yet, despite that, I will admit that in any given year it is not uncommon for me to spend anywhere from several hundred to over one thousand dollars on products and services that I simply didn't have time (or didn't know how) to cancel. It is not by accident that many companies make it easy to sign up for the automatic delivery of their products or services, but provide no easy way to cancel.

In the case of one MLM related service that I decided to try out, not only was there no way to cancel online, but their Contact form didn't work, so there was, seemingly, no way to send them an email either! At first, they provided only a Contact form and no email address. When eventually I found an email address and sent an email asking them to cancel my account there was no reply! Finally I found a phone number and called them, and even then they often had problems with their voicemail box being full or not taking messages, etc.

Erano G. Manalo Avenue Rename for Commonwealth Avenue

0

Category: , , ,

Several lawmakers today filed a bill seeking to rename the Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City as Erano G. Manalo Avenue in recognition of the spiritual contribution of the late religious leader of the Iglesia Ni Cristo.

Introduced by Reps. Candido P. Pancrudo, Jr. (1st District, Bukidnon), Diosdado "Dato" M. Arroyo (1st District, Camarines Sur), Pedro P. Romualdo (Lone District, Camiguin), Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano (2nd District, Misamis Oriental), Jose S. Aquino II (1st District, Agusan del Norte), Antonio F. Lagdameo, Jr. (2nd District, Davao del Norte) and Rommel C. Amatong (2nd District, Compostela Valley), House Bill 6785 sought to convey Ka Erdy's idea of Filipino ingenuity by sculpturing a religion that originated in the Philippines, which has expanded around the world.

The lawmakers said the late Erano G. Manalo or "Ka Erdy," as he was fondly called, provided exemplary leadership to the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) by turning it to a concrete religious organization with influences around the world.

Ka Erdy also piloted the spiritual and moral well being of the Filipino people, the solons said.

According to the legislators, Ka Erdy also developed the Filipino culture with his colossal followers, through the massive doctrinal-discipline formation of norms and behavior that was transparently associated with the religion he professed.

"With Erano G. Manalo's religious leadership that transcended over political and social boundaries, Ka Erdy is worthy to be lined up with great Filipino leaders and other great Filipino achievers," the solons said.

Under the measure, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) shall issue the rules, orders and circulars necessary to carry out the provisions of the act.

Seafight - New Items for close and long range combat

0

Category: , , , , ,

Ahoy Pirates,

In Seafight there are 2 brand new items, that you can stock up on at certain times in the Market Cove.
Both items change the properties of your cannons and are therefore perfect for specific battle situations!

Hailstorm:


This item is ideal for close combat! After being shot, the Hailstorm bursts your ammunition into many smaller pieces, giving you a higher dispersion range. The effect: your hit probability will increase by 10%. However, these balls won’t fly so far so the range is therefore 20% less than usual. The Splitter Rain can be used against Guild Towers.

Windstorm:


Use this item for long range fighting! The Windstorm accelerates your ammunition an enormous amount and therefore increases their range by a huge 33%. As your ammunition will cover a greater distance, your hit probability will decrease by 15%. The Windstorm cannot be used against Guild Towers. The Windstorm will only be used if you are shooting further than your regular range and of course only if you have activated the item.

For both new items: You apply these items in almost the same way as your Black Gunpowder and Plates of Armor. Both the Hailstorm and Windstorm can be used as often as you like. However, only one item can be used at a time. The data on changes in hit probability relate to the values before any other modifications. You cannot use these items with repair ammunition.

These new action items will be available in the Market Cove during the next special days.

Enjoy the ship sinking! :-)

New Seafight Monsters

Category: , , ,

Ahoy Pirates,

Some of the monsters names are incorrect on the quest and test lists. The monsters required are on the maps where they need to be just the names are not correct. If you shoot a monster then check your test or quest log and you will be able to see if you got the correct monster or not.

An example the orcas for the 3 to 4 quest and lower tests the monster you actually need is called a skiliadon.

Thank you for your patience as this issue is sorted,

Your Seafight Team

Update:
Some of the monsters we have figured out already:

Orcas = Skiliadon in maps 1/1 through 4/4
Glasciadon = Octalus in maps 6/1 through 10/3

We will post more here as we find out what names have been replaced.

Brazilian-born Saverin co-founded Facebook with Harvard classmate Mark Zuckerberg and for a brief time had a one-third stake. When Zuckerberg quit school to relocate to California, Saverin stayed behind to graduate. A year later Facebook sued him; he countersued. The parties settled with Saverin apparently getting a 5 percent stake and co-founder bio on Facebook's site.

Small Comet Deep Impact NASA spacecraft flies

0

Category: , , ,

A NASA spacecraft sped past a small comet Thursday, beaming pictures back to Earth that gave scientists a rare close-up view of its center. Mission controllers burst into applause upon seeing images from the flyby that revealed a peanut-shaped comet belching jets of poisonous gases.
The close encounter occurred 13 million miles from Earth when the Deep Impact craft, hurtling through space, flew within 435 miles of comet Hartley 2. It's only the fifth time that a comet's core has been viewed up close.
Scientists are interested in comets because they're icy leftovers from the formation of the solar system about 4.5 billion years ago. Studying them could provide clues to how Earth and the planets formed and evolved.

Thursday's flyby is actually an encore mission for Deep Impact. It set off cosmic fireworks on July 4, 2005, when it fired a copper probe that crashed into comet Tempel 1. The high-speed collision spewed a cloud of debris into space, giving scientists their first peek of the interior.

After the $333 million comet-buster, NASA recycled Deep Impact for a new mission to visit another comet. It was supposed to target comet Boethin in 2008, but it was nowhere to be found. Scientists theorized the comet may have broken up into small pieces.

Deep Impact was then redirected to Hartley 2. Roughly 1 1/2 miles long, Hartley 2 is the smallest comet to be photographed up close. On its way there, the craft spent several months scanning a cluster of nearby stars with known planets circling them.

While its latest task lacks the Hollywood drama of the Tempel 1 crash, researchers still consider it an important mission. Unlike in 2005, viewers could not see Thursday's comet encounter in real time since the craft's antenna was not pointed at Earth as it flew past Hartley 2.

Since September, Deep Impact has been stalking Hartley 2 like a paparazzo, taking images every 5 minutes and gathering data. It's the first craft to visit two comets.

Deep Impact will observe Hartley 2 until Thanksgiving and then wait for further instructions from NASA. The space agency has not decided whether to reuse Deep Impact again. The craft does not have enough fuel on board to do another flyby.

The latest images add to scientists' cometary photo album, said astronomer David Jewitt of the University of California, Los Angeles, who had no role in the project.

Hartley 2 passed within 11 million miles of Earth on Oct. 20 — the closest it has been to our planet since its discovery in 1986.

British-born astronomer Malcolm Hartley, who discovered the comet, said he never imagined a spacecraft would get so close to his namesake find.
