Five Ways to Find Job Openings

t place people turn when they start their job search. It makes sense since newspapers are a good place to find local openings.

The classified ads, however, aren't quite what they used to be. The job opening section is filled with pyramid scheme ads and fewer and fewer real jobs run in these listings.
Culling through them takes time, but can provide you an advantage over those who are not willing to do so.

2. Online Classified Ads

The Internet has become a great source for finding job openings. It's free, easy and may be done from a library or the comfort of your home cumputer.

The search features are fairly detailed on most online job sites. This allows you to narrow your search to find the job that is right for you without wasting time.
Apply with the click of a button and save both time and money.

It's a good idea to have your clean and updated resume posted on the larger job sites anyway, as corporate recruiters frequently scan qualified resumes and mass email candidates. You may get some unwanted spam this way, but that perfect job may fall into your lap with you having to do any legwork at all.

On final note here: Some of the larger online employment resources pull job opportunities from a wide variety of sources both off-and-online. This maximizes the number of job matches that turn up from your search and minimizes the amount of time you spend checking in with several different job search sites.

3. Local Employment Resource Companies

Visiting an area or local employment office is a good idea when you are seeking a new job opportunity. They have resources to test your skill level, help build your resume, teach you new skills, offer valuable job training and provide tips and job placement.

4. Window Shopping for Help Wanted Signs

Depending on the type of job opening you are seeking, you may be able to find one just by driving through strip mall parking lots and past industrial parks looking for help wanted signs.

Of course, this isn't going to work for all jobs, but being in the right spot at the right time may help you land a position with a great employer.

5. Networking to Find a Job

One of the best ways to get your foot in the door with a new company or find out about new job opportunities is to network.

Start by letting your friends and relatives know what you are looking for in a job. Branch out and talk to others about it as well.

Keep your ears open all the time for job openings and be willing to share your job leads with others in the same boat. The bottom line is that an application that is received with a recommendation from a friend or current employee has a much stronger chance of getting the job than someone who blindly responds to a classified ad.

Learn how to create a "buzz" around yourself much as marketers do around a new product.

How you find employment resources and job openings is going to depend on the type of job you want.

A high tech job, for example, isn't likely to place an ad in the local newspaper. Likewise, the corner store isn't going to waste their time placing an online ad for their job opening.

Keep an open mind and use a variety of sources to locate job openings until you are successful.

The Music Gym

Amongst the squash courts and practice nets at Horntye Sports Centre in Hastings is the Decoda Music Gym, an area designed for experimenting and playing with music and movement. For the physically able there's an interactive bouncy castle, dancing-boards that trigger music, or the opportunity to dance with your shadow on a large screen. For the less able, or less energetic, there are Soundbeams, vibro-acoustic seats and cushions, bubbles, and switches to operate film.

The Gym is overseen by popular local blues musicians Tom Smurthwaite and John Ballard. Its clients range from people with profound disabilities to conventionally able but playful or curious adults and youngsters - but this isn't a mere leisure activity. When administrator Sue Heath invited me to attend one of their regular Friday sessions, I was in for a morning of surprises and learning.

Sue says: "Years ago, as a Relate counsellor, I was surprised to find that mentioning a client was a musician would trigger smiles all round. The label 'musician', I discovered, was taken as shorthand for totally unable to communicate except through his/her music. The film The Commitments bears this out - a band delivering Irish soul music on stage and beating nine bells out of each other in the dressing room."

So why is it that a pair of typical pub-musicians have made such a hit as facilitators at Decoda, working with people with profound and multiple disabilities? How did they come to feel at home with people who find it so very difficult to communicate? And why have they have gone to such lengths over the years to bridge the gaps in those people's lives?

John with his band Night Shift, and Tom (playing under the name of Junior Thompson) are regulars on the circuit of blues-loving pubs around Hastings and make occasional appearances in Europe. They're both life-long blues musicians; singer songwriters with a strong local reputation. Playing in pubs has given them the confidence to walk into any situation and know that they can turn it around. A lack of initial response from an audience doesn't worry them. In short, they can bypass the rituals of polite, social behaviour without embarrassment and without making judgemental responses.

Tom says: "In an open situation, [such as a pub] you're not just playing to people who know you. There are people walking in and out all the time. If people stay, that affects you. Equally if people leave that affects you. Sometimes you're not entertaining in respect of people looking at you, but rather you're creating an ambience."

John felt this was particularly important and something young bands don't necessarily recognise - the need to be sensitive to the feel of the venue, rather than demanding attention and immediate positive feedback.

The Decoda project started with the aim of taking good musicians of all genres into day centres and residential homes. It was an inclusion issue - why shouldn't people with learning disabilities enjoy live music in the same way as anyone else? But not everyone was included - the people in wheelchairs, on the edge of a group, couldn't participate in playing the percussion instruments, they simply had something done for them - bells strapped on their wrists, their hand held around a tambourine.

Gradually the attention shifted to those with the least chance of joining in, with the least experience of having an effect on their surroundings. How to enable them to be more involved? When Tom and John were asked to run a regular workshop consisting solely of people with profound disabilities this question became a real issue. None of the things they had been doing with other groups worked with them. It might keep them, and their staff, amused for a couple of hours but Tom and John wanted to be more than entertainers.

They decided to start from where the people were, to explore how their unconventional gestures could be used to express themselves through music. One of the results of their experiments was their installation of The Soundbeam - a 'keyboard in the air' which turns movement into sound.

Using the Soundbeam meant that a young woman who had no movement other than her eyelids was able to compose music, or a man who constantly jerked his head learned to control this to create the sounds he wanted and then, spectacularly, to sit completely still for twenty minutes. People were now making something happen who had maybe never experienced this before.

Communication requires the ability to make choices and to convey them to others. Tom speaks of a "wordless communication that develops amongst musicians, working together to produce the end-sound, recognising their part in the whole and playing the most compatible part."

So for all their reputation for being social misfits off-stage, pub performers know of more ways to communicate than they are often given credit for. "Playing in a pub," says Tom, "you learn to observe how things are going between yourself and the band plus between the band and the audience. The same is true when working with people with PMLD (profound and multiple learning disabilities); noticing how they become engaged, how they react, and noticing in enough detail to see when they doing something they've never done before."

Such moments can be the key to great progress. B is a young woman who has been a regular visitor to the Music Gym since it started. She has no speech, is visually impaired and confined a lot of the time to a wheelchair. She is also blessed with two support staff who saw immediately the potential of the Music Gym. With their help she tried out the castle, pushed the huge ball, played the Soundbeam and walked, supported, with a metal frame - Tom and John noted that the sports hall allowed a lot more space for this than a house would. On the last day of the pilot project she walked without staff support for the first time in her life. She now enjoys the shadow-dancing as the contrasting images allow her to see her support staff making shapes on the screen.

But what of the people who couldn't be enticed to use the Soundbeam? What of someone with so-called 'challenging behaviour' whose energy could erupt in a disruptive manner?

Sometimes in a pub people feel they have a right to tell you what to play. Tom recalls a man asking for a number while he was actually singing - without halting he managed to let him know that that wasn't the right time AND he wouldn't be playing that. In a rowdy environment it can be vital to turn around stubborn or unrealistic demands quickly without getting into a conflict situation. Tom enjoys 'grabbing' people with something they weren't expecting, something beyond what they think they want. He brings the same attitude to his work with Decoda clients. He's always on the look out for ways to extend people's boundaries, to enable them to experience something new and unexpected.

So the Decoda team turned their attention to clients whose behaviours had previously been seen as wholly negative - something to stop, or get control of. What if someone who liked to punch were given a punch-bag fitted with sensors so that each time he punched it he produced a sound? What if there were a room full of similar devices? Plus space to move around and freedom to choose what to do?

This was the thinking behind the Music Gym. It took another two years to access the funding which would make it a reality, albeit for just one morning a week. The pilot scheme started in October 2005, funded by the local Learning Disabilities Development Fund and run in partnership with MCCH (a regional care-providing organisation).

Part of the funding was for an independent evaluation which found that 97% of questionnaires completed stated that their client had benefited overall from their participation in the Music Gym. 88% stated that the client had developed over time and 72% of clients had tried things new to them. In addition 55% of participants demonstrated sustained learning. These latter points are often not seen as potential achievements for people with such complex needs. It was observed that where staff believed in their clients' capacity to make their own choices and in their potential to develop, they were actively encouraged and clearly benefited. In addition to the activities, clients benefited from the opportunity to participate in the wider community, and from the space that the sports hall provided.

The Music Gym is now an ongoing weekly facility for people with profound disabilities, some of whom travel over 20 miles for the experience. In the huge sports hall they can be as energetic, creative, or simply relaxed as they like as they find their way around the fascinating array of technology, but what stuck in my mind after my morning with the Decoda team was the power of music under the direction of these gifted facilitators.

I watched John charging around with a young man in a wheel-chair, activating a patchwork of sound-emitting mats and boards. There was no pattern to it that I could see and I had no way of interpreting the signals John was clearly getting from the young man - but when they returned to us, and John said to his partner in the chair; "That was great - shall we do it again?" Even I could see the eager 'yes' in the eyes that answered him.

For example, if you are drawn to healing arts like homeopathy, be prepared to be amazed. As one of the relatively newer developed systems of medicine, homeopathy actually stems from ancient healing schools of thought dating back thousands of years. In natural health schools offering homeopathy as a course of study, students learn basic homeopathic pharmacy, case taking and repertorisation, and clinical internship, among other relevant subject matter.

If you're intrigued by herbal medicine, or plant medicine, natural health schools will supply you with necessary skills and knowledge about botanical medicine, herbal formulation, herbal cultivation and pharmacy, Bach Flower remedies, aromatherapy, and more. Depending on the level of training you'd like to achieve, there are a variety of natural health schools that provide an assortment of herbalism classes ranging from beginner to advanced.

Massage therapy as a natural health treatment is also gaining leeway in modern medicine. A matter of fact, the career outlook for massage therapists is very good considering there has been a steady demand for natural healthcare workers and practitioners in North America, alone. Massage therapy training at any one of a number of natural health schools offers students a diverse array of massage modalities from which to choose. While basic, practical training is afforded in Swedish massage, sports massage and deep tissue massage; a great number of programs have begun integrating a larger selection of bodywork techniques like Trigger Point therapy, Myofascial Release, craniosacral therapy, and Chinese medical massage, among several others.

What's in store for the future of natural healthcare? As natural health and healing concepts continue to expand, and research continues to prevail, there will always be a growing need for the professional healer. Natural health schools play an integral role in meeting these demands by providing extensive and comprehensive educational platforms that either meet or exceed academic requirements; and/or State regulations.* (Massage therapy, naturopathy, homeopathy, chiropractic, and acupuncture are regulated healthcare disciplines.)

A Major Cause Of Relationship Problems

We all know that relationships are very challenging. 52% of married people reach their 15th anniversary and only 33% reach their 25th anniversary.

I have been counseling individuals and couples for 40 years and I believe that I have discovered a major cause of relationship problems - if not THE major cause.

Simply put, each person makes the other person responsible for his or her feelings and then tries, in various ways, to have control over getting the other person to behave in the ways she or she wants.

When most people get into a relationship, they tend to believe that this person whom they love will finally make them feel safe, secure, adequate and lovable. Because most people do not know how to make themselves feel safe, secure, adequate and lovable, and because many people came from families that did not provide this, they each believe that it needs to be provided by the other person.

The other person might try very hard to provide this. Imagine that you have a partner who is very kind and caring. But imagine that you are very critical of yourself. While your partner's caring feels good, as long as you are judging yourself, you will feel bad. No matter how much your partner loves you, as long as you are being unloving to yourself, you will not feel safe, secure, adequate and lovable.

However, you might not realize that your feelings of insecurity, anxiety, or fear are coming from your own thoughts. You might think that you are not happy because your partner is just not loving you enough. As a result, you might try various actions to try have control over getting the love you want - such as getting angry, blaming, or giving yourself up. The act of trying to control your partner only adds to your own bad feelings.

Meanwhile, your partner is likely doing the same thing - trying to get you to make him or her feel safe, secure, adequate and lovable. But when you try to control your partner and your partner tries to control you, you both end up feeling worse. One or both of you might go into resistance, withdrawing to protect against being controlled. When one person withdraws to avoid being controlled, the other person might feel even more abandoned, trying even harder to have control over getting the love you want.

As long as you each make the other person responsible for your feelings, you will continue to create a relationship that doesn't work.

The way out of this - the way to break this codependent system - is for one person to start to take responsibility for his or her own feelings. It really just takes one person to break the unloving system that both have established. When you begin to notice the thoughts that create your fear, insecurity, and feelings of unworthiness and unlovability, then you can start to learn to heal the wounded part of you that is critical of you. As you do your own inner work and learn to love yourself, you stop being a victim. You stop blaming your partner. You stop trying to control your partner into making you feel loved.

While there is no guarantee that your partner will also make changes, there is a good possibility that when you learn how to make yourself happy and take the pressure off your partner to do this for you, he or she might be interested in doing this as well.

Whatever the outer problems are in your relationship - sexual issues, money issues, parenting issues, chores, time, and so on - the underlying issue not taking responsibility for your own feelings. When you decide to learn to do this, you may be thrilled with the results!

Loving Mother And Motherly Affection

In life, we generally come across various forms of relationships like Father-son, husband-wife, love, friendship etc but the most dearest and hearty relation of all is of a mother and her child relationship. The bond of mother and child is purest and holy. Mother is next to GOD. She is the Gem who knows everything. A warm and affectionate touch of mother will give you immense pleasure and you will feel as you are in heaven.

The relationship of a mother and a child carries deep emotions and feelings within it and it is always nurtured by love, affection and care. Mother is the one who gives birth to the child, bought him up, support him when he need someone the most, guide him in taking right decisions, stand against crowd and favors his child if he is right, always stands behind her in his thick and thin, biggest sharer, suffer a lot of pain from the time of birth of a child till he become adult but never expect anything in return. Whenever you feel sad and tensed, she will embrace you and all your worries will come to an end.

The most respectful and adorable person on this earth is "Mother" Even if you will fight with her, argue with her, pour you anger on her; she will forgive you for everything with a gentle smile on her face and without thinking for a second. Is there any relationship better than this relation where there is no ego, no fears, no hard feelings, just the feeling of love and affection? In today's generation people get so much busy in their lives that they hardly find time for their mother, they don't even remember the things she has done for them to make their life smooth and comfortable. A person should always remember the efforts made by the mother for his betterment and should give utmost respect and care to his mother, as she really deserves it. He should let her mother know what she mean to him and she will be the most happiest person on this whole world.

We celebrate mother's day once in a year but tell me, do we need any special day to show our gratitude to our mother who has devoted and sacrifice her whole life for us. If should make her feel that she means world to us each day that will be true gift to her.

If you really want to express your love to your mother, don't wait for long now and don't hesitate, go to her and give a hug and tell her "Mother you are next to GOD, thanks for everything you have done for me. You are the best person on this whole earth and I really mean it, you have serve your whole life for us and you deserve the best of everything. I love you mother"

You can also express your feelings to your mother in some different way. You can take the help of poems and quotes easily available on Internet, which will help you in expressing your feelings in better way. Dedicate the poems to your mother and show your respect, affection and gratitude to her and you will see she will keep on smiling.

Myspace Layouts - the Missing Element

The world has become so fast paced that people don’t want to stand by reading a page of information, they would much rather look at a presentation and understand the message. It has come to a point where images and videos are used more to promote a product or service and this has extended from businesses to our daily routine. We are all in such a hurry that we wave bye instead of saying “goodbye”, show the watch to point to the time and so on. It is a healthy habit considering how we use our hands and motions to indicate what we are upto or capable of. Imagine dancing a few steps to tell someone you are off to a dance class? That would impress them to no end. The same applies when you are interacting with others online through a forum. You can take the assistance of MySpace Layouts to dress up your pages and convey messages to people who come by. These MySpace Layouts will have boxes for content, and for your personal information. There will also be provisions given in the MySpace Layouts for putting up pictures and videos. One might even be able to use the MySpace Layouts to put in a slideshow of their favorite pictures.

As long as the page does not look too cluttered or it becomes difficult for people to read the text, these extra frills from MySpace Layouts can remain. However, if by using these from the MySpace Layouts, you are aiming at cutting across as professional, you might not really succeed. Because when our pages are filled with text, pictures and other fun elements, it loses its professionalism and becomes a fun page. So, it is advisable for you to choose from the MySpace Layouts sensibly. It might help make friends, but will it help you in your professional endeavors by using those MySpace Layouts?

The MySpace Layouts site offers more than just backgrounds and most of us who have been there know this fact. There are surveys that we can create on MySpace Layouts page that will help us find out about others, or reveal more about ourselves. Apart from this, the MySpace Layouts website will contain MySpace music backgrounds, which will have musical notes or instruments as the background picture. These MySpace Layouts work well for a musician or an aspiring singer. Similarly, if a person loves animals, they can put in one of the many MySpace Layouts available on the site. Or they could upload a picture of their pet and using MySpace Layouts generator; create their own personalized one of a kind background. Whatever you decide to do with the MySpace Layouts, make sure to have put some thought into it if you are hoping to see some kind of visible improvement in your career or job front, welcoming new opportunities.

Cheating Signs: Is Your Guy Faithful?

It is quite normal for a human being to be attracted to another person of the opposite sex, other than one's significant other. What is beyond normal is if one will entertain this attraction. The ratio of men to women is one is to ten. This simply means that there is a thousandth percent chance that the man will dump the girl. Unfair, indeed!

No wonder why there are many cases of infidelity that eventually lead to divorce. Surveys show that there are 12,326,369 women who have filed for a divorce. That is 3,294,269 less than the number of men who have filed for a divorce.

What do these figures mean? It could lead from one reason to another, but one reason could be the infidelity of most men.

Hence, if ever you are suspicious about your husband cheating you, ponder on many things. But this does not necessarily mean that you are sharp on trapping him doing the act because you cannot simply confirm your suspicions based on your husband's actions or deeds. But you can keep a close watch on these signs:

1. More vain

Men are known to be relatively vain about themselves too. But if he becomes too vain than usual, that is definitely something to keep the wife's eyes open.

It would be better for a woman to keep her senses working properly if he starts to work out, fashion conscious, and takes time to smell really good.

Psychological studies confirmed that people would usually respond to the way their body reacts on something that they like. Hence, if a person is having some special interest on another, the normal thing to do is to make a good impression so as to attract the other person.

2. Playing hide and seek

A woman can tell that her man is cheating if his work routines were revolutionized. He has more over time work than the usual and more frequent, and yet he remains nowhere to be found whenever you call his office and check on his whereabouts.

3. Traveling maniac

He suddenly likes to travel more than the usual. Usually, he would tell you he has some corporate seminars and it so happens that the schedule is always on weekends.

4. Great big spender

He is splurging more on money; but is secretive on where the money goes. He would instantly keep his financial records locked up in a safe place, and when you start rummaging into his things, he gets offended.

Some personality traits studies reported that people who are guilty of doing something become more defensive than they are before.

5. Internet addict

When a married man logs to an Internet dating site, no one asks permission slip from his wife. This can be pretty dangerous because there are sites that even offer cheaters advice on everything from how to deal with guilt to how to avoid being caught.

Hence, a married man who uses the Internet repeatedly and is enigmatic when he logs on is a good sign of cheating.

According to one study, 30% of married chat-room participants later met up in person with their chat partner. It is a slippery slope and many real-life affairs grow out of this.

6. Schedule master

He is more concerned about your timetable. He would ask you over and over again about your whereabouts than before.

7. Too edgy especially on the phone

Every time the phone is ringing, he flies his way to get the phone. He habitually talks in a lower voice than the usual or locks himself up in a room to continue talking with the other person on the line.

8. Inefficient performer in bed

He has more lame excuses of not wanting to have sex. His performance in bed diminishes, or worse, had gone.

9. Too hot to handle

If you ask him about his whereabouts, he gets cynical. He will even accuse you of nagging and being too nosy.

10. Clean or dirty?

He suddenly wants to change into fresh clean clothes and takes a shower as soon as he arrives home. He makes it a point to change into something and smell differently on an instant.

Given all that, you can now have a clear picture of what your husband has been doing all this time. However, the choice you have to make whether you have to do something about it now or you have to get more clues will all depend on you.

Just keep in mind that choosing whether you have to stay and hold on to the chance that things might change and get better will only prolong the agony. If you really want to straight things out, talk to him. Just make it sure that the conversation will be subtle and calm. You will never get any farther if you will start blurting out your pains and sufferings.

The key here is to deliberate meticulously on what to do next after all of the cheating signs have been clear and apparent.

As one woman has stated after she found out that her husband has cheated on her and still continues to defend himself, "I may be old, but I am not dead. God knows what is right and what is wrong, and in the final analysis, he will reward the just, and punish those who deserve to be punished."

Fixing Your Credit Score

Have you seen those late night television commercials? You know the ones where they claim that you can erase your bad credit overnight. What about those commercials that claim it is possible to get a major credit card without using a deposit or even a credit check?

There are advertisements both online and off selling books and systems to help you fix your credit problems. It is not uncommon for many of them to make outrageous claims.

The question naturally arises, "Are these sort of claims too good to be true?"

These credit repair companies would love for you to believe that the only requirement for fixing bad credit is time. The reality is quite different. The truth is that time is only one factor but it is not the only factor.

There is a consumer protection law known as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The only negative information which can remain on your credit report is what is not accurate. This means that any negative item on your credit report can stay there if it is true and can be proved to be true. This item presents us with good and bad news.

This is the good news. Through the FCRA you can improve your credit score dramatically. This can be accomplished in a short period of time. This requires a small amount of effort from you.

Now here is the bad news. While the work may take you a small amount of time, it is essential that you have the proper method on how to proceed. This is the crucial point: Most of the courses available on restoring your credit (9 out of 10) will not be helpful at all. The reason for this is that these companies will provide you with boiler plate dispute letters.

These boiler plate dispute letters are nothing more than form letters. The truth of the matter is that credit bureaus and creditors will tend not to take these very seriously.

It is quite true that anything a credit repair clinic can do for you, you can do it yourself for little or no cost. However, and this is the key point, to be successful it is imperative that you acquire the most recent insider techniques and procedures to achieve the desired results; i.e., improved credit scores.

This includes, but is not limited to, such strategies as proof of contract, constructive notice, challenge of procedure and restrictive endorsement.

This may appear complicated, but in reality they are very simple. These are just a means of communicating. In turn, this is how you exercise your consumer rights. Knowing how to proceed will enable you to get the results that you want and will raise your credit score.

Also, you may discover how to make money by doing this for others. It is an important service and one that is in popular demand.

Web Based CRM Software Makes Telecommuting Easier

After years of the promise of being able to telecommute and work from home, it looks like there is finally some progress being made in that arena. Now more than ever, with traffic getting worse and commute times getting longer, people want the ability to be able to work from home. For salespeople, this is getting a lot easier with smartphones becoming more common and, especially, with more and more companies adding web based CRM software to their tools that they make available to their sales reps.

CRM software is a database for a salesperson that holds all the vital contact information on prospects and customers. CRM Software can be as basic as a simple database that holds the contact information, or you can use it to send email, direct mail, and postcards all on a set schedule. CRM Software is a tremendous tool for salespeople that are looking to take it to the next level. Regardless of what you may believe, most salepeople are just masters in process and sticking to a particular process. Once they find the formula that works, the good ones document the process and then setup a system in which all leads are handled. That can mean that after an initial contact, leads are put in a certain sales funnel, then they go through a set of predetermined steps that are proven to convert leads into customers. Until recently, most salespeople needed to be in the office to have access to their CRM System.

Web based CRM is the next generation. No longer are you tied to your home computer, but you can access your CRM Software via any web connection. That means that if there are certain days where a salesperson just plans on making outbound telephone calls, they can do it from the comfort of their own home. Even better for their bosses, this means they can still get work done if they need to be at home with a sick child or if the weather keeps them from coming in the office.

Many employers don't like the idea of telecommuting because they fear employees might start slacking off. But really, for salespeople who are measured by goals that should be a non-issue. Whether they are working from home or the office, a manager should not care as long as they are hitting their numbers. And too often, managers confuse 'showing up' with productivity. What a sales managers stance really should be is that they shouldn't care how or where you work as long as you are bringring in prospects.

So if you are looking for a little more flexibility in your sales career, you should definitely be checking out a web based CRM software solution. The combination of a good software program and the ability to access your information anywhere can be a powerful tool in your sales arsenal. It will give you the flexibility you need to stay in touch with prospects without being tied down to the office. And anytime away from an office is a good thing!

Cheap Way to Unlock your Treo Instantly!

If you have a Palm Treo and would like to switch service provider, you will need to get it unlocked. In the past that meant sending it off to someone and having them unlock it for you. Or paying your provider big bucks to unlock it. But you can now do it from your own home for as little as 15$. Sites such as CellUnlockCode sell two ways of unlocking your Treo. By unlock code or unlock software.

Easy to use unlock software will have your Treo unlocked in minutes.

New models are added all the time, so if yours isn't listed, I suggest you check the page to make sure.

CellUnlockCode can also unlock your Treo with an unlock code. For about 10-20$ more you can avoid using unlock software and simply send them your 15 digit IMEI number (which you can get by pressing * # 0 6 # on your keypad). The unlock code will work for ANY GSM Treo locked to Cingular/AT&T or T-Mobile. Once you place your order and send them your IMEI number, they will send you your unlock code along with instructions on how to enter it into your Treo. It generally takes about 1-2 days for them to send you your unlock code.

There are many benefits to getting your Treo unlocked. First of all it's 100% legal so you don't have to worry about whether or not you're breaking the law. In addition to the freedom of being able to switch providers, it also increases the resale value of your phone.

Regardless of which unlock method you chose, both are quick and painless. We highly recommend CellUnlockCode as their prices are amongst the cheapest on the net, and customer service is extremely quick.

Carrot Juice and Nutrients

The aim of this article is to point out the goodness that is inside carrot juice, and to list the nutrients that are in it. Carrot juice on its own can be pretty boring although at the same time being very good for you, and by adding different ingredients into your juicer it can be both tasty and good for you at the same time.

It’s a common known fact that a liquid nutrient is far superior to any other of the tablet variety. Once the liquid is in your mouth it starts to work straight away providing excellent nutrients for the body, where as a tablet has to let the acid in the stomach do the work, and only a small percentage of goodness actually goes into the system.

With carrot juice you have an abundance of vitamin A and vitamin C. Another ingredient sometimes over looked is Potassium which helps with muscle control as well as being an excellent way of reducing cholesterol levels.

It is true that carrot juice on its own or any other vegetable that you make into juice can be an acquired taste, and if you’re thinking about trying to induce your children into taking these healthy juices they will probably take one taste and spit it out.

Now it is a fact of life that children do love smoothies or shakes, and by making fruit smoothies with bananas, strawberries, raspberries, blackcurrants or any other of these types of fruits and then mix in a little carrot juice the battle is then won.

For a healthy option to thicken the mix up you can add natural yoghurt and you find that in normal circumstances that it is trial and effort to get things right.

By using milk in a shake the children will also get a good dose of Calcium. Please note that you don’t have be a child, to drink these, as things like Calcium, vitamin C (in the fruit and the carrots), and vitamin A are a good prevention against things like Osteoporosis.

All together the nutrient value of carrots is superb, and when you work out that a cup of juiced carrots and fruit can be between 70 and 100 calories per cup depending on which fruit you mix with the carrots, so it’s ideal for those on diets and it also acts as a good antioxidant.
