<![CDATA[I am a grad student at Texas State University. I am seeking volunteers to assist me with readings for summer or fall classes this year. The way I would arrange this is as follows. There is one text book for summer courses and at least one and maybe two books for the fall which are not available on a recorded format. I would purchase the textbook, then send you a chapter or chapters depending on what your time allowed for. As far as how you record, I have had people record on regular tapes or they have used their computers and or voice recorders. When they are done, the files are emailed or put on CD and mailed back to me, or the tapes are mailed back to me. A typical 20-25 page chapter takes about an hour to 90 minutes of recording time. If you are interested, I would like to hear from you and if possible, get an idea of how you read and annunciate so I can be sure I'm able to understand you well when recording. Pleas contact me if you have any additional questions, or are interested in providing assistance. Experienced students, graduate students, or professionals with college experience desired, this will have some deadlines. Note to current students, I will gladly provide a reference for you in the future on your resume if you work well for me, because volunteer experience like this always looks good.]]>

<![CDATA[My name is Marc Barton and I am a Sergeant in the U.S. Army. I have not filed for bankruptcy yet and hopefully with your help I can avoid that. I have also contacted the credit counseling services, I will continue to try but I am getting the same response from all of them. I can't even afford their monthly payments to pay it off, and I have been told that I can't even afford to declare bankruptcy. If you look at my monthly expenses, I barely scrape by month to month and some months are a little harder. It seems that whenever I get an extra dollar, something comes up. I guess I should start at the beginning. I found out in August of 1997 that my son was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. I wanted the best for him and found out that enlisting in the Army would provide him with full medical coverage. Within a week I was off to boot camp at Fort Knox, KY. Currently I am assigned to the 3RD Brigade, 2ND Infantry Division at Fort Lewis, Washington. My wife, Sarah, and I have 2 sons and a daughter on the way in June. I have been deployed to Iraq twice in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. During my first deployment, I came home on leave and found a beautiful house for my family. I purchased the house and even though it needed many repairs and updates, I was determined to turn it into our dream home. Shortly after signing all the paperwork, I returned to Iraq to complete my tour of duty. Everything was going fine until my last deployment that ended in September of 2007. I found out that my mortgage was part of the sub-prime crisis that has hit the market. My intent was to redeploy in July, refinance my house for a fixed interest rate, and move on. However my tour was extended 3 months and I couldn't make it back in time before the ARM adjusted. Up to July of 2007, I had kept all my credit card payments current and was on my way to having a good credit score to refinance with. In July my APR was 6.5% and in August it was 9.5% and now it has reached 10.85%. My payments went from $850.00 a month to $1390.00 a month. On top of that I have a second mortgage that I took out to purchase building materials and other items to bring the house together. I believe I have done a great job on it. I purchased it at $152,000 and it now appraises at $300,000. When my mortgage payments started rising, I couldn't keep up with my other debt such as credit cards, utilities and so forth. I had to fall back on my credit cards to keep up with some of the necessities and then I put all other debts to the side and focused on my mortgage payments because I didn't want to lose my house. I am now facing losing it though because I cannot get a lender to even look at me for a refinance. Because of my delinquency on my credit card debt, my credit score has plummeted and I can't get it back up to a point where a lender will assist me. If I could pay off my credit card debt, and continue with my current payments on my house for 5-6 months, my broker assures me that my credit score will go up and I will qualify for a lower interest rate. Or if I could eliminate my second mortgage, it would free that money up to send to the creditors. I am willing to seek any avenue it takes. Every month I am barely scraping by and can't save up any money to make payments on my own. I have tried for the past 8 months to fix this and I have had a few organizations donate to me so that I can keep my utilities on, but it's too little, too late. I don't know what else to do. My wife and kids love our house and after all the sweat equity I have put into it, I would hate to have it foreclosed. I just remodeled the upstairs so that my toddler can move up to his own room and his nursery could be used for the daughter that is due in 2 months. If there is anything you can do, can you please help me insure that my family can stay in our dream home? if you want to see pictures go to: <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/sgtbarton/" rel="nofollow">http://www.freewebs.com/sgtbarton/</a> ]]>

Over my four years in college, I've found a number of ways to make $$ to help pay for all the little expenses that tend to come up.

During the last two years voluntary groups started renovation works in the precincts of the school. They relayed pebble, built banquettes of stone and started removing the old plaster from the surface. In summer 2008, volunteers will continue this work in order to improve the old building, and they are also going to contribute in the restoration, renovation and conservation of traditional cobblestone pavements and terraces in different parts of the village. Location: Amvrakia is a traditional, isolated village of Etoloakarnania, near the city of Thermo, a political and religious centre during antiquity. The city of Thermo is 60 km away from the city of Messologgi and Amvrakia is 46 km from Agrinio, another big city of the area. During the past few years, former inhabitants of the village, who have formed an association for its preservation, make strong efforts to find funds in order to save the old stone-made buildings, cobblestone pavements and squares. The small village has luxuriant vegetation, a beautiful waterfall where volunteers will have the chance to swim, an old watermill in the bed of river Gidomandritis and very hospitable villagers who await joyfully each year the groups of volunteers.

<![CDATA[Need help with honey bee relocation. We don't want to exterminate them! Relocating and Removing Bees is very expensive. Please Donate to Save Bees! Jeff Tenery P.O. BOX 136727 Fort Worth, Tx. 76136-0727 BEES IN DANGER: As reported on 60 Minutes, "Honeybees are the unsung heroes of the food chain, crucial to the production of one third of the foods we eat. So when billions of bees began to mysteriously disappear last year, there was plenty of concern and no shortage of theories, blaming everything from cell phones to divine rapture." As the number of bees dwindles and beekeepers, farmers, and consumers suffer, those closest to the problem have offered their own ideas and solutions for the problem. David Hackenberg, a beekeeper profiled on the 60 Minutes special, says that most beekeepers believe that one culprit is a new type of pesticide called "neonicotinoids,"a synthetic chemical based on nicotine. "Well, basically, the chemical, the manufacturers of this product say it breaks down their immune system, causes memory loss, causes nervous system disorders. It causes the insects to quit feeding," Hackenberg says. Bayer CropScience, a leading manufacturer of neonicotinoids, denies that the pesticide is responsible for colony collapse, and it cites studies which support that conclusion. Other studies by the French government, and protests by French beekeepers, caused the pesticide to be partially banned there in 1999. ]]>

Also willing to do housework, laundry, ironing, clean floors, bathe your pets, walk your dogs, help with yardwork, etc. I also have years of office and customer service experience and would love to help organize files, data entry.. anything office related. If anyone needs help tomorrow (Thursday) and/or Friday please let me know. I would like to make $200 over the next two or three days if possible. I'm willing to work day and night to make that much money. (I need some for presents, some so I can get my TABC certification so I can wait tables for the next couple weeks, and some for gas to get to interviews I have scheduled for next week for a new full time job). I should be available Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon after 3pm as well. I'm not asking for a hand out. I will work for it. ]]>
