Here is a great tip for a gift for yourself or your friends and family whether they are a video gamer or not. This book: Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card (and the book series) is really sick as they say – a gripping, excellent book all about the world of video gaming in the future.  A gripping book – you won’t want to put it down and will want to know how the series ends right away. But these books are almost impossible to get locally.

Luckily, with the holidays coming I found this steal of a deal (scroll down to pick the package deal for $48.70 & check any eligible shipping savings too), check it out and ENJOY ( I want one too) :

The Ender Quartet Box Set: Ender’s Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind (Paperback) by Orson Scott Card http://www.amazon.com/Ender-Quartet-Box-Set-Xenocide/dp/0765362430/

First Meetings: In the Enderverse (Enders, 3) [BARGAIN PRICE] (Hardcover)

The Ender’s Shadow Series Box Set: Ender’s Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, Shadow of the Giant [BOX SET] (Paperback)

Test: http://www.reddit.com/search?q=howto&sort=hot&t=all
search under category how to, sort by hot, all time, sending to Posterous to see what I get?

Why can’t we find people? Why don’t people want to work? Is it that the pay starts at 37 cents a question? Gosh, lots of them are easy -what did you think of this or that and give an example or a link to support it even are the easiest, or where can I buy such and such or how can I cook such and such? How to bake a cake, do handiwork around the house, knit, sew, run a business etc.

Has no one heard of us? Do they not believe it is possible? Yes it is.
Do you think you won’t get in? Yes you can.

How it works here: http://www.mahalo.com/how-mahalo-works
Where to register/start here http://www.mahalo.com
My blog with over 40 sample pages from there on how to find jobs here http://helpfind.wordpress.com
Read the Article at HuffingtonPost

Help Finding Blog .

This is a necessary process for success in most job finding interactions except at Mahalo http://www.mahalo.com where anyone 13 or over can start work online immediately to work from home on a piece work basis for extra money. Currently there are over 60 pages of paid tasks in the Tasks tab, hundreds if not thousands of unanswered questions, daily and weekly contests with cash prizes, and probably most of the more than 100,000 of their web pages are yet unclaimed for revenue sharing in page creation and/or management with free training provided.  In fact with the economy being so down, I don’t understand why so many open tasks paying money are not yet taken. It seems to me that it could help someone out there – please pass that information on to others looking for some extra money to earn and do someone a favor that could lead them in a new career direction!

Good luck in your job search wherever you are searching!
