I know there are some lists but dont know how I go about getting my home on the list.
Does anyone know how to do this? Anyone have experience doing this? If so, give me the pros and cons.

What is so special about the home? Is it historic? National Historic Registry or there is probably a local/state registry. Is it well decorated? Try submitting pics to an interior design or architectural magazine. You could also contact local marketing or PR firms. They might have a need for photos for a project.

I want a job that allows me to stay at home like packing magazines e.t.c

I do not believe such jobs exist anymore .. there are (of course) many scam artists, con-merchants and fraudsters who will tell you different (although you will have to send them a ‘joining fee’ or ‘deposit’ to find out if they are telling the truth)

There MAY have been a time (1960’s ??) when mechanical packing equipment was so expensive that it was cheaper to employ home workers to pack the items …

However minimium wage legislation, reductions in computerised robotic machinery costs (and, of course, the cost of capital i.e. the interest rate) together with the cost of shipping in bulk to houses and picking them up again make this a ‘non-starter’ in any non-3rd world country.

Letters (especially junk mail) and magazines are all auto-packed and addressed by machinery these days.

The only packing jobs that still exist are in warehouses – and even there I expect humans are involved only at the end of the ‘picking’ system (see TV programs about food packing for the Supermarkets on-line shopping delivery systems or the automated storage and book picking systems used by Amazon) ..

The fact is, in the west, machinery is a LOT cheaper, more reliable, and accurate than people ….. (plus, of course, machinery doesn’t demand triple time and days off in-lieu just because it’s a Xmas )

I created an account on this French Site (http://www.prismashop.fr/home-magazines/) to have a magazine delivered to my home … now after I made my request for the delivery ,I realized that my address is missing something … any one knows how can I change it ?

Better Homes and Gardens

We’re planning to incorporate Solar design features into our next home – actually, we’re looking at wind & solar. Which magazines are worth subscribing to? Which are not?
I should specificy that we’re more interested in passive solar than in solar panels.

Actually, check out some of the links on http://www.builditsolar.com

If you are going to do much of the work yourself, you will be sadly disappointed by what is available in print:

Homepower magazine http://www.homepower.com for example, it most often reads like a sales brochure, because "hands on" to a number of people usually means buying most of the system ready made in a kit. Hands on for me is breaking out the soldering iron and doing point to point wiring on components to construct the regulators (often called charge controlelrs.) Too much chaff for a hands on person to find useful. Some of the ads are useful.

Nuts and Volts http://www.nutsvolts.com/ is a bit better, but their topical coverage is far ranging so you do not always get as much as you would like. Spendy, might be better to sheck it out at the bookstores and buy it off the newstand when a decent article appears.

Mother Earth news http://www.motherearthnews.com is pretty good, but the best bang for the buck there is to buy their archives on CD rom, which is 3 disks, broke down by decade. There is a fair amount of substance, sometimes you encounter an article that sought to convert one item over to another, only it would have been much less work and cost for them to have started out from ground level and construct (with used parts) the same thing, which they sought to construct in the first place, a solar charged electric tractor is one specific item I have come to mind as one the author of the article could have done better. You might find the book they published "The Mother Earth News Handbook of Homemade Power," which is not real good for specifics in some areas, but is good for some ideas if you are good at working from thumbnail sketches, you can fill in the blanks where there are gaps in detail. The book was written more as a "primer" than a complete compillation.

For your wind systems, there is a lot to be found at http://www.lindsaybks.com Hugh Piggott has written a few good books on the home construction of windmills. The LeJay Manual is a good reprint that has a lot of good info for home constructing- down to the wooden propeller profiles. As well as the book "Generator Secrets."

One of the good sources for materials and tools supplies and systems is Northern Tool http://www.northerntool.com

One thing on propeller materials- never us ABS and never use PVC. As tempting as those can be they break. When they break, the blades will go for a great distance in modest winds. They can kill too.

It occurs to me that I do not have a bookshelf deep enough in which to stack magazines (like one would books, side by side, row by row). I don’t want to leave them lying around, yet I do not have enough to purchase a whole new book case.

Any suggestions?

Go to any store that sells school supplies. Look around to see where they sell the folders- the stiff paperboard kind with pockets and/or brads. See if they will give you several of the cardboard containers that the folders come in. Most stores will let you take these home for free. You can paint them or cover them with fabric or wrapping paper to match your decor. Put your magazines in these then insert them into your bookcase bottom end first (the spines of the magazine face upward so you can see them.) The folder cases will hold them upright so they don’t sag. You can pull the cardboard case out and see a couple years worth of magazines at a time, then just pull out the one you want.

mainly porn magazines, or anything really doesnt matter as long as i get on the mailing list and they keep sending me shit forever. im in australia.

Cheers!

I have a large home that I’ve truly enjoyed decorating. A lot of people say it looks like a show house in a magazine. How can I submit photos of my phone to be shown on a magazine? Or them send out a photographer here?

contact one of the magazines that you want your house to be featured in

Do they make magazines for home-schooled teen girls? I can’t find any! lol
If you can help then thanks!
god bless<3

Here are some online magazine for homeschooled kids, not just girls:

Magazines in general are having a hard time making it in today’s economic climate and with the availability of the internet. Many have stopped publishing on paper. With homeschooled kids being 4% of students, homeschooled girls would be maybe 2% of all teenagers. It’s kind of small demographic to bring to print. You could make an e-magazine for homeschooled girls as an interesting project or why not try a magazine for Christian girls/teens? (Basing that on your user name) Here is a link to magazines geared at the teen Christian demographic:
