The walk may be filmed for TV broadcast, but at the very least, the winning pair will have their own private film of their walk – as well as signed DVD’s photo’s and memorabilia from the series.

Kevin Curran, General Manager of the Skiddaw Hotel, part of the Lake District Hotels Ltd group said “The hotel is very popular for walking holidays and we already have a walking break named after Julia Bradbury and Wainwright  – it includes a copy of Wainwright’s Northern Fells book and a bathroom experience pack for relaxing after a days walking on the fells!

Julia likes to stay with us when she is filming in the Lake District, so we were delighted when she mentioned the opportunity to link in with Terry Wogan’s “Want Money can’t buy” auction. Fingers crossed for the bidding on Monday morning.”

Austin-San Marcos, Texas ( PressReleaseStudio ) November 13, 2009  – With the stock market constantly proving itself to be unstable, investors are turning to another method of investing for their retirement. Truly Self Directed IRA is a company that is providing new options for investors by giving them safety from the volatile nature of today’s stock market.

While some critics of this type of plan have stated that the market always bounces back, the current recovery is seen as a reaction to the government stimulus plan and, therefore, is not sustainable. Investors are now looking for alternatives to the market and many of these people believe that real estate IRA is the way to go.

Josh Moore of Truly Self Directed IRA states that “there has been a significant increase in the number of real estate IRA deals being done.” This bodes well for the future of this type of investments, “as many people are now choosing this method over the stock market,” Moore adds.

This is a direct backlash from the amount of money that has been lost in the stock market over the past couple of years. Individuals have been forced to work well beyond their perceived retirement date because their retirement funds have been depleted.

In some cases, these individuals have seen their funds decrease by 50% in a very short span, which “rarely happens around the median home priced real estate market. People need a place to live no matter what is happening on Wall Street. Even though the real estate market did go through some short term problems, it has rebounded in many parts of the country and has truly stabilized,” states Moore.

The Real estate IRA is meant to help people take control of their own destinies by giving them some control over where their personal investments are placed. “The days of relying on a big company or a large government pension is no longer a sustainable strategy for retirees because these program seem to always receive cuts, especially during and following a recessionary period. Therefore, it is a wise idea for every investor to evaluate their investment strategy and take personal responsibility for their own retirement plan.

Moore says, “we are starting to see a trend where younger investors are asking about the Real Estate IRA. This trend is increasing for a number of reasons:

1. Many are seeking to truly diversify.
2. Many want control over where their retirement funds are invested.
3. Many realize homes will always be in demand.
4. Many of the 30 and 40 somethings realize there is not going to be a safety net for them like Social Security so they must take the initiative now or face a substandard lifestyle during their retirement years.”

In addition, “many wonder with the current state of the economy and the loses suffered over the past year whether they will be able to retire,” concludes Moore.

For more information on real estate IRA, contact Josh Moore at http://www.IRALLCPartner.com or 877-339-4559.

About Truly Self Directed IRA:
Truly Self Directed IRA is an investment firm that allows all investors to take funds that they otherwise would have placed into low return investments and place these investments wherever they see fit. It is advised that these funds are placed in real estate or development because these investments provide a greater return in a shorter period of time. Investors have been scared away from the stock market, but this is a viable alternative for investors of all sizes to look into.

Cedaredge, CO ( Pressreleasestudio ) November 10, 2009 – Located in the western slopes of Colorado, Grand Mesa Alpacas raises and sells premium high quality alpacas that are excellent providers of fleece and serve as a great addition to any herd. There are many benefits to raising Alpacas compared to other livestock. Alpacas are more environmentally friendly then traditional livestock, they are fairly low maintenance, and they offer a great tax benefit.

Alpacas are extremely resourceful and environmentally friendly, their fibers can be used to create blankets, scarf’s, gloves, sweaters, teddy bears, etc. and are generally warmer then wool or synthetics such as nylon and polyester. Alpaca fiber grows yearly and comes in 22 different colors reducing the need for toxic dyes that harm the environment. Furthermore little detergent is necessary when processing alpaca fiber compared to processing of sheep’s wool.

Alpacas are low maintenance compared to other livestock. Alpacas enjoy an average life span of about twenty years. This is twice as long as sheep and cattle allowing them to provide twice as many resources over their lifetime and eliminate the need to continually breed. The upkeep of an alpaca is fairly simple as they only require nail and teeth trimming every 6-12 months and annual shearing. Indigenous to harsh climates and environments alpacas have adapted many skills necessary to survive and require little veterinarian visits and minimal predatory fencing.

Perhaps the biggest benefit to owning Alpacas is the tax benefit that owning Alpacas offers. If Alpacas are raised for profit all the expenses incurred can be written off against your income. You can also write off 100% of your original purchase of the alpaca herd up to $250k.

Alpacas are great animals to raise and offer many benefits, Grand Mesa Alpacas offers potential investors the opportunity to live the Alpaca herding lifestyle firsthand. Through their Rancher for a day program potential investors enjoy a chance to experience the beautiful setting of Colorado and learn the lifestyle of these marvelous creatures.
