A fun site to kill time.
I just came cross a really fun site. This site provides 5 sets of survey for each user per day. Users can get some "tickets" after complete each group of survey. These tickets can be used to join the draw for prize. Occasionally, you can get some cash after complete one set of survey. Once the cash in your account is up to 2 dollars, then you can withdraw it with paypal. So far, I got 0.40 dollars and 240 tickets in my account in one day, I would continue this to see what will happen eventually. I am Just curious to see if it is true. The site is named InstantCashSweepstakes.Com .

Irish scenery--Cahir Castle, Co Tipperay
The castle was built in County Tipperary in 1142 on an island in the river Suir by Conor O'Brien who is the Prince of Thomond. In 1375, the castle was granted to James Butler, newly-created Baron of Cahir, for his loyalty to Edward III. The Butlers of Cahir sided with the Irish in the Elizabethan wars, and in 1599 the castle was captured after a three day siege by the army of the Earl of Essex and was for a year put under the charge of Sir Charles Blount.
During the Irish Confederate Wars the castle was besieged twice. In 1647 George Mathew, the guardian of the young Lord Cahir, surrendered to Lord Inchiquin following his victory at the battle of Knocknanauss. In 1650 he surrendered again to Oliver Cromwell, during his conquest of Ireland without a shot even being fired.
The Great Hall was partly rebuilt in 1840.
In 1961 the last Lord Cahir died and the castle reverted to the state.

Working on Freelance Projects
There are many places providing freelance jobs. People who have skills and extra time can find jobs there. The large bid-based job boards are good places to start. eLance, Guru, ScriptLance, and sologig are some of the best ones.
Become a Topic Expert

The job of a guide is one part blogger, one part directory curator, and one part columnist. There are always openings for new guides and compensation starts at $725 per month. Guides are paid based on the amount of traffic they bring in and some make in excess of $100,000 per year.
Sell Your Stuff
Becoming an eBay millionaire is far from a piece of cake, but making some extra money in tough economic times is definitely doable. We all have some stuff in the attic that we never use, have outgrown, or just no longer need. Put it up for sale on eBay or Craigslist and make some extra cash. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, after all.
Sell Your Photos
Amateur-produced stock photos are a huge business. Last year iStockPhoto paid out $20.9 million in royalties to contributors. So selling your photos is indeed a possible way to make some extra, passive income, and there are a number of places where you can try to sell your pictures. Such as: Shareapic
Trading Websites
