This will no doubt change as the game is updated, class stats are tweaked by Bioware and play style changes – but I am loving the Sith Sorcerer class and thus far this seems like the most fun tree to play. I am liking the healing from periodic (damage) spell effects in PVP – though I don’t, yet, want this character to be a healer so I’m only focusing on those boosts to myself. Affliction + Carrying the Huttball.

Get Paid To Read SMS Messages?

Cash Texts is a new way to get paid for receiving SMS text messages. They will send you interesting ads, that’s right, advertisements – and pay you for each one you receive. Be sure they are collecting the difference between what they get paid to send them and what they pay you – but you can collect some scratch by viewing ads (in the form of texts) throughout the day. They also have a recruitment program so you can get paid by getting friends and family in on the deal. One site mentioned that you could easily make a minimum of $7.50 a month for getting these texts. Doesn’t sound bad at all does it? Use the opening link to get started or simply scan the QR Code below to send a text to CashTexts. It’ll let them know I sent you and start the enrollment process. Couldn’t be easier.

SCAN THE QR CODE TO GENERATE A SMS MESSAGE

I see a lot of people promoting this, and was referred myself – and have read various stories on getting paid. The first question everyone has is if this whole thing is a scam. As they say, and rightly do, scams want money – not pay money. I think the biggest thing you have to fear is eventually recruiting so many people that they can no longer pay out – but if they recruit their targets and people are paying them to send these ads – then you will get paid. Seems like a simple business model actually. Get up to five texts a day, seven days a week (you decide) and twice a month they fund an account (1st and 15th).

Do the math yourself. Here is the level scheme for recruitment or referrals – showing the payment for one text going to you and the person who was recruited by someone who was recruited by someone, who was recruiting by someone… etc

I love the entire set of warnings in the instruction set, especially since it starts with: Do NOT save deleted messages on the server. It gets fun in part three, my emphasis.

Do NOT save deleted messages to your [Gmail]/All Mail folder as some clients will try to empty this folder and ultimately fail. This can lead to delayed mail access or excessive battery consumption on a mobile device.

I was rarely checking e-mail, up until a year ago, as it wasn’t a source of communication for me. I was e-mailing assignments to teachers (before I graduated from the diploma mill) and getting newsletters and so forth when I started this account. Now everyone is using e-mail and I get quite a few important updates such as Facebook notifications, etc. But that was just coming in too fast, and I wasn’t good about “deleting” stuff. If you click a link an in e-mail on the iPhone you are taken right to Safari and will likely not go back an archive the message when you get the next chance to do so.

The problem I had was that I like to use the “unread” status, rather keeping things unread, to know that I need to follow up on an item (notorious one at this point is the reminder to file my tax returns!). This works for Outlook at work as you can create a search folder that displays just those unread e-mails – I don’t see a way to do that with Gmail on the iPhone (though I have an idea for how to do so with labels!).

So I needed to clean everything up. Turns out it was an easy process. I started by searching for things that seem to flood my “inbox” but that would have taken hours to find each Crate and Barrel, The Onion, Border Rewards and Facebook e-mail that was ever sent to me.

Instead I did the following:

Searched using the following: label:inbox label:read

Selected all (using the Select: All, None, Read, Unread, Starred, Unstarred shortcuts). Then continuted to select more using the “Select all conversations that match this search” option.

Hit the archive button, confirming I wanted to archive each and every one of those suckers.

Profit!
(Though you’ll notice there is an extra step in there – it can be done differently, but it wasn’t allowing me to archive every one using Select: Unread.)

Then to clean up my unread e-mails:

Starred those 10 e-mails that are sitting there as reminders.

Searched: label:inbox -is:starred
(Notice the minus sign in front of the “is:starred”, this will perform an inverse selection)
“Select all conversations that match this search”

Hit the archive button, confirming I wanted to archive each and every one of those suckers.

Profit!

Now I have 10 e-mails sitting in my inbox that I can easily scan over and the unread reminders are no longer spread out with 25 read pieces of junk in between. Very much for the win. Now I just have to keep up on it. But using the above steps I can just go back maybe once a month and perform some clean up when needed, in just a few minutes (if even a whole minute).

After a drought the Scottish future has changed.  Last night two hundred families were created when 400 European “beavers” were released into the wild beside a bar in Knapdale, Argyllshire and central London’s night district.

For many men, this was a joyful moment, and for the country step in a long battle to recreate the “beaver” biodiversity of recently barren Scotland, lost in large part to centuries of mass migrations. For their opponents — often drawn from the Glasgow LGBT Men’s Division — it was a disaster, a furry threat to the 1 Million Man Fishing Contest.

Beavers return to Scotland after absence of 400 years.
