Where can I apply for online writing jobs?

I know there are paying content writing jobs on the internet because I've done some commissioned articles for eHow.com and I've applied to about.com. I'd love to find more sites like these to apply to, but it's tough, because searching for "online writing jobs" generally yields a bunch of spammy pyramid schemes and so on.

Looking for good crossword puzzle books. I enjoy the Boston Globe puzzles online (alas, no Sundays unless I subscribe) and usually get a kick out of the themed puzzles in the print edition of The Onion.

What do you wish you knew before becoming a landlord?

I've been thinking a lot about buying a property and renting it out. I have a good grasp on a lot of the essentials, but I was hoping for some input from hive mind as to what I should be prepared for, what I should have ready, and how best to handle being a landlord.

How do I find a financially reliable long-term subletter for my rental apartment?

Have you ever had someone else sublease (sublet) your rental apartment, long-term? (Long enough that the person was paying you month-to-month, rather than paying you all in advance?) If so, how did you find a reliable person? Or what happened when you found a bad person??

Every possible storyline

Someone, a long time ago, came up with a list of every possible plot / storyline - the idea being that every work of fiction basically follows one of a limited number of basic formulae (ie. Man gets girl. Man loses girl. Man goes on quest. Man gets girl back) Who wrote this list, and where can I find it? Google fails me.
