Hey man...
The ones I know of are :
Getty Images Acclaim Images
These are all images you pay for- but they have a huge selection. I can't say I've ever used any of these companies. Sometimes i like to browse through their sites - and the photos tend to be geared towards graphic designers. I feel illustrators have different needs some instances, so this may not help at all. Hope it does though!

these aren't stock photos, just photo sites

thanks a lot guys, ill look into that. keep em coming!

In my last post, "A closer look at the MySQL ibdata1 disk space issue and big tables," I looked at the growing ibdata1 problem under the perspective of having big tables residing inside the so-called shared tablespace.

On Character Sets and Disappearing Tables
The MySQL manual tells us that regardless of whether or not we use "SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0″ before making schema changes, InnoDB will not allow a column referenced by a foreign key constraint to be modified in such a way that the foreign key will reference a column with a mismatched data type. For instance, if we […]
A case for MariaDB's Hash Joins
MariaDB 5.3/5.5 has introduced a new join type "Hash Joins" which is an implementation of a Classic Block-based Hash Join Algorithm. In this post we will see what the Hash Join is, how it works and for what types of queries would it be the right choice. I will show the results of executing benchmarks […]
How FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK works with Innodb Tables
Many backup tools including Percona Xtrabackup, MyLVMBackup and others use FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK to temporary make MySQL read only. In many cases the period for which server has to be made read only is very short, just few seconds, yet the impact of FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK can be quite large because […]
How well does your table fits in innodb buffer pool ?
Understanding how well your tables and indexes fit to buffer pool are often very helpful to understand why some queries are IO bound and others not – it may be because the tables and indexes they are accessing are not in cache, for example being washed away by other queries. MySQL Server does not provide […]
A workaround for the performance problems of TEMPTABLE views
MySQL supports two different algorithms for views: the MERGE algorithm and the TEMPTABLE algorithm. These two algorithms differ greatly. A view which uses the MERGE algorithm can merge filter conditions into the view query itself. This has significant performance advantages over TEMPTABLE views. A view which uses the TEMPTABLE algorithm will have to compute the […]

Enum Fields VS Varchar VS Int + Joined table: What is Faster?
Really often in customers' application we can see a huge tables with varchar/char fields, with small sets of possible values. These are "state", "gender", "status", "weapon_type", etc, etc. Frequently we suggest to change such fields to use ENUM column type, but is it really necessary (from performance standpoint)? In this post I'd like to present […]
Be careful when joining on CONCAT
The other day I had a case with an awful performance of a rather simple join. It was a join on tb1.vid = CONCAT('prefix-', tb2.id) with tb1.vid – indexed varchar(100) and tb2.id – int(11) column. No matter what I did – forced it to use key, forced a different join order, it did not want […]
Derived Tables and Views Performance
Starting MySQL 4.1, MySQL had support for what is called derived tables, inline views or basically subselects in the from clause. In MySQL 5.0 support for views was added. These features are quite related to each other but how do they compare in terms of performance ?

Place onion halves on a grill 4 to 6 inches above a solid bed of hot coals (you should be able to hold your hand at grill level for no more than 2 to 3 seconds).
Cook for about 7 minutes; turn over.
Lift meat from marinade and drain briefly (reserve marinade).
Place on grill.
Baste meat and onion halves with marinade, using green onion roots as a brush.
Continue to cook onion halves until browned and slightly soft when pressed, 5 to 9 more minutes.
Cook meat, turning once, until browned and done to your liking (cut to test), about 6 minutes for rare.
Place meat and onion halves on a carving board as cooked; cover loosely to keep warm.
As meat cooks, place Frijoles on grill away from main heat; stir often until hot.
Roll onion brush in marinade and lay on grill.
Turn brush often until tops are wilted, 3 to 5 minutes.
Place brush on board; remove string.
Thinly slice meat across the grain.
Let individuals heat their own tortillas on grill, turning often with tongs just until soft, 15 to 30 seconds.
Place a few meat slices down center of each tortilla; top with some Frijoles, a few pieces from onion halves, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cilantro.
Fold up bottom, then fold in sides to enclose.
Eat grilled green onions alongside.

Congress sends child nutrition bill to Obama
AP: More children will eat lunches and dinners at school under legislation passed Thursday by the House and sent to the president, part of first lady Michelle Obama's campaign to end childhood hunger and fight childhood obesity.
The $4.5 billion bill approved by the House 264-157 would also try to cut down on greasy foods and extra calories by giving the government power to decide what kinds of foods may be sold in vending machines and lunch lines….
The first lady said in a statement after the vote that she was "thrilled" about House passage. She called the bill "a groundbreaking piece of bipartisan legislation that will significantly improve the quality of meals that children receive at school."
The Senate passed the legislation in August. Republicans attempted to send the bill back to the Senate on Wednesday — instead of straight to President Barack Obama — by using a procedural maneuver to try and amend it with language that would require background checks for child care workers.
Democrats said the amendment was an attempt to kill the bill in the last few weeks of the congressional session because there would be no time for the Senate to pass it again and send it back to the House. They avoided the Senate detour and gave members of their party political cover by passing the background checks in a separate bill Thursday.

My Unpopular Opinions
By l4wd0g 1 Comments
The school year has started, which means all types of debates, talks, and people losing their minds. Unfortunately for me, I find myself in the minority of the popular opinions. Some of these debates are just ego battles. For example, who really cares who the protagonist is Lord of the Rings. You can make a good argument for almost all of the main characters. In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight we can talk about the symbology, but all of those symbols change with time.
I'm going to start a blog (which will be titled Unpopular Opinion) about the other debates, more meaningful to life, and not just flaunting knowledge. So, if you want to read them, I'll be posting them soon. They aren't flame bait. It's to bring up discussion and see how our opinions differ and why. Skeptics make the world a better place.
Also, I know the title is a fragmented sentence, but I like it.

This Week at 148Apps:June 22-26, 2015
June's Summer Journey Continues With 148Apps
How do you know what apps are worth your time and money? Just look to the review team at 148Apps. We sort through the chaos and find the apps you're looking for. The ones we love become Editor's Choice, standing out above the many good apps and games with something just a little bit more to offer. Take a look at what we've been up to this week, and find even more in our Reviews Archive.
LightRunner Armband
The LightRunner armband is about what you'd expect from a typical armband meant for running - at least I think, but I'm hardly an expert on running equipment - but it does offer a couple of useful features that could give it an edge. Mostly because of how it uses a protective layer to guard your iPhone or iPod from scratches while still letting you use the touch screen, and because it can light up to make nighttime jogs a bit safer. It's a pretty well-constructed band that keeps your device secure while also allowing access to the headphone jack if you need it. I feel it's a bit on the bulky side, but seeing as it's meant to fit 11 different kinds of smartphones (from the iPhone 5 to the Moto X) I'm not sure there's much they could've trimmed off. It might take some getting used to, but it works. --Rob Rich
Fallout Shelter
In preparation for Fallout 4's release this fall, Bethesda announced thatr they had also been working on a mobile title named Fallout Shelter. It's largely a management tapper like Tiny Tower, though it feels distinctly more like a Fallout wasteland scenario and less like a knockoff free-to-play experience. Fallout Shelter may not be for everyone, and it may seem like it misses a few opportunities, but it's a very interesting experience.Fallout Shelter lets players see what it would be like to be the overseer of a vault in the Fallout universe. Essentially this just means they're in charge of building a vault that provides safety and happiness for the dwellers within it. Much like Tiny Tower, players can expect to build additional rooms, match dwellers with jobs that make them happy, and collect resources.--Campbell Bird
Papaly Bookmark Manager
On the surface, Papaly Bookmark Manager sounds like something that isn't really needed in a world of Instapaper and Pocket. In reality, it's a very different kind of thing.It's a way of organizing your links, but it also means that you can easily share them, according to subject, with other users. In that respect, it's almost like a community. You can opt to simply import your links from social media and keep them safe, but you can also view many other selections. There's a category devoted to gaming sites, for instance, as well as news sources.--Jennifer Allen
Her Story
At first glance, Her Story doesn't seem like much. It emulates the look and feel of seaching a police database from 1994 on an old Windows desktop - down to the horror of that teal background and ugly interface. There are only six things to click on and no real action to speak of. And yet, there is something strikingly compelling about it all. Sam Barlow, creator of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and Aisle, has brought his storytelling expertise to this interactive narrative. The entire game revolves around searching through clips of several videos of the police speaking with someone named Hannah Smith. --Jessica Fisher
I had my first experience with Whitaker Trebella's Piloteer several months ago during GDC, and my opinion hasn't changed much (read: at all) since then. It's still super-awkward to control, it's still incredibly difficult, and it's still ridiculously fun.You control a nameless (but you get to name her so I guess she's technically not nameless) inventor who's just made the world's first jetpack. Since she presumably doesn't have the same knack for PR as she does for tinkering, she's going to have to pull off some impressive stunts in order to convince the rest of the world that she's on to something. This is, of course, much easier said than done. --Rob Rich
Other 148Apps Network Sites
If you are looking for the best reviews of Android apps, just head right over to AndroidRundown. Here are just some of the reviews served up this week:
EA Sports UFC
If anyone should try to tackle a sports sim, it should be EA Sports. And tackle fighting it did with EA SPORTS UFC.Somehow, the tutorial is quite enjoyable on it's own. It's of the hands-on variety, so one is able to learn while doing with visual cues that help folks to understand the control system — which incorporates gestures and swipes to control the basics. With said tutorial we see attacks and special attacks, defensive maneuvers, take-downs and even submissions. The controls require dexterity and a keen eye, as there are times a very precise tap is needed. The teaching tool also doesn't clear until one is able to execute the moves proficiently.--Tre Lawrence
Spider Square
We did wonder just what Spider Square is all about. What better way to find out than to, well, play it?Graphically, it looks like a basic affair; the game uses bright splotches of pastels, and is presented in 2D form. The animations are crisp, and as we see when we get into the action, the colors do frame the gameplay quite well.When we say "simple" with regards to the gameplay, we mean just that. The idea is so easy to grasp, the game barely needs a formal tutorial. It's an arcade game that is delightfully cloaked as a platformer. The action "moves" from left to right, and the main concept is to get a square, uh, spider(?) to keep moving rightwards (forward) for as long as possible. The main tool is a rope, and the cube moves by swinging from said rope attached to the roof of the playing area. The kicker is that the cube can't touch the floor or ceiling.--Tre Lawrence
Alphabetty Saga
Yes, Alphabetty Saga is a word game, but clearly wants folks to know it is more than simply that; it packs in elements across the board, from Scrabble, word search, matching, and even a lit bit of Tetris-y gravity play… and then some. It does a lot, which helps it come out the gate strong.At first glance, it's easy to see developer King's handprint on the visuals. The game employs bright colors and graphics that lean towards the whimsical without necessarily stumbling into the cartoonish. As a word game, it relies heavily on tiles, but the developer isn't so jaded as to forget splashing character into the background. It's a vivid presentation, and it mostly works in the plying area, which usually consists of random word tiles.--Tre Lawrence
All this, plus news, game guides and even more reviews than we can share here!
World of Tanks Blitz celebrates its first anniversary with special in-game events
Today marks the first anniversary of the launch of World of Tanks Blitz, the mobile version of the PC tank battler, World of Tanks.
World of Tanks Blitz launched on iOS and Android on June 26th last year and to celebrate, Wargaming is giving all players a special tank as a gift.
There'll also be daily challenges that players can compete in for prizes as well as a livestream on Twitch complete with giveaways to those who turn up.
World of Tanks Blitz is a free-to-play tank battler in which players take control of swift light tanks, jack-of-all-trades medium tanks, or almighty heavy tanks and head out into battle against opposing players.
The controls have been completely redesigned for touch and the whole game can be played with just two thumbs. That doesn't mean the core game has been simplified though - all the depth of the PC original remains.
You can also play using the same account on both iOS and Android with all of your in-game progress and achievements intact as well as play against players on all platforms with cross-platform support.
World of Tanks Blitz is available now in the App Store [download] and Google Play [download].

Now is the best time to try League of Angels - Fire Raiders
League of Angels - Fire Raiders is the mobile sequel to the hit Facebook MMORPG League of Angels and is out now on iOS and Android.
There are over a hundred beautifully hand-drawn heroes and angels to collect that each possess their own unique special effects when using skills.
You'll need to figure out the best combination of these and level them up, teach them new skills, and upgrade their equipment to create an all-conquering team of angels and heroes.
Sometimes, even the best team won't suffice though. Different enemies require different strategies so you'll need to switch up your approach and use the best team for that current situation if you find yourself stuck.
Battling comes in many different forms. The PvE modes include a single player plot to follow, team dungeons, and mini-games while PvP offers cross-server arena battles and Island Raid.
Island Raid is a guild versus guild mode that assigns each guild a resource-producing island that you and your guild must protect. Of course, you can also become raiders yourselves and take the fight to opposing guild's islands.
Also, twice a week a World Boss appears somewhere on the vast ocean and all players must cease fighting for a moment to team up and bring it down. The more damage you deal, the greater the rewards.
Download League of Angels - Fire Raiders right now from the App Store [download] and Google Play [download] to receive a free beginner's pack worth $15 as part of an exciting temporary event in which players must race to level up, earning gift packs at levels 15, 35, and 45.
With exciting events like this every week and a constant stream of updates, now really is the best time to try League of Angels - Fire Raiders.

Riff the Robot - Tips, Tricks, and Strategies for Flinging That Robot
[Not sure if you want to riff on this particular robot? Have a look at our Riff the Robot review.]
So, you've just downloaded Riff the Robot and you need some help? Don't worry, here are some great tips and tricks for beginners. They're sure to give you the edge when going for those high scores, as well as help with deciphering some of the scoring system.
The basics
- This isn't like Peggle. Riff the Robot is more skills based - Remember that once you've launched Riff, you can still manipulate him by using his thrusters. Tapping left or right at key moments can make all the difference to maintaining a steady run and acquiring plenty of points. It's a little tricky at first, but it really does help in the long term.
- Thrusters are particularly handy when you've missed the catapult - You've got a chance of being saved by the portal but only if you land on it. This is where careful tapping of the thrusters can really save you from losing your life.
- Remember that you've only got one life. Don't waste it - Often, you don't have to worry about a timer, so line those shots up well for maximum efficiency.

Cold weather is coming.
And ice may accompany it, according to the National Weather Service's Norman Forecast Office.
"We are very certain that the cold air will arrive Thursday and Thursday night with wind chill values primarily in the teens and 20s Friday and Friday night," said Kevin Brown, a senior forecaster with the Norman Forecast Office. "With new data coming in, we think that this winter-weather event could be a bigger problem with more areas potentially seeing ice accumulation of 1/10th of an inch, with a few locations getting more."

MANGROVES may be the unlikely winners from Australia's recent floods, benefitting from the nutrient-rich sediment that was washed into their forests.
So says Catherine Lovelock of the University of Queensland in St Lucia, Australia, whose team was recording how mangroves in Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia, respond to artificial phosphorus and nitrogen fertilisation when cyclone Pancho hit the area in 2008.
Before the cyclone, the trees' stems grew by less than 25 centimetres per year. After the cyclone, however, some stems shot up by 65 centimetres per year, thanks to floodwaters washing in soils enriched with nutrients from agricultural products. The team's preliminary results were presented at last year's International Congress of Ecology in Brisbane.
Lovelock says sediment is already collecting in mangroves around Moreton bay, Queensland, following the recent floods and suggests that they, too, will experience a growth spurt.
Coastal water habitats are less likely to benefit, though. Michele Burford of Griffith University in Nathan, Australia, fears the sediment may stimulate algal growth in Moreton bay, which could lead to oxygen-starved dead zones similar to those seen in the Gulf of Mexico in the wake of last year's oil leak. "Already, the algae are growing faster," she says.

I want to explore life and all it has to offer, who's coming with me? I love being outdoors, being active-getting sweaty, yoga, & staying healthy are a must in my life. As much as I enjoy being out and about I am also just as happy staying in, watching movies, and cooking a healthy meal. Discovering new spots to eat, great conversation, going to the beach, bbqing with great friends, having a glass of wine or a cup of coffee by the beach, baseball/football games, & driving up our beautiful coast for the day are a few of my favorite things... I have a positive outlook on life and surround myself with people that continue to bring positive energy, experiences, and memories into my world. About Him: down to earth, funny, ambitious, active, enjoys getting sweaty, but cleans up well, and is a true gentleman...do you exist?

Only used 3 weeks in France. Reason for sale is that I now do credit card touring only (get further, sleep better)
Specs and pics:
Cost me over £300 so a sale price of £150 is fair I think.
Located in Looe, Cornwall but can be posted at buyers cost

I guess this story does not bother me. At least we can laugh at this "nut".
The last time we heard stories about White Castle in Cincy was when a drug addict went bonkers on the police in a White Castle parking lot at 4:00 am after worlkers called the police b/c of the man's odd behavior. Then he got tasered... then his heart stopped beating... then he died. Then people wanted to blame the police... despite the fact that the man was drugged-up, acting crazy in public and weighed about 400 pounds.
I'll take "vampires" protesting for the undead over real deaths. And make that protester's slider rare... bloody rare, I say!

Re: Official RAGE Feedback Thread
This is not a surprise at all. CliffyB struck when the iron was hot years ago by developing a game engine that was essentially optimized for consoles. Look at all the successful unreal engine games on consoles! Too many to count.
Carmack is late to the party but at the party of console optimized game engines none the less.
His number 1 priority is to make money. Make no mistake of that. If he can build a game engine that will yield good performance on the consoles and (as he stresses so heavily) is easy to develop and build game using the engine/megatextures, he's pitching his product HEAVILY to companies that want an alternative to the unreal engine to build a game for consoles.
It wasn't until recently that he realized he may have taken it too far though.
To his credit, at least he admits it unlike cliffyb who basically said screw you to the PC game market.

And finally, they are one of the few big advertisers in their category. I bet you can't name any other of the top five web-hosting providers. The other advertisers don't have sex as their primary marketing strategy. They have pulled it out for the Super Bowl as a special tact for this occasion. If you take a look at the top 15 Super Bowl commercials of all time you'll find that sex only finds the list twice: Joe Namath and Farah Fawcett for Noxzema and Cindy Crawford for Pepsi. The Xerox Monk, Mean Joe Greene for Coke, Apple's breakthrough 1984 ad, Michael Jordan and Larry Byrd playing one-on-one for McDonalds, The Budweiser Frogs, Monster.com's cinematic "When I grow Up", E*TRADE's Monkeys, EDS's Cat Herders, Linebacker Terry Tate for Reebok, Budweiser's Clydesdales, Brad Pitt for Heineken and Betty White for Snickers all won with humor and star power. And each (with varying degrees of success) manages to connect the activity on the screen to a product attribute.
I suspect that like in years past this year's attempts to use sex will be middle-of-the road efforts that might catch your eye but fail to connect with audience at the deeper level needed to initiate a sell or spur consumer brand interest. The strategic problem that is almost impossible to overcome when using this tactic is that connecting a brand benefit to sex is a long shot unless like the professor says that's what you're selling.

everything's good
I don't really know why I am here, I suppose to find someone who likes to have a good time and try new things. Not looking to rush into anything, just seeing what is out there. Preferably someone who is active, creative, likes to laugh, a bit sarcastic, easy going, chill. A bit about myself... I own a business that teaches at-risk and urban students math and literacy using music production, it's a lot of fun. I am also a creative person (animation, graphic design, web design, etc) and I produce music. I enjoy watching football and basketball (during the playoffs) and soccer. Looking forward World Cup 2014. I am active, I am doing P90X, Insanity, wall climbing, in the gym, etc. at least 5 times a week. I believe that if you keep your mind, body, and soul in order than everything will fall into place. I don't eat pork or red meat, and only drink on occasion. Not huge on the club scene and going out all the time, eventually you just grow out of things and that is something that I have grown out of. I prefer going out to a nice dinner or cooking and having a chill evening at home over staying out until 6 AM any day. I have a diverse group of friends. I am an aspiring foodie, I lived in Koreatown in LA for 3 years so I know what I real taco is supposed to be like and I love KBBQ. I also love Pho, real Chinese food, Indian food, etc. I love good conversations. Prefer to listen over talking. Prefer to read over watching TV. I love trying new things and putting others onto new things. I am starting to travel more, been to Brazil, Mexico. the Bahamas, Honduras, Belize and the Grand Cayman Islands. Currently I am planning a solo trip to Europe and would love to see Asia, Africa and more of S. America asap. Other than that, just feel free to ask :-)

Music: Little Dragon, Outkast, Vampire Weekend, Electric Guest, Passion Pit, SBTRKT, Toro y Moi, John Mayer, Chance the Rapper, Old school soul, 90s hip-hop and r&b? TV: Parks and Rec, Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire
I love trying new things, recently starting wall climbing, its a challenge for sure. I enjoy eating out, good conversation, travel, live shows and concerts, etc.
I am currently reading Linchpins by Seth Godin. I love good marketing and business books, as well as books about being creative.

WALLA WALLA -- A Walla Walla man was arrested Saturday after attempting to take an ATM card from a bank customer, authorities said. Andrew S. Loughlin, 25, of 201 McAuliff St., was booked into Walla Walla County Jail on suspicion of second-degree attempted theft and second-degree attempted robbery.
Loughlin is believed to have tried to rob a customer who going to access the Banner Bank cash machine, 600 W. Ninth Ave., about 4:50 p.m., according to a Walla Walla Police Department report.
Detective Marlon Calton said the bank customer was in his vehicle and going to get money from an automatic cash machine when the suspect approached his vehicle and tried to get his ATM card.
The man was able to back up and roll up his window, and when it seemed that the suspect might try to enter the vehicle, the man drove to a bank teller's drive-up window and reported what had happened.
Police detained Loughlin nearby after he matched the suspect description, and he was taken to jail. Calton said the customer was not injured, no weapons were involved and no property was taken.
