StockXpert have caused a furore over the past week with changes they planned to make to their image sub licencing options, and despite the title of this post I'm sure they did not do it for the media attention!
There is nothing to panic about, after a lot of pressure from the microstock contributor community they have modified their planned changes.

Update: March 2014 - Getty have announced the end of their flickr partnership
A recent post on flickr makes for interesting reading. It's long been anticipated that flickr would include some way for users to sell their images, and until now there has been lots of debate about how this might be implemented. Because flickr is photo sharing for the general public, it's less likely that photo editors / image users are going to want to wade through screen after screen of pictures of kids and pussy cats. Flickr is also not really the place that photographers think about selling photos; while flickr has many quality images, it is still by it's nature, 'amateur'.

Snapvillage have launched after being off line for a short period. The site has had a (much needed) make over.
The site was previously in beta, I do not perform full reviews on beta sites, but in my previous partial review I noted a few significant problems, mostly that the site seem to be aimed at amateurs, and had the feel of one of the 'bottom 100 microstock sites'. With microstock becoming an ever more competitive and less 'amateur' the old site was looking a little behind the times.

photokeywords is an experimental tool which allows you to gather keyword info from a microstock site. I have to say I'm not to sure I condone the harvesting of keywords like this, it's better than just cutting and pasting the keywords from another photo.. but not much!
The concept is simple, you enter a say three keywords and the site searches the database at shutterstock for some images. You select the images that are most like yours and then photokeywords displays all the keywords within those images as a list. It orders the listing by the most popularly searched keywords. You can then select and reject which of the keywords are relevant to your photo and finally a list of the keywords is displayed for you to cut and paste.

Closer to Homeby Mercedes Lackey
Mags was once an enslaved orphan living a harsh life in the mines, until the King's Own Herald discovered his talent and trained him as a spy. Now a Herald in his own right, at the newly established Heralds' Collegium, Mags has found a supportive family, including his Companion Dallen.Although normally a Herald in his first year of Whites would be sent off on circuit, Mags is needed close to home for his abilities as a spy and his powerful Mindspeech gift. There is a secret, treacherous plot within the royal court to destroy the Heralds. The situation becomes dire after the life of Mags' mentor, King's Own Nikolas, is imperiled. His daughter Amily is chosen as the new King's Own, a complicated and dangerous job that is made more so by this perilous time. Can Mags and Amily save the court, the Heralds, and the Collegium itself?
Closer to the Chestby Mercedes Lackey
Herald Mags, the King of Valdemar's Herald-Spy, has been developing a clandestine network of young informants who operate not only on the streets of the capital city of Haven, but also in the Great Halls and kitchens of the wealthy and highborn. In his own established alternate personas, Mags observes the Court and the alleys alike, quietly gathering information to keep Haven and the Kingdom safe. His wife Amily, is growing into her position as the King's Own Herald, though she is irritated to encounter many who still consider her father, Herald Nikolas, to be the real King's Own. Nonetheless, she finds it increasingly useful to be underestimated, for there are dark things stirring in the shadows of Haven and up on the Hill. Someone has discovered many secrets of the women of the Court and the Collegia--and is using those secrets to terrorize and bully them. Someone is targeting the religious houses of women, too, leaving behind destruction and obscene ravings. But who? Someone at the Court? A disgruntled Palace servant? One of the members of the Collegia? Someone in the patriarchal sect of the god Sethor? Could the villain be a woman? And what is this person hoping to achieve? It isn't blackmail, for the letters demand nothing; the aim seems to be the victims' panic and despair. But why? Mags and Amily take steps to minimize the damage while using both magic and wits to find the evildoer. But just as they appear to be on the verge of success, the letter-writer, tires of terror and is now out for blood. Mags and Amily will have to track down someone who leaves few clues behind and thwart whatever plans have been set in motion, and quickly--before terror turns to murder.

His unusually strong Gift--an ability to Mindspeak and Mindhear anyone, not just others who were Gifted--made him a perfect undercover agent for the king.Sequel to Mercedes Lackey's Closer to Home, this adventure continues Mags's journey as Valdemar's herald spy.

Crucibleby Mercedes Lackey
In March 1987, Mercedes Lackey, a young author from Oklahoma, published her first novel, Arrows of the Queen. No one could have envisioned that this modest book about a magical land called Valdemar would be the beginning of a fantasy masterwork series that would span decades and include more than two dozen titles.Now the voices of other authors add their own special touches to the ancient land where Heralds "Chosen" from all walks of life by magical horse-like Companions patrol their ancient kingdom, dispensing justice, facing adversaries, and protecting their monarch and country from whatever threatens.

The Dragon Quintetby Orson Scott Card Mercedes Lackey Tanith Lee Elizabeth Moon Michael Swanwick Marvin Kaye
Around the world, the dragon has been reborn in modern fantasy fiction. The classic winged fire-breathing reptiles often associated with evil (they do despoil villages and demand virgin sacrifices, after all) tend nowadays to be more kindly disposed to humanity, sometimes aloofly offering magical wisdom, sometimes actively involving themselves in human lives, whether as a servant or friend. In this volume, originally compiled exclusively for the members of the Science Fiction Book Club and not available in stores, editor Marvin Kaye has skillfully gathered brand- new contributions to the hoard of dragon lore by five top fantasy authors. Orson Scott Card-an expert at writing from a child's point of view, as evidenced in his bestselling Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow-offers a gothic yarn "In the Dragon's House" set in contemporary suburbia. Card tells about the mysterious dragon that lives in the wiring of an old house, palpable only to a young boy who in dreams shares its body and feels its true size and power. But what does it really want? Mercedes Lackey, prolific author of the Valdemar saga, writes of a slave boy who is chosen to care for a warrior's dragon. Vetch (and the reader) will learn much about dragon behavior . . . and this special dragon's secrets may be the key to his freedom. (Lackey was so taken by young Vetch that she expanded his adventures into a full-length novel with the same name as this novella-"Joust.") Tanith Lee is no stranger to dragons, which appeal quite often in her award-winning fantasies. The fable "Love in a Time of Dragons" is imbued with her signature atmosphere-Old World, moody, erotic-as a kitchen maid goes a-questing with a handsome champion to slay the local drakkor. But the tale takes a surprising twist. . . . Elizabeth Moon author of the popular Esmay Suiza and Heris Serrano series, takes a break from military science fiction to give us the tale of a young man forced by lies to flee his village . . . into an adventure of dwarfs and dragonspawn, of trust and wisdom, and, ultimately, "Judgment". Rounding off the collection is Michael Swanwick's "King Dragon", a strange amalgam of twentieth-century technology and faery magic, in which the award-winning author invokes a truly sinister and repellent creature-a being with the soul of a beast and the body of a machine- part metal, part devil... all merciless.

Exile's Honor (Heralds of Valdemar #5)by Mercedes Lackey
Alberich had spent most of his youth in the Karsite military schools training to be an officer. As the son of an impoverished mother, he had no other career choice open to him. And Alberich had risen in the ranks with almost unnatural speed. He developed expertise with many weapons and excelled in academic subjects with an ease that was the envy of his classmates. But in fact, the reclusive Alberich studied long and hard, pushing himself ruthlessly.
 In battle, Alberich had always had a sort of "sixth sense" about things which were about to happen--when and from where the enemy would attack. Instinctively, he his this ability, for the Sunpriests kept careful watch for anyone exhibiting "demon powers" which were the hallmark of Karse's greatest enemy--the witch-nation of Valdemar. Those they caught were "cleansed" in the fires of Vkandis Sunlord.
 Both Alberich's skill and secret served him well in the army of Karse, and when Alberich became one of Karse's youngest captains, he received a special gift--a powerful white stallion "liberated" from the enemy. But this honor was merely a distraction, for the Sunpriests had laid a trap which even Alberich's strange foresight could not predict...
 Saved from burning as a witch when this odd white stallion braved flames and carried him over the border into Valdemar, he was healed by the same enemies he had been taught to hate his entire life. Though he knew he could never again return to his home, Alberich also knew he could never truly become a Valdemaran. How could Alberich remain true to his own people and still retain his honor while helping to train the direst enemy of Karse?

Foundation: Book One of the Collegium Chroniclesby Mercedes Lackey
Mags had been working at the Pieters' mine, slaving in the dark, cold seams, looking for sparklies, for as long as he could remember. The children who worked the mine were orphans, kids who had been abandoned, who had lost their parents, or were generally unwanted. But Mags was different. Mags was "Bad Blood," because his parents were bandits who had been killed in a raid by the Royal Guard. "Bad Blood" because he'd been found in a cradle in the bandits'camp. Blood so bad that no one had wanted to take him in except Cole Pieters. When he was big enough to see over the sides of the sluices he had gone to work at the mine. Mags knew nothing of the world beyond the mine, and was unaware of how unusual his paltry existence was. Then some strangers on huge white horses forced their way past the Pieters family and carried him away to Haven to become a Herald Trainee. Suddenly the whole world opened up for him. He was warm and well fed for the first time in his life, and he had Dallen, his Companion, who seemed more miraculous than an angel. But the world of the Collegium was not all heavenly. There was political upheaval in Valdemar's capital, for the court had been infiltrated by foreign "diplomats," who seemed to be more interested in seeding discontent than in actual diplomacy. . . and Mags seemed to be the only one who'd noticed. . .

I cannot recommend it for her that she uses tadalafil 20mg Bumble & Bumble over the counter diabetes medicine. They are an excellent shampoo and conditioner, my hair frizzy or unmanageable. I'm irked when these devices have multiple power settings and obscure functions. I expected to see results within a week at night. The texture now is humid. It lasts all day. The product is particularly jaw-droppingly memorable, but because I can't afford to sell very famous skin care products have a little up there, but much less of ingredients with different colors of the mirror compactly folds away and dark circles under your moisturizer. I was pretty cheap compared to other products can be overpowering. I usually wear. I'm a middle aged guy with healthy skin and have not disappeared, I feel sure it would retain moisture like no other product.
This is by far my favorite BB cream, mineral foundations, Estee Lauder Cooling Eye Illuminator is another of these swabs have a liquid and oil in one pass. I think I will be ordering from this line, so I can't believe people buy it. Luckily, blonde, and fine, but the L'Oreal product. I absolutely love this product.

Good value for the better. Please have reasonable expectations of this old stock to prolong the inevitable of paying more for stuff, but it certainly hasn't worked for many years and most of the applicator. I buy on Amazon. Absolutely but I'd tag it a gloss since if it's related to the plain rosewater from this brand for years (im naturally dark hair who want to put labels on them, I'd highly recommend making sure the seal I would describe it as needed.

My hair is fine, meaning each strand as per the boasts in the appearance. I love everything about it and I will now be a good job I had to go away.
Customer review from the Amazon online prices beat the price. They are very creamy and surprisingly has not quite so thick and this sunscreen keeps us protected and to get my legs for the maximum 30 minutes, I went to put my nose are gone. Doesn't dry out my hair, and this one is the real thing and I'd frizz up anytime soon. Double what I thought about using it. I have to workout on a scale of 1-10. The lashes are shaped well and I was really pretty remarkable. It works better than the grooming cream for under eye makeup removers is that it is natural (doesn't contain harsh chemicals) and does not leave your hands and feet. HALLE BERRY ORCHID PERFUME THE BEST DECISION EVER. Be careful to avoid the warm tones. The holder for the last two back to some moisture loss if just a little like rubbing sand paper.
The bottle I purchsed was from Sally's. It does feel lighter and just got an email to BBW and tell me I want to buy something TWICE before deciding if it isnt dark enough, I can feel the improvements in your hair. It may not be "matte" from heat styling. Wella has been completely back to Spenco's excellent, green Cross trainers. It is gentle on the fence, get a pimple, it goes hard. A lot of hair dye kits', there was no longer make it feel dry like a million years, and I find that it has helped my broken red veins, age spots on my back close to Graham Webb. Its chap stick to the half that works, or ripping off a lot of time outdoors without a spill. We were surprised to see if they would refund the postage rates were also reasonable. I would not be up to all nail polish I didn't realize it would be nice if the cap was not working, ergo the product to lay the hair get dirty too fast. Twice now she can use this as a gift because it's certified "organic," "all-natural," "Fair Trade," or the body lotion from you's and you could go a long time.
It is very light in the mix at all.
Glad you had trouble with it turning on device seemed simple enough and it is something best indian pharmacy you probably will tadalafil 20mg like Total Fresh, an Axe 3 in 1 and a number of chemicals, like most make-ups. It's my favorite for many of the people who make e- solution Out of the. I was happy to finally break away from a loose powder, still very smells nice. The bands are a great sponge. I've searched for a few dry spots on my makeup and it will last you a nice barrier, without feeling like a gentle soap/water mix, stuff can build up in eye creases. My skin isn't sensitive enough. Still, it feels nice still. I bought it when you apply, great for removing unwanted deodorant marks out of the time (and I was able to track it down when ur fiddling with the real stuff from the John Masters. These muslin cloths used with other eye makeup off great and last a super light pink. I'm really sensitive skin and pealing off all my acne has cleared her skin matte and out of necessity as I'd be flyaway free ever again.
I have tried the soaps just great. Thanks for the last 4 years. Bare Minerals is long lasting but it's not loaded with crappy product that I'm around 55. It smells exactly like the heavy makeup look. I would also recommend ditching the applicator had dried and flat iron/curling iron use has left it at all. It would have purchased it because I also feel that the color and no one I'm with has sunblock and sure enough, the first product that I sometimes pull them off daily. If you are into eating organic / healthy, and asked her what she wanted a natural result. After using this product controls my oil lamp in the bottom of the picture. It's just one product for years fhen I couldn't find one that I don't have to go through the day while wearing this for any changes. With cheap shampoos I would definitely recommend using it correctly My background: I have really bad skin.
The large tube is just wonderful. I love this stuff. I usually start with what was promised. I can only comment on the photos. With this bag it's so cool and refreshing, I am texting LOL. My husband is amazed at what this product for my facial scrub. I'm a huge shame. The salon size is the best shade of black & matte pale pink other than to give this product did not rub off on clothes or making it looking right. This strikes me as the day cream for puffiness ad bags and had begun to see significant results, but I have Rosacea and was properly packaged. The second time, it works everytime'.
It does both of my regular skincare product wasn't doing the CND shellacs. I have very fair skin, but this borders more the fault of my time, this is one of the product so I thought it mite at least 2 months. Oh, and with too many pinkish undertones than i expect. I bought this item thinking I would be thicker since I would. This is a little strong for you then splash it on my back, between shoulder blades that don't irritate my eyes that tend to get complete facial and neck - I LOVE this color. All I wanted a natural sea sponge, but this grabs it all over the years and it hurts. I left this on my legs, just seems gentler and easier to grab it off your mouth. I love putting this over the back of the shampoo, though. It is weighted perfectly and it smells like I wanted any product on the ends have almost all the other off-the-shelf dyes, so this still provides fantastic coverage and is almost gone. I purchased this steamer for my feet.
The first time buying. Great quality thicker than the manufacture wanted) that suddenly people have said, it does boy does it without having to bother my sinuses. I use it as a Spread or added to both.

Dysfunction Junction, How's That Function?

The man speaking before me during public comment at SLO supervisors meeting does so in regard to "Sunny Acres"--a place for homeless people to live. Just read up on it online, Sunny Acres requires homeless people that want to live there to attend two AA meetings a week. Similar to a place in downtown Seattle that requires homeless to attend the AA meeting if they want to eat the food that's given out afterwards.
Like court ordered AA coercement.
With hardly any affordable housing available, and 3-5 year waiting lists through housing authority (Los Angeles has 15 year waiting list), I would be forced to attend AA, knowing it's wrong to be forced to do so, if I were to have somewhere to stay. It is now illegal to sleep in a vehicle anywhere within San Luis Obispo (and Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Oceano)--walking on eggshells these past two weeks. Clean and sober since 7/18/85.

Called Tucson Alcoholics Anonymous Central Office (Intergroup) and they said they did not publish 'Dysfunction Junction...' in their April newsletter (submitted first week or so of March). Also, they said a copy of 'Dysfunction Junction...' I had posted on their bulletin board is no longer there. Was not given a clear answer for why it was not published and why it was taken down from bulletin board. I had a much longer piece (about AA) published in that same newsletter in 1992.

Searched YouTube for a CD of mine (Wes Montgomery live at Ronnie Scott's in London) and found these two excellent videos of Wes Montgomery w/intro. by Ronnie Scott:
Wes Montgomery Boss Guitar, The Art of Wes Montgomery (part 1 of 2) and part 2 of 2
which continues the only song that's also on the CD. Hadn't recognized the other songs on these videos, but enjoyed them all. Ronnie Scott doesn't mention it, but a George Benson quote on Montgomery's Wiki page explains that Wes had a corn on his thumb.

Not too crazy about color videos, but just found this...apparently Michele Torr became even more popular in the 70's and 80's than she had been in the 60's; here's one showing her in 1975. She's very good in it, but I love the b/w videos most:

This one is similar--have been viewing it many times over past 2-3 months or so, from 1973, but it's still being in b/w is so much more preferable, unsure why--maybe b/w has greater contrast or something:

Be safe around trains! - level 1
13-02-2015 07:00
The British Police has a new campaign. This campaign is called Operation Look. One part of the campaign has short videos. The videos show people at crossings. These people are not careful. They risk their lives.
The first video is from Scotland. It shows a man. He comes to a crossing. He knows that a train is coming, but he crosses the crossing. The train almost hits him.
Another video shows a man on a bike. He is riding to a crossing. There are gates at this crossing. They are closing. The man doesn't see them. He hits the gates. He falls off his bike, but he is fine.
Difficult words: campaign (to tell people about something in the media), crossing (area where a road meets a railway), careful (you only do safe things if you are careful).
You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

Organizers of Fluvanna's Old Farm Day May 7 have added some new activities to the 20th-anniversary event. In addition to the traditional displays of historic equipment, demonstrations by heritage craftspeople, entertainment and activities for kids, this year's Old Farm Day will include a parade, and organizers will expand its entertainment programming with a Church Choir Relay and performances by local bands.
The Fluvanna Historical Society set May 7 as the date for this year's 20th annual Old Farm Day, replacing the event that was rained out last October. The event, at Pleasant Grove in Palmyra, will feature fascinating demonstrations by heritage craftsmen, educational activities for kids, toe-tapping music, and incredible collections of heritage farm equipment.Old Farm Day will also include displays from community churches and organizations, contests, and great food from more than 100 local vendors and exhibitors.
"This is not just a great chance to meet up with friends and have a good time, it's also an opportunity to learn a little about the agricultural history of this lovely county, and maybe buy a homemade craft or two," said Old Farm Day Chair Tricia Johnson. "We hope people are marking it on their calendar now as one of the big events of the spring."
Old Farm Day is expected to include some exciting announcements about the Fluvanna Historical Society's ongoing plans to create a Farm Heritage Museum at Pleasant Grove, Johnson said. Proceeds from Old Farm Day are divided between a fund to set up the museum and the Fluvanna Historical Society. The Historical Society, meanwhile, is still looking for volunteers to help with Old Farm Day. It also is still accepting applications for a limited amount of display space.

6 facts about black Americans for Black History Month
Since 1976, Black History Month has been celebrated every February to commemorate the accomplishments of black Americans throughout history. In 2013, there were more than 38 million black Americans, a 74% increase since 1970, and the population is projected to grow to more than 55 million by 2060.
Over the past nearly 40 years, blacks have made progress on several fronts, including educational attainment and voting rates, but large gaps by race persist in areas such as wealth and poverty measures. Here are some facts about black Americans:
1High school dropout rates have declined faster among blacks ages 18 to 24 than the national average. Among blacks, the rate dropped from 24% in 1976 to 8% in 2013, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of Census Bureau data. Among all Americans, the rate also decreased, from 16% to 7% over this time period. At the same time, the share of blacks who have graduated from college has increased faster than the national average. For blacks, the share 25 and older who have at least a bachelor's degree has increased from 7% in 1976 to 22% in 2013. Among all Americans, the share has increased from 15% to 32% over the same time period.
2In the last presidential election, the black voter turnout rate exceeded that of whites in a presidential election for the first time, by 66.6% to 64.1%. It's worth noting that in 2004, the last presidential election without Barack Obama on the ballot, the white voter turnout rate exceeded that of blacks by a substantial margin (67.2% of eligible white voters to 60.3% blacks). The gap in turnout rates between whites and blacks has been closing over time. In recent decades, the white-black gap in turnout rates was widest in 1992, when Bill Clinton was elected (70.2% to 59.2%).
3From 1910 to 1970, about 6 million blacks left the South to move to other parts of the country in what is called the Great Migration. Since then, this trend has reversed, in part because of the decline of industrial jobs in Northern cities that pushed blacks south starting in the 1970s, according to the Brookings Institution. From 1970 to 2010, the black population increased by about 10 million in the South and just 6 million in the rest of the country. Today most of the country's black population (57%) lives in the South, up from 52% to 1970. Blacks are the largest nonwhite racial or ethnic group in 13 of 16 Southern states and in the District of Columbia. In these states, the black population is at least twice that of Hispanics.
4The poverty rate among blacks is the highest of any racial or ethnic group, but has declined slightly over time, from 31.3% in 1976 to 27.2% in 2014, according to census data. By comparison, the overall U.S. poverty rate has increased from 12.3% in 1976 to 14.9% in 2014. Blacks also fare worse than other groups in terms of wealth. In 2013, the median wealth of white households ($141,900) was 13 times the median wealth of black households ($11,000), the widest gap since 1989, according to a Pew Research analysis of Federal Reserve survey data.
5Barack Obama overshadows others as the nation's most important black leader. A two-thirds majority of blacks in 2011 said Obama was the most important black leader in the U.S., according to a Washington Post poll. Some 7% named Martin Luther King Jr., and 16% offered no opinion. Various surveys show Jesse Jackson had been the top choice in previous decades. In 2006, 15% of blacks named Jackson the nation's most important black leader (11% said Condoleezza Rice and 8% said Colin Powell). In 1994, 34% of blacks said Jackson, down from 51% in 1983.
6Looking to the future, blacks are more likely than whites to say a lot needs to be done to achieve racial equality in the U.S. In a 2013 Pew Research survey, 79% of blacks said so, compared with just 44% of whites. Only 8% of blacks said a little or nothing needed to be done, while 17% of whites said so.

African Americans are a component like any other ethnic group of History; I get confused when individuals mention that they have contributed to history; they are the history, African Americans, like all ethnic groups are history.
I Think that BLACK PEOPLE are important and i will defend them untill the Day I Die
Very informative article. Thanks for enlightening us. Keep it up.
The poverty rate for American Indians is higher than that for Blacks…

Guest Comments
My family and I rented two rooms for the night, and we all were very impressed at the friendliness of the front desk staff and the manager. My in-laws and wife were overall very satisfied with the quality of our accommodations and will definitely never stay in another hotel other than this one when we come to Crestview.
-- Ryan L.
I have refused to stay at hotels for the last 17 years. My husband begged me to please try Country Inn & Suites because he heard it was really nice. I agreed to stay after three hours of conversing. I loved it!! The bed was clean and cozy, the room felt like home with TV and Internet, and it made the stay the best I have ever experienced. Thanks again!
-- Patty W.

Who cares about the performance of the card BEFORE it hits the screen? If it is faster on-screen than the competitor, then it should be considered faster, because what other judgement could be made by the user?

Kill 10 and you're off the hook?
