Every other Saturday afternoon, a bunch of filmmakers meet at a secret location on the West Side of Manhattan. Many of them don't know each other, but they soon will. Within minutes, each one has been paired up with total stranger, and given the task of shooting a monologue, which they must complete and bring back to the starting point within three hours.

Over at the istockphoto.com forum this guy had to post a message because he couldn't figure out how much the photos cost to download.

I'm not a member over there and was looking for the same info. It's not easy to find.

The istockphoto website says:

Stockphoto works on a download credit system and some ideas we borrowed from the concept of micropayments. One credit is equal to one download. Each credit is worth .50 cents.

So it looks like the photos cost .50 cents each.

Is that right?

Yes, that's correct.

There's a little white duck sitting in the water
a little white duck doing what he oughter
he took a bite of a lily pad
flapped his wings and he said "I'm glad
I'm a little white duck sitting in the water
quack! quack! quack!"

Refuser Solidarity Network.

After months of intensifying violence, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of innocent Israelis and Palestinians, Israeli soldiers in increasing numbers are stepping forward to publicly announce their refusal to serve in the occupied territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

The refuser movement wants to end the Occupation and create peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

Peace would be good.

I'm keeping my CafePress.com SAD CLOWN store.
I was just reading about changes to the CafePress.com member agreement.

The paragraph that I had questions about was this one:

5.5 If CafePress.com owes you accrued compensation that is less than the Payment Threshold for at least 180 days, then CafePress.com may charge your account a $25.00 monthly maintenance fee. CafePress.com will continue to charge this monthly fee as long as the total amount of accrued compensation remains less than the Payment Threshold for at least 180 days.

I emailed CafePress.com with this question:

Are you really going to start charging me $25/month, or is this somthing you are just reserving the right to do in the future?

They replied:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting CafePress.com!

Please accept our apologies for any confusion regarding your CafePress.com account. Please note that you will not receive a bill in the amount of $25.00. However, if you have commission(s) in your account that are more than 180 days old, you will have to use these funds before they are forfeited from your account. You may use these funds in the form of CafeCash to purchase items from your store or one of our many shops located at www.cafeshops.com.

Unfortunately, we have to enforce this policy as we are mandated to turn over outstanding monies to the government by law. We impose this service charge because there are very high administrative costs involved with transferring funds to the government. Again, please understand you will not be charged, you will only be forfeiting the current commission balance in your account that is over 180 days old AND below your minimum check amount.

Sincerely,

Samantha L
