Album Notes
This latest studio recording by Tom Brusky took nearly four-hundred hours to write, compose, arrange, and record. Twelve of our country's holidays are represented, each by a song in a different genre of music. The CD features original songs, fresh arrangements of old songs, and incredible vocal performances by some of the most talented singers from all over the Midwest. This album actually has twelve tracks, but two were voluntarily omitted from CD Baby because the artist, Tom Brusky, refused to change their titles in order to comply with CD Baby's digital partners' song title guidelines. Those tracks, Halloween Rag Medley and Armed Forces Polka Medley, are available for download only on Tom Brusky's website.

Track Descriptions:

1. NEW YEAR'S DAY - New Year's Kiss (1940's-Style Ballad)
This original song by Tom Brusky was arranged in the style of a 1940's-era ballad, complete with a lush string ensemble and a vocalist who croons in the vintage style of the era. Many lounge, opera, and Big Band singers answered the call, but Tom didn't find the nostalgic vocal sound he was looking for until he came across Mark Demmin II (Naperville, IL). To hear anyone deliver a ballad as exquisitely and proficiently as Mark, you'd have to go back in time at least seventy years.

2. VALENTINE'S DAY - Oh Promise Me (1980's-Style Ballad)
Oh Promise Me was written in 1887, but the song takes on new life as Tom advances it one-hundred years with an arrangement that gives it an iconic, 1980's sound. Finding the right vocalist was critical to the success of this arrangement, because many singers today have an edgy, contemporary tone which isn't the best fit for an 80's-style pop ballad. After more than a month of auditioning interested vocalists, Tom heard a sample of Gabriel Riccio (Chicago, IL) singing, loved the retro vibe, and hired him on the spot. Sit back, relax, and prepare to be transported back to a Valentine's Day some thirty years ago.

3. ST. PATRICK'S DAY - The Maid Behind the Bar (Irish Folk Song)
What makes traditional folk music so appealing, regardless of the nationality, is that it is often just as upbeat and uplifting as American polka music. In a Dublin pub, surely nothing gets one's foot tapping like a peppy Irish reel. In honor of St. Patrick's Day, Tom chose this classic folk song and arranged it with a blend of contemporary and traditional instruments, including the bodhrán, uilleann pipes, and tin whistle. Sláinte!

4. EASTER - One Day (Volksmusik Waltz)
Volksmusik from Europe's Alpine regions is one of the most joyful sounds on Earth, and that makes it a perfect fit for the celebration of Easter. Tom arranged this traditional Easter hymn with a sound reminiscent of Slavko Avsenik's Oberkrainer style. The song's four-part vocal harmony is led by two of the Polka genre's most talented, young singers: Abby Broeniman (Hortonville, WI) and Mollie Busta (Ridgeville Corners, OH).

5. MOTHER'S DAY - For All You've Done for Us (Bluegrass)
Like Polka music, Bluegrass music has always shared that cheerful quality that instantly makes people feel good when they hear it. Tom wrote and composed this song to honor all mothers on their special day. Sung in perfect Bluegrass-style harmony by Emma Bee (Madison, WI), Matt Newton (Nashville, TN), and Ryan Meagher (Milwaukee, WI), this song is all about the gratitude felt by three grown children for their mother's wisdom, patience, and determination over the years.

6. MEMORIAL DAY - A Tribute to the Fallen (Choir, Orchestra & Brass)
This emotional piece arranged for boys' choir, orchestra, and brass quintet is dedicated to the men and women who have sacrificed their lives in the defense of our freedom. It starts with Tom's original composition, "Finest Hour", as an ode to the bravery with which they fought and died. A handbell and choral performance of "America the Beautiful" follows in tribute to the land they so gallantly defended. The song concludes with a solemn rendition of "Taps" to bid our country's heroes a peaceful, eternal rest.

7. FATHER'S DAY - The Love of a Father (Contemporary Folk Ballad)
Tom wrote this sentimental song all about a father's love for his daughter. The song is sung from the perspective of the daughter as she fondly reflects on her childhood. Tom's moving arrangement layers traditional folk instruments over an upright piano, but what will propel this song directly to your heart is the delicate, intimate vocal delivery of Jayme Dawicki (New Berlin, WI). Once a student at the grade school where Tom's father, Jim, was the principal, Jayme grew up to achieve national recognition as a singer/songwriter.

8. INDEPENDENCE DAY - Hail to the Spirit of Liberty (Symphonic Band March)
Perhaps no song is more associated with the 4th of July than John Philip Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever, but it certainly wasn't his only patriotic song. Tom chose this more obscure but equally inspiring Sousa march to amplify your American pride in celebration of our country's founding.

[Not available on CD Baby] 9. HALLOWEEN - Halloween Rag Medley (Spooky, Swingin' Ragtime)
Is it a horror movie soundtrack? Is it sinister theater music? Is it piano ragtime? Is it polka band ragtime? Is it swinging jazz? The answer is yes — all of the above! Based around two Ragtime Halloween songs, Harem Scarem Rag and The Greenwich Witch, this compilation arrangement of music by Tom Brusky is as incongruent and bizarre as it is musically entertaining. Happy Halloween! Muahahahahaha!

[Not available on Cd Baby] 10. VETERAN'S DAY - Armed Forces Polka Medley (Polka)
To honor all those who have served our country, Tom arranged four military service songs into an instrumental Cleveland-style polka medley. Our veterans are our greatest national treasure. All polka bands are encouraged to take time out of their busy schedules every now and then to provide live music at veterans homes in their area.

11. THANKSGIVING - Gratitude (Big Band)
The lyrics for this song are adapted from two poems written by Edgar A. Guest cir. 1917: Gratitude and Thanksgiving. Tom composed the music and arranged it for Big Band. Swingin' the vocal is one of Milwaukee's most unique gems in the entertainment circuit — "Diamond Steve" Brunton from the Brewhaus Polka Kings.

12. CHRISTMAS - O Holy Night (Contemporary Orchestral Carol)
One of the most iconic and beautiful Christmas songs of all time, O Holy Night is also one of the most challenging songs for even the most professional of vocalists due to its extended range and dynamics. For this song, Tom traveled to Nashville, Tennessee to capture the incomparable talent of Matt Newton. Matt's powerful and soaring vocals on this contemporary orchestral arrangement will surely catapult your Christmas spirit to new heights.

Vocalists: Emma Bee, Abby Broeniman, Steve Brunton, Mollie Busta, Jayme Dawicki, Mark Demmin II, Ryan Meagher, Matt Newton, and Gabriel Riccio

This is the PG-13 version of track 07 from High Orbit Saves The Pandas, the in-adventure version of "The Opening Band."

If you can see me, put up your hands!
I said if you can see me, everybody put up your hands!
Well nobody's paying attention to me
'cause we ain't the band that you came to see.
Most of you are glued to your smartphone screens
'cause we are, we are, we are
the opening band.

If you can hear me, bring me a beer!
I said if you can hear me, somebody bring me a beer!
Well none of you came to hear us play,
chances are good we won't get paid,
we won't get fed and we won't get ****
'cause we are, we are, we are
the opening band.

So if you're listening, let me hear you scream!
Nobody is listening, we're just a noise machine.
The sound guy's probably getting dunk at the bar,
our gear's getting stolen from the back of my car
and you still don't know who the **** we are
'cause we are, we are, we are
the opening band.

Don't stop believin' 'cause I'm as free as a bird
and as we wind on down the road
I'm never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
'cause I came in like a wrecking ball,
I came in like a wrecking ball
and you shook me all night long.

We brought some CD's here, they're right over there.
I said we're selling CD's here, but none of you care.
We could get bigger than Ben Folds Five,
but now we're barely making enough to survive
so grab your friends and get your ass in line
'cause we are, we are, we are…
(Thank you San Diego!)
…the opening band.

PSN Game Released 7 Aug 2018

Defenders of Ekron is an Adventure/Shmup game that mixes the classic action of a Shmup and the exploration of an Adventure game, including dungeons and a sci-fi experience. You take the role of Eneas, a young and bold cadet that has trained his entire life to pilot his Anakim, an advanced mech capable of absorbing and transforming the energy around it into a special ability, but something goes wrong and Eneas is forced to join an experimental program to face the Renegades, a group of rogue Anakim pilots, that threaten to destroy the nation by leading a civil war. With features like 360° shooting range, unique scenarios to discover, exploration modes to analyze the environment, a powerful shield, and different upgradable Combat Modes, you must defend the Technocratic Republic of Ekron, but be careful, for dark secrets await and the limits between right and wrong will slowly fade. Listen to your instinct, because revolution starts within.

A New Definition of Networking

Or: To Network is to Give

Networking is hard. You sign up for a conference where you don’t know anybody, you spend all your time scoping out people who might be interested in what you’re selling, and you hand out 40 business cards. Then weeks down the line, still nobody has contacted you back.

There is a better way to network. It starts with changing your mindset.

I would like my definition of networking to reflect the benefits that each person receive because of their presence within the network. The strength of an individual’s networking should pass on value to the others within the network, not just the individual at the center. This definition of networking reflects the mutual support that should be present within a social network.

How do people support each other within a network? That depends first on what kind of industry you are working in. For example, let’s imagine a social enterprise that provides a restaurant service while also working on developing employment skills for new immigrants. The first point of mutual support could be to serve as a venue that is easily booked for networked individuals. In this example, that would support the viability of the social enterprise, while providing additional opportunities for the staff to develop serving skills in a closed environment. In return, the other members of the network have a known space for events.

This extends beyond the immediate network when you consider this new definition of networking. Because each of the people now also have the knowledge of the location for great hosting, each person in the network is more valuable to their own personal networks. For example, someone who knows the manager at the restaurant they might mention to a new immigrant that there is a great training program there, or join a company event organizing committee because they know of a venue that could hold them.

Because of this network of giving, the benefit to the network extends much further. Beyond just knowing where a good venue exists but also extends to the food, the employees, even potentially to the supply network that the restaurant uses if they’re on especially good terms. The benefits of the network likely go beyond what would typically be expected of each person within the network.

Through giving, your network will grow and prosper.

In this vision of networking, there must still be a point of initial contact to start to build that relationship into the network of giving. This is where the stereotypical networking event comes in. This should be an event where people who are interested in similar values that your enterprise is founded on.

Researching what will be spoken about during an event is important to see the kinds of people that are likely to attend. Use your interests or organizational values as a starting point to see if there might be a potential overlap with your existing network, or with your desired network. Beyond the presented topics, see if you can find out some names of people who will be attending. This can help you research some of their background or other interests, so you can ask them questions that will spark a conversation instead of repeating a tired elevator pitch.

As you talk with them, there is likely going to be a point where either you ask them for some advice or assistance or they ask you if you might know someone who can help them with a problem they’re working through. This is the prime opportunity to introduce them to your network (or to be introduced into theirs,) and establish the beginnings of a helping relationship. This is where you could also ask if you could set up a second meeting to get more information on the problem or to introduce them to someone else in your network.

Even if you don’t agree to set up another meeting time, make sure to follow up with any new contacts that you might have met at a networking event. If they think of you outside of the event, there is a much higher chance that they will eventually join your network in some way. You will need to gauge how soon to contact them based on how the conversation went. If you have any questions about what they do or something they had mentioned, ask in the follow up communication. This will signal to them that you were interested in them and were actively listening. Make sure to send the follow up message within a couple days of the event, so they still remember you when they receive it.

Networking events are still useful opportunities to meet people outside of your current network.

As you grow your network, you will realize that it’s not possible to maintain active relationships with everyone that you have met. This is where it is important to prioritize people who have been helpful as well as those with their own established networks. Find the time for those who align well with your vision and values, as well as those you’ve been able to help effectively and have assisted you when needed help.

Beyond the circle of individuals that you keep close contact, you should make the effort to check in with them periodically to keep engaged with them. If you have an opportunity during one of those check ins to help with a short term or immediate need then do so, especially if it is a simple solution such as connecting them with another member of your extended network. Doing so keeps the network you’ve established strong.

Age is also a factor when growing a network. Younger networks are easier to access because they haven’t established a strong close network, and likely haven’t started prioritizing more senior members of their networks yet. The same goes for professionals who have shifted career track or jumped into an entirely different field, as they often need to rebuild their networks within their new field.

Do you have a definition for your networking? Please explain yours in the comments below. If you want to ask me a question about networking or marketing, you can find me on Twitter.

Whatever your methods as you network, always remember to keep it simple.

SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash

Genre(s)Collectible card game
System(s)Neo Geo Pocket Color

SNK vs Capcom: Card Fighter's Clash was one of two products developed by SNK for the Neo Geo Pocket Color that made use of their joint license with Capcom to use each other's characters in Vs. series games. The other game is SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium. Alternatively, Capcom made a series of fighting games for the Sega Dreamcast and the Arcade under the general title of Capcom Vs. SNK. (The company that developed each particular game put their name first.) Due to the Pocket's ability to link with the Dreamcast, Card Fighter Clash could link with Capcom Vs. SNK and be used to unlock some of the bonus features hidden in the Dreamcast version, just as Match of the Millennium could.

But Card Fighters Clash was a distinctly different game from any collaborative effort between the two companies, whose fighting legacy went all the way back to Street Fighter II and Fatal Fury. Card Fighters Clash was a turn based card battle game which used popular characters from both universes, even characters not found in fighting games, as the basis for a set of cards the players would duel with in a Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokémon TCG, or Magic the Gathering fashion. The game employed an extremely simple and approachable duel system that was easy to learn and addictive to play.

SNK took a note from Nintendo's book and developed not one, but two flavors of this game, an SNK version and a Capcom version. Like the Pokémon games, each version contained a particular set of cards that could only be obtained by playing that specific version. Therefore, the only way to collect the entire set of 300 cards was the trade with another player who obtained the unique cards missing from your version. In fact, two cards are only accessible (although very randomly,) by defeating a human opponent in linked combat.

The game was a profound success for the otherwise often overlooked NGPC handheld system. The game spawned a sequel which added more cards, and ironically was released in only one flavor and therefore contained the means to obtain just about every card in the game without trading. Despite the first game's success in America, the second game was never officially translated in to English since NGPC sales were very poor in the states, and SNK was about to be purchased by a Pachinko company at the time.

An old (2001) fan-made translation only partially translated the sequel enough to make it playable by English speakers. In 2008, a fully-playable version of SvC CFC2 English was released to finally bring the game to the English audience. It can be found at the "CFC2English" blog.

SNK has released a third game in the series for Nintendo DS, entitled SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters DS.

Looking Closer: Column One (lad culture)

As my title suggests, I want to look closer at issues in the news and the media at large today – I want to do what all the idioms say: scratch below the surface, delve to the depths, peel back the layers. I not only want to get to the ‘heart of the issue’ but also sift through the rest of the flesh too. As a third year Journalism student I’m constantly thinking about these things, so I’m excited to be given the chance to share my thoughts, and maybe get you thinking too.

To start with I want to zone in on something I think is relevant to us coming back to university: the subject of ‘lad-culture.’ For a while, the best example of this subculture seemed to lie within the slimy walls of ‘Uni Lad’, a website described as the ‘number one university student lad’s magazine and guide to getting laid’ (aye, right). The temporary closure of the website in February was reassuring and gave me hope that, just maybe, the promotion of this banter-filled fad would start to decrease somewhat. But alas! It has been re-launched, and during a recent visit to the site I was disturbed to find legendary articles such as ‘a medley of minge’ – an article detailing the pros and cons about different ‘types’ of girls found at university. Some of the pros include ‘scrumptious boobs’ and the ability to give guys their ‘own porn star experience in the bedroom’. As for the cons – I really feel for the gentlemen having to put up with ‘massive whores’ and ‘chubsters’.

I thought that this ‘lad culture’ phenomenon was exclusive to the younger, student generation, most prevalent in those groups of lads waiting outside Kushion on a Tuesday, looking at the rows of girls and wondering which one they could woo with a shot of sambuca. Unfortunately, however, I was wrong.

It seems that remnants of this ‘lad’ mindset can be traced in the older generation too, as is clear in the sexist interview journalist Matt Bendoris conducted with violinist Nicola Benedetti for The Scottish Sun last month. Articles that make me want to take a cheese grater to my face occur frequently in The Sun, but I was still surprised to read such cringe-worthy misogyny in a national newspaper. When interviewing someone who was leader of the National Children’s Orchestra of Great Britian at just eight years old, you’d think he’d focus on the music. However, Matt preferred to focus on how ‘she looks fit as a fiddle’ (check out the pun), and how it was a pity she wouldn’t be posing for any lads’ mags. In his article, he refers to her as a ‘sexy Scot’ and his use of italics to highlight how lucky he thinks her husband is made my skin crawl the way it would if I were to be covered in sticky sweeties and thrown in to an anthill. When faced with a backlash on Twitter over the interview, Matt handled it in the fashion of a true lad (i.e. by mocking anybody who dared offer a negative opinion). It’s all a big joke, after all, and therein lies the problem.

Some may think I’m lacking a sense of humour, or need to ‘have a bit of banter’. But I can’t help thinking that I’d find a number of things funnier than I find any of this. A few of those things include being stuck in the Livingstone Tower lifts for several days with only a Komodo dragon for company, or maybe sticking some bamboo under my finger nails.

The main problem with lad culture is that it’s damaging to both sexes. To be a boy disagreeing with the lad ethos, you’re automatically categorized as ‘a pansy’ or as ‘weak’. The damage it causes to women is endless. To boil it down, it reduces us to objects, expected to sit tight and smile as our existence is used as a platform for countless jokes, all in the name of banter.

Go Karting teens compete with champions

An amateur team of teenage motor karting enthusiasts from Sunderland have competed at the British Schools Karting Championship (BSKC) UK final in Milton Keynes on Sunday (April 1).

The trio of vehicle painting and repair students from Sunderland College finished sixth out of 34 teams despite stiff competition from teams that included world and UK champion drivers.

Jay Taylor, Connor Rowntree and Kieran Wilkinson, all 18, had previously competed in the North East regional finals on March 12 at Teesside Autodrome to qualify for a coveted place in the national final.

Competing in the race is another remarkable achievement for Connor Rowntree, who in 2009 suffered 90% burns after playing with an aerosol but has since fronted a fire safety campaign and been honoured with a bravery award.

Paul Fawcett, Sunderland College lecturer in Motor Vehicle Technology, said: “I’m very proud of the lads to have made it so far. Their conduct was exemplary both on and off the track, and they did incredibly well.”

Team captain Jay Taylor said: “It was an amazing experience to race against national and international champions, and we did great to make it to the top six teams when we faced that kind of competition.”

Paul Fawcett added: “At Sunderland College extra-curricular activities are just as important as studying – and we want to give our students every opportunity to excel, both inside and outside of the classroom.”

Mark Turner, Championship Manager at the BSKC said: “We would like to thank all the young drivers who competed in this year’s championship and extend our congratulations to the Sunderland College team on their success.

“The BSKC has grown in popularity since its launch in 2006 and enabled thousands of talented young people to take part in the exciting world of motorsports. Karting is a great way for young people to gain confidence and learn many of the skills that will help them both in school and in other areas of their life.”

Talented performer sets the stage for students

Former student Michael Brown led a performing arts workshop at Sunderland College

A former Sunderland College student who is making leaps and bounds in the performing arts industry returned to the classroom to share some of his skills with aspiring starlets.

Talented performer Michael Brown is now studying at the prestigious Laine Theatre Arts where he was awarded a £65,000 scholarship to complete a three year dance and musical theatre diploma.

The Surrey-based international dance and drama training school has produced stars such as Victoria Beckham, actress Hayley Tamaddon, and West End stars Ruthie Henshall and Kerry Ellis, to name but a few.

Michael is following in their footsteps and hopes to see his name up in lights in London’s West End and New York’s Broadway one day.

The 19-year-old returned to Sunderland College’s Arts Academy, where he studied BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Dance and A-Level Drama and Theatre Studies, to run a masterclass for current performing arts students.

Michael said: “It was fantastic to be back at the college and to see both new and old faces. When I studied here I received lots of support – the lecturers tried to get the most out of me and pushed me in the direction of where I wanted to go, so I wanted to come back as a thank you and do something for them.

“I led a contemporary dance workshop, including elements of jazz and commercial dance, which will go towards the students’ final major project at the end of their course. The students seemed to really enjoy it and I hope they got something out of it, especially as the style of dancing is something they wouldn’t have done before.”

Michael also spoke to the students about the expectations and pressures on performers in the industry and what it was like to attend a specialist performing arts training college.

He added: “There are lots of long and hard days when you’re training and I don’t think people quite realise how many hours you have to train for. I go to Laine five days a week, starting at 8.30am every day and some days I finish at 9pm. My earliest finish is on a Friday when we leave at 6pm, so you have to be prepared to put in a lot of hard work and be completely dedicated.

“As well as taking part in dancing, musical theatre, singing, acting and voice lessons, we are also given advice about the industry, how to audition for roles and how ‘castable’ we are for certain parts. You’ve got to be adaptable to all elements of the industry, and I think it’s really important to share this with people who want to perform and do it as a career.”

Before winning the scholarship to Laine, Michael regularly performed in the North East, appearing in a variety of both professional and amateur shows, including ‘Scrooge’ at the Sunderland Empire and Northern Ballet’s production of ‘The Nutcracker’.

He has also worked as an extra in the TV and film industry, including the crime drama ‘Inspector George Gently’ starring Martin Shaw and the British film ‘United’ featuring David Tennant, Jack O’Connell and Sam Claflin.

Michael, from East Herrington in Sunderland, said: “I haven’t performed in any external shows since starting at Laine as we are there to learn in first and second year, but in third year we are encouraged to audition for parts and I’m looking forward to getting an agent and showcasing my skills to professionals in the industry. I feel so lucky that I’ve been given this opportunity, and even though life at Laine is normal to me and hard work, I never take it for granted.”

Lauren Robinson, dance lecturer at Sunderland College, said: “It was an honour to welcome Michael back to the college after two years. The workshop he led for our dance and musical theatre students was inspirational and very beneficial to them as they now have a greater insight into life in a professional performing arts school. Michael’s talent has shone through since his first day at Sunderland College and we are confident we will see him on the West End stage very soon. We’re grateful he found the time to visit us and we’re looking forward to welcoming him back in the future for more workshops.”

Sounds of the Sea

A few weeks before my 45th birthday, I woke up with one thought: I wanted to wake up by the sea! Making this happen, however, was a challenge. It was late August, the busiest month in the Mediterranean. My travelling companion and I had only four nights to spare, knew nothing about boats, and were pretty sure we could not afford our own yacht!

And then, I accidentally clicked a link for and the fog of my search began to clear. Via online chat, company founder Captain Luca Lienza answered in a charmingly thick Italian accent: “What you are asking is…very difficult.” I took a deep breath: “Difficult, but not impossible, right?” His answer was our guiding light: “On a boat, nothing is impossible.”

Can we help you?

Have you found an error? Submit a request

Reasons for rejection - Vectors

  1. Limited commercial value/ Insuﬃcient standards
  2. Group on a pack
  3. Bitmapping vector ﬁles
  4. Missing image not included tag
  5. Auto trace vector ﬁles
  6. Misspellings
  7. Language not allowed
  8. Outdated
  9. Similar Submissions
  10. Duplicate
  11. Plagiarism
  12. Do not include attribution
  13. Trademark and other legal issues + Copyright infringement
  14. Ethical policies
  15. Invalid ﬁle
  16. Eps has no relation with the preview
  17. Elements wrongly placed in the artboard

Limited Commercial Value/Insufficient Standards

Looking at the number of downloads and the profitability we’ve received, we’ve considered that the image has not reached the correct number of downloads to be profitable. This could be due to a number of reasons: simplicity in the composition of the image, insufficient level of technical quality, a theme not sought out by our users…

We can also reject the images when they don’t meet the style requisites demanded by the company, aesthetically and technically speaking (the clarity, for example).

Group in a Pack

Your image does not meet with the minimum standards of complexity in the composition, but if it were grouped with similar assets it could be accepted. For example, the logos that are proposed individually, are more likely to be accepted if proposed in a pack of four.

Bitmapping Vector Files

Images that contain elements that are not vectors in the .eps file (photographs) will not be accepted. Editable photographs can only be included in the case the author can demonstrate that he/she has the rights to them, or if they are free of rights for commercial use.

In any case, only the preview design may be included on the webpage and must include the tag IMAGE NOT INCLUDED where it is visible on the preview file.

If there are no images of free commercial use, images from can be used in the way (.eps and preview file with tag).

This type of cases is common with templates, brochures, previews of business cards, and invitations that use backgrounds in the preview to create a more attractive presentation, but the .eps only contains vector elements.

Missing Image Not Including Tags

And image has been included in the previews that has not been included in the .eps. this must be specified with the tag IMAGE NOT INCLUDED in the preview.

Auto Trace Vector Files

If the design contains an interactive trace of a photograph, it will be rejected IN ALL CASES.

If an interactive has been done for textures or watercolors, the following specification must be kept in mind:

  • If the interactive trace is not detailed or if it can be scaled to a point that makes it clearly a trace, it will be rejected.
  • Although the interactive trace is only used as a background and not a main element (a wood background, for example), if it is bad, it will be rejected.

If the text in the design has any kind of mistake in spelling or misuse of language, will be rejected.

Language not allowed

We do not allow texts in any language apart from English. This will only be permitted in certain festivities where the use of the respective place's language would hold relevance.

The vectors that make reference to a past event (for example: Happy New year 2018!) will be rejected. If the festivity has already passed, but the vector does not include a date, it will be accepted. However, the ideal thing to do is to send the images within the recommended dates to optimize the profitability (two months before the actual date).

Similar Submissions

We will reject an image or images that hold too many similarities with previous uploads on the author’s profile, or with other images proposed in the upload.

We will not consider an image to be different to another if the only modification was the position of an element, its color, or its size.

  • Color changes: we will reject any color changes in designs that are easily modifiable, like in flat logos or in cards. However, if the color change implies also a change in design or is of a greater complexity, the color variants will be accepted (polygonal images, logos with gradients…)

  • Recycled elements: we do not want images with a level of image recycling of the elements is high. We will only accept recycled elements to a reasonable limit, if you were to abuse certain elements, the images would be rejected.

  • Elements separated vs in packs: if the same elements are sent separately and are also included in a pack, we will choose the pack.

If content that is already published or has already been rejected is sent in repeatedly we will consider it as an infraction.

A complete imitation of a vector or the reuse of elements from another author, no matter how small, will be considered plagiarism.

Designs that contain vector elements from designs already published on Freepik, both from the author and, especially, from others, will not be accepted.

Do Not Include Attribution

This is used when the contributor includes in his/her illustration the term “designed by Freepik” (or similar formulas).

Trademark and Other Legal Issues + Copyright Infringement

If the images contain assets that are copyrighted in other franchises, will not be allowed. For example, Adobe, Amazon, Nintendo… However, the use of social media icon is allowed.

Current characters and fictional characters will be rejected, due to image rights. For example, in the case of politicians, known superheroes, and Disney characters.

If they are historical characters, they may be selected, as with characters from ancient stories.

Ethical Policies

Designs containing political, violent, pornographic or those that we deem can be offensive or can affect the sensibilities of our users, will not be accepted.

Invalid Files

The .eps file or the previews contain errors that do not allow its complete or partial visualization.

Eps Has No Relation with The Preview

The .eps and the preview do not coincide completely (they are different images) or partially (they are the same illustration but with different elements, like in the color for example).

Elements Wrongly Placed on The Artboard

Elements have been left, forgotten outside of the artboard that are not part of the illustration: reference images, loose parts of the illustration, nodes that can generate a white boundary around the illustration.

Reasons for automatic rejections

1. Filetype not valid

2. Preview file doesn’t exists

3. Min dimensions not reached

4. Max dimesions exceeded

5. Filesize exceeded

6. Invalid or corrupted file

7. Vector file not found

8. Min filesize not reached

9. Metadata not corrected by the designer

Filetype not valid

The file is not valid because it is not an EPS or a JPG

Preview file doesn’t exist

If the EPS file doesn’t have a preview joint to it (the file’s preview must have the same name)

Min dimensions not reached

Both vectors and photos must have a minimum of 2000 px in dimensions

Max dimesions exceeded

Both vectors and photos must have a maximum of 8000 px in dimensions

Filesize exceeded

Both vectors and photos must have a maximum size of 80 MB

Corrupted file

This file is damaged due to an error in the upload or because the file is corrupted

Vector file not found

Cannot find the EPS file

Min filesize not reached

  • Vectors: 0.1 MB
  • Photos: 1.5 MB

Metadata not corrected by the designer

This message is sent so that the author can make the right corrections to the metadata (refering to the title and tags on the resources). The correction period is of 10 days; if this was exceeded, the resources will be rejected.

  • The title should not be too long (60 characters max. approx.)
  • I cannot contain numbers (i.e. Roll Up Banner 131)
  • It must be well redacted coherently in English
  • It’s just a short descriptive phrase on the resource without full stops that could give way to alternative titles (i.e. Baby with a nipple. Close up of baby’s hands with pacifier. Focus is on hands)

Example of incorrect titles:

“Portrait of a baby is being bathed by his father using tub at home. Soft tone. Bath time for a cute little new born baby”

Example of correct titles:

“Portrait of a baby being bathed by his father in a tub at home”

“Close up of baby’s hands with pacifier” or “Baby with nipple”

They must be separated by commas.

None of the tags have a # before the word

Maximum we will allow two words in each tag. I.e. “Christmas background”. A tag with more than word is incorrect as each word must be separated by a comma.

Example of an incorrect tag

Latin American and Hispanic Ethnicity (incorrect)

Latin American, Ethnicity (correct)

The following words will be discarded because they are on the vector design or because they give technical details that are not of interest: A4, A3 Eps10, horizontal, or vertical.

Reasons for Rejections

  1. Title too long
  2. Wrong title
  3. Title contains irrelevant information
  4. Title must be in proper English
  5. Title contains a date or numbers
  6. Tags have not relation with the image
  7. Tags are irrelevant
  8. Tags must be in English
  9. Tags range established: 5-50 tags

Title too long

Titles are rejected when they are too long. The maximum length of a title is of 50-60 characters approximately.

I.e. “Avocado seamless pattern with polka dots. Whole avocados, sliced pieces, cut in half with seed sketch. Tropical summer fruit drawn by hand cartoon style background”.

“Background for cute little boys. Transportation print. Doodle style seamless pattern on the theme of childhood with space ship, plane, helicopter and boat. Vector illustration for children’s design”.

Wrong title

When a title is wrong and does not make allusions to the designs. The titles have been rejected for containing unnecessary information, whether that is referencing the resource or it is of a technical nature (i.e. EPS10)

For example, those designs that have “Print” in the title or any other title that has nothing to do with the image of the resource.

Title contains irrelevant information

The titles are rejected for holding irrelevant information.

I.e. “Cake with polka dots seamless pattern illustration. Pastry and bakery background.”

Title must be in proper English

The title must be properly redacted in English

Title contains a date or number

Those titles on photographs that have the date in which the image was taken. In the case of vectors, we will reject the title if the numbers are irrelevant to the design (i.e. Roll Up Banner 131).

Tags have no relation to the image

Tags that have no relation to what is in the design.

i.e. A design of a card with the tags: background, illustration.

Tags are irrelevant

A particular design has tags that are not important, although they are related to the design. You can do without them when the tags are present are more relevant and describe the design in question.

i.e. Describe all the chromatic range of the design or all of the elements of this that are not necessary.

Tags must be in English

All tags must be in English.

Tags range established: 5-50 tags

Each resource must have five tags minimum.

Missing Resident State License Information.

Dennis Pavluk -

I'm trying to do some contracting for my producer, but there's an error on his/her profile. It's on the Licenses Tab and says "Missing Resident State License." I can't do any contracting. What's going on?

What's going on is that according to NIPR, this producer does not have an active Resident State License. When a producer is registered in SureLC, the system goes out to NIPR (National Insurance Producer Database) and pulls in the PDB report. (Producer Database Report) That report includes a list of the producers active licenses. If one of those active licenses is not marked as a Resident State license, SureLC will show an error for that producer.

Alternatively, the PDB report includes a list of the producer inactive licenses as well. If the producers Resident State license is inactive, guess what? Error on producers profile.

With all of that said, keep this in mind. It typically takes a state DOI (Department of Insurance) 3 to 5, sometimes up to 10 business days to report new licensing information to NIPR. Once the update is done at NIPR, SureLC updates. So in essence, if a producer renewed or got a new Resident State License issued yesterday, then gets registered in SureLC today, the producer's PDB report is NOT going to reflect the new licensing information because that information has not yet been reported to NIPR.

Well, I have contracting that needs to be done and I can't wait till the state DOI gets off it's rocker and reports the information to NIPR. What do I do?

Well, you can manually add the license to the producers Licenses Tab. You will need an electronic copy of the licence to do this. PDF format is preferred. Click HERE to go to instructions on how to manually upload a license to a producers profile.

***Please Note: At this time, only agency workers have the ability to manually upload a license to a producers profile.***

How you doing?

Thanks your visiting my blog, I hope everything is “perfect” in your life and under your control. I think that all depends on you and how is your feel everyone around you feel it. You can put on autopilot everything if you know what are you doing and why are you doing that.

Your health is most important than everything else is in your life, because health is everything and looking after your health is = never ending story, just do it anyway and you don’t have to tell everybody what are you doing and why. Be sensible what are you eating-drinking, careful with your portion size. Your life is yours, you can enjoying your life, you can be healthy, happy and this is easy, not simple.

I like potato – yes, this is not very “healthy” friend, anyway I like it and I eat potato. My another “challenge” is chocolate, when is weather cold getting more complicated because I’d like drinking hot chocolate, evening time (this is not a good time for that) or/and I am going to the coffee shop and I buy any special drink (??? calories – I don’t know) usually I buy the smallest portion – unfortunatelly usual that’s size biggest than I thought, I enjoying without guilt because I know what I am doing and I just enjoying my life.

Healthy lifestyle and weight-management meaning for me, I know what I eating-drinking, when = because I am hungry/thirsty, and why = because I am looking after myself with responsibility. Are you Feel the Difference? Just put your all pieces together and everything going to be the right direction on the right time.

4 thoughts on “How you doing?

  1. I love how you do what you feel is best for you. Logic goes into a lot of things…but one person’s logically good might be another’s not so good. I think we need to do a better job of listening to our inner voice and guidance systems. Thanks for your post!

  2. I need to take better care of my health. I know sitting at the PC all day, working is NOT healthy! Thanks for the reminder (and yes, I love chocolate too!)

  3. Hello! I have liked and followed your blog. I try to exercise as often as I can and my job is quite active 🙂

  4. I also like to have my hot chocolate drink, not only in the evening though ! Plus I am eating chocolates now as I type but I know it is wrong and not healthy but we are what we are and enjoy what we like. Thanks for sharing.

Migrating Forums to Discussions

Hello all. Almost a year ago, the Star Wars Fanon community voted to enable the Discussions feature. Now, Wikia/FANDOM has started migrating content from the Forum to Discussions. You can read about it here. Currently, wikis can volunteer to have their Forum content migrated to Discussions, but this will eventually happen everywhere, it's just a matter of time. I, personally, think Star Wars Fanon should volunteer now though.
There are some downsides that Wikia/FANDOM has been open about: "a replacement for Forum’s "highlight" function and a more versatile editor for Discussions" are currently in-progress projects that will make Discussions more useful but haven't been released yet. However, if we migrate now, we get to do it as a personalized experience where Staff is paying close attention to the process and ensuring its success. Given that neither Forums nor Discussions are used that much, and most users agreed that they either preferred Discussions or didn't care, I think it makes the most sense for Star Wars Fanon to take this opportunity to be ahead of the curve in regards to the First Order Wikia overlords new FANDOM changes. I'd love to hear what y'all think about this.

Decide what to do with the wordmark

The recent page header updates mean we should be taking another look at our wordmark. Our wordmark, in case you have never seen it before. I think there are two issues:

the dark grey of "FANON" looks bad on the blue header
the sitename to the right of the wordmark unnecessarily repeats the wordmark.
I think we could either:

change wordmark colors to fit with the header
change the header background color to something else.
And either:

get rid of text in the wordmark to make it graphic-only and keep the sitename text next to it
keep the wordmark as is with graphic+text and replace the sitename with some fancy tagline.
What do you think? Discuss!

Hey there people! Wikia has introduced a new feature called "Discussions". You can read about it here and here. Long story short, it'll replace the current forums with a new way for users to have forum-like discussions. I would highly encourage you all to check out Wookieepedia's use of the feature here.
I think this could be great for Star Wars Fanon. It's not like we use forums that much, but this could be an easier way for users to collaborate on things. (And yes, I've actually seen users collaborating on things lately.) Beyond that it could also be used for community discussions like this!
I'd love to hear thoughts on this from anyone and everyone. This feature is going to come eventually, but we have a chance to implement it now and offer feedback on how the system could be improved. I think this is a great opportunity for us to get in on the ground floor. How do you all feel about implementing it?

Archivist adjustment

Hello everyone. I have an idea.
I've noticed that there's been a dearth of activity in the fan-fiction world on this website, and I thought of something that might help to shake things up a bit, add some incentive for people to dust off their old stories and post some new ones, as well as encourage more featured work participation. The gist is that the term "Archivist" would become less of an obligation and more of a status symbol. It would be a recognition that this individual knows how to write a good story, and thus could help other people write their own stories and help decide what's a good story.
Links: featured work page and featured work nomination page

Part 1: Any user who has written two or more featured works is automatically granted the title of Archivist. (This would grant the following users the Archivist title: Jedi Master 76, MPK, Sakaros, Tesh Vohore)
Part 2: Item 5 of the Featured Work qualifications on FW page amended to say "It must receive at least 2 votes from the Archivists and 3 votes from the community to become a featured work." from "It must receive at least (2/3) votes from the Archivists and 5 votes from the community to become a featured work." This will make it consistent with the FW nom page, which currently conflicts with it.
Part 3: Update all "2/3 Archivist" vote requirements to say that 2 Archivists are sufficient to override an objection or remove a nomination. I would be fine bumping this up to 3 if more Archivists became active, but I feel that if 2 Archivists agree than objection is not an issue or that a nomination shouldn't be there, then it should be removed. I will monitor this closely for abuse, but I largely trust the judgment of the people we'd be adding.
I don't know how we do consensus on these new boards, but I'll check in on this periodically and gauge consensus two weeks from now. Cheers!

Adopting Wikia's new infobox format

Wikia is currently working on a new infobox format, which is detailed on the discussion thread on CC and the help page. I'd like to start a discussion on whether to adopt this new template system.
The main benefits would be much cleaner code—instead of nested tables and conditionals, we could use custom parser tags, greatly lowering the technical barrier needed to create a custom infobox and also making maintenance easier. The code that gets output is also more semantic, incorporating new, descriptive HTML5 tags.
While the information thread I linked has some examples, keep in mind that (almost) anything can be done with CSS, so if those samples are not to your liking, there are almost endless customization options. As such, if this proposition is approved, and a new infobox design is decided on (or we decide to keep the old one), I think we should update our existing infoboxes to use the new syntax.

Galactic calender changes in Legends/New Expanded Universe: Should we change our formatting?

Recently, Wookieepedia voted to redo the formatting for its year articles, removing the comma in four-digit years (example, "3,956 BBY" was changed to "3956 BBY"). It was a little startling at first, hearing about it, but the more it showed the more it made sense—not leastwise in how most real-world calenders work. So, I propose that we do the same thing here on Star Wars Fanon, that is to say, reworking our BBY/ABY articles so that they drop the comma.
Per a suggestion by Brandon Rhea, this should not deter users from using a pipelink to leave the comma in, should they desire (e.g., [[3956 BBY|3,956 BBY]]).
If this motion is adopted, it will mean a lot of grunt work (possibly done by a bot, but there's no reason why regular users can't do it), but I'm more than happy to work on it.
Admittedly this is somewhat of a minor issue for a Consensus Track, but I also wanted to test out the viability of using the Forum extension for holding a site-wide discussion such as this one. Since I am not aware of a vote-tallying mechanism, perhaps a simple "Yes" or "No" should be the first word of any reply posts, followed by whatever reason one chooses to add. Once a sufficient amount of time has passed, an administrator or the starter of the Consensus Track can count up the votes and, if sufficient consensus has been achieved, make the appropriate changes.
This Consensus Track thread will last for one week, ending on 9 September 2014 at 9:45 EDT (02:45 UTC).

Johnny Cash home added to National Historic Registry as new renovations are underway

by George Jared ( 484 views

The restored Cash home in the Dyess Colony.

Dr. Ruth Hawkins spent many years roaming the gravel roads and out-of-the-way places in the Arkansas Delta searching for ways to increase tourism in the region. Hawkins, the executive director of the Arkansas State University Heritage Sites program, passed by Johnny Cash’s boyhood home many times.

Occasionally, she would see a tourist taking a picture at the home near the town of Dyess in rural Mississippi County. It disturbed her each time she witnessed tourists at the home. It was dilapidated, and she thought it was a shame that people coming to the house thought that Cash grew-up in such poor conditions. When his family moved into the house, it was brand new. His mother sat on the floor and cried after the paint dried because it was the first new floor she’d ever lived upon.

The house has been restored and was recently added to the National Register of Historic Places, Hawkins told Talk Business & Politics. Plans are underway to build or move a smokehouse, outhouse and chicken coop onto the property, she said. Organizers hope to have the three out buildings completed before the Johnny Cash Festival held each October. It’s one of the ASU Heritage Sites.

“The house … it had seen better days,” she said.

How the Cash family came to this desolate spot in rural Northeast Arkansas was a common story during a harsh bit of American history. Drought, sporadic floods, and the Great Depression decimated family farms in the early 1930s. President Franklin Roosevelt started what was then called a socialistic plan to help many of these farmers in eastern Arkansas.

Ray and Carrie Cash brought their family to the Dyess Colony in 1935, according to historians. The Cashes moved to Dyess with their five children, Roy, 13; Louise, 11; Jack, 5; J.R., 3; and Reba, 1. Joanne and Tommy were born in Dyess Colony as it was called.

During that era, the area was more swamp than usable farm ground. Workers drained the swamp and 500 farm families, including the Cash family received 40 acres and a mule through a federal government aid program. Rice and cotton were grown. Johnny Cash, along with his brother, Jack, worked the family farm and attended school. The family remained there for several years after Cash left to become a world famous musician.

Hawkins passed by the house for years, but it wasn’t until 2009 that a serious attempt began to buy and restore the house, she said. Dyess city officials approached ASU and asked the university to partner in the restoration of the administrative building. It was around this time talks started with the house owner, she said. About $1.5 million in grants were procured to restore the administration building, and museum exhibits were placed inside.

In 2011, the house and a third of an acre were bought for $100,000, Hawkins said. The first objective was to rebuild the house’s foundation. This part of Mississippi County has a lot of “gumbo soil,” and it shifts, often, Hawkins said. The concrete piers that supported the house had moved, and it was virtually on the ground. The native soil was removed and replaced with better drainage soil, she said. A concrete foundation was poured and piers were placed on top of the foundation to give the house its original appearance, she said.

“That was a major ordeal,” she said.

Once the foundation was set, their attention turned to the inside of the house. Tommy and Joanne returned and with pain-staking detail told the restoration team how the house looked during their childhood. A digital model was created. Some original Cash home items were located, such as the family piano, but many household items from that era would have to be found. An online registry was established, similar to a bridal registry, Hawkins said. Slowly but surely, the house began to round into the shape it was when the Cash family lived there, she said.

“It was a wonderful process,” she said.

The house and administrative building were opened in 2014. A visitor’s center built as part of the old Dyess Colony movie theater was erected. The total cost of the entire project was a little more than $4 million, Hawkins said. A lot of the restorations were paid for with grants, but the entire house project, $575,000, was paid with proceeds from the festival and private donations, she said.

“The house was funded by Johnny Cash friends,” she said.

The out buildings are the next project, she said. A smokehouse from that era has been located and can be moved to the site. A chicken coop has been located too, but it’s in such bad condition it can’t be moved, she said. It gives them an idea of what they need to build, she said. How much these out buildings will cost is hard to tabulate at this point because they don’t know what they’ll need to build or how much it may cost to move an original building.

There are plans to build an original barn on the property. It will look like a barn on the outside, but on the inside it will be furnished to hold conferences, seminars, and other meetings. A timetable and budget for the barn has not been established.

Published reports have stated the Cash family may build his archives in Tulsa. If the family does establish his archives in Oklahoma, Hawkins doesn’t expect it to have an impact on the Dyess site. Up to 25,000 visitors come to the house each year, and the numbers continue to grow, she said.

“We’re focused on his childhood and his life in Arkansas,” Hawkins said.
