I have always felt that I may as well stay with low earners just because my images are already on their sites but yesterday gave up on Canstock. They got tired of inspecting photos after ten or eleven years so started rejecting every photo I uploaded. Very frustrating and at the low sales rate I wont last long enough to receive a payout so I let them keep my 27 dollars.

While browsing some photos on iStock I noticed a keyword ( aciculum ) near the end of the list. This was on a photo of a semi-truck. I looked it up and see it is a part of certain insects but wonder if there is some other usage of the word in other parts of the world.

The only reason I decided to inquire here is after putting the word into the search field 583 pages came up and the first photo is the famous one of the little girl blowing on the dandelion seeds. I also checked randomly and found the keyword on all the files I checked. I thought I was well versed in the English language but if this word is that common, I must have missed "aciculum" day at school. It's late here so I will have to wait till morning to see if there is a need for such a word. Thanks.

I wonder if someone has a record of the companies listed to the right (poll results) that sent out 1099's to USA taxpayers for the 2012 tax year.

Just wondering so I would know when they all had arrived and I could finally file my taxes.
