SmugMug has the right, at any time, to remove your User Content stored on the Site in excess of such limits. Furthermore, if SmugMug were to terminate an account on the Site for any reason, all User Content associated with such account would be removed. While SmugMug will use reasonable efforts to notify you of such removal, whether by notice in the account or by email to the email you have specified in your account, it is your responsibility to download any User Content which you wish to save and make backup copies of all User Content to prevent the loss thereof.”</p> <p><strong>In the “Your Account” section, most of the following is new:</strong><br/> “SmugMug reserves the right to terminate your account and/or refuse access to the Services to anyone at any time, with or without cause, at its sole discretion. If SmugMug terminates your account due to inactivity, SmugMug will use reasonable efforts to notify you of such termination in advance by posting such notice in your account and emailing such notice to the email address you have specified in your account.” </p> <p><strong>In the “Agreement to Arbitrate” section, the following has been added:</strong><br/> “Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and SmugMug are NOT required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable or other relief for (1) the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents or (2) allegedly criminal conduct under laws of the United States or any state thereof, including, but not limited to, criminal laws addressing pornography, exploitation, obscenity, or hate speech.” </p> <h3 style="padding-top:20px;line-height:1.5em;">Thanks,<br/> The Flickr Team</h3> </div> </div> </div> </td> </tr> <tr style="padding-bottom:30px;max-width:600px;"> <td align="left" style="font-family:'Proxima Nova','HelveticaNeue','Helvetica Neue','Helvetica','Arial','Lucida Grande','sans-serif';font-size:16px;color:#4a4a4a;

With SmugMug, we'll continue to focus on you, the Flickr members who inspire us all with your work.</p> <p><b>Nothing will change immediately with regard to your Flickr account.</b> You will still access Flickr with your current login credentials and you will have the same Flickr experience as you do now.

Very reminiscent of heavy weight boxing, but literally on the other end of the scales.<br /><br /><br />The models for the <a title="46th Cibeles Fashion Show" href="http://www.cibeles.ifema.es/ferias/cibeles/default.html" id="rm84">46th Cibeles Fashion Show</a> in Madrid, needed a minimum <a title="body-mass index" href="http://www.cibeles.ifema.es/ferias/cibeles/default.html" id="n1zl">body-mass index</a> (BMI) of 18 to be eligible to take part in the event. According to <a title="Wikipedia a BMI" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_mass_index" id="zza5">Wikipedia, a BMI</a> of less than 18.5 is an indication that the person is underweight. A report by <a title="EFE" href="http://www.efe.com/" id="f1j7">E</a><a title="EFE" href="http://www.efe.com/" id="f1j7">FE</a> News Agency in the <a title="El Pais" href="http://www.elpais.com/articulo/gente/Todas/modelos/podran/desfilar/Cibeles/superar/peso/minimo/exigido/elpepugen/20070916elpepuage_3/Tes" id="m5nh">El Pais</a> gave a figure of 56 models being weighed and measured. It seems that the guys were not weighed. (EFE/El Pais stories in Spanish)<br /><br /><br />The show itself was held at the <a title="Retiro Park" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parque_del_Buen_Retiro" id="ms:z">Retiro Park</a>, in the centre of Madrid, which is regarded by some as the lungs of the city. A good reason to go out and protest. The protesters that objected to the show being held in the park were concerned with the pollution from the fumes coming out of the pavilion and more importantly, damage to the roots of trees around the event.<br /><br /><br />This was widely reported in the Spanish media<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span>, <a href="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://estaticos01.cache.el-mundo.net/elmundo/imagenes/2006/09/18/1158583092_1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2006/09/18/madrid/1158583092.html&h=209&w=300&sz=38&hl=en&start=2&sig2=rQu1V--oEkwFn3mLrxR6lA&tbnid=skhGYp6fh2nu3M:&tbnh=81&tbnw=116&ei=8oIBR7KOKY-wwAGEmr3lDw&prev=/images%3Fq%3DCibeles%2B%25C3%25A1rboles%2BRetiro%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff">el Mundo</a> (in Spanish) included photos of the protesters. As a comparison, the <a title="Madrid Book Fair" href="http://www.ferialibromadrid.com/" id="h:ek">Madrid Book Fair</a> is held on the same spot every May, and this year there were <a title="344 Kiosk type book stalls" href="http://www.ferialibromadrid.com/" id="eudw">344 Kiosk type book stalls</a>. For what it is worth, I could not find any reports of protesters for this event. Irrespective of how convenient this event was for the trees, it was certainly a convenient location for those taking part. The park is only a short taxi ride from the centre of Madrid.<br /><br /><br />Back to the fashion show; 36 Spanish designers exhibiting their new creations at the 46 edition of Pasarela Cibeles. There was the famous, for those who know about these things (my friend K and I don't), Agatha Ruiz de la Prada which the <a title="Javno" href="http://www.javno.com/en/lifestyle/clanak.php?id=82042" id="eigi">Javno</a> website described as an, "<a title="outlaw running away from realism" href="http://www.javno.com/en/lifestyle/clanak.php?id=82042" id="dq5o">outlaw running away from realism...</a>" with her "..<a title="candy style tradition" href="http://www.javno.com/en/lifestyle/clanak.php?id=82042" id="whvv">candy style tradition</a>."<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdCrk8d6DtIESDUq_2JG_zeasoMCRnnvHS7Ue8H5M3kh7VS-93m1TpbXJGk0OSAOXnMKBf9xFC3sFIvOcACD82_NGCbmkT-UF_L7Cb-AESGyjoEwnXLHM7HFWhyphenhyphenynjARAyjk2ITQ/s1600-h/28.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 278px; height: 185px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdCrk8d6DtIESDUq_2JG_zeasoMCRnnvHS7Ue8H5M3kh7VS-93m1TpbXJGk0OSAOXnMKBf9xFC3sFIvOcACD82_NGCbmkT-UF_L7Cb-AESGyjoEwnXLHM7HFWhyphenhyphenynjARAyjk2ITQ/s320/28.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119010039389776594" border="0" /></a>We were more impressed with <a href="http://www.juanamartin.com/">Juana Martin</a> who seemed to belong as much on the catwalk as the models exhibiting her wares. Maybe the fact that she was the only designer we saw (on or off screen) might have something to do with this opinion; or maybe the BMI factor. (Right: black by Martin). As for the clothes themselves, I suggest you have a look at the <a title="Orgnaiser's" href="http://www.cibeles.ifema.es/ferias/cibeles/default.html" id="dh-c">orgn</a><a title="Orgnaiser's" href="http://www.cibeles.ifema.es/ferias/cibeles/default.html" id="dh-c">aiser's</a> web site where they have videos and photos from all the designers.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">We went on the last day of the show, 21st September, Friday afternoon, which was probably the worst time to go.
