Philly upside down

Beautiful pic. I love the spread about the "Detroit 48". It's a shame that great architecture will be destroyed.

Flipping for Touchdowns

One of the 'MOST RIDICULUS' rules which resides within the NFL has to do with the 'FORBIDDING' of a player (personally)celebrating his achievement of scoring a touchdown!

As long as his celebration does not include any form of direct taunting of the opposing team, then for such a person to receive 'FINES & PENALTIES' behind their act of demonstrating how they feel about their 'milestone of achievement' is a 'SAD COMMENTARY' for a professional institution (NFL) and their complete lack of understanding what good 'SPORTSMANSHIP' really is!

In other words...It is 'BAD SPORTSMANSHIP' to penalize a person for showing his happiness behind a personal goal which they have reached! Bring on the 'UFL'>>>The 'NFL' gets increasingly 'BORING' everytime the NFL Commission speaks!

Fran Tarkenton

Fran Tarkenton, who previously has expressed his loathing over Brett Favre's inability to make a decision, spoke out again Wednesday, a day after Favre decided to sign with the Minnesota Vikings. Strong words from Fran Tarkenton, especially since his old team will be lying out huge fast cash http://personalmoneystore.com/Personal-Loans/quick-Loans/fast-Cash/ for Favre.

How in the world can Michigan keep loving Obama and Dems?

What will it take for you crazies in Michigan to finally realize that democrats have destroyed you? 50% unemployment? Maybe when every single one of you is homeless, will you still be chanting "O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA!"

you people are so gullible, I am stunned. Detroit is one of the worst cities in violence in the US...long before Obama...and it has been run by democrats, democrats, democrats. You want change? Put in a republican Mayor.

How in the hell do you people in Detroit keep electing democrats over and over and over and over again??? Look at your dung heap city for goodness sake!! Wake up Michigan. Your state is going down the drain!

The Squirrel wearing a Scarf

Thanks for the nice picture of the squirrel. I think that this squirrel must be very tame as he obviously allowed someone to put that ribbon scarf on him. I feed corncobs (suspended on a wire) to the squirrels outside my office window; they are very entertaining and smart, too! I think that squirrels have a natural aptitude for geometry and physics by virtue of how they can master a bird feeder just to eat. They are also quite cute and, in some cases, can be very friendly with people as this pictured squirrel must be. - David Michael Klemmer, Jr.

Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder

Find RAW Duplicates

Any photographer would know that it takes more than just one try to get a perfect shot. Just recently I read about this photographer who had to take about 200 shots to get the perfect one of a school of fish for the National Geographic. Talk about perfectionism!

Personally, I'm no great photographer, but I like to shoot in RAW format because most of my photography is for commercial purposes. For recreational images, I will only process them into JPEG at different sizes for printing and blogging.

When it comes to searching for my images to delete or for storing, well, let's just say that I'm not a particularly organized person so I tend to have all kinds of images all over the place: I can find random pictures of food in a detergent ad photo shoot folder. A fellow photographer friend recommended Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder - Find Duplicate Photos, just in case I have duplicated the same images in different formats in several different folders, which is something I do quite often.

All these duplicated images serve no purpose since I can just process them again from my RAW file unless I've edited them. Being a disorganized person, I worry that I might accidentally delete an image that I would need or have been edited. I would take me ages to sort my folders. What I do is that I use the Visual Similairity Duplicate Image Finder to Find Duplicate Photographs in all image formats including RAW , which magically retrieves all the same pictures, even if it's in different size or name.

I can also find similar pictures so I don't need to search 200 times on the same school of fish.

I know this may sound like a commercial, but really, thanks to Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder, I am able to Find and delete similar and duplicate images, pictures and photographs, and at the end of the day I can just chuck the images that are just taking space on my hard disk.

Tiger Stadium

Disgusting and sinful, the desecration of Tiger Stadium....with all the rotting, abandoned buildings etc. in the city of Detroit all this special attention payed to leveling Tiger Stadium....it is possible and even probable that the banshees of Tiger ghosts past, Cobb, Heillman, Greenberg, Cash, etc. will put a curse on this shameful franchise, the Detroit Tigers....a chunk of part of TS fell on a truck not long ago for the first part of the curse...the Illitch gang shamefully standing pat allowing the desecration of this hallowed ground and doing nothing....at least part of it should be saved for future youth and summer baseball....shamefully it looks like it will all be leveled and the banshees will wail on this shameful franchise - the Tigers!!!!

fat leg with a tattoo?

This is the picture to represent the cruise? A fat leg with a tattoo? No wonder my dating life sucks after moving to SE Mich. I can't lower my standards anymore. I am going to have to move to find me a wife.
