A third party presidential candidate is looking for voters with brains.
Problem is, he's a zombie, and you know what they do with that particular organ.
Actually, he's not just any zombie. He's A. Zombie, and he's running on a pro-zombie platform, with the help of his vice presidential candidate, Noah Pulse.
Zombie threw his hat in the ring at a campaign rally in San Diego on Monday that attracted about three dozen zombies and a few human stragglers.
Now, he's starting a whistlestop tour that will take him to Dallas, Tampa, Fla., Charlotte, N.C., Atlanta and New York City in the next few weeks.
ZOMBIE RUNS FOR PRESIDENT (Story continues below)
Independent presidential candidate A. Zombie is running for the nation's highest office -- and wants voters with brains, literally and figuratively.
The campaign of Zombie, who is pictured with his wife, Patti Morgan-Zombie, is actually a publicity stunt concocted by AMC Networks to protest a contract dispute with Dish Network.
Nearly three dozen zombies showed up for a campaign rally in San Diego where Zombie grunted out his campaign platform.
Many of the zombies, who were found on a local "Zombie Walk" Facebook group, had their own issues.
Although the country is closely divided between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, Patti Morgan-Zombie thinks her husband should do well in the "dead states."
The Zombies don't think their campaign will be affected by voter ID laws since, As Patti puts it, "Zombies can vote as many times as they want to. Who's going to stop them?"
Besides San Diego, Zombie plans to hold similar rallies in Dallas, Atlanta, Tampa, Fla., Charlotte, N.C. and New York City.
Although zombies are known more for having a firm grip around their victim's throats than having a firm grasp on the issues, Zombie told The Huffington Post in an exclusive interview that he knows the issues that affect Americans, such as health care, voter ID laws and immigration.
Well, he didn't actually do the politicking.
Since most zombie quotes are just a variation of "Aaaaaargh," Patti Morgan-Zombie, his wife and campaign spokeswoman, had to translate for him.
For instance, when Zombie was asked about health care he had this to say: "Aaaargh!" Luckily, Morgan-Zombie fleshed out the quote (and you know how zombies love flesh).
"My husband says that health care is a very important issue to him, primarily because it's almost impossible to get health care as a zombie," she told HuffPost. "Even if you do get a policy, it carries a $10 million deductible. Last year, my husband had a hang nail and the co-payment was $85,000. That's why he's a proponent of 'ZombieCare.'"
Other issues important to Zombies:
Voter ID Laws: "In this country, it's one vote for each American, but when it comes to zombies, they can vote as many times as they want to. Who's going to stop them?"
Immigration: "He doesn't think [reforming immigration law] will affect zombies because zombies don't carry identification any way. What differences does it make?"
Bath Salts (the street drug): "My husband is not exactly for bath salts. He had a very unfortunate incident with the real bath salts. They stung badly so it's a subject he'd rather not get into."
To be fair, Zombie's chances of getting a single vote are slim and there is no record of anyone named "Zombie" registering as a candidate with the Federal Election Commission.
That's because the campaign is actually a publicity stunt concocted by AMC, the cable channel that handles "The Walking Dead" TV show, to protest its removal from Dish Network six weeks ago.
Dish Network spokesman Bob Toevs said his company stopped carrying AMC, as well as WE TV, the Sundance Channel and IFC at the beginning of July because the money the networks wanted for their service wasn't worth it from a ratings standpoint.
He added, "It's a clever campaign though."
Zombie's opinion?
Or how his wife put it: "Hard-working Americans deserve the right to go home after a long day, put their feet up and watch zombie-filled programming on their television sets if they choose to do so."
Whether the campaign actually gets Dish Network to sign a deal with AMC Networks before the Oct. 14 season premiere of "The Walking Dead" remains to be seen, but the rally in San Diego has inspired at least one potential voter, Katie Barnes, a non-zombie."I was leaning more towards presidential candidates that are living," Barnes said. "But I think I definitely now want to go with the zombie."

Kevin Plawecki has mild vertigo
Mets Triple-A C prospect Kevin Plawecki has a minor case of vertigo, assistant GM John Ricco told reporters on Tuesday.
Plawecki will get some time off from Triple-A Las Vegas as he recovers.
He recently represented the Mets during MLB's Futures Game, during which he drove in the game's first run with an RBI force out in the third inning…
In late June, he was promoted to Triple-A, where he's hitting .234 with a .321 OBP in 15 games.
"Obviously it's in the back of my mind," Plawecki told MetsBlog's Robert Brender, in regards to being a step from the big leagues. That said, he added, "I've still got some adjustments to make and still have a lot to learn."
According to Plawecki, if he continues to work hard and stays focused and positive the results will take care of themselves.
In this edition of the MetsBlog Q&ACast, presented by Verizon, SNY.TV's Robert Brender talked in depth with Plawecki about adjusting to Triple-A, playing in the Vegas heat, and working with pitcher Noah Syndergaard…

Why do so many women hang on to loser men and than complain that a good man is hard to find?
I don't understand I work with a women who does nothing but bash men. Every time she speaks she speaks of how bad ALL men are and how they all cheat. But yet she sits and speaks of this one loser who has been stringing her along for years he's had multiple children with other women through there "relationship" she's totally brainwashed by him. But in the next breath she speaks of how hard it is to find a good man. I see this all the time and never understand it. My personal view is that people deal with what they want to and I don't think All men are bad either. I happen to be in a very loving relationship and personally won't allow myself to be treated like shit.
- Asked by Female, 22-25
Some people have such low self-esteem that unconsciously they think they deserve to be treated badly - so they just get into one bad relationship after another.
- Response by mrscleaver16, A Married Girl, Female, 66 or older
Community Rating: Community Star
It's blame shifting. It's easier to just say there are no good men to be found in the world than to admit they picked a loser. That way, her problems are the fault of men in general and not her own short-sightedness.
- Response by falsehammer, A Mr. Nice Guy, Male, 29-35, Kansas City, Consulting
That's GREAT for you! You were very lucky to be raised well enough to be able to look for that from the start...
- Response by cutypy5840, A Thinker, Female, 36-45, Medical / Dental
I too ask that question. If you find an answer, I would like to know
- Response by paul7313, A Career Man, Male, Who Cares?, Who Cares?
All men are bad BUT she can't find a good one. Like they are some endangered species and they are hiding in caves down in Africa. Gimme a break. She would not know a good man from a bad one. The fact that she thinks this distinction even exist is proof that her view of men is completely off. Just like their are few serious issues that are black or white, people are the same. There isn;t a line in the middle of the group that separates bad from good (although she believes that she lives on the bad side of the line), it's gray. People aren;t inherently good or bad, there is alot of in between, in fact, the in between is usually the biggest part.
- Response by 7zebras, A Career Man, Male, 36-45, New York, Financial / Banking
I see this all the time also. I call it the "any man is better than no man at all." If you hang on to a loser, atleast you won't be without a man-even if he IS a jerk.I never understood that thinking.
- Response by hrdmn10, A Father Figure, Male, 56-65, Other Profession
Because she most likely give up the goods real quick and never got the chance to see what love is all about...I bet if she got in a relationship with a good man she would treat him like shit..... Just dont let her bullshit get into your relationship

Milwaukee archdiocese negligent in abuse cases, appeals court confirms
Catholic World News - November 24, 2010
A Wisconsin appeals court has ruled that the Archdiocese of Milwaukee was negligent in its handling of sex-abuse cases, and insurance companies are therefore not liable for the costs of settling abuse lawsuits.
Affirming lower court judgments, the appeals court found that insurance coverage for the archdiocese did not apply to cases involving negligent misrepresentation.

An army group of non-theists has applied for the right to hold meetings on-base at Fort Bragg in the same way that religious groups are allowed, with the aim being to have formal recognition that there is a sizable denomination of nonbelievers in the predominantly Christian U.S. Army, and also to help fellow soldiers better understand what the atheists, humanists and other non-religious denominations among them actually think and about religion and faith.
From Statesman Journal:
"We exist, we're here, we're normal," said Sgt. Justin Griffith, chief organizer of Military Atheists and Secular Humanists, or MASH. "We're also in foxholes. That's a big one, right there."
For now, the group meets regularly in homes and bars outside of Fort Bragg, one of the biggest military bases in the country. But it is going through the long bureaucratic process to win official recognition from the Army as a distinct "faith" group.
Similar groups of non-theists at about 20 U.S. military bases around the world are watching the outcome at Fort Bragg in hopes it will lead to their recognition, too, said Jason Torpy, president of the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers.
Meetings of military personnel who are non-theists — an umbrella term for the many varieties of nonbelievers — have been held at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida and aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. But groups of any kind are prohibited from meeting on Army bases without official recognition.
Should the group be successful it will mean that MASH literature would be made available alongside religious texts and that the group would be able to raise funds on-base.
As the above article goes on to note, this push isn't based on incidents of express discrimination against non-theists in the army, for instance members being denied promotions because of their lack of belief. Rather, it would be geared toward unit cohesion and breaking the taboo on non-theism.
According to the article, the Pentagon's Military Leadership Diversity Commission estimates around 20-25 percent of military personnel would say they are not religious. A much smaller percentage define themselves as atheist or humanist, but clearly there is a significant proportion for whom the stereotype of devout soldiers doesn't fit.
For those individuals it will be important to have some kind of non-faith based support and therein the feeling that there is a group to which they can go when they have issues that would perhaps be discussed in religious terms by those who do have a religious faith.
It is also hoped that in providing equal resources for non-theists in this small way, the military might avoid tensions seen in wider civilian life where faith issues and growing secularism is concerned.

Vernon C. All creation myths say that what exists was created. You can hardly say that as things really do exist then all the different creation myths must be true can you? Some readings of the Bible lead to ideas of a young Earth when all around you can see evidence of the Earth being very old indeed. At least some myths have the Earth being millions of years old - in Hinduism the Day of Brahma is 4,320,000,000 years which is impressively near to the age of the Earth as revealed by the evidence.
You say you can look around. Look at a chalk cliff. Not very old on the timescale of the Earth's history. Chalk can be laid down at up to about 10cm/1000 years in ideal conditions. There's chalk cliffs where my parents live that are over 400m high. And that chalk is on top of older rock that has been shaped by tectonic plate movements.
All the evidence points to a huge and very old Universe; why would God make a Universe so much smaller than it appears to be, and why would He make one that appears to be so much older than it is? In a nutshell: why did God pretend He'd created something so much more wonderful than He had?
Keep my fingers crossed for this groups reckognition because as always: Religion is an OPIUM for the PEOPLE!
So u feel that we believe in old stuff & are uncreative in our ways of thinking. But u know what let us go to the beginning. Let us see what Genesis say & compare that with what is today.
Genesis says that in the beginning God created the Heavens & the Earth. U know what when I look around I see the heavens & the earth. Genesis says God created the sun, themoon & the stars. Look outside. There they are. It says he created animals, fishes, birds, plants, all crawling things. I see tham every day. It says he created humans, male & female. Here we are.
In fact u say that we creationists are the stupid ones, yet everything that the bible says that God did I can see very clearly STILL HERE. All I have to do is open my eyes.
But u believe in a world of speculation & theory & fairy tale. Things that u cannot see. Nothing that has ever been proven despite trillions of dollars spent in research. Of books written by men who dont have a clue of what is going on. And we creationists are the illogical ones?? I think not. What the bible says was done I can see everyday with my own eyes. What more proof can anyone need?
So show me what u believe in.
Heather G
No U have it turned around. I had said that the sperm was more required than the egg. But if u understood tongue-in-cheek remarks u would have realised that I said that to stress the importance of the male in decision-making when it comes to abortion & children issues. That the male is just as important as the female. I will give u the benefit of the doubt that maybe there was a typo made, but just in case u do not understand the nuances of the english language, let me clarify that both the female egg & the male sperm are both required to create life. Cheeeee!!!!
Secondly, somehow we have this idea that just because we live in a modern age, everything that we believed in the past must be false & we must change our way of thinking. Even tho there is still no solid proof of what is claimed. All a scientist or someone with a few letters behind their name has to do is write a book on their beliefs & suddenly it is the truth.
I dont buy into that. We all speculate on what was. One scientist having one theory & another having another theory. One day there is a certain position, the next day it is a totally conflicting position. And this is what u choose to believe over what is already there.
Vernon, aren't you the one who thinks artificial insemination is about eggs rather than sperm?? oh let me guess, you read about it in the bible so it MUST be true. and no, don't bother reading anything else, new ideas and perspectives would just be a waste of your time, right?
Dee B
U werent too smart as a lil girl, werent u? And u still havent reached your most shining moments as yet, right?
First of all I am not a fundamentalist christian. I'll admit that my beliefs lean towards christianity tho, & the reason why I spoke about the 3 types of atheists & the outside forces is because my spirituality goes beyond the Bible. Incidentally, the Bible is a very truthful book but unfortunately most people dont read it, they just see the words & align the words with what they heve been thought as children. A good example is that Adam & Eve were the first people on earth. But that is not in the Bible. We were only told that as children. Actually God created many people before he created Adam & Eve. Check Genesis 1 to verify.
In any case, u want me to read a few books, one of which voiced the opinions of a feminist, & the other written by another feminist who has some theory that the Hebrews suppressed feminist religions. And these books, written by these feminists, assisted u in overcoming your childhood beliefs in the Bible, a thousand year old book that is written by prophets & inspired by God. And u actually brag about this?
Let me thank u very much for confirming what I said in my earlier posts which I will repeat. It isnt that atheists do not know that God exist. Everyone knows, but there are outside forces that target those with certain vices & weaknesses in their thought processes & influence their
I can't for the life of me figure out what the conservative Christians have to fear from allowing those who disagree with them to meet on military a base, or anywhere else.
If you believe that God is really in charge (that is my understanding of the fundamentalist Christian view) than don't you have to accept that EVERYTHING happens as "HE" wills it? This need to defend and protect an almighty God, makes no sense to me. If God needs humans to defend/protect/create his ideal world, than I am happy to side with those who hold a more naturalistic/science/provable world view. Besides which, I will would rather try and take the Bible seriously rather than literally as there is much to be said for following the teachings of Jesus.
Peace, happiness and freedom of thought/belief to each of you.
Thanks for the article.
As my late father always said: we do not need freedom OF religion nearly as much as we need freedom FROM religion.
Again, I must thank James D., first of all for the Constitutional quote, which many have not read nor understood, and then his comment.

Did you know that farmers and ranchers receive
consumers spend on food at home and away from home?
retailing account for 80 cents of every food dollar
1 Pound
Retail: $2.99
Farmer: $0.42
Farmer: $0.80
1 Pound
Retail: $2.99
Farmer: $0.12
I just wanted everyone to recognize the fact that the farmer's share of the retail food dollar is not responsible for your lighter wallets at the checkout!! Would love to hear from you .....let me know if you realized how little the farmer actually received!!
Farmer's share derived from USDA, NASS "Agricultural Prices," 2008.

Yes, I'm all too aware! LOL My grandparents were dairy farmers up until 13 years ago when they sold the farm and retired. My Dad and Mom ran the milking part of the farm for a few years when I was little and while at that time they were making good money, I know it's really gotten bad over the years. People don't realize how little farmers make out of that price increase. It's really not fair at all!

I believe that this economy thing is going to help us in the long run....more and more are looking to buy LOCAL...which means the GIANTS can't continue to monopolize the industry. They can't send ALL of their stuff to the local stores....which means, they won't have anywhere to put it....so they will have to reduce their size. That is one reason why my husband doesn't farm full-time....he is also a teacher. We share crop and only made $1000 on 90 acres of wheat! For one season, just a little more than 1/3 of one month's pay as a teacher.

Event Summary
On February
22nd, during the eLink conference, New Era of Networks, Inc., (Nasdaq: NEON)
an e-Business infrastructure platform provider, and Commerce One, Inc., (Nasdaq:
CMRC), announced the availability of the Commerce One BuySite to ERP Connector
for SAP R/3. The Connector, based on NEON's e-Business infrastructure products,
integrates Commerce One Buysite 6.0 with SAP R/3.
One BuySite is an e-procurement application that provides direct access to suppliers
and to Commerce One's Global Trading Web.
XML-based Connector works with NEON e-Biz Integrator, NEON adapter for SAP
R/3 and NEON adapter for Commerce One. It provides business logic to perform
account checking, create and change purchase orders, perform real-time order
status checks and synchronize data.
NEON and Commerce One are currently developing additional Connectors for Buysite
6.0, including a Connector for Oracle and a Connector for JD Edwards. The product
is available immediately from Commerce One.
during eLink 2000, Adexa, Inc., (formerly Paragon Management Systems), a provider
of business-to-business (B2B) collaborative solutions and Commerce One (Nasdaq:
CMRC), announced they have entered into a relationship to integrate Adexa's
collaborative planning solution, iCollaboration, with Commerce One MarketSite
Portal Solution addressing the B2B direct material market.
will enable MarketSite to better link buyers and suppliers as well as synchronize
order procurement and fulfillment activities through the use of dynamic business-to-business
collaboration tools.
is designed to provide MarketSite customers - Fortune 500 to 2000 buyers - improved
customer service levels through order promising, intelligent allocation, and
collaboration capabilities. The solution will also provide MarketSite's suppliers
with services such as demand visibility and order allocation capabilities, allowing
them to more rapidly respond to changing demand.
selecting a new application, IT and business professionals almost always ask
if a new application will interface with an existing system. Legacy connection
impacts how and what companies are willing to invest in. Commerce One's new
relationships speak to the importance of connectivity and synchronization on
both the "buy" and "sell" side of the equation. If the connections work and
the data can help speed implementation and increase collaboration, the results
will be positive for Commerce One.
impact of this announcement may force other organizations to accelerate their
marketplace strategies. mySAP.com's Marketplace touts an open framework where
clients can connect with other exchanges. If Commerce One's procurement and
marketplace solution successfully integrates with R\3, they have effectively
"jumped the fence" and can provide SAP customers additional choices.
The NEON and Adexa announcements are positive for organizations considering
Commerce One's solution. An efficient connection to a back end ERP system and
a collaboration tool has tremendous appeal.
you're considering an e-commerce solution, review your options. Most, if not
all, ERP providers are creating their own exchanges, or partnering with organizations
such as Commerce One, Ariba and others to provide business-to-business solutions.
If you're an SAP owner speak to both companies to ensure their functionality
is compatible with your version of R\3. If not, identify the cost to upgrade
and factor the result into the price tag. If orchestrated correctly, both companies
may compete for your business. Regardless of the final selection, connectivity
with legacy systems, real time collaboration, and access to a marketplace are
attractive features.

Governor announces new efforts to fight heroin scourge
SUFFERN – Acknowledging that heroin use is at epidemic proportions, Governor Andrew Cuomo came to Rockland Community College in Suffern Wednesday to announce a multi-pronged approach to fight the scourge.
The state will double, by 100 troopers, the number specifically dedicated to combat heroin trafficking around the state. It will also launch an educational awareness campaign on public and private college campuses. And it will make available Narcan, the new drug that can reverse the impacts of a heroin overdose.
But, the governor noted fighting heroin use takes an even deeper commitment.
"Heroin is not a problem that law enforcement alone can solve – the troopers and the sheriffs and the Das can't solve," Cuomo said. "The teachers in the education system can't solve it. It's going to take all of us and it still starts in the home and it starts with parents and it starts with friends and it starts with neighbors and if you suspect a person has an issue, do something."
Cuomo was accompanied by top State Police and education officials.
Rockland County Executive Edwin Day, a retired member of law enforcement, said, "We can beat this scourge," but it will take a multi-faceted effort.

May 4
In Computer Technology, Friends, Stories at 11:05am
Knocked around the city last week with a great group of folks. Been a long time since I've done that, picking up a camera and wandering the streets of the city, looking for pictures. Truth be told, I'm not much of a street shooter. I've always needed the box of an assignment, a destination for the pictures, and some sort of narrative in my head, however hazy, that directs my efforts. But last week, out on the avenues, the boardwalks and the eateries of Manhattan and Brooklyn, it was fun.
We freelanced it a great deal. Bogging down on the lower East Side, with a guide who seemed absolutely pre-occupied with telling us why a building might have been important 100 years ago (all valid information, just not to us, cameras in hand, index fingers twitching in sync with our focus eyes, desperate for a lively frame of street life). We dismissed her and I headed us into Katz's Deli on Houston, a place I have always had good luck shooting. Thankfully, some things don't change, and we were welcomed.
This gentleman was checking the food tickets at Katz's, and one of our group, Lex, had misplaced her's. He went by the rules, not allowing her to leave, until she found the ticket. Sensing Lex's immediate future might involve washing dishes, I looked over at the guy, and told him he reminded me of Hollywood actor Delroy Lindo, which was the truth. He relaxed a bit. I then told him that if I had an assignment to photograph my 10 most favorite, interesting faces in Hollywood, Lindo would be on my list. In lieu of getting such a job, I asked if I could take his picture. While all this was going on, Lex found her ticket.
We went out to Nathan's on Coney Island, a place with hot dogs of such stature that the very sizable fish just plucked from the ocean will have to wait.
Closing time on the the Boardwalk. Closing time for Coney Island as we know it may be coming soon with the advent of new developments.
All in all….fun on the street.
Lessee…onto my own personal area of expertise–computer technology. This is a strength I share with my bud, Moose Peterson. We are down right now in the Outer Banks, on another DLWS adventure. He recently blogged his method of organizing files. Very cool. Good, straightforward, essential, completely boring information.
He knows all that, but it is his lot in life to explain stuff like this to folk like me, who are organizationally challenged. I have written right here in this blog that Moose is a walking, talking main frame who can accomplish more in a one hour concentrated burst of energy than I can in, say, a week. I daydream. I look up movie quotes. I stare at pictures of Annie. I make coffee. I nap.
But Moose's folder blog really lit a fire under me. I thought, hell, I can do that. I use Aperture, a really elegant, versatile program. Just gotta figure out topics, and general headings, and load my stuff into those respective folders. Piece of cake.
This just about covers it. I feel better. I can really find stuff now…..more tk……
Christian says:

Ha Ha! "What the fuck was I thinking?" folder! LOL, were you peeking at my directory structure?
Justin Van Leeuwen says:
on May 4, 2009 at 11:38 am
Hmmmn, since I use Lightroom I think I have all these folders as keywords – easier for me to remember.

I nearly fell out of my chair laughing at your file structure. Probably because I need to name my files more like you have them. 😀 Thanks for the chuckle

Too freakin' funny. I love your folder structure. You are too much Joe….
Ranger 9 says:
on May 4, 2009 at 1:15 pm
You might want to consider doing this via keywording rather than via your folder structure. That would provide an easier way to manage images that belong in BOTH "Really Strange Stuff" and "WTF Was I Thinking?", for example.
Tim says:
on May 4, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Joe, I like your way of filing things beeter than moose! Funny as hell.
Daniel says:
on May 4, 2009 at 1:34 pm
I think that your organization of folders is probably going to work for you. I get now your napkin sketches with the "Nuts with the camera".
Keep on the good work

Alex says:

My lunch just came out my nose. That was simply the best posting in weeks. As much as I love your images, I sometimes think your writing surpasses your eye for insightfulness. You rock.

LOL ..nice organizing. makes perfect sense to me.
Luke Townsend says:

shhhhhhh…they'll all be doing it.

on May 4, 2009 at 3:58 pm
Silly goose, you can't "street shoot" unless you have FILM. Come on' break out one of the 35mm film camera's you have, get some Tri-x and bring it.
(not really, its t-o-m)
Lindsey says:
on May 4, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Hilarious filing system! Looks oddly similar to mine, haha. Oh how I miss Katz's Deli!
Marshall says:
on May 4, 2009 at 4:05 pm
Joe –
Can you provide a further breakdown for the categories you've offered? As it stands, all but like three pictures I have would fall into the last three folders.
Thanks ever so much.
– Marshall
Ken Ely says:

You did it again, made me smile, feel a little better at the end of my work day in EMS. That's not easy!!!
Thank you, keep 'em coming

Mr. M,
I cannot express enough how much your sense of humor touches my funny bone.
I have only made "comments" twice to the many blogs I read, and both to you.

LMAO…………I hate I couldn't make DLWS. I'm shooting weddings, a golf tourny, something more boring then a golf tounry..a marathon, some product shots, and some freelance pj work for a small local paper. But hey who wants the coast on a warm week anyways……
If you drive back through the middle of the state (Not sure why you would) give me a shout, I'll blow off the day job and we can go find some really cool old buildings to stick models in for the day.
Ken Wilcox says:
on May 4, 2009 at 11:56 pm
Joe, I just spent the last hour going through my Aperture library to mimic yours.
One project, a few albums and a light table. Clean simple, perfect.
The funniest damn "tip" I've ever read – beats the socks off the stuff that Kelby fellow pushes.
You made my day. Thanks!
Jay Mann says:

thanks Joe, I needly a good chuckle this morning in Tripoli. a great way to start the day.

Rory says:
on May 5, 2009 at 4:10 am
Nice one Joe! My parents were in NYC last week for the first time, and Katz was top of my list for places that they should visit. Any chance of coming home to Ireland for a workshop??
Ian Pack says:

Great system. How about Oh Shit! for the files you've deleted and now need?

Your folders' names, sir, are hillarious 😀
Niels T says:
on May 5, 2009 at 5:51 am
This is great! I also use Aperture and for the first year I didn't organize at all – just made a new folder each time I imported new photos. When I tried to find a filing system I had an even harder job locating the pictures
Jason Lykins says:
on May 5, 2009 at 6:44 am
Man, I love your style of writing. Very funny stuff. I've read the Hot shoe diaries no less than 3 times now just seeing if there was something I missed or something that didn't stick in this hallow head of mine the first two times. Keep it up, it's inspiring.
Brian says:
on May 5, 2009 at 8:06 am
Joe, could you talk about how to approach people to take their picture? There have been many times, in my city walks, where I find really interesting people but I have no idea how to approach them. How do you "break the ice"? Do you need them to sign some sort of release? I feel I am leaving a lot of great shots behind.
Scott says:
on May 5, 2009 at 8:42 am
You're killing me Smalls!
Bill Bogle, Jr. says:
on May 5, 2009 at 9:00 am
Joe, no worry about your folder system. I have seen you in action, Mac Book Pro gaffer taped to the pedestal, then your quick kick of the tether cord to the camera, and your laptop crashing to the floor. How do you say, "toast?" No need to worry about file structure, for they will be gone in a New York Minute.
I thought I had issues with my organization. May I suggest several counseling sessions with Peter Krogh of the Dam Book 1 & 2?
I cannot imagine you slowing down for any time to sort through the stuff. That is what assistants are for, aren't they?
Great post.

Joe, I love your sense of humor. I was not expecting it when I got down to your file system. I started laughing hysterically. It is soooo true.
Thanks for sharing

Have you approached Apple about making these folders default when you first install Aperture. The only category I see missing is "Shaky/Artistic shots from too much Starbucks." Very few people would need to change them!
rich says:

Ahgh Love the folder names need to rename mine…
On another note… Is every one still storing thier images to the default directories on the PC hard drive…
If anyone is looking for a inexpensive solution to secure backup of images try drobo… you do not need to be an IT expertise to setup…
should be in Joe's gear bag…

Love the people portraits. He DOES look like Delroy (Lindo play the bad-ass and comforting father figure equally well, and great mug to boot.)
And the fish tail peeking out the back. Classic.

Hey Rich,
FYI, we actually do have three Drobos in the studio currently, and are in the midst of changing over completely to DroboPro and ditching our XServe.

I think it's time I rethink my organizing by date, and adopt your system
I could really use that out of focus folder, that's for sure.
Howard says:

Love the file folders. I'm telling you ahead of time, I'm stealing this system for my Aperture files. You mean to tell me that you too shot out of focus once in a while? What a relief!
Just finished reading HSD and I really enjoyed it. Each chapter taught me something new which is why I bought the book in the first place. I hope to study under you at one of your seminars one day. It is on my list of things to do before I die.

This seems so very typically of you dear sir! And I so appreciate that about you!
Nice frame of the guy with the pole catching a quick bite. LOL
My WTF was i thinking was shooting a w w w w w…. well u know, last weekend was agreeing to help shoot with the pro shooter hubs turned video guy that had to have 2 D2Hs or he just wasnt happy, turning up his nose at a poor little D70. I had to settle for it and a D200. Figures. We shoulda called Carol and gotten some cool stuff to use – like SB900s….. drool
Oh and guess who got to "post produce" those 14 gigs of files!
Robin says:
on May 6, 2009 at 12:06 pm
Great post Joe and I love your folders!
I was one of those how wanted Moose to show us how he organized his files. You guys take an abnormus (is that a word?) amount of exposures each day. The question is how you organize everything in a good way. Delete all bad exposures right after importing them and only save the good ones? I have tens of thousands files on my drive but not 10% of them are good pictures in my eyes. Do you store everything? Drew maybe knows? =)
Robin – who missed Joes visit to Stockholm. Is there another one?
john coil says:
on May 6, 2009 at 8:14 pm
Joe, I loved your file folders. Made me laugh even more than Moose's blog about how he doesn't use anything smaller than full frame because he depends on woodcraft, Native American skills, sneakiness, and ego to get so close to animals that the 1.5 factor is a waste for him. Then I saw his sandhill crane shots taken a half mile away with a 600mm f4 super lens. I had tears rolling down my face!
Keep the faith, John

Hi Joe,
I'm organising a trip to NY this summer and I was wondering if you had any "photographic" advice, permits, locations, what not to etc….
Zac Grimaldo says:
on May 8, 2009 at 6:50 am
If you don't tke this bit on tour, you need to at least incorporate it into one of your classes! Kelby Training would be a good place to start!
As a client said to me, not that long ago, " I like it when you photographers are real funny!"
I do live in Texas….
David Apeji says:
on May 11, 2009 at 2:54 pm
Hi Joe, I find it interesting that you use Aperture. I always thought Photo Mechanic was your thing. I do wonder what Apple is doing though. Lightroom has now caught up and overtaken 2.0. Bibble 5 is on the way. They need to move and fast. I really don't want to have to switch, but if they kill off the product …

I saw Dr. Riser when I was diagnosed at age 17 with MS. I lived in Mobile,AL and drove an hour to see her in Fairhope. I loved her then. I have been married since and moved quite a few times, but am lucky to be in Birmingham with her again!

Dr. Emily is the most caring, compassionate doctor we have ever used. She treats my husband for stroke, and she treats him like the intelligent human being that he is.

I have been seeing Dr. Emily for over 10 years for my MS. I became a patient when I lived in Birmingham, and when I moved to Mississippi I continue to drive over 3 hrs to my appts.....Believe me....It's well worth it! She is the most knowledgeable physician that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing! She cares about every aspect of my life! I feel the same way about her Nurse Karen. Karen attends MS conferences and stays on top of MS treatment as much as Dr. Emily does! The office environment is so pleasant that I feel alittle sad when the appt. is over! I consider these people to be Friends and Family. I believe that anyone who has the good fortune to be a patient of Dr. Emily Riser should consider themselves blessed!

After 18 months of rigorous testing with other physicians and specialists, it took two weeks for Dr. Riser to diagnose my husband's problems which have totally disabled him. I owe a great deal of gratitude to this physician and appreciate her perkiness, knowledge and zeal. Would definitely recommend!!!

Named Utah's poet laureate in 2003, Ken Brewer discussed the honor during a visit to the Price area.
"I was standing there and the governor announced my appointment," noted Brewer. "And then he said, 'This is not just symbolic, it is a working position, but without pay.'"
Brewer is on the road much of the year, making presentations to public groups, teaching youth in public schools and reading poetry to college students.
"It's a great job and I love it," he stated.
Brewer taught for 32 years at Utah State University, Last Thursday, he was in Price, teaching a special class at College of Eastern Utah and presenting a reading in the student cente. Brewer started the program with the works of other Utah writers, including David Lee who was Utah's previous poet laureate.
"He was the very first," said Brewer. "There are about 16 states that have poet laureate. In fact, some of them don't even call it that. They are writers in residence, so they can be short story writers, novelists, etc. But Utah's position is for a poet."
Now retired from a regular teaching regimen, he travels to locations across Utah
"I teach on-line classes for Utah State now," he explained. "I really like that because how a student does is totally dependent on how he or she does their work. It's easier to be objective about their work because I never meet most of them face to face."
Brewer has produced more than 300 individual poems and 10 books of poetry. He has also produced a murder mystery in poetry form.
"I was a British literature major and then I found poetry," commented Brewer. "So it wasn't something I wanted to do from childhood."
Brewer will serve in the position for three years before another poet will be named.

NORFOLK - Now that the Norwood-Norfolk Central School Board of Education has approved the 2012-13 tax rate, the amount to be levied for taxes is dropping below the 2011-12 rate.
Last years $19.2 million budget called for a 5.82 percent tax levy hike and the amount to be raised by taxes was $5,924,442. This years amount is $5,940,091, according to Business Manager Lisa M. Mitras.
The district had presented voters in May with a $19.5 million spending plan that called for a 0.26 percent tax levy increase. The tax rate set by board members last week shows a tax rate decrease of 0.45 percent for residents in towns with a 100 percent equalization rate, Ms. Mitras said.
Madrid is the only one of five towns in the district with a 100 percent equalization rate. Louisville has a 95 percent equalization rate, Norfolk has an 82 percent equalization rate, Potsdam has a 96 percent equalization rate and Stockholm has a 92 percent equalization rate.
Residents in all of the towns except Stockholm will see a decline in their taxes from 2011-12, according to the business manager.
In Louisville, for instance, their 2011-12 tax rate per $1,000 of assessed value was $27.18. This years rate is $26.20.
In Madrid, last years tax rate was $25 per $1,000. That drops to $24.89 this year.
In Norfolk, residents will see their tax rate per decline from $39.49 per $1,000 in 2011-12 to $30.35 this year.
And in Potsdam, the tax rate was $26.04 per $1,000 in 2011-12, and that drops to $25.93 this year.
In Stockholm, however, the tax rate will increase slightly, from $26.32 per $1,000 last year to $27.05 in 2012-13. The equalization rate dropped from 95 percent in 2011-12 to 92 percent this year, while the equalization rate for the other towns either increased or remained the same from 2011-12.
Overall, the districts $19.5 spending plan is supported by $12.49 million in state aid.

Cigar Psychology
Could you ever imagine how much you can learn about smoker from Cigars? The way people hold their cigars can tell a lot about their moods and characters.
An issue of the Italian almanac, II Tabacco, that appeared in the early nineteen twenties contained a curious article headed "Sigaromanzia" describing twelve positions of the hand holding the cigar with captions about corresponding psychological characteristics of the smoker.
Evidently the Italian psychologists of the last century were correct. A similar experiment has been conducted recently by a team of modern experts and the results were almost the same. So pay more attention to the people that surround you, and perhaps you'll discover something new about them.
A good orator, a fine psychologist
Judicious, fair-minded
Spirited, touchy, though a man of his word
Sprightly, outgoing, self-willed
Elegant, grand
Tranquil, determined
Obdurate, selfish
Practical, vindictive
A person on his own, a trimmer
Suspicious, skeptic
Kindly, democratic, loquacious, welcoming

April 10, 2013 – Peter Sagan returned to racing with a spectacular show in Belgium today, at the Brabante Pijl. The Slovak champion of Cannondale Pro Cycling claimed his eighth win of the season with his sprint victory over Gilbert and Leukemans. Sagan again showed evidence of his tenacity and incredible power as he took control of the finale: first by closing on the late attacks, then chasing down the World Champion and winning the sprint finish.
"The finale was the most difficult part of the race," explained Sagan. "I was in a minority situation, first of all compared to Omega-QuickStep and BMC, and all the riders left me the responsibility to bring back the attacks. I found a good chance on the last climb and let it rip to close the gap on Van Avermaet and to leave behind as many riders as possible. It was a big effort. In the final straight we were against the wind and Gilbert was just behind me. I was thinking about a short sprint but his attack anticipated my plan. At that point I had only to follow him and try to pass: I'm really happy to have done it."
The Brabante Pijl was the first race for Sagan after the Ronde Van Vlaanderen and an important step ahead of the next Classic, the Amstel Gold Race. "Since the beginning of the season the 'Amstel' is one of my targets. I didn't race Paris-Roubaix to be at the top condition for the Amstel. Today's win is an important signal for me. I look forward to a close challenge on Sunday," added the Slovak champion.
Today's win is the tenth in 2013 for Cannondale Pro Cycling and also the third of the Northern Campaign. The same Green Team from today will race again tomorrow in France at the Grand Prix de Denain.

Julian Edelman goes on IR - 0 Comments
Broken foot ends season for receiver/punt returner
Given the way Julian Edelman departed Sun Life Stadium on Sunday — being whisked away from a door that would have fed him out to awaiting reporters, but not before he was spotted with crutches and a walking boot — one had to figure the situation wasn't good.
Yesterday, that feeling was confirmed. The Patriots wide receiver/punt returner was placed on season-ending injured reserve. Edelman, who had emerged in recent weeks as a bigger contributor to the offense, suffered a broken foot.

Getting Started Guide
Local Navigation
Creating your first app
The BlackBerry® Java® Plug-in for Eclipse® provides templates you can use to create a basic app. You can customize the code in the template to suit your needs, or you can create an app from scratch with an empty template.
To get you started, we'll create a version of the "Hello World" app with the Hello BlackBerry template. This version of "Hello World" is a basic UI application that provides some simple UI components. The app includes an editable text field that allows the smartphone user to type text in a field; in this example, they can type their name. The app also includes a button field. When the smartphone user types their name and clicks the Say Hello to button, the app displays a dialog box with the text Hello <username> as shown in the following screenshot.
Create the Hello BlackBerry app
- From the BlackBerry menu, click New > BlackBerry Project.
- In the Project name field, type HelloBlackBerry.
- In the New BlackBerry Project dialog, select Create new project in workspace.
- Under JRE, select Use a project specific JRE and then choose BlackBerry JRE 7.0.0 from the dropdown list.
- Click Next.
- Click Next.
- Select the Hello BlackBerry template.
- Click Finish.
Running your app
You can run and test your app on a BlackBerry® Smartphone Simulator or a BlackBerry smartphone.
The BlackBerry® Java® Plug-in for Eclipse® includes simulators for various BlackBerry smartphone models. The simulators run the same Java® code as the smartphones, so a simulator provides an accurate environment for testing how your app will function on a BlackBerry device.
Run your app in a simulator
- In the Package Explorer pane, select the project you want to run. For this example, select the HelloBlackBerry project.
To run the app in a simulator, perform one of
the following actions:
- Right-click the project, and then select Run As > BlackBerry Simulator.
- If you enabled the BlackBerry Application Development perspective, then from the BlackBerry toolbar, click the Run on BlackBerry Simulator button.
On the Home screen of the simulator, click the application icon. In this example, click
Hello BlackBerry icon.
The HelloBlackBerry app opens and displays a screen with an editable text field and a button.
- To test the Hello BlackBerry app, type your name in the Enter Name field, and then click the Say Hello to button. A dialog box displays with the text Hello <your name> and an OK button. Click OK.
- To close the app on the simulator, press the Menu key, and then select Close.
- To close the simulator, click File > Exit.
Run your app on a smartphone
- Connect the BlackBerry® smartphone to your computer with a USB cable.
- In the Eclipse® Package Explorer pane, right-click the project that you want to load on the device.
- Click BlackBerry > Load Project(s) on Device. The BlackBerry® Java® Plug-in for Eclipse® builds and packages the project. If the smartphone is password-protected, you are promted to type the password. The application is loaded on to the device.
- On the Home screen of the smartphone, click the application icon to run the app.

NARSissist Eyeshadow Palette for Spring 2014
If you have $79 laying around the new NARSissist Eye Palette is an Eyeshadow Palette is filled with with 15 shades of NARS Eyeshadow. Seriously?! I've never seen a palette this size from NARS before.
Something to squee about I'm sure.
The NARSissist Eyeshadow Palette for Spring 2014 will be available today at narscosmetics.com and launches on counter to beginning of next month.
Shades include:
- All About Eve
- Madrague
- Fez
- Bali
- Coconut Grove
- Madrague ll
- Nepal
- Ashes to Ashes
- Brousse
- Mekong
- Bellissima
- Lhasa
- Bad Behavior
- Dogon
- Pandora
I feel like I absolutely need this. It's Urban Decay Naked high end version.
Want it?
1/15/14 11:58 amy:
As much as I want this palette, I can't justify buying it. I already own every shade included, and while they are some of my most used, and the convenience of having them all in one place, there are just too many other things I want ATM…
1/15/14 11:58 Jen_m_sunshine:
Mine is on pre-order from Nordstroms – shipping to me Feb 1st!!! So excited! Am hoping the quality isn't questionable which is what seems to happen with companies like MAC, sometimes tarte, when they do the bigger palettes. Although funny -how UD rarely has that issue
1/15/14 12:51 Jen_m_sunshine:
I know! The initial swatches Christine did – didn't look too promising on a few of the shades. We shall see!!!
1/15/14 13:16 Jen_m_sunshine:
me too. and I want one of the MAC palettes!!! Apparently I have like 500 eyes because considering I only have 2 – the number of eye shadows and related palettes I own for those two eyes is sickening!!!!
1/15/14 15:21 amy:
NARS' mattes can be a bit tricky, in general, but it doesn't mean the quality isn't there. On dry/clean skin, they can appear dusty, while with primer, they can get patchy. However, if you lay down a wash of one of rhe shimmers, and build the deeper matte shade into it, the result is incredible. Even in the dusty/patchy swatches, you can see they are extremely pigmented. The colors stay imtense, and don't sheer out or get chalky, as NARS uses minimal fillers/binders.
1/15/14 13:44 Coco:
I think my wallet just made a groaning sound.
1/15/14 14:08 Carolyn:
Just curious as to how many if at all are matte shades. I don't mind a very slight sheen but generally a soft matte. Hard to tell.
1/15/14 15:15 amy:
5 are matte: Pandora, Madrague I & II, Bali, & Coconut Grove. Mekong is the only one with some glittee, and the rest are shimmers. Bellisima is also matte, with some sparkle.
1/15/14 16:39 anne:
It seems like the swatches are questionable as to whether they will translate to the eye the same way. Ive never tried any nars e/s so i really like the looks of this palette. the size of the pans and the $$ has me on hold, but i don't want to miss it. I just returned the nars "love" and "new attitude" blush because the pigment just wasn't there for me
1/15/14 17:10 Heather:
I want this so bad!! Will it be available at Sephora too??
1/16/14 13:20 amy:
It will also be available at Nordstrom!
1/15/14 17:54 Heather N King:
I ordered this from Nars' website. Can't wait!!!!!
1/15/14 18:05 Lacy:
I think this is an amazing palette as I do not have any of the Nars eyeshadows and a great addition to anyone's collection but $80 bucks?! I'll have to pass. plus at first glance it looks like i have a majority of similar eyeshadows shades anyway so not sure I'd be able to justify the purchase. But i'll drool over it any way at a safe distance with my wallet buried away. lol
1/16/14 23:55 Cristina:
When I first saw this I was in awe! But I need another eyeshadow palette like I need a punch in the face…If anyone gets any swatches please upload!
1/17/14 20:13 Meg:
This is a beauty. I was obsessing over this so much so that I decided to cave and get it – I thought I missed out because I had seen it on the NARS website but then it disappeared, and it sold out on Nordstrom.com. I finally found it at Lord & Taylor's site – just a heads up for anyone looking for it!!
1/20/14 11:11 Ann Marie:
I kind of want it because you figure it's $34 for one eyeshadow and you get all of these for $79. And yes, I'm just trying to talk myself into it. Ha.
1/22/14 0:00 Staryu:
Damn, you make a good point. Hmm, definitely considering now.
1/27/14 12:13 Leslie:
"If you have $79 laying around" HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Love your sense of humor! Actually, I don't at least not for makeup, BUT, i will FIND IT just for this palette! OMG so pretty, but i bet this "mug" (shadows) are TINY! Love! Thanks Muse! -Leslie

The Groove Criminals
The Groove Criminals present Lo-fi synths, a collection of hits and loops taken from some of the more unusual synths and noise boxes that inhabit the darker corners of GCHQ. No midi, USB, or even keys grace this collection of various DIY, hand made, one-off and limited run synth boxes.
From 1 bit modular nastiness built into a video case, the classic Atari punk console (in a tin) or handmade filters to more unusual small production units like the Bugbrand Board Weevil or Bleep Labs Thingamagoop, this set of samples maybe low on fidelity but it's big on character.
This unique collection is perfect for adding some raw, lo-fi magic, tough as nails synth drops and unusual FX to your IDM, Dubstep, Glitch-hop, Dirty Electro (or just about any other electronic) productions.
This collection contains:
• 86 single hits 55 loops 81 FX
• 26 synth throbbs
• 88 percussive samples (kick/snare/hi-hat/percussion)
• 16 pitched drones
• All samples are presented as high quality 24 bit WAV files
• 105 REX2 files (55 loops and an extra 50 bonus beats created with the percussive samples)
|WAV • 150MB unzipped

Shower Countersink. Mud-pan shower bases for tile require the drain to be flush with the subfloor. Instead of using a reciprocating saw to shave a beveled-edge hole to fit the tapered drain body, you can now use the Stall Saw Adapter. It's essentially a large countersink bit that fits over most 5 1/2-inch hole saws and cuts the shoulder bevel for the drain assembly after the hole saw cuts out the middle. The tool is made from reinforced plastic and comes with three reversible blades; you supply the hole saw and arbor (a one-tooth wood-cutting hole saw is recommended). It costs about $90 from the manufacturer. Stall Saw, 610/457-0907. www.stallsaw.com

Simply put, the Ouya could be doing better. People are buying the Android driven alternative to traditional consoles, yet 73% of its owners have yet to actually purchase a game.
Often, to get people to put money down on anything, or to simply generate excitement, advertising is employed. Though the jury is still out on the following Ouya ad.
