"NEVER before seen pictures that appear to show Adolf Hitler rehearsing for his hate-filled speeches have emerged. The amazing pictures, taken in the 1920s, depict the Fuhrer in a series of poses, using a series of bizarre expressions and gestures, which he would practise and review before addressing the German public."

Didn't you know that once someone famous dies you are supposed to forget about all the mistakes they made in life? It was on the memo about TPS cover sheets.

Is there not a risk of "Good religious people being bombarded by insurance companies trying to push contraception on them"?

I wish I didn't live in a place where this is such a big deal. Such a minor issue taking up major time. We don't even want people to have the option to do stuff that has nothing to do with us. I mean wow.

Remember: contraception can prevent abortions. I bet if altar boys could get pregnant the catholic church would be all for contraception. The male hipocrisy in this is staggering. Also, in real catholic countries like Belgium, Spain, Italy, France and even Ireland, contraception is not an issue at all.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
I'm not a religious expert or anything, but does the bible or anything really even mention contraception? I'm probably opening an entirely vague, volatile, and gray can of worms with that question, huh? LOL

Pretty sure if God wants you preggers, a thin bit of latex isnt going to stop him.

Of course, nothing prevents reproduction like having no sex at all. Ever.

You could possibly use something like Recuva to recover them. Like Glen said, it should be recoverable so long as there werent' any writes or file changes after the deletion.

For some reason, Derrick, I really can't imagine you saying "holy shit" about a movie trailer. ANY movie trailer... (I mean, I can see you getting excited, just not using that particular phrase.)

Got a certified letter yesterday. Nearly crapped my pants. Why am I afraid of receiving certified mail? Well, that's the kind of life I've made for myself, I guess.
I understand your paranoia; I've never a received a certified letter that was good.
- Akiva
No. Not too bad. Just another entity letting me know that they will be helping make sure I once again won't see any of my tax refund. Could have been MUCH worse.

I've got the whale sounds, the Mad Magazine one, and an XTC flexi.

Some group (AV? yearbook?) in my 12th grade class did one. I also had the whale sounds one from National Geo. I might still have them somewhere.

McDonald's put one in the news paper when I was a kid. If the crew on the record was able to sing the entire menu, you won the contest. I still remember the entire song, even though my disc wasn't a winner.
- Rah-PM 2012
YES! We had heaps of Solid Gold ones.
- Melly Botts
I still have that McDonalds one that Rah was talking about, and some others. I also remember having to stack coins near the middle to weight them down so they would spin and not get held still by the weight of the arm holding the needle.

"The Board of Supervisors this week agreed to raise fines for anyone who throws a football or a Frisbee on any beach in Los Angeles County. In passing the 37-page ordinance on Tuesday, officials sought to outline responsibilities for law enforcement and other public agencies while also providing clarification on beach-goer activities that could potentially disrupt or even injure the public. According to Lucy Kim, from the LA County Department of Beaches and Harbors, a first-time offender will have to pay a $100 fine. For a second offense, beach-goers will face a $200 fine. Three or more infractions within one year will result in a $500 fine, Kim said."

Your kids could also end up costing you big bucks: the ordinance also prohibits digging any hole deeper than 18 inches into the sand except where permission is granted for film and TV production services only.
- SteVe C
Surely there is some back story where someone died or something that makes this make sense?
- Rah-PM 2012
Dude I don't think i would ever be let out of prison if this were the case when i was growing up in HB

"So, what you in for?" "Ultimate Frisbee.....on the beach."
- Rah-PM 2012
But what if you dig a big hole with a frisbee and then throw in there? Double whammy?

Rah, that's what I asked this morning when I posted this. "Some councilman's daughter get Marsha'd?"

I've seen much worse, but it wasn't my favorite. Prince is still my favorite. I will say that Madonna does understand spectacle.
- Katy S
i love it because the production was done by Moment Factory and Cirque du Soleil so i feel like Montreal put on the show. ya, i'm Canadian. we do that. ; )
- jambina
Girl, I was there with you and I wasn't crazy about it. I did like the Cirque du Soleil vibe but could have done without Madonna.
- Corinne L
I wish they would have just left the cirque peeps on, the guy on the wire was the most entertaining part :)
- Scott (Honey Boo-Boo!)
I thought it was okay. It didn't blow me away. It seemed awkward and stilted at times (pretty much all of her dancing) but she gets a thumbs up for theatricality. The stage was amazing. I think I liked everything but her actual performance. That and her new single. Yuck.
- DB Botts - Just DB Botts
It was horrible. And Madonna moved, well, like a 52 year old woman.
- The original Kevin
I was mainly impressed by how good it looked for something put on in Indianapolis. A very national- or world-level production. I wasn't overly concerned about the details since it's only a few minutes long, not a full-blown concert. I enjoyed hearing a few old Madonna songs.
- Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
I did like the light show. That's about it
- Valz 4 Botts
Considering I once almost made football (well, sports) my career, it's amazing that I happily didn't see even one minute of any of it. I was webbing, tryna decide if I need to mess with some php I don't know.

Although I don't like reality shows or talent shows, so there is evidence of my bias.

I'm surprised I liked it so much. I've never watched Idol.

Much better than idol if you like to see people who can actually sing

^This. I really appreciate that they don't show anyone who is really horrible like they do on Idol and some of the other shows. I've stopped watching the other ones because that drives me batty.
- Katy S
I love that the auditions are all people with good voices. We're dvring it tonight, but I'll be very excited to watch it tomorrow.
- Heather
Derrick - Aside from the fact that the people are actually talented, I like that it isn't mean-spirited like a lot of other reality shows.
- Katy S
No, I get that. My lack of interest stems from going to film school and writing and producing and not being to find any work because of reality and "non-scripted" shows. I might be a little bitter. Also, I work nights, am in school and don't have much time. I mean if Adam Levine can't get me to watch, there's little hope. Enjoy it!
- Derrick
That totally makes sense. And, like anything else, it's not for everyone.

I am watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead

Regarding the halftime show, this is what someone from high school said in my FB stream: "Please get Metallica or the Foo Fighters. Someone who still is relevant." Um....
I've thought about buying one of the Epi Les Pauls and putting minis in it to make a replica of Townshend's from The Kids Are Alright. Complete with the stenciled number and the Dimarzio in the middle.

When I say, "take it back," I mean that I'll hopefully get a replacement or repair under warranty.

It's an Epi - they'll order you another one.

Guitar Center has a 30-day "no questions asked" warranty. So they refunded the value of the original guitar to a gift card and then used that to order another, brand new, identical one. Should be here in 3-5 days. Which means that I can't us it in rehearsal on Wednesday, but I should have it in time for Sunday morning. Kudos to Guitar Center for handling this so well.
- I like big Botts
The replacement one arrived today, and the USB worked fine. Yay! Unfortunately, there was some sort of electrical problem where one of the pickups was bleeding signal (even with the volume off), so I returned it this evening and moved up to a Gibson.

That can be touch and go too - I spent 12 years searching for a Les Paul that was under $5000 and didn't suck. Ended up with my "Guitar of the Week" goldtop Les Paul Deluxe and haven't looked back.
