You see – Sarah Palin, the very same failed Vice Presidential Candidate of yesteryear, explained for us when it is okay to say retarded. The test is that if you are joking, doing it for show and trying to get a rise out of someone it is okay. Behind closed doors in anger – not okay. You can’t be going around now telling everyone they are retarded just because you are angry. But making fun of Bob the office clown’s antics at the water cooler – okay! You can tell everyone how much he “LOOKS LIKE A FACK’N RETARD!” and everyone can ROFLCOPTER till lunch.

Minorities, consult your local leadership, I can’t tell you when and where to say retarded. Queen Sarah doesn’t speak for you (but you knew that I’m sure, unless you’re retarded). This ability to be able to – run around the local theme park yelling “RETARD, RETARD!, RETARD!” is a very freeing thing. WP, you know how much you are going to love this? Grocery store, bags of frozen peas on your head and your friends yelling at your retarded ways. That’s definitely not lame.

Forget CNN and the rest. This is going to be your best way to find out what is going on first hand during this Hatian earthquake crisis. The next best bet is this Google Live search for “earthquake” – it will give you tweets and news stories as they come in.

Update: Here is an excellent resource, PicFog – think images sourced from the cloud (I guess). I’m sure this page will generate a good view of the current events.

JAMIE LEE CURTIS: Gridlocked (Out) At Christmas I am spending my holiday in the mountains of Idaho in our log cabin, and after a lovely Christmas Eve pizza party, the lights went out — everywhere.

She laments about not having power on the holidays. Oh and eating Activia without flushing water. Wow, but touching.

I love the entire set of warnings in the instruction set, especially since it starts with: Do NOT save deleted messages on the server. It gets fun in part three, my emphasis.

Do NOT save deleted messages to your [Gmail]/All Mail folder as some clients will try to empty this folder and ultimately fail. This can lead to delayed mail access or excessive battery consumption on a mobile device.

Recently I upgraded to a new machine with Windows 7. Before my last crash I made a copy of my Winamp folder (from C:\Program Files\) onto my media drive. I’ve been using iTunes now for months and have decided that Winamp needs to return to my desktop. As my machine is the home theater machine you sometimes just need a program that works and one that makes it easy to control the flow of music and the Winamp developers have always understood this concept. You can use the Jump to File to plan your next few songs, the visualizer to just black out the TV to hide the player controls (and wow some), but I digress.

This method of restoring your Winamp folder is pretty simple and will restore your media library, top played songs, custom playlists and more. You can restore to higer versions within the version 5 series of Winamp if that was your last backup version as well. The trick to a seamless upgrade/restore is to keep your media in the drive tree (My Computer) at the same location. If you have all or most of your media on a separate drive then this should be easy – as on either an upgrade or a fresh install – you can easily make that drive have the same letter (unless you’ve somehow had a media drive on C:\ ?). After installing Windows 7 on my fresh machine I simply put my media drive back at S:\ by going to Computer Management and then Disk Management (as with Windows XP, 2000, Vista).

So now we’re assuming you have backed up your old Winamp folder, somewhere, on a thumb drive, separate drive, or in Windows Backup somewhere to media.

*Get a copy of Winamp (stay in the same version series, try upgrading from there – this written for version 5 series).

*Install Winamp (from Website) – On Windows 7 64-bit Winamp wants to install to the x86 version of the Program Files Folder. I changed this to the default (C:\Program Files\) folder that Winamp might expect from my previous install on Windows XP. I installed everything, but we’ll do it again so skip the Winamp Remote program on this round should you desire to download and install it. Do not run Winamp on exit of the install process.

* Navigate Windows Explorer (Win+E) to the Winamp install folder (C:\Program Files\Winamp) and delete all the files.

* Restore your copy of the Winamp folder to the Winamp install folder. You can copy the contents into this folder or the Winamp folder into the Program Files directory. If you have backed the program directory up on a backup media and can selectively install or extract that folder try to get it to land here or move it here.

* Launch Winamp. Don’t use any desktop or other icons – navigate directly to the Winamp install folder.
Install Winamp – Install the latest version again to the folder we have installed to, deleted and pasted into.
Launch Winamp.

* ???

* Profit

Now you have the current version with your existing media library. If you have migrated over to iTunes and want to move to or restore a old Winamp install like I did you can import your media library over from iTunes in Winamp 5.56, the current version as of this writing, by using the menu option once you have the media library window open. I went to my top played and clicked on the number one song and it instantly played (rather was queued and then played as that was my default for parties).

His trading card should just be a mugshot.

According to the Cincinnati Enquirer the Bengals wide-receiver is a famly man. Of course the readers said ‘not so fast’, in droves. Good thing the national media hasn’t forgotten that he was released after five arrests. Even a story today about his fresh broken arm references it.

Henry was a key part of the 2005 Bengals team that made the playoffs, but fell out of favor because of five arrests.

(via Bengals WR Henry breaks left forearm – NFL – Yahoo! Sports.)

But the Bengals took him back. I guess Bob Huggins is on their staff helping pick talent (and writing stories for the Enquirer?).

All I can say is “WOW!” and tell you to read the story yourself, it sure is worth it. It just gets better as you read it.

According to court documents, the State Police Digital Evidence Unit was called in to investigate the department’s computers, and Poirot contacted the town’s network administrator to track Vigiard’s account. The administrator said all computer accounts are protected by passwords, so it is not possible for someone to access an account other than his or her own. The digital evidence unit found that time stamps reporting access to the pornographic files matched the times Vigiard had been logged into the system.

…

Poirot told state police the Adams Police Department is not properly equipped or trained to handle cases of child pornography so none should be located anywhere on the department’s computers or network.

"Sexy Women", provided by a simple Google Image Search

Male students at St Andrews University were asked to rate female faces for attractiveness and health.

The study found that girls with an average weight and build were ranked as being the most attractive and healthy.

Researchers said the findings sent out a strong message to young women who believe being underweight is considered to be attractive.

Hasn’t the Queen song Fat Bottom girls taught us anything? Girls like those on the left are the ones men all over the world are after; sure they are trim and slim – but they also have curves. Beyoncé, Shakira, Pamela Anderson, Angelina Jolie, Vida Guerra… these are not tiny women. I’ve been personally attracted to a few smaller women in my time, but my blood boils at the sight of a curvy woman with the right moves. So this study spells out what we already know. Duh.
