Domino's Pizza Safe Sound - Menselijk motorgeluid voor elektrische scooter (YouTube)
"The electric scooters that deliver from Domino's Pizza in the Netherlands are almost silent. That makes them potentially dangerous because, like ninjas, you can't hear them coming. So speakers on the scooters emit appropriate, if delightfully amateurish sound effects."-Neatorama

Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien OBE (16 April 1939 - 2 March 1999), known professionally as Dusty Springfield and dubbed The White Queen of Soul, was a British pop singer whose career extended from the late 1950s to the 1990s. With her distinctive sensual sound, she was an important white soul singer, and at her peak was one of the most successful British female performers, with 18 singles in the Billboard Hot 100 from 1964 to 1970. She is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the U.K. Music Hall of Fame. International polls have named Springfield among the best female rock artists of all time.

Dusty Springfield, "British Queen of Soul" if you lived in England. A great voice though. Part of the "Swingin' Sixties". Remember when you women as girls used to "rat" your hair out. I remember my sister and all her friends getting ready for "Teen Club" dances with all the teasing, backcombing and fucking 'Aqua net' AHHHHHH!!!!
BttbBob replied:
Dusty Springfield... Remember the song 'Son of a Preacher man' in the movie 'Pulp Fiction'? That's her...

Dusty Springfield ~ She was something of a tomboy in her early years, and was given the nickname "Dusty" because she played football with boys in the street. Her image, supported by a peroxide blonde beehive hairstyle, evening gowns, and heavy make-up, made her an icon of the Swinging Sixties.

And, Joe S said:
Dusty Springfield, another fact I learned in high school. I'm just kidding you, I was gone from high school when Dusty came on the scene. I was a SAC trained killer by then. Dusty was all right I guess but she didn't impress me very much. I much prefer Motown, then and now. Sally can relate, right Sally?
I'll tell you who else impresses me... Penny... Penny... Penny.
The monitor issue has been resolved, but it amazes me how much time can be spent on something that should be so simple.

Actor Noah Wyle was arrested at a healthcare protest in Washington, D.C. on Monday, following in the footsteps of his former "ER" co-star George Clooney, who also taken into police custody at a recent political rally.
Wyle, 40, best known for his roles in television dramas "ER" and "Falling Skies," took part in a protest with grassroots organization ADAPT seeking to stop cuts in funding for Medicaid that would affect medical services for the elderly.
"Today, I took part in an effort by Adapt to bring attention to the Medicaid cuts that have been made by many States and are threatened to be made on a Federal level ... This issue is about Civil Rights not about medicine," Wyle said in a statement released through is representatives.
ADAPT is an acronym for Americans Disabled for Access to Public Transit, and the group says in a statement on its Website that it organizes activists to engage in nonviolent action that assures civil rights for people with disabilities.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Kerry Washington and Forest Whitaker are adopting some of the nation's worst-performing schools and pledging Monday to help the Obama administration turn them around by integrating arts education.
The President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities will announce a new Turnaround Arts initiative as a pilot project for eight schools with officials from the White House and U.S. Department of Education. Organizers said they aim to demonstrate new research that shows the arts can help reduce behavioral problems and increase student attendance, engagement and academic success.
The two-year initiative will target eight high-poverty elementary and middle schools. The schools were among the lowest-performing schools in each of their states and had qualified for about $14 million in federal School Improvement Grants from the Obama administration. The arts initiative will bring new training for educators at the Aspen Institute, art supplies and musical instruments totaling about $1 million per year, funded by the Ford Foundation, the Herb Alpert Foundation and other sponsors.
Schools selected for the project are in both urban and rural areas. They are in New Orleans; Denver; Boston; Washington; Des Moines, Iowa; Portland, Ore.; Bridgeport, Conn.; and Lame Deer, Mont.
A smart and savvy dragon, an aged vampire and a Beverly Hillbilly are among the richest fictional characters, according to a new ranking.
Smaug, a hyper-intelligent, short-tempered dragon and the star of the upcoming "Lord of the Rings" prequel whose estimated worth is a hefty $62 billion, headed the list of Forbes' "Fictional 15" wealthiest imaginary characters, it said on Monday.
Flintheart Glomgold, the Scottish-South African diamond mining magnate and nemesis of misery Scrooge McDuck, wasn't far behind on the list with a $51.9 billion fortune, built through "mining and theft," Forbes said.
With vampire-themed franchises showing no signs mortality, Carlisle Cullen, the 371-year-old vampire from the "Twilight" books and films who has been accruing interest on a small savings account since 1670, placed third with $36.3 billion, up $100 million since last year.
Jed Clampett, the patriarch of the oil-rich "Beverly Hillbillies" clan in the popular 1960s television show was fourth with a fortune estimated at $9.8 billion.

Aging rocker Ted Nogent (R-Draft Dodger) is scheduled for a Tuesday court hearing in Alaska and expected to plead guilty to transporting a black bear he illegally killed.
The conservative activist signed a plea agreement with federal prosecutors that was filed Friday in U.S. District Court.
The plea agreement says Nogent illegally shot and killed the bear in May 2009 on Alaska's Sukkwan Island after wounding a bear in a bow hunt, which counted toward a state seasonal limit of one bear.
According to the agreement, the hunt was filmed for Nogent's Outdoor Channel television show "Spirit of the Wild."
The agreement says Nogent knowingly possessed and transported the bear in misdemeanor violation of the Lacey Act.

The judge presiding over an inquiry into British press standards on Monday rebuked the head of Sky News, the influential news channel of Rupert Murdoch-controlled BSkyB, for breaking the law by hacking into emails to generate a story.
BSkyB, the highly profitable satellite broadcaster 39-percent owned by Murdoch, had previously avoided any fall-out from the hacking scandal but its admission this month that it accessed private emails for a story in 2008 on insurance fraud risked dragging the company into the frame.
John Ryley, the head of Sky News, has defended the channel's actions and said it was acting in the public interest, but Leveson appeared annoyed as Ryley and a barrister in the inquiry discussed whether the action broke the Ofcom broadcasting code.
Ofcom is already looking closely at parent company BSkyB as to whether its owners and directors are fit to own a broadcast license in line of the problems at the newspaper division.
Ryley also apologized for an earlier statement made to the Leveson inquiry asserting that no Sky journalists had intercepted communications, but at the end of the 80 minute hearing was given the chance to state that Sky News was entirely separate from the newspaper division of News Corp.
Former "Prison Break" actor Lane Garrison was arrested Sunday at his Beverly Hills apartment on suspicion of domestic violence, according to TMZ.com. The alleged incident reportedly involves Garrison's ex-girlfriend, Ashley Mattingly.
Police previously went to Garrison's apartment on Saturday after receiving a domestic violence call, but he was not there at the time. Garrison was being held on $50,000 bail as of Sunday night, however his lawyer Harland Braun tells the gossip site his client "decided to stay" in jail overnight, so he can tell his side of the story to detectives as soon as possible Monday morning.
Braun insists Garrison showed up at his ex's building to walk his acting coach's dog: the associate lives in the same building as Mattingly, who Braun says got violent. Braun tells TMZ he thinks Mattingly deliberately got Garrison arrested, because he was just six days from ending his probation.
Earlier this year, Garrison reportedly was at the center of a domestic violence complaint that did not lead to an arrest.
Garrison spent 18 months in prison for DUI and vehicular manslaughter in connection with a fatal car crash.

Before joining Republican Mitt Romney's presidential campaign last week as a spokesman, Richard Grenell was a prolific - and inflammatory - voice on Twitter, posting biting commentary on subjects ranging from Newt Gingrich's weight to Michelle Obama exercising in the White House.
No more.
Since he joined Romney's campaign as foreign affairs spokesman, many of Grenell's most provocative musings on Twitter have been deleted in a cleanup that is the latest reminder of how social media has become a sideshow - and at times more - in the 2012 campaign.
In an email, Grenell, who was spokesman for the U.S. mission to the United Nations during George W. Bush's presidency, acknowledged to Reuters that he began removing messages from Twitter after their content was reported by Politico on Friday.
Before he scrubbed his Twitter postings, Grenell had tweeted 7,577 times, according to a screen shot taken last Friday by the Huffington Post. As of Monday, Grenell's Twitter feed listed 6,762 tweets.
A Serbian police chief says a stolen Paul Cezanne painting worth €100 million ($130 million) has been handed back to Switzerland.
The masterpiece by the famous French impressionist, titled "The Boy in the Red Vest," was discovered in Belgrade on April 12 after police arrested four Serbs suspected of robbing the E. G. Buhrle Collection in Zurich on Feb. 10, 2008.
Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said the painting was flown Monday to Switzerland on a special flight. He says "(I) hope they guard it well" from now on.
The suspects were caught as they were trying to sell the painting to a Serb for a reported €3.5 million ($4.6 million).

Six men climbed down into the crater of a volcano in Italy on Monday, in protest at the closure of the organisation they worked for which maintained trekking paths on Mount Vesuvius, near Naples.
The men have said they will stay as long as it takes and have positioned themselves on a projection of rock about 10 metres (32 feet) below the crater's entrance, where they risk being crushed by a rock-fall.
Their former colleagues have been winching food and water down to them.
The men were among 55 people who lost their jobs in 2008 when the "Vesuvius, Nature and Work" cooperation was closed due to lack of regional funding, and the final salary they were paid at the end of their contracts has now run out.
Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner is officially bidding Chicago goodbye.
Hefner penned a column for the Chicago Tribune thanking the city where he began the magazine in the early 1950s. Playboy closed its Chicago offices as part of a plan to consolidate in Los Angeles, where Hefner has lived for decades.
Hefner reminisces in the column about his early life in Chicago, including his college and Army years and the magazine's beginnings. He makes frequent references to Chicago landmarks and says the city shaped Playboy in ways he didn't realize, calling Chicago "the most significant representation of true, post-war America."
The 86-year-old says it's bittersweet to watch the Playboy offices close in a city that he loves.
