Me too. That is just so sad  :(

Don't some people like this idiot have better things to do then to go and shoot innocent people?

This was a terrible tragedy. Let me get this straight: according to a CNN article I read the guy shot 50 people?!?! Is he nuts?!?! They also concealed the theaters name ..though it mightve been mentioned somewhere. Sigh I haven't been to the movies in 3 years and this scenario    makes me a little more fearful now :/

I had to wake up to the news of this shootout. This tragedy is just appalling and terrible. :(

Let's hope justice takes its course with James Holmes.

Double post, sorry.

For those interested, I recorded the CBS News Special Report intro when they broke in for the press conference earlier this afternoon. This is the red version of the intro (I have always seen blue).

This entire situation is very troubling and upsetting and I'm not just talking about with the shooter, I'm talking about his mother also who just happens to be a psychiatric nurse so she's specialized to deal with people who suffer from or show signs of mental illness and yet her response when the police call her is, "You've got the right person." WHAT? :huh: Since I don't know any further details from that, I'll reserve any further judgement on that statement, but if she knew her son was not in the right place mentally and if she didn't try to get him any help I personally think she's as responsible for what happened as he is. Nonetheless, my heart goes out to the families of victims who were injured or killed. :( It's interesting and amazing how in tragic events like this you hear stories of how some people chose not to go somewhere or they went to this place late which altered the outcome of what might have happened to them.

When the Justice(s) upheld Obamacare, I saw the red version. I think they've used red for HD and blue for SD.

IIRC, didn't he get sued for sexually harassing someone at TWC a few years back?  :unsure:

yep.


I thought so. Thanks for the clarification  :thumbsup:

Speaking of autographed photographs of TWC meteorologists, either former or current, I do have a photo of Jim Cantore I got from him a years ago, signed by the Can-man himself. I can scan and post the photo here if anyone wishes to see it.



Oh heck yes! I sent in one of those TWC autograph request forms about a year ago and never got one... I guess they did away with that!


Can't scan because my printer/scanner does appear to be working anymore  :no: 

I have a Canon MX870 printer and scanner, and I get this error message on the LED screen "Error 5012: Turn off power and try again. If problem still persists, check your manual for instructions." I turned it off again and again, nothing. Plus I had long lost my printer's manual. Then I tried looking online for answers and it turns out that I need to replace the flatbed motor on the scanner, which is costly. Does anyone here have a better solution to error #5012 instead of buying an expensive motor for my dead scanner?  :blink:

Yes..that could be the case. I got so angry that I deleted the recording off of my DVR. If they continue playing xmas tunes tonight I will upload a clip of two on YT for comparison purposes tomorrow.

Anyone think security at movie theaters will become a nightmare now like at airports? :o

Just what I did. Went to a WalMart eighty miles away from my house and bought a new Canon printer. I'm installing it as we speak  :thumbsup:
