Hate Your GPS's Voice? Garmin Lets You Record Your Own

. . . "The free download (for PC only) lets users record their own voice directions and load them onto compatible Garmin nüvi devices (Here's the list; all but the nüvi 300 and 600 series are supported.) Garmin says the process of recording directions and loading onto a device takes roughly 30 minutes.

"Voice commands can be recorded for any of Garmin's standard instructions, such as "Enter Roundabout" and "Make a U-turn." Users can also share customized voices with each other, which I bet would make for some great pranks -- "Turn left! No, wait, turn right! Actually, you'd better just turn around. I'm lost. Sigh.' " . . .

How GPS voice-over recording works.   "Bob Dylan, one-time voice of a generation, is allegedly mulling offers to become the voice of satellite navigational devices. The default for GPS audio is anonymous and generic, but celebrities like Dennis Hopper and Mr. T have recorded alternative tracks. How do such voice-overs—which contain a seemingly infinite number of specific directions—actually get recorded?" . . .

Find and Install Fun New In-car GPS Voices  "You can now put Homer Simpson of The Simpsons in charge of your personal navigation and safety, thanks to a new deal he has inked with GPS maker TomTom. The authentic Homer's voice will not only provide precision directions, but will comment on your driving ("You are a genius!") and embellish with a cackle. Hear some voice samples, and buy and install Homer's voice via TomTom's Homer page.

Imagine instead of hearing "Recalculating", you hear:

Veiled Betrayal: Respect Muslim Women, But Don't Sell Them Out.

"But some very brave westernized Muslim girls and women have also paid a high price for their decision to dress Western-style. They've been threatened with death, battered, imprisoned at home, rushed into forced marriages, escorted to and from school — and have been the victims of honor killings."

Phyllis Chesler   "The stewardesses of Air France are outraged and have just refused to don headscarves when they fly into Tehran, as the mullahs have demanded.

"Viva La France!

"The French stewardesses have more dignity, more sobriety, and more self-respect than many American and European women do, beginning with trendsetting celebrities, female diplomats and first ladies, who have all donned headscarves, (hijab), face masks, (niqab), or full burqas when visiting Muslim countries — and as carefree fashion statements.

"For example, Madonna, three Kardashian sisters, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry and Nicole Richie have all recently posted photos of themselves in Islamic "drag," either on visits to Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Morocco or just because it suited their fancy. They're posed wearing filmy, long scarves (Katy Perry), heavy black hijab (Kylie Kardashian, Rihanna), niqab or face masks (Madonna), heavy hijab plus abayas (Gomez) and almost full burqas (Kim and Khloe Kardashian).

"Such female celebrities may influence Western girls more than female Western political leaders can. They don't understand that they are "slumming"; they can remove their exotic Islamic garb and pose naked whenever they choose to do so. This isn't possible for Muslim girls and women who are forced to wear the Islamic veil (headscarf, face mask, or full head, face and body covering) and who risk death when they resist.

"Being forced to adopt a colonizing custom that subordinates women; being forced to "pretend" that one is a Muslim when that isn't the case; being made to feel shameful, shameless, if one is naked-faced, is an act of psychological warfare.

"Remember the sole female Navy sailor who was forced to don hijab on board while Iran held American sailors in captivity? It was an outrage, and reminiscent of how Barbary pirates once treated their captured Christian female slaves." . . .

American Silliness April 17th, 2016

Multiculti education guru denounces showing up on time, hard work, and clear language as part of white oppression. . . "Translation: Sign on the far left ideology or get out! Remember that this woman receives larges sums of money from educational administrators, who do the hiring. And grant tenure."

George Clooney denounces ‘obscene’ big money in politics after hosting Hillary fundraiser where seats at head table sold for $343,400

Gender diverse bathrooms, locker rooms, sports, and more  "In our private moments of honest introspection, we all know how this will end.  So let’s just fast forward to the Full Monty, so to speak, and surrender to the superior intellect and prescient vision of the proud, modern American progressives (AKA: neoprogs) and embrace the inevitable consequences and conclusions.  Here’s but a short list of those:" . . .

Please Help Pay For Lindsay’s $226,000 Student Debt, She’s Just Trying To Help The World…   "Lindsay would like us all to vote for Bernie, so her $226,000 debt would go away. Because she’s just trying to help the world. Wouldn’t you please help?"   Beach Mythology?

Clemson Quickly Ends Students’ Occupation Demanding Safe Spaces And That Speech Be Criminalized
"The South Carolina school is famous, of course, because school officials swiftly apologized back in October for serving Mexican food during a food-themed “Maximum Mexican” night in campus cafeterias." 

Campus community hunts for missing vulva  "University of New Mexico students are on the hunt for a vulva costume that has gone missing after being used during SexUality Week last month."

A planned left-right debate at the school was abruptly cancelled at the last-minute based on objections to the “right-wing” views of one participant.

Bill Nye, “The Science Guy,” OK with Jailing Climate Change Deniers

What? So now a transgender or even a man who dresses as a transgender and enters a girl’s bathroom is a “fight for civil rights.” Are you kidding me? This insanity needs to stop!
"States need to stop this insanity now! Businesses shouldn’t be subject to criminal penalties from forbidding transgenders or transsexuals into a woman’s washroom, shower or locker room. This isn’t about discrimination. This is about “local control”. The federal government shouldn’t be holding states “hostage” for such stupidity. What’s next bathrooms for pedophiles?"

To what was Bruce Springsteen referring when he said this?

"To my mind, it's an attempt by people who cannot stand the progress our country has made in recognizing the human rights of all of our citizens to overturn that progress," Springsteen said in a statement."

Answer: "The newly enacted law requires individuals to use bathrooms that correspond to the gender on their birth certificate, and has drawn fierce criticism for excluding legal protections from gay and transgender people." North Carolina has opposed this law.

California clothing manufacturers fleeing minimum wage hike  "A fifteen dollar per hour minimum wage is coming to California, so break out the champagne and let’s get this party started! Unless you work in the apparel manufacturing industry, that is, in which case you may want to start looking for some cheaper drinks since you’ll likely be out of a job soon." . . .

Under the Bus; There is so much wrong with Hillary

Via Odysseus

Back in my day, it was considered immoral for a president to get divorced.  What about a woman who hangs onto the coattails of a serial harasser of females, Bill, and then asks women to vote for her on the basis of her standing up for women's rights?

There is just so much wrong with Hillary

. . . "All that Hillary has done has a dark underside to it, whether it is the barnacles clinging to failed Hillarycare or the revolution in Libya.

"Hillary failed to fortify Benghazi and lied to the families about the cause of their loved ones' deaths.  She blamed a video rather than al-Qaeda, even though she knew the truth.

"When Hillary said, "What difference at this point does it make?," she was telling us that the administration's lie to the public about the influence of the video was irrelevant because the American people are irrelevant.

"Hillary is a crook with a degenerate legacy that she shares with her pedophilic husband.  Everyone she has touched falls through her fingers like sand.

"Hillary, our potential commander-in-chief, offered us the Russian reset, yet we are in another cold war.  She and that weakling Obama are no match for Putin, and they could be responsible for the end of the world.  It might turn out that weakness rather than strength will be apocalyptic.

"Remember Reagan tearing down the wall.  Hillary and Obama have invited the Muslims and the Russians to step on our faces." . . .

Maureen Dowd: Hillary Is Not Sorry

A plague on both their houses.

NY Times

"It’s hard not to feel sorry for Hillary Clinton. She is hearing ghostly footsteps.

"She’s having her inevitability challenged a second time by a moralising senator with few accomplishments who chides her on her bad judgement on Iraq and special-interest money, breezily rakes in millions in small donations online, draws tens of thousands to rock-star rallies and gets more votes from young women.

"But at least last time, it was a dazzling newcomer who also offered the chance to break a barrier. This time, Hillary is trying to fend off a choleric 74-year-old democratic socialist.

"Some close to the campaign say that those ghostly footsteps have made Hillary restive. The deja vu has exasperated Bill Clinton, who griped to an audience in New York last Friday that young supporters of Bernie Sanders get excited because it sounds good to say,

“Just shoot every third person on Wall Street and everything will be fine”." . . .
