So I just saw Changeling, which was very good, and had a hard time finding photos of the people depicted in the story. Finally did and thought i'd put it here in case someone else was looking for pictures related to her story and the 1928 Chicken Coop Murders.

Christine Collins:


Walter Collins: the son


Arthur Hutchens: the little shit who pretended to be her son:


Gordon Northcott: Serial Killer


Sanford Clark: Northcott's nephew who was forced to help the killer

A little help here...

Prop 1A (yes):
$9.95 billion to build an electric train that'd go from LA to SF it 2.5 hours.

Prop 2 (yes):
Cage-free eggs. [will apparently drive egg biz out of CA, but it's got to start somewhere]

Prop 3 (yes):
Sell $980 billion in bonds to upgrade/expand children's hospitals.

Prop 4 (NO):
Doctor has to notify parents of minors 2 days before performing an abortion. [veiled attempt by christian right to chip away at abortion rights]

Prop 5 (yes):
Reduce sentencing and (in some cases) eliminate jail time for non-violent drug offenses, and mandates probation and treatment. [latimes says would supposedly give someone probation for stealing a car. i don't buy it. reactionary drug laws need to be relaxed by any means necessary.]

Prop 6 (NO):
Spend 1% of the state annual budget to "fight crime",  $500 million of which to add prison space.

Prop 7: (no?)
Apparently increases "green" requirements on energy producers, but environmental groups say it will actually undermine it. [don't get it, but if env. groups are against it is probably a trick]

Prop 8: (NO)
Bans gay marriage. [Jesus, who gives a fuck?!]

Prop 9: (NO)
Give enforceable rights to families of crime victims. Limits chances of parole for many convicted criminals. [dubious origins: prop's author is some grieving billionaire who himself was up on drug and securities charges]

Prop 10: (NO)
$5 billion bond money for natural gas-powered vehicles. [Prop's authored by guy who owns a natural gas company. How about $5 billion to fund solar research? Something i won't have to keep paying for]

Prop 11: (yes?)
Redistricting reform. Take away political parties' ability to draw Assembly districts.

Prop 12: (no)
Give veterans access to low-interest mortgages. [yes, i'm AGAINST the troops]

If you see a kind, well dressed, frantic, older black woman who approaches you with 'young man, do you have aaa?' walk away.

A couple of weeks ago i was at the movies and this sweet old lady asked me that and i said no, but what's wrong? She said she needed $20 to get her car towed. I gave it to her and she was ever so gracious.

Today i'm in the drivethru and see the same woman going car to car asking the same thing. When she got to me i go 'no, i already got hustled by you'.

Found a way to bypass the activation step on the iPhone:


Steps (from fiveforty.net) :

---

1) Download UltraEdit-32, install it.

2) Download PhoneActivationServerV1.0, extract it to desktop or anywhere you want.

3) You might wanna backup the original iTunes.exe(located under C:/Program Files/iTunes) first.

4) Run UltraEdit-32, open file iTunes.exe, use Ctrl+G to go to address 2048912, then enter 33C0C3. Do the same for the rest two offsets: Go to address 257074 then enter 28 and go to 257013 then enter 33C9B1. Save the file and close UltraEdit-32.

5). Open Windows explorer and go to c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc. Open the "hosts" file in ULTRAEDIT and add the line

127.0.0.1 albert.apple.com

to it. This will redirect any DNS query of "albert.apple.com" to your local host. Save & exit.

6). All you need to do is to run Phone Activation Server V1.0 first, leave it running and then run iTunes. Now when you plug in your iphone it will activate automatically in about 60 seconds.

Follow in that exact order and it will work!

Next step is to actually "unlock" the phone so it will work on any mobile network. Right now I still can't make calls/voice mail/use mobile internet, but at least can get a damn menu and use WiFi. I have an old AT&T sim from my ericsson phone. here's what it says about that:

Just checked it out at a store on melrose. Looks really good and has video (iphone doesn't) but lack of qwerty is a dealbreaker with that touch screen. next to impossible to type a simple message. Interface is pretty good though and is a lot smaller than iphone. Too bad.

Mike tyson on sunset blvd. Know for a fact because i saw the tattoos!

Movie was horseshit. First one was much better. The ending they hype up is nothing that shocking. I think tarrantino made this one too(?) What's up with this guy? Everything he does now is just weak.

Buzznet now lets you use <embed> codes from other video sharing services.  Instead of going through the whole process of downloading a video you find somewhere else, then re-uploading it to your Buzznet page, you can simply paste the video <embed> code, and the video will show up on your page.

To open the video upload screen, first log in to Buzznet.  Go to your main page and click Upload a Video under Stuff to Do.




The video upload screen will offer three options for posting videos to your page.

You can put in the <embed> code, as discussed.

You can click on URL, then paste the URL of the page you saw the video on into the slot.  Once you hit UPLOAD VIDEO, Buzznet will grab and download that video into your account. Cool, right?

The third option is to paste in a video's file as it appears on your computer.

Post using embed code:


Post by using the URL to a page with a video on it:


Post by uploading a video file:


Whichever way you go, uploading videos is easy and adds an attractive dimension to your page.

Be sure to add a title for your video.  Type a description of the video into the field provided.  Check the appropriate box to determine whether viewing access is public, private or friends only.  Add the tags that fit.

Now click UPLOAD VIDEO.  Audio-visual supremacy couldn't be much easier.

If your video is NOT an embedded video, it will immediately go into Buzznet's moderation queue. Be patient! It will be approved or denied shortly. If your video is not approved and only appears on your page when you're logged in, feel free to contact Buzznet support if you believe it should be made public: support@buzznet.com
