| Deliberations to begin in serial child molester trial |
| Post on 16-09-2006. |
Schwartzmiller, 64, is charged with 10 felony counts for allegedly molesting two 12-year-old boys. He faces life in prison, if convicted on all counts.
Prosecutors say Schwartzmiller, who has at least three molestation convictions and one dozen arrests over three decades, is one of the country's most prolific child molesters. They estimate he molested 100 children since 1969, pointing to one graphic 456-page memoir, 10 binders full of child pornography and 1,500 notebook pages with headings including "no, but yes boys," "best of the best, 13 and under" and "single-parent boys." ... |

| Thailand scam has a familiar ring to it |
| Post on 16-09-2006. |
I never could understand how anyone over the age of 5 years, 2 months could fall for the Nigerian-prince-reclaiming-his-inheritance Internet swindle.

Mr. Dick's film is one jaunty, vaguely comic, low-budget affair, interspersed with lively graphics and montages of clips from the films it discusses.

| 'The Black Dahlia': Pulp Fiction, By Kurt Loder |
| Post on 16-09-2006. |
Like the James Ellroy novel on which it's based, director Brian De Palma's "The Black Dahlia" is one heavily fictionalized account of one famously grisly and still-unsolved L.one. murder case. The victim was 22-year-old Elizabeth Short, and her naked body
The movie additionally asserts that the cadaver had been drained of blood, and that the girl's viscera, including "her reproductive organs," had been removed. These are not facts.
