Survivor Starts Next Wednesday

Ok, so all the Survivor fans, probably already know that. LOL

I am so disappointed in the changes that Survivor has made to the show since it started, that I haven't watched a full season in a very long time.

I'm going to give this season a try again. I will blog my opinion about the show, maybe some Hollywood producer will see my disappointments and change some things back. Or maybe I will be pleasantly surprised to see the show has already made the changes.

I must say I'm pretty fed up with all the reality shows. I know they say they are cheaper to produce but come on Hollywood, New York you know you have the money. When I hear some "Snookie" is getting $30,000 an episode, I mean really that doesn't sound cheap to me. I could live on $30,000 a year. I prefer to live on more than that. But I'm just saying.

I'm a big CSI fan and I loved William Peterson (Grissom) but he left the show making like $600,000 an episode. Ray Ramano left his show making approx 1.8 million an episode. I don't begrudge anyone making a living, but really you could feed a country with 1.8 million. Put a cap on these actors salaries and give us real programming back!   Find the happy medium here producers, whoever is in charge. It's not rocket science.

Jeff Probst said he started Survivor because the human interaction and behavior intrigued him. I guess in that sense I am the same, because the three reality shows I watch or have watched more than once have a lot to do with emotional manipulation and are pretty much centered around human behavior. I will/have watched: Big Brother, Dr. Drew's Celebrity Rehab and Survivor.

Course, I also love watching shows on psycho's and serial killers. I just can't figure them out. They intrigue me. And no I'm neither a psycho or a serial killer nor do I want to be.

Maybe with the upcoming season we will get some new decent shows to watch, a couple look like they might have potential, like The Event, Outlaw, and Hawaii Five-0. I hope we get something that works out cause we lost some good ones last year when we lost 24, Doll House and Law & Order.

What is OpenID ?

OpenID is rapidly gaining use on the web, over 50,000 websites accept OpenID for login. You probably have one or more OpenID's and didn't even know it.

OpenID's allow you to securely log into a new site with an existing username from another site so you don't have to keep setting up new accounts every time you find a new site.

Several large organizations either issue or accept OpenIDs, including Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Microsoft, AOL, MySpace, Sears, Universal Music Group, France Telecom, Novell, Sun, Telecom Italia, and many more.

This is how you sign in for some of the more popular accounts.

Blogger =  blogname.blogspot.com 

Google = http://www.google.com/profiles/username or Go to your google profile, look at the bottom of the page. It says your profile url is :

Yahoo = https://me.yahoo.com/username

Myspace = www.myspace.com/username

Wordpress =  username.wordpress.com

AOL/AIM = openid.aol.com/screenname.

Flicker = Sign in with your Yahoo button or use your photostream url.

Orange =  Sign in with Orange button or enter orange.fr

LiveJournal = username.livejournal.com

For those looking for Facebook, it appears they accept OpenID, but I do not see where they are issuing one yet. If they start I will update this.

You may choose to associate information with your OpenID that can be shared with the websites you visit, such as a name or email address. With OpenID, you control how much of that information is shared with the websites you visit. Your password is only given to your identity provider, and that provider then confirms your identity to the websites you visit. Other than your provider, no website ever sees your password, so you don’t need to worry about an unscrupulous or insecure website compromising your identity.

The Atlanta Child Killer Still Claims He's Innocent Over Thirty Years Later

Ok, so I go to watch Larry King, and it's Soledad O'brien instead of Larry King, which is okay I like Soledad.

She's interviewing Wayne Williams. Do ya'll remember him? He was arrested many years ago for killing young black kids in Atlanta from 1979-1981. I was a young kid at the time myself, not a black child, but I lived in a nearby state and I remember being scared, because some crazy person was killing kids.

He was convicted only of two of the adult murders, but suspected of  23-30 others. Most of the kids killed were between the ages of 12-14, but was one as young as 9, and 4 were over 21. Wayne Williams was a 23 year old black man himself. I found that kind of odd.

He claimed then and evidently is still trying to say he is innocent.

Now:

1. He flunked 3 polygraphs, which granted aren't admissible, but still come on!
2. Someone that saw him helped a sketch artist draw a picture that looked like him.
3. They found dog hair on one of the boys that was consistent with Williams family dog.
4. They found fibers consistent with his father's car which he drove on another body.
5. They found rare carpet fibers consistent with the carpet in his house, he was still living with Mommy and Daddy evidently.
6. When the police searched his home, they took a piece of a blanket that was under his bed, this matched fibers on another body. When the police went back for the blanket it was gone.
7. His alibi for one of the murders was his mother, I don't know if he was alibied for any of the others.

Of course they didn't have the DNA back then that they have now, but they must not have had any to prove he was innocent, cause they could have retested it now.  There was one thing tested that proved there was a 98% possibility it was him. That didn't help his case.

Now, my question is and I really wish Soledad had asked him this. Why did the murders stop when he was arrested?  I don't believe someone that sick could have just stopped killing because the police caught the wrong man  What? Oh they arrested Wayne, so I'll stop killing now and they won't come looking for me.

I don't think so. I think they got the right man.

Just Started Watching the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon

I just love this telethon. I record it every year, so I don't miss any of it. Not only is it for a good cause but its a great show.

Barry Manilow is looking good.

Oh just saw Billy Gilman, he is such a cutie. I love his Dare to Dream CD he's like a baby Sinatra.

Haven't seen Brandon Barash yet, (Johnny from General Hospital) but I know from all his tweets he's been there all night. I believe there is a battle going on to shave or not shave Brandon's chest. Donate for your choice.

I really wish Brandon and Billy would do a duet.

Oh,  Nigel from So You Think You Can Dance is hosting this year, taking over for Jerry.  This should be fun.

Someone named Train on now. Haven't ever heard of him, but I like him.

Will check back in later. Don't forget to donate. MDA.Org
