Serial Killer Claims He Knows of More Than 70 Murder Victims

A local television station in Sacramento has received a second letter from convicted serial killer Wesley Shermantine, one of the so-called Speed Freak Killers, in which he claims he knows of more than 70 murder victims.

Shermantine and his childhood friend Loren Herzog became known as the Speed Freak Killers for a methamphetamine-fueled killing spree authorities believed had as many as 20 victims. Shermantine was convicted of four murders and sentenced to death. Herzog was convicted of three murders and sentenced to 77 years to life in prison although that was later reduced to 14 years. Herzog was paroled in 2010 and committed suicide last month after Sacramento bounty hunter Leonard Padilla told him Shermantine planned to reveal the burial locations.

Maps that Shermantine had previously provided led authorities to at least three locations, with Shermatine claiming that 10 bodies or more could have been stashed in the area. Investigators found remains belonging to two of Shermantine s victims in Calaveras County. They also found hundreds of bone fragments in a well in an abandoned ranch in San Joaquin County. In his second letter, Shermantine reveals no new locations, but states that Herzog told him about multiple, 24 X 3 victims. He also hints that he has even more shocking revelations.

-read the second letter here-.

In a letter to CBS Sacramento reporter Koula Gianulias, Shermantine said thus far he has not received any money from Padilla even though he was promissed 33,000 for reveiling the location of the bodies.

I really want to believe in Leonard, but I have these doubts he ll come through, which is a shame because I ve been holding the best for last, Shermantine wrote.

A driver s license is a very important document in the United States. It is typically the same size as a credit card. A driver s license allows you to.

A driver s license is a very

important document in the United States. It is typically the same

size as a credit card. A driver s license allows you to operate a

motor vehicle legally. Without a driver s license, it is illegal to

operate a motor vehicle. Driver s licenses are issued by each state in the

United States. The rules and regulations vary in various states. However,

a driver s license issued from any state in the United States allows you

to drive anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. As the public transport system

is only good or reasonable in some major cities like New York, most people need to drive a car.

Driver s licenses are issued by a particular state s Department of Motor Vehicles DMV, which is similar to

the RTO Regional Transport Office in India. In some states, it may be called something other than the

DMV. For example, it is the Registry of Motor Vehicles in Massachusetts and the Department of Public Safety

in Texas. Please refer to DMV.org ,  an excellent

unofficial guide to DMV rules in different states.

As the United States has no

national identification system, the driver s license is also widely

used for identification. As most people drive car in the U.S.,

the driver s license has become the standard photo ID. If you are

writing a check for payment at stores, boarding a domestic flight, buying

tobacco or alcohol, visiting bars or dance clubs where alcohol

is served, you are required to present a photo ID. Many places accept only a valid U.S. driver s license as valid photo identification and not a passport. The DMV can also issue you a photo ID that looks similar to a driver s license, but you can t operate a motor vehicle with it.

Most people get a basic driver s license to operate

car. There are separate licenses for motorcycles, taxis, buses, or trucks.

Some states issue driver s licenses with vertical orientation to people

under the age 21 to easily identify whether the person is of legal

drinking age. In these cases, it also specifies the date

the person will turn 21. Some states may print the picture on the

right for drivers under 21 rather than the left. Some states write

Under 21 in bold red. Some states may give licenses of different colors

to people below the age of 21. Some states show a picture of a small heart,

or the term Organ Donor is printed on the driver s license, to indicate

that he/she has agreed to donate

his/her organs in case of a sudden death, such as in a car accident. The minimum driving age is different in each state and may

vary from 14 to 18 years. However, in most states, it is around 16 years. Many states have stopped printing

social security numbers as driver s license numbers due to identify theft concerns. Driver s licenses generally have

a license number, photograph of the person, copy of his/her signature, name, date of birth, address of primary residence, the

type or class of license, restrictions and/or endorsements, and physical characteristics of the persons such as

height, weight, and eye color.

In order to get a driver s license, you must generally follow these steps:

Get a Driver s Manual:

Either visit the DMV in person or go to their website and download a driver s

manual. It describes the rules and regulations for operating a motor

vehicle. It also has many diagrams and photographs that illustrate various rules.

Social Security Number:

Some states require you to have a

social security number before you can get a driver s license. If you are not eligible

to get a social security number e.g., because you are on an H4 visa, you will need to get a letter from the SSA and apply for an  ITIN Individual Tax Identification

Number. Some states may accept an ITIN, while others simply don t allow you to get a driver s license until you have a social

security number.

Written Test:

Once you

are confident that you have learned the written rules for driving, go

to the nearest DMV to take a written test. You may either have

to make an appointment, or you may be able to walk in during

normal business hours. The test generally contains multiple choice

questions A, B, C, D. The test may be taken on paper or on a computer.

Generally, there is no time limit to answer the questions. When you go to

the DMV, you will have to show proof of your identity, which can be

your foreign passport, I-94 card nonimmigrants, or a green card stamp

new immigrants. Sometimes, after you have given the correct answers to

the minimum number of questions required to pass the test, the computer

may stop asking you questions. In a computer-based test, you will know

your score immediately. In a paper-based test, an employee at the DMV will

look at your answers and tell you the score. Once you pass the test, you

will be given learner s permit allowing you to operate a car

only if a licensed driver is sitting next to you. A learner s permit is required to take driving lessons.

Duration of the validity of your learner s permit may vary by state.

Driving Lessons:

Even though you might have driven a car in your home country, it

is still a good idea to take driving lessons. You can either go to a private teacher or to a driving school. Private teachers will usually cost less than driving schools. They will charge money on a hourly basis. Driving lessons allow you to get used to driving in the U.S., its rules regulations,

parking, etc. Moreover, you will feel more confident driving. Driving and parking rules are totally different in

the U.S. compared to countries like India. Lessons will also help you pass the driving test and become a safe driver.

Road Test:

Once you are comfortable driving on U.S.

roads, you will have to take the road test at the DMV. Again, it may

either be walk-in, or you may have to make an appointment. In some states

like New Jersey, there may be a few weeks waiting period to get an

appointment. You will go to the DMV with your learner s permit. The car

that you will use for your road test must have proper liability insurance.

All controls, including indicator lights, brake lights, horn, etc., must

be in working condition. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to use that

car for a road test. An inspector will sit next to you and ask you to

drive. He/she will check your various driving and parking skills. After

the test, the inspector will immediately tell you the result. If you

have made mistakes, they will generally explain

them to you so that you can correct them later. If you passed the road test, you can go inside the DMV and get

your driver s license, which is immediate in most states. In some states like Texas, you may receive a temporary paper license with

no photo ID. It will allow you to drive a car, but the original license will come in the mail, which may take around two

weeks. In other states like Virginia, you will get the driver s license instantly. If you fail the test, generally,

there is no minimum waiting period to apply again. However, if your DMV requires an appointment for the road test,

there may be a delay. Either way, don t try to take the road test again until you have worked on the

mistakes you made during your original test.

Driver s License:

You will be required

to pay a fee for your driver s license. You will also have to show proof of identify with a photograph, as well as proof of your date of birth. Be sure

to bring proof of identity, like your foreign passport, I-94 card nonimmigrants, or a green card stamp new immigrants. In some states, you must provide proof of legal status in the U.S., which is usually your I-94 form. And you may be given a driver s license that expires on the day your legal stay expires in the U.S. As described above, you may also require a social security number. You will have to provide proof of residence in the state in which you are applying. You can provide utility bills, a copy of an apartment lease agreement, etc. 

In some states, you will also be required to provide proof of liability insurance.

However, most insurance companies give insurance to a particular car and to particular drivers. If you don t have a car, most companies won t give insurance. Some companies may give non-owned car insurance that gives insurance to a particular driver and not for particular car.

Finally, before getting a

driver s license, you will be required to take a vision test. There

are vision testing machines located at each clerk s desk. Once you put

your forehead against the machine, you will be asked to read specific

lines located on the screen. If you normally wear glasses, you can wear them during the vision test. However,

there will be a notation on the driver s license that you need glasses. Make sure to wear glasses appropriately while

driving a car. Otherwise, you may be in violation of law.

Your photograph also will be taken at the DMV and will be digitally printed in the driver s license.

International Driver s Permit:

Some states recognize an International

Driver s Permit and/or the regular license from your country and may allow

you to drive on that license, or they may allow you to skip some of the

requirements listed above. It is extremely difficult

to get car insurance on non-U.S. driver s licenses, though.

Always ensure that your full Name in International Driving License Your countries driving License matches with that of your passport.

GEEK TRIVIA. PSA: If You Download and Run Something Bad, No Antivirus Can Help You.

Jan 16, 2013  Why You Shouldn t Run Multiple Antivirus Programs At Once. Most antivirus programs are designed to be the single security solution for your computer.

Is It Okay to Have Multiple Antivirus Programs.

Often when you buy a new computer, it comes with a trial version of Norton, McAfee or some other commercial antivirus software. When that free trial is about to expire, the program starts to nag you about upgrading to a paid version, which can be expensive. That s when some users start looking for a free antivirus alternative. There are some excellent free antivirus programs, but a common mistake is to install that freebie without removing the old one. Some users also think they ll be more secure if they install a second antivirus package.

In most cases, having more than one antivirus program running on your computer is bad news. Antivirus programs consume memory and processing power, as they scan the stream of data, emails, web pages and downloads that enter your computer. So it makes sense that having more than one antivirus scanner will slow down your computer.

But there s another potential problem Sometimes antivirus programs can fight with each other, since they both want to be the final arbiter of good and evil on your computer. One might even think the other is a virus, and attempt to quarantine it. You may see slowdowns, lockups or experience random restarts. I actually tested this recently, installing AVG, Avast and Avira on my laptop. The result was a computer that slowed to a crawl. You could watch paint dry between keystrokes, and the process of uninstalling them took hours.

My advice is to pick ONE antivirus tool and stick with it, at least until you decide to replace it with another. I ve compiled a list of some excellent Free Antivirus Programs, which I use and recommend over the paid-for security suites on the market. If you want to study them further, check out the reports in my article Lab Tests Reveal Top AntiVirus Programs to see how various antivirus programs compare in terms of effectiveness.

Exceptions to the Rule

That said, let me introduce just a bit of tech talk, and explain the exceptions to my single anti-virus rule. There are three types of anti-virus protection: real-time, on-demand and offline. Here s a quick description of each:

The real-time variety we ve been discussing so far protects against viruses and other threats as they arise. Your real-time anti-virus software is constantly scanning everything that enters your computer, as well as every program that runs. Examples are Norton, McAfee, AVG, BitDefender, Kaspersky and many others.

On-demand virus scanners are only active when you specifically launch them, to scan your hard drive for malware. Two of the most popular are MalwareBytes Anti-Malware MBAM and Spybot Search and Destroy. These are designed to co-exist with your real-time anti-virus software, and can sometimes catch things that have slipped through your first line of defense.

Offline anti-virus tools run from a bootable CD or flash drive, and will do a deep scan of your computer. While the offline scanner is running, both Windows and your primary anti-virus program are inactive. See Extra Security: Windows Defender Offline for more info on offline security tools.

So to be clear, YES, I recommend just one REAL-TIME security tool. Supplementing that with an on-demand scanner such as MBAM is fine, and is a practice I recommend. And for those situations where you can t start up your computer due to a virus infection, an offline scanner is what you need.

Which Antivirus Programs Do I Have.

If you re not terribly tech savvy, you might not even know which antivirus program is installed on your computer, if you have more than one, or none at all. To find out if you have antivirus protection, open Control Panel and click on Security Center. If there is a red light next to Virus Protection, you have no antivirus protection, and fixing that should be Job One. If you see a green light, you re good, probably.

Now let s find out if you have one or multiple antivirus programs installed. First, check out the little icons in the taskbar on the bottom right of your screen:

Click on the little white arrow to expand the list if needed, then run the mouse pointer over each one without clicking. As you do so, the name of each program will appear in a little popup as shown above. Real-time anti-virus programs should clearly identify themselves. Look for names such as AVG, Avira, Avast, BitDefender, Eset, F-Secure, G Data, Kaspersky, McAfee, Norton, Panda, or Trend Micro. There could be others, but those are the most common and popular ones at present.

If you find more than one, go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall the anti-virus program s you don t want to keep. Bear in mind what I mentioned about real-time and on-demand scanners above. You ll need to restart your computer to finish the removal process. When you re done, make sure your remaining antivirus protection is up to date and run a complete scan to check for nasties.

Do you really need antivirus software. Do you need antivirus software on your PC. If you re not sure of the answer to that question, then the short answer is yes.
