Today's Bonehead Award goes to an 
Oregon man arrested for torching an 
apartment full of people
Details at Boneheads

Today, September 11, in
2001 In the U.S., four airliners were hijacked and were intentionally 
 crashed by Muslim extremists. Two airliners hit the World Trade Center
 in New York City, NY. One airliner  hit the Pentagon  in Arlington, VA. 
 Another airliner crashed into  a field in  Pennsylvania. About 3,000 
 innocent people were killed. 

Now various US universities are teaching that the 9/11 attacks 
were the fault of the US and that the al Qaeda terrorists are 
the real victims. See NY Post 2015/09/06/

2012 Terrorists attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. 
 The American ambassador and four former marines, who had been 
 working nearby and rushed to defend the US ambassador, but were 
 denied airborne support,  were brutally murdered and ten others 
 were injured. Airborne support was there and ready, but ordered 
 to hold off. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fell on her 
 head a few weeks later and could not remember that order.
 The Marines will always remember.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by

Joshua Aaron Bigsby,
28,
Portland,
Oregon


Oregon man arrested for torching an 
apartment full of people

An arson suspect is shown on surveillance video carrying a 
gasoline can moments before witnesses saw him use a lighter 
to start an apartment fire, according to prosecutors.

Joshua Aaron Bigsby, was invited to the apartment after 
meeting the tenants late Friday and into early Saturday 
morning at the Fortune Star Lounge in southeast Portland, 
according to court documents filed by Multnomah County 
Deputy District Attorney Annie Shoen. A fight broke out 
between some of the tenants and Bigsby, who was asked 
to leave.

Bigsby and “his companions” left, but he returned a short 
time later and forced his way into the apartment with 
“an old style lighter in one hand and a gas can in the 
other,” according to Shoen’s affidavit.

One of the witnesses inside the apartment told investigators 
she watched the resident try to hold the door closed while 
Bigsby kicked in the door and poured gasoline on him, 
according to court documents. The witness said she saw Bigsby 
light the victim on fire. The woman retreated and jumped out 
a second-story window.

At least four adults and two sleeping children, ages 3 and 6, 
were inside the apartment when the fire was set, according to 
court records.

The video that investigators were able to get allegedly 
showed Bigsby carrying a gas can, go out of view of the 
camera, and then run back into view. Bigsby lost a shoe 
that appeared to be on fire.

Investigators learned of Bigsby after some of the people 
who had met him at the lounge said he introduced himself 
as “Josh Bigsby,” according to court documents.

Portland Fire & Rescue investigator Rich McGraw was able to 
compare Bigsby’s Facebook page and the surveillance and 
confirmed they appeared to be the same person, court 
documents state. By Sunday, officers learned of Bigsby’s 
address and took him into custody.

Bigsby appeared in court Tuesday and a not guilty plea was 
entered on his behalf. He has been charged with 7 counts of 
first-degree arson and one count each of second-degree 
assault, first-degree burglary, first-degree criminal mischief, 
and recklessly endangering another person.

He is scheduled to be back in court on September 16.

Re: Speeding up a computer
Dear Webby,
I am wondering if there are any programs that really speed 
up the computer?I have glary utilities but it doesn't seem 
to do the job,do those actually work and speed up the 
computer? Have a gr8 day.love your letter...

Dear Richi
The Glary utilities may have some parts, that might be useful 
to you, but they are not known for speeding up anything.

About the only one that does more than waste time and put 
on a cute song and dance is PC-Mechanic. 
See the  blue banner on the Humor Letter.
It actually did speed up my machine.

No program will add more processor speed, RAM or hard drive 
space. There are some tricks you CAN use, though.
UNinstall ALL programs, that you are not using. Most people 
have programs, that they once tried, or downloaded and were 
going to try some day. Get rid of them by using their 
UNinstaller, or uninstall them from the control panel.
You can also use the free Revo Uninstaller

They use space on the hard drive, and clutter up the 
registry, and almost every program also comes with a bunch 
of fonts. They are usually quite useless, but use RAM 
whenever that program is loaded. If it is a program that 
loads automatically, even though you haven't used it for 
many years, that is a total waste of RAM. Get rid of it!

Then run a program like PC-Mechanic to get rid of their 
registry fragments.
 
Once you have gotten rid of all the not used programs, 
defrag the hard drive. Defragler from the same people who gave 
us CrapCleaner, does a pretty good job, better than the built 
in Windows defrag.
Keep in mind, during defrag everything slows down. 
It's AFTER the defrag that you will notice the improvement.

Have FUN!

One day, a foreign family arrived in New York City.
This was the first time out of their native village,
and it didn't take long before the wife got lost.

The husband asked a passerby for help and was told
to go to the police and report it.

When he got there, a police officer asked him for
the wife's description.

"What's that?" asked the man. "Well, you see a
description is telling what something looks like.
For example, my wife is 25-years-old, 5'11", 140 lbs,
38-25-36 measurements. Now, what can you tell me about
your wife?"

"Maria can wait, lets go look for yours!"

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Organizing Spice Tins

I was at my friend Erin's house for dinner over the weekend 
and I noticed she had her spice tins displayed in this super 
creative way. She bought rare earth style magnets at Fred Meyer 
and stuck all her spice tins to the side of her fridge using 
2 magnets per tin.

Magnetic spice tins are really popular right now, but require 
buying a whole new set. Erin said she really liked the idea 
and had been thinking of purchasing them until she realized 
all her spices were all ready in tins.

Another great tip she shared with me is that she turns the 
tins around when they are empty so she knows to buy more of 
that spice to fill the tin back up.

This is a great way to organize your spice tins up and out 
of the way. I also love the way they look displayed on the 
side of the fridge.

Joe's daughter's eighth grade history class
planned a visit to the US capital.  Unfortunately,
she was not greatly enthusiastic about a trip
that she considered too "educational" to be fun.

However, on their return, Joe was pleased to hear
how she and her classmates had been filled with
awe and emotion as they gazed at the Washington
Monument.

"To think, dad," she marveled.  "We were standing
right where Forrest Gump stood."

A man really loved a woman, but he was just too
shy to propose to her. Now he was up in his years
and neither of them had ever been married. Of
course, they dated about once a week for the past
six years, but he was so timid he just never got
around to suggesting marriage much less living
together.

But one day, he became determined to ask her the
question. So he calls her on the phone,
"June."
"Yes, this is June."
"Will you marry me?"
"Of course I will!
By the way, who are you?"
