When I was 28, I was teaching English in a high school where
occasionally the faculty and staff were allowed to dress
down. One of those days I donned a sweatshirt and slacks.
A student came in, and his eyes widened. "Wow!" he
exclaimed. "You should wear clothes like that every day. You
look twenty, maybe even thirty years younger.

A farmer & his hired man were eating breakfast at the local
diner. Thinking of all the work they had to get done that
day, the farmer told the hired man he might as well go ahead
& eat his dinner too. The hired man didn't say a word, but
filled his plate a second time & proceeded to eat. After
awhile the farmer said, "We've got so much work to do today,
you might as well eat your supper now too."
Again, the hired man didn't respond but refilled his plate a
third time & continued to eat. Finally, after eating his
third plate of food, the hired man pushed back his chair &
began to take off his shoes. "What are you doing?" the
farmer asked.
The hired man replied, "I don't work after supper."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by
Indiana man arrested after drinking rubbing alcohol,
threatening nephews, waving sword at deputies
Harley Pasley,
23,
Taylorsville,
Indiana
Deputies arrested a man who allegedly waved a sword at them
after drinking rubbing alcohol.
On Monday just after 7:30 p.m., Bartholomew County sheriff’s
deputies responded to a 911 call about domestic battery.
The caller told police her brother, 23-year-old Harley
Pasley of Taylorsville, was intoxicated and causing a
disturbance.
She said Pasley had cut her hand with glass and was
threatening to hurt his nephews, ages 2 and 8.
A deputy was told on the scene that Pasley had been drinking
rubbing alcohol and had gone to a storage building outside.
The deputy went out and said Pasley leaned out holding a
cutlass sword. He allegedly began swinging it and yelling at
deputies.
Pasley came outside the the deputies had him at gunpoint. He
refused to drop the sword at first, but eventually
complied.
Police say when Pasley dropped to his knees again, he
reached for the sword. A deputy used his Taser at that time
but it was not effective.
They eventually got the sword away from Pasley and took him
into custody. He was transported to Columbus Regional
Hospital to be evaluated for consuming rubbing alcohol.
He was then taken to the Batholomew County Jail on charges
of battery and interfering with a 911 call.

Question: Rotary Tool (Dremel) Crafts

Have you checked the Dremel website? I looked there a few
months ago, and I feel like I saw quite a few projects.
Also, there might be videos on youtube if you do a search.
I've been using ours with the flex shaft attachment to
polish some of the jewelry I make. Probably not as good as
the dedicated flex shafts available to jewelry makers, but
since we already had the equipment, it works for me!

Dear Webby,The joke about the kid wanting money
reminded me of my little brother who was always
"borrowing" money and never remembered to pay it back.
Soon everyone learned to say they didn't have any if he
asked to borrow money , then one night he asked me if I
had change for a twenty dollar bill, so, like a fool I said
yes .
He said "Can I borrow it."
I just had to thump him, for his own good.

Auburn man hits wife with getaway car as she is being
chased by loss prevention officers.
Ernest Price, 49,
Cynthia Cornethan, 49,
Auburn,
Washington.
A husband hit his wife with his pickup in a department-store
parking lot in Redmond, thwarting the couple’s attempt to
make off with stolen merchandise, according to King County
prosecutors.
A shoplifting excursion to the Kohl’s store in Redmond
didn’t go as planned for a trio of thieves, even though two
women managed to carry out more than $750 worth of
merchandise in foil-lined shopping bags, according to King
County prosecutors.
One member of the alleged shoplifting team dropped the bags
containing perfume, clothing, shoes and other items, along
with her purse and ID, when her husband hit her with their
pickup as the getaway went awry, charging papers say.
The husband had intended to run down the store’s pursuing
loss-prevention officer, who jumped out of the way, and the
truck plowed into the driver’s wife instead, according to
the documents.
The wife and a second woman got in the truck, and the three
sped off, according to the charges filed for the Nov. 11
incident.
The suspected driver, 49-year-old Ernest Price, of Auburn,
was arrested on a warrant and booked into the Maleng
Regional Justice Center in Kent on Thursday, jail and court
records show. Charged with second-degree assault and second-
degree theft, Price is being held in lieu of $50,000 bail.
His wife, Cynthia Cornethan, also 49, is wanted on a warrant
for second-degree theft. She is also wanted on a bench
warrant for a 2015 felony drug case, court records show.
The couple’s female accomplice has not been identified,
charging papers say.
Price, Cornethan and the other woman walked into the Kohl’s
store on Union Hill Road, but Price left while the two women
stuffed items in the shopping bags, which were “lined with
foil to defeat the security system.”
The women ran through an emergency exit and were chased by
the loss-prevention officer. He tried to stop them in the
parking lot when Price accelerated his truck toward the
officer. The officer jumped out of the way and was struck in
the leg, but apparently was not seriously injured.
Price “very easily could have killed someone or caused more
serious injury,” Deputy Prosecutor Jessica Manca wrote in
charging documents. “His actions demonstrate he is willing
to use violence to further his criminal activities.”
Price has an “extensive” criminal history in Washington,
including felony convictions for drug possession, taking a
motor vehicle, forgery and assault, as well as seven felony
convictions in Minnesota, charging papers say. Since 1995,
warrants have been issued for his arrest 39 times in King
County, the papers say.
As of 2007, Cornethan had 91 warrants issued for her arrest
since 1984, say the charges. She has been convicted on 25
theft charges in the past 27 years, most of them gross
misdemeanors, though she also has felony convictions for
forgery, identity theft and drug possession, court records
show.

"Whass Logic?" Bubba asked.
"Well, let me give you an example," said the professor.
"Do you own a weed-eater?"
"Sure do," the redneck responded. "Okay. Then I assume,
using logic, that you have a yard," the professor went on.
"That's real good," said the redneck, in awe.
"Logic also tells me that since you have a yard, you also
have a house. Is that right?"
"GAWL-LEE!" the redneck shouted.
"And since you own a house and a house is tough to take
care of by yourself, logic dictates that you have a wife.
Right?"
"Betty Mae! This is incredible!"
Bubba is catching on now.
"Finally, since you have a wife, logically I can assume you
are heterosexual rather than homosexual. Is that right?"
"You are absolutely darn right! Why that's the most

One night at about 3am my wife was getting up from the
toilet to return to bed when she heard a little noise. It
was a suspiciously rodent like sound that seemed to be
right in the bathroom with her.
She, of course, froze and listened attentively for any
further sign of invaders. After a moment, satisfied that
she was alone, she took a step for the door. Rodent
scratchy sounds again! She froze, not breathing. Silence.
Her heart beat fast as she once again tried to retreat
from the bathroom.
This time the noise was accompanied by something touching
the back of her leg! That was too much to bear. She
literally flew the 8 feet to the bed, clearing the foot
board by a couple feet, to land screaming by my side.
The culprit was right there in plain sight, a trail of
toilet paper neatly marked the path from bed to the bath-
room.

NY Woman, who crashed car, went to nearby home for help.
When police arrived, she ran off into the woods
and fell off a cliff down 60 feet.
Erika A. Barkman,
38,
Voorheesville,
New York
The Albany County Sheriff’s Office coordinated a rope rescue
at a 60-foot cliff in John Boyd Thacher State Park on
Tuesday night, after a woman crashed her car against a
guardrail, sought help from a nearby residence, then ran
away and fell off a cliff.
Erika A. Barkman, 38, of Voorheesville, was rescued while
conscious and taken to Albany Medical Center. According to a
hospital representative, no information about Barkman was
available on Wednesday.
The rescue took two hours, and began after police found the
woman’s car just before 9 p.m. The bumper was missing from
the front of the vehicle.
An 8:49 p.m. report of an accident led sheriff’s deputies to
find a green 1996 Volvo crashed into a guardrail on Thacher
Park Road, its front end damaged, said a release from the
sheriff's office.
A witness at the scene said the driver had been tailgating
and driving erratically before the crash and that she had
asked the witness for help in finding her cell phone, the
release said.
“The witness stated the operator did not appear to be
injured but was stumbling around and then climbed over the
guide rail and fled into the woods,” the release said.
The sheriff’s communication center then got a call from a
Thacher Park Road resident saying a woman came to his door,
asking for help and smelling like alcohol, the release says;
she told the resident she was being “chased by cops.”
When sheriff’s deputies arrived at the home, Barkman “fled
into the woods,” the release says; a police dog began
tracking her from the home through the woods to the edge of
a cliff.
“Sheriff’s deputies began yelling Erika’s name and they
could hear her calling for help from the bottom of the
cliff, but they were unable to see her,” the release says.
The sheriff’s search and rescue unit was then called to lift
her from the bottom of the cliff, the release says; once
she
was found, she was loaded into a rescue basket and hauled

RE: Cleaning temporary Internet files
Dear Webby
in today's tech dept question re music that fades
in & out occasionally, you mentioned cleaning out temporary
internet file. Is that the same as deleting cookies? If so
can you please tell me again how to do it. How often should
it be done?
Is rebooting the same as restart after doing this?
Sharon S
Dear Sharon
Cookies are just some of the temporary Internet files. They
are the smallest ones. To clear all temporary Internet files
open the
File Explorer:
Windows Key E
Highlight and right-click the C: drive
Properties
TAB, ENTER (or click on Disk Cleanup)
Hit OK.
Rebooting and restarting, yes, on Windows those two mean
the same.
How often? That depends on the machine and the type of
work you do with it. Just do it whenever things slow down.
Good Luck!

Banana Peels and Tea Bags for Roses
By MELISSA [2 Posts, 2 Comments]
Give your rose bushes your used tea bags and banana peels.
They will love you for it. Also hydrangeas will love your
water from when you boil potatoes. You can also use the
potato peels at the bottom of your plants.

The showers in Jane's daughter's dorm turned scalding
hot whenever a toilet was flushed. To warn others,
residents would yell out, "Flushing!" each time
they flushed the toilets.
During one of her daughter's visits home, a friend stopped
by to chat for a while. Jane was explaining how her daughter
was acting more distant now that she was in college, and
that she didn't tell her all about her life the way she used
to.
Suddenly they heard the daughter call out from the bathroom,
"Flushing!"
"Good grief," said Jane's friend, "How much more do you want

Floriduh Woman records herself on video buying cocaine
and then shows it to the police.
Kathleen Laroche,
27,
Fort Pierce,
Florida,
If you just bought cocaine and recorded the drug deal on
your own dashcam video, it might not be a good idea to show
the footage to the sheriff’s deputy who pulled you over for
erratic driving without a license.
But that’s just what Kathleen Laroche, 27, did May 12 in
Fort Pierce, according to arrest affidavits.
The case began as St. Lucie County sheriff’s investigators
traveled south on South 25th Street at Edwards Road and a
Ford Focus sped past them.
They stopped the vehicle, which Laroche was driving. Laroche
apologized for weaving and speeding, and said she didn’t
have a license because it was suspended.
Laroche was arrested on a driving on a suspended license
charge.
One of the investigators noticed a dashcam type camera that
was recording, and asked about the video quality. He asked
if he could see the video, and Laroche said he could.
“(The detective) saw that the video captured Laroche
purchasing cocaine just prior to the traffic stop,” an
affidavit states.
Noting the accused drug seller, the detective went back to
the spot and spoke to the seller, identified as 43-year-old
William Hills.
The investigator told Hills he’d just seen him sell Laroche
cocaine on video. Hills fessed up to selling $30 worth of
the drug.
Laroche told investigators the cocaine was in her brassiere.
A spoon with blood and drug residue on it was in her purse.
Laroche, of Port St. Lucie, also was arrested on charges of
cocaine possession, cocaine purchasing and possession of
drug equipment.
Hills, of Fort Pierce, was arrested on a cocaine selling
charge.

Caring for Cast Iron Cookware
If the rust is a bit deep get some sandpaper and try to
remove it. After removal of the rust, clean it well with
soap and water, then dry it. Brush some vegetable oil on it
and heat in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove and let
cool. Then reapply more oil and heat for another 30 minutes.
If the rust is only topical then you can rub it out using
equal parts vegetable oil and salt. Then follow the
instructions for the seasoning and heating from above. Good
luck!
By Tahloolabelle [36 Posts, 90 Comments]
I knew an old Swiss Chef, who would have gotten VERY violent
if somebody did that to his frying pans.
He always used warm water and if necessary some salt to
scour cast iron pans. After that he always immediately dried
and heated them, and re-seasoned them with whatever was
handy, a bacon rind, butter, or oil, and heated them until
they started to smoke.
His pans were slick enough to flip pancakes, omlettes,
crepes, quiche, even fish. He came over from Switzerland
every summer to fish, and even built a cabin near my place
in the Yukon. He grew a very nice garden and fished every
day until he died, while fishing.
Sandpaper is silly. It just cleans the high spots. Rust is
usually in the pits and pores of neglected pans. Salt or
fine sand scrubs it out nicely, or even a brass suede brush.
Have FUN!

Georgia mom arrested for sitting on toddler’s head
for one hour
Susan Elizabeth Kelley,
Kennesaw,
Georgia
A Kennesaw woman was arrested after police said she sat on
her 2-year-old son’s head for an hour.
Susan Elizabeth Kelley placed her son’s head on the seat
portion of a wooden dining room chair with a towel placed
under the child’s head, according to a warrant obtained
Monday by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“The accused sat on the child’s head, with full body weight,
for approximately 1 hour in an attempt to gain ‘submission’
from the child,” according to the warrant.
The child, who had redness on his head, chest and back,
became unresponsive and was taken to Children’s Healthcare
of Atlanta at Egleston. He is expected to make a full
recovery, according to the warrant.
Kelley was arrested on a charge of first degree cruelty to
children. She was released from the Cobb County Adult
Detention Center on $55,220 bond.

RE: Microsoft has admitted that they are mugging
Dear Webby
Microsoft has admitted that the W10 Pop-Ups are deceptive
and "X"ing out of them is treated as approving the
installation of W10.
Michael
Dear Michael
Yes, the Department of Sleaze has indeed been getting
scared of Archie Bunker, Jr. and very desperate. They want
everybody enslaved by W10 before the election gets serious.
Their newest sleazy trick is that infamous W10 Pop-Up.
Ever since Windows 1 the X in the right hand top corner has
meant:
"Stop! Don't do anything! Just get me outa here!"
Now, when everybody has been trained to that, and the
term "X-ing out of there" has become part of the language,
With the W10 Mugging Pop-Up it signals "Yes, Install W10"
Do NOT hit the X unless you DO want W10 !
Click on the "here", that I circled in red.
In the PopUp it is a yuppie style NOT underlined link,
unlike the underlined compatibility report link further
down. It is purposly almost hidden and hard to spot.
Hit that "here" and set the W10 installation date to
Feb 29, 2099
Please note: The "x out of here" perversion does not apply
to anything else. All software and the rest of Windows use
the "X" in the traditional way, like it has been used since
Windows 1.
Yes, I know that is extremely sleazy, but the Department of
Sleaze is in a panic and freaking out about the thought,
that you might escape.
What is funny is that, as Cindy has found out, their legal
department overrules the Department Of Sleaze. If you let it
install W10, but at the end refuse to accept their terms
and refuse to give all rights on everything including to not
yet ordered pizza to Microsoft, then they un-install, take
their marbles and waddle away in a pout.
They may or may not try again, but setting the installation
date to 2099 seems to work well. I did that years ago, and
they have not bothered me since.
Even funnier is that W10 is not really that bad. It is about
as good as XP was before the Service Packs and works well
enough. W10 is just klutzy and awkward because they use an
awkward user interface designed by somebody's dopey niece.
If you get the very popular third party Classic Shell, it is
just as good as W7.
So far over 15 Million people use Classic Shell.
You can get it free at
http://filehippo.com/download_classic_shell/
There are other shells available too, but Classic Shell is
the best known and has a good forum.
Hopefully Microsoft will use it in W11 or W12.
Good Luck!

The impish girl turned on the tractor and pushed the
outhouse into the creek. Later, her father told her the
story of George Washington chopping down his father's
cherry tree but wasn't spanked because he had told the
truth.
The girl proudly announced, "I cannot tell a lie. I pushed
the outhouse into the creek." He told her to bend over and
the shocked child protested that George Washington had not
been punished. The father replied, "Well, George's father
wasn't IN the cherry tree when it got chopped down!"
---------------
That story inspired the Outhouse Races on Lakeelse Lake
in northern BC in the 60's and early 70s. It seems the
people living there now are not as adventurous as we used
to be.
Instead of paddling a 4 foot x 4 foot ( 1.2 m x 1.2 m )
raft with a 6 foot high outhouse on it across the lake,
they now have a wine tasting party and raffle off a boat.

My next-door neighbor and I frequently borrow things from
each other. Not long ago, when I requested his ladder, he
told
me that he had lent it to his son. Recalling a saying my
grandmother used to repeat, I recited, "You should never
lend
anything to your kids, because you will never get it back."
And my neighbor said, "Well, it's not really my ladder.
It's actually my dad's."

Mugger gets caught after his car won't start at the
Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida
Edenson Major,
26,
Belle Glade,
Floriduh
A Belle Glade man accused of a mugging at the Seminole Hard
Rock Hotel and Casino was arrested after his getaway car
failed to start and he had to catch a ride from a passer-by,
Seminole authorities said.
Edenson Major, 26, was arrested in connection with a robbery
that took place about noon Monday on the third floor of the
Winner's Way parking garage at the casino near Hollywood,
said spokesman Gary Bitner.
Major allegedly walked up behind the 73-year-old, reached
into the man's pocket and stole $1,895 in cash. The man fell
and Major walked away, Bitner said.
Surveillance video showed Major leaving the garage and
walking toward a vehicle, which would not start.
A passer-by offered to jump-start the vehicle, but then gave
Major a ride to the intersection of Stirling Road and U.S.
441, leaving the disabled car behind, investigators said.
Seminole police found the car in the parking lot and called
its owner, who said he had loaned the car to Major, his
cousin.
Police arrested Major just before 3 p.m. Wednesday and
charged him with robbery by sudden snatching, theft from a
person 65 or older, and battery on a person 65 or older,
records show.

RE: Easiest way to deal with W10 mugging
Dear Webby
Hi, read your tip today about Windows 10 being installed
without requesting it. Same happened to me today. I woke
up to a screen telling me Windows 10 was now installed!
After attempting to make it go away, including turning off
my computer and restarting it, I finally clicked B>next
which led to the legal talk wanting me to agree to their
terms. I said “no†and it then re-installed my previous
version automatically.
Might help some others when it happens to them! As always,
thanks for the fabulous computer wisdom you share with us.
Cindy
Dear Cindy
Thank you very much for that tip!
It is certainly the easiest method to get out from under

Good Luck!

Tip: Opening Jars with Arthritic Hands
I have arthritis in my hands and it is hard to open some jar
lids. So I cut a square of rubber shelf lining to use on the
lid . If it is stubborn, I put the jar under hot running

me.

as they come to pay their last respects?"
The second man said, "I hope they say I was a respected

friends."
The third man said, "I hope they say I was a well spoken
attorney, helped my fellow man, good citizen, and played
a mean round of golf."
The first man said, "That's probably what will be said of
the two of you.
My hope is that when they look down in my coffin they say,

Robert, age eight, was the son of strict Presbyterian
parents. He was very, very good, worked hard at school, did
his chores, and was generally helpful and obedient. But one
morning, for some reason, he came down to breakfast in a
very nasty mood. When his mother served him prunes, he
snarled, "I don't want prunes," and he refused to eat them.
His parents were aghast, and his father said, "Robert, you
know that Lord commanded children to honor and obey their
parents, and He will punish those who do not."
But Robert still refused and was angrily sent back to bed,
and the prunes were put in the refrigerator.
A few minutes later, a terrible thunderstorm came up with
great roars of thunder and flashes of lightning. "Ah,
wonderful," said Robert's mother, "this will teach him a
lesson."
To their great surprise though, Robert came to the top of
the stairs and called down: "Sounds like God doesn't want
you to make such a fuss about some silly prunes!"

Two Tennessee ministers nabbed in child-prostitution sting
Jason Kennedy, 46,
Knoxville
Tennessee
Zubin Parakh, 32
Clinton,
Tennessee
Two Knoxville-area ministers face felony charges for seeking
sex with underage girls as part of an undercover sting
operation targeting human trafficking and prostitution this
week.
Jason Kennedy, 46, of Knoxville was charged Thursday with
felony human trafficking and patronizing prostitution and
trafficking after he and Zubin Parakh answered online
advertisements specifically offering sex with an underage
girl, said Mark Gwyn, director of the Tennessee Bureau of
Investigation. Kennedy was a children's minister at Grace
Baptist Church in the Knoxville suburb of Karns, Tenn.,
until his arrest; his name had been scrubbed as of Friday
from the church's website, Twitter and Facebook feeds.
Also charged with felony trafficking is Parakh, 32, of
Clinton, who served as creative pastor with LifeHouse Church
in Oak Ridge, according to a cached version of the church's
website. By Friday afternoon, references to Parakh also had
been taken off his church's site.
Kennedy has been fired from his job at Grace Baptist,
according to a statement the church released Friday
afternoon.
"The actions of the children's pastor for which he has been
arrested were part of his life outside the church, and we
have received no questions or concerns related to his
conduct within the church or its ministries," church
officials said. A background check, done before Kennedy was
hired 2½ years ago, and the minister himself indicated no
problems.
Kennedy was one of two charged with felony trafficking
because he specifically sought out an underage girl,
authorities said. The trafficking charge is normally a Class
B felony, which could mean eight to 30 years in prison and
a
fine of up to $25,000; however, authorities said they will
enhance it to a Class A felony, which could mean 15 to 60
years in prison and a fine of up to $50,000, because their
sting operation took place within 1,000 feet of a church.
Another church is next door to the Best Western motel where
Knoxville police officers conducted the three-day sting, the
fifth operation of its kind in Tennessee to serve as a
crackdown on human trafficking.
Kennedy remained in Knox County jail Friday in lieu of
$50,500 bond.
He is accused of responding via text message to an online ad
posted on backpage.com offering sex with two females
including one that undercover agents said was "15, going on
16," according to arrest warrants. After arriving at the
motel, Kennedy stated that "he wanted to have sex with both
the underage juvenile and the other female in the room,"
placed $100 on the counter, removed his pants and was taken
into custody.
Kennedy, a married father of three, was responsible for
ministry for the church's children from birth through fifth
grade, according to a cached page of the church's website
from Feb. 13, 2015.
Parakh initially was one of 26 men cited for patronizing
prostitutes and released, according to spokeswoman Susan
Niland of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. But
authorities since secured a warrant for his arrest on a
felony trafficking charge although he had not yet been re-
arrested Friday afternoon.
“We wanted to make sure there is no safe place to hide for
criminals who would victimize the most vulnerable among us,”
Gwyn said.
The Southern Baptist Convention lists Grace Baptist Church,
celebrating its 100th year this year, as having more than
4,000 members with an average attendance of almost 2,500
people. The affiliation of Baptist churches has resources
online to help a church's staff check the backgrounds of
potential hires, but any background check will fall short if
a person has no previous arrests.
Parakh, a Chattanooga native, is a longtime friend of
LifeHouse Church's lead pastor, who arrived at the Oak Ridge
church in 2010, according to a cache of that church's
website.
The agents who posted advertisements on backpage.com
received more than 300 inquiries, including more than two
dozen contacts for the ad involving an underage girl,
officials said.

RE: Got mugged by W10
Dear Webby
Last Saturday, after many months of no problems, Microsoft
decided to take over her laptop and install win 10. I
stopped the install, but now she gets a "warning" her win 7
is bogus and we cannot get a desktop background to stay.
when she leaves the desktop to do something she comes back
to a blank background and insinuations her copy was not
purchased from Microsoft. What can be done as I cannot find
our install disk?
Thanks for your humor.
Dear Franklin
It is better to let it finish the mugging and then do an
UNinstall.
Just make sure you don't do the "Cleanup to save disk
space", that it recommends. That dumps the W7 files.
I wrote about it on May 19. A date easy to remember, the day
before my birthday.
I wrote:
==================
Dear Esme
DON'T clean up to free space after they sleaze in W10!
Just do these steps.
Open up Settings via the Start menu or the taskbar icon.
Click Update & Security and
then move to the Recovery section.
Under the Go back to Windows 7 or Go back to Windows 8.1
heading, click Get started and
you'll be guided through the rest of the process.
That's pretty well all you have to do.
If you want to read more about it, go to
Details are at
http://betanews.com/2015/08/17/how-to-u ... indows-10-
and-go-back-to-windows-7-or-8-1/
============
If she did the "Cleanup" and cremated Lazarus, then you can
save all important files onto a removable drive or camera
chips, and restore to factory default. You may have to call
the computer maker's tech support and let them step you
through restoring the factory default.
That totally formats the machine, including the BIOS, and
will make it like the day it was sold to you. That is why
you have to copy any and all importart files onto other
media.
For programs, back up the downloaded setup files. You will
have to re-install them after the format.
Calling the Taliban at Microsoft is usually a total waste of
time.
Just follow the instructions above, and if that does not
help, restore to factory default.
Good Luck!

Recipe: Spiked Persimmon Cake
By attosa [203 Posts, 485 Comments]
This is one of my favourite cakes to make around the
holidays, or any time it's cold. The flavours are so
comforting and the added alcohol gives a kick of warmth.
Approximate Time: 1 hour
Yield: 10 servings
Ingredients:
5 super ripe persimmons
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp orange zest
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 Tbsp melted butter
1/4 cup rum or brandy
whipped cream, ice cream, nuts for topping (optional)
Steps:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Pull out the stems of the persimmons. Using a spoon, scoop
out the persimmon pulp and add to a bowl (throw out the
skins). Mash the pulp with a fork
Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, nutmeg,
cinnamon, and orange zest in a large bowl.
Add the persimmon, milk, sugar, and eggs in another bowl and
mix until blended. Add the melted butter and alcohol.
Stir the flour mixture into the wet mixture little by
little, making sure it's very well combined. Pour this
mixture into a greased baking dish.
Bake for 40-45 minutes. Use a toothpick to poke it, it's
ready when it comes out clean. You'll also know its ready
when the edges of the cake pull away from the baking dish
and your home smells amazing! Expect it to be crispy at the
edges, and extremely moist in the middle. Serve with whipped
cream or ice cream and sprinkle of nuts.

bread and a recipe for brandy banana bread.

We were listening to a lecture on psychic phenomena
in our Comparative Religions course. Our instructor told
us about a woman who contacted police working on a
missing-persons case. "She gave eerily detailed
instructions on where to find the body," the teacher said.
"In fact, the detectives did find the body just as she had
described. Now what would you call that kind of person?"
While the rest of us pondered the question, a sheriff's
officer taking the course raised his hand and replied,
"A suspect."

There were these two guys out hiking when they came
upon an old, abandoned mineshaft. Curious about its
depth they threw in a pebble and waited for the sound of
it striking the bottom, but they heard nothing. They went
and got a bigger rock, threw it in and waited.
Still nothing. They searched the area for something larger
and came upon a railroad tie. With great difficulty, the
two men carried it to the opening and threw it in.
While waiting for it to hit bottom, a goat suddenly darted
between them and leapt into the hole!
The guys were still standing there with astonished looks
upon their faces from the actions of the goat when a man
walked up to them. He asked them if they had seen a goat
anywhere in the area and they said that one had just
jumped into the mineshaft in front of them!
The man replied, "Oh no. That couldn't be MY goat,
mine was tied to a railroad tie."

Police Commissioner stated that the terrorists Bin Sleepin,

immigration issues.
The Detroit public is advised to stay calm as absolutely
NO ONE fitting the description of the fourth cell member,
Bin Workin, is anywhere near the area. Police are confident
that anyone who looks like he's Bin Workin will be very

RE: Does OCR really work?
Dear Webby
I have about 150 pages of typewritten material I would like
to put in a word processor and on a disk. Does this OCR
software I see advertised really work?
Thanks for the great jokes, and all of your tech pit help.
William
Dear William
OCR programs have probably improved more than any other
programs. Try a few of the free ones and see if they work
well with the fonts used on that project.
Some OCR programs take typewritten fonts quite nicely,
others only work well with modern computer generated fonts.
There are also a bunch of professional OCR programs that do
cost some money, but are of higher quality and usually have
spell checks built in. With the spell-checks you have to be
careful and not let them automatically correct. They tend to
work like the auto-correct on many programs, that substitute
similar sounding but totally wrong words.
Have FUN!

By attosa [203 Posts, 485 Comments]
Approximate Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 4 sides
Ingredients:
6 large brussels sprouts (or 8 mediums)
2 strips of bacon
5 walnuts
salt, pepper, and optional sprinkle of sugar to taste
Best Bacon Brussels Sprouts
Steps:
Cut little cone/triangle shapes from the bottoms of the
sprouts.
Best Bacon Brussels Sprouts
Pull off the individual leaves off sprouts and collect in
bowl/plate.
Best Bacon Brussels Sprouts
Chop bacon into tiny cubes and render in a pan on medium
heat until crispy.
Remove bacon from pan and let rest on paper towel. Leave
bacon drippings in pan and add brussels sprouts leaves. Cook
for about 5 minutes.
If you like your brussels sprouts on the softer, more wilted
side, add a teaspoon of water to the pan and cover with lid,
cook for an extra minute. I like mine crispy so I don't
really do this ;)
Chop nuts and add to sprouts. Stir well, add bacon back in.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. You wont need much
because of the bacon. Sprinkle in a tiny bit of sugar to
pull out the caramelized notes, if you like. I do! Serve up
and enjoy!

As the crowded elevator descended, Mrs. Wilson became
increasingly furious with her husband, who was delighted
to be pressed against a gorgeous blonde.
As the elevator stopped at the main floor, the blonde
suddenly whirled around, slapped Mr. Wilson, and said, "That
will teach you to pinch!"
Bewildered, Mr. Wilson was halfway to the parking lot with
his wife when he choked, "I . . . I . . . didn't pinch that
girl."
"Of course you didn't," said his wife, consolingly.
"I did."

"That's wonderful!" she said. "Now go put them on the

Just then, a little voice called from the kitchen.

"Stop."
"How about green?"
"Go."
"And yellow?"

Same result.

Woman stole sex toys from Wal-Mart, said she was too
lazy to pay.
Therasa Prine,
25,
St. Petersburg,
Florida.
A 25-year-old woman identified as Therasa Prine was arrested
in St. Petersburg, Florida after police caught her stealing
items from a local Walmart. Those items included a
vibrating penis ring, arousal gel and other sex toys.
When asked by the officer about why she didn't pay,
Therasa's response was both funny and pathetic: She said she
was "too lazy" to pay. We've heard a lot of shoplifting
excuses but admitting to being lazy usually isn't part of a
criminal's defense.
Things quickly got less amusing for Ms. Prine when cops
searched her purse and found pills and weed. Now she faces
drug charges on top of the shoplifting charge.
Therasa Prine has been arrested multiple times for
everything from domestic violence to grand theft to
resisting arrest.

Colorado woman Robbed Bank While Babysitting Kids
Rachel Einspahr,
28,
Weld County,
Colorado
A Colorado woman is facing charges of robbery and child
abuse after allegedly attempting to rob a bank while
babysitting two kids.
Rachel Einspahr, 28, was arrested Friday afternoon after
police said she robbed the drive-through window of the
Colorado East Bank & Trust in Severance.
According to the release from the Weld County Sheriff’s
Office, Einspahr passed a note to the teller through a
vacuum tube stating that there was a man in her car who was
threatening to harm her children if he didn’t get money.
The note read, “Do not sound alarm, the man in the very back
wants $100s and $50s … no dye packs or trackers … he has gun
on my kids,” according to CBS Denver.
Fearing lives were in danger, the teller gave the suspect
$500, who drove off in a white Nissan SUV.
After the robbery was reported, deputies secured the bank
and canvased the area.
A vehicle matching the teller’s description was discovered a
short distance from the bank, according to the Coloradoan.
Investigators interviewed Einspahr and her employer, and
discovered she had been hired to babysit the two kids who
had been in the back of the SUV used in the robbery,
according to Coloradoan.com.
The kids were unharmed during the robbery.
Einspahr told police, “I can’t go back to jail,” according
to the Denver Channel.
At first, Einspahr maintained that an unknown man forced her
to go to the bank and get money, but police said she
eventually admitting planning the robbery.
Her motive, according to police, was to use the money to pay
$15,000 as part of a restitution/plea deal for previous
offenses, according to the arrest affidavit.
Einspahr has an open case in Evans for over 30 counts of
forgery, ID theft and felony theft and a second open case in
Larimer County on two counts of ID theft, according to the
paperwork.
Einspahr was charged with one count of robbery and two
counts of child abuse. She remains behind bars at the Weld
County Jail.

RE: What are Double Extensions
Dear Webby
I do not understand what you mean by two extensions. Do you
mean paper clips or forwards? Please explain.
Thank you.
Marge
Dear Marge
Sometimes people send you a mail that has a file attached.
It could be a picture, music, accounting spreadsheet, ot
it could be some malware like a virus or a worm.
Each filename has an extension, like color coding, that
tells the computer what to do with it.
If the file "sunrise" is a picture, then probably the
extension would be ".jpg" or ".gif"
When your computer sees ".jpg" or ".gif" at the end of a
file, it knows that it is a picture and it opens the file
with a picture viewer or picture editor.
If the extension is ".xls" or ".wb4" then Windows knows it
is a spreadsheet file and opens it with the right program.
Many viruses are hidden by giving them first a safe
looking extension and then tackig a different one behind it.
If you see for example a file like "backdoor.jpg.bat", then
that file is not a picture, but is a program that installs
a
backdoor for hackers into your computer, and probably
also sends itself to everybody in your Outlook or Outlook
Express address book.
Therefore, whenever you see more than one extension
on a file, dump it fast and thoroughly.
Good Luck!

Recipe: Snickerdoodle Wraps
By attosa [202 Posts, 485 Comments]
You would never guess these crispy wraps were made of flour
tortillas. They are like thin cookies crossed with crepes
with a creamy filling. You can use a variety of fillings
like cream cheese, ricotta, or sour cream. I went with
yogurt. I can assure you when you take your first bite,
you'll be absolutely addicted. These are great for any time
of the day, and even make a fantastic dessert.
Approximate Time: 5 minutes
Yield: 2 wraps
Ingredients:
2 medium flour tortillas
2 Tbsp yogurt (or cream cheese, ricotta, sour cream)
1 Tbsp jam
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
oil for frying
Steps:
Spread tortilla with yogurt.
Add a thin layer of jam.
Tightly wrap, removing any filling that oozes out the sides.
Snickerdoodle WrapsSnickerdoodle Wraps
Repeat.
You can use a toothpick to secure the wrap. I like to dab a
bit of yogurt on the end flap to seal. Works great.
Mix together your cinnamon and sugar thoroughly. This will
be for dipping after the frying process.
Add a couple tablespoons of oil to a pan on high heat. Fry
the wraps until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side.
Snickerdoodle WrapsSnickerdoodle Wraps
Drain on paper towels for 10 seconds.
Roll the wraps in the cinnamon sugar.

The psychiatrist was not expecting the distraught stranger
who staggered into his office and slumped into a chair.
"You've got to help me. I'm losing my memory, Doctor," he
sobbed. "I once had a successful business, a wife, home and
family; I was a respected member of the community. But all
that's gone now. Since my memory began failing, I've lost
the business - I couldn't remember my clients' names. My
wife and children have left me, too; and why shouldn't they
- some nights I wouldn't get home until four or five in the
morning. I'd forget where I lived...And it's getting worse.
Doctor -
it's getting worse!"
"This is not an unusual form of neurosis," the psychiatrist
said soothingly. There are ways to deal with that, in a
rigid sequence of events. The first one is for you to pay me
in advance."
"Anything, Doc. Here's my VISA."
After that was taken care of, he asked the psychiatrist:
"OK, now what is the second of those rigidly scheduled
events?"
The shrink hemmed and hawed a bit, then admitted:
"Hmmm, I seem to have forgotten that. I'll have to read up
on it. Now, what was it again that you wanted treated?"

The anesthesiologist at the outpatient surgery
center often chatted with patients before their
operations to help them relax.
One day he thought he recognized a woman as a
co-worker at the VA hospital where he had trained.
When the patient confirmed that his hunch was
correct, he said,
"So, tell me, is the food still as bad there as it used to
be?"
"Well," she replied, "I'm still cooking it."

The psychiatrist was not expecting the distraught stranger
who staggered into his office and slumped into a chair.
"You've got to help me. I'm losing my memory, Doctor," he
sobbed. "I once had a successful business, a wife, home and
family; I was a respected member of the community. But all
that's gone now. Since my memory began failing, I've lost
the business - I couldn't remember my clients' names. My
wife and children have left me, too; and why shouldn't they
- some nights I wouldn't get home until four or five in the
morning. I'd forget where I lived...And it's getting worse.
Doctor -
it's getting worse!"
"This is not an unusual form of neurosis," the psychiatrist
said soothingly. There are ways to deal with that, in a
rigid sequence of events. The first one is for you to pay me
in advance."
"Anything, Doc. Here's my VISA."
After that was taken care of, he asked the psychiatrist:
"OK, now what is the second of those rigidly scheduled
events?"
The shrink hemmed and hawed a bit, then admitted:
"Hmmm, I seem to have forgotten that. I'll have to read up
on it. Now, what was it again that you wanted treated?"

Bob, a trendy dresser, fancied himself quite a romeo, and
was delighted to find a note pinned inside a new shirt. It
contained a girl's name and address, and asked the
recipient to send a photograph. How romantic, he thought
to himself, very taken with the idea of this mystery woman
so eager to meet him, and promptly mailed off a note and a
photo.
Heart aflutter, he opened her response. It read,
"Thanks for writing. I was just curious to see what kind of
guy would buy such a goofy shirt."

A priest had the weight of the world on him and was

who ordered him to take a week off. The priest went to the
largest city in the area. After about a dozen belts of neat
whiskey, he found himself in one of the city's clip joints. A
very well built waitress in a flimsy, low-cut uniform came
over and asked, "What'll it be, Father?"
The priest felt to see if he was still wearing his collar by
mistake, but he had none on. "How did you know I'm a
priest? he asked.
The waitress laughed: "I'm Sister Mary Margaret. I go to the

RE: Double Extensions
Dear Webby
I know you said to always trash any attachments that have
two extensions, because they never have anythin worthwhile
but usually something harmful. My brother sent me a letter
that had an attachment with two extensions, so I deleted it
and told him to clean up his act. He told me they are not bad,
and that it can happen when one picks up a page saved
from the net and opens it with a spreadsheet program.
He told me not to worry about double extensions.
Lynn
Dear Lynn
Yes, it can happen, if somebody is too absentminded to
save a file properly, just like it can happen that somebody
like him watches people on the other side of the street,-
and walks into a lightpole.
Only somebody who has walked into too many light poles
would tell anybody to not worry about double extensions.
There may be the odd harmless ooops, but with double
extensions the hostile and dangerous files outnumber the
ooopses by a huge margin. With viruses and worms it is
much smarter to err on the safe side. You did the smart
thing.
Good Luck!

Here is an old classic, returned by Collette:
During a friendly argument, my husband asked me why I
married him in the first place.
"I was just stupid," I teased.
When he said he was happy to hear that, I requested an
explanation.
"People get divorced all the time because they fall out of
love," he said. "But I've never heard of anybody falling out
of stupid."

snoring. So she called the doctor one morning, and asked
him if there was anything he could do to relieve her
"suffering."
"Well, there is one operation I can perform that will cure
your husband, but it is really rather expensive. It will
cost $2500 down, and payments of $550 for 24 months,
plus payments for extras."
"My goodness!" the woman exclaimed, "sounds like leasing

Four expectant fathers were in Minneapolis hospital
waiting room, while their wives were in labor.
The nurse arrived and announced to the first man,
"Congratulations sir, You're the father of twins."
"What a coincidence," the man said with some obvious
pride. "I work for the Minnesota Twins baseball team."
The nurse returned in a little while and turned to the
second man, "You sir, are the father of triplets."
"Wow, That's really an incredible coincidence," he
answered. "I work for the 3M Corporation." My buddies
at work will never let me live this one down.
An hour later, while the other two men were passing
cigars around, the nurse came back, this time she turn
to the 3rd man - who had been quiet in the corner. She
announced that his wife had just given birth to
quadruplets.
Stunned, he barely could reply. "Don't tell me!
Another coincidence?" asked the nurse. After finally
regaining his composure, he said "I don't believe it,
I work for the Four Seasons Hotel."
After hearing this, everybody's attention turned to
the 4th guy, who had just fainted, flat out on the
floor. The nurse rushed to his side and after some
time, he slowly gained back his consciousness.
When he was finally able to speak, you could hear him
whispering repeatedly the same phrase over and over
again.
"I should have never taken that job at 7-Eleven...

Bill loved living in Staten Island, but he wasn't crazy
about the ferry. Miss a ferry late at night, and you have to
spend the next hour or so wandering the deserted streets of
lower Manhattan.
So when he spotted a ferry no more than fifteen feet from
the dock, he decided he wouldn't subject himself to an
hour's wait.
He made a running leap and landed on his hands and knees,
a little bruised maybe, but safe on deck.
He got up, brushed himself off, and announced proudly to
a bystander, "Well, I made that one, didn't I?'
"Sure did," the bystander said. "But you should have waited
a minute or two. The ferry is just about to dock."

Arkansas petsitter reported found in women's underwear
gets 25 years for child porn
Haschel Capps,
34,
England
An Arkansas petsitter arrested earlier this year after an
investigation into explicit photos of young girls found
on a thumb drive has pleaded guilty to child pornography
charges.
Pulaski County sheriff’s office spokesman Capt. Carl
Minden said in a statement Friday that Haschel Capps, 34,
of England was sentenced to 25 years in prison as part of
a plea deal.
Capps’ arrest in January came after a man reported
finding Capps — who had been hired to watch over the
man’s pets during an out-of-town trip — wearing women’s
underwear and using a laptop in his home in August 2014,
according to a report.
The homeowner told the sheriff's office that the two then
got into an argument and he kicked Capps out of the
residence.
The man reported in October of that year to the sheriff’s
office that he had found a thumb drive in his couch that
contained photos of “small girls nude and in a
pornographic nature.”
That drive also contained photos of Capps wearing women’s
underwear, apparently taken by someone else, he told
authorities.
Capps remained at the Pulaski County jail as of Friday
evening, according to an inmate roster.

RE: How do I turn automatic updates off?
Dear Webby
Good Morning, -- at least it was --
I have a Toshiba laptop, about 4 years old, with Windoze
7.
Question, How do I find out if it has an ASUS motherboard
and, if I do, how do I turn off auto update? This was my
wife's machine and has a few sticcky keys which got that
way from spilled wine (don't ask)
As usual, I enjoy your site and this notice about Windows
7 has me buffaloed.
My desktop is running Windows 8.1 and my little netbook
is using XP which works for me.
I also have a tablet running on Android so I assume that
is safe, at least for now.
tom
DearTom!
Writer to Toshiba support and ask them.
re Updates:
Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button
In the search box, type Update, and then,
in the list of results, clickWindows Update.
In the left pane, click Change settings.
Choose the option that you want.
Personally, I let McAfee take care of that.
It checks for updates and then lets me choose which ones
I want, and which ones I don't want.
Have FUN!

Dear Webby
Lost my job today.
Came into work on time...
I did exactly what the boss told me to do! I followed all the
rules, and never once disrespected anybody.
Then, the first time I ever had a chance to drive one of
them forklifts, I made one little mistake, and everyone
starts running around in circles screaming and shouting.
You'd think I blew the place up or something, the way
people were looking at me afterwards!
I don't understand it... I didn't mean to do it... It was just
a little accident, nobody got hurt and the forklift didn't
even get scratched.
Everyone messes up some time, it could've happened to
anyone! I have no idea why they got so uptight and fired
me. Do you think it might be discrimination?

If you use Windows 7 and have an ASUS motherboard, turn
auto-update off NOW!
Make 100% sure you don't do the W7 Murder update #
KB3133977
Microsoft did update the support document for KB3133977
with a warning which states: “After you install
update 3133977 on a Windows 7 x64-based system that
includes an Asus-based main board, the system does not
start”.
They warned you about their cold blooded murder.
If you DID let KB3133977 sleaze in, DO NOT try to
restart! It will not start up again, ever.
Carefully back up everything you will need on your next
machine onto an external drive or camera chips or onto
the net.
Then order your next machine.
Details are at
Microsoft kills W7 on machines
with ASUS motherboards
Microsoft knew about this in advance, but it has no
plans to do anything about it. You can always buy a W10
machine.
The only not quite so bad news is that you can take the
hard drive from the murdered W7 machine, put it into an
USB drive enclosure, and plug it into a W7 machine, that
has not been murdered yet, and transfer the data to
that machine. IF you have such a machine sitting around.
Other than that, you can buy a W10 machine and plug the
USB drive into that.
Keep an eye out for a KB3133977 blocker, but be aware
that Microsoft is out to kill W7. They are not going to
let it live forever like XP.
ASUS has a way toget around Microsoft's bomb, IF you
have another machine to read the isntructions at
go to the following Asus support website to learn how to
disable Secure Boot for Windows 7 or print them out
beforehand.

Man who smashed ‘Molotov cocktail’ into cop car
‘wanted to go to jail.’
Jose Rodriguez
28
Gloucester City,
New Jersey
A Gloucester City who man was arrested for allegedly
lighting a “Molotov cocktail” and smashing it into a
marked police car Saturday said he did it because he
wanted to go to jail, authorities said.
Gloucester City police say 28-year-old Jose E. Rodriguez
walked into the parking lot of the police department
around 8:17 p.m. carrying a Molotov cocktail.
Authorities say he set it ablaze and then smashed the
device against the side of a marked 2015 Ford Explorer.
When police went to the parking lot to extinguish the
flames, they found Rodriguez standing in the lot and
asked if he saw the person who started the fire.
“When the officers asked the male if he saw who started
the fire, he told them he did because he wanted to go to
jail,” police said in a statement on their Facebook
page.
Following an investigation, Rodriguez was charged with
aggravated arson, possession of a weapon, possession of
a weapon for an unlawful purpose and criminal mischief.
He is being held in Camden County Jail on $100,000 bail.
Authorities say the patrol vehicle only sustained minor
damage.

RE: Spam from known addresses
Dear Webby
Some of the spam I get is from addresses that I KNOW
are not spammers. How can one tell where the spam is
really coming from? And WHERE do they get the return
addresses from that they forge onto their spam?
Jean
Dear Jean
If you have ever forwarded a sappy chain letter, that was
a thinly disguised harvesting of addresses, or if you
have a Yahoo or AOL a ddress, or if you work for the
hacked US Government or any of the hacked companies, then
your address is in the hands of the spammers.
If you have MailWasher,
it will reveal the actual FROM address, that they
disguise with your or a friend's address.
There is no point writing back to spammers. They usually
just use disposable addresses, that they never check
anyway. Just dump the spam.

Making Paper Tea Light Shades
By ShirleyE [76 Posts, 56 Comments]
These beautiful light shades will give a beautiful fairy
grotto feel to a springtime buffet.
Use electric tea lights rather than real candles so there
is no danger of the paper catching on fire.
Supplies:
A5 coloured paper
pencil
thumb tack/drawing pin
a chopping board, corrugated card, or polystyrene tile
double sided sticky tape
electric tea light
Steps:
Draw a simple design onto your paper. If you don't have
any A5 paper, just cut a sheet of A4 in half.
Place your design onto your chopping board, corrugated
card, or polystyrene tile to protect your work surface.
Use the thumb tack or other sharp tool to make holes
along the lines of your design.
If your design includes words, don't forget to write the
letters backwards.
Apply double sided sticky tape to one short edge.
Curl the paper into a cylinder and secure with the tape.
Turn on your light, place inside the tube and enjoy the
display.

A Missouri farmer passed away and left 17 mules to his
three sons. The instructions left in the will said that
the oldest boy was to get one-half, the second oldest
one-third, and the youngest one-ninth. The three sons,
recognizing the difficulty of dividing 17 mules into
these fractions, began to argue.
Their uncle heard about the argument, hitched up his mule
and drove out to settle the matter. He added his mule to
the 17, making 18. The oldest therefore got one-half, or
nine, the second oldest got one-third, or six, and the
youngest son got one-ninth, or two. Adding up 9, 6 and 2
equals 17. The uncle, having settled the argument,
hitched up his mule and drove home.

Venezuelan stripper and glamor model was
arrested after she knocked out her mother in law.
Diosa Canales, 29,
Roberto Rojas Romero, 32,
Naguanagua, Carabobo
Venezuela
According to her statement, the mother in law says, the
incident happened after the couple’s two-year-old daughter
accidentally swallowed Rivotril pills - a tranquiliser drug
sometimes known as Clonazepam - and threw away the
bottle.She described how the model, who has more than 36,000
followers on Instagram, began to verbally abuse the little
girl and she intervened. At this point her son grabbed onto
her neck and strangled her until she could not breath, after
which Canales punched her in her left eye, leaving her
unconscious for some minutes.
According to a police report , both of them have been
arrested for having "caused physical injury to the mother in
various parts of the body".
The alleged victim, Solange Ramona Romero Mota, 50, went to
the police station to report the attack.
Diosa Canales is a Venezuelan singer, pole-dancer, and model
well known for making promises of getting naked if her
country's national football team wins a football tournament.
She became an internet phenomenon when she got naked in
front of her twitcam and was watched by more than 30,000
people in less than 12 minutes. She even became a trending
topic until she was censored by Twitter.

Cakes Sticking to the Pan
By sadiena [3 Posts, 3 Comments]
What is the easiest way to bake a cake without it sticking
to the pan and spending all this time scrubbing the pan?
By booboo kitty from Jacksonville, FL
Best Answer
I've always greased the pan the old fashioned way and then
after removing the cake just simply soak the pans in water
for about five minutes and it comes off easily with even
your fingertips. Definitely no scrubbing and save money by
not using extra or fancy products.
By Michelle Landreth [17 Posts, 67 Comments]
Best Answer
Baker's Joy or store brand, works like a charm! I wouldn't
try these for years because I didn't want to risk my cake
possibly sticking to the pans. I always greased and floured
my pans the old fashioned way. I finally broke down and
tried the sprays. They work great and so simple to use.
Cakes pop right out of the pans with no problem.

A man sobering up from the night before is sitting through
the Sunday sermon, finding it long and boring. Still feeling
hung over and tired, he finally nods off.
The priest has been watching him all along, noticing his
apparent hangover and is disgusted. At the end of the
sermon, the preacher decides to make an example of him.
In almost a whisper he says to his congregation, "All those
wishing to have a place in heaven, please stand."
The whole room stands up except, of course, the sleeping
man. Then the preacher yells with increasing loudness:
"And he who will find a place in hell please STAND UP!"
The weary man catching only the last part groggily stands
up, only to find that he's the only one standing.
Confused and embarrassed he says, "I don't know what we're
voting on here, Father, but it sure seems like you and me
are the only ones standing for it!"

NY principal who was fired for being always
late, was 88 days late for appealing the firing.
Marcella Sills
Far Rockaway,
New York.
The city fired Sills in February from her $128,000-a-year
gig at PS 106 in Far Rockaway after
The Post exposed her out-of-control tardiness.
Infamous “School of No” Principal Marcella Sills, who was
fired for excessive lateness, is tardy again — filing a
lawsuit to get her job back months after the legal deadline.
This, when PS 106 earned the “School of No” moniker because
it had nothing — no books, no gym
or art classes, no nurse’s office, no special-ed teachers,
no books for the Common Core
curriculum.
Yet now she’s suing for reinstatement — noting that her
union contract never specified what
time she was to show for work.
The hooky-playing Sills cheated taxpayers as well as
students at PS 106 in Far Rockway, an arbitrator ruled in
firing her Jan. 22.
The arbitrator slapped Sills for arriving up to several
hours late 178 times between September 2012 and January
2014, but never documented the absences and “committed theft
of time.”
She had 10 days under state law to appeal her termination.
She filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court on April 19 —
88 days after the decision.
Her suit contends the city’s contract with principals
doesn’t set a start and end time for a work day, so she
can’t be nailed for lateness.
Her lawyer, Douglas Rosenthal, admitted the filing was
delinquent, but asked the judge to make an exception for
Sills “in the interest of justice.”
The city Law Department declined to comment.
Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña ousted Sills in February
2014 after The Post exposed her abuses, dubbing PS 106 the
“School of No” because it had lacked basics such as books
for the Common Core curriculum. Instead of gym and art
classes, kids watched movies.

13 year olds often like to behave like little smartass
pranksters. Sometimes, some of them like that so much,
that they never reach the relative maturity expected of a
14 year old.
By the way, there is absolutely no point in writing to the
originators of those pranks and telling them that they are
not going to see a box, and not going to get a check from
Bill Gates or anybody.
Doing that would be like trying to teach a pig to sing.
It hurts the ears, and it annoys the pig.

Individual Chocolate Cakes
By Becky Miles [100 Posts, 151 Comments]
This is taken from Nigella Lawson's recipe for
Chocohotopots. (I made a few changes). They are delicious
and quick to whip up. My picky kids can't wait for these to
come out of the oven. Definitely a keeper!
cake with ice cream
Approximate Time: 10 minutes to make, 20-25 minutes to cook
Yield: 4 cakes
Ingredients:
1 stick of butter (8 tablespoons)
4 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped (I just use half a cup of
chocolate chips)
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
3 Tbsp flour
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp of instant coffee dissolved in 1 teaspoon of hot
water
Steps:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Butter 4 ramekins with an extra tablespoon of butter.
Melt chocolate and butter. Cool a little (a few minutes).
chocolate melted with butter
In separate bowl, combine eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla, salt,
and dissolved coffee.
mixing dry ingredients with eggs and coffee
Add chocolate mixture to the bowl. Stir til combined. Pour
into ramekins.
pour batter into ramekins
The original recipe says to bake for 20 minutes. But, it's a
little too gooey and under-cooked to serve to my kids. I
bake them for 25-28 minutes, til there's no jiggle and the
cakes are more set.
out of the oven
When the cakes come out, you can add some chocolate to the
middle or if you like to live dangerously, a spoonful of
Nutella. Ice cream is really good on it, too.
Let cakes cool for about 10 minutes, so no one gets burned.
Enjoy!

A little son of a Lutheran minister was in church one
morning when he saw for the first time the rite of baptism.
He was greatly interested in it, and the next morning
proceeded to baptize his three cats in the bathtub.
The first kitten bore it very well, and so did the young
cat, but the old family cat rebelled. It struggled, clawed
and tore at him, and got away.
With considerable effort he caught it again and proceeded
with the ceremony. But she acted worse than ever, clawed
at him, spit, and scratched his hands and face.
Finally, after barely getting her splattered after chasing
her with a casserole filled with water, he disgustedly
declared: "Fine, be a Casserole Baptist !"

a Georgia woman who was arrested for having
an orgy with under-age youths.
Rachel Lenhardt
35,
Evans,
Georgia
An Evans woman opened up to her Alcoholic Anonymous sponsor
and ended up in jail based partly on what she revealed about
an underage party and sex romp at her home, according to
authorities.
Rachel Lenhardt, 35, was charged Monday with two counts of
contributing to the delinquency of a minor for allegedly
providing marijuana and alcohol to minors at her home on
Whitney Pass in Evans.
The sponsor told investigators that she was recently asked
to help Lenhardt, so she asked her over for coffee on April
10 to talk about Lenhardt’s plans for sobriety and such.
Lenhardt informed her she was four days sober since April 6
when she lost custody of her five children ages 4, 6, 8, 10
and 16. Lenhardt told her that an emergency hearing was
conducted this month when her kids were taken away from her
due to an incident that occurred at her house.
According to a sheriff’s report, Lenhardt gave her sponsor
this account of the party:
Her kids were with their father one night when her 16-year-
old daughter texted her and asked if her and some friends
could come over “to party.” Lenhardt replied “come on, let`s
party.” Lenhardt allowed her teen daughter and her friends
to smoke marijuana and drink her alcohol in her home. The
group of minors and her played naked Twister in the living
room.
Lenhardt had sex with an 18 year old in the bathroom while
the others continued to play Twister. Lenhardt told her
sponsor she was still “horny” afterward so she brought her
sex toys out in the living room and began to use them on
herself in front of the group.
The group and Lenhardt then got in her hot tub naked where
the party continued. Lenhardt said she was asleep in her bed
and woke up around 3:30 a.m. when she felt someone having
sex with her. She thought it was the 18-year-old but
realized it was her daughter’s 16-year-old boyfriend. The
daughter later told her mother that she felt guilty because
the boyfriend’s 10-inch penis was too large for her and he
needed to have sex so he used the mother instead.
Lenhardt also told her sponsor that she had shown her
daughter pornographic photos, including photos of her and
her current boyfriend having sex.
The sponsor told investigators that Lenhardt has opened up
about being a sexual deviant and porn addict.
Sheriff’s Capt. Steve Morris said this week’s arrest of
Lenhardt is based partially on the account given to them by
the AA sponsor. He said no sexual crime charges were being
filed because 16 is the legal age of consent.
AA apparently is not anonymous and confidential in Georgia.
Her picture looks very familiar, as if I had given her or
her sister a bonehead award already.

Fix Reel Mower Treads
By MITCH [17 Posts, 7 Comments]
My "Weed-eater" reel mower is 5 1/2 years old, and it shows.
But if the plastic wheel treads won't dig in against the
resistance of the grass, then it's over. That's probably by
design to make us toss 'em sooner and buy new!
Here's a simple solution to planned obsolescence. Find a few
tiny wood screws, enough to go around both wheels (4 or 5
each) and screw into treads at thickest places. Not too deep
or they'll scrape metal below and slow or stop machine.
Especially for self propelled mowers, better than "tiny wood
screws" are fat hex head sheet metal screws like are used
to mount metal roofing. They have wide shoulders that sit
flush on the plstic wheels and don't get torn out. You can
get a socket for them and an adapter to fit into any drill.
You can do both driving wheels in a couple of minutes.
Then it will pull you along instead of you pushing it. I had
to do that on my 26" YardWorks mower and it madea huge
difference.
Have FUN!

The mayor agreed.
Bubba said, "To show my appreciation for all the things

brand new Cadillac. It's loaded! It has everything!
Here you go. Here are the keys."
The mayor, "Now, Bubba, you know that I can't accept that!"
Bubba said, "Oh, yeah, right! Gift limits and all that!
Here! I'll sell it to you for half a dollar!"
The mayor said, "Okay, Bubba," and gave him a 5 dollar bill.
Bubba grinned as he pocketed the bill, "Oops! I don't have

The mayor just shrugged and said,
"That's okay. I'll just take ten of those half dollar

One day, a saleswoman knocked his door and asked to
see his wife, so he told her that she wasn't home.
"Well," the woman said, " could I please wait for her?"
The man wordlessly directed her to the bench on the

yardwork.
After 3 hours she got quite worried and called out for him
and asked, "May I know where your wife is?"
"At the cemetery," he replied.
"And when is she coming?"
"I don't really know," he said.
Then she asked "When did she go there ?"

Rio Ponderosa Village,
Florida
naked Florida woman arrested in street wearing only
black boots and assaulting senior and deputy.
A Villager has been jailed on $10,000 bond following her
arrest after she was found naked in the street wearing
nothing but a pair of black boots.
A couple had been driving their car down Estrada Place in
the Village of Rio Ponderosa at 6:30 p.m. Saturday when they
encountered 51-year-old Kelly Marie Carpenter standing
naked
in the middle of the street, according to an arrest report
from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office. When their vehicle
approached her, she started beating on it with her fists.
The man driving the car rolled down the window because he
feared she would break it. When the man, who is over the age
of 90, rolled down the window, she struck him in the
shoulder while she was screaming incoherently.
The couple, afraid of what harm she might inflict, drove
around the corner and called law enforcement.
When a deputy arrived, Carpenter was still standing in the
street, surrounded by household items. When the deputy
approached her, Carpenter threw a plastic spray bottle at
the deputy and used vulgar language, the report indicated.
“I’m naked, arrest me,” she said, according to the report.
She then hit the deputy in the waist with a windshield
squegee.
When the deputy handcuffed Carpenter and put her in the back
of a patrol car, she kicked the door, resulting in damage
to the locking mechanism of the door.
She is facing charges of battery on a law enforcement
officer, battery on a person over the age of 65, simple
assault on a person over the age of 65 and indecent
exposure.

Bacon Pancake
By Robin [5,891 Posts, 29 Comments]
I like this just because it's a different kind of pancake
recipe and I love the bacon!
Ingredients:
1/2 - 1 lb. bacon
2 cups milk
1 tsp. salt
4 eggs
1 1/4 cups flour
Directions:
Cut bacon in small pieces and fry in pan. Place bacon pieces
in pan (9x13 inches) and enough of the bacon fat to cover
pan bottom generously. Beat egg; add salt, milk, and flour
alternately. Mix well and pour over bacon. Bake in 400
degree F oven for 30-40 minutes or until set and brown.
Serve at once with butter, strawberry jam, or syrup. Makes 4
generous servings.
Servings:4
Prep Time:15 Minutes
Cooking Time:30-40 Minutes
By Robin from Washington, IA
If you are in a hurry, you can use Costco
or Hormel crumbled bacon and mix it in with the dough.
If you want to cut back on flour, mash in a couple of
bananas instead. Don't forget a bit of baking soda to make
them light and fluffy.
You can do them in 2 x 60 seconds on a griddle or frying
pan.

Frank Moracco,

Frankfort Village,
NY
Frankfort NY mayor arrested for stealing 111 road signs
Apparently, no one saw the signs.
A mayor in upstate New York is facing criminal charges for
allegedly stealing 111 road signs from the state’s Department
of Transportation, according to WKTV.com.
New York State Police arrested Frank Moracco Monday on charges
of misconduct and petit larceny.
Both charges are Class “A” misdemeanors, according to
CNYCentral.com.
Moracco, 60, has served as the mayor of Frankfort Village
since 2004, and has worked as a sign shop foreman for the
state’s Department of Transportation since 2001, Syracuse.com
reports.
Police started investigating Moracco in July of 2015 after
getting a tip from someone in the town, New York State Police
spokesman Jack Keller told The Huffington Post.
They said he took 111 road signs made at the shop and gave
them to the Village of Frankfort Street Department, according
to the Utica Observer-Dispatch.
“There were a variety of signs, including yield and stop
signs,” Keller told HuffPost. “A village usually has to apply
to get signs and then pay a fee. [Moracco] bypassed that
process.”
Moracco was issued an appearance ticket for the charges and is
due in Frankfort Town Court May 3.
It is unknown what has happened to the road signs allegedly
stolen by Moracco. Neither he, the Frankfort Village Street
Department nor the New York State Police have responded to
inquiries from HuffPost.
Frankfort Village clerk Karlee Tamburro told the Observer-
Dispatch that the village has no comment on the situation, but
that Moracco will continue to serve as mayor.

RE: Verizon and AOL mail
Dear Webby
Is it true that Verizon bought AOL because AOL knows how to
deal with people upset about mail not working? Did they buy
all of AOL, or just the mail part?
Eno
Dear Eno
Yes, apparently they did. They want to focus on phones and
the use of phones to get onto the Internet, and are tired
of getting yelled at about email problems.
Initially the switch is just for some regions to test how
well AOL can handle the email for Verizon customers.
There is no need to panic. You can still continue to use
Gmail, set it to POP and then use Eudora, Thunderbird or
even Outlook to take care of your email.

Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob. They loaded
up Jack's station wagon and headed north. After driving for
a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. They
pulled into a nearby farm house and asked the attractive
lady of the house if they could spend the night.
"I'm recently widowed," she explained, "and I'm afraid the
neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house."
"Not to worry," Jack said, "we'll be happy to sleep in the barn."
Nine months later, Jack got a letter from the widow's
attorney. He called up his friend Bob and said,
"Bob, do you remember that good-looking widow at the farm
we stayed at?"
"Yes, I do."
"Did you happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up
to the house and have sex with her?"
"Yes, I have to admit that I did."
"Did you happen to use my name instead of telling her your
name, and leave her one of my business cards ?"
Bob's face turns red and he said, "Yeah, I'm afraid I did."
"Well, thanks! She just died and left me everything!"

Three preachers sat discussing the best positions for prayer,
while a telephone repairman worked nearby. One preacher
claimed, "Kneeling is definitely best."
"No," another contended. "I get the best results standing
with my hands outstretched to Heaven."
"You're both wrong," the third insisted. "The most effective
prayer position is lying prostrate, face down on the floor."
The repairman could contain himself no longer. "Hey,
fellas," he interrupted, "the best prayin' I ever did
was hanging by my climbing spurs upside down from a
telephone pole in a thunder and lightning storm."

A parish priest was being honored at a dinner on the twenty-
fifth anniversary of his arrival in that parish. A leading
local politician, who was a member of the congregation, was
chosen to make the presentation and give a little speech at
the dinner, but he was delayed in traffic, so the priest
decided to say his own few words while they waited.
"You will understand," he said, "the seal of the confessional,
can never be broken. However, I got my first impressions of
the parish from the very first confession I heard here. I can
only hint vaguely about this, but when I came here twenty-five
years ago I thought I had been assigned
to a terrible place.
The very first chap who entered my confessional told me how he
had stolen a television set, and when stopped by the police,
had almost murdered the officer. Further, he told me he had
stolen money from his parents, embezzled money from his place
of business, had an affair with his boss's wife, taken illegal
drugs, and given VD to his cousin.
I was appalled, but as the days went on I came to realize that
my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a
fine parish full of understanding and loving people."
Just as the priest finished his talk, the politician arrived
full of apologies at being late. He immediately began to make
the presentation and give his talk...
"I'll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived in
this parish," said the politician. "In fact, I had the honor
of being the first one to go to him in confession."

Rosaire Francois,

Ellenton,
Florida.
Florida woman busted for battering her beau's
testicles
A woman arrested last night for battering her live-in
boyfriend confessed to cops that she “tried to rip his balls
off” during a confrontation in the couple’s Florida home,
according to a police report.
The victim told investigators that he initially got into a
“verbal altercation” with Rosaire Francois, 28, as they
traveled in a car en route to their apartment in Ellenton.
When the squabbling couple arrived home, the man told police,
he attempted to take a shower. However, the report notes, he
was interrupted by Francois, who “kicked in the bathroom door
and grabbed the victim by his testicles.”
The altercation, police say, “then moved to the kitchen, where
the offender grabbed the victim by the testicles and
scratched
the victim’s face.”
When cops arrived at the home, Francois reportedly made no
bones about her intentions during the domestic scuffle. “I
tried to rip his balls off,” she said, according to police.
Pictured above, Francois was arrested on a misdemeanor
domestic battery charge. She is being held at the Manatee
County jail.
The police report does not indicate whether Francois’s
boyfriend was injured during the testicle attack.

Dear Sharon
For some people mail is important enough to write
to me and inquire what the problem is.
because of the amount of mail I get, I simplify my
chores and if the question on a repetitive topic is the
same, I paste the same reply.
here is the one I use most:
---------------------
Dear
You are still on the list and the Humor Letter DID
go out to you. Unfortunately there is nothing I can
do about the routine AOL malfunctions.
Apparently, to be able to handle all that outgoing spam,
AOL severely restricts incoming mail. Most likely
your Humor Letter got tagged as spam and was
censored. That seems to happen a lot at AOL lately.
If you can't get AOL to stop messing with your mail,
you could try using a Gmail account on the side.
In the meantime, you can always browse to

By the way, that is the only "canned" response that I use.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a radio personality who dispenses
advice to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she
said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an
abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be
condoned under any circumstance. The following is an open
letter to Dr. Laura penned by an east coast resident. It's
funny, AND informative:
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's
Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to
share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When
someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example,
I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it
to
be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from
you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and
how to follow them:
1. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it
creates a pleasing odour for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem
is my neighbours. They claim the odour is not pleasing to
them. Should I smite them?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as
sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you
think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she
is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24.
The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most
women take offense.
4. Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both
male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring
nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to
Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own
Canadians?
5. I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath..
Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I
morally obligated to kill him myself?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is
an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than
homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God
if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear
reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there
some wiggle room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including
the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly
forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead
pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear
gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting
two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by
wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread
(cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme
a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble
of
getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16.
Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family
affair
like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev.
20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am
confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that
God's word is eternal and unchanging.
Your devoted fan, Jim.

In Mike's work for a cable-television company, he often
encounters illegal hookups that drive up costs for other
customers. One day he arrived at a repair job just as the
homeowner was pulling into the driveway. She pointed the
way to the den, where the TV was located, and then walked
out to get the mail.
As Mike approached the TV, he saw a note taped to
the screen.
It read: "Don't forget to hide the descramblers before the
cable guy comes. Love, Tom."

"Your honor," a defense attorney began, "I have a series of
witnesses that can testify that Mr. Johnson was nowhere near
the scene of the crime when it occurred."
The judge looked at the defense table and said,
"This is the third time you've been in this court room this
week, and I'm getting sick of hearing your lies."
The defendant stood up with a confused expression and said,
"Your honor, you must be mistaken. I've never been here in my

Waving his finger, the judge replied,

Florida.
Florida siblings charged with DUI
A 41-woman and her 31-year-old brother were arrested by
Florida Highway Patrol troopers and charged with DUI Friday
morning.
Officials said they received a bulletin to be on the lookout
for a reckless driver traveling southbound on Interstate 75
and a trooper spotted the vehicle and was able to stop it on
State Road 200 east of Southwest 43rd Street Road. While
talking with the driver, later identified as Josue Moncada,
the trooper detected alcohol and arrested him on a DUI
charge at 2:55 a.m.
Minutes later, Moncada's sister, Ercilia Moncada, arrived at
the incident location and argued with the trooper about why
he was arresting her brother.
Another trooper was called to the location and while talking
with her, found her to be impaired. After their
investigation, she was also arrested on a DUI charge at 3:18
a.m. and placed in second trooper's cruiser.
The first trooper left the scene to take Moncada's brother
to the Marion County Jail, leaving the second trooper and
the woman behind. The woman, who was handcuffed, managed to
escape, but was later captured in the 2300 block of
Southeast 19th Circle.

RE: How to open email attachments
Dear Webby,
I am receiving e-mails with attachments and can not open
them. When I click on the attachment the "window" is not
highlighted and nothing happens. What can I do?
Thank you,
Ray
Dear Ray
I realize that as far as email is concerned, because I
use Eudora, I am leading a very sheltered life.
Personally I have not seen that problem yet, but I have
been using email for only about 23 years.
Find out where your attachments are saved to. All the
better email programs let you set that destination. If
yours doesn't, copy the name of the attachment and do a
search for it with "SearchEverything", or if you have a
lot of time, with the Windows Search. Once you have found
that location, you should see the extension, the part of
the file name after the dot.
If it is jpg, gif, or png, it is a picture and usually
quite safe.
If it is mid, mp3, mp4 or wav, it is sound or video and
safe too.
If it is pdf or pps, then it is a PDF file or a
presentation. Those are usually safe too.
If it is DOC or DOCX or XLS or XLSX, then it is from
Microsoft Office and it COULD be safe, or it could be
extremely dangerous. Check those with a good and reliable
virus checker like McAfee.
If the file is .zip, dump it fast.
Once upon a time .zip was used to compress files or to
deliver collections of files over slow internet
connections. Nowadays only scammers use .zip files in
emails. Dump those.
Once you have made sure the attachment file is safe,
hit it in the search or go after it with the file
explorer.
Windows will probably tell you the same as your email
program did, that no program is assigned to work with
that stuff, but it will let you assign a program and give
you some choices.
If you don't see any usable choices, then you will have
to install a suitable program. Just google for
"program to open .xxx" where xxx is the extension of
that attachment file. Just pick a free one from a
reputable source and install it.
During the installation that program will offer to be
your default program for opening xxx and a few other
types of files. Once that has been assigned, try your
email again, and it will open the attachment just like it
is supposed to.
Have FUN!

Walking downtown one day, I noticed that a music store had
just opened. Inside the shop, my attention was caught by a
huge Oriental gong, and I went up to take a closer look.
The gong was four feet in diameter. On a rope next to it
hung a two-foot-long mallet with a top the size of a soft-
ball. A piece of notebook paper bearing one word in large
letters was taped to the center of the gong.
The word was "NO!"
----------------
That reminds me....
During my University days we had two types of students,
"Commuter" and "Party-Town". I was a "Commuter", mainly
because I had a 5PM to 1AM night job across the nearby
border, and only lived 10 miles from the University.
"Party-Towners" were the residents of the dorms, frat and
sorry houses within walking distance of the University.
Since Party-Town was half way between my job and home,
and since my bike was a fast but rather chilly ride, I usually
stopped at a sorry-house to warm up. (Sorry-House is
a sorority house, female version of a frat-house, where
you are always greeted with either: "Sorry it's such a mess."
or with "Sorry, not tonight, I have a headache.")
On one of those warm-up stops a lady I knew from one
of my seminars, invited me up to her room to show me
her "Multilingual Talking Clock". Yes, you guessed it,
it was one of those huge brass gongs. When she grabbed
the mallet, I grabbed a couple of pillows. One for each ear.
In that tiny, stone-walled room the noise was still awesome.
A minute later voices from all over the sorry-house drifted
in, all yelling in various different languages something like:
"Kock it off, you airhead! It's 1:45 in the morning!"
What made it really funny was a few hours later, when
we were woken up, ahem, I mean interrupted in our
dilligent studying, by a similar gong echoing through the
building. Maria twisted my wrist to see my watch, and then
screamed:
"Knock it off you airhead! It's 4:50 in the morning!"

Substituting Tomato Paste for Tomato Sauce
By Dorothy [2 Posts, 9 Comments]
I often make changes like that, primarily because you get a
better-quality product when you do. Try using 1/2 water (or
stock if you have any) and 1/2 tomato paste. Add a little
Italian seasoning, i.e. basil, oregano, garlic, parsley and
a bit of sugar. Start with 1/4 tsp. of each, taste your
concoction and go from there. Most recipes are not so
finicky that they would suffer from such a change, and the
bonus is that there are no unpronounceable ingredients in
your sauce. Good luck!

Dad arrested for .6o4 DUI, kids in the backseat
Lee County Sheriff's deputies arrested Stephen Allbritton
Friday morning. They say he was passed out behind the wheel
of his SUV with his kids in the backseat.
Deputies say he was unresponsive and after they took him to
the hospital, doctors found out just how intoxicated he was.
Allbritton's blood alcohol content was measured at .604 --
more than seven times the legal limit.
Allbritton's B.A.C. was so high he was too drunk to take to
jail. Deputies waited seven hours until the level dropped to
around 0.4, and he was arrested for DUI and child neglect.
Neither Allbritton nor his young kids were hurt. The kids
are with their mother.

"1998 Residents of London voted to elect their own mayor for

And it only took the Muslims 16 years to vote in a Muslim

Hmmm. Why on earth does that sound so UN-democratic??

Until 2016 the non-Muslims still outnumbered the Muslims.
Don't worry, the non-Muslims won't have to leave until 2020.

She wept and covered her face with her apron and after a

Pennsylvania brothers busted for selling heroin
in Burger king play area
Two men are in the Allegheny County Jail after police said
they were caught selling heroin in the play area of a North
Versailles fast food restaurant.
The two men are brothers, and police say one of the men
brought his 6-year-old son along with him.
Otis Pegues, 31, of East Pittsburgh, and Marlan Byars, 28,of
West Mifflin, were arrested on drug, conspiracy and related
charges.
They were arrested, investigators said, in the kids’
playground area of the North Versailles Burger King.
Police say Byars had his 6-year-old son with him at the
time.
According to police, Pegues set up the buy with an
undercover officer. He was allegedly planning to sell 20
bricks of heroin for $4,600.
The drugs and money were recovered.
Holding her young daughter in her arms, one woman reacted to
the arrest saying, “It makes me nervous. I’ve taken my kids
[to the Burger King] before, but I probably won’t be taking
them there again.”
A man in North Versailles said, “It’s real sad, but nothing
happens around here anymore that surprises me.”
The undercover investigation was conducted by North
Versailles and Swissvale Police Departments, working with
the Allegheny County District Attorney’s Narcotics
Enforcement Team.
Police said undercover officers had made previous heroin
buys from Pegues during the past two weeks at both the North
Versailles Walmart and the Kmart stores.
In addition to drug and conspiracy charges, both men face
charges of endangering the welfare of a child.

Cleaning Grease Splatters Off Walls
By Ashersisk [1 Comment]
A quality citris cleaner should work well. Make sure its not
a watered down version. Home improvement centers with have
it. Use it with a soft mildly abrasive cloth or sponge.
Apply to area let sit 10-15 mins and wipe. Repeated
applications may be needed.
If its been there too long you may take the paint off and
that would have to be repaired. Mr. Clean pads don't work
well I tried that already myself.
Whatever you use for cleaning a glass stove
top will also work just as well on walls and inside of range
hood. I use Weimans, but I bet "Barkeepers Friend" will work
too.

Brilliant Beijing Hotel Brochure -
Translated as only they can do.
A friend went to Beijing recently and was given this
brochure by the hotel. It is precious.
She is keeping it and reading it whenever she feels
depressed.
Obviously, it has been translated directly, word for word
from Mandarin to English.
Getting There:
Our representative will make you wait at the airport. The
bus to the hotel runs along the lake shore. Soon you will
feel pleasure in passing water. You will know that you are
getting near the hotel, because you will go round the bend.
The manager will await you in the entrance hall. He always
tries to have intercourse with all new guests.
The Hotel:
The Restaurant:
Our menus have been carefully chosen to be ordinary and
unexciting. At dinner, our quartet will circulate from table
to table, and fiddle with you.
Your Room:
Every room has excellent facilities for your private parts.
In winter, every room is on heat. Each room has a balcony
offering views of outstanding obscenity! ... You will not be
disturbed by traffic noise, since the road between the
hotel and the lake is used only by pederasts.
Bed:
Your bed has been made in accordance with local tradition.
If you have any other ideas please ring for the chambermaid.
Please take advantage of her. She will be very pleased to
squash your shirts, blouses and underwear. If asked, she
will also squeeze your trousers.
Above All:
When you leave us at the end of your holiday, you will have
no hope. You will struggle to forget it.

The CIA lost track of one of its operatives, and so calls in
one of their top spy hunters.
The CIA boss says, "All I can tell you is that his name is
Murphy and that he's somewhere in Ireland. If you think
you've located him, tell him the code words,'The weather
forecast calls for mist in the morning.' If it's
really him, he'll answer, 'Yes, and for mist at noon as
well.'"
So the spy hunter goes to Ireland and stops in the first bar
he sees. He says to the bartender, "Maybe you can help me.
I'm looking for a guy named Murphy."
The bartender replies, "You're going to have to be more
specific because, around here, there are lots of guys named
Murphy. There's Murphy the Baker, who runs the pastry shop
on the next block. There's Murphy the Banker, across the
street. There's Murphy the Plumber next door.
And, as a matter of fact, my name is Murphy, too."
Hearing this, the spy hunter figures he might as well try
the code words on bartender, so he says, "The weather
forecast calls for mist in the morning."
The bartender replies, "Oh, you're looking for Murphy the
Spy. He lives on 24 East Broadmoor in Dublin, on the second
floor. But,.... from what I hear he's vacationing in Hawaii
right now. You'll have to ask Murphy the travel agent to get
the phone number of the hotel he's staying at.

Two Irishmen were adrift in a life boat following a
dramatic escape from a burning freighter. While rummaging
through the boat's provisions, one of the men stumbled
across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a genie would
appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement
of the castaways, a genie came forth. This particular
genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one
wish, not the standard three.
Without giving much thought to the matter the man blurted
out, "Make the entire ocean into beer!" The genie clapped
his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately the
entire sea turned into the finest brew ever sampled by
mortals.
Simultaneously, the genie vanished. Only the gentle lapping
of beer on the hull broke the stillness as the men
considered their circumstances.
One man looked disgustedly at the other whose wish had been
granted. After a long, tension filled moment, he spoke:
"Nice going, you idiot! All that beer, and only such a
small boat for a urinal !"

RE: Copy the screen
Dear Webby,
I would love the answer to this one. When I have trouble
shutting down my computer, I run it through a couple of
programs before going to the start menu. Last night I
opened
Word and hit "Paste", and in popped a picture of my screen
that had been copied earlier in the evening, complete with
shortcut bar on the side! I have no idea how I managed to
execute a copy command that made a copy of my screen.
Can you tell me how to do it again?
Thank you!
Helen
Dear Helen
The PrintScreen key will do exactly that. It "prints" the
entire screen into the clipboard.
If you hold down the ALT key while you hit PrintScreeen,
it copies only the contents of the window that is active.
Have FUN!

Good Morning, ,
Today is Thursday, May 5
Everybody is helping the evacuees from Fort McMurray.
The OilSands operations are still running, but all off-shift
and non-essential workers are cruising the highway with
drinking water tankers and tidy-tanks with fuel, and giving
their bunk houses to needy families.
There are now over a dozen firefighting helicopter tankers
on site and busy saving houses, but the smoke and falling
ash and tinders make movement on the ground not safe yet.
Military is heading up there, but it is not clear yet, what
they will do, since evacuation is pretty well complete.
By Monday they hope the fire will be burned out or under
control, and the human tide will reverse. People will come
back and rebuild.

Lawson Michael Schalm
19,
Mayerthorpe,
Alberta
19 year old charged with arson in connection
to Mayerthorpe CN Rail trestle bridge fire.
Mayerthorpe RCMP have charged a 19-year-old man with 18
counts of arson in relation to a fire that burned the CN
trestle bridge on Tuesday.
Mayerthorpe, about 120 kilometres northwest of Edmonton, saw
as many as 21 suspicious fires over a six day period.
Lawson Michael Schalm, who is from Mayerthorpe, is charged
in connection to many of them. Schalm is the son of former
mayor Albert Schalm.
He was the mayor of Mayerthorpe when four RCMP officers were
killed near the town in 2005.
A Facebook page for Schalm includes photos showing the young
man dressed in a firefighter cadet uniform and bunker gear.
The article says the Mayerthorpe fire department has a
cadets program. Youth can join at the age of 15. When they
turn 17, they are allowed to respond to general fire calls,
it says.
The arson case was high priority within the Mayerthorpe
detachment.
Cpl. Sharon Franks said RCMP were able to find and charge
the man because of "numerous tips" from the public.
"The dry conditions certainly made it concerning for us and
a lot of the officers from Mayerthorpe were certainly
focused on finding the person responsible," said Franks.
The CN bridge fire forced the evacuation of nearby schools
and a trailer park with 38 mobile homes. Some Lac St. Anne
County residents living nearby were also told to be ready to
leave on one-hour notice.
Mayerthorpe fire chief Randy Schroeder said last week almost
three dozen firefighters from four different fire
departments in the area were called to help douse the
flames, alongside agriculture and forestry services members,
helicopters and a water bomber.
The loss of the bridge will impact the lumber and oil
industries "extensively" Schroeder said.
Schalm will remain in custody until he makes his first court
appearance on May 4th at Stony Plain Provincial Court.

I have one problem that maybe you can help with. I put a

Is there a way to access old homor letters or photos??

I upload a fresh Humor Letter every night and overwrite
the previous one. Most people just read it on-line at
http://webby.com/humor,
because they are not supposed to get personal mail at work.
Only a very small percentage (about 24000 people for the
HTML version) get it in actual email.
Because the pictures have a different name every day,
they are not overwritten and I usually leave them up on
the server for for a year, but take them down if people
link to them.
The picture that you are referring to is "Storm Brewing".
Unfortunately I don't know the name of the artist who
created it.
I had to take that picture down but for now have uploaded
three versions of the picture onto the server again:
http://webby.com/humor/StormBrewing-450x338.jpg
That is the size you see above, small enough to
paste into emails. However, don't link to it ! Just save it
to your computer and insert or embed or attach it. If
the AOLers and WebTVers find it and a Million of them
link it into their email signatures again, I'll take it down
again.
http://webby.com/humor/StormBrewing600x450.jpg
is a bit bigger. That one is 43.5 KB but still loads fairly
fast.
http://webby.com/humor/StormBrewing-5x375-1500x1000.jpg
That picture is 1500 x 1000 pixels at 300 dots per inch
and sized for printing a 5" x 3.75" or larger photo.
With good quality photo print paper you can get it to
look quite decent even at 10" x 8" and frame it in a
14" x 12" frame.
Naturally at that size and printer resolution that picture
will take a while to load even with a fast DSL connection.
Those comments about not linking apply not just to the
pictures I upload for you. No webmaster can afford the
file transfer bills if a lot of people link to their
pictures.
Some just take the pictures down when that happens,
but many replace them with really nasty pictures that
will embarrass the abuser.
If you want the picture, best to download it today or
tomorrow, because most likely I will have to take it
down again in a few days.
Have FUN!

"Well," the pastor persisted, "You know how to deal

Growing Tomato Slices
By ShirleyE [74 Posts, 54 Comments]
I don't mean you can get ready sliced tomatoes off a plant
:0) that would be silly. However, rather than pay for an
expensive pack of seeds, or go to the trouble of picking
seeds out of a tomato and drying them, you can actually
plant slices of tomatoes. It's so easy to do. Simply lay
them out, cover with compost and keep them watered.

A herd of buffalo can move only as fast as the slowest
buffalo. When the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and
weakest ones at the back that are killed first.
This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole,
because the general speed and health of the whole group
keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest
members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate
as fast as the slowest brain cells.
Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells,
but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain
cells
first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates
the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more
efficient machine.

Two nuns who worked in a hospital were out driving in the
country when they ran out of gas. As they were standing
beside their car on the shoulder of the road, a truck
approached them.
Noticing the nuns in distress, the trucker stopped and
offered to help. When the nuns explained they had run out
of gas, the trucker said he would be more than happy to
drain some from his tank, but he didn't have a bucket or a
can.
Hearing this, one of the nuns dug out a clean bedpan from
the trunk and asked the trucker if it would do. He said it
would and proceeded to drain a couple of quarts into the
pan. He then handed the pan to the sisters, got back into
his truck and waved goodbye.
While the nuns were carefully pouring the precious fuel
into their gas tank, a cop happened by. He stopped and
watched them for a few moments, then said, "Sisters,
somehow I don't think that's going to work, but if it does,
I am going to become a Catholic!"

Uses for Styrofoam Meat Trays
I found another use for styrofoam meat trays! I needed a
nice surface to put a hot pizza on that wouldn't heat up
the counter top.
These are invaluable for all kinds of things, but a hot
pad was the one I thought was the most useful at the
time. They are also great for under planters, draining
bacon and sausage on with a paper towel or two, spoon and
utensil rests when making multiple meals, and so much
more.

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Sweet Potato Fries
This is the easiest way I've found to make sweet potato
(or any other type of) fries.
Ingredients:
sweet potato (1 or enough to serve your family/guests)
Italian dressing (I use bottled "house" Italian)
pepper (to taste)
paprika (to taste)
The Italian dressing takes care of most of the
seasonings, and I do not need to add any more salt.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a jelly roll pan with
aluminum foil for easy clean up.
Wash sweet potato and cut into quarter inch fries (I
leave the skin on). Drizzle Italian dressing lightly over
fries. The amount you use will depend on the number of
potatoes you are serving. Sprinkle with seasonings (to
taste). Toss lightly with your fingers to coat all the
potatoes, then spread flat in one layer the cookie sheet.
Bake for 20-30 minutes to desired crispness. Serve with
Ranch dressing as a dip.
Source: I saw something similar for regular potatoes in a
magazine several years ago. Finally tried it with the
sweet potato fries. Yum!

The bathroom scale manufacturer was very proud of the new

these features: it's calibrated to one-one-hundredth of a
pound; it can measure your height as well, in feet or

simulator; and that's not all..."
"Very impressive," interrupted a none-too-slender sales
rep for a chain of home furnishings stores, "but before I
place an order I'll have to try it out."
"Be my guest," said the manufacturer graciously.
No sooner had the sales rep taken his place on the scale
than a loud, very human-sounding voice issued forth: "One

He didn't place an order.

Swampy Marsh, the young Australian father-to-be, is
waiting anxiously outside the maternity ward where his
wife is having their first baby. He is pacing the floor
when the nurse comes out and says, "You have a little
boy, Mr. Marsh, but you had better go out and have a cup
of coffee, because there may be another one."
Swampy turns a little pale and leaves. Some time later he
phones the hospital and is told that he the father of
twins, but the nurse cautions, "There is another
one on the way, so call back later."
At that Swampy decides that coffee is not strong enough,
so he goes to a bar and has some beer. When he phones
the hospital again he is told that the third baby has
arrived and a fourth is on the way.
White-faced, he stumbles to the bar and orders a double
scotch.
Twenty minutes later, he tries to phone again, but he is
so drunk that he dials the wrong number and gets the

Arkansas elementary school teacher arrested
for giving alcohol to minors
A Sherwood elementary school teacher accused of giving
alcohol to more than 30 minors at an after-prom party has
been suspended, a district spokesman said Monday.
Marcie Duncan, 48, who works at William Jefferson Clinton
Elementary School, is suspended pending an internal
investigation in accordance with district policy, Deb
Roush of the Pulaski County Special School District said.
Duncan teaches fourth grade and has worked at the school
for eight years, according to the school's website.
Duncan was arrested Sunday and charged with 33 counts of
contributing to the delinquency of a minor, 33 counts of
furnishing alcohol to a minor, two counts of third-degree
endangering the welfare of a minor and violation of the
Arkansas Social Host Law, according to information
provided by the Lonoke County jail.
Deputies arrested Duncan after they responded around 4
a.m. to a party on her family's property near West
Lewisburg Road, Lonoke County Sheriff John Staley said.
They found several empty alcohol containers as well as a
full-sized keg.
Duncan, who appeared intoxicated while talking to police,
said she had "everything under control" and didn't see a
problem because she had been there the entire night
making sure everyone was OK, according to a news release
from the sheriff's office.
Staley said that several intoxicated students between the
ages of 15 and 18 were passed out throughout the
premises. Others tried to hide in the nearby woods or
escape in their cars, he said.
Deputies called students' parents as well as an ambulance
for those who were extremely intoxicated, Staley said.
None was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Duncan was released from the Lonoke County jail Sunday on
a $21,000 bond, the sheriff said Monday.
4th grade, 15 - 18 years old and driving their own pick-
ups? Must be Arkansas

Communism: You have two cows. The government takes them

Fascism: You have two cows. The government takes them and

milk, and then pours it down the drain.
Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a
bull.
Corporate: You have two cows. You sell one, force the
other to produce the milk of four cows and then act
surprised when it drops dead.
Democratic: You have two cows. The government taxes you
to the point that you must sell them both in order to
support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow
which was a gift from your government.
Conservative: You have two cows. You hide one in the back
yard and sell the milk from it to neighbors for cash to
raise the money to pay for the tax on the front yard cow.
California: You have two cows and paint minority rights
slogans onto them. The government gives you two more

Des Moines,
Iowa
Man arrives at job interview for a taxi
company drunk and hits 2 cars in the parking lot before
going inside for his interview. Ryan William Dickson, is
arrested for drunk driving in Des Moines, Iowa.
A Des Moines man was arrested Monday after he allegedly
drove himself drunk to an interview with a taxi cab
company, hitting parked cars in the lot.
Ryan William Dickson, 39, arrived for his interview with
Trans Iowa, a taxicab and shuttle company on Army Post
Road, at 9:25 a.m., but had a little trouble parking.
That’s likely because he blew a .273 on a preliminary
breath test, which is three-times the legal limit to
drive, according to a police report.
A woman on her smoke break saw Dickson trying to
maneuver into a parking space, but hit an adjacent car
while he was backing up, the report states.
Dickson straightened out and pulled into the space, but
he crashed into the car in front of him.
At first, Dickson told police he hadn’t been drinking,
but admitted it later.
He said he’d stopped drinking around 2 that morning and
went to the hospital for his alcohol consumption. The
hospital released him at about 8 a.m., Dickson said, but
he drank another fifth of vodka afterward, the report
states.
When police asked him to complete a walk and turn test
at the scene, Dickson began to fall and had to be caught
by officers. He said he couldn’t complete the rest of
the field sobriety test.
He was arrested for operating while intoxicated and
booked into the Polk County Jail, but was released later
that day.

RE: Copy just portions of text
Dear Webby
Now for the real question. There are times when I want to
save just one or two of the jokes but I can't seem to do
it.
What is the right way to do this?
Marge
Dear Marge
Line up the joke that you want to copy so that all of it
shows
on the screen. Click at the begin of it, hold down the
SHIFT key, and without letting go of it, click the mouse
at
the end of the joke.
Now it is highlighted.
Hit CTRL and C simultaneously to copy it.
Jump to where you want to paste it,
click at the spot where you want it,
and hit CTRL V to paste it.
Have FUN!

A man comes home late one night, drunk.
"Where have you been?" asks his wife.
"In the Golden Bar! They have golden chairs, golden
glasses, golden beer, and even a golden urinal!"
This sounds awfully suspicious to the wife. She calls the
Golden Bar.
"Do you have golden chairs?"
"Yes."
"Do you have golden glasses?"
"Yes."
"Do you have golden beer?"
"Yes."
"Do you have a golden urinal?"
"Hold on."
On the other end, she hears "Hey Bob! I think we
have a line on the guy who messed up your tuba!"

Kentucky Style Fried Chicken
Found this at "The Cooking Nook".
Ingredients
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
2 - 3 eggs, beaten
3 - 4 Tbsp. oil for frying
Coating Mixture:
2 cups flour
4 tsp. paprika
2 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 - 1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. tarragon
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 t. onion salt
1/2 tsp. celery salt
Directions
Mix together all the coating ingredients and place in a
clean plastic bag. Dip each piece into beaten egg, then
into the flour mixture in the bag. Coat the chicken
completely with the flour mixture.
Place the oil in a skillet and heat. Brown the chicken in
oil slowly (225 degrees F, if you are using an electric
skillet), uncovered. Cover the skillet and continue to
fry at a very low heat until the chicken is fully cooked,
approximately 1 hour.
Drain well on paper towels.
Tips and Variations:
This recipe can be prepared using a deep fryer and is
actually perfect for the fryer. Follow the directions on
your fryer. Make sure your oil is hot before adding the
chicken. The chicken shouldn't be greasy when it is
cooked in hot oil, but if the oil is cool, it will absorb
the grease.

When I was working as a clerk at a sporting-goods store,
a woman came up to my register with a package of white
athletic socks. "Will you open this up so I can see how
the socks feel?" she asked.
Reluctantly I tore open the package, and she scrutinized
the merchandise. She handed me the package, saying,
"I like them."
Relieved, I started to ring her up, until she
interrupted me.
"Can I have another pack? This one's been opened."

Bob was having a little trouble with a leg so he
went to the doctor.
"You have a touch of gout," the doctor said.
"I recommend that you give up smoking, drinking
and sex for a while."
"What?" said the man. "Just so I can walk a little better?
Forget it !"

room service and ordered some soda crackers. When
she looked at the charge slip, she was instantly furious.
Sue calledroom service and raged, "I know I'm in a luxury
hotel,but $11.50 for six crackers is ridiculous!"
