 Mom Calls Police On 14-Year-Old Son After Catching Him In Sex Crime 
 When the mother of Solomon Pule briefly left the room where he and his 8-year-old cousin were playing to put her 2-year-old son down for a nap, she returned to a horrific sight. The Maryland mother noted that both children were being far too quiet, but she never imagined that it would be for such a terrible reason. She returned to the room to find both children partially undressed and Solomon on top of his young cousin, raping her. The mother also observed a pair of scissors on the love seat next to them. According to CBS Baltimore, The mother told police she was upstairs putting her 2-year-old down for a nap and told her son and 8-year-old niece to clean up the living room. She noticed it was too quiet and went back downstairs to check on them. She found them on the love seat: Pule with his pants down and her niece with her skirt up. A pair of scissors next to them. In a police interview, the 8-year-old girl stated that her cousin had threatened to cut her with the scissors if she made any noise. She also confirmed that he shoved his thing inside her. Solomon told me if I scream to tell you he was going to cut me, the girl tried to explain, as it reads in a statement of probable cause. He shoved his thing in me, she added. Solomons mother reported the case to Baltimore City Police, who arrested Solomon for rape. During an interrogation, the boy admitted to raping his cousin. He was transported to the Baltimore City Detention Center and charged with first- and second-degree rape. Officials have confirmed that he will be charged as an adult, which means that he could be spending the rest of his life in prison.Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember. Which makes sense. At 14 he KNEW that rape was against the law.  
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Hanna RE: Slow Edge   Dear Webby, You mentioned that the EDGE browser was OK. So I installed it on my W10 machine.. It works, but is godawful slow on the sites I go to, like for example theweathernetwork.com I still got Chrome on the old W7 machine in the basement. I can waddle down to the basement, start up the old W7 klunker, go to the weather network and check the weather forecast for the next 7 days, come back upstairs, and EDGE still has not finished loading. Does EDGE not like theweathernetwork.com or does the weather site not like edge? What do you suggest? Hanna  Dear Hanna I tried to do the same and go to theweathernetwork.com with EDGE on my W10 (formerly a W7 machine, but STAPLES stole my W7 and polluted it with W10) I got the same results as you did. Next I checked my connection speed with Ookla http://speedtest.net That showed 26 Mbps, down a bit from the 30 Mbps, That I am paying for, but that is not unusual for Telus, and not worth calling them. Next I opened Chrome, and went to theweathernetwork.com It was stuck on some cutesy video, so I scrolled up to the 7 day forecast. No problem at all. It seems that EDGE may have a problem with frequently or continuously updating sites and is waiting for ads on cache files. Just remember on which sites it stalls, and use Chrome or FireFox on those.

 A man dies and finds himself standing third in line at the Pearly Gates. The Angel explains that admission requirements are now a bit more strict, as a few slum landlords and con artists have managed to slip into Heaven without being detected. He queries the first candidate: "What was your annual salary, and what was your profession? "I made $250,000 as an Attorney" comes the reply. "You go downstairs." says the Angel. Second candidate, same question. "I made $195,000, I was a realtor." He is also dumped downstairs. Now it is the third man's turn. "My annual salary was $275." "Cool!" replies the Angel, "and which newsletter did you publish?" _____________________________________________ Tech support people like me spend our days on the phone with customers.

I'd love to drive a big rig," I said, "but I'd worry about falling asleep at the wheel." "Here's a tip to stay awake," he offered. "Put a $100 bill in your left hand and hold it out the window." --------------- I have used that trick for staying awake driving home after 12 hour shifts at the mine. Never lost a $100 bill. Usually the cold wind woke me right up in a minute or two. ____________________________________________ John and Lance driving along the highway looking for a place to stop and picnic.
