Thanks for your votes! ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Steven Thomas Walters, 37, Valley Center, Kansas Kansas man arrested at elementary school after manhunt for child rape suspect A police manhunt for a child rape suspect ended with a man arrested at a Valley Center elementary school early Saturday morning. Steven Thomas Walters, 37, of Valley Center, was arrested on suspicion of child rape and indecent liberties with a child, Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office records show. Walters was booked into jail at around 4:18 a.m. Saturday after being arrested at West Elementary School, 501 N. Sheridan. As of Sunday afternoon, Walters remained in the Sedgwick County Jail in lieu of a $500,000 bond. Sheriff's office reports show the rape of a victim younger than 14 was reported at around 11:30 a.m. Friday. The Ark Valley News reported that Valley Center police initiated a manhunt after a crime was reported at around 11:30 a.m. Friday at a home in the 4200 block of West 89th Street North. The hours- long search centered on a neighboring cornfield and involved police dogs, a drone and a Kansas Highway Patrol aircraft. Walters lives in that same block, according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation violent offender registry. Kansas Department of Corrections records show Walters was previously convicted in Sedgwick County of aggravated battery and criminal threat. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Randy Re: copy large folders across a network Dear Webby I need to copy some large folders from my old computer to my new one. I got them networked OK, and I can drag files and small folders across, but with large program and data folders I have a problem. Whenever Windows encounters any problem, Billy gets in a snit, takes his marbles and goes home to Mama. When I redo the copy, it stalls and gives up at the same spot. I got W10 on both machines. Why is that so, and how do I get around that? Randy Dear Randy If you ever read the small print in what you agreed to when you bought Windows, or a windows machin, you saw that they want you to be aware that Windows is not a fail-safe system and that it does not recover from errors gracefully. To get around that problem, you have to revert to good old DOS. START, RUN, cmd But first, view the drive or partition on the new machine with the file explorer on the old machine, and assign a network drive letter to the C: drive on the new machine. For example Z: Then go to the DOS command prompt and type: net use Z: and hit ENTER. That will establish the DOS network connection. You can verify that it worked by typing: dir Z:\ It will show you the list of files in the root directory of the new machine. Ugly, but that's how we did it in the stone age. If the white text on black bothers your eyes, type color 9e and hit Enter. Feel free to experiment with different number and letter combinations. Let's say the directory that you want to copy is E:\Alpha\Eudora and the destination is Z:\Alpha\Eudora So you type: xcopy /E /D /H /R /K /Y E:\Alpha\Eudora\*.* z:\Alpha\Eudora and hit Enter. You will see a list of files scoot by, until there is a snag. Instead of giving up, it stops and tells you that it can't copy a certain file. Most likely it is a file that got messed when you had tried to drag with Windows. So, simply go to the destination machine and delete that file. You can use the file explorer for that. Back to the source machine. Hit the UP arrow to repeat the command. Because of the /D switch, xcopy won't waste time with stuff that is not newer on the source machine than the target machine. You may hit more snags, and can deal with them the same way. Eventually all of that directory and all it's subdirectories will have been copied over at lightning speed. And yes, it is indeed a good idea to write that command and all the switches onto the monitor frame, because you will want to use it again: xcopy /E /D /H /R /K /Y source/*.* destination Have FUN!

The shutters on the house did creak And I covered up my head Do you think I would be safer If I crawled beneath the bed? And then the nightmare did begin As I heard a scary sound One step...two steps..on the stairs My eyes were huge and round! Three steps...four steps...closer now I shivered and I shook The only weapon close to me Was just a scary book! I braced myself for what might be My blankets I held tight I whispered Lord, help me now And I prayed with all my might. Five steps...six steps...closer now The thing approached my door I could not stand it any longer And from my bed I tore! And then a voice I thought I knew Whispered in the gloom "I'm home now Mom, go back to sleep, I'm going to my room!" ___________________________________________________ Today, July 9 in 0118 Hadrian, Rome's new emperor, made his entry into the city. 0455 Avitus, the Roman military commander in Gaul, became Emperor of the West. 1540 England's King Henry VIII had his 6-month-old marriage to his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, annulled. 1609 In a letter to the crown, the emperor Rudolf II granted Bohemia freedom of worship. 1755 General Edward Braddock was mortally wounded when French and Indian troops ambushed his force of British regulars and colonial militia.
