A: Answering the electric stapler. __________________________________________________ Reported by Rock: An International Bonehead Award has been earned by Joshua Lelevier, 37, Tucson, Arizona, USA Man accused of killing stepdaughter may have photographed her through peep holes etectives found a photo they believe is of 13-year-old Jayden Glomb in her bathroom wearing a sports bra, apparently taken secretly by her stepfather who is now accused of killing her, court documents say. Property seized so far in the investigation includes an endoscope camera, spy camera, thumb drives, clothing and photographs, according to a search warrant. The Tucson Police Departments crime laboratory has begun to analyze the contents of a home computer that was used by Joshua Lelevier, 37, who was arrested May 31 in Jaydens suffocation death. The teens body was found May 11 along a road in a desert area in Vail, not far from her home, after she was reported missing. She was an Old Vail Middle School seventh-grader. Lelevier, who did not work but previously held a job as a technician at the Florida Air National Guard, faces charges of first-degree murder and abandoning or concealing a body. He is being held at the Pima County jail on a $500,000 bond. etectives found a photo they believe is of 13-year-old Jayden Glomb in her bathroom wearing a sports bra, apparently taken secretly by her stepfather who is now accused of killing her, court documents say.

The Tucson Police Departments crime laboratory has begun to analyze the contents of a home computer that was used by Joshua Lelevier, 37, who was arrested May 31 in Jaydens suffocation death. The teens body was found May 11 along a road in a desert area in Vail, not far from her home, after she was reported missing. She was an Old Vail Middle School seventh-grader. Lelevier, who did not work but previously held a job as a technician at the Florida Air National Guard, faces charges of first-degree murder and abandoning or concealing a body. He is being held at the Pima County jail on a $500,000 bond. The image of what homicide detectives believe is Jayden was taken at an angle from the ceiling area in the bathroom. Investigators also located what appeared to be two possible peep holes in the wall between the den and the bathroom. Lelevier kept the computer in the den, which shared a wall with the bathroom, the court documents state. Found were one hole in the drywall in the den leading to a hole in the bathroom above the light switch, and the other hole was in the drywall in the den leading to a hole in the bottom portion of the bathroom wall, the records say. Investigators also found two places in the ceiling of the bathroom where a video camera could be hidden that correspond to the angle of the photo, namely a fan vent and an air conditioning vent, the documents state. Since this additional information was found after a search warrant was served on June 16, investigators have expanded their investigation to possibly include the crimes of surreptitious photographing, videotaping, filming or digitally recording or viewing, and sexual exploitation of a minor, say court records. Investigators asked the court to authorize them to view images, video and audio recordings and listen to audio files and all mass media storage devices held as evidence by the Police Department and being analyzed by the crime lab. Detectives also requested to view pornographic materials to include nude images, and/or video of adults or juveniles dressing or undressing, showering, bathing or occupying the restroom as part of the ongoing investigation. Detectives also asked the court for permission to break codes or methods of encryption used to conceal items on the electronic systems confiscated. Since Leleviers arrest, Jaydens mother, Jessica Lelevier, has filed for divorce from him. Jessica Lelevier, who is employed by the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base branch of the 943rd Rescue Group, also moved out of the Vail house where she lived with Joshua Lelevier. In addition to Jayden, three younger children were part of the family. According to court documents, Jessica Lelevier boxed up all of Joshuas belongings and investigators asked that they be allowed to search through his property stored at her new residence. Investigators were looking for spy cameras, recorders and equipment, memory devices and flash drives that previously had not been located. ___________________________________________________ Lighthouse of Andros Island in Tourlitis, Greece. ___________________________________________________ A woman arrived at the Gates of Heaven. While she was waiting for Saint Peter to greet her, she peeked through the gates. She saw a beautiful banquet table. Sitting all around were her parents and all the other people she had loved and who had died before her. They saw her and began calling greetings to her "Hello - How are you! We've been waiting for you! Good to see you." When Saint Peter came by, the woman said to him, "This is such a wonderful place! How do I get in?" "You have to spell a word," Saint Peter told her. "Which word?" the woman asked. "Love." The woman correctly spelled "Love" and Saint Peter welcomed her into Heaven. About a year later, Saint Peter came to the woman and asked her to watch the Gates of Heaven for him that day. While the woman was guarding the Gates of Heaven, her husband arrived. "I'm surprised to see you," the woman said. "How have you been?" "Oh, I've been doing pretty well since you died," her husband told her. "I married the beautiful young nurse who took care of you while you were ill. And then I won the multi-state lottery. I sold the little house you and I lived in and bought a huge mansion. And, my wife and I traveled all around the world. We were on vacation in Cancun and I went water skiing today. I fell and hit my head, and here I am. What a bummer! How do I get in?" "You have to spell a word," the woman told him. "Which word?" her husband asked. "Czechoslovakia." Moral of the story: Never make a woman angry ... there'll be Hell to pay later. ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ >From Myrna If it weren't for the fact that the TV set and the refrigerator are so far apart, some of us wouldn't get any exercise at all. ____________________________________________________ I'm a counsellor who helps coordinate support groups for visually-impaired adults. Many participants have a condition known as macular degeneration, which makes it difficult for them to distinguish facial features. I had just been assigned to a new group and was introducing myself. Knowing that many in the group would not be able to see me well, I jokingly said, "For those of you who can't see me, I've been told that I look like a cross between Paul Newman and Robert Redford." Immediately, one woman called out, "We're not THAT blind!" ================================================= DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From:Fran Re: Mice Dear Webby, my problem is mice. Not one mouse. MICE. I'm supposed to be a receptionist, but everybody here figures I have nothing better to do than clean and/or fix their mice. Especially in the warehouse the mice don't seem to last more than a couple of weeks and next time a 10 mouse day coincides with full moon and a bad hair day, somebody around here will be wearing a mouse. I know you work long hours and have for many years. What type of mouse do you recommend and how long do those last? Thanks, Fran Dear Fran My recommendation is the wireless Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer. Just like the version with the cable, the wireless version lasts one year plus one week. (+/- a day or two). They don't need a mouse pad and work just fine on anything except a mirror, because instead of a ball they use a laser. They also have a couple of thumb buttons that can be used for copy and paste. That speeds things up considerably and is quite addictive. The Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer is shaped for smaller hands and is initially a bit awkward for somebody with big hands like me, but I rather have a reliable and efficient mouse than a comfortable one. I have been quite happy with them since 1998 or 1997 and have them on every machine here at Webby. Logitech makes a similar laser mouse, that works very well on W7 machines, but is sabotaged by W10. It instantly works the way it is supposed to when moved to a W7 machine. On W10, if you use the Copy /Paste buttons, then use a Microsoft mouse.
