You’re the security chief at a manufacturing company that makes small metal hand tools. The plant employs roughly one hundred people. Management has told you that many tools have disappeared. According to company records, the plant produces approximately fifty thousand per day, but far fewer are actually being shipped out. After doubled checking the figures to ensure their accuracy, you have concluded that pilferage is the only possible explanation. A metal detector positioned at the employee exit near the time clock would catch anyone trying to smuggle tools out of the factory. Because the purchase cost of a metal detector is prohibitive, you have decided to rent one. Anyone caught stealing will immediately be fired and a note to that effect will become part of the individual’s personnel file. You don’t want to create an atmosphere of hostility, but you do need to inform the employees about these developments. Write a memo to be posted on the main bulletin board and send e-mail as well.

" … Fire Authorities in California found a corpse
in a burnt out section of forest whilst
assessing the damage done by a forest fire.
The deceased male was dressed in a full
wetsuit, complete with a dive tank, flippers
and face mask.

A post-mortem examination revealed that the
person died not from burns, but from massive
internal injuries. Dental records provided a
positive identification. Investigators then set
about determining how a fully clad diver ended
up in the middle of a forest fire.

It was revealed that, on the day of the fire, the
person went for a diving trip off the coast —
some 20 MILES away from the forest.

The firefighters, seeking to control the fire as
quickly as possible, called in an air rescue fleet
with large water tanks and drop buckets. The fleet
of aircraft were skimming the ocean for rapid filling,
then flown to the forest fire to extinquish the flames
with their payload.

The investigation determined that this unfortunate
diver was completely unaware of his fate until he
found himself doing a breaststroke in a fire bucket
300m in the air.

The diver { after notification of next of kin }
was given a hero’s funeral by the firefighters
that had found him for his part in putting
out the fire … "

True or False

FALSE…

This is an "urban legend"
that has been around for awhile…

The reason for this story to
get it’s start is due to the
fact of "not knowing" about
certain jobs and how they
go about their work…
truth is that the method and
the equipment used by aircraft
for firefighting has guards to
prevent ANYTHING from being
"sucked up"
beyond water…

I have a local network in my home that is controlled by a Linksys WRT54G. It is, in fact, working just fine—the local network works fine and the wireless part of it works just fine.

The problem is, that the control interface for this box is supposed to go though a web browser. This too used to work just fine, until recently it just stopped working. So, I figured, there’s been some security update, either to my McAfee Security software or to Internet Explorer. So I tried:

1) Putting in the IP numbers of my local network as "trusted" in McAfee SecurityCenter.
2) Firefox—also doesn’t work with Firefox
3) Unplugged my modem from the net, turned off the McAfee firewall—still doesn’t work.

Another thing that failed at the same time is the web-based control to my RAID system. It used to be accessable through Internet Explorer on http://localhost:1080, but now this too does not work. Again, the RAID system is working just fine, but I can’t access the web-based control.

At age 64 I find that my present name was not on my birth certificate. I have 2 marriages, 2 children, everything that I have ever done in my present name.Under this name I cannot
get a state identification even though I have a Dept.of Corrections photo ID. I am told that my name had to be corrected by my 18th birthday.Both of my parents are deceased
for several years. Both names is on the certificate that was
meant for me.I don’t have any proof of the original name either.I have paid taxes, Social Security and spent the 64 years under my present name.If the year the law was inacted came after 1958 or ‘59 there is no way to have it corrected
nor verified other than fingerprints and recognition by the DOC.What can I do? I have already put out several dollars just for the applications to get a name change from one to another and have no proof of either name. The date on the certificate is October 1941.

I don’t have a picture, but I’ll describe it as best I can. They’re little black spiders I’ve been finding in my house every once in a while. They are completely black, slightly smaller than the width of a dime face and don’t appear "hairy" at all. Their front legs (which are slightly longer than the rest of their legs) look claw-like, but are short, not long and curved like a crab spider. They almost remind me of a jumping spider except they crawl flat, not on their legs and their bodies are longer than they are wide – like a jumping spider that’s been stretched long ways. Even though they remind me of a jumping spider, I’ve never seen one jump before but I have blown on one that was on my ceiling and when it fell, it was attached to a line of web. I’ve searched around the internet for identification of them or at least a photo, but I haven’t had any luck. Hopefully someone can help.
daniel g, unfortunately, no, that’s not the right spider. The front "claws" are MUCH shorter. The front claws probably aren’t even double the size of their legs (which are pretty short themselves), and are one-segmented (if that’s even a word). I haven’t seen one super close, but I believe the only bend in the claw-arm is between the arm itself and the spider’s body. Also, the body’s segments – if there are more than one – are pretty proportionate to one another, from front to end.
haysoos2, it’s not that one either. The legs are much short and more compact – shorter than the spider’s body – which is solid black (at least, every one I’ve seen has been).
The spider is really small, its legs are short – shorter than its body, the "claws" look similar to the end of the claws of a scorpion and I’m almost sure the long, proportionate, solid black body is in 2 sections. Also, I live in Virginia if that helps at all.
