 ___________________________________________________  An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Samantha Mears, 20, Great Falls, Montana  Woman Gets 20 Years For Sex At Machete-Point  A Montana woman who forced her ex-boyfriend to have sex at machete-point has been sentenced to 20 years in state custody, court records show. A District Court judge Tuesday sentenced Samantha Mears, 20, in connection with her arrest last year for breaking into the victim's Great Falls home and sexually assaulting him. Pictured at right, Mears was committed to the custody of Montana's Department of Public Health and Human Services for placement in a mental health facility. Her 20-year sentence was the maximum penalty allowed for the sex attack. Mears's case was placed on hold shortly after her June 2018 arrest when doctors hired by prosecutors and defense counsel concurred that she was, at the time, not fit for trial. Following treatment at the Montana State Hospital, Mears was judged stable enough for her case to proceed, though a sentencing order notes that she "suffers from a mental disease or defect." In addition to the custodial sentence, Mears was designated a Tier II sex offender and will have to undergo counseling and treatment. Mears was sentenced for sexual intercourse without consent, a felony. According to police and court records, Mears entered the victim's home while he was out running an errand. Upon the man's return, Mears emerged from behind a bedroom door and came up behind him and placed a machete under his throat. She then directed her ex to get on the bed and remove his clothes. After taking off her pants, Mears climbed atop the victim and initiated sexual contact. The man told cops that Mears--who was holding the machete--bit him on the arm and continued to have sex with him after he attempted to end the encounter. The man added that, after ejaculating, he sought to "push Mears off of him to end the intercourse, but she continued to have sex with him until he was no longer erect. The man eventually fled the residence and called 911. During questioning, Mears claimed to have had consensual intercourse with the victim, a cop noted, but she was not making much sense and would often ramble on in her answers with information that did not even pertain to my questions. Two months before the sex assault, Mears was arrested for allegedly strangling her boyfriend. As a condition of her release from custody, Mears was ordered to have no contact with the victim and was prohibited from possessing any weapons. 
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Altona Re: Chrome bunged up  Dear Webby, I know you mentioned it before, but I forgot how to clear Chrome, when it is all bunged up and the computer stopped responding. Please help! Altona  Dear Altona CTRL SHIFT ESC That brings up the Task Manager. At the top, sort it by PROCESSES Then, in the 4th column, sort it with the largest on top. Highlight the worst offender and hit END PROCESS at the right bottom. Depending on how badly bunged up Windows is, after a while you will get a PopUp asking if you really want to end that process. Yep. Then do the same with any process, that is over 200,xxx K Occasionally that turns off Chrome. No panic. Just go get a coffee. When you come back, you won't see Chrome in the Task Manager anymore. Good! Now you can restart Chrome. Careful that you hit it only once! It takes a while to start up because it is rather klutzy. When it does, a little PopUp at the right top will ask you if you want to resume. Accept that, and all your previously open tabs will be there. Have FUN! DearWebby

Later that day, walking in the park, mother and son saw a pregnant woman sitting on a bench. The four-year-old considered her gravely for a minute, then spoke to her saying, "Uh-oh ...
