New Marijuana Laws: Just a Smokescreen
Before Washington state voters legalized marijuana in the 2012 election, pot was easy enough to access on the black market. Five percent of state residents have used the drug in one form or another while burning through a remarkable 187,000 pounds per year, according to estimates by Washington's Office of Financial Management. Getting high without getting arrested wasn't much of a problem, either. Washington decriminalized medical marijuana 15 years ago, and today dozens of dispensaries are operating under protection of state law. In addition, Washington's biggest city, Seattle, had instructed its police force to treat personal possession of marijuana as the lowest law-enforcement priority.
So what's the big deal about legalization in this already weed-friendly state? The new law doesn't end the legal battle over marijuana so much as it changes the rules of engagement: Growers and dealers can look forward to a bona fide business license at the end of the year, but to get it they may need to undergo an FBI criminal background check, opening up the risk of arrest under federal law. And while users can say goodbye to petty drug busts, they'll continue to face dubious charges of driving under the influence of drugs.
Participating in Washington's legal marijuana market is going to take a leap of faith. Even now, police and prosecutors have the tools to keep treating people who buy and sell marijuana as criminals. The question is, will they set aside those tools in deference to the will of Washington voters? Here's a little advice from Jeffrey Steinborn, a Seattle-based criminal lawyer who defends marijuana cases: Don't kid yourself.
Medical marijuana laws across the country have not stopped the U.S. Justice Department under President Barack Obama from regarding dispensary operators as illicit drug traffickers. In California, police acting on a federal search warrant seized almost 2,000 marijuana plants and 40 pounds of processed marijuana from Matthew Davies, who ran his business according to state permitting rules. A federal grand jury indicted Davies on marijuana cultivation charges last summer. He's facing a five-year mandatory minimum prison sentence. There's no reason to believe the federal government won't take the same approach toward legal marijuana suppliers in Washington. Applications for state-issued licenses to grow and sell marijuana might give federal prosecutors cause to open an investigation. "We put out the red carpet for the Trojan Horse," Steinborn says.
Washington's law also leaves users vulnerable to arrest. Steinborn says that in the past 6 months he's taken on more marijuana-related driving-while-intoxicated cases than he did in the previous 44 years. He attributes the increase to a provision in the new marijuana law that lowers the burden of proof in these cases. Before legalization, prosecutors had to show that a driver was impaired by drug use and that the impairment affected the driver's performance behind the wheel. Steinborn says these cases were exceedingly rare because prosecutors had a hard time proving that drivers were actually impaired. Now all that's needed is a test showing at least 5 nanograms per milliliter of THC, marijuana's active ingredient, in an adult driver's blood or any amount of THC in a younger driver's blood.
"Officers and prosecutors are very much tuned in to this," Steinborn says. "To imagine police and prosecutors would ignore a tool that makes their lives so easy borders on the delusional."
Washington voters dived straight into the deep end of marijuana-law reform in November when they approved the legalization initiative by an 11-point margin. They instructed state leaders to license and regulate marijuana so anyone over age 21 can grow it, sell it, and enjoy it. They approved a 25 percent sales tax on the drug and specified how the tax revenues should be spent. The bulk of the proceeds will pay for public-health programs, substance-abuse prevention, and contributions to a state general fund. Voters also did away with the state's marijuana-related criminal and civil penalties.
Decriminalization goes to the heart of the initiative's intent. The first words in the text of the law say, "The people intend to stop treating adult marijuana use as a crime." But the effect of the law is not so black and white because of the federal prohibition against marijuana and the DUI provision added to Washington statute. Alison Holcomb, who led the marijuana campaign, known as Initiative 502, says that the DUI provision was included to tamp down opposition based on public-safety concerns. Fears about drugged driving played a significant role in hindering California's bid to legalize marijuana in 2010, says Holcomb, who is the drug policy director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington State. That measure did not have the same tough stance toward DUIs, and it went down in defeat.
During Washington's legalization campaign, Steinborn saw so much potential for government crackdowns on legal marijuana that he encouraged people to vote against it, making himself a pariah in marijuana-reform circles. "We took this great opportunity to do something earthshaking, and we blew it," he says.
Judging if someone has been driving under the influence based only on a drug test uses a "per se" legal standard, the same one that applies in alcohol-related DUI cases. Under the per se standard, there can be no quibbling about whether and to what extent marijuana actually influences the way a driver operates a vehicle. If an adult driver exceeds the THC limit of 5 nanograms, or a young driver has any amount of THC in the blood, that is by definition illegal. Recent medical research on marijuana has pointed out problems with this approach. One study released by the National Institutes of Health in 2010 shows that the effects of marijuana vary more between individuals than the effects of alcohol because of differences in tolerance, smoking technique, and absorption of THC. The NIH report also notes that while there's no dispute alcohol increases traffic safety risks, marijuana studies have been inconclusive.
With no proven link between impairment and THC concentrations in the blood, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) opposes "zero tolerance" per se standards like the one that applies to minors in Washington. NORML does not endorse the 5-nanogram standard, either. (Colorado, which also legalized marijuana for adult recreational use in November and is the only state besides Washington to have approved such a measure, has debated per se laws in its legislature but not passed them into law. About a dozen other states in addition to Washington use the per se standard. The rest follow an effect-based standard that requires prosecutors to show how drugs undermined a driver's performance behind the wheel.) It's known that THC levels in the blood peak quickly after inhalation. It's also known that maximal impairment occurs 20 to 40 minutes after smoking, when THC levels are declining. Paul Armentano, deputy director of NORML, says what's needed are better tests for impairment, not THC.
By the same token, Armentano says he's not so troubled by Washington's adoption of the per se standard because he doesn't expect it will change police procedures. Police had the power to order blood draws in DUI cases before marijuana legalization. As an expert witness, Armentano says he has seen cases where a toxicology report reveals no THC and prosecutors still move forward with other evidence, such as results from a field sobriety test and testimony from a drug-recognition expert. "The toxicology report is the cherry on top of the state's case," he says.
Holcomb stands behind the scientific basis of the 5-nanogram THC limit and the zero-tolerance policy toward young drivers, but she also points out some exceptions that provide leniency for youths. These include a separate legal statute for minors, as compared with adults, and a decision by the state toxicology lab to only return THC test results when the level is 1 nanogram or higher. "From ACLU's perspective, marijuana use shouldn't be a crime for anybody," she says.
If DUI arrests occur only when traffic safety is at risk, and not just because the police spot a Burning Man-bound stoner (easy prey), marijuana-related DUI cases should remain a relative oddity. Driving under the influence of drugs is reported as a contributing factor in less than 1 percent of collisions and less than 3 percent of fatalities on state roads in Washington. This includes all drugs that were illegal in 2011, including but not limited to marijuana (the Washington State Department of Transportation does not collect information on driving under the influence of marijuana specifically). Drunk driving is far and away a bigger problem, accounting for more than 4 percent of collisions and 20 percent of fatalities on state roads.
Ending federal prosecutions against state-sanctioned marijuana growers is a tougher nut to crack. Take no consolation from President Obama's recent statement that he has bigger fish to fry than recreational marijuana users in the Northwest. Coastal Washington is a popular destination for fishermen—with 187,000 pounds of marijuana in the supply chain, landing a big drug bust in this place ought to be like shooting fish in a barrel.

The gist of this article: oh those winey, uppity pot smokers who have some nerve complaining about being criminals. What's the point of this article? We shouldn't have ended slavery because Jim Crow sucked? Martin Luther King never should have bothered because, after all, 40 years later African Americans STILL don't have equal rights? It's equal enough and stop complaining? This article is condescending and offensive.
Cannabis consumers can be denied employment, education, college loans, public housing, food stamps, welfare, child custody, (I.e. Daisy Bram) and even basic property rights without proof of any crime due to confiscation laws.
Tue, 2013-01-29 12:44
And we won't stop fighting until we get equal rights.
We're uppity. We're pissed. We're mothers, fathers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, your next door neighbors and your sons and daughters. And we're not going away.
Responsible adult use of cannabis should not be a crime.
Get used to it.

"Under the per se standard, there can be no quibbling about whether and to what extent marijuana actually influences the way a driver operates a vehicle."
Studies have shown marijuana users are Safer Drivers than either drunk drivers, or sober ones.
One study, entitled "Medical Marijuana Laws, Traffic Fatalities, and Alcohol Consumption" conducted in November 2011 provides evidence that marijuana is a safer substitute for alcohol when it comes to health and also makes for safer drivers.
Top Ten Reasons Marijuana Users Are Safe Drivers
When you combine all of the main results of these two decades worth of scientific research studies, the following 10 reasons marijuana drivers are safer than drunk drivers comes out like this:
1. Drivers who had been using marijuana were found to drive slower, according to a 1983 study done by U.S. National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA). This was seen as a factor in their favor, since drivers who drank alcohol usually drove faster and that is part of the reason they had accidents.
2. Marijuana users were able to drive straight and not have any trouble staying in their own lanes when driving on the highway, according to a NHTSA done in 1993 in the Netherlands. The study determined also that the use of marijuana had very little effect on the person's overall driving ability.
3. Drivers who had smoked marijuana were shown to be less likely to try to pass other cars and to drive at a consistent speed, according to a University of Adelaide study done in Australia. The study showed no danger unless the drivers had also been drinking alcohol.
4. Drivers high on marijuana were also shown to be less likely to drive in a reckless fashion, according to a study done in 2000 in the UK by the UK Transport Research Lab. The study was done using drivers on driving simulators over a period of a month and was actually undertaken to show that pot was a cause for impairment,
- but instead it showed the opposite and confirmed that these drivers were actually much safer than some of the other drivers on the road
5. States that allow the legal use of marijuana for medical reasons are noticing less traffic fatalities; for instance, in Colorado and Montana there has been a nine percent drop in traffic fatalities and a five percent drop in beer sales. The conclusion was that
- using marijuana actually has helped save lives
. Medical marijuana is allowed in 16 states in the U.S.
6. Low doses of marijuana in a person's system was found by tests in Canada in 2002 to have little effect on a person's ability to drive a car, and that these drivers were in
- much fewer car crashes
than alcohol drinkers.
7. Most marijuana smokers have fewer crashes because they don't even drive in the first place and just stay home thus concluded more than one of these tests on pot smoking and driving.
8. Marijuana smokers are thought to be more sober drivers. Traffic information from 13 states where medical marijuana is legal showed that these drivers were actually safer and more careful than many other drivers on the road. These studies were confirmed by the University of Colorado and the Montana State University when they compared a relationship between legal marijuana use and deaths in traffic accidents in those states. The studies done by a group called the
- Truth About Cars
showed that traffic deaths fell nine percent in states with legal use of medical marijuana.
9. Multiple studies showed that marijuana smokers were less likely to be risk takers than those that use alcohol. The studies showed that the
- marijuana calmed them down and made them actually pay more attention to their abilities
. All of these tests and research studies showed that while some people think that marijuana is a major cause of traffic problems, in reality it may make the users even safer when they get behind the wheel.
10. Marijuana smoking drivers were shown to drive at prescribed following distances, which made them less likely to cause or have crashes.

Cannabis use is associated with only marginal increases in traffic accident risk, comparable to anti-histamines and penicillin.
An investigator from Aalborg University and the Institute of Transport Economics in Oslo assessed the risk of road accident associated with drivers' use of licit and illicit drugs, including amphetamines, analgesics, anti-asthmatics, anti-depressives, anti-histamines, benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, opiates, penicillin and zopiclone (a sleeping pill). His study reviewed data from 66 separate studies evaluating the use of illicit or prescribed drugs on accident risk; the study found that cannabis was associated with minor, but not significantly increased odds of traffic injury (1.06) or fatal accident (1.25). By comparison, opiates (1.44), benzodiazepine tranquillizers (2.30), anti-depressants (1.32), cocaine (2.96), amphetamines (4.46), and the sleeping aid zopiclone (2.60) were all associated with a greater risk of fatal accident than cannabis. Anti-histamines (1.12) and penicillin (1.12) were associated with comparable odds to cannabis.

The new legalization isn't perfect, but it's a start. If we had worked out every contingency before passing the state law, we'd never get anywhere. It's going to take baby steps.
But this is what we did accomplish. We and Colorado are being talked about, and everyone who is interested in reform is talking. Opponents to legalization are expressing their views, and people who know can educate. Some people refuse to be educated, but that's their problem, and they are few.
The author is correct. We need to push for FEDERAL decriminalization. I think that if the feds condescend to allow decriminalization to take place, they will try to get away with the Holland model, which is: It's still illegal, but ignored. That's absolutely dangerous to growers, distributors and consumers. It keeps the power to persecute in the hands of an ever-changing goverment. The only way to do that is to keep the issue hot, and keep bugging our senators to keep bugging DC to quit filling prisons with low-level offenders and move cannabis from schedule 1 to schedule 3 so it can be properly researched by unbiased researchers. The feds have tried to keep people ignorant and brainwashed about this plant, and the people know better now. It's time for change.

Would someone please tell me why the majority of the people who want marijuana legalized with out government taxation or regulation is not getting what they have told their government they want. I believe I fought for a free country where the majority rules and our laws are supposed to follow what the majority of THE PEOPLE want, and NOT what the majority in Washington want.

Prohibitionists literally don't give a d*** about the welfare of individual citizens. That's you, me, and everyone you care about. They don't even care when their failed policy puts their own families in danger by destroying the economy and bank-rolling criminals and terrorists. The prohibitionist onslaught appears to be simply a war directed at all of us.
America, it is time to wake up! Prohibition is a cultural and economic assault on your money, on your careers, on your ability to put food on the table, have shelter, cloth yourself, and even survive or self-medicate. The fiscal cliff isn't the crisis—Prohibitionist control over America's politics and government is!
During alcohol prohibition, all profits went to enrich criminals and corrupt politicians. Young men died every day on inner-city streets while battling over turf. A fortune was wasted on enforcement that could have gone on education, etc. On top of the budget-busting prosecution and incarceration costs, billions in taxes were lost. Finally, the economy collapsed. Sound familiar?
Prohibitionists, and their criminal friends who live in a crack-house called Congress, are having a ball and it's all on our tab.

McCain's Convenient Untruth
Higher tax rates mean a lower budget deficit. According to the Tax Policy Center, over the course of a decade Obama's plan would result in a national debt $1.2 trillion smaller than you would get under McCain's plan. Less government borrowing ultimately means lower interest rates and more private investment. This positive effect may well outweigh the blow to growth and jobs from weaker work incentives.

You'll Get Your Hydrogen Car Right After You Get Your Jetpack
Remember when George W. Bush told us that hydrogen cars were coming? In his 2003 State of the Union address, Bush announced a major new initiative to research and develop the technology and bring us to our green automotive future. So what happened?
Well, there were always problems, the biggest of which is probably the lack of a national hydrogen transport and delivery infrastructure. The nice thing about electricity is that we already have an electrical grid. Granted, the grid is terribly antiquated, and we'll still have to build special charging stations to juice up electric cars. But you can add those stations bit by bit and gradually convince more and more people that it makes sense to buy an electric car. With hydrogen, you really have to have a major initiative funded by the government to the tune of tens of billions of dollars to get to the point where people are going to feel like they'll be able to fill up their cars pretty much wherever they go. Wired explains:
Mercedes says there are just 200 hydrogen fueling stations worldwide, so Linde, the company providing the hydrogen for the F-Cells, built a mobile fueling rig for the trip. California, which has seen its much-touted love affair with hydrogen wax and wane, has four public stations. Nineteen more are planned by the end of 2012. Clearly there is a long way to go, and even the most rudimentary infrastructure will cost billions. Advocates say we are — slowly — making progress...
Proponents concede the technology, and the infrastructure that would support it, will require huge government investment. But the federal government is backing off. President Obama's proposed 2012 budget reduces funding for the Department of Energy hydrogen technology program by 40 percent, or almost $70 million. DOE says the cuts are being made "in order to focus on technologies deployable at large scale in the near-term."
Given the current appetite in Washington for funding large infrastructure projects, it's hard to see a national hydrogen network being built any time soon. On the other hand, some awesome nerd is developing (with a federal government grant) a "shockwave generator" engine that could cut auto emissions by 90 percent.

A hydrogen vehicle is a vehicle that uses hydrogen as its onboard fuel for motive power. Hydrogen vehicles include hydrogen fueled space rockets, as well as automobiles and other transportation vehicles. Some time ago, Toyota promised a hydrogen vehicle in 2015. The Toyota hydrogen car is still expected for that year.

Apart from fuel vehicle we have found different other types of vehicles such as; CNG vehicles (gas vehicles), electric or hybrid vehicles, and now its hydrogen vehicles. Most probably these vehicles were introduced to avoid the excess use of fuel; therefore now days most of the people were using electric vehicles. And these are mostly quite beneficial for our environment it helps to reduce pollution; but due to lack of electric charging stations and hydrogen fueling stations, still people were suffering for their electric and hydrogen vehicles.

Now is the age of technology.So many new features and developments are taking place in all sectors like in automobile also.So as new changes taking place in cars so researchers are planning to introduce different types of engine to cars and make it different to plain car. But the real fact how we are maintaining it so it will run life long without any problem.So we should select the real time service points who make the help to us for maintaining our car and giving good service.

The train, which was run iiy En¬ gineer Dimmick and Conductor Sniith, was traveling about sixty miles an hour when it struck the wagon. The horses were nearly across the tracks Lake and escaped injury, running to the barn The New South Grady James SLilos as soon as loosened by the accident. Mr. Knettel was thrown with great force against a steel signal post,break¬ ing' many of his bones. He was carried to the freight depot, where he died before medical attendance could arrive. The train stopped as .soon as possible after the wagon was hit and backed down to the scene of the disaster, hut later continued on its way to Long Isl¬ and City. Knettel was employed as driver oi a lumber wagon for C. Milton Foreman and was returning to the yards in the company of two other wagons. A freight train was standing in thefreijcht yards, which blocked the view of the tracks from the east, and the noise made by the freight locomotive pre¬ vented the drivers from hearing the approaching train. The first wagon had s;ot safely over and the second was on the tracks before the driver, Lee Combs, noticed the train approaching. He shouted to Knettel. but the man drove on the tracks innocent of dangef'. Not until the big headlight loomed up in front of him a few feet away did he * see his danger. The crossing has no protection by , bell, flagman or gates, and is used nearly aa much as any other thorough¬ fare in the village for draying pur¬ poses.

The Wilson College basketball team has high expectations and is looking to improve on last season's 5-20 record. This year, the team returns three starters from the 2010-11 season and adds several new players to the roster.
Returning for the Phoenix is sophomore, forward, Vanessa Whitefield (Chambersburg, PA/ Chambersburg), who led the team last season with 14.9 points per game, 11.5 rebounds per game and recorded 12 double doubles for the season. Returning junior, Tara Fields (Berryville, VA/ Clarke County) will also be a threat on the court for Wilson, averaging 13.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.4 steals per game last season. Senior, Maggie Sipps (Philadelphia, PA/ Little Flower) returns for her final season and will look to continue to be a defensive spark for Wilson. Head Coach, Angie Grove, will look to these veteran players to provide leadership and cohesiveness for the Phoenix.
Freshman new comers, Ashlee Yealy (Hanover, PA/ Hanover) and Sam Walker (Shinglehouse, PA/ Oswayo Valley) will add depth and experience to the Wilson roster. Also new to the team this season is Hillary Swartz (Carlisle, PA/ Boiling Springs), Brandy Holtzapple (Red Lion, PA/ Red Lion), Laura Beck (Coopersburg, PA/ Homeschooled), and Heather Jones (Gerrardstown, WV/ Messelman), all of who will contribute some positive minutes on the court.
Coach Grove is optimistic about this season's outlook. "With the combination of our new talent and returning players, I am excited to kick off our season. I think that this team has an opportunity to make their mark in the South Division of the NEAC if we stay together and believe in ourselves and each other." Grove is in her third year at the helm.
The Phoenix will start their season this weekend in the Vassar College Tournament with Vassar College, Wellesley College, and Cedar Crest College. Wilson will take on Wellesley on Saturday, November 19th at 4:00 pm and either Cedar Crest or Vassar on Sunday.

May 31 2009 09:27 PM | ATMA in Featured Cachers
Gsguru: I have had gsguru8306 since I first had my Girl Scout Troop many years ago. It was a way for me to filter emails. It has stuck. I no longer have a troop so I dropped the numbers but kept the GSGURU part. BTW – it stands for Girl Scout Guru. I have had many people try to figure it out.
When you cache, what equipment do you use? (PDA, Garmin, Magellan, software)
Gsguru: I use a Garmin 60Csx now. I started with a Whistler I found on Ebay but was too cumbersome to translate, especially when I was real new. Then I went to a Maggie Sportrak and had to have that replaced by the factory 2 times. My ex husband (no, not the last one, but my kids father… lol) bought me my 60 when he borrowed my car for a road trip to Virginia with the kids. I guess buying me a 60 was cheaper than renting a car. I use GSAK and not very good at it.
What are your all-time favorite cache(s)?
Gsguru: I enjoy caches that show me something new or unusual/unique. I really enjoy the hiking part (not the bushwacking, though) to some of the local caches. Occasionally when I need to get a caching fix, I'll do a P&G. I also enjoy series caches: big smiley, monopoly, etc. It is a good way to rack up the numbers.
Do you have any special caching adventures you want to tell us about?
Gsguru: Well, before the GW7 trip, I would really have to think long and hard on this question… but now.. by far, the Virgin Falls Cache and EC is one great adventure. Reports vary as to the elevation changes but I think it was around 900 feet. Took the group 9 hours and I saw some of the most spectacular views I have ever seen. Larry, Debbie and I were the last to get back to the parking lot, but we had a fantastic time. It rained on us on the way back up the mountain, which cooled us off but ruined my cell phone. The waterfalls were breathtaking and awe inspiring. I would like to possibly take another trip there and camp for the weekend by the falls. Couldn't be better than that.
Have any "Most embarrassing Geo-moment" you would like to share? Details please!
Gsguru: Hmmmm, not really. I don't get embarrassed by much. If you've ever met me, you know how I am. What could be embarrassing for some would be a walk in the park for me.
What is your favorite type of cache (traditional, multi, puzzle) and why?
Gsguru: I like traditional. I am not very good at puzzles so I usually filter those out. I would like to do more multi's but always seem to find other ones to do instead.
Summer or Winter caching? Why?
Gsguru: Winter caching. I don't like spider webs and they are EVERYWHERE in the summer time. I also don't much like the heat in the summer time caching. I do cache in the summer but usually try to get an early start.
When a new cache is listed, are you tempted to go for FTF?
Gsguru: Not any more. I got one FTF and that is good for me. I have never had the desire to be a FTF hound. More power to all that are out there though...
Tell us about your cache mobile.
Gsguru: Toyota Sequoia that I absolutely LOVE. It is big enough to haul around my gear when I camp and also comfy enough to haul around cachers.
What other hobbies do you have?
Gsguru: Scouting, reading and lately running 5k's. Deb and I are going to do the Aramco Half Marathon in January and we have been running for about 5 months now. I also love to hike and camp.
Do you currently have any caching goals that you are working towards?
Gsguru: I do have some caching goals. I want to be able to go to a town and cache the town dry. I also want to do all the caches on the major freeways out of town completely. I want to be able to do some of the challenge caches also.
Is it all about the numbers?
Gsguru: Absolutely NOT. Even though I have enjoyed my goals of 50/day, then 100/day, it takes the fun out of it for me. I am more interested in the places that this sport takes me. I have seen some of the most incredible places and sights that I wouldn't have known about otherwise. So, no, for me. It is about the adventure more than the numbers.
Thanks for this interview. Is there anything you would like to add?
Gsguru: Thanks for the nomination. If you want to know anything else, just ask. I am definitely NOT a shy person and am pretty open about most things. Remember to thank a vet for our freedom and say a prayer for our soldiers currently defending our freedom. After all, I AM A PROUD ARMY MOM.

Hey, Congratulations!
That's a great interview!
I enjoyed meeting you for the first time at the New Years Camp out at BBSP this year and the two events you sponsored. Your Newbie event was a hit and it inspired one of my caches. Why was the wind so fierce every time we met in a pavilion at GBP?
Take it easy and I'm proud to know you!

Jim's Computer Problems
Not an NXT issue, so please accept my apologies, but I feel that a 45,000+ readership might help me get something done.
No long essay, just the facts:
1. Yesterday - my Dell laptop took an electrical hit - bad video card is the culprit. Called Dell Tech Support to test whether the $150 next-business-day fix service would work. Scheduled a technician to show up today, June 11 - "They'll call you before 12 noon to let you know what time to expect someone."
2. Today - June 11 - no call. I called them. My replacement part wasn't overnighted to Atlanta, but someone in California will be getting an unusual gift today. Given number and extension to call. Called, no answer - left message (loudly).
3. 3pm EST now - no call back. No follow-up. Called Dell Tech Support again 20 minutes ago - pressed the right keys but got routed to 'Printer Tech Support' area... hang up, try again. Same thing - "Printer Tech Support" area. One more time... wouldn't happen 3 times would it? Yep.
4. Log on to Blogger and share with 45,000 readers how someone who relies on his Dell laptop for a living cannot write today... or yesterday... must use a different computer and inefficiency goes out the door.
5. Questions for Dell: Will you please refund me the money I paid for the extended next-day on-site service? If not, please send me explanation for how this service works because I must be the only person in the world who doesn't understand what "next" and "day" mean.
Bottom Line: I like Dell computers and laptops, but if you're considering buying an extended warranty, you might want to rethink it. I'll keep you informed on how Dell handles this situation. Thanks for letting me gripe a bit, friends.

Odd. I've never had a problem with Dell's phone support. I had a similar problem: fried GFX card. They had an in-home technician there within a week. He couldn't fix it, so I had to send it in. Came back, and has run perfectly since. As to the 'printer support', I seem to remember a similar situation, although I don't remember what I did.
Have a nice day,
Hope your comp gets fixed soon,

Sidney - let me clear that up.
The Dell Tech Support call I made yesterday was great - the person I spoke to (Phillipines) was helpful and we figured it out fast.
It's what happens AFTER the call - a local support company in Atlanta is supposed to get the part (overnighted) and call me by noon to schedule a visit to fix. No part... no call... no visit.
Between yesterday, today, and most likely tomorrow and the weekend, I will have lost a substantial amount of work hours that cannot be made up.
I've just emailed four different execs at Dell, so it'll be interesting to see if anything happens... or nothing.
Thanks for the kind words... I hope my laptop gets fixed soon, too.

One of the places I worked used Dell machines exclusively. And we had the 48 hour turn-around (being in rural Maine, that was the best Dell would offer).
There were times when it was easier to fix it ourselves, than to let Dell deal with it. But it was more of the "authorized Dell technician" issues, than true "Dell" issues.

I had - still have - a messed up hard drive that Dell still hasn't assist in finding the problem yet. We've talked 3 or 4 times, no help yet...

This is cold comfort to you, but Lenovo came through for us when Fay's motherboard went south.
It took a week for them to get the part (which I didn't like), but a local guy eventually made a 140-mile round trip to our house, spent 2.5 hours here and finally got it done.
My new philosophy: buy the cheapest computer you can and forget extended warranties. I figure if I get a $400 laptop without an extended warranty and it lasts two years, then I come out ahead (slightly).

I'm sorry about your computer problems; that can be very frustrating. But that's why I'm saving up for a Mac. =)

The dell warranty worked for me, they really arrived the next day and fixed the problem.
By the way, is the GFX card Nvidia with G86 chip? That whole model is doomed to fail - NVidia made a bad choice of materials, and replacement of all chips made in that generation would bankrupt them, so they try to ignore the problem and pass it to the consumers (hoping that chips will die after warranty).
Just google nvidia g86.

This is why I will never go back to a PC and stay with a mac. When something happens you literally want to just smash the computer, and burst into hysterics. Dell Should refund your money and give you the graphics card for free. Hope your problem gets fixed A.S.A.P

I'd settle for them fixing my laptop and refunding the money I paid for next day service.

I really wanted to vent about Dell...
I bought a Laptop, which wouldn't start up after 1 month of use. I had to reset the OS to factory setup, loosing lots of files.
THen the SAME thing happened 2 months later.
Then another mother board problem within 1 year of getting the laptop. Got my mother board replaced, only to find that the replaced mother board had a broken card slot.

I'm sorry about your computer, especially since you where writing another Maya adventure book! I've never had a problem with Dell, maybe that's because I've never had a Dell. I've had a Toshiba for three years and it still runs like new (aside from a rather full hard drive). The only downside about Toshiba is that they are a tad bit more expensive. Supposedly the problems with the NVIDIA G86 comes from overheating problems. I hope that you will at least get your money refunded, and hopefully get your computer fixed.

Thanks for the note - I did receive a call this morning (didn't get a name) from someone at Dell telling me the part would be shipped to my house on Monday and for me to call back so they could scheduled a tech to come out.
While I'm happy to have the process rolling, I hope you can understand my frustration - I pay extra for next-day service and even though I'm sure this was just an unfortunate mistake on Dell and FedEx/UPS/??? part, it doesn't get me back my lost billable hours.
I'll contact you shortly.

Good luck Jim.....I'm sure this affects us all since you're not able to write those wonderful NXT books for us to spend our money on.
We feel your pain...
Best of Luck,

I've only ever needed dell support at work, used them last month was 2.5 hrs from phone call to part arriving (4hr service). Always built my own machines for home. It is a pain when things break rma is normally two weeks... But I think I can replace any component (as a temp part) in 2 hours, for less than the cost of next day support.

Bringing a corvette back to life from the depredations of an automobile graveyard is not for the faint of heart. It requires dedication, determination, talent, and time. It also helps if you own a Corvette reproduction-components company and can utilize your own parts bin in the process.
Paragon Reproductions, a specialist in '53-'82 Corvette repro hardware since 1970, says the concept behind "Bones," as this '62 Corvette is called, was to illustrate how the company's wares could be used to resurrect a Corvette from a boneyard and rebuild it into a world-class machine.
The three-year project began in April 2006, when Paragon plucked a '62 body shell from its corporate salvage yard. "It had been back there 20 or 30 years," Steve Childs, the company's president, tells VETTE. "By the time we got it, it had been stripped of everything but a floorpan and a firewall. The idea of building a performance show car from the boneyard cockpit, instead of from a complete car, shows how far you can go with very little Corvette to start with."
The first step was to rough out the visuals of the final product. "We contemplated what we were going to do with the body," Childs explains. "Our graphics department put together a rendering of how we wanted the Corvette to look, based upon our ideas of a classic-looking, but muscular, C1 with modern performance mechanicals and suspension. To accomplish that goal, we incorporated the big-block hood and side louvers from a '69 Corvette, while sourcing the remainder of the body panels-including fenders, doors, and trunk lid-from a '62 donor. It still looks like a '62, but a '62 hungry for the kill."
Enter Randy Church of Randy Church Restorations in St. Charles, Michigan, who was tapped by Paragon to prep and paint the Vette. Over the course of 150 hours, Church's team would transform the weathered boneyard shell into a laser-straight body, then define its new look with deliberate doses of Dupont ChromaBase GM Indigo Blue and ChromaClear, followed by expert wet-sanding and polishing.
With the shell on its way to body beautiful, Paragon's in-house team had the chance it needed to focus on the Corvette's mechanicals, chassis, and suspension. Choosing a Paul Newman frame as a starting point, the team treated it to C4 front and rear suspension and brake components, including upper and lower control arms, shocks, springs, sway bars, rotors, and calipers. (Later, the team would install a '62 gas tank, a Holley electric fuel pump, C4 steering, an ididit steering column, a dual-reservoir master brake cylinder, and a DeWitts aluminum radiator.)
The drivetrain was next. Not surprisingly, an LS7 was the first thing on the team members' minds when the question of what engine to use came up. "It was a unanimous decision amongst us to choose the GM Performance Parts LS7 engine for this Corvette," Steve recalled. "We're a Corvette restoration company, we wanted this car to stay all Corvette, and there was no better choice than the LS7."
In case there's anyone out there who's still not familiar with the LS7's credentials, GM's race-ready street motor displaces 427 cubes, thanks to its 4.125-inch-bore aluminum block and a 4.00-inch forged-steel crankshaft. Other noteworthy components include forged titanium connecting rods, hypereutectic aluminum pistons, and CNC-ported heads with 70cc chambers, 2.20-inch titanium intake valves, and 1.61-inch sodium-filled exhaust valves. Orchestrating the valvetrain is a hydraulic roller cam with 211-/230-degree duration and 0.591-/0.591-inch lift. The compression ratio is 11.0:1.
Realizing that the LS7 was adequately muscular in this application, the Paragon folks kept aftermarket performance mods to a minimum. Custom ceramic-coated headers from Almarc Tube Co. in Sterling, Michigan, and a dual-snorkel K&N cold-air intake combine to bump the engine's output to an estimated 560 hp.

Building on Wilson College's long standing mission, the Environmental Studies
Department strives to cultivate students that seek fulfilling lives and
professions by providing them with the tools for ethical leadership and
humane stewardship of our communities and our world. We have designed a
curriculum that provides students with a broad understanding of the
cultural, economic and environmental aspects of sustainability. The
curricula of the Environmental Studies Department has a strong grounding
in the principles of environmental science, sustainability, biology,
ecology, chemistry, and statistics. Many courses offered by the
Department focus on experiential and service learning.
Environmental Studies Department offers a major in Environmental Science
and Environmental Sustainability, a minor in Environmental Studies and
certification in Environmental Education. The Department works in close
partnership with the Fulton Center for Sustainable Living (FCSL),
and requires all students to complete an internship in the student's
selected area of focus as part of their program. Opportunities are also
provided for independent study courses in specialized areas of research.
beautiful, 300-acre campus is situated on the banks of the
Conococheague Creek in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in
southern Pennsylvania. Wilson College houses an interpretive trail, Fulton
Farm--an over 50-acre farmstead that produces Certified Naturally Grown
crops for our community-supported agriculture (CSA) program--and the Robyn Van En Center (RVEC).
RVEC is a nonprofit organization that houses a national database of
CSA's and provides education and assistance about the promise of CSA's
as a way to reconnect people to farmers and preserve small family farms.
There are also hands-on alternative energy technologies that students
can learn about including biodiesel, solar, and wind. These and other
resources make Wilson College a unique place to study and experience
environmental science and sustainability.
Studies majors and minors plan their programs in close collaboration
with faculty advisors. Careers in environmental fields require intensive
preparation; therefore, some students consider a double major or minor
in a related discipline. Students with special interests may develop
individual programs of study in collaboration with advisors from
appropriate disciplines. Our graduates have chosen to pursue graduate
work in ecology or environmental science, environmental policy,
environmental law, or find employment with private companies or
governmental or non-governmental organizations. Specifically, recent
students have interned with or been employed by the National Park
Service at Homestead National Monument of America in Nebraska, the
Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, and Earthnet Energy among
others. Wilson also has a formal partnership with Vermont Law School.
program continues to grow. We will continue to adapt to our changing
student body and new local and global needs as they arise. Please

After all the Bow Tie excitement in Dallas, we got a few weeks to catch our breath before heading up to Norwalk, Ohio, for the next event on the Super Chevy Show tour. Bill Bader Jr. and the crew at Summit Motorsports Park had everything ready to go for a full weekend of Chevy fun, despite some ominous weather forecasts.
Arriving at the track for Friday's test 'n' tune, we were stunned to see the pits filled to the brim with racers itching to hit the Norwalk quarter-mile and tweak their cars for Saturday's action. We're talking 390 race cars strong.
Saturday dawned gray and ominous, which undoubtedly impacted the car show. Luckily, we only fought a few sporadic drizzles through the event. The drag racers were not deterred at all. There were 450 Bow Ties of every conceivable combination entered in the various classes. These folks were hardcore. There was even an LS-powered Fox-chassis Mustang competing.
The premier strip category of the weekend was the Fuel Altered Showdown. Led by the most famous car in the history of the class, the "Winged Express," the nitro-sucking, on-the-edge-of-out-of-control monsters didn't disappoint as they faced off against each other all weekend. In between, the staging lanes were filled to the brim with cars from the various classes.
Over in the car show area, the First Generation Monte Carlo Club (www.fgmcc.com) brought over 30 of its members out for their annual eastern meet and judging to liven up the car show. Club President Andreas Kwetkus was in attendance with his own Monte despite having a mishap with his car's paint prior to the show. The club was established in 2000, and each year holds an annual eastern and western meet that members can attend to have their cars judged by members for a variety of awards.
While the brief flirtations with rain throughout the weekend caused a few delays, the crew at Summit Motorsports Park was always on the ball, keeping the track dry and everything else running smoothly. And much to the delight of everyone attending the car show award ceremonies, Bill Bader Jr. announced that the series would be returning to the track next year (dates to be determined).
Robert Pavlov was smoking out the track all weekend in his '57 convertible with John Force-style burnouts while running the Shoebox Shootout class. In the final round, he squared off against Bill Rodrigues' '56 Bel Air hardtop, with Rodrigues breaking out with a 9.84 run on a 9.93 dial in, while Pavlov ran a winning 9.22 on a 9.07 dial in.
