Wind: 0 mph
By Brigid Scheffert
As the school year begins, administrators across Vermont will once again focus on student safety. Our Washington West Supervisory Union administrative team spent the better part of a day in August reviewing and revising the safety plans and protocols for our schools. However, this year my thoughts and concerns about keeping our students safe extend far beyond unwanted intruders. In particular, I have been dwelling on the use of social media. For years we have written policies and procedures about acceptable use, developed student contracts and have tried to educate students about the dangers of the internet. Parents do the same. Usually, the focus is one of stranger danger, falsehoods and inappropriate sites.
I am really writing today to reach out to the student body and parent community with a large warning about sexting. Actually, the topic is much larger than sexting in the way most of us define it. Sexting, the sending of naked pictures of oneself to others, usually friends, has taken on a whole new meaning with a huge set of unintended, harmful consequences that can, in just a push of a button, nearly destroy a young person's future career and possibly life.
I am telling this story to our community at large in an effort to be proactive, to help spare other students and to educate everyone about the realities in our own backyard. The story goes like this. Last year, I became aware that a sizable number of Harwood students were involved in sexting on a pretty regular basis over the course of a two-year period. Through investigation by both school officials and law enforcement, it became clear that 20 or so female students had sent very graphic naked pictures of themselves to boyfriends. Now what happened next took on an even more serious and dangerous turn. As many as 30 or so male students started sharing the pictures, trading them, collecting them like baseball cards and offering to buy certain girl's photos. I have no doubt that this whole story goes even deeper, but I can only write about what was actually uncovered.
Students were horrified. Many were completely stunned to find out that the photos existed because, of course, promises were made that they would be destroyed. Vermont has sexting legislation that somewhat differentiates in a legal way this kind of behavior when it is consensual among students of nearly the same age and does not involve sharing the photos. But, when naked pictures of minors are possessed, distributed and sold, the law becomes very black and white. Really good students, making really bad choices naively and impulsively, can find themselves with very serious felony charges. Even if convictions get avoided, college acceptances, scholarships and admission into military academies can go up in smoke, not to mention future employment opportunities. Our students are unaware of the magnitude of what can happen to them, and their lives, by engaging in these behaviors. I do not want to be sitting across another table with a devastated family, with a mother whose eyes are swollen shut from crying and a student whose college and career plan has just been destroyed because of sexting or other stupid, impulsive use of social media.
The Vermont State Police reported to me, that they subpoenaed from Facebook approximately 2,000 pages of texting and sexting messages from Harwood Union students last year. I was shocked not only at what I saw but how extensive the entire case was. I also learned that sexting and the other behaviors I mentioned above are rampant in high schools throughout Vermont. Last February, similar cases were reported in the media in Milton and St. Albans. One deputy state's attorney, when speaking in general of today's teens sharing nude or explicit photos, said it is so prevalent that the special investigative units throughout the state do not have the manpower to investigate everything that gets reported.
At the present time, I am told by law enforcement that the Harwood investigation is completed. Those students involved have been receiving supports throughout the year, including counseling. My understanding is that the HUHS case has been turned over to the Community Justice Center (CJC). We have worked collaboratively with our agency partners to take an educational and restorative justice approach in this matter, issuing school discipline where warranted and avoiding criminal charges. As part of our agreement, the CJC will create an all-school assembly program on the dangers of sexting, along with law enforcement officials, who will present the factual information about the laws.
A number of resources exist within our local communities that can assist and support parents and students. The best way to become fully informed about what is available and to tailor supports to individual needs is to be in contact with the Lisa Lemieux in the HUHS guidance department at (802) 882-1117.
Harwood Union High School will continue to take a comprehensive, proactive educational approach regarding Safety and Social Media. These efforts will be largely the responsibility of the HUHS Coordinated School Health Team, which is overseen directly by a school administrator and consists of three school counselors, the nurse, the Student Assistance Program (SAP) specialist, a health teacher and two students.
In direct response to the Facebook case, this team coordinated mental health services for students/families and a worker to present to the faculty on trauma. The team has also partnered with Stephen McArthur, community outreach coordinator for Circle. He has received a grant to support Harwood in a student directed and created project related to bullying and harassment with a focus on social media. This yearlong project will begin soon. Additionally two students who attended the Hugh O'Brien Youth Leadership Conference over the summer have a proposal to bring Jamie Utt to Harwood; Jamie is a presenter that focuses on bullying and harassment and the students have included in their proposal a means for preparing and following up with the student body.
In addition, Washington County Youth Services at (802) 229-9151 and Yvonne Byrd, director of the Montpelier Community Justice Center at (802) 223-9606 are valuable resources. This is not just a Harwood problem. Parents and other adult role models, we need to open up dialogue and keep on talking about the dangers and ramifications of these types of choices with our students. We need another approach other than the court system. Please join our efforts in keeping our students safe by attending future assemblies and evening forums throughout the year, intended to provide proactive supports to this very important social issue of our time. Clearly, it does truly take a community to raise a child.
Scheffert is the superintendent at Washington West Supervisory Union.

EAST BEND - Led by a core group of veterans, the Falcons are off to a fast start.
After dropping a 7-0 decision to West Forsyth in the season opener, Forbush has picked up two Mountain Valley Conference victories in three tries, including a 12-3 drubbing of North Wilkes Friday night in Hays.
Mason Doub powered the Falcons past North with five solid innings on the mound. The junior allowed three runs (all unearned), while scattering four hits and striking out six.
Offensively, Forbush pounded out 16 hits on the night, led by a 4-for-5 day at the plate by Ben Temple. The senior added two RBIs and two runs scored.
Barrett Hennings tacked on three hits in five at-bats with three runs scored and two RBIs as eight different Falcons crossed home plate on the night.
Forbush jumped on the board first, plating two runs in the top-half of the first on base hits form Temple and Hennings and never looked back.
The Falcons tacked on four more in the third to build a 6-0 advantage.
After North struck back in the third and cut the lead in half at 6-3 on three Falcon miscues in the field, Forbush responded with runs in three-straight frames, including a four-spot in the fifth.
Brad Dzeskewicz worked out of trouble in the sixth before slamming the door in the seventh to preserve the 12-3 win.
The win was a big bounce-back victory from a heart-breaking 2-1 defeat to 2A rival Ashe County the night before in East Bend.
A sixth-inning infield single to short gave the Huskies the late lead as Forbush could not answer, dropping the hard-fought decision.
The loss spoiled Temple's gem on the mound. The senior allowed two unearned runs, while striking out 11 batters over six innings of work.
Forbush only managed five hits on the night, led by a pair of base hits by Carson Fulp. Dzeskewicz plated Nelson Valerio for the Falcons only run of the game in the second.
Forbush, now 2-2 on the year and 2-1 in the conference, returns the field this week with three games. The Falcons travel to Millers Creek Tuesday night to take on 1A power West Wilkes before hosting West Iredell and Davie County Wednesday and Friday in non-conference tilts.

Environmentalist challenges mosquito-control agencyWritten by Patrick Timmis | | email@example.com
Local environmental advocate Susan Searles and her team have distributed about 11,000 pamphlets around Toledo as part of their "Say Nay to Spray" campaign.
The main thrust of Searles' argument is that the pesticides sprayed by Toledo Area Sanitary District (TASD) — the city mosquito-control agency — are dangerous to wildlife, pets, children and adults. The agency responds that its chemicals carry minimum risk and do not harm residents or the environment.
Searles wrote in an online article that pesticides are linked to childhood epidemics like cancer and asthma. She maintains the chemicals are deadly to bees, which are vital to pollination of fruits and vegetables. Pesticides also indirectly poison insect predators, such as birds, bats and amphibians, when they eat infected mosquitoes, she wrote.
Searles challenged the effectiveness of pesticide spraying, writing that it does not work for more than a day or two. Studies from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention seem to conclude that mosquitoes develop immunity to the chemicals after a time, she wrote.
"Then with fewer predators, the mosquitoes multiply faster than they did originally. The logical conclusion is that mosquito sprays are counterproductive, actually increasing the number of mosquitoes, because of the kill-off of their predators," she wrote.
Addressing the common concern that mosquitoes carry West Nile virus (WNV), she said on average only one in 150 people infected with WNV becomes seriously ill, and that person typically is either very old or already very sick.
"So it's a very small population that WNV is affecting," she said in an interview, "and the hazards of the spray are such that it's not fair … to fumigate and pesticide the majority of the population because a very small percentage have that risk."
The chemical chlorpyrifos — used in spraying mosquitoes — is found in the vast majority of Americans; such pesticides damage the immune system, rendering people more susceptible to WNV, she said.
Her concerns extend beyond the ordinary application of pesticides.
"It's a security issue," she said.
If a TASD truck crashed and the chemical tank was punctured, she said, this spray — which she said was originally developed by the Nazis in concentrated form as a chemical weapon — could infiltrate the population.
"It would be a disaster, a complete disaster," she said. "Not to mention terrorists breaking into TASD and wreaking havoc."
Searles has repeatedly brought the issue before the city councils of Toledo, Sylvania and Maumee, and plans on meeting with the county's Health Department next week. So far, she has not been able to convince lawmakers to enact a ban because of a lack of community pressure on lawmakers. This is why she said she has distributed more than 10,000 flyers advising residents how they can opt out of being sprayed. Her blog site is http://sites.google.com/site/saynaytospray/
Searles stressed that she has no malice toward TASD itself and has found the agency's employees to be as courteous and accommodating as possible.
"I don't want to shut them down," she said. "I want them to turn to a nontoxic approach — which is advocated by the Centers for Disease Control — which is not spraying, but helping communities eliminate the standing water which breeds mosquitoes. It's that simple."
TASD responds
"It's not our goal to come to work and spray a lot of pesticide," said Lee Mitchell, TASD's biologist. "I'd be perfectly happy not to have to spray anything to kill mosquitoes, but that simply is the tool that we have at the present time. I would love to see a different technique than we're using."
Mitchell said sumithrin and chlorpyrifos, the pesticides TASD uses, are not perfect. Ideally, each droplet would be a heat-seeking missile that never missed the insects. In a perfect world, there would be no pesticide residue on fruits or vegetables, but in today's mass-produced agricultural system, that's not realistic, he said.
But Mitchell maintains that the actual risks are minimal and the cases of real harm in Lucas County basically nonexistent. When TASD sprays, it was only two-thirds of an ounce of pesticide per acre. That translates to two tablespoons, Mitchell said, and most homeowners only live on about half an acre.
According to the Virginia Department of Health, "Sumithrin has very low toxicity to humans. Short-term or accidental exposure to very high levels of sumithrin can affect the nervous system, causing effects such as incoordination, tremors or tingling and numbness in the area of skin contact.
Since sumithrin is applied at very low concentrations, most people would not be expected to experience any adverse health effects."
Chlorpyrifos, which TASD applies at night, is more dangerous. According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, short-term oral exposure to low levels of chlorpyrifos can cause dizziness, fatigue, runny nose or eyes, salivation, nausea, intestinal discomfort, sweating, and changes in heart rate. Short-term oral exposure to much higher levels of chlorpyrifos can cause paralysis, seizures, loss of consciousness and death.
The chemical was banned for use by homeowners by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Mitchell said the main reason for the ban was misuse by people who sprayed their own homes with the chemical.
"Most people don't have a degree in entomology, so when it comes to killing a bug, anything beyond using a flyswatter or something pretty basic has the potential to be a problem."
Mitchell said the most likely way for someone to be orally exposed to the pesticide is to eat fruits or vegetables that have been sprayed. But he said the residue would likely be minimal and recommended that people wash their food before eating it, citing USDA guidelines.
Mitchell said employees would be the first to experience illness because of contact with the gas, but that hasn't happened.
"All we do is one thing, so we have to be pretty focused on that one thing and not screw it up," he said. "So because we have trained employees we're able to keep people safe, and we've never had a lawsuit in Lucas County because of ill health or disease or employees filing suit that we've somehow adversely affected their health."
TASD has also never seen a bird or bee tested positive for death by pesticide. Bees have been dying because of parasites and a new disease affecting the whole bee industry that is not pesticide related, Mitchell said.
"We've worked with beekeepers in Lucas County for years and years and years, and we've never had anyone accuse us of killing bees."
The reason TASD uses multiple kinds of pesticide — sumithrin and chlorpyrifos for adults and BTI, Abate and Tire Abate to kill larvae in the water — is to fight the mosquitoes' ability to build resistance, Mitchell said. TASD's efforts are aided by the out-of-county mosquitoes, without any genetic fortifications against the chemicals, that fly into the area attracted by city lights. They breed with Lucas County mosquitoes and impede the resistance process, he said.
Mitchell said the mosquito population is dropping as the summer goes on, but mid-July to mid-September is the hotspot for West Nile Virus. Five pools of mosquitoes Mitchell has captured have tested positive for WNV this summer — a typical rate, he said.
TASD also has some natural recommendations, including eliminating standing water and stocking ponds with Gambusia, a small mosquito-eating fish TASD will deliver for free.
Anyone who wishes to opt out of spraying can contact TASD and request the removal form. Mitchell said the "Say Nay to Spray" campaign — which he said would be intimidating to someone without the context of a scientific background — has resulted in about 30 people opting out so far this year.
"I'm surprised we haven't gotten more calls because of those pamphlets," he said. "A lot of that I would attribute to just the trust factor, since we've been here a long time. We've been here 65 years. Our employees live in the community. My kids grew up in this community."

Poll: What do you expect to see during the Verizon iPhone announcement?
Steve jobs "last year we gave you a retina display, a faster processor and a better camera. This year we will be giving you the best service you have ever had. One word to sum all this up, Magic!"
@#4: "On the other hand, Verizon knows how to be boring and expected at something like this."
It's Verizon's event. It's going to be a plain jane CDMA iphone, no LTE.
The more I read about the shootout between VZ and ATT, the less excited I get. ATT is fine where I live so I'm really not feeling it.
For me, the best outcome would be the option for a cheap early upgrade to an iPhone 4.
There is no way there will be a white iPhone exclusive to Verizon. This would not only piss off customers on AT&T who wanted a white iPhone and now can't get it because it's exclusive to Verizon but it would piss off AT&T because it would entice some people to jump ship just for the color. I doubt they will do LTE just because they stayed away from 3G until it was proven so why would they go with LTE when it isn't even in wide adoption, not the Apple way. I think there will be a white iPhone and it might coincide with the Verizon launch to use the hype but not exclusive to Verizon. It might be exclusive to the US??
Vz iphone has to be LTE, I hope that Apple didn't wait 4 years to release a plain CDMA iphone?!!
@iPheuria: Do you really think users will be pissed off because of a color of the device? Seriously? And you think a company the size of AT&T will care what color the device is? Come on... Although I think you missed the boat on most of your comments, I completely agree that it would be surprising to see the iPhone being LTE for the reasons you listed, though we can all dream. At least make it a World Phone...
And finally, @ David: "Based on the differnet and the comments I wonder if VerizonWireless iPhone user will have a warm welcome." Who is going to "welcome" the iPhone VZW customer? Other VZW customers? Who gives a rip? Good for Apple for finally expanding to another carrier and giving those who have wanted the iPhone- but didn't have the service or refused to put up with AT&T's customer service- a chance to get their hands on the device.
I'm hoping Verizon did the right thing and really tested how taxing this device may be on their system so they don't have to fight the same PR mess that AT&T has. We are currently Alltel customers who will become AT&T customers "sometime" in the near future, though this date keeps getting moved back. I've tried to find out more information to compare my current plan with future options, but anyone I speak with at AT&T seems to send me to someone else. More proof that AT&T just can't deal with customers...
I don't see it possible that it would be LTE until next generation - and it would happen for both carriers.
Apple doesn't like early adoption (Remember 3G for the first iPhone?) and 4G just isn't that widespread yet.
Plus, if Verizon had the LTE iPhone, it would give them an advantage over AT&T for customers to go to Verizon instead of AT&T. AT&T would not be happy with Apple if that were to happen; it already sounds like some people are going to switch as it is.
Verizon will change their upgrade policy to 20 months and will stop offering their 12 month discounted upgrade option on January 16th. They will also not release the iPhone until 14 days after the new upgrade policy has been in effect to prevent returns of one year upgrade phones for the new iPhone. So the soonest the new iPhone will be available is January 31st. My guess is Feb 3rd.
The new Verizon iPhone will be just a CDMA phone and will not include 4G. It will have the revised frame we have been seeing pictures of which people are saying is the iPhone 5 but it is just a different antenna layout for the Verizon iPhone 4.
There will be no Apple announcements other than the Verizon iPhone being available. Apple will save any of their own announcements for an event put on by them later.
All of this is just a guess from the rumors I have heard and read.
Why are iPhone options the only options in this poll? You people are aware that there are Windows Phone 7 phones coming to Verizon around this time too, right?
I'm going to laugh my ass off if/when this announcement has NOTHING to do with the iPhone. Although I almost hope it is just so I don't have to keep seeing these stupid rumor articles.
Wow - are you behind the times. 10 minutes into the announcement and you are hoping it isn't about the iPhone? It's already been announced! Also, the topic is "Poll: What do you expect to see during the Verizon iPhone announcement?"
Pretty much says people aren't going to talk about a Windows device... Wow.
The phone comes with Verizon Crapware installed - VZ Navigator and VZ Media Manager Bull shiat. HA

Charleston‐area dentist and National Spokesperson for Wrigley's Orbit For Kids Sugarfree Gum, AmandaSeay, DDS, hopes to increase awareness surrounding National Dental Hygiene Month. Focusing on early detection, she has highlighted three ways your dentist may be your first line of defense in maintaining good health. "Most people see their dentist twice a year at least ‐ giving us the opportunity to be a gateway to their overall health.
We offer screenings and preventative services as part of a routine hygiene exam and they can be invaluable in detecting health issues early on" says Seay.
Three services at a routine hygiene visit that can forcast health issues:
• Blood pressure screenings taken at each visit.
Untreated high blood pressure can lead or contribute to atherosclerosis, stroke, heart disease, kidney disease, eye disease, diabetes and other health conditions.
67 million American adults (31 percent) have high blood pressure — that's 1 in every 3 American adults.
• Head and neck exam completed at every visit.
Dentists may see a skin issue or find an enlarged lymph node that should be evaluated further. Head and neck cancer accounts for five to 10 percent of all cancers in the United States and 3% of all malignant cancers in the US.
• Oral cnacer screening completed annually.
A surface exam is a necessary part of your head and neck exam. The Velscope is an adjunct to this service, enabling dentists to see beneath the surface giving them the best chance of early detection of oral cancer. At least 85 percent of head and neck cancers are oral cancer.
Dr. Seay was one of Dental Products Report's Top 25 Women in Dentistry. She is the mother of four children, all under the age of 9 and an active participant in outreach initiatives such as the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry's "Give Back a Smile," Our Lady of Mercy Wellness Center, and the East Cooper Community Outreach (ECCO) Dental Clinic.
Dr. Seay and her team at Park West Dentistry hold themselves to a high standard of care, as such these screenings and preventative services are offered as part of any exam and are invaluable to maintaining the best health.

Women's Entrepreneurial Network will host Women's Distance Festival on Aug. 2Written by Amanda Tindall | | email@example.com
Whether you love heels or flats, stilettos or sneakers, the Women's Entrepreneurial Network (WEN) will host its second Women's Distance Festival on Aug. 2.
The day's events include a 5K run, a one-mile walk, a 100-meter heels dash and a heels decorating competition. All the proceeds will benefit WEN, Girls on the Run of Northwest Ohio and Toledo Roadrunners.
WEN Director Alicia Wagner said the event became a collaborative event when WEN joined forces with the Toledo Roadrunners, which had been organizing the Women's Distance Festival for 34 years.
"I'm a big believer in collaboration," Wagner said.
WEN is a networking organization, but Wagner said it's not for solely business networking. It's to help women become better business owners, better wives, better mothers and better overall people.
"We're not your traditional networking group, where you meet people and you pass cards around," Wanger said. "We're really interested in getting to know you. And we know people end up working with people they trust. We really have friendship as our mission. So that takes that personal level into that connection. It's not just the business side of things."
Karen Kiemnec, a WEN member, said she got involved with the group in 2005 to network her business and work with other women.
"Right now, I have a business called Releasing the Ties that Bind," Kiemnec said. "I work with women who have been divorced to regain joy and freedom. These women have become my friends and, because they trust me, they often become my clients a well."
The concept that people work with people they trust is what Wagner said the organization is built upon. She said WEN aims to provide resources for women to improve their businesses and lives overall.
"Our founder, Linda Fayerweather, went to her local chamber back in 1993, and asked what resources were available for women starting businesses, and they basically laughed and said, 'What resources for women?'" Wagner said.
Fayerweather went to Columbus, received a grant and founded WEN. In the past 20 years, the organization has grown to around 200 members.
The different levels of membership in WEN are available to both men and women, and Wagner said about one third of the membership is comprised of men.
"WEN believes that it's through men and women working together that we're going to move women forward in business," Wagner said. "So a third of our membership is men."
WEN is built on three pillars: four networking meetings each month, WEN mini-growth summits with speakers who address different topics and a new online training center where WEN resources and partners are listed online.
"We truly believe that unless you're happy at home, you're not happy at work," Wagner said. "So while we provide development on your business, we also provide all sorts of resources to provide empowerment or all sorts of resources to help you become a better mom or a better wife. We truly believe that it's the total package — we can help make everyone better in life and in their business."
The deadline for the heels decorating contest is 8 p.m. July 31 to Dave's Running Shop, 26567 Dixie Hwy. in Perrysburg. Submitting a pair of heels costs $25, but includes a place to put the contestants' businesses on display next to their heels, a T-shirt, and an entry in the mile walk or the heels race.
Registration for one event is $15 and $20 for two events. Children 12 years old and younger are $5. Applicants can register at www.wen-usa.com/upcoming-event/.

Comments about Chippewa Men's 9" Lace-Up Work Boots:
I had been using these kind of boots for about 10 years. They are the best ever!!! Every pair last me about 2 1/2 to 3 years while working in the freezer in a Cold storage. I'm about to buy my fourth pair. I don't think there's a better insulated boot in the market.

The Law of Attraction in Action: Service People
Every Monday I'll try to post something for my Law of Attraction series that I was motivated to start after watching the You Can Heal Your Life, the movie, expanded version, from Louise Hay. I want to share the lessons I've learned for manifesting a happier life and specific goodies. Today I'll address how I used a spiritual approach, along with the techniques I spell out in my upcoming Nice Girls Can Finish First book (which work for guys as well!), to deal with an ongoing problem with my Apple iBook G4 laptop.
First I'll say I'm a devout Mac-a-holic! I've always bought Apple computers and plan to continue. We Mac-a-holics are known for our loyalty to the brand. And my iBook G4 is absolutely my favorite by far.
As a professional writer, I live in my computer, so I get attached. This laptop fits so perfectly on a table when I take it for brunch or to a coffee shop to do some writing. It's lighter than the others too. But while I love the laptop in general, I didn't love the loud buzzing noises it made, and the quirky irregular patterns I noticed. At first I just lived with it. But, I didn't like my battery burning out suddenly. I got another but after the computer got especially loud and had weird symptoms, the second one went from lasting 4 ½ hours to just over an hour in a day. So I brought it in to the Apple Genius Bar. Since I was under warranty, I got a free battery and a suggestion to have it sent out for repairs.
After several more visits to stop the loud fan noise and other issues, I was tired of the tech guys acting like nothing was wrong with it and they wouldn't let me leave it for repair. Then, almost by divine intervention, my screen suddenly went dark. That was a problem they had to acknowledge and I left it with them in February. Several parts were replaced. I was lucky to be able to borrow a laptop during that time.
After 2 weeks of writing bliss on a quiet laptop, the loud noises resumed. I was writing 2 books at once, along with a few smaller projects, and couldn't afford to be without it. I tried the Genius bar but was again pooh-poohed and only half listened to when I laid out the patterns I'd observed. My warranty was going to expire this week so I needed to do something. Then the same pattern as last time cranked the noise up higher and my battery went again. But I didn't want to have to go back in and argue with someone who might not listen carefully or take my problem seriously.
Each time I went to the store, I felt like they treated me like I imagine a doctor who thinks someone is a hypochondriac does. Since the noises, etc. mainly happened intermittently, and after I'd been working for a while, the tech guys never heard them or saw most of the other things. Or they blamed it on the settings.
So I did what I advise in my book. I went to the Consumer Action website and called the number they had for Apple. I asked for a supervisor when someone answered and was put through to a Product Specialist after I explained my problem, without letting my anger or frustration show. I spoke nicely to the Product Specialist as I explained that I wanted everything recorded, before I brought the laptop in, since I needed it fixed right this time. He listened carefully to my list of symptoms and wrote them down. It was a relief.
The Product Specialist said it was probably the Logic board (which many others who knew Macs had suggested) or the DC inboard. He assured me that he'd made careful notes in my file and he'd monitor the repair. Once again I borrowed a laptop and brought it in, 3 weeks ago. I asked to have it sent out but they insisted on keeping it. Three days later someone called and asked what was wrong with it. I told him the notes were all there but went through it again with him.
The next day, someone else called to say they found the problem—my battery was no good! Hello! That's a symptom, not the cause. I almost went ballistic that no one had read the notes so far or paid attention to all the things that were going wrong. I was back to being treated like a hypochondriac!! I explained the other things that had been happening and he was surprised, like I hadn't told 3 others before him.
Looking back, I expected these guys to not take my complaints seriously and not work fast, and that's what happened! That's the Law of attraction in action—in a way I didn't want!
The next night yet another person called to ask what was wrong, since he thought it was the battery. I took some deep breaths and nicely but firmly explained that I'd had enough of this and needed my computer back—fixed properly. I dropped the emotions behind my expectations of things screwing up and got serious in my intention to get it fixed. I was polite but very serious and he knew it. I firmly said that someone needed to read the notes in my file or I would keep going higher until I got some resolution. It was Sunday so I couldn't call the helpful Product Specialist but I would the next day. The tech guy promised to read the notes.
When I returned from my run early Monday, there was a message from the guy the night before, apologizing and saying they'd replace the 2 major parts the Product Specialist had recommended. The Product Specialist called me back and said if I didn't have it by Friday, fixed to my satisfaction, he'd overnight me a new one. I had it Thursday night. They replaced the logic board and dc inboard, after holding it for 9 days!
But it didn't end here, and I had to use the Law of Attraction to deal positively.
I had 5 days of writing heaven and felt so relaxed not writing on a loud buzzing computer. But on Wednesday I began noticing quirks again. My mouse arrow disappeared for a while. The computer started shutting off randomly on Thursday. I ran right to the Apple store. This time the supervisor saw the big black box that kept popping up saying to reboot due to a problem. He thought it needed a new airport care and said I could leave it overnight Friday and probably have it back the next day, IF that was it.
The blessing? I stopped being treated like a hypochondriac since they saw the problem this time!
When I left it on Friday night, I put it into God's hands to get it back repaired properly on Saturday. I have a major book deadline this week and another book I must work on, so I needed my laptop and couldn't borrow one again. I spent the day out of the city. I didn't feel well all day, which put a damper on my visit with a friend. My body was on edge, which affected me in many ways.
I got a message in the afternoon that the problem was the logic board, which was replaced last week! And, they had none in the store so it had to be sent out. I was truly surprised as I had complete faith that it would be fixed when I got home Saturday night. I got stressed but told my friend I'd pick it up when I got home. I refused to accept I'd be without it again. I didn't call back and trusted that God wouldn't let me down.
While I was very upset over the whole situation, I kept my thoughts on no more drama over the laptop.
On the way home, I felt really lousy from all the stress. Thursday night I'd had to wait 3 hours in the store, like waiting in the emergency room for the doctors to help a loved one ☺ and got home after midnight. Then I had to bring it in Friday night. It affected my sleep both nights. So I was tired, stressed and grouchy. I didn't want to put this negativity out to the Universe and knew I had to turn it around fast!
I began saying positive affirmations and used my newly acquired Reiki skills to turn my situation around. It began on the train ride home and continued as I walked home from the station. "I am very healthy, very happy, very relaxed and very energized. My computer is working fine. All is well in my world." Over and over. As I walked home chanting this, I noticed my hands relax and the knots in my tummy leave. I felt empowered again, relaxed and confident in God's hands.
When I saw a message on my machine when I got home, I said, "good news only!" Unbelievably, a logic board had arrived at the store suddenly. They installed it in my laptop, which was working fine! I could pick it up. As of mid afternoon on a Saturday they didn't stock logic boards for my laptop. but one was delivered late on a weekend. Miracles truly happen when you make the Law of Attraction work for you! I felt lousy, thought about how lousy I felt and continued to feel lousy. When I changed my thoughts, and put some passion behind them, all my ailments disappeared and a logic board suddenly arrived at the Apple store.
I screamed thanks to God, over and over and over. My decision to stop all the negatives threw a switch in me and then the energy and consciousness I put out.
We all have the power to control our outcomes but it's so easy to forget. I encourage others to do it but had to remind myself to put the Law of Attraction into positive action. When you need good service and get into a mindset of expecting a good outcome—before you make the call or go in person. I did that before I called the Product Specialist and have an advocate to help me. When I dropped the negative expectations of the tech guys, good service manifested too.
I will call the Product Specialist now and ask WHEN my new laptop will arrive. ☺ He promised me a new one if it wasn't fixed properly by a week ago Friday and it wasn't. Even now, I have fonts missing and other little things. Who knows when it might give me trouble again? So I do believe I deserve a new laptop based on the promise. That's my expectation to the Universe. I'll let you know WHEN I get it! ☺

I never thought of that. I do get myself worked up when dealing with getting service and I guess I've always manifested poor service because of it. Thanks!

Terrific advice! it's normal to get into a bad mood when dealing with service problems but you're right. It does attract more of a bad mood.

This post speaks to me on so many levels!
First off, I'm conscious of how the LoA plays out everywhere in my life and I love new ideas of how to the law to my advantage. But, as someone who loves his career in Customer service, even without an understanding of the LoA, many of us can tell when a Customer is coming in just spoiling for a fight. These Customers don't realize that all the energy we expend steeling ourselves against their onslaught is energy we could've been using to work on their behalf. Some of these Customers have hooked themselves so deeply to their negative expectations that there is no satisfying them--because a time mchine hasn't been invented yet and we cannot go back in time and undo their previous bad experiences.
Instead, you've offered here a wonderful example of what Abraham-Hicks calls "pre-paving": focusing one's attention (with emotional free-ness) on the positive outcome one desires. It works, as you so clearly demonstrated.
Also, as Reiki practitioner, you might want to amp up that pre-paving by sending Reiki into the future to "pre"-heal the interaction. I like to think of it as a double-whammy of good vibes for everyone!

Thanks for sharing Paul. I agree that many people EXPECT a fight and come in with that energy. It's normal human behavior. I love the Abraham-Hicks concepts and do that all the time. While I do use Reiki since why not use everything I've got, I find that expecting, really EXPECTING an outcome, will bring it on. I say thanks in advance and affirm it with passion. It's a lovely power that we all have.
And BTW: An Apple service person said that in my file, it does say that if I have any more problems that I get a free new laptop! So far this one is working well and I like it better than the new model so I'm expecting it to be fine.

I actually started to tear up reading this one, feeling your frustration! How wonderful that you were able to turn your energy toward the positive!
- August 20, 2009 at 6:06 PM
- Daylle Deanna Schwartz said...
Thanks Heather! And if you read my later posts, you'll see I did get a new $2,000 laptop (much better than my last one) overnighted to me when I had my next problem.

Hilbert 'Blueprint' Promotes Well-Rounded Student Experience And Learning
- Release Date:
- September 4, 2013
- Contact:
- Matt Heidt, email@example.com
- 716-926-8792
HAMBURG, N.Y. – Over the last six years, Hilbert College has crafted a plan promoting a four-year college experience that will bolster student involvement and leadership potential – The Hilbert Blueprint.
The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years. The 'blueprint' begins with the Foundations Seminar – a key piece to the First-Year Experience, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and concludes with the Senior Capstone.
The latest addition to complete the Hilbert Blueprint is the component of a service-learning requirement within Hilbert's curriculum. The Hilbert Blueprint, as a whole, supports Hilbert's mission of embracing its Catholic Franciscan heritage and values and educating diverse students to become informed citizens committed to serving and strengthening their communities.
"Service is indeed at the heart and soul of Franciscan values and the Franciscan intellectual tradition," Hilbert President Cynthia Zane said. "The power of service learning comes from its nexus of classroom learning and the application of knowledge."
"Building service learning into the curriculum is consistent with the data that shows experiential learning of all sorts is retained better," Hilbert Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Christopher Holoman said.
Hilbert prides itself on promoting experiential learning through an engaging, student-centered campus community and providing leadership, internship, and service-learning opportunities.
First-Year Experience/Foundations Seminar
All incoming freshman are required to participate in the First-Year Experience and the Foundations Seminar. This is designed to get all students acquainted with the college experience and includes participation in a minimum of four 'passport' activities on campus. All first year students will participate in the Hilbert College Reads program. Each student will receive a complimentary copy of the year's selected text and potentially have an opportunity to meet the author.
Sophomore Service
Students are obligated to take one course with a service-learning requirement. Service-learning requirements are unique to each class. In some classes, the entire class may work together on one single project that benefits the community and meets a community need. In other courses, students may be provided the opportunity to complete a service-learning activity by selecting an organization or project from a list of pre-approved community partners and activities. These activities are linked to the classroom curriculum and help meet a need in the community.
Junior Symposium
Three professors from different disciplines teach the mandatory Junior Symposium course, which encourages students to follow current events and introduces The New York Times as daily reading. Juniors engage in active debates and student-led discussions, which encourage participants to disagree civilly.
Senior Capstone
The Hilbert College Blueprint culminates with the Senior Capstone. Unique to each department, the capstone could be – but is not limited to – a project, internship, or research paper. The Senior Capstone is designed to synthesize the student's four-year educational experience and support the college's mission to produce 'informed citizens committed to serving and strengthening their communities.'
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

To prepare for the day he'd been waiting for, John Blair, formerly of Clayton, donned a white and black civilian service uniform. He polished his silver trumpet, the one he first played back in 1985 as a high school junior. He packed the instrument carefully in its leather bag and drove through a clear May morning to Arlington National Cemetery.
There, he joined about 200 other buglers and trumpeters who gathered Saturday, May 19, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the composing of taps – the spare, melancholy call that has long been a traditional part of military funerals and services and is used to signal "lights out" at U.S. military bases around the world.
The buglers had come from across the country for the simple ceremony. For many, including Blair, it would be their first and perhaps only opportunity to sound the famous melody on Arlington's hallowed ground.
Blair, 43, is the state director of Bugles Across America for Virginia and the District of Columbia. He is devoted to the nonprofit organization's goal of ensuring that all veterans have a bugler to play at their funerals, in part because he was unable to play for his own father's memorial service in 2000.
Thanks to a local high school trumpet player, Blair's family was spared having to play a recording of taps at the service. But Blair was distraught that he couldn't sound the call for his father himself.
On Saturday, Blair and his fellow buglers sounded taps three times: twice all together at the cemetery's Old Amphitheater and once from various stations across the grounds, just after the noon chimes.
Blair stood in Section 34, at the grave of Frank Buckles, the last U.S. veteran of World War I to die. The grave was more than a thousand miles from where Blair's father, a decorated Korean War veteran, was buried 12 years ago in Clayton, Okla. But Blair was sounding the call for him, too.
"For him and for all the heroes everywhere," Blair said.
By 10 a.m. Saturday, onlookers filled the sunny center of Arlington's Old Amphitheater, high on a hill overlooking the monuments and landmarks of Washington. Buglers circled the perimeter, men and women of all ages, instruments in hand. They were clad in formal attire from different chapters of history – modern and historical military uniforms, Boy Scout uniforms, police uniforms.
Together, they became one voice during the first mass sounding of taps, and then a chorus of harmonized instruments during the second. The notes soared, strong enough to drown even the sound of a low-flying jet.
On most days, a passerby at Arlington might hear the singular call of taps echoing from one corner of the cemetery or another, among the rows of white gravestones.
But just after noon on Saturday, something remarkable happened: The stillness gave way to the plaintive calls of hundreds of distinct brass voices, the familiar notes rising from every acre of the sprawling grounds.
In Section 34, facing Buckles's headstone, John Blair whispered a prayer and pressed his trumpet to his lips. He sounded the simple lines of music with even breaths – for the last known U.S. veteran of World War I, for the fallen in the surrounding fields, for his father.
The calls came rolling over the hills in gentle rounds, each one slightly different, reflecting the subtle variations of instruments and their owners. For several minutes, the place was overwhelmed by the sound. Then the last, faint notes dissolved in the soft afternoon breeze, and quiet fell again.

Graduate Academic Catalog 2011-2012
The university's academic rules and regulations are developed and approved by the faculty. The set of processes used to enforce regulations and maintain order are called administrative procedures. In general, each academic rule has an underlying administrative procedure.
For example, the criteria against which a student is judged for graduation is developed and approved by the faculty. The process that is used to examine records and declare a student eligible to graduate is an administrative procedure.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.>/Inigo Montoya>
Negotiations involve a give and take, a mutual compromise. The Verge uses the words negotiations, but it mentions only repeated presentations to convince Samsung they were infringing, not any inducements, or offers of compromise. A "you are wrong, and that's THAT" sort of attitude.
If Samsung felt they were doing nothing wrong, either because they felt they were not infringing or because they thought the patents were invalid, there was absolutely no reason for them to stop. Apple could offer inducements (i.e. you stop using these patents and we'll sign a long term deal with your display division) but there is no evidence that Apple did anything other than threaten to assert their patents.
To forestall the obvious response, YES I know that most readers here think Samsung is guilty. The point is what SAMSUNG thought at the time. If Samsung thought they could prevail, they would perceive any threats by Apple as empty saber-rattling. Apple could then choose to back off the threats and make it worth Samsung's while, or double down and take them to court. Obviously, Apple chose the latter.
Apple gave Samsung plenty of notice before "going thermonuclear" with patent lawsuits
As the patent battle between Samsung and Apple continues to drag on, Apple claims that they had tried to settle out of court between July and September 2010, before this whole hooplah started. This is important, because it would indicate that Samsung was fully aware of the patents it was infringing upon. The court filing where Apple claims these previous negotiations reads:
On or about August 4, 2010, Apple representatives met with Samsung in Korea and showed a presentation titled 'Samsung's Use of Apple Patents in Smartphones.' This presentation emphasized Samsung's copying of the iPhone and identified two of the patents-in-suit (the '002 and '381 patents), giving Samsung actual notice of at least these patents, and many more. On or about August 26, 2010, Apple sent Samsung an electronic archive file containing claim charts further illustrating Samsung's infringement of Apple patents. A presentationdocument that accompanied these claim charts identified the '002 and '381 patents as two patents that Samsung products infringed, and it substantiated these allegations with text from the patents and photographs of Samsung devices illustrating infringing functionality. Apple later presented these slides to Samsung at a meeting in Cupertino, California on or about September 9, 2010.
The disagreements between Samsung and Apple span design to 3G, and even the slide to unlock paradigm. Even as some of these complaints are resolved, there's no doubt that these two wireless giants will be grappling for months (if not years) to come.
It's also interesting given the comments made by Steve Jobs in his official biography, where he said he considered Android "grand theft" of iPhone ideas
"I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong," Jobs said. "I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this."
Jobs reportedly told then Google CEO and former Apple board member, Eric Schmidt:
"I don't want your money. If you offer me $5 billion, I won't want it. I've got plenty of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, that's all I want."
So if Apple tried to negotiate, it likely wasn't for money but for Samsung (and other Android manufacturers) to stop using what he considered "Apple ideas". While Microsoft has been successful in getting Android manufacturers to pay them licensing fees, and they might have been amenable to working out a similar deal with Apple, simply removing functionality from their products could have been a deal-breaker.
Essentially, Microsoft seems content with merely making Android more expensive, while Apple wan't to make it less usable. Both want to make it less attractive, but Microsoft is targeting vendors,
It's hard to see the negotiations getting settled if those were the terms.

Apple gave Samsung plenty of notice before "going thermonuclear" with patent lawsuits
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.>/Inigo Montoya>
Steve was a little off his rocker with regards to Android's "stolen" ideas. Android actually began development back in 2005 prior to the iPhone's release, and before Google was involved with it. So unless he wants to accuse his own staff of leaking info that far back, it's kinda funny. Truth is, you cant patent a rectangle with rounded corners. GM might as well patent a car with four wheels or two headlights.
Yes, it did look like an iphone since Google had multiple prototypes at that time, including an all touchscreen device. The blackberry type was shown a lot, but there were more designs.http://www.osnews.com/story/25264/DidAndroidReallyLookLikeBlackBerryBeforetheiPhone_
Steve had a point. I mean, they both make phone calls and have touch screens.
Wait, Apple didn't pioneer either of those ideas either.
Must admit the pull down notification window that came out in iOS4 looks mighty familiar.
It's all give and take, apple needs to let this go and move on.
Gesture on the iPads are unique 4 finger swipe on screen opens multi tasking while bezels on blackberry are gestures and in now you can't expect for other OS to not use gestures no one patented that but you wanna talk about copying hp touch pad and webos products got ripped off by blackberry in interface and gestures
"Apple claims that they had tried to settle out of court between July and September 2010, before this whole hooplah started. This is important, because it would indicate that Samsung was fully aware of the patents it was infringing upon."
Or it could indicate that Samsung saw Apple's claims and tactics as SCOish or even worse, RIAAish.
We think you're violating patents, so pay us a ton of money and we won't take you to court.
I'm still confused why Apple seems to be asserting patents that are for IMO unimportant elements such as the unlock slider. One of the first things Mr. Jobs said in 2007 was that boy did they patent multi-touch stuff on the iPhone. Why are they not asserting their strongest and most important patents?
All that happens by asserting things like the unlock slider and what ever other mundane UI elements is people post in the comments how Android was really in development before the iPhone etc. No one is disputing who started developing the OS first. Apple's entire issue is they see companies using their ideas on their phones. They do not want these things to be standards or used by anyone else. Their business model is making and selling products. Microsoft's is licensing software. Google's is selling ads. Apple is simply trying to protect their business model; same as Microsoft and Google.
This is the perfect defense IF: None of iOS was copied from android. Since that's obviously not true, patent reform is far behind the curve. Things that you should not be able to patent: Rectangular device with round corners, Menus that scroll up and down, Desktops with icons on them which scroll left to right,... Am I making any sense? As far as I can tell these are the kinds of "Ideas" that Steve was fuming over. Problem is other devices already had similar ideas over 10 years previous. The only thing the iPhone did was make them finger-friendly and improve the touchscreen by using glass(although I'm pretty sure that capacitive touch was already around)...
I'm sorry I'm a iPhone user and soon to be Apple Genius Employee but in this argument I don't see how Steve could claim that Android stole from Apple, Can you hello Palm Apple ripped them off when it comes to the OS so bad its not even funny. Then let's not get into the Notification pull down why is it that they can take and add features from other OS but the second they believe that someone took something from them they want to go and I quote "THERMONUCLEAR" on someone?
This is nothing more than Samsung doing what they've done for ages and acting surprised that someone got upset. I used to work indirect years ago and I asked both our Samsung and LG reps why their phones looked identical to the others. They both said they were HQ'd almost across the street from each other and corporate espionage is normal in South Korea and since they both ripped off equally no one was upset. Well they thought they could rip off again and no one would be upset, but they messed up by picking A) a US company and B) Apple. If Apple presented them with proof of infringement, but didn't threaten, they probably just thought "Okay, neat, thanks for stopping by" like they've done for years. It wasn't until Apple started taking them to court that they finally realized this wasn't okay.

May 14, 2012 (Hartsdale, N.Y.) - Descending on the newly renamed Pittsburgh Racing Complex, d'Orlando Racing pilots, Michael and Nicholas d'Orlando would look to continue momentum gained at the previous events. Fresh off of podium results at both the World Karting Association (WKA) Manufacturer's Cup event in South Carolina and a Northeast Rotax Max Challenge event at Oakland Valley Race Park, the duo would return to WKA action in Wampum, Pennsylvania.
With multiple classes for each and every age group, Michael would compete in the Cadet Junior Sportsman and Yamaha Junior Sportsman division on both Saturday and Sunday while younger brother Nicholas would do battle in the Yamaha Rookie class. Progressing through the unofficial practice day on Friday, the d'Orlando brothers immediately showed their ability to quickly adapt to the changing conditions and were set to hit the track Saturday morning for qualifying runs before wheel-to-wheel action would take place later that day.
Michael would be the first of the two drivers to hit the track on Saturday as he would open his campaign with pole position until settling into a third place result in the late stages of the three lap timed qualifying session. Falling back in the prefinal to finish sixth, Michael would battle hard in the main event to move into a podium position. In the final circuit, the New York resident was poised for the third place result and went for a pass with three corners remaining but was unable to complete the move. Losing momentum, Michael fell to the seventh position when he crossed the stripe, narrowly missing the podium.
Looking for redemption in the Yamaha Junior Sportsman division, Michael would start the day off with a ninth place qualifying run. With the goal to move forward through the heat race, d'Orlando would be caught up in an incident and was forced to start from the tail of the field on the restart. When the green flag flew, Michael was aggressive into the first complex of corners but was collected in another incident proving the difficulties from starting near the tail of the field.
Starting the main event in the 34th position, Michael charged inside the top twenty and then top fifteen as he began to mount a charge for a top ten result. Working with a fellow Kosmic driver to march their way through the field, Michael marched to the top ten with three laps remaining before an equipment failure would send him down the running order..
Entering the Yamaha Rookie class, Nicholas would start his Saturday competition with a ninth place qualifying effort out of a field of 24. Much like his older brother, Nicholas ran into some trouble in the prefinal while running in the sixth position. Contact would force the up and coming pilot to retire from the heat.
Being forced to start the main event from the tail of the field, Nicholas had a spirited drive forward to claim a ninth place result after the race was shortened by three laps due to a red flag situation.
Sunday morning would prove to be a difficult one for both Michael and Nicholas as the duo would run into additional problems during all three of their qualifying efforts, as Michael would fail to post a lap in the timed session and start his racing action from the tail of the Cadet Junior Sportsman division.
Charging forward in the prefinal to claim the 17th position, Michael advanced further forward in the main event to lead the second group of karts as he ran in the sixth position. Unable to catch the lead five karts, Michael would finally catch a break as the race was stopped for an injured driver with five laps remaining. Lining up single file for the restart, Michael would advance forward as the young field of competitors would go two and three wide on the final few circuits. When the dust had finally settled, Michael would cross the stripe in the fourth position, bringing home his second WKA National podium.
After qualifying 20th in the Yamaha Junior Sportsman division, Michael would be forced to retire from the prefinal, thus starting the final from the 34th and last position. After a spirited drive, the eldest of the d'Orlando pilots would advance forward to garner a 17th place result.
Much of the same would happen for Nicholas in the Yamaha Rookie class, as the young pilot was unable to turn a lap up to par in qualifying. Starting shotgun in the prefinal, and a successful engine change completed, a determined Nicholas drove like a seasoned veteran as he moved forward to claim the inside row five starting position for the main event. Wanting more in the main event, Nicholas advanced to the sixth position, a mere one step off the five-position WKA podium.
Michael and Nicholas d'Orlando would like to thank their team J3 Competition, and their engine builder Doug Fleming of Fleming Race Engines for their efforts to date in 2012.
Next on the docket for d'Orlando Racing will be a private event for a group of third and fourth graders at their home facility of Oakland Valley Race Park before returning to regional action.
