PewterReport.com Buccaneers beat writer and Tampa native Mark Cook shares his personal, heartfelt thoughts on the passing of Tampa Bay's legendary defensive end Lee Roy Selmon, who died at the age of 56 on Sunday after suffering a serious stroke last Friday.
Back in the 1980's, one of my writing heroes, Lewis Grizzard, wrote a book titled, "Elvis Is Dead, And I Don't Feel So Good Myself."
Sunday night as I sit there numb, thinking about the death of number 63 – Buccaneers legend Lee Roy Selmon – from a stroke he suffered on Friday, I would like to steal Grizzard's title, but change the name "Elvis" to "Lee Roy." My head spins, my heart hurts and I have tried to blink myself from this bad dream.
As a person who has followed the Buccaneers since a child, the passing of my hero breaks my heart. The first game I ever saw the Buccaneers play on television was Tampa Bay's first franchise win in 1977 against the New Orleans Saints. Not knowing the history of the 26-game losing streak, I assumed this was a pretty good football team. Little did I know the heartbreak I would suffer over the years watching this team.
But even in those tough years there were always a few bright spots.
The 1978 team got better and by 1979 the Buccaneers would host the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC divisional playoffs at the old Tampa Stadium. I remember that Saturday afternoon vividly as our television at our home had recently broken. Not wanting to miss this historic moment, my Dad and I walked down to my grandmother's house and watched the game from there. Ricky Bell ran for 142 yards, Jimmie Giles caught a touchdown pass and Lee Roy Selmon became a permanent fixture on Ron Jaworski's back that day.
My wife and I bought my grandmother's house after her passing in 1995, and as I write this, I sit in the same living room where I witnessed that initial win in franchise history, and where two years later I saw the Buccaneers hand the Eagles a 24-17 defeat.

Student Center >> Considering Nursing >> Nursing school and felony conviction
Nursing school and felony conviction
2 posts back to top |
Posted over 6 years ago Hello All..
The house was rented in my name so that is why I was given a possession charge. I never had any jail time and it's been ten years. I have two children now, back in school and trying to find out if I can go into the nursing program. Please don't send me messages about what I did wrong. I am now with my daughter's father for ten years, have a daughter with special needs, and am looking to get into this field and secure a future. Please tell me if you all think I have a chance or not with this felony. The charge came from another state from which I live now. I live in Lehigh Valley , PA. |

| Posted about 6 years ago Hi Sasha, You may also want to consider having you records sealed or expunged. This means that the conviction will not show when they investigate your background, it is 100% legal ,you can get the documents you need to statrt the process at your local Court house (clerk of the court office). Good luck and God Bless |

| Posted about 6 years ago Sasha, you can start a nursing program, and even graduate with a felony conviction. Nursing schools, as a general rule, do not do criminal background checks. But the Board of Nursing does, in all states now. Policies on granting licensure vary from state to state. As a general rule, Boards are not inclined to license anyone with a conviction on a violent crime. Drug possession is a different story; they may be more lenient. Check with the PA board and see if there is a time limit on the conviction. As a felon, there may or may not be. Getting your record expunged could help since it's been such a long time, or applying for a pardon from the Governor. That would also restore your voting rights, btw. If the Board does take issue with your conviction, you can request a hearing before the Board to plead your case. They may want you to undergo a treatment program and be supervised when working with controlled substances for a period of time. I would get the issue resolved in writing before applying to nursing school. |

The long, happy marriage of Cabela's and Sidney is breaking new ground.
They're planning to build a house.
Not just one house, but hundreds. And hundreds.
Cabela's, the outdoor retailing giant, is teaming up with Sidney — its partner of 43 years — to launch the largest development project in the western Nebraska city's history and help ease the growing community's chronic housing shortage.
As many as 800 housing lots could be developed on farmland on the east edge of Sidney in coming years. The site is down the hill north from where a Cabela's corporate and retail campus dominates an Interstate 80 exit. The 480-acre housing site will also include a new hospital and possibly parks, trails and commercial development.
City officials estimate the value of the multiyear project at $400 million or more. Sidney's current valuation is $410 million.
"This is a game-changer for Sidney,'' said City Manager Gary Person. "Buckle up, because this is going to be one of the most exciting eras in Sidney's history."
Tommy Millner, Cabela's chief executive, said the plan reflects the company's commitment to Sidney, "which is where we want to stay and grow."
Cabela's recently bought, or has an option to purchase, most of the development site. Sidney Regional Medical Center owns a 40-acre site in the middle of the expansion zone for a proposed $40 million facility.
Cabela's hired MIG/Winston of Boulder, Colo., a community planning firm, to develop a master plan as part of its investment in the project.
Once the master plan is finalized next spring, developers and homebuilders will be invited to start constructing dwellings and other structures in phases. The development is expected to include everything from apartment buildings to single-family houses of all sizes.
Millner said it was vital for the company to help expand and diversify Sidney's housing stock for the good of the community.
The nearly 2,000 Cabela's employees in Sidney represent about a quarter of the community's workforce. There are 8,000 jobs — defined by paychecks issued by Sidney employers — in the city of 6,800 people.
Other major employers include a medical center, a specialty high-tech wire manufacturer, a trucking, rail and warehousing logistics company and several agricultural- and oil-industry operations.
"We're not a normal rural town. We're the square peg that doesn't fit in the round hole," said Person, who also is the city's economic development director.
Workers travel from dozens of communities in western Nebraska, northeast Colorado and eastern Wyoming to Sidney jobs. Some drive in from as far away as North Platte (118 miles), Scottsbluff (86 miles), Alliance (79 miles) and Ogallala (68 miles) in Nebraska; and Cheyenne, Wyo. (100 miles); and Sterling, Colo. (42 miles).
"We're struggling to get the housing we need to match our growth," Person said.
Cabela's phenomenal expansion across North America since moving to Sidney from nearby Chappell in 1969 — and especially since the 1991 debut of its signature retail store in Sidney — goosed Sidney's growth.
The 1990 population was 5,959, or 12 percent lower than today. Most rural Nebraska areas have suffered population declines for several generations. Among the 39 counties west of Kearney in central Nebraska, only six grew during the decade ending in 2010, according to the Center for Public Affairs Research at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
One of those was Cheyenne County, where Sidney is the county seat.
Newcomers to Sidney, regardless of who or what brought them to town, have struggled in recent years to find the type of housing they desired. Some settled in nearby communities or in the countryside.
The housing shortage affects every employer in the community, said Person, who has worked with numerous developers over the past two decades, often with limited success. It has been a struggle to convince investors of Sidney's need for 100 market-rate apartments, for example, much less the 1,000 apartment units the community probably needs, he said.
"Selling rural America out in the extreme edge of western Nebraska is at times a tough gig," he said. "Outside investors always raise the 'what if' questions. 'What if Cabela's left town? What if this? What if that?' Bankers in Timbuktu, on the outside looking in, don't believe our numbers.''
The new residential and commercial development venture should retire the skepticism, Person said.
"This is Cabela's home and it's where their future is. If there was even the slightest doubt about that, this development puts it to rest.''
The process begins next week with community meetings to hear suggestions to help shape the scope and direction of the project. Planners intend to develop a design tailored specifically for Sidney, said Millissa Berry, a senior planner at MIG/Winston.
The last 75 houses built in Sidney during the past four years cost an average of $225,000 apiece.
"The new development will probably ratchet it up a notch or two,'' Person said.
Millner said the project is a great opportunity for Sidney to grow in a thoughtful way. Cabela's anticipates continued headquarters growth over the next several years as the hunting, fishing and camping outfitter adds more stores to its current lineup of 40 across the continent. Twelve have been announced so far.
Gary Hamer, deputy director of the Nebraska Department of Economic Development in Lincoln, said the project reflects a strong partnership between a community and a company to overcome a common rural housing hurdle. Cabela's has a vested interest in housing, Hamer said.
"They can't attract the workforce they need and grow without it,'' Hamer said. "This is a corporate citizen stepping up to help solve a problem."
House building hasn't been dormant in Sidney. About 700 houses and apartments have been built during the past 15 years. But it hasn't been enough.
Person said the need is critical.
"Sidney needed to do this now. Not talk about it,'' he said.
Person said housing was the missing piece of a growth puzzle. The city has the water supply and infrastructure it needs, a new high school building and recently completed airport improvements. Voters earlier this month overwhelmingly approved an extra half-cent sales tax for a variety of infrastructure improvements, including a new swimming pool.
Not counting the new housing initiative, more than $110�million in public and private development is planned in the community during the next few years.
In addition to the $40 million medical center, other development includes $31 million for two business projects and $9 million by Cabela's to redevelop its former downtown corporate offices and retail store.
"Everyone should now know how serious this community is about building a great future,'' Person said. "We're done playing in the minor leagues. We want to play in the majors.''
Learn more about the development
Two public open houses are planned at the Cheyenne County Community Center in Sidney for residents to view potential development plans and designs, ask questions and provide comments.
Dec. 5: 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Dec. 6: Noon to 2 p.m.; a final community meeting from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Other time slots are scheduled each day for specific audiences, such as adjacent property owners, school district and community college officials, local businesses and others.

A couple weeks ago, I was talking to a group of friends, all in different stages of life. One was pregnant, one had just gotten out of a relationship, and one was starting to think about looking for a new job. Somehow, in the course of the afternoon, talk turned to the dating game. The friend who'd just gotten out of a serious relationship was less than thrilled about the prospect of putting herself back out there. She said, "I just found a great job after all these interviews! I don't want to go through that whole thing again when it comes to my heart!" We realized something. Finding a fulfilling career and finding a life partner are two of the most important decisions in a person's life.

Nest & Egg
The dollar has taken another step down of late. One position I have had for about ten months has been exposure to the Norwegian krone via what was two year paper when I bought it (I have disclosed this position quite a few times since I put it on).
When I first went in USDNOK was around 5.95, I see it printing now around 4.98 which is a huge move (the smaller the number the stronger the Norwegian). Norway is a strong country economically so that isn't so strange but Hungary, for example, has a slew of problems yet the greenback is down 8% YTD against the forint.
I have never been real sure about quantifying where the dollar could go. I think it is right to be positioned for more weakness but I think the slope of the decline might be a little less going forward. I have thought that for a while but that is the sort of thing most people don't need to right about (meaning magnitude).
I am warming up to the StateStreet International Inflation ETF (WIP). I bought it for a couple of new clients, I bought a few shares for my SEP and will probably integrate into more client accounts over the next few weeks.
If the dollar continues lower (regardless of how quickly) WIP should do well but if the dollar goes up in a meaningful way it will be a big drag for WIP. My hope for this is that it would be a boring hold but that every few months I'll notice that its up a few percent or so.
If you look at the back test for it you will see a huge move up for this but I would not bet on that repeating itself.

I first came to LV in 1989 for a fraternity function. I am staying in a hotel on the strip that was in the middle of a giant patch of desert.
The change since my first visit is astounding, I can only imagine the diff from 1972.
Any-whoo the dollar index is 57% (i think that's the number?) euro and the yen is a big one in there too. it seems that those two often work against each other in terms of movement such that a well researched single currency is, IMO, a more effiecient way to go.
YTD UDN is up but lagging quite a few single currency products. - 7:54 AM

In your opinion what is the near term and long term future for the Ag plays like Pot, AGU, MOS? Do they still have legs and is it too late to get in? Some of these stocks are up #0 _ 50%. since the first of the year.

Dayton —
A trio of events may prove critical in the ongoing fight between Delphi salaried retirees and the government over the retirees' pensions.
• This month, attorneys for the retirees will question officials of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., or PBGC, during depositions under oath. The retirees sued the PBGC in federal court more than three years ago after the agency agreed to take on the retirees' pensions from a then-bankrupt Delphi in July 2009.
• A report from the Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (also called SIGTARP) in its own probe into the matter is expected to be released soon.
• In February, U.S. Reps. Mike Turner, R-Dayton, and Tim Ryan, D-Niles, announced the creation of a congressional task force to unify several committee and sub-committee investigations into the federal government's treatment of pensions of more than 20,000 retired Delphi managers and engineers.
Retirees have pursued their case for more than three years in court and in the arena of public opinion, while the federal government has consistently stood by its actions.
The dispute became a subject of debate between the November election campaigns of President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
The dispute started in 2009 when a then-bankrupt Delphi relinquished pension obligations to the PBGC, a government-supported backstop for private pensions. The PBGC subsequently cut the retirees' pensions by up to 70 percent.
General Motors, which once owned Delphi and remains an important Delphi auto parts customer, paid hourly retirees to ensure they received their full pensions, spending $1 billion even though GM went through its own bankruptcy stint in 2009.
Salaried retirees want the same consideration, and 4,500 of them have invested $3.5 million in their federal lawsuit against the PBGC. Officials for the PBGC and the Obama administration say the agency and administration have followed the law.
"We're doing really, really well, despite all their resistance," said Washington Twp. resident and Delphi management retiree Tom Rose. "My standard question is, 'If you haven't done anything wrong, what are you hiding?'"
White House spokeswoman Amy Brundage said "the decisions surrounding the Delphi salaried pension plan were made by the PBGC in accordance with its standard procedures and applicable laws, not by the White House or the Treasury Department.
"Although the Delphi bankruptcy was very difficult for its employees and retirees, the actions the administration took to support the American auto industry helped save more than a million American jobs during a period of economic crisis and saved an entire American industry," Brundage said.
There are about 2,000 local Delphi retirees affected by the pension cuts, Rose, 66, has estimated. He added that more than 800 Delphi Salaried Retirees Association members in the Dayton area.
The retirees regard the depositions as crucial. .
"They're under oath," said Springboro resident Tom Green, 63, who once managed the former Delphi plant on Needmore Road. "We finally get the chance to ask them whatever questions that we choose, and they have to answer."
Rose declined to identify which PBGC officials will be deposed.
The Inspector General's report could shed light on whether and how the government shepherded General Motors' and Delphi's decisions dealing with retiree pensions. The office has already said in a May 2012 letter to Turner and other lawmakers that it "believes that the (federal) Auto Task Force played a role in the pension decision."
The former Presidential Task Force on the Auto Industry advised the president on auto-related matters and reviewed the restructuring of both General Motors and Chrysler, which also went through bankruptcy in 2009.
Retirees and their allies contend that government agencies release documents and information only slowly and grudgingly. At other times, they say, reams of irrelevant information are released, a tactic that forces hours of fruitless searches.
Last September, attorneys for the PBGC rejected the idea of non-binding mediation between the agency and the retirees — after initially seeming open to the idea, according to the legal liaison for the retirees.
A spokesman for the PBGC declined to answer questions, but released a prepared statement that said, "The Delphi salaried retirees want to enter into talks to try to reach a settlement in which PBGC would pay them more in benefits than federal law allows. That's something we legally can't do."
The retirees have heard that argument and reject it.
"They can have GM do it for us (restore our pensions)," Greene said. "They can have the new (post-bankruptcy) Delphi do it."
The retirees fight with urgency because the dispute has already taken nearly four years and could take still more years to resolve — years not all the retirees may have. That frustrates Marlane Bengry, 63, a Delphi salaried retiree who lives in Bellbrook.
"My taxes go to fight my own lawyers," Bengry said. "It's bizarre."
The former auto task force has quietly ended its daily work. But Turner, an advocate for the retirees, said he believes the PBGC is feeling increasingly vulnerable.
"I think we're going to see some great revelations coming out," he said.
Sen. Sherrod Brown has not reintroduced in the current Congress legislation that would have the federal government sell shares of GM in order to raise funds to make the salaried pensions whole, said Lauren Kulik, a spokeswoman for Brown. That legislation was first introduced in September, in the previous Congress. Asked about the prospect of introducing the bill anew, Kulik said the senator remains involved with the retirees.
Brown and Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., wrote last week to Josh Gotbaum, PBGC director, asking Gotbaum to provide a "timetable" on when the PBGC will issue "final benefit determinations" for all Delphi retirees, salaried and hourly.
New retirees received estimated PBGC benefits in late 2009 while current retirees were slated to start receiving adjustments the next year. Final calculations of benefits continue, Brown's office said.

Venice in May!
I will be an Artist in Residence at The Scuola Internazionale di Grafica from May 10 – May 31, 2013. I will be working on a series of etchings made in homage to Galileo, who in 1609 introduced his telescope on top of St Marks Bell tower. The studio is a beautifully equipped print and bookmaking facility, and of course, there is the beauty and history of Venice from which to draw inspiration. I will post updates here as I move ahead with this project.
A new project I'm working on
Bartram's Box Remix is a collaborative project between the Center for the Art in Wood and Philadelphia's Bartram's Garden, the historic garden of 18th century explorer and bontanist John Bartram.
Philadelphia poet Beth Feldman Brandt and I are collaborating on this piece that will explore three themes, The Journeys, The Storms and the Caretakers. The work deconsists of 3 handmade boxes that each contain a scroll of illustarions, a commonplace book with Beth's poems and quotes from the writings of the Bartram family and artifacts from various trees.
I will post the dates of the exhibits when they have been determined.

I am thankful for having the oppertunity to get together and fish and spend time with turnip, rabbit & (Carol), canepole, Dave and Nancy at the fingerlakes meet. I'm thankful to have had my wife come along. I'm thankful for my wife and I to have been blessed to be able to camp and fish as much as we diid this past summer. It was my pleasure and honor to have met Canepole, he is a standup guy. Every thing Pete told me about him was true.
Now what is it that you are thankful for?
I'm thankful that between my savings, unemployment and severance money from my job in May 2008 that I was able to move back to Wisconsin and spend some time with my Mom, as she will be 80 next spring. No other family members visit her....and though it disgusts me....at least I'm here for her. I don't think I could have been blessed with a better Mom than she has been over the years.
I'm ALSO thankful for ALL of you on this website that have become my friends...and am especially thankful for those of you that I have met and that stay in contact with me through emails and phonecalls. Your friendship is TRULY cherished...and I hope it continues.
Last...but NOT least...I'm thankful for God's love and caring....and the various Angels that watch over me.

I am thankful that I have a wife and two beautiful girls that keep me busy enough to stay off this site as much as I used to be on here.
I'm also thankful that Daves mother had such an impact on him that he chose to move back to be close to her, and step up when other family members wouldn't.
I'm also thankful that I can leave this site for a bit, and still be welcomed with open arms when I get back. Everyone here has taught me a bunch.
Thank you guys/ gals. Happy Thanksgiving.
I am so thankful for friends and family. Especially thankful this year for my daughter who is two days over due with my first grandchild, a boy to teach all of the finer things the Great Northwest has to offer. For my health returning to be able to enjoy the many years ahead.
I know thanksgiving is over. But I have some thing more that I'm thankful for.

LOS ANGELES RTI International Metals Inc. has begun commercial titanium production at its new Virginia mill products facility as commercial aircraft builder Airbus SAS emphasized the plants importance to its escalating metal requirements.
The $135-million plant in Martinsville will give Pittsburgh-based RTI an additional 14 million pounds of mill product capacity a year through its forging cell, although rolling capacity is also planned. Its existing Niles, Ohio, facility has a capacity of 22 million to 23 million pounds a year.
The initial production of aerospace product culminates a 10-month certification testing process at Martinsville, which became operational last year.
RTI is Toulouse, France-based Airbus "largest North American titanium supplier", RTI vice chairwoman, president and chief executive officer Dawne S. Hickton said in a statement.
In 2008, when the Virginia plant was first announced, RTI said the site would support its role in the production of Lockheed Martins F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. However, as the aircraft program subsequently suffered delays, RTIs role with European commercial transport builder Airbus SAS and parent European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co. N.V. (EADS) grew.
"This new plant offers us greater material support due to RTIs increased capacity to produce titanium raw material, not only for our A350 XWB (Extra Wide Body) aircraft, but to an extended number of EADS and Airbus supply chain partners," Eric Zanin, senior vice president of material procurement for EADS and Airbus, said in a statement.
Zanin told the International Titanium Association (ITA) meeting in Atlanta earlier this week that as output ramps up for the new A350 and other programs, its titanium requirement would grow significantly over the next decade.
Airbus titanium purchases are projected to climb to 5,558 tonnes of plate in 2015, from 2,919 tonnes (about 6.4 million pounds) in 2011 and to 3,176 tonnes for round products from 1,784 tonnes, according to Zanin. Airbus is projected to purchase 7,492 tonnes of plate and 3,902 tonnes of round products in 2020, he added.
When asked if Airbus escalating requirements would be a strain on the companys suppliers, Zanin told AMM that hes confident the Martinsville plant would play a key role in meeting those growing needs.
Each A350 airframe has 150,000 pounds of titanium buy weight, Hickton told the ITA meeting.

Wellness Center to Offer Arthritis Water Exercise Program
05- 10- 2010
Spartanburg, S.C. - The University of South Carolina Upstate will offer a water exercise program designed to help control and reduce arthritis pain starting June 1 in the Wellness Center pool, located in the Health Education Complex.
There are three sections of the program which will each run for two months, ending by July 30. All instructors are trained and certified by the American Arthritis Foundation, and all participants must have a signed prescription form their doctor indicating which sessions are recommended prior to the first class.
Developed specifically for people with arthritis, the arthritis water exercise program is gentle on the joints and has been proven in research studies to reduce arthritis pain and improve ability to do more daily activities. The program incorporates the buoyancy of water and the soothing warmth of a heated pool to make a safe, ideal environment for relieving arthritis pain and stiffness. Gentle movements increase joint flexibility and range of motion while restoring or maintaining muscle strength. The ability to swim is not required.
Section A1 will be held Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:00 to 1:45 p.m., for 14 sessions. Section A2 will be conducted on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00 to 1:45 p.m. for 16 sessions. Section A3 will meet on Fridays from 1:15 to 2:00 p.m. for 8 sessions. Rates for each session are based on whether the participant is a member of the Wellness Center. Participants can start at any time during these sessions and pay a drop-in rate.

27 October 2011 - 12:29Devices
I was reading Guitar Ted's blog yesterday about the "perfect cell phone for cyclists", and he brought up a few really good points. Everyone's needs are different, but I feel that that device already exists. Love them or hate them, the iPhone is about the best thing going out there. If you read through the post, G-Ted's idea of a perfect cycling phone is essentially an old flip phone, which does a pretty good job of being a phone. He also brings up the point that he uses other peripherals, such as a bike computer and camera.
But what if one device had all this?
There are apps for all of that. OK, so the camera on the iPhone is not the greatest, but I do like the fact that I have access to everything I need to make sure my business is running smoothly with the sweep of a finger. I have done countless deals while I have been out of the shop thanks to that little device. I can tell people where there orders are, answer important emails, order products or even pay bills. I can listen to my tunes.
Some would argue that bringing all this hoohaw along with you on a ride goes against what riding is really about. For some it is about being away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I do like being away from it all, but would not be able to get very far if I lived within a rigid structure of free time/work time. I work all the time so I can be free all the time. Over the years I have adapted my schedule to take my advantages when I can, knowing that I really only need to be around the shop during delivery and pick up times. Technology is a wonderful thing, it allows me to still steer the ship remotely.
I wouldn't be able to do it with a phone like Dicky's…
I'd even go so far to day that my iPhone is probably one of the most important tools in my kit.

New York 1 - Senior Sweethearts Gather For Valentine's Day Celebration In Brooklyn
By: Jeanine Ramirez
Brooklyn sweethearts married for 50 years and more took to the dance floor Monday and showed they've still got it.
"I love her very much and I kiss her every day of my life and I want to spend another 58 years married to this girl. I love the earth she walks on, and I'm going to kiss her right now," said Charlie Simon, who's been married to his wife Veronica for 58 years.
More than 400 couples packed El Caribe Catering Hall in Mill Basin Monday for an early Valentine's Day celebration. Some shared their wedding pictures, and others shared their love stories.
"For the five years I was at college, I sent her a letter every day. The letter may only have said 'I love you,'" said Martin Spencer, who's been married to his wife Ruth for 70 years.
Other shared their secrets to a successful marriage.
"If you marry, take your vow and listen to what you said when you took them, because that's the only way you can make it," said Lessie Everett, who's been married to her husband John for 71 years.
John and Lessie marked their 71st wedding anniversary just last week. At this event, hosted by Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, they, along with all the other couples, got to renew their vows again.
"It's been a wonderful experience because they're definitely a role model for myself and my husband. We're married 28 years," said Sheila White, John and Lessie's daughter.
The celebration included champagne, wedding cake and photographers.
"It really is instructive for younger people and that is, you know, life has its challenges, but if you love each other, love can overcome," said Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz.
This is the ninth year Markowitz has held his Valentine's Day event, and this year, he added something new: a photo booth to help preserve the memories in the years still to come.

no "knobs" to change color when you'd want to calibrate?
Thanks for the response time info, I must have missed it when I was clicking through. I think I am going to grab one of these this weekend, play with it, see if I like it and decide whether or not to replace my Dell SP2309W with it.
Kind of want to wait for a sale, open box, or refurb from MC though. |
And for all the color cali stuff, you dont need a $300 product to calibrate.... and for the highest end designers here, which I am sure comprise of a very small percentage here, they will already have this or can borrow from someone else, or need one for the future anyways. I assume most here are avid techies, gamers and casual designers who can use monitors like these no problem. There are actually higher class monitors in Korea that are much better build quality than these for a slightly higher price, but they dont sell to the public and are not listed. I have been looking to import them for a year now but we all know its not that easy. But it seems the market is good for people willing to buy so maybe its a good time for them to start showing up here. I played Call of Duty on one there and it was incredible... literally felt like I was playing on a Mac display, sweet, and the build was super cool, and no noticeable lag either. Very soon, no one is gonna buy any 1080p crap. Same goes for their 30" 2560X1600, ooooooooooh, I want that one. Even selling in the USA $430 shipped is a bit much... looks like I'll get a move on this and see whassup. |
Korea is a top 7 world economy for people for people who didnt know, and the only bad thing about them is they have a lot of "fakes" but for these kinda monitors, what that means is they take apart Japanese/US brands, study them, and then the replicate them, and they are more than capable of making the same quality. They wont ever get accused of being the Picasso or Michelangelo of the tech world, but Hyundai (cars and ships), Samsung, LG should raise Korea up worldwide even more.... their biggest fault? Pathetic marketing in the USA for Americans (they are awesome in-house though) and arrogance, hence most Americans do not know about Korean details... I would know... but they are improving, slightly. I tell you, if they didnt sell quality products, they wouldnt sell anything. |
I notice that the website says that, "To obtain the maximum resolution, a display port must be used on both ends." What I'm wondering is . . . what's a display port? Is it Macintosh related? Is this only for Mac's or can I get the full resolution from my old e-machines PC and from a newer laptop?
how does the port fit in to your computer?
Someone told me this monitor is better for IPS. Thoughts? http://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraS...B005JN |
Just picked up mine. Bought a displayport cable at microcenter as well ($30 but I already ordered one from Amazon for 7$ lol.. ill be going back for a return)
- I have no dead pixels. -There are on screen controls to change brightness, contrast, eco, dcr, aspect h.position, v.position clock, phase, colro temp, rgb, language, osd h. pos, osd v. pos, osd timer, transparency, hotkey type, signal source, audio select, and volume. -The buttons to control the menu are auto, menu, vol +, vol -, up , down, and power. -Monitor loaded up on initial boot with no problems and Windows 7 set it to 2560x1400 before I logged in. -The monitor is coming up as 60Hz and but ATI catalyst is reporting that it can support up to 75Hz. When I try to change it to 75Hz it doesn't let me set the resolution higher than 1280x1024. Is there any way around this? - It seems like there is a bit of backlight bleeding on the bottom right corner but that could be because I haven't calibrated it at all. Does anyone have a link I can use to calibrate this? - The viewing angle is as advertised and has very little dropoff -The base is acceptable and has good swivel action. I do notice a bit of shaking when I type though. The contents of the box include: DVI-D cable, power brick, power cable, and a vga cable. Also, Diablo 3 looks amazing at this resolution |
This could be due to the fact that the guy at Microcenter dropped my box in front of me.... lmao oh well |

Utah Football Coach Suspends 50 Players For Misbehaving, Bad Gradesfrom Eyewitness News Online Reported by: Bethany Simmons Web Producer: Jeff Morris Also Contributing: KUTV Reported: Sep. 26, 2013 1:33 PM EDT Updated: Sep. 26, 2013 1:48 PM EDT
Roosevelt, Utah
Fifty football players on a Roosevelt high school team are trying to earn back their jerseys after their coaches suspended them for misbehaving and getting bad grades. Head coach Matt Labrum, along with other staff and administrators, asked all upperclassmen on the team to hand over their uniforms after losing a game on Friday so that they could focus on "building character," just a week before an important homecoming game. "We hate to lose," Labrum said, "but we all felt that the biggest lessons that we learned through football were about how to be good men." Instead of practice, Labrum had the boys do community service, cleaning up the grounds of the junior high school and volunteering their time at local senior centers. They also have to spend study periods actually studying. "Being pulled off the team was a horrible feeling for all of us," said team co-captain Jordan Gurr, who was upset at first but now fully supports the coach's' call. "Absolutely one of the best decisions that could've been made." A guidance counselor informed the athletic department that football players were believed to be cyberbullying another student. Jordan's co-captain, Gavin Nielsen, a runningback on the team, said he heard that the kids used an anonymous user name online to tell another boy to kill himself. Nielsen, the school principal's son, agreed with Coach Labrum's call. "Getting my jersey taken away. That kind of sucks. You're like, 'What are we going to do without football?'" Nielsen said of his disappointment, despite understanding the need to focus on what is important. "I wake up because I want to go to football." Some players were skipping class, performing poorly on tests and disrespecting teachers and classmates, Labrum said. Although most of the students perform well and have no behavioral issues, the actions of just a few reflect on the entire team and require everyone's attention, Ross explained of the staff's reasoning for suspending all of them rather than individuals. Freshmen, however, were still allowed to practice. In the small town of about 6,000 residents, football is huge, and canceling practice ahead of Friday's homecoming game against Emery High School was tough, especially since the team needs to win to have a good shot at the playoffs. "The football game on Friday is the only thing in town," said school athletic director Mike Ross. But the feedback from players, parents and even other school districts has been overwhelmingly positive. "The entire community has responded well," Labrum said. "It's been a very humbling lesson for all of us." If the players carry out all their responsibilities, memorize a statement about character and perform a service project for their families, they can get their jerseys back. They also need to keep up good grades to stay active on the team. Practice for those who earn their spot back on the team begins on Thursday morning. So far, the players are doing well, and the coaches are encouraged, but they are looking well past Friday's end zone. "We're building character to make these young men, men so that they can give back to their families and their society," Ross said of building positive futures for the players.
