I am very skeptical with this story. First of all, if you are documenting an unboxing it usually is a Youtube video so you can share product info with others. I have never seen an unboxing documented with photos before. Whats the purpose? And, if you were to photo document an unboxing, why take pictures of you cutting open the shipping box. Sounds like an elaborate scheme to try to get a free camera from Dell. I don't believe any of this story.

Thanks Seth. I know that many people are very upset with a recent item that was posted on the website of the newspaper that I work for. This was a decision made by the bosses. There are many dedicated employees that work there that had nothing to do with that decision.

Skywarn is active on the local Westchester amateur radio frequency (147.060 MHz) of the Westchester Emergency Communications Association. Hams are encouraged to report hazardous weather conditions. NOAA in Upton monitors - I was net control for the ARRL Southern District Net tonight. Non-hams may report to Skywarn by using this form:

I can see transformers popping off south of me, in the area of Cross County, now that winds are really picking up.

Hopefully NONE of my brothers on YFD will take the bait and attack the many dedicated and professional members of Empress such as this individual has attacked YFD. This is only one persons opinion. I have always felt that YFD and Empress line members work well together and respect each other. Us fighting each other is harmful to us all as well as to those we serve. 628s website post regarding Empress certainly was not an attack on Empress employees and I believe any reasonable, person would read it that way.
It is 628 s job to represent their members interests and this is what they are doing. They have not attacked Empress employees. Those who would try to spin this as an attack on Empress employees, or another union are doing so for their own reasons.
There are a combination of truths, half-truths and much untruth in this persons post. When I am rested I will respond to each point by point. Please my brothers on YFD as well as Empress lets stick to the facts and not get personal or unprofessional. This is what those who wish us harm are hoping for and expecting .

I noticed that the new IA template has got rid of "Description of Incident", added "District", and changed "Units Operating" to "Units".
I'm curious to know why these changes were made.

I think the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM) adopted this as the standard template for EM logos, no?

I must add, I don't read every paper and magazine every day, so it's nice to come on here and find pertinent articles and not have to go to several other sites. Also, many good discussions have started from the articles posted.
