Audrey Achramowicz, a UConn MSW student with a concentration in Casework, chose the UConn School of Social Work due to the small school atmosphere, competitive programming, and committed faculty.
Bachelor's Degree: University of Saint Joseph, Psychology
Pursuing my MSW allows me to do more for the population I have been serving and hope to continue to serve. Working with children and adults with special needs for the past eight years, as well as having a brother with multiple disabilities, has exposed me to various issues within the population. I know that continuing my education will enable me to obtain the necessary skills to work clinically and professionally with my clients. Additionally, it is preparing me to work more effectively and efficiently with them. Choosing UConn School of Social Work was not a hard task. The small school atmosphere, competitive programming, and committed faculty made UConn the place for me. I knew that the environment would nurture my skills and abilities.
My first year in the program was amazing. I learned so much about the field and also about myself. Learning about the broader sense of social work in the first year brings awareness to issues on a macro/micro level. Macro Foundation Practice introduced me to the community organizing and policy practice side of the profession. My field placement also exposed me to the community outreach and administrative tasks involved in social work. I soon realized that even though my concentration in casework focuses on the micro level, I also must be engaged in the macro level of social work. It is the macro, "bigger picture" issues that will often be affecting my clients. Macro and micro social work practice are constantly working together and are constantly intertwined. Being aware of the societal factors that help or hurt individual clients is another way to be of better service to that person.
This year I am co-chairing both the Women's Caucus and the Just Community Student Sub-Committee. My goal is to make the most out of my last year at the School of Social Work. I am looking forward to working with fellow students, faculty, staff, and administration in a new capacity.
My advice to new and prospective students would be to take advantage of all that the School of Social Work has to offer especially when it comes to further developing your professionalism as a social worker. Make it a point to get involved and stay connected. Join the Student Organization, attend a variety of events, start networking and get to know your professors. Get the most out of your time at the School. The things you learn will open your mind to new opportunities and experiences that you would never imagine or expect!

How far we have come. The new Poet Laureate might not be Buddhist, but she is the first Scot to hold the position. And on Woman's Hour yesterday, Carol Ann Duffy said that she was "thrilled" to have been asked and was persuaded to take the job "purely because there has not been a woman".
The role has looked harder and harder to fill in recent years. Ted Hughes took it on happily, feeling that there was something tribal about it. Andrew Motion has been open about how uncomfortable he found the brief to write about royalty. He has admitted that he now wishes he hadn't written a rap about Prince William's 21st birthday.
Duffy says that no poet should have to write about such things as Prince Edward's wedding, but that she can see how a poet could be inspired to write about marriages or civil partnerships in general. She says she hopes to write poems when she is moved to write them, rather than to order.
It is possible that this will lead to a change in the nature of what Poets Laureate do. Duffy could perhaps consider herself the nation's writer-in-residence rather than a royal poet.
Motion used the title as a cue to promote poetry in its own right. Duffy has already brought debates about poetry, and particularly its place in schools, to national attention. One of her poems, "Head of English", is especially mordant.
When an exam-board official moved that a poem of hers be banned from the curriculum because it showed too much sympathy for a violent individual, she wrote a fine sonnet in response, reminding the reader of how much knife crime there is in Shakespeare.
This is what makes her such an attractive Poet Laureate. Throughout her career, she has spoken for those who haven't been able to raise voices for themselves – immigrants, children, and even a ventriloquist's dummy. Her sequence The World's Wife looks at a range of legendary situations from the female point of view: some are funny (Mrs Icarus), some provocative (Mrs Shakespeare), some both (Mrs Teiresias).
Duffy was born in Glasgow in 1955, but grew up in Staffordshire. This experience of displacement crops up throughout her work. There is a strong feeling of nostalgia, too – an attribute often attributed to a Poet Laureate.

Microdermabrasion (MD Peel™)
During an MD Peel™ treatment, the hand piece gently traces over your skin, delivering sterile micro crystals that gently exfoliate your skin. Simultaneously, a vacuum whisks away the exfoliated skin and excess crystal, leaving your face instantly smoother. The treatment takes between 20 and 30 minutes depending on the body area you want treated.
The rejuvenated, smooth and softened appearance of your skin is visible from your very first treatment. Typically a series of 4 to 10 treatments, followed by a maintenance program, is required to reach and sustain the desired goal.

I have found my tens unit to be a lifesaver on the days I am really hurting. My sister(who also has fibro) just bought one at her local pharmacy and loves it!
I was taking Vicodin and Tramadol before for pain, but it was not helping my pain level at all. I now take Methadone and Vicodin in between. I wish there was another way for me to get relief, but I have tried so many things and nothing helps when I am having the bad flares.
The Methadone does help more. Some docs will not prescribe it though. As for the tens unit...if you have the money, you can pick one up today. I know there are alot of pharmacies who carry them. You can also get them online, but will take longer to get. I don't know if a doc can write a prescription for one and maybe your insurance will pay for it? Not sure, but it is nice to have.
Others will be along to give advice. Good luck & hope you get to feeling better!
Hugs!! Margie

Thanks for all your input everyone! I went to the doctor today, and he has changed my treatment to something a little more aggresive. I am now taking 375mg of Lyrica instead of the cymbalta and he has also added Mirepex every day. I am also supposed to take Dexamethosone 3x per day along with my Tramamadol. I was also started on Flexeril which is a muscle relaxer and I take that 3x per day.I have worked really hard and lost 55 pounds so I hope the Lyrica doesn't make me gain weight, but I wil do anything in order not to be in pain. If anyone can tell me how they are doing on any of these meds, I would appreciate it. I had a little melt down when I got home and was talking to my husband. He was so supportive and understanding so I again today, Thank God for him. Thanks again, and I hope everyone wakes up and has a good day tomorrow. I am also going to check into getting a TENS unit. I had no idea you could get them at the pharmacy. Take care, Sheri
So glad your doc is trying some different meds. I have heard good things about Lyrica, although I stopped taking it after 6 months because they didn't help me much and I gained too much weight while taking them. I've heard others say they didn't gain weight, so guess it is different for everyone.
My sister got her tens unit at her local pharmacy in town. The one she got looks almost like mine. I didn't know you could get them there either. Maybe only certain places. You might want to call around. I hope the tens helps you. It really has helped me.
Good luck with the new meds. Let us know how you do.


text: Discuss... There's one for sale here that caught my eye. It's a 1990 525i with manual trans and 140,000 miles. Light blue with blue leather. From what I could see, it's in very good shape for a 13 year old car. Some scratches and chips outside, but no stains or tears inside. What should I look for/ ask about it? They want $6900, but edmunds.com said it was worth $5900.

i have had feedback from friends on alot of other sites that children are constantly have nightmares about books.
sort by best latest
This is at best an over-generalization based upon anecdotal evidence, if not outright disinformation.
For what its worth, my anecdotal evidence: I used to read ALL the time when younger and never had nightmares as a child.
Of all the FUD around, suggesting that children should not read is probably some of the worst!
Edit: Probably shouldn't have fed gameblogger...

When my child was having nightmares and seeing demons also it was from a children's movie that actually had real voo-doo in it that came from a book.
So once we got rid of it and I prayed over her and In Jesus name I told everything that was invited in with that item to leave. Also I had to bind up and not allow night terror, witchcraft, and all familiar spirits over her in Jesus name.
The nightmares left when we did figure it out and got rid of the item.
It's about what's in the children's books and what it invites. So we don't keep books with occult stuff, such as dragons, spells and curses in our house, or the toys that go with them. We can't have stuff that is linked up to false religions or false gods either. Some may not understand this and say this is crazy but once you have seen the evil spirits come because of these items and then leave in Jesus name you can't help but to know it's true.
God doesn't want us to give the devil any door to come into. God leaves us responsible for protect our kids from these type of attacks. Yes a lot of children's stuff it contaminated with the above listed stuff plus even more. Thank God there are still many good choices, and materials suitable and safe for kids and us!
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. Matt 10:16
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.1 John 4:1
My people perish from a lack of knowledge.> Hos 4:6
There are many videos on youtube exposing the occult in cartoons and disney stuff.Also I have many deliverance prayers and such to help with spiritual warfare that could help also.https://hubpages.com/@heavenbound5511

I strongly believe this is not the case. It is the type of books children are reading that would cause nightmares. In my opinion, parents today have been somewhat desensitized to violence through tv, films and video games. I am surprised by what my friends allow their young children to watch on television. Heck the nightly news can be very graphic and a 3 year old or an 8 year old really aren't capable of handling many of these graphic images. The same goes for books. There are so many great children's books out there that are gentle and can teach children the love of reading. I think if someone is unfamiliar with a book, they should review it and decide if the material is at the right level for the child both from a maturity level and reading ability.

Whenever you hear someone refer to anything as 'the business', it is usually an accolade reserved for items of similar stature to crispy skinned chicken or unforgettable nights out. This particular usage murmurs somewhere between the two. A collaboration championed by creative collective Jacky Winter, curators Design Is Kinky and smart guys in the room Media Arts Lawyers, The Business Sydney is an event "for anyone who is either just starting to, or seriously planning to attempt to make a living from creative pursuits," explains Jeremy Wortsman director and IT wiz of Jacky Winter.
The educational extravanganza is an exploration of the nitty-gritty of starting and sustaining a business in the creative industry. Something the crew from Jacky Winter know all about, "there's no formal training for starting a business. You really have to cobble together lots of information from a wide variety of sources," Jeremy Wortsman remarked on his experience after launching Jacky Winter in 2006.
After a flagship event in Melbourne received big props from those attending, the dues behind The Business have decided to bring the show to Sydney for one-day only on May 9th.
The Business vies to spark a conversation around the undervaluing of creative work, whilst giving attendees some priceless insights into how to enter and flourish in the increasingly competitive creative marketplace, without cutting themselves short.
"Businesses and freelancers can dangerously undervalue their work for a short term gain, which can have disastrous long-term effects for the industry and our peers with regards to staying sustainable and relevant," explained Wortsman in a quick interview on Friday.
"All creatives need to value their time and work carefully, and a lot of this comes from having comfort and confidence in the simple truths of running a business. The design and business worlds are moving closer and closer together every day, and the better prepared everyone is, the more everyone will benefit."
The day is split up into easy to swallow chunks of business goodness, kicking things off with The Fine Print presented by David Vodicka, looking at some of legal terms that might have you scratching your noggin' and tip-toeing around like appropriation, sampling and fair use.
The schedule rolls through an interesting and insightful list of little workshops designed to have you nodding and scribbling notes, making mental bookmarks and nudging your mate.
"Whether its a book or blog to read, a piece of software to try, or an alternative way of running a particular aspect of their business, the whole idea is that it will inspire people to make a change, or perhaps shed some light on the small boring topics that often go overlooked, yet are crucial to consider."

No Other Will Do by Karen Witemeyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Emma leads an all woman colony which takes in women who have been abused or who need to get away from a man. They are determined they can do all things without a man, that is until they start getting threats to their lives. Emma calls in Malachi for help, a boy she once saved. Malachi comes running, however he is no longer a boy, but a grown, handsome man.
I have to admit this story took me some time to read, however, it wasn't because the story wasn't good. It was a little slow moving for me at the beginning, but then it picked up and I didn't want it to end. I really loved Malachi, he was such a gentleman! And I loved Emma's determination to protect her ladies and save her colony. No Other Will Do is a really sweet story reminding us that "I have no right to demand exemption from suffering when not even your Son was spared."
I was graciously provided a free digital copy of this book from Bethany House in partnership with NetGalley to review it. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions I have expressed are my own.

US: Jerry Leigh implements NGC's e-PLM software
28 April 2010 | News | Source: just-style.com
West Coast apparel company Jerry Leigh, which makes licensed products for top US retailers, has successfully implemented NGC's e-PLM software for product lifecycle management.
Combining e-PLM with its existing e-SPS software for global sourcing and visibility provides the apparel firm with a single, integrated solution that covers every step of the product lifecycle, from design concept through sourcing to receipt at the distribution centre.
The web-based solution centralises information, improves collaboration, and streamlines workflows, for faster speed to market and enhanced communication throughout the global supply chain.
"Some of the e-PLM features that were particularly attractive to us included version control on spec packs and a central repository for images and component masters," said Jeff Silver, vice president and CFO at Jerry Leigh.
"In addition, having visibility to styles when they're in development will allow for early costing to ensure that we meet our profit goals for each style."
Other benefits of e-PLM and e-SPS are said to include faster speed to markets, and streamlined communication with supply chain partners around the world.
"Jerry Leigh designs and develops merchandise for many of the world's most recognized brands and retailers, so quality and timing are critical to our success," Silver added.

Royal Caribbean is leading the field when it comes to mega cruise ships, that's for certain! They own and operate the biggest cruise vessels at sea, and last week their three most enormous fleet members met for the first time in a spectacular show of maritime might. We love the images from this amazing rendez-vous, and we thought you might too.
The Oasis of the Seas, Allure of the Seas and newly-launched Harmony of the Seas came together on Friday for the first time - and possibly the only time! This marked the arrival of the Harmony in the United States, after her construction in France and a season sailing from various ports in the Mediterranean. Her new homeport is Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida - a cruising hub with easy access to the beautiful isles of the Caribbean.
Oasis Class innovation
All three ships pictured are part of Royal Caribbean's Oasis Class, named for the original member: Oasis of the Seas. They are engineering and architectural marvels, with a whole heap of new and exciting experience for their passengers. Standard Oasis Class features include themed neighbourhoods, lush and leafy "Central Parks", FlowRider surf simulators, zip lines, outdoor AquaTheatres with incredible daily shows, interesting bars, a huge range of restaurants and some unique accommodations including luxurious multi-level loft suites.
The Harmony of the Seas, just arrived in her new home, stole the title of largest cruise ship when she debuted earlier in 2016. Claiming just one extra foot over her nearly-identical sister ships, she boasts a few extras - such as the Ultimate Abyss 10-story tall waterslide, and new specialty restaurants including Jamie's Italian and the imaginative Wonderland. There are also all-new entertainment options like the Grease stage show, a classic favourite.
To sail on one of these three giants in the foreseeable future, you'll have to make the trip to Florida, North American cruising mecca, and sail into the Caribbean. Very worth the trip for keen cruisers! However, you can get a peek at a Royal Caribbean megaship Down Under with the Quantum Class Ovation of the Seas which visits Australia and the South Pacific regularly.

I am disabled so most shots are wheelchair based. Don email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154375555182432371.post-28914824573858186702017-03-05T15:34:00.000-08:002017-03-05T15:34:37.524-08:00Film Friday
All I know about Film Friday is give it a try! I started this virtually defunct blog to hi lite cameras that have been around since 1955. Why 1955 ? Because I was born in that momentous year, what other reason could I have chosen oh you have checked it out and the Leica M3 came on tap in 1955 & you consider that more important than the fact I was born. Let me tell you I don't! I have failed with this blog but do I care? no is the answer. I still love photography and I am as passionate about cameras now as I was when I wrote the first post but a lot of water has gone under the bridge since then. I am now in an electric wheelchair full time and Multiple Sclerosis has robbed even more of my body. I cannot collect cameras any longer as putting it bluntly I cannot afford to. But digital photography suits me, no developing of film no films to buy and I even struggle getting a compact flash card out of a camera and my wife has to remove SD cards so reeling and winding on a 120 film ain't ever going to happen again for me not ever!
But a mate has just bought himself a Nikon kit so maybe come the better weather we might just have some exposition' s to hone our non existent photographic skills. Who knows I maybe able to take the lens cap off still and remember how to take a shot or two!

We have just been away for a few days and my camera actually got some use. Only wildlife shots taken from inside through the window but it was great! I haven't used the camera since last summer and if felt good. Just snaps of a few birds and rabbit's and squirrels even a deer. All taken from indoors and whilst I was in my wheelchair. The most frustrating thing about being unable to stand and walk is setting up a shot. If I see a shot that is crying out to me I cannot move to get it from where it deserves to be taken I am stuck in the chair and cannot move from it so I have to make do with what I can do rather than what I would like to do. Yep frustrating but life is frustrating and we all have to get on with it.

Yep my life with Multiple Sclerosis gets in the way of having a life. I have been in bed since last Friday night. I was due to go out to a micro pub to eat but never made it. MS messes with my nervous system, I became constipated and we all know jokes about constipation but it has wrecked my weekend putting me in bed but hopefully that is behind me know. I watched a program tonight by professor Brian Cox and it had some great shots of moths so if I can get a bit of help I am going to try a project on moths. I need to have some help because I aim to put a moth trap out and I needs to be in the garden, those of you that follow my exploits will know I am in a wheelchair. Our garden is down a flight of steps! Have you spotted the problem? Wish me luck.

I have spent the day at home. I didn't want to go out it was overcast and most of the Day it was blowing a houlie and looked like rain, typical July weather! In fact come time for Heather to get the grandson from school it rained very hard. So bereft of outside photography opportunities I decided to give the camera a day off. Looking at the weather forecast for tomorrow it seems more of the same. Never mind it could be worse at least I have fibre optic broadband and I can view other people's photos online.

I got my first camera with full PASM control about ten years ago and I started reading all I could about how to control my camera and how to get better pictures. I was a rubbish photographer then and to be hones I am not much better all these years later. My Multiple Sclerosis makes life very difficult for me even typing this out is hard because my fingers are not working as well as they used to. I wish when I had first started reading books I had discovered Youtube because today I found out visually how F stops work and AP etc work and the visual part is important for me because sometimes reading things just doesn't click with my brain. This Youtube clip has worked for me converting the printed word into something my brain can understand. So if like men you need a bit of help with your photography here is our starter for ten.

I looked at the camera's at the football final and at Wimbledon today. I know they are professionals but the money's worth of kit was phenomenal. Dozens of Canon 1D and some huge lenses. I mean really huge amounts of glass. Assuming each of those set ups was ten grand and each photographer had a backup set up worth half that and say a nice Apple pro laptop and say a studio somewhere any images they managed to sell must be worth a fortune. And they were just the two main sporting events I saw today, there was also the formula one GO at Silverstone today and wheelchair tennis finals. No wonder the likes of Canon and Nikon are so keen to promote their top of the range camera's. I know all about the people who say it the person behind the camera not the camera that counts but I must say I didn't see anyone using a box brownie or a Kodak Pro1 it was all new gear and all top of the range stuff, I only say one guy using a small camera and in all probability that would have been a Leica M.

I wish I had discovered photography before I became ill I would have loved to have been a professional rather than an enthusiastic snapper. I enjoy just playing about with any of my camera's even if it is taking a picture of a stone or a bee busy collecting pollen. And as I heard on the TV tonight you only ever regret the shots you do not take, the Television pundit was talking about football but to me it is a photography term. Night camera lovers I need some sleep.

I am the first to congratulate anyone if they have a good bit of kit. I don't envy anyone but if I see someone with the new Pentax K-1 you may see me not being as humble as normal. I really fancy this new full frame model from Pentax. It is not beyond the realms of possibility with a camera body only price being quoted at Park Cameras of £1600 I wont be rushing out any day soon to buy one but it is not so expensive that I cannot dream. Since Ricoh acquired Pentax the brand seems to have been revitalised and I for one may consider a Pentax as my next camera.

I got a few shots today, all of garden birds taken through the window.I have got a new wheelchair so hopefully I can get out and about if the weather warms up. Today was sunny but I still had to turn the central heating on for a while. It was after I had fallen asleep in the wheelchair in the sunshine, as soon as the Sun disappeared the temperature plummeted. I didn't manage to get outside the house at all today. We had to wait in for a lift engineer to come and fix the through floor lift, I couldn't get it to work properly this morning. Thankfully the came out within a few hours and eventually managed to get the problem sorted. I did take a couple of shots of his tools but nothing exciting. The weather looks like worsening for the weekend so a planned trip is looking doubtful.

I spent a lot of the afternoon sitting camera on the window cill waiting for a decent shot of one or some garden birds, I failed. I didn't get one picture so when my wife came home and suggested a ride I jumped at the chance. A short distance away the council have been trimming the trees in the park and I fancied a shot. So when we got there she got the shots as it really wasn't worth getting me into the wheelchair for a couple of pictures. They were the only photo's we got. We started talking and then the mobile went and we got distracted and all in all I forgot to take anymore pictures but we had a wonderful ride.

I am back in circulation, I doubt I will add much to this blog but I thought it only right I should let anyone who does drop in that I am still in circulation. My MS has really messed with me both mind and body hence not a lot of photography but yesterday I did actually pick up my camera.

Yep it was great to feel a camera in my hands, I took the point and shoot with us to a family party. I got some good and some exceptionally rubbish shots, my MS has slowly made it harder to use my camera's so I miss more shots than I get but frustrating as it may be its part of the fun. The hardest thing for me is not being able to get out of the wheelchair to take the shot I want, but I have to make do with wheelchair hight shots I am never going to be able to stand so put up or shut up. I think depression has had a lot to do with me not wanting to take any photos, they are just a reminder of my MS, bad.
I am not a photographer now I am a snapper sometimes I even get lucky and get a good shot.

Those of you who know me will know I suffer from Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, which has taken most of my body away, I am stuck in a wheelchair and most of the time I am OK with this. Today I have had a relapse and have been in bed for over twenty four hours sleeping for over eighteen hours straight. I haven't been using my camera's I used to always be using my camera but for a few month now I have not even taken one out of the cupboard!! My once constant companions are stuck away out of site and out of mind. I aim to change that as my New Year Resolution will be take more pictures.

My days are pretty much spent on ebay. My life is such now that being in the wheelchair I do research on stuff I find online. At the moment I am into old woodworking tools. Today I have my copy of British Planemakers from 1700 and have messed around all morning quiet happily until I came across an auction for a Corfield Lumimeter. Why didn't I stop there? OH NO NOT I what I did is look up the fore mentioned article on google. Any of you remember the line from the Ray Stevens song about the streaker don't look Ethel
It was too late, she'd already been incensed.

I was to late I had gone to far and like Ethel I had been incensed.
The first words I read should have warned me but like the muppet I am I continued and am now bamboozled as to what I have read or why I wanted to ever know anything about the Corfield Lumimeter. If you want to waste ten minutes read this http://www.jollinger.com/photo/meters/meters/corfield_lumi.html

why should I be the only person to loose valuable minutes that I will never get back.

Here is Ray Stevens to brighten your day after being incensed

The title to this post says it all. Heather got the camera bag and put it in the car the got me into the car, after putting the wheelchair back indoors we set off for a ride. Two hours later we were back home and all we had done was taken the camera for a ride. I had sat in the car and forgotten all about the camera.

My son was wandering back towards home the other night and stopped to admire the setting sun. Took his phone from is pocket took a picture and promptly clicked send. The picture arrived in my inbox no note nor description, its not perfect it has many flaws but to me its priceless. At that moment in time my son had been thinking of me his old dad who was sat at home in my wheelchair. He had managed in a few seconds what one hundred years earlier would have taken days. Now that is what I call progress.

Yep there is no way to break this gently it has been pointed out to me tonight by my wife I am not a very good photographer. I leave the lens cap on I am to slow and I fumble with the camera. Do I care? No is the answer! A big resounding NO. I love my time messing around with a camera. The fact is I don't care what others think of my efforts, they are right, I am rubbish but I enjoy it.

I am sat here thinking of something photographic to write. I have writers block

as a blogger I need writers block it 's as useful as a chocolate teapot. Without the ability to write you the reader will not have anything to read. So me no write you no read, and a blank blog is no blog at all. Yes I know you say my writing is rubbish and not worth reading anyhow but I keep this blogging lark up to see in the vainest of hopes that I will get good at it, as you are witnessing that isn't happening.

So tomorrow I will try again I am now going to watch a movie for some inspiration.

I read somewhere that the iPhone has already captured more images since its introduction than have been taken by all the cameras ever made. I have no way of knowing if that's just BS or true. But more to the point I don't actually care. Camera phones are handy and yes they take a fantastic image. I am impressed by them but I hope I never use one. I detest mobiles so I have no plans to get an iPhone any time soon. My wife has one and having never wanted one has now fully embraced the modern technology and I think it's great but not for me. Maybe it's an age thing but there are many people much older than myself who would be lost without theirs. I don't care I will continue using a camera for photography and a telephone for conversation. Texting well that just madness, my kids reply to their mother so fast I am sure it is unnatural. And they can text without looking at the screen. I iPhone no I don't iPhone using a phone. Did that make sense? If you want to talk to me while I am in the middle of a field you will need to be standing next to me.

Well it all depends who you ask. Ask my wife and the reply would be a resounding NO. And I use capitals in the reply for a reason. I have cameras in boxes and tucked away on shelves that I have not looked at in the last couple of years let alone used them and many will never see a film again. But get rid of them NO I cry and I once again use capitals for a reason. They dont need to go I would like to buy some more cameras to keep them company!!

I know its the same in all fields of collectables be it train sets or silver spoons. The sheer act of owning an item and then like Gollom sitting and stroking it and saying "My precious" many collectors wives must see items arrive and like my dear suffering wife think to themselves more junk.
So in answer to my question is no but if you reword that question to do I want another camera the

answer would be a capital Y a capital E and a capital S with bells on and all the whistles I could muster. Is there a group I could go to where I could say "I am Don and I am a cameraholic"

One big inning at the plate and a superb outing by starting pitcher Luis Pollorena helped the Laredo Lemurs (33-28) beat the Wichita Wingnuts (37-24) 5-0 on Saturday night at Uni-Trade Stadium.Lemurs starting pitcher Luis Pollorena (5-1) led the charge for his club and buckled down against a scrappy Wingnuts offense. Pollorena went six and two thirds without giving up a run on five hits with one walk and five strikeouts. Pollorena retired the side in order three times on the night at and caught a hot liner that came back up the box to save a base hit off batter Leo Vargas in the third inning.
The Lemurs offense came in the third as the team put together four doubles and a single with Wichita starter Omar Bencomo (5-1) also issuing a walk to give the Lemurs five runs in the inning. Other than the third inning, Bencomo pitched well, going six complete innings and giving up five runs on eight hits with a walk and six punch outs in a losing effort. The Laredo Lemurs will host the Wichita Wingnuts for in the finale on Sunday at 6:00pm at Uni-Trade Stadium. You can get Laredo Lemurs tickets at the Uni-Trade Stadium box office, online at laredolemurs.com, or by calling 956-7 LEMURS.

Eight-year-old boys and white soccer uniforms are like oil and water. I mean, really??? It's a safe bet that it will be dirty before we even reach the soccer fields…
Luckily, this isn't my first rodeo! My older girls have the same uniforms, plus we've owned numerous pairs of white baseball pants over the years. So I have a few strategies for removing tough, ground in stains — even from white clothing.
How To Remove Difficult Stains
1. Wash stained clothing ASAP
Perhaps this is a little common sense, but the longer a stain sits, the tougher it will be to remove. Washing stained clothing ASAP, means less work to remove to get them clean, saving you time and money in the long run.
2. Pretreat the stains
Pretreating stains will help to lift the dirt and grime from the fabric, allowing it to rinse away more easily in wash cycle. Depending on how large the stain is, I pretreat in one of two ways. For small stains, I keep a condiment bottle filled with BIZ Stain & Odor Eliminator in the laundry room. I use this to spot treat smaller stains, working it in to the stain with an old soft toothbrush. I let it set for 5-10 minutes and wash as usual.
For larger stains or to remove overall dinginess (as with our white soccer uniforms), I presoak the clothing in a mixture of warm water and BIZ Stain & Odor Eliminator. I keep a large dish tub in the laundry room just for this purpose. Depending on how stained the clothing is and how many items I'm soaking, I'll leave them to soak for anywhere from 1-4 hours. Then I just drain and wash as usual.
3. Ensure stains are gone before drying
Throwing still-stained clothing into the dryer can set stains permanently. So do yourself a favor and check each item over before drying. If traces of a stain still remain, repeat the pretreating step above and rewash.
Before & After BIZ
Wow, what a difference a little soak makes, huh?! My son's uniform is bright white once again. Of course, the irony is that spring season is in the books, and we'll be getting new uniforms over the summer. But I'm sure we'll have home whites again, and I'll the same strategy with my BIZ Stain & Odor Eliminator once again to keep them gleaming white!
Oh, and BIZ is amazing for removing stains from clothing of all colors. It doesn't contain bleach, just a variety of stain fighters that work for all washable clothing!
Do you have any other stain removal tips to add? I'm always happy to learn something new!
P.S. You'll also want to check out these white laundry tips to keep your white clothing looking like new longer!

At any rate I'm working with a 50d and have narrowed my choices down to two lenses; 17-55 f/2.8 is and the 24/70 f/2.8 is. Space is limited so I don't want to be peigon holed with a prime and the lightining won't be all that bright. I also don't want to bring my flashes as it might interfere with the artists. Am I on the right path and if not let me know your opinion.

Regardless of personal opinions or political affiliation, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as the ObamaCare, is something that surely has a significant impact on the lives of Americans and their families. Since its inception, it has been surrounded by many controversial issues. One of the hottest subjects related to the health care reform is its requirement to cover contraception, which is relevant to women of child-bearing age. Now, it is very important to educate ourselves about how this will change our coverage at present and in the future. Here are some basic facts about the ObamaCare and contraception.
Types of Contraception the ACA Covers
According to healthcare.gov, virtually all conventional methods of contraception are covered by the ObamaCare, which means that you do not have to stop using preferred method for another just to qualify for coverage. As the website states, all methods of contraception that are prescribed by doctors and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are covered. These include the barrier methods, hormonal methods, implanted devices, emergency contraception, sterilization procedures for women, patient education and counseling. Those that are not covered are abortion-inducing drugs and services that are related to the male reproductive capacity, such as vasectomy.
What Does One Has to Pay
Under the health care reform, FDA-approved contraception methods are fully covered by most health insurance policies without any additional out-of-pocket cost, which means there is no co-insurance, co-pay or deductible. But while the law does not allow insurers to determine which contraception methods they will cover, it gives them the freedom to choose which brands they will cover fully. So, if you go for a brand-name pill, instead of a generic version (which you can get for free), your employer can charge a co-pay. However, if your doctor says that it is not safe for you to take the generic version, the co-pay will be waived. Also, if you have an HMO, POS or PPO plan for insurance, any service you use to obtain your contraceptives should be conducted by an in-network provider for it to be covered, otherwise you might have to a portion of the cost.
Of course, there are exceptions. Grandfathered plans, which are those already in effect before the ObamaCare was enacted, do not have to follow all the law's guidelines, as long as they are not making any significant changes, such as drastic increases in coinsurance, co-payments or deductibles and cuts in benefits, which can make them lose their grandfather status. Other health policies that are exempt from contraception coverage include plans at churches and religious organizations as well as self-funded student health plans. Much controversy is circling around which groups would qualify for religious exemptions, where some lawsuits were filed to the Supreme Court, opening up the possibility of the ACA details to be modified to find compromise between the concerns of some employers who prefer to refuse offering contraception coverage and the goal of making contraception more widely accessible.
Issue on the Inclusion of Condoms
As of the moment, the ObamaCare does not apply to male contraception methods, which include condoms. However, for women, over-the-counter (OTC) contraceptives like female condoms and spermicides are covered as long as they are approved by the FDA. It is stressed by the law, though, that these OTC products must be prescribed by doctors, making it quite more difficult to obtain coverage. Moreover, while some "morning-after pills" (as what many people call them) are approved by the FDA and covered by the plan under the ACA, drugs and methods for abortion are not.
Issues in Getting Contraception Covered Under the ObamaCare
Naturally, snags can occur with the ObamaCare, considering that it is not only a new program, but also huge. A Guttmacher Institute survey found out that some private health plans are inadequately following the ACA, and despite the mandate that all methods of female contraception approved by the FDA are covered, some insurance companies are still not offering full coverage for certain methods, such as IUDs, patches and contraceptive rings. For instance, women who are choosing to use a hormonal patch are paying a co-pay, while they can obtain hormonal contraception pills with no out-of-pocket cost. Insurers postulate that because patches use similar ingredients as pills, they essentially have the same function, but the FDA maintains that they have different delivery, so both deserve to be covered.
If you think that you have been charged for contraception that you think should be fully covered under the ObamaCare, you should contact your insurer for clarification of your benefits. As advised by the National Women's Law Center (NWLC), women who believe they have been denied of the coverage they are entitled to have should speak with their insurance companies as soon as possible. If this does not solve the issue, then NWLC urges these women to file an appeal.
Revised Obamacare Contraception Rule
In July this year, the Obama administration had announced changes to the ACA to make it easier for religious organizations to exempt themselves from covering contraceptive methods for women. Under the ObamaCare rules, most forms of contraception for employees should be covered without any out-of-pocket cost—a provision that has since been under fire from religious groups that are against birth control or those who regard products like "morning-after" pills to be abortifacients, which pertain to substances that induce abortion. And while the contraception mandate of the ACA does not apply to houses of worship, religious groups still pushed for the same protection to be granted to organization that are also affiliated to religion, such as non-profits, schools and hospitals.
Now, under the changes to the ObamaCare, qualified groups having a religious objection to the contraception mandate can send the Department of Health and Human Services a note, rather than alerting the insurance company. It is then the government's job to notify the insurance company, so it can come up with alternative forms of coverage for contraception. Furthermore, this also applies to privately held companies, of which at least 50 percent is owned by 5 or fewer individuals.

I am not able to understand advantage (if at all any) of CHAINED mode of transactions.
Why does anyone, who are running live environment, wants to run the Sybase in CHAINED mode, in which for every DML command explicit commit/rollback is required.
Can anybody who are using this feature can explian the advantage or a scenriao where this is required.

In Sybase it is very important to have short-lived transactions, and by using explicit transactions (begin tran, save tran) it is often easier to handle this correctly.
In addition a lot of systems are written with a large number of stored procedures where each proc performs some task. In that situation each proc can either have each own transaction, or use the global transaction started by the top-most proc and just use SAVE TRAN and COMMIT/ROLLBACK to handle the transactions correctly.
Personally I never used the CHAINED mode, for example.

I just got this email from CJ:
"In accordance with the Commission Junction Publisher Service Agreement ( http://www.cj.com/pub_agreement.asp ), your Publisher Account has been removed from the Commission Junction network and your earnings have been reversed from your account ("charged-back") and credited back to the relevant Advertiser(s) due to their status as non-bona fide transactions and your promotional activities or participation in creating the transactions.

what the hell is that all about??? I didn't get no acceptable explanation, no warning, no nothing.
I've been with CJ for almost a year making very nice amounts without anything illegal involved,
and it is definitely my primary income source...
I can't believe this is happening, I'm still shocked and I don't live in the U.S so it's even more of a problem to get support...
what can i do besides emailing CJ slow support???
Haiko / Todd / Anyone please help?

......or at least, it would be nice if they got a personalized email. We might not be getting both sides of the story, but that sounded like it was a pretty generic notification.

I'm curious to know how many accounts get deactivated each day. If not that many, since this is some peoples primary source of income, maybe a phone call would be better or is there a number to call where a publisher can get into contact with CJ immediately?

I'm curious to know how many accounts get deactivated each day.
We do not disclose the exact numbers but they are high enough to prevent us from contacting them to explain things.
Think of it this way, if you were an ISP and caught someone sending spam, would you call and warn him or her or would you disable his or her account?
In 99.99% of the cases, the evidence is indisputable.
In certain cases we will reinvestigate the issue and have reactivated accounts. This has happened maybe a dozen times out of thousands of accounts over the past 4 years.

We've seen two reports here in the last week. Odd. I find it hard to believe believe both of these are spammers. Even if they are, IANAL, not even close, but, to me, the PSA seems to indicate the only offense strong enough to warrant "You are not eligible to rejoin the Commission Junction" is 1(b)
(b) operate or utilize a Web site or email Link(s) to Web sites that contain or promote, any of these types of content: libelous, defamatory, obscene, abusive, violent, bigoted, hate-oriented, illegal, cracking, hacking or warez, or the offer of any illegal good or service, or Link(s) to a Web site(s) that does so; and/or
I hate to beat a horse that won't seem to die, but, some affiliates which have been shown to do things that seem to violate the PSA, specifically
You shall not cause any Transactions to be made that are not in good faith, including, but not limited to, using any device, program, robot, Iframes, hidden frames, redirects or clicking on Links that You place to the Advertiser. You shall not establish or cause to be established any promotion that provides any rewards, points or compensation for Transactions
and the COC, seem to repeatedly get away with it. Yet, small affiliates seem to be terminated at the drop of a hat.

Doesn't CJ get some percentage of what we make? Can't be very profitible for them to can people who are making money. Anyone that is sending spam email should be canned. Spam is obscene and abusive!

To clarify...
I used spam as an example. In this case it was not releated to spam.
Obviously, I am not going to go into details regarding publishers specific issues.

"due to their status as non-bona fide transactions and your promotional activities or participation in creating the transactions."
It has been said it was not spam related. Got that.
Now, the above quote seems to suggest fraud or indiscriminate advertising (a cousin to fraud).
Indiscriminate advertising deals with misleading visitors or misrepresentation of merchants.
No further speculations. Chalk another one up for spybot and the compliance department.
If it was found that large numbers of the CJ affiliate force were guilty of violations worthy of deactivation (which I believe when reading the publisher agreement, and now hearing such high daily deactivations), then CJ is left with what particular affiliates to target for such violations.
Why not primarily target foreign affiliates and such... people with names like Tihan, and affiliates stationed half way across the world?
Makes sense, if you've got to lose some affiliates to satisfy merchants...that you are looking out for them.
If CJ is going to inforce the publisher agreement, they should target US affiliates as well...regardless of how easy it would be for such affiliates to just join other programs in direct competition with CJ. (I think I hear Tod saying US affiliates get canned to)
Keeping all affiliates scared, by not disclosing details of the main specific reasons for most of the many daily deactivations will only make them feel more a need to not have all their eggs in the CJ basket.
Affiliates will naturally start including more merchants from other networks as a sort of insurance against what could become of their relationship with CJ...should CJ come one day like the IRS to audit their promotional activities or such, and come to a shallow conclusion.
A question we should then all be able to answer yes to is, "if you were deactivated by CJ today, could you financially survive"?
Having your income equally coming from several sources will be the logical solution.
Why? Because CJ has just stated they don't have the time to correspond with all the affiliates being deactivated, and you conclude also then that they must not have the time to make a proper evaluation in the first place.

kelly626, you've certainly got a point there...
This "deactivation party" is starting to scare many legitimate affiliates here … from the posted termination emails it seems very diffcult to understand what is meant by "inflating traffic", "non-bona fide transactions and your promotional activities or participation in creating the transactions" and the likes.
There was a also debate going on about popups and do they considered to be "forced clicks / redirects" and hence, can that lead to a termination?
Todd, you might want to consider giving some examples of why affiliates were terminated and explain what is considered to be "inflating traffic" and other vague terms we've saw in the termination emails.

Tod has already given an answer:
Quote: "Obviously, I am not going to go into details regarding publishers specific issues."
So, there we have it.
It's obviously a fear campaign aimed at all affiliates. Be good or else!
My experience with affiliate programs throughout the years has been that when programs start going on a fear campaign, it is to counter-attack the defensive position that they themselves have become subject to by affiliates.
Everyone starts pointing the finger at CJ...non accurate reporting, catering to parasites, etc...it gets to the point that even merchants start giving a hand to bring the crap to the surface ...CJ possibly feels a need to turn the table to put affiliates on the defensive.
Will this silence the affiliate community? Will our honest observations (conspiracy theories, if you like) cease to be because we could possibly be the next target of the compliance team?
These and many more conspiratorial comments coming up next on ABW. Don't touch that mouse.

Kelly always makes great points.
Here's what concerns me about this thread.
Real Communication is critical. Blanket form letters are not communication, but rather dictatorial proclamations. Because the potential to shut off our income can elicit considerable fear, the question we should ask ourselves is whether we should be in business with someone who:
- chooses not to communicate, but command.
- chooses arbitrary, closed door, process, instead of public, due process.
[Practically speaking though, we're dealing with an oligarchy. There aren't that many networks (of depth) to choose from.]
Regardless, I think that it is wise to spread your Affiliate eggs over many different network and program baskets, and not rely on the mercy and goodwill of just one.

If you (as a publisher) run a legitimate business, there are never going to be any problems. The issues that result in account deactivations are not gray areas - they are clear violations to the PSA.
We have no interest in deactivating publishers that are running an honest operation - especially if they are earning commissions.
We are interested in building profitable relationships for both publishers and advertisers.
This has been part of our normal business practices since 1998.
Examples that have lead to account deactivations:
1) Filling out your own lead forms in order to earn commissions.
2) Requiring others to fill out leads forms to gain access to information such as passwords to protected sites or pirated software.
3) Submitting sales with stolen credit cards.
4) Spam
5) Forcing clicks to intentionally set tracking cookies.
These are just a few of the reasons but I think it gives you an idea of what I am talking about.

The number 5 reason...do you feel that sites like Jump on Deals is in compliance in this respect?
All one must do is search joann.com coupon code or pick whatever CJ merchant, and find his pages that cause a forced click via a pop-up upon entry to his page.
I was thinking maybe sites like his are overlooked because they earn plenty of commissions.
What's the scoop on this?

I don't think that's the case at all. If Shamrock got tagged in a crossfire, I'm sure it would be corrected: it's in CJ's interest to do so. If Shamrock got tagged because of clear violations, that speaks well of CJ.

This sounds like a violatin. I will forward the site to our network quality department to investigate.

Maybe some of us foreign types just got "targeted" a bit more?
Said Todd: FYI Shamrock is on the other side of the planet.
Said Kelly: Why not primarily target foreign affiliates and such... people with names like Tihan, and affiliates stationed half way across the world?
July 17th, 2003, 07:52 AM #23
For the record, we do not care which country you are from - if you violate the PSA, you may get deactivated.
My reference to Shamrock being on the other side of the world was to illustrate how difficult it would be to contact publishers to discuss things prior to deactivations.

Not wanting to start a fight or flame war, but why are publishers not given 60 days to comply. Surely the forcing click issue is one that has been done by many big affiliates who have over-written cookies by forcing a click. As far as joe affiliate is concerned, if eBates and others get 60 days, why not the little guy/gal?

Yep, if a pop-up is the problem, he should be given his 60 days to correct it.
And, oh, come on! CJ can't afford an overseas phone call? When can we expect to see the bankrupcy announced?
