1) During my tenure Amerisave never offered a salary + commission. To my knowledge it has always been 100% commission based and was during the 3 years that I worked there. Also, they never claimed at any point in time that they paid a salary.
2) Since it is a 100% commission sales position they do offer a draw. This is simply designed to assist you when starting out since you need time to build a pipeline and start making commission. That's a good thing. It's also there to assist you if you have a few bad months so that you can weather the storm if that's the case.
3) Keeping that in mind, a draw is essentially a short term loan in which you have to pay them back that amount out of any future commissions. It's a simple concept and is a benefit that most companies don't offer.
It sounds to me as though you had no idea as to what you were getting into. However, you can only blame yourself for that as it's clear you did not do your research or read anything. Otherwise you would understand how the draw works and then realize that draw is a benefit from the company in order to ensure that you have some income rather than no income. In other words they were loaning you your future earnings to help you. These are earnings that you may never pay back to them which is a risk they are taking on you in good faith. You need a salary job and should not be in sales. The draw Amerisave offered saved my butt a few times during my tenure, especially when starting out.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Unless you work for corporate, you should be all commission in this particular line of work. It works the same way no matter where you go. It would seem that you are angry with Amerisave when you should be angry about how little you understood how it worked up-front. Just saying. If you are a salesman/women it is all commission in the good jobs anyway.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I've been thinking a lot about my blog these last few weeks, wondering what i'd be doing with it in 2016 and the honest answer?
When I first started out blogging there wasn't the thousands and thousands that there are today, it was my little corner of the world and I had become totally engrossed in it. I'd spent hours, days, taking pictures, scheduling posts, making lists to things to buy, I met friends through blogging that are still my friends today and I loved it! I blogged a lot more in the beginning and I actually went back and deleted the first two years of my posts because looking back I thought they were awful and didn't conform to the popular blogging styles of today, how silly of me.
The second half of 2014 was a year of change for me, I had to find myself again and I did that with the help of my amazing friends and other half.
2015 was just an incredible year, my favourite to date if that's even a thing. I travelled more than I had before, even if just for overnight stays, and done more that i'd done in the last...7 years or so. We moved into a new flat, I got a job promotion, my friend gave birth to my beautiful Godson, it was just an amazing year.
A few times I sat down to blog but my heart wasn't really in it - i'd get out my laptop at times and just stare at it then decide I didn't want to do anything.
I don't have the need or want to blog anymore. When I look back at it, it was my escape from a life which I wasn't living to the full. I spent all this money that I didn't have, on products that I didn't need, to fill up some gap in my life that never ever seemed full.
Now, i've never been so happy and content, I keep thinking i'll wake up one day and it'll all be over but it just keeps getting better and better.
I still love makeup up, I love putting it on and I love trawling Boots and Debenhams but I don't feel the need to own every single colour of a lipstick line/eyeshadow collection. The last three months or so i've actually been working on downsizing my collection and i'm quite proud of what i've managed to achieve in a short space of time, I even got through a whole blusher which is a first.
My goal for this year is to continue using up all my products and find those few that I love and want to repurchase. I don't think i'll ever get down to owning just one makeup bag - my eyeshadow collection would never fit into it! Eye products whether it be eyeshadow, liner, mascara etc and lipsticks (particularly red) are my total weakness...if I can get everything down to a minimum and have a larger than average eye and lip collection i'll be happy.
So this is probably it for a while, if not forever, if I ever get the urge to blog I will but even writing this is a relief as it takes the pressure off of needing to blog just because.
2016 is going to be a brilliant year, start positive and positive it will be. I'm so excited to see what will happen as the year goes on!

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'USMMA' category.
This 1962 WYTL has looked like this ever since I first saw her, which was likely 2005. She was built early in the string in WYTLs, earlier than the ones still used in the sixth boro and upriver by the USCG.
The photos above and below I took in 2010 in Mystic, and
this one below at the Great North River tugboat race, 2009. Move over, Growler, who's reabsorbed into the James River fleet. And get ready to welcome . ..
. . . that same smile !@#!
Undaunted! Details later.
The last three photos come thanks to Jonathan Kabak of the USMMA Sailing Foundation.
Let's go farther south–i.e., up the Elizabeth. Covered barge . . .
pushed by Gram-Me. Coal?
Capt. Woody and Alexis of w3marine have the best logo. See it better here. Fleetmate Ocean Endeavor was in yesterday's post.
Lorette is one of two Norfolk tugs that used to be Moran boats.
As you can see by the livery, Ellie J is also a Norfolk tug, but although
similar, Stevens Towing's Island Express is not.
Here's a small portion of McAllister Virginia's fleet: Nancy and Eileen. The last time I saw Eileen she was returning a Staten Island ferry post rehab.
Vulcan construction has its logo on a number of tugs here, including Arapaho,
Capt. Ron L, and
VMC Chattanooga.
Alexander Duff is a Vane tug.
Kodiak, here I think leaving the soybean depot– used to be Vane's Capt. Russi.
Kodiak has been in the sixth boro on a few occasions. Here's more of her current fleet: Maverick, ?Southern Star?, and Challenger.
Hoss, like the boats immediately above is also an Intracoastal Marine boat. Hoss is a close relative via Wiley Manufacturing of the sixth boro's Patricia. Sun Merchant, which I saw here in Savannah, is a Vane boat.
Corman Marine's Captain Mac is yet another tugboat in the Elizabeth owned by a construction company.
Camie and Cajun look alike but may be owned by Robbins Maritime and Bay Transportation, respectively.
Three Sisters seems to be owned by a family-oriented company called Smith Brothers.
Elizabeth Ann, operated by Atlantic Gulf Towing, used to be known as El Hippo Grande, a truly satisfactory name for a workboat.
And finally, we seem to have two Skanska-owned boats, Ranger and
Cap'n Ed.
All photos here by Will Van Dorp, who imagined there'd be only about 10 photos in this post about a short section of the waterway in the Norfolk/Portsmouth VA area. For the entirely delightful travel through the area, I am very grateful to the USMMA Sailing Foundation.
A request, though. Over by the Norfolk Dredging yard, I saw their small tug Palmyra through the trees and could not get a good shot. Has anyone taken one over the years? If so, could you share it on this blog? Send me an email, please.
Finally, some of you got an earlier version of this last night when I pushed the wrong button. Sorry about that. I could give other reasons for that error, but it was a slip and I had not intended you to think I had started using placeholder gibberish as captions.
This is day 8 of the GHP&W series, so let me break pattern a bit. If you missed the beginning, GHP&W is not a law firm; it's abbrev for "gunk holes, harbors, ports, and wharves." I haven't dusted off any wharves yet, but two-thirds of the months still lie ahead.
The story here is that TS Kings Pointer was out serving as a training platform and not at Kings Point, although there was a potential meeting somewhere south along our track to Portsmouth, VA.
Mile 1, 0738 Wednesday, heading for the Throg's Neck Bridge.
0756. Passing SUNY Maritime and TS Empire State. Click here for photos from her summer sea term 2015.
0804, Robert Burton, a Norfolk boat.
0907, Mary Gellatly with a sand scow at the southern tip of Governors Island.
1010, passing the northern tip of Sandy Hook but looking back at Naval Weapons Station Earle, with USNS Medgar Evers at the wharf.
1017, Romer Shoal Light and Coney Island.
1517, Capt. Willie Landers northbound off Beach Haven, I think.
1612, FV Jonathan Ryan and tug Pops in the distance.
1618, entering a grid marked "numerous scientific buoys."
1657 off Atlantic City, with unidentified tug and barge
1740 and about to switch watch.
Thursday, 0852, looking north into the Chesapeake after going wide around Fisherman Island.
0910 . . . it's the current TS Kings Pointer, ex-Liberty Star. . .
. . . heading along Virginia Beach
before turning northward toward Long Island Sound. Her former sister ship–Freedom Star–was in the area but we did not see her.
Meanwhile, we head north into the Thimble Shoal Channel Tunnel and into port, which you can follow tomorrow. And that tug and crane barge in the distance . . . survey work for new infrastructure or maintenance dredging?
All photos by Will Van Dorp, with thanks to the USMMA Sailing Foundation for inviting me to crew in winter relocation for Tortuga. It was a smooth trip.
aka GHP&W 7. Kings Point (KP) is to the United States Merchant Marine Academy as Fort Schuyler is to SUNY Maritime College or Traverse City is to Great Lakes Maritime Academy. Today's post is intended to introduce some of the KP boats; if you're interested in the buildings that have expanded beyond the former waterfront estate of Walter Chrysler, click here for a fabulously detailed USACE report on the USMMA's historic district. Walter Chrysler is himself quite the interesting character. Click here for the USMMA Foundation's newsletter.
The boat above–Tortuga or ex-Georgina–was in the basin until last Wednesday. Today's post and tomorrow's feature photos taken Wednesday and Thursday.
The blue-hulled Liberator and the tug Elizabeth Anne are two of USMMA's vessels.
Growler (ex-USCGC Catenary WYTL 65606) has been at the USMMA in KP for about 20 years. Click here for previous Growler posts.
The USCG boats docked at KP include a 29′ RB-S II in front of an RB-S. Tortuga is to the motor vessel to the left.
The white building slightly left of center below is the former Chrysler estate.
Click here for a previous post on Tortuga. Click here for a post I did in 2007 about the previous T/V Kings Pointer; tomorrow I'll post photos of the current vessel by that name.
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
For clarification of geography, King's Point is the first Nassau County town when you drive east from northernmost Queens, i.e., it's Long Island, no longer NYC.
USMMA Foundation vessel Tortuga needed hands for a transit from Kings Point to Newport RI, where it is serving as support for Warrior Sailing program races this weekend. I didn't wait for a second call. I just needed to get there by 0250. No problem, since this IS my favorite time of "day."
Many thanks to Chris.
Many thanks to Jonathan Kabak for the invitation. All photos here by Will Van Dorp, and I have many more.
Click here for numbers on Long Island Sound. Actually this trip involved the Sounds of Long Island, Block, and Rhode Island.
This post shows the second leg of what felt like an epic journey, but first let's back up about 10 minutes. See the small blue vessel just off the bow of Wavertree?
It's a King's Point vessel, and leaning out of the house, it's Capt. Jonathan Kabak, formerly master of Pioneer, Lettie G. Howard, and other vessels.
So let's resume . . . the tow travels west of Caddell and rounds up against the tide, ever so
gracefully–to my eyes–making its way to the dock. Thomas J. Brown and later Rae working the port side.
it took a full quarter hour to spin Wavertree 180 degrees and inch it across the KVK, but then the heaving line flew, followed by the dock line.
Thomas J. and Rae worked this side in coordination with Pelham–invisible all this time from my perspective–on the starboard side.
Lots of money will be spent and sweat expended before the NEXT leg of the journey.
The 2001 (or earlier??) photo below comes from Mike Weiss, SSSM waterfront foreman. It shows a more complete rig.
Also from Mike's FB post, the photo below shows Wavertree in her Argentina barge days. For the saga of Peter Stanford's efforts to get this hull from Argentina to the sixth boro, read A Dream of Tall Ships starting from p. 221. Actually, the whole book makes an excellent read.
All photos except the last two by Will Van Dorp, who is eager to see Wavertree's transformation in the year to come.
From gCaptain, here's a good explanation of National Maritime Day, yesterday.
I wonder what the forgiveness factor for ice-against-hull here is. Bravest surely was pretty in our maybe soon-to-end Puerto Parcialmente Blanco.
RB 45605 was the fifth in this series, which is numbered consecutively and now up to 45774.
Must precautions be taken with these hulls during ice season?
And finally . . . off the stern of Bering Sea yesterday it's the current Kings Pointer. This Kings Pointer started life as a solid rocket booster recovery vessel for NASA.
Click here for another photo of this vessel in NASA colors.
And here's a photo I took back in August 2007 of the previous Kings Pointer, now known as General Rudder and based in Texas.
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
The race may last for less than 10 minutes for (most) boats, but each participant spends hours before and after. Here, using the power of thousands of conceptual horses and one very real donkey, all four vessels in Miller contingent make their way upriver.
At Pier 66, crew on deck and crew below start them up.
Lady B (read her interesting history here and here, the latter explaining that the "B" stands for either "Benazir" or Bhutto."
For boats that arrive on the scene early, Red Hook may have come straight from a job delivering bunker to Norwegian Breakaway, there's time for what might look like lollygagging, and
(in these next two shots from William Hyman) saluting the spectators or just
being seen. Does Seagus have another name?
But it's also getting acquainted time.
Some regulars didn't show, and other vessels arrived that I'd never seen before.
I had to look up South River Rescue Squad attending the Great North River race . . .
Somewhere in the attractively dressed race day crew on Jake-boat Resolute are two of the principals of tugboatinformation.com . . . hi Birk and Craig, as well as the force majeure aka Rod behind Narragansett Bay Shipping.
This kayaker stays well out of the stream.
The white bowstriped vessel–Lt. Michael P. Murphy– in the distance won the prize for persistence, finishing the course in a historic half an hour . . . spending most of that time doing a mid-race-course onboard repair.
Despite forecasts of storms–and rain north of the GW Bridge–the only lightning I saw was here and
thunder from the crowds on the piers. That's the intrepid bowsprite showing us her drawing/painting arm.
Spectators took advantage of any platform.
More soon. Thanks to William Hyman for his fotos, especially the one of an exuberant W. O. Decker, which I featured hard at work using Seth Tane fotos from over 30 years ago here. Click here for John Huntington's superb fotos from a wet place in the race . . ..
Again, my hat's off to all who must work on Labor Day, including my son, who always works holidays for the higher hourly rate. And if you're inclined, read what Paul Krugman has to say about Labor Day.
There are many blues in the sixth boro . . . besides my own. Saturday I caught an unexpected glimpse of King's Point Liberator.
DonJon has their unmistakeable blue.
But then there's this one, which mesmerized me for the first time almost six years ago and when the vessel was just off the ways.
Palva is a midsized vessel of the NesteOil fleet.
And these blues are just part of their corporate colors scheme.
No matter . . . I'm still captured by these colors,
arrested and drawn in.
Five years ago I wrote: "It's the color of sky, water, twilight ice, and distant land." When Palva left for sea yesterday, it's destination was Murmansk, possibly 11 days away.
Murmansk . . . exotic though not balmy. Fair winds and frazil ice . . . if any.
All fotos by Will Van Dorp, who's frustrated by wordpress interface changes which prevent the fotos from enlarging when you click on them . . . the way they used to. If anyone has a solution, let me know, svp.
Working Harbor Committee win an award for perpetuating this event and calling it race AND competition. And at the expense of making this post almost as long as some of those cinema and music award shows, I'd like to add some aditional awards . . .
like for "best improvised bowsprit on a tugboat" . . . Ross Sea, [doubleclick enlarges all fotos]
"most spirited better-late-than-never" . . . The Bronx, [more The Bronx soon]
"best press boat disguised as a tugboat" again, The Bronx,
"best connection to the cliff at Weehawken" Sea Wolf,
"best crew-to-crew face off . . .
. . . over a series of two fotos" to Pegasus and Ross Sea,
"most crew rallying on the foredeck" Maurania III.
Next we have many line handling awards. First up, "best right-hand follow through form" to Quantico Creek,
"best send the whole coil at once" to Sea Wolf,
"best hand and leg follow through form" also to Sea Wolf,
"best mascot with cute purple antennae" also to Sea Wolf . . . might this BE THE sea WOLF?
"biggest line-thrower cheering section" Maurania III,
"best facial expression" to Susan Miller,
"best overall posture award" Ross Sea,
and now a break from line-throwing awards . . . best photographer-aloft . . . Shipshooter on Ross Sea.

…put-turns-on-the-quarterbitt'" Pegasus,
"best and longest lariat twirling followed by the
longest throw" Growler. Note for next year . . . the Growler crew might decide to dress as rodeo folk, given that the 30-second lasso-demonstration prompted a comment from some unnamed person behind me . . . "Next year for Growler we should replace that bollard with a fiberglass cow." Great showmanship!!
"best winch-matching costume" the inimitable Jeff Schurr, frequent and erudite commenter on this blog.
"best Lab mascot" . . . Peaches on Ross Sea,
"best mascot with a hat and pin" Salty of The Bronx,
And "my favorite mascot and name," goes to the bantam fowl named Jack E. Sparrow . . . of the mighty Sea Wolf crew.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Being that this was my child's first time away from home, I played it safe and enrolled her for only one of the three sessions which were offered by the camp. I was told by Camp Shane's staff that it was possible to enroll for additional sessions in the future; this sounded great. Feeling confident about enrolling my child into this camp which offered to help my daughther become healthy, I gave them my personal account information thinking that they would only charge me for the session I enrolled my child to attend. Well, I got a rude awakening. Camp Shane charged me twice for session 1; I did bring this to their attention. I told them to keep the overcharged amount to cover session 2 which I had decided to extend to that session. But the charges did not end there. Even though, I did not extend to session 3, Camp Shane decided to charge me for session 3 anyway , and to make matters worse , they made an unauthorized withdrawal from my account (behind my back). I thought , maybe, this was a mistake; I called and notified them about the charge. Instead of doing the right thing and return my money, they lied and said I extended to session 3, and that they do not make refunds. Confused, I assured them that my daughter was home before session 3 started and that I never extended to session 3. I also reminded them to look at that thing called a "contract" and tell me what did they see. I was told that does not matter to them. I asked to speak with the owner, David Ettenberg who I thought would be eager to resolve the issue. Well, suprisedly, Mr Ettenberg has been going along with the lie that I extended my daughter to session 3. He has told several lies to the point where he has made up information and sent it to Better Business Bureau( of course, I have filed this information to them). My mouth dropped when I read the information , Mr. Ettenberg, supplied to BBB. It was all lies. This man is willing to lie in order to keep my money.
Also, my child's 10lb weight loss was short-lived. She regained the weight really soon. Let me explain why. Well, the program is a failure. They feed the kids very little (I have issues with how much nutrition the children are provided; they do not put their menu on the web like other weight loss camps). Moreover, the children exercise all day long. You would think this is great. However, this is not a realistic schedule. In the real world , these kids cannot take up exercising all day long. They have school to attend; they have to study; they go out with friends. In addition, the camp is staffed only with undergraduate college students who have not even finished school; this includes the dietician (not licensed) and fitness trainers. Unfortunately, a lot of bad eating habits are related to psychological problems. Well, your child will not receive any psychological therapy here, because it is not offered. And, you would think this camp has a medically approved scale to measure weight; there is no medically approved scale at this camp. They us a scale that you can pick up at Walmart to monitor the kids weight.
Don't send your young kids to this camp. My daughter's soap and deodorant was still packed in her bags in the original wrapping, untouched. She lost nearly all her clothes even though they were labeled. Did they monitor her activity? She is a younger child who needs to be monitored more than the teenagers; however, this attention did not occur. This camp should not accept younger aged children if they are not prepared to care for them. My daughter has asthma and they were notified about this; they did not help her keep track of her inhaler; moreover, she was not permitted to go to the nurse as much as she needed for her asthma exacerbations.
Lastly, those reviews on Camp Shane's website cannot be trusted. Keep in mind, a lot of these kids who are obese , do not have a lot of friends; they are shunned at school and the community. Camp Shane is the only place where they come into contact with kids who look like them and have the same problems. The kids feel accepted here and this makes them happy. Like most parents , when the kids are happy, the parents are happy. Most of Camp Shane's clients are repeat campers. They have to repeat the sessions to lose the weight that they have regained, and they want to be back with their friends.
Thus, I would like to advise people to avoid sending your children to Camp Shane. Camp Shane/David Ettenberg is not above sneaking money from your bank account. Moreover, Camp Shane offers incompetent services to help your child maintain weight loss to become healthy.

#1 UPDATE Employee
45+ years of success and positivity
AUTHOR: Dan from Camp Shane - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, December 21, 2012POSTED: Friday, December 21, 2012
Our camps have been exceedingly examined and praised in the media, having been featured on a variety of shows and publications, including MTVs Made and True Life, as well as ABCs Growing Up Fat, Dr. Phil, 20/20, A&E, Discovery Health, TLC, BBC, FOX News, Sundance, Newsweek, TIME, New York Times and many others.
Our menu(s) are created and certified by a Registered Dietitian. We serve approximately 1750 calories per day in three meals and two healthy snacks. The onsite nutrition counselor (Camp Shane Arizona) was a college graduate with a degree in nutrition, and is on the serving line for every meal insuring proper serving portions.
In AZ, campers wake up early and do physician activities while the weather is quite pleasant the camp being high elevation and
typically about 15 degrees cooler than Phoenix. After that, everyone goes into the pool, then lunch, rest hour and non-physical activates the rest of the day. These include activities such as nutrition classes, cooking classes, arts and crafts, theater, horseback riding, etc.
There is a health center also onsite which is run by registered nurses.
Maintaining weight loss is a job that ultimately falls on each individual, and in the case of children, their parents. However, we are at their constant disposal and have weekly blogs on our websites that are readily available.
Further, we never unlawfully charge anyone without proper authorization, and all contracts are clear and concise. They state, in detail, the pay breakdown for each session and we always confirm with parents the number of sessions they wish to have their children attend. The latter is a very important part of our program as most children are flown in from around the country, and we need to be properly prepared for their stay.
Our contracts all clearly state that one payment is made, there are no refunds.
After 45 years, and serving 20,000+ campers, it is inevitable that some bad reviews are made because it is impossible to please
everyone to the degree in which they desire, but we continue to do our best and that is represented with thousands upon thousands of 5-star reviews. We want everyone who attends our camps and their familys to be pleased with their experience,
and will continue to look to improve each and every year to be the very best we possible can be in all aspects.
If you have any questions or are interested in attending one of our camps, please visit our websites: www.campshane.com
or www.shanedietresorts.com
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

The Hay profile method is a system developed by the Hay Group for determining the value of a particular job to an organization. The main advantage of the Hay profile method is that it enables companies to base pay structures on a neutral and objective standard so they are both fair to the employees and legally defensible.
The Hay Method
Companies can base their pay structures on the personal decision of the owner or the negotiation skills of the person who applies for the job. The disadvantage of this approach is that two people who hold similar positions at the same company can be paid very differently, raising questions of pay equity and fairness. Companies looking for a standardized way to evaluate pay structures can use a job ranking system where each job is assigned a level of importance, a job classification system where jobs are categorized into pay grades or a points system. The Hay method is a points system, which assigns points for many different factors to determine what a job is really worth.
The Hay method evaluates every position in the company for know-how, problem-solving and accountability. Know-how refers to the knowledge an employee would need to perform the job, such as the skill to run a machine or close a sale or write a software program. The Hay method does not distinguish between different types of know-how, so a job requiring extensive technical experience and a job requiring formal education could both be rated as needing the same amount of know-how. Employees with one type of know-how but not another do not need to worry that they will be unfairly penalized. If they have the know-how needed for the job, that is all that matters.
The Hay method evaluates the problem-solving skills needed to perform a job based on the level of challenge presented by the problems and the environment in which the problems must be solved. For instance, a mechanic conducting repairs in a noisy, cramped and potentially dangerous working environment faces a more complex and stressful problem-solving situation than an accountant adding sums in a quiet office. Every job requires some level of problem-solving skills, but the Hay method provides a way to quantify the level of difficulty involved.
The Hay method evaluates accountability based on the level of autonomy in the position, the level of authority or influence over an organizational area and the relative importance of that area. For instance, a manager might have some autonomy and authority over a single sales team, but the VP of sales would have far more autonomy and authority over far more people. The manager would be held accountable to some extent for a failed sales strategy, but not to the same extent as the VP of sales. The Hay method has the advantage of quantifying the relative value of extra responsibility.

Leading Plastic Surgeon Announces Bacteria Alert From Plastic Surgies Done In Dominican Republic
Renowned surgeon Dr. Paula Moynahan of CT & NY, a double-board certified plastic surgeon, warns the medical community and CT/NY residents of a serious threat for people who had plastic surgery performed in the Dominican Republic.
The CDC advisory Dr. Moynahan received is aimed at all professionals working in the fields of plastic surgery, dermatology, primary care, family, emergency and internal medicine, general surgery, infectious disease, laboratory medicine, and infection control. "As a physician who has worked in the Connecticut and New York medical arenas for decades," commented Dr. Moynahan, "I feel obligated to reiterate the CDC's alert to as many local area practitioners and residents as possible. These cases have been identified specifically in the northeast region of the United States. It is imperative that all health-care professionals and recent plastic surgery recipients outside the U.S. be aware of the seriousness of this bacterial infection."
With offices on Straits Turnpike in Middlebury, formerly in Waterbury, Dr. Moynahan is the founder and director of the Institute of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery in Middlebury and at 800 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. She reported that the Division of Global Migration and Quarantine, and the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP) at the CDC issued the urgent alert for plastic surgeons and all health-care providers to be aware of "rapidly growing Mycobacterium infections from plastic surgery cases that were recently performed in the Dominican Republic."
Dr. Moynahan stated that the CDC reported 15 cases have been identified in five states which prompted numerous state and local health departments across the northeast United States to issue advisories for health-care providers to be aware of the condition. "It is important that health-care providers notify their local health departments if they should identify or suspect such a case," stated Dr. Moynahan. "Unfortunately, the popularity of medical tourism to destinations outside the U.S. does not alert people to the many dangers of undergoing surgery in a foreign country. It fails to inform travelers to the severe lack of surgical safety measures, and if a post-surgery problem should arise, there is no surgeon available to address resulting medical problems."
Both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and Dr. Moynahan emphasized that, "These surgical-site infections represent a serious public health problem that can affect patients who chose to undergo low-cost plastic surgery procedures outside the U.S., in this case, the Dominican Republic." ASPS Patient Safety Committee Chair C. Bob Basu, MD, MPH, commented, "Medical tourism may attract patients with 'cheap deals', unfortunately these deals may compromise, or worse, completely ignore, recognized quality and safety standards.
This current threat of Mycobacterium infections underscores why it is vital for patients to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon who is an ASPS member. Our members, such as Dr. Paula Moynahan, only perform procedures in fully-accredited facilities that ensure the highest standards for infection control and patient safety."
Dr. Paula Moynahan is a graduate of the Medical College of Pennsylvania. She completed her residency in General Surgery and Plastic Surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York and serves as Attending Staff Member in Plastic Surgery at that hospital plus St. Mary's and Waterbury Hospitals in Waterbury. Her professional memberships include the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the Connecticut Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, and she is a past president of the New Regional Society of Plastic Surgeons. She also serves on the Board of Trustees at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn.
Dr. Moynahan is included in Castle Connolly "Top Doctors in America", Guide to America's Top Surgeons, America's Registry of Outstanding Professions and Strathmore's "Who's Who". She was an invited speaker at the 2008 International Masters Course on Aging Skin conference held in Paris, France. In 2005 she was named one of the Top Irish Americans of the Year, the Best and Brightest in America. In 2007 she received the Boys' Town of Italy "Humanitarian of the Year Award", and the Momentum Award from Ceslie: The Women's Network.
To learn more about Dr. Moynahan and her services offered at her 687 Straits Turnpike office in Middlebury call 203-754-4125, and for her Manhattan office at 800 Fifth Avenue, call 212-535-0800. More information can also be obtained at http://paulamoynahanmd.com.

Custom Batcave
Posted 21 May 2006 - 12:32 AM
Ok so as Bat month is here i thought it time that i posted my custom Batcave, this cave is roughly based on the cave that is shown in the Batman Animated Series and the Justice Lague Cartoon. I decided to make the cave in all dark grey as i feel that its going to be a dark cave (duh) and mixing greys just didnt work for me. Ive also left bricks hanging out so that it looks more natural.
So here we have a long range view of the cave the whole thing measures 58x88x58 and is 36 studs high. I have put a front edge around the cave so that it looks more enclosed.
Here ive added a work table station and a weapons holder wall for all batmans weapons, as the bats must use loads and lose lots i figure he will need to make more.
AS you can see ive included a giant joker playing card and a dinosaur as all version of the batcave have had some version of each in them.
In this pic you can view both my custom batmobile and the offical batboat, as these are the only 2 sets i have their the only ones that are in the cave but i have made sure that more vehicles can be added.
Also you can see that i have put a chain around killer crocs boat that ive hung from the rafters as a captured vehicle. Also to the side of the batboat you may be able to make out a small cave that can house robin boat.
Here we have another pic of the vehicles and the exits that they can use.
As i dont have the offical batcave ive had to come up with my own bat computer till i get one,when i do ill add the offical one, i like this version as ive tried to place it inside of a rock wall.
In this pic you can see a few of the batmans prised items that hes captured, in the background of the pic you can also see a vault that houses old batman and robin suits, i will be adding more in the next few weeks to the vaults.
And lastly heres a closer pic of the entrance to the cave and the vehicles.
Well i hope you like my custom batcave and any suggestions on how to improve it are welcome and any suggestions on how to make a giant coin are really welcome :-D
If anyone wants more pic then let me know...... *vader*
Posted 21 May 2006 - 12:44 AM
I really LOVE it *wub* Thats a cave !! There were several on BS, but yours is way way better mate !!
First, I love the "organic" feel of the cave !! Its really raw !! And I love how you integrated everything around that raw look: take the computers for instance ;-)

I intende to add a custom batgirl costume and a nightwing one to the vault at some point, the croc boat can of course be removed and replaced by any bat vehicle.

Again, great work!
Posted 21 May 2006 - 01:24 AM
There's so many awesome details you've included, and overall it looks awesome. I really like that you pretty much inclosed it in a cave, like it should be, instead of just adding a few walls here and there to make it look like it could be in a cave... I really envy your collection of dark grey.
A truly great MOC. How long did it take to build?

Although it's probably meant to be something different and unrelated, I can imagine that actually is one of Ogel's Ice Orbs in the trophy area...which creates a very interesting history for LEGO Batman there :-D
That's a lotta bricks too

I like the gadget wall and the killer croc boat thing hanging from the ceiling. It all flows smoothly from one area to another

Joe adding the joker copter is possible but it might look alittle bit crowded once ive added the batwing, dragster and batski, as for making it bigger well its down to money again.

Well as i stated at the start i left it bland as you put it on purpose after all it is supposed to be a cave ;-)
As for using bits from the offical set i also wrote that i would be using bits from it when i have it, however im not sure that the hydrolic turn-table will fit, but the computer screen and vault is a must.

Skip to comments.Why is the Pope so Popular?
Posted on 06/14/2013 6:42:52 AM PDT by marshmallow
The secret of success that has brought Pope Francis into good graces with evangelicals.
Last Friday morning, the newly elected pope met with Jesuit students of all ages. In a brief Q&A session, a little girl asked Francis if he wanted to be the pope. He made a few jokes before getting serious and flatly saying, I didnt want to be pope.
Ever since his election, Pope Francis has taken a series of actions that seem to be very, well, un-popelike: He used public transportation as a cardinal, he lives in smaller quarters than he could and he asked for a blessing before giving a blessing to the crowd which gathered in St. Peters square on the day of his election.
What is stranger than Pope Francis actions has been evangelicals reactions. Never before has a pope become so widely accepted by Protestants and evangelicals. In a recent Op-Ed for Christianity Today, Timothy George called the new pope, Our Francis, Too.
The pope is popular with evangelicals not because hes doing what they already do, but rather because he is doing what they are not doing but wish to begin doing.
As you look at the stories surrounding the new pope, its very difficult to dislike him. Through his actions and his profound, visible humility, Pope Francis has demonstrated a Christ-like character, not only Christ-like rhetoric. And this has brought him respect across the spectrum of Christianity.

The secret of success that has brought Pope Francis into good graces with evangelicals.
I think the Unitarian church members really like him, though.
I would like to posit my own view. I think evangelicals particularly value people who act out of their convictions - out of their faith and are able to convey, in a personal way, how it works, what God has done for them and how they should respond because of it. This Pope is particularly good at that. His faith seems enlivened by knowing Christ not muted by being "religious".
God is a continuing revelation of goodness, mercy and wonder - He seems to get this and it is thoroughly seen in his response - love for others.
As to the author thinking that they admire what that don't do - ("because he is doing what they are not doing but wish to begin doing") - well what a weighty judgement that is to pass on millions of unknown brethren.
I don't see that this pope is any more popular with evangelicals than the last two. And "Christianity Today" is last place you'd go to pick up on the pulse of evangelical opinion.
You just keep telling yourself that, if it helps you sleep better at night.
Nuff said.
I have not studied this guy but there dos seem to be a theme developing out there. Does he seem to be doubting capitalism and free enterprise? If so, he is leading people astray. Capitalism and free enterprise have alleviated poverty, not the other way around. A background as a Catholic priest in Argentina may not be a very good frame of reference to gain insights from.
egangical = evangelical.
Sorry. ;-)
I have not studied this guy but there dos seem to be a theme developing out there.
The pope is for catholics, just as the head of any religious organization is leader of that particular organization. The only difference is that the pope's religion gives him a unique divine authority that Christianity rejects.
Always appreciate your balanced, sane insights......:-)
Although technically not a babyboomer, Francis is the first of his kind to reach the top level of the church hierarchy.
He is the embodiment of the "Spirit of 60s" Vatican 2 religiosity.
For now, and perhaps the next 1-2 popes are going to be just like like him.
This is the hour that the "Church of Nice" reaches its pinnacle
The person who wrote this is completely DELUDED.
Have you read what he actually said or do you take things through a DLEMM filter?
My theory is that it has something to do with the secret sauce in Catholicism!
Have you read what he actually said or do you take things through a DLEMM filter?
**Our Francis, Too.**
What do the evangelicals here on FR say?
AAC, you forgot that cuban leaf both speaks Italian fluently and has absolutely no agenda.
What sort of things has he said that makes evangelicals think he's off the reservation?
-— this guy has made so many quantifiably whacky statements in such a short time ——
Just make sure that you're judging the stuff between quotation marks, and not the paraphrasing.
For some reason, Protestants, who are generally skeptical of the media, become very credulous regarding media reports of papal statements.
"I dont see that this pope is any more popular with evangelicals than the last two"
John Paul I was only pope for one month. Not enough time to be popular.
I am an Evangelical and I like Francis. He is a good guy.
So? My statement didn't include him.
AAC, you forgot that cuban leaf both speaks Italian fluently and has absolutely no agenda.
The main ones involve his interpretation of Grace. And not coincidentally, Grace is THE main thing that separates Christianity from all the man made religions.
I for one both admire and appreciate Pope Francis.
Full disclosure: I have a lifetime of experience in the Evangelical world; born & raised in a conservative Baptist church; educated in Evangelical schools; earned Ph.D. and taught at Evangelical college; many published books on bible & theology topics; former missionary.
The above doesn't make me one whit better than any other Christian. I mention is solely because there are some on this forum who assume that a "true" Christian who "knew what the Bible says" wouldn't have anything to do with "popism" (who is probably the Antichrist anyway).
I like how Francis talks about having a simple faith in Christ, which for me is the heart of Christianity. Would that we could "agree to disagree" on non-essentials and appreciate those who come from a different background.
The main ones involve his interpretation of Grace. And not coincidentally, Grace is THE main thing that separates Christianity from all the man made religions.
Here is a thread:
I have also been taken aback by some of his comments that sound sort of socialistic. "the voice of the poor", "if you throw away food you are stealing from the poor", etc.
Then I think what is the best way to help the poor?
Capitalism and free enterprise has helped the poor more than any system of government. Socialist countries often use the poor as their excuse to rob the rich but they never really help the poor.
So the Pope is pointing out a problem but he is not saying how to go about solving it. Which is entirely correct because he deals in faith and morals in pointing out the misery of the poor. He does not discuss governmental systems which are the probable solution to lifting them out of poverty.
I'm an atheist, and I like Francis.
Just make sure that youre judging the stuff between quotation marks, and not the paraphrasing.
I've been burned too many times on FR back in the 2000's by believing a paraphrase of someone's words. When I see a headline about someone like the pope saying something they should never say, I've learned that most of the time it is someone just misinterpretting his words. It's why I not only looked for the original translation of his comments but also the the context.
Sometimes people (even the pope) really do just misspeak.
Bravo! I suspect that Francis would very kindly encourage you to be open to Faith.
Oh, OK.
FYI, The Vatican saw such press coverage in Catholic sources and was mortified. The Pope said that Catholics can work with atheists to accomplish good works, not that such works merit salvation. When he said, "[w]e will meet one another there," he meant where good works are done, not in Heaven.
Which misses the whole point of works regarding salvation.
And salvation is why Jesus was born.
Me too.
**a simple faith in Christ**
Right... that's my point: he wasn't talking about salvation, merely cooperating with non-believers. I would, however, argue, that such cooperation may be a starting point for conversion.
The last 2 popes were John Paul II and Benedict. John Paul I preceded John Paul II.
The current Pope is popular with both liberals and conservatives—with liberals because he is a liberal; with conservatives because he is the Pope and everything he does or says is interpreted as "conservative."
Jesus died and was raised for them as well. His redemptive embrace was for all, not just a chosen few.The choice to accept its reach is our own. The Holy Father was not teaching anything new. In fact, this hope that all who do not yet know God are not only capable of doing good - but will progress toward that knowledge of God by doing good - is ancient. The Church wants all men and women to be saved.This is the same as the prayer on Good Friday:
Let us pray also for those who do not believe in Christ,that, enlightened by the Holy Spirit,they, too, may enter on the way of salvation. Almighty ever-living God,grant to those who do not confess Christ that, by walking before you with a sincere heart, they may find the truth and that we ourselves, being constant in mutual love and striving to understand more fully the mystery of your life, may be made more perfect witnesses to your love in the world. Through Christ our Lord.
I worked with an elderly priest for many years.He was very popular.His motto was "Keep it simple"Pope reminds me of him.
This is the same as the prayer on Good Friday
I remember praying a lot for the Berlin wall to come down. I didn't pick a particular day to pray, though. I gotta admit when I answered that prayer my jaw dropped.
It's part of the Mass Propers for Lent. One of the prayers for Good Friday.
Of course one may pray for atheists or offer special intentions for them at other times.
My apologies! Forget Benedict, getting old!
<...."Christianity Today is last place youd go to pick up on the pulse of evangelical opinion."....>
You are sooooo right about that!
Nope...he's not mine. Though I think he's doing more to clear out the junk in the Vatican. I respect anyone who goes after the bad guys....he seems to be willing to do that.
You might be taking this boomer thing entirely too seriously. There isn't some universal, global, genetic mutation related to being born from 1946 to 1964.
Francis was born in 1936, in Argentina, where by law the President and vice-president of the nation had to be members of the Catholic denomination, and he was teaching high school (in Argentina) by 1964, I don't think that he has anything to do with being a "boomer".
I also have concerns about some things he has said; sometimes things he doesn't say/leaves out.
For example, his "Atheists are Redeemed" homily was unclear on whether atheists are *saved* by failing to mention more about the Church's teaching on their salvation and by calling them children of God of the *first class*. It's no wonder that so many didn't get what he was saying.
And I'm Catholic. Of course, other Catholics take issue with my concerns and I wouldn't be able to make these comments on certain Catholic websites, but it is how I feel. I wish he would stick with stronger homilies that make it very clear that he is Pope of the Catholic Church, not the "Wishy Washy Church of Nice".
I don't want a "popular" Pope.
And did you know that the Vatican official (Fr. Rosica) who "clarified" his comments called "original sin" *so-called* original sin.
Um, since when is original sin a question? Since when is it no longer a Church truth?
If you have no enemies, you're not doing anything. ;-)
"Ive just taken his comments one at a time. Some were so contrary to the message of the bible"
You mean like feeding the poor and not thinking you are better than someone else? Yea, really revolutionary thoughts there. Can't find them anywhere in the Bible.

- Very pleased Review by Dale
I purchased the bottomless portafilter for a Gaggia classic. The fit and build quality are fine. We are making better espresso with this than with the factory supplied portafilter.

- Great fit for Gaggia Classic Review by Stiven
Fits perfectly on the Gaggia Classic, and the texture of the crema is a lot fluffier. It's also a lot easier to clean than the original portalfilter.
The triple basket that comes with it works very well too. I highly recommend this portafilter if you own a Classic.

- Amazing addition to my gaggia classic Review by john
This bottomless portafilter is nothing less than amazing. Excellent quality chroming over solid brass casting makes for a quality piece.
It's handsdown twice as nice and easy to use as the factory added portafilter. The crema from the bottomless is off the hook! Nothing but crema and I'm not sure why, but that's what it is.
I'd strongly recommend this addition if you're looking for the best extractions from your gaggia.
