Ship Weight:0.57 Servings:16 Dosage:0.50 oz. Trace Minerals Research Colloidal Silver 30 ppm. 8 oz. (237 ml) Trace Minerals Research Colloidal Silver is a dietary supplement with over 30 ppm per does of super-oxygenated pure colloidal silver. Trace Mineral Research uses proprietary technology to process this for high quality colloidal silver for maximum effectiveness. You may expect a wide range of nutritional benefits. Why you need ionic minerals:Minerals, the Universe, and YouWhat are minerals anyway? Minerals are nothing more than elements—the very same elements that grace the periodic table inside a high school chemistry text book like chromium, magnesium, iron, zinc, and so on. They are the elements that comprise the entire universe, this earth, and everything on it, including you. Your body is truly a masterpiece formed from these same elements. As such, it is important to constantly replenish your body with the elements it expends on a daily basis. Chemical and electrical processes are occurring within your body at every moment. These processes can only function correctly if the proper balance of minerals is continually being supplied to your system. Iron for your blood, sulfur for your muscles, calcium for your bones, and an aggregation of many other elements in balanced trace amounts help to ensure the proper function of your body. What Are Ions?An ion is a mineral or element that has a positive or negative charge. On the molecular level, that means the element has either too many or too few electrons. This unstable ionic state allows the element to bond readily with water, making it possible for the body to absorb it. In this state, an element has specific positive or negative electrical signatures that cause a dynamic equilibrium to take place. The body can then facilitate changes to move nutrients to the areas that need them. What Are Trace Minerals?You may collect silver coins, wear a platinum ring, or have a gold filling. You've likely sipped tea poured from a copper kettle, eaten a cookie from a fancy tin container, or traveled on an airplane made of titanium. But did you know that these elements and many others—in very small, balanced trace amounts—are critical to your health? Although trace minerals are no longer as plentiful in the foods you eat, they exist plentifully in their proper proportions in the mineral-rich waters of the earth's oceans and seas. The Stripping of Mother EarthTraditionally, eating fresh grains, fruits, and vegetables grown in nutrient-rich soil has been the primary supply for a full spectrum of ionic minerals. Unfortunately in today's world, naturally occurring, nutrient-rich soil is becoming increasingly rare. Eons of vegetation growth and aggressive modern farming techniques have brought many of the earth's minerals to the surface where they have been washed away. Synthesized fertilizers are routinely applied to farms and fields where minerals have been depleted. But man-made fertilizers provide only enough mineral substance to support basic plant life. Numerous trace minerals essential to human life don't get replenished. Where Have All the Minerals Gone?Many of the trace elements once abundant in soil have been washed into the oceans. In the oceans they are found in their proper proportions—the same basic proportions that are found in healthy human bodies. In a few surviving inland seas such as the Great Salt Lake of western North America, these essential elements exist in highly concentrated, salubrious proportions. This healthy, intricately balanced proportion of minerals and trace elements found in sea water is beneficial to the human body. Today, these life-sustaining sea waters contain all of the minerals and elements necessary to support human life. Most importantly, these minerals and elements are ionic and in perfect balance—prime for being absorbed into the cells of your body. The Importance of Ionic MineralsEvery second of every day your body relies on ionic minerals and trace minerals to conduct and generate billions of tiny electrical impulses. Without these impulses, not a single muscle, including your heart, would be able to function. Your brain would not function and the cells would not be able to use osmosis to balance your water pressure and absorb nutrients. To ensure you are getting the ionic minerals and electrolytes your body needs, only choose ionic mineral supplements or supplements that contain ionic minerals. Experts estimate 90 percent of Americans suffer from mineral imbalance and deficiency. A New Plague: Mineral ImbalanceBecause your body requires nearly two thirds of all the elements currently known to man in order to maintain health, keeping these minerals in balance is a complex, yet incredibly vital task. The events of everyday living demand a continual ingestion of minerals. There are 92 known elements, 22 hypothesized others, and hundreds of isotopic variations. It's no wonder that scientists are only now beginning to discover the effects and interrelationships of minerals in human systems, such as how minerals help maintain a healthy balance, and what adverse effects are created by a mineral imbalance. Experts estimate that 90 percent of Americans suffer from mineral imbalance and deficiency. If you are one of them—whether because of frequent exercise, stress, or a diet of overly refined, nutrient-poor foods—your body will attempt to correct the situation in futility, usually resulting in food cravings, muscle cramps, and general fatigue. The Key Role of AbsorptionThe absorption of minerals primarily takes place within the small intestines. As food matter passes through the intestines, minerals transfer into the blood stream through the walls of the intestines by way of the villi. This can only happen if the minerals are in an ionic form. Although stomach acid helps ionize the minerals in foods, a mineral supplement should contain already naturally ionized minerals to be fully absorbed. The Secret of Life in a Dead Inland SeaWestern North America's Great Salt Lake is the world's oldest inland sea. A remnant of the last great Ice Age, the Great Salt Lake in Utah has been collecting and concentrating the minerals and trace elements of the surrounding Rocky Mountains for tens of thousands of years. The result is nutrient rich waters which contain over 72 ionic minerals and trace elements that are eight to ten times more concentrated than regular seawater—in precisely the same proportion as healthy human fluids. It is from this source that Trace Minerals Research harvests the elements and trace minerals that go into every product. What Can You Do?You can start by making sure you're getting enough minerals in your diet. Right? Eat organically grown fruits and vegetables, wholegrain breads and fortified cereals. In addition, take a multivitamin or mineral supplement. That's a good start, but even those measures are likely to leave your body wanting for a full spectrum of properly proportioned, readily available ionic minerals and trace minerals. That's Where Trace Minerals Research Can HelpFor over 35 years, Trace Minerals Research has been dedicated to combating the growing problem of mineral deficiency and imbalance in modern society. By harvesting the health-promoting ionic minerals found in the Great Salt Lake and making them available to the general public, they are committed to being the immutable source for the minerals necessary to maintain proper health. Today, Trace Minerals Research offers over 100 different health promoting products that contain ConcenTrace, the premier ionic mineral mixture produced from the waters of the Great Salt Lake. Over the years, thousands of people who lacked essential trace elements in their diets have felt a difference in their health and well-being when replenishing these vital nutrients. Perhaps it's time you did, too. Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat are ionically-charged minerals?An ionic mineral is an element that has a charge, either positive or negative. On the molecular level, that means the element has either one too many or too few electrons. This unstable ionic state allows the element to bond readily with water, making it possible for the body to absorb it. In this form, an element has specific positive or negative electrical signatures.These signatures combine in a dynamic dance of positive and negative charges whose electric flow helps move nutrients into the body. What are trace minerals?You may collect silver coins, wear a platinum ring, or have a gold filling. You've likely sipped tea poured from a copper kettle, eaten a cookie from a fancy tin container, or traveled on an airplane made of titanium. But did you know that platinum, gold, copper and titanium (along with many others) are critical to your health? Although only minute amounts of these "trace minerals" are needed, the body cannot function properly without them. Yet they are no longer as common in the foods you eat. Luckily, you can find them in their proper proportions in mineral-rich seas. Where have all the minerals gone?Traditionally, eating fresh grains, fruits, and vegetables grown in nutrient-rich soil provided an adequate supply of the full spectrum of ionically-charged minerals. Unfortunately today, naturally-occurring, nutrient-rich soil is not what most food is grown in. Vegetation growth and aggressive modern farming techniques have brought many of the earth's minerals to the surface where they have been washed away. Synthesized fertilizers are routinely applied to farms and fields where minerals have been depleted. But man-made fertilizers provide only enough mineral substance to support basic plant life. Numerous trace minerals so essential to human life are never replenished. Why is absorption so important?You cannot benefit from minerals unless your body can absorb them. The absorption of minerals mostly takes place within the small intestines.As food matter passes through the intestines, minerals transfer into the blood stream through the walls of the intestines. However, this transfer only occurs if the minerals are ionically-charged. Although stomach acid helps ionize dry minerals, a mineral supplement must contain naturally-ionized liquid minerals to be fully absorbed. Why ionic minerals?Minerals that are absorbed in their ionic form are in a liquid solution and have either a positive or negative charge. These charges form your body's communications hub, conducting electrical signals that move nutrients throughout the body, keep the body in balance, and help the muscles function.In fact, without these impulses, not a single muscle (including your heart)would be able to function, your brain function would cease and your cells would not be able to use osmosis to balance water pressure and absorb nutrients. In recent research, minerals have been shown to play a significant role in averting a variety of degenerative diseases and processes. They may also prevent and reduce injury from environmental pollutants, help protect the body against the effects of toxic minerals and enhance the body's ability to work and learn.

Photo courtsey of the National Archives and Records Administration. Forty years ago today, White House Counsel John Dean told President Richard Nixon, "We have a cancer within-close to the presidency, that's growing." During a taped conversation, Dean recapped the history of the bungled bugging and burglary of the Democratic National Committee headquarters and the subsequent cover-up for the President. Dean advised Nixon to remove the cancer by coming clean to the public on the Watergate scandals, otherwise his presidency would be in danger. Instead, Nixon continued the cover-up and doled out hush money in attempts at damage control, and Dean's warning proved painfully correct.

Comments: My go to bait now, never fails to at least get a limit. Works great flipping, and also on a shaky head. Always stock up when you can. The best colors are always hard to find.
From: Drake: Steven Point, WI
Comments: I got the 4" Lake Fork Tube Craw in Green Pumpkin and threw it on a 1/4 oz. football jig last spring. My first fish was over 3 lbs., and they were killing it! The lure holds attractant well. My advice is to use a wide gap hook, (no smaller than 4.0), as the tube body may want to wad up when you set the hook. I also dip-dyed the tentacles in chartreuse, drove 'em mad!
From: Ralph: Mooresville, NC
Comments: Great bait, has always been my go to in the spring. It is too bad you can't find the good colors any more. I have had to turn to Big Bite for what I need. Besides it is the same bait just different scent.
From: John: Arlington, TX
Comments: This is not your normal tube. The profile is quite a bit larger than most and the bait is longer. This gives it a "best of both worlds" feel when comparing it to other tubes and bigger flipping baits. I bed fished with it so I can't comment on the fall, but its great to have a bait that can fish like a jig and have the claws stand up so well, go through thicker cover if need be, as well as having that flare and wiggle of the tentacles to entice the fish. After pitching jigs and beaver baits at the bed fish, the LFT craw tube ended up getting bit because of the thinner profile than the jig and the finesse capabilities provided by the tentacles. There was a noticeable reaction from some very skittish bed fish at the slightest shake. A couple agressive ones were caught after about 2 minutes on this bait and more stubborn fish were able to be caught period. Going to flip docks this weekend so we'll see how good the action on the fall is.
Comments: love these tubes. i love flipping soft plastics and these things never fail me. pretty durable too. 1/4 ounce weight texas rigged on a 4/0 heavy cover hack attack flippin hook and the slow tantalizing fall kills it. GET U SOME!
From: Tyler: The Nasty Nati, Ohio
Comments: Always have one of these tied on. Definitely one of my go to baits! Never leave home without these!
From: Elliott: Tanner, AL
Comments: So these guys were fishing by me then they moved down and i took there spot and they told I probaly wouldnt catch anything because they have been fishing all day there.So the first cast with this crawtube (fork secret) I had a solid 18 incher,there faces were suprised as ever when they saw what i caught.So that was a fun time....get yourself some lake fork crawtubes and catch some fish.
From: Noah: IA
Comments: Fished with these for the last few months and have caught some really nice bass. Texas rigged with 3/8 ounce weight in the crawfish color.

Retirement »
Most Americans watch their money go into the Social Security trust fund in the form of payroll deductions as soon as they begin working, when retirement seems a long way off. As a result, many go through their working lives without giving it much thought.
Here are a few facts everyone should know about Social Security benefits before making any decisions about retirement.
Just about anybody who has worked for 10 or more years is eligible for Social Security retirement benefits.
You need 40 credits or quarters of coverage, earning a minimum income of $1,260 per quarter, according to the Social Security Administration.
The income requirement is so low that "it could be met with seasonal work," says Richard W. Stumpf, a CFP professional at Financial Benefits Inc. in Wichita, Kansas.
There are some exceptions. Most federal employees hired before 1984 aren't eligible to participate, says Brett Horowitz, principal and wealth manager at Evensky & Katz/Foldes Financial Wealth Management in Coral Gables, Florida. Stumpf adds that pastors may choose not to pay in.
Also, railroad workers and their families generally get benefits through a separate retirement system.
The size of your monthly check is arrived at by a series of calculations.
Your primary insurance amount, or PIA -- the benefit you would get at full retirement age -- determines the size of your monthly retirement check. According to the Social Security Administration's website, the PIA is based on the Average Indexed Monthly Earnings, or AIME, as applied to an inflation-adjusted formula. The PIA is then adjusted for whether you take retirement before or after your normal retirement age -- 66 for those now reaching retirement age, but gradually adjusted to age 67 for those born after 1960.
You can begin drawing reduced Social Security as early as 62. For every month you delay after reaching full retirement age, up to age 70, the monthly benefit increases.
In keeping with the original intent behind Social Security -- a way to lift seniors out of poverty -- lower-wage earners get a higher proportion of their earnings than higher-wage earners. The maximum monthly benefit that can be received in 2016 is $2,639 for a worker retiring at full retirement age.

If one partner in a marriage earns significantly less than the other, the lower-earning spouse can collect spousal benefits rather than payouts based on his or her own earnings history.
"The spouse can get the greater of their own or 50% of the other spouse's PIA," Horowitz says. "The lower-earning spouse is not eligible until the higher earner starts getting benefits, but both can start as early as 62."
Stumpf says this option can be a financial planning tool.
"Imagine a high earner whose spouse is his employee," he says. "If they cut her pay and transfer the rest to him, when she reaches retirement age, one-half of his income will be significantly higher than what she earned."
A divorced spouse who was married for more than 10 years and has not remarried can draw against the ex-spouse's work history. Widows and widowers can receive the higher of their own or their spouse's monthly payment, but not both.
"That's why it's important for the higher earner to delay taking benefits for as long as possible," says Horowitz.

According to the 2015 annual report from the Social Security Board of Trustees on the financial status of the program, without policy changes, the combined Social Security trust funds will begin declining in 2020 until reserves become depleted in 2034. After that, Social Security could pay 79% of scheduled benefits through 2034, declining to 73% by 2089.
The year that funds fall short varies somewhat in each annual report depending on economic, demographic and other variables, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, but it has ranged between 2029 and 2042 for the past two decades.

In theory, they're held in trust by the government. But it's not as if your money sits there in the Social Security trust fund waiting for you to retire. After current beneficiaries are paid, surplus dollars are used to buy bonds from the U.S. Treasury. So the trust has the bonds, but the money is now in the Treasury, where Congress can use it for any purpose.
"The Social Security trust fund is ... a piggybank holding paper IOUs from Congress," Stumpf says.
For the trust funds to remain solvent over the next 75 years, the 2015 Trustees Report says, one of these measures would have to be implemented immediately:
According to the report: "The Trustees recommend that lawmakers address the projected trust fund shortfalls in a timely way in order to phase in necessary changes gradually and give workers and beneficiaries time to adjust to them."
Lawmakers have been dragging their heels to make any fixes to Social Security, in part because it's such a hot-button issue.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Nice apartment in good location. Only a few minutes on the U bahn in order to get to main square. Easy check in and check out. Apartment was clean. All in all we enjoyed our stay in Vienna.
Accommodation was lovely and enough for three nights. Location was close to perfect and a subway stop was right outside the door.
A minus rating because of the volume .. you can hear just about everything: D The Vekehr was sort your alarm clock)
Parking is available directly in front of the house.
Unterkunft war sehr schön und reicht für die drei Nächte. Lage war nahe zu perfekt und eine Ubahn Haltestelle war auch direkt vor der Tür.
Ein Minus Stern wegen der Lautstärke.. man hört so ziemlich ALLES :D Der Vekehr war sozusagen dein Wecker ;)
Parkmöglichkeiten gibt es direkt vor dem Haus.
The apartment was not bad and scored with a parking lot in front of the house and a fairly good transport connections (line 1 goes directly from the house away)
Still, it was very loud and you could not leave open the windows at night. That would, however, due to the lack of air conditioning, have been really good, because it had almost tropical temperatures in the apartment.
The apartment was also not really clean and the beds were very saggy ..
All in all, it was for two days in order, not longer, however, it is thought out.
Die Wohnung war an sich nicht schlecht und punktete mit einem Parkplatz vor dem Haus und einer recht guten Verkehrsanbindung (Linie 1 fährt direkt beim Haus weg)
Dennoch war es sehr laut und man konnte die Fenster bei Nacht nicht auflassen. Das wäre allerdings, aufgrund der fehlenden Klimaanlage, wirklich gut gewesen, da es fast tropische Temperaturen in der Wohnung hatte.
Die Wohnung war außerdem nicht wirklich sauber und die Betten waren schon sehr durchgelegen..
Alles in allem war es für zwei Tage in Ordnung, länger hält man es allerdings nicht aus.
It's a great apartment in a quiet location and very convenient for all the sightseeing. Enough space for 5 people. Good sized rooms and comfortable beds.
The things we didn't like: it was not clean and the floor was rather sticky, dishwasher was still full, the bath towels were thin and old.
Everything was perfect! Good location - 2 minutes from the railway line which runs through the center. Very pleasant stay.
War alles bestens! Gute Lage - 2 Minuten von der Bahnlinie die direkt ins Zentrum führt. Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt.
This was a 2-room apartment.
Kitchen (fully equipped) + bedroom + Separate bathroom and toilet.
We had everything we needed.
Location: in 1-2 minutes S-Bahn / subway stations. We lucked out and were able to park the car right outside the door (free).
Schlußelübergabe carried on a kind of mailbox with the pin. Was so easily.
On the whole, we were pleased with the apartment, there were no problems.
Das war eine 2-Zimmer Wohnung.
Küche(komplett ausgestattet) + Schlafzimmer + Getrennte Badezimmer und WC.
Wir hatten alles was wir gebraucht hatten.
Lage: in 1-2 Minuten S-Bahn/U-Bahn-Stationen. Wir hatten Glück und konnten das Auto direkt vor der Tür parken(kostenlos).
Schlußelübergabe erfolgte über so eine Art Briefkasten mit dem Pin. War also problemlos.
Im großen und ganzen waren wir zufrieden mit der Wohnung gab es auch keinerlei Probleme.
We were 1 week in the apartment Menzelgasse in, the stay was very nice, the room very clean and new furniture.
But the only thing that bothered us a bit was not so bad that there was a construction site in the house.
You walk just 5 minutes to the nearest metro station and has very good connections.
Very recommendable !!
Wir waren 1 Woche in dem apartement in der menzelgasse, der Aufenthalt dort war sehr schön, das Zimmer sehr sauber und neue Möbel.
Das einzige was uns etwas gestört hat aber nicht weiter schlimm war, dass dort eine Baustelle war im Haus .
Man läuft nur 5 Minuten zur nächsten u-Bahn Station und hat sehr gute Anbindungen.
Sehr weiterzuempfehlen !!

Oh, crap...
Shit, shit, shit...what do I do now?
For one, I will give Larry a run for his money and have him work, as he will have to move his tush to stay ahead. Will provide some motivation - nothing like a little family-friendly competition, right? Nah, just kidding...but it will provide me with motivation to try and catch him!
And - I am going to Portland this weekend! I've got business to deal with, but I will run the Gorge both mornings, and this couldn't have been more timely as last training runs!
I am psyched and scared, because I was calmly focusing on trying to wrap my mind around breaking 24 at SD100. Now things changed. So did goals. I will have to think about them:)

Hey! I actually will get to see you in a race this year! I doubt I'll be keeping up with either of you guys given all the running you've been doing, but it will be great to see some familiar faces at my first east coast race.ReplyDelete
Running scared for 100 miles doesn't sound like a good time, especially on that course. It should be entertaining, though, for those watching the live results. Sucks I'm trying to recover from Zane Grey. Don't take any naps! ;)ReplyDelete
That's great! There's nothing like a change in plans to get the adrenaline pumping. :)ReplyDelete
Enjoy running in your sanctuary! :)
I saw that you had moved up to #1 on the wait list. Congrats! MMT is a great run and you will love it!ReplyDelete
Oh yeah, and crosslites might not be the best shoe choice....there are a few rocks on the course.ReplyDelete
OMG I've heard all about MMT100. But you are tough and will do great!!!ReplyDelete
careful what you wish for :) :) Congrats on getting in!! Remember, NO Montrail insoles for you!!ReplyDelete
How much fun for you both to be out on the course together!
oooooh, one of my favorite 100 mile courses-- you will love it! and you got a great training run in a couple of weekends ago...ReplyDelete
you'll do great!

Chica-still coming to SD 100? You can do both and excel....georgie..ReplyDelete
I'm excited for you!!ReplyDelete

: When there is a quick spring thaw we get massive water flow into the sump pump hole of chrystal clear water. We put in a four in. drainage pipe below the foundation weeping tile last year which we think took some of the water away. It took 4 sump pumps and a two inch gas pump to keep the water from flooding the basement this year. The pumps ran from Sat. through to Thurs. The house is situated on an all gravel based area.

John Taylor,
John Taylor Veteran
Witness Testimony of John Taylor, Sergeant, U.S. Army (100% Combat Disabled Ret.) 8/6/14
Chairman Miller and members of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, it is an honor to provide testimony before you today.
My active duty combat military experience was with the 101st Airborne Rangers in Vietnam. After seeing many of my brothers die in heated combat situations within the infamous A Shau Valley area of Thua Thien/Hue, and being shot twice and bayoneted on the same day, dying on the MASH unit surgery table (and obviously returned to life), I never imagined any of us would come back home to die directly related to post combat medical care in our VA hospitals. Sadly, as you are now aware, that has become a painful reality.
After being combat disabled retired from the military, I completed my degree in Business Administration, with a Pre-Med Biology minor. Half of my career was spent in corporate management for Dun & Bradstreet. More important to this hearing, I spent the last half of my career (12 years) in medical administration; hospital director, nursing home administrator, medical hospital-satellite manager, urgent care center director, substance abuse center director and psychiatric center director.
In the interest of saving this Committee time with respect to my evaluations and solution recommendations, please let me refer you to a previous field hearing you had on 10 July 2014, "Service should not lead to suicide: Access to VA's mental health care." One of my younger brothers'-at-arms, U.S. Army ( RET.) Sgt. Josh Renschler's gave an excellent testimony before this Committee. Even though we came from different wars, basic problems, observations, and suggested resolutions are essentially the same. I can, however, give you a significant variation I would term "acute rural'ality". Being in a rural, desert community, systemic problems encountered throughout the country are greatly intensified in southeastern New Mexico. As a quick example ; Following the CARES COMMISSION findings during President Bush's last term in office, a Director of Rural Administration was created to help eliminate our acute problem of rural access in our area. As it turned out, that rural administrator responsible for resolving our problems was none other than our Administrator of the Albuquerque VA Hospital,--the very person, historically, refusing our request for local fee-base services. Ineffectual outcomes are obvious.
For the last nine years, I have published a weekly "Veterans Advocate" column in our local newspaper, the Roswell Daily Record. The column is a volunteered, non-compensated, freelance work, having no allegiance to any person or group, except to my brother and sister veterans. Over the years, I've made members of both sides of the aisle uncomfortable to say the least. However, the majority of my rants have now shown to be true. Like so many other public-forum veterans' advocates are asking, " Why did it take the recent deaths of so many of us to prove what we advocates have been claiming for so many years was true?"
It is important to note, our deaths were majorly not due to medical care provided by our VA medical professionals (physicians, nurses and medical support personnel), but from administrative "games" played by VA administrative leaders and by system oversight groups. I've made that statement publicly, several times over the last nine years, only to be ignored or politely told either "were working on a resolution" or "you're not correct in your accusations". Finally, saddest of all, my claims have been validated with the many deaths recently "uncovered" (and still being uncovered) thanks to courageous whistleblowers. The retaliation they received, as you all have been made aware, is the perfect example of the VA's response to anyone questioning the VA's activities. Veterans, families and friends have not, and continue to not, come forward due fear of reprisal. The VA has historically denied this to be true, but as you yourself have recently seen, the VA seems to have a problem with the truth. I personally can offer proof this has occurred long before the recent "awakening".
I have respectfully submitted a few of my VET ADVO columns in support of my testimony today, most of which are 6 to 9 years old. This illustrates real-life catastrophes I have encountered over my nine years as advocate, which were literally ignored or denied as being accurate by our State VA administrators and Government officials. We all now know how invalid the VA denials were, and still are. Two specific sets of columns illustrate factually the problems and battles we have faced with the Albuquerque VA Hospital administrators, consistently denied by the VA as being accurate.
1. The first was a series of columns I did on a chronic PTSD veteran who over the space of more than one year threatened to commit suicide due to his Desert Storm nightmares. His wife approached Col. Ron McKay (USMC Retired) and me with horror stories of her lack of effective treatment for her husband by the VA. Apache (my column name for my brother to respect his privacy) had undergone several "treatment modalities" lasting from three days to three months in-patient sessions. More than once, he was sent home in a cab (for a two and one half hour drive), before which he would ask the driver to "swing by" the nearest Albuquerque liquor store to make his journey easier. His primary substance abuse/dependency directly related to his PTSD was alcohol. Knowing this, his treatment team and or patient discharge planner should have known this was a perfect storm doomed to failure. Each time, Apache return home totally inebriated, once again threatening suicide. He was instructed by his Albuquerque VA treatment clinician to report to a local VA social worker for "after-care". During the first visit (Apache and his wife), as reported by his wife, the counselor asked, "So what is it you want me to do? You know, you could go to AA and get some help." A furious Apache and his wife got up and left. In my experience as a director of a psychiatric center and an inpatient substance abuse center, after-care for either malady requires, at a minimum, the services of a certified psychiatric counselor or certified substance abuse counselor (for facility licensure by Texas and New Mexico), not a social worker. Eventually, Apache was found dead one night outside his house, in spite of repeated request to the VA for help keeping him alive. The VA response? He was non-compliant. In other words, they gave up!
2. The second set of columns dealt with several cases I followed involving the unacceptable six-plus hour round-trip drive to the Albuquerque VA Hospital from Roswell. One involved an 86-year-old veteran with stomach cancer (with an active drainage catheter) who had to be driven to Albuquerque 2 to 3 times a month by his 87-year-old wife, who was in failing health herself. His primary care physician at the VA Artesia clinic had requested approval for him to be seen locally, in Roswell. That approval never came. To this day, I have the uneasy feeling Mr. Borum died prematurely due to the stress this put on his system.
3. Additionally, in one column I actually reported a conference call I had with VA Albuquerque Administrative Staff concerning fee-based (local contract) dental care for 100% service-connected veterans in Roswell. The assurances and "promises" of local contract dental care by administrative heads in Albuquerque were later found to be lies, subsequent to my telephone visit with a staff dentist at the Albuquerque hospital. When I approached the VA Hospital Administrator at that time, he refused to review the incontrovertible evidence I offered him. His response to me (several times) was, "My people don't lie!" I have reliable witnesses to that encounter. To the point of ineligibility for local care (fee-based services) in Roswell, Roswell has been denied local access to fee-based services because it was "determined" by the VA to be less than 40 miles from the nearest CBOC. That also has been a lie each and every time it was offered by the VA. Last week, I measured the actual distance from our nearest CBOC (Artesia, New Mexico), and found it to be (exactly) 45.6 miles to my front door, and 43.8 miles from the center of town, accurately showing half of Roswell is at least 44 miles from the Artesia VA CBOC (greater than the "less than 40 mile" rule). This certainly was not the 38 mile VA calculated distance given in our several denials for local contract services. Additionally, when Taos, New Mexico received a "shadow clinic" which we were also promised, we were denied due to the 38 mile determination. I did a study finding that Taos was in fact closer to its nearest CBOC than Roswell was to the Artesia VA clinic. In fact, there were over 100 clinics built in our quad-state region in violation of the " 40- mile" rule.
I apologize for this lengthy testimony, but after nine years of reporting on these issues and warning everyone of the obvious, predictable outcomes, I hope this report does not, once again, fall on deaf ears. Simply stated; (1) Systems monitored by its own department members (no matter the claims of independent watchdog status) do not and will not work. (2) Paying bonuses to upper echelon administration is a crafty mechanism created by "upper management" to milk the system. I know! I've been there. In my many years as a medical administrator, my reward (bonus if you please) was continued employment next year. The contrived reason for VA bonuses (reported in other House and Senate committee hearings) is to entice and retain competent administrators. That, Hon. Committee members, is a fallacy perpetrated on those who have not worked in the medical arena. Competence in our current VA administration (based on this bonus rule) has been proven grossly lacking among our current VA "hand-pick" wonder kids! In my experience, it's safe to say you would find a sufficient queue of qualified applicants for each VA administrator position you currently find "not up to par". Current doctors and medical administrators being RIF'ed (Reductions in Force) in the Administration's military drawdown could easily and effectively be placed in certain comparable positions recently found "lacking" within the VA administrator network.
I sincerely hope my testimony and attached resource materials will help you with your enormous task of keeping my brother and sister veterans alive once they return home, after surviving death on the battlefield.
I would be pleased and honored to answer any questions you may have. God bless you in your efforts, God bless my brother and sister veterans, and God bless our Nation. Thank you.

{{{Arrow}}} Still loving the new job?
Good evening dear ((HUGS))

Dear Janie, what in the world is that creature next to the joey?
You are well? *Hugs*
Originally they blocked everything. Since I don't go out to lunch, I asked if I could have a couple sites...nothing risque or bad. IT said OK...I told him FR was political and I spent my online time here. He said, "I know". They know where we are and where we have been. I'm a good citizen. LOL! I was gonna have to drag my laptop to work every day if need be.
Job is OK, but the late evening hours are not something I am used to yet.
Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...how was your day?
Rained most of the day here.
Good evening to you too. The pets don't like the heat either. I see a cat on an electrical box almost every night on the evening shift that is just asking to be adopted.
Hi! I am well. That creature next to the joey is a baby wombat. Sorta like a big rat but cute.
Hi Conor!!!
Thanks and G'Day back!!!

INDIANAPOLIS - State Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz testified today before the State Senate Committee on Education about the implementation of Common Core Standards. The following is her testimony.
I appreciate the opportunity to speak before you today regarding SB 193. As the newly elected Superintendent of Public Instruction, this discussion on standards is welcome. For me, and many educators throughout the state, this discussion is not about rebuking the Common Core standards and returning to our former standards; it is about Indiana having rich dialogue about the individual standards that will guide our instruction to insure our children have the best education to give them the best college and career opportunities.
Now that schools have had an opportunity to begin transition of standards from old to new, we need to pause and review the standards, especially in the area of math. In Indiana, math standards and instruction are of prime focus. In many arenas, I hear concern regarding the math remediation of our students leaving high school and going into higher education. Approximately 35 million dollars are spent each year to provide students entering higher education remediation in math. Today, many career opportunities require extensive knowledge in the area of math, and many employers complain that students do not have the math skills needed to directly enter the work force from high school. To address this concern, we need to being with conversation around the standards and then determine the instructional delivery and assessment of those standards. We must have a clear path to make sure our students are successful.
I would envision the review process being completed in 2013 according to the process outlined in the Indiana Code. First, I would establish a standards review committee but expand that process to include public participation. The committee will make recommendations to the Education Roundtable for review and then the standards will come before the State Board of Education for adoption.

Ankle straps are tight after prolonged wear
"I love the look of this shoe and the fit. However if you wear the shoe for 15 hours, the ankle straps start cutting off circulation to your feet. I wouldn't recommend wearing this shoe for prolonged periods of time.Otherwise this shoe is almost perfect. The other straps are extremely comfy and the sole has a nice cushion. I've received lots of compliments on it already."

Syle and comfort in one
"This sandal is very comfortable. It has the classic Sak material over the band of the toes which stretches slightly with wear. Received many compliments the first day. Love the short heel."

cute style, oddly sized
"These have a lot of good design elements going for them. The hand stitching and the variation in the straps, with the crochet, the studding, and the Southwestern pattern are great. Unfortunately, the ankle straps were very tight, and too uncomfortable to wear. The rest of the shoe was appropriately sized, so it seems to be a bit of poor engineering. I ended up returning these, and I rarely return things."

CLEVELAND – Sometimes giving your best effort still leaves you falling short of the goal. That's exactly what happened for the U.S. Fed Cup team on Saturday, when it faced defending champion Italy here at the Public Auditorium.
Try as they might, when the day was done, U.S. Captain Mary Joe Fernandez and her enthusiastic young American team trailed the Italians, who went back to the hotel with a 2-0 lead.
Despite being down, Fernandez was not feeling out of this Fed Cup quarterfinal, knowing that Sunday's schedule still has three matches to play. If the U.S. can win all three of those matches, it can still win the weekend. However, since the World Group format was instituted in 1995, the U.S. team is 0-10 in Fed Cup competition when it trails 0-2.
"The good news is, we're still in it," said Fernandez, who obviously was hoping for a better showing on Saturday. "I told the team before we started today, I really feel like we can win every match. Now the pressure's on.
"Tomorrow is a new day. We start from the very first match to try to get that point on the board and go from there."
Today, as in Saturday, is an old day and not one that went well for Team USA.
In the opening match, the 62nd-ranked Christina McHale put up a fight against the 40th-ranked Karin Knapp of Italy, winning the second set to force a decider. But in the end, Knapp ran away with the third set, racing to a 4-0 lead and taking the match, 6-3, 3-6, 6-1, in two hours, 14 minutes.
"I think I started to really play more aggressive in the second set," McHale said. "When I got the chance, I was really going for my shots more and pushing her back more. It felt like everything just started going better for me."
"Unfortunately, in the third set, I had some chances I didn't capitalize on," McHale added. "Kind of the momentum went back to her side."
It was the second match, however, that really stung the U.S. No matter how hard she tried, the 37th-ranked Madison Keys, who was playing in her first Fed Cup tie, had no answers against Italy's Camila Giorgi.
Giorgi, also making her Fed Cup debut, could do no wrong. She felt comfortable on the court from the outset and never experienced a letdown during her 6-2, 6-1 win. If there was any consolation, not only did it seem like Giorgi was playing fast – Keys' serves appeared to be returned at her feet when she still was concluding her service motion – but it was a quick match, lasting exactly one hour.
"All credit to her. She was playing amazingly," Keys said. "I felt like every time I was trying to get back into a point, hit a good shot, she was hitting another really good one right back at me. I tried to do my best. I thought I fought to the very end. I can only control so many things. Great job to her today."
While Italy went off with a 2-0 lead, its captain, Corrado Barazzutti, wasn't acting as if this Fed Cup tie was a done deal for Italy. He knows there are still three matches to go, and any result is still a possibility.
"We are pleased but not happy," Barazzutti said. "We have to play tomorrow. We need the one point more."

Shortly after 10 a.m. on May 4 searchers located a body in the foothills above Orangeville. A Utah Highway Patrol helicopter was dispatched to lift the body out of the remote and rugged area.
An Emery County man went missing in that area in December 2012. Emery County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue Team conducted searches at that time, both by air and land, but were hampered by winter snowfall. Other organized searches have been conducted recently with negative results.
The search on May 4 was organized by Lt. Gayle Jensen from the Emery County Sheriff's Office. The search group consisted of individuals from the missing man's church. During the search, the lieutenant located a body.
The body has been transported to the State Medical Examiner's Office for positive identification and to determine cause of death.
Emery County Sheriff Greg Funk said the medical examiners office contacted him on Monday and it is now official that the deceased man located is Matthew Alan Larsen.
The Emery County Sheriff's Office has been searching for the missing person since last December. Twenty-five year old Matthew Alan Larsen was last seen in the Castle Dale/Orangeville area of Emery County on Dec. 15, 2012.
Det. John Barnett said the man lived in Castle Dale and was last heard from by family and friends on Dec. 15. Cell phone records indicate his cell phone was in the vicinity west of Orangeville behind XTO Energy.
The missing man did not have his wallet with him. The Emery County Sheriff's Office, Search and rescue and the search dogs combed the area west of Orangeville at the time the man went missing but did not find anything.
Emery County Sheriff Greg Funk said a ground search was conducted on April 27 in the vicinity where the last cell phone signal was detected. The searchers went into the area by ATV and then hiked the cliff areas. The searchers fanned out from this area but did not locate the missing man.
"We are relieved here at the sheriff's office to have this case come to a close. It's very difficult for us and for the family involved, not knowing for sure what happened to their family member. I really want to thank Lt. Gayle Jensen for organizing this search. He had worked a grave yard shift and then went in and organized his church members who combed the area where the body was discovered," said Sheriff Funk.

Waikato ripped the Ranfurly Shield from Taranaki's grasp after thumping their hosts 46-10 at Yarrow Stadium on Wednesday.
Waikato ripped the Ranfurly Shield from Taranaki's grasp after thumping their hosts 46-10 at Yarrow Stadium in New Plymouth on Wednesday.
The Amber and Blacks, firm favourites to hold on to the Log O'Wood for the second consecutive season, were no match for the Mooloos who outscored the home side seven tries to one with wing Tim Mikkelson bagging a hat-trick.
The crucial victory for Waikato (their fourth win from eight games) lifts last year's finalists from a three-way relegation battle with Bay of Plenty and Hawke's Bay – leaving them five points outside the top four.
The Mooloos will have to see off the challenge of Hawke's Bay next weekend to ensure the Shield stays in Hamilton and have a clash in Pukekohe against the impressive Steelers this weekend as they fight to stay in the top division.
Taranaki will try and bounce back as they look to advance through the finals, with their final regular season fixtures coming against Southland and Wellington.
The scorers:
For Taranaki:
Try: Gibson-Park
Con: Climo
Pen: Climo
For Waikato:
Tries: Cummings-Toone, Bradley, Christie, Mikkelson 3, Renata
Cons: Renata 4
Pens: Renata
Taranaki: 15 Kurt Baker, 14 Andre Taylor, 13 Willie Rickards, 12 Jayden Hayward, 11 Frazier Climo, 10 James Marshall, 9 Jamison Gibson-Park, 8 Blade Thomson/Kane Barrett, 7 Chris Walker, 6 Jarrad Hoeata, 5 Jason Eaton, 4 Craig Clarke (capt), 3 Michael Bent, 2 Laurence Corlett, 1 Chris King.
Replacements: 16 Timo Tutavaha, 17 Carl Carmichael, 18 James Broadhurst, 19 Kane Barrett/Blade Thomson, 20 Bernie Hall, 21 Brett Goodin, 22 Jack Cameron.

Z Man Saw Tail WormZ 6pk
Unlike other worms that sink and lay flat on the bottom when at rest, the salt-impregnated Z Man Saw Tail WormZ float up off the bottom and move enticingly - triggering big bass to strike. Perfect for Texas or Carolina rigging, they entice strikes when ordinary worms don't warrant a look. Available in a variety of colors, the durability of the Z Man Saw Tail WormZ 10X Tougher ElaZtech composition means you'll get more mileage from every bait.
What separates Elaztech plastics from other soft plastics is their life-like action, natural buoyancy and unmatched durability. Elaztech baits not only look great, they are also up to 10X tougher than other plastics. They resist nicks, cuts and tears, and that means you're likely to catch a lot more fish on Elaztech before having to replace them.
Do not mix Elaztech baits with standard plastic baits.

Comments: Started using this worm a few weeks ago and was impressed with how well it performed. When all my Rapala lures would not get any bites (not often that happens) this worm made them attack. The way the tail flutters on the way down seems to drive them nuts. I tossed it next to a grass line and within seconds a 3.25 lb bass grabed it and made a B-line into the grass. Forced it back out and brought it in, inspected the worm and not a single tear, nothing it looked brand new. 4 bass later and the same story, Z-man soft baits will last a very long time. There may be cheaper worms out there but in the long term Z-mans wil be cheaper since you will replace them only if you lose them.
From: Daniel: Ladson, SC 5/1/14
Comments: this is a great carolina rigged bait
From: Brandon: PA
Comments: This worm is VERY close to one I used to fish that isn't made any more. But that worm wasn't made out of stretchy stuff like this one. Well, I am back from fishing today and it works just as well as the old one. Rig it up texas style and cast it into shallow water and look at it. You will like what you see.
From: Meatwad: stretchy pants...its for fun.

Live-blogging from inside the "event" provided by WSII skeptics John Lilyea and Thus Spake Ortner.
They are blogging away, reporting on what the various IVAW boys and girls are saying. I can't cut and paste right now - gotta get to work; but hopefully some of you guys will repost stuff here on FR for others to read and debunk as necessary.
One funny thing to report... although skeptic blogger, Thus Spake Ortner, was invited to blog the WSII, when he arrived on site, the lefties, VVAW, IVAW went ballistic and screamed for security to remove him. He had to make a call to the IVAW blogger who had invited him, and she came out and screamed at everybody for screaming at him and being insane. Read his report of that incident, here: "Welcome to WSII. Who are you with? Get the F*** off our property now! Security!".
Also, regarding the blogger links I posted above... John Lilyea (on his "This Ain't Hell" blog) has some videos from inside, for your viewing/debunking/etc.
Heh, they just can't not be what they are, can they?
Classic behavior
Dontcha just love how the peace people love the troops?
Bump for later!
Sounds like the IVAW are following the VVAW provided script to the letter.
many new faces...have to keep watching.
Hope to see you there. Maybe we can kick a little a**, so to speak. Bless you all!
Un-justice at it's finest
