Egg slicer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An egg slicer is a food preparation utensil used to slice peeled, hard-boiled eggs quickly and evenly. An egg slicer consists of a slotted dish for holding the egg and a hinged plate of wires or blades that can be closed to slice.[1][2]
It was invented at the beginning of the 20th century by the German de:Willy Abel (1875-1951) who also invented the bread cutter. The first egg slicers were produced in Berlin-Lichtenberg.[3]

Cabernet Blog
Welcome to the Silver Oak community! Here you can read the latest from our wineries and vineyards, learn about upcoming events and join in the conversation about all things Silver Oak.
Harvest Update from Nate Weis: August 24, 2015
We managed to escape the heat last weekend and early this week and water was used wisely to keep canopies healthy and grape berries hydrated. The forecasts now call for a stable period of seasonal temperatures well within the ripening and vine function ranges, although we are keeping our eyes on the possibility of showers next weekend (August 29th). The beginning of this week we saw the return of a thick and stubborn marine layer that took a long time to burn off: a welcome homecoming in our eyes.
In the fields, flavors are progressing in all varieties, but there is a sense of tranquility as sample chemistries, like the weather, are stabilizing and offering the opportunity for patience. An interesting marker of this vintage is surprisingly small berry sizes. Pinot noir has a well-documented tendency towards producing hens and chicks (clusters with berries of different sizes and levels of maturity. Normal sized berries are the "hens," smaller berries are the "chicks") but it is especially prevalent in many vineyards this year. We've coined the term "chicks and chicks©". It's catchy, we know.
In the Bordeaux varieties, we are seeing berry weights 20-30% lower than what we consider the "standard" for the individual varieties, in large part due to the drought. The ideal time for controlling berry weights is between bloom and veraison, and the relative lack of rain has let us control soil and thus plant moisture very closely through irrigation. This is in many ways the crux of the precision farming techniques that the vineyard team have been using for a number of years. I should note that the reason we want small berries is that they are generally a great starting point for making high quality red wines.
As with everything viticultural and enological, however, small berries are a double-edged sword. Over-extraction with such low berry weights is a real concern and possibility, so we will be adjusting our fermentation protocols as needed. This is yet another example of how growing grapes and making wine is a series of seemingly unrelated but actually inter-connected decisions and actions.
Our shout-outs this week: (1) to kitchen staff. They came in a few hours early last Saturday and made breakfast for our crews picking Sauvignon Blanc. It was a huge hit, after all, it takes the Whole Bunch to raise a wine. (2) to Nick Filice, our Grower Relations Manager, who this time of year has to play grower psychologist/therapist, brutal truth deliverer and logistics coordinator.
The Twomey Healdsburg winery has continued on a hectic pace in their second week of crush. Russian River Pinot Noir from Last Stop Ranch and Westpin Vineyard has been a steady stream this week and Ferrington Vineyard (Anderson Valley) and Bien Nacido Vineyard (Santa Maria Valley) were picked out by the middle of the week. There is one more block of Sauvignon Blanc in Oakville to pick (likely early next week) and we started harvesting the Sauvignon Blanc at Twomey Healdsburg Thursday. Fermentations are very active, barrels are being filled with Sauvignon Blanc and the crew is not far from pressing the first Pinot tanks.
Our Geyserville Winery will get started next week with Cabernet from the Reynoso Vineyard and/or a partner vineyard in the hills above Geyserville. A couple of Alexander Valley vineyards are approaching ripeness, and others are not far behind. Some parts of the Alexander Valley are a little behind and the Cabernet tsunami will start in 12-18 days according to my crystal ball.
We crushed Cabernet in Oakville from the Milat Vineyard in what I am told is the earliest pick in Silver Oak's history, so Oakville is officially open. It will be a few more days before the next pick of the year as we wait for other vineyards and blocks to ripen.
In honor of the unusual and non-customary, this week's quote comes from the esteemed Hunter S. Thompson (also of Colorado):
"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."

2011 Alexander Valley Cabernet Blending Story
The 2011 vintage was challenging in Alexander Valley, as it was for all Northern California winemakers. As a winemaker, these are the kinds of vintages that push us to think creatively and make wines that truly show the mastery of our craft.
In January 2012, as our Associate Winemaker, Christiane Schleussner and I prepared to present our proposed blend to our President and CEO, David Duncan, we were a little nervous. First of all, there is always a plan, an anticipated case quantity. The plan is based on producing acreage, crop estimates for each vintage and historical performance of vineyards. And we have a clear understanding: the Director of Winemaking has the final say as to what goes in the blend. Nevertheless, we work from a place of mutual respect, admiration and consensus. All that being said, to propose a blend that is about 60% of plan seemed like it might be a hard sell. To illustrate our choices, we also made up a blend that would take us to full capacity.Read more ›
Nate Weis, Winemaker
Although he toyed with the idea of becoming a pilot or firefighter, Nate Weis' decision to pursue winemaking seemed almost inevitable. A Napa Valley native whose father is also a Winemaker, Nate grew up with wine on the table and a drawer full of t-shirts emblazoned with winery logos. His first job after graduating with honors from UC Santa Barbara with a BS in Biopsychology/Neuroscience was as a "cellar rat." Nate remembers, "My dad suggested I make sure I actually liked winemaking before heading down that career path. I loved that first harvest, so I packed my bags, dropped my application for UC Davis grad school in the mail and went off to Hawke's Bay, New Zealand."
Nate spent the 2003 harvest at two New Zealand wineries, and when he returned home he worked one harvest before starting grad school. After earning his MS in Viticulture and Enology, he was hired as a Cellar Master, and then spent two years as an Assistant Winemaker. In 2008, Nate was hired by Marchese Piero Antinori to be Winemaker for Antica Napa Valley, where he made Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Merlot. He also served as Winemaker for Aril Wines in Napa, a small ultra-premium producer of Cabernet and Syrah.
Nate joins us as only the third Winemaker in our 43-year history. He will work together with Daniel Baron, Director of Winemaking, until Daniel retires, a tradition that began when Daniel worked with Justin Meyer in his transition. When asked what he likes about winemaking, Nate couldn't give just one like. "I love the uniform – jeans and boots. I love the physical nature of the work, coming home covered in muck and tired out from working hard. I love the setting and getting to play with heavy equipment; one of my best memories is a harvest spent on a tractor spreading grape pomace in the vineyard and watching the sunset. And I've grown to love plant biology too – figuring out how to get the vine to do what we want it to do. It's like unraveling a mystery. And of course I love the end product. I often see people when they're happiest – at a great meal with a glass of Silver Oak in their hand."
Nate is responsible for managing our Napa Valley and Alexander Valley wine production from grape to bottle and also serving as an ambassador for the brand. He is honored to work with Daniel, whom he admires as an intelligent, articulate and excellent leader with an active mind and wise persona.
"Daniel has been a great steward of Silver Oak, much like Justin Meyer before him. I hope to continue this tradition, while also putting my stamp on the winery," reflects Nate. "At Silver Oak we all think that wine tends to reflect the people and personalities behind it, even in the smallest of ways. I'm excited to find out what part of me the wines of Silver Oak will ultimately reflect while also maintaining the rigorously high quality standards established here over the last 43 years."
Nate earned his Executive MBA in Wine Business from Sonoma State University in 2013. He is married, and with four children, the little free time he has is spent playing rugby, running and reading.

The Oak Cooperage
We have exciting news to share! We have acquired full ownership of Missouri-based A&K Cooperage, becoming the first North American winery to own and operate an American oak cooperage. We had purchased a 50 percent interest in the cooperage in 2000, and saw full ownership as an opportunity to maintain exacting barrel-making standards and secure a consistent supply of aged stave wood. The cooperage will now be called "The Oak Cooperage."
"We are excited to extend our philosophy of innovation and constant improvement at every step of the winemaking process to The Oak Cooperage" said President & CEO David Duncan, who notes this acquisition will allow our winemakers to control quality standards such as the selection, aging and toasting of our American oak barrels. "Having control over our oak barrel needs and production makes complete sense from both an excellence and cost control standpoint."Read more ›

This was really impressive! I'm trying to cut back on carbs in the evenings (makes me feel icky in the a.m. to have lots of carbs at night)--so this fit the bill perfectly. I did add a little grated romano but I used all fat-free cheese on top. Also, I sauteed some sliced mushrooms and added them just before the cheese, and then I broiled it. It was really, really good. Thanks for such a flavorful, HEALTHY!!!! recipe!
These were fantastic! I served them with stuffed shells and our company enjoyed them very much. The initial cooking period for the eggplant needed an extra 5 minutes to get them to a point where they were ready for toppings, but I otherwise followed the recipe. I did use my own tomato sauce and only used reduced-fat cheese but those were the only substitutions I made. Thanks for posting a quick and tasty way to eat eggplant :)
So good! I've only ever had eggplant battered and fried and wanted to try it prepared a bit healthier. Used a medium eggplant, baked it a bit longer (10 min) and just used reduced-fat mozzarella (all I had). Tasty, not mushy and very flavorful. I'll make again and again for a quick, easy weeknight meal. Oh- I also peeled the eggplant as neither DH nor I like the chewy rind. Thanks!

Piezoceramic Ultrasonic Motor Technology

Research Institution:
AbstractUltrasonic motors are novel devices that operate based on the piezoelectric effect. A "smart material" piezoceramic (Lead Zirconium Titanate, PZT) ring is excited by electrical signals and generates a traveling surface wave. The traveling surface wave drives a rotor through a toothed stator. These motors have several distinct advantages: low profile, high torque at low speeds, quick response, insensitivity to magnetic fields, non-sparking, quiet operation, and efficiency. USMs therefore are suited for many aerospace applications. Aerotech proposes to develop USM-based actuator technologies for military and civilian applications. During Phase I, two USM-based mechanisms will be designed for missile applications -- flight control surface (flaps, ailerons, rudders, trim, etc.) actuation and safe/arm devices. PZT toughening methods will also be investigated to enhance the longevity of USMs. During Phase II, the mechanisms will be fabricated and tested, and process design for the volume manufacture of USMs will be conducted. During Phase III, commercialization of this technology will be undertaken. Several military and commercial applications of USMs are identified and discussed. Aerotech has formed a strategic alliance with the DOE/Allied Signal's Kansas City Plant to develop USM technology for military and commercial applications through a systematic Phase I, II, and III effort.

But what I do like about them is they adjust for down and distance, score, etc. But the question becomes, how much do you trust those statistics (for example, how do they come up with their points system beyond what they say on their site, an example would be nice). I hope to purchase their almanac at some point. And then I should be able to better explain their statistics. But the logic behind what they do is sound.
Ah ok, I do see the edge for Peyton statistically (and even using those advanced stats from FO show it pre 2007) but I do think the effect of the WRs, playoffs and cold weather vs. what Manning has puts Brady ahead of Manning. Those are some external factors that can't be ignored.
And from what I've read, Manning doesn't actually call his own plays. He gets a set of 3 plays and he chooses 1 at the line. I don't know where I read that but I'll try to find the link.
lol did you notice how Jaji didn't even bother to respond to my post about Peyton's attempts 21+ yards vs. Brady's?
Hey, I just had a question for you. I'm not interested in bringing it up in that other thread because well, I'm done arguing Brady vs. Manning in the NFL Forum.
But I was curious, do you believe Manning and Brady are equal or do you believe Manning is better? Because I've seen you state both.
u got to give me credit though...i almost convinced you haha
yea you should of, i deserved it lol. Hey at least i was man enough to accept I was wrong lol not alot of people go back and apologize
i made myself look stupid you were right about the salary haha. Maybe next time i should argue when i am sober huh?
Sorry dude when I cussed at you. I was just really pissed at my team.
Yeah, it's small, I'll give you that. But that's why I recruited you over there. Your postwhore skills will help stir up activity, bringing more people in.
Not impressed or not interested? Tell me if you have any problems with that site bro, and I will do everything I can to help fix it.

When you tell people you are pregnant, they are usually excited for you. Especially when you are a 31 year-old married woman. Friends' voices rise several octaves in shrieks of congratulations. You are expected to respond with similar enthusiasm, jump up and down a little bit, and grin unreservedly.
For the first couple months I told people I was pregnant with my first baby, when they shrieked, I had the instinct to cry and tell them to go screw themselves. I would want to scream, no, I don't want this baby. I'm not happy about this. Somehow, I'd fake my way through it, and then go home and mope around the house. Sometimes I would sob uncontrollably. I was mean as a snake to my husband (his exact words). I felt the baby was the end of my life. I had just finished graduate school and in summer of 2008 the world economy was going to hell. I had no job, and was in the middle of a career transition. I blamed my fetus.
One day when I was about five months along I went to prenatal yoga. Lying in the yoga studio, looking up at huge glossy photos of newborns that adorned the walls, I felt a surge of anger towards the babies in the photo. I hate you, I thought. I hate all of you. I said to my mom, I don't want it, I don't want this baby.
I was clinically depressed. I was literally not myself.
My therapist called a summit with my husband and my mom. We discussed antidepressant medication and decided I needed it. We made detailed schedules of my day so I would feel less anxious. I was told not to think of when the baby was born, but only to focus on the here and now. But when you are depressed and pregnant, thinking about attachment is terrifying. Doctors tell you that your chances of post-partum depression are so high that you may not attach to your baby. And because you feel so awful, so unloving, you can't imagine loving your baby like you know you should. And you feel terribly guilty because a mother must love her baby. That's what has to happen.
So what happened to me? The months passed, my pregnancy progressed, and I grew more at ease with the idea of being a mother. Slowly, the depression lifted. I was able to start buying things for the nursery, to attend birth preparation classes, and to think of life after the due date.
The minute my son was born, I fell madly in love. Literally, as I felt his shoulder pop out of me after a natural childbirth and 52-hour labor, I knew it was going to be ok. I felt such joy. I had that euphoric feeling that I was unstoppable and could climb mountains with him attached at my hip. And indeed, since was born, I have not had more than a fleeting moment's depression and trust me, life has not been smooth sailing. But we get along great, him and I. He is the love of my life and I also think it's fair to say in the first year of his life, I have been one of the happiest and most functional new moms I know. Our son is happy and healthy and hilarious. I started a successful new business and somehow manage work and home. As I'm writing this I hate myself for thinking of my beloved son as the "it" I once resented. How could that have been?
I blame hormones and the many mysteries of depression for creating that awful person. I thank my loving husband, my mom, my amazing support system, and Prozac for getting me through.
Now I am pregnant again. When I told my husband he was happy, but nervous. My pregnancy had been traumatic for him. We had a false alarm and my mom admitted she was glad I wasn't pregnant (even though it turned out I was) -- "it was tough, honey, maybe you don't remember."
And you know what -- I don't really remember! I think Mother Nature has blocked out the painful memories, just like you can't remember what labor feels like. Nature is smart. But I know I'm ok, because I know that attachment is the gift Nature gives to new parents. I know that depression is a disease that we can thankfully treat, but that the love between a mother and her baby really can trump everything. The cliché that a mom would jump in front of a bus to save her child: that is really true, and that is attachment.
I wish I could go back and tell me at three months pregnant that it would all be ok. I hope a pregnant woman reading this who is struggling with the incredible alienation of antenatal depression reads this and feels some hope. You can't go it alone, and you need to feel allowed get the help you need. Don't be ashamed.
And at the end of it all, you will get the greatest gift in the world.

I am out of my element right now; spending weekdays in Cumberland for my studies. BIG culture shock. (More so than many exotic locations I've visited.) Learning to be more accepting of people who have very traditional values and lifestyles.
I really like nice things, but I am working toward being content without a lot of possessions.
In desperate need of someone who likes to cook... I want to learn to prepare a wider array of meals.
I spend a lot of time skipping. (Sometimes I gallop, but only when I feel fairly certain that no one's watching.)
I shaved my head 3 years ago. I had dreadlocks in college.
My bedtime reading is usually some sort of textbook.
I am relatively bossy and most likely a huge pain in the ass.
Pretending to fall out of my chair.
Trying to decide where I want to move once I finish my program. (Can I live 5 places at once?)
Enjoying an apartment to myself but listening to a lot of TEdTalks. It's too quiet here.
Learning how to be a good mother to my joint-custody kitten
Making A's in my classes while still maintaining class clown status.
Also I'm a gear nerd and an outfitting extraordinaire.
Things I wish I could be good at:

Movies: Best in Show
Shows: Summer Heights High
Music: See me directly.
Food: oysters
You can teach me something
You don't mind eating the rest of my asparagus (I only like the heads)
You are gentle
You want to learn/try new things with me
You are good at fixing things

I am doing a complete re-install of wordpress (dropped tables, fresh install etc) onto a domain but once I upload all the files to the server and proceed instantly to install via my browser, it tells me there is already a wordpress installation.
Further investigation into the tables shows a user that is clearly a bot has hijacked the install and admin user before I have even had a chance to load the installation screen (literally seconds).
How do I combat this? And why do more people not have this problem, because this seems like an enormous flaw?

Neither is it low, nor do you ride in it. Discuss.
You hear about games being "hilariously bad," but Lowrider is the real deal: after two or three hopping matches, I had to set down the controller, clutch my stomach, and wait until I'd stopped heaving to continue.
Though really, at that point, I'd pretty much seen all the game has to offer. Do not let yourself be duped into believing this is a "rhythm game." I know rhythm action games, Parappa was a friend of mine, and Senator, this is no rhythm action game. At best, it's a minigame -- were it an actual game, you'd have rhythm patterns, musical cues, some catchy songs at the very least.
In Lowrider, though, pretty much all you do is press one button over and over again. One button to win Hopping challenges, one button to make it through each round of a Dance contest, one button to impress groups of spectators. There's a little bit of timing involved, though it's inconsistent and uncued -- there's really nothing hinting at when you should time your next button press. The only thing worse than pushing one button over and over again is pushing lots of buttons over and over again, as when you're asked to push all four face buttons in sync ... over and over again. By the end of a mere three-hour play session, I had blisters.
That part's not very funny. The real hoot is what's happening onscreen as a result of these button presses. See, I'm not a judgemental kinda guy: I don't understand the appeal of drift racing or SmackDown! or live-action role-playing, but if that's your thing, more power to you. The sort of nonsense that goes on in Lowrider, though -- that, I judge to be the silliest hobby I've ever laid eyes on, and if I saw you doing it, I would laugh at you. Me, a man who reviews videogames for a living: laughing right in your face.
The whole sport is so powerfully inane that every inch of "realism" that PCCW brings to the affair just makes me giggle harder, to the point where it's impossible to tell if they're deadly serious or going about this with tongue in cheek. I mean, what do you say when the game suggests you "Add class to your car with a mural on your hood" and then presents dozens of decals featuring sleazy models in leopard-print bikinis? How far down the rabbit hole are we, exactly?
I was entertained by Lowrider, but only in the worst way. There's no depth or variety to its gameplay, and really, there's not even any gameplay. And despite the deer-in-headlights appeal of loading screens like this one, the graphics are really pretty atrocious with their crowds composed of bobbing cardboard cutouts. If Need for Speed Underground had an inbred cousin (possibly by Bust-a-Groove), and that cousin was mutated by exposure to radiation, I'm forced to conclude that Lowrider would be the result.

|Chu Fu
Zhu Fu is a fictional character in Water Margin, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. He ranks 93rd of the 108 Liangshan heroes and 57th of the 72 Earthly Fiends. He is nicknamed "Smiling Tiger".
Zhu Fu is Zhu Gui's younger brother. He runs a tavern and does not join the outlaw band at Liangshan Marsh as early as his brother. He learnt martial arts from Li Yun before.
Saving Li Kui[edit]
When Li Kui goes home to fetch his mother to Liangshan, Song Jiang is worried that Li Kui's fiery temper might bring him into some trouble, so he asks Zhu Gui to watch over Li secretly. As Song Jiang expected, Li Kui runs into some trouble and is captured in a trap set by Squire Cao. Li Yun leads some soldiers to escort Li Kui to the county office.
Zhu Fu discusses with Zhu Gui on how to rescue Li Kui. They agree that they cannot free Li Kui by force because they are no match for Li Yun in a fight, so they have to save Li Kui by trickery. The Zhu brothers prepare food and wine spiked with drugs that will cause any person who consumes them to be temporarily unconscious, and then wait along the road for Li Yun and his men to pass by. When Li Yun and the convoy escorting Li Kui arrives, the Zhu brothers pretend to congratulate them for capturing Li Kui and serve them the drugged food and wine. Li Yun and his men are hungry and thirsty after travelling a long distance so they consume all the food and wine without suspecting anything.
When Li Yun and the soldiers are out cold, the Zhu brothers free Li Kui, who proceeds to kill all his captors except Li Yun. Just when he is about to kill Li Yun, Zhu Fu stops him and tells him that Li Yun is a good man. They then leave. When Li Yun regains consciousness, he catches up with them and fights with Li Kui, but is stopped by Zhu Fu, who manages to convince him to give up serving the corrupt government and join the outlaw band at Liangshan.
Campaigns and death[edit]
Zhu Fu is placed in charge of brewing wine for Liangshan after the Grand Assembly of the 108 Stars of Destiny. He follows the heroes on their campaigns against the Liao invaders and rebel forces after they have been granted amnesty by Emperor Huizong. During the campaign against the rebel leader Fang La, he remains in Hangzhou to take care of his brother, who has fallen sick, and does not participate in the remaining battles against Fang La's forces. He and his brother both die of illness before the Liangshan heroes emerge victorious over Fang La.

British pseudo-punk quartet Arctic Monkeys established a sound with its first album and solidified that sound with a second. Now begins the tricky business of gradual modification. The chunky, line-drive curvature of the Monkeys' first two releases is replaced with a roomy echo chamber. The band is less concerned with racing through verses to get to hooks and more worried about atmospherics and reverb. Besides "Crying Lightening," it's hard to pick out an especially apt radio hit. But a change had to come, and this one's for the better.

Skip to comments.VANITY: Are VA hospitals run by civilians?
Posted on 05/25/2014 6:51:02 PM PDT by SilvieWaldorfMD
Having a convo with a friend, who says that I am wrong when I told her that VA hospitals are run by civilians. Am I wrong? A quick Google search would not answer my query.
Yes, they are run by civilians employed by the Veterans Administration.
Thanks very much!
Hey, Silvie, I swear I haven't seen you around in ages! How's things?
Yes, everything within the Department of Veterans Affairs is civilian. They are sometimes confused with the Army, Air Force sand Navy hospitals, which are mostly military.
Thanks so much, 2DV — I will let her know!
The Director at my VA (Lebanon, PA) is a civilian and IMHO a career politician brown nose.
It was changed to the US Dept. of Veterans Affairs, a cabinet-level agency, during the Reagan administration.
I've been around — I'm now stuck with being the temporary admin. for the Michael Savage Radio Show thread....
Yes. VA hospitals are run by civil service employees of the Veterans Administration, not by military personnel, and not by employees of the Department of Defense. The DoD has its own medical facilities, which ... vary in their quality.
Civil Service.
"Civil" servants. Gov't contract employees, I believe.
(I see you have the answers already0
unionized civilians
They advertise for medical professionals on tv. They push the benefits of being licensed to practice in all states when they work in VA facilities
Are they prone to be more incompetent because they're unionized?
(Need comeback answers to confront my friend...)
Thanks to all for your answers!
My wife, a dialysis RN, just got on with the VA in November. She was offered a union membership, but she declined. Thank goodness we live in a Right to Work state.
She sees not incompetance so much, but plenty of waste, and most of all, wasted time. No where close to the efficiency of a non-government outfit.
M.D.'s start out as GS-9's, no? That's low compared to what an M.D. in the private sector can make.
My sense is that VA attracts lower-skill M.D.'s because of the low pay.
Around 80% of all VA hospital workers are Union workers. The Unions are one of the main barriers against fixing the problem.
I deliver to a VA hospital and have never seen a military uniform there.
The VA is staffed and run by people who are hired with the proper licenses (e.g. MDs and RMs and administrators) . One does not have to be a veteran...and that is a good thing. The folks in DC set stupid regulations and the punish when 'goals' aren't met. No 'civilian' hospital would be run like the VA
Would you say that the Democrats are really running the VA?
You don't have to be a veteran, but it is getting very difficult to get hired on now without being a veteran.
I go to my VA for treatment 1-2 times per month and if you want to see socialized medicine just go there and sit and listen. I think they are down to only one primary doctor because it seems like everyone complaining is for the same reason. Their meds ran out and it takes weeks to get them refilled. I have the same problem myself and it is a pain to get them refilled because the doctor has to put them in but getting to the doctor is tough.
It is the pharmacists of the VA who have the meds tied up due to the fed regulations. I told a nurse I wanted to talk to the pharmacist consultant. She said it was there for the docs not the vets. I have built four clinics. I have had to spend budget $ for the politicians and VA groundbreaking song and dance show. All the VA big wigs have undercover cops that travel with them. Out of all of them the Bonham Tx hospital was the best to me.37 years dealing with the VA. Houston ( DeBakey) went to shit when they brought all the Katrina (New Orleans) employees to work there.. Shamers to the max!
Yes. Civilian VA Employees, contractors and volunteers.
Some personnel are allowed to use work hours as 'union hours' and then charge for overtime for work hours. This is money that could have gone to patient care:
"VA "employees not performing government work could compromise the well-being of our nations veterans," the senators write.
The senators are questioning a federal practice dubbed official time, whereby taxpayers foot the bill for salaries and benefits for federal workers who perform union duties instead of the jobs they were initially hired to do, the senators note.
The VA is now paying for an overtime surge" to cut its huge claims backlog, while VA workers do union work, the senators note, tax dollars that could instead be spent on vets."
also, there's the nursing problem, as in a problem of nurses having necessary rudimentary skills:
forgot to add, and then there are those workers, who can't be bothered to sterilize equipment, resulting in spread of HIV and hepatitis:
Substandard Hygiene Practices At Some VA Hospitals
"At the St. Louis VA medical center, the cleaning of reusable dental equipment was unsatisfactory between February 2009 and March 2010...The Committee said that even after actions by a dentist employed by VA from 1982-2010 came to the public's attention, the VA has shown an apparent lack of leadership and has not fully acted in response."
Of course, there are some great people working for the VA and I am thankful for them. I'm highlighting some of the worst stories to help with your 'argument'.
Is this woman blaming the VA crap on the military?
I do not understand why you say this. I have worked for the VA for 25 years as a pharmacist. If a patient wants to talk to a pharmacist he will talk to a pharmacist. The same can be said for the Doctors and Nurses.
The majority of the care givers do a great job under most difficult circumstances. I would also estimate that about 20% should be fired tomorrow morning.
The VA brings out the best in most care givers. It also brings out the worst in a few. I presonally know many nurses and doctors and pharmacists that have given many hours of work without any compenstion for their off the clock hours. I know one doctor that will actually make house calls for the Vets. They as I do it for the Vets.
Those Vets are the ones that picked up MI Garands, M16s, climbed into tanks, hit beaches, fought in rice paddies, deserts, and jungles, flew B17s, B24s, B29s, Sabers, F4s, F100s, F104 etc. Many of those died in the deserts, paddies, jungles and many of those planes and men did not return to home base or return at all. Even more returned with terrible physical injuries and mental trauma. I serve and love those vets.
The problem with the VA is a vast overbearing inefficent beuracracy that makes it very difficult for us to provide quality care for our warriors.
The problem is not one of money if the budget were spent wisely. The problem is government bureoracy that can not be solved by government.
However the solution is not difficult but politically very difficult.
The VA has great facilities and "mostly" great personel working there. We should turn the VA over to private interprise to run the facilities on a for profit basis. The governments only role should be to make sure these funds are spent properly and most importantly give the vet access to quality care. If a facility is substandard it should be closed and the vets divertered to private facilities. If a private enterprise has true and free authority to fire the few bad employees we would not need to close any VA as it would quickly come up to a high standard.
She kinda was. (Liberal mentality of sorts).
I put her in her place last night, though, with my FR ammo... you'd be proud of me!
Are government employees civilians? TSA? BLM? IRS?
That's not true. Being a vet gives you extra 'points' on the scoring but it is not the main thing. There are not enough nurses and filling the postings is tough because the government process takes so very kong(as much as 6 months before the background checks even begin) that candidates take jobs with real companies rather than wait around for decisions. The same is true for docs.
Ancillary personal it may be true but the licensed personal not
No I would say rather that the VA is like ALL large bureaucracies....it is slow to respond, tends to build layers of faux administrators, wants to dictate from the top down, has no clue as to what effect 'orders from above' have on the workers, and in general is a vast slow drying cement pit
Yes, that is the official policy.
IF you have two people with the same credentials ( and that almost NEVER happens) then the vet gets preference. Just because you are a vet does not make up for lack of credentialing and experience.

New medication laws for pain patients
Hello there "In Pain". I'm in Ohio as well. I was a patient at a very large pain clinic here which is now closed. Suddenly it closed I should say. The DEA has done a "Dragnet " through this area and one of my biggest problems with them is that they don't give a damn about the people in chronic pain. They closed the office of the Dr I'd been seeing for 9 years in one day. With all the power the DEA holds in this country you'd think they could've brought in another Pain specialist or two so no one got ill from the sudden stoppage of medications etc. I just don't get how they're in charge of making decisions for something as important as the Pain Clinic Drs & Opioid Pain Medicine! The majority of the folks I met through the clinic were legitimate chronic pain sufferers. It's so WRONG! Unfortunately the wrong-ness of it goes along with so much of what it means to be an American these days. It's disgusting. (Oct 30, 2014 | post #2)

Doctor's license suspended amid prescription drug allegat...
You say it well. My heart aches for you as I know EXACTLY what you're dealing with. Living in chronic pain is NOT living at all. I too was a patient of a pain management specialist. One day, the office was closed suddenly while DEA & about 4 other government agencies came in and removed box after box after box of patients records!! Did they think to bring in substitute doctors to take care of the near thousand patients depending on this place for everything from physical therapy to narcotic pain medication? Of course not! Because they don't care. We pay them and they don't give a DAMN!! There were people with pain medicine pumps needing their medicine refilled. Not to mention all of us who've been on these meds for near half our lives!! You cannot just stop taking the medication. Doesn't work that way Mr DEA. I'm a compassionate person but I'll admit when I see a comment like the one left by the person stating "it's about time" I think to myself "maybe one day you'll know first hand what it's like trying to live while in chronic pain, I hope so".

Anyone know this Doctor's name?
As far as your mystery doctor, I am clueless as I've not lives here that long though if it were me I'd probably Google something like "Youngstown Ohio deceased Physicians". I can't remember whether you posted the year of the doctor's death & I'm not able to see it from here. But if you know the year, add it to your search. It's a starting point at least. If you know anyone with an old phone book, you could scroll through the physician section and see if a name jumps out at you. How bout googling "Youngstown, Ohio deceased physicians Market St"! Good luck! (Sep 3, 2014 | post #3)
Anyone know this Doctor's name?
If the doctor is deceased and another doctor has taken over the practice, your records would be with the new doctor. If the office is closed and deserted, go to the Ohio Medical Board's website, fill out the form on the "contact " page and they'll help you. (Sep 3, 2014 | post #2)
how long after taking the Vivitrol shot can i feel the ef...
There's acetaminophen in lortab. Too much acetaminophen will at least sicken your liver. At worst it will cause your liver to fail! And too much acetaminophen ain't a lot!! I mean, if I remember correctly, anything more than four(4) lortabs in 24 hours would be over the recommended dosage. Ten would be suicidal. Next time you're needing prescription narcotics for pain, let the nurse or doctor know you're "allergic " to acetaminophen in that you've gotten violently stomach sick taking it in the past. They'll give you something else. Either that or Google "how to extract the narcotic from lortab, vicoden etc". It's rather easy I've heard. (Sep 1, 2014 | post #51)
