Happy Veterans' Day. It makes me SICK. Here's how AMERICA celebrates our vets: Here's a discount on CRAPPY JUNK FOOD. Here's a SALE so you can buy crap you can't afford. Here's a parade so all the important people in town can make themselves look good. HOW ABOUT GETTING OUR VETERANS WHAT THEY NEED? HOW about if the US government & the US military starts showing our veterans some REAL RESPECT & some REAL THANKS for their service?
A year ago ( Nov 14, 2013) CNN reported: 'Every day, 22 veterans take their own lives. That's a suicide every 65 minutes. As shocking as the number is, it may actually be higher… Experts have no doubt that people are being missed in the national counting of veteran suicides… & the Department of Veterans Affairs only reported data from 21 states–with 2 of the largest states California & Texas–among the states whose statistical data was missing from this 'study' which looked ONLY at 77% of the recorded suicides in 40% of the U.S. population.'
From what I hear from people working with veterans–it's more like 55 attempts a DAY–& there's that '77% of only 40% of the population…' How many US veterans are REALLY so broken they're trying to kill themselves each & every day?
And why do you think they're turning to SUICIDE as the answer?
A survey by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America showed that 30% of service members have considered taking their own life. 45% said they know an Iraq or Afghanistan veteran who has attempted suicide. "There's probably a tidal wave of suicides coming," says Brian Kinsella, an Iraq war veteran who started Stop Soldier Suicide, a nonprofit group that works to raise awareness of suicide.
Post-traumatic stress & traumatic brain injuries are the 'signature injuries' of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Yes–I take it personally–because I KNOW the HELL of BRAIN INJURIES. I also know YOU CAN BEAT BRAIN INJURIES–but not the way that most VA's are treating them!
We CAN do better for our vets. We CAN do better for all the many people suffering the cognitive, behavioral, emotional, & physical problems & the neurological damages caused by war & the toxic world we live in. But those who are profiting off the suffering of others will not give up their profits easily. There ARE cost-effective ways that do work. But they just don't fit the profit-hungry Pharmaceutical Model of Medicine that our system sanctions & our tax dollars buy.
I'm a PEACENIK & PROUD of it! I've worked & marched for PEACE. As a kid I worked & marched alongside of Viet Nam Veterans Against the War. I hear stories about how hippies & other Peaceniks dissed our Viet Nam Vets. They got MORE dissed & are still getting dissed–those who are still alive–since so many DIED from Agent Orange Cancer, other war-related illnesses, & lack of appropriate care & support–by the very government they fought for & the Veterans Administration–both more concerned about photo op's & "how things LOOK" than getting our vets what they need! As a grown woman & a brain injury surviver myself–even when I was blind & still pretty sick & struggling myself–I was doing all I could–using talking computers & sharing the treatments that were WORKING for me.
Brain-injured vets have contacted me for years–seeking a different way than the "bagful of drugs"—err—"medications"-they tell me is the "treatment" they get from the VA. No counseling from people who really understand. No real rehabilitation. They tell me the wards are crowded & noisy. No wonder some "choose" to live in the streets. No wonder some, in desperation, take their own lives. As a brain-injured person who had a lot of training & expertise in Alternative & Body-Mind Medicine, with more than 2 decades in the field of Peak Performance when I became so brain-injured THEY said I'd never get better again–I knew I needed quiet & low environmental input–especially when my brain was trying to HEAL ITSELF–which the human body is made to do. That is–when it's not "medicated" into complacency & it's processes are interrupted by "Science."
WHY isn't the VA & the US govt doing more for our veterans? Brain injuries became the "signature wounds" of the Iraq & Afghanistan wars just a year or two in. Yet it took a retired Navy physician, a rock singer, & the private sector—soldiers' families & people like me—publicizing & donating money to provide our service people with helmets more like those used by football players—for YEARS before the military woke up about helmets that could better protect against IED's & Operation Helmet is STILL providing these better helmets! In my old e-zine–I was only one of many private citizens who helped advocate getting SOLDIERS at WAR better protection than the MILITARY & the US GOVERNMENT thought necessary.
I'm just one woman & a brain-injury survivor myself, still battling an inefficient & corrupt system & dealing with almost more than I can handle. I'm handing it because I have to. I'm disgusted with the lies & subterfuge of people in the VA, in the Social Security Administration, in the hallowed halls of the US governments–federal & local–who give lip-service & wear flags & say "Thank you for your service" while continuing to draw their own salaries & benefits for denying those they are supposed to be serving their benefits.
I KNOW people care. Please… CARE ENOUGH to rise up & demand REAL, EFFECTIVE treatments become available, accessible, PAID for & provided by our Health-Care systems. We'll save money–& we'll save LIVES. DON'T just SAY 'thank you for your service' but help support & fight for veterans having a hard time!
The military chews up our soldiers & throws them away. You want an example? Spc. Brent Grommet, an Afghanistan veteran, went through proper procedure to ADOPT his military working dog– as both Army regulations & Federal law allow. He & his dog went through basic training together, they got deployed together & they were injured together by a roadside IED. They came home on the same transport together. This 23 year old now deals with traumatic brain injury, hearing loss, spinal-cord injury, daily pain, migraines, chronic breathing problems & PTSD & he did everything right to get his dog released to be adopted by HIM! Instead of being returned to him–his dog was kidnapped by a military man of higher rank–who's apparently now in the Pentagon–so I guess he thinks he's 'untouchable.' Read the story Soldier's hero dog 'stolen' by military Nov 9 NYPOST
Sickening. Not only did this wounded warrior did NOT get a 'thanks"– he was threated by officers to NOT speak to media about the fight to get his dog & fighting buddy back–or he'd 'be sent to prison at Leavenworth… not a threat… (they said) it's [military] law." YOU CAN HELP this VET get his DOG BACK! This is a NEW petition with MANY SIGNATURES NEEDED BY DEC 09, 2014 TO REACH GOAL OF 100,000! When I signed it today there were only 173 signatures. PLEASE SIGN IT & SHARE IT!
You can also make TAX-DEDUCTIBLE contributions to groups like The Wounded Warrior Project who spend over ½ (57.9%) what they take in for on programs & services they deliver to VETS, & with just over ⅓ (36.3%) going to their fundraising efforts. Charity Navigator rates their Transparency pretty high: a score of 96 (out of 100.) At least that part of your tax dollars won't be wasted.
Yes–the concept of Veterans Day makes me sick because of the hypocrisy of marketers & politicians who ignore the real needs of our veterans & use this one day as an advertising extravaganza when we have now lost more of our veterans to suicide than we have on the front. Yet more money gets put into these interminable 'studies' that could go to actually providing meaningful & PROVEN TREATMENTS that could help people HEAL & the considerable advertising dollars by businesses could instead be channelled into projects like The Wounded Warrior Project to REALLY say "Thank you for your service."
What's it going to take to get Americans to say "ENOUGH?"

Thanks for your comments–I DO appreciate your comments… on this blog post & my previous ones. I love passion but thanks for keeping it clean. This site is really a work-in-progress & as I, the woman who's supposed to be "permanently blind, permanently brain-damaged, & permanently disabled"–good for nothing but a residency in a board & care on tax-dollar provided DRUGS–err–"medications" am developing it my SELF–it's taking me a bit of time to master all the media… I just added an "About" & a Privacy page–with photos & video–CHECK THEM OUT!

Miracle in a bottle! I have tried so many nail fortifiers, from Millionailes by Essie to everything imaginable by Sally Hansen, and nothing has worked as well as Nail Envy. When used consistently, my nails grow nice and long, strong and thicker than usual. They will still peel and break if I get them too wet and use chemicals too often, but if I protect them with a couple coats of Nail Envy and gloves when washing dishes and such, I'm good to go. I love this stuff!

I purchased this on Amazon with free shipping via Prime. I believe that the total cost came out to $8-something. I have been using this product for a little over one week. I can already see amazing results, as my nails were very thin and brittle.
I bought a wooden stick from Sally's Beauty supply to push the cuticles back. I then filed and cut the nails to the desired shape, buffed it out. Thereafter, apply 2 coats of Opi Nail Envy. The product dries extremely fast, so that the first hand dries by the time you finish the other. Wait about a minute after applying the second coat. Then, put some argan oil, olive oil, or cuticle oil on. Every other day, apply another coat of Opi Nail Envy until you get to the end of the week. At the end of the week, remove everything off your nails with nail remover. Apply two coats of Opi Nail Envy again...and process repeats.
.You will notice the strength of your nails improve immediately. Then, the length will be able to grow rapidly. Best nail growth product I have ever tried, cheaper than alternatives.
ps I tried painting my nails. This product can be used as base coat, but problem lies in removing polish for another treatment coat every day. Plus, you want the treatment coats to build up. Just let it go, and have gone 2 weeks without nail polish.

This is the only treatment I have ever used that allows me to grow my nails to a respectable length. My nails are really thin and peel or break all of the time. It is really difficult for me to get all 10 nails to be at a similar length at the same time. Once I began using Nail Envy I found that I could achieve that goal and then keep the nails at that length without having several break or the tips begin peeling, weakening the nail even further until It would finally break. So I use this as a top coat and then use Seche Vite over it to dry the polish. I have purchased countless bottles of Nail Envy and will continue to do so. I hope OPI never discontinues it.

Before this polish, I had a horrible time with chipping/breaking my nails and dealing with nicks in the nail tips at least 3-5 times a week. After seeing some blogs mention it, I purchased a bottle and use it ALL THE TIME. Probably the best purchase beauty-wise I have made in a long time.
Nail breaking or chipping is really uncommon now, and nicking is down to once a week, if that, and the nicks are minor and easy to file away without huge issues (I'm one of those crazies that can't have mismatched nail sizes on each hand.)
I use it as both a base coat and a top coat usually, and make sure to put some polish under the tips of my nails to help it stay put when I use it.
The only thing I disliked, was the other day when I took off the polish I was using, I noticed some lifting on the tip of my nail, and couldn't figure out whether I was peeling off a thin layer of nail, or if it was layers of Nail Envy build up.
All in all, I would, and have, recommended it highly, and will purchase again.

This did not work for me at all. It made my already dry and brittle nails peeling even more and it turned them yellow/brown which looked disgusting. I used it for a month before I stopped. My nails slowly recovered. There are still brittle but at least they look white again. Would not recommend this at all! But it seems to work for other people...

not sure where to buy this in my local area, but I ordred it from Amazon based on the rave reviews here on MUA. the reviews did not let me down. This is an awesome nail treatment. It helps to strengthen my nails, which is needed since I stopped wearing acrylic nails. I love how shiny and healthy this treatment makes my nails look. It's a little pricey but worth it. I wish I could find this at the local pharmacies and grocery stores, but so far I have only found it on Amazon.

I just started using this a few days ago, after seeing it on someones nail care routine. So far, this is what I've discovered-
I LOVE that it stays shiny like a plain clear nail polish. I can use it as a base coat, or I can use it alone to give a nice, clean look while protecting my nails.
As far as its promises to create strong nails, I think it does a pretty good job, atleast better than anything I've tried. I'm trying to grow my nails out, and since they are still very short it is hard to tell, but it SEEMS as though they are less "bendy" and less likely to peel. It also dries very quickly, which is a plus.

this is a fantastic nail treatment and you pay for it!!! it is very expensive in the UK it costs £18!! if your nails are in very bad condition i suggest you soak your finger tips in warm soapy water for around 5 minutes... gently push your cuticles back using a wooden yellow stick, file them down very short in the shape you desire ( filing as much as the damaged nail as possible, but never filing so low that the skin under your nails is visible), give them a nice buff. make sure your nails are clean and dry and then apply two coats of the nail envy. Each day after that apply a single coat on top everyday for around five days and then remove. i also recommend using a little bit of oil daily (olive oil or almond oil) to massage into your cuticles. I always use nail envy as a base to my nail polish even when my nails are in great conditon. there is no doubt it is the best nail treatment i have come across!

this does nothing for my nails. i started using it as a base coat after my nails started flaking, but it does not make a difference (maybe it keeps it from getting worse?). i don't notice a yellow tint, though it is yellow in the bottle.

I love this nail treatment! It's absolutely amazing. I have hypothyroidism, a common disease notorious for causing weak & brittle nails. My nails grow fast, fortunately, but I was having a lot of problems with chipping, flaking, and breaking away, so i decided to give this a try. I am so thankful for this product! it has allowed me to grow my nails to a healthy length without having to worry about them flaking or chipping or becoming weak. I work in a library so not only am I typing all day, i'm moving books around, toting boxes places, and doing a lot of stuff that would have put my old nails in danger of breaking, and that's how i know this product is truly worth the hype. I would be so lost without this. It has turned the health of my nails around 100%. I apply this once every week or two weeks and it prevents breakage completely. I even got my boyfriend hooked on this! He now uses it every once in a while. I just finished up my first bottle and placed an order for my second one. I usually buy it on ebay anywhere from $7-$9, or pick it up at ulta with a coupon. definitely don't pass this one up if you have weak nails!! So worth it!

- We made reservations hereOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/19/2010We made reservations here at the recommendation of a friend who took their kids there. We were disappointed with several things...1. The food was marginal at best. The ribs I had in the chicken/rib combo were terrible. Very small portion and they were very dry. The chicken was good and a nice size serving. My kids meals were also...disappointing as well.2. The service was slow even though the restuarant at the time was only about 30-40% full.3. We were expecting a lot more "banter" and fun with the waiter. The table next to us appeared to be having a lot more fun than we were.4. The appetizer (crab cakes) was very small..we were told it was something we could all "share" hardly!..more like a small snack for one person.Special Features:

I had been to one before and had planned this reservation actually for drinks, appetizers, and entertainment. Our waiter was not very attentive, seemed to not put much energy into the service, etc. His significant other (I am assuming from the public display of affection witnessed) stopped by and he seemed to be more into this person than his customers. We left dissatisfied.Special Features:
- I wouldn't recommend thisOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/16/2010I wouldn't recommend this place if you are bringing kids or if you are hungry. The portion size of the meals are incredibly small. My group had a great time but we had to stop at McDonald's afterward.Special Features:

My 13 yr old had a great time, as he was the only one being insulted. I was good with that thank you. They have a small menu, but very good food. Although I do have 1 complaint. The 1/2 lb king crab add on for $8.99 isn't worth it. The king crab was the same size as small snow crab. We didn't even eat it, because of all the cartilage and work. Larger groups came in, felt like we were left out towards the end of our stay. Now I can say I've been there. Will I go back? Eh maybe...Special Features:

- I visited the Dicks Last ResortOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/21/2010I visited the Dicks Last Resort in Chicago. I had not been to one in about 6 years, and was looking forward to the role playing by the staff. Overall my experience was disappointing. I knew Dicks was not a 5 star restaurant by any means, but was surprised to see the layout so typical, as any other restaurant down the street. The staff also failed to meet my expectations; not only were they 'not rude-kinda funny' they broke character several times. Overall, I was not impressed with the experience. If you are looking to just have dinner or lunch, then I wouldn't count it out; just don't go there thinking your going to leave with a sore stomach from laughing so hard.Special Features:
- We took our 12 year old sonOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2010We took our 12 year old son and 9 year old daughter and felt the jokes and atmosphere to be a bit mature for them... It was a slow night (Monday), so the atmoshpere wasn't all that fun, although I'm sure it would be on a busy night with an adult group of friends. The food was just average, and probably would have been rated better had the prices not been so steep. Overall, an okay experience.. not horrible, just not right for our group on that evening.Special Features:
- Food was just ok, but theNJJIMVIPDined on 8/11/2010Food was just ok, but the wait staff was very entertaining. Great view from patio of the Chicago River. Alot of large groups celebrating.Special Features:
- Food was disappointing; awfulOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/7/2010Food was disappointing; awful mojito (I swear there was no alcohol in there and I had two), and was told once seated outside that the outside area does not get the ribbing and playfulness, insults, etc. from the wait staff that happens inside. Well, that's what I went there for. And then to get less than tasteful food was a big disappointment.Special Features:
- The thing here is that theyOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/30/2010The thing here is that they actually act like dicks. Their job is to be rude in a funny manner. The service doesn't suffer though. Just go in expecting a different experience. The food was yummy. They serve steak & seafood. Wish the servings were a little bigger. If I hadn't ordered a side salad, I would have left hungry.Special Features:
- I was EXTREMELY disappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/24/2010I was EXTREMELY disappointed with our waitress's lack of enthusiasm. We had a group of 20 in from STL and she did not do anything fun with our group. She was good as far as getting our drinks and orders correct but we received no bibs, and not one person in our group got a hat or anything. That is the whole point in coming to this restaurant. A few of us had been there the year prior and had such a great time laughing at the comments on the hats on our group and the group around us. She did nothing. She also told us that she could not split our bills and we asked her first thing. We made a complaint to management but nothing was taken seriously in my opinion. It was a huge let down.Special Features:

The waiters were a lot of fun and the food was very good, although some portions were a little small. There were two 15 year olds in our group and they really enjoyed the restaurant.Special Features:
- I had know idea what my familyOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/4/2010I had know idea what my family was in store for. But within a few minutes we had the scene figured out and we laughed so hard during dinner our stomachs ached. Neat vibe. We will be back. Be prepared it's not a place to go for a quiet meal.Special Features:
- Nice view of the river fromOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/2/2010Nice view of the river from the outdoor patio- but be careful, the tables in the sun get hot! Food was decent bar fare- though the crab ball appetizer was a little too spicy, the buffalo chicken sandwich was quite good. Nothing special as for the food but prices are reasonable, service was quick, and we were able to sit by the river. Definitely worth a shot.Special Features:
- Our server kept getting ourOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/26/2010Our server kept getting our checks wrong. We also did not have the same rediculous experience as other people did. Maybe they should make sure their staff is all preforming at the same level. We got bored quickly and watched everyone else have fun.Special Features:
- We came in after the HawksJomamaVIPDined on 6/11/2010We came in after the Hawks rally and found that many fellow fans had the same idea. There was also a benefit going on. We waited a really long time for a table even though I made reservations. Turned out the host was not keeping track very well. The server turned out to be really nice, but the wait for the food was extremely long for a couple of sandwiches and some fried shrimp. Food was good and we would definitely return for the fun, casual time we had there.Special Features:
- Was a lot of fun! although,OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/10/2010Was a lot of fun! although, the menu was hard to read/ understand, fun environment but slow service, food was over priced. Hats were a blast but were given at the end and felt rushed and hard to handle at some points. great entertainment!Special Features:
- I loved the out-door dining.OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/4/2010I loved the out-door dining. The view of the river was amazing. However, consider what you're eating outside as it might get cold fast. The service was great. I loved the entire experience. The fries are to die for.Special Features:
- It was ok. Not what I expectedOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/29/2010It was ok. Not what I expected though. I was expecting something more from the servers.Special Features:
- It was the second best thingOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/28/2010It was the second best thing we did during our stay in Chicago.Special Features:
- I liked the old location better.OpenTable Diner Since 2000Dined on 5/26/2010I liked the old location better. I also liked the overall fun, crazy,and playful atmosphere of the old location.This experience was not any of the above.Two waiters, a girl and a guy. She, did not know how to deal with a large rowdy crowd, I would think this would be a prerequisite for working here. He, was downright rude to us, this is not playful. We were encouraged to take balled up napkins and throw them at each other, and the natural tendency is to try to make "baskets" into each other's beer glasses, but if the ball gets wet we aren't allowed to throw it, come on be realistic, and if a ball should accidentally hit a wandering waiter, you are breaking the rules and screamed at! Rules??? This place is loaded with contradiction.
- Very fun atmosphere, and sittingGayleWhaleVIPDined on 5/23/2010Very fun atmosphere, and sitting along the Chicago River was fabulous!Special Features:
- After hearing my teen daughterOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/15/2010After hearing my teen daughter rave about her experience at Dave's in San Antonio, my husband and I thought it would be cool to venture up to the closest one to us for dinner at the one in Chicago. We went on May 15, 2010. While we expected "rudeness", it was the lack of interaction that disappointed us. When it occurred, we enjoyed it, but we felt we were at a table in the corner and not apart of the environment like we had hoped to be. Overall, it was neat to see, but we would have like to see a little more of our server. She was good when she was around.Special Features:
- We were a large group andOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/14/2010We were a large group and needed to finish in time to attend a dance performance. The staff got us finished ahead of time. We all had a good time.Special Features:
- This is a fun, funky kindOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 5/6/2010This is a fun, funky kind of place with great ribs and a friendly bar staff.Special Features:

- We enjoyed the Easter Brunch.OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 4/4/2010We enjoyed the Easter Brunch. We thought they were going to have ham that someone was carving. The dessert table need some help. They could of had more cakes on it.Special Features:
- The place is fun. The noiseOpenTable Diner Since 2002VIPDined on 4/3/2010The place is fun. The noise is great. Bar is fun. Good for kids and families. Casual fare and atmosphere. We have fun having drinks hereSpecial Features:
- The experience was fine, butOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 4/3/2010The experience was fine, but not what was expected. Since there were only a few people in the dining area, I do not feel we picked the right time for the true feeling of this restaurant. Not anyone's fault, just not the atmosphere that they are noted for!

text: This natural deseccated thyroid drug (porcine-pig) is the same as Armour, only the binders are more hypoallergenic. It is easy to use. However, as this condition often takes years to develop, you must expect it may take a long period of time to feel like your old self again. I found increased relief by splitting dosing to 3 times daily sublingually. Also, very often the adrenals are exhausted as well and you MUST support the adrenals so they can rest or treatment may not work very well. Balance is KEY with hormones. I also take adrenal support with Isocort, licorice, ashwangha as stressed-out adrenals and family history caused my thyroid to go haywire. The best adrenal test is a saliva test taken 4 times during a 24-hr. period and best for thyroid is TSH, Free 4, Free3, and thyroid antibodies. I did experience some palpitations while moving to my optimal dose as it is tricky supporting the adrenals, then upping the Nature-throid. I now take 2 grains daily.

Central team's visit awaited
The State government has identified a five-acre patch of land at Andharua for setting up of Regional Institute for Paramedical Sciences (RIPS), Bhubaneswar. The Union government has proposed to establish the RIPS in Bhubaneswar which would help paramedics in government hospitals in eastern States such as West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh upgrade their skills.
"As per the plan, the Centre will provide Rs. 70 crore for the institute where training for all paramedical services except nursing will be imparted. It is not as yet known whether the institute will take in-service personnel as intern or run programmes for freshers," says P.K. Das, Director of Medical Education and Training.
Dr. Das says, "a five-acre of land adjacent to the proposed medical college by the Employees' State Insurance Corporation has already been identified. The General Administration Department has been intimated on land identification."
Meanwhile, the State government has requested the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to arrange the visit of technical committee to the State for establishment of the RIPS. Sources in State Health and Family Welfare department say once the Central team gives its report after visiting the place, the process of handover of the land will begin.
The RIPS will impart training to laboratory technicians, radiographer, and pharmacists. Although three private medical colleges have already started functioning during the past few years, there is a need for an institute for paramedics.
Health city status
Health planners say establishment of RIPS assumes significance as Bhubaneswar has fast been acquiring status of health city. At present three private medical colleges are functioning in the capital city.
