- Supporting Our Veterans: Military veterans are dying needlessly because of long waits and delayed medical care at U.S. v
Military veterans are dying needlessly because of long waits and delayed medical care at U.S. veterans hospitals, a CNN investigation has found. http://cnn.it/188jR7G(Type: link | Published: 2013-11-20T17:35:54+0000)
[kcorhcs nomad] - Hurry up and wait! Fix this now please and thank you!
[snikwah yort] - Unfortunately what budget cuts look like. Americans love the idea of cutting the budget but don't actually like the concequences
[namwen edualc] - Thats the plan; the more vets that die waiting frees up money to be moved to the social programs.......
[tnilf-zerep emyaj] - My dad wasn't feeling well and went to the VA to see what was going on... They told him he was fine and scheduled a test for 6 months later. Thankfully my dad had insurance outside of the VA and had that same test performed 2 weeks later. Diagnosis? Pancreatic cancer and a sentence of 6-9 months to live. As a vet myself, and still having no idea what the source of my service-connect is 11 years later, this is the norm. It is beyond frustrating. And no matter how hard we fight, my sisters and brothers suffer...
[llimmup iatolap yhtorod] - Don't blame the hospitals. Blame budget cuts.
[ttellam tak] - For the record.... as a VA nurse. We the working staff at the front DO care and do what we can. Im still in the service as a guardsman, my husband served 30+ years and my grandfather served during Korea and my husbands family served during WW2. Please do NOT lump the entire VA into our poorly run administration. Many, many of us DO care and are equally frustrated with a broken system. I wish there was more I could do to get the much needed help to our nations veterans they deserve so much more than what the VA is able to offer them currently. .....
[kcep trub] - Why can't our congressman see that this is happening to our vets? Why not open a congressional investigation on the VA to find out the truth on how we as vets are being treated!!!!
[drahcirp ipes] - Government cutbacks are killing them, while we lavishly send money to Countries that want us dead !
[rekab ysteb] - I had my husband at the VA at Mather yesterday and we witnessed some exceptional care on a patient. The nurse saved this mans life!! We are very grateful for the excellent care he receives there!!
[snikda kcuhc] - And now the CBO is proposing to end concurrent receipt of retirement pay and [VA] disability payments for the military. Is enacted, this will do irreparable financial harm to millions of Veterans. Why is this not being proposed for FED GOVT employees as well. Congress as a whole needs to step up and prevent this from happening.
[ttenrab adnyl] - Too many in need and not enough staff or rooms to accomadate.they serve but we cant serve them.WRONG!
[llekaj yellehs] - And I'm sure the illegal aliens get medical attention fast. That is such a shame. The government needs to take care of our military better than this!
[ronnoc'o yrrah] - it has been going on for years and oblinko wants to kill the military so the V.A. and benefits go first and he hopes it will wither and dia but he is wrong we will survive and defeat we are RIGHT and we are STRONG because weare AMERICAN VETERANS
[hcrub trebor] - Crack heads on welfare and illegal aliens are a higher priority with this Government!
[eromrevil ssur] - The VA has been killing people for sometime now.The care the Vets are getting is not up to standards,this must change.
[mhed eus] - VA is of no use to my medically retired hubby- they don't treat what he has and won't get him the meds he needs- won't take him there- Right out of the box, they wanted to take him off a med protocol that took three years of tinkering, by two mil docs who actually know about his service connected disease, to get right. to 'see what will happen' and o- after yanking meds the plan was to put him on prozac. he has no need of prozac, in fact, that class of drug is contraindicated for his condition-and the pa knew it- when i questioned her about it the statement was ' i know, but we need to see what will happen. we don't carry the medications he is on anyway."
[nosnhoj ennaid] - I love my VA they give me the best treatment, if fact it was ranked 17 in the best VA hospitals inthe USA for treatment of its veterans.
[yelsmeh mot] - the VA is always given me great care. They are doing the best they can.
[nosnud nospig ydnac] - Not just delays, but delays due to unnecessary testing. I was accused of using drugs and tested for it, left untreated while stuck waiting. I've NEVER used drugs, I have a muscle disease!!! Our local VA could've killed me just because they wouldn't listen.
[enrobso lorac] - VA is good at holding people money and giving out excuses..sad, sad, sad!
[ssab arual] - It's bs thank u Obama
[llennid mairym] - This needs a lot of exposure to awaken America!
[xuaenyag llessur] - It will never be fix I,ve have been with VA a long time and it is getting worse not better ,Im 65 was wounded at 20 that is a long time to put up with crap but I have to period !!!
[adaps einnoc] - Please take care of our veterans!
[retsuc nna yelrihs] - they don't want you around anymore if you are old. "They" don't realize that it will be "them" someday!!
[thcerbmah anitram] - OH my GOd, i can'T really find the right words,but it makes me very sad! Everywhere in the world the same thing, cuts at the wrong end! :#(
[eissas eus] - that makes me sick..
[nierg ydurt] - This is (SOP) standard operating procedure for the VA. They have these signs all over everywhere stating how important veterans are to them. Loosely interpreted that means without veterans they wouldn't have a job. That doesn't mean they're actually going to take care of veterans. They're government employees. Their job is saving the government money. A dead veteran is one less person the government needs to take care of. I know this sounds cynical, but I've seen this repeated over and over again from the time I was a small child in the early 50's watching them ignore my Dad's brain damage and PTSD; to watching them "care" for my husband who is a combat veteran with a disability. Now my son, who is a combat veteran, is experiencing the joys that only the VA can provide.
[kramned divad] - Name one government system that isn't crooked .... If u can.
[trah semaj] - Cheaper on the Insurance companies if they die, than to treat them. Just like PTSD, costly and time consuming, suicide, they pay nothing. It's all about making money. When the general public stops thinking this is Rep VS. Dem. and wakes up... before most of us are sick / homeless / dying / broke / in jail.
[sgnidir dde] - Ever have to wait in a VA Emergency room for 6 hours with a broken shoulder? Time passes very slowly. Then you are told the reason it's taking so long is that "the people upstairs" have determined that the ER only needs one Doctor after 9 P.M. Yup!
[namier de] - SOME are; most are not. Same for civilian hospitals.
[llerttik yelrihs] - Our Veterans deserve the best of everything. You like America's Freedom!! Thank a Veteran, past and present
[ybwen ardnas] - this is a total disgrace for all our veternas
[xuaemoc kcaj] - I cant speak about other VA Hospitals but the Temple Texas VA center is a good one I have no complaints about my service and treatment there.
[ssab yrag] - The current VA business model is unsustainable. The customer base that the VA serves is shrinking. the largest group of veterans were from WWII and they are dying at the rate of over 800 a day. Korean War veterans are in their 80s, Vietnam Era Veterans are in the late 50s, 60 and 70s. Middle East war veterans are the smallest group to serve due to the vast number of civilian contractors. The practical solution is to allow veterans to integrate into civilian hospitals on a fee for service basis. This is substantially less expensive. I go to a board certified internal medicine physician and it costs $75.00 per visit. I do to a dermatologist and it costs the VA $75.00 per visit. Those two civilian doctors do excellent work and out of that money they pay for their staff, building, utilities, supplies, etc. Fee for Service and NOT new construction or leases. Run the VA like medicare. Medicare has kept my mother healthy; she is 91. You customer base is shrinking. Be smarter with taxpayer money. We are watching for fraud, waste and abuse. Stop building and leasing buildings. The VA can't manage their business now and they want to make the problem bigger by building and leasing more and bigger? Fee for service is the way to go. Pay private doctors and hospitals the same rate as medicare and medicaid (they are the same rates).
[neyugn ecnerret teyuht] - Fix the USA, Congress, not your party D/R....
[alathuh etep w] - Remember, POTUS Barack Oblivious said that our soldiers should be paying their own medical expenses, because they volunteered.
[sretlaw eigroeg] - Experience this.. It took my husband "Literally" ( 1/) year to get in to see a MD here in Asheville North Carolina..
They gave him one run around after another.
The VA Hospital in Johnson City Tennessee... is way faster and a whole lot better...
[dnalwon divad] - maybe their plan,i say let the vets live they are us
[regnisier .m elrem] - So much for taking care of our American Hero, someone, hmmmm, needs to be strung up!
[repooc de] - Or they deny you altogether...like me.
[regah eleda eibbor] - The VA can farm them out to civilian hospitals after all they are the federal 'that's not my job" government!
[nawoc yllop] - Dear CNN, this is not news..........it's been going on for years. I still won't watch this network
[nitram e hpesoj] - Fought for 20 years to get my disability fairly rated.
[drahpehs nagol] - I waited 1.5 hours after checking in to see my Dr.....it didn't happen so, I just walked out. Two Dr.s left out of Bend, OR they are swamped. My next appointment is in one month and........I am out of my PTSD meds. NO other way to get them.
[nnam-sidworc ssirk] - I waited 3 years for orthotics. In the mean time my feet got so bad I can barely walk.
[yerhpmuh ttessil anilatac] - No surprise here
[narod narf] - How about that one. ...
[srewob yrrep] - U think obuma cares? U DEAD wrong!!Supporting Our Veterans: Military veterans are dying needlessly because of long waits and delayed medical care at U.S. v - 50th Comments
[zerepsoir siul] - The way I see it: The US has been producing veterans who are sent to fight worthless wars for the ungrateful. Once the boys get the Vet title the US government must support them, probably for the rest of their lives. Going back to the hospital delays issue- it makes no sense to duplicate or triplicate the Vets roster while using the same medical resources of 20 years ago. This is exactly what they are trying to do. Crazy.
[enrobso lorac] - all the VA does is give excuses and keeps telling you 3-6 month then 6-9 months then they say we really don't know..shame on them1
[stluhs idoj] - As I "get a little age on me" I have come to the realization that the gov't really has no use for any of us that may start to cost them. And my husband refused a military funeral; he felt the gov't never really appreciated the men/women that served, and he didn't want anyone to pretend that they did for his funeral.
[samoht ycart] - Is that fair ? No. Did they fight for our freedom? Hell yes
Why screw with them now when they need medical care ? No good reason
[yesac ecila] - Our veterans deserve the utmost care they gave us their all where would you be today without their service probably speaking another language or labeled as a third world
[msihc-redart arabrab] - Do you wait no why should the veterans after all they gave their all for you
[llennid mairym] - There are reasonable budget cuts & this one is not one of them. In addition, this may not even has anything to do with budget cuts, it is just an unfortunate outcome of a gov't. beaurocracy & incompetence.
[nillum ystap] - Our veterans deserve better!!!
[ruohnedir nivek] - Took em long enough to figure that out.
[sitruc nad] - Disturbing to say the least. Veterans deserve better
[reteurp leahcim] - 500,000 veterans are waiting for heath services!!!
[yksuonageib noiram] - this is a shame in america when we are giving money to the countries that they fought against
[noskcid sicnarf] - The VA needs to SHUT DOWN ALL THEIR HOSPITAL'S AND TURN THEM IN TO HOMES FOR THE HOMELESS VETERANS IN AMERICA. AND OUT SOURSE ALL VETERANS TO REGULAR HOSPITAL CARE. Their insurance cards could be their va id card !!! This is too hard for them to understand.
[nekcnas yelrihs] - This should never happen! No one deserves better medical care than those who have given everything to protect our country and our freedoms!
[sinneh dlorah] - unacceptable fix it now not later
[snori eel] - Yes, and it's only going to get worse.
[kralc kram] - This isn't new news! Its been going on forever. The VA S _ _ _ S!
[rolyat ettennaej] - Did it cut into his golf or her shopping budget
[rolyat ettennaej] - Thanks Obama NOT
[notsuoh atina] - Shameful.............disgusting...........the military keeps us safe!!!!
[rehctah j eisus] - I could write a laundry list of things the gov. could change before cutting veteran services. At the top would be Washington salaries and Obama's vacations.
[nottuh annod] - If the veteran dies then the V A does NOT have to pay out anything or very very little. So they won't "hurry" up to "help" our veterans. It is very VERY sad. Our veterans fight for our freedoms & rights & not enough people & government care. I know this does not help, THANK YOU VETERANS & YOUR FAMILIES FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE & WILL DO. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
[sivad lrihs] - They need better + faster help
[namrac nerak] - And they want to handle our insurance. I have dealt with social security and VA for my mother for years and it is the biggest nightmare I have ever had the goverment needs to stay out of our business!
[rolyat esiul-eiram] - it's a crying shame..........
[namtrah ettolrahc yram] - Has it occurred to you that this is deliberate.
[ikswelborw ynot] - I have been waiting over a year to get my Herniated Colon put back in my gut. This is what happened after my Appendix was removed May 6th of 2012. That was a contracted V.A. doctor in Branson, Mo. Now Hines V.A. is putting me through a barrage od tests before they operate on me and requested I take Anger Management Class'. Go figure it?
[nesnegroj breh] - The VA is aware of a lot of thing they do nothing about
[.rs rollem .c divad] - No, Obama is spending all our money on Obamacare, so he can give health care to illegals.
[notgnilrut r dlanod] - CNN my Butt! Everyone knows this has gone on to long! I am entitled but told my Wife to NOT EVER take me to the VA! I worked there! Trust me, I know!!!!!! incompetent as all get out! Out of everyone I knew, ( close to 300 ) I can name you three MAYBE that gave a crap! And then there's my Uncle, Who almost Bleed to death this past week cause the Dentist pulled the rest of his teeth out WHILE he was on Plavix. He was being weaned off 2nd day.....Dentist went ahead anyway, then sent him home. And then after his Apartment looked like a Halloween scene, His Son took him back, and they sat in the ER for 2 hrs... They admitted him, and called the Dentist, who at 1st refused to come back in and re-do! And WE ALL are going to trust the GOVT & IRS with OB CARE! Hahahahaaaa! Ain't No Way!
[mlohsihc m llib] - this is the face of Government heath care, the rest of America is next
[evol nhoj] - I love the V.A.. Its better and the staff are curtius than any hospital.And the people that complains about the VA. You should thank God u have what u got.
[maharg anal] - The problems should have been solved by this time! How many wars, how many Veterans and enlisted men and women have fought and waited? How many more have to?
[edyh enyaw] - A prime example of single payer!
[htims dlanod] - And....Obama care is going to be more efficient. Every time a veteran is denied or delayed shame on us.How long now? How many wars have been fought? And we still can't take care of our veterans adequately. FIX THE VA FIRST.
[ederfnam oilgurt acsot] - Disgraceful. Our veterans should get the best treatment.
[revorg suillif enerod] - They deserve better!!
[repooc ettenaej] - Do what is right!
[nagrom llib] - I have written responding to this accusation previously about letting our veterans die unnecessary in VA Medical Centers. I truly believe that some with CNN have an agenda of making the VA an enemy of our Hero's who have fought for this country.I for one find the stories of CNN deplorable.
[zeugirdor ysiad] - What a shame this the way to care for those who fought for freedom ect ..
[frodnegnal adnama] - Yes this is so true. My friend had to go outside va to get a shunt and drainage tube put in because his fluid levels were up in the 30's and was only supposed to be around 17. That kind of fluid on the brain will kill you and almost killed my friend. Thank God he forced hands at the va to pay for outside care in Dallas. ( one of the worst in the nation)
[yelsob htur] - Big surprise!! We've been waiting 14 years for compensation
[ttobba bed] - Any condition you have is minimalized just so thje VA doesn;t have to treat you.
[retsuc divad] - I was a volunteer driver for a year,I saw it first hand.Some are good and others are bad.Like I said before,they (population) only know us twice a year.(sad but TRUE)!!!!!!!!
[hcok oniroif eilasor] - Is this how we treat our heroes???
[soluopomada ised] - What the "H" is wrong with this government? complete losers!!!
[nella snave yram] - Please have mercy & fix this now!!
[nedram ffokcyw asereht] - This is not right. The VA should use the private sector to fast track these Veterans to health care. Do not make them wait until the VA Medical Centers have the room or the time to see them. They should be able to be treated by their PCP for continuity of care. Pay the providers by a fee schedule and get these Veterans the health care they need and deserve!
[kceb ydnas] - It is so true!!!!!
[teerts 'kralc' enaj] - Just What O. Wants!Supporting Our Veterans: Military veterans are dying needlessly because of long waits and delayed medical care at U.S. v - 100th Comments
[nahallac bob] - This is what obamacare will do to the civilians...
[lirrem lorac] - The government likes taking cheap shots at the vets, the elderly, and the poor. Some of the poor are just lazy and can work, so they can weed those out, and have enough to support the rest.
[yennek eiram ennaid] - This is a disgrace for our nation.
[srelle evets] - that's government run healthcare for ya!
[hcsod dlanod] - I'd like to meet the hero in that uniform. I think he might be a poser. Too many medals and none in the proper location. I'll give you a real Soldiers's picture if you can't find one.
[deens nelleh] - god bless u all u have done u jobs by going to keep us all of safe no it time we step up and help them we owe them or lifes thay give us there
[nameloc bed] - This is very wrong. These guys and gals deserve nothing less than the best service and health care
[yrewol divad] - we have to pay for the lazy people who voted for Obama and his plan he could care less about the veterans what a shame
[sivad resiuahar ecinaj] - This has been going on for too long. I am a veteran and the care we recieve for most of the time sucks. I have a great Doctor at the North Little Rock VA but not sure how long he will b willing to stay. If you go to the ER you may wait 6 hours just to have a Doctor see you for 5 minutes. Its not the Presidents fault if people cover up what they are not doing.
[uaecram mailliw] - The VA refused to do a knee replacement because "It wasn't bad enough and I wasn't old enough." A civilian doctor X-rayed my knee, told me my knee was really bad, and replaced my knee, and later told me my knee was worse than the X-rays showed. Two years later, I am doing quite well with my new knee.
[lleb nerad] - Finally CNN is reporting what FOX has known for years now
[namot ydnar] - We have fought with Pride and Honor for our Country so the government and the young generation would be able to live in peace and the government could rape up
[letohsed noryb ecinaj] - They should treat them better than that! They risk their lives for our country.
[nosfatsug nod] - We always have to wait. Iive needed knee replacement for six years now they have me on a waiting list for up to a year and a half. Maybe we should have made them wait when they sent us to combat
[ztluhcs aglo] - I Very love American Flag.
[sunamcm-enival lelorac] - Problem is not the VA it is the white house
[azuos ed sésiom] - Hurry up and wait!
[osudneg ynot] - Thank you government. You REALLY know how to take care of us vets. We give, you take then turn your back on us. I have been having trouble with poor service with the VA for years. They just dont care.
[leznok aim arac] - This is far more than who will be killed by those horrible nurse practitioners you posted the other day
[htims enna] - Yup...they are like...hurry up and die so we dont have to help you
[thgirw kered] - I'm waiting for ENT surgery approved since 2006 to correct a service connected injury. I scheduled an appointment at Wade Park to try and get on the books for surgery back in December 2012. They had me scheduled for March to see a Nurse Practitioner and he scheduled me to see the ENT Doctor for September and he wants me to have the surgery. As of today I'm still not scheduled and they said they are going to try and do the surgery in 6 months.
[llahsram gerg] - Somehow this does not surprise me.
[nosdrahcir yduj] - We were told by V.A. docs that our Dad had 10 days to either get better or .... He died on day 9. Very bad situation.
[nesrehpotsirhc cire] - I visit the V.A. Hospital in Richmond Virginia regularly I have nothing but good things to say. They are the best and their attitude is great. Everything for the Vet.
[namzug siul] - The current medical care in VA is not the greatest, I had to go outside the VA use my Medicare to see a cardiologist who performed an emergency heart cath, he found three block arteries and I had three stents placed in those arteries to correct the problem. I had been complaining to the VA for more than a year about chest pains and they never bother to refer me to a cardiologist. I am lucky to have survived the VA poor medical care, too many people in the VA just worry about their retirement checks.
[sdlonyer divad] - The VA disgusts me. Many of the employees betray our veterans every day with their incompetence, lack of accountability, and lack of care for our soldiers. The Federal Government should make our veterans (especially disabled) a priority and send-in private sector consultants to clean-house and square that agency away!!!
[nostrebor cram] - I have visited the VA many times and have never had a good experience. I went for knee issues after a deployment and they had me do PT for 6 weeks (40 min drive each way). I did what they asked and they said ok you're all better and I told them I still had a great deal of pain in my knee. I overheard the doctor talking to another doctor in the next room and she said I was just there to get attention and nothing was wrong with me. I asked for another doctor and when I saw her she said your fine see you in a year for a check up and take some Motrin. I about lost it, I asked for an MRI which surprisingly she agreed to. The only problem was I would have to wait a month and a half to get the scan plus drive an hour and a half away to get it. I ended up calling my civilian doctor that day and was scheduled for an MRI a half mile from my house the next morning. Long story short I was in surgery two weeks later. I just used my civilian insurance and paid quite a bit out of pocket for the surgery. Sure I could have had it free from the VA but it wasn't worth it in the long run, haven't stepped foot in a VA clinic in over 4 years.
[noslen ssecnirpecikcalb refinnej] - I've been saying this about Dorn for years. My dads one of the vets it took years to diagnose
[nosliw bob] - if you kill them then you don't have to pay a disability pension
[otamad drahcir] - Why the problem, did we respond immediately when our country called? We demand the same from the COUNTRY WE DEFENDED! !!!! PRETTY SIMPLE WE SURVERED AND SURVIVED, TAKE CARE OF ALL NOW !!!!!!!!
[eel yrret] - Thank the Congress for our veterans suffering, these bums even want to lower funding for veterans!
[steehcs sillyhp] - That is terrible, they gave their service to our country, and look how they are treated when they come back sick and injured.
[acabed ycnan] - Shame - Shame - Shame !!!!!!
[ttelbus ymerej] - They have to many Vets, for the money (staff), that they have.
[htims sinned] - If CNN is serious about military veterans, disabled, dying of old age, and shooting them selves. START SCREAMING 24/7 DAILY about VA benifits, thru the VA-START KICKING, THE POLITICAL PARTIES, PRESIDENT, 24/7 SCREAM LOUD, As for the un-Supreme Court, close the doors-with them inside until they study the HOLY BIBLE and put their prior deceisons in the outhouse. Now for CHRISTMAS, it is illegal to put a doll in a manger. The President does not have to observe sevaral off government????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[eelsekalb llij] - This doesn't surprise me. When the vets at the hospital run out of hygiene items they don't get anymore unless some one donates or families b egg ing it to them.
[narhcoc veb] - Come on, get it together. They did for you, me and our country.
[krikwen nor] - And there is still plenty of room left under the Obama bus..!
[rekcots nod] - Because we can't find a freaking parking spot to get in the building!
[nospmoht leahcim] - I just received an appt
For respatory. Problem s in Washington D.C. for Nov.26. 13 and I requested this appointment 2 yrs ago when I lived in that area. I now live in Cleveland Ohio .
[gnol nimajneb] - Nothing new under the sun, my father was WIA in Vietnam and his PTSD came not from combat, but from the piss-poor care and service given him by a VA hospital.
[dlonra ysiad] - Many many prayers to all our veterans n their families. God Bless all Active n Veterans.
[setneup adielec] - Troy,you are right.We support all veterans.
[silliw .j enuj] - Unthinkable!! As the widow of two WWII veterans, I know how much good service is needed by our vets. Disgraceful to let them down when they have given so much to our country!!
[ikswotamor kcir] - My roommate uses the Baltimore VA hospital. He was part of a study when he had a double hernia repair. They failed and it took two years of begging to have them fixed. The patient advocate is useless. He constantly leaves messages and never gets a call . back. He has to devote a day for a routine visit. The desk workers and shuttle driver are nasty and lazy. The place is a disgrace. It's main purpose seems to be to employ people who could not possibly be employed on the private sector,
[nosredna liagirem] - Folks the va is literally overwhelmed understaffed I have seen vast improvements over the years but with so many new vets coming in there is just not enough resources I believe that a stronger management and fee basis is needed more however, with the federal budget restraints this I not possible
[sneffets .c nhoj] - Former General Shinseki is in charge. Remember that he is the @$$hole that made the beret decree some years ago. He also does NOT want a law to provide for the Veterans Administration in case of another shut-down because of not having a budget passed by the Senate.
[alatah .w drahcir] - thank you mr Obama.
[murc einna] - Why is our country like this??? And no one mentioned all of the suicides. Tears
[retsul ymmat] - Our government should be ashamed of the way they're taking care of our military men & women! I am!Supporting Our Veterans: Military veterans are dying needlessly because of long waits and delayed medical care at U.S. v - 150th Comments
[nosnhoj rehtaeh] - I am the wife of a Veteran. My hubby is in his 20's. Injuries are bad, but not going to kill him....yet. I am slowly figuring out their system. It is a terrible how they handle our veterans. The workers are saying "it's getting fixed" but I never really see a change until they find something worse with the veteran themselves. Which is what is happening to us and then they hurry to attempt better care. So far it's always too late for too many.
[taocffej irret] - The VA needs to hire employees and not use the registries, or more commonly put, "renta-techs" or renta-RN's". We need dedicated employees to help our Nation's best.
[dluab ycart] - This is so sad the V A should have the best Dr.'s there ever was
[dawsa divad] - Give us are rightful do, the care we earned for the service in the military.
[gninnam neelhtak] - The government is so not looking after there vets. I know..My husband( God rest his soul) Was one of them!!...
[saarul enaid] - THATS DISGUSTING
[iii notpit h mailliw] - It appears that this administration and congress could care less.
[seyah yduj] - Shame, shame! But we send billions to other countries. Can't w cut it a little for our vets?
[relyt notned enegomi] - They fought for country help them to live
[senoj ylreveb] - How can our gov't do this to our vets.
[gnilles lliw] - There is now way the Federal Government can fulfill it's obligation to us veterans. So, my Desert Storm buddies and I are creating a non-profit sanctuary that is completely self-reliant, where fellow veterans can stay as long as they carry their weight. Please check out our FB page, American Cavalry. Thank you.
[rezoob rehtul] - We know this,now what can be done about it ?

[noswar-rettibra anit] - I unfortunately know all about this. I have lupus and only get to see a rheumatologist 2 times a year and everytime I see a different person. My medical records are not an accurate explaination of the toll this disease has had on my body......I have told my husband that I am ready to die at 33 years old. The VA leaves sick veterans hopeless and helpless!
[kaehc irrehs] - Ugh..this makes me sick. It's pathetic how our veterans are being treated and for years now.

[setom dlanor] - I'm not understanding why politicians, whom some have not served, get free health and medical yet us veterans have to pay! Were we nothing more than cannon fodder? Do we not deserve anything for serving our country? Some of us live on a fixed income and an extremely tight budget. I'm to the point that I am about to give up my meds. And say the hell with the VA!
[sdrawde lem] - This is unacceptable for our HEROES to diein such a disgraceful manner!

Who owns QTC? A former VA secretary, he is making millions providing a cheap medical Service to VA using 3 class cheap doctors.
[serrot nadlor onil] - We cannot trust the service at VA hospitals and clinics, politicians does not know what is going on, simply because they use Bethesda and Walter Reed. Our clinic here at Fort Sill is a good example of this, we have to wait one year to see a doctor, including us with 100 percent disability, VA is doing this on purpose, for us to pass and become another number.
[greb naj] - The thanks we get for serving our nation
[yttevcm t sicnarf] - And this is what the civilian population will be experiencing with Obama care.
[ii iksworbmod trebla] - I'm I wrong in posting the "military logic" in this? Coldly stating that it's cheaper for the government to allow veterans to die from waiting then provide the services they need. Why so greedy?
[nnigcm oj eniale] - All part of his PLAN.... Democrats, are you proud now?
[redienhcs nwad] - That's how they get rid of the eldery and sick that cost money to take care of.
[heer tsruh ylreveb] - That is so sad - after what they have done for all of us and fought for our freedom. Why are there so many problems????
[dnalven f ligriv] - This is totally unacceptable and the director and chief of staff should be fired. It is incidents like this that gives the VA a bad name.
[rehtuos snehpets yduj] - this is criminal
[gnirac rehtomdnarg] - they are to busy partying
[nospmoht naej] - Shameful, and always has been.
[nosirrah evets] - Delay and Deny till they die is the VA's motto! Vets have known Govt run health care is bad for years! Looks like the rest of you are going to find out soon!
[sthgir yrrac delaecnoc dna nug sionilli] - Great Lakes VA in North Chicago is a filthy mess. I wouldn't take my dog there for treatment. Half the people working there can barely speak English. 12 years in the Corps and this benefit is useless to me.

The Adapteva team (Fred, Diana, Andreas, Graham, Shiri)

Dear Friends and Backers,

Last week we reached a MAJOR milestone. We finished shipping the bulk (97%) of the Kickstarter rewards!!

The 64-core boards are in the final stage of assembly and should ship late this week or early next week.

At this point if you signed up for a 16-core board and haven't received a shipping notification yet, then something probably needs to get fixed and you should contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

We do hope you are enjoying your Parallella boards. We loved seeing all the nice messages on Twitter (@adapteva and @parallellaboard) over the last few weeks and really look forward to hearing more about your projects. Once you start using the board, we hope you join the Parallella community forum to let others benefit from your experiences.

Best wishes,

The Adapteva Team

Dear backers,

I am extremely happy to announce that the 64-core Parallella board is alive and well!! The 64-core and 16-core Parallella computers share the same PCB design and on paper "it should have been" a very simple bringup process. The picture you see above is a 64-core Parallella board with a socket soldered onto the board to allow for in-place testing of the 64-core Epiphany-IV chips. We powered up the board last Thursday and by Friday evening we had a program running through to completion on the Epiphany, blinking an LED for good measure. Getting the elink read path flushed out took a little longer, but by Wednesday this week we had the whole board up and running perfectly. Having debugged 4 different Epiphany chips and 6 different Epiphany based boards to date, there is definitely a familiar pattern emerging:-)

Chip/board arrives

Nothings works-->panic

First "doh" moment-->signs of life, relief

Everything seems to work-->euphoria

A weird behavior manifests itself-->depression

Subtle "doh" moment and fix-->calm

We will start building and shipping the 64-core boards next week!

Despite all the delays and challenges along the way, the 64-core Parallella is still setting the standard in terms of energy efficiency. In fact, it could be argued that it's the most efficient computer in the world today! Amazing to think that none of this would have happened if YOU hadn't taken a chance on us back in 2012!

 At one point during the Kickstarter campaign, life was a nightmare...now it feels more like a dream.

On the 16-core production front, we have now shipped up to backer #2,999 and all the remaining boards have made it through assemly. We expect to get ALL of the Kickstarter boards to our shipping partner by the end of next week.

If you received your board already, PLEASE do power up your board and tell us about your experience. The Parallella project long term survival hinges on the strength of the community and we need a steady stream of feedback to make the platform better.

Sincerely,

Andreas

Dear (and patient) friends and backers,

We can FINALLY tell you with 100% confidence that we are in the final stage of producing and shipping ALL of the Kickstarter (and pre-order) Parallella boards!!

We have successfully built and shipped 1,500 Parallella boards so far and 15,000 new fabs came in on schedule at the beginning of March.

Unfortunately at that point we were stuck for weeks waiting for the last key components to arrive. (there are ~90 different parts on the board). Due to our standing start in January (see Update#47), the logistics of bringing in all of the ICs for the Parallella board turned out be a nightmare. We worked diligently with our distributors to bring in the parts as quickly as possible, but the standard lead times for out of stock parts is 12 weeks. Unfortunately despite everyone's best effort...the production line came to a halt due to two single source ICs.

All of the parts are now finally available and the Parallella production line is in full swing!

 Here is the build schedule for the next few weeks:

4/4: 1,400 completed

4/11: 2,800 completed (including all 64-core boards)

4/18: 4,300 completed

4/25: 4,800 completed (All of the Kickstarter orders completed!!!)

5/8: All of the Pre-orders completed

We hope you are still excited about the Parallella project despite all the delays and that you will have a lot of fun with your board once it arrives. I use the Parallella almost every day and love it! Hopefully you will too.:-)

Sincerely,

Andreas

(Reminder: For any and all support question/issue/address-change etc, please contact email@example.com)

Good news!

All 1,500 Parallella boards from this batch are through assembly at our contract manufacturer. 800 orders have passed tests and are now in the "shipping" pipeline stage with the remaining units still undergoing testing. Not surprisingly, testing has been the major bottle neck so far. Needless to say, we are now working on speeding up test times.

Many of you will be getting shipping notifications in the next couple of days!!

As a reminder, we are still waiting for more bare PCBs to complete the build cycle of the remaining ~4,800 Parallella units.

I hope you have time to check out the ray tracing demo above from @shodruky, one of our most prolific supporters. We absolutely love that all of his work to date has been published under an open source BSD license! Check out some of the projects that he has created in the last 6 weeks (without ANY support from us!).

1.) An openGL command server that allows the Parallella to leverage a Raspberry Pi as an inexpensive "graphics accelerator".

https://github.com/shodruky-rhyammer/gl-streaming

2.) A scalable parallel Mandelbrot demo.

https://github.com/parallella/parallella-examples/tree/master/mandelbrot

3.) An open source parallel ray tracer tutorial for the Parallella. I highly recommend looking through his source code. Lots of neat tricks in there.

https://github.com/parallella/parallella-examples/tree/master/blobubska

4.) Debugged our Ubuntu desktop environment.

http://forums.parallella.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=844

The hardware was always the easy part. The real fun starts at the application level:-)

I am confident that if >10% of our Kickstarter backers turn out to be as prolific and collaborative as @shodruky, the Parallella project is going to be an enormous long term success!!

Best wishes,

Andreas

Dear Friends and Backers:

Great news! The Parallella boards are starting to roll off the production line. So far we have 300 boards built up with more boards being built every day. The yield looks very good so far!

We do have some work left in speeding up the production line through "task optimization, pipelining and multi-threading". Sounds familiar.:-) Our goal is to reach a production rate of 500 boards per day as soon as possible.

We will be shipping a large number of boards this week and will report back by next Sunday regarding the total # of boards shipped.

Best wishes,

Andreas

PS. If there is any interest in seeing a video of the Parallella production flow, we will try to convince our contract manufacturer to let us film the process. Let us know...
 tag:www.kickstarter.com,2008-10-09:Post/736614 2014-02-02T22:03:28-05:00 2014-02-09T22:42:27-05:00 The Build Starts This Week...
Dear Friends and Backers:

Since closing our funding round at the end of December we have been fighting major lead time battles. As many of you know distributors these days try to minimize the amount of inventory they carry and the standard lead time for many ICs can be as long as 10-14 weeks. Procuring a small number of parts at high prices is not that difficult, but getting thousands of single source ICs at reasonable prices is a different story. The end of December is a bad time to ramp up procurement from a standing start, but I am happy to report that we we are now through this hurdle and we will be starting major Parallella board builds this week!!

I am also happy to report that we were able to keep the board assembly local even with the aggressive Parallella cost model. This wasn't a key goal of the project, but it does feel satisfying to defeat yet another myth that "there is no way to do low cost manufacturing in the US".

Build/Ship Status:

1,500 PCB fabs received. Build starting Feb 4th, 15 day turn.

Build up all 64-core boards starting Feb 4th, 15 day turn.

Build of remaining Kickstarter units starting March 5th, 15 day turn. Getting the PCB fabs built up at a reasonable price was the gating item. (We paid a steep premium on the first 1,500 fabs to accelerate the build, but can't afford that for the whole lot)

Team Update:

As you know, Adapteva was struggling for much of the later half of 2013 (losing two key team members due to our financial situation), but but we are now making a comeback and starting to grow the team! Last week a very experienced hardware designer (Fred) joined the Adapteva team here in Lexington, increasing the size of the engineering team by 100%! Fred has 25 years of experience in board and FPGA design and will first of all make sure we get the FPGA build repositories and how-to guides into better shape (so that anyone interested in hacking the Parallella project can do so easily). We are also actively hiring in a number of AREAS in case you are interested in joining us.

A THANK YOU to our Partners:

A huge part of the credit for the getting the Parallella project this far goes to the technical partner companies who stayed with us through some very dark times! For those of you who may need hardware or software design services, we do hope you give these guys a chance, they deserve it!! They are first rate on the technical front, fantastic to work with, and 100% transparent and honest.

 Boston Design Solutions: Board layout/design. Many of you have made positive comments about how dense this 12 layer board is. This is thanks to the work of Mike, Mike,and Kevin at Boston Design Solutions.

 Embecosm: GNU tool chain support from the UK. Fervent open hardware supporters and GDB/GCC gurus at the highest level.

 Antmicro: Embedded software support, BSP, Linux. They got the HDMI to finally work back in August and have been supporting our Linux and board bring-up work for the last 6 months. More exciting things coming from these guys soon..

 Brown Deer Technology: The latest OpenCL SDK for the Parallella is rock solid and will serve as a great baseline for parallel programming. They have also shown prototype implementations of MPI and OpenMP, showing the versatility of the Epiphany architecture as well as the COPRTHR SDK.

Events:

If you are interested in meeting the Adapteva team, these will be our coordinates this winter/spring.

 Open Compute Project Summit (Jan 27th, San Jose): The Open Compute Project is a great initiative started by Facebook, centered around sharing information about server infrastructure design and collaborating openly. Last week I traveled to the conference to support our friends at Rex Computing and somehow found myself participating in a the 24 hour Open Compute hardware hackathon with the Parallella. Hopefully this will provide some more evidence that the Parallella board exists as a product and actually works pretty well. Needless to say, this was the most fun I have had in a long time! Check out this video at 11:08 in to see what happened. (That's Frank Frankovsky, the president of the Open Compute project closing the conference..)

 Embedded World (Feb25-27, Nurnberg/Germany): We will be showing off Parallella boards at the conference and may even have a surprise for you by then.:-) We are working on organizing a Parallella party at the conference and it goes without saying that anyone who was a Kickstarter backers will be invited.:-)

 EclipseCon (March 19, San Francisco): We will be presenting an Eclipse parallel debugging environment together with Ericsson. As you know, debugging a parallel program is at least twice as hard as writing one, so hopefully this work will be useful for many of you once you get your boards and start using the Parallella.

 EELive (April 2, San Jose): We will share everything we learned during the Parallella project.

 International Supercomputing Conference (June 23-26, Leipzig/Germany): We will have a booth right next to Samsung and Nvidia at the entrance. Should be a fun contrast.:-)

Help Requests:

 Early User Feedback: We have only received feedback from a very small number of the people who received their boards so far. Any feedback is good feedback, so please don't be shy!! Go to forums.parallella.org to share.

 Linux Kernel Feedback: We have made a significant upgrade to the Linux kernel (now 3.12) and the results are very encouraging. The official fork can now be found HERE. For those of you that are Linux kernel experts, please do let us know if you have any feedback and submit pull requests!

 Parallella Examples: @9600 has started an examples repository on github HERE. Given how easy it is to collaborate on github, we hope some of you who have started Parallella code projects already will consider submitting pull requests to make it easy for other backers to learn from your examples.

 Backer Number Swap: If some of your are really anxious to get started programming using the Parallella, please put in a request in the comment section below describing your project and how it will help the rest of the community. We can't let you cut in line, but perhaps one of the backers with low numbers would be nice enough to trade spots.(we'll take care of the arrangements.

The next update will describe the results of the first massive build and will show pictures of large stacks of Parallella boards about to be shipped.

Sincerely,

Andreas

Dear Friends and backers,

Now that everything is finally on the table, we can provide a more complete summary of where the Parallella board production pipeline stands.

But first, we want to share this awesome demo that community member @shodruky did! It's a great example of how an application can be broken down to run in parallel on the Epiphany with minimal effort. Check out his close to linear speed-up improvement going from 1 to 16 cores. Very impressive! His code example can be found HERE.

Parallella Shipments Status:

$10,000 and $2500 Backers received a final version Parallella board

Backers up to #90 have either received boards or have boards in transit

All $25 backers have been shipped T-Shirts

In order to build up all of the 6,300 Parallella boards we need to get every single part on the board in house. All in all, that's over 3M components. We were able to order some of the longer lead time parts back in early December and we wish we could have ordered the whole BOM at that time, but unfortunately our purchasing power was essentially dropped to zero for a few weeks until the new funding came in.

 Unfortunately in today's environment, few distributors carry inventory in major quantities so it only takes one missing part to cause significant manufacturing delays. We are working with our distributor to get every single part for the 6,300 unit build in house asap and will let you know if any delivery issues come up. At this point the time critical item is the Parallella PCB and there is little we can do to speed up the delivery of these parts.

Parts Status:

1,500 PCBs expected by January 28

10,000 PCBs expected by February 15th

Zynq, DDR, PMIC, Clock Driver, Ethernet Phy, Epiphany all set with 7,000 units

Rest of BOM is in the process of being procured.

The next major milestone will be when we have all the material procured and ready for use in a massive Parallella board build.

Other Material Bought To Date:

1300 Accessory kits

~3000 Power Supplies

1900 Cases

~3000 SD cards

~5000 different cables

10,000 boxes, antistatic bags, and box labels

10,000 heatsinks

110 Ethernet switches

550 T-Shirts

There is certainly still a lot of work to be done to make sure the massive 6,300 unit Parallella build happens quickly and ships without a hitch, but at least it's more or less under our control.

For those lucky few who already received one of the first 100 boards sent out, please post pictures/videos!

Sincerely,

Andreas,

Dear Friends and Backers,

It took much longer than expected, but we can finally disclose more details about "the announcement" that we mentioned back in mid November. The really great news is that Ericsson (the Swedish telecommunication giant) and Carmel Ventures (a large Israeli VC firm) have made a significant investment in Adapteva, ensuring that we can finally deliver all the Parallella boards. The funding came in on December 19th, 2013. You can read more details about the funding announcement HERE.

The hard truth is that we made some fatal mistakes at the outset of the Parallella Kickstarter campaign and we have spent a year living through a nightmare as a result. To put things in perspective, by the time we ship you the Parallella boards, the total money spent by Adapteva on the Parallella project will be 2X the money brought in through the Kickstarter campaign. The Parallella project funding goal of $750K was somewhat optimistic from the outset, but we were confident in our ability to bring in additional funding and revenue to make up the difference if needed. We were right about our ability to raise funds, but we completely underestimated the challenges we would face along the way. We started aggressively fund raising in January 2013 and although there were many points at which funding seemed imminent, the latest funding round only closed in December 2013.

Now that our financial challenges are behind us we will put all of our energy into shipping out the Parallellas as soon as we possibly can. We will post a second status update later today about material acquisition status, Parallella board builds and shipments.

We will never forget the incredible support and patience that you have showed us through this year and we will do everything we can to pay it forward!

Sincerely,

Andreas

Hi,

We thought you might like to get external validation that the Parallella actually works so here you go..

One of the most active Parallella forum members "@shodruky" received a board a few days ago and check out what he did! Simply Amazing!

Combining the Parallella with a $25 Raspberry Pi makes so much sense. Each board performs the job it does best. Parallella crunches numbers and the Raspberry Pi handles the graphics. Heterogeneous computing at its finest!

@shodruky also played around with the board to try to reproduce what we did for the Kickstarter demo video last year. We still have some tuning left to optimize performance, but it's not a bard start. We have a computer!

In terms of production and, we are still busy beating on the board from all directions trying to find as many issues as possible as quickly as possible. Here is one issue we found this week: http://forums.parallella.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=841.

On the power front, we can tell you that a 5 Watt credit card sized board will get hot! The thermal picture below shows that we are doing much better with the Gen 1.1 board than with the Gen 0 board from the summer, but power and cooling is clearly going to be an ongoing challenge for the life of the Parallella project. For now, we have decided to throw in a heat-sink for the Zynq device with every Parallella board.

Parallella with Zynq Heatsink

Parallella with Zynq Heatsink and Light Airflow

On a separate note, the event for "the announcement" happened, but since most of the world is now on holiday, we'll wait until after new year to announce.:-) It's good news!

For the lucky few who received their boards or are about to receive their boards, for the benefit of rest of the Parallella kickstarter backers..PLEASE power up your board and start using it!! New product validation is a team effort, the more testers there are the better the product becomes. If there are any issues that we might have missed, we would rather know about it now than after shipping all 6,300 boards!

Wishing everyone joyful and restful holidays and a happy new year!

Since last Wednesday we have been busy ramping up our production test flow and validating all the features on the Gen1 Parallella board. We are very pleased to announce that we will be shipping 50 boards on Wednesday the 18th and another 100 (at least) by Monday 12/23.

Parallella boards heading into wave solder

Who will get a board?

The very first recipients will be the 15 Kickstarter backers who supported us at the EARLY-ACCESS ($2500) and 64-NOW ($10,000) levels. Going forward, the rest of the 16-core Parallella boards will be shipped in order of backer number . The total number of rewards we can ship in this batch is dependent on our production yield ramp, but we hope to get up to backer #130.

Shipping Details:

We have selected DHL Globalmail (http://us.dhlglobalmail.com/) for shipping to all backers. Having reviewed many Kickstarter projects, we know that getting international delivery right is a huge challenge. We think we have found the most practical solution, but of course we are open to feedback. Please do note that in some countries there may be VAT, fees or import duties due on your purchase that you will need to pay upon receipt of the board. Once your order ships, you will receive an email with a tracking number. Please be sure to add firstname.lastname@example.com to your contact list to avoid it getting stuck in your spam filter.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please send an email to us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

 Sincerely,

Graham and Diana

Get Better Results with high quality digital content and an easy to use platform!
NEW Media Update edition! The Miller/O'Neill/Hyde text paperback series has aligned with a new online homework platform - Connect Math Hosted by ALEKS Corp. Based on a comprehensive market development process involving full-time and adjunct math faculty, Connect Math Hosted by ALEKS was built to excel in two areas: quality content and ease of use. A team of instructors and subject matter experts created the stepped out solutions for each algorithmic question, pulled from exercises in the text, to follow the exact methodology and language of the text in order to remain consistent across print and digital materials. The workflow is intuitive so that instructors can deliver assignments, quizzes, and tests easily online. Online study assets are specifically tied to the textbook. Connect Math Hosted by ALEKS also combines an online homework manager with an artificial-intelligent, diagnostic assessment to gauge the students' current knowledge. With Connect Math Hosted by ALEKS Plus, students have 24/7 online access to an integrated, media-rich eBook.
The Miller/O'Neill/Hyde author team continues to offer an enlightened approach grounded in the fundamentals of classroom experience in Intermediate Algebra 2e. The text reflects the compassion and insight of its experienced author team with features developed to address the specific needs of developmental level students. Throughout the text, the authors communicate to students the very points their instructors are likely to make during lecture, and this helps to reinforce the concepts and provide instruction that leads students to mastery and success. Also included in this edition are Problem Recognition Exercises, designed to help students recognize which solution strategies are most appropriate for a given exercise. These types of exercises, along with the number of practice problems and group activities available, permit instructors to choose from a wealth of problems, allowing ample opportunity for students to practice what they learn in lecture to hone their skills. In this way, the book perfectly complements any learning platform, whether traditional lecture or distance-learning; its instruction is so reflective of what comes from lecture, that students will feel as comfortable outside of class as they do inside class with their instructor.

Depends on the specific film and complexion involved. For outdoor portraiture with TMax 100, for example, I like to carry along a light yellow-green filter. I will darken the sky a bit better, and not make
light complexion look paste-like, like an orange filter would. However, a bit of green will accentuate
freckles or zits or things like that. My favorite filter for this is Hoya XO.

The trip was nice and relaxing, very enjoyable. The food was great, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The live pianist was a wonderful touch to a romantic evening.
Steven N
Great entertainment, delicious food and good service! A pity that we had the rain but overall, a very enjoyable dinner cruise. Many thanks.
Paul L
Great experience, well worth the effort.
Clayton D
The food was great the company was good the stand in skipper did a sterling job. The staff were courteous and helpful but there is one thing that I feel could help to make the night even more enjoyable was that towards the later part of the evening the music was getting to loud and we found that even though we were sitting at the front we had to raise our voice to make ourselves heard of be quiet or go outside. Other wise a great time, thanks.
Andrea W
It was a nice experience; however, it was a nasty surprise to pay extra on the day to get a table to ourselves considering they had already told us we had a table to ourselves.
Roy S
United Kingdom
This is a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. We had not expected entertainment, but the pianist and singer were excellent. There was more than adequate food and wine, and the trip was about the right length. Perhaps a map showing the route would have been helpful as we weren't always sure of the sights we could see.
Peter T
It was a very nice evening.
Meindert V
Lovely evening on the river with food to match. Pleasant leisurely cruise, enjoyable food and wine.
We had a very good trip. The meal was fantastic, staff was very good, but it would be nice if we were told where we were on the river at all times, as we had no idea where we were.
Had a lovely cruise. Staff were very friendly and the food was great. The beers and wine were a bit cheap and lacked choice. The lights of Perth were also very scarce but we had a great time.
My e- voucher clearly stated that cocktails could be purchased from the bar, this was NOT the case and I was left disappointed. Being from interstate some commentary would have been good or even a map to follow at each table..otherwise the tour was ok
We really enjoyed the Perth City of Lights dinner cruise once it got started. Unfortunately we didn't feel that it was very well signed. Our booking had Pier 3 on so we waited there for nearly 1/2 an hour before finding it moored at pier 2 with no obvious signage
Wonderful experience :D
Reasonably attentive staff. Very busy the night we booked and very roudy crowd on board. The buffet was good but rather than seperate courses it was a case of pile everything on one plate, this meaning you had salad/cold prawns on a plate with roast beef/gravy or stroganoff. Staff were a little keen to get everything off your table (drinks and bottles of water) for about 30 mins before the cruise end.
Very enjoyable cruise. We always take a cruise with you when visiting Perth. We love them. This was our first time on the night cruise. Disappointed there was no commentary pointing out where we were and what lights we were looking at. Crew outstanding as always.
We loved the boat and the cruise and food great......but very disappointed staff, they were not attentive at all. They were either generally talking amongst themselves or eating their Dinner behind the bar. In the whole time I was there I only received 2 drinks.
James C
I was expecting a romantic dinner cruise with a candle between my partner and i and a meal that was cooked to perfection. This was a bums on seats trip and was a let down.
Pascal M
I booked for our wedding anniversary and even though we knew we could not book seating we had no idea that we would be seated with 4 other people at one table and have no privacy, this spoilt the experience for us because we had no way of knowing what to expect.
The absolute worst way to spend money in perth! You are better off making your own food and going to Kings Park to see the sunset for FREE!! The food the provide is terrible!
Lots of loud music that is all 80s american with drunk people dancing on the lower decks.
Seriously think twice!!
I was hoping for a sophisticated night out with dinner on board a boat, for an anniversary present for my partner. Instead it lacked a lot of refinement, everyone was drinking heavily, and the food was disappointing. Was really not worth the money spent. Especially the desserts were a disappointment - they did not taste good quality at all. Perth could do with a truly classy dinner on board a boat, with table service, a-la-carte menu, and a live band.
I will not advise anyone to take on this night dining cruise as it is simply not worth it.
You wont see anything thru the windows or you could maybe see something if you put your head against the windows...
Secondly the food was not good, very casual, very poor in taste.
Not to be done at night
i took friends who were visiting from overseas and have to say we were all very disappointed with the trip, from the start to finsh , we couldnt wait to get off .the quality of food and drink on offer was very poor and we were sat right next to the dj and dance floor so couldnt really have a conversation when the music started.. a really poor experience overall
Paul M
People and atmosphere was nice. Food was the worst I have had since boarding school, just awful.

cardio in the morning, empty stomach
cardio in the morning, empty stomach
Hi I want to lose body fat and I want to lose the fat without muscle I gained and I eat very clean and healthy.
Im going to buy that supplement called leukic from muscletech and its 100% anabolic compound.
and when I do cardio in the morning I take 1 serving of leukic before I do the cardio and I dont eat anything before cardio except that leukic and do cardio for about 20 to 30 mins HIT.
and when I finish my cardio I wait for about an hour to eat.
Will this help me to lose body fat and keep the muscle because that leukic doesnt put me on catabolic state so I wont lose my muscle.
30 minutes of high intensity cardio can burn up 50g of protein. If your stomach is empty, you will burn some muscle. Supplementing with leucine at a high dosage will help, but there are other BCAA's that will help also. As far as muscle tech goes...that is why no one as replied to your thread... NO believes in muscle tech.
I think static cardio on an empty stomach is a great idea, HIIT is not. Leukic, which is basically 3 or 4 unnecessarily fancy forms of leucine can "help" prevent catabolism, but only to a certain extent.NSCA - CSCS

Update on Silvia TeresaSilvia is 49 years old and a resident of Villa Reconciliación, a poor area of Managua. She is a single woman and mother of three children with whom she is looking to get ahead.
Currently Silvia is earning a living from her small grocery store, which she wants to invest in with various products.

Additional Information
About AFODENICThis loan is administered by AFODENIC, La Asociación para el Fomento al Desarrollo Nicaragua, a Kiva Field Partner based in Managua, Nicaragua. Founded in 1999, AFODENIC was created to promote the socio-economic and cultural development of sectors that are excluded from commercial banking. Integrating economic and human resources, AFODENIC offers affordable and adaptable financial services aimed at strengthening the family unit of their clients, who include students, producers, and micro- and small entrepreneurs from rural and urban areas. AFODENIC is a socially responsible institution engaged in society and making a positive impact on its professional partners and communities.
Supporting a borrower through AFODENIC contributes to the pursuit of innovation in mitigating poverty in Nicaragua. Visit AFODENIC's partner page for more information.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Remote Entry System
Key FobSome systems are designed with the ability to release the trunk latch, open sun roof and illuminate head and tail lights and more. A key fob utilizes a small battery to power the transmitter, when this battery becomes weak the working range of the fob decreases or stops working entirely. To replace this battery snap open the fob with a small screw driver and release the battery from its holder, replace with a new battery and reassemble. If a key fob requires replacement it is usually best to get a replacement from your car's dealer in your local area. Adding new remotes can often be a way of making a spare key fob because you can program more than one remote to work with your keyless entry system. If the keyless entry system stops working suddenly, check the fuse panel for blown fuses and replace as needed. If further technical assistance is needed, our certified car repair technicians are ready to answer your car questions.Related Car Repair Information
