Journal - Special Guest Johanna Shares and Takes Your Questions
We have been blessed to have Johanna join us to share her experiences on her very recent rhinoplasty surgery. Unable to breathe due to a deviated septum and obstructed nasal airway, she had to undergo an extremely difficult reconstruction of the nose. She also underwent chin augmentation.
Thank you so much Johanna for helping inform others. We here at PlasticSurgerySpot are praying for you to have a speedy and safe recovery. I'll let you take it from here...
Hello Everyone
Hi Everyone,
Johanna here. I did have an extremely invasive, extensive complete nasal reconstrucion. 80-90 % of the surgery was internal, and I am still recovering. For 15 years I haven't been able to breath, and it affected my life in ways I'm sure I still have not realized. My left nostril was completely closed, and the entire nasal cavity was sideways. Next week I'll be receiving the operation report, so I'll be able to tell you in technical terms exactly what was wrong, and the procedures done to correct the problem. My surgery was so extensive and rare another surgeon was flown in from Florida to witness the procedure. And that was when my surgeon had no idea of the extent of my injuries. Once opened up, things were much worse than he thought.
Many people don't realize they are going through life with a kind of disability. When I was 12 (playing first base on a boys baseball team :D), I was hit in the head with a baseball right between my eyes. My plastic surgeon, Dr. Gerald Acker, said this type of injury had to be caused by something, and that was probably it. Learning to breath all over again, I often catch myself with my mouth hanging open. After all that time, it's easy to forget I can now breath through my nose!
Believe me, I am still healing. I am definitely still swollen, have numbness, and other issues. There are plenty of tricks I have picked up that really do help and will share and answer as many questions as I can. I will be putting up some before and after pictures, and will scan in my operation repoert as soon as I get it. I also had a chin implant, put in through the inside of my lower lip, which healed immediately and looks great. Looking forward to helping and informing all of you who are comteplating, or have already had surgery.
Should have mentioned...
I should have mentioned - I had the surgery on January 8th of this year, so you guys are on my healing journey along with me. I pray in the end I have a wonderful recovery with spectacular results. I'm sure I will be asking you guys plenty of questions as well.
That sounds like a pretty big ordeal Johanna! Another surgeon flew in to watch?! :shocked: What city was this all done in?
you said the injury happened 15 years ago how old were you no? I know someone that had a similar injury to their nose not from a baseball but from a fight. He was something like 17 or 18 when it happened and he got surgery at 24 and the bridge of his nose was smooshed in from the implact of the first so the surgeon had to build it back up again to make it normal. It's really scary to think we can just be doing aactivity like baseball and end up with such a horrific injury. I had a deviated septum fixed when I was 20 which of course doesn't even compare to your injury but it's funny ever since I'm super cautious with my nose. I get nervous when objects come close to my nose because I'm afraid of ruining my nose again!
So you're like a month post-op? Glad to hear your on your journey to recovery!!! Growing up with the injury did that have any impact on your speech and talking because you couldn't breathe normally?
Hey Johanna I have the same problem with my nose but it doesn't sound as bad as yours. So it sounds like you're breathing good now? I need to get surgery to open up one side which is collapsed 80 to 90% and the doctor wants to use rib cartilage to open it up. Did the dr. use any cartilage grafts to keep your nose open? My surgeon gave me the option of either rib or ear cartilage and to be honest I'm afraid of using either :Freak:
Check out You Tube videos
YouTube - Plastic Surgery Recovery video 2
I'm 27 years old now, and the this all happened in Queens, NY. I had my reconstruction done in Nassau, and the surgeon was flown in from Florida. Growing up, this injury affected my hearing more than my speech. My speech was not normal though, I always sounded stuffed and nasal. I was always out of breath, and by 3 in the afternoon I was always exhausted because of the lack of oxygen I was receiving, and the extra work it was taking to get that oxygen. I would often find myself sitting on the couch watching TV at night, physically opening my nostrils to try and get more air. I still didn't realize what an injury I had though. The recovery is still tough. Even though the bruising is gone, I have raccoon eyes that will probably last a couple of months. Check out the youtube video's I was posting during my recovery. Bored in my house, they became numerous. :(
Nasal Wash - Important Tip!!!
I must share with you something that helped me tremendously. I am just annoyed that my surgeon did not mention this to me earlier, because it has absolutely speeded up my recovery. The name of the stuff is made by NeilMed, and it called Sinus Rinse. I had to go to a few places before I found it, but finally got it at Duane Reed. It consists of 50 mixture packets of pH balanced, isotonic solution which you mix with distilled water in the bottle that it comes with. You squirt it up one nostril, and it comes out the other. Then you do the same with the other nostril. The cleansing effect is fantastic. This is something that helped me more than anything else so far. Keeps it clean in there!
Before Pictures
Here are some before pics - hopefully after looks better! More importantly, I hope I can finally breathe like a normal person. I also got a chin implant - ya know, I figured while I was at it - and let me tell you it looks spectacular. (REALLY TIGHT THO) Anyway - I'm going to put up some pics of what I looked like in the hospital - sick stuff.
well i hope that they didn't change your natural look of your nose too much because it is really cute and perky. i could see the chin implant thing, but your nose is pretty and so are u. i'm looking forward to seeing the after pictures. i'll stay tuned.

Bugg Elementary principal Michael Armstrong had a thought after watching his son with an iPad -- what would it mean to his elementary school students if they had iPads as well?His school, located in East Raleigh, had some of Wake County's lowest end-of-grade test scores. About 70 percent of his students were below the poverty level, and many lacked access to computers.But Armstrong launched an initiative to twin technology with learning; with all third graders getting access to iPads starting in the fall of 2011."We gave them to them with the commitment that they would have them for three years," Armstrong said. he turnaround, Armstrong says, has been dramatic. Students use their iPads for research, and fourth graders -- who started receiving iPads this year -- recently took the tablets outside to take pictures of a dry creek as part of their research on a drought.Even in physical education class, Bugg teacher Jessica Hook had an idea about having the students use iPads to make their own exercise videos.
"We really wanted to create videos that the kids could see themselves using," Hook said.Now the students shoot the video, edit it and post it on the Web. They even make their own QR code to access it.
Suddenly a group not accustomed to technology is pretty tech savvy -- and pretty happy to have learned all this." It's actually fun because we get to use the iPad," one student said.

Sunny's Biggest Loser Diary!
Follow Sunny, 16, as she gets healthy on The Biggest Loser! Each week, she'll candidly share her journey with Seventeenthe highs and lows, and everything in between!
By Seventeen Magazine
Week Six!
Hey guys! This week has been really gratifying because I'm starting to see the results of my hard work in the gym. At the start of the week, my trainer re-took my body measurements, and it turns out that I lost some major inches all around. I lost four inches from my thighs, and six inches from my waist since December 2012! No wonder my jeans were falling off!
To celebrate, I decided to go shopping with some friends. In the past shopping had always been a terrible experience for me—I would sit on the sidelines and watch my friends try on beautiful clothes, knowing that nothing would fit me. This time, it was a completely different experience. I had gone down numerous dress sizes and I could try on whatever I wanted, at all my favorite stores. I had a voice recital this week, so I picked out a stunning dress that made me feel beautiful and confident on stage!

|Striving to be a Son of Mary
As a son of Saint Dominic himself, Fr. Philippe was an intimate son of Mary, the love for whom he shared with his sons, the Brothers of Saint John, and anyone else willing to listen. His philosophical inquiry and research, interestingly enough, served this communication. From the age of six, Fr. Philippe read for his uncle, Fr. Dehau, who was going blind. As a novice, on a visit to his uncle, a visit during which he continued a reading of Aristotle, he was given wise counsel: "You must enter deeply into metaphysics, for metaphysics enables us to speak of Mary. You must study metaphysics to be able to speak of Mary, and to communicate her to others."
Indeed, who is Mary? She is a mystery, a mystery of mercy, for she has been enveloped by God...and given to us. "Mary is the masterpiece of God at the Cross. She is the masterpiece of God, of the Father, and the Holy Spirit, for us. The one who is given to us is the Woman, who is one with Jesus crucified. And she who is entirely turned towards Jesus is entirely turned towards us, and is given to each one of us in a unique way. We must receive her. We must ask the Holy Spirit to grant us a divine experience of the heart of Mary, who is our desert."

There's been a lot of talk through the years about the greatest families in wrestling. You hear the names all the time, Hart, Guerrero, McMahon, Windham, so on and so forth. With all the names bandied about there is but one royal family in the business of pro wrestling, my intention with this article is to crown the family that belongs on the top of this list. We all know that WWE has put the McMahon family on top with their list because, well, they run the damn show. It's easy to put yourself up top when you're the one who owns the company. Behind that you have the Hart family. They've very deserving of being toward the top of the list but they aren't the top family in my book.
When you look at the history of the business there is one family that seems to bleed over into the product more than anyone else. That family would be the The Anoaʻi / Maivia clan. You have so many major stars that have come from this gene pool it's completely insane. Not only is The Rock one of the biggest stars in the history of this business but he's gone on to conquer Hollywood as well. He's earned the nickname of "The Franchise Saver" for bringing the Fast and Furious, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and G.I Joe films back into the forefront of the movie industry. He was able to take a 10 year break from the business and STILL come back and be the champ while putting on some very solid matches with C.M. Punk and John Cena, possibly even chasing The Streak next year. There is no denying that The Rock is easily one of the top stars to ever set foot in a professional wrestling ring.
Another bright star from the family is the one and only Rodney Anoa'i, better known to wrestling fans as Yokozuna. This man was literally one of the largest stars in the history of the business. He stood at six feet, four inches tall while weighing in at over 500 pounds. While he was portrayed as Japanese in character he was not, which many people weren't aware of thanks to his being around in that whole pre and early internet wrestling community age. Rodney won the Royal Rumble, the WWE tag team titles, and the WWE championship in his time with the company while crushing, damn near literally, his competition consistently. Unfortunately he passed at a young age, which tends to happen many times with people in pro wrestling, including his only family member Eddie Fatu just a couple years ago.
The future seems bright for this family currently as well, with twins "Jimmy and Jey Uso" working as a tag team and Joe Anoa'i working as Roman Reigns in The Shield. The brothers seem to be a little lost in the shuffle lately, being left out of the title picture for some time now. I would love to see them get a shot to run with the titles someday but it would appear unlikely at the current time. Roman Reigns, on the other hand, seems to be the powerful singles star in The Shield. We'll see how this plays out for him once the actually break up the group, as we all KNOW will happen sooner or later, I'm hoping he's not dropped from the limelight like so many other second and third generation workers have been lately. The one thing that he seems to need to work on the most is his mic skills. While he seems solid enough to get the job done in the ring and clearly has the build and look of a superstar, his speaking just isn't quite up to snuff, especially being so closely related to such a wonderful speaker as The Rock.
There were many people in the Hart, Guerrero, Windham, Henning, and so many others that were big stars in the business of pro wrestling. Those seem to pale in comparison to the achievements of the Anoa'i/Maivia family throughout the time they have spanned in the business. While some would easily push the McMahon family because of WWE being passed down from generation to generation and killing off the prime competition and being really the only business in town. I would put them in the top three and would have difficulty splitting the Guerrero and Hart families from one another for the other spot in the top three, but I would absolutely have to place the Anoa'i/Maivia family on top of the business. When you look back at pro wrestling no other family is bigger, in size or stature, than the Samoan Superstars. What more could you ask for, the patriarch is already a High Chief?

How Neota Logic Applications Work
A typical Neota Logic application, when run interactively in a browser, will:
- Ask questions of the user to collect facts—The interview is intelligent and efficient, driving the selection and sequence of questions by the logic of the application, the answers given to earlier questions and the intermediate conclusion already reached.
- Collect data from other sources—Based on the user's answers to questions, the application may collect data from other sources, such as databases, web services and other Neota Logic applications.
- Apply reasoning to the facts and data—As it collects facts and data, the application will continuously and automatically apply all the types of reasoning necessary to replicate the reasoning of the domain expert.
- Reach conclusions based on the reasoning—By applying reasoning to facts and data, the application, like a human expert, reaches intermediate and final conclusions and can explain why it reached those conclusions.
- Execute actions based on the conclusions—When the application reaches its conclusions, it can perform a variety of actions, including:
- Display an on-screen summary of results.
- Create a detailed, customized report or memo in Word or HTML to be e-mailed or printed.
- Send an e-mail to the user or any other person.
- Update a database or send data to another application.
- Send facts and conclusions to a document assembly program to generate transactional documents.
- Trigger a step in a workflow.
Embedded Applications
When invoked from other software, such as a transactional system or a workflow engine, a Neota Logic application need not necessarily interact with a user on screen. The application can collect necessary facts and data from databases and other sources, then apply reasoning, reach conclusions and execute actions just as it does when run interactively. A single application can function in either or both modes simultaneously.
Data Analysis
As an application is used, questions asked and answers given are written to a database, creating a systematic record of decisions, exercises of discretion and processes that have hitherto been informal, undocumented and difficult to analyze, review and manage.
Data analysis and visualization tools are applied to inform management and counsel about patterns of activity and potential issues or risks.

AMC 2007: Better Homes & Gardens Anointed Ad Age Magazine of the Year
Ad Age editor-in-chief Jonah Bloom (right) and publisher Scott Donaton (third from left) recognize the execs behind magazine of the year winner Better Homes & Gardens.
Despite the magazine world's fixation on moving beyond print (hello, "Magabrand," whatever you are), it was a senior citizen, 85-year-old Seven Sister stalwart Better Homes & Gardens that scooped up magazine of the year honors from Ad Age, awarded tonight at the American Magazine Conference in Boca Raton.
The awards were presented by Ad Age editor-in-chief Jonah Bloom, who in joking reference to the posh Boca Raton resort playing host to AMC this year, joshed that "the journalists among us are always happy to have a place to moor our yachts — I've got the slip next to Keith Kelly."
Ad Age's other honors went to:
Cookie, for launch of the year.
Conde Nast Publications, for media company of the year.
Adam Moss, of New York, for editor of the year (an honor for which, as Bloom put it, "we desperately tried to find someone more deserving" — alluding to Moss's award-laden past two years.

From the Ohio Department of Natural Resources
-- Access to hunt deer is essential to successful deer management. Because 95 percent of Ohio's land base is held in private ownership, access to private property is vital to the success of Ohio's deer management program.
Access to private property is a privilege that cannot be legislated. That's why hunters and landowners work cooperatively to develop positive relationships that facilitate the harvest of deer, specifically does, from private property. To that end, the Ohio Division of Wildlife (DOW) has teamed up with the Ohio Farm Bureau (OFB) to explore the possibility of developing a web-based deer hunter access program.
When using this program, landowners and farmers looking for hunters to help control local deer herds would select hunters from a searchable database based on a set of criteria. For instance, the landowner may be looking for someone with 10+ years of bowhunting experience who is willing to bow hunt only, harvest a doe before a buck, and limit their hunting to weekends only. This search may yield contact information for 25 hunters.
The landowner would select hunters from this list and contact the hunters directly. Hunters who participate would have to agree to a set of rules and regulations governing the use of the land. Hunters unwilling or unable to abide by established guidelines would be removed from the database.
The level of control sought by landowners and farmers in this program is a long way from the time when a handshake and head-nod were all that were needed. A few bad experiences are all it takes to lose the privilege. Hunters and landowners alike still stand to reap the benefits of the past. The difference is hunters must be willing to build a profile of themselves in addition to the handshake. When using the program, interested hunters must be willing to apply for a place to hunt on participating properties. There would be no cost to apply or to hunt.
The purpose of the survey is to assess the willingness of hunters to participate in this program. Hunters are advised they can only submit the survey one time, and to be sure they are ready to submit before ending the program.
Ohio hunters can access the survey at: http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/survey-intro.zgi?p=WEB2292XXP3NFC

Does the Sinclair Method Work?
Origins on the Effectiveness of the Sinclair Method
Contrary to what others may say, we at Origins Recovery Centers are actually not very rigid in our thinking. We do teach 12-step principles with intensity, and we do believe that these principles have saved many, many lives. We do not veer off the course of the original idea and intents behind the 12-step program (hence our name, "Origins"), as we do not believe it benefits the health and well-being of our clients for us to do so.
With that said, however, if a method were discovered tomorrow that was clinically, empirically and anecdotally proven to be superior to the 12-step program, we would change our name and adopt a completely new philosophy. Our business is not about branding or ideology; our business is about helping people get well. We do not adhere to the 12-step program simply to the end of loyalty; we adhere to the program because we believe it works, and much more so than any other method that currently exists.
A Treatment Method that is Hard to Believe
It may not come as a surprise that Origins Recovery Centers does not condone the Sinclair Method. However, it is not simply because the method does not incorporate a 12-step approach, or because it is not an abstinence-model of recovery. In fact, it's quite the opposite. The Sinclair Method requires you to drink in order to be effective. Proponents of this method would have you believe that, over time, your use of alcohol will diminish until your level of drinking has reached normal to below normal amounts. We oppose this method because it simply does not work.
However, we will admit that on the outset, we were quite intrigued at the prospect this method presented. While we love the lives we are afforded by the 12-step program, it would be wonderful to have that and also be transformed to a point where we could once again drink like normal people. That would be excellent, in fact.
We at Origins Recovery Centers are not so entrenched with our own beliefs that we are unable or unwilling to consider those of those. Furthermore, we are very open about the fact that we have "no monopoly on recovery", as it is mentioned in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. For these reason, we did examine the information available on the Sinclair Method, casting aside any contempt prior to our research. We have thoroughly examined the efficacy of this approach, and we have determined that, well, the method is just entirely too problematic, and it is based upon a distorted view of what alcoholism is. In our process, we recognized that our dissection of this method and why it cannot work, is a great tool for teaching precisely what alcoholism is.
What is the Sinclair Method?
The Sinclair Method is a treatment for alcoholism which is gaining some degree of popularity, likely due to the increasing number of people who look online for health information. It is not a new concept, in fact most of the research on the Sinclair Method was conducted in the 1980s. It is named for the researcher who developed it and who helped the method gain prominence, primarily in Europe. The premise of the method is very simple, which probably is part of the appeal.
A Bit of Background
The Sinclair Method involves the ingestion of an opiate antagonist — Naltroxene, in most cases — prior to drinking alcohol. Opiate antagonists, like Naltroxene, are used to block the action of synthetic opiods like heroin, opium, oxycodone, and so on within the body. That way, if a person were to ingest both substances (i.e. Naltroxene and Heroin) the opiod would be rendered useless in terms of the analgesic and euphoric effects. Opiate antagonists also work on edogenous morphine or "endorphins", which are released when someone drinks. Endorphins are, in part, responsible for the feeling of euphoria associated with alcohol ingestion. Theoretically, a person who drinks alcohol while on this medication will not experience the same chemically-fulfilling experience as a person who drinks without it.
The Theory Behind the Sinclair Method
From this point, the Sinclair Method appeals to the theory of Pavlovian conditioning referred to as "extinction" or, more specifically, "pharmacological extinction". Overtime, the alcoholic becomes conditioned to no longer obsess or crave alcohol because his or her neurochemistry is now set to believe that the ingestion of alcohol leads to no great euphoric benefit. Without the reward of euphoria, the alcoholic should no longer crave alcohol. As long as the alcoholic takes Naltroxene, the addiction patterns of the alcoholic will wane and eventually dissipate to the point where they no longer drink to a dangerous degree — or even at all.
A Critical Analysis of the Sinclair Method
The problem with the Sinclair Method is that it is based upon the assumption that alcoholism is purely a physical affliction, and it can be treated by changing addictive brain chemistry. We will expound upon why this is incorrect later. However, for now, we will simply assume that this basis is valid so that we may touch upon other issues with the Sinclair Method that exists even if the method rested upon solid assumptions (which, again, it does not).
The Issue of Desire or Willpower
Will an Alcoholic Take a Medication Which Reduces the Effects of Alcohol?
It seems impractical, to believe that an alcoholic — who is addicted to the feeling afforded by alcohol consumption — would be able to continually take a medication that prevents the feeling they crave? In other words, why should we assume that an alcoholic would or could voluntarily comply with the proper medication regimen required of the Sinclair Method? Ask an addiction medicine specialist who has routinely prescribed Antabuse (a medication that creates an unpleasant reaction when taken with alcohol) what the biggest issue with Antabuse is. More often than not, the specialist will cite the failure of patients to comply with the dosing schedule. Patients complain, "I get sick when I take my Antabuse and drink. So, I decided not to take it."
This fault seems intuitively obvious to us. Taking a alcoholic who is addicted to feeling produced while drinking alcohol, then asking them to take a medication that will block that feeling sounds absurd. If they can manage that much, why do they not just stop drinking altogether? That way they would not have to deal with the cost of alcohol, or the toll it takes on their body, or the hangovers, and so on. Alcoholics will not stop drinking for the reasons they will not be able to comply with Naltroxene, or a similar drug: they are addicted, and by definition, they are unable to neglect themselves of the feelings they are addicted to.
The Issue of Regular Dosage and Up-Regulation
Will an Alcoholic Take the Medication as Directed?
Let us ignore this previous point and continue down this path supposing that, miraculously, a person who has lost all power, choice and control over their drinking can convince themselves to regularly ingest a medication that diminishes the joys of drinking. Can we reasonably expect such a person to ALWAYS take their medication as directed? Surely not.
The Dangers of Up-Regulation
What is even more problematic is the well-documented phenomena, known as up-regulation, that occurs within one's brain when there is a large presence of opiod antagonists. Up-regulation is a natural response by the brain when it is being flooded by opiod antagonists, like Natroxene. After sensing an increase of opiod antagonists, the brain will make cells more responsive to the stimuli (Natroxene, in this case) by increasing the amount of opiod receptors. This is a way for the brain to maintain normalcy.
In the presence of Natroxene, an increase in opiod receptor is not a problem. However, if a person practicing the Sinclair Method misses even one dose of Natroxene and proceeds to drink, that person will be drinking with a brain which is now hyper-sensitive to the effects of alcohol. The alcoholic will likely engage in binge-drinking, and potentially forego the Sinclair Method entirely now that their brain has once again experienced the pleasurable effects of alcohol sans Naltroxene. Plus, the experience will be more intense than the addict had ever experienced before due to the increase in opoid receptors in his or her brain.
Evidence of this phenomena has been observed in those practicing the Sinclair Method. In fact, the greatest proponents of the Sinclair Method even caution against ever missing even one dose. Is this realistic? We believe the answer is obvious, but again, let us continue with this thinking and find where else it can lead us. Suppose an alcoholic could adhere to taking Naltroxene regularly, without fail, for the rest of time. What possible other consequences could this method hold?
Substituting Addictions
Will an Alcoholic Search for a New High?
An alcoholic substituting an old addiction with a new addiction is not a new concept. And this concept is particularly likely when employing the Sinclair Method, which really does not address the true issues of alcoholism (but, more about that later).
Once an alcoholic has chemically reduced the effects of alcohol on their brain, there is a high chance that the alcoholic will find a new drug of choice that will mimic the effects. For instance, while opiods would not work (due to the opiate antagonist medication), barbiturates (e.g. Phenobarbital) and benzodiazepines (e.g. Xanax) are commonly known to offer the same euphoric effects as alcohol. The dangers of this switch are great. Barbiturates are known to be some of the easiest substances to overdose on (relative to alcohol). Not to mention, severe barbiturate and benzodiazepine addictions entail even worse withdrawal symptoms than that of alcohol. For this reason, the Sinclair Method seems to be a poor treatment method since it opens up an incentive for the alcoholic to self-medicate through other sources.
The Issue of Urgency
Should an Alcoholic Continue to Poison the Body with Alcohol? Will They Survive It?
We have yet to touch on this point yet, since it seems to be such an obvious argument against the Sinclair Method that is almost goes without saying, but it still needs to be mentioned. A large percentage of alcoholics are unable to admit they have a problem at all until it is absolutely and undeniably glaring. Sometimes the problem reveals itself after the 3rd DWI; sometimes the problem reveals itself when an alcoholic loses their job because of their addiction; sometimes the problem reveals itself after the alcoholic experiences liver or other organ failure caused by excessive alcohol consumption.
Do we really want this type of person experimenting with their neurochemistry over the course of several months in attempt to induce pharmacological extinction? Are we sure this type of person has the strength to continue to poison their bodies to death while they wait for the Naltroxene to work? They very well may not have that long.
The Sinclair Method Simply Does Not Work
The point we are really trying to drive home in this article is that the Sinclair Method, even when assuming its faulty logic to be correct, is still quite problematic. Even if alcoholism is simply a physical affliction of unfortunate brain chemistry, it still seems highly unlikely that this method will be successful for any significant percentage of recovering alcoholics. Is it logical to think a true alcoholic will regularly take this medication without fail? Is an bender brought about by up-regulation worth the risk? Is it not likely that the alcoholic will not turn to other drugs to get high? Is jeopardizing their physical health worth it?
What is Alcoholism?
The true fact of the matter, however, is that alcoholism is not simply a physical affliction. Obviously, there is that component of physical affliction. The body of an alcoholic does, in fact, experience a craving once alcohol has been consumed. And this physical craving does cause the alcoholic to lose control over the amount of alcohol they intake.
However, the physical affliction is just one piece of a complex puzzle. Plus, as we have demonstrated, it is unlikely that the Sinclair Method even addresses the physical aspect, although proponents claim it does.
Alcoholism is often referred to as a "bio-psycho-social" affliction which attempts to indicate that it is a disease of the body, mind and spirit. The alcoholic has a mind that obsesses over alcohol constantly whenever the alcoholic is still in active addiction but is not physically drinking, a body that craves it once the substance has been introduced to the body and a spiritual malady that promotes substantial "inward unmanageability," the symptoms of which are restlessness, irritability and discontentedness, which will always work toward getting the alcoholic to anesthetize these feelings with alcohol.
It's this third component of alcoholism – the spiritual malady – that really defines why the Sinclair Method ultimately fails. While we don't believe the following to be actually true, for the sake of discussion, we will concede that if the Sinclair Method did in fact remedy the physical aspect of alcoholism, then it could logically also eliminate the mental obsession. Again, this is the unproven theory behind the method, but if craving could be lessened and the mind taught to believe alcohol did not posses euphoric traits, then conceivably over time the mental obsession around alcohol would also lessen.
Unfortunately, that still leaves the most prominent and troublesome component of alcoholism – the spiritual component – and no amount of Naltroxene is going to remedy substantial and personally handicapping long-term inward unmanageability so severe it can really only be aptly described as a malady that is spiritual in nature. The only thing that has ever been observed to relieve such an ailment, and this was stated in no uncertain terms by the preeminent Carl Jung, is a truly transformative spiritual experience which is precisely what a properly executed 12-step program will recreate and precisely what a lot of Naltroxene and booze will completely neglect.
Has it Been Successful?
Yes, there are stories of "success" popping up on the internet of Sinclair Method individuals being "cured" of alcoholism. There is little clinical evidence of this, but rather a fair number of blog postings and videos on YouTube. We'd like to first suggest that most likely those individuals whom were supposedly "cured" by Sinclair Method intervention were possibly not true alcoholics in the first place; perhaps just really heavy drinkers.
And of those who have had supposed success who are in fact true alcoholics, we would contend that they aren't "recovered" in the sense a person in long-term sobriety living the 12-step way of life are, but rather these Sinclair "success" stories are really the equivalent of what we call "dry drunks" or they are "white knuckling" it as we put it.
You see, alcoholics who can forcefully separate themselves from alcohol absent a spiritual solution, while rare, aren't in fact unheard of. These poor souls take the brute-force method of recovery (which is not recovery at all but really deprivation) and the term "white knuckling" refers to the lack of blood in their knuckles as they clench a chair and greet their teeth fighting off the urge to drink.
Anyone who has been in the recovery community long enough has observed individuals like this; those alcoholics who don't find solution through the spiritual experience afforded by the 12-steps and in fact just physically separate themselves from alcohol and live painfully through the spiritual malady or "bedevilments" that still remains in full-force constantly compelling the "dry drunk" to want to self-medicate. This is what the Sinclair Method alcoholics have done, in effect. While they haven't separated themselves from alcohol like the dry drunk has, they have separated themselves form the euphoric effects of alcohol that act to temporarily alleviate the spiritual malady, which to us is in effect the same thing.
If there's any question as to the veracity of our point here, please just look to the Sinclair Method drunks themselves. They seem to really like to post on the internet and most of the time they're not delivering experience, strength and hope of an inspirational nature like that of many 12-step enthusiasts in long-term sobriety. No, most of them are besmirching 12-step fellowships as evil and weak-minded, in addition to a bunch of other poison they are spreading. We have even seen a few by one gentleman who self-designates as a doctor of some sort and his video which is supposed to be in support of the Sinclair Method is actually just him chain-smoking, drinking beer and slurring an ugly cacophony of nonsensical hate of various types. But really, can you blame him? He's slurping down booze that no longer works.
To Conclude
Yes, it is a novel concept and theoretically quite attractive, but upon further review we find that this level of attraction is quite speciously so. The Sinclair Method represents just another easier, softer way, as referenced in the Big Book, that the alcoholic uses to try and control his drinking rather than looking to a spiritual solution to cease drinking altogether.
We would encourage anyone who has either experimented with the Sinclair Method or thinking about it to contact us as 888-U-GET-WELL or by clicking the contact button below.

Technology may help agencies stem the tide of waste, fraud and abuse, but sometimes new tools just aren't enough, according to some experts.
"Technology in terms of transparency is there, and we need to use it," said Earl Devaney, former chairman of the Recovery Board. "Quite frankly, some of the ideas floating around now that I read about poolside don't talk a lot about transparency – it's almost like the word has gone away. [There's] a lot of talk around technology to cure the accountability piece, but the transparency piece has been sort of missing."
Newer technologies such as cloud computing, mobile devices and geospatial services have brought new meaning to transparency, Devaney noted at a Sept. 6 breakfast briefing titled "The Watchful Eye: Preventing Waste, Fraud and Abuse," organized by FedInsider. Data can be quickly displayed and quality controlled, as seen with Recovery.gov, he said. The website created what he said were unparalleled levels of transparency, with technology that allowed citizens to add their zip codes to drill down to their own neighborhoods and see where their tax dollars went, he said.
The Treasury Department's Do Not Pay List -- a centralized repository that pulls data from five different sources -- was created in response to the 2010 presidential memorandum that directed agencies to enhance payment accuracy. The Do Not Pay Business Center within Treasury's Bureau of the Public Debt was created a year later as part of the same initiative to prevent, reduce and stop improper payments, as well as identify and mitigate fraud, waste and abuse.
The center's goal over the next 18 months is to expand the number of federal agencies using Do Not Pay, from 17 to 24, said Tom Vannoy, Do Not Pay program manager at the Bureau of the Public Debt. "That's not a stretch by any means over the next 12 to 18 months, but a goal we feel we can meet fairly shortly," he said.
Vannoy's office is also looking to increase the data sources available on the Do Not Pay online portal, which underwent a makeover in June 2012 to provide new features such as batch matching and continuous monitoring. The idea is to go from eight data sources to 14, and add high value to the greatest number of users, Vannoy said.
Continuous monitoring "adds a twist on the batch-matching process," he said. For example, one agency regularly sends its list of beneficiaries or pension recipients to the Do Not Pay Business Center, which then matches the information against the various data sources to determine whether an individual is deceased. Depending on the information from the data sources, a payment can then either be stopped or continued.
"We're trying to get that [information] in front of all the newspaper stories that come out regularly where we've been paying someone for 25 years because the son or the daughter accessed the account and kept the money coming and never reported it," Vannoy said.
Citing a study by the Association of Government Accountants that examined the use of analytics governmentwide, fellow panelist Kevin Greer, executive director at Accenture's Federal Finance & Performance Management Practice, said improper payments comprise only a small percentage of all payments; 95 percent of all payments are accurate. "It's the 5 percent that add up to a significant large number," Greer said. However, not all improper payments are fraudulent. Some are made in error, and some simply lack the documentation that would support the validity of the transaction.
Agencies are more focused on recovering improper payments than preventing them, but the success rate for recovery is only about 10 percent, he said. "So the pay-and-chase model is particularly challenging," Greer said.
Most improper payments occur in eligibility programs where agencies such as the Social Security Administration are paying large amounts to members of the public on a regular basis as part of particular programs. SSA, for example, pays out $8 million per month to Social Security recipients, and an estimated 10 percent are improper payments. Unreported earnings make up most of the fraudulent claims.
Resolving improper payments is difficult, partly because it's challenging to reconcile information prior to payment. Another factor to consider is that data is dispersed from various agencies and siloed systems, Greer said.
Although agencies may have the latest and the best technology at their disposal, they are still fighting an uphill battle, Greer noted.
"We actually think the problem is getting worse, because the quantity of data seems to be increasing and the quality continues to be bad," he said. "Data is also becoming decentralized in many organizations; legacy systems and processes aren't integrated or talking to one another. Also, fraud is becoming more and more sophisticated; [criminals are] learning the business rules, and they know how to work around those."

Insightful article, but isn't it 'interesting' that Recovery.gov was built to be transparent, showing citizens where the money was spent, but the Do Not Pay Site explicitly states:
8. Can individuals not associated with a government agency access Do Not Pay?
No, only individuals associated with a government agency will be able to enroll in the Do Not Pay Business Center.
I would suggest that if an entity is 'unsafe' for the federal gov to pay, then it's probably not a healthy partner for private industry either.
By keeping this information behind yet another closed door, the Gov is missing an opportunity to reduce the costs to businesses, and failing to provide transparent services and APIs for public data.

About RBC > Corporate Profile > Basel II Disclosures
Basel II is an international accord on capital requirements that applies to banking institutions in various countries including Canada, United States of America and the United Kingdom (UK). It is intended to strengthen the measurement and monitoring of financial institutions' capital by adopting a more risk sensitive approach to capital management. The EU implemented the Basel II framework through the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD).
The Basel II framework is comprised of three complementary pillars:
Pillar 1 establishes rules for the calculation of minimum capital for Credit, Market and Operational Risk (capital adequacy requirements).
Pillar 2 is an internal discipline to evaluate the adequacy of the regulatory capital requirement under Pillar 1 and other non Pillar 1 risks. This pillar requires the competent authority to undertake a supervisory review to assess the robustness of the regulated entity's internal assessment (supervisory review).
Pillar 3 complements the other pillars and effects market discipline through public disclosure. Expanded disclosure about capital and risk enables interested parties to better understand the risk profile of individual banks and companies and to make comparisons (market discipline).
RBC Finance BV group (BV Group) was a UK consolidated group until 28 November 2012 subject to consolidated supervision by the Financial Services Authority (FSA). The material entities consolidated within the BV Group were RBC Europe Limited (RBCEL a UK bank authorised and regulated by the FSA) and the Royal Bank of Canada Channel Islands Limited (RBCCIL a Guernsey regulated bank).
As part of the reorganisation of the RBC European corporate structure, BV Group transferred 100% of its interest in RBCEL to Royal Bank of Canada on 29 November 2012. As a result, RBCEL became a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Royal Bank of Canada, and is no longer a part of the BV Group. Meanwhile BV Group also ceased to be supervised by the since that date.
On 1 April 2013, the FSA was abolished and the majority of its functions transferred to two new regulators: the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA). As a result, RBCEL is now authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority.
The below disclosures are as of 31 October 2012, when RBCEL was still part of the FSA regulated BV Group. These disclosures are published on our website as a condition of the FSA Pillar 3 waiver which had been granted to the BV group and RBCEL and fulfils the requirement for publishing consolidated Pillar 3 disclosures for the BV Group. The disclosures are in accordance with the requirements of the FSA Prudential Sourcebook for Banks, Building Societies and Investment Firms, BIPRU 11 (Pillar 3).
The Capital Adequacy Reports (FSA003) and the Credit Risk disclosures detail the composition and amount of Capital Resources (CR) and also provide the analysis of the credit, market and operational risk, Capital Resources Requirements (CRR).

AngioDynamics Awarded $16.5 Million Judgment In Case Against Biolitec Inc.
ALBANY, N.Y., Oct. 4, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AngioDynamics (Nasdaq:ANGO), a leading provider of innovative, minimally invasive medical devices for vascular access, surgery, peripheral vascular disease and oncology, today announced a recent court action in its legal case against biolitec Inc.
On September 28, 2012, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York entered a judgment awarding AngioDynamics $16.5 million in partial damages as a result of biolitec's breach of a binding agreement.
The Court's ruling stems from legal action initiated by AngioDynamics in January 2008 seeking to enforce the defense and indemnification provisions of its April 1, 2002, Supply and Distribution Agreement with biolitec. The Agreement obligated biolitec to defend and indemnify AngioDynamics against patent infringement claims by third parties arising out of the use of laser vein ablation products supplied by biolitec. The Court's order affirms biolitec should have defended and indemnified AngioDynamics against claims asserted by Diomed and VNUS Medical Technologies, but did not. The Court's partial judgment awards AngioDynamics the costs of its $7 million settlement with Diomed in April 2008, $6.8 million settlement with VNUS Medical Technologies in June 2008 and legal fees associated with the two cases. The Court also denied biolitec's motions to certify an interlocutory appeal and to reopen discovery.The September 28, 2012, court action follows the Court's September 27, 2011, action granting key portions of AngioDynamics motion for summary judgment in the case. In a separate legal proceeding, AngioDynamics is pursuing an action in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against biolitec AG (BIB.DE), Biomed Technology Holdings Ltd., and Wolfgang Neuberger to recover against biolitec AG and its CEO for tortiously interfering with biolitec Inc.'s contractual obligations, to pierce biolitec Inc.'s corporate veil, and to invalidate certain alleged fraudulent transfers between biolitec Inc. and related corporate entities On September 13, 2012, the Massachusetts Court granted AngioDynamics' request for a preliminary injunction prohibiting the defendants from alienating or transferring assets, other than in the ordinary course of business, for the duration of the litigation.

Time Out ChicagoŌĆÖs Pre-April FoolŌĆÖs Joke Burns CrainŌĆÖs
Magazine announces fake sale to Donald Trump in press release.
A fake press release distributed this week by Time Out ChicagoŌĆöin which the magazine announced it had been acquired by Donald TrumpŌĆöwas picked up by CrainŌĆÖs Chicago Business.
In the release, dated March 25, Time Out Chicago stated that the real estate mogul had purchased a controlling interest in the magazine, and the magazineŌĆÖs logo would be modified to include a ŌĆ£signature glitzy T that adorns TrumpŌĆÖs properties.ŌĆØ
The ŌĆ£TŌĆØ was included on the cover of the magazineŌĆÖs current March 27-April 2 issue. CrainŌĆÖs posted the story as fact on its Web site under the headline ŌĆ£Time Out Chicago gets Trumped.ŌĆØ Time Out contacted CrainŌĆÖs, and the story was removed a few hours later. (Click here to see the cached version.)
CrainŌĆÖs ran a story the next day admitting it had been ŌĆ£punked.ŌĆØ
Time Out issued a follow-up press release acknowledging the joke. ŌĆ£My first reaction was to laugh out loud, immediately followed by ŌĆśuh-oh,ŌĆÖŌĆØ said TOC marketing director Tony Barnett. ŌĆ£We were really excited to get the joke out there. I thought the local media would get a good laugh, and didnŌĆÖt think anyone would take the piece and press release seriously.ŌĆØ
It appears that CrainŌĆÖs even included the statement by Trump in the Time Out release which, presumably, should have given away the gag: ŌĆ£I am hugely excited about what is a truly huge opportunity for Trump Entertainment and an even huger opportunity for the people of Chicago.ŌĆØ

Positive thinkers transcend, grow and flow. Sky's the limit for them.
Thoughts created are expressions of core qualities of what makes life great. Learning how to direct the mind to something more profound is a practice that all can do. Just visualize how wonderful this world would be if each one of us collectively creates thoughts based on peace, purity and love. It is natural for every soul to quest what's innate and original. Amidst diversity, this is similar to each one of us regardless of age, gender, color, race, and creed.
As you marvel through life to contribute fragrance from within, the natural rhythm of living, learning and sharing streams all over the world.
