Source: pituitary adenoma or, occasionally, hyperplasia. Cushing's disease accounts for approximately 70 percent of the spontaneous adult cases of Cushing's syndrome.
The standard treatment of Cushing's disease is surgical removal of the pituitary adenoma via a transsphenoidal approach. This procedure cures about three-quarters of patients. Those who continue to have symptoms of Cushing's disease - which include centripetal obesity, menstrual changes, hirsutism, cutaneous atrophy, muscle weakness, depression and hypertension- have several options to choose from to cure the disease. Options include a second operation to remove the pituitary adenoma, an operation to remove both adrenal glands, or medical therapy. A fourth option is radiation treatments to the pituitary gland which functions to destroy the disease-causing adenoma.
Radiation therapy after unsuccessfully pituitary surgery in Cushing's disease is often recommended, but its efficacy is unknown. An article in the New England Journal of Medicine from Spain documents 30 patients who underwent radiotherapy of the pituitary gland after unsuccessful microsurgery. Patients received a median dose of 50Gy and were followed every six months with physical exam and laboratory data of pituitary and adrenal function. Remission was defined as the absence of signs and symptoms of Cushing's syndrome, normal urinary cortisol excretion, and low plasma cortisol levels after the administration of dexamethasone. Median follow-up was three and one-half years. 83% of the patients had remissions, most occurring within two years from the radiotherapy. None of the 25 patients who were in remission experienced a relapse. Complications from radiotherapy included low levels of pituitary hormones including growth hormone, gonadotropins, thyrotropin and corticotropin. The authors conclude that irradiation is a safe and effective treatment of Cushing's disease after unsuccessful pituitary surgery.

I downloaded FLAC and I'm having trouble playing it back. Any advice?
I downloaded FLAC (or MP3 or Ogg...) but I really wanted MP3 (or FLAC or Ogg...).
I can't find my download on my computer. Help!
My download got to 42% complete (or 13% or 84% or...) and then just stopped. What should I do?
My download is taking forever. Suggestions?
I submitted my email address for a download, but it hasn't arrived.
I'm using a download code and getting a message saying it's invalid or has already been redeemed.
My download says it's expired. What now?
I still need some help. Help me?
Which format should I download?
The default download format is MP3, and this is probably what you want. These files play back beautifully in iTunes, Windows Media Player, your iPhone/Android phone, etc. and include high quality cover art, accurate artist and track names, and lyrics when available. Our MP3s use variable bit-rate encoding (VBR) to shrink the size of the files while maintaining the highest quality, so you get fast downloads and can fit more cool island songs on your iPhone.
If you have an older MP3 player that doesn't like VBR files (consider visiting a Radio Shack this century, bub), try the MP3 320 format instead. These files are larger but they sound just as good and have all the same metadata, and will work on any MP3 player.
You can also download in FLAC, ALAC (Apple Lossless), AAC, or Ogg Vorbis format. These options are, as we say in the interface, for "audiophiles and nerds." If you aspire to become either, this isn't a bad place to start.
I heard that you support high-definition downloads. Is that true?
It sure is! Most bands upload their music to Bandcamp in CD quality (that is, a 44.1KHz sample rate with 16 bits per sample), but they have the option of uploading their music in 24-bit and at high sample rates. You can download these tracks in all their high-definition glory, but only if you download in the right file format.
FLAC is the best option for high-definition downloads. It's a lossless format, and it supports 24-bit samples and the full range of sample rates that we support, so the audio you download is identical to the audio that left the artist's studio.
ALAC (Apple Lossless) is also a lossless format, but we don't currently support 24-bit samples or sample rates beyond 48KHz, so you won't get the full high-definition experience.
Ogg Vorbis is a lossy format, but it does support high sample rates up to 96KHz. If you want high-definition without the crazy-big file size of FLAC, this is the way to go.
For other formats (MP3 and AAC) we convert the high-definition audio down to regular CD quality before encoding.
How do I unzip my album download?
When you download an album from Bandcamp, it arrives on your computer in a compressed format called zip. Before you can add the music to your library and listen to it, you'll need to decompress, or "unzip" it. Doing so is very easy:
If you're on a Mac, double-click the file. You're done.
If you're on a PC, right-click the file and choose Extract All... You're also done. Don't see an "Extract All..." option? Try renaming the file to something simple, like "music.zip". The important thing is to make sure the name ends with ".zip". Then right-click it again. You should now see "Extract All..." in the menu. If you still don't see an Extract All... option, double-click the file. This will open a window listing the files inside. Press Ctrl+A to select all the files, then drag them into a folder or onto your desktop. This will extract them, for sure. What!? That doesn't work either? You may be amongst the elite few who simply don't have unzipping software built in to their PC. Easy to rectify: just go here and get it.
I downloaded music from Bandcamp, now how do I get it into iTunes or Windows Media Player?
To add music to iTunes, just launch iTunes and choose File > Add To Library.
To add music to Windows Media Player, you can either: a) select the audio files, then right click them and choose "Add to Windows Media Player List", or b) drag and drop the audio files onto the Windows Media Player window (if that doesn't work, try the drag/drop operation again, but make sure the Library tab is active in Windows Media Player first).
How do I download an album straight to my Android device?
Go and check out the Downloading on Android page.
When I try to unzip my album, I get an error message. or
When I try to unzip my album, I get a message saying the zip file is empty. or
When I try to unzip my album, I'm prompted to enter a password.
All of these errors indicate the same thing: that the downloaded file is incomplete, probably due to a hiccup in your internet connection. The solution is to try downloading the album again (if you paid for the album, click the link in your receipt from Bandcamp). Album downloads can be pretty large, so if you're on wireless you should definitely try plugging directly in. You can verify that your download is complete by right-clicking it and selecting Properties (or if you're on a Mac, by clicking it and choosing File>Get Info). The size should match the file size indicated on the download page on Bandcamp.
I downloaded FLAC and I'm having trouble playing it back. Any advice?
iTunes does not support FLAC, but you knew that already, right? Good. The second most common cause of problems with FLAC files is having outdated software. Before pulling your hair out, check online, get the latest version and try again. If that doesn't work try another FLAC program. We personally use VLC for playback and the command line flac tools for converting to WAV.
The source of the problem is that a lot of older software can't handle FLACs with sample sizes greater than 16 bits or sample rates higher than 44.1kHz. We encourage artists to upload the highest quality sources they can get their hands on, and more and more tracks are 24-bit/96kHz (what a great world we live in). On unsupported software these FLACs sound wrecked by static, or superloud, or they just won't play at all. Some albums have a mix of 16- and 24-bit audio which explains why you might be able to play some tracks but not others.
The bottom line is that FLAC is great and we can't wait for the day when our 24-bit Beatles FLACs sail seamlessly into our Bandcamp Limited Edition iPods, but we're not there yet. Software support for FLAC is still iffy, especially for the newer high quality formats.
I downloaded FLAC (or MP3 or Ogg...) but I really wanted MP3 (or FLAC or Ogg...).
No problem: just click on the link in your receipt email, choose the format you really did want by clicking the link next to "format", and after making your selection click Download.
I can't find my download on my computer. Help!
If you're using Windows, start by looking in your My Downloads and My Music folders. If your download isn't there, please try your download again (if it was a paid download, you'll find a link to retry it in the receipt that we emailed you). However, when you click download this time: 1) click Save (not Open) in the dialog that appears, and 2) in the subsequent dialog, choose a location for the file, but remember to note which folder you're saving to.
My download got to 42% complete (or 13% or 84% or...) and then just stopped. What should I do? or,
My download is taking forever. Suggestions?
Go ahead and stop the download, then try clicking the link in the email receipt from Bandcamp again (and if you're on wireless try plugging directly in). If the download stops again, or the speed is still slow, try another connection if available -- some ISPs throttle the speed of large downloads, and the album downloads from Bandcamp (particularly the lossless formats) can be downright huge. If you purchased one of the larger formats like FLAC or ALAC and would like to try the download in a more compact, but still high-quality format like MP3, just click on the link in your receipt email and select a different format.
I submitted my email address for a download, but it hasn't arrived.
We've definitely sent the email. Unfortunately, many things can happen once it leaves our servers, so if you haven't received it yet and it's not in your spam folder, we suggest trying again. If that still doesn't get it, try entering a different email address.
I pre-ordered an album, and it's now been released, but I still haven't received my link to the full download.
First, please double-check that the email isn't sitting in your spam folder. Next, look for the original receipt for your pre-order -- the link in that email can be used to get the full album. If you're still out of luck, please contact us.
I'm using a download code and getting a message saying it's invalid or has already been redeemed.
Send an email to customer support. Please include your 8 character download code in the message (e.g., "9r8d-ejxb"), as well as the link to the page where you attempted to redeem the code.
My download says it's expired. What now?
Click here to send an email to customer support. Please include the old download link or, if you don't have that, a link to the track or album page.
I still need some help. Help me?
No problem, just send an email to customer support.

BROOME COUNTY, N.Y. -- A Broome County woman currently serving a 15 year to life sentence for murder will get a new trial.
Ashley Carnevale and her husband were accused of breaking into a Kirkwood home to steal prescription drugs back in 2009. During that robbery attempt, police said Anthony Carnevale shot and killed one person and wounded another. Ashley Carnevale was found guilty of two counts each of second-degree murder, assault, attempted assault and attempted robbery. The conviction was appealed, and the state appellate division has now awarded Carnevale a new trial. They say she was deprived of meaningful representation. No new trial date has been set.

Traffic tie-ups can't always be prevented. But with Garmin's GTM 20, they can often be avoided.
The GTM 20 is an integrated FM-band receiver, antenna, and cigarette lighter adapter that provides real-time Traffic Message Channel (TMC) data to compatible Garmin GPS navigation productswhich then depict and identify problem areas on their moving-map displays. Available in a fast-growing number of cities throughout North America and Europe, this TMC data gives prompt, accurate notification of accidents, road construction, police, or emergency action, etc.so drivers can visually monitor traffic flow and, if necessary, select an alternate route.
The TMC traffic alerting system works on an FM sideband signal which utilizes RDS (Radio Data Service) technology. Digitized and coded real-time traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channelwhich means that drivers can still listen to music or news programming on their car radios, without interference from the incoming FM traffic data transmissions. In most areas, depending on the service provider, TMC traffic broadcasts are continuousthere's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. With the GTM 20, you see traffic developments in real-time, as they happen, so you can make the right decision sooner. The system will alert you when a traffic problem is on your route and propose an alternate route to avoid the incident.
Unlike the GTM 10 and 11, the GTM 20 is an all-in-one antenna, traffic receiver, and 12-volt cigarette adapter.

Dual-surface Elevate II Adjusta is the ultimate standing desk with complete adjustability. Push a button to electrically move the front and back worksurfaces simultaneously. Then squeeze a lever to position the front keyboard surface exactly where you want it, 6" below to 7" above the back surface. Available in two finishes and widths (48" and 60"), Elevate II Adjusta fits your space and hardware.
The dual-surface Adjusta provides even more adjustability than Elevate II Single Surface. Push the button to electrically move both worksurfaces up and down (28"- 47" high). Then squeeze the lever on the front worksurface to position the keyboard right where you need it (from 6" below to 7" above the back worksurface).
A spacious keyboard shelf runs the full width of the desk so there's room for two keyboards or a laptop and keyboard. Position the front shelf manually from 6" below to 7" above the back monitor surface. Loosen knobs under the keyboard surface to adjust the tilt (9°positive to 15°negative). Keyboard shelf holds up to 40 lbs.
Elevate II Adjusta lifts 150 lbs. on strong electric legs that move the desk and all your equipment at the push of a button. The legs move at 1.5"/second to move quickly and quietly into position when you push the button.
Choose from two types of worksurface finishes. Basic tables (shown on top) have rigid high-pressure laminate with vinyl edge banding to cushion edges in high-traffic areas. Plus tables (shown on bottom) have contoured laminate with smooth edges that are comfortable against your arms when typing. Available in 48" and 60" wide.
Use Elevate II Adjusta's tilt-and-go rear wheels to move the desk and access the back of your equipment or rearrange your space. Simply lower the back surface all the way down and raise the front keyboard surface to maximum height. Then tilt the desk by lifting the front keyboard shelf and roll it on the rear wheels.
Worried about equipment staying plugged in when you raise and lower the desk? Not a problem! Simply route cords and cables into the cable management tray then plug cables into a Power Bar or Surge Protector (sold separately). Your equipment stays connected through the table's entire range of motion.
Make your workspace your own: customize Elevate II Adjusta with your choice of options. Add a CPU SideRack to move your computer up and down with the table, a monitor arm to put your display where you want it, and a footrest for comfort. The Companion Table gives you a bit more room to spread out.

Do you love elements? Do you also love superheros? Perfect! We have got the shirt for you. This awesomely ingenious tee lays out a listing of popular -- and maybe some less popular -- superheroes matched up with the symbols of the elements listed in the periodic table. "Am" stands for Americium? No! Wrong! It stands for Aquaman! You think "W" is Tungsten??? Incorrect! And the actinide and lanthanide series are all supervillains. Why? Because they're radioactive? Well, you're almost right. Perhaps it's because they're unstable? *wink*
100% cotton charcoal colored t-shirt with a periodic table with DC comics superheroes printed in the front.

In her article "The Stylistic Effects of Human Rights Rhetoric: An Analysis of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's 2011 LGBT Human Rights Speech," Midiri analyzes the historic international gay rights speech Clinton delivered in Switzerland to the United Nations in December 2011.
"Rhetorical style is relevant in public discussions where arguments could influence subsequent policy decisions," says Midiri. "I'm in love with Clinton's speech. I think it's a well-crafted speech, but in my article, I'm critical of it."
In her speech, Clinton talks about the work required to protect LGBT people whose human rights are still denied in many parts of the world today.
"In this speech, Clinton is speaking to American legislators, U.N. representatives, and lawmakers in Uganda, where virtually no legal protections are offered to LGBT people," Midiri says. "Her message is clear, but I think in her speech, there's a distinct separation between the LGBT community and those who are in power. It's delivered in a way that maintains that the LGBT community is voiceless or that it is segregated from the greater community."
Midiri says it wasn't intentional, but Clinton's speech could have provided examples of LGBT people in leadership positions.
"Speeches like Clinton's effect how public policy decisions are framed moving forward, so the rhetoric needs to be accessible to all audiences," she says.
Midiri submitted her article to Young Scholars in Writing, a refereed journal funded by the University of Missouri-Kansas City's College of Arts and Sciences and English Department.
"I've learned so much about academic writing through the Young Scholars in Writing program," Midiri says. "Communicating one-on-one with an editor has been a great experience for me. Creative writing was never my thing, but when I realized I could write about rhetoric and be published as an undergraduate, I was sold on majoring in English."
This March, Midiri will present a project about undergraduate research in the humanities at the Conference on College Composition and Communication in Las Vegas. She has also co-written an article on the same subject with William FitzGerald, an assistant professor of English at Rutgers–Camden.
"His mentorship, as well as the experience I've had at Rutgers–Camden, has been invaluable."
After graduating from Rutgers–Camden in May, Midiri hopes to continue her education and pursue her master's degree in rhetorical studies.

A lens and a memory card are required but not included with this camera. Please be sure to purchase a lens and a memory card for this camera.
Passion for photography and unrelentingly high-standards are what drives the Fujifilm X-Pro1 Digital Camera. Proudly made in Japan, every part of the X-Pro1 - from the sensor to the knurled finish of the mode dials - was painstakingly produced with an extreme attention to detail. Harkening back to a time when cameras had the kind of weight to them that gave a photographer confidence, Fujifilm has designed the X-Pro1 with a die-cast aluminum top and base, a leather like finish on the main body for grip and the look and feel of authentic leather, a natural fitting eyepiece, and other elegant touches like precise engraving on the top-plate. This level of attention to design and a photographer's comfort when shooting makes it almost hard to believe the X-Pro1 is a modern digital camera.
That being said, the X-Pro1 is very much a digital camera, combining time-tested physical attributes - refined during the film era - and 21st century digital technology. Mirrorless, the camera's X Mount has a short flange back of just 17.7mm, meaning that rear lens elements are as close to the sensor as possible. This reduces the back focus distance of each lens and results in high resolution being achieved all the way to the edge of the image. The sensor is Fujiflm's 16.3Mp APS-C 23.6 x 15.6mm X-Trans CMOS sensor. The X-Trans utilizes a color filter array to attack moiré and false colors, resulting in an exceptionally true-to-life image that sensor's with optical low-pass filters cannot approach. The EXR Processor Pro supports the X-Trans sensor in its mission and works with an integrated co-processor for high speed and precision.
The X-Pro1 also features the Hybrid Multi Viewfinder which allows you to switch between optical and electronic viewfinders. When an XF series lens is mounted to the camera the viewfinder magnification and frame size are automatically adjusted for immediate shooting. The optical viewfinder provides the brightest viewing image and keeps shutter lag to a minimum, while the electronic viewfinder provides focus confirmation, exposure information, white balance information, and depth of field indicators, as well as a "Live View" of your composition.
In addition to the Hybrid Multi Viewfinder, the X-Pro1 has a 3.0" LCD screen with 100% coverage and 1,230,000 dots. Files can be stored to SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards, and still images can be recorded in JPEG and RAW formats. Of course, the X-Pro1 can also capture H.264 HD video with stereo sound at 1920 x 1080 resolution. External TTL flashes can be attached to the camera using the hot shoe. Additional features include a self-timer, an ISO range of 200-6500 (extended range of 100-25,600), and spot, average, multi-zone, and TTL 256-zone metering options, among other useful functions.
Conventional array The optical low-pass filter prevents the occurrence of moire and false colors but results in a loss of resolution
New filter array A higher degree of randomness with an array of 6 x 6 pixel units. Without using an optical low-pass filter, moire and false colors are eliminated while realizing high resolution. Inspired by the natural random arrangement of the fine grains of silver halide in film
Magnifying system Viewfinder magnification automatically changes when an XF series lens is mounted, and because there is very little noticeable difference in the angle of view when switching between OVF and EVF, viewing in either mode is smooth and natural

The good: The 13-inch MacBook Air has new Intel CPUs, better battery life, and an improved 720p Webcam, and finally adds USB 3.0 ports, while shaving $100 off the price from last year's models.
The bad: The design, while strong, stays largely the same: there's no Ethernet port, and the base SSD storage option of 128GB is smaller than a standard hard drive, though common for ultrabooks.
The bottom line: This year's MacBook Air opts for gradual improvements rather than anything revolutionary, but lowered prices continue to make it the go-to mainstream recommendation for any MacBook owner-to-be.

Summary: Out of everything Apple has ever done, engineering a notebook to be this thin and light has to be in Apple top ten list, if not #1! This Macbook has a great battery, screen, SSD, weight,webcam, processor, graphics... ect. The only downside is its pricey and easily smudged.I cannot recommend any other laptop over this because it is just so perfect, inside and out! Apple is going to take over the computer market if it can make all of its products more like the Macbook Air!

Best Air Yet...
by mxidis88 on June 25, 2012
Pros: Sleek, simple design. USB 3.0 update makes a smaller SSD less of a problem because you can use any of the hundreds of external drives for storage. Battery life is truly all day. Looking forward to OS X 10.8 for added software features.
Cons: The only thing that I can't stand about apple products is the premium price. $1200 for the base 13" model is a lot of money for an entry level laptop. That said, the price to pay for having everything just work is worth it in the end.

Summary: I've owned each generation of the Macbook Air, save the original 2009 version. In April I sold my 2011 Air to buy the new iPad and an older MBPro. Thought it would work and I was wrong. Thankfully I was able to resell both and buy the new Air. This is definitely a spec bump from the 2011 version, but I can't say enough about the USB 3.0 ports. As someone who does a lot of video editing on the go for school, having a 1TB external HD that transfers 10x faster than USB 2.0 is a huge convenience . The Air, in my opinion is apple's best laptop(if you don't throw down 2200 for the new MBPro 15"). If you don't have last years 2011 MBA and you're looking for a great portable machine, the 2012 13" Air is for you...

Best Laptop that I have owned. My first Apple computer.
by nburnett1 on February 25, 2013
Pros: It is lightweight, thin, fast start up time, very long battery life and charges very fast. I love Apple's trackpad and backlit keyboard. OSX is great. Good screen resolution, doesn't hurt my eyes reading online books anymore.
Cons: None. I thought I will miss not having a optical drive but I don't. I realize that I rarely use it. The only time I can see it being a problem is when I travel and have to have an external dvd player to watch movies.

Summary: I have been a Windows PC man since the days of DOS and always prided myself on my ability to tweak and customize PC's. If you want a ultra book that is easy to use, state of the art, and doesn't require you to be a techno-geek to use, get the MacBook Air. I own i7 HP Elite desktops, HP dv-7 & 9 laptops all running solid state drives (upgraded myself) and this Air absolutely meets my needs for both work and travel. It just works. Apple is light years ahead when it comes to the simplicity of connecting to wireless networks or devices. Download software or applications and they just work; no tweaking or crashing. When you get the extended warranty you get 3 years of live technical support, but I doubt you will ever need it. Whether you're an experienced computer user like myself or your looking for your first laptop, you will not be disappointed with this MacBook Air. The 256GB SSD is plenty big. I have most of my files in SugarSync or Dropbox so I can share across all of my systems. I have a 64GB iPad 4th Gen for my movies and my iPhone for my music. The shared experience across all of these devices is simple and simply amazing. If your on the fence, pull the trigger; you won't be sorry.

Summary: This year's Macbook Air is one of the best I've seen performed. The only thing that bugs me is the charger that is point front-first rather than last year's left/right pointer. The price also really annoys me as you could get a i7 processor Ultrabook like Vizio for about the same price, but that is normal for Apple. Great for work, play and internet browsing. Good battery life. This is definitely an Ultrabook recommended for students. And using it for 5 years shouldn't be an issue.

I highly recommend refurbished. Same great 1 year warranty. Comes in perfect condition besides original box. Save hundreds of dollars!
I thought of Macbook Pro but for $250 more, I would be loosing 128 in memory and gaining half a pound in weight. The Retina is a great computer and wows but is un needed for the most part. I would have rather scene a MBP slim but with quad core.
Overall 13" has right balance of speed/quickness,durability and etc. If you need raw power go with the MBP line but if you just doing streaming video and basic stuff the MBA is perfect. -

Summary: This is great engineering. It generally works great and is ultra-portable. However, I would never buy it for myself, as this one was a gift. The price is just not justifiable, and the rating I gave it takes that into account, since price is important to me (but may not be for others).
One minor problem is that it overheats somewhat easily (opening lots of tabs. or just opening itunes, another app, and watching a video).1 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: Let's admit it - some folks are hooked on Apple products. Who can explain it? I'll not judge. If you're a user that HAS to have Apple, this review isn't for you (why are you reading reviews?). If you're like me though and once considered switching from another platform, then read on and I'll tell you why I've had a bad experience and feel taken advantage of.
I use this model for work and I've owned an older MacBook Pro for six years. I also have a Sony Vaio running Windows 7 and an Android Nexus 7. I've got exposure to multiple platforms let's say :) My beef with the MacBook Pro is that for a product that costs FOUR TIMES as much as my Sony Vaio it has a fraction of the features.
My $700 Sony Vaio may only impress my friends who can do feature and financial match, but has TONs of useful features I wish my MacBook Pro had. Let's list them:
1. Windows 7: I could go on at length why I prefer Windows 7 to Mac OS X. Each Mac OS X upgrade seems to remove features such a the 'rename file' menu option or the ability to auto-size columns in the finder. Windows just keeps getting better. I really dig how in Windows I can actually do things like usefully stack or tile my open windows. That 'Maximize' actually makes a window fill my desktop reliably (Mac OS X's 'Zoom' is very unpredictable), and that the task bar lets me access both open applications and their individual windows.
2. Display: For a fraction of the price, my Vaio's display is just as bright an crisp an my MacBook Pro's
3. A two-button trackpad: I've really tried to like Apple's new trackpads. I have! But in the end they just don't help me do what I want to do better. Instead of a right click button that just works, the 'two finger tap' or 'CTRL-Tap' just make it hard to access content menus in Mac OS X. And having the trackpad and click button integrated makes it almost impossible to repeatedly tap the same place twice. On my $600 Sony Vaio, these tasks are a breeze and I was able to afford plane tickets to Hawaii :)
That's just a start of a very long list of reasons why you'd get so much more for you money than by throwing it away on Apple's out-of-date brand name.
Be open-minded and really do some hand-on comparison. Don't let your friends pressure you into getting gypped!0 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Re: abstinance or moderation
"Postby Avo » Wed Jun 27, 2012 10:19 am
I've been able to put all thinking in regards to Suboxone being "using" out of my mind. It no longer bothers me that I regularly take an opiate "like" medication. I'm glad that I've been able to do this because it really helps my PAWS. I am functional and much more productive. Happier even :D
I know that in terms of moderating opiate use I likely wouldn't be successful. Besides it being against the law, which nowadays is a deterrent for me, I have never once used this drug with exercising an ability to control my intake. For this reason as well, I'll likely always need to refrain from recreational opiate use. I have decided that if I'm ever in need and able to take pain killers that I will do it without qualms. Another of the hundreds of pet peeves I have about the program is the so called expectation that addicts or even "alcoholics" need to suffer pain in order to maintain their clean time. The decision seems to be made for others and instilled by others into their brains at a time that they themselves are not suffering. Kind of unfair, don't ya think?"
"Postby Avo » Sat Jun 30, 2012 10:58 pm
I've thought a bit about how different I would do things and now that I'm on the Sub I wish that I had tried this route years ago. It had been offered but I was determined to be "clean" by program standards. It's difficult to know how it might have been better for me or not. Since I'm on a higher dose atm and slowly working my way down, I am questioning it again now, :lol: Since the paws were so awful for me all I do is have to remember the times when life didn't seem worth living and the questions get answered right away."
"Postby Avo » Wed Jul 04, 2012 7:04 am
My bit about the PAWS was for me a way to keep it in perspective. The Sub has caused some issues of concern and I was prepared to face them. But for now, comparing the two is night and day. Living like life it was a disaster when in fact I have much to live and be happy for (like you), wasn't living. I needed to make a change and go in a different direction. Now I feel good. Normal, and happy. Thanks!"

Avocagno, has not even finished her recovery yet. She is still using Suboxone to treat her PAWS. Which in and of itself is a good thing, but this chick is still a puppy when it comes to being able to stay clean and sober on her own. Yet here she is harassing other members who don't agree with her naive views about AA.
Girl try this, when you and your doctor think you are ready get off of suboxone and the ambien you are taking everyday. Then come back here and talk all shit you want, but I don't think you will.
Avo, you are not fully rid of opiates yet, you are still dependent. I am not saying this is wrong because it isn't. I just think you should tell everyone before you run off at the mouth about opinions concerning sobriety, how sobriety should be achieved, who is making the decisions about the quality and consistency of anyone's sobriety. FINISH YOUR RECOVERY PROGRAM!!!
I also believe that after you have been clean for a while, all this Missouri trailer trash shit you have been talking about that has to do with me and these other people, whether real or fancy, will end. You will finally grow the fuck up and realize your lies are not necessary.
Avo, most of us here are not in recovery, recovering or even in NA, AA, SMART, HAMS or any other form of recovery program. We have left it all in our past. I am talking decades ago.
Suboxone wasn't even available when I was banging dope. You either kicked it cold turkey or you went on methadone. I never considered methadone as a viable alternative, just my opinion.
Yes my way was painful (probably beyond anyones belief) but I saw many before me do it and they succeeded.
Avo, you lied about me. Now whether you want to call me Danny, Trisha, Claude or who ever, it still doesn't wash away the fact you lied about me calling your home and threatening your son.
This never happened because if it did, I would not be here, writing on this site. I would be in jail, awaiting trial for a prison sentence.
So why don't you quit with all this other bullshit and tell everyone here what a piece of shit you were to accuse me of such a horrible allegation.
(Here are your contradicting statements, actually you are the liar. Talk about feeling guilty Avo, how about being a mother and using your son in a plot to frame someone else on a AA web site)

I thought you weren't engaging in this conversation?
Next time, instead of waiting for me to set the parameters, why not just google it?
Yeah, Ironic. She was banging dope long before any of us were born! You know, most women in their 30s (wasn't that the claim?) who once did heroin managed to do it all before anyone else was born. Which makes Trisha either the unknown companion of Doctor Who or not who she claims to be. I'm shocked.

So 'girl try this' is not counseling? You are counseling, you are also doing in a real assholish way. You are simply trying to obsfucate what you have done.
I think the readership of this thread is quite capable of making their own minds up regarding the words YOU WROTE.
This type of mentality, although common in the rooms, has unrivaled danger. You can lie, twist, proclaim, prosyltize, or spin your words, but YOU WROTE them.
Once again, in a shining example of rigorous honesty and assclownery, you have exposed youself for bing the LIAR you are. I might also add that people who continue to promote this dangerous and uncredible line of so called reasoning have a lot of blood on their hands.
Kill anyone lately with your your counsel trish?
as you continue to counsel people to stop taking prescribed medication. And you LIE about it, and you cowardly try to avoid the questioning of your outrageoous claims and the web of lies you create to try to spin your way out of it.
You are a LIAR.. You are also a busted LIAR. This will be repeated, including YOUR WRITING under YOUR posts in the future. You have been exposed for the FRAUD you are.

Which is exactly what is happening between the two of them are doing. The gist of their comments are that 'it's OK to use Suboxone to get clean but you're not really in recovery or clean if ya do'.
Thanks for pointing that out, DeCon. Typical AA prodding and predicting about someone else's life.

I would never tell anyone not to take prescribed meds. Neither would AA.
I mentioned when I first got here that I knew people that went to methodone clinics for years. I asked then what was the difference between trading their addiction for this, and is there ever the goal of being off everything?
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
I have heard multiple AA members tell others @ meetings & outside of meetings not to take their medication & not to take any pain medication prescribed due to a surgery or accident or etc. I could be sworn in & testify to these statements in a court room. I heard it over & over. I heard many AA members tell recovering addicts that taking medications anti depressants or anti anxiety or pain meds for medical reasons & well then they are not truly sober & will relapse. I am not the only witness to this atrocious behavior of unqualified & lunatic AA members.
That would be a shame, Patti. I haven't heard that, but I have held meds for people that couldn't be depended to take them as prescribed because they were cross addicted. I remember hearing people say that they didn't want to take anything because of fear of relapse. A lady here had foot surgery and she stayed in the hospital overnight because her problem started with pain management gone awry. I knew people that didn't want to take anti-depressants and rebelled against it, but I wanted some when my dog died. I know some women tht supplemented their menopause treatment with them, too. I just haven't heard this "big deal" as you describe, and certainly not for things such as birth control and blood pressure, as one man posted. Why would anyone in AA care about something like those?
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
"I would never tell anyone not to take prescribed meds. Neither would AA. "
But you will tell them that they are not clean, sober, or working a good program. You will freely insult them at every turn. You will continue to give them advice and tell charming anectdotes on the subject, all the while claiming that you really have no opinion and don't know anything about drugs. But you'll sneak your little message in there. And you'll smile. So fucking sweet and caring, aren't you?
"If I forget who I am, I am myself. If I remember who I am, I am you."
Who said that, Gigi? I asked a very legit question, especially in view of severall posts. If you cured yourself... why would you need supplemental drugs? Even if you don't agree with a step program, isn't it miseading to tell someone that your way worked for you and could work for them... when you are taking supplemental drugs? Seems like a fair question to ask.
And understand that I don't disagree with doing it if medically necessary, but I think it misleads people when you say you are cured and did it yourself.
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
I have actually learned quite a bit here.
Becket and Clara are the two most skilled trolls I've ever encountered.
Glad to be of service.
"The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks."
― Christopher Hitchens, Letters to a Young Contrarian
The "am I really clean on sub?" question bothered me too until I realized that I really didn't give a shit what anyone in the program said. They didn't have anything I wanted (who cares if you are sober if you never hit the gym so you are fat and killing youself with coffee and cigarettes?)
I also realized that they change the definition of everything. Fuck what they think, I don't care if I meet the definition of "sober" in the AA dictionary, do you? Nah :)
Is hitting the gym necessarily an integral part of everyone's sobriety? That may be part of your routine, but are you suggesting that if others don't follow suit they're wallowing in sloth? Would you also say that each and every one of those people smokes cigarettes and is fat? What are you saying here?
"The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks."

AA is about alcohol, not getting into shape, stopping smoking or giving up coffee. I guess it isn't about being in recovery but the one you had "problems" with...
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
No, hitting the gym is not an integral part of everyone's sobriety, I'm just saying that it was hard for me to take seriously a wheezing fatass sucking on a cancer stick when they would tell me that using marijuana/having a beer/doing something other than attending meetings would keep me sick.
I love coffee.
I don't love cigarettes, but I haven't stopped smoking them.
Guess I'm screwed.
"If I forget who I am, I am myself. If I remember who I am, I am you."
It will come in time. I actually think it is unhealthy to "stop everything." When I hear people say that in the rooms, I wonder if they aren't taking on too much at a time.
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
Hey Ironic,
Before I started the Sub I debated the NA/AA stance out of my mind. It was a difficult decision to make, as I had been clean for a while and not wanting to get "dependent" on anything. It's never entered my mind since, though. It was the best medication decision I've ever made.
I'd hate to think that an onlooker is reading Clara and Danny's post and concerning themselves over their opinions.
In any case, :-) I agree, fuck what they think. The definitions of AA/NA are what we have left behind. Take care Ironic, thanks!

To each his own...I know that I could quit smoking if I wanted to. I'm too damn lazy. No way I'm quitting coffee. I love coffee. Coffee is my hero.

Cycling in Melbourne Australia
Hi all
Based on a couple of recent conversations I've had I feel it's time we had a good look at the future of Melbourne Cyclist, and I want to open it up to the community to help create the site that you want.
For the "too long, didn't read" version, scroll down to the bit that says "So, what's next ?". Otherwise, read on!
A little bit of history.
I created Sydney Cyclist in October 2007 because I didn't feel Sydney had a central place to discuss issues in Sydney, as well as share rides, tips and connect with people online. All the various tribes and groups had conversations off on various private forums and mailing lists and there was no easy way for new people to break in and find out what was going on.
It's worked pretty well.
A few months later, ChrisS contacted me and asked if consider doing the same for Melbourne. I was a little hestitant at first because from what I could see, Melbourne didn't have a lot of the advocacy and infrastructure challenges that Sydney did, and because Melbournites seem to be generally a little more social and progressive, the needs that I saw in Sydney seemed to be being met for Melbourne. Secondly, and more importantly, I didn't know much (anything) about riding in Melbourne. Chris talked me into it and agreed to help run the site though and we launched it in December 2007.
Through Chris's work and her awesome network of cycling people, this site turned into an awesome online community full of great discussions. Other than keeping the lights on and helping cleaning up spammers when they hit, I didn't have to do much and the site thrived. Also in 2009, I moved to Brisbane and after bunch of encouragement kicked off Brisbane Cyclist and put what time I had (not a lot) into that community.
In late 2010 Chris had to pull back from the site because all her time was needed on other ventures and she wasn't able to put the time into Melbourne Cyclist. She offered to find someone else to help run the site. At the time I was trying to look for somewhere to live and organise a house move, I was somewhat distracted and I think I said something along the lines of "it's ok, we'll take care of it".
What I thought I did around that time, but have looked and can't find it was publically say thanks.
So if I didn't say it, I'm truly sorry and I'd like to very publically say a massive thank you Chris for making Melbourne Cyclist a great online community. Your work getting it running was awesome, and the site wouldn't exist without you.
Since 2010 the site has grown quietly. It's a great source of upcoming events and it's home to a couple of localised cycling groups who use it extensively. But it's not the home of great discussion it once was. A lot of new people find the site and ask some questions, but a lot of those go unanswered for many days.
I work to keep the spammers at bay, including manually approving every new member at the moment (because of the nasty type of spammer who join at 4am and post links on the profiles of as many members as they can before I can see them), and add to conversations when I can, and we (myself and Sammy) put together the occasional newsletter and run some competitions, but can't add much about cycling in Melbourne, because I still don't know that much about it.
So, what's next ?
I'm putting it out to you guys and girls to let me know what Melbourne Cyclist should be.
What would you like more of ? What would you like less of ? What new things would make it more useful ? Do you have an event / group / club / idea that could benefit from something here ? Is there something here you love, or something here you can't stand ?
I see that a good listing of group rides and training groups, with a way to find a ride that suits your level and style could be a good addition.
But I want to know what you think.
Post your thoughts and ideas here if you are happy to have them in public, or if you'd like to do it privately email them to me directly at email@example.com. I won't promise I'll be able to reply to everything, or do everything people ask for, but I do want to know what people want from Melbourne Cyclist and get some ideas for how to make it more awesome.
Thanks everyone for your time reading this, and hopefully a couple of minutes giving me your thoughts.
I agree about starting a list of group rides!
Hi Damien, the site seems to run well - probably because of the back of house efforts from the selfless few - and I wouldn't want too many changes. I must admit that I pretty much only use it these days to post information about route closures, detours, etc, but I do welcome the invites to the various events, even if I can't get to many of them.
Thanks to you, Chris and the others for keeping the site in such good order.
Hi Damien
Thanks so much for inviting input. I love the site because it has enabled me to hook up with other cyclists in my area and generally just communicate with like-minded people. Well done!
Hi Damien
I found Melbourne cyclist when I was visiting family in 2009 & became a fan. I live in British Columbia & so I'm not able to be involved in activities but if I did I would. However I keep an interest in the site because it keeps me in touch with Melbourne in a different way & also keeps me focused on bike issues. I even had a thought of having a similar site here, but pressure of work has prevented that idea so far. I live in Rossland the Kootenay region of BC where there is a strong mountain & road bike passion. Rossland is also a ski town where a lot of Aussies visit each year. Anyway, I guess this is a long winded way of saying "keep the flag flying". I enjoy the site & perhaps one day I'll return to Oz & get more involved in the bike scene there. Hey...check out the new bike mag from France named "Steel"....it reminds me of Treadlie.
Regards John Lake
I joined then hardly looked at it, so maybe that says something about what is needed. Perhaps emailed reminders like the one that prompted me to reply to this. I'm not sure what purpose it serves - yet another website but doing what??? I think that a list of rides, be they shop rides or any other loosely organised group would be great, along with the type of rider it would suit. It should be open to all members, so that those who are looking for like minded people in an age group with time on their hands from 9.30 to 14.30, for example, can say so. By suburb of course. BIG thanks to those whose work keeps this going.
I like the groups concept (I have joined touring and tandems) but consider that there is very little activity on the site.
Yes I am as guilty as the rest of you for not posting but unless this site can find a special niche it will possibly drift along as usual.
We have BNA and BV both running sites with far more traffic than here but there was a recent thread on BV trying to analyse the reduced traffic on that site, one suggestion being that many people were moving to social network sites.
BV has a useful thread where people may ask question about bike maintenance and there are a number of members who are able to offer expert advice. The site has a small core of members who post using pseudonyms but all know each other and post lengthy threads dealing with their recent rides with the odd attack on motorists each time a cyclist is killed or injured, conveniently ignoring the fact that the cyclist is sometimes at fault.
BNA appears more structured than BV and has dedicated forums for the different cycling disciplines, eg road, MTB, touring etc.
I believe that like the social networking sites Melbourne Cyclist should encourage members to post using their names and not used pseudonyms.
Not much help I know but that's my 2 cents worth.
Thanks to Damian, Chris and Sammy for taking the site to where it is now. When I first joined. (looking back in September 2008) there was a lot of activity. Personally I was helped a lot from people on the site with most of my questions. ) over the years I have seen regular posters come and go and I must admit it is nice when there is some activity for I check the page at least twice a day and when the site is quiet for a couple of days it is a bit disappointing but I still come back and check.
Love all the different groups that have formed over the years but it would be nice if somehow they could be a bit more active.
The weekly email that Sammy sent out to members is a great idea, but maybe some may not like that feature, it has been so long since I signed up I cannot remember if there was a check box to accept them.
I am probably a bit different to most but my daily bike viewing is here, plus, Cycling Tips and the Fyxomatosis site. For the rest of the time I am working or participating in my main hobby of Amateur Radio. But just reading those 3 sites I can keep up with most of the current cycling activity.
I do like to get on the bike but not as much as I would like to (this is evident on my Strava profile) but do like to somehow feel I am part of the cycling culture.
Probably not too much for you to work with Damian, sorry about that.
One thing I did not mention is if you ever wonder how much activity a particular post can produce it is interesting to look at the view status which in most cases is far in excess of the posted messages. A god example is the Kaise Baas Camera post which has 239 looks but only a few comments.
Cheers, Jack..VK3WWW for those who were wondering!
I'd like to know if anyone has yet to design a self contained shower system that cycle commuters can use in small business's that can't afford the space or money to make a real shower...
oh, and what an earth has happened to the Kona Dirt Crits under the Westgate bridge? Ever since they moved from the original car park I've NEVER been able to find them at the time or place they say they are.
Best to ask Kristjan or someone at FGP directly, maybe they're in hiatus?
Hi Damian
Well done on maintaining this site for a start! Cyclists in Melbourne are a disparate bunch, each with their own interests and passions. Being the home of cycling, there's a niche for everyone who likes being on a bike.
Melbourne Cyclist has the difficult task of reflecting that.
Stephen is right: I think the first place to start is with a fortnightly (at least,) or monthly email newsletter that provides a snapshot of recent activity, discussions, videos/photos, and also provides a notification of upcoming events. Just a hyperlinked email, without graphics. Human Powered Cycles do something similar.
As far as the total site is concerned, it's a bit lacking in focus, especially the top-menu items. This is what I would like to put forward:
After the Home page, Groups (of Forums) across the top defined by interest, and in no particular order, e.g. -
New To Cycling
Fixies/Singles/Hip & Cool
Utility & Riding With Kids
Group Rides
Get Dirty
Each of these top menu items would open to a page that describes what the group is about, with forums by topic underneath.
Also as a top-menu item, group videos and photos under a Multimedia page, just as a place to post videos & photos.
Finally, have a General Forum top-menu item, under which you'll find sub-forums, e.g. -
General discussion
Cycling In The News
Retain all the other current front page features, such as: Latest activity, Updated Photos, Latest Activity, Member List.
A member can still subscribe to as many Forums as they like, but I think the most important thing - new development - would be the opportunity to opt in/subscribe to an email newsletter. So, a Registered Member receives notifications from as many Forums as they like, or just the Newsletter notification, or all of the above.
Well done on keeping this site going!
(And I agree with Amanda - this site is for 'ordinary' cyclists, that's it's charm).
All the best
I too, have found that some of the 'pearls' get lost. I think that's largely due to the environs that ning provides, however I think the above menu structure would help greatly.
I think we do a really good job of catering to the newbies (both cycling, and to MC). It's one of MC's many, many virtues. I'd frequently post in the New to Cycling, the Commuters, and the Utility/kids sections (although I do think perhaps they could be split?)
I also haven't posted as often, of late, due to change in job. Once things settle down a little, I hope I can pick it up a tad.
