About the only time you'll see an otherwise laid-back Tom Florence get animated is when you mention fees in the liquid alts space, and the general impression that they're too high.
"Love it, love it; love that question," says the CEO of Denver-based liquid alternative investment firm 361 Capital, gamely rising to the challenge. "The early entrants into the world of alternative investments were hedge funds into '40 Act funds, and they dragged along the performance-based fee structure. So you'd have to pay the manager 150 basis points and then there were all these performance-based fees. It's evolved to where it's now really just a management fee, as there is in a traditional mutual fund, without any incentive fees."
For instance, he points to the firm's managed futures fund, which he says is 180 basis points "all in," with 150 basis points as a management fee.
"They are going to come down," he says pointedly. "We're constantly looking at fees in the industry relative to where the assets are going. Now you're seeing multimanager funds that, rather than hiring hedge fund managers to manage the assets in the traditional sense, they're able to lure those managers for a flat fee. So they're becoming much more investor friendly, which is a good thing and what should happen."
The firm, founded in 2001 by president and CIO Brian Cunningham, has a sole focus of taking its "experience and knowledge in the alternative space 'post-Bernie,' and all that nastiness with illiquidity, high fees and a lack of transparency, and put these strategies into something usable," according to Florence.
"All lot of these strategies are good strategies and have a place in the portfolio, and why shouldn't everybody have access to them?" he rhetorically asks. "So we see a '40 Act mutual fund as the perfect vehicle for something like that. Our view is to take the strategies that make the most sense in mutual funds and then put them in mutual funds. Our mission as a firm is to create alternative investment vehicles that have weekly liquidity or better, and then teach our advisors who we work through how to best use them in portfolios."
So is the alternative investment story an easy story to tell at this point? Yes and no, Florence responds.
"There was a lot of interest around alternative investments in 2008 and 2009. Since then we've had this tremendous bull market, so it's hard to get excited about anything other than the S&P 500. However, what is starting to draw people to it is the question of what will happen with fixed income and rising interest rates."
That concern, coupled with more education among advisors on the topic of alternatives, are driving interest beyond the "tip of the pyramid," a theme the firm is currently discussing. "The tip is the people that really get it, they've been using [alternative investments] in the asset allocation of their portfolios and they've been subbing out the illiquid stuff for the liquid stuff. They've been the ones that have been really driving assets in the space over the last three years. And when you read about the asset growth, which has been pretty tremendous, it's some of the more astute advisors that haven't been using alternative assets that are now beginning to use them. And that will continue down through the rest of the pyramid, and it represents tremendous opportunity."
The impression among many advisors is that in 2008, too many of the supposedly noncorrelated assets sure were correlated, and about the only asset class that performed to expectations during that time was managed futures. The story since then with managed futures hasn't been pretty, so how does the firm tell the alternative investment story if there isn't the track record to back it up? Florence doesn't hesitate.
"One of the things that make us so effective is that we have counter-trend strategies, which is different than the trend followers," he says.
"Managed futures have predominantly been a trend following strategy," Cunningham adds. "That has suffered over the last few years because, ex. the equity markets which have been choppy at times, there really hasn't been a clear trend, say, with commodities and things of that nature. So we're in a 26-month or 27-month drawdown on the managed futures industry as a whole. I think that I'd rather have a strategy that's consistent over time, rather than one that gives me a 30% return in 2008 and then nothing for the next four or five years."
This is one reason 361 Capital ("a degree beyond" is its tagline, in case you were wondering) "latched on" to the whole idea of short-term countertrend strategies; because they tend to be more consistent and tend to trade less often.
"I think one of the things that's been a major driver of our growth and something we emphasize here is simplicity and transparency in the strategy," Cunningham continues. "It's one thing to have underlying transparency to the position, but show me the typical hedge fund with the thousands of positions and I couldn't really tell you what the strategy is. If you keep it simple as to why the strategy works and when it will do well and when will it struggle, that's what has been resonating with advisors."
The result is that the firm has been able to get positive returns in a bad market environment for managed futures, something few others were able to do. Cunningham says the managed futures fund is up 9.43% over the last 12 months, while the average fund in the industry was down 6%.
"If I can earn 9.43% every year, hey, I'll take it," he says, before conceding the S&P 500 was up 19% over the past 18 months, "but those are really outlier years. We've focused on this niche specifically for that consistency, and that's really what's resonated with advisors. Simple process, simple story. It's not a black box; around here we call it a transparent box."

Gymnast's father calls racist comment 'out of line'
Biles, 16, becomes first black all-around world champion
The parents of 16-year-old world champion gymnast Simone Biles aren't ready to forgive Italian gymnast Carlotta Ferlito for a racist comment made during last week's competition.
"I found it very insulting," Biles' father, Ron, told USA Today Sports. "The racial comment was really out of line."
Ferlito's comment came after she and fellow Italian gymnast Vanessa Ferrari finished fifth and fourth, respectively, on the balance beam at the world championships in Antwerp, Belgium, on Oct. 6. Biles finished third in the event to take home a bronze medal. Ferlito said with a laugh during a video interview, "I told Vane that next time we'll have our skin black also so we can win, too."
With her all-around victory earlier in the week, Biles had become the first black gymnast to become world champion. The victory came after fellow American Gabby Douglas became the first black woman to win the Olympic all-around title in London in 2012.
Ferlito's comment was met with condemnation on Thursday by Italian federation president Riccardo Agabio, who said in a statement that he deplores "every form of racism and discrimination."
For her part, Ferlito took to Twitter on Tuesday to apologize for her comment.
"I want to apologize with the Americans girls. I didn't want to sound rude or racist. I love Simone and I'm a huge fan of USA gymnastics," Ferlito tweeted. "I've made a mistake, I'm not perfect ... I didn't think about what I was saying. I'm just a human. I'm so so sorry."

Coconut-Lime Rice Pudding with Mangoes and Cashews
Do you ever get the Sunday night blues? You know, that feeling of disappointment that the weekend is over and Monday morning looms like a dark cloud?
It happens to me sometimes. And when I feel this way, I usually crave something comforting. This past Sunday it was rice pudding--the quintessential comfort food. That's because it's warm, creamy, and unabashedly carb-y. These are the good carbs though, the ones that make you feel like you're receiving a hug from your mom.
Even if you don't get the Sunday night blues, everyone needs a little comfort now and again. And rice pudding leaves you feeling good every time.
Though I typically use traditional flavorings like cinnamon and vanilla, I went a little tropical with this one by using coconut milk, grated lime zest, and toasted shredded coconut. It still has all the benefits of classic rice pudding but with a little sass. Top it with diced, ripe mango, crunchy cashew nuts, and toasted coconut, and you'll be laughing before you know it. And all of a sudden, Monday morning won't seem so bad.
Coconut-Lime Rice Pudding with Mangoes and Cashews
Serves 4
Print recipe only here.
1/2 cup Arborio rice
2 cups water
2 cups coconut milk (regular or light)
1/3 cup sugar
zest of 1/2 lime
4 tablespoons sweetened shredded coconut, toasted
1 small, ripe mango, diced
2 tablespoons sweetened coconut shreds, toasted
2 tablespoons unsalted cashew nuts, chopped
a pinch of lime zest
Place 4 tablespoons shredded coconut in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Shake the pan handle gently in a back-and-forth motion for 2-3 minutes to ensure even toasting, or until coconut is golden and aromatic. Set aside.
Add rice, water, coconut milk, and sugar to a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, stir well, and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer, letting the rice bubble gently for 35-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. When done, the rice will be plump, and the pudding will be thick and creamy. Give it a taste--the rice should be fully cooked yet maintain a slight firmness.
Remove from heat, and stir in the lime zest and toasted coconut. Allow to cool slightly before placing in individual serving dishes. Garnish each dish with fresh diced mango, toasted coconut, chopped cashews, and finely grated lime zest.

Susan didn't anyone ever tell you rice pudding makes boring photos.
I have never seen a more exciting rice pudding than this! Seriously. You've somehow managed to capture the lovely thickness of the pudding and kept the individual grains of rice and then you've danced it with sunshine mangoes, cashews, coconut and lime! Really beautiful!

OHO!! Taking a trip to India with all those South Indian flavors in your dish today, eh Susan? :)
That bowl reminds me of home. It's Mango season in India, I am so jealous of all the Indian bloggers in India flaunting juicy mangoes these days.My grandfather has many Cashew trees in his coffee plantation. As kids, we used pluck green Cashews, roast them, hit them with rock to open and eat the warm toasted cashews!!
Fabulous looking dessert, enjoy.

It sounds so exotic to me Susan... I never ever use coconut in any of my recipes and mixing it with rice is like food from other planet. However, I must say it looks awesome and I wouldn't mind at all to have a tapa of your pudding :D

I love rice pudding but would be the only one eating it in my house.

Principal Proposed Uses
- Congestive Heart Failure
- Cardiomyopathy
- Heart Attack Recovery
- Hypertension
- Nutrient Depletion/Interference Caused by Various Medications
Coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ 10 ), also known as ubiquinone, is a major part of the body's mechanism for producing energy. The name of this supplement comes from the word ubiquitous, which means "found everywhere." Indeed, CoQ 10 is found in every cell in the body. It plays a fundamental role in the mitochondria, the parts of the cell that produce energy from glucose and fatty acids.
Japanese scientists first reported therapeutic properties of CoQ 10 in the 1960s. Some evidence suggests that CoQ 10 might assist the heart during times of stress on the heart muscle, perhaps by helping it use energy more efficiently.
CoQ 10 's best-established use is for congestive heart failure, but the evidence that it works is not entirely consistent. Ongoing research suggests that it may also be useful for other types of heart problems, Parkinson's disease, and several additional illnesses. It is generally used in addition to, rather than instead of, standard therapies.
CoQ 10 supplementation might also be of value for counteracting side effects of certain prescription medications.
Every cell in your body needs CoQ 10 , but there is no dietary requirement as the body can manufacture CoQ 10 from scratch.
Therapeutic Dosages
The typical recommended dosage of CoQ 10 is 30 mg to 300 mg daily; higher daily intakes have been used in some studies.
CoQ 10 is fat soluble and may be better absorbed when taken in an oil-based soft gel form rather than in a dry form such as tablets and capsules. 1,81 Dividing the total daily dosage up into two or more separate doses may produce higher blood levels. 81
A finely ground up ("nanoparticular") form of the supplement appears to be much better absorbed than standard CoQ 10 products. 86
Therapeutic Uses
Although not all studies have been positive, some evidence supports the use of CoQ 10 for treating congestive heart failure . 33-36,51-52,66,83 Keep in mind that CoQ 10 is taken along with conventional medications, not as a replacement for them.
Weaker evidence suggests that this supplement may be useful for heart attack recovery , 63,64,67,68cardiomyopathy , 5-7hypertension , 8-11,58diabetes , 40,58 strengthening the heart prior to heart surgery, 69 and migraine headaches . 75 Although CoQ 10 has been widely advertised as effective for treating and Parkinson's disease , in fact, there is only minimal evidence that it works, and some evidence that it does not work. 57,65,86
CoQ 10 has shown the potential to prevent heart damage and other side effects caused by certain types of cancer chemotherapy . 59-61 This evidence is weak, however, and as yet it cannot be stated with any certainty that CoQ 10 is actually helpful. 70
CoQ 10 has shown some preliminary promise as an aid to the treatment of kidney failure. 49
Note: People with severe illnesses, such as heart disease, cancer, or kidney failure, should not use CoQ 10 , or any supplement, except under physician supervision.
Highly preliminary studies suggest CoQ 10 might be helpful for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis . 13,14 CoQ 10 has been tried but not found effective for the treatment of Huntington's disease. 48
Certain medications may interfere with the body's production of CoQ 10 , or partially block its function. The best evidence regards cholesterol-lowering drugs in the statin family, such as lovastatin (Mevacor), simvastatin (Zocor), and pravastatin (Pravachol), along with the supplement red yeast rice (which contains naturally occurring statins). These medications impair CoQ 10 synthesis as an inevitable side effect of their mechanism of action. 22-25,89 Since these drugs are used to protect the heart, and since CoQ 10 deficiency could in theory impair heart function, it has been suggested that this side effect may work against the intended purpose of taking statins. Furthermore, one might naturally guess that some of the side effects of statins could be caused by this induced CoQ 10 deficiency. However, studies designed to determine whether the use of CoQ 10 supplements actually offers any benefit to people taking statins have returned inconsistent results at best. 76,77,87,88,90,91
For several other categories of drugs, the evidence that they interfere with CoQ 10 is provocative but even less reliable. These include oral diabetes drugs (especially glyburide, phenformin, and tolazamide), beta-blockers (specifically propranolol, metoprolol, and alprenolol), antipsychotic drugs in the phenothiazine family, tricyclic antidepressants , methyldopa , hydrochlorothiazide , clonidine , and hydralazine . 26-31 Again, while in theory CoQ 10 supplementation might be helpful for people using these medications, there is no direct evidence to support this hypothesis.
CoQ 10 has also been suggested as a performance enhancer for athletes. However, while one double-blind study of 25 highly trained cross-country skiers found some benefit, 15 most studies evaluating potential sports supplement uses of CoQ 10 have returned negative rather than positive results. 16-21,78
CoQ 10 is also sometimes claimed to be an effective treatment for periodontal disease . However, the studies on which this idea is based are too flawed to be taken as meaningful. 12 Even weaker evidence, far too weak to rely upon at all, hints that CoQ 10 might be useful in some cases of tinnitus (ringing in the ear).
One preliminary study of CoQ 10 for people undergoing treatment for HIV found conflicting results; the supplement appeared to improve general well-being, but it did not protect mitochondria (as the researchers had hoped it would) and actually seemed to worsen symptoms of nerve-related pain (peripheral neuropathy). 71
Preliminary evidence, far too weak to be relied upon at all, has been used to suggest that coenzyme Q10 might be helpful for asthma , 82 as well as reducing the side effects (specifically, cardiac toxicity) of the cancer chemotherapy drug doxorubicin . 84
CoQ 10 has additionally been proposed as a treatment for a wide variety of other conditions, including angina , cancer , male infertility , muscular dystrophy, and obesity , but there is, as yet, no evidence that it is effective.
There is also some evidence that CoQ 10 may reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy) in women who are at risk for this condition. 92
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Coenzyme Q
Congestive Heart Failure
Most but not all studies tell us that CoQ 10 can be helpful for people with congestive heart failure (CHF). In this serious condition, the heart muscles become weakened, resulting in poor circulation and shortness of breath.
People with CHF have significantly lower levels of CoQ 10 in heart muscle cells than do healthy people. 32 This fact alone does not prove that the supplements will help CHF; however, it prompted medical researchers to try using CoQ 10 as a treatment for heart failure.
A large systematic review of 7 randomized trials found some benefits with coenzyme Q supplements. 95 The randomized trials evaluated CoQ 10 supplements in 914 patients with chronic heart failure. When compared to placebo, CoQ 10 was associated with an improvement in the severity of heart failure symptoms in 2 of 3 trials. In one trial of 614 patients, 2 mg per kilogram body weight of CoQ 10 reduced re-hospitalization, acute pulmonary edema, cardiac asthma, and arrhythmia when compared to placebo. 33 Although, a second trial of 87 patients showed no significant differences in mortality.
Similarly positive results were also seen in other double-blind studies involving a total of more than 270 participants. 34-35,53,83 One double-blind study found that in people with heart failure so severe they were waiting for a heart transplant, use of CoQ 10 improved subjective symptoms. 72
However, two very well-designed double-blind studies published in 1999 and 2000 enrolling a total of about 85 people with congestive heart failure failed to find any evidence of benefit. 36,54 The reason for this discrepancy is not clear.
Cardiomyopathy is the general name given to conditions in which the heart muscle gradually becomes diseased. Several small studies suggest that CoQ 10 supplements are helpful for some forms of cardiomyopathy. 37-39
An 8-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 59 men already taking medications for high blood pressure found that 120 mg daily of CoQ 10 reduced blood pressure by about 9% as compared to placebo. 40
A 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 83 people with isolated systolic hypertension (a type of high blood pressure in which only the "top" number is high) found that use of CoQ 10 at a dose of 60 mg daily improved blood pressure measurements to a similar extent. 50
Similarly, in a 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 74 people with diabetes, use of CoQ 10 at a dose of 100 mg twice daily significantly reduced blood pressure as compared to placebo. 58
Antihypertensive effects were also seen in previous smaller trials, most of which were not double-blind. 41-43
CoQ 10 may also be beneficial in reducing the risk of high blood pressure during pregnancy ( pre-eclampsia ). 92 Two hundred and thirty-five pregnant women at risk for pre-eclampsia were randomized to receive CoQ 10 (200 mg daily) or placebo for 20 weeks until they delivered their babies. The women in the treatment group had fewer cases of pre-eclampsia compared to those who took the placebo.
Heart Attack Recovery
In a double-blind trial, 144 people who had recently experienced a heart attack were given either placebo or 120 mg of CoQ 10 daily for 1 year, along with conventional treatment. 63,73 The results showed that participants receiving CoQ 10 experienced significantly fewer heart-related problems, such as episodes of angina pectoris or arrhythmia, or recurrent heart attacks.
A double-blind study of 49 people who had suffered a full cardiac arrest requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) found that use of CoQ 10 along with mild hypothermia (chilling of the body) was more effective than mild hypothermia plus placebo. 74
Note: Individuals recovering from a heart attack should not take any herbs or supplements except under the supervision of a physician.
Parkinson's Disease
A study published in 2002 raised hopes that CoQ 10 might help slow the progression of Parkinson's disease. In this 16-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 80 people with Parkinson's disease were given either CoQ 10 (at a dose of 300 mg, 600 mg, or 1,200 mg daily) or placebo. 57 Participants in this trial had early stages of the disease and did not yet need medication. The results appeared to suggest that CoQ 10 , especially at the highest dose, might have slowed disease progression. However, for a variety of statistical reasons, the results were in fact quite inconclusive.
A subsequent double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 28 people with Parkinson's disease, which was well-controlled by medications, indicated that 360 mg of CoQ 10 daily could produce a mild improvement in some symptoms. 65 Based on these results, a more substantial study was undertaken, enrolling 131 people with Parkinson's disease (again, well-controlled by medications). 86 This repeat trial used a specially finely ground up form of CoQ 10 that, though taken at a dose of only 300 mg daily, produced blood levels of the supplement equivalent to those produced by 1,200 mg daily of ordinary CoQ 10 . Unfortunately, it didn't work. While benefits were seen in both the placebo and the CoQ 10 group, CoQ 10 failed to prove more effective than placebo.
Further trials will be necessary to confirm (or deny) these results.
In the 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 74 people with diabetes mentioned above, use of CoQ 10 at a dose of 100 mg twice daily significantly improved blood sugar control as compared to placebo. 58 Similar benefits were seen in the 8-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 59 men also described above. 40 However, a third study failed to find any effect on blood sugar control. 62
Safety Issues
In general, CoQ 10 appears to be extremely safe. No significant side effects have been found, even in studies that lasted a year. 44,79 However, people with severe heart disease should not take CoQ 10 (or any other supplement) except under a doctor's supervision.
As noted above, two studies suggest that CoQ 10 might reduce blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. 45 While this could potentially be helpful for treatment of diabetes, it might present a risk as well; people with diabetes who are using CoQ 10 might inadvertently push their blood sugar levels dangerously low. However, another trial in people with diabetes found no effect on blood sugar control. 46,58 The bottom line: If you have diabetes, make sure to track your blood sugar closely if you start taking CoQ 10 (or, indeed, any herb or supplement).
CoQ 10 chemically resembles vitamin K . Since vitamin K counters the anticoagulant effects of warfarin (Coumadin), it has been suggested that CoQ 10 may have the same effect. 47,55 However, a small, double-blind study found no interaction between CoQ 10 and warfarin. 56 Nonetheless, in view of warfarin's low margin of safety, prudence indicates physician supervision before combining CoQ 10 with warfarin.
CoQ 10 might also interact with reverse transcriptase inhibitors used for treatment of HIV (for example, lamivudine and zidovudine). These medications can cause damage to the mitochondria, the energy-producing subunits of cells, leading in turn to a variety of side effects, including lactic acidosis (a dangerous metabolic derangement), peripheral neuropathy (injury to nerves in the extremities), and lipodystrophy (cosmetically undesirable rearrangement of fat in the body). The supplement CoQ 10 has been tried for minimizing these side effects, but unexpected results occurred. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, use of CoQ10 improved general sense of well-being in people with HIV-infection using reverse transcriptase inhibitors; however, for reasons that are unclear, it actually worsened symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. 80 For this reason, people with HIV who have peripheral neuropathy symptoms should use CoQ 10 only with caution.
The maximum safe dosages of CoQ 10 for young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease have not been determined.

The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck. It produces hormones that control metabolism. Hyperthyroidism is the overproduction of thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland.
Hyperthyroidism may be caused by:
- Graves disease—an autoimmune disorder that occurs when the immune system produces antibodies that attack cells of the thyroid gland
Thyroid nodules:
- Toxic uninodular goiter—a single area/nodule in the thyroid gland is overactive
- Toxic multinodular goiter—multiple nodules in the thyroid gland which overproduce thyroid hormone
- Thyroiditis—inflammation of the thyroid that may later lead to hypothyroidism
- Taking too much thyroid hormone—very rarely from meat sources contaminated by animal thyroid glands
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chances of hyperthyroidism:
- Pregnancy—postpartum thyroiditis (hyperthyroidism followed by hypothyroidism)
- Family history of Graves disease
- Certain viral infections
- Smoking
Symptoms come on slowly. As the thyroid becomes more overactive, symptoms may appear. Examples include:
- Heart palpitations—more common in people over 50 years old
- Rapid or irregular pulse
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Heat intolerance
- Itchiness
- Nervousness, restlessness, or irritability
- Difficulty sleeping
- Increased number of bowel movements/diarrhea
- Irregular or absence of menstrual periods
- Unexplained weight loss despite an increased appetite
- Increased sweating
- Tremors
- Double vision
- Lumpy, red thickening of the skin in front of the shins
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Tests may include:
- Blood tests to measure level of thyroid hormones and look for thyroid antibodies
- Radioactive iodine uptake test to measure how much iodine the thyroid gland absorbs over the course of several hours
Treatment will depend what is causing the hyperthyroidism. It will also be adjusted if you are pregnant. Talk to your doctor about the best treatment options for you.
Options include:
Antithyroid Drugs
Antithyroid medications work best for Graves disease. They will reduce thyroid activity. Smoking can interfere with some of the medications. If you smoke, talk to your doctor about how you can successfully quit .
All theses medications can cause a rash, fever and painful joints. Serious adverse reactions include increased risk of infection and liver damage.
If the disease goes into remission, you may no longer need medication.
This type of medication can relieve rapid heart rate and nervousness.
Radioactive Iodine
Radioactive iodine is taken orally. It is then absorbed by the thyroid gland. Once there, it damages most of the thyroid cells. These cells can no longer produce thyroid hormones. Within days, the excess iodine passes out of the body in the urine or changes into a nonradioactive state. This treatment reduces the activity of the thyroid. Sometimes the treatment can decrease the thyroid levels too much. In this case, you will need to take a daily thyroid hormone replacement.
Thyroidectomy is uncommon for the treatment of hyperthyroidism. It will remove part or all of the thyroid. It may be an option when medical therapy fails.
After a thyroidectomy, you may need to take daily thyroid, calcium, or vitamin D supplements.
Eye Protection
If there are eye symptoms like dry red eyes or double vision, your doctor may prescribe:
- Eye protection before sleep
- Artificial tears
- Sunglasses
You may be referred to an eye specialist.

This is a tough puzzle, harder than the Brotosaurus in my opinion. After two years I have finally solved it. Whew!
You think you have figured this puzzle out but then you haven't. Progress can be made in steps, but still are not finished. I gave up trying to get the diamond off for a while and concentrated on getting a second diamond on. After some time, I succeeded. But now my puzzle has two diamonds on it and I can't get either off! Tricky. But obviously it is possible.

There are many options for AUD treatment. The type of treatment depends on individual needs and severity of AUD. The most important step is recognizing that a problem exists. Denial about amount of alcohol that is consumed and the effect on life is common.
There is no cure for AUD, treatment is aimed at managing the disease. A combination of medical, social, psychological, and behavioral approaches is often most effective. Most professionals also believe management means giving up alcohol completely and permanently. Relapse is common and part of the process, especially during times of stress.
Medical support may also be needed to safely manage withdraw from alcohol. This could require hospitalization in a detoxification center. If you have any underlying conditions with or caused by AUD, they will need to be managed as well.
The healthcare team is often made up of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, therapists, and other health professionals. It is important to maintain contact with the healthcare team and adhere to recommended treatment to help maintain sobriety.
Treatment for AUD involves:Lifestyle changesMedicationsOther treatments
Support and counseling is also available for family and friends of those with AUD. The counseling can provide support for those with loved ones who are in denial and education to help support those that are recovering.

Double Buckle Mary Jane Heel
The Fit Expert
Ali from our New York store says:
The Liz is great for wider feet, but please go up at least a half size! These little beauties have been running on the short side and mostly everyone has gotten a half size bigger then their true size.
The Liz Mary Janes are a delicious recipe combining the fit of The Hopeful Family, aniline leathers from The Mini Family, rubber soles from The Hope Family, and a modified 2.5" Wearever heel. They're so comfortable and stylish, that they were made in custom colours (grey and burgundy) as the official uniform shoe for all female flight attendants on Air Canada rouge! We challenge you to name another fashion shoe brand that is so dependable, it's been chosen to fly so high. With contrast piping, double buckles, and a new attitude, let The Liz be your sidekick on all your Fluevog adventures (in the air or on the ground).

Really wanted these to work
Another pair of Fluevog, another love story
Love these shoes!
Super cute & worth every penny
Liz, you're my lady!
My Favourite!
Love, with some reservations
Perfect fit for "Flintstone feet"
So adorable!
Can't Beat Teal Liz for Looks but...
Love Them!
Like gloves for your feet!
Listen to the advice on the sizing
I am in love!
Our story didn't start happy as I initially ordered them in a size 10, which is my standard size. I have a WIDE foot but since the toe box was big, I thought I would be fine. Within seconds of trying them on, I knew I needed a bigger size. It was fine in the width, just not the length. I would suggest ordering them a half to full size larger if you have a more sturdy foot :-)
So Cute!
You Don't Even Know You're Wearing Heels!
Boom Boom is Right!
I typically wear an 8, however, I purchased these in an 8.5 as per the reviews. The half size up was PUURRRFECT!
kitchy wowee
Love'em, but..
Another love affair
love the shoe making story
Yep, had to have them!
Kitschy Kitschy Boom Boom Boots please!
Amazing shoes
Like a red velvet cupcake for your feet
always get compliments!
Turning heads
The "making of" video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrCzbw_LgMg) is also really interesting and makes me love these even more.
Teeny Tiny Shoes
My best Vogs ever!
Definitely weird in fit, but desperately adorable
Cutest Shoes EVER!
Just damn!
Sizing is an impossible challenge
My favorite shoes!
When my TWO pairs arrived, and I put them on, I just burst into tears. Because these 12's would be perfect... if they weren't actually a size 11. I am so sad about this. It just sucks.
These shoes make me giggle
The color is darker than on site - a deep nautical teal. I'm usually an 8 in vogs, so ordered a 1/2 size up and they are perfect.
I'm always blown away by Vog quality, and how they master the art of making a high heel shoe comfortable and easy to walk in. So worth the $$$. I keep coming back for more.
Pure cuteness
LOVE them!
Thank you so much for a wonderful shoe!
I received them & was DEVASTATED they didn't fit width-wise. My husband convinced me to keep them so I stretched them in 3 separate sessions & they fit PERFECT!!
I LOVE the round toe box & rubber bottoms!! I work in a hospital & walk constantly & have had no issues. The first time I wore them to work, a co-worker from Spain complemented how stunning they were because his father made shoes & he knew quality. He said he'd have to get his wife some Flus. Now I wear them ALL THE TIME!!!! I want more like these. Please. :)
Fabulous Shoes
More Kitchy Kitchy Please!
Pretty in Pink
Love, but...
I love you Liz.
New Walking Shoes!
1/2 size up
Maybe I do like heels
Then I heard about Fluevog. Then I saw these. And then I needed a pair of shoes for my wedding. The one where I have to dress fancy but still want to be able to run around on the grass kicking a ball. So that was my excuse for these adorable teal shoes.
I went to the SF Union Square store and they were super friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the size 6.5 was a little too small and they were out of size 7s. And comfy! Comfy heels! Ten minutes later and I was ordering it online.
And now I am going to wear them before my wedding, because they are too fantastic to be boxed up.
Thanks for the lovely and happy soles.
The Surprise of Blue
So Comfy!
if price was lower i would recomend, but not until
Strange Fit
Based on advice from the store, I ordered a 10, which is a full size larger than my usual Fluevog size. When they arrived and I excitedly slipped them on my feet, I found that my toes were right up against the inside of the shoe, but I had a 3/4 inch gap at the back, causing them to slip when I walked. Also, these are a wide shoe (too wide for my average sized foot).
I think it's best to buy these in person so you can try various sizes and find the best fit. I've had to return mine.:-(
oddball sizing but great shoes
runs small? i don't think so...
New faves! (and they definitely fit small)
so sad these didn't work for me
I started with my normal 8.5 via online and was tooooo short (small), so took them back to Chicago. Bekki was fantastic and we ordered 9s... those were too small, too. Brought those back and ordered 9.5 ---- nope... still too small. So simply returned this one. Have never had such luck with Vogs before so not sure why these are running so small.
Rachel in Boston Rules!
Lucky 7
I wanted to much to love them...
I ordered them giddily, in anticipation of joining the ranks of Fluevoggers the world over who express such exquisite taste.
They arrived at my door, exuding in person all the aesthetic charm of their photographs.
However, the love affair came to an abrupt halt shortly thereafter.
I generally wear a size 11. Having seen some reviews that caution that Flues can run a bit short, I thought I'd play it safe by ordering the largest size available (which happened to be 12).
I even checked the box to have a size expert contact me prior to shipping (which, alas, never happened).
Sadly, it appears that a size 12 on planet Vog is not at all comparable with the rest of the known universe (at least, not with this particular craft).
I can put them on (such a cruel tease), but that's about it.
Walking, at least in their new state, was simply not an option.
Being that 12 seems to be the largest size in which one can purchase Flues for women, exchanging them was not a viable solution.
That has left me no other choice but to break out my trusty shoe stretchers and hope for the best.
I'm afraid there is no future for me in Vogland.
Like out of a fairy tale...
So cute
Double Your Fun!
Teal Heels!
Size-wise: My feet are wide in front, but I didn't have to go half a size up. Chad from Gastown helped me out over the phone; thank you for walking me through the measurements. Size 7 is perfect! (All I said was, "The Molly Johnson in 7 fits me")
My fiance is taking a bet that I can't last not wearing these until 2014.
Something new, something blue
Cuter than in the website pic!
The Cutest Shoes EVER!
Love at first wear
Call the Cuteness Cops
She said they're short in the toe box and when I told her I wear a nine in Minis, she said go with the 9.5. There is just a kiss of room in the toe(maybe for a sweet pair of socks or tights).
They're for my June wedding and I couldn't decide between the teal or the black with the luscious pink soles...
I went with the black! When I opened the newly designed swank box they came in, I swooned! I made the right choice! I do! I do! I do!
Adorable and Cozy

Herbert and Martha Coley are pleased to announce the marriage of their daughter Lillian to Joseph Nelson Jonas, son of Joseph and Annie Jonas. They were married 6 September 1916 in Logan, Cache, Utah at the LDS Temple. The photo above we think was taken around 1930 or so and is not a wedding photo.
Lillian was born the first child of ten to Martha Christiansen and Herbert Coley 26 August 1898 in Lewiston, Cache, Utah. Both Herbert and Martha were Mormon immigrants to Utah in the 1880's. Herbert and Martha both had native land accents from England and Norway respectively. Herbert was a diligent laborer who would acquire full ownership in their home by 1910. Martha was a strict and involved homemaker and mother.
Lillian grew up assisting her mother in maintaining the home, large garden, and raising younger siblings. By the the time she married, she had six younger children who were in the home (three more were yet to be born). When Lillian was born, the family lived in Lewiston. By 1910, the family had moved to Wheeler, Cache, Utah (or the 1900 Census did not have Wheeler broken from Lewiston). The Wheeler area is almost 6 miles directly to the west from Richmond, Cache, Utah as indicated by the link. We do not know where they lived in Wheeler.
By the time Lillian married Joseph, the family lived at roughly 1950 E 9000 N to the south and east of Richmond. The remainder of the cabin built by Herbert Coley was still in the middle of a cow pen in fall 2012 on the south side of the road, but was in pretty poor condition. Ellis Jonas took me there about 2002 and indicated the home to me as where they lived when he was a little boy. Martha moved in to town, Richmond, after Herbert passed away in 1946.
Joseph Nelson Jonas was the sixth of seven child born to Annetta Josephine Nelson and Joseph Jonas 19 November 1893 in or near Ellensburg, Kittitas, Washington. About 1896, Joseph's mother, Annie, went to the Eastern Washington Hospital for the Insane in Fancher, Spokane, Washington (she is listed as Ann J Jonas). She was in and out of hospitals throughout her life but as Joseph was one of the younger children, he would not have known his mother a little better.
Annie got out of the Eastern Washington Hospital 31 October 1899 and went home to Ellensburg and continued to be a handful for the family. The family on the 1900 Census in Cle Elum, Kittitias, Washington does not include Annie though and the census that year has Joseph Sr in both Cle Elum and Spokane about two weeks apart in June 1900. Annie's sister, Charlotte, visited in 1901. Due to Annie's mental and emotional state, and with Joseph Sr's approval, the whole Jonas family went to Utah to stay temporarily with Annie's brother, Nels August Nelson. Uncle August lived in Crescent, Salt Lake, Utah and the Jonas party arrived 3 July 1901 from Washington.
Joseph Sr for one reason or another went back to Washington with the youngest child Margaret. Nels suggested it was legal issues, it might have just been the farm that needed attention. Annie's issues were such that August and his wife, Fidelia, signed an affidavit of insanity and had her admitted to the Utah State Hospital 1 November 1901.
Joseph Sr had been raised as a Catholic and Annie Nelson had been raised LDS. Annie decided she did not like LDS men and wanted to marry a Gentile and did so. The children were raised Catholic in Washington. Now in Utah, Uncle August made sure the children learned about the LDS faith. The three boys elected to be baptized LDS on 10 January 1902 in Crescent by their Uncle August in an ice covered Jordan River. All three were confirmed 12 January 1902 by Jaime P Jensen. Rosa joined 6 February 1902, also in Crescent under the hand of Uncle August in a hole chipped in the Jordan River. Margaret did not join as she stayed near her father in Washington.
In 1904, Rosa married a boy, Christian Andersen, from Richmond. They married in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah. They moved to 137 E 100 S in Richmond. Joseph and his brothers resided with Uncle August until after their mother passed in 1907, then they would regularly and for prolonged periods stay with Rosa in Richmond. The 1910 Census lists Joseph at home in Crescent. Read more of Brother John Jonas.
Joseph attended Brigham Young College in Logan and graduated with his diploma 3 June 1915. We don't know much about his time at Brigham Young College but the story goes he wrestled with their team and did so very effectively. William, Joseph's brother, was apparently here at school during some overlapping periods. Joseph became well known for his love of gospel conversations. He was known for regularly discussing and even arguing the gospel with extra determination. No hard feelings developed due to his ardor in arguing since others would always agree to a handshake after a good debate.
Below is a copy of a picture believed to be from his graduation at BYC. I have not been able to find the original of this photo or a copy at Utah State University's archives where the Brigham Young College limited records are located (which are less than cooperative on letting me rummage through all the unknown photos).
In Richmond Joseph and Lillian met when Lillian's father, Herbert, hired Joseph to help harvest hay. It was within six months, according to the story, that they were married. The two were married 6 September 1916 in the Logan LDS Temple.
Joseph registered for the draft of World War I on 5 June 1917. When he registered, he indicated he was a laborer working for Olaf Neilson, the man who would later become a brother-in-law. He indicated he was taking care of his wife and father. He also indicated that his eyes were brown and his hair was brown. He is listed as short and stout. Here is his signature from that registration. According to his family, he stood about 5'6″ and was very muscular.
Joseph's father passed in Richmond in June 1917. Lillian gave birth to Joseph Herbert Jonas 14 August 1917 in Richmond.
In 1919, Joseph and his two siblings, Rosa and William, had all moved to Idaho. They operated a dry farm raising grain in Cleveland, Franklin, Idaho. Christian and Rosa, along with Joseph, did most of the work on the farm and lived about a mile apart. William taught at the school in Thatcher, Franklin, Idaho. The Andersen and Jonas families also kept cows, pigs, chickens, and a sizable garden. This is the only home Joseph and Lillian Jonas would together own. Joseph arrived with the cows in Thatcher on 1 April 1919. Lillian stayed in Richmond due to her pregnancy and while Joseph established the farm. Communications were slow because mail was held at Thatcher. Joseph and Lillian only heard from each other when Joseph made it in to Thatcher to pick up the mail or send a letter.
Spencer Gilbert Jonas was born 1 September 1919 in Richmond. Lillian and the two boys joined Joseph in Cleveland.
The 1920 Census found the Jonas family on 26 January 1920 living on the Cleveland Road outside of Thatcher.
Irwin John Jonas was born 2 September 1921 in Cleveland, but listed as Thatcher.
In 1923 or early 1924, the family then moved to Lewiston, Cache, Utah. The farm was not working out and he was able to obtain employment with the Utah-Idaho Central Railroad. Joseph worked on a section gang, just like his father had. The gang's job was to repair rotten timbers, hammering in spikes, tightening bolts, and maintaining the rail line. He worked 7 days a week, sometimes all night, coming home only after a shift was over.
The family lived in a boxcar that had its wheels removed. A ditch ran under a portion of their home. Another boxcar nearby was used as a storage shed. It was here 15 May 1924 that Wilburn Norwood Jonas was born. Ellis Seth Jonas arrived in this home 6 September 1926, their 10 year wedding anniversary.
Joseph kept a tub of furnace oil in the shed. It accidentally caught on fire and and Joseph immediately announced to Lillian that the storage shed would burn down and probably their home too. Joseph, known for being a bit of a prankster, was not believed by Lillian despite his insistence. Joseph ran back to the shed and picked up the burning tub of fuel and carried it outside the shed. While he saved the shed and his home, he found himself in Ogden for several weeks with 2nd and 3rd degree burns. A 9 February 1927 newspaper mention in the Ogden Standard Examiner tells of his being brought to the Dee Hospital on Tuesday the 8th for treatment of burns to the face.
In 1927, Joseph was promoted foreman and oversaw the Quinney line through Wheeler, Thaine, and ending at Quinney (now Amalga). Later, he accepted another foreman job and moved to the railroad town of Uintah, Weber, Utah where he lived in row housing. Here is a picture taken while living there.
Joseph filed for divorce 2 March 1929 claiming Lillian had deserted him. The article in the paper indicates they had not lived together since 20 February 1928. It was during this time on 4 September 1928 that Evan Reed Jonas was born in Ogden. The divorce was dismissed on 9 March 1929 due to the party's stipulation. Joseph again sued on 8 April 1929. He was ordered to pay $75 a month until the case was resolved. Joseph and Lillian had the case dismissed after they worked out their issues.
The family later moved into a comfortable home owned by the railroad at 102 17th Street in Ogden, Weber, Utah. It was a row house, but since he was Section Foreman, the only one with a porch. Joseph's father, Joseph, had also served as Section Foreman. Joseph's main responsibility dealt with the Huntsville and Plain City/Warren lines. During this time Joseph and Lillian became known as generous hosts where all visitors were always given more than enough to eat. Joseph prided himself on the vegetable garden they grew at this home.
On 6 November 1929 Lillian was hit and ran over by an automobile driven by Jack Mobley. It knocked her unconscious but she quickly regained consciousness. She spent the night in the hospital and was pretty seriously bruised and lacerated but suffered no broken bones. Joseph and Lillian admitted they were walking in the middle of the road when the accident occurred.
Joseph and Lillian continued active in the LDS church. Joseph regularly debated and discussed religion with others. He was also known to be strict in adherence to principles and expected his children to do the same. He was not afraid to "switch" his children when they got in trouble or disobeyed. One thing family members always commented about Joseph was his ability to remember and recall scripture in a conversation and discussion. Not only that, but when questioned to prove it, he was familiar enough with the book that within moments he could find the chapter and verse. His familiarity with the bible surprised many people, especially from a railroad laborer.
Lillian Annetta Jonas was born 15 July 1930 in Ogden. The 1930 Census found Joseph and Lillian at their home on 9 April 1930. The family was fairly comfortable, they could even afford some of the best appliances.
Joseph was especially glad to have a girl after six sons in a row.
Joseph and Lillian had a scare in 1931 when their son, Joseph, disappeared for a couple of weeks. He had been kidnapped by a Mr. J J Nelson and taken to Pocatello, Bannock, Idaho. He was finally recovered on 20 June 1931. The man was arrested after he beat young Joseph in public and the police determined Joseph was the missing boy from Ogden.
LeReta Mary Jonas was born 1 August 1932 in Ogden.
On Tuesday, 6 September 1932, a month after LeReta was born and on his 16th wedding anniversary, Joseph went to work as usual. Joseph knew the dangers of working on the railroad. It was near lunch time and his son, Norwood, was taking Joseph his lunch. Joseph saw Norwood and got down off a trolley near Lincoln and 20th Street, near the American Can Company plant. After getting off the trolley, he turned and walked toward Norwood and hit his head on a wire Mr. Child had strung down to do some welding. (Mr. Child was haunted by this episode the rest of his life because Joseph had warned him about the way he had hung the wire.) The shock knocked Joseph on his back unconscious and not breathing. Joseph died immediately but doctors worked on Joseph for over an hour. Lillian said Norwood was forever affected by the event. Joseph died at roughly 1:00 PM.
Here is a copy of the newspaper notice.
Here is the burial notice.
As a historical side note, here is the front of the train schedule Joseph had in his wallet at the time of his death.
The loss of Joseph dealt the family a hard blow not only with losing a family member, but it also lost them the company housing in which they were living. Lillian, at the mercy of family, moved immediately back to Richmond to be near her family. Lillian's father, Herbert Coley, was appointed administrator for Joseph's estate. The railroad paid out roughly $1,200 to Joseph's estate. The funeral, transport, and burial of the family cost Lillian $150. The estate did not begin making regular payments to Lillian until 1934. Until then, Lillian wrote to the railroad for assistance and help. The railroad was happy to provide passes for the family to travel. Unfortunately, the company quit handling company coal so they could not fulfill her requests but allowed the boys to have all the used railroad ties they wanted for firewood.
Fortunately, the money from the estate was enough to purchase a home for Lillian in Richmond from a Melvin & Bernetta Smith for $500. This gave Lillian a home to raise her children and less worry about providing for her family. The home was located on the north side of the road at roughly 65 E 400 S in Richmond, Utah. Herbert and Martha, Lillian's parents, lived across the street, but their home was a good couple hundred feet from the road.
Lillian made good effort to raise six unruly, now fatherless, boys and two girls. At Joseph's death, the children were ages 15, 13, 11, 8, 6, 4, 2, and 1 month. The Jonas brood were known for being a bit coarse and boisterous as the years went on. Only a few years would pass before the children would start marrying.
Joseph married Hilma Grace Erickson 17 June 1936 in Logan.
Spencer married Viola "Jimmie" Amelia Cole 5 August 1938 in Farmington, Davis, Utah.
Irwin joined the army 6 July 1939 and immediately left for training. He eventually married Mary Elizabeth Popwitz 17 June 1943 in Rochester, Olmsted, Minnesota.
Evan married Lona Rae Jensen 15 March 1946 in Elko, Elko, Nevada.
Norwood married Colleen Mary Andra 27 September 1946 in Elko.
Ellis married Geraldine Pitcher 17 August 1947 in Elko.
LeReta married Lowell Hansen Andersen 19 March 1948 in Logan.
Lillian married Ray Laurence Talbot 16 August 1948 in Ogden.
Lillian spent the new few years in an empty home. She knew Lorenzo "Ren" Bowcutt over the years. She accepted his offer of marriage and they were married 12 June 1953 in Preston, Franklin, Idaho.
At the time of her marriage to Ren, she had 22 grandchildren, 21 living.
Ren passed away 5 April 1966 in Logan (born 12 May 1883 in Honeyville, Box Elder, Utah). Ren was buried in Riverside, Box Elder, Utah.
She lived in the same home until the early 1980's when she moved in with her daughter Lillian in Layton.
Lillian died 11 February 1987 in Davis Medical Center, Layton, Utah. She was almost 88.5 years old. She was buried beside her husband (55 years later) in Richmond 16 February 1987.
