This is a post I've been promising for a good year now, and one I sat down to write dozens of times. I guess it just had to wait until I was ready!
There was a lot of debate last year about whether or not my philosophy of radical self-acceptance was really healthy. Shouldn't we try to improve ourselves? If we are overweight, shouldn't we lose the weight? Is self-acceptance just complacency in disguise?
I wanted to reveal my own struggles with this issue in more detail many times in order to help readers understand where I was coming from and why I am so committed to radical self-acceptance. But it took a long time to work up the guts to write about it. However, I finally did it! Here's my story:
As a child, I was lean, strong and active. I thank my lucky stars that I was born just before computers and cable TV and so playing outside or reading were really the only two options a child had for fun. I bicycled, ran, jumped, swam and climbed in our SoCal neighborhood and liked to think of myself as the strongest, fastest girl in my class.
It is amazing to me how quickly things changed. At 10, when I was in 5th grade, I began to gain weight and honestly, I looked like a chicken nugget – oval, with little round bits here and there. I suddenly felt stuck to the earth and had pains in my knees and ankles. I developed asthma and lost my speed and any desire I had once had to be active. There was a clique of very popular girls in the 6th grade at my school who made fun of me when we played baseball during PE. They called me Slowpoke, Fatty, and Little Pig. That was the first time I started feeling ashamed of my body. (Don't we all have a moment like that? What a shame.)
At 12, all my chicken nugget fat quite suddenly relocated and left me looking like a 21-year-old. That year, my family moved from SoCal to Albuquerque – a major culture shock for me. I had spent almost all my childhood in sheltered private schools and suddenly, I found myself in a huge, public middle school where I was one of four blondes in the entire 7th grade.
The girls there either loved me or hated me – there was nothing in between, and those who loved me didn't tend to love me for long. The boys were the worst, though. It started with the boy whose locker was underneath mine. He would literally slide down the hall like a baseball player in order to land between my legs so he could look up my skirt. I remember the first time this happened, I was so shocked and ashamed. I yelped and looked to my female neighbor for help and she just shrugged and said, "Typical Bobby. He always pulls that crap." Her reaction taught me that I wasn't supposed to make a big deal of it, so I learned to hold my knees tight together when at my locker and to try to ignore Bobby.
As time went on, though, things got worse. Another boy who shared a class with me would wait for me in the hall, run up behind me, grab my bra strap and snap it against my back. I tried so hard to be tough that I would yell at him and chase him into our classroom, only to get in trouble with the teacher. There was also a group of boys who rode my bus who would corner me in the halls and grab either my sweater or my boots, wrangle them off me, and run through the halls throwing my stolen clothes or shoes over their heads, laughing as they went.
I started "going steady" with someone that year, but promptly broke it off when he made it clear he wanted to start kissing. I wasn't ready for that, and was very honest about it. After we broke up, he told all his friends, and when I got on the bus, they'd chant, "Prude! Prude! Prude!"
In class, other boys caught on to the bra snapping gig, which seemed infinitely more appealing to them, once I had been labeled a prude. One boy, who had verbally bullied me for months once snapped my bra so hard that it left a welt on my back. He even had the gumption to do this during class. I was so fed up that I turned around and slapped him across the face as hard as I could. I was stunned when he slapped my face right back. And guess who got in trouble for that one? Yep, me.
Outside of school was just as confusing. I was often hit on by men in their twenties, thirties and even forties. At the time, I was convinced that they just thought I was in my twenties and didn't realize I was only 12. Of course, I look back now and wonder…maybe they did know…
As you can imagine, by that point, my body was nothing but a source of pain and confusion. I had this feeling of wanting to be liked and thought of as desirable. Yet I also saw that the result of being considered desireable was that I had no control over my body – it became public property.
My parents came in and talked to the principal, who said, "Boys will be boys." After that, I started moving from one school to the next, sometimes three in one school year, in order to try to avoid the sexual harassment and bullying.
Five schools later, in 10th grade, I was at a public high school that scared the crap out of me. It was the biggest school I'd ever attended and there were kids there who looked like they were 30 years old and could beat me to death. It was there that I learned how to become invisible.
From my past experience, it seemed that being thin and pretty were two guaranteed ways to draw unwanted attention to oneself. So I remedied that by wearing my father's old jeans and button-down shirts every day (which were hugely baggy on me) and not wearing makeup. I felt that I had no control over what happened to me in the outside world, so I countered that by developing some dangerous eating habits. I would nearly starve myself all day long, from morning until 4PM, and when I was finally free of school for the day, I would binge. My favorite binge foods were four toaster waffles or three steak burritos, both of which my parents often bought from Price Club. Three hours later, I'd have a big dinner and hefty dessert. I gained about 30 pounds during this time.
By 19, I had moved to Oregon with my family and after four more years of bullying, social isolation and school problems, I was a mess. My beloved uncle died unexpectedly that year of a hereditary heart problem and I became so overwhelmed with fear and anxiety that my eating problems reached a whole new level, elevating me another 10 pounds. I went to the gynecologist for the first time that year, about 40 pounds overweight (though being 5'7", I didn't *look* that heavy) and my doctor told me I was obese and that if I didn't immediately lose the weight, I would die of a heart attack. After having just lost my uncle so unexpectedly, I freaked out more and gained yet another 10 pounds.
At 23, my health problems were getting pretty bad and I decided to try a vegan diet. Back then, there were no vegan packaged foods, no fake meats, nothing. I basically ate beans, bread, rice and veggies. I lost at least 50 pounds in about a month, and this weight loss triggered an immense panic in me. I found ways to "veganize" desserts and started baking and eating sweets nonstop. I got to the point where I was hiding cookies and candies in my closet and eating 10-15 servings of dessert foods in one sitting. Then I would spend five or six hours a day working out, in a desperate attempt to keep from gaining the weight back. As you can imagine, the rest of my life stopped. There was no college, no friends, no dating, no job. Nothing but eating and working out.
I was so out of control that I couldn't even contain my emotions. I was constantly crying and breaking down in front of my mother and sister, begging them to tell me how to stop myself from behaving that way. Finally, my whole family confronted me with an intervention. My parents wanted to send me to an eating disorder camp and I was so lost that I agreed to go. I knew I needed help. However, they could not find a place that would accept anyone who didn't have anorexia or bulimia, so we settled on plain old therapy.
At this point, the story simply becomes one of a young woman who spent her early adulthood in recovery, working through years and years of you-know-what (many more incidents that I didn't mention here for the sake of brevity). And I'm still in recovery, hence why I write about this subject so often.
The reason I decided to write about this is simply to explain why I am so adamant that we accept ourselves just the way we are now. No cheating ("I accept myself, but I still want to lose weight," or "I accept myself, but I wish I was thinner"). No mind games, no word games, no attempts to be politically correct while, on the inside, we are running the same story.
This is what I learned from my history with eating problems:
ONE: We really don't have control over the way we look. (We like to think we do, but we don't.)
TWO: It's a waste of time to fret about our appearance.
THREE: We will never ever ever find that perfect weight. There will always be something else we think we need to do to improve the way we look. If it's not our weight, then it's our hair, our skin, our ____.
FOUR: The more we withhold love from ourselves, the more we withhold from others and the more we miss out on life.
There's a lot more to all this, of course (most of which I've written about in past RtL posts), but this is the gist. In the near future, I'll be posting about how I did on the RtL Challenge last year. In the meantime, what is your story? What keeps you from total self-acceptance?

text: 'Farmland' Documentary Trailer Unveiled At FFA Convention Feature length documentary expected to be released in spring, 2014 Published on: Nov 1, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Following up on a project first announced in March, documentary filmmaker James Moll has released an advance trailer and website for his latest film, Farmland, which focuses on the daily lives of the next generation of farmers and ranchers. The film, which follows producers in their 20s and 30s from across the U.S., gives viewers a firsthand glimpse into modern agriculture. The film was made with support from the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance. USFRA's Katie Pratt, a "Faces of Farming and Ranching" winner, unveiled the trailer Thursday night during the third general session of the 86th annual National FFA Convention and Expo. Projected digital download availability for the full-length film is next spring. Until then, the advance trailer can be viewed on the film's website, along with more information about the film and full-color photos from its production.Feature length documentary expected to be released in spring, 2014 Moll, who noted earlier this spring that he didn't know much about the farming and ranching community prior to researching it for the film, said the film is about a way of life. "I make documentaries because it's a thrill to explore new topics and meet people that I might not otherwise cross paths with," Moll said in a press statement. "While making Farmland, I found myself immersed in a community of some of the most hard working, passionate people I've ever met. This film isn't just about what it's like to be a farmer, it's about a way of life. It's also about a subject that affects our lives daily." Moll is an Oscar-winning filmmaker who has directed and produced numerous documentaries covering topics from the Holocaust to an epic trek across the Sahara Desert, teaming up with Matt Damon and Steven Spielberg along the way. View the trailer at the film's website, www.farmlandfilm.com.

Founded under the name of Medhlan by the Celtic people, Milan was captured by the Romans in 222BC and became very successful under the Roman Empire. Later it was ruled by the Visconti, the Sforza, the Spanish in the 16th century and the Austrians in the 18th century. Conquered by Napoleon 1 in 1796, he made Milan the capital of his Kingdom of Italy in 1805. During World War 2 the city was bombed by the Allies and, after German occupation in 1943, Milan became the hub of the Italian resistance. Since the War, Milan has prospered, becoming the world's 26th richest region by purchasing power. Today it is Italy's main industrial and financial centre.
Milan is ideal for city breaks - not just for the sights but also for simply taking part in the chic lifestyle full of pleasure… shopping, dining, nightlife, enjoying world class opera and even the football. The Lombard metropolis is very well known for top brand fashion houses and shops. The magnificent and colossal Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, filled with luxurious shops such as Armani, Ferragamo, Gucci and Prada, is reputed to be the world's oldest shopping mall. Milan hosts some of Italy's finest cultural, educational and artistic institutions. The home of composer Verdi, Milan is well known for theatres, museums, universities, palaces and churches. Teatro Alla Scala is considered to be one of the world's most prestigious opera houses. Other things to do in Milan include enjoying famous local dishes such as the Panettone Christmas cake and Risotto alla Milanese.
Key Milan tourist attractions include: The Duomo Cathedral and Piazza, the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie (featuring Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper), Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the impressive Castello Sforzesco and world renowned opera house, Teatro Alla Scala
Milan is located in Northern Italy in the Padan Plain, 122 metres above sea level. The climate is temperate and typical of inland Italy.
Milan has many hidden delights, testifying to the city's dramatic history. Seen as a modern city due to extensive bombing in World War 2, there are still numerous architectural gems you can discover on your Milan city break. Start with the most important example of Gothic architecture in Italy: The Duomo Cathedral, the 4th largest cathedral in the world. It hosts the world's largest collection of marble statues. In the 14th and 15th centuries the Sforza family enlarged and embellished the old Visconti fortress, creating the Castello Sforzesco. Renaissance architecture influenced Milanese building, such as the Santa Maria Delle Grazie and Santa Maria presso San Satiro. Maria Theresa of Austria created numerous significant buildings such as the Teatro alla Scala in 1778. Under Napoleon, there was a strong neoclassical influence; many buildings and edifices were created included the Villa Reale (home to Josephine Bonaparte). In the 19th century, now with the status of a major industrial city, Milan drew inspiration from other European capitals and created monumental buildings such as the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, named after the first King of united Italy. The Stazione Centrale train station was built in the 20th century, where Art Deco and the Fascist style of architecture are evident.
Supermodels, fashion aficionados and the international paparazzi flock to Milan in the Spring and Autumn for the fashion fairs. Il Salone Exibition celebrates Italian design, art and culture every April.
Visiting and travelling around the city to see Milan's tourist attractions is easy. Five major train stations include high-speed lines to Bologna, Florence, Rome, Naples and Turin. The local public transport system includes the Milan Metro and trams, trolley-bus and bus lines. There are also taxis. Milan also has two airports: Linate within the city and Malpensa International 50km away (connected via an Express railway service). Orio al Serio airport near Bergamo, is also useful for visiting Milan.

Why are the pictures taken with GOOGLE GOGGLES so much better than when using standard camera on DROID?
Why are the pictures taken with GOOGLE GOGGLES so much better than when using standard camera on DROID?
I would have to agree... just as I read this post i pulled out my droid,,
opened up the camera and turned the flash off and set the camera to auto.. I sit here in a dimly lit room and took a picture of my black keyboard, with the standard camera it was very dark, and none of the white letters even showed up on the keyboard.
then I opened up google goggles, snapped the same exact picture, and bam clear as a bell.. it was still a bit dark, but much much lighter than the other pic and this one looked crisp and you could make out the letters...
My guess, is that the hardware is capable of so so much better pictures,
and the auto setting has a poor abillity to control the lightness or darkness,
and the shutter speed is too slow..
in the action mode, the shutter speed is quite nice, and it makes it easy to take a snappy of my kids as they run around in the room with no blur. but no autofocus, and no flash in this mode..
I would think that this is all software, and wonder if someone could write and compile a whole new camera app? or just tear the stock camera app apart and rebuild it?
I think, that better ambient light sensing in the auto mode would be amazing,,
and adding the abillity to use the flash and autofocus in action mode would be twice as amazing as well as ambient light sensing in this mode too.,
I know that even at 5mp this camera is not ever even going to get close to replacing my real camera, but it has the abillity to be a whole lot better than it is now,,, the hardware is there, the problem is that the software, just adjusts the darn light down too dark, and the shutter is too slow, and sometimes the focus isnt that great even after the 2.01.
So Motorola/google if your listening. give us the camera quality we all want and deserve
a digital camera that is 3.2 Megapixel is capable of taking a Very sharp 8x10 So the 5 mg Droid is Capable of taking very nice pictures...
any way to improve the "view finder" in low light situations ??
it almost like ya have to guess at what you are shooting at because you can't see prior to the flash going off....
I have found the best pictures come from using the shutter 'button' that is actually on the touchscreen. Once that is hit the camera does everything else automatically. Your only job is to keep the camera/phone in a stable condition. They shouldn't have even put the gold colored shutter button on the side of the phone as it is almost impossible to keep the camera/phone in a stable condition while also trying to wait for it to focus and then finally push the button to snap the picture. Picture quality using the touchscreen format is crystal clear and the zoom function of the pictures is also excellent.
WARNING: DROID ownership may cause some individuals to feel more important than they are!

Quantified StockTwits messages are flashing a sell signal for gold (GLD). After advancing for three months with support from the StockTwits stream GLD has turned over at a long term trend line for price. The reversal in price was preceded by a negative divergence from StockTwits that lasted a month. Now support from the StockTwits community has broke the confirming up trend in support. This creates the sell signal and increases the odds that GLD will at least consolidate in the near term and possibly resume its long term down trend.
Counter Trend Bounce Signal Ends for Randgold Resources
The counter trend bounce signal issued for Randgold Resources on 10/20/13 has ended as of last Friday. As I mentioned in the initial post, price traded higher after the signal, but was a failure (loss of -1.37%) from the bounce signal to closing it last Friday. Sentiment is still running high for the precious metals even though price continues to make new lows.
Counter Trend Bounce Signals for Silver and Randgold Resources
For all you precious metals fans, sorry I missed a counter trend bounce signal for the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) on 10/16/13. I saw it on Friday (10/18/13) so the chart is marked as such. Sentiment for Randgold Resources (GOLD) issued a counter trend bounce signal at the close on Friday (10/18/13). Sentiment generated from the Twitter stream has painted a positive divergence with price as it made a lower low and has subsequently broken the down trend line that was confirming the move into the last low. The fact that both SLV and GLD are issuing counter trend bounce signals adds a bit of weight to the possibility for a bounce in the entire precious metals space. As you know I don't like to trade stocks in a down trend. For those of you that do please be aware of one thing. Although the counter trend bounce signals in the precious metals have almost always seen higher prices after the signal. Most of them were failures over the course
Gold Shares Sending Mixed Signals
A couple of weeks ago I posted charts of precious metals with their Twitter sentiment indicators. In that post I concluded that "precious metals need a bounce right here or we're probably seeing the resumption of the longer term down trend." Gold and gold stocks didn't get the bounce and subsequently broke back below their 50 day moving averages. This increases the odds that a continuation of the down trend is underway. There is a silver lining though. Sentiment hasn't broken down too badly with price. Although the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) smoothed sentiment broke its uptrend line, it has turned back up at a point that is still confirming the move out of the June lows. This puts GLD back in a position that it once again needs to bounce right here. Market Vectors Gold Miner Shares ETF (GDX) has a much healthier chart and sentiment pattern. GDX is still holding its uptrend line for price that started with the June lows. Smoothed sentiment barely dipped below its
Precious Metals Need a Bounce
During the rally out of the late June low the gold ETF I track (GLD) has had confirmation from sentiment generated from the Twitter stream. Smoothed sentiment has had a good uptrend that has held on dips. It's currently coming back to the trend line and attempting to turn up even as price has fallen over the past few days. This is a good sign, but GLD needs to bounce right here or there will be a high probability for a resumption of the down trend. Another factor that may bring heavy selling if a bounce doesn't materialize is that GLD is sitting right on its 50 day exponential moving average. A break below that level will almost certainly trigger some stops. The gold shares ETF that I track (GDX) has a stronger sentiment pattern than GLD. Smoothed sentiment had a large positive divergence from the hard break down in price in April to the break down in June. Since that time sentiment has held its upward sloping (and confirming)
Twitter Sentiment Confirming Gold Move
A quick update on precious metals today. We didn't get a counter trend bounce signal from Twitter sentiment for any of the precious metals before the current rally. This was because we didn't see good positive divergences from price before the move started. Now that the metals are rallying we're seeing confirmation of the move from Twitter sentiment that is painting higher lows and higher highs. Sentiment isn't extremely over extended yet, but is getting near levels that might suggest a pull back is necessary before the metals can move higher. Below are charts of GLD, GDX, and Randgold Resources (GOLD). Notice that sentiment for Randgold is starting to paint a negative divergence from price as it nears the underside of the 200 day moving average. This is another indication that a pull back in precious metals may occur. A break of the uptrend in smoothed sentiment for Randgold would create an official sell signal for the stock (or consolidation warning if you believe it is in an uptrend). I'll
Gold Shares Showing Strength
We're finally starting to see some hopeful signs for gold (GLD) and gold stocks (GDX). In our last update we mentioned that the chasing of precious metals by traders had stopped and that we'd finally got some capitulation in sentiment (calculated from the Twitter stream). This was the first thing we were looking for in order to create an environment where gold could create a durable low. Now we have our second piece of good news. Twitter sentiment for GDX is signaling that it is ready to attempt a counter trend bounce. This signal is created by the positive divergence between smoothed sentiment and price which subsequently broke above the prevailing down trend in sentiment (green line on the chart below). Volume on the recent low compared to the April low is also suggesting that GDX is trying to bottom. The high volume sell off in April forced weak holders of GDX to capitulate. In addition, it caused fear even among long term holders. This relieves some of the overhead
Gold and Gold Stocks Trying to Bottom
We haven't done an update on gold and gold stocks since the end of February. The reason for this is that their charts have been broken. As technicians we look at price, volume, trend, strength, sentiment etc. to help us determine the likely path of a security. But, when price breaks down hard it skews the chart pattern so badly that the most important component for technical analysis (price) becomes of little value (other than the obvious message that the stock is broken). As a result, all we can do is wait for enough time to pass for the stock to reassert a readable pattern. Finally we're starting to see a trickle of information from precious metals charts. In early February when GLD was trading above 160 and bouncing against the underside of its short term down trend line we gave up almost all bullish hope for the metal. By the 13th of February we stated that if GLD traded back down to 150 that "GDX will almost certainly break
Precious Metals Update
In the first week of February did an update on precious metals and stated that we were "getting concerned that gold stocks are going to renew their down trend". Then two weeks ago we reiterated our pessimism due to the lack of tweets talking about being buyers of gold stocks. As we look at the charts again today we're even less hopeful than before. Gold (GLD) had a small bounce above the $150 level and now appears to be ready to break it. Since the first of the year our Twitter sentiment indicator for GLD has mirrored the movement in price. This tells us that traders and investors alike are confused and are simply chasing price. When traders are making "rational" judgements about the future prospect of a security sentiment plots its own path. Short term traders often take profits on bounces and buy on dips, which shows up in our sentiment indicator as divergences from price near turning points. When market participants are confident in the direction of a
Make or Break Time for Gold
It's make or break time for gold (GLD) and gold stocks (GDX). We mentioned last week that we weren't very optimistic for precious metals based on the extended down trend, the break of medium term up trend lines, and the consolidation of GDX below a longer term down trend line. GLD has held up better, but it now appears that it is resuming its downtrend. We mentioned that if $160 was broken then $150 would most likely be back in play. Well, $160 broke yesterday and today we got a close below it again. Meanwhile GDX in in the $41 area visiting the lows from last July. This just isn't a good situation for precious metals shares. If GLD revisits $150 then GDX will almost certainly break below $39 in a very sharp and very ugly way. There are a few positives. GLD is still above the up trend line from last May's lows. Smoothed Twitter sentiment for GLD has a small positive divergence with price (even though the

For the price this is an absolutely beautiful place. The rooms are gorgeous and there is lots of great shared spaces to relax. My only complaint was the service. It took aver an hour to check in as the main manager was not there, and his staff had no clue how to help us. This happens often as we saw many others having the same problem on our two night stay. It was the same upon check out, alot of confusion and waiting. If you have a family or group of people and need a kitchen, I would recommend this place. If your looking for a quick stop I would avoid the hassle of checking in and out and stay elswhere."
Very cute/clean b&b at reasonable drivable distance from Cape Town (V&A Waterfront) and very good price. Nice view of ocean and Table Mountain from adjacent balcony (not from room as only 2 rooms face the ocean). As 2 women traveling we felt very safe even when out after dark (as it was winter season and darkness game early). Staff were very welcoming and rooms cozy. Private washrooms were great and in room safe was a real bonus. Breakfast was good but would recommend bakeries or cafes near by (cheaper and better selection). TV in room and wifi available for low cost .. Would highly recommend! Staff were very accommodating.. Warm packs were also prepared every night for guests to stay warm during chilly winter months. Complimentary hot beverages we also delivered to the room every morning at time requested. Loved our stay!"
Great location, right at the center of Sandton, 5 min walk to Sandton city, Mandela sq. very good breakfast, 100M free wifi, comfort room, clean, friendly stuff. was my second time and will get back to this hotel on future business trips."
The location of this hotel is perfect as it is walking distance from the Gautrain Station. The hotel itself is brand new and very comfortable, the food is excellent and service is of a very high standard. I would certainly recommend this hotel."
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Protea Parktonian. The rooms are thoroughly cleaned, the service exceptional and the breakfast to die for.The only thing I think the hotel management should look at is the pool maintenance. Wanted to take a dip during my stay, but wasnt encouraged by the sediments in the water. However the view from the roof where the pool is located is simply spectacular."
We had a plesant stay with the lads. Its a great hotel but a make over would make it regain its glory. Rooms were clean and fresh save for the carperting in the corridors! I have always argued against carperting in Africa its so hot and its an overkill!"
It was great,but guests need a refregerator and internet in the rooms.I was disappointed about that."
Friendly helpful staff, comfortable accommodation. Only adverse comment- the roast beef in the restaurant the night we ate there must have been the toughest bit of old trek-ox in the business. A big disappointment! Choose something else!"
The stay was good. The hotel was good. However Tourists should prefer Kruger to Pilannesburg. The density of Animals in Pilanesburg is much lower than Kruger. However hotel stay was very pleasant. Food for Veg is a problem"
If you are too far away from kruger national park, pilanesberg national park is a great alternative and Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge is right on the edge of the Park. I took a Half board stay so Dinner and Breakfast was part of the Price (which was higher than I am usually willing to pay… only stayed one day to take advantage of the free Safari ride). I am not sure if it is offered all the time but the Safari ride was part of the price as well. Food was good Safari ride was a bust but for $10 US (R90) I went in with my rental and was able to find a Rhino and Elephant the two I wanted to see… I saw pretty much everything but the Lion, hard to see the Lion, quite a bit of High Grass… Plenty of Wildebeests, Zebras, and Giraffes though. All-in-All, great place though you may want to take part of your Vacation over to the Sun City hotel…"
Our room was clean , comfortable and attractive. view from our balcony was spectacular! Every staff member was highly professional and made us feel safe while so near to lions, rhinos, hippos and elephants. the food was quite delicious and plentiful. Staff was informative, friendly and always eager to help. I hated to leave and will always have fond memories of Tshukudu Lodge."

USA Luge Slider Search hits four major cities this spring looking for future stars | Apr 9, 2014
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. - How do members of the U.S. National Luge Team get their start in the Fastest Sport on Ice? It's through the USA Luge Slider Search, now in its 29th year, which targets boys and girls ages 9 to 13. Young athletes who want to experience the thrill of luge and train under the guidance of USA Luge national team coaches and athletes can do so when the Slider Search rolls into select cities this spring. "The Slider Search is a key program for our organization," said Fred Zimny, recruitment manager for USA Luge and U.S. Olympic Committee Coach of the Year in 2000. "We look forward to giving enthusiastic youngsters the chance to have fun, experience the sport and perhaps qualify for our Junior Development Team." Slider Search clinics will take each day from 9-11 a.m, 12-2 p.m. and 3-5 p.m. Participants can register for the clinic of their choice and all clinics are free. Plus, all participants will receive a free USA Luge t-shirt, courtesy of Pilot Chemical. Clinics are filling quickly, so register today for a chance to begin what could be the start of your Olympic journey. Here is the schedule for the 2014 Slider Search: New York City April 26 & 27 Crocheron Park 35th Avenue Bayside, Queens, N.Y. Washington, D.C.

During a Slider Search clinic, USA Luge coaches and athletes teach youngsters the basics of riding a luge sled, including position, steering and stopping. Armed with the basics, the young athletes make several runs down a paved street on wheeled sleds. Those who show the most promise at the clinics are invited to train in Lake Placid, N.Y. or Park City, Utah and will be considered for selection to the U.S. Junior Development Luge Team. The Slider Search is among the programs supported by the Citi Every Step of the Way® program, which benefits the next generation of U.S. Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls and athletes of all ages in communities across the country. The program supports U.S. Olympic, Paralympic and Community Programs that inspired Team Citi athletes, including 2014 Olympic bronze medalist Erin Hamlin, on their journeys from ambition to achievement. To learn more about the program, visit https://everystep.citi.com/ . USA Luge uses the Slider Search as its primary means of athlete recruitment. U.S. Luge athletes have captured over 600 international medals since 1994. Included in that total are silver and bronze medals during the 1998 and 2002 Winter Games, bronze in the Sochi Winter Games, 26 World Cup victories, four overall World Cup doubles crowns, 18 Junior World Championship titles and 12 World Championship medals.
Hamlin voted Best Female Olympian, Wins Best in US Award, Read her reaction | Apr 2, 2014
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The United States Olympic Committee today announced the Sochi 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games honorees for Best of U.S., a new awards program that recognizes outstanding performances from the Olympic and Paralympic Games, as determined by fan vote. The Best of U.S. Awards Show will air April 7 on NBCSN from 7-8 p.m. ET. For Olympic sport, slopestyle snowboarder Sage Kotsenburg (Park City, Utah) was named Best Male Olympian, luge athlete Erin Hamlin (Remsen, N.Y.) was selected Best Female Olympian, the U.S. ice dancing team of Meryl Davis (West Bloomfield, Mich.) and Charlie White (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) was honored as Team of the Games, and Noelle Pikus-Pace (Orem, Utah) took home the award for Moment of the Games with her medal celebration in women's skeleton. "I'm pretty much in awe," said Hamlin after the announcement. "It's so amazing to not only get a medal, but then be honored because of it, especially with the company I had in the female athlete category. And to have it be a fan vote for a sport like luge is amazing for our program. I can't begin to say how excited I am. Such a crazy couple of months." Meanwhile on the Paralympic side, alpine skier Mark Bathum (Mercer Island, Wash.) was tabbed Best Male Paralympian, alpine skier Stephanie Jallen (Harding, Pa.) collected two awards for Best Female Paralympian and Moment of the Games, and the men's sled hockey team was designated Team of the Games. Additionally, Horace Mann Elementary School (West Allis, Wis.) took home the Fan of the Games award, while figure skating coach Kori Ade was selected as the recipient of the USG Building Dreams Award, which honors an individual who has gone above and beyond in his/her support of Team USA athletes. The 10 awards were presented during a live taping of the inaugural Best of U.S. Awards Show supported by USG, held April 2 at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C. The awards show featured NBC's Willie Geist as host, and figure skaters and commentators Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski as red carpet and backstage correspondents. Best Male Olympian: Sage Kotsenburg After landing a trick he had never before attempted, Kotsenburg earned the first gold medal of the Sochi Games in the inaugural Olympic slopestyle snowboarding event. He scored a 93.50 when he landed a 1620 Japan with an air mute grab – a move that he invented and nicknamed the "Holy Crail." His win marked the first time a U.S. athlete secured the first gold medal of the Games since 1952. Best Female Olympian: Erin Hamlin With a bronze-medal finish, Hamlin became the first-ever U.S. Olympic medalist in singles luge. The results were even more impressive considering the 2009 world champion had not stood on a world cup podium in two years. Her performance also broke a 34-year German/Austrian hold on the women's luge Olympic podium. Team of the Olympic Games: Meryl Davis and Charlie White Davis and White captured the first U.S. ice dancing gold medal and captained Team USA to the bronze medal in the inaugural figure skating team event. The duo, which has been skating together for the last 17 years, set world-record scores in the short dance, free dance and total. Moment of the Olympic Games: Noelle Pikus-Pace's medal celebration After a career altered by injury and a fourth-place finish at the Vancouver Games in 2010, Pikus-Pace's husband encouraged her to give her Olympic dream one more shot. With her family by her side, Pikus-Pace won the silver medal in skeleton with a four-run time of 3:53.86. The 31-year-old mother of two celebrated the victory with her husband and children, who were waiting at the finish line. Best Male Paralympian : Mark Bathum, Alpine Skiing Bathum, along with guide Cade Yamamoto, landed on the podium twice in the men's visually impaired alpine skiing competition at the Sochi Games. His wins include silver medals in the super-G and the super combined events. Best Female Paralympian : Stephanie Jallen, Alpine Skiing Jallen won a bronze medal in her first-ever Paralympic competition – the women's super-G standing event. She also won a second bronze in the women's super combined standing event. Team of the Paralympic Games: Men's U.S. Paralympic Sled Hockey Team The U.S. men's sled hockey team claimed the first-ever back-to-back Paralympic sled hockey gold medals win in the history of the Games with its 1-0 win against Russia. Moment of the Paralympic Games: Stephanie Jallen winning bronze in her first Paralympic race Jallen had an outstanding performance in her first-ever Paralympic race, earning a bronze medal in the women's super-G standing event. Her excitement was contagious at the finish, as she and teammates rejoiced with pure joy. Fan of the Games: Horace Mann Elementary Stephanie Ticali's second- and third-grade students from Horace Mann Elementary in West Alllis, Wis., were selected Team USA's biggest supporters from the Sochi Games. The school is part of Classroom Champions, a program that connects Olympic athletes with students across the country and motivates them to set goals, play fair and recognize their potential. Drawing on inspiration from athlete mentor Erin Hamlin, the students learned that hard work, perseverance and healthy living are among the building blocks to a successful future. USG Building Dreams Award: Kori Ade Ade has dedicated 14 years to developing 2014 U.S. Olympic figure skater Jason Brown into a world-class competitor, guiding him through the junior ranks to his first Olympic appearance in Sochi, where he contributed to Team USA's bronze medal and placed ninth in the men's competition. A true mentor, Ade encouraged and challenged Brown to achieve his full potential – both on and off the ice. In addition, Ade is the founder of CitySkate Outreach, which focuses on helping professional skaters transition into coaching careers in the Chicagoland area. About the Best of U.S. The United States Olympic Committee created the Best of U.S awards program in 2014 to recognize outstanding performances from the Olympic and Paralympic Games. All athlete award winners were selected by fan voting, while the USG Building Dreams and Fan of the Games awards were selected by a committee comprised of Olympic and Paralympic family members.

Results, photos and interviews from day two of the 2014 Norton Junior Seeding/National Championships | Mar 30, 2014
The 2014 Norton Junior National Championships and Seeding Race #2 LAKE PLACID, N.Y. – First-time winners were crowned in three disciplines at the 2014 Norton Junior National Championships held March 29-30 at the Olympic Sports Complex in Lake Placid, N.Y. The competition featured the nation's best athletes born in 1994 or after. Roswell, Ga. Native Raychel Germaine won the gold medal with a four-run combined time of 3 minutes, 1.127 seconds to win the first major national title in her career. Germaine, a member of the USA Luge's Junior National Team, also competed in the 2012 Youth Olympic Games, where she finished 14th. Raychel is the daughter of Bob Germaine, a member of the National Team in the late 1980's and early 1990's. "I did have a tough week with my Oma (grandmother) passing away," said Germaine. "When I got back to train, I didn't have a single clean run and was getting very frustrated, so I was ecstatic to have some clean runs in the races." Grace Weinberg took the silver medal in 3:02.029. Weinberg, of Middlebury, Vt., made her second podium appearance in as many weeks after taking the silver medal in last weekend's Norton Youth A (for athletes born 1996-99) National Championships. Hannah Miller, who took last weekend's Youth A title, was third, a mere .002 behind Weinberg after more than 2.8 miles of racing. In the men's competition, Jonny Gustafson of Massena, N.Y., took the title after a mistake in the fourth and final heat of the race cost Riley Stohr the win. Stohr, of Whitehall, Mich., held a convincing lead until he briefly came off his sled while negotiating the tricky junior men's start corner. Gustafson, who also took the Youth A crown last weekend, posted winning time of 3:06.478, with Stohr at 3:08.301. Last weekend's Youth A silver medalist, Elijah Pedriani of New Haven, Vt., was third in 3:11.720. "I did not expect to win," said Gustafson. "I thought Riley had the win but when he messed up the start on that last run it put him to far back to catch up in the same run." The Junior World Cup silver medal winning duo of Justin Krewson of Eastport, N.Y. and Tristan Jeskanen of Peru, N.Y. secured a convincing win in the doubles event, posting a two-run combined time of 1:28.541. A close battle for second place ensued, with Jake Farquharson of Park City, Utah and Duncan Biles of Herriman, Utah edging out Blake Hagberg of Utica, N.Y. and Justin Taylor of Newark, Del. Farquharson/Biles posted a 1:31.480 to take the silver medal, with the Hagberg/Taylor duo notching up a bronze medal time of 1:31.562. "We were having really good runs all week so it was good to go into the race with the same type of runs," said Jeskanen. "We really had a solid four runs." The Norton Junior National Championship marked the final race of the 2013-14 luge season, though sliding will continue for development teams at the Olympic Sports Complex through April 11. Coaches are expected to announce team rosters for the fall later this spring.
