ST. JOHNSBURY–Myra Degre's goal with 2:43 left in the first was the difference as North Country slipped past St. Johnsbury Academy on Tuesday afternoon.
Degre's goal came on a nice through-ball from Lindsey Gaboriault that she converted on from 20 yards out.
The Falcons were without Devinnie Davis, who hopes to be back in action later this week, and Michaela Columbia, who suffered an injury over Maniatty weekend.
With the win North Country improves to 3-6, while St. J drops to 1-7-1.
The Falcons will host unbeaten CVU on Friday at 4:00.
Chelsea 5, Craftsbury 1
CHELSEA-Craftsbury's road woes continued as they fell hard at Chelsea on Tuesday afternoon.
"We didn't really play our game today," said CA coach Mike Reutz. "We didn't possess the ball, build any kind of attack and the pressure was on our defense all day.
Wyatt Kay had three goals to lead Chelsea (5-3-1), while Austin Massi scored Craftsbury's (4-5) only goal on pass from Anders Hanson.
The Academy will look to rebound on Friday when they host Cabot at 4:00.
MORETOWN–The North Country cross country squad was in action at a race hosted by Harwood on Tuesday, and came away with two fifth place finishes.
The girls totaled 128 points, while the boys finished with 180.
Avery Ellis, who was running while feeling a bit under the weather, was the top finisher for NCU, taking home 2nd place with a time of 21:39.
"She finished well despite having a cold," said NCU coach Chris Shaffer.
Jade Dandurant (36th, 25:50), Emma Stewart (38th, 26:26), Maggie Stewart (43rd, 26:54), and Rachel Petzoldt (44th, 27:11) rounded out the Falcons' top five.
On the boys side, coach Shaffer was giving many of his top runners a break after a tough week leading up to Tuesday.
The two top finishers for the North Country boys were Alex Cope (26th, 20:16) and Parker LaCourse (41st, 21:24).
"Alex is getting stronger by the day, and Parker's looked good as continues to work his way back from an injury," Shaffer said.
Next up for the Falcons is a trip down to Thetford for Annual Woods Trail Run this Saturday at 10:00.

I just wanted to comment on Richard Shaw's Jan. 27 editorial about smoking.
I agree, government often goes overboard in restricting rights. But I must say, I disagree that this particular case is a violation of rights.
The problem with smoking is that the "protection" of "smoker's rights" violates the rights of those who don't smoke because of the health conflict. We all know how damaging second hand smoke is. It's one thing if someone wants to fry their own lungs, but its another issue altogether if someone wants to fry my lungs without my consent!!
I agree, censorship is dangerous. But I think smoking is no different than illegal drugs....it's just not right. If I had my way, I'd really tighten down on cigarette and liquor laws.

You installed it all? I believe the game is installed in /usr/local/games ? And the command to start it is ut2003demo i believe. But go check in the dir it is installed in, you should be able to find the executable in there .
I'm quite new to linux. For the first two weeks I was just getting used to the GUI. But now I'm trying to install stuff. So I did some research and I found out that you has to used sh ./filename to install so I did. Everything seemed to go well except when I went to use the program it gave me an error like Error:Connot find Program. What should I do now?
You installed it all? I believe the game is installed in /usr/local/games ? And the command to start it is ut2003demo i believe. But go check in the dir it is installed in, you should be able to find the executable in there .
I dunno, I typed Sh ./filename got into the install program. I had to change the location of the install directory due to right limitations and then I clicked on begin install. It did its thing, and it said install complete. so i clicked on ut2003_demo and it said that utdemo didn't exist. So later, (just now) I typed it instead, and it gave me this "couldn't set video mode: couldn't find matching glx visual". How do fix this. If you think it'll help I have mandrake 9 and geforce 4 mx 420
I'm usually not wonderful at this kind of stuff, but it would seem that you don't have glx set up on your system (graphics libraries that make graphics waaaaaay smoother and faster and provide 3d acceleration). Ge 4 huh? Must be nice
1) go to http://www.nvidia.com/
2) get the latest version of the nvidia drivers for linux. Make sure you get BOTH the nvidia driver and glx driver
3) While they're downloading, backup your /etc/XF86Config file (I belive that's what it's called, no? I've been stuck on Windows for a while now cause of school stuff). Go to /etc and type "cp XF86Config XF86Config-old". You must be root user to do this.
4) Untar both the nvidia and glx sources in your home directory.
*/ You might want to keep these two sources around in case you ever change some settings and can't load the gui (happens upon kernel recompile). If that ever happens, just reinstall the drivers. Just a side note really. You're new to linux still so if any of this seems over you're head don't worry...it'll come in time./*
Type "tar -zvxf <filename>.tar" to decompress each file. Go to the directories that will be created, and type "make install" as root user in each one.
5) Edit your XF86Config file...you have one backed up already as XF86Config-old so this is safe. Make sure you are root. Find the line that says
Driver "nv"
(or possibly "Driver "vesa"" apparently...I've not had this configuration before) and replace it with
Driver "nvidia"
In the Module section (more help available if you can't find this section, but take a look at the file and hopefully you'll figure it out), make sure you have:
Load "glx"
You should also remove the following lines, if they are present anywhere:
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"
5) Save the config file, and shutdown X Windows (a reboot will do this, or Ctrl+Alt+Backspace will suddenly kill X). Restart X by typing "startx". In theory, you now have 3d acceleration and glx.
So yeah hope that helped. If that's not enough there's more detailed information in the README available with the driver downloads. If you have any problems (took me a while to get my Ge2 stable...it constantly crashed until I fixed some settings) you know where to take them. I've been through a lot of graphics hell before.
oh yeah...to be able to type in the command anywhere and run the game, as root user create a symlink in /usr/bin to the file.
ln -s /<path to ut3k directory>/ut2003_demo /usr/bin/ut2003_demo
If that doesn't work, switch the /usr/bin/ut2003_demo and /<path to ut2k3>/ut2003_demo parts. Can never remember the syntax for that one

Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|The Effect of Single Dose Carbamazepine on the Pharmacokinetics of Single Dose Nevirapine (Viramune, NVP) and Development of NVP Resistance, PMTCT Program of Moshi, Tanzania (VITA1)
- Cord blood will be taken less than 30 minutes after delivery [ Time Frame: 0 - 30 min after delivery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Blood samples from mother will be taken less than 30 minutes after delivery to measure viral load and CD4 count. [ Time Frame: 0 - 30 min after delivery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Blood samples will be drawn from mother and child at week 1 (day 6-8), week 2 (day 13-15) and week 3 (day 20-22) [ Time Frame: day 6 - 22 after delivery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- From all samples plasma nevirapine and if applicable carbamazepine levels will be determined in women and newborns. [ Time Frame: 0 30 min after delivery - week 3 after delivery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Study Start Date:
|February 2006
|Study Completion Date:
|June 2010
|Primary Completion Date:
|September 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Carbamazepine
An oral dose of 400mg Carbamazepine is added to the 200mg oral dose Nevirapine intake prior delivery
Drug: carbamazepine and nevirapine
Carbamazepine 400mg and Nevirapine 200mg are taken just before delivery during labor.
Placebo Comparator: Nevirapine
Standard therapy of 200mg Nevirapine oral prior to delivery
Drug: Nevirapine
Nevirapine 200mg is taken prior to delivery during labor.
Detailed Description:
Without the use of preventative measures, the risk of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV-1 is estimated to vary between 25 and 48%. The regimen of single dose of nevirapine to the mother just before delivery and a single dose of nevirapine to the newborn within 24 - 72 hours after birth reduces the risk of MTCT by 50%, is affordable in many situations and is therefore standard of care in many African countries, like Tanzania. Recent studies, however, have shown that this single dose to the mother can induce the occurrence of nevirapine resistance in a large number of mothers. The mechanism of occurrence of nevirapine resistance already after a single dose is most likely related to the long elimination half-life of the drug. The subtherapeutic plasma levels present the perfect environment for the occurrence of resistance as the concentrations are subinhibitory for several days.

National Georgia pecan month
The holidays just got a whole lot nuttier - November is National Georgia Pecan Month!
Whether you pronounce it "pea-can" or "pu-cahn," it's about time we got to know this nutritious nut a bit better, so here are six pecan facts from the Georgia Pecan Commission:
-There are about 78 pecans used in the average pecan pie.
-Pecans are the only tree nut truly native to the United States.
-Georgia produces more pecans than any other state, and has done so since the late 1800s.
-Pecans are one of the largest fruit-bearing trees. An acre of farmed pecan trees will yield roughly 1,000 pounds of pecans.
-Thomas Jefferson loved pecans so much, he had pecan trees from Louisiana brought to his Monticello estate in Virginia.
-The handles for the torches used to carry the Olympic flame in the 1996 games (which Atlanta hosted) were made out of pecan wood.

|No alcohol for Black
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Thursday, 21 June 2007 19:59
A federal judge has ordered 72-year-old former House Speaker Jim Black to abstain from alcohol and to remain in western North Carolina as he awaits his sentencing next month.His initial terms of release allowed him to travel outside the country without permission from the government. The new terms limits Black to travel within the western third of North Carolina and elsewhere in the state for court appearances and medical appointments. No reason for the change was given.
Black, a Mecklenburg Democrat, pleaded guilty in February to one count of taking thousands of dollars in cash from chiropractors while promoting their industry's agenda in the General Assembly.
His sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 11.

- How to Read a Study Record
For many, Alzheimer's disease is the number one medical issue facing our aging society. It is a late onset neurodegenerative disease, frequently under diagnosed, that impairs memory and cognitive performance. There are no known treatments that can either prevent or reverse its progression. Consequently, there still remains a need to evaluate treatments which can better stabilize the symptoms of this disease. These symptoms frequently include decreased functional capacity and negative psychological attributes (e,g, depression, anxiety) in association with the memory and cognition deficits. This current study is being done to assess an investigational compound that has been designed to not only improved the cognitive status of affected patients but to also better manage all symptoms. Hence, the ultimate goal is to provide patients with an improved quality of life by slowing the progression of this neurodegenerative disease

Pastoral takes pride in carrying an array of various types of cheese to serve your gourmet needs. Whether it's pillowy goat cheese, salty Manchego cheese or crumbly Cabot cheese wrapped in cloth, our carefully chosen selections showcase the bounty of artisans who produce hand-crafted types of cheese from around the world. Rustic and traditional French and Italian cheeses may garner the most love, and rightly so, but here at Pastoral we also believe in a sourcing a wide variety of sustainably produced local cheeses from right here in the USA.
Bucheron$7.99"Buche" means log in French and is the root word for the name of this large, log-shaped French goat cheese. Each slice provides a window into the ripening process for this soft-ripened cheese. In the center, the crumbly, chalky interior tastes bright and lemony. As the log ages, the gooey interfacing below the bloomy, edible rind, provides a creamy contrast. Lovely with fresh fruit, spread on crackers or a baguette, or simply on its own, Bucheron is a beautiful French delight. Learn More
Dutch Girl Creamery Chevre Frais$8.99This fresh, soft goat cheese has a wonderful creamy texture and slight lemony flavor. The rosemary, chives, and peppercorns that adorn these pyramids are picked fresh from the cheesemaker's organic farm.

CANTON - Deep Root Center for Self-Directed Learning, a community resource center for youth ages 8-18 who want to explore options to the traditional school model, will be launching a pilot program in January 2014.
Modeled on the successful North Star: Self-Directed Learning for Teens in Hadley, Mass., Deep Root Center believes that north country youth, especially those not thriving in a typical school setting, deserve access to more options for educational success.
Deep Root Center is for youth who feel uninspired, disengaged, lost, disenfranchised, misunderstood, bored or apathetic in their current schooling environment. It is a resource center rather than a school, and it seeks to make homeschooling a viable and exciting option in the north country.
The center is a place where youth ages 8-18 are given the tools to explore who they really are, what they want to do and where they want to go. With support from the center, families submit the required home schooling documents to their school district.
Deep Root Center provides guidance and mentoring for the youth, as well as tutorials, classes, materials, and myriad opportunities to connect with community resources. Participants requests and personal interests, as well as ideas cultivated during advisement sessions, are what will determine which resources they incorporate into their learning plan.
Maria Corse, founder and director of Deep Root Center, holds a bachelors degree in Anthropology from SUNY Potsdam and is a seasoned teacher with 10 years experience in a non-public school in Canton. She embraces the concept of self-directed learning and is passionate about mentoring youth through their journeys to adulthood. The north country native is also a writer who has self-published a chapter book for children. Maria lives off-grid with her family in Pierrepont, and is an avid volunteer in the community.
Deep Root Center is currently recruiting members for the pilot program and is holding an open house at 7 p.m. Nov. 19 in the Paige Room downstairs at the Canton Free Library.
Ken Danford and a panel of inspiring teens from North Star in Hadley, Mass., will speak about their experiences as self-directed learners and how North Star has changed their lives. More information can be found at the centers website: www.deeprootcenter.org or by contacting Maria at firstname.lastname@example.com.

SACKETS HARBOR Plans are moving forward for the creation of a community garden that would begin the development of recreational space on the villages northwest side.
The gardens will be the first portion of a plan from the town of Hounsfield and village of Sackets Harbor Joint Parks and Recreation Commission, which will involve the development of tennis courts, bocce ball and shuffleboard spaces and a youth baseball diamond over the next few years near Edmund Street and Hill Street.
The village Board of Trustees and Hounsfield Town Council last week approved the commission spending $3,000 of its approximately $13,000 budget for the next fiscal year, which begins in June, to create the garden space. Work to complete other portions of the development will be spread out as funds allow over the next few years.
J. Briggs McAndrews, a village resident who has taken the lead in developing the garden, said it will provide both health and social benefits for residents.
They might come and garden, but they may bring some coffee and chat, he said. Mr. McAndrews, a gardener himself, said the plots would fit well with his growing of beans, tomatoes, onions, squash, peas and peppers.
Each of these are just a little bit of a community where people can come together and do something that interests them, he said.
Current plans are for about 20 plots, of either 10 feet by 20 feet or 8 feet by 16 feet, to be ready by May. Interested gardeners will be able to rent the plots through an application placed on the villages website in March.
Mr. McAndrews said he has spoken with representatives from the Cornell Cooperative Extension to have gardening classes taught at the site, which could also be used by local students.
Though gardeners will need to use their own tools, soil and water will be provided with the rental fee. Mr. McAndrews said the raised plots at the garden will be more convenient for users with disabilities or limited mobility. He said he anticipated the plots being rented at $25 for the season.
While rules have not been formally set, Mr. McAndrews said the gardens would likely be organic, with users barred from using artificial pesticides on their spaces. Other rules he envisioned included preventing the planting of plants that could grow into the plots of other gardeners, like pumpkins. Though the community garden area will be fenced to keep out animals, Mr. McAndrews said a decision has not been made on whether individual plots could be fenced in as well.

MASSENA Village officials say they have assembled people to lead a limited liability company to renovate and reopen Schines Massena Theater downtown.
Town attorney Eric J. Gustafson said he and Schines owner Thomas Gramuglia have found enough interested people to operate the LLC, and have prepared paperwork that is under review by the state Education Department and the state Department of State.
Once the state agencies have approved the certificate, LLC members will be able to move ahead with fundraising ideas to help pay for the cost of the theaters renovation.
Weve had a number of people who are interested, Mr. Gustafson said. The first step is to get the entity formed and then to form a fundraising plan.
Mr. Gustafson said they hope to have approval from the state by the end of the summer.
Economic development officials acknowledge theres a lot of work to be done, with renovations estimated at $500,000 to $750,000 required before the theater could reopen.
Michael V. Almasian, executive director of the Business Development Corporation for a Greater Massena, has called the restoration of the theater a point of gravity in discussions to use $250,000 in state grant funds to make renovations to buildings in Massenas downtown.
A number of residents have commented on the restoration of the theater as a way to improve and increase economic activity downtown.
However, Mr. Gustafson pointed out the funding provided by the grant would be insufficient to cover a significant portion of the theaters renovation costs.
Theres a limited amount of revitalization funding. It wont be the end of our fundraising efforts, Mr. Gustafson said.
Mr. Gustafson said LLC members will begin to explore fundraising options after the state has approved the certificate of incorporation.
Mr. Almasian said its likely a portion of the revitalization funding would go toward the effort to renovate the theater, pointing out the building fulfills many requirements for use of state grant funds, being a historic structure and an anchor building likely to draw people to Massenas downtown.
If you go down the scoring, it doesnt take much to see how that will apply to the theater, Mr. Almasian said.
Mr. Almasian also said he believes the theaters renovation is crucial to the revitalization of downtown.
He used the example of other upstate communities, such as Geneva and Schenectady, that were able to better their downtowns significantly by restoring historic theaters.
Theaters provide venues for more entertainment, arts and music programs, which in turn can increase tourist activity at neighboring shops and restaurants.
Whether youre in California or New York City, arts and entertainment draw tourists, and tourists are on vacation; they want to have a good time, Mr. Almasian said.
In many of the downtown revitalizations that I admire, a historic theater was one of the biggest parts of the revitalization effort, he said.
To me, getting our theater back on its feet is important. That theater and the Grasse River are the two most underused assets in downtown Massena.
In an effort to liven up downtown before the theaters restoration is complete, Mr. Gramuglia said, he would like to restore the marquee by the end of the summer.
We have a time schedule were working on, and one of the things we talked about is to bring this marquee up as soon as possible, Mr. Gramuglia said.
The marquee is already restored; its just a matter of putting it up.

i use grip or ripperX - you should not need to compile either one.
I was having problems compiling grip, so I am looking for an alternative. It needs to be able to download information about the cd. That is all. Any suggestions would be appreciated
I have looked in the favorite software PET, but I couldn't get anything there to compile for me...
i use grip or ripperX - you should not need to compile either one.
I was also having a problem with playing an audio cd. I started KsCD, and it told me I did not have permissions to /dev/hdc.. Which is odd, because I am pretty sure that I do..
here is my line in /etc/fstab:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto
noauto,user,umask=002,ro,gid=100 0
not sure exactly why it is like that...

Also, ripperX complains that cdparanoia needs to be set suid root. I will try it.

CANTON The aspiration of achieving 100 career points was a goal George Hughes set for himself ever since he first stepped on to the Appleton Arena ice at St. Lawrence University.
Now not only does Hughes, a senior defenseman and assistant captain, have that milestone in his sights as he sits just two points shy of the mark entering the final weekend of the regular season, he and his teammates have high aspirations in the push for playoff positioning.
Its been great, Hughes said of his senior campaign. Especially of late, weve been playing really well and hopefully we can carry this over into the playoffs.
The Saints, who sit in third place in ECAC Hockey, are hoping for a strong finish when it plays at Union tonight and at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on Saturday to secure a first-round bye in the playoffs.
Its a pretty typical week in the ECAC, I think, Hughes said. All the teams are so bunched up together. This weekend is without a doubt the biggest weekend of the year so far. Home ice and byes are on the line, so we just have to take advantage of it. Its a huge opportunity for this team.
St. Lawrence (16-12-4, 9-7-4) can secure a home series in the quarterfinal round with a pair of victories, but there are several other scenarios where they can accomplish this depending on how the leagues results pan out.
At the personal level, Hughes is closing in on the feat of becoming just the third defenseman in the programs history to reach 100 points.
Thats a pretty impressive stat, St. Lawrence coach Greg Carvel said of Hughes potential milestone. Theres been a lot of All-Americans and a lot of Hobey Baker candidates who have played defense here.
Its definitely an honor if I can achieve this, said Hughes, who heads into tonight with 98 (18 goals-80 assists) in 124 career games. My goal was to get 100 points when I came here, so this would be special.
The all-time leader among St. Lawrence blueliners is Dan Laperriere with 120 (21 goals-99 assists) points in 124 games, and Brian McColgan (31-69-100) is second in 113 games.
George kind of flies a little bit under the radar on our team maybe in the public eye because of (Kyle) Flanagan and (Greg) Carey, Carvel said. Hes an elite offensive defenseman at this level.
Saints assistant coach Mike Hurlbut stands fourth on the list, with 86 (24-62) points in 134 games.
Hes been a huge part of this team and hes just so consistent every year, Hurlbut said of Hughes. His competitive level is very high he sets high expectations for himself and the team is well. Hes certainly an elite skater and that helps him get out of trouble, and he makes plays because of his skating.
Hughes, who has recorded 30 (5 goals-25 assists) points this campaign, is among the nations leading defensemen. He ranks first in points per game (0.94), leads all defenders in assists and is 11th in points.
Hes put up these numbers since he and the team kind of slumped through the middle part of the season and were struggling through a stretch, Carvel said. But the last two months, hes been outstanding. Hes a big part of our offense and is a huge part of our power play.
Hughes also generated a seven-game point streak in which he posted 11 (2-9) points, and helped spark the Saints to a six-game unbeaten streak (4-0-2) beginning in January.
I dont know if I consider myself an offensive defenseman, Hughes said. But I like to join the rush and I like to create offense, whether its on the rush or in the offensive zone. I like to keep my offensive options open.
Overall, St. Lawrence is 8-2-2 in its past 12 games.
Hes one of those guys who leads more by his actions than his words, Carvel said of Hughes. He plays over 30 minutes for us most nights he gives us every thing he has and hes as important to our success as Carey or Flanagan is.
The Saints head into tonight without Flanagan, the senior captain who had his appendix removed on Tuesday. The Canton native is out for this weekend and possibly next week as well, which makes earning a playoff bye that much more important.
We just have to try and get through this as a team and battle through it, Hughes said.
Carey, a junior winger who carries an 11-game goal streak into tonight, continues to lead the nation in both goals (25) and points (47). He also tops the country in points per game (1.47) and goals per game (0.78).
Also tied for the nations lead in power-play goals (11), Carey has recorded 19 (11-8) points over this stretch and has 24 points, including 12 goals in 15 games in the 2013 calendar year.
In its playoff push, St. Lawrence has scored on 16 of 62 power-play chances (25.8 percent) in its past 12 games, including 11 man-advantage goals on 33 opportunities in its last six outings (33.3 percent).
The Saints have been sharp in penalty killing of late as theyve allowed only one power-play goal from 22 of their opponents chances over the past two weekends (95.4 percent) and stand at 82.5 percent overall.

Also known as a spectacled bear, the Andean bear often has light fur resembling huge glasses around its eyes. The only surviving example of the once-common "short-faced" bears, the Andean bear is the last remnant of an evolutionary line that would otherwise be extinct. The species inhabits the mountainous regions of western Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. The Andean bear's preferred habitat is high-altitude páramo grasslands and dense cloud forests in steep, remote regions where the bears are rarely seen.
Andean bears love to eat fruit and move about in search of ripening bounty. Their diet also includes tender bamboo, Bromeliad hearts, rodents, and insects—although animal matter comprises only a miniscule amount of their food consumption. The wide-ranging Andean bears once had a safe haven in the undeveloped habitat of the Andean foothills, but this land is increasingly being chopped up for agriculture, grazing lands, and human settlements. The future of this wondrous species depends on the creation of a network of protected areas that can sustain the bears in the wild.

My Life Story: Observations of a Teenager
My mom filled out a questionnaire about me for my young women church group when I was a seventeen, it says:
What are Courtney's special personality traits?
Volatile! Temperamental! Funny. Honest. Extremely Intelligent and Sensitive.
What does Courtney add to your family as an individual?
We call her Pitiful Pearl. Life is Courtney is one crisis after another. But she's good to her little sisters and takes them everywhere with her. She has great friends and we love having them to our house.
What are her talents?
She writes wonderful poetry and great editorials.
The same year I went to a church youth conference where we were placed in solitude for an hour and instructed to read letters from our parents, this one my dad wrote:
My Dear Courtney,
I know you are just laughing at this whole program--especially these letters from parents. But since I have to do it and you have time on your hands here is something to read.
I admire your determination especially when it comes to school and educational achievements. I think you have a warm personality--even though we don't always see it--but I've seen your sweetness. You are a beautiful girl with beautiful skin and hair and a curvy body. But most of all we love you because you're you and you add a special difference to our family. Hold on to the principles you know to be right. Stay close to your Heavenly Father. We love you and have all the trust in the world for you.
Your Dad
From my sister Stephanie, four years younger:
I think are the coolest person! You have every boyfriend in the world you are lucky I think you are very pretty.
Steph always observed my range of deeply felt emotions and I think it scared her a little. Whenever I'd have an emotive episode I'd find little notes on my bed at night. We've established that she is the dreamer in our relationship, I'm the one who cries.

Often when people are speaking about us, they are in reality speaking of themselves.
There is a tendency to want to pigeon hole kids in to the molds that we are comfortable with. This is my happy kid, this is my serious kid, etc...
It's a shame that we weren't allowed to just BE.
More honest feeling and writing from you...bravo.

I am working so very hard on that as a mother. Just BE.
Thanks Ashley, your ideas are always pinching my mind and making me think.

I don't mean this to be insulting, but why was your family so focused on your weight? They obviously were great parents, I'm just curious as to why your weight was something that your parents always mention and focused on. Like in your Dads letter it seems he is saying I love you despite your weight. Not just I love you. Or is it just your own insecurities highlighting these moments in your life? I hope you will explain this relationship in up coming post. Either way, you are thee most glamorous person I have yet to come across! Rock on! :)

I came from a family hell bent on labeling their kids. 'the smart one', 'the funny one', etc. I am trying as hard as possible, as a parent, to stop the labeling and allowing them to share talents and passions and also just have value in existing.
Parenting isn't about what a child contributes to you and your life and your home. Children shouldn't have to do anything to enrich your life. Your job is to enrich THEIRS.
Glad we all get a chance to choose our own path as parents.

The pics of you that are accompanying your life story posts remind me of Joy Nash's Fat Rant video where she says 'why didn't anyone tell me how cute I was!'. I spent my teenage years thinking I was fat (and receiving those subtle cues from my parents) and now when I see those pics i see that I not only was cute but skinny as well.

I admire your parents for including all of the facets of you, not just a sugar coated commentary. The problem is, in reading this as an adult, I am certain you probably feel judged. I think as a parent we all struggle with assessing our kids without being to harsh or judgemetal. On the other end, I see parents all around me telling their kids how great they are all the time, and we are going to end up with a world full of narcissist, but that is a whole other subject. I think we toe a very delicate line where it comes to self esteem building in our kids...but telling them how great they are does not great self esteem make.

Pitiful pearl? one crisis after another? I think you have a warm personality-even though we don't always see it?
And then to make up for that at least you take your younger sisters everywhere with you and you have a beautiful body, skin and hair.
Wow, wow, wow.
My admiration for you grows.

Isn't it funny how the people we love seem incapable of describing us or talking to us about ourselves without adding in their digs and our imperfections? I'm not even saying that its wrong, it just yanks at my heart a little, though I'm sure I'll do the same, like I get it Mom/Dad, I was a pain as a child/teenager, got the message. Grudging compliments just burn a little, I winced reading these. For all the spoiled praised brats out there I think there are 1,000 sensitive souls that could use a little reminder that they are doing a wonderful job navigating the world.

I love your Mom and Dad's humor. Humor is the only way I will survive the teenage years with my children.
I also love that your father complimented your looks and body (I took curvy as a compliment not a weight reference...) All fathers should take note of that, is very important!

Dang Courtney, you're a bombshell now, and you were a bombshell then. You are so beautiful and I look forward to your life story posts every single day. Thanks for being my favorite blogger and sharing so much with us. It's inspired me more than I can express. The posts have made me laugh, made me teary-eyed, and have really made me think. You are so wonderful!

what did i miss? i didn't see anything wrong with what your folks wrote. it was balanced. descriptive of you, as they saw it. complimentary.
i don't get it.
the fact that your folks wrote something is more than what i had. wish my folks even had a thought or care about me.
could someone tell me what perfect looks like? i don't think it exists on this side of eternity.

- Sierra said...
Um, I sort of feel like we are the same person. Haha.
However, I think it's important to remember that we often point out the "real" attributes of the people we love the most to remind them that we love them NO MATTER WHAT. Even when they seem to be at their worst.
Oh, Just Living the Dream

This is making me think a lot about parenting and the whole "labeling" our kids...made me think of this...
I don't love EVERYTHING that this guy has to say (Hal Runkel author of Scream Free Parenting) but I do love one of his main points...let me find it from his website.
Why should we avoid attaching labels to our children? Why does becoming a ScreamFreetm Parent mean taking a very hard look at our own anxiety-driven need to label our child's tendencies and predict our child's destiny? Whenever we label our kids (a good girl, a follower, smart, athletic, pretty, sweet, a troublemaker), it is always borne out of our anxious need to predict and categorize. Somehow it helps us feel a little better whenever we can attach some known category. That way we feel as if we "know" our child like no one else.
What we miss is how powerful those labels can be in actually restricting our child's space to be anything different. A child who's labeled smart has to always live up to that (and cannot make a mistake). A child labeled a troublemaker continues to behave so because everyone around him begins to expect it.
In his book he also says...
Whenever we label our children, we severely limit their space.....The way we label things, explain things, etc. to our children "shapes your world and the worlds of each of your children......By placing limits on our own freedom, we thereby create and honor theirs. When it comes to our language, especially the words we use about our children, we again need to limit our freedom. We simply do to much talking about them. Too much comparison. Too much categorization. Too much prognostication. And it's time to stop.....we need to take a very hard look at our own anxiety-driven need to label our child's tendencies and predict our child's destiny.
Sorry those are long quotes but I am very glad I read this book as a brand new mom & knew right away that it was very important to keep a close eye on.

I thought the letters and description refreshing and funny.. we all label one another and most teenagers are moody and temperamental and drama queens, I was, a few of my girls were and we laugh about it now, sometimes if we look to hard to find the negative we will..
Your parents raised some amazing and very talented children (or so it seems) I think they knew what they were doing.
- April 29, 2012
- First Mate said...
Sounds like you and I had/have the same temperament . You are lucky to have parents who would be so honest in their description of you.
Meanwhile, what up with the gorgeous dress? You look fabulous and oh so happy. Please share the story....

I think your family's 'take' on you is wonderful. Not sure why people are reading more into it then there is. Your mother thought you were a passionate, intelligent, creative, sensitive girl and a wonderful writer. And maybe just a touch dramatic (don't know any teenage girls who weren't). And your father says you were intelligent, determined, a high achiever, beautiful and curvy (why do people think this means fat - look at you in that photo, va boom stunning) and you added a special difference to the family. In a family of nine hat took some doing. Wow. And, I bet they would say the same about you now.
Also, just one thing in response to your previous post. You are who you are. Do not take on board the criticisms of perfect strangers who may be 1% of those reading your blog. Strangely, they still read your blog in order to go onto another website to dig the boot in. You are in excellent company. In fact, I think a blogger must know they have made it when they end up on that site with their very own topic in the discussion forum. Only change because its the right thing for you and yours. We are all human, never forget it. Turn the other cheek and move foreward. It's called the tall poppy syndrome or blogger envy.

I was a middle child, so perhaps that was my problem. I was always labeled by my parents. Never quite as great as my older brother...nor as needy as my sick little sister. I was always told that my feelings were "wrong". And they wonder why I moved so far away and don't visit often.
I have a 10 year daughter we adopted from China as an infant. She is one gorgeous girl. Smart as a whip. Straight A's all through elementary! She's been a little chubby for about a year and while we initially just felt it was a phase, we did become concerned because of some food habits she has picked up. We decided to make changes as a family. We make sure we all eat together, no electronics at the table, we make her slow down and put her fork down between bites, we make her talk to us (torture!), and then we all clean the kitchen together. She has also started helping her dad mow the lawn and she and her dad play racquetball a few days a week.
I don't want to her to fixate on her body...but if we make adjustments as a family, we will all benefit!!

- Creole Wisdom said...
Maybe it's my paradigm but "curvy" does not equate to "fat" or "overweight." When I think curvy I think hourglass figure, and not shaped like a stick. Anyway, I think your dad was complimenting you, because if anyone said that to me I would take it as a compliment!
I think most teens (at least I was) are a bit volatile etc... It takes so much time and a few years to work all those hormones out. Completely normal.
Parents make mistakes. Your parents loved you even if they made mistakes and love heals all.

i don't want to demonize your father--he sounds like a great man and I think we as a society have learned a lot (and still need to learn more) about the effect of seemingly innocuous comments about a person's body size on their psyche--especially when they are children/adolescents. This is all a prelude to my comment that I find it a little odd/uncomfortable that your father commented on you being "curvy". I think it is an inappropriate comment ( a little too sexy a term I guess) for a father to make but I know my own father crossed the line as well with his comments on his daughters physiques and did so unintentionally.
On another note--two of my children are in their teens and I do find myself sometimes commenting on how wonderful and sweet I now they are EVEN though we don't always get to see it and other such comments because the teen years do bring a fair amount of attitude from even the best of kids. Looking back on those type of comments they can look like a back handed compliment or too negative but when you are living through those years as a parent it is hard not to sound like that.
By the way, I hope you are feeling better and less stressed out.

- dmarie said...
okay...i thought i was the only one. i thought dad commenting on the "curvy" figure was just a touch inappropriate. i would have withered and died if my dad ever said anything like that to me at that age. my parents were honest in their assessments of me, too, but the positives came before the negatives. in my parenting, i try to remember to stroke before i poke!

Since I read your post yesterday the letters from your parents have just bugged me. I know they meant well, and I certainly don't question their love for you. But I just couldn't help but think about how those words would sound to the heart of a young girl. If it had been me, the criticisms would have been all I heard. And in my life, those are the things that have stuck with me unfortunately.
But it just blows my mind when I look at that gorgeous picture of you that anyone could consider that "curvy." Huh? All I see when I look at that picture is a beautiful and petite teenage girl. Petite I said!! Good grief!
How are we, as women, supposed to ever have a healthy body image when we're met with criticism and harshness (albeit unintended) from such a young age?
I love your blog and read everything you post! Don't be too hard on yourself and don't let others be hard on you either!

- Lee said...
In rereading my comment I think I may have been to harsh on your Dads comment. I was just remembering past post and how your weight is always being brought up by your parents. I don't think your Dad is calling you fat, I'm just wondering why it is so important. You even said in past post that your mom focused on your weight and even gave a list of examples from your baby book. I guess I'm combining a bunch of post and just made the connection here. Sorry if my comment did not come of right.

Reflecting on a Hero in our Midst
If you work in a large organization like we do at Molson Coors you can sometimes get caught up in the stream of day to day challenges of the biz and forget the human side of our business and lives. I tend to believe that most people they mean well, they work hard, enjoy life and strive to be better at what they do at work and at home.
In this morning's Toronto Star in the Insight Section, there is an inspiring story about one of our colleagues who has had a struggle with cancer over the past few years, yet he has been a beacon for the organization and one of the key lead organizors for our VANCOUVER 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games plans. In fact he's been at the pointed edge of all communications between Molson Coors and the organizing committee from pin approvals to script revisions to making sure that Molson Canadian, Coors Light and Molson Export will achieve their recognition as official beers for 2010.
David Hayes from the Toronto Star tells a wonder story about Hari Sihvo and I am so proud to shout it out and share it here on our Molson Coors Community blog. Special thanks to Hari for sharing his story so publicly, it will no doubt inspire many. Cheers @MolsonFerg

Florio News: Nothing Is Happening, Unless Of Course Something Is Actually Happening
What the latest from the World Wide Florio? Apparently he read somewhere that Cromarite iced his hip and sat out a few plays during practice. WOOP! WOOP! WOOP! RED ALERT!
Obvious conclusion? Darrelle Revis should really get that Scrooge McDuck Money Vault finished already since Cromartie is now little more than a withering husk … a crippled invalid who uses a Rascal to attend Florham Park Knights of Columbus Bingo games.
He also would like to chide a nameless reporter for saying that a deal that could get done and admits to the fact as well, just a few lines down the page.
Finally, we continue to be amused by the persistent reporting from one specific reporter at one specific organization that the Jets and Revis are making progress and continue to be close on a deal. The report is incorrect. There was no meeting last Tuesday (as the reporter reported, citing apparently the same single source), and no progress has been made. The two sides aren't talking. Indeed, there's nothing to talk about. The deal will get done when someone caves. And so it appears that the reporter in question will continue to say "it's coming" until it happens, and then he'll claim that he was right all along … we don't want to give the reporter any additional exposure for reporting something that is flat-out incorrect.
Next paragraph please?
Wait for it …
Wait for it …
That said, a deal could get done tomorrow.
So nothing's happening, unless of course something happens. Bra f—ing vo, Mikey.
I get that he's saying that both sides are at an impasse, while Graz is saying sides are chipping away … that's the crux of the difference, but the conclusion is the same … nothing's happening … unless something's happening, and no one knows for sure.
Florio states that nothing is happening as fact, while using as his sources the barely-above-masturbatory-term "league insiders" without link or any other support. Just trust him, he has a telephone, and tie AND a computer!!!
Last week I talked to my old friend Doug, who is a Steelers fan and reads TJB from time to time and like me, is a begrudging PFT reader. During our lunch, he pinpointed the single most infuriating thing about how Florio runs PFT which I found both amusing and novel, yet seemingly true.
Florio habitually draws conclusions based on his conjecture or his own two-dimensional anonymous sources, then passes it off as fact. Armed with his house of cards, he then judges whoever disagrees with him based on his interpretations of the facts. Whether he's right or not is irrelevant: he's right in his own mind and everything that doesn't jive with his perspective is worthy of derision.
It's a simple point, but one that the more you read Florio, the more you see play out, over and over again.
That and the Seinfeld references …
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

12 Ways To Look More Stylish At The Office
- 1 of 13
We recently asked for career advice from fashion editors at the world's top magazines, and one tip from Mary Kate Steinmiller, the Senior Fashion Market Editor at Teen Vogue, stuck in our head: "Be the editor-in-chief of your own role, in how hard you work, how professional you act, and how well you dress." Clearly qualities like a dogged work ethic and professionalism will get you far, but what you wear also makes a major impact on your success. Accordingly, we thought we'd round up inspirational ways to take your work ensembles to the next level. Are you ready to be the best dressed in the office? Click through for our transformative tips!

Ban black for a day, and instead introduce an airy floral to your outfit, like Gisele Bundchen's Zara pants. Extra points for following Bundchen's lead with a bright sandal like her red Dolce & Gabbana heels.

Tip 7: Put a feminine spin to a suit with a peek of lacy camisole.
