Being a Married Cajun
by cohphanta
When i was growing up when you married people then called you by your husbands name. For example if your husbands first name was John, you were called Madame John. I don't know if the younger generation does that. We all had god parents even if we weren't catholic. I am the first one if my family to choose not to do that. We called them Parrain and Marriane. Our uncles were called N'oncle and aunts were Tante. Juniors were not called Jr. like most places, they were called "little". So, if a man's name was Glenn Jr., he was called T'Glenn. Sometimes they used the english instead and it would be Little Glenn and the Sr. would be called Big Glenn.

Is it alright if i seem to compare?
N'oncle is notre oncle...
Madame Pierre, Jean, Sebastien... was also very typical. Our God parents are also called Parrain and Marraine and with great respect....when my O/H speaks about his Parrain who died many years ago he always says "Mon Parrain".
Oncle and Tante, i have many that have become over the years Tonton and Tata as with our sons that adress them in the same way.
For the youngers that have the same name as their elders we say 'Le jeune Jean' if a boy or 'La petite Marionette' ...when a girl..
In Burgundy 'Le or La' is always before ...prename that we give to others..Le Grand-Père, La Grande Mère....Le Baptiste...La Valérie....and so on.
Lovely to read about your young life cohphanta...sorry if i took over with a few familitaries...

We collect all writings of Henri Vincenot who for many years dedicated his writings to his Bourgogne, he wrote about his life as a boy and also about Burgundian language (Oïl) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgundian_language_(O%C3%AFl)
Two members of our family are writing their memoires, one of the two has been published.
Do you know where your ancestors originated from, the South West of France, or the centre.. La Creuse, Saône-et-Loire, La Nièvre, perhaps Burgundy. Your accents compare with the middle of France....its quite recent, can you ask questions.. are there any documents and dates?
Please tell me your family name..i also can try to do some recherche.

My father's side is from Amboise in the Centre region. The sur name is Bergeron. My mother's family I do not have as much information. Some of her father's side were from France by way of Austria. One of her cousins went to France and did all the leg work, but he didn't share all of the info with us. What we have is sparce. I was fortunate on my father's side as someone had done a very good job of getting the info and sharing it with the library back home.
On my father's side some of the names are (these are the maiden names of the wives as all the men were Bergeron) Bardougne, Beloche, Dourceray, and Scarron. Those are the ones born in France, Antoinne Bergeron and Claudette Scarron's son was born in France then moved to Nova Scotia he married a woman who was born there Genevieve Serreaux. Her father, Jean Serreaux was born in Poitou, France. Her mother's name was Marguerite Boisleau, also born in Poitou. My mother's side the names are Marcel, LeBouef, Lapyrouse, Pinel, and Oubre.
I"m always trying to gather information about where they lived and what the areas are like. I wish I had the ability to go to France and see it all....maybe some day....

Bergeron family
History of ancestors
The Bergeron in France
in Acadia and Quebec
1..One can safely somewhere around 85 to 90% of the territory of St. Gregory as it was originally was settled by the Acadian families of victims in one way or another deportation and persecution of various from 1755: that of Bergeron was among them.
2..The first and only coming down the Bergeron Bergeron called Acadian Barthelemy Bergeron D'Amboise said, from D'Amboise in Touraine, born May 23, 1665.
3..Although the Acadia was founded in 1604, we must wait until autumn 1684 before noticing the presence of Bartholomew in Quebec City where he spent a contract to partner with tradespeople, he then said Baker.
On 29 November 1689, with Pierre Viau and John Mera, he brought a lawsuit against the Northwest Company for wages. It is about three notes signed by Iberville. We can then deduce that it has been for a time at least, those around him.
4..On 19 December the same year, they lose their case and were sentenced to pay a fine of 3 pounds and costs of suit. In the document, Barthelemy Bergeron D'Amboise says.
5..In winter, not to go to work and stay with a host, he contrived to build some shops used. Bona Arseneault teaches us that it has its base in Quebec in the lower city at Pierre Lezeau, master boat. When in 1690 he made his will, we realize that this is not money that is missing .. It also said it is voluntary and is on his departure for the trip to Englishmen?.
6..February 15, 1691, is sponsoring Anne Garnault the Guardian Angel.
7..On May 11, 1691, he passed a note addressed to the company to go fur trade to the St. John River, Acadia.
8..Around 1693 he settled in Port Royal, he will soon become owner of a schooner and will cabotage (trade) in the great French Bay (Fundy). Activity will continue into old age.
9..Around 1695, he married Genevieve Serreau St. Aubin, widow of Jacques Petit Pas, daughter of the lord of St. Croix, Jean St-Aubin Serreau he has 10 children. Note that from 1692 until early 1695, Genevieve was imprisoned with her husband and her husband Jacques Petit Pas Boston. As the first child of the latter and Bartholomew, Bartholomew's Baptism 1 January 1696 (St-François de l'Ile d'Orleans), one can speculate that they were married in Boston, especially more than the act of marriage has not yet been found.
10..In July 1704 he was taken prisoner with his wife and four children, during the attack of Captain Church against Port Royal. They were taken captive with others in Boston and held hostage. Only in September 1706, they will be released in exchange for English prisoners made by the Acadians who were detained at Port Royal.
1710: Nova Scotia is definitely English.
1714: During the census, Bartholomew and his family still reside in Port Royal, in the vicinity of Cape Town, Lower Town, and near the fort.
1730, with his family, other allied families and companions, and at the urging of French power as missionaries, he emigrated to the St. John River near Fredericton (NB). He left for English and Acadian French Acadia safer. He established his three sons, Bartholomew, and Michael J. Augustine. In 1763, he and his wife died.
Lord of the Great Upheaval of 1755 and until 1763, opinions are divided concerning the fate of family members. Bona Arseneault says that most of them were held prisoner in Halifax until the signing of the peace treaty, other authors consulted do not just talk. After the conquest, the Acadians of the St. John River will be deported.
The three Mother / Father Bartholomew immigrated to Louisiana with nearly all of their family. Some, especially children Michael, will remain in Canada or in the lower river or Rivières area .. Stephen himself, is the ancestor of Bergeron Gaspé we often end up afterwards as the Damboise. Detail to note, Stephen was the only Father / Mother Michel to know how to sign his name and he had a beautiful hand writing. They are still Father / Mother Michel François Michel, Pierre (a) and Simon Peter and another (b), it will have no descendants, who will move to St. Gregory.
Peter was the first to leave since February 3, 1759 already, it is in Quebec in 1761 in Cap-De-La-Madeleine in 1764, is a land grant to Lac St-Paul.
In spring 1763, Francis and Simon Peter (b), will follow their brother Michael said Nantes which will lead them and others, still hidden in the woods, following the path of the portage to reach the end of the fall of same year Cacouna where they overwinter, redoing their strengths and building boats that will take them to court for the year 1764 instead, which is now the center of the village of St. Gregory. They came to join their compatriots who had settled since 1758 in Bécancour (including St. Angela) and Lake St. Paul.
Where are established on 4 Mother / Father Michael?
Peter, Lot 365, 12005, Leblanc Road (Lac-St-Paul), now Normand Bergeron.
Simon Peter's neighbor likely Lot 364, 12190, Chemin Leblanc (Lac St-Paul), now owned by René Léger Bergeron. The old house was located on the other side of the road.
Nantes Michel said Lot 181, 17040, boul. Acadians, now owned by Jacques René Bergeron.
Francis neighbor to the north-east of Michel, Lot 177, now partly in and partly Antoine Verfaillie Highway 55. The house she is now at 16495 Blvd. Acadians. It is not possible at this time whether this house was built by Francis or one of these descendants, the land has not always belonged to this branch of the family Bergeron. By cons, we know that when the expropriation for the construction of Highway 55 is Maurice Bergeron, a descendant of Pierre Charlot (a) who was the owner.
Pierre (b) he had land in the Lac St-Paul and St. Gregory, however, he had no offspring and was buried in Louisville.
Remarkably, except the land of Francis, all the land still belonged to Bergeron.
One last detail, Rev. Louis Richard was found in Bécancour a 5th Bergeron that he believes will be of Canadian origin or Charles Andrew, born around 1739, buried in Bécancour September 27, 1826. It was not related to the 5 brothers, for he marries without waiver of kinship, more children with children and grandchildren of these. However, he had married about 1771 an Acadian, Madeleine Poirier (Pierre and Marie Godet).

The Bergeron and Hebert
By R. P. Adrien Bergeron s.s.s.
Acadia or Nova Scotia: Great Peninsula English
Former French colony comprising what is now Nova Scotia and parts of New Brunswick. Discovered in 1497 by Sebastian Cabot. The Florentine Verazzani visited it in 1524, and called Acadia, the name given him by the natives themselves ... Acadia was the scene of a long series of disastrous wars between the English and French, to the capture of Louisbourg by the English in 1758, then to what it received a constitution modeled on that of England . It is part of the Canadian confederation in 1867 under the name Nova Scotia.
Genealogy --- An opinion
Extract: The spring of a generation, Paris, Nagel, 1946, page 39 by St George's Bouchelier.
The history of BERGERON take pages. Such a description is it worth the trouble? Besides the armed men and church people ... we see the clergy. Some of these, have held large positions in the courts, and in other places, but it is not about to list. There would be vain to stop there, and it would be a fool. There is no family who can boast a few good men, and in the smaller corporation, as in every line, we find the masters. No condition is not enough to make us shine, none of us endorse the degradation. What matters is the soul of a family, the energy it uses in its business, trends that are obvious and which, through generation after generation, eventually accomplished Type in a copy, and produce a masterpiece.
Our name represents the legacy of our ancestors, it is part of us, our name is no doubt that we cherish. The names have changed over time as our ancestors had a tradition of oral rather than written.
When surnames were formed around the tenth century, it was necessary to appoint those whose training was to feed the lambs, ewes and sheep, the name became Berger. Other people doing the same job would, because of their age or size, received the surname of Bergeron, that is to say "little shepherd". Curiously, they are the ones who have managed the miracle of foothold in New France, Acadia and elsewhere in North America.
Much of what we know about Andre Bergeron is the result of research conducted by the Archangel Godbout genealogist and author of the History of the Lordship of Lauzon, Joseph Armand Roy
It should be noted here that there were seven different strains BERGERON, two of whom were Acadian. So again pass them, one after another in chronological order the establishment of their home country. Their from France is available as follows:
1a - Jacques de Provence said Johiel married in 1669 to Gertrude Moral
1b - Dominique de Provence told Johiel married in 1698 in Quebec to Marie-Anne Milot. This family has radiated to Quebec and Montreal.
2 - Francois Bergeron married in Trois-Rivieres November 3, 1667 at Etiennette Leclerc. This family has radiated to Yamachiche and St. Francois du Lac.
3 - Francois du Poitou, married in Montreal in 1737 to Marie Jeanne Collet
4 - Jacques Larose said Lorraine Union May 19, 1749 to Marguerite Renaud
5 - BARTHÉLÉMY said of Ambrose of Touraine married at Port Royal in Acadia Serreau Genevieve St-Aubin
6 - Andre Aunis married in 1674 to Marguerite Dumay.
7 - Michel de l'Auvergne established at Port Royal in Acadia, married to Mary-Anne Gauthier.
Seven Bergeron, he should remember those whose offspring is the most significant aujourd'ui: Andrew and Bartholomew. Bartholomew was a sailor, the man whose arrival in Canada is around 1684, seems to settle in Quebec, where associated with a few friends, he established a bakery business. The fate being what it is, Barthelemy abandon his adopted country to go to Acadia, where the lead with its shipments of Iberville. Of his marriage were born at least ten children. His progeny was perpetuated in Acadia, despite the deportation. The Bergeron many Acadians in Quebec mainly in the Nicolet. The first Acadians who settled here Bergeron, Michel Bergeron of Nantes, in the area of Nicolet. But his story is that of the Acadia First, it is towards Barthelemy Bergeron, my ancestor, he must turn.
Barthélémy Bergeron d'Amboise said of Touraine (our earliest ancestors) and Bergeron Hebert, came from the same province of Old France: Touraine located, as a natural jewel among these other conditions well known in our history.
Poitou, Anjou, Orleans, and Berry, a province whose famous old writer had written: I was born in the garden of France's Touraine!. In olden days, yes, Touraine, with its incomparable landscape, with its fertile land voluntarily, by its mild climate year round, Touraine was a paradise for the election of many Kings and Queens of the great centuries, its history back to the time of the Caesars had earned him the nickname of West Jerusalem.
For the first Bergeron d'Acadie (when screening family) we specify a formal document and its local origin and the reason for his nickname. Indeed, in the archives of France on exiles in Cherbourg in 1767 in the role of names and nicknames qualities of the Acadians, honest families from North America who have served as military officers, we find the following statement: The Sieur de Bellefontaine, the St-Jean, lane Gabriel officer on ships of the King ... Staff was all militias (the place) ... Anne-Marie Bergeron, his wife (born in Port Royal, June 24, 1706) Father / Mother Barthelemy d'Amboise was and had been settled in Acadia, where he sailed on his behalf, and Delle Cerau St. Aubin.
Barthelemy Bergeron seems to have arrived in Acadia at the same time and that Arsenault Prince in 1671, and certainly as a sailor, like his whole life to come we will manifest. Thus will there be seen taking part in the famous expedition to the Chevalier de Troyes Bay North (Hudson and less precisely stated otherwise) in 1685 as a companion to the famous Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville as evidenced by the documents of the Superior Council of New France dated the following year. (I)
The Acadians (historians) have learned that d'Amboise are all actually Bergeron. Gaudet, the first partition souligNaissanceur census of 1714 or under the name of d'Amboise, Bartholomew is listed as residing near the Port of Fort Royal, and as having three boys and three girls.
Bergeron's first Acadian to settle in St-Grégoire de Nicolet, Michel, had the nickname De Nantes instead of Amboise from the fact that there were three Michel to follow, from father to son and that it should not be confused. Michel Bergeron, a native of Clermont in Auvergne, established in Port Royal, and married to Mary-Anne Gauthier. Michel Gauthier This is not to be confused with the little son or father / mother Bartholomew. The grandmother of Michael 2 (our ancestor) came from Nantes in Brittany, and that Michel was usually the marine service between this port in Europe and that of the St. John River.
BARTHÉLÉMY Bergeron said d'Amboise, married about 1695, at Port Royal in Acadia Delle Serreau Genevieve, St. Aubin, Father / Mother John and Marguerite Boileau. Genevieve was born in 1667 in Ile d'Orleans. She was baptized in Quebec City parish of Our Lady. She was only 8 years old when his family emigrated permanently in Acadia. After his father had sold his land multiple Ile d'Orleans, Quebec and even the Bay St. Paul. The latter firm had been granted to Bishop Laval, the sum of 7700 pounds. In Acadia, St. Aubin settled halfway between the Lords of the St. John River, and that of Pentagout, north-west Bay River St John, Frances Bay, and South is the establishment of St. Croix. Their fields included names enshrined in history: as the head of the Pond, Pesmocadie, the Port aux shells, and the addition of Le Havre. They played a strong role in these environments.
It is also known as d'Iberville in 1688, regimented recruits in France itself, on behalf of the Society of Acadia, and go to the sea in northern Canada. (Journal of American History F, Vol 5, page 402) But this only occurred after the first shipment. It is also known, however, that at the invitation of Minister Colbert, anxious to rebuild the navy to nine of the Kingdom, Charles Lemoyne sent three of his son, whose Iberville, studying at schools and maritime expeditions in France for four or five years. That's probably where Barthelemy Bergeron had knowledge and engagement with the future John Bart Canadian. By cons, even then, it retraces the same Bartholomew Acadia. Besides, he attended only the first shipment of North Bay, D'Iberville, which would make war so gloriously in Acadia itself, and furthermore take Lordship, at the bottom of the Baie des Chaleurs, already came there before, enlisting recruits choice. Sailors there being numerous and highly experienced.

Marty Jannetty wants induction
Even though he routinely bashes WWE for becoming a more kid friendly product, Marty Jannetty has been campaigning through social media for a hall of fame induction. A solo induction is unlikely to happen as his run was not all that memorable as a singles performer. His best chance of getting the honor would be if management decided to honor Shawn Michaels again by inducting the Rockers.
August 29, 2015
Shawn Michaels ladder match
When it comes to ladder matches, one of the most memorable ones involves Scott Hall and Shawn Michaels. That classic will forever be remembered by WWE fans. Management is hoping to capture some of that magic at Wrestlemania this year. Michaels himself noted on social media that a ladder match can have a major impact on the career of a performer. He feels that one of these guys might become a bigger star because of it.

Abdul Wahid Muhammad al-Nur, the Fur leader of the Darfur rebel movement known as the Sudan Liberation Army/Movement Abdul Wahid (SLA/M-AW) has returned to Africa after five years in Paris. He recently discussed a variety of issues with pan-Arab daily al-Sharq al-Awsat, including his rejection of secessionism as a solution to the Darfur crisis, his support for a secular government in Khartoum and his controversial support for diplomatic relations with Israel (al-Sharq al-Awsat, May 19).
Al-Nur has come under strong criticism from other rebel leaders in Darfur for leading his movement "from the cafés of Paris." Al-Nur, however, justified his absence from the battlefield as necessary due to "pressure" applied by Eritrea and the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) of South Sudan, as well as turmoil resulting from splits in the original Sudan Liberation Army/Movement (SLA/M), founded by al-Nur and several others at Khartoum University in 1992.
Al-Nur insists the creation of a "liberal, secular and democratic state" can only be achieved by toppling the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) and making its leaders accountable for war crimes in Darfur. According to al-Nur, "secularism is the answer for all of Sudan so religion cannot be used to kill people, annihilate them, oppress them, and confiscate their rights." The rebel leader draws a distinction between secularism and atheism, citing examples from the time of the Prophet Muhammad of issues whose resolution was achieved without reference to religious law. The Salafists, says al-Nur, view Islam only in terms of punishments, these being applied only against the poor.
Al-Nur visited Israel in February 2009 after establishing an SLA/M office there a year earlier (Sudan Tribune, February 27, 2008). Both moves were controversial, as they appeared, at least superficially, to validate President Omar al-Bashir's long-repeated claims that the rebellion in Darfur was orchestrated by Israel. His visit came in the company of a number of prominent European Jews and was reported to have included meetings with Israel's Mossad spy agency (Ha'aretz [Tel Aviv], February 16, 2009; Associated Press, February 16, 2009). During his time in Paris, al-Nur became close to Jewish philosopher Bernard Henri-Levy, who claims responsibility for convincing French President Nicolas Sarkozy to begin military operations in Libya and recognize the Benghazi-based rebel government. Though Khartoum has never recognized Israel, al-Nur maintains that his movement would establish diplomatic relations with Israel should it take power and would allow the opening of an Israeli embassy in Khartoum.
The SLM founder was coy about his exact whereabouts amidst continuing criticism regarding his absence from the front, saying only that he was now "in the heart of Africa." "Nobody knows if I am in the field or not, this is one of our secrets the Sudan Liberation Movement is a political movement that has a military wing. This means that my physical presence is not important because I am directing a military battle that requires planning, field commanders, diplomatic efforts, communication, and negotiation."
The South Sudanese were forced into a referendum on secession by the NCP, says al-Nur, who believes in a unified Sudan, though he respects the choice of the southerners. Nonetheless, he says his relationship with the SPLA/M has deteriorated recently despite government claims the SPLA/M is supporting his movement. Al-Nur rejects talk of secession for Darfur (which remained an independent sultanate until 1916) but says he cannot prevent others from discussing the possibility given the political atmosphere created by the NCP.
After years of continuing splits within the original SLA/M ("Every three people can now form a faction while sitting under a tree"), al-Nur has been engaged in a major campaign to reunify the Darfur opposition, signing unification deals with the SLM-Minni Minawi, the SLM Juba-Unity and the Revolutionary Democratic Forces Front (Radio Dabanga, May 28; Sudan Tribune, May 15; May 20).

Laysan albatross have a white head, neck, and underbody. Black mantle and upperwings. Underwings have black margins and irregular streaks on converts. They have a dark eye patch and their bill varies from gray to yellow with darker tip; pink legs/feet.
Laysans are monogamous. If one of the mates should die, they will most likely create a new pair bond. Nests are made up of surrounding grasses, dirt or shrubbery and are piled into large mounds that form a nest cup. Laying begins in mid-November. One egg is laid and incubation lasts about 65 days. Incubation starts with the female who usually stays for a short 2-day span. The male then takes over for as long as three weeks. During the month of December the number of incubating males outnumber that of incubating females 15:1. If the egg is infertile or breaks during incubation, re-laying will not occur that year.
Chicks hatch during late January to mid-February. Chicks live off a diet of flying fish eggs and squid oil, a product that is rich in fat. Both parents will feed the chick by regurgitation and will often leave them for several days while they obtain food out at sea. The rich squid and stomach oil is filled with fatty acids and nutrients that can sustain a chick for the number of days between feedings. Fledging occurs 5-6 months after hatching (mid-June through late July). Parents will often leave before the chicks have reached their full juvenile plumage.

can substantially increase the utility of the local knowledge one has available. Without those control structures, the local knowledge only functions by "popping up." With these control structures mediating "dig out" access, local knowledge can be brought to bear much more flexibly upon problems within the domain, and perhaps sometimes beyond the domain.
To summarize, in the fractal picture of mind we are painting, general and local knowledge exist in a symbiotic relationship. Local knowledge does not displace general knowledge as mastery develops. Rather, local knowledge develops through the compilation of general knowledge, but general knowledge continues to serve important control functions that, through "dig out" access, deploy local knowledge much more widely than "pop up" access would allow. This fractal character in problem solving becomes particularly salient and important when novel problems are encountered.
This perspective also has implications for instructional practice. It warns against an exclusive emphasis on local knowledge and on the presumption that local knowledge will automatically prove operative. It recommends attention to multiple levels of generality and to the processes of contextualization and abstraction that mediate between them.
Respecting the literature on expertise, one can acknowledge that general knowledge is helpless without local knowledge. But one must also recognize that local knowledge is rigid without general knowledge. Then what sort of knowledge is powerful? Really, it is the team that is powerful, the fractal structure with concepts occurring in variations at multiple levels of generality. Although developing these ideas in the context of programming, we suggest that this fractal picture of the role of generality in problem solving applies equally well to most other domains (cf. Perkins & Salomon, 1989).

My story is not a unique one. If you are reading this, then undoubtedly, you have experienced your own struggle with weight. You most likely did not receive the knowledge or the skills in your formative years to become a healthy adult. You probably lacked role models who could teach you to appreciate wholesome foods and enjoy exercise. Many of you were probably instructed as a child to "clean your plate" at mealtimes, and you must have all heard about the "starving children in China". You may have been rewarded for good grades and good behavior with food - candy, cookies, a trip to the ice cream store. When your little league team won a game, you went out afterward for pizza to celebrate. You were taught that food was a reward for a job well done, and the foods that made you feel the best were the ones that were the worst for you.
Maybe the lessons you learned were more subtle. Or maybe it was the lessons you were not taught that influenced you - self love and affirmation, how to handle stressful situations, how to cope with loss and rejection. Maybe somewhere along the way you became so wrapped up in your career or your family that you lost sight of yourself and what was good for you.
There are many roads that will lead you to be overweight or obese, but one thing is sure. Once you get there, it is uncomfortable, and we all want to go back.
How I Got Here
I was not always a fat girl, but I may as well have been. I did not start to gain my weight until I was nine years old. This was the year that my parents finally split and divorced for the last time. This was the year that I moved to Tennessee, along with my mother and my younger brother, to live with my grandparents. My grandparents adored us and wanted to give us all that was in their power to give. That meant a roof over our heads, unconditional love, and lots of food.
Twenty years ago in the South, there was little talk of "low-fat" or "sugar-free". My grandparents always had cakes, pies, potato chips, and other junk food in the house. If I wanted ice cream for breakfast, I could have it. If I wanted hamburgers for lunch and dinner, Pawpaw would make them. It was a child's fantasy come true.
The other change that was occurring at this time, which I could not comprehend as a child, was a hormonal surge that was directing my body to begin changing shape. "Hips become wider, breasts become larger, long bones stop growing." This combination of estrogen and free-for-all food intake resulted in a dramatic weight increase. By the time I entered eighth grade, I was five feet three inches tall and 210 pounds.
I was aware that I was fat. I began to journaling at age 11, and in each entry, I would mention my weight - how unhappy it was making me, what weight I would like to be, or how I planned to get to my goal weight. I could not wear the fashionable clothes the other kids were wearing because they did not make them in size 18. I did not participate in sports because I did not want to be the slowest, or the weakest, or the most out of shape person on the team.
Other people made me aware of my weight as well. When I would go for visits with my father, he would cleverly greet me with, "Hefty, hefty, hefty," a tagline from a current garbage bag advertisement. My brother was naturally thin, and to look at him was a reminder of what I was not.
But as unhappy as my weight made me, I was really powerless at this age to exact any real change in my body. Eventually, we moved out of my grandparents' house and into a home of our own. In order for my mother to afford this plus private school tuition for me and my brother, she had to work two jobs. This meant that my mother was rarely home. My brother and I spent afternoons after school and long summer days inside the house watching television and playing video games because it was the only way my mother knew to keep us safe. Most of the time, she did not have the time or energy after work to cook meals, so we would have either fast food or cafeteria food for lunch, and then anything that was quick and easy for dinner, which usually meant spaghetti, sandwiches, or something from a can. My lifestyle had become one of inactivity and poor eating habits. I was not unlike many children of this time who were living in the first decades of latchkey kids, Happy Meals, and a life of convenience.
I went from being a fat kid to a fat teenager to a fat adult. I tried on several occasions to lose weight, and most of the time, I was successful. But, the changes were always temporary. Something stressful would happen in my life, I would begin or end a relationship, or I might just be premenstrual. For whatever reason, I would lose my resolve, and the weight would return way more quickly than it disappeared. Finally, when I hit 250 pounds, I realized that I had to do something. I joined a gym with a friend and started working out. I drastically cut back my food intake, often skipping meals. I lost seventy-five pounds this way, and I was thinner than I had ever been!
It was during this time that I met the man who would become my husband. When Chris and I were married, I was still 175 pounds. My weight would fluctuate some over the next few years, but for the most part, I was able to stay under the 200 pound mark.
When I became pregnant, I was 180 pounds. I saw my pregnancy as an opportunity to indulge in all of the foods I had missed eating over the past years. It started slowly - a trip to McDonald's for a milkshake, a second helping at dinner time. But once I gave in, my body just wanted more and I did not have the willpower to fight the hormones that were raging inside me. I ended up gaining seventy pounds with my pregnancy, and I found myself back at that 250 pound mark.
I told myself that the pounds would melt away when I started breastfeeding Logan, and they did, but only about thirty-five of them. I still had thirty-five pounds left to lose to get to my magical 175, and I was stalled at 215 pounds. I was miserable. I was not prepared for the changes that occurred in my life as a result of having a baby and becoming a stay-at-home mom. Logan was a very needy child, and I was constantly holding him or feeding him. I was physically exhausted from a lack of sleep and from carrying around the extra pounds. I felt isolated from the world and missed the interactions I had with people when I was part of the business world. I had to do something.
How I Did It
So, to lose the weight and keep my sanity, I went back to the gym. The first time I went, I walked on the treadmill for twenty minutes at a pace of 3.0 (20 minutes/mile). That workout wore me out. On my way home, I thought about how glad I was that I made that first step, but I was also disappointed at how out of shape I had become. I made a promise to myself, though, that I would stick with the workouts. I went to the gym every day because I was afraid that if I let myself miss even one day of exercise, that I would lose my momentum and stop going altogether. My husband would watch the baby at night, and I would either walk on the treadmill or use the elliptical machine.
I lost thirty pounds this way - with cardiovascular exercise alone - and then plateaued at 185. I still had weight I wanted to lose, and I realized that in order to get over this hump, I would now need to change my diet. I turned to Weight Watchers to provide me with the structure I needed to take this next step. I threw out all of the high-fat, high-calorie, nutrient-poor food in the house that might tempt me and replaced it with fresh fruit and vegetables, lean meats, whole grains, and low-fat dairy. My husband supported me one-hundred percent. He said that if he wanted to eat something that he knew would tempt me, he would go out to eat it and not bring it into the house.
My original weight goal when I joined Weight Watchers was 175 pounds. That weight, for me, was the line that I believed I could not cross. It was the lowest weight I had ever achieved in my adult life. It was my prepregnancy weight. But Weight Watchers asked me to set a goal weight that put me in a healthy BMI range for my height, so I chose 150 pounds, never dreaming that I would achieve this.
After five months on Weight Watchers, I reached my goal of 150 pounds, and I felt so good, that I kept going. I finally settled in at a weight of 136 pounds through moving from Weight Watchers and evolving to weight lifting, clean eating, and proper meal timing. That has made it possible for me to maintain my weight since 2005 and completely change my physique.
Maintaining my weight has gotten easier, but it still is not easy. These days I know it's not just about the calories if you want to "look" good versus "weighing" good. There are many times I want to indulge in a little more dessert or load up on 100 calorie snack packs, but then I look at myself in the mirror, and I realize that these muscles aren't worth the sacrifice for a quick, emotional fix of junk food. I am thin. I am healthy. I am vital. I am beautiful. I am finally the woman I always felt I should be.
Just an update to my story...I now maintain between 145-150lbs. At 136 I had less muscle. From 2008-2011 I worked on adding muscle to my frame. Now I wear the same size clothes but weigh more. I look better and feel better than ever.
You just have to keep on going and remember this is a lifestyle!

Larrivee OM-40R Video Review
We are big fans of orchestra model guitars here at Fretbase, so you can imagine how drawn we were to the Larrivee OM-40R after watching this video review. Enjoy.
We are big fans of orchestra model guitars here at Fretbase, so you can imagine how drawn we were to the Larrivee OM-40R after watching this video review. Enjoy.
Popular acoustic guitarist Jack Johnson will be back with a new album in September and Fretbase has free streaming of the first single "I Got You." From what we can hear, the song is a return to form for the Hawaiian acoustic guitar player.
Game of Thrones is back! As you probably know the 3rd season kicked off last Sunday night. If you haven't had a chance to check out the series – do yourself a favor and get with season 1. To help celebrate the return of the series we have found a really cool version of the Game of Thrones theme song done on an acoustic guitar. Check it out!
We never get tired of Jimmy Fallon's musical sketches, including this one where he plays a Martin guitar with Selena Gomez for a rendition of "Mario Kart Love Song."
You have never heard of Mario Kart Love Song? Well actually, neither had we (it's an original composition) but we always like seeing a nice Martin guitar brought into the mix.
We think that it's because of Fallon's talent with his Martin that he'll be succeeding Jay Leno on The Tonight Show.
We're a big fan of the Tiny Desk Concerts that NPR posts on YouTube. And we're even bigger fans now that NRP has posted a tiny desk concert featuring Lyle Lovett.
For those of you that aren't familiar with the Tiny Desk Concerts, they are usually performed in what looks like the NPR offices for NPR staff and a very small group of people. In Lyle's Tiny Desk Concert, he performed just 3 songs (pretty much par for the course for a a Tiny Desk Concert) and all pretty early songs from his catalogue: Cowboy Man, If You Were to Wake Up and Good Intentions. And as always, Lyle is playing a pretty nice Collings Guitar.
The "Big Three" guitar manufacturers Fender, Gibson and Martin are joining forces with Guitar Center and Eric Clapton to put together an amazing collection based on some EC's most iconic guitars. Named the "Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Collection", it will consist of five limited-edition guitars that each signify important highlights in his career. Eric Clapton helped to spearhead the partnership and part of the proceeds of the sales will go towards the Crossroads Centre charity.
It's a pretty big event for us here at Fretbase when a major guitar manufacturer like Taylor Guitars introduces a new shape of guitar. So you can imagine our excitement here at Fretbase when we learned about Taylor's introduction of the Grand Orchestra guitar – its biggest body shape. We could tell you all about how Taylor decided to build a big bodied guitar with no pre-conceived notions, but it's even better to let them tell you themselves.
We came across a live recording of the late great Mr. Stevie Ray Vaughan playing his ode to his wife Lenora. Lenora bought Stevie a 1965 Fender Stratocaster which he named "Lenny" after his wife and used it for the song. There's a great backstory to the guitar and the purchase Lenora made for Stevie on his 26th birthday. This live recording from Tokyo in 1985 is a must-see for any guitar player…
Fender is updating it's well regarded Fender Select Series with new set of guitars for 2013. Fender originally announced the new Fender Select series in January 2012 and they're expanding the collection with 5 new guitars and a bass. Designed as "Select instruments for select individuals," the Select series are true players' instruments that put more than six decades of Fender experience and expertise into the guitars.
Judging by the amount of visitors we get here at Fretbase, we know that there are many, many guitar players out there. And if you are reading this, it seems highly likely that you have one on your gift list.
Since we have had it as our mission from Day 1 to bring happiness to guitar players the world over, we have prepared this list of gifts for guitar players that you still have enough time to order and get delivered before the holidays. (Well, at least, one set of holidays. Jewish guitar players will have to get their Hanukkah gifts late this year.)
Read on for five suggested gifts for guitar players that will keep your guitar player content through Valentine's Day (at which point we'll have more suggestions).

Delta Spirit
Ode to Sunshine, Delta Spirit's debut, was a suitably sunny romp among rock, country, blues, and pop roots from a 21st-century indie-rock perspective, ragged enough to authenticate the passion in Matt Vasquez's musings and soulful howl, as well as identify the San Diego quintet as true believers. Three years later, their sophomore effort, History from Below (Rounder), is even better. Vasquez has emerged as a formidable writer who eloquently captures the ambivalence of life's triumphs and tragedies, from the gospel-like "Vivian," with its touching, heartfelt chorus ("waiting to see heaven with you"), to the murderous revenge in "Ballad of Vitaly." The band's roots-savvy sound is masterfully crafted without being self-conscious, casually referencing the Band, the Stones, country blues, the Bakersfield sound, even the raucous glory of Let It Be-era Replacements. Much of Delta Spirit's explosive energy is kept in check on History in favor of songs that simmer and brood, building exquisite tension as Vasquez spins his tales, such as "Salt in the Wound," so taut with anguish by the end that the guitar strings whine at the strain. Elsewhere things rock a bit harder, especially "Golden State," with its slashing, Keith Richards-like guitar, and "911," rife with political implications and a Beatles chorus. Overall, it's a bristling, accomplished album from a confident band just hitting its stride. Opening will be Ezra Furman & the Harpoons, a band that emerged from Tufts University a few years back, quickly building a cult rep via a folkie-punk-indie-rock vibe attached to Furman's quirky narrative tunes (which have been compared to early Dylan). 18+.

So I had a bit of a rage moment and I think I scarred K for life with it. She's seen me sarcastic, she's seen me bitter, she's seen me roll my eyes and seen me be annoyed. She has never seen me turn ourselves around swearing at the top of my lungs about how much my city's snow removal sucks. Can I mention that it's 90% privatized too?
What happened was that the plows cleared the streets, which would have been well and fine if they had not DUMPED THE PACKED SNOW ONTO THE SIDEWALK high enough that I couldn't get G's stroller around it. Sadly my emergency contacts fell through and K could not get to school today. Instead of just stewing in the rage and eventually calming down, I called the city, lodged the complaint, was told that the sidewalk plows should be done by the end of the day and that my complaint will be looked at within 5 business days…..
Well….what good is that going to do?
In case anyone wants to know, I am a bit strict when it comes to education. School is the most important thing in K's life right now and while she adores it and I make it fun, education is no joke. Missing school once in a while in Kindergarten I can get over, but due to an abomination known as the windchill yesterday and the plow incident today, I'm freaking out and getting paranoid. Why paranoid? Because I live in the 3rd shittiest ward in the entire city….and no one cares about the residents here.
We're the last to get our sidewalks cleared after the hoity toity neighborhoods, we're the last to get our streets cleaned in the summer, the last to get the mosquitoes sprayed. Since we're high in Aboriginals, immigrants, and us under-the-poverty-line types, it's not a big deal if we get to enjoy a few less days outside because we're bombarded with mutant blood suckers. It's not a big deal if our street looks dirty because hey, we're all poor and dirty and no one is going to be visiting in our area anyway! It's not a big deal that some of the poorest of our society can't get around and get shit done. I mean, we're all welfare queens who've got all day today and tomorrow and omg AMIRITE??
Um, no. My husband has started work. I am in this alone and despite the best network of friends…well…they gotta work too. They can't drop everything because I'm having a shit fit. We can't move because we don't have the income to move. I certainly don't have the time to shovel the area sidewalks all by myself, though if I did I'm sure I'd be a hero to my neighbours. My parent's area? With less people and fancy cars? Already done yesterday. Core area where we need to get around so badly? They'll get around to it. It's amazing the paranoia you develop when you live in a forgotten area, because a little thing like a fucking snow plow not doing its proper job makes you think of how forgotten you are as a person. This city has SUCH a shitty attitude towards the core area and its residents. The worst part is that it comes from gross Conservative types who think Winnipeg is all that. Fellow Canucks, you know the kind….Toronto tastes with a Flin Flon budget. They're oh so concerned about the image of the city though they don't realize that maybe if they cared about ALL areas of the city equally, we'd be better off.
In the meantime, that little girl in the picture? She cried on the way back. Because she can't go to school. She was looking forward to singing the Number Rock. Maybe next time I'll get a note from the city asking the school to excuse her absence due to lack of proper planning and City Hall douchebaggery.

It's strawberry season here in Ontario, which means I'll be eating my weight in these ruby red fruits. While you may love them for their deliciously sweet flavour, make no mistake, strawberries are among the best foods for you.
Why we love strawberries: They rival citrus fruits for vitamin C content, and are packed with antioxidants, too. Anthocyanins are potent antioxidants that give strawberries their vivid red colour, help reduce inflammation and may also curb the growth of cancer cells. They're low in calories and high in fibre, folate and potassium.
How to use them: Look for organic berries that are red all the way to the tip, a sign that they're fully ripe (strawberries don't ripen after picking). Beware of mould: It spreads quickly from berry to berry. If you're not using your strawberries immediately, look through the container and pick out any spoiled ones. Plan to eat the berries within a day or two.
Although strawberries taste best when they're in season, freezing them preserves their freshness to use year-round. To freeze, wash whole berries, remove the leafy portion on top and pat the berries dry. Spread them out on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a sealable glass container.

Additional Information
A pregnant woman, Rhonda Kaufmann, who received services and support from a WIC program was offered prenatal care subsidized by the county government at a local HMO. When she went to the HMO for the first visit, she was asked if she would agree to participate in a survey designed to help evaluate the care she received and to release the records of her prenatal, delivery and postpartum care for that purpose. She agreed.
The county agency hired a sociologist, Dr. Sue Staffee, to conduct the survey and to do the evaluation. There were a number of agencies providing prenatal care, and the county government wanted to determine which agencies were most effective. The county agency permitted the sociologist to publish results from the evaluations since she was interested in studying the access to health care across various groups in the county. A year after she had completed the evaluation, she was contacted by Jane Thipen, one of Dr. Staffee's graduate students. The graduate student explained that she was analyzing the data from the evaluation survey for her dissertation on social factors related to low birth weight. She asked if she could make an appointment to interview this woman further and promised to pay her for her time. The woman felt that her privacy had been violated and complained to officials of county government.

Two Weeks of Heaven
By: Jay Bergman for the Daily Racing Form
Racing related activity shifts to the Bluegrass State for the next two weeks. The arrival of Grand Circuit racing at Lexington's famed Red Mile at the beginning of autumn signals a chance for owners of current two and three-year-olds to solidify claims of supremacy. It also brings hope for those who breed standardbreds and those looking for future champions.
It's a rare mix in the fall in Lexington. The chance to visit breeding farms and inspect the next generation of race horses can be exhausting work. At the same time, Lexington offers many in the sport a chance to cross paths with people only seen on the road. Two weeks is necessary to have the opportunity to see yearlings in the field, watch and bid on future stars, and catch today's greatest horses on the track, a surface that has produced some of the greatest moments the sport has seen.
The two-week Grand Circuit meet at the Red Mile commences September 30 through October 3 and October 7 through October 10.
The schedule is absolutely perfect. Though at points in the past Grand Circuit racing was reserved for the afternoon. Given the need for owners and trainers to have a chance to inspect horses at various locations, offering night racing during the first three days is ideal.
There's always excitement in the air in Kentucky. Horse lovers are horse lovers, and there are many that feel they have come home when they venture to Lexington in the fall. Generations have come and generations will come, and each year the Red Mile will represent something new and captivating.
On the racing schedule, the key races will be the Kentucky Futurity, the sport's oldest stakes event on October 10. Again adjusting to modern times, the Red Mile will make it's last afternoon of Grand Circuit racing its best. Not only will it feature the best three-year-old male and female trotters, it will highlight the best aged performers of both sexes and gaits in the Allerage finals.
The racing calendar and the enormous money available in Sire Stakes races throughout North America, has limited the travel of many of our potentially bright Grand Circuit stars of the future. At the same time, more and more owners and trainers have become convinced that it is in their horses best interest to travel less, race less often, and wait until horses have matured more before going into battle.
That is why Lexington's races have more significance than any others for the juveniles. We get a first chance to see what will happen when horses with impressive credentials in regional action, take on horses they have not raced against or been on the same tracks with.
The first week of Grand Circuit racing at The Red Mile is an exciting time for breeders and buyers alike. Race callers through the ages have happily announced to those assembled at the track, and now throughout the simulcast universe that, "A full brother to So & So sells as Hip No. 35 on Tuesday night." The practice of racing in Late Closers with young inexperienced horses that just happen to have their yearling brothers or sisters selling at auction only a few days later, is just the type of appetite whetting needed to stir the soul and loosen the purse strings.

Rove: Perry's Book Is His Biggest Problem
Some of the toughest questions Texas Gov. Rick Perry will likely face at Wednesday night's GOP debate might spring from his own words – his 2010 book "Fed Up!"
Karl Rove, a GOP strategist for former President George W. Bush, went beyond that Wednesday on ABC's Good Morning America, saying the book's take on Social Security is Mr. Perry's "biggest challenge" as a 2012 candidate. In the book, Mr. Perry suggested Social Security was unconstitutional and called it a "Ponzi scheme." "If you say Social Security is a failure and ought to be replaced by a state-level program, then people are going to say: 'What do you mean by that?' And make a judgment based on your answer to it," Mr. Rove said. "He's got some formidable strengths. But this is his biggest challenge."
"They are going to have to find a way to deal with these things," Mr. Rove also said of the book. Mr. Rove is a WSJ columnist and commentator on Fox News; both Fox and The Wall Street Journal are owned by News Corp.
The dilemma: Step away from what he wrote, and his opponents are likely to brand him a flip-flopper, but fully embracing the idea of ending Social Security as we know it makes voters, particularly seniors, nervous.
Mr. Perry's communications director, Ray Sullivan, backed off the description of Social Security in an interview last month. The book "is a look back, not a path forward," Mr. Sullivan told the Wall Street Journal.
For now, Mr. Perry isn't backing away. During a campaign swing through Iowa last month, he again called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme."
"It is a Ponzi scheme for these young people. The idea that they're working and paying into Social Security today, that the current program is going to be there for them, is a lie," Mr. Perry told a crowd in Ottumwa. He added during a later stop in Des Moines, "I haven't backed off anything in my book. So read the book again and get it right."
There will be at least one candidate on stage tonight who may be slow to go after Mr. Perry and book. Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker, wrote the foreward. "Every American has a duty to rein in the out-of-control federal government," Mr. Gingrich wrote. "Fed Up! is your handbook."

Very nice. I like the different floor colors/patterns as this really sets it off and makes it artistic...pulling the eye this way and that.

I like everything except the pattern used for the areas outside the castle itself.
It was very distracting (at least for me) and takes away from the inside goodness.

Yeah, for the area outside, to break it up, use some more different types of fills, like som cobblestone, and some of the semi transparent dirt and grass fills.
Also, with the outdoor grass fill to make it less jarring change it from a scale of 5 (for example) to 10 or 15 to offset the repeating pattern aspect.

The Maryland football team opened preseason practice Monday afternoon in College Park, the first of the Big Ten era. Here's a brief rundown of the first day.
Date: Aug. 4
Open practice number: 1
Duration: About 110 minutes.
Location: Practice field.
Dress code: Helmets only.
Injured and out: DB Milan Collins, DB Rashid Conteh
Randy Edsall on how long Collins will be out: "They'll just be doing some things with him from a rehab standpoint, just see how he continues to progress."
— Maryland ran more than 30 plays of 11-on-11 midway through practice, which was up-tempo and featured heavy work for the four running backs in the hunt for the starting job: sophomores Wes Brown and and sophomore Jacquille Veii, and juniors Albert Reid and Brandon Ross. Brown in particular looked really shifty and was explosive catching the ball out of the backfield. Starting quarterback C.J. Brown looked mobile, and completed passes on the move to sophomore tight end Andrew Isaacs both from short and intermediate range. Isaacs is in a three-way battle to win the starting job against sophomore P.J. Gallo and redshirt freshman Derrick Hayward.
"I think that will start to shake out," Edsall said. "I think Andrew had a really good summer. He's a guy that can give us those opportunities that we're looking for. Derrick's getting better, putting on weight. So again, P.J. didn't have as good of a summer as those guys. So hopefully same thing, separation will take place here early in camp."
— Stefon Diggs was back in his first extensive action since last fall, donning a black visor on his white helmet and looking in shape. He caught several hard-thrown slants from Brown, and participated in punt return drills with William Likely, Taivon Jacobs and DeAndre Lane.
Brown was most impressed with the speed of the skill position playmakers on Monday: "The releases that they had, just getting the ball up in the air and letting them run underneath and get it, you know that's always good to see, especially on Day One."
— Starting kicker Brad Craddock hit 4 of 6 field goals from varying ranges, including a deep boot that hit the left post. Redshirt freshman Adam Greene, who played locally at Broadneck High, connected on all six of his attempts.
— Edsall told reporters before Monday's session that one of the goals this week was to install base offense and defensive schemes and that tight goal-line sets would be run during the first practice. The exercise came at the end of the practice, with the starters and backups shuffling through about 20 plays. It wasn't all smooth. Following a nice pass breakup by Likely on a comeback route on the third play of the session, Ross fumbled a snap, and the much of the defensive coaching staff went nuts in reaction. Reid got a steady dose of carries, as did Veii, who made several notable runs to score and earn praise from his teammates. Also celebrating after scoring a touchdown was tight end Hayward, the converted linebacker who ran a precise route into the corner of the end zone and hauled in a score from backup quarterback Caleb Rowe.
— Here's Edsall speaking more on the departure of wide receiver Nigel King, who was granted his release Friday and plans to transfer: "We wish Nigel well as he goes on. He graduated, which is the number one priority for him and like I said we'll wish him well and really focus on the guys that are here."
