In 1910 when 19-year-old Lloyd Read wanted to marry Miss Lillie Belle Munro of Arkansas, lately come to Oregon, his family told him no, that she came from "poor white trash." However, although Lillie's Southern ancestors, the Whittingtons, were not quite the aristocracy of Gone with the Wind, they had been relatively wealthy slave-holders in North Carolina and Tennessee. They had so many children in their family, though, that they did not maintain their same standard of wealth in the next generation, which included Lillie's grandfather Solomon, and Solomon's family became poorer still after the Civil War.
James and Frances (Maynard) WhittingtonBeginning with the generation born during the Revolutionary War, our ancestor James Whittington1 was born 23 June 1776 in Johnston County, North Carolina to Richard and Olive (Stephenson) Whittington. Richard owned property in Johnston County and had sold property before the 1770s in Edgecombe County. He and Olive had four children before James and five after. The children's names were Lucretia, who married Asa Austin; Peggy, who married Allen Johnson; Allen Whittington; Mary, who married William Wilder; James Whittington; Sally, who married George Mainord; Richard Whittington, who married Sarah Dupree; Solomon Whittington, who married Sarah Lassiter; William Whittington, who married Sally Eason; and Jonathan Whittington, who married Clary Green 1st and Sally Allen 2nd. James's father, Richard, had been born in Edgecombe County, North Carolina on 18 December 1748 and died in Johnston County, North Carolina on 20 October 1820, at the age of 72.
1The surname was spelled Whittington, Witington, Whittenton, or Whitenton, depending on who was writing it in the various documents. Different branches of the family began to standardize the name using whichever spelling they preferred after about 1810. I will use the spelling for adults preferred by each family member if I can determine it.)
The 1790 census shows that Richard held no slaves, nor did any of his Whittington relatives living in his immediate neighborhood, nor did his in-laws' families, the Stephensons. In his immediate neighborhood were 195 free white men over the age of sixteen, 317 free white boys under sixteen, 625 free white women and girls, 24 other free persons, and 422 slaves.
James and Frances up to 1820
James, as a young man in Wake County, North Carolina, married Miss Frances Maynard (also spelled Mainard and Mainord), who went by the name of "Frankie," on 9 April 1798. Frances was the daughter of William Maynard and his wife Agatha (possibly surnamed Davron); Frances was born on 15 February 1780 in Wake County. In the 1790 Census, a William "Mainyard" lived in Wake County with three males over 16, five males under sixteen, three females, and seven slaves. This was probably Frankie's family. Nearby lived the family of Gibson Maynard, who could easily be Frankie's uncle. Together James and Frankie had 13 known children, born probably in Johnston County:
- William Maynard Whittington, b. 9 February 1799.
- Richard Merritt Whittington, b. 16 September 1800.
- Agatha Bless Whittington, b. 27 October 1802.
- Talitha Cumi Whittington, b. 13 March 1805.
- Gibson Whittington, b. 29 June 1807.
- Weston Whittington, b. 8 July 1809.
- George Arthur Whittington, b. 1 June 1811.
- Solomon Yancy Whittington, b. 20 July 1813.
- Othaniel Whittington, b. 10 January 1816.
- Cason Coley Whittington, b. 18 February 1818.
- James Henderson Whittington, born 8 June 1820.
Frankie's father, William Maynard, died about 1817 and the probate took about two years to be settled. In May 1817 her brother George and others petitioned for a division of the real estate, and in November 1818 James and Frances Whittington and others petitioned for division of the real estate. Apparently William Maynard had been a relatively prosperous man; his heirs appear to have fought over exactly how his estate would be divided. His will is a mass of contradictions. After the will was settled, James Whittington appeared to have moved into the slave-holding class of society. Frankie and James inherited a slave named Dolly from the estate of William Maynard.
It is interesting to note that in 1804 the last of the northern states to abolish slavery, New Jersey, effectively created the North-South dividing line along the old Mason-Dixon line that divided Pennsylvania from Virginia and Maryland. The United States then passed its first abolition-oriented law, the Slave Trade Act of 1807, which outlawed importing slaves from overseas. Sadly, this law was widely ignored in the South. It is evident that the Whittington family obeyed the law, though probably due to economics rather than to moral conviction. They identified with their Southern compatriots.
The Family in the 1820s
The 1820 Census listed James Whittington among the heads of families of Johnston County, North Carolina. With him was a woman aged 25–45, which was his wife Frankie. There were two girls in the 10–16 category, Agatha and Talitha at the ages of 17 and 15 actually; and there were nine boys and young men. The four under age ten were Solomon (7), Othaniel (5), Cason Coley (2), and James Henderson. The youngest boy, James Henderson Whittington, was two months old when the census taker came that summer and lived only until the next May. The three between 10 and 16 must have been Gibson (13), Weston (11), and George (George was 9, but perhaps they rounded up his age—they definitely had Agatha in the wrong category). The young men aged 18–26 must have been William and Richard, who were 21 and 19, respectively.
There were two slaves in this family. One was a woman aged 26–45 who must be Dolly, and the other a young man aged 14–25. Considering that Frances was in charge of a household consisting of three men and nine children under age 16, and one of the two girls she could expect to help her with housework may have had some problems, and she was expecting another baby within a month, perhaps Dolly was a household worker. The young slave man perhaps was helping James and the older young men with the farm work. The price of slaves in the 1820s was between $300 and $400, depending on age and sex, so we can see that the James Whittingtons were now on the wealthier side of society. Most slave-holders in the Carolinas at this time were owners of small or medium-sized farms, and they had one to just a few slaves. Only the wealthy plantation owners could afford to have many slaves, as was the case with Frankie Mainard Whittington's father.
The next children to be born to James and Frankie were:
- Quince Tillian Whittington, b. in 1822.
- Frances Ann Whittington, b. 14 January 1829.
On 16 February 1823 daughter Agatha Bless Whittington married Alexander S. Collins in Johnston County, North Carolina. Her eldest brother, William, signed the bond for the marriage license. Perhaps her groom was too poor to afford it.
According to Diane Bollert's research, the Whittingtons were members of the Primitive Baptist Church of Johnston County.
The Family in the 1830s
The 1830 Census showed James and Frankie living in Johnston County, North Carolina, with nine children, two of whom are a mystery. Talitha was a young woman now, possibly helping her mother in the house. Solomon and George were between 15 and 20 and surely would be helping with the farm work, as would Cason and Othnell, between 10 and 15. Even 8-year-old Quince would do his share of chores. The girl under 5 was baby Frances Ann, but there were two other small boys, one under 5 and one between 5 and 10 who are unknown to us. It could be that these were two children born in that seven-year period between Quince and Frances Ann, and perhaps they died as children and their names were lost to posterity. Another possibility is that they were children of William, who was said to have been married quite young, but no record of his family has yet turned up. If this were the case, there was no woman in the household who could be William's wife, so either William's wife had died, or the scenario was something entirely different.
Even with all those boys to help with the farm work, one of the two slave women on the 1830 census, one age 10–23 and the other age 24–35, was probably working with them in the fields. By this time, landowners with many slaves were discovering that they could make a lot of money by hiring their slaves out to other farms. The Whittingtons may very well have had hired slave labor to work in the fields as well as using their own slave and the sons of the family. It seems likely their other slave was working in the house, helping Frances with the children and the enormous amount of work all these people would generate. The older of the two slave women could be Dolly, if she was 26 in 1820 and was 35 at this census, taken a different time of the year.
Frances had borne 13–15 children in thirty years and was probably worn down with all the work. In 1830 she was 50 years old; she had 11 boys and men, four women, and a baby to feed at least three times every day. The laundry must have taken two full days a week, and the ironing a full day, and sewing or mending would have to be done every day, not to mention the daily cleaning and regular heavy scrubbing, carrying water, etc. Their culture and circumstances would have led them to believe the slave women were necessary, especially since James was obviously wealthy enough to afford them.
This evidence shows that James had become prosperous. The slaves' cost was around $600 then, which would be about $15,400 in 2012 dollars. James probably sold the young slave man he had owned in 1820 and bought another woman, unless these two slave women were a mother and her 10-year-old daughter, born just after the last census. Slave women and girls were worth more than slave boys or young men, until the men were about 25 years old, and then the cost became about equal. Various studies have shown that it was actually less expensive to employ farm workers than to own slave workers until the farms were turned to cotton, but at this time they were planted in various crops including tobacco, but cotton was not yet king. The economics and politics and the culture of the time were somewhat complicated, to say the least.
James' son Richard did not move with the family. He had married Martha Helen Peebles in North Carolina on 16 March 1826 and had a farm there into the 1860s. On October 3, 1837, son William acquired land in Victoria County, Texas, so perhaps he moved from North Carolina all the way down there. Son Weston had married Lucy Ann Williams about 1831 and had a son born in North Carolina in 1832. Weston's next son was born in Tennessee in 1836; he had bought property in Madison County on 26 December 1835, the first of the family to do so. James had bought property in Johnston County, North Carolina, in the summer of 1836, and then two years later he bought land in Madison County, Tennessee, on September 13, 1838.
Tennessee was being settled at a faster rate in those days than it had before—the wilderness seemed just about tame there. The Indian Removal Act had been passed in 1830, and in 1838 and 1839 President Martin Van Buren's administration forced more than 17,000 Cherokee Native Americans, along with their approximately 2,000 black slaves, off the land and sent them west. In came the white settlers with their own black slaves.
After moving to Tennessee, helped or not, Frankie died early in 1839 at age 59, probably worn out by childbearing and the heavy work of those days. The family name began to change. Back in North Carolina, it was mostly spelled Whittington. In Tennessee it began to be spelled Whittenton, and some branches of the family would adopt Whitenton later on.
During the 1830s the Whittington family would have been interested in and partial concerning the various political changes that affected the Southern way of life. The Nullification Crisis in South Carolina established the precedent of a state rebelling against the Federal government over the issue of states' rights, and President Andrew Jackson himself stated that the next crisis between the states and the federal government would be over the issue of slavery.
The Family in the 1840s
The 1840 U.S. Census lists Father James and his family in Madison County, Tennessee with two of his sons living very close by. In his household, James had one boy age 15–20 which was Quince. He had three boys age 20–30 which were Othnell, Solomon, and George. He was between 60–70 years of age. On the female side he had a girl between 10–15 which was Frances Ann. He also had a young woman in the family between 20–30 who must have been Talitha, although she was 35 years old at this point. But she seemed to always shave years off her age in later census records, so this is not too surprising. The total in the household was 10; there were three slaves with the family. Two female slaves were in the 24–36 and the 20–24 age categories. These women could be the same two slaves listed in this household in 1830, but if so, the older woman cannot be the same one as in 1820 unless the ages assigned her are way off in one census or another, which of course is possible, given that Talitha had lost a good ten years off her age and could have been the one giving the information to the census taker. The slave boy was 10–24; he could easily be a son of one of the women.
The number of persons engaged in agriculture in this household was four, and since Othnell, Solomon, and George were all farmers as soon as they were on their own, they must have been three of the workers. It seems likely that James himself was the fourth, which leads to the rather surprising conclusion that probably none of the slaves was helping with the farm work. But with Frankie recently dead and a little girl still to rear, perhaps one of the slaves was devoted to little Frances Ann as a nurse-governess. Talitha may have had some mild mental disability—perhaps that was why the family seemed to consider her younger than she really was. One of the slaves was certainly in charge of the household work.
With thirteen children in James and Frankie's family, this gets a little complicated, but we will try to say where each of the children was during the 1840s.
Son William didn't appear in the 1840 Census because he was in Texas, and at that time Texas had declared independence from Mexico, winning its war officially in 1836 but continually being attacked by Mexican forces, particularly those under Santa Anna, until the United States intervened in 1846 and annexed Texas after beating Mexico in 1848. A tax assessment exists for W.M. Wittenton in 1846 in Victoria County, where he eventually died.
In the 1840 Census, son Richard M. Whittenton lived in Panther Branch, Wake County, North Carolina. He had a wife and two boys under ten and two girls ages 10–15 listed with him. These children were Mazy Helen, Eliza Jane, James Thadeus, and John Peebles.
On August 20, 1840, son Gibson married Elizabeth Williams in Madison County, Tennessee, and the two of them appeared in the Census four households above his father's family. Gibson was recorded as working in agriculture.
Next door to Gibson was Weston's family in the 1840 Census listing. Weston had a wife age 20–30, same age as he; they had three children listed. They had a son under age 5 who was James, age 3. They had two daughters listed on the census, the elder age 5–10 who should have been a male, John Rufus, age 8; and the other a girl under 5 who corresponds to baby Sarah. Curiously, the total number for this family was listed as 6 although only five tick marks were present on the census. Sometimes census takers got things wrong. Perhaps when he came around, all the children, along with their cousins, maybe three dogs and four cats and the family pig were all around him making noise and he couldn't hear the mother right. Sometimes it simply was because the family was not at home and the census taker asked a neighbor to describe the family. Weston was recorded as working in agriculture.
Son Solomon got into trouble in 1841 in the Madison County Court for having fathered an illegitimate child with a woman named "Louvisey Manor" in McNairy County (south of Madison) two years before and failing to pay its support, but the Court decided it had no jurisdiction over the case since the mother and child had lived two years in McNairy County from the time of the birth, so Solomon was apparently off the hook. There is no evidence that he ever recognized this child as his own, and perhaps it was not.
Son Cason Coley did not appear in the 1840 census, and we have to wonder whether he had gone to Texas or where he was. He was 22 at the time of the Census. He later appeared to have acquired land near where William lived, but William died all alone, so Cason Coley could not have been with him. Maybe Cason Coley went wandering around the west until he felt like returning to Texas.
On February 5, 1844, Father James married Mrs. Kettura (Katherine) Lester Betts, a 57-year-old widow, in Madison County, Tennessee. She owned 300 acres in Madison and Haywood counties, a single plot left to her by her husband William Betts, who had died September 7, 1835.
Son Gibson and his wife Elizabeth probably moved over to Dyer County, northwest of Madison County, by 1844. Their daughter Martha was born there, and then they moved back to Madison County.
On February 5, 1846, son George Arthur married Martha Elizabeth Bledsoe in Madison County. He was 35, she was 19.
During the 1840s, son Weston moved to Texas, first living in Victoria County near where his brother William had acquired land several years before. He eventually settled in Goliad County.
The baby sister of the family, Frances Ann Whittington, married Christopher C. Harris on 14 February 1848 and moved to Arkansas; nothing further is known about them.
Down in Texas William died at the age of 49 or just 50, before 12 March 1849 in Victoria County. I have not been able to trace whether he ever married or what became of his children if he had any. His death records show no heirs at all, not even his brothers. Dates for the distribution of his land by deeds are on 4 June 1850, 25 June 1850, 12 February 1853, and 26 November 1853. His personal estate was auctioned in May 1849 and the rest of his estate settled by October 1851.
Politically, the 1840s affected the Whittington family chiefly by the United States having acquired Texas and several territories at the end of the Mexican War. Many Southerners were moving to Texas as cotton gained in economic importance and farmers depleted their soil by overplanting it with cotton. They looked to the southwest for new lands and were glad when Texas was added to the U.S. as a slave state, giving them the rights and freedoms they had been used to and also helping to balance power between the North and South in the U.S. Congress. However, this led to a four-year struggle between political forces over the issue of slavery that ended short of war when the Compromise of 1850 was signed, allowing California to join the Union as a free state in return for the Territories of New Mexico and Utah (which encompassed the present-day states of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Nevada) to allow slavery.
The Family in the 1850s
In 1850 Father James, with his wife Kettura, had a farm worth $1000, which in 2012 value would be approximately $60,000. He had four slaves, and his sons Quince and Othnell, ages 23 and 30, were working as farmers for him. His daughter Talitha also lived there (it says she was 40, but she was really 45—and the census shows that she was illiterate as well. With all the rest of the family being literate, including her sisters, this seems to indicate that Talitha might have had some sort of disability, though she was not listed in the "insane" or "idiot" columns).
The slaves were two women ages 60 and 25, a young man age 23, and a boy age 9. The older woman, born about 1790, could have been Dolly, with them from 1817, if her age in the 1840 census was off by about 9 years (which could easily have been the case). The younger woman could be her daughter or the man her son; or they could have been a married couple. No doubt the younger slaves were working the land with the sons.
In 1850 daughter Agatha had split with Alexander Collins and was keeping house for her brother Solomon, who was not married. (Alexander Collins died in 1860 in North Carolina; he apparently never remarried.) With Agatha and Solomon Whittington was a 13-year-old girl named Catherine Collins who might be Agatha's daughter, but we have no way of knowing. She could be another relative of Agatha's former husband. Agatha was going by the name of Whittington again and married a Mr. Crabtree the next year. Also in 1851 Agatha joined the Baptist Church in Madison, Tennessee. That is the last we know of her until she died in 1889 at the age of 86.
In 1850 son Gibson and his wife Elizabeth had moved back to Madison County from Dyer County, Tennessee. Their farm was worth $250, and they had four children: Sarah James Frances, age 9; Elender, age 8; Martha L, age 6; and David Williams Whittington, age 3. They had no slaves; instead, they had an 18-year-old hired man named George Smith
In 1850 son Weston was in Victoria County, Texas with his wife, Lucy Ann, and their four children: John R, age 18; James William, age 13; Sarah C, age 10; and George Maynard, age 7. Their farm was about 140 acres and they were doing well. Weston had no slaves; he and his elder son had cultivated a part of their land and they were raising pigs. They had oxen to plow their land.
Son George and his wife, Martha, lived in Madison County, Tennessee, with their three children when they were recorded in the 1850 Census: James Maynard, age 3; Mary Frances, age 2; and Thadeus, 8 months. George had no slaves, although he had a farm worth $300; he had only a part of it under cultivation. In 1853 George and his family joined the Baptist Church of Madison, Tennessee, the same one his sister Agnes had joined two years earlier.
Solomon in 1850 was farming, but he had no property worth anything and lived next door to his father, so he was probably still helping with his father's farm; however, his fortunes were about to change.
The farm work was probably too much for Father James. He was 74 years old in 1850. At the end of the next year he gave his sons Solomon and "Otel" (Othnell) gifts of parcels of land. First he gave Othnell 110 acres on November 28, 1851, and a month later he gave Solomon 50 acres on December 20th.
Certainly James Whittington must have been slowing down at the end of 1851. Just two and a half years after dividing the bulk of his land between his sons, he died on May 20, 1853. It is interesting to speculate on the family dynamics that led to this curious division of land. Othnell, it seems, was the heir to the bulk of his father's property. The older sons—William, Richard, Gibson, Weston, and George—all seemed to have acquired property without their father's giving it to them, but perhaps he had helped with money. William of course died before his father. The rest of the older sons were married before their father passed away.
Solomon appeared to have been the black sheep here. Until he married in 1851, his father appeared not to have helped him, and then only at the very end of the year, and with less than half what the younger, single brother was given a month earlier. Presumably Cason Coley had been helped to acquire land in Texas in the same way his older brothers had been.
The daughters were not given land by their father, but perhaps they were given dowry money. After Agatha's marriage ended, she moved into a house with her brother Solomon and kept house for him. Perhaps they were two "black sheep" together.
Father James may have provided for his other children, if the action of Othnell ten years later in granting his sister Talitha and his brother Quince jointly fifty acres can be construed as complying with James's wish that Othnell take care of them.
After James's Death
James Whittington had such a large family to provide for that it seems to have somewhat depleted his resources. Certainly none of his children attained the wealth that their father had acquired, and several of the children had very large families themselves. It was probably economics that encouraged four of the five brothers who relocated from Tennessee to Texas. The eldest son, William, went there first, perhaps as early as 1837, and maybe Cason Coley went about the same time. Next Weston migrated in the mid-to-late 1840s, and Gibson joined them after Father James' death, probably about 1854. Finally, after the Civil War ended, Quince went to Texas, probably to escape the consequences of not finishing his military service during the War. George, Solomon, and Othnell stayed in Tennessee, and of course Richard never left North Carolina. Of the daughters, Talitha stayed in Tennessee with her brother Othnell's family. We don't know where Agatha went after marrying Mr. Crabtree. Frances Ann ended up in Arkansas, her husband obviously one of those who took advantage of the opening up of the southwest, although they didn't go as far as Texas. Of all the family, only Othnell had the kind of wealth approaching that of their father. He was the only slave owner of them all as well.
By the 1850s many slave-owners, excluding the very wealthy plantation owners, had realized that selling their slaves was more lucrative than keeping them to work the land. By those times in Tennessee it was definitely more economical to hire workers rather than to own them. Even Othnell with his greater acreage and personal property than his brothers in 1860 owned just three slaves, a woman and her two little sons, compared with their closest neighbor who had 18.

I told you I wouldn't be able to keep up the blogging again. Ah well, I'm sure you haven't missed me!!
This week's training didn't get off to the best of starts. Up until this point, things have, generally, gone well with this cycle and I have felt that the projected numbers were within my reach.
Last Monday (12th January), the 3 sets of 5 at 95kg squats (with wraps) felt heavy and like I had to fight every single rep (although the video makes them look a lot easier than they actually were). I did every rep of every set, and just hoped it was a bad day.
Of course, this played on my mind (well, I am The Worrier after all!!). This week, I was scheduled to do 3×3 at 100kg! Although I felt like I was approaching the bar with attack and confidence, apparently my face told a different story.
I warmed up, only putting the wraps on for my final warm up set at 95kg, and then loaded the bar with two plates (so badass! lol). Rep 1 was tough, but I got it. Rep 2 was ugly: my knees can together and I had to fight to push them out again. Rep 3 was painfully slow and almost a failure!
This worried me! I felt knackered and the first set was awful! How was I going to be able to do two more sets?
I didn't. Set 2, I got the first rep but failed the second. Set 3 was the same. Beating myself up and telling myself what a shit lifter I am, I decided to do two more singles. After the first one, I gave up! I'd been in the squat rack for an hour and a half, I still had 8 sets of speed deadlifts to do, plus two other accessory exercises…
I hate not being able to do what I put my mind to, although it would seem my mind wasn't really there on Monday.
After a number of tellings off, particularly from Matt (who pointed out that I've only been Powerlifting for six months and that I'm getting in a flap over international totals! In what sport could I expect to be international standard in such a small amount of time?!?!), I calmed down and started thinking rationally…
I had just done 3 reps at 100kg. I have only squatted 100kg (and 105kg) once before. After that first exhausting set of 3, I managed 3 singles. That is a monumental achievement and, yeah, I am getting my knickers in a twist because I've got it into my head that I want to compete at the GPC European Championships in June. Why did I do that to myself?!?!
Over the next three weeks, I'm meant to be squatting totally unknown numbers (next Monday it's 105kg for 2 sets of 3 – my current 1RM). I may or may not be able to do all the reps of all the sets. I may not even be able to do 1 rep!! Pretty much whatever I do squat-wise will be a PB. And who knows, Monday might've just been another bad day, Maybe I shouldn't do yoga in a Sunday evening…
Having had this epiphany, I approached my somewhat scary Tuesday bench session with a lot more confidence. 57.5kg was my final good lift at the GBPF British in September last year. This session, I did 6 sets of 3! A couple of reps were a bit off-line, but on the whole, they were good, solid lifts, mostly paused at my chest as they would be at a comp. I wish I'd filmed these so I could watch them over and over, and remind myself that, actually, I'm not that bad at all this malarkey.
Next week, bench enters the realms of the unknown as I have to do 60kg (my current gym 2RM – and the second rep was dodgy!) for 6 sets of 3. I'm actually quite excited.
Having felt like I'd smashed my bench session, I tried to carry this confidence over to my Wednesday deadlift session. 112.5kg isn't an unknown, but deadlifts and I have fallen out recently and I'm never entirely sure how these sessions are going to go. Last week's was brilliant (if you play the video, best turn the sound down! I stupidly put the phone next to the radio so the music, which isn't really my cup of tea, is really loud!!).
All I could do was try to convince myself that this week's would be too!
Added to my usual anxiety was that of training in a new gym. I had to train somewhere near work but I couldn't face the soul-destroying atmosphere of the local Fitness First, so I thought I'd try the Nuffield near Cannon Street.
For a commercial gym, it wasn't that bad! I only saw one platform and two racks when I walked in, but there were more in the other half of the free weights area where the "big" boys were, which I didn't notice until I went in there and played with the fake 80kg tyre.
As seems to be the case in every commercial gym I go in to, I was stared at and the trainers wanted to talk to me. Seriously people! The weights I lift are nothing compared to the ladies I compete against. I'm distinctly average (probably even below average 😦 ) for a powerlifter! But hey, at least they didn't try to tell me I shouldn't do this, that and the other like some trainers I've come across (and not just in commercial gyms either!!).
I won't rant…
Anyway, the first two sets went really well: a little slow off the floor, but good.
The third set went a little tits up as my hands were clammy and I didn't have any chalk. I couldn't grip the bar at all. 3 rather rushed reps occurred, which weren't pretty at all. At least I didn't tuck my tailbone though, so as Matt would say: Gainz!
So what's the point of this blogging reprise? There probably isn't one. However, the few training sessions that haven't gone quite to plan have made me think about self-belief. Matt, Tara and pretty much everyone who knows about my training keep telling me I can do this and that I need to believe it. I approach the bar telling myself it's going to happen, but it seems I don't actually believe it. If things go well or better than anticipated, it's a different matter, but as soon as I have an off day, it's like the world's ended (melodramatic or what?!).
Is it self-belief though, or have I just reached the limits of my ability/strength? If someone could let me know where to find a self-belief supplement that I can take along with my fish oil, I'd be really grateful.

So, why did I create a blog called unfuck you? Because unfuck you, that's why.
Saying fuck you sounds a little bit like you're hoping the other person gets raped. That's not something anyone should wish on even their worst enemy. So that's not something I want to say any more. Especially not to women, and especially not to women who already thinks all men are potential rapists.
However, quite some of that last category are exactly the people who hurt men by their prejudgements and actions.
If you can't think of a single man as equal to you, regardless of the society around the two of you, you don't deserve his, or any mans' body. And you deserve to hear that. Unfuck you.
This site is my subjective experience of being labeled a man.
I hope you enjoy reading, and that you learn something. Maybe you can even empathize and relate to your own experiences, whatever they are 🙂
Oh, and some of this will be in swedish, some in english. There is always google translate 😛

GAYLORD — A decommissioned Gaylord Community Schools bus made one last stop at the Otsego County EMS/Rescue station last week before heading to the scrap yard.
Ron's Wrecker brought the motorless bus to the ambulance garage and tipped it on its side so rescue personnel could use it as a training tool.
"It was really valuable," said EMS chief Jon Deming of the training, which involved personnel cutting through the bus roof to extract victims — portrayed by other station staff — from the bus.
Deming said a school bus tipped on its side on M-32 near Gaylord Evangelical Free Church about 10 years ago.
The result of that accident was some minor bumps and bruises among the passengers but more serious injuries can occur.
"You're dealing with glass, people pinned and having to cut seats out," Deming said, noting the number of victims can compound the challenges of an accident involving a school bus or tour bus.
School buses can carry around 60 passengers.
Doug Francis, associate transportation director and head mechanic for Gaylord Community Schools, said the engine, transmission, bumper, hood, radiator and "all the good seats" were salvaged and all fluids were drained before the bus was towed to the ambulance garage. Those parts will be used for the rest of the fleet.
"Anything that was of use to us we took out of it," he said of the 1997 International AmTran. "It was basically a shell and was perfect for what they wanted to do."
The Knoxville (Tenn.) News Sentinel reported last week that a bus carrying church members crashed on I-40 in Tennessee Wednesday, killing eight people and injuring 14.
The accident happened after the bus blew a tire and lost control, crashing into a tractor-trailer before it overturned and caught fire.

Pink Sunset Gradient Palm Tree Mani
Well that's kinda a long title, but it sums up the mani, so there we go.
I really loved this mani, it looked great when it was done, it was a lot brighter in reality to the pictures.
Since me and my partner are saving to buy our own house we aren't going on a holiday abroad this year, and stuck in grey old Britain, this mani is me craving some sun, and the pink of the sunset reminds me of when we went to Turkey last year.
I hope everyone likes it !!

A Nigerian student has asked the Federal High Court, Uyo, to restrain an interim management committee from running the affairs of the Maritime Academy of Nigeria, Oron, Akwa Ibom state.
The federal government, through the Ministry of Transport, in September set up an interim management to run the affairs of the country's pioneer maritime academy.
The management, headed by Adebayo Sarumi, is tasked with the responsibility of restructuring the school for its eventual take off as a maritime university.
According to court documents, Ene Ene, a prospective student who is seeking for admission into the academy, is accusing Mr. Sarumi of taking "arbitrary actions" which he said has "adversely affected the smooth running" of the academy.
Mr. Ene is suing Mr. Sarumi and others for the alleged suspension of the admission into the national diploma, higher national diploma, and postgraduate diploma programmes of the school for the 2017/2018 academic session.
He said the suspension has affected him as a prospective student who applied for admission into the national diploma programme.
The academy, the minister of transportation, and the attorney general of the federation are co-respondents in the suit.
One Francis Otioro is the co-applicant.
The applicants are seeking for "an order of interlocutory injunction restraining the 3rd defendant whether by himself, privies, officers, agents, servants or through any person whatsoever from directing, running, interfering or participating with the administration, management of affairs of the 1st defendant in any manner whatsoever pending the hearing and determination of this suit."
The applicants in their affidavit said that "the Maritime Academy of Nigeria has a Governing Council which is the only recognized body with the authority to administer, manage and run its affairs" and that "the Interim Management Committee chaired by the 3rd respondent is neither part of the Governing Council nor a recognized agent or body of the Maritime Academy of Nigeria."
The case was filed by a Lagos-based lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, on behalf of the applicants.
No date has been fixed for it yet.
The school host community has also protested against the interim management.

This video was shot from the beach showing the sprit rig in light wind and the small sail in 25 knots of wind.
The best sailing videos are shot from a chase boat but unfortunately I didn't have one. Shooting from onboard with any conventional lens gives a narrow field of view and misses the best times because your hands are full when things really get going.
For these reasons I have just ordered a Go-Pro Hi definition waterproof head cam that can be mounted on the canoe. A 170 degree field of view should make a remarkable improvement. Stay tuned.

So many fantastic things. I love the embroidery hoops because you can do so much with them and the gold and white tablecloth because it is so lovely! xxReplyDelete
After reading the title, I thought surely there would be sheep involved. Does the aqua floral cloth go with the vintage tablecloth? Of course I would tear that cloth into strips and hand baste down the middle to make a raggedy ruffle. Love the milk glass vases.ReplyDelete
You really scored Vicky! I think I can ID the round milk glass for you, Westmoreland glass, English hobnail pattern. I've had a few pieces. Search online a little, they fetch a good price. Of course I love your tablecloths and the ice bucket is very cool.ReplyDelete

She was outside playing. Dressing her baby gorilla in diapers and pajamas. Her clothes mismatched and rumpled. She had crusty stuff on her face and tangled hair.
And she completely stole my heart.
Her little doe eyes and slightly dry lips...not quite "the pout" but almost. She wanted candy.
I gave her some.
Using my camera to capture what my heart feels. That is what I do. It refreshes my soul, makes me smile and sometimes cry. Gets my heart pumping and my mind thinking. Brings out my creativity and inspires growth. When a photo touches me I look at life more lovingly. When a moment captured on film enters my soul and spirit, I look at life differently. I'm more thankful and grateful, more joyful and careful about my daily actions and interactions. Seeing beauty around me is easier and more obvious. Beauty in stillness, in quiet moments, in joy, in solitude, in happiness, in sadness, in pain (yes it is there too), in birth, in newness, in restoration, in communion, in celebration, in worship, in anticipation, in love.
Today I want to look at life through that lens.
And rejoice.
P.S. My giveaway is still running! Ends on the 26th! Please see here for details.

Later, though the Democrats lost the war, they endevoured to maintain control and superiority over the freed slaves through Jim Crow laws. (see HERE and HERE and HERE), and by sponsoring the KKK. (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE)
Even as late as the 1960's, during the height of racial unrest in the epicenters of the Democrat South and North, proportionately less Democrats than Republicans voted for the Republican sponsored Civil Rights Act.(see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE)
Things are different now, right? Well, as the saying goes, "The more things change, the more they stay the same" (see HERE)--which means: "Turbulent changes do not affect reality on a deeper level other than to cement the status quo." (see HERE)
Ironically, liberal race-baiters today are conflating their past with that of their opponents:
Surprisingly, though, and eerily reminiscent of Stockholm Syndrome, descendants of slavery have long bound themselves almost exclusively to the party of slavery and Jim Crow and "Bull" Connor. (see HERE and HERE and HERE) In 1964, when 80% of blacks voted Democrat, Malcolm X said this to members of his own race regarding the Democrat Party: 'You put them first, and they put you last. 'Cause you're a chump. A political chump! ... Any time you throw your weight behind a political party that controls two-thirds of the government, and that party can't keep the promise that it made to you during election time, and you are dumb enough to walk around continuing to identify yourself with that party -- you're not only a chump but you're a traitor to your race." (see HERE)
Today, around 96% of Blacks vote Democrat (ibid.), which raises the relevant question of " Why"--the answer to which I believe informs the topic of this blog on racial politics as a partial impetus behind Leftist LUNC's (Law of Negative Unintended Consequences).
According to a recent article in TheBlaze, which sought answers to the "Why" question by interviewing Black attendees at a recent Democrat convention: "Overall, those consulted for this article view government involvement in a favorable light and believe Uncle Sam is a positive force for good. Speaking to this idea in greater detail was syndicated columnist and author Jonah Goldberg, who posited that even when Black Americans identified themselves primarily as Republican, they were still about 'big government'....He told TheBlaze that because the government had always stepped in to help Blacks out of dire situations — from the days of Reconstruction to when Eisenhower sent troops to Little Rock, Arkansas, to quell a protest against the integration of a school — the Black community has come to rely on its presence heavily."
This is instructive because it not only touches on the points made in my articles on Costly Government as well as the Politics of Compassion and the Politics of Victimization, but it also demonstrates a remarkable lack of awareness of the invidious nature of government dependence.
Like people from other races, many blacks have been captivated by the allure of liberal public assistance, thinking that it will bring them socio-economic salvation and lift them out of their dire straits, while in reality, as Malcolm X intimated, the promises are not kept and the results are too often quite the contrary--the circumstances for Blacks tend not to improve, and even in some ways worsen, but they also end up with the added disadvantage of bondage--on a number of levels (economic, emotional, psychological, etc.)
Whether intended or not, even though the civil war freed Blacks from Democratic slavery of one sort, in modern times Blacks have been enslaved of another sort by Democrats The cotton plantations of the old Democrat South have been replaced by the political plantations of the new Democrat North East.
This dynamic of political subjugation is explained very well by a young conservative black man (see HERE)
See also HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE.
Stephan Molyneux astutely points out, among many useful things on race, how making excuses for bad behavior by Blacks, and setting the bar lower for them to supposedly compensate for past wrongs, not only robs them of competitive incentive, but it inadvertently reaffirms the stereotypes of comparative ineptness.
Another explanation is proffered in this video entitled: "How the Elite Stay in Power.
Thomas Sowell says Liberalism is worse for African-Americans than slavery:
See also: HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE
Black author, Jason Riley talks about his book, "Please Stop Helping: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed:
See also and HERE, and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE
In short, the masses have been kept in bondage not only through dependency, but also persistent divisiveness, chaos, and civil strife that seemingly requires elite saviors to unite and establish order and peace.
Accordingly, Blacks have been kept on the political plantation by the liberal establishment stoking the fires of racial tension (see below). For one,there is the volatile and disruptive Black Lives Matter movement, which is an organization enabling some people to act out under the pretense of caring, and deflect attention away from far more serious and embarrassing concerns, and make-believe they are "playing" society, when in reality they are being played by the white man, George Soros, who is pulling their strings to enrich himself and his hedge fund. (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE) In short, they are "useful Idiots" (as Marx would call them) or "chumps" 9as Malcolm X would say), who are being manipulated by the politics of race.
As expected, Leftist LUNCs continue to occur because the perception that liberals really care about minorities is merely an illusion used to ensconce liberal elites in power. If liberals truly cared about minorities, and if liberal programs actually worked, then race relations, social ills, and economic struggles in minority communities would have gotten better rather than degraded since the 1960's, particularly under a liberal black presidency. (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE),
Sadly, the fact that things haven't' improved for Blacks, isn't paid much mind by the Left, except as an opportunity to shift blame, and leverage the worsened conditions to keep or get more votes that will result in further worsening of minority conditions. And, so the LUNC-ish cycle repeats without rinsing.
Lest we think this cycle may not have been intentional, as I indicated in my Leftist LUNC on the Treyvon Martin controversy:, the once noble and compassionate civil rights movement ultimately morphed into the now spiteful and self-serving uncivil wrong movement. Where once the Left courageously marched against racial injustice and gallantly advocated for basic rights for all mankind and healthy racial sensitivity, in recent times they have mobilized the media, celebrates, and even governmental entities, into fomenting racial strife, vigilante-like injustice, bullying, and racial hyper-sensitivity. (for at recent example, see HERE) The entities that were charged with fighting racism of old, have sadly become, even in the minds of some blacks, the modern face of racism (see HERE)--though the Left think otherwise (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE).
[update 08/30/15: Several noted Civil Rights activist from the 60's express somewhat the same sentiments above regarding the current "Black Lives Matter" movement and the racial strife in Fergeson and Baltimore--see HERE and HERE. And, the media hasn't helped--see HERE]
[Update 09/07/2015: Here is a video of a Black Marine and a Black police chief decry the overly hostile BlackLivesMatter movement--see HERE ]
Noted talk show host, Dennis Prager, argues that African Americans are to blame for racial discord in the U.S. (see HERE), and he denies that the U.S. is generally racist (see HERE), and is like the least racist country in the world 9see HERE).
And, it hasn't been just the rich, white, male establishment that were in the mob cross-hairs. The civil wrong movement has also maligned and smeared a growing number of black conservatives. (See HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE)
As best I can tell, this diametric about-face in racial advocacy came about when certain liberals and leaders of the civil rights movement shifted their focus from helping and serving others to helping and serving themselves--not unlike the corruptible forces of power and selfishness I describe in the Politics of Compassion. The grand agenda became a self-aggrandizing agenda.
Consequently, race-baiting and racial politics and playing the race card have been leveraged to create a proliferating racial industrial complex--a very lucrative enterprise, which, in partnership with the government, has mastered the art of political manipulation, racial ploys and demagoguery, cult of victimhood, and shake-downs. (See HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE) Most notably, there is the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, the National Action Network, and the NAACP. Ann Coulter does a great job of chronicling the uncivil wrong movement in her book, "Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama."
Please don't get me wrong. I believe it was very good that we Americans have attended to significant acts of racism even in modern times. It is just that racial politics has gotten so out of control and hyper-senative that even such benign things as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches hve been considered as racist. That is just plane silly. (See HERE)
The worst part of the exploitative left-turn towards race-mongering, besides the Leftist LUNCS of dividing rather than uniting the country, impugning the character of innocent people, giving the civil rights movement a bad name, and illegitimately lining the pockets of racial hucksters, is that the selfish and racist bullying and liberal racial agenda's have ultimately caused considerable harm to minorities, particularly black communities. Not only are limited resources being diverted from struggling inner cities and absorbed by and for the enrichment of a few black leaders and publicity hounds, but the media and public interest and governmental policies are too often focused on sensational cases of alleged racism (oft manufactured), rather than on solving serious social problems, like black-on-black violence, disproportionate levels of crime, teen and out-of-wedlock pregnancies, abortions, the jobless rate, poverty, etc. (See HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE)
The good news is that there is a growing number of blacks and black leaders who really care about their communities and who are serious about solving their own problems. For example, there is the Black American Leadership Alliance and Project 21.
Hopefully, they will prevail and once again restore the civil rights movement to its former glory.
Until then, expect the persistence of Leftist LUNCs caused by liberal racial politics.

Whiplash Related Neck Pain
Medial Branch Blocks
The sensitivity of a single uncontrolled block has been estimated to be 95% and the specificity 73% (Barnsley 1993). It has been shown that local anaesthetic does not spread beyond the area of the medial branch (Barnsley 1993). This indicates that the block does not anaesthetise any other structures that may be a source of chronic cervical pain, other than the facet joint.
Cervical medial branch blocks are easier to perform than intra-articular blocks, the patient is often lying on the side with a lateral view obtained by fluoroscope. The needle is then introduced onto the middle of the articular pillar and the resulting effect is noted over the consequent four hours. The patient makes a physical record using a pain scale and when it has confirmed that a particular cervical facet joint pain has been obliterated by the medial branch blocks then this diagnostic technique can leave the physician to continue with a more permanent technique known as radiofrequency neurolysis.
Radiofrequency Neurolysis/Ablation
Radiofrequency neurolysis results in denervation of the facet joint by passing a radiofrequency current through the medial branch of the posterior primary ramus (dorsal ramus). This denatures the proteins in the nerve (Zervas 1972). There was also a heating effect produced by a vibration of ions. Afferent transmission of pain along the nerve to the dorsal root ganglion is obliterated. The nerve is not completely destroyed since the medial branch cell bodies in the dorsal root ganglion are not affected, so it has been noted that the nerve may grow back to its target joint in nine to twelve months depending upon the lesion site. This can result in a recurrence of the pain.
There is an option of repeating the medial branch radiofrequency neurolysis with equal effect and without any further side effects. The procedure is not performed bilaterally at multiple segments at the same time because of a risk of cervical muscular fatigue with daily activity (McDonald 1999). In a randomised double blind controlled trial radiofrequency neurolysis was assessed heating the nerve to 80 degrees C for 90 seconds and the patients in the treatment group took an average of 263 days before the pain returned to 50% of the pre-operative level, whereas the patients in the control group perceived this return of pain in just eight days (Lord 1996). In another study, complete relief of pain was reported in 71% of patients after the initial procedure. The total duration of pain relief was 422 days after the initial procedure and 219 days after the repeat procedure (McDonald 1999).
Greater Occipital Nerve Radio Frequency Neurolysis
Radiofrequency can be used for intractable headache and occipital pain as a result of greater occipital neuralgia and which responds to greater occipital nerve blockade with local anaesthesia. These headaches are often referred to as tension headaches and are related to hypertonicity in the suboccipital musculature, pain refers from the occiput as far as the parietal area and often causes retro-orbital pain.
Cervial Epidural Injections
Cervical epidurals can be of use in discogenic cervico brachialgia when an MRI has shown a disc protrusion and the clinical signs have demonstrated significant neurological deficit, dural tension and irritation. The most common levels involved are C5/6 and C6/7 resulting in C6 and C7 radiculopathy respectively.
Transforaminal Epidural
Cervical transforaminal epidural injections (nerve blocks) are sometimes carried out under X-ray guidance but there is reluctance on behalf of some pain clinicians to carry out these procedures in view of the higher incidence of intravascular or possibly intra-arterial injection which increases the risk of adverse reactions. Cervical epidurals tend to be the treatment of choice in these cases.
Blind Cervical Nerve Root Injections
There is a recognised technique of injecting onto the transverse process of C7 without X-ray control and this has been shown in small studies to be an effective method of controlling radicular pain from C7 radiculitis. This can be a very effective and safe approach for the acute cervico-brachialgia that exists when patients present with neck and arm pain and the inability to sleep due to the severity and intensity of the pain. These patients often have to sleep with their arm behind their head and often in a sitting position. This is catastrophic when it lasts more than a few days and patients are often desperate for a procedure to relieve their pain.
Prolotherapy is an injection of Glucose (12.5%), Glycerol and Phenol (1%) around the supporting capsular and supraspinous/interspinous ligaments under X-ray control on three separate occasions at weekly intervals. This procedure has been shown to thicken collagen fibres and may help to strengthen and stabilise the intervertebral segments (Hackett,Cyriax, Ongley, Dorman, Reeves etc). Prolotherapy is used frequently by musculoskeletal and some sports physicians in the lumbar spine but it can be of particular use in the cervical spine if mild instability or recurrent or chronic neck pain exists which is refractory to other treatments.
On the basis that neck ligament strength is decreased following whiplash type trauma (Tominaga et al and Panjabi), it seems logical that prolotherapy to thicken ligament tissue would be a rational approach in whiplash type injury. Prolotherapy was shown in a prospective case series on neck pain to reduce sagittal translation at the unstable level and to reduce pain.( Centeno, Elliot et al 2005).

FRENCH TEDDY AWARDS....let's give it a try!
There will be many talented artists competing, I just can't wait to see all the entries.
After some thinking I decided to try in the 'AUTRES ANIMAUX' category. I wanted to put Galileo the Welsh, but you can only put one picture and it is quite limiting, especially for Galileo who needs at least a couple of different perspectives to do him justice. So I decided for Fulvio the fox. I always loved that fox. It took some time to decide which picture was the best. I had those three:
After long thinking, I chose the first one, without Silvio the rooster. I'm proud of Silvio the rooster, but I thought he would steal the spotlight a little bit, and I'm interested in showing Fulvio's features as best as possible. I also have a soft spot for that particular picture...I hope I did the right choice!
I would have liked to put a bear also but they have undressed category and even ribbons are not allowed, and my bears are never ever completely bare. And they are neither really dressed, so they would not go into a 'dressed' category.
Well, one is enough, it is only that I didn't want to feel out. I have a real liking for those competitions! :-)

text: I've just been reading about what temperatures people are supposed to feel comfortable in, after an office discussion about air-con yesterday. My thermostat at home is kept at 17.5C (63.5F) and I walk around in bare feet and often wearing very little . Any warmer and it feels really stuffy, yet I'm told that 20-21C (68-69.8F) is best for living spaces. I don't get it. Another weird thing: the air-con in the office is set to 23C (73.4F) and it feels just right for working in, yet if I heated a room to that temperature it would feel really hot. Any reasons why that is?

Double Dutch, 27th November 2015
Double Dutch, 27th November 2015
I got back amongst the winners in race 1 yesterday as Ginger Joe made all and ran on well to land the seller at Southwell by the best part of two lengths with our other runner Powered back in third place, almost five lengths off the pace and with Ginger Joe drifting out to 3/1, we were well placed to land the double in race 2...
...where I'd identified three possibles and discarded Ballyegan as I thought he'd need the run and I was right in that respect as he weakened late on before finishing third, beaten by almost 20 lengths. Of our two hopefuls, Double Chocolate unseated his rider at the 11th, leaving all our hopes with Dawnieriver, whose price drift out to 4/1 meant we were on for a 19/1 payout, if he could hold on to the lead.
Unfortunately he was headed two out and although he rallied and stayed on towards the finsih, he was beaten into second place by alength and a half and that was that. Close, but no cigar, I'm afraid.
Thursday's results were as follows:
Ginger Joe : WON at 3/1 (adv 11/4)
Powered : 3rd at 2/1 (adv 5/2)
Dawnieriver : 2nd at 4/1 (adv 5/2)
Double Chocolate : UR at 7/4 (adv 9/4)
Results to date:
740 winning selections from 2643 = 28.00%
233 winning bets in 685 days = 34.01%
Stakes: 1369.00pts
Returns: 1463.42pts
P/L : +94.42pts (+6.90% ROI)
Here are Friday's selected races...
Donald McCain's horses have a good record at this venue and in The Backup Plan, there's a good chance of another winner at 7/2 BOG with a horse that won back to back chases at Sedgefield in August/September at a similar trip to today, but failed in his hat-trick bid last time out. He was stepped up to 3m2f and whether he'd have got it or not is unclear as he fell at the 11th fence when well clear. He's had three weeks to get over it and provided there's no ill effect from the fall, he should go well again.
However, he'll have to beat the inform Throthehatch to do so. The current 7/4 BOG favourite comes here also seeking a hat-trick after a virtual stroll at Kelso last time out. He's lightly raced (1 x bumper, 3 x hurdles) so far and comes here with a 2 from 2 record over fences and although up in both trip and weight, the manner of his run last time out suggests that this will be just another step forward in his progression.
Air of York has already won four times this year and with finishes of 131 in his last three outings, he clearly brings the best form to the table. He won over 5f and then 6f at Chelmsford & Southwell respectively, but found 5f a little too sharp here at Wolverhampton in between those runs, yet stayed on well in the closing stages. The extra furlong is sure to help and running under a penalty, he still looks favourably treated here and is my preferred option at 13/8 BOG.
The 4yr old filly Bush Beauty is interesting here too, as she returned to form last time out to win here over course and distance taking her record on this track to 4/13 and 3 from 6 over course and distance. She's only up 3lbs for the win to a mark of 64, enabling her to remain in this 0-65 class, but she has already won here at Wolves off marks of 66 & 67 this year, so on that basis, she's worth consideration at a healthy 11/2 BOG.
4 x 0.5pt BOG doubles as follows, based on prices available at 8.00am
Throthehatch / Air of York @ 6.22/1 (7/4 & 13/8 : Bet365, Betfred, Ladbrokes, Totesport)
Throthehatch / Bush Beauty @ 16.88/1 (7/4 & 11/2 : BetVictor & Coral)
The Backup Plan / Air of York @ 10.81/1 (7/2 & 13/8 : Hills & Ladbrokes)
The Backup Plan / Bush Beauty @ 28.25/1 (7/2 & 11/2 : BetVictor)

Peer Smed is my children's great grandfather. Although there are many of his pieces, as well as his daughter's, Lona, in Grammy's house, there is a shocking (my word as an outsider)lack of information about him, his workplace, his inspirations...Does anyone have a tidbit or two about his personality or where he left his tools and a huge piece called "The Spirit of the Hudson" left in a rented garage in New York, the family thinks. We would be more than happy to hear from you! thank you so much!! Donna
Your Grandfather was a great silversmith with fabulous skills as a designer and chaser. He has the respect of many collectors. He was featured at an exhibit on Modern Silver during the 30's and actually did a demonstration on forging at the Museum. Contact me by email and I will send you what information I have on his work and history and I will contact the people I know who may be able to shed light on his work and tools.
hi Donna,
I stumbled upon your inquirty on the Society of Amerian Silversmith's page and thought I would write you. I am also a great-grandchild of Peer's - so I guess I would be some kind of cousin to your children. My grandma was Peer's youngest daughter, Elsie. I have been doing some research on Peer and have some information to share with you.
Peer was born in Denmark in 1878 and is thought to have been the son of a blacksmith. He worked in iron, brass, copper and is best known for his silversmithing. He won decorations for designing royal household pieces for the Kings of Denmark and Sweden. He came to New York in 1903 to Brooklyn, returned to Denmark in 1907 and then back to New York in 1909. In the U.S. he won several awards for his work, worked with Tiffany's for a time, and was commissioned to make the silverware for the Waldorf-Astoria in New York in 1931. He eventually had his own workshop and gallery - his obituary says that it was located at his home in New York at 30 Irving Place (near Washington Square, I believe), although another source says that it was at 176 Johnson St in Brooklyn. Perhaps it was both. Some of his best pieces were commissioned during the depression in the 1930s, which would indicate that he was working with a wealthy clientele. He taught his oldest daughter Lona (Schaeffer) silversmithing and she continued to make silver flatware and holloware until the 1940s and were commissioned through high end retail shops in New York City. His son Dan also worked in metalworking (mostly copper, I believe), although his other children (Alice, Ellen and Elsie), to my knowledege, did not learn the trade. He had shows at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum of Art and he currently has pieces in the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago as well as galleries in Chicago, Dallas and Houston. He died at the age of 65 on November 20, 1943.
I have a few family stories as well as scanned photos of Peer, his wife and children if you are interested in seeing them. Feel free to contact me.
Dear Jennifer,
I read that you are related to Peer Smed.
I am a dealer and have developed a following for his beautiful pieces.
I am interested in doing a book on Peer Smed and his work.
I would be happy to pay you for scanned images of any information you have on him and Lona as well as pay for professional images for any family pieces to be included in the book.
I am located in California.
Feel Free to call me.
All the best,

"Staying true to our Indian traditions and our Southern roots, Rushi and I wanted to include special touches that showed our personalities for our big weekend, so our first decision was to have our wedding outside of Houston, at the gorgeous La Torretta Lake Resort & Spa right off Lake Conroe in Texas," says Houston bride Shilpa about her wedding to Rushi. "Our weekend-long celebration started with guests greeted with fresh-baked cookies, lemonade and handmade welcome bags upon check-in. Guests were then directed to an LSU viewing party Friday afternoon to enjoy the LSU vs. Arkansas game with fellow guests and Tiger fans. The colorful Friday night garba/raas festivities began with a live drum player and DJ, followed by an Italian pasta bar for dinner, king cakes fresh from Baton Rouge and homemade Indian sweets for dessert." And that was just Friday's fun. For Saturday's wedding, perfect weather set the scene for a joyful celebration where guests sipped mango lassis alongside American-style cocktails, did custom wedding Mad Libs, and sat at floral-draped tables to dine on divine Indian specialties. As fine photos by New York photographer Trent Bailey show, "The reception continued with all-night dancing, personalized coozies and glow sticks, and all-around joy and happiness as two families became one, and two people became lifelong partners in this journey of life!" If there's a better reason to celebrate, we sure don't know what it is. Congrats, Shilpa and Rushi, and thank you so much for sharing your magnificent wedding with us, and all our brides.

Hebrews 11:37-40
We have stories of those who were stoned, sawed in two, murdered in cold blood; stories of vagrants wandering the earth in animal skins, homeless, friendless, powerless— the world didn't deserve them!—making their way as best they could on the cruel edges of the world.
Not one of these people, even though their lives of faith were exemplary, got their hands on what was promised. God had a better plan for us: that their faith and our faith would come together to make one completed whole, their lives of faith not complete apart from ours.
Stories are such a powerful way of connecting. Indeed there was, in most Scottish communities a designated story teller - a Seanachaidh - charged with keeping tradition alive by passing on tales from generation to generation.
Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh recently hosted a conference, collaborating with the HeartEdge network. Practitioners came together to share stories. The ethos of Heart Edge is bringing folk together to give and to take. People, no matter who they are or where they come from have something to share and much to learn from one another.
I was asked to share some of the stories of Path of Renewal.
And, while we don't have a set of blueprints to hand to the church, or instructions to be followed that will bring about growth and renewal, we do have stories to share of hearts and minds being changed, of ways of being church transformed and of the rediscovery of God inviting us to mission where we are with the people we encounter everyday.
Like one man in a congregation telling me: I'm still not sure what Path of Renewal is all about but I can see a huge difference in those who are engaged in it.
Or the minister with almost 30 years experience in ministry saying: I've discovered a whole new way of being in ministry that has revolutionised my practice and my preaching.
And the young woman on the fringes of church who has found faith and purpose through being invited to experiment with spiritual practices, finding that habits form character.
Along with the stories, however, there are also a fe principles emerging - including:
- Being too busy prevents us from discerning God's mission.
- Spiritual practices - individual and corporate - take us to a place where we are more likely to hear God and understand what it is God is asking of us today. We become what we practice.
- Cultivating relationships and being intentional about discipleship works. Whether dog walking or coffee drinking is our thing - doing it with others allows us to have faith conversations as we go.
- Transition is hard work - acknowledging the loss folk feel when change occurs, journeying with them and helping them see the promised land - even and especially when it seems far off in the distance is sacred work. We are called, not to complete the journey but to begin the journey now.

Review Summary
- Convenient location near downtown Raleigh and Crabtree Valley Mall
- Decently-sized rooms with comfortable beds, tea/coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi
- Bright, inviting lobby with lots of seating areas
- Free breakfast and evening cookies
- Free shuttles to airport and select Raleigh locations
- Indoor kid-friendly pool is pleasant
- Updated equipment in fitness center
- Business center and coin laundry on-site
- Free parking and property-wide Wi-Fi
- Room decor is slightly generic
- Views from rooms are unremarkable
- No full restaurant or room service
Bottom Line
Business travelers and tourists alike appreciate this three-pearl property for its location. It's a short drive from the airport and downtown Raleigh, and within walking distance to the area's most popular shopping destination: Crabtree Valley Mall. Bright and contemporary common areas give the hotel an inviting atmosphere that's a notch above the typical Hampton Inn aesthetic, and sets it apart from the many other chain hotels nearby. The 136 rooms, in contrast, stick to generic furnishings, but are well-maintained and fairly spacious. There's no full restaurant -- but other amenities like the indoor pool, gym, and business center, are more than adequate. Freebies include breakfast, self-parking, shuttles, and property-wide Wi-Fi. Even closer to downtown Raleigh, the Sheraton Raleigh Hotel has similar features but higher rates.

Fuse is celebrating Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month by looking at a variety of rising forces who are creating Future Asian and Pacific History before our eyes. Today we're looking at the impressive career of Charlotte Cho, author of The Little Book of Skin Care and founder of top K-beauty website Soko Glam.
Cho, a second-generation Korean American born and raised in Los Angeles, California, decided to take an international public relations job in Seoul, South Korea at the age of 22. Even though she had previously visited South Korea, living there permanently forced her to experience culture shock like never before. She says herself: "While I was Korean in Orange County, I was definitely American in Seoul."
Still, living in Seoul opened her eyes to the expansive skin-care culture that exists in Korea. Cho became completely enamored with Korean skin care—yet she saw how K-beauty was still such a mystery in the U.S. So, she decided to take a stab at closing that gap. With the help of her husband Dave, Cho launched Soko Glam in 2012 from her Seoul living room.
Since then, Soko Glam has become a place not just to buy essences and cushions, but a hub for sharing secrets, swapping tips and spilling knowledge about skincare.
With Soko Glam, Cho has firmly established herself as one of the most expert voices on K-beauty, helping South Korean beauty become a mainstay in North America. Cho works hard to demystify and break down the elusive Korean 10-step routine, which emphasizes the importance of cleaning, treating and protecting skin. Cho is able to meld these worlds together so expertly because she's balanced both cultures her entire life. In her book, she says:
"I grew up straddling both worlds. Spaghetti nights had kimchi on the side. We celebrated New Year's on January 1 and then again for Lunar New Year. I spoke English at school but Korean at home. During my weekly ballet class, I wore the classic pink tutu, but come Saturday at Korean school, I ran around in circles waving colorful traditional buchaes with all the other second-gen kids who were just like me."
Being the keen businesswoman she is, Cho saw a hole in the North American beauty market and decided to use not only her heritage, but her entrepreneurial spirit and affable personality to create an empire. Now, Soko Glam has a growing full-time staff based in New York City, its own exclusive products, and an active community of devoted K-beauty fans that are hungry for all the skin care expertise Cho has to offer.
