Greetings GUTSies
Summer seems like a distant memory since we have had such great fall weather for many weeks now. I am so glad it is here, as it's now time to really start hitting the trail for some great runs! I hope everyone is taking advantage and getting in lots of great training for all the fall marathons and ultras.
Just in time for the cooler weather, new GUTS gear will soon be available. We also have a lot of current gear available. Check the GUTS forum on the www.getguts.com website or our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/runwithGUTS for more information. And check this issue for more details on how to order your gear or pick some up at the next GUTS event. It will be great training for Pine Mountain, which is just over a month away or joining us for the November training run at 3-Forks.
As daylight savings time approaches please remember to be safe out there. Dig into your closet and make sure you have a good reflector vest. And you'll need a good headlamp if you want to join us on Tuesday nights; starting the 2nd week of November we will then begin our practice of running trails at night. And we will continue to have the first Tuesday of each month designated for GUTS beer & pizza night.
Happy Trails,
Janice Anderson, Prez
You will get an email invite shortly, but save December 9th for this year's GUTS annual member meeting and party. This year's party will again be at the house of the current Secretary, Kim Pike. Directions will be included in the invite.
As it is each year, the party also serves as the official yearly meeting of GUTS members. This year we will hold elections for President and Public Relations Officer. Janice Anderson (current Prez) and Matthew Grund (current PR) will be running for re-election. Each elected position has a 2-year term. Nominations will be sent to the membership at least two weeks prior to the meeting, but nominations are also allowed "from the floor" on the day of the meeting. If you are interested in a position please email with the subject line "Nominations" to email@example.com.
Finally – GUTS will be supplying the catering as well as non-alcoholic beverages. You need only bring your favorite adult beverage, if you are so inclined. We'd love to see some of you in your street clothes (vs sweaty running gear), so please plan on attending. Send any questions or your RSVP with the subject line "Time to Party" to email@example.com. Please RSVP no later than December 1st.
Preparations are well underway for the 6th annual Red Top Rumble to be held February 3, 2013. We've got some great sponsors lined up to provide really awesome prizes and the raffle tent will be stocked giving everyone a chance to win! Most importantly, these are some great trails to run on and the event really helps support the park through our donation that your participation supports.
Registration opens Nov 12 at 10 am EST ( there will be a link on the GUTS website). Over the last couple years, the race has sold out really quickly (a couple hours) so please mark your calendars for 10 am. As always, GUTS members get $5 off the cost of the race. See the GUTS Members-Only Section of the Forum (http://getguts.proboards.com/) under GUTS Member Discounts for the code.
Proceeds from the 5th Annual Red Top Rumble in 2012 were donated to the Friends of Red Top Mountain. As a direct result of this funding, children volunteered with the Friends group to convert the old restaurant patio into a wildlife attractor garden. Your race registration dollars actually make a difference in the park!
by Ryan Cobb, Race Director
Hot to Trot 2012 didn't quite live up to its' name. The weather was unseasonably cool (below 90 degrees), and rain was forecasted. Nevertheless, a record number of runners toed the line for the 8 a.m. start. The race course stayed the same this year, a 1.1813 mile loop descending down to Sweetwater Creek and climbing back to the start/finish line. 83 runners took off into the cold weather after new RD Ryan Cobb gave them their instructions. The RD nervously looked at his phone and the weather forecast and when the rain started an hour later he announced that it was a small cell that should be past us in 20-30 minutes. Four hours later, the rain which was heavy at times, finally stopped. As the clouds cleared, one thing was certain, Johan Desmet was having a great day regardless of the rain. Johan went on to win the race with a new Sweetwater course record of 53.1585 miles. Beth McCurdy took the woman's win with 43.7081 miles logged. The winner's awards included some amazing running inspired original artwork from local artist Gabby Perry. The race packets were filled with great items from very generous sponsors this year,and every runner also received a great moisture wicking embroidered visor and Sports Science T-Shirt. All in all, everyone seemed to have a great time, and the RD is planning bigger and better things for 2013.
For the 9th annual Pumpkin Butt the date of the event was moved from the weekend closest to Halloween in hopes of avoiding other races and the heat. We at least avoided the heat as the weather was cool, sunny, gorgeous fall weather, but numbers were down possibly due to so many other events (including MMM) occurring in October. Like its FatAss cousin, the Pumpkin Butt is meant to be a low-key event that encourages runners to just get out there, run and have fun. The course takes runners over the top of the local mountain - 900+ feet of climb on each loop – five times for 50K. Prize incentives are given for any runner willing to carry a pumpkin on a loop, and bring it back in one piece. Overall winners and best costume are awarded a homemade pumpkin pie.
Matthew Grund and Kerry Dycus took the pace out hard on the first loop. Ultimately Kerry ran with Sally Brooking for most of the remainder of the run, just managing to pull ahead on the last loop by a few seconds. But Sally still took the top female honors and a well-deserved pie. Of the only nine finishers the majority this year were women! Joy Sandoz won the best costume prize wearing a full length Chiquita Banana lady dress for one loop. Several pumpkins this year were particularly light-weight and we ended up improvising by allowing two or three small pumpkins (aka twins and triplets) to take the trip over the mountain. Many runners completed this task, and for their troubles received prizes and many stares and whispers from the unknowing hikers that met on the trail.

What a MMMarvelous day we had at Fort Mountain this year for the 5th Annual Mystery Mountain Marathon & 12-Miler on October 14!
A record number of runners finished the marathon this year, with 114 brave souls surviving the Power Lines and earning the traditional (and trend-setting) MMM annual pint glass. 90 more folks finished a seriously challenging 12-miler race. All of our finishers this year received an original medal, hand-crafted by Aaron Dwileski.
This year's race was competitive and very exciting to watch! Congratulations go to the overall Marathon Champion, Patrick Chamberlain, who raced hard and finished in 4:01:49, just ahead of Skinny Jim Bickelhaupt, who took home the Masters prize. Sarah Woerner set a new and decisive female Marathon course record by winning in 4:44:23 -- nearly 46 minutes faster than the prior course record! Tim Tatarka reclaimed his 12-Miler course record (captured from Tim by the 2011 winner, Hunter Orvis), winning in 1:32:55. And Jessica Marlier, our reigning female 12-miler course record holder, defended her course record and won in 1:52:38 . . . . besting all but four of the *men* in the 12-miler. Full results and photos from the event can be found on the GUTS website.
Thank you to our awesome MMM sponsors, and to our amazing volunteers (we had over 60 dedicated volunteers come out to support the runners!) Be sure to mark your calendars for 10/13/13, because registration for MMMv.2013 will open immediately after Red Top Rumble.
On Sunday, January 6, join GUTS for an astronomically low-key 50K. The course is 6 loops, all trails with a few hills, on the blue and white trails of Sweetwater Creek State Park. The Start/Finish will be at the Group Shelter. Plan to stay and hang out by the toasty fireplace, enjoy some warm food and great company, and vote for your favorite chili in the annual FatAss Crockpot Chili Contest (more info below)!
FatAss is FREE to GUTS members (yes, that's right -- FREE!), but to register, you must be a 2013 GUTS Member! GUTS' yearly membership fee is still a remarkably low price of $15, so be sure to renew your membership for 2013 soon! Registration for FA will be online ONLY (or race day if we are not full), and will open on Ultrasignup on December 3. Come burn off those holiday pounds and run more than anyone has the right to enjoy!
Click here for more information.
Bring your best chili and vie for a special GUTS prize! Please bring the chili in a crockpot because we don't have enough burners on the stove for everyone. GUTS will provide the bowls and utensils as well some yummy chili toppings. Each runner will be given a ballot to vote for their favorite chili and the winner will receive a special award.
Hey GUTS members!
We are looking for a few brave volunteers to help out at two aid stations for this year's Pinhoti 100. In case you didn't know, this race takes place along the Alabama portion of the Pinhoti Trail (and some jeep roads), starting in Heflin, AL and finishing up in Sylacauga, AL. If you've never experienced a 100 mile race before, this is a great opportunity to witness one first hand without having to do the running!
The aid stations that we will be manning are both located in the beautiful Talladega National Forest during the peak of the fall color season! The first aid station is located at mile 23 and will be open from 9:15 a.m. until 12:46 p.m. Saturday. The second aid station, known as "The Pinnacle", is located at mile 75 and will be open from 5 p.m. Saturday until 4:13 a.m. Sunday.
We have openings available for either a morning or evening shift, or if you are crazy like me, BOTH! Lunch will be provided for volunteers of either shift at the Mellow Mushroom in Oxford. If you are interested please email Aaron Dwileski at email@example.com and include "PINHOTI 100 VOLUNTEER" in the subject line.
We look forward to hearing from you!
This will be the 3rd annual GUTS January 1st member run
The unofficial Resolution not to run the "Resolution Run" Run (aka RN2RRRR) will be held at noon at the Marietta HS track.
Teams of 2 will be created based on a trial 800 before the relay (no sandbagging PLEASE!). Each team will alternate 800 meters for a total team distance of 6 miles, or 3 miles per person. First place team wins a fantastic prize!!
Snacks and warm drinks (think hot cocoa) will be provided!! So, please let us know if you plan to run so we can plan accordingly. Email us at email@example.com with subject line of RN2RRRR.
From 3-Forks to the suspension bridge over the Toccoa river and back
3-Forks marks the confluence of 3 creeks as well as 3 trails – the Appalachian Trail(AT), Benton MacKaye Trail(BMT) and Duncan Ridge Trails(DRT). The first mile of the run is on a concurrent section of trail for all 3 of the famous GA trails. At approximately 1 mile, you will take a sharp left away from the AT and the rest of the run will be on the combined BMT/DRT. The run to the bridge and back is approximately 17 miles. It is hilly, with many "relatively" short, steep climbs, and 1 long climb back up from the Toccoa river. Aid will be provided at the Toccoa river. Otherwise there is one water source(needs to be treated) about half-way to the river. You can add on 6 miles by running to Highway 60 and back from the bridge.
Run Leader/Contact:
RSVP to Janice Anderson firstname.lastname@example.com with subject line of "Bridge and Back"
Start Time for Run:
8:30 am

Q: Dear GUTS – I feel out of breath running up the slightest hill. Not much has changed for me
lately, what could have caused me to suddenly feel this way?
A: Have you had any diet changes lately? If you are eating less meat, then you might want to consider iron supplements. Or spring in Atlanta can bring out allergies that you never knew existed. You could check with a doctor for possible allergies. Or just suck it up and bear it until the pollen season is over (ATL is about the worst in the US). If the issues continue then you might want to consider some other experts. But you know your body best and know what has changed so be sure and give anyone treating you, all the details of your current and former diet and exercise routines.
Q: Dear GUTS – If I attempt a double rim crossing of the Grand Canyon and need to drop out what are my options?
A: Your options include: Death, sympathetic rangers saving your ass, 5 hour bus ride from north rim, high-jacking a mule train, $3,000 helicopter rescue, or sucking it up and keep going. I suggest the last option.
Q: Dear GUTS – What are some tips for completing a long run in the mountains with no reputable water sources along the trails?
A: Consider wearing a hydration pack that carries at least 90 ounces of fluids. Don't forget to "burp" your pack to get all the air out and prevent sloshing. If you will be running for many hours then also consider carrying a bottle that has a filtration device. The bottle can be use to filter from any water source and you can then fill your other bottles or hydration bladders. One final method is to carry some bleach (be sure and bring something to cover the taste) or treatment tablets (require time to work).
Join GUTS for an outstanding chance to rack up some miles! Once again we are hosting a 24 hour (individual and relay), 12 hour and 6 hour event at Fort Benning, Georgia. The course is a one mile flat dirt loop around Stewart Field, and we anticipate seeing many great performances again this year.

The first new organization I chose to join is Student Government Association (SGA). I ran for Senator of Mission and Ministry last spring and was so excited I got elected. Everyone in Student Government is so driven to make change happen on campus, and I am so eager to work with each member this coming year! One big initiative SGA is trying to achieve this year is to stop the use of plastic straws on campus. Before the year began, every place to eat on campus agreed to not give plastic straws to students, unless a student specifically asked them to. At the involvement fair this past Friday, SGA gave away every single reusable metal straw we ordered to students. I am so proud to see we are already making a difference on campus less than one week in!

Hertfordshire Postcard Artists, Photographers, Publishers, etc.
Samuel Glendening Payne & Son,
of Aylesbury & Tring
ß 23 April 1865
4 December 1869 â
23 November 1889
Samuel Glendening Payne (1835-1912) was a descendant of my ancestor William Rolls (1724-98) of Bicester and a nephew of John Gibbs. He lived all his life in Aylesbury and in 1862 he married Maria Smith. The following year he is listed as an emigration agent in Bourbon Street and his sister Elizabeth Barrett Payne married a photographer, Henry Jenkins. Shortly afterwards carte de visite started to appear in Aylesbury by Jenkins and Payne. However in December 1864 the partnership between Henry Jenkins and Samuel Payne was dissolved and the address was replaced by "Sam. Glen, Payne. 3 Serena Terrace, Aylesbury." the portraits apparently being taken in the same studio. By 1868 he was living at 1 New Road Terrace, Aylesbury advertising his services as a portrait photographer. At the 1871 census his wife Maria is described as a portrait and landscape photographer. Later photograph backs refer to Mr & Mrs S. G. Payne, Artists and Photographers. A court case reported in the Bucks Herald in 1873 shows he was still also acting as a emigration agent at that date.
At some stage they opened a branch at Thame, their addresses being given as 43 New Road Aylesbury and 109 High Street, Thame. Later still Samuel opened another shop at Tring, which was open for not much more than 10 years, the first reference I have is 1895 and the last 1907. He published a large number of postcards of scenes in and around Aylesbury - including many of Tring.
All the cards are monochrome, all have the early divided back wording (three different formats noted) and most have the title on a white strip along the bottom. The publisher name can be as shown on the strip, or vertically on the back or front. A few cards, apparently by him, do not carry publisher details.
The earliest posted is in 1904 and all would appear to have been produced at about that date.

This picture was taken by Samuel and the address of 1 New Road Terrace, Aylesbury suggests that it was taken about 1870. It is one of several images owned by Peter Hobbs (phodds @t yahoo.co.uk) of Norfolk, which show this house, and an event which may well have been at the same place at the same time. Can you help by identifying the house, which might be in Bucks of Herts - or even better identifying the likely event.
The Find My Past Blog has a series of pages on the dating of old photographs by Jayne Shrimpton which you may find useful. I was delighted to see that she had found my web site helpful when dating this carte de visite by Samuel Glendenning Payne. She writes:

What it's like to be an aging athlete returning to the sport
After treating tennis players at the Pan Am Games 2015, I decided that I wanted to get back into tennis and start training again to compete in some Women's Open tournaments. As a teen I competed in tennis at a national level and continued on with a scholarship to the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. After my playing days were done, I became a sports chiropractor. Now, being in my early thirties, I am trying to make a push to get back into competition. Although I may not be considered "old", I certainly have noticed that my body is aging.
Competition has been part of my life since I can remember, so getting back into a competitive mode should theoretically be easy. Professionally, I knew the steps I would need to take to get back on court. However, physically and mentally I did not realize how hard of a battle I had ahead of me. As a past champion, I thought I would be able to jump right back into competing with both on court and off court training; easier said than done! At this point, as I sit here and write this, we are now in February and I still have not been able to compete in a tournament.
As a teen, when you train for any sport in particular, you typically do it at a high level. Our bodies as teens tend to bounce back quicker and do not respond as negatively to what we are doing to them. However, as we age, our bodies do not bounce back the way they used to. Not only from a physical standpoint is it difficult but mentally it becomes challenging as well, as you need to balance your professional life now too. You need to manage both your physical self as well as your mental self and put in place many checks and balances that you would not necessarily have had when you were a younger version of yourself.
How often should we be working out/training?
Whether you are a competitive player who plays 2-3 times per week or a recreational player who only plays 2-3 times per month, the optimal amount of exercise should be 3-4 times per week for 30-45 minutes. After fitting in your family, work schedule, and social arrangements, staying fit can sometimes fall to the wayside. I of all people can appreciate the difficulty of this because I fall into the same category.
How do you know when you're pushing too hard and when to back off?
I found that on weeks where I was pushing too hard to train at the beginning, I would have to back off for weeks on end. That is not to mention, keeping up with my professional work schedule and finding that balance along with proper nutrition and sleep management. There would be moments where it would feel like I was starting from the beginning every time I had to get going again. Now in retrospect, this is where I feel I needed to pay more attention to my mental game and how to cope with a slower process. I needed to appreciate that going slower was OK, and as much as I wanted an immediate comeback mentally, I had to recognize that I am no longer physically that younger version of myself.
How to mentally prepare for the uphill battle for long-term success?
Tennis is one of those sports that when people get bit by the bug, they usually end up playing the sport for life. On your journey, you may have numerous individual moments that require you to train harder, however, you need to pace yourself through the journey and recognize the importance of this. You have to remember why you are doing it in the first place; for me, it is because I truly love the game of tennis. As discussed, it can be very easy to fall into the trap of physically feeling good or feeling ready, however mentally, your focus may not be there. This state that you are in is the very reason why you need to place just as much importance in staying mentally fit as you do in staying physically fit to be at peak performance. Realizing that you are not training for the moment anymore, but rather you are on a journey for the rest of your life. As youth, we typically do not have a vision of ourselves in relation to tennis and the future. This usually causes a barrier for youth playing tennis because they become frustrated and are deterred from continuing to play. I feel it is important in having an understanding that tennis is about creating a lifestyle and training for long-term success in the sport, rather than immediate gratification for winning one match or tournament. Tennis is a sport that as players, we are always growing and evolving. As we get older, both our mental self as well as our physical self needs to reflect this.
How to be proactive with injury prevention?
As we get older, we not only have to manage injury prevention in tennis, but also all of the underlying injuries that arise from our professional lives. For example, let's take someone who's sitting behind his or her desk 8-9 hours a day. This person may feel fine when they get onto a tennis court or into the gym, however, their seating position and length of time they are seated, may cause dysfunction in their lower back, hips, shoulders, and neck. These are elements that you don't necessarily account for as you get older, however, generally, they can be the underlying cause of injury when you go to work out, or train. Now that you have identified what could potentially lead to injury down the road, how do you plan ahead? Being proactive with your health can be as simple as having a daily stretching regime, seeking treatment ahead of time before the onset of an injury (preventative care) to ensure proper function, or simply to aid in performance enhancement. But for the person sitting behind their desk, it could merely be getting up for a walk every half hour.
In summary, set small incremental goals, listen to your body, and try to establish lifestyle habits that are supportive of your specific training objectives and sessions. Always reward yourself for persistence in maintaining habits and regime rather than just the intensity of a particular workout or training day. In part two of this series, I will detail some of my workouts and training days as well as how to reward yourself for completing goals. We will discuss best practices and how to overcome frustration during your journey.

Imagine the hustle and bustle of Fort Worth's South Main Street back in the early to mid-part of last century - when Blue Front Café served the hungry, Bob's Main Bar quenched the thirsty, South Main Hotel accommodated the traveler, Lackey's Pharmacy filled prescriptions, and Pearl's Beauty Shop coiffured hair. South Main was vibrant with shoppers and shopkeepers. "It was also an upper-middle-class residential district occupied by the homes of people like George Monnig, of Monnig's Department Store," says Richard Selcer, Fort Worth historian. Then something happened. Main Street ceased to be a destination - the "mall" became popular, big stores sprouted, and more people started driving. South Main, along with many other main streets across the country, went into decline.
Due to the vision of Fort Worth's Near Southside, Inc., and a number of other collaborators, that's all changing. South Main is returning to life with a myriad of businesses whose services and wares will complement each other - and all will bring a touch of local flavor. "Near Southside, Inc. initiated the South Main Street effort nearly a decade ago, working in cooperation with business owners and the city. We can't wait for the street to come back to life, one that preserves the treasured historic buildings in South Main Village and serves as a catalyst for additions in the future," says Mike Brennan of Near Southside, Inc.
Jason Eggenburger and Steven Halliday of 97w Architects are designing four properties between Vickery and Rosedale. "Steve and I are both Near Southside residents. Our desire is to help shape the character of the place where we live, work and play."
Highlights of what's coming in order from north to south:
SoMa Development: W. A. (Andy) Powers moved his material-handling business to South Main in January 1939. His nephew, Doyle, and his brother, Jack, inherited the business in the late 1980s. Lori Henderson, Doyle Powers" daughter, says, "It's been awesome to see this neighborhood come back to life. Our plans are to develop the block between South Main, Vickery, Daggett and Bryan. Phase one includes four to five restaurant/retail spaces with a public plaza. We anticipate leasing by the end of this year." Powers" other daughter, Kim, and her husband will carry on the conveyor business in the warehouse on Bryan and Daggett avenues.
Tinie's Mexican Rotisserie and Cocktail Lounge: Owners of Taco Heads, Sarah Castillo and Jacob Watson, will open a new concept in 2,000 - 3,000 square feet of the SoMa development. The first floor will offer family-style Mexican rotisserie and sides.
The second floor will house "El Escondite" (Spanish for "the hideaway")with craft cocktails, Latin American beers, and 60 different tequilas and mezcal from the lounge. Business partner Glen Keely (owner of Thompson's Bookstore) will assist with design. "The interior will transport you to an Oaxacan mezcaleria with a rooftop oasis to escape the concrete jungle," said Keely. Tinie's is expected to open January 2018.
Crouch Building: Kelly Capital Partners (KCP) purchased the Crouch building at 305 S. Main St. and 318 Bryan Ave. The four buildings will provide over 40,000 square feet of office, retail and restaurant opportunities. Red Productions will be its anchor tenant, and KCP is currently negotiating with two restaurant groups.
Red Productions: Currently based near West Seventh Street, Red Productions is a high-quality video production firm that opened its doors in 2005. Red Sanders, president and producer, says, "Partnering with Craig Kelly [KCP] on this mixed-use development is a great fit for us, and we're thrilled to bring this space to Near Southside. The 10,000-square-foot production facility will feature a studio that will be open to all for rental, be it a commercial, photo shoot, or special event." The West Seventh studio will close when the South Main location opens.
The 4 Eleven: Co-owner and designer of Brewed Restaurant, Jana Clark, is targeting October for the opening of The 4 Eleven. Clark partnered with 6th Ave Homes and several other investors on the restoration of the building. A shared patio will encourage a connection among the businesses, where shoppers can share a drink, pick up flowers, and enjoy a visual feast of unique retail stores, including Clark's Limited Time Offer (LTO), a furniture and design store. "We believe all of life is a limited time offer. Every piece, just like every person, has a story to tell." Clark worked 15 years as a buyer for Neiman Marcus so she is well prepared for this new opportunity. "I can't wait to work with the amazing people at The 4 Eleven. We are better together, and this is so much more than a store, this is an experience."
In addition to LTO, The 4 Eleven includes a wedding and event venue with its own garden patio, which Clark calls the "crown jewel" of the 18,000-square-foot property. Bookings are already in motion for holiday parties. At the back of LTO, as evening approaches, doors will open to a restaurant and bar, name unknown at this time.
These four businesses will front LTO:
1. An Acai Bowl/Smoothie Store:The store will serve organic drinks and bowls topped with fresh fruit and toppings.
2. Alchemy Pops: A brick-and-mortar location for a handmade popsicle cart that serves pops at Sundance Square and various events.
3. The Greenhouse 817: A popular botanical design studio that creates unique flower arrangements with succulents and unexpected flora.
4. Winton and Waits: An upscale store by designer Jenna Lee. A portion of proceeds go to several nonprofits, including the Edna Gladney Home and The Net, both in Fort Worth.
Locust Cider: A West Coast concept that makes blends of apple cider. Targeted to open in 2018, it will be part of 17,500 square feet of other retail, restaurant, and office space.
Four Sisters: An Asian fusion restaurant will open in one of two new buildings that Dak Hatfield of Hatfield Properties has under construction in the 1000 block of South Main. There is also space for a second restaurant and second-floor offices.
Taste: As reported in the June issue of Fort Worth Magazine, Taste will open at 1200 S. Main St. on August 22. Taste will be a pay-what-you-can restaurant from nonprofit The Taste Project, aimed at fighting food insecurity. Diners can grab a meal from seasonal, locally grown ingredients and are encouraged to either pay what they can afford, pay what they would normally pay, or pay a little extra. Dallas-based Coeval Studio, the same team behind Americado off of Berry Street, is designing the space.
Vintage streetlights are in, art sculptures and trees are coming, curbside parking and bike lanes are waiting, and doors will soon be opening as history continues to be made by these new ventures.

As A Kid, I Was Touched By Many Men In My Family: I Didn't Stop Them
My parents consider me to be the most happy-go-lucky person in the family. My friends tell me I radiate strength. Everyone thinks I am strong and oh-so brave. But there are times when guilt kicks in from the darkest times of my childhood and I think. In my heart I know, I am everything but all the 'strong woman' compliments I welcome with a brave face and open arms everyday in my life.
I am a good listener. People talk to me about how they got sexually abused and I ask them to take a stand. I ask them to raise their voice, when my own, I muzzled long ago. My heart feels heavy when they tell me what happened. Heavier, when I ask them to not let the bastards go easily.
I said I'm a good listener, I listen, I don't tell. This is what I don't tell. My body has been violated plenty of times. At different times, at different places, and by many different people. My parents never told me about the 'good and bad touch' because they were probably shy and it was considered 'immoral'. Although I was too young to understand what was happening to me, I still knew it was wrong. Something that I had to hide from my parents. I used to stay with my maternal grandparents, where an English-medium school was built. I was 6 then and my village didn't have a good school.
I used to sleep with Naani and Naana every day. Sometimes my maternal uncles would also sleep with us, because the house had just one bed. So at night when everybody slept in the house, I screamed in my head. I cried, I howled, I fought, all in my head. My Maama, not really old at that time, would insert his fingers in my vagina and I would wake up to jolting pain. He would say, "Shhhh...meri gudiyaaa." And I would shut the hell up. I didn't want to wake up my grandparents.
I never told anyone about this. How could I? I didn't know what it was.Share this quote
My vacations were spent differently as compared to the others'. I went to my parents' place after all. There, my father's cousin lived next door. He shared a 'deep bond' with my family. He would bring me dresses and would take me to his house to watch TV with him. He would make me sit really close to him and put a blanket over us. What happened underneath was 'our little secret'. I kept shut, again.
My violators don't know they weren't exclusive. They believe what they did to a child would have been forgotten by now, since I never brought it up. I never changed my attitude towards them, always pretending that I have no recollection of how they 'loved' me. But, I am 20 years old now. It's a fight to forgive myself for letting this happen and letting this go. They are all married now. They have doting wives and children. I feel it's too late for me to do anything now. I feel it would be wrong to talk about what happened a decade ago.
And who would believe a 20-year-old who suddenly woke up from a long slumber? For, it's been long. But, beneath the ever smiling face, when unfortunate time strikes, flashbacks haunt and I can only regret.Share this quote

Our inboxes have been overflowing with such stories. It's uncanny how they are all the same stories with just different homes and different families. It's needless to say we're upset that these voices weren't raised before. We want to stop this, and we need your help. We need every one of you to share your story with hashtag #ABSaysNo on your social media to put an end to this mental torture once and for all. Speak up, it's not your fault, it's theirs.

MIG (GMAW) welding with shielding gas and a solid wire electrode produces a clean, slag-free weld without the need to continually stop welding to replace the electrode, as in Stick welding. Increased productivity and reduced clean up are just two of the benefits possible with this process.
|Shielding gas can play a significant role in improving, or impeding welding performance.
To achieve these results in your specific application, however, it helps to understand the role of shielding gas, the different shielding gases available and their unique properties.
The primary purpose of shielding gas is to prevent exposure of the molten weld pool to oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen contained in the air atmosphere. The reaction of these elements with the weld pool can create a variety of problems, including porosity (holes within the weld bead) and excessive spatter.
Different shielding gases also play an important role in determining weld penetration profiles, arc stability, mechanical properties of the finished weld, the transfer process you use and more.
Choosing MIG gun consumables that provide consistent and smooth shielding gas delivery are also important to making successful MIG welds.
Choosing The Right Gas
Many MIG welding applications lend themselves to a variety of shielding gas choices, and you need to evaluate your welding goals in order to choose the correct one for your specific application. The cost of the gas, finished weld properties, preparation and post-weld clean up, the base material, weld transfer process and your productivity goals all need to be taken into account when selecting a shielding gas.
Argon, Helium, Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen are the four most common shielding gases used in MIG welding, with each providing unique benefits and drawbacks in any given application.
|Porosity, as can be seen on the face and interior
of the weld bead, can be caused by inadequate shielding gas and can dramatically weaken
the weld.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is the most common of the reactive gases used in MIG welding and the only one that can be used in its pure form without the addition of an inert gas. CO2 is also the least expensive of the common shielding gases, making an attractive choice when material costs are the main priority. Pure CO2 provides very deep weld penetration, which is useful for welding thick material; however, it also produces a less stable arc and more spatter than when it is mixed with other gases. It is also limited to only the short circuit process.
For many companies, including those that place an emphasis on weld quality, appearance and reducing post-weld clean up, a mixture of between 75 – 95 percent Argon and 5 – 25 percent CO2 will provide a more desirablecombination of arc stability, puddle control and reduced spatter than pure CO2. This mixture also allows the use of a spray transfer process, which can produce higher productivity rates and more visually appealing welds. Argon also produces a narrower penetration profile, which is useful for fillet and butt welds. If you're welding a non-ferrous metal — aluminum, magnesium or titanium — you'll need to use 100 percent Argon.
Oxygen, also a reactive gas, is typically used in rations of nine percent or less to improve weld pool fluidity, penetration and arc stability in mild carbon, low alloy and stainless steel. It does cause oxidation of the weld metal, however, so it is not recommended for use with aluminum, magnesium, copper or other exotic metals.
Helium, like pure Argon, is generally used with non-ferrous metals, but also with stainless steels. Because it produces a wide, deep penetration profile, Helium works well with thick materials, and is usually used in ratios between 25 — 75 percent Helium to 75 — 25 percent Argon. Adjusting these ratios will change the penetration, bead profile and travel speed. Helium creates a 'hotter' arc, which allows for faster travel speeds and higher productivity rates. However, it is more expensive and requires a higher flow rate than Argon, so you'll need to calculate the value of the productivity increase against the increased cost of the gas. With stainless steels, Helium is typically used in a tri-mix formula of Argon and CO2.
|This graphic shows the difference that consumables can make
in shielding gas coverage. The photo on the left shows good coverage, while the coverage in the photo on the right allows
the air environment contaminate the shielding gas.
Getting the Gas to the Weld Pool
All of your efforts selecting the right shielding gas will be wasted, however, if your equipment isn't getting the gas to the weld. The MIG gun consumables, consisting of a diffuser, contact tip and nozzle, play a crucial role in ensuringthat the weld pool is properly protected from the air atmosphere.
If you choose a nozzle that is too narrow for the application or if the diffuser becomes clogged with spatter, for example, there might be too little shielding gas getting to the weld pool. Likewise, a poorly designed diffuser might not channel the shielding gas properly, resulting in turbulent, unbalanced gas flow. Both scenarios can allow pockets of air into the shielding gas and lead to excessive spatter, porosity and weld contamination.
|This cutaway shows a consumable system in which the
contact tip is seated in the diffuser and held in place
by the spatter guard inside the nozzle.
When selecting MIG gun consumables, choose ones that resist spatter build up and provide a wide enough nozzle bore to ensure adequate shielding gas coverage. Some companies offer nozzles with a built in spatter guard that also adds a second phase of shielding gas diffusion, resulting in even smoother, more consistent shielding gas flow.
Choosing the right shielding gas for your specific application will require a careful analysis of the type of welding you are doing as well as your operational priorities. Using the guidelines above should provide a good start to the learning process, but be sure to consult your local welding supply distributor prior to making a final decision.

The force of nature that was Christopher immediately enveloped Emily as soon as she opened the door. She didn't even get past the entry. All of a sudden, a 6'3" man, black as night with platinum, spiked hair, sculpted muscles under his tangerine orange cashmere sweater and dark, fitted jeans, was barreling toward her like the Basilisk in Harry Potter – a slithering freight train. The deep, yet feminine voice was disconcerting, to say the least.
"Oh! Look at you! You're like a little Kate. We can work with that. Though, Rob is so much more handsome than William, thankfully."
He winked and stole a look at Rob that said he thought Rob was much, much more than handsome.
"Quick! Let's get that coat off you so I can see your curves." He yanked off her wool trench. "Twirl for me. Slow. Good. Uh huh. Uh huh. Well, we'll have to make sure we put you in something that slims your hips a little and doesn't over emphasize your tush. Can you take off the pants so I can see your legs?"
Emily looked at Rob. He was stifling a laugh. He gestured, as though to say, Well, go on. You heard the man. She rolled her eyes as she shook her head at him and took off her shoes and pants.
"Okay, now put the shoes back on. Yes, honey, I'm serious." Em hadn't said a thing, but apparently, Rob wasn't the only one who could read her expressions. She obliged, to Rob's amusement.
"Niiiice. Excellent. You've got fantastic gams. That means we can put you in anything without worrying about your legs. Looks like you'll need a wax, though. And now that I see your hips and tushy without those pants on, we might be a little better off there than I thought. Do you work out? Yoga? Pilates?"
"Yes. I haven't in a few days, but usually I do both a few times a week."
"Well, it shows. I'm sure we can do some tailoring on those pants to help your figure. I'll send someone over to pick up everything and we'll have it back before you even realize they're gone. You've got it, girl, you might as well make the most of it while you're still young and it's all real. Now, let's see those boobies."
"You're kidding." Rob was having a hard time containing himself.
"No, honey, I'm not. It's strictly professional. I don't get any personal enjoyment out of it, if you know what I mean."
Em sighed and took off her blouse and her camisole. She was standing there, in her stockings, bra and thong, wearing three-inch heels. She felt like a stripper. Rob's expression had turned from amused to aroused. She gave him a dirty look. Just you wait, mister.
"Oh, excellent! 34C?" Christopher asked as he felt her boobs. She didn't know what else to do, so she nodded. "And totally real. This we can work with. I think I've got the perfect dress, but I'll bring a few others, just in case. I'm never wrong, though." Rob was shaking his head, mouthing, He's not.
Christopher was grabbing his coat and his handbag. Emily had to laugh to herself that the most shocking thing was that he had a handbag.
"Wait, don't you need to take measurements?"
"Oh, honey. No. If we were having a dress custom made for you, I would. Or if you were really fat, just to make sure I brought a big enough size. But you'll fit all the samples. We'll alter as needed. We'll have our first fitting on the 27th and then we'll do the final fitting on the 31st. Okay? Okay." He kissed both her cheeks, waved a cute little wave to Rob, said "Tah!" and was gone.
Emily was standing there, in her underwear and shoes, baffled, mouth hanging open, when Rob's arms came around her.
He nuzzled her ear and said, "Sorry about that. I should have warned you, but there really is no way to explain him until you see it."
She turned to look at him. "What the hell was that?"
"That was Christopher.

It is common knowledge that emergencies and natural disasters can happen even without our knowledge and thus the need for an emergency 72 hour food kit. Man has always been trying to predict when a calamity or natural disaster would hit. But even with the modern technology and all the gadgets that try come up with a sure-fire way of determining the exact time a natural disaster like an earthquake, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes and tsunamis would come and bring destruction, there is still no certain way to know when.
But even with the inability of man to predict with accuracy when certain natural disasters and emergencies would affect people, there is still a great need to be prepared. Preparation for those earthquakes and tsunamis that have been claiming a lot of properties and lives for the past years can be done by being equipped with survival kits. And since there is no telling when another emergency would hit, it is wise to have those survival kits easily accessible and can be quickly carried around, learn this here now.
One of the basic items that a person must have in his survival kit is food. The best emergency food kit must have not just any food but those that can help sustain a person while being left on his own for at least 3 days; this is the number of days that is expected that help could come to someone after an emergency or natural disaster. It is essential that the food that you can find in a best emergency food must have those foods that are high in calories. Some people would include in their survival kit food that won't spoil right away. Some good examples of foods to bring is those that are canned. Canned foods don't expire easily which makes them ideal for travelling and during times of natural disasters. Having can food is already almost a 72 hour kit in a can.
The basic principle of food behind a 72 hour emergency survival kit is to sustain the strength of the person. Without the needed strength during calamities or disasters, the chances of surviving will diminish. Food is one of the basic aspects of survival for man so it is but understandable how it should be always present in a survival kit.
A 72 Hour Food Kit Should Be Readily Available
Aside from food, there are also other stuffs that a person must not forget to have with him during emergencies. Some people would sometimes have a bit of difficulties when it comes to determining what contents their survival kit should have. Because of the many presumed necessities people have nowadays, it is getting very tricky to decide what stuff should just be considered as necessary for survival. The whole idea of having a survival kit is to have only those essential things for survival. Limiting the list of things to be present in your kit will make it more effective since it can be easily carried and available to you.

The involvement hanging around is a lot greater in soccer than for other sports. In football there are so many stoppages in the game. Some players like the kickers may only have very limited involvement in the game. In soccer, even when your team does not have the ball, all of us have to hustle to defend. The forwards need to defend from the front. Defenders when not defending have to support the midfield and forwards.
Soccer becomes manifest pretty quickly paced with almost continuous involvement. Basketball is probably the most similar of the American sports to soccer, the biggest difference being the size of a legal court towards the field.
As well as speed, strength and stamina, skill is of the utmost importance in soccer thus producing a sports athlete with more rounded attributes. At youth level you will sometimes discover that youth soccer players often succeed in another American sports.
A good way to get youth athletes interested in soccer is to buy them watching high-class professional games on television. The English Premier League is probably the better to watch because it is fast paced with a high skill level. Most of the best players on the planet play in this league. There are many Tv producers that show these games like Fox Sports World.
Also it could be good to get prospective youth soccer players to go to a selection of their local college soccer games or semi pro games if there is a group in the region,
And then there is that magical sense of scoring an objective using the goal celebration to follow along with. Soccer is certainly on the increase in the united states. The game produces leaders with increased over-all ability compared to US sports. Success in soccer can result in worldwide acclaim as players like Brad Friedel who plays within the English premier league has shown.
Soccer is the most popular sport in nearly every country on the planet. That is unless you live in the united states where football, baseball and basketball are more popular. Like a soccer coach the issue is therefore ways to get youth players interested in playing soccer rather than the other sports.
Firstly we have to consider the reasons as to why other sports chaussure de foot mercurial are more popular than soccer in the USA. One of the main reasons is spectator appeal. Local football, baseball and basketball are televised and promoted in each and every major city in america. Young athletes watch this and keep company with their heroes. One more reason may be the money obtainable in the professional game is a lot more within the American sports than in soccer. As a result, more young sports players aspire to earn their coping with a high income within the American sports.
Not too soccer is a poor mans sport. Wages for soccer players all over the world are now on the increase. For example 2 of the greatest soccer players in the world Christiano Ronaldo and Robinho are considered to be on $200, 000 and $320,000 each week respectively. David Beckham who plays for LA Galaxy is also high up there using the top soccer player earners. Although the interest in soccer keeps growing in the US among young sportsmen, the sport cannot compete mercurial pas cher as yet using the publicity, advertising and hype of the American sports.
Now you ask , how to persuade young players in the US that soccer is the best sport to go in. Here are a few reasons:
Soccer is really a sport that any player can play and become successful in. As in football where physique and size is a significant factor, in basketball where it's very advantageous to become more than 6 feet tall, any player could be successful in soccer regardless of what size or physique a person has. Big and strong players can find positions as defenders, midfielders or forwards. Small players can find positions as forwards and wingers and develop skills to achieve success in these positions. Slower players may also find positions, particularly in midfield. There's a place for everyone who has the need.

When disaster strikes in Exchange Server 2010
Disaster can strike at any time. Microsoft Exchange Server must be configured to seamlessly fail over without data loss. Can Exchange Server 2010's native database availability groups minimize an admin's backup and DR efforts?
A large part of an Exchange Server administrator's job involves preparing for and recovering from disaster -- setting up a backup strategy or configuring Exchange servers for failover. Microsoft added some seamless new high-availability and site resilience features (backup and disaster recovery) to Exchange Server 2010 that do not involve any additional configuration or extraordinary work to establish.
High availability (HA) in Exchange Server 2007 was a function of continuous cluster replication, which isn't perfect, but still a huge improvement over Windows Server 2003 active/passive failover. In that case, you could leverage Exchange 2007's log shipping and replay functions in conjunction with clustering, but you were still stuck with only one database per storage group.
Exchange Server 2010 gives you multiple databases through the use of database availability groups, or DAGs, which automatically stay in sync with each other. These groups of up to 16 Exchange 2010 mailbox servers automatically replicate Exchange databases and create less of a dependency for a given mailbox to reside on a specific database or server. You can add or remove servers from the DAG at any time with minimal effort. Therefore, DAGs make it possible to combine an HA solution with disaster recovery (DR) because it has elements of both in one package.
DAGs are also useful because they allow more flexibility in how a particular cluster or server setup can be rolled out. You can start with a single Exchange server on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition, and then add more machines at a later time to increase system uptime and availability or for data protection. Mailbox servers can also act as multiuse machines, allowing them to assume other Exchange roles such as unified messaging. Therefore, you don't need to dedicate them exclusively as a failover for other machines.
A DAG can span more than one Active Directory (AD) site. For example, if you have multiple Exchange servers in different data centers, you could include them all in a DAG. Redundancy among the different data centers would add that much more resilience to your setup: If one data center fails, the other continues to run as expected. If you do this, typically you'll need to turn on Datacenter Activation Coordination Mode, which allows a DAG that has been divided across two data centers to survive an outage at one site and still allow both data centers to recover gracefully without each site assuming that it's the only surviving site. Microsoft calls this behavior split-brain syndrome.
Mailbox continuity via dial tone portability
Many of the disaster recovery/continuity features of Exchange Server 2010 will be familiar to trained Exchange admins, but there are a few end-user continuity features -- like dial tone portability -- that will stand out.
Dial tone portability creates a temporary mailbox for a user whose original mailbox lived on a failed database or server. All message traffic is redirected seamlessly to the new mailbox. Users running Microsoft Outlook 2007 or later don't need to reconfigure anything on their end -- they're automatically connected to the new mailbox.
A dial tone recovery can be performed on the server where the database failed. This is recommended so that the database doesn't have to be copied to another server, or on another server, which can in turn become the new permanent home for that user's mailbox if needed. The new way in which databases are managed in Exchange Server 2010 make this feature possible.
Exchange Server 2010's database availability groups were also designed so that updates can be applied to machines in the DAG without interrupting services. You still have to apply updates manually on each machine in the DAG in succession, but automatic failover between these machines means you can simply apply the updates, let the DAG handle the failover gracefully each time and continue on without having to take additional steps.
Windows Server integration and DAG configuration
Exchange Server 2010 integrates very well with Windows Server's conventional backup functions. A DAG's failover and continuity functions aren't meant to be substitutes for conventional backup -- just as RAID isn't a substitute for a proper server backup plan. This is why Microsoft created a Windows Server Backup plug-in for Exchange 2010 that uses the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
The Windows Server Backup plugin isn't perfect. Its list of limitations includes an incompatibility with Windows Server Backups' command-line interface (which still doesn't work with Exchange 2010). In addition, backups only work at the volume level (i.e., no backups of only the database or the logs). But despite these limitations, the plug-in is still useful.
DAGs can be configured in a few different ways. The easiest way and the one most familiar to Exchange admins, is a simple two-member (two-server) DAG. On the higher end, there is a four member DAG -- two local machines and two other machines placed in a remote data center.
The local machines are for availability (if one server goes down, the other keeps chugging); the remote servers are for site resilience (if your onsite data center fails, the other one can pick up where the first left off). All of the work that needs to be done via DAGs can be done from the Exchange Management Console or from a PowerShell prompt -- the former for ease of use, the latter for fine-grained control and scripting.
Obstacle-free replication
These changes in Exchange Server 2010 mean that many long-time Exchange admins have had to adjust the ways in which they perform certain tasks. The most relevant changes encompass the fact that clustered mailbox servers and storage groups no longer exist. This probably sounds extreme at first, but in practice it means there are fewer obstacles to maintaining replication and consistency. You don't have to manually administer Exchange as a clustered application -- for the most part, that is handled under the hood.
Microsoft also made a lot of under-the-hood changes in how replication works in Exchange Server 2010. For example, it has streamlined the process of populating passive copies of a database from the database cache. That way, if a failover occurs, the backup database is available more quickly than in the past.
Exchange admins who have sweated blood in the past getting backup and disaster recovery features to work ought to be intrigued, to say the least, about what Exchange Server 2010 has to offer in this vein. If you're curious about putting it to work in your organization, start by checking out the prerequisites for an Exchange 2010 installation and give it a try. Microsoft offers various trial environments, from a 120-day evaluation copy to a pre-loaded virtual hard disk you can use in your virtual machine of choice.

On March 16, 2011, the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies held a Webinar to release a report, The "Secret" Epidemic: Disparities in Hepatitis C Incidence, Treatment and Outcomes, that summarizes research in new opportunities to tackle the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) epidemic.
What: A Webinar discussion on racial and ethnic disparities in Hepatitis C incidence and treatment that will provide recommendations for federal strategies to address the disease.
Why: In the United States, nearly 1.8 percent of the population - between 2.7 million and 3.9 million Americans - may be infected with the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), with 75 percent of those individuals unaware of their condition. This is nearly four times the prevalence of both HIV and Hepatitis B, although a significantly larger percentage of those infected with HCV are undiagnosed. Of those infected, 55 percent to 85 percent subsequently develop a chronic HCV infection. Most individuals are asymptomatic for years - or in some cases, decades - before this chronic HCV infection leads to the development of cirrhosis, liver failure, or even liver cancer. HCV disproportionately affects communities of color and other populations that face barriers to treatment. But new tools and technologies offer great promise for early detection and treatment of the disease.
Gary A. Puckrein, PhD, is President and Chief Executive Officer of the National Minority Quality Forum. He also serves as Executive Director of the Alliance of Minority Medical Associations (a collaborative effort of the Asian and Pacific Physicians' Association, the Association of American Indian Physicians, the Interamerican College of Physicians and Surgeons, and the National Medical Association). In 1989 Dr. Puckrein founded the Forum's predecessor organization, the National Minority Health Month Foundation, to help communities and policy makers eliminate the disproportionate burden of premature death and preventable illness in special populations through the use of evidence-based, data-driven initiatives. Dr. Puckrein is responsible for congressional proclamations designating April as National Minority Health Month each year. Dr. Puckrein leads the Zip Code Analysis Project, which is building a comprehensive database that links vital statistics and other elements (including demographic, environmental, claims, prescription, laboratory, hospital, and clinic data) in a centralized warehouse, organized around zip codes. Dr. Puckrein has launched a series of atlases to measure and analyze health status in small geographic areas, evaluate the impact of specific interventions, and monitor changes in health outcomes. Dr. Puckrein has published successful magazines, American Visions and Minority Health Today. Dr. Puckrein was awarded his doctorate from Brown University, graduating Phi Beta Kappa. (www.nmqf.org)

As director of the DCRI's Gastroenterology and Hepatology Research Group, he oversees research aimed at improving the treatment of patients with liver disease. He has led successful global clinical trials, including several high-profile studies evaluating new therapeutic approaches in patients with hepatitis C infection. As the Research Group's capabilities continue to grow, Dr. Muir's efforts are centered on integrating the group's capabilities in developing and testing novel therapies with the overarching mission of the Duke Translational Medicine Institute, which seeks to speed cutting-edge treatments from the laboratory bench to the patient bedside and beyond to the communities and populations who can benefit most from them.
This additional emphasis on population health reflects another key area of interest for Dr. Muir, who has a long-standing commitment to improving racial and socioeconomic disparities in health care, as evidenced by his work on health inequalities as a senior research fellow at the Duke Center for Health Policy.
Dr. Muir has authored or co-authored more than 50 peer-reviewed publications. These articles, which have appeared in journals such as Nature, NEJM, Annals of Internal Medicine, Hepatology, and Gastroenterology, including reports evaluating genomics-based strategies for predicting therapeutic response in patients with hepatitis C.

Spell checking only within HTML tags
Oliver Caldwell 8 years ago • updated by Mikael Henriksson 8 years ago • 1
Currently if you turn on spell checking while in a HTML (or similar document) almost all tags will be marked as incorrect.
Would it be possible to have selected spell checking? So within tags in HTML and within strings in other languages?
I concur. The spell check should only be done in strings "please check me" but not outside of that. For regular plain text documents everything should be checked. No idea how much work it is but it would make for an uber solid way of finding the right places to correct.
Having the entire document red is not helpful!

Liberty or Death is the little-known story of the American Revolution told from the perspectives of the African-American slaves who fought on the side of the British Royal Army in exchange for a promise of freedom. Motivated by the 1775 proclamation by Virginia's Royal Governor that any slaves who took up arms on his behalf would be granted their freedom, these men fought bravely for a losing cause. Many of the volunteers succumbed to battle wounds or smallpox, which ran rampant on the British ships on which they were quartered. After the successful Revolution, they emigrated to Canada and, ultimately to West Africa. Liberty or Death is the inspiring story of the forgotten freedom fighters of America's Revolutionary War.
Author Notes
Margaret Whitman Blair is the author of several books for young adults, and is active in the Washington Children's Book Guild. A retired Peace Corps volunteer, she was formerly an international trade and business journalist in Washington D.C. She lives in Rockville, MD.
Reviews 4
School Library Journal Review
Gr 5-8-In 1775, when British loyalist Lord Dunmore of Virginia issued a proclamation promising that escaped slaves who agreed to fight for the British could earn their freedom, hundreds of desperate men, women, and children answered the call. Riveting portrayals of famous battles and harrowing sea adventures, along with stories of slaves' ingenuity, the crucial part they played on both sides of the war, their fight to be compensated as they were promised, and, most importantly, their valiant efforts to seize their freedom highlight this little-known chapter of American history. Historical documentation such as certificates of freedom, emancipation proclamations, and reproductions of 18th-century oil paintings and drawings appear throughout. Personal quotes and anecdotes help to reveal the slaves' resolve and hopefulness and explain the difficult choices they made in regard to which side to ally themselves.-Margaret Auguste, Franklin Middle School, Somerset, NJ (c) Copyright 2010.

Horn Book Review
During the Revolutionary War, slaves were promised freedom in exchange for fighting with the British. The book examines the truthfulness behind the pledge, in addition to individuals' escapes from slaveholders and their struggles to begin lives anew in Nova Scotia and Sierra Leone after the war. Ample reproductions of period art and a map provide additional detail about the Colonial era. Reading list, timeline, websites. Ind. Copyright 2010 of The Horn Book, Inc. All rights reserved.
Kirkus Review
Not much has been written for young readers about runaway slaves who sided with the British during the American Revolution, so this fine work is a welcome addition to the field. As M.T. Anderson did fictionally for older readers in the second volume of the Octavian Nothing saga (The Kingdom on the Waves, 2008), Blair tells the story of Lord Dunmore's Ethiopian Regiment. Though a slaveholder himself, Lord Dunmore offered freedom to slaves who fought for the British, though the offer only applied to slaves whose masters were in rebellion against the crown. Estimates vary, but at least 15,000 to 20,000 slaves answered Lord Dunmore's call. These black loyalists fought in a separate regiment from white soldiers, while the 5,000 who fled to the patriot side fought in integrated units, a fascinating indication of the complex meanings of freedom in this turbulent time. Clear writing and a lively, if busy, format make this an eminently readable work, and maps, drawings, paintings and sidebars heighten the appeal. The epilogue offers historical perspective and celebrates the determination of the black loyalists to "live and thrive as free men and women." Another solid history from National Geographic.

Booklist Review
*Starred Review* In too many American history books for young people, the role of African Americans in the Revolutionary War begins and ends with Crispus Attucks at the Boston Massacre. Blair provides a well-researched account of slaves in Virginia who, beginning in 1775, fled to the British. The royal governor of the colony hoped to put down the rebellion in part by offering freedom to slaves of rebels (but not of loyalists) who would flee their masters and fight for the British side. Foraging, fighting, spying, and working as laborers, they risked their lives for liberty, and many of them died. At the war's end, the British transported some 3,000 former slaves to Nova Scotia, and later sent nearly half of those to a new settlement in Sierra Leone. Though told in a matter-of-fact tone, the story is often heart-wrenching: the slaves, offered freedom for strategic rather than moral reasons, died in great numbers, and those who survived were promised benefits that never fully materialized. Colorful reproductions of period paintings, prints, and documents illustrate the clearly written text. Back matter includes a time line, source notes, and lists of recommended books, places to visit, and Web sites. A fine and singular addition to American history collections .--Phelan, Carolyn Copyright 2010 Booklist
