Mischa Barton
- 1989
Crossing the Pond
Paul, an English former foreign exchange broker, and Nuala, an Irish homemaker and photographer, move their daughters – Zoe, Mischa and Hania – to New York City from London. Despite living in the U.S. most of her life, Barton tells PEOPLE in 2005, "I consider myself British."
- circa 1994
Young Prodigy
After being asked to write and perform her own monologue at summer camp, 8-year-old Barton crafts a piece about turtles, catching the attention of a talent scout, who alerts her parents to her ability as a performer.
- 1995
Early Inspiration
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner casts 9-year-old Barton in his play Slavs! as a young Russian, opposite Oscar winner Marisa Tomei. In 2004, Barton tells PEOPLE that Kushner "is the reason I act for a living."
- 1997 – 2001
From Broadway to the Big Screen
After appearing on Broadway, Barton makes her film debut as a socially awkward 10-year-old opposite Sam Rockwell in the 1997 drama Lawn Dogs. Two years later, the still little-known actress plays a memorably spooky ghost in The Sixth Sense, opposite Haley Joel Osment and Bruce Willis. She later takes on roles in Notting Hill and Lost and Delirious.
- 2003
Beach Blastoff
After meeting producer McG while guest-starring on his short-lived crime series Fastlane, Barton is cast as the popular and privileged Marissa Cooper for his new FOX series The OC. "She was our only choice for Marissa," McG tells PEOPLE. The teen drama, which costars Benjamin McKenzie, Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson, soon draws huge audiences, propelling Barton to stardom.
- 2004
She's Got the Look
After modeling for Calvin Klein jean ads and becoming a regular in the fashion mags, Barton is declared "a triple threat: in entertainment, fashion and beauty" by Women's Wear Daily. Topping off her OC success, Barton signs a two-year deal with skincare line Neutrogena.
Soap Opera Sweetie
Barton meets oil heir Brandon Davis, whose billionaire family was the inspiration for the 1980s nighttime soap Dynasty. In April, Davis confirms that they're in a relationship. The couple is a fixture on the Hollywood nightclub scene and vacation together in Saint Tropez. However, after more than a year of dating, Barton and Davis call it quits.
Midwest Move
Barton starts filming The OH in Ohio, a drama in which she plays a teen who seduces a teacher played by Paul Rudd. "If you're considered a 'pretty' girl, then you have a really hard time having people open up to find you roles, because they want to peg you as something," Barton tells Allure in 2005. "So I've chosen quite dark characters." The indie film grosses less than $500,000 at the box office.
- 2005
Getting Her Kicks
Barton further secures her foothold in the fashion industry when she signs on as a spokeswoman for cool-again Keds. The star has been a fan of the sneakers since she was a kid. "They were blue with white laces," she says to PEOPLE of her first pair. "I've been wearing Keds a lot lately, because they're comfortable, sexy and they go with everything."
On-Screen Sexuality
In a much-talked-about episode of The OC, Barton engages in a kiss with another woman, played by Olivia Wilde, who her character briefly dates. Viewer reaction? "Very Supportive," The OC creator Josh Schwartz tells PEOPLE.

My daughter has had 4 pairs of these as she's grown (she's 4 now), they are great slippers, soft, warm and comfy and they stay on little feet very well. Great for walking on cold floors and nice and flexible for crawling or playing on the floor. (Posted on 11/7/13)

UNIVERSITY PARK - The Penn State women's basketball team is going back to Baton Rouge, La.
The Lady Lions found out Monday that they would start the NCAA tournament in the same place as last season, Louisiana State's Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Penn State (25-5), the No. 3 seed in the Spokane Region, will play 14th-seeded Cal Poly (21-10) in a first-round game at 5:15 p.m. Sunday. The game will broadcast on ESPN2.
"We had a good showing down there last year," said Penn State coach Coquese Washington after the Lady Lions watched ESPN's tournament selection show in the Founder's Room at the Bryce Jordan Center. "LSU is a great place to play. I love the fans. It's a great NCAA tournament atmosphere. So, we're looking forward to going back."
Penn State is making its third consecutive appearance in the NCAA tournament and 24th overall. The No. 3 seed is its highest since 2004, when the Lady Lions were the top seed in the East Region. That year, they advanced to the Regional final before losing to Connecticut.
Last season, the Lady Lions were the fourth seed in the Kingston Region and won two games in Baton Rouge, beating Texas at El Paso and LSU before losing to UConn in the Regional semifinals.
A possible rematch with LSU on its home court looms. With a victory Sunday, the Lady Lions would advance to play the winner of the Tigers-Green Bay game in the second round Tuesday. Looking ahead, Stanford and California out of the Pac-12 Conference are the top two seeds in the Spokane Region and possible opponents for Penn State.
"Being [in Louisiana] last year, it was a really good environment, hostile in a way because it was a home-court advantage for LSU," Nikki Greene said. "That fact that we're going back, we're excited."
While a return trip was a surprise for the Lady Lions, so was their seeding. Penn State, which is ranked No. 8 in the current Associated Press rankings, was projected as a No. 2 seed by ESPN's bracketology after finishing 14-2 in the Big Ten Conference and winning its second straight regular-season title.
"It was really close," Washington said. "Once you got past the top four or five [overall] seeds, you can make an argument either way for a three seed, two seed. To me, it doesn't make much a difference between a two seed or three seed. If both teams advance, you play each other anyway. We'll take it."
"We thought we were going to be a two or a three," added Maggie Lucas. "It is what it is. You still have to win six games to get to the championship. That doesn't change. We're ready to focus on ourselves."
First up for Penn State is a matchup with Cal Poly, the Big West Conference tournament champion, which is making its first-ever appearance in the NCAA tournament. The Lady Lions, who are 14-3 all-time in first-round games, are playing the Mustangs for the first time.
Penn State, which won 17 of 18 games from mid-December to late February, has faltered somewhat down the stretch. The Lady Lions have lost two of their past four games, including a 54-46 defeat to Michigan State in the Big Ten tournament semifinals March 9.
Greene said the Lady Lions have since worked on "fine tuning" their game.
"Of course, we had a slip in the Big Ten tournament," she said. "We went back to the gym, worked more on our defense and corrected some stuff on offense that will help us throughout the tournament."
Washington said she was happy with her team's attitude heading into the NCAA tournament.
"We said all along that we wanted to come into March playing good basketball and I like the way we're playing," Washington said. "I like the way that our confidence is. I know they're excited to go out there and give the NCAA tournament another run."

Prior to 2004, the NASCAR Winston Cup Series' all-star exhibition race held at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte, NC. Previous race winners (up to the previous running), as well as the winners of an "open" race (The Winston Open) and a "sprint" race (The No Bull Sprint/No Bull 25's) would race for a handsome purse (the winner received $1 million in 2003).
Starting in 2004, the race will be known as the NASCAR Nextel All-Star Challenge.

From an email I received from Marriott: " In order to accommodate the preferences of the vast majority of our guests, all Marriott® hotels in the United States and Canada will become 100% smoke-free by October 15, 2006.....................The new policy includes all guest rooms, restaurants, lounges, meeting rooms, public spaces, and employee work areas. ..................."
I will be staying at Marriott when I travel. They are obviously interested in public health and they recognize that the majority of Americans do not smoke.

How to Prepare for a Job Interview
Even if you are still in the job search phase right now, it is never too early to start preparing for the interview process. After all, if you apply to the right jobs and send a professional resume, you can expect a call in just a few days! So how can you prepare for a job interview?
Practice: The best way to breeze through an interview is to practice the interview at home. You can do this in front of your mirror (silly but it does work) or enlist the help of a friend or family member. You want to go down through the list of common questions asked during an interview: What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? Why do you want to work for our company? What can you bring to the company? By doing a few practice job interview sessions at home, you can prepare for these common questions and develop a well-planned and well-crafted answer.
Research: Of course you don't want to overdo it, but knowing a little bit about the company you are applying to has its benefits. As mentioned above, a common interview question is "why do you want to work for our company?" If the company has been in business for years, you could tie their long-lasting existence into your answer. As long as you don't go overboard by trying to prove you did your research, this knowledge can work to your advantage.
Dress: Start thinking about what you need to wear to the job interview. This is recommended for planning ahead because you may need to go shopping and buy a new outfit. General rule of thumb is to always dress professional to make a good impression. This means even if you are applying for a job at McDonalds or a local retail store, bring out your best clothes. In most cases, for semi-informal interviews a nice shirt and a pair of kakai pants will do the trick.
By implanting the above mentioned steps you will be well prepared for your upcoming job interviews even the ones that aren't scheduled yet! Speaking of which, start your job search today with the help of a job finder.
It is easier to land a job interview when you apply for more jobs in the same amount of time with the JobFinder. Search the best job sites at once!

The history of the Depression era in Buffalo and Western New York will gain a little more attention – and likely become more accessible to the public – thanks to a new leadership grant awarded to the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library system.
The grant, just under $320,000, was made by the Institute of Museum & Library Services, which awards leadership grants nationally. The federal agency also awarded grants to 51 other museums and libraries across the country, library officials said.
The funding directed to Buffalo is intended as a two-year grant, library officials said, to fund an ongoing project known as "The Public Library as Digitized Commons – A Demonstration Project." The project got started in 2009.
The goal of the project is to create a first-ever catalog of resources related to Buffalo's history from the 1920s and 1930s, according to library officials.
An aim of the project is to make the region's Depression-era history accessible and searchable for the public, and to connect the public with this history in new ways.
"This project will generate deeper collaborations, new types of access to library and regional resources, and new ways to share the stories of our local heritage," Library Director Mary Jean Jakubowski said in a statement.
The Institute for Museum & Library Services is a source of federal support for 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums across the country.

SCHLADMING, Austria
With Lindsey Vonn injured and Bode Miller already out for the season, it�s Ted Ligety�s turn to lead the U.S. ski team.
A day after Vonn�s season-ending crash at the world championships, Ligety showed off his rapidly improving speed skills to win the first super-G of his career in the marquee event of the season.
The timing was not lost on the Park City, Utah, native.
�It�s definitely (tough) losing those teammates that have been so good over so many years and really carried the flag of the U.S.,� Ligety said. �It�s tough losing them, for sure, but it�s an individual sport, too. You�re out there competing for yourself.�
Building on his giant slalom skills, Ligety surprised even himself Wednesday. In front of a crowd of 24,000, he took a lot of risks in the turning final section and mastered the Planai course in 1 minute, 23.96 seconds.
Gauthier De Tessieres of France was 0.20 back in second in another stunning result, and Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway, who won three of the four World Cup super-Gs this season, was another 0.02 back in third.
Defending champion Christof Innerhofer of Italy finished 1.09 off the pace in seventh.
�(Wednesday) was unbelievable,� said Ligety, who was the 10th starter. �It was a nerve-racking 30 minutes, waiting for all the favorites to come down. (To) finally see (Svindal) come down right behind me was a huge weight off my shoulders.�
Ligety made a super-G podium only once before, finishing second in a World Cup at Val d�Is�re, France, in 2009. This season, he�s finished fourth in two races.
�I am having a good year in super-G, but I didn�t think this was possible,� he said. �I thought I had a chance for a medal. ... I knew I had to take many risks at the bottom to have a chance. I tried not to slide and to ski as clean as possible.�
Ligety became the third American to win the world super-G title in the last 12 years after Daron Rahlves in St. Anton, Austria, in 2001 and Miller in Bormio, Italy, four years later.
The gold is Ligety�s second worlds medal, two years after winning the giant slalom in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.
It�s also the second medal for the U.S. team this week, a day after Julia Mancuso placed third in the women�s super-G.
Vonn�s season ended when she tore ligaments in her knee and broke a bone in her leg in a crash Tuesday, but Ligety said that wasn�t on his mind.
�It�s very sad for Lindsey because she was doing great, but it didn�t matter for my race,� he said. �You have to move on. I am sure she will be back next year. As a ski racer, you can�t let that affect you too much.�
The course set with many turns suited Ligety�s style of skiing. He usually arches long turns better than most of the speed specialists.
�He has been just charging and skiing clean as in GS, with the confidence to take it down the hill at super-G speed.� U.S. men�s coach Sasha Rearick said.
�He was able to hang tight with the best gliders on the top and took some time on them on the bottom,� Rearick said.
Ligety trailed De Tessieres by 0.41 at the first intermediate time, 30 seconds into his run. He reduced the deficit to 0.06 over the next 30 seconds and beat the Frenchman in the bottom section.
De Tessieres, whose best super-G result on the circuit was eighth, had not qualified for the French team, but he replaced Johan Clarey, who pulled out with a back injury Sunday.
�It�s difficult to describe this week,� De Tessieres said. �I hadn�t qualified and got a phone call from the coach a couple of days ago, and now I am here. I am so happy. It�s amazing, a crazy story.�
Several favorites led Ligety at the first split, including Svindal, Austria�s Matthias Mayer and Italy�s Matteo Marsaglia and Innerhofer.
The course was set by Norway coach Tron Moger, who also placed the gates when Svindal won the super-G in Val Gardena, Italy, in December.
�I took a lot of risks and had a small mistake at the end,� Svindal said. �The conditions were OK but not ideal. With this (low) light, you don�t see the bumps. I am satisfied. Ted did just great.�
The World Championships will continue with the women�s super-combined Friday.
Regina Sterz of Austria posted the fastest time in the first women�s downhill training at the World Championships on Wednesday. The downhill is Sunday.

Developer Carl P. Paladino intensified his long-standing feud with the Buffalo School Board on Wednesday after accusing Superintendent Pamela C. Brown of refusing to release a long-awaited report on the district by Distinguished Educator Judy Elliott.
The superintendent denied that any such report had been released by State Education Commissioner John B. King Jr. Elliott, who was appointed last fall by King to serve as a consultant to the low-performing school district, was given the responsibility of issuing quarterly reports on the district, the first of which has yet to be released.
"The report was apparently delivered to the superintendent and the state commissioner, John King, but it wasn't published," Paladino complained during the public comment portion of the board's regular business meeting Wednesday.
"The superintendent apparently didn't like the content and complained to Commissioner King. The superintendent should not have any say in the content of a report, which should be an objective review of her performance and that of the district."
Brown responded that the report will be made public only after King releases it. "It is within the authority of Commissioner King to release the report that, I believe, has been submitted to him by Dr. Elliott. That is not within my authority. So as soon as he is ready to release the report, it will be released," she said. "You might want to check your facts sometimes before you make public statements."
Paladino also engaged in verbal sparring with board President Ruth Ann Kapsiak after he accused her of having received Elliott's report five weeks ago. Paladino, who is seeking a seat on the School Board in the May elections, later acknowledged that he had misspoken and meant to say that it was the superintendent who was in possession of the report.
Brown did not say whether she had seen the report, only that its release had not yet been authorized by King.
"Well, I was told that the report was given to you five weeks ago. You haven't shared it with the board, obviously," Paladino said.
"That is not correct. I'm not sure what the source of your information is," Brown responded.
Paladino also accused the board and school officials of covering up instances of violence in the district's schools.

Meeting Committed Educators at the Ed.D. Residency
With this opportunity to come to Walden, I'm meeting this whole new group of fabulous educators who are motivated and who are excited about learning and excited about education and moving forward with their lives. To get to meet them in real life—even if they weren't people I had in my first class—to talk to everybody about their experiences: It was very similar to the Teacher of the Year experience on a larger scale, because there are just so many fantastic people out there.
Everybody that you meet wants to share their Walden experience with you. They want to tell you, "Oh, you're thinking about doing this for a project? Well, here's my email, and when we get home, you email me and I will send you this information that I have." Faculty has been great. Don Jones was all excited when I told him one of my thoughts, and said, "I just finished up with a girl who did her research study on something very similar. I just emailed it to you, so it should be in your inbox when you get back." Everybody's been great, and the collegiality that you feel in this Walden community—and I think it is really, truly a community—has been wonderful.
What I'm taking away from this residency truly is that you're not in it alone, that the faculty is more than there to help you.

Do you have a smartphone? If you do, Maymont has started a smartphone scavenger hunt!
Maymont is a city park, former home of Major James Dooley and his wife, Sallie. The house itself is built in the style of the Newport RI "cottages" or mansions, though on a slightly smaller scale. This scavenger hunt, called the Seven Wonders of Maymont, encourages visitors to explore the entire park. You'll have to check in at seven locations: The Nature Center, Children's Farm, Birds of Prey, Japanese Garden, Italian Garden, Carriage House, and yes – even the Mansion itself. If you visit with your friends, BUMP phones with them to get extra points. Other additional points can be gained by fulfilling challenges like taking photos like doing yoga in the Japanese Garden, or uploading comments like making animal noises at the farm, or scanning QR codes strategically placed around the grounds and features.
The SCVNGR app also lets you create challenges to share. So you have to download the SCVNGR app and a bar code scanning app to fully participate. To begin using SCVNGR, a smartphone application that combines the social media aspects of FourSquare with a scavenger hunt, a barcode is input into your phone at the visitor's center at the mansion. So, check in and add an element of technology to your visit to Richmond's Gilded Age.
Maymont is just down Meadow Street from the historic Fan District, that turn-of-the-century (19th to 20th, that is) neighborhood with residential uses, shopping, galleries, and neighborhood eateries. The Fan is also home to Richmond's premier bed and breakfast, home of the hearty gourmet breakfast. It's definitely "a better way to stay" that lets you experience local life in Richmond's foremost neighborhood. And, we're not the B&B of yesteryear, we have free Wi-Fi and all the amenities today's travelers have come to expect!

UB's QUIT Program offers smokers—especially heavy smokers—a proven way to kick the habit and stay off cigarettes permanently.
Using three-week treatment programs that involve a combination of group therapy and nicotine-replacement treatment, the QUIT Program is based on the most up-to-date research.
"Our combination of group therapy and medication has been proven to result in the highest likelihood of staying quit," says Lisa Germeroth, creator and primary clinician of the QUIT Program, who has treated smokers through the program for two semesters. Germeroth and all other QUIT Program clinicians are advanced clinical psychology students who have earned their master's degrees and are working toward their PhDs.
Group therapy sessions take place from 6-7:30 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the Friday of week two. The program is open to anyone 18 years or older. While it is geared toward heavier smokers—10 or more cigarettes smoked per day—clinicians also have used the program successfully to help lighter smokers.
There is a one-time, $65 fee paid to UB's Psychological Services Center. The QUIT Program is affiliated with UB's Department of Psychology, whose faculty has offered full support of their doctoral students in providing this program to community members.
"If you are interested in quitting smoking and would like to see if you are eligible for our program, please call the Psychological Services Center at 645-3697," says Germeroth. "Remember, it is never too early or too late to quit smoking."

my first year primal, i cheated maybe 4 or 5 times...on major holidays. now, i'm a lot less strict and cheat whenever there's a good reason to. a craving isn't a good reason in my opinion...there's always something primal that can beat that craving. but, i'll have pizza if i'm visiting friends and that's what they're eating. i'll have cake and ice cream at a birthday party. i'll be throwing back some beer at the warrior dash this weekend. but, i still try to keep those instances low and not more than a couple of times per month...except around christmas. i go food crazy at christmas.
the "cheating" that you're doing isn't all that bad; there are certainly worse things you could eat. a little cheat here and there isn't going to kill you, and it probably isn't even going to derail your progress all that much. but, if you're concerned about it, find out what a good primal replacement is for what you want. ice cream? maybe some dark chocolate or berries will fix that. peanut butter cups? almond or macadamia butter...or the actual nuts.

"I can even see it -- if I force myself, I can see being in the water, and the Turkish boat coming," Bend resident David Stoliar said Tuesday.
As Stoliar describes the scene of the mad chaos following the Feb. 24, 1942, sinking of the SS Struma, he waves his hands, recalling details vividly as if they were right before his eyes.
It happened 71 years ago, but the now 90-year-old Stoliar will never forget the day a Soviet submarine fired a torpedo at the ship he was on -- a ship he hoped would help him escape anti-semitic persecution during World War II.
"We were hanging on to all kinds of debris that was still in the water," Stoliar said. "That was very early in the morning, and in the evening, people disappeared, drowning. And by the evening, I was by myself."
Stoliar grew up in Kishinev, Romania, and was 18 when the Axis-aligned Romanian government started killing and persecuting Jewish citizens.
Stoliar himself was forced to work in labor camps, digging ditches.
He said at that time, the government had taken away radios from the Jewish residents, and while they didn't always know exactly what was going on, there were frightening whispers on the street.
"Just rumors, rumors, rumors. These rumors are that basically it's dangerous to walk in the street, people are killed in the street, and make sure they don't catch you," he said.
So Stoliar's father paid a hefty price -- equivalent to $1,000 -- to save his son's life, getting him passage aboard the SS Struma with 768 other Jewish refugees headed to Palestine.
A trip that was supposed to be the beginning of a new and safer life turned out to be anything but.
The Struma, a broken down cattle ship that shouldn't have carried more than 150 people, had a weak and sputtering engine. It only ran for 15 minutes, Stoliar said, before it stopped -- and never turned on again.
He said a Romanian tugboat pulled them to water near harbors in Istanbul, Turkey before turning back.
There, Stoliar said they were confronted by the Turkish government, which refused to let the refugees continue their journey to the British-ruled Palestine.
With no help, no working engine and political gridlock between the British and Turkish officials, the ship had nowhere to go, and starving passengers aboard were left with little food, water or supplies, waiting and hoping for a miracle.
Stoliar said they only survived by the food Jewish Turks would bring to them.
"We were told that we were in quarantine, so nobody in, nobody out," Stoliar said. And we stayed there for nearly two months. It's a nightmare, and it was a nightmare from the beginning to the end. We were quite desperate."
But nobody ever came to their rescue, and finally, Turkish officials cut their anchor and towed them back into the Black Sea -- and left them.
They were a sitting duck in hostile waters.
And on Feb. 24 1942, the S.S. Struma was torpedoed by a Soviet submarine.
"I was projected suddenly into the air, and then I fell into the water," Stoliar said. "By the time I surfaced, there was no ship, the ship practically evaporated.
Most died instantly; others slowly froze to death or drowned.
"I could see that he fell into the water and his head was moving, like from the waves, and he was dead," Stoliar recalled, talking about the first shipmate who he had shared a piece of deck with. That man died shortly before Stoliar was rescued.
The disaster killed everyone, including more than 100 children, Stoliar's fiance and his friends -- everyone except him.
"I was sure I was going to die, because all the other people around me were dying," he said.
And those other people dying just may have been what saved him.
Stoliar said as more people died and slipped underwater, his piece of deck rose more and more out of the water -- giving him a chance to get mostly out of the icy water.
After spending more than a day floating in freezing temperatures, he was finally rescued by Turkish coast officials--only to be thrown in jail.
"When I asked why I was being locked up, they told me because I don't have a Turkish visa, I'm an illegal," he said.

Hi! I'm Christine.
My family and I started Amelie Scott Designs back in 2008. It was just the perfect business for our family. I love to sew and quilt and create, and so does my daughter. My husband, Mark, has degrees in English, and used to be an editor. (Yes, I sleep with the editor to get myself published, but it has worked well for 25 years so why not.) Back in 2008 my son was taking a web design class in high school, so he was put in charge of our website. Being a teenage boy, he was not keen on a "sewing business," and would tell his friends and teachers that we "sell 'stuff' out of our basement." Later though, he took over creating all the wonderful diagrams we have in our patterns. He is now studying to be an accountant, and is slowing taking over the books. I also work and teach part time in at Quilt Beginnings, in Dublin, Ohio.
People often ask us how we got our company name. My daughter's middle name is Amelie (named after my favorite ancestor and pronounced (uh may lee), and my middle name is Scott.
I hope you enjoy making up our projects as much as we enjoy creating them! Send us pictures! We LOVE seeing your finished projects.
This is a fun, fast, and easy "in-the-hoop" embroidery project that is perfect for gifts, or to have around your home. This mug rug features an applique harp and a pair of shamrocks.
This pattern includes step-by-step instructions with photographs, and an additional harp applique embroidery design for use with other projects. Available embroidery formats: ART, HUS, JEF, PEC, PES, and VIP.
This is one of several Irish-themed mug rugs we have created. Check out our other Irish and Winter-themed mug rugs if you like this one.

Sorry about my camera mans thumb.
This is a 275 lb boar that we trapped then fed out for a bit , first time he ever saw anybody in his pen and boom!
1858 rem. shorty .457 ball 30 grains fff goex
October 31, 2012, 12:43 AM
I finished off a doe mule deer with my 44 Sheriff's navy 44. 30grs FFFg + .454 ball sure did the trick. Besides the BOOM and smoke, it peeled back about 2 inches of hide off her forehead. Obviously it was very close range; one of those "Stand back & plug your ears" sort of things.
October 31, 2012, 10:00 AM
Ear shot?
I bought some 240 grn bullets and T7 for hunting because I may run into one of those, though I certainly hope not to be that close!!! :what: If so I sure hope it drops like that!!! :eek:
October 31, 2012, 10:48 AM
This was from a tree stand at 35 yards with my Ruger Old Army and cast 210 gr. minie balls in front of 40 gr. of 4FG.

****In response to bamaboy
Yes head shot, when we cleaned , skinned him you could put the water hose in his spinal column and water squirted out his bullet hole!
That was # 4 for the Remington , I quit carrying .357 magnum , I ve had to shoot one 4 times at that range to get same results!
.45 acp same distance hog coming fast one shot center forehead they sit down then fall over and quiver.
.457 roundball same results each time.
Most hogs 250 or better but in our large trap and pissed, gates 4 ft I'll stand and let them charge fire right before they jump or ram it!

Patocazador, What size minnie-ball do you use? Do you get the lead waste ring when you set the minnie?

Patocazador, What size minnie-ball do you use? Do you get the lead waste ring when you set the minnie?
I switched bullets since then. I was using the cone-shaped .456 210 gr. that my mold put out but switched to a Lee mold bullet that is flat-nosed and weighs 255 gr. It's more accurate and more deadly to the game. I used it to kill a small buck about a week ago.
Yes, they both left the lead ring when loading them.

So how much meat do you git out o' one them ?
I 'spect they taste nuthin like storbot ?
loose noose
November 1, 2012, 10:01 AM
Jim, I hunted wild bore up around Monterey, California, back in the late '70s, I shot a 250# bore and we got just over 160#s of meat off it. The bacon was really good, however the chops, were rather tough, and the hams were really fat, but tasty if I remember right. Further we had the entire bore smoked, before we took 'er home. I believe that is the only way to prepare a wild bore, but I may be wrong, it's happened here before.:D
November 1, 2012, 10:23 AM
I've shot 'em in the head with a .22LR from a mini revolver and killed 'em. They ain't bulllet proof. I'd hunt with the ROA and may in the future. Loaded up with a 220 grain cast Lee HP to the max with 777, it rivals a magnum revolver, well, .357 Magnum, for energy.
November 1, 2012, 10:25 AM
Bacon? Your correct not the amount of meat as store bought , but way better!
We cut the ribs off and deep freeze the spine for a week or so, then over to the 12" chop saw, inch and ahalf pork choPs! Do the same with the hams. Out back grab some mesquite and cook away. We smoke our own summer sausage too
November 1, 2012, 10:29 AM
I quit carrying my .357 cause .457 roundball out performes big time, my shots arnt over ten ft away always coming at me
November 1, 2012, 10:31 AM
I mostly grind pork for sausage. I do keep the hams for smoking and the backstrap, of course (AKA pork loin). I keep the ribs for BBQ, also. The rest makes sausage. :D
I trapped this one last year. 9x19 killed it quite dead. I had my CVA Wolf I'd been in the stand with, but didn't wanna clean it. LOL! I normally shoot 'em in the trap with whatever I'm carrying that day. I always have a CCW on me, is part of my clothing whenever I'm dressed. :D
November 1, 2012, 10:34 AM
All you need in that roa is one these fancy new soft roundballs and some goex fff , it cleans up with water!
November 1, 2012, 10:36 AM
Goex is not available here. Where are you getting real BP? I've not seen any in 35 years on a shelf anywhere and I refuse to order it and pay a hazmat fee. Besides, my ROA loves 777. :D I shoot a lot of Pyrodex P and RS in the rifles.
Anyway, I never carry a BP revolver, usually have the 9 or my .38 or my .357 magnum on me. I've taken several HUNTING with a .357 blackhawk, too, 165 grain Keith style SWC at 1470 fps. It's deadly, too. Longest shot was 60 yards from a tripod stand.
Here's a .357 kill, little pig, I shot out of the trap as I was walking, about 17 yards, head shot.
November 1, 2012, 10:41 AM
Mc brides in Austin . 3 to 4 hrs away so I buy 2 lbs at a time , about 4 times or so a year. 22 bucks each last month
November 1, 2012, 10:44 AM
What part of tx you in
November 1, 2012, 10:49 AM
Moving. Was in Port Lavaca for 30 years, Corpus for 2, now moving to between Sheridan and Rock Island....which is between Hallettsville and Eagle Lake....which is north of Victoria. :D I'm currently in an 18 ft travel trailer in Port O'Connor waiting to close on my house. Sold the one in Corpus over a month ago. I'd be going crazy, but my land is just down the road and I've been shooting a lot. :D
November 1, 2012, 10:53 AM
And mcbrides won't tell you over the phone you have to go upstairs to the muzzle loading area and ask then you gO back down stairs and they ask you what your going to use it for then they put it in brown paper sack away from your caps I get a kick out of it!
November 1, 2012, 10:55 AM
I live in south coleman county not far from Colorado river, 75 miles from Abilene
November 1, 2012, 10:59 AM
Well, I'll be in Colorado county, just down stream.....two or three hundred miles...:D The Colorado cuts across 90A between Altair and Eagle Lake. Lotsa hogs in them woods and I have a few acres there with the house, enough room for the trap and a box blind/feeder. I'll probably tote my 5.5" '58 Remmy some and maybe shoot a pig with it at some point. :D That thing is accurate and toteable. The ROA is a bit of a brick on the hip. All my BP stuff is in storage at the moment except for the guns which I've kept with me. I haven't gotten to shoot a front loader in 2 months, mostly just .22s, but I like my .22s. :D
November 1, 2012, 11:06 AM
My 100 yd range is 25 ft from my door , have a 500 yd range 5 miles away! My Remington shorty s are m. O. H. Minute of hog up to 100yds
Sand bags of course , only actually shoot hogs at 5 to 10 ft no sights just wait till they turn and charge And boom! Drops em like a rock, .357 mag required 4 shots so like I said it stays home now
November 1, 2012, 11:13 AM
My pair of shorty s are always loaded but so is my 51 sheriff , walker , combat commander, Kentucky pistol, ....
Now if I'm hunting or scouting my remmy is on my hip my Stevens 311 is in my hand! 18.5 " barrels night time might be 13" barrels
November 1, 2012, 11:15 AM
Never shot a hog with anything but a handgun
Jim, West PA
November 1, 2012, 11:37 AM
Thanx Noose, i figgered there was smokin involved in there somewhere.
I've tasted non smoked pork before and, well, there jist wernt no flavor to it.
Suprising that yer chops were tough.That area of an animal is the tenderest meat.
I bet bore huntin is a very exciting undertaking.
'specialy with a soot maker :D
Jim, West PA
November 1, 2012, 11:50 AM
McGunner and Noose,
You guys can be makin yer own black powder very easily and far cheaper than buyin it.
November 1, 2012, 12:51 PM
Hmm, shot a buncha hogs with .357 and never needed, but one. The wounding is impressive. Heavy bullet for hunting. The little one in that pic I shot with my carry load, 140 grain Speer JHP bullet and from the 3" barrel of my carry gun, about 600 ft lbs. I load it over 17.0 grains 2400. It's hot. The pressure from it in that pig's head blew out his right eyeball 3" out of its socket. Kinda gory, didn't take the pic of it's right side. One thing about that little 3" carry, its sorta hard on the ears without hearing protection, but I guess if your life depends on it, I can get over the ringing eventually. LOL But, that's a price to pay for the horsepower. I don't even practice with .22s without hearing protection, though.
I've got a 180 grain XTP load pushes 1403 fps out of my 6.5" Blackhawk for 785 ft lbs. I've got a .45 Colt Blackhawk, too, that pushes a 300 grain XTP to 1120 fps for 800+ ft lbs from a 4 5/8" barrel. I need to kill one with that. I've shot a few in the trap with a cast 255 at about 950 fps, less than impressive compared to the .357, but it killed 'em. I'm sure the hot load will work better, just normally don't carry that load.
Then, I've shot 5 deer with my .30-30 handgun, a 2x scoped Contender. That one will put 1000 ft lbs on target at 200 yards and is 1.5 MOA accurate. My old eyes need the scope for that sort of precision. I'm not averse to modern technology, but I do like my black powder stuff. I will do more with it when I get settled. I have been thinkin' about killing SOMEthing with that ROA for 30 years and just haven't done it. It's a bucket list item, though.
November 1, 2012, 01:03 PM
McGunner and Noose,
You guys can be makin yer own black powder very easily and far cheaper than buyin it.
Yeah, I know, have several spots bookmarked. But, I'd rather just buy it...or a suitable substitute. The ONLY thing I don't like about the subs is that they're tougher to ignite. I won't even GO there with Blackhorn 209. Takes a blasting cap to torch that stuff. I know, I know, clean out the breach block hole, NAH, rather shoot 777 anyway. Can see absolutely NO advantage in the Blackhorn 209. 777 is accurate and powerful and goes bang without the hassles.
If I could easily get BP, I'd shoot it a lot due to the ease of ignition, so long as it was accurate in my gun. I would probably still hunt with 777 in the iinline, but I'd shoot BP in lieu of Pyrodex in my sidelocks and my revolvers. Where you can get it, it tends to be a little cheaper, too, but the ease of ignition is the deal with me. It performs no better otherwise. Caps torch Pyrodex just fine in my revolvers, but in sidelocks, it's an iffy deal. I converted one Hawken to fire number 450 magnum small rifle primers. THAT did the trick. :D The other, I just pull the nipple and dribble a little powder under it, insures ignition. With 2F, I wouldn't have that problem. But, I ain't drivin' to Austin just for powder. I mean, if it was 30 miles away, I'd avoid the traffic. Besides, I'm an Aggie, am allergic to that town. :D
Once I get out there in the woods and if'n I get real bored, I might mess with the BP synthesis thing. I can probably find willow along the river somewhere. One can order KNO3 and Sulfur online for the production of BP, high purity. I know about the feed store sources, too. I don't have any sieves, would prefer to screen it for proper granulation if I got into that. I've found sieve screens on ebay for about 40 bucks. Yeah, I've researched the subject.
November 1, 2012, 01:05 PM
Oh, and you don't even need a gun of any kind to kill hogs. I've killed 'em with a filet knife. :D

Is it possible to jerk pork ?
November 1, 2012, 05:06 PM
You can jerk anything but you had better be sure it is COOKED or brined well. Pork is famous for tapeworms and trichinosis. Cooking kills the parasites.

November 2, 2012, 02:44 AM
on the subject of black powder availability, someone put a link up recently to grafs and sons, that had pretty reasonable prices for real BP. plus if you were to order a few pounds at once it would lessen the impact of the hazard fee since they only have the one charge. i believe it was around $10-12 a pound for their BP. i kinda want to order me a few pounds as i have never shot the real stuff :(
November 3, 2012, 11:23 PM
I shot plenty of BP back in the day when gun shops kept it on the shelf with the other powders. DuPont was mostly what I got back then. I don't really notice ANY difference in BP and Pyrodex EXCEPT BP ignites more easily and that's kinda a big deal in a sidelock. A FLINTER of course, MUST have the real stuff for proper ignition.
Yeah, I've thought about ordering it. I might in the future once I get settled and the UPS guy knows where I am, only house 2 miles down a dirt road off the highway at the end of the road. No one has found it, yet. :rolleyes: Well, we finally found an electric company to hook us up that has serviced the house for the previous owners. LOL Suffice to say, when I get there, I'll be able to shoot my BP stuff on my own range whenever I want. :D THAT will be way cool. I might have to get me some 2F for my CVA caplock rifle. I like shooting PRBs in that gun. :D
Oh, and I'll have some acreage with the house and the woods are infested with hogs and deer. :D
