died in Indiana in 1883 and her mother had preceded him some time. Mr. Putnam has held various offices of trust in the township and is quite well known throughout the county.
JOHN WOLF was born near Iowa City, Johnson county, Iowa, November 13, 1855. His father, John D. Wolf was born in Germany in 1815. He came to America at the age of twenty-two, served in the United States army in the war with Mexico, and then made a tour of the Eastern, Western and Southern states before deciding to locate permanently at any place. He finally settled in Johnson county, Iowa, and engaged in agricultural pursuits. During his residence in Iowa, he took considerable interest in local affairs and filled various local offices with credit. He immigrated to Buffalo county, Nebr., in 1880, and settled in Thornton township. He married Catherine Brunner in 1853. She was a native of France, having been born near Strassburg, but came to America when a young woman. Seven children were born to them, of whom John, the subject of this sketch, was the second. John Wolf remained on his father's farm in Iowa until twenty-three years of age, when he emigrated to Buffalo county, Nebr., in company with four other young men, former neighbors. All except one settled in this county. Mr. Wolf purchased railroad land in Thornton township and began life's battle in earnest. At that time the country thereabouts was sparsely settled, there being only two houses in sight. He built a sod house, which served his purpose until 1886, when it was superseded by a modern frame building. He now has one hundred and twenty acres of well-improved land about eight miles north of Kearney.
Mr. Wolf was married, November 29, 1880, to Miss Maggie Henderson, who was born in Illinois October 2, 1865. Her parents were Abraham and Elenor (Rough) Henderson, natives of Illinois. They emigrated to Missouri, and in 1872 came to Nebraska, settling in Centre township, this county. Mr. Henderson was a farmer by occupation, and both he and his wife were devoted members of the Presbyterian church. Mr. Henderson died December 24, 1878.
Three children now bless the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wolf, namely - Ida M., born May 24, 1882; Lillie K., born November 11, 1885, and Nettie E., born October 22, 1887. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wolf are members of the German Lutheran church. Mr. Wolf has held various important township offices, and always affiliates with the democratic party.
NATHAN P. McDONALD. Although Mr. McDonald has been a resident of Buffalo county only since 1887, he has succeeded in making himself sufficiently prominent to deserve mention in the county's biographical souvenir. He is a son of Donald and Arcelia (Badgley) McDonald. The former, a native of Scotland, was born in 1830, and came to America when he was about twenty-five years of age. In 1860, he was married to Mrs. Badgley, a widow lady, having two sons, viz. - Levant, who is now
clerk of the district court in Pattawatomie county, Kans., and John, now principal of the public schools of Kimball, Nebr. To Mr. and Mrs. McDonald were born two sons, Nathan P. and Lemont. The paternal grandfather was Duncan McDonald, a native of Scotland, and the maternal grandparents were Lyman and Amy (Alby) Calkins.
The subject of this memoir was born near Columbus, Warren county, Pa., in 1862. Living on a farm, he had the early training of industry and economy incident to thrifty farming with moderate means. His education during boyhood was acquired in the district school, where he was always among the best of his class. When sixteen years of age, he accepted a position as clerk in a store, which position he held for two and a half years, always enjoying the confidence and esteem of his employer. Mr. McDonald left the store to extend his education. Two years having been passed in the city school of Corry, Pa., and one year at Sugar Grove Seminary, Pa., he decided to go to college. This was a difficult task, as he was depending entirely upon his own resources to provide means. By dint of economy and strict frugality, he maintained himself two years in a classical course in Otterbein university at Westerville, Ohio. While in college, Mr. McDonald was a close student, and carried a high grade of scholarship. He took special interest in literary work, and was a prominent member of the Philophronean Literary Society of that institution. Circumstances over which he had no control compelled Mr. McDonald to abandon his hope of completing the two remaining years of his college course. He came West in December of 1886, and engaged in teaching near Louisville, in Kansas. From there he came to Elm Creek, Nebr., where he engaged as principal of the Elm Creek school. He has proven himself a successful teacher, and a popular gentleman, in every way worthy of the confidence of the people. Being a republican, he was the choice of that party for the office of county superintendent of public instruction, of Buffalo county, in the election of 1889. This position he now holds.
In 1858, Mr. McDonald was united in marriage to Miss Ella Upton, of Kearney, Rev. Leslie Stephens officiating. Mrs. McDonald is a native of Illinois, born in Olney, Richland county. In 1875, she, with her parents, moved to Roanoke, Woodford county, and in 1887 she moved to Kearney, Nebr. Mrs. McDonald is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. One child, Archie, born in 1889, makes music in their home.
JAMES M. SMITH, son of Andrew and Selenor (Mackley) Smith, was born in Jackson county, Ohio, October 9, 1839. His father was born in Kentucky in 1811, and emigrated to Jackson county, Ohio, early in life. In 1842 he moved to Indiana, and in 1845 emigrated to Iowa, where he engaged in farming. He came to Buffalo county, Nebr., in 1882, where he has since resided. He has been an active member of the United Brethren church for fifty years. His father was a native of South Carolina and was of Irish descent. He died in 1850. The maternal grandfather, John Mackley, was born in Virginia and was of Dutch descent.
He also died in 1850. His wife was a Pennsylvanian by birth, and died in 1842. James M. Smith was a strong Union man during the dark days of the rebellion, and enlisted November 2, 1864, in the Thirteenth regiment, Iowa infantry, and went immediately to the front. He participated in the battle of Nashville, and also in the terrible struggle at Decatur, Ala. He served under Gen. Thomas during most of his service and was mustered out at Davenport, Iowa, June 20, 1865. After he returned from the service he continued to farm in Iowa for ten years, then emigrated to Buffalo county, Nebr., in 1874, and took a homestead in the southern part of Thornton township, built a sod house and began breaking sod preparatory to planting his first crop. The country was or seemed like, one vast barren waste, inhabited only by wild beasts; antelope and deer were plenty, and one only had to go a short distance north of where Mr. Smith now resides to see herds of elk. The first year he planted considerable corn and had splendid prospects for a crop, but the grasshoppers came along by and by and soon destroyed every hope of raising any corn that year. Mr. Smith, however was not discouraged and the year following planted and succeeded in raising a good crop. His experience the third year, however, was simply a repetition of he first his entire prospect of a crop being destroyed by the grasshoppers. Even this did not wholly discourage him, for he had great faith in the future of the country and was determined to stay and give it another trial. He did so and has never experienced a failure of crop since. He was formerly the owner of two hundred and forty acres of choice land, but has just presented each of his sons with a deed for eighty acres. Mr. Smith was elected supervisor of Thornton township in 1888 and filled the office with entire satisfaction to all his constituents. Mr. Smith was united in marriage, September 27, 1862, to Miss Nancy Hendrickson. There were born to this union five children, namely - Minnie May, born July 27, 1863 (deceased); John J., born May 20, 1866 ; Andrew, born December 16, 1869 (married Hattie Carter); Maud, born March 6, 1872 (wife of Presley Clark), and Bertha Viola, born Sept. 11, 1876. Both Mr. and Mrs. Smith are active and devoted members of the United Brethren church.
CHARLES H. DOW, SR., farmer of Schneider township, Buffalo county, Nebr., was born in Clark county, Ind., February 17, 1828. His father, Nathan Dow, was a native of Connecticut, who was born in 1807 and died in 1842, having passed a quiet and. industrious life as a weaver and farmer. He married Matilda Robertson, who was born in Virginia in 1812. In politics Nathan Dow was a whig and in religion a Carmelite. The grandfather of Chas. H. Dow, Sr., was named Henry; he was born in 1755, was a manufacturer of woolen goods, and also served as a captain in the war of 1812. His death took place in 1843.
Charles H. Dow, Sr. began attending school at the age of four years and at the age of eight was removed to Morgan county, Ind., where he lived for eighteen years, engaged in blacksmithing and farm-
ing; he then moved to Owen county, Ind., where he continued to follow the vocation of blacksmith. August, 1862, he enlisted in Company D, Fifty-ninth Indiana volunteers, and served at Corinth, Ft. Gibson, Raymond, Jackson, Champlain hills, Edward's station and Vicksburg, and at the last named place was attacked with a protracted sickness. On his recovery he rejoined his command at Huntsville, Ala., thence he went to Atlanta, and at the fall of that city followed Sherman to the sea. His last action was at Bentonville, N. C., March 19 to 21, 1865, and his discharge took place at Washington, D. C., May 31, 1865.
August 14, 1851, Mr. Dow married Lecena Porter, and to this union have been born thirteen children viz. - Christiana J., Martha E., Thomas F., Charles H., Pressa M., Sarah M. (deceased), William S., Saletha A., Mary E., David B., Lorena A., Lily L., and Annie M. (deceased). Mr. Dow is a consistent member of the Methodist church ; he is a member of Owen Lodge, 263, A. F. and A. M., Owen county, Ind., and of the G. A. R.
JAMES THOMAS was born June 18, 1815, and is a son of Michard and Barbara (Shedron) Thomas, the former of whom, a wagon-maker by trade, was born and reared in Adams county, Pa., but emigrated to Stark county, Ohio, when a young man, where he lived until he died. There were nine children in the family, of whom James, the subject of this sketch, was the sixth. He was cast out among strangers, when a small boy, to make his way through the world. At the age of eighteen he began an apprenticeship as a carpenter, and afterwards followed mill-wrighting. Wages in those days, even for skilled mechanics, were small in comparison with what they are now. After he had learned his trade he worked a long time as a journeyman receiving but $10.00 per month, and never received to exceed $1.25 per day. In 1840 he moved to Williams county, Ohio, where he found employment as a mill-wright. He would work all day, then walk two miles to his home and work until a late hour at night clearing ground to raise his crop. He emigrated to Buffalo county, Nebr., in the spring of 1873 and settled on a homestead in Thornton township, where he built a small sod house and began to break prairie for his crop. He went to Gibbon on an errand one day soon after his arrival in the new country, and on his return home his team drowned while attempting to cross Wood river. The bridge gave way, the water being so high at the time. This was indeed a sad misfortune to him, for the loss of a team at that time meant a good deal. There was no settlement at all in the vicinity where he lived and wild game was plenty all about him. He has seen as many as five hundred elk in a drove along the Loup river and has killed many a one. He has hauled fuel for twentv miles and was a sufferer on account of the grasshopper raids in 1874 and 1876, and thinks the chintz bugs were brought to this country by the grasshoppers. He has always had great faith in the future development of this country and its bright future when he first settled here. His wife was a daughter of Daniel Strong a native of Connecticut. He emigrated to
Ohio and later to De Kalb county, Ind., where he was struck by a falling tree several years afterwards and killed. Mrs. Thomas now resides with her son, Sheldon B., who is an honest hardworking young man.

J. S. HARRINGTON, merchant and real estate dealer of Kearney, Buffalo county, is an old settler and prominent business man of his locality. He settled in Buffalo county in 1872, and has resided in that county and the city of Kearney since, and during all those years has been actively identified with the best interests of his adopted home and community. Mr. Harrington is a native of Vermont, having been born at Hyde Park, in the "Green Mountain" State, March 26, 1842. He comes of New England parentage, his father and mother both being Vermonters also by birth. His father, Elisha Harrington, was born and reared in Middlesex, Vt., and passed all his years in his native place, being an industrious, useful and highly respected farmer. His mother, Hannah Wisnall, also lived and died there.
The subject of this sketch is the second of three children born to his parents. He was reared in his native place, and received a good common-school education in the schools of Hyde Park, finishing with a course of three terms at the Morrisville academy, at Morrisville, Vt. In May, 1861, at the age of nineteen, he entered the Union army, enlisting in Company E, Third Vermont infantry. He belonged to one of the "Three Hundred Fighting Regiments" of the Union army and saw much service in the field. His regiment left the state in the fall of 1861 and moved at once to the front. On April 16, 1862, occurred the remarkable action at Lee's Mills, on the Warwick river, one of the defenses of Yorktown. Four companies of the Third - D, E, F and K - forded the stream in the face of the enemy, with a view of making a reconnaissance in force. Through mismanagement and lack of support they were driven back, with a loss of eighty-nine killed and wounded out of the one hundred and ninety-two officers and men that crossed. The detachment was ably commanded by Capt. Samuel E. Pingree, who was wounded twice during the fight. The regiment crossed the Rapidan May 4, 1864, with about six hundred effectives, under command of Colonel Seaver. On the following day, in the battle of the Wilderness, it lost thirty-eight killed, one hundred and sixty-seven wounded, and six missing ; total, two hundred and eleven. At Spottsylvania it lost twenty-one killed and fifty-three wounded. At Cold Harbor the gallant Seaver, who commanded the regiment at Marye's Heights, and in most all its battles, again led them in a bloody assault, and, though there were less than three hundred in line there, the casualties were fourteen killed, fifty-three wounded and five missing. On July 16, 1864, the remnant of the regiment was mustered out, the recruits and re-enlisted men having been consolidated into a battalion of six companies, which remained in the field. The regiment participated in eighteen of the leading battles of the war, and was present also at ten other principal engagements. Out of an enlistment of seventeen hundred and forty-eight it lost
six hundred and seventy-nine in killed and wounded.
At the battle of the Wilderness Mr. Harrington received a severe wound and being disabled from active service in the field was place on hospital duty at Montpelier, Vt., and continued there until peace was declared. At the close of the war he, purchasing a farm near Montpelier, settled down to the peaceful pursuit of agriculture. In 1869 he decided to immigrate West and at that date moved to Iowa and settled in the town of Red Oak, where he was alternately engaged in farming, butchering and merchandising. In 1872 he moved to Nebraska and settled in Buffalo county, taking a homestead of 160 acres seven miles northeast of Kearney. Remaining there one year he moved into Kearney and began to invest in real estate. Recently, in 1887, he opened a mercantile establishment in Kearney, since which time his interests have been real estate and merchandising combined. He is known to be one of the heaviest investors in real estate in the city of Kearney, and has probably erected more buildings than any other one man in the city. He has been actively identified with many of the leading enterprises that have sought favor in his community, and he has given liberally of his means towards their support and encouragement. He is a man who believes in growth and development and he has attested his faith by his acts. His career has been that of a business man strictly, and he is an indefatigable worker. He has never aspired to any public position; and with the exception of the position of city councilman, he has never held any public office.
Mr. Harrington married in 1866, the lady whom he selected to share fortunes being Miss Sarah A. Eastman; a native of New Hampshire, and like himself a descendant of old New England stock; Four children have been born to this union - Francis L., a leading hardware merchant of Kearney; Clarence Eugene, a merchant at Stanley, Buffalo county ; Wilbur J.; clerk in his father's store, and Elmer E.
In politics Mr. Harrington is independent, reserving the right to vote for men and measures according to their merits.
JAMES GASS first saw the light of day in New Brunswick, Canada, January 25, 1855, and is the son of Joseph and Isabella (Hannah) Gass, both of whom were born in Scotland, were married in Scotland, and came to America in 1850. They came to Nebraska in 1873 and were among the first settlers in Thornton township, Buffalo county. James Gass was twenty-three years old when he took up a claim in Thornton township. The country was very new and wild game was plenty, especially antelope, elk and deer, and he has seen a few wild horses and hundreds of Indians since his residence here. The settlers in those days were few and far between and the prairie was bare, except in the draws. As civilization advanced rain began to fall more evenly and the soil retained moisture better as it began to be cultivated. The climate has changed materially and grass grows much more profusely now than it did several years ago. During the grasshopper raid Mr. Gass did not leave,
as many others did, but concluded to stay as long as he could succeed in getting enough to eat. He made up his mind that he could stay on the money it would require to get away on. The first election young Gass attended in this county was at Buda, in the fall of 1876. There were no township organizations then - only precincts. There were only a few voters, and a few came the day before and camped out over night. They had too far to come to make the trip in one day. He herded cattle a great deal in an early day in the summer, and hunted in the autumn and trapped beaver in the winter. His territory extended along the South Loup and Dismal for over one hundred miles northwest. He has been out all alone from August until November, and would only see two or three men in that time. He is the first son of a family of nine children, the others being Rachel, Jane, Mary, Nicholas, Thomas, Joseph, Hannah and Nettie. He has one hundred and sixty acres of land under a fair state of cultivation and he has always succeeded in raising good crops excepting two seasons.
OSCAR F. HAMILTON was born in Portage county, Ohio, June 8, 1845, and is the son of Andrew and Eliza (Mott) Hamilton, both of whom were natives of Pennsylvania. His father was an iron worker and worked in the rolling mills at Youngstown, Ohio. When the rebellion threatened the life of the country he immediately enlisted and served through the war. His mother was a daughter of Elijah Mott, who was the first settler in Deerfield township, Portage county, Ohio. He died about 1842.
Oscar F. Hamilton was but a boy when he enlisted, October 15, 1801, in the Tenth Ohio cavalry. He participated in the battles of Stone river, Chickamauga and Resaca, and followed Sherman to the sea and back through the Carolinas to the surrender at Greensboro, N. C. He was mustered out July 4, 1865, but re-enlisted in the regular army in the spring of 1866 and walked from Leavenworth, Kans., via Ft. Kearney, to Montana. He helped establish Ft. Reno, Ft. Phil Kearney and Ft. C. F. Smith. During his service in the regular army he experienced several thrilling episodes while on the western frontier. He relates one incident especially worthy of note, which happened near Ft. Phil Kearney in Montana. It was on the ninth of September, 1866, when about four hundred regulars were encamped in Ft. Phil Kearney. Young Hamilton, with a party of soldiers, was sent to the timber about nine miles distant to cut logs to be used in completing the fort. The first thing they did was to erect a small log shanty in which they could lodge during the night. They knew, of course, that there were Indians in the country, but they did not suspect that they were in any immediate danger of being molested by them. However, they took the precaution of carefully stopping every hole about the walls of their cabin, in order that no light from the fire within might penetrate the darkness without and disclose their whereabouts to outside intruders. One evening just after they had retired for the night, they were suddenly startled by a
shot from without. Although one of the boys had been severely wounded in the heel, he did not make the fact known to his comrades, but they at once suspected that their cabin was surrounded by the red skins. A kettle of water was dashed on the fire by one of the boys, while the others grabbed their guns and stationed themselves at the four port holes. Nothing could be seen until the Indians began to shoot lighted arrows of pine-pitch in order to set fire to the shanty. Whenever an Indian would shoot, thereby disclosing his location, the boys inside the shanty would shoot in that direction. The Indians were unsuccessful in their attempts to set fire to the shanty, but the firing was kept up between them for some time.
When morning came Mr. Hamilton and a comrade volunteered to go out for water, which they had been in the habit of getting from a small creek near by. When they emerged from the shanty no Indians were in sight, so they proceeded to procure their kettle of water, while the few soldiers engaged in hauling the logs to the fort arrived, and while the awful experience of the night before was being discussed by the small group standing about the cabin, about sixty Indians emerged from a thicket near by and killed and scalped two soldiers who had just commenced to cut down a tree within a few yards of the shanty. Before the soldiers could recover from their surprise, the wily Indians had disappeared in the woods. It was supposed that they concealed themselves in the bushes the previous night and were awaiting a favorable opportunity to commit their murderous acts.
Oscar F. Hamilton left the regular army, March 8, 1869, and was married July 17, 1870, at Three Oaks, Mich., to Charlotte Smith. She was born in Portage county, Ohio, June 9, 1841, and the daughter of Noah and Rebecca Smith, both of whom were natives of Ohio. This union was blessed by the birth of three children - Nettie (deceased), Frank (deceased), and Ella.
Mr. Hamilton came to Buffalo county, Nebr., October 8, 1873, and took up a homestead adjoining the present town of Armada. He was one of the first to settle in that locality and has been identified with every step of the wonderful progress made since. He laid out the present town of Armada and is doing as much as any other one man in furthering the growth and development of the town. He has been justice of the peace for several years and served as postmaster of Armada during Cleveland's administration.
JAMES K. SMITH was born in Coshocton county, Ohio, August 26, 1849, and is the son of Eli and Catherine (Hastings) Smith, both of whom were Pennsylvanians by birth.
Eli Smith came to Ohio with his parents when a lad, and remained with them until he was married. In 1856 he moved to McDonald county, Ill., where he died in 1878. He was a farmer and a highly respected and influential man in the community where he lived. He was a justice of the peace for several years, and he and his faithful wife were members of the Methodist church.
James K. Smith was only nineteen years of age when he joined a company of Illinois
volunteers in August, 1861. He was a gallant young soldier, and faced the enemy at the battles at Fort Donelson, Fort Henry and Pittsburg Landing. He was wounded five times in the last named battle, and was taken to the hospital at Savannah, and from there to Marietta, Ohio, and thence to St. Louis, where he received his discharge November 1, 1863. After he had sufficiently recovered from the effects of his wounds he spent two years in school at Prairie City, Ill. He then engaged in the marble business for four years, during which he had remarkable success. In 1869 he located at West Liberty, Iowa, and engaged in raising Osage orange for hedges. He planted and cultivated the first nursery in the state. After successfully prosecuting this business for four years he retired, and engaged in farming for several years. He conducted a hotel at Tipton, Iowa, for three years, and in the spring of 1885 he came to Buffalo county, Nebr., and took a soldier's claim in the Wild Horse valley. He moved to Armada, Nebr., in the fall of 1888, and erected a hotel, which he is now conducting with splendid success.
He was married, March 18, 1869, to Sarah Dickerson, of West Liberty, Iowa. They had four children - Linie L., Annie, Willie and Clara. She was born in Ohio and died in 1878.
He was next married, May 7, 1882, to Mary A. Linn. She was born in Iowa May 7, 1853. Her father was born in Tennessee and her mother in South Carolina. Her grandparents on both sides were large slave owners, and had large plantations in the South.
Mr. Smith is a member of the Masons, Odd Fellows and of the G. A. R.
BRINTON F. HARBAUGH was born in Hamilton county, Ind., March 28, 1854, and is the son of Samuel and Amelia (Seaman) Harbaugh. His father was born in Kentucky in 1808, but was reared in Ohio. In 1833 he moved to Indiana and in 1875 came to Nebraska. He was a wagon-maker by trade and was a soldier in the Black Hawk war. He has several times been elected justice of the peace and is a respected member of the Christian church.
B. F. Harbaugh learned the wagon-maker's trade with his father, while a resident of Indiana. Being an industrious young man he concluded to accept the advice of that revered journalist, Horace Greeley, and go West. The spring of 1873 found him in Kearney, then a mere hamlet on the frontier. He followed the Wood river as far west as the present village of Armada, where he filed a soldier's declaratory claim to a quarter section for his brother and held it down for six months, when he purchased it for himself. He built a sod house and survived the grasshopper raid, but witnessed great suffering among settlers in those dark days. There were few ways of earning money then and many had to resort to hunting and trapping to gain a livelihood. In 1885 he moved to Armada and engaged in the implement business, which he continued for about three years. Mr. Harbaugh is now justice of the peace for Armada township, and has held various other local offices. He is a young man of excellent habits and of exceptional ability, and has a bright future before him. He manifests a deep interest in the rapid development of Armada and the surrounding country, and is confident that at no
distant day the success of the town will be assured. He was married November 1, 1882, to Miss Judy Burt. They have two children - Georgie, born August 17, 1883, and Annie, born November 21, 1884. Mrs. Harbaugh was born June 15, 1861, and is the daughter of Arthur F. and Elizabeth (Campbell) Burt.
JAMES M. FRANTZ was born at New Lexington. Perry county, Ohio, February 21, 1835, and is the son of William and Nancy (Rush) Frantz. His father was born in Somerset county, Pa., April 8, 1808. At the age of twenty he moved to Perry county, Ohio, where he met and married Miss Nancy Rush three years later. William Frantz was a farmer by occupation and lived in Perry county until 1867, when he removed to Warren county, Ill., where he died in 1867. His wife died in 1875.
The paternal grandfather of the subject of this sketch was John Frantz, who was a Pennsylvanian by birth, and Samuel Rush, the maternal grandparent, was a native of Pennsylvania, and a captain in the war of 1812.
James M. Frantz was the eldest of a family of nine children, and at twenty-one went to Warren county, Ill., where he followed agricultural pursuits for a few years. He also spent several years in various mercantile pursuits. In 1873, he emigrated to Kearney, Nebr., and engaged in the drug business. The present lively young city of Kearney was then a mere frontier hamlet with only two or three hundred inhabitants. During the terrible blizzard on April 8, 1873, Mr. Frantz was there keeping a drug store and living in the upper story. The storm raged so fiercely that he did not come down stairs to open his store for three days. There were several car loads of cattle and hogs snow bound on the side tracks that actually perished. After the storm had passed over, the cars were emptied, and the dead stock hauled some distance south of town, where a good portion was consumed by a band of Pawnee Indians. During Mr. Frantz's residence in Kearney, he purchased and shipped fifty car loads of buffalo bones. A great many settlers, for want of other employment, would gather buffalo bones from the prairie and market them to get money to supply themselves with the necessaries of life. He witnessed the trouble with the drunken cowboys in Kearney, in 1874, and saw two of them shot on their horses by village officials.
James M. Frantz was married, January 31, 1861, to Miss Mary A. Campbell. The five children born of this union are named Canzada, Mina, Areta, Harry and Charlie.
Mrs. Frantz was born in Fayette county, Pa., June 28, 1842, and is the daughter of James M. and Jane N. (Smiler) Campbell, both of whom were natives of Pennsylvania. They emigrated to Illinois in 1853, and engaged in agricultural pursuits. Her mother died in 1875 and her father in 1889. Mr. Frantz is now in the drug business in the flourishing little town of Armada, Nebr., and is meeting with splendid success. He is a prominent member of the masonic fraternity, and both he and his estimable wife belong to the Christian church.

Pro Continuation of KiloBolt's game development tutorials
"The Beginner's Guide to Android Game Development" was written by the author of KiloBolt's game development tutorials: James S Cho. The book is simply a more comprehensive and up-to-date version of the online tutorials.

Cho's book was recently released on July 28, 2014. As a result his explanations and tutorials are some of the most up to date and reliable.
Pro Starts from the basics
The KiloBolt Android game development course starts from the very beginning; explaining what Java is and how to set up your own "development machine.". This makes KiloBolt perfect for any beginner. If you aren't a beginner then you can easily skip ahead with the table of contents.
Pro Free
All tutorials from KiloBolt are free. KiloBolt supports the site with advertisements and donations from users.
Con No longer supported
The KiloBolt game development tutorial is over two years old and as a result is no longer supported or updated by KiloBolt. If you run into some issues with the tutorials, KiloBolt forum members may help you but only on their own.
Pro Plenty of visuals
The Tutorials from Java Code Geeks include plenty of pictures and diagrams to further explain the concepts.
Pro Comments from other readers
The format of the tutorials on Java Code Geeks' website allows for comments from other readers. This is a substantial advantage compared to books or other websites because users can respond with issues, better solutions, and improved explanations to make a better overall tutorial.
Con Skips the basics
The tutorials from Java Code Geeks skip the basics and heads straight to the details. If you are a true beginner then this may not be the best place to start but for some this may not be a problem at all.
Pro Up-to-date and official information
The information on Google's Android Developer Training is always up-to-date and reliable.
Pro Lessons for specific parts of Android
Google offers lessons for Android developers such as supporting different devices with different screen sizes, languages, or different platform versions.
Con Limited game specific help
The Android Developer Training is more focused on providing help and information to Android application developers than Android game developers. Of course there are still some shared issues between applications and games such as device support that are discussed on Google's Android Developer T...
Pro Useful tips for successful game development
This article from Infrared5's blog provides well thought out insight on how to design an addicting and successful Android game.

Pro Forum to request sounds
There is a freesound.org forum where not only can you talk about freesound.org but you can make sound requests of any type.
Pro Plenty of game specific information
"Beginning Android Games" by Mario Zechner is not perfect for developers more interested in Android applications but for developers interested in Android game development it is perfect. The information is specific and detailed.
Con Starts off readers learning Android 1.5
One of the problems with this book is that not only is it two years old but it teaches its readers to code for the oldest and rarest versions of Android first when it may be simpler to learn the updated and improved more recent versions of Android.
Con Some programming knowledge needed before reading
"Beginning Android Games" skips the basics of programming that some may want if they have limited programming experience.

Bucs DE Gaines Adams (ankle) questionable for Sunday's game
Why mess with success?
For the second straight week, defensive end Gaines Adams is listed as questionable and may be a game-time decision. Adams, who suffered an ankle injury in practice Wednesday, missed practice Wednesday and Thursday and was limited to a walk-through Friday.
Last week, Adams missed several practices with a groin strain and wound up having his best game of the season with a sack, fumble recovery and pass defensed.
"(Last week), I was thinking he could go out there, start the game and hopefully get him in on some pass rushing downs,'' Morris siad of Adams. "He ended up starting the game and playing really strong. Then there was a point when you're looking at him saying..."is he okay?' But he fared well, so I kind of have that same mentality this week.''
Adams said he was improving.
"For the most part, I'm feeling real good and looking forward to playing on Sunday,'' Adams said. "(Last week), it was just a decision I had to make and at this point in time of our season, it was something I had to do. It was unfortunate because as a defense we played pretty good. Obviously, we've got a lot more room for improvement and we've just got to find a way to get a win.''
Adams was limited today but several players returned, including running back Earnest Graham (hamstring) and cornerback Torrie Cox. WR Antonio Bryant (knee) also able to participate in the walk-through and expected to play Sunday at Philadelphia.
The only players ruled out: center Jeff Faine (triceps) and defensive end Kyle Moore (knee).

" Brand: Marks and Spencer / Type: Overnight bag / Cabin bag "
I've just recently bought this overnight bag from Marks & Spencers. The colour that I have is a patent black colour, other than the colour though the design of the bag is exactly the same as pictured above.
The full price of the bag was £89.00, however I paid less than this as there was 20% off at the time, taking the bag down to £71.00, I also had a £50.00 M&S gift card, so I felt like I only paid around £21.00 for it.
The overnight bag is a patent leather, and as I mentioned I have it in black. It looks really quite classy and sleek in the patent black, and it basically goes with anything. The patent leather is gorgeously shiny and glossy, and it looks and feels irresistibly luxurious. It definately looks like an expensive overnight bag, it doesn't look cheap at all. The leather is not as hard as you would expect for patent leather, it's not a super soft leather at all, but it's not hard and rigid either.
The overnight bag is a boxy shape, a bit like a squared off triangle I guess, the bottom of the bag is larger and wider than the top of the bag. It has two sturdy handles on the top, the handles are suitable for either carrying the bag by hand, or hooking it over your shoulder. I always tend to hook it over my shoulder, and it's really comfortable to carry like this. The handles are just long enough for the bag to sit snuggly under your arm and not hang down and bang about as you are carrying it.
The overnight bag is a perfect size for a overnight stay, you can get everything that you could possibly need in here and then also use this as your handbag as well. It's not too big that it looks out of place doing so. I also find that this works well for a weekend away, you do need to pack carefully if you want to get everything for a weekend away in here, and I always find that I definately do need to take a seperate handbag as well. I would say that a weekends worth of stuff is definately the bags limits, if you are going away for 4 or 5 days or more then this bag won't cut it.
This is a perfect size as a carry on for any airline, it will easily fit in the overhead lockers, it isn't too big and bulky.
The bag stands on four little metal studded feet so that the bottom of it doesn't get damaged when you stand it on the floor. The bag is lined with a bright purple polyester lining which is wipe clean should anything leak onto it. My lining does have a couple of stains on it from leaking toiletries but the polyester lining seems to be fairly waterproof as the stains haven't seaped through to the leather itself. The bag closes with a double zipper which is good quality and fairly sturdy, I've packed the bag full to bursting and had to virtually weld it shut, and the zippers still work perfectly fine and haven't given out.
The bag has quite a few extra pockets or sections which I like, it has a zippered pocket on the front of the bag, it has a zippered internal pocket, and it has a slip in section on the back of the bag. All of the pockets or sections are also lined with the bright purple polyester lining.
The patent leather itself is wipe clean, I've spilt a latte on it, and basically just wiped it over with a tissue and then a wet one and it's absolutely fine. I have been careful on the whole with my bag, and as such there's not any scratches or marks on it. I am slightly wary as to how well the patent leather will stand up in the long term, as I know patent can show scratches easily, but so far it seems to be really good quality patent leather and looks like it will last a good while.
The bag comes with a padlock and key which I don't tend to need as I wouldn't ever leave it anywhere unattended, but I guess that it's handy to have. It also comes with a black patent leather luggage tag attached to one of the handles, I've taken this off as again it's something I don't need. I'll probably end up using the luggage tag on a suitcase instead.
I would definately reccomend this overnight bag to anyone, yes it is expensive, but it is very good quality and it looks really stunning as well, if you look after it, it should last you for years and years to come.
I've only given it 4 stars due to the high price, if it had been cheaper it would be 5 stars no question.
Marks & Spencer Leather Boxy Faux Snakeskin Overnight Bag
I love getting away for the weekend and I try to abandon my husband at least once every couple of months for a girlie weekend away with my friends. I wanted a bad that would fit everything I needed for a couple of nights but look nice while doing it. I often take the train and I wanted to be able to walk off that and go straight for cocktails and dinner without having an unattractive back pack or small suitcase to worry about.
This bag looks great, it is made from genuine leather in a snakeskin design. I chose to buy this in a grey colour, it was also available in a really nice purple. I decided to go with the grey because I thought that it would match more of the jackets and things that I own. The grey is a really nice shade and because of the snakeskin design there is a lot of variations and tones of greys rather than just being a block of colour.
This bag comes with one main compartment, which is accessible by the main zip and it is a large compartment. According to Marks and Spencer's this bag will hold 29 litres, which is an odd measurement for clothes. I have found that this was more than adequate for storing all the clothes, make- up and other bits that I would need for a typical weekend away. There is also one zipped pocked in the inside of the bag, which is also made from polyester so is pretty durable and won't mark too easily.
There are also two external side pockets, which are handy for storing any tickets or some spare money for those quick cups of coffee or any other treats on the go. To be specific there is one smaller zipped pocket and a tall rather spacious side pocket that doesn't have a zip or any seal. Between these two pockets there is more than enough room to store all the basic handbag essentials, keys, purse, lip gloss, etc. Also as you would expect from luggage this comes with a snakeskin matching leather address clip as well as a padlock and key for the main zip compartment.
Marks and Spencer's have put a lot of effort into making this a great bag and small features such as studs on the bottom of the bag make this ideal for travel. When I have a heavy bag I am always putting it down whenever the opportunity arises and having some small studs on the bottom makes this great for putting it on the ground without worrying that the bottom will get ruined. The bag is also pretty sturdy and even when it is full it retains its overall shape really well.
If I had one complaint about this bag it would be that the straps are maybe a fraction small. In summer there won't be any problem as there is enough room to easily sling this over my shoulder when I am just wearing a cardigan or light jacket. However, when I was wearing my winter jacket and the arms are much heavier and bigger I have to tug the bag and straps into place rather than it just gliding up my arm.
This bag wasn't cheap, I paid £99 for this a couple of months before Christmas. Generally, although this is expensive I believe that it is good value for money as it is very well made from quality materials. I don't doubt that this bag will last me for a good long time yet to come.
Personally, I think that this is a great little weekend away bag and I believe that it deserves well earned four out of five stars.

My husband has no sympathy
I just don't understand how someone can not feel an ounce of sympathy for these people. If you don't want to watch the news coverage, fine, but making fun of the victims is taking it WAY too far.
Quoting nelliesmommy:
Your husband is sick. A child was killed.
Quoting AliKatAK47:
He has a morbid sense of humor. You married him knowing that. Its not that he has no sympathy. He just doesn't show it like you do.
Quoting Anonymous:
I get that. They interrupted my general hospital too :-/ If he's annoyed by the news coverage I understand, but the jokes are unnecessary.
Quoting AliKatAK47:
I am sorry but I am quite tired of the coverage being on every channel all the time as well. I actually did want to watch Jeopardy today. I wanted to get my 70 year old lady on but the coverage cancelled it. It was sad but playing it over and over again isn't making it less sad.
Sounds like my sons...although being kids it's different perhaps. They are not upset by the news. Idk what ds9 knows but ds12 knows about the bombing. He isn't joking about it though. Maybe the others are right and it is your dh's way of coping. Ds12 is very matter of fact...he was like that when we had gun threats after Sandy Hook and he'd tell me about the drills they did. I don't think that means he isn't afraid. I think he acts silly, boasts, and plays video games to deal with his fear is all. Idk ds9 knows about Boston much although he knew about Sandy Hook. I told him...but he says even less than his brother about what bothers him. I have to pry things out of him. I don't have the news on for them to see so I think in part they aren't upset because they aren't watching.
I'd probably say something "Dude don't make those jokes around me...they really bother me...or something.
Quoting Anonymous:
Upsetting news never bothers him. If it doesn't directly affect him, he doesn't care.
If someone close to him dies, he can't cope. He's literally inconsolable.
Quoting Anonymous:
How does he normally handle upseting news? How does he handle deaths in the family? How does he expres other emotions?
My husband handles this by being alone fixing something.
Quoting Anonymous:
I guess it's possible. It just really upsets me to hear him talking like that.
Quoting Anonymous:
Is it possible that jokes are his way of coping with his emtions? Men are not always good with expressing themselves the way we think they should.
Quoting Anonymous:I agree. it's sad regardless. A young women died too.
People were killed. Not to point out your reply directly but i always wonder why it makes it more tragic because its a child. And I always see people say this when children die. Would it be less tragic if the lives lost were all teens or adults?
Quoting nelliesmommy:
Your husband is sick. A child was killed.
Not in this case though.
I'm not unsympathetic but I'm not all over it either. I stay to my own things, feel some sympathy for the victims, disgust at the perpetrators, and grief for those emotionally involved...but it's all in passing.
If I got attached to every moving scenario, I'd be a habitual basket case.
I can't even make it through most Disney movies without tearing up. Wreck It Ralph...The Odd Life of Timothy Green...my SO always glances at me when there's a moment he knows I'm tearing up and tells me "I knew it!" and pokes me.
Now...with Sandy Hook...I was furious. Like 'kick some shit around and let's go ruthlessly torture that sorry sack of sh** in a twisted drawn out way' kind of furious.
With this...it's like...:sigh: "Wtf is going on anymore?" with only a mild awareness of the victims or desire to focus on it.
Basically, it gets so overwhelming and it doesn't feel like fixating on it solves anything for anyone...it just makes you sad...and angry. With no way to really reasonably act on it. So you shut it out.
Some of us are just wired this way.
Idk if he's the same, but for me, I'm not unsympathetic in general...just on things I feel helpless about.
Usually I'm very sympathetic, emotional, loving and concerned.
But this, I know enough are worried and upset by it, one less distraught person causes no harm and saves me wasted tears.
Of course, if someone close to him dies and he doesn't care and makes a joke, then I might worry. Still, it just might be how he copes.
Quoting Anonymous:
Quoting LiesLiesLies:
Some people separate themselves from tragedy so they DON'T feel. Because when they do its too overwhelming.
I understand people do that, and that's okay, but I don't see the point in adding to it and making jokes.
People react in different ways. Perhaps his indifference and cruel jokes are his way of trying to process it?
Men in our society struggle to display such complex emotions as grief, shock, vulnerability, etc. They are supposed to be strong, they are supposed to fix the problems.
Maybe next time he makes a joke or says something cruel or insensitive, you should try a different route:
Tell him "It's OK." And then just walk away. Don't get baited into more. IF this is his problem, you have acknowledged him gracefully without emasculating him.

[14 August 2003]
Why the Velvet Crush believes Free Expression, released a mere four years ago, already deserves the elaborate reissue treatment usually reserved for well-worn classics (i.e., Pet Sounds; the Byrds, Love, and Jefferson Airplane reissues; etc.), complete with a nostalgic look back in time to its genesis and an entire disc of demos and rejected tracks, is not clear. One ends up anticipating stereo and mono mixes and a few more bonus discs of studio chatter, unused vocal takes, and tapes of the band tuning. Their lionizing liner notes, which find them namedropping their famous associates, comparing themselves to Big Star and Gram Parsons, and deliberating carefully over the drama of the band's tempestuous evolution—all intended to preserve privileged glances into the inner workings of their genius for posterity—carry the Velvet Crush to an off-putting level of hubristic self-importance somewhat out of keeping with their being the frail insecure bunch their effete, melancholic power pop suggests they are. But maybe they are not incompatible: The insecure people we know (i.e., ourselves) are typically rampant egoists who bristle at the world's unaccountable refusal to acknowledge they are at the center of the universe.
Perhaps the Velvet Crush have a devoted fan base for whom they truly are at the center of the universe, a group they can rely on to buy their albums a second time when they tack on extraneous and apocryphal material. One has to wonder if they ever feel exploited, or if they are simply grateful there is more Velvet Crush for them to adore. Such a cult's existence is hard to fathom, though plenty of other fey, Beatle-esque bands have had such followings (the Posies, the dBs, Teenage Fanclub, Ladybug Transistor, the Lilys, etc.). Perhaps the fanaticism these bands can inspire derives from an ability to combine smugness with a self-effacing air, which intelligent people in an anti-intellectual culture must find intoxicating.
The most obvious analogue for the Velvet Crush's sound is Matthew Sweet, who produced this album. Some of the same sweetening touches Sweet used on his own albums appear here: the tempered steel guitar on "Heaven Knows", the Radio Shack keyboard on "Kill Me Now", the pervasive tambourine. Egregious in their absence, however, are guitar soloists on a par with Robert Quine and Richard Lloyd, who helped immeasurably in giving Sweet's lesser songs credibility.
The Velvet Crush often seem to aim for a Raspberries-like sound, the moderate tempos lulling listeners until the big hooks and harmonies in the bridges and the choruses are delivered. "Between the Lines" sounds as though it were patterned after the Raspberries' teen-sex teaser "Let's Pretend", though it lacks the coyly lascivious lyrics. When the Raspberries were great, as in "Go All the Way" and "I Wanna Be with You", it was because their songwriting was leaner than a capsule review (check the verse on "I Wanna Be with You") and Eric Carmen's vocals were full-throated and totally balls-out. Unfortunately, the vocals on Free Expression are never balls-out; more often than not they sound as if they have no balls at all.
The Velvet Crush's weak voices are part of the problem—they sound as though they are always straining for notes just beyond their range, which makes them sound a bit insipid and whiny—but the larger part is that their lyrics are consistently safe and bland, full of clichés along the lines of "Going, going, gone", or "You've got your troubles, I've got mine too" (which earns no points for being an allusion to a Searchers song). They subscribe to the school of songwriting which attempts to take familiar turns of phrase and string them together to make something vague and comforting and open to almost any possible application to one's own love life. Clichés are fine when you are some kind of Smokey Robinson-esque wizard at inverting them and squeezing fresh and surprising implications from them. But the Velvet Crush aren't at that level. The songs on Free Expression are safe and tension-free, but they aren't especially provocative. Taken individually, the songs are often satisfying, but taken one after the other their similar structures and tempos grow too predictable. They seem too polished, the craftsmanship so perfect that they may be mistaken for something prefabricated. Maybe tossing in the demos wasn't such a bad idea after all.

Hey Guys! I just wanted to give you some quick updates. I'm going to try to keep it short. FYI: upper back pain can actually be kidney pain. Who knew? Google knows. Google always knows.
First off, I'm ok. The biopsy went well...I think. lol I haven't noticed any complications. My stay at the hospital was not very eventful. Besides my ass sticking out of my little gown, haha...just kidding I was allowed to wear undies - nothing much happened. And by nothing I mean I wasn't allowed to move unless I had to go to the bathroom. I spent the entire night lying flat on an uncomfortable bed while wearing some pretty sweet compression sleeves on my legs. Seriously, I want one of those now.
I'll find out what the dealio is on June 4th. Hopefully the tissue samples they got were good. I heard that sometimes they aren't. If they aren't they would have to do the biopsy all over again. Fun.
I'm preparing myself for several scenarios. One, they could tell me that my large kidney can heal by itself and then they would start me on treatments. This is the best possible outcome. My right kidney is done for. That blockage is not going to be fixed. The surgery to widen the artery that is blocking blood flow would be too risky. Two, they could tell me that my kidneys can't heal themselves in which case I would have to be prepped for dialysis or a kidney transplant. This is not so good but I've been making friends with a lot of people on dialysis that are living productive lives. So I have hope. Three, this is the one that I'm scared of.....they could tell me I have cancer. If that happens, I've read that I wouldn't be eligible for a transplant.
On to happy news!
Pulp 365 has finally launched! There are several pieces of content that have still not been added to the site - mainly my lovely community features and an introduction page but those will be churned out very soon. Our first day was extremely successful. I'm really proud of the Pulp Team and I'm really thankful for our community. This doesn't mean I'm going to leave IGN. Honestly, I don't know what's going to happen. That all depends on June 4th. I think I will still be able to work for the site if I get stuck with outcome 1 or 2. But I'm not so sure about 3.
Anyway, I love ya! I miss talking to you guys on a daily basis SO much.
What have you been playing? Did anyone buy Watch Dogs? Let me know if it's any good.
I just bought Bound by Flame. I'm planning on featuring a LP of the game on my YouTube channel. I should have something up for it tomorrow. Until then, here's a vid of me creating my character for the game: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1439355829649067&set=vb.100007239906980&type=2&theater

BWW Recap: SYTYCD Eliminates Four, Announces All-Stars! Full Results & Pictures!
by Matt Tamanini - July 31, 2014
I was all kinds of conflicted coming into tonight's 'So You Think You Can Dance.' At the end of the episode, we were going to have to lose four dancers to get to the Top-10. Now, I am all for getting straight to the Top-10 dancers partnering with the All-Stars, but the prospect of dropping four was a little scary. At this point in the season, there were still a number of really talented individuals that haven't seemed to catch on yet, and I was afraid that with four cuts that someone really I really liked was going to go home tonight, without ever getting a chance to show his or her stuff. Unfortunately, I was right. So much of this show comes down to what genres and choreographers you get when, and two of the dancers eliminated tonight I think have gotten tough draws during the live shows. (more...)

Market reaction to social disclosures produced outside the firm: the French evidence
Over recent years, many countries have introduced new regulations for social and environmental reporting practices. External organisations have been active in producing information evaluating social and environmental disclosures published in annual reports. This study investigates the market reaction to Alpha-Etudes reports, which assess the quality and the conformity of social information in annual reports to new economic regulation. The sample includes listed companies in the CAC40 index. The results show that companies have a significant market reaction, after the media communication about the reports. Additional analysis indicates that observed price movements are marginally correlated with firms' classification produced in the Alpha-Etudes reports.

GLASGOW'S streets were recently transformed into decades of the past during the successful Vintage Festival.
And the high street is also giving a nod to days gone by.
There are plenty of 1960s-inspired pieces on the shelves at the moment - and there's something for everyone.
Whether you fancy a mini dress, an A-line skirt or a peter pan collar - or even an accessories update - there is plenty to try.
Look out for soft colours, pastels and details, as well as fail-safe black designs.
On the autumn/winter 2014 catwalks Saint Laurent showed beautiful capes, while Valentino also tried the cape trend in grey.
High street designers are already following suit, with capes beginning to filter into the shops.
Try New Look for a soft grey one that looks like it's beyond the £44.99 pricetag or try Debenhams for a cute plaid one.
There were also over-the- knee boots and plenty of mini dresses on the catwalks, so keep those in mind for when the cooler weather comes.
Pale blue collarless coat, £49.99, New Look
Channel Audrey Hepburn's style with this powder blue coat. www.newlook
Patent A-line mini, £10, Primark, in store August 30
Wear this mini with a blouse or a Tshirt to make it feel more modern.
Forget Me Not dress, £48, Yumi
The light material of this dress makes it perfect for running around at the weekend.
Tipped collar shift dress, £39, Miss Selfridge
Try a dress with a standout pattern, like this shift, for work and wear with a pair of loafers.
Babywear slingback court shoes, £29.50, M&Co
Comfy and elongates your legs...what more could you want from a pair of shoes?
Gabrilla crochet halterneck bodycon mini dress, £24.99, Missguided
For a night out try a halterneck mini dress. Wear with plenty of eyeliner and mascara for the ultimate 60s night out.
Ladylike bags should be your go-to when it comes to the 1960s trend. This art deco style ticks all the boxes.

Best Fish Fry in St. Louis
Junior Burger
2007/03/04 23:03:54
Speaking of fish, let me tell you. There's a fish fry in St. Louis I have discovered that has not the usual jack salmon or sole, but hand breaded cod. It was at a modest church building on Marine Ave near Dorsett Rd. My friend who is a local food critic took me there one Friday and I have been back several times with my family. They have hand breaded Icelandic cod and Gulf shrimp along with the usual sides and slaw. The homemade dessets will put you in heaven. Here is what my friend had to say about it: "St. John Bosco Fish Fry seems an unlikely place for a serious culinary adventure, yet it will meet the loftiest expectations. The menu items are freshly prepared and only the finest ingredients are used. Be sure to order the Icelandic hand breaded cod, as it is the best we have ever tasted." I couldn't say it any better.

GREENSBORO � During performances of the Broadway touring production �Rock Of Ages,� female theatergoers sometimes toss panties on stage.
�I encourage it,� Dominique Scott, who plays Drew in the show, said with a laugh. �Seriously, we try to create as much of a rock concert as possible. I will look out in the audience and it�s amazing because everybody is up on their feet. From an actors� perspective, I think I speak for all of us when I say it�s really unlike any other theatrical show out there in that respect � we encourage the audience to scream and go crazy.�
Unlike most rock stars, though, Scott and the rest of the performers have a tight schedule. They usually board a bus at 6:30 in the morning and ride 12 hours to the venue, do a two-hour sound check and then they�re up at 6 o�clock the next morning to do it all again. The cast often performs two shows a day and as many as eight shows a week.
�It�s definitely hard work,� he said.
But the interaction with fans makes it all worth it.
Scott can be found on both Facebook and Twitter and oftentimes encourages fans to Tweet or send a Facebook message during and after the shows. He left his rock band in New York City, Domin8trx, to join the touring production, and �475 shows later and I still love it. I�m happy to be there.�
The Triad Best of Broadway Series will present �Rock Of Ages� for one night only at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 19 at War Memorial Auditorium in Greensboro.
The five-time Tony-nominated musical is about Sherrie (Shannon Mullen) and Drew (Scott), two music lovers who meet one night in 1987 in Los Angeles and fall in love.
Scott, who is from Toledo, Ohio, originally, attended Syracuse University and �did the rock �n� roll thing in college.�
The story, he said, almost could be the story of how his parents met. His dad was a musician in the band Hollow Spirit, based in France in the 1970s and 1980s.
�They toured in Germany and Amsterdam and had a big following in Europe,� he said. �Then, he moved to the States and met my mom and settled down.�
Scott said he listened to all types of music growing up, including rock bands such as Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and Aerosmith.
As a kid, he said his dad encouraged him to play both guitar and piano.
�I�m still mad at my dad,� he said jokingly. �No, really, I�m grateful to him for the encouragement.�
The experience with �Rock Of Ages� has been surreal, at best.
�If someone would�ve told my dad years ago that I would be leading a national Broadway tour about a rock band, well, he wouldn�t have believed it. But every night, I get to go out on stage and perform. I was primarily a theater kid, so for me, this is the best of both worlds.�
Tickets are $50 and up and can be purchased at all Ticketmaster outlets, online at ticketmaster.com, by phone at (800) 745-3000 or at the venue box office.

The Day one of my best friends died on my couch. I had checked on him earlier and he was snoring away. The day that I brought my first Great Dane in to be put down and I didnt stay with her because I didnt want to see her die (I was young and oh so stupid). The day i found out that my ex-girlfriend died of a heroin overdose - she was left in a snowbank to die because the junkies she got high with were afraid to get help for her. I know if I was with her she would she would have lived(I had lots of practice saving people from ODs). The day I had to put my sick Mom(Alzheimer's Disease) into a nursing home because I could no longer physically take care of her. There are so many times that I hated myself, but I can no longer afford the luxury of hating myself, so I try to do the right thing each and every day....
The day I let a very close friend die when I could have prevented it....
i refused to help someone out of peer pressure.......was very immature in high school......still regret doin that........all she needed was directions. And i looked her straight in the eye and said "No".
when I get all bent out of shape over a situation that I completely misread. For example, I have a really good friend who is very talented, smart and funny. And he seems to be very interested in me. However, I think so highly of him that when he does anything special for me, I deny it immediately and think I'm nothing special to him. I misread any situation and think I'm just one of his many friends when I am actually pretty close to him. Then I get depressed. and that's when i hate myself.
Now. Because I can't have her and I selfishly want her even though she doesn't want me anymore
all my life.. :'(
When I found out my BF molested my 11 year old daughter.
I called the cops....it's really a very long story. It was 35 years ago, and nothing was done about it by the police. They thought she was a liar, when I said I saw it, they asked me if it made me jealous and if that was why I was reporting it. However he got his punishment...... eventually.
you'll be scarred for life
When I'm out of order.
when somebody told me that, i hurt them,..
when I realised I was powerless
