Asked where was their 10-month-old son, Axl, Duhamel told PEOPLE ruefully, "He's not with us tonight." The new dad – who was the host of the event – also told reporters that he gets "13!" hours of sleep a night.
But while Axl was tucked up in bed, the affectionate couple only had eyes for each other as Duhamel used his charms to help raise more than $1.2 million for AIDS research.
During dinner, he and Fergie (who wore a white Calvin Klein strapless sheath dress) kept their table entertained, sitting comfortably close to each other and laughing and chatting together. And when he took to the stage, Duhamel, 41, paid tribute to his "beautiful wife," throwing in a fist pump and a "Woooo!" as the crowd applauded.
When it was her turn to present an award to Calvin Klein's Francisco Costa and Italo Zucchelli, Duhamel, who'd been backstage, "snuck out into the audience to admire his wife," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "He was excitedly cheering her on."
Fergie, 39, who was with Matt Bomer, tousled her hair as she sang a few words of her speech, eliciting claps and cheers.
Mother of three Parker attended the event without her husband, Matthew Broderick, but could have used his help upon her arrival when she got into a bit of trouble with the train of her voluminous Schiaparelli polka-dot dress.
Wardrobe crisis averted, she presented an award to HBO's Michael Lombardo and wistfully recalled her Sex and the City days, saying she was proud to call Lombardo a friend who always treated her well during the show's run.

The death of Whitney Houston has rocked the industry on the eve of music's biggest night, but the show must go on – it's what she would have wanted, music mogul Clive Davis said Saturday night.
"Whitney was so full of life. She was so looking forward to tonight," he told those gathered Saturday night at The Recording Academy and Clive Davis's pre-Grammy gala, which she was due to attend (although she was not scheduled to perform, he said, as previously reported).
"She loved music and loved this night that celebrated music," he
continued of the late singer, whose death is currently under investigation.
"Whitney would have asked that the music go on. And her family said the show should go on."
With "a very heavy heart," Davis also asked party goers to join him in a moment of silence.
"Now ladies and gentlemen," he said after, "let the music begin."
As the party started, Houston's body was still in the Beverly Hilton hotel.
First to take the stage: Tony Bennett, who sang "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?"
"First Michael Jackson,
then Amy Winehouse and now Whitney," he said before advocating that the government legalizes drugs.
Bennett was followed by Diana Krall. Then it was Diddy who tried to push the event from somber to celebratory. "Whenever you saw Whitney, she hit you with that beautiful smile," he said. "If we truly believe in God, then we should celebrate the life of Whitney Houston tonight."
When Alicia Keys performed, she dedicated part of "No One" to Houston.

The South Carolina Democratic Party announced Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley as keynote speaker for the Issues Conference in Charleston on March 23. The SCDP Issues Conference is an annual forum with panel and breakout discussions on a variety of topics affecting the people, families and businesses of South Carolina
"As South Carolina continues to face high unemployment, a slow recovery and a rank of 48th in the nation in public education, it is more important than ever to hear from leaders around the country who are effectively moving their states forward. I was proud to ask Governor O'Malley to join the SCDP for the annual Issues Conference, and we are excited to welcome him," said Sen. Vincent Sheheen. "Governor O'Malley has gotten results in the toughest of times and as a result of his leadership, Maryland ranks No. 1 in public schools, No. 1 in holding down the cost of college tuition, No. 1 in its region for recovering jobs after the national recession and No. 1 in innovation and entrepreneurship. That is the kind of leadership we are lacking in South Carolina's statehouse and his presence will bring valuable insight and experience to our discussions."
Who: Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley
What: SCDP Annual Issues Conference
Where: West Ashley High School, 4060 W Wildcat Blvd, Charleston

A registered sex offender charged with sexually assaulting an elderly resident at the Lancaster County nursing home where he lived waived his preliminary hearing Friday morning.
Investigators said Glenn Hershey, 65, sexually assaulted the 86-year-old victim in January at the Maple Farm nursing home in Ephrata Township.
Police said the victim suffers from Alzheimer's and dementia.
"It is a very disturbing case. It's a case involving abuse of an elderly person and those cases are always very difficult," said Megan King, of the Lancaster County district attorney's office.
Hershey's next scheduled court appearance is April 24.

Elizabeth Larson '16 Studying With Brown University Professor, Physician
Research Medicine Project on Lubricin for Joint Pain
Contact Holly Foster 315-859-4068
Posted August 15, 2014
Tags Biochemistry Student Internships Student Research Students
Anyone who has torn their ACL or suffers from osteoarthritis knows just how agonizing the joint pain can be. In the Emergency Medicine Laboratory of Rhode Island Hospital, researchers are working to relieve some of that pain, and keep the damage to the impacted joints minimal.
Elizabeth Larson '16, a biochemistry major, is spending her summer on the Rhode Island Hospital and Brown University campus doing research with Dr. Gregory Jay. Jay is a professor of emergency medicine and engineering at Brown University in the Department of Emergency Medicine and Division of Engineering and an attending emergency physician at Rhode Island Hospital.
Larson is assisting Jay with his work on Lubricin, the boundary lubricant in articulating joints, encoded by the gene PRG4. Interest in Lubricin has taken off in recent years due to crucial evidence in support of its importance and potential benefit for patients with osteoarthritis and joint trauma at risk to develop post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Larson said, "I had never given any thought to joint lubrication in the past, but now learning and studying how important it is and the resounding impacts it has on the body is fascinating."
Lubricin has also been found to be important for lubrication development in tissues, like the eye. This discovery has proven to be very advantageous to people with severe dry eye disease. As of now, the majority of Lubricin trials are being run on rodents and porcine with hope that in the upcoming years human trials will be successful as well.
Larson has been able to learn the ropes of what innovative research medicine entails as well as learning and contributing to the procedures for common laboratory techniques.
Larson is thrilled to be able to be given the opportunity to work in such a challenging and cutting edge area of medicine. Although unsure of exactly what she wants to study in graduate school, Larson says, "This experience has definitely opened my eyes to the different opportunities in medical research that I will consider for my graduate work."

BERKELEY SPRINGS - Now's the time to get outdoors and watch the fall bird migration in the Eastern Panhandle.
To coincide with this annual natural event, the fifth annual Berkeley Springs Fall Birding Festival will be held in and around the town this weekend.
Most of the festival's events will be free, and all are open to the public.
It will include Friday and Saturday evening programs, bird walks and workshops during the day Saturday, and a bird walk Sunday morning.
Judy Webb, of The Nature Niche, said a few local birders started the festival a few years ago with Bill Thompson III of "Bird Watchers Digest" and his wife, illustrator/writer Julie Zickefoose.
"We started in a small way, and built on it," Webb said.
The Potomac Valley Audubon Society (PVAS) joined Webb's core group in 2009 and has been the lead festival sponsor since. Attendance has grown from about 160 in 2009 to more than 200 participants at various weekend events in 2011.
All workshops and bird walks are free. The only ticketed events are the evening presentations at the Ice House, which cost $10 to cover expenses.
"The proceeds from the festival are simply used to cover festival costs. No one has profited from it," PVAS' Peter Smith said. "We've been subsidizing it since 2009, but last year it got very close to breaking even and we're hopeful that it will become self-sustaining starting this year."
The first event will be a reception 6 p.m. Friday at the Ice House, with programs starting at 7 p.m. That presentation is about raptors by Northern Virginia raptor expert Liam McGranaghan.
The "Birdchick," Sharon Stiteler, is again one of the featured speakers, at 8 p.m. on Friday. She's a Minnesota naturalist who authors the popular "Birdchick.com" blog, which has been recognized in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and on "NBC Nightly News." Last year she spoke of her adventures - and misadventures - around the world chasing feathered friends. This year, her presentation is on "Today's Office," which is increasingly a mobile and flexible concept.
Saturday's morning bird walk at 8 a.m. is with McGranaghan and Stiteler at the scenic Panorama overlook. Bald eagles are frequently seen.
Saturday afternoon, there will be two free events at Cacapon Resort State Park. The first is a beginning birding workshop at 1:30 p.m. at the Nature Center with Park Naturalist Renee Fincham. It's aimed at children but also open to beginning birders of all ages.
Fincham and Smithsonian Institution forensic ornithologist Marcy Heacker will cover topics like identification basics, birding manners and using guidebooks and equipment.
Fincham said, "We'll go over what to look for: size, shape and silhouette. We'll talk about habitat, the best time to go and getting ready with binocular use and how to use guide books."
At 3 p.m. in the lower conference room of the Park Lodge, Ron Perrone, of the Three Rivers Avian Center in Brooks, will give a presentation on raptors, featuring live rescued birds.
Saturday evening will feature two presentations at the Ice House. At 7 p.m., Heacker will present "Birding Then and Now; More Tales From the Nation's Attic." At 8:15 p.m., Stiteler will talk about her experiences birding in other countries, most recently in Israel.
Refreshments will be served. The event includes a silent auction of items donated by local artists and businesses.
The festival wraps Sunday with an 8:30 a.m. bird walk at Sleepy Creek Retreat, a mountainside meadowland property south of Berkeley Springs. The property offers sweeping views and a rich variety of habitats, and it will provide good opportunities to see migrating raptors, blue jays and warblers.
Webb said neighbors of Sleepy Creek Retreat mowed some of their meadow, which will expand the nature walk down to the creek. Each year, she said they chronicle more species and groups of migrating birds.
Webb said anyone can become a birder.
"My intent is to get people outside to enjoy what's going on around them," she said. "It's not an expensive hobby. Anyone can be a birder."
She continued, "One thing beginners have to learn is how to keep a bird in sight while getting their binoculars on it, and how to listen. One of the most rewarding moments I remember is when we had a lady from Cumberland come to learn more because she was going to visit her sister in Puerto Rico on a birding trip. This woman was a doctor and wanted to get textbooks out, to learn about the birds before she went out. We had to show her she had to go look first, get her head out of the book. She developed over the weekend, and had a great trip to Puerto Rico."

Other recent efforts include its Windows
Azure OS, a cloud computing OS currently offered for free to
Now Microsoft has unveiled another new
OS prototype codenamed "Barrelfish". Barrelfish
is an OS optimized to run on multi-core machines. Namely,
Barrelfish uses message passing and a database like system to pass
information between cores. Typically OS's use share memory
schemes, which become very inefficient when resource demands are
The new OS was jointly created by ETH Zurich, a
technology university, and Microsoft Research, located in Cambridge,
Interestingly, it uses some open source BSD
third-part libraries, which are "covered by various BSD-like
open source licenses." This has led to speculation that
the new OS may be free and open source, not terms you typically would
associate with Microsoft.
According to developers who have
attended conferences on the new OS, it reportedly brings some of the
Midori/Singularity sandboxing protections onboard.
Additionally, applications reportedly have an alternate route of
accessing information from devices like graphics or sound cards.
A large deal of device information is reportedly stored in a central
database that can be queried.
developer "AudriUSA", "... instead of fully isolating
program from device via driver, Barrelfish has a kind of database
where lots of low level information about the hardware can be found.
The kernel is single threaded and non preemptive. Scheduling is
coupled with the message passing, an arrival of the message simply
activates the waiting thread. It also uses a little bit of the
microkernel concepts, running drivers in protected space, like L4 and
in general pushing a lot into application domains."
Intel and AMD expand
their 4, 6, and 8-core lineups and approach even higher
core counts, using these resources efficiently will be a crucial
operating system responsibility. It will be exciting to see
what kind of improvements that Microsoft can accomplish with
Barrelfish, as these improvements will surely be rolled into
successors to Windows 7.
quote: To make what I just said make sense... a 'multicore ready' app is no good if each individual thread has to wait for the previous one to finish before it can start. yeah it'll use many cores, but it wont use them concurrently
quote: as opening another thread to have the first thread do nothing makes absolutely no sense

I have a wonderful and loving husband and many, many fur babies (and a couple scaly and a few finned and feathered). I've never been one to conform to what most people would call normal, but I try my best to have fun and enjoy what I do always! I am a tom girl and a girly girl all rolled up into one....why should everyone else have all the fun? It's no fun if you can't get dirty in the process! (Me? I love to play in the dirt and be outside. Mud always washes off!)
I have been doing embroidery, cross stitch, quilting and all sorts of crafty things since I was 7 years old. I am now 31 (2011) and needed to do something that I enjoyed doing for once, so my business here was born! I love to cross stitch and quilt the most I would imagine out of all the things that I do (and I do many LOL) and what better way to combine my two loves of stitching!
My business is my way of putting my stamp on the world, in my own way of course! I hope everyone enjoys stitching my charts as much as I did creating them!
How will you put your stamp on the world? ;)

LOCKPORT – A man who robbed a Sanborn drugstore Sept. 28 intends to plead guilty, his attorney said in Niagara County Court Friday, but it's still uncertain what the charge will be. Judge Matthew J. Murphy III ordered the sides back to court March 1.
Assistant District Attorney Brian E. Seaman said Nicholas E. Patterson, 27, of Mount Hope Road on the Tuscarora Indian Reservation, stole a quantity of fentanyl from the CVS store at Saunders Settlement and Cambria-Lewiston Townline roads. He was arrested two days later.
Attorney Herbert L. Greenman said Patterson will plead guilty, but first he wants to be screened for the judicial diversion program of court-supervised drug treatment.
If he's accepted into that program, he must plead guilty to a nonviolent crime to qualify, so the charge would be third-degree grand larceny. If he's rejected, he will plead to third-degree robbery, a violent felony. The amount of restitution to CVS is still undetermined, Seaman said.

One of my dogs is allergic to meat, and her old veggie food was discontinued, and since then I have been searching for new food. I bought a small bag of this to try, and both of my dogs love it! The dry food they used to eat would sit all day, but this stuff is gone in a heartbeat. I hope they don't discontinue this

I have a 2yo Shepherd mix that is extreeeemellyyy picky about what he eats! This is the ONLY food that I have found that he whole-heartedly eats and enjoys. I mix it with another high end dry food to "bulk" it up a bit. I also have a 7yo Cattle Dog mix who was on a veterinarian low residue diet for 5 years because of digestion problems...she is now on Grandma Lucy's and has no problems! Love this stuff!

A handful of North Shore locals competed in the XTERRA World Championship in Maui this past Sunday, led by Kara LaPoint's second-place finish in the women's 25-29 age group.
Robert Kronkhyte, Wendy Kronkhyte and Joe Pace, all of Tahoe City, also competed in the season-culminating event.
LaPoint finished 232nd overall out of more than 650 triathletes from across the globe, posting a time of 3 hours, 24 minutes, 21 seconds. LaPoint, author of the Sierra Sun's Endurance Endeavors column, won her 25-29 division at the XTERRA USA Championship in September.
Robert Kronkhyte finished 409th overall and 10th in his men's 55-59 division in a time of 3:55:41.
He was just one place ahead of fellow Tahoe City resident Pace, who was 410th overall and in 3:56:18 and 11th in the men's 55-59 division.
Wendy Kronkhyte placed 593rd overall and in a time of 5:06:48, which was good enough for 26th place in her women's 45-49 division.
Professional XTERRA triathlete Javier Gomez won the overall in a time of 2:26:50, while fellow pro Lesley Paterson won the women's overall in 2:44:11.
Neilson Powless of Roseville - who at the age of 15 won the XTERRA Lake Tahoe off-road triathlon and the XTERRA Tahoe City triathlon this past summer, and was the top amateur and 12th overall in the XTERRA USA Championship - was the top amateur. He placed 23rd overall, ahead of many pros, in a time of 2:42:35.
The race consists of a 1.5-kilometer (1-mile) rough-water swim, a 30.4-kilometer (18.89-mile) mountain bike and a 9.5-kilometer (5.9-mile) run.

LISBON - Though more of the sunshine and warmth of Saturday would have been preferred by most, cooler temperatures and intermittent drizzle didn't stop crowds from converging upon Pioneer Village in Beaver Creek State Park for the second day of Pioneer Craft Days, presented by Friends of Beaver Creek State Park, on Sunday.
Greg and Mariann Leopold came down from Lordstown for the day, with their dogs Cora and Natty, on leashes, leading the way. Greg said they decided to make the trip after seeing the craft fair advertised in a local paper. Though it was their first time to the park, Greg enthusiastically said it would not be their last. "It's great," he said, "a really beautiful piece of property."
Among the many vendors were Bill and Rosie Chludzinski of Rogers, also making their first trip to the event. Their unique handiwork features Rosie's paintings of colonial and country scenes framed by Bill in old wooden window panes, creating the effect of seeing the work as through a farmhouse window. "We work hard together," she chuckled. "It's a good thing we get along." She also paints on metal sap buckets, tart tins and wood, but said the increasing scarcity of the buckets led her to try something new.

Despite being newcomers, Rosie said that she and Bill were made to feel welcome. She also found the natural surroundings and relaxed atmosphere pleasant, and the customers very receptive. "We'll be back," she said.
All the new faces were good news for Alice Whitehill, a volunteer with the Friends of Beaver Creek State Park. "This has been a really good weekend," she said. Though she hopes for a return to what she recalls as the event's glory years in the 1980s, Whitehill believes that this year's strong turnout bodes well for the future. "It's doing well," she said. "We hope that it grows."
According to Whitehill, 2012 marks the 35th anniversary of Pioneer Craft Days, which began shortly after the village was completed in the mid-1970s. She explained that, except for Gaston Mill and the Williams House and barn, all of the structures on the property were either transported there or constructed on the grounds using logs from original log buildings formerly found in Columbiana County.
Whitehill said the two-day event now serves as the organization's chief fundraiser each year. Proceeds from the rental of space to vendors and craftspeople go toward repairs for the historic buildings and upkeep of the grounds, which are owned by the state of Ohio but the Friends are responsible for maintaining.

Some people can drink liquor for hours on end and stay sober, while others become tipsy after just one drink. So how can you tell if you or someone else is a problem drinker?
"If a person drinks repeatedly and the drinking causes personal, professional or family problems, they may have the disease of alcoholism," says Hamilton Beazley, PhD, a psychologist and former president of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence Inc. "When alcoholics drink, they can't always predict how much they will drink, when they will stop, or what they will do while drinking. And it is common for alcoholics to deny the negative effects of drinking or that they even have a problem."
Alcohol is considered a drug because it depresses the central nervous system and can disrupt mental and motor skills, as well as damage internal organs when used excessively. Alcohol can be harmful both physically and economically.
Alcohol can lessen tension, reduce inhibitions and ease social interaction. When used in excess, however, it can be physically and psychologically addicting, cause impaired memory, coordination and judgment, damage the heart, liver and nervous system, and lead to birth defects. The abuser also places himself or herself and others at risk if he or she drives or operates machinery after drinking too much.
Alcohol abuse can start at any age, and there are no explicit predictors of when it may commence, though a family history or current family substance problems may influence the onset. Some people have been heavy drinkers for many years, but others develop a drinking problem later in life. Sometimes this is because of major life changes that cause depression, isolation, boredom, and loneliness.
If you drink alcohol, take these steps to minimize risks:
Eat 15 minutes before drinking to help slow the alcohol's absorption.
Don't drink when you are thirsty. Quench your thirst before beginning to drink.
Don't drink when you are under stress, emotionally upset or tired.
Know when to stop.
If you suspect someone is an alcoholic, look for these symptoms:
Frequent uncontrolled drinking episodes
Excessive drinking to the point of intoxication
Going to work drunk or drinking on the job
Driving while drunk
Doing something under the influence of alcohol he or she would not otherwise do
Getting in trouble with the law or injuring himself or herself as a consequence of drinking
Problems at school, with social relationships, or with his or her family because of drinking
Using alcohol to decrease anxiety or sadness
Gulping drinks
Frequently having more than one drink a day (with a standard drink being one 12-ounce bottle or can of beer or a wine cooler, one 5-ounce glass of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits)
Lying about or trying to hide drinking habits
Needing more alcohol to get high
Feeling irritable, resentful or unreasonable when not drinking
Learn more facts about alcoholism through state and local councils on alcoholism, libraries, local hospitals, and religious groups.
Treat alcoholism as a disease, not a moral failure or lack of will-power.
Be understanding, but don't become an "enabler" by protecting or lying for an alcoholic, or denying the problem exists.
Encourage treatment; your health care provider can help find treatment resources.

It may be impossible ever to determine exactly where in the Hart Co KY Harper family our Frances (Harper) (Meredith) Pedigo fits. The documents we have for her are few, as follows:
1. Statements were made by several of her grandchildren in 1966 that she had an earlier marriage to a Mr. Meredith, and that her Pedigo children had a half-brother named William Meredith.
2. Her 1835 marriage certificate, as Frances H Meredith, to Elijah Pedigo. The H is not written clearly.
3. The fact that the witness at her marriage was Ransom Harper.
4. One daughter's 1919 death certificate that says she was Frances Harper. Berry R Pedigo's death certificate said Mary Harper.[1]
5. Her only certain census in 1840 with Elijah Pedigo, Hart Co KY, p 202: 101001/100001, which places her birth date as 1800-1810; Elijah was born in 1809. The children in this year were likely William Meredith, Jesse L and Martha Hester Pedigo. Another son, George Walter Pedigo, has been claimed for the couple, but evidence is lacking, since a second son under 5 is not present in this census entry.
6. The fact that in 1840, Elijah and Frances Pedigo were next door to Merriman Harper.
7. 1836-38 tax lists, in which Elijah Pedigo was listed with four children.[2]
8. The assumption that Frances was dead by 1850, when her children were spread among various unrelated families and her husband Elijah was living with Ellen (–?–) Pedigo, assumed to be his second wife.
9. The fact that Ransom Harper and Jacob L Harper were witnesses at the 1866 marriage of Frances's son Berry Rowlett Pedigo.
So where was Frances in the 1810, 1820, 1830 censuses? A daughter born 1800-1810 fits in either Hance's 1810[3] or Samuel's 1820[4] census.
Who was her first husband? This is still an unanswered question.
Who were her parents? Both Ransom and Merriman Harper have been assumed to be sons of Silas Harper by an earlier marriage, since Silas married Elizabeth Taylor in 1817, and about the same time his probable brother Samuel married Sarah Smith. I assume that Frances may be a sister of Ransom and/or Merriman. None of these was with Silas in his 1820 census; they do fit with his possible father Samuel Sr.
Hance Harper of Hart County, Kentucky, was born say 1765 in Virginia and died after 1820 in Hart Co KY. He was a member of Green River United Baptist Church, Hart Co KY. It appears from church records that his wife was named Rhoda; he may have had a later wife named Nancy.
Family historians state he was born probably in Augusta Co VA and moved to Spartanburg Co SC. Several references occur in Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia Extracted from the Original Court Records of Augusta County Court Record. Order Book No. II, p 44. 29 Nov 1750. Page (580) Road ordered to be cleared and kept in repair on the cowpasture by these inhabitants: Wallace Estill, Robert Carlile, John Carlile, Loftus Pullen, Richd. Bodkin, Saml. Ferguson, Mathew Harper, Thomas Wright, Michael Harper. Hance Harper, John Miller, William Price, James Anglen, James Hall, Philip Phegan, John Shaw, Herculus Wilson, William, and John Carlile. On 19 Nov 1767, he served as a juror in the list: Jurors: James Hill. John Long, Pat. Christian, Saml. Caldwell, Joseph Gamwell, James Lawrence, David Moore, Hance Harper, Saml. Crockett, Wm. Cowdon, Jeremiah Telford, Saml. Lawrence.
A Spartanburg Co SC genealogist available for look-ups at the genweb site said: "There are several entries for Hans/Hance [Harper]. All seem to be jury lists of one kind or another, and range from 1791 -1797. One of the early ones lists him as Hance, Jr."
By 1765 the older Hance Harper was selling land in Augusta County, as cited in Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia Extracted from the Original Court Records of Augusta County Court Record. Order Book No. II, p 418. (Page 773) 18th March, 1765. Hance Harper and Elizabeth to William Martin, £24, 180 acres on Blackthorn, a branch of South Branch of Potomac. Teste: Thos. Stuart, Elizabeth Stuart, Wm. Jameson. Delivered: Wm. Martin, August, 1768.
Therefore, we have three names of men who were adults in Virginia in 1750 to wit, Michael, Hance, and Michael. They have been assumed to be a father (Michael=1st gen.) and two sons, born ca 1730s.
Caldeen Benedict listed many sons she assumed for an original settler named Michael Harper.[5] From the eight individuals named, it appears that Matthew and Hance (2nd gen.) went to Spartanburg SC, where they lived in the 1790s.
By the time Hance and slightly later Matthew moved to central Kentucky,[6] the elder Matthew and Hance had been replaced by younger men, who on occasion called themselves, Matthew Jr and Hance Jr.
Hance moved to Kentucky before 1800.[7] He was in "Second Census of Kentucky," p 126: Hance Harper, Barren Co, 9/10/1800.[8] He was a leader of the Green River Baptist Church, cited frequently in the minutes to advise others and as a trustee to help construct the church; Matthew was received by letter in 1809.[9] An 1815 land survey shows Samuel Harper was in Barren Co by that date; all three early Harpers were born before 1775, possibly before 1765; more than once Samuel and his wife were reconciled with effort by church members. (3rd gen.)
Hance and Matthew were both in the 1810 census, Barren Co KY, Hance Harper: 00211/12201; and Matthew Harper: 22010/20100. Hance's wife seems to have been called both Nancy and Rhoda; one daughter has two death records, one naming Rhoda as her mother and a year later with the same day and cause of death naming Nancy. Along with Matthew, Ann Harper joined the church in 1809, but none of his three wives was Ann; she may be the oldest daughter. Almost immediately, Matthew started having problems with church order. The next Harpers to be added to the Green River Baptist Church rolls were Samuel and his wife, possibly named Elizabeth, before 1815, then Isaac and Hester in 1820,and "Dosity" in 1821.
There is only one known list of members of this church, and other members of this family were not mentioned in church records. Maybe they neither assumed leadership roles nor got into trouble. They were, in the 4th generation:
· James, who owned land by 1815, had a wife Mary, six children born 1811-1820
· Johnathan, who married Doshy Reynolds, 22 Oct 1810 in Barren Co KY
· Isaac, who married Hester Light, 19 Mar 1813
· William, who married Nancy Locke, 1 Mar 1814
· Silas, who married Elizabeth Taylor, 5 Jan 1817
· Samuel, Jr, who married Sarah Smith, 11 Oct 1817
· Hiram, who married Nancy (Locke) Harper, his cousin's widow, 6 May 1824
· Stephen, who had four daughters in 1820
· Robert, who had four sons by 1830
Harpers in the 1819 Hart Co KY tax list were Isaac Harper, Hanse Harper, Samuel Harper Sr, Samuel Harper Jr, Matthew Harper, James Harper, Jonathan Harper.[10]
It is always tricky to argue from silence, but when Matthew Jr came to Hart Co KY, he appears to have resided among cousins and to have had no identifiable brothers. A clear indication that Matthew was from Spartanburg Co SC is a statement he wrote in the Bible that he married his first wife Elizabeth Pierce in Spartanburg Co SC.
It is my guess that Hance Sr and his wife Elizabeth had two sons Samuel and Hance Jr,[11] who along with Matthew were the fathers of the 4th generation Harpers.
In Hart Co KY, there were several generations of Harpers living simultaneously in the area. The problem for a genealogist is that it is difficult to tell where one generation ends and the next begins. Were certain individuals sons or grandsons of Hance?
Matthew was married three times and had 24 children. Since one of his daughters by his second wife was named Frances, and her marriage to Jesse Reynolds in about 1830 is known, we can probably rule out this branch of the family for the Frances under discussion here.
In 1820, Hance no longer had a daughter under 16 living in his home. His census for that year in recently formed Hart Co KY reads: 000011/00112. The unmarried son was probably Hiram. It is doubtful a married son was living with his parents, since all the known Harpers were heads of households in 1820 except Hiram and Robert. Of the five daughters in 1810, two or three seem to be still at home. Since known daughters of Hance and his wife are Rhoda, who married Romeo Crump 30 Aug 1812, Elizabeth, who married Archibald Crump, 16 Mar 1815, and Mary, who married first William Locke, 8 Dec 1814, and second William Vaughn, ca 1831, there must have been another female in the family in 1820. The other two sons in 1810 can only be guessed at.
Samuel's 1810 census has not been located.[12] In 1820, he had a son under 10 and another under 16 and two daughters the same ages. These could certainly include Ransom and Frances.
Ransom's accepted birth date is 1814. Isaac's children's names are known. Only Jonathan, Isaac, James, or one of the older generation men could have been Ransom's father.[13]
If Frances's 1840 census is correct as to her age, and if Ransom is her brother, and if they were living with their parents in 1820, they were children of the bickering couple, Samuel Harper Sr and his wife Elizabeth.
Which Meredith married Frances Harper?
A posting at Genforum says: "All Merediths whatever the spelling from Hart, Edmonson and Grayson Counties in Kentucky descend from Joseph "Old Joe" Meredith who was born 1763 in Loudon County, Virginia. "Old Joe" settled on Rock Creek in Hardin or Nelson County, Kentucky in 1809, the following year Grayson County was formed and that area was encompassed in the new county. Old Joe built a flour or gristmill on Rock Creek. The deed for this a property is in the Grayson County Courthouse. A community grew up around the area around the mill became known as Grayson Springs."
Several children of my ancestor, Berry Rowlett Pedigo, told me in 1966 that their father had an older half-brother, William Meredith, from the mother's first marriage. This fits with the 1835 marriage bond of Elijah Pedigo and Frances H[arper] Meredith.
There was a William Meredith who lived in Hart Co KY with his wife Rebecca and their children. In 1850 he or someone else gave his age as 25, in 1860 as 39 (called Chas. but with the same wife and children), in 1870 as 52, and in 1880 as 40. Several gedcoms at Ancestry.com identify the wife as Rebecca Caswell and say William's parents were Alexander and Sarah (Brunk) Harper. However, the researchers who list this couple's seven children do not include William. The only exception lists ten children, including "Charles William." Modern Meredith family researchers may place this William in the wrong family, but I am still searching for the right one.
The only census that we know that lists Frances (Harper) (Meredith) Pedigo was in 1840 when she was listed as 30-40, that is, born 1800-1810; her son, if he lived with the family, was 10-15. By 1850, her children were living with other families and her husband had a new wife, Ellen. By that year, William Meredith was married with five children aged 7 and under.
Whom did Frances marry as her first husband? When? Most of the Merediths in this area are known, but Frances's husband remains a mystery. Was he in Hart Co KY in 1820? Were they married already?
1820, Hart Co KY
Salley Merrydith 031100/30010
Wm Merrydith 000100/10100
This William Meredith was still in Hart Co KY in 1840 and then in Grayson Co KY in 1850 with his wife Frances, still living.
Was there still another Mr. Meredith back there in early Kentucky, possibly not even related to "Old Joe"?
So I am still looking.

Stetson's freshmen duo of Amber Porter and Brianti Saunders combined for 40 points as the Hatters defeated host Jacksonville 85-62 Saturday afternoon at Swisher Gym.
The Hatters improved to 22-5 on the season, 14-1 in the Atlantic Sun, and they extended their school-record winning streak to 14 games in a row.
"I thought in the first half we played very well on both ends," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "Offensively and defensively we were executing. I thought we started the second half very well, then (Jacksonville) cranked up their pressure and it bothered us. We just had too many turnovers. We have to keep our heads and take care of the basketball better when teams decide to do that."
Porter scored 11 of her game-high 22 points in the first six minutes of the contest to help boost the Hatters to an early 10-point lead. Stetson's defense held the Dolphins to just seven field goals in the first 20 minutes as the Hatters led 42-22 at the break.
"I thought our defense was outstanding in the first half. We got (JU) to shoot a tough percentage and then we rebounded the ball really well, and that was something from our last game we didn't do so well. I thought our rebounding was better today."
Stetson scored the first seven points of the second half and led by as many as 31 before Jacksonville's pressure defense forced some turnovers which led to transition baskets.
"It was probably about a 10 minute stretch where it really hurt us, but I felt like we regrouped, we got used to it, and we started attacking better," Bria said. "I think we have to respond faster; it can't take us so long to finally figure it out."
Saunders, a native of nearby Hilliard, Fla., enjoyed playing in front of a large contingent of friends and family. She finished with 18 points for the second straight game and went 8-for-8 from the free throw line.
"Amber had some real high-level moves in the paint, and then 'Brea' got it going on both ends," Bria said. "I thought Brea was very aggressive for most of the game."
Cherisse Burris (15 points), Myeisha Hall (12 points), and Jama Sharp (10 points) also scored in double figures for Stetson, which extended its road winning streak to eight.
The Hatters had four blocks in the game, including three by Porter, to bring their season total to 131. That mark breaks the school record for blocks in a season, which was set last year with 129.
Stetson will play its final three regular season games at home, beginning at 7 p.m. Thursday night against Northern Kentucky.
Notes: Stetson hit 35 free throws, a season-high and tied for the third highest single-game total in school history ... Stetson's 14-game winning streak overall and eight game road winning streak each rank as the fifth-longest active streaks in the NCAA ... Amber Porter raised her season blocks total to 94.

Carrot Halwa Ice Cream
By Varsha Seetharam | August 3, 2012
It has been over ten years, but I can still remember hovering around the kitchen, anxiously waiting for the pot of sweet milk-soaked carrots to finish cooking. The warm and comforting smells were almost intoxicating and permeated the entire household: carrots frying in butter, pistachios roasting in the oven and freshly ground cardamom. Growing up, we rarely ate dessert, but on special occasions, my grandmother would spend hours cooking up a true labor of love, an Indian dessert called carrot halwa. Carrot halwa wasn't just a dessert, it was an event.
We would wake up early enough to get the first pick of the produce, and head to the nearby farmers market to select red, raspberry-colored carrots flown in from Kashmir. The next stop was the local dairy store to purchase a gallon of fresh milk, milked from cows earlier that day, followed by a final trip to the spice shop to pick up a tiny box of saffron and freshly ground cardamom.
Before food processors entered the Indian market, the creation of this dish would take up the better part of the evening. Pounds of carrots were hand-grated, cooked up in butter or ghee and simmered slowly for hours in sweet, creamy, cardamom-scented whole milk. To me, this was comfort food at its finest.
Despite having recreated most of my childhood favorites in my own kitchen, from palak paneer to channa masala, carrot halwa is one from which I have shied away. My grandmother never seemed to use cup measures, or tablespoons; in fact, she didn't own any measuring devices. Recipes always involved a "pinch of this" or a "handful of that," and without a strict recipe, and the copious amounts of grandmotherly love that I know she poured into every bowl, I knew I would be disappointed with the outcome.
Every once in a while, I develop a craving for the halwa that connects me to my hometown, over 8,000 miles away. Outside of India, Indian desserts don't hold the same popularity as naan and tandoori chicken (except for the ubiquitous gulab jamun, which is often cloying and poorly prepared), and a delicious bowl of carrot halwa is not easy to come by. I decided to take matters into my own hands, recreating a dessert that commemorates the dish that was so special to my childhood by using the same flavor profiles in a completely unique recipe that would prevent me from comparing it to the original.
With the use of my handy food processor, this recipe took less than an hour of effort in the kitchen. Similar to my grandmother's original recipe, grated carrots are cooked in clarified butter and simmered in milk, sugar, saffron and cardamom until it reaches the consistency of a thick pudding. The pudding is then mixed with plenty of roasted pistachios, and added to traditional ice cream base ready for churning.
The result is a deliciously creamy cardamom-scented ice cream, swirled with sweetened carrots, chockfull of whole roasted pistachios and a hint of saffron on the finish. It is the perfect summer treat, and all those carrots will help offset some of that guilt when you finish the whole pint in one sitting.

I'm not 100% sure which one team would piss me off the most. Right now for me I'd say it's among the rather obvious handful of teams: Vancouver, Boston, Pittsburgh, Chicago, San Jose and maybe St. Louis; with Vancouver as the current frontrunner by default.

I love the new bundling features. Makes web site optimization so much easier!
there is a bug in gzip when using IE6, so gzip should be turned off when it is being requested by IE6. unfortunately, IIS7 compression module doesn't handle this. There is a work around using iis url rewrite module. http://www.andornot.com/blog/post/IE6-gzip-bug-solved-using-IIS7s-URL-Rewrite-Module.aspx
Good stuff. Next time, don't walk about so much! :-)
The NuGet package (currently v0.1) is here:
if you are supporting IE6, something is wrong
bundling is possible with 4.0 ? or it is Available in 4.5
Very awful, and wonderful peace of art. Thanks for sharing such a great knowledge.

Man, don't make friends with that supernerd. He always talks about computers non-stop.
by Light Joker October 16, 2004
A supernerd is your stereotypical nerd times ten. He has a bowlcut, gigantic glasses with tape around the nose (from being hit in the face during PE ine too many times), a boyish build, pants that go up to his armpits but fail to cover his ankles, dorky printed button up shirts that are ALWAYS tucked in, tube socks, and loafers. A supernerd is generally scrawny and highly obnoxious. He tends to be an only child with an overly affectionate mother. He enjoys activities such as band, choir, botany, computers, Dungeons and Dragons, and anything else remotely uncool. He tries to fit in, but is always shunned by the 'cool kids'. His longtime crush is naturally the 'Big Man on Campus's girlfriend

Haylie Duff is engaged to her boyfriend Matt Rosenberg, the actress-turned-chef announced Thursday.
"The future Mrs. Rosenberg #Love," Duff posted on Instagram, showing off her new ring.
TV characters we used to hate
"This week has seriously just become the best week of my life! As if announcing The Real Girl's Kitchen TV show wasn't enough, Matt just took me by total surprise and proposed...on April Fool's Day of all days! The moment was genuine and sweet (like him!) and I couldn't wait to say yes!" Duff, 29, added on her blog.
The happy news comes only three months after Duff's younger sister Hilary announced her split from husband Mike Comrie. But the singer is nothing but happy for her sister, sharing her congratulations on Twitter shortly after Duff's announcement. "So happy to not have to keep this news in!!" Hilary wrote, before adding, "Love you guys so much!!!!"

I've got your Stimulating Package right here...
Penis Joke #1: Cram? Stimulus? Package? You know what I'm talking about, right ladies? You don't? Gents?
The first thing I should probably do is point out a common misunderstanding that people who don't read economics blogs all day have: The stimulus is completely different from the bailout. The bank bailouts were meant to pour money into banks that lost everything they had in some sort of madcap Three Stooges style mishap. A bailout of the banks has happened already - in fact, it went so swimmingly well that there'll probably be another one in the not too distant future. Contrast this with an economic stimulus package, which is the government effectively getting out their checkbook and buying shit for everybody (Xboxes if we're lucky). Critically, the stimulus package hasn't happened yet, as you can probably tell by your lack of Xboxes.
Another way to tell the difference between the two is that everyone hates the bailout, because it involves giving money to those Wall Street banker types - a job description that is now customarily said with the same intonation as multiple rapist.As I pointed out a few months ago, there are good reasons for supporting a bailout, notably to prevent banks from failing, and thus throwing us into an economic stone age, where we'll all have dinosaur-related employment and push cars around with our fucking feet. But the bailout remains wildly unpopular because it effectively rewards a bunch of assholes who already make too much money, whine about making too much money and managed to drive the entirety of capitalism off a cliff. Any bailout that doesn't involve bankers being pelted with vegetables is going to be a really tough sell.
Penis Joke #2: Q: How do you hurt a banker? A: Shoot him in the penis.
The stimulus package, on the other hand, should be quite popular, in that it will probably end up creating a few million jobs, and create a whole bunch of useful infrastructures like bridges and prostitution districts. The obvious downside to the stimulus package is its size (800 billion dollars or so) and the fact that there's no actual way of paying for it, other than sending a big I.O.U. to the future, with a note saying "Thanks dude. I'm totally good for it." Of course when the alternative is 25 percent unemployment and bowling with rocks, a bit of debt doesn't look so bad.
But despite its potential for popularity, the stimulus package has had a rough ride as of late, it being subject to a lot of debate in the Senate and all the assorted shrill name-calling that goes on with that. Most of the debate has fallen along the usual party lines, with the Republicans lobbying for more tax cuts in the package, and the Democrats pushing for publicly funded gay marijuana abortion centers, presumably.
One thing you've probably read is how much of the stimulus package will focus on 'shovel ready' projects, those being projects that can get started more or less immediately. The main reason these are given such priority is so the stimulus has an immediate effect. Building a bridge without at least a rough sketch of some sort is apparently considered dangerous by those cry-baby civil engineering types, and if it takes three years to get all your plans and permits in order, your bridge construction will be stimulating the economy three years from now, when things have already hopefully recovered. The downside to shovel ready projects is simple: If a project is just sitting around with plans but no funding, chances are it isn't that useful. If your town's got plans in place to build a Museum of Sexual Deviancy, then your mayor is probably right now trying to get some stimulus money. A fact which chafes some people - prudes, I guess.
Penis Joke #3 While searching for pictures for this article, I found this horse with an awesome name. He's available to stud too, which explains why he has a nicer website than mine.
Beyond that, I don't have the economics background to really dive into the nitty-gritty of the stimulus bill - although neither do any of the politicians voting on it. But as I understand it, the stimulus will do the most good if it's spent (duh), so putting the money where it's going to get spent in a hurry feels like the sanest move. And the fastest places it's going to get spent is by state governments (those guys are so fucking broke) or by building infrastructure projects. I'd put much less priority on other options, like tax cuts, education grants or expanded medical insurance. Although those programs would have the effect of putting money directly or indirectly into the hands of individuals, those individuals would likely put most of it into savings accounts or pay off credit cards. In short, instead of spending your stimulus money on disposable consumer products, you'd tuck it away for a rainy day like some kind of pussy.
Seeing as we can't trust people like you to not do something sensible with your money, infrastructure projects look like the way to go. As an aid to the treasury secretary (I heard he's a fan) here then are my suggestions for infrastructure projects which can be implemented quickly and will have a lasting positive/comedic effect:
Add an extra security lane at the airport.
A separate mass transit system just for homeless people to sleep on.
Backyard pools for everyone.
Leave piles of dirt around town for people to jump cars off of.
Ballpits for adults. Dig up any useless old park and fill the hole with balls.
Public bidets.
A lane on each highway that can only be used by people who really need it.
An Energon Production facility or two, so we can finally lure some Transformers to Earth.
A big net to suspend over the Energon Production facility.

Your TV-B-Gone® universal remote control
resembles other TV remote controls, but is different in two important
ways. First, it only has a power button that allows you to switch a
TV on or off. You control when you see, rather than what you see. Second,
the device is so small that it easily fits in your pocket, so that you
have it handy whenever you need it wherever you go: airports, bars,
restaurants, laundromats, etc.
"You can use TV-B-Gone® to control access to television for philosophical
or practical reasons, or simply to have fun!"
—Mitch Altman, Inventor of TV-B-Gone®
TV-B-Gone is a type of Universal Remote Control which works by shining
pulses of invisible light that tells most any TV to turn off or on. The original
TV-B-Gone keychain works great. The
TV-B-gone Pro SHP
works even better!

Imagine the warm ocean breeze blowing through the palm trees while sultry dance music fills the air. This is exactly the atmosphere your Cuban-themed party should have. Cubans love to dance, from the salsa, rumba and mambo to the cha-cha-cha, and your party guests will love to picture themselves all dressed up and ready to set the floor on fire with a Latin Dancers Photo Stand In. For those who actually are ready dance, set the mood with a Tropicana Palm Tree Arch. Guests will feel as if they've just arrived at a beachfront club in Havana, and they will want to get out on the dance floor to strut their stuff.
There will be music, food and fun at your Havana Nights party, but it's also important to add the thoughtful touches that really set the mood and let guests know you appreciate them. Tickets are a great way to announce your event, invite guests and prepare them for your theme all at the same time. As the party draws to a close, give guests a thank-you gift that will help them remember the fun with a photo frame. Setting the right theme and leaving a lasting impression will make your party the jewel of the Caribbean

I'm a fan of the Browning Buckmark Camper. Pretty straight forward little pistols and mine has been freakishly accurate right out of the box. I actually have managed to ring a steel gong at 200 yards. It has also been completely reliable. All around a great fun and accurate little piece.
November 15, 2012, 03:18 AM
Ruger has a few. The 22/45 and mkIII come to mind, as they are much like the buckmark. If you have a FFL who does not gouge just because something is hard to get the SR22 could be had for under $300. Also less conventional, but I have seen the charger for under $300.
November 15, 2012, 03:36 AM
From personal experience, the following three will put very nearly every round where you aim. All prices are what I found on a quick look today on my LGS website, and have been pretty stable over the past couple of years (when I bought these).
Beretta Neos ($250 at the LGS). Did have some initial jamming problems, but eventually got around to ammo that it likes. Likes its lubrication - more so than the others I've shot methinks. Bulit in Weaver rail that I put an inexpensive red dot on. Simple, simple, simple to take apart and clean.
Ruger 22/45 bull barrel ($280 at the LGS). At times a little finnicky on ammo but again eventually found what it likes (most stuff). Came with a Weaver rail that can be mounted with screws (included). Not the easiest to take apart and clean (and some would consider this a serious understatement).
Ruger SR-22 ($300 at the LGS; was $325 when I bought it - grrrr). Seems to eat anything; I found the looseness of the mags (i.e. the bullets sit kind of in a crooked line in the mag) disconcerting at first, but it always goes bang and with anything I've fed it so far. Easier by far than the 22/45 to take apart; not as easy as the Neos.
Don't have any personal experience with, but have heard OK things about the S&W 22A ($270 at the LGS) and Browning Buckmark ($320 at the LGS).
Your mileage will almost certainly vary.
November 15, 2012, 03:39 AM
Ruger 22/45 MkIII has treated me pretty well.
November 15, 2012, 04:41 AM
Ruger MkIII or 22/45
Browning Buckmark
All excellent pistols. I don't own the SR-22 and can't recommend the Neos, not in the same class as the above.
November 15, 2012, 07:07 AM
What I have observed at my club shoots is that once you get away from Ruger (22/45, MkIII) and the Browning Buckmark, reliability with bulk ammo decreases. CCI Stingers seem to make any pistol run reliably.
Whatever you buy, keep it lubed.
November 15, 2012, 07:29 AM
Cheaper to purchase, cheaper to operate or cheaper overall?
I'd suggest the SR22 as the answer.
Sure others may be cheaper to purchase but require higher cost ammo to operate reliably. Shoot enough and the total cost of ownership of the cheaper gun will soon exceeeds that of the SR22.
IMHO the cost of ammo is a vital factor. You can cover the cost of a gun with the money saved in ammo costs depending on your shooting volume.
November 15, 2012, 10:10 AM
My Neos suffered from the occasional FTF and it was not ammo specific. I don't tend to run anything especially wet but I gave that a go just for fun...no dice. Tore it down, very simple as noted, and had a careful look at the magazines and feed ramp. Using a small round file followed by 600, 800 and 1000 grit I carefully broke the bottom edge of the feed ramp at the barrel throat. Just a tiny, smooth radius and it has run everything since.
It's a neat little pistol but it will require a bit of work including a trigger job (did that at home as well). Those two issues aside, I had to LocTite the rail pins and the magazines could use some sort of base pad for easier insertion (they're slightly recessed).
Most reviews I've read did not mention feed problems or the roll pins walking so I cannot say those are common problems. Mine was purchased for my son (and his brother and sister when they're ready) and is well sized for small hands but does fine with my larger hands. Very accurate and fun to shoot.
November 15, 2012, 10:38 AM
My Ruger MkIII has been a flawless camp pistol. I took it apart once, though. No thanks. I'm just going to do the Gun Scrub method until it NEEDS to be taken apart.
I don't shoot it that much, and it's mostly for padding my range time with cheap ammo.
Still, very nice shooter and compact:)
November 15, 2012, 10:41 AM
Beretta Bobcat. Very dependable over many years. Does not like HP ammo though.
November 15, 2012, 11:20 AM
I have a Beretta Neos that has been very reliable with just about any ammo I have run through. Has a definite preference for CCI MiniMags and Federal Auto Match.
November 15, 2012, 11:28 AM
S&W 422 & 622. Both can be found cheap and they run great.
You can find a Ruger Mk I or Mk II under $300 and they are great.
November 15, 2012, 11:29 AM
Although I typically stay away from Ruger, it's mostly just due to personal preference. Their guns just don't feel right in my hands and I don't like the way they look - but if that doesn't affect you like it does me then the 22/45 is a good, reliable, gun and for the price you can buy it for it's well worth it.
November 15, 2012, 02:15 PM
I've seen Ruger Mark III variants or Browning Buck Mark Campers on sale for right at $299. Either would be hard to beat.
November 15, 2012, 03:55 PM
Browning Buckmark Camper
Ruger .22/45 low end versions
Beretta Neos
In that order and all new in box.
Lotsa stuff on used gun market with a bit of searching
November 15, 2012, 05:36 PM
All good suggestions. What is the general opinion on the S&W 21a. It would fall into this price point
November 15, 2012, 06:18 PM
I enjoy the Buckmark Varmiter though it is sensitive to the ammo that shoots with the tightest groups. When the ammo selection is determined its a great gun.
Im not sure where you will find one under $300. Check out Gunbroker and most are running between $300 and $400 on up to $800
I did see a pro target Buy Now for $305 but they have a short sight radius which adds to the challenge.
November 15, 2012, 07:19 PM
I bought this for 275 at a gun show, scope, mount, and all. :D Accurate is an understatement. I was going to take off the scope, but after shooting, I decided I'd keep it like this for squirrel hunting. :D
November 15, 2012, 07:25 PM
If you want a pocket plinker, academy has some black friday specials....
November 15, 2012, 07:36 PM
Another Buckmark Camper vote here. Mine eats through the Blazer bulk ammo like a trailer park rush at the local Ryan's buffet. More accurate than I'll ever be.
November 15, 2012, 07:52 PM
I have had my S&W 22a for years and no issues with it. fun little gun to shoot, and mine hasn't been picky about ammo.
November 15, 2012, 08:08 PM
I have the Browning Buckmark Camper and the Ruger 22/45, both have bull barrels...great for plinking and paper killing. Both highly recommended. However, I also have Bersa's .22 pistol, which is comparable in size to their Thunder .380; and just as reliable. Taurus has their PT-22, of which I have owned a few. I'm not all that impressed with it...seems a little too cheaply made...just doesn't have the quality of craftsmanship that I prefer. More recently I've started acquiring .22 revolvers. They are a lot of fun too! Good luck making your decision, and let us know what you decide to get, and how you like it. We all have our experience and opinions, but we'd like to hear yours, when the time comes, too.
November 15, 2012, 08:49 PM
For pure/cheap/accurate fun it's my Browning Nomad ($135) and, I love my NAA .22 1 -1/8" barrel lr ($100) 'cause it always goes bang, it's always on me...;)..and my mind knows it. :D
November 15, 2012, 09:33 PM
The Bersa Thunder 22 is an excellent $300 wonder. Well made, all metal, hammer fired, DA/SA. I also have had lots of fun with my Taurus PLY-22. Priced around $225 in Stainless.
November 15, 2012, 10:01 PM
If you can stretch it out another $20 you can get a NIB GSG 1911-22 and it's both a durable and accurate (to-scale) 1911.
If not, the aforementioned suggestions will likewise make for great performance/fun.
November 15, 2012, 10:09 PM
If you want a pocket plinker, academy has some black friday specials....
I'll say there are some deals there--Do they ship firearms (couldn't immediately determine via a brief overview of their web site)?
November 15, 2012, 11:25 PM
I don't believe they do, but they do have a couple of stores in Southern MO.

Greeley-Evans School District 6 leaders didn't have to wait long on Tuesday for the election results to decide the fate of one of their schools.
"I am ecstatic and so happy for this community and its school district," said Doug Lidiak, school board president about ballot Issue 3A, which asked voters for $8.2 million to fund a new school. "But even more so for the opportunity this new school poses for the students and staff of John Evans Middle School."
The issue passed with nearly 59 percent of the vote, and by more than 7,000 votes. With nearly 87 percent of Weld's eligible, active voters casting ballots, the issue was ahead 23,688 votes to 16,671.
The money is matching funds for a state Building Excellent Schools Today grant of nearly $21 million from the Colorado Department of Education. It will go to replace John Evans I.B. Middle School at a new location in west Evans if a couple of other items fall into place.
Last spring, District 6 applied for the BEST grant, which is funded with revenue from state-owned land, to help fund the new school that is 50 years old and in need of major repairs. However, over the summer, the district learned it was second runner-up in the grant process. Bond issues in two other districts must fail for Greeley to get its matching funds this year. It was not immediately clear whether that happened Tuesday night.
Officials are confident they will eventually get the grant.
"I am so grateful to the people of Greeley and Evans for saying yes to their children, " said Ranelle Lang, superintendent. "What a gift this community has given them."
If they don't get the funds this go round, Lang is confident that they will be moved to the top of the list next year because they will be able to tell the state they already have the funds.
If the district never gets the grant, the bonds will not be issued and taxes will not be raised.
