There, i said it. Could you hit something the size of, say, a shipping container with a regular handgun in either 9x19, .45ACP, 10mm or .50AE? This is one of those let-your-imagination-run-free threads. 1k yards with a pistol.

There, i said it. Could you hit something the size of, say, a shipping container with a regular handgun in either 9x19, .45ACP, 10mm or .50AE? This is one of those let-your-imagination-run-free threads. 1k yards with a pistol.
Yes, given a spotter and enough shots.
Anything can be done, but I wouldn't want to be paying for the ammunition I would need to get it done.
Elmer Keith killed a mule deer at 600 yards with a Smith and Wesson .44 Magnum. Took his first four shots to walk them in and then the last two to put the animal down. A mule deer is a heck of a lot smaller than a shipping container but then again, the loads you mentioned, save for the .50AE are not in the same category as the .44 Magnum.
Hehe,talk about holdover,wow.If the round will throw the bullet that far,yeah,sight referencing is the beech.
Southernboy,do you know the grade of Elmer's shot,as in level or downhill?
I do not believe that the exterior ballistics and the trajectory of a .45 ACP bullet would permit a 1,000-yard hit, but I've never tried it.
I have made 200-yard and 300-yard hits with a .45, for instance on a torso-size rock, but I had to "walk them in." Once I learned the correction for the particular rock, I could do it on demand.
1,000 yard hit with a handgun ????? Our Heavenly Father can make any thing possible but He would for sure have to be involved in that shot. As a former Marine Scout/Sniper, that would take some doing if you take into account everything that is involved with a shot at that distance.
I've accomlished 3-hits-for-5-tries on a steel IDPA silhouette at 200 yards with a Glock 34 9mm (stock but for night sights), with the two misses being very close. A shipping container presents a target at least 5 times as large as a silhouette, so I see no reason to call it impossible.
As said above, a spotter would be needed, and I'd also request it be scheduled on a calm/windless day. Having a brushy mountain/hillside rising up behind the target (to provide plenty of alternate aiming points) would also be helpful.
I should try to find a plowed farm field on a cleared quarter-mile section here in ND to try such a thing. A dusty dry-dirt field surrounding the target would allow for spotting misses fairly easily.
EDIT: Even better; a flooded/muddy farm field in the spring! I'll ask a few locals if they know of a place where this could be tried -- safely.
I agree with you about a mountainside or large hill for reference,the sky just doesn't cut it.
You need more than a 1/4 mile though,that's only 440yds.That's a good place to start though.
I wonder about the trajectory of the 45 like Steve,maybe a light hot round but ball is going to nosedive pretty bad.Probably have to use the sun around 2 or 3PM (depending on your lattitude) as an aiming point?Interesting topic though.
I have a very simple answer - no I could not.
In the early 1980's, I managed a shot at 200 meters (that's 656 feet) on a handgun metallic silhouette range. My target was a hanging ram. Missed the first shot and hit on the second. The gun was a Ruger Super Blackhawk three screw, using 240gr JHC Sierra bullets over 23 grains of 240, open sights from a rest.
Nice shot,I had a Super but a New Model.
I vaguely(sp?) recalled that when you said it but I'll be damned if I can remember where I read it also.The reason I asked is I'm sure some don't realize a 400yd shot up or downhill at a 45 degree angle means you're really only shooting 200yds,and alot of those type shots normally end up blowing right over the target.
Thanks for the response though.
I am going to venture the guess that Keith knew what he was talking about and did in fact make that shot at the distance claimed. I would have never taken a shot at a deer much beyond 50 yards with my hunting handguns because I would not want to risk wounding and having to track the animal down. I did take a deer at 45 yards with a Ruger Blackhawk (that's a .357 Magnum and mine had a 6 1/2" barrel). My handload was a Norma JHP over 16 grains of 2400. The bullet did what it was designed to do and pretty much emulsified the major blood vessels at the top of the heart.
Hmmm. Might have been a *teensy* bit optimistic on the difficulty of this task.
Holdover needed will be about 207 feet. Gulp.
4-second flight time to get to 1000 yards.
Years ago while training the Afghan Police in Kabul at the ranges there was an old Russian BMP that sat about 800 meters from the firing line. We would often shoot at it with Beretta 9mm's just to see. The ground was dry and dusty enough that you could walk your shots in. Once you got the holdover right, and it was a lot of holdover, most could hit it on a regular basis.
Granted the round virtually had nothing when it got there but it showed that it could be done.
Well, good to hear it can be done at 4/5ths the distance, under the right conditions.
However, I will note that (according to the chart, above) the drop/holdover doubles when moving from 750 to 1000 yards. :smt107
Cool info,the 45 holdover must be insane!
...Well, for the very furthest you can shoot, you'd have to use an angle of 45° from average horizontal—unless the bullet will enter the stratosphere, in which case 55° worked for the Germans who shelled Paris during WW1.
If you launch a .45 ACP slug at, say, 850fps, and at 45°, I am not convinced that it would even approach 1,000 yards.
DJ Niner, do you want to do that calculation?
That would not surprise me Steve,I can see that bullet almost falling out of the sky shortly after it starts the drop.
It would be cool to see the ballistics for a 45.Years ago I ran into data on popular handgun and rifle calibers that was like this,the longest possibility,but I lost it a long time ago and don't remember where I found it to begin with.


text:
My targets range from photos of Osama Bin Laden to tincans and plastic bottles. I learned to shoot playing 'Skip The Can' and shooting empty ammo casings with BB gun and 22, still do it.
I always try and clean up the forest when I go out, bring back more then I take.

Irish abroad mobilize to return home for gay marriage vote
By Padraic Halpin
DUBLIN (Reuters) - Thousands of kilometers from home, Dubliner Mark Govern watched on in Sydney as Ireland's referendum on gay marriage dominated discussion. Three weeks ago, he made a big decision.
He cleared his bank account, forked out to take extra annual leave from work and bought a A$1,600 ($1,100) return ticket in the hope of helping Ireland do what no other country in the world has done, approve same-sex marriage in a national vote.
"It's a once in a generational chance," said Govern, a gay man who campaigned to extend civil marriage to same-sex couples before he took a career break to move to Australia last August.
"I felt that if this didn't pass and I could have come home and contributed in some way, I'd spend the next 30 years regretting it."
Govern, 31, is one of hundreds or perhaps even thousands of Irish people returning home to vote, according to Joey Kavanagh of Get The Boat 2 Vote, one of a number of groups encouraging Irish men and women abroad to come back and cast their ballot.
More than 180,000 Irish nationals, equivalent to 8 percent of the 2.2 million who voted at the last election, left the country in the four years to the end of April 2014 as Ireland's economic crisis sparked a wave of emigration.
With the economy recovering, some say Friday's vote could decide whether they eventually return for good.
"It depends what kind of Ireland it is. If we're going to keep voting no to these kind of things, I don't know," said Tara O'Donnell, 25, who has booked a flight back from Brussels and knows at least 30 friends and colleagues who have done the same. Continued...

"Because You Left" is the television season premiere of the American Broadcasting Company's fifth season of the serial drama television series Lost. The episode is the 87th episode of the show overall, and was written by executive producers/show runners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse and directed by co-executive producer Stephen Williams. It first aired on January 21, 2009, on ABC in the United States and was simulcast on A in Canada. It aired immediately after a clip-show that recaps the first four seasons and aired back-to-back with the next episode, "The Lie".
In 2007, Jack Shephard and Benjamin Linus start their quest to reunite the "Oceanic 6". Hugo "Hurley" Reyes and Sayid Jarrah are ambushed at their safehouse. Sun-Hwa Kwon is confronted by Charles Widmore. Kate Austen and Aaron Littleton flee from their home after being ordered to submit a maternity test. At the island, James "Sawyer" Ford, Daniel Faraday, Juliet Burke, Charlotte Lewis, Miles Straume, John Locke and the other survivors of Oceanic 815 left on the island erratically jump through time upon the island's move. "Because You Left" averaged 11.347 million viewers in the United States, and received good reviews, praising the writing and the unraveling of new elements.
|This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (September 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The episode begins in the late 1970s, when the Dharma Initiative has begun to build stations on the island. Dr. Pierre Chang (François Chau) begins to film the orientation film for the Arrow Station, when he is informed of an incident at the construction site of the Orchid Station. Upon arriving there, he realizes that the workers have found the "unlimited" energy source that the Dharma Initiative has been looking for, which will enable them to manipulate time. As he leaves the station, he bumps into Daniel Faraday (Jeremy Davies), who is dressed as a Dharma construction worker.
On December 30, 2004, following the island being moved in "There's No Place Like Home", the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815, the freighter team, and Juliet Burke (Elizabeth Mitchell) begin to erratically jump through time, while the Others are unaffected. The first jump takes them to the day when the Beechcraft carrying Mr. Eko's brother crashes onto the island. John Locke is shot in the leg by Ethan Rom (William Mapother), who has not yet met him and therefore does not recognize him. Meanwhile, James "Sawyer" Ford (Josh Holloway), Juliet and the freighter team head to the Swan Station in order to determine when they are. A second jump brings the group forward in time to after the destruction of the station, saving Locke from Ethan in the process. Daniel Faraday likens the experience to a record skipping. Locke is approached by Richard Alpert (Nestor Carbonell), who recognizes Locke and treats his wound. He informs Locke that they will be strangers at their next meeting, and thus gives him a compass to get his younger self to trust Locke. He explains that the only way to stop the erratic movements through time is to bring back everyone who has left the island, and to do that Locke will have to die. Another jump brings them to the past, and they find that the Swan station is now intact. Sawyer tries to contact Desmond Hume (Henry Ian Cusick), who is inside, but Daniel asserts that the past can not be changed, and since Desmond didn't know Sawyer already when they first met (later in Desmond's timeline), Sawyer cannot be successful. No one answers, and everyone heads back to the beach. Daniel stays behind and knocks again, and Desmond emerges dressed in a hazmat suit, thus belying Daniel's original assertion. Daniel tells him that if Desmond's future self and the survivors of 815 make it off the island on the helicopter then he should go to Oxford University and find Daniel's mother, in order to help the survivors. Another jump occurs just before Daniel can give his mother's name.
In 2007, back in Los Angeles, two lawyers deliver a court order to Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly) for a maternity test for her and Aaron, Claire Littleton's (Emilie de Ravin) son, whom Kate is raising as her own, but refuse to reveal their client's identity. In London, while en route to Los Angeles, Sun-Hwa Kwon (Yunjin Kim) is confronted by Charles Widmore (Alan Dale) at the airport. She tells him that she wants to kill Benjamin Linus (Michael Emerson), a desire they seem to have in common. Following Hugo "Hurley" Reyes's (Jorge Garcia) breakout of a mental institution, he and Sayid Jarrah (Naveen Andrews) go to a safehouse, which has been infiltrated by two armed men. Sayid kills the men, but not before one of them shoots him with two potent drugged darts, knocking him unconscious. Meanwhile, Ben and Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox) have left the funeral parlor with Locke's body. They discover that Hurley has broken out, hindering Ben's plan to reunite the Oceanic Six. On a boat in an unknown location, Desmond wakes up, having remembered what Daniel told him, and sets off for Oxford.
Following a writing "mini-camp" to map out the fifth season,[1] the premiere's script was written and filming began on August 19.[2] Show runners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse wrote "Because You Left", and decided to put in the episode a setup for most elements of season 5, specially time travel. In order to avert implementing the time travel in a confusing way, the exposition of Faraday's theories was rewritten to start earlier and be more specific.[3] While previous seasons had been filmed in high definition, this season premiere was the first Lost episode to be edited in it.[4]
Lindelof stated that "When season five starts, you won't know when or where you are. And the way we tell stories will be different too", and confirmed that the "whooshing sound" effect will continue to be used as the transition for the new storytelling device.[5] When asked if episodes continue to focus on specific and different characters, actor Jorge Garcia, who portrays Hurley Reyes, replied that "It's not as clear cut as it's been in the past. We don't have the moments where someone stares off into space and then we cut to something that happened in their previous life. They've gone in a slightly different direction as far as how they're telling the story and they're definitely trying to show what's going on with more people in every given episode."[6] The script included scenes with all the main characters, including Desmond in the ending, because the writers felt that after a long break the audience would like to see every character again. Like the previous three season openers, the opening scene was meant to make viewers "not supposed to have any sense of where and when we are". But while the other premieres had the teaser connecting into the main plot of the episode, the writers decided to put a scene that would only return in the fourteenth episode, "The Variable". The time flashes were designed in a way that demonstrated both the castaways at the beach and John Locke in the jungle were "skipping" to the same time periods,[3] and also to show that time travel was painful for the characters.[7]
In regard to what Lindelof described as "the Zodiac boat with Faraday and the five people that have never spoken a line on show", executive producer/writer/show runner Carlton Cuse said that "I'd be a little bit more worried about the non-line speakers than Faraday", while Lindelof added that "things are looking up for Faraday" and "there is a monsoon coming."[8] Regarding the background survivors in general, Carlton Cuse has responded that there is "a very tragic event that happens this season."[9] According to Lindelof, Neil "Frogurt" (Sean Whalen), a background survivor who has appeared solely in the Lost: Missing Pieces mobisodes,[10] "will rise up this season in the grand tradition of Dr. Arzt [Daniel Roebuck] to let his feelings be known."[11] Sawyer is shirtless throughout the episode. Cuse jokingly justified as that "for people who really couldn't grasp the time travel aspects of the show, there would be Sawyer without his shirt on for the entire hour."[3] His actor, Josh Holloway, kept fit in the summer break before shooting and noted this as "really disturbing. Coming after a hiatus, that ain't fair!"[12]
Release and reception
The fifth season of Lost was promoted with a music video for the song "You Found Me" by The Fray intercut with new Lost scenes and the tagline, "Destiny Calls".[13] Television critic Maureen Ryan of The Chicago Tribune has deemed the latter an "endlessly mockable slogan";[14] Don Williams of BuddyTV gave a more positive review, summing it up as "a fitting way to describe the upcoming season."[15] The staff of TV.com ranked the fifth season first on their "Most Anticipated of Early 2009" list.[16] Christopher Rosen of The New York Observer went so far as to deem the return of Lost a "bigge[r] event" than other happenings in that week, specifically the unveiling of the 81st Academy Awards nominations and the United States presidential inauguration of Barack Obama.[17] "Because You Left", as well as the following episode "The Lie" averaged 11.347 million viewers in the US,[18] and 1.195 million in the UK.[19] The episode, aired by itself, brought in 405,000 Australian viewers.[20] "Because You Left" and "The Lie" were uploaded to ABC's media website—ABC Medianet—on December 29, 2008 to be viewed by members of the press for advance reviews attached to limited confidentiality agreements.[21] "Because You Left" was first broadcast on January 21, 2009 on ABC in the United States and was simulcast on A in Canada,[22][23] back-to-back with the next episode, "The Lie". Before the broadcast was aired "Lost: Destiny Calls", a clip-show recapping the first four seasons.[24] It marked Lost's return to its original timeslot on Wednesdays.[25]
Reviews were positive. James Poniewozik of Time thought that "Because You Left" provided a good balance of characterization and mythology and commended the character of Faraday, partially "because a perfectly-cast Jeremy Davies has turned him into a likeable, flawed, brusque, slightly-in-over-his-head nebbish-god."[26] Matt Mitovich of TV Guide stated that the premiere "offer[s] compelling twists … the foundation is laid for a pivotal penultimate season … it sends the mind reeling and uncorks infinite possibilities."[27] Robert Bianco of USA Today wrote that "it's hard to name a series that is as engaging, surprising and flat-out gorgeous as Lost, or one in which every effort and penny expended seems to be put to shimmering good use. This is an epic big-screen adventure done for the small screen—and done in a way that makes most big-screen versions pale in comparison." Bianco also commended the characterizations, noting them as realistic and compelling.[28] Maureen Ryan of The Chicago Tribune praised the opening sequence, calling it "really, really great … nerd-tastic for [the] hardcore Lost fan; it's full of shout-outs and callbacks to classic Lost moments and trivia." She concluded that the premiere is "quite good" (three and a half out of four stars) with "a lot to like", specifically the expanded screen time for Faraday; however, Ryan expressed difficulty in understanding the use of time (travel) in the show and felt that one to two more viewings were warranted for her to give a better review of that aspect.[29] Verne Gay of Newsday summed up that "The season's premiere represents pig-in-the-python storytelling—there's so much to work through, so many details, stories, characters and time dimensions to attend to, that after a while this all starts to feel like a very full meal. A bloated feeling may result."[30] Among other pieces of praise, Tim Goodman of the San Francisco Chronicle was impressed by the "parallel plotting" of the characters on and off the island in different times.[31] Despite deeming the premiere "riveting" and the script "tantalizing as ever", Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe had a mixed response, for he worried that he would not be able to handle a season's worth of time travel, stating that "I may be alone in this, and I hope I will be proven wrong, but I expected the solution to "Lost" to be more metaphysical, and more original, than simply people being unstuck in time."[32] Alan Sepinwall of The Star-Ledger deemed it "really good, in terms of keeping the momentum from last season going, servicing the characters and their emotions, and providing an appropriate number of 'Whoa's per hour."[33] In a three out of four stars review, Thomas Connor of the Chicago Sun-Times stated that "the time-travel training wheels are coming off—and the path thus far seems blissfully free of the usual stumbling blocks", due to the previous four seasons of "baby steps" that set up the science fiction driven fifth season.[34] Caryn Kunz of the Honolulu Advertiser said that "This was a great episode to get back into every aspect of our favorite show: relationships, mythology, reunions/cameos, and enough whoa moments to keep me on the edge of my seat throughout."[35]
Jeff Jensen of Entertainment Weekly summed up the entirety of the premiere as "pretty cool" and "worth the wait". He wrote that "Lost's tradition of opening the year with a killer, capture-the-imagination sequence is honored and upheld, though the thing I loved most was how it was brazenly frank (and engagingly funny) about the heady high-concept conceit that will define the season."[36] Brian Lowry of Variety concluded that "Lost … approaches its twists with what appears to be a greater degree of intellectual rigor than almost anything else on primetime. Even when it's difficult to keep track of the myriad connections, a sense lingers that somebody knows—which is strangely reassuring."[37] Despite being more interested in the romantic aspirations of the show's characters, Jennifer Godwin of E! remarked that "the Lost mythology is a miracle to behold. It's grandiose, compelling, gaspworthy and, despite what the haters would have you believe, altogether satisfying".[38] Katherine Nichols of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin enjoyed the opening scene, "but the rest of it didn't capture [her] as [she] hoped it would", citing high expectations due to the eight-month hiatus after the fourth season finale and a possible "yearning for more character-driven stories over machinations revolving around time travel, however clever they might be."[39] John Kubicek of BuddyTV said that "the opening scene itself will leave your mouth wide open and you'll probably forget to close it for a few minutes." He also wrote the premiere episodes "are vintage Lost, full of some unbelievable twists and a whole lot of groundwork".[40] H.T. Strong of Ain't It Cool News said that "Because You Left" "is a corker, aggressively advancing the story in all kinds of directions."[41]

I had to call 3 or 4 ranges before I found one that would rent to me without a second person being present. Given that I had just moved to a new city and growing up in NYC, I had never had any friends that were gun owners.
The gun that the range suggested I rent after telling them I had never touched a handgun? A DA/SA P229. Why not something as simple as a glock I'll never know. Because the principles of avoiding hurting yourself are very simple nothing bad happened, though I'm not sure what I would have done had it jammed.
I was listing two separate points:
One: A Glock is a more simple weapon to operate than a DA/SA SIG. I think this is indisputable.
Two: Someone who has never touched a gun before does not know how to clear a jam. I knew nothing of squib loads, hang fires, stovepipes, double feeds, limp wristing, etc.
That's a crappy rule! What if someone is just getting into guns and wants to try one out before making a purchase? This leaves the novice high and dry!!! Not a good way to win converts!
"First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand."

Besides, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with novices to shooting alone.

Ok your age? What was your demeanor like when you entered the range? Maybe there was something you said? or actions that raised a red flag to them? I'm just asking these questions because something about you tipped them into not letting you rent their inventory.
Why Waltz when you can Rock-N-Roll
New Albany and the Powder Room have had suicides. They really do thier best to keep the range as safe as possible while keeping it as fun as possible. Unlike the powder room you can shoot magnums and high power rifles there. Neither New Albany nor the powdre room has a shotgun facility either. It can be an pain with the no lone shooter and no gun person wanting to shoot but I have seen many people go out on the range supervised by RSO's so they are not alone as part of what is called a test drive. If you are interested in a gun and it is in the rental counter or a used gun that they can allow to be fired you may request a test drive. 5.00 plus tax for five rounds covers the RSO, a target, the gun, eye/ear protection to see if you like a gun rather than the 20.00 for range time which is for however long you are there not by the half hour. You may be able to do multiple tests to figure out what you like depending on staffing and how busy they are. BTW there isnt a glock 20 to rent in thier counter. Hope that helps.
I really don't see why people are so down on this. At least one of the two local ranges has this rule and they have had at least one suicide by rental. I wonder if those that are against this rule would change their tune if they had to witness, clean up or have this happen in their range. Or would they just shrug it off and go on with business as usual?
My father-in-law says a number of ranges in his area have closed up shop because of suicides.
It is stated on their site. Ohio's Best Pistol & Rifle Indoor Shooting Range » Black Wing Shooting Center
You aren't even allowed on the range.
Our House Is Protected By The Good Lord And A gun. You Might Meet Both Of Them If You Show Up Inside My House Uninvited.
The local range I shoot at has this policy, too. I understand it. It's a business/liability issue and I'm fine with it.

Here in Vegas it happen once a month at the tourist rental ranges. The link is one of the most noteable for Denver, CO:

It does not take a majority to prevail but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men!

About John Eager Howard, Col.
John Eager Howard
John Eager Howard (June 4, 1752 – October 12, 1827) was an American soldier and politician from Maryland. He was elected as governor of the state in 1788, and served three one-year terms. He also was elected to the Continental Congress, the Congress of the United States and the U.S. Senate.[2] He was born in and died in Baltimore County.[2][3] Howard County, Maryland, is named for him.[3]
He was the son of Cornelius Howard and Ruth (Eager) Howard, of the Maryland planter elite and was born at their plantation "Belvedere," which he inherited after their deaths. Howard grew up in an Anglican slaveholding family. Anglicanism was the established church of the Chesapeake Bay colonies.
Howard joined the Baltimore lodge of Freemasonry and eventually became a Brother.[3]
Commissioned a captain at the beginning of the American Revolutionary War, Howard rose in 1777 to the rank of colonel in the Continental Army,[2] fighting in the Battle of White Plains and in the Battle of Monmouth. He was awarded a silver medal by Congress for his leadership at the 1781 Battle of Cowpens,[2] during which he commanded the 2nd Maryland Regiment, Continental Army.[4] In September 1781, he was wounded in a bayonet charge at the Battle of Eutaw Springs.[5]
Following his army service, Howard held several electoral political positions: elected to the Continental Congress of 1788; Governor of Maryland for three one-year terms, 1788 through 1791; State Senator from 1791 through 1795; and Presidential Elector in 1792. He declined the offer from President George Washington in 1795 to be Secretary of War. He joined the Federalist Party and was elected to the 4th Congress from November 30, 1796, through 1797 as a United States Senator for the remainder of the term of Richard Potts, who had resigned. He was elected for a Senate term of his own in 1797, which included the 5th Congress, the 6th Congress of 1799-1801 during which he was President pro tempore, and the 7th Congress, serving until March 3, 1803.[2]
After 1803, Howard returned to Baltimore, where he avoided elected office but continued in public service and philanthropy as a leading citizen.[6] In the 1816 presidential election, he received 22 electoral votes for Vice President[3] as the running mate of Federalist Rufus King, losing to James Monroe and Governor Daniel Tompkins. No formal Federalist nomination had been made, and it is not clear whether Howard, who was one of several Federalists who received electoral votes for Vice President, ran as a candidate for the office.
Although Howard was offered an appointment as the Secretary of War in the administration of President George Washington, he declined it. Similarly, he declined a 1798 commission as Brigadier General during the preparations for the coming Quasi-War with France.[2]
John Eager Howard married Margaret ("Peggy") Chew, daughter of the Pennsylvania justice Benjamin Chew.[3] Their first son, George Howard,[3] was born on November 21, 1789 in Jennings House during Howard's term as Governor.
Howard developed the property "Waverley" at Marriottsville, Maryland for George. George Howard became a politician and was elected as governor forty years after his father's term, and four years after his death.[citation needed] Their second son, Benjamin Chew Howard, was also a prominent politician in Maryland, elected for four terms in the U.S. Congress.[3] A grandson, Francis Key Howard, was a notable figure in Maryland at the start of the American Civil War.
John Eager Howard is buried at the Old Saint Paul's Cemetery, located between West Lombard Street and present-day Martin Luther King Boulevard in Baltimore.[2]
- Howard County, Maryland, formed out of western Anne Arundel County and southeastern Frederick County in 1839 as the Howard District and officially as Howard County in 1851, was named for him.[3][7]
- In 1904, the city commissioned an equestrian statue of Howard by the eminent French sculptor Emmanuel Frémiet and installed it at Washington Monument circle facing south overlooking at Washington Place Square of North Charles Street, Baltimore.[3]
- Howard is one of several notable men of Maryland mentioned in the state song "Maryland, My Maryland" written in 1861 by James Ryder Randall; the phrase "Howard's war-like thrust" refers to him.

The following essay is taken from Frank F. White, Jr., The Governors of Maryland 1777-1970 (Annapolis: The Hall of Records Commission, 1970), 17-19.
"JOHN EAGER HOWARD, Maryland's first Federalist Governor, military hero, politician, patriot, and public servant, was born at 'The Forrest,' in Baltimore County on June 4, 1752, the son of Cornelius and Ruth (Eager) Howard. His ancestor, Joshua Howard, had received a grant of land in Baltimore County about 1685, and his family had subsequently added to these holdings. His father was a man of sufficient wealth to enable the future governor to secure a good education under private tutors.
"When the Revolutionary War began, he was commissioned a captain in the 'Flying Camp.' While he was with this organization, he fought at White Plains, following which his term of service expired. Howard then became a major in the Fourth Regiment While he was with that unit, his troops performed superbly at the battle of Germantown in October 1777. In 1778, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Fifth Regiment and in the following year he transferred to the Second Regiment. Participating in the fighting at Camden, he gained a reputation for his ability, while for heroism at Cowpens, he received a silver medal and the grateful thanks of Congress. At Guilford Court House and Hobkirk's Hill, he distinguished himself as an outstanding officer, and at Eutaw Springs on September 8, 1781, he was severely wounded, after which he resigned his commission and returned home, leaving his mark as an outstanding military leader.
"Howard, in the meantime, had begun courting Peggy Oswald Chew, the daughter of Chief Justice Benjamin Chew of Pennsylvania. They were married on May 18, 1787. The couple had a large family, all of whom distinguished themselves in Maryland affairs. One of these was the future governor, George Howard, who was born in the Government House in Annapolis during his father's term of office.
"After the war, John Eager Howard entered politics. In 1785, he became a justice of the Baltimore County Court, holding the post for three years. In the following year, he was a senatorial elector from Baltimore County as well as a justice of the Baltimore County Orphans' Court. During 1787 and 1788, he represented Maryland in the Continental Congress.
[p.26] "On November 21, 1788, he was elected Governor succeeding William Smallwood. Up to that time, no state governor had ever belonged to a political party, so Howard became a member of the Federalist party, and for the rest of his life, he would be a firm and staunch supporter of its principles. During his first term, the U. S. Constitution became operative and Maryland's presidential electors cast their ballots for George Washington. During the session of November, 1788, the State ceded a ten-mile square tract of land to the newly formed national government for the site of a national capital. Another act of the same session provided for the granting of bounty lands to the west of Fort Cumberland to the former officers and soldiers who had served during the Revolution.
"Howard was re-elected to his second term on November 16, 1789. During his second year in office, Maryland ratified the Bill of Rights. In addition, Allegany County was erected out of Washington County, while another piece of legislation provided for the payment of the State debt within six years.
"He was re-elected to his third and last term on November 8, 1790, during which the General Assembly passed several important acts. One of these provided for Samuel Smith and others to establish the Bank of Maryland. Another granted Charles Ridgely Carnan permission to change his name to Charles Ridgely in accordance with Capt. Charles Ridgely's will. A third act directed the time, place and manner of holding congressional elections and the choosing of presidential electors. A final act granted commissions to the justices of the county courts in each district. As the result, when George Plater succeeded Howard as governor on November 14, 1791, he saw the State government firmly in operation under the new Federal Constitution.
"Howard, however, did not end his political career when he vacated the gubernatorial office. In September 1791, just as his term was about to expire, he was chosen a member of the State Senate, and was re-elected in 1796. During this period, he was chosen a presidential elector casting his vote for George Washington and John Adams in 1792. In the following year, he became a Commissioner of the City of Baltimore, a position which involved the planning of the city stockyards and the purchasing of lands for a marketplace. In 1795, George Washington offered him the post of Secretary of War, but Howard felt it his duty to decline.
"In 1796, Richard Potts resigned his seat in the United States Senate, following which the General Assembly selected Howard to fill Potts' unexpired term. In the following year, he was elected for a full term, continuing to serve until 1803, during which time he faithfully supported the policies and programs of the Federalist Party. During the difficulties with France in 1798, Howard was offered a commission as Brigadier General, but since the crisis had passed, he felt it unnecessary to accept the commission.
"After his senatorial term ended, he preferred retirement to private life. Yet, he continued to be active in public life. In 1804, he was appointed Commissioner of the State Penitentiary, a post which included the prepara- [p. 27] tion of a new prison. He was nominated three additional times for terms as governor, but the Legislature failed to elect him. He served on Baltimore's Committee of Supply during the War of 1812, assisting in the raising of money and supplies for defense. Howard remained a force in the Federalist Party politics until 1816, when that party named him as its vice presidential candidate on the ticket with Rufus King. Both were soundly defeated following which the Federalists ceased to be a force in State politics.
"After his last unsuccessful political campaign, Howard retired to his home at 'Belvedere' which he had built in 1786, making it a center of hospitality, elegance, and grandeur. He spent his last years as a retired elder statesman, contributing land to the City of Baltimore for public purposes. Howard lived until 1827. However, his health had been failing for some time. Early in October of that year, he caught a severe cold and died on the twelfth. Many prominent leaders attended his funeral including President John Quincy Adams, all of whom accompanied his body to its burial in Old St. Paul's Cemetery. In compliance with his will, no inventory was made of his estate.1 He further desired that his personal and real estate should be sold by his executors at a public or private sale, but he bequeathed his real property to his sons.

text: School district tax is not the answerEditor:Just ask any Northwestern School District resident if they would vote for their school district income tax again and you'll get all the reasons that no one in Green Local should even think about enacting a school district tax.I am a tax preparer and I happen to live in the Green Local School District. I have always been a supporter of our schools and I will continue to be. No matter what level of government federal, state or the local school board, eventually they discover the never-run-dry well of income tax. Instead of budgeting the way normal families have to budget (making the month fit the money) government bureaucracy just increases revenues through more income taxes.When was the last time you walked into your boss's office and said, "It looks like my budget is going to be really tight this year so you have to give me a raise?" When he stopped laughing he would probably tell you to "go fix your budget!"I know the board has been working hard on the budget and perhaps we do need more revenue for the schools. But a school district tax is not the answer! A school district tax is levied on every penny of income that is taxable to the IRS and Ohio. This means if you sell stocks, land, win the lottery, or have any gains, you will pay school district tax on them.Also, if your paycheck feels small now, it will only get smaller. The school tax is another subtraction from you pay. The elderly in Smithville are not exempt from this tax either so they will be adversely affected.Once the school district tax is put in place, it is one of the hardest taxes to remove, in fact, if you ask Northwestern residents, it's impossible to get rid of. At least we have a life expectancy on a real estate levy. The board knows this fact well, as evidenced by Mr. Baer's statement in Monday's (Feb. 7) Daily Record. Mr. Baer said an income tax "would create a more far-reaching and long-term solution to our financial situation than a property tax." Yes, too far-reaching and too long-term my point exactly. Smithies, please don't letthis proposal even get on the ballot!Terry SustarOrrville(Green Township)

Last Chance Foods: Make Hummus Like a Pro
As a snowstorm comes barreling down on the Northeast, many New Yorkers will be spending some quality time indoors this weekend. For those with a can or bag of chickpeas languishing in the pantry, here's a good task to while away some time: Peel those chickpeas and make hummus.
That's what New York Times writer Melissa Clark and The Smitten Kitchen's Deb Perelman recommend for making the creamiest hummus.
"My quibble with most of the homemade hummus I was making was the texture — it just was not creamy and fluffy enough," said Perelman, author of The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook. "For me, the transformation didn't come until I started peeling my chickpeas."
Perelman noted that it took her a mere 9 minutes to peel one 15-ounce can of chickpeas. Melissa Clark took issue with the last part of that statement and insists that using dried and home-soaked chickpeas is the way to go for the best hummus.
"I mean, the canned ones are fine and I'll use them when I add a ton of garlic, and a ton of lemon, and a ton of tahini, so the chickpeas are kind of just pulling everything together," said Clark, author of Cook This Now. "For me, if I really want to taste the chickpeas, I stand by the homemade ones."
While both agreed that peeling the beans made a noticeable difference, they diverged whether on whether soaking or the shucking made the most difference. "I'd rather not peel [them] and use dried chickpeas that I cook myself than peel the canned," asserted Clark.
Perelman, on the other hand, said that she doesn't mind using canned beans as long as she can find good ones.

"So I love soaking my own beans, I think that there is a flavor improvement," she said. "However I also feel that if you've got a source of canned beans that are really great... So many times I buy what I think is going to be a good brand and it's mealy and falling apart and really gross. I have found actually one of the least expensive brands, Goya, to have one of the most reliable beans. And so it's really about what you're buying. And I find them to be quite close to home-soaked."
Both agree that the actual task of peeling the chickpeas is not particularly arduous, and can even be a little meditative. "It feels good. It's like a little sauna bath for your hands," said Clark, who says the process is easier if the beans are warm.
Perelman also noted that it was worthwhile to her to spend the time peeling. "I find it therapeutic, too," she said. "I mean, I spend 9 minutes on Facebook probably more than once a day, so the idea of spending 9 minutes, like, popping [isn't so bad]."
Ultimately, though, peeling one pound of dried chickpeas that have been soaked will take a significantly longer time. Clark said the process took her and a friend about 30 minutes.
Having companionship is key to making the task less tedious. "Traditional societies have been peeling chickpeas for millennia," she said. "I mean, this is a traditional method of preparation because it's done in a group."
And in the realm of tedious kitchen tasks, peeling chickpeas is comparatively manageable.
"I knew a chef who only served peeled peas," Clark said. "He would peel each green pea, and he even said to me once, 'People are not nice people if they don't peel peas.' And I'm thinking I'm never peeling a green pea."
What's the most tedious culinary prep work you've undertaken? What will you never do again? Tell us in the comments below. Also, try Melissa Clark and Deb Perelman's recipes for hummus, both of which are below.
Small-Batch Hummus
by Melissa Clark
Makes about 2 cups
- 1 cup dry chickpeas, soaked overnight
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, more as needed
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin, more as needed
- Coarse sea salt, as needed
- Cayenne, optional
- Radishes, fennel, cucumbers, crisp pita bread, for dipping
1. Drain the chickpeas. Combine chickpeas, 6 cups water, bay leaf, and a very large pinch of salt. Simmer chickpeas, skimming off any foam from the surface, until they are very tender, about 1 hour. Drain, reserving cooking liquid. If you feel like peeling the chickpeas while they are still warm and feel good pressed in between your fingers, go ahead. Or skip it and don't bother. It's great either way.
2. In a food processor, combine chickpeas (try to do this while they are still warm, they will be grind into a smoother hummus if you do, or reheat before pureeing), 1/2 cup cooking liquid (also warm is good here), 1/3 cup oil, tahini, lemon juice, salt, garlic, and cumin until smooth. Add more cooking liquid if you like a thinner hummus.
3. Spread hummus on a plate. Drizzle liberally with oil and season with coarse salt, cumin, and cayenne, if desired. Serve with veggies or pita bread.
Ethereally Smooth Hummus
by Deb Perelman
Recipe adapted from Ottolenghi's stunning new dream of a book; technique is my own madness
This is probably where you expect me to give you a soapbox speech about why it is so important that you soak your own chickpeas. And you know, think they taste wonderful, especially if you treat yourself to some of the best. But, I also make it with canned chickpeas quite often (Goya is my favorite, for perfectly cooked, intact canned beans, each time) and it's perfectly excellent. Below, I've included instructions for both.
Makes 1 3/4 cups hummus
- 1 3/4 cups cooked, drained chickpeas (from a 15-ounce can) or a little shy of 2/3 cup dried chickpeas (for same yield)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (for dried chickpeas only)
- 1/2 cup tahini paste
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, or more to taste
- 2 small cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 3/4 teaspoon table salt, or more to taste
- Approximately 1/4 cup water or reserved chickpea cooking water
- Olive oil, paprika or sumac, pita wedges (brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with za'atar, or a combination of sesame seeds and sea salt), and/or carrot sticks [optional] to serve
If using dried chickpeas: There are multiple methods to cooking them, and you can use whichever is your favorite, or Ottolenghi's, or mine. Ottolenghi's is to put the chickpeas in a large bowl and cover them with at least twice their volume of cold water, leaving them to soak overnight. The next day, drain them, and saute them in a medium saucepan with the baking soda (which many find reduces the gassy effects of fresh beans) for about three minutes. Add 3 1/4 cups water and bring it to a boil. Skim any foam that floats to the surface. They'll need to cook for 20 to 40 minutes, sometimes even longer, depending on freshness, to become tender. When tender, one will break up easily between your thumb and forefinger. My method is similar, but I often put mine in a slow-cooker on high with the baking soda for approximately three hours, so I don't have to monitor them as much.
Drain the chickpeas (saving the chickpea broth for soups or to thin the hummus, if desired) and cool enough that you can pick one up without burning your fingers.
Whether fresh or canned chickpeas: Peel your chickpeas. I find this is easiest when you take a chickpea between your thumb and next two fingers, arranging the pointy end in towards your palm, and "pop!" the naked chickpea out. Discard the skin. I get into a rhythm and rather enjoy this, but it's also already established that I'm a weirdo.
In a food processor, blend the chickpeas until powdery clumps form, a full minute, scraping down the sides. Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic and salt and blend until pureed. With the machine running, drizzle in water or reserved chickpea cooking water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you get very smooth, light and creamy mixture. I find I need about 4 tablespoons for this volume, but you may need slightly more or less.
Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt or lemon if needed. I do recommend that you hold off on adding more garlic just yet, however. I find that it "blooms" as it settles in the fridge overnight, becoming much more garlicky after a rest, so that even if it doesn't seem like enough at first, it likely will be in the long run.
Transfer the hummus to a bowl and rest it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, longer if you can. To serve, drizzle it with a little olive oil, and sprinkle it with paprika. Serve it with pita wedges or carrot sticks.

This is what happens when a boat, even a large well built one like a Lagoon, grounds on a reef or rocks. Again, why isn't boater education and/or licensing required for everyone who wants to drive a non-human powered boat? Nina, who is pretty new to boating, took the Maryland required class and passed with flying colors the first time.
Unfortunately these people had just boat the boat at the Annapolis Sailboat Show in October, a first time purchase. Who in their right mind STARTS with a 45 FOOT CAT?! A 45 foot cat would be intimidating to ME on a maiden voyage and I have a 100ton Master (commercial license) and 32 years of boating experience.
Damn, we're aground and not sure what to do!
Oh, we'll try to tow it off the reef!
Uh oh! Get her into deeper water and she seems to be sitting a bit lower than her water line!
Better get the emergency pumps going!
Four large pumps running at full pace, yet she seems to be sitting even lower. Not good!
Ugh, I think we're in trouble!
Yup, no doubt abut it, we're in deep trouble!
Going down? First floor, hardware, software, and ladies lingerie!
Even with 5 large emergency pumps running, still not enough.
But we have a plan and will get her refloated!
That's a little better!
Airbag suspension, a VERY expensive one.
Hauling her out to look at the damage.
Meh, that'll buff right out.
Or maybe not.

Can I Be Your Friend? Simple Question, Tough To Ask In Person [VIDEO]
Many of us use Facebook on a daily basis to keep in touch with friends and family. Many of us have "friends" in our friends list that we don't necessarily know. Would you go up to some random stranger on the street and ask them to be your friend? Would you go to a random stranger's house and ask to write on their wall? Probably not. So why would you do it online? Check out this video to see what would happen if you actually did everything in real life that you do online.

Widely acclaimed as the greatest Western ever made, Lonesome Dove has become a true American epic. Larry McMurtry's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel was a New York Times best seller, with more than 2.5 million copies currently in print. The Lonesome Dove miniseries has drawn millions of viewers and won numerous awards, including seven Emmys.
A Book on the Making of Lonesome Dove takes you on a fascinating behind-the-scenes journey into the creation of the book, the miniseries, and the world of Lonesome Dove. Writer John Spong talks to forty of the key people involved, including author Larry McMurtry; actors Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Angelica Huston, Diane Lane, Danny Glover, Ricky Schroder, D. B. Sweeney, Frederic Forrest, and Chris Cooper; executive producer and screenwriter Bill Wittliff; executive producer Suzanne de Passe; and director Simon Wincer. They and a host of others tell lively stories about McMurtry's writing of the epic novel and the process of turning it into the miniseries Lonesome Dove. Accompanying their recollections are photographs of iconic props, costumes, set designs, and shooting scripts. Rounding out the book are continuity Polaroids used during filming and photographs taken on the set by Bill Wittliff, which place you behind the scenes in the middle of the action.
Designed as a companion for A Book of Photographs from Lonesome Dove, Wittliff's magnificent fine art volume, A Book on the Making of Lonesome Dove is a must-have for every fan of this American epic.

text: ok here is what i have so far.. will be here thrusday.. i ordered the onkyo tx-nr616 avr, i also ordered the new svs pb1000 sub woofer. i also order the klipsch quintet 5 surround speakers. i know i am going to be missing a spectrum there of about 80hz to 120hz. but the guy at svs informed me it would be ok and sound amazing with what i have .. i didnt have a ton of money and researched and bought the best i could afford. now saying that i have a couple hundred bucks left and have run across a set of Klipsch Synergy F10 floor speakers for 100 bucks!!. they are a bit older but not dinosours yet. what would i gain by buying these and using these as front speakers and then using the 2 extra quintets i would end up having extra as the surrounds as a 7.1 setup! would it make a huge difference by doing this. and is it going to sound ok if i dont buy those synergy f1 speakers? thanks steve

400 Watt High Pressure Sodium light
What I would like to know is if my 30 amp 120V electrical outlet box, using only the plug from an 400 Watt High pressure light bulb and going through a digital ballast be enough amps for it.
A 400 watt HPS will need somewhere around 4 amps at 120.
30 amp. 110 volt outlet:eek:
General lighting/receptacles cannot be on a 30A circuit.
400 watt HPS light
I would like to thank all that replyed
Also let me add this info along the way with 400 watt HPS ballast you will have to double check the ballast connection on the primary ( incomming ) side to use the correct tap due some of the ballast are mulit voltage unit which it mean it can run few differnt voltage so therefore it can run 120,208 ,240,277 volts ( some case 480 volts )
Also if any taps are not used please make sure they are wirenutted or shrinktube on it to prevent any short.
And double check the ballast info for the correct lamp as well ( make sure they are matched up )

This is the third of a multi-part series highlighting the new additions to the Tennessee men's basketball team. In this edition of "Hello My Name Is...", Vol hoops chat with junior center Rawane 'Pops' Ndiaye.
Q: You've lived all over the world, tell us a little about that and some interesting facts/best things about some of those places? A: "I lived in Africa, the States, and I've lived in France. The amazing thing about Africa is everyone's amazing spirit. It's definitely a fun place. There are a lot of things to learn and discover there."
Q: We hear you like to dress up spiffy and step out every now and then. Tell us about your suit game. A: "(laughs) I mean I have a pretty nice suit game. But it's nothing special, you know. You just have to wear the European style."
Q:What other sports did you play growing up, and what positions did you play in each? A: "I played soccer. I was a great defender and goalie."
Q: When did you start playing basketball? A: "I started playing basketball about four years ago. I started playing because of my height. Some people saw me and said I really should try playing."
Q: What current NBA big man do you enjoy watching? A: "Tim Duncan. He is just so skilled around the basket, has a soft touch around the glass, and knows how to use his body in the post."
Q: Did you have any professional athletes you idolized growing up? A: "It would be soccer. I used to love watching Ronaldinho and Iker Casillas from Real Madrid. Casillas was a goalkeeper like I was so that really inspired me."
Q: What are your early impressions of Tennessee so far?
A: "I love the atmosphere here. Everyone is really friendly. I just love it. I love the coaching staff and my teammates. We have a good spirit about us. I'm looking forward to the start of the season."
Q: What made you choose Tennessee over the other schools recruiting you? A: "This ended up being my best visit because everyone was straightforward and truthful with me. I love the team chemistry that we have. The coaching staff is all about hard work and dedication."
Q: What do you hope to bring to the Vols this season? A: "I want to do whatever I can, whatever coach wants me to do. I want to be a role model for the whole team."
Q: You had a cousin that played at North Carolina in the 90's. Have you received any advice from him on playing basketball at Tennessee? A: "He always tells me to just do what I am supposed to do. Get in the gym and get extra shots up and play hard. You want to make sure everyone respects you."
Q: Do you have any hidden talents that most people aren't aware of? A: "I'm a funny guy. People don't usually expect that."
Q: Who has been the most influential person in your life? A: "My high school coach from Dallas. He really made an impact on my life. He is like a father to me. He has shown me everything. He has always been there for me. He showed me how to be a man and do things on my own. In addition, my junior college coaches really helped me out."

Don't underestimate the chemical power of waste and sh*t (I think I've just been bleeped!)
In Manchester, UK, United Utilities and National Gridhave teamed up in building a plant producing biomethane from wastewatersludge. The plant will soon power up a small town of about 5,000 homesas well as fleet of sludge trucks.
The GBP4.3 million ($7.1m)project will be operational by early 2011, and involves installing theupgrade equipment, a gas compression and fuelling station, plus apipeline to link into the local gas distribution network.
United Utilities said one of its sludge tankers has already been converted to run on diesel and compressed biomethane gas.
In California, USA, EnerTech Environmental commissioned its first ever biosolids-to-renewable energy SlurryCarb™ facility, that will generate 60,000 tons of fuel called E-fuel from over 270,000 wet tons of biosolids per year.
The E-Fuelproduced by the facility is already being used by Southern Californiacement kilns to offset their coal use and will reduce annual localgreenhouse gas emissions by over 80,000 tons.
EnerTech said biosolids (processed sewage sludge) in the US are produced at over 7 million tons each year.
In Brazil, engineering company ARCADISopened its third landfill gas (LFG) plant near Rio de Janeiro namedNovo Gramacho. The new plant will consolidate the leading marketposition of Biogas, a company in which ARCADIS Logos holds 33%.
NovoGramacho has been developed to collect and burn the methane gas emittedin the Gramacho landfill where 2.4 million tons of urban waste has beenburied every year for the last 30 years.
Finally, a post from New York Times Green Inc. blogtalked about the power of chicken droppings, which can be convertedinto biochar fertilizer (highly porous charcoal made from organicwaste), biogas, and bio-oil, using the process called pyrolysis.
"With30,000 chicken farms in the United States alone, the market for thistechnology could be ripe for the picking — particularly given thatAmerican consumers, over the last several decades, have been eatingmore and more chicken."

Stussy: Second one is better, and the ' on the left looks better than on the right, imo.
TJK: The T in the first one is sick, but in both the R, E, and S need some serious work, there isn't much flow. If you keep the T like that, I would suggest making the whole throw like this shape: ^, starting off small on the sides and getting taller in the middle.
@jeva - that last one is so sick!!
some quick new throws crits?
crust- straighten out your c other wise itss nice
jeva- good, but fix ur J it looks too much like an l
Stussy- Thanks i pm'd u urs
Rest- fix your holes on the R and E
ASK- dope
any better?
Emediation I think it's getting a lot better. The whole overlettering thing isn't consistent though. it just kinda makes it look sloppy, in my opinion.
TJK I hate it. It just bothers me for some reason.
Stussy Digging that, I just hate how it's done in pen. It'd look a hundred times better with marker.
TECKN Please be kidding. That thing is ugly as fuck.

It appears the Mac Book that was allegedly stolen from pop star Justin Bieber during Tuesday's tour stop at the Tacoma Dome has changed hands yet again.
Local comedian Aaron Flett, a.k.a. Riggs, says he purchased the computer - which still brandishes stickers reading "Bieb's laptop: Hands off!!!" - through Craig's List. Riggs said he met up with "a couple of bearded guys with gauge earrings" who were eager to get rid of the device after round-the-clock harassment about its contents.
"They said 12-year-old girls were calling their bar all day, squealing and then hanging up," Riggs said. "And I guess TMZ showed up and started harassing customers. So they gave me a sweet deal just to get rid of it."
Having read about the fallout from Bieber's laptop theft prank, Riggs searched the hard drive looking for evidence to substantiate his suspicions: that the "hoax" story was cover to keep anyone finding the computer from realizing they'd found anything they could sell to the tabloids.
Riggs alluded to a number of strange items he'd found including to a slideshow of "Instagrammed" photos depicting someone with an uncanny resemblance to the teen idol "Tebowing" in front of various landmarks, including the Space Needle, the Museum of Glass and Bob's Java Jive, locally.
"It's a weird angle on that last one," Riggs said. "But that sure as hell looks like the guy. And then there's this thing labeled 'beard photos' that caught my eye.'"
He opened the folder and double-clicked its contents, a single head shot of pop star Selena Gomez. "I have no idea what that means," Riggs said. "But I guess I got a cool laptop to use over at Grit City Comedy."
(Editor's note: While the people depicted in these "Biebergate" stories are quite real - blah, blah, blah - you know the rest. But in real "news," Tacoma not be the only place where a false police report may have been filed about the pop star. )
