Leadership is the ability to motivate a group towards a common goal. It involves creating the vision, setting the direction and inspiring others to make extraordinary things happen.
The Advanced Leadership Program builds leaders who want to improve themselves, empower people, grow their organization, and succeed in the competitive environment in which they operate, while enhancing social corporate responsibility.
This program challenges participants to become more strategic, innovative, motivational, and to be a valued contributor to the bigger organizational picture. The program is designed for individuals who are, or have the potential to be, recognized as leaders in their organizations. Participants should have experience at a management level and have already acquired technical and management skills.

"I completed the Advanced Leadership Program because I wanted to further advance my career. Updating my education I thought was the way to go.The ALP is a very well delivered program and I really enjoyed it. The instructors were top notch and presented in-depth seminars based on their area of expertise. The presentation of the ALP in four modules spread over a period of time was beneficial as it allowed participants to learn new practices and then apply them to work before the next module. The local guest speakers were very interesting and provided participants with relevant, real life examples of leaders and leadership. I feel I now have a good, diverse "tool-box" of principles and practices that I can apply daily. The Gardiner Centre did a very good job at presenting the program, and I will be back to take more programs in the future."

Good purchase. I just noticed on Bud's that they dropped the price of the cheaper version of the P9....they're selling the CW9 for $366 delivered. You'll never find one new at that price and you'd also be hard pressed to find one used for that low. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/p...ducts_id=18442
I'll bet Kahr is forced to bring the price of their guns down in the next year due to all the new slim-line competition that's being introduced into the market.
Congrats. You'll love it... I love mine. It carries very easy and shoots well.
+2 on the grip sleeve. I like the qwik grip # 3, no finger grooves and it fits perfect.
Visit kahrtalk, they have a sticky, on break-in and lubing, that might be helpful.

I have the pm9. It's a sweet shooter. I've had no problems with it at all. Just cleaned it when new, oiled the slide rails, racked it manually about a hundred times or so, then fired a whole bunch of rounds through it. I carry it pocket sometimes but prefer IWB in my highnoon tuckable.
Another Happy Kahr owner, P45 and PM9 for me. I carry them Every day. PM9 perfect right out of the box, not so with the P45, extractor. 5 days after I sent it back to Kahr it was back in my hands and has been Perfect since, they even installed a set of night sights on it for free, of course after a phone call to see if it was alright, it has been perfect since, over 1000 rds.
Enjoy your P9
Well I just got back from putting my 1st 300 rounds down range with 0 failures! It took me a couple mags to find my groove, get used to the sights, and adjust to the recoil difference (used to G19). My 1st impression, and I am confident it will stay the same is that is a GREAT weapon! Now that I've broken it in, I'm just going to clean/lube it, load up w/Critical Defense, and then as soon as my new holster (Comp Tac MTAC w/extra body to accomodate my G19 too) arrives this will be making it's way in to my regular carry rotation. I think my Glock may even get a little jealous for a while. Now I just need to see if I can find a thumb loader, so that my thumb won't feel like I put it though a meat grinder.

Chester-le-Street - England rounded off a comprehensive one-day international series defeat of four-times World Cup winners Australia with an eight-wicket win in the fourth one-day international on Saturday.
Ian Bell (69) and then Jonathan Trott, unbeaten on 64, guided the hosts past their 201-run victory target with 13 balls to spare.
"It's always nice to get one over. We want to make it 4-0. When you're on top you want to stay on top," Bell told Sky Sports.
Ravi Bopara (33 not out) and captain Alastair Cook (29) provided able support in the victory that was first made possible by the bowlers.
Steven Finn wreaked havoc among the Australian top order claiming three of their top four batsmen as the lanky paceman notched up player-of-the-match winning figures of 4-37.
Fellow seamers James Anderson (2-34) and Tim Bresnan (2-46) supported Finn admirably in the absence of leading spin bowler Graeme Swann, out with an elbow injury.
Australia, at one stage 96-6 in testing conditions after a morning start, rallied through David Hussey (70) and bowler Brett Lee (27) while captain Michael Clarke chipped in with a dogged 43.
Though England chased the 201-run target with apparent ease Trott said there was nothing simple about another morale-boosting victory over their arch-rivals.
"I don't think any victory is straightforward. We played good cricket, but it's one-day cricket so I don't think you can draw too much from it."
The fifth and final ODI is at Old Trafford on Tuesday before top-ranked test team England commence a three-match series against South Africa at the Oval on July 19.

PUBLISHER'S NOTE: National Newspaper Week a good time to focus on what we do best
Have you heard the rumor that newspapers are dead? Well, I'm here to tell you it's not true. Especially here at The Daily News.
This is National Newspaper Week, a time to celebrate what our work is all about — detailing the cool things local folks are doing, reporting what area decision makers are up to, and giving our businesses a way to get their message out.
The Daily News has been covering the goings on in and around Montcalm County for more than 158 years. Granted, our focus and delivery are a little different than they were 100 years ago — heck, even five years ago. But only because we're constantly assessing what kinds of things people want to read about and how they want to read it.
By that I mean that you can choose to read our product in physical print and you also can log in and get our e-edition online. We've got an easy-to-access website, an up-to-the minute Facebook page and our reporters use Twitter for breaking news and other tidbits as they happen.
What is true is that the past couple of years have been tricky for our industry as a whole. But it's forced newspapers to focus on what purpose we serve for our readers. Here at The Daily News our answer is that we exist to tell our local story better than anyone else. And we don't plan on dying anytime soon.


text: Posted June 8, 2013 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000210224/article/ranking-the-nfl-wide-receivers Well-rounded playmakers 1. Calvin Johnson 2. Larry Fitzgerald 3. A.J. Green 4. Julio Jones 5. Dez Bryant 6. Brandon Marshall 7. Demaryius Thomas Gil Brandt's opinion notwithstanding, Johnson is the king of the hill after breaking Jerry Rice's single-season receiving yards record. There's no tougher matchup at the position. ... Fitzgerald is a probable first-ballot Hall of Famer one year removed from a 1,400-yard season with John Skelton as his quarterback. I can't blame anyone for preferring a young stud such as Green or Jones, but I think Fitzgerald has earned the benefit of the doubt. ... Green andPercy Harvin were the best receivers in the NFL for the first two months of last season. Green's production tailed off down the stretch due to bracket coverage and Andy Dalton's regression in the pocket. Marshall has been a ticking time bomb for the majority of his career, but he appears finally to have gained some sense of inner peace and maturity. His numbers will go down in 2013 if only because he was targeted on roughly 40 percent of Jay Cutler's passes last season -- nearly eight percentage points more than the next-closest receiver. ... Thomas does everything Jones does, but with a more checkered injury history. He's electric after the catch.Jones' numbers would be off the charts if not for the Falcons' share-the-wealth passing game in which Roddy White andTony Gonzalez are heavily featured. He's about to embark on a half-decade stretch straight out of Terrell Owens' prime. ... Saints cornerback Patrick Robinson is still checking under his bed and in his closet for Bryant before he turns off the lights. The final eight games of Bryant's 2012 breakout campaign project to 1,758 yards and 20 touchdowns across a full season. ... Go-to receivers 8. Percy Harvin 9. Andre Johnson 10. Vincent Jackson 11. Steve Smith 12. Roddy White 13. Reggie Wayne 14. Hakeem Nicks Harvin was a legitimate MVP candidateat mid-season before going down with a season-ending ankle injury. My early season tape watching had him behind just J.J. Watt, Tom Brady and Robert Griffin III as the NFL's best player by the end of October. Reliability is the only factor keeping him out of the first tier. ... Johnson has fewer touchdowns over the past two seasons than Danario Alexander posted in two months with the San Diego Chargers. Johnson is still a legit No. 1, but his 2012 numbers were inflated by the Texans' vacancy on the other side. ... Jackson is the rare free-agent wide receiver signing that actually exceeded expectations. He put the Bucs' aerial attack on his back last season, leading to franchise records for Josh Freeman in yards and touchdowns. I wanted to leave Smith in the first tier, but he wasn't quite as explosive (early season knee injury?) after the catch or separating from coverage as he was in 2011. Now 34 years old, Smith could be entering the slow fade. ... Speaking of slow fades, Reggie Wayne's might already have begun. He took a backseat to T.Y. Hilton down the stretch after a running series of highlight-reel catches in the first half of the season. ... White continues to crank out 1,300-yard seasons. ... Nicks would be in the first tier as a well-rounded playmaker if he could stay healthy. Alas, he can't. Not quite true No. 1s 15. Jordy Nelson 16. Mike Wallace 17. Dwayne Bowe 18. Victor Cruz 19. Randall Cobb 20. Marques Colston 21. Greg Jennings The Green Bay Packers realized prior to last season that Nelson had overtaken Jennings as the best receiver on the roster. ... Wallace is the most lethal deep threat in the game. He has to prove that he's not one-dimensional after a disappointing 2012 season. ... Bowe might be the garbage-time king at the position, but he has No. 1 receiver skills. He should benefit from the quarterback upgrade. Cruz and Cobb have strong arguments for higher rankings, but slot receivers don't typically take on the task of beating double coverage. If NFL teams don't place a high value on slot receivers, why should we? ... We know what we're getting from Colston year-in and year-out: Not quite Pro Bowl-level, but awfully close. My efforts to stick him with the "Catch-Radius" Colston moniker have been in vain. Prove it 22. Torrey Smith 23. Cecil Shorts 24. Pierre Garcon 25. Jeremy Maclin 26. Antonio Brown 27. Eric Decker 28. Steve Johnson 29. Wes Welker 30. Miles Austin 31. DeSean Jackson The Ravens are counting on Smith to graduate from vertical threat to go-to receiver this season. He has the talent to pull it off. ... Shorts' game tape looks like 90 to 95 percent of Victor Cruz. ... Garcon was the engine that made the Redskins' passing offense go last season. Can he stay healthy? ... I might have underrated Eagles Maclin and Jackson on this list. They both have top-20 talent, but they spend too much time in the trainers' room. Brown has feasted off the single-coverage provided by Mike Wallace the past two years. Can he succeed as the focus of the opposing secondary? ... I'll take Decker over Welker at this stage of their respective careers, and I think their 2013 stats will reflect that. ... Johnson has been stretched as theBills' No. 1 receiver. ... Austin took a clear backseat to Dez Bryant in the second half of the season. Trick or treat 32. Sidney Rice 33. Kenny Britt 34. Danny Amendola 35. Mike Williams 36. James Jones 37. Denarius Moore 38. Josh Gordon 39. Anquan Boldin 40. Danario Alexander Rice and Britt have the No. 1 receiver skill set, but Rice isn't targeted as such and Britt's knees were a season-long issue in 2012. ... If more people saw Amendola play last season, they wouldn't be asking why the New England Patriots preferred him to Welker. ... Williams and Jones are among the game's best second fiddles. ... Moore and Gordon are obscenely talented breakout candidates. ... Boldin wins with physicality, but has been known to disappear against superior cornerbacks due to his inability to separate. ... Alexander is a top-20 talent with the game's most fragile legs. They still rate Steve Smith as a Go-To receiver and were tempted to keep him in the first tier. Here's a little commentary on the rankings and surprised with the love Steve was getting. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000210237/article/atl-writers-weigh-in-on-nfl-wide-receivers-debate DH: Mark Sanchez aside, there's nothing more depressing in today's NFL than watching Larry Fitzgerald waste away his prime with a collection of low-grade quarterbacks. Carson Palmer has quit on two teams and I'm still rooting for him for Fitz's sake. My long way of saying that Fitzgerald is an all-time talent at the position and I'm comfortable with his ranking here. I'm less comfortable with the great Steve Smithbeing unable to crack the top 10. I assume this is because of age/durability concerns, Wess? GR: I never thought I'd see the day where Wesseling is accused of underrating Steve Smith. I think there's a Fathead somewhere in storage. CW: I was typing the exact same sentence as Gregg. I never thought I'd end up defending a too-low ranking for Smith, my favorite player (and arguably the NFL's most underrated) of the past decade. Nice segue though, Dan.Steve Smith can certainly identify with Fitzgerald's quarterback morass. I did dock Smith a few spots for age. He wasn't quite as explosive after the catch in 2012 as 2011 (early-season knee injury?), and he's no longer a major red-zone weapon thanks toCam Newton's presence inside the 10-yard line. I should have kept him in the top-10 just out of loyalty to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK4lF_pRciE. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is a little bit about each of our sponsors, as well as the winners list.
1. The Sustainable Stitchery: The Sustainable Stitchery is local to me (Dionna), and I am a very happy customer. The owners care deeply about creating products that are sustainable, easy and fun to use, as well as clean, useful, durable, and aesthetically pleasing. The cloth nursing pads, menstrual pads, wipes, and more are all "indispensable reusables." The owners have put years of first-person product testing, constructive criticism from customers, and lots of trial and error into making the best products they can. What's even better is that they are immensely affordable.
The Sustainable Stitchery donated four pairs of nursing pads, which we split up between two winners. Our winners of two pairs of nursing pads each are: Slee at Paisley & Pretties and CurlyMonkey

Idea being he slots in easily for the RH-hitting Cozart or Phillips or any RH-hitting 3B against a tough righty if/when those guys need a rest. It's a bit of a nicety, but still, it's nice.Mentioning that he is a left handed bat, but then saying don't look at his OPS seems kind of silly to me.
My central point stands -- Burriss would fill the utility INF position, primarily backing up at SS, and OPS is a secondary consideration for that spot.
Unless you want HRod there -- whose defense remains a question mark, particularly at SS -- I don't see a ready alternative. Personally, I'd rather HRod get regular ABs and defensive reps in Louisville in 2013.

US Boat Hunger Strike in Athens: Gaza flotilla: We still plan to breach blockade
Activists who have begun a fast hold banners as they sit outside the U.S. embassy in Athens, Greece, Sunday, July 3, 2011. Organizers of a Gaza-bound flotilla said Sunday they have not abandoned their plans to breach Israel's sea blockade of the territory despite a Greek government ban on their vessels leaving Greek ports. The campaign suffered a major setback when Greece announced its restrictions on Friday, and authorities arrested the captain of a boat carrying American activists that tried to leave Greece without permission.

Just got word from Athens: the 8 people who were fasting in front of the U.S. Embassy have been arrested. They are Ken Mayers, Carol Murry, Medea Benjamin, Paki Wieland, Ray McGovern, Brad Taylor, Kit Kitteridge and Kathy Kelly. We will not have any more news until the morning.
In the meantime, let's keep the pressure on Washington. They need to pressure the Greek government to release our captain, our boat and now these 8 people as well! Let them sail to Gaza!!!
Throughout this country people have responded to our call to contact the U.S. State Department to demand that they take the steps necessary to ensure that the Greek authorities immediately release the captain and let our boat sail to Gaza. In fact, there has been such a strong response that we are hearing their voice mailboxes are full! That's great, but of course frustrating for those of you trying to make those calls.
Here are some other phone numbers and email addresses to try:
•State Department general number: 202-647-4000 - ask for the Overseas U.S. Citizen Services Duty Officer and you'll get a live State Dept. official who has to hear you out.
•The voicemail for Kim Richter - also at the State Dept. - says she's out of the office for several days, and that callers with urgent issues should contact a colleague at 202-647-4578.
•If you can place an international phone call, the number for the U.S. Embassy in Athens is 011-30-210-721-2951.
•You can email the U.S. Embassy in Athens at: athensamemb [at] state.gov or you can send an email to them at: athensamericancitizenservices [at] state.gov
Please also try to call, fax or email your members of Congress as well.
Help us keep the pressure up!!

Meet 31-year-old Kyle and his 91-year-old Girlfriend
31-year-old Kyle Jones says, "Some guys like blondes, some like brunettes...I like old ladies." Kyle recently brought his 91-year-old girlfriend home to meet his mother. Yes, 91 years old. That's a 60-year age gap.
Kyle--who claims to have never dated a woman his own age--says he's been casually dating Marjorie McCool for 5 years now, and they have a very "active" love life. Kyle also insists he's not looking for a sugar mama--that he dates older women because that's what he's genuinely attracted to.
What's the oldest/youngest you would consider dating? Would you ever date someone 30, 40, or 50 years older or younger than you?

I was shooting My 5in ported taurus .454 casul today with factory loaded hornady 240gr jhp i shot two and the third one something hit me on the side of the face and made me bleed i thought at first maybe something from down range but i unloaded the next two rounds and i seen copper stuck above the forcing cone under the back strap stuck in there like splater i guess it blew out ......so i shot some of my lead cast and it shot fine what could cause a round to get shaved like this? has anyone had this happen to them ? can i even get the forcing cone cut in a .454?
you cylinder is out of time..time to send it to Taurus to get it fixed
Your forcing cone needs to be opened up. If out of time, the shaving would have been at the nine o'clock position.
I'd have either Taurus or a gunsmith check this out.
It happens.
Bob Wright
Had randy hollowbush look at it my forcing cone had a raised edge the timing was ok
Thanks guys for the input !

The Fun of Using Toys As Your Antique Room Decor
Posted byon
What is it about toys and games that make people want to collect? Why are people so intent on invoking the feeling of a simpler time? (That question kind of answers itself, doesn't it?) Let's take a look at some of the fun and games we have for sale here at Jabberwocky Sales.
Sometimes it's pretty obvious why someone is collecting a certain toy. Toys from the 1980's are hot right now, as children from the '80s are getting settled and have more disposable income than they've ever had before. That's why Transformers and 3 ¾" GI Joe's are so hot right now. Of course, Star Wars looks to be hot forever.
Other times it's harder to figure out why someone collects. Why would a child of the '80 be collecting tin toys from the 1930's? Did he interit a single piece and simply get hooked on the style? We might never know, but we're happy to have them for a customer!
Board Games
Every time you walk into your local big box store, you see the basics: Monopoly, Risk, The Game of Life, and a few others that they're trying out. Even Toys 'R Us might only have a couple dozen board games. Sure, you see the classics, but most of those games won't be around in a year. Like Kapitän Wackelpudding. Those lesser games come and go, never to be seen again.
The fact is, it's been happening for decades, so there are literally thousands of board games that most people have never seen. Ever heard of The Sub Search Game, which was like a three-level version of Battleship? Probably not, but it's an amazing trip back to 1973! Put this on your coffee table and watch people's eyes light up.
The fact is, toys and board games are always going to be popular, because people like being reminded that the world isn't always doom and gloom. Check out out our selection right over here.

Native to rocky forests of China, marmorated stink bug colors provide great camouflage against weathered wood and tree bark. In the house, stink bugs seem to feel especially at home among electronics.
BMSB do not have body parts capable of biting or stinging. They exist on a liquid diet obtained by puncturing leaves and fruits and sucking up nutritious juices. Stink bugs in the house do not eat because it's their hibernation season.
Here is a list of known host plants for marmorated stink bugs. Invasive empress trees (Pawlonia) are very attractive to these pests, as are cherries, apples and other fruit trees. In vegetable gardens, peppers and tomatoes often are the first species to face serious challenges.
A Stink Bug Haiku
A thousand stink bugs
Were hiding in my raincoat.
It's that kind of day.

Update 1/30/13
Last fall I was away caring for my sick mother when the brown marmorated stink bugs invaded my house, and they were bad roommates all winter. Never again! This year I have aggressively collected them in jars of soapy water, sometimes catching several hundred a day. By accident, I also have discovered several passive traps that temporarily detain stink bugs in the house until I can collect them:
~Fabric curtains and wall hangings seem to offer a comfortable way-station for the stink bugs. If I wait until the bugs quiet down in the evening, I can scour the curtains with my death jar (canning jar one third full of slightly soapy water) and easily gather several dozen.
~Folded cloth placed near doors and windows where the stink bugs enter seems to be an irresistible passive habitat trap. From two loosely folded old pillowcases I have collected as many as a hundred BMSBs, herded into a broad bowl of soapy water with a gloved hand.
~Pieces of cardboard with spaces between the layers are another good way to collect large numbers of stink bugs at once. And, although it's gross, a piece of cardboard under the sofa becomes a stink bug resort.
~Unwanted books with a couple of chapters cut out make excellent habitat traps, too. Last year, I was horrified to find dead and dormant stink bugs throughout my cookbook shelf. This year I gave them their own books, and cut out pages to make spaces for them. The book method is a great way to collect them because you can fan the pages into a bucket of soapy water to get them out.
These and other passive habitat traps are the best way to deal with brown marmorated stink bugs in your house. None of the currently-available stink bug traps are effective, so don't waste your money. As you make your own habitat traps, keep in mind that you are trying to mimic the sheltered space under the bark of dead trees. West Virginia researchers have found that in the wild, brown marmorated stink bugs spend the winter beneath the peeling bark of dead oak and locust trees.
Scientists are hopeful that a tiny Asian wasp that parasitizes BMSB eggs will be ready for trial release by 2015; specimens are now in quarantine at Oregon State University, with research proceeding as quickly as possible. See the second video below if you feel the need for encouragement.
Above: So far my garden has been spared, but this Virginia Tech video of BMSB feeding on grapes gave me the creeps! I now consider my house a trap for these obnoxious invaders.
News from the
Stink Bug Survey
In 2013 I helped launch the
Mother Earth News Stink Bug Survey,
an ongoing citizen science project.
Please participate! My first report is
ready to read at Mother at MotherEarthNews.com (Jan2014). More
to come.
Great New Resource!
The USDA and a dozen cooperating
Yes, you can feed stink bugs to your
chickens and it won't make the eggs
taste funny. Instead, blind tastes tests
from the University of Maryland
showed a preference for eggs from
chickens that had dined on stink bugs.
The chickens like them live and
moving, so I've started putting my
captives in a dry quart jar instead of
drowning them. Once a day, my
chickens get a dozen or so stink bugs,
and they snap up every one.
They get excited! One day I spritzed
with a bottle of Meyer's Clean Day
room freshener, and the frenzy of
activity it set off among the stink bugs
was remarkable. A few seemed drawn
to the source, while others stayed
stock still, waving their antennae
excitedly as if to pick up every last
molecule. Subsequent attempts to
draw their attention with the Meyer's
gave mixed results. For all I know, I
fried their brains with the stuff.
Living with Stink Bugs in the House
with me despite aggressive trapping. I keep a collection jar on my desk, and all winter I've collected between five and twenty a day.
Stink bugs in the house won't bite you, but if they singe you with their chemical spray on
the same skin over and over, you can get a chemical burn, as I learned first-hand last year.
When picking up stink bugs in the house, always grab them by the head end. That way, if
they spray the compounds won't get on your skin.
Dogs have been trained to sniff out BMSBs, which may help stop their spread. As of 2012,
people thirty-six states including Oregon and Utah are dealing with brown marmorated stink bugs

Vernon of Shipbrook, Cheshire[1][edit]
William de Vernon arrived in England at the time of the Norman conquest and was granted lands in the County Palatine of Chester under the patronage of Hugh d'Avranches, 1st Earl of Chester. His son Richard was created a medieval Baron and settled at Shipbrook, near Northwich, Cheshire.[1]
Warine Vernon, elder son of the 4th Baron, had no male heir and his extensive estate was divided between his daughters and his brother Ralph, Rector of Hanwell. Ralph's son, also Ralph b 1241, was reputed to have lived so long he earned the soubriquet The Old Liver. His heir was Sir Richard, son of his second marriage to Matilda Grosvenor of Kinderton, Cheshire. The Barony expired when his grandson Sir Richard, was captured after the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403 and executed for treason.[1]
Branches of the family flourished and its influence spread beyond Cheshire over the following centuries, partly as a result of judicious intermarriage.
Vernon of Nether Haddon and Tong[edit]
Sir Richard de Vernon (d. c. 1215) acquired the manor by his late 12th century marriage to the heiress of Nether Haddon and Haddon Hall, Alice Avenell, daughter of William Avenell.[2] His son, Sir William Vernon, a High Sheriff of Lancashire and Chief Justice of Cheshire 1229–1236, married Margaret, the heiress of Sir Robert de Stockport.[3] His son Richard was Chief Justice in 1249. A subsequent descendant, also Richard, married Juliana, daughter of Sir Fulk de Pembrugge, the heiress of Tong Castle, in the mid-1300s.[2]
Sir Richard Vernon (1390–1451)[2] of Haddon and Tong married his distant cousin and sole heiress Benedicta de Ludlow, daughter of Isabella de Lingen and Sir John de Ludlow of Hodnet.[4] Benedicta's mother, Lady Isabella Pembrugge (née Lingen) founded the chantry and college at Tong, Shropshire in memory of her three departed husbands. Tong Church contains many of the Vernon tombs. Benedicta de Ludlow, as well as the Lingen and Pembrugge Arms, are depicted in the chapel's stained glass window at Haddon Hall.[4] Sir Richard Vernon was High Sheriff of Staffordshire for 1416 and 1427 and Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire for 1422 and 1425. He also represented Derbyshire and Staffordshire in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of which he was Speaker in 1426. He was Treasurer of Calais in the last year of his life (1450–1451). He was buried at Tong.[4]
His son Sir William[4] was Constable of England and succeeded him as Treasurer of Calais and MP for Derbyshire and Staffordshire, while other descendants became the Vernons of Hodnet.[4] Sir William's son Sir Henry Vernon KB (1441–1515) became governor and treasurer to Arthur, Prince of Wales, married Anne Talbot daughter of the Earl of Shrewsbury and rebuilt Haddon Hall.[2][5]
Sir Henry's grandson, Sir George Vernon, the last of the Haddon Vernons, owned a vast acreage and was locally styled King of the Peak.[6][7][8] He died in 1565 without a male heir and his estates passed to his daughters. Haddon passed to Dorothy Vernon who married Sir John Manners and became ancestors of the Dukes of Rutland, present owners of Haddon Hall.[6][7]
Isabel de Lingen (died 1446) and her first husband, Sir Fulke de Pembrugge (died 1409). Isabel founded the chantry and college at Tong for her own and her husbands' souls. It became the shrine church of the Vernon family of Haddon Hall. Her daughter by her second husband Sir John de Ludlow was Benedicta de Ludlow and is buried in the church
Richard Vernon (died 1451, foreground) and Benedicta de Ludlow. Through their marriage the Vernons of Haddon Hall obtained Tong. Tomb in St Bartholomew's Church, Tong, Shropshire. Richard was Speaker of the House of Commons in 1426.
Tomb of Anne Talbot (died 1494) and Henry Vernon (died 1515). Henry was put in charge of Catherine of Aragon and Arthur, Prince of Wales by Henry VII and was with them when Arthur died at Ludlow in 1502.
Margaret Vernon and Thomas Stanley (died 1576). George Vernon, son of Richard and Margaret, died without male heir. He left his estates to his daughters: Haddon to Dorothy and Tong to Margaret, who married Stanley, the second son of Edward Stanley, 3rd Earl of Derby. Part of a double family tomb.
Edward Stanley (died 1632), last of the Vernon heirs to own Tong, which he sold to Thomas Harries about 1630. He was the father of Venetia Stanley, a famous courtesan of the early 17th century. Lower tier of a double family tomb.
Vernon of Lostock and Haslington[edit]
Sir Thomas Vernon, the second son of Sir Ralph, The Old Liver was excluded from the main succession of Shipbrook of 1325 in favour of his younger stepbrother. He married Joan Lostock, heiress of Lostock Gralam and settled at Haslington Hall.[9]
Eleven generations of Vernons lived at Haslington until Muriel daughter and heiress of Sir George Vernon, Judge of Common Pleas, married her distant cousin Sir Henry Vernon (1616–1658) of Sudbury Hall, Derbyshire [3] and their estates merged. For further and later detail see Vernon of Sudbury and Hilton below.
Vernon of London and Nacton[edit]
Ralph Vernon second son of Robert Vernon (b1520) and Isabella Levensage of Haslington settled in London.[3] His great-grandson James Vernon (1646–1727) was a Secretary of State to William III. He was the father of James Vernon (d1756) who settled in Suffolk and of Admiral Edward Vernon (1684–1757). James' son Francis Vernon (1715–1783), Member of Parliament for Ipswich, was created Baron Orwell of Orwell Park, Nacton, Suffolk in 1762, Viscount Orwell in 1762 and Earl of Shipbrook in 1777. The Earldom was extinct on his death in 1783.
Vernon of Hodnet, Shropshire[edit]
Humphrey Vernon (d1542), 3rd son of Sir Henry Vernon (d1515) of Haddon, married Alice Ludlow heiress of Hodnet, Shropshire and settled there.[10] His greatgrandson Henry Vernon was created the first of the Vernon Baronets in 1660.[10] The Baronetcy expired on the death of the third Baronet in 1725.
Vernon of Houndshill[edit]
Thomas Vernon the second son of Humphrey Vernon (d1542) of Hodnet died in 1556 and his son Walter (1552–1592) settled at Houndshill, Staffordshire.[11] His grandson Sir Edward Vernon (1584–1657) married his cousin Margaret Vernon thus combining the Houndshill, Haddon and Hilton estates.[11]
Vernon of Clontarf[edit]
John Vernon, (d1670) the third son of Sir Edward Vernon (1584–1657) of Houndshill settled at Clontarf Castle and a branch of the family existed there until the mid 20th century. The writer Cyril Connolly was of this line through his mother Muriel Maud Vernon.
Vernon of Sudbury and Hilton[edit]
Sir John Vernon (d 1545)[citation needed] was the fourth son of Sir Henry Vernon (d 1515) of Haddon and Tong. He was a member of the King's Council for Wales, High Sheriff of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire in 1528 and Custos Rotulorum of Derbyshire.[12] He married Ellen Montgomery, one of the three heiress daughters of Sir John Montgomery (d 1513) of Marchington and Sudbury, Derbyshire;[12] the Sudbury estate thereby passed to the Vernon family.
Their only son Henry Vernon (d1569) married Margaret Swynnerton, co-heiress of Humphrey Swynnerton of Hilton Hall, Staffordshire thus combining two substantial estates.[12] They had two sons, John (dsp1600) and Henry (d1592); neither had a male heir, but the family wealth was preserved by the marriage of Henry's only child, Margarett, to her third cousin Sir Edward Vernon (1584–1658) of Houndshill, Staffordshire.[12]
Their eldest son Henry Vernon (1615–1659) married a distant kinswoman Meriall Vernon, only surviving daughter of judge Sir George Vernon of Haslington, Cheshire;[13] the extensive Sudbury, Haslington and Houndshill estates were inherited by their elder surviving son, George, with the Hilton estate passing to the younger one, Henry.
George Vernon the elder son (1636–1702) continued the Sudbury line.[13] His son (by his third marriage, to Catherine Vernon, eldest daughter of Sir Thomas Vernon, merchant of London) Henry Vernon,[14] Member of Parliament for Stafford, married Ann Pigott, niece and heiress of Peter Venables the last Baron Kinderton.[15] Their only surviving son George (1709–1780),[16] Member of Parliament for Lichfield and Derby, changed his surname in 1728 to Venables-Vernon and was created the first Baron Vernon of Kinderton in 1762.[15]
A younger son Edward changed his name to Harcourt on marriage and later became Archbishop of York. See Earl Harcourt.[17] The Vernon Barony remained in the family until 2000 when the 10th Baron died and the Barony passed to a distant Vernon-Harcourt fifth cousin.[18]
For the continuation of the Hilton line see below.
Vernon of Hilton[edit]
Henry Vernon (1637–1711) second son of Henry Vernon of Sudbury, resided at Hilton Hall.[13] His eldest son Henry (1663–1732) largely rebuilt the moated Hilton Hall in the 1720s; he married (1717) Penelope Phillips (d.1727). Their eldest son, another Henry (1718–1763), married Henrietta Wentworth (1720–1786), youngest daughter of the earl of Strafford; she was a lady of the Bedchamber to the Princess Amelia, sister of King George III.
Their eldest son Henry Vernon (1748–1814) of Hilton was a page at the Coronation of George III. He married an heiress, Penelope Graham. Their eldest son, Major-General Henry Charles Edward, substantially extended Hilton Hall in the 1830s. The family remained in occupation until the mid-20th century.
Vernon of Hanbury[edit]
The Vernons of Hanbury descend from the ancient Cheshire family of Shipbrook and Whatcroft. In 1584 Richard Vernon of Audley, Staffordshire married Frances Wylde the heiress of Hanbury Hall, Worcestershire and in 1701 Thomas Vernon rebuilt the house in grand style.
In 1885 Harry Foley Vernon of Hanbury,[19] Member of Parliament for Worcestershire East 1861-68, was created the first of the Vernon Baronets of Hanbury. The Baronetcy was extinct in 1940 and the family relinquished the estate in 1953.
Vernon of Great Budworth, Gawsworth and Shotwick Park[edit]
The Vernons descended from the ancient Cheshire family and from William Vernon (1434–1507) of Cogshall, Great Budworth, Cheshire who was a grandson of Richerd Vernon of Lostock.
Thirteen generations of the family resided in Great Budworth and then Mutlow, Gawsworth.
In 1914 William Vernon[20] Chairman of W Vernon & Son (Millers) of London and Liverpool was created the first of the Vernon Baronets of Shotwick. The title is taken from Shotwick Castle built in Cheshire in the 11th century by Hugh Lupus benefactor of the early de Vernon family. The Baronetcy remains extant.
