I have had these for years. I primarily use them to hold up plastic barriers and to install kitchen cabinets. They are much cheaper than the competition and work very well.Cabinets:I take the upper corner cabinet and the one to the left and right and screw them together. I mark a level line on the wall where the top of the cabinets will go. I also mark for studs. I lift the three cabinets onto several of these bars to hold them in place. I make it so the bars are a little low and then I climb a small ladder to see how much higher the cabinets need to go up. A couple of squeezes and you are level. Oh, by the way, take all the shelves out and doors off first!!!Barrier:When I install skylights or fix drywall ceilings, I use four of these to make a small plastic room to contain the dust. With drop cloths on the ground it makes for an easy clean up and a VERY happy customer!Cons:They flex under weight. I have tried to use them for supporting drywall and it proved to be more work and not very effective. Rent or buy a drywall lift. It will save you tons of pain and frustration. One of the pictures shows them being used as a cargo bar. What a joke!!! If you want your stuff to stay in one place, buy something else like the ratcheting kind. When hauling these in my trailer, the caps pop off and then I am looking all over for them. I have found the best option is to take the caps off and put them in a tool box. That way I eliminate the hide and go seek process.

If there's only one of you, this is a must have!
By MikeyFtMyers
from Ft Myers, FL
This is a must have for DIY'ers who don't have an extra set of hands, and even if you do, this support will be that extra set you always seem to need. They are easy to set up and hold items in place until you fasten them securely. I used them to hold up panels against my popcorn ceiling, which I wanted to cover throughout my house, and they were a tremendous help. You could set one 8' away, walk to the other end while just keeping light pressure on the unbraced area, and then easily set up the next support at the other end.I advise taping wax paper over the support surface so as not to mark finished ceiling.
Very versatile

more than enough pressure to secure plastic to the ceiling to prevent texture over spray, awesome, better price than kit's sold for similar purposes.
Works Great!
By Squeenski
from NW, La.
Works great! Originally purchased this approximately 12yrs ago, didn't think I would use it much but it turned out to be one of the best purchases I have ever made. It holds items in place when I use it to separate them in the truck bed. All you do is set it in place and then crank it down and you are set to go. I would highly recommend this product.
Surprisingly great customers service!
By Chaz
from Bloomington, IN
These were shipped to me in the product packaging which was not adequate. In shipping to me the plastic "feet" to put on the ends of the poles were lost on 3 out of 4 I bought. However, I called up the customer service REPLACEMENT PARTS line (the regular phone line didn't get me anywhere). I explained what happened and they immediately shipped out replacement feet. HF could have blown me off and told me to mail them in, or take them into a store in another city, but they didn't, they treated me right. Thanks!I am using these bars for painting and sanding purposes to cordon off areas with plastic. They do the trick and should last for quite a few projects.

Works great in the bed of my '13 Ram. A little hard to reach the thumb-screw to tighten it when it is extended. The trigger mechanism is great, and makes it very snug.

The Name Jar (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
The new kid in school needs a new name Or does she?
Being the new kid in school is hard enough, but what about when nobody can pronounce your name? Having just moved from Korea, Unhei is anxious that American kids will like her. So instead of introducing herself on the first day of school, she tells the class that she will choose a name by the following week. Her new classmates are fascinated by this no-name girl and decide to help out by filling a glass jar with names for her to pick from. But while Unhei practices being a Suzy, Laura, or Amanda, one of her classmates comes to her neighborhood and discovers her real name and its special meaning. On the day of her name choosing, the name jar has mysteriously disappeared. Encouraged by her new friends, Unhei chooses her own Korean name and helps everyone pronounce it "Yoon-Hey.

That's what the protection does though. It forces Pietersen to do something else, now if he wants to play down the ground he'll get a single tops so its not that attractive. He'll play in different areas and that will force the dismissal. Sometimes putting deep fielders is a positive move.

Bethane O'Connell Happy go lucky group...
Patrice Harbour It took hours for one good photo. This was a best. Most the time they had to stare into the sun. Glum. I'd say forget it. Thank God for modern technology
Fern Murray Not a happy family photograph, but times must have been a lot harder back then.
Daria Smith Novak happy happy happy
Alana Rehbock Whoa !!! Clearly smiling wasn't part of the plan😊
Jessica Pearce Is it just me or does the woman have a disfigured chin?
Dory Lewis Lady of the house looks none to excited
Bernice Jones Mom's left lower jaw, looks swollen.
Debbie Anderson It's the heat and those heavy fabrics!
Iva A. Green The older gentlemen on the right appears to be a lil bit less gloomy.
Debbie Lyons Rhyder Hey, if mama ain't happy, nobody's happy....and here's the proof :-)
Mary Ruessing ancestors of the brady bunch huh
Mike Mills Ah. The good old days!
Carmela Ferriol Probably a very hard life not very much to smile about back then.
Deborah Luty Ellis I know that people didn't smile partly due to bad teeth, but this is either sad or creepy. Maybe a bit of both.
Sandy Sahagian I am a third generation photographer with 3 masters degrees in photography and thw reason for no smiles in the early times in photos is that the exposures were mostly 10 minutes long, so hard to hold a smile that long and still be in focus. Alsi the chin issue of the mom is damage on the photo, not disfuguration.
Holly Lomax I think you're right about the chin issue being damage, but when the photo is enlarged, it actually does look like the left side of her mouth is a bit swollen and looks like her cheek is bruised (and possibly above her eye as well).
Iris Rozelle Cogburn I was about to say this myself
Judy Williams Yes, it was perfectly acceptable to beat your woman back then..not saying this is what the issue was here.
JoAnn Rogers Bidgood I was thinking the same thing, that the husband may have hit her. It really does look like she is bruised on the left side of her face and under her eye and above her eye.
Claire Larson I'm glad you explained, she sure doesn't look very good! I wondered about abuse and/or dental problems...
Tammy Brock I wondered why people appeared to be so "unhappy " looking.
Mick's Place That, or the photographer was using a canon :P
Gaynor Gauthier OR... she could have had a fall... or was in some sort of an accident. Right?
Jane Jefferies I think she's been clobbered.Her whole demeaner looks withdrawn and fearful...
Tess Stamell If the woman is the mother what is the age difference between her and the men ... at least 20 years or more ?
Bill Blackford Holy shit. People turning this into women's lib issue. She could have an abscessed tooth.
Jessie Whitten Thank you it drives me insane when people say "oh they look so unhappy" or "life was so hard then they had nothing to smile about" and life was hard but that's all they knew so I'm sure when they did have happy times I'm sure they were very happy. Also you never hear old stories of your ancestors that they had such a sad horrible life so why would people think others had it worse then their own families. Unless you come from a rich line of people I assume most peoples lives then were fairly similar.
Ninon Nickerson I posted my reply above, but women and children were the property of men...like cows. I don't think being a woman (especially a poor woman) would be a good thing to be back in those days. The religious South is not exactly easy on women to this day...you think women were treated with dignity back then in places like Mississippi?? Doubt it!
Sandy Sahagian It really is more like damage on the photograph or bad digital retouching, it looks swollen because it is lighter in that area, so a scuff or someone trying to retouch and went too light. Her neck is lighter than her cheek, so that makes it look like there is a bump on the cheek. There are more reasons, but I am low on time right now.
Connie C Morgan Thanks for the nice explanation Sandy Sahagian. I LOVE photography and I'm a pretty good amateur but wish I had taken it further. I studied music instead. I just love pictures and have taken thousands in my day. It's really great to hear an expert opinion, though.
Connie C Morgan I actually think the mom's ruffle on her dress covered part of her chin when she sat down is why her chin looks foreshortened.
Dala Guisinger I don't think people should be forced to smile for every photo anyway. It's unnatural unless you're feeling it. And, I don't think it was a 'requirement' in early photography to smile.
Oct 31, 2014 on Facebook ·
Karla Decker Weren't the cameras a lot slower back then and if they smiled they might blue the picture?
Tessa Marie D'Elia Know I see where you got it from David. 😒
Jeannette Bowyer Stuart Bowyer, is that you on far right?
Rose Gasak teeth or no teeth these people looked not happy
Gareth Smith Can you do some McCarthys ?
Cheryl Boyd Very hard life
Jan Thompson Oh my, life was hard :-(
John Miller They all look constipated....
Bill Manley Sandra Sahagian..got it [external link] just took too long to keep a smile on their face.
Monica Garris Wow.
Evilla Dollyz Beautiful picture but looks like hard times echoing in their faces.
Kathy Chapel Johnson Not a very happy family..I know times were hard, but geeeze..:/
Cathy Weatherby Reminds me of my passport picture!
Susie MossRose Plus they often had to sit still for a long while.
Denny Parker The woman looks like the left side of her face is bruised/swollen.......
Heather Kelloway Sandy Sahagian you beat me to the comment I was going to make! My grandparents were born in the late 1800s and my maternal grandmother always sat stone faced when a camera came out. She also would ask "Is it done?" We have no photos of her beautiful smile because she was taught to be still & expressionless for pictures.
Cheryl Gazar They never smiled back then .
Nicole Morkert Hashimoto It looks like they are glaring into the bright sun, and also curious about the equipment in front of them.
Bruce McLeod 1897 Mississippi? Wonder if they were Klan members? The old fellow on the right looks like grand imperial wizard...
Bill Blackford Do your research. There was no KKK in 1897.
Bruce McLeod Do your research,I dont give a fuck asshole...
Deb Ace Elliott Happy bunch
Lena Condic Somebody needs a hug.
Peppi Patrice Davidson I wonder how many pictures would an average family sitting would get? Like now we get picture packages and send some to family. So I wonder if they could only afford 1 picture, like getting a portrait painted? Or did they get at least 2 to give away at least 1 to someone else?
Daphne Weaving When photography came into being in the late eighties, it was very, very costly. The family would dress in Their Sunday best for the photo shoot. These poor souls are dressed in tatters and probably had to mortgage their home to pay the photographer, no wonder they are so solemn. Tough times.
Connie Newman What did they have to smile about, times were rough!
Frances Lamm Sure looks like a happy bunch!
Jane Pedler Nothing like one big happy family....wow!
Peppi Patrice Davidson I dare to disagree, that chin and mouth look swollen, and the whole side of her face looks red (darker) than the rest. Nobody else in the picture has that distortion.
Kim Marston People had a very hard life in those days not much to smile about.
Andrea Hernandez No smiles allowed! Geez
Susan Pond Barnekoff In those old pics they always had scowls on their faces...I wonder if they were told 'everyone scowl now'!
Bill Blackford ha ha ha ...If you lived in 1897 Mississippi you'd probably would be scowling too.
Sandy Sahagian If they were truly mortgaging their home to pay for that photographer they would have made the best of the moment and looked better! It WAS the time exposure that caused the solemn expression, and photographers in those days charged a reasonable amount considering the time, materials and expertise it took just like today.
Mary Sigler The old man is almost smiling like he knows a secret.
Susan Pond Barnekoff ...or you know how it is when the fam is all trying to get dressed up and ready to have pics taken, kids aren't cooperatin', mom and pop get upset, puts everyone in a bad mood ... I've been there!
Sandra Hunger Hendley These are not happy people. I know back then they did not smile for pictures but this is misery written on these faces.
Dottie Thompson How sad and unhappy these people look. I guess they had good reason..
Sandra Nowaczyk Creepy!
Pati Patouch beautiful picture! i'm making a collection of old photographies from the end of 19th and the beging of the 20th centurie.... :)
Patricia Murphy Valentini Poor family. They look so unhappy
Jolene Marks Rogers Love this picture.
Mariann I. Bergeron-Foti Funny how majority of the old photos, even my families, no one smiles. I guess smiling for the pic wasn't a common thing back then.
Faith Joy North Berry This is some of my Wilson Clan and they didn't smile much either. They were inside also.
Bill Blackford It was a hard life back then. People probably didn't smile as much.
Peg Williams My kids have 'Wilson Clan' ancestors that came through Kentucky, Oklahoma and parts west.
Ruth Crook No, they are not smiling, but they don't look beaten down like the woman in the picture or frightened like the children.

Greg Rainwater she got a dip or a busted jaw
Bob Martinez People never smiled in the old days
Tracie Harvey grandpappy looks fairly happy.lol
Judi Moore Why did they never smile in pictures back then?
Nedda Maffei How sad they are!
Cathleen O'Brien Bastian Must have had a hard life!
Rosella Bassett The woman has a bruise on her eye and sore on her chin and bruises on her arm .I'd say she was beaten .No reason to smile
Clyde McCarty well i wondered why most all the pictures taken during this time everone had long faces
Bobbie Sarhegyi Wow! There last name, must have been grumpy! Lol
Aaron Aand Tasha You couldn't smile for pictures in those days ... it took too long to take the picture ... that is why nobody is smiling in old photos ...
George Mcginlay
Tina Rich Miller Life was hard and harsh back then. I could just imagine them saying "I have work to do and now I have to sit here for this picture"
Brenda Spaude They were never very happy in there photo's.
Ericka Robinson Gillis I can't help but notice the holes in their clothes and no shoes on the children. You know they wore their best clothes for such an occasion and it really brings home how hard the times were for them. They were true hero's back then just for being able to live and provide for their families. Many people of today wouldn't last a month if we were picked up and sat down in their time and shoes. Me included I'm sure. We owe a lot to these people who carved out our country and I'm honored to look at their pictures from so long ago.
Ericka Robinson Gillis Thank you honey! Very hard life indeed.
Sergio Nunes Bravo, miss
Carolyn Machost Simmons It is possible that this was damage to the photo, but yes, the dirt farmers of the south were still feeling the effects of the Civil War in the 1890's.
Gayle Williams Photographers used to go door to door offering to take photos for a small fee. Often the family didn't have time to prepare their sunday best and were tired. This poor woman looks like she had to take care of every one....
Barb Davis Vinard Gunyon during this time there were two classes, poor, or rich. no middle class, from what i've read.
Barb Davis Vinard Gunyon I was born during depression, 1938, and my parents had it hard. but i think it was worse after the civil war.
Linda Haydell you said it so much better than I ever could, Ericka. All the modern appliances we have today ( dishwasher, washer and dryer) and we still complain how we have no time. How many of us could manage like they did? God bless them!
Ericka Robinson Gillis It would have been such a chore to do anything back then that sometimes when I get frustrated with my hectic life I actually think of these tired souls and what hard really was. They lived it. But what always grabs me by the heart when I think about life back then is all the deaths they had to face. People got sick...and they died. It was a part of life and a lot of that death was children. As a mother myself its hard to imagine everything they must have endured every time a baby sneezed or a loved one coughed. Fear that it could turn deadly and no medicine to give them! How scary and sad to have to think about much less face everyday. I respect these people so much.

Irene Fuson Happy bunch.
Allison Robbins Not an easy life they had but now it makes more sense why so many old photos have ppl not smiling, as the photographers have explained. I still would prefer these photos over some of the narcissistic selfies that some ppl take.
Rea Rea Bo'Beah The older dude is smiling :)
Gwen Moyle No love there. Is there. Wow
Christen Davidson Miller It almost looks like a death portrait of the mother. Great dress though.
Judith Rodrigue-Johnson Thank you Sandy, I have none of your qualifications, and even I KNEW that! I see so many people posting things about them not smiling. Try to hold a smile that long-even 1 minute! I am an amateur genealogist, VERY amateur, even after 12 years, and I have been able to find professional photos of many of my husband's family dating back to mid 1800's. Not even 1 was smiling-except for one family shot and the baby didn't know any better and had a little smile-can't imagine how she held it for that long!LOL I think it's hard even to have a relaxed face for too long.
Deb Young-Hager He face looks bruised and swollen!
Denise Barrett Would love to know there story behind the sad faces
Katherine R. Weinmann Dang !!! :D
Jennifer Tice The camera that was used was most likely an 8x10 view camera which requires a long exposure time. If they smiled the chances are the photographs would appear blurred because of any movement. It too hard to maintain a steady smile. Life was hard, still is, but now we smile. I love studying these pictures.
PennyJane Taylor This is what a relative wrote on an old family photo that I posted. Someone made a comment about how serious everyone looked and he explained ... " Camera's took long exposures so folks had to remain very still. A smile would have turned to a grimace by the time the photographer was finished. That's why pictures of horses often have blurred heads because they moved when everyone around them remained still / rigid." ... enjoying your site.
Lynn Knockel Cute photo
Rubin Canchola SCARY
Nancy Carroll Sweet mother of pearl! I hope they weren't as miserable as they look.
Ruth Crook When I blew up the photo it looked like the lady's husband had used her for a punching bag recently. In addition to her chin looking swollen it looks like she has bruises as well. That might have something to do with her unhappy look.
Juliana Corral I noticed too :@
Brenda K Bickel maybe the wife was helping with chores....maybe behind the plow horses, & they were 'spooked'...pulling & dragging the 'misses' across a hard, bumpy ground, face first.... js'ing that you never know, she may have made the hubby a nice punching bag too!!

Annaliza Deeds Back then there really nothin to smile bout
Annaka Logan Great shot
Karen Musgrove You know, that is how the took pics back then. No smiles at all. I enjoyed reading Ericka Robinson Gillis, posting. So true.
Alex G Glasser They look pissed about somethin'
Alex G Glasser I'am missin' a tooth and still make a pretty picture...hee haw.
Vickie Wilkerson I have tons of ole' photo's just like this with no smiles and was told the same thing that Sandy and Mary said.
Diana Belzunce Que maravilla....!!!! Es emocionante mirar esas personas tan antiguas y tan bellas..... Disfruto mucho sus rostros y vestimentas. Muchas gracias.
Lourdes Perez Torres They were freaked out by the camera!!!!
Sergio Nunes Families had a hard time... Today some groups say that all white people were rich and exploitative, and must compensate the other for having privileges in the past.
Mark Graywolf Crook My great grandfather, with my grandmother over his shoulder. 1915, Arkansas.
Treasure Di Battista Happy lot. Maybe preparing for Halloween.
Sheri Herrick I study genealogy and this is very common in old pictures!!
Carolyn Machost Simmons Sheri Herrick, my first husband is a Herrick from Ohio, so my two sons are Herrick's, I am also into geneology but I haven't gotten back to Scotland yet. I got my ex's maternal Sullivan back to Scotland.
Sheri Herrick I have traced my family back to Scotland to 1056
Betsy Bobb yes, it took a long time to take the photos. So they didn't smile and went with a relaxed facial expression so they wouldn't suddenly move during the process. Atleast that is what my grandma told me.
Wanda White Does the mother have a black eye and a swollen lip?
Ellen Mcdilda Yes she does and those kids look scared to death.
Melba Simmons Grayson I still say the kids look scared. And the mama looks angry. Probably all the work in the house was being delayed, they did have to do so much in those days.
Suzi Jordan-Janecke People have basically the same look around that time period. I've always wondered about that!
Dean Fredrickson ......the day before Mama went to prison.
Pam Brucker God, what a hard life.
Helen Gazzara If you take a good look at the right side of her face, it looks as though she may have had Bell's Palsy.
Tamie Stanberry Ray They don't look happy.
James Gregg Certainly a happy bunch !!!
Rhonda Gargus-Whitman Some purdy somber faces huh ?!!
Jane Jefferies happy bloomin lot aren't they..lol..lol..lol.
Ddottie Sutton Lmao
Ryan Nicole Davis She does look bruised & swollen.
Lynette Burke The older man has a bit of a twinkle in his eye I always wonder how they could stop kids from smiling probably the amount of time they had to sit still did that
Helen Faulkner James Don't think those were holes in their clothes but defects on the pictures because if you notice the "specks" are also on their hands and all over the picture.
Anneke Dubash More like complete mystification. People had no experience having their photo taken. They had no idea what the photographer was doing and the box he was working with could make your picture. Most had never seen a painting, let alone a photograph.
Trudi Ramey maybe sun was in their eyes
Luisa Duarte in fact... :))
Clyde Jackson Look.No.Ring's..
Clyde Jackson Must.Be.Poor.
Susanne Zimmer Basque I know they had to stay still, but they are scowling.
Sheri Herrick My husband assumed his stepfather's last name of Herrick. He is not related to any of the Herrick that we are aware of! Sorry!
Jennifer Stidham It looks as if their on hard times, bless their hearts.
Dianne Boomer Someone informed me recently that people didn't smile for the camera because it took so long for the exposures.
Brenda Hopkins I don't think they are happy.
Brenda Hopkins Yes,most have somber faces.
Lori Michelle Cathy Fancher Davis
Ilien Johnson They all look so sad!
Nancy Nesbitt Johnson I am guessing the little girl started wiggling and the daddy smacked her or yelled at her. He looks mad and the girl looks scared and the mother looks helpless and grandpa is grinning.
Jo Prentice creepy !
Christine A. Human They looked so miserable and the woman looks like she was abused.A sad lot.
Victoria Carter Also...I think they were just plain worn out tired
Tess Stamell Okay, we know that in those days people didn't smile because of the time exposure of the shot, but There Is something More in this portrait . The woman has Her hair so Tightly pulled back it indicates a Very Stressful life and I am Not just talking about hard work ! She looks like someone has just given her a Flat Swollen Lip. Her shoulders are slightly Hunched, her hands are Obedient, her head is Stooped as if Fearful, she is some what Cringing and her Eyes reek of Abuse. The woman's whole Demeanor indicates that she is Controlled and has No Rights. What is the age difference between the woman and the said husband, twenty years perhaps ? I am reading him as 48-50 years of age. She would have been a Very, Very young bride ... if she is the mother ?

Lynn Amick Notice how they never smile in the old pictures.
Bill Blackford Why no smile? 1897 in Mississippi. That's why. It was a hard life back then.
Ellen Bernardino LOL! A question to ponder, Lisa! Perhaps shortly after the invention of the automatic clothes washer?!? :)
Victoria Place Kern I'm sure if I had to wait that long for a photo I wouldn't smile either. Also, times were so different....they had hard lives.
Janis Hurd Twilley Nobody is happy in that picture.
Penne Powers Thomas Did the photographer say...all right everyone give me your best pissed off look, except you grandpa can just be yourself!
Nancy W Thompson SANDY SAHAGIAN, I have been looking a picture of great grandfather that was in the civil war,as i was reading you were 3 generation. daniel wallace was his name, 1821-1903. A BRICK WALL FOR ME. thanks for your time
Hope Adkins No because of the amount of time the actual photos took to expose to the large plate sometimes people had to sit for extensive amounts of time. Most people in photos or paintings never smile because they were pissed off from having it take so long. Especially if they had to count every minute as money lost.
Linda Bowers Looks like they are waiting at the dental office.

Little Sparrow Calhoun "All of us would like to kill you... except for Grandpa-- he's just chillin'."
Alicia Kittelson The women looks miserable and the children look terrified....
Liliana Barake It was not easy life especially for women and especially children. The mortality rate for children before the age of 10 was high.
David Maple They hadn't invented "Say Cheese" yet.......................
Dinah Wills guess they didnt know the word "CHEESE"
Lanette London I like her dress
Adelka Aďka Kráľová they werent happy at all
Freethinker Kirxton Generally a calm, solemn expression makes for a dignified work, as has constantly been portrayed throughout art history....even centuries before the first photograph was taken.
Brenda McManus I reckon they had pretty miserable and hard lives back then trying to have enough to eat, let alone clothe themselve.s
Chuck Peek Looks like they just won a trip to Disneyland, and they wanted to go to Wally World!!☺
Mary Crestani Silantyev Sorry to disagree but I don't think if looks could kill is accurate I think they are dirt poor and have nothing to smile about.

Vanessa Upton love this pic!!
Lori Reams My great Uncle John was a photographer in those days. He lived to be100 yrs. old. Many of his glass plate negetives, camers, etc. were all very well presurved and in pristine condition. One thing I remember seeing was several metal rod like pieces with cross piece near the top, or curved metal brackett at top. Reminded me of a porcelain doll stand. These were placed down the back, under jacket or shawl or whatever, and craddled head to keep person being photogrphed from moving head side to side, or moving period. I am sure that added to the already unpleasant situation.
Patrick Harlow git off our land!!
Ninon Nickerson First clue...Mississippi....and women and children were still considered property. Women were owned by men like cows until 1894 (didn't change right away). They were considered the same as slaves. It lasted in Kentucky until 1890. Life was not easy in many ways back then either and many children did not live to adulthood and women often didn't survive child birth.
Annelle Taylor You have no clue and are undoubtedly stupid. Bigot.

Pat Taylor That and it took a while to take the picture!! Loved them though... better then nothing!!!

Debbie Parks Are they part of your family
Barb Davis Vinard Gunyon looks like a very unhappy family!
Allison Dickey It was sinful to be happy and smile. Life was a serious business. Happiness was like idle hands. Or was that only a Scandinavian theory?

Margie Haralson Donna Myers
Kristen Veronica O'Neill-Harris Beans fer dinner again Mama?
Kristen Veronica O'Neill-Harris Mostly it was the photography itself. If you did not sit still without movement the pic would turn out blurry.

Jordan Nicole Chapman Is this a postmortem photo? The mother looks off, she face drooping maybe she is passed and held up by a device behind her. that would explain a lot I think...
Steven Ockers Is that Roo Morrison on the end?
Bobbie Taylor wonderful picture and a little piece of time
Brian Kokernot God, your so right on M.
Annelle Taylor You are a bunch of jump to conclusions idiots. My family has been in Mississippi for 150 years. None of the women have ever been beat, belonged to the KKK or any thing like that. Talk about bigots. Have you ever heard of poor? Have you ever heard of abscessed tooth? If you don't know the story behind a photo you should keep your comments to yourself.

Gary Gray The gentleman on the right is Francis Joel Myers, my 4x Great Grandfather. He immigrated to America from Germany as a young man in the early 1800's, married and had children here. The other man in the photo is his son, the brother to my 3x Great Grandfather.
What we know about the Myers is that they were poor and worked very hard as farmers and ranchers, surviving off the produce of their land.
Times were hard back then, both Francis Joel and his sons survived and fought in the Civil War, and of course, life in the south after the war was harsh. It took years for families to rebuild and begin to prosper again.
The grandson of Francis Joel Myers, Walter Daniel Myers, my Great-Great Grandfather, owned a small country grocery store in Mississippi and was also the local postmaster. While I did not know the people in the picture personally, I did know people who did, or who heard first hand about them. I know for a fact that my paternal grandfather, born and raised in Mississippi, was taught from birth to be a southern gentleman, and he in turn taught that to me.
To this day, I open doors for my wife, and pull her chair out for her at restaurants to help her be seated. We were all taught southern gentleman ways and I have never apologized for being that way. Never did I hear of my grandfather, or his father abusing their wife.
To the people who posted disrespectful comments, think how you would feel if others posted similar comments about your ancestors and their families. It is just plain disrespectful.
Well wishes to all, be well, be happy, and be good to others, especially those you love, for life is very sweet, but also very very short. There is no time for being unkind.

BOSTON -- Brad Marchand's hat trick highlighted the Bruins' dominant 8-0 win over the Florida Panthers on Friday night.
Second line in top form:
The Bruins' second forward pairing of Tyler Seguin, Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand set the tone, and set it early. Less than 15 seconds into their first penalty kill, Marchand lit the lamp six minutes into the contest for the opening score, taking a Bergeron dump-in and wrapping around the net, beating Jose Theodore short-side for the short-handed tally.
Later in the period, with even strength, Marchand swooped in front of Jose Theodore and made a terrific screen; Theodore appeared to have trouble locating the shot as Dennis Seidenberg ripped a laser from the left point that beat him over his shoulder.
Marchand ended up with his first career hat trick, with 3-2-5 totals, giving him 10 points in his past five games. Not a bad way to end a week that started with the popular, pugilistic winger scoring the game-winner against Montreal on Monday.
Bergeron finished the night with 1-2-3 totals, giving him nine points on this six-game win streak.
Crowding the net: The Bruins carved up the Panthers' defensive pairings for a number of net-front opportunities, contributing in large part to the lopsided victory. It started with Marchand's wrap-around in the first, but Milan Lucic sent this game to the tipping point at 13:40 of the first period, parking at the weak post as Bergeron ripped one from the high slot, and slipping the rebound behind Theodore's right pad.
It was plays like that throughout the night that made this an easy victory.
Theodore exits quickly:
It feels like eons ago that Theodore was winning the Hart Trophy and giving the Bruins all sorts of fits in net donning the bleu, blanc and rouge. In 31 games against the B's headed into Friday, he was 15-12-3 lifetime.
But while he made a few nice saves early -- including a nice stuff of Lucic with his pads, after laying out on the rush -- his defensemen didn't give him much to work with. He lasted one period before retiring in favor of former Boston College star Scott Clemmensen, having given up four goals on 14 shots against.
Clemmensen, meanwhile, didn't fare much better. He also surrendered four goals, on 21 shots against.
Hamill earning his keep: With Rich Peverley out Friday, Providence call-up Zach Hamill played in his fifth straight game for Boston. He saw time on the third line with Benoit Pouliot and Chris Kelly, where Peverley normally plays, and also saw time on the second power-play and penalty-kill units. He also did a nice job in the second period to draw a cross-checking penalty behind the net from Dmitry Kulikov. Hamill took one shot in 13:23 of ice time.
The organization has been waiting for Hamill, the Bruins' first-round pick (No. 8 overall) back in 2007, to start showing some strides. On this run, he's begun to make good on that early promise, and is making a case to stay with the big club.
Easy night for Tuukka:
Tuukka Rask got the start in net, and picked up his ninth career shutout, and second of the 2011-12 season. He stopped all 30 shots he saw in net, to improve his record to 7-4-1 on the year.
The Bruins now have four days off, before Wednesday's game at the Phoenix Coyotes. They will next practice on Tuesday, at Jobing.com Arena.
Momentum at the break:
The Bruins head into the Christmas break winners of six straight, nine of their past 10, and are back into sole possession of first place with 47 points (the Philadelphia Flyers sit at 46 after losing to the New York Rangers on Friday).

Quiet hours at this park are from 10pm-7am. It is now after 11pm and one of my nearby neighbors (a homesteader) has been blasting his stereo inside his motorhome for the past 3 hours. I don't know how the people in the RVs next to him stand it. We're here overnight and our stay cannot end soon enough for me. I hope to get at least a decent night's sleep. No one is around to enforce quiet hours and it's apparent the permanent residents here know that and take advantage of it.
We made reservations yesterday and were assigned a site, #52. When we pulled up to the site, someone was already parked there. They were overnighting too and hoping we would be a no-show. They left and found a different site. As we were hooking up our utilities, we noticed the resident in site #51 next to us had strapped his satellite receiver to the top of the grill on our site. We asked him to remove it and he asked if we were using the grill right then. We insisted he remove it and he came out 15 mins later and grudgingly did it.
The park is full of homesteading residents with all their stuff spread out around their rigs and spilling over to the empty sites (like the satellite receiver I mentioned earlier). There's a definite trailer park feel to this place. Many sites are so close together, you can hear your neighbor yawning (as we did).
The cement pads are nice - long and level. Hookups are in the middle. Water pressure is in the red zone so use pressure regulator. WiFi is non-existent and there's no cable. There's trains passing nearby. And neighbors who play loud music late into the night. I can't wait to leave and never return to this trailer park. - Flippitti

This is a typical military campground with a number of semi-permanent residents who apparently have business on the base. Although it is an Air Force base, airplane noise is not a problem. The park and facilities are clean and well maintained and the hosts are friendly and helpful. The only thing we wished for was a dog park but there is a lot of open spaces for dogs to run. Just have to be on a leash. Sites are concrete pads closer together than usual on a military rv park, but not a problem for us. - Bojangles

We stayed for a night passing through. We were placed in the newer section of the park at a nice long pull thru with cement pad. The park is very nice and seems to be kept up. However there are quite a few long term residents that have lots of stuff around their sites that to me makes it feel like a trailer park. Site was level, close to neighbors but not on top of each other. No cable, but plenty of over the air channels. WiFi was pretty much useless. They recommend using a water pressure valve, which we did along with our filter and pressure was still good. A very nice park that we would like to see in the summer with all of the available gear rentals by the lake. Only heard one plane during our stay so can't complain about the noise. However we did hear quite a few trains during our short stay. Laundry was 75 cents per wash and dry cycle. We would definitely return. - pfogleboch

This is possibly the WORST campground I've ever stayed in, although it is more a trailer park rather than a campground. Most of the sites are occupied by permanent campers. Many have broken or ill fitting sewer hoses, leaving sewer smells. There are many wild cats running around, which drove my dog crazy. I had to leave the campground grounds in order to find grass to walk the dog. I will never stay here again, but if I did, I'd bring extra shirts to hand to the permanent residents who spend most of the day walking around shirtless. - Florida Nick

This was good for an overnight stay, but I wouldn't want to stay more than a night or two. There is a single restroom that the campground shares with gas station customers. The bathroom is attached to the gas station, there is no shower and it closes at 9p.m.. There are a lot of permanent campers here. - TigerPaw

Gunter Hill is a fantastic campground. We have stayed on the Catoma side twice. The sites are very long, level and nicely spaced out. There is a gravel patio with a picnic table and fire ring. The restrooms and showers were clean, with hot water. The shower heads were VERY low, which was kind of an annoyance but OK. We used the laundry facility, which had very clean/probably newer washer and dryers. Two of each. It was $1 per wash and $1 per dry. This campground is very quiet, with lots of trees. There is a racetrack near the campground. We could hear the motorcycles (outside) on a Friday night, but they didn't go on late, and we couldn't hear them over our AC unit. We would definitely stay here again. - UnderTheStars

Can you say Deliverance? Live and learn - I will never stay in a park without referring to RV Park Reviews again. This place was reviewed last in 2007 and nothing has changed. I did have 50 amp that worked fine, but there is nothing to recommend the park other than it is easy on and easy off the interstate, and there is a easy in and out diesel place outside the gate. The park was quiet, eerily so. Several mildew covered permanent trailers on either side. Close the door and turn on the AC. Glad to say good-bye. Very unfriendly dude checked us in. Stay away. Pretty trees, and the power worked, otherwise a zero. - Tiny Beast

Very nice Good Sam park with friendly staff and wide gravel spaces and exceptionally wide gravel roads. Be careful, as the roads have speed bumps which will rock a large motorhome. There is a very large fenced dog park with seating. All parts of the park are well maintained. Free WiFi and cable. All sites have a round metal picnic table but no chairs. Verizon 4G signal was average strength. Power was running 118 in the 80-degree afternoon; very good considering all the A/C units running. Your GPS may send you to the wrong area. It is on the east side of the road at a traffic light just before you cross the river if you are going north. You don't see the park from the traffic light as it is about 1,000' east of the light. We did not see any signs announcing the park direction. Most of the rigs in the park are well maintained newer equipment; we found only one exception. We have stayed at well rated Good Sam parks that obviously were improperly rated. This park should be the standard for a very good rating across the Good Sam system. We would return here. - Workamper04

We stayed here a couple of years ago and came back for a 2 night stay. The owner of the campground was very friendly and informative. The grounds were clean and neat and so were the restrooms. The sites were spaced nicely apart and the site was a pull-through, easy to get in and out. We needed some RV repair work done and the owner referred us to a place right up the street (they did a great quick repair)! Park is quiet at night and they do monitor traffic speed through the park. Great location in the city too! We'll go back there next time we visit Montgomery for sure! - Betty2016

Campground is just off US 231 on the banks of the Tallaposa River, some sites have carport covers tall enough for any RV, but no longer than 30', narrow road down to the park, beware to swing wide on the left turn back up the road on leaving (we scratched our paint on some metal stantions hidden in the weeds), many permanent residents, this campground is nothing fancy, but we have had a pleasant stay both times we have stayed there for a week each time. - AFChap

This is a beautiful (and at this time of year) very quiet park. We have seen all varieties of birds, squirrels, and even an armadillo over our coffee this morning! The only downside is that the water pressure is very low, and there is not septic, only a dump station. TV reception is pretty good, ATT is about 1/2 bars most of the time. - Rusty Quilter

Rate above is at monthly w/senior or military discount. Very peaceful location w/good, level asphalt sites (back-in only) and roads. Good city water with slightly low pressure. Very good electric. Heavy leaf fall: a leaf blower is very handy here for clearing your site and also for clearing the slide tops before departing. (Very congenial camp host keeps vacant pads cleared, but we prefer more than just the pad cleared). Satellite TV is possible with careful site selection and/or a mobile dish. Good over-the-air TV reception. Good Verizon 4g signal. Central bathhouse is nothing fancy, but is clean and nicely heated. Squirrels and deer are seen almost daily. Tables, grills, and fire rings at sites. We will stay again. - AFChap

What a beautiful little park. Very quiet, yet close to town. Probably the best voltage we have ever had. Ran very close to a full 30 amps and never dropped below 119V. While the park is on well water, the attendant informed us that they are switching to city water in the next few weeks, which would explain the hardware sitting in the woods. There are a couple of river-view sites, but water access is difficult due to being on a 30 ft bluff over the river. Sites are large and level and hosts are very nice. - tundracamper

This park is located just off I-65, 8-10 miles south of Montgomery. It is a lovely setting near some nice farms with cows, goats and horses. The driveways and RV sites are gravel with some grass areas in between. There are full hookups and decent WiFi included. The bathrooms are OK but should be cleaned more carefully and more frequently. The lady who checked us in was very nice and provided helpful information about visiting Montgomery. We paid a Passport America rate of $26 per night. - Coopsecondact

We stayed here one night on our way to Florida. The office personnel were very friendly and efficient. You can tell this campground is a "work in progress". We had a pull-through site, nice and long, and didn't even disconnect our tow vehicle. The site was level gravel, new sod, and had 30/50 amp service, sewer, and water. There is no cable at this campground, however the channel selection from nearby Montgomery came in loud and clear. This campground is located adjacent to I-65 and when we saw the close proximity, were a little worried about the interstate noise at night. We didn't hear a thing. There were what appeared to be "full timers" at this campground and several fellow campers left in their trucks between 6:00 & 6:30 - heading to work? This campground has a lot of potential and is fine for an overnight stay. - Sloopie1

We stayed 3 nights at Montgomery South RV Park. The owners are friendly and busy making improvements to the Park. They have expanded the slip sites and remodeled the restrooms and showers. The Park is clean and well maintained. We'll stop next Fall on our way South for the winter. - FT Newbie

Skip to comments.Students dodge bullets near Utah Lake
Posted on 02/18/2012 8:09:54 AM PST by marktwain
SARATOGA SPRINGS Forty students from Westlake High School went from taking pictures Friday afternoon to taking fire from target shooters near Utah Lake.
It's a common thing on the western side of Utah Lake: gunfire, on public land, with signs everywhere to let people know to be cautious.
But Friday, the group of students, here on a field trip, came under fire when target shooters bullets got far too close for comfort.
A mother of one of the students recalls a text message from her terrified daughter: "It's been going on for 10 minutes. We're laying on the ground and waiting for police to come," Collette Boden read.
The two men were firing at targets on this hillside, unaware there was a school bus full of children on the other side, down by the water's edge.
When the shooting began, the students were taking pictures and testing water samples. Teachers and bus driver quickly put all the students back on the bus. Twenty more minutes passed before Utah County sheriff's deputies arrived.
"The shooters were not being really negligent or reckless or careless," said Sgt. Spencer Cannon. "They were not aware of the ricochet, and that's one of the risks of target shooting in areas like this: you can have a ricochet that can be dangerous for other people in the area."
The students were a half mile away from where the bullets were fired. Utah County authorities did not cite the two men, who cooperated fully and moved once they realized what was happening.
Alpine School District officials said students take field trips to that area frequently and did not question the location chosen by the teacher and bus driver.
"This was just such a freak incidence," Boden said. "The teachers did their best to handle it the way they could. The concern was the response time. Why wasn't anyone coming?"
Some parents, like Boden, wonder why the Saratoga Springs Police Department didn't respond, since their officers were obviously closer. But that department said they simply weren't dispatched to the scene.
Email: email@example.com
It would be nice to have more details.
Yes, the story lacks critical details. Were I to venture a guess, I'd speculate that the teachers heard gunshots and immediately demanded that Government keep them all safe. Since this is speculation I reserve the right to edit or amend my comments at a later time.
Reminiscent of PIAPS "dodging" sniper bullets in Kosovo.
Is it possible to actually dodge a bullet?
Yes, I saw it just the other day on TV... I think his name was "Pootie Tang".
"Is it possible to actually dodge a bullet?"
Only if it's at "point blank range", another favorite media shooting reference.
If they were there collecting water samples with a teacher, that tells me all I need to know about the intelligence of the teacher. Stay in harms way to prove a point and create a ruckus against those evil gunmen.
Move that bus!
Those "evil" guns again...
Of course, this is being painted in the most ugly light possible. But notice the Sheriff said that the shooters were not negligent. I strongly suspect that no bullets came anywhere near the students. They heard gunshots (funny thing the sound of a firearm makes near water... it can make it sound like it is far closer). And God forbid that a minnow or other fish disturb the water near the sound of a gunshot... someone might think they were under attack... (/sarcasm)
Luck fiberals.
If they had gone a little bit north, then the Utes would have chased them out also with overhead rifle fire for trespassing on the reservation.
Stupidity 101 has lots of alumni teaching in our schools.
One of the teachers here wants to put a youth center in the same building as the new police station, telling the mayor that it would be great for kids to be close to cops.
Sorry but they`re gonna be only a few feet from registered sex offenders. Idiot teachers left their brains in kindergarten. No wonder our children are coming out knowing so little and knowing so much crap.
Deformed bullets at a high velocity can go in strange directions. Fortunately, they usually have little energy left when they impact.
Why didn't they get into the...or maybe they were, report kinda confusing...and drive away?
Yes, why did they just sit on the bus 'waiting'? That's stupid. You don't suppose there is anti-gun agenda in this do you?//s
I want to know what kind of dumb shooters don't know about the concept of "ricochet." I agree with another poster, however, and there seems to be some detail missing from this story.
This whole article is silly. I have shot along this stretch of the lake several times. This is a big lake and the road runs along the lake for miles. The road is 100's of yards or more away from the shore. The hills where people shoot are 100's of yards or more past the road. I doubt any bullets got close to the kids. The highly doubt the shooters or the kids could even see each other if they wanted to.
People drown in the lake every year but I have never heard of a gun death or gun accident in that area. No utah lake shooting accidents came up on google either.
This would be like living in LA and hitting the floor every time you heard gun shots.
And one of the students was texting, while "taking fire?"
Quick, pass some new laws to protect us..........
It brings to mind an absolutely unnecessary tragedy in Northern Ontario. It was up near Batchewana Bay, about 45 miles north of Sault Ste Marie. Three kids were playing on a fallen tree trunk the other side of a small lake. A family friend was a man whose nick name was Duffy.
He was taking shots with his rifle about 100 feet from the kids to sort of scare them. A bullet flew off the surface of the lake and killed a 12 year old boy. The Ontario Provincial Police carried out tests to validate or not, his story. The sharp shooter for the force found that the bullets would speed off the water. The man got seven years jail. His appeal was turned down. This was about 12 years ago.
My reaction exactly.
I think we've got an anti-gun nut teaching this class.
Not when driving a Plymouth . . .
Calling in air support...
I actually recall this case. Wow. Forgot all about it.
I certainly do not wish to carry on and over emphasize the point. This certainly does not bring any positive result, re education. I would like to mention prior lack of information can ruin lives.
The "Jet Skis" in use on lakes for recreation lacked safety rules. They were sold willy nilly. Persons drove close to swimmers and canoe users, jokingly trying to splash or scare them. Several fatalities occurred, because of the wide turn needed.
I have no quarrel with conscientious users of fire arms.

A '50s Moscow with pop music
By Michael O'Sullivan
Friday, Apr. 6, 2012
Set in Moscow in the mid-1950s, the Russian musical "Hipsters" is a candy-colored confection with a dark, bittersweet center. Focusing on a group of pop-music-loving young people in pompadours and swing skirts, it's a cartoonish fantasia, pitting a small subculture of sex and rock-and-roll against the gray, monolithic conformity of Communism.
Guess who wins?
In filmmaker Valeriy Todorovskiy's telling, the self-described stilyagi, or hipsters, at the heart of the film may have flourished only briefly, but they sowed seeds that would bear fruit in the new, more open Russia of today. The film ends with the heroes of "Hipsters" - who look like extras from "Hairspray" - taking to the streets of Moscow, as hippies, punks and hoodie-wearing rap fans join them in an rousing closing song.
It's cheerful, if slightly silly stuff, a Slavic Coke commercial about the power of music.
There is, however, a more serious subtext to the film, which focuses on the love story between Mels (Anton Shagin) and Polina (Oksana Akinshina) - or "Mel" and "Polly" as they call themselves, in an evocation of the American culture they fetishize. At the start of the film, Mels is a card-carrying member of the Komsomol, or Communist Youth League, and Polina is an alpha female in the gang that frequents the underground jazz clubs of the street her pals have dubbed "Broadway."
Soon Mels is wearing pink shirts and green jackets, and wailing on a sax he picked up on the black market. (There are lots of cute bits about buying contraband neckties and cutting crude LP records on X-ray film. Who knows - or cares - whether any of this is historically accurate? It's fun.)
The serious stuff kicks in late in the film, after Mels and Polina have fallen in love - and into bed and its consequences. By that time, the leader of the hipsters, Fyodor, a.k.a. "Fred" (Maksim Matveev), has sold out to the man, cutting his Elvis 'do and taking a job as a diplomat in America to appease his politically connected father. When Mels and Polina set up house in a communal apartment building with Mels's father and younger brother, the lovebirds discover that growing up isn't necessarily like it is in pop songs.
Todorovskiy is telling us that with responsibility comes compromise and youth doesn't last forever. There's a poignant scene where a newly conservative, business-suited Fred returns from his U.S. post, telling Mels that - contrary to their dreams - there are no hipsters in America.
He probably isn't lying. A more likely explanation is that they're now invisible to him - he just can't see them anymore.
"Hipsters" doesn't belabor that point. It's far more interested in style than story. But if it has a message, it's this: You're only young once, so you might as well act like it while you still can.
