We live in an environment, particularly in the corporate world, where competition is increasing, where there is a 24/7 always-on mentality, and where people are expected to do more with less. This sort of environment is conducive to driving people to high levels of stress.
The number one reason people give up on good habits, generally, is that they just aren't enjoyable. It's a simple truth: You are less likely to continue doing something that you do not enjoy. Here's some proof...

My "mom emotions" were stirred up this week. It's funny how differently we see the world once we become parents.
It all started when I covered an assignment last week for Upper Saucon Patch at .
As many of the local high schools have done over the years, the high school conducted a S.A.D.D. (Students Against Destructive Decisions) demonstration in the parking lot of the high school. It's often done during prom season as a reminder to students to avoid drinking and driving.
An accident scene was staged involving two vehicles. Students volunteered to act as the injured and deceased. Parents even volunteered to demonstrate their role had the accident been real.
Typically it's a basic demonstration where the high school student body witnesses the scene – damage done to vehicles, injuries to students – but on some occasions, the local emergency service teams also participate for a more dramatic impact.
Such was the case for this year's S.A.D.D. event at the high school.
Once the students and staff were seated on a grassy area outside of the building, two school buses rolled away to reveal the "mock crash" scene. An SUV had apparently collided with a smaller vehicle.
The driver and passenger of the SUV sustained minor injuries and were first seen inspecting the damage they had done. But it was clear by the "injuries" (applied cosmetically to each of the four students in the car) and positions of their bodies that they were not OK.
The SUV driver had been drinking as was determined by the empty vodka bottle, which was eventually found by an Upper Saucon police officer.
A scene unfolded in front of the student body as they watched the emergency call go through to 9-1-1. All communications were conveyed through a speaker system in the parking lot so the students and teachers could listen in real time.
Police officers from Upper Saucon, Lower Milford and Coopersburg arrived on the scene. Every step of the process played out as EMS crews arrived, fire departments raced in with their sirens blaring, and the "Jaws of Life" was used to dismantle the immobilized vehicle to extract the injured.
Most surprising was the arrival of the MedEvac helicopter from Lehigh Valley Health Network, which had been called in to transport one of the student passengers back to the hospital.
It seemed so real; there were times I forgot it hadn't actually happened.
They went as far as to have Stephens Funeral Home drive to the accident with a hearse and remove the 'dead' teen in a body bag.
Beyond that, the two students in the SUV were made to conduct detailed sobriety tests including balancing tests and exhaling into a breathalyzer.
One boy was handcuffed and taken to the Upper Saucon police station for booking. Later in the day, he and his family participated in hearing at Lehigh County Courthouse.
A funeral service was scheduled for the next morning to honor the young lady who was killed.
It seemed real. It was powerful. It was emotional.
As I stood there, trying to do my job with the camera, tears welled up in my eyes. As I looked around, students could be seen wiping tears from their own faces.
The most disturbing part to me was when the mother of the deceased girl was called to the scene.
The officer gently told her about her daughter's involvement in the accident. He asked her what she had been wearing, and if she could identify any jewelry. Ultimately, he asked her if she would view the body to confirm her daughter's identity.
For that moment, I was the mother. I felt the emotions. I felt the grief.
This mother did an amazing job of acting the part. She threw her hands in the air, fell to the ground and sobbed in anguish. This had me crying even more.
As parents, our children are the most important things in our lives. Our day-to-day responsibilities are focused on their well-being.
We must bathe them, feed them, teach them, love them and protect them. When they're youngsters, it's easy to be with them all the time. It's easy to make sure they're safe and cared for.
It's all we do for years and years. Then one day, they're on their own.
What hit me was the concept of them becoming so independent that they will face the dangers of peer pressure, drinking, drugs, and other negative behaviors.
For parents of young children, we know it will eventually happen, but to see a demonstration such as this, it took on a whole new meaning to me.
It is OUR job, OUR priority, and OUR duty to mold our kids into moral, conscientious adults. This is what we must do to make the difference.
Witnessing this S.A.D.D. event was a kick in the butt for me. Although my oldest son is only 9, there is no time too soon to discuss the dangers of bad habits such as drinking and drug use.
As much as I want to allow him to keep his innocence, I'd rather educate him and guide him into his pre-teens with the knowledge that will keep him alive.
I never want to be the mother who is called to the scene of an accident like that.
For a glimpse of what a SADD "Mock Crash" is like, take a look at this YouTube clip of a demonstration from Hershey High School. I warn you - the tears might start falling around the 20-minute mark.

Non-Traditional Work Hours and Retention
Posted on April 10, 2012 by Katherine Razzi
The once traditional work week continues to evolve into extended hours and the addition of weekend hours. Organizations are also allowing employees more flexibility in their work schedules by allowing them to start later and leave later or start early and leave early. While these different work schedules can be beneficial in maintain a healthy work-family balance, some of the work schedules can have an impact on the length that employees stay at an organization.
Depending on the individual, non-traditional work hours may or may not create a problem. 63% of employees working non-traditional work hours reported doing so only because of the constraints of the job (Martin, Sinclair, Lelchook, Wittmer, & Charles, 2011). Some jobs, such as healthcare, retail, and law enforcement positions require employees to work on the weekends as well as different shifts.
What are other factors influencing retention? While some employees may not feel that non-traditional work hours are right for them because of the interference with other aspects of their lives, there are employees that enjoy working different schedules. Organizational commitment is a huge factor that often determines whether or not an employee has any intention to leave the organization. An employee may not like the hours he or she works, but if they like the organization, they will likely stay with the organization.
Another factor influencing retention is the quality of alternatives. If I'm a nurse and I have to work shift hours and sometimes I'm working days and other times I'm working nights and I do not like these hours, what are my alternatives? If all other medical offices and hospitals also require nurses to work non-traditional hours, leaving the organization may not help me in any way.
Research by Martin, et al. indicated that employees with standard working hours had longer rates of retention within their organization. Employees with non-traditional hours, regardless of whether or not they perceived opportunities of advancement, had lower levels of retention. Based on this study, non-traditional work hours significantly impacts employee retention rates.
What are your thoughts on non-traditional work hours? Are these schedules good or bad?

Living in Georgia, and not in Jacksonville, there is little if anything that i could do about it, but do any of the current candidates for Mayor have any pluses or minuses for them in terms of the Jaguars?
I always thought it seemed like Mayor Peyton looked at the Jaguars as an asset to the city. He seemed involved with the stadium naming, and supported the Jags in allowing them to keep monies that were slated to go to the city from that deal. I think the local politics being in favor of the team remaining here is a big plus. I was curious which, if any, of the folks running for the office this year would be best to keep support coming from the top spot in city government.

With the signing of Tim Hudson, the baseball rumorverse can officially begin spewing forth any and all whispered third-hand nuggets about who might match up with the Braves as trading partners for one of their extra starting pitchers. The first one comes from ex-Nats GM Jim Bowden on his Twitter feed:
Hudson 3-yr deal done with Braves, Dodgers talking with Braves re: Vazquez and Mets re: Castillo according to sources
There are a lot of things wrong with that rumor. First of all, they're just talking and that kind of stuff happens all the time. Second, Javier Vazquez has a no trade clause to any Western Division team in either league, meaning he would have to approve any trade to the Dodgers. That makes this rumor less credible.
I think we'll hear more Vazquez rumors simply because he's the more attractive pitcher between him and Derek Lowe, but I don't think we'll see too much movement on the trade front until John Lackey has signed somewhere. He's the marquee name on the free agent starting pitching market, and whichever teams lose out on him may have more incentive to settle for Lowe -- and those teams would presumably be teams that could afford Lowe.
It's a wait and see approach... but rumors are fun, aren't they.

With all the talk of playoffs and an eventual championship, I offer this question: is Nate the general who can lead his warriors to the ultimate victory?
Many have commented that McMillan is good with young players, teaching fundamentals and discipline. How does he do with veterans and 'superstars'? He certainly has respect as the coach of the present but does he have the stuff that can carry a team to the future? At crunch time in a title series will he bring a championship caliber performance as coach?
Others have opined on this site that Nate would eventually have to be replaced for the team to go all the way. I would like to hear more detail from those of that persuasion.
No doubt Nate thinks he can deliver and I personally have no reason to think otherwise - I simply am not that familiar with his strengths and weaknesses. Having heard little tidbits from both sides over the course of the season, I now throw this out for your discussion: in effectively communicating vision, purpose and goals as well as executing the nuts and bolts of championship coaching, is Nate 'The One'?

"Is There a Hudson Valley Regional Agenda?" was the topic for discussion among 135 attendees at a conference held on June 15 at the Student Union Building. This conference engaged a broad range of groups and individuals in the valley, with a variety of strongly held interests and priorities, to consider whether this region, like other key regions in the state, can annually generate and advance a shared regional agenda for legislative action by state government.
Speakers and participants included SUNY New Paltz President Donald Christian, Ulster County Executive Mike Hein, Dutchess County Executive Marcus Molinaro; Elizabeth Lynam, vice president and director of state studies at the Citizen's Budget Commission; David Church, commissioner of the Orange County Department of Planning; Garrett Dyal, Adam's Fairacre Farms; Ned Sullivan, president of Scenic Hudson; Kevin O'Connor, executive director of the Rural Ulster Preservation Company (RUPCO); Barney Molloy, Hudson River Watertrail Association; Natasha Caputo, Westchester County Tourism and Film; Michael Migloire of Whitecliff Winery; and Megan Daly of the New York State Regional Economic Development Councils. A preview of the forthcoming CRREO report on Regional Well-Being was presented by KT Tobin (CRREO).
President Christian stated, "We think it's really important that SUNY New Paltz as an anchor institution in the Mid-Hudson Valley fulfills its role as a public institution, and that involves bringing together the diverse people and organizations to look at regional solutions to the problems and opportunities that we face in the Hudson Valley."
Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro said, "The political leadership needs to recognize that the economy of the Hudson River Valley, the ecology of the Hudson River Valley, and the culture and demographics of the Hudson River Valley exceed any one municipal boundary and that we together need to establish policy and leadership models that extend beyond municipal boundaries. And in the process, I hope, reinvent the region."
The conference was sponsored by the Advocacy Council of the Hudson Valley, an organization formed in 2010 by a group of community leaders interested in developing and advancing regional thinking to promote a broad, shared public policy agenda targeted on legislative action and particularly focused on Hudson Valley needs and priorities. The coalition seeks to generate agreement among advocates across the spectrum of interests, issues and concerns on matters that legislators in Albany and Washington must act upon to advance the regional well-being of the Hudson Valley. Other sponsors included: RUPCO's Hudson Valley Green Jobs/Green New York Program, Mid-Hudson Acupuncture, NY Metro Chapter American Planning Association, and the Tri-State Transportation Campaign.

Underrated: "When You Start Looking At Longevity, [The] Name Will Come Up"
Tuesday, Feb 8, 2011 12:15AM
[As Valentine's Day approaches, this week SOHH will highlight artists so in love with the man in the mirror that they decided to speak on why they feel they are unappreciated. After Raekwon gave himself the title yesterday, Twista now crowns himself SOHH Underrated.]
Me. Me. Me. Me. I'm the most underrated artist in hip-hop. I'm a laid-back person, but if there's any way to get a rise out of me, [not considering me as underrated] is the one right there. That might even be the title of my next album. The Most Underrated. Seriously.
I mean, sh*t, look at my relevance. I put out a record in 1991 and here I am with a better record on the radio than most n*ggas out right now. I can rap fast. I got rhythm, cadence, I can come back at you with metaphors, I can change my style in about three or four ways, I spit on a record with anybody. Look at the people I've rapped with, from Diddy to Jay-Z. Look at all the features I've done. Look at how many times I changed my style up.
I think people forget the art of what rapping and emceeing is. Some of these n*ggas out here can't f*ck with me. So that's when it starts to get crazy to me, when I hear about who is underrated. You can't skip Twista when you see me constantly being relevant in the game since 1991.
Here it is, 2011, twenty years and I'm still making jams? How can my name not get brought up? So when you say "Greatest Of All Time," that doesn't disturb me, but when you say, "Most Underrated," that disturbs me. I feel like I'll be most relevant when the chart comes up showing artists with longevity. Like, who was able to keep banging them over their heads with jams? I think when you start looking at longevity, my name will come up.
Twista is a rap veteran with over 20 years of music to his name. Since 1991, Twista has released countless records and appeared on collaborations alongside Diddy, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Chris Brown and more. The rapid-fire lyricist once held The Guinness Book Of World Records title as the fastest rapper in the world.
Be sure to check back tomorrow to see if your favorite rapper crowns himself as SOHH Underrated.

Vermont DCF worker charged with felony in MaineAugust 29,2013Vt. DCF worker
charged in Maine
A caseworker for the Vermont Department for Children and Families is charged with sexually assaulting a child in Maine.
Jeffrey Parfitt, 26, of Middlebury, was indicted Wednesday on a single felony charge of unlawful sexual conduct, according to the Bangor Police Department in Maine. Lt. Paul Edwards said Parfitt is expected to surrender himself to Maine authorities.
Bangor Police made few details on the case available Wednesday, saying that Parfitt was in Maine to follow-up regarding the living situation of a juvenile female there. The girls father made a complaint to police after Parfitt made an unnecessary and inappropriate examination of the child after asking the father to leave the residence to allow for privacy.
Two Bangor detectives came to Vermont and interviewed Parfitt before the local prosecutor brought the case before a grand jury.
DCF commissioner Dave Yacovone did not immediately return a call seeking comment Wednesday afternoon, but did issue a statement saying that Parfitt had been placed on administrative leave and that his department had cooperated with Bangor Police and reviewed the safety of children and youth Mr. Parfitt had contact with as part of his official duties.
The statement did not describe the findings of that review.MORE IN This Just InTOWNSHEND — A 26-year-old Townshend man shot his off-again, on-again girlfriend late... Full StoryA Rutland jury has returned a verdict in favor of a retired obstetrician and Rutland Regional... Full Story

Emily Ashce was 16th (16:29), Kiana Stender, 17th (16:31), Hannah Kuehl, 19th (16:52) and Carissa Moyna was 20th (16:56). A total of 53 runners participated.

"Every race was an exciting one for Central at conference this year," Coach Mark Bauder said. "Central fans had something to cheer for in every race, from waiting for official scores for the varsity girls' championship finish to the boys' varsity battling for the top three spots through nearly the whole race to crowning JV individual champions in both of the JV races to winning the JH girls team championship."

Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston will not be charged after an investigation into an alleged sexual battery, State Attorney William Meggs said today.
"We have carefully examined the evidence in this case and have concluded no charges will be filed in this case," Meggs said Thursday. "We prosecute the cases that we have evidence on."
Meggs smiled through much of the conference, cracking jokes, and laughing while discussing allegations of sexual assault.
Twitter responded in turn …

I'm not a Lakers fan, or a fan of the Suns. What I am though is a fan of the NBA I like the playoffs whether my team is in it or not. With that being said I have to say I was purely disgusted when I saw that 3 of the 10 experts on espn had the audacity to say the Suns were going to beat LA. Yes I realize anything is possible, but all of my prior knowledge of watching basketball tells me that Phoenix can't and won't win this series. LA unlike San Antonio, and Portland have way too many versatile bigs. Yes Bynum is hurt, but I don't think the injury will be that much of a factor. Gasol is tough cover, and Odom has proven this as well. The big questions I have for the series is this. What will Phoenix do if Amare gets in foul trouble. This seems like it will be a factor in this series. Amare isn't a great defender, and puts himself in bad positions sometimes in which he has to foul. The other question I have who does Phoenix have on their team to slow down Kobe? The last question I have will Phoenix's bench come up big in this series? I don't think so. This LA team is a better defensive team than what the Suns saw in 2006 and 2007 in the playoffs. The irony is that Phoenix finally got the monkey off their back, and beat San Antonio they avenged their demons. The irony this series is LA will avenge their past playoff demons and knock out the Suns.
LA in 5.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

London - A reveller donned a giant inflatable costume depicting Wayne Rooney, for Brazil's carnival parade season.
He danced to samba music alongside thousands of other party-goers in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
Ronaldo - complete with scary huge front teeth and a huge forehead - and Romario were two other Samba legends to join Rooney in the fancy dress stakes.
Additionally, he was joined by scantily-clad babes from the Unidos da Tijuca samba school.
"Whoever he was he showed silkier footwork than the real Rooney,†the Daily Star quoted an onlooker as saying.

Awesome just pure awesomeness. Way to keep the past alive guys!
I've spent more time at state parks and in class rooms then I can account for . Live it to learn it brother . I've known a lot of guy's that started out to spend a few years in the community while working on their doctorate , end up getting hooked for life
Surprised Chris hit the hog, considering the way he pushed that rifle when he pulled the trigger on that misfire..
next time you're standing chest deep in a swamp balancing on 300 years worth of tree limbs and God knows whatall , huh , let me know how it works out for you . I missed my shot at that pig , started falling as the flint dropped , missed by 4 ft . is what it is Jim , try it sometime , you might get a different perspective
Will, I wouldn't even begin to do what you did, so I tip my hat off to you….you did a good jov despite your circumstances you encountered.
I agree with Jim, if you're gonna let a nitwit marry your daughter you shouldn't have to wipe his ass too…
of course they probably set out tons of explosives, there was lots of drama, and no real gun action. Really wish the drama would go away and just build some sweet guns. Otherwise its a waste of time.
Here's a bit of advice for you Matt G. Next time you have a thought….just let it go.
Here's a novel idea Matt G. If you don't like the show don't watch the show and better yet don't leave comments on the "Sons of Guns" page.
I'll keep it simple for ya, Matt. How does F you work for ya?
Think u sir if u don't have anything good to say shut up I love the show
Sorry to be off topic Mr. Will but, this is about your show. All the exotic weapons are fine every now and then, but I'd love to see some down-to-earth stuff. Like, how to polish the feedramp on a S&W, or really clean the trigger group of a Glock, or, modifying a plain shotgun for HomeDefense. It's not oftgen we're gonna see a 40mm cannon, ya know? I'm really not complaining, just adding a wish list.
Oh, kinda agree with above- Vince got the bad end of the stck. As if you care what I think. And I don't blame ya.
Chuck we have no say whatsoever in what they air . Having said that , we're a manufacturing company and have been shipping on a national level for over 10 years . We just don't do a whole lot of "gunsmithing" work unless it's something that we find very interesting . oh , and if you only know what the editors of the show want you to see , well , it leaves a lot out . from our end , we have close to 250 employee's , Vince was just one of about 15 that didn't work out over the last year . He happened to be one that I stuck in front of a camera , thats all and thats the only reason anyone cares .
Hey Will, This Vince stuff is really stuck in my "craw". Eveyone that claims to watch the show apparently didn't see he walked out on you. Then you had him back to do the BAR for J.J. and he seemed as if things wern't going to work out. You and he talked and after the incedent with his walking out, you let him go. This seemed like a mutual agreement to me. Sometimes people don't work out. He left, you said good bye and life moves on. Why people can't see this is beyond me. I'm sure he will do fine in whatever he does and I'm sure Red Jacket is still rolling along. Love the show as much as I love my guns… You take care and if I'm ever back in LA. I'm gonna have to stop by and look you up. (I might need a gun or something) or just to say hi. Peace brother, Gunnr T.
What? I lost sound about 1/3 way through.
I appreciate yall posting this, what a nice surprise. I was eying a smoothbore caplock some weeks ago. Figured it was true versatile fun just like the man said.
I'm gonna have to get a hunting license and shoot some squirrel or hog one of these days. I keep talking about it so I just need to find a place and "Go!!!!!!!!" like on that race motorcycle I saw some years back lol
Track of the Wolf is a pretty good place to shop , I get a lot of components from them
Will , would you recommend a smoorth bore even if you don't intend to ever use bird or buck shot ? I'm asking because I have an in – line . 50 and I have been thinking about getting a traditional flint or cap lock . ( Actually , I was thinking about that BEFORE I bought my Thompson Center a few years ago . )
I prefer them , then again I do a lot of pre-1770's stuff and they were by far the most common . The French Fusse de Chasse or Tulle is my personal favorite , I have a North West Trade gun I built up that I like a lot also . With a good patched ball , I'm real confident at 100yrds . But if you only going to use it for solid ball shooting , there's some real nice rifle's out there . I'm building a J.P. Beck[1770's] and a early Christian Springs[late 1750's] right now .
Thanks for taking the time to answer me , Will . Oh and by the way , the check for the two bucks is …. uh ….. in the mail .
Hi, big fan of the show. I watched your Flintlock Hog Hunt vid, and I was extremely curious about the blade you used on the hog after Kris shot it. Could you tell me what it was and where I might be able to get one?
Does G & A get paid for promoting these idiots? Why not promote someone who doesn't treat his employees like crap and that actually has something to do with firearms, not dress up, 'let's pretend' or 'OH! Goody, goody – a big boom!'.
It's either Red Hack-it or Zombies these days. I USED to look forward to reading Guns and Ammo…
AND ………. Once again I wasn't invited on this little excursion Will …. Oh I know , I know , " Gee , Alan your invitation musta got lost in the mail " HA ! …….. I might have believed that excuse the first 739 times you used it BUT NO MORE !
See if I invite YOU GUYS to my next party ! We'll see how YOU like it Mr . Hayden ! …….. And I'm planning on having those little lemon shortbread cookies that everyone seems to like so much too !
NO ! …. it's too late , don't bother trying to ask me to go the next time , it won't work . I'll just invite my " REAL " friends , like ……….. uh ……… well ……like ….. uh ….. NEVER YOU MIND who I'm going to invite Mr . " Red Jacket " , just know it won't be YOU ! …… HA !
LOL how do you come up with that stuff Alan? youre a nut! LOL
Well Alan if you ever got that two dollars you owe me covered I guess we could talk
Ooooooooooooh no it's too late to try to make up now just because I mentioned cookies Will ! Me and my new best buddy , Poor Jack are gonna eat 'em all .
Two dollars ? TWO DOLLARS ! ? I don't know what you're talking about ! Besides it was a dollar ninety – eight and I paid that back …. uh …. I MEAN …. I never borrowed it … that …. uh .. two dollars …..
can I get me some of them cookies? Ill be your real friend LOL
You bet Jack , just be careful eating them around Will , he'll claim you owe him two bucks when it was only a dollar ninety – eight and did't borrow it in the first place !
Morning guy's , glad to see ya'll enjoyed the video . Ben's always a good guy to work with and we had a really great time out there . The Living History community has been a large part of our lives and a very rewarding part at that . It's not all about gun's , it's about people , who they were , how they lived and the moments that shaped not just their lives but the course our our nation . The Fort we were at is St.John Baptist , in central La. . While that's our "home base" , we have traveled all over the country participating in events at state parks , museums , historical sites and even a few schools . It's about learning and sharing and sometimes even teaching . I invite everyone with an interest in history , their own and their country's , to get involved . I'll be attending a large event at Niagara in July , hope to see you there . Will
Thank you so much for posting this video! I have really missed seeing you all on TV since the season finale. My husband and I are watching the last season all over again while we wait for the new one!
Also – I just want to say thank you to Will for actually posting on comments on forums and such for your fans. That says a lot about you, and not that you are just sticking your nose up in the air like most people who become famous. Your family is a class act, and I love you all!
I second that about Will and his answering , especially considering some of crap people throw at him on here .
Oh …… and you …. uh ….. owe me two .. I MEAN , four dollars Melissa .
Love it! Great video! The magic or lure of blackpower hunting is that sometimes you have misfires. Flintlocks have a unique way of firing as it is two explosions – first the primer powder and then the barrel. So the time between trigger pull and actual ball moving is a bit slower than a modern rifle. It is a different technique. So the misses and misfires on this video are a testimony to the challenge of hunting the old ways. Interesting that Will prefers the smoothbore musket because of its versatility. My grandfather had his father's musket converted to first 12 gauge shotgun shells. Though it was long…it was his go to gun for small game, birds, deer and bear in Wisconsin.
Will, I enjoyed your Bofor show so much I think I'd like to get a class 3 licsense so I can get one to go condour hunting. Until then I would love to get a 40mm dummy round so I can dream about it. Thanks in advance JMB
Very, very cool Mr. Hayden. I'm looking toward my first hog hunt soon. You guys are awesome!
You guys need to come up to New England and do a reenactment with us ! Live the lifestyle for the whole weekend, no computers, no tv just camping and reenacting the past!
well , I'm doing the event at Ft.Niagara in July . Back to filming after that , probably wont get out till the fall .
Mr. Will I enjoyed the video and your show Keep up the great work.
Chris. Great shot.
That was such an entertaining video I really enjoyed it and cant wait for the next one!
Hey guy's , as lot of you know Muzzleloading has been a big part of my life for decades . Over the last 8-9 months I've been working hard to bring about somthing I've wanted to do from the beginning . RedJacketMuzzleloading.com . Ya'll get a chance , check it out . Will
I'm in the Opelousas area, and i'd love to see more 18th century weapons on the show. As a primitive enthusiast, muzzleloader, bowyer and trekker i can't get enough of the 1750′s .
My ancestors appeared in this country via Fort Toulouse Alabama and Mobile. French and at some point Choctaw. I just finished fitting a Kentucky rifle and horn. It's great to see this kind of appreciation in a local setting. Keep it up.
Get rid of that clown kris Ford…he is just a big fake kiss ass.

[Ads have also been confirmed by Verge support and other readers - Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Denmark, France,... Australia is not getting these exact ads, but equally bad ones. Yes, they are really served by Vox Media and their ad network AppNexus /adnxs.com(vntsm.com/atdmt.com)]

Also check out threads from other users about this: (although my updated post sums them up all)
The Verge would never approve such ads, but they are still serving those ads to certain non-US/non-UK countries through European ad networks. Some Vox Media Ad managers need to sort this out or get fired.
Users have already confirmed these ads across iOS, Android, Linux, Mac OS and Windows. Tested across browsers and across Internet Service Providers.
Tested through my home internet connection, tested through my mobile carrier (on iPhone and on Laptop tethered to iPhone) and tested on school PC with completely different internet provider as well. No Tor, Proxies or VPN used. Tested with different DNS servers as well. No extensions enabled.
Me and other German/Austrian readers only get ads every few days but I think European Verge readers in non-English speaking countries only get (legitimate) ads every few dozen page loads?

acceptable flash ads and unacceptable flash ads
Linux: Having fun with dozens of pop-up ads:
Oh and just a small side note: Adblock is disabled and Ghostery found 54 different services! Seriously Verge? WTF? 54 different services? I know they aren't all trackers but most of them are. To be fair, this only happened once though . When I refreshed the page they were back down to 11-13 services. I am not complaining about this (yet). Sort out your horrible ads you have been serving to certain countries in the last 3-4 months first.
Back to normal:
Ok, back to the ads:
- condom ads
- poker ads
- ads that play a sound without hover-over
- pop-up ads on hover-over
- ads with sound on hover-over
Nearly all of them are served by adnxs.com (AppNexus.com) (nearly all unacceptable ads, some acceptable flash ads from local shops and sometimes - but rarely - ads for some kind of charities).
Sometimes I get legit (beautiful) ads (Surface, Samsung,..) from a different domain and rarely I get AdSense ads (served by Google.)
Adnxs.com is engadged in the distribution of Malware:

Penhold is a town in central Alberta, Canada. Penhold is surrounded by the county of Red Deer No. 23, 16 km (9.9 mi) south of Red Deer at the junction of Highway 2A and Highway 42. It is located 128 kilometres (80 mi) north of Calgary, along the Red Deer River
Originally, Penhold was one of the many whistle stops along the Canadian Pacific Railway. It incorporated as the Village of Penhold in 1904.
In 1981, the Village of Penhold incorporated as a town as a result of large population growth in the late 1970s.
The population of the Town of Penhold according to its 2014 municipal census is 2,842,[4] a 14.8% change from its 2012 municipal census population of 2,476.[5]
In the 2011 Census, the Town of Penhold had a population of 2,375 living in 889 of its 925 total dwellings, a 20.5% change from its 2006 adjusted population of 1,971. With a land area of 5.33 km2 (2.06 sq mi), it had a population density of 445.6/km2 (1,154.1/sq mi) in 2011.[2]
In 2006, Penhold had a population of 1,961 living in 732 dwellings, a 13.4% increase from 2001. The town has a land area of 2.35 km2 (0.91 sq mi) and a population density of 834.8 /km2 (2,162 /sq mi).[6]
Attractions in Penhold include a museum, a recreation centre, a splash park and an outdoor ice rink.
The town is home to two schools. A High School is under construction and will offer Penhold residents the ability to keep their children in Penhold from K-12.
Air Cadet Summer Training Centre[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (September 2011)
During the summer, Springbrook, a hamlet 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) north of Penhold, is home to Penhold Air Cadet Summer Training Centre (PACSTC) for the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. It was also the location of a now-decommissioned Diefenbunker government nuclear shelter.
During the summer PACSTC hosts approximately 800 air cadets at a time (approximately 1,700 air cadets throughout the summer) who attend one of the many courses offered on base. These are taught by an additional 150 staff cadets who run the canteen, sports activities, security and training on base. There is also approximately 200 officers and civilian instructors who supervise all activities at the summer training centre.
PACSTC offers the following courses:
- General Training - A two-week course designed for first year cadets which teaches basic cadet knowledge in all fields of air cadets including music, drill, physical fitness and gliding.
- Basic Drill and Ceremonial - A three-week course teaching basic leadership skills and preparing the cadet for higher-level leadership training.
- Drill and Ceremonial Instructor (DCIC)
- Air Rifle Marksmanship Instructor (ARMIC) - A six-week course in rifle safety, marksmanship and coaching of Olympic-style target shooting. Included in this course is some basic biathlon style shooting. Cadets taking this course can shoot the .177 Daisy 853c air rifle.
- Basic Band (Military Band) - A three-week course combining musical instruction with the more broad cadet instruction taught in the General Training course.
- Musician I-V (Military Band) - A six-week course of more advanced musical instruction.
- Flying Scholarship - A seven-week course where cadets aged 17 and 18 can train to gain their pilots license.
When the summer training centre is inactive for the fall, winter and spring, 7 Penhold Air Cadet Squadron parades at Hangar 6 on the base.

text:
Take the metaphor of living organisms as analogous to complex artifacts, which led William Paley to articulate the most famous argument in favor of Intelligent Design -- an argument that, incidentally, has not changed in its broad philosophical outline since the early 18th century. David Hume -- rather presciently, since he wrote before Paley -- pointed out that the metaphor is flawed. Hume argued that living organisms are not like watches, to use Paley's analogy. They are not machines that are assembled, but organic beings that develop gradually over time. Accordingly, the ID argument of "irreducible complexity," as it is known nowadays, doesn't make sense because it is based on the machine metaphor. To put it another way, biochemist Michael Behe doesn't understand how the bacterial flagellum could have evolved because he doesn't understand evolution and insists in thinking of the flagellum as a "propulsion engine" analogous to those built by Evinrude.
Yet, even serious biologists (i.e., unlike Behe) have been guilty of enthusiastically pushing what is clearly a flawed metaphor: the idea that the DNA sequence of an organism's genome is analogous to a computer "program," and that it provides the "blueprint" for building said organism. Hence the wild (and, as it turns out, completely unfounded) claim a few years ago that sequencing the human genome will tell us everything there is to know about "making" a human being. The human genome has been sequenced, and what we have found is that genes, though playing a crucial causal role in development, are just one piece of a vast and as yet largely unresolved puzzle.
Ironically, the harbinger of the demise of the genetic program-blueprint metaphor is the serious study of genomics itself. A recent article by Tanguy Chouard in Nature (20 November 2008) explains why. Researchers are finding out that what matters is not so much individual genes, but the way networks of genes function together. Take the example of the Bicoid gene in Drosophila: it was thought to be essential in establishing the form of the body in all insects, based on its effects on the development of body shape in fruit flies. No such thing, as it turns out. Once scientists looked for Bicoid-like genes in other insects they simply did not find them! Turns out that Drosophilais an exception (ah, the perils of "model" organisms), and that in species from wasps to beetles the job carried out by Bicoid is achieved by minor rearrangements of a large regulatory network encompassing a myriad of other genes.
According to the same article, biologists are even beginning to document how evolution transitions from one regulatory network to another. Phylogenetically informed investigations conducted with different species of yeast, for instance, show nice intermediate stages from one arrangement to another, demonstrating that major changes at the genetic level can occur with minimal disruption of physiological or other phenotypic features. Finally, researchers have modeled the evolution of large regulatory networks and found that any particular phenotype can be underlined by a huge number of functionally equivalent genotypes, which implies that evolution of genetic networks can often be semi-neutral with respect to the organism's fitness.
All of this should dispatch once and for all ideas like "genetic program" and "genetic blueprint," thereby also dramatically undercutting any claim to genetic determinism (as opposed to more mild "genetic causalism," for lack of a better term). There is no program or blueprint because the developmentally-relevant information is distributed among different levels of organization, including but not limited to the level of gene networks. So phenotypes are truly emergent properties of gene-gene (and of course, gene-environment) interactions. This is completely different from the case of human-made programs and blueprints, which feature a relationship between input and output that is much closer to a simple one-to-one mapping.
This is why living beings can evolve one complex feature after another without having to be "redesigned" from scratch. Hume was right: machines are simply not good metaphors for organisms, and it is time for stubbornly reductionist biologists to move on and search for better metaphors.

It happens every year, the first warm weekend of spring and homeowners want to start planting their garden. But it's a risk.
Marilyn Anderson, shopping for flowers and shrubs at Home Depot in Hermitage can't wait to get started.
"I've got to get it in earlier so mine will be bigger and prettier than anybody else's when the time for blooming comes" she said.
Store manager Brian Lane told Nashville's News 2 early spring is a fine time to plant certain types of flowers and vegetables.
"It's going to be different types of lettuce. It's going to be cabbage. We also have brussel sprouts and arugula" he said.
Walking along the aisles of ground cover, trees and annuals, Lane points out what can survive remaining cold nights.
"Pansy's are cool season annuals, and they'll handle the early spring weather," he said. "This is shamrock, oxalis. We get them in this time of year for St. Patrick's Day."
When is the best time for planting anything? Lane says it's easy to remember. "A good rule of thumb in this area for planting and freezes and stuff is more or less, tax day, April 15th," Lane said.
Anderson understands this, but warm weekends are too tempting. "My friend told me, 'it's going to be really frosty this week and next, and you probably shouldn't do it yet', but here we are with our little coats on going, 'Oh it's really chillier than it was yesterday.'"The Spring Equinox is Wednesday, March 20.
