Henry to join ex-Vol Bryson with Buffalo [6:15 AM]
Knoxville News Sentinel reports: '"I think I can stand the cold," joked Henry, who was the seventh running back selected in the draft. "Once I'm playing and my adrenaline gets flowing, it really doesn't matter."'
Buffalo getting job done in draft [5:34 AM]
D and C reports: 'The Bills began yesterday with 10 picks, but thanks to a pair of trade-down maneuvers in the first and second rounds, they accrued two more without affecting their player selection strategy.'
Bills take chance on aggressive corner [5:33 AM]
D and C reports: '"I've coached so many guys who won't take a chance," Williams said. "That really irritates me. . . . guys who stand out there and cover grass. There are a lot of those kind of guys in the NFL. You got to want to make a play."'
Bills hope NFL babies can make a big boom [5:31 AM]
Toronto Sun reports: '"I don't think it's a secret we need depth. We're hurting for bodies in Buffalo. We have 12 picks in this draft and we intend to do the best job with each and every one of them."'
Bills take Tennessee RB Travis Henry with 58th pick [7:34 PM]
Sportsticker reports: 'After splitting time with Jamal Lewis as a junior, Henry exploded for 1,314 yards and 11 touchdowns on 253 carries in 2000 and seems completely recovered from 1997 knee surgery.'
Henry would love to prove doubters wrong ... again [7:09 PM]
Nashville Tennessean reports: 'Henry will never be known for his speed, nor his explosiveness or even his size. His toughness and determination were what made him a nightmare to tackle in college.'
Bills take TCU DE Aaron Schobel with 46th pick [6:28 PM]
Sportsticker reports: 'Schobel captured the Western Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year award in 2000 despite playing with nagging injuries most of the season. The 6-3, 264-pounder collected 56 tackles and 6 1/2 sacks in his senior season.'
Bills add 2nd-round pick, draft Clements in first round [6:27 PM]
AP reports: 'Clements was the first cornerback taken in the draft, and is considered a need for the Bills who were seeking a strong, speedy defender to cover the NFL's top wide receivers. It's an added bonus for Buffalo, seeking to revamp its porous special teams, that Clements was Ohio State's top punt returner and backup kick returner.'
Bills take DB Nate Clements with 21st pick in draft [6:26 PM]
Sportsticker reports: 'After undergoing foot surgery in January 2000, Clements had a solid final season for the Buckeyes, intercepting four passes and breaking up 13 others. The 5-11 Clements, who left school after his junior season, solidified his draft position with a strong showing at the combine.'
Clements has his critics covered [3:23 PM]
Columbus Dispatch reports: 'Brian DeLucia, publisher of NFLDigest.com, ranks Clements No. 1 among corners. One reason is Clements' brass, and his willingness to stand up "to anyone and he will muscle receivers," DeLucia said. "The only negative is that he will lose awareness of the ball at times downfield in man coverage and not be in position to make a play."'
Bills wait as Falcons go for No. 1 [9:11 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Whether a premier defensive lineman will fall to the Bills' 14th overall selection is one of many uncertainties in what shapes up as the most unpredictable, wide-open first rounds in recent years.'
Bills feel the heat [6:56 AM]
Toronto Sun reports: '"I've got great confidence in the coaches and Dwight and his staff, I promise you we will have an outstanding draft," Donahoe said. As Bills fans know, he's going to need it.'

Washington Post reports: '[Donovan] Greer, 26, agreed to a three-year contact with a $400,000 signing bonus and a salary around $448,000, the minimum for a four-year player. He gives the Redskins depth at cornerback behind Champ Bailey, Deion Sanders and Darrell Green.'
Draft needed to fill Bills [5:17 AM]
D and C reports: 'The NFL Draft has arrived, and not since the early days of the Bill Polian Era when the Bills were trying to regain their pulse after back-to-back 2-14 seasons has a draft been this meaningful to the future of the Bills.'
Levy had draft day studs and duds [5:16 AM]
D and C reports: '"Mr. Wilson would make suggestions, but he never told us who to take," he said. "If he had been impressed with someone he had seen in a televised college game, we would brief him thoroughly on that player. He was open-minded. He understood that the draft is a risky proposition."'
Join TBD in the Chat Room all weekend! [1:54 AM]
TBD reports: Join TBD and the posters at the Stadium Wall in our chat room all weekend long. Talk about the Bills selections - where they went wrong and what they did right!
Redskins sign free agent Donovan Greer [1:50 AM]
AP reports: 'The Redskins also signed free agent Donovan Greer, a nickel back with the Buffalo Bills the past three seasons.'
TBD reports: 'Center is the most stable off-season position in the game of football. The 2001 off-season is no exception. There are likely only two teams in the NFL going into the draft with a major need at the position. Free agency could very easily reduce this to just one.'
Donahoe ready for first draft with Bills [8:33 PM]
Pittsburgh Tribune Review reports: 'He arrives at work before 6 every morning and never goes home before 10 that night.'
Bills sign free agent for O-line [8:59 AM]

Buffalo Bills sign Kris Farris [8:11 PM]
AP reports: 'Farris was Pittsburgh's third-round draft pick in 1999 but missed the entire season with a broken foot. He was obtained on waivers by the Bengals in August only to be waived a day later.'
Donahoe's first 100 days with Bills have been a blast [8:10 PM]
AP reports: 'Friday marks Donahoe's 100th day on the job. Despite the challenges he's faced, and on the eve of his first NFL draft at the helm, Donahoe is having the time of his life. "We kind of hit the ground sprinting, and it hasn't stopped. But it's been a lot of fun," Donahoe said. "I've never looked at it as a job. I feel rejuvenated."'
Bills agree to terms with tackle Kris Farris [5:10 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'The Bills today announced that the team has agreed to terms with free agent offensive tackle Kris Farris. Farris (6-8, 322) entered the NFL as a third-round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1999 out of UCLA. He spent the entire 1999 season on injured reserve due to a stress fracture in his foot and also missed the entire 2000 season.'
ESPN.com's mock draft: first round [12:53 PM]
ESPN reports: NFL mock draft, conducted by John Clayton, Greg Garber, Chris Mortensen, Mel Kiper, ESPN coordinating producer Howie Schwab, ESPN.com AFC columnist Mark Cannizzaro, ESPN.com NFC columnist Tom Oates, and ESPN.com NFL editors Joe Lago and Peter Lawrence-Riddell. Cannizaro has the Bills taking Miami's Damione Lewis at 14, "a guy the Jets love." Cannizaro covers the Jets for a NY paper; why would he think the Bills would love him too?
Dolphins sign free agent T Marcus Spriggs [12:52 PM]
AP reports: "With free agent left tackle Richmond Webb in limbo, the Miami Dolphins plucked tackle Marcus Spriggs from AFC East rival Buffalo. Spriggs signed a two-year contract on Thursday. Financial terms were not disclosed."
Trading down might be teams' best option [12:46 PM]
ESPN reports: "Normally, the thought of trading out of the top five of the draft is shameful. Trading down usually was a sellout. Though draftees are paid in accordance to their selection, what might be good for the budget may not be good for the personnel."
Kiper: Risers, fallers and sleepers [12:44 PM]
ESPN reports: "Following are alphabetical lists of prospects who have appeared on Mel Kiper Jr.'s Big Board throughout the 2001 season. For months, Mel has been evaluating these prospects, with the 2001 NFL draft in view."

Obviously, they need to follow what other teams are doing so they know who is available."
Players remember Draft Day [12:39 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: "One current Bill who didn't have to worry about getting selected but where he would be picked was receiver Peerless Price. Price, who was a member of the the University of Tennessee's national championship season in 1999, had been persued by several NFL clubs and been touted as a first-round pick, heightening his expectations on Draft day..."

(CNN) - One of the students who was involved in the death of Robert Champion during a hazing initiation was sentenced Monday to six months of community control, two years of supervised probation and 200 hours of community service.
Another student had said he saw Bryan Jones holding the Florida A&M University band member in a bear hug.
Jones, who had previously pleaded not guilty before changing his plea to no contest, was sentenced on a charge of felony hazing resulting in death. The judge said if Jones didn't abide by the sentencing order he would face up to 72 months in a state penitentiary.
Jones will be required to document where he is going and make requests for trips under community control, which is the highest form of probation you can receive. It falls short of house arrest.
Champion died after taking part in a band hazing ritual that eventually led to his death. The ritual, known as crossing the bus, is an initiation process in which pledges attempt to run down the center aisle from the front door of the bus to the back while being punched, kicked and assaulted by senior members, band members have said.
Champion collapsed in Orlando on the bus, which was carrying members of FAMU's Marching 100 after a November football game that included a halftime performance by the group.
The medical examiner's office ruled his death a homicide and said Champion "collapsed and died within an hour of a hazing incident during which he suffered multiple blunt trauma blows to his body." An autopsy found "extensive contusions of his chest, arms, shoulder and back" as well as "evidence of crushing areas of subcutaneous fat."
WFTV reporter Daralene Jones tweeted that Jones corrected the spelling of his name to "Brian" instead of "Bryan" while in court on Monday after various spellings had been used. CNN is looking to confirm the spelling.

God Decides, We Measure
The former chair of the Harvard University physics department muses on how faith gives meaning to his scientific work.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The former chair of the Harvard University physics department muses on how faith gives meaning to his scientific work.
When you are in church, do you act and speak differently than when you are in school? Do you tend to compartmentalize what you learn about in Biology class from what you learn about in Sunday School?
Scripture gives us multiple ways of looking at things, and a classic example of this is the parables of Jesus. Many of these involve looking at nature. For example, natural events like seeds growing—and what Jesus seems to be saying is look there is a surface reading of nature—and then there is the deeper reading, where you begin to realize there are levels of meaning that we don't pick up on our first acquaintance.
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
It should be noted that indeterminacy does not imply that God does not have foreknowledge of future events. Christians ought not to be uncomfortable with the idea of God interacting with his creation through chance.
As he endeavored to learn more, David was intrigued by Francis Collins book The Language of God because Francis did not present evolution as a rival theory to Christian faith, but as something that described God's method of creation.
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the idea of randomness as a part of natural selection, and whether it challenges the possibility of God using the evolutionary process as a means of creation.
"If I have one criticism of my fellow theologians from time to time, it's that they're often stuck in the physics of the 19th century rather than the 20th and 21st centuries."
In 1967, biologists Roger Payne and Scott McVay discovered that humpback whales "sing" and published recordings of the whales' complex vocalizations, after which "whale song" quickly entered the popular consciousness and helped propel the "save the whales" environmental movement forward.
I commit myself to my Christian belief for reasons that are sufficient enough for me to bet my life upon it. But we don't have absolute certainty in the 2+2=4 sense. And that is true of everybody.
We should not be ashamed of the fact that our faith integrates spirit and body; our faith calls us to regard the stuff of creation in all of its materiality as good, and thus offers the best starting point for the practice and pleasure of art.
For many, the importance of apparent randomness in evolution can be a major stumbling block when considering whether God could have created through an evolutionary process.
Both the arts and sciences are facets of "faith seeking understanding," and we reject the cultural trend of seeing each field of endeavor—science, the arts, theology, or even Christian ministry—as distinct, autonomous activities divorced from the others.
In our first Distinctions video -- featuring biologists Sean Carroll and Kerry Fulcher, Smithsonian Human Origins Program director Rick Potts, and Old Testament scholar John Walton -- we look at the concept of randomness.
How can a scientist really believe in miracles? How, or why, does a scientist pray? And how could a physicist possibly believe in the Resurrection of Jesus?
This video features a discussion with Mark Sprinkle -- painter, educator, writer, and BioLogos Senior Fellow -- about the relationship between art and science.
Who is this that obscures my plans with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me. "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand.
Artist and BioLogos Senior Fellow Mark Sprinkle describes the importance of acknowledging the creative and subjective aspects of human knowledge in the midst of the debates about the relationship between science and faith.
Scientists become fairly comfortable with a certain level of uncertainty within scientific data, notes Kathryn Applegate, but that is not the case for most people, especially where faith is concerned

Budapest is a dynamic city that has just awoken from a long sleep. You will be taken on a journey back into time.
The mighty Danube flows through Budapest. The river divides the city into two parts: Buda and Pest. Buda is hilly, has a medieval atmosphere and was home to most of the aristocracy. Pest is flat, has a nineteenth-century atmosphere and was the district inhabited by the bourgeoisie. The two worlds were linked by seven bridges, each with its own ambience.
Only a few statues in Budapest still commemorate the Russian period. Most of the statues of this period have been replaced by statues of Hungarian heroes. In Szobor Park at the border of the city, there is a collection of communist statues that once dominated the city. Most historical architectural styles are represented in Budapest. The hotchpotch of styles is clearly shown in the fairytale Vajdahunyad Castle.

I'm not settled on a definitive view of who is to blame. What I do know is that him leaving the Fins isn't the worst thing in the world but him joining the Jets is probably the last place we would want him to go too.
After hearing about the news I immediately thought about when we got Pennington. Yes it is not the same situation and different circumstances but Pennington was bitter and came back to haunt the Jets at the end of the season. I will be crossing my fingers he does not haunt the Fins.
No matter who is to blame though, screw JT for signing with the Jests. Whatever the situation is, you don't go to the dark side. This is going to make Hard Knocks that much better.

How to Secure Windows and Doors
Exterior Doors
The metal plate on the door frame that the latch rests in is called the "strike." The strike should be securely installed into the framing timbers with 2½" or 3" screws. If long screws cannot be used, extra long (8" - 12") strike plates should be used.
Always know who is at the door before you open it. A wide-angle door viewer will allow you to see who is outside without opening the door.
All deadbolts should have a bolt which extends at least 1" when in the locked position, a cylinder guard ring of case-hardened steel which rotates freely, a hardened steel insert or bolt-bearing (to prevent sawing the bolt off), and mounting bolts of at least 1/4" in diameter and as long as possible given the door and frame dimensions.
Certain deadbolts require a key for both sides of the door — these are called "double cylinder" deadbolts. These locks are especially effective for doors with glass within 40" of the lock. An intruder cannot break the glass and unlock the door by reaching through. Some authorities recommend leaving the key in the lock when you're at home for ready exit in an emergency. It is also recommended that one door, preferably the primary exit, not have a double key lock on it.
Some jurisdictions do not allow these locks — check with your local law enforcement or building code authorities before installing a double key lock.
Another solution for doors with glass in or near them is to install shatterproof glass or polycarbonate. This is more expensive than regular glass and should be installed by professionals, but it works!
A "police lock" works well on rear and basement doors and in apartments. It is a metal bar bracketed against the inside of the door at an angle, which slides into a small hole in the floor. It prevents an intruder from jimmying or kicking in the door.
Padlocks are typically used for garages, sheds, storage areas and workshops. Look for a sturdy padlock that doesn't release the key until the padlock is locked. It should have a rugged laminated case with a 3/8 inch shackle so it can resist being smashed. A double locking design can prevent the shackle from being pried away from its case. Remember that a padlock is only as good as its hasp. The hasp should be secured with bolts and mounted on a metal plate. Be sure bolts are concealed when the padlock is locked.
Sliding Glass Doors and Windows
Louvered Windows
Grilles or grates are recommended for louvered windows or any especially vulnerable window (like those concealed from casual observation or at street level). Make sure grilles are equipped with a quick release feature for emergency exits.
Double Hung Windows
You can buy special locks for windows. Keep the keys away from the windows, but make sure everyone in the house knows where to find them in case of emergency.
An easy, inexpensive way to secure your windows is to use the 'pin' trick. Drill an angled hole through the top frame of the lower window partially into the frame of the upper window. Then insert a nail or an eyebolt. The window can't be opened until you remove the nail. Make a second set of holes with the windows partly opened so you can have ventilation without inviting intruders. Eyebolts can provide strong resistance against jimmying.
Always use your locks. Even a 5-minute trip to the store is long enough for a burglar to enter your home.

Undergraduate Research Opportunities
Why Get Research Experience in Psychology?
One advantage for students who attend large state universities with graduate programs is the opportunity to actively participate in research projects conducted by faculty members and graduate students. Participating in research allows a student "hands on" experience in their chosen field, an opportunity to see the scientific process in action, and the chance to become better acquainted with a faculty member who can serve as a mentor to the student.
The Psychology Department at KSU is very research oriented. Faculty members are actively engaged in research, and graduate students in our Ph.D. Clinical and Experimental programs conduct their own independent research projects. Students engaged in research often are able to assist with data collection, learn data management skills, read articles relevant to the lab research projects, and attend lab meetings. Participating in research is also good preparation for students interested in attending graduate school (for more on this topic, see " Want to Go to Graduate School?"). Paid research positions are rare, but undergraduates majoring or minoring in Psychology can earn course credit (PSYC 31498 or PSYC 41498).

Environmental InformationContrary to the common idea, products in plastic materials are highly ecological for the reason that they can be recycled (with the exception of polyurethane, little used in Kartell products). Thus, Kartell products can be easily recycled. In order to simplify the recycling process, the various components of Kartell products can be easily separated and reduced to elements made of one single material. Moreover, the plastic parts of each product carry, clearly printed, an identification mark to determine the correct classification of the different kinds of plastic and their effective recycling.
About The Manufacturer
Creativity and technology, glamour and functionality, quality and innovation: a combination of extraordinary factors together with a strategic vision of distribution has contributed to the lasting success of Kartell. By cultural and entrepreneurial choice, since its origins in 1949 the Italian manufacturer has chosen to characterize itself as the market leader in the production of designers articles which use technology and plastic materials. This choice requires a great understanding of materials and transformation technology. A leader in furniture design, Kartell addresses an international audience with a collection unique in originality, variety, size, and range.

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton grabbed pole position for the Formula One Qantas Australian Grand Prix after a searing lap in qualifying at Albert Park on Saturday afternoon.
The 27-year-old Briton recorded a lap of 1min 24.992secs to edge teammate Jenson Button by 0.152secs for an all-McLaren front row – the first time the two world champions have monopolised the front row together at McLaren.
The pole was the 20th of Hamilton's career in his 91st race, and was his first since the Korean Grand Prix of 2011, the only race last season where a Red Bull wasn't on pole.
Lotus showed its pre-season pace was legitimate when Frenchman Romain Grosjean upstaged several of the biggest names in the sport to finish third, three-tenths of a second behind Hamilton's benchmark time in a superb return to the sport for the 2011 GP2 champion, who competed in seven races for Renault in 2009.
Michael Schumacher was fourth for Mercedes, while Australian Mark Webber elected to complete just one timed lap in the final part of qualifying and finished fifth, one place ahead of teammate and reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel, as the Red Bull duo were seven-tenths of a second shy of Hamilton's searing pace.
Nico Rosberg of Mercedes, Pastor Maldonado of Williams, Nico Hulkenberg of Sahara Force India and Australian Daniel Ricciardo from Scuderia Toro Rosso rounded out the top 10, Ricciardo's effort to qualify inside the top 10 for the first time at his home Grand Prix another highlight.
While there were smiles at McLaren after a dominant 1-2, faces were longer at Ferrari, with the famed Italian team seeing both cars eliminated in the second part of the session. Fernando Alonso speared off the road at Turn 1 and beached the car in the gravel, eventually ending up 12th, while under-pressure teammate Felipe Massa was a lowly 16th.
Returning 2007 world champion Kimi Raikkonen was the shock elimination after the opening 20-minute part of qualifying for Lotus.
The Finn had a lurid moment at Turn 12 on his final flying lap on the slower medium-compound Pirelli rubber. The 2007 Melbourne winner will start Sunday's Grand Prix from 18th place.
Alonso's spin in Q2 caused a five-minute delay to retrieve his car, and when the session re-started, the Mercedes duo of Rosberg and Schumacher led the charge.
Ricciardo scraped into Q3 by one-tenth of a second from debutant teammate Jean-Eric Vergne as just nine-tenths of a second covered the top 10 in Q2.
Hamilton needed just one lap in the final part of qualifying to set the fastest time of the weekend with five minutes remaining, and Webber was his closest challenger as the session entered its final minute.
Schumacher, Grosjean and Button then slotted in behind Hamilton, and Vettel's last lap was good for just sixth as McLaren celebrated a superb start to the season.
Behind the British duo, Grosjean's effort to finish third on his first visit to the Albert Park circuit was an outstanding performance, while Red Bull will be scratching their heads to discover why their prodigious pre-season pace translated to just the third row of the grid.

"Very nice"
By William Kumley
Comments: My wife loved the crystal heart wine stopper I got her for our anniversary. It is very well made and the box it came in was a very nice touch adding to the elegance of the present. I did spend the extra money for the gift packaging so that may be the reason for the box, but it was worth it as I didn't have to worry about anything after I placed the order. It was also completed very fast and shipped very fast as well.

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. announced June 28 that a U.S. Air Force PredatorÆ RPA has reached a record 20,000 flight hours on a single aircraft, the highest flight time of any U.S. Air Force Predator.
The milestone was achieved by Predator 107 (P107) while performing a 21-hour combat mission in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan on May 5.
ìAmassing 20,000 hours on a single RPA airframe is a remarkable achievement and a true testament to the GA-ASI team, which strives to create highly reliable, durable, and life-saving tools in support of the warfighter,î said Frank W. Pace, president, Aircraft Systems Group, GA-ASI. ìWith the highest Mission Capable Rate of any aircraft in the Air Force inventory, Predators will be available to support our boots on the ground for many years to come.
P107 was delivered to USAF in October 2004, where it began service with the 57th Wing Air Combat Command. In June 2008, the aircraft was transferred to the 432nd Wing with the standup of the first U.S. Air Force Remotely Piloted Aircraft Wing. More than 95 percent of P107ís flight time has been flown in combat in support of Overseas Contingency Operations.
Providing essential situational awareness for the warfighter, Predators continue to excel in combat missions focusing on Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance, targeting, forward air control, laser designation, weapons delivery, and bomb damage assessment. Predator was first flown in 1994 and is the first-ever weaponized RPA, featuring precision air-to-ground weapons delivery capability. Arguably the most successful RPA in history, the aircraft has deployed to the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iraq and other world trouble spots.

Why Do So Many People Loathe Their Jobs - And How Do We Fix That?
The default context for work is this: work is not fun, but we need to do it to make a living.
And we dream that, one day, when we "make it big" and earn enough money, we can quit work and have more fun in life.
In other words, for most people work is seen as the opposite of fun.
I believe that is a lie which we've been born into.
For a lot of people - even today - work is their passion, their mission in life, the source of fulfilment and a means through which they make a difference. People have dedicated their lives to their jobs. They have even died - willingly - because they believed their work had meaning greater than their own life/
It's an incredible gift and a privilege to enjoy your work. The question is - how to we allow more people experience that gift? How do we stop people from wasting their lives in meaningless 9-5 jobs which they loathe?
How to we allow people to realise their passions and translate them into successful, profitable business ventures which feed their souls and make a difference?
Those are the questions I'm interested in exploring.
Mar 19 2013: Hi Steven,
WE, do not fix it for other people...we can only create our own reality. As a child, I learned to do what I love, and/or love what I'm doing:>)
If we go into something believing that "work is not fun, but we need to do it to make a living", that is exactly how we will perceive the experience. I have always been able to find SOMETHING about any task that is fun and enjoyable...even if it is as simple as realizing that the task is not my favorite thing to do. Could be the only thing I learn is that it feels REALLY good when it's finished, and there may be some contentment or pride in having finished something that may not have been the favorite thing.
What is the point in spending time and energy loathing something? Change our thinking, we may change our feelings, which may change the life experience for us. I call the life adventure my work/play. Everything I do provides a multitude of opportunities. Sometimes, in order to "fix" our perception of something, we simply need to open our mind and heart to the possibilities. With EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING, there is ALWAYS the opportunity to learn, grow and evolve, and that is very joyful for me.
I agree with you...."It's an incredible gift and a privilege to enjoy your work". It is a gift we can give to ourselves simply by changing our perceptions. Passion is not something "out there" somewhere. It is a feeling we can nurture in ourselves.....or not.Mar 14 2013: The problem we have as a society is that we are often dreaming about "making it big" instead of living in the moment and doing what we can today to make things better. We are unhappy with what we have, with what we are doing and dream of a better time. There is really no better time than now to change that thinking...we need to look at the things we like about life, about our lives and build on that. You have to decide whether you want to follow your passion or follow the money. I do believe that following your passion should be your first step and then examine whether there are ways to make more money doing it. I think it's better to make a "comfortable living" do what you love to do than to try to gather lots of money in the hope to one day do what you love to do. Remember the quote: "Tomorrow is promised to no one."
Mar 14 2013: Good points, Barry. May I ask - what's your passion?
Mar 15 2013: Photography, arts, culture and heritage.Mar 19 2013: I think personal autonomy plays an important part in job satisfaction. By that I mean having the opportunity to take full possession of jobs assigned to you and therefore experiencing the passion-enhancing thrill and esteem that comes with doing those jobs well.
Any passion in a job gets destroyed by autocratic 'rule book' management, inappropriate project possessiveness, and disrespect for employee talent. But the real destroyer is management taking the accolades for the work you have done, with no acknowledgement whatsoever. (I speak from personal experience)
Without respect and autonomy, the 9-5 workplace will forever be 'just a meaningless, loathsome means to an end'.
I guess the answer is in your question: to find that personal passion and then go all-out to translate that into being your own boss as a self-employed professional. Not always easy, but well worth the hassle once a reputation has been established.Mar 15 2013: Steven, As I read through the replies, I was astounded by all the .. its the companies fault .. responses. So I want to ask some questions from the other side. You apply for the job: Nuclear Physicist and during your interview you tell me you have a degree in Under Water Basketweaving with five semesters in the life of Elvis the younger years. I say there is a job in transportation if you are interested ... you take it and think that you can work you way into the Physicists job. Your very unhappy and will stay that way.
It is all about expectations.
My kids want to leave home and move into a place that has all of the things that it took my wife and I fifty years to build up to. They don't want a job they want a position ... with pay to match. Is this a reasonable expectation?
It is the job of Human Resources and the interviewer to recommend those who have the best opportunities to match the job and person to the benefit of the company. Yep companies are about profit ... it ain't gonna change get over it. The company does not owe you anything. They have a job available and you need one.
Mom and dad spent big buck to get you an education and if you major in Ping Pong ... good luck with that. We say we need to improve our education system .. no argument. We also need to make good and realistic choices. Just because you can take 32 courses in the history of jazz does not mean you should ... Poor planning on your part does not necessitate a change by me to facilitate you.
Not everything is the fault of the man .... the rich .... someone else. Time to man up. Some of the blame may be your fault .... sorry to break it to you ..... Just because politicians blame everything on the other guys .... is not a good practice for those of us who work for a living.
I wish you well. Bob.Mar 15 2013: I find work cuts into my free time.
Zdenek Smith
Mar 14 2013: We need to dramatically improve our education system so that kids grow up knowing what are they capable of and that they can follow their dreams. If we give kids good foundation of entrepreneurship, communication and creativity, they will more likely be able to find jobs they like. They will also will be more likely to create such jobs for themselves i.e. creating their own businesses.
- +1
I think for people working in jobs they don't like, they can continue to educate themselves in areas of interest and in their free time try to volunteer or otherwise exercise skills in those areas. Hopefully that will help them to switch to a job they like to do?Mar 14 2013: Probably because quite simply everybody wants natural happiness (e.g material gain) and that once you achieve your goal, you just set a higher one.
And that due to this not many go into a state of "flow"
Watch the Ted talk : http://www.ted.com/talks/mihaly_csikszentmihalyi_on_flow.html
and there may be not enough intrinisc motivation.
Watch the Ted talk : http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pink_on_motivation.html
I mean there are many ways to make work more meaningful, rather than just promising profit. I hope I have helped with this conversation. :)

.Mar 18 2013: I worked with information (computer) systems for over thirty years. I think I loved my job for about three years.
In my experience, it is a very rare individual who still loves their job after a few years in the same position.
Most people eventually get a job doing what they do well. Most people want to maximize their income, and that is best accomplished by repeatedly doing what you do best. I think it is unrealistic to expect that you will like an activity just because you are good at it. The idealistic notion of finding your passion and following it does sometimes work out for the best. But just because you are passionate about something does not mean you are necessarily good at it. There are many passionate actors looking for work.
Mar 19 2013: I am not certain it's just the individual that's rare,,,I think the workplace plays a role in keeping in touch with the staff and working with them in a productive manner.
I worked at a job I loved for over 25 years, as did most of those I worked with....but that probably is unusual.Mar 18 2013: Asking whether anyone loves their job seems to be a real conversation stopper...does anyone like their job?
Fritzie -
Mar 19 2013: Of course people can love their jobs if they are doing things they find worthwhile and feeling opportunities to be challenged, to be creative, and to learn. Why not?Mar 17 2013: Anyone out there that loves their job? If you do have a job you love, I have a question/s for you: Was it the job that you loved from the start or did you fall in love with it? Was your relationship with your job something you had to work on? I'd be interested in hearing from people. Do you think that people really loathe their jobs or is maybe some of it to do with how the person relates to their job? The words from the 1970's song is in my head" "if you can't be with the one you love...then love the one you're with." Not saying that you don't move to a better job when it becomes available, but for now do the best with what you have and try to have as positive an attitude. What do you think?Mar 15 2013: With not forcing our children to choose certain paths that we (their parents) like.
- +1
With encouraging our friends and children to follow their heart and not to choose their career by force of society or for financial reasons.Mar 15 2013: The MASTER/SLAVE relationship model used in the job market is unhealthy. People should all be bosses of themselves. Too many power and control freaks squeezing the health and happiness out of the lives of others. EQUALITY. RESPECT. TRUTH. Stuff like that will elevate output, profits, health, happiness and general well-being of individuals and society.Mar 14 2013: well, not convinced so many people loathe their jobs. What is your evidence on that?
Mar 14 2013: Look, first of all I'd like to point out that we'll always find evidence for what we want to believe, so even if I provide you with it (or you provide evidence to the contrary) it's not necessarily an indicator as to whether the situation exists.
All I know is I meet a lot of people who, when I ask them how they are - say to me "I'm busy working - and you know, work is work", "I'll be better when I finish the day/workweek" or "It's Monday - how do you think I am?"
And how many happy faces do you see if you stroll through the city at lunchtime? Or when you're on a bus at 5pm?
It seems that there's a belief that we're born into, which goes something like: "work = sucks". And anything not work = "fun".
I think if we buy into that we short change ourselves because we're effectively condemning ourselves to big chunk of our life being of lesser quality than it could be. Work can be a huge source of fun, fulfilment and meaning - we just need to find a way to help more people tap into that.
StevenMar 14 2013: You could get everyone you know to watch these videos:
Mar 14 2013: How good is that RSA video!Mar 14 2013: And then there's this one of course:
http://www.ted.com/talks/steve_jobs_how_to_live_before_you_die.htmlMar 14 2013: You might be interested as one part of your research in reading Studs Terkel's classic book Working. He interviewed hundreds of people in all sorts of jobs, mostly not professional or 'elite" sorts of jobs.
What I found truly intriguing was how almost all of his subjects addressed how they made the most of that particular stepping stone in their unfolding lives.
Beyond this, there is room on both ends of employment for productive movement. One is for the employee or not-yet-employee to become adept at taking every opportunity to learn not only about things he finds immediately interesting but also about what his immediate situation offers. On the employer end, employees will be more productive and innovative if their work is made more interesting and if they have some range of choice in what they do or how they do it rather than being entirely routinized.
Mar 14 2013: " On the employer end, employees will be more productive and innovative if their work is made more interesting and if they have some range of choice in what they do or how they do it rather than being entirely routinized."
From what I see in many companies, unfortunately there is a trend to make ever larger profit and cut expenses related to employees. This results in fewer choices for employees. Companies are less willing to provide in-house training, transition to a new career within the company and allow greater work schedule.
The future does not look good for non-IT employees as the growing automation will continue to replace more and more people, causing high degree of competition between job applicants, thus giving employers more power over employees?
Mar 14 2013: Hi, Zdenek. An organization that benefits from productive employees who go beyond what they are required to do has an incentive to organize work to get that sort of performance from employees. The company may not be able to offer bonuses or a channel to promotion within the company, but it can often restructure work processes at little cost to make the employee happier in his work and therefore more commited and productive.
There is not necessarily a tradeoff between employee satisfaction and benefit to the company. The two can move in the same direction.
I am not saying that organizations or managers are necessarily skillful at this, but it is a growth area for managers and high level decisionmakers at firms.
Mar 15 2013: Hi Fritzie,
Yes I agree with you. However I see growing trend that drives businesses in opposite direction. I think because of pressure from shareholders and increasing competition from oversea, businesses increasingly care more about short term benefits than long term gains from having happier employees.
It does take time, skills and effort to make a good environment for employees and some leading edge companies are recognizing this. However it is easier for many companies to use carrot and stick approach esp. if they feel they have easy way to replace their workers.
CheersMar 18 2013: Hello Fritizie and Zdenek,
Thanks for the interesting exchange. My two cents worth: In many instances, the manager does what is easiest for the manager to do, not necessarily what is best for the company. Companies that want to make employees more involved and happier (and stay longer) are sometimes thwarted by lower level managers.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I've been playing dg for about 5 weeks. My average drive is 200 feet. I do not care if I have a noodle arm, but what I don't need is disc golf keyboard elitists spouting off about "noodle arms with their Katanas and Grooves". Show some support.
On the course do you see somone learning and say "fuckin' noob, learn how to throw an Ape, stop throwin' that Nuke you fucking bum"? No. Nine times out of ten an experienced dg'er doesn't care, he's more than willing to give tips, and he could not be a nicer guy.
But behind the keyboard some of you guys are just complete elitist pricks. You probably exaggerate your drive distance, tell fake stories about aces you've never made. I don't know if these things are true, but the way you act certainly leaves a person with any semblance of rationality to believe so.
Some of you behave as if you don't want this game to grow. Like being above the "noobs" gives you some kind of status. Well, it doesn't. Your just a disc golfer. Like me, the 5 week novice with the 200 ft drive. We both love the same thing, but your need to feel some kind of false superiority is preventing you from identifying with me because of the anonymity offered by the internet.
Treat us newcomers and novices the way you would have wanted to be treated when you were starting out. I highly doubt most professionals would have this negative attitude towards new players, because they love the sport enough to want to see it grow. You should too.
Moral: Don't be dicks, give us noobs some tips.
Thank you.

O.K. I have to call off on this one.
Yes being a newbie is tough. Everyone who is anyone started out as a newbie.
I started out as a newbie. My wife started out as a newbie.
Truth be told, we had come across our fair share of azzholes, etc and a better share of good Disc Golfers who treated newbie with respect.
No matter what sport or group, you will always have a mixture of personalities. Alot who understand and are supportive, and a few who are not (that is being kind in their description). And also in any sport, there will be people who brag, exagerate, and look down their noses upon newbies.
The key is to learn from those who care about the sport, and lack of better words "To Hell" with the azzes, b*tches, D*cks, and etc. And yes it is easier to be a prick on the net. What the heck, more then likely you will never see the person in person. Just let the negative people be "Water on a duck's back".
If I had let the "meanies" dictate my love of the sport, I wouldn't be still playing. The best revenge to people like that is to learn, grow, and become a better player. When I first started, and I saw later when my wife started, people would be upset when teamed up with me then latter on her. They would whisper under their breath "damn' or what ever. But as I and my wife continued to play, they still say "damn" but at least it is not under their breath (just kidding). Time, practice, and a little tough skin will go a long way in this sport, hell, tough skin goes a long way in any sport.
Seems a little unnecessary doesnt it?
Who says all of us of want this sport to grow?
As a manufacturer I want this sport to grow for selfish reasons, I'm sure pros and retailers want it to grow for the same selfish reasons.
But as a player who will most likely never commit to the game enough to go pro and make a living at it (like I have the talent and the commitment is the problem, ha) why would I want it to grow?
- a bunch of new players that dont return my hard to find very sentimental discs to me
-disc technology won't benefit by new players
-longer lines at my courses
-more danger of injury by wayward discs thrown be the ever and ever less respectful and intelligent kids I see on the course
-paying to play at courses that used to be free because they have to pay somebody to clean up after the disrespectful players.
The list goes on. So no, some people don't really want this sport to grow, so before you start throwing names around maybe step back and view it from a different perspective.
If I am asked by a noob I know to be a good person I have no problem helping them out, but if they are throwing beer cans everywhere, kicking over garbage cans and firing drives into the group in front of them, guess what I really don't feel like helping them out. I would rather they suck, become discouraged and never return to destroy the courses a few people had to work so hard to get.
I know sad but true. :(
My point is that these people only act this way on the internet from my experience. Every person I've came across on the courses has been nothing but nice and supportive, part of why I love the sport so much. My other point is that this behavior only detracts from the growth of the sport. I understand where you're coming from, to just not let the assholes get to you, but if these people really love the sport and want it to grow, they need an attitude adjustment.
One of the first places many new disc golfers will pick up info is the internet, and these people trying to be cool could possibly be driving the, away.
I just want to get the message out there that if you encounter these pricks let them know how damaging their behavior is.
We've both acknowledged that the assholes exist. It's just whether or not you want to passively let them continue their potentially destructive behavior to the sport in online forums or do you want to stand for a change and let these dipshits know that they are only hurting the game we all love.
I have tough skin, but some people out there may not. Disc golf players should be together as one community for the good of the sport, not segregated by skill level for the sole purpose of mocking and gloating. At some point, you have to tell a retarded kid to stop banging his head against a wall, and that is metaphorically what these elitist dicks are doing on the internet everyday.
I for one never disrespect the course. But living in rural Iowa I have my selfish reasons for wanting the sport to grow. I'd like to see tournaments. I'd like to see my run down courses fixed up. I'd like to see new courses built.
Fuck it, maybe it boils down to the fact that I am fucking sick of looking for advice only to see people laughing at 250 ft drives, something I've done once, downhill with tailwind. So yeah, I'm a bit discouraged by the fucking pricks on here who act like they've never been there before. I'm just a different person, I'm not a fucking faggot pussy who needs to validate themselves by slamming 'noodle arms' and bragging about my 450 ft drives. Fuck it.
You guys probably have baskets that aren't vandalized to shit, courses that are more than just poles to tee from instead of concrete pads, etc. So I want a little growth and the empathy I would give my fellow man, but it looks like I'm in the minority so I'll just have to keep playing, until I can get good enough to tell these keyboard warriors myself that it's not gonna get them laid to post their awesome average drive and bash on weak armed noobs.
Just start off by having Fun ! You will learn things about Disc Golf the more you play. Remember , you are playing the Course , not somone else.
I'll even go to a empty field and throw different types of shots for my own benefit. I know some who have never played in any tournaments and still enjoy the Sport for what it is !
Experiment with different disc's and see what's right for you. Don't worry about distance , that comes with practice and the correct technique.
Remember to have Fun and Enjoy the outdoors.
I have been playing disc golf since the late 70's and everyone starts from scratch.
Promote Disc Golf where and when you can and try to enjoy other folks company.
Every one has good days and bad days. Nothing is Always perfect.
You can always contact me through our website : www.sandiegoaces.com
Enjoy !
I have started a facebook group for disc golfers in my area in hopes of bringing the community together and maybe even raising awareness to the needs of our areas courses.
My favorite thing to do as a beginner is open field and near basket practice, just getting my form right, getting the feel of a good shot and just repeating it over and over. I do have 2 aces to my credit now, and despite my lack of power am learning fairly quickly. I mostly have trouble keeping my arm level and having the disc go off as if I were holding it at a hyzer when I'm holding slight anhyzer for a turnover, and have not at all cam to understand the concept of the "snap". My aces came on 210 ft and 125 ft holes, one with a Wahoo (noob disc!) and one with a Roc.
Thanks Danny for the supportive response.
O.K. Now I am seeing more of the truth. It really isn't hurt feelings from Disc Bullies (so to speak). You said that you live in rural Iowa, you said that your baskets are vandalized to shit etc. O.K. This is something tangable to work on.
I play at Debary, Florida. It is located in between Daytona Beach, and Orlando Florida. Both places have outstanding Disc Golf Courses. Debary is my home course. It is only a nine basket course. There has been problems with trash, vandalizism, and etc. I am starting out small. I bought medium sized planters, filled them half way with dirt and placed them at each tee pad, and called them "Butt Cans". Also when I play, I police the area, putting trash in trash cans, picking up cigarette butts etc.
Start small, and work your way up. Get a group of people in your area to start caring about your courses and do something about it. If need be, contact your Parks and Rec Department and have them help out. Worse comes to worse, contact the police to help stop the littering and vandalizism. Also, I am sure that every state has a PDGA point of contact that could assist you in your endevours.
And as for your cursing and slamming the people who slam you..... It doesn't sound like you have tough skin. If people are gonna be azzholes, so be it. Be better than them. Do not stupe to their level. Be more Professional than they are. In the end, you'll be a better role model to others, and you'll be a better player for the sport of Disc Golf.
Yeah, you have a good point there. I have anger issues when it comes to things I am passionate about, I apologize for the language. The thing about my hometown course is that 2 of the 9 baskets are hanging around the bottom of the pole from people sitting on them, the other course has no tee pads and gets no maintenance even in summer. I've spoken to the hardcore disc golfers and they will actually bring machetes in in case their disc doesn't land on the 18 inch wide dirt trail that acts as a fairway on some holes. Our town has 35,000 people, our parks department is a punchline, and last summer we poured over $350,000 of city budget into 5 ft tall limestone statues to go on the intersections of the shopping district.... We could have paid a welder like $300 to come fix all our baskets, but we needed universally panned limestone statues lol.
I admit my approach to this problem was wrong, but can we get a consensus that their is a good portion of the online disc golf community that is too elitist for the sports own good? Some of the things they say can be discouraging even if you mostly dismiss it as internet machismo.
No Problem.
Oh , as far as releasing the disc , put your arm out straight and try to keep your wrist level with your shoulder. This should help in releasing the disc level. You may have to try different releases and possibly different angles of release. I hope this makes some sense. It takes some Practice but I'm sure you will get it soon.
Try not to roll your wrist unless your going for a specific type of shot , like Anhyzer or Hyzer. ( Anhyzer will turn in towards your body as Hyzer will turn away from your body ). I learned this the hard way. Always Practice and Experiment with different Angles of release and before you know it , you will be proficient at this Crazy Sport.
It takes Time. You can't learn every type of shot overnight.
SideArm , BackHand , Roller , Upshots , Tomahawks , Twofinger , Scoobie , etc.. probably more I'm missing here.
The more you learn , the better off you are getting out of jams , like behind trees , bushes and other obstacles.
Always be ready to learn as much as you can. Don't limit your self to just a few types of shots !
Oh...............also try to always have a Positive Attitude. Don't let a bad shot or a bad round get to you !!!! It gets better ! I will tell players sometimes , don't beat yourself up if something doesn't always go your way. Relax and let it go !
Its all about the VIDEO....Its all there, everything you need to know. Even better, so much better, go watch the pros play at a big event. The coolest thing about Pro discgolf is all the different style, but when you watch the footage, look for the simularities. You will see these similarities at the moment of impact, or the hit, the footing, the positioning of all the body parts. They are all doing the same things. Just like in any sport, there are fundamental mechanics that we all should be trying to figure out. Discgolf is all about change and improvement, copeteition and making friends. I am a visual learner, hope this works for you. 5 weeks in, keep hucking. you will start to see what I am talkin about Josh.
5 weeks, you have probably gotten all the tips the internet has to offer anyway..:)

|Jay Peak Has the Most Snow in the East
Jay Peak photo credit: Brian Keet photo of skier Mike Britt, taken Jan 2, 2008.
Today I received a snow report email from Jay Peak with the photo above and very little text. The photo nearly says it all so there's little need for much text.
Without a doubt, Jay is the King Kong of snowfall in the eastern United States. So far this ski season, they have had 200 inches of snow. It looks like this year will exceed their annual average of 350 inches of snow.
Several characteristics contribute to this. Jay is located in far northern Vermont , just a few miles from the Canadian border. It is at the far northern reach of the Green Mountain range which creates a "snow belt" that catches moisture soaked clouds. These clouds pick up their moisture from nearby Lake Champlain or the Great Lakes farther to the west. When they hit the upper elevations, they release the moisture in greater quantity than lower elevations.
See Jay Peak current conditions here.

Custom Shape Text Fill
** This tutorial brought to you by Piggy Scraps Designs **
This tutorial is useful for either journaling or creating some of those cool WordArts many people use in the background, or even as the background, of a Layout.
Im going to assume you know about PS custom shapes for the purpose of this tutorial. Please select a custom shape and play along with me.
Ive chosen to use the rounded rectangle (radius at 100px) because I have an ulterior motive. However, any custom shape will do. Stars, hearts, clouds. Just remember, the trickier the shape the more playing around with text size & shape you will need to do later . dont worry, this will make sense soon.
Theres a couple ways to do this, however, were going with this way. Once you have your Custom Shape, use your magic wand tool to select the shape. Right click and choose Make Work Path. A new box will pop up setting your default tolerance at 2.0. Go ahead & click ok.
Now select your Text Tool, click inside the Custom Shape and start typing. Your text will automatically stay inside the custom shape following the rules you set for character and paragraph. Try typing some, then stopping and playing with both character and paragraph settings.
This is what my Layout looks like now. Ive included an insert of my Character layer palette to show what settings wound up working for me. I also have my Paragraph set to justify.
To finish the Layout with your Text Filled Custom Shape, simply turn off the custom shape layer. I added a border to my text, hereby explaining my ulterior motive in choosing a rounded rectangle Custom Shape. And, voila, finished product:

Captain John's Crab House on Cobb Island has been a longtime meeting place for seafood enthusiasts from all over. This year, the restaurant celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Situated shortly before the bridge that connects Cobb Island proper to the mainland, Captain John's is a white and brown building with a pier that one can tell is dazzling to sit on when the sun is setting in the summer months. The restaurant has made its business serving a plethora of different homemade items to groups both large and small, and comes from humble roots, much like the family that runs it.
"When it first opened, it was very heavy into wholesale seafood, too," owner Skip Yates said. "We still get our rockfish and as much as we can like that local, but I guess we moved away from that sometime in the 1980s."
Jack Yates, Skip's father as well as the son-in-law of original owner and restaurant namesake John Shymansky, said the restaurant began with a small menu that has expanded over time. Originally, Skip Yates said, the restaurant was a small room with a smaller kitchen. The second kitchen was added in 1968, the carryout store in the early 1970s and the second floor in the 1990s.
Despite its place in the community and its longevity, Skip Yates said the biggest challenge is keeping fresh seafood stocked.
"It's also about quality help and keeping up with rising prices," Skip Yates said. On a busy day, Skip Yates said, it's possible to use more than 90 bushels of crabs.
The family agreed that the restaurant's biggest challenge came when Hurricane Isabel blew through the area in 2003.
"There was water up to here," Jack Yates said, motioning to a point on the wall where the wood paneling ends and the painted portion begins.
"We were closed completely for a week," Skip Yates said. "We closed it off and cleaned up enough to open small portions of the restaurant. You'd be eating and hear people up banging on the roof at the same time. We always get nervous when high tides and hurricanes come through here."
The hurricane, however, was the restaurant's push to remodel.
"It was a long process, but it wasn't too big of a dealbreaker," Skip Yates said.
"We've been real close before. The water has been to the edge of the floor, but that was the worst," Jack Yates said.
Through the years, Skip Yates said, business has remained pretty consistent, save for a small dip when the recession hit. The restaurant always has been family owned and operated, which has set it apart, as has its location.
"This one's right on the water, and it's really pretty when it's a nice day out," said Brianna Smith, Skip Yates' granddaughter. "When the sun is setting, you can see everything, and on weekends, there's usually fireworks."
"I think consistently, we strive for good product and good service all the time, so when people come back, they get the same service that they got the time before and the same good food; it's not a crapshoot," Skip Yates said.
When asked what stories stood out through the restaurant's history, Paula Smith, Skip's daughter, said she remembered the restaurant seeing its first proposal on the dock.
"Customers always email us and tell us they had their first date here, and they always come back for their anniversary," Skip Yates said. "That happens all the time. I still see customers come in here that I remember from when I was a teenager."
The family's emotions ran high when the conversation veered toward football season at the restaurant. Paula Smith said she remembered her grandmother Christine Yates, who passed away in 2009, behind the bar cheering on the Washington Redskins.
"A lot of my memories are of her shouting for touchdowns and stuff, and all the customers joining in and having a good old time," Paula Smith said.
"She was a pretty solid person around here," Skip Yates said. "She loved talking to all the customers. Paula's picking up on that now."
"Customers have referred to me as a miniature her. She always loved just to laugh and talk about anything with anyone," Paula Smith said.
"The life of the place," Jack Yates added. "She was always here when you needed her here. People really liked her."
Recently, Skip Yates said, the restaurant hosted a customer who sailed here from the West Coast.
"He said he came down from California through the Panama Canal. ... He was headed to [Washington, D.C.] to get his daughter and said he plans to come back through," Skip Yates said. "During Isabel, we had a catamaran out here from Alaska. And I've got a guy in Germany who always contacts me asking for one of our calendars."
The family agreed that the restaurant is a hallmark of Charles County culture.
"We've been around so long, I think so," Jack Yates said.
"Not that many businesses stay open that long, much less with the same family continuously," Skip Yates added.
Moving forward, Skip Yates said he is unsure how the restaurant will be affected by the insurance requirements for small businesses mandated as part of the Affordable Care Act, set to take effect Jan. 1. That, he said, likely will be the biggest challenge.
"We just pay close attention to the seafood and the service, and that's kept us here," Skip Yates said.
Another local restaurateur and president of the Business Alliance of Charles County, Ken Gould, said that Captain John's is an exemplary model for the service industry.
"The fact that they've made it to 50 years is incredible," Gould said. "This business is tough, and it's incredible they've stayed vibrant. With family business, there's both ends of the spectrum ... and clearly they've been able to pass it along, and that creates a passion within the family. If the ownership is passionate, then the workers will be, too, and that leads to success. They're always very friendly, and you always run into someone you know there. It's a great example for Charles County business."
Edith "Sissy" Swann, a 37-year employee of the restaurant, said she loves how close-knit it is.
"Not a day goes by where I don't miss having Christine there," Swann said. "We're all like family down there. Paula is like my granddaughter. We're far down, but people travel quite a ways to come there, and they enjoy it because they know it's good."

Handgun Ammunition and Its History
The handgun performance most American civilian shooters can expect today is light-years ahead of where most pistol ammo was even two decades ago. With more sophisticated projectiles, today's leading ammunition manufacturers have developed bullets capable of neutralizing larger threats with less recoil from smaller pistols. It all adds up to a better self-defense tool in a smaller package that's easier to carry with less recoil that can make you a more accurate shooter. But that wasn't always the case.
The Chinese invented the world's first handguns along with the early development of gunpowder in the country. These firearms were literally hand cannons, often fired at the end of a long handle with ball ammunition.
From there, technology improved the hand cannon design into a more compact version that still closely resembled those early hand cannons, which most historians date in the 15th century. In the 18th and 19th century, a more modern looking pistols evolved, as did the revolver.
Today's shooters tend to favor 9mm rounds, based on domestic ammo sales data in the United States. 380 ACP ammo, .40 S&W and 45 ACP are all very popular rounds as well, as many shooters and law enforcement officers rely on these rounds to defend their families and communities.
You'll see a full line-up of in-stock handgun ammo for sale in the various calibers listed above. We work to keep a steady stream of pistol ammo available for plinking as well as hollow point rounds that are designed to be relied upon in an emergency.

HardWired56 said: "Every order I place gets here in 3 days-the shipping is fast and cheap and the online availability of inventory is the best. I have bought the Lake City reman .45acp and .380-super happy with both rounds. Ok, then I buy several different types of .223/5.56 just to see how they shoot-all were as expected and good stuff. Finally I had to buy more .22longs. Got Federal, Federal Champions and Winchester. I bought 3 bricks of ammo for what I would pay for 2 around here (not counting wasted gas and time). I will order again - Great work folks!"
Masharpe1 said: "What a great experience! Everything you could possibly want at great prices! I did a lot of looking around and this is by far the most user friendly website out there for your ammo needs. Inventory is "real time" so there's no guesswork as to when it will ship. Shipping is fast and the more you buy, the better the overall value! It's a better deal than those "box stores" like Academy, Wal-Mart or Bass Pro AND they have it in stock! I am very happy to have found Lucky Gunner and will continue to tell everyone about it. These guys obviously take pride in what they do and THIS is what customer service should be like. Others could learn something from their model. Thanks again."

Very happy with my purchase and look forward to buying from this company again. I also like their straightforward inventory system. If it's not on their website, they don't have it! They also list how many of a particular item is left."
