The legendary 270 Winchester celebrates its 100th birthday this year in 2025. So, in honor of that impressive milestone, I conduct a deep dive comparing the venerable 270 Winchester to a much newer round with a more modern design that, as you'll learn here shortly, has shockingly similar performance: the 6.5 PRC.

Both projectiles are absolutely outstanding on all manner of game at ranges inside 300 yards. You can purchase both bullets directly from the North Fork web site, from MidwayUSA, or from our network of other distributors all over the world. In this episode of The Big Game Hunting Podcast, host John McAdams discusses the 6.5 PRC vs 270 Winchester. John conducts a deep dive on both cartridges, shows how modern bullets have dramatically improved the performance of the 270 Winchester at extended range, and compares how both rounds perform in several ballistic gel tests. John's takeaway? Both cartridges are capable of almost shockingly similar performance, but the 270 Winchester and 6.5 PRC are each ideally suited for specific niches and interests.

In considering God's gift of marriage, it's helpful to start at the beginning. Moses records God's institution of marriage in Genesis 2. Because it was not good for the man to be alone, God created the woman to be the helper he needed. Adam's joy at the gift of Eve is the same joy God gives to husbands and wives today as they take delight in each other, help each other, and receive the gift of children through their union. God's institution of marriage shows this holy estate to be anything but a burden— it is a precious gift. Rev. Nate Hill, pastor at St. Michael's Lutheran Church in Winchester, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Genesis 2:18-25. To learn more about St. Michael's Lutheran, visit stmichaelswinchester.org. “God's Gift of Marriage” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies the Song of Solomon and other key texts from the Bible concerning marriage. Although the world is terribly confused concerning what marriage is, God's Word reveals how good a gift marriage truly is and points us to the relationship between Christ, the Bridegroom, and His Church, the Bride. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

On a crisp September morning, the Northern Shenandoah Valley came alive with the spirit of service. Nearly a thousand volunteers donned bright orange t-shirts and fanned out across five counties and the city of Winchester for United Way Northern Shenandoah Valley's annual Day of Caring—a day dedicated to giving back, building connections, and strengthening the fabric of the community. Janet Michael, host of “The Valley Today” and board chair for United Way of Northern Shenandoah Valley, served as both guide and storyteller for this special episode, recorded live as she visited project sites bustling with activity. “It is a day when the entire community comes together to serve local nonprofits and residents,” Janet explained, her pride evident as she described the scale of the effort. Painting Hope at Edgehill Recovery Center At the Edgehill Recovery Center, the air was thick with the scent of fresh paint and the hum of teamwork. Janet spoke with Elizabeth, an equity production supervisor at Navy Federal Credit Union, who was rolling paint alongside her team. “It's very competitive to get into,” Elizabeth laughed, describing how quickly volunteer slots filled up. For her, the Day of Caring was not just about giving back, but also about building camaraderie within her team. “It's awesome to be able to build our community while helping our community,” she said. Transforming Evans Home for Children The next stop was Evans Home for Children, where Executive Director Amy Rice marveled at the sea of volunteers tackling landscaping and maintenance projects. “As much as we are a little nonprofit, we have five acres in the middle of Winchester—that can be a lot to maintain and manage,” Amy shared. The Day of Caring, she explained, accomplishes in a single day what would otherwise take her small staff a year or more. “It's a safety and security issue to make sure that we are good with our licensing, that we are safe for the children to be here. The families feel safe placing their children with us. That's really, really important to us.” Amy was quick to credit her program director, LaMishia Allen, for orchestrating the day's logistics and ensuring everything ran smoothly. She also encouraged listeners to reach out year-round, noting that the need for volunteers and donations never ends. A Legacy of Service at Fremont Street Nursery At Fremont Street Nursery, the city's oldest licensed childcare center, Executive Director Freda Roberson beamed as she described the impact of the Day of Caring. “To see the amazing hardworking volunteers come out—it not only helps Fremont, but it also betters our community,” she said. Volunteers from Navy Federal painted playhouses, washed windows, while Tolley Dental facilitated dental exams for 60 children. “Out of the 60 children, only two had a cavity,” Freda reported, highlighting the tangible benefits of the day's work. Revitalizing Old Town Winchester The Day of Caring wasn't limited to traditional nonprofits. In Old Town Winchester, volunteers from Valley Health and the Friends of Old Town took a “tourist perspective” to identify ways to improve the downtown experience. “We got to hear some of the ideas that were on the table and give feedback from our perspective, which I think was a great project,” said Jason Craig, Director of Community Health for Valley Health. The group discussed everything from murals and pedestrian safety to access to fresh food and physical activity, underscoring the broad reach of community health. Personal Connections and Lasting Impact Throughout the day, Janet met volunteers like John and Billy from Warfel Construction, who helped residents at Winchester House with cleaning tasks. “It was great to catch up with them and learn their story too,” John reflected, noting the personal connections forged through service. At the Our Health campus, a team from Edward Jones wrote thank-you notes and made calls for the Alzheimer's Association, brightening the days of volunteers and participants. “We're actually hearing stories of families that have been impacted by Alzheimer's,” said Shalini Mickos, emphasizing the emotional resonance of their work. Jodi Young, Executive Director of Healthy Families Northern Shenandoah Valley, showed off baskets filled with diapers and baby supplies—assembled in just two hours by a small team of volunteers. “If it was just us collecting, we'd be taking time away from the families,” she explained, grateful for the extra hands. A Call to Action As the episode drew to a close, Janet reminded listeners that the Day of Caring is not just a one-day event, but a call to ongoing engagement. “We all have something to give. For some it's money. For others, it's time and skills, and for all of us, it's being willing to listen to the struggles that someone is having, be a little more understanding, and be a little more open-minded,” she said. The Day of Caring stands as a testament to what can be achieved when a community unites in service. Whether painting walls, planting flowers, or simply offering a kind word, every act of caring helps build a stronger, safer, and more compassionate place to call home. For more information on how to get involved, visit United Way NSV's website or reach out to local nonprofits—because, as Janet put it, “United is the way to spark change.”

In this week's Sermon Spotlight, we explore what it really means to follow Jesus as we unpack the sermon, "The Cost of Discipleship" from Mark 8:34-38. We take a closer look at Jesus' call to costly discipleship and what it means to live as both recipients of grace and active followers of Christ. From denying ourselves to taking up our cross, we examine the three imperatives Jesus gives—and the four powerful reasons why the cost is always worth it.Listen to the sermon we're talking about: fbcva.org/current-sermon-series or fbcva.org/podcastsBe a part of the conversation by submitting your thoughts and questions: fbcva.org/sermon-spotlight-podcastWatch this episode and subscribe on YouTube: @fellowshipbiblechurchvaFind out more about Fellowship Bible Church: fbcva.orgSubscribe to emails from Fellowship: fbcva.org/subscribeEngage with us:Facebook: facebook.com/groups/fellowshipfamInstagram: instagram.com/fellowshipbiblechurch/ More Channels from Fellowship:Weekend Sermons: fbcva.org/podcastThe Global Church Podcast: fbcva.org/the-global-church-podcastThe Fellowship Family Podcast: fbcva.org/fellowshipfamilypodcast#SermonSpotlight #FellowshipBibleChurch #Discipleship #Mark8 #TakeUpYourCross #ChristianPodcast #CostOfDiscipleship

In this episode of “The Valley Today,” host Janet Michael welcomed Jordan Herring, the city of Winchester's Arborist and Grounds Maintenance Manager, for an in-depth conversation about the upcoming Native Plant Festival and the broader mission of cultivating a greener, more sustainable city. As the driving force behind the city's lush parks, vibrant medians, and tree-lined streets, Herring offered listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges and rewards of urban forestry. The discussion began with a nod to the often-overlooked labor that keeps Winchester's public spaces beautiful. Herring, who manages a team of 25 to 30 employees and coordinates with contractors, described the year-round hustle of maintaining 16 parks and thousands of street trees. His dual role as arborist and grounds manager means he's responsible not only for the health of Winchester's urban canopy but also for the careful selection of tree species—ensuring the “right tree right place” to avoid future issues with power lines, soil compaction, and invasive species. A significant portion of the conversation focused on the importance of native plants. Herring explained how native species support local pollinators like bees and butterflies, maintain biodiversity, and require less maintenance than non-native or invasive alternatives. The festival, set for October 4th at Jim Barnett Park, aims to educate the public on these benefits. Attendees can expect to find native plant nurseries, environmental nonprofits, and government agencies offering resources, free tree saplings, and expert advice. The event is designed to be family-friendly, with activities for children and opportunities to explore the park's new wildflower meadow—a project spearheaded by the late sustainability advocate Sari Carp. Janet and Jordan also addressed the pitfalls of popular but problematic trees like the Bradford Pear, which, despite their initial beauty, pose risks due to weak branching and invasive tendencies. Herring emphasized the city's commitment to replacing such species with more suitable, native alternatives and highlighted Winchester's designations as both a Tree City USA and a Bee City USA—testaments to its ongoing investment in urban ecology. The conversation wrapped up with practical advice for homeowners: do a little research before planting, consider the needs of pollinators, and take advantage of the wealth of local resources, from the Virginia Department of Forestry to the city's own Parks and Recreation Department. The Native Plant Festival, with its free admission and welcoming atmosphere, stands as a celebration of community, education, and the shared responsibility of nurturing the natural world right in our own backyards.

“The Cost of Discipleship”Mark 8:34-38Having recently completed our series “None Like Jesus” let's continue to “Behold Him” by embarking on a new study through the Gospel of Mark. Mark's Gospel is the shortest of the four Gospels and it is action-packed from start to finish – as evidenced by the word “immediately” used over 40 times. Mark wrote to believers, probably Roman believers, who were no strangers to persecution. And he wanted to disciple his readers to be strong in their faith by encouraging them to look to their Mighty Messiah, the Son of God, who remained steadfastly faithful even while becoming their Suffering Servant who died for them. Mark's Gospel is a call to all believers to fearlessly “Follow Jesus” because they can trust Him completely.
This week, from horse to firearm auctions, we navigate keeping the peace with our spouses afterwards. Plus share updates on hunting mishaps, how Anti-Hunters has wildlife conservation still winning, and record-breaking catches with unexpected outcomes. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! From Firearms to Horse Sales: Navigating Auctions (and Marriage) with Strategy When Auctions Are a Way of Life — and Marriage Is a Partnership Recently, while driving to a horse sale that we were working at, my husband Tigger turned and asked me, “So... are you getting a bidder number today?” I smiled and responded with a firm, “Yes, and glad we've now had that discussion.” Translation? I'm buying something, and we're not arguing about it. Truth is, when you've been around livestock, auctions, and rural life as long as we have, these conversations become part of your auction day ritual. What Tigger also knows is that I don't buy just to buy. I invest — whether it's a colt, a saddle, or yes, even a rifle. If something is going to eat feed, take up stall space, or use up a gun safe room, it better bring value, joy, or a decent return one day. And let me tell you, this particular sale day delivered a little more excitement than expected... The Time I Bid Against My Husband Without Him Knowing So, there we were at the horse sale. Tigger was busy representing another ranch, completely unaware that his lovely wife(BEC) was quietly (but confidently) bidding against him from the other side of the ring. The auctioneer knew. The ringmen knew. Heck, the crowd knew — and they were loving it. Then came the big moment: Auctioneer: “SOLD!” Me, grinning: “I love you, Tigger!” That's when the place erupted in laughter. And to his credit, Tigger took it like a champ. Was he thrilled I'd just dropped cash on a horse we hadn't even discussed? Maybe not. But did he respect my judgment? Absolutely. And that's what makes our auction adventures work: mutual respect, financial boundaries, and open communication. Meet our newest addition, a 2025 AQHA registered Bay Roan filly purchased from the Froelich Legacy Quarter Horse Sale that we know call "Denali". Her name comes from not just her pedigree but also as this was the year I visited Denali National Park in Alaska! Planning for Firearm Auctions — and Keeping the Spouse Happy While livestock sales are a regular part of our lives, firearm auctions are another exciting (and tempting) avenue we both enjoy. But before we register, load up the trailer, or open the gun safe, we always have a talk: What do our finances look like right now? Do we have room in the safe (or barn / pasture)? Is this an impulse buy or an investment piece? What are the long-term costs — time, maintenance, upkeep? Could this have resale value or serve a future purpose? These conversations aren't about permission — they're about teamwork and transparency. When you're in a relationship where big purchases are common — whether horses, hay, or handguns — keeping the lines of communication open keeps the peace (and the budget balanced). Upcoming Firearm Auctions You Don't Want to Miss For all our fellow auction-goers, collectors, and Second Amendment supporters out there — mark your calendars! Wolff Auctioneers Firearm Auctions (with Live & Online Bidding): October 25, 2025 — Featuring 150+ rifles and pistols November 1, 2025 — Another 150+ rifle showcase Visit WolffAuctioneers.com for details, catalogs, and to register for online live bidding. Whether you're looking for collectible firearms, hunting gear, or just something to pass down to the grandkids - these auctions are the real deal. Final Thoughts: Respect, Strategy, and Shared Adventures Auction days are more than just sales — they're events. They're part of the lifestyle we love. But they can also become points of tension if you're not careful. If there's one thing I've learned, it's this: "Bidding is fun. Buying is thrilling. But mutual respect is what keeps the relationship strong." Whether I'm bidding on a gelding or Tigger's eyeing a vintage Winchester, we know what matters most: being a team, backing each other up, and being just a little competitive — even if I do yell “I love you” after I outbid him. Tragic Lightning Strike Kills Two Missing Elk Hunters in Colorado Wilderness Two young elk hunters who went missing during a trip in southern Colorado were tragically killed by a lightning strike, according to the county coroner. Andrew Porter and Ian Stasko, both 25, were found dead after a six-day search near the Rio de Los Pinos Trailhead in the Rio Grande National Forest. Porter's fiancé, Bridget Murphy, confirmed on Facebook that the men were hit indirectly—likely by a ground strike nearby—and died instantly. No burn marks were found on their bodies, but the lightning's massive voltage was enough to be fatal from a short distance. The two hunters had returned to the area for a quick evening hunt before storms moved in, leaving their gear locked in the car. Their last known location pinged on Sept. 11, and they were officially reported missing the next day. The search involved hundreds of volunteers and multiple agencies and came to a heartbreaking end on Thursday when their bodies were located about two miles from the trailhead. Murphy honored Porter as an experienced outdoorsman who simply "was in the wrong spot at the wrong time." Autopsies are pending, but officials confirm nature's raw power played a devastating role in this tragedy. Lightning strikes to humans are rare, but powerful. A typical lightning flash is about 300 million volts, according to the National Weather Service; in comparison, most household currents are 120 volts. Reference: https://www.outdoorlife.com/survival/lighting-strike-kills-elk-hunters-colorado/ Florida Bear Hunt Lottery Sees Massive Anti-Hunter Interference, But Conservation Still Wins According to Outdoor Life, a massive number of people — over 163,000 — applied for just 172 bear hunting tags in Florida's upcoming black bear hunt, but not all applicants were hunters. A significant chunk of those applications came from anti-hunting activists trying to game the system and block lawful, conservation-based bear harvests. One bear advocate posted on Facebook Monday, September 22 that the activist group, Angels in Distress, had spent $185,000 on lottery entries — about 37,000 applications, nearly a quarter of the total — with no intention of using the tags. Their goal? Keep bear tags out of the hands of hunters. Also, earlier in September the Sierra Club Florida shared a tutorial video showing those against hunting bears how to purchase a hunting license online. This video specifically showed how to check a box to request a deferral from Florida's hunter education requirements. By using the deferral program, Florida's Fish & Wildlife Conservation allows applicants without hunter's education to hunt with someone who already has their hunter ed or is exempt from these requirements. Despite this coordinated campaign, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) says these efforts haven't affected past hunts and likely won't derail this one either. If anti-hunters do manage to draw tags but don't use them, FWC will track unused permits and adjust future quotas to ensure bears are properly managed. Hunters can also take some pride in knowing that all this money — over $817,000 so far from $5 lottery entries, plus future tag fees — goes directly to wildlife conservation efforts in the state. So even sabotaged entries are indirectly helping fund habitat and wildlife management. Winners will be notified soon and have until October 6 to claim their tags. If they don't, those tags roll down to the next eligible applicant — likely a legitimate hunter. FWC originally planned to issue 187 tags, but trimmed that number slightly due to other bear mortality factors in the north. The hunt runs December 6 to 28 and is Florida's first bear hunt in a decade. After the bear hunting season closes, the officials will evaluate the hunter's success to the number of unused permits to adjust future bear hunting seasons.

Cliff Chamberlan, who's been fishing the Great Lakes since the '70s, was fly fishing and drifting a plastic bead on August 31, 2025 when he caught a 6-pound, 1-ounce pink salmon on the Salmon River — well above the long-standing state record of 4 pounds, 15 ounces set in 1985. Chamberlan followed all the rules: on September 4th it was determined by officials he caught the fish legally, had it confirmed by a fisheries biologist, and was even told congratulations — the record was his. Then, hours later, the state called him back with crushing news: New York had quietly retired pink salmon from its record books in 2024, just months earlier. The reason? Not enough recent entries — even though that had nothing to do with Chamberlan's impressive catch. Chamberlain was quoted in the New York Update, “I went from the highest high to the lowest low in about five hours.” And who could blame him? He caught a rare fish, heavier than any recorded in New York history, and still walked away empty-handed — all because the species was removed from the eligible list after decades of inaction by the state. The pink salmon, also called a “humpy,” is not stocked by New York, making catches like this incredibly rare. The species originally entered the region through Canada back in the 1950s and slowly spread to Lake Ontario. Even today, they show up occasionally — and when they do, they often go unnoticed or misidentified. So while Cliff Chamberlan may not get his name etched into the official state record books, among fellow anglers, his catch stands as a true accomplishment — proof of skill, patience, and a bit of old-school luck.

Berly and LA dive into Supernatural's Season 8, Episode 14: "Trial and Error" - where the Winchester boys get fancy new digs while poor Kevin survives on nothing but hot dogs!The episode kicks off with the hosts confused about Kevin's location (still on that gross houseboat, not in the bunker as expected), where he's living his worst life eating plain wieners and having nosebleeds. Meanwhile, Sam and Dean are living their BEST lives in the Men of Letters bunker with Dean decorating his room like he's finally discovered HGTV. Memory foam mattress included - because apparently the Men of Letters were ahead of their time!Kevin calls with good news: he's figured out how to close the gates of hell! It just requires three trials, starting with killing a hellhound and bathing in its blood. Easy peasy, right? The brothers head to Idaho to stalk the Cassity family, who struck oil 10 years ago under geologically impossible circumstances - classic demon deal territory.The case gets complicated when they discover multiple family members made deals with Crowley during a charming family dinner 10 years prior. Carl the "trophy husband" traded his soul for Alice's love (consent be damned), while farm manager Ellie made her deal to save her mom from Parkinson's. The hosts initially loved Carl until they learned about his creepy motivations - then it was "fuck you, Carl."Things get steamy when Ellie shoots her shot with Dean in the most direct way possible, leading to the hosts' hilarious commentary about what they would do in her "last night on earth" situation. Dean turns her down for noble reasons, which probably saved everyone from trauma when his face starts going all hellhound-proximity crazy later.The hellhound special effects steal the show - the semi-invisible design with glowing red eyes and teeth had the hosts thoroughly impressed. Sam gets to be the hero, killing the beast and getting covered in an ungodly amount of black blood that had the hosts questioning what exactly hellhound blood contains.The episode ends with Sam completing the first trial (complete with mysterious light traveling up his "thick, hairy forearms" - the hosts are VERY aware of this season's increased scruff factor), setting up the ongoing arc. Dean's not happy about Sam taking on the trials, knowing how these things usually end for Winchesters.The hosts loved the hellhound effects, the beautiful farm location, and the continuing "daddification" of the Winchester brothers, while lamenting that most of the characters were pretty terrible people who probably deserved their fates."Between the claws, the teeth, and the invisibility, those bitches can be real... bitches."Sources:https://supernatural.fandom.com/wiki/Trial_and_Errorhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2076426/episodes/12977493Send us your review!Support the showTHANK YOU FOR LISTENING!Please rate and review Denim-Wrapped Nightmares wherever you get your podcasts!

On a lively day in Old Town Winchester, the air buzzes with the energy of local businesses and the hum of community life. Tucked into Old Town Walking Mall in downtown Winchester, Worlds Away Escape offers a unique kind of adventure—one that challenges the mind, fosters teamwork, and brings a sense of playful mystery to the heart of downtown. In a recent episode of "The Valley Today," host Janet Michael sat down with Worlds Away Escape owner Ariel Pugh, and Brady Cloven, executive director at Friends of Old Town, to explore the story behind this local gem and its impact on the community. A Passion for Puzzles Becomes a Business Ariel's journey to escape room ownership began with a childhood steeped in games and puzzles, thanks to her parents' love for both video and board games. “I grew up playing video games with my dad, sometimes board games but more video games with him, and always board games and maybe some video games with my mom,” Ariel recalls. Her passion for problem-solving led her to try every escape room she could find, eventually helping to test new rooms at the Winchester location. When the previous owners decided to sell, Ariel—on leave from her corporate job—took the leap, supported by her then-fiancé (now husband), and became the new owner. The Art and Science of Escape Rooms For the uninitiated, Ariel describes escape rooms as immersive experiences that require participants to “think differently, have some fun, and distract themselves from life and work.” Each room is themed, offering a variety of puzzles—riddles, observation challenges, decoding tasks—set within a compelling narrative. Worlds Away Escape boasts six different themed rooms, each designed to intrigue and challenge groups of friends, families, or coworkers. Team-building is a major draw, with companies frequently booking sessions to foster collaboration and communication. “It's a very interesting observational experience,” Ariel notes, describing how group dynamics play out in the rooms. Whether it's a family with established roles or coworkers discovering new sides of each other, the escape room becomes a microcosm of teamwork and leadership. Behind the Scenes: Creativity, Community, and Logistics Running an escape room is as much about creativity as it is about logistics. Ariel shares that she aims to change out one room per year, a process that involves not just designing new puzzles but also redecorating to create a fully immersive environment. The escape room community, she says, is highly collaborative, with owners sharing ideas and supporting each other through online forums and direct consultation. Reservations are essential—walk-ins are rare due to the need for staff preparation and room resets between groups. Pricing is tiered, with larger groups enjoying a lower per-person rate, making it accessible for everything from kids' birthday parties to corporate outings. After each session, staff meticulously reset the rooms to ensure every group gets a fresh experience. A Hub for Downtown Winchester Worlds Away Escape is more than just a business; it's a vibrant part of Old Town Winchester's evolving landscape. Brady highlights the importance of having interactive attractions downtown, especially during off-seasons or inclement weather. “It doesn't all have to just be pretty buildings or antique shops,” he says. “It's fun to have something very interactive on the mall.” The conversation also touches on the broader revitalization efforts in Old Town, from public art projects to seasonal festivals and community events. Worlds Away Escape fits seamlessly into this tapestry, offering both locals and visitors a reason to explore, connect, and return. Looking Ahead As the episode wraps up, Ariel and Brady share upcoming events and encourage listeners to stay engaged with downtown happenings. With a new room in the works and a calendar full of local festivities, Worlds Away Escape continues to unlock new adventures for Winchester's community. For those seeking a memorable experience—whether you're a puzzle enthusiast, a team leader, or just looking for something different—Worlds Away Escape is ready to challenge and delight. As Ariel puts it, it's a labor of love, and one that's helping to make Old Town Winchester a destination for discovery.

John McAdams shares insights on the 25 Creedmoor vs 6.5 Creedmoor informed by real world data on obtained at the range, afield, and in ballistic gel in this podcast episode. John discusses the design characteristics, performance specifications, and pros and cons of each cartridge. Plus, he also shares some details on how different 6.5 Creedmoor and 25 Creedmoor factory loads have performed on game afield. Sponsor: Go to BigGameHuntingPodcast.com/ebook and sign up for my free e-book on the best hunting calibers at to receive the entertaining and informative emails I send out about hunting, firearms, and ballistics every weekday. North Fork's 120gr and 140gr Semi-Spitzer bullets are outstanding choices for the 25 Creedmoor and 6.5 Creedmoor respectively that facilitate the best possible terminal performance for both cartridges. Both projectiles are absolutely outstanding on all manner of game at ranges inside 300 yards. You can purchase both bullets directly from the North Fork web site, from MidwayUSA, or from our network of other distributors all over the world. In this episode of The Big Game Hunting Podcast, host John McAdams discusses the 6.5 Creedmoor vs 25 Creedmoor. John conducts a deep dive on both cartridges, tackles complaints about poor terminal performance some have reported with the 6.5 Creedmoor on game, and compares how both rounds perform in several ballistic gel tests. John also shares a few hunting stories illustrating the terminal performance of various 25 Creedmoor and 6.5 Creedmoor factory loads. John's takeaway? The 25 Creedmoor offers some benefits over the 6..5 Creedmoor, but he's not sure if it is a big enough improvement to really make a difference in the long run.

On a sunny Thursday afternoon at the Espresso Bar in downtown Winchester, Valley Today host Janet Michael met with Patricia Brewer and Mandy Foxley, co-chairs of the Out of the Darkness Community Walk, for a heartfelt conversation about hope, healing, and the power of community. Their discussion delves into the details of the annual event, the personal stories that fuel their advocacy, and the broader mission to break the silence around mental health and suicide. The Out of the Darkness Community Walk, scheduled for October 11th at Sherando High School/Park, is more than just a fundraising event—it's a lifeline for many. As Patricia, and Mandy explain, the walk welcomes everyone, regardless of their ability to complete the route. “It's not a marathon,” Mandy emphasizes, “and you can participate at your own pace, or simply come to connect and find support.” The event features a vibrant array of activities, from a kids' zone and vendor booths to the poignant “glimmer station” and a sand ceremony honoring those affected by suicide. Central to the walk's impact is its inclusivity. The co-chairs share how the event brings together people of all ages and backgrounds—survivors, supporters, families, and friends—each with their own story. The colored beads worn by participants symbolize different types of loss and support, creating a visual tapestry of shared experience and solidarity. “Every face and name along the walk's path represents a story,” Patricia notes, “and seeing others with the same colored beads reminds you that you're not alone.” Personal stories take center stage in the conversation, with both Mandy and Patricia opening up about their own mental health journeys and the loved ones who inspired their involvement. Mandy speaks candidly about her struggles and the moment she realized she needed help, while Patricia recounts her family's experience and the importance of making resources accessible to others. Their vulnerability underscores the walk's mission: to foster open dialogue, reduce stigma, and offer hope. The conversation also highlights the practical aspects of getting involved. Registration is free, and participants are encouraged to form teams, fundraise, and spread awareness through social media. The funds raised support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's research, advocacy, and outreach efforts. “Even small donations add up,” Janet reminds listeners, “and every dollar helps bring resources and hope to those in need.” As the conversation draws to a close, the message was clear: the Out of the Darkness Community Walk is about more than a single day—it's about building a supportive network, sharing stories, and reminding everyone that help is available. Whether you walk, volunteer, or simply show up to listen, your presence matters. In coming together, the community takes meaningful steps out of the darkness and into the light of hope.

“Who Do You Say I Am? A Turning Point In Discipleship”Mark 8:22-33Having recently completed our series “None Like Jesus” let's continue to “Behold Him” by embarking on a new study through the Gospel of Mark. Mark's Gospel is the shortest of the four Gospels and it is action-packed from start to finish – as evidenced by the word “immediately” used over 40 times. Mark wrote to believers, probably Roman believers, who were no strangers to persecution. And he wanted to disciple his readers to be strong in their faith by encouraging them to look to their Mighty Messiah, the Son of God, who remained steadfastly faithful even while becoming their Suffering Servant who died for them. Mark's Gospel is a call to all believers to fearlessly “Follow Jesus” because they can trust Him completely.
One of the first recorded examples of a marriage ceremony is dated more than four thousand years ago in Mesopotamia. And it seems that through the ages, weddings have never lost their appeal. The global wedding industry is today worth billions of dollars, and it's one that keeps on growing.While aspects of weddings differ across many cultures, they celebrate the coming together of two people in a form of contract which establishes rights within the couple. Historically, marriages were often economic, legal and social tools; the love aspect that some marriage ceremonies came to represent was developed much later.Iszi Lawrence investigates how weddings have changed over time with a panel of expert guests, including Dr Vicki Howard, Visiting Fellow in the Department of History at the University of Essex (UK) and the author of Brides, Inc.: American Weddings and the Business of Tradition; wedding planner Marie Haverly, Deputy Head of the Business School and senior lecturer in event management at the University of Winchester in the UK; and wedding photographer Shanaya Arora, one half of Nitin Arora Photography which she founded with her husband. Shanaya is also the host of WED FM India, a podcast all about weddings.Produced by Fiona Clampin for BBC World Service.(Photo: Comet and Phakalane Mmisi, dance just after they were married, Johannesburg, South Africa, 11 July 2008.

In the heart of Middletown, Virginia, a beloved historic landmark is experiencing a renaissance. The Wayside Inn, a fixture of the Shenandoah Valley for over two centuries, is now home to Clem's Kitchen—a new restaurant venture by Bill and Amanda Whitson. In this episode of “The Valley Business Today,” host Janet Michael, joined by Carl Knoblock of the Small Business Administration, sat down with the Whitsons to discuss their journey, vision, and the challenges of breathing new life into a storied space. From Food Truck AND Brick-and-Mortar Many locals know Bill from Billy Sous food truck and Amanda from her work as a real estate agent. But together, they are embarking on a new chapter as restaurateurs. The idea to open Clem's Kitchen in the Wayside Inn was born from Amanda's deep personal connection to the building—she worked there as a teenager, her first office perched above the original well of Middletown. Bill, initially hesitant to return to restaurant life after the freedom of the food truck, was ultimately swayed by Amanda's passion and the unique magic of the space. The transition from food truck to restaurant is an unusual one, as Bill notes—most often, it's the other way around. Yet, the Whitsons see the move as an opportunity to create a community hub, offering a modern twist on Southern classics while maintaining the beloved food truck in the parking lot. Their vision is to foster a welcoming environment where locals can gather, celebrate, and enjoy good food. A Space for Community and Collaboration Clem's Kitchen is more than just a restaurant; it's a catalyst for community engagement. The Whitsons have already hosted events, including a Bridgerton-themed Sweet 16 and upcoming weddings, and they're eager to share their expansive kitchen with other food entrepreneurs. Recognizing the challenges faced by small food businesses—especially the need for commercial kitchen space—they hope to support local vendors, caterers, and food trucks, even considering the possibility of a nonprofit kitchen model in the future. The couple's commitment to giving back is evident in their launch of a community fridge, inspired by similar initiatives in nearby Winchester. By providing access to fresh, healthy food for those in need, they are addressing food insecurity and encouraging others to contribute. “Garbage cans aren't the place for food. Hungry people are the place for food,” Bill reflects, underscoring their philanthropic philosophy. Honoring History, Embracing Change The Wayside Inn's transformation is both respectful of its past and optimistic about its future. The Whitsons have painstakingly cleaned and renovated the space, preserving historic elements like the Tavern sign while introducing a brighter, more vibrant atmosphere. Amanda's stories of the building's previous owner, Leo Bernstein, and his contributions to the community—donating historic properties for a dollar, supporting the arts—highlight the legacy they hope to continue. Clem's Kitchen will initially serve breakfast Thursday through Sunday, with plans to expand as the community responds. The menu promises Southern staples with creative flair, family-friendly touches like a kids' corner and tableside chocolate milk service, and a flexible approach to dinner offerings, including pop-up events and evolving dishes based on customer feedback. Navigating Challenges and Looking Ahead Opening a restaurant in a historic building comes with its share of hurdles, from deep cleaning to navigating regulations. The Whitsons credit their supportive landlord and collaborative relationships with local agencies for easing the process. Still, they acknowledge the broader challenges faced by small businesses, particularly the burden of compliance with regulations designed for much larger companies. Carl encourages business owners to advocate for change by reaching out to elected officials, emphasizing the importance of community voices in shaping policy. As Clem's Kitchen prepares to open its doors, the Whitsons are optimistic about the future—not just for their business, but for Middletown as a whole. They envision the restaurant as a gathering place that honors the town's history, supports its residents, and inspires others to invest in the community. “This town deserves that,” Bill says. “You need to make good food. You need to give them a reason to come back.” With their passion, experience, and commitment to service, Bill and Amanda Whitson are poised to make Clem's Kitchen a cornerstone of Middletown's revitalization—one meal, one event, and one act of kindness at a time.
Community Connect & Serve takes place on Thursday, 9/25 from 3 to 7 p.m. at 399 Apple Pie Ridge Road in Winchester. This event helps nonprofits and faith-based groups to network and share, plus helps potential volunteers find the organization that meets their interest and heart. Barry's three guests are: Jennifer Volkmann (CCAP Volunteer Coordinator), Jennifer Ritenour (MSV Volunteer Coordinator) and Andrea Cosans (Executive Director, CCAP).

Tiffany Winchester (aka Tiff or Tiffo) was first on the podcast in June 2019.In that conversation, Tiff shared her background and her preparations for an iconic event called Paris-Brest-Paris (or PBP) - a 1,200km event held in France every 4 years considered to be the Olympics of the ultra-endurance cycling world.This time, Tiff returns to share how the event unfolded, the trauma it inflicted on her, the physical, mental and emotional toll it took on her and how she was able to recover from it.An iconic race - and a great storyteller - requires a long conversation. So I have divided this episode into two parts.In Part 1, Tiff shares the final stage of her preparation and how the race unfolded - including why she had to apply white wine vinegar to her “lady parts”.
Ultra-endurance cyclist Tiffany Winchester returns to Sparta Chicks Radio for the second part of our conversation about her race at the iconic 1,200km Paris-Brest-Paris (PBP) cycling race in 2019.This time, Tiff returns to share the aftermath of the race - the physical, mental and emotional trauma it inflicted on her, the depression that followed and how she was able to recover from it and get back on her bike.This is a very different conversation from part 1.It's a very raw and vulnerable conversation and I truly appreciate Tiff's honesty in sharing her struggles after PBP, the support she received and how she found her way through.
“An Encore Performance by Ignorant Disciples”Mark 8:11-21Having recently completed our series “None Like Jesus” let's continue to “Behold Him” by embarking on a new study through the Gospel of Mark. Mark's Gospel is the shortest of the four Gospels and it is action-packed from start to finish – as evidenced by the word “immediately” used over 40 times. Mark wrote to believers, probably Roman believers, who were no strangers to persecution. And he wanted to disciple his readers to be strong in their faith by encouraging them to look to their Mighty Messiah, the Son of God, who remained steadfastly faithful even while becoming their Suffering Servant who died for them. Mark's Gospel is a call to all believers to fearlessly “Follow Jesus” because they can trust Him completely.
Welcome back to another episode of Denim Wrapped Nightmares, where Berly and LA tackle Supernatural Season 8, Episode 12: "As Time Goes By" - and this one's a real family reunion!What Went Down:The episode kicks off in 1958 with a dapper gentleman in a trench coat saying goodbye to his sleeping son. This mystery man heads to what looks like a secret society meeting, only to find demon Abaddon (possessing the lovely Josie) murdering everyone in sight. Armed with a mysterious box and some blood magic, he creates a portal to escape... and crashes right through Sam and Dean's motel closet in 2013! Plot twist: it's Henry Winchester - John's dad and the boys' grandfather they never knew existed.The Big Reveals:Henry Winchester is alive! Well, he was. John's father didn't abandon his family - he time-traveled to protect a supernatural artifactMen of Letters exist! Think Hogwarts library meets Monster Hunters Anonymous - they're the brains to hunters' brawnAbaddon is terrifying - A Knight of Hell handpicked by Lucifer himself, and she's got style (love that devil-themed t-shirt theft)That box is important - Contains the key to every supernatural object, scroll, and spell ever collected. Talk about your ultimate supernatural storage unit!The Family Drama:Henry learns his "legacy" grandkids are just lowly hunters (the horror!), while Dean gets to process having yet another family member who prioritized "the greater good" over being there for their kid. The apple doesn't fall far from the Winchester tree of abandonment issues.The final showdown features Henry getting gutted (not in the fun way), but managing to trap Abaddon with a devil's trap carved into a bullet before Dean decapitates her. Henry dies, but not before telling the boys he's proud of the men John raised.Memorable Moments:Henry's Houdini handcuff trick that had everyone confusedThe "Mayans were wrong" joke about 2013Dean checking out the comic book store clerk (memorable enough that Abaddon noticed)Henry's magical sleeping powder that worked VERY well on the shop ownerThe coordinates to the "safest place on earth" - next stop on the Winchester world tour!Gore Counter:Relatively tame episode - some bleeding eyes, throat slitting, and Henry's stomach situation, but nothing too splooge-worthy for our hosts' official count.The Setup:The boys now have coordinates to a supernatural safe house that supposedly contains every magical artifact ever collected. Will this be their supernatural Costco? Can they finally help Kevin with those pesky demon tablets? And will they ever call Castiel for backup in these life-or-death situations?The hosts loved Henry's character, Abaddon's fabulous villainy, and the family legacy revelations. A solid episode that adds new layers to Winchester family history while setting up future adventures!"One of you must know John Winchester."

Settle in and buckle up; this is a fun, deep, long and laughter filled episode of Sparta Chicks Radio.Tiffany Winchester is an ultra-endurance cyclist, with a love of doughnuts, who is currently preparing to ride the Paris-Brest-Paris; an iconic 1,200km endurance cycling event in France later this year.Tiff finished her first bike race as a child and then took a “25 year rest week” from almost all forms of exercise.It wasn't until her 30s that she started walking and “procrasta-hiking” (as she calls it) as a way to clear her head and clarify her thoughts while working on her PhD.After a brief (yet deep) love affair with trail running, Tiff was introduced to the world of cycling 3 years ago - and hated it at first!Ultimately, she has since found her ‘happy place' in the incredibly gruelling world of ultra-endurance cycling.In this conversation, Tiff and I discuss:- why she had to stop racing for mental health reasons,- why she didn't consider herself a ‘cyclist' until after her first 1,200km ride, and- the impact social media had on her perception of herself as a cyclist and how it fed her sense of feeling like an Imposter.
In a world where community needs are ever-growing and resources often stretched thin, the annual Community Connect & Serve event in Winchester, Virginia, stands as a beacon of hope and collaboration. In this episode of “The Valley Today,” host Janet Michael gathered with a dynamic group of organizers and participants to pull back the curtain on this unique event, revealing how it's reshaping the way nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and everyday citizens come together to serve. The conversation, recorded in the midst of a committee meeting at Winchester's CCAP, was lively and candid. Janet was joined by Andrea Cosans and Lily Paccadolmis both from Winchester CCAP, Shannon Atkinson-Ganoe, Andy Gail from United Way NSV, Melinda Topham from JustServe.org, and Bishop BJ Custer from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - each representing a different facet of the community's volunteer ecosystem. The group traced the event's origins to a simple desire: to create a “one-stop shop” for volunteers and nonprofits to connect, collaborate, and address local needs more effectively. What began as a networking session has blossomed into a three-part gathering: a nonprofit collaboration forum, showcase of available resources for the faith-based community, and a public volunteer fair. Bishop Custer shared how the event opened his eyes to the wealth of organizations ready to help, and how it inspired his congregation's youth to get involved in everything from stocking shelves to making teddy bears for local charities. The panel emphasized that the event is open to all—parents, students, retirees, and anyone looking to give back. Whether you're a “one-and-done” volunteer or someone seeking a long-term commitment, there's a place for you. The discussion also delved into the practical impact of volunteering. Lily, CCAP's operations manager, highlighted how volunteers are the backbone of their organization, contributing hours equivalent to 10 or 11 full-time staff. The dollar value of these hours is staggering, but the real value lies in the relationships built and the sense of purpose volunteers gain. Melinda and Andrea reflected on how the event has sparked new collaborations, support groups, and even “group therapy” sessions for nonprofit leaders facing similar challenges. Perhaps most inspiring were the personal stories: youth discovering the joy of service, community service workers returning as core volunteers, and families finding new ways to bond while helping others. The event's ripple effect is evident in the formation of new leadership groups and the strengthening of ties between organizations that might otherwise operate in silos. As the episode wrapped up, the group encouraged listeners to attend the upcoming event, emphasizing its open-door policy and the wealth of opportunities available. For those unable to attend, platforms like JustServe.org offer ongoing ways to get involved. The message was clear: in Winchester, service isn't just an obligation—it's a source of pride, connection, and lasting change. Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or just curious about giving back, Community Connect & Serve offers a powerful reminder that when a community comes together, everyone benefits.
