After Jack kicks off in the cold open, everyone who knew anything about the circumstances surrounding his death braces for possible consequences. Michael thinks he can delay the autopsy results from getting to Nick, Jack's lawyer. Peter ignores whatever Kimberly's up to so that he can support Amanda. But she's mostly just happy the only person she ever feared has died...until Sydney gathers both her bosses and Amanda for a sushi dinner, to tell them she has an incriminating tape of Amanda and Peter that she'll pass on to the authorities if Amanda doesn't give her half her share of Jack's estate. Brooke is too sick to accompany Billy on a business trip to Santa Barbara, so Alison arranges to take her place so that she can get some face time with Billy and decide whether she really does still love him, or if she's ready to move on and accept Hayley's weird afterthought of a wedding proposal. And due to a hiccup with their travel plans, they end up getting more time together than she'd hoped! Having broken up with Jake for good, Jo decides there's no reason not to join Richard on his "business" trip. And Michael puts a damper on Matt's med school acceptance celebration by revealing how it happened.

Jack welcomes back Joey Ricotta, host of the podcast Stuffing the Stat Sheet and blogger at On Tap Sports Net and Prime Time Sports Talk, back to the show. After Jack attended the Bears' first preseason game on Saturday, he and Joey share their takeaways from the Dolphins-Bears game, mostly concentrated on the play of young quarterbacks Tua Taglovailoa and Justin Fields.   Joey argues that Fields should be the Bears' week 1 starter; Jack disagrees (0:00 - 38:50). Later, they return to baseball talk, recapping the latest news and stories from the past week from around the league. The Field of Dreams game was a huge success; it was baseball's highest-rated regular season game in 16 years. Jack and Joey discuss the game itself, the appeal of it, and share ideas for future MLB showcase games that could reach out to more fans in the future. They also talk Tyler Gilbert's rookie debut no-hitter, the Braves' hot stretch that has them in first place, the Padres' recent struggles (and the return of Fernando Tatis Jr., now playing center field), as well as the American League and National League playoff landscapes. All this, and plenty more from the wide world of baseball!

Ada Blackjack was an Inupiat born woman, originally named Ada Delutuk, but was actually raised by Methodist missionaries in Nome, Alaska. At 16, she married an abusive man named Jack Blackjack and had three children with him. Only one of those children survived past infancy. Her son Bennet, who had tuberculosis. After Jack left Ada and her son destitute, she had to find a way to care for their son, alone. An opportunity arose for a Native seamstress that spoke English. It paid well and would cover the medical costs she needed to have Bennet treated. It would require her absence for 1-2 years. Leaving Bennet in an orphanage temporarily she joined the voyage. Ada at 23 was the only woman in a team of 4 male explorers. She was hired to cook, clean and sew for them. The mission was to claim Wrangel Island. Only, when they got there, things didn't go to plan and Ada started a 2 year fight for her survival. She, in fact, became the only survivor.Listen to this weeks episode, to hear about the incredible journey and life of Ada Blackjack.Don't forget to leave us a review!You can also visit our website at www.notmenottodaypodcast.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/notmenottodaypodcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notmenottodaypodcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/NotMeNotTodayPC

Tamara K. Anderson interviews Jason Hagues on the Stories of Hope in Hard Times podcast. Jason shares his journey from feeling numb to aching joy with his son Jack, who has autism. There are seasons of both sorrow and joy.Jason Hague: Feeling Both Joy and Sorrow with AutismJason Hague BioJason grew up in the piney woods of East Texas. He is the associate pastor of Christ’s Center Church in Junction City Oregon (near Eugene.) He has served on staff for Youth With A Mission for many years. Jason and his wife have been married for nearly twenty years, and they have five amazing kids. He has a passion for writing, and enjoys creative, visual storytelling. Jason often speaks often about the intersection of faith and special needs, due to the fact that he has a son, Jack, who is on the autism spectrum. He is the author of Aching Joy, which I highly recommend.Jack’s DiagnosisJack was a lively and interactive child, but at age one and a half to age two he started to drift. Jason says he didn’t even notice at first that he wasn’t interacting with them anymore until a friend mentioned that Jack had never given him eye contact.He and his wife researched a little bit but were certain whatever was wrong with Jack wasn’t autism. He made little gains and to them, that was further proof he was doing just fine. Finally Jason’s mom emailed him and said, “I think Jack has autism and I think you are in denial.” He laughed when he read it, which he is pretty sure people in denial do when they are accused of being in denial.But they had to face the facts. Jack received his diagnosis at age three and they have been on a journey since then.Facing DiagnosisThe diagnosis was a real blow for Jason. He and his wife had two daughters and he was anxiously awaiting a son to be born. His daughters seemed to be born speaking “Elizabethan English” and he took it for granted that his son would be the same.He came from a loud and excitable family that loved sports. Jason imagined that when he had a son that they would watch football on Sundays and then go outside and play. He had all these visions in his head about what fatherhood was going to be like when he had a son.After Jack’s autism diagnosis Jason realized that the dreams he had imagined might never happen and that he was going to have to recalibrate the expectations he had for Jack.Lesson #1 Grieving & FeelingsJason went through the denial stage and then he went through a stage where he was angry with God. After that, Jason went through this long season of sadness and numbness. Jason wasn’t sure how to deal with this grief.Dealing with GriefSome people don’t like using the term grief when you talk about a child, because you should be able to celebrate each child’s uniqueness. But Jason simply wasn’t able to do that at this point.This is a concept Jason talks about in his book and I was so glad to hear it brought up. So many of us have dreams or expectations that we truly do grieve when they don’t happen. The diagnosis doesn’t have to be autism. It could be cancer or depression.Jason explains that for some reason it is okay to feel blue when someone you love is diagnosed with disease–then people understand. But for some reason he feels it is controversial to mention feeling down after a child is diagnosed with some kind of mental disorder like autism. People feel they have to tiptoe around it.Feeling Your FeelingsHe has had some people say, “You should be rejoicing about your child and the beauty that they bring.” But in Jason’s experience you just can’t tell someone how they ought to feel. “Feelings don’t sing on command.”If you are feeling sorrow or grief you can’t just wish your way out of it. “You just pray you can get past some of the heavy stuff so you can see the beauty.” You have to deal with the feelings you are actually dealing with. If you are dealing with grief, you have to acknowledge it and vent it. If you are angry at God. Talk to Him about it and submit it.If you are sad, it is so helpful to acknowledge what it actually is and go through the process of working through it.Anger and GodWe also talked about how it is normal to angry with God during the grief cycle. So just get it out and vent to Him because He is big enough to take it and He still loves us. God also wants us to get through that and move on towards peace.Jason calls this “upward condescension” in his book. We feel like we don’t want to talk about our grief to God because we are afraid He will be mad or can’t handle it. When in reality he sees our grief. He has seen anger, disappointment and disillusionment before. So if the emotion is there, let’s just tell Him that it is there.It is common in these types of situations to have questions and ask, “Why God?” Don’t smother the feelings. “I think it is much more healthy to give them to Him in prayer” Jason shares. Tell God how you are feeling and ask him to come into that place and be with you.Be real with God and He will help you through it.Lesson #2 Look for and Celebrate the Small VictoriesLooking for little victories didn’t come naturally for Jason. Jack is now thirteen and is still pretty much non-verbal. He begged for God to give his son words and be able to relate and have conversations. The problem was Jason didn’t see huge progress in communication and it was easy to sink down into sadness again.Jason confesses his wife has always had an easier time seeing the small ways Jack improves. He tended toward the harsh reality of the situation, “Did you see that meltdown he had today?” He wasn’t going to sugar-coat it. But he realized that,”Some things are really good in the midst of the hardness. So let’s look for those things as well.”Jason found that as he looked for daily little victories, everything changed. You can continue to pray for the big thing, but look for the small miracles as well. Learning this concept was a game-changer for Jason.Lesson #3 Bearing Burdens With OthersJason was always a people-person, but he didn’t realize how much he needed others until he was given something too hard for him to bear on his own.So much of the pop psychology now is “You can do this. You were made for this.”But some things are too big for us. We simply cannot carry the load. This is where community and people can help. When Jason was in depression his wife suggested that he go out with his friends, but he didn’t feel up to it. She would still encourage him to go. The times he went, he always came away feeling better.He needed friends to talk and vent to. We pray for God’s help and God usually sends people to answer our prayer.Jason’s Letter to GodIn Jason’s book, Aching Joy, he wrote this very sweet letter to God once when Jack was going through a self-injury phase. Here is what is says,Dear God. . .I am afraid. . .I have always believed the world is broken, and that you didn’t break it. That you are the Great Restorer. That your Son came to make all things new. This has been my conclusion after years of study and thought, but I have to admit, I am biased on this point, because I desperately want to believe it. I need to believe that you are truly, wholly good. That you don’t desire innocent children to live frantic and bruised. That you don’t lock up a boy’s future behind impaired speech centers in the brain. I don’t know how to help my son, and I don’t know how to pray. I can’t just pray “heal my son” because I don’t even know what that means anymore. I don’t know what anything means. So I won’t pray anything too bold for now. Instead I will just remind you that your name is Immanuel, which means “God with us.” Come close, Immanuel. Prince of Peace, draw near to my son, and give him rest. Amen.Jason read this letter out loud in a sermon once and completely broke down crying. He had to have the Elders from his church come and embrace him. But the sweet outpouring of love that came to him afterwards was amazing.More Than We can Handle“God does give us more than we can handle. We need to cry out to God and have our communities come around us and add strength.”This goes to show that it is really important to be real. When we really are struggling, our answer to the question, “How are you,” shouldn’t be “fine.” It is important for us to open up and be real.This is tricky though because even if we are walking parallel paths we are never truly going to understand one another because everyone’s circumstance is different. This is especially true for special needs families. They often feel like no one understands and so they don’t reach out.But it is important to open up and say, “I know you might not be able to relate to this, so I am just going to tell you this is what is going on. And this is really, really hard.”You can find friends in similar circumstances, but you can also be friends with people who have completely different trials than you do. They can listen and that is a lifesaver.Friend can share in your sorrows and your victories as long as you are open and willing to share.A Breakthrough with JackJason’s constant prayer was that he would be able to have connection and a relationship with Jack. “God you created us to have relationships. I would love for him to understand how much we love him.” This prayer seemed to go unanswered for a really long time.The Book and the BreakthroughOne day Jack brought a little board book home from the library called, “I Like it When.” His wife text him and told him he had to come home and see this.So, Jason rushed home and found Jack on the top bunk reading the book laughing. Jason looked at the book and it depicted a big penguin and a little penguin doing daily things together. For example, there was a picture of two penguins holding each other’s wings and the book said, “I like it when you hold my hand.”Then Jack pointed to the little penguin and the big penguin and said, “Jack and daddy.”The next page showed the big penguin giving the little penguin a bath. It said, “I like it when we splash about.” Jack then said “Jack and Daddy.”Of course by this point Jason is in a puddle of tears.Jack had never used language like this before, and yet he was laughing and pointing at all the things that he did with his dad.Jason realized that God had answered his prayer. Jack understood their relationship.There is so much that goes on in the mind of a child with autism. It is almost like their are prisoners in their own little bodies and they are trying so hard to tell you what they are thinking. You have to learn to decode what they are trying to express when they quote movies or books.The Viral VideoI originally “found” Jason through a video he made where he shares a sweet poem about Jack as he romps through the ocean waves. If you want to watch the video, Click Here.The Backstory of the VideoJason shares a little bit of the backstory. Back in 2016 he was listening to some music and it inspired him to write his feelings about Jack. He tried to cover his frustrations about some of the questions argued over in online forums: Is a person autistic or do they have autism? “So much of autism in general is confusing…and there is sadness and beauty at the same time.”The message he wanted to convey to his son was “I love you.”They filmed Jack and Jason on the beach while Jason recites the poem in the background. He wonders what the waves mean–the gains and losses with autism. There aren’t definite answers.During the first filming his friend got his finger caught in his drone and they had to stop filming. They almost lost all the footage because it kept crashing. They went home discouraged. But his wife convinced him to go back out and try again.The second time around the got all the shots they needed and were able to recover all the originally shot footage as well.The VideoThe video they made immediately went viral. He had like a million views in four days. It was crazy.Jason’s favorite thing was that people started posting pictures of their kids on the spectrum and saying, “This is my son and he is beloved too!”The comments he has received is that although the video was sad, it was hopeful and joyful at the same time. Jason thinks that having that combination of “this is hard but it’s beautiful” is what made the video work and go viral. If we can embrace the hard things we can also embrace the beauty.Favorite Bible VerseJason confesses that he prefers to hang out in the Psalms because they are so heartfelt and full of longing.But in this season of his life, his favorite verse is found in Romans 12:12, “Rejoice in hope. Be patient in tribulation. Be constant in prayer.” It is important to have hope in tribulation, and then rejoicing and hard times. But perhaps it is most important to be present in all of it. Be present in talking to God about all of it.Jason feels this verse summarizes his journey. He didn’t know how to be present in all of it early on. Right now he is on a journey to have more joy in his life. He wonders if there is such a thing as pure joy.The PendulumI shared the story that one of my friend’s grandparents told me when I was a teenager. They explained that our emotions are kind of like a pendulum that swings back and forth. The greater we feel joy, the greater capacity we have to feel sorrow. I have found that to be true. As I have gone through life and experienced greater sorrow than I ever experienced as a teenager, yet I also felt greater love and hope and joy than I had ever felt as a teenager as well.So, it is important to cling to hope when we are hanging out on the sorrow side of the pendulum that it will eventually swing the other way.Feeling NumbJason added that sometimes we think we can protect ourselves by feeling numb, but when we do that we miss out on the beauty. In Aching Joy, Jason explains that you can’t numb one side of your heart only. He feels this is what he tried to do early on–numb the pain and kind of mute everything. The problem was that it then muted everything–even feeling joy with his other children.Jason found that as he was able to experience more pain he was able to experience more beauty.It is important to lean into the pain and experience it–even though it feel counterproductive because that is not where we want to be.Happy All the Time?Some of the songs we sing at church are hilarious because they talk only about joy…”I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart.” Or “I’m inside, outside, upside, downside happy all the time.”Jason jokes that our kids should sue us for religious malpractice because there is also great sadness in this world, and we are just going to have to know how to deal with that.So, we debunked the myth that if you are just good enough you will be happy all the time. It is simply not true, which is what I thought growing up.When I crashed after Nathan was diagnosed I thought, “This is not how it is supposed to work.” And I began to look for proof in the scriptures that if I was just good enough good things would happen. And I found person after person who were good but had hard things happen to them. Think of poor Joseph in Egypt alone. That poor man! He had hard thing after hard thing happen to him.Jason add that Jesus tells us “in this life you will have trouble” (John 16:33). It played out in Jesus’ life and the life of 11 of the 12 disciples who were martyred. This life is full of difficulties. We have to be able to face that and move on.The way you move on is by admitting it is there and dealing with it. Work through it with God and work through it with yourself. Otherwise you will live in perpetual disillusionment.How do you answer when people ask, If life is going to be hard and challenging, why should I believe?Jason answers that it isn’t just about this present moment. Sure, you could earn lots of money and insulate yourself from life and be “happy” without God.But to him the Christian faith embodies what he sees in the world. We were built for love. We were built for beauty and life. And all of that has been damaged, so we experience deep pain. But Christ has come and given us a taste of redemption. He has restored us and that process of restoration is going on until one day it will be complete. That means that one day every injustice will be turned around and one day the things that hold Jack back will be gone. He will be able to speak and sing and say everything that was in his heart.There really is a God up there and His Son really did give Himself in redemption for us so we can be with Him forever.Jason and I agree that we are both looking forward to the day when we can truly talk to and communicate with our sons. This gives us both something incredible to hope for and look forward to.Connect with JasonFacebook His Website (Jasonhague.com)Shareable Quotes and Memes

In today's episode, I speak with Jack's mom, Anna Whiston-Donaldson. Jack died in 2011 at the age of 12 in a freak flash flood while playing at a neighbor's house. Anna had (and still has) a very popular blog post at the time entitled An Inch of Gray. After Jack's death, the family's whole world was turned up-side-down. As we all know, each family member had to find different ways to try to cope with their grief. For Anna, this meant continuing to write her blog. She said that 'her readers kept showing up so she kept writing.' Her writings about her grief were raw and full of emotion which led to her being discovered by an agent and then a publisher who asked her to write a book. The resulting book, Rare Bird, is a painful, honest and real book about grief. Reading it helped normalize my personal feelings and those of many others. Anna now speaks all over the country to groups about parental grief. This has become her passion, as it has become mine. We both strive to help people who walk this path with us, and perhaps even more importantly, help those who will walk the path after us. Today, we talk about our personal journeys as well as struggles that we have heard from others. We discuss the impact on surviving siblings as well and how sometimes, they can feel isolated and out of place. Anna's new book, A Hug from Heaven, is a book for grieving children. Being there for each other as a community of grievers is important; helping our surviving children not feel forgotten is vital.    Ways to Connect With Anna Learn more about Anna by visiting her website: annawhistondonaldson.com Follow her blog: aninchofgray.blogspot.com Follow her on Facebook and Twitter @aninchofgray Follow her on Instagram @annawhistondonaldson Purchase her books by clicking below: For Rare Bird: andysmom.com/rarebird For A Hug From Heaven (children's book): andysmom.com/hug    

The early forties have been a tough time for Jack Chesley. His plane was shot down over Germany and he spent two years in a brutal POW camp. During that time, his wife fell in the tub and died. Prior to her death, the early forties were even tougher for Jack’s wife, Wilma. After Jack was mistakenly presumed dead, she went on a bender that ended with her wrongful commitment to the Camarillo State Psychiatric Hospital. While there, she took up with an alcoholic socialite, a junkie pianist, and a shady hospital employee who promised her a way out. Only that way out set her on the path to the end of her road. Now Jack’s back in Los Angeles. His sister-in-law and Wilma’s twin, Gertie, hunts him down to tell him Wilma’s death was no accident: she was murdered. Gertie’s first efforts to find the truth earned her a bullet to the collarbone. But that doesn’t mean Gertie is ready to give up. She knows the right places to look and the right people to ask. She needs Jack, who was a cop for a short time before the war, to stick his nose into these places and ask these questions so that, together, they can figure out who killed Wilma, and why. Dead Extra follows the parallel storylines of Wilma in the months before her murder in 1944 and Jack and Gertie’s search for the killer in 1946. Their adventures carry them through Hollywood’s second-tier studios, the Camarillo psychiatric hospital, Pasadena mansions, downtown jazz clubs, and one seriously sleazy motor court in Oxnard. Author Sean Carswell is in conversation with Steph Cha,  author of Follow Her Home, Beware Beware, and Dead Soon Enough.

But for some reason he feels it is controversial to mention feeling down after a child is diagnosed with some kind of mental disorder like autism. People feel they have to tiptoe around it. Feeling Your Feelings He has had some people say, “You should be rejoicing about your child and the beauty that they bring.” But in Jason’s experience you just can’t tell someone how they ought to feel. “Feelings don’t sing on command.” If you...

Air Date Oct 23, 1995. After Jack tries to kill Amanda at his mansion, he falls off a balcony and lands in a coma. Amanda goes to Peter for help who promises to help her avoid attempted murder charges, and get rid of Jack's mafia lawyer, Nick Diamond, who begins tailing her. But Michael sees a chance to find some dirt on Peter to use against him and cuts in, making Jack his patient. Meanwhile, Kimberly fills her boredom by calling Dr. Joyce Brothers' radio call-in show to talk of her problems and when she learns from Sydney about Peter spending time with Amanda, she violates her parole. Peter finally tells Kimberly why he's determined to help her which stems from his previous wife who also suffered from a mental illness. But Kimberly eventually faces her fear and confronts the actor, Mark Paul, hired to play Henry and is happy to be over him for good. Hayley and Alison reveal their engagement to Brooke and Billy. After his father's funeral, Matt tells his mother that he will keep his promise to his father by going to medical school. Also, Shelly buys a computer to help Jake with his accounts at Shooters while he tries to make up for lost time with Jo. We're now on Spotify!

The 5WFootball podcast returns after a longer than planned absence with the first episode of 2019! Host Andrew Misra is joined by Jack Perry (no relation to Fred, he claims), a relaxed Lewis Steele and a characteristically dishevelled Barney Stephenson. There's a bit of goal celebration discussion and some Championship chat. There's also a lot of off-pitch stuff too. Things get a bit hairy with the panel offering insight into their shaving regimes, particularly beard trimming. After Jack declares that he has just bought a hoover, we offer our own vacuum cleaner buying guide at the request of Barney. Plenty of questions are incorporated from our fans, for which we are very grateful. Keep them coming! Of course, there's a dash of trivia to boot.

This post should help you understand the difference between a testamentary trust and an inter vivos trust. All trusts are either testamentary or inter vivos. Inter vivos trusts are also called "Living Trusts." The best way to describe the difference is to put them in context of a real-life situation. Let's say Jack is engaged in his estate planning. He is married to Jill and he has two children. He wants to leave his estate in a way so that Jill is taken care of, but after Jill dies, he wants his estate to go to his two children. Jack goes to an attorney and the attorney prepares a Will with Testamentary Trust. The terms of the trust are a part of Jack's last will and testament. Jack's will says that when Jack dies, Jack's estate will go to the "Jack Testamentary Trust." After Jack dies, Jill and Jack's kids assume that no probate is necessary because "Jack had a trust." However, their assumption is incorrect. There will always be a probate (or in Louisiana called a "Succession") when someone leaves their assets or estate to a testamentary trust. When Jack dies with a testamentary trust, his assets that are in his name when he dies will be frozen, and the courts must oversee the management and ultimate transfer of the assets to the trust. Now, instead, let's say that, instead of Jack creating a testamentary trust, he creates the stand-alone "Jack Inter Vivos Trust" or the "Jack Living Trust," If Jack transfers his asset to the Jack Living Trust during his lifetime, no Succession or Probate will be necessary when Jack dies because the assets will already be in the trust and there will be no assets in Jack's name that would be frozen and subject to the court-supervised transfer process.

On this edition of The Sarcasm City Podcast the hosts are joined by Jack on the first part of the podcast. Jack dicusses the fight he was involved in with fellow battle rapper Jamil, why it happened & what happened afterwards.

In Episode 61, we welcome Jack Vogel, CFO/CIO of Alpha Architect, and the partner of Wes Gray, who you may remember as one of our earliest Meb Faber Show guests. After Jack tells us a bit about his background and how he came to be at Alpha Architect, Meb jumps in, starting with "factors" - specifically, the value factor. Meb asks about Jack's value philosophy in general, and how he creates a value portfolio. What follows is a great look at how a professional portfolio manager/asset allocator creates a portfolio. Using quantitative tools, Jack starts by constructing the universe of potential assets to include, keeping in mind scale. Next, Jack applies some forensic accounting in order to exclude certain toxic assets that one wouldn't want in a portfolio. Then, he screens for value. Jack likes using enterprise multiples. Finally, he looks for "quality." These are things like free cash flow, margin growth and marketing stability. Meb then points the conversation toward momentum investing. Jack offers us a general overview first, noting how momentum investing can be really beneficial for value investors. He also makes the point how it's definitely different than growth investing. In discussing creating a momentum portfolio, Jack discusses adding seasonality (which means addressing when to rebalance) and quality. On the topic of quality, Jack gives us a great example of what it means in the context of earnings; it involves two stocks, one of which is flat for an extended period, but then explodes in value in a short amount of time, versus the other that experiences the same growth, but gradually and consistently over the entire period. Which earnings are more "quality"? Jack gives us his thoughts. Next up is Alpha Architect's great tool, Visual Active Share. It's a wonderful way for investors to compare the holdings of an ETF to its benchmark index. Investors can use this to see just how "different" the ETF in question truly is. After all, you don't want to be paying too much in fees for an ETF that's really just a closet index fund. The guys discuss whether there's a particular number for what "good" active share is, as well as the challenge of tracking error as you grow more "different." As usual, there's a great deal more in this episode: Alpha Architect's new value, momentum, trend ETF... A discussion of the state of robos... What new tools Jack and his crew at Alpha Architect are working on now in order to help investors pull back the curtain on various funds... And of course, Jack's most memorable trade - it was the last individual stock he owned, which he now refers to as 'The Titanic.' What was the stock? Find out in Episode 61.

Jenny Sages was born in Shanghai, China, to Russian parents. Her family migrated to Australia in the 40s when she was a teenager. After studying at the Franklin School of Art in New York she returned to Australia where she worked as a freelance illustrator and writer, mainly in fashion and travel, for various magazines including Vogue. It wasn’t until the early 80s, when she went on a trip to the remote Kimberley ranges in Western Australia, that her career in fine art really began.  It was there that she fell in love with the people and landscape of the Australian outback and she began her career as a full time painter. It was the beginning of annual trips to remote communities of the Northern Terrirtory and Western Australia where she became friends with aboriginal artists including those amongst Australia's most famous - Emily Kngwarreye and Gloria Petyarre. Sages not only paints the Australian landscape but is also an acclaimed portraitist and creates intricate abstract works. Apart from winning the Wynne prize for landscape painting she was awarded the Portia Geach prize for portraiture twice and the Archibald People’s Choice award.  She was also selected as a finalist in the Wynne, Archibald and other prizes many times (a staggering 20 times for the Archibald) and she’s been the subject of several documentaries.  The National Portrait Gallery also held a touring exhibition of her portraits in 2011. Press play above to hear our conversation which is on the Talking with Painters podcast. To see Sages talk about her current work in progress and to see inside her studio have a look at the short video posted on the Talking with Painters YouTube channel here.

Kurt - Randy Anders Brett - Jack Crandall John - Erin Shaughnessy Neil - GM Randy is admitted and kept overnight at the hospital. He tells Jack and Erin about the guy who beat him up including the interesting detail that his attacker had some sort of occult symbol tattooed on his wrist. They sit around trying to put all of the pieces together and then Jack decides to head down to Randy’s work to investigate. Erin stays behind to keep an eye on Randy. The parking lot is deserted except for Randy’s car. After a bit of investigation Jack finds what looks to have been the attackers hiding spot in the hedges along the building. Following the line of the building he comes out into the parking lot of the 24 hour Donut Hut. Right near the dumpster is two burnout marks made by car tires. Knowing that he’s close, Jack heads into the Donut Hut. Turns out the manager is a Bandana Jack fan. Not only does Jack score some free donuts he gets the manager to show him the surveillance footage of the area around the dumpster. Score one for the old guy, sure as shit the video show’s Randy’s attacker. Jack takes a video with his phone and heads back to the hospital. After Jack gets back to the hospital, Sergeant Jeffries visits the trio to get Randy’s statement. Erin and Jack become somewhat belligerent before settling down. Once officer Jeffries leaves Jack shows Erin and Randy the video he took on his phone. Randy is eventually discharged and the guys head over to Characters Diner for brunch. Like Randy says taking a beating really makes you hungry. Next they head to Randy’s mom’s house to pick up some things for Randy. When they pull up out front they see the front door is ajar. After a quick check at the door Erin dives into the house…….. Theme music created by Brett Miller http://www.brettmillermusic.net/
