Spring is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than a Bloom edition of Public Safety Thursday! Janet Michael kicked off the conversation with Captain Warren Gosnell from the Frederick County Sheriff's Office. The discussion centered around the Apple Blossom Festival, a beloved local tradition. Goz shared his thoughts on the month-long social media initiative, where he posts daily tidbits to celebrate May. Conversations touched on everything from his daughter's birthday to iconic events like Star Wars Day and Cinco de Mayo. Moving on to the festival itself, Goz detailed the highly anticipated apple pie baking contest. With 20 entries and three judges, it's an event that brings the community together. The conversation also delved into public perceptions of the Apple Blossom Festival. Goz emphasized patience and respect for neighborhood inconveniences, acknowledging the dedication of local volunteers who make the event possible. Janet chimed in with personal experiences, highlighting the sense of community fostered during the festival. Safety tips were another crucial aspect discussed. Goz advised locals to plan ahead, exercise patience, and always be mindful of their surroundings. Whether it's managing traffic or staying alert in crowded areas, these tips aimed to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Janet and Goz's banter brought a blend of nostalgia and practicality to the discussion. From reminiscing about high school football coaches to engaging with Apple Blossom queens, their stories showcased the festival's deep-rooted significance in the community. As the session concluded, Goz reminded everyone to respect community spaces, be considerate of others, and most importantly, prepare for a weekend of fun and festivity. Whether you're a fan of the Apple Blossom Festival or a new visitor, this conversation provided invaluable insights into celebrating responsibly.
It's Apple Blossom Week and Barry celebrates a 'pink and green' podcast with Sabra Veach, a long-time fan, volunteer and Vice President with the Festival. Sabra shares her memories of marching in the parades with the Handley Band, her line-up of festival outfits (they're labeled) and her neighborhood tradition of sidewalk chalk art and portraits. Also on this festive episode, Barry pulls a couple of silly Apple Blossom songs out of his radio show archives: 'The Land Of Pink And Green' and 'I'll Be Feasting At Apple Blossom Time.'
It’s not all glamor and glitter for Apple Blossom Queen Ella Johnson. In this episode, we follow Ella through a day packed with early mornings, community visits, donut devotionals, promposals, and even a few Nerf snowball battles. From leading younger girls in faith talks to bringing joy to senior citizens, Ella shares the real heart behind the crown — and her advice for anyone chasing big dreams.Support the show: https://www.wenatcheeworld.com/site/forms/subscription_services/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Frederick County Parks and Recreation is gearing up for an eventful summer, kicking off with its popular Youth Trout Derby on May 9th at Clearbrook Park. Marketing Manager Jeremy Sanders joined host Janet Michael on the Valley Today to discuss the array of upcoming activities. The Youth Trout Derby is a cherished event, inviting kids aged four to fifteen to enjoy a day of fishing. It's free but requires early registration at fcprd.net to ensure there are enough door prizes for all participants. Jeremy also highlighted the upcoming Sunset Series, featuring 12 weeks of free live music at Bowman Amphitheater starting June 5th. "We've got everyone from Jimmy Lee to the Fly Birds," he said, noting the picturesque lakeside setting. Independence Day will be marked with a spectacular fireworks display and a performance by the local band Train Wreck at Sherando Park. Food trucks from Chick-fil-A to Kona Ice will cater to all tastes, making it a family-friendly event. Dog lovers should mark their calendars for the charity dog walk and pool pawty at Sherando Park, offering trails for dogs of all endurance levels followed by pool activities. Frederick County Parks and Rec also has a robust lineup of races under the "Run at the Top" series. Kicking off with the Kids Blooming Mile on the Friday of Apple Blossom weekend, Jeremy notes that this event draws over a thousand young runners. The following day, the Valley Health 10K attracts even more participants, including elite runners. For a unique experience, don't miss the "Glow All Out 5K" on July 18th, an evening race with glow-in-the-dark elements. Although Janet isn't a runner herself, she found the idea of a fun, less competitive glow run intriguing. The summer guide, filled with information on classes, workshops, athletic events, and more is available online. Jeremy encouraged listeners to register at fcprd.net to get a copy delivered to their homes. For the most current updates, he recommended checking the Frederick County Parks and Rec Facebook page. With such a wide range of activities, Frederick County Parks and Rec ensures there's something for everyone this summer. Jeremy concludes, "We'll keep you busy!"

The Night Under Lights Presents: The Seasons at the Moon Pool (replayable VRChat link and video) shown during Raindance Immersive was one of the most immersive music experiences I've ever had in VR so far. It was so awe-inspiring and incredible to see 3 DJ / VJ sets using the SNR Labs particle-screen version of their holographic Apple Global Illumination shader that I covered previously in episode #1413 with Apple_Blossom and A://DDOSS. The real-time immersive lighting effects have to be seen in VR to fully appreciate the awe-inspiring nature of it. You can see a video capture of it below, but if you have PCVR, then I highly, highly recommend checking out the replayable version on VRChat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZJ53W7NYnA VJs are able to input their 2D video livestream into the SNR Labs particle screen shader, which then translates the luminance values into height and enables a sort of volumetric translation. It has a DepthKit-like effect where you can see 3-dimensional shapes and objects with shadows or imagine if you were to push a cube through a sheet of fabric to get a feeling of objects from one-degree of fidelity, which is height from a fixed plane. VJ Silent and VJ namoron were instrumental in helping to develop this shader with SNR Labs, and TehArbitter's Moon Pool location for Night Under Lights was also instrumental in helping to shape the development of it. VJ TehArbitter (aka Arbi) brought together two other VJs and three DJs to present three sets with the theme of the different seasons. The first set was DJ Ladybug + VJ Silent, the second set was DJ Yuna + VJ TehArbitter, and then the final set was DJ Terkoiz + VJ namoron. I had a chance to catch up with half of the performers including VJ Silent and VJ namoron as well as with DJ Ladybug to talk more about the development of this specific project, but also to recount some of the history of the visual effects in the VRChat clubbing scene as well deeper trends of volumetric and holographic visual effects that VJs are exploring in VR. Also whether it merits a new terms as video jockey or visual jockey doesn't always fully encompass the holographic, volumetric, spatial, immersive, or narrative elements that are being explored. Some of the VRChat clubs discussed include: Dimension, Virtual Base event, Shelter, Ghost Club, Concrete, Concrete: Pale Sands, PSHQ, Slyfest, Loner, Kaleidosky, Sanctum, Schism, Deviate, Atlantis, Mochii's Island, Reflections, Redacted, Heist, Light Dimension, Simplicity, & Endless Serenity Also worth noting is that there are three VRChat worlds that are being featured in the Venice Immersive Worlds Gallery that connected to the themes discussed in this episode, and they're also three of the 20 VRChat worlds in the Venice selection that are not and likely will not have a public-facing world that's easily accessible. The NUL Presents˸ The Seasons Replay @ moon_pool is not in the Venice Immersive worlds gallery, and does have replayable version. But Silent works at Sanctum, and their billboarded stereoscopic screen in the Reactor is being featured in Venice, and the SNR Labs: Test Facility will be demonstrating the more 3D version of their Holographic shader named Apple Global Illumination, and Silent also mentioned Jerk and May who have the Concrete: Pale Sands, which is also a part of Venice Immersive.

SoftlySteph's The Friction of a Modulated Soul took home the Best Dance Experience at Raindance Immersive in a groundbreaking performance that tells the "story about the different cages that bind us from our authentic truth." It's a piece that completely blew me away with it's technological innovations, her fluid and emotionally-driven dance, a moving story that takes you on guided journey towards authentic identity, and an excellent curation of music from other VRChat creators. The piece manages to tie together so many different strands of technical innovation, storytelling, and performance, and it was one of my highlights from the entire Raindance Immersive festival this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAUjJ_ozldM The crux of the innovations within The Friction of a Modulated Soul are from the new holographic shader (aka the "Apple Global Illumination") developed in partnership with SNR Labs' Apple Blossom, A://DDOS, and namoron (covered in great detail in the previous episode #1413) that both plays back recorded holographic objects that are a part of a timed dance performance, but also replicates and mirrors her dance performance at different scales in real-time. There's also real-time lighting effects on the 1.4 million point-cloud pixels that are utterly awe-inspiring, and took lots of black magic shader wizardry pull it all off by encoding and decoding information from video streams (again many of the more technical details are covered in episode #1413). I saw this piece as a live performance during Raindance, but they're also working on a replayable VRChat world that should be ready within the next month or so. SoftlySteph also curated a soundtrack of independent music by VRChat creators with five of the songs specifically composed for this piece. Everything in this piece was designed around story, which takes the audience on a journey from resisting internal disconnections, to achieving authentic connection to self, to then resisting collective pressures to disconnect, and then finally culminating with authentic connection. https://twitter.com/SoftlySteph/status/1807125937819148769 Overall, this was a beautifully-executed piece that is pushing into new forms of dance genre and performance, and was well-deserving of the best dance performance at Raindance Immersive. I had a chance to catch up with SoftlySteph to get a bit more context about how this project came about, her journey into VR via the stage dance and dance performance scene, and then her intentions with architecting this story about authentic self.

There was a new holographic shader developed by members of SNR Labs group on VRChat that completely blew me away in how it was used in a couple of performances at Raindance Immersive. It's like a new form of volumetric capture that also has lighting effects, and can be used in translating 2D images into 3D or capturing low-res 3D objects into a sort of hybrid of point-cloud, particle effect, 3D objects. It's called Apple Global Illumination after it's primary author Apple_Blossom, who worked with designing it with A://DDOS along with other collaborating artists including VJ Silent, VJ Namoron, and immersive dancer SoftlySteph. SoftlySteph's Frictions of a Modulated Soul took home the best dance performance at Raindance Immersive (and will be featured more in depth in the next episode), and the Night Under Lights: The Seasons at Moon Pool was one of the more awe-inspiring uses of this shader and was a personal favorite of mine from this year's festival. See the VRChat replay of the Moon Pool here and I'll be covering this in two episodes from now. There's a particle screen variation of the shader that is able to translate 2D VJ screens into more volumetric experiences based upon the luminance value of each pixel, which can be seen in this video below: https://youtube.com/watch?v=rZJ53W7NYnA Then there's a version that can encode 3D objects into a video that is streamed into VRChat, and then decoded into a dynamic hybrid between a particle effect, point cloud representation, and 3D model. And each of the particles are emitting light that are reflected on the surrounding environment and avatars. Here's a clip of SoftlySteph's performance as captured by Madame Kana https://twitter.com/SoftlySteph/status/1807125937819148769 Their SNR Labs Test Facility was also selected to be a part of the Venice Immersive Worlds gallery that opens next week. Here's a video overview: https://twitter.com/SNR_LABS/status/1813989248837595504 I had a chance to sit down with Apple_Blossom and A://DDOS to learn more about how this breakthrough shader was developed, as well as diving a bit into the weeds for the mechanics for how it works. The Apple Global Illumination feels like a real revelation and breakthrough in how it's opening up new avenues for how VJs and dancers will be able to use it for new forms of creative expression and holographic and volumetric effects to be paired with DJ sets across different clubbing venues in VRChat.

The recording of the album "De Stijl" by The White Stripes marked a pivotal moment in the band's career and the modern rock music landscape. Released in 2000, this sophomore effort showcased the raw and minimalist sound that would become their signature. Recorded on an 8-track analog tape machine in a small Detroit studio, the album captured the essence of garage rock revivalism with its stripped-down instrumentation and electrifying energy. Jack White's frenetic guitar riffs and primal vocals, combined with Meg White's primal and no-frills drumming, created a sound that was both timeless and innovative. "De Stijl" drew inspiration from various musical genres, from blues to punk, and showcased the band's lyrical and musical prowess. With tracks like "Hello Operator" and "Apple Blossom," the album offered a glimpse into the White Stripes' musical craftsmanship, setting the stage for their meteoric rise in the years to come. It remains a crucial piece of the band's discography and a testament to their enduring influence on the alternative rock scene. #jackwhite #thewhitestripes #indiemusic

Clematis armandii, named ‘Apple Blossom' has buds that are a lovely soft pink, and even when the flowers open, the lower part of the petals retain that color against the pure white center.

Check out the very best Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby seminar in the game right HERE! Nobody does it better! On this episode of Past the Wire's podcast, Gate to Wire, our hosts Michael Vale and Jonathan Stettin take a look at a few different topics.They discuss why and how the sad passing of Midnight Bourbon occurred in his stall at Churchill Downs on Sunday morning, but was not reported until Wednesday by the Daily Racing Form. Apparently Midnight Bourbon fell ill from some sort of gastrointestinal issue following a five furlong workout. The colt reportedly declined rapidly and succumbed to the illness later in the morning. It is a sad and tragic loss. Midnight Bourbon was one of the top stakes horses in the country and had most recently raced in both The Saudi Cup in Saudi Arabia and the Dubai World Cup in Dubai. Not many horses compete in both those races and most horses who ship there to run get a break when they return to the states. Midnight Bourbon had only been back a few weeks and was already working seemingly with no break. Additionally the horse was stabled with his trainer, Steve Asmussen at Churchill Downs. Asmussen also trains early Kentucky Derby favorite Epicenter and the Derby is just over two weeks away. That makes the fact this went unreported for three or four days even stranger. On a slight stray from the course Mike and Jon take a little look at the Mike Tyson plane incident. We think you'll appreciate their takes.We also take a look at the return of champions Malathaat and Letruska on Friday at Keeneland and Saturday at Oaklawn. Mike and Jon both like a horse in the Apple Blossom, and it is not the heavy favorite and tough to beat champ Letruska. Thank you for tuning in and we hope you enjoy the show!
Alex Peckham New Zealand's Premier Cidermaker With wit and charm and dashing good looks Alex Peckham charmed all who had the pleasure of meeting him. The fact that he produced exemplary ciders was merely a side bonus. I met Alex for the first and only time in Baltimore Maryland in 2018. We were both attending that American Cider Association's annual trade conference CiderCon. I posted that episode in Season 3 of Cider Chat on episode 139. Since that time, Peckhams has continued to expand its cider offerings in both bottles and cans. It is a must have brand from this beautiful region of the world. Alex Peckham CiderCon 2018 Alex Peckham passed away due to a malignant brain tumor in April of 2022. He was 59 years old. The tumor had been diagnosed 3 months earlier. He had a a lot of life yet to live and is deeply missed by so many in cider world. In this Chat with Alex It is my hope dear listeners of Cider Chat that this episode may encourage you to visit the Southern Hemisphere whose growing season is much different than what we find in the North. I hope it will help you plan a trip to New Zealand and taste the cuisine, meet the people and drink their fine cider. Peckham's was never opened to the public, but that shouldn't deter you to seek out its cider now. And interesting coincidence I have reworked a bit of the news in this episode to update from the original airing in 2018. Interestingly at that time I was offering a cider tour to France. Caroline Peckham, Alex's beloved wife, wrote to me at the time of episode 139's airing, "Wow! We listened to your podcast last night and it was awesome - thank you so much! We loved how you went through the cidermaking year in the Southern Hemisphere - really helps people get a handle on the process and brings it to life. Only downside was that we are now both so envious of your trip to Normandy! My mother is French and I spent some time in Brittany when younger, eating galettes and drinking cider, so I know what a treat you are in for." In this episode 316, I am once again offering a tour to both Normandy and Brittany. After two years of pandemic shut downs, it is time to return. Reservations go live next week at the https://ciderchat.com/totallyciderfrance/ We have come full circle. The highlights in this episode with Alex When is New Zealand's Apple Blossom season? How long is New Zealand's growing season? When do they make cider? Alex also shares tips on how he makes cider working with both cultured and wild yeast. Alex is full of cider knowledge and an absolutely delightful man with wit and insight that helps make this chat a must listen. Who knew that hares could be such a problem in the orchard?
