A conversation with Marcus Snead, the executive chef at The Barfield and the three-time winner of the "Top Chef Amarillo" competition at Restaurant Roundup. Snead grew up in Canyon before leaving the area for a culinary education, which took him from New York City to the East Coast to Santa Fe to a Michelen-rated restaurant in Chicago. After returning to the Panhandle, he helped launch and operate Canyon's late, great Barrel & Pie until its closure in 2020. Snead shares with host Jason Boyett about his restaurant history, what it's like to oversee dining at Amarillo's most famous hotel, and how the local food culture has changed over the past two decades. This episode is supported by SKP Creative on behalf of The Amarillo Tribune.
Owen Barfield was the genius Inkling, said CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien. But why does he so much matter today?They consider how Owen Barfield addresses the idea of secularism developed by Charles Taylor and why that might matter in a cultural moment that feels like a folk in the road. They speak personally of how Barfield touched them and why his insights might matter to the psychedelic renaissance.A central idea is that of polarity - moving beyond the dualisms that trap people, on the left and on the right, in a flatland mentality.They ask how Barfield's vision of final participation can be understood, even experienced, in language, in nature, with Indigenous traditions, in sacrament. They also consider how Rudolf Steiner, so important to Barfield, might be appreciated critically.Fundamental is the Christian insight that the transcendent is also immanent, the many are reflections of the one, and that humanity shares in divine purposes.For more on Mark, including his book on Barfield's understanding of Christianity - www.markvernon.comFor more on Ashton - https://ciis.academia.edu/ashtonkohlarnoldy0:00 Barfield's relevance today06:47 Monotheism and the singular self12:02 Encountering worlds of spirit20:26 The task of integration27:49 The ongoing Christian revelation32:34 Steiner and politics today44:03 The experience of polarity49:22 Barfield and ecology53:03 Taylor's interspace and imagination56: 29 The divine power of language01:01:08 Poetry and the evolution of consciousness01:06:54 The past in the present and the future01:11:09 Questions of identity01:16:44 The future orientation of Christianity01:21:09 Residual unprocessed positivism01:25:38 Critical readings of Steiner01:30:42 Concluding remarks
FORTY FACETS OF THE ASCENSION: Kickstarter is LIVE! Right now! Hop on over and back Sarah's new book! In the meanwhile, Dad and I continue our discussion of the Ascension of Jesus in the New Testament: how John's entire Gospel is a cosmic parabola of descent and ascent, with a twist; why the Ascension is the crux of the matter for Hebrews's Day of Atonement interpretation of Jesus' sacrifice; and the apostle Paul's apocalyptic orientation to the ascended Lord. From there we look at the presence, not absence of the ascended Jesus in our midst: in the preached word, in the Lord's Supper, and in the very bodies of his baptized believers. Notes: 1. Hey, did I mention my Kickstarter is running right now for Forty Facets of the Ascension?? 2. Torrance, Space, Time, and Resurrection 3. Barfield, Poetic Diction and Saving the Appearances 4.

Are you still doing keyword searches and going to the individual filing and using control F? That's the old way of doing things before AI. With Fintool, you can ask any question and it's going to automatically generate the best answer. So they may pull from a portion of an earnings call, or a 10k, whatever it may be and then answer your question. The best part- every portion of the answer is cited with the source document. Now- if you've tried to do any of this in ChatGPT you may know that the answers are often wrong or hallucinations. The way Fintool is able to outperform ChatGPT is their focus on the SEC filings.

On November 5, 1936 — The Dodgers name Burleigh Grimes as their new manager. The former Brooklyn spitballer will be replacing Casey Stengel, who was fired last month during the World Series after compiling a 208-251 (.453) record during his four-year tenure. The Dodgers for a short period will be paying 3 managers, Max Carey, Grimes and Stengel. Grimes will last two seasons and win only 131 games and lose 171.On November 5, 1997 – In an unprecedented move, Davey Johnson resigns the same day he is named American League Manager of the Year. Despite the fact that Johnson ended the Baltimore Orioles' 13-year playoff drought in 1996 and led the Orioles to the league's best record in 1997 (98-64), a dispute over $10,500 in fines to second baseman Roberto Alomar ends Johnson's reign in Baltimore. Johnson directed the fines to be paid to a charity. Orioles owner Peter Angelos is upset with the way the matter is handled and Johnson resigns.On November 5, 2010 — One of the approximately 60 rare T206 Honus Wagner baseball cards, auctioned off by the Baltimore-based School Sisters of Notre Dame, is acquired by a sporting card store owner Doug Walton, who pays $262,000 for the treasured piece of memorabilia. The School Sisters of Notre Dame plan to use the windfall from the sale of the valuable card of the Pirates' third baseman to benefit ministries for the poor in 35 countries.Born November 5, Selected by the Toronto Blue Jays as the second player overall in the 1978 free agent draft, Lloyd Moseby was rushed to the majors by the talent-hungry Blue Jays faster than the development of his potential would have ordinarily warranted. A talented center fielder, he combined with Jesse Barfield and George Bell to form what was sometimes called the best outfield in baseball in the late 1980s.In 1983 Moseby became the first Blue Jay to score 100 runs in a season, and tied teammate Damaso Garcia for a team-record (and league-leading) 21-game hitting streak. The following season, he tied with teammate Dave Collins for the AL lead in triples, and was a consistent run-producer and stolen base threat for the mid-80s Jays. By the end of the decade, the “best outfield” was being dismantled. Barfield was traded to the Yankees, and emerging prospect Junior Felix was gradually pushing Moseby out of center. When Moseby signed with the Detroit Tigers in December 1989, he left Toronto as the Blue Jays' career leader in games, at-bats, runs, hits, doubles, total bases, extra-base hits, stolen bases, strikeouts, being hit by the pitch, and sacrifice flies.

In this episode we chat with Christa Barfield, founder of FarmerJawn, a Philadelphia based farm focused on reintroducing farming into the lifestyles of underserved communities. Farmerjawn is the largest black-woman owned regenerative organic produce farm in the United States and hosts a variety of educational programs and experiences that bring healthy food and nature back into the lives of urban people. In this wide-ranging conversation we discuss the stigmatized relationship that many black & brown people have with the land and how to fix it, the power of amplifying one's voice to spread a message, how we can make healthy local food more accessible and convenient for urban people, and how agriculture is equally a part of all our lineages.

Three “trans” issues seem to be proxies for vision in contemporary politics, feeding the sense of despair and disillusion.Trans activism, which is not the same as trans pathology.Transhumanising, the techno-utopian dream of tomorrow.Transitioning the economy, moving from extractive consumption.All three are about qualities of relationship:- to our bodies- to our minds- to the rest of the natural world.And I wonder if all three are missing a common element: an understanding of soul.I draw on thoughts made by Rowan Williams at the Realisation Festival 2024.My previous thoughts on disillusionment in politics can be found in my feed, too, looking at Plato on beauty, Aristotle on ethics, Jesus on being in the world but not of it, Dante on civilisational decline, Blake on abstraction, and Barfield on literalism.
Season 1, Episode 36, Release Date: 6-30-2024 Robert Falconer and the Others Within Us Robert Falconer is defintely a hero of mine. He has written many enlightening books that include "The Others Within Us" and his latest (hot off the presses) "When You're Going Through Hell... Keep Going." Find out more about Bob here: www.robertfalconer.us He combines trauma healing and spirituality in his work-- which has been involved with for over 50 years! Through grace, he has always found himself motivated to heal his own trauma. This has led him into the field of helping others in their journey to heal trauma. He incorporates wisdom from a diversity of cultures. He spoke about Owen Barfield, the less famous friend of CS Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Dr. Barfield explored participation with our external reality, and how this got cut off around the time of ancient Greece. Western psychology is seen by some as colonization of the mind, which rose alongside imperialism. Is there a way to bring back spirituality to this? We spoke about how IFS does this, "to some degree." However, the 8 C's seem to stop short of some important Self qualities, such as: Luminosity Transcendence Radiance We spoke about how graduate schools seem content with the 8 C's-- particularly "calm" Indeed, much of the Western world (myself included) doesn't understand why this is limited... that is until hearing Bob speak about spirituality. To understand a different kind of spiritual understanding, Bob invited me (and the audience) to think about the Sans people, Bushmen of the Kalahari. Their spirituality is high energy, it is esctatic dancing. They get spiritual energy by moving! Looking around (particularly in most therapy offices), Bob fears that we banish esctatic spirituality in this society. Perhaps one way to bring this back is through a pschedelic renaissance. Bob feels that we should be focused on generative change. Unlike counteractive change, gernative change happens when we plant seeds, and allow for contious transformation of a system, which becomes self-sustaining. Bob invites us to learn more from the non-Western cultures. We spoke about how to help prepare someone for a psychodelic experience, and Bob shared how this is multi-layered. He stressed the need for permission from the entire system. We spoke about how psychedelics seem to address rumination of a system. Bob shared that he doesn't believe people can heal from trauma without some form of spirituality or meaning of their world. To him, each moment can be a doorway into eternity, if we can appreciate the present moment. We can do this by pausing when we find ourselves experiencing awe, wonder, joy. This is a way to respect our own existence. We spoke about the definition of "mental health" and how our society puts these people in boxes that become extremely limiting. Instead, these people just might be the visionaries, who need more of a compassionate container. Again, we can find beautiful models of this if we look to other societies that have been able to do this more effectively than we have.
Clearing the FOG with co-hosts Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese
Two members of Veterans for Peace participated in a recent delegation to South Korea to mark the anniversary of two young girls who were killed by a US tank during a military exercise. Clearing the FOG speaks with Ellen Barfield, a long time activist who was on delegation and who was serving in South Korea in 1980 when the massacre of students and leftists occurred in Gwangju, about the trip and the ongoing war in Korea. Barfield also discusses the RIMPAC military exercises that begin this week in the Pacific and the veteran-led Peace Walk that is headed to Washington, DC for the anti-NATO activities starting the weekend of July 6 and 7.

In S4Ep12 of the PRP, Adam chops it up with blossoming distance runner, proud Filipino immigrant, MTV Jams enthusiast and undeniable drip god Julius John Tiempo, who has been preparing for the DXA2 Half Marathon on Sunday June 2nd, 2024. Aaron Barfield, emerging long distance runner, family man extraordinaire and proud PRP alumni returns to the show to offer his take on all things fashion, N/A beers and of course, egg rolls. This laid back conversation kicks off with Jay providing some unique insight into his upbringing and his relationship with his family at an early age. After he was born, his mother was forced to leave the Philippines in order to work abroad so she could provide ample financial support for her son. This meant Jay was raised by his extended family and gave rise to the concept of “chosen family”, a lifestyle that has become a pillar of Jay's ethos and an idea that proved infinitely significant when moving to the United States alone when he was just seventeen years old. From building friendships to starting businesses to pursuing passions, Jay will be the first to admit he couldn't do it without his OG's. Things get vulnerable when Jay reflects on how a recent injury has affected his preparation and overall well being over the past few weeks. As a newcomer and constant student of the sport, he was surprised with the amount of mental adversity he experienced when running was taken away from him in a major way for the first time. Although taxing, Jay admits he's happy this happened when it did as it has led to some amazing perspective for him as an athlete and human being. Just like in life, progress sure as hell ain't linear, and if you remove those expectations, you're bound to find more joy along the way. What is Legion and why should you know more about it? We out here saggin?? Pinoy papi, say whaaa? Leg's up! Streetwear brand for trail runners?! Drip gods in da house!! Is Kensington calling? Ummm, does Jay's family own a nanner farm???

In this second episode of the Sophia Lectures, Professor Douglas Hedley from the University of Cambridge embarks on a deep exploration into the theme of "play" and its relationship to consciousness, language, and poetic expression. Drawing upon the intellectual legacies of Owen Barfield and Hans-Georg Gadamer, Hedley explores the philosophical and theological dimensions of language, highlighting its role in shaping our understanding of existence. He discusses the concept of the "inner word" as described by Augustine and how poetry serves as a bridge between the tangible and the abstract, allowing for playful exploration of meaning. Hedley critiques modern perspectives on consciousness, suggesting that they often overlook the importance of play in human experience. Through discussions on the significance of metaphor, the societal role of poetry, and the collective versus individual nature of consciousness, Hedley offers a comprehensive examination of how language and poetry are fundamental to our comprehension of the world and how play is a vital aspect of this process. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersections of language, consciousness, and the human condition, providing a rich tapestry of philosophical inquiry and reflection. Douglas Hedley is a distinguished philosopher at the University of Cambridge, celebrated for his extensive research in the philosophy of religion and Platonism. He is the author of multiple influential works on imagination and religious experience.

Have you ever stood at the crossroads of career and calling, unsure of which path to take? Christa Barfield didn't just stand at that crossroad; she blazed a trail from a decade-long healthcare profession to revolutionizing urban agriculture. Our latest episode charts Christa's remarkable pivot, capturing her transformation from burnout to beacon of change. With the birth of Viva Tea Leaf and the FarmerJawn initiative, Christa has rooted herself deeply in the mission to heal communities through sustainable living and the power of food as medicine.The seed of inspiration can come from the most unexpected places – for Krista, it was a trip to Martinique. She recounts her pivotal encounter with local Black farmers to establishing FarmerJawn, a name that has become a rallying cry for inclusivity and empowerment within the agricultural scene of Philadelphia. Christa shares some of the challenges and triumphs of intertwining food sovereignty with community development, and the importance of equipping future generations with knowledge to cultivate their own sustainable success.In this episode, Christa shares FarmerJawn's next step, CornerJawn, which will sow seeds of health in food deserts. The first CornerJawn will open in summer 2024 in Germanton in Northwest Philadelphia. Her approach intertwines business savvy with a profound social impact. The plan is to create partnerships with medical schools, integrating food education with health screenings, to reshape community health one zip code at a time. Tune in as we uncover the layers of Christa Barfield's extraordinary journey and the legacy she is cultivating for urban communities.Christa's BioChrista Barfield is a health-care professional turned farmer and lifelong Philadelphia resident. It was 10 years into her career in health-care administration when her life led her to pursuing health and happiness in a more sustainable way. After a solo trip abroad in January 2018, she returned home inspired to connect with the land, plant life, and social issues that heavily impact Black and brown communities and all people's perception of food. Her business is a reincarnation of her healthcare career with a focus on regeneration and nutrition security. Now with 128 acres across 3 counties in PA, she has built FarmerJawn with an equitable focus on Food is Medicine and she is leading conversations nationwide on how to take a Farm First approach to America's relationship with food and health."Website: https://www.farmerjawn.co/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/farmerjawn_/Like what you heard?

There is much talk of a revival of Christianity amongst secular intellectuals, at least in my cultural bubble. That may or may not be sociological significant and church attendence figures stay in marked decline. But what interests me is not so much the numbers as the spirit of the renewed interest. What is the feel of the Christianity being discussed, what attitudes does it embody, what spiritual does it represent?CS Lewis and Owen Barfield discussed these things and, then, Barfield teased out differences between them after Lewis's death. He characterised that as the difference between an analytic and romantic rationality, which produces separate even oppositional understandings of God, Jesus, salvation, this world, the imagination, the human and the creation as a whole.I think that their “oppositional friendship” might illuminate our now, which I try to tease out in this talk.Recorded in St Mary Magdalene church, Stapleford Park0:00 The revival now and the differences between Lewis and Barfield4:25 The Christian story as chasm or participation8:08 Salvation or participation?11:20 Exclusive Christianity or porous Christianity?13:45 The role of reason and the imagination17:11 Following the head or the heart?21:21 Analytical and Romantic, allegorical and mythological approaches to truth27:39 The appeal of Lewis, simplicity and joy32:02 Polarities, oppositions and Trinitarian perception35:40 Different experiences of time, culture wars and choice39:02 What of the future of Christianity?
Empires are one of the most common forms of political structure in history—yet no empire is alike. We have our “standard” view of empire: perhaps the Romans, or the China of the Qin and Han Dynasties—vast polities that cover numerous different people, knit together by strong institutions from a political center. But where do, say, the empires of the steppe, like the Xiongnu or the Mongols, fit into our understanding of empire? Or the Portuguese empire, which got its start as an array of ports and forts in South and Southeast Asia? Or the Manchus, who waltzed into a collapsing Ming China and rapidly re-established its governing structures–with themselves at the head? These are just a handful of what Thomas Barfield calls exogenous, or “shadow” empires, which grow on the frontiers of larger, wealth-growing polities, in his most recent book Shadow Empires: An Alternative Imperial History (Princeton University Press, 2023). Shadow empires cannot exist without their hosts, extracting wealth from them—and yet, the most successful of them grow to become wealth creators in their own right, becoming what Barfield terms “endogenous empires.” In this interview, Thomas and I talk about empires—both the commonly-accepted kind and their shadow variants—and how we can differentiate between the many different kinds of empire throughout history. Thomas Barfield is professor of anthropology at Boston University. His books include Afghanistan: A Cultural and Political History (Princeton University Press: 2010) and The Perilous Frontier: Nomadic Empires and China, 221 BC to AD 1757 (Wiley-Blackwell: 1992).

In this episode, Adam and Budi kick of the first book club episode of the year with The Dutchman, by Amiri Baraka. We welcome Taylor Barfield to the discussion, as he joins Budi and Adam in dissecting this classic. Poet, writer, teacher, and political activist Amiri Baraka was born Everett LeRoi Jones in 1934 in Newark, New Jersey. He attended Rutgers University and Howard University, spent three years in the U.S. Air Force, and returned to New York City to attend Columbia University and the New School for Social Research. Baraka was well known for his strident social criticism, often writing in an incendiary style that made it difficult for some audiences and critics to respond with objectivity to his works. Throughout most of his career his method in poetry, drama, fiction, and essays was confrontational, calculated to shock and awaken audiences to the political concerns of black Americans. For decades, Baraka was one of the most prominent voices in the world of American literature.Baraka's legacy as a major poet of the second half of the 20th century remains matched by his importance as a cultural and political leader. His influence on younger writers has been significant and widespread, and as a leader of the Black Arts movement of the 1960s Baraka did much to define and support black literature's mission into the next century. His experimental fiction of the 1960s is considered some of the most significant African-American fiction since that of Jean Toomer.________________________________________________________________________________________________Taylor Barfield is a dramaturg, writer, and theater artist from Baltimore, MD.

From C.S. Lewis's childhood wardrobe, to Tolkien's desk, to countless unpublished letters and manuscripts, The Marion E. Wade Center is full of many wonderful things. To celebrate the January 2024 launch of our new "Wonders of the Wade" video series on YouTube, Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing, along with Producer Aaron Hill, sit down with Chloe DuBois and Elise Peterson, two student workers at the Wade, to discuss some of our most amazing finds and wonderful discoveries.
On November 2, 1984, fifty-two-year-old Velma Barfield was executed by lethal injection at North Carolina's Central Prison, bringing an end to years of legal appeals and emotional debates over the death penalty and how, when, and to whom it gets applied. For six years, Barfield had sat on death row following her conviction for the poisoning murder of her boyfriend Stewart Taylor in 1976; however, during her trial she confessed to killing at least four other people.Velma Barfield's trial came at a time in the United States when Americans were just beginning to grapple with the concept of a serial killer, and the idea that a woman could commit such heinous acts seemed entirely inconceivable. Although woman had been sentenced to death for murder before in the US, none had confessed to methodically killing multiple people in such a callous way and for such a trivial reason. The debate only became more complicated following her death sentence, an already complicated subject among Americans that became exponentially so in 1984, when Barfield's case and personal story became a major talking point for politicians running for office around the state.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for Research!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1984.

He also didn't want to disappoint his girlfriend, 45-year-old Velma Barfield, by leaving, so he decided to go out to the truck to lie down for a while. When the revival ended, Velma returned to the truck and drove them home. She had to stop the vehicle at least once for Stuart to throw up on the side of the road. Assuming he had one of the many strains of influenza, Stuart asked a friend to care for his pigs “just until I get over this flu.” Stuart never got over the flu. He died two days later.Stuart had not died of natural causes. He'd been murdered by his sweet, unassuming girlfriend, Velma Barfield.Join Cam and Jen as they discuss "Bye Bye Velma: Death Row Granny".Thank you to our team:Written and researched by Lauretta AllenListener Discretion by Edward October from OctoberpodVHS https://www.youtube.com/c/octoberpodhomevideoExecutive Producer Nico Vitesse of https://theinkypawprint.comSources:https://www.amazon.com/Death-Sentence-Barfields-Crimes-Punishment-ebook/dp/B07W1PVKHXhttps://www.youtube.com/watchv=qDS_Pijlzx0&ab_channel=TheCrimeReelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXHn2dqhLzM&ab_channel=FilmRiseTrueCrimehttps://www.youtube.com/watchv=ofdGA8yudqU&ab_channel=DeathRowExecutionshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velma_Barfieldhttps://exhibits.lib.unc.edu/exhibits/show/capital-punishment/biographies/barfieldhttps://murderpedia.org/female.B/b/barfield-velma.htm (your one-stop info dump on Velma)https://www.newspapers.com/image/401327868/?terms=Velma%20Barfield&match=1https://www.newspapers.com/image/494467203/https://www.newspapers.com/image/569891081/?terms=Velma%20Barfield&match=1https://www.newspapers.com/image/705107544/?terms=Velma%20Barfield&match=1https://www.newspapers.com/image/624508368/?terms=Velma%20Barfield&match=1https://www.newspapers.com/image/974782410/?terms=Velma%20Barfield&match=1https://www.newspapers.com/image/336246618/?terms=Velma%20Barfield&match=1https://www.newspapers.com/image/654819433/?terms=Velma%20Barfield&match=1https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6786695/velma-barfieldhttps://exhibits.lib.unc.edu/exhibits/show/capital-punishment/biographies/barfield?fbclid=IwAR0YVx6zQ3G2es76SAetRKpOKosoo8AInhv7hKJutaUEGdZ6jHltvJasj0UThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3647242/advertisement

During our time with Dr. Barfield, we'll explore the report's insights, discuss the importance of addressing mistreatment during pregnancy and delivery, and learn how the Hear Her campaign is working to improve communication between healthcare providers and pregnant and postpartum patients.
