A key structural shift identified is the growing governance gap created by AI agents that evade traditional detection and accountability measures. This challenge is exemplified by Meta's Muse and OpenAI agents, which do not self-identify during interactions. As a result, determining agent activity and risk now depends on disclosures by the developer rather than the asset owner or operator, limiting the visibility and control of MSPs and IT service providers.One consequential incident involved an OpenAI agent accessing both public and non-public files in the Australian government's health portal. The breach went unnoticed by government security for 54 days and was discovered during an internal OpenAI review, later reported voluntarily by the company. In retail, Amazon blocked Meta's Muse agent from its platform after it failed to identify itself and due to concerns about credential handling, according to statements cited by GeekWire. These events illustrate growing dependency on agent developers for incident discovery and disclosure.Supporting developments include findings from Akros Labs that current rules are insufficient to distinguish customers, attackers, or bots, due to agents blending in as typical browsers. VentureBeat surveys show a decline in proactive agent isolation and a rise in uncontained incidents, indicating operational drift toward default-permissive security settings. While new standards from NIST for short-lived tokens and upcoming agent identification protocols are developing, enforcement and utility remain incomplete.For MSPs and IT leaders, the immediate implication is the need to revisit client-specific controls. Default reliance on legacy bot rules increases undetected risk, while inaction effectively shifts governance to external agent vendors. Providers must decide whether to block all unauthenticated agent traffic—accepting potential business impact—or allow agents and rely on token expiration and allow-listing signed agents as standards evolve. Continuous monitoring and regular adjustment of controls are necessary to minimize harm when agent anonymity and developer-only surveillance persist.00:00 The Agent That Looks Like Chrome 04:41 Only The Maker Is Watching07:02 The Default Nobody Chose10:07 Why Do We Care?Supported by: Proofpoint GoTo(LogMeIn) NinjaOne On-Demand Webinar: https://go.businessof.tech/p/ninjaone-pod

The Padres kick off their postseason journey tonight at 7:00 in Game 1 of their best of three Wild Card series against the Chicago Cubs. Governor Newsom has announced that he's releasing the winter blend of gasoline ahead of schedule to try and stem rising prices.

In today's episode #72 of The Nourishment Mindset podcast, we welcome listener, gardener, renovator, health enthusiast and working Mom/wife extraordinaire, Meghan Robidoux. Meghan graciously shares her health philosophy and story of healing from Lyme disease. And offers some great tips for balancing a full life: she intentionally frames her day around “the one big thing” and no longer uses the word busy to reflect her intention. For Meghan it's all about repetition of select rituals — for example, dedicated family breakfasts, 5 minute piano practices, and the importance of her first and last thoughts of the day. I first met Meghan nearly 20 years ago. We had just moved to the Pacific Northwest for Patrick's finance job, where he worked with Meghan and her now husband, Jayson. My first impression was, this woman radiates great, calm, content energy — hers is a magnetic vibe and I want to know her.Over the years we've all changed jobs, moved multiple times, started families and enjoyed RV adventures. I've watched the Robidoux buy, remodel and sell some great homes. And when I say remodel, picture Meghan with some serious demo equipment in hand. This woman does it all! AND their kids are a delight to be around: Meghan and Jayson are raising them with strong values, sound faith, great nutrition and lots of love and outdoor adventure. You can take ‘em anywhere, and we did recently while sharing time in France: from waterpark to winery; restaurant to antique theater; and Med boat trip to a rough return home to a power outage, there were a total of zero issues. That's a big deal with one family, let alone when two families are sharing but one toilette française!I had the idea to invite Meghan on the show after the most recent avocado oil scandale surfaced because she has a legit, easy and delicious homemade mayo recipe. (Well, to be honest I had the idea to ask for her recipe and Patrick suggested I interview her.) For the record, recently UC Davis authenticity tested 54 avocado oil “only” containing products and found that 48 failed. That's 88% (not the 93% I incorrectly stated during the show, oops)! And includes the mayo brands I've been touting, buying and serving. Yet another story of Big Food substituting cheaper ingredients — in this case inflammatory seed oils, and lying on the label. Disgusting and maddening, yet not at all surprising. Chez Huey is therefore going back to homemade. And you can, too, starting with Meg's fine One Minute Mayo recipe below. But first, here she is with her radiant, fabulous family: FINE RECIPE- Meg's One Minute Homemade Avocado Oil MayoIngredients1 cup avocado oil1 large egg1 tb mustard1 tb white vinegar1 tsp saltfreshly ground pepper to tasteStepsYou'll need a pint sized (or slightly larger) wide-mouth Mason jar and an immersion blender. Ensure the blender fits comfortably through the opening and leave a little room at the top for blending.Add all ingredients into the Mason jar.Place the immersion blender all the way to the bottom of the jar. Blend keeping the blender near the bottom at first. As the mixture turns thick and creamy, slowly move the blender upward to incorporate the remaining oil.Cap the jar and refrigerate. Use the mayo within two weeks.In Meghan's words: “One jar. No mess. No mystery ingredients.”A SPECIAL NOTE- Southwest Florida readersThis spring, Patrick and I were asked to consider starring in a two-person comedy with multiple roles each. My first reaction despite my ultimate respect for Frank, the director/co-writer was um, no - way too much work for this working baseball mom and wife. (I performed in a play in 2024, loved it and it completely took over my life.) I emailed Frank back with some show stopping stipulations and to my surprise, he accommodated. Oops! This meant I should at least read the script… well, I/we did and ideas started to percolate. Fast forward to today and we open in Chameleüns this Friday, October 2 on Marco Island at the Arts Center Theater for a weekend workshop with three performances. Here are relevant links below:Buy tickets - thank you for your support!Gulf Coast Life podcast - on air with the co-writers to give the backstory and moreCoastal Breeze article show websiteChameleüns is a comedic love story about how people change within relationships. I primarily play a psychotherapist and Patrick is a collection of my patients. He's additionally a haiku writing snob while I'm an aspiring country music singer (yes, I/we have to sing). And we also dabble in infommerical religion sales. FINE READ-I just finished Dr. Leland Stillman's The End of Autoimmunity and it's fantastic! Here's my review. I have been listening to Dr. Stillman's podcast for over a year now and I truly appreciate his deep dive for the root causes of dis-ease, his courage in challenging the dogma and status quo, integrity and faith. If you have any ongoing health challenges — perhaps despite “normal labs,” considering booking an introductory call with his practice. Do note that like most concierge practices, they do not accept insurance. And as always, I remain 100% independent and discuss and promote only what I believe in; I never take any refferal or other promotional fees.FINE FIND-One of my very favorite kitchen counter items is my Butter Bell. If you don't yet have one of these, it's time to man or woman-up! For about $30 you can always have creamy, spreadable, nutrient-rich butter on your counter. As a reminder, butter is a wonderful source of critical fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, as well as arachidonic acid, which is important for cognitive function, mood regulation, energy balance, muscle growth, wound healing and immune function. My minimum butter consumption is 1 tablespoon a day. If this seems like heresy to you, perhaps you're a new reader.

Mabon season is upon us! The autumn equinox offers us the opportunity to explore many themes; such as, gratitude, transition, and letting go. This is also a time to reflect on the balance or lack of balance in our lives. It's a chance to dance with the light and shadow within. As we welcome the day on this dark and chilly morning, consider the spaces in your life that need a little more balance and light. Nature shows us the way if only we take the time to see its wisdom. Support the Show & Stay Connected

My first coaching session almost made me quit. I was sitting in my laundry room on a landline doing a practice session as part of my coaching certification. Forty-five minutes in, the woman just goes off on me. "Colin, you are pissing me off." I walked out and told my wife, "I don't know if this is for me." Now, over 17 years later, I've done over 4,500 hours of paid coaching at $3,800/hour. I keynoted at the American Institute of Hypnotherapy and Neurolinguistic Programming. And this week, I've got 55+ people flying in from around the world to spend three days with me. In this episode of The Expert Edge, I break down the exact three skills that transformed my coaching from "I'm pissing people off" to commanding premium rates and creating real breakthroughs with high-level clients. This isn't about being nice. It's about being transformational. What you'll learn: → Master powerful questions - Why asking the right questions creates breakthroughs (not giving advice first) → Use reframes to shift perspective - Stories, metaphors, and the feel-felt-found structure that changes how clients see their situation → Blend all three together - Questions + reframes + advice = transformational results → The difference between okay coaching and premium coaching → How to hold space for new possibility in your clients → Why awareness creates breakthroughs (not information) → Real questions that work with high-level clients → The metaphor approach (airplane in liftoff example) → How to give advice without being prescriptive Real insights from the episode: My first coaching disaster in the laundry room (and what it taught me) Why that experience was actually the best thing that happened to my coaching The mentor who saved my coaching career with one question How I went from free coaching to $125/hour to $3,800/hour Why questions create awareness and awareness creates breakthroughs "For what purpose are you choosing to be angry?" - The question that reframes everything "When did you create that belief?" - Getting people to take responsibility for their own beliefs "Who taught you that?" - Tracing beliefs back to the source The airplane metaphor - Why liftoff is supposed to be hard The feel-felt-found structure - How to pace, lead, and reframe in one move Why the best coaching is a blend of asking, showing, and telling How versatility and behavioral flexibility separates transformational coaches from transactional ones Premium Private Client Masterclass: I'm hosting a live masterclass on building premium private clients-everything from positioning and messaging to structuring your offers and attracting the right clients.

Hi, my friends, I'm kicking off season three with my first-ever TikTok Live video while I made a no-fail GAZPACHO, though this link brings you to my YouTube pageThe episode is hysterical. At just less than two minutes in, I accepted unexpected guests to join in on the video while I continued to reiterate the importance of mindfulness to shop and cook with the intention to eliminate food packaging waste. If you care about zero-waste cooking and mindful eating, this one is a slam dunk. while also introducing my next activist undertaking with the working title, The Refill Revolution.Gazpacho has to be one of the most versatile, flexible recipes there is. If you have access to a Vitamix-type blender, Rock on. I made mine in a mini food processor, which I emulsion blended the oil into as the last procedure before serving it. I'm sharing a very basic recipe here, but like the title of my memoir, Make It On Your Own Ingredients1 Cucumber - Often an English or hothouse cuc is called for. I use a regular cucumber - not wrapped in plastic - cut into chunks 3 or 4 ripe Tomatoes - D-seeded cut into chunks Pepper - Most American recipes call for red pepper, a fresno, or a jalapeno. I use a Cabanelle pepper often called for in Spanish recipes.  The Anaheim pepper is the closest if you can't find a Cabanelle pepper - stemmed and seeded  Most recipes call for ¼ small red onion. I use 2 scallions in the mix. outer layers tossed. Roughly chopped the fine white and green center. 2 garlic cloves - Peel and roughly chop * 1 C Tomato or vegetable juice¼ cup Cilantro or Basil3 tablespoons sherry or red wine vinegar1/4 - 1/2C   olive oil - for emoulsification & drizzled as garnish. Good pinch of sea salt & freshly ground black pepperTO DOIn a blender or food processor, add the chopped cucumber, half of the tomatoes, whatever pepper you chose, stemmed & seeded, scallions and blend.  Add the rest of the tomatoes, garlic, basil, and I added about a cup of vegetable juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoningsChill for 3 to 4 hours or overnightI garnished with a drizzle of olive oil and scallions or use any of the veg that you have. I'm so curious what ingredients you pick and choose to work with. Please let me know. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I do. MINDFUL MEALS & SUSTAINABLE LIVING - The Art of Living an Elevated Lifestyle

Barrell Bourbon Cigar Blend is a limited-release, cask-strength straight bourbon whiskey that contains distillate from Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana that is finished in four different casks. Released in March 2026, this highly acclaimed expression is explicitly layered and built to stand up alongside a premium cigar, though it is engineered to be equally compelling on its own. The retail price is $84.99. In this episode, we taste and review this blended bourbon and compare it to another "cigar" blend whiskey. The guys also talk about recent bourbon experiences, tonsillectomies, and a host of other topics. Should you be chasing this new offering from Barrell? We'll give you our honest take. --------------------------SocialsIG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupkyFB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupkyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupkyJoin our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcastPartnership(s)Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUPMusic: All the Fixings by Zachariah HickmanThank you so much for listening!

Original Air Date: 09/19/26 Episode Number: 477Episode SummaryThis week on Home In Progress, Dan covers paint store tools you've probably walked past without a second look, and explains why each one is worth having. They include FrogTape (green and yellow), the painter's five-in-one tool, a brush comb, the Handy Paint Pail, the Wooster Pelican Pail and the Wooster Sherlock system. Then he gets into ombre walls, a painted gradient where one color slowly melts into the next with no hard line between them. He explains what the look is, where it works and which direction the colors can run, then walks through the full process from choosing colors to blending wet paint. The episode wraps up with a fall list: jobs to get on the calendar now, plus a few fun things to do before the season gets away from us.Timestamps[00:00] -- Show Preview [01:09] -- FrogTape Clean Lines [03:28] -- Yellow FrogTape Delicate [04:29] -- Five In One Tool [05:28] -- Brush Comb Care [06:15] -- Handy Paint Pail [07:24] -- Pelican Pail Combo [08:28] -- Wooster Sherlock System [09:32] -- Ombre Walls Explained [10:02] -- Color Capping Context [10:59] -- What Ombre Means [15:20] -- Where Ombre Works [16:29] -- Ombre Direction Choices [18:50] -- How To Paint Ombre [19:27] -- Ombre Recap Practical [20:43] -- Ombre Wall Basics [21:36] -- Choose Three Colors [23:20] -- Prep and Base Coat [24:04] -- Map the Color Zones [25:23] -- Blend Like a Pro [28:55] -- Corners Tape and Edges [29:57] -- Practice and Dry Time [33:14] -- Fall Checklist Begins [33:51] -- Chimneys Apples Gutters [35:21] -- Trips and Winter Prep [37:20] -- Historic Homes and Furnace [38:36] -- Last Fall Fun and WrapPaint Tools You've Walked Past [01:09]Some of the most useful things in a paint store don't look like much on the shelf. Once you know what they do, painting gets a lot easier.Green FrogTape. FrogTape has PaintBlock Technology along its edges. When latex paint touches that edge, the water in the paint makes it react and form a tiny barrier, so paint doesn't creep under the tape. You still need a clean surface, a firmly pressed edge and a light hand with the paint, but the lines come out much sharper. Through the end of September, RepcoLite has 1.5-inch green FrogTape 3-packs for $12.99, which works out to about $4.33 a roll.Yellow FrogTape [03:28]. This is the same clean-line technology in a delicate surface tape. It's made for freshly painted surfaces that have dried, and for wallpaper. Regular tape on those surfaces can pull paint or damage the paper when it comes off.Five-in-one and seven-in-one tools [04:29]. They look like oddly shaped putty knives, but each part has a job. The flat blade scrapes and spreads patching compound. The pointed corner digs out and opens up cracks before you patch them. The half-moon curve squeezes paint out of a roller cover while you wash it. Some versions also open paint cans or have a flip-out screwdriver.Brush comb [05:28]. This is a small steel comb you run through the bristles while cleaning a brush. It separates the bristles so water gets deeper in, and it pulls out paint that has built up near the ferrule. That buildup slowly ruins a good brush. A comb costs very little and adds years to a brush.Handy Paint Pail and Handy Paint Cup [06:15]. Both are hand-held containers for cutting in. A magnet on the side holds your brush, so it doesn't sink into the paint when you need a free hand. They clean up and can be reused.Wooster Pelican Pail [07:24]. It's a similar idea with a brush magnet, plus an angled roll-off area for mini rollers up to about 4.5 inches. You can cut in, stick the brush to the magnet, roll a section and go back to the brush, all from one pail. Liners are available.Wooster Sherlock System [08:28]. These roller frames and extension poles lock together. You don't thread anything, and nothing spins loose while you work. You can swap frame sizes and change pole length in a few seconds.Ombre Walls: What They Are and Where They Work [09:32]A couple weeks back we talked about color capping, which uses two or three related colors with deliberate, visible transitions as you move up the room. Ombre (ombré) does the opposite. The colors blend into each other like a gradient, with no stripes or bands. On a well-done ombre wall, you can't point to the spot where one color stops and the next begins.You can use shades of one color, which is the easiest and most subtle option, or blend between different colors. Because the color keeps shifting as your eye moves across the wall, you get depth and movement that a single color can't give you. Soft, related colors feel calm. Bolder colors make it dramatic.Where it works [15:20]. The wall behind a bed, a dining room wall, one big living room wall, or a kid's room. Some versions online look like the night sky just after sunset. You can wrap a whole room in it, but blending across corners gets tricky, and Dan thinks one wall is usually plenty.Direction [16:29]. Dark at the bottom and light at the top is the most common choice. It puts visual weight down low and makes the ceiling feel lifted and airy. Flip it, with dark at the top, and you get a much more dramatic room. Look at examples online before you decide.How to Paint an Ombre Wall [18:50]No sprayer needed. Regular wall paint, rollers and brushes will do it. It takes more technique than rolling two coats, but most people can pull it off with a little practice.Choose three colors [21:36]. Pick a light, a medium and a dark. Start with color chips, then get Benjamin Moore color samples and try them on foam board or the wall. Blended colors can expose undertones you didn't expect. For a first try, pick colors a couple of steps apart on the same chip.Prep and base coat [23:20]. Fill holes, sand, clean the wall and tape off trim and neighboring walls. Paint the entire wall in the lightest color, top to bottom, and let it dry 3 to 4 hours.Map the zones [24:04]. Divide the wall roughly into three horizontal zones. Don't tape the zones off. Light pencil marks are fine if you want a reference.Roll the medium and dark colors. Put the medium color across the middle and the dark color along the bottom. The edges can be wavy, and this paint doesn't need to stay wet. You're just establishing the zones.Blend [25:23]. Put each color in its own container, like a Handy Paint Pail or Pelican Pail, with its own brush, and keep a few clean brushes for blending. Start where dark meets medium and work about 2 feet of wall at a time. Brush fresh dark paint in a 6 to 12 inch band along the top of the dark zone, then fresh medium paint right above it. While both are wet, use a clean brush to blend across the line with loose diagonal strokes, around 45 degrees. You're softening the line where the colors meet, not erasing either color. Move to the next 2 feet and blend it into the section you just finished. When that transition is done, repeat the process where medium meets light.Corners and edges [28:55]. Feathering right into a corner is fiddly. Tape the adjoining wall. If that wall has fresh paint on it, use yellow FrogTape so the tape doesn't pull the new paint off.Practice and dry time [29:57]. Practice on a scrap of drywall or foam board first. You'll learn how wet the paint needs to be, how much pressure to use on the brush and how wide you want the blend. Know when to stop. Once the paint starts to set up, more brushing just drags half-dry paint around and leaves marks that show every time sunlight hits the wall. If you can't blend fast enough, a little Floetrol extends the working time of latex paint. It isn't a cure-all, but it helps.Tried an ombre wall?

This is the redo of the live i did 9/8/26 With some amazing guests. Hope you enjoy if you were not there. Patreon.com/oftopicwhiskeyAndalusiawhiskey.comWhiskeydelbac.comHrdspirits.comAndalusia Whiskey Co produces fine handcrafted whiskeys in the Texas Hill Country - a scene reminiscent of the hills in the beautiful Andalucia, Spain. Each whiskey being “grain to glass,” we begin with a mash of the finest American grown malted grains. We then continue our production here in Blanco, Texas distilling each in our hand-crafted copper pot still. McCarthy's® OregonSingle Malt WhiskeyThe First American Single Malt. Blend old-world tradition with Oregon ingenuity and you get McCarthy's Oregon Single Malt Whiskey. Over 25 years ago, founder Steve McCarthy returned from a trip to Ireland determined to make his own single malt. Not only did he succeed, but in doing so ignited the craft American Single Malt Revolution. This is passion and craft, an Oregon original. It was one of those cool desert nights in 2006 where Elaine and Stephen Paul sat outside on their patio, barbecuing over a mesquite fire and enjoying a glass of Scotch. Elaine had an idea — “What if you made single malt whiskey with ‘mesquited' malt instead of peated malt?”‍Stephen couldn't shake the concept. After all, he knew mesquite well. He and Elaine owned a furniture design company that specialized in mesquite. Well-known for the flavor it imparts to food that is cooked over it, mesquite is a beautifully grained wood native to the desert Southwest.Stephen began learning everything he could about how the Scots make their whiskies. While learning how to floor-malt barley, he began with the recipe for Classic, modeled after the unpeated style of Speyside Scotches. If he could nail down a clean-finishing American Single Malt Whiskey that rivaled Scotland's finest, then he could take the recipe and put a Southwest spin on it — which is how our mesquited (not peated) Dorado was born.

On this episode of Talking Guitars on Johnny Beane TV, we take a look at a fascinating new guitar collaboration that brings together legendary guitar builder John Cruz, formerly of the Fender Custom Shop, and Chinese guitar brand Farida Guitars. Cruz has unveiled his first guitar design with Farida — the JC-1, a vintage-inspired S-style guitar that combines classic looks and tones with some interesting modern features. And there's a lot to talk about!

Although the family business is important, I've always felt that tea can calm the mind."Zh: 聊天间，两人无意间聊起了各自的梦想和困惑。En: During their conversation, they unwittingly started discussing their own dreams and dilemmas.Zh: Lina谈到她的写作瓶颈，Wei分享了他在家族生意和个人梦想之间的拉扯。En: Lina talked about her writer's block, and Wei shared his struggle between the family business and his personal dreams.Zh: 突然，那种交流带来的共鸣让Lina豁然开朗。En: Suddenly, the resonance from their exchange brought Lina a moment of clarity.Zh: 她发现，Wei的话语中也蕴藏着她一直寻找的灵感。那些传统与创新的碰撞正是她新小说的主题。En: She realized that the very collision between tradition and innovation that Wei spoke of was the theme she'd been searching for in her new novel.Zh: 而Wei，在听了Lina关于创造和艺术的见解后，心中也有了变化。En: And for Wei, after hearing Lina's insights on creation and art, he too experienced a shift.Zh: 他明白了，传统和梦想并不冲突，他可以在保留传统的同时加入自己的设计。En: He understood that tradition and dreams are not in conflict; he can retain the traditional while incorporating his own designs.Zh: 两人的心情如同窗外的阳光般明亮。En: Their moods brightened like the sunlight outside the window.Zh: Lina带着新的构思回家，迫不及待地开始写作。En: Lina left with new ideas, eager to begin writing.Zh: Wei带着新发现的自信，在茶店的设计上加入了更多个人的风格。En: Wei, carrying newfound confidence, incorporated more of his personal style into the tea shop's design.Zh: 几周后，Lina的小说完成了，关于一个在传统与创新间寻找平衡的故事。En: A few weeks later, Lina's novel was completed, telling a story about finding balance between tradition and innovation.Zh: 而茶店里，也因Wei的创新而焕然一新。En: Meanwhile, the tea shop was revitalized with Wei's innovations.Zh: 他们都意识到，人生的灵感与力量，常常来自于意想不到的邂逅和交流。En: They both realized that inspiration and strength in life often come from unexpected encounters and exchanges.Zh: 这样简单的交往，让他们都找到了前进的方向。En: Such simple interactions helped them find their directions forward.Zh: 在这个被称为“东方情人节”的节日，他们不仅收获了灵感，更接到了一份互相理解的友谊，为各自的梦想注入了新的动力。En: On this holiday known as the "Valentine's Day of the East," they gained more than inspiration; they forged a mutual understanding and friendship, injecting new motivation into their respective dreams.

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is LuvJonez.About LuvJonez: Portland, Oregon–based instrumental hip hop producer and beat maker whose work weaves a nostalgic, down-tempo blend of musical influences drawn from his cultural roots, extensive travels, and artistic experiences. Beyond music production, he founded and runs A Beat Happening, a free, monthly, all-ages, inclusive BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+-centered music producer and DJ showcase built to connect artists across the city.In our conversation, LuvJonez talks about how time on the East Coast, in the Pacific Northwest, and around Caribbean culture shaped a sound that doesn't sit neatly in one lane. He remembers going to beatmaker showcases in DC and New York before moving to Portland, watching producers just share their music with no ego and no competition — something that stuck with him long before he had any plans of his own.He talks about his approach to making beats as less about chasing a style and more about following a mood, using the process to decompress and work through his day. It's a "no style is my style" kind of thing, where the genre-blending isn't really a decision so much as a byproduct of everywhere he's lived and everything he's taken in along the way.He also gets into how A Beat Happening came together, noticing that rappers in Portland had plenty of platforms to perform, but producers and beat makers didn't really have anything built for them. The idea started small: approach a local record shop, no money involved, no tickets, just a chance for beat makers to get on stage.LuvJonez reflects on the show now reaching its nine-year anniversary, having hosted over eighty events and featured more than four hundred local Portland artists along the way. For the anniversary, he changed things up — rather than booking individual artists like usual, he invited other music collectives around the city to share one lineup. He talks about going into it unsure whether everyone would say yes, and how surprised he was when every single collective agreed, turning the night into a rare moment where the city's music community showed up for each other instead of competing.Be sure to follow LuvJonez on Instagram, Bandcamp, and YouTube to keep up with his music, and follow A Beat Happening on Instagram @abeathappening or at abeathappening.org for show archives, photos, and videos from over four hundred featured artists.Image courtesy of Subject.  The Truth In This Art is supported by William G.

When time is limited, make wise food plot decisions. Don't worry about what others are planting or chasing a trend. Plant a crop that gives you the best chance at high quality food over the course of many months. When you begin to allow in a diverse fall mixture for the annual clovers such a balansa, bereseem, and crimson clover to fully grow and cycle you realize that this food plot blend is more than a fall crop... its a 10 month+ crop. If you plant a blend with the right annual clovers added at the right density, you can achieve an extended life of food plot varieties, increased nitrogen fixation, and some quality weed suppression without needing to plant a summer crop. Just terminate the field and plant the same crop again. Food plotting is that easy.
