Water, as we all know can be quite dangerous. Things in the water looking for a meal. Obstacles under the water that could spell your undoing. But many people know little of the water itself. There is a pool in Oregon that has water so frigid, it causes conflicts in your nervous system. in todays episode, lets discuss that! Thank you for watching Roanoke Tales and I hope you enjoy This Blue Pool Will STOP Your Heart...Why? | Blue Pool Oregon

With waterfalls, hot springs and crystal-clear lakes, the scenery on the McKenzie River Trail is among the very best in Oregon. On this week's episode of the Peak Northwest podcast, we talk all about the 26.4-mile hiking trail, found in Oregon's central Cascade Mountains east of Eugene, and all there is to see along the way. Whether you're hoping to tackle the whole trail this summer or checking out the day hikes this fall, there's a lot to enjoy and appreciate about the trail. Here are some highlights from this week's show: Clear Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in Oregon. Two waterfalls are found on one short loop hike on the trail. Blue Pool is a popular destination for day hikers. Hot springs on the McKenzie River Trail are really hit or miss. Where can you stay on and near the trail? Learn more about your ad choices.

This week Martin & Steve are off on a Big Beery Adventure around the world as we talk about our fantasy worldwide crawl Beers | Lacada Brewing ‘Blue Pool’, ‘Devil’s Washtub’ & ‘Utopian’ Hopinions | Do you have a favourite beery city & where (in the world) is it?   Many thanks to Stephen O’Kane for […]

Welcome to this weeks Episode, where we take a trip to Dorset, and stay in a campsite near Weymouth. We visit the Blue Pool near Wareham, a beautiful pool naturally filled from a man made clay pit. We also head down the Rodwell Trail, a great disused railway that has been surfaced and is suitable for walking, cycling and pushchairs.

My guest for today's podcast is Danny Lee who is a Partner at Blue Pool Capital, one of the most highly regarded investment firms in the business.  As a private equity investor, Danny has seen and experienced it all, building an awesome career that many of us would be envious about.   Danny talks about his early days after moving to New York from China at the age of 13, attending Brooklyn Tech, a highly competitive magnet high school and his decision to attend Columbia College.  We then turn to his formative years at Lehman Brothers in investment banking before his move to Hong Kong and eventual jump to private equity where he has spent the past 20+ years working for top firms including Investor AB, Bain Capital and now Blue Pool Capital.   I enjoyed this conversation not only because Danny is a friend and an accomplished investor, but also because Danny's story has come full circle from being a beneficiary of a major scholarship while at Columbia to endowing his own scholarship at Columbia 30 years later.  Note to audience, although you may not be able to hear it on the podcast, I think “the tear” may have made its first appearance on the podcast!  Without further ado, here is my conversation with Danny Lee.

My friend is the self-appointed weather god. Which is great because she is my swim friend. In actual fact, she is my swim sister. Swim friends have the habit of quickly ingratiating themselves and suddenly becoming family. That’s who Denz is for me – my swim sister and the Swim Wild podcast episode 3 guest. And thank god she is the weather god. We swim together fairly regularly. And I want the weather I want. I want calm seas. Or a thin layer of ice. Or a foot of snow on the ground. Or a fine day so we can complete our 10km hike in the dry to the lake where we will jump in and get wet. Swim friends are a particular brand of friend. There is more laughing somehow. And definitely more cake. There are trips away. Shared events. Communal flashing as we struggle to get dressed at the side of a road in Cheshire. In episode 3, Denz talks about camaraderie being the main motivating factor for doing anything swimming related. It’s the trip and the company and the craic she goes along for. Not the event, the distance, the hat, the medal or the t-shirt. In fact, she doesn’t even need to do the swim. Last weekend Denz came to Wales with me, to provide much needed moral support when I got cold feet about the Aberdovey swim. She came to registration and enquired about any available spaces. At that time there weren’t any, and she looked elated! At 10am when a space had been allocated to her, she looked significantly less enthusiastic! This is the friend who did a swim just to support me. This is the friend who, in her interview, tells me I don’t hold myself in high enough esteem. This is the friend who said my swim was a good effort. It’s such a privilege to have friends like that – who just come out and say and do stuff designed solely to make me feel better about myself. That’s a swimming friend. My swimming friends are only competitive with themselves. They don’t care if their fellow swimmers wear wetsuits or skins. They don’t look down on you for wearing neoprene gloves and feet. They don’t care if you dip for 30 seconds or 30 minutes. They just celebrate it all with you. With cake. One of the most important things I’ve gained through wild swimming has been the friendship of other wild swimmers. I hope you enjoy this episode. It’s two friends drinking wine, laughing and chatting. And if anyone knows why Denz can see the capillaries in her retinas when she is swimming, let us know!

The Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble gives two world premiere performances of James Miley’s newest work “Watershed Suite.” This six-movement piece is inspired by distinctive bodies of water in the Oregon landscape, from the Tamolitch Pool to Oaks Bottom, capturing the spirit of each through music. James Miley joins PJCE Executive Director Douglas Detrick for a conversation about the piece taped at Sellwood Riverside Park, on the banks of the Willamette River. Learn more at pjce.org/watershed. Episode Transcript [Doug] Welcome to Beyond Category. I’m Douglas Detrick. The Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble gives two world premiere performances of James Miley’s newest work “Watershed Suite.” This six-movement piece is inspired by distinctive bodies of water in the Oregon landscape, from the Tamolitch Pool to Oaks Bottom, capturing the spirit of each through music. Head to pjce.org/watershed to learn more about this new piece and the performances in August, 2018. And stay tuned for the release of Trio Untold, with James Miley on piano and keyboards, Mike Nord guitar and electronics, and Ryan Biesack on drums. It’s the thirty-third release on PJCE Records, and it drops this September. Here’s the episode. [ambient tape: “I hear water”] ? [James] This is James Miley, I’m a composer/pianist. [Doug] Meeting near a waterway seemed appropriate. We are down along the Willamette River, this is Sellwood Riverfront Park. We’re looking at the Sellwood Bridge, listening to waves from a really noisy boat that just went by a little while ago. I’m doing two projects with PJCE this summer. First is a trio recording that’s going to be out in September with Mike Nord and Ryan Biesack, and that’s called Trio Untold. It’s all freely improvised music in the moment. And the second is a new piece for the ensemble and that’s called the Watershed Suite. Each section is inspired by a waterway here in Oregon. And I’m using watershed, the term, fairly loosely. I settled on it mostly because of the connection to the idea of a drainage basin, a large area that a river gives identity to. And, the concept of shedding, as musicians. [Doug] This is a bit of a musician’s joke. If you hear a musician say they need to “shed” a particular piece of music, that means they need to practice it. Shed is short for woodshed, which is where a musician would go, as the story goes, to practice away from an audience. [James] I wanted to write a piece about the Tamolitch Pool, the Blue Pool, down near Eugene up off the McKenzie River. Which is an extraordinary place. If you haven’t gone, you need to check it out. It’s a spot where the river goes under ground then bubbles up in this intensely deep blue color that doesn’t seem real at all. I wasn’t prepared when I saw it. I thought “oh it’ll be some water, and it’s blue, and it will be pretty” but it’s really really wild. It’s, I don’t know, thiry-ish feet deep, and you can see all the way down to the bottom, just a really deep, kind of intelligent kind of blue. I had all these sketches, all these ideas, and I just couldn’t come up with the thing that was working for me to elicit some sense of that place and how it makes me feel. In the process of doing this, we were editing the trio disc and all of this improvise music that we just kind of made up in the moment, and there’s a piece on there that  really speaks to this place. So I went back into that and used that material to write a new large ensemble piece. Static is not the right word. It feels very serene. All the way through it feels like it’s got this flat sheen, there’s a feeling that you’re looking at something very deep but it never burbles to the surface. Which made me think of that pool, where you stand and you look at it and if you jumped in you wouldn’t be able to swim to the bottom of it. It looks closer than it is, but nothing is quite what it seems. The water is the connecting point but each one has a specific kind of sensibility to it. What I’ve always loved about Oaks Bottom is that you can get lost in there in a way after this crazy day in a big city. You can find yourself on a path in the middle of these wetlands, staring at a great blue heron, and then realize I’m sitting in the middle of this amazing place and I’m ten minutes from home. So, it’s the most urban of the settings, yet it has these qualities that it can transport you to a different place. [Doug] Finding inspiration in bodies of water is fitting for James Miley’s music. He crafts melodies with an amazing rhythmic lightness. The music dynamic and dazzling on the surface, but there’s always movement and depth underpinning it. He holds a doctorate in music from the University of Oregon, and currently is Assistant Professor of Music at Willamette University in Salem. He was born in California, but his studies and creative pursuits have taken him to Nevada, Virginia, Michigan, Arizona, Texas and abroad to Hong Kong and Kathmandu. He’s a master of composing for jazz ensemble, and that comes from a huge range of experience, including professional jazz bands, classical ensembles, and years spent teaching jazz in colleges and high schools all over the country. So it means something when he says about Portland and the Montavilla Jazz Festival that... [James] There’s more talent here per capita than any other place that I’ve lived. Even in Los Angeles, there are amazing musicians but there’s also ten million people and you drive two and a half hours between gigs. I think an opportunity to showcase what we have here and connect with the community on a grass roots level is fantastic. [Doug] If you’re in Eugene, come hear the ensemble play “Watershed Suite” at Roaring Rapids on Thursday, August 16th at 7 pm, free admission! If you’re in Portland, we play Saturday, August 18th at 5:30 at the Montavilla Jazz Festival. Go to pjce.org/watershed to get reserved or VIP stageside tickets.
