It's a big early win for offensive coordinator Chad Morris and running backs coach CJ Spiller. Hailing from Fairburn, Ga., Walker measures up at 6-0, 200 pounds, and is a consensus four-star prospect out of Creekside High School. He is committed to join Clemson and Dabo Swinney for the 2027 season, when expected starter Gideon Davidson will be a junior and recent transfer Chris Johnson Jr. will be a senior. Longtime sports journalists Daniel Shirley and Bill Zimmerman have analysis of Walker's game, his importance in the program, the impact he can have on this recruiting class for Dabo Swinney, and much more. #clemsonrecruiting #clemsonfootball #daboswinney #garywalker #footballrecruiting We're glad you found us -- y'all be sure to share your reactions in the comments (keep it family-friendly for the young fans), and find us on social media @ClemsonKickoff!

Patreon is how modern, independent musicians survive and thrive. Album Pins and CDs help get me on the road and in front of live audiences, but my day-to-day livelihood—the time it takes to write, record, podcast, film, and share—comes directly from Patrons of the Arts. As we continue into a new year, Patreon is where everything comes together. Patrons receive a brand-new song download every month. These are exclusive tracks you won't find anywhere else—works in progress, experiments, and finished songs that come straight from my creative desk to you. You'll also get regular updates when there's news to share, behind-the-scenes blogs, short and long-form videos, and access to a growing archive of bootleg concert recordings and special performances. You can join for as little as $5 a month. That small commitment adds up to real stability. It buys time to write songs. It funds recording and production. It keeps the creative engine running without chasing algorithms or trends. And if supporting financially isn't possible right now, that's okay. You can still join Patreon for free and receive regular updates, thoughts, and stories as they happen. Being part of the community matters, whether you're pledging or simply listening along. Patreon isn't just support—it's collaboration. It's how these songs, podcasts, and ideas exist at all. If you'd like more details, just email follow@celtfather.

Before we go, a quick reminder: caring about Celtic culture also means caring about the land that shaped it. The songs we love were born from fields, coasts, forests, and villages that depend on a healthy planet. Climate action doesn't have to be loud or perfect. It starts small. Walk when you can. Choose renewable energy if it's available to you. Support artists, farmers, and local businesses who care about the earth. Reduce waste. Reuse what you can. Leave a place better than you found it. When we protect the land, we protect the music, the stories, and the generations yet to sing them. Join the Spring Celtic Challenge! Sláinte—and thank you for listening.

What does resilience look like when the market turns against you?In Episode 78 of the BreakLine Arena, Team BreakLine's own, Natalia Peddycoart, sits down with Jackson Fairburn, a former U.S. Army AH-64 Apache pilot, company commander, and now Mission Success Lead at Swarm Aero, to unpack his journey from nine years of military service into a volatile 2022 tech hiring market.Jackson shares how he translated high-stakes aviation leadership into civilian impact, landed a solutions engineering role at Evolv Technology during a downturn, earned rapid promotions, and ultimately returned to aviation-focused innovation by staying open to unexpected opportunity.This conversation is about more than transition.It's about reinvention.Reassessing priorities as life evolves.Trusting the process when outcomes feel uncertain.And adopting a mindset Jackson calls: “Be Open to Yes.”Whether you're navigating a pivot, leading through ambiguity, or searching for true mission fit, this episode offers a grounded, tactical look at resilience in action.If you're a visionary founder or a purpose-driven top performer building the future with clarity, community, and access to the most ambitious companies in America, join us!Learn more about our Effects-Based Hiring approach here: partners.breakline.org

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for December 3rd Publish Date: December 3rd Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Wednesday, December 3rd and Happy Birthday to Andy Williams I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Four Cobb schools earn STEAM/STEM certifications Meet Michael McNeely, Mableton’s newest councilman Gas prices dip following Thanksgiving, predicted to stay down through holidays All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: INGLES 3 STORY 1: Four Cobb schools earn STEAM/STEM certifications Cobb Schools are buzzing with opportunities for students to dive into STEM and STEAM—science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. And now, four more schools have joined the ranks of those earning certifications in these fields. South Cobb Early Learning Center and Ford Elementary snagged STEAM certifications, while Betty Gray Middle and Walton High earned STEM honors. “It’s been a joyful, messy journey,” said Marilyn Thomas, director of South Cobb Early Learning Center. “Our kids, teachers, and families all came together—building, experimenting, creating art. It’s hands-on learning at its best.” With over 50 certified schools, Cobb’s commitment to innovation is clear. Just ask the students at Tritt Elementary, who recently celebrated Girl-Powered Robotics Day. STORY 2: Meet Michael McNeely, Mableton’s newest councilman Michael McNeely, newly elected to Mableton’s City Council, is all about service—clear, honest, and hands-on. “I’d rather over-communicate than leave people guessing,” he says. McNeely, who moved to Mableton in 2019, has a long history of giving back. From his days as an Eagle Scout to serving in the Army National Guard and working in public safety for over two decades, he’s built a life around helping others. “It’s in my blood,” he says. Now, as District 2’s councilman, he’s focused on smart redevelopment, public safety, and creating spaces that bring the community together. Think parks, sidewalks, and maybe even a new community center. “We’ve got work to do,” McNeely says, “but Mableton’s got the people and the heart to make it happen.” STORY 3: Gas prices dip following Thanksgiving, predicted to stay down through holidays Georgia drivers are catching a break at the pump—finally. After the Thanksgiving travel rush, gas prices have dipped, with the state average sitting at $2.82 per gallon as of Monday, according to AAA. That’s about $42 to fill up a 15-gallon tank. Prices are 5 cents lower than last week but still 2 cents higher than last month. And if you’re in Cobb County? You’re paying a bit more—$2.89 per gallon. The priciest spots? Savannah ($2.88), Atlanta ($2.86), and Macon ($2.85). Meanwhile, Dalton drivers are smiling at $2.68. Nationally, gas has dropped to $3, the lowest since May 2021, thanks to low crude oil prices and sluggish demand. AAA predicts prices could stay low through the holidays. For EV drivers, no changes—public charging still averages 38 cents per kilowatt hour. Want to save? AAA suggests fuel rewards programs, paying cash (some stations charge more for credit), and driving smarter. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 3 STORY 4: Cobb fraternal organization recognized as best in Georgia The Omicron Mu Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, better known as the Cobb County Alphas, just snagged a huge honor—Alumni Chapter of the Year—at the Alpha Georgia District Association Convention in Augusta. Why? Their leadership, community impact, and dedication to the fraternity’s mission stood out among 25 chapters across Georgia. “This award is a testament to the passion and hard work of every member,” said Chapter President Harold G. Dickerson. One standout initiative? The Youth to Men mentoring program, where 70 Cobb high schoolers meet bi-monthly to learn life skills and give back to the community. “We’re shaping greatness,” said Steven Boyd, Callis Foundation Chair. For more, visit CobbAlphas.org. STORY 5: AirTag leads police to Chick-fil-A theft suspect Richard George Cintron, 47, of Dallas, is facing charges after allegedly swiping three Rubbermaid utility trash carts and an Apple AirTag—worth $1,545 total—from the Chick-fil-A on Barrett Parkway in Kennesaw. According to police, Cintron was caught on surveillance cameras, along with his personal vehicles, during the thefts on Sept. 14 and 28. The AirTag? It led officers straight to his home, where Paulding County deputies found the stolen items near his truck. Cintron was arrested Nov. 19 and charged with theft by taking over $1,500. He spent less than 12 hours in jail, released on Nov. 20 after posting a $5,000 bond. Break: STORY 6: Strand Theatre's Andy Gaines wins Governor’s Award Gov. Brian Kemp and first lady Marty Kemp announced Monday that Andy Gaines, executive director of the Strand Theatre, is one of this year’s recipients of the Governor’s Awards for the Arts and Humanities. The awards, presented with Georgia Council for the Arts and Georgia Humanities, honor 10 individuals or organizations making a real difference in Georgia’s cultural landscape. “Georgia’s arts and entertainment scene has fueled our economy for decades,” Kemp said. “These honorees have left a lasting mark on their communities and our state.” Under Gaines’ leadership, the Strand generated $5.4 million in economic impact last year, supported 80+ jobs, and contributed $230,000 in government revenue. Recipients will receive a handmade mahogany sculpture by Fairburn artist Etienné Jackson. STORY 7: Mount Paran Christian School collects over 10,000 diapers for Bartow Family Resources Mount Paran Christian School’s high school BETA Club and National Honor Society recently rallied their community for a cause that hits close to home—helping local parents in need. Through their annual Fall Diaper Drive, students encouraged families to donate diapers and wipes for Bartow Family Resources, a nonprofit in Cartersville that supports parents and babies. Flyers went up, announcements were made, and the response? Incredible. Over 10,640 diapers and 1,180 wipes poured in, stacking up at the school’s doors. Student NHS officers counted, sorted, and loaded the donations, ready for Bartow Family Resources to distribute essentials like diapers, formula, and clothing to families who need them most. We’ll have closing comments after this. Break: INGLES 3 Signoff- Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.

Over 3,000 stones rise from the fields of Carnac. They stand silent, waiting, like the trees of Fangorn Forest, patient and alive beneath their stillness.

Quest & Chorus is a 6-part podcast series. I fuse Celtic and folk music, science fiction and fantasy, and travel into a podcast with a quest. In each episode, you will get a clue to unlock a secret reward. And at the end of the season, you will combine all of those clues to unlock an even bigger amazing reward. And today we walk not into a forest—but into a field that feels like one. The Alignments of Carnac stretch across the land like rows of rooted giants. They are silent. But not still. And if you listen… they speak in echoes. Today we talk of nature, of memory, and also of what I learned about food waste.

In 2017, I led a Celtic Invasion of Brittany. You can read about our search for the Holy Grail in France. In the meantime, it's time for the… QUEST & CHORUS of ALIGNMENTS OF CARNAC Over 3,000 standing stones stretch in careful lines through the fields of Carnac. No one knows exactly why they're here. Were they a celestial map? Some say they mark burial grounds. But walking by them, I didn't feel like I was in a graveyard. I felt like I was among the elders. It reminded me of Fangorn Forest, home of the Ents. In The Lord of the Rings, Fangorn is a place where time moves slowly. Trees remember battles that men have forgotten. Carnac is a lot like that. The stones are not dead. They're just waiting. I can't help but wonder who placed them here, so careful and deliberate. The stones of Carnac weren't raised by elves or Ents, but by real people. Neolithic builders, thousands of years before written history. Here's what we know about them. HISTORY OF THE ALIGNMENTS OF CARNAC The Alignments of Carnac in Brittany, France, are one of the most remarkable prehistoric monuments in Europe. They consist of long rows of standing stones (menhirs) and other megalithic features that stretch across the landscape. Archaeological studies show that many of the stones date from between about 4,800 and 3,500 BC — some recent research suggests parts were erected as early as 4,600 BC. The site is not a single line but a complex of alignments: four major groups (for example, Ménec, Kermario, Kerlescan, Petit Ménec) that lie in the commune of Carnac and its surroundings. Originally, these stones were erected by Neolithic peoples who lived in what we now call Brittany. Their purpose remains a subject of debate: some propose they were ritual or ceremonial, others suggest funerary meaning, or perhaps linked to astronomical patterns or seasonal calendars. Over the millennia, many stones were removed, toppled, or reused in local buildings, especially in historic times. The word "alignments" refers to the visible rows of standing stones that still remain. Today, the Alignments of Carnac are protected as important heritage sites. Research continues to refine their dating and function, and the monuments remain a remarkable testimony to the ambition and organisation of prehistoric communities. References: Musee de Prehistoire:The Carnac Alignments Göteborgs universite: Menhirs of Carnac Alignments of Carnac Wikipedia Carnac Tourism: The World Famous Standing Stones Internet Sacred Text Archive: Menhirs and Dolmens LEGENDS & MYTHS OF CARNAC There are actual legends connected to the Carnac stones. One of the most widely told involves Saint Cornély. According to Breton tradition, Cornély was being pursued by soldiers. He and his oxen fled, and the stones of Carnac are said to be the soldiers turned to stone as a result of divine intervention. Another version says the stones were dancing at midnight on Christmas Eve, and people who saw them would be crushed beneath as the stones marched to the sea. While these legends don't claim to explain the actual Neolithic origins of the stones, they illustrate how later generations understood and imagined the dramatic rows of stones in their landscape. MY THOUGHTS on CARNAC Your walk through Carnac: Describe how it feels to be watched by stone that might remember more than you do. PLUS Environmental reflection: These monuments lasted thousands of years. What are we building that will last that long? "Heart of Fangorn" as a prayer for the planet: This song speaks for trees, for roots, for voices we ignore in our haste. In Fangorn, the Ents stand watch over the woods. At Carnac, the menhirs stand silent on the moor. If they could speak, what would their witness be? The Ents of Fangorn resist change; the stones of Carnac endure it. When do you find yourself standing still while everything else moves? 27:48 - Brobdingnagian Bards "Heart of Fangorn" from Memories of Middle Earth Get the "They Come In Pints" album pin to own Memories of Middle Earth and enter the forest Listen to the song recorded live at Dragon Con 2024 in a Bootleg Concert from our Podcast. You can also hear the song on a past Bards podcast episode that was recorded right before we flew off on the second Brobdingnagian Tour of Ireland in 2008. HEART OF FANGORN Lyrics and music Marc Gunn Long before men tread Middle-Earth, Before the dwarves and elves gave birth, There sprouted a race for the trees' defense In the heart of Fangorn, there live the Ents. Ha-room… Ha-da-ra-room. Ha-room… Ha-da-ra-room. Patient farmers they tend the woods. Gaurdians of stems and of roots. They hear the arbors' laments and wails From falling axes and tearful trails. Ha-room… Ha-da-ra-room. Ha-room… Ha-da-ra-room. For Living Creatures all roam the land, But hasty judgements make careless hands. One thoughtless word from a thoughtless king A thousand creatures die beneath the trees. Ha-room… Ha-da-ra-room. Ha-room… Ha-da-ra-room. The rivers will flow though their course may change. The birds are born and will fly away. Men will come and men will go, But the Ents remain through the melting snow. Ha-room… Ha-da-ra-room. Ha-room… Ha-da-ra-room. Mark it down. Because the stones are not silent. They're just slow to speak. This is the final episode named Quest & Chorus. For that matter, it's also the final episode of Folk Songs & Stories, at least by those names. I ran a poll on Patreon to see what name people liked the most. The most popular name was Pub Songs & Stories. So we're moving back to that name. That said, Quest & Chorus is not gone forever. This is just the beginning. I really liked this special feature and so in some episodes in the future, I hope to include a quest and chorus for you. I also realized that the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, my award-winning flagship program, is a great show. But over the past decade, the podcast has become more and more dominated by instrumental Celtic music. Which is fantastic. I love a great set of tunes as much as the songs. But I feel like the singers and the songwriters lost out a bit. I started playing music because I wanted to be a songwriter. I love all styles of music. I love learning how to write songs. Writing Celtic and folk songs are one of the reasons I continue to create music. So another thing I will be doing with a section of the podcast is to continue to promote the singers, songs, and songwriters that I find whether on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast or wherever. A great example is the interview that I'm sharing next time on the podcast. I interviewed Mikey Mason about his songwriting techniques. The things that inspire him to write a new song and share it each and every week for several years now. I'm trying to write more songs myself, and I will continue to share them over on Patreon but hopefully every month I will have a new song that I can share in this podcast as well.

The sea around Skellig Michael never rests. Waves slam the cliffs like a heartbeat, and mist rises from the rocks like breath from some sleeping giant. Eight miles off the Kerry coast, this jagged island looks less like a piece of earth and more like a fragment of another world. More than a thousand years ago, monks climbed 600 stone steps to live here, chasing silence, prayer, and the edge of heaven. Today, visitors come for the same reason, though they may not know it. Whether you're drawn by faith, history, or a galaxy far, far away, Skellig has a way of making you listen to what the sea remembers. And that's where today's story begins — between exile and return, faith and freedom, stone and surf. Because sometimes, we're all just trying to find our way back to the ocean.

And today, we drift to the edge of the world, To Skellig Michael, where the sea swallows history and monks once whispered their prayers to gulls. It's also where a Jedi gave up the fight. And where a selkie sings himself back into the sea. Today's theme may seem like exile or perhaps it's where you truly belong. Quest & Chorus is a 6-part podcast series.

Let's begin the… 13:47 - QUEST & CHORUS of SKELLIG MICHAEL Eight miles off the coast of County Kerry is the island of Skellig Michael. It is a jagged twin-peaked island. Its name comes from the Irish Sceilg Mhichíl which means Michael's Rock. It was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The island's history began in the sixth century. Monks sought isolation and closeness to God. So they settled there because the early Irish monastic tradition valued hardship, solitude, and spiritual testing. The monks carved out a small community on narrow terraces more than 600 steps above sea level. The monastic settlement they built still survives. They built a cluster of beehive stone huts, stone crosses and terraces connected by narrow paths. Everything was dry-stone construction. That means they were fitted together without mortar. They were built so well that they have lasted over a millennium. The monks grew small gardens, caught seabirds and fish, and collected rainwater in cisterns. They survived off of what the island would allow. Skellig Michael was a center of devotion to Saint Michael the Archangel sometime after the 8th century. The island was also a pilgrimage site for centuries. Climbing its steps was seen as a form of penance and spiritual renewal. By the 13th century, life on Skellig Michael had become too difficult. Storms, isolation, and changing Church patterns led the monks to relocate to the mainland, near Ballinskelligs. But the island remained a place of pilgrimage well into the modern era. Skellig Michael is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is recognized for its exceptional preservation of early Christian monastic life and its haunting natural beauty. It's also become familiar to a new generation as Ahch-To, the oceanic world where Luke Skywalker lived in exile in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. Even now, Skellig Michael stands as a symbol of endurance, of faith carved into stone, of solitude turned to sanctuary, and of the fragile bridge between human devotion and the raw power of nature. LEGENDS OF SKELLIG MICHAEL One of the more famous legends involves the Tuatha Dé Danann and the Milesian invasion of Ireland. It is recounted in the Lebor Gabála Érenn (the Book of Invasions). According to this myth: As the Milesians sailed toward Ireland around 1400 BC in the mythic narrative, a storm was caused by the Tuatha Dé Danann. They are one of the faerie-like supernatural race in Irish mythology. Skellig's cliffs are sometimes mentioned as one of the treacherous places where ships were driven ashore. One version says Irr, a son of Míl Espáine (the mythic ancestor of the Gaels), was travelling from the Iberian Peninsula. He drowned and was buried on Skellig. MY THOUGHTS on SKELLIG MICHAEL 20:02 - Marc Gunn “Selkie's Life” from Come Adventure With Me Check out my blog of the puffins of Skellig Michael. Selkie's Life, Selkie Call of the Sea #234 Thank you for returning to the sea with me. Skellig Michael is not the end of the story. But it's where stories are kept safe. Next time, we wander the great alignments of Carnac, stones older than myth, standing like trees in time. Until then… If the sea calls you, don't be afraid to answer. 23:39 - CREDITS Thanks for listening to Quest & Chorus. This episode was edited by Mitchell Petersen.

She shares candidly what the experience was really like behind the scenes — from the preparation and intensity of the pitch, to how the Dragons reacted, and the lessons she took away from being in that high-pressure spotlight. It's a fascinating look at what most viewers never get to see on the show.If you're an entrepreneur, business leader, or simply curious about what it takes to build a modern luxury brand, this episode is packed with insight, inspiration and honesty. In this episode, we discuss: • Vision & Disruption: Imp & Maker was born to modernise gifting — every item should be used, loved, and create memories (not just wicker baskets and re-gifted tea). • High Standards: Sarah-Louise refuses to settle; inspired by mentors like Judith Batchelar (ex-Sainsbury's), she obsesses over every detail of brand experience. • Entrepreneurial Drive: Built one of the UK's largest egg brands, then started again from scratch after a separation — now determined to prove herself again. • Resilience & Sacrifice: Talks openly about scars from setbacks, grueling challenges, long hours, and the emotional toll of building a business. • Surroundings Matter: Emphasises the importance of the right people, both in personal life and in business networks. • Scaling Challenges: From supply chain problems to expensive lessons in Google ads and tech systems — learned agility and adaptability are key. • Brand Positioning: Differentiates through modern, artisan, relevant products and an exceptional unboxing experience. • Women in Business: Candid reflections on being a female entrepreneur, navigating biases, and inspiring her daughters to believe they can achieve anything. • Health & Balance: Stresses discipline in eating, exercise, and family meal times as ways to cope with burnout. • Long-Term Ambition: Aims to build one of the UK's biggest gifting brands and, longer term, help other entrepreneurs from a place of real experience.
The Quiraing is not a gentle place. Stone spires jut skyward, cliffs crumble toward the sea, and paths twist like they're still being carved by giants. It's a landscape that doesn't promise safety—it dares you to take another step. On Skye, they say even dragons once hid in these folds, rising to defend the island from invaders. And standing here, staring into that mist and stone, you can feel it: adventure isn't slaying dragons. It's choosing to face the one within. Music from Kinnfolk, Ed Miller, and Marc Gunn.

Stories: 6 mile hike Dressing like a hobbit Playing music with Kelly and Mitch in the Dancing Pony. Providing the atmosphere for Middle-Earth Sunrise over The Shire Singing beneath the stars. Ed Miller has a gift for turning lived experience into song. In “The Wide Rio Grande,” he tells the story of a young Scottish singer facing the sting of rejection at the U.S. border — and how that moment bound him to countless others who've risked everything to cross into a new life. It's a song about displacement and determination, about rules that separate and courage that refuses to be denied. From Houston to Laredo, from Scotland to Mexico, it is both personal and universal — a reminder that behind every border there are human hearts, still daring to cross. 11:19 - Ed Miller “The Wide Rio Grand” from Many's The Fine Tale The Wide Rio Grande Lyrics and music by Brian McNeill Fifteen years gone, the airport in Houston A young Scottish singer stands waiting in line He's been too long apart from the home of his heart It's a young Texas sweetheart so fair and so fine But the man at the desk with his uniform shoulders Gives uniform reasons and a uniform smile Takes more than a song son. The paperwork's wrong son Fly back where you came from just 5000 miles Come all you brave lads who follow my story I'll stand at the border and give you my hand Here's honor and luck, good health, and glory To those who would try for the wide Rio Grande London to Mexico, ready to try again Walk through a border that thousands have crossed Join the bold dispossessed of the South and the West For a white boy from Scotland, no irony lost But he knows as he reaches the light in Laredo With the guards looking on and the sun beating down That the hard law and order, the rules on the border Has made him at one with the men who have drowned Come all you brave lads who follow my story I'll stand at the border and give you my hand Here's honor and luck, good health, and glory To those who would try for the wide Rio Grande So the next time you walk the wrong side of the border Remember this song as you think on your lot For every man, Jack, who can take the road back Should think on the fortune of those who cannot For Wetback's a name that they whisper in corners But there's one man hear who will wear it with pride For a fence or a wall means nothing at all For a heart full of courage will ne'er be denied Come all you brave lads who follow my story I'll stand at the border and give you my hand Here's honor and luck, good health, and glory To those who would try for the wide Rio Grande Compadres and amigos who follow my story I'll stand at the border and give you my hand Here's honor and luck, good health, and glory To those who would try for the wide Rio Grande 15:50 - UPCOMING SHOWS OCT 11: The Lost Druid Brewery, Avondale Estates, GA OCT 17-19: MultiVerse, Peachtree City, GA NOV 1: Georgia Renaissance Festival Fall Festival, Fairburn, GA NOV 8: IrishFest Atlanta, Roswell, GA with Inara NOV 14-16: CONjuration, Duluth, GA NOV 22: Georgia Renaissance Festival Fall Festival, Fairburn, GA DEC 6: Georgia Renaissance Festival Fall Festival, Fairburn, GA DEC 7: Nerdy Wonderland at The Lost Druid, Avondale Estates, GA @ 12 - 5 PM.

Sign to the Celtic Invasion Vacations mailing list at CelticInvasion.com. Let's begin the… QUEST & CHORUS of QUIRAING, SCOTLAND The Quiraing lies on the northern Trotternish Ridge of Skye. It's part of the largest landslip in Britain — a massive collapse of rock that stretches nearly the length of the peninsula. What makes the Quiraing remarkable is that it's still moving. Every year, the road below must be repaired, because cracks open and the land shifts. The cliffs and pinnacles here are not frozen in time; they are alive, in motion, reshaping themselves even now. Within this landscape are some striking features: The Needle, a tall jagged spike of rock; The Prison, a crag shaped like a fortress; and The Table, a grassy plateau hidden away within the folds of the cliffs. These names reflect how the landscape feels — not just natural, but storied. The word Quiraing comes from Old Norse — Kví Rand — which means “round fold.” It's thought to describe the way the land curves inward, almost like a natural pen or hollow. Local lore says the hollows were once used to hide cattle, especially during Viking raids. The geography itself became a shield, a place of protection. There are stories of dragons living in the Quiraing. However, the dragon stories don't come from ancient Gaelic tradition. They appear more in modern folklore retellings and travel writing — stories told to capture the atmosphere of the landscape. It's easy to see why. The Prison, a huge crag that looks like a fortress, seems like the perfect lair. The Needle rises like a spear ready to strike. The Table, hidden within the fold of the cliffs, feels like a secret clearing where wings could unfurl. One version says the dragons hid in the folds of the Quiraing, guarding the people of Skye from Viking invaders. When longships came over the horizon, the dragons rose from the cliffs themselves — wings beating like thunder, breath as fierce as the Atlantic spray. The Vikings fled, and the people survived. It's not a tale you'll find in the oldest manuscripts. In a place where the land still moves, where cliffs shift and stones crash down, dragons feel less like fantasy and more like a natural explanation for the Quiraing's wild power. So when you set foot there today, you're not just walking among rocks and landslides. You're stepping into a landscape that invites adventure — where the air feels charged, as if dragons might still be hiding just behind the next ridge, waiting for the moment to rise again. In Middle-earth, places like this are where heroes are tested. This is where Frodo keeps walking. Where Aragorn faces the dead. Where you ask: Am I brave enough to keep going? Talk prompts: Fear is not the enemy—stagnation is. Talk about how fear can be a compass, not a wall. The illusion of safety: The “door” we hide behind may protect us—but it can also trap us. Personal story: Have you ever reached a moment of internal Quiraing? When you had to keep going even if you were shaking? D&D parallel: Every great campaign starts with a hesitant first step. Players choose to walk into darkness. The song's core idea: Adventure is not slaying dragons. It's choosing to face the dragon within. This song came from that moment— That catch in the chest before you say ‘yes.' That step forward that feels like a leap. It's about choosing the road that scares you… Because it also might save you. This is Come Adventure With Me. 29:24 - Marc Gunn “Come Adventure With Me” from Come Adventure With Me Your next clue is locked in the lyrics. What turns you to stone? Listen again. Write it down. Because sometimes, it hardens into walls. And sometimes… you have to break them. Thanks for walking the edge with me today. The Quiraing doesn't give answers. But it gives perspective. Next time, we dive into a different kind of exile, on Skellig Michael, where legends go to disappear beneath the waves. Until then, wherever you are… Come adventure with me. 33:52 - CREDITS Thanks for listening to Quest & Chorus. This episode was edited by Mitchell Petersen.

You can join me with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts, blogs, videos, and photos. In 2026, you can join me for a Celtic Invasion of Galicia in Spain. Sign to the Celtic Invasion Vacations mailing list at CelticInvasion.com. Let's begin the… QUEST & CHORUS of TINTAGEL, CORNWALL - History & Myth Tintagel is carved into the coast of Cornwall — cliffs like the broken edge of a sword, sea spray rising like breath. Ruins cling to the stone. A castle? Maybe. A dream? Definitely. But before we step into the realm of Arthur and Avalon, let's talk about what Tintagel really is.
Dr. Pamela Roshell's Plan for a Healthier Fulton County: Solving Health Deserts & Boosting Community Wellness Dr. Pamela Roshell is leading a comprehensive effort to transform public health in Fulton County, Georgia. Her strategy is a tailored, holistic approach that addresses the unique needs of communities from North to South Fulton. Roshell's mission focuses on tackling "health deserts"—areas with limited healthcare access. Through strategic partnerships, like the one with Morehouse School of Medicine, she is establishing new community clinics. These hubs offer essential services, including primary care and preventative screenings, to create a more equitable healthcare system for underserved residents. Leveraging her background as a former Obama Administration official and Regional Director for HHS, Roshell brings a deep understanding of securing federal funding for innovative, community-based solutions. A top priority is mental and behavioral health. Roshell is fighting the stigma and lack of access to care through new programs and expanded access points. Her work also directly benefits Fulton County's senior population, with initiatives that improve access to care and promote social engagement to combat isolation. Roshell believes in a holistic approach to community well-being, recognizing that public safety and the arts are interconnected with health. This 360-degree view helps her create policies that improve the overall wellness of the county's residents. Follow @fultoninfo Web: https://www.FultonCounty.gov Call: (404) 612-4000 About: Dr. Roshell, one of the highest regarded experts on health services in the south (and an Obama Administration Presidential Appointee!) – she'd love to talk about how Fulton County is improving quality of life for its residents through developing new clinics in “health deserts,” and working to solve critical health issues for individuals and families in the county's 15 municipalities (Fulton County extends from cities like Milton, Alpharetta, Johns Creek at the top to Fairburn, Chatahoochee Hills and more at the base of the long county!). This includes behavioral health and mental health, some very important topics these days! She is a delight! Please let me know the coordinates I should share with her, and I should have at least one other person to send you for the following day too... Dr. Pamela Roshell serves as Chief Operating Officer for Fulton County Government, where she provides executive leadership and operational oversight across key service areas including Health and Human Services, Economic Development, Public Safety, and Arts and Libraries. In this role, she manages a broad portfolio of countywide initiatives, directs a large and diverse workforce, and stewards a multi-million dollar operating budget that supports critical programs and services for Fulton County residents. She also ensures alignment with essential community partners, including the Fulton County Board of Health and the Department of Family and Children Services. Since joining Fulton County in 2017, Dr. Roshell has held several senior leadership roles, including Deputy Chief Operating Officer and Director of Senior Services. Her work has focused on advancing innovative strategies to improve service delivery, expand access to care, and strengthen outcomes for vulnerable populations. Prior to her service in county government, Dr. Roshell was appointed Regional Director for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, where she oversaw federal health programs across the Southeast. She also held executive roles at the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), including serving as State Director for AARP Georgia, where she led advocacy, outreach, and program development for more than one million members. Dr. Roshell holds a bachelor's degree from Columbia College, a Master of Social Work with a concentration in administration from the University of South Carolina, and a Ph.D. in social policy, planning, and administration from Clark Atlanta University.

After surviving the Hyde attacks and saving Nevermore, Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) returns to school for her second year—but now she's a reluctant hero with a terrifying psychic vision of Enid's (Emma Myers) death, and a brutal new mystery begins to unfold.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by blogger, podcaster and recurring guest Chris Ostrander (Two in the Box) for a discussion on several Buffalo Sabres topics, including reaction to Matthew Fairburn's Sabres piece in The Athletic last week, a rebuttal of sorts from a former team employee and Chris' post covering the hiring of Jarmo Kekäläinen as a senior adviser.Fairburn's piece that essentially concluded the Sabres organization has been like a hamster wheel caught the attention of many fans over the last week and Matthew talked about the article in depth as a guest on this show last Thursday. Today Chris offers his takes on Matthew's story, which not only brought to light Kevyn Adams' rise to power but more/less painted a gloomy picture of the organization, one that's easily deserved after 14 years of missing out on the playoffs.Also, a former Sabres social media manager (Craig Kanalley) wrote a piece on his Substack page that respectfully took issue with some of the topics from Fairburn's piece. The guys react to what they liked and didn't about Craig's post.Of course the real story with the Sabres is what they're going to do to improve this roster, perhaps dramatically and end their playoff drought. It's pretty safe to assume desperation mode needs to be activated for the organization and Chris has some thoughts on what that may entail. Plus, Chris discusses his post on the hire of Kekalainen as senior advisor, perhaps a little Buffalo Bills talk and more.Be sure to follow Chris on X at @2ITB_Buffalo and check out the Two in the Box blog in addition to the Instigator Podcast.Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red's at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium.

Also big thanks to Imperial Pizza and their two locations (1035 Abbott Road and 1655 Main Street), home of not only great pizza and tons of other delicious eats but also the best everyday lunch special in town.Special thanks to local Buffalo band, Orange Zest for allowing us to use their awesome single, “Old Friends” as the new official intro music for Talking Buffalo.

MATT FAIRBURN FROM THE ATHLETIC JOINED US TO DISCUSS HIS MOST RECENT ARTICLE OUTLINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SABRS GM KEVYN ADAMS AND OWNER TERRY PEGULA. HOWHE GOPT THE JOB, WAS THERE MERIT FOR HIS HIRING AND HOW WAS HE INTRODUCED. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matthew Fairburn from The Athletic to discuss his extremely informative and intriguing story that dropped earlier this week involving Terry Pegula, Kevyn Adams and the continuously dysfunctional Buffalo Sabres organization.Fairburn did a deep dive into the Sabres organization, one that has certainly caught the attention of many people including frustrated Sabres fans. For the story Fairburn sat down with the Sabres general manager in addition to speaking to no less than 10 different people involved with or having knowledge of the organization's inner workings. Before discussing the story specifically Patrick asks Matt some questions about the process of putting the piece together, including how long it took to do from start to finish, if he gets a sense for how much attention people like Adams and Pegula pay to media stuff out there, and if it's even worth the bother attempting to ask Pegula to speak on the record for stories anymore.It doesn't take long for the story to take shape, as barely four paragraphs in a gloomy----yet completely accurate portrayal is painted of the franchise. The guys talk about some of the key talking points from Fairburn's work, including Pegula not feeling his vision was being seen before promoting Adams, the (sad) truth about the team's spending habits in relations to the salary cap, many skeptical that Adams got the job to begin with considering he had no real experience at any hockey operational level especially scouting and what the present/future may hold. It's truly some excellent work from Matt and this was an informative chat with one of this market's best writers.You can follow Matt on Twitter at @MatthewFairburn and of course check out his coverage of the Sabres at The Athletic,Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red's at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for February 22nd Publish Date: February 22nd PRE-ROLL: GCPS From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, February 22nd and Happy Birthday to Sparky Anderson. ***02.22.25 - BIRTHDAY – SPARKY ANDERSON*** I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Hudgens Center Hosting Pair of Exhibits Through April Senate confirms Loeffler to run U.S. Small Business Administration Duracell R&D headquarters coming to Atlanta All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Hudgens Center Hosting Pair of Exhibits Through April The Hudgens Center for Art and Learning in Duluth is hosting two exhibitions through April. The 10th annual “Stand in Ansel Adams’ Footsteps” juried competition, featuring 133 black-and-white nature photos, runs until April 26, celebrating the iconic landscape photographer. “Pause, Reflect, Prepare,” showcasing figurative sculptures by Decatur artist Jess Self, continues through April 19. Self’s work incorporates materials like wax, wool, and wood, reflecting her expertise in sculpture. Both exhibits highlight the center’s mission to connect art lovers and learners. Visit the Hudgens Center on Sugarloaf Parkway for more details. STORY 2: Senate confirms Loeffler to run U.S. Small Business Administration Former Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., has been confirmed as director of the federal Small Business Administration in a 52-46 Senate vote. Loeffler, previously appointed to the Senate in 2020 by Gov. Brian Kemp, lost her seat to Democrat Raphael Warnock in 2021. A former CEO and co-owner of the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream, she is married to Jeff Sprecher, CEO of Intercontinental Exchange. A Trump loyalist, Loeffler supported efforts to challenge Georgia’s 2020 election results. She also founded Greater Georgia to boost GOP voter registration. Loeffler joins other Georgians in key federal roles under Trump’s second term. STORY 3: Duracell R&D headquarters coming to Atlanta Duracell will establish its Global Research and Development Headquarters in Atlanta, investing $56 million and creating 110 jobs. The facility will be located near Georgia Tech’s Midtown campus at Science Square, a hub for innovation. Duracell, which already operates facilities in LaGrange and Fairburn, aims to strengthen its position as a global leader in battery technology. Gov. Brian Kemp highlighted Georgia’s appeal to innovative companies due to its research institutions, logistics network, and pro-business environment. The project was supported by state and local economic development partners. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: RINGLING BROS_FINAL STORY 4: UPDATE: Argument Leads To Deadly Shooting At Lawrenceville Area McDonald's A workplace dispute turned deadly Wednesday in the parking lot of a Lawrenceville McDonald’s, leaving 43-year-old Donald Stewart dead and his boss, 40-year-old Michael Todd, in custody. Gwinnett police reported the incident occurred on Sugarloaf Parkway just before noon. Stewart was shot in the back and later died at a hospital. Todd remained at the scene and was arrested, facing charges including malice murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault. The argument between the co-workers escalated into the fatal shooting. STORY 5: House panel approves easing burden of proof of intellectual disability in capital cases A Georgia House committee advanced House Bill 123, which aims to ease the process for death penalty defendants to claim intellectual disability as a defense. The bill would lower the burden of proof from “beyond a reasonable doubt” to “preponderance of the evidence” and separate the determination of intellectual disability from the trial’s guilt phase. Advocates argue this reduces the risk of executing individuals with intellectual disabilities, aligning Georgia with other states. Critics, including a district attorney, warn it could complicate seeking the death penalty. The bill now moves to the House Rules Committee for a floor vote. Break 3: GCPS STORY 6: Officials Release Sketch To Help Identify Missing Remains Found In Gwinnett County Lawrenceville Police released a sketch to identify human remains found near Georgia Highway 316 and Duluth Highway on Feb. 10. Construction workers discovered a human skull near Northside Gwinnett Hospital, but no other remains were located. Forensic experts determined the skull belonged to a Caucasian man aged 35 to 70. A sketch by a Georgia Bureau of Investigation artist depicts what the man may have looked like. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the Lawrenceville Police Department or Gwinnett County Medical Examiner’s Office. STORY 7: State Senate passes farmland preservation constitutional change The Georgia Senate approved a constitutional amendment to double the farmland eligible for conservation tax breaks from 2,000 to 4,000 acres, passing 51-1. The measure, part of efforts to preserve farmland amid significant losses over 50 years, will go to voters in a 2026 referendum. If approved, it would take effect in 2027. The Senate also passed an accompanying bill to set the referendum date. Supporters, like Sen. Sam Watson, highlighted the need to adapt the Conservation Use Valuation Assessment (CUVA) program to modern farming trends with larger family farms. The legislation now heads to the Georgia House. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: Ingles Markets 2 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Today is Friday, June 7th and Happy heavenly Birthday to entertainer Dean Martin. ***06.07.24 – BIRTHDAY – DEAN MARTIN*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Suspected Gang Member Allegedly Murdered Duluth Man at Strip Mall Seven men face RICO charges for allegedly breaking into 492 cars in Gwinnett Investigators say 61-year-old Norcross Woman Allegedly Set Two Homes on Fire All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MOG STORY 1: Suspected Gang Member Allegedly Murdered Duluth Man at Strip Mall Gwinnett County deputies arrested Alexis Coria, a 27-year-old alleged Surenos gang member from Lawrenceville, for the murder of Kevin Valdez in a Lilburn strip mall parking lot on May 19. Coria faces charges of malice murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault. The Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office Fugitive Unit tracked Coria to Acworth, where he was arrested without incident after being monitored leaving an address in Dunwoody. Valdez was found dead in his car at 880 Indian Trail Lilburn Road. The motive remains unclear, though the incident began between Burns Road and Dickens Road. STORY 2: Seven men face RICO charges for allegedly breaking into 492 cars in Gwinnett A joint operation involving multiple law enforcement agencies and the Gwinnett County District Attorney's Office resulted in the indictment of seven men on racketeering charges for breaking into 492 cars and stealing some of them over 17 months. The suspects, including residents from East Point, Fairburn, and Conley, face RICO charges. The investigation, starting in November 2022, involved fingerprint analysis, DNA evidence, surveillance videos, and cell phone data. Five suspects have been arrested, while two remain at large. The DA's office aims to hold the defendants accountable, with each facing up to 20 years in prison if convicted. STORY 3: Investigators: 61-year-old Norcross Woman Allegedly Set Two Homes on Fire Gwinnett County Fire Investigators are searching for Hong T. Huynh, a 61-year-old Norcross woman, accused of intentionally setting two homes on fire early Saturday morning. The fires, which occurred on Buckingham Court and Turners Ridge Drive, about 3.5 miles apart, displaced multiple families and resulted in one serious injury. Both fires were deemed connected and deliberate. Investigators are seeking information leading to Huynh's arrest, offering up to $10,000 for tips. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Gwinnett County Fire Investigations Section or the Georgia Arson Control Hotline.

GCPS Chief HR Officer Cathy Hardin praised the program's robust mentoring, professional development, and support network. In recognition, GCPS will receive a GaDOE digital certification seal and has been invited to mentor other districts and join the state's review team.

We'll be back in a moment Break 3: INGLES 10 STORY 6: AI finds plethora of potential sources for new antibiotics to fight superbugs Using artificial intelligence, an international research team identified 863,498 promising antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) from the natural world to combat deadly drug-resistant superbugs. Published in the journal Cell, this study addresses the urgent need for new antibiotics as antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant public health threat, killing 1.27 million people annually. Researchers verified AI predictions by testing 100 peptides in the lab, finding many effective against resistant bacteria. The study involved analyzing over 60,000 metagenomes globally. The resulting AMPSphere database is now publicly available to aid antibiotic discovery. STORY 7: Women overweight as teen or young adult more likely to have stroke: study New research reveals that women who were overweight as teenagers or young adults are significantly more likely to suffer a stroke by age 55, while men do not share the same risk. The Finnish study followed over 10,000 participants for 40 years and found women overweight at ages 14 or 31 had a higher risk of ischemic stroke, even if they lost weight later. Overweight women at age 31 were also more likely to suffer bleeding strokes. Men had increased risk only if obese at age 31. The study emphasizes the long-term health effects of early obesity and suggests health professionals address weight issues in a non-stigmatizing manner. We'll have final thoughts after this.

T.R. Adams, President of T.R. Adams and Associates, joins host Carol Morgan for this week's Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio episode. In this podcast segment, Adams discusses his strategies for marketing homes and building relationships with Atlanta builders and developers.Before starting his own business, Adams worked extensively in multiple facets of the real estate industry, including sales, general brokerage, land consulting and more. With over 36 years in the industry, he now offers clients a comprehensive sales and marketing perspective rooted in honesty, creative strategies and experience. “I love working with people,” he said. “I love putting together great teams and working together make things happen.” T.R. Adams and Associates is a diverse team that supports homebuilders and developers during every step of the construction process. Through sales, marketing and land consultation, the team offers professional guidance to ensure everything runs smoothly. Adams shares that his strategy for success starts with basic marketing such as photography and maintaining a boots-on-the-ground, physical presence. Adams said, “No matter how technology evolves, we have evolved back to swiping through pictures. People want to know that we are really there at the house.” T.R. Adams and Associates works with homebuilder and development clients of all levels, whether that spans a few houses a year or hundreds. Recently, the team began analyzing property and lot value to give clients the highest andbest use for building and pricing homes. That knowledge comes to play during key land purchases and planning locations for upcoming home builds. The team also offers resale marketing services. Adams said, “I really want to work with builders and developers, but we also do resale because, at the end of the day, it makes your business more well-rounded." Headquartered in Midtown, T.R. Adams and Associates is proud to offer services to clients within a 60-to-70-mile radius of Atlanta. Adams emphasized that location is everything to his clients, which is why he makes sure that his team is flexible and able to serve a large pool of homebuilders and developers across intown Atlanta and surrounding areas like Braselton, Calhoun, Athens, Fairburn and more.Adams is currently building his network of Realtors across Atlanta and making strategic partnerships based on community locations. When choosing his clients, he said that it starts with research. MarketNsight is one of his favorite resources. He utilized them for regression reports, rent feasibility and more. Running numbers is how Adams and his team help clients see what is working and what is not when it comes to land and construction. Adams said, “That is where you start, really getting a full understanding of what they are selling and where do builders fit.” T.R. Adams and Associates evaluates the data and helps builders find a sweet spot between competitive pricing and unique property features. Adams emphasizes that each builder has a different perspective and specific ideas, but the market numbers help them sell more homes and stay competitive.With inventory at a notable low, it is a seller's market right now. Adams suggests that buyers choose their time to buy based on when they are ready, not based on interest rates or other factors. “The best time to buy is when you are ready to buy,” Adam said. “Buy now and if interest rates change, just re-finance.” Tune in to the full interview above to learn more about T.R.

On this week's episode of Political Breakfast, the FBI intercepted a letter sent to the Fulton County Elections hub in Fairburn that is possibly laced with the powerful opioid fentanyl. The letter is connected to mail sent to Washington state elections offices. The FBI is currently running tests. Gainesville's WDUN talk show host Martha Zoller fills-in for Republican Strategist Brian Robinson, along with Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and host Lisa Rayam. Plus, protesters and police who started a so-called 'Cop City' protest in Gresham Park clashed with police near the future site of Atlanta's public safety training center. Atlanta Police say they found bolt cutters, gas masks, and makeshift construction tools Monday morning in DeKalb County. And metro Atlanta voters headed to the polls in small numbers on Tuesday November 7th. Mayoral races and several seats on the Atlanta Public School Board were at stake. But turnout was dismal -- just 10 percent in Fulton County. Finally, Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina drops out of the 2024 presidential race.

Commercial : CUofGA STORY 1 mall Vanessa Robinson, an 18-year-old Fairburn woman, has been indicted by a Cobb County grand jury for felony murder. She is accused of intentionally hitting 25-year-old Paige Jenkins with her car at Cumberland Mall on July 16, resulting in severe injuries that led to Jenkins' death at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital. Robinson was apprehended with the assistance of the Fairburn Police Department and was booked into the Cobb County jail on July 17. She is currently being held without bond. ......................……... read more about this at mdjonline.com Story 2: botched Darius Favor Butler and Jeremiah Eshaun Howard have been indicted by a Cobb County grand jury for murder, armed robbery, and aggravated assault. The charges stem from a failed armed robbery at a north Cobb home in May. The incident resulted in the death of a third co-conspirator, Anthony Jones, and injuries to Butler. Jones and Butler attempted to rob two individuals who subsequently shot them in self-defense. Although the robbery targets were unharmed, Butler and Howard still face murder charges under Georgia law, which holds assailants responsible for the death of co-conspirators during a crime. Butler is in custody without bond, while Howard's status is unclear. Story 3: carr Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, who is speculated to run for governor after Brian Kemp's term, addressed the Cobb County Republican Women's Club. Carr highlighted his accomplishments in office, including his work on crime, and criticized President Joe Biden and the direction of the Democratic Party. Carr emphasized the need to maintain Republican control of state government and urged attendees to continue supporting the party. He defended law enforcement, discussed his office's efforts against human trafficking and gang activities, and expressed his commitment to holding those engaging in violence accountable. Carr also discussed his lawsuits against the Biden administration and voiced concerns about the current administration's policies..…..(pause) We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

The current agreement sees 19.75% of Marietta's hotel-motel revenue go to the authority, but the city council has voted to defer action on a new agreement until the next mayor and council take office in 2026. The decision could impact the authority's plans for a major renovation, including a new on-site hotel. The authority argues that stable revenue is crucial for its redevelopment plans. STORY 5: k9 The Georgia Police K9 Foundation has provided a LOF Streetfighter Vest, valued at $1,200, to K9 Axel of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. K9 Axel, a Belgium Malinois, is based in Acworth and serves in Region 1 of the DNR, covering Cobb County. The vest, designed to be lightweight and protect K9s from overheating, helps regulate body temperature in Georgia's hot climate. The Georgia Police K9 Foundation is a volunteer-based nonprofit that raises awareness about the contributions of police K9s and supports their protection and safety during dangerous situations. Story 6: circle More than 2,000 students, teachers, and supporters gathered at North Cobb Christian School for their annual Circle of Prayer event, emphasizing the school's Christian faith. The event also marked the school's 40th anniversary. Participants circled the football field, offering prayers for students' growth, successful school years, faculty, staff, local communities, the nation, and the world. The event included hymns, guided prayers, and worship singing. The school's student life director, Parker Smith, highlighted the importance of prayer for spiritual growth and its reminder of God's control. The Circle of Prayer has become a cherished tradition at the school. We'll be back in a moment Break: Powers – elon - ESOG Story 7: pipe The new pipe organ at First United Methodist Church is nearly 85% installed, with about 3,180 pipes needing individual tuning and adjustments for optimal sound. The organ, which arrived in July 2021, is replacing the church's 50-year-old pipe organ that was in disrepair. The installation is expected to be completed by November 5th, coinciding with a consecration service. The German-built organ by Glatter-Götz cost $1.5 million and took 18 months to construct. The church's organist, Brian Parks, explained that consultants are fine-tuning the pipes to ensure proper sound quality and volume, likening the process to blending an orchestra. Story 8: board Unlike other local government bodies in Cobb County, the Marietta school board does not broadcast or record its meetings for public viewing. Board members and the superintendent have varying opinions on the matter. Only one board member, Jaillene Hunter, expressed explicit support for making meetings available through live streams or recordings, emphasizing transparency. Other members had concerns about the cost of implementing such changes and the impact on the close-knit community feel of in-person meetings. The district had experimented with live streaming during the pandemic, but the impact on engagement was minimal. The board chair, Kerry Minervini, noted that current resources are better focused on education rather than recording meetings. Story 9: debut The Walker Wolverines, under new coach TJ Anderson, showed significant improvement from last year's disappointing season as they triumphed over the Indians with a commanding 43-0 shutout victory. The team started strong and maintained control throughout the game. Coach Anderson emphasizes focusing on the present season and improving fundamentals. Quarterback Aidan Charles had a standout performance with 116 passing yards, complemented by a robust rushing game that contributed to their 371 yards of total offense. The defense played exceptionally well, holding the Indians to under 100 total yards. Special teams also made an impact by blocking multiple punts. Coach Anderson credits the team's dedication and aims to continue progressing week by week. …Back with final thoughts after Break: -Art - Henssler 60 - JRM Signoff- Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Marietta Daily Journal podcast.

“With all the evil and all the suffering that is in the world and that Jews have undergone throughout history, as a people, we've always been focused on being a moral and creative force in the world. And if Jews are about anything, we're about the faith in what could be faith in the future.”— Dr. Elliott MalametIn this Special School of Living Jewishly podcast for Tisha b'av, Dr. Elliott Malamet explores various explanations for why there is suffering, and God's silent role in each. Through various texts and philosophies, this episode hopes to bring clarity to why there is human suffering and why humans (specifically Jews) blame or do not blame God. Referencing a text by psychoanalyst Dr. R.W. Fairburn, Elliott explores why “it's better to be a sinner in a world ruled by God, than a saint in a world ruled by the devil.” Elliott also explores the idea of the covenant between Jews and God, that if you do good, you get good. If you receive or experience bad things, you must have done something wrong – but is that truly the case?Tune in to dive deeply into this fascinating topic with Dr. Elliott Malamet.This episode discusses: ✔ What are we willing to overlook in order to protect God's reputation?✔ If not God, whom or what are we willing to blame for the presence of suffering?✔ What's the mindset that underlies an approach to suffering in which you blame yourself?

Locked On Canes - Daily Podcast On Miami Hurricanes Football & Basketball
The Miami Hurricanes have received a 247 Crystal Ball to flip defensive line recruit Joshua Horton from Fairburn, Georgia. He is a current North Carolina commit.

Aron Nick was recommended to us with a simple message: “He has been kicking ass trying to make the Dirt World a better place.” Since that is about as good of an intro as any: Aron Nick is an Equipment Trainer at Strack, Inc out of Fairburn, GA. He's been around the block in the industry: shoveled fly ash at a coal power plant, helped build the 5th runway at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and has built a reputation as an elite operator. He's spent time as a supervisor, thought he wasn't cut out for leadership and tried to stay out of leader, but was immediately identified over and over again as someone who knows their stuff and has the patience to teach that to others. In the last few years, Aron has dived head-first into developing effective training programs to bring new folks into the industry and train them to become highly valuable team members. With a background like that, what's not to like? This week on Dirt Talk, Aron joins host Aaron Witt in the Dirt Talk Studio for a vulnerable and transparent conversation about his winding road through the Dirt World, what he's discovered many people miss when it comes to training new people, and how leadership doesn't just come from your job title — everyone can be a leader. Follow the Strack Inc story at strackinc.com or @strack_inc on IG. Stay Dirty!
