Ever wondered what it's like to fly 17+ hours straight? Matt Drinkwater comes to share his experience with Qantas on the near-Kangaroo route to Perth (we talk the past and present of that route), and more, onto Brisbane. Matt and Paul share a deep bond with Japan, and discuss the beauty, and quirkiness, of flying within Japan, from small airports, to the smell of Kansai International (yes, airports have a smell!). Qsuite to Bali, it doesn't get much better than this (especially with that chocolate ganache). There's a certain allure in epic journeys, a remnant of our forefathers' explorations, this also requires you to get lost, something that Japan or China still offer (don't resist, do let go). Do you research the food you'll have on-board? Matt does (that salt and pepper squid at the Heathrow Qantas lounge!). Can one love British Airways in 2026? Matt does, and makes a great case why it stays relevant, in spite of its IT woes (but, do you smash into people at Heathrow?!). When technology meets emotion (Star Wars, anyone?), and when it doesn't (that gimmicky hologram… IYKYK). The same goes with crew uniforms, and Matt works in fashion (also, American Airlines, please watch Forks, the episode of The Bear). The global tensions, jet fuel woes, and the inflation of air travel fares in the very near future (a sensitive topic …and book that trip now!).

Ben and Rob head back to Forks to crack open Breaking Dawn – Part 1, the strangest chapter in the Twilight saga. Before getting into the chaos, they rewind to ask the obvious question: what is this film actually trying to be? The pair unpack the cultural moment surrounding its release, what critics made of it at the time, and why a movie that feels like it has three completely different acts somehow still counts as one story.From there the conversation gets weirder. The boys dig into the Mormon influence behind the Twilight universe, the fingerprints of purity culture all over Bella and Edward's relationship, and how those ideas shape the film's deeply uncomfortable worldview. Along the way they debate whether Bella might secretly be one of the worst movie wives ever put to screen (a title previously held by Amazing Amy in Gone Girl), and why the film's emotional logic feels so… off.It's romance, horror, awkward honeymoon vibes, and some truly baffling storytelling as Ben and Rob try to untangle why Breaking Dawn – Part 1 feels so strange, what it says about love, marriage, and control in the Twilight world… and, as always, beneath the vampires, wolves, and wedding bells… what does it really mean?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS!

      What if the very thing holding you back isn't your body… but your fear? In this week's episode of Be a Warrior Podcast, I'm coming to you in real time  in the middle of something new, uncomfortable, and humbling. If you've been following along, you know last week I talked about life lessons from the ski slopes and how we have to stop looking down at our feet and start looking ahead at what's coming. That lesson didn't end on the mountain. It followed me straight into this week. As an above-knee amputee, I've learned that one of our earliest survival habits is looking down. When you first get your prosthesis, you watch it constantly. You can't feel your foot, so you visually confirm it's there. Every step is deliberate. Every movement is monitored. Adaptive skiing taught me the same lesson when I ski with one leg, my instinct is to look down at my ski to make sure it's under me. But when you look down, you miss what's coming at you. Hazards. Forks in the road. The bigger picture. And that's not just skiing. That's life. This week, I'm leaning into something I do every year  choosing a word that will guide me. My word for 2026 is trust. And wouldn't you know it? I was immediately handed an opportunity to live it. A prosthetics company from France, Hopper, reached out and asked me to try their running blade. Now, if you know me, you know I've used a running blade before. I even completed a 10K during my first year as an amputee adding socks mid-race as my limb volume shrank, hoping my leg would stay on. That race required grit. It required strength. But above all, it required trust. This new blade, however, is different. It required a different knee a microprocessor knee I've never used before. For six years I trusted my Ottobock C-Leg. Last September, I transitioned to the Össur Navi knee because it's waterproof  I can snorkel with it, travel with it, take it into the ocean. I love how it responds. I trust it. And now? I'm back at square one. New knee. New blade. New mechanics. New fear. New Blade- Trust the Process   Hopper Running Blade Standing between parallel bars in an office, with people watching and cameras recording, I felt that old instinct creep back in. Tight muscles. Hesitation. Looking down. Wanting to be good immediately. Wanting to “perform.” Wanting to prove. But trust doesn't grow in 30 minutes under fluorescent lights. So I brought the blade home. And here I am walking in it around my house. Stepping outside. Trying to “run,” which currently looks more like a gallop from a newborn deer. It's awkward. It's humbling. It's vulnerable. And it's exactly where growth happens. Here's what I've realized: when we don't trust, fear takes over. And fear tightens us up. We don't relax into movement. We don't open up. We don't visualize success we visualize what could go wrong. What if I fall? What if I break my wrist? What if I embarrass myself in public? I've fallen before. On sidewalks. In front of cars that didn't even stop to check on me. I've tripped on hikes. I've fallen skiing. And every single time, I learned something. Failure is feedback. On my last ski trip, I intentionally chose the harder side of the slope. Why? Because I realized if I wasn't falling, I probably wasn't pushing. I did fall exhausted from aggressive turns my muscles weren't prepared for. And that fall told me exactly what I needed to strengthen. If we never risk failure, we never gather information. And that applies far beyond prosthetics or skiing. It applies to relationships. To careers. To faith. To stepping into something new. Trust requires us to first identify what we're afraid of. For me, I had to name it: I'm afraid of falling. I'm afraid of being embarrassed. I'm afraid of injury that could set me back. Once I name the fear, I can address it. Once I address it, I can begin building trust.     That's my call to action for you this week. First: choose a word. A guiding word for your year. Maybe it's trust. Maybe it's courage. Maybe it's surrender. Maybe it's strength. But choose something intentional. Second: identify where fear is showing up in your life. Where are you tightening up? Where are you looking down instead of forward? If you're a new amputee and you're exhausted from thinking through every step — I see you. I remember the mental drain of early prosthetic use. I remember wondering if I'd ever be able to carry laundry without watching my foot. And now? I do it without thinking. But it took time. It took repetition. It took falling. It took lifting my chin. If you're not wearing your prosthesis because you don't trust it, the only way through is through. Wear it. Practice in your home. Slow your gait. Gradually lift your eyes forward. You will build that trust, one step at a time. And if your struggle isn't physical — if it's relational, emotional, spiritual — the principle is the same. Face the fear. Name it. Then take one small step toward trust. This week, I'm in the middle of it with you. Learning a new knee. Learning a new blade. Learning to open up again after five years of not truly running. I don't know yet how it will end. But I know this: I won't build trust by standing still. There is a warrior within you. And warriors don't avoid fear they walk straight into it with their chin lifted and their eyes forward. So let's do this together. Choose your word. Face your fear. Trust the process. And until next time, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!!   Much love,

Humankind loves systems and order. We obsessively name and categorize everything in nature. We divided all of the branches of life into Species and Genus and Kingdoms. We plotted every element in the universe into a table of contents. We put the square block in the square hole. And in our kitchens, we stack the plates with the plates and the bowls with the bowls. Forks go on other forks and spoon nestle with other spoons. But there is one cupboard that is given to entropy. Chaos reins on the coffee cup shelf. There is no organization or stacking when no cup matches another in any dimension. Ponder this dilemma over a cup of coffee with Mat and Veronique as we confront our addictions, not to caffeine, but to the uncontrollable hoarding of coffee Mugs! *Grumbles are specifically off-the-cuff, no research went into this grumble. _____________________________________ Support the show and become a Grumble Kid!

In this episode, we delve into the remarkable experiences of Tom Sewid, a First Nations man from Northern Vancouver Island who now lives in Forks, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula. Growing up immersed in Indigenous traditions where Sasquatch is understood as part of the land and culture, Thomas shares a lifetime of encounters that began in his youth and continued through decades spent guiding, fishing, and living deep in the bush.From coastal shellfish beaches of Vancouver Island to remote river systems and logging country near Forks, Thomas recounts close-range sightings, thermal captures, gifting interactions, and moments that brought him face to face with these beings at startling distances. He also discusses the development of his upcoming Sasquatch museum, rare cast acquisitions, and the cultural regalia connected to his tribe's highest-ranking crest.Throughout the conversation, Thomas offers insight into territorial patterns, population estimates tied to salmon rivers, and the importance of respect when entering these environments. His perspective bridges lived wilderness experience with Indigenous knowledge passed down through generations.Join us as we explore Thomas's powerful journey across Vancouver Island and the Pacific Northwest, where Sasquatch is not a legend of the past, but an ongoing presence woven into the land itself.Resources MentionedSasquatch, The Legend (Forks, WA Bigfoot store & museum project)https://sasquatchthelegend.comSasquatch Island (Facebook Group)https://www.facebook.com/groups/753712284709607Chinook Jargon / Chinook Trade Language (reference discussed)https://www.chinookjargon.com

What happens when God's people pray with desperation, trust, and surrender?In this message, J.T. Coleman teaches from 1 Samuel 1–2 on Hannah's prayer and how God works through honest, surrendered prayer — not only in individual lives, but across generations. Hannah brought her deepest pain to God, trusted Him without immediate affirmation, and placed her greatest desire into His hands. God used her faithfulness in ways far beyond what she could see, ultimately pointing us to Jesus.This message also challenges families and the church to pray boldly for the next generation, trusting God to move in ways we may not immediately see.

Ben and Rob head back to Forks for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the third (and somehow most openly unhinged) entry in the glittery supernatural mega-franchise. The one where the love triangle becomes a war movie, the subtext becomes text, and everyone suddenly starts giving speeches like they're in a fantasy epic instead of a rainy teen melodrama. Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner (now operating at full shirtless protector mode), Eclipse finds Bella caught between eternal vampiric marriage and extremely mortal werewolf abs, while Seattle is being terrorised by an army of newborn vampires and the franchise quietly pivots into X-Men: Forks Edition.But what is Eclipse, exactly? A romance? A war film? A lore dump disguised as a graduation party? Why does this chapter feel like the moment the series decides it has important things to say especially when the Mormon coded themes of chastity, marriage, and forever commitment stop being coy and basically grab a megaphone? Mormon Subtext becomes Mormon TEXT, and Ben and Rob dig into how that shift reshapes Bella's choices and the series' worldview.Along the way: questionable battle strategies, bizarre backstories, accidental comedy, and the way Eclipse retroactively changes how the whole franchise works. Which choices genuinely land? Which feel baffling? And which make you pause the movie just to ask if that's how that really works?Most importantly, beneath the speeches, the slow-motion running, and the aggressively chaste yearning, what does Eclipse really mean?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS!

In remarks recently published by Qiushi, the Chinese Communist Party's flagship journal used to convey policy intentions, Xi Jinping called for a “powerful currency” widely used in international trade, investment, and foreign-exchange markets. What's new about these remarks is not their intended ambition, but rather how clearly those ambitions are stated to the public. Xi paired this plan with calls for a stronger central bank, globally competitive financial institutions, and tighter control of systemic financial risks.

Greg Alba and Tara Erickson dive into their reaction and review of Catherine Hardwicke's 2008 young adult fantasy romance Twilight, the film that launched a pop-culture phenomenon and redefined teen romance for a generation. Based on Stephenie Meyer's bestselling novel, Twilight follows awkward new girl Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart, Spencer, Still Alice) as she moves to the rainy town of Forks, Washington and becomes irresistibly drawn to her mysterious classmate Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson, The Batman, Tenet), who harbors a dangerous supernatural secret. The film is packed with instantly iconic moments, from Edward's supernatural save in the school parking lot and the biology-class tension, to the moody baseball game set to Muse, and the unforgettable revelation of Edward sparkling in the sunlight. As Bella is pulled deeper into Edward's world, the story introduces key figures like Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner, Abduction, The Ridiculous 6), whose friendship complicates Bella's loyalties, and members of the Cullen family including Alice Cullen (Ashley Greene, Bombshell, Aftermath) and Carlisle Cullen (Peter Facinelli, Nurse Jackie, The Unborn). We break down the film's brooding atmosphere, its mix of romance and danger, and why Twilight remains such a polarizing yet enduring entry in YA fantasy cinema.

Ben and Rob return to Forks for The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009), the moodier, louder, and somehow even more emotionally chaotic sequel that turned a teen vampire romance into a full-blown blockbuster franchise. Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner (now with significantly more screen time and significantly fewer shirts), New Moon finds Bella Swan reeling from heartbreak, spiraling into supernatural depression, and discovering that if one dangerous immortal boyfriend disappears, there's always a pack of extremely buff werewolves waiting in the wings.What is New Moon, exactly? a breakup drama, a monster movie, or two hours of staring out rainy windows set to indie rock? how does the film immediately escalate the Team Edward vs. Team Jacob love triangle into a full-on cultural battleground? and how does the sequel double down on the series' Mormon coded ideas about chastity, eternal commitment, and “don't even think about it” desire (aka Mormon Subtext 2: Chastity Boogaloo)? With a bigger budget and bigger expectations, what changes behind the camera and on screen? Does the expanded action, globe-trotting vampire politics, and slow-motion wolf running actually improve things? and at what point does this movie quietly turn into Top Gun for werewolves? Which choices genuinely work, which are baffling, and which feel completely unhinged? How did New Moon transform teenage longing into an international event movie?

In Part 4 of our series Prayer Is the Fix for 2026, Pastor Todd unpacks the line from the Lord's Prayer:“Give us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11).This message explores what it means to live with daily dependence on God—not only for physical provision, but for spiritual strength, peace, and direction. We're reminded that prayer invites humility, honesty, and a hunger for God to meet us in our real needs.Whether you're facing a difficult season or simply longing to grow deeper in your prayer life, this message encourages you to trust God for today.

Man hat schon damit gerechnet: Valve verschiebt die Steam Machine, natürlich wegen der anhaltenden Speicherkrise. Spätestens jetzt wäre ein konkreter Termin und ein Preis zu verkünden gewesen, stattdessen heißt es jetzt erste Jahreshälfte. Als kleiner Trost bestätigt Valve, weiter an VRR über HDMI zu arbeiten und daneben auch an einem verbesserten Upscaler. Damit kann eigentlich nur FSR 4 gemeint sein. Inoffizielle Implementierungen von FSR 4 (oder FSR AI wie es inzwischen heißt) für RDNA 2 und RDNA 3 gibt es auf Linux schon länger über Forks von Proton oder auf Windows über Optiscaler. Eine offizielle Version für die älteren Architekturen, oder zumindest für RDNA 3, wäre aber sehr begrüßenswert. Und überfällig. AMDs CEO Dr. Lisa Su hat im Conference Call zu den letzten Geschäftszahlen wohl Microsoft überrumpelt und verkündet, dass der SoC für die nächste Xbox 2027 bereit sei. Grundsätzlich sind bisher auch alle (bis auf André Peschke) davon ausgegangen, dass die nächsten Konsolen 2027 erscheinen würden. Aber dann kam die ganze Sache mit dem Speicher. Und jetzt ist vermutlich auch Microsoft nicht mehr sicher, ob die nächste Xbox 2027 erscheinen wird. Viel Spaß mit Folge 294!

In the Williams Broadcasting Studio join John with special guests Emily and Zack from Northern Outdoors in The Forks , Maine talking snowmobiling!!

On this episode of Forks BS we discuss the proposed Ray Richards Golf Course replat and rezoning for UND-led development — including multi-family housing, commercial space and a SweetShot-style driving range — and the strong neighborhood opposition from nearby residents and local business owners. We also cover national and regional news around federal ICE operations in Minneapolis, the resulting protests and political fallout involving Mayor Jacob Frey, Governor Tim Walz and public figures, plus local updates, sponsor messages and a reminder to call or text the show at 701-213-0863.

Weirdos!! It's here! the second deep dive into the twisted world of the Twilight Saga! Grab your brown-tinted filters and emotional support glitter, because Ash and Alaina are back in Forks for a full-throttle deep dive into New Moon. For this month's BONUS EPISODE we're unpacking Edward's dramatic exit, Bella's months-long depression montage (hello, spinning seasons), and the introduction of a jort-wearing werewolf jamborees: Jacob Black. We debate whether ghost Edward is helpful or wildly unhinged, and try to make sense of the Volturi's whole vibe!  There's chaos, hot takes, and Bella imitations that will make you howl!  Light a candle, stare moodily out a window, and join us, because the angst is real, the wolves are howling, and we're all #TeamMessy!

Bella hangs out with Jacob and the Quileutes and learns some of their ancient (but plot-relevant) history. Then she hangs out with Jasper and learns his ancient (but plot-relevant) history. Based on Jasper's experience, the Cullens figure out that somebody is raising an army of vampires in Seattle, probably intended to attack the vampires of Forks. That's not good, but it's no reason to cancel the graduation party that Bella doesn't want to have. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ We are Alice Sullivan, Micah Sparkman, and Jeff Lake.Find our other podcasts at armadillo.club!Music: CHASIN' IT by Jason Shaw, licensed under CC-BY 3.0.

From the archives, first aired on May, 2024, I feel that this was one of our most impactful and important episodes.In this poignant and unexpected episode of Peace Love Moto, we take a detour from our planned celebration of the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride to reflect on a chance encounter that left a lasting mark.While enjoying a quiet afternoon ride to "The Forks" near the Wyoming border, our host crosses paths with a young woman named Laura. Walking alone toward a busy highway and talking to herself, Laura serves as a sudden, heartbreaking reminder of the fragility of the human mind and the invisibility of those suffering from mental illness.

Something keeps showing up in the same kinds of places — long after the stories fade and the people move on.In this episode of Bigfoot Society, voices from across the country share experiences that stayed with them for years before ever being spoken out loud. The locations vary, the details don't always match, and yet certain patterns repeat in unsettling ways.You'll hear about nights when the woods responded suddenly, properties where activity returned no matter what was done to stop it, and moments that changed how people moved through familiar land forever.Some of these accounts come from childhood memories. Others surfaced after a single night that never truly ended for the people involved.Taken together, they form a larger picture — one that only becomes clear when you hear every voice.If you pay attention, you'll notice the connections.Listen closely.

HEART OF DARKNESS AND THE OHIO COMPANY LAND GRAB Colleague Professor Robert G. Parkinson. The book's title draws on Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness to describe the bewilderment and horror inherent in the 18th-century American backcountry. In 1754, George Washington retreated through Oldtown, Maryland, the home of the Cresap family, following a failed expedition against the French. Washington and the Cresaps were partners in the Ohio Company, a speculative venture claiming half a million acres of Native land near the Forks of the Ohio. This era was marked by imprecise maps and border disputes between colonies like Maryland and Pennsylvania, creating a chaotic environment where land speculators operated like rival tribes. NUMBER 2

he Caudine Forks and the Dangers of Half-Measures — Gaius & Germanicus — Germanicus and Gaius center their discussion on the instructive Roman historical lesson of the Caudine Forks: a victor must either completely annihilate the enemy or embrace them as genuine allies; choosing the treacherous middle path of ritual humiliation and subordination ensures future vengeance and perpetual instability. Germanicus applies this ancient strategic principle to contemporary geopolitics, arguing that the United States consistently fails this historical test by demanding submission—symbolized by forcing nations beneath the ritualistic "yoke"—without achieving total conquest that transforms hostile nations into obedient subordinate "bricks" within a durable imperial structure. Gaius and Germanicus cite the Treaty of Versailles and the post-Cold War treatment of Russia as prime historical examples where deliberate humiliation without comprehensive conquest bred lasting resentment rather than durable peace, establishing the foundation for subsequent conflicts and nationalist backlash. Germanicus characterizes this approach as reflecting American "narcissism," the desire for dominance without willingness to wage total war, thereby explaining systemic American failures in Iraq, Afghanistan, and contemporary tensions with Iran. Germanicus and Gaius warn against applying this "halfway yoke" framework to emerging challenges with Venezuela or Russia, instead counseling that it is strategically safer to permit regimes to decay internally through entropy rather than provoke nationalist backlash through external military or political pressure. Gaius concludes by characterizing current European leaders as "aggressive dependents" psychologically clinging to the Ukraine conflict to artificially preserve their own fragile domestic political authority and suppress internal dissent regarding failing governance.

2. Washington, Land Speculation, and the Heart of American Darkness Professor Robert G. Parkinson, Heart of American Darkness: Bewilderment and Horror on the Early Frontier This section explores the theme of "bewilderment" on the American frontier, drawing parallels to Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. The conversation notes the intense confusion and tribal conflicts involving colonials, Native Americans, the French, and the British. A key focus is George Washington's role as a land speculator and partner in the Ohio Company. The company sought vast lands near the Forks of the Ohio (Pittsburgh). The Cresap family patriarch, Thomas Cresap, and his oldest son, Daniel, were original partners, making the Cresaps well-known to Washington and integral to the colonial advance that escalated tensions with the French.

We're taking our taste buds on a weekend adventure around Walt Disney World — from resort bites and zero-proof sips to full-on feasts and sweet endings. We kicked things off Thursday at Disney's Port Orleans Riverside, grabbing a bite before heading to Disney Springs for an evening of food and fun. Summer House on the Lake's zero-proof cocktails, like the Pineapple Kick and Sparkling Rosé Lemonade, are perfect examples of how non-alcoholic doesn't have to mean boring, although this trip the pizza did not quite hit the mark. From there, we couldn't resist a stop at Gideon's Bakehouse, where we tried seasonal sweets like the Bride of Frankenstein Cookie, the Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookie, and the PB & Jelly Cake.Friday's lineup was a true flavor rollercoaster. Between lemon pepper chicken tenders at Magic Kingdom and a trip off-property for Benihana's, our taste buds covered just about every texture and temperature possible. Saturday brought one of our favorite types of Disney days — eat, explore, repeat. From Karamel Küche's Caramel Gingerbread Cookie Sandwich to the hearty rolls at Ale & Compass, smoky brisket from The Polite Pig, and Indian-inspired flavors at EET by Maneet Chauhan, the variety was endless. Sunday wrapped things up on the sweetest note possible — cookies from Summer House, a relaxed meal at The Boathouse, and a festive finale at Scat Cat's Café with Ghoulish Beignets and an Agave Garden mocktail that proved Disney's zero-proof game is getting strong.From sugar highs to savory standouts, this weekend reminded us why Disney dining never gets old — there's always something new to taste, try, and talk about on Main Street Magic.
