In this episode of True Tales From Old Houses, Stacy and Daniel share spring updates, answer a fireplace Q&A, and chat with new innkeeper Rod Whale about embracing history, Acadian heritage, and the adventure of old house ownership at one of Canada's oldest inns. Stacy and Daniel ease into the episode by chatting about the seasonal shift and sharing a few listener follow-ups from past episodes. After that, they dive into a fireplace-themed question from Amanda, using their own real-life experiences to weigh the pros and cons of gas versus wood-burning setups—highlighting safety, maintenance, and what works best for different types of old houses. Later in the episode, Stacy and Daniel chat with Rod Whale, the new owner of the Bailey House Inn in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. Rod shares how he went from crunching numbers and restoring antiques to running one of the oldest inns in Canada. He talks about the building's condition and the rich local history that drew him in. Rod is incredibly passionate about honoring the Acadian story and preserving the cultural heritage of the region. As he prepares for his first full season, his excitement is contagious, and his love for the Bailey House and its place in the community is unmistakable.

I am thrilled to have the incredible Sam McLemore on the show this week. Sam is a true champion of empowering women to achieve financial independence and leads a prolific career in investing.    In this episode, we dive deep into Sam's fascinating life, starting from her childhood in Vermont, where she grew up with parents who had contrasting views on money. These early exposures to money, working from a young age, and navigating financial anxieties shaped her relentless drive to never be dependent on anyone financially.    Sam shares how her father's introduction to the stock market during her teenage years sparked her interest in investments, which fueled her pursuit of a finance career, eventually working with legendary investor Bill Miller.    Sam's journey is marked by calculated career and investment moves, including buying her first house just a year out of college and trying to live an aspirational life as a Vermont innkeeper` – a challenging yet illuminating experience.    As the founder and managing member of Patient Capital, Sam discusses her vision for creating a highly trusted, investor-friendly firm, and shares her passion for supporting other women in finance. We talk about balancing career and family life, the importance of instilling financial values in her children, and her drive to integrate principles of stoicism and mindfulness into her business practices.   Key Topics: Opposites attract in money values Sam's early anxiety around money and how her dad influenced her to start investing Starting university with a chemistry major and ending with a business degree How meeting Bill Miller gave Sam an early launch into the investment and finance field Building equity by buying her first house one year out of university Finding satisfaction and fulfillment from saving money Aspiring to become a Vermont innkeeper in 2011 How her money mindset shifted after selling the inn Setting a goal to get more women into investing  Instilling good money values in your kids without an inherent struggle mindset How Sam is starting to see her values take shape in her business Bringing the ideals of Stoicism and Buddhism into finance and investing     Connect with Samantha online:    Website: https://patientcapitalmanagement.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/patient-capital-management-llc/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/samantha-mclemore/ X: https://x.com/patientcm Find more from Syama Bunten:   Instagram: @syama.co, @gettingrichpod Website: https://syamabunten.com/ Download Syama's Guide to Getting Rich: www.syamabunten.com  Women & Wealth Catalyst Summit: https://women.win/ Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we explore the world of haunted or otherwise cursed Hollywood films which are quite a bit more numerous, violent and even deadlier than you would first imagine. In the free section of the show we discuss the weird monsters hidden in Return to Babylon, Ti West's Innkeepers and House of the Devil, The Amityville Horror remake, the Dybbuk of The Possession and of course the grizzly deaths associated with the curse of The Omen. In the extended show we go for all the heavy hitters and tell the tale of the misfortune's associated with The Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Conjuring, Dark Water (along with some Los Angeles true crime history), the infamous tragedies that orbit Polanski's  Rose Mary's Baby and of course the deadly controversies surrounding Spielberg's Poltergeist. Along the way we also speculate about the occult principles which make haunted movies and cursed films even possible in the first place. Thank you and enjoy the show! In this week's episode we discuss:Ghosts of Return to BabylonTi West's “Innkeepers”The Omen HexThe Dibbuk of The PossessionAmityville Horror RemakeThe Pimp Slap of Goodnight LaneIn the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go quite a bit further and explore the dark side of:The Exorcism of Emily RoseThe ConjuringDark Water and Elisa LamThe Secrets of Rosemary's BabyAndTHE POLTERGEIST! Where to find The Whole Rabbit:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbitTwitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbitOrder Stickers: https://www.stickermule.com/thewholerabbitOther Merchandise: https://thewholerabbit.myspreadshop.com/Music By Spirit Travel Plaza:https://open.spotify.com/artist/30dW3WB1sYofnow7y3V0YoSources: Available on our Patreon page. Support the show

– “Do not let it get to the pond. It will eat our fish!”My Ninja Turtle dance began in the pouring rain, my umbrella in one hand and the shovel in the other.Sondra Edwards, wife, mother of two, grandmother of five, children's minister, and music educator, lives in the mountains of Boone, North Carolina.

Reunited and driven by purpose, the party began laying the groundwork for their next steps. With llofty goals to expose the truth behind the Bishop's role in the Raelund Regicide, they set their sights on the Sacred Order. Finavir and Vaeolin sought out Kristoph Ironbound, a once ally to the current Finavir. The meeting with Kristoph was hampered by the undesired presence of other members of the cultish group. And with some confusion about Finavir's presence outside the Temple, Kristoph's trust seemed strained. With wary words, Kristoph left the party with a cryptic message that hinted to meeting him in the graveyard. But when the party arrived, no man was to be found; only a note covered in the wax drippings of candlelight snuffed out. And in the back of Finavir's mind, something changed. But we will have to see how the threads of time, when plucked, resonate.Support Us:Please consider contributing to the production of the podcast.Patreon: https://patreon.com/missingrollplayerfoundAbout:The Gate Chronicles (aka TGC) is an actual play RPG run in the Pathfinder RPG system.

Recipe - Pistachio Shortbread Cookies Dipped in White Chocolate: 2 sticks of butter, room temp 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 cups GF all-purpose flour 1 cup pistachios, chopped & without shells 4oz white chocolate (for dipping) Add the sugar and beat together with the butter. Just beat until combined and no more, we don't want to incorporate any air here. Add the flour and mix until it starts to form clumps and looks like large chunky breadcrumbs. Ditch the spoon and use your hands to bring it together into a smooth dough. Roughly chop the pistachios and add ⅔ of them into the shortbread dough. Reserve the other third of them to sprinkle on top later. Use your hands to knead the pistachios into the dough so they are evenly dispersed. Don't overwork the dough. Shape the dough into a log shape, and chill in the fridge for an hour. Bake on a cookie sheet with parchment paper for 12-18 mins at 350 degrees.  While they're baking, melt the white chocolate and then dip the cookies about half way once they're cooled. Immediately sprinkle with the leftover pistachios you reserved earlier. Let them set (about 5-10 mins), and enjoy! Be sure to leave us a review and share with your friends. Thank you for listening!

From the Archive! Dr. Tom Curran asks Fr. Kurt Nagel about many different important figures in the Advent story leading up to Christ's birth: What does St. John the Baptist teach us about Advent? Was Joseph young or old? How are we like the Innkeeper? Why did God use Caesar Augustus to bring about the prophecy?

The birth of Jesus wasn't just the beginning of a sweet story—it was a bold declaration of war to redeem humanity. In this special Christmas episode of Your Biggest Breakthrough, we dive deep into a cosmic perspective of Jesus' arrival, exploring what was happening in the heavenly realms during that holy night. Inspired by Charles Martin's vivid account, we discuss the spiritual battle, the ultimate rescue mission, and what it means for us today.This isn't the soft, cuddly nativity story we often picture. It's a gripping narrative of redemption and victory, one that transforms how we view Christmas forever. Lean in to hear a fresh perspective, and get ready to see the birth of Jesus like never before. You might find yourself more connected to the story—and your Savior—than you've ever been.Chapter:[00:00] Podcast Preview[00:40] Podcast Introduction[01:04] Christmas Season and Its Meaning[01:23] Different Perspectives on Jesus' Birth[02:19] Cosmic Perspective of Jesus' Birth[03:28] Jesus' Birth as a Declaration of War[04:14] Introduction to Charles Martin's Book[07:02] Arrival in Bethlehem[08:06] The Innkeeper's Reluctance[09:01] The Birth in the Stable[10:11] Heavenly Perspective Shift[13:11] The King's Departure from Heaven[15:00] The Rescue Mission[17:00] Return to the Stable[19:00] Prophecies and Reflections[20:30] Jesus' True Nature and Mission[22:01] Conclusion and Call to ActionCall to action:Make sure to visit yourbiggestbreakthrough.com for your FREE access to our e-book and audiobook, "Unstoppable: Divine Intervention in Overcoming Adversity," showcasing six powerful real-life stories.

Keturah didn't know it, but when she hid in her family's stable that dark, star-filled night, she was in for a big surprise! Regularly cast aside because of her crippled hands, God had carefully chosen this young, Hebrew girl to be part of His miraculous entrance into the world! The Innkeeper's Daughter is a tender, whimsical story that gives you a glimpse of what might have happened in the stable on the night Jesus was born. Written and narrated by Jill Briscoe, children and adults will be captivated by her vivid descriptions of the stable and the many unusual visitors who came. Follow little Keturah inside the cramped, smelly barn and see what she saw: talking animals, chubby angels, regal wise men, and ultimately, the King of Kings, whose coming wasn't the only miracle that night!

What kept the Innkeeper from having a personal experience with the Savior? And do we sometimes make the same mistake?

When we hear the Christmas story, we often imagine the innkeeper as the gruff proprietor of a commercial hotel, but … that's not really what – or who – he was. Today, Ryan shares the story of this man's radical hospitality.

This Advent we're conducting a Christmas Scene Investigation to sleuth out how the differences between our magical, mythical conceptions of Christmas differ from the Biblical reality of Christmas.Title: The InnScripture Reading: Luke 2:7 NIV (1984)Today we conduct an INNvestigation of the "I" in CSI which is Inn. We ask two questions: 1. So where? 2. So what? 

In this episode of The Gateway to Joy Podcast, we continue our series of Christmas stories We share Gateway to Joy radio programs: - Christmastime - Christmas in Prison We also hear from special guests: - Jim Howard - Valerie Elliot Shepard --------- Special thanks to Mike Dize and the Bible Broadcasting Network. Theme music: John Hanson. Visit www.ElisabethElliot.org for more lectures, devotionals, videos, Gateway to Joy programs, and other resources.

A ‘thrill' is essentially ‘enjoyably nervous excitement'—the kind we feel on roller coasters or in suspenseful movies. But poets from our faith tradition often describe the feeling of Christmas as ‘The Thrill of Hope'. Every year, the December air is thick with it. Ancient songwriters and storytellers seemed to believe the birth of Jesus somehow stirs up a sense that things are going to get better in the hearts of those on the verge of giving up. This is especially profound when you realize who they claim first felt this thrill—people on the fringe: nameless shepherds, an invisible innkeeper, an unprepared father. And yet their roles in this story changed all of human history. So what if what God did for them that first Christmas is something He longs to do in you this Christmas—to show you the significance of your role in His story & instill in you a hope every bit as thrilling as it is fulfilling.

Ever wondered what the Edgar Cayce readings say about the birth of Jesus? In this episode, sample a snapshot of the rich and wondrous view offered in the Edgar Cayce readings of a community of people who prepared for and the arrival of a Teacher who from the first moment of his life transformed all he came in contact with. In this conversation, Corinne Cayce and Dr. Arlene Dijamco invite you and your family into a visceral experience of Jesus's birth through the eyes of the Innkeeper's daughter—and offer simple practices to fold into your holiday to cultivate the sacredness of this season.

Our stories today have us deep into holiday excitement in the Village. We'll stop by the bookstore in Snow and Streetlights and pursue the shelves, sip some hot cocoa, and smile at the merriment in downtown. Then we'll unwrap the buildings of the little Christmas village, plugging in their bulbs and arranging them on the tree skirt in Under the Tree. Finally, we'll head out to the Inn, where they are getting ready for a week of guests. The mantle is decorated, and from the windows in the ballroom, you can see the ice spreading on the lake in The Innkeeper's Holiday. Order your own NMH weighted pillow now!  Follow us on Instagram!

The typical teenager has a room full of stuff. And that room is a METAPHOR for life. What will they keep? What will they toss? What will they make space for? The Barbie collection they started at age six? The Nintendo games they no longer play? And what's true of bedrooms and garages is also true of calendars and relationships. Every yes is (also) a no - because you do not have unlimited time or unlimited space (for everyone and everything).

Message from Greg Neal on December 15, 2024

Theology Spark Episode #5 When most people think of that first Christmas many years ago, they often picture a mean innkeeper turning Mary and Joseph away because there was no room at his inn. While this is a common part of the Christmas story, the evidence doesn't actually support the existence of an innkeeper—or even an inn at all.

They do this because a) NYC is the media capital of the world; b) the city is a lot of fun; and, c) sometimes mountain folks like something different too, just like us city folks (meaning me), like to get to the mountains as much as possible. But I spend all winter traveling the country in search of ski areas of all sizes and varieties. This is the one time of year skiing comes to me. And it's pretty cool.One of the associations that consistently hosts an NYC event is Ski Utah. This year, they set up at the Arlo Soho, a chic Manhattan hotel. Longtime President Nathan Rafferty asked if I would be interested in setting up an interview station, talking to resort reps, and stringing them together into a podcast. It was a terrific idea, so here you go.Who* Nathan Rafferty, President of Ski Utah* Sara Huey, Senior Manager of Communications at Park City Mountain Resort* Sarah Sherman, Communications Manager at Snowbird* Nick Como, VP of Marketing at Sundance* Rosie O'Grady, President and Innkeeper of Alta Lodge* Jessica Turner, PR Manager for Go Heber Valley* Taylor Hartman, Director of Marketing and Communications at Visit Ogden* Brooks Rowe, Brand Manager at Snowbasin* Riley Elliott, Communications Specialist at Deer Valley* Andria Huskinson, Communications and PR Manager at Solitude* Anna Loughridge, PR Manager for Visit Utah* Courtney Ryan, Communications Manager for Visit Park City* Ryan Mack, VP of Communications for Visit Salt LakeRecorded onOctober 3, 2024About Ski UtahMost large ski states have a statewide trade group that represents its ski areas' interests. One of the best of these is Ski Utah, which is armed with a large staff, a generous budget, and some pretty good freaking skiing to promote (Buckskin, Utah Olympic Park, and Wasatch Peaks Ranch are not members of Ski Utah):What we talked aboutSKI UTAHTopicsWhy NYC; the Olympics return to Utah; why the state is such a great place to host the games (besides, you know, the awesome skiing); where we could potentially see future ski area development in Utah; Pow Mow's shift toward public-private hybrid; Deer Valley's expansion and ongoing snowboard ban; and the proposed LCC Gondola – “Little Cottonwood Canyon is not a great place for rubber-wheeled vehicles.”On Utah skier visits and population growth over timeOn chairlifts planned in Utah over the next three yearsUtah is on a chairlift-building binge, with the majority slated for Deer Valley's massive expansion (11) and Powder Mountain (4 this year; 1 in 2025). But Snowbird (Wilbere quad), Park City (Sunrise Gondola), and Snowbasin (Becker high-speed quad) are also scheduled to install new machines this year or next. The private Wasatch Peaks Ranch will also add two lifts (a gondola and a high-speed quad) this year. And Sundance is likely to install what resort officials refer to as the “Flathead lift” some time within the next two years. The best place to track scheduled lift installations is Lift Blog's new lifts databases for 2024, 2025, and 2026.On expansion potential at Brian Head and Nordic ValleyUtah's two largest expansion opportunities are at Brian Head and Nordic Valley, both operated by Mountain Capital Partners. Here's Brian Head today:The masterplan could blow out the borders - the existing ski area is in the lower-right-hand corner:And here's Nordic Valley:And the masterplan, which could supersize the ski area to 3,000-ish acres. The small green blob represents part of the existing ski area, though this plan predates the six-pack installation in 2020:PARK CITY MOUNTAIN RESORTStats: 3,226 vertical feet | 7,300 skiable acres | 355 inches average annual snowfallTopicsSnowmaking upgrades; the forthcoming Sunrise Gondola on the Canyons side; why this gondola didn't face the opposition that Park City's last lift upgrades did; Olympic buzz in Park City; and which events PCMR could host in the 2034 Olympics.On the Great Lift Shutdown of 2022Long story short: Vail tried to upgrade two lifts in Park City a couple of years ago. Locals got mad. The lifts went to Whistler. Here's the longer version:More Park City Mountain ResortSNOWBIRDStats: 3,240 vertical feet | 2,500 skiable acres | 500 inches average annual snowfallTopicsThe new Wilbere lift; why Snowbird shifted the chairlift line; the upside of abandoning the old liftline; riding on top of the new tram; and more LCC gondola talk.On the new Wilbere lift alignmentHere's where the new Wilbere lift sits (right) in comparison to the old lift (left):On inter-lodgeIf you happen to be at the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon when avalanche danger spikes, you may be subject to something called “inter-lodge.” Which means you stay in whatever building you're in, with no option to leave. It's scary and thrilling all at once.Inter-lodge can last anywhere from under an hour to several days.On the LCC gondola and phase-in planAnother long story short: UDOT wants to build a gondola up Little Cottonwood Canyon. A lot of people would prefer to spend four hours driving seven miles to the ski areas. Here's a summary of UDOT's chosen configuration:As multiple lawsuits seeking to shut the project down work through the courts, UDOT has outlined a phased traffic-mitigation approach:More SnowbirdSUNDANCE Stats: 2,150 vertical feet | 450 skiable acres | 300 inches average annual snowfallTopicsThe importance of NYC to the wider skiing world; how the Wildwood terrain helped evolve Sundance; Epkon refugees headed south; parking improvements; options for the coming Flathead terrain expansion; and potential lift switcheroos. More SundanceSundance's new owners have been rapidly modernizing this once-dusty ski area, replacing most of the lifts, expanding terrain, and adding parking. I talked through the grand arc of these changes with the mountain's GM, Chad Linebaugh, a couple of years ago:ALTA LODGEAlta stats: 3,240 vertical feet | 2,500 skiable acres | 500 inches average annual snowfallTopics65 years of Levitt family ownership; Alta's five lodges; inter-lodge; how Alta has kept its old-school spirit even as it's modernized; and an upcoming women's ski event. On Alta's lift evolutionIt wasn't so long ago that Alta was known for its pokey lift fleet. As recently as the late ‘90s, the mountain was a chutes-and-ladders powder playground:Bit by bit, Alta consolidated and updated its antique lift fleet, beginning with the Sugarloaf high-speed quad in 2001. The two-stage Collins high-speed quad arrived three years later, replacing the legacy Collins double and Germania triple lines. The Supreme high-speed quad similarly displaced the old Supreme triple and Cecret double in 2017, and the Sunnyside sixer replaced the Albion double and Sunnyside high-speed triple in 2022. As of 2024, the only clunker left, aside from the short hotel lifts and the long transfer tow, is the Wildcat double.GO HEBER VALLEYTopicsWhy Heber Valley makes sense as a place to crash on a ski trip; walkable sections of Heber; ease of access to Deer Valley; and elevation.VISIT OGDENConsidering “untamed and untouched” Ogden as ski town; “it's like skiing in 2005”; Pow Mow, Snowbasin; accessing the mountains from Ogden; Pow Mow's partial privatization; art on the mountain; and Nordic Valley as locals' bump.  On Powder Mountain size claimsPow Mow has long claimed 8,000-ish acres of terrain, which would make it the largest ski area in the United States. I typically only count lift-served skiable acreage, however, bringing the mountain down to a more average-for-the-Wasatch 3,000-ish acres. A new lift in Wolf Canyon next year will add another 900 lift-served acres (shaded with stripes on the right-hand side below).On Nordic Valley's fire and the broken Apollo liftLast December, Nordic Valley's Apollo chairlift, a 1970 Hall double, fell over dead, isolating the mountain's glorious expansion from the base area. The next month, a fire chewed up the baselodge, a historic haybarn left over from the property's ranching days. Owner MCP renovated the chairlift over the summer, but Nordic will operate out of “temporary structures,” GM Pascal Begin told KSL.com in June, until they can build a new baselodge, which could be 2026 or '27.SNOWBASINStats: 3,015 vertical feet | 3,000 skiable acres | 300 inches average annual snowfallTopicsBreaking down the coming Becker lift upgrade; why Becker before Porcupine; last year's DeMoisy six-pack installation; where is everyone?; where to ski at Snowbasin; the 2034 Olympics plan; when will on-mountain lodging arrive?; and RFID.More SnowbasinDEER VALLEYStats: 3,040 vertical feet | 2,342 skiable acres | 300 inches average annual snowfallTopicsMassive expansion; avoiding Park City; and snowmaking in the Wasatch Back.On Expanded ExcellenceDeer Valley's expansion plans are insane.

Details here.On Park City and Deer Valley's shared borderPark City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley share a border, but you are forbidden to cross it, on penalty of death.* Alta and Snowbird share a crossable border, as do Solitude and Brighton. All four have different operators. I'm not sure why PCMR and Deer Valley can't figure this one out.*This is not true.^^Though actually it might be true.VISIT SALT LAKETopicsThe easiest ski access in the world; why stay in SLC during a ski trip; walkable downtown; free transit; accessing the ski areas without a car; Olympic buzz; and Olympic events outside of the ski areas.What I got wrong* I said that former mayor Michael Bloomberg tried to bring the Olympics to NYC “around 2005 or 2006.” The city's bid was for the 2012 Summer Olympics (ultimately held in London). I also said that local opposition shut down the bid, but I confused that with the proposed stadium on what is now Manhattan's Hudson Yards development.* I said you had to drive through Park City to access Deer Valley, but the ski area has long maintained a small parking lot at the base of the Jordanelle Gondola off of US 40.The robots aren't readyEveryone keeps telling me that the robots will eat our souls, but every time I try to use them, they botch something that no human would ever miss. In this case, I tried using my editing program's AI to chop out the dead space and “ums,” and proceeded to lose bits of the conversation that in some cases confuse the narrative. So it sounds a little choppy in places. You can blame the robots. Or me for not re-doing the edit once I figured out what was happening.The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

This week we welcome back special guest and Enneagram 3, AJ Sherrill.  This time, we explore AJ's journey of spiritual direction, his insights on the Enneagram, and his new book, Rediscovering Christmas: Surprising Insights into the Story You Thought You Knew. We discuss the importance of slowing down during the busy holiday season, the emotional homes we all have, and how the Christmas story can be re-examined through a fresh lens. We explore the fascinating characters from the Nativity, including the often-overlooked roles of the Innkeeper, Zechariah, and Herod, and how their stories resonate with our own lives today. Join us as we reflect on the deeper meanings beneath the story and what it truly means to encounter the divine. Plus, we speculate on the Enneagram types of various biblical figures and how their stories can guide us in our spiritual growth. This episode is packed with insights and humor that you won't want to miss!  

Our story tonight is called All Hallows' Eve at the Inn, and it's the third in our special Halloween series this year. It's about the Innkeeper and her trusty sidekick Sycamore as they ready the Inn for guests on a dark October eve. It's also about carved pumpkins that line the great staircase, a blurry face in an old photo, a bubbling cauldron of punch in the ballroom, a costume purchased from the thrift store, and a forgotten tradition brought back to life. We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Save a Fox Sanctuary.
