Send us a textA “short day” on the Temagami River can still knock the wind out of you. We set out expecting easy miles and found five portages, two line-throughs, low water, and a masterclass in patience instead. Between scraping rental hulls and threading skinny lines through swifts, we had to read the river moment by moment—scout when the tongue vanished, line when rocks stacked too tight, and save our pride for camp. It wasn't epic in distance, but it was rich in decisions, teamwork, and small wins that add up.We walk through how low water changes everything: where V's lie, how eddies give you breath, and why a gentle pillow can signal a lurking boulder. You'll hear our decision tree for run vs. line, how we split loads on back-to-back portages, and the subtle cues that tell you when to step out and rope the canoe. We also talk mindset—keeping humour when progress crawls, measuring success in clean ferries rather than kilometres, and staying safe without killing the fun. The Temagami River demanded respect; we paid it with caution, conversation, and a few fresh scratches.The day ends the way river days should: at Greg's Escape from Reality cabin, warm food on the way, and a quiet room that lets the stories breathe. We share shout-outs to friends like Thunderbox Diaries, compare notes on route choices, and build a few takeaways for your next trip. If you're planning a canoe route with variable water levels, you'll pick up practical tips on scouting, lining, and pacing a team through “short” days that aren't. Hit play, settle in, and then tell us your best trick for tight, rocky swifts.If you enjoyed the journey, follow along on Instagram, Facebook, BlueSky, YouTube, and Spotify, and send us a note at hi@supergoodcamping.com.

Send us a textWarm October sun, a gentle river, and the sweet spot between skills and ease—day two on Temagami delivered a slow-burn kind of joy. We kept the mileage short, dialled in our teamwork over breakfast, and spent the afternoon playing in friendly rapids with boats light and smiles wide. If you've wondered how to design a canoe-camping day that builds confidence without chasing distance, this is the blueprint.We break down the day from a compact portage around a falls to the practical art of ferrying and S turns—how to set an angle, read a tongue of current, and keep hips loose so the boat does the work. With the water as coach, we lap the same feature to sharpen timing and control, proving you don't need big whitewater to grow river sense. Along the shore, camp takes shape early: tents pitched, late lunch enjoyed, and a quick, bracing swim to rinse off the trail dust. The heat feels surreal for October, which brings its own lessons in layering and hydration for shoulder-season paddling.Fishing fans get their moment too. Jared hooks a solid bass and lets it go, a small but clear nod to stewardship and Leave No Trace. We talk safety without killing the vibe: why intentional swims are the only ones we'll accept, how throw bags and buddy systems add margin, and when to say yes to one more lap versus calling it a day. With a relaxed plan for tomorrow—likely a couple of small rapids, a short paddle, and a meet-up with Greg in the afternoon—we lean into the idea that a great trip balances play and planning.If you love canoe camping, Temagami routes, beginner whitewater, or simply hearing the river in the background while you plan your next adventure, you'll feel right at home here. Follow along for practical tips, warm camp stories, and the small wins that turn a simple day into a standout memory. Subscribe, share with a paddling friend, and leave a review to tell us your favourite rapid to lap or your go-to breakfast on trail.Support the showCONNECT WITH US AT SUPER GOOD CAMPING:Support the podcast & buy super cool SWAG: https://store.skgroupinc.com/super_good_camping/shop/homeEMAIL: hi@supergoodcamping.comWEBSITE: www.supergoodcamping.comYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqFDJbFJyJ5Y-NHhFseENsQINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/super_good_camping/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/SuperGoodCampinFACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuperGoodCamping/TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@supergoodcamping Support the show

Deep in Idaho's remote wilderness, three seasoned kayakers set out to conquer the legendary Middle Fork of the Salmon River—only to face the most terrifying moment of their lives. When exhaustion, overconfidence, and hidden dangers collide, Marc Nelson finds himself trapped underwater, pinned beneath logs and rocks, seconds from drowning. In that desperate moment, he hears a calm, steady voice whisper one word: “Relax.” What follows is a breathtaking account of survival, faith, and the quiet miracle that changed everything. Five years later, Marc and his friends return to the same river to confront their fear, find closure, and rediscover peace in the place that nearly took their lives. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're a fan of true crime but crave a dose of inspiration instead of tales of darkness, The Miracle Files is your perfect alternative.

Columbia River High School's football team is surging under coach DeWayne Patterson, improving to 4-1 as senior leaders fulfill their promise to restore the program's winning legacy. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/sports/high-school-football-its-on-at-columbia-river-as-the-rapids-are-on-the-rise/ #ColumbiaRiver #HighSchoolFootball #ClarkCounty #Vancouver #2AGSHL #WashingtonFootball #DeWaynePatterson #SavionMcCoy #TrentonFletch #Sports
Episode 3 of Season 6 begins with the Living Leadership Interview segment. This week I had the joy to discuss leadership philosophy, the skills great leaders utilize, and the importance of lifelong learning with Trinity alumnus Kyle Porter. Kyle is the Director of Player Performance with the Colorado Rapids who play in the Major League Soccer (MLS) Western Division. Before joining the Rapids in 2022, he worked as the Assistant Director of Sports Performance at Grand Canyon State University, the Director of Soccer Performance at FC Arizona, and owned and operated Porter Athletic Performance in which he worked with over six soccer academies and clubs. While at Trinity, Kyle was a two-year captain (2011 & 2012), won four Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) Championships, and advanced to the NCAA Division III National Tournament four times with three Sweet Sixteen appearances, and one Elite Eight appearance in 2008. He details how his Trinity experience as a Finance and Marketing major shaped his professional trajectory and the importance of his men's soccer teammates and Coach Paul McGinlay in helping him develop his leadership philosophy and approach to relationship building. During our conversation, Kyle spoke in great detail about why great leaders look first to develop relationships, paraphrasing the Teddy Roosevelt quote, "Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care." We also discussed individual and organizational trust, the importance of staying in observation mode as long as you can, and that great leaders practice empathy and compassion. Kyle also highlights the value of genuine curiosity, that the "only guarantee is that there are no guarantees," and how collaboration can lead to a positive team culture. The episode concludes with my lecture on chapter 3 of the 10th edition of Peter G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." During the segment, I highlight the evolution of skills-based approaches to studying leadership and detail Mumford et al.'s Skills Model of Leadership. Send me your thoughts and let's keep the conversation going on Twitter / X (@TingleJK) or on LinkedIn.
Hello Colorado Rapids fans. Well, that was underwhelming. This week on Holding The High Line, we break down the Rapids out of town scoreboard. The guys banter about the international break. The USMNT has two friendlies and no juice. Zack Steffen didn't get called up. He did not deserve it. We talk about Poch's every worrying comments. Also not that many of you are going to the game on Tuesday at DSGP. Then we take a high level view of the Real Salt Lake game and the Rocky Mountain Cup. Can Rapids fans take solace in retaining the Cup for the first time since in 19 years? Is the team for sure missing the playoffs? How about Cole Bassett again being played at left wing? We discuss the Chris Armas contract talks. Matt has some non-Rapids first team news to update you on. We look at playoff elimination scenarios for the weekend. Gulp.

Hello Colorado Soccer Fans. This week on Holding The High Line, the Colorado Rapids won against Houston Dynamo on a stoppage time own goal! We discuss an FC Dallas six pointer and more. The guys open with some heavy topics, discussing the gun violence from last week. Also Real Salt Lake kicked a spectator out for wearing a MAGA hat, then apologized to him publicly, and invited him back. This despite wearing political campaign material being against MLS stadium policy. RSL Twitter thinks they found the guy. He's said some bad words and suggested the club send all their foreign players back to where they came from. The we lighten things up, discussing the 2-1 win over Houston Dynamo. The home debuts from Paxten Aaronson, Rob Holding, Rafael Santos, and Alexis Manyoma were good. Cole Bassett scored on a set piece. The winner was a bit of a lucky bounce but it was a much better performance. We discuss some recent press releases from Denver Summit FC. Spoiler, they've got more season ticket holders than the Rapids have ever had, probably. Then we preview FC Dallas. Another mid team with one really good attacker. They've got Lalas Abubakar though. Oh, and Matt talks about his ideas for MLS 30 for 30 documentaries. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When the Rapids backs were against the wall, they showed absolute grit! The Colorado Rapids took the early 1-0 lead behind the one and only Cole Bassett. Then after the half, the Houston Dynamo made it interesting with their own efforts to win by tying it up during the 68th minute. But if you still believe in miracles, the Rapids provided one! Paxten Aaronson, in his home opener with the Rapids, goes on to make it look easy in the 7th minute of stoppage time. 2-1 is the final at DSGP! Connor Cape and Drew Moor had the call from Commerce City!
Welcome to the Bayou City Soccer Podcast! In this episode, the crew dives into the Houston Dynamo's frustrating draw against the LA Galaxy—a match where the Dynamo nearly let all three points slip away but managed to hold on for a draw at home. With each passing game, the opportunity to clinch a playoff spot on their own terms is slipping further out of reach, as the team continues to struggle with closing out matches late.Looking ahead, Houston travels to Colorado to face a talented Rapids squad fighting to stay above the playoff line—making it a critical matchup for both sides.We also take a closer look at the emerging talent in the city. While the development process takes time, signs of growth are already visible within the club's academy and D2 system.Plus, we call on all media outlets—big or small—to not only show up for soccer in Houston but to cover it the right way.And finally, we share the heartfelt frustrations of a passionate fan—delivered with nothing but honesty, respect, and a deep love for the game.-And much more!-We invite you to follow us at Bayou City Soccer!-BayouCitySoccer.net-@BayouCitySoccer on Facebook, IG, and Twitter-Hit us up using our hashtag #AskBCS-Hosts:@rudysegura3 on Twitter@crisputallaz on Twitter@EOchoa_8 on Twitter-Again, BayouCitySoccer.net for everything!

For the Glory KC is back with the 144th episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City broke a nearly two-month winless streak on Saturday night against the Colorado Rapids. The streak went back to their last win, also against the Rapids, on July 4th in Commerce City. And while "winless" is technically right, it was worse than that. Between victories over Colorado, Sporting KC were 0-5-1, with just a single draw against NYCFC.The defense was still flawed, and defense often starts further up the field, so there is blame to go around. Colorado should have scored far more than the two goals they put in, if not for outstanding individual efforts from John Pulskamp, Robert Voloder and Ian James. But it was something else that stood out on Saturday.With Manu Garcia still unavailable due to injury, Kerry Zavagnin finally used Santiago Munoz as a straight up #10. You could call it a second striker, but he was floating all over creating opportunities. He was involved in so many attacking sequences and seemed to unlock Sporting KC's creativity. Not every sequence ended with a shot, but there was so much promise.Another move I've been asking for is not starting all three strikers together. It leaves no impact subs on the bench to play forward. With Mason Toye starting on the bench, it was a combination of him subbing on and Santi unlocking the midfield that led to the game winning goal. Munoz played a perfect ball to Toye to finished with precision to push SKC over the line for their seventh win of the season.Of course, Sheena and I talked about a lot more Sporting KC happenings in this episode, including:Our favorite goal of the night (there were so many good candidates)Pulskamp heroicsThat James save off the line!Daniel Salloi showing man strengthInternational callups and so much moreThe KC Current did what we basically expect them to do at this point. Just keep winning. They've won twice since our last podcast and clinched a playoff spot. They aren't that far away from locking up the NWSL Shield. But ultimately, the season will be defined by what they do in the playoffs. Before we get there though, we talk through the victories over the Portland Thorns and North Carolina Courage.In the Digital Crawl, we hit on a few more topics, including:St. Louis fire their Sporting DirectorBarbra Banda done for the yearThe USWNT game at CPKC StadiumHere is a rundown of topics and start times:Sporting KC's big comeback victory - 8:22SKC make moves and Intl.

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. What a fantastic end to the MLS transfer window and what a dismal performance at LA Galaxy. But hey, Pax10 Aaronson hype. Oh, and Matt and the dog are doing well. Thanks for all the support last week. Rabbi and Red put a bow on our coverage of the Aaronson transfer. The financials are a big deal and likely a one-time thing? There's the USMNT discussion. Commerce City Radio did a more thorough breakdown of that if you haven't listened already. There's the question of where the Rapids go from here and how Aaronson fits in tactically compared to his predecessor. Then we break down that 3-0 loss to LA Galaxy and why it was that bad. We give thoughts on how and when Aaronson, Rob Holding, and Alexis Manyoma will integrate into the squad. We look ahead to Sporting KC. There's an Ask HTHL about the third Rafa.

Talk Python To Me - Python conversations for passionate developers
Python's data stack is getting a serious GPU turbo boost. In this episode, Ben Zaitlen from NVIDIA joins us to unpack RAPIDS, the open source toolkit that lets pandas, scikit-learn, Spark, Polars, and even NetworkX execute on GPUs. We trace the project's origin and why NVIDIA built it in the open, then dig into the pieces that matter in practice: cuDF for DataFrames, cuML for ML, cuGraph for graphs, cuXfilter for dashboards, and friends like cuSpatial and cuSignal. We talk real speedups, how the pandas accelerator works without a rewrite, and what becomes possible when jobs that used to take hours finish in minutes. You'll hear strategies for datasets bigger than GPU memory, scaling out with Dask or Ray, Spark acceleration, and the growing role of vector search with cuVS for AI workloads. If you know the CPU tools, this is your on-ramp to the same APIs at GPU speed.

The soccer hall of famer stops by SDH AM to look at a big night in Colorado There's bobbleheads, a retirement ceremony, and a match between the Rapids and Atlanta United all to talk aboutAnd Marcelo Balboa is involved in all of it
Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This weekend the club will be retiring Marcelo Balboa's #17 jersey. It's just the fifth jersey number retirement in MLS history and the second one for Colorado (Pablo Mastroeni's #25 was retired July 4, 2021). Shortly after the end of the 2022 MLS season, we interviewed Celo. This was after the Altitude TV contract had expired. MLS was in the middle of setting up MLS Season Pass on Apple TV. Teams were saying goodbye to their local broadcast partners. Celo was in limbo. He was happy and at peace, amid the uncertainty. Here's that interview again. We discuss him growing up in Southern California and transitioning from college soccer to the fledgling semi-professional game in America. The Colorado Foxes come up. We talk bicycle kicks, his rehab to make the USMNT for the 1994 World Cup, and that wild Copa America. He gets real about his struggles academically, with injuries, and in his personal life. He's got some good stories about his time at Club Leon (Marcelo Balboa Clasico Champions, you'll never sing that!). Then we discuss his legendary Colorado Rapids moments: That phone call with Phil Anschutz, the first goal in Rapids history, the 1997 MLS Cup Final, the 1999 U.S. Open Cup Final, getting traded to the MetroStars, and more. We touch on what he's done since retiring, working with the Rapids Academy, doing soccer media in English y Espanol, y mas! Congratulations Celo. Thank you for everything. Legend, now and always.
