John Pantano's rock and roll roots go back to the 1960s psychedelic rock scene and the very genesis of the Jesus Movement. He and his friend, the late Ron Salsbury, were the core of JC Power Outlet - one of the earliest Jesus Rock bands on the scene. After two albums for Myrrh Records, the two signed with Larry Norman's vanguard Solid Rock label and changed their creative moniker to “Pantano Salsbury” for the release of their acclaimed, beloved (and doomed) 1977 album, Hit The Switch. That LP, long sought by collectors, is finally being remastered and re-released by Randy Layton's Alternative Records. Or at least we hope it is. We spoke to Pantano and Layton recently and are releasing this special 45 RPM episode, including several clips of the remastered songs, with the hope that more people will discover this sleeper classic and support the worthy Indiegogo campaign to fund this critical re-issue.

In this Lost Massachusetts Episode we take a zig-zag drive through the Mass/Conn border examining the odd crossings between Southwick, Mass & Granby, Conn; Longmeadow, Mass & Enfield, Conn; and a 12-second crossing in the Douglas State Forest. There are also waterfront properties where the house is in one state but the beach is in another. Take a good look at the Mass/Connecticut border, it's not a straight line, not even close. From New York the mass border slopes north, then south, then drops into Connecticut for miles in places, slopes north again, then south again and then finally straight down where it meets the Rhode Island border. A bad survey line established in 1642 marked a disputed state line that placed a dozen or more Connecticut towns within Massachusetts. It would take almost two hundred years to settle this dispute. Why was the line so inaccurate? Because the people who did it conducted their measurements from a ship instead of on the land. They took measurements from the ocean and the Connecticut River which were not much better than guesses. Connecticut did not even have its own royal charter 1662, it was a mishmash of adjacent colonies centered around New Haven and Saybrook that did not combine until later. This was the period of history where the Netherlands was loosing control to England, including the Dutch possessions in New England. When they received their charter, Connecticut put its version of the state line well above the 1642 line, but this remained an issue of dispute and confusion between the two states. More settlers moved into the towns not always clear on where they lived. Connecticut conducted a new line survey in 1695 which massachusetts ignored. Mass did not like the results from another survey conducted in 1702 either. in 1713 the two colonies simply agreed to divide up the towns in the disputed area, but the towns impacted by the change did not like being tossed around so another survey was chartered. Strangely, the new border agreed to by massachusetts put several towns that were clearly settled by massachusetts in Connecticut. These towns were shifted back to massachusetts which made the various jogs we see on the map. If you think this ended the issue it did not since some settlers in massachusetts wanted to be part of connecticut because the taxes were lower. Imagine that. So the border shifted again for some people. In 1797 part of the border was adjusted because a river used as a marker had...moved. After the revolution the issue was revisited in 1801 but was not redrawn until 1826 and agreed on until 1840. All of this confusion was compounded by the fact that many stone markers, while intended to show the actuate borders were in the wrong place. It was also found that some settlers have moved marker stones to expand their own farms. These discrepancies were not fixed until 1941. The issues did not end there as new technology in the early 2000s made more accurate measurements and these results showed many border lines to be invalid. Believe it or not, Connecticut's eastern border with Rhode Island is still in dispute. These are the towns above the 1642 survey line: Thompson, Woodstock, Union, Stafford, Somers, Enfield, Suffield, Granby, Windsor Locks, Hartland, Barkhamsted, Winchester, Colebrook, Norfolk, Canaan, Salsbury, Millerton NY. The towns specifically settled and claimed by Massachusetts: Woodstock, Somers, Enfield, Suffield.

A woman who is a Nidda can divest herself of this status only by immersing in a Halachically valid Mikveh, which is defined as 40 Se'a of naturally collected rainwater, that had not been drawn from another source. This means that a Mikveh must be constructed in such a way that rainwater falls directly into the Mikveh. If the water is brought to the Mikveh from somewhere else, either through human involvement or a piping system, it is invalid, and a Nidda who immerses in such a Mikveh is still considered a Nidda.For this reason, Chacham Ovadia Yosef rules (in Halichot Olam, vol. 5, p. 143) that a swimming pool may not be used as a Mikveh. The water in a swimming pool has the status of Mayim She'uvim – "drawn water" – and is therefore ineffective in ridding a woman of her Nidda status.When Chacham Baruch Ben Chaim Z"L served as Rabbi in Salsbury, South Africa, he sent a letter to Chacham Ovadia Yosef asking if he could permit the women in his community to immerse in swimming pools, given that no proper Mikveh was available. He noted that if he would not permit women to immerse in swimming pools, they would resume relations with their husbands without immersing altogether. Since pools are disqualified for use as a Mikveh only Mi'de'rabbanan (by force of Rabbinic enactment), perhaps it is preferable to instruct women to violate this provision, and immerse in pools, so as to avoid their violation of the far more grievous transgression, of relations during a state of Nidda.Chacham Ovadia replied that a Rabbi may not allow people to commit a Rabbinic prohibition even in such a case, where they will otherwise violate a Torah prohibition. Halacha does not become more flexible in response to the "intimidation" of those who are prepared to transgress Torah law if a Rabbinic provision is not suspended. This principle is explicitly mentioned as well by Rabbi Moshe Feinstein (Russia-New York, 1895-1986), in his work Iggerot Moshe (Yoreh Dei'a section, 52; listen to audio for direct citation), where he writes that a Rabbi may not allow a violation of Halacha of any kind due to the threats of sinners that they will otherwise commit more grievous transgressions.Chacham Ovadia added another factor, as well, namely, that issuing a ruling permitting the use of pools as a Mikveh eliminates any incentive on the part of the community to construct a proper Mikveh. For this reason, too, a Rabbi must not issue such a ruling, and should rather insist that the community take it upon itself to construct a valid Mikveh.Summary: A swimming pool may not be used in lieu of a Mikveh, even if no proper Mikveh is available.

Kia ora e te whānau. It's rare that at 16, you could be considered a veteran of the trail and ultra-marathon scene, but that's certainly the case with Sebastian Salsbury. Sebastian took to the trails with his father and sister as a wee young fella at the Born to Run Marathons and cracked out his first 100km at the Black Canyons at the ripe age of 13. Since then, Sebastian has done a bunch more, including his Rim to Rim at the Grand Canyon accompanied by none other than Max King. This is a runner with his head screwed on, coached by Hayden Hawks, and someone you get the sense is really going somewhere. No matter how old - or young - you are, you'll get something out of this conversation for sure. One thing that Eugene and Matt have ALWAYS SAID is that the West Coast is the Best Coast, and Ms R Croft of Stillwater, Greymouth, has proved that by only bloody well going and winning Western States!! That tasty little tidbit is just the tip of the iceberg as we run down all the amazing racing action, bang out a most grateful Greatest Run Ever and desperately try to give away another TWO Tarawera entries via the medium of coming to our live show and/or submitting a Greatest Run Ever.

This woman began her path to greatness when she was a senior in high school. When her father told her that his purpose in life was quote “to make other people glad they saw him”, she thought “I want that too.” The next turning point came at the age of 21 when she embraced her Christian faith and all it stood for. And as the years unfolded, this woman became a blessing to everyone she met.  She became a mother, a wife and an incredibly successful business woman. She became known across the world as a transformational trainer and coach and as one of the premiere speakers of our time. And after decades of touching hundreds to thousands of people from the podium, she is still offering up to everyone one she meets a heart full of love and guidance. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Glenna Salsbury.

Today I'm speaking with Photographer Jim Herrington. Jim's celebrity portraits include Willie Nelson, Morgan Freeman, Dolly Parton, and his images have appeared in magazines like Rolling Stone and Esquire. He has a fabulous portrait series of many of the climbing legends such as Ricardo Cassin, Royal Robbins, Fred Beckey, and many more in his acclaimed book The Climbers which was awarded the grand prize at the 2017 Banff Book Awards.   Facebook Twitter Instagram   The Outdoor Biz Podcast   Please give us a rating and review HERE   Show Notes Jim Herrington.com The Climbers Book When did you pick up your first camera? How old were you? Well, there was an old Argus, twin lens reflex that was rattling around and family. Probably a 1950s model with a leather case. I remember getting my hands on that, playing around some, but then, I got a Kodak Instamatic around 1972 or something when I was a nine. The first significant camera was a Pentax K 1000. And I got that when I was about 12 or 13. And actually that's kind of the way I measure it back to when things really started. I ended up photographing Benny Goodman on that camera. When I was a young teen and I always call that ground zero of where it all began. You're pretty much self-taught then I guess? Well, yeah, I mean, people say self-taught, but that just usually means they've gone and sought out really good teachers. I did go to school briefly. It wasn't for me, but I had intentionally picked out really exceptional mentors, people I wanted to learn from and, certainly tons of books and movies and going to museums and just really looking. So I guess in a way I taught myself, but you know, you're learning from somebody somehow. I guess you're more picking how you're taught if you do it that way. You're kind of looking at how they get that and how they do that and figuring it out on your own. What kind of things did you shoot as a kid, did you just shoot everything or did you have a specific photo or image in mind? You know, of course, I shot the dog and stuff like that. There were these old life magazines around the house and I think my father was kind of casually collecting from the thirties and forties. And you know, they had these big, full-bleed, black and white photographs. from World War two and Paris and Antarctica, Brigitte Bardot, and all these amazing things to look at. I can remember my earliest memories were laying on the floor in the living room, just going through those pages and being taken somewhere to these places. And it was a while before I thought, Oh, somebody is taking these photos. I was so young. I didn't even know someone took these photos. They were like pictures. I didn't know where pictures came from, but then it dawned on me that someone was taking them. And then, later on, I realized these people are getting paid to take these pictures and it just immediately became my obsession. This must be the best life possible, traveling around the world and encountering these people, places, and things, and sort of showing your little creative version of it. That's the way my mind could put it together. I mean, I didn't realize there were people like the great photographers Dorothy Lange and Walker Evans. But that's who a lot of those people were. So it was a good early place, just kind of the first place where I saw good, interesting photography. What were you shooting? I was trying to mimic that lifestyle probably. I felt like I did have kind of a serious approach to it, even if the results didn't show it. I was definitely influenced by that stuff. We also had an old 1950s encyclopedia Britannica in the house filled with stock photography to illustrate whatever entry was. But, you know, even that stuff had this kind of, Jobie craft to it. Even if it wasn't art there was a kind of beauty to some of these. I remember looking up the Sierra Nevada and just seeing some black and white photo of it with a red filter probably on it, so that you've got the dark sky and just this classic Sierra image and immediately thinking, well, this is where I have to go. Walker Evans would have turned into kind of an artistic style and statement, which wasn't that far from just a guy shooting stock photography in a way. So I kind of liked that approach early on. Just finding these things that had their kind of inherent, quiet, coolness. And a lot of those shots back then versus now seemed like they were more artistic and more crafted as opposed to looking through magazines these days. And granted there's a lot more magazines and a lot more images, but some of them just look like stock photography. These days it just looks like somebody who's out there firing off snapshots. Those shots, those shots back in those magazines were art almost as well. A lot of it was art. It was beautiful. Back then you had to know what you were doing. You, you had to learn how to operate a film camera. You had to usually know how to work in the dark rooms so that the learning curve was of a certain, you know, distance and math. You couldn't really just pick up a digital camera and futz around in Photoshop and end up with something. So there was a kind of base-level ability to those people. Looking at it now, anything shot on a big format camera, even if it wasn't so great holds a bit of weight, looks a bit serious. People now it's, just such a different playing field, there are so many photographs. We, as a culture, as a world, the humans we've seen so many photos were so burnt on everything, we've seen it all nonstop. And that was a certain naivete back then. People weren't burned out on photos. There was a lot of newness. It just wasn't that not everybody could do it. In the first 10 or even 20 years of my life, there were certain jobs that I got, simply because I owned a camera. I'm not joking, you know, “who do we know that owns a photographic camera?” Uh, well, this guy, Jim Harrington knows, in fact, he even knows how to operate it. It just was true. You know, I got a lot of jobs that way. I remember in the nineties, I would get weird jobs in North Dakota or somewhere. And it was just because we didn't have as many photographers. Now you could pick the tiniest village in North Dakota and there's probably 20 guys with a website or girls, you know, cause they're a photographer. Tell us about your first portrait shoot. Was that the family dog. Did you have the dog sit for a shoot? Was it a family member? First portrait shoot, where I thought I was actually doing something? Well, that shot I did of Benny Goodman, wasn't a portrait sitting. It was him live. And my dad turned me on to Benny Goodman when I was like, practically a seed, very young. I love that kind of music. And at one point Dad said, “Benny Goodman is coming to town. Do you want to go?” And I said, yes. I had that first FinTech and I shot a couple of frames, I was very scared, walked up to the stage in front of all these people. That felt like I was actually doing something, trying something, and actually got something out of it, but still portraits. I'm sure it was just one of my friends that I grabbed where I was trying something that was a little more considered that I'd seen and in some kind of art book or photography magazine and just attempting it. Was there a first paid portrait shoot that was kind of like, Ooh, this is important. I gotta make sure I do good. This is so sad that it's noteworthy and telling. But there, I don't guess this happens anymore, but in the old days when I was young if you were some sort of celebrity, maybe an actor or actress or musician, and maybe you had gone a bit beyond your prime. If there was, for instance, a new appliance store opening in some town, you would appear at the grand opening. And sure enough, this early friend that I'd made, an older guy and he'd lived in London, kind of exciting person. I met in Charlotte and he had been around the music scene of London. He was managing this tiny, mid-century kind of mall, like a prototype of a mall. And there was an appliance store in it. And Eileen Fulton, I don't know if anybody's going to recognize this name, but she was a big soap opera star in the fifties and sixties and seventies. But I think by like 1981, she was probably a bit washed up. Still glamorous, but you know, a little past the due date. And she came to be an appliance store celeb. So I got paid $40 to go photograph Eileen Fulton at the opening. Ah, humble beginnings What inspired your quest to photograph all the famous old climbers? Well, it still kind of goes back to the life magazine stuff. And later on, I don't know if you want to call it journalism documentary, it's a little of both. But you know, it slowly started growing out to these more cerebral types of documentary street people. Gary Winogrand, Friedlaender, even Diane Arbus, Robert Frank, Cartier Bresson, you know, I just started really getting into the whole world and the history of this stuff. And, being very influenced by these people I had a real hunger for the history of photography and the great people that had done it through the decades. And I did start shooting the music scene early on, kind of the punk rock, new wave, et cetera, scene of Charlotte and I kind of felt like I was documenting that. Then I moved out to Hollywood pretty early on and started seeking out the current scene. But I was definitely interested in finding some of these kinds of older obscure people, which I did throughout all my music photography. And in fact kind of really got into that. As years went on, really finding a lot of these kinds of roots in America, a blues country, Jazz, R & B, whatever. Especially if some of these people had kind of disappeared and that became a bit of my schtick for a long time and I built up a big archive of that. And with climbing, it was kind of the same thing. Cause I got into climbing, and everything kind of happened around the same time. The early mid-seventies when I started hearing about stuff and I'm into exactly what I was into as a kid. And climbing. I mean, especially, in America in the seventies, the California influence, you know, kind of driven by the Sierra, even the, you know, just the Chouinard catalogs, just that whole thing. It was like propaganda and, um, or even the, um, do you remember the, uh, save mono Lake poster? Yeah, I was going to say even that the Sunset magazines and AAA, all those things had photographs of Yosemite, Death Valley. All that stuff. There was such a strong California propaganda to me, as a guy that had his antennas up, certainly for the climbing. But yeah, Sunset magazine, the beauty of that stuff. And even like I said, that encyclopedia Britannica just seeing the Sierra Nevada. I mean, you know, just the trees, the way the whole place looked like a Japanese Zen Garden, it all made sense to me. And I particularly got super into the history of it and reading about it. And so, around the mid-nineties, I decided, well I knew that Glen Dawson and Jules Eichorn were still alive. And they were about the oldest people I could imagine, anyone else older would have died already. So I just thought, well, I'm going to go find these guys and photograph them and meet them and that's that, right? And so I did, I ended up, this is in the pretty early days of the internet. I don't even know, this was before Google. I don't know what I would have even searched on back then, but I actually somehow found Doug Robinson's phone number. I mean, this is like a primal search. I have no idea, but suddenly it came up on the screen, Doug Robinson, here's his phone number. I thought, really this easy huh? And I just immediately called him. I'm just going to completely, this is probably not the way you're supposed to use the internet, but I'm calling this guy. And so he picked up, we talked for like two hours and just kind of really hit it off. And I told him, I said, you know, I think I'm going to come out. So he thought that was very cool. And then somehow that turned into him and I climbing together and photographing him, Cause I love Doug's writing, I was deeply impressionable and fell under the gaze of Doug's. It was just part of the whole stew that I was digging, you know? And so I went out there and I got Glen Dawson down in Pasadena and then I drove up to Owens Valley and met Doug and we had this amazing two weeks together. We did a first ascent in the Palisades. We went all over the place, went to the needles, a really incredible trip all the way along. And then after that went up to the Bay area and shot Jules. And so, boom, I had these three guys and, it felt kinda cool and it's like maybe I should continue and get these Sierra Nevada guys. This will be a cool little project. So I did, whenever I got the money, you know, this was just a personal project and I was living in Nashville at the time. So I had to keep paying for plane tickets, just all that. That was always a thing. But I slowly got Royal Robbins and Chouinard and got more of these people. And so I thought, maybe there's a little Sierra Nevada series. Maybe it's, I don't know, Outside magazine did a spread, but then at some point, it just kinda grew. I got Bradford Washburn on the East coast, which suddenly it wasn't a Sierra project anymore. Okay. It's an American project, but then a couple of years, three years later or more, I ended up getting Ricardo Cassin and Italy and suddenly it was international and nobody gave a damn about this thing. Really. It was just, people thought I was crazy. It was climbers like some really smart, interesting climbers thought, well, why are you doing this? Like you're shooting like young, hot climbers. It's like, really don't fucking get this at all. I just, it's so obvious to me. I wouldn't want to be shooting young, hot climbers. Like these are legends man. And they're sitting around in their living room. Some of them just waiting for someone to come visit. It was like a dream job and nobody recognized it. That's awesome. It's amazing. You went all over the world doing it and for a personal project! That has gotta be some expense involved in that, but you got some great portraits. I love it. And I love some of the stories you were telling when you were here in Bishop about how you got some of those guys, I forget who it was, you were photographing at his kitchen table. And that story was just, that had to be a great experience. I mean, unbelievable. It was crazy. I started getting very bold in my penniless travels, putting myself way out there without a way home with my camera and my bindle. And it was, I mean, I've always traveled, you know, since I could, since I was young, but it was definitely an experiment of just how far out on the edge you can go with an idea and no money. How about the inspiration for each individual? Did you have a person that you just wanted to, get on the list or you wanted to meet him? Did you have a recipe or an idea of the shot before? You know, again, the early recipe was the Sierra Nevada. The fact that I got Bradford Washburn who was amazing and also his photography was amazing. I just thought, how can I turn that down? That kind of made me turn it into, okay, it's an American thing. I didn't really want to be this big about it, but it's getting big. It also, while it made it more difficult, it also made it easier without the restriction of just the Sierra Nevada. Now, if there's these other people that it's going to make it bigger and messier, suddenly I know I can get this guy and this guy. It's a mixture of guys that I knew and respected. I did have to start thinking about well, I don't want to get too many from one area. You know, this thing's becoming global, then I want to diffuse it out a bit. Sometimes it was all about the person. Sometimes it was wanting to represent an area or scene, obviously the Alps or the Calanques, you know, outside of Marseille. There became these sort of little mini reasons. Obviously I wanted to get some Sherpas, there were all these many reasons. Some people died that were really heartbreaking that I couldn't get, and got so close to that was a super big bummer, but I had to philosophize that and how to keep myself sane. And ultimately I had, and I liked the reasoning that I used, which is this book is a representation of an era. It was never intended to be a who's who complete encyclopedia. That would have been too big anyway. It would have been a really unwieldy book. It would have been just too much so, and that's true. And also it saved me from going insane for the people that I did miss. So I do feel confident that I represented the era very well, which is the 1920s to 1970s. I think if you'd had just tried to get everybody, then all of a sudden it becomes too much like an encyclopedia or library book or something, and it loses the emotion. I think that you've captured the emotion of the era as well as the stories. It's great. And the book is a good size. It's not too big. There are 60 climbers, 60 portraits. I think that's just about right. Any more than that and they sort of lose importance. It may make you skip a couple of pages and keep looking. What were the years photographing the musicians like that had to be pretty wild too, cause those were some wild years. Well, that was fun. I mean, I'm still doing it. I never really quit, but you know, it's a different playing field now. Well, certainly with COVID, but who knows what's going to happen. I'm a huge music fan and grew up loving, I was kind of a product, I guess, of the punk rock years. But I was a big, again, I love big band, Benny Goodman, the stuff my mom and dad turned me on to early rock and roll and jazz. So just everything good. I was into, good as subjective, and I just wanted to document it and I did kind of force that one along. It was great, you know, it was, it was fun to start getting published and getting my name on album covers and magazines and getting paid. But it really was, these were my people. I was an only child in a small town in North Carolina and I didn't feel like, it felt like I had to go out in the world to find this world that I related to. I felt like this was where I should be. And I just had to go find these people. These were friends I hadn't made yet is the way I felt about it. And it turned out to be true. And I think it's the same for those people too. Everybody wants to find their people. I got to be friends with a lot of them, many of them. I mean, And the same with climbing you know, Doug Robinson's one of my best friends. I mean, it's weird cause he was this legend in my eyes. I have to call him today, check up on his new hip. So yeah, I always just felt it was, you create the world you want to be in and that's the world I wanted to be in and it was comfortable and I understood it. And I felt, I kind of felt like I was doing a public service documenting these people. Like maybe you don't realize it now, but one day you'll look at these pictures after this was all gone. And it was pretty adventurous of you to go travel around the world. And even as a youngster doing this stuff, are there adventurers in your family or where did that adventure bug come from? Well, this is something I think about a lot. I had to learn how to do that. I mean you know, my dad turned me on to it. I remember I sorta had the blueprints in our humble little living room. We had a globe, you know, an old fashioned globe. We had an Atlas, we had these life magazines and we had an encyclopedia. And that was like the only four things I remember. It was some kind of visual stimulus, but it was everything. If something came on the news on TV, you know, dad would always show it. We'd look on the map. It's like, Holy shit, what's that? The middle East? What are those people, I want to go. So I had are very early on, but the thing is the Herrington's, um, where a burgeoning grocery empire in the tiny town of Salsbury, North Carolina, My dad's dad who kind of inherited the three very happening stores and a fish market, that my dad's dad's dad's dad had started. But then my grandfather, my dad's dad, he seemed to be some kind of traveling Playboy. As I heard it told he would only come home long enough to get my grandmother pregnant, then take off again. But we have a passport stamped with Tokyo during world war two. And I can't figure out why in the hell . . . we also have papers that he was on the Graf Zeppelin from Rio to Europe. And they used to say, well, you know with the grocery store you would have to travel. You would have to go to Cuba to buy bananas and coffee. And I believed that for a few years. But then I got just slightly older and it's like, no he's not! I mean, at best he would go to Miami, but there are distribution points. He's not going to Cuba to pick out bananas. Cuba to talk to Castro, maybe. So, I don't know. But, um, I guess it's a Herrington thing. My dad was a traveler. There's definitely some restless stuff in the DNA. What about favorite people, who was the most fun to photograph? Oh, there's a bunch, there's so many, you know, Dolly Parton, I always mention her because I think everybody kind of loves Dolly Parton. You know she plays the dumb blonde act. I think most people, you know, that it's actually an act. She's not really acting. She's just kind of effortlessly amazing. I mean, she's truly got an aura around her of super cool, super funny, razor, sharp, smart business. She writes all her songs. She's just like a fully formed, complete human being. I really loved her. Keith Richards, he's a good guy. There's a lot of them. Morgan Freeman was great. Was anybody specifically challenging in a unique way? Couldn't get them to engage? Yeah. I don't like to give them much press, but I've definitely had some dark moments with some people that are definitely good bar stories. I'll tell ya. We'll save that for when you come to Bishop, we'll have a beer somewhere. I sort of, I talk about Warren Harding in my slideshow. That's a long soliloquy, he was . . . we'll call that challenging. Our friendship was over the phone strictly, and things fell apart before we actually met. But, but it did make up a good long story for the slide show, which is kind of dark and funny. I was talking to Greg Thomsen as I was preparing for this interview. And he was saying, he thinks of you as the Anthony Bordain of photography and climbing history, but way more alive. What do you say to that? Well, I'm a fan of Bordain. I will accept the compliment and I met Bordain actually. I was doing a job shooting, Kris Kristofferson, and basically just around him for the day in New York City. And he had to go to the David Letterman show for a couple of hours to do a little thing. So we went to the Letterman show together and, you know, you just hang around backstage for a couple of hours before you do your bits. So I was there, Joan Baez was in a room. It's very low key and quiet back there. Steve Martin stopped by for a bit, but basically it was just kind of boring. And then I passed this one dressing room on the far end and poked my head in and I was like, wonder who's in there. And it was Bordain. Just sitting by himself, watching TV up on the wall, near the ceiling. He kind of looked over and nodded. So I went in and we ended up talking for an hour, he was that guy. I like him, very sad to hear him gone. Have you photographed the Thomsen brothers yet? You know, I should do the kind of a formal thing with them because, they're the other guys that I had heard about early on out of California, these guys doing stuff. And in fact, on a photoshoot, I ended up becoming the defacto model for some Wilderness Experience stuff that was shot. I actually got a free Wilderness Experience pack in the early eighties. But yeah, I knew of those guys and, you know, they did such great work. It's been cool to get to be friends with them. And Greg has done some wonderful things for me, for the book, like really super great stuff. So I'm in debt. I'm glad I've gotten to be really friendly with them over the last couple of years. Hi boys. Do you have any suggestions or advice for someone wanting to get into photography these days? Well, that's a tough one because I guess I would need to know what their reasons were. Why would you want to do this? It's so challenging, it always was. I mean it always was a hard thing to get into and no doubt, but God, there's just oceans of photographers. Now everybody has a nice DSLR and the learning curve, the progress is so fast because they can get good results and Photoshop. So that just makes the playing field thick. But also it's, the magazines haven't raised their rates in a long time. It's really, you know, digital has hurt everything from the record industry to publishing. So those people, a lot of them are just disappearing or they don't have the budgets they used to have. So it's a, just a battlefield everywhere, but it's also invented a lot of new opportunities, which I'm still sorting out myself. Like what, what are they. I guess my thing, and it's only my opinion, but I would definitely go kind of crazy deep into the history of photography. I do meet a lot of kids, young people who asked me this and I discover that they're not really learning about any of the past great people. I guess that's fine. Is that fuddy-duddy? I don't know when I was a kid I was obsessed with the history of it and these great people, and I think you can learn so much. I just think it's important to know the arc of it all. Then that will inform your craft and style so much. And I think just having a point of view is also the hard thing. When I see younger people there, sometimes they're kind of lucking by luck, falling into some good stuff, but, just developing a style and a point of view that is kind of replicable, or not copying, but have a unique way, develop yourself as an artist and have a reason for doing things this way. And don't be haphazard, really be serious about it Everything takes a certain amount of pain, you know? I sound like an old Catholic nun or something, but, like practicing guitar, practicing piano, or just being a painter, if you really want to rise above, there's going to be late nights, you're going to avoid your friends. There's going to be a certain amount of pain and hard work to kind of rise above. And I don't think that ever goes away. In any craft, sport, art, all of it. If it's too easy, you're not doing something right. Do you photograph every day? Oh, no, absolutely not. I'm thinking about it every day. I mean, even if it's in my mind, I'm working on it. Why am I doing it? What does it mean? What is the new stuff I have? My archives are so huge. It was really depressing the other day, I was looking for something and it just dawned on me. If I don't take another photo, the rest of my life starting now I have enough to keep me busy. That just put me in a funk for the rest of the day. Because if I choose to not do that, Oh, screw that I'm going to keep producing new work. Well, that means I'll never get to the old stuff. Or if I choose to just not do new stuff and only focus on the old stuff, then it's just that, I'm just catching up. Either outcome is kind of like, wow. Yeah, don't stay on that too long, go out and go and create. You've got to create, I find the creativity part of it is a huge part of it. I agree. But you know the whole thing that I do is kind of like this. I mean, the climber book was in a way going through the archives. Cause I did a lot of the photography, it was going back and putting this stuff together. Which I sort of feel like is a part of my archives is well I gotta get it while the getting's hot. You know, I take the pictures. I experience these stories, put these things together, but I can't do anything with them right now. So I'll keep accumulating. And then the other half of the equation is putting it together later. Does the inspiration for the project though sometimes comes later, I guess. And then once you're in the project, like the book, once you've got that started and you realize you want to get some other climbers, but sometimes you've got all this archive of work and the project doesn't come to you until you take this one photo and then realize, Oh, wait a minute, I've got all this, that, and the other, this could be a good book or presentation or whatever it might be does that happen? It's weird. I'm now officially an author. Who's done a book. But before that happened, which was only in 2017, I never had a book and to me, books were the, be all end all, I just really fetishize books, especially art photography, well-designed beautiful books. And I considered them better than a museum show. Like a really good book, is it? But you know, I was probably intimidated and knew that I wanted to do one, but could I do one, would it be good? And finally, I was able to do one, which I'm really happy about, and it was so much work. Does the project derive itself from the archive or an image? I guess it's kind of both. As the climbers, when it was the Sierra, I thought, well, maybe it's just a cool little magazine spread I can sell to somebody that's interested, look at the old Sierra climbers. I guess the way I go through life is just thinking this stuff's important. It's worth getting, I don't know what I'm going to do with it. But as I worked on the climbers, it was becoming apparent, okay, this could definitely be a book if I were only so lucky to get a publisher and money and blah, blah, blah. And now it's unbelievable that it came together. But it kind of morphs in importance and outcome as time goes on, it's kind of like a lava lamp in my brain of possibilities. You know, doing the stuff and then what the outcomes could be and how possible that is. Cause, if you're a, I don't like calling myself an artist, but I guess, people in this kind of world, you need some word for it, a person that does stuff like this, you're always doubting and wondering, and until you've actually done it, it takes a lot of shapes in your head of what it could be. Speaking of books, do you have any favorite books or books you give as gifts? Favorite books? I love Nightmare Alley by William Lindsey Gresham. I'm always terrible when people ask these questions, cause my mind goes blank. I love the writing of SJ Perelman. He was a neurotic Jew that really influenced Woody Allen. Actually I think Woody Allen's neurotic Jewish stick came very much from S J Perelman who was older and before him. He wrote for the New Yorker and things like that. But just these short, very funny, I think, stories that had an incredible vocabulary and he didn't become as big as Robert Benchley and some of those humorous of the same era. I actually thought he was better. Actually think I learned a lot from Perelman. I somehow found him when I was in high school. Jim Thompson, the pulped novel writer, Daniel, Farson Never a Normal Man, his tales of the postwar London art scene. Then there's a book that I recommend if I ever have a photography course with students, I think my textbook might be Photography Until Now by John Sarcowski, who was the great curator of photography at the museum of modern art. Do you have a favorite piece of outdoor gear you always take with you under a hundred dollars? Gadgets? Well, I go through periods of a favorite knife and especially since I've been finding these knives that I get in Spain, for some reason I keep coming back from Spain, Northern Spain, from the Pyrenees over to Bilbao. I just come back with knives. I'm not even one of those knife guys. They land in my possession somehow. I can be such a weirdo romantic. And I think of like some kind of old pictures, I saw people in the mountains high in the Swiss Alps, breaking for cheese and salami in the sunshine. And I think of the knife itself, as it cuts through it, just kind of a beautiful, simple knife, cutting out little chunks to put on a piece of Cracker or bread. So think of having a nice knife in the top of my pack. So when it's lunch break, slicing through a hard cheese cause there's nothing as good as that.   If people want to follow up, how can they reach out to you?

Look for what grows well in your area Not all plants grow well everywhere. Some of the things that struggle in your climate might surprise you. It certainly did me! Grow plants you love to eat Whatever happens with our current crisis, I hope that more people take up gardening as a means of self-care and... I also hope that if this sort of advice can help make early gardening experiences more enjoyable, more people will take this on as a long-term hobby or lifestyle change rather than a stop-gap measure. I want you to love working with plants as much as I do!”   Today’s to-do is to add a magnifying glass to your garden tote. The best gardeners throughout our history have looked closely at their plants - often using magnifiers of some fashion. Get up close and personal with your plants and increase your intimacy with your garden by looking at it through the lens of a magnifying glass. Now’s the perfect time to add one to your garden tote. As with every garden tool - you won’t use it if it’s not handy.   Alright, that’s it for today's gardening news.

In 1815, he funded the round the world scientific voyage of the Rurik which included the poet and botanist Adelbert von Chamisso ("Sha-ME-So") and a doctor/surgeon named Johann Friedrich von Eschscholtz. Two years later, in 1817, the Rurik ended up in the San Francisco Bay area where it planned to reprovision. During their stay in San Francisco, Chamiso discovered the California poppy, which he named Eschscholzia californica after his friend Johanns Friedrich Von Eschscholzia. In 1903, the botanist Sarah Plummer Lemmon put forth a successful piece of legislation that nominated the golden poppy (Eschscholzia californica) as the state flower of California. And here’s what the botanist Alice Eastwood once said about the poppy: “The Eschscholzia so glows with the sunbeams caught in its chalice that it diffuses light upon the other flowers and the grass. This poppy will not shine unless the sunbeams on it, but folds itself up and goes to sleep.”   1837  Today is the birthday of the Naturalist, poet, and philosopher John Burroughs (books by this author) was born on a dairy farm in Roxbury, outside of Boston on this date in 1837. He was sent to the local school, where his desk was next to that of Erie Railroad Robber Baron, Jay Gould (the son of a nearby neighbor). When Burroughs struggled in school, Gould would bail him out. Called “John o’ Birds” for his special admiration for birds, Burroughs loved the natural world. One of the four vagabonds (a reference to an annual camping group that included Harvey Firestone, Henry Ford, and Teddy Roosevelt) Burroughs drove a Ford which was an annual present from Henry Ford. John Burroughs wrote about what he knew and loved best: the land around his homes in the Catskills of upstate New York. The area included a stream called “The Pepacton" - today it is known as the "East Branch of the Delaware River". Burroughs was great friends with Walt Whitman (Books by this author) whom he loved dearly. Of Whitman, Burroughs reflected: “[Meeting] Walt was the most important event of my life. I expanded under his influence, because of his fine liberality and humanity on all subjects.” Here’s a fun fact: Whitman gave Burroughs a little marketing advice on his first book, Wake-Robin. Burroughs recalled "It is difficult to hit upon suitable titles for books. I went to Walt with Wake-Robin and several other names written on paper. '"What does wake-robin mean?” he asked "It's a spring flower,' I replied. "Then that is exactly the name you want." Here’s the beginning of “Wake-Robin by John Burroughs” “Spring in our northern climate may fairly be said to extend from the middle of March to the middle of June… It is this period that marks the return of the birds…. Each stage of the advancing season gives prominence to certain species, as to certain flowers. The dandelion tells me when to look for the swallow, the dog-tooth violet when to expect the wood thrush, and when I have found the wake-robin in bloom I know the season is fairly inaugurated. With me this flower is associated, not merely with the awakening of Robin, for he has been awake some weeks, but with the universal awakening and rehabilitation of Nature." Wake-robin is the common name for trillium. Trilliums are in the Lily Family and they carpet the forest floor in springtime. They have a single large, white, long-lasting flower that turns pink as it matures. One last memorable fact about Trilliums. Most of the parts of the plants occur in threes: 3 broad flat leaves, 3 petals to a flower, and three sepals (the part that enclosed the petals, protects them in bud, and supports them in bloom). During Burroughs’ time, The Tennessean and other newspapers advertised “English Wake-Robin Pills: the Best Liver and Cathartic Pills in Use!” and they were 25 cents per box. Burroughs died at the age of 84 years - fourteen more than the biblical allotment of man. He was on his way back to the Catskills after undergoing abdominal surgery in California. Burroughs just wanted to see home one more time. Burroughs' nurse and biographer were with him as he made the trip by train. After a restless attempt at sleeping, he asked: “How near home are we?” Told the train was crossing Ohio, Burroughs slumped back and passed away. In 1937, the 100th anniversary of Burrough’s birthday celebration was held at Hartwick College in New York. Music was furnished by the college a cappella choir who sang Burrough’s favorite song, “Lullaby” by Brahms. Supreme Court Justice Abraham Kellogg presented this tribute: "When the trees begin to leaf and the birds are here when the arbutus, laurel, and wildflowers are blooming and nature is clothing herself with beauty and grandeur, turn ye to your library and in a restful attitude read 'Pepacton' and you will acquaint yourself as never before with John Burroughs, the scientist, the naturalist, the poet, and the philosopher.” It was John Burroughs who said, "Most young people find botany a dull study. So it is, as talk from the textbooks in the schools; but study by yourself in the fields and woods, and you will find it a source of perennial delight."   1920  Today is the anniversary of the death of the botanist Kate Brandegee. Kate was the third woman to enroll at Berkely’s medical school and the second woman to be professionally employed as a botanist in the US. After getting her MD at Berkley, she found starting a practice too daunting. Thankfully, Kate’s passion for botany was ignited during med school. She had learned that plants were the primary sources of medicine, so she dropped the mantle of a physician to pursue botany. Five years later, she was the curator of the San Francisco Academy of Sciences herbarium. While Kate was at the academy, she personally trained Alice Eastwood. Later, when Kate moved on, Alice was ready to take her place - Kate was a phenomenal mentor. During her time at the academy, in surprise development at the age of 40, Kate had “fallen insanely in love” with plantsman Townshend Brandegee. Equally yoked, their honeymoon was a 500-mile nature walk - collecting plant specimens from San Diego to San Francisco. The couple moved to San Diego where they created a herbarium that was praised as a botanical paradise. The collecting trips - often taken together, but sometimes individually, would be their lifelong passion - and they traveled through much of California, Arizona, and Mexico at times using the free railroad passes afforded to botanists. Despite poor health, Kate loved these experiences. In 1908, at the age of 64, she wrote Townshend a letter, “I am going to walk from Placerville to Truckee (52 miles!)” In 1906, when the Berkeley herbarium was destroyed by an earthquake, the Brandegees single-handedly restored it by giving the school their entire botanical library (including many rare volumes) and their plant collection which numbered some 80,000 plants. Thanks to Townshend's inheritance, the couple was financially independent, but they were also exceptionally selfless. The Brandegee’s followed their plants and books to Berkley where Townshend and Kate worked the rest of their lives pro bono. Botanist Marcus Jones said of Kate, “She was the one botanist competent to publish a real [book about the native plants of California].” But Kate had delayed writing this work. Kate was 75 when she fell on the University grounds at Berkeley - she broke her shoulder. Three weeks later, she died.   1909  Today is the birthday of Graham Stuart Thomas. GST was fundamentally a nurseryman and he lived a life fully immersed in the garden. His passion was sparked at a young age by a special birthday present he was given when he turned six: a beautiful potted fuchsia. In 2003. his gardening outfit - including his pants, vest, and shoes - as well as a variety of his tools (including plant markers and a watering can) were donated to the Garden Museum. GST was best known for his work with garden roses and his leadership of over 100 National Trust gardens. He wrote 19 books on gardening. Ever the purposeful perfectionist, he never wasted a moment. What do folks have to say about GST on social media? Here’s a sampling: Pachysandra ground cover - A GST classic! My mom gave me a Graham Stuart Thomas for my first gardening book, so very special Our best selling plant of 2015? At number 1 (drum roll) - Eryngium Graham Stuart Thomas.

Love being married to someone who knows what I mean when I say, “Bring me Graham Stuart Thomas"   Unearthed Words   April cold with dripping rain Willows and lilacs brings again, The whistle of returning birds, And trumpet-lowing of the herds. — Ralph Waldo Emerson, American essayist and poet   Oh, how fresh the wind is blowing! See! The sky is bright and clear, Oh, how green the grass is growing! April! April! Are you here? — Dora Hill Read Goodale, American poet and teacher   A SENSITIVE PLANT in a garden grew,  And the young winds fed it with silver dew,  And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light,  And closed them beneath the kisses of night. The snowdrop, and then the violet,  Arose from the ground with warm rain wet, Then the pied wind-flowers and the tulip tall,  And narcissi, the fairest among them all, And the hyacinth, purple and white and blue,  Which flung from its bells a sweet peal anew And the jessamine faint, and the sweet tuberose,  The sweetest flower for scent that blows;  And all rare blossoms from every clime,—  Grew in that garden in perfect prime. And the sinuous paths of lawn and of moss,  Which led through the garden along and across,  Some open at once to the sun and the breeze,  Some lost among bowers of blossoming trees, The plumèd insects swift and free,  Like golden boats on a sunny sea,  Laden with light and odor, which pass  Over the gleam of the living grass; And Spring arose on the garden fair, Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere; And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast Rose from the dreams of its wintry rest." — Percy Bysshe Shelley, English romantic poet, The Sensitive Plant   Grow That Garden Library The Bee Cottage by FrancesSchultz The subtitle to this lighthearted book is “How I Made a Muddle of Things and Decorated My Way Back to Happiness” and the book was published in 2015. This book was inspired by Frances's popular House Beautiful magazine series on the makeover of her East Hampton house that she calls Bee Cottage. Frances had intended this book to be a decorating book, but it evolved into so much more. It's a memoir combining beautiful photos of Bee Cottage inside and out - and a compelling personal story - Frances's story. This book is perfect for this time of year when we're trying to come up with all kinds of ideas for our home and garden. It’s loaded with inspiring images and snapshots. In this book, Frances shared what she learned during all her renovations of Bee Cottage. We get a sneak peek into how she decided each area of the house and garden would be used and furnished. From a personal standpoint, Frances came to discover that, like decorating a home or planting a garden, our Lives must adapt to who we are and what we need along the way. And, I love this little poem that Frances uses to start out her book - along with a picture of one of her garden gates it's got a little bee cut out at the top of it.) The poem goes like this: He who loves an old house Never loves in vain, How can an old house, Used to sun and rain, To lilac and to larkspur, And an elm above, Ever fail to answer The heart that gives it love? Next, Frances shows a picture of her cottage before it became Bee Cottage. “ It was a little run-down but it had curb appeal but not much love”. And she wrote, “I felt a bit that way myself.” And here's the how the story of Bee Cottage starts: “I'd planned to make Bee Cottage the perfect place to begin my second marriage. I'd bought it with my fiance's Blessing. It was great for us and for his two sons. Though the house was old and needed work, I relished the prospect. if only I'd been as optimistic about the marriage, but the story of Bee Cottage begins, I'm sorry to say, with heartbreak. After the wedding invitations were sent, after gifts received, after the ridiculously expensive dress made, after deposits paid, after a house bought... I called it off. I wish I could say he was a jerk and a cad, but he wasn't. He was and is a great guy. The relationship failed because we were just not a fit. And there I was with a house and the dawning that everything I had dreamed it would be would now be something else entirely.” And that is the beginning of the Bee Cottage story. This is a great and light-hearted book for this time of year as you're making plans for your own nest. If you're looking for a nice escape from the heaviness of this time we're living through, this book would be an excellent choice. It’s lovely. You can get a used copy of The Bee Cottage by Frances Schultz and support the show, using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for under $4.   Today’s Botanic Spark In honor of John Burroughs’ first book, Wake-Robin, I found a little-known poem by Rebecca Salsbury Palfrey Utter (Books by this author) called The Wake-Robin. Rebecca was a descendant of Gene Williams Palfrey who served with George Washington and served as ambassador to France. When she was 28, she became the wife of a Chicago minister named David Utter. Thereafter, Rebecca worked beside David as a missionary and she coined the now-popular term “Daughter of the King” in one of her more popular poems. Here’s The Wake-Robin by Rebecca Salsbury Palfrey Utter. THE WAKE-ROBIN (or trillium) When leaves green and hardy From sleep have just uncurled — Spring is so tardy In this part of the world — There comes a white flower forth, Opens its eyes, Looks out upon the earth, In drowsy surprise. A fair and pleasant vision The nodding blossoms make ; And the flower's name and mission Is "Wake, robin, wake !” But you're late, my lady, You have not earned your name ; Robin's up already, Long before you came. You trusted the sun's glances, To rouse you from your naps; Or the brook that near you dances At spring's approach, perhaps ; Your chamber was too shady, The drooping trees among ; Robin's up already, Don't you hear his song? There he sits, swinging, ‘ In his brown and scarlet cloak, His notes like laughter ringing ; Tis plain he sees the joke. "Accidents will happen,” Laughs robin loud and clear ; "If you think to catch me napping, Wake earlier next year!"

SPEAKERS Carolyn Burke Author, Foursome: Alfred Stieglitz, Georgia O’Keeffe, Paul Strand, Rebecca Salsbury In Conversation with Julia Flynn Siler Book Juror, Commonwealth Club California This program was recorded in front of a live audience at The Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on April 10th, 2019.

Foursome is the spirited account of the intense relationship among four artists whose strong personalities, passionate feelings and aesthetic ideals drew them together, pulled them apart and profoundly influenced 20th-century art. In 1921, Alfred Stieglitz, the most influential figure in early 20th-century photography, celebrated the success of his latest New York City exhibition, whose centerpiece was a series of nude portraits of the young Georgia O'Keeffe (soon to be his wife). It was also a turning point for both O'Keeffe and Rebecca Salsbury, the fiancée of Stieglitz's protégé at the time, Paul Strand. In the years that followed, O'Keeffe and Stieglitz became the preeminent couple in American modern art, spurring each other's creativity. Observing that relationship led Salsbury to encourage new artistic possibilities for Strand and to rethink her own potential as an artist. In fact, it was Salsbury, the least known of the four, who was the main thread that wove the two couples' lives together. Carolyn Burke mines this foursome's correspondence to reveal how each inspired, provoked and unsettled the others while pursuing their own artistic innovations.

As I was preparing for today’s show, I kept thinking about this quote from John Burrows: "... One's own landscape comes in time to be a sort of outlying part of himself; he has sowed himself broadcast upon it, and it reflects his own moods and feelings; he is sensitive to the verge of the horizon: cut those trees, he bleeds; mar those hills, and he suffers."   Think about your own landscape. If it is an outlying part of yourself, what does is reflect about your mood and feelings? Controlled and manicured? Wild and wooly? Relaxed and comfortable? Unsure or confused?   Where are you at today? Where were you a year ago? 5 years ago? 10 years ago? Where do you want to be this season?   We are not static. As my youngest son said to me the first time he ate spaghetti sauce on his noodles, “People can change, Mom.” We are not static… and our gardens aren’t either.   Brevities Naturalist, poet and philosopher John Burroughs (books by this author) was born on a dairy farm on this date in 1837.

Anchored by deep reflection and scientific knowledge, A Wilder Time is a portrait of an ancient, nearly untrammeled world that holds the secrets of our planet’s deepest past, even as it accelerates into our rapidly changing future. The book bears the literary, scientific, philosophic, and poetic qualities of a nature-writing classic, the rarest mixture of beauty and scholarship.   William E. Glassley is a geologist at the University of California, Davis, and an emeritus researcher at Aarhus University, Denmark, focusing on the evolution of continents and the processes that energize them. He received his PhD from the University of Washington, Seattle, and is the author of over seventy research articles and a textbook on geothermal energy. He lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.   Other notable recognized authors include Rachel Carson for her book The Sea Around Us and Aldo Leopold for A Sand County Almanac.   Today's Garden Chore Today’s to-do is to add a magnifying glass to your garden tote.

Pandora TV1. Il Giro d'Italia parte da Israele nel quarto venerdì di proteste a GazaIl Giro d'Italia parte oggi, venerdi' 4 maggio, da Israele, contemporaneamente al quarto venerdi' di proteste nella Striscia di Gaza. Per la prima volta fuori dai confini europei, si articolera' in tre tappe, fra Gerusalemme ed Eilat e terminera' domenica 6. Una vetrina in cui il governo israeliano ha investito milioni di euro,e che tuttavia oscura completamente l'occupazione illegale dei territori palestinesi e gli almeno 44 morti e numerosi feriti durante le proteste della Grande Marcia del ritorno a Gaza. Fra questi, ironia della sorte, un ciclista professionista palestinese di 21 anni, Alaa al-Dali, ferito alla gamba proprio a Gaza il 30 marzo ed il cui arto e' stato amputato dopo che le autorita' israeliane hanno negato l'accesso a ulteriori cure. Il movimento di boicottaggio di Israele BDS ed altre ONG protestano, inoltre, contro la dicitura Gerusalemme invece che Gerusalemme Ovest, dando cosi' per scontato che la Citta' Santa sia di fatto la capitale di Israele ed avallando l'occupazione illegale di Gerusalemme Est. Ed evidenziano le contraddizioni: mentre l'organizzazione italiana RCS Sport punta ad una "internazionalizzazione dello sport esportando l'Italia nel mondo", a novembre scorso le autorita' israeliane hanno negato i visti agli atleti palestinesi che dovevano gareggiare in Tunisia. Su tutti questi aspetti sinora si registra un silenzio assordante dei media mainstream, italiani e non.2. Provocazioni chimiche e petrolioIn arrivo, in Siria, un'altra provocazione chimica a firma USA. Secondo la stampa russa, che cita una fonte anonima all'interno della Difesa siriana, la nuova messinscena sara' coordinata dall'ex membro di Daesh, Mishan Idriz al-Hamash. Il luogo designato per le riprese, il campo petrolifero di al-Jafra, a 27 km a Est di Deir el-Zor, dove starebbero gia' arrivando gli “attori”. Stavolta, pero', gli operatori potrebbero non essere i Caschi Bianchi, che stando alla CBS, non ricevono piu' finanziamenti dal Dipartimento di Stato americano, vedendo quindi il proprio budget diminuire di ben un terzo. Ma Washington non ha rinunciato alla guerra: continua, infatti, ad addestrare i tagliagole nell'area di al-Tanf e di Rukban. Lo ha dichiarato il capo della diplomazia russa, Sergej Lavrov, che intervistato da Panorama, aggiunge: “benche' gli Stati Uniti abbiano giurato solennemente che il loro unico obiettivo era quello di cacciare i terroristi fuori dal Paese, in pratica si sono solidamente installati sulla riva orientale dell'Eufrate e puntano sul collasso della Siria”. Complessivamente, in Siria e in Iraq, ci sarebbero ora circa 5 mila soldati americani, fa sapere il Pentagono. Cui si aggiunge, pero', un numero imprecisato di mercenari, di cui Washington si e' servito attivamente dai tempi della guerra in Iraq.3. Noviciòk prodotto anche in Repubblica Ceca, crolla l'impalcatura di LondraIl presidente della Repubblica Ceca, Milosz Zeman dichiara in tv che il gas Noviciòk è stato sperimentato e prodotto in piccole quantità nei laboratori della Repubblica Ceca. Le televisioni russe hanno dato grande rilievo alla notizia. E si spiega: perché essa è l’ennesima — ma autorevole — smentita della accusa mossa alla Russia da Theresa May, la quale aveva dichiarato inequivocabile la firma russa dell’attentato a Skripal. In realtà sospetti assai pesanti sull’uso del gas Noviciòk nel caso di Skripal e della figlia Julia sono stati sollevati anche dalla dichiarazione di uno dei medici curanti, dell’Ospedale di Salsbury, il quale, scrivendo al Time di Londra, disse che nessuno dei tre avvelenati (i due Skripal e una guardia) presentò sintomi di avvelenamento da gas. Infine, se fosse stato il gas Noviciòk, i tre non sarebbero sopravvissuti. Il fatto evidente è che l’intera impalcatura dell’accusa britannica contro la Russia sta crollando.4. Teheran su YouTube: non rinegozieremo l'accordo “Non intendiamo appaltare la nostra sicurezza, ne' rinegoziare o ampliare un accordo che abbiamo gia' implementato in buona fede”. Non usa mezzi termini il capo della diplomazia iraniana, Mohammad Javad Zarif, che in un video in inglese pubblicato, giovedi', su YouTube, aggiunge: “gli Stati Uniti, al contrario, hanno costantemente violato l'accordo, in particolare dissuadendo gli altri Paesi dal fare affari con l'Iran”. “Quando si compra una casa”, continua il diplomatico iraniano, “e ci si trasferisce con la propria famiglia, oppure la si demolisce per costruire un grattacielo al suo posto, non si puo' tornare indietro due anni dopo e rinegoziare il prezzo”. Una chiara allusione al business di Donald Trump, che il prossimo 12 maggio sara' chiamato a esprimersi sul futuro dell'intesa. “Se gli Stati Uniti continueranno a violare l'accordo, o se si ritireranno una volta per tutte, eserciteremo il nostro diritto di rispondere in un modo di nostra scelta”, avverte Javad Zarif. Mosca, da parte sua, lancia un monito: “con il ritiro di Washington, il mondo perdera' uno dei documenti più importanti sul regime di non proliferazione delle armi nucleari”. Ai microfoni della BBC, anche il Segretario generale dell'ONU, Antonio Guterres, chiede alla Casa Bianca di restare nell'intesa, che definisce “un'importante vittoria diplomatica”. 5. Parlamento Europeo: le elezioni venezuelane vanno sospese Con 492 voti favorevoli, 87 contrari e 77 astensioni, il Parlamento Europeo ha chiesto ieri, giovedi' 3 maggio, "la sospensione immediata" delle elezioni presidenziali anticipate in Venezuela e di rinviarle "fino a quando non saranno soddisfatte le condizioni per elezioni credibili, trasparenti e inclusive". Un voto che trova il sostegno del Capo della Diplomazia europea, Federica Mogherini. Nella nota ufficiale del Parlamento si legge che "l'esclusione dalle elezioni del MUD, il tavolo di unita' democratica che raccoglie le opposizioni, rappresenta una violazione del principio di elezioni eque". Ci si dimentica, pero', che il MUD non e' stato affatto escluso, ma ha ripetutamente boicottato tutti i tavoli dei negoziati, boicottaggio disertato dal candidato di destra Henri Falcon, che di fatto partecipa alle elezioni. Ma tanto basta perche' la notizia del voto europeo venga ripresa immediatamente da giornali mainstream come Washington Post, mentre mercoledi' il FMI ha criticato il Venezuela per non aver fornito dati corretti su importazioni ed esportazioni. Maduro ha ribattuto di non curarsi dell'opinione delle oligarchie europee e statunitensi. Ci si chiede, inoltre, su che basi legali l'Unione Europea possa pronunciarsi in maniera cosi' netta sulle elezioni di uno stato sovrano sudamericano.6. Il CIO si appella contro la decisione del tribunale sportivo che ha scagionato 28 atleti russi Il Comitato Olimpico internazionale ricorrerà in appello contro la decisione del SAS, il tribunale di arbitraggio sportivo, che ha recentemente scagionato 28 dei 39 atleti squalificati a vita per doping. Il portavoce del CIO ha detto che l’organizzazione olimpica mondiale rimane ancorata alla “tolleranza zero nei confronti della violazione dei valori sportivi” e, per quanto concerne la sentenza dei giudici sportivi (le cui motivazioni ancora non sono pubbliche) non contiene "esplicite dichiarazioni di innocenza degli atleti”. Ha aggiunto che il ricorso non è stato deciso “per ottenere una vittoria”, ma "per una questione di principio”. “Siamo insoddisfatti per la decisione e le sue motivazioni”, ha aggiunto. L’appello sarà indirizzato a un Tribunale Federale Svizzero. Le autorità russe avevano riconosciuto alcune trasgressioni ma hanno sempre negato l’esistenza di un programma di stato a sostegno del doping.

Pandora TV1. Il Giro d'Italia parte da Israele nel quarto venerdì di proteste a GazaIl Giro d'Italia parte oggi, venerdi' 4 maggio, da Israele, contemporaneamente al quarto venerdi' di proteste nella Striscia di Gaza. Per la prima volta fuori dai confini europei, si articolera' in tre tappe, fra Gerusalemme ed Eilat e terminera' domenica 6. Una vetrina in cui il governo israeliano ha investito milioni di euro,e che tuttavia oscura completamente l'occupazione illegale dei territori palestinesi e gli almeno 44 morti e numerosi feriti durante le proteste della Grande Marcia del ritorno a Gaza. Fra questi, ironia della sorte, un ciclista professionista palestinese di 21 anni, Alaa al-Dali, ferito alla gamba proprio a Gaza il 30 marzo ed il cui arto e' stato amputato dopo che le autorita' israeliane hanno negato l'accesso a ulteriori cure. Il movimento di boicottaggio di Israele BDS ed altre ONG protestano, inoltre, contro la dicitura Gerusalemme invece che Gerusalemme Ovest, dando cosi' per scontato che la Citta' Santa sia di fatto la capitale di Israele ed avallando l'occupazione illegale di Gerusalemme Est. Ed evidenziano le contraddizioni: mentre l'organizzazione italiana RCS Sport punta ad una "internazionalizzazione dello sport esportando l'Italia nel mondo", a novembre scorso le autorita' israeliane hanno negato i visti agli atleti palestinesi che dovevano gareggiare in Tunisia. Su tutti questi aspetti sinora si registra un silenzio assordante dei media mainstream, italiani e non.2. Provocazioni chimiche e petrolioIn arrivo, in Siria, un'altra provocazione chimica a firma USA. Secondo la stampa russa, che cita una fonte anonima all'interno della Difesa siriana, la nuova messinscena sara' coordinata dall'ex membro di Daesh, Mishan Idriz al-Hamash. Il luogo designato per le riprese, il campo petrolifero di al-Jafra, a 27 km a Est di Deir el-Zor, dove starebbero gia' arrivando gli “attori”. Stavolta, pero', gli operatori potrebbero non essere i Caschi Bianchi, che stando alla CBS, non ricevono piu' finanziamenti dal Dipartimento di Stato americano, vedendo quindi il proprio budget diminuire di ben un terzo.

Josh Salsbury was a trombonist in the freelance scene in LA. He had his own ensemble and was starting to play Hollywood blockbuster movie soundtracks when he decided to give up the trombone and pursue his new dream of woodworking. Josh now works full time designing and buliding custom furniture by hand. Josh talks very honestly and openly about his journey, and the inner doubts and struggles he battled with along the way to finally having the realization that being a musician just wasn't for him. Luckily for Josh, his passion for woodworking fulfilled all the creative aspects of being a musician that he loved, while being a better fit for him as a profession overall.  Josh talks about his experiences as a trombonist, and especially the incredible experience of playing the soundtrack for Spiderman 3. He chats with Marie about the LA freelance scene and what it's like when you finally get called to play the big movie soundtracks. We also talk about Josh's life now – how he considers making his customized and individual pieces of furniture as a creative art like music, and how interestingly enough, the same challenges he faced as a trombonist carried over into woodworking as well. Josh works as a freelance and independent furniture maker – but he also a member working at the Offerman woodshop, a workshop owned a run by the television actor, Nick Offerman.

Part 2? hmmm... not really more like a bonus mix for "Salsbury..." mix.

For SB. Hang on tight/loose!

Match Reaction to the 0-0 draw on saturday away to Salsbury

When I attended the National Speaker Association’s Convention this summer for the first time, I had no idea what to expect. Obviously, I expected to learn how to hone my speaking skills. Stupidly, I didn’t think I’d see soul-touching, heart-bursting speakers. But Glenna Salsbury was one of the first for that week and she stuck with me long after. Glenna is sought after because she is magnetic, she is generous, but she is mostly an expert at cultivating personal relationships - and in this episode, she shares the best ways to do that. BONUS: learn the hilarious way she met her late husband, Jim Salsbury, former Detroit Lion and Green Bay Packer.
