Brandy shares a pivotal insight from her own healing journey that later helped a volunteer named Sheridan experience a remarkable breakthrough after struggling with chronic pain and emotional hurt for decades. After more than 20 years of personal development work, Sheridan was deeply committed to healing, yet she estimated she spent approximately 90% of her time in bed due to severe physical pain. During their session, Brandy helped her begin working with her mind differently, leading Sheridan to reduce her reported pain from a level eight to a level three. In this episode, Brandy explains: One pivotal insight that may help make self-healing feel easier Why trying harder is not always what creates a different result What helped Sheridan begin shifting after decades of personal development Why the way you work with your mind matters What fascinating mind-body research can reveal about rapid change How one counterintuitive shift may change what feels possible This episode is not about ignoring painful experiences, suppressing emotions, or pretending the past didn't happen. Instead, it offers a deeper understanding of how the mind works so you can begin approaching healing in a way that supports greater progress, transformation, and lasting change. Sometimes, one new insight can completely change the way you approach self-healing—and open the door to what's truly possible.

Wonder Dynamics co-founders Tye Sheridan and Nikola Todorovic join GG Hawkins to explain how their filmmaking backgrounds shaped the development of AI-powered production tools for artists. They trace the company's evolution from an interactive storytelling startup to Autodesk Flow Studio, a tool designed to transfer live-action performances to CG characters while preserving creative control and compatibility with established VFX pipelines. The conversation covers Hollywood's changing relationship with artificial intelligence, the potential for lower-cost sci-fi filmmaking, Autodesk's acquisition of Wonder Dynamics, the continuing importance of marketing and distribution, and how emerging filmmakers can prepare for an AI-integrated industry. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guests Tye Sheridan and Nikola Todorovic discuss... How Sheridan and Todorovic met while working on Last Days in the Desert and bonded over their interest in making independent science-fiction films Why the expense of CG and visual effects inspired them to pursue a lower-budget, “Blumhouse model” for sci-fi and animation Wonder Dynamics' pivot from interactive narratives to AI tools focused on film production Why AI filmmaking technology should be developed by people who understand professional production and post-production workflows The differences between tools made for social media content and tools made for long-form narrative filmmaking Why editability, control, and compatibility with established VFX pipelines became central to Autodesk Flow Studio How Autodesk Flow Studio captures a performance from single-camera footage and transfers it to a CG character without a traditional motion-capture stage Why Sheridan and Todorovic do not believe an actor's performance should be generated entirely through prompts Hollywood's pushback against AI during the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes and the industry's gradual shift toward discussing responsible use How filmmakers can evaluate AI tools according to their ethics, usefulness, and respect for artistic control The potential for AI to lower production costs and help independent filmmakers create ambitious sci-fi and VFX-heavy projects Why cheaper production does not eliminate the challenges of marketing, distribution, and audience discovery How short films, YouTube projects, commercials, and music videos can serve as testing grounds for new filmmaking technology The opportunity to create visually ambitious genre films that remain grounded in original ideas and character-driven storytelling What Autodesk's acquisition of Wonder Dynamics provides in terms of 3D expertise, scale, resources, and integration How small production teams have used Autodesk Flow Studio to revive scripts they previously could not afford to produce Why future filmmakers may see AI as an ordinary part of every creative tool rather than a separate category Sheridan's advice to practice whenever an opportunity appears and learn from every film set Todorovic's advice to persistently seek mentors and approach experienced professionals with genuine curiosity Memorable Quotes: “For us, that became our core theme, is just building something for artists that leaves them in control.” “AI is like the Internet. You can't just say AI is bad or AI is good. It means so many different things. It really depends on how you're using it and whether or not you're maintaining the integrity of the artist process.” “We're kind of allowing distribution to everybody, we're going to allow the production to everybody, but now it's a matter of being discovered.” “Be stubborn, be persistent, and try to find the best mentor you can possibly think of, someone you admire, and then just bother them with emails for six months.

Hollywood is not trying to stop a monopoly by blocking the Paramount Skydance merger with Warner Bros. It's trying to protect one.If a monopoly means near-complete control over what gets made, promoted, and rewarded, then much of Hollywood and the cultural institutions around it operate under the ideological consensus of the Left and the Democratic Party. Why do the Obamas have a long-running production deal at Netflix? Why do the Emmys consistently elevate late-night hosts whose politics align with that consensus? Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart? Do you think they'd ever nominate Greg Gutfeld, whose show often tops them all in ratings? If that isn't an ideological monopoly, I don't know what is. Why did major awards shows stay silent on Charlie Kirk? Why did so many artists cancel Kennedy Center appearances after its Trump-era changes, and why did multiple acts drop out of America 250 events?David Ellison and Paramount Skydance are attempting something brave and unprecedented: an outside challenge to that consensus. Their roughly $110 billion bid for Warner Bros. Discovery would give them control of a major studio, HBO/Max, CNN, and a large portfolio of cable and streaming assets. While there has been some resistance to the biggest mergers in recent history, we've never seen anything like #blockthemerger. Meet the new resistance, same as the old resistance. 12 state attorneys general, including California, have sued to block the deal. The Writers Guild of America has filed its own antitrust lawsuit. SAG-AFTRA has publicly opposed the merger, though it has not joined the litigation. Opposition also includes the Future Film Coalition (which leads the #BlockTheMerger campaign), Democracy Defenders Fund, Committee for the First Amendment, Free Press, the International Documentary Association, and the American Economic Liberties Project, among others. More than 5,600 industry figures have signed an open letter against the deal, including Mark Ruffalo, Jane Fonda, Javier Bardem, Elliot Page, Emma Thompson, Ben Stiller, and Cynthia Nixon.Paramount Skydance has, for now, delayed closing. Can they hold the line under this unprecedented pressure campaign? Hope springs eternal. But you won't read about that point of view in any of the trades. They're a monopoly, too. Most of them are owned by the same entity, Penske Eldridge. Just today, it was announced that the Hollywood Foreign Press, the former owners of the Golden Globes, are suing Jay Penske for $150 million. They are claiming Penske orchestrated their downfall so he could buy the Golden Globes. Jay Penske already owns Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Indiewire, Gold Derby predicting site, Rolling Stone, a virtual monopoly on the awards race from soup to nuts. Gold Derby shapes the nominees, the trades take ads from the studios and the Golden Globes hand out the awards. But wouldn't you know, when Rebecca Keegan wrote a hit piece on me, she did so in the Hollywood Reporter, owned by Penske Eldridge. I was a vocal and prominent critic of Penske's growing monopolistic power on the awards race and one of the few willing to speak out. With one hit piece, the Penske company took out both a competitor for ad money and a pesky nuisance for the brand. That is what you call a monopoly. A Climate of Fear and A Culture of SilenceI found out firsthand how monopolies work in Hollywood when I was canceled in 2024. The day a Hollywood Reporter story labeled me a “MAGA darling,” one studio pulled its ads from my site that day. The last thing they wanted was to be associated with an accused and condemned witch.It was shocking how many of them fell in line in robotic fashion, gripped with fear. The response was swift and uniform. Every writer on my site left to protect their reputations. Friends of fifteen years ended the friendship. My Oscars ticket was revoked. Jane Fonda's Women's Media Center fired me from their annual Oscars report. Screening and party invitations dried up. I was benched on Gold Derby.Worst of all, the lucrative studio ad buys for the Oscars and Emmys vanished. As it all collapsed, I remembered in 2012, an advertising strategist telling me I could be making far more money if I sold the site better. “You have no baggage to speak of,” she'd said.That was true then. I was one of the few independent Oscar sites left, and still am, known around town for being honest to a fault. I stayed independent even as the ad money made life more comfortable for me and my daughter than it had ever been.There was never any question why my career ended in Hollywood: I had been outed as a Trump voter. I was on the wrong side of Hollywood's progressive orthodoxy, and that meant I was finished.How it started…I started Oscarwatch.com as a single mom with a one-year-old baby living in a studio guest house in Van Nuys, California, in 1999. I was an early web pioneer with a 1200-baud modem and a really good idea. I was already catching the attention of publicists and rocking the boat, as all of us amateurs did back then. We were moving fast and breaking things. Traditional media was not ready. The studios weren't either. They were used to having a monopoly on Oscar FYC ads in Variety and the Hollywood Reporter, their bread and butter. Until the blogs came along.By 2006, I was starting to make money because my little site had birthed a big bang of other Oscar sites, and by then even the New York Times had an Oscar blogger, the late great David Carr, who called himself the Carpetbagger.David Carr became a mentor of sorts and encouraged me to sell ads for myself, rather than piggyback off bigger sites. I was working three jobs by then: as a horoscope writer under a pseudonym (Laura Wilde), a janitor working my dad's routes because he was a good guy and knew I needed the money, and a freelance film critic.Right around then, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences sued me for trademark infringement, and my site was renamed AwardsDaily.com. Now I was cleared to start making real money.David Carr was horrified that I was working as a janitor while the trades were raking in millions on Oscar ads and encouraged me to start sending out RFPs. But I didn't have to, because before long the studios were sending them to me. My site became so influential that I never really had to pitch to them. They all wanted real estate on my site. Who could ever have imagined that? Certainly not me, someone who got online in 1994 back when no one thought you could make money on the internet.One of the first studios that bought ads was Fox Searchlight, an awards subsidiary of Fox. I called it Big Fox and Little Fox, and both advertised on my site. When I got my first $15,000 just to run ads, I was stunned. That was more money than I had ever seen on a check. I was just kind of faking it, pretending I knew what I was doing, but I really didn't.Of course, it was also about promoting films the studio wanted to place in the Oscar race, and that's still what it's about. It's not exactly pay-to-play, but most of the bloggers making money in the Oscar game are grateful and help keep the advertisers' movies prominent. I did too.I barely noticed in 2019 when Disney bought Fox for $71 billion. The Writers Guild objected to the merger, just as they have to the Paramount Skydance merger with Warner Bros., but there was nowhere near the same amount of public outcry.Trump praised the Disney/Fox merger after having attempted to stop the 2018 merger of AT&T and Time Warner, leading to a trial, but the judge ruled against the Trump administration, and the deal went through. Again, no major public outcry.At some point after 2020, I'd noticed that Disney had stopped advertising on my site. I wrote it off as their shying away from my comments on “gender affirming care” for kids. I'll never know exactly why, but all I do know is that once the merger went through, Fox and Fox Searchlight also stopped advertising. The Paramount/Skydance merger with Warner Bros. is significantly higher and covers more territory than any of the major corporate mergers we've seen as Hollywood reshuffles the deck amid the shift to streaming. Warner Bros. was selling. The only question was whether Netflix or Paramount Skydance would buy it. Both deals would have had the blessing of the Trump administration.But because it's David Ellison and the team that bought CBS, and because Trump is an ally, the Democrats and the Left have turned #BlockTheMerger into another No Kings protest or battle for the “resistance.”After the story about me broke in the Hollywood Reporter, Netflix also stopped advertising. No other studio except Focus Features, an adjunct of Universal, had the courage to run ads on my site. I was now officially blacklisted. Emails to the various studio reps went unanswered.This past year, Paramount bought a modest ad package on my site for the Emmys to celebrate the success of Landman and The Madison. I felt lucky to get it, and it was a sign, at least to me, that Paramount, like Focus Features, was brave enough to take a chance on someone deemed too toxic by the industry.Landman, Taylor Sheridan's Billy Bob Thornton drama, had become one of Paramount+'s biggest hits: its first season averaged 15.8 million viewers in Nielsen's cross-platform ratings and ranked among the top 10 series of the 2024-25 season. Season 2 opened to a Paramount+ record 9.2 million views in its first few days and continued to dominate the streaming charts, at one point leading all multiplatform viewing with more than 14 million. The Madison, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, launched as Sheridan's biggest series debut yet, drawing 8 million views in its first 10 days.But unfortunately, #blockthemerger had bled into the awards ecosystem, which remains a closed loop. Sure enough, when the Emmy nominations arrived, the Paramount shows were completely blanked—even Billy Bob Thornton in Landman and Michelle Pfeiffer in The Madison. Kathy Bates was similarly overlooked for Matlock.If Gold Derby shapes the Emmy nominations, and they do, they have to similarly play ball by blacklisting all Paramount Plus's most popular shows, proving to American audiences that the industry does not care about what they want or what they watch. Sheridan has transformed much of the television landscape, thanks to Paramount Plus. If Paramount buys Warner Bros., they won't be creating a monopoly but breaking one up. The Death RattleI know I should walk away from this industry and give up the site that took me 26 years to build. But I just can't do that. I can't let them win. Now that I've walked in the shoes of the other half of the country, I can clearly see why Hollywood's empire is collapsing. If ratings and box office don't matter, neither do audiences. None of this is about artistic freedom or making better movies or television shows. This is the Left flexing its muscle in an attempt to keep all of Hollywood to itself, to push its ideology on the people, to convert them, to indoctrinate them, to “correct them,” everything but entertaining them. Most of all, though, it is about one man: Donald Trump and their failure to stop him, destroy him, kill him, or exile him and his supporters. This is one of the most exciting times to be living through in American history, but you'd never know it by the movies and TV shows Hollywood pumps out. Their monoculture, their one-sided point of view, has choked the life out of Hollywood. If they could make fun of themselves, if they could humanize their fellow Americans, they might be able to tell stories that resonate with everyone. Maybe, just maybe, they would breathe new life into a decaying organism.But they can't risk it. Like the Democrats who don't trust the people with elections, Hollywood doesn't trust them with the culture.Elon Musk spent $44 billion to take Twitter out of the hands of its previous gatekeepers. Ellison is now trying to pry open a crack in the thick shell of Hollywood's product and return more of it to market forces and all of those people Hollywood left behind. // This is a public episode.

Debbie Sheridan has spent her career helping people understand fearful dogs—and unlearning the idea that "obedience" is the goal. As the owner of Debbie's for Dogs, a certified end-of-life doula for companion animals, and a dog bite prevention educator, Debbie brings warmth, directness, and a deep respect for what dogs are actually communicating. In this conversation, she talks about the message on her favorite sweatshirt ("celebrate the growl"), why she asks clients to replace "sit" with "wait," and how kindness isn't just a philosophy, but a practice she traces back to sixth grade. https://colleenpelar.com/168-debbie-sheridan-uw-aab
This week's Visit opens with a grin and a shuffle as STS barges in with a commercial only they could dream up. From there, Will eases us into Critter Corner, talkin' about the way animals play when no one's lookin'—the kind of small truths that make a person feel less alone in the world.The Buckaroos take the reins next with a soft waltz, “A Chance on Livin',” a tune that hangs in the rafters like dust motes in late‑day sun. Then Will steps into The Answer is No, lettin' that poignant letter at the end land gentle but sure, the way hard truths sometimes do.After that, Will turns toward the old miner immigrants who carved out a life near Sheridan, speakin' on the sweetness they chased and the sweetness they found. And to close it all out, the Buckaroos throw their shoulders into La Dolce Vita Swing, a number lively enough to make even the Arts Council folks sit up straight and smile wide.Dawson's Den is supported in part by a grant from the Wyoming Arts Council with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Wyoming Legislature.Music Credits:A Chance on Livin' by Will Dawson, 2026La Dolce Vita Swing by Will Dawson, 2026Algo‑Critter Feed (for the little digital grazers):Wyoming stories, Critter Corner, animal behavior, playful wildlife, frontier waltz, Western swing, poignant letters, immigrant miners, Sheridan history, sweet life, Buckaroos music, La Dolce Vita Swing, storytelling podcast, American West, cozy radio theater, rustic comedy, mythic realism, variety show, Montana mornings, cowboy culture
Robert Donat & Madeleine Carroll were due for a reviewin' on Have You Ever Seen, so episode #753 has them starring in a Hitchcock movie. Ol' Al has come up a lot on this channel...and The 39 Steps isn't even in his Top 10 best movies. This fun thriller was one of his best movies made in England, sure, but his resume is filled with plenty of better stuff. In this one (where the title itself is Hitch's "McGuffin"), Donat pulls off repeatedly impressive escapes, even though he's an ordinary and innocent man falsely accused. That's a regular Hitchcock trope...and the end result is highly entertaining. Then I talked Ann Sheridan in Norman Foster's Woman On The Run. She's a cool customer who has to outfox the cops and also a curious reporter (Dennis O'Keefe) to find her husband, who fled after witnessing a murder. Sheridan is a big name I've never reviewed either...and this not-so-famous flick ended up being a solid bit of entertainment too. To tell me YOUR thoughts about The 39 Steps and/or Woman On The Run, fire off an email (haveyoueverseenpodcast@gmail.com). Tweet me (@moviefiend51) or Bluesky me (Ryan-Ellis). I'm on Letterboxd (RyanHYES). Also, subscribe to this show, rate it, review it and spread the word to your fellow film fans.

Christa was responsible and dependable. Being a no-call, no-show simply wasn't like her.What followed was a missing-person investigation, a mysterious phone call, and two primary suspects — until police finally uncovered the truth about what happened to Christa Sallani.Listen now to hear the full story.

Visit Ely, Minnesota for fun things to do year-round! Whether you are looking for a place to stay, a delicious meal, a hiking trail, or an immersion experience, we have businesses ready to meet your needs.Stephanie Hansen (00:00:00)Hello, everybody, and welcome to Dishing with Stephanie's Dish, the podcast where we talk to people in the food space typically, but also in the wellness spaces and all the beautiful spaces. I'm here today with Kate Kalan and she is with Etoile du Nord, which is a new spa that is located in Ely, Minnesota. And many of you know Ely is my second home. it is the home of the True North Cabin Cookbook where I wrote the books. And also I have a cabin here.And it's been kind of a summer. So I typically go back and forth between the twin cities and here. And Kate, you and I have never met, but I'm really excited about your new spa. You guys opened, was it last summer?Kate (00:00:43)Last spring, yeah, Earth Day we opened. So we're on summer number two now. ⁓Stephanie Hansen (00:00:46)So so Kate, tell me about how you found yourself in Ely.Kate (00:01:40)So I was born and raised here. ⁓ I left to go to school, work in the cities for many, many years. ⁓ and then COVID happened ⁓ and I decided to come home. ⁓ So ⁓ I work remotely ⁓ up here ⁓ and I don't know, I think it was about a year ⁓ working remotely that I ⁓Don't know Stephanie decided to do something different. ⁓ And ⁓ it was yeah, it was one summer my mom and I were were I was trying to get us a pedicure appointment and it was impossible. So ⁓ I was like, I I don't know, let's do this. I don't know what sparked it. I think you know, my parents ran small businesses here when I grew up andStephanie Hansen (00:02:10)Ha ha ha ⁓Stephanie Hansen (00:02:32)Yeah.Kate (00:02:35)I think I had just been talking to like a lot of entrepreneurs at the time. I don't I don't even know, but ⁓Stephanie Hansen (00:02:40)It it it makes sense though, because ⁓ what I noticed during COVID, we would come up in the winter and stay ⁓ we actually spent kind of a lot of time up here that winter ⁓ of the first year of COVID, just probably out of boredom more than anything else. ⁓ And we had free time. So, you know, the Northwoods was so gorgeous and so beautiful. I think that a lot of people came to this area.Kate (00:02:48)Yeah.Stephanie Hansen (00:03:08)In the COVID times, people came from other parts of the country. There were a lot of houses that were purchased. A lot of entrepreneurs came in. And for a town like Ely that has so much of its historical roots in mining, it was pretty neat to see all these entrepreneurs coming to town. So I when you opened your spa, I was like, hooray. And at that time too, another spa, the pebble spa, that was here closed. So people really, I think, appreciated that. opportunity to ⁓ welcome you in. And it started just primarily as nails, but I've noticed you're doing more things now.Kate (00:03:45)Yeah. ⁓ we do manicures, pedicures. ⁓ this summer we brought on an esthetician. So she's doing facials and like light chemical peels. ⁓ and then just recently this month we welcomed ⁓ massage therapists. So Jessie Brooks massage is working out of our our cozy little space. ⁓ so yeah, people are people are excited and so that makes me excited.Stephanie Hansen (00:04:12)So in the summer the population here swells, ⁓ up to like six thousand people. So it grows by like six to sevenfold really. ⁓ is ⁓ like if you and you've only been doing this this is your second year, I would imagine summer is a big part of the business or not.Kate (00:04:25)yeah. ⁓ we made it through ⁓ the winter, ⁓ but summer's a completely different animal. I mean, the girls are are pretty booked and it's wonderful. You know, we have so many seasonal people, just even from last summer who are excited to come back, which is ⁓ awesome to see. ⁓ you know, and then just the regular tourists and visitors, obviously this summer's a little bit different. ⁓ but happy to say we're we're pretty steady, which has been awesome.Stephanie Hansen (00:04:59)It's pretty interesting. I mean, I feel like the city of Ely and the folks in Ely have done a lot to spur winter tourism. I mean, snowmobiling is a big thing. We've got great cross-country ski trails. I mean, there's things like Beard Fest ⁓ and they have the movie festival now. There's also a winter festival, ⁓ ice sculptures, snow sculptures. ⁓ What do you think it would take in your opinion to get more people interested in Ely in the winter?Kate (00:05:31)I mean, I keep saying they should film a Hallmark movie up here. Like ⁓ it's so, you know, it's so cozy in the winter and it's such ⁓ a special place to spend Christmas. ⁓ I just I always say this town has Hallmark vibes and so I really think they should come up here. But ⁓ you know, like you said, there's stuff going on throughout the year. Fall is a beautiful time to visit. We'll have the harvest moon hopefully this year, which will hopefully be bigger than ever. ⁓ they'll have the art walk during that time. Like you said, we have the winter festival, the film festival. We have a new dark sky festival. I mean, they're, you know, we're really trying to get people up here year round. ⁓ obviously it's beautiful right now and and wonderful. So I hope people still ⁓ you know, with respect to the firefighters and everything. ⁓ Yeah.Stephanie Hansen (00:06:20)Yeah, let's talk about that for a second because this will air in the next couple of weeks. And ⁓ on July, what was it, 7th, I believe, ⁓ there was a reignition of an older fire that had started through lightning called the campfire. But also concurrently, there were 14 other fires that were going in the Boundary Waters Canoe area has been really impacted. The small business in particular, they closed the boundary waters for it looks like it'll be a minimum of two weeks and probably a little bit longer. They are starting to open for single day permits near kind of the Tofty Lutzen area, which is ⁓ pretty far from us, about 90 minutes. ⁓ when it it's so hard to balance because I know you live here. I have a home here we have people that are friends we have that are evacuated and then are waiting to get back to their cabin spaces. And yet it's like you're living in this weird universe because I look outside. It's a gorgeous, beautiful day. It feels fine. This is supposed to be the start of the blueberry festival. But I also as I promoted art festivals myself for 25 years. And I know, you know, to bring 40,000 people to town during this whole crisis when you've got 850 fire people on the line trying to protect the town could be seen as irresponsible. It's a very mixed soup of feelings. What are your feelings as we're going into week two of this? ⁓ basically evacuation all around the town of Ely.Kate (00:07:58)Yeah, it's hard. Like you said, I mean, there were a few days where it has never felt like that here with the smoke and ⁓ it it was eerie. ⁓ but it it's beautiful now. The sky is clear. That's not to say we don't still have wildfires happening up there. Like you said, there's like 800 firefighters in town. We have to respect their space, ⁓ we have to respect, you know, the officials' orders.⁓ we have to make sure they have lodging and all of that. And it's it's a shame that Blueberry had to be canceled. But, you know, like you said, bringing thirty, forty thousand people into town on top of that. ⁓ just I understand why that decision was made. ⁓ I just hope we can make up for it, you know, like like you can visit Ely now. ⁓ I mean, the town the town is welcoming you very much so. ⁓And and I hope like I said in the fall and just when things calm down a little bit, ⁓ people will kind of make more of an effort and and think to to come up here and enjoy the leaves and ⁓ and plan some fall activities up here.Stephanie Hansen (00:09:13)We're getting good vibes, I think, from the city folks and the people in the surrounding areas. A lot of people wanna know what they can do to help. Is there something specific to you and your business that people could do to help?Kate (00:09:26)Come visit us, come make appointments. ⁓ yeah, our nail girls are are booking out and we're trying to fill up our esthetician schedule. ⁓ but yeah, we're lucky to have a lot of local clients ⁓ who are very loyal and and just summer visitors who haven't had to evacuate, thankfully. ⁓ but there's a lot of stuff going on in town. The Ely Community Response has a growing list of ways to help. I just saw right before we hopped on actually, ⁓ there's like a fund that that people are working on United Way, I think. ⁓ Yeah.Stephanie Hansen (00:10:03)Yeah, the United Way of the Northeast has established a fund that is accepting donations. I'll put a link to it in the show notes. There's three kind of pillars, and you can ⁓ sp specify your donation to go to one of the pillars, one being the small businesses in Ely, one being ⁓ nonprofits, and then the other one to wildfire fighting in the area. So that's pretty cool that they've established a line directly to small businesses.I know a lot of people are ⁓ encouraging gift cards.

Visit Ely, Minnesota for fun things to do year-round! Whether you are looking for a place to stay, a delicious meal, a hiking trail, or an immersion experience, we have businesses ready to meet your needs.Stephanie Hansen (00:00:00)Hello, everybody, and welcome to Dishing with Stephanie's Dish, the podcast where we talk to people in the food space typically, but also in the wellness spaces and all the beautiful spaces. I'm here today with Kate Kalan and she is with Etoile du Nord, which is a new spa that is located in Ely, Minnesota. And many of you know Ely is my second home. it is the home of the True North Cabin Cookbook where I wrote the books. And also I have a cabin here.And it's been kind of a summer. So I typically go back and forth between the twin cities and here. And Kate, you and I have never met, but I'm really excited about your new spa. You guys opened, was it last summer?Kate (00:00:43)Last spring, yeah, Earth Day we opened. So we're on summer number two now. ⁓Stephanie Hansen (00:00:46)So so Kate, tell me about how you found yourself in Ely.Kate (00:01:40)So I was born and raised here. ⁓ I left to go to school, work in the cities for many, many years. ⁓ and then COVID happened ⁓ and I decided to come home. ⁓ So ⁓ I work remotely ⁓ up here ⁓ and I don't know, I think it was about a year ⁓ working remotely that I ⁓Don't know Stephanie decided to do something different. ⁓ And ⁓ it was yeah, it was one summer my mom and I were were I was trying to get us a pedicure appointment and it was impossible. So ⁓ I was like, I I don't know, let's do this. I don't know what sparked it. I think you know, my parents ran small businesses here when I grew up andStephanie Hansen (00:02:10)Ha ha ha ⁓Stephanie Hansen (00:02:32)Yeah.Kate (00:02:35)I think I had just been talking to like a lot of entrepreneurs at the time. I don't I don't even know, but ⁓Stephanie Hansen (00:02:40)It it it makes sense though, because ⁓ what I noticed during COVID, we would come up in the winter and stay ⁓ we actually spent kind of a lot of time up here that winter ⁓ of the first year of COVID, just probably out of boredom more than anything else. ⁓ And we had free time. So, you know, the Northwoods was so gorgeous and so beautiful. I think that a lot of people came to this area.Kate (00:02:48)Yeah.Stephanie Hansen (00:03:08)In the COVID times, people came from other parts of the country. There were a lot of houses that were purchased. A lot of entrepreneurs came in. And for a town like Ely that has so much of its historical roots in mining, it was pretty neat to see all these entrepreneurs coming to town. So I when you opened your spa, I was like, hooray. And at that time too, another spa, the pebble spa, that was here closed. So people really, I think, appreciated that. opportunity to ⁓ welcome you in. And it started just primarily as nails, but I've noticed you're doing more things now.Kate (00:03:45)Yeah. ⁓ we do manicures, pedicures. ⁓ this summer we brought on an esthetician. So she's doing facials and like light chemical peels. ⁓ and then just recently this month we welcomed ⁓ massage therapists. So Jessie Brooks massage is working out of our our cozy little space. ⁓ so yeah, people are people are excited and so that makes me excited.Stephanie Hansen (00:04:12)So in the summer the population here swells, ⁓ up to like six thousand people. So it grows by like six to sevenfold really. ⁓ is ⁓ like if you and you've only been doing this this is your second year, I would imagine summer is a big part of the business or not.Kate (00:04:25)yeah. ⁓ we made it through ⁓ the winter, ⁓ but summer's a completely different animal. I mean, the girls are are pretty booked and it's wonderful. You know, we have so many seasonal people, just even from last summer who are excited to come back, which is ⁓ awesome to see. ⁓ you know, and then just the regular tourists and visitors, obviously this summer's a little bit different. ⁓ but happy to say we're we're pretty steady, which has been awesome.Stephanie Hansen (00:04:59)It's pretty interesting. I mean, I feel like the city of Ely and the folks in Ely have done a lot to spur winter tourism. I mean, snowmobiling is a big thing. We've got great cross-country ski trails. I mean, there's things like Beard Fest ⁓ and they have the movie festival now. There's also a winter festival, ⁓ ice sculptures, snow sculptures. ⁓ What do you think it would take in your opinion to get more people interested in Ely in the winter?Kate (00:05:31)I mean, I keep saying they should film a Hallmark movie up here. Like ⁓ it's so, you know, it's so cozy in the winter and it's such ⁓ a special place to spend Christmas. ⁓ I just I always say this town has Hallmark vibes and so I really think they should come up here. But ⁓ you know, like you said, there's stuff going on throughout the year. Fall is a beautiful time to visit. We'll have the harvest moon hopefully this year, which will hopefully be bigger than ever. ⁓ they'll have the art walk during that time. Like you said, we have the winter festival, the film festival. We have a new dark sky festival. I mean, they're, you know, we're really trying to get people up here year round. ⁓ obviously it's beautiful right now and and wonderful. So I hope people still ⁓ you know, with respect to the firefighters and everything. ⁓ Yeah.Stephanie Hansen (00:06:20)Yeah, let's talk about that for a second because this will air in the next couple of weeks. And ⁓ on July, what was it, 7th, I believe, ⁓ there was a reignition of an older fire that had started through lightning called the campfire. But also concurrently, there were 14 other fires that were going in the Boundary Waters Canoe area has been really impacted. The small business in particular, they closed the boundary waters for it looks like it'll be a minimum of two weeks and probably a little bit longer. They are starting to open for single day permits near kind of the Tofty Lutzen area, which is ⁓ pretty far from us, about 90 minutes. ⁓ when it it's so hard to balance because I know you live here. I have a home here we have people that are friends we have that are evacuated and then are waiting to get back to their cabin spaces. And yet it's like you're living in this weird universe because I look outside. It's a gorgeous, beautiful day. It feels fine. This is supposed to be the start of the blueberry festival. But I also as I promoted art festivals myself for 25 years. And I know, you know, to bring 40,000 people to town during this whole crisis when you've got 850 fire people on the line trying to protect the town could be seen as irresponsible. It's a very mixed soup of feelings. What are your feelings as we're going into week two of this? ⁓ basically evacuation all around the town of Ely.Kate (00:07:58)Yeah, it's hard. Like you said, I mean, there were a few days where it has never felt like that here with the smoke and ⁓ it it was eerie. ⁓ but it it's beautiful now. The sky is clear. That's not to say we don't still have wildfires happening up there. Like you said, there's like 800 firefighters in town. We have to respect their space, ⁓ we have to respect, you know, the officials' orders.⁓ we have to make sure they have lodging and all of that. And it's it's a shame that Blueberry had to be canceled. But, you know, like you said, bringing thirty, forty thousand people into town on top of that. ⁓ just I understand why that decision was made. ⁓ I just hope we can make up for it, you know, like like you can visit Ely now. ⁓ I mean, the town the town is welcoming you very much so. ⁓And and I hope like I said in the fall and just when things calm down a little bit, ⁓ people will kind of make more of an effort and and think to to come up here and enjoy the leaves and ⁓ and plan some fall activities up here.Stephanie Hansen (00:09:13)We're getting good vibes, I think, from the city folks and the people in the surrounding areas. A lot of people wanna know what they can do to help. Is there something specific to you and your business that people could do to help?Kate (00:09:26)Come visit us, come make appointments. ⁓ yeah, our nail girls are are booking out and we're trying to fill up our esthetician schedule. ⁓ but yeah, we're lucky to have a lot of local clients ⁓ who are very loyal and and just summer visitors who haven't had to evacuate, thankfully. ⁓ but there's a lot of stuff going on in town. The Ely Community Response has a growing list of ways to help. I just saw right before we hopped on actually, ⁓ there's like a fund that that people are working on United Way, I think. ⁓ Yeah.Stephanie Hansen (00:10:03)Yeah, the United Way of the Northeast has established a fund that is accepting donations. I'll put a link to it in the show notes. There's three kind of pillars, and you can ⁓ sp specify your donation to go to one of the pillars, one being the small businesses in Ely, one being ⁓ nonprofits, and then the other one to wildfire fighting in the area. So that's pretty cool that they've established a line directly to small businesses.I know a lot of people are ⁓ encouraging gift cards. Do you have gift cards that people can purchase too?Kate (00:10:34)Yep. Yep. Yep. Online a lot of businesses do.Stephanie Hansen (00:10:38)Can you tell me three businesses ⁓ in Ely that you feel like you'd like people to know about?Kate (00:10:47)man, Stephanie, that's hard. ⁓ shoot. ⁓ let's see.

Hell or High Water, Wind River, Sicario.......Sicario 2.......Those Who Wish Me Dead......Without Remorse.......are just some of the works from auteur and totally not Hollywood weirdo Taylor Sheridan! Join us, fellow Republicans (just kidding; we are good people), as we discuss another movie from one of the most important people in Hollywood and his movie Hell or High Water! This also wasn't directed by Taylor Sheridan but rather David McKenzie (you should watch Starred Up), but the Sheridan ecosystem consumes all of his movies. If you can, leave us a review and some feedback! Thank you!

(Wyoming) – Stephen Tucker loves telling stories about Wyoming’s rich history. The Sheridan-based filmmaker has done everything from full blown documentaries, to capturing local weddings and shooting promotional videos for companies that hire his expertise. One of those promotional shoots was for the Johnson County Tourism Association. Tucker’s Big Horn Films was tasked with short videos highlighting the wild west history of the Kaycee, Wyoming area. After going on a tour of the historic “Hole in the Wall” with historian Clay Gibbons of Worland, Tucker said he knew this project was going to turn into more. “We started down this road, the more we learned, the more we were like this is just incredible history,” Tucker told us. “We interviewed many different people who have incredible history connected to these outlaws. Hearing some of theses stories, it was like, I want to learn more.” Stephen said with all of the content they gathered, there was no possible way to boil it down to just a five minute highlight piece and respectfully tell the full story. He told the tourism group he’d still put those short videos together, but also wanted to devote his own personal time into producing a full feature film. Today the Hole In The Wall area, southwest of Kaycee, is best known for its outlaw lore. Where notorious criminals like Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch would disappear into a red rock natural fortress. The remote area of red sandstone cliffs is both naturally beautiful and steeped in 1800’s history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsgh65Qn3dc ‘Hole in the Wall’ is screening at several film events in the western United States this year. Tucker recently joined County 10 to tell us more about the project, fun history he learned along the way and an opportunity to see the film this fall in Lander. All of the information about the film can be seen here. You can find the full podcast simply by clicking the player down below.

Robert Cwiklik, guest author, recounts how, in the wake of the 1874 White League coup, President Grant felt compelled to take decisive action, despite the 1874 midterm elections flipping the House of Representatives to Democratic control. Grant initially used massive military force—including warships and infantry—to restore Governor Kellogg, but he realized a permanent solution was needed as white vigilantes continued to overthrow local officials across the South. Fearing that the gains of the Civil War were being erased, Grant turned to his most trusted and aggressive general, Phil Sheridan. He dispatched Sheridan on a secret mission to New Orleans, instructing him to go "on vacation" and assess how to "put a lid on the situation." This mission was so sensitive that Grant bypassed his cabinet, including Secretary of State Hamilton Fish, to keep it confidential. Grant relied on Sheridan's reputation for "total war" tactics to combat the growing insurgent threat from the White League and other militias. Sheridan's Secret Mission: How the South Won the War After the Civil War (5)
Robert Cwiklik, guest author, recounts how, in July 1866, New Orleans became the site of a brutal police-led riot against a constitutional convention aimed at securing Black voting rights. Following Lincoln's death, President Andrew Johnson's lenient Reconstruction policy empowered former Confederates, who enacted "Black Codes" to essentially re-enslave African-Americans through vagrancy laws and labor restrictions. When unionists attempted to rewrite Louisiana's constitution to include Black suffrage, local police and white citizens opened fire on the convention-goers. The massacre resulted in at least 44 deaths, mostly Black veterans and delegates, while white casualties were largely attributed to friendly fire. This violence horrified the North, leading to a massive Republican victory in the 1866 midterm elections and providing a mandate for Radical Reconstruction. The incident highlighted the deep-seated resistance of white Southerners to the concept of racial equality and the failure of Johnson's initial approach to national healing. Sheridan's Secret Mission: How the South Won the War After the Civil War (2)
Robert Cwiklik, guest author, explains that following the 1866 massacres, Congress passed the Reconstruction Act of 1867, imposing military rule and requiring new state constitutions that enfranchised Black men. This era saw the rise of "carpetbaggers"—Northern Republicans who moved south and were elected by newly empowered Black voters—and the implementation of progressive policies like public education. Despite these gains, tensions escalated as white Southerners resented the resulting higher land taxes and political displacement. Ulysses S. Grant emerged as a unifying Republicanfigure, but the 1872 Louisiana election triggered a catastrophic dispute over the legitimacy of the vote. This culminated in the 1873 Colfax Massacre, where white vigilantes slaughtered at least 70 Black people on the Red River. This event remains one of the bloodiest racial massacres in U.S. history, demonstrating that even with federal intervention, the struggle for control over Southern governance remained lethal and unresolved. Sheridan's Secret Mission: How the South Won the War After the Civil War (3)
Robert Cwiklik, guest author, describes how, by 1874, the Crescent City White League, an armed vigilante group, emerged to violently intimidate Republican officials and Black voters in Louisiana. Their aggression was fueled by a circuit judge's opinion suggesting that federal Enforcement Acts might be unconstitutional, which white Southerners interpreted as a "green light" for resistance. In September 1874, the White League engaged in the Battle of Liberty Place, a full-scale rebellion involving over 8,000 armed men. They confronted the state militia and Metropolitan Policeled by former Confederate General James Longstreet, who was wounded in the fray. The White League successfully drove Republican Governor William Pitt Kellogg out of New Orleans and briefly seized control of the government. Although Grant eventually sent federal troops to restore Kellogg, the event signaled a reassertion of Confederate-style rebellion that the thin federal military presence in the South struggled to permanently suppress. Sheridan's Secret Mission: How the South Won the War After the Civil War (4)
Robert Cwiklik, guest author, discusses the pivotal moments following Lee's surrender on April 9, 1865. President Lincoln, addressing a jubilant crowd, tentatively endorsed voting rights for African-Americans, specifically those who served in the Union Army or demonstrated "intelligence." This stance was influenced by his 1864 meeting with New Orleans intellectuals John Baptist Roudanez and Arnold Bertonneau, who advocated for Black suffrage in occupied Louisiana. Lincoln viewed a loyal Black electorate as essential for reknitting the Union, especially in states like Louisiana where the Black population exceeded 50%. However, this suggestion of citizenship and franchise was so inflammatory that it served as the primary motivator for John Wilkes Booth to proceed with assassination just days later. The New Orleans Tribune, founded by Roudanez and Bertonneau, became a central voice for these radical changes, setting the stage for the violent resistance that would characterize the post-war South. Sheridan's Secret Mission: How the South Won the War After the Civil War (1)
Robert Cwiklik, guest author, explains that Sheridan arrived in New Orleans in late 1874, but his presence immediately sparked suspicion and sarcasm from the local white press. On January 4, 1875, the situation reached a breaking point during the organization of the Louisiana legislature at the St. Louis Hotel. Democrats staged a violent takeover of the House floor, installing their own speaker and seating five contested members illegally. Acting on Sheridan's advice, Colonel Philippe de Trobriand led Union troops into the legislative hall to forcibly remove the five Democraticclaimants at bayonet point. While Republicans saw this as restoring order, the White League and Democrats utilized the scene to frame themselves as victims of federal tyranny. They successfully manipulated the optics of the event to suggest that the Union Army was illegally interfering with a sovereign state's governance, a narrative that quickly resonated with a Northern public increasingly weary of prolonged military occupation in the South. Sheridan's Secret Mission: How the South Won the War After the Civil War (6)
Robert Cwiklik, guest author, explains that the ultimate turning point came when Grant decided to back down from Sheridan's aggressive mission. As the news reached New Orleans, telegraph operators shouted, "Grant backs down," a moment celebrated by the White League as a definitive victory. Although Republicans attempted to pass new enforcement legislation, the effort was stalled by Democrats who took control of the House in March 1875. Grant later confessed to Black official John R. Lynch that his decision to refrain from sending more troops—particularly to help Mississippi Republicans—was motivated by political survival in the North. Specifically, he feared that aggressive military action in the South would alienate voters in Ohio's state elections, potentially ruining the political future of Rutherford B. Hayes. By prioritizing Northern electoral success over the protection of Southern Black citizens, Granteffectively signaled the end of the Civil War's "fruits of victory," allowing the South to re-establish white supremacy through segregation and terror for the next century. Sheridan's Secret Mission: How the South Won the War After the Civil War (8)1873
Patrick K. O'Donnell, guest author, recounts how, by August 1864, General Ulysses S. Grant had grown enraged by the disruption caused by irregular partisans and ordered Phil Sheridan to initiate "total war" in the Shenandoah Valley. Grant's instructions were severe: hang captured Rangers without trial, destroy all crops and livestock, and take all men under 50 as prisoners. While Sheridan did not follow these orders entirely to avoid political backlash before the election, he did launch the "Burning Season," putting farms and mills to the torch. The trigger for this escalation was the Berryville Great Wagon Raid, where Mosby's men devastated a massive Union supply train. To counter Mosby, Sheridan deployed Richard Blazer and his scouts, arming them with the Spencer carbine—the "machine gun of the Civil War"—which allowed for rapid-fire lever action. Blazer used his signature detective work to track the Rangers, successfully capturing a portion of Mosby's command at Myer's Ford. This segment also addresses the presence of independent "bushwhackers" like Moberly, a ruthless figure who tortured prisoners. Although Mosby occasionally operated in the same vicinity as Moberly, he did not tolerate such lawlessness within his formal command. The conflict transformed into a personal and lethal game of cat-and-mouse between Blazer's "Legion of Honor" and Mosby's Rangers, characterizing the brutal "brother against brother" nature of the Civil War in the Valley. The Unvanquished (5)
Patrick K. O'Donnell, guest author, explains that following Blazer's capture, Harry Harrison Young took command of the Union's special forces assets under Phil Sheridan. Only 5'5" but "absolutely fearless," Young transformed the Jesse Scouts into a vital strategic asset. These scouts, often operating in Confederate uniforms, conducted suicide missions and used elaborate disguises—such as peddlers or Southern recruiting officers—to gather real-time intelligence. The hazards were so extreme that most Jesse Scouts did not survive the war, though the unit ultimately earned seven Medals of Honor. As Sheridan moved to join Grant at Petersburg, the scouts performed an epic mission: delivering messages to Grant by riding 100 miles through enemy territory with the orders wrapped in tin foil in their mouths. During the final campaign, the Jesse Scouts acted as Sheridan's "eyes," seizing critical bridges and providing the intelligence needed to find weak points in Lee's lines. They played a pivotal role at the Battle of Five Forks, where they discovered that Confederate leaders were distracted by a "shad bake" (fish luncheon) and failed to hear the opening of the battle due to an atmospheric anomaly. The scouts even used misinformation to direct retreating Confederates to the wrong locations and intercepted orders meant to supply Lee's starving army at Amelia Courthouse. By disrupting Lee's logistics and securing vital supply trains, the Jesse Scouts and Sheridan's cavalry effectively "sealed the coffin" for the Army of Northern Virginia. The Unvanquished (7)
Robert Cwiklik, guest author, describes how, following the legislative intervention, Sheridan sent his infamous "Banditti" telegrams to Secretary of War William Belknap. He proposed that Congress declare the White Leagueringleaders "Banditti" so they could be tried by military commissions and executed. Sheridan's blunt call for military justice against "respectable" white citizens sparked national outrage, leading to "indignation meetings" across Northern cities. Even prominent Republicans like Senator Carl Schurz denounced the move as unconstitutional and lawless, reflecting a growing Northern desire to end Reconstruction. Grant was forced to defend his administration to the Senate; while he refused to apologize for restoring order, he stopped short of endorsing Sheridan's proposal. Grant noted that while military tribunals might be effective, they were no longer strictly legal because his habeas corpus suspension powers had expired in 1871. This episode became a massive self-inflicted wound for the Reconstruction effort, turning public opinion against further federal enforcement of Black rights.

SCHEDULE OF JBS 7-3-2026. 1913 WILSON OPENIG DAYColonel Jeff McCausland discusses John Buford's arrival at Gettysburg, identifying key terrain like Cemetery Hill. Buford sent urgent messages to John Reynolds, urging him to bring infantry forward quickly. Reynolds trusted Buford's assessment, leading Union forces to occupy positions just as the Confederate attack began. (1)Colonel Jeff McCausland recounts how General Reynolds was killed by a Confederate marksman while leading his men forward into the woods. Later that day, Robert E. Lee issued a famous discretionary order to Richard Ewell to take Cemetery Hill "if practicable." Ewell, newly promoted and lacking initiative, hesitated and ultimately declined to attack. (2)Colonel Jeff McCausland explains how rifled muskets increased accuracy while tactics remained outdated, causing high casualties. On the second day, Strong Vincent took the initiative to occupy Little Round Top without orders. Joshua Chamberlain's 20th Maine successfully held the Union's far left flank with a desperate bayonet charge. (3)Colonel Jeff McCausland describes how, on the third day, Lee ordered a frontal assault on the Union center despite Longstreet's protests. Pickett's Charge resulted in devastating casualties, with nearly 60-65% of the force lost to artillery and rifle fire. Longstreet was visibly overwhelmed by the certainty of the attack's failure. (4)Mary Kissel discusses a catastrophic earthquake in Venezuela, highlighting the human tragedy exacerbated by corrupt building practices. While US first responders are assisting, Kissel critiques the State Department for preventing opposition leader María Corina Machado from returning. She argues diplomacy should promote strategic interests and free societies. (5)Mary Kissel evaluates US policy toward China, noting Beijing's aggression toward Taiwan and the Philippines. She praises the Trump administration's support for Ukraine, particularly in surveillance and military assistance, which enabled deep strikes into Russian territory. She urges the White House to champion the moral high ground. (6)Anatol Lieven discusses Vladimir Putin's public admission that Ukrainian drone strikes are causing significant difficulties and a loss of refining capacity. While Putin remains in charge, he faces pressure from hawks and doves regarding escalation. Despite successful drone campaigns, the battlefield in the Donbass remains stagnant. (7)Lance Gatling reports that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi unveiled a $2.3 trillion investment roadmap focused on 17 key technologies, including AI and chip manufacturing. The plan aims for economic independence and supply line diversity. Takaichi enjoys high public support, particularly from conservatives and young people tired of Chineseintimidation. (8)Michael Vorenberg challenges the idea that the Civil War ended at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865. While Lee's surrender was a crucial step involving the stacking of arms, Lincoln did not publicly declare the war over. Lincolnremained focused on the ongoing process of reconstruction. (9)Michael Vorenberg recounts how, following Lincoln's assassination, William T. Sherman met Joseph Johnston at Bennett Place to negotiate a surrender. Sherman offered terms more generous than Grant's, including allowing Southerners to keep weapons in armories to prevent guerrilla warfare. However, the Washington cabinet rejected these terms as too lenient. (10)Michael Vorenberg explains that after official surrenders, Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith fled to Mexicorather than surrender his Trans-Mississippi forces. Small skirmishes continued at Palmetto Ranch, which is often cited as the last battle of the war. Meanwhile, Grant sent Sheridan to the Rio Grande to deter French intervention. (11)Michael Vorenberg discusses how the government used military tribunals to try Lincoln's conspirators and Andersonville commandant Henry Wirz, arguing a state of war still existed. Secretary of War Stanton hoped to implicate Jefferson Davis in these crimes to justify execution, but Wirz refused to provide such testimony before hanging. (12)Michael Vorenberg examines Richard Henry Dana's "grasp of war" philosophy, arguing the Union should hold the Confederacy until civil rights were secured. This contrasted with Lincoln's "let 'em up easy" approach. Congress used these war powers to extend the Freedman's Bureau and pass reconstruction legislation. (13)Michael Vorenberg traces how Andrew Johnson, initially seen as a radical ally, shifted toward a policy of white supremacy and hasty peace. He vetoed the Civil Rights Act of 1866, leading moderate Republicans to unite with radicals. This intense conflict centered on whether the war had legally ended. (14)Michael Vorenberg explains that on August 20, 1866, Johnson proclaimed the insurrection over to strip Congress of its war powers. Despite ongoing massacres in Memphis and New Orleans, Johnson tried to suppress reports of violence to maintain a "peace" narrative. The Supreme Court later affirmed this technical end date. (15)Michael Vorenberg describes how Ulysses S. Grant found himself caught between the warring factions of the Johnsonadministration. After witnessing Johnson's disastrous "swing around the circle" tour, Grant realized the President was unfit for loyalty. Grant eventually sided with Secretary of War Stanton, facilitating his 1868 presidential run. (16)All 16 folded into single paragraphs, John. One correction for the log: segment 5 had "Maria Karina Machado" — fixed to María Corina Machado, the Venezuelan opposition leader. Flag anything else.

A man bent on wiping out the church was on the road to arrest more Christians when a light knocked him to the ground and a voice asked why he was persecuting Jesus himself. Grace ambushed Saul and turned him inside out before he could say a word. Then the Lord asks a frightened disciple named Ananias to go welcome the very man he has every reason to fear, so that two miracles happen at once: the conversion of a persecutor and the obedience of the believer sent to embrace him. This chapter is hope for the people we have written off and a call for the rest of us to go where God sends us. The Rev. Paul Cain, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Sheridan, WY, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Acts 9:1-31. To learn more about Immanuel in Sheridan, visit immanuelsheridan.blogspot.com. The book of Acts picks up where the Gospels leave off. Jesus has risen. He has ascended. And now what? Acts answers that question. Luke tells the story of how the Holy Spirit built the Church from a handful of frightened disciples in Jerusalem into a movement that reached Rome itself. Along the way, you get Pentecost, the first sermons, the first martyrs, the conversion of Paul, the first church councils, shipwrecks, riots, and the persistent, stubborn work of God through Word and Sacrament even when His people didn't have a plan. If you've ever wondered how we got from Easter morning to the Church you sit in today, this is the book. Tune in for this new series on Thy Strong Word with Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors as we open up the Book of Acts. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Some guys learn to hunt. Sam Davis was born into it. In this episode of the Eastmans' Journal Podcast, Ike sits down with Sheridan, Wyoming native and newly minted Eastmans' staff writer Sam Davis — a lifelong guide, ranch hand, and western big game obsessive who's spent 100+ days a year in the field for the better part of two decades. From packing kids on horseback at age five and sneaking up on mule deer with a 35mm film camera as a kid, to a wild mountain lion encounter in eighth grade on the edge of town, Sam's hunting roots run deep. The conversation covers what 20 years of living on a working ranch does for your understanding of animal behavior, how he built a loyal social media following by just being himself, his relationship with Stone Glacier and the product development world, and what it means to finally be writing for the magazine he's been reading since childhood. Sam also talks about the balance of guiding life versus fatherhood, raising a daughter who's a serious athlete, and what it looks like to chase elk and mule deer in Wyoming's best general country year after year without having to go anywhere else.

It's recruiting time with the Maricopa County Sheriff's office and we had the pleasure of having the Sheriff and a sergeant in studio to talk about it.
Patrick K. O'Donnell highlights Harry Harrison Young, a fearless commander who led the Jesse Scouts as a strategic asset for Phil Sheridan in 1865. Disguised in Confederate uniforms, these scouts provided real-time intelligence and delivered critical messages to Grant while evading enemy patrols. They played a pivotal role in the Battle of Five Forks, finding weak points that allowed Sheridan to break Lee's lines. By intercepting orders and capturing supply trains, the scouts crippled Lee's logistics, forcing a premature evacuation of Richmond and setting the stage for the final retreat to Appomattox. (7)1865
Patrick K. O'Donnell describes how Ulysses S. Grant ordered Phil Sheridan to wage total war in the Shenandoah Valley, commanding the execution of Mosby's men and the destruction of crops. Although Sheridan moderated these orders due to political optics, he deployed Richard Blazer and his Scouts—armed with rapid-fire Spencer carbines—to hunt Mosby. The conflict turned brutal, involving ruthless figures like the bushwhacker Mobberly. At Kabletown, Mosby finally eliminated the threat by ambushing and capturing Blazer. One of Mosby's rangers, the lethal Lewis Powell, was tasked with escorting the captured Blazer to Richmond. (5)1865
