Central Oregon poet, teacher and author Ellen Waterston began her role this month as the state’s official Poet Laureate. Waterston has won many literary awards, including two WILLA awards and the Obsidian prize for poetry. This year she received both the Holbrook and Soapstone award in recognition of her contributions to Oregon’s literary landscape. She began her own Writing Ranch in 2000 in Central Oregon to support and nurture writers, and she was instrumental in the genesis of the low residency MFA program at Oregon State University, Cascades, where she now also teaches. She often writes about the landscape where she makes her home and is currently working on a new collection of poetry that will feature a series of commissioned pieces that celebrate remote locations all over the West. We last talked with Waterston in 2020 when her nonfiction book “Walking in the High Desert” was published. She joins us to discuss her poetry, her teaching and how she plans to meet her self-appointed goal of “kindling creativity and community” around poetry throughout Oregon over the next two years.

I've never used this kind of program before, quiet frankly all I know about ChatGPT is the fear mongering that I see all over different media. So I have invited JT over, with his own laptop, to login to his account with ChatGTP and have a little chat with his new best friend. My first thought was this was going to be a trainwreck of an episode... and I was right.

It's time to give the co-host control of the microphone! Also, I wanted a chance to spin the wheel. Today we will go over stories that we skipped--based on the episode title I'm starting to think we did so for good reason. However, we have to clear out the paperwork before our big AI episode next week. So release the hounds (golden doodles) and let's get started (or try to anyway). --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tradepaperbacks/message --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rangerryan/message

We added Music News as a category on the wheel! We also go through some other pop culture related news including the future of Bugs Bunny, dogs who have rose from the dead, and the I share a personal story of my experience at Ruth Chris Steakhouse.

Alright we have some stories that have been sitting at the bottom of the pile for awhile now. So it's time to clean house and talk about some older stories. I do understand that puts us behind another week, so I am not completely sure this makes sense but we are doing it anyway. So last week we focused on trending topics, now let's do the opposite.

Krispy Kreme has partnered with Chips Ahoy once again to give everyone a reason to combine things that should never be combined. Also, on a more serious note--we are currently recruiting all listeners named Kyle, so if that's your name please listen to this episode as soon as humanly possible.

Aliens in Bolivia, bears in vending machines, and dolphins being driven into fresh water from bullies. Yes those things really happened, but these stories do not compare to the utter devastation The Super Mario Bros Movie did at the box office when it comes to breaking record after record after record. In the most dramatic fashion we debut our new theme song, because we are... uncancelled. Is that a word? I'm not sure, but it is what happened.

An Easter basket, also known as a Paschal basket, is traditionally, a basket containing the foods traditionally forbidden to consume during Lent (meat, eggs, and dairy products), that is blessed by a priest for breaking the Lenten fast. This continues to be normative in Eastern Christianity and Easter baskets are typically blessed before the midnight service on Holy Saturday, with their contents being consumed at the feast after the service. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tradepaperbacks/message --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rangerryan/message

We're heading into spring home-buying season. You'll soon see the signs and balloons leading you to open houses.   Interest rates will put a damper on buying this year…. but there are people ready to buy at the right price.  And according to Zillow, this is what they're looking for. Mind you these are people who can pay cash… or afford a mortgage at 6 percent plus.  Let's start with what they don't want   Things that'll hurt your selling price.  First?  Tile Countertops will cut your home's value by 1 percent.  Same for laminate flooring.   And this blows my mind.  Walk-in closets can cut the average home's value by 25 grand. Seems in 2023 … Zillow says younger buyers think a giant closet turns you into a hoarder… and they'd rather use the space for something else. So what raises the value?  Terrazzo floors.  Homes with Soapstone countertops are selling four days faster.  Other things that create a wow factor are pizza ovens… an outdoor kitchen… and the biggest plus of them all… a free-standing she shed.  That'll add 2-and-a-half percent to your home's value.  This is according to Zillow… which will never tell you ,,the best deal might be to stay put… and just love where you live.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this 30 minute episode I make tap on and make lid sounds my soapstone dish without talking (beyond the intro).

Today we are going to give you a refresher on what we are loving for countertops right now and kind of break down all of the different types and price points for various usages. We discuss various different materials you can use for your countertops, including quartzite, which can go really well on bathroom surfaces, and then marble can look great, especially over time as it becomes more worn, as long as you take care of it, it will look great. Soapstone, wood, and concrete have their own looks that are useful depending on what your style is, and then we discuss going to the slab yard and how you can pick out your preferred features.

Just have an emotional reaction to whatever is speaking to you. Just understanding some of these, I think usability. I think it's important and hopefully whoever is selling these to you will also kind of lead you in the right direction as well.” 22:16https://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/https://alicelanehome.com/https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHomehttps://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecityNews Letter:https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5

Hey, Counties (that's our nickname for our fans)!How are you doing? How's that isolation going? We hope you're healthy and safe. Welcome to our official episode 1 of Counter Programming with Shira & Arielle. Last week, we released our intro episode. It was a chance to get to know us and why we're doing this Corona-inspired podcast. As always, each episode of Counter Programming will focus on a counter of some sort. In this episode, we're starting our series on counter*tops.* Today, we cover MARBLE.Find out how we *really* feel about marble countertops -- hint: it ain't lookin' good for marble.You can reach us by email to tell us how YOU feel about marble - counterprogrammingshiraarielle@gmail.com. You can also reach us on Instagram - @counterprogrammingpod.SEND US PICTURES OF YOUR COUNTERTOPS! WE'LL SHARE THEM ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIAS!In this episode, we share what we're up to during isolation. Arielle made avocado bread (which is apparently a thing). Shira and her roommate, Jenna, made steak tacos using a muffin tin(!) and finished off their tequila. Of course, Tiger King has been on our minds.Background facts on countertops:1. The first countertops were made of stone and wood2. Soapstone and slate were abundant in the Northeast so they were brought into the kitchen to be used for counters3. Marble was initially used because pastry chefs liked rolling their dough on it4. Metals such as stainless steel and nickel were used starting in the early 1900s and then became more popular5. Stainless steel and laminate became popular in the 1940sThank you oldhouseweb.com for these facts!Let's marble at marble:It's a metamorphic rock that's commonly used for sculpture and as a building material. Notable Landmarks Made with Marble:1. Taj Mahal2. The Pantheon3. The Washington Monument4. The Supreme Court Building5. The Parthenon (sort of - the foundation is limestone but the tiles are marble)Benefits of a marble countertop:- The look - it's beautiful, it's warm- Marble has a "nice character"- Each piece is unique- It has elegant veining and a sophisticated appearance Disadvantages of a marble countertop:- It's a porous material- It can stain- It's soft so it can chip and scratch- It's expensive (more expensive than wood, laminate, and tile)- Low resistance to heatWould Shira and Arielle get marble in their future kitchens? NO.Come back next week as we explore another countertop. Thanks for tuning in! Leave us a review on Apple or a comment on Castbox.Thank you to Daniel Tureck, our engineer.Thank you to Caio Slikta, our logo designer.Our music is called Tennessee Hayride and it's by Jason Shaw.

Explore Kisii County with us on this episode. This episode has been narrated by Mwihaki M.

This week's interview is jam packed with information and inspiration.  I'm talking with Steve Schrenk, a sculptor and media director for Polycor, the largest natural stone quarrier in North America.  We cover a lot of ground, starting with Steve's training as a sculptor and then he teaches us about the different kinds of stone you might want to consider using in your own home, how to use stone as a design element, where to find it, what kinds of quarries it comes from and the environmental impact of extraction.  I'm pretty sure that at least half of you are going to want to start a kitchen renovation after this.  We wrap up with two of his favorite sources of inspiration, one of whom is an interior designer and the other is an installation you can  visit when in you're in New York City.

Walter Goodridge was a pioneer in the 1970’s resurgence of wood burning. Living in the Pioneer Valley of Western Ma., Walter started burning wood stoves and decided to look into manufacturing one. His travels took him to Denmark where he discovered Lange Stoves, a 100+ year old brand which was still being made by hand. Walter decided to import these stoves, and brought over 10,000 units into the USA during the 1976 to 1980 time period, at which time he stopped importing them. On one of his trips to Denmark, he was introduced to the people at HS Tarm boilers. As a result, he started importing Tarm boilers into the USA via a new corporation, Tekton, which was located in Conway, Ma. Walter sold the HS Tarm business to Alan Koenig in 1981 and did not re-enter the stove or boiler biz. To this day (2008), he still burns the first Lange stove he imported to heat his house – AND, he also uses a Tarm high efficiency wood boiler to heat.

A conversation with Stephen Morris, former marketing director at Vermont Castings, about the purchase of the rival stove company, Consolidated Dutchwest. This purchase was made in haste by Vermont Castings and proved to be the downfall of the original privately owned firm.

John Gulland is an independent consultant in the wood stove and fireplace industry. In this episode, we discuss pellet and corn stoves, as well as the chimney problems with newer non-cat woodstoves.

This describes the development process for the 1/2 Kettle Steamer, a product (and US Patent) obtained by Craig Issod and from industry friends. The kettle is still available through Condar Company.

John Gulland has been involved with wood stoves and other renewable energy since 1974. He is a writer, consultant, lecturer and more! In this interview you will hear about Johns many experiences and projects.

An extensive interview with hearth industry veteran Stephen Morris lays out his history as a writer, editor and publisher of many Green Living and Sustainable living publications. We also learn about beer, stripped bass and california marijuana farmers.

A story about a city official in Baltimore who was using city purchase orders to outfit his new house - and how Craig Issod almost got stung by the FBI and Police because of it!

Craig Issod purchased and operated Upland Wood Stoves in 1985 - here is the story of that purchase as well as some experiences during my ownership.
