Fiscal Responsibility: Building a Sustainable Future Key Takeaway:   Grayslake's commitment to fiscal responsibility is a cornerstone of its success. Mayor Davies' first budget as mayor maintained a balanced budget and zero debt status, with only a modest 1.5% increase in spending despite inflationary pressures. In-Depth Insights: Prudent Budgeting:**     Every dollar spent is carefully evaluated to ensure it delivers value to residents.   The village prioritizes essential services while seeking efficiencies to keep costs down. Zero Debt Policy:**     Grayslake's zero debt status is rare among municipalities and provides flexibility for future investments.   Avoiding debt means more resources can be directed toward community projects and less toward interest payments. Strategic Investments:**     New funding was allocated for marketing and communications, recognizing the importance of keeping residents informed and engaged. Actionable Advice: For Local Leaders:**     Regularly review and justify all expenditures.   Communicate budget decisions transparently to build trust.   Invest in areas that strengthen community engagement and long-term sustainability. 2. Transparent and Positive Communication Key Takeaway:   Effective communication is essential for building trust and fostering community engagement. Mayor Davies has prioritized improving how the village connects with residents.

Episode 298 · Mini Miracles From Minor Moments Have you ever said the right words but still felt completely misunderstood? This week on Mini Miracles From Minor Moments, I'm exploring something that touches every single relationship in your life — the tone, pace, and pitch of your voice. The way we say something carries just as much meaning as the words themselves. This episode gathers several short reflections recorded over recent weeks, all pointing toward one central truth: how we communicate shapes how we connect. What This Episode Is About From a morning full of mini-miracles — emissions tests, quick errands, and a license plate sticker that finally got done — to a thoughtful look at guarding your mind against fear and self-doubt, this episode is a warm collection of everyday wisdom. I talk about building emotional and physical endurance, the discipline of small daily habits, and the art of focusing on joy even when life is heavy. Woven through all of it is a longer reflection on the voice — how our intonation, pitch, and pace tell people far more than we realize, and how a simple smile in your voice can change everything. I also share some personal moments from my week — a cornea injury that a chance conversation with an orthopedic doctor helped catch, a pair of sunglasses still missing since Mother's Day, and the exciting launch of my Art Therapy group, which is now meeting on Thursday afternoons. These are the minor moments that carry real meaning, if we stay awake to them.   Main Talking Points Mini-Miracles Happen When You Least Expect Them A morning that flowed — errands done, sticker on the plate, still on time for an appointment — is a reminder to stay positive and keep moving. When things pile up, a peaceful mindset makes all the difference. Guarding Your Mind Is a Daily Practice Negative thoughts, comparison, fear, and the need to control things can creep in quietly. Training your thoughts during peaceful moments is what pushes destructive thinking out. Emotional endurance grows from patience, self-awareness, and reflection. Small Physical Habits Move You Forward Whether it's making the bed, taking a walk, or drinking more water, the small things we repeat build momentum. Even a half-mile walk counts. Honoring the commitments you make to yourself strengthens your identity and keeps joy within reach. Focus on the Good, Especially When Life Is Hard Life always brings sadness, illness, and loss. Choosing to call up joyful memories — a kind person at the bank, a warm summer day, a photo wall of good times — is not denial. It is a discipline that keeps us open to the miracles right in front of us. Your Voice Is an Emotional Soundtrack The tone, pace, and pitch of your voice communicate emotions that words alone cannot carry. Speaking with urgency raises the other person's anxiety; slowing down anchors them. Whether you want to inspire, comfort, or simply be understood, a calm and intentional voice makes all the difference. The Same Words Land Differently for Everyone A boss can address the same group and leave one person motivated, another insulted. We have to ask ourselves: how do I want the person on the other side to receive what I'm saying? Tone in texts and emails carries meaning too — short and direct can feel cold even when we don't intend it. Put a Smile in Your Voice People can tell if you are truly smiling when you speak — over the phone, in a counseling session, even in a voicemail. When we are preoccupied or distracted, our voice gives us away. Being present in our tone is one of the most generous things we can offer the people we care about.   Resources & Links Podcast Archive: lindagullo.com/minimiraclespodcast Art Therapy Group: Thursdays at 1 PM in June — register at lindagullo.com Coaching & Counseling: lindagullo.com Support the Podcast: buymeacoffee.com/delightinliving Contact Linda: Linda@delightinliving.com

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with bassist Tim Lefebvre for a conversation about groove, adaptability, tone, and what it really means to serve the music. Tim has built one of the most distinctive and wide-ranging careers in modern bass playing, with credits spanning jazz, rock, pop, experimental music, and singer-songwriter projects. From David Bowie's Blackstar to Tedeschi Trucks Band, Wayne Krantz, and countless sessions in between, Tim has become one of those rare players whose sound is unmistakable yet fits almost anywhere.We begin by talking about his 2026 so far, which includes recording work, short touring runs, a date with Nate Smith and Jason Lindner, upcoming shows in Italy with Tiziano Ferro, and a tour with Melissa Etheridge. From there, we get into one of the central tensions of a working musician's life: how to bring your own identity to a project while still honoring the artist, the songs, and the original recordings. Tim has strong instincts here, and he speaks with great clarity about choosing simplicity, resisting overplaying, and understanding what the music actually needs.One of my favorite parts of this conversation is hearing Tim talk about some of the landmark experiences in his career. We discuss the Bryan Adams tour, the joy of playing huge songs in front of large crowds, and then spend time on David Bowie's Blackstar, including how Tim approached the sessions, how much of the rhythmic language was already implied in Bowie's demos, and how some of the bass textures on songs like “Lazarus” emerged naturally in the room. Tim also reflects on the creative freedom and trust inside Tedeschi Trucks Band, and what it felt like to be part of a band that could take real improvisational chances in front of thousands of people.Along the way, we talk gear, compression, pedals, picks, strings, remote recording, favorite drummers, the differences between New York and Los Angeles, sobriety, and some of the bass players who shaped his ear early on, including James Jamerson, Paul McCartney, Darryl Jones, Marcus Miller, Victor Bailey, Jaco Pastorius, and Tony Levin. This is a conversation about craft, but also about judgment, restraint, and learning to make the right choice in the moment.Key TakeawaysTim Lefebvre talks about balancing personal identity with the responsibility of serving the artist, the arrangement, and the song.He shares stories from the making of David Bowie's Blackstar, including how parts of “Lazarus” developed in the studio.Tim reflects on the musical and emotional intensity of playing with Tedeschi Trucks Band and the freedom that the group allowed onstage.He discusses his early path from saxophone to bass, his father's influence, and learning on real gigs at a young age.The conversation explores how bass playing varies with the drummer and what Tim listens for when locking in with someone new.Tim also gets into gear, including pick playing, flats versus rounds, bass compression, distortion, reverb, and how pedals can shape creative ideas.We talk openly about sobriety, professional growth, and how life experience changes the way a musician shows up on and off the bandstand.Music from the EpisodeAnyhow - Tedeschi Trucks BandShake Loose - Donny McCaslinIt's No Fun Not to Like Pop - Krantz/Carlock/LefebvreHanging On - KnowerBlackstar - David BowieAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast where I sit down with musicians, songwriters, producers, and creative people for thoughtful conversations about craft, collaboration, career, and the experiences that shape a life in music.

"Words, Tongues, and Tone, Oh My!" (Some audience participation has been edited out)Adult Sunday School Class Description:The Bible never treats speech as morally neutral. Words reveal the heart, expose our idols, and demonstrate who or what we truly serve. We will seek to examine the theology of speech through Scripture and the practical framework of Paul David Tripp's War of Words. We will consider how sinful desires corrupt our communication, how self righteousness fuels conflict, and how the Gospel alone brings redemption to our words. This class aims to cultivate repentance, humility, and Christ like speech within the Church.

One year after Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her own home, Vance Boelter has pleaded guilty — and the motive that MAGA spent a year denying is now a matter of federal record. Boelter, a self-described preacher and Christ for the Nations graduate, hunted lawmakers by name with a police disguise and a 70-person target list. This is the story of how spiritual-warfare theology stopped being a metaphor.

 A Chairde,As June heads towards July the distant beat of your drums is pounding out their rhythm. The marching season for all of the Loyal Orders is well underway and the 12 July is fast approaching. One July, sitting during yet another negotiation, into the early hours with Tony Blair the ratatat of Lambegs sundered the quiet. We paused as he asked if I knew what that was. Yes ,I replied that's the Orangemen.“Jungle drums?” he said.I am minded to remind you that the Battle of the Boyne was fought on the 1st July not the 12th. The date changed in 1752 when the English adopted the Gregorian calendar introduced by Pope Gregory. The war was part of a much wider European conflagration – the Nine Years War. James was backed by the English Aristocracy, by France and by the Irish Catholic aristocracy. William who was James's son-in-law and King of Holland, was backed by the English merchant class, by Pope Innocent X1, by Spain and Germany and by Protestant settlers in Ireland. At its core it was William leading a ‘Grand Alliance' of Europeans to curb the power and expansion plans of the French King.The Pope contributed to Williams expenses and when news reached Rome of the victory there was a Te Deum hymn sang in a “joyous proclamation of praise, thanksgiving and faith.” The Pope was front and centre of it all. So much for No Pope Here!  Bodenstown“To say all in one word, Ireland shall be independent. We shall be a nation, not a province, citizens not slaves.” Wolfe Tone On 28 June Republicans from across the island of Ireland will travel to Bodenstown, County Kildare, to stand in homage at the graveside of Theobald Wolfe Tone, the founder of Irish Republicanism.For those who know of Tone and for those who don't I want to recommend a new publication – Bodenstown: Honouring Wolfe Tone – A Pictorial History – which tells his remarkable and inspirational story and recounts the generations who have travelled to Bodenstown each June to remember and celebrate his life.This new publication profiles Tone and publishes photographs of many of the commemorations that have been held there. The first image of Bodenstown is of Padraig Pearse delivering the oration in June 1913. The Irish Republican Brotherhood had asked Pearse to speak and the event was chaired by veteran Fenian Tom Clarke. Both were executed by the British less than three years later following the 1916 Easter Rising.  Cupla Focal Eile.Another few words í nGaeilge as part of this column's contribution to the effort to use whatever Irish we have even if it is only a wee bit.  Here are a few more bits and pieces to replace their English equivalents.Lá breithe shona duit means Happy birthday to you.  It also sounds really good when sung by a crowd at a birthday gathering. Or even on a one to one basis. Try it. Use the same air as the English version. Tiomaint go curamac means drive carefully. Sliothar is a hurling ball. Tóg go bóg é means take it easy. Slán abhaile means Safe home.

Bad habits. Bad night. Bad optics. The Dallas Wings have been making steady improvements since their tight 4-point loss to the Minnesota Lynx back in May. Fans expected a hard-fought rematch—instead, they got a 24-point demolition.Minnesota didn't just beat Dallas; they dictated the exact terms of engagement. Using an aggressive, physical "Bully Ball" defense, the Lynx manipulated the intensity dial, broke the Wings' on-court communication, and forced a white-flag "Surrender Lineup" with over six minutes left in the fourth quarter.Even with Paige Bueckers calling for discipline and accountability postgame, other press conference events elevate this game from a bad night to a bad look. Luckily, the Wings have opportunities to respond coming up very soon.00:00 - Wings - Lynx Postgame sound bites01:56 - The Dallas Cowboys Minute: DeMarvion Overshown Get the Green Dot, Marist Liufau Gets Public Praise15:37 - Rules of Engagement: Setting the Tone for the Wings Autopsy17:53 - The Ugly Stats: Getting Dominated in the Paint26:10 - Postgame Sound: Coach Fernandez on the Defensive Collapse29:36 - The Throttle: How Minnesota Manipulated the Pacing35:09 - The PR Pivot: Cancelled Practice & The "Tail Tucked" Optics47:07 - Pace vs. Physicality54:55 - The "Surrender Lineup"59:56 - WNBA Fan Culture: Toxic Narratives & Protecting the Locker Room01:20:35 - Lynx Appreciation & Outro

In this episode of the All Pro Dad podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about how often our kids use words without thinking about the consequences and what dads can do to shape kids' language. Why This MattersThe words we use shape relationships, build trust, and influence how kids see themselves and others.Key TakeawaysKids learn the power of language primarily by listening to the adults around them.Compliments and encouragement often have a longer-lasting impact than we realize.A child's language often reveals deeper heart issues, influences, or emotional struggles.Parents should pay attention to the influences shaping their kids' communication, including friends, music, movies, and online content.Practical Tips for Dads1.    Model the language you want your kids to use.Praise your spouse, encourage others openly, and speak respectfully even when frustrated.2.    Practice “reverse gossip.”Speak highly of people behind their backs and let your kids hear it regularly.3.    Build gratitude into family rhythms.Use moments like dinner conversations to encourage thankfulness and affirmation.4.    Address hurtful language quickly.Teach kids the difference between joking around and attacking someone's dignity.5.    Talk about the “why” behind words.Ask questions that uncover the heart posture behind the language your kids use.6.    Monitor influences carefully.Pay attention to the friends, media, music, and online content shaping your child's communication habits.7.    Teach honesty as a core family value.Help kids understand that trust is built through consistent truthfulness.Important Episode Timestamps[00:00] How Can We Teach Our Kids the Power of Language? Ted frames a conversation about how the words dads model at home shape the way their kids speak for years to come.[00:49] The Words We Wish We Could Take Back: Honest Stories From the Guys BJ, Ted, and Bobby share cringe-worthy moments when their words caused unintended harm.[04:12] The Surprising Power of the Right Word at the Right MomentThe dads reflect on times a well-timed compliment or word of affirmation made a lasting impact on someone.[06:01] Why Kids Already Know 42 Taboo Words by Age Five Ted shares unsettling research about how early children absorb harsh language.[07:23] How to Model the Power of Language at Home Every Day The dads discuss practical ways dads can demonstrate uplifting language in action.[10:17] Reverse Gossip, Doug Compliments, and Other Ways to Build People UpBobby introduces the concept of reverse gossip, Ted shares the Doug Compliment tradition, and BJ explains why passing along praise is one of the most powerful things a dad can do.[13:11] How Careless Words at Home Become Bullying Behavior Everywhere Else Ted and BJ connect the dots between the language kids use with siblings at home and the bullying behavior that shows up at school.[14:48] Cursing, Tone, and What Really Tears People Down BJ offers a nuanced take on cursing, arguing that tone, posture, and dehumanizing language do far more damage than any particular word.[19:01] Why Lying Is the Most Damaging Language of AllThe dads explain why dishonesty is the most common way to destroys trust, and why creating a home where kids feel safe to tell the truth is one of the most important things a dad can do.[21:30] This Week's Pro Move: Ask your kids why they think some kids use curse words. Talk about where language comes from, how words affect others, and what kind of people your family wants to be through the way you speak.Sponsor:The All Pro Dad Podcast is proudly brought to you by Family First, a nonprofit dedicated to equipping parents with resources to strengthen their families.

Windermere Ask a Coach | "How You Sound Is How You Sell"About the HostMichael Fanning is SVP and Co-Owner of Windermere Coaching with 29 years in the Windermere ecosystem and a background as a former Master Ninja Selling Instructor.Episode OverviewTwo agents. Same experience. Same presentation. Completely different results. The difference isn't what they said it's how they said it. Michael breaks down the five vocal habits quietly costing agents listings and delivers a practical five-step game plan for building real vocal confidence.FAQQ: Why does articulation matter more than my script?Your words are only 7% of how your message is received. Tone of voice accounts for 38%. The preparation most agents spend 90% of their time on drives only 7% of the impression they make. Articulation training closes the gap between what you intend to communicate and what your client actually receives.Q: What is upspeak and why does it hurt me?Upspeak is when your voice rises at the end of a statement, turning declarations into questions. It signals a request for approval rather than confidence. Leaders speak in periods, not question marks when your voice comes down, it registers as conviction.Q: How do I stop using filler words?When you feel an "um," "like," or "basically" coming, close your mouth, breathe, and let there be one second of silence. To the listener, that pause reads as thoughtfulness and confidence not hesitation.Q: What is hedging language?Stacking qualifiers like "maybe," "might," "potentially," and "I think" strips all authority from your recommendation. Compare: "I'm not sure, but the market might potentially suggest a more aggressive price" versus "Based on what the market is showing us, I'm recommending we come in at a price that positions you to move. Here's why." Same information. Completely different authority.Q: What's the fix for speaking too fast?Slow down at key moments. In drumming there's a concept called playing in the pocket not rushing, not dragging, sitting right in the groove. That's what your clients need from you. Find your pocket.Q: What does "trailing off" cost me?The end of your sentence is where your recommendation lands. When your energy drops on the last few words, the meaning disappears. Your last word should carry the same conviction as your first.Q: What's the five-step game plan?Record yourself doing a two-minute value proposition listen for confidence, not contentReplace every filler word with one second of silencePractice ending sentences with full energy all the way to the last wordVary your pace slow down on the most important words, speed up for enthusiasmMatch your tone to your message energy for good news, steady and grounded for difficult conversationsReach out at fanning@windermere.com. Share this episode if it resonated.Be awesome, help somebody, and make it a great day.

"Words, Tongues, and Tone, Oh My!" Adult Sunday School Class Description:The Bible never treats speech as morally neutral. Words reveal the heart, expose our idols, and demonstrate who or what we truly serve. We will seek to examine the theology of speech through Scripture and the practical framework of Paul David Tripp's War of Words. We will consider how sinful desires corrupt our communication, how self righteousness fuels conflict, and how the Gospel alone brings redemption to our words. This class aims to cultivate repentance, humility, and Christ like speech within the Church.

There is more to communication than words. In this episode, Chad and Nikki talk about how small changes in what we say and how we say it can make a big difference to our kids.

Whether you call it "daddy issues" or father wounds, the relationship you had or didn't have with your father is often the blueprint for your romantic future. In this episode, we explore why your partner is actually a mirror of your internal healing and how you can stop "tap dancing" for love to finally claim the devotion you deserve.✧ What's Inside:The Marriage Predictor: Discover why the fastest way to predict how a man will treat you in marriage is to look at your current dynamic with your father.The "Bar and Tone": Learn how accepting negativity or criticism from your dad sets a subconscious standard that your partner will eventually mirror.Chemistry vs. Familiarity: Understand why your nervous system might be "addicted" to inconsistent or distant men simply because they feel familiar.Breaking Behavioral Patterns: Identify common traps like "overfunctioning," people-pleasing, or wearing "masculine armor" as a protective shield.A Real-Life Transformation: Hear the story of a bride-to-be who had to choose her own standards over her father's guilt trips and how it immediately shifted her engagement.✧ Action Plan for Healing:Grieve the Gap: Acknowledge and mourn the love or relationship you never received from your father as a child.Set Boundaries: Build courageous communication boundaries with your father; if the interaction isn't loving or supportive, stop accepting it.Reclaim Sovereignty: Decouple your sense of worthiness from your father's perceptions, limitations, or expectations.Shift from "Hunter" to "Receiver": Stop overfunctioning to create certainty or leading the dynamic through masculine energy; instead, let safe love find you.Face the Fear of Displeasure: Get comfortable with others being upset with you as you let go of people-pleasing patterns.✧ The Benefits of This Work:Natural Standard Raising: When you heal the root pattern, your standards for how you should be treated raise automatically.Effortless Relationship Shifts: Your partner will neurosense the change in your energy, causing old, unhealthy dynamics to dissolve without a fight.Safety in Devotion: You move from "fireworks" chemistry often rooted in trauma to a love that feels like a warm, safe fireplace.Emotional Freedom: You stop looking for your husband to fill an old wound, allowing the relationship to exist in wholeness rather than lack.Ready to stop fighting for love and start receiving it?

Yasunao Tone (1935-2025) was a composer, sound artist, technology disrupter, theorist, and author who was a participant in the 1960s Japanese Fluxus movement, and an early influential innovator in noise and glitch music, conceptual art, chance operations, and computer-assisted composition. His work utilized optics, sensors, interactivity, and techno-abuse, most notably his technique of scratching the surface of compact disks in order to confuse the laser reader causing it to randomly select fragments of sound. He later transitioned to corrupting digital audio files using his own algorithms and software. He moved from Tokyo to New York City in 1972. This program includes performances by the artist at Roulette ranging from 1989 to 2022 tracing the evolution of his practice.

If you are Daniel Roher (Navalny), you resist the pressure to stay in your lane, take a leaf out of Bob Dylan's book, and make a massive leap into fiction! This week on The Filmmakers Podcast, Dom Lenoir sits down with Daniel to discuss his debut narrative feature, Tuner. Starring Leo Woodall, Dustin Hoffman, Havana Rose Liu, Lior Raz, and Jean Reno, the film is a brilliant blend of character drama and heist thriller. Daniel pulls no punches in this candid conversation about the realities of the industry. He shares how the Oscar opened doors, but why even at his level, the rejection never stops. He also breaks down the craft behind the film, explaining why he wrote the sound design into the script from day one, what it was like collaborating with master sound designer Johnny Burn, and his baptism of fire directing actors for the very first time.

Most of us are holding on — in our bodies, our identities, our relationships — without even knowing it. This conversation is about learning to let go."We're really good at holding on — to our material things, our identity, our grudges, our correctness. But letting go, that muscle is a little weak in us." — Leslie HowardLeslie is a yoga teacher, pelvic health specialist, death doula, and author of Pelvic Liberation and the forthcoming Between Breath and Death. In this wide-ranging conversation, she shares how chronic pain led her to specialize in pelvic floor health, why most people (including athletes and yoga practitioners) are too tight — not too loose — and how the same principle of letting go that heals the pelvic floor also applies to identity, suffering, and ultimately, death.We explore:• Why 75% of the people Leslie works with have a hypertonic (too tight) pelvic floor — and what causes it• The connection between trauma, breathing patterns, and chronic pelvic tension• How savasana can be a portal to genuine non-dual experience• The relationship between over-identification with the self and suffering• Gratitude as a daily practice — and why the details matter• What sitting with dying people has taught Leslie about how to liveLeslie's websiteNew book—If this conversation resonated with you, please subscribe and share it with someone who might need it.0:00 Introduction0:08 How Leslie found her way into yoga, pelvic health & death work4:08 Pelvic floor 101: what's actually going on for most people5:35 Hypertonic pelvic floor — why tight isn't the same as strong6:26 Trauma, breathing, and chronic pelvic holding7:37 Tone vs. tightness: what we actually want from the pelvic floor8:15 Body awareness, attention & the limits of knowing your own body10:24 Sexual conditioning, shame & their effect on pelvic health14:15 Are men's and women's pelvic floor issues that different?16:46 Savasana as a taught pose — Leslie's approach19:17 Why stillness has become a radical act20:48 Practical tools for a guided savasana: mantra, mudra & breath22:18 The experience of "no Leslie" — dissolving identity in savasana24:43 Over-identification with self as the root of suffering25:16 What does oneness actually imply?

Why do tones sometimes seem “good enough”… until they suddenly create complete chaos? In this episode, Jared and John dive into one of the trickiest realities of learning Chinese: when small tone mistakes collide with low-context situations and produce surprisingly big misunderstandings. Inspired by a real-life exchange student story in Shanghai, they share some hilarious examples of Chinese mix-ups involving pandas vs. chest hair, thesis defenses vs. poop, and one especially memorable mistake involving “receiving payment.”Beyond the laughs, this episode explores why context matters so much in Chinese, especially with names, place names, numbers, and situations where listeners don't have enough clues to infer what you mean. Jared and John also share practical strategies to reduce communication breakdowns: using written backup, giving extra context, confirming understanding, paying closer attention to “recasts,” and learning how to spot your own pronunciation errors.If you've ever been convinced you said something correctly only to get blank stares in return, this episode is for you. Mistakes are part of the process, but with a little awareness and a few smart habits, you can avoid some of the most spectacular ones.Links from the episode:Chinese Pronunciation WikiMandarin Companion Graded Readers

An exciting meetup featuring Tony Yayo, BX Tone, and Pistol Pete as they share stories, energy, and unforgettable moments together.

In this Friday deep dive recap, Vanessa Spina breaks down the biggest takeaways from her recent interview with leading body composition researcher Dr. Bill Campbell.

Dr. Nick Epley, PhD, is a professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago and a leading expert on the science of social connection. We discuss how seemingly small daily interactions with strangers (as well as with people we know) can meaningfully improve our mental and physical health.
