Your live auction is not stealing from your fund a need. Benefit auctioneer, coach, and game show host Seth Weiner (Your Rocktioneer, out of Atlanta) sits down with Trevor to take apart the myths and habits costing nonprofits money before, during, and after the event.Seth's whole approach starts on the front end. He shares the worksheet system he uses to work backwards from a fundraising goal, break it down by revenue stream, and pressure-test whether the number is realistic months out. He explains why walking into an event with a bird in the hand matters, why loading six consignment items into your live auction is usually a mistake, and how a golden ticket can put a bucket-list trip in front of 150 guests at $100 each instead of selling it once.The conversation moves into the part most events neglect: sponsorship and stewardship. Seth makes the case for treating sponsors as partners with a real ROI rather than logos on a banner, how to ask for more in a tighter giving climate without projecting your own budget onto donors, and why you should thank a donor seven times before you ask for anything. He also shares a free post-event toolkit with scripts and follow-up stats.Then the data. Seth breaks down his underbidder spotter concept, which he calls seven-seven: seven paddles up at $7,000 is seven donors you just identified. He shows how to use bidding behavior, silent auction test items, and board paddle data to build both next year's event and next year's major donors.Chapters:00:00 Intro00:44 Catching up: music, travel, and New Orleans03:35 Meet Seth Weiner, the coaching auctioneer07:56 Why cheap trips and cheap auctioneers don't raise money10:05 Being deliberate with your live auction11:14 Working backwards from your fundraising goal16:15 Asking for more in a tougher giving climate18:16 Giving sponsors a real ROI20:13 Turning sponsors into partners24:25 Thank donors seven times before you ask25:15 The free post-event stewardship toolkit26:41 The underbidder spotter and the seven-seven29:15 Drop a trip in the silent auction to test demand30:52 Using board data to coach the paddle raise31:43 The live auction doesn't steal from your fund a need33:39 Why Seth runs the fund a need first36:22 Rapid fire: stewardship, overthinking, and negotiating40:25 Where to find Seth

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has acknowledged that he flew on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet on two occasions during the 1990s. One flight was a family trip to visit his mother in Palm Beach, and the other was to South Dakota for a fossil-hunting excursion with his wife and children. Kennedy has stated that these trips took place before Epstein's crimes were publicly known and emphasized that he was never alone with Epstein. He characterized the flights as benign and unrelated to the network of abuse and trafficking that would later be exposed.Despite his explanation, the revelation has drawn public scrutiny, especially given the broader pattern of influential figures maintaining social ties with Epstein. Kennedy's presence on Epstein's plane, even in the early years, adds to the perception of how deeply embedded Epstein became in political, financial, and social circles. While Kennedy insists he had no knowledge of Epstein's criminal behavior, his name now appears among a long list of prominent individuals linked to Epstein's travel and hospitality—connections that continue to raise questions about proximity, privilege, and selective awareness.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:RFK Jr. admits he flew on Jeffrey Epstein's jet twice (nypost.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Please read the short story Basket of Trips in Elizabeth Strout's Pulitzer Prize-winning collection called Olive Kitteridge. In a deep sense this short story moves us from Yom Kippur energy to Sukkot energy. A few questions to guide your reading:What is the Basket of Trips literally? What does the Basket of Trips represent?What human problem does this story speak to? How does this problem show up in your life?What prevents Ed and Marlene Bonney from taking their trips? Why do they accumulate brochures about trips that they do not take?This short story is not driven by plot—not much happens. It is the first day of shiva after a funeral.  Rather, the story is driven by character development. Several minor characters show up at the shiva. What is their significance?What is the message of this story? How does it connect with Yom Kippur and Sukkot?If you were to internalize the message of this story (and of the High Holiday season), what would you do differently?

Most nonprofits treat auction software as a checkout tool. Mo treats it as a donor intelligence system. She covers why mobile bidding isn't too hard for older donors, the auto-close setting almost nobody turns on, the text message that can sell out a raffle in two minutes, and the platform fees quietly costing you donors.

Leisure Trips on Sukkot by Rabbi Avi Harari

This video podcast is the third in a series of three posts about the Hidden Hold of Horrors Golden Thread in the work of author Rowling-Galbraith. A Golden Thread is a plot point, scene, or character type that recurs repeatedly through an author's stories, a commonality that is evident only when looking at the writer's writings viewed as a whole. The ‘Hidden Hold of Horrors' repeated scene is of a location underground, be it a cave, a cellar, a tunnel, a tomb, or a basement pool, in which a frightening confrontation, a Near Death Experience, flat out murder, or transformative revelation occurs.The first post in this series was Nick Jeffery's exploration and explanation of Rowling's Church Cottage childhood home in Tutshill and its remarkable cellar beneath a covered access port, what has been mistakenly referred to as a “trapdoor.” In The Hidden Cellar Beneath J. K. Rowling's Childhood Home, Nick shares why a building in West England on the border with Wales from the mid 19th Century that was built as a Church of England school would have a substantial brick and cement vaulted basement and what this room, originally a cistern to prevent cholera outbreaks, was probably like during Rowling's childhood.[Golden Thread Image: Wovex.com; Ladder to Cellar Under Access Port: Pinterest]The second post was one I sent out yesterday in which I shared Nick's and my off-the-top-of-our-heads catalog of everything subterranean, frightening, and damp in Rowling's oeuvre, that is, her seven Harry Potter novels, eight Cormoran Strike mysteries, the Cursed Child ‘collaborative' play script, her Beedle the Bard fairy tale collection and Ickabog “political fairy tale,” the three Fantastic Beasts screenplays, her border-line autobiographical Casual Vacancy, and the Dante-meets-Dickens Christmas Pig classic. Rowling Golden Thread: The Hidden ‘Hold of Horrors Downstairs, Beneath the Trap DoorHogwarts Professor is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The morning after posting it, readers are already adding scenes Nick and I overlooked and I am kicking myself for not including the “deepest dungeon” in ‘The Warlock's Hairy Heart' and “the trapdoor beneath the rug” concealing the tunnel beneath Poem and Pretense's sanctuary from the Loss Adjustors, a tunnel reached via a ladder. ‘The Tunnel' takes them “to the bottom of the mountain” where Compass joins them for their flight to the City of the Missed across the Wastes of the Unlamented, Pig's story turn and meaning-in-the-middle. As Nick and I note in the conversation above, a comprehensive list will require a repeated reading of Rowling's complete writings. Please add the ones you think of that we missed in your comments below, especially for Cursed Child, the only book for which Nick and I drew a complete Golden Thread blank.Those first two posts cover half of the four subjects Nick and I tackle in this Golden Thread conversation; the Ten Questions guiding that discussion with the relevant links and notes from our answers can be found below. What I want to write out here briefly are some notes about Golden Threads in general, their place in a Lake and Shed bifurcated critical environment, and then the importance of the ‘Hidden Hold of Horrors' Golden Thread specifically for understanding Rowling's work, its inspiration and intentional artistry, and for seeing what will happen in the remaining Strike novels. Not to mention the meaning of Hallmarked Man's fictional silver oligarch Murdoch's name!{Lake image source; Golden Thread image source; Shed image source]Are ‘Golden Threads' Evidence of ‘Lake' Inspiration or ‘Shed' Intentional Artistry?Since the time of our first Hogwarts Professor Substack posts and podcasts, Nick and I have described what we are trying to advance here in the niche field of Rowling Studies is Fourth Generation work. For a discussion of the four generations of Rowling scholarship, listen to On Reading ‘On Writing.' where we discussed the evolution of reader approaches to Rowling-Galbraith texts and how each generation, while typical of a specific time period, continues into the other generations (most of Strike-Ellacott fandom, for example, is reading that series as the ‘Shippers and speculators did the Hogwarts Saga during Potter Mania, the first generation of Rowling Studies).What distinguishes Fourth Generation thinking is, in essence, (1) the incorporation of biographical material in understanding the inspiration of Rowling's work (per her implicit instruction since the late 2019 Lake and Shed metaphor interview), (2) the creation of a gauge to measure the success or failure of her work out of the intention evident in her choices of literary tools, her Shed artistry, and (3) shifting the critical focus from the latest work and the book-next-in-queue to the oeuvre as a whole, everything she's written. The bumper-sticker version of that?Lake — Shed — Golden Threads. Lake? Rowling describes the source of her stories' inspiration as the ‘Lake' of her unconscious mind, her personal issues, the events of her life, her reading and education. This is the work of Fourth Generation specialists who sift through what is known about Rowling's life in pursuit of clues to the source material of her stories.Shed? Again, Rowling's bipolar metaphor for her creative process has a marker, her ‘Shed,' that represents the alocal place ‘where' she deploys her traditional tools to craft archetypal story out of her very personal Lake inspiration. These tools — I focus on seven — have a specific quality, both antiquarian and profoundly effective in producing the effect Rowling desires on her reading audience.And, at last, the Golden Threads, which are not explicitly Lake or Shed findings, but, as noted above, “a plot point, scene, or character type that recurs repeatedly through an author's stories, a commonality that is evident only when looking at the writer's writings viewed as a whole.” Examples?In two episodes of The Kanreki Series last July (here and here), Nick and I discussed fourteen Golden Threads in Rowling's work: The Bad Dad, Writing about Writing, Violence against Women, the Evils of Fleet Street, Mother Love, Ghosts, Pregnancy Traps, the Lost Child with Grieving Steward, Evil Government, Occult tropes, the Embedded Author, the Search for the Real, Embedded Texts, and Shadow Doppelgangers. ‘Blood' makes fifteen (see here, here, and here for that) and my post yesterday about the ‘Hidden Hold of Horrors' is sixteen.As Nick and I explain in the conversation above, most of these Golden Threads have a Lake element or point of origin, e.g., the Cholera Cistern cellar beneath Church Cottage. Understanding why Rowling returns to them again and again in reinventive ways in her work, though, requires more than a psycho-biographical connection. This is obviously the case with all the underground terrors to be found in Rowling's stories.[Basement Image from WallPaperAccess.com]How are We to Understand the ‘Hidden Hold of Horrors' Golden Thread? What does it mean?As I listed at the end of yesterday's post and the conversation with Nick above, Rowling's childhood home with its hidden depths beneath the floorboards and neighboring graveyard and attendant ghosts is only one part of the explanation for the Hidden Hold Golden Thread. It's a wonderful point of origin and launching pad for inspiration, certainly, but restricting the interpretation of her usage of this meme to nightmares and flights of fancy she had as a child about the sublimely subliminal spaces around her is, for lack of a better word, lazy. Her use of these spaces again and again reflects, I'm sure, to a certain degree her psychological Default Setting from childhood memories of the ‘Wet Nightmare Place' under the dining room table and next door. But Rowling's mind was shaped as much by her bibliography, the books she read and loved, as by her biography, the exterior circumstances of her life. Her reading is the bridge linking her Lake and Shed creative process and it plays an outsized role in her Golden Threads as well. Granting that the first inspiration of her unconscious mind may just have been childhood fears and fantasies, knowing that Rowling has read Homer, Virgil, and Dante and studied Greek mythology from her time at Wyedean Comprehensive through UExeter means that a Trip to the Underworld to speak to the dead is a touchstone of myth and epic. There's a word for this commonplace, katabasis, the going-down-and-coming-back. Odysseus visits Tiresias, Aeneas his father Anchises, Dante with Virgil tours the Inferno's multiple levels — and Psyche is sent by Venus into Hades on the last of her purgative trials.· Rowling, having entered into these stories, knows they are delivery vehicles for the cathartic transformative change to be found in consultation with the dead and in thinking about death.Joseph Campbell famously argued in Hero with a Thousand Faces that per James Joyce, ethnographers, and comparative mythology experts this descent into the nether worlds and return was an essential aspect of the “monomyth” or Ur story underlying all story and myth. Campbell's more important contribution was arguing that this was not an abstract historical or literary assertion but one fundamentally important in every human being's life and psycho-spiritual development.The Journey to the Underworld from this perspective is that it represents the conscious entry into the Unconscious Mind, the Hidden ‘Depths' of the Person Behind the Persona-Mask. Rowling has said that, if the writing dream had not worked out, she would have studied to become a psychologist. It is a touchstone belief of Fourth Generation Rowling Studies that, even though the writing gig did work out, that Rowling-Galbraith still became a psychologist in the sense of a person working to help her client-readers experience meaning (logos) more profoundly in their souls (psyche).Every time we descend into the depths with Harry, Ron, and Hermione, with Cormoran and Robin, or with Jack Jones, we jump into a shared psychological crucible for our alchemical dissolution, purification, and reintegration. In this Golden Thread, we can see the Shed tools of literary alchemy, mythology, psychomachia, Christian symbolism, chiastic writing, and cathartic shock all at work.And, though speculating about the novel-on-the-near-horizon isn't a signature quality of Fourth Generation reading, I would be remiss not to point out that Rowling-Galbraith has left pointers in Hallmarked Man and throughout the Strike series that Robin Ellacott is on a ‘Heroine's Journey' — and overdue for a trip to Hades.Pointers to Trips Underground to Come in the Cormoran Strike Series' Remaining BooksSubscribers to Hogwarts Professor are familiar with Rowling-Galbraith's use of the Cupid and Psyche Myth as a template for the Strike-Ellacott series, a use the author highlighted in a tweet after the publication of Strike 8. That myth is about the Soul's trials to be worthy of Divine Love, Psyche being the Greek word for Soul and Cupid or Eros for love (Anteros for True Love). Psyche's great trial is her descent into Hell at Venus' command to receive from Persephone a gift for the Goddess of Beauty. As infernal as Robin Ellacott's sufferings have been, Serious Strikers have been anticipating that she will at last ‘go there' for real in Strike 9.Iris T. M. wrote in The Rowling Library Magazine, Issue #99 (March 2025), her belief that Robin's story arc conformed, intentionally or not on the author's part, with ‘The Heroine's Journey.' See ‘Robin's Heroine's Journey: How J. K. Rowling's Robin Ellacott from the Strike Series Follows the Classic Path of Self-Discovery' in that archived issue of TRL (and say a prayer for the return of The Rowling Library in 2027!). Iris mentions psychotherapist Maureen Murdock as the original advocate of a ‘Heroine's Journey' distinct from a Campbell-esque ‘Hero's Journey,' but uses the ‘Aletis' archetype of Jody Gentian Bower as her framework for tracing Robin's story arc. It's a brilliant exegesis and well worth reading in full.It misses the mark, however, in at least three important respects.First, it makes no mention of the Cupid and Psyche myth, which conforms to every ‘Heroine's Journey' marker and is Rowling's only admitted mythological template for the series;Second, it was written before the publication of Hallmarked Man so Iris T. M. could not have seen that Rowling-Galbraith gave a historical character, a 19th Century Freemason, silver millionaire, and author of Secrets of the Craft (see Ed Shardlow's discussion of his importance here), the name Alexander Hughson Murdock. Taking that as a pointer to Maureen Murdock and her groundbreaking The Heroine's Journey: Woman's Quest for Wholeness, we're obliged, I think, to look at the stages Dr Murdock assigns to this transformative odyssey.Last, that look reveals a stage that Iris, Bower, or both neglect, namely, ‘Initiation and Descent to the Goddess' after ‘Awakening to Feelings of Spiritual Aridity/Death.' Iris following Bower looks for a ‘Dark Night of the Soul' and attendant “descent into the underworld,” which she ties to Robin's being buried alive at the UHC's Chapman Farm in Running Grave. She argues that after this experience “two key stages remain in the Aletis Journey: Self discovery and integration—where she fully embraces her skills and authenticity—and the Establishment of a new home, where she builds a life that reflects her true self and her desires.”A Murdock reading, in contrast, suggests that Robin's descent into hell has not yet begun or is not yet over.Heroine Journey's Cycle image source; Maureen Murdock image sourceMurdock's ten stage Heroine's Journey looks like this per HeroineJourneys.com with my notes in [Brackets}:* HEROINE SEPARATES FROM THE FEMININE. The “feminine” is often a mother/mentor figure or a societally prescribed feminine/marginalized/outsider role. [Robin's decision to pursue her vocation to be a private detective despite her fiancee's and family's disapproval, especially Linda's]* IDENTIFICATION WITH THE MASCULINE & GATHERING OF ALLIES. The heroine embraces a new way of life. This often involves choosing a path that is different than the heroine's prescribed societal role, gearing up to “fight” an organization/role/group that is limiting the heroine's life options, or entering some masculine/dominant-identity defined sphere. [Her move from secretary to detective to partner at the Agency]* ROAD/TRIALS AND MEETING OGRES & DRAGONS. The heroine encounters trials and meets people who try to dissuade the heroine from pursuing their chosen path, or who try to destroy the heroine. [Insert list here of those who try to convince Robin to leave the Agency or to kill her.]* EXPERIENCING THE BOON OF SUCCESS. The heroine overcomes the obstacles in their way. (This is typically where the hero's journey ends.) [Partner status and respect of Strike and the Met as a First Tier detective]* HEROINE AWAKENS TO FEELINGS OF SPIRITUAL ARIDITY/DEATH. The heroine's new way of life (attempting the masculine/dominant identity) is too limited. Their success in this new way of life is either temporary, illusory, shallow, or requires a betrayal of self over time. [Robin's growing awareness that her vocation as a detective is in an undefined but certain way in conflict with her life as a woman and the roles of wife, daughter, and mother]* INITIATION & DESCENT TO THE GODDESS. The heroine faces a crisis of some sort in which the new way of life is insufficient, and the heroine falls into despair. All of the masculine/dominant-group strategies have failed them. [Strike 9! Robin breaks down but conferring with the Goddess-Crone, her Jungian psychoanalyst, she learns how imbalanced her life has become; she makes decisions a la those of Psyche in Hades per the Crone's instructions]* HEROINE URGENTLY YEARNS TO RECONNECT WITH THE FEMININE. The heroine wants to, but is unable to return to their initial limited state/position. [Ditto]* HEROINE HEALS THE MOTHER/DAUGHTER SPLIT. The heroine reclaims some of their initial values, skills, or attributes (or those of others like them) but now views these traits from a new perspective. [I suspect this healing will be akin to Strike's Chapel ‘conversation' with the late Charlotte Campbell; for reasons to be discussed, I think Linda Ellacott dies in Strike 9 which precipitates Robin's mental crisis]* HEROINE HEALS THE WOUNDED MASCULINE WITHIN. The heroine makes peace with the “masculine” approach to the world as it applies to them. [Strikes 9 and 10]* HEROINE INTEGRATES THE MASCULINE & FEMININE. In order to face the world/future with a new understanding of themselves and the world/life, the heroine integrates the “masculine” and “feminine” qualities/perspectives. This permits the heroine to see through binaries and to interact with a complex world that includes the heroine but is also larger than their personal lifetime or their geographical/cultural milieu. [The Alchemical Hermaphrodite or Rebis, Strike 10]I think there are two more Golden Threads to be explored in Rowling's work that are rooted in Tutshill's Church Cottage and Rowling's life there, both of which I began to pull in the conversation with Nick above, namely, the Nightmare Upstairs Room and the Neglected Dead Mother. But those will have to wait for another day!Hats off in salute to Iris T. M. for her work with Robin's ‘Heroine's Journey' (and Strike's in TRL Issue #100)! Writing as she was before Hallmarked Man and not being familiar with Rowling's Shed tools and how they work together, she still revealed the psychological template Rowling is deliberately following, it seems, if the Murdoch name drop is any indication.The Hidden Hold of Horrors, then, is an especially rich Lake-Shed-and-Golden-Thread story point in Rowling's work. Stay tuned for more of the same with respect to Mums and Upstairs Nightmares!The Ten Questions with Notes and Links1. Good day, Nick! What can you tell me about the trap door basement in Rowling's childhood home, Church Cottage in Tutshill?* The Hidden Cellar Beneath J. K. Rowling's Childhood Home2. So, it's bigger than I once thought. Are you asking for the reasons I think you're asking?* Golden Thread discussion above3. So, yes, that Ironbridge cellar and my recent revisits to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone with its gauntlet run beneath a trapdoor, made me wonder: is the nightmare basement a Rowling Golden Thread? It's not as if all of them have been identified; you just came up with the Crimson Golden Thread this year --* See here, here, and here for that.4. How many Golden Threads have we discussed, John? Why do we care again?* Golden Thread 1: Kanreki (Bad Dad, Writing about Writing, Violence against Women, the Evils of Fleet Street, Mother Love, Ghosts, Pregnancy Traps, the Lost Child with Grieving Steward)* Golden Thread 2: Kanreki (Evil Government, Occult tropes, the Embedded Author, the Search for the Real, Embedded Texts, and Shadow Doppelgangers)* Lost Child Golden Thread: Kanreki Finale* See Golden Thread discussion above.5. So it's a Big Deal, really. Care to join me in reviewing Rowling's work to see what's lurking in her basements? (Harry Potter back and forth)* Rowling Golden Thread: The Hidden ‘Hold of Horrors Downstairs, Beneath the Trap Door6. How about the Stand-Alones, John: Casual Vacancy, the Ickabog, The Christmas Pig? And the collaboration exercises, Cursed Child and Fantastic Beasts (back and forth)* Rowling Golden Thread: The Hidden ‘Hold of Horrors Downstairs, Beneath the Trap Door7. And Cormoran Strike? (back and forth)* Rowling Golden Thread: The Hidden ‘Hold of Horrors Downstairs, Beneath the Trap Door* Nick: “And the Dell, of course, in Lethal White's Chiswell House, where the remains of the Shetland pony are dug up in the pink blanket.”8. Okay, that was fun -- and we have sufficient evidence to say that Rowling thinks of the spaces downstairs as wet, scary, even horrible. So what? Tell me this isn't just a Lake inspiration bit; what is this very deliberate artist choosing to do with the basement image? Do we have any bibliographic pointers?* Discussion Above in text.9. What about the psychological piece here? Rowling has said she'd have been a psychologist if the writing gig hadn't worked out. Is her ‘underground' piece of Harry's Journey everywhere our moving into the subconscious of depth psychology?* Joseph Campbell ‘Hero's Journey,' Joyce scholar, Jung disciple, monomyth advocate – myth not only historical but important as individual psychological template;* Maureen Murdock ‘Heroine's Journey,' Jungian psychotherapist, writing for therapiss and patients not writers on Campbell model, “Initiation and Descent to the Goddess”* Victoria Lynn Schmidt ‘Heroine's Journey for Writers'* Iris T. M: The Heroine's Journeys of Robin Ellacott (TRL #99) and of Cormoran Strike (TRL #100)10. Do you think we'll be going underground in the last two Cormoran Strike novels? * YES, we will!Hogwarts Professor is a reader-supported publication.

The Boys are back! We'll catch up on Frank's trip, the Reacher Finale, Strange New Worlds, Lanterns and a whole lot more.

Are guys' trips and girls' trips killing marriages? Erica recently watched a clip from an attorney who made that argument. When she told me about it, I'll admit, I thought he had a point. Now, we're not talking about the occasional weekend away with your friends. Friendships matter. Having a life outside of your marriage is healthy. But what happens when your friends consistently get the best of your time, energy, and attention while your spouse gets whatever is left over? What happens when the guys' trip or girls' trip is protected on the calendar, but time together as a couple isn't? We believe your marriage should be your number one relational priority. That doesn't mean your spouse has to be your only friend or that you can never do things without them. It means your marriage gets treated like the priority you say it is. Because when we consistently invest more into our friendships than we do our marriage, we probably shouldn't be surprised when those friendships grow stronger while our marriage grows weaker. We also talk about something that has become a bit of a filter for us when it comes to friendships: people who constantly complain about their spouse. The people you surround yourself with can influence how you see your own marriage, and we think that's worth paying attention to. In this episode, Erica and I talk about guys' trips, girls' trips, friendships, priorities, and what it actually looks like to make your marriage your number one relationship. And yes, we might irritate a few people with this one.

We just celebrated our 8-year wedding anniversary, and it got us thinking: where should you travel for each year of marriage? There are the anniversary gifts by year, but what about trips? We discuss the best trips to take for your anniversary for years 1-10, 15, 25, and 30 and even have a little inspiration for other milestone anniversaries!   Relevant Links (may contain affiliate links, meaning if you make a purchase through these links, we earn a small commission-at no additional cost to you!): -France travel survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/8ZQHDW6 -Chocolate Mousse Recipe: https://ashbaber.com/chocolate-mousse/ -5 Days in Saint Lucia: https://worldwidehoneymoon.com/st-lucia-itinerary-in-5-7-days/ -Week in Puerto Rico: https://worldwidehoneymoon.com/puerto-rico-itinerary-in-7-days/ -Macs Adventures: https://www.macsadventure.com/us/ -Vermont Fall Road Trip: https://worldwidehoneymoon.com/vermont-road-trip-itinerary/ -Peru 10-Day Itinerary: https://worldwidehoneymoon.com/perfect-10-day-peru-itinerary/ -10 Days in Costa Rica: https://worldwidehoneymoon.com/costa-rica-itinerary-in-10-days/ -Galapagos Cruise Itinerary: https://worldwidehoneymoon.com/7-day-galapagos-itinerary/   Want to support our work?

The bid paddle has exactly one job: let the auctioneer identify the bidder number quickly and correctly. Get that right and it worked. Get it wrong, with cursive lettering, a busy background, or so many sponsor logos it looks like a NASCAR, and every other feature on it is wasted.In this episode, Xavier of Imprint Items sits down with Trevor to unpack the design decisions behind a paddle that actually functions. You'll learn why big, bold, high-contrast numbers beat every other design choice, why the handle is the smart place for a QR code or sponsor logo instead of the face of the paddle, why every element on the paddle should earn its spot with a clear purpose, and how color-coded paddles can quietly recognize VIPs, monthly givers, and legacy donors without saying a word.Xavier also makes the case that a well-designed custom paddle does double duty: guests keep them as souvenirs tied to the memory of the event, and a sponsor who pays to put their logo on the handle turns the paddle from an expense line into a source of revenue.If you plan galas, benefit auctions, or paddle raises, this is a practical look at a small detail that has an outsized effect on how smoothly your live auction runs.Chapters:00:00 Intro00:24 Meet Xavier and Imprint Items01:41 Why the bid paddle is a science02:39 The one job: readable numbers, high contrast03:53 Don't get too fancy: cursive, QR codes, and NASCAR paddles05:16 What belongs on the back vs. the handle06:39 QR codes: only with a purpose07:28 Beyond paddles: banners, table covers, event swag09:56 Color-coded paddles to recognize VIPs and legacy donors12:30 Turning a paddle expense into sponsor revenue13:06 Where to find Xavier

Full show notes: BenGreenfieldLife.com/gutsolution In this episode, you'll meet Josh Dech, a former paramedic turned Crohn's and colitis consultant who argues that all three things Western medicine says about inflammatory bowel disease are wrong: it's not genetic, not classically autoimmune, and not idiopathic. We walk the research trail from a 1988 Swedish twin study through the NOD2 gene to the genome-wide studies that mapped hundreds of risk loci and still explained only a sliver of the disease, and into the numbers that worry him most, where the West has 6% of the world's population but 60% of its bowel disease. You'll also get the practical half: his sequence to help stop the active cause first, then how he suggests opening the seven drainage pathways, why he takes a full history before ordering a single test, where peptides belong, what is really coming out of people during a parasite cleanse, and why $30,000 fecal transplants keep failing. Near the end, it turns personal and a little gross, into my own dairy problem and the biomechanics of a proper bowel movement.

It's DEATH MATCH season again, and it's time to take two of the very best PANTERA albums and make them battle it out in the Bunkerpoon Octagon, featuring 1992's multi-platinum VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER against the 1994 Billboard Number 1 follow-up, FAR BEYOND DRIVEN.   VULGAR was under construction throughout the band's relentless tour for Cowboys From Hell in the states and following their legendary performance at the Monsters of Rock show in Moscow at Tushino airfield in 1991 in front of more than a million people after the fall of the Soviet Union. Possessing a far heavier, angrier, and potent sound than its predecessor, VULGAR had just raised the bar for metal and perfected the power groove metal sound that began on Cowboys.   DRIVEN, much like VULGAR, progressed forward in the same fashion, with a much more aggressive production quality and a sound that is effectively the hairier, darker, and uglier follow up to Vulgar with just as much of a beautifully brutal assault on the senses, not to mention an exponentially more intense album cover (NO, not THAT one!  The OTHER one…but also…definitely THAT one, for sure!)   It's time to throw down the gauntlet and unleash hell in the Bunkerpoon Octagon, because the time has come to pass judgment and “there can be only one” to reign victorious.    So “take your shoes off if you need to” and “get your Book of Sevens out” before you JOIN US to find out THE WINNER of this PANTERA HEAD-TO-HEAD DEATH MATCH, featuring two of the finest back-to-back Terry Date produced albums in metal history: VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER & FAR BEYOND DRIVEN.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can't be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast   Show Notes & Time Stamps: (00:01): “That's the noise I make…” / “Have y'all seen the Chick-Fil-A Chicken & Waffle thing?” / “I love The Lord's chicken…but their biscuits aren't good… / #ChickFilA “As long as we're talking shit about fast food…”/ #BK #chickennuggets “Cats, Rats, & Bats Value Menu…” / ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised ***  “That was Bill…about 35 years ago…” ***WELCOME BACK TO THE BUNKERPOON CENTER FOR METAL EXCELLENCE AND THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST!!!*** / “I did get the spicy (sandwich)…that's the move…”   (05:20): ***PATREON US at www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast *** “This episode is gonna feature some SHITTAH sent to us by the band…this band is called Maidenhead…” #EPK #bandcamp “I saw that name and immediately thought of an Iron Maiden cover band…” “Matthew promised he'd be totally respectful…maybe not ‘totally' respectful…” #Maidenhead KILL OR BE KILLED - feat.

Philip takes a look at a new investigation by the California High-Speed Rail Office of the Inspector General found that the Rail Authority improperly reimbursed consultants for roughly $600,000 in questionable travel expenses, including luxury flights and trips to gyms and entertainment venues. The report concluded that oversight failures, poor documentation, and noncompliance with state rules allowed the spending to occur, adding another controversy to California's already embattled high-speed rail project.

Original Air Date: 09/19/26 Episode Number: 477Episode SummaryThis week on Home In Progress, Dan covers paint store tools you've probably walked past without a second look, and explains why each one is worth having. They include FrogTape (green and yellow), the painter's five-in-one tool, a brush comb, the Handy Paint Pail, the Wooster Pelican Pail and the Wooster Sherlock system. Then he gets into ombre walls, a painted gradient where one color slowly melts into the next with no hard line between them. He explains what the look is, where it works and which direction the colors can run, then walks through the full process from choosing colors to blending wet paint. The episode wraps up with a fall list: jobs to get on the calendar now, plus a few fun things to do before the season gets away from us.Timestamps[00:00] -- Show Preview [01:09] -- FrogTape Clean Lines [03:28] -- Yellow FrogTape Delicate [04:29] -- Five In One Tool [05:28] -- Brush Comb Care [06:15] -- Handy Paint Pail [07:24] -- Pelican Pail Combo [08:28] -- Wooster Sherlock System [09:32] -- Ombre Walls Explained [10:02] -- Color Capping Context [10:59] -- What Ombre Means [15:20] -- Where Ombre Works [16:29] -- Ombre Direction Choices [18:50] -- How To Paint Ombre [19:27] -- Ombre Recap Practical [20:43] -- Ombre Wall Basics [21:36] -- Choose Three Colors [23:20] -- Prep and Base Coat [24:04] -- Map the Color Zones [25:23] -- Blend Like a Pro [28:55] -- Corners Tape and Edges [29:57] -- Practice and Dry Time [33:14] -- Fall Checklist Begins [33:51] -- Chimneys Apples Gutters [35:21] -- Trips and Winter Prep [37:20] -- Historic Homes and Furnace [38:36] -- Last Fall Fun and WrapPaint Tools You've Walked Past [01:09]Some of the most useful things in a paint store don't look like much on the shelf. Once you know what they do, painting gets a lot easier.Green FrogTape. FrogTape has PaintBlock Technology along its edges. When latex paint touches that edge, the water in the paint makes it react and form a tiny barrier, so paint doesn't creep under the tape. You still need a clean surface, a firmly pressed edge and a light hand with the paint, but the lines come out much sharper. Through the end of September, RepcoLite has 1.5-inch green FrogTape 3-packs for $12.99, which works out to about $4.33 a roll.Yellow FrogTape [03:28]. This is the same clean-line technology in a delicate surface tape. It's made for freshly painted surfaces that have dried, and for wallpaper. Regular tape on those surfaces can pull paint or damage the paper when it comes off.Five-in-one and seven-in-one tools [04:29]. They look like oddly shaped putty knives, but each part has a job. The flat blade scrapes and spreads patching compound. The pointed corner digs out and opens up cracks before you patch them. The half-moon curve squeezes paint out of a roller cover while you wash it. Some versions also open paint cans or have a flip-out screwdriver.Brush comb [05:28]. This is a small steel comb you run through the bristles while cleaning a brush. It separates the bristles so water gets deeper in, and it pulls out paint that has built up near the ferrule. That buildup slowly ruins a good brush. A comb costs very little and adds years to a brush.Handy Paint Pail and Handy Paint Cup [06:15]. Both are hand-held containers for cutting in. A magnet on the side holds your brush, so it doesn't sink into the paint when you need a free hand. They clean up and can be reused.Wooster Pelican Pail [07:24]. It's a similar idea with a brush magnet, plus an angled roll-off area for mini rollers up to about 4.5 inches. You can cut in, stick the brush to the magnet, roll a section and go back to the brush, all from one pail. Liners are available.Wooster Sherlock System [08:28]. These roller frames and extension poles lock together. You don't thread anything, and nothing spins loose while you work. You can swap frame sizes and change pole length in a few seconds.Ombre Walls: What They Are and Where They Work [09:32]A couple weeks back we talked about color capping, which uses two or three related colors with deliberate, visible transitions as you move up the room. Ombre (ombré) does the opposite. The colors blend into each other like a gradient, with no stripes or bands. On a well-done ombre wall, you can't point to the spot where one color stops and the next begins.You can use shades of one color, which is the easiest and most subtle option, or blend between different colors. Because the color keeps shifting as your eye moves across the wall, you get depth and movement that a single color can't give you. Soft, related colors feel calm. Bolder colors make it dramatic.Where it works [15:20]. The wall behind a bed, a dining room wall, one big living room wall, or a kid's room. Some versions online look like the night sky just after sunset. You can wrap a whole room in it, but blending across corners gets tricky, and Dan thinks one wall is usually plenty.Direction [16:29]. Dark at the bottom and light at the top is the most common choice. It puts visual weight down low and makes the ceiling feel lifted and airy. Flip it, with dark at the top, and you get a much more dramatic room. Look at examples online before you decide.How to Paint an Ombre Wall [18:50]No sprayer needed. Regular wall paint, rollers and brushes will do it. It takes more technique than rolling two coats, but most people can pull it off with a little practice.Choose three colors [21:36]. Pick a light, a medium and a dark. Start with color chips, then get Benjamin Moore color samples and try them on foam board or the wall. Blended colors can expose undertones you didn't expect. For a first try, pick colors a couple of steps apart on the same chip.Prep and base coat [23:20]. Fill holes, sand, clean the wall and tape off trim and neighboring walls. Paint the entire wall in the lightest color, top to bottom, and let it dry 3 to 4 hours.Map the zones [24:04]. Divide the wall roughly into three horizontal zones. Don't tape the zones off. Light pencil marks are fine if you want a reference.Roll the medium and dark colors. Put the medium color across the middle and the dark color along the bottom. The edges can be wavy, and this paint doesn't need to stay wet. You're just establishing the zones.Blend [25:23]. Put each color in its own container, like a Handy Paint Pail or Pelican Pail, with its own brush, and keep a few clean brushes for blending. Start where dark meets medium and work about 2 feet of wall at a time. Brush fresh dark paint in a 6 to 12 inch band along the top of the dark zone, then fresh medium paint right above it. While both are wet, use a clean brush to blend across the line with loose diagonal strokes, around 45 degrees. You're softening the line where the colors meet, not erasing either color. Move to the next 2 feet and blend it into the section you just finished. When that transition is done, repeat the process where medium meets light.Corners and edges [28:55]. Feathering right into a corner is fiddly. Tape the adjoining wall. If that wall has fresh paint on it, use yellow FrogTape so the tape doesn't pull the new paint off.Practice and dry time [29:57]. Practice on a scrap of drywall or foam board first. You'll learn how wet the paint needs to be, how much pressure to use on the brush and how wide you want the blend. Know when to stop. Once the paint starts to set up, more brushing just drags half-dry paint around and leaves marks that show every time sunlight hits the wall. If you can't blend fast enough, a little Floetrol extends the working time of latex paint. It isn't a cure-all, but it helps.Tried an ombre wall? Send pictures to radio@repcolite.com.Fall Checklist: Jobs and Fun Stuff [33:14]Chimney [33:51]. If you plan to use a fireplace or wood stove, have it swept. If it hasn't been used in a while, have it inspected too.Apple picking. Pick a Saturday and an orchard. Try not to walk out with $150 worth of apples.Gutters. Start clearing them now and keep at it as the leaves fall, so water moves away from the foundation.Charlevoix mushroom houses [35:21]. Earl Young's stone homes have curved roofs and huge boulders built into them. Charlevoix has a self-guided route. Most of the houses are private, so enjoy them from the street.Snowblower. Change the oil and make sure it starts. Repair shops have room in their schedules now. They won't in late November.Sprinkler winterization. If someone blows out your system, get on their schedule now.Historic home tours [37:20]. The Meyer May House in Grand Rapids is a restored Frank Lloyd Wright home with free tours. The Hackley and Hume Houses in Muskegon are Queen Anne Victorians from the lumber era, and their Flashlight Tour is October 9. The Felt Mansion near Saugatuck is also worth a visit.Furnace. Change the filter and make sure it runs before the first cold stretch, when everyone else finds out theirs...

Philip takes a look at a new investigation by the California High-Speed Rail Office of the Inspector General found that the Rail Authority improperly reimbursed consultants for roughly $600,000 in questionable travel expenses, including luxury flights and trips to gyms and entertainment venues. The report concluded that oversight failures, poor documentation, and noncompliance with state rules allowed the spending to occur, adding another controversy to California's already embattled high-speed rail project.

Yehuda Kaploun, U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, joins the morning show to discuss his trips to Columbia and the Dominican Republic where he educated the people about the importance of combatting anti-Semitism and hate in general.

The question that costs nonprofits the most money at their gala is "are the bid spotters really necessary?" The answer is yes, and the reason is arithmetic. Four trained ringmen in a 500-person room act like a 200% increase in fundraisers on the floor, and a single spotter interaction can lift one bid from $4,000 to $5,000 in seconds. Multiply that across every live auction item and the auction team pays for itself many times over.In this episode, Marty Murad of Murad Auctions sits down with Trevor to reframe the live auction as a revenue-producing asset instead of a cost. You will learn why live auction income is unrestricted net revenue you can spend anywhere in your organization, including development staff salaries, how to back into a $50,000 live auction goal with honest per-item math, why selling the right packages multiple times is the gold standard for maximizing revenue, and why the live auction aids your fund-a-need rather than robbing it. Marty also makes the finance case for treating consignment as cost of goods sold, not an expense.If you run galas, benefit auctions, or paddle raises for a nonprofit, this is a tactical look at the numbers behind a successful live auction.Topics: nonprofit fundraising, live auctions, benefit auctioneers, bid spotters and ringmen, consignment packages, fund-a-need, paddle raise strategy, donor cultivation.Chapters:00:00 Intro00:18 The LinkedIn post that started this01:05 Why live auctions create unrestricted funds02:34 Finding the right packages: ask your top donors where they travel03:51 Backing into your goal with live auction math04:51 The gold standard: selling packages multiple times06:18 Does the live auction rob your fund-a-need?08:34 The worst question to ask an auctioneer09:21 How bid spotters add 200% more fundraisers to the room11:47 Consignment: expense or cost of goods sold?12:54 Where to find Marty

Intro: Fall can be one of the best times of the year to use your RV, but it is also the time to start thinking about freezing temperatures and winter storage.In this episode of The Smart RVer Podcast, Eric talks about enjoying those last RV trips of the season while getting a head start on winter prep. This isn't a detailed, step-by-step winterizing episode. Instead, it is a practical reminder of what RV owners should consider before the first freeze catches them by surprise.We cover watching the overnight forecast, gathering winterizing supplies early, checking your plumbing system, testing the furnace, inspecting batteries, roof seals, tires, awnings, and other areas that deserve attention before storage.The goal is simple: keep enjoying the RV while the weather allows, but have a plan in place so winterizing becomes routine maintenance rather than a last-minute emergency.Summary:There may still be a few good RV trips left before winter arrives, and there is no reason to end the camping season too early. But fall weather can change quickly. A warm afternoon does not mean temperatures will stay above freezing overnight, and one unexpected cold snap can create expensive problems in an RV plumbing system. In this episode, Eric walks through a practical early-winter preparation checklist for RV owners who want to keep camping while preparing for colder weather.We talk about why now is the time to watch overnight temperatures, gather winterizing supplies, and refresh your memory on how your RV's plumbing system is laid out.You will also hear reminders about:Locating water-heater bypass valves and low-point drainsChecking outside showers, spray ports, filters, and other easy-to-forget plumbingTesting the furnace before the first really cold camping nightChecking battery condition before winter storageInspecting the roof and exterior sealantsPreparing for rodentsChecking tires, awnings, and slide-topper fabricsEmptying and cleaning the sewer systemMaking a list of repairs or maintenance items to tackle before springThis episode is not intended to replace a complete RV winterizing procedure. It is about getting ahead of the season so you already have the supplies, knowledge, and plan you need when freezing temperatures finally arrive.Enjoy those last trips of the year, but prepare like winter could show up next week.And don't forget to download the companionLast RV Trips Before Winter — Early Winter Prep Checklistto keep with your RV maintenance supplies.Takeaways:As winter approaches, prepare your RV for storage.Take last-minute camping trips before switching to winter preparations.Monitoring the weather forecast is crucial to ensure you winterize your RV on time.Prioritize rodent prevention by removing food and thoroughly cleaning the RV interior.Regular off-season maintenance checks can prevent larger issues.Utilizing quality parts for repairs and replacements is essential to maintain RV functionality.Resources Mentioned in this Episode:Max Velocity WeatherWinter Preparation ChecklistHow to Winterize Your RV Step by StepContact Us - Call, Text, Video, EmailOur Online Resources:The Smart Rver YouTube Channel - Check Out Our No-Nonsense YouTube VideosSunpro Mfg - RV Sunshade, Windshield Covers & Slide Out Awning FabricsHot Boat Ropes - Marine Cordage- Anchor Lines, Dock Lines, Tow Lines, etc.Top Rated Podcast - The Smart RVer Podcast Website

James is back this week! I was tempted to release this split into two episodes because I think the discussion might appeal to different people. In the first half we talk about James going on adventurous trips with his kids and his ascent of the Finnish Line in Rocklands. In the second half we talk about Exodia but more interestingly in many ways we talk about the way the ascent of Exodia was publicised as James was involved with helping to publicise the ascent as part of his position in La Sportiva. That chat starts about halfway through and I personally found it super interesting and a great opportunity for me to stick my generously proportioned beak behind the curtain which is basically the whole reason I do this silly podcast in the first place. I'm curious if you're feeling charitable, or nosey if you're not.  If you're enjoying the podcast and would like to help us keep it going a little while longer then please do consider checking out our Patreon page! https://www.patreon.com/user?u=70353823Support the show

Dylan Mortensen told investigators that she had been awake inside the King Road house during the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, and heard a series of noises that initially did not make sense to her. She described hearing what she thought was Kaylee Goncalves playing with her dog upstairs, then hearing someone say there was somebody in the house. Mortensen said she opened her bedroom door multiple times as the noises continued. She later heard crying from Xana Kernodle's room and a male voice saying words to the effect of, “It's okay, I'm going to help you.” In later-released police interview footage, Mortensen described that voice as unsettling rather than reassuring and recalled hearing a scream before the house became quiet. Her account ultimately provided investigators with one of the most important firsthand timelines of what was happening inside the house while the murders were taking place.Mortensen also told police that when she opened her door for the final time, she saw a man dressed in black with a mask covering his mouth and nose walking toward her and then past her toward the rear sliding-glass door. She described him as at least 5-foot-10, athletically built but not particularly muscular, with bushy eyebrows. She said she stood there in a “frozen shock phase” before locking herself back inside her room, and she did not claim to recognize the man. That description later became important to investigators when they compared it with Bryan Kohberger's driver's-license information after identifying his white Hyundai Elantra. Mortensen's account also dramatically changed the early public understanding of the case, because police had initially allowed the impression that the surviving roommates had simply slept through the murders when, in reality, Mortensen had been awake, heard portions of the attack and encountered the man investigators believed was leaving the house.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
