Mom and I once took a class in farm transition planning, where the instructor taught us an important lesson: family farms are ALWAYS in transition. And that's definitely true. But some days, I feel that more keenly than others. I'm Shannon Hayes, and you're listening to Season 7, Episode 10 of The Hearth of Sap Bush Hollow. Looking for the written version?

This week we're talking tires—and no, not just the dangerously tempting Avants member deals you should be taking advantage of! California is rolling out a new tire efficiency regulation that's already stirring up debate across the auto world. On paper, it's about improving fuel economy and reducing emissions. In reality, it could significantly reshape what tires you can actually buy and make you buy more of them. A lot more. The rule centers around rolling resistance—basically how much energy your tires waste as they roll down the road. Under the proposed program, replacement tires sold in California will need to meet stricter efficiency standards, similar to the low rolling resistance tires that come on new cars from the factory. Here's where it gets interesting: Tires that don't meet the standard may no longer be legal to sell in the state. The regulation is expected to roll out in phases starting around January 1, 2028. It applies to most passenger vehicle and light truck replacement tires, with some exemptions (like certain off-road or low-volume tires). The goal is improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions, with "projected" cost savings for drivers over time (hint: that won't happen). Critics argue this could reduce tire choice, especially for enthusiasts, and potentially push the market toward a narrower set of approved options. Some also raise concerns about cost, availability, and how these efficiency-focused tires balance performance factors like grip and longevity. So what does it actually mean for drivers? Fewer options, more regulation—and a lot of unanswered questions about how it'll play out in the real world. We break it all down, what's fact vs. speculation, and whether this is a meaningful step forward… or just another case of California virtue signaling with no actual beneficial impact.

In this message, Useful and Less Valuable (Useless)Things: Pleasing God and Doing It Right, Pastor Nana Boadum challenges us to examine our lives through God's perspective rather than the approval of people. Drawing from Scripture, we explore the difference between what seems valuable to man and what truly pleases God. We are reminded that obedience is more than good intentions—it requires prompt action, wholehearted commitment, and perseverance. Through the examples of the two sons and King Joash, we learn the danger of delayed obedience and stopping too soon. Above all, we discover that even our greatest acts of service and sacrifice mean nothing if they are not motivated by love for God. This message calls us to obey, go the extra mile, and do all things in love as we seek to honor God in every area of life.
Pastor Ethan continues our series, Undivided, in the letter of James with a message on active and living faith.

The CLARITY Act, which is still walking a tightrope, has yet to make it to the president's desk. Even though Trump has repeatedly called for the Senate to approve the CLARITY Act, the process is being slowed down by a number of amendments. The approval odds for the CLARITY Act were at 56% at the time of publication, indicating that even the public is not as hopeful about its approval. ~This episode is sponsored by Tangem~ Tangem ➜ https://bit.ly/TangemPBN Use Code: "PBN" for Additional Discounts! 00:10 Sponsor: Tangem 00:40 Robinhood agentic trading 01:00 Gold Card AI Agents 02:00 Ethereum to Amazon 02:45 Stablecoins will impact yield curve 03:10 Cathie Wild ass shit 03:45 Raoul Pal: Idiot Wisdom 05:00 CLARITY is King - one year of uncertainty 06:00 Internet Laws in 90's 06:30 U.S. Government Crypto Guidance in 2000's 07:00 EU Mica CLARITY Rally #Crypto #bitcoin #Ethereum ~It's CLARITY Stupid!

In this episode, David Torres and Jessica Atkinson sit down with Kevin Lopez to unpack the gap between clinical education and real-world dental hygiene practice. Kevin shares honest insights from his experience, highlighting what truly matters once you step outside the classroom and into patient care. What We Talked About: Why disclosing is non-negotiable in dental hygiene practice and its impact on patient outcomes Understanding vitals, liability, and staying within your scope of practice The realities of transitioning from clinic to real-world settings Why you don't need a 4.0 GPA to become a skilled and effective clinician Key Takeaways: Clinical training lays the foundation, but real growth happens when hygienists apply those skills in practice. Prioritizing patient education tools like disclosing, understanding legal responsibilities, and building confidence matter more than perfection in academics. Call to Action: Stay committed to improving your clinical skills and understanding your professional responsibilities. Focus on delivering quality patient care, continue learning beyond graduation, and connect with professionals who can help guide your journey.

I wonder if it's time to ask the question – is Chlöe Swarbrick a bit useless? In the Herald's vast poll churn that produces the chances of the current Government being re-elected at about 88%, is the real revelation that the Greens have been going backwards since the last election? The trouble appears twofold; 1) The falls have been slow. Almost so small and slow you most probably didn't notice them. 2) Chlöe is a media favourite, so no one is really scrutinising her as to whether she's any good. Now, yes, Marama Davidson is a leader as well and I suppose you can blame her as much as you can Chlöe. But to my eye and mind it's Chlöe who is the head leader, despite their best PC intentions to spread the load, or blame. She is also not in Government, so you tend to get, if not a free ride, certainly an easier one. Now obviously I'm not a Green voter so none of this personally matters to me. But I'm all about continual improvement and the Greens are not on a path of any such thing. Under Swarbrick they have drifted. They have not grown. They are not the environmental party they once were under Fitzsimons or Donald. They are essentially angry socialists who campaign for the homeless and downtrodden. They are virtue signallers. She came to prominence because she was young. She was possibly seen as the future. To give her her dues, she has run a good ground game in Auckland Central and won her electorate and that may be her strength – a good local MP. Because she is not a good leader. If the Greens are to excel, they need to be better managed. Obviously, the Tana, Doyle, Kerekere, and Ghahraman shambles adds to the sense the place is a mess. But it's all unfolded under Swarbrick. The good news is if they want to recognise it, they can fix it. Certainly if this had all played out as part of a coalition you would have thought she would have been ejected a long time back. Saving her partially of course is the lack of talent behind her. Do you honestly see Genter or Menendez-March as saviours, or yet more of the same ill-disciplined verbal rabble? When you pare it back, look at the noise versus the outcomes and include the inescapable numbers, she has failed as a leader. So is she a bit useless? Yes.

Preaching from the book of Philemon, Prof Byron Klaus reminds us that the Gospel is a living drama that transforms people, relationships, and communities. Through Onesimus, a runaway slave who encountered Christ, we see the power of salvation to restore dignity, redeem brokenness, and rewrite a life's story. Once considered “useless”, he was redeemed, called “useful”, and became a beloved brother, later a leader in the early Church.In Christ, lives can be made new by the power of the Holy Spirit!
The fastest way to reveal someone's personality is to hand them a microphone, a score sheet, and a stack of “useless trivia” questions. We kick things off with our signature chaos, then launch into a wife vs ex-wife vs Kenny Farmer showdown where the facts get weird fast. Think Navy-trained dolphins, cookie history, cartoon name reveals, and the kind of Disney trivia that turns into high-stakes bargaining. The score changes, the rules bend, and somehow the banter gets even louder than the answers. But we don't stop at laughs. We pivot into "Relationship Advice With Ams And Jams", where real listener letters force real relationship skills: how to ask your spouse for more creativity in the bedroom without making them feel pressured or “not enough”, how to bring up a boyfriend's dog whose farts are ruining date night without starting a fight, and what to do when a brother-in-law crosses a line and the fallout could hit the whole family. It's messy, honest, and focused on what actually helps: clear language, firm boundaries, and not turning discomfort into drama. If you love a funny podcast with sharp chemistry, relationship advice you can actually use, and the kind of marriage communication talk that sounds like real people, you're in the right place.

Send me a text! I'd LOVE to hear your feedback on this episode!You've probably been told your appendix and tonsils are basically optional. I don't buy that — and the research backs me up.In this episode I break down the full story on two of the most dismissed organs in the body. What they actually do, why they matter more than you've been told, what drives removal, and what can shift afterward — plus how to support yourself whether you still have them or not.Your appendix is an active microbiome reservoir that helps reseed your gut after illness, infection, or antibiotics, and plays a direct role in IgA immune regulation. Your tonsils are your immune system's first line of defense — tied to your oral microbiome, lymphatic drainage, airway mechanics, and vagus nerve tone. These are not evolutionary leftovers. They are functional, living parts of systems your body depends on daily.I cover what actually drives appendicitis and tonsil failure, the connection to dysbiosis and chronic inflammation, and what people notice after removal — gut reactivity, anxiety, shifted gut-brain signaling, and immune changes. I also walk through the practical tools that support your body on both sides — fibre, prebiotics, polyphenols, gut barrier support, warm salt water gargling, nasal breathing, tongue posture, anti-inflammatory nutrition, hydration, and nervous system regulation.I also explore the somatic and energetic layer — safety and intuition with the appendix, and voice, truth, and boundaries with the tonsils. Science and soul, together.This is Part 2 of 2. Part 1 covers the gallbladder and uterus — two more organs dismissed as optional that your body would strongly disagree with.

WhoDan Skelton, President and Chief Operating Officer of Blue Mountain, OntarioRecorded onJune 26, 2025About Blue Mountain, OntarioClick here for a mountain stats overviewOwned by: Alterra Mountain CompanyLocated in: The Blue Mountains, Ontario, CanadaYear founded: 1941Pass affiliations: Unlimited on Ikon and Ikon BaseBase elevation: 229 feet/750 metersSummit elevation: 1,480 feet/451 metersVertical drop: 730 feet/223 metersSkiable acres: 364 acres/147 hectaresAverage annual snowfall: 154 inches/391 centimetersTrail count: 43Lift count: 11 (5 six-packs, 1 fixed-grip quad, 1 triple, 4 carpets – view Lift Blog's inventory of Blue Mountain, Ontario's lift fleet)Why I interviewed him: A Very Dumb Story About a Very Dumb Person, Volume IIn the winter of 1995-96, I developed Vertical Fever, a syndrome in which the afflicted believes, in a way that is beyond reason and immune from contrary arguments, that the skiing will be better if the ski hill is taller.This was a problem. Because in 1995, I lived, as I had all my life up to that point, in Michigan. Specifically, Sanford, a flat town in a flat county in what may be the flattest region of the country, the Tri-Cities area of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Fortunately for a skier, Michigan is cold and full of ski areas. Unfortunately, these ski areas are small or short or both. The tallest of the 33 ski areas inventoried on the 1995 Michigan Downhill Skiing Guide is Boyne Highlands, which then and today promotes a probably made-up vertical drop of 550 feet. Right across the street was 427-vertical-foot Nub's Nob, one of six Lower Peninsula ski areas to exceed 400 vertical, along with Caberfae (485 feet), Shanty Creek Schuss Mountain (450 feet), Sugar Loaf (500 feet), and Boyne Mountain (495 feet).I'd skied all of these and I'd skied them all many times since my first real ski season, which was the previous winter, 1994-95. But once I'd stopped summersaulting down the hill and learned to carve and to land jumps, I grew bored. Skiing in 1995 was not like skiing in 2026. Terrain parks were rare and, anyway, off limits to skiers. Jumping was forbidden. There were signs all over saying so. Everything was groomed and everything was about carving turns, even though grooming was inconsistent and the shaped skis that would transform the average skier into a carver were years away from mass market distribution.So I scoured maps and guidebooks for ski areas of any size in any direction that I could reasonably drive to. To the south lay Ohio and Indiana. Useless. To the north, at the far western end of the Upper Peninsula, lay several 600-ish footers (Mount Bohemia did not open until 2000), but Michigan is a deceptively large state made larger by the inconvenience of driving around gigantic lakes – those UP ski areas were 10 hours away. But also to the north, east instead of west and just over the Canadian border, lay Searchmont: 750 vertical feet of ungladed bananas skiing, with little cliffs and rocks and glades all over. It was a glorious real-life validation of the less-stuffy Canadian ski-area management culture that I'd read about in Skiing and Powder. And it was only a four-hour drive each way, an easy daytrip on the cruise-control-empty interstates of northern Michigan. This is what a Canadian 700-plus-footer is like, I decided, and I searched for more of them.That's when I became obsessed with Blue Mountain, this mysterious guidebook mapdot floating south of Lake Huron. Stat-line, as listed in contemporary guide books: 720 vertical feet, 13 chairlifts and two T-bars, 920 skiable acres (this was, um, not accurate). A Midwest hack, a backdoor to a secret mini-New England unknown to Michiganders. As with Searchmont, I would rise at 4 and arrive by lifts-on and soar all day among the woodsy wide-open drop-step terrain of Ontario yahoo skiing.Yeah it didn't work out like that. The first time I tried to drive to Blue Mountain, I wound up at Mount Brighton, 273 miles away in Southeast Michigan. A blizzard had forced course correction to a more achievable destination. But the second time, I made it. Here's how it went, per a journal entry I wrote few days later:Monday, March 25th, 1996 – 11:53 p.m.Let's just call Friday the day that didn't quite flow. In fact, it didn't flow like no day on skis ever hasn't. First off, I only slept four hours. Normally , I wouldn't give a f**k, but that was directly following three hours the night before, which didn't help my status in an already exhausting week. Then there was the drive. I figured four, maybe five hours at the most, 250 miles, give or take. Wrong. I only realized this somewhere well over the Canadian border. Six hours, 350 miles. Then there's the mountain.I knew Blue was big, but I was not, I'll admit, in any way, shape, or form prepared for what I found Friday. The place is enormous by Midwest standards, though not as mammoth as I'd originally thought coming up the road, scoping out the two private resorts. Notice I said “enormous,” not necessarily “good.” Which is sad, cause, for one thing, they're trying pretty hard to make a good hill, and, #2, I drove a long f****n' way to get there. The whole thing bore a striking resemblance to western skiing – enormous base lodges, hugely wide runs, high-speed chairs. Which I suppose makes it ideal for families. Then there's the fifty miles or so of safety fence, zero ungroomed runs, and as many jumps as a Fat Albert convention. This, I surmise, makes it extremely unideal for Stuarts. In fact, I really didn't enjoy it at all. It was bland, repetitive, and almost sickening in its nature. I was tired, pissed, and lonely. The highlight of the day was jumping off the cornice which was the subject of much inner conflict. But I did it, and I'm glad, and then I drove home, and I'm glad for that too.I only skied four-and-a-half hours. My ticket was good til' ten, but I considered a lot of things. For starters, it only cost me twenty bucks; second, I told Clint I was gonna make it a point to get out of there by four [to hang out], so I sorta tried; third, I'd skied the whole f****n' place anyhow, and I really didn't feel like getting home at four AM. It's not like I didn't ski well, cause I was actually carving and reacting magnificently (to the terrain, not the carving). I was fluid, but I needed more variety, and they just didn't deliver.It would have been nice to have the internet in 1996 (it existed, but almost no one used it, partly because there was almost nothing on it, including driving directions, maps, or trailmaps).Great endorsement of Blue Mountain, Stu. You managed to convince people not to go and make the people who do ski there feel bad about it all at once. Slow clap for aggressive transparency.But my message here is hardly “Blue Mountain sucks don't go.” Blue Mountain is, as it was 30 years ago, exactly what it needs to be: a rapid-fire lap machine optimized to provide a consistent ski experience to the residents of Canada's densest metro area, Toronto. Blue is, historically and probably still, the third-busiest ski area in Canada after Tremblant and Whistler. It is a low-altitude, variable-weather, high-volume business tasked with the twin burdens of being the sole public outpost for recreational skiing in a ridgeline of upscale private clubs and being a profitable enterprise. It is, from a dollar-generating and Ikon Pass-dispersal-to-the-West point of view, probably one of Alterra's most important ski areas.The problem, then, is not that every ski area isn't like Searchmont. The problem is that, in 1996, I thought every ski area should be like Searchmont. It was like walking into a pizza parlor and complaining that they didn't sell tacos. I was young and dumb, and it didn't occur to me until arrival that a 700-ish-vertical-foot ski area dangling off the far eastern end of the Lake Superior wilderness (Searchmont), would, by custom and by necessity, offer a far different ski experience than a 700-ish-vertical-foot satellite orbiting metro Toronto (Blue). I thought every ski area should be for me and for people like me, like the people I read about in ski magazines who toured B.C. in rusty pickup trucks and never took bathroom breaks and who viewed skiing as a constant level-up challenge.Thirty years later, I view Blue Mountain differently, for two reasons. The first is that I'm sure that Blue, like nearly all North American ski areas, is a more interesting mountain in 2026 than it was in 1996. Freeski culture and snowboarding really did loosen up skiing's stodgier tendencies, most visibly with the widespread building of come-one-come-all terrain parks. The second is that I no longer approach ski areas by asking if they are the best possible experience for me, but if they are the best possible version of themselves for the demographic of skiers who are most likely to ski there. And with Blue – which I will admit, I never visited again - the answer appears to be, always and ever upward, yes.What we talked aboutOh Ontario; being a Canadian ski area owned by a U.S. company; “one of the beauties of being part of Alterra is our emphasis on honoring and preserving the uniqueness of each resort and each mountain community”; Blue Mountain's Reserve Pass; fixing up Blue's disordered lift mazes; growing up at the base of Blue Mountain; the amazing evolution of ski area technology; Blue's wacky, charismatic founder; preserving the mountain's independent character after it's been absorbed by a conglomerate; Blue in the ‘70s; building Blue's snowmaking system; big leaps forward in snowmaking during the 1990s; the rise of HKD; Alterra's point of view on snowmaking; the hit-or-miss Lake Huron and Georgian Bay lake-effect snowbelts; snowmaking in the era of climate change; how snow-depth technology impacts snowmaking volumes; living through the transition from independence to Intrawest and ultimately to Alterra; how the village transformed Blue; “we come to the table scrappy, inventive, entrepreneurial” to this company of mega-resort destinations; the impact of the Ikon Pass; Blue's amazing lift fleet and how the six-pack became the mountain's workhorse; building chairlifts in-house; 15,000 skiers on Blue's busiest days; “we're not going to cut any new trails, so we gotta squeeze every little bit out and make sure we have a balanced experience”; whether Blue could upgrade to an eight-place lift; operating as the only substantial public ski area amid a huge number of private ski areas; and Blue's history owning and operating the neighboring Georgian Peaks ski area.What I got wrongI mentioned that HKD President Charles Santry had told the same side of a story that Skelton shared on a previous podcast recording, which he had. The problem is that as of now, I still haven't released that pod with Santry.

An adult human liver is about the size of a small football. It weighs about three pounds, making it the body's largest internal organ. Tucked neatly beneath the ribs, your liver performs more than 500 different tasks. It is a vital link between your heart, lungs, and digestive system.Inside the liver is a bewildering array of microscopic veins in which each drop of blood is processed. Here, blood conditions are constantly monitored to make sure that its chemistry meets strict standards. If more of some substances are needed in the blood, they are supplied. Useless chemicals are broken down into useful chemicals. Your liver makes proteins, and corrects blood clotting factors. Your liver also sees to it that hormone balances are maintained and that poisons are neutralized. If substances are needed to fight an infection, your liver makes them and adds them to the bloodstream. Your liver also stores vitamins and minerals and prepares itself to provide your body with quick energy when you need it. In addition, the liver makes bile, which is essential for digestion.Structures like the liver have caused many evolutionists to abandon the idea that life is a result of millions of years of accidents. The liver is just too well-designed and integrated into the body to have been produced by purposelessness and mindlessness. As Scripture says, truly God has formed our inward parts!Psalm 139:13“For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.”Prayer: I thank You, dear Father, that I am so fearfully and wonderfully made. Help me to take good care of the wondrous body You have given me and grant me good health. In Jesus' Name. Amen.REF.: The liver: the body's refinery. Discover.

Sabine Hossenfelder says quantum computers are only useful for breaking codes. She's wrong — and my undergraduates are building the proof. What's happening in my lab right now has nothing to do with cryptography, and everything to do with the future of AI. I'm a cosmologist at UC San Diego teaching undergraduates to build, program, and eventually launch quantum computers — possibly to the Moon via Artemis! We cover: why Sabine's code-breaking verdict misses the real story, how free tools like Quantum Rings are closing the education gap Sabine thinks is a hardware problem, why Q-Day just got moved up to 2029, what my students are actually doing with quantum computers in my lab, and why the next generation of quantum physicists won't need a billion-dollar facility to train. The bottleneck isn't the hardware. It's what we're teaching — and who we're teaching it to.

Everyone tends to fall into one of two patterns: thinking or doing. In this conversation, Pat Lencioni explores the tension between visionaries and doers and why some people generate ideas but struggle to act, while others execute but lack direction. More importantly, he breaks down why real progress requires both. This isn't just about business, but it's about how we all approach work, goals, and life. Why do we get stuck even when we know what to do? And what actually helps us move forward? We hope you enjoy this one with Pat Lencioni and make sure to check out his books!

Jackie Fabulous pulls up to Lip Service and brings nothing but real-life stories, unfiltered opinions, and relationship chaos. She opens up about life after divorce, including the moment she got a “you up?” email from her ex—and how things really went down once the marriage ended. From getting a divorce quote to navigating dating again, Jackie keeps it honest about what it’s like starting over. The conversation quickly turns wild as the group dives into sneaky links, relationship annoyances, and the kinds of breakups people don’t always admit out loud. Jackie shares stories about dating someone who looked good but brought nothing else to the table, while the room debates what actually matters in a partner. Things only get crazier with unexpected confessions, including getting caught in a situation you definitely don’t want to walk in on, and stories that push the boundaries of what people are willing to admit on camera.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
