Rebecca Zahau menehtyi kuuluisalla Spreckles-kartanolla Coronadossa Yhdysvalloissa vuonna 2011. Vain pari päivää aikaisemmin Rebeccan miesystävän 6-vuotias poika Max oli joutunut samassa kartanossa vakavaan onnettomuuteen Rebeccan vahtivuorolla. Rebeccan kuolinsyyksi todettiin nopeasti itsemurha, mutta jutun outojen yksityiskohtien takia kaikki eivät ole nielleet virallista selitystä. * Tiedäthän, että tämä kuuntelemasi jakso on podcastin aiempaa tuotantoa.

Dr. Jack Trieber preached a message entitled “Running Your Race in Vain" during the Sunday Morning service on February 15, 2026, at North Valley Baptist Church in Santa Clara, California. View Archived Services at nvbc.org.

For two reasons Paul is confident his work among the Thessalonians was not in vain. Firstly, there was visible evidence of the work of God in their lives. Secondly, and most significantly, they were chosen and loved by God, just as Paul, Silas and Timothy were. The first is the fruit and evidence of the second. For those in Christ, we too can just as sure and certain that our labours in life and faith are not in vain, for we too have been chosen and loved by God. Take a moment to look and see the work of God in your own life and give thanks to him for his grace and love towards you.

This message on the Third Commandment shows that taking God’s Name in vain is about more than careless speech—it’s about how we represent the God we belong to. Because His Name reveals His character and authority, we bear it in our words, worship, and daily lives. Through Jesus, who perfectly honored the Father’s Name, we are empowered to live reverently and reflect the One whose Name is above every name

(This podcast was previously published on April 11, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   A woman used to visit with me and speak all manner of secular things which were not in the Bible.   After she spoke, I would explain to her:  "What you just said is not in the Bible.  I want to build my house on the word of God."   Then she would grow very silent for awhile.   Later she would visit me again, and again speak another worldly saying, a vain babbling.  And again, I would tell her what she just said to me is not in the Bible and the Bible is true and what I want to build on.   Philippians 2:13-16   For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of HIS good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings:  That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;   Holding forth the word of life;   I didn't have to argue or dispute.  I just told her what she said was not in the Bible and that I wanted to build my thinking on that which is in the Bible.   II Timothy 2:16-17 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.  And their word will eat as doth a canker:   When we speak the word of God, we present the antidote to the poisonous sayings of this world.

À la Une de la presse ce jeudi 12 février, la publication du livre-témoignage de Gisèle Pélicot, devenue une figure de la lutte contre les violences faites aux femmes depuis son refus du huis clos au procès des viols de Mazan. La présentation, aujourd'hui, par le gouvernement, de la nouvelle loi de programmation de l'énergie. Un sujet qui fait débat en France, en Europe, mais plus aux États-Unis. Et un entraîneur aux multiples casquettes (ou plutôt vestes).

Stāsta Dzīvā muzeja "Senās Kuldīgas stāsts" gide Inga Spēkaine; pārraides producente - Dina Dūdiņa-Kurmiņa Kuldīgas ģerbonī attēlotā sieviete ir mocekle Svētā Katrīna ar mocekļa kroni galvā, stilizētu moku ratu un lūgšanas krellītēm (rožukroni) labajā rokā un zobenu – kreisajā rokā. Svētā Katrīna ir Kuldīgas pilsētas aizgādne. Nostāsti vēsta, ka viduslaikos viņa bijusi viena no pilsētas iedzīvotājām. Kādu nakti meitene redzējusi sapni, ka viņai Kuldīgā jāuzbūvē baznīca. Meitene aicinājumu uztvērusi nopietni, čakli strādājusi un, kad nauda bija nopelnīt, devusies pie pilsētas valdniekiem un atklājusi savu vēlmi. Viņi par tādu uzdrošināšanos kļuvuši nikni un nolēmuši sodīt Katrīnu ar nāvi. Nostāsti ir dažādi. Vieni vēsta, ka meitene tikai sarauta gabalos uz moku rata, citi – ka Katrīna, gluži tāpat kā daudzas gudras viduslaiku sievietes, nosaukta par raganu un sadedzināta sārtā. Līdzīgs stāsts ir par Aleksandrijas Katrīnu. Absolūtas patiesības – vai arī Kuldīgā reiz dzīvojusi meitene, kas par savu aicinājumu uzskatīja baznīcas celšanu, vai arī tas ir viens no klejojošajiem stāstiem, kuru uz Kuldīgu atvedis un iedzīvinājis kāds no daudzajiem svešzemju ceļotājiem –, nav. Zināms, ka pēc nāves Katrīna atzīta par nevainīgu, iecelta svēto kārtā, un viņai par godu nosaukta dažus gadsimtus vēlāk uzceltā baznīca. Šodien Svētā Katrīna ir viens no Kuldīgas simboliem. Viņas vārdā nosauktais dievnams ir pelēcīgi dzeltenā krāsā, jo pirmā pasaules kara laikā, vēlēdamies pasargāt baznīcu uzlidojumu laikā, kuldīdznieki ēku esot nokrāsojuši ar kvēpiem. Vēlāk gan viņi centušies baznīcu atkal nomazgāt, bet tas īsti neesot izdevies. Tā nu sārmaino pelnu klātās sienas joprojām atgrūž krāsu. Kuldīgā dažāda veida sodi tikai izpildīti Rātslaukumā, kas savu atrašanās vietu nav mainījis. Pirmdienās tas pārvērtās par tirgus laukumu. Līdzās preču tirdzniecībai un maiņai tur notika nepaklausīgo kuldīdznieku sodīšana. Populārs bija kauna stabs jeb sieksta, kurā vispirms nelaimīgo ieslēdza, bet pēc tam pēra ar pletnēm un ķēdēm, nomētāja ar akmeņiem. Vainīgos, tostarp par raganām uzskatītās jaunās, skaistās meitenes, dažkārt ieslodzīja zem Rātsnama esošajā cietumā. Tagad tur atrodas kuldīdznieku un pilsētas viesu iecienīta kafejnīca... Pilsētniekus, kuri nevēlējās strādāt, ievietoja sodu jeb sliņķu kastē. Ja kapracis vai baņķieris naktī bija aizsēdējušies krogā un no rīta nevarēja aiziet uz darbu, viņiem nācās sēdēt sliņķu kastē, bet pārējie pilsētnieki viņus aplēja ar dubļiem un citādi apsmēja. Vispopulārākais soda veids, kuru skatījās kā izrādi, bija pakāršana. To varēja izpelnīties par dažādiem pārkāpumiem un pamatīga izmeklēšana tolaik netika veikta. Tā kā augstmaņiem un aristokrātiem šķita, ka pakāršana izskatās neglīti, viņu sodīšanai izmantoja sudraba zobenu. Neviens no šiem sodīšanas veidiem gan neesot attiecies uz sievietēm – viņas parasti sadedzināja sārtā, lai pēc tam nepaliek grēcīga miesa.  

Former champion jockey Wayne Harris speaks glowingly of his former “stablemate” Neil Rae. Both were apprenticed to the late Pat Farrell, and while Harris concentrated on metropolitan racing for most of his career Rae opted to stay in the Hunter region where he enjoyed a productive 23 years-  productive enough to give him a total of 8 Hunter and North West riding premierships. Wayne Harris suggested I call the former lightweight jockey and talk to him about a possible podcast. A little reluctant at first, Neil finally agreed to join us for a chat about a career that brought him a very impressive 1370 wins. He begins by talking about the excavators and compactors he operates for the Lake Macquarie City Council. Always a natural lightweight, Neil says he's still pretty fit.  Rae was given a nickname by workmates very early in his career. He says it's still widely used by racing people. Neil talks about a racing accident at Gosford that left him with a  shocking ankle injury. He talks about a short lived comeback. He was delighted to ride a winner on his final day in the saddle. Neil talks about early days in Newcastle and his intense dislike of school. He talks of his first experience in a racing stable followed by his indentureship to the late Pat Farrell. The retired jockey clearly remembers his first race ride at Muswellbrook, and the thrill of his first win just a few weeks later. He actually landed a double on the day. Neil remembers his first provincial and metropolitan wins on the same horse. He recalls being driven to the races by Wayne Harris on the occasion of his first city win, little realising he'd later buy the car in question. He talks about the valuable tutelage he received from Harris, one of the greatest riders of his generation. Neil talks affectionately of Irish Flyer, perhaps the most important horse in his early career. He remembers the brilliant but headstrong Proud Knight. The son of Vain had enormous ability but often refused to race tractably around the turns. There was one unforgettable occasion at Randwick when Proud Knight's gate opened prematurely. Neil says his tendency to try too hard early in his career resulted in many suspensions. He talks of successful associations with leading Newcastle trainers like Paul Perry, Max Lees and later Kris Lees.   Neil says his ability to ride at a featherweight sometimes cost him rides.  He looks back on his eight riding premierships, three of them as an apprentice.  Neil says he was thrilled to be invited to ride two former champion racehorses in exhibition gallops. One was a legend, the other a dominant two year old in the early 80's.  Neil had only a handful of Gr 1 rides. He was pretty chuffed to ride the third placegetter in the 1989 Sydney Cup.  He says the race was run under deplorable conditions. He talks about fatherhood and the inevitable progression to grandfatherhood. Neil Rae is well remembered as a jockey of unwavering work ethic. His career win tally of 1370 tells the story. Great to have him on the podcast.

2/6/2026 | This day's featured sermon on SermonAudio: Title: Why Is Taking God's Name In Vain So Serious? Speaker: Rev. Joshua Engelsma Broadcaster: Crete Protestant Reformed Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 11/10/2024 Bible: Psalm 8 Length: 47 min.

Spring 2026 - 2/4/26Week 4 of "Ecclesiastes: Seeing Good" sermon series.

In this Bible study, Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the harmony of the Gospels by examining Jesus' teachings on vain worship and the feeding of the 4,000. He discusses Christ's critique of the Pharisees, who prioritized human traditions over God's commandments, highlighting the belief that true defilement comes from the heart, not external rituals. Fr. Matthias explains the significance of the encounter with the Syro-Phoenician woman, illustrating faith and perseverance beyond ethnic boundaries. He also covers Jesus' healing miracles among Gentiles, emphasizing the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies through these acts. The lesson includes a detailed look at the second feeding miracle, drawing parallels with the feeding of the 5,000 to show God's compassion and provision. Finally, Fr. Matthias addresses the Pharisees and Sadducees' demand for signs and Jesus' response about the sign of Jonah's resurrection, calling attention to spiritual blindness and the difficulty some had recognizing the Messiah.

This sermon on the third commandment lists eight negative violations to avoid. and positively calls us to declare and praise the exalted name of Jesus, perform all good works in his name, and suffer well for his sake. The context of grace reminds us not to despair over failure but to rest in Christ’s mercy, which itself glorifies his name as he saves and transforms unworthy sinners.

Tässä marraskuisessa jaksossa vieraana on Maailmanpuu podcastin Miska ja Matti. Aloitimme keskustelun Sipoonjoen varrella sään puinnilla, eli aiheella, jota Pentti Linkola piti kaikista tärkeimpänä puheenaiheena. Vain kaupunkilaiset, hän sanoi, pitävät säätä yhdentekevänä. Mutta mikä tässä porukassa oikeasti pitää lämpimänä, on huumori. Keskustelumme kääntyykin pian siihen, mikä meitä naurattaa, ja myös siihen, miksi marraskuussa ei oikein naurata. Pohdimme myös luottamusta ja maailmalle avautumista. Miten sisäinen maailmamme näyttäytyy eri vuodenaikoina? Entä mikä naurattaa kaikkialla maailmassa huolimatta ajasta tai paikasta? Ja miksi se on (tai ei ole) pieruvitsit?

The Daisies discuss episodes 8 & 9 of The Traitors UK (series 4). They chat about Stephen's big week (and his fabulous sense of style) and whether his strategic moves have been genius or foolish.

There are instances when a moment is enhanced by the situation and even more so, sometimes sports become more than sports. Alex has been in his feelings over a recent sporting event, but to an even further extent, the why. At the end of the day, this stuff does matter. Not only did the result of the game not go his way, but the grandstanding that happened afterwards has taken the world by storm. Positivity has somehow become a controversy.

Preached Sunday Night, 1-11-26

Scripture repeatedly warns that not everything labeled “worship” is accepted by God. From empty rituals to mindless prayers and man-made traditions, God exposes practices that appear spiritual yet are ultimately vain. In this episode, we examine what God Himself calls meaningless—and why sincerity, truth, and obedience matter more than repetition, form, or appearance. True worship is not about outward performance but inward submission to God's Word.

The Meaning of the Holy Name of Jesus and why we celebrate it as a Feast on January 3. In this easy-to-understand talk, Fr. Chris Alar explains the symbols of Jesus' name, like IHS, and why using God's name in vain is much more than simply swearing.  

 Is Your Living In Vain?

Dave Brisbin 12.28.25 Before he sails off to the Trojan war, Thetis tells her son Achilles that if he stays home, he will find peace. Will marry a wonderful woman and have children and grandchildren who will love him and remember his name. But when they are all dead, his name will be forgotten. If he goes to Troy, he will find such glory that his name will never be forgotten. But he will not come back, and his mother will never see him again. Obviously, he went or we wouldn't be talking about him. The world remembers those who do great things, leave a legacy of spectacularly big things. But such legacies always come at a price. Did Achilles make the right choice? Is the building of a legacy that lives beyond the generations we actually touch more important than what happens within them? Such choices are not binary, of course. If we're consciously careful, we can have at least some elements of both. But where do we find real meaning in life? If all our focus is on not yet, imaginings of a great legacy, Solomon, traditional writer of Ecclesiastes has a Hebrew word for all our efforts: hevel. Vain, futile, meaningless, of no purpose or profit…chasing after the wind. After acquiring and accomplishing everything possible in a human lifetime, he writes, Meaningless! Everything is meaningless. Generations come and generations go…no one remembers the people of old, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them. Sounds brutally depressing. Sounds like giving up, but it's not. It's redirection. Where do we find real meaning? In a legacy the world remembers even as we, the builders, are forgotten? Something more immediate? The question places us right at the crux of life. Solomon realizes that there is nothing better than for us to be glad and do good while life is in us, take our food and drink and have joy in our work. He's saying all that matters is contained in this moment and nowhere else. Even if we work to build a lasting legacy, if we're immersed in the joy of the work itself and those with us, we find meaning. Because in the end, the only legacy that matters is a legacy of little things.

Advent // Love John 3:16-17 (NIV)“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Welcome to an extraordinary edition of the Takin’ A Walk podcast from Buzz Knight music and the “Master of Music Mayhem,” Harry Jacobs. This comprehensive look at weekly music history explores one of the most emotionally complex weeks in rock and roll history, spanning December 8th through December 14th. From tragic losses to groundbreaking debuts, this week encompasses the full spectrum of music history’s most pivotal moments. John Lennon’s Assassination: December 8, 1980 - A Day That Changed Music Forever The episode opens with perhaps the darkest day in rock music history: December 8, 1980, when John Lennon was shot and killed outside The Dakota apartment building in New York City. Buzz Knight and Harry Jacobs provide intimate personal recollections of this Beatles tragedy that shocked the world. For listeners of this weekly music history episode note the Buzz Knight music podcast replay of "Takin A Walk" with the incredible Julian Lennon. The Beatles Reunion: Free as a Bird and the Anthology Era Moving from tragedy to reunion, the episode explores December 9, 1995, when the Beatles released “Free as a Bird”—the first new Beatles music in 24 years. Both hosts were working together at WZLX in Boston during this momentous release, bringing their firsthand perspective to this Beatles reunion moment. The track, built around a John Lennon demo with contributions from Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, represented a technological and emotional achievement in music history. Harry admits his initial underwhelm with the track, noting that while “Free as a Bird” generated enormous curiosity worldwide, it never achieved the status of Beatles classics like “Ticket to Ride,” “Help!,” or songs from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The honest assessment reflects how even beloved artists can struggle to recapture past magic, and both hosts acknowledge they haven’t revisited the song since its release. This candid discussion provides valuable context for understanding fan expectations versus artistic reality in music reunion projects. The Blues Brothers Phenomenon: From Saturday Night Live to Cultural Institution December 9, 1978 marks the Saturday Night Live debut of the Blues Brothers, a moment that transformed comedy sketch into legitimate musical force. The episode provides deep insights into how Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi created this blues and R&B supergroup, enlisting Paul Shaffer, Lou Marini, Duck Dunn, and Steve Cropper, who just passed away—the latter two being legendary members of Booker T. and the MGs and key figures in the Stax Records sound that defined Memphis soul music and produced classics like “Soul Man” and “Green Onions.” Howard Shore, who served as Saturday Night Live’s musical director, recognized the potential in Aykroyd and Belushi’s blues performances and helped facilitate their transition from comedy bit to recording artists. The hosts discuss how this comedy-music crossover assembled world-class musicians around a satirical concept that became genuinely respected in the music community. The Blues Brothers represented a unique fusion of comedy and music that introduced younger audiences to blues legends and R&B classics. The conversation explores Tom “Bones” Malone, a guest on Buzz’s podcast, who joined the Blues Brothers band and played trombone with Blood, Sweat & Tears before becoming part of the SNL band. The episode details the evolution of the band from initial concept to full touring and recording entity, with Buzz noting the impressive live performances featuring the Blues Brothers’ acrobatic stage show, where the larger-than-life Belushi performed cartwheels, splits, and handstands that would later inspire Chris Farley’s physical comedy style. The Blues Brothers soundtrack, featuring “Briefcase Full of Blues” and subsequent albums, has “stood the test of time” according to both hosts. Songs like “Rubber Biscuit,” performed with Matt “Guitar” Murphy, and the memorable Aretha Franklin diner scene where Jake orders “four fried chickens and a Coke,” remain embedded in popular culture. The authentic musicianship combined with comedic brilliance created something that transcended both genres, making the Blues Brothers a permanent fixture in American music history. Otis Redding’s Legacy and Tragic Death: December 10, 1967 The episode takes a somber turn with December 10, 1967, the day Otis Redding died in a plane crash near Madison, Wisconsin, along with members of the Bar-Kays. The timing of this tragedy magnifies its impact—Redding had recorded ”(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” just three days earlier, and the song hadn’t yet been released. The track became a posthumous number-one hit, cementing Redding’s status as one of soul music’s greatest artists, though he never lived to see its success. Wings Over America: McCartney’s Epic Live Album - December 10, 1976 December 10, 1976 brought the release of Wings Over America, Paul McCartney’s triple live album documenting his 1975-1976 tour with Wings. The episode explores the rarity of triple albums in music history, particularly live albums of such scope and ambition. The hosts discuss the bootleg album called “Wings from Wings” that allegedly forced McCartney’s hand, rushing the official release to market before bootleggers could dominate sales. Harry reveals the meticulous production process behind Wings Over America, noting that McCartney collected 8,000 hours of live recordings from the tour. The legendary Beatles bassist and singer then personally mixed the album, listening to five different versions of every song before selecting the best performances. The final album was crafted to sound like a single concert experience, though it actually represented the best moments culled from the entire tour—a production approach that set standards for live albums. The episode highlights how “Maybe I’m Amazed” from this album became the definitive version for many fans, surpassing even the studio recording in emotional power and musical execution. The album also featured several Beatles songs including “Yesterday” and “Bluebird,” allowing McCartney to honor his past while showcasing his post-Beatles work with Wings. This balance between Beatles nostalgia and new material demonstrated McCartney’s artistic evolution while satisfying longtime fans. Early Genesis and Progressive Rock Evolution December 11, 1972 saw Genesis release “Foxtrot,” their fifth studio album and a landmark in progressive rock history. The episode explores this Peter Gabriel-era Genesis and the band’s evolution through various lineups. Harry recalls “Watcher of the Skies” as a standout track, while both hosts discuss later Genesis classics like “The Carpet Crawlers” from “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.” The conversation reveals differing perspectives on Genesis eras, with Buzz preferring the Peter Gabriel period and later Phil Collins-fronted work, while Harry admits his fandom developed more during the “Trick of the Tail” era following Gabriel’s departure. This honest exchange reflects how progressive rock bands often created distinct identities across lineup changes, appealing to different audiences in different eras. Buzz shares a memorable concert experience seeing Genesis with double drumming featuring Phil Collins and Bill Bruford (renowned for his work with Yes and King Crimson). This unique configuration represented Genesis at a transitional moment, experimenting with expanded instrumentation before settling into the trio format that would define their later commercial success. The “Trick of the Tail” tour demonstrated the band’s ability to continue without their iconic frontman, eventually leading to Collins taking over lead vocals permanently. The episode takes an unexpected turn to December 12, 1901, when Guglielmo Marconi sent the first transatlantic radio signal from Cornwall to Newfoundland. This moment in broadcasting history laid the foundation for everything that followed, including the careers of Buzz and Harry as radio professionals. Harry jokes about Buzz working for Marconi in 1901, highlighting the self-deprecating humor that characterizes their chemistry while acknowledging that without Marconi’s invention, they would never have met or built careers in radio. This historical perspective reminds listeners that music distribution, radio broadcasting, and the entire infrastructure of modern music industry traces back to pioneering moments like Marconi’s transmission. The evolution of radio technology from those first signals to contemporary podcast production represents over a century of innovation that transformed how humans experience and share music globally. The Clash’s London Calling: Punk’s Masterpiece - December 14, 1979 December 14, 1979 saw the Clash release “London Calling” in the UK, a double album that transcended punk rock limitations to incorporate reggae, rockabilly, ska, and R&B influences. The hosts recall the album’s innovative approach, including the hidden track “Train in Vain,” which became a hit despite not being listed on the original album cover—a marketing trick that created mystique and rewarded attentive listeners.
