C dans l'air du 3 mars 2025 - Et maintenant Trump veut punir ZelenskyLe président ukrainien est plus que jamais dans le viseur de Washington, et le soutien européen réaffirmé ces dernières heures à Londres n'y a rien changé. Qualifié de dictateur, puis quasiment expulsé de la Maison-Blanche après la scène brutale dans le bureau ovale devant les caméras du monde entier, entre Volodymyr Zelensky, Donald Trump et JD Vance, les États-Unis font encore monter la pression sur le dirigeant ukrainien, laissant planer l'idée qu'il pourrait devoir quitter son poste."Nous avons besoin d'un dirigeant qui peut traiter avec nous, traiter avec les Russes à un moment et mettre fin à cette guerre", a déclaré le conseiller à la sécurité nationale du président Trump, Mike Waltz. "S'il devient évident que le président Zelensky, soit pour des motivations personnelles, soit politiques, diverge de la volonté de mettre fin aux combats dans son pays, alors je crois qu'on a un vrai problème", a-t-il ajouté, interrogé sur la chaîne CNN. Une position qui reprend celle défendue par le Kremlin depuis le début de l'invasion de l'Ukraine et qui a une nouvelle fois appelé ce lundi à "forcer" le dirigeant ukrainien à faire "la paix"."Me remplacer ne sera pas si facile", avait répondu dans la soirée Volodymyr Zelensky depuis Londres, où il a reçu le soutien de ses alliés européens. Rassemblés dans la capitale anglaise pour un sommet ce dimanche 2 mars, une quinzaine de chefs d'États européens ont rappelé qu'ils seraient aux côtés de Kiev "aussi longtemps qu'il le faudrait" et souhaitent infléchir la position américaine en proposant un plan de paix. Mais alors qu'Emmanuel Macron a développé dimanche soir dans la presse l'idée d'une trêve d'un mois en Ukraine, présentée comme une proposition franco-britannique, ce lundi, le Premier ministre Keir Starmer a affirmé qu'il n'y avait pas encore d'"accord" sur le sujet. "Plusieurs options sont sur la table, sous réserve de discussions plus approfondies avec les partenaires américains et européens, mais une trêve d'un mois n'a pas fait l'objet d'un accord", a également souligné un responsable du gouvernement britannique.Des dirigeants européens bien décidés, en revanche, à se réarmer face à la menace russe et au désengagement américain. L'Allemagne envisagerait d'investir dans la défense et les infrastructures plusieurs centaines de milliards d'euros, et son futur chancelier Friedrich Merz s'est dit prêt à parler de protection nucléaire avec Paris et Londres. Un plan global sera présenté lors d'un sommet européen ce jeudi. D'ici là, deux débats sans vote auront lieu aujourd'hui à l'Assemblée et au Sénat en France sur la situation en Ukraine, alors que le débat sur un parapluie nucléaire européen a été relancé depuis qu'Emmanuel Macron s'est dit prêt samedi à "ouvrir la discussion" sur le sujet.Mais pour la leader du Rassemblement national (RN), les États-Unis restent "évidemment" un allié de la France au sein de l'Otan (Organisation du traité de l'Atlantique nord). Ceux qui disent le contraire "ne sont pas des gens raisonnables", a affirmé Marine Le Pen, qui, dans son programme de 2022, défendait la sortie du commandement intégré de l'Otan et un rapprochement stratégique avec la Russie. Pour Marine Le Pen, la dissuasion nucléaire de la France doit rester "française". "On ne doit pas la partager", a-t-elle estimé, en minimisant la portée des échanges très tendus entre les présidents américain et ukrainien, la veille, dans le Bureau ovale. "C'est assez normal", a-t-elle jugé, parce que "le chemin de la paix est un chemin qui est difficile".Le ministre des Armées Sébastien Lecornu lui a répondu sur X que la dissuasion nucléaire "restera" française "de la conception et la production de nos armes jusqu'à leur mise en œuvre sur décision du président de la République", mais qu'en même temps, "nos intérêts vitaux comportent une 'dimension européenne'". Le ministre de l'Europe et des Affaires étrangères, Jean-Noël Barrot, a de son côté "mis en garde contre une ligne de front qui ne cesse de se rapprocher de nous".Autre sujet au centre des débats : la réponse européenne à la hausse des droits de douane annoncée par le président américain. Pour l'ancien chef d'État François Hollande, "face à ce qui est une offensive commerciale de Donald Trump, il va falloir être très ferme, très dur… " "Nous, les Européens – et les Français doivent être en première ligne – nous devons lui faire mal, très mal". Le député de Corrèze a estimé, par ailleurs, que "le peuple américain reste notre ami, mais lui n'est plus notre allié" alors qu'aux Etats-Unis des manifestations ont lieu à New York, Los Angeles et Boston mais aussi à Waitsfield, dans le Vermont, où le vice-président américain est venu pour un séjour en famille.Les experts :- James ANDRÉ - Grand reporter à France 24- Pierre HAROCHE - Maître de conférences en politique européenne et internationale, auteur de Dans la forge du monde- Peer DE JONG - Ancien colonel, spécialiste de géopolitique, auteur de Agir entre les lignes- Joséphine STARON - Directrice des études et des relations internationales chez SynopiaPRÉSENTATION : Caroline Roux - Axel de Tarlé - REDIFFUSION : du lundi au vendredi vers 23h40PRODUCTION DES PODCASTS: Jean-Christophe ThiéfineRÉALISATION : Nicolas Ferraro, Bruno Piney, Franck Broqua, Alexandre Langeard, Corentin Son, Benoît LemoinePRODUCTION : France Télévisions / Maximal ProductionsRetrouvez C DANS L'AIR sur internet & les réseaux :INTERNET : francetv.frFACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/Cdanslairf5TWITTER : https://twitter.com/cdanslairINSTAGRAM : https://www.instagram.com/cdanslair/

In this episode Nicole and Sarah host Tracy Keller, ski mom, and Head of School at Green Mountain Valley School (GMVS) in Waitsfield, Vermont. Tracy shares her ski and career journey with us from racing at Dartmouth to her first job at Sugar Bowl Academy and finally to GMVS where she is the Head of School.Tracy learned to ski when she was six at Pico Mountain in Vermont and started ski racing at a young age.  She went on to ski at Dartmouth College and after college took a job teaching, coaching and dorm parenting at Sugar Bowl Academy in California.  Tracy clearly defines a ski academy - a high school (and in some cases middle school) designed for and to serve the needs of competitive ski racers. Most are independent schools, many have a boarding component. Tracy gives some great advice on how to check out what a ski academy is like by attending a ski camp.  While students can enroll as early as 7th grade at GMVS, many students do not start attending full time until 9th grade.  Many academies offer winter term programs (typically 6th, 7th, 8th grade) starting in November through the ski season. A ski academy is a good fit for a student that is passionate about skiing - they ski every day, in all weather, and you really need to love it. Students need to be resilient, hard working and have the ability to recognize that competitive skiing is a process. Another key factor is that the desire to ski competitively needs to be driven by the athlete and not their parents. We also learn about a typical year at a ski academy - which can consist of international and domestic camp travel, on-site physical conditioning and local training.  Keep up with the Latest from GMVS:Website: https://gmvs.org/Instagram: https://instagram.com/gmvsskiFacebook: GMVSGMVS Ski CampsGMVS 7th Grade Winter TermResources:Sugar Bowl AcademyWaterville Valley Academy (NH)Rowmark Academy in Park CityThe Winter Sports School Park CityOkemo Mountain SchoolUSCSA (college ski racing)NCAA College SkiingPlease Help Support our Podcast:Mabels Labels at www.mabelslabels.com and use code SKIMOMS for 15% off your first orderShop our Ski Moms Stocking Stuffer Gift GuideCheck out the Ski Pack at www.puremountainfun.com and use code SKIMOMS2022 for 20% off your orderJoin the Ski Moms Fun Community!

Wednesday January 26 2022 - and yesterday the Detroit Free Press called 2022 the year of the craft lager. We'll see if they're right. Brought to you by The Real Voice - Mel Allen. Providing voice over for commercials, podcasts, explainer videos, eLearning, telephone systems, and more. Samples and demos at https://therealvoice.com First - kudos to Four Quarters in Winooski, VT for turning their outdoor patio into a skating rink. It's a great use of a space during the coldest months of the year in this area. You can check out the video of the outdoor skating area (complete with a fire pit) at https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=639426120845987&extid=CL-UNK-UNK-UNK-AN_GK0T-GK1C and check out 4Quarters at https://www.4qbc.com/ But - I found out - they're not the only one doing it! Nope - there's Fifty West Brewing https://fiftywestbrew.com/ice-skating/, Schram Haus Brewery http://schramhausbrewery.com/icerink/, and Throwback Brewery (whose was unfortunately damaged, but re-opening Friday) https://www.throwbackbrewery.com/blog/therink/ all have skating on site. Brewery Hockey leagues anyone? When you re-rank all the new wines, it shakes things up a bit - and turns out you might be able to get a great value as a result of the new rankings from Wine Spectator. I've frequently gone back to some advice from a friend of mine that the best bottle of wines often only costs around $15 - $25 dollars. Sounds like that almost still holds true as The Top 10 Wine Values of 2021 rankings meet three criteria: They have rated 90 points or higher on Wine Spectator's 100-point scale. They cost $40 or less and provide three other things - quality, price, and availability. They're wines with solid track records that are good representatives of their regions. Get the rundown and put together your shopping list at https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/01/25/10-best-wine-values-from-wine-spectators-new-rankings/ I bet this will be talked about at the Naples Winter Wine Fest this weekend! And this time of year is when IPAs are most popular - so let's look at eight highly rated Double IPA's and see how they rank when it's a blind taste testing panel. Dirt Wolf and Florida man are the only two I haven't tried yet, but by the rankings, there are no losers on this list. Even the 8th ranked Double IPA is described as a well-made beer that's complex, flavorful, and easy to drink - and it seems to get better from there! However, it was a smashing success for Lawson's Finest Liquids out of Waitsfield, Vermont as they took two top spots! At number 3 was Second Fiddle Double Fiddle, number 2 was Bell's Hopslam and at number 1 was Lawson's Finest Double Sunshine. https://uproxx.com/life/high-rated-double-ipas-blind-taste-tested-and-ranked/ Next Time: Coming up Another Round, the special interview editions of The Boozebuddy Update are tentatively scheduled to start on February 5th.

You can now find the brew in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and (of course) still in Vermont. The beer has Simcoe, El Dorado, and Cascade hops. It comes in at 8.7% ABV and should reach everywhere inside the above states through the end of February.

Sales of Cognac went up by 31% in 2021. In the US alone, sales jumped by 11%, China had the biggest jump with sales in that country jumping by more than 56%!

The program is an opt-in for members of the guild and is one of many offerings including additional employee law and HR education, as well as bystander and de-escalation training for staff.

What? A home-based business with the glamour of travel? Wanderlust and potential are what has always driven Americans. Funny, fast on the uptake and full of relatable stories, Peter Hans, CEO of Discovery Map, Inc. delivers both. During the pandemic, travel has been fairly limited. For many, that's meant either a staycation at home or a regional road trip. Discovery Map, the leading provider of curated guides to top tourist attractions in cities and towns throughout North America, has become even more of a godsend to those day and road trippers. Peter outlines why his franchise opportunity is a little different. It's not a 9-to-5 gig and you don't necessarily have to work 12 months a year to be successful. You just have to be willing to work hard when you work. Peter began his career as an investment banker in Switzerland for six years and followed that with six more years in London. During that time, he traveled to most every major European city and also to Australia, Asia and South America. Discovery Map franchise owners come from many walks of life. Some are corporate/pandemic refugees or semi-retired individuals looking to build a business and fund their full retirement. Others include recent college grads, as well as mothers (and fathers) looking to build a business with hours around the kids' school schedules.

Sean delves into his 9 state distribution initiative on exporting the taste of Vermont craft beer to the rest of the nation's beer market, and the new specialty releases that are coming out of Lawson's Finest every month. Kevin fills us in on his Casket Beer project, which highlights the humbler beers that deserve the same level of hype as bigger names. He also reminisces on a lifetime of snowboarding and family trips to Vermont, and how a pack of Sip of Sunshine can light up a party. As the show goes on, Jimmy and Sean lean into the Kiwi Double IPA, which is made using hops from New Zealand. The Beer Geek All-Stars continue to ponder Vermont's “little sprinkle of magic”, and the surprising flavors of real sap and maple.

Less than a week into the school year, cases of Covid-19-positive students are popping up in schools all around the state. Gov. Phil Scott so far has declined to mandate face masks in schools, but he recommends that students and educators wear masks. It has been left to each school district to decide whether or not to mask. “We're going to always do whatever it takes. We're going to keep kids as safe as we humanly can,” said Brigid Nease, superintendent of the Harwood Unified Union School District, which includes Waterbury, Duxbury, Waitsfield, Moretown, Warren and Fayston. On Sunday, Nease was notified that a student at Crossett Brook Middle School had tested positive for Covid-19. By Monday, 23 middle school students were in quarantine. Nease said she is concerned by the minimal guidance that schools have received from the state. “Each superintendent is really feeling … that we are just out here alone trying to determine what we need to do with what our community will support and what the spread looks like in our own community,” she said Educators are also trying to resist being dragged into the culture wars around masking and vaccines. “I am hearing direct reports of personal fear from principals and superintendents," Nease wrote in her back-to-school letter to the community on Aug. 19. "One of my superintendent colleagues has received a death threat. Some principals are receiving letters from groups threatening to storm the schools on the first day. Leaders are receiving voicemails from very angry community members screaming at them. Today, when seeking out advice and support we were told to access law enforcement.” Nease discusses the uncertainty and anxiety around the new school year and how she and other educators are managing a second pandemic school year.

The Vermont Conversation with David Goodman

One year ago this month, when the pandemic arrived in Vermont, Gov. Scott ordered schools to end in-person instruction. Thus began the odyssey of the Class of Covid-19. In the Harwood Union Unified School District (HUUSD), which covers Waterbury, Duxbury, Moretown, Warren, Waitsfield and Fayston, its five elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school emptied out and all instruction moved online. The classrooms remained empty through August. Graduation at Harwood Union High School (HUHS) was a drive-through affair. Last fall, HUUSD students returned to their schools to begin a year of hybrid learning, with younger students spending up to four days in the classroom, and high school students attending two days in person, and three days online. I know these schools well: I have two children who are graduates of the Harwood schools, and I served on the school board of Harwood Union High School. These are schools that I'm used to seeing teeming with children. The sight of them empty last spring, as if suspended in an endless summer, was strange and unsettling. Wednesday marks a milestone: The teachers of HUUSD are getting vaccinated at a clinic set up at the Crossett Brook Middle School, part of a new statewide effort to vaccinate educators. By this fall, the hope is that students will return full-time to the classrooms of the Harwood district. I invited several members of the Harwood community to reflect on this pandemic school year. Jonah Ibson is an English teacher at HUHS, and Katie Sullivan is a fourth grade teacher at Warren Elementary School. Gavin Thomsen is a senior at HUHS.

Este pasado jueves John Fogerty, el californiano de El Cerrito, cumplía 75 años. Considerado como uno de los más importantes compositores de la música norteamericana del siglo XX, cuenta en su haber con innumerables himnos, sobre todo los compuestos en su etapa al frente de aquella banda que nos dejó las mejores muestras de rock pantanoso. Seguro que en cualquier momento, en algún bar de Estados Unidos, puedes encontrar a alguien que haga sonar un clásico de la Creedence Clearwater Revival. En TOMA UNO siempre hemos tenido a John Fogerty entre nuestros favoritos y, por supuesto, nos anticipamos a la edición de Wrote a Song For Everyone, un disco en el que el músico californiano apareció rodeado de amigos. “Mystic Highway” nos reencontró con el mejor exponente del swamp rock que siempre encarnó la Creedence Clearwater Revival. Era uno de los dos temas inéditos que Fogerty añadió a aquel proyecto que hoy nos sirve apertura para felicitarse por estar en este mundo desde hace tres cuartos de siglo. Estaba previsto que nos visitara el próximo 17 de junio para dar un único concierto en España, pero la pandemia ha hecho que tengamos que esperar hasta el próximo 2021. John Fogerty, el líder de la Creedence Clearwater Revival, siempre ha expresado su adoración por los grandes patriarcas de los estilos básicos de la música popular, como Hank Williams y Bill Monroe. Su versión a “Blue Moon Of Kentucky” es el refrendo de esa veneración por los artistas más enraizados. Las formas empleadas por él estaban muy cerca del rock‑a‑billy que se hacía en los años 50. De hecho su "Blue Moon Of Kentucky" fue una de las primeras canciones que grabó Elvis para Sun Records y Bill Monroe sería un referente necesario para los grupos que se movieron en el country rock de los años 60 y 70. El californiano, con 75 años recién cumplidos, es otro ejemplo más de la vitalidad imbatible de los míticos artistas, con una imponente facilidad para retener lo mejor de su carrera. Hace ya 11 años, nos regalaba un disco que resultó ser una secuela de aquel histórico debut en solitario del 73 bajo el nombre de The Blue Ridge Rangers, donde él tocaba todos los instrumentos. De hecho, el álbum se iba a titular originalmente The Return Of The Blue Ridge Rangers, pero decidió llamarlo Rides Again. En aquellos 10 días de sesiones se grabaron hasta 15 canciones, tres de las cuales no se incluyeron en la publicación definitiva, dando una visión poco habitual de la personalidad de John Fogerty. Además, le acompañaron músicos de la categoría de Buddy Miller o Greg Leisz. En un disco donde se aprecia pura nostalgia, la canción que sirvió de apertura sirvió para recordar a John Prine, a quien se llevó el Covid-19, y su “Paradise”, que formó parte de su disco de debut a comienzos de la década de los 70 haciendo referencia a la temática minera y a ciudades que desaparecen cuando las minas dejan de producir. Así ocurrió con Paradise, en el Muhlenberg County, del estado de Kentucky. Poco después de la edición del quinto álbum de John Fogerty Deja Vu All Over Again, abandonaba el sello DreamWorks y tardó tres años en regresar con Revival, que supuso su vuelta a Fantasy Records, la compañía que acogió sus mejores años y con la que mantuvo varias disputas legales durante demasiado tiempo. Revival estaba lleno de referencias al pasado, recordando en cierta manera a cuando Merle Haggard se preguntaba si los buenos tiempos en realidad habían pasado. Pero Fogerty no se regodeaba en ello, aunque siempre se ha mostrado bastante nostálgico. De hecho, en sus mejores canciones siempre ha escrito sobre un mundo un tanto irreal, lleno de fantasías. “Broken Down Cowboy” fue uno de esos cortes deliciosos y melancólicos. El próximo 19 de junio vamos a encontrarnos con publicaciones tan sobresalientes como los nuevos álbumes de Bob Dylan y Neil Young, además del EP especial de Blackberry Smoke Live From Capricorn Sound Studios, con una parte de sus ingresos destinados al Fondo de ayuda MusiCares para ayudar las personas de la comunidad musical afectada por el Covid-19. En este homenaje al mítico estudio de grabación, ha incluido su versión de "Keep On Smiling", el tema que dio título al tercer álbum de Wet Willie, con sede en Mobile, Alabama, en 1974. Para ello, Blackberry Smoke han contado con su vocalista y armónica Jimmy Hall y las Black Bettys en los coros. Hace 10 años escuchamos a Ashley Ray en el álbum Sweet Home Alabama - The Country Music Tribute To Lynyrd Skynyrd que publicó el sello Hip-O, atreverse con una versión precisamente de ese tema inmortal de la banda sureña. Nacida y criada en Lawrence, Kansas, Ashley había lanzado un EP en 2007, pero es mucho más reconocida por haber firmado canciones para artistas como Little Big Town, Lori McKenna, Wade Bowen, o Caroline Spence. A finales del próximo mes de junio verá la luz su primer álbum, Pauline, un recuento de sus experiencias familiares y hogareñas, las personas perdidas, las decisiones tomadas y el coraje de aceptar todas esas vivencias y compartirlas. “Dirty Work” es una canción de tintes burlones y sensuales, donde se encomienda a la Virgen y termina pidiendo consejo a la Mona Lisa. La actividad durante el confinamiento ha sido también la tónica de Grace Potter, la vocalista de Waitsfield, en Vermont, que animada por su marido, el productor Eric Valentine, ha lanzado un par de singles, una nueva canción original, y una versión del tema de David Bowie “As The World Falls Down”. Durante la cuarentena, Grace Potter ha compuesto “Eachother” y para lanzarla ha contado con la colaboración de Jackson Browne, Marcus King y Lucius. Es una reflexión sobre la cura de humildad que en realidad significa la aparición del Covid-19 para la raza humana. Las cosas que de verdad importan no son precisamente las cosas… son las personas. Heathcote Hill vienen desde Mamaroneck, en el condado de Westchester, perteneciente al estado de Nueva York, y que fue comprada al jefe de los Wappaquewam. El grupo ahora reside en la zona de New Rochelle, que ha sido precisamente epicentro de las infecciones por Covid-19, y no podían publicar mejor canción que “All I Remember Is You”, anticipo de su nuevo álbum que tiene prevista su edición en julio. Fue compuesta en conjunto y grabada muy poco antes de que la pandemia obligara al aislamiento. El folk rock luminoso de Heathcote Hill encuentra en su vocalista Megan Porcaro Herspring y en el guitarrista Tom Nelson las bases más sólidas de una formación que ha grabado cuatro álbumes en tres años. El californiano Chuck Prophet tiene sus raíces en Green On Red y también cuenta con un extenso recorrido en solitario. The Land That Time Forgot, su nuevo álbum es una especie de exorcismo sonoro cuya publicación se ha pospuesto hasta el 31 de agosto, pero que nosotros llevamos anticipando desde hace tiempo. “Best Shirt On” en un mensaje conmovedor a la constancia en tiempos tan duros como los del presente, cuando se pierde el empleo y se lucha entre la esperanza y la desesperanza. Chuck Prophet asistió a como su propio padre perdió su trabajo durante otra crisis y, sin embargo, cada día estaba a las 6 de la mañana desayunando mientras leía las páginas de ofertas de empleo del periódico vestido con su traje y oliendo a colonia. Sadler Vaden es bien conocido como guitarrista de The 400 Unit de Jason Isbell, pero ya hace cuatro años que debutó en solitario con un álbum de título homónimo y su continuación, Anybody Out There?, seha sido conformado entre las grabaciones de The Nashville Sound y Reunions junto a Jason Isbell, pero la idea de armar un proyecto completo no llegó hasta que no se terminó “Good Man”, un tema lleno de buen humor y mejores vibraciones sobre el que gira todo el álbum. Compuesta por Vaden junto al también guitarrista Audley Freed, es casi un himno sobre el esfuerzo por llevar una vida amable y positiva para sobreponerse a las dificultades. Ayer mismo, nuestro buenos amigos de Track Dogs editaban “At A Time Like This” (En un momento como este), grabada desde la cuarentena, una nueva canción, especial para esta situación extraña que seguimos padeciendo. Es una balada en la que el cuarteto cuenta con la colaboración de una vieja amiga y compañera de conservatorio de Robbie K. Jones, la chelista Adrianne Wininsky y su amigo, el violinista, Chris Demetriou, que han grabado desde Manchester la cuerda incluida en la canción, donde Track Dogs, contando con la voz solista de Garrett Wall, ha incorporado el fiscorno de Howard Brown, Dave Mooney coge la mandolina y Robbie K. Jones se encarga del bodhran, el típico tambor irlandés. Escuchar audio

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-415 – Kate Williams – Yaks and the Planet (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4415.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello and welcome to episode 4-415 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  Today we have a great conversation with Kate who is the CEO of 1% for the planet.  I owe you a bit of backstory here, so try to keep up.  When I first started the podcast 11 years or so ago I was a bit worried about mixing my professional world with my running world.  I'm a pragmatist.  I made the decision early on that if the podcast ever caused conflict with my regular career the regular career would win.  I had this nightmare scenario of sitting in a board meeting and someone saying “You had time to do this stupid marathon race report, explain to us why you missed your numbers again?” As an insider to our endurance lifestyles I get it.  I know what we do is additive to our careers.  What we do doesn't make us worse at our day jobs it makes us better.  I believe that.  But my beliefs weren't what I was worried about.  It's like the old joke about marriage; “Would you rather be right, or be happy?”  I would rather be able to pay my bills than be sanctimonious. I was never that guy.  Because no one at work gives a crap about your training or your marathon times.  I built a wall between what I did for a living and my podcast adventures.  Which confused and intrigued my listeners.  Here I am talking about airplanes and board meetings and hotel stays and clients, and never sharing what I actually did for a living.  I would get questions.  What do you do for a living?  So, I made something up that fit the evidence.  I told everyone that I was a contract killer (that explained all the travel), but that my cover job was a yak farmer.  And if you have the patience to go back and listen to those early episodes you'll find all the yak farming jokes.  Here's the thing, I have never even seen a live yak.  I just randomly picked the most absurd profession I could think of.  Fast forward to a couple weeks ago.  I was in LinkedIn doing whatever it is you do in LinkedIn and I came across Kate's profile.  Here is this out-doorsy, masters runner person with an ivy league education and one of the jobs on her resume is “Yak Farmer”.  I could not resist.  I reached out to her and got her on for this interview.  Which turned out to be apropos and extremely beneficial because she leads an organization that addresses the intersection of business and the environment – a topic that I have done much rumination on.  Why can't we be business friendly and environmentally friendly at the same time?  Why are those two things antithetical?  I think you'll like our conversation and I'm grateful that this silly podcast thing has led me to engage with another outstanding individual who I would have never otherwise had the opportunity to meet.  In section one I'm going to ruminate on the Boston Marathon some more. In section two I'm going to ruminate about rumination.  And, I hope you enjoyed my attempt to be funny with the Leadville race report.  Sorry for the salty language.  Hope the kids weren't listening.  To make up for it I'll give you a Dad joke.  What kind of animal do you need to take with you on a trip to the Himalayas?  A Yak of all trades… On with the show! … I'll remind you that the RunRunLive podcast is ad free and listener supported.  What does that mean?

Last year, the network of 1800 members in more than 40 countries gave $24+million to environmental nonprofits. Kate stepped into her role at 1% for the Planet in May 2015 bringing a strong track record as a leader:  Professionally, Kate served as Executive Director of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail and as founder and owner of the Vermont Yak Company prior to starting at 1% for the Planet. In addition, Kate served on the Board of the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) for eleven years, two as chair. Kate has also served on the boards of the Northern Forest Center and Shelburne Farms (current), and served as an elected member of the Town of Waitsfield Select Board, serving three years a chair of that board. Kate earned a BA at Princeton University where she majored in history, and an MS at the MIT Sloan School of Management where she focused on organizational systems. Kate is a master's distance runner and kitchen gardener. Kate lives in Waitsfield with her husband and two children.

It all started when two businessmen met and bonded over their shared love for the outdoors. Realizing their responsibility to protect our planet, they decided to give 1% of their sales back to the environment—whether or not they were profitable.   In 2002, Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, founder of Blue Ribbon Flies, created 1% for the Planet and started a global movement.    “The intent of 1% for the Planet is to help fund these diverse environmental organizations so that collectively they can be a more powerful source in solving the world's problems.” — YVON CHOUINARD IN HIS BOOK “LET MY PEOPLE GO SURFING”   Soon after our inception, 1% for the Planet's mission began to resonate across the globe. The idea was simple: because companies profit from the resources they take from the earth, they should protect those resources. Realizing their responsibility, brands such as Brushfire Records, Klean Kanteen, New Belgium Brewing, Honest Tea, Caudalie and many more followed suit to join the movement.   Our network is global and diverse, proving that anyone can make a difference. From the individual members who give back by donating to and volunteering with local environmental nonprofits to singer-songwriter Jack Johnson, who joined our network in 2004 to protect the shores of his home state of Hawaii—everyone has a 1%.   We connect our members with high-impact nonprofit partners that align with their values and add to their brand story. In doing so, we take the time to get to know what's really important to our members. Through our partnership advising process, we learned that member, Klean Kanteen cares deeply about a myriad causes, which include connecting young people to the wonder and science of our world through environmental education. Beginning in 2008, Klean Kanteen's support of NatureBridge is one of our longest-standing partnerships.   Today, we have more than 2,000 members, in over 45 countries, coming together to protect the future of our planet.   Section two – The Ruminating Brain– Outro Well, my friends, ruminated to the end of the RunRunLive Podcast episode 4-415, which is a small miracle.  Two weeks after Leadville I went ahead and ran the Wapack Trail 18 miler.  I couldn't stop myself.  I had a perfectly reasonable plan.  I would do a couple hard weeks with speedwork and then treat Wapack as a long training run.  This was a wonderful idea on paper, but not so much in execution.  What I had not considered is that going into a technical trail mountain race like Wapack with tired legs result in spending a lot of time with your face in the dirt.  Yeah, If you don't lift your toes you eat dirt.  I probably fell 7 times. Then I shut it down hoping for a big bounce for the BeanTown Marathon last weekend.  I felt pretty fit and strong for the race but I only had 18 miles in me. I raced hard and hung in as long as I could but I just didn't have the legs.  Duh.  It was a 6 loop course in a park, by the ocean in southern Mass.  Pretty course with some gravel roads and a little hill in each loop.  That little hill started really getting to me by the 4th loop and I just couldn't hold the pace. Another classic Chris Russell 15 minute positive split. 18 miles at race pace and 8 more at a stumble.  I'm not terribly upset about it because I felt like I was close.  These last few cycles I haven't made my time but every one of them felt like they could have gone either way. Next up for me is Baystate.  I'm chilling this week to recover.  I was super beat up after this race. I've got a very sore hip and still have that tendonitis in my butt.  If I can get healthy I'll load up on the long runs for a couple weeks and get some speedwork in.  The challenge is going to be staying healthy. I can tell I'm a bit over trained.  And, now, I'm officially out of qualification.  If I want to run Boston this year I'll need a waver bib. Oh, and I signed up to pace another half marathon.  I'm going down to Nantucket with Gary two weeks before Baystate to pace the 1:50 group with him.  Should be pretty. And that's a good two-weeks-out workout for a marathon.  As usual, I'm hopeful and still plugging away, but I'm only in my first year of this age group so I've got to qualify 3 more times at this level before I age up 10 minutes. And what about Ollie-dog?  He is growing like a weed.  As I was writing this he was crying to go out.  I just came back in so I figured he was just bored. But, as all good puppies do, he proceeded to march into the living room and show the rug that he did indeed really need to go out.  Good thing we haven't got around to changing the carpet yet.  He's a maniac.  When he's not chewing on you he's stealing something of yours to chew on.  He like ice cubes and anything he is not supposed to have.  He's going to be a great dog if I can ever break him.  Right now he's a wild animal.  It's nice to have the pitter patter of little hooves in the house again.   And I'll see you out there.

Working alongside other talented instructors was an inspiring experience for me, and a highlight was being able to work with students on framing and sheathing a tiny house on wheels. Teaching this course reminded me how challenging it can be to properly build your tiny house around the wheels of a trailer, so I decided to do a solo episode all about trailers!

Co-hosts Andrew James (@OneWhoSeesDimly) and Eric D. (@HopSnobbery) launch Episode 008 of Riff On off talking about what's been keeping them busy over the last five months. Eric D. blames Andrew on his gigging schedule with The Owl Stars. One of the last shows that The Owl Stars performed was at Stone Corral Brewery in Richmond, Vermont. Stone Corral hosts bands and open mics, typically from 7pm to 10pm. Richmond has an outstanding community, and On The Rise Bakery is mentioned, as well as the Daily Bread. Summer in Vermont has set in, and Andrew and Eric D's kids are out of school until the Fall. The Vermont weather has been fantastic so far this year, but the heat wave of July of 2018 has recently set it. Fortunately, there was access to the pool, swimming holes and beaches, including the Falls of Lana and Thayer Beach. Summer in Vermont means the Vermont Brewers Festival, which is July 20 and 21st, 2018. Andrew hasn't been in a handful of years, while Eric D. has attended almost half of the 25 plus years. Now four sessions strong, the brewfest added the fourth session due to the 11 minute sellout a few years back. Tickets are still available for the 2018 Vermont Brewers Festival. The downturn in brewfest tickets can possibly be attributed to the abundance of beers available on the shelf around Vermont. Eric opens up the Fiddlehead Brewery Cash Or Trade double IPA, which is a special beer brewed for www.CashOrTrade.org which is a website and social network for live music fans to buy, sell & trade tickets at face value. Started by two Phish fan frothers from Burlington, Vermont, the site started with Phish tickets and has moved towards different bands in the jamband scene like Umphrey's McGree, Dead and Company, STS9 and more. The New England IPA and the Vermont IPA beer scene is discussed, especially with the popularity of the craft beer IPA scene of the last few years. The defense of the Vermont name is discussed, including maple syrup and other products, including beer and selling them within the state. Eric D. and Andrew attended a recent going away party at Mule Bar in Winooski and the talk turns to checking in beer on Untappd. Andrew chooses to not rate, but comment on the beer, while Eric D. still choose to rate beers so that he knows if has drank it before and what his thoughts were. Talk turns to Vermont beer, including Idletyme's latest canning offerings, which include Zog's Pale Ale, which Eric D. deems a must try American Pale Ale. Andrew talks Foley Brothers of Brandon and Bent Hill Brewery of Braintree. Finding cans is a bit easier nowadays and the Jolley Stores offer quite a bit and Eric D. shops at 802BWS. Eric D. tracks the different Vermont breweries that offer cans, which is now up to 40 breweries. Lawson's Finest Liquids of Waitsfield will soon be opening their new brewery, including Double Sunshine and Maple Fayston's in cans. Talk turns to Hill Farmstead Brewery of East Greensboro, who is now offering their beers in cans on site only. Speaking of new cans in Vermont, Green Empire Brewing of Colchester now offers Side Business IPA which is very good. River Roost Brewery of White River Junction is now offering Glimpse and Mas Verde occasionally in cans and Good Measure Brewery of Northfield is offering their flagship beers in cans, including Early Riser and Social Club. The latest brewers to offer cans is Mill River Brewing & BBQ in St. Albans and Hired Hands in Vergennes are the latest to offer craft cans and worth checking out.

Donald Messier is as vanished as vanished gets. The 34-year-old Vermont native was on the rebound in October 2006 following a painful divorce. On the night of Oct. 14, 2006, Donnie went to Waitsfield, to enjoy himself at another of the epic parties thrown by a longtime buddy. Those there that night say Donnie left the party by himself between midnight and 2:30 a.m. on October 15, 2006. No one has seen him or his big-red pickup since. Over the following weeks, forests were searched and waters dredged, but the mystery behind Donnie's whereabouts only deepened. After giving it their half-hearted best, Vermont State Police determined Donnie wasn't a victim of foul play, suspecting he skipped out on the only life he's known or, perhaps, killed himself in the backcountry. For the last 10 years, his family has believed otherwise. "I have heard some 'interesting' stories about how [he] just dropped off the face of the Earth with [his] truck," Donnie's father wrote on Facebook on Oct. 15, 2014. "Those responsible need to start looking over their shoulders because what goes around comes around." In this investigation, Marissa and Nathan eye the conspiracy of silence around the party Donnie went to that night, discovering that if you listen closely enough you begin hearing the secrets others have left embedded in the silence around them.
