Podcasts about when patrick

The first time the show hasn't had a Veteran founder has a good reason: Patrick Nettesheim is helping Veterans overcome PTSD and related stress symptoms by teaching them to play the guitar. In fact, a research study of Guitars 4 Vets students showed a 21% improvement in PTSD symptoms and a 27% decrease in related depression symptoms. The study attributed learning and playing guitar as the primary catalysts for these improvements. And Patrick is doing his level best to get guitars into the hands of as many Vets as possible. On 2006, a Marine Veteran from the Vietnam era came in to see Patrick and Patrick made the connection to serving the military people with teaching them guitar. His family on his father's side were all veterans and musicians as well. His music career started with the magic of the Beatles' album his brother gave him and started in a band at 13. Back to the Marine. He wanted to know Patrick's teaching method. When Patrick replied his material is a blank page and that most people want to first learn a song. And that's what makes them happy and makes them want to continue. That was the beginning of Guitars 4 Vets. When Dan, the Marine, noticed his PTSD symptoms were retreating, Patrick then began to realize this was a program that could become incredibly valuable to a huge number of military Veterans.

Today we celebrate the decoupage botanical artist that left her mark on botanical history. We'll also learn about a Louisiana botanist, naturalist and author who lived in a home called Briarwood. We salute the English poet who was killed in WWI - he appreciated the pure beauty of flowers. We also recognize one of Canada's leading botanists - he was 90 years old when he died on this day 100 years ago. We honor July with a beautiful poem called Keeping July. We Grow That Garden Library™ with a book that inspired kids to cook with their garden harvest, and it's part of the best-selling American Girl cooking series. And then we'll wrap things up with the Landscape Architect who fought to have a tree instead of a parking meter in front of his office building.

It's that easy.   Curated News Ann-Marie Powell talks lockdown and sharing her garden. "No one is more surprised at the success of her lockdown project than Ann-Marie Powell. The popularity of her daily Instagram Live posts from her garden is, she says, simply astonishing. Begun on day one of lockdown and broadcast every day since, the My Real Garden account now has more than 9,500 followers, making it more successful than her official design Instagram feed. In fact, it's become such a part of her life she's planning to keep it going even as lockdown eases. Ann-Marie has turned a corner of her garden into a studio. The award-winning designer and RHS judge started the My Real Garden feed after being inundated with requests for gardening advice from friends as Britain went into lockdown. Someone suggested she put the advice online and base it on her own Hampshire garden, which had been sadly neglected while her house was done up. 'My garden was literally full of weeds because it had not been looked after for two years. I like to be doing so I thought it'll motivate me, it'll be like a bit of a diary and if I put it out there that I've got to do it. I didn't realize that so many people would be interested!'  Broadcast live every lunchtime, My Real Garden followed Ann-Marie, who trained at Capel Manor, as she shaped her lawn, planted fruit and chose plants for shady spots. There's been advice on watering and deadheading to keep summer displays going."  My Real Garden reaches its 100th consecutive broadcast today, July 1, and will now become a twice-weekly rather than daily event with the Sunday Social at 12.30 BST and the new Wine and Water Wednesday at 7 pm when followers will join Ann-Marie to water their gardens with wine in hand. 'My Real Garden' will continue twice a week on Instagram Live Although she's done television in the past, it's the freedom of the Instagram Live that Ann-Marie has loved: 'It's been really lovely just being in charge of what I say. I can be as silly as I want, have a bit of a laugh, and God knows, haven't we needed to have a laugh.'  And she’s made virtual friends from as far away as Canada, Belgium and Detroit. 'It's just been amazing to just have this nurturing, lively, thriving community of like-minded people.'  You can follow My Real Garden on Instagram at @myrealgarden, and there's more information on the website."    What's the Difference Between Oregano and Marjoram? If you've grown both, you know they look quite similar, and they are often confused for one another. But, when it comes to flavor and taste, it is easy to tell them apart. Oregano tends to be earthy, pungent, and spicy. It can easily overpower the other flavors in a dish. To subdue the pungency, cooks recommend using the dried form of oregano. On the other hand, marjoram is milder. Use that alliteration to help you remember, Mild Marjoram. Marjoram's flavor is more refined; it's floral and woodsy. Because marjoram is sweeter and milder, chefs recommend using fresh marjoram instead of dried marjoram for cooking.   Alright, that's it for today's gardening news. Now, if you'd like to check out my curated news articles and blog posts for yourself, you're in luck, because I share all of it with the Listener Community in the Free Facebook Group - The Daily Gardener Community.

I'd love to meet you in the group.   Important Events 1744 On this day, the botanical tissue paper decoupage artist Mary Delaney wrote to her sister about her garden. Mary Delaney had an extraordinary life. Her family had forced her to marry a sixty-year-old man when she was 17. He was an alcoholic. To make matters worse, when he died, he forgot to include her in his will. Despite her lack of inheritance, Mary realized that, as a widow, she had much more freedom than she had as a single young lady. In society, she could do as she pleased. Fate brought fortune for Mary when love came knocking on her door in June 1743. Mary met an Irish doctor named Patrick Delaney. He was also a pastor. Although her family wasn't thrilled with the idea of a second marriage to the son of a servant, Mary did it anyway. She and Patrick moved to his home in Dublin, and his garden was a thing of beauty, which leads us to the letter Mary wrote to her sister on this day in 1744. Mary wrote: "[The] fields are planted in a wild way, forest trees and … bushes that look so natural... you would not imagine it a work of art ... [There is] a very good kitchen garden and two fruit gardens which ... will afford us a sufficient quantity of everything we can want. There are several prettinesses I can't explain to you — little wild walks, private seats, and lovely prospects. One seat I am particularly fond of [is] in a nut grove, and [there is] a seat in a rock … [that] is placed at the end of a cunning wild path. The brook ... entertains you with a purling rill."    Mary and Patrick were happily married for twenty-five years. When Patrick died, Mary was widowed again; this time at the age of 68. But Mary's life was not over. She hit it off with Margaret Bentinck. Bentinck was the Duchess of Portland, and together they pursued botanical activities. They loved to go out into the fields and collect specimens. It was thanks to the Duchess that Mary got to know Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander. When Mary was in her early 70s, she took up decoupage - which was all the rage at the time - and she created marvelous depictions of flowers. Today, historians believe Mary probably dissected plants to create her art. Botanists from all over Europe would send her specimens. King George the Third and Queen Charlotte were her patrons. They ordered any curious or beautiful plant to be sent to Mary when in blossom so she could use them to create her art. Her paper mosaics, as Mary called them, were made out of tissue paper. Mary created almost 1000 pieces of art between the ages of 71 and 88. If you ever see any of her most spectacular decoupage pieces, you'll be blown away at the thought of them being made from tiny pieces of tissue paper by Mary Delaney in the twilight of her life in the late 1700s.   1888 It's the birthday of the naturalist, botanist, ornithologist, prizewinning horticulturist, painter, archaeologist, historian, author of six books, and a proud daughter of the great state of Louisiana: Caroline Dormon. Her friends called her "Carrie." Carrie was a tiny woman; she was also a powerhouse, forming her own opinions and ideas about the natural world. A traditionalist, Carrie always wore dresses - she thought pants were quite scandalous. Carrie was born at her family's summer home called Briarwood. It would become her forever home and a national treasure. In the 1920s, Carrie built a writing cabin at Briarwood she called Three Pines because of the trio of tall pines around it. Carrie told her friends it was a place for daydreams. By the 1950s, a second cabin was built at Briarwood. Carrie liked to take the screens off the windows every spring so wrens could build nests inside. At Briarwood, Carrie installed trails through the woods, and she planted hundreds of plants. She even installed a reflecting pool for "Grandpappy" - her name for her favorite tree on the property. Grandpappy is estimated to be over 300 years old; he's a longleaf pine, and he's still alive today. And, I thought you would enjoy a story about Grandpappy that Carrie used to share with visitors: Once a forester wanted to "core" Grandpappy to determine a more exact age for the tree. Carrie stopped him and said, "It's none of your business how old Grandpappy is, or how old I am for that matter." And that's quintessentially Carrie Dorman, aka the Queen of the Forest Kingdom.   1889 Today is the birthday of the WWI English poet Leslie Coulson who was killed in action at the Battle of Le Transloy, in France. Coulson wrote: The gold stalks hide  Bodies of men who died  Charging at dawn through the dew to be killed or to kill.  I thank the gods that the flowers are beautiful still.   1920 Today is the 100th anniversary of the death of one of Canada's leading botanists John Macoun. He was 90 years old when he died. Here's a little story John shared about growing up in Ireland: "We had a garden well fenced in. [My mom] encouraged us to spend our idle time in it...I seemed to prefer taking an old knife and going out to the fields and digging up flowers and bringing them in and making a flower garden of my own. I only remember primroses and the wild hyacinth. Another characteristic was the power of seeing. I could find more strawberries and more birds' nests ... than any other boy."  After arriving in Canada, John had started out as a farmer. In 1856, he became a school teacher, partly to nourish his nearly "obsessive" interest in botany, but also to find a more balanced life. John wrote that before teaching, "I had never had more than one holiday in the year, and that was Christmas Day. [My brother,] Frederick, and I might take a day's fishing in the summer, but an eight-mile walk and scrambling along the river was not very restful."  Within five years, John had begun regular correspondence with prominent botanists like Asa Gray and Sir William Hooker. In John's autobiography, there are many touching passages about his love of botany. Here's a little glimpse into how he cultivated his understanding of plants: "I would take a common species of roadside or garden plant of which I knew the name and then immediately endeavor to work out its correct name from the classification. The Mullein was the species that I took first. I found it more difficult than I had thought on account of its long and short stamens, but I soon came to understand the arrangement of the stamens and pistils so well that most plants could be classified by their form alone."  Once, John was approached by his future father-in-law, Simon Terrill, who was a bit skeptical of John's prospects. John wrote, "Simon Terrill, who was a well-known Quaker in that district, ... found me with a plant in my hand and said: 'John, what dost thee ever expect to make out of the study of botany?' told him that I did not know but that it gave me a great deal of pleasure."    Unearthed Words Dens of chairs and blankets, a circus show at home,  lines and nets and rackets,  no-one keeping score. Eight books each to represent,  a fox in socks surveys,  on July first the power went and the movie was delayed. Calves the very height of style in all their sepia glory, starlings at the seaside taking inventory. Lettuce growing rivalry in green and purple lines, questions answered silently, learning to tell time. Rapunzel can no longer hide, rooster calling on repeat, Gorse clicks and crackles from all sides, a nineties dance floor beat. Chippings, pavers, rollers, our road consolidated, filling tearing, smokers keep children fascinated. A linnet pair on seedy heads, thrushes gobbling berries, an old pink paper license, explaining pounds and pennies. Old heads of lavender on thin but sturdy stalks we edge through the calendar these days not to recall. — Joanna O'Sullivan, Irish writer and poet, Keeping July   Grow That Garden Library Garden to Table by the Williams Sonoma Test Kitchen This book came out in 2018.

Robert was a Harvard grad, and he settled down in Pennsylvania. While researching Robert, it was impossible to avoid all the newspaper articles that covered a disagreement Robert had with the city of Pittsburgh. In 1965, Robert was a young, 32-year-old Landscape Architect with an office at 6010 Centre Avenue. Newspaper accounts said he had wanted to "spruce up what he called a drab neighborhood in the East Liberty section." After trying for weeks to get permission to plant a tree in front of his building from the City Forester Earl Blankenship, Robert decided it was better to ask forgiveness, and went ahead with the planting. Robert told reporters that planting the tree was in line with President Johnson's thinking on beautification and that, "If you try to get anything done through the city, you get, "no, no, no." So we decided to break up the sidewalk and put it in... hoping no one would notice. Unfortunately, the installation accidentally took out a parking meter." Newspaper accounts shared that, "In the dead of night, Fenton brought in a high lift, a 15-ton truck, and five men. The tree he had selected was a beauteous 25-foot ash with a five-inch base and it cost Fenton $110 (in 1965). The total project cost Fenton $275." The city departments took umbrage at Robert's actions. After two weeks of discussions, the City Attorney David Stahl said the tree was cut down and hauled away by City Forester Earl Blankenship in the middle of the night. Robert came to work and was shocked to discover the tree gone, cut down to the ground. Just days earlier, Robert had told town reporters that, "I think it's going to be so difficult to remove the tree that the city will let it stay and merely warn me not to let it happen again." Newspaper accounts of this story were super punny: Tree Goes, City Barks Citizen on a Limb Poetic Tale of a Tree Somehow Lacks Meter A Tree Grew In...Violation 'Woodman Spare That Tree' Cry of Architect Falls on Deaf Ears City Thinks Meter Lovelier Than Tree Want Meter There and No Shady Deal Today, if you look at the same spot on Google Earth, whaddya know? There's a tree growing in front of the building... but there's no parking meter.

Offer expires soon. You don’t want to miss it! It’s the investment of a lifetime! It’s going to be the party of the century! Can you feel the anxiety piling up? You know what it is – it’s FOMO. The Fear of Missing Out. In a hyper-connected world, FOMO is more intense than ever. Our friends are sharing amazing travel photos on Instagram, people are talking about the hot new investment opportunity on Twitter, news headlines bait us with the mystery of what we’ll find out if only we’d click. Even social distancing isn’t enough to calm FOMO. Sure, you have little choice but to stay home, but then you see the screenshot of the Zoom party you weren’t invited to. Having a fear of missing out is an innately human thing – it’s been around forever. But FOMO is relatively new. In fact the term FOMO – so ubiquitous it’s in the dictionary – was invented in 2004, by today’s guest, Patrick McGinnis. Patrick McGinnis (@pjmcginnis) is the author of Fear of Missing Out: Practical Decision-Making in a World of Overwhelming Choice. When Patrick invented FOMO, he was a student at Harvard Business School – a choice-rich environment. More than fifteen years later, Patrick still thinks about the dark side and the bright side of FOMO – as a venture capitalist. If you’re going to love your work, you have to make great decisions. That’s what this conversation will help you do. There’s more to FOMO than you think. In this episode, you’ll learn: How can FOMO be a good thing? If you’re feeling the FOMO, it might be a sign. With all the lip service FOMO gets, it’s a shame more people don’t think about FOMO’s cousin: FOBO. What is FOBO, and why is it all bad? FOMO and FOBO can wipe out your mental energy with decision fatigue. Learn a quick and fun hack for saving brain cycles called “ask the watch.” You’ll love it. P.S. Patrick McGinnis is one of the last guests we’ll have on Love Your Work for awhile. Why?

Today, I am grateful to have here with me, someone who went from a humble beginning as a young immigrant escaping war-torn Iran with his parents, to founding his own company, Patrick Bet-David. Patrick has gained a first-hand understanding of what rags-to-riches means and how it is fueled by freedom and opportunity – the core tenants of the American Dream. Patrick’s amazing story starts with his family immigrating to America when he was 10-years old. His parents fled Iran as refugees during the Iranian revolution and were eventually granted U.S. citizenship. After high school Patrick joined the U.S. military and served in the 101st Airborne before starting a business career in the financial services industry.  After a tenure with a couple of traditional companies, he was inspired to launch PHP Agency Inc., an insurance sales, marketing and distribution company – and did so before he turned 30. PHP is now one of the fastest growing companies in the financial marketplace. Patrick is passionate about shaping the next generation of leaders by teaching thought-provoking perspectives on entrepreneurship and disrupting the traditional approach to a career.  Patrick’s popularity surged and created a buzz in the hearts of entrepreneurs all over the world when The Life of an Entrepreneur in 90 Seconds, a video he created, accumulated over 30 million views online (It became a book in June 2016: The Life of an Entrepreneur in 90 Pages ). That video and scores of other videos comprise his library of edifying, educational and inspirational content about entrepreneurship – all available at Valuetainment, a media brand he conceived and founded. Valuetainment exists to teach about the fundamentals of entrepreneurship and personal development while inspiring people to break from limiting beliefs or other constraints and achieve their dreams.  It has been referred to as “the best channel for entrepreneurs.” In this episode, Patrick opens the show diving deep into his story and revealing what it was like to have a relationship with the late, great Kobe Bryant. Patrick explains how the coronavirus pandemic can actually be an opportunity – for instance; his business set a record-breaking month in March. Then, Patrick describes the importance of health for entrepreneurs and why he loves to hire people who have a chip on their shoulder. Stay tuned as Patrick speaks about discipline, writing down your goals, and asking the right questions.

[00:25] About Patrick Patrick grew his insurance company from 66 agents to 14,000 agents with 130 offices. On the side, Patrick started a YouTube channel. The channel numbers grew to a couple of million subscribers. In the beginning, he would talk about all sorts of things, and it wasn’t practical. He thought about the one word that he knew the most about – it was capitalism and entrepreneurship. The number one word became “entrepreneur.”   [04:45] Lessons Learned from Kobe Bryant Kobe and Patrick spent an hour talking about life. He spent fifteen minutes with his son and another fifteen minutes with his wife. Kobe is simple. He has a level of clarity and focus that none of his peers have. What’s the most significant difference between Kobe and Jordan? Jordan never worked as hard as Kobe did. Kobe wasn’t as talented, so he had to work harder. After the interview with Kobe, a relationship started between him and Patrick. Unfortunately, Kobe died before they could start their next endeavors. Watch the interview that Patrick did with Kobe Bryant: Kobe Bryant’s Last Great Interview.   [13:45] The Coronavirus is an Opportunity Patrick says his business has increased exponentially because of the coronavirus. Immediately, Patrick converted all of his presentations to Zoom. Because they pivoted quickly, Patrick ended up having an advantage. In March, PHP had a record-breaking month. After researching the virus, Patrick was calm and used his confidence to be there for his team.   [19:50] How Important is Prioritizing Health as an Entrepreneur? Twice a week, Patrick hires a yoga instructor to do yoga with his employees. Plus, they also have a fully stocked gym. The bigger the vision, the more energy you require. The more energy you require, the closer attention you need to pay to your health. If you get sick for a week, then you lose momentum. Without energy, Patrick wouldn’t be able to do anything; health is critical.   [23:10] Women and Immigrants Have a Chip on Their Shoulder     When Patrick started his insurance company, his focus was on women, Latinos, and millennials. Why? Patrick loves an underdog. 80% of insurance agents are men. So, Patrick wanted to create opportunities for women. Patrick never wants to be the Goliath in any situation. Being the David allows him to look at the blind spot of the Goliath. If you think like a Goliath, then you will be taken down by a David.   [27:10] What Does Discipline Mean to You? How do you judge someone’s character? Maybe you judge who someone will marry. Your friends will also be a reflection of who you are. If you have four complainers around you, then you are probably the fifth complainer. Patrick can’t be around someone who makes excuses. The same goes for who you decide to go into business with. It shows what kind of values you have. Patrick cares about people who say what they are going to do, and they do it. Discipline is tough to measure. When someone says something, do you believe they are going to do it? If yes, then they are disciplined.   [36:10] What’s Your Why? There are different levels of whys. The first level is survival. Maybe you want to make enough money to move out of your parent’s house. The next level is status. You need to buy something in order to fit in with your peers. It can sound shallow, but it means you’re moving up. The next level is freedom. What would life look like if I had $5,000,000 in the bank?   [44:00] Do You Need to Write Your Goals Down? Writing your goals down works for some people, and it means nothing to other people. Patrick is a visual person. He made multiple different vision boards. No two people are driven by the same thing. Test different things out and see what clicks.   [47:50] Learn to Ask the Right Questions 99% of the time, people aren’t asking the right questions. If you don’t have a girlfriend, don’t ask what it’s like to be a grandpa. It’s irrelevant. If you don’t have a girlfriend, ask how do I find a woman to be with long-term? Ask a question based on the phase you are at, not in the phase they are at. Ask for strategic steps.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Patrick’s Website Follow Patrick Bet-David Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn Watch Kobe Bryant’s Last Great Interview Watch Is Ray Dalio Right?

Patrick Saunders’ paintings have won many awards and received much recognition. His studio works earned him membership in notable painting organizations, including becoming a signature member of Oil Painters of America. When Patrick began plein air painting in 2013, he won awards from numerous nationally recognized events and organizations. However, whether he paints indoors or outdoors, he does not want to be known by where he paints. He doesn’t want to be known as a plein air painter nor as a studio painter. Rather, he considers himself simply as a painter drawn to many subjects. The subject matter of his paintings include landscapes, cityscapes, animals and pets, and florals. Many of these subjects Patrick discovers along the thousands of miles he and his wife, photographer Kimberly Saunders, travel in their Airstream across the country. Patrick avoids the many sweeping vistas he travels through, preferring to capture the intimate details of life. As he and his wife travel, he searches out the colors, textures, and values of everyday life that are all too often taken for granted. In this episode, Patrick talks about the challenge of overcoming preconceptions about how something should be painted. It requires keen observation of what is before us. Our belief that some subjects are more difficult to paint than others may also be the result of deeply rooted preconceptions. Careful observation, and the willingness to view art making as a series of little mistakes corrected and adjusted throughout our painting session helps us overcome our preconceived notions about painting. Patrick Saunders work clearly demonstrate that he diligently strives to paint with no preconceptions.

When Patrick left his job with a big bank in 2001, he knew he wanted to create an independent financial advisory business that provided value and direction. However, it wasn’t until he lost his biggest account that he realized his true vision. That one loss showed him that his calling was to become a financial caregiver for his clients—not a financial products salesperson. Patrick vowed to never again accept a commission on any financial product he recommended. He built True Measure on this basis and continues to study investor behavior and the soft sciences to be a resource to his clients. With Patrick’s wealth of knowledge, he can lead his clients down a path of financial success and personal fulfillment that is unprecedented in the industry. www.inpowertribe.com/1dollarmastermind --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/inpowertribe/message

CHANGE YOUR PLAN, NOT YOUR GOAL w/ Patrick Woods. When Patrick set out to achieve his bucket list goal of running the Boston Marathon, he couldn't foresee the adversity that would stand between he and the starting line. Just a few months ago he broke both arms in a scootering accident. This is where most people would have said, "Not this year." Instead, Patrick found a way to keep the goal and change the plan on how to get there. There are deep lessons for all of us that think big, set big goals, yet live in a world that, by design, is filled with adversity. Listen in to gain tactical insight and inspiration on how you can keep thinking and achieving big despite what surprises life might bring you.

Most gardeners share a common secret: they never feel like they know enough about gardening to call themselves an expert.   If you feel this way after years of gardening, you're not alone.    Over two centuries ago, Thomas Jefferson sent a letter to his friend, the painter Charles Wilson Peale. He's lamenting the limitations of his garden at Monticello. He concludes with  one of my favorite garden quotes of all time:   "But tho, an old man, I am but a young gardener."       Brevities #OTD  It's the birthday of Mary Delaney Born today in 1700.  Mary Delaney lead an extraordinary life.  The family had forced her to marry a very old man when she was 17. He was an alcoholic. To make matters worse, when he died, he forgot to include her in his will.   Despite her lack of inheritance, Mary realized that, as a widow, she had much more freedom than she had as a single young lady. In society, she could do as she pleased.   Love came knocking on her door in June 1743 when she married a doctor named Patrick Delaney - an Irish clergyman. Her family wasn't thrilled with the idea of her getting married again. But, Delaney did it anyway. She and Patrick moved to Dublin where Delaney had a home. They both shared love for gardening.   When Patrick died, Mary was widowed again; this time at the age of 68.   But Mary's life was not over.   She hit it off with Margaret Bentinck. Bentinck was the Duchess of Portland, and together they pursued botanical activities. They loved to to go out into the fields and collect specimens. It was thanks to the Duchess that Mary got to know Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander.   When Mary was in her early 70s, she took up decoupage - which was all the rage at the time -  and she created marvelous depictions of flowers. Today, historians believe Mary probably dissected plants in order to create her art. Botanists from all over Europe would send her specimens.  King George the third and Queen Charlotte were her patrons.They ordered any curious or beautiful plant to be sent to Delaney when in blossom so she could use them to create her art.   Her paper mosaics, as she called them, were made out of tissue paper. She created almost 1000 pieces of art between the ages of 71 and 88.   If you ever see any of her most spectacular decoupage pieces, you'll be blown away at the thought of them being made from tiny pieces of tissue paper by Mary Delaney in the twilight of her life in the late 1700's.         #OTD  Today in 1796 Edward Jenner injected his gardener's son with cowpox.   The boy's name was James Phipps. James was eight years old.   Jenner injected him with fluid from a cowpox blister from a milkmaid named Sarah Nelmes and she had contracted cowpox from a cow named Blossom.   In the late 1700s, people thought the folks who took care of cows and had been infected with cowpox, would then not be able to catch smallpox.   What Edward Jenner essentially did was to vaccinate James against smallpox. The word vaccinate  is from the latin word for cow.       #OTD It's the birthday of John Alexander Montgomery Cushnie, born today in 1943.   Cushnie was a landscape designer, writer and broadcaster.He was a tall, good-looking Irishman. Listeners were often surprised to see how handsome he was after just listening to his voice on the radio for so many years.   Cushnie became a household name in England once he became a regular panelist on the show gardeners question time for 15 years.   Cushnie was 66 years old when he appeared on the show for his final broadcast right before Christmas. He was enjoying his first week of retirement when it was cut short by his sudden death from a heart attack on New Year's Eve In 2009.   On the show, Cushnie cultivated a wicked sense of humor. He was not a fan of poinsettias.   He reacted to a discussion about dogs peeing in the garden by saying, "The dog is simply marking his territory... the only thing [the unrine of] a male dog will not kill is a lamppost."   When asked about lawn damage by playing children, John said let the children play, they aren't young for long.   Many times, his ultimate response to a problem posed by a gardener would simply be - "just dig it up".           Unearthed Words It's the birthday of Harold Glenn Borland Born today In 1900. Borland was known as the chronicler of the seasons.      He went by Hal, and he was a naturalist as well as the writer.   Borland wrote an editorial column in the New York Times for 35 years. His last column appeared the day before he died in 1978.He never signedHis work, but everyone knewIt was written by Borland.   Like John Burroughs, Borland had a sympathy for and simple communion with the natural world.  His writings reflected his essence. Here's a sample of springtime according to Borland:   “The violets will come, in their own time. That is all that was written in the sky by Friday's equinox. The sun's summons will not be answered overnight, but the answer is inevitable. The first hungry bee at the first crocus hums of June, and the first green leaf forecast cool summer shade. All is in order. Spring is the earth's commitment to the year.”   And here are some of Borland's most famous sayings:   “No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.”    "April is a promise that May is bound to keep"   "If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees."   “Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.”    "You fight dandelions all weekend, and late Monday afternoon there they are, pert as all get out, in full and gorgeous bloom, pretty as can be, thriving as only dandelions can in the face of adversity."       Today's book recommendation: Mrs. Delany: Her Life and Her Flowers by Ruth Hayden In 1980, a descendant of Mary Delany's sister Anne, Ruth Hayden, published a book on Delany's work: Mrs. Delany and Her Flower Collages, which was reissued in 2000 as Mrs. Delany: Her Life and Her Flowers (British Museum Press).     Today's Garden Chore - Yesterday, we talked about herbs that grow in shade, but shade can also be used to slow down growth of some herbs and plants that grow quickly - the ones that can get away from you. Think about basil or swiss chard.  I always plant these in my southern kitchen garden - but I plant a few backup containers on the east and west sides of my house.  It will grow slower there; that means I can be more leisurely about harvesting there.           Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart When I was researching Borland, I came across this little passage he wrote about Podophyllum peltatum the Mayapple.  “In a painful time of my life I went often to a wooded hillside where May apples grew by the hundreds, and I thought the sourness of their fruit had a symbolism for me. Instead, I was to find both love and happiness soon thereafter. So to me, [the May apple] is the mandrake, the love symbol, of the old dealers in plant restoratives.” Mayapple is in the barberry family.  These plants contain a toxin used to treat the plantar wart. The May applealso goes by other common names like American mandrake, wild mandrake, and ground lemon.  Today, this native perennial is grown as ornamental plants for their attractive foliage and flowers which bloom in May.  It bears an egg-shaped fruit whose common name is “May apple”, "love apples" or “American mandrake.”  Folklore says the mandrake root is an aphrodisiac.   According to Emma Darwin’s diary, Charles Darwin started taking ‘pod.’, an extract or resin from the root of Podophyllum peltatum or Mayapple, on 24 March 1864 - probably using it for his stomach troubles since it was a purgative. But take heed—mandrake is poisonous.       Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

This week, we air 2 interviews, one about the case of the Cleveland 4 and one with members of Unicorn Riot.      pt 1: The Cleveland 4 Firstly, we speak with Amanda Shemkes.  Amanda does legal support for members of the Cleveland 4.  The Cleveland 4, or CLE4, are 4 anarchists who're serving around a decade in Federal prisons in the U.S. on charges of terrorism.  Back story is that Brandon Baxter, Connor Stevens, Doug Wright, Joshua "Skelly" Stafford and Anthony Hayne were arrested on April 30th in 2012 for attempting to blow up a bridge with the provocation of an FBI informant named Shaquille Azir.  The young anarchists had coalesced during Occupy Cleveland as a group after encamping together, being involved in food distribution and activism and were targeted and entrapped by Azir who escalated their talk of direct action to the bombing plot and provided them with work, housing, drugs, alcohol, access to (fake) explosives and more.  Anthony Hayne took a cooperating plea deal with the Federal Government while Brandon Baxter, Connor Stevens, Doug Wright and Skelly all received sentences of around a decade each with terrorism enhancements promising lifetime probation.  Amanda talks about their case, their time inside, government attacks on social movements and how to support Brandon, Connor, Doug & Skelly, the Cleveland 4. More on their case can be found at http://cleveland4solidarity.org  Also of note, Connor Steven's birthday is coming up on December 17th, so send him a bday card!  Same day is Chelsae Manning's bday, actually... on that note, why not visit PrisonBooks.Info to see political prisoner birthdays for this month and sign up to receive the monthly calendar that the Prison Books Collective puts out?  No good reason, I reckon.   pt 2: Unicorn Riot Following this, we speak with volunteers with the non-profit, radical media outlet Unicorn Riot.  Founded in 2014, UR has expanded from it's Minneapolis base to be present on the ground at struggles around the U.S. covering events as they unfold with the words of the people involved, documenting the brutality of the state's reactions and bravery in the streets and the fields of those resisting.  As a platform, UR distributes regular tv episodes, podcasts and features small news briefs as well as a presence on social media.  UR's coverage of the uprisings in Minneapolis around the killings and lack of justice in the killings of Jamar Clark  & Philando Castille and more recently of the struggles of Water Defenders at the Standing Rock reservation in North Dakota have gone viral, increasing solidarity and pressed mainstream media outlets to expand their coverage of these violent government interventions. In this second half of the episode, the plucky media rebels share their views on activism and journalism, on media paradigms, their project and some of the resistance it's participated in. A quick postscript correction Patrick misspoke a couple of times during the interview that we didn't catch. Corrections are: 1.) When describing the drone rules on Standing Rock, he meant to refer to no-fly rules from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and not the FCC (which oversees broadcast restrictions and allowances in the U.S.); 2.) When Patrick talks about Niko being flagged down by police to broadcast a police statement over Unicorn Riot, it was actually during the Justice for Jamar Clark struggle, not in the aftermath of the killing of Philando Castille. Also, a tool noted by Wendy & Pat for research into government coverup used by journalists these days: https://www.muckrock.com/   This week Sean Swain shares his thoughts on Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution in light of Fidel's death last week.  More from Sean at http://seanswain.org   Announcements   Asheville Peace Vigil with Standing Rock Tomorrow, Monday December 5th in Asheville there's a prayer and vigil in Soldarity with Standing Rock as regards the struggle to stop the expansion of the Dakota Access Pipeline we'll be talking about later in the episode.  Folks are meeting at 6pm at Pack Square.  Bring an offering.   Anti-klan rallies in NC/VA Also, big ups to the folk who went out to face off the kkk motorcade on Saturday the 3rd in Danville, VA & Pelham, NC.  This time the KKK got their own stabby after the fact.   Tragic fire at Ghostship warehouse in Oakland Of note, our hearts here at the final straw go out to those suffering the devastating effects of the fire at the Ghostship warehouse on Friday December 2nd during a 100% Silk party.  According to the most recent KGO-7 news out of San Francisco at 2pm EST on Sunday the 4th of December, 24 victims have been found inside the warehouse.  A list of missing people has been compiled in an article on heavy.com.  Not all of those pictured are known to be among the victims of Friday's fire.  To donate to relief funds, visit youcaring.com.   Playlist pending

Patrick Quinn is a full-time blacksmith in Florida, New York.  He graduated with honors in sculpture from the School of Art and Design at Alfred University continued his education with Southern Illinois University to pursue his masters.  He is now a teacher at the Center for Metals Arts. What We Talked About While completing his bachelor’s degree at Alfred university he focused in fabrication of sheet metal work and hollow forms. When Patrick graduated he moved to Vermont for a job at a production forge company as a welder, but the company only had an opening for a blacksmith to mainly work on the power hammer and hydraulic bending machines pumping out production pieces, so he was hired for that position. While Patrick was working at the production forge he rented a local barn to have his own studio space to practice his hand forging. Eventually, he quit his job and ran his own blacksmith business in Vermont for a few years. This led him to some big stainless steel jobs to complete in NYC during the winters.  This allowed him to live in Vermont in the summertime to work on his portfolio. In 2011, he applied to a graduate program at Southern Illinois University, a 3-year program. He now works for the Center for Metal Arts as the blacksmith program director and class instructor. The school is in Florida, New York an hour north of New York City. The school offers 1 to 4-day classes for all levels of blacksmithing, as well as silver soldering, enameling, and jewelry making. While most of the classes he teaches are on the weekends, he uses the weekdays to make private commissioned work. Most of the commissions are architectural in nature, and he will add his sculptural designs to them. Patrick will be part of the 2016 ABANA conference demonstrations, he is one of the team of 12 working with Jake James on a collaborative sculpture. The school’s shop consists of milling machine, a lathe, 5 welding machines, bandsaws, platen and fabrication layout tables, 3 power hammers, 8 forging stations complete with anvils, forges, and hand tools. Patrick likes to read books that are technique based for forging, open die forging, tool making and older books about crafts. When asked who would he spend a day with learning from – he answered to work with the guys at the Hay Budden Anvil making shop in Brooklyn in the early 1900’s.

Patrick is nearly dead and still he kills! When Patrick kills his mother and her lover he ends up into a coma. He falls in love with his private nurse and tries to kill everyone in his path using psychokinesis to be with her.

Patrick Henry Hughes was born enabled. His father, Patrick John, relates that when Patrick was four months old, the sound of the piano soothed the child, and by the time Patrick Henry was a-one-year old he was playing tunes on the piano. In the ensuing years Patrick Henry learned to play the trumpet and developed his voice. When Patrick applied to college he wanted to be in the pep band. The band director said ‘no problem’, however, all pep band members were also members of the marching band. This was somewhat of an obstacle for Patrick since he was born without eyes and had a muscle disease that made him wheelchair-bound. His father said that he’d be willing to move Patrick around in the formations. And so what is extraordinary for some is normal for this family. We talk to the two Patrick’s and hear about their new book, I Am Potential. Listening to the optimism of the Hughes family, where Patrick is the oldest of three boys, I can’t help but feel the strength and devotion of Patrick Henry’s parents. Eight lessons on living, loving, and reaching your dreams. “Home for the holidays?” Or, “let’s get this party started?” The holidays can be a stressful time for families under the best of circumstances. For your child with autism, they can be particularly difficult. Familiar routines are out the window and unfamiliar – and sometimes unfair – expectations arise at every turn. Listen in and hear how to empower your child with autism during this bustling time.  Internationally known award-winning author and columnist Ellen Notbohm (Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew) and San Francisco special needs activist Katy Franklin join “Senior Dad” Stan Goldberg in the Autism Briefing Room, explaining how the holidays effect their children with autism and their friends and families. Hear tips what to do before and during holiday parties and strategies for graceful departure. What to do about gifts and gift lists, and how to handle the lure of those attractive TV commercials?  Ellen and Katy share some of their experiences with their children and what works for them. Some of the lessons we learn apply to teaching and handling all children as well as helping us begin to understand the challenges of a family with a child with autism.Stan tells of time going fast
