I just realized that I hadn't yet posted my 2007 top reads...so here they are! My resolution for 2008 is to read more of the books I own and use the library less...to reduce the amount of books that are cluttering up my study! We'll see how successful I am.
I keep more complete reading lists on my amazon.com listmania...but these are the ones I would recommend.
1. Beneath a Marble Sky, J. Shors. Wonderful historical fiction about the building of the Taj Mahal.
2. A Thousand Splendid Suns, K. Husseini. Magnificent, heartbreaking story of women’s friendship.
3. Woman of the Silk, G. Tsukiyama. After hearing Tsukiyama speak this summer, I went back to the beginning. Great novel of women’s friendship during the silk trade in China.
4. Water: A Novel, B. Sidwha. Tragic, heartwarming story about Indian widow, on which the movie, “Water,” is based.
5. My Sister’s Keeper, J. Picoult. Another novel of Picoult’s that makes me look at things differently and from all sides.
6. Eye Contact, C. McGovern. Excellent murder mystery about an autistic boy who was present at the murder of a classmate.
7. The Girls, L. Lansen. Memorable, bittersweet story of a set of conjoined twins…a wonderful depiction of sisterhood.
8. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, JK Rowling. Excellent ending to a great rollicking tale!
9. Girl in a Box, S. Massey. Many of you know of my fondness for Massey’s novels. Another great one!
10. The Last King of Scotland, G. Foden. Disturbing story based on the life of a man who was Idi Amin’s physician.
11. As Hot as It Was You Ought to Thank Me, N. Kinkaid. Southern coming-of-age novel.

Ashley McGuire has been in the entertainment business for more than 20 years. During that time, she has managed to build a solid resume that includes a variety of credits in TV shows and movies. In recent years, she has become best known for her roles in things like Angela Black and Eastenders. This year, though, there is another role that she can add to the list. Ashley’s latest credit is in a new TV series called This Is Going To Hurt. The comedic series is based on a memoir of the same name and it centers around the lives of a doctor named Adam Kay. Although Ashley isn’t one of the show’s stars, she lights up the screen every chance she gets. Keep reading for 10 things you didn’t know about Ashley McGuire.
1. She’s a Formally Trained Actress
Acting is a very competitive space so it’s important that people do what they can to stand out among the rest. For Ashley, that meant working hard to sharpen her skills as much as possible. She studied acting at the Rose Bruford College of Speech and Drama and what she learned there has certainly helped her in her career.
2. She Was In The Harry Potter Movies
The Harry Potter movies are arguably the most popular movies of the 2000s. Ashley is proud to say that she is part of the franchise’s legacy. Ashley had roles in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Parts 1 & 2. Her parts may have been small, but they were still a great experience.
3. She Enjoys Taking Pictures
Just because Ashley spends most of her time in front of the camera doesn’t mean that she can’t also be comfortable behind it. In her free time, Ashley really likes taking pictures and it’s clear that she has a good eye for capturing the best moments. She often shares many of the photos she takes on Instagram.
4. She Likes Being Outdoors
Despite all of the time that Ashley has spent in the entertainment industry, she is still a very down-to-earth person who enjoys the simple things in life. Ashley looks forward to any chance she gets to be outdoors. She has lots of appreciation for the beauty of nature and everything it has to offer.
5. She’s A Baseball Fan
Despite being born and raised in the United Kingdom, Ashley is a very big fan of America’s favorite pastime: baseball. It’s unclear exactly which team is her favorite but she enjoys being able to go to games whenever she can. Don’t get it twisted, though, Ashley also likes to watch soccer.
6. She Likes Playing A Variety Of Characters
There are plenty of actors who spend their entire career playing the same kind of character. Ashley isn’t one of them, though. She isn’t afraid to step outside of her comfort zone and take on different kinds of roles. This kind of versatility has been a major asset to her over the years.
7. She Has Theater Experience
TV shows and movies aren’t the only places Ashley has been able to put her acting talent on display. She has also lots of theater experience and she has been part of more than a dozen stage productions over the years. Some of her theater credits include Henry IV and The Suicide. Even though on-screen opportunities appear to be her main focus, Ashley still continues to do plays here and there.
8. She Likes Animals
There’s always something heart warming about finding out that a person loves animals. With that being said, get ready for your heart to melt. Unlike some people who are dog people or cat people, Ashley is someone who likes both. She also has love for all kinds of other animals.
9. She Wants To Have Her Ashes Scattered At Sea When She Dies
Most people don’t like to think about anything having to do with their death, but Ashley has already put some thought into how she wants her memory to be honored. In a tweet, Ashley wrote, “I am saying yes to this. At 49 years old, I might not find a place I love to be more than here. My mums ashes went in that sea, and one day so will mine. @ Estepona”.
10. She Likes to Travel
Ashley has lived in the United Kingdom for her whole life, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t gotten the chance to see other parts of the world. She has been fortunate to do a good amount of traveling over the years and she has been to countries such as Spain and Canada.

In 1513, a Spanish explorer named Juan Ponce de León landed on a flowering peninsula he called “La Florida.” Was he wearing mouse ears and socks with flip-flops, like many of Florida’s modern visitors? All we can say with certainty is that 500 years ago, he was searching for the Fountain of Youth. Five centuries later, this hot strip on the tip of the Eastern US still attracts explorers, those still searching for youth and folks who can’t seem to effectively apply sunscreen.
For better or for worse, happy 500th birthday, Florida!
Between Florida’s focus on tourism and its legacy of intrepid exploration, it makes perfect sense that this is the land that made me who I am. Now that I’ve returned from my travels to explore my home state – at least for the next 11 months until my lease runs out – I’ve decided to jump on the bandwagon as La Florida promotes this historic year with events and parties and exhibitions.
So here are 5 of my Florida favorites to help you experience 500 years of Florida – enjoy!
Florida wouldn’t be Florida without historic St. Augustine, so start your Sunshine State adventure here with a dose of Spanish history. While Ponce de Leon explored the area, now known as the First Coast, upon arrival in 1513, St. Augustine is regarded as the oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement in the continental United States because Admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés officially founded a settlement here in 1565. Home to the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument (1672), gorgeous Flagler College (1888), the St. Augustine Alligator Farm, the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park, the USA’s Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse and Nombre de Dios, a Catholic Mission founded in 1565, there’s no shortage of interesting sites and surprising facts in this town.
In a country where just about everything is relatively new, especially in comparison with say, Europe, it’s refreshing to visit St. Augustine and experience a walk back into US history. (Just beware where you stay!)
Some of Florida’s most ancient residents live in South Florida, and I’m not just talking about all those Yankee retirees! Of course, I’m referring to the American Alligator, of prehistoric descent. Did you know the word alligator is an anglicized form of el lagarto, the Spanish term for “lizard,” which the Spanish settlers in Florida called the alligator? How cool is that?
While you can spot these dinosaurs all over the state, in nearly every body of water, the best place for gator peeping is the Everglades National Park, where you can take a bike ride on the Shark Valley Loop off the Tamiami Trail. If that sounds a little too Steve Erwin for your taste, you can take a tram, or book a spot on an airboat for the ride of your life.
Walt Disney World & Universal Studios Florida
Folks either love or hate what’s become of Orlando, what with its plethora of larger than life theme parks and prominent bowing to tourism. I grew up in a world where a trip to Disney was as big a deal as Christmas, so I must confess, I fall staunchly in the “We’re going to a theme park today?! YAHOOOOOOOO!” category. The Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, Disney Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Sea World, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and the new Legoland are the heavy-hitters, and you could spend quite a bit of money just checking those off your list. (Wizarding World of Harry Potter, anyone? My favorite!)
But don’t forget about the smaller parks, including Wet n’ Wild, Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon and the Holy Land Experience. If you’re coming to Florida for the first time, even just for a few days, plan a visit to one or more parks. You won’t be sorry. (Your feet might. Bring bandaids.)
Far away from the theme parks and the historic attractions of Spanish Florida, you’ll find a town with a distinctive Caribbean flavor. It’s Key West, Florida, and it’s the southernmost point of the continental USA. In fact, Key West is closer to Havana, Cuba, than it is to Miami.
At just four miles long and two miles wide, Key West won’t take too long to explore once you get there, but it doesn’t mean it’s not worth the spectacular drive on the Overseas Highway, crossing 113-mile chain of islands connected by 42-bridge, including one that’s a full seven miles long. Pastel-colored houses and cats and funky bars await at the end of the road, much like they did when Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams were residents.
Explorers founded Florida in 1513 and since NASA’s inception in 1958, explorers have continued to search for new frontiers using Florida’s Space Coast as a base. When I was a kid, my grandparents used to bring us down from Jacksonville to watch the space shuttle launches. The shuttle program was discontinued in 2011, but space exploration continues, so you can still visit Kennedy Space Center, its many retired spacecraft and the Astronaut Hall of Fame on your next visit.
So, are you all jacked up like Ponce de Leon on Fountain of Youth water? No? Come on! There’s no time like the present to come check out my home sweet home. And let me know if you do… I’ve got a million more recommendations, theme park secret tips and suggestions for the best restaurants to get alligator tail. And with all this research I’m doing on Florida’s history, I’m just a little bit excited to play tour guide =)
A historical note: there was a Native American presence in Florida long before the European influence, so I don’t want that to go unnoticed! The 500-year anniversary of course commemorates the beginning of the formation of the USA as we know it. Also interesting to note, when Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492, Ponce de Leon was with him. Plymouth Rock and Jamestown were founded in the 1600s.
And a programming note: No, Visit Florida didn’t pay me to write this. I just love my home state and wanted everyone to know about it!
7 thoughts on “5 Places to Experience 500 Years of Florida”
I’m a HUGE FL fan too! I think #6 should be Maimi or South Beach!!!
I’m heading to Miami in June – may just have to do a Part 2!
Make a list of small accessories that you may need as you tour Universal Studios. It can be a very noisy place, and some of the attractions are deafening, so bring along some earplugs for everyone in the family. Sunscreen is an absolute must, as are hats to protect you from the sun. Leave your purse at home or locked in the trunk, and use a fanny pack or backpack instead. There are also lockers available through guest services if you need a secure, dry place to store your belongings while you have a blast in the park.,
Consider our personal homepage as well
The plaits are a really cute look for you! Especially with the mismatched hair ties 🙂
Why, thank you! I do my best to look as young as possible 😉
I love Florida! 🙂 And I don’t care what the travel snobs say, I love Disney World. It’s a magical place full of imagination and wonder (minus the crowds and crying children, of course!)
YES! Imagination and wonder! I always forget about the crying children until I’m there, and then I wonder who let all the crying children into MY theme park?

Do you want to make your boat a better fishing machine? These five unexpected electronic upgrades will do the trick.
We have an entire section of BDOutdoors dedicated to marine electronics because in this day and age all of us anglers depend on our fishfinders, chartplotters, and other digital tools to get the hotspots and then fill the fishbox. But the modern marine electronic advantages you can utilize go well beyond those sounders and plotters. Do you want to make your fishing machine into a better boat? Here are five surprise electronic upgrades you may not have thought of, which will help you hit high-liner status.
Autopilot – Yeah, sure it’s nice to be able to press a button and get where you’re going without wrestling the wheel. But set that aside for a moment. The angling advantages an autopilot delivers are far more important than most people imagine. I found this out first-hand the very first day I fished after adding a Si-Tex SP110C on my trusty old Glacier Bay 22. With a day of Spanish mackerel trolling on the agenda we had two last-minute cancellations from the crew and ended up setting out a trolling spread of six lines with just two people on the boat. Thanks to the autopilot, at the press of a button I was able to turn my focus on setting out lines. (Yes, of course, you always have to maintain a safe lookout, but it allows for glances rather than a constant stare). And when three rods went down at once I could again press a button and then play a role in the cockpit chaos that ensued.
Allowing the captain to move away from the wheel for a few moments is only one way an autopilot can help. Making course changes by jogging in smooth five-degree increments allows for tangle-free turns. Many systems have clover-leaf patterns that allow you to work a spot hard after a strike, without commanding your full attention at the helm. And you can pre-set routes to hit multiple spots one after the next.
AIS – Few of us anglers have AIS and even fewer ever pay any attention to it. That’s a shame because the automatic identification system can help you catch more fish. Shrimpers, trawlers, scallopers, and squid boats can all represent mobile hotspots when predators are attracted to their by-kill and discards. Savvy anglers know this and often chum or cast lures around them, but many people simply run off into the wild blue yonder and hope to spot one or find them on radar. With AIS, you know where those commercial fishing boats are before you even leave the dock.
Added bonus: You don’t’ need to make any huge investments to include AIS in the mix. There are several cell phone apps that let you tap into AIS data, and can help you pre-plan your day of trawler chunking.
Lighting – Who would think of boat lights as fishing tools? Well, anglers do, of course. Who would think of them as electronics? Hey, today’s modern systems can include zoned color-changing systems controlled with a cell phone app, touch-screen controllers, fish-strobe modes, and NMEA2000 compatibility. What you really care about, of course, is the fact that illumination like those Ocean LED underwater lights draws in hordes of bait when you’re fishing at night.
Another important factor to consider is deck illumination. Another upgrade that went on the Glacier Bay was an Imtra IML cockpit light, a six-LED bracket-mount that turns dark into day in the entire cockpit yet is amazingly compact and inexpensive. When fish are coming up to the gaff that illuminating glow is an absolute necessity.
Chartplotter – Sure, you already have a chartplotter and you already use it while fishing. But a simple upgrade – one that’s often cost-free – could give you a serious fish-catching boost. Self-charting ability is the key. These days, most modern units allow you to create your own highly-detailed bathymetric cartography, by combining GPS data with the pings of your fishfinder. The latest units can often do this right out of the box, but many that are three to five years old could harness this ability if you upgraded the software. Raymarine’s LightHouse II has Navionics SonarChart Live built right into the Release 17 update, for example, and if you have a compatible unit but haven’t upgraded yet you’re missing out.
Bow-Mount Electric – Bow-mounted electric trolling motors are another item many people don’t think of as electronics, but the three newest versions to hit the market, the Lowrance Ghost, Garmin Force, and Minn Kota 87-inch shaft Terrova have big brains with onboard GPS, full integration with MFDs at the helm, and in some cases Bluetooth connectivity and/or wireless remote control. You bet they’re electronics, and more importantly, adding them to your boat (if you have the right size and type, of course) can help turn it into a better fishing platform. Virtual anchoring is one big perk; once you get within casting distance of the hotspot you can press a button and the trolling motor uses GPS to hold you in place. Autopilot is another advantage these rigs can deliver. And in the case of the Minn Kota, the new 87-inch shaft length means saltwater center console boats up into the 20- to 30-foot, 10,000-pound range can now enjoy all these benefits.
If it hadn’t crossed your mind to consider any one of these five electronic upgrades – much less all of them – right now is the time to start thinking about it. Because each and everyone will help turn your boat into a more efficient fish-killing machine.

This is an large abstract painting of a frozen seascape. It is quite a minimalist and 'quiet' painting, but with some texture to 'feel' the rough etches of the frozen water.
A frozen sea with muted colours: greys, a bit of turquoise and green and on the horizon the setting sun just visible.
The sea always gives me a feeling of quietness, tranquility in its endlessness and I hope that I have transferred that feeling to the canvas.
This beautiful large seascape will give cachet to any living room, be it modern or more conservative, because of the muted colours it will fit anywhere!
I protected the painting with two layers of varnish and the sides are painted as well, it is ready to hang. It has a signature on the front and will come with a certificate of authenticity.

The Proposed Idea of Asylum in Belgium for Catalan Leader Puigdemont is not on the Table
The Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel dismissed the suggestion by Belgium's Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration, Theo Franken, that the country could give political asylum to the leader of the Catalan separatists, Carles Puigdemont, in front of RTBF TV.
Such a possibility "is absolutely not on the agenda of the country," he said, and called on Franken "add oil into the fire".
Deputy Prime Minister Alexander De Croo also reacted sharply: "Such ideas do not express the position of the government and only worsen the situation in the region, we have to calm people, not to infuriate them even more"
Yesterday Franken said that Puigdemont's political asylum "is not incredible if you look at the situation. There (in Spain) they are already talking about jail. Can the court over him be fair? "
The secretary of asylum added that" Catalans who feel politically threatened ", including Puigdemont, can apply for asylum in Belgium. He told Fremant TV VRT that "Belgium may be an opportunity for Puigdemont to get out", but added that so far no such request has been received.

Identified as the first public skatepark in Minneapolis at the time of its completion in May 2019, the 4,200 square foot plaza was one result of an ambitious four-year, $14 million campaign to build a new design headquarters and update the campus of Juxtaposition Arts (JXTA), a non-profit youth art and design education center, gallery, retail shop, and artists’ studio space. Rather than leave empty for four years the site of the new building, a prominent corner lot in North Minneapolis, JXTA designed and build a plaza that combined art, flexible open space, sustainable stormwater management, and skateboarding.
This student-led design, with assistance from City of Skates, the University of Minnesota Landscape Architecture Department, and the City of Minneapolis, consists of moveable furniture for multi-use purposes and skate features like a bank to wallride with cantilevered manual pad, bank to curb, and two round quarter pockets. Serving as a backdrop is an 840-foot long mural by Bronx-based graffiti artist Tats Cru, created during his residency in spring 2019. Three rain gardens, connected by a trench drain, occupy approximately fifteen percent of the site, infiltrating stormwater runoff from JXTA’s building and adjacent buildings to the west and north. The native plant gardens with red osier dogwood, sedum “Autumn Joy” and prairie dropseed were designed and planted by youth apprentices to improve the site’s scenic and ecological values. The plaza’s development and design are a tribute to the unique and vivacious character of North Minneapolis community.

The great Louis Armstrong once sang that “when you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you.” As related studies would have it, smiling is indeed contagious. Like most things, the positive effects that smiling has on other starts with yourself.
Every time you smile, your brain perceives happiness. By doing so, the brain sends the necessary signals that flood your entire body with endorphins. Endorphins are biological chemicals that make you feel good. The correlation between facial expressions and emotions is one that has been studied since the 1980s. In fact, a 1984 article that was published in Science journal confirms that your body feels actual emotions when you mimic corresponding facial expression. Hence, it is natural for your body to feel happy every time you smile.
Smiling is good for your happiness and health. Still, there are more than a few people who find smiling a laborious task to do. More often than not, this unhealthy apprehension against smiling is rooted in a number of unresolved dental concerns: yellowish teeth, tooth decay, bleeding gums and etc.
This is where Professional Teeth Whitening In Sunshine Coast dental clinic comes into play.

8 things I'm absolutely overreacting to after Week 12 in the SEC
Well, that just about wraps up the Dan Mullen era in Gainesville.
When does the Lane Train arrive? And will Anthony Richardson be there to greet him?
Those are just some of the 8 things I’m overreacting to after a cupcake-filled Week 12 in and mostly around the SEC.
8. Jordan Davis just had his Heisman moment … on offense
We’ve been waiting for it and asking for it. Saturday, Kirby Smart finally gave college football fans what they wanted: a handoff to behemoth defensive tackle Jordan Davis.
Two, actually, on back-to-back plays. Davis crashed over from the 1 on the 2nd carry for his 1st rushing TD.
— SEC Network (@SECNetwork) November 20, 2021
Call it a Senior Day gift. And I loved the way his teammates celebrated the moment.
I hope Heisman voters noticed, too.
7. Unless CJ Stroud just stole it …
Every year is different, but it’s only human nature to compare.
That’s why I can’t go all-in on a Bryce Young Heisman campaign, even after his record-breaking performance Saturday against Arkansas. Other Alabama QBs have had better years (capped with a national title) and not won the award. And Young’s season doesn’t stack up with Joe Burrow’s historic campaign in 2019. Again, that’s completely unfair to Young, who has been outstanding, but I think those factors are handicapping his Heisman bid.
CJ Stroud has no such comparison problems.
The last Big Ten player to win the Heisman Trophy was OSU QB Troy Smith in 2006.
More recent OSU QBs have put up big numbers — but the field outperformed them. Justin Fields threw 41 TD passes in 2019 — but Burrow threw 60. Dwayne Haskins threw 50 TD passes in 2018 — but Kyler Murray was even more dominant, throwing for 4,000+ yards, rushing for 1,000+ yards and totaling 54 TDs for a Playoff team.
No QB has had that type of year this year. That, more than anything else, has opened up the Heisman race to defensive studs like Jordan Davis and Will Anderson.
Stroud, however, is making a heck of a closing argument.
The redshirt freshman now has 36 TD passes and is approaching 3,500 yards. If Ohio State beats Michigan and wins the B1G title game, there’s every chance he’ll enter the College Football Playoff with more than 4,000 yards and probably close to 45 TD passes.
Those are Heisman numbers.
6. Not so fast, my friend …
Lee Corso is an easy target for a lot of reasons. But he’s also a college football institution, so I get why GameDay continues to roll him out every Saturday.
Most of the time, he’s completely harmless.
Saturday, he took aim at Cincinnati’s quest to make the Playoff. That’s fine. It’s wrong, but it’s fine, as long as you can support your belief with a lucid argument.
He didn’t; he used the built-in scheduling excuse. Corso said it wouldn’t matter if the Bearcats finished 13-0 because they only played 2 Power 5 teams and one of them was 2-8 Indiana.
That lame line of thinking speaks to a person who hasn’t watched the American Athletic Conference play much football the past 3-4 seasons.
I watch a lot of everybody. I’ve said for 3-4 years that the top of that conference is even better than the Pac-12. Cincinnati would win the Pac-12 this year. UCF would have won the Pac-12 during its undefeated season.
There’s a reason the Big 12 is raiding the AAC, including Cincinnati. Heck, the team Cincinnati absolutely destroyed Saturday — SMU — beat TCU (Big 12) earlier this season, on the road.
Remember, it was just 11 months ago that Georgia needed to score 14 points in the 4th quarter to overcome Cincinnati in the Peach Bowl — essentially a Georgia home game. The Dawgs won, 24-21, on a 53-yard field goal with 3 seconds left.
JT Daniels threw for 392 yards. George Pickens had arguably his best day as a Dawg. Georgia’s headliners played on defense, too, including Quay Walker, Nakobe Dean, Jordan Davis, Lewis Cine.
Nobody this season has scored more than 17 on that Georgia defense, which is largely last year’s Georgia defense.
Cincinnati belongs. And the Bearcats belonged even before Oregon laid a duck egg against Utah on Saturday night. Sorry, Lee.
5. The B1G gap …
If you’re a fan of Overreactions, you’re familiar with my stance on the Big Ten. It’s Ohio State … and everybody else.
I stood by that belief even as AP voters dropped the Buckeyes after the early loss to Oregon this season.
In Week 5, when AP voters had Penn State at No. 4, Iowa at No. 5 and Ohio State at No. 11, I still included Ohio State in my Playoff picks and wrote:
“I’m well aware that Iowa and Penn State are undefeated and ranked ahead of Ohio State. They’re not better than the Buckeyes, though, because they can’t score like the Buckeyes can. And that’ll be proven over the next month.”
Well, here we are, and there isn’t a hotter offense or hotter QB in the country than Stroud. The Buckeyes are steamrolling everybody in the B1G. That gap looked as large as ever Saturday against No. 7 Michigan State.
This Ohio State team is built to beat Georgia or Alabama.
4. The 4 Playoff teams are …
1. Ohio State, 2. Georgia, 3. Alabama, 4. Cincinnati
There’s a new No. 1. Ohio State’s offense is that good, that versatile, that explosive. More important, its defense has figured it out. That unit doesn’t have to be great. It just has to be better than the 2020 version of Florida. In harsher words, just don’t suck, and the offense will do the rest.
I haven’t had Oregon in my Playoff rankings since the Ducks lost to Stanford. I’m sorry you did. They made you look ridiculous Saturday, getting blown out by 31 — 31! — against Utah.
3. All I want for Christmas is a 12-team Playoff … a 12-team Playoff
Dan Patrick said this week that college football power brokers would meet on Dec. 1 to decide whether to implement a 12-team Playoff for the 2022 season.
Please let this happen.
I’ve lost interest in the 4-team selection format. I’m so over wasting time listening to talking heads debate the topic, strength of schedule, résumé, eye-test. I’m at the point where, just pick the 4 teams you want in, line them up and play.
The system was fundamentally flawed from the day the idea hatched. Nothing has changed in the 7 years since.
We have to have more teams. And we must have automatic bids. You simply have to take this out of the committee’s hands and put it in the players’ hands.
Within 3 years of the 12-team format being adopted, college football fans will look back and wonder why in the world it was any other way.
2. Michigan State overreacted more than I ever could …
Mel Tucker is a fine football coach, but extending his contract for 10 years, $95 million?
That seemed like a stretch when it was announced Thursday.
Midway through Saturday’s beatdown against Ohio State, it seemed like a downright laughable case of buyer’s remorse.
This is Year 2 for Tucker. So he’s in the same boat as Mike Leach, Lane Kiffin, Sam Pittman, Dave Aranda, Greg Schiano, etc.
Kiffin is the only one in that group who should command that type of money so early into a tenure. And Kiffin obviously won’t get close to that kind of deal at Ole Miss, where state law restricts contracts of state employees to 4 years.
It’s unfair to read too much into 1 game, but Tucker is a defensive guy, and his Spartans rank dead last in the country in pass defense. And that was before Stroud made them look like an FCS outfit and they made Stroud look like the pending Heisman Trophy winner.
1. If I’m Lane Kiffin, I’m choosing …
The job isn’t open (yet), but it will be soon. Very soon after his continued coaching blunders handicapped the Gators in a lackluster loss at Mizzou, which clinched the Gators’ worst SEC record since 1979.
Lane Kiffin will have a lot of choices, this year, next year, whenever he decides to bolt Ole Miss. He could even stay in Oxford and build a perennial SEC West contender. (That 4-year contract restraint is overrated in the sense that the contract can be extended annually, meaning it’s potentially a rolling 4-year contract. I mean, Dan Mullen stayed at Mississippi State for 9 years.)
But Kiffin is perfect for Florida. He’s a recruiting wizard. He has ties to South Florida — and Tampa. He’s the closest thing — from scheme to personality — to the Head Ball Coach. He is all swag in a state largely defined by it.
He’s the guy Florida needs.
I firmly believe he’ll be Florida’s next head ball coach.
And I can’t wait to watch what he does with Anthony Richardson. Records will be broken, trophies will be encased and Richardson will become the next Gators QB to earn a statue outside The Swamp.

As the sun slipped away into the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, the unmistakable sound of stilettos on gravel could be heard echoing down the promenade of Hotel du Cap Eden Roc. With a harbor full of hulking yachts (most notably James Packer’s 108-meter Azimut Benetti vessel rumored to be hosting Leonardo DiCaprio) and a view framed by twisting Aleppo pine trees, the amfAR Cannes gala unfolded in an expectedly fabulous fashion.
While the roving fundraising galas pop up throughout the year in Palm Beach, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Venice, this celebration is on the heels of the Cannes Film Festival and might as well be amfAR’s Super Bowl in raising funds and awareness for finding a cure to HIV and AIDS. Last night, a whopping $17 million was raised, beginning with cocktails, naturally, during which the evening’s sponsors—Chopard, Aston Martin, and Red Sea International Film Festival—displayed their wares among the artworks that would be up for auction later in the evening. Swanning through the crowd of 850 guests in layers of taffeta and tulle and feathers and rhinestones were Catherine Zeta-Jones, Rebel Wilson, Eva Longoria, Kate Beckinsale, Fan Bing Bing, Teyana Taylor, and Heidi Klum, along with Ashley Graham, in disguise under a large Nina Ricci chapeau. Graham was one of a handful of partygoers who were swept away from the festivities for an outfit change at the behest of Carine Roitfeld for her mid-gala fashion show auction item.
Shortly after, when guests took their seats for dinner at tables replete with orchids, many a bottle of Champagne on ice, and no less than five pieces of stemware per person, they were welcomed by an homage to amfAR founder Elizabeth Taylor and a troupe of “supers” including Helena Christensen, Carmen Kass, Caroline Trentini, Alek Wek, and Guinevere van Seenus, all emerging from a spiral staircase and stomping down a mirrored runway that snaked through the dining room. The collection of 18 vintage looks sourced by Roitfeld from the likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Burberry, Richard Quinn, and Chanel, one more embellished than the next and glistening beneath the room’s mirrored ceiling, would later sell for a cool $600,000.
Led by auctioneer extraordinaire Simon de Pury and the evening’s master of ceremonies, Queen Latifah, the lots also included artworks by Claire Tabouret, Andres Valencia, Robert DeNiro, and a portrait of Monsieur DiCaprio by Damien Hirst, which sold for €1.2 million and a heavy dose of irony as the actor himself sat in the crowd, sporting a baseball cap.
Entertainment was in no short supply either. Gladys Knight, Bebe Rexha, Adam Lambert, and Halsey all delighted guests with their hits before the crowd was directed to the Hotel du Cap pool. Set into the jagged cliff side, it’s a pool shrouded in legendary tales. It’s where Ella and F. Scott Fitzgerald were known to take a dip and where Gianni Angelli used to arrive to thunderous applause when he would dive into the adjacent sea from his helicopter. Though the dance floor and Champagne coupes remained full, the many hushed corners of the poolside and its sequestered tables hosted by sponsors RVLV and h.wood group, served as more of a launch pad for bigger plans.
It was no secret that most partygoers were in town from places further afield and very much on vacation, some for the remainder of the summer, and with that came an understanding that the night would come to a close much later than an average Thursday. This became clear when not one but two after-parties kicked off at 1:00 AM: One hosted by Alton Mason and Elsa Hosk at Villa Domaine de L’Ansa and the other by Johnny Depp and Richie Akiva at Domaine La Dilecta. The latter, which unfolded in a scene not unlike a very upscale high school house party (pizza, tequila, skinny dipping, and all), included DJ sets by Zack Bia and DJ Cruz that kept revelers, well, reveling until sunrise.

Quite an honour for all-hyped pop trio HAIM. The band’s catchy hit single Forever now gets a brand new remix, done by none other than legendary GIORGIO MORODER. The influential 70s disco producers is currently celebrating some form of comeback, thanks to his collaboration with French superstars DAFT PUNK. And he clearly managed to give the song a new and shiny four-to-the-floor outfit. Pumping disco material at its best. The original is taken from HAIM‘s successful debut album Days Are Gone. Check out the new rework right here.

Glenn Herbert wrote:It seems you're going for extreme heat loss efficiency, so with the tiny size you could get by with quite a small system. A major issue might be the door - you would lose a noticeable fraction of the room air each time you open it. The RMH is valuable in this because its primary function is not to heat air but to make a warm surface to sit on. I would suggest making the mass in/under the bed so you get maximum benefit from it overnight. Even if you are not sitting on the bed when awake, you will be right next to it most of the time.
In the extreme Arctic-like conditions you describe, I would expect a good amount of gusty weather, so an exit straight out a sidewall is likely to be a problem. You really want the chimney to go straight up inside to keep it warmer for good draft, and to position it where it will get the least gust effects. If it is within a few feet of the top center of the dome, and a few feet higher, it will be as well situated as possible.
Is there any kind of clay available in the vicinity of your build site? If so, you will have a simple job of constructing a mass cavity beneath the bed. If not, you might need to bring in some sheetmetal sections and fabricate a tight box to surround with stones. A 55 gallon barrel cut in half lengthwise and surrounded with stone would be a quick and effective means to do this.
Sizing: In general, a 6" diameter system is the smallest common size; a 4" system can sometimes be made to work well if built just right and tweaked, but it has severely limited output. In a more temperate climate, I might suggest close to 4" for such a small space, but I think you would be safer going with 6". If it generates too much heat for the space, you just need to run it for shorter periods to charge up the mass. You might want to burn a couple of times a day to cook anyway. By the way, how is the wood supply in your location? You can use small stuff, even spruce/fir if that is what grows there, but it will need to be dry. A smaller system is especially sensitive to this.
The exact dimensions of the combustion core will depend in part on your materials. Firebrick is an excellent choice, likely to outlast you. You will need good insulation surrounding a firebrick core, which can be rockwool, ceramic fiber blanket, perlite, or any fireproof material you have available. The feed tube, burn tunnel and heat riser should have similar shapes and sizes, like 5" x 5", 4 1/2" x 6", or whatever works. For the riser and possibly other areas, you can use firebrick splits (4 1/2" x 9" x 1 1/4") to minimize unhelpful mass in the unit and weight carried in. You would want a small steel barrel to go over the riser, any size that gives at least 1" at pinch points around the insulated riser and around 2" average, for good airflow. Remember the recommended ratio of 1:2:4 for feed tube height above burn tunnel floor, burn tunnel total length, and riser height above floor. The actual dimensions will depend on your barrel clearances and brick sizes. The burn tunnel can be as short as possible and still have working clearances.
Have you read the book Rocket Mass Heaters, third edition (or as a digital download from rocketstoves.com) yet? It gives a lot of details for construction in various conditions.

Google’s mobile search update could hit retailers hard
Through a special arrangement, what follows is an excerpt of an article from FierceRetail, an e-newsletter and website covering the latest retail technology news and analysis.
Google’s big search algorithm switch happened on Apr. 21, meaning mobile-friendly sites will enjoy the most searchability from mobile devices and retailers, especially small businesses without mobile-friendly sites, could take the biggest hit.
The new search algorithm was announced in February and will give higher rankings to sites that are mobile-friendly. For Google, that means sites are meeting five major criteria:
- Users don’t have to pinch and zoom to navigate;
- Incompatible software like Flash isn’t used;
- Text is large enough to read;
- Links and buttons are spaced out enough to be easily tapped, and;
Source: Google’s mobile-friendly test page
If your brand’s site meets all of those requirements, then you can relax. But according to research released by Somo last week, many major brands aren’t ready for "mobilegeddon" and will have to scramble to minimize the damage done to their traffic numbers. Based on Google’s own Mobile-Friendly Test tool, brands including American Apparel, Clairol, Versace and Cotton Traders were all set to be punished by the new algorithm.
And with Google accounting for so much search traffic, even major brands will take a hit. EBay lost 80 percent of its top rankings during the last algorithm update, and since the top spot in any search gets as many clicks as the next five combined, that’s a big loss.
But while all brands should be on the lookout for a drop in their rankings, Duda CEO Itai Sadan told Business Insider that small business owners could be the ones hit the hardest, since they are more likely to have missed the memo on the new searchability requirements.
Their dependence on local search results also makes them especially vulnerable because a drop in ranking among searches of, for example, coffee shops in San Francisco could result in a big drop in foot traffic.
"Google has always been about relevancy, and content is king," Mr. Sadan told Business Insider. "But that’s changing. Yes, they’re saying content is still extremely important, but user experience is just as important. It’s not sufficient to have all the right content. If people come to your site and the content is there but it’s not readable, that’s not good."
For now the algorithm change will only impact search results on phones, leaving tablet results unfazed. But considering that mobile now makes up about 60 percent of all digital traffic, retailers of all sizes should be ready to up their mobile game if their search ranking plummets in the coming days.

Is Google’s update of its mobile-friendly algorithm a big deal for retailers? At this point in the evolution of mobile commerce, how sophisticated do mobile retail websites need to be?

Country might be the dominant music in Nashville, but rock ‘n’ roll might better describe the energy and atmosphere at the second annual Material, Technology and Design Symposium @ CPA Fall Meeting in late September.
More than 300 people converged on Music City for this year’s event, which featured high-powered speakers, an inspirational trade show and two days of valuable industry networking that no doubt initiated some business deals and helped close others.
The lead acts at this year’s show were speakers Todd Bracher and Tom Wujec, both internationally known for creative thought, envelope-pushing innovation and strong market growth among their business clients.
Bracher, an acclaimed industrial designer who is founder and creative director of Todd Bracher Studio, pushed audience members to think in new ways with his presentation titled “Design for Strategic Differentiation.” Wujec, who is chief disruptor at Autodesk, the Oscar-winning industry leader in 3D computer animation technology and one of the world’s largest software companies, inspired attendees to look ahead in his talk “The Future of Making: Revolutionizing How We Imagine, Create & Distribute Products.”
Other top speakers included Stephanie Pierce, director of designs and trends at MasterBrand; Mayan Metzler and Michala Hlavackova of German Kitchen Center; and Greg Triplett, vice president of sales and marketing at Marlite. The final session featured a panel of top interior designers from Nashville discussing how and why they specify decorative surfaces.
The symposium is a high-powered, must-attend event that brings together leaders of the composite panel and decorative surfaces industries, along with users and specifiers of those products. For the second year, the symposium was co-sponsored by Surface & Panel magazine and the Composite Panel Association in conjunction with CPA’s Fall Meeting.
“The symposium has become a fixture of the CPA Fall Meeting in only its second year,” said Jackson Morrill, president of CPA. “The excellent speakers, diverse program and unparalleled networking opportunities have led to record attendance and rave reviews. We are excited to continue building on this early success by attracting wider participation from specifiers, designers and end users of decorative surfaces made with composite wood panels.”
Among attendees were CEOS, cabinet makers, component suppliers, distributors, furniture manufacturers, industry suppliers, interior designers and store fixture manufacturers.
“I truly believe this high-energy event hit all of the right notes,” said John Aufderhaar, publisher of Surface & Panel. “The speakers were engaging, provocative and inspiring. The exhibit hall offered great new ideas and concepts, and the networking was continuous and productive.”

My vehicle will not shift out of park.
This vehicle uses a shift interlock solenoid switch next to the brake light switch above the brake pedal. This switch needs to be checked to see if it is making contact when you push in on the brake pedal. Once the switch is checked or bypassed to test the system then you will know if the system works. I recommend having a mechanic, like one from YourMechanic, come and check why you can’t shift out of park.

Укрупненная модель эколого-экономической системы на примере Республики Армения
This article presents an integrated dynamic model of eco-economic system of the Republic of Armenia (RA). This model is constructed using system dynamics methods, which allow to consider the major feedback related to key characteristics of eco-economic system. Such model is a two-objective optimization problem where as target functions the level of air pollution and gross profit of national economy are considered. The air pollution is minimized due to modernization of stationary and mobile sources of pollution at simultaneous maximization of gross profit of national economy. At the same time considered eco-economic system is characterized by the presence of internal constraints that must be accounted at acceptance of strategic decisions. As a result, we proposed a systematic approach that allows forming sustainable solutions for the development of the production sector of RA while minimizing the impact on the environment. With the proposed approach, in
particular, we can form a plan for optimal enterprise modernization and predict long-term dynamics of harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

View a performance of “Kokosing Farewell” created by several decades of Chamber Singers alumni in honor of Kay Locke.
Kathleen “Kay” Locke, wife of Professor of Music Benjamin R. Locke and longtime member of the Kenyon and Gambier communities, died on May 26, 2020. A resident of the Ohio Eastern Star Home in Mount Vernon, where she had been treated for Parkinson’s disease, she was 81.
Born Kathleen Ruth Crawford, Kay was a native of Xenia, Ohio. She was a graduate of the University of Toledo. She and Ben were married in 1977.
Kay and Ben arrived in Gambier in 1984, when Ben joined Kenyon’s music faculty. As the head of the College’s vocal music program, he soon came to be known both on campus and beyond as the talented and much-admired conductor of the Kenyon Chamber Singers. He and Kay became famous for their almost weekly lasagna dinners for the College’s student singers.
“Kay championed generations of Kenyon students,” said Scott Baker ’94, a former Chamber Singer who served for many years as the College’s head of alumni and parent engagement. “She regularly invited us into her home, and she was a comforting presence during rehearsals and performances both on campus and on the road, always with encouragement before and a compliment to share after. Her caring presence was felt throughout the community, and she loved to stay connected with everyone well past their formative years on the Hill. We shared so many good times and laughs together. I will miss her deeply.”
In 2015, the Kathleen “Kay” Locke Community Service Prize in Music was established in her honor. It is now presented annually, at Kenyon’s Honors Day Convocation, to a student or students “who have provided outstanding service to the College community through their musical activities.”
A musician herself, Kay played the flute in the Knox County Symphony, which Ben has now conducted for 37 years. She also sang in the Kenyon Community Choir, again under her husband’s direction. An avid naturalist as well, with a strong interest in ecology, she served for many years as a volunteer at the Gorman Nature Center in nearby Mansfield.
Over the years, from 1986 through 2007, Kay held a number of staff positions, both long-term and temporary, at the College. Among the many departments, people, programs and offices that benefited from her multifarious abilities and skills were the old Academic Computing Services, the chaplain, the Integrated Program in Humane Studies, the Kenyon Bookstore and the Office of the Registrar.
“Kay twice accepted invitations to fill in as our office administrator in public affairs while we conducted searches,” remembered Tom Stamp ’73, a former director of that office. “She was a marvel of efficiency, an excellent editor and proofreader, and a calm and cheerful presence at even our most harried moments. Both times Kay worked with us we offered her the job on a permanent basis, but both times she politely declined. All of us loved her.”
Love for Kay was something shared by many in Gambier and led by her husband. Ben recently commissioned composer and songwriter Andrea Daly ’06, a former student, to write “Beloved,” a piece dedicated to Kay that has now been recorded by the Chamber Singers. Painstakingly produced under the distancing restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic, it can be heard and seen on Daly’s YouTube channel here.
“Kay touched my life profoundly while I was at Kenyon,” said Daly. “‘Beloved’” was my attempt to capture her energy, wit, charm and tenderness in music. I’m grateful that she got to hear it.”
“While I never knew Kay well, I have always been inspired by the obvious depth of Ben’s love for her,” said David Hoyt ’14, digital content editor in the College’s Office of Communications and a member of the Knox County Symphony both now and as a student. “Orchestral scores are usually marked by a series of alphabetical waypoints to help the musicians find their place, and in rehearsals, whenever Ben instructed the ensemble to begin playing at letter K, he would always add as an aside that it was his ‘favorite letter.’ I never once doubted that this was true.”
Kay is survived by her husband of more than 40 years; four sons, Michael Myers, David Myers, Jeffrey Myers and Daniel Myers; six grandchildren, including Amber Krabach and James Myers, both of whom grew up in Gambier; three great-grandchildren; three sisters, Constance Bergquist, Sallie Spears and Margaret Sarracino; and several nephews and nieces. Following a private graveside service, burial was in the Kokosing Nature Preserve.
“The entire Kenyon community, past and present, has lost a beautiful friend,” remarked Sally Rogan P’83 GP’23, a longtime friend and former Gambier resident who now lives in Mesa, Arizona. “We join in celebrating her beautiful life of service as we mourn her loss. May memories of her shining face continue to inspire the music of Gambier Hill.”
Memorial contributions may be made to the College’s Department of Music at gift.kenyon.edu or in care of the Advancement Division, 105 Chase Avenue, Gambier, Ohio 43022-9623, or to the Knox County Symphony, P.O. Box 454, Mount Vernon, Ohio 43050.
Plans for a memorial gathering will be announced at a later date.


Vegas area passes 73-year record, tallying 103 rainless days
LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas is seeing a dry spell that the National Weather Service says has now broken a 73-year record for consecutive days with no rain.
Monday was day 103, with no rain in the forecast for at least the next week, says Andy Gorelow, a weather service meteorologist.
The region on Sunday broke a 101-day streak that had stood since 1944.
Gorelow notes there were light sprinkles last week in some neighborhoods, but not at the official weather service measuring station at McCarran International Airport.
He attributes the dry spell to lingering high pressure in the Great Basin of Nevada, caused by a seasonal La Niña weather system over the Pacific Ocean.
The next record ahead could be 150 days without measurable precipitation, which the weather service counts as rainfall more than 0.01 inch (0.25 millimeter). That record was set in 1959.

I can never figure out if these Gary Brecher things are real or if it’s some weird sort of Onion-ish thing, but this quote is worth noting:
The kids in Iran are pissed off at the way the old Mullahs won’t let ’em rock and roll, but the idea that they’ll support an American invasion because they’re bored is totally insane. It’s like imagining that the kids in Footloose would’ve backed a Soviet invasion of Nebraska because John Lithgow wouldn’t let them hold school dances.
The truth is that Footloose would have turned into Red Dawn pretty quickly. And, for that very reason, I don’t support the idea of a general ground war in Iran. Air strikes? Probably. Commando raids? Maybe. But a massive invasion at this point seems absurd. And I’m not sure who thinks that’s what’s possible.

Can anyone advise me if there is a way to change the orientation of the fretted instrument panel / display from right handed player to left hand player in Dorico Pro 4. ? Not so much for the finished product more for ease of use as a lefty.
There’s no direct way to do this in one click, but you could always use the Edit Strings and Tuning dialog to set up an instrument with the strings in the reverse order, perhaps?
I will certainly try this out.
Thanks for your help.
An elegant solution. You have to love Dorico!

- The Christie’s auction listing for Shen the Tyrannosaurus rex was pulled before a planned November 30 auction due to questions around its authenticity.
- Replica bones from Stan, another T. rex, were used to create Shen, but the original listing did not disclose this.
- Now, Shen is headed for further study at a museum.
Christie’s has pulled an upcoming Hong Kong auction of a more than 3,000-pound Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton named Shen. Expected to fetch between $15 million and $25 million, Shen will be a no-show after the auction house delisted the specimen following questions about its authenticity.
🦕 You love dinos. So do we. Let’s nerd out over them together—join Pop Mech Pro.
James Hyslop, Christie’s head of science and natural history, earlier claimed that “from its surging, bloodthirsty stance, to its remarkable preservation, [Shen] is one of the most scientifically studied T. rex skeletons to come to auction.” But any buyer would have gotten less than they bargained for, according to Peter Larson, president of the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research. He discovered that the 40-foot-long Shen actually appears to include replica parts—including its skull—from another T. rex skeleton, Stan.
Larson told The New York Times that when he looked at Shen, he noticed the similarity to Stan, especially in the shape of the skull and unique holes in the jaw. It seemed clear that parts of Shen were completed using replicas of Stan’s bones. (The Black Hills Institute sells replica casts of Stan, so Larson is familiar with them.) “They’re using Stan to sell a dinosaur that’s not Stan,” Larson told the newspaper. “It’s very misleading.” He said that it appeared to him that the owner of Shen, whom Christie’s did not identify, had bought a cast of Stan from the Black Hills Institute to supplement the original bones.
More From Popular Mechanics
Shen initially stirred excitement as an obtainable, quality scientific specimen. After Black Hills Institute contacted the auction house this fall, Christie’s added a clarification in the online posting to note that pieces of Shen were casts from Stan. Finally, Christie’s announced this past Sunday that it is pulling the listing altogether.
A Christie’s statement provided to Popular Mechanics states the skeleton is headed for an alternate destiny. “After consultation with the consignor of the Tyrannosaurus rex scheduled for sale on 30 November in Hong Kong, Christie’s has decided to withdraw the lot,” according to the statement. “The consignor has now decided to loan the specimen to a museum for public display.”
Shen’s backstory starts at the Hell Creek Formation in McCone County, Montana, where it was unearthed. A Christie’s news release from September said it had been part of various research studies at the University of Manchester’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences in England.
Chicago’s Field Museum says a T. rex would have about 380 bones; Christie’s said 80 of Shen’s bones were original, according to the BBC. In the release promoting the sale, Christie’s said that Shen was 54 percent complete, as measured by bone density.
The most recent T. rex auction, also a Christie’s sale, was in 2020 in New York. During that event, Stan the T. rex broke records, selling for $31.8 million to an unknown buyer, though the 3D replica rights remained with Black Hills Institute. That’s more than twice the $8.36 million sale price paid by the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago for Sue the T. rex in 1997, after adjusting for inflation—it would cost about $15.4 million in today’s money.
With the growing popularity of dinosaur bones among private collectors, the rising prices of these types of auctions generally push museums and research institutions out of the bidding and move sales to private sellers. This was potentially the hope of Shen’s anonymous seller when promoting a hybrid version of a T. rex as a fully authentic skeleton.

There was a poster on the wall of the Office I cleaned this morning. It was entitled “How to Have a Happy Life”. Now I didn’t have time to actually stop and read it, but a couple of lines caught my eye.
I gather the sentiments expressed on the poster were penned by a Vet – a piece of advice on how to have a happy life based on the example of the behaviour of man’s best friend – the dog.
One of the sentences which really jumped out at me was something along the lines of this:-
Always rush to meet your friends and family with undisguised joy and affection. Never be afraid to let them know how happy you are to see them.
It’s so true, isn’t it? Our doggie friends will bound to greet us with unabashed enthusiasm – even if we have only been gone for an hour. They never meet us at the gate and launch into a tirade about how we left them home alone all day, or how we obviously forgot to bring home their favourite snacks yet again. All they really care about is that we are home with them once again.
Another of the lines said something about taking every opportunity to frolic in the fresh air and sunshine. Have you ever watched a dog when he is released to go for a run? The animal is almost beside itself with excitement – rushing hither and thither exploring, sniffing, trying to take in everything at once. And no matter how many times you take the dog for a walk, along the same path, he will do the same thing. He will never stop and sit on his haunches and yawn because he is bored with the same old, same old.
The last little gem of wisdom I gleaned from this hastily scanned poster was a sentence about allowing people to touch you. Dogs, in general, loved to be touched. They will come and push their velvety noses into your hand to get a pat, or plant their head in your lap and look up into your face with those big brown eyes until you give in. They are not in the least ashamed to come and beg for attention when they feel the need for it, just as they are never hesitant to give their undivided attention to you.
I’m not actually a dog lover. I don’t intend to start launching myself at my husband when he comes home and furiously licking his face, or galloping along the footpath sniffing the bushes. But maybe I could be a little less inhibited in my enjoyment and enthusiasm for life and my loved ones.
How about you?
