The farewell begins
In a video posted early Tuesday (Eastern time), a clearly emotional Cousins talked about leaving Sacramento.
"My love for the city has never changed," he said. "Even though I'm gone it'll still be the same. You know, I'm still looking out for these kids. Every family in the city matters to me. Every soul in this city matters to me. Everything's the same, I'm just not in a Kings uniform anymore. Which is OK because the love is still here."

Final thoughts before leaving Sacramento
Cousins talked to the Sacramento media before boarding the New Orleans Pelicans owner's private plane.
"It's been emotional the past two days. It's been hard to kind of gather myself because everything's happened so fast," he said. "But I'm excited. It's not easy dealing with change. I'm going to deal with it in stride … just move forward, stay positive. Go in with an open mindset … help this team try to make this playoffs."
On whether he feels he has unfinished business in Sacramento:
"It does. I may not have impacted in wins and losses the way I wanted to but I did in a lot of other ways. I can kind of leave satisfied with that. Just because I leave it doesn't mean anything changes. I still got love for the city. I still got love for the fans. That'll never change. I still consider this place a home. Only thing that changes is the name on the front of the jersey."
Does Cousins wonder if there is anything he could have changed to help the Kings?
"Everybody does that throughout life, but at the same time I don't regret anything. Everything I've been through has helped me grow as a person, so I'm in a good place. I learn from my mistakes."
Has he taken the trade and how it went down personally?
"I'm OK with it," he said. "I kind of expected it. I've seen it before. I'm moving on."

Headed to New Orleans
While Cousins and fellow new Pelican Omri Casspi were en route to New Orleans, the Pelicans released the following statement from owner Tom Benson:
"I could not be more excited to add DeMarcus Cousins and Omri Casspi to the Pelicans. I know that everyone is thrilled with the anticipation of DeMarcus and Anthony (Davis) and Jrue (Holiday) and the rest of our team hitting the floor tomorrow night against the Houston Rockets.
"We are only a few games behind in the playoff hunt and I want to bring an NBA championship to this city. I think this trade puts us in a position where we are now more improved and can make a run.
"The NBA All-Star weekend was a great weekend for New Orleans and Anthony was a worthy MVP, and then we topped it off with a trade for one of the best players in the NBA.
"I was appreciative of Mickey (Loomis) for keeping me updated daily during the trade talks and I was 110% behind the decision. I hope all of our fans welcome DeMarcus and Omri with open arms to our great city."

"Words can't even express how hard it is for me to have to leave the city of Sacramento and all of the amazing people that I have met while out here. I gave it my all for you and you gave it right back. The most amazing fans on the planet and I just want you to know that your support has meant everything to me. It's hard to believe that it was seven years ago that this young kid from Alabama showed up in Sacramento scared and not knowing a soul. As I look back upon my time here, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I have met so many amazing people, many of whom went out of their way to make me feel right at home from day one. Each and every one of you have played such an important part in my life and helping me become the person I am today. I don't just consider you all as fans, you all are my family...and a couple thousand miles aren't going to change a thing. Thank you Sacramento."

Cousins' first interview in New Orleans
Cousins and Casspi spoke with Joel Meyers, the Pelicans' play-by-play announcer, soon after arriving in New Orleans.
He asked Cousins about being close to his hometown of Mobile, Ala.:
"I'm close to family. It's a quick drive, so I'm excited for the whole experience," Cousins said. "This is basically home for me. A lot of family will be here. You might be a little overwhelmed."
On playing with fellow former Wildcat Anthony Davis:
"He is (like a little brother). We didn't get a chance to play together at UK, but we still formed a bond throughout these years. I think this is a special thing we're forming right now. I'm excited about the opportunity. The good thing about me and A.D. is outside of basketball we have a great relationship. I think that will follow over onto the court and we can make some things happen."

8 Steps You Should Try To Look Fabulous!
A bit of shimmery shadow in the inner corners of your eyes and under your brow, plus some highlighting product on your cheekbones will refresh your whole look. Although it is merely an optical illusion, but sometimes we need to look good even though we feel stressed.
Get more sleep. Go to bed at 10 p.m. once in a while. An 8-hour sleep is what most doctors advise we should do. At night our body restores itself. Do not distract it from doing its work and the next morning you will wake up looking and feeling much better. Having healthy sleep means having a healthy body.
Mascara is a real 'eye-opener'. It makes your eyes bigger hence you look alert and refreshed. There are plenty of various mascara formulas. Pick one to your taste. For even a better effect use a curler before you apply your favorite mascara. You can do with one coat only just fine. Or you may apply two coats to make your eyes more expressive.

If my memory serves me correctly, this is the first WAGS since the 28th Feb, the others were cancelled due to weather conditions. This one looked in doubt on Tuesday Night with a strong wind warning predicted for the Wednesday but was downgraded on Wednesday morning. The winds on the day were from the South East initially around the 15Knt mark but picking up during the afternoon. Gusts on the last windward leg reaching upwards of 25Knts.
Nine boats out on the day with Asgard the first away. Being a south easterly it was a port course, down to Dbay Red, around Caboolture Yellow and back to the finish. Double D was taking the logons and we needed to confirm our start times. Greg was sailing with Dave and came back with a start time for us at 1500Hrs. Was said in good humour and we eventually got our correct start time.
We made up ground on the first two legs and were coming up behind Rooger down the second leg who was in good tussle with OD from the other race. I think Rooger was ahead of him at the Yellow. Well done Rooger as OD is a fairly quick boat. The later starters like Sentier and Catalina were steadily gaining ground on the fleet.
We rounded Caboolture Yellow on Port tack came up onto the wind and went in as far as we could go before tacking onto Starboard for the run home. The wind was picking up by this stage. Looked behind and Sentier was coming home at a rate of Knts. He would probably have beaten us only i think the barge got in the way. We had problems with Double Black Diamond who had finished his race, had sails down and was crossing in front of us. We were hard on the wind to make the mark and he made no effort or gave any indication that he would keep clear. We eased off and went behind him. This is not the first time we have had a run in with him.
It was a good day for the multi-hulls filling the first four places. About Time came home in fourth place.

"Goodie Two Shoes" by Sayed Sabrina
Posted on September 18, 2019 by mindymccall in Reviews // 0 Comments
"Goodie Two Shoes" by Sayed Sabrina, is a hot blues cut with a lot of other musical inflections of the same family of genres, including Soul and Jazz with plenty of Pop and Rock attitude. The video is also a no frills, stripped back performance thing that suits it right down to the last note before she directs viewers to her channel. Just one listen to the audio track and you are hooked, especially if you like to dance and kick it to big diva style vocals because she's no new comer on the music scene and goes back a ways to when everything was more exposed.
URL: https://www.sayedsabrina.com/
The description going around about "Goodie Two Shoes" covers the brass factors and gritty-based backbone, but it's a good idea to see all that in action by watching the video. This is a song with plenty of miles to go whether listening or watching, so it takes its own prize for that where others can aim well but still miss. The single comes from Thou Art That, a new disc featuring the likes of Bobby Watson, Sarah Morrow (Dr. John, Ray Charles), Gary Herbig (Elvis, Tower of Power), Carlos De La Paz and Bryan Head, and it leads in respective fashion.
It takes a lot of bravery to do anything in today's music industry without feeling like you are either trying to hard to reinvent the wheels are not trying hard enough. The outcome makes for a lot of garage- style indie music that doesn't shine the way Sayed Sabrina does, but her music is produced with the best of 'em. This is obviously because Sabrina's a seasoned musician and singer with an illustrious background to show for it. But seeing and hearing is everything, so do both and get both on an equal level.
The video matches the song with views of the workmanship in the recording studio with the vibe showing what went into the song from a studio performance perspective. If that doesn't bring out the best in any song, I don't know what can because it sure beats watching some mini movie video. Not much more can be said about something you can listen to and watch yourself, but I can enthusiastically express the artist lives up to her name and delivers the goods here. The rest speaks volumes for itself once you check it out, which is another way of recommending it.
You'll want to discover more music by Sayed Sabrina, with tracks like "The Pedestrian" and the longer track "Star Shines" for more of where this comes from once it lights the way. You can get the idea just how jazzy and funky she is by doing this, and it just helps get a better measure of the magnitude of this superior singer who only works with the best musicians and producers. "Goodie Two Shoes" can be appreciated a lot more with that little chance to familiarize with the artist, and that's always better to do than not.

When many of us think of taking an exotic vacation to southeast Asia, we imagine ourselves admiring the misty mountains, and fields of rice paddies accented with palm trees. Feeling the dampness in the air, the roosters crowing and the cows mooing. We spot local farmers in the fields, families on motorbikes, and kids playing in a river.
These wonderful experiences allow us to escape our busy lives.
And the only thing that makes this experience more relaxing is to spend it at an exotic luxury hotel, where you can soak in this sights, sounds, and smells of southeast Asia while being pampered with service and the perfect environment. After staying at some amazing hotels around the world, we were impressed to have this experience in Vang Vieng, Laos at the incredible Riverside Boutique Resort.
As travelers, we enjoy a wide variety of accommodation options. But sometimes the accommodation is what makes the experience unique. While we're not overly picky or pretentious about service and quality, we both studied hospitality in school and thoroughly appreciate a good experience — whether it is at a budget hotel, B&B, Airbnb (we love those too), or even a luxurious hotel.
You would expect to be impressed with the service at a luxury hotel — but sadly, not every luxury hotel holds up this part of the bargain. However, our stay at the Riverside Boutique Hotel in Vang Vieng not only met our expectations, but they exceeded them…consistently. In the end, this is what impressed us the most about this beautiful resort in Laos.
A high level of customer service and consistency is what every hotel, especially luxury hotels, strive for. That can be difficult anywhere, but complicating matters is that we are in southeast Asia. A place where service standards, expectations, and cultural norms are different.
At the Riverside Boutique Resort, we were please to see a local Lao staff who had been trained superbly and provided us with one of the absolute best hotel experiences that we have ever had.
Whenever we are in a hot destination and arrive at a hotel, I can't tell you how great it feels to be greeted with genuinely smiling faces, and handed a refreshing cold beverage. Just that tiny act makes you feel special!
At the Riverside Boutique Resort in Vang Vieng, this beverage was a local hibiscus tea. With it's dark red color, I initially thought it was some kind of wine. The taste was a bit tangy and tart. We were surprised to learn it is technically a tea, because it really looked and tasted more like a juice. It was a rich tasting tea, yet it it had a light aftertaste that was refreshing.
Made onsite by the hotel chefs, this local tea was a wonderful way to be greeted on a super hot day in Laos!
While sipping our drink, the receptionists checked us in and chatted with us about local activities. They told us about the free bikes outside, which we were welcome to take for a ride across the bridge and into the village and surrounding countryside. They also talked about some upcoming festivals that we shouldn't miss.
After check in, our hosts led us outside and immediately when we opened the doors, we gasped at the scene. We stepped into a magnificent courtyard, surrounded by lush a landscape of flowers and trees…and the focal point was an inviting swimming pool that overlooked the river and majestic karst mountains. It really was like a curtain was pulled back, and we were transported into this perfect scene.
A welcome view for sure!
The view itself is amazing, the but the vibrant colors of the impeccably garden really make it come to life. An array of flowering trees and bushes surrounded the walkways, framing every glimpse of the pool, river and mountains perfectly as if you are always ready to take a photo.
The swimming pool really is the centerpiece to this resort, because it brings your attention to the primary attraction…the views! On hot days like when we visited, the crisp water of the pool and the padded loungers, umbrellas, tables, and carefully folded towels beckoned us to relax in this little oasis.
And as if taking a dip and admiring the view doesn't make you feel spoiled enough, the moment you sit yourself on a lounger there is a dutiful waiter already bringing you a cold cup of refreshing water, or whatever else you may want to order off the bar or snack menu. Again, all about that service!
I can't tell you how great it felt to relax in that pool and gaze out at the scenery all around me. After a long day out exploring the natural scenery around Vang Vieng (which is amazing), it felt good to just soak it all up. Listening to the sound of the river, birds, and wind blowing through the palm trees, I felt ultimately at peace and had time to really think about my experience in Laos.
As if the pool and view wasn't beautiful enough during the day, one evening I looked out my window and was delighted to see that the staff had placed evenly-spaced candles all around the pool!
Glimmering in the dark and reflecting off the pool, this simple yet magical effect is probably something I will remember the most about my visit to the Riverside Boutique Resort in Vang Vieng. This scene combined with the lovely lanterns high in the tree beyond the pool and over the restaurant, epitomizes the spirit of this hotel.
It was truly a scene that I will never forget. And each evening, I stayed out on the balcony by myself, sitting in a chair, having a cup of tea and just admiring the never ending beauty that surrounded me.
One of the things that we love the most about staying at the Riverside Boutique Resort is the way they embrace the local Lao culture and integrate it into every aspect of the hotel. Some hotel rooms are just that, and are the same anywhere you travel in the world.
When we travel, we want to be reminded at all times where we are & feel immersed in the experience.
So it goes beyond having a local staff or traditional food in the restaurant. It's about the art and décor.
Our room – we enjoyed the local touches and crafts, including the wall art, handmade pillows, curtains, and bed runners with little beads sewn in!
That's what we really loved about the hotel rooms at the Riverside Boutique Resort. The actually have six styles of rooms, each of which pays respect to a particular group of Lao people and their culture and traditions. From the Hmong, Akha, Tai Lue, Tai Daeng, Lanten, and the Kutu (the style of room that we had).
The rooms at the Riverside Boutique Resort in Vang Vieng are specious, modern, comfortable, but more importantly, they give you the sense that you are in Laos. It's not just a cookie cutter hotel room, but a connection to the local area.
The furnishings were natural wood and rattan, keeping with the natural feel and elements. The neutral colors were calming, and we enjoyed the touches of color and greenery with the art and plants. It really was peaceful and relaxing the moment we stepped into the room.
The accents in the room are really what set it a part from others we've stayed in. Being themed for local tribes in Laos, they have incorporated elements of art, tapestry, crafts, and colors of the tribes, and even include a handout in the room describing the local people and the heritage. This was perfect for us, because we enjoy reading about the local culture – including arts and crafts. So it was really cool to be able to relax in our room and read all about the different pieces of decor surrounding us.
The pillows, bed runners, and curtains were all handmade from local artisans using traditional methods. They even included beads within the tapestry, a traditional design for the Kutu group. In fact, learning the details about the artistry for each ethnic group in Laos here at the Riverside Boutique actually helped me to understand what I was seeing in the local markets as we traveled throughout Laos.
So it was wonderful to be able to learn about this in my hotel room!
We truly loved this aspect about the hotel, because we are curious travelers who really enjoy not only learning about the local culture and history, but feeling like we can participate in it in a natural way. These accents gave the room and homey yet exotic feeling, knowing every moment that we are in beautiful Laos and not any other country.
Also, the décor is a great opportunity to enable the local community to participate in the industry and demonstrate their traditions. And the gift shop at the resort showcases many of the accents you can find in your room and beyond. From the artwork, to the textiles, accessories, and much more. We enjoyed browsing the shop ourselves, and of course bought something to remember our trip!
A Modern Hotel Room & That Balcony!
We found the room to have everything we needed, even a great seating, table and work area. Modern amenities included a great bathroom with wonderful hot water and pressure, a minibar, coffee and tea maker, robes and slippers, great WiFi (not always easy to find in Laos), and a smart tv — which we always love because we can plug in our USB and watch our movies.
Yes — this really was the view from our balcony! WOW!
The balconies and terraces at the Riverside Boutique Resort in Vang Vieng are really something special. Ours, like many others, overlooked the pool, river and mountains. This large balcony with comfy lounging chairs and a table was used often by us during our visit (even though it was so hot) because the views never get old. Morning, day or night…we loved sitting out there listening to nature's sounds and gazing out at the view.
This is why we came to Laos.
The Riverside Boutique's Restaurant and AMAZING Breakfast!
The Restaurant du Crabe d'Or is perched above the bar, and has panoramic views over the property – including the pool and garden area, as well as out over the river and the mountains across the way. You can sit indoors, or outdoors and admire the views. At night, the large towering tree near the restaurant is lit up with lanterns from top to bottom – adding even more to the wonderful setting.
That's quite the breakfast spread!
With a wide menu that includes Lao specialties and western favorites, the menu is diverse in it's offering and prices. In the morning, there is also a free (and massive) breakfast for guests that included cooked-to-order omelettes, fruits, salads, soups, breads, cheeses, juices coffee and more. During our stay we found the food to be exceptionally good.
Lap – one of our favorite Lao dishes!
The service at the restaurant made us feel like we were dining in a quality establishment in a big city, not in the Lao countryside. While you can walk to restaurants around town, we found that the food quality, service, and atmosphere here at the Restaurant du Crabe d' Or was fantastic.
Also, the prices we thought were quite reasonable for the area — a bonus when you are staying at a hotel of this nature. So we definitely recommend eating at the hotel during your stay (or even if you are staying elsewhere)!
The Nam Song bar near the pool has a lovely air conditioned inside area, with relaxing seating areas and local art on display, while the outside has tables and chairs alongside the river. A particularly great place to have a drink and watch the sunset.
In fact, each night the hotel has a "welcome" cocktail hour where the staff relax with you and chat about the resort, nearby activities, and your visit. It's a very comfortable atmosphere, and one that we really loved.
It felt like you got to know the different staff members, and removes the barriers of a desk or bar.
Having a wonderful chat with the staff during the nightly sunset cocktail hour!
This is a really cool way to not only get to know each other, but it is helpful if you have questions or want to make some plans. There are so many things to do in Vang Vieng, it can actually be a little overwhelming! So it's good to get some recommendations from the staff.
They can also help you with any kind of arrangements and bookings. They even partner with Green Discovery, a local tour operator in the area with a diverse offering and great reputation. But even if you want to rent a motorbike and explore on your own, they can advise you on how to go about it and where you should explore.
Over the course of our visit, we were continuously impressed with the service and attention to detail at the resort. From the moment we walked in the door and were handed our welcome drink, to our cocktail hour chatting with the staff, the pool attendants who handed us water almost immediately when we sat down, to the wait staff at the restaurant who perfectly attended to our needs.
We were greeted everywhere we went with smiling, genuinely helpful faces.
We felt welcomed, we felt spoiled.
The property itself is beautiful, and in a convenient location. The hotel can help arrange transportation to and from the bus station, but it's actually just a short 10 minute walk into the center of town. However, the town of Vang Vieng isn't really the highlight of the area. It's really all about nature.
A beautiful evening to stroll the gardens at the resort!
The river, the mountains, the caves, villages, the rice fields, and people. This is what Vang Vieng is really all about. The Riverside Boutique Hotel is also in a great location to take advantage of these many natural attractions. Being on the river, you are close to activities and kayaking tours. And you are also near one of the main toll bridges in the area that goes over the water to a village and the most wonderful rural valley! This is actually the same road that goes to the famous Blue Lagoon too – a great place to go swimming!
So hop on one of their free bikes and take a ride across the river, and be deep in the heart of rural Laos.
The free breakfast was wonderful every morning, and the free welcome cocktail was just a wonderful bonus too. They are also building an outdoor sala so that they can offer outdoor massages too. Certainly, we would have loved to experience one of those…so maybe we'll just have to return?!?!
All that's missing is YOU from this picture!
Overall, we would highly recommend a stay at the Vang Vieng Riverside Boutique Resort for anyone traveling to Laos who has a taste for luxury and appreciates a high level of service. We can attest that the service was top notch and consistent, by far one of the best hotel experiences we have had. The hotel should be proud of their commitment not only to guest service, but also to the local community. We really appreciated the way they embrace the culture and bring it into the resort so the guests can feel connected to the region. We were impressed every moment and thank them for their hospitality in hosting us for an incredible visit!

The Johnny Mercer lyric that constitutes my title has a deeper meaning for me than his inspiration, the Savannah River. I was recently reminded of the song in an essay, written by Catholic columnist, Peggy Noonan, for the Wall Street Journal.
Entitled An American Song, an American Crisis, her piece was more about the sorry state of American society with its home grown terrorism, its armed violence and random killings. And perhaps between the lines, one might feel her loss of faith in experiencing a peaceful America in her lifetime. Her thoughts turn almost to a state of panic as she urges us to just do something, whether or not it may work or not. The frequent violence has sent her into a deep, dark funk that even songs like Moon River only remind her of an America that was no more.
To her, Mercer's Moon River represented the nostalgic state of an America on the move, especially among its immigrants. As she writes, the song comports with my sense of America as a vast place settled by people from somewhere else, most of whom were on a losing strain—no money, no prospects. As visualized in Moon River, they changed that by moving West or as Mercer put it …I'm crossing in style.
Noonan also sees Moon River as a classic song of yearning and loneliness. Though I wasn't aware of it until I read her piece, right after college, the song perfectly underscored my Biblical loneliness and my yearning for God to send me my Eve.
When I finally found her in Charleston, Missouri, Moon River quickly became the first of a trio of Andy William's hits in the sixties that served as our songs for Judy and me in 1966, just before our August wedding. The Mercer hit was a perfect fit with William's Dear Heart and Almost There. They collectively provided the human energy and feelings that got us to cross the river that separated single people from a married couple and over 50 years of marriage.
Judy and I visited Mercer's hometown and his river on two occasions. The first was many years ago as part of a Tauck Tour that included Charleston, South Carolina as well. I remember our arrival night in March and the damp afternoon of touring the city. It was St. Patrick's Day and the city, despite the rain, was festooned with green and hordes of visitors, including three of New York City's finest.
In 2016, for some inexplicable reason, Judy wanted to revisit both of those cities.
Since we usually vacationed with her sister and husband, we had to go in July. That particular Summer, it was beastly hot, and my wife had not been feeling well as it was. I believe the seeds of her October demise were sown during those torrid days in the South.
Shortly after her death, the yearning and the loneliness returned with a vengeance. Ten months after Judy died, after a special trip to the statue of the Blessed Mother in the nearby Carmelite Monastery, I met my Anna. From that moment on, the native Sicilian became the light of my second life. We were married five months later on the Feast of the Epiphany.
While Anna and I never had a song or songs like Judy and me, unless you count Volare, which is the only popular Italian song I knew, surprisingly there was a Moon River connection.
During our courtship, we took a late October trip to Savannah with her youngest child, Grace, and her husband, Bill. They lived in suburban Atlanta. This time, we all took a peaceful boat ride to experience the Moon River in daylight regrettably.
On a significant side note, Savannah was also the birthplace of one of Catholicism's most brilliant writers, the Christian Realist, Flannery O'Connor, who died of Lupus in 1964 at the age of 39. During that exhausting July trip, I left Judy and her family and walked several blocks in the wet heat as sort of a one-man pilgrimage to find the childhood home of this saintly woman at 207 East Charlton St.
Inspired by her imaginative work, I now see the moon over the Savannah River as God's nightlight for me and my two wives. The river is a heavenly sign that connects all three of us in a mysterious union that has constituted and unified all the joys of my life. And to fall back on Johnny Mercer lyrics a bit, we're all after the same rainbow's end…Moon River and me, which for us ends happily in Heaven for the three of us I pray.

Zinedine Zidane somewhat surprisingly started Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez on the wings and the two combined to set up Ronaldo for the killer goal in the second half, as the Portugal star kept up his run of scoring in every game in this season's competition.
Paris Saint-Germain will attempt to overturn a 3-1 deficit when they host Real Madrid in their heavyweight Champions League last-16 second leg on Tuesday (21:45 SA time), but do so without the injured Neymar.
"What makes me proud is seeing everybody's efforts".
France forward Kylian Mbappe hit PSG's fourth in first half stoppage time, while captain Thiago Silva completed the rout with a towering header from a corner in the 82nd minute.
"It's going be difficult and we are going to face big teams from now but we keep working to achieve big things".
"We are relaxed about it. It is more of an issue outside the club than inside".
Manager Unai Emery appears to be on the brink and has come under fire from one of his own players after attacker Julian Draxler went public following his exclusion from the last 16 tie on Tuesday night.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro scored for the defending European champions.
"PSG is a sound project".
Emery's contract expires in June and it seems highly unlikely he will get another one.
Marquinhos, another Brazilian, appears to be a surer defender and is 10 years younger. Mendilibar's side put five past a disinterested Sevilla a few weeks ago and held Zidane's team in the Bernabeu last season. "We need to calm ourselves and think about how we can improve the team". It's Champions League and the whole world is watching.
As fans we ingest the optimism galvanised by PSG's wonderfully creative social media team.
City really struggled to cope with the 23-year-old and his trickery in one v one situations really caught the eye - the winner exemplifying his talent.
Zidane told a press conference: "Gareth is not lacking anything".

Song Review: Luke Bryan – "Knockin' Boots"
The short version: As it turns out, boots were made for walkin' instead of knockin'.
Writers: Jon Nite, Hillary Lindsey, Gordie Sampson
The long version: We've reached a point in time where Luke Bryan is harmless. Between the lackluster chart runs of recent hits like "Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset" and "What Makes You Country" and the fact that his last album was released in December 2017 (the worst time of year to release an album), Bryan's star power isn't what it used to be.
And considering his newest single, "Knockin' Boots" was released with essentially no fanfare behind it, you have to wonder if Bryan's team is just trying to figure out what's next for him. Bro-country is long-dead, and Bryan has already tried his hand at the new "authenticity" trend plaguing country music.
If "Knockin' Boots" is an indication of anything, though, it's that Bryan and his team have no clue what to try anymore. As such, the song offers nothing new to Bryan's catalog you haven't heard before. While it's not a disaster like his worst material, "Knockin' Boots" is oddly forgettable for a lead single, and that just may be worse for him overall.
Restrained is one word to describe the song's production, but I'd say hollow is a better one. Bryan's voice is pushed to the front of the mix while he's guided by finger snaps to create what feels like his take on modern doo-wop. I suppose points are in order for taking the odd route of focusing heavily on the percussion, but there's something about "Knockin' Boots" that just feels empty. Sure, an electric guitar permeates after the song's choruses, but this is a song that largely feels unfinished and, more importantly, unexciting.
In terms of the content, there's not much here either. The song's lyrical structure coasts on a repeated formula of "this (insert item name here) needs (insert other item name here)," and from there, it's essentially the country music edition of Mad Libs for pretty much every item you'd expect in a Bryan song. It's rarely troubling, save for the line about guys needing girls to kiss and love them (they're capable of doing other things you know), but to repeat the money line with this review, it's rarely exciting.
There have certainly been worse songs released in country music this year, but "Knockin' Boots" is easily the most pointless song I've heard all year, which is arguably worse. At least the bad tracks will be remembered. With "Knockin' Boots," it's as if Bryan understands his influence is fading and doesn't know how to branch out in a new or interesting direction. Overall, "Knockin' Boots" is perfectly skippable.

US: Helpful Guidance From Judge Bryson Regarding Stays Pending IPR

Abstract Ideas and the USPTO

Tagged with IP Litigation, IPR, Judge Bryson, PTAB, Samsung, stay motion, Texas, US patents, USPTO, USPTO Guidance
Judge Bryson of the Federal Circuit, sitting by designation in the Eastern District of Texas, issued one of the clearest articulations to date in favor of granting a stay pending inter partes review.[1] Notably, in this case, claim construction had ended, discovery was nearly complete, and trial was set to begin in three months. The defendant, Samsung, had recently joined an instituted IPR covering six of the eleven asserted claims and moved to stay the district court proceeding.
Judge Bryson clearly articulated the three factors that district courts consider when analyzing whether or not to grant a stay:
1) whether the stay will unduly prejudice the non-moving party;
2) whether the proceedings had reached an advance stage, including the stage of discovery and whether a trial date is set; and
3) whether the stay will likely result in simplifying the case before the court.
After noting that the congressional intent of post-grant review before the patent office was to be a "quick and cost effective alternative[] to litigation" to provide a "faster, less costly alternative to civil litigation to challenge patents" and to be "an inexpensive substitute for district court litigation that allows key issues to be addressed by experts in the field" he proceeded to walk through the three factors.

New Approach to Patentable Subject Matter
The United States Patent Office periodically issues guidance for examiners often in response to a recent court decision or new statute. These guidelines (the Guidance) do not have the force of law but nevertheless establish the specific procedures that the Examiners apply during examination of patent applications.
Examination guidelines were issued on 4 March 2014 to address two recent court decisions related to the subject matter eligibility of certain claims under 35 U.S.C. § 101. Examiners will use tests described in the Guidance to determine the patent eligibility of any claim related to laws of nature, natural phenomena and natural products. Read More

The Patent Office's First Take on CLS Bank v. Alice
On 25 June 2014, new examination guidelines (the Guidance) from the United States Patent Office were issued in response to the Supreme Court's decision in Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank International. This case addressed the subject matter eligibility under 35 U.S.C. § 101 of claims related to an abstract idea. The Guidance provides preliminary instructions for analysing claims involving an abstract idea and its applicability to technology areas, including the software and business method fields, which are worthy of attention from applicants.

Most of the people in the profession world want to keep advancing their careers and studying more programs is one of the ways one is able to achieve this. Master's programs are associated with an increased responsibility in the line of professional that program falls under and the nursing industry is no different. The nurses, who opt to purse master's programs such as the MAN Degree or DNP Degree, will be increasing their chances of being promoted to the management levels. However, before one decides that one wants to pursue such a master's degree, it is important to first understand what the job outlook looks like for the graduates of the program in question. With more and more health facilities being built the demand for managers and administrators in these health facilities is also rising.

I have generally made a vacation out of it, and spent two weeks in Tucson.
There are some events specifically in the first week of February. Most of the shows you will be interested in, do run longer, such as the Grant, African Village, Pueblo Gem Show and Gem Mall.
For me, I like the more laid back atmosphere towards the end of the shows. It seems like some of the stress is gone. However, if you have your eye on specific rare goods, going early might still be best. For everything else, there is plenty still around later.
More info will be announced soon, but I can say that there will be a small evening Bead Symposium again at the Sonoran Glass show. It will be on Feb 6.
If you click on the link, you can get an idea of the dates of the different shows.

Melatonin, xanthurenic acid, resveratrol, EGCG, vitamin C and alpha-lipoic acid differentially reduce oxidative DNA damage induced by Fenton reagents: a study of their individual and synergistic actions.
López-Burillo S1, Tan DX, Mayo JC, Sainz RM, Manchester LC, Reiter RJ.
Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Physiology, School of Medicine, University of Valladolid, Valladolid, Spain.
DNA damage generated by oxygen-derived free radicals is related to mutagenesis, carcinogenesis and aging. In the last several years, hundreds of publications have confirmed that melatonin is a potent endogenous free radical scavenger. In the present in vitro study, we have examined the efficacy of three polyphenolic antioxidants, i.e. xanthurenic acid, resveratrol (3,4',5-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) and (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and two classical non-polyphenolic antioxidants, i.e. vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and alpha-lipoic acid (LA, 1,2-dithiolane-3-pentanoic acid) in inhibiting *OH-induced oxidative DNA damage. We compared the efficacy of these five antioxidants with the effectiveness of melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) and we also investigated the possible synergistic effects of melatonin with the other five molecules. Using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the formation of 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) in purified calf thymus DNA treated with the Fenton reagents, chromium(III) (as CrCl3) plus hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (Cr(III)/H2O2), was measured in the presence or absence of the antioxidants alone or in combination with melatonin. 8-OH-dG is considered a biomarker of oxidative DNA damage. Among the antioxidants tested, melatonin was the most effective of these with an IC50 = 3.6 +/- 0.1 micro m. For the other antioxidants the IC50 values were as follows: xanthurenic acid (IC50 = 7.9 +/- 0.3), resveratrol (IC50 = 10.9 +/- 0.3), EGCG (IC50 = 5.7 +/- 0.3), vitamin C (IC50 = 16.9 +/- 0.5) and LA (IC50 = 38.8 +/- 0.7). These values differ from that of melatonin with a P < 0.01. Melatonin (1 micro M) reversed the pro-oxidant effect of resveratrol (0.5 micro M) and vitamin C (0.5 micro M), had an antagonistic effect when used in combination with EGCG (1 micro M) and it exhibited synergism in combination with vitamin C (0.5 micro M) and with LA (5 micro M).

Rex Tillerson, R.I.P.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson waves goodbye after speaking at the State Department in Washington on Tuesday. (Andrew Harnik/AP)
Opinion by
Columnist focusing on national politics and foreign policy

Few people will miss Rex Tillerson. Certainly not the State Department officials whose lives he upended with a "reform" that seemed to have no discernible goals. Certainly not the diplomats and experts whom he ignored and undermined. Certainly not the foreign diplomats he dealt with either: Tillerson didn't have the background in diplomacy or politics to be impressive. More to the point, nobody was ever quite sure that he had the president's ear, and nobody knew whether it was worth talking to him at all.
Tillerson himself was never quite sure that he had the president's ear either, of course, and over time seemed to grow less interested in getting it. Not long ago I asked somebody who works at a senior level in U.S. diplomacy about the constant tumult. How did anyone work on long-term projects in all that chaos? Weren't President Trump's tweets distracting? "We just ignore them," he told me, "and get on with the job." That seems to have been Tillerson's modus operandi too – but it backfired.
Clearly, Trump does not want a secretary of state, or any Cabinet colleague, who ignores his tweets and gets on with the job. He wants someone who will respond to his constantly changing whims, who will cater to his moods. If he decides one week to insult the leader of North Korea, he doesn't want to hear any objections. If he decides the next week that he wants to fly to Pyongyang, then he doesn't want to hear any criticism of that either. He lives in a fantasy world of his own making, a nonstop television show in which he is the only star; he doesn't want people who keep telling him that the real world looks somewhat different or that extravagant gestures might have severe consequences.
For that reason alone, there will be something to miss when Tillerson is gone. At least the man lived in the real world and grappled with actual facts. At least he had run the sort of company that bought and sold things such as oil and gas, and didn't make profits out of "brand names" and advertising. Instead of Tillerson, we will now have Mike Pompeo, the CIA director who agreed, at the president's request, to meet a conspiracy theorist who believes Russia did not hack the Democratic National Committee; and who has lied about his own agency's report on Russia's election interference as well. In other words, we will soon have a secretary of state who has agreed to share at least a part of Trump's fantasy world. Expect U.S. foreign policy to change accordingly.
Pompeo can make the State Department great again
In 56 words, Trump confirms 'fake news' on his relationship with Rex Tillerson
Even before firing Tillerson, Trump outsourced his North Korea diplomacy
Trump humiliates Rex Tillerson for the last time
Tillerson's departure removes another check on an impulsive Trump

USA's first Wärtsilä equipped LNG fuelling barge ordered by Q-LNG
28 November 2017 at 1:00 PM E. Europe Standard Time
Q-LNG ATB Rendering
The technology group Wärtsilä has been selected to provide a broad scope of products and solutions for a new articulated tug barge (ATB). The vessel will be used to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel to cruise ships along the east coast of Florida, USA. This will be the first fuelling barge with a Wärtsilä solution operating in US waters, and is seen as being an important logistics link for the growth of LNG as a marine fuel in the USA.
The 4000 m3 capacity ATB is being built at the VT Halter Marine (VTHM) shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi on behalf of Quality Liquefied Natural Gas Transport LLC (Q-LNG). When delivered, the vessel will be on a long-term charter with Shell Oil Co.
The ATB comprises a barge and a tug. The barge will be fitted with a Wärtsilä LNG cargo storage, handling, and control system. Wärtsilä will also supply the barge automation, power management, and ballast water management systems, as well the bow thruster. The tug will include Wärtsilä main propulsion steerable thrusters and shaft lines, the Wärtsilä NACOS Platinum dynamic positioning system, the tug automation, as well as all navigation and communication equipment.
The order with Wärtsilä was booked in November 2017. Deliveries will continue throughout 2018 and 2019, and the vessel is scheduled to commence operations in 2020.
"Q-LNG is very pleased to again be partnering with Wärtsilä on yet another ground-breaking project. Wärtsilä's expertise in LNG systems, its solid reputation for top quality marine equipment, and its commitment to customer service fits in very well with Q-LNG's plan to advance the development of LNG as a marine fuel in North America," says Chad Verret, President of Q-LNG.
Q-LNG is owned 70% by Shane Guidry and 30% by Harvey Gulf International Marine, a company that currently has six vessels under construction or in operation with LNG solutions supplied by Wärtsilä. The success of these installations, together with recommendations from Shell, were strong factors in the selection of Wärtsilä equipment for this project.
"Wärtsilä is very grateful for the confidence placed in our solutions by VTHM, Q-LNG and Shell," says Hanno Schoonman, General Manager Sales for Wärtsilä Marine Solutions in the USA. "Increasing the use of LNG as a marine fuel is at the core of our global business strategy, and this project represents an important step towards realising that aim."

I also see that 99,999% of that traffic is from Commentspam in this blog.
I spend quite some time daily to pick one or two comments from hindreds of comment spams by hand.
From 2 minutes ago I copied the server adresses of all known Ukrainian netwoks into the deny file of the Apache-Server.

What is ThetaHealing? Called "An attainable miracle for your life," it is a spiritual/energy healing technique in which I use the theta brain wave state to connect to Source/God, and from there connect to your energy field. In this space it is possible to have true healing, including clearing negative subconscious beliefs that keep us stuck in fear, unhappiness, depression, anxiety and lack and prevent us from living the life of joyfulness and peace that is our true birthright. What is Whole Person Coaching? Whole Person Coaching recognizes the interrelatedness of all aspects of our lives. I hold a safe space in which together we will explore your goals, values, resources, visions, beliefs, capabilities, social and self identity.

The feeling when you just got back from the hair salon.
A dog salon in Japan called Yorikokoro groomed a dog to make it look extra fluffy.
The dog looks more like a sheep now.
It's unclear how the groomer achieved this look.
Some dogs have even conquered disabilities.
Something you don't see every day though, is a dog that looks shockingly like a sheep.
Thanks to some pampering at Yorikokoro, a dog salon based in Japan, this pup returned from a grooming session looking like quite the fluffball — a cute fluffball, but a fluffball nonetheless.
It's unclear exactly how Yorikokoro was able to achieve this look — sadly there are no videos that show the groomer's process on their Instagram — but it's pretty impressive.
Here's a closer look from all angles.
People are of course taking to Twitter to share their love — and laughter — for this little ball of fur.
Thankfully, the poofy cut doesn't seem to be affecting the dog's ability to run or enjoy life — as evidenced by the delightful photos below.
We're not sure of the dog's name or the its breed, but we've reached out to the groomer, and will update this post if we hear back.


fill in an "a" - It's a lethal to throw and it's destructive.
fill in a "d" - It's brave, and it's strong.
fill in an "e" - It's brown, and it's reddish-brown.
Now, I know it's an easy one, hence I will not accept any answer that does not explains all 8 answers.
bola, which is both a South American throwing weapon and a volcano in Papua New Guinea (which can be destructive).
bold, which is a synonym for brave as well as the common term for strong text.
bole, which is the trunk of a tree (hence brown) and a shade of reddish-brown on its own.
bolt, which is a definition for a fast dash, as well as a piece of hardware used to fasten two things together.
New yet ubiquitous … what am I getting at?

We've been blanketed in KC with snow today. It's wonderful. Feel free to enjoy this week's Music Thursday selections with a cup of hot chocolate. Although, I'm sure it's still damn hot down in J.E.'s Texas — where hot chocolate might not be as pleasant.
On now on to the monstrously colossal Thursday mix….
Perhaps you've all heard the brouhaha between Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema. It looks dire about Jackson directing The Hobbit, which would be a big disappointment after the brilliance of The Lord of the Rings films. I read about this this evening in The New York Times, so it's certainly getting some attention. Go to thehobbitfilm.com to see more, and to read Jackson's letter about his troubles with New Line Cinema.
As you can imagine, there are already fans pledging to boycott The Hobbit if it is directed by anyone other than Peter Jackson.
In other LOTR news, a great independent theater not far from our neighborhood in Minneapolis is playing all three LOTR films back to back to back on December 28th. I have to admit, I'm considering it–11 hours straight. It's become part of the holiday tradition.
I hope everyone is well, had great holiday festivities, and had safe travels to and from their destinations.
The link above will take you to an album put together by one of our design students. It represents a small portion of what I've been up to this semester.
This is the show that prevented me from joining the HM in Kansas City. In less than an hour we will strike it. Sweet vengeance.
Do not fret, soon Music Thursday will be posted. My computer went down this week, so I'm a little behind on things, so I am collecting candidates and will soon have them filtered down to a few choice Music Thursday selections.
In the meanwhile, enjoy this interview I heard today on NPR. This artist folds well-known poems into her music. I think it's a great way to expose some people who may not otherwise think poetry is "their thing." Anyway, I think it dovetails into the conversation we've sort of been having about the importance getting poetry into the hands, hearts and minds of the populi.
Click on the cover to be taken to the album's Amazon.com page, or here for the NPR page with Kris' intervew with Melissa Block. There's some great stuff in the interview and I think Delmhorst articulates herself well. I wish I would have said some of the things she said. I can't say that very often about things I hear in popular culture….
I don't know if you guys heard, but Lance Platner was killed in a motorcycle/automobile collision over the weekend. Lance went to my church during our high school years. When I saw him at the reunion, he mentioned that he had hung a drawing that I had done for him in high school of a skull, sword, and a serpent in his truck. He also mentioned how lucky he felt to have seen the sun rise and set in states all over the country (he was a trucker). Overall, he was a pretty genuine guy, and I'm sure it is rough for his family. As far as I know, he's the first from our class to go.
The reference to the title of this week's Music Thursday will be revealed magically upon listening to the tracks below. You can check out more about The Slip here.
Alright, here's a little ditty to help things go a little smoother today. Humorous…and at the same time makes me realize that on this day, more than any other, I want to be on something.

Stolen from his web site: Christopher Willits is a musician and multimedia artist located in San Francisco, California. Striking a delicate balance between acoustic and electronic sounds and systems, Christopher manages to defy genre distinctions while still defining a "sound" unto his own. His numerous solo releases and collaborations cover a broad spectrum of musical styles, and include one main commonality: Willits' unique use of the guitar with custom-made signal processing. This home-brewed software, along with Willits' 6-string prowess, generates a unique real-time mixture of improvised melody and rhythm. Willits' guitar lines and harmonies fold into each other. Notes and phrases hook and weave, creating complex patterns of interlocking rhythm, melody, and texture.


MXA unresponsive to SCPI commands while "wait for trigger"
I'm programming an application in which RF pulses are manually sent using a PSG. The pulse generator sync output of the PSG is connected to three MXAs trigger input, those are configured in zero span mode.
I'd like to fetch the traces on the MXA after the pulse has been sent. Nevertheless the MXAs change to "wait for trigger" very fast and it seems that they are unresponsive to SCPI commands in that state.
If I set free run triggering in the MXA my software fetches the traces without problems but I need to use external trigger to capture the RF pulses.
What shall I do so the MXAs are responsive to my SCPI commands and I can retrieve the traces?
The issue could be within the order or the timing of your SCPI commands for the PSG. Setting up the MXA commands first puts the MXA in the "Wait for trigger" state. It's the PSG command that will "activate" the trigger.
There are several ways to exit the waiting state depending on the type of trigger. Setting the frequency or power is one way, The source settle command works if you're using the internal firmware. If you are using signal studio, adding a marker in your waveform file also works. The amplitude is what activates the trigger when using a video trigger.


A recent Ontario Court of Appeal decision addressed these "additional claims" in the context of a Long Term Disabilty Claim.
In Fernandes v. Penncorp Life Insurance Company , the Ontario Court of Appeal upheld a $200,000 judgment for punitive damages. But, it reduced a judgment of $100,000 for aggravated damages/damages for mental distress.
Mr. Fernandes was a bricklayer. He was born in Portugal. English was not his first language. He had known manual labour his entire life without advanced reading or writing skills. In around December 2004, Mr. Fernandes fell 8 feet to the ground off scaffolding and injured his back. Two days later he fell again from a distance of about three feet of a trailer, and again injured his back. Following both accidents, Mr. Fernandes could not return to work as a bricklayer.
At the time of his injury, Mr. Fernandes was just 40 years old.
Fortunately for Mr. Fenandes, he had long term disability insurance which he believed would cover him for lost wages in the even of injury. He made a claim for benefits and was denied.
Sound familiar? Sounds like A LOT of cases we see at our law firm.
The policy provided for $3,000/month in monthly disability benefits in the event of "Total Disability". The definition of "Total Disability" changes depending on the policy. The better the policy, the more lenient the definition towards the claimant. The cheaper the policy, the more strict that definition of disability is.
After surveillance was obtained by the insurer, along with sending them to their own "independent" doctor, the insurer denied the claim for benefits.
1) Punitive damages are designed to address the objectives of retribution, deterrence and denunciation, not to compensate the Plaintiff.
The Court found all of these factors in the Fernandes case and upheld the $200,000 award for punitive damages.
1) The term "aggravated damages" is misplaced in a case for mental distress arising from a contractual breach.
2) The Court must be satisfied that an object of the contract was to secure a psychological benefit that brings mental distress upon breach within the reasonable contemplation of the parties AND, that the degree of mental suffering caused by the breach was a degree sufficient to warrant compensation (not easy to prove).
3) In this case, there was no explanation how the trial judge arried at the figure of $100,000 or what facts justified awarding this amount. The award appeared to be too high to the Ontario Court of Appeal, based on previous cases where aggravated damages were awarded.
What was overlooked in this appeal was that at trial, the Plaintiff was awarded full indemnity costs in the amount of $212,130.
On appeal, the quantum of full indemnity costs was reduced by $30,000.
While the Plaintiff was in part successful on the Appeal, the insurer saved $75,000 on the award for aggravated damages, plus another $30,000 on the full indemnity costs award. That presented a savings of $105,000 for the appeal. That's basically $105,000 out of the Plaintiff's pocket, plus having to incur the legal costs for the appeal, which could have ranged from $20,000-$50,000+.
There are certainly other ways to claim damages, above and beyond the regular monthly disability payment amount in a LTD case. These damages are NOT the norm. They are reserved for special and unusual circumstances which the Court must find the be aggregious and high handed. It is certainly possible, and it does happen. No insurer wants this sort of decision made public, and put on the record. It's not good for business and public relations, but it does happen.
Enough law talk? Sure. Anyone catch any of the recent Toronto Mayor Debates? What a laugh! I've seen grade 8 debates with more decorum. I've seen high school candidates do a better job at focusing on the issues, and focusing on the questions.
My favourite part is when they yell and promise outlandish and unreaonable things like: I will spend a kazillion dollars on subways, without any regard for a budget. What's a budget? Oh..don't worry about money. I'll get it from the province or from the federal government. Or, it will magically fall out of the sky. Or, if you promise it, it will magically arrive. Kinda like Field of Dreams.
Then the candidates will spend another kazillion dollars on parks and social services. Then they will also decrease taxes and spend more money on parks. Then they will throw a pizza party for EVERYONE's birthday! Promise the moon and deliver what. I'll tell you what will be delivered.
The next mayor of Toronto will get in to office and say that it's a mess and that nothing can be accomplished because their predecessor left such a huge mess.


In this episode our guest is Dr. AnnMaria De Mars, Judo champion, educational game producer, and mother of four daughters including MMA fighter Ronda Rousey.
We asked Dr. De Mars and Dr. Ferguson to discuss their experiences navigating the challenges they face parenting competitive athletes. Both have achieved success in judo competition on the global scale, and both are parenting children who participate in the same sport.
Additionally, Dr. De Mars (Rousey) has a total of 4 daughters and 4 degrees. We discuss balancing education with athletics, the hazards of competing on the world scale, her most recent endeavors (7 Generations Gaming) and more.
This is a great resource for parents of athletic hopefuls for any sport.
Take a listen, and be sure to give the show a 5 star rating on iTunes and Stitcher.

Delight as Grand National runner-up shows his talent in second career
Grand National runner-up The Last Samuri is thriving in his new post-racing life after retiring from a successful career on the track last year. Paul and Clare Rooney's talented gelding retired sound and well in March 2019 following a career spanning six seasons.
The popular 12-year-old, by Flemensfirth, is enjoying his retraining with Pandora Lovett, daughter of his former trainer Kim Bailey, and finished second at his first British Showjumping (BS) outing earlier this month.
"Sam" was race-fit when he was retired, as the plan had originally been for him to target the 2019 cross-country chase at the Cheltenham Festival, so he enjoyed a break in the field over the summer to relax ahead of his retraining.
Pandora told H&H Sam is on "good form" and she has been working with Jay Johnson on his retraining and helping the horse to find and build strength in his canter. She added he can be highly strung and so they are working on helping him to relax, but once he is in the ring he "knows he is on the job".
"He has taken to showjumping really well and is really enjoying it," she said, adding he is "very scopey".
"We've done quite a bit of unaffiliated and I've only just registered him with BS, so that was his first affiliated show at Rectory Farm and he jumped double clear in the British novice to finish second. I was just aiming for a clear so I was really pleased with him.
"A big thank you to Clare and Paul Rooney for letting me have him."
She said she has plans to continue competing him over the winter and is hoping to target the Retraining of Racehorse/BS series on offer, Covid permitting.
"Every day is a different day with Sam," said Pandora, adding that they have also found living outside over the summer suits him well and helps to keep him relaxed.
"It's really nice to see racehorses go on to do another job and he is really enjoying it. He likes a challenge and so it is about trying to keep him busy. Flatwork isn't really his thing, but he is really bold jumping — fillers and things don't bother him — and for a racehorse he is very careful, so we are working on maintaining a rhythm and our technique."
Sam started his career with Donald McCain, moving to Kim in 2015 and finally Harry Fry in November 2018.
He won eight of his 27 starts under Rules, including the 2016 Grimthorpe Chase, taking home a total of £409,589 in prize money. The Aintree specialist started as the 8-1 joint favourite in the 2016 Grand National, finishing runner-up six lengths behind Rule The World. In all, he ran in three Grand Nationals and was also twice placed in other races over the iconic fences.
