Sea turtles released followingtheir recovery at Zoo Miami |
Two juvenile green sea turtles were released recently at Matheson Hammock Park following their recovery at Zoo Miami’s Sea Turtle Hospital. Estimated to be between 3 and 5 years old, both individuals were rescued from the Dania Beach Pier after being unintentionally hooked by fishermen. The first individual, named, “Socket,” arrived on July 17 and the second individual, named, “Bolts,” arrived on Aug. 15.

Following the removal of the hooks, both turtles were carefully monitored and cared for at Zoo Miami’s Sea Turtle Hospital until it was determined by the Animal Health Team that they were fully recovered and ready for release back to the wild ...

Have it Sweet Like Honey, Honey! |
“Shana Tova Umetuka” – “May you have a good and sweet year” is what we typically wish each other in the month leading up to the Jewish New Year, and I bet you’ve always wondered why we give a double wish, that the year should be both good and sweet. If it’s good, isn’t it sweet? It’s got to be more than just poetic. The Talmud teaches us that everything that happens in the world is for the good. And although many times it seems far from good, you should know that ultimately it somehow is for the good. We therefore wish each other, that not just should you have a good year, but also a sweet one. A year that is not just ultimately for the good, but rather one where the good is obvious to all. A year that is deliciously sweet.. . Read More |

I fell in love with tennis in college. I was lucky enough to live a mere 100 yards from a bank of courts on campus at UF and could play whenever I wanted, whether I had an opponent or not. There was always someone looking for a hitting session (once a professor who had been a fave) or game and you could play late into the evening or until the lights suddenly went out. Now, to be fair, I was never very good – my backhand being better than my forehand and my serve a looping half-lob that had no spin or slice or pace on it. But I could sustain a rally and wasn’t afraid to look ridiculous swinging through an overhead. Plus, I always had a fresh can of balls to share... Read More

2023 Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid
Pinnacle Goes the Distance |
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG EQE Sedan is an amazing looking vehicle. Immediately you get an impression that this is a cutting edge vehicle, with its front curved down, like a shark. The AMG EQE looks fast and it is. It can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds. This power is generated by a 617 horsepower engine with 701 pound-feet of torque. You feel it as you are driving around, getting the full grip of the tires on the road. It is a different kind of feel that you don’t get in many sports cars, especially sedans, but Mercedes-Benz pulls it off. The wonderful sedan delivers 24 miles per gallon in the city and 33 miles per gallon on the highway. This beauty can seat five passengers and feels roomy from both the back and the front. You see the luxury in the separation between the front and the back and the views of the road from just. .. Read More
