Pitts and other players who got away could haunt Dolphins
Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier, left, and coach Brian Flores speak during a news conference about players chosen by the Dolphins in the first round of the NFL football draft, early Friday, April 30, 2021, in Davie, Fla. (AP ... more >
By STEVEN WINE - Associated Press - Saturday, May 1, 2021
MIAMI (AP) - The Miami Dolphins' draft may be remembered for the players who went elsewhere.
The Dolphins initially held the No. 3 overall pick, meaning they could have selected Florida tight end Kyle Pitts or LSU receiver Ja'Marr Chase as a tantalizing target for Tua Tagovailoa. They didn't.
Even after two trades left the Dolphins with the sixth overall choice, they could have taken Heisman Trophy winner DeVonta Smith, the star of last season's national championship game. They didn't.
They had four of the top 50 selections, leaving them well positioned to land a top-tier running back. They didn't.
"We'd love to draft every position, every player, every year if we could," general manager Chris Grier said. "But the players we added were at the right spots for us, and we feel good about it."
The future of the regime led by Grier and coach Brian Flores hinges on whether those good feelings are validated in the games to come.
The Dolphins did acquire the fastest receiver, the first edge rusher and the first safety in the draft. They added a potential playmaker for Tagovailoa, and two potential starters for a defense that was the NFL's stingiest much of last season.
The Dolphins used their top pick to select speedy receiver Jaylen Waddle rather than his Alabama teammate, Smith. With the 18th overall choice they took Miami Hurricanes edge rusher Jaelan Phillips.
In the second round the Dolphins drafted Oregon safety Jevon Holland and Notre Dame tackle Liam Eichenberg. Their third-round pick was Boston College tight end Hunter Long.
Miami made two selections on the final day of the draft Saturday, both in the seventh round: Massachusetts tackle Larnel Coleman and Cincinnati running back Gerrid Doaks.
"We like the guys we added this weekend," Flores said. "But I'll say this, and hopefully the rookies are listening: These guys have a long way to go."
GROUND GAME
The Dolphins haven't used a draft pick higher than 131st on a running back since 2016, and it shows. That's the last time they had a 750-yard rusher.
In 2020, Miami's ball-carriers ranked last in the league in yards after contact, and fourth-worst in yards per attempt.
None of the team's five veteran running backs was drafted higher than the fifth round. That includes Malcolm Brown, a free agent acquisition with two starts in six NFL seasons.
"We have good runners on the roster," Grier said. "We feel good about our guys."
The 23-year-old Tagovailoa may soon be second in seniority among starting quarterbacks in the division, behind only Buffalo's Josh Allen.
The Jets drafted Zach Wilson with the second overall pick, and the Patriots took Mac Jones with the 15th choice.
"The Jets and New England got two very good players," Flores said. "I'm sure they're excited about adding those pieces."
The Dolphins traded up to select Eichenberg, a three-year starter at left tackle for the Fighting Irish, even though they have three offensive linemen who started as rookies last year.
"You can never have enough offensive linemen," Grier said.
The Dolphins took Long despite already having three veterans at tight end. Two of them, Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe, are heading into the final year of their contracts.
FAVORITE LEAGUE
Three of Miami's seven picks played in the Atlantic Coast Conference last year. Phillips is the first player from the University of Miami selected by the Dolphins since 2012.

NSW Labor has pledged an additional 7 GW of new renewable energy if it wins power in the March election. According to Labor, the Daley Labor Government plan would provide clean and cheaper electricity for more than three million NSW homes in the next decade.
Announcing the policy, NSW Labor Leader Michael Daley said it indicated to the market that NSW is serious about renewable energy.
The plan will create more than 13,000 new jobs, according to Labor.
The Daley new renewable energy package includes the creation of a new state-owned power corporation. This will deliver a further 1 GW of renewable energy generation and storage over the next decade.
NSW Labor is backing renewable energy ahead of the March election.
"I want to make NSW a global leader of the clean energy industry," Daley said.
"I want NSW workers and families to reap the benefits. But we can only do that if we send a message to the energy sector that a NSW Labor State Government will back them and guarantee a market.
Daley said NSW would not be "a supplicant state" for energy.
Today's pledge builds on Labor's announcement last Sunday. It promised a NSW solar panel rebates program if it wins the state election on March 23.
Under Labor, households with combined incomes of $180,000 or less will then be eligible for a solar panel rebate up to $2,200.
In response, Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced a 10-year Empowering Homes program to unlock a $3.2 billion new renewable energy investment.


Why you should know him: Born to a Jewish family in Ukraine, Azaria Alon made aliyah (immigrated to Israel) with his family in 1925. The Alons settled in the Jezreel Valley before moving to Haifa. Alon returned to the Jezreel Valley at age 20 to live on Kibbutz Beit HaShita, marrying his wife Reut and having four children.
In 1953, helped establish SPNI in response to the drying up of Hula Lake and many of Israel's swamps. He also worked as a teacher and guide for many years, sharing his love of the Holy Land's land. In addition, Alon began hosting The Landscape of Our Country in 1959, which was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest radio program.
Alon also wrote many books about Israel's nature, including books for children that helped new generations appreciate God's creation. When he passed away at the age of 95, it was said that "It is difficult to imagine how the land of Israel and its landscape would look if not for the great work of Alon." May his memory be a blessing.

The Wesley Ghost
Categories: Modern Hauntings
Scary Books: The Book Of Dreams And Ghosts
: Andrew Lang
No ghost story is more celebrated than that of Old Jeffrey, the spirit
so named by Emily Wesley, which disturbed the Rectory at Epworth,
chiefly in the December of 1716 and the spring of 1717. Yet the
vagueness of the human mind has led many people, especially
journalists, to suppose that the haunted house was that, not of Samuel
Wesley, but of his son John Wesley, the founder of the Wesleyan
Methodists. For the bett
r intelligence of the tale, we must know who
the inmates of the Epworth Rectory were, and the nature of their
characters and pursuits. The rector was the Rev. Samuel Wesley, born
in 1662, the son of a clergyman banished from his living on "Black
Bartholomew Day," 1666. Though educated among Dissenters, Samuel
Wesley converted himself to the truth as it is in the Church of
England, became a "poor scholar" of Exeter College in Oxford,
supported himself mainly by hack-work in literature (he was one of the
editors of a penny paper called The Athenian Mercury, a sort of
Answers), married Miss Susanna Annesley, a lady of good family, in
1690-91, and in 1693 was presented to the Rectory of Epworth in
Lincolnshire by Mary, wife of William of Orange, to whom he had
dedicated a poem on the life of Christ. The living was poor, Mr.
Wesley's family multiplied with amazing velocity, he was in debt, and
unpopular. His cattle were maimed in 1705, and in 1703 his house was
burned down. The Rectory House, of which a picture is given in
Clarke's Memoirs of the Wesleys, 1825, was built anew at his own
expense. Mr. Wesley was in politics a strong Royalist, but having
seen James II. shake "his lean arm" at the Fellows of Magdalen
College, and threaten them "with the weight of a king's right hand,"
he conceived a prejudice against that monarch, and took the side of
the Prince of Orange. His wife, a very pious woman and a strict
disciplinarian, was a Jacobite, would not say "amen" to the prayers
for "the king," and was therefore deserted by her husband for a year
or more in 1701-1702. They came together again, however, on the
accession of Queen Anne.
Unpopular for his politics, hated by the Dissenters, and at odds with
the "cunning men," or local wizards against whom he had frequently
preached, Mr. Wesley was certainly apt to have tricks played on him by
his neighbours. His house, though surrounded by a wall, a hedge, and
its own grounds, was within a few yards of the nearest dwelling in the
village street.
In 1716, when the disturbances began, Mr. Wesley's family consisted of
his wife; his eldest son, Sam, aged about twenty-three, and then
absent at his duties as an usher at Westminster; John, aged twelve, a
boy at Westminster School; Charles, a boy of eight, away from home,
and the girls, who were all at the parsonage. They were Emily, about
twenty-two, Mary, Nancy and Sukey, probably about twenty-one, twenty
and nineteen, and Hetty, who may have been anything between nineteen
and twelve, but who comes after John in Dr. Clarke's list, and is
apparently reckoned among "the children". {212} Then there was Patty,
who may have been only nine, and little Keziah.
All except Patty were very lively young people, and Hetty, afterwards
a copious poet, "was gay and sprightly, full of mirth, good-humour,
and keen wit. She indulged this disposition so much that it was said
to have given great uneasiness to her parents." The servants, Robin
Brown, Betty Massy and Nancy Marshall, were recent comers, but were
acquitted by Mrs. Wesley of any share in the mischief. The family,
though, like other people of their date, they were inclined to believe
in witches and "warnings," were not especially superstitious, and
regarded the disturbances, first with some apprehension, then as a
joke, and finally as a bore.
The authorities for what occurred are, first, a statement and journal
by Mr. Wesley, then a series of letters of 1717 to Sam at Westminster
by his mother, Emily and Sukey, next a set of written statements made
by these and other witnesses to John Wesley in 1726, and last and
worst, a narrative composed many years after by John Wesley for The
Arminian Magazine.
The earliest document, by a few days, is the statement of Mr. Wesley,
written, with a brief journal, between 21st December, 1716, and 1st
January, 1717. Comparing this with Mrs. Wesley's letter to Sam of
12th January, 1716 and Sukey's letter of 24th January, we learn that
the family for some weeks after 1st December had been "in the greatest
panic imaginable," supposing that Sam, Jack, or Charlie (who must also
have been absent from home) was dead, "or by some misfortune killed".
The reason for these apprehensions was that on the night of 1st
December the maid "heard at the dining-room door several dreadful
groans, like a person in extremes". They laughed at her, but for the
whole of December "the groans, squeaks, tinglings and knockings were
frightful enough". The rest of the family (Mr. Wesley always
excepted) "heard a strange knocking in divers places," chiefly in the
green room, or nursery, where (apparently) Hetty, Patty and Keziah
lay. Emily heard the noises later than some of her sisters, perhaps a
week after the original groans. She was locking up the house about
ten o'clock when a sound came like the smashing and splintering of a
huge piece of coal on the kitchen floor. She and Sukey went through
the rooms on the ground floor, but found the dog asleep, the cat at
the other end of the house, and everything in order. From her bedroom
Emily heard a noise of breaking the empty bottles under the stairs,
but was going to bed, when Hetty, who had been sitting on the lowest
step of the garret stairs beside the nursery door, waiting for her
father, was chased into the nursery by a sound as of a man passing her
in a loose trailing gown. Sukey and Nancy were alarmed by loud knocks
on the outside of the dining-room door and overhead. All this time
Mr. Wesley heard nothing, and was not even told that anything unusual
was heard. Mrs. Wesley at first held her peace lest he should think
it "according to the vulgar opinion, a warning against his own death,
which, indeed, we all apprehended". Mr. Wesley only smiled when he
was informed; but, by taking care to see all the girls safe in bed,
sufficiently showed his opinion that the young ladies and their lovers
were the ghost. Mrs. Wesley then fell back on the theory of rats, and
employed a man to blow a horn as a remedy against these vermin. But
this measure only aroused the emulation of the sprite, whom Emily
began to call "Jeffrey".
Not till 21st December did Mr. Wesley hear anything, then came
thumpings on his bedroom wall. Unable to discover the cause, he
procured a stout mastiff, which soon became demoralised by his
experiences. On the morning of the 24th, about seven o'clock, Emily
led Mrs. Wesley into the nursery, where she heard knocks on and under
the bedstead; these sounds replied when she knocked. Something "like
a badger, with no head," says Emily; Mrs. Wesley only says, "like a
badger," ran from under the bed. On the night of the 25th there was
an appalling vacarme. Mr. and Mrs. Wesley went on a tour of
inspection, but only found the mastiff whining in terror. "We still
heard it rattle and thunder in every room above or behind us, locked
as well as open, except my study, where as yet it never came." On the
night of the 26th Mr. Wesley seems to have heard of a phenomenon
already familiar to Emily--"something like the quick winding up of a
jack, at the corner of the room by my bed head". This was always
followed by knocks, "hollow and loud, such as none of us could ever
imitate". Mr. Wesley went into the nursery, Hetty, Kezzy and Patty
were asleep. The knocks were loud, beneath and in the room, so Mr.
Wesley went below to the kitchen, struck with his stick against the
rafters, and was answered "as often and as loud as I knocked". The
peculiar knock which was his own, 1-23456-7, was not successfully
echoed at that time. Mr. Wesley then returned to the nursery, which
was as tapageuse as ever. The children, three, were trembling in
their sleep. Mr. Wesley invited the agency to an interview in his
study, was answered by one knock outside, "all the rest were within,"
and then came silence. Investigations outside produced no result, but
the latch of the door would rise and fall, and the door itself was
pushed violently back against investigators.
"I have been with Hetty," says Emily, "when it has knocked under her,
and when she has removed has followed her," and it knocked under
little Kezzy, when "she stamped with her foot, pretending to scare
Patty."
Mr. Wesley had requested an interview in his study, especially as the
Jacobite goblin routed loudly "over our heads constantly, when we came
to the prayers for King George and the prince". In his study the
agency pushed Mr. Wesley about, bumping him against the corner of his
desk, and against his door. He would ask for a conversation, but
heard only "two or three feeble squeaks, a little louder than the
chirping of a bird, but not like the noise of rats, which I have often
heard".
Mr. Wesley had meant to leave home for a visit on Friday, 28th
December, but the noises of the 27th were so loud that he stayed at
home, inviting the Rev. Mr. Hoole, of Haxey, to view the performances.
"The noises were very boisterous and disturbing this night." Mr.
Hoole says (in 1726, confirmed by Mrs. Wesley, 12th January, 1717)
that there were sounds of feet, trailing gowns, raps, and a noise as
of planing boards: the disturbance finally went outside the house and
died away. Mr. Wesley seems to have paid his visit on the 30th, and
notes, "1st January, 1717. My family have had no disturbance since I
went away."
To judge by Mr. Wesley's letter to Sam, of 12th January, there was no
trouble between the 29th of December and that date. On the 19th of
January, and the 30th of the same month, Sam wrote, full of curiosity,
to his father and mother. Mrs. Wesley replied (25th or 27th January),
saying that no explanation could be discovered, but "it commonly was
nearer Hetty than the rest". On 24th January, Sukey said "it is now
pretty quiet, but still knocks at prayers for the king." On 11th
February, Mr. Wesley, much bored by Sam's inquiries, says, "we are all
now quiet. . . . It would make a glorious penny book for Jack
Dunton," his brother-in-law, a publisher of popular literature, such
as the Athenian Mercury. Emily (no date) explains the phenomena as
the revenge for her father's recent sermons "against consulting those
that are called cunning men, which our people are given to, and _it
had a particular spite at my father_".
The disturbances by no means ended in the beginning of January, nor at
other dates when a brief cessation made the Wesleys hope that Jeffrey
had returned to his own place. Thus on 27th March, Sukey writes to
Sam, remarking that as Hetty and Emily are also writing "so
particularly," she need not say much. "One thing I believe you do not
know, that is, last Sunday, to my father's no small amazement, his
trencher danced upon the table a pretty while, without anybody's
stirring the table. . . . Send me some news for we are excluded from
the sight or hearing of any versal thing, except Jeffery."
The last mention of the affair, at this time, is in a letter from
Emily, of 1st April, to a Mr. Berry.
"Tell my brother the sprite was with us last night, and heard by many
of our family." There are no other contemporary letters preserved,
but we may note Mrs. Wesley's opinion (25th January) that it was
"beyond the power of any human being to make such strange and various
noises".
The next evidence is ten years after date, the statements taken down
by Jack Wesley in 1726 (1720?). Mrs. Wesley adds to her former
account that she "earnestly desired it might not disturb her" (at her
devotions) "between five and six in the evening," and it did not rout
in her room at that time. Emily added that a screen was knocked at on
each side as she went round to the other. Sukey mentioned the noise
as, on one occasion, coming gradually from the garret stairs, outside
the nursery door, up to Hetty's bed, "who trembled strongly in her
sleep. It then removed to the room overhead, where it knocked my
father's knock on the ground, as if it would beat the house down."
Nancy said that the noise used to follow her, or precede her, and once
a bed, on which she sat playing cards, was lifted up under her several
times to a considerable height. Robin, the servant, gave evidence
that he was greatly plagued with all manner of noises and movements of
objects.
John Wesley, in his account published many years after date in his
Arminian Magazine, attributed the affair of 1716 to his father's
broken vow of deserting his mother till she recognised the Prince of
Orange as king! He adds that the mastiff "used to tremble and creep
away before the noise began".
Some other peculiarities may be noted. All persons did not always
hear the noises. It was three weeks before Mr. Wesley heard anything.
"John and Kitty Maw, who lived over against us, listened several
nights in the time of the disturbance, but could never hear anything."
Again, "The first time my mother ever heard any unusual noise at
Epworth was long before the disturbance of old Jeffrey . . . the door
and windows jarred very loud, and presently several distinct strokes,
three by three, were struck. From that night it never failed to give
notice in much the same manner, against any signal misfortune or
illness of any belonging to the family," writes Jack.
Once more, on 10th February, 1750, Emily (now Mrs. Harper) wrote to
her brother John, "that wonderful thing called by us Jeffery, how
certainly it calls on me against any extraordinary new affliction".
This is practically all the story of Old Jeffrey. The explanations
have been, trickery by servants (Priestley), contagious hallucinations
(Coleridge), devilry (Southey), and trickery by Hetty Wesley (Dr.
Salmon, of Trinity College, Dublin). Dr. Salmon points out that there
is no evidence from Hetty; that she was a lively, humorous girl, and
he conceives that she began to frighten the maids, and only
reluctantly exhibited before her father against whom, however, Jeffrey
developed "a particular spite". He adds that certain circumstances
were peculiar to Hetty, which, in fact, is not the case. The present
editor has examined Dr. Salmon's arguments in The Contemporary Review,
and shown reason, in the evidence, for acquitting Hetty Wesley, who
was never suspected by her family.
Trickery from without, by "the cunning men," is an explanation which,
at least, provides a motive, but how the thing could be managed from
without remains a mystery. Sam Wesley, the friend of Pope, and
Atterbury, and Lord Oxford, not unjustly said: "Wit, I fancy, might
find many interpretations, but wisdom none". {220}
As the Wesley tale is a very typical instance of a very large class,
our study of it may exempt us from printing the well-known parallel
case of "The Drummer of Tedworth". Briefly, the house of Mr.
Mompesson, near Ludgarshal, in Wilts, was disturbed in the usual way,
for at least two years, from April, 1661, to April, 1663, or later.
The noises, and copious phenomena of moving objects apparently
untouched, were attributed to the unholy powers of a wandering
drummer, deprived by Mr. Mompesson of his drum. A grand jury
presented the drummer for trial, on a charge of witchcraft, but the
petty jury would not convict, there being a want of evidence to prove
threats, malum minatum, by the drummer. In 1662 the Rev. Joseph
Glanvil, F.R.S., visited the house, and, in the bedroom of Mr.
Mompesson's little girls, the chief sufferers, heard and saw much the
same phenomena as the elder Wesley describes in his own nursery. The
"little modest girls" were aged about seven and eight. Charles II.
sent some gentlemen to the house for one night, when nothing occurred,
the disturbances being intermittent. Glanvil published his narrative
at the time, and Mr. Pepys found it "not very convincing". Glanvil,
in consequence of his book, was so vexed by correspondents "that I
have been haunted almost as bad as Mr. Mompesson's house". A report
that imposture had been discovered, and confessed by Mr. Mompesson,
was set afloat, by John Webster, in a well-known work, and may still
be found in modern books. Glanvil denied it till he was "quite
tired," and Mompesson gave a formal denial in a letter dated Tedworth,
8th November, 1672. He also, with many others, swore to the facts on
oath, in court, at the drummer's trial. {221}
In the Tedworth case, as at Epworth, and in the curious Cideville case
of 1851, a quarrel with "cunning men" preceded the disturbances. In
Lord St. Vincent's case, which follows, nothing of the kind is
reported. As an almost universal rule children, especially girls of
about twelve, are centres of the trouble; in the St. Vincent story,
the children alone were exempt from annoyance.

A caffeine-free infusion, our Honeybush is light-bodied, slightly sweet organic herbal tea with hints of toasted grains. This organic African tea has a woody aroma with notes of eucalyptus. Indigenous to South Africa, honeybush was discovered in the 1700's when local inhabitants realized that the flowers, stems and leaves from this plant could be used to make a drink that had a pleasant taste with honey-like flavor. Generally the plant is cut right down to the ground during harvesting. The remaining roots do not die however, and within two years they have grown into harvestable size again, quite often nearly twice the size of the original bush.
"If you're a fan of rooibos, this is a must-try! The sweet and nuttyness is more prominent in this to me."
"This was a hit with my book group!"
"I like to relax to this nice woodsy tea with a slightly sweet honey overtone."
"Many people ask us how Honeybush and Rooibos differ in flavor - in my opinion, I believe Honeybush is woodier, lighter in body and less tart."

[TRANSFERS] Australian Player Keesja Gofers Joins Greek Olympiacos!
The Netherlands and Spain clinched the top spot in the respective groups and with an easy quarter-final match in sight both can be ready to the semis. The Dutch prevailed in a highly tactical game against Greece while the hosts won a sparkling 23-goal encounter over Russia.
The clash for the top spot in Group A was more like a chess game, the gap between the Greeks and the Dutch never exceed one goal. Scoring itself was a challenge as the defensive tactics worked really well, at half-time it stood 2-2, then Greece got a bit closer with a penalty 0.9sec from the time before the last period (5-4).
Though the first three periods saw great action goals, the decision – as usual – came down to the 6 on 5s in the fourth period. And the Dutch did an amazing job since they could put away 4 in a row. Ilse Koolhaas was outstanding, she netted a hat-trick in 1:26 minutes, while the Greeks missed their man-up at 6-7 and that proved to be crucial. Later a nice center-goal from Alexandra Asimaki brought back some hope with 84 seconds to go (7-8) but the Greeks could hit only the bar from their last possession.
Thus they slipped back to the 2nd place and had to wait for a tough rival (turned out to be Russia) while the Dutch virtually made the semis already as their quarter-final against the Germans is to be an easy ride.
The same was at stake in the prelims' closing match between Spain and Russia: the top spot and a nice cruising against France in the quarters or a game against Greece or Italy. Russia had a mount to climb though, as they would have needed a three-goal win to finish atop. Though the hosts led for most of the time in the first half, Russia managed to stay close with a couple of spectacular shots in the mix.
In the third, they caught a better spell and at 7-8 they had a 6 on 5 to earn a two-goal lead but a blocking hand saved Spain and soon Beatriz Ortiz put the sides back to 8-8 before the last break.
In the earlier matches, Italy found it hard to improve its goal-difference significantly against France, stayed 9 goals behind the Netherlands, thus had to settle for the third place before the Greek v Dutch game began (though it didn't count, as it turned out). Hungary warmed up for the quarters by thrashing the Germans.
In the two matches featuring the pointless teams, the Serbs beat Turkey with ease so they can play for the 9th place. In the other duel, Israel managed to earn its historical first point at the Europeans. The first half saw one goal apiece, the last one four at both ends but nothing separated the sides, it ended 7-7. This favored Israel as they had a better goal-difference so they avoided playing for the last two places, a fine feat from the newcomer.

There are times in your life when you get a remarkable opportunity to do something you only dreamed of doing. Some call these events "bucket list" items and traveling to Cuba and diving at Jardines de la Reina (Gardens of the Queen) was one of these opportunities. I went in 2014 before the trade and travel sanctions were lifted. I was invited to go to Cuba as part of a cultural exchange program with a not-for-profit, The Ocean Doctor. It was remarkable! The waters were crystal clear and there was no sign of any damage to the reefs as a result of chemical bleaching or warming of the waters. The marine life is so unaccustomed to divers (only 1,000 divers a year were allowed at the time) that they did not shy away from you but instead came close to investigate. It was a great trip and I hope that the opening of relations with Cuba and the increase in divers does not destroy the beautiful diving opportunity.


It scares me a few times a week.
I'll be in my office bedroom and hear this deep voice talking to DQ.
It's 3:45pm so I know Hubby isn't home.
I vaguely remember setting the 'at home' setting on the alarm, so a burglar isn't talking to my 15 year old.
I shake the cobwebs from my brain and realize yes, that is the deep, hormonal, very masculine voice of my 12 year old son.
That very son who is inching taller over me more and more every day.
That very son who at 2am wakes me from my slumber to again assume a burglar is in our home, but it's really my boy rummaging through our refrigerator.
I don't know if he went to bed and woke hungry or hadn't hit the pillow yet.
That boy has never gone to bed early since infancy.
Just a size and a half away from wearing dad's shoes, this boy is becoming a man.
It's pretty weird for me.
Being a girl and all, I know all the girl changes DQ has gone through and this is more Hubs' territory.
Clothes are now purchased in the men's department.
Socks are smelling pretty rank these days, pits aren't nature's bliss either.
Luckily, the sophomore is giving him skin tips and he's showering regularly, so he's staying pretty hygienic.
He's also in junior high now, and that means he wants to do something I've never let any of the kids do...walk home from school with friends.
This is a toughie letting go of control for sure.
My job as a work at home mom is that I'm available for the kids.
I pick them up from school.
Now the elementary school was two blocks away.
I didn't let them walk...well except for that ONE TIME HE WILL NEVER LET ME LIVE DOWN.
The junior high is over a mile away.
Needless to say, I stalked him on day one....and possibly day 3.
But, he made it home on those days WITHOUT A CELL PHONE as he's now begging for.
Oh these milestones and this growing up thing is just going too fast I tell ya.
I'm aging faster than my hair dye purchases can keep up with.
Aww you have a grown man on your hands!
Just wait until they move out. We're empty nesters.
My 24 year old son is 6'1 and im 5'2 so needless to say he towers over me, and now he even thinks he is my parent sometimes! LOL!
My youngest sons voice has changed a lot in the past month - it almost happened overnight. They grow up so fast.
Im feeling this way about my nephew - he's getting taller, growing up, and losing he's 'cute' voice and ways. Awe - its so sad.
LOL, I don't have a son but I can imagine the voice change being the weirdest thing to get used to.
Isn't it sad how fast they grow up. It's unbelievable!
It's much easier to live through your posts!
This is poetry! I think you captured a mom's angst, wonderment and hope all in one post! It is hard, too, when they are still cute like a boy, but don't want a hug, either!
This was the funniest thing I've read in a long time! Thanks for the laugh! Great writing!
Great post! Sounds like you have raised some great kids!
I can remember when my now 22 yr old son was that age... time flies by so fast... enjoy it while you can. My youngest is now 13 and taller than me as well.
what's hard is their growing up, you don't need to let go just at the big milestones, ie going off to college, but all these small but defining changes, too!!
Kids change so quickly and before you know it they are gone and having a home of their own. You when they are young thik some dayss they cant grow up fast enough especially during thosee difficult ages.... bt when they go, you miss them like mad and wonder where the toddler went!
My mom was right. The time really does fly by after you have kids. My son was just in kindergarten and now he's in his last semester of college. Rank socks and all hug him tight every day for soon you will have empty arms.

LAUREL- A 13-year-old boy was arrested Friday on suspicion of intentionally setting fire to the Laurel Post Office Thursday and a second attempted arson at the Laurel Walmart, according to Laurel Police Chief Stan Langve.
Langve said the Laurel boy was arrested on suspicion of arson, attempted arson and criminal endangerment.
According to Langve, the two incidents were initially connected when a post office employee went to Walmart to purchase particulate masks out of concern for the air quality in the post office.
The post office employee told a Walmart employee the reason behind the purchase, and the Walmart employee then mentioned that there had been an arson attempt at the Walmart as well.

Creswell Crags is a picturesque Magnesium Limestone gorge located on the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire county border.
During the last Ice Age, between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago, Creswell Crags was among the most northerly places on earth to have been visited by our ancient ancestors, a story that is unique on a European and World scale. Wooly mammoths roamed the lands around Creswell Crags, and nomadic Neanderthal man sought shelter in Creswell Crags' caves whilst they were following these migrating animals.
The gorge is honeycombed with caves and smaller fissures, and is a wonderful, serene and beautiful site to explore with the whole family.
Home to Britain's only known example of Ice Age cave art, dated 13,000 years old, it is simply dripping in history and wills to be explored.
Cave tours to this incredible site run throughout the week, so why not transport yourself back in time, immerse yourself in the history and beauty of Creswell Crags, and see artefacts, hand tools, and other fascinating things they left behind.
Our Life In The Ice Age tour takes you deep into Robin Hoods Cave, the largest cave on site, where you will be transported back to the Ice Age and beyond: discovering the history of the gorge, from 120,000 years ago when it was a Mediterranean climate with hippopotamus wading and wallowing in the lake; through to the freezing climes of the Ice Age; the Victorian Age when the gorge was almost changed entirely if it weren't for the decisions of one man, all the way through to modern times, and in particular, 2003, when the Cave Art was discovered and the site was propelled into world famous status.
You will learn about the animals that used the gorge, why they came here, and most importantly, about the Neanderthals and Early Modern Humans who followed these migrating animals all the way to Creswell.
Inside the cave you will get chance to sit where our ancestors sat during this freezing period, learn how they used animals in their entirety to help them survive this harsh climate, and how they were so sophisticated as to create tools and weapons to help them survive. You will venture deep into a hyena den, and discover how the caves are still being studied, on a global scale, by many archaeologists.
The Rock Art Tour (March-September), takes you into Church Hole, on the Northerly side of the gorge. You will, with help of the guide, interpret these unique, fascinating and world famous engravings that are on the walls and ceiling. You will discover the unique way in which these etchings were found by three archaeologists, and the meanings behind them.
IF all of this isn't enough, there is the award-winning museum to explore before or after your tour, where some of the most famous discoveries from Creswell Crags are housed. Get up close and personal to the artefacts of this incredibly fascinating place.
If you're not short on time, there are wonderful walks to incorporate into your visit. These can take you into the surrounding beauty of Welbeck and Clumber, or just around the local area using the many bridle paths.
The gorge is dog friendly, as is the café, which has both summer and winter menus with tastes to suit everyone. Quench your thirst with speciality coffee's using our own blend of Crags Coffee beans, or satisfy your hunger with jacket potatoes, panini's, soups and home-made lighter bites.
An array of cakes and tray bakes will mean you definitely have room for dessert!
Once you have finished, there is a wonderful shop to visit so you can take home a memento of your day. With books written and signed by the archaeologists who found the art, unique branded gifts, food and drink from local businesses, large fossils and other sculptures, to educational toys and gifts linked to the curriculum, there will surely be something that will catch your eye.

I like to write about dating, relationships, and how to get connected to awesome jobs and careers.
Would you date a guy who is transgendered and wears female clothes and is on female hormones? Never underestimate the power of friendship. As the researchers put it, "longer acquaintance lengths tend to feature romantic impressions that rely heavily on unique, idiosyncratic desirability," rather than just looks. As I entered high school, I had multiple relationships that were nowhere near the kind that I could potentially see leading towards marriage.
On the other hand, if he thinks your ideas are not worthy of his interest, he may pretend to care what you think at the start of the relationship. The Rise of Friendship According to PEW Researchthe 1 most commonly cited reason people use online dating sites nowadays is to find someone with similar interests and hobbies.
Creating genuine friendships is not easy, and it oftentimes needs to start from a position of selfless interest in another. The dating site HowAboutWe has been doing this for years. A year after meeting Jessica, I needed to travel to a new city for work and I realized that I had no place to stay there.

On the other hand, if you plan a Saturday morning date where you explore a new park and a street fair, you can ensure that the person sees you as a fun, exciting, and interesting person to be around, rather than just as someone they can sleep with on a random night of the week.
This is all because I was pressed to believe that just simply being in a relationship made everything better. After that, the couples were interviewed on camera so that a team of coders could "scientifically" rate how physically attractive they thought each person in the couple was on a scale of -3 very unattractive to 3 very attractive.

No, you haven't met his family yet but you know what his sister does for work, and if he had a brother who was not that nice to him, and whether or not he had a nice or crappy childhood, all of which allowed you to understand him way more than a guy on Tinder you've spoken to for 60 minutes about sports.


The creators of Defense Zone HD, a popular Tower Defense game, have announced the release of its updated version for iOS. It features a new cross-platform game engine that makes blasts, smoke and other visual effects look more realistic. HD resolution is now available not only for iPad2, but also for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
Defense Zone HD is a spectacular Tower Defense game that combines addictive gameplay with realistic graphics in HD quality. The player´s task is typical for this genre: to block enemy´s advance with the help of strategically placed turrets. However, the chief advantage of Defense Zone over other similar games is its perfect balance of weaponry, resources and enemy´s resilience. Each attack is generated by a special algorithm that makes it more challenging than the previous one, so that the player is never bored. Moreover, Defense Zone boasts beautiful detailed landscapes that look really stunning in HD resolution.
As for the newly released version, it is remarkable for two important updates. The first one is that Defense Zone HD is now compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod (the previous HD resolution version supported only iPad2). Owners of all these devices can enjoy the fine graphics while mastering Tower Defense tactics and strategy.
The second update is a new cross-platform game engine that improves the picture and reduces the memory footprint from 160 MB down to 70 MB. It is possible to compare the visuals "before" and "after" in YouTube trailers (the links are given below). In the updated version the battle is much more impressive – fire, blasts and smoke look extremely realistic.
In general, Defense Zone is strongly recommended for both novices and experts in Tower Defense genre. The difficulty settings offer three modes: very easy, easy and hard.
Defense Zone for Mac has been released as well.
Defense Zone HD for iOS is compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPad2 and iPod touch. The full version costs 2.99 USD; the Lite version is free of charge.

Who needs a professional license? In California, anyone wishing to be an accountant, acupuncturist, cosmetologist, court reporter, bedding salesperson, landscape architect, pharmacist, teacher, real estate agent, pest control operator, or teacher, among many others. Yet the type of immigration status that should be a prerequisite for obtaining a state professional license has not been consistent, at least until California did implement a remedy. And in New York, with a different array of immigration regulations for professional licensing, a different type of remedy was eventually decided upon.
In her article Professional Licensing and Teacher Certification for Non-Citizens: Federalism, Equal Protection and a State's Socio-Economic Interests, in Columbia Journal of Race and Law, Professor Janet Calvo analyzes the intersection of Equal Protection doctrine and the Tenth Amendment to argue that states have the constitutional responsibility as well as the constitutional power to remove immigration barriers to state licensing requirements. Distinguishing among categories of immigration status raises equal protection concerns and, as the Second Circuit has held, constitutional violations. Additionally, licensing is a traditional state function which Congress can regulate to some extent but not totally commandeer.
As Calvo argues, California and New York each took a unique path to solving the licensing issue, yet taken together, they offer a map to other states, organizations, and communities seeking to address similar problems.

The chattering subconscious: What can Predskazamus inflict on your libido?
Share material
Source: tsarinas.com
Sigmund Freud himself called them Fehlleistungen, German for «false action». However, when translating his book «Psychopathology of Everyday Life» into English, a staff member used the Greek term παράπρᾶξις (parapraxis), which literally means «another action».
We know this phenomenon as the «Freudian caveat», which is a kind of key to our unconscious.
The subconscious mind is a godsend for a spy!
In Ukraine, such clauses as the advice to «get used to the land» by Kyiv mayor Volodymyr Klitschko or the «cynical Bandera» of former president Petro Poroshenko have long been memes. In their line of work, these people have to talk too much.
But before they turn into sound vibrations and are uttered, the brain selects words to express our thoughts. Researchers studied it with the help of a tomograph, and found out that most mistakes appear even at the moment of talking «inside itself», are identified and filtered by the brain, so most of them are not pronounced out loud.
Statistics show that we do not fall into the verbal traps very often, making mistakes on the average of 22 pronounced words out of 15 thousand. As a rule, they occur when the brain's control over verbal behavior is impaired. Mostly it happens in situations of stress, excitement, fatigue, or, for example, alcohol intoxication.
The likelihood of reservations increases with the rate of speech. Naturally, it is higher in childhood, when the child is just learning to speak, and in old age. That is to say, in any situation where consciousness gives way to unconsciousness, it is happy to spill our secrets to the world. Or at least what, in terms of the popular understanding of Freudism, is a secret.
How the White House «didn't have enough sex»
In 1988, George H.W. Bush, speaking about the results of his work with Ronald Reagan, decided to be objective, not only about the victories, but also about the failures. Among the administration's mistakes he cited «the usual lack of sex», but then quickly corrected himself: «the usual lack of agricultural policy».
But it was too late – the Freudian slip had already spread. For a long time Americans discussed Bush and Reagan, who lacked sex: some mocked, others sympathized, and others gave advice to members of the presidential administration on how to improve the sex life… Even White House received letters from kind-hearted American women who were not averse to helping «poor» Joe and Ron.
Although there were those who believed Bush's reservation was deliberate, and contributed to his popularity. It was argued that the «lack of sex» was part of a political technique to rejoice in any widely circulated information about himself, except the obituary. Whether this was true or not is now difficult to ascertain.
Deliberate bloopers and pre-planned impromptus are widely used in modern advertising and pr-campaigns. As for politicians and other speakers, their brains are often in a state of stress – preparing for an important speech, a person tries hard not to seem ridiculous and stupid and as a result … makes a mistake.
The polar bear of the «ant fraternity»
In the 1980s, the social psychologist Daniel Wegner put forward a theory with which he tried to explain the origin of Freudian reservations. At least some of them. According to Wegner, the more we suppress some thought, the more time our consciousness spends working with it and becoming fixated. The psychologist called it the «polar bear effect» (other definitions later appeared – the «boomerang effect» and the «ironic process effect»).
Wegner discovered this effect in Leo Tolstoy's Memoirs, where the writer spoke of a childhood game of «ant fraternity» that he invented with his brothers in Yasnaya Polyana. The main goal of the «brotherhood» was to achieve universal happiness, including through some rituals invented by his older brother Nicholas.
One such exercise was to stand in a corner and by no means think of a polar bear. Leo Tolstoy recalls that he did not succeed – he tried with all his might to get the bear out of his head, but all his thoughts went in a circle and were exclusively about the bear. Wegner then repeatedly experimented with the «bear effect» with his students – each time the result was the same as Tolstoy's.
«Buns» are not all buns!
Michael Motley of the University of California decided to prove the non-randomness of our speech errors. He formed several groups of men, and some were greeted at the beginning of the experiment by a middle-aged professor and others by an assistant, whose attire blatantly demonstrated «feminine charms». Reading a certain set of words in her presence, the men not only made more mistakes, there was a high proportion of reservations with sexual overtones among them.
Finally, Motley asked the men to continue the phrase «The old man baked big… out of flour», using various words such as «bread», «pies», «pizzas», «pies», etc. If Freud himself had been present at the experiment, he would have given it a standing ovation: under the influence of the attraction to a girl in a revealing outfit with a deep cleavage, most men chose the word «dual purpose» – «buns».
The fact is that back in «Psychopathology of Everyday Life», Freud told of a young man who in conversation with him could not remember the quite neutral Latin word aliquis (someone), constantly stumbling over aqua (water), sanguis (blood) or fastis (calendar). Freud dug deeper and discovered the reason for the forgetfulness: his interlocutor's brain blocked out disturbing thoughts about his mistress' delayed menses, but his anxiety still broke through in a form of his reservations.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar!
There is, however, one subtlety here. Does every reservation we make have sexual connotations? Does the «lack of sex» in the vice-president's speech mean that Bush and Reagan were intimate with each other? And some experts in the U.S. made such assumptions quite seriously! Obviously not.
This was successfully proved by a contemporary of Freud, the Viennese philologist Rudolf Meringer, who thoroughly analyzed his collection of many hundreds of mistakes. It must be said that Freud himself most likely did not consider any of our words, used objects or performed actions to be «sexual» symbols either.
There is a parable about how Freud, who loved to smoke cigars, was once pointed out that this elongated object was, according to his own theory, a symbol of the phallus. Freud resolved the apparent contradiction very simply: «Gentlemen, – replied the founder of psychoanalysis, – sometimes there are cases where a cigar in the mouth is just a cigar and nothing more!». Belgian psycholinguist Rob Hartsjoeker argues that Freud is not so wrong in this case: modern evidence suggests that true Freudian reservations are quite rare.
Accidentally saying to one's wife «you're an old map» instead of «my sunshine» is more characteristic of an anecdote than of real life. However, when a TV presenter says «pussy» instead of «song», «climax» instead of «Klimovsk», or «big-dick tournament» instead of «Grand Slam Tournament», it's hard to escape the thought that Sigmund Freud's theory of speech sublimation is correct.
Even a mentally healthy person would be cognitively dissonant if he were to «love children in the literal and figurative sense of the word», as ex-President Viktor Yanukovych said.
Predicamus suffered
However, most reservations are quite harmless, often composed deliberately, and, except for laughter and positive emotions, do not appeal to anything. These are so-called «spoonerisms», named after the famous Oxford professor Archibald Spooner, whose reservations have amused generations of students and teachers.
Thus the words of the hymn «Conquering Kings Their Titles Take» became Spooner's «Kinkering Congs Their Titles Take». It is difficult to determine whether the wily professor did this deliberately, mocking his listeners, or whether the clauses were the result of his phenomenal absent-mindedness, of which there were legends.
In any case, spunerisms have long been a fact of the literary game, giving rise to numerous «in the forge sat the grasshopper», «zapletok lazhen», «Bronetemkin «Ponosets», «champagne stakanskogo», «Predskazamus nastradal», etc.
Clearly, there is no sexual connotation to this intentional play on words, and «grass in the forge» signals only your sense of humor, not your lebido at all. And this grammatical error is really just a mistake, too (the correct word is «libido», as you may have guessed).
