Sports legends don’t just happen. They get made up! Listen to a sports fan get things right about some of the most controversial plays in football and baseball history.
The Immaculate Reception is legendary, but you will learn how and why the referees called it wrong! Imagine the headlines if the referees had called the pass, which really struck Frenchy Fuqua before its reception by Franco Harris, an incomplete pass!
The Reggie Jackson Hip Check doomed the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1978 World Series after the umpires missed the right call for Jackson’s interference of a thrown ball. Learn that the umpires DID NOT KNOW THE RULES! Instead of another Yankee championship, the story would read much differently.
The Rob Lytle Non-Call takes the award for not one, but two referee blunders on the same play. A premature whistle stopped a possible Raider touchdown on a Bronco fumble in the 1977 AFC Championship Game and the failure of the referees to huddle over when the whistle blew cost the Raiders possession of the ball. Instead of a Denver win and a boring Super Bowl XII, things would have been different!
Read A Fan’s Folklore: Six Seasons of Triumph, Tragedy and Tough Luck by Dean T. Hartwell to see what sports legends are made of. Available now on Amazon and other fine sellers of books.
Last year my boyfriend and I moved in together and we thought it was going to be amazing and it has been, but I wish I knew a few things beforehand. Finding an apartment together was tough, because we weren’t able to look together at most places since we were in a long distance relationship. That being said our move-in process was delayed a little however, everything ended up working out and I like how we ended up at our little home.
Someone will ALWAYS feel like they are doing more for the other person and doing more in the relationship overall. I’ve read in articles in the past that’s it’s normal and it comes with being a young people in their twenties. It’s also a big step for the relationship so things change and emotions get stronger. Try and realize what your partner is doing and being more considerate when they do help you out with little gestures and maintaining your home together.
Sacrifices begin to happen more often if they haven’t already. You learn that you won’t always get your way and neither will your partner. You’ll come to terms with doing things for them because seeing that you made them happy makes you happy and vice versa. You’ll also learn that getting what you want all the time isn’t healthy for a relationship, but working together and compromising is.
There will be times where your place is a mess and it’s because you won’t keep up with the chores you both agreed too when you both first moved in. A schedule gets created and things happen, you’re going to college or work and when you get home you just want to relax so you put off your chores another week. Until one day a month or so later you finally deep clean your home and feel better. Don’t stress about it, try to get one or two chores done a day so you don’t start fighting about it. In the end as long as it gets done, does it really matter who was supposed to do it? As long as you both end up working together to clean your home, it shouldn’t matter. Don’t waste your time on little things, focus on spending time together and being together because the time will FLY by!!!
Paying bills together is great and feels so grown up except when you decide you want to buy stuff and then start worrying about your bills. Don’t stress about money, just always try to stay on your feet by looking for jobs and having at least one job. I know it’s easier said then done, but as long as you’re trying something should come your way. Sometimes it means taking a job you don’t want, but need for that specific time period. Just remember it’s okay to take a job you think you shouldn’t have to take, and think of how you’re on your own now and YOU ARE PAYING FOR YOUR OWN THINGS. That’s an amazing accomplishment and think of something you like about your job. There’s always one thing you like at your job and it might be better than you think!
Stealing Food is a serious issue and I’m warning you about your significant other right now because they will try to eat your snacks and meals when your aren’t home. Hide your snacks because it’s not a matter of if it’ll happen but when it’ll happen.
The biggest thing you’ll get out of living with your partner is you’ll both grow together. Your bond will grow stronger and you’ll love each other more which you didn’t think was possible. You’ll be growing up together and working together. It’s a great stage to be in when you’re in a relationship because you’ll appreciate all the time you have with one another and see how you’ve each grown as a person and as a couple.
Me and my boyfriend are moving in together next year sometime and as excited as I am I’m still wary about this stuff. I stay at his all the time and sometimes we struggle to compromise but I know that once we work through it we will be stronger than ever. Also thank you for saying that it is normal feel like you’re putting more effort into a relationship than the other person because sometimes I find that really affects me but thought I was just being self absorbed. I can’t wait for us to grow together and become closer and stronger🧡 what a lovely post x
Aww thank you so much! Yeah, I used to think it was all in my head or that my boyfriend didn’t appreciate what I did for him. When in fact we both felt that way, we just have to take a step back and see how much the other person is doing for us and if they don’t see it then help them see what we’re doing for them and how they can help us. Thank yous go a long way. You’ll grow stronger before you know and be so much happier because you’re with each other way more! Glad you enjoyed the post! 💕💕
It made me feel more relieved about the experience and made it exciting. If I’m honest I do need to compromise more and learn when to just let things go, so hopefully I can work on that before we move in!🧡
Trust me when I say I’ve been there and I’m still working on myself to let things go faster! It’s so much easier to just focus on the big picture than small little things that’ll irritate you for no reason. Let it go and be happy with your boyfriend. It’s very exciting I’ll be sure to write more about this topic! This was so sweet 😭😭😭
Yeah please do because there is so much negativity in the world that a piece of positivity goes a long way. I also appreciate that you managed to make these things that may be slightly irritating into positive ways of thinking about it. It’s all about personal growth and we’ll get there and it’ll be totally worth it!🧡
Yess we will get there, it’s all a process. I know I’m not where I want to be, but I’m a lot closer than I was last year! Thank you so much you have no idea how much your opinion means to me! I’ll definitely start posting more about relationships! 💜
This was such a good post! Everything you mentioned is so true. I lived with my boyfriend for two years and it was a lot of work! You truly learn about each other in the most intimate way possible. I think another important tip is to make time for yourself and give yourself some space once in a while. Being around each other all the time can be overwhelming and it’s good to find an activity or something you can do that gives you some alone time. I picked up ice skating and found myself going to the gym a lot just to get some alone time. Not saying that my boyfriend was a horrible roommate or anything! But it was important to have the space. Great post 🙂
Thank you so much! That’s so true, finding a hobby to have your own time, “me time” is very important. I tend to blog in my free time and do crafts besides working out or reading! Thank you for sharing your own experience, glad mine was relatable. 😊
Yes to the hiding snacks part, but I do feel bad about it. So I’ve just left it out and decided to suck it up. My bigger issue is actually on the opposite side of that! He buys too many snacks or food on sale. That doesn’t sound like a bad thing until I point out that a lot of food goes to waste (/waist haha) because we end up throwing it out or I ended up being forced to eat it so it doesn’t end up spoiling.
Hiding snacks is a light issue, but I agree buying food on sale if it goes to waste sucks. My boyfriend and I have been trying to cook more at home to get more out of our money. Maybe try to buy more preservatives?
I was lucky enough to mesh well with my best friend when we moved in together. We agreed on decor, food, cleaning, etc. So thankful for that because taking such a big step can make or break your relationship but it’s also when you find out the most about them.
I agree it’s when you find out the most about them and it definitely decides if you’re going to move further in your relationship or not! You and partner must communicate really well besides having complimenting personalities for everything to work out so well! That’s so awesome! 😊
Little known novel, if not unknown, The Witch of The Low Tide, it's indeed one of the most fascinating novels by Carr.
Published in 1961 , ie in the same year of The Demoniacs, it would seem for the time collocation , a historical mystery. However, to place a novel 50 years before his time , in 1903, doesn't seem to me to write a historical novel; if anything is a clever attempt to move back the time and to be able to describe in detail the company , not only the customs, but also the clothing , architecture , discoveries, cars, the first supplies of electricity for the home . Descriptions so minute and so accurate to leave open-mouthed and at the same time able to bring down the reader into the atmosphere of the facts narrated .
3 ) the alleged strangler vanished into thin air , being able to get out from a cellar where the windows are boarded up from the inside and also is blocked the only exit to the outside.
At first insoluble enigma – gone out from the barred cellar from the inside by two heavy locks and windows locked from the inside - followed a second equally difficult enigma to be deciphered by the means of the intellect : Betty Calder, after arguing very publicly with her sister Glynis that she reached her in her cottage cloese the sea, and after moving away by Cycling, when she arrives to appointment she gave to Garth at 18 o'clock, she finds him already in the pavilion that overlooks the beach .
Garth , however, meanwhile made ​​a terrible discovery , after he was accompanied to villa and to pavilion beside the sea, by his nephew in the car : he found Glynis, strangled , her body still warm , and the tea , packed in a boiling still pot. The reason would want the murderer was still present at the crime scene , because the only footprints in the sand are only those produced by Garth, when he approached the pavilion by the sea, footprints left also by Betty when she reached him . Garth has determined the body to be the sister of Beth , because he is kneeling before and he turned, and after he put things on purpose and then without a will he resulted the broken of a china cup. How did the murderer to strangle her there, if there are no fingerprints , and if the only person who has been seen straying towards the pavilion was the same Glynis wearing a swimsuit of Betty , origin of another quarrel between the two sisters ?
Despite having checked the reliability of statements by Betty about the identity of the sister, and having them confirmed, the police men are not sure that the Glynis murderer has not been made ​​by Betty , perhaps with the abetment by Garth.
Abbot Cullingford , deputy head of the CID , proposes to Garth, his acquaintance, that in return for accepting the proposed versions , he reveals everything he knows about the attempted strangulation of the Marion's governess and why he does not believe to her version . But Garth is an upstanding doctor , who, having been treating Marion, does not want to reveal anything that might damage her , as well as friendship . But the rejection by Garth, causes resentment of Cullingford which removes his support and leaves him in the hands of the Inspector Twigg , who can not stomach hi .
David thinks he knows who is the murderer, he knows Betty is not the murderess, and she imagines that the story told by Marion about the attempted strangulation , has flaws ; nevertheless he is willing to hold off judgment both Marion and Betty , and fatigue becomes unlikely , because Marion , trusting his word, tries in every way to accuse Betty , since the two women are incompatible : David in a dramatic face to face in which come to light unspecified sexual habits of Marion with an unspecified man, in Paris, he forces her to admit things, heared not only by him but also by someone that was eaves dropping at the door.
At this point, Garth looks for Abbot, and in the name of their friendship , he asks him to give him 24 hours, so that he can set a trap the killer and bring him to the police, asking in return as the two women are exempt to testimony and to reveal "scandalous" facts of their past. Meanwhile, it is found that the young Fielding knew Glynis, and how he escaped an attack in the Grotto , i.e. the billiards room , put in the basement of a famous hotel .
In a tight final , the murderer will prove to be just this after the Garth will make understand him to have gotten the truth , but the Inspector Twigg will be to guess how Glynis Stukeley was killed and how and who confused the events so to imply that the crime had been committed in the pavilion , leaving no footprints in the sand .
First of all, The Withch of The Low Tide is one of the greatest novels of Carr : it is a true masterpiece ! Divinely written (the descriptions , as I mentioned before, are magnificent : see the hotel, or even the clothing of the persons involved or even passers-by , and even descriptions of the cars! Carr, who you know was quite fussy , when it was to evoke atmospheres that did not belong him, documenting about periods and events , made an intensive study, no doubt about it ! On more than one occasion that he almost seems to had experienced that atmosphere, that he was found to live those experiences: almost a case of reincarnation that could excite Paul Halter (as long as he did not think of ) .
I noticed one thing , of which I had never noticed before : another stylistic particular by Carr. When Carr wants hit with emphasis a special pareticular , a name or a certain attitude , he makes a caesura: he refers to what he wants to say , then stops and usually describes something ( such as a fireplace with photographs by Betty and parents by David , or a statue or a candelabra with flickering flames or more ) and immediately picks up where he left off, saying with more emphasis that thing he said. In a sense it is always part of that so-called augmentative mechanism , which is present in some of the novels of the first period , for example It Walks By Night : to increase tension, it says something, then you stop and then when you resume dialogue , something happens and what he had said before, it is magnified , because maybe you changed the tone ( for example, the fountain that once seemed so crystal clear laugh, now it seems to do it or a sinister grin, etc. ..
I like to emphasize another detail , or rather two : at the first, the locked room is once again the result of an act. Here it relates to a given spatial and one temporal together : you remember the exemplification of the Conference by Dr. Fell about Locked Rooms at The Hollow Man and what Leona says at Nine Times Nine by Anthony Boucher about it: it refers to spatial elements (such as a room may be closed ) and temporal (when the murder was committed before, during or after the room had been closed). Well, in this novel the two elements are combined to make a truly spectacular trick: Carr in this novel tries in every way to put in the mouth by Twigg and by Garth, Le Mystère de la chambre jaune by Gaston Leroux. But .. there are also other interesting things:
Firstly, the detective who solves the mystery is Garth that is a neurologist who has read Freud's theories about psychoanalysis ( and here Freud gots to do a lot! ), and he is also an author by mystery novels , at one of which he imagines that is going to happen right here: it is as, called upon to solve the case, were an extension by Carr himself, as if he for once had said “Behold, I will solve the case!", constructing a building very complex;
Secondly, if there's a novel it can be taken as an example (not in the case of Locked Room but in the case of the impossible crime ) is Evil Under the Sun by Agatha Christie , which I think is very relevant also in the case of the used place, a beach;
Thirdly , the motive: it is the blackmail, for some unconfessable secret. Here we have to do with psychoanalysis, and in fact anything that comes from a certain type of sex drive : you could almost say that this is the most current novel by Carr, and one of the most unusual : it is very rare to find in the novels by Carr , allusions to sexual motives (whereas it is much more frequent in the novels by Ellery Queen) . But John Dickson Carr when he wrote this novel, he had gone out from England , the nation of respectability. However, the subject matter is very despicable : pedophilia. An adult who engages sexual intercourse with a teenager.
It's interesting to see how Carr , a man, a conservative man, noticed this disturbance of psychological and sexual nature, not from usual prospective for us , men of the twenty-first century, that's as an adult violence against the child, but from the typical glimpse of that time, i.e. always a disturbance of psychosexual origin who cared a child and an adult, but where the child manifested at a later time, a certain power on the adult , a sort of parallelism that other despicable attitude for which the executioner becomes a prisoner of his own victim, according to a mechanism already unveiled by Proust in his Recherche . We have to remember that Nabokov's Lolita was written in 1955: Carr may have been well impressed by this work!
The fourth particular I point out, it's like again, John Dickson Carr in the years ahead, while crafting a problem absolutly magnificent (the crime in the pavilion), when incorporates a double problem ( the locked room in the basement ) ends up focusing on just one, immediately giving of the other problem the easiest possible solution. In a similar situation , perhaps in a more youthful novel , or if Paul Halter had written it , once proposed the problem , it would be done so to give an explanation in line with the difficulty of the problem .
I keep returning to two of them: one the closure of over 100 special schools in the UK, some very good ones in pursuit of the disastrous policy of Inclusion, the other promoting dangerous and unhealthy cycle lanes on twisting, narrow urban streets even more questionable when few cycle on them
Lobbies – egalitarian ideologues with short, medium, and long-term memory loss the one, and Sustrans, an auto-phobic, egocentric lobby, the other, both high-jacking Parliament;
Downright lying in the name of the Local Government Ombudsman not accountable for it and its cover-up aided and abetted by Bindmans LLP
The sclerotic condition of a self-congratulatory legal profession – Chantal-Aimée Doerries QC, the new chair of the Bar Council “The British justice system is the envy of the world.” One place where Equality should be – before the Law – absent.
Running through everything, morality pre-empted every time by raison d’etat and the media rarely objecting.
See the danger when solidarity with your colleagues or just doing your job,maybe because you can’t afford to lose it, pre-empts personal integrity.
The train driver transporting Jews and others to Auschwitz says that he is just a train driver; mind you, in his case if he refused to do his job he and his family would have ended up in Auschwitz. No such excuse for the apparatchiks in the offices of the Local Government and Legal Ombudsman who sit at their computer terminals and do the job they are hired to do right or wrong.
That is where I now am. My broad conclusion: it is high time that the Left started to think outside the prison walls of its past and the Right outside its Goldfish bowl. The Privilege of the Right plus the Dogma of the Left explains all.
“Nine elite schools provide path to power…. Former pupils 94 times more likely to reach the top than anyone else. Charterhouse, Eton, Harrow, Merchant Taylors, St. Paul’s, Shrewsbury, Westminster and Winchester.” < Times 31.10.2017 page 22 > Not even counting the lesser public schools! Clever? Probably. Street-wise? Probably not.
The Left is shackled with its egalitarian dogma. “Equality of opportunity” to go to a University for half a year’s cohort of pupils and, for years, no thought to opportunity for the other half. No wonder we have had to import skills from around the world. They were aiming at the wrong target – Grammar Schools. It should have been bog standard Secondary Modern Schools. As a headline in the TES said recently Do car mechanics really need to study Bronte? Germany doesn’t do so badly without a National Curriculum.
They made selection a dirty word when you need to differentiate between academic and vocational skills and totally different needs; yes, and promote excellence and, with it, inequality.
To that end they closed Polytechnics, technical colleges, and technical schools because diplomas were not equal to degrees. Likewise, they closed special schools to give children a right to go to mainstream school, a right to be bullied, a right to be deprived of skilled teaching and caring. The academic excellence gap is supremely irrelevant. Everyone in their own terms can be excellent. I saw this for myself as chairman of Governors of Barbara Priestman School in Sunderland. As Fredwyn Haynes its headteacher used to say, all his pupils needed was time, not always provided in mainstream schools. Thank goodness the parents’ campaign to keep it open was successful.
Worse. They ended State Scholarships, yes initially substituted means tested grants, but then introduced student loans. This discouraged ambition from low earners avoiding the need to repay them and penalised ambition for high income earners saddled with debt up to £50k – I say enslaved by it* – and who cannot get a mortgage for a new home or put money into a pension. And this in the name of social mobility. Immobility.
To gain power, ostrich-like the Left now leads students to believe that the State can find the money to free them of debt and fund Universities along with all else they promise in their Socialist Utopia “the wouldn’t -it-be-nice-if scenario, where we all live happily ever after”. Maybe they imagine that Quantative Easing QE – printing money – in their Father Christmas State will foot the bill. Jeremy Corbyn’s Paradise.
OFSTED REPORT IN 2013 “Too many non-selective schools are failing to nurture scholastic excellence” You should read the report and remember that we live in a competitive world where our standard of living and payment for public services depend on what we earn as a country.
If everyone can’t have a Scholarship or a bursary or a grant is that really good reason gifted, talented and ambitious students shouldn’t get a helping hand to get into Oxbridge and access FE generally specially to obtain skills that the country badly needs – and into public schools too?
I and others went to Oxford with a State Scholarship from Bede Grammar School in Sunderland, in what was at the time a working-class town. Marcus Lipton CBE (1900 – 1978) was a Labour MP for Brixton. Born in Sunderland and educated at Hudson Road Council School, and Bede Grammar School. He too went with a Scholarship to Merton College Oxford. And my good friend Peter Batty, author and journalist, Bede Grammar School, and Queen’s College Oxford. His father worked in the shipyards. He cycled to Oxford for his interview.
The UK should play to its strengths. It shouldn’t always focus on the disadvantaged. It should be getting more talented people from the industrial heartlands of the UK as the decision makers of tomorrow, not just asset strippers, make-a-quick-buck-bankers and those who read Greats.
And, if the public schools have charitable status then at least a quarter of pupils should have social backgrounds compatible with it; it should not be just an aspiration and with an understandable bias to children of their own come on hard times. Multi-national companies should be encouraged to help fund bursaries and scholarships. In their interests to talent spot. And Eton kids should reserve their upper- class garb for Halloween. It is just a bit off-putting for those born on Coronation Street.
Snippet No. 21 Sin a little and Promote Inequality. Bring back State Scholarships and give Diversity a chance.
