Might that be his scrawny figure running along the sidewalk, desperately looking up at me? Why does he throw his arms out in seeming supplication? Even as I stare down, the boy leaps and makes a convulsive contraction of his whole body, as though something has socked him in the stomach. Then he lands, straightens, and mimes a casual throw. A football fantasy! Perfectly acceptable by Dixon standards. But he better not pretend he’s Richard III....

Paul Clement striking out on his own The incident occurred during last Saturday’s 1-1 Premier League draw between the sides, but was not punished by referee Kevin Friend at the time.

Ten years after my first high, I found myself in a hotel in Manchester, England. I’d spent the weekend, and my paycheck, on booze and cocaine, and I hadn’t slept for 48 hours. I felt broken and alone. I didn’t want to live but I didn’t want to die, either. I was in no-man’s land; the game was up and I knew I needed help. I checked myself into a hospital and began the journey to recovery, and I am now sober....

When picking fabrics for ice-dyeing, stick to 100% all-natural fibers like cotton, rayon, linen, silk, and wool. Synthetic fabrics like polyester don’t take well to dye unless it’s very hot. If you’re using the Tulip-brand 1-step dye kit, you don’t need to do this. Just pre-wash the fabric, set up your ice-dyeing station, and get to work! Use a cooling rack that fits inside the tub if possible. It’s easier to pack ice on top of the fabric with the tub’s walls holding it in place....

According to doctors my parents saw when I was younger, I wouldn’t be able to walk or do a lot at all. They also told my parents that the best thing they could do would be to put me in a home with other people who had disabilities.
