Bridge: May 8, 2023

“I had a choice,” the Mad Hatter told Alice. “I could let declarer make a game or lose my head.”The players at the Hatter’s were taking a tea break; both Red Queens had been ardent kibitzers.“I was East,” the Hatter said, “and North-South got to 3NT. The Dormouse was West; he judged to lead the seven of hearts. As it happened, a spade would have been best.”Declarer, the March Hare, saw that he was safe unless West had five hearts. But East surely had a heart honor; West would have led the king from K-Q-J-x-x. So by putting up the ace, declarer might block the suit. Moreover, he would not face a spade shift.FINESSE“When South played the ace,” the Hatter said, “I wanted to unblock my queen. But you know how that Queen of Hearts feels about having her card captured. So I followed low. South came to his hand and lost the diamond finesse, but we couldn’t beat 3NT. At least I kept my head.”East’s cor...

Ask Amy: I set a high bar for how my boyfriend looks, and I wonder if that’s why I don’t have one

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:06:41 GMT

Dear Amy: I am a 16-year-old girl. School is OK (I’m a sophomore), but one thing I notice is the fact that I am really judgmental. I tend to have bad and judgmental thoughts about others.For example, if I see a girl wearing revealing clothing, I will call her a “slut” or a “whore” inside my head. Or if I see a boy wearing pajamas or slides or crocs at school, I’ll think of him as “lazy” and “sloppy.”I also have relatively high standards when it comes to having boyfriends. Most of my standards have to do with clothing and shoes.Even though I’ve never been in a relationship before, I will judge the person by the way they look and if they don’t match my standards, then I won’t give them a chance.There is this senior who was talking to me, but since he didn’t match my standards, I didn’t want to be seen with him around school.I’m one of those people who knows what they don’t want rather than what they do want.I’m trying to figure out what is wrong with me, but I guess ...

He also has stakes in Crystal Palace, Belgian second-division club RWD Molenbeek, and Brazilian team Botafogo.Aulas took over Lyon back in 1987, when t...

She was lucky enough to have a partner who was in the relationship 100%, family in the area and financial resources; and yet, she struggled.She wondered about what happens to p...
