Perhaps one of Hoggs finest moments at Cardiff was when he scored one of the Cardiff Goals in their defeat of the invincible Tottenham Hotspur in front of 48,000 (yes 48,000) fans at Ninian Park Cardiff on March 11th 1961 (the Spurs went on to take the League and FA Cup double). Hoggs goal is described in the Cardiff club history as ‘one of the finest scored on the ground’. Here is a contemporary description, "Hogg who looked more like a solicitor than a footballer made a mazey run through the Spurs half beating several players. He finished with a rasping shot that had goal written all over it". Hogg left Cardiff and league football in 1963, finishing his playing days at Kettering Town. In total he played 283 League games scoring 44 goals, as one of this countries last ‘roving wingers in the Stanley Mathews mold' he made many many more. Hogg represented his country on 2 occasions playing for an English League 11 in 1955 and an English FA 11 in 1956. Many said that he should have been given the opportunity of playing for his country more often.

Ima Hogg |
1882 - 1975 Miss Ima was involved in a wide range of philanthropic projects. In 1929 she founded the Houston Child Guidance Center, an agency to provide therapy and counseling for disturbed children and their families. In 1940, with a bequest from her brother Will, who had died in 1930, she established the Hogg Foundation for Mental Hygiene, which later became the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health at the University of Texas. In 1943 Miss Hogg, a lifelong Democrat, won an election to the Houston school board, where she worked to establish symphony concerts for schoolchildren, to get equal pay for teachers regardless of sex or race, and to set up a painting-to-music program in the public schools. In 1946 she again became president of the Houston Symphony Society, a post she held until 1956, and in 1948 she became the first woman president of the Philosophical Society of Texas. Since the 1920s she had been studying and collecting
early American art and antiques, and in 1966 she presented her collection
and Bayou Bend, the River Oaks mansion she and her brothers had built
in 1927, to the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. The Bayou Bend Collection,
recognized as one of the finest of its kind, draws thousands of visitors
each year.

S. Hogg

(1851-1906) First texas born Governor. Even among larger-than-life Texans, Hogg was an imposing figure. At six feet two inches and two hundred and eighty five pounds, the feisty governor was a popular advocate of the common citizen and did much to strengthen public respect for law enforcement in general. He sponsored anti-trust legislation and helped establish the powerful Railroad Commission during his tenure as governor. When Jim Hogg was governor of Texas he went to New
York to a political convention. The main speaker was Irwin S. Cobb, who
was a humorist, i.e. like Will Rogers, or the Bob Hope of his day. He
was introduced to the Governor and Mr. Cobb said to him "Well, I guess
you know what we do with hogs in New York". Governor Hogg replied, "No
sir, I don't. But I know what we do with cobs in Texas". Submitted by

From an email from Carol Thoma I'm in the process of correcting page proofs for my biographical article on Thomas Jefferson Hogg, which will be published in the New Dictionary of National Biography in about 2003. I noticed an error in your synopsis of T. J. Hogg. It was Lady Jane Shelley, Shelley's daughter-in-law, not Mary Shelley, who authorized the biography of her long-dead father-in-law. (She and her husband, Sir Percy Shelley, later withdrew their authorization and demanded the return of their materials because of the inaccuracy and flippant tone of the biography.) Mary Shelley died in 1851. Hogg's blunders and distortions (and the motives behind them) were the topic of my 1993 doctoral dissertation, Hogg's "Life of Shelley": A Pseudo-Biography. Hogg's motives in distorting Shelley's biography were mixed. For one thing, he wanted to make himself look good--that is, he wanted to disguise his own youthful radicalism and the fact that he (at age nineteen) had tried to seduce Shelley's sixteen-year-old wife, Harriet. (Shelley himself was only nineteen and had left Harriet under Hogg's "protection" while he went home to ask his father, Sir Timothy Shelley, for money. Sir Tim said no.) Hogg also contributed to the philosophical essay "The Necessity of Atheism" that got Shelley expelled from Oxford. Hogg was expelled, too, not for helping to write the essay but for "contumaciously refusing" to reveal the author's identity (the Oxford dons knew perfectly well that it was Shelley). Hogg resented their joint expulsion and never forgave the Oxford authorities, and he wanted to depict himself as a heroic victim in that incident--which meant distorting the evidence at Shelley's (and Oxford's) expense. Having altered the facts in that instance made it easier to do so in other instances as well--and even to alter letters and other documents that depicted Shelley or himself in what he regarded as an unfavorable light. (The "truth" was what Hogg wanted it to be.) Hogg loved Shelley (I don't mean in a sexual way but as a dear friend), but he was also jealous of Shelley's charm and attractiveness to women. Also he was merely talented and Shelley was a genius, a fact he could never allow himself to admit. When Shelley drowned a month before his thirtieth birthday, Hogg was genuinely shocked and grief-stricken. But a few years later he consoled himself by "marrying" the last woman that Shelley had loved, Jane Williams, the common-law wife of Shelley's friend Edward Ellerker, who drowned with him off the coast of Italy. Neither Williams nor Shelley could marry Jane because she was legally married to a sea captain who had deserted her but was still alive. Basically Hogg was unconventional but didn't want anyone outside his immediate circle to know it, whereas Shelley openly lived according to his heterodox beliefs even when that meant leaving Harriet and their children to live with Mary Godwin (who later wrote Frankenstein under Shelley's influence). I think Hogg wanted to tone down Shelley's radicalism as well as his own, but his method of doing so (altering letters and presenting himself as the "volatile" Shelley's sensible mentor) did Shelley's reputation as a poet and a scholar much more harm than good.

NidhoggIn Norse myth, Nidhogg ("tearer of corpses")
is a monstrous serpent that gnaws perpetually at the deepest root of the
World Tree Yggdrasil, threatening to destroy it. This serpent is always
bickering with the eagle that houses in the top of the tree. It lies on
Nastrond in Niflheim, where it also eats corpses to sustain itself.
Nidhogg is not the only serpent whose task it is to destroy the World
Tree. Take a look at the following webpage. It
gives good background on this myth. |
