Good morning! We didn't get the final report on the CT scan until this morning and both scans are clear!! Yay!!
Yesterday I decided to look at the screen for the MIBG bone scan and afterwards I was able to text Jon that to my untrained eyes, it looked clear. (Jon is always with us, but never in the room while John is being scanned. This is the system we've worked out.). I left that scan feeling confident.
CT was our next stop and that went quickly (I can't see anything during this scan.) and we headed off to meet up with Jon for a snack because my kid was STARVING (His word.). On the way there he informed me that he cheated on his hearing test that had taken place the day before. The results showed improved hearing in low frequencies and the same level of hearing loss at high frequencies. When I inquired how he "cheated" he shared that if he couldn't tell for sure if he heard a beep the audiologist seemed to look at him at that point and he would just raise his hand. This was a new audiologist to John and we both liked her a lot. I tried to explain to John that his results for hearing may not be accurate and he could have cared less. He will be tested again in 3 months and I will suggest they spin his chair around so he is looking at the wall and NOT the audiologist! The audiologist did tell me where his current hearing is at he qualifies for DAHH (Deaf and Hard of Hearing) services at school if we wished to have him monitored that way. This was surprising for me to hear that as his results were some better (although maybe not rightly so, but she didn't know that) then last time. If his hearing ever becomes an issue at school or for his learning Jon and I will have no problem seeking that help, but for now we both feel they aren't needed.
Lunch was over by the time we hit the cafeteria so John snacked on pretzels, Oreo cookies, watermelon and cantaloupe….talking the entire time!
Next stop was the clinic for results. I shared John's cheating hearing test scandal as they discussed those results with us. The doctor and Cindy thought he was very clever. We learned right away that the MIBG scan was clear and that the CT hadn't been read yet. I was very proud of myself when they asked me if it would be ok if they called me with the results and I calmly said yes AND I actually felt ok with that. I'm not sure where the confidence came from, but I really did feel good about everything. Usually I am talking myself out of physically getting sick while waiting for the results.
On Wednesday John visited the Star Studio at the hospital and gave Dude the money he raised at our garage sale and selling beverages. John loves seeing the Dude. 🙂
Thank you once again for the prayers and love. Your support continues to carry our family along on this journey and we are so blessed by each and everyone of you! Thank you for giving us strength to keep on keeping on!
(12 weeks until the next set of scans)
Love, Hope and Blessings,
Shelly and the guys

text: Emma & Lloyd got married on the 21st August 2014 at Ringwood Hall in Chesterfield. I joined Emma & the girls excitedly getting ready before the service and caught up with Lloyd and his groomsmen. Everybody was keen to keep their eyes on the weather as Emma & Lloyd planned to get married outside – and fortunately for all of us it stayed dry and the service did take place outside in Ringwood's beautiful gardens. After this we headed up to the rose gardens for canapes, drinks & photo's. The wedding breakfast & speeches then took place in the marquee before myself, Emma & Lloyd headed back outside for some more photo's in and around Ringwood. There was a lovely laid-back atmosphere all day and it was clear everybody had a great time

It takes a lot of preparation to be ready for the opportunities when they come along – being prepared makes a difference in your best blogspots and with Facebook marketing.
Your visitors will come back if you always offer them with something new. Guest blogging. Reciprocal linking maybe considered old school but it still works. Instead of just asking bloggers to link with you, why not write an article for their blog where you can of course, insert the link of your blog or website?
We all know that the web has been changing industries for more than a decade. Blogs, social media and the increasing number of boutique consulting firms has accelerated change in the professional services world. yahoo finance blog blogs and the meteoric rise of marketing automation have added fuel to the fire. fashion blogger list is absolutely necessary for firms to adapt.
7 content marketing trends to watch in 2016 There are some free keyword tools out there but if your serious about making money online then you need to invest in the right tool to really assist you in your keyword research. earn money online vary in price but a good keyword program will cost approximately 100 dollars. This is a must have when deciding what do buy with 200 dollars and brings the total to $145.
Next thing you want to do is to actually promote the articles you have written. Your goal is to get your article into as many links as possible such as the most published author, toptravel viewed, et cetera. To get top viewed, you can either use the directory's own natural traffic or you can send in your own traffic.
content marketing blogs Company presentations or white papers. If you're in a B2B business, chances are you or your colleagues have given presentations or white papers to explain your product or educate customers. These are great pieces to use as a starting point for an article, blog post, or FAQ page on your website. You can either recycle still-relevant content in its original form, write an update, or use an old position as a starting point to argue a new perspective.
For years, radio branded itself as the intimate friend, the whisper in the ear. Yet never did top 20 blog sites cut both ways. They're called finance blogs uk after all. That's their job.
Next blogger list of blogs need to generate original variations of your keyword optimized article. Because food and travel blogs will be sending this out all over the net, each article has to be unique. Google isn't a great fan of duplicate content. I imagine you could just write a few hundred different articles and send them out, but that would not only be unachievable, but a waste of time and energy.

Most of the time I don't mind getting lost; you see something that you hadn't meant to see (good and bad) and generally speaking you can get back on track at some point. Granted when you are lost on a hiking trail in a downpour or lost on your way to an interview or appointment that is another problem… I named this blog "Joyfully Lost" because you could probably drop me anywhere in the world (sub-artic) and I would be pretty happy exploring. But I also titled my blog thusly because I am still working on becoming joyfully lost in life (because I am most definitely lost). I have no idea what I'm doing next, I have a plane ticket home but until I'm on the plane I have no idea whether I'll go home or not and even then there is that stopover in Amsterdam that could provide a tempting exit point.
Generally speaking I have followed a prescribed path through high school and then university; even my year in Japan I was still moving towards my Bachelor's degree. This has mostly been my perceived track in life but I have never seen the path ahead of me to know if it is correct or not. It is the path behind me that has served of a guideline of sorts to how I should proceed. I make judgments based off my environment, my past experiences (this worked and that didn't), and what direction I feel God is pulling me in.
But while this is the area of life that I am constantly lost in it is also the area of life where I have the most problem reconciling the ideas of "joyful" and "lost". I keep wanting to plan for the future; I want to know what I am going to do in my life and I want to know if I will have a conventional career and what that will look like and I want to know what I would enjoy doing the rest of my life. I want to know if I'll ever graduate university, if I'll get my master's degree, if I'll live abroad… The questions go on. And they aren't bad questions in and of themselves, most people ask them.
I don't want to live an aimless life; the kind of life where I drift through the easiest doors. And at the same time trying to plan for the future has been a trial that makes me think and aimless life might have its appeal. Through my life I have made some life decisions based on perceived futures that don't exist anymore and I look back and wonder "what if…." I know that God has a purpose for each and every moment of my life but it is still easy to feel like time has been wasted or that I should have been more decisive in certain situations.
I honestly don't know how to be joyfully lost in life. I don't know how to balance planning for the future and living out every day and moment to the best of my ability. It always seems that I am sacrificing one for the other. If I am focusing on the moment and just living day to day then the big decisions catch me off guard and I miss opportunities for the future. At the same time if I make decisions based on my plans for the future I often sacrifice a lot in the present. I guess maybe the question is how much of the present is it healthy to sacrifice for the future? I don't want to sound like I'm complaining because my life has, for the most part, been incredible. I'm just confused about how to take what I have learned and am learning from this last year and how to apply it to the present and to the future.
I wish I had answers, I really really like answers…. But I don't so I guess I just have to get over it.
For now I am just going to practice being joyfully lost in Christ, trying to lose myself, my desires and my pain, so completely in him that it is His will being played out every day in my life. I think this means having a mixture of living out every day as a follower of Christ; living joyfully in the moment despite my disorientation, and praying constantly that my will is aligned with his and that he will show me enough of what He has planned for me that I can make the right choices for the future. Granted I am going to completely and utterly fail because I'm human and I sin; but at least it gives me a current present goal that doesn't require me to sacrifice the present for the future.
(I feel like this should have been tied into some real life story about me getting physically lost in Africa but it doesn't…. So far I've found my way everywhere I've gone….. but I am confident that there is a chance I could get lost before I leave.)

Born and raised in Missouri, I was taught by the best – KPMG Peat Marwick (St. Louis) and three of the most awesome family-owned businesses in the heart of the Midwest.
After the Big 8 gig was up, I was off to private industry where I worked for one of the most amazing family-owned businesses in the country.
Nearly 10 years later, I would join CFO free agency because I wanted to make a difference in the hearts and minds of business leaders by delivering financial confidence and capabilities in a unique and compelling way.
In short, my clients now 'get it' from a financial perspective. Add financial confidence on steroids for business owners that already understand operations, marketing, business development, and leading people, and in return you get a business that is going to win (or should).
More importantly, the end result for every business I work with is a more valuable business–one that's very sellable or one that can easily survive the next generation if that is the goal of the owner.

Since creating this website in 2013, my writing and analytical ability have developed past that displayed in many early posts, and my views and understanding of the world and many of the works I've covered have changed. This often niggles me, and I've considered deleting some posts, leaving what I consider my best, but as they're still popular and serve as a testament to how much I've accomplished over the years, I've instead decided to create this post. I'll be reviewing my past posts, seeing what I still agree with and what I don't, and clarifying my current views. Who knows, maybe this will turn into an ongoing series as my perspectives are constantly evolving, and there may be other posts I discover I have issue with!
The motivation behind this post was to praise economical writing and the song's use of it. However, due to the lyrical content I'm examining, it could come across like I'm critical of the armed forces. I'm not, but at the time, I probably wouldn't have thought twice about going along with someone who was. I have no great knowledge or strong opinions about the military, but I'm greatly admiring of anyone willing to make a sacrifice in aid of others.
I don't believe now the creators of Alien (dir. Scott, 1979) intended to criticise female empowerment, and I don't think I believed it at the time. There's actually a stronger argument for exactly the opposite, and aspects of the film I focus on can all be reinterpreted to support this. We do indeed see a future society without gender divides, and it works out pretty well as the strong female character, Ripley, ends up saving the day; it's only because the male crew ignored her quarantine command that they got into trouble in the first place. The alien, symbolic of man's bestial sexual nature, turns the male crew into victims of sexual violence, in ways previously beyond their comprehension; one even experiencing a painful childbirth as a result. The porno mag scene is clearly designed to be critical of female exploitation and sexual violence; the rabid Ash, spewing white goo, forcing the phallic magazine down Ripley's throat. And although we do see Ripley strip to her skimpy undies for the climax, it's revealed it's shot from the perspective of the alien, forcing the male audience ogling Ripley to realise their connection with the beast.
As mentioned in the post, this analysis was inspired by my recent discovery of viewing films through the lens of feminism, and I believe I was motivated more by my desire to explore this exciting new way of looking at films than I was with making a genuine exposé. This is also a symptom of university essay writing, which encourages analysis based on interpretation rather than fact. If you can justify it via your own interpretation of the screen language, it's acceptable, whether you believe it was the filmmakers' true intention or not. I don't have a problem with this, in fact, I'm all for it! Finding connections and meanings in films that weren't necessarily the filmmakers' intention is half the fun of analysis. You can get into trouble, though, if you're stringently critical of filmmakers for meanings in their films you've created yourself. I'd like to avoid ever coming across like this in future.
Aliens (dir. Cameron, 1986) does indeed reward Ripley with a family, symbolically returning her to the role of loving wife and mother. I don't believe now, though, that this has to be viewed negatively. She's never once depicted as weak in comparison to her male counterparts or shown she doesn't belong in the heat of the action; quite the opposite. She draws strength from her maternal instincts, as male action heroes often have from their paternal ones (protecting family, being rewarded with one; common action movie tropes: see Mad Max), and this is to be commended. You maybe wouldn't want 'independent woman becomes wife and mother' to be the plot of every action movie, but I don't think there's anything sexist about it here.
I think I make some good points in my analysis of Alien 3 (dir. Fincher, 1992) – an underrated film – in particular, recognising its depiction of a patriarchal society and rape culture; there's depth to this film that's often overlooked. There are a few points that were maybe just my own interpretation, tying together the overall point of the post, and not the director's intention (the symbolism of Ripley's sacrifice for example), but as I said earlier, that's half the fun of analysis!
My analysis of how Love & Monsters criticises fans who have a very inflexible view of what Doctor Who should be comes across a bit hypocritically intolerant. That was not my intent. I would never want to suggest people aren't entitled to an opinion, more that people who are unwilling to accept the greater possibilities of what Doctor Who (and life) can be are missing out on a lot of strangeness, darkness, and madness!
In the first of my Mad Max 2 (dir. Miller, 1981) posts, I posited that, despite their misleading appearance, the Marauders have more in common with traditional society, and the Settlers have more in common with the counterculture, but it is their more traditional beliefs that are their weakness. I think now, rather than representing any particular group, more simply, the Marauders represent what Miller considers the evil of humanity, and the Settlers, the good. The Marauders rape, war, pillage, they operate via a dictatorship, and they're stuck in a cycle of selfish consumption. They lack a higher purpose and a desire to better themselves, which the Settlers have, along with democracy and a sense of community, family, and loyalty. The Settlers' connection to self-sufficiency ties them with the counterculture (Pappagallo is a bit of an old hippie) but that's more to do with the film's criticism of fossil fuels (such an ironic theme) than an attempt to connect them with a particular group, and they possess many traditional qualities. Max is tempted over to their side and away from the marauding lifestyle once he's given a purpose and a chance to better himself. The fact he's betrayed – although he doesn't seem too bothered about this – does add some ambiguity to the Settlers, but I don't believe it's their traditional beliefs that are being called into question. Perhaps, instead, it acts as a warning that although we require purpose in life, devotion to a cause can sometimes cloud one's morality. I posited that the Settlers' traditional community values give them a distrust of outsiders that prevents them from truly accepting the marauder-like Max and that their religious conviction leads to their act of betrayal. I no longer believe this. Their initial distrust of Max is just a logical reaction, and their belief in paradise and Max's martyrdom does not act as a criticism of religion, rather an endorsement of purpose and sacrifice and the spiritual power of storytelling.
GEORGE MILLER: "there's something that compels us collectively as human beings to find meaning in the universe. I mean, we can't exist without that. And we do it through stories and narratives in order to explain the universe to ourselves. Or life to ourselves. And in all cultures across all time and space as humankind, we do that. We do that spontaneously. And I think that's the function of storytelling, and some stories are so compelling, they become mythologies and indeed religions."
In my Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (dir. Miller & Ogilvie, 1985) post, I posited that it 'also' acts as a criticism of traditional (Western) society. I was closer to the truth in this case as it does offer a blatant critique of capitalism and seemingly supports a Marxist philosophy. However, knowing little of economics or politics at the time (I'm still far from an expert), but having done a little research into Marxism, I was quick to side with this critique without pinpointing any possible flaws. For example, we see those at the bottom of the hierarchy offered no payment for their services and no opportunity to climb the ladder. Not really reflective of capitalism. This lack of opportunity for social mobility, and the fact Pig Killer and his ilk are working solely in service of the state, arguably aligns Bartertown more closely with communism. Either way, as I've mentioned, economics and politics are not my expertise, so I'll keep away from siding with political ideologies, as I did here and in other posts, in future (certainly not before doing more research). The film also offers a more pointed criticism of religion, suggesting it can halt social progress. However, Savannah's final monologue, again, endorses the spiritual power of storytelling, and the fact the Lost Tribe reach 'paradise' by plane, hints that there may have been some truth in their prophecies.
This was a piece of coursework written in the final year of my degree that I later posted on my website. It again suffers from the university essay 'interpretation over fact' philosophy. It's unquestionable that Strangers on a Train (dir. Hitchcock, 1951) and Psycho (dir. Hitchcock, 1960) used homosexuality and transvestism to enhance their killers' perversion, that Strangers' protagonist, Guy, was a prototype final girl, and that these films, as well as real-life killers, had a huge influence on the slasher genre and its continuing characterisation of homosexuals and transvestites as deranged deviants. However, I don't believe for one second and didn't at the time that every final girl is symbolically a male in the midst of a sexual crisis. The concept just allowed for a new spin on the material that would make an interesting essay; much like my Alien analysis.
As they were based on interpretations of the earlier movies that I now disagree with, my hopes for Mad Max: Fury Road (dir. Miller, 2015) now, on the whole, don't reflect what I'd be hoping for from a new Mad Max movie. I'm not particularly interested in the series giving direct criticisms of capitalism (or the rock industry. Where did that one come from?), more human ills in general. I'm not sure why I was hoping for a clearer critique of the military, having no strong opinions about it (see Eat the Gun). I suspect I'd just foreseen the possibility of this happening and felt I should include it. I was hoping for feminist themes (my obsession at the time) criticising female oppression, and again I unfairly criticise heroines with maternal instincts (see Alien Equality). Again, a more rounded view of humanity's ills would be appreciated today. I enjoy the religious symbolism of the series and its contemplations on the spiritual power of storytelling and would always hope for their inclusion. However, while criticism of religious extremism and manipulation are alright with me, I would not hope for a negative depiction of religion in general. Ponderings on the afterlife are, again, alright with me, but I'm not sure why I was seeking a definitive statement on Miller's belief in the existence of Heaven or Hell; I'd prefer a little more ambiguity these days. Today I'd give a big 'no' to the possibility of any romantic relationship for Max. Giving him a partner or a family would undermine the self-sacrificing nature of his character; unless they were planning on ending the series. Lastly, I'm still in total agreement with myself that CGI and an overly talky Max have no place in the franchise!
In my Mad Max (dir. Miller, 1979) post, I describe it as my least favourite of the original trilogy due to its morally questionable material. I suggest its depiction of Toecutter's gang vilifies the counterculture, while Max's job as a cop suggests support for the establishment. I now disagree with this. The gang, like the Marauders, more likely represent the evils of humanity, with their lawlessness and purposeless self-indulgence. While Max and his job represent moral duty, and law and order; hardly things to be criticised. The gang's homosexual characterisation is questionable as it bears similarities to the previously mentioned slasher killers, being used to heighten their perversion. However, there is the argument that the use of gay characters is meant to represent a sexually liberated future, with Max's commanding officer, Fifi, also characterised as gay. I label Fifi's characterisation as stereotypical, but he is a unique and memorable character, in a respected position, traditionally held by straight, masculine males, so that was perhaps a little unfair. I also cite Max's traditional family life being presented as the ideal in comparison to the homosexual gang as being problematic. This argument is weakened when we consider the defence of the gang's homosexual characterisation and the true themes of the trilogy, purpose and betterment. Max's family are representative of this as are the surrogate families in the sequels he's given the chance to help and protect (as he failed to do with his), showing the series is rightly supportive of families and the protective nature of the parental figure (see Alien Equality). I was also critical of the film's grim ending, but as this is clearly presented as a tragedy, it is in no way morally corrupt, and actually makes the message harder hitting, as seeing our hero (and identification figure) losing his purpose in life, and giving into the gang culture and survival of the fittest philosophy, makes it easier for us to empathise with the film's themes. Far from being morally bankrupt, Mad Max contains many admirable moral messages and has gone up in my estimations to become my second favourite of the series (nothing can top Mad Max 2).
A further note on the fridging of Max's wife, Jessie, and fridging in general. I referred to Jessie's death as an example of fridging at odds with the feminism of the sequels. Fridging is used to describe instances in which a female character close to a male one is killed to further his arc. I now believe to describe Jessie's death and every instance of this trope as sexist is a little ridiculous. Characters (male and female) close to protagonists are killed off all the time to symbolise themes and further the protagonist's arc; Goose, Max's dog, Mufasa, Newt, Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru. It doesn't automatically make it sexist every time it happens to a female one. After all, it's not their story, it's the protagonist's, and good economical writing dictates it's they who should be the main focus. Not every support character can have agency, be a hero, and have a happy ending; that would just be a mess. It may be the case that more female characters are fridged than males (but thinking off the top of my head, I mostly came up with males), but rather than being a symptom of inherently sexist writing, that's probably more to do with the majority of writers being male and creating male heroes, which I don't think they should be criticised for (good writers write what they know). More female filmmakers and writers would probably reverse this trend (if indeed it exists; I haven't seen the stats). Jessie, and Max's love for her, are symbolic of purpose and betterment, and the lose of the positive influence of a woman in Max's life is presented as a complete tragedy. Male writers should be praised for viewing women in such a way, not criticised.
Much I disagree with here. My central argument is that Furiosa should have been the only wife of Immortan Joe as the Five Wives are superfluous, lacking character and agency, which reduces them to figures of objectification; contradicting the feminist themes of the film. This thinking is based on the rules of economical writing – don't use any more characters than you need to – but I now see why the Wives are needed and where their agency lies. While Furiosa possesses a lot of agency, if she were the only wife, she'd resemble little more than your stereotypical rape-revenge heroine, and while the Wives don't do any of the kick-ass fighting, their agency is that of endurance. They have survived abuse through endurance and had the bravery to decide to seek help and flee their captor; it is they who set the whole plot in motion, not Furiosa. The implication being, abused women shouldn't have to be kick-ass fighters to be seen as heroes; there's bravery in endurance and having the will to escape oppression. It's true they wear skimpy clothing, opening them up for objectification, but the scene I cite where they're washing each other with the hose is shot from Max's perspective, inviting the male audience to ogle them, connecting them with the oppressive male characters of the film. It's the same trick from Alien, and arguably it's used throughout. I still think as characters they're underdeveloped and doing more than just giving one of them a weak love story would probably have been a good idea. Speaking of which, I still totally agree that Nux's sacrifice is uninteresting and we would have connected with it more if it were given to Max. I'm not sure about cutting Max altogether and making this a Furiosa film, it probably could have worked, but having male and female characters learn to work together is a more positive way to go.
My statement that the film doesn't expand much on what we learnt from interviews and trailers is utterly vacant. There's a great deal going on in the film under the surface, but I think my overall disappointment with it on first viewing meant I just wasn't looking. Everything we need to know about the world and the characters is shown to us, instead of repeatedly told, which is how it should be. I'll give a brief summary, but it'd take a whole new post to get everything. It's another amplification of humanity's ills. It depicts society as a perpetual war machine, kept going by a power-hungry man (that's who killed the world) just so he can cling onto power. Women are employed as baby making machines, while the men don't fare much better, being bred and brainwashed solely for war; willing to die for the glory of their divine leader. Like the Marauders, they're stuck in a cycle, with no higher purpose or chance for betterment, which is what they're given via the altruistic actions of our heroes. It's not on the whole how I view society, but it's a credible exaggeration of the worst of humanity and certainly a layered depiction. I still prefer the original trilogy with its zero use of CGI and better use of Max, but I'll gladly admit I was unfairly critical of this first time around.
Never thought this actually could or should've happened – I wasn't campaigning for it – but it would've made a cool (possibly better) movie, and if they got the go-ahead ten years earlier, this could be quite close to how it would've turned out. As it is, I still think it's a nice bit of fanwank.
This post continued the assumptions (I now believe to be incorrect) made in my first Mad Max 2 post about the film's themes and what Max, the Settlers, and the Marauders represent. I also suggest the Gyro Captain's ownership of a snake connects him with Satan and reveals him as the true villain of the piece. An interesting but far-fetched analysis, his snake more likely representing his cunning nature, and his minor deceptions hardly paint him as the ultimate evil.
I cited its subversion of the 'women as reward' trope as something I like about Star Wars (dir. Lucas, 1977), and I still very much like this. However, it's probably its subversion of the damsel in distress character that's more appealing. No one likes the whiny damsel in distress, always stumbling into trouble, which makes Leia's feisty, pistol-packing princess a really enjoyable innovation. The fact she's not given to one of the male characters as a reward for their heroism is a bonus as it allows for a more unconventional story. It also showed excellent foresight as placing her in a relationship would have dulled the character for the sequel, which is eventually what happened (Leia doesn't act like Leia in Jedi). I would like to point out, though, that, like fridging (see Mad Max), describing every instance of this trope as sexist would be ridiculous (not that I was doing that). Of course you want strong female characters, but the guy getting the girl doesn't always equate to sexism. A female love interest may not always be as developed as a male protagonist but, again, it's not their story, and she may be symbolic of very positive views of women (see Mad Max). Furthermore, female protagonists are given men as reward just as often. Some might consider this sexist, though, as it places them in a traditional gender role (you can't win sometimes). Viewing films through the lens of feminism can be interesting and is definitely worthwhile, pushing writers to consider subversions of stereotypical characterisations and worn out old tropes. However, it can also be very restrictive, to both creativity and enjoyment, if you are too extreme in your readings.
I offered Han and Leia's relationship as something I don't like about The Empire Strikes Back (dir. Kershner, 1980). I asked why does she fall for him as all he seems to do is act in a sexist manner and she seems quite adamant she's not interested in him? I rewatched Empire before starting this post in a deliberate attempt to find material to counteract this argument but sadly didn't find much. The first time we see Leia, she's staring across the room at Han, suggesting feelings for him, but it's subtle and easily missed or interpreted differently. Han expresses his feelings more openly, being rather sweet and sincere when he goes to say goodbye to her. Leia is very harsh in her response, and in subsequent arguments, Han suggests she is concealing her feelings. However, not much is done to suggest this is true, as she constantly refutes his claims. It also begs the question, why would she do this? Fear of undermining her position, or of falling in love in such difficult times? Possibly, but again, it's not suggested, as she's constantly depicted as resistant to Han's advances. When Han shows concern for her, she pushes him away, and when they finally kiss, he comes across like a real sleaze, forcing himself on her, and she escapes the situation as quick as she can. It's true she is a bit stuck up and rude and could maybe learn to relax a bit, like Han, but this suggests the theme of the love story is 'she really wants it, she just needs to loosen up a bit', and I can't really defend that. I also criticise Han not telling her he loves her, but more because it shows he hasn't really changed or done anything to deserve her. The line is definitely better than the alternative, suggesting character and avoiding being mawkish, and the feelings are all expressed visually anyway.
I still don't like Leia being revealed as Luke's sister in Return of the Jedi (dir. Marquand, 1983). It's a ridiculous coincidence, mainly done for shock value, and doesn't fit with what we've seen and been told so far. However, my criticism that she doesn't react to the fact Darth Vader is also revealed as her father could be argued against. Her emotional interaction with Han after the revelation suggests distress, and her inability to divulge the truth suggests fear it could endanger her friends. I also state it doesn't affect the story. This is a major oversight, as it sets up the most crucial moment of the climax; Vader using it against Luke, inciting him to embrace his anger and the dark side. It's still a very silly twist, though. It would have been better if the other hope for the Jedi that Yoda refers to in Empire was Vader. It is, after all, Vader who kills the Emperor and destroys the dark side. This would show Yoda's wisdom and strong connection to the Force, knowing there is still hope for Vader, and reveal he was training Luke to turn his father back to good all along (like all his teachings suggest). This is even suggested in the mise-en-scene in Empire as Yoda is surrounded by black and bathed in red (the colours of Vader) just as he delivers the line, "No, there is another."
Well, that, along with finally putting The Darning Needle behind me, was a satisfying purging experience. Now I can get on with bringing you brand new analyses, films, scripts, and other projects in the coming year!

"B.G., I can't walk!"
On Friday evening, May 15, 1998, I enjoyed supper with my family in the seaside garden of our home on the North Shore of Boston. My husband, Bruce (a.k.a., B.G.), and I had lived there for ten years.
After spending the day in Boston, we had been determined to put some unpleasant business behind us during a delightful al fresco lunch at Maison Robert, our favorite restaurant in the city. The weather was beautiful, a clear sunny day in spring with enough warmth to hint of summer, our favorite season, which was just around the corner.
That evening back at our old colonial home, we enjoyed the warm spring breezes as our two young children, Westy and Lindsay, frolicked in the garden. Watching the sailboats in the outer harbor, we laughed and talked as we looked forward to another summer of sailing and tennis in Massachusetts and Maine. B.G. and I had sailed together for years, beginning before we were married. But it was always fresh—a time to appreciate life and reconnect. I never tired of seeing Bruce's piercing blue eyes against the backdrop of the sea. On the water, it seemed as though we were always smiling. It was ever so beautiful, and we felt so alive out there in the elements. Then, of course, we brought the children into it, and they, too, developed a love of sailing and the sea.
In the end, I remember feeling very lucky that day. The children were happy and healthy. They were at a wonderful school right in our neighborhood. We seemed to have the best of everything: good health, a beautiful family, great friends, and a charming home in a lovely town, just up the road from our favorite city. From every perspective, it seemed like a charmed life. From every perspective but one.
The memories of that evening were the last I would have for more than three weeks.
I have pieced together a chronicle of this time by drawing upon conversations and correspondence with the people who endured this ordeal with me. At times, their words help me tell the story.
I awoke the next morning, Saturday, May 16, feeling ill. Both Bruce and I thought it was simply a case of the flu.
"B.G.," I said weakly, "you have to take the children out today and let me rest. I'm exhausted." He looked in on me, guessed I was coming down with nothing more than an unusually bad cold or flu, gathered Westy and Lindsay, and left for a long walk at an old estate in town. The park was beautiful that time of year, with the azaleas in bloom and the garden's famed rhododendrons starting to come out. It was a favorite destination for the whole family, and Bruce and the kids had a wonderful day.
Meanwhile, I spent the entire weekend resting. I don't remember getting out of bed at all, although I later learned that I did—even drove myself to the local hospital for some medicine. By Sunday evening, I was confused and on the verge of delirium.
Bruce had become increasingly concerned as the hours passed and I seemed to be slipping into myself. Finally, he announced, "This is no ordinary flu. If you're not better tomorrow, I'm taking you to the hospital."
By Monday morning, I was definitely not better. Bruce dressed for work, and our children's nanny, Jeanne, arrived. Westy, our seven-year-old son, was up and getting ready for school. Lindsay, our three-year-old daughter, was still asleep and thus was spared the sight of what came next.
"Wendy, you'll have to get dressed," said Bruce. "I'm taking you to the hospital."
"Okay," I said weakly, as I struggled to sit up in bed. But then a frightening problem presented itself.
"B.G.," I said, attempting to get my clothes, "I can't walk!"
Stunned, he stared at me. "You can't walk?"
He helped me dress. I had always been athletic, deriving great pleasure from sailing, skiing, playing tennis, and being outdoors. Now my muscular legs were of no use to me. He slipped them into a pair of jeans.
"Can you hand me Dad's belt?" I asked.
Lying down, I was able to loop my late father's old ostrich-skin belt, which I treasured, through my jeans. Bruce quickly picked me up, put me over his shoulders like a sack of potatoes, and carried me down the stairs. Westy stood in the front hall, watching with his nanny, Jeanne. Both looked extremely puzzled.
Bruce carried me out of the house. I'm told it was a clear, bright morning, the kind when the sun sparkles on the harbor so beautifully, but I don't remember that. Bruce put me in the Buick station wagon, which we had owned for four years. He later told me that I looked at it and asked, "Is this a new car, B.G.?"
Staving off his concerns, Bruce drove to the fine community hospital in the center of town. He stayed with me in the emergency room as physicians examined me, gave me a spinal tap, and kept me for observation. I remember nothing.
"You'll be fine now," Bruce assured me, though undoubtedly, he had a hard time watching the clinical proceedings. "I'll check in later on, when I get to work."
Bruce left the hospital, confident that I was in capable hands. He genuinely felt that what I needed was expert attention, which he could see I was receiving. I apparently had the presence of mind to ask for, and was admitted to, a private room.
Medical Record May 18, 1998
Patient returned to emergency room [where I had checked in over the weekend for a stubborn sinus infection, but did not recall it] with progressive headaches, confusion, neck stiffness, leg stiffness, inability to walk.

I made two phone calls from the hospital that morning to my two closest colleagues and dear friends at John Hancock. Foster Aborn was the company's boyish but exacting vice chairman and chief investment officer. Tim Hollingworth and I had worked as financial writers side-by-side for a decade. Neither was in when I made my calls. However, once they arrived at their offices atop the gleaming, blue glass Hancock Tower overlooking Boston that morning, they found some bizarre messages waiting for them in their voice mail.
I had been Foster's speechwriter for more than a decade, but because of his demanding schedule, I always avoided taking up his time unnecessarily. Why I would have called him when we were not working on a project at the time is puzzling. I can only guess that I must have been frightened, perhaps even terrified, given what had begun to happen. But his empathy and devotion would prove instrumental in saving my life.
"Foster . . . Tim . . . it's Wendy," I began slowly. My speech already showed signs of dysfunction. "I'm in the hhhhhospital. They don't nnnnknow whhhhhat's wrong, and . . . I'm not sssssure when I'll be back to the office."
I rambled on, slurring my words.
Tim and Foster later expressed to me equal amounts of concern and confusion about my messages. Tim recalled thinking I sounded drunk.
In retrospect, the reason I had no memory, the reason I sounded so odd, was clear: my body had begun to shut down.
I was dying.

A big-city lawyer was representing the railroad in a lawsuit filed by an old rancher. The rancher's prize bull was missing from the section through which the railroad passed. The rancher only wanted to be paid the fair value of the bull.
The case was scheduled to be tried before the justice of the peace in the back room of the general store.
The attorney for the railroad immediately cornered the rancher and tried to get him to settle out of court. The lawyer did his best selling job, and finally the rancher agreed to take half of what he was asking.
After the rancher had signed the release and took the check, the young lawyer couldn't resist gloating a little over his success, telling the rancher, "You know, I hate to tell you this, old man, but I put one over on you in there. I couldn't have won the case. The engineer was asleep and the fireman was in the caboose when the train went through your ranch that morning. I didn't have one witness to put on the stand. I bluffed you!"
The old rancher replied, "Well, I'll tell you, young feller, I was a little worried about winning that case myself, because that durned bull came home this morning."
A retiring farmer in preparation for selling his land, needed to rid his farm of animals. So he went to every house in his town. To the houses where the man is the boss, he gave a horse. To the houses where the woman is the boss, a chicken was given. He got toward the end of the street and saw a couple outside gardening. "Who's the boss around here?" he asked." I am." said the man." I have a black horse and a brown horse," the farmer said, "which one would you like?" The man thought for a minute and said, "The black one." "No, no, no, get the brown one." the man's wife said." Here's your chicken." said the farmer.-0+
A man's car stalled on a country road one morning. When the man got out to fix it, a cow came along and stopped beside him. "Your trouble is probably in the carburetor," said the cow.
Startled, the man jumped back and ran down the road until he met a farmer. The amazed man told the farmer his story.
"Was it a large red cow with a brown spot over the right eye?" asked the farmer. "Yes, yes," the man replied.
"Oh! I wouldn't listen to Bessie," said the farmer. "She doesn't know a thing about cars."
A farmer was milking his cow. He was just starting to get a good rhythm going when a bug flew into the barn and started circling his head. Suddenly, the bug flew into the cow's ear. The farmer didn't think much about it, until the bug squirted out into his bucket. It went in one ear and out the udder.-0+
A New York City yuppie moved to the country and bought a piece of land. He went to the local feed and livestock store and talked to the proprietor about how he was going to take up chicken farming. He then asked to buy 100 chicks.
"That's a lot of chicks," commented the proprietor. "I mean business," the city slicker replied.
A week later the yuppie was back again. "I need another 100 chicks," he said. "Boy, you are serious about this chicken farming," the man told him.
"Yeah," the yuppie replied. "If I can iron out a few problems." "Problems?" asked the proprietor. "Yeah," replied the yuppie, "I think I planted that last batch too close together."

Spark Hope
By Rev. Kellie Anderson-Picallo
It's the phone call nobody wants to receive. The words "the building is on fire" can barely be heard against the sirens in the background. And when the building is a 150-year old church and the sirens represent dozens of fire trucks and police responding to a 3-alarm fire, there's no way to prepare yourself for the devastation a spark of flame can create. The Fire Marshall informed us we may never know what caused the First Presbyterian Church of Englewood NJ historic sanctuary and surrounding rooms to burn.
But here's the thing: Sometimes a fire can spark hope and bridge a divide.
The initial phone calls and texts arrived in those first moments while Senior Pastor Rich Hong and I met the firefighters on the sidewalk across from the building. The texts and calls said things like "I'm the Rabbi at the Synagogue just down the street, what do you need?" And, "I'm with the Islamic Center just a mile away. How can we help?" Each outreach offered compassion – and action. Dozens of invitations poured in to offer space at synagogues, Catholic churches, Protestant churches, civic organizations, Islamic centers and on and on. On the night of the fire, all religious divides disappeared on that sidewalk.
As pastors we know how to bring the people to the pulpit. Through social media, the pulpit is brought to the people. Our FPC church yard sign proudly shares that we are worshipping down the street at Temple Sinai. When a synagogue member posted a snapshot of that sign on their Facebook page it was shared and liked more than 8,000 times in the first week alone. And it doesn't matter if a worshipping community is in New Jersey or across the globe, the power of social media to connect is a pulpit like no other. A pastor in Norway just reached out to ask how they could help. Sometimes a fire can spark the reminder that God knows exactly how to keep all of God's children looking out for each other.
We're now approaching our first full month as a mobile and portable Christian worshipping community. For anyone who follows the rhythm of the church scripture cycle known as the Lectionary, you'll note that we are right on target with the stories of the early church. They too didn't have a building and had to rely on listening to God to direct all the next steps. We've grown fond of the word "portable." Maybe because we're comfortable with what it really means – that we are homeless. That the tables have been turned and instead of being the church that twice a year hosts Family Promise to shelter homeless families, it is now our turn to learn how to accept help. We have found shelter in the pews of a synagogue that is preaching as loud as any sermon that kindness, compassion, and willingness to lend a hand trumps any doctrine.
Last week the Rabbi Millstein joined us for our Sunday children's sermon. He taught our kids what a mitvah was and opened the Temple's Ark to show the kids the Torahs. The gasps of admiration were audible.
God can do that to you every time.
Rev. Kellie Anderson-Picallo is the Director of Mission Strategy at First Presbyterian Church of Englewood and an Auburn Media Senior Trainer.

Please contact us today so we can help you choose the best flooring solution for your needsat: 800 343-4355, you can email your request to firstname.lastname@example.com or via our web site www.vulcanstoneflooring.com. You'll be glad you did.
Hydrostatic pressure is caused by underground springs, rivers, and a fluctuating high water table. If water seeps in where the basement wall meets the floor or even up through the floor, the hydrostatic pressure must be relieved and the water diverted to a location where it can be pumped out and away from the basement.
A hydrostatic pressure relief system, one method advocated by the Vulcan Basement Waterproofing people, requires no outside digging or destruction of property. It involves cutting a trench in the floor around the perimeter of the basement, next to the foundation walls. The trench must be excavated down to the footings and in it a system of drain tiles laid. The system must be adequately sized so that it can carry off all the water to a sump pump or drain for removal from the house. After the lines are installed, the trench must be filled with gravel, bleeders installed in the block walls, and the trench re-covered with concrete.

Partial enclosed carports really define our strategy of customizing your building to fit your needs. For example, say you need a carport to protect your car from the natural elements, but you also need storage space for you lawn mower. Rather than buying two separate buildings, we can combine into a partial enclosed building.
You can select a carport that has an enclosed storage unit along with an attached open carport in the front. Or choose one with sides enclosed to provide shelter for your horses or any other animals. On a smaller scale, you could even use one as a dog kennel. The uses are seemingly endless. Additional support arms help strengthen the roof providing durable, long lasting construction.
If you can imagine it, we can create it. Call us now at 866-471-8761 for an estimate.

Don't panic when your kids decide to become vegetarians. As we learned when our oldest took this route 11 years ago, there are still plenty of easy, delicious and nutritious ways for the whole family to eat well. Get started with these 10 child-approved dishes:
1. Falafel
Parents often worry their kids won't get enough protein on a vegetarian diet. Knock that fear out with eggs, cheese, nuts, soy, certain grains, beans and other legumes -- including this crowd-pleasing, crunchy falafel made from canned chickpeas, pictured below. The fried chickpea balls tucked into pita breads can be customized to your tastes with all sorts of toppings, including sauces (maybe tahini?) and salads (eggplant is good). If you've got a little more time, use Chef John's well-reviewed version, starts with dried chickpeas "Even better than the local Mediterranean restaurant," wrote one fan.

2. Veggie Burgers
When you have fresh buns, piled-high toppings, and tasty fillings, vegetarian burgers are as satisfying as the meaty ones. Plain veggie patties are good, whether store-bought or a homemade version like this staff favorite made with black beans. Another tasty option is filling buns with portobello mushroom caps (try this recipe,) "the steak of vegetarian burgers."Photo via BigStock
3. Sushi
Our kids love making their own sushi rolls, and it's a lot easier than you might think. After layering rice on the seaweed, we fill our rolls with tofu or tempeh, along with avocado, cucumbers, and strips of carrot. For extra kid-appeal, wrap strips of seaweed around rectangles of tamago, a sweet egg omelet, to make a sort of nigiri sushi, as shown in this recipe. And if you can find inari wrappers, slightly sweet little pouches made from fried bean curd (available at Asian markets), they're always a hit when stuffed with sushi rice.

Bonus: Here are some great tips on making sushi rolls at home, and this video will help you master every step.
4. Shakshuka and More Eggs
Eggs are an inexpensive, appetizing protein that appeal to most children. While you can't go wrong with frittatas and quiches (try these cute muffin-size versions packed with vegetables!), the North African/Mediterranean dish called shakshuka makes for a simple, savory dinnertime staple. Chef John's "fast, easy and delicious" version of the one-dish meal involves baking eggs in an aromatic tomato sauce and topping them with feta cheese. People also call it "Eggs in Purgatory." Dial the spice levels up or down as your family likes.
Shakshuka/Photo via BigStock
5. Lasagna
Going vegetarian doesn't always mean giving up your family's favorite dishes; often it just means reworking them. Lasagna is just as much of a treat when it's meat-free, as with this "Hearty Vegetable Lasagna" where one commenter said that "my family are total carnivores but honestly we didn't miss the meat at all." This "roll-up" version with tofu and spinach is good for freezing. (While we're on Italian food, you also have endless options for vegetarian pizzas.)Photo via BigStock
6. Taco Bar
Likewise, Taco Tuesdays (or any day) can keep going full speed. Most kids love customizing their meals, so we do a DIY taco bar with plates of taco shells and bowls of fillings -- beans, guacomole, shredded cheese, sour cream, lettuce, and whatever else sounds good to you and yours. (Bonus: Any carnivores in the family can add a meat filling if they prefer.) If you want to just make them ahead for everyone, these "fabulous and filling" Guaco-Tacos can be ready in 20 minutes.Photo via BigStock
7. Fried Rice
Trendy grain bowls are easily tailored to all sorts of tastes and dietary needs, and we've got great tips here on how to make them. But for fast and easy, it's hard to beat the original grain bowl: Fried rice. This recipe bulks up leftover white rice into a filling vegetarian meal with tofu, eggs, hot sauce, and lots of veggies. Fried rice tastes great even with lots of substitutions, so work with whatever you've got in your fridge.
8. Quesadillas
Sandwich almost any yummy combination between tortillas, cook them on the stovetop, and cut them into triangles for an instant hit. It's "so simple" and "so easy" to try this wild rice, corn, and black bean quesadilla, while other versions range from a farmers market special to the sweet-salty-barbecued appeal of apple and gouda. The same theory holds for burritos and wraps; one of our family's favorite weeknight dinners is this yam and kale wrap.Photo via BigStock
9. Lentil soup
Inexpensive, filling, and "family-friendly," lentil soup is a family staple. My kids are especially glad to get hearty soups for dinner because I always make a batch of these unbeatable Grandma Rita's Soft Butter Rolls on the side.Photo via BigStock
10. Pad Thai
Try addictive sour-salty-sweet pad thai topped with tofu instead of chicken or shrimp. This Sukhothai Pad Thai gets high ratings, and here's one with an added egg. The rice noodles in the dish cook quickly, and the secret ingredient in the sauce is tangy tamarind. (If you don't have time or tamarind, you can buy bottled pad thai sauce, but many versions will contain fish sauce, so read the labels -- or ask the kids how they feel about being pescatarians.)Image via BigStock

After you've discovered the city, entered multiple museums and visited a few tourist spots, take a break; close your eyes and enjoy the moment. The following parks in Valencia will help you relax.
Valencia is a marvelous city, full of tourist attractions and beautiful places to visit. But after a while, you need to take a break and relax. In that moment, you should visit the following three parks in Valencia.
1. Jardines del Túria
This park was the first of the three parks in Valencia we visited. We can still remember how our friend took us with his car to Torres de Serranos (the old cities gateway), how we crossed the road and entered Jardines del Túria — a park, that is impossible to miss because it's right next to the historic city centre. It's also quite big, no less than nine kilometres long and it can be accessed from all over the city.
Túria Park has been created at the end of the 20th century after a river in the south of the city had to be deflected because of the Great Flood of Valencia in 1957. The Catalan architect Ricardo Bofill was responsible for the 120 hectare big project. Today, the park spans from Cabecera Park (next to Bioparc) up to the City of Arts and Sciences; it's the perfect place for runners, cyclists, families and nature lovers.
In the vicinity of the City of Arts and Sciences is Gulliver, a 70 metres high construction, is the daily playground for many children. Another highlight is Palau de la Musica (official website here), where concerts are held. The beautiful glass building is surrounded by water and high palm trees.
We really enjoyed this park and visited it daily to take a short, calming walk, enjoy a frozen yoghurt or just to relax for a moment and be surrounded by nature.
2. Jardines de Monforte
In our opinion, this little park next to Jardines del Real is the most beautiful place to relax during an ordinary day in Valencia. It offers you some quiet time and clean air; there are also a lot of architectural details you can admire while you take a break from your travelling.
Jardines de Monforte has been designed during the 19th century in a neoclassical style. Originally, it was a private garden for a Valencian banker, who decorated it with fountains, statues, sculptures, trees and flowers.
In 1941, however, it was declared a National Artistic Garden. Therefore, it is now under the state's protection. Later, in 1970, it became a municipal property; after its restoration, the garden was opened up to the public three years later.
Today, the citizens are allowed to use the garden and yard for marriages. If you are in Valencia, no matter what season it is, visit this garden, choose a bench and spend some relaxing time in this beautiful place.
3. Jardines del Real
Having spent so much time in Jardines del Túria and Jardines de Monforte, we decided one day that we should visit another park which was equally natural and quiet. We arrived in Jardines del Real, where up until 1810, the now vanished Real Palace had been. The garden had been used as a seedbed for many years when Philip the II planted lemon and orange trees to beautify his garden.
In 1869, the garden was given up to the provincial council of Valencia; and that gave up the garden in 1903 to the local council so that it could be used by the town as a seedbed. However, a part of the garden was sold to create orchards. From 1912 onward, the garden was transformed into a public park for the citizens of Valencia.
Today, the park includes palm trees, numerous sculptures, monumental fountains and a splendid rose garden. It also has a big cage that was built in 1933 and houses different bird species. In Jardines del Real, you can find a lake with a waterfall, that ducks and swans call their home. Not to forget, the park has an impressive collection of plants and flowers:
- begonia
- cactus
- clove pink
- ficus
- pine-tree
- fir-tree
- cypress-tree
A whole hour we wandered around the park's alleys. Even if it wasn't a sunny day like usually, we never stopped exploring every corner of the park. Inside it, you can find the Museum of Natural Arts (Museo de Ciencias Naturales) — another reason to visit Jardines del Real.
Museo de Ciencias Naturales
We were in Jardines del Real and the weather was not very friendly on that day in February so we decided to go into the Museum of Natural Arts. It's been open to the public since the 19th century and hosts all kinds of collections from all around the world.
Some expositions in Museo de Ciencias Naturales are permanent, for example:
- Technology and science: The museum tries to recreate an old scientific cabinet from the 19th century; you can find here an old optic microscope from 1910 and an electric version from 1963. Both demonstrate that scientific progress is nearly always attached to technological progress.
- The history of life and its evolution on Earth: A memorable ride through-out the history of planet Earth, illustrated by fossils from all over the world. Especially interesting is the collection Rodrigo Botet, which is the best example of South American palaeontology you can see in Europe.
- Eduardo Rosello's malacology collection: It contains seashells from around the world but also some from Valencia.
- Ecosystems from Valencia: Diagrams and videos present natural areas around Valencia, for example, Albufera, El Saler and Devesa, which we will visit the next time we are in Valencia.
Museo de Ciencias Naturales is definitely worth a visit; it regularly has temporal expositions and pedagogic activities. The entrance fee is two euros; on Sundays and public holidays, it's free. If you bought a tourist card, you can visit the museum for free. Take your time to visit Museo de Ciencias Naturales because it will take around 40 minutes to see everything it offers.

Relief sculptures in Persepolis, from the Acheamenid Empire (500-330 BCE) / Photo ShutterstockPersia is one of the great historico-cultural centres of the world, with a rich heritage from architecture and art objects to literature and a refined cuisine. Little is known of Iran's culture beyond its borders among the greater public. For decades now, Iran's reputation has been dominated by political tensions, violence and (the threat of) war. Knowledge of Iran's culture therefore offers a breath of fresh air.

Distribute visual weight to create the area feel balanced particularly for tiny areas. You can begin by studying to obtain a Diploma in inside design as this ensures you're taking the best step and knowledgeable strategy in direction of achieving a dream. However, a successful interior designer must even have a powerful awareness and understanding of artwork history, space planning, constructing codes, and a range of technical subjects corresponding to building supplies and strategies, lighting, and pc applications.
The Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) has repeatedly accredited the curriculum since 1978. For example, quite than using drafting tables, inside designers now use complex software to create two-dimensional or three-dimensional images. Corporate designers create inside designs for skilled workplaces from small office settings to giant-scale companies inside high-rise buildings.
Industry Certification(s): A student who completes all four courses might be eligible to take the nationally recognized C.I.D. examination from Certified Interior Decorators Worldwide, use the C.I.D. appellation on the end of their names and name themselves Skilled Certified Inside Decorators. For occasion, one limitation to contemplate with interior decorators is that they focus on finishing touches.

Being liked is so over-rated. "Give Paul a comb-over, and we could be talking Donald Trump," says Richard and Judy of Sabine Durrant's 'slimy lead' protagonist in Lie with Me. Stav Sherez says, 'cruelty, horror and atrocity obsess me'. His latest, The Intrusions, was dubbed by Ian Rankin as 'A Silence of the Lambs for the internet age.' Mick Herron's anti-hero, Jackson Lamb, has been compared to Reginald Hill's Andy Dalziel, as 'crime fiction's Falstaff, a glorious Rabelaisian monster.' Shari Lapena's, strapline for her thriller, The Couple Next Door, asks, 'What would you be capable of, when pushed past your limit?' Chair Julia Crouch, keeps the lid on proceedings; Her Husband's Lover left readers constantly wrong-footed in deciding which of her characters deserved sympathy. When it comes to murderously good crime writing, it's the monsters we love to hate.
