Dear sicagogirl,

My boyfriend keeps getting upset when i miss his phonecalls  or i dont send him a text message write away. He gets so mad about everything lately.But the thing is he just sends the messages when I am busy. I don’t know what to do.

Amanda B,

Dear Amanda B,

There are many types of men out there. I don’t have more information about your boyfriend but this is actually a typical problem for many young lovers. Your boyfriend is either overprotective or he is attention-greedy.

Him being over protective would mean he wants to know how you are all the time. Meaning that he loves you a lot. If this is the case then there is not very much you can do but to assure him of your wellness.

If he is just attention greedy, make sure you give him enough attention when you have enough time so that he wont have to send you messages when your not free, making you unable to answer his calls or messages.

The fact that your boyfriend gets mad about everything lately might be due to the fact that you have been missing his calls and messages, making him feel like you are avoiding him or having a slight change of hearth about your feelings towards him. Make sure he knows how much you care about him. You can do that in your own way and adapting it to his character.

Good luck,

Sicagogirl

מרגע לרגע הולכת והופכת ההשערה לידיעה שלא התקבלתי לעבודה בירושלים.

ביום שלישי הייתי באותו מכון בדיקה. היה בדיוק כפי שציפיתי, ועם מראיינת בת 25 שגמרה קורס של 3 שבועות ושאלה שאלות ברמה נמוכה. דקות ארוכות רק הייתי צריך לספר לה מה בדיוק התפקיד של בעבודה. גם זה עבר.

למחרת שיחה עם ירושלים, לחץ בגלל הדרישה הגוברת לממליצים. רק לחשוב שכמעט נתתי את שמה של המנהלת שלי מלפני שנתיים מעלה לי את הבחילה. תוצאות היו אמורות להתקבל אצלה אתמול ביום חמישי.תשובה ממנה הייתי אמור לקבל אתמול.

היום יום ששי, והיא עדיין לא התקשרה.

מרגע לרגע ברור לי יותר ויותר שלא התקבלתי לעבודה, אך לא ברור לי למה היא כל כך מתעכבת בהודעה לי. אולי זו הדרך שלה, להיעלם? למעשה, כבר השלמתי לחלוטין עם העובדה שלא התקבלתי. אני רגוע מאוד בנושא. הודעה אחרת תהיה בגדר הפתעה גמורה. עד כדי כך, שאם תהיה הודעה שבסופו של דבר כן התקבלתי לעבודה, ככל שיעבור זמן רק אעלה את הדרישות שלי ולא אהיה מוכן להתפשר. אין לי מה להפסיד. כי אם תגיע הודעה כזו (והיא לא) היא תגיע כאשר היא תהיה לחוצה מאוד בזמן. ואני לא לחוץ. מקום העבודה שלי  בטוח. התנאים שלי בטוחים. הכל אמנם יכול לקרות גם כאן, אבל לא נראה שמשהו ישתנה. אני מרגיש ששוב הקלפים הם בידיים שלי וההחלטה אם להתקבל לעבודה החדשה היא אצלי. היא תהיה בתנאים אחרים לגמרי ממה שחשבתי, ובוודאי גבוהים יותר. אלא אם כן יש סיבה טובה מאוד לכך שלא קיבלתי הודעה חיובית עד עכשיו. אבל הו, היא צריכה להיות סיבה מאוד מאוד טובה.

Damn I need this, I might actually replace me Mac so I can have this. I love the quote on their site

“We are all at the mercy of our wild monkey minds. Incessantly swinging from branch to branch.”

Beautiful.

How long do you intend to play this game? How long until we give up? How long do I need to keep up with your mind tricks? How long do I need to stick around until you say game over? How many times do I need to go over this in my head? How many blog posts until you’re mine?

Why should I stop? Why should I go on? Why you of all people? And why me? Why do we need to go through all this? Why am I looking for a reason to stay? Why am I looking for reasons to leave? Why am I looking for things to keep myself busy again? Why should I keep insisting on complicating things? Why am I doing this to you?

When should I begin to realize that there isn’t a possibility? When are you going to tell me to leave? When are you going to say that you never want me to leave? When will your heart open up to all these opportunities? When will I ever say that we’re okay? When am I ever going to be over you?

What will you say when I leave you behind? What do you want me to do as of now? What reasons should keep me here? What reasons am I really looking for? What do you feel when I say those words? What do you feel when you hear silence on the other end? What will you do when I decide to finally go away?

Who is that girl who will make your heart skip a beat?

בסופו של דבר הוחלט כן  לפנות אל אותו גורם חיצוני = מכון בדיקה. מצער, אבל אני מוכן לשלם מחיר זה עבור קבלה לעבודה. לכן, מצפות לי היום 9 שעות של מבחנים, דינמיקה קבוצתית, ראיון ועוד הפתעות. דעתי על אותם מכוני מחקר היא ברורה. היא לא תשתנה גם  אם  חוות הדעת שתצא תהיה טובה. גרפולוגיה כמובן סירבתי לעשות, ולכן זה לא יהיה חלק מהבחינה.

תשובות יהיו בעוד יומיים. אם תתקבל החלטה שלא להעסיק אותי, אני אראה את התהליך הזה ואת מה שעברתי לא כבזבוז זמן, אלא יותר כמדד הערכה עצמית לאיפה אני נמצא היום בדרכי  המקצועית. לא טפיחה על האגו, אבל בהחלט הידיעה שאחרי שנה וקצת של עבודה בתחום צברתי ידע כל כך רב, ואולי אוכל לשפר בעזרתו את עמדתי, עבודתי, וכמובן גם את המשכורת. שני  ראיונות העבודה המוצלחים רק מצביעים על אותה נקודה.

אם אתקבל – התנאי הכספי כפי שהעליתי אותו יהיה הדבר הראשון. אני לא חושב שהוא יהיה מכשלה אבל אם הוא יפיל את הנושא, גם אז כל התהליך לא היה לשווא. אם אתקבל – החיים שלי (שלנו) ישתנו לגמרי.

It’s time for my list. I will be working on it, because there are still some things(latest Swell Season, Devendra Banhart, Julie Doiron etc.) that I have to hear. Recommendations are very welcome! Also, some albums might have scored higher/lower than I reviewed them, simply because I listen to them so much. I’m gonna try to review them all. Anyway, some of my favourites:

Dan Mangan – Nice, Nice, Very Nice [9.5/10] [review]
I think this is my favourite album from this year. Cute, teddy-bear-ish-looking singer-songwriter from Canada. He makes you feel loved inside. Good, strong and dynamic songs, nice vocals, very good instrumental work, wonderful lyrics. The best indie pop album from this year. It’s unbelievable that he’s just 26(25?) (date-material! haha!). Dan’s a keeper and you should keep your eye on him! 

Andrew Bird – Noble Beast/Useless Creatures [9.5/10]

Again, a masterpiece made by Andrew Bird. It’s balanced, beautiful and unique. It’s pop, folk, it’s wonderful. I only miss the electric guitar a bit. Still, great lyrics, interesting, wonderful compositions and vocally pretty strong. Useless Creatures is the best instrumental CD I’ve ever heard, might have even listened more to that one than to Noble Beast. Simply beautiful. 

St. Vincent – Actor [9/10] [review]
Annie Clark manages to float above her instrumental chaos. Or at least, it looks like that. Her compositions are actually well made. Vocally, Clark is really strong. It’s a pretty unique CD that you’ll love or you’ll hate. I love it. (read the review I did) 

Jesca Hoop – Hunting My Dress [8.8/10]
To me, she’s live even stronger. Hoop mixes various styles and makes them her own. Great guitar work, great vocals. It might sound weird during your first listen, but it will grow. Especially ‘Murder of Birds’ is a wonderful track.

 
A.A. Bondy – When The Devil’s Loose[review]
I know I didn’t give A.A. Bondy such a high mark in my review. But the album did really grow on me. One of the best folk albums made this year. I listen to it a lot lately, so points for that! 
 

The Avett Brothers – I and Love and You [8/10]
This album is really a ‘grower’, after a while you like it more and more. The Avett Brothers sound really ‘natural’. It might not really be my genre of music, but I love this album. Titletrack ‘I and Love and You’ is a rare song, it’s extremely beautiful. You might have to get used to the(ir) voice(s), but it’s worth it. Overall a very nice album.

The Whitest Boy Alive – Rules[7.5/10]
Simple funky and happy. Don’t expect any musical obscurity from these guys. Erlend Øye got a great voice, some great lyrics and made some great music on this album. Strong bass lines, percussion and light guitar work. But after a while, it get’s a bit repetitive. Still a very nice album, best song to me is ‘1517′. 

Laura Gibson – Beasts of Seasons[7.5/10]
Dreamy folk songs. Gibson got a great voice. This album stands out for it’s simplicety. Her songs are pretty vocally driven, with often some light guitar work underneath it. But also you hear some piano notes every now and then. The perfect album for a sunny autumn day. 

Grizzly Bear – Veckatimest[7/10]
Pretty interesting album, on moments to difficult for me to understand maybe. There are some ‘killer-tracks’ on it, but overall it’s just a pretty solid, nice, album that isn’t really my cup of tea at moments 

Regina Spektor – Far [7/10]
Not as strong as ‘Begin to Hope’, but again a very good album. Spektor goes from weird classical stuff to pop, not being afraid of sounding ’silly’. Vocally strong, but you have to love her voice. No complains about her instrumental stuff, but it’s not really ‘new’. (Best tracks of the album are ‘Laughing With’ and ‘Folding Chair’, these are perfect songs)

Wilco - Wilco(the album) [7/10]
Wilco delivered another good album. Still, it can’t beat Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, but it’s a good try. It’s again the typical Wilco sound(that isn’t really my sound). But it’s a strong, balanced album. 

Franz Ferdinand – Tonight[6.5/10]
Surprising new album from Franz Ferdinand. They changed their sound a bit, having more electronics in it. It’s still not difficult to dance on. They didn’t lose their Franz sound. Points for that. 

Albums that I didn’t like that much, but were pretty great anyway:
Soap&Skin – Lovetune for Vacuum
It’s too dark and obscure for me. It feels pretty creepy. But still, pretty good. (yeah, I don’t know much more to say about this one)

Zee Avi – Zee Avi
Too light and too bubbly for me. Pretty good debut album from this singer-songwriter. She mixes light, bubbly pop with a bit of jazz. Think Jack Johnson if he was a girl and used a ukulele more.

Portugal. The Man – The Satanic Satanist
Good album, but I think it’s too ‘heavy’ for me. Though, I do like the poppy ‘Work All Day’, ‘People Say’ and ‘The Sun’. Recommended for everyone who’s ears can handle more noise than mine.

Great Lake Swimmers – Lost Channels [review]
A more upbeat album from Tony Dekker and company. It does work out, but I like their slow, acoustic stuff more. Still a great album if you like them and do like songs such as ‘Your Rocky Spine’.

M. Ward – Hold Time
For all M. Ward lovers: Hold Time is a typical M. Ward album. His strongest point is his voice, and he uses is good. To me, M. Ward is a bit boring, there’s not much happening in his music. But that’s the only critic I can think of, so I guess it’s a nice album.

Alexi Murdoch – Time Without Consequence
The album kicks of great. I first thought that this would be a great album. But in the end, the songs are too long. Because of that, this album will sound repetive. Bad, it could have been much better.

 “Great page turner!” 2009-11-22
By Shelby Skye (the Pacific Northwest, United States)
This story kept me wondering and guessing right up to the end. I liked the suspense of the mysterious notes and events as well as the building excitement of Mom’s appearance on the $20,000 Pyramid. Plus, it made me want to read A Wrinkle in Time all over again!

 “Awesome!” 2009-11-20
By
I really loved this book and couldn’t put it down. It was a great read!

 “Filled With Wonder” 2009-11-03
By Stephanie (Carson, CA United States)
Wow! Reading this book has filled me with wonder! Oh, the possibilities that Rebecca Stead explores and the characters feel so real and flawed and loving and scared and vulnerable and…human.

You know when they say a good book makes you feel like you’ve found family in those pages. That’s how I feel. I’ve found family and as with any family, I found pieces of myself in every character.

While the plotting is very tight, I was pulled more by the characters and the eloquence of the writing. Rebecca Stead’s skill with words is light and heavy, playful and thoughtful, joyous and blue. Isn’t that life?

By the end, I bought every last detail coming together so nicely. That’s difficult to pull off because most of the time, such endings feel contrived…forced. Because there is such a roller coaster of emotions, the ending also feels like ecstasy. I say that because while things are tied neatly, one has to then grapple with the larger themes of this wonderful children’s novel, themes of loss, love, making mistakes, finding family, finding redemption, etc.

I could go on and on but I won’t because part of the joy in reading this book is allowing yourself to discover the mysteries of life.

I know I certainly did!

 “A Gem For Older Elementaries” 2009-10-30
By Portianay (KY, USA)
This one had me glued to the page so much I even read it during commercial breaks in the World Series–and I am an ardent Phillies fan! Naturally, anyone who loves Madeleine L’Engle will love this book. Like L’Engle’s works, though, I think we will find that this book’s appeal will be mainly for girls, though if a boy would try it, he would enjoy the whole time-travel theme. It seems like, if the protagonist is female, the readership will be, also. This is a shame, in the case of this book, because it is a fascinating story of L’Engle’s “tessering” neatly inserted into “reality.”

 “Strange and thought-provoking” 2009-10-22
By A. Knight (Somerville, MA)
This novel is strange and thought-provoking–but in a good way. It starts off quietly, and reads as an episodic kind of a story (which usually bores me to death) but as soon as the overall story begins to form, it becomes clear that everything in the previous “boring” chapters were actually clues to the greater puzzle in the story. Awesome.

Basically, the story is about a young girl who is obsessed with A Wrinkle in Time who begins finding cryptic messages in hidden places. The phrase “masterfully woven” is over-used in book reviews, but I think it actually fits really well for this story. Usually, I’m pretty good at figuring out what’s going to happen at the end of a story, but in this case I only half-way figured out the mystery before it was revealed. The half I didn’t figure out was quite the surprise. The end will leave you wanting to re-read the entire book to see if you can piece it together the second time around!

What life is this life
why has it dropped here

with out knowing when

My dog gives my foot a happy lick

or shame.

קבלת העבודה בירושלים נראית כאילו היא הולכת ומתרחקת. הכל קרה ושום דבר לא קרה. כל התהליך התחיל ביום שלישי בראיון העבודה המוצלח, המשיךאל ראיון העבודה המוצלח ביום חמישי, ואז אל שיחת הטלפון המסמכמת באותו יום, שקצת הוציאה לי את האוויר מהמפרשים.

ופתאום, אחרי שהרגשתי שהנה אני  עומד לקבל את העבודה, נראה לי שהיא איכשהו חמקה לי מבין האצבעות. אולי זו רק הרגשה או תחושת בטן, אבל התחושה היא חזקה. ויתכן, שכלום בעצם לא קרה והכל נשאר על המסלול הטוב כפי שהתחיל. ואולי אני פשוט מכין את עצמי לאכזבה שעלולה לבוא בגלל  אי קבלתי לעבודה שם, ויותר מזה – האכזבה שאצטרך להמשיך לחפש מקום עבודה אחר, בידיעה שכאלה תנאים וקידום יהיה קשה מאוד אם בכלל לקבל. וזאת בנוסף על האכזבה של להישאר  במקום  העבודה הנוכחי שבו אני לא מאוד מרוצה. לא שרע לי מאוד, אבל אני יודע שבעקבות הארועים  האחרונים  שם יהיה לי רע יותר.

אז ממה אני חושש למעשה במקום העבודה החדש.

1. שיחליטו לבחון מחדש את הצורך בקבלתי. מה שדורש הערכות פנים ארגונית ותפיסתית כלפי תפקיד כמו  שלי, שלמעשה לא היה קיים קודם בארגון. זה מצריך הכנה מראש, חשיבה וארגון. וזה בהחלט עלול לעכב את קבלתי לעבודה, אם  בכלל.

2. הרעיון של לפנות למקור חיצוני לשם קבלת חוות דעת. דעתי על אותו מקור חיצוני ברורה, אבל למען המטרה של קבלה לעבודה שם אני מוכן גם לתנאי זה, למרות שאני חושש מאוד מתוצאות חוות הדעת של אותו  גורם חיצוני. טוב לא יצא ממנו.

3. ברור לחלוטין, שפנייה אל אותו  גורם חיצוני (בהנחה שכן אקבל חוות דעת חיובית שם) רק תעכב את קבלתי לעבודה. וכאן מצטרף מימד הזמן. אני יודע שהיו שמחים אם הייתי מתחיל בינואר לעבוד. זה טוב למערכת, בעיקר לנוכח השינויים שהיא עוברת ממילא גם בלעדי. אני אשמח מאוד להתחיל את השנה החדשה במקום עבודה חדש, מהרבה סיבות. וכאן יצטרכו במקום העבודה החדש להחליט מה חשוב יותר. הפנייה אל אותו מקור חיצוני או תחילת עבודתי באופן מיידי. אחד מול השני.

4. כרגע, ברור שאין ביכולתי להשפיע על תהליך קבלת ההחלטות שם. אני נאלץ לחכות ליום ראשון או  שני, אז אדע את תוצאות הישיבה שבה תתקבל החלטה בעניני. החלטתי לא להעלות את דעתי על אותו מקור חיצוני לפני הישיבה. אבל, לאחר הישיבה אם תתקבל החלטה לפנות אל אותו מקור, אעלה מספר טענות שאולי יצליחו לשנות החלטה זו: מימד הזמן, השיקול של לפנות אל אותו מקור. אולי להכניס מימד אישי (לא שלי) לנושא.

5. ואולי, תתקבל החלטה לא לקבל אותי בכלל.

6. ואולי כן.

Waters Says He’ll Perform if Israel Tears Down Wall

Waters Says He’ll Perform if Israel Tears Down Wall

Pink Floyd’s former frontman Roger Waters said Tuesday he’ll take to the stage the minute Israel tears down its West Bank separation wall, just as he did in Berlin two decades ago when another wall came down.

Visiting a Palestinian refugee camp in the shadows of the towering concrete structure, the British rocker who co-wrote the iconic 1970s album “The Wall” said he hopes “this awful thing is destroyed soon.”

Waters, 65, said the West Bank wall has been on his mind since he first saw it up close in what he described as an eye-opening visit in 2006, following a concert in Israel.

“People who haven’t actually seen this, what’s going on here, can’t actually imagine the impression that it has on you, the sick, kind of churning feeling that you get in your very heart when you see this, how depressing it is,” Waters told The Associated Press in an interview.

Water’s comments didn’t sit very well with Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev, who, quoting The Wall’s most famous lyric, said “we don’t need no education” from Waters.

Israel began building the barrier — a concrete wall in urban areas and fence with sensors and barbed wire along rural stretches — in 2002 following Palestinian bombings and shooting attacks on Israeli civilians. Israel insists it’s a temporary security measure.

Palestinians says it’s a land grab because, once the final third is built, it will slice off 10 percent of the West Bank, part of the lands they want for their state.

The stretch of barrier between Jerusalem and the biblical West Bank town of Bethlehem consists of graffiti-covered gray slabs, with army watchtowers rising up at intervals. At an Israeli-run wall crossing, large crowds of Palestinians wait in long lines, particularly during morning rush hour, to reach jobs in Israel.

On the northern outskirts of Bethlehem, the Aida refugee camp, home to about 5,000 Palestinians, abuts the wall. Palestinian officials often escort foreign dignitaries to the camp — among them Pope Benedict XVI during his Holy Land pilgrimage last month — to illustrate the disruption of daily life by the barrier.

Waters dismissed Israel’s security argument, saying he believes the wall “is not here to stop Israelis being blown up on buses.” He said if that was the sole reason, “what’s it doing in the occupied territories, surrounding settlements and cutting (Palestinian) farmers off from their olive trees and so on and so forth?”

“This is an exercise of colonialism,” said Waters.

Regev said the barrier has sharply reduced Palestinian attacks, which have killed hundreds of Israelis since the outbreak of Israeli-Palestinian fighting in 2000.

“We don’t need no education about suicide bombers coming into Israel and murdering innocent people, and how the security barrier has prevented that by more than 95 percent.”

But Waters said he believes the barrier is indefensible.

“When you stand in front of an edifice like this, whether it’s here or outside a township in South Africa, or in the Warsaw Ghetto during the Second World War, or in Berlin in the 60s and 70s, it’s something you know instinctively that this is wrong. It’s a bad thing,” he said. “It cannot survive forever.”

If it does come down one day, he said, he’ll perform at the site, just like he did in 1990, at a spot where the Berlin Wall had fallen just a year earlier. “In fact, I would insist on it,” he said.

In the meantime, he’s considering performing elsewhere in the West Bank, perhaps in the town of Ramallah, but has not made firm plans. On Monday, Waters visited a refugee camp in the northern town of Jenin to support efforts to reopen a local movie house that closed in 1987.

When he played in Israel in 2006, he was criticized by Palestinian activists trying to organize a cultural boycott of Israel. Waters said he now feels ambivalent about having performed in Israel.

Waters, who left Pink Floyd in 1985, ruled out a reunion with his former band mates; their last joint performance was in 2005, for a Live 8 concert. “We had a great career as Pink Floyd. We all enjoyed it. We all worked together and enjoyed everything and it was brilliant. I think it’s over,” he said.

UC regents approve partnership with L.A. County to reopen King medical facility — latimes.com

Posted using ShareThis

The U.C. system approval and partnership with LA County is questionable. The same U.C. system that is increasing tuition on all it’s campus through out California by a total of 40 percent in the past year is going to fund the reopening of Martin Luther King General Hospital in the Watts and Compton regional area. This positive news comes at a unique cost to the ethic minority community in the South Los Angeles region. Although the reopening of MLK Hospital would aid the community, “whose population suffers disproportionately from chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease — has one hospital bed per 1,000 residents, compared with a national average of three beds per 1,000 residents.”

The U.C. systems tuition increase would lead to less collegiate opportunities for minority students. Thus producing a disproportionate number of minority students in the U.C. system that already has problems with diversifying the student population. When reopening MLK it is conducive that the U.C. regents also put into place, programs that will once again allow MLK to be a well established learning institute that supports the surrounding community.

The recent appearance of John Darwin, the canoeist who was presumed dead after the Coast Guard found no trace of him at sea five years ago has led to numerous questions about his fate at the time, and a very interesting area for insurance Life in the UK, what happens if you pay someone to ask about death?

There is no indication in this case, whether Mrs Darwin was the beneficiary of a payment of life insurance andThe question is purely rhetorical. However, before you know if any refund is necessary, we must see how a person is declared dead, that payment is made in the first place.

A spokesman for the Association of British Insurers has confirmed that a missing person could be declared dead for seven years after the disappearance. But where there are "compelling evidence" suspected death, family members can go missing in the courtperson declared dead. In addition, life insurance companies may choose to pay before the law for seven years if they wish, even in cases where a body was recovered and no further.

Although there is no uniform agreement on what constitutes "compelling evidence" Most insurers agree that one of the following apply in cases where payments of life insurance, without a body is resolvedconsidered:

– If the probable age of survival of man was taken by the insured

– If the valuations are in danger of policyholders have been high

– If the insured is terminally ill or suffering from impaired health at the time of the disappearance

– If the actions of the insured lost altogether inconsistent with their behavior

So, to return to the main question: what happens if the beneficiary has received a payment under a lifeinsurance policy to a missing person, then return to life? Well, the answer is not so simple. A spokesman for the Association of British Insurers, which fell at the discretion of individual life insurance company on whether to continue receiving the request for recovery of any payments in cases where the insured is then alive. Only in cases of crime, clear, or when fraud is suspected or confirmed, is attempting to recoversum insured, but in other cases, the money could be excluded as an insured loss.

EXCLUSIVE Hubby Ray on the agony and ecstasy of seeing her skate COLEEN SAYS DAILY Mirror BEST FOR WEEKEND TV

Even bluff Yorkshiremen are not immune to shedding the odd tear – just ask Coleen Nolan’s husband. He’s been welling up every week just watching her glide around on Dancing on Ice.

Ray Fensome has felt so proud of what Loose Women star and Mirror columnist Coleen has achieved on the hit ITV1 skating contest that it has been hard keeping his emotions in check.

“The cameras keep catching me with tears in my eyes,” confesses 50-year-old Ray. “But the feeling I get when I see Coleen take to the ice is incredible. I feel so proud of her.

“I am an emotional man and I cry, I am not ashamed to admit it. I have never been so proud in my life. It is overwhelming.”

The Leeds United supporter has been getting stick from friends and family for wearing his heart on his sleeve. But is he bothered? Not a bit of it.

“My mates were ribbing me for having tears in my eyes,” says Ray. “The kids take the mickey out of me for getting so emotional as well. Jake and Shane, my stepsons, rib me all the time. They say, ‘Oh Ray’s going to cry again’.

“But when they announce her name and she comes on the ice it just overwhelms me.

“I get a lot of stick but I have always been an emotional person – I cry at films. And since we’ve had Ciara I’ve become even more emotional.”

Ray has been yelling himself hoarse for his wife every Sunday night. And, along with their seven-year-old daughter Ciara, he can claim to be her most loyal fan. But the devoted hubby fears there is only one clear winner of the show. And it’s not his missus but his namesake – Ray Quinn.

“I want Coleen to win,” insists music promoter Ray. “But everyone’s saying Ray Quinn’s the best skater to ever be on this show at the moment. So I guess I’d feel bad for him if he didn’t win – but I want Coleen to take the trophy.

“I would love her to win, to improve that much that she could beat Ray would be amazing.

“That is going to take some doing but Coleen is going for it with everything she’s got.

“Ray is unbelievable. The professionals are looking at him and learning off him, he has got that much style.

“It would be a shame if this was a one-horse race from day one but with a public vote anything can happen. Look at last year with Chris Fountain. He had practically won it before it started but Suzanne Shaw pinched it off him at the final.”

Ray’s biggest fear is that Coleen might end up on the Dancing on Ice injury list – another celeb with bruised ribs, needing hospital treatment.

He remembers how scary it was when the family went skating in Blackpool a few years ago.

“It is so dangerous,” says Ray, a session guitarist who has toured the world. “I ripped all the ligaments in my arm when a kid cut across me and I went flying. My arm was out of operation for six months.

“Coleen was the same as everyone then – cling on to the side and try to get round, like Bambi on ice. So to see her come so far has been amazing.

“I have seen her fall – your heart is in your mouth when it happens. But I haven’t seen her take a really bad one yet.”

Ray is not worried about his wife getting cosy with her skating partner Stuart Widdall. He knows she only has eyes for, er, Olympic champion Christopher Dean.

“I have no worries with Stuart,” he laughs. “She’s in love with Christopher Dean, so I can’t do owt about that.

“If she runs off with him I can’t blame her. He is a legend.

“She said on last week’s show she had a crush on him… I have a bit of a crush on him myself!”

Ray is just loving the show although I have to admit he’s now turned into Jason Gardiner.

It’s so bad it’s like I’m actually living with Jason.

He tells me everything I do wrong.

He says things like “no you’re great, you’ve just got to bend those legs, get more speed and sometimes you look really scared”.

So I’m like, “Ray, I AM scared. I can’t bend my knees because my knees are knackered and I can’t get more speed because I might fall and I don’t want to.”

I had a crafty idea what to do to even things up a bit and stop all his criticisms. I decided to take Ray and our seven-year-old daughter Ciara skating today.

The last time Ray went was years ago and he could just about stay up on his feet.

So I said to him “OK Mr Know-It-All.

Now do a backward crossover.” He couldn’t even imagine it.

It’s great because he said “God, it’s only when you get on the ice you realise how difficult it is.”

The thing is, the pros and Ray make it look easy – Ray Quinn that is, not my Ray.

Anyway usually my Ray is pretty helpful around the house but he’s really helping now.

He cleans the house, looks after Ciara, even answers my fan-mail and brings me photos to sign.

I mean, obviously I come home and think “well you don’t quite do it like a woman but at least you try”.

Then when I get home he cooks me food and he’s great… apart from when he criticises me. Then I just want to kill him. But I’ve been amazed how emotional he’s been watching me dance – even shedding a few tears as he gets into it.

Maybe all the household chores have made him get in touch with his sensitive side.

And oh my God, have I made him cry. I think he gets frustrated with me because I am a different person to how I am on a Sunday.

The nerves just kill me in the lead-up to the show and Ray knows I’m not usually like that.

The thing is, I thought I’d be out in the first week. I’ve even had people tell me that women in their 40s don’t win these programmes. But here I am in week seven – thank the Lord for the public – but I still get so nervous.

My poor old legs are literally knocking together they’re shaking so much.

Also Ray’s not getting a lot of sleep which can’t help.

Apparently I’ve been screaming and crying in my sleep since Dancing on Ice started. I don’t know I am, but even the kids have said, “Mum will you stop screaming in your sleep?”

And even though he’s so sympathetic there are limits to what I can ask Ray to do to ease my many aches and pains.

He doesn’t give me any back massages or foot rubs though. I think that’d be too much. He’d probably divorce me if I asked him to!

ภาพยนตร์ระทึกขวัญที่รีเมคมาจากภาพยนตร์ชื่อเดียวกันในปี 1979 เกี่ยวกับการเผชิญหน้าฆาตรกรโรคจิตที่เลือกฆ่าแต่พี่เลี้ยงเด็ก
Jill Johnson (Camilla Belle) นักเรียน ม. ปลายที่ทำงานพิเศษโดยการรับจ้างเป็นพี่เลี้ยงเด็กในบ้านอันหรูหราครอบครัวของมหาเศรษฐี ทั้งทำงานและเพลินไปกับของราคาแพงในบ้าน จู่ๆเธอก็ได้รับโทรศัพท์นิรนามที่โทรมารบกวนเธออยู่บ่อยครั้งจนถึงหนักขั้นข่มขู่จะเอาชีวิต และที่น่าตกใจกว่านั้นคือเมื่อเธอขอความช่วยเหลือจากตำรวจให้ตามรอยสายโทรศัพท์ลึกลับนี้แล้วกลับกลายเป็นว่าสายนี้โทรมาจากภายในบ้าน!
ผู้รับผิดชอบดนตรีประกอบ คือ James Dooley คอมโพเซอร์เครือเดียวกับ Hans Zimmer ซึ่งเรื่องนี้เป็นอีกเรื่องที่เขาได้แยกออกมารับผิดชอบงานเพลงเองทั้งหมด
ด้วยความที่เป็นหนังระทึกขวัญฟอร์มเล็กที่เล่นกับสิ่งแวดล้อมรอบๆตัว Dooley จึงเลือกสร้างดนตรีเบาหวิวสไตล์ Ambient ที่มีดีกรีความหลอนและความอึดอัดพอสมควร เครื่องดนตรีที่ใช้หลักๆจึงมีเพียงเปียโนกับโน้ตไม่กี่ตัวและเครื่องสายไม่กี่ชิ้นซึ่งถูกนำมาผสมกับเสียงสังเคราะห์จากซินธิไซเซอร์ได้อย่างยอดเยี่ยม
จุดเด่นทางดนตรีของอัลบั้มถูกนำเสนอทันทีในเพลงแรก The Carnival ที่เต็มไปด้วยบรรยากาศชวนผวาและอึดอัดใช่เล่น โดยเพลงนี้ยังมีเสียงเปียโนเหงาๆแต่ไพเราะซึ่งเป็นธีมหลักของอัลบั้มมาให้ฟังกันในครึ่งหลังควบคู่ไปกับดนตรีที่ยังคงกดดันผู้ฟังไม่สิ้นสุด
Fateful Drive และ The House สองเพลงนี้ความหลอนอยู่ที่เสียงเครื่องสายโดยเฉพาะเชลโล่ โดยเพลงแรกใช้ประกอบฉากเดินทางไปยังบ้านเศรษฐีที่ซึ่งตัวเอกเราไม่มีทางรู้ว่าเธอกำลังจะได้พบเจอประสบการณ์อันน่าสะพรึง ส่วนเพลงหลังก็ยอดเยี่ยมไม่แพ้กัน ทั้งนี้ยังมีเสียงเปียโนจากธีมหลักที่ถูกหยิบมาให้ฟังเป็นระยะๆได้อย่างลงตัว โดยเพลงนี้ฟังแล้วรู้สึกได้เลยว่าคุณคนเดียวกำลังอยู่ในบ้านที่ดูหรูหราใหญ่โตซึ่งคุณไม่เคยคิดเคยฝันมาก่อน
หลอนแบบเต็มตัวกันใน Exploring มาพร้อมดนตรีที่ล่องลอยแบบเรื่อยๆที่ค่อยเพิ่มดีกรีความกดดันควบคู่ไปกับเสียงทุ้มกระตุกเบาๆและเครื่องเคาะต่างๆนานาเป็นระยะเหมือนมีบางสิ่งไหวติงอยู่ตลอด อ้อ! ฟังเพลงนี้แล้วระวังเซอร์ไพร์ช่วงกลางๆเพลงกันด้วยนะครับ
Have You Checked The Children? และ Tiffany ยังคงเป็นเพลงที่มาบรรยากาศหลอนๆ ซึ่งถ้าฟังมาถึงจุดนี้คงเริ่มคุ้นเคยกัน(บ้าง)แล้ว แต่ทั้งคู่มีจุดเด่นตรงการเล่นเครื่องสายจังหวะเร็วในบางช่วงส่งผลให้ตัวเพลงมีความหลอนในมิติที่ต่างออกไป
Knock, Knock, Who’s There? ดนตรีลึกลับที่มาพร้อมเสียงทุ้มกระตุกและเสียงสังเคราะห์บาดหู Curtain Call เพลงอารมณ์แปลกที่เริ่มด้วยดนตรีลึกลับชวนขนลุก ดนตรีเหงาๆแต่ฟังสบาย และดนตรีลุ้นระทึกชวนผวาตามลำดับ
60 Seconds เพลงหลอนเบาๆให้ฟังคั่นไปพลางก่อนที่จะเข้าสู่(หลาย)นาทีระทึกใน Inside The House, Stranger, Hunting Jill และ Gotcha! ซึ่งแน่นอนว่าสี่เพลงนี้คือความมันส์ปนสยอง(และสะดุ้ง)ที่ใส่มาแบบไม่ยั้งที่ฟังแล้วอดลุ้นและหวาดเสียวตามไม่ได้กันเลยทีเดียว ทั้งนี้ในแต่ละเพลงยังเป็นการโชว์ศักยภาพของวงออเคสตร้าที่เพิ่งมามีบทสำคัญเอาตอนนี้ได้อย่างถึงใจ
มันส์ระทึกแล้วมาหลอนกันต่ออีกทีกับ The Hospital ที่ฟังไปฟังมาก็ขอเตือนให้ระวังเซอร์ไพรซ์กันอีกรอบด้วยล่ะครับ
แล้วมาปิดอัลบั้มด้วยดีกรีที่ผ่อนคลายลง Aftermath ซึ่งเป็นการนำธีมหลักมาขยายเพื่อเล่นควบคู่กับพวกเครื่องสาย ส่งผลให้ได้เพลงปิดที่มีความเป็นดราม่ามากกว่าความหลอน สื่อถึงสภาวะทางกายและทางจิตของตัวเอกในตอนจบได้อย่างดี
ถ้าคุณอยู่ในสถานะเดียวกับตัวเอกของเรื่อง คือ กำลังอยู่ในบ้านคนเดียว แล้วคิดจะฟังอัลบั้มนี้ก็ขอให้เตรียมใจและเตรียมหูไว้ให้ดี เพราะนี่คือความหลอนที่หลอนยิ่งกว่าตัวหนังซึ่งเตรียมไว้ให้สำหรับคนที่ชอบฟังเพลงอยู่คนเดียวโดยเฉพาะ
