![]() Most viewers conclude that Annie did not notice the missing Novril after Paul's first outing, so she did not think he had laced her wine, concluding that the spill was most likely an accident caused by Annie's quick reaction after she knocked over the burning candle. It wasn't until he got out the second time, looked at her scrapbook, and took the butcher knife that she realized he was plotting against her, so she searched his room and found the knife as well as the hairpin "key". During the dinner, in fact, she seemed to be genuinely under the impression that she was actually making headway with him. It reveals only that, at the time of the dinner, Annie knew Paul had been out of his locked bedroom because the ceramic penguin had been moved, but she doesn't yet know how he got out. ![]() ![]() ![]() The movie does not provide conclusive evidence in either direction. Viewers are torn on an answer to this question, some saying that she knew and that's why she knocked over the glass of wine, others saying she didn't know and the wine spill was an accident. ![]()

![]() The love of Gia’s life comes back into her life like a storm, blowing Gia off course, even as he screws her over in every way you can imagine. I guess I shouldn’t complain since the ending does have its own slight twist. I know, I’m being a weaselly hypocrite, except that Day was doing so very well in creating a strong yet honest woman. It’s an interesting and exciting read, and while I love the HEA ending, it also pushes it back into that particular trope. She won’t accept bullshit nor will she suffer fools or bitches. “Well, now you can have your life and me - when I’m in the mood.” She wants someone who will love her, support her. He’s so honest that you begin to see through his self-hatred. And, lol, I like that Jax is so desperate for her that he’s honest. ![]() I still like that Gia is working so hard to keep Jax in the only-sleep-with column.

Selfish gene theory, or the gene’s-eye view of evolution, however, offers a radically different picture of evolution by natural selection. It is individuals that vary in phenotype, individuals that struggle to survive environmental pressures and compete over access to mates, and individuals that vary in fitness according to phenotype.

However, while not giving it much credit initially, Crocker mentions the lack of real alternatives to non-alignment available to a person in Nehru's place, and counts it as one of his contributions to world peace.Ĭrocker also criticizes Nehru for being "too hasty" in his pursuit of decolonisation and independence. Non-alignment is perhaps treated unfairly by Crocker, who at times reads it as myopic. In our day and age, when Nehru's name invites only disparagement and criticism, this sympathy is perhaps a desirable reminder to look at history with not only a critical eye, but also with sympathy and understanding. ![]() ![]() In its judiciousness, however, it does not forget to treat Nehru with compassion. Crocker's Nehru is a judicious and measured account of the first prime minister of independent India. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Marks/Scars/Tattoos: tattoo on l_forearm (city,clown face,ride of die) tattoo on r_forearm (duke, sleeved, checker board) tattoo on chest (pride, 66 16) tattoo on abdomen (hopeless, glorilla w/dogs) tattoo on abdomen (loyalty and respect in chinese writing) tattoo on back (dailah w/gorilla, little girl ripping herself open) tattoo on back (crypt keeper,spray can) tattoo on l_arm (crypt keeper, true, womans face) tattoo on r_arm (rot in piss, dice, irene, g) tattoo on l_thigh (ouger) tattoo on r_thigh (japanese kangi characters) tattoo on r_calf (illusion,ougers face w/ wolfs head) tattoo on r_calf (3) tattoo on l_calf (4) tattoo on upper_r_arm (g, irene) tattoo on r_forearm (praying hands, cross) tattoo on upper_l_arm (c, tru) tattoo on face (hebrew character for the name of god) tattoo on l_leg (cross and serpant with "jeramaiah 33:3") ![]() ![]() Not that the last time was entirely his fault.
