September 14th, 2011
Lance Marshall Tait, 3, of Vicksburg died Saturday, Sept. 10, 2011 at University Medical Center.
Funeral services are today at 11 a.m. at the Stricklin-King Funeral Home Chapel with Rev. David Bryant and Rev. Ray Woods officiating. Burial will follow at Glenwood Cemetery.
Lance was born July 7, 2008 in Jackson to Shon and Kayla Lowery Tait.
Survivors include his paretns, Shon and Kayla Tait of Vicksburg; brother, Keegan Tait; sister, Gracie Tait; paternal grandmother, Connie Tait of Vicksburg; paternal grandfather, Richard Tait of Satartia; maternal grandparents, Lance and Annette Lowery of Holly Bluff; maternat great-grandmother, Irene Sanders of Belzoni and paternal great-grandparents Joyce and Albert Tait of Satartia.
Serving as pallbearers are Allen Geay, Michael Lowery, Bilbo Lowery and Rodney Kirkland.
On September 9, 2011, Lyle Thomas (Tom) Love went to be with our Lord.
Tom was born in Danville, West Virginia, and grew up in Atoka, Oklahoma. A memorial service will be held at First Presbyterian Church, Yazoo City on September 14, 2011 at 11 a.m. Pastor Sam Smith and Reverend George Woodliff will be officiating.
Tom attended Oklahoma Baptist University on a music scholarship and studied under Dean Warren Angell. He was a member of the Bison Glee Club and the Young Republicans. His class also elected him Freshman Senator. He served as Minister of Music/Youth Director in Baptist churches in Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. He was the worship leader from 1972- 1978 at Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, where John Osteen served as pastor.
Subsequent years found him on the mission field in Mexico, the Philippines, Italy, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Spain, New Guinea and Japan preaching and teaching, and helping establish churches. He pastored Water of Life Church , Mercedes, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley from 1978 to 1982. His home was a haven for missionaries going into Mexico and coming out of Mexico. There was usually an RV parked at his home located in McAllen, Texas.
Later years found him at Mississippi State University in a Master's Degree Program with hopes to join the staff in his department. He taught a campus-wide art elective in the College of Education for eleven years and retired in 2008. He always loved the first day of class getting to know the students. He would ask each one where they were from, why they were at MSU (surprising answers sometimes), what they were studying, and what made them a nice person (this was a hard question for some). Then he would ask them to look around the pottery studio and focus on an object. Randomly he would ask them what they saw. Then he would say, " What I am fixing to tell you will be the most important thing I will say this semester: That object was at one time only an idea in someone's mind" He wanted them to realize they would need to "see something in their mind" and then go through the process for it to become reality. Another concept he encouraged was "just relax into it and enjoy the process." One student took the advice to heart and came back the next week to say she was applying this to all her classes. That was the joy in teaching to know that he had made a difference in someone's life.
His favorite Starkville restaurant was Harvey's and he always "interviewed" the waiters and waitresses (most of them students at MSU) and encouraged them to make an "everything I ever wanted to be, do or have" list. He wanted them to focus on what they really wanted in life. One of the waitresses came to our table before we left Starkville and told him that he didn't know the impact he had had on the wait staff at Harvey's. Another joy - making a difference in someone's life.
His favorite passage comes from Psalms 46:10: "Be still and know that I am God." He shared "I am forgiven, I forgive, and I forgive myself" with many who were troubled or had relationship issues. The real memorial is what Tom left of himself in our hearts.
Tom is preceded in death by his parents, Donald and Elsie Love, two sons, Joseph Paul who died on the mission field in Mexico at 3 months and Mark Thomas who went to be with the Lord in 1985. Survivors are his wife Carol Shannon Love, sons Brad and Scot and daughters, Laura, Paula and Chariti. Adored grandchildren Jenna of Kansas City, MO (Brad); Jessie, Levi, Lily, and Grace, and Phoenix of Tulsa, OK (Laura); Kayla and Colton of Bigfork, MT (Paula); Josiah, Sarah, and Hannah of Ashville, NC (Scot and Kari). He also leaves one half-brother Donnie (Terri) of Las Vegas, NV; two half-sisters: Edwinna Steele of New Albin, IO and Peggy Liljegren of Racine, WI.
Memorials may be made to First Presbyterian Church or Trinity Episcopal Church in Yazoo City.

The 12 and 24 month bars are rules on whether or not a J-1 scholar is eligible for a second visit to the U.S. in the J-1 Professor or Research Scholar category.
A two-year (24-month) bar on repeat participation in the J-1 Professor or Research Scholar categories was instituted by the U. S. Dept. of State (DOS) for exchange visitors upon completion of their J-1 programs. This means that all J-1 Professors or Research Scholars (not those in the Short-term Scholar category) will be barred from participation in the same category for two years from the end date of their programs. For example, a professor whose J-1 program is from September 1, 2008 - May 31, 2009, will not be able to return to the US as a J-1 Professor (or Research Scholar) until May 31, 2011. (Note: this is a different rule from the two-year home residency requirement.)
In addition to the 24-month bar on repeat participation, J-1 regulations prohibit participation of any exchange visitor coming for a new program in the category of Professor or Research Scholar, as indicated in #4 of the enclosed DS-2019 form, who has been physically present in the U.S. in ANY J status during any portion of the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of program commencement set forth on her/his new form DS-2019 with the following exceptions: 1) the new program is a transfer from another program, 2) presence in the U.S. in the previous program was for less than six months, and 3) presence in the U.S. in the previous program was under the category of short-term scholar.
The charts on the right shows how long you must wait before you are eligible to begin a new J-1 Research Scholar or Professor based on your previous J-1 status.

They get famous. They get together. They change their minds.
Celebrity relationships are designed to last forever. After all, what could be more stable, healthy and everlasting than two people thrust into the spotlight, their every move dissected by the tabloids? And if celebrities can't make it work, what chance do the rest of us have?

"NEW" Edward & Bella "In The Meadow" Still
117 comments:

Isn't this the scene where Edward realizes she's going through with the marriage just to please him (and that she does so much to please others) and he tells her forget it, the wedding is off. He'll still turn her and he'll give her what she wants RIGHT NOW; sex and then he attempts to 'go for it'?
Yeah. I think this is that moment. And a good one it was. But then of course she was the one to put the skids on 'cause we can't have Meyer's Romeo and Juliet doing the 'naughty' before they're wed, now can we?
I thought that was rather unrealistic. She's been wanting him for damn near a year and a half, he finally says okay and she say no.
Okay. If you say so Stephenie. LOL! - June 22, 2010 at 2:51 PM
- Leeanne said...
LOL, I agree with you on the last part - but these stills and clips are killing me - I only have 6 more days to go and it's torture!!!
- June 22, 2010 at 2:57 PM
- vafla89 said...
I think this is the opening scene where Edward is all playful and he keeps asking her to marry him.. I think there is a still of the scene you're talking about; Bella wears a yellow blouse, she hugs Edward and we can see the ring on her finger! - June 22, 2010 at 2:58 PM
- HeartRob said...
Oh Hello ,Rob so close!
The new banner rocks. Thank you.
The two in the meadow. Gah this is so beautiful! And Bella can resist him. Where he at last gives up . Inconceivable! LOL - June 22, 2010 at 3:07 PM

YIPPPEEEEEEEE - I realize this is the wrong thread but............the UPS guy just delivered a package on my doorstep ..............my very own DVD of REMEMBER ME!!!!!!!
I'm so excited and just had to tell someone!!! None of my friends "get it"!
SO can't wait to watch it. - June 22, 2010 at 3:14 PM

I luv the colours in this scene and both of them look gorgeous..... - June 22, 2010 at 3:26 PM

The new banner is totally gorgeous! Amazing the amount of times I say OMFG in French when I visit this place... LOL...

- nikola6 said...
You may be right as she does have her ring on in that photo you linked to and the moment I'm talking about does come at the end of the book...when she finally let him ring her.
The reason I thought it might be this one is because there have been other stills of this scene (in these same clothes) where he is open mouth kissing her (more so than in any other kiss I've seen between them thus far) and then some others where he is flat on his back and she's straddling him. It looked kinda hot to me and I thought...'he's going for it. he's going for it'. LOL!
I dunno. It's just that stills we've seen from this scene look more suggestive than the stills we've seen from the pic you linked too.
Huh? What did I just say? Ah...who knows. You don't even know.
True. LOL! - June 22, 2010 at 3:37 PM
- femroc said...
Just found out from the Remember Me DVD that Rob was supposed to be out on the stoop of the apartment in his boxers........woohoo.........but he said "I don't think that's going to work"
The cast commentary includes Rob, Emilie, Ruby and one of the producers.
There are two commentaries - one with Alan Coulter the director and the other with the cast. Interesting.
The Making of Remember Me is 15 minutes of really nice coverage of how they all approached the characters of the movie and how much Rob put into it and how they dealt with the 9/11 part of it.
Rob looks GREAT in this section and so sweet and pensive about it all. He's soft spoken and serious most of the time and very introspective.
They haven't mentioned the horrifying fandom that crashed down on them but they did show one picture of it.....so far.
I haven't seen everything on the DVD yet.
Hope everyone can get a copy. - June 22, 2010 at 3:46 PM

- vafla89 said...
I know and I agree! It's just that at other stills of this scene we can see Bella's schoolbag and according to the script she's supposed to study while Edward tries to 'distract' her!
Well, there is the meadow, there is Edward on his back and there are E/B kisses.. actually many new, open-mouth kisses! So who cares about the scene? The more the merrier!! - June 22, 2010 at 3:52 PM

I have been laughing all last night & this morning with these Robstock reports. I'm goofy, so forgive this silly from me.... What might happen.....
*****Breaking News****
There was a near riot at the Sam Bradley concert venue this evening when a group of rowdy unruly women arrived demanding admittance. For the past two weeks ticket masters had been voicing concern over the number of tickets requested by one or two individuals and then later these same tickets were changed to another name. This highly suspicious activity caused more than a little concern for the security staff at the venue. It is common knowledge that movie personality Robert Pattinson was expected to attend the concert performed by his friend and fears began arising over the number of tickets to this one mysterious group identified only as MB or NB or Robstock II.
The concerns escalated this evening when a rowdy group arrived and stormed the venue. When Pattinson's personal bodyguard was spotted at the rear door he was rushed by the group and tackled, tied up and dragged out to a waiting elephant. Pattinson tried to hide in the back room but was spotted by the group. It was thought that his LB baseball cap was insufficient to disguise him. He was also tackled and dragged out the back door, tied up and tossed up on the elephant.
Approximately a dozen women were involved in the kidnapping. Pattinson, the elephant and Dean his security guard were not found for 15 hours. Pattinson seemed to be in a complete blissful daze when he turned up at In & Out Burgers late the next morning. He was unable to identify the women or remember exactly what happened. "It certainly was an experience," he was heard to say. Dean nodded in agreement. Impossible as it seems paparazzi were unable to get any pictures. Pattinson looked like he had spent a wild night. Much laughter and calls of more Robkowski were heard near the In & Out just before Pattinson was discovered. "Am I hung over?" he asked Dean. A very red faced Dean is not commenting on the rumor that he acquired a small monkey tattoo as a result of the encounter. - June 22, 2010 at 3:57 PM

It would be very difficult to refuse this man anything.
- June 22, 2010 at 3:58 PM
- nikola6 said...
Oh my god! Can you imagine if Rob came out in his boxers to film that scene? The production company would have had to call for the perimedics to cart away all the women who'd passed out.
Hey. That's what they should have done. Just parade him around in his undies for a few minutes, knock the women into a coma and wa la...no more fans.
Hmmm...papps would have been another issue though. They would have had a field day and Rob would have been plastered all over god's green earth in his underwear.
Sorry babe. No matter which way you turn...YOU ARE SCREWED!
But on a serious note...
You see how fan and papp intrusion interferred with the storytelling?
Even just a small moment like this, Tyler distraught enough to disregard putting his pants on. Such a moment would have played to the what the character was going through in that moment, but Rob couldn't do it because of the unwanted prying eyes.
And too...
That he had to return to NY for a week after filming was complete (taking away from his down time before heading back to Vancouver to begin Eclipse) in order to loop, not just a few lines of dialouge, but entire scenes that were ruined by the intrusion. - June 22, 2010 at 3:59 PM

Oh shit Laurie...
You're killing me. Keep it up. We need to print out this entire wacked out scenario staring with my "ANIMAL CONTROL" insanity and your first update going back to that runnaway elephant headed down the freeway.
And if anyone's got the guts...
To one day hand it to Rob and say...
This is what we originally had planned during the summer of 2010 while you were shooting WFE coupled with the premiere of Eclipse. But we couldn't find a van for the damn elephant. - June 22, 2010 at 4:07 PM

Geez!! Kate, Kat and Goz, I bring up the page and hit with the new banner. After a few minutes, when I am conscious again, I manage to crawl back into my chair.
Wow!! Love it, ladies, but I don't know how much my heart can take. . .
Sorry, passed out again at the meadow pix.
@Laurie - that was great! ROFLMAO!
I posted this on another thread:
I saw breaking news banner on the tv yesterday regarding a car chase and I thought oh, no, what did the NBs do? But when it was clear there was no elephant or monkey involved, I knew it wasn't them. LOL
@femroc - I downloaded my Remember Me last night. I only got to hear the beginning commentary because darn it, I had to go to work. Darn RL, it is messing with my Robsession time! I am tempted to go under my desk and watch it on my iPod. Do you think anyone will notice? lol - June 22, 2010 at 4:16 PM
- ADM said...
From RPG: @ADM_01 LOL, we probably sound so silly, but it's all in fun! just give us Rob!!! Wens says HELLO!!!!

Will anyone notice? Well. I suppose that all depends on what it is you do for a living? If you're the CEO of your company, you could drag Rob himself under your desk, with clothes being tossed into the air and who would say 'boo'? Well. They'd say a lot more than boo. They just wouldn't say it to your face. Actually...
They'd probably be outside your door pounding on it screaming...'let us in you LUCKY bitch'.
However...if you're manning the triage desk in an emergency room, if you were to suddenly dip under your desk with the requisite moaning that would ensue (while watching The Pretty), THAT would probably get some notice. And possibly get you admitted for some kind of treatment. Probably the psych ward or some such...unless you can control the drooling.
So...just a few scenarios I came up with. And that's because I was up at 4 am this morning, got all my poop in a pile and now I've got nothing to do all day. Well...I suppose I could find something to occupy my time. Oh. I have. I'm playing on ROBsessed making a complete ass of my self.
It's my second job actually. Well. In this economy, it does take two jobs to make ends meet. Duh! - June 22, 2010 at 4:30 PM

femroc- just saw your comment, no i wasn't able to "camp out" got my wristband yesterday but going back on thursday to see if i could get back in line. i made friends with some really nice girls and they said they would keep a place for me. i dont understand the whole thing since you get a wristband and you are lining up numerically on thursday. right now it's just a real big camp out and a square area, no line up or order. the security said they wanted it a camp out after for "promotional reasons". but i am going to sam bradley tonight.
Nik - are you going tonight??? I hope i get to meet some robsessors tonight.
OT - i actually just got back from seeing Toy Story 3 in IMAX. my son loved it, we dont have IMAX where we live so this was something new for him. he just didnt get the whole playing with "girls" thing, he said that he would never share his toys with a girl LOL. i told him tell me this in 10 years :) - June 22, 2010 at 4:37 PM
- Laurie said...
You know Rob might find it funny if we sent the entire thing bundled up. And if it would provoke a (favorable hopefully) response from him I could probably stomach the embarrassment if you could. Something to think about.
@evangeline--Dean is pretty large so I thought it might take 12 women to take him down. Glad you found it funny. - June 22, 2010 at 4:46 PM
- jessemtl said...
@Laurie - Your story was amazing. Don't normally get involved in the commentary here but just had to say that someone should print a copy of all these scenarios and give it to Rob. I bet he would crack up. Love the updates from LA. Living vicariously through you guys. The rest of us have to stay in RL! - Very sad.

@Ana73: How old is your son? If he's 6 that's ok. If he's 16 now and going with his mom to Toy Story 3, then he may be right! You're Mom, so you don't count as a girl :-)
@Laurie: Girl, you got talent! I agree with Nik. Keep a hold of them and post them in one piece at the end of RobstockII, as a souvenir for us all. - June 22, 2010 at 4:51 PM

See Laurie see. Someone else thinks we should print this whole thing up and one day give it to Rob. Just to let him see that were not all nuts. Well. Okay. Were nuts. But were fun nuts. Yanno? How could he not laugh? It's hysterical.
Now then...
Just how does one go about finding where this whole thing started? And did it start with me and RPG headed up to that set under the guise of 'Animal Control'? I believe it did.
What we need around here is a secretary. Someone to keep track of the minutes. Yanno? - June 22, 2010 at 4:52 PM

Laurie that was hilarious, That whole scenerio just played out in my head.
Just bought my remeber me DVd and I only paid $11 us dollars for it using the eight dollar off coupon.
And Just bought my Eclipse shirt from Hot Topic, I Know my Hubby is going to roll his eyes and say why do you need another shirt with Rob's face on it, like I give a shit what he thinks about it.
Robstock ladies thanks for the updates, wish I was there with you guys, my mom talked me into coming with her to her home in St. George Utah for a few days which is about six hours from LA, I told her to keep driving to LA so I could come and see Rob but she she was not going for it - June 22, 2010 at 4:53 PM

I know Loisada...
I've thought about that too, taking them supplies or something. But I'm with my aunt today and she's elderly and I just don't think I could bring her with me to something like this. She's pretty spry for 83, but I don't think she's that spry. Shit. I don't think I'm that spry. LOL! - June 22, 2010 at 4:55 PM

- nikola6 said...
cityofglass (great name btw)...
That's EXACTLY what they're doing.
Summit is the new master of marketing in Hollywood. Other studios are looking at them and how they're doing it. There's even talk about sending big stars out on promotional signing tours (although big stars are balking at that idea. Could you just see Harrison Ford or George Clooney in a mall signing autographs, doing Q&A's or even agreeing to such events like a Twilight convention?).
Summit took that first book that every studio in town turned down and turned it into a world wide phenomenon and put themselves on the Hollywood map in the process. They're in the business to make coin and they know what they're doing. And they've got a fanbase that's going along and they KNOW IT!!!
Summit's job is to promote and our job is to consume. And from where I'm sitting...everyone is doing their job.
And you can bet the very soul that occupies your body, that Rob and Kristen want out of this money making machine just as fast as their four little feet can carry him.
Okay. Her two small feet. His two big feet. They want this DONE!!! Especially Rob, so that he can go on with his career with legitimacy and credibility. Kristen's already got some of that because she's 'indie' and that spells credibility in that, she's not just in this for the money and the fame. Rob's 'indie' too, but for those who haven't seen his earlier work, they don't know that. They just see him as a money making 'franchise' guy.
Once this thing is OVER...they'll learn. - June 22, 2010 at 5:08 PM
- Ana73 said...
city of glass - yeah, but it is believable from summit, to make the hype for twilight saga even bigger. like i said there is no purpose for the camp out...when you got a wristband you had to show your ID and give a telephone #, so they were saying it's so that no one duplicates the wristband but if someone came back with that wristband and you had the same number they just had to look at your ID and verify the number that you gave. so the security guy couldn't argue that one and he finally said summit wants all the publicity and get those "certain camping out shots". i am going back tonight to give supplies to the girls i made friends with so i will see how things are going, but she told me they are moving camp sites tomorrow so i dont know what will happen then.

Hi RPG...
I'm so happy that it's going well. And even happier that all of my worry was for naught. Sounds like you're having a great time.
As for Sam's concert tonight. I know you've only got five hours, but parking is a bitch down on Caheunga. They do have parking at Hotel Cafe (10 bucks) and there are other parking lots around. Might not be too crazy on a Tuesday night. It was a nightmare when I went up this past Saturday night.
Have fun.
And okay. I'll see what I can do about that van. With our luck, this whole story will end up with all of us; the NB's, Rob, Dean and the elephant in the Chateau Marmont swimming pool.
Makes sense to me. - June 22, 2010 at 5:16 PM

Hi ladies! Hope all are well.

And with this being Hollywood and all of the shennanigans that have gone on in that hotel over the years, I doubt anyone would notice
a dozen women, a body guard, a superstar and an elephant cavorting in their swimming pool.
Now...if we were all naked. Sure.
And I don't know about you guys, but if I can ever get him in a pool, oh yeah...were going skinny dipping.
Drop 'em babe. I'll show you mine if you show me yours. Heh heh...
And no Rosie, you don't have to show me yours. I can see yours. HOLY SHIT! I thought Rosie was a girl.
Rob darlin...we might have finally found you some competition. Gives a whole new meaning to 'riding that elephant'.
Okay. That was just sick. Yeah. Well. Yanno. - June 22, 2010 at 5:26 PM
- ROBsessed89 said...
Oh shoot i love the new still and the new BANNER...DEAD!!
- June 22, 2010 at 5:27 PM
- ROBsessed89 said...
ROFLMAO...all i could say!!! =D - June 22, 2010 at 5:29 PM
- nikola6 said...
Sure ROBsessed...
Leave me your e-mail and we'll get this thing organized. I was thinking we'd rent a couple of hotel rooms, but this thing is growing in leaps and bounds. We might have to rent out the collisium. Which is fantastic. The more the merrier. Or the more the drunker and hornier.
And did I make you giggle there? Well. This thing is just too funny. I really do think we need to find all the posts, copy them off, edit it into one coherant narrative (well, as coherant as we can get), then wait for the moment and give it to him telling him...
'you don't know how close you came buddy. you just don't know. the only thing that saved you was...we couldn't get our hands on that goddamn van'. - June 22, 2010 at 5:37 PM
- Laurie said...
OK, Nik, that is going in the bundle. I'm thinking about the wake Rosie would make when she gets tipped into the pool. Takes belly flop to a whole new stratosphere.
How far back do you think the first Animal Control thing started? I'm pawing through the archives . . . - June 22, 2010 at 5:39 PM
- Lemonless said...
@Nik; It all started, I think, when the first papped shots came out from the WFE set. Either the first batch, or the second (I think).
You and SarahBear were talking about horses and monkeys, and a Dolly Parton wig,and it spread from there. See? I'm still laughing about it now. I think you and Laurie make a great writing team, with SarahBear as your catalyst.
BTW Laurie, I forgot to ask: just where is Dean's monkey tattoo? Please tell me it's where I imagine it! - June 22, 2010 at 5:41 PM
- ROBsessed89 said...
the collisium..sweet jesus filled with ROBsessed NB ahaha can it get better than that...YES WE WANT ROB WE WANT ROB lol... - June 22, 2010 at 5:43 PM
- Laurie said...
Well, that's why Dean's face is so very red. He's not telling so I guess we have to imagine where it might be. - June 22, 2010 at 5:45 PM

@Nik: who gets to give the thumbs up or thumbs down? [Oh, oh, oh, I've just had a little vignette of Rob in a Gladiator-type skirt waving a little sword around, trying to fend off a horde of drooling NBs! Kind of a cross between Spartacus and Dawn of the Dead!]
- June 22, 2010 at 5:47 PM
- Loisada said...
@Nik @RPG et all: I'm assuming the visit to the WFE set on Friday is off? Let a sister know what's up, on g-mail or here. And spill the beans about the EW report or other interviews you NBs!
- June 22, 2010 at 5:54 PM
- nikola6 said...
Oh this is one of those thread that I love...
We start out with Edward and Bella in the meadow and we end up...
with NB's naked with Rob and Rosie in a swimming pool.
Honestly. Who could not love us?
Although...the thread is young. God only knows where were headed with this.
Oh MissSarahBear? Where are you darlin'? Did you keep up during your break? 'Cause we got a little scenario going here that's right up your alley.
You know what I'm thinking? No Nik. Do tell. Okay. I will. I'm a thinkin' that if me and Laurie and Sarah, with our whacked out sense of the absurd, our comic timing and our writing ability, if we could lock ourselves into a room for just six weeks, we could come up with a 'road comedy' for him. I'm serious. I think we could do it.
It be about a brand new, young superstar with a bunch of crazy, 'mature' fans who lose their minds and go in pursuit of him. Like a dozen Lucy and Ethel's on the loose. Did anyone ever see a little film called "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"? It was produced by Spielberg back in the early 80's and was the story of a bunch of insane teenagers from New Jersey who went to NY in a hearse to find the Beatles when they first came to America to do the Ed Sullivan Show. It was hilarious. Something like that.
And of course it would have to end heartwarming. The crazy women would mean him no harm. They'd talk about what they want to do with him, but when they finally got their hands on him...they'd cluck about him not eating enough or not getting enough rest because at heart...they're mothers.
If done right, it would be just the right blend of slapstick and sentiment. And a treatise on fan worship. Why aren't there more stories about that? Fan worship? It is afterall the lifeblood of the movie business.
Although stories about fans are almost always told from the 'psychotic' point of view. And while were all nuts, not all of us are to be feared. I really do think there's a story in that idea...somewhere. - June 22, 2010 at 5:55 PM
- nikola6 said...
Okay babe. Got the e-mail. Take it down right now. Thanks.
- June 22, 2010 at 5:57 PM
- HeartThePretty_EvenMore said...
@Laurie - Poor Dean, tatooed in the line of duty. LOL
@Lemonless - Yes, I think you are right, it was the beginning of WFE. Now, all I can picture is Rob in a skirt. How short? ;D I say thumbs UP! - June 22, 2010 at 6:00 PM
- nikola6 said...
No Loisada...
The trip to the set isn't off at all. At least not that I've heard. In fact...
With Sam not doing a show that Friday night, we don't have to hightail it back into town. You guys could actually wait until he knocks off work and who knows, sometimes he does come over to say hi if everyone is quite and polite throughout shooting.
And we can't check into the Chateau until after 3pm and after that...anytime. And In N Out is open late on Friday night.
No. No. As much as it makes my stomach lurch about going up there, in a way, I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to RPG and DL having that chance. And that's where were gonna pick up and drag you back to the Chateau with us. Come to think of it...
I gotta e-mail you and get directions up to you neck of the woods. Will do that today. Promise.
I hope this isn't off. Did RPG say something? I'm so outta da loop. - June 22, 2010 at 6:05 PM
- ROBsessed89 said...
Your Welcome...
and that would be an awesome script im sure you ladies will be able to come up with, with your awesome wicked creative minds :P - June 22, 2010 at 6:05 PM
- HeartThePretty_EvenMore said...
@Nik - I remember that movie. LOL I know you three could do it. It takes everything I have not to bust out laughing at the office when I read those threads. You just need a catchy title. Let me see. . .
- June 22, 2010 at 6:07 PM
- Lemonless said...
@Hearttheprettyevenmore: What did everyone say about the mini skirt the first time round? Not so low that you can't touch the hem with your arms straight, and not so high that you can't bend down? Or some such thing... I was too young. Honestly! (Just.)
Like everyone says about our fair sex: 'no sense in losing your mystery: it's the one asset you all have'. Oh, so that was only MY dad. Ok, then. - June 22, 2010 at 6:08 PM
- Laurie said...
Nik, Lemonless, HeartThePretty_EvenMore, I found it!!! June 4 (113 comments) in the archives. I'm licking or clicking or whatever you are supposed to do to save it. When I get a few minutes I will put it in a document. [If you have an email I'll send it to you Nik.] Adding the new stuff from this thread. Thanks for the tip.
Oh and Nik, I think I might die laughing before anything of value got written but it is a terrific story line.
And I DO think Rob would look good as a Roman Soldier, short skirt thing and all. - June 22, 2010 at 6:09 PM
- nikola6 said...
In regards to the length of a skirt, one of my ex finaces (I had three of 'em. well. I liked to be engaged. was just gun shy about marriage) he had one that I thought was the best, comparing it to a book...
'long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to keep it interesing'.
Good one, huh? I agree. - June 22, 2010 at 6:13 PM

Now why did that post twice? I only hit 'publish your comment' once. At least I think I did. I am not drunk or sleep deprived at the moment. Okay. I am ALWAYS sleep deprived.
It's this hair trigger comp I tell ya. The damn thing moves so fast I swear it's on crack. - June 22, 2010 at 6:16 PM
- Lemonless said...
@Laurie: I hit a small snag in my daydream. Remember the stills from the Remember Me shoot with Tyler and Ali on the 'beach'? Those were some fawn-like legs under those shorts. Pretty (yes, hairs and all), but not robust.
If I saw those knees peeking out from that lil' ol' leather skirt it might not have quite the effect I was hoping for. - June 22, 2010 at 6:18 PM
- Lemonless said...
@Nik re: skirt description. Perfect!
Well if your comp's on crack, mine's on blow. Has to be: I ask it to do something and all it does is fall over, then eat up all my available memory.
Actually, I'm hoping it's on the 12-step because it's been behaving itself, since I brought in the Security. But don't speak too loud, or they'll find my serious stash of Robporn, and then I'm royally screwed. - June 22, 2010 at 6:22 PM
- HeartThePretty_EvenMore said...
@Lemonless - keep in mind he had to work out for Eclipse on the 'hamster wheel' and such and that was after RM. He also filled out a bit more in BA. By his own admission he has some long thighs. I think it would work. *wink*

Hi nikola- what kind of laptop do you have??
Wow ladies, your ideas sound so fun and funny. - June 22, 2010 at 6:31 PM

- Loisada said...
@Nik... no RPG hasn't said anything, just thought some of the ladies were heading out Friday and other activities were lined up for the a.m.
Will nose around to see if they are in Piru or Fillmore this week... Are the NBs driving in from Staples Center area? - June 22, 2010 at 6:34 PM

- June 22, 2010 at 6:55 PM
- nikola6 said...
I think this is the plan...
I'm coming up to Hollywood early Friday morning to have breakfast with the girls (whoever is still here) before they head out of town.
Then me, RPG, DF and possibly Cindeeloo will head up your way. Grab you, over to the set. You guys go on ahead. Me stay with car chain smoking and puking in the bushes. Since there's no Sam show on Friday, we can hang till he's through with work and maybe you guys can get a moment. Then...
All of us back to town. Check in at the hotel. Drop our shit. Tootle on down Sunset to Rob's In N Out for dinner (I never call it just In N Out. It's Rob's In N Out). Back to the hotel. Dip in the pool if we want ('course we'll have to get that damn elephant out of the way first). Back to the room. Jammies. Twilight, New Moon, hootch. Drooling. Talking. Possibly some passing out.
Next morning (or late morning depending on the activities of the previous evening)...brunch on the Chateau patio. Possibly a scoot over to Melrose for a shopping excursion at Wasteland and then...
Hugs. Kisses. Some tears. And Goodbye. Until we reconvene July of 2011 in San Diego for ROBstock III at Comic Con.
I think that is the plan. - June 22, 2010 at 6:58 PM
- jlsentangledweb said...
Laurie, that was priceless! Please, please, someone post your Animal Control in its entirety (old and new stuff).
I've gotta admit, when I saw 80 comments posted on this thread, I cringed before reading. But, as Nik observed, this is my kinda thread:)
Poor Dean, the things he must endure to keep that imp safe! - June 22, 2010 at 6:59 PM
- Laurie said...
Nik, I got it. You can take it down. Thanks.
- June 22, 2010 at 7:02 PM
- nikola6 said...
And please don't worry about chipping in on the hotel. A friend got the room for us at an amazing discount (oh. it's nice to know a few people) and the rest is on me. I am afterall inviting you.
And I'll bring the hootch. So far...
Vodka and OJ for Screwdrivers.
Vodka and cranberry juice for Cosmos.
And my personal favorite...Peach Snapps and OJ for Fuzzy Navels.
And yeah...I'll throw in a six pack of Heinekein in da baby's honor. - June 22, 2010 at 7:03 PM
- nikola6 said...
Oh thank you Laurie for getting to that so quickly. Sorry for being such a paranoid little freak.
And with that...I forgot something. I actually do have to go out today. I need to run over to Best Buy and pick up Remember Me and then over to the theatre to get my tickets for the midnight showing of Eclipse.
I swear to god...the running around I do for that kid.
Laters babies... - June 22, 2010 at 7:10 PM
- nikola6 said...
Oh. And Loisada...
Anything in particular you like to sip while drooling over The Pretty?
Just lemme know and I'll add it to the hooch run.
And when we get to your place, can we store it in your fridge? 'Cause if it sits in a hot car all day, we'll have to throw it out and go on another run. I'll e-mail you tonight. Promise. And I'll try to give RPG a ring too. Maybe after the show.
I'll check back in latah...
If any of the NB's are reading...
Have a wonderful, wonderful time at Sam's show tonight. And here's a tip. If the baby is there, there's only one place he can go to smoke. The back alley which is where you'll enter the club.
And disgusting a thought though it might be to some of you, you might want to consider taking up smoking if only for tonight. Or maybe you could find yourselves some of those candy cigarettes and fake it.
Just a thought. And I got a million of 'em. Yeah. They know. That's why they're scared of you.
Oh dear. My alter personality is back. It's so annoying how she pops into my posts simply to mock me. Problem is...she's usually got a point. - June 22, 2010 at 7:19 PM
- nikola6 said...
Oh btw...
Spoke with Cindeeloo on the phone last night (trying to get her into that show tonight) and if you're reading darlin'...
I knew by the first sound of your voice...'this is an adorable person'. And you were. I so enjoyed talking with you and I hope you can make it Friday. Even Friday night at the Chateau. Hell. What's one more rollaway? Although...who's gonna sleep?
Okay. That's it. I really go. Back latah... - June 22, 2010 at 7:29 PM

Extra TV just showed TENT city with lots of girls setting up their tents and one big sign that said ROB - YOU ROBBED MY HEART....awww so cute.
Then they showed Kristen and Taylor in Stockholm Sweden. One video asked them if they missed Rob and K said yes she goes back to the hotel crying each night.
(I would too) Tay said he missed Rob cause he was funny and kept everything light and was fun to travel with. - June 22, 2010 at 7:48 PM
- femroc said...
It looks like there is a big red sign to the left of the giant screen at the Nokia Theater that either says PUCK or FUCK........can any of you NB's clarify what it says???

Oh ladies, I so enjoy reading all these stuff, from Team LA to Ground Control to Animal Control to the plans for friday on set. I adore these kind of threads and I wish I could be in LA in stead of Europe.

@Nik, I asked this on another thread where you were gone, so if you come back...
Have you ever seen this kind of zealous promotion of a franchise film (i.e. sending K&T all over the globe in a day's time, the dozens of interviews once AGAIN only months after NM, TV appearances up the kazoo), not to mention ratcheting up the merchandising end of it, as well. $$$$$. I'm starting to think that maybe "Les Grossman" actually runs Summit Entertainment. LOL. Not so funny for the kids doing yeoman's work at their bidding. I mean, really is this something really NEW in the industry, and if so, no wonder they're all looking at it and thinking about future promotional strategy. Eclipse is guaranteed to win BO and make millions if no one had even opened their mouths or given a few scattered interviews. Agree? - June 22, 2010 at 9:30 PM

Well I just went back and read this entire thread (and still laughed myself silly over Laurie tossing Rob and Dean up on that elephant) and even though it's probably breathing it's last breath, just thought I'd answer a few people (in case anyone peeks in one last time). And in no particular order...
Not sure how much you kept up during your break, but if not much, then we gotta get you up to speed with the elephant. Next time were on together, I'll put my e-mail up quick so you can copy it down and then I'll delete the post (did that a couple of times today).
Are you gonna be gone by early Friday morning? I can get up there really early if I need to. I mean, ya gotta eat fore you get on that plane sweetie. I was hoping we could all have breakfast before everyone departs. I'll be calling RPG tomorrow (as it's past midnight here in LA and I figure she's probably tucked in for the night at Tent City) and we'll get Friday morning figured out. Sure hope we can work it out somehow 'cause I would really like to meet as many of you as possible.
I have a Toshiba and it's some kind of fancy schmantzy with it's fair share of bells and whistles, but that's all I know. It's like when someone asks me, 'what kind of car do you have?' and I reply, 'dark green'. And that's all I know. Can you guess my middle name? It's moron. That's
M.O.R.O.N. Moron. BTW...did you get into the show tonight? I sure hope so.
How are you too hon? Come on back and play, huh? In case you haven't heard, we've now got an elephant on board. Stick around 'cause I think a CGI baby is up next.
I heard about you meeting the girls tonight. That's wonderful darlin' and I can't wait to hear all about it. And I was wondering something. Will you have had your fill of In N Out by Friday? LOL! Wouldn't want to see you colon explode or anything (it's a wonder his hasn't). Talk soon.
In reference to your husband about something Rob related, you said and I quote...
"like I give a shit what he thinks about it."
And with that cats and kittens, I do believe that we have nailed down the basic philosopy of ROBsessed. Well done.
Please go back and read my reply to 'cityofglass'. I believe it's post #43 (yes, I went back and counted) as I addressed your question to me there. And no, I cannot recall when I have seen such a promotional campaign for a film franchise. Although, I do not follow the Potter franchise with a fine tooth comb, but even so, I am aware of that franchise as I'm a big fan of both the books and the films and no, it just doesn't seem as visible when it comes time to their promotion. Could be. Just doesn't seem so. And I agree in part that Summit would not need to do another second of promotion for this franchise if they were only seeking after the core audience as they've got us sewn up down to the last stitch. But they're not. They're trying to lure the rest of the world into the theatre. Ergo; promotion up the wazoo.
Something about me "tempting you down the road of ruin?" Why thank you sweetheart. I'm gonna take that as a major compliment. And if I can, then I would consider my work here to be DONE! Will e-mail before I hit the hay...if I do. With me, ya never know.
And crap. I think I'm gonna need a second post. - June 23, 2010 at 3:54 AM
- nikola6 said...
This is so sad. It's taking me two posts to talk to no one. And I know it. And I'm doing it anyway. Isn't that sad? Psychotic? Actually, it's pathetic. Don't think you got the market cornered on pathetic there Rob 'ol boy. I'm on the sofa too. Scoot yer ass over. There's probably a pill for what ails me, but I doubt they've come up with it yet. So if I gotta suffer from whatever it is I'm suffering from, I'm taking ya all down with me.
So let us continue. Shall we?
In addition to finding all of this elephant 'stuff', there's something else I want and I'm not suggesting that you go find it as you've done quite enough finding the...uh...elephant stuff. But I want the...
"Honey I'm home."
Remember those two? If anybody knows where they're at and could put up a link or even give me a ballpark in terms of the dates of those threads, I'd go hunt them down in the archives myself (if I can find the archives) AND I'd owe you big time. I'm not sure how I'd pay you, but I'd owe you. I really do want them. Not for my ego, but I really do have a reason and any help for this moron, that's M.O.R.O.N. moron would be greatly appreciated. Yanno. That might not be a bad new screen name for me. Either that or...StupidDumbAss. Whadda ya think? How 'bout
M.O.R.O.N.I.C.StupidDumbAss. Too many letters? Focus Nik. FOCUS!
And finally...
For all of you who are living all of this vicariously, I want you to think about something...
Comic Con 2011. I think it's a pretty sure bet that they'll be there as the BD shoot will be done, they'll have footage to share. And since they won't be back for Comic Con 2012 as BD. pt.2will have already been released before July, next year will be Twilight's farewell to the Con.
And this gives us a year to put this together. You have to book hotel rooms in San Diego about a year in advance for that particular week as they go VERY quickly and it would be more convienent to stay in SD as so many of you would be without cars but there'd be enough locals amoungst us that we could carpool from a hotel. Or if we stayed nearby we could walk over (and as I recall...the cast stays at the Hard Rock I think, just next door to the convention center...I think. Hmmm...possibilities there would be interesting). And the tickets wouldn't go on sale until next year. And this would give people time to save for their airfare. I really think we could have a blow out there. A huge, massive ROBsessed reunion, get together, party of the year, whatever. And this is a GREAT venue for spending some actual time in his presence and most likely would be one of the last opportunities. With the Saga coming to an end, he's not going to be doing these kinds of fan events throughout the rest of his career. He's just not.
Let's think about this one guys. I think we can do this and it would give those who are so far away, a chance to see him and to meet your friends here on the blog.
I'm gonna be bringing this up around here on other threads to see if there's any real interest. And trust me...this would be amazing if we could pull it off. Comic Con is crazy, but it's controlled crazy because they know what they're doing.
Okay then. I think the madness is done...for tonight. But seriously, please forgive my indulgence.
Nite guys. Love ya. - June 23, 2010 at 4:39 AM

The ONLY wig I truly wear
By White Dove
from Somewhere USA
About Me Professional Stylist
Comments about Paula Young Gala Wig by Gabor:
I have to wear wigs due to Hair being too thin for whatever the reason...Thyroid, heart, whatever. Most wigs bug me or look wiggy. I buy them & then they end up in a box because I cant stand it. THIS wig is the only one I will wear. It's the hair I always wanted but never had. I don't know the actual person who created it but would love to give them a virtual hug & tell them how they got me out of a scarf. I wiped my tears & even got a picture.
Don't knw why I waited so long.
By Mel
from Phoenix, Arizona
About Me Minimalist
It's a miracle in a box. I gave it a good shake and put it on and didn't even have to comb it (but I did) You wouldn't believe the complements right from the get go. I should have done this sooner.

Love this wig
By Sue
from Ky.
Love love this wig. I have several and this is by far my favorite. Just wish it would go on sale so that I could get another, I don't pay full price for any of them. The fit is great and the style is wonderful, no one knows I am wearing a wig. My hair started to thin because of the blood presure medicine I was on and that is when I purchased my first wig and have been wearing them for about 2 years now.

Northwest Missouri State University students and faculty members representing the school's music and English programs will perform Wednesday during a concert featuring compositions by Franz Schubert along with the works of writers and poets who inspired him.
The free concert will begin at 8 p.m. in Charles Johnson Theater on the first floor of the Olive DeLuce Fine Arts Building.
Pamela Shannon, associate professor of music, and Jeff Loomis, professor of English, organized the performance, which will combine the talents of 13 Northwest student vocalists and seven literature students.
The performance will also include visual images prepared by Jolaine Zweifel, a computer specialist in Northwest's Center for Information Technology in Education.
Shannon and Northwest student Kyle Zimmerman will serve as narrators, presenting information about Schubert's life and work. Accompanists are to include Charles Badami, Deena Poynter and Cody Bradley.
Schubert, who lived 1797-1828, was an Austrian composer widely known for his art songs. He frequently found inspiration in the Romantic poetry of his era, including works by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, one of Western Europe's acknowledged literary masters.
"When (Schubert) read the poems of Goethe, it fostered his imagination," Shannon said. "He took the poems of this man and others and brought a world of poetry into music."
The concert will feature poems and songs that explore themes of love, life and death.
Among the works selected for the program are "Gretchen at the Spinning Wheel," "Little Rose of the Field," and The Elf King."

Is on these protesters mind Lamar merit -- bound up -- himself.
Instilling -- that I go into the belly to be so let's just say.
This -- to environmentalists discovered something far more -- and a lot more scared look at this.
Screaming at dismantle the pipeline but we will dismantle the pipeline we would like -- by any means necessary for this -- -- not be -- whether that means it strikes.
But their workers or by any means necessary we bullies -- support.
You sound like he's any means necessary and I'm getting -- that things get blown up and eco terror is that what you are buying no.
I'm saying by any means that we can get it by Barack Obama -- at that respect -- not endorsing dismantling physically violation of the law already kind of -- terrorism higher.
But it depends on the circumstances.
That's not out -- and if that gets a possibility means necessary we mean by any means necessary we would support it.
Warren -- -- us now mark wound.
Just -- Yeah this was a very typical.
Sentiment at this rally there's anger and it's not just these are not just -- these are few disgruntled protesters.
The lead at NASA global warming scientist has announced its game over for the climate if we approve the Keystone Pipeline James Hansen.
He was arrested for the third or fourth time this past week.
Protests in the pipeline -- -- the NASA's lead scientist endorsed the book.
Calling for ridding the world of industrial civilization for blowing up dams and raising cities to the ground and turning up our greenhouse gas machine.
NASA's lead -- warming scientists was this god this particular bandied about about that eco terror and the pipeline his inspiration.
To stop the pipeline.
So the leaders at NASA.
I would -- -- column -- resident ex con is inspiring these people to potential acts of -- terrorism.
And there against all forms of energy which doesn't make sense because if you have a pipeline if we're getting oil from democracy in Canada that's caught ethical oil.
As opposed the conflict oil getting -- from Nigeria Venezuela.
For the Middle East it's a very simple choice where every wanna get our oil in the ethical and moral ways to get -- from friendly democratic neighbors not countries with poor human rights.
You know what's scary is -- not a lot of these interviews and enlightening saints reviewed that one young young fellow is that.
The end justifies the means and if push came to -- then it's it is you know it it it meant to you know it's -- this thing down or or doing god knows what.
If it meant a world without this -- it's a better world for that -- to be crazy talk.
Yes and it it's all about it's not even about not in my backyard so much as they're worried about the extra CO2 that would be admitted in our atmosphere.
This is the new having the same guy James Hansen said we only have four years left to save the planet in January 2009 we passed another Mayan calendar deadline.
-- they've these people believe in this doomsday prophecy and don't think they won't act domain when I was in the US senate environment committee.
We had to deal with -- terrorism when it came to animal rights we have built it that it has been eco terrorism when it deals with property rights and -- Colorado so it's a very real thing torching suvs.
This movement if it gets frustrated particularly frustrated with a democratic President Obama -- supposed to be their standard bear.
And actually goes ahead and approve the pipeline they're going to be a lot of angry people not the least of which is -- and the NASA scientist going to jail again James Hansen.
And homeland you're brave fellow Marco and right into the ground but always good -- -- -- In Washington yeah.

I am very seriously considering getting my first tattoo. I know what I want as far as artwork. Any advice or warnings as far as the procedure? If you have a tattoo, of course my question is how much did it hurt? Did you ask your spouse or significant other's opinion on getting your tattoo before you did it?

Richard III seemed "alive and about to speak," he said.
"At last, it seems, we have the true image of Richard III -- is this the face that launched a thousand myths?"
Sarah Levitt, head of Leicester City Council's Arts and Museum division said the reconstruction had the presence of a "living, breathing man."
It would be given "pride of place" in the Richard III visitors center due to open in the central England city next year, she said.

Miss Mary Mack
I've never worked on a project and been so aware that the image I was stitching was evoking all sorts of specific thoughts. While I was stitching Miss Mary Mack --having restarted it, since you cannot do this over one with silk mori and stitch a full cross--I thought of so many things. The most obvious is the hand-clapping rhyme itself, Miss Mary Mack Mack Mack/All dressed in black black black. I thought of the girls I used to do those hand-clapping games with: Ashley, and Sue, and Pam, and well, Jessica was too cool to do them, but her too.
Then I remembered this thing on Zoom, "Soandso loves jam but hates jelly." It could have been Miss Mary Mack, but I don't think that's quite right. Children of the 70s? Chime in! It was in the Zoom book that I had, which is probably still in my parents' attic. Anyway, the "joke" was that the person hated one thing but loved something very similar. I can only remember the jam/jelly example. But you can't think of Zoom without remembering Bernadette. "I'm Bernadette!" Cue music, butterfly arms, butterfly arms. Remember that thing she used to do? She was so cool for someone named Bernadette.
Then I was thinking how much I hated it when people used to say "merry-mack" or "mary-mack" for the town I grew up in, Merrimack. The "i" is short, people, like in sick. I was so young to be so annoyed with people all the time (we moved out of Merrimack when I was 10). I know there are other Merrimac(k)s that are pronounced more like "merry" than "meri," but it irked me.
I kept thinking, too, how dense the silk was. I don't mean the actual number of stitches, more the color. It's a matte black and it seems like you can see the light being sucked out of the atmosphere and into that black. And for some reason, that reminded me of Victorian mourning. I think it's the long dress and unfashionable shoes she's wearing. It seems a little Victorian. All that black too.
Which reminded me of a Joyce Carol Oates novel I read. There was a character who was tall and old and dressed rather unfashionably and all in black, if I'm remembering right. I think it's Mysteries of Winterthurn. I can't remember precisely, but there may have been the suggestion that she murdered her child. That part may be confused. I'm not sure I finished the book.
And how could I not think of the Gashlycrumb Tinies by Edward Gorey. "O is for Olive run through by an awl." That's the only one I can remember. But they're all so sick.
Then I started thinking about the hair. It's very Medusa-like. But then I confused Medea, the mother who fed her children to her husband, with Medusa, the gorgon. And I can't think of women killing their children without reminiscing about my dissertation.
And then it was time to go to bed.

And that is why stitching is so cleansing...helps you forget the day, and remenber random stuff you had not thought about in years.
- jo said...
Loved your wandering thoughts here. And now I'll be singing Miss Mary Mack the rest of the day...
BTW, Merrimack, NH? - 8:34 AM
- Patti said...
Anna, I can't believe you live in Merrimack - that's where I moved from in April. How would we never have met? Maybe we have! :-) I was a Zoom kid too - it's nice to see it's still around and the same for the most part.
Love, love, love your Miss M start - she is looking very fetching! - 12:24 PM
- Patti said...
I meant live-d!!
- Anna van Schurman said...
I bet we've never met because I moved out of Merrimack in 1976 and out of NH all together in 1991. But in my heart, home is in NH.
- KarenV said...
MMM is looking great so far, even though she's headless ;) She's such a fun stitch!
- Barbara said...
What a great train-of-thought post - I loved reading this! I wanted to do her in silk, too, but didn't have the right colors in my stash. I can't wait to see yours.
I'm also formerly from NH (Campton, up in the White Mountains); we moved in 1980 or 81. And I dreamed of being on ZOOM. (I still do. ) - 8:24 AM
- Rósa said...
Like the others I loved reading your train of thought on this. It's amazing how much really goes through our minds when we are stitching. Well, sometimes. sometimes it's the not thinking that is so alluring about cross stitching, being just focused on stitching and reading the chart..
- Joanie said...
I loved reading your train of thought about Miss Mary. Very insightful. Brought back childhood memories of those hand-clapping days with Amy and Nancy...gosh where are they now?!
Miss Mary and I aren't getting along right at the moment...it'll be the 4th time I start her as the frogging went rather badly.
Thanks for the help with the links instructions...worked like a charm!
- Moxie said...
"F-A-double N-double E D-double O-L-Double E. Fannee Doolee likes jelly, but she doesn't like jam! What's that all about?"
They still do it, although the ZOOM kids are now named things like Kyle and Courtney.
Love the stream of conscience. - 7:05 PM
- Old Yankee Stitcher said...
Ok, one from your group has stitched Mary's head another her feet and you are stitching the in between. What a riot. I am having fun watching all of your progress.
- susie said...
On my first visit to my LNS here in Connecticut, I bought that Miss Mary Mack pattern and the fabric to stitch it on. I can't wait to do it someday, it is really awesome!
- Lisa said...
I loved finding your MMM WIP! When I saw her I fell head over heels in love with the design so much that I am making a dollshouse with her as its inhabitant "Spinster Mack" who is the proprietor of a needlework shop (all in miniature). Bags wil have her face/hair as logo...she will wer black...here's my MMM WIP:
Lisa :-) - 5:19 PM
- Miss Quoted said...
i just bought Miss Mary Mack this week - so i was delighted to see your post on it on your sidebar - I bought it because it reminded me of the Gorey series as well ... B is for Basil assaulted by bears!
Did you complete it? - 5:16 AM

The album had a more Rock'N'Roll feel to it than his previous albums and it's success was due to 2 very commercial singles (Elton's most commercial to date). Have Mercy On The Criminal is a rock classic brilliantly combining lead guitar and strings, The album also included a tribute to Marc Bolan in the shape of Teenage Idol.

Lyrics by Jon Anderson & Steve Howe
1. The Revealing Science of God (Dance of the Dawn)
2. The Remembering (High the Memory)
3. The Ancient (Giants under the Sun)
4. Ritual (Nous sommes du soleil)
Yes' 6th studio album is concept double album containing four 20 min tracks based on the Shastric scriptures, as found in a footnote within Paramahansa Yogananda's book Autobiography of a Yogi, was their most ambitious to date. The four songs of the album symbolise (in track order) the concepts of Truth, Knowledge, Culture, and Freedom, the subjects of that section of text. According to drummer Bill Bruford in his autobiography (p. 72), former King Crimson percussionist Jamie Muir introduced vocalist Jon Anderson to Paramahansa Yogananda's work during Bruford's wedding in March 1973, and therefore had an indirect impact on the album's concept.
The album's sleeve was once again designed by Roger Dean.
There were no singles taken from this album and no known out-takes except for alternative.
Live Performances:
Yes performed the album in it's entirety on the tour to promote it 1973/74. No official recording exsists of any of these shows.
Edited version of Ritual recorded at the House Of Blues 2000 released on the CD House Of Yes, and a live recording with the European festival orchestra released on the CD Symphonic Yes.

The most classic of the many line-ups for the Birmingham based hard rock outfit. This line-up lasted for 5 albums, more than any other line-up. With Mick Box the only ever presrent member of Uriah Heep, who are still going.
David Byron and Gary Thain both died, Lee Kerslake joinrd Ozzy Osbourne (he later rejoined Uriah Heep but left because of ill health) Ken Hensley left the band in 1980 who persued a solo career, but occasionally joins his old band on stage.
Sweet Freedom never lived up to the albums before it Look At Yourself, Deamonds & Wizards and the Magicians birthday, but was still a fine album and produced the classic Heep number Stealin'.
