Fall marathon season is upon us, with major races in Chicago, Amsterdam, Beijing, and New York just around the corner. Here's how to be prepared so the season's notoriously erratic weather won't spoil race day.
When it's freezing: Running expert Jeff Gaudette at Competitor.com advises "ratty sweatshirts" and old gloves, a hat, and a pair of sweatpants you won't mind ditching once you've started running a few kilometers to warm up. Most marathons also donate discarded running clothing to charities.
When it's raining: While you may see runners sporting trashbags as ponchos, you'll be better off asking friends or family to pass along some dry clothes during the race. If it's really pouring, have them pass along an extra pair of shoes. Competitor.com also advises slathering your hands and lower legs with petroleum jelly to protect against cold rain. Running blog The Bull Runner advises wearing a hat with a visor to keep drizzling rain off your face, and wearing wicking fabrics while avoiding cotton, which absorbs water and can weigh you down. Also, wet shoes can lead to blisters, so plan accordingly and pre-bandage your toes.
When it's hot: Stay hydrated. Try carrying a water bottle and taking

"And then, in the blowing clouds, she saw a band of faint iridescence colouring in faint colours a portion of the hill. And forgetting startled, she looked for the hovering colour and saw a rainbow forming itself. In one place it gleamed fiercely, and, her heart anguished with hope, she sought the shadow of iris where the bow should be." – D. H. Lawrence

Epsom Athletic achieve their 10-year plan
11:48am Friday 20th April 2012 in Other Football By Graham Moody, Sports Reporter
When football teams make a plan to get to a certain level within a certain time frame – it normally comes back to bite them on the behind.
But Epsom Athletic broke the mould last week when they won promotion to the Combined Counties League as champions of the Surrey Elite Intermediate League.
It fulfiled the declaration they made exactly a decade ago when they stated their aim for Combined Counties football in 10 years.
"We've had a bit of luck on occasions where an extra team have been promoted but we've pretty much earned our right to get up there," said club chairman and former manager Paul Burstow, who has been involved from the start.
"We're going into the Combined Counties for the first time at the club so we're excited – it's going to be much harder as it's a big step.
"We're going to go in for the first year, dip our toes in the water and see how it goes.
"No one really knows if the higher level is going to be a big step up or how we are going to cope."
Epsom, who were founded 16 years ago, have been promoted at least once every two seasons consistently over the past decade.
"When we started our aim was Combined Counties football," added Burstow.
"We've achieved that and it's a new world now, it's got more serious.
"The team we've got is really strong and we still get lots of players wanting to play for us. I'm more anxious about the other side of it – off the pitch.
"We're all passionate and believe what we're doing but we have to juggle the club with our personal lives.
"But we love it, we're ambitious, passionate and we've got that drive to go onwards and upwards.
"We want to keep going and I think we can."

TAMPA -- When Tropical Storm Isaac churned through the Caribbean and took aim at the Florida peninsula, it carried with it new risk and opportunity for Gov. Rick Scott.
The unpopular governor, who had been kept on the fringes of the Republican National Convention, suddenly was thrust into the national spotlight — not for hosting the Republican National Convention but for managing the storm.
Almost overnight, the governor was expected to prove his mettle in a crisis. He followed the pattern of other governors before him, holding televised briefings at the emergency operations center to update the public and deliver early storm warnings and advice.
But with both the storm and thousands of delegates heading to Tampa Bay, Scott stepped it up a notch. He cancelled his meet and greet with fundraisers Sunday evening, pulled out of the economic development events he planned to host on Monday, cancelled all his activities through Tuesday and withdrew plans to give a seven-minute prime time speech originally scheduled for Monday's opening session. He may return Thursday the final night of the convention, but it all depends on Isaac.
"Floridians are getting to see Rick Scott at his best right now,'' said Lenny Curry, chairman of the Florida Republican Party on Monday afternoon. "Rick Scott as the leader, the problem solver.''
Scott's decision to cancel his events helped persuade convention organizers to cancel Monday's RNC events too, Curry said. "Nobody this week wanted to say we can't hold events on Monday. He stepped forward and said I am not participating Sunday and Monday, because I'm focused on citizens of Florida and people who travel to Florida."
It may prove to be Isaac's silver lining, said Allison DeFoor, a Scott advisor and a Florida Republican Party leader. "Leadership always trumps politics,'' he said, noting that Isaac may turn out "a godsend,'' for the governor's sagging poll numbers.
It is, in fact, Scott — not Romney — who Floridians are often seeing on TV. And it's Scott's voice that is reassuring Florida and thousands of convention guests as Isaac impacts the coastline.
"We do hurricanes well and we do hospitality well," he told CNN's Candy Crowley Sunday morning. "And this week, we've got to show both sides."
Through the weekend, Scott operated out of an emergency operations center in Tampa set up by the RNC officials. On Monday, Scott returned to Tallahassee where he could work from the state's emergency command center and monitor the progress of the storm, which was expected to make landfall on Tuesday between Pensacola and Mobile, Alabama.
"As much as it was an honor to be asked to give a speech at the convention — and I was going to talk about how well our state is doing — my job is to make sure that this is a safe place for everybody that is either a resident or is a visitor of our state," Scott said Sunday.
Curry wouldn't speculate on whether the perception of Scott has improved because of his response to the storm, but he did take a shot at former Republican Gov. Charlie Crist.
Crist used the eve of the RNC to pen an op-ed piece in the Tampa Bay Times endorsing President Barack Obama. It was then followed by an invitation for Crist to speak at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte next week . Many Republicans believe it is the first sign that Crist is posturing to challenge Scott in the 2014 race for governor.

Who are you? Or better yet, are you who the public thinks you are?
Feedback's Dean Browell offers a short study of sorts on U.K. social media site The Wall into we go about crafting our online identities for various audiences. He writes the following on Facebook's new and slightly freaky Timeline feature:
Facebook's Timeline changes things a bit. The 7-day grace period Facebook gave users to trim, prune and add to their Timeline speaks volumes to the impact it has on us as a representation of our online identities. For many, it was a complete shock to see Facebook had bothered to keep all of the data they have been posting for years and neatly displayed it as a scrolling scrapbook for them.
The sins of several years ago lined up with the very thing you posted yesterday, the errant ex appearing again for the first time since the breakup. As Facebook accurately described it, it was truly a digital scrapbook of our limited lives as they pertain to Facebook. It combines the realtime and the oldtime. It makes us a sum of our parts. Of course we can shift and delete and highlight to create a carefully crafted identity on Timeline as well, but it made us stop and consider.
Read more of Dean's high points on how we are perceived on different social networks over at The Wall.

Bolingbrook man strives to preserve home country's culture
BOLINGBROOK – Local business leader Mir Ali describes the first time Pakistan's flag was raised outside the village as a landmark event within the Pakistani and Bolingbrook communities.
"The first Pakistani people moved to Bolingbrook about 25 years ago," Ali said. "And 22 years ago, Talat Rashid, a planning commissioner and founder of Bolingbrook's Association of Pakistani Americans, lobbied that the flag be raised on Pakistani Independence Day."
About 20 families witnessed Bolingbrook's first Pakistani flag hoisting ceremony and Ali explains that the inaugural proceeding steadily evolved into Bolingbrook's annual Pakistan Day – an event that is attended by locals and visitors from Iowa, Ohio and Canada – and shed light on Bolingbrook's burgeoning Pakistani community.

Canada captured its fifth straight World Junior Hockey Championship gold with a 5-1 victory over Team Sweden in front of a record crowd in Ottawa.
Canadian netminder Dustin Tokarski saved his best performance of the championship for the final, turning aside 39 shots in the win. While he was shaky at times during the tournament, the native of Watson, SK was sharp against Sweden.
Tokarski's play coupled with steady pressure from Canada on Sweden's goaltender, Jacob Markstrom, were the difference. Markstrom looked rattled during the game and there were several run-ins with Canadian players.
Head coach Pat Quinn's decision to go with Tokarski in the final was met with some skepticism following rough starts against the United States and then Russia in the semifinal game.
"I knew I had to come out better tonight and I think I did that," Tokarski told TSN after making the game.
"Pat Quinn was smart. Dustin Tokarski's pedigree is phenomenal," said TSN's Pierre McGuire. "You think about being the Memorial Cup MVP and when he needed to be at his best, he was in the gold medal game."
The attendance for the game was announced at 20,380, a single game record for the WJHC and the five straight gold medals equals a Canadian record for the tournament (1993-97).
"There's nothing like this," John Tavares told TSN before the medal presentation. "There's nothing like it at all. Listen to these fans. That's five, Canada."
Tavares was named most valuable player and top forward for the tournament undoubtedly helping him become the top pick in the 2009 NHL Entry draft.
Canada would go looking for a record setting sixth straight gold in the 2010 tournament to be held in Saskatoon and Regina.

Parenting is hard enough without the supernatural clomping through the house.
The Odd Life of Timothy Green, a family-oriented fantasy, centers on a childless couple longing so passionately for a child that God or nature or something delivers.
Cindy and Jim Green (Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton) have been forced to accept that they can't have a child of their own. Yet, fueled by a bottle of wine, they spend an evening writing on slips of paper the qualities they imagine in their offspring. They put the papers in a box and bury it in the yard.
A magical rainstorm descends, and out of the earth comes a smiling boy of about 10.He calls himself Timothy and addresses the adults as his parents. With strangely uncuttable leaves growing out of his shins, he suggests an eco-miracle.
Relieved that their prayers have been answered, the Greens accept Timothy (CJ Adams) as theirs and introduce him to their kin as a sudden arrival from an adoption service.
The central thrust of the movie is that the Greens have to learn that parenting is trickier than they expected. One by one, the qualities they wrote on those slips of paper show up as their son's character traits, for good and bad.
The premise is a promising one for a small fable about parenting, but the filmmakers can't help piling on. Timothy's world becomes jammed with disagreeable adults, each of whom seems created to underscore how naturally perfect Timothy is.
They include Cindy's imperious and humorless boss (Dianne Wiest); Jim's boss (Ron Livingston), a conniving weasel; and Jim's father (David Morse), who demands athletic perfection. Even the soccer coach (Common) refuses to put Timothy into a game.
As his "parents" scramble to achieve a preconceived ideal, Timothy glides through his scenes like a pleasant cipher devoid of human qualities. A comment on human behavior — or flawed writing?
The attentive viewer, meanwhile, struggles with questions about why the Greens' relatives so easily accept that a grown boy has suddenly arrived in the family — or why members of an adoption board, hearing all this in flashback, keep listening after the Greens' description of Timothy's "birth."
The movie might have originally been conceived as a simple allegory, but the production soon became too intent on rallying a sentimental audience with little regard for logic or reality, even within a fantasy framework.
Anyone emotionally involved in issues of adoption or parenting might find chords that strike home in The Odd Life of Timothy Green. Those more detached should seek inspiration elsewhere.

In the company of his friend, fellow world traveler and photographer Maxime du Camp, French novelist Gustave Flaubert visited Jerusalem in 1850. The urbane and sophisticated Flaubert was decidedly unimpressed with this crumbling backwater of the Ottoman Empire: "Jerusalem stands as a fortress; here the old religions silent rot away. One treads on dung; ruins surround you wherever your eyes wander -- a very sad and sorry picture."
That same year, a Rev. George Wilson Bridges also made his way tothe Holy City. An English cleric and an amateur photographer, Bridges and his young son traveled through Palestine as part of a seven-year journey around the Mediterranean and the East. Bridges undertook the journey as a form of solace: He had just buried his wife and daughter in Jamaica -- victims of a tropical fever they contracted while the reverend was there doing missionary work. Steeped as he was in grief and religious conviction, Bridges found that Jerusalem's atmosphere of melancholia and desolation suited him. "What sight," he observed after witnessing Jews praying at the Western Wall, "even in this wondrous city, so touching, so impressive as this -- Jews mourning the ruins of Jerusalem...."

I love the idea that Rose Festival offers two parades; one for the folks who love fancy flowers and lots of expensive, long floats with beautiful women waving like Disney princesses. The other, the Starlight parade, a funky, fabulous, homegrown parade that features more truck driven floats than the Molalla buckaroo parade. We go every year and I can't remember ever being rained on. The night is warmed by the welcome mat Portland puts out for the party - a great big moving bumper sticker, "Keeping Portland Weird."The parade begins with a fun run, where the most competitive contestants fly by wearing Nike shorts and racing flats. Then come the costumes. This year, a 200 pound man led the costume charade dressed like a Black Swan. Following him, legions of moms, dads, grandpas, grandmas, strollers, all dressed in costumes ranging from Blazer dancers to Luke Skywalker.
This year, 250,000 people packed the downtown blocks for a night of revelry. It's like Mardi Gras with a Portland twist. You'll see bikes, unicycles, segways and high riders. The bands are all local, and the dancers range from tiny tots to Grandmas in tutus. I've often been asked what makes this event so much different than the Grand FLoral parade. It doesn't try too hard. It allows Portland's creative culture to come out in all of it's pink chiffon. It lets Darcelle be the Grand dame that she is, in her neon lit gown, and people of every color, shape and size applaud as she goes by.
The Starlight Parade is the most diverse party on wheels. It ushers in summer with a wink and a nod. I'd love to hear from you as to which Rose Festival event you love and why.

LIVE - Basingstoke Town v Dover Athletic
2:32pm Saturday 27th October 2012 in Sport By John Boyman
This live event has finished
FULL-TIME - Basingstoke Town 0 Dover Athletic 1
Jason Bristow got the response he wanted but it's still another defeat for Town. They were the better side and created enough chances to win the match - but just did not take them.
See The Monday Gazette for a full report and all of the reaction to the game.
That's another fine save by the visiting 'keeper, who keeps out Delano Sam-Yorke's low shot after a bustling run by the striker.
Both men seem to be okay though and are now back on.
That's a big clash of heads between Dover's Iam Simpemba and Town's Tim Sills on halfway.
SUBSTITUTION - Basingstoke Town - Stefan Brown on for Jordace Holder-Spooner
SUBSTITUTION - Dover Athletic - Callum Willock on for Ben May
SUBSTITUTION - Basingstoke Town - Callum McNish on for Stuart Lake
Lake has been off the field for a number of minutes after receiving a blow to the nose and he eventually has to be replaced.
DOUBLE SUBSTITUTION - Dover Athletic - Jamie Smith and Dean Rance on for Daryl McMahon and Billy Bricknell.
That's more good work by Ashley Bayes, who collects a low cross at his near post.
That's a great save from Ashley Bayes to prevent Jay Gasson scoring an own-goal with a flick from a right-wing cross. The 'keeper was at full stretch to push it wide.
YELLOW CARD - Dover Athletic - Tom Wynter
Wynter catches Douglas Bergqvist late and is booked.
Shaun McAuley crosses from the right and Tim Sills' header is not too far wide. It was a tough chance from a looping cross.
Delano Sam-Yorke almost puts Jordace Holder-Spooner through but the pass is just too heavy.
The resulting free-kick from Darryl McMahon almost curls in the top corner but in the end it's well wide.
YELLOW CARD - Basingstoke Town - Matt Warner
Ricky Modeste gets the better of Warner down the Town left and the Basingstoke man trips him, earning a yellow card.
That's a great save by Dover 'keeper Mitch Walker, who does brilliantly to claw out Jay Gasson's powerful header from a corner.
That's another big chance wasted. Jordace Holder-Spooner and Delano Sam-Yorke link up down the left, with the former pulling the ball back for Tim Sills at the near post - but he can only shoot wide.
KICK-OFF - Dover get the game restarted. Town have the wind behind them in this second half.
Come on lads we can get back into this ... Keep the faith #btfc

HALF-TIME - Basingstoke Town 0 Dover Athletic 1
An entertaining and open first half. Town have looked shaky at the back and conceded a bad goal but have otherwise been the better side.
Once again though, they are failing to take their chances.
The good news - it's much better than last week. The bad news - these are the sort of games Town have a bad habit of losing.
Great play by Tim Sills gives Delano Sam-Yorke the chance to fire in an angled drive. Mitch Walker makes the save but fails to hold and it takes excellent blocks to deny first Jordace Holder-Spooner and then Delano Sam-Yorke levelling the scores.
Delano Sam-Yorke does well on the right side of the area but is eventually crowded out, with the home fans' cries for a penalty again failing to move referee Wayne Porter.
That's another clear chance. A couple of Dover defenders miss Matt Warner's low cross and Shaun McAuley is unopposed in the area. He really should score but shoots straight at Mitch Walker.
Town seem to have pushed Delano Sam-Yorke and Jordace Holder-Spooner out wide and Sam-Yorke puts in a cross that Shaun McAuley can only head narrowly wide under pressure. A decent opening.
That's a lucky escape for the hosts. A simple flick from Ben May catches Douglas Bergqvist attempting to play offside and Billy Bricknell was in the clear, but Ashley Bayes was out quickly to clear the danger.
That's a clear chance for Tim Sills. The ball was headed on and Mitch Walker dropped the ball under pressure from Shaun McAuley. It broke for Sills 15 yards out but the striker blasted well over with the 'keeper out of position.
Delano Sam-Yorke does well to win the ball back and it breaks for Shaun McAuley, but his shot from 25 yards is too close to Mitch Walker.
A great pass from Darryl McMahon puts Chris Sessegnon away down the right - but he blasts a shot wastefully over when he should have passed.
It's an open game at the moment and Jordace Holder-Spooner's low cross is just missed by Delano Sam-Yorke at the near post - with Town's shouts of handball against Danny Webb waved away.
That was a decidedly sticky couple of minutes for the hosts defensively. There were a couple of scrambles, with Ben May almost forcing the ball home during one - but they finally managed to clear.
That's a decent corner from Shaun McAuley. Douglas Bergqvist heads the ball back across goal but there is nobody there to touch it in.
Billy Bricknell dances past two men before firing in an angled shot that Ashley Bayes does well to palm away.
It looks like the formation is 4-3-3, with Shaun McAuley, Wes Daly and Stuart Lake the midfield three.
GOAL - Basingstoke Town 0 Dover Athletic 1 (May 4)
Oh dear. That's another sloppy goal conceded by Town and they're on the back foot already.
The hosts fail to deal with a long ball into the area from a free-kick and the ball breaks for Ben May. Town are appealling for either handball or offside but are given nothing and May fires home from 10 yards.
Barry Cogan almost gets a clear sight of goal but Rob Rice does well to get the ball behind for a corner.
The hosts have the first shot on goal as Matt Warner feeds Jordace Holder-Spooner and his effort from a tight angle forces Dover 'keeper Mitch Walker into a low save.
KICK-OFF - Town get the game under way. They are shooting down the slope towards the Town End in the first half, with the wind against them.
The players emerge onto the field on a cold and breezy afternoon.
Have your say on the game by using the comment box at the bottom of the page or #btfc on Twitter.
TEAM NEWS - Town manager Jason Bristow has made three changes to the side that under-performed so badly at Weston.
Matt Warner returns after missing that game due to work commitments, Stuart Lake is back after more than a month out with a broken toe and Jordace Holder-Spooner is recalled to the starting line-up. They replace Nathan Campbell, Callum McNish and Nathan Smart, who isn't even on the bench.
I'm not sure what the formation is yet. It could be 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 or even 4-4-2. I'll let you know when the game starts.
Dover name a strong side featuring former Eastleigh and Farnborough man Daryl McMahon, while Callum Willock, who starred for Ebbsfleet when they were promoted from this league a couple of years ago, is only on the bench.
Town: Bayes, Rice, Warner, Bergqvist, Gasson, Lake, Daly, McAuley, Sills, Sam-Yorke, Holder-Spooner. Subs: Brown, Campbell, Dunn, McNish, Paterson.
Dover: Walker, Sessegnon, Wynter, Thomson, Simpemba, Webb, Modeste, McMahon, May, Bricknell, Cogan. Subs: Huke, Smith, Rance, Willock, Hook.
Good afternoon and welcome to live updates from the Camrose, where Basingstoke Town are hosting Dover Athletic in the Blue Square Bet South.
Let's hope we have a better afternoon than last week, when Town were beaten 5-2 at Weston-super-Mare. They could really do with three points today or the gap will begin to grow between them and the top five.

LAURINBURG - A Maxton man died this week in a Charlotte hospital from injuries he received Sunday when his bicycle was hit by a vehicle on N.C. 71, the Highway Patrol said.
The wreck happened at 11:35 a.m. about a mile north of Maxton, according to a report filed by Trooper C.L. Pridgen.
The bicyclist, Bobby Ray Hunt, 56, of 67 Modest Road, was traveling south on N.C. 71 when he was hit from behind by a 2013 Chevrolet driven by Johnny Bullard, 65, of the 800 block of Old Lumberton Road in Laurinburg.
The impact knocked Hunt off the bicycle and into the windshield of Bullard's vehicle. Hunt landed on the roadway, the report said.
Hunt was taken to Scotland Memorial Hospital in Laurinburg, and later transferred to Charlotte, a Highway Patrol spokeswoman said.
Bullard was charged with misdemeanor death by motor vehicle, the report said.

We are using the LM95234 and are seeing errors on reads of the Common Status Register over I2C. As a test case, we set up the Command Byte to be 0x02 and repeatedly read the Command Status Register. For successful reads, we get 0x01 returned from the Common Status Register. About once every 100k reads, we get 0XFF returned from the read from the Command Status Register, but we have not seen this problem with any other Registers in the chip.
A couple of questions:
1. Are there any known issues/errata with reading the Command Status Register reliably?
2. What does the Busy bit exactly mean in the Command Status Register? Is the Busy bit just used for polling to know when a conversion is completed or does it indicate anything else?
Hi Kenneth,
What do you mean by "Command Byte"? Are you writing to the Main Configuration Register at address 0x03 the value 0x02?
Please let me know the value of the other registers:
What values do you get back from Status Registers 1-4 at addresses 0x07 through 0x0A?
To answer your questions:
1. None that I know of for Common Status Register at 0x02 (I don't know what you mean by Command Status Register).
2. The busy bit in the Common Status Register reports when the device is converting. It can be used along with the one shot mode to see when the conversion has completed. You can pole it continuously, I am surprised you don't get other values from this register. If you are reading 0x01 that means that you have an error flag set in STATUS register 1 (Diode Fault Register). Are all the diode inputs connected?
Note: reading 0xFFh usually means that the communication was not successful and that you are just read a the bus default state of all '1's. Are you validating that the device has ACK'd the slave address? Perhaps that's where the problem lies.
Take care,
EmmyPrecision Systems ApplicationsTexas Instruments SVA
Temperature ApplicationsIntegrated Signal Chain Texas Instruments
The following settings are used in other registers:
Conversion Rate (0x04) is set to 0x01 = 0.364 seconds
Conversion Enable (0x05) is set to 0x03
Diode Model Select (0x30) is set to 0x0E
Filter Settings are never Changed from defaults
Register 0x40 WB_TEMP_LOCAL_TCRIT_LIM_REG is set to 0x85 Register 0x41 WB_TEMP_REM1_TCRIT1_LIM_REG is set to 0x65 Register 0x49 WB_TEMP_REM1_TCRIT2_3_LIM_REG is set to 0x85 Register/ 0x0C WB_TEMP_TCRIT1_MASK_REG is set to 0x1D Register 0x0D WB_TEMP_TCRIT2_MASK_REG is set to 0x1D Register 0x0E WB_TEMP_TCRIT3_MASK_REG is set to 0x1ERegister 0x5A WB_TEMP_TCRIT_HYST_REG is set to 0x05
We are seeing an Ack from a Slave device when the read request is sent. See the attached Scope trace.
The LSB of the temperatures are never read
Can you also please let us know how many 0xFF in a row you get?
In addition can you set the conversion rate register to continuous and tell us what happens?
Yes, we were writing the the Main Configuration Register at address 0x03 the value of 0x02.
We are only seeing isolated instances of the 0xFF and on succeeding reads it returns to reading 0x01 as it should.
I will work with the team to set the conversion rate register to continuous on Monday. Right now, we are away from the hardware.
Are there evaluation boards of the LM95234 available where the chip could be tested in isolation? We have the chip down on two different boards in our system and a fairly extensive I2C network and it is the only chip where we are seeing problems with I2C reads.
I will try to see if I can get an eval board to you. Do you have a local FAE that you usually work with. I can contact him for you to get one out to you.
BTW if you haven't made it to the lab yet, is there any way you can zoom in on a clock period as it looks like your clock rise times are really slow. Even though we have shcmidtt trigger inupts there are limitations on the rise and fall time they can handle. It's hard to tell from the scope photo you sent but you should allso check to see if any of the falling edges are marginal. That is see if the data changes state when the clock is high, as the chip would recognize this as a false start in the middle of a communication and restart searching for the device address then get off the bus with a NACK, thus you would read 0xFF. It could take 100ns overalp in the wrong direction for the chip to recognize a false start or stop.
Take care
I have conversed with one of your colleagues about this issue off line and it is now solved.

these bitches rocked my young generation & this is the long version, probably never heard by you twerps.
Loved the Monkees TV show. Mickey Dolenz was the man
no music?
I hate being bipolar, its awesome.
The first music I remember was the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. I won't post the video because everyone has seen it a billion times.
By the way, I love The Monkees too but Beatles>Monkees by a mile.
I loved the Monkees but my first musical memory is my older brother playing Yellow Submarine on a shitty little plastic portable record player. I still have the album (Revolver), first US pressing.
For some reason I always remember a story where she was gonna be in a movie with some young actor, I forget who, and the movie had sex scenes. It might even be the one those stills are from (?). Anyway, the hot part is before production started SHE was all like: "We should start fucking so it won't be awkward when we do that scene......"

They are going to squeeze every dime they can out of Twilight and Rob for that matter. He should get some residuals for his face being on everything!

How about some Edward CHristmas cards.
This website is for handmade items and there are some gorgeous things on it but I think (my opinion) that it may be a wee bit illegal to use these images on cards for sale.:-? - December 8, 2008 at 2:16 PM

Totally good for a laugh. You know he is cringing about all of this! Can you imagine having your face on a Christmas stocking? I would be mortified. Hopefully he is seeing some $$$'s from all of this craziness.

Is anyone else getting a little bit annoyed at all this merchandising? I mean, I know Summit is targeting tweens, but it's just making the whole thing seem so "queso" (to quote Lynn).
Even though the books were published as part of a YA imprint, they certainly aren't cheesy. The whole thing is just starting to feel "yucky".

I could spray some anti fog on the clear glass door so when he's standing with his bum toward us and he's washing his hair, we could see him.
He has his head up with the water running over his head down his back and across his ass, down the back of his legs to his toes and we could peek hide in my loo it's seperate and cram in there and all of us line behind my loo door.
I have like one of those spa bathrooms where the toilet is not in the bathroom because I didn't want a toilet in there with my seperate shower and then seperate whirlpool tub, so I could sneak us so easily past him into the loo.
Sorry, daydream fantasy, I think I'll be a good girl now and go write.

I love that little guy and he uses the word FIERCE a lot?
That's how I think we all feel about Rob, like don't mess with him and screw him over.
We're fierce when it comes to Rob.
Always do your research first before you sign up for a project.
Google it, wiki it, go to the freakin' bookshop, whatever it takes, know what you're getting into.
