"I'm excited to share my cover of

!," Kardashian wrote on her blog Wednesday. "Hia is the leading luxury lifestyle magazine for Arab women and I'm honored to be on the cover. This shoot was so different from any I have done before and I'm so pleased with how the cover turned out. I got to wear some incredible high glamour creations by grand couturier

Something about this doesn't ring true. Radar Online reported that
Rachel Weisz
is having some trouble with just how popular starring in the James Bond franchise has made her husband
Daniel Craig
A source said: "Daniel's popularity has soared since playing James Bond and he's often asked by fans for a picture. He is very aware of the duties of playing such a famous character and always stops to give fans what they want. He never shirks his responsibilities. But Rachel often gets frozen out, she gets pushed aside while they pose next to Daniel or, even worse, is asked to take the picture herself! She just can't understand it. Rachel's won an Oscar, but that's not as impressive as getting snapped with James Bond. In one instance, Rachel had to tear Daniel away from a horde of fans asking them, 'Can I have my husband back?' When she married Daniel, she didn't expect to be getting James Bond as well!"
She's an actress and has been in the business long enough to know how things work. Do you believe this story?

The Interview!
Want to go for a bike ride? After years of saying "no" whenever asked about doping,
Lance Armstrong
began his confessional interview with
Oprah Winfrey
by repeating the word "yes" in response to a series of direct questions addressing his use of performance-enhancing drugs during his cycling career.
Did you ever take banned substances to enhance your cycling performance?
Was one of those banned substances EPO?
Did you ever blood dope or use blood transfusions to enhance your cycling performance?
Did you ever use any other banned substances like testosterone, cortisone or human growth hormone.
In all seven of your Tour de France victories did you ever take banned substances or blood dope?
Formerly one of the most respected athletes in the world for his unprecedented cycling success, personal battle with cancer and charitable work with Livestrong, Armstrong arrived for this interview without titles, estranged from his famous foundation, and with a tarnished reputation. In the aftermath of a voluminous report by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency in October 2012, Armstrong was formally stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and banned from elite competition. In that damning report, USADA chief executive
Travis Tygart
implicated Armstrong in "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen."
While Armstrong refuted Tygart's claim that his doping was more aggressive than the rest of the "EPO generation," he did candidly admit to cheating for the first time after years of denials.
"I don't know that I have a great answer," Armstrong said when asked why he was coming clean at this point. "I will start my answer by saying that this is too late. It's too late for probably most people and that's my fault. I view this situation as one big lie -- that I repeated a lot of times."
Describing how he ingested PEDs without regret or moral qualm, Armstrong explained that he thought his doping regime was just another facet of his preparation, "like saying we have to have air in our tires or water in our bottles."
Regardless of his motivation, Armstrong's confession and stated contrition is huge reversal after years of vehement denials whenever faced with doping allegations. In a typically defiant move, the 41-year-old Texan tweeted an image of himself lounging at his home in Austin just weeks after the USADA report. Quite visible in the background of the photograph were the seven yellow jerseys that he had won in the Tour de France.
"It's a major flaw and it's a guy who expected to get whatever he wanted and to control every outcome and it's inexcusable," Armstrong told Winfrey, when asked about the aggressive way he bullied those who publicly challenged him with the truth of his own doping.
Winfrey replayed video of a handful of Armstrong's most strident doping denials over the years and walked him through relationships that had been savaged by the ferocity of his deception.
"I was a bully in the sense that I tried to control the narrative," Armstrong conceded. "And if I didn't like what somebody said, for whatever reasons in my own head -- whether I viewed that as somebody being disloyal a friend turning on you or whatever -- I tried to control that and said, 'That's a lie. They are liars.'"
Of course, the USADA revelations as well as his subsequent confession have proven Armstrong to the be the liar. But, for the first time in a long time, Armstrong seemed to finally be telling the truth.
But will it be enough? Armstrong claimed he was committed to earning back trust.
"I'll spend the rest of my life trying to earn back trust and trying to apologize to people…for the rest of my life"
People have short memories. Will he make a comeback in the public eye?
"Dodgeball' and 'You, Me, & Dupree' are also tarnished.

He's Back!
The next long-rumoured instalment in the
franchise has moved a step closer to fruition with the news that a new script is currently in the works.
Laeta Kalodgris
Patrick Lussier
have been hired by Skydance Pictures to pen a new script, details of which remain clamped firmly under wraps.
David Ellison
recently joined the project to co-produce alongside his sister Megan, and it seems now as though serious steps are being taken towards making this one happen.
Whether or not Arnie will be involved in any capacity remains to be seen, but
Megan Ellison
has confirmed that the picture will be R-rated, which should go some way to appeasing fans.
A new
film: Yay or Nay?
What about a
Jingle All the Way
Megan Fox VS Lindsay Lohan!
Megan Fox
. She is sick and tired of being a Hollywood bombshell. So she posed in lingerie for the new issue of
to tell us about it.
"I felt powerless in that image," Fox explains of her roles in movies such as
. "I didn't feel powerful. It ate every other part of my personality, not for me but for how people saw me, because there was nothing else to see or know. That devalued me. Because I wasn't anything. I was an image. I was a picture. I was a pose."
The actress has started to take on funnier characters in comedies like
This Is 40
Friends with Kids
, which is the direction she hopes to stay in. She doesn't want to turn out to be just another sexy star, like her
Marilyn Monroe
. Fox removed her tattoo of the icon because she feels Monroe is no longer the right kind of role model.
Here's where it gets good.
"I started reading about her and realized that her life was incredibly difficult. It's like when you visualize something for your future. I didn't want to visualize something so negative," Fox told
, comparing Monroe to troubled actress
Lindsay Lohan
. "She wasn't powerful at the time. She was sort of like Lindsay," Fox continues. "She was an actress who wasn't reliable, who almost wasn't insurable ... She had all the potential in the world, and it was squandered," she says, "I'm not interested in following in those footsteps."
In reference to her Lohan comment, Megan took to her Facebook page to share:
"In the newly released article that I did for Esquire, there is a reference that is made to Lindsay Lohan that I would like to clarify before it snowballs into something silly. The journalist and I were discussing why I was removing my Marilyn Monroe tattoo, especially since in his opinion, Marilyn was such a powerful and iconic figure for women. I attempted to draw parallels between Lindsay and Marilyn in order to illustrate my point that while Marilyn may be an icon now, sadly she was not respected and taken seriously while she was still living. Both women were gifted actresses, whose natural talent was lost amongst the chaos and incessant media scrutiny surrounding their lifestyles and their difficulties adhering to studio schedules etc. I intended for this to be a factual comparison of two women with similar experiences in Hollywood. Unfortunately it turned into me offering up what is really much more of an uneducated opinion. It was most definitely not my intention to criticize or degrade Lindsay. I would never want her to feel bullied, as she does not deserve that. I was not always speaking eloquently during this interview and this miscommunication is my fault."
I smell Hollywood drama!
I'm not even going to waste time doing a VS with her and Lohan.
What's the VIDEO BUZZ?
Just what you were waiting for!
Perez Hilton
has posted a video from
Piers Morgan Tonight
in which
Charlie Sheen
appears to talk about
Lance Armstrong's
legacy and the debate on assault weapons.
Sheen admits that he collected guns and shot at targets in his basement at one point. He said that after his domestic incident he was forced to give up the weapons but he doesn't miss them. He also dares the NRA to look at a Sandy Hook victim's parents in the eye and explain why people should have the deadly assault weapons that killed their child.

Here is one of Spawn teleporting to hell, or maybe Starbucks? who knows.
These are both really good. The second one is especially good, specifically the color and texture. The only criticism would be that the figure is slightly off center, but not far enough off center to really look intentional. Otherwise, good job!
Thanks for the feedback Redflags. I see what you mean with the spawn image. Unfortunately I drew it like that and didn't notice it was off center till i was done with the digital editing. I figured it was a good edit so decided to upload it. thanks for the critique, i'll see if I can fix that spawn piece and upload a better version thanks again!
The posing in both of these is very static and more than a bit awkward. In fact, neither actually look like they're doing anything, just being displayed against a surface with a few effects applied to them.
Do you do much in the line of gesture studies? If not, that would help a lot, as would making a conscious effort to have overlapping elements, 3/4 views where possible, and background elements.

INDIAN RIVER COUTNY -- The CASTLE headquarters in Vero Beach provided the setting Jan. 8 for the annual meeting of the Indian River Community Foundation during which the board of directors elected a new slate of officers to guide the organization.
Bob Puff, vice president of Sands Capital Management, was elected to his first term as chairman of foundation, which now holds nearly $18 million in assets all designated for charitable purposes.
Scott Alexander, president of Northern Trust, will serve as vice chairman, alongside Lois Appleby, secretary and Ted Michael, treasurer. Bill Frick will serve as an at-large member of the executive committee, with Becky Allen filling the role of immediate past chairwoman.
The Indian River Community Foundation is a nonprofit organization that improves the community through donor-driven philanthropy. The majority of the foundation's assets are held in donor-advised funds, from which fund holders recommend grants to any nonprofit organization. The foundation awarded 533 grants totaling more than $3 million in 2012.
During the annual meeting, Teresa Garbarino-May, CASTLE's executive director and Doug Borrie, director of operations, made a presentation about how CASTLE fulfills its mission to improve the quality of family life and prevent child abuse and neglect throughout the Treasure Coast.
"CASTLE is among the many nonprofit organizations which have received grants from the Indian River Community Foundation over the past few years," said Ms. Allen, outgoing chairwoman. "It was gratifying for our board members to visit the organization and hear firsthand how their work is changing the lives of so many children and families in our community."
Board member Buzz Wurzer also received special recognition during the meeting. Mr. Wurzer has led the marketing efforts of the foundation for several years.
Ms. Allen called Mr. Wurzer an "unsung hero" and applauded his unrelenting focus on finding new ways to rally philanthropists and nonprofit leaders around common interests to improve our community.
The new officers will lead the 15-member board of directors, which is also comprised of Ben Bailey, Drew Barton, Paul Becker, Kevin Given, Alma Lee Loy, Rick McDermott, Bob Morrison, Andrea Thurn and Mr. Wurzer.

Chapter One-
The time was 6:45
So there I was. Kneeling on the floor like a pathetic, useless piece of nothingness. I was trying to imagine what my ceiling fan was seeing right now. Of course I should be focusing on the more important thing, but I couldn't. I just couldn't. How could I bare the thought of what I was about to face? Or better yet, how would Edward take the news that-
It doesn't matter, I told myself. I focused on the spinning ceiling fan. As it whirled around in the same daily circles at the same pace, never having to face problems or worry about what tomorrow will be like… it watched things. I had always thought of fans as watchers. A cruel lifeless soul, the fan had a full view of the area surrounding it. Silently judging. They can't speak, and they can't make their own choices, so all it can do, is just keep its place at the top of my room and watch. Listen to the numerous phone calls I made, to all those stressful, homework-overloaded nights, and even to the smallest of snores as I slept.
It was always watching as I checked emails, got dressed, starred out the window, and most of all, it watched me at nights. Those precious moments where I sat there, in my bed alone, waiting, then, he would be there. As if I ever deserved him, or as if I was worth his time, no matter what I did or said, and even if I was already asleep, he would always give up his night and come to me. He was so wonderful. The fan had watched all of those nights that I sat in bed with what I didn't deserve. And now he would leave. After today, there would be no more.
Fan, I reminded myself for what seemed like the thousandth time. The fan was always there. It watched my life and knew what happened. Sure the fan didn't have eyes or ears or even a life, but it was like a live object. It gave me fresh air, and did things at my command, just by hitting a light switch. The fan was like my personal slave; it listened to everything quietly, as it moved swiftly.
I breathed in a big breath, hoping the air would cool me down enough so that I could stop sweating, but that was not going to happen. I had experienced so much in my life. Deaths, evil vampires, betrayal, and pain... pain. So much pain. But nothing was like this. I hadn't even talked to Edward, yet I was already stressing as if he were here now. He said he'd be here in ten minutes, but he probably heard my stress through the phone and decided to run here rather than drive. He was always over protective. Always worried and concerned for me. He never stopped paying attention when I told him about my same, casual day. He cared so much.
So why did I have to get in a truck, and drive into it all, knocking it down to it's very foundation, never to be rebuilt again?
I swallowed. I'm not going to cry... I'm not going to cry... I'm not going t- I checked my watch. It read 6:48. Edward had to be here by now. Our call was exactly seven minutes and 35 seconds ago... But I didn't want him to get here. I wanted him to decide he could get someone better than me, run off never to be found, and never speak to me again. Losing him like that would be so much easier than what the future held. I kept imagining he wouldn't show up, for whatever reason, but I knew he would. He always did.
6:50 Time was going by faster. The fan was spinning faster. It kept going and going, it was so fast.... A small squeak left my voice. I said not to cry! Don't cry, whatever you do! I gulped down a bunch of air, still not helping. It had to be ten minutes by now. Maybe he's no-
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see someone standing right at my door. As I lie on the bed, looking up at the fan, that stupid, judgmental fan, I noticed the dark black shape of a human. Though it wasn't a human. It was a perfect wonderful, beautiful person. The next second, he was there, beside me. Laying on the bed with me, cradling me in his perfect, sturdy arms.
Suddenly I let out a small cry. No, no crying… Luckily. I was able to keep the tears in my eyes. I was surprised at that. I could never hold back tears. If only Edward hadn't heard the squeak in my voice… maybe he won't know I'm sad, and maybe I will be able to stall long enough… Long enough to get one last amazing moment from him…
"Bella?" Edward asked, his voice was clearly pained. He had that little croak in his voice, something usually only humans experienced. It was as if he were in so much pain, that he had to let some of it out with his voice. And sure enough, it was coming out. I hated that sound; the sound of him unhappy. Quite frankly, it made me unhappy, knowing Edward was not comfortable with the current situation. What pained me even more was the realization that I had, and would cause this pain that made his voice the way it was. It took me a second to arrive back in reality, and realize that he had said something else. What had he said?
"I'm sorry, what?" I asked. I froze. That sounded rude, didn't it? Great. I was already going to upset him- no, piss him off was more like it. Now I sounded like I had a smart attitude? Luckily, Edward didn't seem to take notice.
"Why are you crying, love?" he asked. He held his right arm around the small of my back, holding me up I realized. His left arm was stroking the lose pieces of hair that had managed to escape my ponytail. Wait- crying? What did he mean? I wasn't crying! I'm doing a good job of-
I pressed my skinny pale fingers to my cheek. It was right under my eye that I felt wet drips of water, emptying them selves from my eye. Another way for pain to escape the body- through little drops of salty liquid.
I quickly wiped my eye, but what use was it? He had already noticed my crying.
"Bella!" he said, quietly, yet anxiously. It was killing him. Oh just tell him already!
"Edward…" I searched his eyes. They were a dark golden, a deep color that had no name. He needed to hunt. He needed the very thing that kept him both at peace, and slightly satisfied: blood. That was the thing that marked the very boundary between being human or vampire. I couldn't stand it, the love in his eyes. But I needed to tell him.
He reached up, catching a tear with the tip of his index finger. He then let his hand go back to my hair, but made a different decision and placed his hand around my face. Holding me there, not letting me go. How I would miss this…
"Edward" I said, and pulled my face away from him. He looked at me, very silent, ready to listen. I took one last chance at a big breath, hoping it would work this time. Instead I felt a sharp pain in my dry throat. I ignored it and looked into Edward's eyes once more. "I need to tell you… Okay first just listen. I did something… something I should have told you about a long time ago. But I didn't, and I'm terrible for that. I can never be forgiven-"
"Bella, don't be ludicrous. Whatever it is, I'm positive it will be okay. I won't be mad-"
"Oh but you will." I said quickly. I could feel the pain in my eyes, and knew Edward could see it. Was he really in pain, or was the pain in my eyes reflecting off his eyes, just to confuse me? He looked bewildered at what I said.
"What could you have possibly done, that cannot be forgiven?" he challenged. "I've done enough wrong in my life to you, that you've forgiven and shouldn't have. I'm sure that whatever you did, it's not that-"
"Just listen." I whispered, simply because if I let my voice grow any louder than a whisper, he would hear the distress. My voice would probably crack and never work again.
"Edward I…" Oh. My. God. How was I to say this? I couldn't identify whether or not this was more awkward than it was terrifying. Would he get angry? I knew the answer to that, prior to finding out.
Yes. But how mad would he get? Would he curse and spit at me, until I cried in shame? Would he hit me or throw some of the items lurking around in my room? What if he tore the fan out of the wall? Suddenly I liked the fans presence, and hoped it stayed intact in the wall.
You're being ridiculous. My conscious whispered to me. Something only I could hear, since Edward had some mystery problem with hearing my thoughts. So I was being ridiculous… or was I? What if he really did become as angry as my thoughts had allowed me to picture, or even worse than that? What if…
I made myself drop the thought before it even processed into a thought. Edward was still waiting for me. I couldn't leave him waiting anxiously, wondering what it was I was about to say. After all I had done… he deserved to know. But could there have been a better way? Could I have done something differently or went someplace better to tell him. For Gods sake, tell him already!! NOW!!!
"Edward I'm pregnant." I said. I gasped. Had I just said it?
Yes. I got it out. The words that had been resting on the very tip of my dried tongue took a leap, and landed right out in the open. Right there for everyone to hear and see. Edward just looked confused.
"But Bella." he said. I knew how he was going to finish this sentence. I had played this conversation out a million times in my head, and I knew Edward best. This was exactly the way I thought it would go, and I was right. But for a reason I didn't want to think, I knew it was not a good thing in this case, that I knew Edward so much.
"Bella we never-"
"I know Edward… I know." I spoke softly. Here it comes… the grand finally. The moment, we've all been dreading. I could hear the terrible music playing over and over in my head, taunting me. It was as if the music was saying ha ha time to talk! Why didn't the music have a stop button?
Another breath. The final attempt at what little comfort I could possibly get from filling my lungs with air. It just wouldn't do it. "Edward…"
"Bella sweetheart, we never… Bella there must be some mistake." He laughed, but it wasn't a laugh. I had no name for the noise that sounded like a laugh, but wasn't one.
"Edward we never did anything…" gulp "But me and Jacob did…"
I stared into his eyes and saw the most amazing thing. What had seemed like his regular eyes just seconds ago, was nothing compared to what they had turned into, just now. In a split second, I watched his eyes change from an aged gold, right to a jet black. That quick, as if my one, stupid little sentence had drained all energy that remained within him. His eyes…
Oh, How I was going to miss those eyes…

I've always wondered what happens to us once our bodies aren't strong enough to keep us in this thing called life.
Is there really a heaven to celebrate in? Do we roam the earth as tireless ghosts, sighing as we watch our loved ones move on without us? Or do we go nowhere. Are our bodies the only thing that connects us to life? Is there nothing else, no more thoughts or memories or words of love once our bodies can no longer do so?
It scares me really. Even having been so close to death, I'd never actually taken the time to think about that moment when you feel yourself detach from your body. That moment when your brain stops comprehending things, and you feel that you are falling asleep.
But it's not sleep. Sleep isn't permanent. Sleep isn't so scary and sleep isn't what's happening to me right now. Sleep... isn't this painful.
But then again... sleep isn't this peaceful either...

Chapter 26-
I was slightly excited, the thought of going to Molly suddenly thrilling to me. I wanted to get to know her, I wanted to get a closer look at her eyes, I wanted t-
Beth growled from behind me, and I saw a deep anger in her eyes when I turned around. I looked at the ground, suddenly embarrassed that my thoughts about the new wolf were heard by all. Beth and I had so much together and now it was all being dumped for an imprint…
But it wasn't just an imprint. I cared for this new wolf, even if she never desired me in the way that Beth and I… I let the thought go quickly, hoping she hadn't heard it, but I knew she had.
Beth scoffed, suddenly shocked at what I had thought. She growled furiously and began to walk toward the forest, away from the field. I didn't want to tell her what to do, but I needed to keep everyone near with our enemies so close…
Saving me yet another moment of awkwardness, Daisy went to Beth and nudged her lightly. Beth, we have to stay-
Beth whipped around and growled threateningly in Daisy's face, her eyes looking nothing like the way they were as a human. I was absolutely appalled that it was Beth under the wolf's skin. If not for her thoughts, I wouldn't have believed it.
After snapping at Daisy, Beth ran off into the woods, ignoring anything else she was told. For once, Daisy didn't mock my leadership, but instead chased after Beth into the woods. I wasn't too worried since the Volturi had left from the other side of the woods, they were probably long gone by now. ' I turned back to the wolf… her. I was distracted immediately by the beauty in her eyes and forgot completely what I was thinking about before.
I watched as she thought quietly to a close friend of hers named Seugnet. They talked quietly about their worries and how crazy the experience it was, being a wolf. She turned to me, knowing I was thinking of her, and we were both suddenly embarrassed, turning away immediately.
Her friend giggled quietly to her. He's cute. You're lucky. Seugnet thought, laughing. The wolf with beautiful eyes ignored her and stood up. My feet locked the second I realized she was heading toward me. I tried to focus on standing tall like a leader should, but it took all I had, and it still wasn't a very good posture.
I'm Molly. She smiled, remembering key points from a conversation she's had just minutes before with Seugnet. I saw her friend encouraging her to speak with me, and to not to be nervous. It calmed me slightly that I wasn't the only one afraid.
Ryan. I smiled, trying to remember 'girl tips' Sam had given me years ago. None of them did any justice for me, and I was even more embarrassed thinking about them where others could hear.
That's a pretty name… I said awkwardly and regretted it immediately. Petty name? What kind of comment was that?
But to my utter surprise, she simply giggled at my comment. She sat down beside me comfortably and made me feel quite comfortable myself.
This must be hard work, trying to keep everyone tame… she commented, watching as Quil stared evilly at Carlisle from across the field. Carlisle was finished helping Brandon's leg, but Quil was still angry about it. I was briefly comforted as I watched Brandon already up and messing around perfectly on his leg again. This was a strong pack…
It's not an easy task. I laughed, and she laughed too.
"But I can't see them!" Alice, the annoying future seeing one suddenly perked up from the eats side. Molly and I both turned to see her, doubt and worry splashed all over her face. It reminded me of when she first told me the Volturi were coming here.
"Don't worry, Alice." Her mate said, holding her hand as he looked to Edward. "You're just tired, it will come back." He said confidently and continued with a different conversation with Edward.
But Alice did not let it go. "But Jasper, they're up to something!" she squealed terribly. "I saw them! They were talking to something, but I couldn't see what! And then they all disappeared!" she fretted worriedly and sought encouragement from her mate, but didn't except it when he gave it to her.
"Alice, are you sure that's what you saw?" he asked, unbelieving. I realized he had a southern accent. Molly giggled quietly at his accent, and I smiled at her laugh.
"Yes!" she snapped back. Jasper just nodded and told her to keep a look out for them, and then turned back to Edward and the dark haired male, whom I think was named Emmett.
I turned back to Molly and rolled my eyes. They worry more than us because they don't have claws. I said and she barked laughter in response.
So what do you- but before she could finish her sentence, a deadly sounding howl came from the direction where Daisy and Beth had went just a minute ago.
Everyone, including all of the leeches turned to see what it was because it didn't sound good. My eyes widened in shock when I saw Daisy's cream coat sloshed in blood, limping with only one eye open.
I panted in shock, but forced myself to get it together immediately. Daisy, what has happened? I demanded.
Be… Beth… she thought, hardly able to contain proper thoughts. Beth… help… Daisy began to shiver and fell to the ground. Carlisle caught her immediately and began to check her leg. He set it back immediately, causing Daisy to whine terribly. I made all of us flinch, but I couldn't focus, not with what she had said.
Where's Beth? I demanded, but Daisy did not respond. Daisy! Where is Beth?
She raised her muzzle to me slowly and shook. They got her. She whimpered as she replayed an image of a Volturi member grabbing Beth and dragging her across the ground. I saw no image of her being killed, but I couldn't get my hopes up.
My legs began to shake then, purely in fury. How could they? The Volturi were terrible human beings and deserved to die brutally!
We have to kill them. I growled furiously and looked among the pack to see if anyone objected.
Daisy shook her head, shaking more now. No Ryan, don't! Please! You can't go! They have- Daisy's thoughts suddenly went black as she passed out and her head fell to the ground. I wondered briefly what it was she was about to say, but let it go. We had to kill the Volturi.
What if it's a trap? Embry wondered to me. Others nodded in agreement. They could be trying to lure u in like rats…
Seth was absolutely furious, Beth being his daughter. I say we fight! He growled at Embry, ignoring the possibilities of what could happen.
I looked around at the pack, waiting for my command. I turned then to the Cullen's that were being updated by Edward. Once he told them what had happened, he turned to me and nodded. I nodded back and turned back to the pack. I made sure my mind was open so that Cullen could hear me when I decided.
We could risk the trap and fight them, or we could run away like cowards and let them have Beth. I already knew what I wanted to do.
I lifted my head up to the suddenly darkening sky. We fight! I howled as loudly as I could, signaling to the Volturi that it was on.
omg they hav BETH!!!! nooooo! poor beth! i like molly ! poor daisy!
Sorry to upset you, they'll try to get her next chapter. :)
LOL, you used my name!
Are Brett and his pack working with or being held hostage by the Volturi or something? Is that what Daisy tried to warn them about? That would explain why Alice can't see them coming.
I hope Beth is okay!
Exciting chapter! Please update soon. I can't wait to see what happens!
Seugnet, your prediction is so similar to the next chapter that I'm just not going to say anything. LOL
you're really good at guessing. :)
I read between the lines.
Smart. lol I'll still try and make it surprising. :)
Amazing like always i loved it i cant wait to see what happens!!

Actor and comedian, Russell Brand, was pushed into a fountain by a prankster as he was filming a movie in London's Trafalgar Square. Read more on Russell Brand's little swim below.
Brand was performing a "drunken" dance routine when a passerby got past security and grabbed Brand by the throat and pushed him underwater.
Russell Brand recovered for about 30 minutes in a tent before reappearing. Brand, 34, said he was not pressing charges against the prankster.
A witness said: "It only took a nudge, but the bloke used a bit of force. Brand was completely underwater. I expect he will have some bruises."
Brand is playingthe role of rocker Aldous Snow (the character he played in Forgetting Sarah Marshall) in his movie "Get Him To The Greek" with Jonal Hill.
Russell later tweeted: "I am refreshed. It's not the first time I've frolicked in that wretched fluid."

The Dallas Cowboys had a great "moral" victory against the Denver Broncos' last Sunday. That being said it was still a loss for the Cowboys but that game should be a wake up call for them if they decide to answer the call.
Looking back at the Cowboys versus Denver game, the Cowboys offense has now proven to the fans and themselves that they can "run with the big dogs," meaning that Broncos' quarterback Peyton Manning, who is considered by many to be an elite quarterback, was matched toe to toe with Dallas' own quarterback, Tony Romo. Dallas' offense was on fire during the Broncos' game and clicked on all cylinders even without veteran wide receiver Miles Austin. Players like wide receivers Cole Beasley and rookie Terrance Williams stepped up when needed and made big plays.
The defense on the other hand left a lot to be desired. It took defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin some time to come out and say that the fans needed to stop blaming quarterback Tony Romo and start blaming his defense. For the second straight game, Dallas' defense was shredded by a veteran quarterback as both the secondary and defensive line gave up a lot of yardage and a lot of points. As most know, Kiffin's outlook on the defense is bend but don't break and well the last two weeks has been a break and it hasn't been pretty. However, with Monte Kiffin taking accountability for his defense and as smart as he is, changes for the defense will be on the horizon whether it's implementing his 4-3 scheme to fit the Cowboys defensive personnel or to utilize what personnel the Cowboys have and implement them into his original scheme. Changes will happen and the defense will be different when the Cowboys play division rival Washington Redskins on Sunday night.
With all that being said, the Cowboys need to expand off the Denver game and make a solid run. We now know they are capable of it, but we also know our beloved Cowboys are consistently inconsistent too. The Cowboys currently have Washington, Philadelphia, Detroit, Minnesota and New Orleans before heading into their bye week. If the Cowboys answer the wake up call given to them by the Broncos' and continues to rally on all cylinders and rally around their quarterback as they have thus far this season, Dallas should make a good run of it on the race to the playoffs.
Lucky for the Cowboys, their wake up call came earlier this season and the bye week later.

FOCUS - 2010 Political Analysis
On this special report of Focus, Kathy Lehr is joined by political analysts Dr. Gene Beaupre and Dr. Eric Rademacher who will discuss the political landscape locally, state-wide, and nationally.
Dr. Beaupre and Dr. Rademacher will explain why one of the big factors in the outcome for this election is ''who'' votes. Was there an Obama surge? If so, how important is that to all the Democratic candidates and will the governor's race at the top of the ticket draw voters out?
They will also rate the Obama Administration on how it has lived up to his campaign promises, as well as, address how the Tea Party's popularity might affect the upcoming elections.
Important Note: Neither Dr. Beaupre nor Dr. Rademacher are personally endorsing any specific candidate or issue. This discussion's purpose is to provide voters with a simple, unbiased interpretation of the political landscape.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WSAU) - There's a chance two brothers could be playing against each other in the next Packers and Vikings matchup.
Toby Gerhart is one of the Viking's running backs. He's starting his fourth season with Minnesota. Younger brother Garth Gerhart was undrafted, and is working out with the Packers. If Garth makes the team, they might have to face each other on the field.
They have met each other on the gridiron before. Toby played for Stanford and Garth played for Arizona State. Toby's Arizona team won two of the three meetings.
It's a sports oriented family. The football playing brothers also have three sisters who played college softball.

For many of you it took hours just to get home on Tuesday and you probably won't even try to venture out today. So how will you spend your snow day (or days) marooned at your house?
I think most families won't mind being without a car for a day or two as long as their electricity is working.
I always loved snow days growing up in Georgia. We would always go sledding on the big hill down the street. The whole neighborhood would show up to play. It was a fantastically long hill. Then we would come back home and my mom would dry us off. We would play board games and she would make us hot spice tea.
One friend shared this recipe for making snow cream or ice cream from the snow. The only trick is to make sure the snow is "fresh" and hasn't been peed on by any animals. Here are 20 ideas for playing in the snow with your kids. They have a really cute snow globe idea.
Jumping on snow-covered trampolines seemed to be a theme yesterday. I also heard about a lot of kind acts — such as people taking in other people's friends if they couldn't get home.
So now that you finally made it home, how will you spend your day marooned? Will you play outside or just recover by a fire with a book? Are you expected to be anywhere? Did you have anyone show you kindness or help you yesterday? Feel free to give a thank you shout out.

FYI…..I am not home, but stuck at work in a 18 story building made of glass. Absolutely freezing…….I hate snow, ice and cold weather. The ATL is not made for this kind of weather.

FYI….. There are many of us and on more than a few floors. Many are in local hotels, stores, etc….. I know because I tried to check into the Hilton next door and it's booked to capacity. The only hotel with vacancies was 4 miles away in this mess.

Yesterday I did noting except read and watch tv. Today I plan on cleaning the house. I'm not sure what I'll do Thrusday as it looks like there will be no major road clearing today. If my kids were still young I am sure I would be cooking and drying snow wet cloths.

Yesterday was a mess! I was heading home by 2:00 and did not have any trouble. Lucky I was in Gwinnett County, near where you used to live TWG..
When you have as many people as we do in Atlanta, with limited resources for snow removal, it is bound to happen.
I am certain that if the schools were to cancel and we got NO SNOW, there would be parents who would have pitched a fit. They would be left without childcare and had to stay home from work. Not sure what the correct answer would have been.
I cannot imagine being a teacher stuck at school with the children into the night. What a long day for them!

Once I get home, I will tell you. Slept on the conference room floor at my office. However, I had bathrooms, food, and warmth so I am not complaining.
MJG…my cousin in Michigan has been out on snow days for 4 days now…Lesson learned if they think it will hit ATL and she has school cancelled my kids are "sick" since the darn school system is stupid and so is the absentee policy!

Cobb has 4 days in Feb (2/13 – 2/18–yes that is 6 b/c of a weekend) off they could have called school Tues and Wed this week then announced school was in session any of those days…we would have been FINE! And for the those who had vacation plans…well you could just say your kid was sick…b/c the absentee policy is stupid and still go on vacation

@ FCM…I cannot imagine it. I do think it was worse ITP. I am so happy I was not in Cobb County and had to get home. I think it was worse on that side of town. I think I would have just stayed in a hotel. Makes me think I should just put a bag in my car with sweat pants, clean underwear, a t shirt, socks and shoes. I usually have some toiletries in a suitcase somewhere in the car.

MJG all the hotels are booked, we tried to get one. I have food (oatmeal in the drawer, some fruit I brought yesterday, water, coffee….BUT I am concerned about my kids (my neighbors have them but I don't want them to have them all day and tonight too!). I am hoping that maybe my mom can go get them around noon at the latest and the dog too. If she can get them to her house then I can make a plan for me.

It took 45 minutes to get from McGinnes Ferry in Suwanee up to GA20 in Buford.
Today, we plan on watching all the recorded shows on the DVR….I'm tired of the news, and would like a little entertainment today. My neighbor and I made a huge pot of chili Monday night, so we are enjoying that also.
Stay warm everyone. And stay off the roads, unless you are a policeman, EMS, etc. work will not collapse if YOU don't go in, I promise.

We live in Candler Park, which is zoned to Mary Lin Elementary, Inman Middle, and Grady High. I think Mary Lin and Grady did not have early dismissal but Inman Middle did and my son is a 7th grader there. My work closed offices at noon. I came home before it got bad and teleworked. I will be teleworking today, as well. But, my son spent all day sledding in Candler Park, on the hills of the golf course. I took my dog out for an evening walk around 10pm and people were still sledding.
It looks like people are making the most of it.
I will probably take a break from work at some point to walk down to Doc Bombay's to get coffee.
I have a feeling the kids will be out tomorrow, too, since temps aren't going to rise above freezing until tomorrow. Could be out until Friday.

I did read there are a handful of kids stranded at schools, but it seems the schools are doing a good job keeping them warm, feeding them, and giving them a place to sleep, etc.
I can imagine if you're stuck at work that's a real downer but if you have food then it's not completely miserable.
There are the people stranded on the roads since yesterday…they're the ones in actual danger.

Well before school buses ran yesterday morning the Atlanta metro area was under a winter weather warning. The school districts knew it was coming but chose to put a few hundred thousand kids at risk along with the school personnel. FCM pointed out that Cobb has days off in February, I would like to add that those are furlough days UNPAID days forced upon teachers because the school district can't manage money.
January 29th, 2014
9:49 am
We will continue to help my husband's co-workers who remain stranded. We're at home, online, finding passable routes for people still trying to get home. We will take some time to be grateful and talk about what to do in the event of a future snow situation. And we will enjoy being together, particularly because many families aren't.
January 29th, 2014
10:03 am
@ Cobbmom, I know they were UNPAID….but could we not have called school yesterday and and switched them out? It would NOT be a hardship in accounting I assure you since I work books
January 29th, 2014
10:03 am
ie….yesterday and today unpaid and called furlough and then the Feb days paid
January 29th, 2014
10:16 am
@ FCM and Cobbmom I agree, that they should not have had school yesterday, but there is another half to this coin. The parents did not have to send them. Everyone saw the same weather reports. You can't question the judgement of the schools without questioning the judgement of the thousands of parents who sent their kids there. I mean they could have kept their kids @ home and used whatever emergency daycare they use when school is unexpectedly cancelled. OR some of the parents could have taken sick or vacation days to stay home. There is a lot of blame to go around on this, but for parents don't forget to blame yourselves as well.
January 29th, 2014
10:28 am
Remember, those school personnel who spent the night to look after the kids did so on unpaid time. I'm sure that many would have done the same thing as it kinda goes with the territory of working with kids, but to those who complain about teachers please remember the dedication of those willing to spend their "off time" ensuring their students stay safe. I'm fortunate that my children's school system closed schools on Tuesday, and the school system where I work let kids off around 11:00. Staff was supposed to stay the rest of the school day, but my principal told us to go.
January 29th, 2014
10:31 am
WitchyWoman…the absentee schedule says that if they are absent 4 times then they come after the parents with the law…even if it is "excused" absence. Parents do not get to make decisions b/c of the $$$ being tied to attendance. It is totally wrong of the schools to do that!
January 29th, 2014
10:35 am
Who complained about a teacher? The teachers need more pay and did a great job….I want their BOSSES (at Supeintendents office) ASS.
January 29th, 2014
10:38 am
And SEE if your a teacher you should be ashamed you cannot read without inferring things! NOTHING was said about teachers but you and cobbmom assumed I was after teachers. My only problem with teachers is that get so darn defensive when you say ANYTHING about the darn schools. The problem in Cobb starts with Hinjosa….the only person on the Cobb Board with any sense is David Banks.

You people are arguing over the past; the only thing we can do now is to improve for the future.
I'm still stuck in the office, with no end in sight. Tried to leave but all the surface streets to I285 are sheets of ice. Now I have to pray no one hits my car.
The lesson I have learned from this is that the first sign of sleet, I'm out of here. No ifs and or buts.

Luckily, our school cancelled Tuesday and Wednesday. My boy played in the falling snow yesterday, and today we had a big breakfast together. We are now trying to catch up on some school projects and reading for school.
We are on the east side of Atlanta and do not have a huge amount of snow – probably only an inch, but the roads are icy.
January 29th, 2014
12:31 pm
Cherokee has switched furlough and snow days in the past, making the snow days into furlough days and furlough days into school days. Right now we have had four days of "snow days" for the students – two earlier in the month for the cold and today and tomorrow because of this mess.
January 29th, 2014
1:16 pm
Hopefully many parents whose kids were "trapped" at their schools overnight are spending today online looking for quality homeschool curricula. I would recommend Ron Paul's great program. Stop handing your kids over to folks who can't even pay attention to the weather reports and warnings.
January 29th, 2014
1:42 pm
@ Hidden…thanks for the laugh.
Teachers really have very little say in whether we have school or not.
Government officials will be in place with decision whether or not anyone home schools, unless I am missing something!
Many parents were dashing home from work ( to meet their children and be home) and this may have increased the traffic jam.
Would things change at all if 20,000 people quit their jobs? I am not an economist.
Truth: the traffic would be so much better ever other day.

@Witchy Woman 10:16am – My daughter already has more absences than usual – all legitimate (fever or throwing up, etc.) from the kids who come to school coughing and sneezing all over the place. I've always tried to be responsible and not send in a sick child, both for their sake and to not spread it to other children. I thought of checking her out early when it started coming down pretty good, but knew that would add an "unexcused" absence to her record. Therefore, I regrettably let her stay until Cherokee schools were dismissed at 12:15pm. I won't make that mistake again.
Monday night weather.com predicted snow flurries in Northern suburbs at 9am Tuesday changing to snow as the morning wore on. I fully expected school to be cancelled by the next morning, but it wasn't. By 10am it was fat snow flakes and we got an email at 10:34am that school would be dismissed at 12:15pm. I'm sure they saw the snow coming down too, so why not start dismissal within the hour? They know how quickly the roads become slick because they don't get sanded/salted. Why wait for it to snow for 2 hours before sending them home? You could look at the weather map and see that big white blob coming at us – no way it was going to miss us.
I heard someone say they chose to wait until after lunch because the schools get federal funds for the number of kids in school or the number of lunches served or something like that. Does anyone know if it's possible that's why they didn't dismiss earlier?! If so, heads should roll.
January 29th, 2014
3:28 pm
I am thankful I work from home and didn't have to commute in the crap yesterday but I am a little sad that I didn't get a snow day today! Love seeing all my friends and their kids out enjoying it though.
January 29th, 2014
4:15 pm
motherjanegoose – This is about parents and their children and their future and their safety. All the rest to me is immaterial. And this has always been my opinion about government schooling, regardless of the weather. It is the failure of yesterday just heaped upon a pile of failure a mile high that preceded it.
January 29th, 2014

January 29th, 2014

FCM – For future reference, teachers are only paid for teacher workdays and school days. We are not paid for any school "vacations."
If you don't believe me, pull out a calendar and count those days and compare them to the days on the contract.
A system may or may not choose to have teachers make up snow days or other weather events, but we are not paid for planned breaks.

Beck, again nobody is talking teachers and their pay. These snow days should be made up in Feb…PERIOD…..Bad call on Hinjosa's part. Hinjosa should be gone…but then I say that every time he wants to cut teachers, pay, fine arts, or increase class size ..
January 30th, 2014
9:55 pm
Making a snow day unpaid would be unfair. If teachers are going to be furloughed and lose pay, it should be on scheduled days so they can make their own plans (perhaps plans they can be paid for elsewhere to make up the loss). If the previously scheduled furlough days become make-up days, teachers should be paid for both the snow days and the make-up days — no swapping.

FCM — glad you were able to get home, who needs that kind of stress? We had about 20 – 30 people in our office that spent the night Tuesday. They hooked up Netflix on the computer in the training room, found someone's stash of popcorn and the wine left over from the Christmas party, and generally made the best of it. Someone got bright and walked over to a nearby Costco and brought back pizzas, too. I'm lucky, I only live a couple of miles from home and knew a shortcut, so my commute was 25 minutes instead of the usual 5-7.
I think those teachers and administrators that spent the night with kids and those bus drivers who watched over the kids in their care on cold, hard buses deserve everyone's sincerest thanks and appreciation. When you think about it, it could have been so much worse, with far more traffic accident injuries, etc. I am absolutely blown away by the FB page "SnowedoutAtlanta" and the thousands of people pitching in to help strangers out of the goodness of their heart, offering food, a warm place to stay, etc. That is what I want to remember from this incident — how Atlanta's true heart shone through.
January 31st, 2014

DB glad you got home. The teachers and bus drivers have my thanks and appreciation. I know Mr Ray runs a tight bus and I have no doubt he had the kids safety in mind the whole time. I agree that the goodness of people in this storm was amazing….even the building staff opening our cafe so we could make a hot breakfast (eggs, toast, bacon, and fruit) were great. Our church hosted 40 folks stranded on Abernathy. One of the guys that ended up back at the office with us, he couldn't make Ksaw, took another lady that was walking home first. Of course everyone her knows my neighbors grabbed my kids for me. The acts of kindness are what I will remember most.

Should We Follow These Leaders?
Brian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Investors are always hard-pressed to find ways to outperform the market averages, as stocks are generally priced at their appropriate price. However, one screening tool that has proven to be effective in determining whether a stock is moving higher is insider buying, for one simple reason: they buy stocks, just like us, to make more money. In addition, they arguably have the best view of the company, being a part of the day-to-day operations, and may have a large investment of their own that they like to see increase in value. Below are a couple stocks with strong insider buying.
Health care giant UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) out of Minnesota is simply a giant, with trailing twelve months revenue exceeding $110 billion and a market capitalization in excess of $55 billion. The company has been range-bound the past year with the current stock price virtually in the middle of its $50.32-$60.75 price range. Board director Rodger Lawson seems to think there is more upside ahead, filing an SEC Form 4 on Jan. 22 showing the purchase of 2,000 shares on the open market at $54.42, equating to almost $110,000 worth of stock.
Considerable insider buying is always encouraging, and when we look deeper into the company's fundamentals the valuations look appealing. Trading at barely half its sales to enterprise value and at a discount to its expected growth rate, while trouncing those estimates in three of the last four quarters, has me thinking that "the Street" is underappreciating UNH. Add in its consistently growing 1.5% dividend yield, which currently stands at a paltry 15% payout ratio, and investors can confidently expect that to continue to be raised in the near future. Competitor Aetna (NYSE: AET) is worth a look as well to potentially split one's position and take out company-specific risk. The company has similarly attractive valuations, while beating the consensus analyst estimates the past two quarters, displaying that it is currently operating well. Add in its 1.6% dividend yield and paltry 13% payout ratio and one can reasonably believe, like with UNH, that the dividend will be increased here again soon as well.
Diversified software giant Adobe Systems (NASDAQ: ADBE) is most well-known for its Acrobat family of products. Since its founding just over 30 years ago, the company has become a juggernaut with well over $4 billion in annual sales and a market capitalization near $20 billion. The stock is sitting right near its $38.78 52-week high and one would think that now is the time to take some profits. Board director Amy Banse thinks otherwise, buying 5,000 shares on Jan. 16 at $38.06 per share, equating to almost $200,000 worth of stock. The stock operationally has performed well, either meeting or exceeding consensus analysts' estimates the past four quarters while expecting greater than a 10% per annum growth rate for the next five years. The company does not pay a dividend though, which is discouraging to me, but with approximately $2 billion in net cash and healthy returns on equity exceeding 13%, Adobe is worth a look.
Moreover, fellow software titan Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is worth putting on the radar as a potential stock to diversify one's position with Adobe. Their ubiquitous Windows operating system has helped the company achieve annual sales well in excess of $70 billion and a market capitalization of over $230 billion. The company has done well operationally, exceeding consensus analyst estimates in three of the last four quarters while generating great returns on equity in excess of 22.5%. Perhaps most importantly, the company pays a very nice 3.3% dividend, and with just a 43% payout ratio, expect that to continue being raised in the foreseeable future.
Hopefully this gives you a nice starting point in your investment research.

Aeron Hodges is a small woman, but if she stretches out both arms she can embrace the whole kitchen in the compact "innovation unit" Mayor Menino is promoting to attract young workers to Boston's newest neighborhood. Designed by the architecture firm ADD Inc, the apartment is sleek and sculpted, with cool features like convertible storage and a wall mount for the inevitable Geekhouse bicycle. It's likely to be popular with young, single employees of the biotech and financial companies coming to the Innovation District, and with retirees looking for an urban pied-à-terre. What it is less likely to be, regrettably, is affordable.
A full-scale model of the micro unit — all 300 square feet of it — was on display recently at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. Hodges and her colleagues built the model in conjunction with Menino's "ONEin3'' initiative (named for the 30 percent of city residents who are between the ages of 20 and 34). "The most exciting part of the process is the collaborative nature of the construction itself," she said, perfectly summarizing the culture of this demographic.

Engineering professor, inventor and technological revolutionary, Rajit Gadh is changing the way we consume energy. He developed new technology that enables appliances to wirelessly communicate with the power grid— turning them off during peak times, decreasing energy costs and increasing sustainability. Gadh is also applying this wireless technology to create-large scale charging stations that would make everyone driving an electric car a reality. He's engaged with the U.S. Department of Energy and the Korea Institute of Energy Research to bring the technology to market, which will revolutionize how entire nations consume energy.
Gadh is also the director and founder of the Wireless Internet for Mobile Enterprise Consortium (WINMEC)—a university, industry and government collaboration aimed to advance technological research.

Microsoft Adds Linux Support to Windows Azure
Launch Ubuntu images, deploy Ubuntu on multiple clouds, and buy support directly from the Windows Azure Gallery.
Microsoft announced that it has added Linux support along with other updates to its Windows Azure cloud computing platform. The Azure platform now supports Ubuntu 12.04, openSUSE 12.1, CentOS 6.2, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2.
From the Canonical blog: "We're announcing today that you can obtain and launch Official Ubuntu Images from Canonical on Windows Azure. Windows Azure is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) from Microsoft that now includes the ability to manage individual virtual machines so that you can fully customize and control the infrastructure behind your cloud instances."
Virtual machines provide application mobility, letting users move virtual hard disks back and forth between local machines and the cloud. Users can migrate existing workloads, such as Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft SharePoint, to the cloud or bring their own customized Windows Server or Linux images.
According to Canonical, you can now launch Ubuntu images directly from the Windows Azure Gallery. The Windows Azure gallery currently contains Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS, and support is available directly from Canonical. With the Fall Release of Windows Azure, you will be able to buy support directly from the Windows Azure Gallery. If you want to deploy Ubuntu on multiple clouds as well as in your data center, Ubuntu Advantage provides mission critical support along with capabilities for automating and managing your Ubuntu environment.
For more information, see the Canonical blog at: http://blog.canonical.com/. Click here for details on other enhancements to Windows
