He asked me to marry him and finally the 'lump in the throat' melted away.

 I know that feeling of 'lump in the throat' and I can authoritatively confirm that it happens and you feel it physically. A huge painful lump that just wouldn't go down.

I had that feeling a couple of years ago when something horribly painful and unexpected happened to me. Tears wouldn't take it away, neither would my resolution to move on, so I came to accept that the lump was always going to be there along with a painful ache, that feeling of a deep hole somewhere in my heart which was always just at the background as well as the feeling that something was missing which was never ever going to be found.

Kristen & Robert fight over who gets custody of their rescue dog, Bear

Bear

26-year-old Robert wants Bear – the mixed breed rescue they adopted from a high-kill shelter in New Orleans.

But Kristen won’t give up Bear easily, she nursed the pup through his battle with the potentially fatal disease Parvo.

She's also spent a lot of time with the dog and has flown him around the country with her.

'After Rob moved his things out of their Los Angeles apartment, he then told Kristen he wanted Bear,' an insider told RadarOnline.com. 

'But Rob was so hurt by Kristen’s actions he decided that he wants the dog to help him get over what happened. After all, a dog is a man’s best friend and Bear is such a good companion.'She was heartbroken – they adopted Bear together and she always felt that he was their little baby.

Children are taken from their families and brutalised into future Olympians in China?

Olympic Update:Child Cruelty,What It Takes To Win In China?

If this is what winning entails, I'll pass.I used to respect the discipline and enduring qualities in these guys when it comes to being healthy and fit, but this is cruel. Trust Americans to go Western world to dig up the dirt when a 16 year old Chinese swimmer out swam men's No. 1. A very rare feat! They are saying kids that are barely old enough to know what the Olympic means are brutalised and focefully turned into athletes!
Sickening! Why can't they just let these kids grow up to decide for themselves?

A diplomatic storm is brewing over Olympic swimming sensation Ye Shiwen. The 16-year-old was forced to deny using drugs after US coach John Leonard called her gold medal-winning performance 'unbelievable'. But her defiant pledge that the world record-breaking swim on Saturday - which saw her outpace the winner of the men's event - came from 'hard work and training' failed to defuse a doping controversy gripping London 2012

Robert Pattison feels completely humiliated by his cheating girlfriend

According to Mailonline 'Robert Pattison is reported to have packed his bags and left the LA mansion he shared with girlfriend Kristen Stewart following the news she cheated on him with married director Rupert Sanders.

But despite Kristen’s very public apology regarding her ‘momentary indiscretion,’ Robert Pattinson is reported to be in two minds about giving his Twilight co-star a second chance.

A source close to the star told The UK Mirror: ‘Rob is devastated and deeply hurt. They spoke on the phone and he said “You’ve completely humiliated me.”

‘All the trust has gone.’

Rupert and his two kids with his beautiful wife Liberty Ross

The source said that the 26-year-old British actor 'couldn't believe what he was hearing’ when Kristen told him the fling was just a ‘one off.’'

Yimiton's comments:

I've felt so much pity for 22 year old Kristen Stewart in regards to her affair with 41 year old Director of Snow White and the Hundsman,  Rupert  Sanders, that I've been so reluctant to blog about it. Nevertheless when her boyfriend, Robert lashed out on her and said how completely humiliated he felt, I pitied her a little more and felt terrible for him and every other person in the mess.

Man arrested for refusing to leave the prison

Rodney Dwayne Valentine 

A man, Rodney Valentine who'd just been released from jail in northern North Carolina was arrested again for refusing to leave the jail after authorities wouldn't give him a ride to a motel.

He was released from the Rockingham County jail Saturday morning after being behind bars since May 22. The sheriff's office says he asked them to drive him to a local motel and they refused. Deputies charged Valentine with second-degree trespassing when he had refused to leave the jail by Saturday afternoon.

Lol, I'll say they should just transfer this man to Kirikiri prison for 1 week. He'll be too glad to run when he finally gains his freedom.
