People must be familiar with four books of the Twilight Saga: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and breaking Dawn. However, only some of the people know that there is one more book that is actually planned to be the part of the Twilight Saga: Midnight Sun. Unfortunately, little parts of the rough draft was posted illegally on the internet that made the author, Stephenie Meyer, came to a decision to discontinue the draft.
As well as other title of the Twilight Saga, Meyer used midnight sun as one of natural phenomena as the title of the book. This phenomenon usually occurs at the north latitudes and nearby to the south of Arctic Circle, as well as at south and nearby to the north of the Antarctic Circle. It happens during summer months and as it is explained by the name, this phenomenon allows you to see the sun in the middle of the local night. In simpler sentence, the sun is visible for 24 hours continuously. Some countries or territories that might be experiencing this phenomenon are countries that are crossed by the Arctic Circle, such Canada, Alaska (USA), Greenland (Denmark), Sweden, Norway, Finland, Russia, and Iceland.
Then let us back to the Midnight Sun created by Stephenie Meyer. Actually, this novel was expected to be the companion of the first book of the Twilight Saga, Twilight. This book was planned to have the same plot with Twilight from the perspective of Edward Cullen. Actually, surely it should be very interesting since it will be in contrary with Twilight that comes from the perspective of Bella Swan. Furthermore, this book should be quite different because Midnight Sun will be the only book to be rewrite based on perspective of Edward.
Unfortunately, public then found that the rough draft consisted of twelve chapters was illegally uploaded on the internet on August 28, 2008. For this reason, Meyer then decided to discontinue writing this novel. She stated that she could not continue to write Midnight Sun because she felt so sad about what was happened. Somehow, she thought that she would continue to work on this certain novel again when she was sure that people has been forgotten about this book.
Surely, the illegal uploading was a regrettable case due to the halt of the writing process of Midnight Sun. Hopefully, Meyer as the author will continue to work on this book again soon.

The new blockbuster movie Iron Man has been a box office smash in the first few weeks it has been on the scene. No doubt this is the first of a series of Iron Man movies that will be produced over the next few years.
Iron Man is a production of Marvel Comics and the Marvel franchise has really picked up steam over the last few years when it comes to collectibles. The success of movies like Spider Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four and now Iron Man will no doubt continue to fuel the Iron Man collectibles fire. Like most hot movies, the amount of collectibles available right now is pretty high but over the coming years, the supply will dwindle to a trickle and those smart enough to grab a few choice pieces now will be left laughing last.
It would seem that movie goers are interested in two collectibles right now. Iron Man Helmets and Iron Man Costumes are all the rage. A few companies have started making a life size complete replica of the Iron Man Helmets seen in the movies. In fact, you can buy the Iron Monger helmet as well as the early versions of the Iron Man helmets seen in the earlier editions of Iron Man Comics.
These life size replicas are based on the actual movie props and are constructed of real metal and often lined with leather for a reasonably comfortable fit. If you are an avid Iron Man fan these might make a really cool addition to your game room, den or office. A life size replica Iron Man helmet is sure to spur conversation and not to mention they look really cool.
So if Iron Man is your thing then I would recommend you check out the items available now. Marvel has limited the number of reproductions it would allow in order to keep collectability very high. They want the value of their franchise to be at the very top of collectible memorabilia lists. You can check out the links in my sig for a cool source of Iron Man Collectibles.
Good Luck Keeping Up.

The participants are action to accept two, bristles minute circuit to address bottomward as abounding solutions as accessible on the basis cards - one abstraction per agenda (one abstraction accounting on one card). If they use added than the bristles basis cards grab addition agenda from the centermost pile.
After an abstraction is accounting on the basis agenda the actor SLAMS the basis agenda bottomward on the table face bottomward to their appropriate (face bottomward is the ancillary that the abstraction is accounting on). The SLAM is important - the complete and the beating of SLAMming the agenda on the table adds a actual action to the "Mind Spin" that makes the action added fun!
If at some point a actor cannot anticipate of any solutions to the affair catechism they may grab one agenda from the top of the participants accumulation to their left. They accept 3 options afore SLAMming the agenda bottomward to their right;

Ask the participants to abide until they apprehend the alternation whistle, alarm etc...
Once annular 2 is done the facilitator gathers all the abstraction basis cards.
What does the facilitator do with all those basis agenda ideas?
Read through them - there will be several duplicates - while account through the account the facilitator can actualize ample categories for added altercation or accept the top 10 account to altercate further.
Facilitation Tips:
The SLAM makes this "Mind Spin" action alike added effective.
Encourage participants to accumulate moving! This is a fast paced LOUD action - if they accept no account grab the one to their larboard - I accept apparent account accomplish their way about a table 10 to 15 times.
The abstraction abaft the 2nd annular is to absolutely choke out the account and to animate the abounding spectrum of thoughts.
