text: The wiki last edited by NJG5595 on 05/02/15 10:41PM View full history In a hidden cave a meditating Alex Luthor begins to realize his powers are beginning to return, while elsewhere in the paradise dimension Kal-L has recreated the Daily Star building in the hopes that work will help his ailing wife's health. He then leaves to talk to the homesick Superboy Prime promising he will help him learn to adjust to living in the dimension as soon as Lois recovers, while shortly after Alex finds Superboy watching memories of his birthday, gaining his krytonian powers and finally the destruction of his Earth. Alex then tells Superboy that the portal he viewed during the crisis wasn't hell but in fact Apokolips,letting him know if he had brought them there they could have went to New Earth. While in the potential a loop constantly plays of Earth Prime's destruction to Superboy, as Alex switches to the present day DCU to view why they sacrificed their life.He then pushes Superboy far enough to the point were he punches the wall of their dimension changing reality itself.While elsewhere Kal-L takes Lois to a replica of Metropolis which helps her regain a little of her strength, while Lois tries to make Kal realize that her ageing is natural. And while elsewhere Superboy Prime is continually pressured by Alex to attempt to fix everything,which he refuses fleeing only to hear Kal-L talking to Lois about how he will never grow up and become Superman. This spurs him to to return to Alex and agree to do whatever it takes to become free. Alex then begins having Superboy pound on the wall altering the history of various New Earth superheroes,before showing him the Jonathan and Naomi Kent of the New Earth and the Laurie with all three dying in a head on car crash fueling him to try to change it but he is to weakened to get through. Alex then funnels his anti-matter powers into Superboy who successfully escapes onto New Earth, with Alex coming through next.

Ford Beebe's onscreen credit reads, "Story written and directed by". The credits also noted that exteriors were filmed on location at Jack Ingram Ranch in Woodland Hills, CA. According to the file on the film in the MPAA/PCA Collection at the AMPAS Library, the Code Administration not only disallowed use of the expression "Nuts to you!" but also forbad "Nogales to you, seor!" The producer was also cautioned to ". . . make certain. . .that there will be nothing likely to give offense to the sensibilities of our Latin American neighbors."

Tracy caught out by temperature
|By Matt Beer
|Monday, May 24th 2010, 10:13 GMT
A 'heartbroken' Paul Tracy said handling changes caused by Bump Day's unexpectedly hot weather led to his failure to qualify for the Indianapolis 500.
The former Champ Car champion had been competitive in practice, but failed to make the top 24 on Pole Day, thanks in part to a gearbox issue on his first run. His Bump Day qualifying attempt was off the pace and in the final minutes he found himself on the bubble in 33rd.
Worried he would be knocked out and run out of time to respond, Tracy and KV gambled on withdrawing their speed and going for another qualifying run with 10 minutes to go, but lapped too slowly and abandoned it, leaving Tracy as a non-qualifier even though his previous run would have kept him in the field as it turned out.
"It is heartbreaking," he said. "The frustrating part is that it was quick in the cold temperatures. I was second fastest on Thursday with a 226mph and ran 225 this morning.
"But when it heated up, we just lost the handling and could never get the speed back. It wasn't for a lack of trying. The team tried everything. We just could not get the balance on my car when we really needed it."
He refused to criticise the team for the decision to withdraw his qualifying time and try again.
"Turns out we would still have been in. But it's a team decision," said Tracy. "And we worked as a team all week, and we made decisions as a team. And you win and lose as a team.
"So I've had a lot of wins in my career where we've made calls that were the right calls. We've made calls that are the bad calls.
"It's how Indianapolis is, you know? Some of the greatest drivers have not made it."
KV's other three cars qualified despite drivers EJ Viso, Mario Moraes and Takuma Sato all crashing heavily at various stages during the week. Tracy also had a close call on his ill-fated final qualifying run.
"I was on the verge of crashing every corner," he said. "So I was able to keep it off the wall and not destroy the car.
"We've had a tough week, KV. The cars had, in certain conditions, become very difficult to drive. We had three cars hard into the wall. So I was happy that we didn't end up going on the trailer in a box with a bunch of pieces."
Sarah Fisher Racing's Jay Howard also withdrew what would have been a safe speed to try and respond to Tracy, and ended up non-qualifying as well.
"I didn't think this would happen," Howard said. "Obviously, when you sit there in that position, the car didn't feel good on that second-to-last run. I was confident with a small change we could easily go out and do the same time again.
"I wasn't willing to let Tracy take that away from me. I had my own destiny. I felt pretty good about the car. We added a little bit of front wing to take away some of the understeer, and that definitely gave it a little more front grip.
"It was just weird. We had always been fast on our first lap and it dropped off, but I didn't expect that much of a drop."

Updated 12/26/2013
One of Maine's best chefs, Sam Hayward, opened this restaurant in a renovated warehouse on the edge of the Old Port in 1996. The menu changes daily to reflect the freshest ingredients from Maine's farms and waters. Every copper-top table in the main dining room has a view of the enormous brick oven and soapstone hearth that anchor the open kitchen, where sous-chefs seem to dance as they create such dishes as turnspit-roasted dry-rubbed pork loin, wood-grilled Maine island lamb chop with sun-root puree, and Maine mussels oven roasted in garlic and almond butter. Desserts include artisanal cheeses. In July or August, book two months in advance; otherwise, a week is usually fine. Last-minute planners take heart: a third of the tables are reserved for walk-ins.

Fore Street may be the best restaurant in Maine. I was on business in Maine during 2011 "Maine Restaurant Week" (a lucky stroke, by accident)and stayed the weekend enjoying several really outstanding restaurants in Portland and Kennebunkport (555 or "Five-fifty five in Portland is really one Fodors should include! Service, Atmosphere and Truffled Lobster Mac N Cheese is awesome). The atmosphere at Fore Street is reminiscent of many of the new Portland
restaurants with open kitchens, brick hearths etc. The food was outstanding and I enjoyed the overall experience immensely.
No Thanks

East Lyme - Dozens greeted Easter in the minutes before dawn on Sunday, clustered together in worship high on the upper level of McCook Point Park Beach.
An annual tradition, the ecumenical service - hosted by Niantic Community Church and attended by ministers and members of several other area churches - was followed by a new tradition this year of a seaside labyrinth walk, set up in stones along the water.
Worshippers began to make their way down to the labyrinth just as the sun's rays slowly began to peek over the horizon. Liz Buhler of Niantic paused to stand with her uncle, Bob Blodgett, and admire the sky.
Blodgett said he's been coming to the beach for 77 years - since he was a boy growing up in Niantic.
"I always think it's fabulous. I come every year," Buhler said. "It's a great way to start Easter morning."
Brian and Cynthia Tucker of Waterford sat with their two daughters - Ava, 5, and Aubrey, 2 - tucked between them on a bench overlooking the water.
"I thought it was beautiful," Brian Tucker said of the service. "A little challenging, with two kids, two young ones. They were wondering why we were getting up in the middle of the night. But it was worth it."
Cynthia Tucker said she used to attend Easter sunrise services when she was growing up, but this was the first occasion that they all went together.
"We don't see sunrises very often in our family," she said. "We're not early risers."
Down on the beach, the labyrinth - designed by Niantic Community Church labyrinth ministry members Joanne Moore and Susan Laurencot - was set up by a handful of volunteers in a couple of hours on Saturday.
Moore said Niantic Community Church's own labyrinth tradition originated 10 years ago at a women's retreat - an indoor version with canvas laid on the floor.
As a broader religious and spiritual tradition, Moore said, labyrinths exist all over the world as a tool for prayer and meditation. In the versions built into the floors of European cathedrals, she said, they could have been symbolic of an ancient pilgrimage to the Holy Land for those physically unable to make the actual journey.
"It was a way to have a path to a holy place," she said. "Or some people think that's it's just a way to kind of start your life over again."
The beach labyrinth idea has been in the works for some time now, she said. Last year, poor weather got in the way. But this year, it all came together.
"It's a dream come true for me," Moore said.
Shaped in the sand like a giant mushroom cap, the labyrinth's seven narrow circuits were laid out in stones and some wispy bits of driftwood along the short stretch of beach, just a few yards from where the cold water lapped at the shore.
Around the labyrinth stood three small signs stapled to stakes parked in the sand: "Meditation labyrinth. Welcome. Enjoy. Please don't disturb the stones."
People wended their way delicately through the circuits, footsteps muffled in the sand. When they reached the middle, many paused in silent prayer or reflection, closing their eyes or tilting their heads downward or gazing pensively out over the pale horizon.
"You wait until you feel enlightenment or peace, forgiveness," Moore said. "And then you come back out, following the same path, to the same world, but as a new person.
Though the morning was frigid enough to see your breath - most people were tightly bundled, some with their hands wrapped around warm thermoses - the complaints were scarce. Around the labyrinth, those looking on - those who had already completed their journey - spoke in reverent whispers, careful not to disturb.

I've always loved St. Paddy's day, and then I lucked out and married a cute Irishman. We spent part of our honeymoon in Ireland, and the green island holds a special place in my heart. A few weeks ago I asked the Tinkerlab Facebook community for some ideas on what I could do with a huge pile of old sheets. I got tons of great ideas, and we started by making a Simple Clip … [Read more...]
Spring Sink Mat Prints
I spend a lot of time at the hardware store. And last week I spotted this flower mat -- the Blumz Sink Mat! -- I love that exclamation point! -- It's an exciting sink mat! -- and it looked like something that could be fun to print with! In honor of Spring's inevitable arrival (yes, it WILL get warmer) and St. Patty's Day (I married a "Doorley", after all), we used green … [Read more...]

I'm a Poet ©
Michael Casey
I'm a poet, yes I am. I can rhyme mine with thine. Or whatever. I can repeat a verse two or three times, thinking its improving with repetition . I can write an ode to a toad, I can talk about slime and mud, and splash as the toad escapes. What if it's really a frog who can tell the difference anyway?
I can wax lyrically about the moon in the night sky, even if nobody really knows what "wax lyrically" means. It's to do with the bikini line isn't it, or uni-brow removal. The moon the moon, why does it make us swoon? The moon the moon, why does it make us swoon? See if I repeat the line it makes it ever so much more powerful. I am the new Lord Byron. You don't know who HE is/was/whatever can't you just go Google?
The heart, the heart, it bleeds and weeps when we are apart, I cannot stand the pain, that's why I have all the weight gain. Oh comfort eating, oh comfort eating, that's why my pants are splitting, because I miss you so much, the pain the anguish, the soul destroying anguish. When will you be back from the shops with my triple size frozen family size pizza. Then the longing, the tears will stop.
You rush through the door, I can see you once more, you drop the plastic bags to the floor. The pizza rolls out across the floor, I rescue it from the cat, who's just finished a nap, stretching stretching, the cat claws at the pizza wrapper. Such a clever cat, it delights in being a chef, pussy just loves pepperoni, so I flip the pizza in the oven, gas mark 7.
Then I turn my attention to my love, sent from heaven above, removing her gloves to put her hands in the suds to warm her beautiful hands, from the cold cold cold cold outside. 4 repetitions in a sentence, such great poetry. As I wipe her hands on the tea towel I look into her eyes, yes she did bring me a surprize, a surprize I can see in her eyes. Triple double dip donuts, she loves me she love me, the Lord Byron of Birmingham.
The cat rubs his body against the oven, the house is so cold, we can't afford to keep the heating on, we huddle against the oven for warmth. Soon the pizza is ready, soon the pizza is ready, it is ready soon. We are over the moon as soon the pizza is ready. The cat claws at the oven door, the oven door is clawed at by the cat, how the cat claws at the oven door, how the cat claws at the oven door.
The smell of the pizza fills the house, the smell of the pizza fills the house, how the pizza fills the house with its smell, the smell the smell, all is well, the pizza is done, the pizza is done.
The smoke alarm rings and rings and rings, the pizza is ready the pizza is ready, are you ready too, are you ready too. The pizza is ready. You open the oven door, you open the oven door, the oven door is open. The cat is ready with its claw, the cat is ready with its claw.
The pizza is flung, the pizza is flung, like a frisbee, like a frisbee it is flung on the table. The cat the cat is ready for that. The cat is clever the cat is clever, such a clever pussy, such a clever pussy. The cat divides the pizza into eight, the cat divides the pizza into eight. No need for plates, no need for plates. The cat takes a slice, pepperoni is nice, a nice slice, a nice slice, a nice slice.
I devour the pizza, I devour the pizza sharing it with my love, sent from heaven above, sent from heaven above, well from the frozen food store anyway. Dripping pizza and sauce, dripping pizza and sauce we devour the pizza. We consume it, we devour it, we demolish it, we eat it, we scoff it, we we we, we just eat it. Enough of the verbs, enough of the verbs, we just have pizza, we just have pizza, pizza is had.
As for the cat it loves the pizza, pepperoni is its favourite, the cat sat on the mat, the mat was sat upon by the cat. Dripping in sauce the cat is cleaning its whiskers, its whiskers are clean, clean clean.
And what about us, and what about us? We are covered in cheese and tomatoes and pepperoni bits, the pepperoni bits are everywhere. So now that we are fed I carry my princess to my bed, to my bed I carry her, to my bed I carry her. Passion and Flatulence awaits, passion and flatulence awaits, but as we cannot afford to put the heating on that is perfect.
Love Passion and Pepperoni Pizza, with the cat asleep at the bottom of the bed. This is perfect love sent from heaven above. Sent from Heaven Above.
Dedicated to Pretentious Poets Everywhere. 19th Feb 2014.

Charles Dharapak, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama decided to stay home from economic summits in Asia as Democrats stepped up pressure on congressional Republicans to rein in their tea party faction and reopen the government with no strings attached.
House Republicans said that with Congress and the president in town this weekend, now is the perfect time to start negotiating a plan to reopen the government.
"All I'm asking for is let's sit down, like the American people would expect us, and talk to one another about getting the government open and dealing with the significant problems that we face," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters Friday.
GOP leaders said Friday the House will be in session Saturday so that Republicans can continue passing bills that would reopen selected parts of the federal government. The White House responded by issuing fresh veto threats Friday, saying Congress should reopen the entire federal government.
The Labor Department, meanwhile, did not issue the monthly employment report for September that was due Friday because of the shutdown.
The White House called the partial government shutdown that entered its fourth day Friday "completely avoidable" and complained the shutdown was interfering with the president's efforts to promote trade and U.S. influence in emerging world markets.
Democrats pointed to disagreements within the Republican Party, where reluctant congressional leaders were prodded into a showdown over government funding and Obama's health care law by rowdier conservatives, such as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
To get the government up and running again, "it will take some coming together on the Republican side," said the House's lead Democrat, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California.
"It's very hard to negotiate with the Republicans when they can't negotiate with themselves," Pelosi said Friday.
Senate Chaplain Barry Black opened Friday's business with a plea for God to "give our lawmakers the vision and the willingness to see and to do your will."
"Remove from them that stubborn pride which imagines itself to be above and beyond criticism. Forgive them for the blunders they have committed, infusing them with the courage to admit and correct mistakes," Black said.
Obama criticized Boehner for not bringing up a vote to finance the full reopening of the government without conditions.
"Speaker John Boehner won't even let the bill get a yes-or-no vote, because he doesn't want to anger the extremists in his party. That's all. That's what this whole thing is about," Obama said Thursday at a campaign-style event at a Rockville, Md., construction company.
Boehner and other Republicans put the blame on Obama. They say he should recognize the flaws of "Obamacare" and negotiate solutions as part of a deal to end the shutdown that forced the furlough of some 800,000 workers, more than a third of federal civilian employees.
Boehner said Obama was being "irresponsible."
On Friday, the Republican-led House was keeping up a drive to finance certain agencies and programs on a piecemeal basis — a strategy rejected by Obama and the Democratic-led Senate.
"We are not picking winners and losers," said Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn. "I think what we are doing is exercising stewardship over the taxpayers' dollars. ...I'm ready to go to work today and get it done."
The House planned a vote to fund a popular program providing food aid to pregnant women and their children, as well as ongoing disaster relief.
Furloughed federal workers would get retroactive pay under a bill the House plans to vote on Saturday. Some top Democrats have supported that idea alongside Republicans.

Rabat Travel Tips
Rabat Vacation Rentals are a True Escape
The tiny island nation is located off the southern tip of Italy, just south of Sicily. There you'll find the idyllic town of Rabat which offers up an array of Malta Island villas for your vacation stay. These Rabat accommodations will give you the chance to relax and live as you would in your own home. Rabat vacation rentals are an ideal way to create a unique vacation experience. You'll still have access to all the diverse sites on Malta as well as ferry trips to Sicily, but you'll be staying in true comfort thanks to the rentals you'll find at VRBO.com.
Rabat Dates Back to Ancient Times
Rabat is considered a very special place in the Catholic Church. Paul was shipwrecked on Malta Island, and as a result, the St. Paul Church and catacombs were built to commemorate this part of biblical history. You'll find that and so much more by merely stepping out of the front door of your Rabat vacation rental. Whether you take a leisurely stroll to visit the many museums or plazas, you'll never stray far from your Malta Island villa. Even if you decide to spend most of your time within your Rabat accommodations, you'll be rewarded with warm surroundings and privacy.
Malta Island Vacations are Unique
Part of the fun of taking a vacation is to be able to share your stories and memories with your friends and family back home. A lot of folks take typical trips to crowded tourist spots, but are they really experiencing the culture that way? Staying in Rabat vacation rental will ensure you're getting an authentic Mediterranean experience. Your Malta Island villas are no different then the type of Rabat accommodations enjoyed by the local population; along with the amazing food and breathtaking architecture you'll experience, your vacation will make you unique among your friends.


text: Hey guys, great forum; I've been a lurker for some time! I'm wanting to know if anyone has dealt with the goofy bar top brake handles on a Giant OCR3? I'd like to remove them (never use them), but I'm curious if I'll have to replace my cables if I decide to do this. I'm pretty much waiting untill spring when I rewrap the bars, but I'd like to know now in case I need to order parts. Thanks!

Pedaling as Fast as I Can
One night when I was in third grade my family was eating a normal family dinner at the table. Well somehow my dad started choking on whatever it was we were eating.
As soon as my dad started choking I was so freaked out that I jumped up from the table, ran into the garage, jumped on my bike, and just pedaled around the neighborhood as fast as I could. Then when I felt like the coast was clear and my dad was all better I came back home, sat down at the table and finished my meal.
I do not remember this event at all but I was laughing hysterically as my mom was telling me about it.
Not only was this a stinking hillarous story but it was also a great reminder to me:
There are many times in life when I want to get on my bike and pedal as fast as I can and then come back when the coast is clear.
But as we all know this doesn't always work - however we are able to place our faith in Something so much bigger than us and let Him do the 'pedaling' for us. Leading us back to the place in life where 'the coast is clear' even if it is just through feeling his peace. This story was a great reminder of that illustration for me.
On a side note: I still get SO freaked out when I think people are choking. If I am eating with somebody and they so much as cough I go into a tail spin trying to find somebody to perform the Heimlich Maneuver. It is ridiculous. Luke is a grown man and I will not let him eat Gobstobbers (his favorite candy snack) around me. Seriously....hard little balls the perfect size for getting lodged in the throat?!?!? Who thinks up these death traps?

How funny!ReplyDelete
Just wait til you have kiddos. They can choke on anything! Last night I was at my inlaws and one of the grandkids was there and he had a mouth full of waffle and jumped down from the table to chase my daughter. When he did he must have sucked it down the wrong way and he started gagging. I was just like, Are you ok? I've been used to that kind of thing happening so most of the time they can cough it up. LOL
That's pretty hilarious!!! Totally made me laugh out loud at my desk!ReplyDelete
Megan, you are a terrific writer. I laugh almost every time I read a post of yours because I can hear you telling the story. Hope you're enjoying the last leg of wedding planning.ReplyDelete
I loved this story!! So funny! And about the Gobstopers, men just have to make some sacrifices sometimes :)ReplyDelete
Death traps. You are too cute! I hated riding a bike. Still do. You are right about about letting God do the pedaling. It's hard to relax and let go sometimes though.ReplyDelete
Love the story and love the lesson attatched to it!!ReplyDelete
And I am with you on the freaking out if someone MIGHT be choking. I am so there with ya, my friend.

hurrry up and update alreadyReplyDelete
I remember when I was a teenager and I was in a shoe store and a person was choking on a piece of hard candy. I never forgot that and it scared me to death.ReplyDelete
The tanning place I go to in our town has a bowl of hard candy sitting on the counter and I see people grab them and I can't help but think...."They are going to be lying down flat and they are going to (God forbid) choke on that hard candy and nobody will even know because they're alone!" :)
Funny story though about you taking off on your bike.
When is the wedding? How are things going? Keeping you in my prayers for all to go super smooth.
What a funny story. I love how you just came back and started eating like nothing happened.ReplyDelete
Hillarious story of you as a child but a great life application!!! I'm glad you shared this!ReplyDelete
You two looked fabulous before the wedding you went to this weekend!
One piece of advice....try not to stress too much. Enjoy this time prior to your own wedding day. I was so stressed before our wedding that there are some things I was not able to enjoy. It will all come together!!!
Thank you for leaving a comment. I try my best to respond to all comments but don't always succeed. I do love reading each and every comment though!
