All 23 episodes from Season 2 of the series about Superman's early

from the eye of a tornado, and then discovers that the storm has
powered up his spaceship and deposited it in an exposed position in
a cornfield. In 'Heat', Clark goes into hiding after discovering
his new power of heat vision, which can have some rather startling
effects. 'Duplicity' sees Pete (Sam Jones) happening upon Clark's
spaceship in the cornfield, which forces Clark to reveal his secret
to him. In 'Red', Clark is given his high school ring which is
supposedly set with ruby, but is actually red meteor rock. The rock
has an instant and dramatic effect on him, changing him into a
wayward rebel who overspends on the family credit card and picks
fights. In 'Nocturne', Lana finds a love poem left for her at her
parents' grave by Byron Moore (Sean Faris), an elusive boy with a
dark and dangerous secret. 'Lineage' sees a mysterious woman,
Rachel Dunlevy (Blair Brown) turning up in Smallville, claiming to
be Clark's biological mother. This prompts the Kents to finally
reveal to Clark the truth about what happened when they discovered
him as a toddler in the cornfield. In 'Ryan', Clark tests his
powers to the limit to save Ryan (Ryan James), a telepathic boy who
is being used as a test subject at the Summerholt Research Facility
by the evil Dr Garner (Martin Cummins). In 'Dichotic', a gifted
student, Ian (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) has cloned himself and is
dating both Lana and Chloe (Allison Mack) at the same time. Clark
tries to warn the girls, but they attribute his interference to
jealousy. In 'Skinwalkers', Clark falls into a cave filled with
Native American inscriptions that hold the key to his true
identity. 'Visage' sees the return of Whitney Fordman (Eric
Johnson), which disrupts the relationship betwen Clark and Lana -
until his odd behaviour prompts Clark to make a shocking discovery
about his true identity. In 'Suspect', Jonathan finds himself
framed for murder after being found in possession of a murder
weapon. But Clark and Pete mount their own investigation and
discover a tangle of motives and possible suspects. 'Insurgence'
sees Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) discovering that Lionel has secretly
installed an electronic surveillance system in his mansion. In
retaliation, Lex hires crooks to install cameras in Lionel's
Metropolis office... In 'Rush', a parasitic worm infects Pete and
Chloe, turning them into wild adrenaline junkies. In 'Prodigal',
Lex tracks down his long-lost brother Lucas (Paul Wasilewski), and
brings him home to Smallville in the hope that they can buy Lionel
out and unite against him. 'Fever' sees Martha (Annette O'Toole)
fall into a coma after breathing in meteor dust. It is then
revealed that she is pregnant with Clark's brother or sister.
'Rosetta' features a guest appearance from the original Superman
movie actor, Christopher Reeve, who plays Dr Virgil Swann, a
brilliant scientist who helps Clark to receive messages from his
home planet using the Native American symbols that Clark discovered
when he fell into the cave. In 'Visitor', a new student, Cyrus
Krupp (Jeremy Lelliot) reveals to Clark that he is an alien.
'Precipice' sees Clark jumping to Lana's defence when she is almost
assaulted by a college student. He injures the student, causing him
to question the virtue of his powers, and soon finds himself facing
a lawsuit that could cost the Kents their farm. In 'Witness', Clark
tries to intervene after inadvertently witnessing the theft of a
Luthercorp truck, but is dismayed to discover that the thieves are
as strong as he is. In 'Accelerate', Lana asks for Clark's advice
after being visited by the ghost of her childhood friend, Emily
(Jodelle Micah Ferlar). But Clark realises that the little girl is
in fact a kryptonite-enhanced clone who is out to get revenge on
Lana, and wants her to drown just as she, Emily, did several years
before. In 'Calling', Dr Frederick Walden (Rob LaBelle) wakes from
his coma to find himself in possession of incredible powers, and
sets off on a dangerous mission to kill Clark. In 'Exodus', Clark
makes an amazing discovery about his origins when the spaceship
announces that it is programmed with memories of his Kryptonian
father, Jor-El (Terence Stamp). It asks him to come at sunset to
return to his family and friends and fulfil his destiny. But can
Clark leave his life in Smallville behind? 'Redux' sees Clark
coming to the rescue when a mutant, Chrissy (Maggie Lawson), starts
killing young men by sucking their youth out of them to keep
herself young, leaving them aged and lifeless.
Finalist - 2004 Book of the Year Award by ForeWord Magazine All too
frequently, martial arts practitioners study their art without
truly understanding where it comes from, how it was developed, and
why it was created in the first place. Indeed, many don't care -
and if you feel this way, you should put this book down. For the
rest of us, who have taken our art beyond tournaments, it is
reasonable to expect that we want to uncover the past. We want to
understand the where, why and how of martial art development. We
are intellectually curious about our combative history. To study
the combative arts is to understand the circumstances of their
development and to gain insights into the views and ethics of the
societies that created them. As we travel back in time, we see
consistent evidence of martial systems being influenced by those
that came before and/or invaded. We also see the use of
'pre-arranged' fighting patterns kata to transmit proven techniques
from one generation to the next. It is this transmission of martial
knowledge, through kata and other forms of communication, that this
book will explore. The author will demonstrate that pre-arranged
fighting techniques katas were used by ancient Greek, Egyptian,
Asian, African and European societies. And that Poetry, Dance, and
Song were also significant methods of preserving and transmitting
battle-tested fighting tactics through the ages. The purpose of
kata training is not to become bound by the form but to transcend
the form itself - to evolve.
In the tradition of such stellar writers as Cormac McCarthy, Harry
Crews and James Agee, Escaping Darkness is the haunting tale of
Donny Wayne Gavin, a young man driven to the edge of insanity by
divorce and his brother's death in Vietnam. Neglected by an
alcoholic father, tormented by his pious mother's sexual escapades
and oppressed by the mountainous region in which he lives, Donny
attempts suicide by jumping off a hotel's seventeenth floor ledge.
However, at the last moment his attempt is stymied by a homeless
woman named Mary, who helps Donny embark upon a spiritual quest
that enables him to confront the demons within. Sadly though
Donny's realizations later turn to dust and he is left once more
standing at the crossroads of self-destruction and desperation
facing life on the streets, suicide, or both. Filled with hope and
despair, sexual tension, black humor, southern mysticism and moral
drama, Escaping Darkness is the bittersweet story of adversity
almost overcome and one man's journey through the unforgiving world
of Southern Appalachia.
Discover the Facts Behind a Fascinating Martial Art! In the martial
arts, facts are often a scarce commodity. Histories are often
confused or inaccurate, lineages are muddled and murky, forms get

up with Okinawa's Complete Karate System: Isshin Ryu. It's a "must
have" for today's martial artist, whether you're an Isshin Ryu

development of one of the most fascinating, effective, and fastest
growing styles in martial arts. While providing the context in
which martial arts developed on Okinawa, Okinawa's Complete Karate
System offers you a comprehensive history of Isshin Ryu as well as
a thorough investigation of its founder's life and philosophy.
Dealing in depth with the system's lineages, the internal and
external aspects of the art, and multiple interpretations of all
Isshin Ryu kata, this book is a unique, compelling and engaging
experience. Okinawa's Complete Karate System: Isshin Ryu is
essential reading for all martial artists and historians.
