| LORAM Rail Grinder: The Train From Hell. 1/7/09, Lemont, IL.Wed, 07 Jan 2009 23:48:11 -0800 by BoxcarFrankHere's another train caught by accident on the CN Joliet Subdivision. While driving back from a friend's house in Downers Grove, I saw black smoke coming from the tracks while crossing the Lemont Road Bridge. I turned onto New Avenue to see what was up and came across this Loram Rail Grinder, a train dedicated to keeping the rails in good shape. I recall seeing this exact train sitting in CN's Markham Yard out in Homewood on the CN Chicago Subdivision. The train consists of a huge unit with specially shaped wheels and grinding stones, two tank cars loaded with water, two crew coaches, and a caboose equipped with a water cannon to extinguish stray sparks. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see it in action despite the 40 minutes I hung around. I had to do these drive by shots since there was no place to set up the camera and because I didn't want to leave my vehicle unattended to long on the side of the road where several dump trucks were speeding by. I hope you enjoy the stuff I got here. I wish I could have gotten some some better quality footage.(c) 9th Street Productions.

| Invisible Rope (causes car crash almost)Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:46:36 -0800 by timooksieInvisible Rope Prank... I couldn't believe it works so well. You must watch until the very last invisible rope attempt. It is by far the best you'll find. If anyone does find a funnier invisible rope prank please comment and let everyone know.Unfortunately we were basically forced to stop due to a high probability of being reported for almost causing a car crash. Sound effects were added to give the appearance of the cars hitting. The cars did screech though.Due to the unforeseen circumstances of the last prank I am unable to bring you any further invisible rope pranks.

| Bluer Skies Catch Up 2Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:44:07 -0800 by NewL30This is the catch up for those of you who couldn't read Bluer Skies Wait for Me. read the first one first and if you don't wanna know what happens STOP READING the new season will be starting soon howeverThe next morning, the boys are told that Jordan will live there sort of as a foster child and Nick lets it slip that she has a chronic pain condition called Fibromyalgia (he is the only one that knows). Jordan gets upset and scared that the Jonases wont want to take her anymore, but Denise assures her that nothing will make them not want her. They go get ready for church and then Nick takes Jordan to the yard to talk. He tells her that if she was just upset the night before and didnt mean what happened he understood, but she kisses him and tells him that its the one thing she didnt wish hadnt happened. They become girlfriend and boyfriend. Jordan returns to school and tells no one what happened. When she gets upset when Kevin comes to pick her up she explains to him that her best friend Lydia is obsessed with them and has a crush on Nick so she doesnt want anyone to find out. However, soon a magazine prints some pictures of her with the boys and Lydia approaches her in the hall about it. Jordan spills the story out and Lydia asks what the deal is with her and Nick. She admits hes dating him and Lydia explodes telling her to have a good life with the Jonases and leaves. Jordan cant deal with the other people at school asking questions, making jokes, or kissing up so she calls home to ask if she can leave school. The next day they decide that she will be homeschooled with the boys.In New York, we see Ella and her roommate Laura. Ella doesnt like Laura much but feels bad for her so she hangs out with her. Laura also comes across the article and realizes that its her cousin with JB. She tells Ella theyre going to New Jersey for spring break because 'the brat is finally doing something to help her' When Ella and Laura show up at the Jonas house, Jordan runs out of the room terrified without a word. When Nick goes to ask whats wrong, she tells him that Laura didnt like her and blamed her for her mother and brothers deaths. Nick goes to yell at Laura, but Laura tells him that Jordans lying to him and that she was in the car and if she wasnt selfish her brother might be alive. Nick doesnt really know whats going on, but he sends Laura back downstairs, but not before she tells him that shes not really Jordans cousin. When Nick goes back to Jordan, she tells him everything. That Laura is actually her half sister. Her dad was having an affair with Lauras mom and her dad bought her silence. They told her that she was her cousin, but Laura told her the truth at the funeral. What had happened in the accident was that her mother died on impact, but she and her brother (James) were still alive. James told Jordan that he had to get her head to stop bleeding, but Jordan sees that hes bleeding pretty badly too but lets him take care of her instead of himself. She admits that she thinks she killed her brother and thats why she didnt tell Nick. Nick tries to convince her that it wasnt true, but shes still upset. Downstairs, Kevin is talking to Ella and is really into her. When Laura comes back she tries to hit on Joe but Joe just feels uncomfortable. Nick comes down and takes his brothers into the kitchen to tell them everything and he is really worried about her. He starts to break down but Kevin tells him he has to be strong for Jordan. They decide that they just have to get rid of Laura and go from there. Meanwhile, Ella asks Laura what theyre doing there and Laura finally tells her. She gets angry, but Laura holds strong saying that theyd all be better off if all three had died. Thats when Nick walks back out and says that he wouldnt be better off. He says that he loves Jordan and everyones a little shocked. He tells off Laura, but right when hes about to curse at her, their parents walk back in. Nick just goes back upstairs without a word, and Joe takes their parents to the kitchen to catch them up.Ella tells Laura off and leaves. Nick texts Kevin telling him that Jordan has no idea who Ella is so she has nothing to do with what Laura did to Jordan. Kevin runs after her and catches up to her, telling her he knows she had nothing to do with it. Ella shares that she thinks she has too much faith in humanity, and Kevin tells her that hell take care of her while shes still in Jersey. They start back to the house.still more... sorry but it was like 50 some chapters... Related: jonas brothers jb love story nick joe kevin frankie bluer skies wait for me catch up | |

How could I be such an idiot?We're talking through the door please open it.I'm down on my knees and the neighbors can see, That I regret so desperately.Baby, if you please, just hear me out,I really hope to God I can work it out.I'm soaked to the skin, just let me in.You can't believe what a mess I've been. I know that you're hurting, I know I was wrong. I know that for certain, you know we belong. Please let me see you, please open up.I beg your forgiveness, don't let us fall. Give me one more chance,Before we crash and burn.Give me one more chance,Before the point of no return.I'd give everything to make it good again,I'd do anything to get out of this tailspin.Give me one more chance,Before, before we crash and burn.Please. Please, baby, don't leave me standing here,Makeup running black in a stream of tears.I think what we had, let's get it back,'Cause losing is you gonna drive me mad.I know that you're hurting, I know I was wrong. I know that for certain, you know we belong. Please let me see you, please open up.I beg your forgiveness, don't let us fall. Give me one more chance,Before we crash and burn.Give me one more chance,Before the point of no return.I'd give everything to make it good again,I'd do anything to get out of this tailspin.Give me one more chance,Before, before we crash and burn.Please, baby, baby, let me come inside (come inside).We can talk it out where it's warm and dry (warm and dry.I really need to have you look in to my eyes (ooh ooh).I want you to believe me when I apologize.Give me one more chance,Before we crash and burn.Give me one more chance,Before the point of no return.I'd give everything to make it good again,I'd do anything to get out of this tailspin.Give me one more chance,Before, before we crash and burn.Oooh, before we crash and burn.
