Still, he couldn&rsquo;t resist the chance to play the beloved DC Comics hero, whose power ring can conjure virtually anything he can dream up. &ldquo;Will and imagination are his superpowers,&rdquo; Reynolds says. &ldquo;We need a circus of Timothy Learys to think of things Hal would invent with his ring.&rdquo;</em></strong></em></strong></p><p>	Can&#39;t wait for this movie to come on next summer!</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.mikealfaro.com/blog/2010/6/15/katy-perry-will-melt-your-popsicle-in-her-new-video.html"><rss:title>Katy Perry Will Melt Your Popsicle in her new video</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.mikealfaro.com/blog/2010/6/15/katy-perry-will-melt-your-popsicle-in-her-new-video.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Guata</dc:creator><dc:date>2010-06-15T17:44:43Z</dc:date><dc:subject></dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>	<embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" base="." flashvars="configParams=id%3D1518071%26vid%3D527631%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A527631" height="319" src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:527631" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="512"></embed></p><p>	Katy Perry really does give a whole new meaning to the phrase &quot;sugar tits&quot;.</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.mikealfaro.com/blog/2010/6/7/winning-districts-for-the-national-student-advertising-compe.html"><rss:title>Winning Districts for the National Student Advertising Competition</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.mikealfaro.com/blog/2010/6/7/winning-districts-for-the-national-student-advertising-compe.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Guata</dc:creator><dc:date>2010-06-07T06:35:59Z</dc:date><dc:subject></dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>	<object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lj39UQcyuVc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lj39UQcyuVc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640"></embed></object></p><p>	Check out this story about Chapman University advancing to nationals for NSAC.
