NAPLES, Fla.- BP is shelling out millions to businesses that have lost revenue after the oil spill. But you may not think a company like Pack and Post would even be considered.
"The Europeans aren't coming here because they think there's oil on the beach and there's not," said manager Rick Kalish.
Tourists are the core of business at Pack and Post, and owners say profit is down by 50% since last year.
"Our basic traffic here since may has been just awful," said Kalish.
He says he filed a claim with BP six weeks ago. He got a call from a representative telling him all claims are on hold until August 23.
"The whole things in review, nobody knows where the file is, who's reviewing it, when we're going to have an answer," said Kalish.
BP would not talk to WINK on camera, but a representative says no one will be paid until August 23, and some will take even longer. The company is waiting until the government takes over the claims process before any new checks go out. Kalish says that's not good enough.
"Being off over 50 percent of what you normally do you just can't afford to have people employed," said Kalish.

Dear Prescott South Families,
Your child's education is their ticket to a successful future. Our goal is for all Prescott Elementary students to have a strong foundation that will prepare them for the college and/or career of their choice. We have a STEM class in the Encore rotation this year, and we have a career genre focus for each grade level.
Pre K- Scientific Thinkers
K-Community Helpers
1st- Weather
2nd- Medical/Health
3rd- Technology Careers
4th- Engineering
Each student who attends Prescott South Elementary will be more aware of career options.
Please remember to read at least 20 minutes each night with your child; it makes a measurable difference.
Your feedback is valued at Prescott Elementary. My contact information is provided to better serve your family.

Thank you for reading with your child an additional twenty minutes each day. Together, we can make a difference!
Breakfast is a huge success!
Dear Prescott Parents,
The Community Eligibility Breakfast and Lunch have proven to be an amazing success. We are seeing fewer tardies, more prepared and alert students, less separation anxiety, and more excitement to come to school.
Now that we have our processes figured out, I would like to communicate what they are to help families best plan.
From 7:30-7:43, students in Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade will pick their breakfast up in the gym. If you are a parent of a K-2nd grade student who walks your child in prior to 7:43, please go to the gym to get his/her breakfast. They will still eat in the classroom, but serving them early has helped lessen the length of the lines. Please arrive prior to 7:43 to allow your child to get breakfast in the gym. Those students are escorted to class by teachers.
If you have a 3rd-4th grade student who needs breakfast, 3rd will be released with a PSES adult at 7:35 to get breakfast, but will not be released to classrooms until 7:45. 4th grade breakfast will be served from 7:40-7:55. Their line is fast, and they are great at making decisions. If you are not able to arrive by 7:55, your child will need to eat breakfast prior to arrival.
Breakfast carts will close at 7:55. All students will need to be fed, have trash disposed of, and be ready for whole group instruction by 8:05. All parents need to know that learning begins at 7:45. As soon as students enter the class there is purposeful morning work to be completed. Most classes have a "working breakfast" and a "working snack". Lunch is a social time, and it is served in the cafeteria.
The goal for all students if for them to be in the classroom by 7:45 to begin morning work. Thank you for helping us support your child and a wonderful education at Prescott South Elementary!
Catherine Jones
If school is dismissed early, 21st Century classes will be cancelled and students should be picked up at early dismissal time. On late arrival days (example 10:00 a.m. days), there will be no morning 21st Century classes.

I'm turning 30 in two weeks - Bk venue brainstorm?
-Celebrating with 15ish people coming from Manhattan, Wburg, Slope, Carroll Gdns.
-Ideally, this happens somewhere in one of those BK neighborhoods. (Or Ft. Greene. Or DUMBO.)
-Cuisine type not especially important. (Maybe farm-to-table? Maybe not Chinese.)
-Mostly looking for a fun, casual atmosphere with entrees circa $15-25.
Let me acknowledge that this is an incredibly broad post, but I thought it couldn't hurt to open the door to helpful free associations. If you were in my shoes, where would you throw this kind of thing?
re: phuh3
I just had my first meal here and thought that it was quite good, though possibly a bit small for a group of 15ish and very likely pushing the OPs budget range.
Without going into the entire experience, we generally thought the food was quite good but pricey and the service was abysmally slow.
Also in case you are tempted to order the "Flatbush bread" as we were - don't. billed as naan it really was grilled pita with some pretty uninspired dips (for $15!).
Depending on what night of the week you wanted to do this - ive been tempted to do something similar at The Brooklyn Inn in Boerum Hill/Carroll gardens which is a pretty cool neighborhood bar without food, but conveniently located just down the block from Mile End. Could require more coordination on your part but I would bet that if you called them with your requirements regarding number of people, amount you wanted to spend etc they could work with you to put together an order you could take to the bar yourself.

Some ideas, really good places that could do groups:
The General Greene
Frankies 457 Court Street Spuntino
Vinegar Hill House
Also an option is Roberta's, but for a group that large they make you get a "package deal" - all you can eat pizza, all you can drink beer / wine, large format items like whole pork butt or lamb shoulder, etc - but without knowing what people would be spending above just entrees, hard to say if it'd be worth it or not. You could do it as cheap as $40/pp for just pizza and beer.
Whatever you do, get that reservation early...

I don't know what night you're talking about but with 15 people you can very likely book the entire wine cellar at Convivium Osteria on 5th Ave in Park Slope. The food is delicious, the price is right in line with your budget, and the basement wine cellar -- which seats a max of 22 or 23 people -- is one of the prettiest rooms in all of Brooklyn.
Check it out -- you'll love it.
Convivium Osteria

it's not that spacious but mesa coyoacan has great, reasonably-priced mexican food in a fun and lively environment. the drinks are great (although less reasonably priced) and there is a large communal table that seats 15.
My sister had a birthday recently at Olea Mediterranean Taverna in Fort Greene. They seated us at one long table and the room was beautiful. The owner was really helpful too, with the menu and wine. The food was great and everyone had a wonderful time. For dessert, I ordered a Lemon Drop cake from Baked in Red Hook. That, too, was terrific.

Re: XSLT stylesheet looping through the same node (recursion?)
It would be much easier to look at your examples if you posted xml rather than a screen scrape of IE (I would guess) view source, which is full of spurious + - and spacing characters that make the result unprocessable. Also your posted stylesheet is not well formed (no closing </area>) so it presumably isn't the stylesheet that produced the posted resut? From your description It may be that you just want <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" exclude-result-prefixes="ns"> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:copy-of select="/ns:html/ns:body/ns:div[@id='content']/ns:p[contains(ns:strong,'Interest:')]"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> which returns all p elements that match the supplied xpath.

While somewhat counterintuitive ten years ago, it's painfully obvious today: saving the customer time and aggravation is usually more persuasive than simply saving them money.
This seems to hold true in the online world as well. A fairly recent MIT study showed that a majority of online buyers will forego the super discount websites and spend more at Amazon or brand-name sites in order to assure a reliable shopping experience.
So instead of an examination of when to focus on price savings vs. time savings, let's look at how buyers' perception of time changes as they move through the buying process.
As might be expected, task-directed customers are substantially less open to marketing before completing their tasks than they are afterwards. Visitors to a Bank don't want to hear about additional services and offerings until after they've been waited on by a teller. Once they've been seen by a teller, though, they become much more open to up-sells and cross-sells. Yet the longer customers stay (happily) engaged with a store, the more likely they are to buy. Both of these behaviors are well documented in the offline world.
Assuming such behaviors hold true on the internet, in the first instance, we'll want to move the customer though a website as quickly as possible. In the latter, meanwhile, we'll want to keep the customer engaged with the Website in order to increase her chance of converting. These apparently contradictory aims seem to argue for equally contradictory styles of site architecture and copy.
This paradox resolves itself when viewed through the lens of buying stage.
Late-stage buyers already know what they want. Consequently, they simply want to get in, get what they came for, and get out. Get out of their way and make accomplishing that goal as smooth, easy and fast as possible. The time to up or cross-sell late-stage buyers is at the product order page, shopping cart, or post-purchase e-mail. At these point, recommendations for other add-ons or accessories saves the customer more time since they won't have to make additional shopping trips later. Plus, the suggestions are made when the customer is basking in a "mission-accomplished glow" and most likely to listen.
Think of going to Amazon.com (AZN) with a specific book title, typing it into the search engine, and finding the book. Only after you've found what you came for that you might possibly be interested in learning about similar books or recommendations based on what other people bought. The homepage also had lots of suggested items and recommendations, but you likely ignored those in your task-directed book search.
Early-stage buyers, on the other hand, are still gathering relevant information with the intent of eventually making a decision. They're still task-oriented, but their task is to decide what to buy — or from whom to buy it — instead of actually buying it. What they've come for is insight, and the more of that they find on your site, the more time they'll spend with you.
In both buying stages, your goal is to provide the visitor with what she wants while saving her time. But in early buying stages, you save the visitor time by providing her with information and insight she would have otherwise had to work much harder and longer to obtain. She gives you her time because she senses she's saving some in return. Conveying this information and insight with engaging and enjoyable copy further leverages this relationship by ensuring that visitors are not only saving time, but enjoying the time they do spend with you. Do that and it's a fair bet you'll ends up getting your visitors' money as well as their time.
Turning back to the Amazon.com example, you may have come looking to research a book on a topic. At this point, the site's search function is less important than great customer reviews, suggested alternative titles, and the ability to read a passage or two out of a prospective book before buying it. Who hasn't spent a significant amount of time browsing for stuff on Amazon? The Amazon.com website effectively honors the time needs of both late and early stage buyers.
Most websites only cater to, or "optimize" for, late-stage buyers by assuming that visitors will know exactly what they want. And optimizing for late stage buyers is good as far as it goes because it is honoring the time needs of late stage buyers. But very rarely do websites consider the time needs of early-stage buyers — they don't look at persuasion.
As 3-panel and universal search become more common, early-stage buyers will have a progressively easier time finding insight that serves their needs. And if it's your competitor providing that content, are you ever likely to get those buyers when they finally do take action? Or will the persuasive battle have already been won by your competitor?
It's simply time vs. money. Spend time crafting persuasive, insightful copy that speaks to early stage buyers, or lose money.
[*Editor's note: If you've enjoyed the Copy Perspective Monday series, you can read more articles by Jeff at his personal blog jeffsextonwrites.com]
That's very true Jeff. Many businesses motivate buyers by giving them monetary savings and incentives, but losing many potential customers because of their unpersuasive copy. Too many times I've worked with websites that keep taking the customer in circles forgetting to answer their questions or concerns. That's why creating a very client-centric, visitor friendly site is essential. And it starts with great copy. Great series, thanks!
Jeff – you are 100% right. I used to work in mail order and it never ceased to amaze us that products that could save £100s per year sold poorly while products that could save "up to seconds" sold like hot cakes.

Our latest podcast on Accessible Theater!
New York City has the best theater in the world. But what if your vision is poor? Does that mean you can't enjoy Shakespeare, musical extravaganzas or even some hip new off-Broadway show? Not at all.
Andrea Day is an audio describer. She works in theaters in New York and on the West Coast, describing what happens on stage. She told us what it's like to be just one step ahead of the action.
But first we spoke to Lisa Carling, the director of Theatre Development Fund's accessibility programs. She decribes TDF's many programs for people who are hard of hearing or have vision impairments. TDF also has programming devoted to especially to families with autistic children. She also reveals how technology is transforming theater--making it more accessible to every kind of audience.

Correcting a few facts
This comment is firm Martin Lynch, Infinity's CEO:-
Hi Chris I ... saw your article and wanted to correct a few facts. Firstly we offer Tier 3 as standard and can readily deliver Tier 4. High availability is what our business is all about; that's why we were first in Europe to be Tier IV certified. We do not do Tier 1.
The site really is using dark green energy, the grid IS just there for backup. All of our customers demand grid backup in case of plant failures etc. It's just the way it is in terms of people getting confident with self generation. Our current designs are based on a. PUE of 1.2 so this is not just green energy but efficient use of energy as well with the option of borehole cooling instead of chillers if customers wish.
We're also just looking at a 15mw solar plant now that feed in tariffs support the case to support power delivery during daytime hours. We are are looking at a variety of ways to use that most efficiently and trying to package the power cost effectively to encourage the move to green. ... it's real, not a 10,000 cow R&D myth.
Thank you Martin.

I have 30 computers that you cannot print anything from Access 2003 on.
When you hover over the print icon on the toolbar it says " NO PRINTER"
There is a default network printer and you can print from every other program e.g. MS Word.
I changed the default to another printer and it worked once after printing a test page from the printer but has now stopped again.
This seems to have started after i had to change the default printer to another one for a short time while the default printer was being fixed.
I have seen, using a google search, that this seems to be an issue with Access 2003.
Has anyone got the answer to this problem.

In an article in the Star-Telegram (See: "Let's be honest about having fewer abortions," July 9), Lon Burnam, "representative" of District 90 in the Texas House of Representatives, gives his profound opinion on a solution to unwanted pregancies. Politicians being what they are, and having observed Burnam for quite some time, I can only assume that he has a friend in the condom business since this is a part of his solution.And he takes a snide shot at the opposing political party by saying, "pandering to the six percent of Texas voters who vote in Republican primary elections." I don't know how that fits in with the rest of his rambling, but I suppose he does. — Wayne Pricer, Edgecliff Village

Herman Wouters for The New York Times
The densely populated Netherlands, which is the main constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, has an elevation just above sea level on its northern and western borders with the North Sea. Germany and Belgium are its neighbors to the east and south.
One of the first countries in the world to have an elected parliament, the Netherlands has been governed since 1848 by a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy. A founding member of the European Union and the Eurozone, it is home to the International Court of Justice, along with four other international tribunals. The market-based mixed economy of the Netherlands has provided its residents with a per capita income that ranks among the world's highest. While the Dutch have always proudly embraced multiculturalism and religious tolerance, the struggle over immigration policies has become a polarizing political and social issue.

Cooking from Persia in Peckham and Moro East
These are easily my two favourite cookbooks of the moment. I've been meaning to make the Persepolitan Roast Chicken from Sally's book for ages but what to eat with it? As I delved a little further into the combinations of Iranian cuisine I see feta pops up over and over. I have some feta in my fridge, left over from yesterday's lunch. But how to use it? Hmmmmm, the wonderful blood oranges are in season right now. Feta and oranges, yum. A quick flick through Moro East turns up exactly what I vaguely remember seeing a couple of weeks back, a feta, chicory and orange salad. Ok, so there might be a lot going on flavour-wise with the chicken and now there's a lot going on flavour-wise with the salad, but I'm in that kind of mood. And I'm not going to eat my bulgur plain either, oh no, I'm going to flip one page over from the chicory and orange salad to the delightful sounding bulgur, celery and pomegranate salad.
I usually put my flavourings for chicken under the skin but Sally says to cram the stuffing into the cavity of the bird. The stuffing is sweet but not overly so and I'm glad in the end that I made the sharp and tangy salads to contrast it. The saffron adds flavour as well as a striking colour, making the recipe seem quite indulgent.
The recipe says to steep ground saffron in water. I used a pinch of 'normal' saffron and steeped it in 100ml of water, just to ensure even distribution over the chicken. Sally also mentions that she never bothers to truss the chicken, she just folds over and 'hopes for the best'. I was relieved to hear this as that is exactly what I do but it also represents one of the best things about the book; you can tell that she is a 'real' cook, a home cook. She may not perform every process to Michelin star standard, but she knows how to turn out great tasting grub.
I didn't get to go to Persepolis again this weekend. It seems something is against this idea and other commitments intervene. I am absolutely determined to visit next week. Nothing will stand in my way. It's better this way anyhow, as I'll be able to talk to Sally about one of her recipes that I have actually made (if she is there, of course). I may even ask her to sign the book.
I made a couple of modifications to the recipe, substituting barberries for cranberries and omitting the almonds altogether in favour of more of my favourite pistachios. I'll detail the recipe here as I made it. The original also includes some 'chips' which are cooked with the chicken for the last portion of it's roasting time but as you can see, I had enough going on already! The recipe also requires you to soak the fruit but doesn't specify how long you should do this for. After a bit of googling I found that ideally, the fruit should soak overnight. I soaked mine for a couple of hours and achieved a satisfactory plumpness.
Persepolitan Roast Stuffed Chicken
Adapted from Persia in Peckham by Sally Butcher
100g cranberries
50g prunes, soaked and pitted
50g dried apricots, soaked
50g walnuts
50g pistachios
50g sour cherries
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 tablespoon tomato puree
salt and pepper
1 plump chicken (mine was medium sized)
1 pinch saffron strands, steeped in 100ml boiling water
150g butter
-Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/Gas 4/350F
-Pat the soaked fruit dry and roughly chop it. Roughly chop the walnuts.
-Melt 50g of the butter and fry all the fruit and nuts together for 6-7 minutes. Add the tomato puree, cinnamon and cardamom, cook for a minute and remove from the heat.
-Season the inside of the chicken, then cram the stuffing inside. Fold the skin of the chicken over the cavity or truss if you dare.
-Melt the rest of the butter, add the saffron mix and then pour over the bird.
-Cover with foil and roast for around 40 minutes.
-Remove the foil and continue to cook at 190 degrees C/gas 5/375 F, until the skin is crispy (this is when you put your potatoes in if you are using them).
Now, onto Moro East. For the bulgur salad, you need to juice the seeds from half a pomegranate and keep the seeds from the other half for the salad. But pomegranates are so tricksy aren't they?! Firstly, I suggest concentrating so you don't do what I did and cut the pom the wrong way across. This just makes things harder. As you can see from the picture, I then proceeded to butcher the pom in a totally unprofessional fashion.
I used twice the amount of bulgur as the recipe called for as I wanted to make this more of a grain-based dish. I also used a large head of celery. I actually reduced the amount of oil in the dressing from 6 tablespoons to 4 and although I had more grain, it was delicious and well dressed. Keep any of the young yellow leaves of the celery for garnish. Here is the salad as I made it.
Bulgur, Celery and Pomegranate Salad
Adapted from Moro East by Sam and Sam Clark
200g bulgur
1 large head of celery, sliced
Seeds of half a large pomegranate
100g walnuts, roughly chopped
1 small bunch flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon fresh mint, finely chopped
Juice of half a large pomegranate (push the seeds through a sieve)
2 garlic cloves, crushed with a teaspoon of salt
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Whisk the dressing ingredients together, season, set aside.
– Cover the bulgur with boiling water and stand for 10 minutes, then drain any excess liquid and set aside
– Mix everything together in a serving bowl and add the dressing. Serve immediately (Sam and Sam recommend leaving the walnuts out until ready to serve as they can make the salad taste bitter if left for a while)
For the orange salad, I just amended the quantities to my taste and omitted the black olives as I had so much going on already. Sam and Sam suggest using blood oranges if they are in season, which they are, so I did and they look so pretty.
Feta, Chicory and Orange Salad
Adapted from Moro East by Sam and Sam Clark
3 blood oranges
2 large heads of chicory, leaves separated
1 small bunch flat leaf parsley, leaves picked
1 teaspoon dried oregano (the original recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of fresh but I couldn't get hold of any)
1/2 small red onion, sliced thinly
100g feta cheese
100g walnut halves
4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon good-quality cider vinegar
-Whisk the dressing ingredients together, season and set aside
-Cut the rind and pith from the oranges and slice them into 1cm-ish rounds
-Arrange on a serving plate with the chicory, parsley, oregano and onion
-Pour over the dressing and gently mix. Then crumble over the feta and add the walnuts

Who will u credit the popularity of mobile, whatever the other issues may be, but there was only one man, becoz of whom eah and everyone is having mobile nowadays and thats DHIRUBHAI AMBANI.in te same way nano's credit goes to only Ratan TataAnswered by Anthony, 25 Mar '09 11:22 am
Credit for popularity of Nano goes to Ratan Tata himself. Though he has inherited the great Tata empire he has not contributed anything much to its growth. Thanks to the team of Professional that JRD had nurtured that Tata is still a leading business house in India. Most of the projects that were championed by Ratan has not done well till date. For instance Nelco which was probably Ratan's first venture was a disaster. Tata's performance in passenger car segment like Indica has been disappointing. A big pre launch Hype was done for Indica but it has failed to live upto its expectation. Now Nano has been launched with tall claims with price being the USP. It is to be seen when on road, Nano is really a car or just an Autorickshaw with four wheels and a steering. Nano was already popular from the build up that Tata's have projected even before either Mamta Didi or Narendra Modi stepped into the ring.Answered by Shyam, 25 Mar '09 10:43 am
The man himself . The best and most respected face of Indian industry . He has shown to the world that Tata Motors can produce the world's cheapest car. He set up a challenge for himself and through myriads of obstacles he persited with dignity, sobriety and foresight to accomplish this feat . Nano launch is an event of historic proportions , it has the potential to change the landscape of world automotive industry. No great credit to politicians except Modi did alott the land for the work to go on .Ms Mamta B's ill-thought protest cost the company reportedly Rs.1700 crores .Answered by mahesh chandra, 25 Mar '09 10:41 am

This was Cartoon Network's version of the Tom and Jerry introduction. This was used on Cartoon Network from 1998 until 2004.

"Until we meet again, stay gold." Uploader's Note as of 5/16/2012: It's been almost four years since the sudden closedown of Toonami, but thanks to Adult Swim and to the legions of Toonami fans, this block will be returning on Saturday 5/26/2012. Proof here: twitter.com
An old game I use to play a long time ago at www.cartoonnetwork.com
Tom And Jerry Funny videos!!
Over 130000 Views!!! Thanks to all the people who liked this video and Toonami!! This is a look at the evolution of the host TOM from Toonami off of Cartoon Network. The evolution is only looking at up to the third TOM. This is fan-based. Toonami and all other affiliated shows belong to Cartoon Network. BTW: I had the option of showing this in a higher quality, but I thought that the effects put in it like this would show how much time has changed Toonami through the years. ______ The song at the end is called "Sanctuary" from Kingdom Hearts 2, only reversed. ______ IMPORTANT UPDATE: There is a new website called "Toonami Aftermath" that streams 24/7 of old Toonami and Cartoon Network shows!!! Go check it out NOW! Here's the link: toonamiaftermath.com
Transcript of TOM's speech: Well, this is the end, beautiful friends. After more than 11 years, this is Toonami's final broadcast. It's been a lot of fun, and we'd like to thank each and every one of you who made this journey with us. Toonami wouldn't have been anything without you. Hopefully we've left you with some good memories. So, until we meet again, Stay Gold............ Bang. RIP Toonami: 1997-2008 UPDATE: On 4/1/2012, Toonami returned for one night, taking over for Adult Swim. Steve Blum returned to voice the role of TOM, doing new DVD promos and a review of Mass Effect 3 (which coincidentally he does voicework in) They aired Bleach, DBZ, Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo, Outlaw Star, Big O, Yu Yu Hakusho, Blue Sub No. 06, Trigun, the original B&W Astro Boy, and Gigantor. On May 26, 2012, Toonami returned to the airwaves, replacing Adult Swim's Saturday Anime Block. Go and tune in every late Saturday night as that's the only way to keep new Toonami up and running into the future. The better the ratings, the better shows they can acquire. Welcome back, Toonami.
I think these commericials haven't aired on CN (USA) or at least I haven't spot them, I found these on CN's Facebook. And wow, Tom and Jerry make cameos in these commercials, although they don't have their own commercial. Cartoon Network sure likes Tom and Jerry, despite not having new episodes.

Part 4 of 6. Recorded in June 2002. From Two Stupid Dogs and The Mask. I use the term "promo" because for some reason, Cartoon Network Asia doesn't have commercials. Amazingly, even after 5 hours, I still see new ones. I will only keep track of how many times a promo shows up in one video, as it would get tiresome to keep track. 1. The Powerpuff Girls Movie: The Cast 2. Character of the Month: The Mask 3. The Bugs and Daffy Show 4. Courage The Cowardly Dog: A Simple Family 5. Grim and Evil: Grim Adventures of Bill & Mandy 6. Time Squad 7. Up Next: Fist: The Mask 8. Dexter's Laboratory: The Six Million Dollar Dexter 9. Who Is This?: Edd 10. Putting Cartoons Where They Really Belong: Cartoons in a Movie Theater (These Are Actually Pretty Damn Funny.) 11. The Scooby-Doo Hour 12. Cartoon Network Groovies: Mars Forever 13. Samurai Jack 14. Station ID: Bowling Cat 15. Time Squad x2 16. Grim and Evil: Evil Con Carne 17. The Popeye Show: Who Doesn't Eat Their Spinach? (Is It Wrong That I Hate This?) 18. Samurai Jack x2 19. Power Zone: Swat Kats 20. I Can't Be Seen Just Anywhere: Morroco Mole 21. The Tom and Jerry Show (I Was Never A Big Tom & Jerry Fan Myself) Sorry it's late, but I've been busy.
I have about 2 hours of Classic 2003 Cartoon Network on a tape, and here's a quick 9 minutes of it. Sorry about the quality. My converter was broken when I made the video. Contents: 1. New Dexter's Laboratory Episode "Blonde Leading the Blonde" (partial, but I have the full version later on in the tape) 2. Pokemon promo 3. Back to The New Scooby Movies (on Scooby Universe) 4. Credits for an unknown Scooby Doo movie 5. Scooby Universe closing 6. Next: Tom & Jerry, Sitting Ducks 7. Hooked on Phonics commerical 8. Lego commercial 9. Dexter's Laboratory Promo 10. Trix Yogurt commercial 11. Kellogg's Cinnamon Krunchers commercial 12. Scooby Universe Promo 13. Duck Dodgers Promo 14. New Episode of Teen Titans 15. Cartoon Theater: The Land Before Time VIII Promo 16. Cartoon Network ID: Tom & Jerry (Window Slam) 17. Cartoon Network's Tom & Jerry Intro 18. The intro to "Hatch Up Your Troubles"
