I loved that tricycle. it was blue, my favorite color, with white pinstripes on the fenders. It was shiny and big, that Cadillac of tricycles.
We had just moved into the little brick bungalow on Kipling Drive. It was a new subdivision full of young families. There was miles of smooth, flat, fresh-lain concrete sidewalks. My parents had purchased the model home. They got a discount because so many people had been through it.
My dad had always been a nevous driver. He would do fine on long, straight, quiet roads but not so well in heavy traffic. He also had an almost in-born antipathy toward female drivers. Sometimes we would be in the car with hi when a lady driver would cut him off or some other irritant and he wold let loose with a "Gosh darn woman driver!" but he used to be much worse, yelling profanities even if the other driver had no chance of hearing them.
I was about four years old when we moved to Kipling Drive. Our street was the very last one, running east-west and backed by a steep cliff topped by railroad tracks with nothing but blackberry brambles and open fields beyond that. On the other end, a long way away, the paved road stopped at woods.
Soon after we moved in I was riding my tricycle as fast as I could toward the ditch when the little girl next door, Kathy Dowdy, age three, came racing up behind me on her common red trike, and flew past, the ribbons holding her long, blond-streaked hair in place fluttering in the wind, knocking me off the road and from my trike. Furious, I stood up and shaking my fist at her back I yelled, "Goddamned woman driver!" and from that day forward I never heard my dad utter another cuss word, either aimed at woman drives or anyone else.

Northampton V Gillingham at Sixfields Stadium : Match Preview
Northampton V Gillingham - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.
Cobblers receive Platt boostClive Platt will return to the Northampton squad for the visit of league leaders Gillingham.Platt failed a fitness test on a calf injury and missed the 3-3 draw at Burton on Saturday but the striker has been given the all-clear to play on Tuesday night and is expected to be on the bench.Teenage forward Lewis Wilson is also available again after a dead leg sustained during a behind-closed-doors friendly against Peterborough last week saw him miss the trip to the Pirelli Stadium.Experienced goalkeeper Shane Higgs is likely to be among the substitutes again after completing his nine-month rehabilitation from a ruptured Achilles tendon.Midfielder Ben Harding (ankle) and defender Seth Nana Ofori-Twumasi (knee) are the only absentees.Danny Jackman joins suspended team-mate Bradley Dack on the sidelines for Gillingham.Jackman was given his marching orders for a lunge on Andrew Tutte 33 minutes in Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to Rochdale - the Gills' first in the league this season.The midfielder now starts at three-match ban at Sixfields as Dack completes the same punishment for his red card in Gillingham's league clash against Southend last month.Charlie Lee (leg) will be assessed to determine whether he can make a return but fellow midfielder Jack Payne (groin) is taking part in extra training to up his fitness levels.Manager Martin Allen is again likely to continue his rotation policy to cope with the punishing fixture list and that means recalls for the likes of top scorer Danny Kedwell and Charlie Allen.

From the podium
His Excellency Tsutomu Takebe (Minister for Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan)
Mr Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen. I am very delighted to attend the World Food Summit: five years later and to have the opportunity to express my views to all of you as a representative of Japan. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr Diouf, the Director-General of FAO, and the FAO Secretariat for organizing this Summit, as well as to our host, the Government of Italy. Mr Chairman, in 1996, the leaders of nations gathered in Italy for the World Food Summit in order to recognize and reconfirm the importance of food and agricultural issues toward the Twenty-first Century. They also discussed ways to eradicate famine and malnutrition and how to achieve world food security. Five and a half years have passed since the Summit was held, and I am deeply concerned by the fact that about 800 million people worldwide still continue to suffer from malnutrition. In order to improve our situation, we believe it is of vital importance that the donor countries and international organizations such as FAO continue to work together while developing countries make their own effort, and all try to tackle the problem of malnutrition and food shortage together. From this perspective, it is extremely significant to reconfirm the status regarding both the reinforcement of political intention to fight famine from various countries as well as the mobilization of the resources at this Summit five years later. Mr Chairman, in order to eradicate the problems of famine and malnutrition, it is most important for each government to fully recognize the role of agriculture. About three-quarters of the population in poverty in developing countries and countries in transition live in rural areas. In view of alleviating poverty in these countries, agriculture plays an important role to ensure basic food for subsistence, while providing opportunities to increase income for farmers and employment for the poor. In addition, agriculture has various functions such as food security, land conservation, fostering water resources and preservation of the natural environment. Such roles and functions of agriculture can only be realized with the development of sustainable agriculture and rural development. I believe that the Twenty-first Century should be the era when the various nations and regions of international society coexist and mutually respect each country's values based on their specific historical and cultural backgrounds. Agriculture is the foundation of society in every country and provides a variety of functions that are beneficial to society. As there are differences in the natural conditions and the historical backgrounds from one country to another, the diversity and coexistence of agriculture among various countries need to be preserved. In this regard, based upon the fundamental philosophy of coexistence of diversity of agriculture, we believe that it is necessary to establish trade rules that fully take into account non-trade concerns on agriculture in the WTO agricultural negotiations. Considering the possibility of tight international food supply in the future, as well as vulnerable economic situations and unstable social conditions in developing countries, it is important to ensure food security based on sustainable domestic production in each country, while appropriately combining imports and stockholding. Japan has proposed a framework for international food stockholding to WTO, aimed at strengthening support schemes for food in developing countries through alleviating temporary and large-scale food shortage problems caused by natural or manmade disasters. The proposed scheme would ensure the international food stockholding of basic foodstuffs and contribute to the more effective implementation of food aid. In addition, our country has been engaged in the study on East Asian Rice Reserve System through collaborations with ASEAN countries as a concrete step forward in realizing this proposal. The results of this study will be a topic for discussion at the upcoming meeting of ASEAN Agriculture Ministers and the Ministers of the three countries, Japan, the People's Republic of China and the Republic of Korea, this October. We hope that the participating countries will be able to reach a consensus on the new management system of rice stockholding in East Asia in the meeting. At the high-level ministerial segment of the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF) held March 2002, the role that sustainable forest management plays to eradicate poverty and to achieve sustainable development was underscored. In addition, at this ministerial segment, the Ministers responsible for forests in their countries adopted the message to the World Summit for Sustainable Development (WSSD) that they invite the WSSD to advance sustainable forest management as a critical means to eradicate poverty, improve food security and access to safe drinking water. We believe that international society must continue to address problems that hinder efforts toward sustainable forest management, including illegal logging. In regard to these areas, Japan has been promoting not only bilateral cooperation but also multilateral cooperation such as through the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO). As for fisheries, it is important to reduce over-fishing, eradicate illegal fishing and manage marine ecosystems synthetically. Equally important is the promotion of sustainable use and conservation of marine living resources, because marine products play a critical role in supplying nutrition for citizens. It is necessary to manage and develop fisheries with a careful consideration of the role that sustainable fisheries play in the guarantee of food security and in the reduction of poverty. Mr Chairman, since our entry into the Colombo Plan in 1954, Japan has donated a total of approximately US$ 200 billion to Official Development Assistance (ODA) until 2000 and has steadily continued to realize the follow-up of the World Food Summit in spite of the current difficult economic and fiscal situation. To give an example, we have been implementing the Special Programme for Food Security (SPFS) since 2000 in four Asian countries, including as Indonesia and Laos, with five-year commitments. In addition, as new collaborative activities with FAO, we have decided to undertake the following: a project concerning biotechnology in Asia; a project for the WTO related to agricultural capacity building; and a project to improve information systems concerning food security in each ASEAN Member Nation and observe the situation on food security. We hope to contribute to the reduction of the number of people suffering from malnutrition through these projects. In addition, as the world's largest net importer of agricultural products, Japan has been actively contributing towards the importation of agricultural products from developing countries. In addition, these days, consumers and civil society are showing growing concern over food safety and quality and food labelling. Under such circumstances, Japan has been taking various actions in order to ensure food safety, since the outbreak of BSE which occurred last year. We would like to implement positive cooperation in this field, mainly with Asian countries, based upon lessons learned through such experiences. Since 1993, Japan has been organizing the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD), whose objective is to implement sustainable development in Africa. In 2003, TICAD III will take place in Japan in which various leaders of African countries will participate. In addition, both at the G8 Summit and the Johannesburg Summit (World Summit on Sustainable Development – WSSD) this year, African development will be an important theme. Within this context, Japan has been promoting agricultural aid to Africa, making the most of its experience in improving food products in Asia. As a part of such efforts, we have been involved in experimental research of New Rice for Africa (NERICA) and our research has been spotlighted as a contributor to the improvement of famine in Africa. We plan to continue our active aid toward Africa as exemplified by the case of NERICA. In addition, since 2000 we began implementing aid with FAO, applying the Human Security Fund and other funds in order to achieve the guarantee of food security in African countries, where the situation of malnutrition is extremely severe. Furthermore, we have been aggressively supporting water resource development of developing countries for an increase in food production. On the other hand, given the limited water resources, effective control of water resources is in demand. In order to approach these issues, the third World Water Forum will be held in March 2003 in Japan. In conjunction with it, the Meeting of Ministers of Agriculture will be held under the co-organization of Japan and FAO. Finally, I would like to stress the significance and urgency of the collaborative effort of each country to achieve the goal of reducing the number of undernourished people to half its present level no later than 2015, as agreed at the World Food Summit in 1996. Japan will aggressively tackle the issue of malnutrition, together with other countries world-wide. I would like to thank you very much for your attention.

You might be surprised to learn of the link between Wynton Marsalis and Anthony Braxton. It, or more accurately he, is trombonist Joe Fiedler, a leading practitioner of the multiphonic techniques pioneered by Albert Mangelsdorff and Paul Rutherford. Fiedler has played with Marsalis and Braxton, spokesmen for the radical extremes of an ongoing debate about the course of jazz. Perhaps Fiedlers seemingly contradictory collaborations should be no surprise at all. His biography includes work with such diverse artists as Lee Konitz, the Mingus Big Band, the Lionel Hampton Orchestra, Cecil Taylor, Myra Melford, and Fast N Bulbous (the Captain Beefheart tribute band). These kinds of connections to the mainstream and the avant-garde mean that a new Joe Fiedler recording will be faithful to jazz history and open to jazz's future. And thats precisely what happens with The Crab. Watch out, this CD is the clear evidence that this guy is right in the middle of everything happening on the planet Jazz.

Michael Owen should turn to feng shui, recommends Geoffrey Boycott
Boycott, who has been a staunch Manchester United supporter since 1962, is a great proponent of feng shui an ancient Chinese system which claims to align your house and living spaces in an auspicious manner. 'I have a feng shui master that I use,' said Boycott. 'And he helped me when I was ill in 2002. He works out your birth-chart and the positions of the stars and I was encouraged to sleep with my head pointing south-east. Related ArticlesUnited flops face axe for CityThe Daily Bung: Have the Fergie doubters lost their minds?Shay Given keen for revengeCity 'face tough task' at ScunthorpeThe Daily Bung: Leeds time it to perfectionFerguson's wrath'I recommended feng shui to Keith Bradshaw, the MCC chief executive, who has also made a good recovery from cancer. I felt that it might help Michael Owen with his string of injuries. He is a natural goalscorer and as long as he gets on the pitch he is bound to do well for them. 'I don't know Michael myself but I know he has had trouble with his fitness and I was keen to help, having been a Manchester United supporter since I first saw Bobby Charlton and Denis Law play. I believe that David passed the message on to Michael, but that is as much as I've heard.'

@1 could at least mouse over the links above, before posting. A bit of respect for BT, please.
Waters: "When people are injured, the principle of triage is: Help those hurt the most first; then help the next most seriously injured; and then help those who are hurt the least seriously, last."
It's even in the Bible, Barry.
This guy stops by every morning and drops his blogwhore, never ever engages. I've flagged him as inappropriate. He just wants to drive traffic to his blog. Easy to ignore, since telling him to go away doesn't seem to work and he's not actually violating any FDL rules.
Good morning all.
The President's Press Secretary happily announced, "The President didn't feel a thing."
Some things always stay the same, even when the earth shakes, econobuzz, 'twould seem.
Re millionaires for Jesus: "In a 7-6 ruling, a panel of Tax Court judges sided with Mr. Driscoll's argument that the word "home" is equivalent to "homes," just as "child" is interpreted to mean "children" elsewhere in the tax code."
Just as the word "corporation" is equivalent to "person". That was easy.
There's a lot of good stuff in the comments to posts on other blogs that used to be totally veal pen. I've often thought that it would be interesting to gather them up daily under the heading, "The Progressive Cherry Picker." Make it a regular thing at FDL.
Of course, it would require a lot of often-depressing reading.
Mornin' All,
granted, the African American electorate is not monolithic, but folks should watch last week's video from Detroit and listen to those citizens – whole lotta people "are tired"
Mornin', BT, pups
I'm wondering just how many "homes" a pastor can live in at a time, like most folks. Can't wait to see the rationale if the exemption is upheld by federal court.
Go Maxine!!
was over at HuffPo last night reading their front pager on the Tar Sands Action – and happened to catch the story on the 50 AG's kicking Schneiderman out of their veal pen – (jaysus, now it's their top story !)
anyhoo, late last night at over 800 comments (now over 2500) and not an apologist/bot to be found – and very, very few of the usual let's blame the GOP crowd
maybe in the ensuing hours, the apologists have shown up, I"ll take a peek, but damn, it was all about Obama's serial coddling and protecting the Banksters – all round disgust and disappointment
Now he's waitin' in the wings when Swim posts. That tells me he's playin' games. Flagged the asshole.
I was dissed at Benen's place the other day for daring to say I'd consider voting for Huntsman and that I wouldn't vote for Obama no matter what. Steve is what I'd consider partly in the veal pen. I rarely comment there, but have noticed a few outspoken commenters who seem to have woken up.
Recognizing they have a problem is the first step. Let's hope they don't stop there.
Yeah, I did too, yesterday. Maybe if enough of us do that, the mods will wake up. I guess it's harmless and easy to ignore. Scroll is my friend!!
There are some spectacular comments on other blogs about all dimensions of all the problems associated with Obama — comments written by folks who voted for him but now have substantive criticisms of him. These comments reflect a much broader agreement with the posts of DDay, Jon, BT, and other FDL front pagers among folks who don't read FDL.
Now there is surely some overlap because some comments are from the same person using a different name. Hey, but what's a little double counting in pursuit of moral justice, right?
Call it a "Barry Sucks" aggregator.
nope, no changes to tone, now over 2600 comments and still holding the reality-based line – wow
I'll have to go take a look. I rarely go to HuffPo unless a link from somewhere else takes me there.
With the heat wave, earthquakes and failing brilliant man structures, BP, Fukushima, haven't the religious right heard God's voice condemning the violent unrelenting consuming ignorant Greed these nutcases stand for ?
God centered the earthquake in the cantor nutcase district.
I don't think he's speaking loud enough yet, better to knock down the Pentagon of Death than another innocent perish for Greed's sake.
Sow the wind reap the whirlwind and it's a Cat 5 storm blowing back at us.
Speaking of scroll, thank you for that link yesterday, SD. Didn't see it until last evening.
been observing that for weeks, citing Big Orange as the most dramatic example – lots of folks still saying they'll vote for him but wont work for him – something tells me those numbers are going to plummet by the time Super Committee completes their assignment
"Say No to Social Justice."
A sign carried by a Tea Party activist at the Pinellas County Commission meeting yesterday.
At least the motherfucker's honest about what they believe.
The problem with Waters' triage principles is that she seems to think she is among those hurt the most.
And damage at the National Cathedral….;( Closed….
They need to change the code to read "one home" with the argument the judge accepted.
Just stinks. The greedy little man. He'll have a very warm eternity.
I was stumbling around looking for Advil this a.m. and muttered "I have a hell of a sinus headache. Climate's about to change."
Didn't realize for a minute what I had said.
I highly recommend Nag Hamadi Library. Nice to see what the people of the time were writing. The books of Elaine Pagels are excellent as well.
I havce 2 Pagels books and think I had something about Nag Hamadi but they must still be packed from moving. And a few years ago I sort of purged my history of early Christianity book shelf. I should know by now never to get rid of a good book.
When one googles "veal pen," Benen's picture should appear. But, in his defense, he does allow some great dissent.
OG, you're usually more temperate than that.
I think the non-stop criticism of Osterity is gettin' to him. He'll be in full blown deaniac83 mode soon.
I think you linked that in one of your earliest comments at the Lake – it is one of my oldest FDL bookmarks
oh, and p.s. firedogs — you'll never guess which story is at the top of the Big Orange Rec List :D
Could be. We had RevBev, RevDeb and a few others and early Christianity was a topic for a while for some reason. Sheesh, that goes back a ways.
Aw, shit, I gotta go over there this early in the mornin'?
On edit: didn't take long for that to go viral. Now, if the dude can only keep it in his pants he might get somewhere.
My thinking exactly, but never could have stated it so aptly. Thank you.
You may have to go over there, I've got to get on the treadmill. AArrggh.
Have a good one, pupses.
It has nothing to do with large underground explosions and turning the bedrock into jelly for fracking idiots. The quake seems to have followed the shale fracking industry. Darth pushed fracking the fracking idiot.

hadn't even thought about fracking wrt to yesterday's shaker yet – although off the top of my head I don't recall much going on in Virginia – will have to take a look
and Cheney may have got the ball rolling but the current guy is a straight up evangelist for the frackers – again and again extolling it's virtue, with the Sierra Club as his backup singers, prattling on about it being "cleaner than coal"
I've been able to get short focused, factual articles published in two local weekly papers, letters to the editor columns, discussing progressive points on several fronts. Not sure of the effects, but trying.

I have a perfectly good (old) TV that I have not turned on all summer. I stopped my Netflix for a couple of months, but it just resumed. I do watch movies in the winter. I don't have cable either, and what I watch is mostly online (like Rachel Maddow). I think the article said Moyers' show would be available online, not sure.
Indeed the decision on multiple homes for clergy was an easy one. I worked in this area for years and am surprised the IRS chased him. For the record Churches and clergy do pay income taxes – the clergy on the regular 1040 form and the Church on the IRS 990 form
But the "win" on multiple homes did not reversed his tax evasion conviction. A Chattanooga, Tenn., jury convicted Mr. Driscoll in 2006 of conspiracy and tax evasion (evasion of over $1 million -convicted on conspiracy and tax evasion charges stemming from using his ministry to hide income between 1996 and 1999 – paying for unnecessary fancy cars, his wake bills for his mom and other personal items – giving him a year in prison).
Blue Texan seems to have picked up on a vibe the left does not need – to act happy win someone into religion goes down in the media, and unhappy when they do not go down far enough to please the writer.

Nike Back To The Future Trainers 'Out In 2015'
Back To The Future-style self-lacing trainers are set to become a reality in 2015, according to a Nike designer.
Tinker Hatfield said the company was working on power laces like those worn by time-travelling teenager Marty McFly in the classic film series.
He told trainer news website Sole Collector: "Are we gonna see power laces in 2015? To that, I say yes!"
Back To The Future II, set in 2015, includes a scene where McFly, played by Michael J Fox, slips on a pair of Nike High Tops that adjust automatically to his feet.
The company applied for a patent for "automatically lacing trainers" in 2010.
A year later Nike produced illuminating trainers based on those worn by McFly - the Nike Mag.
A total of 1,500 pairs were auctioned off to raise money for the Michael J Fox Foundation, raising £3.4m ($5.7m).
Fox has Parkinson's and his organisation funds research into the disease.
Among those who bought the shoes were UK rapper Tinie Tempah - who spent £24,000 ($40,000) to own the first available pair - and fellow musicians Kanye West and Kid Cudi.

A Night On Bald Mountain (Elektro Mix)
THE ACTUAL TITTILE IS "In the Hall of The Mountain King" for all of you who don't know that out there.
If you decide to review this please also include what you categorize this as, I wasn't quite sure.
DJ InTheDark
*EDIT* Made it to top 10, thanks a shit load to everyone who helped!!!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Haha, awesome.
Pretty cool :D
There are lots of remixes of In the Hall of the Mountain King, this one's really good imo.
The orchestra hits are a good touch.
Every once in a while the drums kinda screw with your perspective and it sounds really cool, so good work.
(Also, A Night On Bald Mountain is a totally different song. Just sayin')
Work on the mixing a little and this will be a little better.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
My only advice is-
Do your research before you give a song a title. Like you said, this is "In the Hall of the Mountain King". "A Night on Bald Mountain" is a completely different song by a completely different composer. Not bad, nonetheless.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Seems... Unfinished.
Also, Night on Bald Mountain is not the same song as Hall of the mountain king.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
WOW - A simply amazing composition!
What an awesome track! - GREAT JOB 10/10!!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I gotta say, the start reminded me of Inspector Gadget dno why xD
One hell of a good song, nicely put together.
10/10 - 5/5

Minnesota Department Of Health Regulations Limits Sales Of 'Cottage Foods'
Have you ever purchased a tasty cookie, or other baked goods from a community event?
Well a series of Minnesota regulations from the State Department of Health makes those sales of cottage foods illegal. "Cottage foods" are defined by the Minnesota State Department of Health as food products produced at home and offered for sale.
According to Watchdog.org Minnesota, two Minnesotan bakers Jane Astramecki and Mara Heck are suing the state of Minnesota for the cottage food regulations.
The law states an individual baker can't make more than $5,000 a year even when selling legally without facing fines, fees and possible jail time.
Astramecki says "Minnesota bakers ought to be able to sell however many treats they want, from wherever they want."

Buckle: We're ready
Torquay manager Paul Buckle feels his team are fit and ready to take on Northampton in the League Two kick-off at Plainmoor on Saturday.Out of nine friendly games over the past three weeks, the Gulls have claimed seven victories, including a 1-0 win over Yeovil this weekend.Speaking to the Herald Express, Buckle said: "I'm delighted with the way pre-season has gone. We look fit, we've won games, and we look ready."We've worked very hard and played nine games with the Exeter game behind closed doors.""We've played lots of football and we've gone a different route this season in terms of having more games."But I think we're looking good on the back of it. We look very sharp, and I asked the players (against Yeovil) to try and get up to speed as much as they could ready for the game against Northampton."

Ever since the Space Shuttle fleet was retired last year, several spacecraft have gone to new homes for the public to enjoy. Their journeys have often been spectacular, such as the Enterprise flying over New York and Discovery soaring above Washington D.C. However it seems that Endeavour's final 12-mile journey to its new home at the California Science Center is causing controversy – as over 400 trees are being cut down to make way for the spacecraft as it travels through the streets of Los Angeles.
The California Science Center is located in South L.A., and many locals have had their trees cut down. The Center has vowed to replant twice as many trees along the route once the shuttle completes its journey from the Los Angeles International Airport, however the move has still irked local residents. Speaking to the LA Times, Lark Galloway-Gilliam, a longtime Leimert Park resident and neighborhood council director said: "They are cutting down these really big, majestic trees. It will be beyond my lifetime before they will be tall like this again."
There are also concerns that the new trees will not be as 'full' as the mature magnolias they replace. Not just that, but it is thought that the new, young, wiry trees will depreciate property values simply because they aren't as impressive.
However LA officials believe that the historical significance of having Endeavour in the city will make up for the cutting down of the trees. "It is a historical artifact and national treasure," said California Science Center president Jeffrey Rudolph. "The community understands that and recognizes that it will help inspire the next generation of explorers." Over its two decade career, Endeavour circled the Earth more than 4,600 times and spent 299 days in space.
There were other ideas to get the shuttle to the Science Center, such as disassembling it, but it was feared that it would do lasting damage to the craft. It's also too heavy to be winched in by helicopters. The shuttle's final route will follow Manchester Boulevard to Crenshaw Drive, then onto Crenshaw Boulevard and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard – wide roads with no low bridges.

I am so disappointed and find the entire "show" shameful. They should have exhausted every effort and took every measure before cutting any trees. For instance, using cranes or moving it on a slant are just two simple ways in which this "parade" could have been accomplished. More over; the exploration of space relies on the ozone layer which requires a healthy planet… bottom line, "trees" are an essential link for the survival "our" planet. For years, research studies have proven that "our" planet desperately needs a commitment from each one of us in order to insure a cleaner, healthier world. I am shocked that any agency that is part of the space or science industry would even consider chopping one tree down. Shame on them! Granite, the study and exploration of space in crucial however, has it cured any of the following killers of our fellow humans like; Cancer? ALS? Parkinsons? Huntington's? AIDS or, any other crippling disease… has the travel of space even cured the common cold?? I am so disappointed in the "ONE" agency that supposedly "relies on a healthy world," didn't do more to stop this. Not forgetting, all the residents that have now had their neighborhoods changed forever… all the families that have grown up in those neighborhoods and have purchased homes with majestic trees in place and are now, forever gone. Regardless if they plant "two" trees for every "one" cut, it takes hundreds of years to grow and become established so who are they kidding! Lastly; CALIFORNIA IS IN A MESS OF TROUBLE… the "millions" of dollars spent on trees could have saved thousands of jobs, kept schools and court houses open which, ultimately, would have been money well spent. Shame on you for not "thinking outside the box"… after all, if you can explore space, I think the highly trained engineers could have put on a better parade without cutting down trees!

Did anyone think to transport the shuttle on it's side. At a 90 degree bank. With one wing tip straight up 85 feet high. Getting the picture? Power line can go up and down but trees can not.
It could be done.

Thanks so much csuti and Ark.
thanks for this info
I don't know if this was posted here, but it's a useful little proggy so I'll just post it anyway.
For those of you who are Ps crazy, and have a MASSIVE ammount of brushes, but can't do anything with them because you don't even know what most of them are... well here's something for you.
This program lets you view your brush packs without having to open Ps.
If you open a brush pack, it shows a thumbnail of each brush in that pack.
You can even change the thumbnail size to your liking.
And if you click on a thumbnail, it shows you the actual brush size, which is nice when the tumbnail is too small to tell what that brush actually is.
So! Enjoy.
Thanks For This Useful Programs ! ^^
Wow that abrviewer is great thx Csuti! Yeah Im a photoshop fanatic but another cheap alternative is the ever popular GIMP, am sure its been mentioned before but will repost it anyway. It has quite a great base on the internet which means there are loads of downloads for it So alhtough the base program is not that useful a few downloads later and you have some great uses for it...

Particular auto trailers are an incredible approach to move things from A to B, assuming that you don't have enough room in the storage compartment of your vehicle. They might be snared to any kind of auto with the right tow bar and afterward towed along by the auto, without any need for an extra motor. Each day, a huge number of individuals worldwide use particular auto trailers to make their lives a tad simpler. Individual auto trailers are accessible to purchase or rent and which result you pick might rely on upon what your requirements are.
Leasing a Trailer
Leasing a trailer is a top notch thought assuming that you require a trailer for an one off work, for example moving house. Provided that you are just moving toward requiring the trailer once, then you can pick the definite size of trailer that you require for that employment, and after that contract it from the rental shop. Rental is likewise an incredible thought for the individuals who don't have enough room at their property to for all time and safely keep a trailer. Trailer rentals normally accompany guidance from a partner to help you to contract a vehicle which is suitable to be towed by your auto; however some contract shops don't offer the same level of aid. Provided that you procure trailers a couple of times, you might need to use a while working out how to effectively couple every particular trailer with your auto. Assuming that you have to utilize a trailer more than once, leasing one can wind up being quite unreasonable.
Purchasing a Trailer
Assuming that you uncover that you have to utilize an individual auto trailer a great deal, it is presumably best to purchase one, instead of rent one again and again. Assuming that you utilize a trailer consistently, the expense of procuring one will rapidly include. When you really own a trailer, you might wind up uncovering that it is exceptionally advantageous for various things other than the definitive expected reason! Assuming that you choose that you need to purchase one, you may as well think about your present and future needs before you bind to anything, or you might uncover that you have to trade it for a greater trailer, later down the line. You may as well likewise consider what amount of space you have outside your property for saving a trailer or if you have any elective spots where a trailer could be safely stopped.

The series follows Dexter, a boy-genius with a secret laboratory filled with his inventions. He constantly battles his sister Dee Dee, who always gains access despite his best efforts to keep her out, as well as his arch-rival and neighbor, Mandark. The series' first two seasons contain additional segments: Dial M for Monkey, which focuses on Dexter's pet lab-monkey-turned-superhero, and The Justice Friends, about a trio of superheroes who share an apartment.
Tartakovsky first pitched the series to Hanna-Barbera's animated shorts showcase World Premiere Toons, basing it on student films he produced while attending the California Institute of the Arts. A pilot aired on Cartoon Network in February 1995, and in August viewer approval ratings convinced the network to order a half-hour series, which premiered on April 28, 1996. By 1999, 52 episodes and a television movie had been produced, and Tartakovsky then left the series to begin work on his other projects, Samurai Jack and Star Wars: Clone Wars. In 2001, the network revived the series under a different production team at Cartoon Network Studios, and after 26 more episodes, the series ended on November 20, 2003.
Dexter's Laboratory received high ratings and became one of Cartoon Network's most popular and successful original series. During its run, the series was nominated for 4 Primetime Emmy Awards, 4 Golden Reel Awards, and 9 Annie Awards, winning 3 additional Annie Awards. The series is notable for helping launch the careers of several cartoonists, such as Craig McCracken (The Powerpuff Girls, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and Wander Over Yonder), Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, American Dad! and The Cleveland Show), Butch Hartman (The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom and T.U.F.F. Puppy), and Rob Renzetti (My Life as a Teenage Robot). Spin-off media include comic books, DVD and VHS releases, music albums, collectible toys, and video games.
The series revolves around Dexter (voiced by Christine Cavanaugh in seasons 1–2; Candi Milo in seasons 3–4), a boy-genius with a secret laboratory filled with highly advanced equipment hidden behind a bookcase in his bedroom. Access to the laboratory is achieved by speaking various passwords or by activating hidden switches on his bookshelf (e.g. pulling out a specific book). Though highly intelligent, Dexter often fails at what he has set out to do when he becomes overexcited and makes careless choices. He manages to keep the lab a secret from his clueless, cheerful parents (voiced by Jeff Bennett and Kath Soucie), who never notice any evidence of the laboratory. Although he comes from a typical all-American family, Dexter speaks with a thick accent of indeterminate origin. Cavanaugh described it as "an affectation, some kind of accent, we're not quite sure. A small Peter Lorre, but not. Perhaps he's Latino, perhaps he's French. He's a scientist; he knows he needs some kind of accent."[1] Genndy Tartakovsky explained, "He considers himself a very serious scientist, and all well-known scientists have accents."[2]
Dexter is frequently in conflict with his hyperactive older sister, Dee Dee (voiced by Allison Moore in seasons 1 and 3; Kathryn Cressida in seasons 2 and 4). In spite of Dexter's advanced technology, Dee Dee eludes all manner of security and, once inside, delights in playing in his laboratory, often wreaking havoc with his inventions. Though usually destructive, Dee Dee occasionally outsmarts her brother and even gives him helpful advice. For his part, Dexter, though annoyed by his intrusive sibling, feels a reluctant affection for her and will come to her defense if she is imperiled.
Dexter's nemesis is a rival boy-genius from his school named Susan "Mandark" Astronomonov[3][4] (voiced by Eddie Deezen). Mandark also has his own laboratory, but his schemes are generally evil and designed to gain power while downplaying or destroying Dexter's accomplishments. As the series progresses, Mandark becomes significantly more evil, with his laboratory darker-looking, industrial, and angular in contrast to his original brightly lit lab with rounded features. Because Dexter's inventions are often better than his, Mandark tries to make up for this by stealing Dexter's plans. Mandark's weakness is his love for Dee Dee, though she ignores him and never returns his affections.
Most episodes of Dexter's Laboratory are divided into three different stories or segments, each one being approximately 8 minutes in length. Occasionally, the middle segment centered around characters from the Dexter's Laboratory universe other than Dexter and his family. Two of these segments were shown, primarily during the first season: Dial M for Monkey and The Justice Friends.[5] Dial M for Monkey was the middle segment for the first six episodes of season one, and The Justice Friends took its place for the rest of the season.
The Dial M for Monkey shorts feature Dexter's pet laboratory monkey, Monkey (vocal effects by Frank Welker), whom Dexter believes is an ordinary monkey and nothing more. In contrast, Monkey secretly has superpowers and fights evil as the superhero Monkey. Monkey is joined by his partner Agent Honeydew (voiced by Kath Soucie), the Commander General (voiced by Robert Ridgely and later Earl Boen), and a team of assembled superheroes. Dial M for Monkey was created by Genndy Tartakovsky, Craig McCracken, and Paul Rudish.[6]
The Justice Friends consists of Major Glory (voiced by Rob Paulsen), Valhallen (voiced by Tom Kenny), and the Infraggable Krunk (voiced by Frank Welker), a team of superheroes who are all roommates living in an apartment complex called Muscular Arms. Most of the adventures of the trio deal less with their lives as superheroes and more with their inability to get along as roommates; it is presented as a sitcom, including a laugh track. Genndy Tartakovsky's inspiration for The Justice Friends came from reading Marvel Comics when he was learning how to speak English.[7] Tartakovsky stated in an interview with IGN that he was somewhat disappointed with how The Justice Friends turned out, saying, "it could have been funnier and the characters could have been fleshed out more."[8]
Between the three main segments in seasons one and two are brief mini-segments, many of which feature only Dexter and Dee Dee. Other characters from the series may star in them also, such as "The Puppet Pals", two live-action puppets named Puppet Pal Mitch (voiced by Rob Paulsen) and Puppet Pal Clem (voiced by Tom Kenny).
Dexter's Laboratory was inspired by one of Genndy Tartakovsky's drawings of a ballerina.[9][10] After drawing Dee Dee's tall, thin shape, he decided to pair her with a short and blocky opposite, Dexter, inspired by Tartakovsky's older brother Alex.[11] The series was animated in a stylized way, which Tartakovsky says was influenced by the Merrie Melodies cartoon The Dover Boys at Pimento University.[12] Dexter's Laboratory, however, was staged in a cinematic way, rather than flat and close to the screen, to leave space and depth for the action and gags. Tartakovsky was also influenced by other Warner Bros. cartoons, Hanna-Barbera, Japanese mecha anime, and the UPA shorts. Tartakovsky has said the character Dexter was designed "as an icon"—his body is short and squat and his design is simple, with a black outline and relatively little detail. Since he knew that he was designing the show for television, he purposely limited the design to a certain degree, designing the nose and mouth, for instance, in a Hanna-Barbera style to animate easily.[13]
Dexter's Laboratory, along with Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, The Powerpuff Girls, and Courage the Cowardly Dog, became responsible for pushing Cartoon Network in a new direction focusing on original programming and "character-driven" cartoons.[14] After enrolling at the California Institute of the Arts in 1990 to study animation, Tartakovsky wrote, directed, animated, and produced two short films that would become the basis for the series.[15] Dexter's Laboratory was then made into a seven-minute pilot as a part of Cartoon Network's What a Cartoon! project, promoted as World Premiere Toons, which debuted on February 26, 1995.[16] Viewers worldwide voted through phone lines, the Internet, focus groups, and consumer promotions for their favorite short cartoons; the first of 16 animated shorts to earn that vote of approval was Dexter's Laboratory.[6] In August 1995, Turner ordered six half-hours of the series, which would include two cartoons around one spin-off segment titled Dial M for Monkey.[6] The show premiered as a half-hour series on TNT on April 27, 1996, and on April 28 on Cartoon Network and TBS Superstation.[17] Mike Lazzo, then-head of programming for the network, said that Dexter's Laboratory was his favorite of the 48 shorts, commenting "We all loved the humor in brother-versus-sister relationship".[18]
A second season premiered on Cartoon Network on July 16, 1997.[5] Allison Moore, the voice of Dee Dee and a college friend of Genndy Tartakovsky, left the show after the first season because she was no longer interested in voice acting. The role was subsequently recast with Kathryn Cressida.[19] Dexter's Laboratory ended its initial run in 1998 after two seasons, with the second season lasting 39 episodes, a notable record for a single TV production season on Cartoon Network.[20] The initial series finale was "Last But Not Beast", which differed from the format of the other episodes in that it was not a collection of cartoon shorts, but was a single 25-minute episode. In 1999, Tartakovsky returned to direct Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip, an hour-long television movie.[21] This was the last Dexter's Laboratory production that Tartakovsky was involved with and was originally intended to be the final conclusion to the series. The special was hand-animated, though the character and setting designs were subtly altered. The plot follows Dexter on a quest through time as he finds out his future triumphs.[21] Christine Cavanaugh won an Annie Award for her voice performance as Dexter in Ego Trip for "Outstanding Individual Achievement for Voice Acting By a Female Performer in an Animated Television Production".[22]
On February 21, 2001, Cartoon Network announced the series had been picked up for a 13-episode third season.[23] The new episodes, which ran for two more seasons, had a different production team than the originals due to Genndy Tartakovsky working on Samurai Jack and Star Wars: Clone Wars.[7][24] MacFarlane and Hartman had left Time Warner altogether at this point, focusing on Family Guy and The Fairly OddParents, respectively.[25][26] Beginning with season three, Chris Savino took over as the creative director for the show in the absence of Tartakovsky. Later in season four, Savino was also promoted to producer giving him further control over the show, such as the budget.[27] This second line of episodes featured noticeably different visual designs, minor inconsistencies with the original episodes both in storyline and in visuals, and different sound effects. Christine Cavanaugh retired from voice acting in 2001 for personal reasons and was replaced by Candi Milo as the voice of Dexter for the majority of these new episodes, though Cavanaugh still voiced Dexter for the first few episodes of the third season.[20] In addition, Allison Moore briefly returned as Dee Dee's voice before Cressida once again assumed the role.
Directors and writers on the series included Genndy Tartakovsky,[28] Craig McCracken,[28] Seth MacFarlane,[25] Butch Hartman,[26] Rob Renzetti,[29] Paul Rudish,[28] John McIntyre,[30] and Chris Savino.[31]

Dexter's Laboratory broadcast 78 half-hour episodes over 4 seasons during its 7-year run. Two pilot shorts were produced for World Premiere Toons that aired in 1995 and 1996 and were subsequently fused into the series' first season. Fifty-two episodes were produced over the original run from 1996 to 1998, which was followed by the TV movie Ego Trip in 1999. An additional 26 episodes were produced and broadcast from 2001 to 2003. The short "Chicken Scratch" debuted theatrically with The Powerpuff Girls Movie in 2002 and was later broadcast as a segment in the series' fourth and final season.[32]
On November 16, 2001, Cartoon Network aired the 12-hour "Dexter Goes Global" marathon in 96 countries and 12 languages.[33] The marathon featured fan-selected episodes of Dexter's Laboratory and culminated with the premiere of the first two episodes of season 3.[33] On January 16, 2006, the series began airing in reruns on Cartoon Network's sister channel Boomerang; the occasion was marked by a 12-hour Martin Luther King, Jr. Day marathon.[34] On March 30, 2012, the series returned to Cartoon Network in the United States in reruns on the revived block, Cartoon Planet.[35] The Canadian version of Cartoon Network airs reruns as well, with the series being featured on the channel's launch on July 4, 2012.[36] The launch was commemorated by parent network Teletoon, which aired Cartoon Network-related programming blocks and promotions in the weeks leading up to the event, including episodes of Dexter's Laboratory.[37]
The segment "Dial M for Monkey: Barbequor" aired as part of the fourth episode of the first season, but was removed from rotation after a few years of being broadcast in the United States. The short features a character named the Silver Spooner (a spoof of the Silver Surfer), which was perceived by Cartoon Network as a stereotype of gay men.[38][39] In later broadcasts and on the Season One DVD (Region 1), the banned segment has been replaced with "Dexter's Lab: A Story", an episode from season two.[40]
During the initial run of Dexter's Lab, a segment titled "Rude Removal" was produced. The short involves Dexter creating a "rude removal system" to diminish Dee Dee's rudeness; however, it instead creates highly rude clones of both siblings. The episode was only shown during certain animation festivals and was never aired on Cartoon Network due to the characters swearing, even though the swear words were censored.[41] Tartakovsky commented that "standards didn't like it."[42] Linda Simensky, then-vice president of original programming for Cartoon Network, said "I still think it's very funny. It probably would air better late at night."[41] Fred Seibert, president of Hanna-Barbera Cartoons from 1992 to 1996, has attested to the existence of the short.[42]
In October 2012, Genndy Tartakovsky was asked about the episode during an AMA on Reddit, and he replied "Next time I do a public appearance I'll bring it with me!".[43] Adult Swim later asked fans on Twitter if there was still any interest in the episode, and the response was "overwhelming".[44][45] The episode was finally uploaded on YouTube and AdultSwim.com on January 22, 2013,[46] although it was removed after a few days.
Since its debut, Dexter's Laboratory has been one of Cartoon Network's most successful original series, being the network's highest-rated original series in both 1996 and 1997.[47] Internationally, the series garnered a special mention for best script at the 1997 Cartoons on the Bay animation festival in Italy.[48] In 1998 and 1999, a Dexter balloon was featured in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade alongside many other iconic characters, including the titular piglet from the movie Babe whom Christine Cavanaugh also voiced.[49][50] The show was also part of the reason for Cartoon Network's 20% ratings surge over the summer of 1999.[51] The series' July 7, 2000, telecast was the network's highest-rated original telecast of all time among households (3.1), kids 2–11 (7.8), and kids 6–11 (8.4), with a delivery of almost 2 million homes.[52] On July 31, 2001, it scored the highest household rating (2.9) and delivery (2,166,000 homes) of any Cartoon Network telecast for that year.[53] Dexter's Laboratory was also one of the network's highest-rated original series of 2002.[54]
Former Cartoon Network president Betty Cohen's favorite animated shows was Dexter's Laboratory.[51] Rapper Coolio has also said that he is a fan of the show and was happy to do a song for the show's soundtrack at Cartoon Network's request, stating, "I watch a lot of cartoons because I have kids. I actually watch more cartoons than movies."[55] In a 2012 top 10 list by Entertainment Weekly, Dexter's Laboratory was ranked as the fourth best Cartoon Network show.[56] In 2009 Dexter's Laboratory was named the 72nd best animated series by IGN, with editors remarking, "While aimed at and immediately accessible to children, Dexter's Laboratory was part of a new generation of animated series that played on two levels, simultaneously fun for both kids and adults."[57]

Characters from Dexter's Laboratory appeared in a 150,000-print magazine called Cartoon Network, published by Burghley Publishing and released in the United Kingdom on August 27, 1998.[66] DC Comics printed four comic book volumes featuring Dexter's Laboratory. It first appeared in Cartoon Network Presents, a 24-issue volume showcasing the network's premiere animated programming at the time, which was produced from 1997 to 1999. In 1999, DC gave the show its own 34-issue comic volume, which ran until 2003. DC also ran a Cartoon Cartoons comic book from 2001 to 2004 that frequently contained Dexter's Laboratory stories. This was superseded by Cartoon Network Block Party, the final issue of which was released in September 2009. In February 2013, IDW Publishing announced a partnership with Cartoon Network to produce comics based on its properties. Dexter's Laboratory was one of the titles announced to be published.[67] The first issue is due in April 2014.[68]
Dexter's Laboratory first appeared in home media on three VHS tapes made widely available in the early 2000s. Episodes had not been officially released prior to this, with the exception of a complete series DVD collection given as a contest prize. Warner Brothers stated in a 2006 interview that they were "...in conversations with Cartoon Network" for DVD collections of various cartoons, among which was Dexter's Laboratory.[69] Madman Entertainment released the complete first season and the first part of the second season in Region 4 in 2008.[70][71] A Region 1 release of the first season was released by Warner Home Video on October 12, 2010.[72] The release was the third in an official release of several Cartoon Cartoons on DVD, under the "Cartoon Network Hall of Fame" name.[72] The complete series with the exception of the Ego Trip TV movie and the unaired "Rude Removal" segment became available on iTunes in 2010.[73] The first two seasons of Dexter's Laboratory have been released on Netflix.[74]

as your heart beat quickly fading your breath's were short your last words, no louder than a whisper
"god bless america"
