that at last their true nature could not reveal itself;...

prevents him from becoming perfectly transparent to himself;

he may be so inexplicably woven into relationships of life
which extend far beyond himself that he almost cannot reveal himself.
But he who cannot reveal himself cannot love,
and he who cannot love is the most unhappy man of all.

Group slams ‘Education Act of 1982’

ON THE 30th year of the Education Act of 1982, the National Union of Students of the Philippines (NUSP) called on the government  and legislators for a better, genuinely pro-student law.

“The past 30 years under the Education Act have shown no significant improvement in the education sector; the Philippine education sector is still in crisis,” said NUSP Secretary-General Isabelle Baguisi.

NUSP pointed to the high tuition fees, high drop-out rates, and low number of government investment in education as markers of the crisis. The government’s own data shows that for every 100 grade 1 students, only 14 will finish tertiary education, largely due to financial issues.

“We are calling on our legislators to review, re-examine and, ultimately, repeal this law. The “deregulation” in this law only gives rise for schools to further pursue profiteering for themselves at the cost of quality education for the youth. It has left millions of young people without a chance at getting good education and it will continue to prevent equitable access to education if it is allowed to remain in place,”Baguisi said.

She said the Education Act of 1982 gives private institutions a freehand in determining curricula, tuition rates, and courses offered.

3 Nigerians Arrested With $1.4m Worth Of Cocaine In India

Nigerian, identified as Eneh Wilfried Amobi, has been arrested in India for allegedly possessing cocaine worth $1.4m at a suburban railway station in Mumbai.

The Indian newspaper, The Hindustan Times said a team from the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) caught him after a tip-off by a ticket checker.

According to an official, Wilfried Amobi, 47, was caught with a large quantity of contraband.

“Wilfried said he was as a tourist and as he wanted $200 to return home, he offered to smuggle the drug,” Kumar Sanjay Jha, NCB zonal director, Mumbai and Goa region told HT. The drugs weighing 1.3kg was to be delivered to someone in the city, an official said.

The drugs were concealed in courier packets and were in his bag.

“As foreign nationals are asked to show passports even for domestic flights, couriers prefer trains,” said Jha.

The agency said Amobi was one among the many couriers entrusted by a city-based cartel to smuggle the drugs into the city.

“We suspect that at least four people were involved. The packets changed hands at various railway stations to dodge authorities,” said Jha.

According to the police, the suspects booked tickets in first class AC, second AC and AC 3 tier.

According to a source, Amobi got down from the Delhi-Mumbai Rajdhani Express and was about to take a local train. A ticket checker stopped him and asked for a ticket. NCB said it was all part of a trap to buy time after which Wilfried was caught.

According to the NCB, cocaine is a higher class party drug, which is in huge demand. It is costly and used to enhance sexual performance, stated the agency. NCB suspects that the gang has their presence in other cities as well where the drug is being circulated through local peddlers.

In a report on 9 May, the Hindustan Times also reported that Nigerians topped the list of foreigners arrested for drug smuggling in Navi Mumbai over the past five years.

According to the sources from the anti-narcotic cell of Navi Mumbai police, a total of 66 narcotic related cases were registered between 2012 and April, this year in the city. Nigerian nationals were involved in 14 of these cases, the police said.

Since 2012, the police have arrested 14 foreign nationals for smuggling drugs to the city and 13 of them were from Nigeria, while one was from Ghana.

Barely a week ago, the police arrested one Nigerian from Kopar Khairane who had come to sell mephedrone rock and powder. Around 25 gramme of the drug in powder form and 85 gramme in rock form collectively worth Rs 3.30 lakh was seized from his possession.

As far as foreign nationals are concerned, several Bangladeshis were also arrested in the city for different crimes. But they were mainly into fake currency notes scam, cheating, theft and robbery. None of them was arrested for trading drugs.

Tushar Doshi, deputy commissioner of police (special branch) said, “When it comes to drug smuggling by foreign nationals, by and large, all the criminals are from Africa in general and from Nigeria in particular. The number of foreign nationals including those from Africa has also increased in the city over the past two years.”

DEPARTMENT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, FOOD AND RURAL AFFAIRS News Release (302/04) issued by the Government News Network on 29 July 2004

To help the fight against global warming, the UK today joined a US-led partnership that seeks to cut global methane gas emissions.

The Methane to Markets Partnership, launched in Washington yesterday (Wed), aims to promote methane recovery and use as a clean energy source to foster sustainable economic growth.

It will focus, through sector working groups, on schemes such as landfill gas to energy projects, methane recovery at underground coal mines and improvements in natural gas system operations. It aims to reduce net methane emissions by up to 50 million metric tons of carbon equivalent by 2015.

Environment Minister Elliot Morley welcomed the US proposal, saying it was a valuable initiative in the global campaign to reduce greenhouse gases, while stressing that tackling carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions remained the single largest challenge in combating climate change. Carbon dioxide emissions in the UK in 2002 were 12 times higher than methane emissions.

“Methane is one of the six greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol and is second only in importance to CO2 as a contributor to global warming.

We are happy to join others in an international partnership, comparable to the international partnerships on hydrogen and carbon sequestration, which both involve the US and the UK. We will continue to use every opportunity to cut greenhouse gases and help with UK and international emissions reduction targets.”

Mr Morley said the UK had an excellent record on lowering methane emissions. Latest figures show that the UK has reduced its methane emissions by 43 per cent over the last 12 years. This is primarily due to cuts in emissions from the disposal of solid waste on land and from coal mines.

“We look forward to contributing our experience to the partnership, as well as learning from it.

Cooperation in multilateral partnerships is a good way to help countries find effective ways of reducing emissions. Such partnerships are a valuable complement to international action through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which is the main forum for tackling climate change globally.”

Notes to Editors

1. The US is committing 53m over five yeas to the Methane to Markets Partnership. Countries that have agreed to support the initiative are India, Australia, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Japan, Mexico and Italy.

2. Emissions of methane decreased by 9 mega tonnes of carbon equivalent (43 per cent) between 1990 and 2002 (Source: UK Greenhouse Gas Inventory 1990-2002). There were falls in all sources – landfill, underground mines, agriculture, oil production, post-mining activity, leakage from gas transmission/distribution system, oil exploration, road transportation and residential).

Immediate Action Required to Save Model for Post-Peak Sustainability in Cities

March 3, 2006 1130 PST (FTW) – In L.A.’s Havana Experiment FTW told you the dramatic and compelling story of what 350 families have done over a 13-year period with a 14 acre plot of land in a depressed inner city. They are feeding themselves with organically grown and healthy produce that requires zero fossil-fuel inputs and requires virtually no transportation expense. This is being done on soil that was once paved, covered, depleted and ignored. More than anything else, this is the one area of effort most essential for America’s (and the world’s) major cities to pursue as Peak Oil takes its first deadly bites.

Two days ago the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department unceremoniously posted an eviction notice on the farm’s gate calling for the farm to be vacated by March 6th (next Monday). That would leave current crops in the ground to be plowed under by a developer’s bulldozers. The intended replacement for the farm is a warehouse intended to serve (primarily) Wal-Mart.

No one has better articulated what is at stake here than USC Professor Clara Irazábal who today in an impassioned letter to LA Mayor Antonio Villarraigosa, completed after 3 AM this morning, wrote:

[T]he relevant question is not whether this urban farm should be preserved. This is the wrong question and one that diminishes the stature of your office and the trust we have invested in you. The question is, rather, how can we best help multiply urban farms like this one throughout Los Angeles and cities of the Americas and the world. As the era of oil inescapably comes to an end, we are going to be faced with the need, whether we like it or not, to live more compactly, thrifty, cooperatively, and in more direct connection with, and responsible for, the production of our own food. In this context, not only does the South Central Farm not constitute a backward use of land in one of the largest and more prominent and modern cities of the world. Instead, it is a model for the future (and the future is now), one that can support the survival of our growing urban civilization. Maintaining the South Central Farm, Los Angeles and you as its mayor have the unique opportunity to become world visionaries and trail breakers.

Although this posting may appear too late today to get people to show up for a hastily organized protest at the Mayor’s office, there are a number of things which must be done immediately to save this incredible experiment; an experiment that is teaching us how to save hundreds of thousands of lives: lives of poor people; lives of disenfranchised; lives of those who are not fortunate enough to move away to an already sustainable region.

The words of Mario Savio ring truer than ever. It is time to throw our bodies into the gears of the machine and grind it to a halt. Some things are worth fighting for and if anything is worth fighting for the South Central Farm is.

If you are in Southern California you can do something. If you are anywhere else, what you can do may be just as important.

In the enclosed links are a sample letter (or email) that can be sent to Mayor Villarraigoasa’s office. There are contact numbers and links for additional activism. There are also instructions on how to actually be at the farm to protest.

If a large enough hue and cry is raised from around the world to focus a laser-like beam on what is at stake here then there might be time. There might be a window for a miracle.

I am cutting off this story now because every minute’s delay in getting this up on FTW’s web site is critical. If you understand Peak oil; if you understand the miracle that is the South Central Farm; and if you are committed to preparing the world and your family for Peak Oil then I won’t have to say more.

There will be many more battles to fight. Let us fight the good fight here and now, today. Were I in LA I would be there myself, willing to and encouraging others to engage in civil disobedience, to get arrested, to stop this travesty. In a ham and eggs breakfast the chicken is involved but the pig is committed. It’s time to drop everything for a moment, as long as it takes, to struggle and to pray for the Miracle on 41st Street.

Coming off the immense and highly popular Golden Era of wrestling. The WWF was on top of the world and with no sign of slowing down in sight. This wave of success would come to an abrupt and screeching halt as numerous roadblocks would emerge that would prove to be nearly impenetrable. From the ashes of the Golden Era and the enormous footprints left by the departed legends of Jake Roberts, Andre the Giant, Roddy Piper, Randy Savage, and the biggest footprint of them all, Hulk Hogan, would rise a new generation of icons, The Next Generation.

The Next Generation Era would begin on June 13, 1993 when Hulk Hogan would make his last WWF appearance for the next 9 years and leave the company amid a steroid scandal that would rock the WWF down to it's very foundation culminated by the trial of Vince McMahon for allowing the shipment of steroids, McMahon would be found not guilty. Following the trial, Hogan would follow his fellow wrestlers and joined a rival promotion in need of a desperate boost, a boost that only Hulk Hogan could provide. More on that promotion later in the article.

The steroid scandal and the falling ratings and revenue due to Hogan's departure cost the WWF dearly as they desperately tried to rise to their feet again. They began by making the promotion more kid friendly and would introduce numerous gimmicky and cartoony characters that would prove to be disastrous (I personally enjoyed them, but that's just me) such as a clown, futuristic cyborg, ninjas, a dentist, and numerous others. Throughout this mess, the WWF would finally find it's icons that would lead them into the future of financial success and wrestling as a whole. The era's newest torch bearers would be a combination of technical wrestling and high flying, charismatic style that would resurrect the WWF to new heights and lay the groundwork for the biggest professional boom in wrestling history. We begin with one of the greatest technical wrestlers of all time, an excellence of execution if you will.

Bret Hart
article image

The Hitman was born into a legendary wrestling family under head patriarch Stu Hart who would personally train his children and children-in-laws. From the guidance and discipline of his legendary father, Bret would hone his skills and become one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Hart would begin to rise through the ranks of the WWF finally emerging as a tag team with his brother-in-law Jim Neidhart as the Hart Foundation that would lead an unbelievably loaded tag team division as Tag Team Champions. Soon the Foundation would run it's course leaving Bret as an up and coming singles wrestler who would emerge from the mid card to become a serious contender for the Intercontinental Championship which he would win from Mr. Perfect in one of the most pitch perfect wrestling matches not seen since Savage and Steamboat. In the midst of the steroid scandal the WWF would break away from their standard heavy built main eventers to the smaller more technical savvy performers, enter Bret Hart who would become the ultimate flag bearer (fallen in the shadow of Hulk Hogan) by becoming WWF Champion and symbolically ushering in the Next Generation as the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. However, Hart would not carry the flag alone, a co holder would also arise from exactly the same path as Hart.

Shawn Michaels
article image

Shawn Michaels just like Hart, started in the tag team division with Marty Jannetty as the Rockers. Although they shared similar paths, Michaels and Jannetty differed greatly from the Hart Foundation's more technical style in favor of a more high flying, athletic style. While Hart and Michaels' journey to the top was the same, the paths couldn't have been more different. While Hart continued being a good guy after the departure of his partner, Michaels would do the complete opposite, turning on his partner and brutally smashing his head through a window effectively turning into a cocky and flamboyant bad boy. After his tag team career ended, Michaels would also rise through the mid card ranks and capture the Intercontinental Championship. While Hart would entertain audiences with his acute and remarkable ground wrestling, Michaels would continue his high flying, death defying, agility, athleticism, and cocky charisma to amaze and delight wrestling fans worldwide. Michaels' style and work ethic enabled him to achieve the impossible task of performing 5 star classic matches with everyone he stepped in the ring with, he could wrestle with a cardboard cut out and make it entertaining. With his unbreakable will, pretty boy charisma, unmatched athleticism, and undying love to perform and give the best show he could possibly give. It's no wonder that the Heartbreak Kid, the Showstopper, the Main Event, and Mr. Wrestlemania arguably deserves another moniker. Greatest superstar of all time.

With Michaels and Hart representing two sides of the same coin, another batch of performers would also help carry the torch to light the darkness of the times. One of which, ironically embraced the darkness.

The Undertaker
article image

When this walking enigma made his first appearance in the WWF, it sent icy chills down the spine of everyone in the audience, especially the children. Undertaker debuted as a supernatural force that could not be stopped, not even the almighty Hulk Hogan could stop this malevolent mortician who could seemingly draw power from a mysterious urn that was carried by his manager Paul Bearer. Whenever an unfortunate soul fell victim to the Undertaker, he would be placed in a cold black body bag as a symbolic and grave conquest to the frightened and tear filled children that not even their hero Hulk Hogan could stop this demon from Death Valley. However through the years the tears and fright would fade away as The Undertaker would undergo several incarnations ranging from a Texas mortician, to a heroic dead man, to a sadistic cult leader, and even to an all American bad ass biker. The Undertaker is one of the most enduring, popular, and loyal superstars ever to come from the WWF. An innovater of numerous classic match types including the Casket, Buried Alive, Inferno, and last but most important Hell in a Cell matches. Throughout his long and impressive career, no matter how many championships he wins or matches he innovates, Undertaker's greatest legacy will without a doubt be his undefeated streak of 20-0 at the grandest stage of them all, Wrestlemania. Whether he's a mortician, demon, or biker, Undertaker will without a doubt be the most respected figures in all of professional wrestling and a true phenom that will stand the test of time.

article image

Before WWF decided to insert smaller, more athletic performers into the main event they decided to unleash a true super heavyweight onto the roster. Coming from a sumo background (character wise), Yokozuna easily dominated all in his path, even wiping out Hulkamania from the face of the WWF. The 600 pound behemoth laid waste to many American challengers in his path in the name of the land of the rising sun. Yokozuna would eventually capture the WWF Championship and become embroiled in major feuds with Bret Hart and Lex Luger (who was the first man ever to bodyslam the rotund monster). Although he may have tragically past away in 2000, Yokozuna will always be remembered as one of the most dominant wrestlers of my lifetime.

article image

This 7 foot tower of a man is one of the most controversial and endearing superstars of all time. Debuting as Shawn Michaels' bodyguard, Diesel would break away in one of the most infamous title matches of all time when he defeated wrestling legend and WWF Champion Bob Backlund in only 8 seconds to become WWF Champion. Diesel would not only make a lasting impact on television but also backstage in the form of the Kliq, a very strategic and close-knit group of friends that consisted of 123 Kid, Hunter Hearst Hemsley, Razor Ramon, Diesel, and led by Shawn Michaels. Diesel would eventually leave the WWF in a major way as he along with Ramon would fire the opening shots in the explosive and vicious Monday Night Wars. Whether he's pulling the prosthetic leg off legend Mad Dog Vachon or using underhanded backstage politics, no figure will drive up as much controversy inside and outside the ring as much as Big Daddy Cool.

Razor Ramon
article image

No one could rival the cool and utter machismo of the bad guy. Gifted with an incredible statuesque body and ultra cool charisma that could almost put the Fonz to shame. Draped with gold chains and toothpick clenched between his teeth Ramon would not only dominate an opponent but humiliate them all at the same time, just cause he was too cool to preoccupy his time with them. Ramon would be involved in one of the most classic and greatest matches of all time, when he competed against Shawn Michaels for the Intercontinental Championship in a Ladder Match, a match that would catapult the Ladder Match concept into the main stage thus creating unbelievable and awe inspiring Ladder Matches in the future. As mentioned above, Ramon's legacy would not only be cemented with the Ladder Match, but with his abrupt arrival at WWF's rival promotion, setting the stage for the Monday Night Wars and the biggest professional wrestling boom of all time. Unfortunately, Ramon's later career has been marred with tragic consequences from numerous drug and alcohol addictions, demons he continues to live with to this day. Whether he can finally lay those demons to rest or God forbid be laid to rest from them. The professional wrestling business should always thank and admire the work and influence from the bad guy, Razor Ramon.

Mr. Perfect
article image

I cannot write an article documenting the Next Generation Era without mentioning a wrestler who was truly perfect. The ultimate combination of magnificent athleticism, commanding personality, and uncanny knack to perfect at every sport imaginable. Perfect would display visually stunning wrestling ability and fierce work ethic that would make him one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Unfortunately, Perfect passed away in 2003, but no one will ever be as athletically gifted, tremendously entertaining, and greatly envied as the man who was simply, perfect.

Now onto the rival promotion that I've been teasing through the last article and a half. The only promotion that has come the closest to dethroning the World Wrestling Federation and sending them into the depths along with the NWA and AWA.

World Championship Wrestling
article image

Founded in 1988 by Ted Turner after Jim Crockett Promotions folded. WCW failed to get off to a hot start, but still managed to acquire some high profile talent and develop their own stars. Leading the newly born promotion were 2 of the greatest and most famous wrestlers of all time, beginning with arguably the greatest of all time.

Ric Flair
article image

If there were ever a wrestler that was larger than life it would truly be the Nature Boy. Flair was born with a rare combination of extraordinary wrestling ability and masterful charisma. Following in the footsteps of his idol Buddy Rogers, Flair truly had a flair (pun intended) for professional wrestling and sports entertainment with his exquisite robes that were truly fit for a king, and a king he was. Flair's promos are the stuff of legend whether he's talking down an opponent or chastising the interviewer for being poor or worse, middle class. Flair is instantly remembered for his catchphrase "WOOOOOO", that blasts through arenas to this day. Flair along with Shawn Michaels are in my opinion the greatest storytellers in the ring, whether he's strutting around the ring, falling flat on his face, or locking in his signature Figure Four leg lock, Flair always demanded the attention to him, and his demands were instantly met, as they should. Flair is also remembered as the leader of the legendary stable The Four Horsemen, along with Arn Anderson, Ole Anderson (no relation), and Tully Blanchard. This group would shake the wrestling world to its very foundation as being the first professional wrestling stable, setting the example for numerous stables in the future. From his regal attire, wrestling technique, illuminating charisma, and lasting legacy, there will hardly be a day when we'll look up and marvel at another Nature Boy, the limousine ridin', jet flyin', wheelin' dealin', son of a gun. The 16 time World Champion put it best when he spouts about being the man you have to beat the man. You could make the case that no one will truly beat this man.

article image

All fans of The Police stop reading now, cause this isn't "that" Sting (who is a great singer by the way, and from what I have heard can endure strenuous activity for long periods of time). This Sting is one of the most prominent faces and greatest icons of professional wrestling. WWF had Ultimate Warrior, WCW had Sting, the face painted, bleach blonde Californian, while both would become icons in their own right, Sting would ultimately rise to be the most recognizable face in all of professional wrestling. Although the face paint would stamp his mark on the business, it would also be his great agility and fabulous athleticism that would define him as the Icon. Even though he was considered great in WCW's first few years, Sting's image wouldn't properly rise until the Monday Night Wars when he emerged as a silent dark figure clad in black with Crow face paint. He would become the WCW's dark knight against the NWO, descending from the ceiling and warding off the enemy, baseball bat in hand. Along with the mentioned NWO and another certain WWF star, Sting would become one of the fore-bearers of the largest professional wrestling boom of all time.

Even though WCW initially had trouble getting off the ground, they would launch the careers of many professional wrestling legends such as Vader and Terry Funk (himself already an established star). WCW's troubles would all be answered in the form of the young and brash Eric Bischoff who would take the reins of the mediocre promotion and guide it to the top of the wrestling world which I will elaborate more on in the next article.

The Next Generation Era is often frowned upon today as wrestling fans look back on the troubled times and embarrassing characters of both promotions, some refer to it as the worst period in the history of professional wrestling. I could not disagree more, while the characters and gimmicks were indeed lame and cringe-worthy they at the least were entertaining and made you laugh (not intently I'm sure). I myself have very fond memories of this era, as it was the era that was front and center during my childhood, call me nostalgic, but I would gladly take this "dark era" over today's any day.

Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, and Undertaker are not the only shining gems that rose from this era. The WWF would debut a brand new weekly wrestling program that would become the company's flagship program.

Monday Night Raw
article image

Debuting on January 11, 1993, Raw would usher in a broader and more mainstream audiences that had never been introduced to professional wrestling before. Raw would grab audiences from a very coveted and desired time slot, primetime. Finally wrestling fans' appetite would be fed as Raw was able to broadcast wrestling weekly, projecting more intriguing storylines and action packed wrestling never before seen with each episode ending on a cliffhanger, soap opera style, causing fans to endure another grueling long week until they tuned in next week to seek some sort of closure.

Not to be outdone however, WCW's new president Eric Bischoff, fresh off of orchestrating a world shattering coup by acquiring Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and Ric Flair (who was briefly at WWF during the time) to WCW, launched a weekly primetime show of his own.

Monday Night Nitro
article image

Debuting on September 4, 1995, Nitro would run head to head against Raw on Monday nights which would be the calm before the storm for the aforementioned Monday Night Wars. Ushering in an era of dirty handed politics and cut throat tactics in order to gain viewers. The wars between these 2 exciting and fresh programs would begin the greatest wrestling era of all time, the likes of which will never ever be seen again.

This concludes The Next Generation Era. Stay tuned for the next installment of my trip down memory lane and continue to document the history of mainstream professional wrestling, which will feature the greatest era in the history of all of professional wrestling (at least in my opinion). Also the continuation of the Monday Night Wars which would lead the WWF to take very drastic measures to save itself from the utter brink of collapse. So long for now and good fight, good night.

I started watching Nick in like 1992, and that's when stuff like Claissa, Ren & Stimpy, Rugrats, Salute Your Shorts, and around the time when Rocko first came out (like somewhere between 1991-1993 I'm pretty sure.) Most of these were made in the 80's but, I do remember some that still played between 1990-1994 like the worms w/the apple and the cowboy & stuff!

    I loved these I look at the crap that they have on there now and I cant stand it. Why change what aint broken? Nick used to be a safe haven away from Japanamation but now... ugghh.... Its just the Spongebob, Avatar, Live Action stupid shows channel.
    YuYuYuuki Posted 2 months 26 days ago
    Nick aired anime back in the 80s and 90s.
    acparson Posted 9 years 11 months ago
    Yes, I remember all of these. God, to be young again.
    gaastra Posted 10 years 19 days ago
    I loved watching these clips back in the 80s.

    I miss my childhood so much!
    glasseye Posted 10 years 2 months ago
    Looking back at my comment from a year ago I'm surprised to find myself claiming to not remember the cowboy clip, because it certainly rings a bell from my childhood when I look at it now. The with the little singing guy in the cup still escapes my memory but that's it. I still love this!
    Furienna Posted 10 years 3 months ago
    I remember a lot of these too!
    EdgeNick Posted 10 years 5 months ago
    the good old days of nick! I remember all of these. The Dinosaur one is from the 1989 days
    shiroihikari Posted 10 years 7 months ago
    I remember some of these, but especially the third and fifth one. I like how a bunch of them have the doo-wop singing going on.
    rnorred06 Posted 10 years 7 months ago
    I am so glad I was a kid in the 90's and not now. I would have missed so much. I feel sorry for kids today because they have to suffer watching horrible lame shows all day and a cegillion repeats of Spongebob. I wish they would come out with a classic nick channel with all the old 90's shows.
    carsonmax Posted 10 years 10 months ago
    How great!!! I remember everyone of these. The old Nick kicked ass!
    meelind Posted 10 years 10 months ago
    I remember all of these! Yup I agree with everyone. These were the good times of Nick. Not just because I was young then, but because they really had better shows.
    SharonTheJedi Posted 10 years 11 months ago
    That was fun! I remember almost all of them. I miss being a kid, at least tv was better! LOL! I still love tv anyway!
    rksexy2finger Posted 11 years 15 days ago
    These bumpers were actually made from somewhere around 1985-1989 but however all of them re-ran through the early 90s. Most I don't remember because I wasn't alive yet in the 1980s I was only born since 1991 and I was too young to remember tv from the early 90s so therefore I only watched nickelodeon from the mid to late 90s and in the early 00s I think the years that I watched nickelodeon from were 1994-2002. Some of these bumpers re-ran through the mid to late 90s because I do remember the cowboy one, the one with the worms singing and the one with the dinosaurs singing. These bumpers that I missed out on look pretty cool though.
    datura Posted 11 years 1 month ago
    These are definitely 80s. The one with the dinosaurs and the fireworks I seem to remember the most clearly
    Warden Posted 11 years 2 months ago
    I don't remember all of these, I think some of them or mabey even most of them are from the 80's.
    glasseye Posted 11 years 2 months ago
    Its amazing how when you're seeing something for the first time in so many years, it suddenly feels like you've seen it just yesterday. Such a nostalgic feel it actually makes my heart rush. I remembered just about all of the posters, with maybe only the cowboy one and one with the singing creature in the cup kind of escaping my memory. I'm forever grateful to whoever posted these. Man do I miss the old days. Nickelodeon was such a great channel for kids that offered so much creativity and imagination, that its depressing what its become these days. Just corporate vapidness now. Glad I was a child when I was.
    andrewrae Posted 11 years 4 months ago
    I want to see more! Anyone got 'em?

    These bumpers were so awesome! Whoever uploaded them let me just say thanks!
    ChowTimer Posted 11 years 6 months ago
    These bumpers were great and I remember of a few of them. This was when Nickelodeon was actually a decent network, since its not that great anymore.
    SaturdayMorningKid Posted 11 years 6 months ago
    These bumpers made Nickelodeon EXTRA special, thank you to whoever uploaded them
    Roadgeek Posted 11 years 9 months ago
    A lot of the songs in those bumpers have that 50's charm.
    jbdbackfan Posted 11 years 9 months ago
    This truely brought back memories of when Nickelodeon was great, and not the crap it is today.
    musicradio77 Posted 11 years 9 months ago
    Those ID's are from the pre-Spongebob era. I usually loved it, but I don't watch that channel anymore. That's just my final thought. They sang too much jingle ID's and throw a few ID such as fireworks (used as a reference to the opening credits of the original "Wonderful World of Disney" back in the 1970's), Those same sound effects was used when it was originally an orgami ID and those weird stuff singing those Nick ID's including Abraham Lincoln at a barber shop. Those are weird ID's during my childhood days.
    kizzie31793 Posted 11 years 9 months ago
    those are SO weird! too much singing!
    jarjar23 Posted 11 years 9 months ago
    ALL of these ID's were made in the mid-80s.
    musicradio77 Posted 11 years 9 months ago
    Well, how many Nick ID's do we have here? They started with the fireworks ID and ended with the 5 potato guys in space singing the ID. What a great montage. These bring back memories. Those were produced back in the 1980's as well as in the early 90's. Sad to see them go. I missed the Nick ID's as a kid.

U.S. private space companies plan surge in launches this year

U.S. private space companies plan surge in launches this year

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (Reuters) - U.S. private space companies Space Exploration Technologies and United Launch Alliance, a partnership of Lockheed Martin and BoeingN>, have scheduled more than 30 launches from Florida this year, up from 18 last year, according to company and Air Force officials.

The jump in planned launches reflects increasing demand for commercial communications and imaging satellites, as well as business from the U.S. military, International Space Station cargo ships and a NASA asteroid sample return mission. SpaceX and ULA fly from pads at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, just south of NASA’s spaceport.

“We want to be able to fly every week, for sure, if not multiple times in a week,” SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell said at a webcast commercial space conference in Washington D.C. on Wednesday.

The launch rate is expected to continue to climb as new companies, including founder Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, enters the market later this decade. The launch services industry generated global revenues of $5.9 billion in 2014, according to a report last year by the Satellite Industry Association.

The first launch from Florida this year is slated for Friday when a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket blasts off to put a Boeing-built Global Positioning System satellite into orbit for the Air Force.

“The last time we saw 30-plus launches would have been back in the 1960s,” said business strategist Dale Ketcham with the state-backed Space Florida economic development agency.

The missions include an air-launched Pegasus rocket, owned by Orbital ATK, which will carry a NASA Earth sciences satellite.

SpaceX and United Launch Alliance also have launch pads at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Orbital ATK is preparing its revamped Antares rocket for launch this year from the Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia. Antares has been grounded since an October 2014 accident.

Florida is working to expand its aerospace business from launches to manufacturing and ultimately into research and development, Ketcham said.

The state is vying to land a satellite manufacturing facility for startup OneWeb LLC, based in Britain’s Channel Islands, which intends to fly a constellation of 720 small satellites to provide broadband Internet services worldwide.

Ohio man exonerated after 39 years in prison, to be released Friday
November 19, 2014 / 10:45 PM / 3 years ago

Ohio man exonerated after 39 years in prison, to be released Friday

CLEVELAND (Reuters) - A Cleveland judge dropped all charges on Wednesday against a man who has spent 39 years in prison for murder, making him the longest-held U.S. prisoner to be exonerated, an attorney for the Ohio Innocence Project said.

Ricky Jackson, 57, will walk free on Friday after paperwork is completed, attorney Mark Godsey said.

Jackson was convicted along with two others for the 1975 murder of Harold Franks, a Cleveland-area money order salesman, after 12-year-old Eddie Vernon testified he saw the attack, according to court documents.

Vernon, now 53, recanted his testimony and told authorities he had never actually witnessed the crime. There was no other evidence linking Jackson to the killing.

Attorneys for the Ohio Innocence Project in March filed a motion for a new trial usafter Vernon told a pastor he was on a school bus at the time of the murder, which other witnesses have confirmed.

Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty said in court Tuesday that without an eyewitness there was not much of a case.

“The state is conceding the obvious,” he said.

Jackson was exonerated by Cuyahoga County Judge Richard McMonagle on Wednesday.

Cleveland police did link a .38 revolver and a green convertible seen at the crime scene to another man who was arrested three years later for aggravated murder in connection with a spree of daytime robberies, according to court records. He was never charged in the murder of Franks.

The two other men convicted with Jackson, brothers Ronnie and Wiley Bridgeman, have also filed for a new trial but those petitions have not been resolved. Ronnie Bridgeman was released in 2003, but his brother remains in prison.

Jackson was originally sentenced to death but that sentence was vacated due to a paperwork error. The Bridgemans remained on death row until Ohio declared the death penalty unconstitutional in 1978.

“One of them came within 20 days of execution before Ohio ruled the death penalty unconstitutional,” Godsey said.

The Act for the
Gradual Abolition of Slavery

by Esther Pavao

Trying to abolish slavery outright was very difficult, and getting a bill passed for the abolition of slavery that was completely unanimous would have been impossible. An act was submitted before Pennsylvania legislature that suggested a gradual freeing of slaves over a span of almost 30 years. It outlined an idea that, if it worked, would have gradually freed slaves and given plantation owners and slaveholders the chance to slowly adapt.

It was monetarily more expedient to buy slaves for life than to pay wages to workers. It saved money and for businessmen, slaves were a very good investment. It would cost approximately $10/day or $3,800 a year to hire a common laborer by one man's estimations. Slaves could cost anywhere from $1,000 upwards for a lifetime of labor. Even if a slave cost $5,000, with two years of labor, he saved his master $2,600. With this in mind, it's a little easier to see why some men fought the abolition of slavery so hard.

It took some time for anything to be passed into law that even began to fight slavery. The Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery was passed by Pennsylvania legislature on March 1, 1780. It was the first act to begin successfully freeing slaves. (Read the full text of the Act here.)

The Act did not attack the rights of slave-owners, and those currently in slavery were not freed by the  Act. In summary:

  • Sections 1 and 2 outline the purpose of the Act.
  • Section three states that all persons born in the state of Pennsylvania after the act was passed are no longer slaves or "lifelong servants of any kind."
  • In Section 4, it goes on to say that even though the children born were not "slaves", they are required to remain in the service of their owners as a type of indentured servant or apprentice until that child is 28 years old. This was an improvement since as indentured servants/apprentices, they had the same privileges, punishments and relief of servitude in case of mistreatment that they did not have hope of as slaves.
  • Section 5 requires all slave-owners to register their slaves annually, names ages, and etc. in order to enforce that the slaves would be freed at age 28 and to keep track of which ones had already been freed. If owners failed to register their slaves, they would have to free them by default.
  • Section 6 reinforces that as soon as the slaves reach 28, owners were required to give them a bill of sale and free them.
  • Section 7 gives slave children (the indentured) the same rights in a court of law as other indentured servants, though as slaves, they were still not allowed to testify against whites.
  • Section 8 promises reimbursement for slave-owners whose slaves were given the death sentence in court, based on the jury's evaluation of the slave's worth.
  • Section 9 covers the punishment for harboring or assisting runaway slaves.
  • Section 10 banned all future slavery and protected every freed man from ever being enslaved again, but excluded visitors to the state or anyone staying less than 6 months. Some people did take advantage of this section by carefully not staying longer than 6 months, leaving, and coming back.
  • Section 11 frees slaves who have run away and been missing for more than 5 years, while allowing owners to recover slaves during this time period.
  • Sections 12 and 13 make longer forms of indentured servitude illegal, regardless of laws in other states.
  • Section 14 repeals any older laws inconsistent with this new law.

Naturally, some people put up quite a fight. Some fought in court. Some just tried to work around it. Some slave-owners moved out of state every six months to exploit the loophole made in Section 10. Some transported pregnant slaves over the state line to have their baby so that it was technically "born into slavery." An amendment was made in 1788 to close this loophole, but it was overrulled as unconstitutional. Far from the 28 years planned, the last slaves in Pennsylvania weren't freed until 1847, 67 years later.

One by one, other states began to adopt the Act. Several states including Massachusetts skipped the gradual and outlawed slavery entirely. The Act, though it didn't work as originally planned, did succeed in legally kick-starting the abolition of slavery.

Whether the Founding Fathers owned slaves is a widely asked question with conflicting answers...

Slavery & the Founding Fathers

Congress amended one of the Articles of Federation, granting slave owners three-fifths of a vote for each slave. This became known as the three-fifths compromise.

Marc O'Polo Discovers RFID's Benefits

Having deployed an EPC UHF system at its 86 European stores, the apparel company says it expects an increase in revenue, thanks to the higher availability of goods on the sales floor.
By Claire Swedberg
Jan 30, 2015

German casual apparel company Marc O'Polo has adopted a radio frequency identification solution to track its products across the entire supply chain, from its distribution center to 86 of its stores throughout Europe. The company finished installing the system at all 87 sites by September 2014, and is now expanding the deployment to include the tagging of products by manufacturers, thereby enabling the retailer to track its merchandise from the point at which they are made. The company is using Detego Suite 4.0, provided by Enso Detego, to capture and manage RFID read data from each tagged item. The system has been taken live at all of Marc O'Polo's retail stores. Enso Detego was able to accomplish the fast deployment with the help of several third-party solution providers: Meco Group, Knoblauch and Tailorit.

Marc O'Polo, headquartered south of Munich, in Stephanskirchen, owns and operates 110 stores worldwide that are dedicated to selling its casual clothing made from natural materials. The company also sells its apparel through 165 franchise stores, 1,190 retail partners and 1,320 multi-brand stores. Its products, which include eyewear and other accessories, cater to young consumers. At its headquarters, the firm operates a DC that receives garments manufactured by third-parties and ships them to its stores as needed. Marc O'Polo reached out to Enso Detego for an end-to-end solution that would increase its supply chain visibility and product availability on the sales floor.

Marc O'Polo's Jana Hildenbrand
"We wished to overcome several challenges," says Jana Hildenbrand, Marc O'Polo's director of sales support and head of the RFID installation project. "Firstly, RFID was implemented to make processes in logistics and stores more efficient, but also to increase time for customer services." By freeing the sales staff from the task of time-consuming inventory tracking, she explains, the system could allow those employees to spend more time with customers. "We wanted to have a higher goods' availability. And last—but not least—we, of course, planned to have an increase in [product sales] turnover."

Marc O'Polo started with a pilot in its boutique at the company's headquarters in 2013, in order to test the system's functionality in a real-world setting. The RFID solution deployed at the boutique provided the ideal environment for testing and approving features and updates, according to Michael Goller, Enso Detego's CTO, and enabled Enso Detego to quickly customize the solution to meet Marc O'Polo's needs.

With the RFID system installed at its distribution center and 86 stores in Europe, the retailer is now encoding a unique ID number to each RFID tag at its headquarters and shipping batches of them to the individual manufacturers. Factory workers are applying an Avery Dennison AD-380 tag to each item. The tagged products are then shipped to the company's DC, Goller says, where they are identified upon receipt via a highly sophisticated RFID infrastructure based on Impinj RFID readers and Kathrein antennas. Beyond the identification at the inbound stage, the Detego Suite 4.0 software provides additional modules to support the individual processes at the DC, such as picking, pack verification and outbound shipping.

At the stores, sales associates use Nordic ID handheld readers to identify received goods and perform reconciliation against the shipping notice. The product's status is automatically updated as it is received at the store, and the store's inventory record is updated as well. Personnel also utilize the Nordic ID readers to perform periodic inventory checks on the store shelves, in order to quickly update the inventory count in the software.

The Loopy Ewe

While I was looking forward to the Yarn Along The Rockies yarn crawl, I was also anxious to see a friend that I hadn't seen in 10 years, and to visit The Loopy Ewe in Fort Collins.  The Loopy Ewe wasn't part of this yarn crawl but participated in an earlier crawl of northern shops.  Yes, there are a LOT of yarn stores within driving distance of Denver!

Click on the picture to enlarge.

It was good to see Jackie again after all these years and to get caught up.  She's been a busy lady with her fabulous designs, company, knitalongs, and much more.  I'm in awe of all she does.  She's so talented. Check out Jackie E-S at HeartStrings FiberArts.

Unfortunately, the picture is a little blurry, but otherwise it's a good shot of the photogenic Jackie.

To say that The Loopy Ewe is nice is a gross understatement.  It's fabulous.  Maybe it's a good thing that I no longer live in Colorado as I'm sure I'd be making regular trips to the shop and my stash would be even bigger than it is now.  However, I'm already looking forward to the next trip to Denver and will leave plenty of room in my suitcase for "souvenirs".

The store is organized the way I like - by weight, then by color.  They carry yarns that I've never seen before from large companies and yarns from independent or small dyers - some I've only heard of, some were new to me.  The Loopy Ewe is clean and bright and the sales staff, the "elves", are very helpful.  They don't hover over you while you're trying to make decisions on yarn and colors, but are around if you have questions....a nice balance.  Even the customers are happy and friendly.  I was debating over shades of Dream in Color Smooshy and was joined by someone who was shopping and she offered her input, which was welcome.

Don't let the empty shelves, bottom right in the picture above, deceive you.  The Loopy Ewe has more yarn than any knitter could possibly want in a lifetime.

There is even yarn in the lamp base!

I really don't need any motivation to finish up projects that I have on hand, but knowing that I'll probably be in the shop again next year in the fall has me looking forward to new projects in 2014.

Malibu Beach House

Malibu, California

2002 - 2006

The opportunity to design an oceanfront residence is a privilege that cannot be overstated. The site for this house and guesthouse is exceptional in its size and the amount of ocean frontage it enjoys compared to other properties on this south-facing Malibu beach.

The figure ground is designed to maximize the potential of the additional lot area which is a precious commodity. By splitting the program into separate structures, the beach’s sand and grasses are allowed to migrate into an entry courtyard as an extension of the landscape. Both of the structures have views to the ocean and courtyard that are filtered and framed by a layer of operable shutters that are independent of the building enclosure.

The houses are clad in teak, which also extends inside as floor and ceiling finishes. A cast-in-place concrete wall bisects the plan and is the physical link from the entry gate at the street elevation to the ocean gate and stairs leading to the beach. Detailed in bronze metal copings and finish hardware, the palette of materials – concrete, teak and bronze – is designed to weather and patina in response to the harsh oceanfront environment.

In Feb,2007, I bought a 1963 Plymouth Sport Fury Convertable with a 426 Street Wedge & 4-speed transmission for $16,600.00 and frieght of $1270.00.The car was sold to me with the original factory rims and rare wheel covers,a set of 4-torque thrust D rims and 85% good tires,factory radio, and all trim and chrome parts were intact and with the car. When the transporter got here, all the Very rare wheel covers & radio,& a couple of trim parts needed to be a complete car,did NOT arrive with the car.These pieces are needed to make the car complete,and worth the high price I paid for this rare #2 condition car that turned out to need more than $10,000.00 worth of rust removeal,metal repair & paint & restoration work, and is in fact a # 6 car needing extensive repairs.The men involved at collector cars and parts said an employee was responsable & they'd deal with the situation.It is now the end of July, and not only have they not done the deal they sold on E-Bay item#160072418074- go here to see what was offered on E-bay-but they wont take calls or respond to my e-mails asking them for the stuff sold in this deal.To conclude --they did not deliver what was offered and misrepresented this car severely.
