William Blake practically created the Star Trek Federation and the Prime Directive well before Rodenberry.......I like that he won't trim back his yard because it interferes with nature....I have always held that same idea, that an overgrown meadow like yard is much more beautiful than these perfectly groomed poodle yards people seem to love.....Watch the whole of 5 parts here....

You know, this is a good strategy. I'll see how far this will get me with the yard warden.

I am off to journey in my own virtual perception, imagining a dream the first and final frontier, to loiter in the halls of unconscious realms spreading out towards the horizon of infinity.....have you crossed the boundaries of your own yet? Not just outside the walls of your palace to mingle with the garden blossoms but way out into the wilds of your mind, the places you were told monsters roam, I tell you friends the only monsters out there are the ones you bring from your palace of comfort, the ones you thought had been locked in a closet long ago. For when you open the gate to leave the palace grounds all locks on the doors inside are disengaged, if you don't close the gate behind you they can easily seek you out......

Old but I stumbled on it recently and thought it was funny again.....

Media treat Obama like an artifact of a foreign culture - St. Petersburg Times

"........And, of course, Fox News Channel anchor E.D. Hill stepped in it big-time when she seemed to suggest one interpretation of the move could be as a "terrorist fist jab." She has since, mercifully, apologized (Hill also lost her 11 a.m. show Tuesday in a move Fox News says is not related to the comment.)

Still, to prevent further confusion, perhaps we should go over a few more nuggets from black culture that Obama might reference as the campaign progresses.

"Brother" — When black folks use this term to refer to another black person, they are not necessarily talking blood relations. The likely reference: a shorthand for the old-school term of affection, "Soul Brother."

"Diss" — Shorthand for "disrespect," this is a term used when someone insults another, disparaging their status. So you might say John McCain's recent words about the Democratic candidate's lack of foreign policy experience were a serious diss to Obama.

The hand clinch leading into a one-armed embrace AKA THE THUG HUG— This is a move light years beyond the "closed-fisted high five" Obama brought to the nation June 3. Here, the clincher executes an open-ended hand clasp with his subject, then pulls the person in for a one-handed hug. For extra cool points, make your fingers snap with the subject as you end the hand clasp. Novices should not attempt this without a third party spotting.

"Whassup" — Black folks stopped using this greeting when its widespread use in a Budweiser Super Bowl commercial made every Caucasian with ESPN sling it at their acquaintances of color. Still, if anyone can make its use cool again, Obama's the man.

In seriousness, his use of the dap seems much more about his generation — blending ethnic cultures in a way some academics call "post racial." So it's odd that an action that has been mainstream for so long suddenly takes on an exotic quality because Obama does it.

The truth is, it's just a cool handshake.

I hope journalists learn to save the thumb-sucking explainer pieces for when they're really needed. Because Obama's appeal isn't in the exotic way he brings black culture to politics, but in the seemingly effortless way he navigates black and white culture, suggesting a comfortable common ground.

Have you met Heironymous Bosch yet? No! Well he was a painter from the Early Renaissance right around DaVinci's age who was worlds ahead of his contemporaries like Davinci in visions.....

Look at his flying ships and all kinds of strange creatures, people back then were afraid to imagine things like they for fear of persecution yet he put it in paintings.....

You wouldn't think it's from the late 15th century when everyone else was doing Last Supper and Mona Lisa type paintings, it looks like someone just did a Photoshop job on an old painting right?

Yeah I wouldn't think so really, did the church have his head for that kinda of imagination?

That's a pretty cool toothbrush, kudos to the inventor. But, wouldn't you waste more water with the tap running while holding your toothbrush under the running water, rather than just using a cup ?

I've never rinsed with water so I don't know I use mouth wash, my brother used to use a cup, he would fill it almost full take a sip and then dump the rest then rinse the cup to wash out the back wash....I think a quick sip would save water, I knew people who kept the little paper cups for rinsing thats a lot of waste.....

NYCTA

When a work train is moving backwards/reverse the blow the horn 3 times, forward is 2 times.

The proceed signal with a light or hand signal is up and down and to stop is side to side with light or hand signal.
