The series debuted on Cartoon Network on December 6, 2002 and aired its final episode on January 21, 2008. The series came about as the result of a viewer's poll by Cartoon Network.
The main characters of the series are five children who operate from their high-tech treehouse against the tyranny of adults, enior citizens and teenagers. They make up what is known as Sector V of a worldwide organization called the Kids Next Door. The series ended in January 2008, but was re-syndicated on January 4, 2010-September 10, 2010.
Orto Plutonia had long been a protectorate of the nearby Pantoran moon, after Pantoran scouts searched the world and declared it uninhabited. They had missed the Talz population, which lived in the ice canyons in villages carved out of the ice walls, filled with huts made from animal skins pulled over bone-frames. The Talz lived a simple existence, somehow subsisting off the harsh environment, and using the native narglatch cats as mounts and protection. It is unknown how or why that Talz clan colonized the planet; Talz of Orto Plutonia were more aggressive and war-like than other members of their species who belonged to the Galactic Community.
During the Clone Wars, the Pantoran Assembly requested that the Republic establish an outpost on Orto Plutonia to serve as an advanced warning station for any Separatist incursions. To that end, the Republic established Glid Station, a clone trooper outpost built within a massive ice spire. The Separatists too established a temporary base in the ice, and all this activity aggravated the Talz. When the Sepratists discovered the Talz, they attacked them, but the Talz fought back. Glid Station got caught in the middle of the conflict, which ended in the Talz slaughter of all Separatists and Republic personnel on the planet. The Talz also left behind grim warnings against future trespassers - droid heads and clone helmets left perched atop spears.
The Republic sent a task force to investigate, led by Jedi Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, assisted by a squad of clone cold assault troopers. The Pantoran side was represented by the Chairman Chi Cho and Senator Riyo Chuchi, whom the chairman brought along to have some measure of authority over the Jedi. Cho believed that the Separatists had attacked Glid Station, but the Jedi investigated the disappearance of their troopers and discovered the Talz village. They were welcomed as visitors to the chieftain's hut, and Talz leader Thi-Sen explained that the Talz simply wanted to be left alone on their world. Kenobi and Skywalker promised a peaceful negotiation with the Pantorans, but the Chairman did not want to lose claim over Orto Plutonia. When it became an apparent that Orto Plutonia had a native population, Cho at first refused to believe it, and then later declared war to wipe out the Talz and keep the planet under Pantoran control.
Before the Pantoran Assembly was able to intervene, Cho led a charge of clone troopers against the Talz, which went poorly and the Talz nearly overwhelmed Cho's forces, fatally wounding Cho in the process. Cho's violent gambit failed, and when he told reinforcements under Senator Chuchi to continue the war, he died in disbelief that the Assembly called his decision out of order. Senator Chuchi, backed by the Pantoran Assembly, ceded ownership of Orto Plutonia to the Talz, allowing them sovereignty over the planet. She withdrew the Republic and Pantoran presence from the world, leaving the Talz free to live their quiet life in their ice canyon villages.
Here is a real nice 30 minute mini documentary covering the history of the mighty Blade. In this mini documentary Blade breaks it all down. From how he started this movement of Graffiti, what he has been up to these last 20 odd years.
In the sub-zero wasteland of the planet Hoth, only the strong survive... and of course those lucky Jedi protected by the thick skin of a Tauntaun. Now after exhaustive movie viewing research and analysis ThinkGeek Labs has isolated the exact synthetic compounds needed to re-create Tauntaun fur. What have we done with this supreme knowledge? Created a Tauntaun sleeping bag of course.
This high-quality sleeping bag looks just like a Tauntaun, complete with saddle, printed internal intestines, and a plush lightsaber zipper pull. Now when your kids tell you their favorite Star Wars movie is "Attack of the Clones" you can nestle the wee-ones snug in simulated Tauntaun fur while regaling them with the amazing tale of "Empire Strikes Back".
Use the plush lightsaber zipper pull on the Tauntaun sleeping bag to illustrate how Han Solo saved Luke Skywalker from certain death in the freezing climate of Hoth by slitting open the belly of a dead Tauntaun and placing Luke inside the stinking (but warm) carcass. If your kids don't change their tune on which Star Wars film is the greatest ever, you can do your best Jar Jar impression until they repent.

So another writer has been sentenced to a prison sentence in Pittsburgh and been hit with an insane fine and probation. He follows the example set by MF One in the same town, Bucket in Los Angeles, Ovie and Utah in New York, and countless others through out the US. There are things we can all learn from these guys and I have been spreading the news. Here are some tips to keep out of reach of the police and more importantly the DAs:
-1. Do not keep any images of illegal graffiti in your home, on your computer, or in your email inbox.
-2. Do not keep any sketches of the name you are painting in your home.
-3. Leave cell phones home when you are out painting. No need for your location to be triangulated after the fact and used against you.
-4. Do not post anything illegal online.
-5. Start saving for lawyers now.
-6. Don’t write just one name. Write at least 10 to keep everyone guessing.
-7. If you can’t do the above and the itch is too great to bomb go to a country or city that doesn’t care and/or loves graffiti. Try Sao Paulo, Budapest, Bulgaria, Copenhagen, Paris, Rome, or some other spot.
-8. Don’t leave cans behind when you bomb. Cops fingerprint them these days.
