21 Year Old "Cathedral of Junk" Dismantled After Neighbours Complain

Image credit: royalconstantinesociety on Flickr Austin used to be funky; as the Wall Street Journal notes, “For decades a college town with abundant cheap housing, Austin was a magnet for hippies, slackers and musicians looking for a care-free existence. They livened up the city with their music, art and festivals.” It also attracted artists like Vince Hannemann who 21 years ago started building a sixty-ton structure out of hundreds of bikes, mattresses, compact disks and other junk. It b… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image credit: Wikimedia Commons Hunted for their eggs and value on the traditional medicine market, Batagur baska , the mangrove terrapin has been driven as close to extinction as can be imagined. Only 20 known individuals remain—including those in captivity.

White Gold: Tracing Cotton and Fashion in Africa

This is the story of how African fashion entrepreneurs could bring new life to the continents dying cotton production. US cotton Subsidies which began in 2001 have had a huge impact on world prices for cotton in Africa, particularly Mali. This has led to a decline in cotton farming for a country that is dependent on cotton production for growing subsistence crops (food) and social services like schools and housing. The video starts and ends at South Africa Fashion Week. The women cotton farmers featured in this video are from Bamako, Mali. Mali is one of the largest countries in Africa and also one of the poorest countries in the World. Half the population lives below the international poverty line and a third of the population depend on cotton to survive. added by: SFcuata

250 Endangered Porpoise Remain After Population Drops 56% in 10 Years

The vaquita’s small size makes it especially vulnerable to gill-net fishing. Image credit: Wikimedia Commons The diminutive vaquita, or Phocoena sinus , is likely the most critically endangered porpoise species in the world. According to a recent survey, only an estimated 250 individuals remain in the vaquita’s tiny habitat in the Gulf of California .

Study: Sunscreens Increase, Accelerate Cancer

WASHINGTON (May 24) — Almost half of the 500 most popular sunscreen products may actually increase the speed at which malignant cells develop and spread skin cancer because they contain vitamin A or its derivatives, according to an evaluation of those products released today. AOL News also has learned through documents and interviews that the Food and Drug Administration has known of the potential danger for as long as a decade without alerting the public, which the FDA denies. The study was released with Memorial Day weekend approaching. Store shelves throughout the country are already crammed with tubes, jars, bottles and spray cans of sunscreen. The white goop, creams and ointments might prevent sunburn. But don't count on them to keep the ultraviolet light from destroying your skin cells and causing tumors and lesions, according to researchers at Environmental Working Group. In their annual report to consumers on sunscreen, they say that only 39 of the 500 products they examined were considered safe and effective to use. more at link… Hey NWO, is there anything in the supermarket that you haven't poisoned in order to soft-kill the population while you sink them further into debt to your banks? Its just aisle after aisle of death and now we have carcinogen sunscreens (I couldn't make this up if I tried; they're really trying to bankrupt and kill us). Please do some research and watch Invisible Empire; its right here on my page, its the quickest way to know whats going on behind the scenes: www.current.com/groups/conspiracy-films added by: rodstradamus

Think Arizona’s laws are tough? Lets look at Mexico…

Perhaps we should adopt similar laws as to what's on the books in Mexico for legal/illegal immigration: – Illegal entry into the country is equivalent to a felony punishable by two years' imprisonment. Document fraud is subject to fine and imprisonment; so is alien marriage fraud. Evading deportation is a serious crime; illegal re-entry after deportation is punishable by ten years' imprisonment. Foreigners may be kicked out of the country without due process and the endless bites at the litigation apple that illegal aliens are afforded in our country (see, for example, President Obama's illegal alien aunt — a fugitive from deportation for eight years who is awaiting a second decision on her previously rejected asylum claim). – The Mexican government will bar foreigners if they upset “the equilibrium of the national demographics.” How's that for racial and ethnic profiling? – If outsiders do not enhance the country's “economic or national interests” or are “not found to be physically or mentally healthy,” they are not welcome. Neither are those who show “contempt against national sovereignty or security.” They must not be economic burdens on society and must have clean criminal histories. Those seeking to obtain Mexican citizenship must show a birth certificate, provide a bank statement proving economic independence, pass an exam and prove they can provide their own healthcare. – Law enforcement officials at all levels — by national mandate — must cooperate to enforce immigration laws, including illegal alien arrests and deportations. The Mexican military is also required to assist in immigration enforcement operations. Native-born Mexicans are empowered to make citizens' arrests of illegal aliens and turn them in to authorities. – Ready to show your papers? Mexico's National Catalog of Foreigners tracks all outside tourists and foreign nationals. A National Population Registry tracks and verifies the identity of every member of the population, who must carry a citizens' identity card. Visitors who do not possess proper documents and identification are subject to arrest as illegal aliens. http://www.onenewsnow.com/Perspectives/Default.aspx?id=992156 added by: occhipij

Lady Gaga Shows Off Her Ass of the Day

This Lady Gaga act is fucking boring. It amazes me that she’s managed to trick people into buying into her lie. But then again, there’s a whole lot of popular bullshit that people buy into so whether she is bullshit or not, she’s still got a fan base…..even though there is nothing creative or interesting about her. She just has big marketing budgets behind her and in the fickle world we live in, I am sure she’ll eventually fade into obscurity where she belongs. The main thing we have working against us is that the population has gone very gay and lesbian, and for some reason gay and lesbian believe she represents them, and they don’t care that she’s fucking ugly, cuz they aren’t as superficial as us, all this making her far more rich and delusional that she is relevant than she deserves…..but then again she has helped get girls to rock the no’ pants, and I even saw a bitch walking into a club with no pants on, meaning it’s gone mainstream, so I guess she’ll be remembered for that revival a legacy I get behind, as long as she goes away soon and lucky for us, if we can stomach seeing Gaga like this, we’ll be glad to see actual women rock it, cuz actual women are substantially better looking that whatever Gaga is…. Either way, here she is showing off her Ass in Hamburg, cuz I guess part of her bullshit is spreading it around the fucking globe like she was Aids in the 80s and not just because her face looks like Aids in the 80s….

Candice Swanepoel Pussy Definition in GQ South Africa of the Day

The nice thing about South Africa is not just good for the surfing, or the apartheid era where blacks didn’t have the same rights as whites, but also because the white pussy that makes its way out of there and into the mainstream American world look pretty fucking good, but you can’t base a country’s pussy on two hot famous pussy that made it’s way out of the country, I mean take your small town for example, to an outsider, we all think America has good pussy cuz of the bitches we see on TV but the second you roll through a dinner in upstate New York, Florida or pretty much any tate,all you see is a sea of obesity and white trash….but as far as I’m concerned South Africa is a magical place of beautiful oceans and diamonds with 9% of the population white, 80% black, 31% of pregnant chicks are HIV positive, where Jews get stabbed in national parks …filled with poverty, crime and disease…and the 2010 Woldcup but most importantly Candice Swanepoel….and here is her pussy definition in GQ South Africa….

Ugly Betty Miserable Bra Flash of the Day

I don’t like shows about ugly bitches. I don’t think they should even be allowed on TV, since TV is supposed to set the mood and the insecurities of the population and this Ugly Betty bitch throws that off, I guess that’s why it was cancelled, something I was really happy about, but unfortunately, now that they are cancelled, they are pulling all the stops and really letting lose with the shit, with scenes involving America Ferrera, the pig who plays the Ugly bitch because she’s ugly flashing her bra and the whole thing may be exciting to you, but I think should get some execs fined by the FCC or whoever the people who always run after Howard Stern are. This is obscene. Little kids were possibly watching the show with their fat moms who relate to the show…but probbaly not…since no one is watching the show.
