A court in Ecuador has found Chevron guilty of massive environmental pollution and human rights violations in the Amazon, and has ordered the company to pay $8 billion to clean it up. But Chevron has vowed to appeal the decision, and clearly plans to stall indefinitely, hoping never to pay its due. So the Change Chevron team got together with our friends and allies at Amazon Watch, Greenpeace, Global Exchange, and Communities for a Better Environment (of Richmond, CA) headed down to Chevron’s HQ in San Ramon, CA, and delivered a message to the company: Chevron was found guilty because the company is guilty. Time to accept responsibility and clean up the oily mess in Ecuador!

so last night Alice bit through our telephone cord for the second time
I was still waiting to hear from the phone company but surprise I couldn't!
Now they were suppose to be trying to fix the modem from "their" end-so on I-P-S's advice I unplugged the modem and rebooted (the computer-I had done the modem several times) and then my bright idea was to put a new modem cord and low and behold we have internet
though we get a "low connectivity" message
so I may be back for a little bit :)
and I hope all my American friends are having a wonderful 4th of July

Project 52
Week 39/52
Week 40's theme is Guilty Pleasure
From: Catcher In My Eye :)
Easy Mocha Latte
INGREDIENTS
8 oz hot brewed strong coffee
2 tbsp hot chocolate mix
1/4 cup whole milk
optional: whipped cream, additional hot chocolate mix for dusting, candy cane
DIRECTIONS
Stir together the coffee and hot chocolate mix in a large mug.
Heat the milk on the stove to warm -- it should be around 100 degrees or just hot enough that you can only keep a finger in it comfortably for a couple of seconds. Remove from the stove and froth the milk using an aerator. Alternatively, whisk vigorously by hand until the milk foams, about 1 minute.
Pour the frothed milk into the coffee. If desired, garnish with whipped cream and a dusting of hot chocolate mix.
While hiking up a hill, I noticed the shadow of a squirrel on the ground in front of me. I turned around and found this red squirrel staring at me, only a few feet above my head. It was so surprised that it stopped chewing on a pine cone and let it drop to the ground at my feet. It remained motionless while I fired off several shots.
A sneaky beer in the middle of the day.
I had one too.
Thanks for all the views ... reached 250,000 today.
I Hope you all have a nice Christmas.

When I left for work this morning I asked My Daughters Hello Kitty, Keroppi, My Melody and Tuxedo Sam to watch my goody table and to make sure no one came over and ate all of them. When I got home they were all gone except these two leftovers. When I asked what happened they all said nobody came over and no one ate all of them. Funny part is they all had the same FAT CAT FACE like they just ate at a buffet. I'm pretty sure Hello Kitty is the only Kitty in the group which made it even more suspicious. ):
The top two components are the oil pump drive gear and spindle taken from my wrecked Gold Star engine.The bottom two are new `old stock` items.
Mmmmmmmmm,not too difficult to see why the old clonker seized up then!!!
Lately I have been utterly lacking in photography, which is caused by (more-than-likely) my suddenly busy schedule, the fact that the sun is setting sooner and sooner, and because of my 52 Weeks ending a while ago. I no longer have as much passion as I once did for photography. No, that's not correct. I just have lost my inspiration, the thrill of taking photos and the time to take such photos. I feel like every photo I have taken lately has done nothing but fail, and it causes me great anger and annoyance.
What has caused this, above all, is the fact that I do not know my emotions lately. They are all clustered together, all jumbled together in one big plastic rubber band ball that is bouncing around my skull. I want to take photos that express my emotions yet I do not have the time to sit down and evaluate these emotions that I am having, and I just need to do that in order to get that block out of the way.
Also, I have been skipping a lot of school in the past two to three weeks because I am sick of school. I finished my book and the illustrations are finished completely, so I have nothing to do in the afternoon so I become bored and say, "Screw it!" and leave. Having nothing to do is part of the reason, the other part is that I am already sick of school. I am beyond annoyed by waking up early and going to bed late, of doing assignments, of being in a classroom, etc. Next quad I have easy classes and I am doing photography next quad so, that works out great considering I will be doing that while my 365 starts and their is a lot of darkness.
Speaking of my 365, I am terrified of it. How the hell am I supposed to take a photo a day? Seriously. I am mainly doing this because I learned so much from my 52 Weeks that made me really want to do a 365. I am beyond thrilled yet terrified at the same time.
In other news, I have been also busy with watching TV shows (mainly Doctor Who) and I have a feeling that's not healthy.
Speaking of health, I'm starting to eat healthy. Damn.
This fake blood catastrophe was caused by the fact that I took these on Halloween and I had bought vampire fangs. I also just learned how to make fake blood. For me, it's much too syrupy so I am going to look for other recipes. Note to self: buy red food coloring.
And last of all on this long ramble: I am turning sixteen this Saturday. Hell yes. Not really. I don't know. I am more excited by the fact that there is no snow on the ground yet.
Oh yes, I love it when Flickr butchers the quality. Thank you so much!
This was Lucy, still in the box, after I 'rescued' her from the top of the fridge/freezer. Is there a hint of contrition in those eyes ... or is she just plotting the next adventure? :)

Vogelsang IP
The former Nazi “Ordensburg” Vogelsang is not only one of the largest constructions of National Socialism, but also an expression of its arrogance and contempt for mankind. Through the military use as "Camp Vogelsang" after the Second World War, the location also reflects the path from the "Cold War" to the Europe of today. Since 2006, a new location has been developing here: Vogelsang IP as an "international place" for tolerance, diversity and peaceful coexistence. The lessons from history are seen as both a duty and an opportunity. Appreciation, dialogue and openness are attitudes to which all facilities at the location are dedicated.
The permanent exhibition at Vogelsang IP focuses on the young men who were selected to be moulded into a future leadership elite of the National Socialist regime. The example of Vogelsang demonstrates the large extent to which architecture was used to document power and control of the Party.
The Ordensburgen were always both training centres and stages for the self-projection of the NSDAP leaders. At the same time, they were characterized by an air of incompleteness and haste: many things appeared to be improvised and driven by restlessness. This applies above all for the educational curricula of the courses, which were constantly changed and criticised within the Party.
Nevertheless, the Ordensjunker, (knights of the Order), as they called themselves, were presented to the German people as the new party elite. Many of them actually felt as if they were just that. With their entry into the Ordensburgen they believed that they had found a way to achieve social advancement and a professional career. The male association into which they were accepted promised them safety and protection and the comradeship of like-minded men.
Their minds were ideologically moulded by lectures and seminars but also by physical training with military drills and many kinds of sports. Particularly in the courses on “racial studies”, the image of their alleged superiority was constantly reinforced. A National Socialist substitute religion with rites and solemn ceremonies helped the Ordensjunker believe that they were participating in the creation of a “new race” of the future.
With this ideological background, the men of the Ordensburgen initially went as soldiers into a war which was, particularly in the east, a war of racial extermination. Several hundred of them were deployed to Poland, the Baltic States, Belarus and the Ukraine like modern colonisers. Many of them were involved in the National Socialist crimes in these regions. It took a very long time before post-war society and ultimately the judicial system began to take an interest in individual perpetrators.
At the conclusion of the exhibition, questions remain that deliberately reach beyond the history of National Socialism: What would we have thought ourselves? How would we have acted had we been alive in a similar time and given a similar task? Are there any comparable situations in the today’s world? What do democracy and plurality mean to us in our society today?
