The collection consists of published annual directories and reports of the body that coordinated or oversaw YMCA work for North America, and later the United States from 1854 to 2002. While the content varies significantly, they consistently include lists of YMCAs existing during that year and employed staff members, as well as those serving in leadership positions at regional and national levels. Most also include statistical charts with such data as number and type of members, types of programs and numbers of participants, although other information varies greatly over the years. Volumes from the earliest years are in the form of proceedings of the annual convention, consisting primarily of reports from the various delegates about the progress of YMCA work across the continent. In later years, the publications, then called "year books," included reports from the various programs and departments. Beginning in the early 1980s, much of the narrative content was eliminated and the volumes included only officer and staff directories and statistical data.
A complete list of the volumes with links to the digitized versions is available. You can then search within each volume. You can also search across the entire set of volumes by going to the YMCA Archives website, selecting the "images/media" tab from the "search the collections" box, and then limiting your search to "yearbooks, directories, and proceedings." To locate your search term(s) within a given volume, click on it in the search results page and then use the "search within this item" box.

When I was given the opportunity to create an exhibit for the Kautz Family YMCA Archives I was very excited. I wanted to focus on a topic that really highlighted what the materials within the archive were able to express. I wished the exhibit to strike a chord with the viewer in a similar manner that a collection was able to strike a chord with me. I had worked with so many of the collections that I had what seemed like a million ideas. In order to narrow the exhibit down to one subject I focused on topics that had human interest at the heart of them but also showed great historical significance.
The exhibit narrates a story of the life of the Russian exile after the Russian Revolution and the importance of of reading material to those exiles. The Russian Revolution initiated a situation of turmoil for millions. Russia's citizens experienced starvation and repression. Between 900,000 and 2 million became exiles, among them writers, artists, engineers and people from every sort of social and educational background. Many were committed to preserving the pre-revolutionary Russian culture and way of life while living abroad. The means to do this, however, was out of their immediate reach as most left the majority of their possessions behind.]]> At risk was an adequate education for the younger generation of Russian exiles and the survival of Russian intellectual ideas, philosophy and ideology, due to censorship. Many refugees did not speak the local language and often were unemployed or forced to take work that did not match their prior employment. Families could not educate their children as they wished because of language barriers and a lack of Russian cultural influences. After being forced to leave Russia due to a governmental ban on religious youth organizations, the North American YMCA saw the need to continue their work by serving the Russian exiles.
The North American YMCA founded the YMCA Press in order to assist Russian exiles with the preservation of their social-cultural existence as well as to allow them to gain further education and experience in their new lives. The YMCA Press, as well as other YMCA based Russian presses, the Chekhov Publishing House and Les Editeurs Réunis, worked to fit the needs, maintain the cultural identity of the Russian emigrant and secure non-Soviet Russian cultural history for future generations. The sort of texts that were printed varied, however the quality of life that the availability of these materials added to the Russian exile was immeasurable.
The Archives' Russian publishing work files were very striking to me because unlike much of the YMCA's international work, this project strove to preserve a waning cultural history and improve a people's situation after their loss of home. This collection felt very relevant today with so many emigres worldwide, unable to return to their countries of origin. Historical collections such as this one give us valuable examples to learn and grow from when looking to our future.
Through the exhibit I wished to paint the image of the Russian exile and the assistance offered by the various YMCA Russian presses. I looked to our next door neighbors in the Elmer L. Andersen library, the Immigration History Research Center, for some images. The images that they supplied illustrate Russian ceremonial culture, as well as the work and family life of the Russian emigre. I especially love the image of the Russian dancer who was performing at an International Institute of San Francisco event. I found the intricacy and detail of her costuming very striking.
Another goal of the exhibit was to provide a peek into the press industry through some of the many images of the Chekhov Publishing House in the YMCA Archives collection. These images show press employees hard at work as well as examples of a number of different volumes that were printed. One image shows an employee of the publishing house reading a manuscript with a Russian/English dictionary close at hand. This scene hinted at the effort that was required to publish accurate Russian language texts when Russian was not the publishers first language.
I also wanted to display some of the examples of print material by the YMCA Press and the Chekhov Publishing House within our collection. As it was all in Russian, a language which I do not speak, I mostly selected this material based on the appearance of the book. I did however find English language summaries for a few titles, including Stilled Voices- Poetry Behind the Iron Curtain, an anthology of Russian poets from behind the Iron Curtain, and Why I Escaped, a first-hand tale of Peter Pirogov's escape in a Soviet plane to the American zone of Austria.
The exhibit also includes examples of correspondence demonstrating what the presses were able to contribute. Correspondence is the sort of item in an archive that captures the life of an individual at a certain moment in time. The letter that struck me the most was from a Priest, Stojan T. Andjelkovic. In this letter he says "...a book for me is the dearest and greatest consolation and pleasure." This letter shows how a simple gift of literature was able to improve the lives of those touched by the YMCA's Russian publishing houses.
The experience of working on this exhibit was so much fun. I enjoyed the ability to delve into this collection with a need to tell a story rather than to only summarizing it, which is my usual task. I was able to focus on some of the points of the collection that give it personality and really bring it to life. The personal, individual connection to history and how history relates to modernity is what inspires my love of historical research. I hope that I have been able to get some of this through to the viewer. I also hope that the importance of the YMCA Russian presses to the lives of the Russian exiles and to the preservation of Russian intellectual and cultural history can be seen through the selected material in the exhibit.

The first 8 bars show how all guests rapidly leave the building. The poussette without hands in reeltime represents that people are excited, and agitatedly talk to each other. Then everything slows down, and one wonders when will anything happen. Finally, the Rights and Lefts suggest people are returning to their bedrooms.

Rochester Native to Play Super Bowl Halftime Show
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — "Music can change the mood of anything."Inside a west side church is where it all began."This is definitely where I started hearing music for the first time." A place John Fossitt hadn't been to in a while."It was definitely a good feeling. It feels exactly the same."Fossitt's earliest memories of music came from inside this church. It inspired him."I guess I always had an ear for music from very young. My mom always used to make me listen to a lot of music."John dabbled in guitar, bass, drums, but keyboards were his specialty.After attending college, Fossitt did what many with musical aspirations do. He moved to Los Angeles."Just started falling in line with some of the right people, the right people hearing me, connecting with musicians and things like that."Many young musicians dream of the big time. Fossitt is already there. He's the keyboardist for Grammy award winner Bruno Mars. He's played all over the world."Yeah, I mean it's definitely a good feeling. You're inspiring people, giving them some joy in what you're doing. You're enjoying it, they're enjoying it. The crowd is going nuts. Screaming fans. It's definitely a great feeling." For all the big crowds he's played for, nothing compares to what's ahead."It's funny because even when Bruno presented it to us, he was like, what's the biggest thing we can do?"How about football's biggest game, which happens to be the world's most watched TV broadcast.Pressure? "Nah, you know, it's just the Super Bowl."The Super Bowl. Where Bruno Mars and his band will perform, at halftime. "Yeah, it's going to be a good treat. There are a lot of doubters who don't think we should be doing it, so we're going to go out there to prove some people wrong, make some new fans, some new haters, and give them a good show.""This is what you want as a parent. You want your child to succeed," said John's mom, Debra.Debra has always been supportive, and she reacts to her son's accomplishment the way any proud mom would."It almost makes my heart burst with Joy. I almost feel doubly blessed. One with having him, and two with seeing him become an accomplished individual." Fossitt is a football fan, but he doesn't have a horse in this race."I'm a Giants fan. A Bills fan but they've let me down for so many years I kinda gave up on them."His team's might be home for the Super Bowl, but the Rochester native will be right at home on the world's biggest stage. "It's definitely surreal and definitely a blessing. It doesn't happen to anybody like this. So to be happening to us at this given moment is definitely a blessing." - See more at: http://rochester.twcnews.com/content/news/711922/rochester-native-to-play-super-bowl-halftime-show/#sthash.ByXeycjZ.dpuf

21 September 2010 11:02
Recently crowned 2010 Enduro E3 World Champion David Knight has confirmed that he will be competing in the 2010 RHL Weston Beach Race on October 15-17.
nighter has been a regular competitor of the RHL Weston Beach Race and has four wins under his belt at the seaside resort of Weston-Super-Mare.
The renowned all-round racer first won the Weston in 1999, and in 2002 he took the win on a quad and also in the solo class. He last won the solo class in 2006.
The factory KTM star said: "I'm looking forward to competing at the Weston. It's an event that challenges both man and machine every year and one that I really like to compete in.
"I've won it four times, three times solo and once on a quad. The one thing on my mind this year is winning it again but luck certainly plays its part. When I've not won it in the past I've always suffered with a bike problem.
"This year KTM are building me a new bike for the Weston and I'm really looking forward to it as it's one of the few chances I get to ride in front of a British crowd at a well established event and amongst some of the top MX riders from around the World.
"I'm definitely well up for it this year, especially now that I have managed to wrap the World Championship up. I'll be 100% focussed on it and hoping luck will be on my side."

It is easy to see the effects of our changing shopping habits on our local high streets. Are we turning into a nation of online shoppers? Is the high street becoming irrelevant? Or is there an upcoming renaissance linked with convenience and the fact that we are no longer doing a weekly 'big shop' anymore (see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-29442383)?
New technologies, the changing structure of family life and financial pressures caused by a long and deep recession have observably changed the way that we shop, possibly forever. Significant players of the past are now struggling as relative newcomers exploit consumer cynicism by providing new choices, new technologies and new value options.
So are we all becoming disloyal, connected and virtualised consumers? [Read more...]

Lady Gaga has a new meat dress; I'm torn between disgust and indifference »
Yes, this is Lady Gaga's new meat dress. I find it disgusting but I'm also like, um, it's no worse than a leather dress. Then again, leather is made of animals but it's kind of hush-hush; people like to pretend it comes from a tree, whereas this dress is a celebration of killing animals. Then again-again, maybe it's better to stick it in their faces, like yeah, this is totally gross, but it's no different than your leather dress.
Those giant meat things around her, those are fake, right? They look fake but I don't know, meat looks crazy. If they were real, I'd be like eff you to effing hell.
God! I hate everybody! Why can't they just stop torturing animals? They get mad AT ME for being vocal about my veganism, and I'm like, OK, what's something that actually upsets you? How about sex trafficking? What if sex trafficking was in your face every waking hour and everyone you know and love isn't just compliant, they are standing in a line leading out of the brothel eagerly awaiting their turn. Fuck.

Lady Gaga didn't make anyone kill a cat, but this shit is still hella sad! »
A 20-year old girl, getting ready for a bangin' night out, goes through her normal beauty regimen. Glitter: check. Water bra: check. Whiskey flask: double check. Outfit splattered in neighbor's cat's blood: Ch-wait, what?
I guess pre-gaming is a little different these days. Angelina Barnes from good ol' Oklahoma has been charged with animal cruelty, and being a fucking creep, after a series of events leading up to a Lady Gaga concert. Gaga, no offense, but this kiiind of trumps your meat dress.
A news report states a relative of Barnes came home, presumably to unwind with a nice Colt 45 and a little Idol, only to see a "completely dark house, with duct tape covering light switches." [Ed.: creepy!] And there Barnes was, just hanging out in "a long coat with streaks of what ended up being cat blood on her face." It puts the lotion in the basket.
Poor Whiskers. It's clear this woman is very mentally unstable. Ready for some more of investigators' findings? Purple hair dye/blood all over the bathroom; a drowned kitty-kins, belly cut open and "eyes mutilated; the cat's liver was found in a makeup case on counter." So Barnes was taken to a hospital, where she went all Girl, Interrupted and tried to slice a nurse with some glass. Her family claims she has previously suffered from depression, but this behavior was completely out of character. Not that anyone ever says, "Oh, yeah, I taught my kids how to appease the gods by offering up the blood of innocent critters. I also like them to use scented candles for ambiance."
Of course, the media loves to blame famous persons. Especially famous liberal persons. If it's not Josh Groban, it must be the devil. Fox was quick to correlate a young student's suicide to an Obama speech on the same campus. So, like Marilyn Manson's plight of the '90s, Gaga must now pick up the burden on the fucked up happenings of her fans. You monsters. Barnes, I hope you have a nice recovery, and mental illness is a rough biz, but the cat didn't do anything to you.
[Ed.: Now let's all look at cute adoptable cats because 1. You know you're already looking at kitty porn! and 2) I need to focus on something that's not super fucked up so I can get out of bed tomorrow morning!]
It's Anya! She's up for adoption in Alameda (MY ISLAND HOME FROM WHENCE I CAME) and she's adorable and you want to spoil her with awesome love and not drown her and smear her blood on your body. I know that normally goes without saying but as it turns out, you can never be too careful! Ugh!
This guest post was brought to us by Jessi Stafford! Jessi is originally from St. Louis…ish. She's now squandering her fortune while freelancing in Baton Rouge, LA. A University of Missouri Journalism grad, Jessi uses her degree for cocktail-drinking. She loves hyperbole and whoring around thrift stores. Jessi's becoming a regular (guest poster) on Vegansaurus and we love it!

Top 10 links of the week! A breezy ride through veganism! »
[your animal viral video of the week! I don't understand what's going on. Where is this? Is this like a private dolphin?]
I can tell you guys have big things to worry about but if you have time to care about the seal hunt, you should keep an eye on the Humane Society's "Live from the Ice" reporting.
Yo, did you know there's a debate about whether or not it's ethical for vegans and vegetarians to eat mock meat? Me neither! This Dish is Veg has a post about it, read it and tell me what you think.
Some 20-year-old killed a cat to perfect her outfit for a Lady Gaga show. I don't want to talk about it.
Treehugger has good news about the gorilla population in the Congo! Gorillas are just amazing. Like, you can't not be amazed when you look at them. Plus, they're nearly vegan (I hear sometimes they eat bugs)! They don't eat cows and they still manage to be all strong and diesel.
If you didn't get enough Laura this week, check out The Week in Vegan. She mentions Shakira, who rules. I'm sold. Read it and comment!
News gets cute this week: "Research shows that man's best friend categorizes people as generous or mean by keeping tabs on how they treat others." That's how everyone's dog knows YOU'RE the softy! Read all about it at the Daily Mail.
Michael Vick continues to be a douche.
Read Ricky Gervais' letter calling for the director of NIH to help 14 chimpanzees that have been sent to a research facility in Texas. Ricky Gervais is just the man. I don't know what he could do to make me like him more but I think it would involve free vegan cinnamon rolls. Or roller-skates.
Wolves can't catch a break. Groups are in the process of trying to de-list wolves as an endangered species in the Great Lakes area. The New York Times has the story. I'm getting fucking sick of this. It's like, you almost wipe out a species and then after hard work, the species begins to flourish and then you want to kill them again. WTF?
Friends of Animals has a brief update on the wolf de-listing rider in the budget proposal. It's on it's way to the prez! Fucking awesome!

Lady Gaga, your meat clothes make me sick! »
God, if that horrible Lady Gaga monstrosity wasn't enough, now designers are sending meat dresses down the runway at Fashion Week. Jeremy Scott (who is this person? I just looked up his designs and they are HORRIBLE. I'm not going to link, though, because I don't want to give him more publicity than I already am by writing this) got a standing ovation after he showed a skirt/bikini/godawful mess that looked like prosciutto. I don't know what worse, the fact that is is so ugly or the fact that the New York Daily News says, "Unlike Gaga's dress it only appeared edible," implying that Lady GagME's dress was made of REAL MEAT.
OH MY GOD! Her dress was real meat. How are you gonna do us like that, Lady Gaga? How are you going to talk about the rights of others and how we all deserve them as you are standing there wearing a dress made of animals who not only have no rights but lost their lives to cover your genitals as you stand there talking about love and equality? Where is your SELF-AWARENESS? and where was it when your designer was stitching 25 pounds of dead flesh to make you a garment? That sounds like a scene from some horrible fairytale.
And then she's all about not meaning any disrespect to vegans or vegetarians—IN WHAT WAY? How do you "mean no disrespect" when you are wearing a piece of dead cow on your head? Oh, wait…I get it! You said you're "the most judgment-free" human being, so it must be true. First: impossible. Second: so you've mastered the art of making grand statements about yourself with only a modicum of basis in fact; OK. Third: we don't care if you're judging us. THAT IS NOT THE POINT. The point is that you are making a statement that makes absolutely no sense and didn't even register until YOU EXPLAINED IT and EVEN THEN, WHAT? Plus, meat fashion isn't even original. The Kermit dress was better, as far as statements about cruelty go.
You're making this really hard on me, Stefani Joanne! How am I supposed to continue defending "Bad Romance" and "Paparazzi" to haters when my own reaction to this meat-dress debacle is to scream "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?" through a motherfucking bullhorn?
I can almost understand people who eat meat but don't wear fur (LOOKING AT YOU, Bethenny "Any excuse to get naked" Frankel), but the amount of cognitive dissonance that must be taking place when one says "I hate fur. And I don't wear fur", poses on the cover of a magazine in a MEAT BIKINI, and then wears a full-on MEAT DRESS to an awards show is scary. I do not understand how wearing an entire ensemble made out of raw beef is different than wearing fur. How does that even make sense? What, you're using the entire animal? What, you're using it to make a statement? Sorry, I can't hear you over your rampant, Kelly Killoren Bensimon-levels of hypocrisy.

The book of Genesis tells us that God created man and woman entrusting them with the task of filling the earth and subduing it, which does not mean exploiting it, but nurturing and protecting it, caring for it through their work (cf. Gen 1:28; 2 15). Work is part of God's loving plan, we are called to cultivate and care for all the goods of creation and in this way participate in the work of creation! Work is fundamental to the dignity of a person. (Pope Francis)

Published in Europe
Keywords: work, worker, dignity of work, St Jospeh the Worker, Pope Francis, General Audience
VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) - We offer below the Official Vatican Radio transcript of the Wednesday Catechetical address by our Holy Father Francis which was delivered in Italian. It is followed by the English summary.
Dear brothers and sisters, Good Day!,
Today, May 1st, we celebrate Saint Joseph the Worker and begin the month traditionally dedicated to Our Lady. In our encounter this morning, I want to focus on these two figures, so important in the life of Jesus, the Church and in our lives, with two brief thoughts: the first on work, the second on the contemplation of Jesus
1. In the Gospel of St. Matthew, in one of the moments when Jesus returns to his town, to Nazareth, and speaks in the synagogue, the amazement of his fellow townspeople at his wisdom is emphasized, and the question they ask: "Is not this the carpenter's son? "(13:55). Jesus comes into our history is among us, born of Mary by the power of God, but with the presence of Saint Joseph, the legal father who cares for him and also teaches him his work. Jesus is born and lives in a family, in the Holy Family, learning the craft of carpenter from Saint Joseph in his workshop in Nazareth, sharing with him the commitment, effort, satisfaction and also the difficulties of every day.
This reminds us of the dignity and importance of work. The book of Genesis tells us that God created man and woman entrusting them with the task of filling the earth and subduing it, which does not mean exploiting it, but nurturing and protecting it, caring for it through their work (cf. Gen 1:28; 2 15). Work is part of God's loving plan, we are called to cultivate and care for all the goods of creation and in this way participate in the work of creation! Work is fundamental to the dignity of a person.
Work, to use an image, "anoints" us with dignity, fills us with dignity, makes us similar to God, who has worked and still works, who always acts (cf. Jn 5:17); it gives you the ability to maintain ourselves, our family, to contribute to the growth of our nation. And here I think of the difficulties which, in various countries, today afflicts the world of work and business; I think of how many, and not just young people, are unemployed, many times due to a purely economic conception of society, which seeks selfish profit, beyond the parameters of social justice.
I wish to extend an invitation to solidarity to everyone, and I would like to encourage those in public office to make every effort to give new impetus to employment, this means caring for the dignity of the person, but above all I would say do not lose hope; St. Joseph also experienced moments of difficulty, but he never lost faith and was able to overcome them, in the certainty that God never abandons us.
And then I would like to speak especially to you young people: be committed to your daily duties, your study, your work, to relationships of friendship, to helping towards others; your future also depends on how you live these precious years of your life. Do not be afraid of commitment, of sacrifice and do not look with fear towards the future; keep your hope alive: there is always a light on the horizon.
I would like to add a word about another particular work situation that concerns me: I am referring to what we could define as "slave labor", the work that enslaves. How many people worldwide are victims of this type of slavery, in which the person is at the service of his or her work, while work should offer a service to people so they may have dignity. I ask my brothers and sisters in faith and all men and women of good will for a decisive choice to combat trafficking in persons, which includes "slave labor".
2. In reference to the second thought: in the silence of daily events, St. Joseph, together with Mary, have one common center of attention: Jesus. They accompany and nurture, with commitment and tenderness, the growth of the Son of God made man for us, reflecting on everything that happened. In the Gospels, St. Luke twice emphasizes the attitude of Mary, which is also that of St. Joseph: "She kept all these things and pondered them in her heart" (2,19.51).
To listen to the Lord, we must learn to contemplate, feel His constant presence in our lives and we must stop and converse with Him, give him space in prayer. Each of us, even you boys and girls, young people, so many of you here this morning, should ask: how much space do I give to the Lord?
Do I stop to talk with him? Ever since we were children, our parents have accustomed us to start and end the day with a prayer, to teach us to feel that the friendship and the love of God accompanies us. Let us remember the Lord more in our daily life!
And in this month of May, I would like to recall the importance and beauty of the prayer of the Holy Rosary. Reciting the Hail Mary, we are led to contemplate the mysteries of Jesus, that is, to reflect on the key moments of his life, so that, as with Mary and St. Joseph, He is the center of our thoughts, of our attention and our actions .
It would be nice if, especially in this month of May, we could pray the Holy Rosary together in the family, with friends, in the parish, or some prayer to Jesus and the Virgin Mary! Praying together is a precious moment that further strengthens family life, friendship! Let us learn to pray more in the family and as a family!
Dear brothers and sisters, we ask Saint Joseph and the Virgin Mary, who teach us to be faithful to our daily tasks, to live our faith in the actions of everyday life and to give more space to the Lord in our lives, to stop to contemplate His face.
English summary
Dear Brothers and Sisters: On this first day of May, Mary's month, we celebrate the feast of Saint Joseph the Worker. Joseph, the carpenter of Nazareth, reminds us of the dignity and importance of labour. Work is part of God's plan for the world; by responsibly cultivating the goods of creation, we grow in dignity as men and women made in God's image. For this reason, the problem of unemployment urgently demands greater social solidarity and wise and just policies.
I also encourage the many young people present to look to the future with hope, and to invest themselves fully in their studies, their work and their relationships with others. Saint Joseph, as a model of quiet prayer and closeness to Jesus, also invites us to think about the time we devote to prayer each day. In this month of May, the Rosary naturally comes to mind as a way to contemplate the mysteries of Christ's life. May Saint Joseph and the Virgin Mary help us to be faithful in our daily work and to lift up our minds and hearts to Jesus in prayer.

Aid groups from around the world are working tirelessly—racing against the clock—to rescue survivors, provide medical relief, food, and water after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti on Tuesday. It is still unclear what the death toll will be (it's estimated that it could be hundreds of thousands) or how severe the damage is, but reports and horrifying images from the ground indicate major destruction and chaos everywhere. Obama promised $100 million in immediate relief and even deployed 3,500 US Army members to assist, our most heroic relief effort since the tsunami in Indonesia. But communication is still limited and people are still searching for loved ones, like "Heroes" cast member and Haitian native Jimmy Jean-Louis. He is trying to find his parents after he learned that the house he grew up in collapsed, killing several relatives. So sad.
To help, many celebs have stepped up to offer big bucks for the cause. Keep reading »

It was another great week for viral videos that raced their way around the web.
We've saw children dancing, children being scared, crazy trick shots, some wild weather, a plane crashing into another plane, celebrities being funny and a movie super-cut.
Oh, and 'Star Wars.' It wouldn't be a normal week on the Internet if new 'Star Wars'-related videos didn't go viral, would it?
It was another big week for viral videos, in which the Internet introduced us to everything from an embarrassing drunk dial, to a proposal on live television to a brand-new music video from superstar Katy Perry.
We also saw a few baby videos go viral, both good and bad. The good: a so-cute-its-adorable video of two twin babies having a conversation, which launched into a popular Internet trend. The bad: Well, we'll let tennis pro David Ferrer's actions do the talking (see below).
We've pulled together 12 of the most talked about viral videos from the week. Watch them all now. (Trust us: Your job can wait.)
Everyone loves a good romantic song, especially around Valentine's Day, but rarely are love songs written for people that are in happy, well-adjusted relationships. With that in mind, here are five songs that start out romantic and then cross the line into being stalker anthems.

By your rationale, the skeptic movement is totally finished, as pretty much all of them have been discredited or aren't even scientists to start with.
By your rationale, the skeptic movement is totally finished, as pretty much all of them have been discredited or aren't even scientists to start with.
Seldom do such puerile comments issue from people, especially those who 'profess' to know so much about about a subject, they are immaculate in opinion on it.
Let's have a look at the top gun alarmists then.
Micheal Mann* A.B. applied mathematics and physics (1989), MS physics (1991), MPhil physics (1991), MPhil geology (1993), PhD geology & geophysics (1998) a youngster at 47.
CRUs Dr. Phil Jones*, world renowned climatologist, (cant even plot a trend in Excel, and admitted no statistically significant warming since 1995) works at at the University of East Anglia, as a Professor in the School of Environmental Sciences. Jones holds a BA in Environmental Sciences from the University of Lancaster, and an MSc and PhD from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. Jones has spent his entire career with East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) 61 years old.
James Hansen*
B.A. in Physics and Mathematics an M.S. in Astronomy in 1965 and a Ph.D. in Physics, in 1967, who worked for NASA and studies climate. And is 71 years old (though why age matters I do not know - more childish wannabe revolutionary stuff I suppose).
And there is the chair of the IPCC Rajendra Kumar Pachauri* who is a railway engineer, He began his career with the Indian Railways at the Diesel Locomotive Works in Varanasi. Pachauri was awarded an MS degree in Industrial Engineering from North Carolina State University, Raleigh, in 1972, as well as a joint Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering and Economics in 1974. 71 years old.
And a failed politician Al Gore*, who got a Nobel prize for a slide show which was riddled with 'mistakes'...64 years old.
So what are climatologists? Well just mostly people who study it from other disciplines, only Phil appears to have any 'defined' climate credential, so why don't you believe what he admitted? There has been no statistically significant warming since 1995?
You list of 'deniers' looks positively over-qualified by comparison...
There is no definition of hypocrisy that fits with me saying "No you clearly stated 'your heroes'," because that is what you stated.so did you. Next bit of hypocrisy from you whenever you are ready.
Those are really bizarre commentsyou wish. But a denialist with no evidence doesn't threaten me to that point. And now you claim to be a psychologist or perhaps a mind reader on top of a climate scientist. Alas, you're not. You're just an engineer. Therefore, any thoughts you have about anyone else are created in your own head, nowhere else. You've lost it totally. No evidence to call on to support your rants, so now you are relying on mind reading. Oh dear, I'm now worried for you.
So I did touch a nerve I thought as much. Why would you feel threatened?
And where have I claimed to be a psychologist?
Except of course with record recorded levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, the warming demanded by your notions has not occurred.You keep forgetting: It's the argument of the overwhelming majority of climate scientists that have observed the evidence and matched it. You say it doesn't match despite never having investigated one aspect of it. Very funny.
It is science not politics, majority does not count, only being correct. You would never have heard of Einstein if this was not so...
Would you like to apply your own logic by replacing all the copper wiring in your house with something else, like cotton?
And Svante Arrhenius' 1896 paper on global warming from CO2:
We've learned a lot since then. Now we can do high resolution laboratory measurements of gases, showing that the physics of the greenhouse effect is rock solid:
ScienceDirect.com - Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer - The HITRAN 2008 molecular spectroscopic database
And we've measured the strengthening greenhouse effect using satellites from space:
Also, we have used a huge number of ways to work out how much Earth warms in response to being heated, including past measurements and palaeoclimate - they all agree that man made global warming is real.
why are you repeating what I said. You're correct though, you arguments or posts would never achieve that. But that is what I said.
The majority doesn't count. But the fact that its the current science, tested by the majority with no alternative explanation that has passed any tests, does. An engineer who thinks he is as good as a climate scientist and now a mind reader and psychologist, will only attract another type of attention.
ashieuk: Do you really not see how pathetic your comments make you look? Someone on the list is dead? Someone else is an octogenarian? Another is a distinguished physicist? And all this irrelevant drivel makes MMGW true? If ever there was a portrait of someone plumbing the depths while desperately clinging to an utterly discredited fraud, it's your post.
onedin: the author of the "critique" against Watts trained as an astrophysicist and states climatology as his "hobby"! As for Skeptical Science - nice one, CM!
"One day, the useless 'Skeptical Science' blog may perhaps have a curiosity value to historians studying the relentless, lavishly-funded deviousness and malice of the tiny clique who briefly fooled the world by presenting themselves as a near-unanimous 'consensus' (as if consensus had anything to do with science) and mercilessly bullied anyone with the courage and independence of mind to question their barmy but transiently fashionable beliefs. The blog's falsehoods have made no serious contribution to the scientific debate that we who are genuinely skeptical and truly scientific have by our patient endurance now largely won." (Christopher Monckton, WUWT, 4.12.12)

Superman, The Incredible Hulk and Others Reimagined by Alex Pardee in Protest of SOPA
Posted: Wednesday, January 25, 2012 in Art, pop culture
January 25, 2012 11:52 AM
Artist Alex Pardee "re-imagined" these pop culture icons as bloated creatures for a collaborative exhibition with Dave Correia at the Blonde Grizzly Gallery in Salt Lake City, Utah. According to Pardee, he's calling them "ICANS," as a statement against proposed SOPA legislation.
Here is what Pardee says about the ICANS (from Juxtapoz):
I will be debuting a brand new series of 15 new paintings called "ICANS". Why am I calling them "Icans"? Glad you didn't really ask, but I'm telling you anyway. Well, because whether SOPA passes or not, I will continue to take any licensed character, or pop culture icon and do whatever I want with it for art's sake, because ICAN. Also, I just want to conduct an ongoing experiment to see if ICAN take any cool icon from pop culture and make it way shittier by "re-imagining" it. So far, much like Hollywood does most of the time, the experiment is a super fun success!
Alex Pardee is an artist, writer, and apparrel designer, who has produced work for Kid Robot, The Used, Juxtapoz magazine, among many other things. You can find more images of his ICANS below.

Fat Tony the Tiger Figure by Ron English
Posted: Tuesday, January 24, 2012 in Art, mashups, pop culture
January 24, 2012 10:07 AM
As an apparent statement against overly sugary children's cereal (a box of Frosted Flakes is 37% sugar) and because it's "Grrrrreeeeaaat!", Ron English created this Fat Tony figure, which he then promoted by planting it on the appropriate shelf at an LA supermarket.
According to Clutter Magazine, this Fat Tony will be released as a toy, limited to 500 pieces with more limited followup editions available later.
After the jump, watch a couple of classic Frosted Flakes ads, featuring a slimmer (but no less ridiculous) Tony the Tiger, Superman and horseback riding.

Trailer for Documentary About Wayne White
Posted: Monday, January 23, 2012 in Art
January 23, 2012 04:50 PM
Here is a trailer for the yet-to-be-released film "Beauty is Embarrassing," a documentary about multitalented creative genius Wayne White. White is mainly known for his set design and puppetry for the television show, Pee Wee's Playhouse, as well as for directing award-winning music videos for the likes of Peter Gabriel and The Smashing Pumpkins. His body of work and dedication to his art are nothing short of inspiring, and this trailer for the film hints that the story of his career and his recent shift to focus solely on his painting will make for an incredible film. It's set to premiere at the 2012 SXSW film festival. I can't wait to see it. Check out some examples of White's work after the jump.

Speeding Toy Car Sculpture Evokes the Energy of a City
Posted: Friday, January 20, 2012 in Art
January 20, 2012 12:06 PM
Currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Chris Burden spent four years making "Metropolis II" – a 10 feet tall sculpture of a city with 1,200 toy cars whirring around tracks at high speeds.
According to a recent NPR article, Burden, who originally made his name as a performance artist, said that it goes back to "making an object, but an object that is performative." He also says that Metropolis II fits more into the mainstream than some of his other work, stating "I don't think you need to have an art history background to understand this sculpture."
The cars of Metropolis II, which move as fast as 230 miles per hour, occasionally find themselves in traffic jams (just like in real life) and an operator is ever present to switch off the machine and get things back in order. After the cacophony of white noise created by all the motion, the silence left by turning it all off is, in contrast, horrific – the emptiness left by an absence of life. In the short documentary below from Supermarche, Burden says "it wasn't about trying to make this scale model of something. It was more to evoke the energy of a city."

Cross Section of a Tree That Plays Like a Record
Posted: Thursday, January 19, 2012 in Art, mashups, Things That Might Be Art
January 19, 2012 11:19 AM
Artist Bartholomäus Traubeck created this piece, titled "Years," by rigging his record player's tone arm with a PlayStation Eye camera so he could take a disc of wood – a thin cross section of a tree – and listen to it as if it were an LP. The rings of years are picked up by the camera and and translated through Ableton Live to give them life in sound. The result: a beautiful, sad and eerie piano concerto.

SOPA Protests
Posted: Wednesday, January 18, 2012 in pop culture
January 18, 2012 11:56 AM
Happy blackout day everybody! Reddit, Wikipedia, Google, Craigslist and a number of other prominent sites are either completely or partially blacked out today in protest of the SOPA and PIPA bills being pushed through congress.
While the blatant stealing of intellectual property is obviously wrong, opponents of the the bill say that it goes beyond the bounds of what is necessary to curb it (and may not do much of that anyway), but could instead put too much power in the wrong hands, chill online business and otherwise stifle creativity.
The White House issued a statement two days ago in response to one petition filed against SOPA and PIPA, which seems in support of the protesters' claims. The blackout pages on Wikipedia and Google also have petitions and/or contact information for elected officials. Check out the video above explaining the finer points of the proposed legislation and also this (much funner) one on The Oatmeal.

3D Printers for the Home
Posted: Tuesday, January 17, 2012 in Trendspotting
January 17, 2012 05:59 PM
What does the future of product design look like? Well, it's starting to look something like this: an affordable home 3D printer that allows anyone to digitally design a 3D piece and manufacture it on the spot. On the other side of things, a consumer can purchase a design online, download it, and watch it form before their eyes. Artists are already starting to upload their designs to sites such as this one.
Whereas 3D printing is nothing new, this particular platform by 3D Systems, called "Cubify," which debuted at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is perhaps revolutionary in its movement toward mass appeal. With a price tag of $1,299, it's getting into the "affordable" range for home printing.
Not that it's the only affordable option either. For instance, there's an independent company called MakerBot Industries in Brooklyn that manufactures 3D printers for nearly $1,000. Theirs even come complete with Brooklyn style and ingenuity.
In response to these affordable 3D options, we're all ears about the coming developments in 3D printing – to find where we fit in best (if anywhere), and how we can best support other independent artists and small shops when (or if) it becomes commonplace.
For artists who prefer to design digitally (or don't mind having their sculpts scanned in 3D), home 3D printing could be a prime opportunity for their designs to gain mass appeal through this medium in just a few years. This might be especially good for a number of otherwise unknown artists who might struggle with the threshold of having their work produced to break into the mainstream virally, should home 3D printing take off.
This potential future also invites a number of new debates about cost, exclusivity, integrity, creative license, intellectual property rights, and material. How quickly or begrudgingly will the product industry, artists and consumers continue to adapt to this new twist, and will the home 3D printing world offer a clear benefit to all sides? Or, alternately, will home 3D printers be to product design what Napster and home recording were to the music industry? What do you think?

Mr. Potato Head: Dictator Edition
Posted: Thursday, January 12, 2012 in Art, mashups, pop culture
January 12, 2012 12:20 PM
In the same dictatorial vein as our Little Giants figures of Mao Zedong and Vladimir Lenin, artist Stephen Ives has twisted the classic Mr. Potato Head concept to embody the images of some of history's most pertinent iron-fist rulers: Saddam Hussein, Hitler, Kim Jong Il, Vladmir Lenin, and others. These figures are pretty incredible looking, and, in the spirit of Mr. Potato Head, their accessories appear to be fully interchangeable.

Artist Fabian Ciraolo created these illustrations, mashing old pop culture icons and with modern hipster swagger. Whereas we design Little Giants of Frida and Dali, he makes them like rock stars.
In Ciraolo's world, none are safe. Through his art, Ciraolo has morphed cultural figures ranging from Cleopatra and Gandhi to Care Bears and Captain Planet. Check out more of his work here.
