We've seen all manner of creature and creation in the Star Wars universe, but this is something else.
Subversive woodblock print artist Sean Starwars is showing off a series of Star Wars woodblock prints at the Los Angeles art gallery Coagula Curatorial on May 4, which is both Free Comic Book Day and the unofficial Star Wars fan day "May the Fourth Be With You." The artist, who legally changed his last name to "Starwars," is a member of a group called the Outlaw Printmakers, and has taken his passion for George Lucas' seminal creation and put it down on wood. He will be doing screen-printing live at the event. In addition to Starwars' work, Coagula Curatorial will also be having Star Wars costume contests, games, screen-printing, puppets and even a comedy show.
Here's more examples of Starwars' woodblock prints:

I am really disappointed to see a great passionate and melodious singer in Kumar Saanu not getting the recognition that he deserves and not coming back. His super hits with Nadeem Shravan are for ever the best. He sings from his heart not Udit not Sonu....
I love Saanu's songs, no doubt there is no body even Kisore can gie me the same true emotion as that of Kumar Saanu and in his own way Saanu bhayya is real and original. As the saying goes, "beauty lies in the beholders's eyes",music is also the same for me. I really wish that my favorite singer is supported and given an opportunity to sing for top music directors and Nadeem & Shravan again.
I suspected that Saanu has created his own enimies in the Hindi film industry being out spoken about the contemporay Bollywood music. It was a huge mistake and we are the loosers. The film idustry is going through the same even in Telugu, by giving more importance to fast tracks and shouting and yelling westerns tunes with out much weight to the lyrics. For example Bala subrahmanyam is my idol in Telugu, even after singing 40K songs in all south Indian languages and Hindi, he is still considered the best and praised for his dedication, polite, humble and being non controversial.
I attended multiples concerts of Kumar Saanu in US, no body ia as explosive as he is and he is always loved. I wish I can talk to him in person again.
Saanu bhyya, Tum Dil Ke dhadkan me rehte hai rehate hai... mere dil me hamesha rehte hai!!!
#186 Sep 5, 2010
Dear Saanu Bhayya, If you remember me, I met you in many of your oncerts in US (NY/ NJ), the last time when you toured with AlkaJi at the Bloom field theater in Bloom Field, NJ. I am writing to you with deep heart, your song are unforgettable and brings the joy for ever. Your departure from music industry is our loss( fans).
Please understand that the music trend has changed across all regions in India, the younger generation is encouraging western fast beats and payig deaf ear to melodious music and we all have to put up with it. You have a special place in your fan's hearts and we will continue to listen to your songs as long as you sing. Unfortunately you are tired of the new wave and outspoken about the young music directors and as a result you are not able to come back and we are very sad.Perhaps you are burnt out and staying away from singing career in favor of acting/making`movies and you gave your singing career away and it is not the same any more. can you make it up with AR and Nadeem Shravans whom you need , music directors give the oppotunities for great singers including Kishore Kumar. You need to think about your fans and don;t quit the Bollywood.
How can I reach you ? by phone or by e-mail ?

Yes Off Course We All need Kumar Sanu to come back.
Come On Man! Where are you. Its the time to eliminate today's fucking singers.
No doubt your voice is unbelievable superb....
I have a huge collections of yours and always listening to you...
And this is my msg to all of you here in this blog posting comments that when Kumar Sanu Came in the industry, music directors ask other singers while recording that please sing just like kumar sanu...
and those singers where udit narain, sonu nigham and many more...
so dont compare any singer with him..because he is the one who told the whole film industry how to sing. and you can also check that film industry got a great progress from 1992 to 2002 when his superb songs were in movies. So he is Real King of Melody.
and those people who are writing against him in this blog, they are really unaware of the music concept and listening.

kumar sanu is the greatest legend in the world
since the ashique he was rocking .udit debut his career in 1988 after ashiquie and emergence of the magical voice of kumar sanu udit lost many assignment
he dominated evry film and maximum songs were were recorded by kumar sanu.if u listen sanu voice than is looks more interesting then kishore and rafi .the talent which he sang was aslo not seen in kishore and rafi
i appeal to listen his song carefull u will die no one in future can surpass u thats sure.it is tru that sanu magic voice declined after 2000 but his voice from the era of 1990 to 2000 i seems that it is the magic era of music industry .a song sing by kumar sanu will not be able to sing by udit and sonu or any other singer

Undoubtedly Kumar Sanu has been one of the finest artists that our country has had...!! It's such a disgrace that a singer like him is been overlooked. It's such a shame that he wasn't awarded with a Filmfare award for a song like "tujhe dekha to ye jaana sanam" which even now is one of the top rated love song..
Luv u Sanu da..!!

The 5 characteristics of scientific denialism
One of the best climate websites is SkepticalScience.com run by physicist John Cook.
The goal of SkepticalScience is to "explain what peer reviewed science has to say about global warming" and answer the most common questions and objections raised both by the well-meaning doubters and the not-well-meaning disinformers.
Fortunately for us, Cook is blogging more now, which means I'll be quoting him more (see "How we know global warming is happening — Skeptical Science explains: It's the oceans!"). Cook has a good discussion of a recent paper, "Denialism: what is it and how should scientists respond?" that I excerpt below:
While the [paper's] focus is on public health issues, it nevertheless establishes some useful general principles on the phenomenon of scientific denialism. A vivid example is the President of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki, who argued against the scientific consensus that HIV caused AIDS. This led to policies preventing thousands of HIV positive mothers in South Africa from receiving anti-retrovirals. It's estimated these policies led to the loss of more than 330,000 lives (Chigwedere 2008). Clearly the consequences of denying science can be dire, even fatal.
The authors define denialism as "the employment of rhetorical arguments to give the appearance of legitimate debate where there is none, an approach that has the ultimate goal of rejecting a proposition on which a scientific consensus exists". They go on to identify 5 characteristics common to most forms of denialism:
- Conspiracy theories
When the overwhelming body of scientific opinion believes something is true, the denialist won't admit scientists have independently studied the evidence to reach the same conclusion. Instead, they claim scientists are engaged in a complex and secretive conspiracy. The South African government of Thabo Mbeki was heavily influenced by conspiracy theorists claiming that HIV was not the cause of AIDS. When such fringe groups gain the ear of policy makers who cease to base their decisions on science-based evidence, the human impact can be disastrous.
- Fake experts
These are individuals purporting to be experts but whose views are inconsistent with established knowledge. Fake experts have been used extensively by the tobacco industry who developed a strategy to recruit scientists who would counteract the growing evidence on the harmful effects of second-hand smoke. This tactic is often complemented by denigration of established experts, seeking to discredit their work. Tobacco denialists have frequently attacked Stanton Glantz, professor of medicine at the University of California, for his exposure of tobacco industry tactics, labelling his research 'junk science'.
- Cherry picking
This involves selectively drawing on isolated papers that challenge the consensus to the neglect of the broader body of research. An example is a paper describing intestinal abnormalities in 12 children with autism, which suggested a possible link with immunization. This has been used extensively by campaigners against immunization, even though 10 of the paper's 13 authors subsequently retracted the suggestion of an association.
- Impossible expectations of what research can deliver
The tobacco company Philip Morris tried to promote a new standard for the conduct of epidemiological studies. These stricter guidelines would have invalidated in one sweep a large body of research on the health effects of cigarettes.
- Misrepresentation and logical fallacies
Logical fallacies include the use of straw men, where the opposing argument is misrepresented, making it easier to refute. For example, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determined in 1992 that environmental tobacco smoke was carcinogenic. This was attacked as nothing less than a 'threat to the very core of democratic values and democratic public policy'.
Why is it important to define the tactics of denialism? Good faith discussion requires consideration of the full body of scientific evidence. This is difficult when confronted with rhetorical techniques which are designed to distort and distract. Identifying and publicly exposing these tactics are the first step in redirecting discussion back to a focus on the science.
This is not to say all global warming skeptic arguments employ denialist tactics. And it's certainly not advocating attacking peoples' motives. On the contrary, in most cases, focus on motives rather than methods is counterproductive. Here are some of the methods using denialist tactics in the climate debate:
- Conspiracy theories
Conspiracy theories have been growing in strength in recent months as personal attacks on climate scientists have intensified. In particular, there has been accusations of manipulation of temperature data with the result that "the surface temperature record is unreliable" has been the most popular argument over the last month. This is distracting people from the physical realities of global warming manifesting themselves all over the world. Arctic sea-ice loss is accelerating. Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets are losing ice mass at an accelerating rate. Spring is coming earlier each year. Animal breeding and migration are changing in response. Distribution of plants are shifting to higher elevations. Global sea level is rising. When one steps back to take in the full body of evidence, it overwhelmingly points to global warming.
- Fake experts
A number of surveys and petitions have been published online, presenting lengthy numbers of scientists who reject man-made global warming. Close inspection of these lists show very few qualifications in climate science. On the contrary, a survey of climate scientists who actively publish climate research found that over 97% agree that human activity is significantly changing global temperature.
- Cherry picking
This usually involves a focus on a single paper to the neglect of the rest of peer-review research. A recent example is the Lindzen-Choi paper that finds low climate sensitivity (around 0.5°C for doubled CO2). This neglects all the research using independent techniques studying different time periods that find our climate has high sensitivity (around 3°C for doubled CO2). This includes research using a similar approach to Lindzen-Choi but with more global coverage.
- Impossible expectations
The uncertainties of climate models are often used as an excuse to reject any understanding that can come from climate models. Or worse, the uncertainty of climate models are used to reject all evidence of man-made global warming. This neglects the fact that there are multiple lines of empirical evidence that humans are causing global warming .
- Logical fallacies
Strawmen arguments abound in the climate debate. Often have I heard skeptics argue "CO2 is not the only driver of climate" which every climate scientist in the world would wholeheartedly agree with. A consideration of all the evidence tells us there are a number of factors that drive climate but currently, CO2 is the dominant forcing and also the fastest rising. Logical fallacies such as "climate has changed before therefore current climate change must be natural" are the equivalent of arguing that lightning has started bushfires in the past, therefore no modern bushfire is ever started by arsonists.

These climate change deniers are the same anti-science nitwits who pay extra for organic foods because they feel organics are healthier to eat than normally produced food. They believe this despite all the scientific literature that says there is no nutritional difference whatsoever.
[JR: Hmm. A new form of concern troll? I don't want to get into a discussion of organics, but there are many reasons other than "nutritional" to want to go organic.]
Im very new to this subject and am trying to be objective. But it seems that the information used to contradict man made climate change deniers is not fact based but only mentions 2 things: 1. A majority of scientists support man made climate change 2. they use situations from the past i.e. tobacco lobbyists to say how wrong we are now. Much "science" can be found to support either side but for now the deniers are the only ones i can find using facts.
Per #2, mark munroe, you need to look a little more deeply; the items you list scarcely qualify as the primarry bases of the argument. The sidebar here provides a variety of links. You should also read Weart's The Discovery of Global Warming http://www.aip.org/history/climate/index.html, or even chapter 9 of the IPCC AR4 WG1 report.
With respect to the article, each of the the 5 techniques listed is something that any adequate course in Critical Thinking would examine as a type of fallacy. This is not a surprise, but it is worth noting: scientific methodology is simply basic principles of reasoned inquiry refined and focused.
mark munroe said:
Im (sic) very new to this subject and am trying to be objective. But it seems that the information used to contradict man made climate change deniers is not fact based.
Mmmm seems to be a bit of a contradiction here. You are "very new" to this subject yet you appear to have read all the denier websites which offer nothing but lies, disinformation, misinterpretation and obfuscation and have not read one real piece of science from the scientific literature.
May I suggest you spend the next six or so months actually reading up on the science of climate change then come back here and discuss things in a rational manner. Otherwise you are just a denier troll.
Great summary of denialism.
But these are not innocent errors. Such acts of deception require deliberate planning and hard work.
They are serving another master.
Not necessarily the same. I googled 'carbon footprint of beef production' and found two articles in a quick seach. One said conventional production had less emissions, the other said organic production had less.
The author of the article (on beef.com) that claimed conventional production produces less emissions works for the Hudson Institute's Center for Global Food Issues. If you go to their website you find lots of articles about global warming that seem to be on the denialist side.
Denialists that I have met tend to be conservative libertarian types who could care less about organic food. I don't think there is any correlation between deny climate change and eating organic food. If there is any, I think it would be the opposite based on my 5 minutes of exhaustive research.
"Much 'science' can be found to support either side but for now the deniers are the only ones i can find using facts."
If it were literally true that "deniers" or "skeptics" were the only people in this fight referring to facts, then it would be a matter of Case Closed and Game Over, and you would be _absolutely right_ to turn your back on the scientific mainstream view (i.e., that present-day global warming is real and human-caused).
But is it true that only "deniers" are "using facts"? I respectfully urge you to consider that it may not be so. I for one — technically educated (PhD Engineering Sciences) but not a real scientist, much less a climatologist, so not arguably under peer pressure to think one way or another in this matter — have been looking at this for years and am profoundly convinced by reading literally hundreds of articles from the scientific literature that the shoe is on the other foot: that the scientific mainstream view is entirely fact-based and that the denialist camp depends 100% on flawed pseudofacts, selected truths deprived of key context, and fallacious chains of reasoning (often sincerely advanced). In this respect, the climate denialists are a close parallel to Creationists, as many people have remarked.
The IPCC 2007 report, despite a few minor but extremely well-publicized pimples, is a magnificent, even overwhelming compendium of footnoted _facts_ on global warming. I urge you, I beg you, I get down on my knees and howl like a dog to implore you, to give it a chance — to read, attentively, fully, and fairly, the Executive Summary document of the Science Background report and to trace any points that seem dubious to you to the fuller treatment in the main text.

May intellectual honesty prevail!
Mark Munroe,
I'm not sure if your post was designed to antagonize. Maybe, maybe not. Either way, I'm afraid your assessment represents a gross oversimplification and seems to portray projection.
The facts, empirical evidence all support the theory of AGW. Even renowned 'skeptics" like Lindzen and Spencer agree that we are and will continue to warm the planet. They just wishfully believe that it won't be by much as stated by science cited in the IPCC, but they have failed to demonstrate otherwise (Lindzen and Choi's infamous 2009 paper has been soundly debunked) despite having had 30 some years to do so.
While people like Monckton are good at running off numbers and 'facts', closer scrutiny shows them to be half-truths, cherry picked, self contradictory, distorted or even outright lies. WUWT also spout many "facts', most of which when scrutinized or vetted turn out to be misleading at best and more of than than not incorrect. So don;t confuse someone stating with "authority" that this is all a hoax because of x, y and z. Check the supposed facts put forth by those in denial about AGW by going to NASA, NOAA, AMS etc.
The literature and internet is full of real facts about the impacts of AGW, you just have to be very careful to seek out credible and impartial sources. For starters try this excellent web site:
And of course, Joe, has some excellent factual and scientific resources here at ClimateProgress.
And, at all costs avoid political and pseudo science blogs like WUWT, they will only lead you astray.
Thou art well-named, Irritator.
I notice your use of straw person argument, misrepresenting the views of your opponents, who buy organic food not only because it's healthier for the eater but because it's healthier for farmworkers, the biosphere and everyone in it. Organics also encourage the health and vitality of farming communities, as opposed to chemical/mechanized ag, which destroys them.
Cherry picking scientific studies further demonstrates the invalidity of your position. Specific organic foods studied have been found to be lower in pesticides and higher in nutrients, at least partly due to better soil quality (which takes a while and good management to develop, thereby possibly causing sampling problems in some studies). Since pesticides have become so ubiquitous in the environment and in our own body burden of harmful chemicals as well as that carried by every organism on Earth, there is sometimes not as much difference as we'd like between organic and chemically-grown food, but to say that's a reason NOT to grow food organically is to ignore reason, logic, medicine and health.
The third reason your name is appropriate is that this is not an organic food blog, but a climate site. Maybe you should find an organic food denialist site where your arguments will be better received.
Meanwhile…since this IS a climate site……Physicist Alan Yeoman says increasing organic matter in all arable soil on the planet 1.8% [or 4% on half of it, or 10% on 20%, etc.] would sequester all the carbon emissions of the industrial era, so organics are good and necessary for avoiding global catastrophe as well. Since chemical agriculture is entirely dependent on cheap supplies of oil and they are disappearing fast it is doomed to have a very short life anyway. And thank the gods and goddesses for it, since it's so bad in so many ways for everything alive.
The average person is only vaguely aware, still, about Global Warming and its consequences. Blame it on the media, blame it on the scientists, blame it on Governments, blame it on our selflessness.
Most average joe's I speak with now say that GW is probably real, but its cyclic! Blame it on weather forecasters. They are the initial face the public trusts in this field and their reticence and ignorance at accepting the reality has tainted the picture.
This is an emergency, yet there is no sense of urgency in the public. Panic is a good thing. There are different stages and levels to it, but basically its a mechanism that allows us survive. The level will start to grow with more and more alarming climate driven events, but trust me we need some instilled panic now.
There is absolutely no drive here to motivate people in to action in address this event which is going to topple civilization and may even drive us to extinction. This is more than fiddling while Rome burns.
Nice one Larry :) I love the begging part…
Great post! But I have to respectfully disagree with your conclusion that focusing on the deniers' motives are counterproductive. I think the denialists' unethical motives and dishonesty should be attacked early and often. I think it is pretty clear that most of the deniers' talking points are generated by paid professional PR agents either operating openly as part of a front organization "think tank" like Heritage or AEI, or under alias online. Their strategy is classic PR "activist engagement" following the successful model employed by Big Tobacco.
The success of the Truth campaign stems largely from its exposure of the dishonest motives of the tobacco industry's efforts to keep people hooked. Truth ads use the outrage engendered by the behavior described in their ads to make smoking synonymous with submission to a corporate "pusher."
I also believe that Bill McKibben was right when he wrote in his TomDispach op-ed that "Science may be what we know about the world, but politics is how we feel about the world. And feelings count at least as much as knowledge." We need to make it clear that we the people are being subject to a fraud by the fossil fuel industry and that this fraud is costing our children their future.
'average joes' is spelled 'average joes'. No possession, no contraction, no apostrophe.
Very well said on all points re. organics.
Re. the climate/organics connection, there is a good deal of science on this point and it tilts heavily toward organics. The UN FAO stated in its 2007 report (ftp://ftp.fao.org/paia/organicag/ofs/OFS-2007-5.pdf), "Greenhouse warming potential in organic systems is 29 to 37 percent lower, on a per hectare basis, because of omission of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides as well as less use of high energy feed."
And before anyone jumps on that "per hectare" bit ("aha, but you grow less per hectare, don't you?"), organic farming is at least as productive per hectare as industrial/GMO agriculture: see, e.g., http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/July05/organic.farm.vs.other.ssl.html , with similar results in the literature across the range of crops.
For a good overview of the organics/climate connection, see this extensively-referenced report: http://indiaenvironmentportal.org.in/files/ClimateStudy%20IFOAM%20Screen.pdf
Organic agriculture IS warming-mitigation agriculture — on top of all its other benefits to local economies and communities, the soil, and the water.
It is one of the many sorry-ass omissions of the IPCC's 2007 report that it doesn't, to my knowledge, even mention organic agriculture in its Mitigation section. Despite ample data on this point. IPCC must not bite the governmental hands that feed it its (big agribusiness) diet?
We do not need panic. Yes, panic gets people to act, but who and how? People's cognitive abilities and feelings of empathy and connection are disturbed and overridden by panic and trauma. They are easily misled and compelled to commit or allow force, violence and coercion. Fear is the response to a threat, real or imagined. Especially when people are unwilling to feel fear, anger follows closely–the gathering of energy to defend oneself (however that's defined) and the use of it to strike out at whatever enemies are perceived or blamed for the threat.
With fear and anger ascendant, people become more dependent on authority figures. There are 3 possible responses to serious threats: fight, flight and freeze. They apply differently to different parts of us and parts of society. We have seen–after 2001, in the ongoing assault on civil liberties, ecological and safety protections, etc during the Bush and Obama administrations, that the far right has effectively harnessed anger and used symbols to justify attacks on not just liberties but liberals, immigrants, young African-American men, Moslems, regulations on corporations, climate aware people, and science itself. The left, on the other hand, has frozen. We have watched helplessly as civilization has been dismantled to create a warlord world of government, industry and hierarchical religion and as science, knowledge and discourse have been discredited. We have to think psychologically, systemically and symbolically, paying attention to what works—for all parts of the system from inactive supporters through undecideds and the confused to active disinformers.
If we encourage panic, if we use national security arguments, if we wait or fail to get action until multiple climate Pearl Harbors happen, we are more likely to get military responses, real and metaphorical. We are more likely to trigger suspension of those few civil liberties we have left, and we need them to stop coal, stop nuclear, counter the corporate megaphone, protect organics, reforest the world and probably not too far in the future, stop useless and potentially catastrophic geoengineering reactions.
We need to speed up progress by slowing down and paying attention—to ourselves, to nature, to sense.
Logic Deferred @3,
Recognize mark munroe's weak display of Denier characteristics #3 & #5?
Expect #1 & #2 to show up shortly.
Joe, there should be at least a #6 – playing plain dumb, although, to be sure, some are not faking it.
[2nd attempt]
You give people facts, and they whine that they don't understand all that sciency mumbo-jumbo and demand that you use English.
You give people a summary of the facts in so-called plain English, and they howl that you must be covering up the facts.
What the fact do people want?
mark munroe (2) — Pleasee read "The Discovery of Global Warming" by Spencer Weart:
These climate change deniers are the same anti-science nitwits who pay extra for organic foods because they feel organics are healthier to eat than normally produced food. They believe this despite all the scientific literature that says there is no nutritional difference whatsoever.
the irritator @1
Being exactly the kind of 'anti-science nitwit' you refer to (well, I prefer to buy local and/or organic or minimum pesticide, but these days local prevails for carbon reasons) and knowing, as I do, many other similarly-minded 'nitwits', I'd have to say they run significantly more strongly to the warmist than denialist side of the argument. This seems rather consistent with an overall concern for the environment.
I have, however, encountered many 'conservative libertarian' types who just hate, and I use the word advisedly, Greenies, Vegos, Warmists and Lefty/Liberal/Socialist/Commies generally (citizens of the US who are hostile to them often tend to conflate these genres, much to the bemusement of those of us elsewhere, I note. I won't include 'Social Democrats', as this might be taken for a reference to the more amiable of Obama's aides!)
Very alarmingly, I've encountered several virulent haters of all of the above who have science degrees. Funny old world.
PS I am spectacularly good at ignoring the arguments of trolls, so if this was, as I suspect, just a baiting exercise don't expect much joy from me.
Absolutely excellent. Excellent!
Yes, excellent post with terrific links as rebuttals to the most recent denier memes.
Just for fun though I have to agree with the irritator, I know many people who are deniers but buy organic food. I attribute this to the unease of the Ignorers – they don't want to alter their lifestyle or grotesque overconsumption of consumer goods, travel, and imported gourmet food, but they have a dim perception (since they're not actually dumb) that this is an unsustainable pattern – and so they basically fetishize their fear. Rather than focus on the real threat to their children's health – the toxic greenhouse gases they are breathing from the exhaust from their SUV plus emissions from coal-fired electricity powering their big screen plasma teevee – they instead worry obsessively about chemicals in food, germs, and sexual predators!
I am so proud of Significant Other, who has come a long way from free marketeer, Reagan conservative – here is his most recent comment at the coffee party climate change forum, in response to a denier:
unreal2r – 2010-03-20 18:37
Brian, it is very important to me that you and Tigger and the rest of the brain-dead nimrods who make up the deny-doubt-delay axis continue to drink the swill that's been brewed for you – or that you've distilled yourself from the flotsam and jetsam you've dredged up from the Internet sewer.
Very important.
Vitally important.
In fact, my future depends on it.
Anyone who has studied the collapse of civilizations realizes that the population ultimately gets divided into three groups: (a) the flesh eaters, (b) the herd, and (c) those that get away.
As things unwind, as they surely will, the least of your problems are going to be socialists under your bed and communists in your closet. You're going to have to deal with marauding gangs of ruthless thugs. They will be younger than you. They will be stronger than you. They will be better armed than you. And they will be angry and outraged that you robbed them of a future.
If you are lucky, they will either enslave you or kill you quickly. If you aren't so lucky, they will put you on the menu because, at the end of the day, you are just a protein unit, a source of energy, a chance to make it through another few days.
I say it's important because the more of you there are in the herd, the less likely they'll come looking for me. I intend to get away and survive. And to do that, you have an important role to play in my plan.
So, please, keep it up. Convince as many people as you can that there's nothing at all to be concerned about – that the people who are talking about collapsing ecosystems are just a bunch of crazy alarmist loons – that there's nothing at all to climate change.
You are simply acting out a part in the mechanics of evolution. Your genes have been selected for cancellation. It was your choice, of course. Unfortunately, you made one that you're not going to be able to live with.
Oh, and stock up on barbeque sauce. May as well go out with a positive Zagat review.
Both scientists and the anti-science denialists are mistaken to call this a debate. Holding a debate is to misapprehend the issue, because global warming will unfold according to scientific laws no matter who "believes" in whatever dogma. We can debate the theory of gravity, but things still fall according to the observed laws of gravity.
Rather, AGW is something to observe and discover. We choose to know and learn, and those who deliberately avoid learning or knowing ("I don't believe in global warming") do little to influence the event itself.
This is not a scientific squabble, it is a political one. Almost purely political. Those who stand in the way of adaptation or mitigation are defining themselves quite well – politically.
Very interesting post, Joe. Having returned to this to read the last set of comments I agree that there's a subset of people who are all about me (and mine) so worried about what their kids eat etc. but it's an easy switch in many urban areas.
Also, check out Grist's article or series about artificial nitrogen fertilizer and soil destruction. Scary!
And to Mark Munroe, hello! But if you were on a jury in a civil trial, you wouldn't want to sleep through the plaintiff's case, wake up for the defense case and then fault the plaintiff's rebuttal if you didn't know what the original evidence was, much of which the defense might not contest. (Or a criminal trial either, no napping!)
So I would encourage you to start at the beginning. And this site is a good place to do that.
The basic facts of the greenhouse effect don't change. That's science. The amount of emissions keeps increasing, and new feedback mechanism keep being discovered (just one example: meltwater on glaciers or ice shelves dropping through and lubricating the bottom).
Deniers' arguments and focus keeps changing. Some deniers have given up denying and now just quibble about what to do.
And sometimes depends on the current weather here in the US that month which of course is a teeny part of a giant picture and beside the point entirely, but it plays well. If it's hot outside, it's natural and not a problem. If it's cold outside, see!
However, you are not alone at all if your first serious look at the scientific claims about global warming actually started on the denier side. I attended three huge public forums over the years, saw "An Inconvenient Truth" and hosted a public showing here some years later. I don't know who attended the commercial movie screening, but in all these other cases my impression is that the people who came were already interested, and the average person can't see it and so doesn't care, so doesn't care to find out.
Buy Joe's book "Hell and High Water" or get it (or request it) at yr local library or get hold of "Field Notes from a Catastrophe" short but very helpful and a quick read.
At this point global warming has been studied for several decades at least so actual scientific articles/reports are essentially updates or small pieces, and a person needs to get the big picture first.
My old history teacher at the HS level used to recommend reading a kid's history book when starting to study a new era or country etc., even if was biased or wrong about a lot of stuff. It would tend to give you something of an outline to then improve upon. Just as if you were going to Australia several hundreds of years ago. Any map would be better than none and helpful in understanding what you encountered.
Fortunately, regarding global warming there are some overviews (here) and in book (or DVD form) that are a better start than trying to work backwards from rebuttals of rebuttals and then separate discussions about various aspects of how scientists communicate with the public (or aren't allowed to, or don't do it well) who's paid by who to raise questions, and of course running commentary on what country is doing what, or not, where our current Senators stand or shift, and so on….
I read this site daily, but blogs post the most recent stuff up front, and you have to explore to find the basics and follow links where indicated to recommended basic resources.
Thanks for the post. Good to see the tactics and strategies being used by deniers summed up, and actually even better to see the link between the climate change denialist movement and its similarities to public health denialism campaigns. Although I have heard quite a bit about the similarities between climate deniers and those who claimed smoking does not cause cancer, it is interesting to see how these same tactics have been used by others.
Re your point in the middle of the post:
"This is not to say all global warming skeptic arguments employ denialist tactics. And it's certainly not advocating attacking peoples' motives. On the contrary, in most cases, focus on motives rather than methods is counterproductive."
It seems this point was rather disregarded in some commenters' response to Mark Munroe. If he truly is quite new to the debate and prone to siding with deniers, I imagine he would be quite turned off by many of the responses to him here. Thanks to those who suggested credible sources for him to turn to rather than attacking his motives or credibility instantly. Climate change is an extremely complex topic, and while we need to be vigilant about the veracity of the science, we also need to remember not to push away or vilify those who are genuinely uncertain about the subject.
mark munroe, if you would like some helpful information about global climate processes and drivers (including some about Ian Forrester) then may I suggest that you take a look at this site (http://www.stevefielding.com.au/forums/viewthread/692/P30/) where I have posted a comment for you.
Regards, Pete
Tracy, thanks for making those very valid points in your final paragraph. Comments such as those from Ian Forrester do nothing to encourage individuals who are genuinely searching for the facts about The (significant human-made global climate change) Hypothesis to take a balanced look at the arguments.

Italian Wedding Soup
Total Time
Prep 1 hr
Cook 30 mins
Is this a soup or is this a stew? An absolutely delicious recipe. The mini chicken meatballs and gnocchi are like little mini dumplings that cook right in the soup. Yes, you can use another type of pasta but it won't have the same special creaminess that you get with the gnocchi. Forget the chili, I'm making this at the next football party. This is a hearty, fresh and delicious Stoup!
Ingredients Nutrition
- meatballs
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 large egg
- 1⁄2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1⁄2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 dash nutmeg
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground pepper
- soup
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 celery ribs, chopped
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 1 package shredded carrot
- 6 cups chicken broth (I prefer Swanson low sodium)
- 1 (16 ounce) packageof frozen gnocchi
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1⁄3 cup flat leaf parsley, finely chopped (2 handfuls)
- To make the meatballs it's really easy. Just mix all the meatball ingredients together in a big bowl and then shape them into walnut sized meatballs (about 40-45) and set aside while you prepare the soup.
- To make the soup, heat the olive oil over medium high heat and add the celery, onions, carrots and cook 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the broth, cover the pot and bring to a boil.
- Once the soup is at a boil, turn down the heat a little and slowly add the little chicken dumplings and simmer for about 10 minutes than add the gnocchi and simmer for another 5 minutes. Now add the peas and parsley and continue cooking for another 2 minutes.
- The soup is done when the meatballs and gnocchi are cooked through.
Most Helpful
Very good soup. Loved the meatballs and gnocchi together.
This review is just for the meatballs, as that's all that I needed this time. These are THE BEST meatballs I've ever made, of any kind! I'm new to cooking with ground chicken so I followed your recipe to the letter. They were perfect...so this is one recipe I will never tweak. I made these meatballs to go with Kittencal's Marinara Pasta Sauce (Vegetarian) and they held up beautifully, dropped into the simmering sauce. Thank you so much Everything Tasty, for sharing your fantastic recipe!
Oh my goodness gracious. The chicken meatballs are f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s!! Seriously good flavor there. I also really love the gnocchi addition to this soup. Yum!! This soup is a winner and well worth making the meatballs (not even difficult). I ended up using 8 cups of chicken broth to balance out the meatballs, gnocchi, etc... I added a little bit of salt and pepper to the finished product. The only thing I will do differently next time is to cut the meatballs and gnocchi in half, because I like smaller bites - personal preference only. This soup is a winner! Made for Spring 2013 PAC.

Historical Traveler Reviews Bel-Ami Hotel Paris
Excellent Boutique hotel in Paris
I lived in Paris for 3 years up until Summer 2004. In my last week in Paris I got married and since my wife's sisters were all staying in my apartment I needed somewhere else to go. I know Paris pretty well and have seen maybe 50 or 60 hotels there in my time. Mostly you get old (or old style) furniture, small rooms or noisy streets. I wanted something more modern so was looking for a boutique hotel. The thing about Paris is that there aren't many modern, 'designer' hotels. It's an old city! In my area (6th) I had either the Artus Hotel or the Bel Ami. The Artus hotel is the better known of the two so I went there first. I was lucky because, living locally, I was able to inspect all the hotels first. The Artus hotel does a good brochure and looks good in print. However, I was very disappointed when I got there. It might have been nice 10 years ago but I thought it was looking 'tired' and shabby. The standard rooms were also a bit compromised in their layout.
So, I walked down Bvd St Germain to the Bel Ami. It had much more 'wow' factor. The whole place is well lit with clean lines, making it very light and modern. We saw a couple of standard rooms and, although these were nice, we loved the 'suite'. It was a bigger room with a sitting room off it. Not sure I'd call it a suite (as they do) but by Paris standards it's certainly a big room. Decor is nice. Again, quite modern but not uncomfortably so. Published price was OK but not 100% value. I rang back later and asked for any offers or packages. Almost immediately the price dropped to a good level so I would recommend ringing directly. I also explained I was getting married and so I got a few extras thrown in.
The night before the wedding my best man (my brother) and I went out in Paris for a final night of freedom and he was due to stay with me that night in the Bel Ami. The suite comes with a double bed so for that night they put in 2 queen beds a suitable distance apart (!!). After a good breakfast we left for the church. My wife and I got back to the hotel that evening to be greeted by a bottle of champagne and a bowl of fruit. Oh, and a BIG double bed....
Service was good. I had regular email contact with the concierge prior to my visit to make sure the planning was timed right (changing beds, champagne on ice etc) and nothing was too much trouble.
I only stayed there for 2 nights and OK it wasn't cheap but if you want Boutique in Paris you don't have a huge choice and of the ones available, I rate this one highest.
An excellent hotel!
My wife and I and our two teenagers just returned from a one week stay in Paris. We had excellent accomodations ------- a deluxe room adjoining to a superior room. Both had adequate space and sufficient privacy. The hotel is immaculate and extremely well situated, in between the elegant rue Jacob and the bustling Saint Germain d'Pres. The hotel is beautifully designed ----- its look is downtown modern with clean crisp lines and an inviting lobby area. (My kids really appreciated the two computers with internet access!). For anyone interested in a quaint setting that represents "old Paris," this hotel would not be a good choice. In terms of its American market, yuppies (and their kids) will be most comfortable here. The staff is young, friendly and professional. I give the Bel Ami a very high rating and would not hesitate to recommend it to a friend or stay there again.
Good...but not that good...
Don't get me wrong - it's a nice place with very pleasant staff. It's also in a really great location - in the middle of St Germain with great restaurants, bars etc.
However, for this kind of money (Euro250 per night) I'd have expected a little bit more of a 'wow-factor'. I've stayed at much better 'boutique hotels' in european capitals for the same money - and these blow this place away.
The breakfast area feels a little 'Ikea' and the bar is ok, but shuts at midnight. Rooms are very, very functional with old TVs, small space, average pictures etc. 2x Internet connections in the hotel seem to be the big differentiator - all seems a bit dated.
All in all a 'nice place' and i had a great stay there, but i reckon you could do better....
Excellent but a couple of caveats
Bel Ami has lots going for it - fantastic St. Germain location; hip, contemporary style (a nice relief from the cheap chintz so common in Paris), a superb buffet breakfast, free internet in the lobby, outstanding service.
We negotiated about a 20% discount from listed rates plus got breakfast included by making a walk-in reservation (we were already in Paris and needed a room for the following week). The second smallest room category, which we had, was small but i've seen much smaller.
My caveats:
1) It's not an outstanding value, even with the discount. But I'd pay it and stay here again because I care about the overall hotel experience as much as the bottom line.
2) Soundproofing to the exterior is world-class, but there is poor soundproofing between rooms. We didn't have any "problem" neighbors but could hear a lot from other rooms. Probably mostly a problem if you're trying to sleep during the day.
3) Upon checkout the hotel charged my Visa in Euros and then on the receipt used an unfavorable exchange rate to convert to a dollar billing. I've never seen this done in hundreds of foreign credit card transactions. I protested and they had to credit my Visa card, then charged my Amex which didn't make the conversion. Check your receipt!
Fantastic location but cheaper rive-gauche rooms on the small side
Glorious Gallic chic - stayed for one night here on a short trip to Paris. The hotel could not be better located if you have only a few days to spend in Paris, being close to designer boutiques, restaurants and within walking distance of the Seine and those all important sites. In the height of Summer, I can imagine this glacial cool retreat being a perfect respite to soaring temperatures and crowds after a hard days shopping/sight seeing.
The staff were delightfully attentive, charming and courteous. I would not think twice about staying here again, the location is perfect. I will however be booking a larger room.
Have a look at their website.
Beautiful & Friendly - Lives up to its name!
Le Bel Ami is stylishly appointed and beautifully designed. The staff is beyond courteous - they actually seem happy to greet you every morning... The location is simply perfect (Louis Vuitton is just around the corner, most up-and-coming designers can be found within a few blocks radius, and most importantly the magic of La Seine is just a few hundred meters away...). The bedrooms are not huge, but then agan this is Paris. All in all, sleek and charming.
This was our second stay at the Bel Ami and we can't say enough about how much we enjoy it. The rooms, which are decorated in a minimalist style, are small but charming. The staff is very helpful and friendly.
The hotel is in the heart of St. Germain on the left bank, a perfect location from which to explore Paris. The breakfast is delicious and hearty and includes eggs, sausage, bacon, many pastries and bread, fruit, cheese, orange juice, coffee and tea. A lovely boutique hotel!
Modern and chic with a great location
We spent 11 days in Paris and this was the 4th hotel of the 4 we booked. A really cool hotel which reminds me of the Standard in Hollywood. Minimalist style with smaller rooms than the other three hotels we stayed in during our visit. If you like the modern style, free internet access in the lobby and a pretty cool bar, this is the place for you. Walking distance to nearly everything on the West Bank.
The staff was efficient and very helpful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for soemthing a little different than your average higher end hotel in Paris.
Cool Hotel!
We just returned from France, where, the temperatures have soared! We stayed only 2 days in Paris on our way back home and were grateful to be in the Hotel Bel Ami. The staff is friendly, helpful, and gracious and the hotel is adorable. Our room was small (like most all Paris hotel rooms) but had a world class air conditioner. It was as advertised--minimalist chic and I loved the location. While I knew the approximate location I didn't realize it the street ran between the Cafe de Flore and the Cafe Du Magots. What a treat! We will definately book other visits to Paris in what has become our favorite boutique hotel.
Minimalist cool + great location
Hotel Bel Ami is a great hotel - if you can afford it. The large lobby is furnished with sofas and other contemporary pieces and has enough room to offer a coffee bar in a.m./drinks in p.m. (although, I didn't see a drink bar?!) and relax while watching the passerbys. There are two computers in the lobby for internet surfing.
The room we had was large compared to the normal "European" sized rooms. The staff was very pleasant and breakfast is included in some rates - offering yogurt/cereal, fruits and ham/cheeses.
Hotel is close to everything - which of course, which makes it easy to spend MORE money!!

Released: May 01st, 1999
Running Time: 76, 80
Director: David Collins
Company: Video 10
Cast: Bruce (I), Tonatieu, James (III), Julien, Walter, Seby, Yannick, Matieu, Alx, Katelyn
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
Fans of fresh foreign meat will flock to these. Stock in your foreign section.
This pair of twink-infested videos follows a horny tourist (played by Mathew Thomas) as he becomes a voyeur on his vacation in Montreal. He spends the entire time stalking young French-Canadian men who all look barely over 18.
The sex is relatively standard, and after awhile it becomes rote. A sucks B, flip-flop, then someone gets fucked. Occasionally a rimming scene is thrown in for variety. However, to their credit, the guys stay incredibly hard throughout their scenes, which at least proves that they are into what they're doing.
The hottest scenes occur in Vol. 1, with a duo between Walter (the box says "Raymond") and Alx and a sizzling scene with adorable Matieu getting fucked in front of a mirror by Ricky. In fact, in Vol. 2, there are only a few moments of excitement, which seems to indicate that Collins should have considered doing only Vol. 1.

Hard to make use of all your senses on dismounted patrol with your ears plugged and the radio headsets get hot and uncomfortable after awhile.

That's my experience on the matter anyways.

Hi everyone, sorry to disturb you but How to change the width of my banner? http://kokoronomanga.info
Thanks in advance for your answer
Hi Laurhanna,
you can put this code into your custom css:
.row-fluid .span7 {
width:100% !important;
if you don't have a custom css file, then you can install this plugin
Hi shinjing ^-^ , here is my css style (i'm a newbee with wordpress) where i can put in ?
[Excessive CSS moderated. This is not necessary when you have posted a link to your site.]
it's ok i find it ^-^(sorry for my english i'm french) , i have two other questions:
How can I reduce the height of the slide?
And i want to do as this page (my old site):
but in my page wordpress:
i have a problem with the text "shojo mature" and the four images that follow how can I put below, skip a paragraph?
Thanks in advance
i find too ^-^ thanks but not for the height of the slide please ?
Salut, tu peux expliquer mieux ton problème? J'ai pas trop compris quoi tu veux changer.
je veux changer la hauteur du slider pour qu'il soit plus petit
Il faut que tu adicione la proprieté "height" a la classe "active item". Ça serait quelque chose comme
div .active .item {
Dis-moi si ça marche.
Please post in English. These are English forums; meaning it's not just one person you're helping here, it's the WordPress community that speak English.
You should add the "height" property to the "active item" conjunction of classes. It would be something like
div.active.item {
(changed the selector there, use this one "laurhanna")

Hotel Formule 1
|The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (December 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Number of locations
|246 hotels
Area served
|Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin American and Caribbean, Africa and Middle East
Hotel Formule 1, or hotelF1 in France, is an international chain of "super low budget" or "no frills" hotels owned by AccorHotels. As of August 2012, the Hotel Formule 1 brand has begun rebranding into the Accor Hotels ibis Styles and ibis Budget brands. In France, some Hotel Formule 1 properties are re-branded into a new, France-only brand called hotelF1.
Most Hotel Formule 1 and Etap hotels have been re-branded into the ibis Budget hotels as part of Accor Hotels budget and economy brands.[1]
As of 2015, Accor lists 238 locations in France (hotelF1) and 8 other (Hotel Formule 1) locations in the United Kingdom, Belgium, and India.[2] There was an excess of 600 Hotel Formule 1 / hotelF1 hotels in 13 countries worldwide prior to re-branding. As with Etap, most were located in France.
Hotel Formule 1 rooms rent for around €35 per night. The rooms are very basic and whitewashed. The rooms typically each contain a small desk, a television (with cable and international channels dependent on location), a double bed or a double bed with a bunk above, and a sink. There is no toilet or shower in the room; bathing facilities are provided by single-person showers and toilets accessible from the common hallways.
Toilets and showers are automatically self-cleaned after every use. As with most hotels in this price range the doors and hotel entrances in Europe have number-pad locks, eliminating the cost of keycards or mechanical keys.
Formule 1 Hotels in France are known as hotelF1. All hotels are renovated with a new design. Like those in the rest of Europe, they have communal shower and toilet facilities.
Outside Europe[edit]
Previous Formule 1 hotels outside Europe (Australia, Brazil, Japan, Indonesia, New Zealand and South Africa) were more akin to the Etap hotels found in Europe, in that the rooms have their own showers and toilets rather than communal arrangements, and keycards rather than coded locks. Some locations offered the choice of a room with either a double bed with a bunk above, two singles with a bunk above, or a queen bed with a set of two bunks. These hotels operate in the budget end of the market.
Communal facilities[edit]
All Formule 1 hotels have a breakfast area and a reception desk which is only manned between 0630 and 0930 (0730 and 1030 on weekends and bank holidays) and then from 1700 and 2100, with some variations by country. Outside of reception hours, automatic vending machines allow access via credit or debit card. A self-serve breakfast is available at each site from 7am for about $7. In the bedroom areas (which are colour-coded as red, yellow, orange and purple) in European locations, each coloured zone has a communal shower and toilet.

My goal as an artist is to be continually learning, continually pushing myself and continually exploring new ideas. In the process of developing my fine art career over the last couple of years, I've done just that. Now that I know the "rules", so to speak, I want to start breaking them a little--to play with new ideas. The Bird-Watcher concept is one of those ideas I've enjoyed exploring and will continue to explore--it's fun to tell a story with paint--be watching for new pieces coming in the near future. I will also be working on pieces that have a more graphic feel that may incorporate mixed media, and of course, en plein air pieces. En plein air requires quick thinking, quick painting and quick results, good and bad, it is a way for me to really push myself as an artist while enjoying what feeds my soul--NATURE.

Diagnosing Car Heater Problems
by Bob DeP.
Related Articles
5 Ways to Prepare Your Car for Winter Driving
A Winter Emergency Kit
Hey Bob!
I own a Chevrolet with a heater problem. When you turn the heater on you can hear the blower fan blowing (so we know that's working), and you can hear all the vacuums when you move the heater controls from "defrost" to "vent" to "blend" etc. But there's very little air coming out of any of the vents. When the heater is cranked up to high, you can barely feel the heat on your face! Please help me!
I have been getting many questions and comments about cold driving this year. I suppose that it's the season. Here are a few things to look for, but pay close attention to the symptoms, because they all mean different problems.
1) There is no heat, the fan blows, the temperature gauge shows normal, and there is no noticeable air flow out the vents.
Most cars heating system uses a series of vacuum operated diverters. If there is a problem with their operation, the air flow may be dead ended or blowing out the wrong area. Some causes could be a bad vacuum line, or a broken diaphragm in one of the diverters. You'll need to get behind the dash to check individual lines.
2) I get air flow, but its cold.
Two possible problems here. One is that you are low on engine coolant. You see, the system is designed to reduce coolant flow to the cabin when coolant is low. This may seem bad to you, but it is protecting the engine. When you stop and the engine is cool, check the coolant level. If it's low refill with the proper coolant. The other possible problem is that the thermostat has failed in the open position. If that's the case your engine temperature guage should give a low reading. To fix it you'll need to replace the thermostat.
3) I get nothing, no fan, no blowing no nothing.
Well, this would seem like an electrical problem with the blower motor. Start with the fuse. If the fuse is good use a volt meter to see if there's electricity at the fan. If there is, it's probably a bad fan motor.
Now, these all pertain to vehicles without electronic climate control. Once you add a computer in between, there is a whole different set of things we need to do. And most times, its the computer that has faulted and needs to be replaced.
Good Luck!
Drive Safely!

The "supernatural amulet" story is really just a simplistic framing device. Kaitlyn takes two dicks in the pussy and a d.p. from Steve Hatcher and her husband Jay, who both blow off on her face.
The closer with Hatcher, Jay, Alex Dane and Tracey Love is completely mechanical, but viewers may appreciate a good four-fingered fingerin' of Dane's bald cooze, plus Love taking two meat missiles in her wide-spread ass.
