El Nino is back with a vengeance on his mind!!!


http://spaceweather.com/

SOMETHING BREWING IN THE PACIFIC: According to data from the NASA/French Space Agency Jason-2 satellite, something is brewing in the Pacific. Researchers say it could be a significant El Niño with implications for global weather and climate. Get the full story from Science@NASA.

(I didn't paste the whole link, so click to read more).

May 19, 2014: Every ten days, the NASA/French Space Agency Jason-2 satellite maps all the world's oceans, monitoring changes in sea surface height, a measure of heat in the upper layers of the water. Because our planet is more than 70% ocean, this information is crucial to global forecasts of weather and climate.

Lately, Jason-2 has seen something brewing in the Pacific—and it looks a lot like 1997.

"A pattern of sea surface heights and temperatures has formed that reminds me of the way the Pacific looked in the spring of 1997," says Bill Patzert, a climatologist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "That turned out to be the precursor of a big El Niño."

I thought El Niño was a myth. I was told by someone on GLB that the world has been exposed to a decade-long La Niña that explains why global temperatures hadn't continued rising.

It is because of decisions like this that I love the law (if not all clients):

If I can’t get injunctive relief to prevent my neighbor from depositing their dog’s shit in my garbage or from legally parking in front of my house, I don’t even know what the point of practicing law is anymore.

Possibly? What, someone lost track of a fridge and cant tell if it was stolen or just misplaced?


Why don't schools have security systems with a camera in every room (but restrooms)?

Money is one obstacle. If our government would quit fucking wasting it.

Imagine this. If there's a fire, all doors automatically unlock. If there is something like a shooting, a watch guard can trigger locks to lock all doors or maybe just the one that the shooter is in. You can also catch inappropriate shit that may be going on in the classrooms, etc.

If there's one thing I believe in paying taxes for, it's schools. And, I'm down for paying to keep our kids save.

I thought James Harden was sitting in front of me on a flight from Phoenix to Denver. Had exact same hair cut and beard. About the same height. Guy across from me got 2 autographs from him so I assumed it was him...after getting a picture with him...it definitely is not James Harden. He never admitted to being Harden, so I wonder what he actually signed his name as on that autograph

Tornado touchdown confirmed near DIA, looks like it's headed straight for it. A tornado hitting an airport would be horrible

Edit: Fking news people. They apologize for their report of a confirmed touchdown. It is a confirmed non-touchdown but "likely eventual tornado given the spin in the system".

One of our close friends just up and balled out. She's classified as a missing person, but we've had her spotted on surveillance cameras at a couple of places in Texas. She basically lied to everyone and run away. Her parents cut off her cards. She's 26. She took her dog and her mattress and bolted. She told different people different things, including her (about to be) fiancé that she was going to go visit him at work. (On the LA coast. Oil field shit.) She's been spotted on surveillance as alone and seemed to be fine.

Anyways, it's apparent that she's just bugging out. But, now she's an adult. She has the right to do this. So, we're at an interesting spot. Do you stop tracking her and just wait for her to come back or do you still continue with the missing person shit?

So fucking weird. She's NOT the type of person that just runs away... or has any drama whatsoever. She's a very peaceful person and no one can figure out anything that might have set her off.

If you sincerely care about her (active care, not just the whole lip service thingy), then you do what you can to reach out to her--but from what you describe, that may not be possible.

If she's merely an acquaintance, you write her off and move on with your lives.

My buddy had a daughter last night. What the hell do I bring as a gift to the first time I meet her?

Sports fan onesies?
Baby NFL jersey?
Manly diaper bag?

Assuming she retained lines of communication (email, facebook, phone #), you provide your details and say you're available any time she wants, then let her do her thing.
