Living a life of luxury
By Alex Danoff on November 19, 2014 at 3:17 PM
For many drivers, the ultimate goal is to one day cruise down the road in their own brand-new, fully loaded luxury vehicle. Personally, I've always feared that owning an expensive, high-end car would make me a greater target for thieves. That's why I was so intrigued by a recent report by the National Insurance Crime […]

Karen, Make sure that you take Vitamin D every day! A research study showed that 2000 IU's of Vitamin D every day virtually eliminated colds and flu! Some researchers even believe that the flu is CAUSED by low Vitamin D levels in the blood and this is why the flu ONLY comes around in the winter. Good luck with staying healthy!

Closing Time: Twins 8, Red Sox 0 |
04.15.10 at 3:52 pm ET |
The Red Sox had their chances early against Twins starter Francisco Liriano, but after the team stranded four runners (including three in scoring position) in the first two innings, they were overmatched by the Minnesota left-hander from that point on. Liriano tossed seven shutout innings, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out eight, and the Twins lineup exerted steady pressure on the Sox pitching staff, collecting 15 hits in an 8-0 win. (Recap.)
Key Play
The Red Sox mounted a scoring threat right out of the gate. With one out in the top of the first inning, Dustin Pedroia singled and Victor Martinez doubled to put runners on second and third with one outs. That brought cleanup man Kevin Youkilis to the plate.
Youkilis typically excels in such situations. In his career, he entered Thursday with a line of .453/.468/.726/1.194 and 117 RBI in 171 plate appearances. But on Thursday, Youkilis struck out on three pitches, the last a nasty slider that he swung and missed. Liriano got Adrian Beltre to ground out to escape the threat unharmed.
Had Youkilis and the Sox jumped on the Twins left-hander early, the game might have assumed another complexion. But with those early missed opportunities, Liriano had the opportunity to settle in and dominate.
What Went Right For the Red Sox
–Dustin Pedroia laced three singles, and now has four multi-hit games this year, tied with Jacoby Ellsbury for most on the Red Sox. While April has typically been the worst month of the season for Pedroia (entering Thursday, his career average, OBP, slugging and OPS were all lower in April than in any other month of the year), he's been great thus far this year, hitting .405 with a 1.253 OPS.
–Scott Schoeneweis continued to show promise as a left-handed specialist. Most notably, he punched out Joe Mauer with two outs and a runner on second to end a threat in the sixth. Though Justin Morneau and Jason Kubel later lined singles off of him, he has struck out six of the 10 left-handers he's faced (while allowing three singles). Schoeneweis did, however, give up a two-run homer to right-hander Michael Cuddyer on a towering flyball just over the left-field fence, a couple feet to the right of the foul pole.
–Bill Hall took a pair of walks from Liriano. Not only was he the only Sox hitter to take a walk, but the game marked the first time since last April 27 that Hall had as many as two free passes in a game. For a hitter who finished 2009 with a .258 OBP, that is somewhat encouraging.
–Ramon Ramirez got his first swing and miss of the season, getting a fastball past Nick Punto. The promise, however, was short lived, as Punto doubled on the next pitch. Ramirez did get a couple more swings and misses in the eighth inning, and was credited with 1.2 shutout innings.
What Went Wrong For the Red Sox
–The Twins jumped all over Tim Wakefield, collecting 10 hits and six runs (five earned) against him in 5.1 innings. Wakefield kept the Sox in the game through four innings, in which he limited Minnesota to a single run, but a mix of some bad luck (notably including a Denard Span bloop double down the left field line) and some knuckleballs over the middle of the plate did in the knuckleballer's day.
–The defense was sloppy. The Sox committed three errors: one by Hall (making his first start in center since 2007) who overran a single, one by Victor Martinez (on a rushed throw to second, which he once again fired high and right) and one by Adrian Beltre.
The team was also hurt by a mental error from Martinez. With runners on first and second in the bottom of the sixth, Denard Span hit a run-scoring double. But Kubel stumbled while rounding third, leaving Span far off of second. Martinez hesitated, then threw behind Span at second. His throw there was late, and it allowed Kubel to race home with a run.
While Martinez has just one error thus far this year, he has performed poorly behind the plate.
–Adrian Beltre got into his second three-ball count of the season when he took a 2-2 pitch with the bases loaded and one out in the top of the eighth inning. However, in a situation where a walk would have meant a run, he chased a fastball that might have been ball four, pulling an up-and-away fastball to shortstop for a 6-4-3 inning-ending double play. Beltre has now batted 34 times this year without a walk.
–J.D. Drew went 0-for-4 and struck out three times. While all of his at-bats came against left-handed pitchers, Drew has struggled throughout the early days of the season, hitting .143 with a .476 OPS and 13 strikeouts in 28 at-bats.
–With Jacoby Ellsbury already out, Mike Cameron also proved unable to play due to a lower abdominal strain. If those two are unavailable, the Sox bench becomes extremely thin, without a desirable outfield backup behind the outfield combination of Jeremy Hermida, Bill Hall and J.D. Drew.

Jeff co-founded the Weather Underground in 1995 while working on his Ph.D. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters from 1986-1990.
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 12:54 PM GMT vào 09 Tháng mười hai, 2010
A continuation of the pattern of much above-average Atlantic hurricane activity we've seen since 1995 is on tap for 2011, according to the latest seasonal forecast issued Wednesday by Dr. Phil Klotzbach and Dr. Bill Gray of Colorado State University (CSU). They are calling for 17 named storms, 9 hurricanes, and 5 intense hurricanes. An average season has 10 - 11 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 intense hurricanes. The new forecast is a very aggressive one, since only six seasons since 1851 have had as many as 17 named storms; 19 seasons have had 9 or more hurricanes. The 2011 forecast calls for a much above-average chance of a major hurricane hitting the U.S., both along the East Coast (49% chance, 31% chance is average) and the Gulf Coast (48% chance, 30% chance is average). The Caribbean is forecast to have a 62% chance of seeing at least one major hurricane (42% is average.) Five years with similar pre-season November atmospheric and oceanic conditions were selected as "analogue" years that the 2011 hurricane season may resemble: 2008, 1999, 1989, 1961, and 1956. The average activity for these years was 12 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes.
The forecasters cited several reasons for their forecast of a much above-average season:
1) Unusually warm sea surface temperatures continue in the tropical Atlantic this fall, an indication that the active hurricane period we have been in since 1995 will continue (in technical terms, the positive phase of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, AMO, will continue.) SSTs in Atlantic Main Development Region (MDR) for hurricanes, from the Caribbean eastwards to the coast of Africa, were at a record high in October (November data are not yet available.)
2) Hurricane activity in the Atlantic is lowest during El Niño years and highest during La Niña or neutral years. This occurs because El Niño events tend to increase westerly upper-level winds over the tropical Atlantic, bringing high wind shear harmful for hurricanes. The CSU team notes that we are currently experiencing moderate to strong La Niña conditions, with an unusual amount of cool water present in the top 300 meters of the Equatorial Pacific Ocean off the coast of South America. Since 1979, only eight years have had similar amounts of cool water in November. The hurricane seasons that followed each of those eight years were unable to transition to El Niño conditions. Thus, the CSU team expects that we will have neutral or La Niña conditions in place for the Atlantic hurricane season of 2011, which should act to keep wind shear values average to below average, enhancing hurricane activity. Of the 16 El Niño/La Niña computer models that made November predictions for the July-August-September 2011 portion of hurricane season (Figure 1), only 4 (25%) predicted that El Niño would arrive.
How accurate are the December forecasts?
The CSU real-time December forecasts did not shown any skill over the period 1992 - 2007, so the forecast scheme was overhauled and a new scheme implemented for the forecasts made for the 2008 - 2010 hurricane seasons. This new scheme showed some decent skill in those three years, with skill levels 18%, 10%, and 30% above chance for predicting the number of named storms, hurricanes, and intense hurricanes, respectively. Still, three years is too short of a time period to evaluate the skill of these December forecasts, and we should view the latest forecast as an experimental research product. Last year's December forecast for the 2010 hurricane season predicted 13.5 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 4 intense hurricanes. The actual numbers were 19 named storms, 12 hurricanes, and 5 intense hurricanes.
Figure 1. Forecasts of El Niño conditions by 20 computer models, made in November 2010. The longest range forecasts for July-August-September (JAS) at the right side of the image show that 4 models predict weak El Niño conditions, 7 predict neutral conditions, and 5 predict a weak to moderate La Niña. El Niño conditions are defined as occurring when sea surface temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific off the coast of South America (the "Niño 3.4 region) rise to 0.5°C above average (top red line). La Niña conditions occur when SSTs in this region fall to 0.5°C below average. Image credit: Columbia University.
2011 Atlantic hurricane season forecast from Tropical Storm Risk, Inc.
The British private forecasting firm Tropical Storm Risk, Inc. (TSR), issued their 2011 Atlantic hurricane season forecast on Monday. They are also calling for a very active year: 15.6 named storms, 8.4 hurricanes, and 4 intense hurricanes. TSR predicts a 66% chance of an above-average hurricane season, 22% chance of a near-normal season, and only a 12% chance of a below normal season. TSR bases their December forecast on predictions that sea surface temperatures next fall in the tropical Atlantic will be above about 0.3°C above average, and trade wind speeds will be about 0.7 m/s slower than average. The trade wind speed prediction is based on a forecast for a weak La Niña in August-September 2011.
I like how TSR puts their skill level right next to the forecast numbers: 2% skill above chance at forecasting the number of named storms, 1% skill for hurricanes, and 7% skill for intense hurricanes. That's not much skill, and really, we have to wait until the June 1 forecasts by CSU, NOAA, and TSR to get a forecast with reasonable skill.
Comparing 2005 and 2010 steering currents
The U.S. got extremely fortunate during the 2010 hurricane season that the steering currents carried most of the storms out to sea, or forced them to the south. A very graphic way of looking at this is to compare the amount of rain that fell due to tropical cyclones in the Atlantic in 2005 versus 2010 (Figure 2.) The U.S. received a direct hit only from Tropical Storm Bonnie, which hit South Florida as a minimal 40 mph tropical storm and caused no significant damage. TSR is predicting that this luck will not hold in 2010; they project that five named storms will hit the U.S., with two of these being hurricanes.
Figure 2. Rainfall amounts due to all Atlantic tropical cyclones in 2005 and 2010, as measured by NASA's TRMM satellite. Steering currents in 2010 tended to recurve many storms out to sea between the Caribbean and Bermuda, due to a large number of unusually strong troughs of low pressure moving off the U.S. East Coast.
Weekend winter storm for Eastern U.S.
The latest 06Z (1am EST) set of computer model forecasts for this weekend's winter storm over the Midwest and Eastern U.S. point towards a more northerly path for the storm, bringing the axis of heaviest snow through Wisconsin and Michigan. There is still a great deal of uncertainty in the predicted timing and strength of the storm, but a renewed blast of cold air Monday and Tuesday over the Southeast U.S. is still highly likely in the wake of the storm.

GOM IR Loop dee Loop Area forecast discussion National Weather Service New Orleans la 912 am CST Sat Dec 11 2010 Update... ..sounding discussion... No problems with the flight this morning. The lower levels are beginning to moisten up as southerly winds increase ahead of a strong approaching frontal boundary with a precipitable water of 0.78 inches. A large cap of dry air remains in place above 725 millibars. A moderate to strong westerly flow in place from 800 millibars up through the upper levels. A broken to overcast deck of stratocumulus clouds in place at around 4000 feet where dewpoint depressions are around 5 degrees farenheit. && Previous discussion... /issued 520 am CST Sat Dec 11 2010/ Synopsis... surface high pressure ridge covers the far eastern Continental U.S.. a strong cold front extended from a low pressure area over western Iowa to another low pressure area over north central Texas. Northwest winds were gusting in the 35 to 45 miles per hour range over much of South Dakota and Nebraska. An upper trough over the northern/Central Plains was amplifying and driving southeast. Short term /today through Monday night/... the upper trough and cold front will continue to move rapidly southeast today and tonight. The cold front will enter the northwest portion of the forecast area early in the evening then move off the coast around midnight or shortly thereafter. Am favoring the faster GFS model which does not allow much in the way of warm sector instability to return before the frontal passage this evening. There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms over roughly the northern half of the forecast area this afternoon and evening. The severe potential is dependent on better daytime heating and dewpoints higher than the upper 50s/near 60 indicated by the mav guidance. Upstream dewpoints at this time are only in the upper 40s to lower 50s over the central Gulf of Mexico...but veering low level winds late in the afternoon should allow the higher upper 50s dewpoints now over the northwest Gulf to move into our area. Dynamics and kinematics/wind fields will be strong...so any higher than forecast instability could allow numerous severe thunderstorms with damaging straight line winds and isolated tornadoes to develop. A few showers may linger for an hour or two behind the front...but fairly rapid clearing is expected after midnight to 3 am. Regarding winds...models show northwest winds behind the cold front as high as 35 to 45 knots at 2000 feet...and near 50 knots at 3000 feet. A tight pressure gradient and strong cold air advection will allow some stronger wind gusts of 35 to 40 knots over some land areas...mainly near the tidal lakes and coast. Sustained winds will be mostly in the 20 to 30 miles per hour range. Our local Wind Advisory criteria...over 25 miles per hour...will be met along the South Shore of lakes Pontchartrain and Maurepas and extending south to the coast. A Wind Advisory has been issued valid from midnight tonight to 3 PM Sunday. |
Quoting Skyepony: How disturbing. How sad. Yet how utterly unsurprising... |
Quoting JRRP: No. During the positive ("warm") phase of the PDO, the western Pacific cools while the eastern Pacific warms; the opposite happens during the negative ("cool") phase. The maps I posted, then, clearly do not show such a phenomenon; they show, rather, an increasing heating up of the entire planet. That is, global warming. |
Yeah,,,itsa state secret. AMO PDO = Temperature Variation: One Graph Does Not Says It All Published by Briggs at 8:44 am under Climatology,Statistics Introduction Anthony Watts over at Watts Up With That incidentally, a blog title infinitely superior to William M. Briggs, Statistician asked me to comment on Joe Aleo and Don Easterbrooks new paper, Multidecadal tendencies in ENSO and global temperatures related to multidecadel oscillations.

It does not matter that their paper has been released unto the aether and that it has not gone through the tempering process of peer review. That is, their results are not false because a hostile editor did not have a chance to reject them. Anybody who thus shouts, No peer review! to reject D&E has fallen prey to the I want it to be false, therefore it is false fallacy. When we hear this argument, it tells us more about the person making it than it does about the thesis under consideration. A truth is true wherever it is spoken. Im surprised at how often this has to be pointed out. AMO & PDO First some statistical truths. The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) is a function of sea surface temperature. The brother Pacific Multidecadal Oscillation (PDO) is also a function of sea surface temperature. They are called mutidecadal oscillations because these indexes have been found empirically to bounce up then down on something like a decadal time scale. The bouncing is not perfectly regular nor entirely predictable, the Earth being what she is. Since the AMO and PDO are functions of sea surface temperature, the mechanisms that cause temperature to change will cause these indexes to change. Examples of mechanisms: solar output, continental shift, land-use changes, atmospheric gas changes, and so forth. Note carefully that none of these are themselves functions of temperature. What about ocean currents? Well, those dont sound like temperature, but they're closely related because currents change partly in relation to how air temperature changes. That is, changes in air temperature are naturally correlated with changes in ocean circulation. Obviously, sea surface temperature, thus AMO and PDO, must be highly correlated with air temperatures. When AMO or PDO goes up or down, we should expect that, on average, air temperature will go up or down. There is no mystery why this is so. Thus, direct correlations of the AMO and PDO and air temperature are of little use. Since AMO is a function of sea surface temperature and PDO is a function of sea surface temperature, if either of these functions of sea surface temperature did not correlate with air temperature, we should be very worried. But about our analysis, not the climate. Of course, adding two functions of sea surface temperature together AMO PDO produces yet one more function of sea surface temperature. These indexes can be of some predictive use for air temperature, but only if the mechanisms that cause changes in sea surface temperature precede changes in air temperature. Loosely, in how sea surface temperatures now will drive air temperatures later. The usefulness is limited because many of the mechanisms that drive sea surface temperatures also drive changes in air temperatures. See below for what this means. Now, the Atlantic is one side of the world, the Pacific the other. The AMO thus is a proxy for sea surface temperatures on one side, the PDO the other. Added together, we should have a rough idea of the sea surface temperature over the whole world; at least, the addition would almost certainly be a better measure than either alone. |
Quoting FFtrombi:We collectively do not know the answer to that... |

Blackened Pork: Liquid Coal Subsidies Sneak into Senate Tax Bill Is regular coal not dirty enough for you? Meet liquid coal fuel! Destructive to mine, water-intensive to manufacture, devastating to our climate at every step of the way – liquid coal is one of the world's dirtiest fuels. Liquid coal production emits twice as much global warming pollution as gasoline & requires at least four gallons of water per gallon of fuel produced. Today the National Wildlife Federation has learned the Senate version of tax legislation includes subsidies for liquid coal fuels. Section 704 of the Senate tax bill as written right now would extend the Alternative Fuel Tax Credit to liquid coal, giving a 50-cent tax credit for each gallon of liquid coal sold or used in a fuel mixture. While many senators have fought to include important clean energy provisions in the the tax package, the National Wildlife Federation strongly opposes expanding alternative fuel tax credits to cover dirty liquid coal. Why? For starters, the provision could cost taxpayers $400 million per plant, every year. That's on top of the subsidy coal already receives by not having to pay for its pollution – today in America, polluters can dump as much carbon pollution as they want into our atmosphere free of charge. The carbon-intensive process of turning coal into liquid fuel is only part of the equation. The liquid coal is then burned by the vehicle, where it emits even more carbon pollution than traditional gasoline, along with plenty of other pollutants to the air in our communities. And of course there are all the ecological risks linked to coal mining – habitat loss, ground water contamination & mountaintop removal. Why does the coal industry need these huge subsidies? The coal business is in the black these days (no pun intended). Peabody Energy, the largest private-sector coal company in the world, just reported its profits doubled the last quarter to $224 million in just those three months. But while coal-fired electrical power is incredibly profitable, producing dirty liquid coal fuels is phenomenally expensive. Liquid coal facilities cost as much as $6 billion for a single plant. The bottom line is, liquid coal can't stand on its own two legs. It needs massive subsidies from Congress AND it needs to be able to treat our atmosphere like an open sewer. If both of those things aren't true, liquid coal simply can't compete with cleaner energy sources. |
Her's a great pair of images from the NASA Earth Observatory Site. The top map shows temperature anomalies--that is, how much warmer the world was--in the years 1970–1979 compared to the average temperature from 1951–1980. You can see that some parts of the Earth warmed and others cooled in the 1970s. The bottom map is the same, only showing anomalies from 2000–2009 compared to 1951–1980. Even if you throw out the polar measurements--say, anything north of 60 degrees N. and south of 60 degrees south, as some would like to do--you'll still be hard-pressed to find many areas of anomalous cooling in the bottom map. interesting, no? |
Meanwhile, it's shaping up to be a great day in the Bahamas...

Hey Orca... u're up early this Sat. a.m.... golfing? LOL |
Quoting OGal: It's smoggy here in my part of Collier County; smoke from a few local brush fires is mixing in with the cold fog, making this place look and feel like Denver. Only without the mountains. Aside from enforcing strict anti-gouging laws, that freeze emergency declaration is mainly for the benefit of growers; it allows them to temporarily bypass standard weight and size restrictions where transporting produce is concerned. Bottom line: if you're planning on doing any driving in Central Florida next week, be on the lookout for overweight, extra-wide, double-bottom trailers. They'll be easy to spot; just watch for the trucks dropping bouncing oranges. ;-) |
Nevermind Link |
Quoting OGal: Where did you see that? |
That should fire up the GW believers..... ....................................... Leon and EJ....If it wasn't for you I'd be happy....If it wasn't for bad you'de be good.... |
54 hour 6Z NAM...cold air diving well into peninsula Florida.... 78 hour 6Z GFS... |
Good Morning Everyone, lots of fog here in Orlando too. Nice temps later today and then the bottom falls out tomorrow night. Governor Charlie Crist has issued a State of Emergency for Florida due to the cold temperatures. |
Quoting natrwalkn:It's the places at the poles that are going to be worst hit if we don't find an energy solution soon. Keep in mind that before fossil fuel consumption became heavy pple in these areas were burning their trees.... think about a "Haitified" Canada, Russia, South Africa, Argentina.... alternatively, think about population shifts to areas S of 30N.... if our currently climate shift carries with it at least the potential for more extreme winter events due to shifts in wx patterns, we could be in for a rough ride.... I see your point, not so much for how difficult it would be to change away from fossil fuels to something else based on the science / technology, but because due to inertia the vast majority of societies are not going to make the necessary changes now, when there's still some energy reserve left to fuel the transition. Fuel and water.... the hidden international dispute issues of the 21st century.... |
Quoting EnergyMoron:Wish I could afford to implement here. Here in Nassau it's easy to pay $1000 per MONTH for one household's electricity bills, especially during the summer. Long-term, solar would be cheaper. |
Quoting noorapac:Is this attitude why the world is such a mess? Have we come to such an automatic and complete disrespect of knowledge? |
I think that all the evidence I have seen overwhelmingly supports AGW. However, the reason we haven't stopped using fossil fuels is because there is nothing that can come close to generating enough energy to sustain the industrialized society we live in now without using fossil fuels. If we stopped using fossil fuels immediately, the death toll on the planet would surge into the multiple millions or even billions because we cannot sustain our current population without fossil fuels. Unless some startling and miraculous scientific breakthrough is made, we will continue to burn fossil fuels until they are all gone, and when production begins a marked trend downward worldwide, nobody will be worried about AGW anymore because there will be much worse things to worry about. Just my pessimistic opinion that we will not find an adequate replacement for fossil fuels fast enough to avoid global disaster. |
Quoting KerryInNOLA: Huh? Not controlling hurricanes mean we can't change the climate? Like, we can't cure cancer so therefore murder is impossible? Scientists aren't cooking the books but to agree with you in a sense, the images and graphs are much more believable. Forget the ones that have been attacked by big oil in their waves of disinformation, look at the pictures and look at this graph in particular. The scientists haven't hidden 70% of the ice in the arctic to make a cover story for a new grant. If they could hide that ice, we would all be slaves to their awesome power and they wouldn't need grants. 70% of the ice volume! It's like ice skating when you are a kid, the ice gets thinner and thinner before it goes away ... yet it is still being spun as staying the same because the flat extent is up and down (though that is finally decreasing as well.) At what point do you stop trying to win an argument by argumentative techniques and accept that if you want to maintain integrity you have to answer to physical reality? |
It is really foggy here. |
Quoting FLWaterFront: I wish there was more info on that storm, I tried doing web searches in the past and gotten little more than a paragraph or two. |
Quoting TampaFLUSA: Yes it did and it was a lot more than just a few flurries. It was in February of that year and is still referred to as "The (Florida) Blizzard of 1899" or words to that effect. In fact, Gulf effect snow flurries have happened quite a few times during severe cold snaps, when the temps are low enough and the winds are strong enough. Usually though, they are very light and only seen very near the shore. There was also an "ocean effect" event a few years back along the FL East coast, in the area around Cape Canaveral and points north. |
Quoting EnergyMoron: I don't think the NWS Tampa cares, if so they would have a Cat 5 hitting us or Miami once a week during hurricane season.;) Gulf effect snow hit the area in 1899 I believe. |
Quoting TampaFLUSA: RLMREO.... gulf effect snow. Are the folks in the link are reading this blog? The analysis is sound. Good night (for real) |
Quoting EnergyMoron: Ehh? All I added was Gulf effect snow headline, which it would be. Here's the link Link |
Quoting TampaFLUSA: Thanks if you did it on purpose.... the way you structured your quote was easy to edit on "quote". Answer is easy (I just don't say this is easy but give the easy answer...) - NAO (negative North Atlantic Oscillation). Learned about it on this blog BTW. |
GULF EFFECT SNOW POSSIBLE N OF TAMPA Public Information Statement Statement as of 8:30 PM EST on December 10, 2010 ... Another Arctic airmass expected early next week... So what happened to the forecast of a near to slightly above normal winter? Well as occurred last winter the Arctic oscillation (ao) has begun to dominate the weather pattern across the U.S. Overwhelming the effects of the El Nino southern oscillation (el nino/la nina). The ao is a short term oscillation on the scale of a week or two while the enso is much longer on the scale of months. The ao has little effect on our weather during the Summer months... but during the winter there is a high correlation between it and the temperatures we experience. Therefore... during the winter months the ao can radically change the temperatures across the area causing either much above or much below normal temperatures. As it turns out the ao went into a highly negative phase back around November 20th and bottomed out around the 27th. It has since recovered back to around neutral... but as is generally the case during the late fall and winter months there is about a 10 to 14 day lag before the effects of the ao are felt here in Florida. Therefore... when the ao GOES highly negative we tend to see below normal temperatures within about two weeks or so and when it GOES highly positive we see above normal temperatures. So based on this theory we should see closer to normal temperatures return during the middle of December... but if the forecast models are correct the ao is expected to go highly negative again in the next week or so which would bring more cold weather the week before and after Christmas. More information and graphics about the ao can be found on the climate prediction center web site listed below: Http://www.CPC.NOAA.Gov/products/precip/cwlink/daily_ao_index/ao.Shtml So with this in mind its not surprising that another blast of Arctic air is forecast to move into the region early next week... about two weeks after the ao bottomed out. During Sunday a strong cold front will move across the region followed by an area of cold Canadian high pressure that will usher in the next shot of cold Arctic air for Sunday night through about Wednesday. Temperatures during this time period are expected to be about 15 to as much as 30 degrees below normal... or at least as cold as what we saw earlier this week. Ahead of the front southwest to west winds will increase to 15 to 25 mph with higher gusts Sunday morning then shift to northwest to north behind the front. Over the coastal waters the winds will be even stronger... especially behind the front as the cold air moves across the relative warm Gulf waters... with gusts possibly to gale force. The brisk conditions will continue through Monday over the coastal waters and mariners may want to postpone or reschedule trips during this time period. Also with the winds shifting from southwest to northwest during Sunday some minor coastal flooding may occur... especially along northwest facing coasts like along portions of Pasco and northern Pinellas counties. At this time tides on Sunday are expected to run about 1 to 2 feet above normal from the Tampa Bay area northward and about 1 foot above normal further south. The cold air will become firmly entrenched during Sunday night into Monday as the breezy northwest to north winds persist with forecast lows dropping into the 30s and 40s combining with the winds to cause wind chill values in the 20s and 30s. Daytime highs on Monday will only climb into the lower 50s north to around 60 south. And if all of this was not enough... late Sunday night into Monday morning the combination of the cold air moving across the relatively warm Gulf waters could cause some Gulf effect sprinkles to develop... possibly even a few snow flurries north of the Tampa Bay area. The second night after the cold front moves through is typically the coldest night which in this case is Monday night. A hard freeze is likely across the Nature Coast Monday night into Tuesday morning with low temperatures forecast to fall into the lower to mid 20s... including 7 to 11 hours of temperatures below freezing. Further south across the remainder of inland west central and southwest Florida a freeze is likely... possibly a hard freeze in a few spots... with temperatures forecast to drop into the mid 20s to lower 30s... including 3 to as much as 8 hours of temperatures below freezing. Similar to earlier this week coastal areas will most likely escape the freezing temperatures... but still fall into the mid 30s to lower 40s. Winds will lighten some Monday night away from the coast... but continue between 5 and 10 mph so the threat of frost will remain low. During Tuesday and Tuesday night winds will diminish as the high pressure moves toward the area with daytime temperatures remaining rather cool and only climbing into the mid 50s north to lower 60s south. Temperatures Tuesday night are expected to be the same or a couple of degrees warmer than Monday night... but because the winds are forecast to become light the threat of frost will increase and become a good possibility. Finally during Wednesday temperatures will begin to moderate with highs climbing back into the 60s. However... the high will remain across the region into Wednesday night with yet another chilly night expected along with the possibility of some frost... especially across the Nature Coast. Over this weekend residents should prepare for the upcoming cold weather. These types of severe freezes can pose a significant threat to agriculture... exposed water pipes... such as those at houses on stilts... some trailers... and pipes connected to swimming pools. It can also be dangerous to people and pets that lack adequate protection. All residents and visitors of west central and southwest Florida should stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or your local media for further updates on this developing cold outbreak. ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
On the cold weather discussion of this blogs influence on my garden Garden Interesting to see the most interesting outside aspect of the house is the... garden. Nobody in any of the commentary on the article has noticed that there are solar panels (so much for the HOA argument sometimes used that they are ugly... the reality is that with a nice garden... they ain't noticed). Anyway, There is a comment on the linked blog that talks about plant height. Fair enough... the salvias in the photo on the link were planted in March of this year. The "stars" of the linked photo were planted in February of this year. I had to make a decision on temperatures (the counterpoint being if I wait too late the root setting will not handle the summer). Thanks to this blog the temperature on March 1 (or whatever day the minimum was reached) was about 29 at my house. Success (enough to make the papers). The flowers on the front row were in the ground for 1 week at the time. |
Quoting Ossqss: 428. My 12 year old does the same thing. I don't believe her either. |
which is beginning to spin up nicly |
Quoting BahaHurican: RLMREO (really laughed my rear end off) True. Same for AGW. The rest of your post is very sane and reflects also the AGW reality. There is a high uncertainty level. Well, given that fossil fuels are finite stores of solar energy.... I just decided to use the solar directly. |
Orleans High Wind Watch Statement as of 3:44 PM CST on December 10, 2010 ... High wind watch in effect from Saturday evening through Sunday morning... The National Weather Service in New Orleans has issued a high wind watch... which is in effect from Saturday evening through Sunday morning. Strong northwest winds 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 45 mph are possible south and southeast of tidal lakes late Saturday evening through early Sunday morning. Gusts up to 50 mph are possible along and immediately south of the shoreline of Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A high wind watch means there is the potential for a hazardous high wind event. Sustained winds of at least 40 mph... or gusts of 58 mph or stronger may occur. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts. |

It's like they're both trying to kill the comic industry...
It is changing the business model, companies need to adapt. If they do go all digital they just need to be in a universal format all the readers can read them in. It also saves comic book companies money, since they don't have the cost of printing the books, or shipping them.
I'm not talking about going digital. Yes, I agree it's the way of the future (although I have yet to read a digital comic from DC or Marvel directly that's better quality than some of the ones I've illegally downloaded, but that's another conversation). I'm talking about the exclusiveness. If I want to read DC digital comics and Marvel digital comics on a tablet, I have to get a kindle fire and a nook. These exclusive wars aren't actually helping the comic book industry. You know how successful itunes would have been if you could only listen to itunes music on your ipod or that your ipod would only play itunes music? Not at all. And comics are a much more niche industry. If comics aren't easy to access, it's not going to matter who's on top of the sales chart because the whole industry will die.

Where there are prostitutes, there are almost always gangs. Use prostitutes to gather information on the gangs in your area and to prevent violent crimes. Courtesy Matthew O'Deane
What's a pimp, and how do pimps control prostitutes? What's the connection between pimps and criminal street gangs? And how do the police typically respond to this problem? There are certainly a lot of interesting questions that come up when discussing the issues of prostitution, pimping and the connection these activities have to criminal street gangs.
The Basics
A pimp is essentially a prostitute's boss. They live off the earnings of the prostitutes that work for them. By some estimates, pimps take 60 - 90% of prostitutes' earnings. It's unclear what percentage of street prostitutes have pimps; prostitutes are often reluctant to talk to anyone about their pimps. As such, it's difficult for police to make cases against pimps without the cooperation of the prostitute.
What is known about the subject, however, is that the pimp-prostitute relationship is typically abusive, with the pimp using techniques such as psychological intimidation, manipulation and physical force to control the prostitutes he sends out to work.
Pimps recruit and socialize prostitutes into the prostitution subculture by appealing to either their desire for money or their desire for what they believe will be a glamorous and exciting lifestyle. While pimps don't usually protect their prostitutes against violent clients (because they are not in the location where the sexual acts take place), pimps protect their prostitutes from being assaulted or harassed by other pimps in other gangs.
Pimps & Gangs
A large percentage of pimps are also documented gang members, which causes concerns for police agencies. So how does pimping benefit a criminal street gang? Primarily, pimping rivals narcotic sales as a major source of funding for many gangs.
Gangs need money to survive, and money equates to power and respect. While selling drugs may be lucrative for a gang, this activity often carries significant risk as stiff legal penalties and harsh mandatory minimum sentencing laws exist. However, with pimping, gang members still make money while the prostitutes themselves bear the majority of the risk.
Pimping also benefits the gang's recruitment of new members. In addition to having women available for sex, the money brought in by prostitution allows gang members to buy cars, clothes and weapons, all of which help to recruit younger members into the gang. Pimping also increases the status of the gang within the community and with other gangs.
Pimps in gangs often mentor each other. In the gang world, the respect a member earns from his own gang (as well as from other gangs) is connected to how much money he brings into the gang and/or how violent he is. Mentoring is important to support this concept. Gangsters will often give advice to each other about how and where to pimp, as well as how to avoid police.
Police Response
The majority of prostitutes are not gang members themselves. More often than not, they start out as a girlfriend of a gangster, and are then turned out and put to work selling their bodies for the benefit of the gang. As a result, many police officers have widely different views on prostitution and what role the police should play in addressing this issue.
For example, some officers may view the prostitutes as being responsible for the problem and feel they pose a significant threat to the safety of a community. Other officers view the clients as being responsible for creating the demand for the prostitutes. Essentially, communities have different morals and viewpoints about the issue of prostitution and how it should be tackled.
Although there may be a lack of consensus about what to do to combat prostitution, most cops agree that something needs to be done about the pimps who benefit themselves and their gangs from the money that prostitution brings in.

Customer Reviews
Doesn't work
I purchased this app and trying to burn disk with no success. It keeps crashing and it won't load at all anymore. I've gone through 5 discs with no luck. Now it is just annoying. The app did not burn the disk. I fell completely ripped off. And I am not going to waste my time trying to use. So bad it's almost impressive.
This app is completely unnecessary. I don't even know what I am getting this app. I actually hate this app. Please fix this asap!!
Worst product I've ever bought
It doesn't seem to work. I hope this app can help me. But It almost always force closes. It can't even reliably burn simple discs once. Did not work for what I needed. This makes me angry. I have had a truly awful experience with this app. Since I was not able to run it. So incredibly useless. It's not worth the time and the price! A pile of garbage.
works great
I had no problems, it was easy and worked great!
