MEH ON YOU, TORNADOES
by Spencer Hall on Mar 2, 2012 3:41 PM EST

PrintThe first weekend of March is here, and because they are currently popping up all over our corner of America that means it's time to tell tornadoes just how lame they really are. Except for you, Firenado. You're cool with us.
First, you don't come "out of nowhere." You make this loud train sound that gives you at least three seconds to run to the bathroom, and that's hardly stealthy. If you were an assassin, you would give out refunds like at least three or four times a year. You suck at your job. Quit. Love, Lightning and snipers.
You also claim to have this "bomb-like destructive force." In spurts, yes, but you're so random and inconsistent. You can't even level a city properly, tornadoes. There's a house right here, and then a bombed out nothing, and then like a perfectly intact house right next to it. Did your father hate you for never finishing a job? We hope he did. You probably left a whole page on your college application blank. That will only get you into UCF, and thus is its own punishment.
Hey, I'm mad at that comment because I went to UCF! Well, by our logic here you might also be a tornado, so you're not to be trusted anyway. Stop reading now and go back to being a mediocre natural phenomenon just like Orlando, and thank you for that time you beat Georgia. (Remember that? Oh, we do.)
Additionally, hurricanes own your ass, tornadoes, and are by far the superior natural disaster. They only use you as a kind of disaster subcontractor, and even then do most of the work themselves. When it came time to make a film about you, BIll Paxton and Helen Hunt got the call. Two of the most inoffensive people on the planet were your nemeses, tornadoes, and with good reason: you deserve no better. That's no offense to Bill Paxton, but if you put Danny Trejo in a movie about tornadoes they'd just flee the screen the minute a hair on his wispy Mexistache wiggled. Put Bill Paxton against one, and it chases him around for two hours like it rented Mighty Joe Young and wanted a sincere and apologetic refund.
Finally, I still jump and start toward the bathroom every time the wind gusts with any serious force against our house thanks to being in the Georgia Dome during the 2008 SEC Men's Basketball Tourney and blogging from the spot, because even though you're tiny, feeble little sky-farts, it's still enough to kill someone. Nature is both really, really dumb and stingy with the body armor for primates. Work on that, dumbass nature.
Watch your ass, and have a superb weekend despite lameass tornadoes.
ps. To hell with you, tornadoes. You're the Disney Robin Hood Prince John of villain disasters.
pps. This, in case you want to be part of our Tornado Haters' Club.

Quit. Love, Lightning and snipers.
Lightning’s usually not all that stealthy either. You can often feel (or at least detect) the static build up.
Supersonic meteorite, though… BAM. Kilotons of power, no warning. All the sudden your house is a smoldering crater, and the police say you were making meth because they don’t feel like investigating. BAM, it’s killed you AND your reputation in one fell swoop!

Had a prof in college who had been struck by lightning 3 times
Did I mention I went to a Catholic school? Did I mention he was a priest? Did I mention he once spent time in class talking about how beautiful Sophi Loren’s breasts were? Did I mention he once was on a Vespa and ran over a dog and not only didn’t stop to see if it was ok but giggle maniacally about it? Did I mention he has since coverted to Judaism, so good luck with that, Jews.

I got zapped by feeler lightning. Working in the golf club bag room when lightning brought everyone in from the course, we were frantically cleaning all the clubs as they came in. The space was partially exposed (think garage, with a lage counter spanning the door. I had a (metal) driver in my hand and heard a bunch of clicking coming from it. Split second later — lightning strike very nearby.
Good times!

Looking at what’s firing up over in AL, I’m wondering if it might be prudent to rebuild my tornado fort from last spring (now with 100% more moonshine!)… Y’all stay safe over there (and up there, more northerly bros).

Keeping an eye to the sky before laying trail tonight
There were two trails in which I hashed through stupidly inclement weather last year
One involved a tornado siren sounding as the hares left.. Trail was called off part-way through after the hail got pretty big, it sounded like trees were falling ahead in the distance, and the creek we were running through/by suddenly swelled. Plus, others were in a tunnel underneath the interstate when the water suddenly rose from around ankle-ish to waist deep or higher.
The other I honestly thought I was going to die, out in the woods when a super cell rolls through and all I can do is try to huddle behind a tree. After trees start crashing down all over the place (including one 5 feet to the left of the tree I was hiding behind), I decided to start running for any sort of housing structure for some sort of cover because I figured I was fucked if I stayed in the woods. About 2-3 minutes into the fastest I’ve ever run, I see a very bright spark around 300 feet to my right where lightning hits a transformer and knocks over a shit ton of stuff. It turns out there were hashers within about 30-50 feet of the strike from my understanding.
That second one is why I always carry a phone with me if I think there might be a chance for severe weather.
Hoping everyone gets out okay
Are they moving further south and east? If so, better check on fambly.

In terms of wreaking havoc, yeah, hurricanes win hands down.
Tornadoes have the stronger winds (and less warning – on the order of minutes instead of days), but they hit a much smaller area (individually). A small hurricane covers the same amount of area at one time that an extreme long-track tornado hits throughout its lifespan; a big hurricane can fuck things up over an area of 10,000 square miles at once. (Not to mention you have flood problems to deal with, even inland, for quite some time after the initial landfall. Ike made a royal mess of things in Illinois for a couple days due to dumping some ludicrous amount of rain.)

I was reading yesterday the warm winter caused the Gulf of Mexico to be 1C warmer then average right now.
And stuff like this is what happens as a result.
Actually
tornado outbreaks are more intense when cold air aloft meets the warm air coming up from the Gulf of Mexico. A colder winter going into spring brings more tornadoes than does a warm winter into spring.
It’s the temperature difference that makes for tornadoes. If the Gulf is a degree warmer and the North American plains are a degree warmer, the difference isn’t there.
This graph from NOAA shows the general decrease in tornadoes, essentially over the past 36 years. Ironically, as the earth has gently warmed over that time, tornado outbreaks have decreased.

However, this year’s unusually mild winter has led to ocean temperatures across the Gulf of Mexico that are approximately 1°C above average—among the top ten warmest values on record, going back to the 1800s. Averaged over the month of February, the highest sea surface temperatures on record in the Gulf between 20 – 30°N, 85 – 95°W occurred in 2002, when the waters were 1.34°C above average. Yesterday’s tornado outbreak was fueled, in part, by high instability created by unusually warm, moist air flowing north from the Gulf of Mexico due to the high water temperatures there.
This is kind of like saying Calvin Johnson's success was fueled, in part, by Reggie Ball

For the most part, just because it was there
Russia became unified in part to respond to Tatar threats, and as they kept pushing east to remove the threats, it seemed natural just to keep pushing forward. Interesting that the Russians were already at the Pacific by the early 1700s

Well once they conquered the Turkic tribes past the Urals
It was basically a pure land grab (furs, minerals, etc). Ultimately they started brushing against the Chinese, but the Chinese never really pushed hard after the 1700s. The Russians tried to get into California, but at that point the distances were so great and the payoffs diminished enough that it wasn’t worth it. They sold Alaska to us because they feared losing it to the UK.

Coniston Brewing: Bluebird Bitter. A great session beer. Light color full flavor.
Golden Road: Hefezweizen. Balanced with medium body and a dry finish that will leave you thinking about that next sip.
Brouwerij West: Tripel-9. Light malt sweetness with a final transition into a hint of warming alcohol and soft drying bitterness.
LAGUNITAS :Wilco Tango Foxtrot. Mmmm another limited release! WTF?

Typically they tell you where you rank on the wait list
Your odds of getting in from there are largely dependent on the class/program size. Out of my class of 44, six people got in off the wait list, one of whom was called the day before orientation.

Good advice
I’d also just argue for persistence. When my housemate in DC was waitlisted at his first choice program, I half-jokingly suggested that he call them up and offer to show up for the first week of classes with a lawn chair (so he wouldn’t take up an extra seat) and then let them see what he could contribute to the classroom discussions. He called them up, told them that the program was his first choice and how committed he was to being an active participant in their program, and they went ahead and let him in.
Smaller grad programs have much less formal admissions processes than undergrad, and the worst thing they can tell you is no, so go for it.

Let them know that is your first choice
(if that is true) in writing, and that you wish to remain on the waitlist. If you ever get a “are you still interested” communication say yes. Then wait and hope for the best, but line up option B.

Never been in that situation as a student,
but I’ve been on an advisory board for a HS with a waiting list. My advice is to keep in contact, but not be too pushy with it. No more than once a week, and make sure to update them with new information that can help your application, and to definitely tell them if you accept somewhere else.
My loyal heart avows no other.

I called my family at the 1st intermission, at which point it was 2-0.
The next time I saw the score, it was 5-0. Was it just a bad goaltending effort, a bad team effort, or just a particularly strong performance by the Wings?

Terrible defensive effort from the Wild
Harding let in a couple soft goals, to be sure, but the other 4 goals he had absolutely no chance at making a save. The plus side for Minnesota is that Hackett looked phenomenal in the 3rd period.

The money quote:
This area is chock full of people who are hungry for an opportunity. New graduates make up the first camp—those born and bred in the region are educated in a local network of world-class universities, leaving ready to enter the business world. The current market has forced many of these graduates to launch their careers elsewhere, causing a “brain drain,” but this trend can be stopped by providing jobs locally. Unfortunately for the economy, there’s a large group of professionals who are out of work. Engineers, laborers, techies, sales associates, managers, consultants and a whole host of others now need jobs, many of whom have years of business experience under their belt. For a savvy business owner, this second group provides a capable workforce. Why pay more to fight over average talent when you could have your choice of hirable, less expensive A-listers?

The Cat Came Back: Lyrics
As performed by Cisco Houston
Harry S. Miller (adapted by Cisco Houston)
Appears on:
LP Passing Through
LP Folk Song and Minstrelsy
CD The Folkways Years
Well old Mr. Johnson
had troubles all his own
He had an old yellow cat
that wouldn’t leave home
Tried everything he knew to do
to get the cat to stay away
Even took him up to Canada
and told him for to stay
Chorus:
But the cat came back, the very next day,
Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back
`Cause he wouldn’t stay away
Well they give a boy a dollar
for to set the cat afloat
And he took him up the river
in a sack and a boat
Well the fishin’ it was fine
till the news got around
That the boat was missing
and the boy was drowned…
Chorus:
Well the farmer on the corner
said he’d shoot him on sight
And he loaded up his gun
full of rocks and dynamite
The gun went off,
heard all over town
Little pieces of the man
was all that they found…
Chorus:
Well they finally found a way
this cat for to fix
They put him in an orange crate
on Route 66
Come a ten ton truck
with a twenty ton load
Scattered pieces of the orange crate
all down the road…
Chorus:
Now they gave him to a man
going up in the balloon
And they told him for to leave him
with the man in the moon
Well the balloon got busted,
back to earth it head,
And seven miles away
they picked the man up dead…
Chorus:
Well they took him to the shop
where the meat was ground
And they dropped him in the hopper
when the butcher wasn’t ‘round
Well the cat disappeared
with a blood-curdling shriek
And the town’s meat
tasted furry for a week…
Chorus:
Well, they took him to Cape Canaveral
and they put him in a place
Shot him in a U.S. rocket
going way out in space
Well they finally thought the cat
was out a’ human reach
Next day they got a call
from Miami Beach and…

by BamaLewie on Mar 3, 2012 11:36 AM EST via Android app up reply actions
There are no playoffs in the Premiership.
There are a couple of cup tournaments that the entire Football League play in. If you want league structure, it’s the top 20 teams in the country, playing each other twice a year, home and away. The clubs get 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, and none for a loss, standing is determined by those points. The top 4 (or maybe 5 clubs) at the end of the season get to play in the European club cup tournaments the following season, while the bottom 3 clubs at the end of the season get relegated to the Championship (second tier). The Championship then sends up the top two clubs automatically, and the clubs 3 through 6 have a two legged semifinal and then a one match playoff final for the third promotion spot.

Soccer fan question: How do you pick a team to root for?
Foreign team that is. Seems like there are a lot of odd things attached to the teams and why their fans support them. Any insights for me? Particularly for the Irish and Scottish leagues?

"Got a word for it in the states; Spell it N-E-R-D-S" -MC Frontalot
Pick the team that has the most Americans?
There are several criteria you can use:
- Style of play. Do you like straight-forward attacking, deep passes with lots of 50/50 balls, possession-based passing, or defense-first? Choose a team that fits that style.
- Personell: Any players you really like? Some promising young guys? Americans? This is risky because players transfer and you’ll have to choose between players and their old team at some point.
- Location: Any cities you like in particular?
- Team history. Do you like upstarts, traditional teams, good teams down on their luck?
- Spiders: In Scotland there’s the Catholic/protestant divide. In spain there’s Madrid and the royal squads vs the provinces.
Pick any of the big 4 teams in England, Old Firm teams in Scotland, Barça/Real in Spain, PSV/Ajax in Holland, etc without a particular reason and you’ll be branded a front-runner. So be careful.
hmm
What is the split on on the religion for the irish teams. I’ve heard about that but I can’t figure out which is which. Don’t have to worry about me picking an Old Firm team; the city of Glasgow scares the hell out of me on reputation alone
Thus far here are the rules I’m using to sift through the teams. 1. Can’t wear red. 2. Trying to find a team that’s geographically in or near the ancient land of my families, or somehow connected to them. (which requires me figuring out where that is)

Might as well follow Gaelic football
I don’t think the Irish soccer teams are worth the effort — my Irish friend just gave up and went with Everton.
You'd be better served following MLS over picking an Irish team, honestly.
The league is not any good and it’d probably be hard to follow.
Well
I am actually looking for a Scottish team. I ca’t root for an english team. And of course I cheer for Ireland and Scotland on the national stage

I see. Honestly, they have a problem similar to Ireland, outside the Old Firm.
The average attendance this season for non-old firm teams is less than 7000 per game. The lowest attendance MLS team last year drew nearly 12000; only Hearts among the non-OF teams is averaging more.
Hearts is not a bad choice I guess, if maroon is non-red enough. They’re in Edinburgh, which is a nice enough city, and they’re somewhat less hopeless than the rest of the lot. And Hearts is a pretty ballin name for a soccer team.
Hearts is a good, off-beat choice . . .
. . . but you should be aware that they’ve had serious financial difficulties this year and have even been late in making payroll to their players a couple of times. It’s a wonder they’re sitting fifth in the league table. Aberdeen used to be a good choice, too, but that was eons ago when Alex Ferguson was just getting his start as a manager.
I think the hipster choice for a Scottish side is either Inverness Caledonian Thistle (Caley) or Dunfermline (yo-yos between the SPL and Division One but the wee little home town of Eighties band Big Country).

This is good advice
Those last two lines are especially true, and you’ll probably be branded a bandwagon fan regardless of your reason for choosing a frontrunner. The first match I ever watched was a Clasico, and I knew nothing about either side, but I picked up pretty quickly which team looked like they were enjoying themselves more during the match, even when the teams were tied. That, and a few of my friends being Real Madrid supporters, drew me to Barcelona. Since then I’ve read up on their history and way of handling things. There’s probably no turning back now, and I really don’t care what people think. The most important thing in the beginning was probably their style of play, but that’s just me.

What with their experience with title-stripping and all.
Isn't it risky picking on style of play?
What happens when your team’s manager is fired and a new style of play is introduced?
You're 6 years old and watching a match with your dad. He barks at one team all throughout the match, but that team has a cool cannon in their crest so you pick that team. And stick with it for over 30 years now.

So checking out the schedule, I'm a little confused.
It says last night’s game was part of the Snowbird Invitational, but I don’t see us playing OSU anytime during the rest of the year. So does that count as a conference game? Even though it’s nuzzled between games against Florida Gulf Coast and Chicago State?
Non-conference game.
With the current scheduling, there are only 8 weekends for conference series, and no protected rivalries.

A Michigan Man may only marvel at the sea of maize and blue on Saturdays, or the face of the Lord himself. Impress the world, but be not impressed by it.
I'm confused.
The Big-Texas Collegiate Football Association brought to you be T. Boone Pickens forms in 2016 when the current Big-12 conference annexes the remnants of the MWC and C-USA and declares itself independent from the NCAA. A caste system is established to determine which schools are worthy of reaping the benefits of Texas’s fertile recruiting grounds, with the lower castes essentially serving as cannon fodder and entertainment for the association’s true power brokers. The Fiscal Policy Center in Austin provides the association’s leadership, and the association’s charter is written in blood. The champion is determined in a month long playoff and culminates in the Cotton Bowl, with the Texas State fair moving from fall to winter to accommodate the tournament.
The Spartans of Michigan State and the Aggies of Texas A&M are in no way involved. Though the Aggies are located within Texas and undoubtedly will still win recruits early in the new association’s existence, they will be stripped of their accreditation, removed from school textbooks, and it will be against the law to broadcast their games within the state’s borders.

The current NCAA system is terrible for northern teams.
There are a couple possibilities to fix that, the first of which would be to allow some fall games to count as part of the season(the number I’ve seen thrown about is ‘up to 14’). Bailing on the NCAA tournament entirely probably wouldn’t have much effect, as the Big Ten usually gets one, sometimes two bids.

Wasn't the NCAA.
The Bowl Alliance (precursor to the BCS) was set up among the other major conferences with, I believe, an agreement to shift teams around so that a 1v2 matchup was possible. The Big Ten and Pac-10 said “fuck you, we’re keeping the Rose Bowl and we don’t give a shit if that means a split title”.

anyone in the commentariat know anything about high schoolers taking a semester abroad?
my dean and mom both mentioned it in passing, and it seems better the more I think about it, and I would like to look into it with two caveats. I know 4-5 people who have gone to london/south africa and the all loved it.
1. Has to be spring semester, I worked too hard to miss my junior year of football
2. The place I go to has to speak english as a common language.

We have exchange students at the school I teach at.
My cousin did a year abroad during HS, and my family hosted a foreign exchange student when I was in college, but my brother was still in HS. It doesn’t seem to mess up the academic schedule too much, and it looks pretty good on your college applications. Finding a one-semester program will be tough, given how many classes in high school are year-long, though.

I had to take two semesters non-major chem, two semesters non-major physics (no calculus), calc I and an “advanced” math class (I took a statistics class on random sampling).
Had to take a hybrid geology/engineering class (structural geology) that had a lot of engineering students in it, and a geophysics class. But that was it for non-major courses.

You "have" to call a block or charge?
You can’t just, I dunno, not make a call if there’s no call to make?
Or, you know, his foot was in the restricted area, and it would have automatically been a block this year

My pet peeve is the refs who blow the whistle then wait to see if it goes in before choosing block or charge
But what do you expect? When you raise up a young boy's hopes and then just crush 'em. Like so many paper beer cups.
Plus it looked like the ball had already left his hand before contact.
Basket still would have counted.

It's a building modelling program that is used to predict/calculate the energy used in a building.
Pick a region/city with weather data. Model layout. Align. Fill in info about equipment, people, schedules, etc.
Then it spits out the expected values for Elec Use, Gas Use, steam, etc for a year.
I do HVAC and refrigeration (mechanical engineer) and it helps to do this to compare the efficiency of different systems.
