Re: Have you even taken your pet with you while shopping?

Yes, there are a few places that let dogs in.  I bring them with me on errands all the time.

what is your current points and level in this website?

How much have you scored in his site and what is your current level. I'm still in first level but I hope soon I will enter the next level.

This is way better than the Facebook thing.   I'm glad to see people here.

Re: How do you feel about the movie Inside Out?

Looks cute but I've only seen a couple of ads for it. Hope you enjoy it (and the rest of your b~day too).

Re: A Dirge to Sodahead

I think you hit the nail on the head, Scheissegal... there was something unique about SH that made it a REAL family (online tho it might be for most of us). Just as in a real family, there were people who said things I did NOT like in the least, but that didn't matter. I enjoyed reading people's opinions on some of the stupidest stuff... people who were my friends, people I didn't agree with at all and people I'd not encountered before.  In the almost 4 years I was on, I opened up about things I rarely shared IRL. It was freeing, it was comforting. I learned alot about people (both good & "bad") and that felt great; even, as I said, when it was over the silliest stuff. Personally, I'm still in the "anger" stage of loss. Right now I'm just hoping not to lose that really special experience I'd looked forward to so very often.

Haven't seen it yet

Re: A Dirge to Sodahead

I discovered sodahead back in December of 2011 which wasn't the greatest time in my life my mother passed away in june of that year at age 48 I still griefing especially the holidays coming up. I came across sodahead when I saw my brother's account on there I thought it interesting so I created my own account. Being on that site for 3 years (would of been 4 in december) was great made alot of great friends on there. got to express my opinions on topics was easy to use. hopefully I can find another site sodahead

Climate "scientists" caught falsifying data AGAIN

NOAA Fiddles With Climate Data To Erase The 15-Year Global Warming 'Hiatus'


National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists have found a solution to the 15-year "pause" in global warming: They "adjusted" the hiatus in warming out of the temperature record.

New climate data by NOAA scientists doubles the warming trend since the late 1990s by adjusting pre-hiatus temperatures downward and inflating temperatures in more recent years.

"Newly corrected and updated global surface temperature data from NOAA's [National Centers for Environmental Information] do not support the notion of a global warming 'hiatus,'" wrote NOAA scientists in their study presenting newly adjusted climate data.

To increase the rate in warming, NOAA scientists put more weight on certain ocean buoy arrays, adjusted ship-based temperature readings upward, and slightly raised land-based temperatures as well. Scientists said adjusted ship-based temperature data "had the largest impact on trends for the 2000-2014 time period, accounting for 0.030°C of the 0.064°C trend difference." They added that the "buoy offset correction contributed 0.014°C... to the difference, and the additional weight given to the buoys because of their greater accuracy contributed 0.012°C."

NOAA says for the years 1998 to 2012, the "new analysis exhibits more than twice as much warming as the old analysis at the global scale," at 0.086 degrees Celsius per decade compared to 0.039 degrees per decade.

"This is clearly attributable to the new [Sea Surface Temperature] analysis, which itself has much higher trends," scientists noted in their study. "In contrast, trends in the new [land surface temperature] analysis are only slightly higher."

Global surface temperature data shows a lack of statistically significant warming over the last 15 years — a development that has baffled climate scientists. Dozens of explanations have been offered to explain the hiatus in warming, but those theories may be rendered moot by NOAA's new study.

NOAA's study, however, notes the overall warming trend since 1880 has not been significantly changed. What's increased is the warming trend in recent decades.

"Our new analysis now shows the trend over the period 1950-1999, a time widely agreed as having significant anthropogenic global warming, is 0.113 [degrees Celsius per decade], which is virtually indistinguishable with the trend over the period 2000-2014″ of 0.116 degrees per decade, according to the study.

The U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's "statement of two years ago — that the global surface temperature has shown a much smaller increasing linear trend over the past 15 years than over the past 30 to 60 years' — is no longer valid," the study claims.

But that's not all NOAA did to increase the warming trend in recent decades. Climate expert Bob Tisdale and meteorologist Anthony Watts noted that to "manufacture warming during the hiatus, NOAA adjusted the pre-hiatus data downward."

"If we subtract the [old] data from the [new] data... we can see that that is exactly what NOAA did," Tisdale and Watts wrote on the science blog Watts Up With That.

"It's the same story all over again; the adjustments go towards cooling the past and thus increasing the slope of temperature rise," Tisdale and Watts added. "Their intent and methods are so obvious they're laughable."
