Local Forecast / Re: Song ID Thread

Ok so I'm trying to figure what the name of the song is attached below because according to the clip below Daniel uploaded the attached song is not "One Life" by Jeanne Ricks even though it's labeled as such. In other words, both are labeled as the same song, yet sound nothing alike.

No, but I would like to learn how to play the sax or guitar someday.

Do you like having short hair?

General Discussion / Re: Playstation/Wii -Video Games

« on: August 18, 2012, 08:51:32 PM »

I don't really play video games much anymore (except with friends and family and a lot of those games are family/multiplayer oriented) on an old Wii that's just sittin' around collecting a mountain of dust.

It's kinda funny, when I was younger I was begging for a PS2  and I got a Gamecube because it was cheaper. I begged for a XBOX 360 and I got a Wii again because it was cheaper. Now it's 2012 and ironically both the 360 and PS3 are cheaper than the Wii. D'oh!

I still have my old Gameboy SP where I play some of my old games once in a blue moon when I want to take a trip down good memories.

Hurricane Central / Re: Hurricane Central 2012

On a side note: It can't be me, but I think this invest might be one to reckoned with despite being a long ways off, The US doesn't seem to have the best luck when it comes to "I" named storms. (ex: Isodore, Isabel, Ivan, Ike, Irene, etc.) Igor (2010) is an exception being it was a major hurricane and remained a fish.

And of course I would run across this at another forum.

No.

Don't you hate it when you tell someone something, they pretend to listen to you and not even 2 minutes later they're asking what you said?

Hurricane Central / Re:Hurricane Gordon

Hurricane Gordon is a moderate Category One hurricane right now as of 2pm ET today. It should remain a hurricane until at least overnight Sunday/Monday before weakening to a TS then transitioning to a post tropical storm by Tuesday Morning.

EDIT: This thread should be updated to "Hurricane Gordon"

Invest 94L I suspect will be "Isaac" by this time tomorrow or Monday. It's really getting it's act together. 
I believe RECON is planning to investigate the invest tomorrow.

WARNING: THIS IS STILL IN THE FANTASY RANGE 12z GFS today shows this as being a Carolinas hit and basically running parallel right up the East Coast as a strong hurricane similar to Irene (2011) track wise. Last night the Canadian was on team GFS, we'll see if it's the case today and whether or not the Euro joins. There was MAJOR disagreements between the GFS/Euro last night, the 00z Euro decided to keep this invest as an weak storm/open wave traveling through the Caribbean and into the Central Gulf.

On a side note: It can't be me, but I think this invest might be one to reckoned with despite being a long ways off, The US doesn't seem to have the best luck when it comes to "I" named storms. (ex: Isodore, Isabel, Ivan, Ike, Irene, etc.) Igor (2010) is an exception being it was a major hurricane and remained a fish.

Hurricane Central / Re: Tropical Storm Helene

« on: August 17, 2012, 06:00:17 PM »

Helene should be fun to track. (I say that seriously and sarcastically if it behaves anything like Ernesto did)

EDIT: I see NHC is going with the idea of a landfall in MX, but if it can manage to stay slow at strengthening for the next few days, that might not happen. It'll eventually feel the influence of a digging trough and get pulled N or even NE into the West/Central Gulf.

Hurricane Central / Re: Hurricane Central 2012

« on: August 16, 2012, 07:41:44 PM »

The tropics are about to fire up once again starting with a CV storm about to exit the African Coast in a couple of days. This system specifically looks to be a fish, but something I found interesting from the 12z GFS today is it starts to try to build a ridge back to the west in the Central Atlantic forcing potential "Helene" more WNW towards the East Coast of the US, but then it breaks down and "Helene" recurves avoiding a East Coast Hit.

We still have about 8-10 days to watch and see how this evoles before worrying about this. It's gonna depend largely on how the ridges/troughs work in tandem with eachother once we reach this timeframe. So for now this is all just gossip.

Trackwise, the 12z ECMWF is on par with the 12z GFS with system, but the ECMWF goes more ballistic on strength and blows this up into a 968mb hurricane by day 10 (which obviously takes some credence away from it being that it's so far out)

EDIT: Keep an eye on something homebrewed in the Gulf as well by former Tropical Depression 7, NHC has this area at 40% chance of regeneration. This COULD become "Helene" or "Issac".
