I am going to use the name for a main character in my story.he plays as a werewolf…Weather you like it or not, i’m using it-lol.i’m just kidding! I do want to know what you think about it though.Black hair, fiery gold eyes and he can enter peoples dreams, just to let you know about em.He also has a sister, but i can’t think of a good name that goes with Haven!!! I was thinking Sierra, cuz that’s my sisters name 
What do you think?
Is Haven a good name?

…blizzard as Obama was giving his speech and when he gets back to DC it will be to about 2 feet of snow.He has some sort of Global Warming meeting going in the next couple of days.I wonder where they will have that.Don’t they have a greenhouse somewhere near the White house? They can get a couple of those space heaters and plenty of grow lights and it will be just like summer.

can some one who likes math help me?
Also, if they are able to do this, would the process leave any MARKS on the door or make a lot of NOISE? (My deadbolt is mysteriously no longer working with my key! This happened all of a sudden tonight and I have an abusive ex-boyfriend who works in construction and installs doors! I was home all evening with the deadbolt locked from the inside, and I heard the dog barking earlier but he barks all the time anyways so I didn’t pay attention, and I did not see or hear anything myself.When my current boyfriend came home, we realized his key and mine no longer work with the deadbolt which is was brand new installed 2 weeks ago – we’re confused! Could it possibly be the 20 degree cold weather instead affecting it???? I’m very worried!) THANKS!
can a locksmith re-key a deadbolt without having the original key that is supposed to open the door?
My significant other is always complaining that she’s cold even when she is totally bundled up sitting next to the fireplace.I can go outside when it’s 25 degrees in shorts and a t-shirt and still sweat.Is something wrong with me? I’m about 6′4 257 pounds white male, and she is japanese 5′2″ and I won’t say her weight because you know how women are.Does how we deal with the weather have anything to do with race? Or is it something else entirely? Thanks
Why do some people tolerate freezing weather?

Weather is a set of all the phenomena occurring in a given atmosphere at a given time.Most weather phenomena occur in the troposphere, just below the stratosphere.Weather refers, generally, to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity, whereas climate is the term for the average atmospheric conditions over longer periods of time.When used without qualification, “weather” is understood to be the weather of Earth.
Weather occurs due to density (temperature and moisture) differences between one place and another.These differences can occur due to the sun angle at any particular spot, which varies by latitude from the tropics.The strong temperature contrast between polar and tropical air gives rise to the jet stream.Weather systems in the mid-latitudes, such as extratropical cyclones, are caused by instabilities of the jet stream flow.Because the Earth’s axis is tilted relative to its orbital plane, sunlight is incident at different angles at different times of the year.On Earth’s surface, temperatures usually range ±40 °C (100 °F to ?40 °F) annually.Over thousands of years, changes in Earth’s orbit affect the amount and distribution of solar energy received by the Earth and influence long-term climate
Surface temperature differences in turn cause pressure differences.Higher altitudes are cooler than lower altitudes due to differences in compressional heating.Weather forecasting is the application of science and technology to predict the state of the atmosphere for a future time and a given location.The atmosphere is a chaotic system, so small changes to one part of the system can grow to have large effects on the system as a whole.Human attempts to control the weather have occurred throughout human history, and there is evidence that human activity such as agriculture and industry has inadvertently modified weather patterns.
Studying how the weather works on other planets has been helpful in understanding how weather works on Earth.A famous landmark in the Solar System, Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, is an anticyclonic storm known to have existed for at least 300 years.However, weather is not limited to planetary bodies.A star’s corona is constantly being lost to space, creating what is essentially a very thin atmosphere throughout the Solar System.The movement of mass ejected from the Sun is known as the solar wind.
On Earth, common weather phenomena include wind, cloud, rain, snow, fog and dust storms.Less common events include natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons and ice storms.Almost all familiar weather phenomena occur in the troposphere (the lower part of the atmosphere).Weather does occur in the stratosphere and can affect weather lower down in the troposphere, but the exact mechanisms are poorly understood.
Weather occurs primarily due to density (temperature and moisture) differences between one place to another.These differences can occur due to the sun angle at any particular spot, which varies by latitude from the tropics.In other words, the farther from the tropics you lie, the lower the sun angle is, which causes those locations to be cooler due to the indirect sunlight.The strong temperature contrast between polar and tropical air gives rise to the jet stream.Weather systems in the mid-latitudes, such as extratropical cyclones, are caused by instabilities of the jet stream flow (see baroclinity).Weather systems in the tropics, such as monsoons or organized thunderstorm systems, are caused by different processes.
Because the Earth’s axis is tilted relative to its orbital plane, sunlight is incident at different angles at different times of the year.In June the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, so at any given Northern Hemisphere latitude sunlight falls more directly on that spot than in December (see Effect of sun angle on climate).This effect causes seasons.Over thousands to hundreds of thousands of years, changes in Earth’s orbital parameters affect the amount and distribution of solar energy received by the Earth and influence long-term climate.(see Milankovitch cycles).
Uneven solar heating (the formation of zones of temperature and moisture gradients, or frontogenesis) can also be due to the weather itself in the form of cloudiness and precipitation.Higher altitudes are cooler than lower altitudes, which is explained by the lapse rate.On local scales, temperature differences can occur because different surfaces (such as oceans, forests, ice sheets, or man-made objects) have differing physical characteristics such as reflectivity, roughness, or moisture content.
Surface temperature differences in turn cause pressure differences.A hot surface heats the air above it and the air expands, lowering the air pressure and its density.The resulting horizontal pressure gradient accelerates the air from high to low pressure, creating wind, and Earth’s rotation then causes curvature of the flow via the Coriolis effect.The simple systems thus formed can then display emergent behaviour to produce more complex systems and thus other weather phenomena.Large scale examples include the Hadley cell while a smaller scale example would be coastal breezes.
The atmosphere is a chaotic system, so small changes to one part of the system can grow to have large effects on the system as a whole.This makes it difficult to accurately predict weather more than a few days in advance, though weather forecasters are continually working to extend this limit through the scientific study of weather, meteorology.It is theoretically impossible to make useful day-to-day predictions more than about two weeks ahead, imposing an upper limit to potential for improved prediction skill.Chaos theory says that the slightest variation in the motion of the ground can grow with time.This idea is sometimes called the butterfly effect, from the idea that the motions caused by the flapping wings of a butterfly eventually could produce marked changes in the state of the atmosphere.Because of this sensitivity to small changes it will never be possible to make perfect forecasts, although there still is much potential for improvement.
The sun and oceans can also affect the weather of land.If the sun heats up ocean waters for a period of time, water can evaporate.Once evaporated into the air, the moisture can spread throughout nearby land, thus making it cooler.
Weather is one of the fundamental processes that shape the Earth.The process of weathering breaks down rocks and soils into smaller fragments and then into their constituent substances.These are then free to take part in chemical reactions that can affect the surface further (such as acid rain) or are reformed into other rocks and soils.In this way, weather plays a major role in erosion of the surface.
Weather has played a large and sometimes direct part in human history.Aside from climatic changes that have caused the gradual drift of populations (for example the desertification of the Middle East, and the formation of land bridges during glacial periods), extreme weather events have caused smaller scale population movements and intruded directly in historical events.One such event is the saving of Japan from invasion by the Mongol fleet of Kublai Khan by the Kamikaze winds in 1281.French claims to Florida came to an end in 1565 when a hurricane destroyed the French fleet, allowing Spain to conquer Fort Caroline.More recently, Hurricane Katrina redistributed over one million people from the central Gulf coast elsewhere across the United States, becoming the largest diaspora in the history of the United States.
Though weather affects people in drastic ways, it can also affect the human race in simpler ways.The human body is negatively affected by extremes in temperature, humidity, and wind.
Weather forecasting is the application of science and technology to predict the state of the atmosphere for a future time and a given location.Human beings have attempted to predict the weather informally for millennia, and formally since at least the nineteenth century.Weather forecasts are made by collecting quantitative data about the current state of the atmosphere and using scientific understanding of atmospheric processes to project how the atmosphere will evolve.
Once an all-human endeavor based mainly upon changes in barometric pressure, current weather conditions, and sky condition, forecast models are now used to determine future conditions.Human input is still required to pick the best possible forecast model to base the forecast upon, which involves pattern recognition skills, teleconnections, knowledge of model performance, and knowledge of model biases.The chaotic nature of the atmosphere, the massive computational power required to solve the equations that describe the atmosphere, error involved in measuring the initial conditions, and an incomplete understanding of atmospheric processes mean that forecasts become less accurate as the difference in current time and the time for which the forecast is being made (the range of the forecast) increases.The use of ensembles and model consensus helps to narrow the error and pick the most likely outcome.
There are a variety of end users to weather forecasts.Weather warnings are important forecasts because they are used to protect life and property.Forecasts based on temperature and precipitation are important to agriculture, and therefore to commodity traders within stock markets.Temperature forecasts are used by utility companies to estimate demand over coming days.On an everyday basis, people use weather forecasts to determine what to wear on a given day.Since outdoor activities are severely curtailed by heavy rain, snow and the wind chill, forecasts can be used to plan activities around these events, and to plan ahead and survive them.
The aspiration to control the weather is evident throughout human history: from ancient rituals intended to bring rain for crops to the U.S.Military Operation Popeye, an attempt to disrupt supply lines by lengthening the North Vietnamese monsoon.The most successful attempts at influencing weather involve cloud seeding; they include the fog – and low stratus dispersion techniques employed by major airports, techniques used to increase winter precipitation over mountains, and techniques to suppress hail.A recent example of weather control was China’s preparation for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games.China shot 1,104 rain dispersal rockets from 21 sites in the city of Beijing in an effort to keep rain away from the opening ceremony of the games on Aug 8, 2008.Guo Hu, head of the Beijing Municipal Meteorological Bureau (BMB), confirmed the success of the operation with 100 millimeters falling in Baoding City of Hebei Province, to the southwest and Beijing’s Fangshan District recording a rainfall of 25 millimeters.
Whereas there is inconclusive evidence for these techniques’ efficacy, there is extensive evidence that human activity such as agriculture and industry results in inadvertent weather modification:
The effects of inadvertent weather modification may pose serious threats to many aspects of civilization, including ecosystems, natural resources, food and fiber production, economic development, and human health..
On Earth, temperatures usually range ±40 °C (100 °F to ?40 °F) annually.The range of climates and latitudes across the planet can offer extremes of temperature outside this range.The coldest air temperature ever recorded on Earth is ?89.2 °C (?129 °F), at Vostok Station, Antarctica on 21 July 1983.The hottest air temperature ever recorded was 57.7 °C (135.9 °F) at Al ‘Aziziyah, Libya, on September 13 1922.The highest recorded average annual temperature was 34.4 °C (93.9 °F) at Dallol, Ethiopia.The coldest recorded average annual temperature was ?55.1 °C (?67 °F) at Vostok Station, Antarctica.The coldest average annual temperature in a permanently inhabited location is at Eureka, Nunavut, in Canada, where the annual average temperature is ?19.7 °C (?3 °F).
Studying how the weather works on other planets has been seen as helpful in understanding how it works on Earth.Weather on other planets follows many of the same physical principles as weather on Earth, but occurs on different scales and in atmospheres having different chemical composition.The Cassini–Huygens mission to Titan discovered clouds formed from methane or ethane which deposit rain composed of liquid methane and other organic compounds.Earth’s atmosphere includes six latitudinal circulation zones, three in each hemisphere.In contrast, Jupiter’s banded appearance shows many such zones, Titan has a single jet stream near the 50th parallel north latitude, and Venus has a single jet near the equator.
One of the most famous landmarks in the Solar System, Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, is an anticyclonic storm known to have existed for at least 300 years.On other gas giants, the lack of a surface allows the wind to reach enormous speeds: gusts of up to 600 metres per second (about 2,100 kilometres per hour (1,300 mph)) have been measured on the planet Neptune.This has created a puzzle for planetary scientists.The weather is ultimately created by solar energy and the amount of energy received by Neptune is only about 1/900th of that received by Earth, yet the intensity of weather phenomena on Neptune is far greater than on Earth.The strongest planetary winds discovered so far are on the extrasolar planet HD 189733 b, which is thought to have easterly winds moving at more than 9,600 kilometres per hour (6,000 mph).
Weather is not limited to planetary bodies.A star’s corona is constantly being lost to space, creating what is essentially a very thin atmosphere throughout the Solar System.The movement of mass ejected from the Sun is known as the solar wind.Inconsistencies in this wind and larger events on the surface of the star, such as coronal mass ejections, form a system that has features analogous to conventional weather systems (such as pressure and wind) and is generally known as space weather.Coronal mass ejections have been tracked as far out in the solar system as Saturn.The activity of this system can affect planetary atmospheres and occasionally surfaces.The interaction of the solar wind with the terrestrial atmosphere can produce spectacular aurorae, and can play havoc with electrically sensitive systems such as electricity grids and radio signals.
