Friday, March 16, 2012 Is it winter's last gasp More storms expected

Is it winter's last gasp More storms expected
Expect to see more rain and cool weather for the foreseeable future.

South Sounders might even see a few more snowflakes overnight.

The South Sound, which was battered by rain and wind gusts Monday, will get a slight reprieve from showers today before another storm front moves over the region Wednesday.

The rainy conditions will continue through the end of the week.

“It’s going to be pretty cool for this time of year,” said Gary Schneider, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Seattle.

Snow could mix with the rain during the overnight hours, but the flakes are not expected to stick around or cause problems, he said.

“(There are) definitely no big snow events on the horizon,” Schneider said. “It will be these hit-and-miss nuisance-type things.”

On Monday, strong wind gusts knocked out power to thousands in Pierce, Thurston and Whatcom counties. Gusts topped out at 44 miles per hour at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Wind speed mph ranged from the 30s to low 40s elsewhere in the South Sound.

Puget Sound Energy and Peninsula Light Co. crews spent the morning restoring electricity to customers in Bonney Lake, Lakewood, Olympia, Lakebay, Rainier, Tenino and Yelm, among other areas.

A handful of schools in Thurston County had no electricity or partial electricity for part of the day.

Yelm Community Schools dismissed students early because of outages.

Thursday, March 15, 2012 Now about provocations

At the last rally of the opposition had a lot of "left" parties. Almost a quarter of the total audience. Dissenting immediately, and apparently rightly dubbed the provocateurs of young people who came to the rally "For Fair Elections," with slogans like "Stop killing the environment" or "Save the rare chimpanzee."


Now about provocations

About the "supporters" Yulia Tymoshenko, who have eaten probably already own citrus screened at the last meeting, a little later. At this time, instead of mandarin oranges, they showed "garni lad."

So far - a little help from Wikipedia :

Provocation - an action or series of actions aimed at causing the reciprocal action / inaction provoked tend to artificially create such severe circumstances or consequences for him. Provocations play an important role in marketing, military, art, politics, relationships between individuals, groups, entities, and between states. The policy of provocation is often focused on the reaction of public opinion, negative with respect to the enemy.

So, according to one of the organizers of the rally Artem Aleksandrov, before the action was approached by the police and reported that the rally want to attend some citizens with placards in support of same-sex marriages.

- Then I asked to let only those who came with posters for the stated subject, - he said.

Police gallantly complied with the request. Thus, defenders of the interview before the TV cameras rarely chimpanzees and Yulia Tymoshenko was given apart from the alleged scene.

All the same Artem Aleksandrov said that his friends learned of some provocateurs. They actually protect rare ... chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans in some pro-government youth organizations.

Actually, I think it will be a new oath. You will meet some of the bad type of party in power, and say to him: "You ... A rare chimps")

Here, I wanted to write that part in the political provocations cynically corrupts our wonderful young people, but then I remembered that defile these young people seem any longer.

The fact that this was a provocation confirms at least the fact that the defenders of the chimpanzee, fans Tambov goods and Yulia Tymoshenko has never come to the rallies of "United Russia". And there's the audience and the weight they would have Pobol)))

Therefore, their goal in this case was simple - to divert attention from talking about violations of the election and discredit dissenters. This is where the posters will help to same-sex marriage, for Yulia Tymoshenko and chimpanzees, helpfully shown on TV.

This, they say, the political struggle. Well, or working out financing. Like, have opposed the "orange threat". And the fact that this is not a threat at all, but simply a different view - normal in a normal society, somehow forgotten.

But if this mess you call a political struggle, then such a struggle must be drained into the bowl as a smelly feces. Society is tired of lying, fraud and political technology tricks. Also, if you're in a political struggle does not shun manipulation and provocation, it is unlikely that will be honest in everyday life. Tell the truth - an honest man is honest in everything. And vice-versa. Perhaps that is why many young people prefer to hide her face behind posters when they tried to take pictures. Conscience tells us that they are doing something not quite respectable. But those who are accustomed to indecent behavior, those people did not hide)

And now about the pretty girls - supporters of Yulia Tymoshenko. Of course, leaving in its defense in Tambov - the most effective method. After all, their leader - well-known master of political provocation Grinchuk Alex magically always manages to get a TV microphone. But on the actions of "United Russia", he and his female platoon does not appear. And then strengthened his army is also some guy in the form of a Cossack.

Somehow the police did their job - TV interview after the children were asked to go with the posters in police buses. Where, as later explained to the police department, with them held a "preventive talks", and then released to the world. The girls came out, took out a cigarette, lit it and, satisfied, went to the "Burger Club"

In the mountains of snow
Australia a wonderful country, with an extremely interesting nature and wildlife. The climate, the landscape - all different. And if you want new sensations, and you have not seen snow, do not breathe the fresh frosty air, then welcome to the famous ski resort of Perisher.

In the mountains is a real winter: a snowstorm, huge snowdrifts and a temperature of -3. Over the whole of Australia at this time of year, tourists come to enjoy the winter scenery, skiing, snowboarding or just feel the crunching of snow underfoot. Travel time from Sydney to the resort 5:00. When you go by car, and the window flashed evergreen trees and shrubs, and in the vast pastures of grazing sheep and cows, then take the doubt, and whether the promised snow? But suddenly, for the next turn on the windshield appear first snowflakes, and eyes open panorama of snow-white, and from what you see is breathtaking, and in memory of famous lines pop up, "Frost and the sun - a wonderful day ..." All around laughter, screams, adults with children riding on the tubing, molded snowmen. I grew up in the Far East and I was difficult to surprise snow, but, having collapsed to his knees in the Australian snow, I felt familiar with the childhood delight. Thermophilic Australians struck by his mastery of skiing, snowboarding abilities. most young lovers have been provided by experienced instructors who were engaged all day training them. I can not boast ability to stand on skis, so I went all day and just enjoying the winter fairy tale pictures of evergreen, eucalyptus stripes on the trunks, which, together with moss lying snow, breathed air, drank hot chocolate in the cafe and thought of the long winter evenings in Russia. Come to this snow paradise and you will not regret it. Before closing the season remained a matter of days. L.Vishnevskaya, Sydney

Austria, filled up with snow

Austria, filled up with snow

In Austria, due to the unusually early snowfall , the ski season can be opened now, much earlier than the official start of the season

early as this weekend in Austria, the temperature is well within the limits of the norm for the month of September. But winter in the Austrian lands came more than once. The temperature in the Tyrol, Salzburg and all over Carinthia fell sharply by 10-15 degrees, and the fallen snow surprised the both tourists and locals.

Least of all prepared for this situation have been traveling the service, so that all motorists had to quickly remember the extreme winter driving skills. Several highways in the mountainous areas of the country and at all were closed because of snow collapsed.

In the federal states in the areas of Tyrol, Salzburg and Carinthia in the streets is derived snow-clearing equipment. Yes, and local residents to expedite the process of cleaning the snow, we had to pick up a shovel.

On many roads of the country was seen icing, resulting in not without accidents. For example, roads and Hahntennjoch Timmelsjoch were blocked for this reason in the Tyrol . And less than all the luck in the street Grossglockner, which was closed even to pedestrians.

Recently, abnormal weather events are becoming the norm. During the summer there were reports that Italy, Hungary and Greece suffer from an almost African heat on Bolivia heavy snowfall collapsed, and the same to Austria, as well as Slovenia - was covered with hail the size of an egg. So it is possible that such rates, the traditional season for ski resorts will begin immediately at the end of summer.
