Very great. Especially if you get lime slices and cranberries suspended in there.

No one actually wants to eat cranberries; they must be liberally dosed with apple juice, sugar, bourbon, or Kraft Miniature Marshmallows® just to approach edibility. So why does <a href="http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2014\/11\/27\/dining\/cranberry-growers-search-for-ways-to-share-their-bounty.html\?module=Search&amp\;mabReward=relbias:s,{" target="_blank">anyone </a>grow them? Isn't there something else you can grow in those bogs?

All right, I actually made this one, except I used rum instead of bourbon, because rum. And with dark rum, it's pretty much dead on for a Black Friday.

Is it good? Well, I'm on my second. Speling is not yet impared, so i call it ok.

While I agree that climate change is happening, part of the issue is aso based on extreme value theory and the paucity of data. For example, using Katrina as n example, there is slightly more than 70 years of data available to develop the probabilities. Extrapolating out to the 500 year (0.2% annual exceedance) to 1000 year(0.1% annual exceedance) have quite large error bands. Additionally, the models are adjusted as new data and better hindcasts become available. At the tails of extreme values, counterintuitive things can happen.

Tl;Dr version: its happening, but the levels are a moving target

Erickson knows that climate and weather are two different things. But he also knows 'the base' is too stupid to know there is a difference.

Trump, taking his cues from the Nazi playbook, will now blame abortion providers for attacking themselves.

Meanwhile, did I really hear the mainstream media refer to the murderer as a "pro-life gunman"?
