Our most complete picture of life on Earth is coming into focus, as a stunning new NASA time-lapse video crams 20 years into just a few minutes.

NASA launched this satellite in 1997, allowing them to track life on earth through 20 years of satellite imaging.

"Bottom line, what are you seeing, the planet getting warmer over these 20 years?" Reid asked.

"Generally speaking, ocean levels are rising. Now they rise slowly, it's like watching ice cubes melt in a glass of soda," Werdell said.

Graphic: Navy admits to being involved in obscene skydrawings spotted in Okanogan Co

OKANOGAN COUNTY, Wash. – Officials with the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island said one of their aircraft was involved in the obscene skywritings spotted in Okanogan County.

Photos sent to KREM 2 by multiple sources show skydrawings of what some people are saying is male genitalia. Some sources have even tweeted pictures of what they saw.


Looks like a cowboy hat to me. :cowboy:
Is it like a Rohrsach test?

Spoiler:
The more juvenile response is to say...I've seen bigger. :eyebrows:

I think the Dome was like 'forget you. i ain't going down without a fight. I just started drinking a few years ago.'

They couldn't get the roof open at the Benz before? Now they have to clean 2 tons of concrete dust out of the tracks.

You're telling me some rando homeless dude took down the whole highway 85 last year but all you smart-dummies couldn't take down the dome without a hitch?

On a related note, we still saying that homeless rando did the highway 85 thing? Mmkay. :roll:

Or maybe leave the concrete dust, it'll help seal the roof from the rain pouring in.

Yes. They are still trying to convict him of something while the people who abandoned 88 tons of pvc conduit and the dot that never bothered to keep their property secure are bearing no responsibility.

Eggsactly. I guess they got off with the 'bwah, we did lock the fentz' defentz. Wonder what other ticking time bombs we're driving/walking over as we speak? Like a twisted, real-life game of Minesweeper? :o

Also is no one mentioning the no-bid process by which a certain company was awarded the repair work?

Say it ain't so, Ray.

Say it ain't so...

Ray Allen Says He Was Victim of Catfishing After Accusations of Stalking

Former NBA star Ray Allen filed an emergency motion in court Tuesday claiming he was the victim of catfishing a day after Bryant Coleman accused Allen of stalking him after the two met online, according to the Associated Press.

The motion, which was filed on Allen’s behalf, read in part, "Coleman pretended to be a number of attractive women interested in Ray Allen. Ray believed he was speaking with these women and communicated with them."

"He posted about Ray's wife, Ray's children, Ray's dog, Ray's homes, Ray's wife's restaurant, and numerous other personal items," the motion added. "Coleman not only posted about these things, he would actually post while physically located inside Ray's wife’s restaurant in Orlando. And he would make sure they knew it, tagging Ray and his wife on those posts."

He also claimed that he and Coleman struck a deal to keep the conversations he and Allen shared—which Allen believed had been with a number of women—private after Coleman had threatened to reveal their contents.

Ole Ray must have just been trying to rehearse for "He Got Game 2oo". Yeaaaaa, that's what you should tell the wife, "hey, hun. I was just doing preliminary research, haven't you ever heard of method acting?"

Yeah, I was like 'dayum'. You gotta be doing some seriously shady shat to get banned for life ... from baseball?

I would've told Hart, "No need to resign 'cause you're FIRED!"

Didn't they say those 13 international prospects are basically free agents now? Dang, homie.

The BarvesCurse is real. Shat on the city on the way out the door and have been a shat-show ever since.

Speaking of shating, they're currently shatting on Cobb County by making them foot the bill for increased security/police during Barves games which is an expense customarily paid by the team. A snafu on Cobb's end led to that being left out of the contract IIUC. Is that old news? I dunno, I tend to avoid Barves news, but that one came to my attention a little while ago.

Cobb County and the Braves deserve each other.

Not disagreeing about everything, but apparently the Battery has been doing great. Not putting all the blame on Atlanta, but if they could have developed the area around Turner field they could of had a much better fan experience.

I certainly put plenty of blame on Kasim because he deserves a lot. But the Braves organization is and has been corrupt even before this debacle. They did not negotiate in good faith with Atlanta. They had already decided to move and the wheels were in motion yet they continued to tell Atlanta there was time to get a deal together. Screw the Braves. The last 5 years has seen what was once an elite franchise reduced to a pile of crap. More heads should be rolling over there but in the end I don't care.

I know people like the battery but it's hard to imagine it's going to thrive. Attendance at the Braves wasn't that great for a 1st year ballpark. It's going to be a lot worse next year. Maybe there are enough people who live in the general area to keep the restaurants afloat in the winter but i really don't know.

I AM both exhausted with the superhero genre's domination of the movie industry and anxious to see what Marvel has in store with their next phase of films.

I think Marvel Studio's success has been both harmful and groundbreaking to Hollywood and the films they produce.

They have created some pretty fantastic films in the last decade. (Winter Soldier & Iron Man are classics.) But their success has led other studios to attempt and duplicate the formula...to little success. DC and Warner Brothers specifically.
