Neither - they are just different phases of the same oscillation. Depending on where you are in the world, one may have a stronger influence on your weather than the other. In any case, I would not characterize any of its affects as "violent"; ENSO tends to get overblown in the media.
El Nino and La Nina have many similarities. One of these are that they are caused by changing weather patterns, another is that they are associated with temperature change in the water.
If you are talking about saying, "one boy," you'd say uno nino. For "one girl," it would be una Nina. The second 'n' in nino and Nina has a tilde over it. For actual numbers, it doesn't change.
According to the Scripps Institute, La Nina conditions (ie eastern pacific cooling) are likely to persist until the middle of this year. El Nino is forecast to become the prevailing phase in the end of the year and the beginning of next (2010) See http://meteora.ucsd.edu/~pierce/elnino/pictures.html The Australian Bureau of Meteorology seems to concur. They publish several different researchers computer modelling, and La Nina will remain for another few months, it may then be neutral or starting an El Nino later in the year, See http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/ahead/ENSO-summary.shtml So to answer your question, 2009 is not an El Nino year as such, but it may see the start of one, leading on to 2010, which presumably will be an El Nino year.

Nina is the Babylonian goddess of the watery deep and daughter of Ea. It is mainly a female name, but if you hear a guy named "Nina" it is most likely he is gay. Nina is mainly a Spanish name, but also from Hebrew languages. In Spanish, Nina means "little girl" or "great granddaughter". In Hebrew it means "grace" or "peace". Naina, a similar name to Nina, means "pretty eyes" in Indian or Hindi languages. It is a very popular name in around the world, but mostly in Spanish countries. It may also be a nickname or a shortened name for longer names such as Ninaboy. The pronounciation is NEE-NAH or NYNE-AH. Nina is a very popular female first name. Nina is also the name of one of the ships Christopher Columbus (Cristoforo Colombo) used on his journey to North America. Nina was one of the big ships. NINA was also a saying in the mid nineteenth century meaning "No Irish Need Apply" this was because of the potato famine in Ireland, many Irish moved to the united states. they were unwelcomed by the American. so the Americans gave them bad jobs.. if say they wanted to work in a factory there would be a sign in the window saying "NINA" pretty much saying Irish are not welcome to work here.
one of the reasons why Plinian eruptions are more violent is that they release more viscous magma than Hawaiian hawaiian eruption.
El Nino is quasi-periodic and its duration will vary. Typically it will remain in one mode (El Nino is the warm phase, La Nina the cool) for at least 9 months persisting to up to two years.
The amulet Nina has is the Eye of Horus.Sarah gave it to her to protect her from evil.Sarah knew that Nina was the chosen one.
Zimbio, iTumes, Modern Talking Post, and Wikipedia are all web pages that offer additional information about Nino de Angelo. They also have the options of listening to the music or portions of it.
Sarah knows Nina because in order to lift the curse Sarah had to know the chosen one and the chosen one is Nina.
