Skip to comments.Space weather expert has ominous forecast
Posted on 05/05/2012 7:09:10 PM PDT by null and void
A massive explosion on the sun's surface has triggered the largest solar radiation storm since 2005, hurling charged particles at Earth. (NASA / May 4, 2012)
A stream of highly charged particles from the sun is headed straight toward Earth, threatening to plunge cities around the world into darkness and bring the global economy screeching to a halt.
This isn't the premise of the latest doomsday thriller. Massive solar storms have happened before and another one is likely to occur soon, according to Mike Hapgood, a space weather scientist at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford, England.
Much of the planet's electronic equipment, as well as orbiting satellites, have been built to withstand these periodic geomagnetic storms. But the world is still not prepared for a truly damaging solar storm, Hapgood argues in a recent commentary published in the journal Nature.
Hapgood talked with The Times about the potential effects of such a storm and how the world should prepare for it.
We had a recent flare-up of publicity in March thanks to a solar storm that didn't really amount to much. Is this sort of coverage a good thing or a bad thing?
It makes such a good scare story, and it's entertaining. It was a mildly interesting event, certainly, but not at all big-league stuff. It makes people think, "Oh it's nothing really," so experts like myself are in danger of being in the crying-wolf situation. That's something that is a concern to me, personally.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimes.com ...
Good Q&A session at the link.
This time it's different.
I'm selling Sun Block Cream with a "special solar flare-up repellent." Just $19.95. But wait, if you act right now...
Repent !!!
They laughed at the boy who cried wolf, too!
This is one of those things that will happen at some point. Personally I think the best thing we could do build a lot more power production facilities to help get things up and running as quickly as possible afterward.
The Earth and Sun have been around a long-long time, with no end in sight.
We can all thank God for giving us a planet that's been around for about 4.6 billion years ... with no end in sight.
The current solar cycle is quite weak compared to those over the last 200 years or so. That's not to say an individual spot couldn't be a problem, but it is less likely.
The coming Solar Cycle 25 should be weaker still. The major implication of these weak solar cycles is actually lower global temperatures.
With the possible exception of Enoch, no one gets out alive...
ARe wE DEAd yeT?????
/Can''t tell becAUSe of WHat I'm sMOKin.....
LET me know.
Not yet, patience my FRiend, patience...
Time to gather all of your wires and head to the Faraday Cave.
"Repent !!!"
Well, Yes, but not because of this.
A stream of highly charged particles from the sun is headed straight toward Earth, threatening to plunge cities around the world into darkness and bring the global economy screeching to a halt.
As if the global economy's been moving forward much lately.
You forgot Elijah.
Travelling at the speed of light it takes 8 minutes for solar "events" to reach the earth.
Done already.
OMG = Obama Must Go
Prep anyway. It might not be this. It might be something else. It might never come. It might come tonight.
Hmmmm...Guess we're toast.
Bad enough that this threat is growing exponentially due to a massive explosion of communist ideology in Washington, but now the same threat from a massive explosion on the good old sun.
Light is one thing. Particles another. I've read, IIRC, of their speeds of 1,000,000 mph or so. That would be about 93 hours.
Apparently the larger solar storm events tend to happen when the sun is more quiet...
There was a solar storm back in the mid to late 1800's that fused telegraph devices...a similar storm today would do far more damage and it's only a matter of time.
Repentence is essential for surviving a "Son" storm :-)
You're just one big frickin' ray of sunshine aren't you?
Yes, eventually we are. It may be a sunstorm, a supervolcano, an asteroid or comet strike, a ferocious pandemic, climate change (yes, catastrophic change happens, but not for the reasons the Gorebots say) or something presently unpredictable. Eventually the human race will either be destroyed or reduced to a small remnant. Such catastrophes have happened in the past and will happen again given the passage of time.
The sun is too dangerous. We should reduce our use of the sun.
LOL, with just a little ultraviolet thrown in; oh, and a few million tons of streaming matter traveling at 1,000,000 MPH!
I'm holding out for old age, I am...
So I did.
Be careful what you wish for...I'm damned close to that ending already. Depends on which comes first LOL.
Better now than later.....the WX is fair to midland right now.....but later....?????????????????
The Solar Wind could be the "Finger of God" that would touch Obama to really fry him to a crisp!
Let's see now. "Massive Solar Flare to Create Chaos" story runs, what, about every 1-2 years? For, what, at least the last 3 or 4 decades? And guess what? NOT ONCE, NOT ONCE, I tell you has a "massive" solar flare EVER created chaos! NOT ONE FUCHING TIME!
the joke is on the sun. it will cause the caps to melt raising sea levels but eventually putting out the sun. ha ha to you, sun!
Thanks null and void.
'Massive solar flare destroys civilization' story runs every few months on FR...
There is a hope however. There was a period of years on FR where a 'Lincoln was gay' story appeared several times a year but thankfully those seem to have fallen out of fashion.
Shouldn't that be Bill Clinton? Though, I guess he'd be pulling her down by her lip.
It had to hurt when he let go!
We need to send a sacrifice to the sun gods, send Barry on a one way trip to the sun.
"We're doomed!"
"Im selling Sun Block Cream with a special solar flare-up repellent. Just $19.95. But wait, if you act right now..."
Is there any chance I could get a second one for just the S&H charges (only 18.95)?

- About the brand
A luxurious hair removal system with new pain reduction technology that removes unwanted hair gently and effectively, gives you smooth, silky skin for up to 6 weeks. Rechargeable unit.
Model#: AP-10LR / SKU: R8516
For maximum results after epilating, follow with the Emjoi After Epilation Cream.
The tops in hair removal, Emjoi epilators, shavers and accessories leave your skin flawlessly smooth. Emjoi makes hair removal easy with a wide variety of products for everyone from the hair removal novice to smooth skin experts. You'll dare to be bare.
A Very Good Product !!!I think this is an excellent product. I previously tried an Emjoi Optima and that worked almost as well, but was corded only. This Gold Caress unit works better than the Optima, and has the convenience of cordless operation; plus the styling of the Gold Caress makes it much easier to handle. (It also works corded.) I would highly recommend this product, but caution anyone not familiar to this type of hair removal, that it is NOT painless, even though this unit is the best Ive tried, and DOES minimize the discomfort. Using this product is essentially the same as manual tweezing, but hundreds of times faster. My advice would be if you find it too painful to remove individual hairs with a tweezer, then you should avoid this type of epilator. In fact, removal of coarse hairs for the very first time would be better done by manual tweezing before graduating to this produt. My opinion is that tweezing is,by far, the best way to remove hair, and the Gold Caress is the best way to tweeze.Nov 22, 2004Sami / Pennsylvania

Sure It StingsThis product does exactly what it is designed to do. I love mine and will order a second in case you ever stop selling them! I "was" a hairy man and I now use it all over my body. My wife constantly borrows it to use on her legs.Yes! The first time you use it, IT HURTS! Thats a lot of hair to pull out all at once. Use Ambolsol or some other babys teeth cutting numbing solution. Goodness! If you cant stand some discomfort why do you worry about how you look anyway. The more often you use it the less it hurts, really! I used to have to shave with a blade twice a day. Now I use my Emjoi about once a week. My skin is as smooth as a babys butt. PROBLEMS: Keep clean, charge battery regulary, dont put the top on backward. Those are my faults and not the machines. 5 stars!Nov 16, 2004Marvin Marshall / Omaha, Nebraska

The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me...Thank you Emjoi! Over the last 3 and 1/2 years you have saved me £1344 and given me the freedom to enjoy complete hairlessness all the time. Dont have to turn down trips to the beach because its the week before my monthly waxing visit and Im covered in prickles! Emjoi hurts initially and will always hurt a little on sensitive skin (but nothing like waxing) - but on main hair removal areas, lower leg and arms I feel little or no pain and it has transformed my confidence in my body. Only someone with reasonably heavy body hair could really appreciate just how wonderful it is to have absolute control of your depilation. I now have just a third of the hair growth on my lower leg and other areas are getting noticeably thinner. After 6 months of using my first emjoi gold I thought I would be super efficient and buy a second one so that if the first one broke I would never be without one - guess what? Its still in the package safely stored away!! 3 1/2 years down the road the first one is still going strong. Its a wonderful product, I dont think anyone could do better if theyre looking for complete removal from the root and an end to shaving rashes. Thank you so very much!Sep 9, 2004Kit / England

Won't Last Long!Ok, first of all...epilating hurts! So, expect that and dismiss the reviews that complain of pain. My problem with this machine is that it broke just after the warranty ran out (a little over a year from purchase date). First, it would only work cordless and on a full charge. Yup, it wouldnt work when plugged in. Then, that cordless power time dropped to minutes (not a whole lot of time to get much done!). Now, the motor is locked up and nothing happens works.Sep 8, 2004C / Cali

Emjoi Gently Gold Rechargeable Hair Removal SystemThe first time using it was rather painful, however I was told that this was normal and that after the first it gets easier which it certainly did. The regrowth is much lighter and softer. I no longer get razor burn. It does take longer to shave as you do have to go over areas a few times, however you dont need to shave as often.Aug 7, 2004Donna / Massachusetts

Leave It AloneAfter trying this product for 5 seconds I came to the conclusion that its almost impossible to use without feeling like you have just been tortured by your worst enemy.. The pain and discomfort is just to overwhelming for anybody to get any enjoyment out of this product.. Anyone who says this product is great must have reptillian skin of some kind.. Because this just does not suit a human.. It takes off the hair but to much pain is involved doing it, I suggest knowbody buys this product or any other product like this.Jul 29, 2004Chris

Ouch!This product was not nearly as gentle as the description led me to believe it would be. Even the lower setting is painful for sensitive areas like face and underarms. As a first time user, I found the unit akward and inefficient. I had to cover the same area several times to completely remove all the hair. The first day, I spent almost an hour at it, only working on the lower portion of one leg, and even then I couldnt get all of the hair removed before the battery petered out. I also found it very difficult to position the unit properly for reaching all the curves of my underarms. It did work well for the hairs on my upper lip and chin, leaving them extremely smooth. But again, it was rather tedious and painful and the hairs are already growing back! Maybe this is typical, but Id rather just go get waxed. At least I know that will be fast!Apr 24, 2004Melissa

Wow"Wow!! This is one terrific product! (Gently Gold) whoever designed this one took the time to get it right. Its fast. It gets all the hair (long & short), and it never gets caught in the hair or pinches or tears the skin. When the package arrived, I opened it immediately and decided to give it a quick test. Fifteen minutes later I had removed all my bothersome facial hair, leg hair, bikini hair, and underarm hair. This was beyond what I expected and exactly what I hoped for. Keep up the good work!!!"Feb 27, 2004Jamie Harmon

Most of us have a limited amount of time for preparation of a meal. We get home from work, everybody's hungry and wants to eat as soon as possible. This is one of the reasons why meals that can be prepared in 30 minutes or less have become such a rage on television and in the cookbook aisle of your bookstore.
One of the standards that have always been a quick meal, even before 30 minute meals were the rage, is the Asian stir fry. These meals can have dozens and dozens of flavor profiles and are exceedingly nutritious with a large amount of vegetables that often go with the best stir fried foods.
Just because the term stir fry conjures up fried foods, high fat is not the case. Stir fried meals are really sautéing your foods quickly in a high heat, with a minimal amount oil. When thinking about the healthiest eating habits, low fat is always one of the considerations. Not just low-fat, but low in saturated fats, low in trans fats and low in hydrogenated oils.
Our body knows when it is being fed a highly nutritious meal. The amount of enjoyment we get can truly be supreme while the physical satisfaction is high. Stir fry dinners fit the bill of simply delicious and highly nutritious. From time to time you can expect to find different stir fried meals here in my column.
This is a tasty stir fried recipe that's sure to please everyone in your family. You can serve it with a side of white rice.
Stir Fried Pork Tenderloin with Bok Choy and Hot and Sour SauceServes 4
Hot and Sour Sauce
6 Tbl Rice vinegar1/4 cup chicken broth1/4 cup dry sherry2 Tbl soy sauce1 Tbl Asian chili sauce2 tsp sugar2 tsp cornstarch1/4 tsp toasted sesame oil
Whisk all ingredients in a small bowl, set aside.
Stir Fry
1 lb pork tenderloin, cut into bite size pieces2 tsp soy sauce2 tsp dry sherry2 cloves garlic, crushed1 Tbl fresh grated ginger3 green onions chopped, white part only5 tsp canola oil1 red bell pepper, stemmed and seeded, cut into strips1 head bok choy cabbage, cut into 1/2 inch strips
In a small bowl toss the pork, soy sauce and sherry, set aside. In another bowl combine garlic, ginger, green onion whites and 2 teaspoons of the oil, set aside.
Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in your wok, or 12 inch skillet, over high heat until just smoking. Add the pork, stirring constantly, and cook for two minutes. Remove pork and set aside.
Add one more teaspoon of oil to the pan and return to a high heat. Add the bell pepper, stirring, and cook for one minute, add half of the cabbage and cook until crisp tender, one more minute. Remove peppers and cabbage to a clean plate, add the remaining teaspoon of oil and remaining cabbage and cook until crisp tender one more minute. Return the first batch of cabbage and peppers to the pan.
Add garlic and stir. Add the hot and sour sauce and the pork, bring your dish up to a simmer for 1 minute, and it's done.
This will be a wonderful meal for your whole family. To make things easier for you prepare all of your ingredients in the morning before you go to work. Therefore, when you're ready to cook this meal all your ingredients are ready for you. Cooking time for this dish should be no more than 12 to 14 minutes.

Hedda Dishes Drag Race :: DILFs
Hello gentle Americans. My worst fear came true last night. On episode 10 of "RuPaul's Drag Race," they brought back from the depths of drag hell Puerto Rico's Chupacabra: Kenya Michaels. The moment the door opened to reveal the Latin munchkin I made an audible groan.
Wilam, who I was praying would return in a puff of meth smoke, was nowhere to be found. Obviously once you break the rules on "Drag Race" there is no coming back. If Wilam did return, she would not have been given the boot so quickly. Nothing must be more humiliating then being kicked off "Drag Race" not once, but twice. Well, maybe having to help Jiggly Caliente tuck is more humiliating. By the episode's end, Kenya was told to sashay away.
The main challenge had the girls take burly 'straight' men and put them in drag; Not just putting them in drag, but making them look related to their assigned queen. To top it off, in their final runway walk, each pairing had to give the appearance of being pregnant. Pregnant with what I am not sure?
In the case of Sharon Needles it had to be the Devil's spawn. In Latrice Royal's case it was probably a ham, cheesy fries, Big Mac and a large coke. I would hate to be around when her water broke. The tsunami-like wave coming from her mangina would wash away the competition, leaving Latrice the last queen standing.
The esteemed panel included Jesse Tyler Ferguson ("Modern Family") and Jennifer Love Hewitt ("Ghost Whisperer"). The producers must have been doing some serious wheeling and dealing, because at least we knew who the judges were this week. Jesse was adorable and spot-on with his commentary and Jennifer Love Hewitt was sickeningly sincere. Looking woefully at the cast, as if she was thinking, "These poor suffering souls. And, 'Oh, how do my tits look?'"
Yet again, "Drag Race" tried to pull on our heartstrings, having some of the queens tearfully tells the viewing audience how difficult it was growing up gay. Phi-Phi said her father does not accept her because of her lifestyle. Girl he does not accept you because you are an annoying bitch, not because you're a drag ho. Frankly, in your case, the wise words of my mother Shredda Lynn Lettuce came to mind. Mama would often drunkenly look down at me, with a cigarette dangling from her thin red lips, and she would mumble, "I wish abortion after birth was legal." I feel the same way when I look at Phi-Phi.
Michelle Visage predictably came for Chad Michaels, saying that Chad does not take enough risks. Chad and her adorable partner had such charm and whimsy on the runway, Chad made pregnancy look glamorous and effortless. The next time Michelle puts her two cents in, Chad should remove her pump and beat the raven-headed bimbo about the head and face. If that does not say taking a risk Michelle, than I don't know what does.
Kenya and her straight counterparts' interpretation of the challenge was a stillbirth the moment they hit the runway, 'though I don't blame Kenya fully. Her straight man had a glum look on her face, as if her baby was conceived during a rape.
Phi-Phi won the challenge and rightfully so. Both of the 'gals' looked related and they had this playful bounce in their step that captivated the judges. But mark my words, when Phi-Phi gives birth to her child, it is going to have webbed feet and autism from all the booze and bitterness she consumed during her pregnancy.
Latrice found herself in the bottom two and Kenya and Latrice had to lip-synch for their lives to Aretha Franklyn's, "Natural Woman." Latrice stood center stage, with her hands placed Madonna-like over her baby bump, and confidently interpreted the material with a well-placed lip. Kenya kicked off her heels and hopped around the stage in a desperate attempt at stealing focus from Latrice. She did a death drop (which I am sure was not good for the baby), tore off her wig and circled Latrice like she was caught in her orbit. Her performance reeked from the stench of a miscarriage and gratefully she was sent home.
By episode's end my stomach began to hurt and I had a strange craving for ice cream, pickles and cock. Was I experiencing a hysterical pregnancy? Or did that encounter behind that dumpster with that young stud produce a love child? Passing out on the couch, as if I was in labor for 24 hours, I slept like a baby. When I awoke I raced to the bathroom and took a delicious BM. That explained the pressure in my stomach. As the turd went down the drain sadness washed over me; however implausible it was, I was so looking forward to becoming a mother.
Stay fresh,
Hedda Lettuce

Diane Arbus
Arbus, Diane (ärˈbəs) [key], 1923–71, American photographer, b. New York City. For nearly 20 years Arbus operated a successful fashion photography studio with her husband. She studied with Lisette Model and began, in the late 1950s, to make the intimate and powerful visual record of life on the freakish margins of society, for which she became renowned. Her empathetic acceptance of what she saw set her work apart and gave her access to the usually unapproachable: transvestites, dwarves, prostitutes, nudists, and the everyday ugly. She died a suicide at 48. One of the most acclaimed and influential American photographers of the latter 20th cent., Arbus was the sister of the poet Howard Nemerov.

Silk Wool Blend Fabric
Blended for a rich hand, this textile is warm yet surprisingly silky, making it perfect for Fall and Winter garments. Wool with a touch of class, the addition of silk allows for a satiny finish minus the defining itchiness of typical wools. Although this material is perfect for lightweight jackets and suiting separates due to its durability, it should be dry cleaned to preserve its luster.

Colorado voters appeared to be giving the go-ahead to widespread legalization of marijuana, according to early election returns available the night of Nov. 6.
At 9:38 p.m., partial statewide returns showed Amendment 64 leading 53 percent to 47 percent.
If the amendment passes in final returns, people 21 and older will be allowed to possess small amounts of marijuana for recreational use. The Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol was behind the drive, and as the name suggests, the amendment will allow the sale and possession of marijuana with controls similar to those for alcoholic beverages.
However, much is unknown, including how the federal government will respond. The federal government classifies marijuana as a Schedule I drug, putting it in the same category as heroin and LSD. Schedule I drugs are those that the government says have no medical use and a high potential for abuse.
Even before the vote, there were stirrings that indicated federal displeasure with Colorado's existing medical-marijuana provisions. Federal authorities had sent letters to medical-marijana retailers near schools telling them to shut down, and letters to the retailers' landlords warning of the possibility of asset seizure.
It also is questionable where recreational marijuana will be sold. Communities can bar its sale, and some elected bodies have already taken stands against the amendment.
Voters may have bought the arguments of Amendment 64 supporters, who said enforcement of marijuana laws diverts police from more important duties and taints good citizens by tagging them with criminal records. They may also have been swayed by a plan for an excise tax that could funnel $40 million a year into school construction, although lawmakers would have to let voters decide on the tax in another election.
Opponents of Amendment 64 raised fears of increased marijuana availability for young people, and increased danger to society from impaired people driving and performing other risky tasks.
While the amendment permits marijuana use under state law, it is unclear what changes could occur in employment policies for people who test positive for long-lasting metabolites from marijuana, which linger in the body long after use.
The answers to all these questions should play out in the days, weeks and months ahead.

UMass Amherst police are investigating an alleged rape of an 18-year-old student by four residents of Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The defendants were arrested Friday in Pittsfield and arraigned Monday on multiple counts of rape.
The attack allegedly occurred in a campus residence early Saturday, October 13th. The four defendants are not Umass students, but according to a university statement, are known to the victim. Three of the defendants are 18-years-old, the fourth is 17-years-old. The victim reported the alleged assault on Sunday, October 14th. Umass Police Chief John Horvath says his department began an immediate investigation, but determined the greater campus community was not at risk and, was not immediately alerted.
Horvath says three of the four perpetrators were signed into the victim's dorm building at 12:30 a.m., though he says the identities of those who signed the perpetrators in is still under investigation. He says residence hall security will be reviewed.

Anglo-Australian painter Charles Conder (1868–1909) was one of the group of artists who painted plein-air landscapes around Sydney and Melbourne during the 1880s, and together with Tom Roberts and Arthur Streeton (cat.31) was a major instigator of the 1889 '9 by 5 impressions' exhibition in Melbourne. In 1890 he moved to Europe, where he made watercolours on silk and painted designs for fans which resulted in some of his most exquisite images. For a period from 1893 until his marriage in 1901 Conder moved between London, Dieppe and Paris, but by 1902 he had returned to London. In 1904 Sir Edmund Davis commissioned Conder to design a group of watercolours for the decoration of his drawing room and bedchamber in his home at 11–13 Lansdowne Road, Holland Park.
Lambert probably met Conder at this time through Sir Edmund and Lady Davis. They had extended their patronage to Lambert from 1902 until 1904 by lending him a studio in Lansdowne House, a block of flats at 80 Lansdowne Road, a short distance from their home. Conder was also a friend of Charles Ricketts and Charles Shannon, who also had a studio in Lansdowne House. These artists all shared an interest in glamorous costume and in making reference to the paintings of earlier artists in their own work. On 10 December 1904, when Conder had completed his decorations for their house, the Davises held a party to celebrate the event, to which all the guests were invited to come in fancy dress. The Lamberts were probably included among their guests; it is also likely that the Lamberts were invited to Conder's fancy dress party, held at his home at 91 Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, a few months later on 18 February 1905.
In this remarkable portrait Lambert used relatively few strokes of the pencil to capture Conder's character. He showed Conder from a distance, wrapped in a large sofa and immersed in a book. He observed small details such as his long eyelashes and the way in which loose strands of hair fell over his brow.

Top Shelf Magnum Deep Runner Series Swimbaits
A must-have bait for serious tournament anglers - the Top Shelf Magnum Deep Runner Series Swimbait is the first and only swimbait of its kind that won't constantly rise to the surface when retrieved at a very high speed. This means anglers can 'power' fish these baits with all the benefits of a 'line-thru' style swimbait. The 'line-thru' design allows the bait to slide up the line when fighting a fish, ensuring a better catch ratio and protecting your bait.
100% handmade in the USA, each Top Shelf Magnum Deep Runner Series Swimbait undergoes a strict, confidential 48-hour pouring process. This one-of-a-kind process is responsible for creating the bait's extremely realistic coloring, texture and swimming action. It also ensures a high level of precision so the bait never rolls over or turns on its side, whether you fish it super fast or extremely slow. Featuring only premium components, each Top Shelf Swimbait also includes an Owner Needle Point Hook. The inserts, as well as, the bait's 3D eyes are also cemented in place by hand, so they won't fall out easily or shake loose. The Top Shelf Magnum Series Swimbait will take your bass fishing to a new level with its ability to not rise up to the water's surface when fished fast, as well as, its dynamic coloring, tantalizing swimming action and premium construction.

Customer Reviews
Comments: The eyes measure 3/8 and the first thing you want to do when you get this bait is to take the eyes off and add a drop of huddle-bond or super glue and place them back on before fishing them. Chris Zaldain showed this bait at the ISE demo tank and the bass couldn't resist them! Great colors and size.
From: Mikey: Modesto
Comments: I have never seen anything in the water that looks so real, how ever I have fished 4 of these baits already and not one has survived the fifth cast without coming back with out at least one eye gone, if not both. That is disappointing.
From: Tom: Elizabeth City, NC
Comments:TOP SHELF!!!! These swim baits truly are Top Shelf. I have used the ospreys for years and was always disappointed with quality. Top Shelf is the most consistent quality I have ever seen. I bought 12 baits and all of them ran straight right out of the package. There is no other hand poured swim bait that even comes close to Top Shelf quality. I have fished the same bait for the last 2 months and the eyes and insert show no sign of wear.. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!

Report says surviving volatility is the key to staying in business.
by Dennis Halladay, Hoard's Dairyman Western Editor
A report last month from a major dairy lender confirmed what many producers already knew: the long era of mostly gradual ebbs and flows in U.S. milk prices and production costs is over. In its place is constant unpredictable volatility that is often sudden, sometimes extreme and occasionally fatal.
The report's take-home messages are: get used to it, and you can't thrive if you don't survive.
"The U.S. cycle as we knew it died in the mid-2000s," says one subhead in "Dysrythmia: The End of the Old Dairy Price Cycle" issued October 10 by the Rabobank Food & Agribusiness Research and Advisory Group. "The death of the old dairy cycle warrants a new approach to planning," says another.
The bank's findings won't come as a surprise to anyone who survived 2009 and now struggle again in 2012. They also paint a picture that highlights financial caution over aggressiveness and focusing on long-term survival over short-term opportunity.
The report makes the case that for decades, regular and relatively moderate dairy price cycles were spaced at roughly three-year intervals as a result of two primary factors: little U.S. participation in global export markets and government support programs that provided a safety net against catastrophic downturns.
This cocoon of predictability began to crack in the mid-1990s as growing financial abilities outside the U.S. fueled greater competition for feed commodities. Rising demand also pushed world milk prices to or above U.S. support levels, creating a huge new alternative for dairy product sellers.
"The U.S. found itself suddenly part of the global market, ending decades of isolation. Diversity and unpredictability has long ensured that those playing in the internationally traded market have never experienced anything approaching a regular pricing cycle. Changed fundamentals and recent experience suggest that the U.S. dairy price cycle as we knew it is dead and has been replaced by something more erratic."
In conclusion, the report says, "Finding a way to survive this volatility is a precondition for long-term survival in the U.S. dairy industry."

"These are really cute. I ordered a half size up based on other reviews and they are too big. But I had to wear them anyway and didn't have time to exchange them so I just used a heel insert and that worked okay. There are kind of stiff and hard to get on, so I don't know if I would have liked a size down. I think they are shoes best tried in multiple sizes to see what works for you."

It offers an up-close look at a fascinating piece of transportation history. It is popular with bicyclists who ride from town to town exploring the history, dining, lodging, and entertainment possibilities as they travel. The canal multi-purpose recreational trail is a portion of the American Discovery Trail, a 6,800-mile coast-to-coast trail devoted to non-motorized use. It is also part of the Grand Illinois Trail, a 535-mile loop through northern Illinois. The tree-lined park is a refuge with prairie restorations and wetlands slicing through corn and soybean farmland. Home to diverse flora and fauna, it has become a favorite for bird watchers and prairie enthusiasts. It offers numerous year-round opportunities to boat, hike, bike, fish, ride horseback, snowmobile, ice skate, and cross-country ski. Explore Henry County's jewel – the Hennepin Canal. In wintertime experience the longest snowmobile trail in the state -- 91 miles on the tow path. You can use the ice at your own risk, but pay heed to the locks, bridges and culverts where the ice likely is thinner than the rest of the canal. Bring your blades, skating along the canal is free! Keep in mind the rule is there must be 4" of snow and 6" of frost on canal for route to be open. Call the Visitor Center for automated message.

History in the Paint Public Art Tour
In the summer of 2013, a collective of artists, called the Walldogs, came to Kewanee, IL to paint 15 historic murals depicting the long history and heritage of the city. These paintings can be found on many downtown facades, as well as at the Amtrak Station that brings new people to the area, every day. About this mural: Kewanee was founded in May of 1854, when the Military Tract Railroad was routed to the north of Wethersfield. The town founders were from Wethersfield Township to the south, Sylvester Blish, Ralph Tenney, Henry Little and Sullivan Howard, plus Nelson Lay from Wisconsin. Colonel Berrian, civil engineer who supervised the laying of the track through this area, was asked to choose a name and he decided on "Kewanee," a Winnebago Indian word for "prairie chicken." In 1921, Wethersfield's 2,000 people asked to be annexed to Kewanee with its 16,000. That 18,000 would turn out to be Kewanee's peak population.
Founded in 1976, the group maintains the Kewanee Historical Society's Robert and Marcella Richards Museum, featuring numerous exhibits highlighting the colorful history of Kewanee. Open, May 1st to October 1st Thursday & Saturday, 1:30PM-4:00PM Open Everyday Labor Day Weekend

WASHINGTON -- President Obama plans on Monday to nominate Chuck Hagel, the former Republican senator from Nebraska and Vietnam War veteran, to lead the Pentagon as Defense secretary, according to two sources familiar with the nomination process.
Hagel, 66, served two terms in the Senate from 1997 to 2009, and led an Army infantry squad in Vietnam in 1968. He was wounded in action there and received two Purple Hearts. An administration source confirmed that Hagel's nomination would be announced Monday. Both sources spoke on condition of anonymity because it had not been officially announced.
Hagel, if approved by the Senate, would succeed Leon Panetta. Hagel would inherit a military frayed by more than a decade of war and facing at least $500 billion in spending reductions over the next decade. It is also shedding about 100,000 soldiers and Marines.
When his name surfaced as a potential Defense secretary, Hagel came under criticism from some supporters of Israel and gay groups for comments he has made. Hagel once referred to the "Jewish lobby" in reference to advocates for Israel who lobbied the Senate; and he referred in 1998 to a nominee for ambassador in the Clinton administration as "aggressively gay."
Hagel said he misspoke about Israel's supporters, and has apologized for the comment about the gay nominee.
Hagel has also angered fellow Republicans. He voted to authorize President George W. Bush to use force in the run up to the Iraq War, but he later lamented the way the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were fought.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., declined Sunday to endorse the prospective nomination of his former Senate GOP colleague, saying only that whoever is nominated will get a thorough vetting.
"I'm going to take a look at all the things Chuck has said over the years," McConnell said on ABC's This Week. "I'm going to want to see how the hearings go."
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., the Senate's number two Democrat, noted that Hagel is a Republican, a former senator from Nebraska, a decorated combat veteran who served in Vietnam, and has vast foreign policy experience. Speaking on CNN's State of the Union, Durbin also pointed out that Obama won the presidential nomination, and is entitled to name his team.
"Yes, (Hagel) is a serious candidate," Durbin said.
Some Republicans, including Arizona Sen. John McCain, said Hagel has been too critical of Israel and too soft on Iran and its nuclear program.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said on CNN that he likes Hagel personally, but he is "out of the mainstream" on foreign policy views, and his nomination would be "antagonistic." Graham also noted that Hagel has cut his ties to the Republican Party.
"This is an in-your-face nomination by the president," Graham said. "This is a controversial pick."
In a Meet the Press interview a week ago, Obama praised Hagel as "a patriot. He is somebody who has done extraordinary work both in the United States Senate, somebody who served this country with valor in Vietnam. And is somebody who's currently serving on my intelligence advisory board and doing an outstanding job."
As for the gay comment, Obama noted that Hagel has apologized for it.
Though a Republican, Hagel was critical of the Iraq War during the George W. Bush administration. In the fall, he endorsed a Democrat in the U.S. Senate race in Nebraska, former Senate colleague Bob Kerrey (who lost).
Washington engaged in a similar pre-emptive nomination fight late last year when Obama considered nominating United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice to be secretary of State; the president eventually nominated Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., for the post now held by Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Hagel would face immediate decisions on key issues affecting the Pentagon. The pace of the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan -- all U.S. forces are scheduled to depart by 2014 -- will be at the top of the list. There are about 66,000 U.S. troops there now, and commanders would like to keep as many there as possible through next summer, when fighting peaks.
Michael O'Hanlon, a military analyst at the Brookings Institution, said Hagel appears likely to favor ending the U.S. military commitment rapidly.
"It's hard to believe he'd support commanders in the field as much as previous secretaries, in terms of where their instincts tend to be," O'Hanlon said in an e-mail. "I believe that his previous statements suggest he'd support a fast drawdown. I just hope he'd take time to reconsider before blessing that approach--as I'm sure he would."
On the budget, Hagel could be expected to challenge the brass on its commitment to keeping as many soldiers on active-duty as it did during the 1990s and pricey weapons systems such as the F-35 fighter jet, O'Hanlon said.
Over the next five years, the Army is scheduled to lose about 80,000 soldiers to reach 490,000 active-duty members. The Pentagon plans to spend nearly $400 billion to build about 2,500 of its next-generation fighter jet.
