I'm making an app that uses the picker to let the user pick age and few other inputs. for eg: i have a button age, when the user clicks it, the picker shows the age. i managed to add individual picker for all the inputs, how ever i'm having problems setting different arrays for each picker.
- (NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component {
if (pickerview == picker) {
return [pickerViewArray objectAtIndex:row];
else if (pickerview == stagepicker)
return [stagepickerarray objectAtInde:row];
- (NSInteger)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView numberOfRowsInComponent:(NSInteger)component {
if (thePickerView == picker){ return [pickerViewArray count]; }
else if (thePickerView == stagepicker){ [stagepickerarray count]; }
the above method isn't working for me !. Am I doing this right ?

Anniversary of Gehrig's famous speech
Ontario/Rochester, N.Y. - It was 75 years ago on Friday, when Lou Gehrig said goodbye to baseball, after being diagnosed with ALS. He died at just 37 years old.
It's a disease that nearly 5,600 people the U.S. are diagnosed with each year.
"She had had some symptoms probably about a year prior to her diagnosis," said Renee Scholz of Ontario, whose mother, Lucretia Lettau, was diagnosed with ALS at 62-years-old.
"It's very difficult for the person getting that diagnosis and the family members and the loved ones around that person," she explained.
Scholz watched her mother physically decline over three years.
According to ALS Association, the disease attacks nerve cells that eventually cause a person to lose voluntary muscle control and movement. Patients become paralyzed in the later stages of the disease. In most cases a person's mind remain sharp and alert.
Lettau passed away in 2008, but Scholz said her spirit never faltered.
"She said you know I love life, I'm not depressed I love life," said Scholz. "And she lived it to the fullest."
Pam Dunlap of Rochester knows says her husband, Jeff Dunlap, of 34-years also maintained a positive outlook on life after being diagnosed in 2005.
"His spirit was unbelievable," said Dunlap.
Before Dunlap's husband passed away in 2009 - they started a website to help other's with the disease.
It's now grown into Hearts for ALS NY, a not for profit that helps families with expenses not covered by insurance.
"Most of these you get Social Security, disability but you're on Medicare so the little things are what I wanted to help the families with," said Dunlap. The organization has helped 12 local families since 2012.
"I think he'd [Jeff] be proud of me, I think the kids are," she said. "I've met too many people during this travel that I've taken. And they're usually the nicest people that you meet and I just can't walk away from them."
Or the fight against a devastating disease that took her husband too soon.
People with ALS live on average two to five years after diagnosis.

CM to Kickstart Poll Campaign from Theradi
By T Muruganandham - CHENNAI
Published: 25th February 2014 08:34 AM
Last Updated: 25th February 2014 08:34 AM
AIADMK general secretary and Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on Monday announced candidates for the 40 Lok Sabha constituencies in State and Puducherry and also released the schedule for her State-wide campaign from March 3 till April 5.
The AIADMK chief will commence her campaign from Theradi in Kancheepuram and would visit the following places thereafter: Sriperumpudur (March 4), Nagapattinam and Mayiladuthurai (March 6), Kanyakumari (March 9), Chidambaram (March 11), Erode and Tirupur (March 13), Kallakurichi (March 15), Ramanathapuram (March 18), Tiruchi (March 19), Virudhunagar and Sivaganga (March 21), Pondicherry (March 23), Dindigul (March 25), Vellore (March 28), Tuticorin (April 1), Theni (April 2) and Tenkasi (April 5).
Asked whether any more parties would be accommodated in the AIADMK-led front, Jayalalithaa said: "For us, the present alliance is sufficient."
On the election plank of the AIADMK, she said, "Already I have announced that our slogan for the election would be 'Peace, Prosperity and Progress'. Further details would be revealed in our election manifesto to be released soon."
On her birthday, the AIADMK chief said her message to the people of Tamil Nadu is: "Cooperate with us and work for peace, prosperity and progress of not only Tamil Nadu but the entire Nation."
Responding to a question, Jayalalithaa said "My concentration will be on Tamil Nadu and Puducherry and winning the 40 seats. So my efforts will be concentrated here."
Asked if she would seek a special package for Tamil Nadu on the lines of some states, she shot back "This government? This government is on its way out. We will get whatever we want from a new government that will probably take charge in June."

NEW YORK (MainStreet) — It is said that the ancient Greeks had a knack of wrapping truths in myths, the better to communicate everyday truths.
An interesting concept, but one that won't wash with our investment experts, who were invited to pick their biggest retirement planning myth and debunk it, whether it be how much money you'll really need to retire comfortably or the virtues of paying off your mortgage early.
The ancient Greeks wouldn't approve, but they're not around to help you with your retirement anyway. Here's a look:

Myth No. 1: $1 million will guarantee a stable retirement.
Expert: Nicole Rutledge Regili, lead adviser with Orlando, Fla.'s Resource Consulting Group
Not necessarily!
First, $1 million today does not buy you what $1 million would buy you 20 years ago, thanks to inflation. Second, $1 million may or may not be your "number."
That number is determined by many variables, but spending and portfolio returns are the most prominent.
Here's what I mean: Someone earning about 7% annualized for 20 years and spending $200,000 per year would need around $2.2 million in the bank, whereas someone earning this same 7% but spending only $100,000 per year needs only half as much, $1.1 million. There's a similar relationship with the rate of return your money is earning. If your portfolio is invested very conservatively and earns 4% per year, and you want to spend $200,000 per year, you would need closer to $3 million.

A Harrisburg man will be recognized for his heroic actions on the day that EF-4 tornado ripped through his community.
David Murphy was working at a department store in Harrisburg, when the tornado came barreling through.
When the tornado hit the store, it threw a delivery driver and his truck into a nearby pond.
That's when Murphy used his cell phone to light up the pond, and find the driver.
Murphy and co-workers loaded the man on a pallet and drove him to the hospital.
Murphy will receive the Wireless Fountain Award on Friday afternoon at the Harrisburg Wal-Mart.

Today's Featured Article - Irish Potato Famine
Nutrition labels are statements of nutritional value and ingredients on food items. But that's not what I want to write about. I want to write about the Irish Potato Famine, a period of mass starvation, disease and emigration that occurred in Ireland between 1845 and 1852. A disease affecting potatoes known as "potato blight" was ultimately to blame, but most chose, and some still do to this day, to believe the famine was part of a greater conspiracy to further worsen living conditions in Ireland by the United States in order to force Irish workers to come build the transcontinental railroad.
The famine killed over one million people and nearly imploded the Irish economy due to the Irish currency being backed by potatoes. Some historians disagree with me on this point by falsely claiming that Ireland was governed by the United Kingdom at the time and that Ireland had no regional currency. I contest this on the basis that I am right and they are plainly wrong.
So there Ireland was, just an island in Northwestern Europe, a stone's throw away from Britain. It was looking idly at the ongoings of Europe, which was already dealing with the potato blight but couldn't care much about it. France was too busy raping Hajis in Algeria so that Albert Camus could pen The Stranger a century later, and Spain was too busy repeatedly declaring war on itself. Irish officials felt that their island was safe from the blight because they had just filled the Irish Sea with alligators to ward off the periodontitis-laden imperialists from the other island. Despite these efforts, several potatoes which had already got some sick made their way to the isle. Conspiracy theorists claim that the alligator infested Irish Sea would've made a point of entry from the east impossible, and thus the sickly index case potatoes must have come from America.

Recently featured: Irish Potato Famine - UnBooks:Aesop's Tables
Yesterday's Featured Article - UnBooks:Aesop's Tables
Having achieved significant commercial and literary success with his compendium of fables, published in 580 BCE, Aesop was able to pay his way out of slavery and into the infinitely more profitable business of self-promotion and after dinner speaking. History has not recorded the exact details of these missing years of Aesop's life, which was why we here at Anythingforadolla books were thrilled to discover this untouched manuscript believed to have been penned by Aesop himself in around 571 BCE. The publishers understand that having found initial success with fables, Aesop found himself struggling to make ends meet so he used the remainder of his personal wealth to purchase a stall near Thermopylae selling stylish tables to appoint the typical Ancient Greek dwelling.
This manuscript appears to chronicle Aesop's efforts to replicate the success he had had in literature into a fast paced business world.
There was once a tortoise, whose regular route to and from Lamia took him past a thriving retail outlet near Thermopylae. The tortoise was not particularly wise, for he rarely stopped to examine the fine woodwork or appreciate the craftsmanship on display at the thriving retail outlet or to consider the very competitively priced wares, but he was rich and powerful. One day the tortoise passed the retail outlet and had cause to speak to its proprietor.(more...)

Can't move apps to SD?
Is it possible to move apps to the SD card with this phone? I only see two options for apps that I *know* support being moved to the SD card: "move to phone" or "move to internal memory."
I also know internal memory is NOT the SD card, it's part of the 8gb that comes with the phone.
Does the phone need to be rooted in order to move apps to the SD, or is it just flat out impossible with this phone? If it was, that'd be a real bummer.

Overall this was a pretty bad comedy show. The two opening comics were terrible and Arj was just OK. His setup was too long and the time between laughs was long as well. Towards the end of his set half the audience was engaged in conversation...continued

The agent for Washington Redskins LB Brian Orakpo tells The Washington Post that an MRI taken Sunday showed no serious damage to Orakpo's left shoulder. Agent Ben Dogra added that he expects Orakpo to be ready for the season-opener Sept. 9 against the New Orleans Saints. Orakpo was seen grabbing his left arm trying to tackle Devin Hester in the first half of Saturday's game against Chicago.
Analysis: As the team's top pass-rusher and sacks leader from last season, Orakpo is one of the most valuable members of Washington's defense. The fact that he's not expected to miss any time is good news for fantasy owners considering the Redskins D/ST unit or Orakpo in an IDP league. Washington's defense might be a good start in some weeks but Orakpo has more value in IDP leagues because of the sack totals he could produce.

2015 Old Farmer's Almanac Predicts 'Super-Cold' Winter For Eastern Two-Thirds Of U.S.
Back when I still lived under my parents' roof, I'd sometimes grab my dad's latest copy of the Old Farmer's Almanac to read. Don't know about the Almanac? From their website:
Since 1792, The Old Farmer's Almanac has spoken to all walks of life: tide tables for those who live near the ocean; sunrise and planting charts for those who live on the farm; recipes for those who live in the kitchen; and forecasts for those who don't like the question of weather left up in the air…
Our operation is based in Dublin, New Hampshire. The words of the Almanac's founder, Robert B. Thomas, guide us still: "Our main endeavour is to be useful, but with a pleasant degree of humor."
I thought the annual publication looked pretty "useful," and figured once I grew up I'd buy my own copies.
A couple of decades later, I'm all ready to purchase the 2015 edition of the Almanac that's set to be released in less than a week. Now, I'm not blogging about the Old Farmer's Almanac because it's going to be made available to the public earlier than its usual mid- September release date- which is sort of news. Rather, this post is about the publication's long-term weather forecast for the country in the coming year. Specifically, winter. Rik Stevens on the Associated Press website earlier today:
The Old Farmer's Almanac, the familiar, 223-year-old chronicler of climate, folksy advice and fun facts, is predicting a colder winter and warmer summer for much of the nation.
Published Wednesday, the New Hampshire-based almanac predicts a "super-cold" winter in the eastern two-thirds of the country. The west will remain a little bit warmer than normal.
"Colder is just almost too familiar a term," Editor Janice Stillman said. "Think of it as a refriger-nation."
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
I don't like the sound of that. Stevens added later:
More bad news for those who can't stand snow: Most of the Northeast is expected to get more snowfall than normal, though it will be below normal in New England…
Perhaps the rest of the country will get to see more like the following this winter…
"Reckless Tow Truck New York"
Warning: Language
YouTube Video
I like the fact that the Old Farmer's Almanac has about an 80 percent success rate with its weather forecasts.
For more regional highlights and what could be in store for the U.S. after this coming winter, you can read the rest of that AP piece here.
No mention of winter for the Midwest though in that article. Guess I'll find out what's in store for us once I get my copy- and whether or not I should plan on shoveling/snowblowing every other/every third day like I did a lot last winter.

Downtown Chicago Could Receive Resilient Electric Grid
Some good news coming out of Chicago concerning the protection of its electric grid. From area electric utility ComEd yesterday:
ComEd to Partner with AMSC on Superconductor-based Resilient Electric Grid System
Homeland Security Project Seeks to Increase the Resiliency and Security of
Chicago's Electric Grid
Devens, MA, and Chicago, IL – July 16, 2014 – AMSC (NASDAQ: AMSC), a global energy solutions provider serving wind and power grid industry leaders, today announced that ComEd, a unit of Chicago-based Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC) and one of the nation's largest electric utilities, has agreed to develop a deployment plan for AMSC's high temperature superconductor technology to build a superconducting cable system that will strengthen Chicago's electric grid. The Resilient Electric Grid (REG) effort is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate's work to secure the nation's electric power grids and improve resiliency against extreme weather, acts of terrorism, or other catastrophic events.
"Modernizing our region's electric grid is part of ComEd's vision to strengthen power reliability and to connect our customers and this region to the 21st century digital economy," said Anne R. Pramaggiore, President and CEO, ComEd. "We view this project as a natural extension of the infrastructure improvements and technological upgrades that have been under way for the past two years as we develop and deploy the smart grid. Linking our critical urban infrastructure to this superconductor system would provide added reliability, resiliency and security to Chicago's Central Business District, an essential economic engine for the state and region."
The current design of the grid infrastructure in many U.S. cities makes restoration of power after a catastrophic event time-consuming, costly, and unpredictable. Led by the DHS Science and Technology Directorate, the Resilient Electric Grid is a self-healing solution that provides resiliency in the event that portions of the grid are lost for any reason. The ComEd installation would be the first commercial application of this advanced technology in the United States…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
Nice to hear a project protecting downtown Chicago's grid is in the works, although to be fair, only three miles of superconductor cable is supposed to be laid.
If you're outside the "Loop" you'll be lumped together with the rest of us mopes in the Chicago metropolitan area.
The lights are flickering. Gotta run.
You can read the entire press release (.pdf file) on the ComEd website here.

2.9 Percent GDP Contraction Casts Doubt On Sustainability Of Economic 'Recovery'
Remember that U.S. GDP "hiccup" from the first quarter?
It's been revised. And let me just tell you, barf-o-rama baby. Barf-o-rama.
From a Reuters piece on the CNBC website earlier today:
The U.S. economy contracted at a much steeper pace than previously estimated in the first quarter, but there are indications that growth has since rebounded strongly.
The Commerce Department said on Wednesday gross domestic product fell at a 2.9 percent annual rate, the economy's worst performance in five years, instead of the 1.0 percent pace it had reported last month.
While the economy's woes have been largely blamed on an unusually cold winter, the magnitude of the revisions suggest other factors at play beyond the weather…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
Wow, did I just read that last part right? Usually the MSM plays along with that oft-used weather excuse as bad government economic reports are concerned.
The general feeling I'm getting tonight from mainstream media outlets is one of "don't worry, be happy." Of course, damage control is in overdrive. Jeffry Bartash reported on the MarketWatch website:
The revised GDP report briefly stunned Wall Street and clearly unsettled the White House. President Obama's chief economic adviser, Jason Furman, cast doubt on the report and argued the economy is much stronger than the first-quarter contraction implied.
Investors, for their part, shrugged off the backward-looking report. The economy appears to have rebounded in the second quarter and economists polled by MarketWatch predict growth will turn positive again, with a 3.8% increase…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
3.8 percent increase in GDP in the second quarter? After revisions? It will be interesting to see if they're right.
Personally, I feel that abysmal first quarter GDP report is a worrisome sign the sustained economic "recovery" we keep being told about is getting long in the tooth.
"Taper" to go full reverse soon, like "crash prophet" Peter Schiff has been predicting?

Project Prepper, Part 28: Buying My Parents Some Emergency Preps
A couple of years ago, my parents in the Chicago suburbs lost electricity for an extended period of time after severe weather pummeled the area. I heard from them the morning after the event, and they weren't doing so well. Without power on an extremely hot and humid night, the two of them fumbled around in the dark and hardly got any sleep. My Mom informed me that it was especially brutal on my Dad, who is an octogenarian with all sorts of health issues- mobility being one of them. During that conversation, my mother told let me that I should be prepared to evacuate him if the electricity didn't come back on that evening.
Evacuate meaning carrying him down from their fourth floor condo unit in a building without working elevators.
He's kind of heavy (225 pounds), so I wasn't really looking forward to this task. Thankfully, the electric company got the power restored to their building before I had to attempt this.
Shortly after this incident, I asked my parents if they wanted me to help them prepare for the next time this happened. Shockingly, they were actually receptive to this.
Alas, I wasn't able to assist them right away. So the next time I brought the subject up, Mom and Dad weren't interested.
I guess this is pretty common according to the emergency management pros. An emergency/disaster strikes, and those affected initially talk about being prepared for the next major crisis. But then they never follow through. And the next emergency/disaster happens.
Seeing that the Chicago area just wrapped up its winter of 2013-14 a couple of weeks ago (there was an unmelted snow pile still on the ground two suburbs over in early May!), and severe weather often rolls through during the transition from winter to summer, I recently purchased some basic emergency preparedness gear from Amazon.com for my parents anyway (I didn't want them to go through another hellish night like the one they experienced a couple of years ago). This included:
This lantern would be their main source of emergency lighting in a blackout. From the Coleman website:
Light the night your way with the Coleman Twin LED Lantern. Extra-bright at up to 390 lumens, this lantern lets you see far and wide while four Cree LEDs, which never need to be replaced, provide effective, efficient, energy-saving light when you need it. The rotating dial offers customizable light settings from low to high. Long runtimes—299 hours on ultra-low and 85 hours on high—will have you back home before you need fresh batteries. Its weather-resistant construction delivers reliable output, even in wet and windy conditions, and its base unscrews for quick access to the battery chamber so you can change them virtually anywhere, anytime. Powered by 8 D-cell batteries, come out of the dark with the Coleman Twin LED Lantern.
The twin LED lantern costs $36.44 on Amazon.com as I type this.
Coleman 4D XPS Classic Personal Size LED Lantern
For when either of my parents go to a different room from where that twin LED lantern is situated. From Amazon.com:
The Coleman 4D XPS Classic Personal Size LED Lantern sheds 190 lumens of light, thanks to the super-bright Cree XLamp XR-E LED. The Lantern is Coleman XPS-compatible; it will run for up to 60 hours on High, 25 hours on Low, on 4 D-cell batteries — or use the optional 6V rechargeable battery pack (both sold separately). A diffuser tube provides a perfect beam pattern. The Lantern is weather-resistant to withstand the elements, so it's great for camping and other outdoor use.
The personal LED lantern costs $19.98 on Amazon.com as I type this.
O2COOL NEW 10″ Battery Operated Fan with Adapter
I bought two of these (one for each parent). From the Chicago, Illinois-based O2COOL website:
Features Include:
• Dual Power sources: Plug-in with the AC adapter (included) or use 8 D-Cell batteries (not included).
• Powerful 2 speed 10-inch blade.
• Convenient built-in handle.
• Stable horseshoe base.
• Tilts for directional air flow.
• Compact folding design makes it great for travel; easy to carry and store.
• Perfect for camping and outdoor activities.
• Up to 40 hours of battery life.
Each portable dual power fan costs $26.85 on Amazon.com as I type this.
Yeah, I know these devices require a bunch of "D" batteries (which I already picked up and installed a couple of weeks ago). But my parents won't use these lanterns or portable fans if they're too "complicated" to power and operate.
I also picked up two 3.5-gallon WaterBrick water containers (discussed here) for my parents as well from a different vendor. I figured in addition to helping my parents cope with a blackout, I could help them deal with a boil-water advisory like the one that hit nearby Deerfield, Illinois, last summer.
A single WaterBrick costs $20.02 on Amazon.com as I type this.
Finally, my parents had some existing preps at their condo. Besides a variety of flashlights, I bought them a black Princeton Tec Fuel Headlamp similar to the one I own and use (discussed here, $19.38 on Amazon.com).
And while not an emergency radio, my Mom picked my Dad up a Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio. It's handy and I can think of a ton of uses for it- besides getting information in an emergency. Plus, the price is definitely right ($12.97 on Amazon.com).
"Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio"
YouTube Video
I'll still be sending them over a "real" emergency radio soon.
So a little bit of a detour in my "Project Prepper" series of posts. But definitely worthwhile.
Once I get back to my parents I'll take some photos of these preps and share them with readers.

2014 Atlantic Hurricane Season Begins
The 2014 Atlantic hurricane season began yesterday. And back on May 22, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration told us what we could expect for the next six months. From the NOAA website:
In its 2014 Atlantic hurricane season outlook issued today, NOAA's Climate Prediction Center is forecasting a near-normal or below-normal season.
The main driver of this year's outlook is the anticipated development of El Niño this summer. El Niño causes stronger wind shear, which reduces the number and intensity of tropical storms and hurricanes. El Niño can also strengthen the trade winds and increase the atmospheric stability across the tropical Atlantic, making it more difficult for cloud systems coming off of Africa to intensify into tropical storms.
The outlook calls for a 50 percent chance of a below-normal season, a 40 percent chance of a near-normal season, and only a 10 percent chance of an above-normal season. For the six-month hurricane season, which begins June 1, NOAA predicts a 70 percent likelihood of 8 to 13 named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher), of which 3 to 6 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 1 to 2 major hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5; winds of 111 mph or higher).
These numbers are near or below the seasonal averages of 12 named storms, six hurricanes and three major hurricanes, based on the average from 1981 to 2010. The Atlantic hurricane region includes the North Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico…
While the forecast is rosy, I wouldn't let my guard down.
Those living in potentially-affected areas should pay a visit to the National Hurricane Preparedness Week page on the National Hurricane Center website to help prepare against these severe weather events.
You can read that entire 2014 Atlantic hurricane season forecast on the NOAA website here.

Resource Of The Week: Twotsi.com Space Weather Warning Service
Last summer, while seeking some resource out there that tracks severe space weather and attempts to forecast the resulting geomagnetic storms affecting Earth, I came across the Russian-based TESIS Geomagnetic Activity Forecast (blogged about here).
Recently, I stumbled on a similar resource called the Twotsi.com Space Weather Warning Service. Billed as "Free Solar Flare and Magnetic Storm Warnings," their website says:
This service is pretty reliable since it uses data from the US Government Noaa service forecast updated daily, and the report updated 3 hourly so its nearly real time. If they go down due to a solar flare its too late!
We here at Twotsi have got rather concerned with the statements that NASA made in June 2011 regarding their inability to predict major solar events, and their issuing of a video to their employees on preparing for an emergency. We looked to see if we could find a free Alert service that would give timely warnings of an event but could not do so, so we found where the info was online and came up with a way to produce a system backed by the might of NASA and Noaa. Here it is…
The free alert service utilizes e-mail, and each alert message:
Will have a full synopsis of what is currently occurring and what is expected to occur in the next 24 hours. This includes information on ongoing and predicted Geo Magnetic Storms, Solar Radiation Storms (can affect GPS), and Radio Blackout events. This will also be accompanied by the latest 3 day forecast…
According to the website, users can set the level of alert to start receiving messages from, and can unsubscribe from the service whenever they like. A minimum of one e-mail every thirty days is sent to users "to assure you that the service is still alive and kicking.
Interesting resource- which I might have to sign up for.

Dangerous Solar Storms Coming As Current Cycle Wanes?
"Though the sun is currently in the peak year of its 11-year solar weather cycle, our closest star has been rather quiet over all, scientists say.
This year's solar maximum is shaping up to be the weakest in 100 years…"
-SPACE.com, July 12, 2013
"This is the height of the 11-year solar cycle, the so-called solar maximum. The face of the Sun should be pockmarked with sunspots, and cataclysmic explosions of X-rays and particles should be whizzing off every which way.
Instead, the Sun has been tranquil, almost spotless…"
-The New York Times website, September 23, 2013
I have this feeling that many of those concerned about a dangerous solar maximum (normal period of greatest solar activity in an 11-year "solar cycle" of the Sun) and Solar Cycle 24 are ready to call it a day.
I'm not sure we're out of the woods quite yet though when it comes to threatening space weather.
From the website of Boulder, Colorado-based University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a consortium of more than 100 member colleges and universities focused on research and training in the atmospheric and related Earth system sciences, earlier today:
As the current solar cycle winds down, the risk of big storms goes up
Don't write off this solar cycle just yet. Even though the current peak in the 11-year cycle of sunspot activity is on the weak side, the Sun might still produce a major storm at any point, spewing plasma that could disrupt power grids and satellite communications. What's more, the waning part of the solar cycle—which we'll experience during the latter part of this decade— is actually when the most dangerous storms are most likely.
NCAR solar physicist Scott McIntosh is raising awareness. He gave a talk at the American Meteorological Society's 2014 annual meeting on how and why solar storms tend to cluster on either side of the solar activity cycle, with the very biggest tending to occur as the cycle recedes…
(Editor's note: Bold in body text added for emphasis)
This is the first time I've heard of such an increased risk in dangerous space storms as a solar cycle wraps up. If I come across more material on this phenomenon, I'll share it with readers.
In the meantime, you can read that entire piece on the UCAR website here.

Severe Weather, Tornadoes Predicted This Weekend
I'm rather concerned about severe weather- including tornadoes- a number of meteorologists have been warning about since yesterday. From the Weather Channel website tonight:
As is typical of spring, the threat of severe weather is ramping up from the Plains into the Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley and parts of the South through early next week.
This weekend, the next weather system will begin to kick into gear and spark multiple rounds of severe thunderstorms and possible tornadoes from Saturday through at least Tuesday. In fact, we could see an outbreak of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes on multiple days…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
And then there's this from Alex Sosnowski, Expert Senior Meteorologist, on AccuWeather.com this evening:
A multiple-day outbreak of severe thunderstorms, including tornadoes, is set to begin this weekend. The outbreak is likely to be the worst of the season so far and may end up being one of the top severe weather events for the season…
People will need to keep a close eye on the weather, watch for rapidly changing weather conditions and pay careful attention to severe weather and tornado warnings as they are issued.
Now is the time to review tornado safety measures with your family…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
Not to be a worry-wart, but I think Sosnowski is on to something here. Please keep a close eye on the weather for the next couple of days. Get a weather radio (I bought a Midland WR-100 a couple of years back- and love it) if you don't have one already.

Project Prepper, Part 27: Transferring Pre-Owned Gear, Supplies To The New Everyday Carry Bag
In my last "Project Prepper" post, I blogged about the Everyday Carry bag and putting one together for myself after two decades of carrying something along the lines of one.
Today, I'll be talking more about transferring pre-owned gear and supplies to the new EDC bag.
Last Wednesday I wrote:
Tomorrow, I'm going to start transferring items from my old bag to the Patagonia Half Mass. In a future post I'll blog about Everyday Carry items going into the bag.
Well, that transfer is done, and the canvas FOX Outdoor Courier bag has been retired from front-line service after a good six years or so for the Patagonia Half Mass that's been designated to be my new EDC bag.
This morning, I busted out another old bag of mine which I purchased about a decade ago. The yellow Eddie Bauer gym bag- which is usually kept in my vehicle- contains not only items for a roadside emergency, but emergency preparedness gear and supplies which I started accumulating post-9/11. When added to the case of bottled water, old sleeping bag, and extra clothing/boots I would store in my car's trunk (not at the moment however as I change things up for this series of posts), I'd have the tools, gear, and supplies to tackle a number of emergencies- possibly for a couple of days if required.
The last time I really went through the bag- adding items and replacing expired supplies- was back in 2010.
Until today- when I started pulling a 3-day supply of emergency food and a disposable rain poncho from it for the new EDC bag,
I also added items to the new bag which I've recently acquired and set aside until now, such as a foldable water-resistant baseball cap, portable unisex urinal bags, and a LifeStraw personal water filter.
Now, I still need to do some thorough research and put together a comprehensive list of Everyday Carry items I think should go into this bag. But based on what's been transferred from these two older bags, I think I have a pretty good foundation on which to build on.

IEMA: First-Ever America's PrepareAthon! To Be Held On April 30
There's no better time than right now to prepare for those nasty spring-early summer storms we get on a regular basis here in the Chicago area and elsewhere in the state, in addition to other severe weather events that might descend upon us in the coming twelve months. To help spur Illinoisans into action, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency issued a press release yesterday regarding a nationwide emergency preparedness event that's scheduled to take place a week from today. From the release:
IEMA Encourages Participation in 'America's PrepareAthon!' on April 30
First National Day of Action Expected to Draw Millions of Participants
SPRINGFIELD – On April 30, millions of people are expected to take part in the first-ever America's PrepareAthon!, a national day for preparedness actions sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and local emergency management agencies throughout the state are encouraging individuals, families, businesses, schools, community organizations and others to be part of the event by participating in a preparedness activity related to tornadoes or floods.
For its part, IEMA will conduct a tornado drill for 120 employees in its largest workplace in Springfield. The five-story building houses more than half of the agency's employees and was damaged when tornadoes struck Springfield on March 12, 2006. IEMA will conduct tornado drills at its other facilities at later dates to ensure employee preparedness.
"Tornadoes and floods are two hazards we know well in Illinois," said IEMA Director Jonathon Monken. "But just recognizing these hazards isn't enough. It's even more important to take action to prepare for those hazards. The national day of action on April 30 provides an excellent opportunity for people, businesses, schools and others to practice their plans."
America's PrepareAthon! is a new nationwide, community-based campaign for action to increase emergency preparedness and resilience through hazard-specific drills, group discussions and exercises conducted twice a year. Nearly five million people already are registered to participate in the April 30 national day of action, which will focus on four specific hazards: floods, tornadoes, wildfires and hurricanes. Since wildfires and hurricanes aren't major hazards in Illinois, state activities will focus on floods and tornadoes.
The fall PrepareAthon! national day of action is set for September 30 and will focus on earthquakes, hazardous materials, pandemic flu and severe winter weather.
Anyone interested in participating in America's PrepareAthon! can register on FEMA's website at www.fema.gov. The site includes informational resources to help plan and conduct events.
Storm rolling into my old Chicago NW side neighborhood

Go-To Gear For When The Lights Go Out
Last Friday night, my girlfriend and I lost power at our place in the Chicago suburbs.
It's not like there was a storm going on. Not even a breeze from what I could tell. The electricty just went sayonara without any warning.
Rather than freak out- this subdivision sure is dark without any lights (the same holds true even with light )- I did what I usually do when an event like this happens nowadays:
Bust out some emergency gear.
I recently realized that I've never really gone into detail about the items I use when the lights go out. So, I'll talk about them this afternoon, assuming a scenario where I lose power at night.
The first item I grab in such a situation is my Princeton Tec Fuel Headlamp, Black, which I picked up from the local Cabelas a few years back. From the Princeton Tec website:
When applied well, technology should be simple. Such is the case with the innovative Fuel headlamp – designed to meet the widest range of applications while remaining small, lightweight and robust. With all of the touch points of the product being considered, the Fuel's smart design fulfills technology's promise of actually making our lives easier.
What could be better than a light that weighs only 78g with 70 lumens of brightness and 146 hours of burn time? A light that also has an asymmetrical single arm bracket that makes directing the light effortless and reliable; a large, easy to find push button switch and a virtually bulletproof, easy access battery door that protects the 3AAAs and its electronics. Yea.. that's pretty much it.
Simple. Perfect. Fuel.
I never owned a headlamp until I learned how handy it was for Fernando "FerFAL" Aguirre during the economic collapse in Argentina. I love it. I even bought one for my Dad and the "super" at my old apartment building before I moved ($20.16 @ Amazon.com as I type this).
As soon as I get my hands on the headlamp, I grab two more "essentials" right away- a battery-powered LED lantern and dual-power (AC/batteries) portable fan.
The Coleman Twin High Power LED Lantern was another Cabelas purchase from a couple of years ago. From the Coleman website:
Enjoy the outdoors in full, bright light with the Coleman® Twin High Performance LED Lantern. Ultra-bright at 580 lumens, this lantern lets you see far and wide while four Cree® LEDs, which never need to be replaced, provide effective, efficient, energy-saving light when you need it. With seven brightness settings that range from high to ultra-low, you'll have just the right amount of light. A long runtime—100 hours on ultra-low and 10 hours on high—will have you back home before you need fresh batteries. Its water-resistant construction delivers reliable output, even in wet and windy conditions, and its base unscrews for quick access to the battery chamber so you can change them virtually anywhere, anytime. Powered by 8 D-cell batteries, come out of the dark with the Coleman® Twin High Performance LED Lantern.
-Eight brightness settings ranging from high to ultra-low
-580 incredibly bright lumens on high
-52-ft. (15.85 m) beam distance on high
-Up to 10 hours runtime on high setting
-Up to 100 hours runtime on low setting
-Powered by eight D-cell batteries (sold separately)
-Four lifetime Cree® LEDs never needs replacing
-Stays cool while running
-Water resistant against rain and splashing water
-5-year limited warranty
Boy is this thing bright- even on lower settings! I had it lit in the master bedroom Friday and anyone passing by might have easily thought we didn't lose power. I've run this lantern several times since it was purchased for short durations, and the "D" batteries that I installed a couple of years ago are still going strong (had to check for battery leakage as soon as I typed that- I'm good). I like it so much I'm planning on buying one for my parents ($56.99 @ Amazon.com as I type this).
"Essential":O2COOL Portable Fan and Coleman LED Lantern
The other "essential" I grab is a dual-power (AC/batteries) portable fan from Chicago-based O2COOL. The model I picked up from a local Kmart a couple of years ago (#1071) looks to be discontinued. However, its successor, O2COOL NEW 10″ Battery Operated Fan with Adapter (Model# FD10002A), certainly looks just as capable judging by Amazon.com reviews. From the O2COOL website:
Features Include:
Dual Power sources: Plug-in with the AC adapter (included) or use 6 D-Cell batteries (not included)
Powerful 2 speed 10-inch blade.
Convenient built-in handle.
Compact design makes it great for travel; easy to carry and store.
Perfect for office and home.
Up to 40 hours of battery life.
The portable fan does a great job of cooling off an individual and circulating air around a small room for its compact size. The O2COOL comes out every time the lantern does. And like the Coleman, I've used it several times for short durations since its purchase, with the original 4 "D" batteries I put in it still working strong. I plan on buying more O2COOL dual-power portable fans, as Chicago summers can be brutal ($20.99 @ Amazon.com as I type this).
I usually bust out other items, like an emergency weather radio or portable DVD player- but not before that other gear.
While my girlfriend and I have managed to get by with the above, I am looking at acquiring more items for when the lights go out, such as additional emergency lighting, an emergency weather radio with more capabilities, and another portable dual-power fan. More about that in a future "Project Prepper" post though.
In the meantime, readers- care to share the "essential" gear you like to use when the lights go out?
I, for one, would love to hear what your go-to items are.

Chicago-Area Lakes Hit By Bad Fish Kill
A number of Chicago-area preppers/survivalists might be planning to fish the local lakes to supplement their diet should TSHTF.
If that's the case, be advised of the following, which I read in a weekly roundup section in my Sunday Chicago Tribune:
Fish kill worse than usual, expert says
Another legacy of the harsh winter: The fish kill in small lakes around the area was worse than what one state fisheries official said he'd seen in 34 years on the job.
Here's hoping this won't jeopardize my shot at landing a big pike or largemouth at my family's place in southeastern Wisconsin this summer/fall…

USDA: Food Prices Expected To Rise 2.5 To 3.5 Percent In 2014
It's not only prices at the pump that are going up these days where I live.
From what I've seen, food prices keep rising as well (while portions continue to shrink).
And it looks to continue that way in 2014. Ros Krasny reported on the Reuters website Tuesday:
U.S. food prices are expected to rise more rapidly this year after a very tame 2013, led by gains in beef, poultry and egg prices, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Tuesday.
The food price inflation outlook assumes normal weather, the USDA said, adding that the California drought poses a risk of bigger increases in many food categories, and that high supermarket prices for beef are "here to stay."
Various measures, including overall food, food-at-home and food-away-from-home prices, are expected to rise by 2.5 to 3.5 percent in 2014. The consumer price index for all food prices rose by 1.4 percent in 2013…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
Krasny added that according to the USDA, prices at the supermarket have risen by an average of 2.8 percent annually since 1990.
I blogged about potential avenues for saving in this area back on March 10, 2011, and March 23, 2013.
Seeing that a landscaper is scheduled to stop by tomorrow, now's as good a time as any to formulate a plan for fighting higher food costs while moving towards food self-sufficiency here in the Chicago suburbs. I'll fill you in on what I've come up with in a future "Project Prepper" post (starting up again next week).

July 2012, 2013 Solar Superstorms Could Have Resulted In Technological Disasters On Earth
Back on December 11, 2013, I blogged about a solar "superstorm" that almost pummeled the Earth in July 2012. A December 9 press release from University of Colorado-Boulder Professor Daniel Baker, a solar scientist and the director of CU-Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, said:
A massive ejection of material from the sun initially traveling at over 7 million miles per hour that narrowly missed Earth last year is an event solar scientists hope will open the eyes of policymakers regarding the impacts and mitigation of severe space weather, says a University of Colorado Boulder professor.
The coronal mass ejection, or CME, event was likely more powerful than the famous Carrington storm of 1859, when the sun blasted Earth's atmosphere hard enough twice to light up the sky from the North Pole to Central America and allowed New Englanders to read their newspapers at night by aurora light, said CU-Boulder Professor Daniel Baker. Had it hit Earth, the July 2012 event likely would have created a technological disaster by short-circuiting satellites, power grids, ground communication equipment and even threatening the health of astronauts and aircraft crews, he said…
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
Well, there's been more analysis of that July 2012 CME event recently. From the FOX News website yesterday:
Earth dodged one of the most massive magnetic solar bursts ever on July 23, 2012, scientists with the University of California, Berkeley revealed on Wednesday — saving the planet from widespread havoc.
"Had it hit Earth, it probably would have been like the big one in 1859, but the effect today, with our modern technologies, would have been tremendous," UC Berkeley research physicist Janet G. Luhmann said in a press release.
The 2012 massive magnetic cloud sped through space at over 1,200 miles per second, four times faster than a typical burst of solar power.
According to researchers, had the quick succession of coronal mass ejections (CMEs)– the most intense kind of solar eruptions — come nine days earlier, they would have hit Earth, potentially disabled satellites and GPS, and even affected the electrical grid.
A study from last year revealed that a solar storm like the one Earth narrowly avoided could have cost up to $2.6 trillion in damages. A similar event in March 1989 caused Canada's Hydro-Quebec power grid to collapse and left six million people with no electricity for nine hours.
"The cost of an extreme space weather event, if it hits Earth, could reach trillions of dollars with a potential recovery time of 4-10 years," professor at China's State Key Laboratory of Space Weather Ying D. Liu warned in a press release. "Therefore, it is paramount to the security and economic interest of the modern society to understand solar superstorms."
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
Another potential technological disaster was narrowly avoided just a year later in July 2013. I wrote on August 1:
Here's something you probably won't hear in the mainstream media:
The Earth just missed being hit by a coronal mass ejection two weeks ago…
Paul Bedard reported in the "Washington Secrets" section of the Washington Examiner website last night:
The earth barely missed taking a massive solar punch in the teeth two weeks ago, an "electromagnetic pulse" so big that it could have knocked out power, cars and iPhones throughout the United States.
Two EMP experts told Secrets that the EMP flashed through earth's typical orbit around the sun about two weeks before the planet got there.
"The world escaped an EMP catastrophe," said Henry Cooper, who led strategic arms negotiations with the Soviet Union under President Reagan, and who now heads High Frontier, a group pushing for missile defense.
"There had been a near miss about two weeks ago, a Carrington-class coronal mass ejection crossed the orbit of the Earth and basically just missed us," said Peter Vincent Pry, who served on the Congressional EMP Threat Commission from 2001-2008. He was referring to the 1859 EMP named after astronomer Richard Carrington that melted telegraph lines in Europe and North America.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
I'm guessing solar superstorms don't really register that much on the radar of most Americans. However, seeing how technologically dependent our society is these days, the potential effects of coronal mass ejections worry me considerably, and have so for some time.

MarketWatch On Jim Rogers: 'Signs Are Suggesting He's Right In His Gloomy Prognostication On Food Supplies'
I started blogging about investor, author, and financial commentator Jim Rogers back in the summer 2007, right after launching Boom2Bust.com, "The Most Hated Blog On Wall Street." Rogers- who correctly called the commodities rally in 1999- was already talking up agriculture as a great investment opportunity seven years ago.
Time and time again on this blog, I've noted how bullish the former investing partner of George Soros is about the sector.
And yesterday, the financial website MarketWatch concluded the Singapore-based investor might be on to something.
From Karen Friar on The Tell blog:
What makes today's comments more pointed is that signs are suggesting he's right in his gloomy prognostication on food supplies.
Severe weather of different kinds, production constraints and other factors are pushing up prices of beef, bread and other staples (read: 10 foods eating into your budget). Plus, California — the U.S.'s agricultural heartland — won't get any irrigation water this summer, despite being gripped by a drought. That should end up hitting consumer wallets, too. And even the crisis in Ukraine could end up putting pressure on grain markets…
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
Naysayers love to bash Mr. Rogers and his investment predictions, trying to "call the game while it's still in the early innings" (the same happens to fellow "crash prophets" Marc Faber and Peter Schiff- just look at the CNBC.com comments section underneath an article written about any one of the three). But I remember a British publication analyzing the outcome of his investing calls after he made that gloomy British pound forecast a few years back, and determining that more often than not Rogers is correct.
Chalk another one up for the CEO of Rogers Holdings and Beeland Interests, Inc.? I think it's a little too early still to give Rogers full credit, but based on his track record I have a feeling he'll get this agriculture call right too.

Dryer Vent Cleaning reviews in Laurel
Overall, It was a great experience. The technician was very professional and informative. When they arrived they went straight to work and were very quick and efficient."
The technicians were on time and it did not take a long time to clean dryer vent (approx. 15-20 mins). However, I wished that more cleaning up was done after all of the lint was removed from vent and had to call them back due to ducts were not re-taped very well. I must state that when I called about that issue, they were very courteous and came back out with-in 24 hours."
I just purchased a townhouse on a short sale. Home inspector had pointed out dirty furnace, coils, vents, returns and suggested we have everything cleaned prior to using AC for first time. I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal from Air Wiz to clean all ducts, vents and returns for $299. Knowledgable manager discussed with me on the pphone the additional charges for chemically cleaning the furnace and coils + cleaning the dryer vent. I then knew at the time I made the appointment that the total charge would be $599. This was consistent with what my home inspector and real estate agent had predicted that I would pay. 2 "
Birds had made a home in dryer vent work. When I began to replace the broken vent, I found remnants of bird nesting that had totally blocked vent. I remove a section that had to be replaced. At this point I called for help. Had remaining duct work cleaned and the section that I removed replaced and new cap and animal cage installed.
We are very happy with the service. Accumulated lint was pushed out of the vent to the exterior yard and then carefully cleaned up. Very impressed with detail.
There were two guys who did the work. They explained things to me as they did them, and showed me how dirty the vents were, both by looking down the main intake and the duct filter at the heat exchanger. It was clear the ducts needed cleaning very badly! They also let me know that duct cleaning should be performed every 5-6 years. They were as quiet as you could be when operating the necessary equipment and left NO mess. Very professional!
I am very satisfied with house fire. They also cleaned and inspected my chimney. When I called the company the operator was very nice and explained the entire process and the job was performed exactly in the way she explained. The technicians did a thorough inspection and made few recommendations regarding the indoor home quality.
I purchased a Groupon and had to have my money refunded because of the poor quality and service. The first appointment was cancelled with one business day's notice. The excuse was that they wouldn't be in my area that day. Why set the appointment if you won't be in the area. The second appointment they never showed up and did not call to notify me. The third appointment, they finally came but spent about 5 minutes looking in my vents with a flashlight and said they looked clean. The dryer vent did not get touched. The furnace was only vacuumed. This was a newly purchased house that had been vacant for several years. I wanted my ducts cleaned, especially since I had already found dead mice in them. The total appointment lasted less than 10 minutes.
We think we're the best, and we can prove it.
Try an annual plan and if you want to cancel in your first year, we'll refund you 110%

According to an old Norwegian legend the hole was made by the troll Hestmannen while he was chasing the beautiful girl Lekamoyo. As Hestmannen realized that he would not be able to catch the girl, he raised his bow and released an arrow that aimed for her heart. The king of Somnafjellet, Skarsfjellsgubben, saw this and threw his hat in front of the arrow to stop it. The arrow went through the hat and fell into the sea along with the hat. At this very moment the sun rose and everything truned into stone. This is the legend of how the hole in the mountain Torghatten was made.

SUMMERLAND–It may not be much of a surprise but it is a huge disappointment for opponents of a controversial land swap proposal in Summerland.
In front of a packed council chamber Monday evening, the Mayor and Council voted in favour of removing 80 hectares of some of the town's best farmland from the Agricultural Land Reserve.
In a 4-1 vote council adopted the proposal that would see the 80 hectares taken out of the ALR, replaced with 90 hectares of land further away in the Summerland Hills.
There have been a number of town hall meetings and public hearings on this issue where the majority of residents voiced opposition to the land swap.
3000 people, including 15 hundred Summerlanders signed the 'Stop the Swap' petition.
Most of Monday's standing room only crowd told Global News that they felt like council did not listen to the community and instead followed it's own agenda.
This new bylaw, which is part of Summerland's proposed new Urban Growth Plan, will now have to be approved by the Agricultural Land Commission and will come before council once more for final adoption.

"First, we would like to express how grateful we are to the men and women of the Coast Guard, California Air National Guard and Navy who rescued our family, especially the pararescuemen and crew of USS Vandegrift. We are very thankful to be safe and well. We also appreciate all the concern, thoughts and prayers of everyone back home for the health of our daughter Lyra. She is doing well now, and her medical condition continues to improve."
"We understand there are those who question our decision to sail with our family, but please know that this is how our family has lived for seven years, and when we departed on this journey more than a year ago, we were then and remain today confident that we prepared as well as any sailing crew could. The ocean is one of the greatest forces of nature, and it always has the potential to overcome those who live on or near it. We are proud of our choices and our preparation, and while we are disappointed that we lost our sailboat and our home, we remain grateful for those who came to our aid and those family and friends who continue to encourage and support us."

*London Diary*
Here is a post about my very short journey to London with my husband, it was intense...literally. Got to meet some amazing friends...My husband and I did not have an agenda so we really just went with the flow, and enjoyed the present moment, I mean we went all the way to London and decided to go bowling hahah but I was so much fun :)
I did not take my laptop or my pro camera, was really on a vacay mode, so all these pictures were taken with my iphone. Enjoy... I will write something at the end about some places I would recommend :)
