"Not a Drill: SETI Is Investigating a Possible Extraterrestrial Signal From Deep Space" 

"An international team of scientists from the Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) are investigating mysterious signal spikes emitting from a 6.3-billion-year-old star in the constellation Hercules–95 light years away from Earth. The implications are extraordinary and point to the possibility of a civilization far more advanced than our own. The unusual signal was originally detected on May 15, 2015 by the Russian Academy of Science-operated RATAN-600 radio telescope in Zelenchukskaya, Russia but was kept secret from the international community. Interstellar space reporter  Paul Gilster broke the story after the researchers quietly circulated a paper announcing the detection of “a strong signal in the direction of HD164595.” The mysterious star’s designation is HD164595 and it’s considered to be sun-like in nature with a nearly identical metallic composition to our own star. So far, a single Neptune-like (but warmer) planet has been discovered in its orbit–HD 164595 b. But as Gilster explained, “there could, of course, be other planets still undetected in this system."

Well,

these guys have it all wrong.

Answering Those Questions That You Never Knew You Wanted To Ask

"Have you ever wanted to paint yourself blue & run through the heather?"

"Brandish a big bronze sword & shout imprecations at pesky Roman legionaries?"

"Of course you have!"

"And now you can!"

This Iinstructable will detail the process of making a beautiful bronze Ewart Park leaf-shaped through gathering materials, making a blank,creating a mold, melting the metal, and pouring the sword. There are several files included that will make the blank easier for you to make, as well as links to outside sources for instruction not quite in the scope of this instructable and for purchasing hard-to-find resources. (eg. constructing a cheap metal-melting forge, buying delft clay/oil sand) Access to basic woodworking tools and the ability to use them is assumed, but pretty much everything else involved can be made or figured out.

"Did you just start watching

Doctor Who on BBC America

 and you now have thousands of questions to know what is going on?" 

"You need

The Tardis Library."

"Welcome To The Library!" Thanks for stopping by. The TARDIS Library is here to give you the facts on 2 things - Police Boxes of the 20th Century and TARDISes (of all ages...) Using the navigation links which feature on all pages of the site you should be able to find all sorts of treasures, including juicy insider's info on TARDISes from Anthony Sibley and a full history of the real-life Police Box as researched, written and preserved for many years by Pete Darrington.

No One Has Commented As Yet

Today is Sunday.

Traditionally,

the day which my Blog is viewed the least amount of times.

(Not Actually My Numbers.)

I don't mind.

Over the last couple of years,

Sunday

has been pretty consistent on having the least amount of viewership.

This means,

it is not because that the

NFL Football Season 

is upon us.

It means that people are actually spending time with

Family & Friends.

Doing stuff around their houses.

Or going to a movie.

Things,

that if you have a job

or go to school during the week,

most often,

you don't have the time to do them.

Keep It Up.

Spending time with loved ones

and spending time doing the things you love,

are what the

Weekends

are made for.

I would also like to say,

I got back out there today.

Hiking

one of the many

Trails in Southern California,

with one of my daughters

and my grandson.

 

Yes,

it does mean I'm

Up & Running

again in good health.

If you have read some of my Posts,

when I first came back from being ill,

you might have seen in my words

A Bitterness & A Grouchiness.

Sorry about that.

I guess not breathing can put some people in a bad mood.

It does to me!

I'll try not to let it come out in my writing again.

Yellow Headed Blackbirds. The Most Evilest Birds Known!

   "Mom, Dad, what are you doing here? Oh, you've brought my no-good, no-longer best friend Jarrod with you. What are you all doing here?"
   Jerome's mother speaks first.
   "Son, can't you see what you are doing to yourself? You don't go to work, you don't come over to the house, and you never leave your apartment. What is going on?"
   "Do you see my potted tree on the patio over there? Those are Yellow Headed Blackbirds. They are the most evilest of birds known to man. They kill other birds for sport, they'll even gang up on larger prey, like mammals, and peck away until they have killed it." The agitated Jerome breaths heavily, then continues. "I can't leave my apartment because as soon as I do, I'll be attacked by them! Because I have made it my cause to annihilate them all!"

   "Do you hear yourself son." This time Jerome's father speaks up. "You're talking madness here. We just want what is best for you. We just want you to come home with us for awhile so we can take care of you."
   "Dad, I'll be putting you and Mom into danger."
   Now Jarrod butts in.
   "Jerry, why don't you listen to your parents. If what you say is true, hiding out at their house for a few days might breakup the blackbirds who are watching you. Maybe they'll loose track of you."
   "I don't know," say Jerome.
    "Jerome," his mother says sternly. "I am your mother and how could you think I would want anything to happen to my son? Please, just come home for a few days so I can fatten you up."
   Jarrod adds, "I'll run out to the car ahead of you, make sure there are no birds around your parents car, and make sure the door is opened when you come running out."
   "Yeah, that might work. Yeah. Yeah, I'll do it."
   Jarrod runs over to the car, goes to the driver's side and gets in the car. From the front porch, all three can see Jarrod unlocking the passenger's side door.
   "Come on son, go for it." His father says.
   Jerome runs from his front door, past his parents, reaching their car in a matter of minutes. As soon as he reaches for the door handle, Jarrod locks the door. A stunned Jerome turns around and sees that his parents haven't left the front porch of his apartment.
   "Mom, Dad, what is going on?"
   His Mother speaks up.
   "It is the only way son, it is the only way."
   In seconds, a thousand Yellow Heads descend upon him, with one extra large bird coming from behind the car to snip his Achilles's tendon on his left leg, crippling him from running away. Each bird pecks away at clothing, then skin, then the insides of Jerome until a grayish stack of bones lie once where a man stood.
   "Its the only way son." Says his father, as the large Yellow Head lands on his shoulder and watches the proceedings with Jerome's parents.

Be Kind To Everyone

 

I'll Be Seeing You

 

I'll Be Saving $3,800.00 Dollars A Year By Doing These Things

I'm going to make this short

and sweet tonight.

Do you really need,

what some people call a

Liberal Pundit,

telling you how to save money?

No,

but I am going to do it anyways.

None of these little tricks I am doing are going to make you rich,

but if you have the time,

why not save money where you can.

1st My Coke Rewards

Under each Two Liter Bottle Cap and in every Twelve or Twenty-Four Pack Twelve Ounce Can's there is a code. You sign up to their website, save as many points as you can by entering these codes, and you'll be able to turn them in for prizes or raffles. I've gotten headphones for my daughter, an outside speaker for a cell phone, $30.00 in e-gift cards for Walmart for free, and $20.00 in e-gift cards for Target. They have a lot more selection then what I am Posting here.

2nd Bing Rewards

By signing up with the Bing Search engine, they also have reward points where you can cash them in for prices. I personally save up enough points so I can get 12 months free of Xbox Live for my son. I haven't paid the $50.00 a year free for Xbox Live a couple of years now.

3rd Walmart Savings Catcher

You download a mobile app to your Android or iPhone, take a picture of your receipt from the purchases you made at Walmart, and the app compares prices from local stores to see if you got the lowest price in town. I've been using it for about three weeks now and have received about $19.00 back in savings. You are aloud to receive $600.00 a year.

4th I don't have a link here to show you what I mean, so I'll explain it. There are no more loyalties between customer and a business. If you notice, (I'll use cell phone companies as an example), these companies that are always offering great deals to new customers, knowing that most people, after they have signed up, will not leave their services for at least 5 years. (This is based on information I was given when I worked for a certain service company.) And if they can sign you in on a two year agreement over and over, it is more like tens years. Because you will get caught up in their routine of upgrading your phone. I know people who change cell phone companies every two years to get the best deal around. And now that you can keep the same phone number from company to company, there is no reason not to do this. I just went from paying over $800.00 for my Cable Service, Home Phone, Internet, 3 Cell Phones, and 2 Tablets to paying, with Tax, $497.00 for Satellite TV with the NFL Sunday Ticket, Home Phone, Internet, 4 Cell Phones, 2 Tablets and a Home Security Monitoring System.

And that price is set for

Two Years!

I'll take saving

$300 A Month

over loyalty to any company making millions that will not give back to their long time customer base.

This is,

I Know I Am Not Getting Rich By These Techniques,

But If My Calculations Are Correct,

I'll Be Saving $3,800.00 Dollars A Year By Doing Them,

Dropping Out Had Nothing To Do With Homework

Texas Teacher Creates No Homework Policy — and Parents Are Loving It!

by Diana Bruk for Good Housekeeping on MSN.com

"On August 16th, Samantha Gallagher of Fort Worth, Texas, shared a note that her daughter, Brooke, brought home from her teacher, Mrs. Brandy Young. The note announced that Mrs. Young would no longer be formally assigning homework, and that the only homework that students would have would consist of whatever they did not finish during class. The response on Reddit has been encouraging, with many users saying they wished this had been the policy back in their day. I have this vivid memory of being in kindergarten and the teacher passing out a homework assignment that was something like practicing writing a letter of the alphabet in upper and lower case inside dotted lines, one user wrote. I just started doing it when it got put on my table in front of me, and then the teacher took it and gave me a new one and said Class, can you guys tell him what kind of work this is supposed to be? and then like half the class in unison goes "HOMEWORK!" So lame."

I agree hundred percent with this

Teacher.

When I went to school,

I never brought a book home

or homework home up until I graduated from

High School.

My

Senior

year in

High School,

I only had a half a day of school because I had so many credits already accumulated.

And I was accepted into

Four Different Colleges.

That is why I always tell people who think they are so smart,

"I dropped out of more colleges then you'll ever attend!"

And The Child They Love

   When you have kids, they all grow up differently.
   I had one daughter, my first, who I had to wrap my arms around to keep her from running away or squirming when she got her vaccination shots as a child.
   Then my fourth daughter would just sit there and stare as a nurse put the needle into her arm. Never flinching.
   So when I recently came back from my vacation from Texas, I thought nothing of it when my grandson took out his mason jar of new spiders he had captured.
   You see, he isn't afraid of any spider on Earth.
   When his Aunts ask him to squish a spider they see, he won't do it. He will take out a mason jar, capture it, then let it go free outside.
   Driving, I pretended I saw what he was showing me with a quick glance over my shoulder since he was sitting in his booster seat in the back. After that, I forgot all about it.
   It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago, that I found out exactly what he was trying to show me. I know he feeds his spiders dead ants. He will kill those, but I never realized how many spiders he was feeding.
   The nightmare happened when we had a forced entry by an escaped convict one night.
   The convict grabbed my grandson at knife point and told me that if the police come to the door, I had better find a way to get rid of them, or he would die!
   It just so happens a few days before, the community mailbox sitting in front of our house was broken into. I called the police about the incident and a Sheriff came to my door for a statement. We got along fine, shook hands when he departed, and I never expected to see him again. He was the officer who came to my door asking if I had heard or seen anything suspicious relating to an escaped convict.
   We got along so well before that when I said I hadn't, he took my word for it and went on to the next house.
   That is when I heard a scream. Not from my grandson, it was from the intruder.
   The hand he held the knife with? It was covered with about fifty spiders. Another fifty or so were crawling all over his body.
   He screamed again and pleaded for me to call back the officer, so I did.
   I found out later, that this felon, would never be able to have children of his own in his life, because of all the poison released inside his body that day.
   In fact, he is lucky to still be alive. The hand which held the knife to my grandson's throat, he lost part of that arm, from the elbow on down.
   The police have no way of explaining what happened. But a local college professor claimed that he knew the answer.
   The felon had probably hidden in some nearby bushes and when he had entered my home unlawfully, the spiders were finally taking action against him for invading those bushes.
   But I know the truth.
   My grandson now has five of those glass habitats for insects and I let him collect as many ants and other bugs as he can, as feeders.
   I don't need a handgun in my house and worry about break-ins anymore. I have over two-hundred brown recluse spiders living in my home and the child they love.

This is,

If You Do Not Believe Me,

Piss Off My Grandson Someday,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

The Space Elevator

Not intentionally staying on the same theme as yesterday,

but this is such great news if you are a

Brainiac,

Geek,

Nerd,

or somewhat of a

Brainiac,

Geek,

or

NASA,

those wonderful people who use

Rocket Propulsion

to pollute our atmosphere by sending inefficient rockets up into

Space,

has decided to

"Provide easy public access to the peer-reviewed papers resulting from NASA-funded research. Beginning with research funded in 2016, all NASA-funded authors and co-authors (both civil servant and non-civil servant) will be required to deposit copies of their peer-reviewed scientific publications and associated data into NASA’s publication repository called NASA PubSpace.  This EXCLUDES patents, publications that contain material governed by personal privacy, export control, proprietary restrictions, or national security law or regulations. NASA PubSpace is part of PubMed Central (PMC) which is managed by the NIH. You can now search NASA related articles archived in PMC at NASA PubSpace. PubSpace will be fully functional Fall of 2016."

Maybe now I will be able to understand why

Konstantin Tsiolkovsky's

Space Elevator,

first published in 1895

and made famous by

Arthur C. Clarke's

book

"The Fountains of Paradise"

is not a priority with them? 

If everything that I have

heard,

read,

or seen on

documentaries,

are true,

given that the new

Nano-Technologies

are correct in strength estimates

and durability,

we could have a pollutant free ride to the

Heavens

within twenty to twenty-five years!

Wait,

that was the

Tower of Babel.

OK,

we could have a pollutant free ride into

 Space!

It would also open up the opportunity for the average

Joe and Josephine

to go into

Space.

Because nobody can afford to send the public

and a

Billion Dollars

in

Rocket Propulsion

into

Space

each year,

forever!

"Great American Total Solar Eclipse," Just 1 Year Away!

by Joe Rao, SPACE.com Skywatching Columnist on MSN.com
"Aug. 21, 2017, is a red-letter day for eclipse enthusiasts. On that date, the sun will be partially eclipsed over an immense area that includes all of North America, the northern third of South America, much of the eastern Pacific Ocean (including the Hawaiian Islands), virtually all of the north Atlantic Ocean and a slice of western Europe. For much of the United States, at least 80 percent of the sun's diameter will be eclipsed by the passing new moon. Some eclipse chasers have billed it as the Great American Total Solar Eclipse. Because the moon's shadow will be moving at a tremendous speed, totality will not last very long in any one place. The duration of the total phase is always longest along the center of the shadow's path; as one moves away from the center, the duration of totality time decreases, becoming zero along the path's edges. [Solar Eclipses: An Observer's Guide (Infographic)]"

I personally was looking forward to this

Eclipse

since a really good friend of mine,

Jeffery Keyes

and I planned a vacation around the event almost four years ago.

Sadly,

he won't be making the trip since he passed away a few years ago,

but I am still planning on going in his honor.

"Building Star Trek" Documentary Shows Efforts to Save Original Enterprise Model

by Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor

"A new Smithsonian Channel special gives Trekkies an unprecedented view of the efforts to save the USS Enterprise from certain death. The documentary shows museum officials fighting against decades of damages to fix the 11-foot (3.4 meters) "Star Trek" ship model, used in filming the original series, before putting the ship on display. In between exclusive clips at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, the documentary — called "Building Star Trek" — also shows the construction of a new "Star Trek" exhibit at the EMP Museum in Seattle, featuring props used in the original series. The special airs Sept. 4, just four days before the 50-year anniversary of the first broadcast of "Star Trek." Besides showcasing awesome props, the show has inspired nearly two generations of scientific innovation, the documentary reveals. The 2-hour special also profiles a new generation of engineers and scientists who are making 'Star Trek's' visionary technology real, pushing the boundaries of physics with inventions first conceived on the iconic series: warp drives, medical tricorders, cloaking devices and tractor beams, Smithsonian representatives said in a statement."

Being a

Trekkie

myself,

any new insights into the original

TV Show

will be very entertaining.

I hope I have alerted other

Trekkies

to the upcoming show.

I just thought of something interesting.

I often call myself a

Whovian

since I am a big

Doctor Who

fan.

I also call myself a

Trekkie

since I am a big

Star Trek

fan.

What do

Star Wars

Warrians?

“Star Trek?” I asked her. “Really?”
“What?” she demanded, bending unnaturally black eyebrows together.
“There are two kinds of people in the universe, Molly,” I said. “Star Trek fans and Star Wars fans. This is shocking.”
She sniffed. “This is the post-nerd-closet world, Harry. It’s okay to like both.”
“Blasphemy and lies,” I said.”

Have A Laugh On Me

Recently,
I went into one of those discount massage parlors.

It turned out to be self serve!

Then I met this hooker on a street corner.

She told me she had a headache!

If it wasn't for the guy who just pick-pocketed me,

I'd have no sex life at all!

I blame it all on my upbringing when I was a child.

When I took my first step,
my Dad tripped me!

When I was born,
the doctor slapped my Mom!

Then,
I think I was still a virgin at the age of thirty-three,

I was making love to this girl I was dating
and she started crying.

I asked,
"Are you going to hate yourself in the morning?"

She said,
"No, I hate myself now!"

One night I thought I was going to get really lucky.

I had these two girls in my car
and they both scream at the same time,
"Stop here!"

Right next to the International House of Pancakes was a Motel 6.

We went inside,
and I had to pay for two
"Rooty Tooty Fresh N Fruity"
meals!

Then I started dating this girl who was half-black.

She dumped me because she said I was prejudiced.

In a sweet moment,
I called her half-white!

When I got married,
I asked my wife if I could give her a Goodnight kiss on her cheek.

She bent over!

Still,
I believe,
in this World,
every person has a soul mate.

And if I ever find mine,
my wife will kill her!

I did meet a famous Politician once.

I met the Surgeon General,
and he offered me a cigarette!

People say I look a lot younger than I really am.

That's because I act so immature!

N = R* × fp × ne × fl × fi × fc × L

While lying on my couch,

sucking in pure oxygen from my

"Invacare Platinum XL Oxygen Concentrator,"

(No Smoking Please)

from the wonderful people at

Apria Healthcare,

I started thinking about the

"Drake Equation."  

The Drake Equation,

written I believe in 1961,

is a probability equation to arrive at an estimated number of active

and communicative

Extraterrestrial Civilizations

in the

Milky Way Galaxy.

Back in the early 1960's the group that

Dr. Frank Drake

was working with estimated that there could be as many as

50,000 Planets

in the

Milky Way

that had

Intelligent Communicative Extraterrestrial Life.

That was still in the early days of

Radio Astronomy

and a long before

SETI.

In even in those early days,

50,000 Planets

seemed like a lot of possible

Planets

for

Intelligent Life.

What came to my mind was,

every story has a

Beginning,

Middle,

and an

End.

The Drake Equation

takes only into account the

Middle Possibility.

What if

Humans

are the very

First Intelligent Life

in the

Milky Way?

Or,

even worse,

what if we are the

Last Intelligent Life?

That still bodes to the question

"Are We Alone?"

This is,

Does Not Mean That Other Galaxies Do Not Have Intelligent Life,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

Cell-Phone,

you will see a

on the bottom of the page,
after all the stories I write,
where it says;

Click on that to truly get the full benefit of my

You will just have to expand the page to be able to read it on a cellphone.

Thanks again.

Me Going Back To Sleep

I said yesterday that I might not be up to writing everyday on my Blog yet.

Well,

I'm not.

I do want to thank

Glad to hear you're still with us Jim.

for his kind words.

I was wondering if anyone was going to wish me well

or if they thought this was some kind of joke I was playing.

It's no joke

and I don't feel up to writing tonight.

So here is a picture of my

Son,

Grandson,

and our chicken

Eggberta.

See if you can tell who is who?

This is,

Me Going Back To Sleep,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”
- Robert A. Heinlein -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
