Were you up late to see any of this overhead?

http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/2...hawaiian-skies

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) -
Many residents across the state observed unusual streaks of light or a
€œfireball€� over Hawaiian skies late Sunday night, raising questions
about what it could possibly be.

People from Kona to Oahu's North Shore thought it was a meteor or
government experiment. Turns out, it was just junk. Space junk.

An abandoned Russian spy satellite -- the Cosmos 1315 -- which launched
in 1981 fell to earth, burning up as it did.

"When it starts to re-enter the atmosphere its going about 18,000 miles
an hour," says University of Hawaii astronomer Richard Wainscoat, "A lot
of it is going to get vaporized but if there are really big pieces then
some of them may make it down to the earth's surface."

Wainscoat actually missed the spectacular event.

"I'm pretty annoyed that I was asleep when this happened."

That sounds like a lot of fun. I missed that one. Somebody should try to make space fireworks that use the friction of the atmosphere to ignite colorful metallic salts way up high. Perhaps they could detonate small nukes. That would be just great.

Friggin' cool, but also a bit frightening!

Ever hear of HAARP?

They were doing something similar a couple of years ago.

Mostly, it's some kind of secret plan to utilize microwaves to create
death rays and radio shields and to control the weather. The government
is also conducting secrets experiments using contrails to control the
weather and test psychotropic drugs on the peoples of CA and WA. It's
all very hazy and mysterious but I think we can all agree that the
government is interested in controlling the weather. The country that
controls the weather controls the world!

I can not argue the theory, but who controlled Katrina?

And what ever happened to the infamous "woodpecker" signals?

Eh?

It's a mysterious world alright. We got something making a big racket
outside our house. It sounds like a cricket but not like any I've heard
before. What I see in my mind's eye is a guy about 6" tall operating a
jack hammer. That thing was going non-stop with cycles of 7 seconds on
and 3 seconds off. I'll check it out. If I find that little guy, he's
dead meat!

Bad news for sure.

I didn't know we had woodpeckers around here! Cool! I'm pretty sure it's
not a bird because that noise just doesn't stop. My guess is that
critter is sleeping, or whatever the heck birds do, during the night.

The hunt shall be arduous one but I shall bag this beast when the stars
are out!

Some of them are surprisingly nocturnal, and this has been full moon
time which really gets them going.

I recommend a fine gill net and one of those gazillion lumen Costco
spotlights.

Happy hunting!

Not every experiment turns out as expected.

Fascinating that you allude to it being a weather modification experiment.

The Canucks have been all over this for a while now:

http://www.globalresearch.ca/haarp-s...-warfare/20407

Others go so far as to claim that HAARP can and has been used for
weather modification, to cause earthquakes and tsunamis, to disrupt
global communications systems, and more.

Major aspects of the program are kept secret for alleged reasons of
“national security.” Yet there is no doubt that HAARP and
electromagnetic weapons capable of being used in warfare do exist.
According to the official HAARP website, “HAARP is a scientific endeavor
aimed at studying the properties and behavior of the ionosphere, with
particular emphasis on being able to understand and use it to enhance
communications and surveillance systems for both civilian and defense
purposes.” The ionosphere is the delicate upper layer of our atmosphere
which ranges from about 30 miles (50 km) to 600 miles (1,000 km) above
the surface of the Earth.

The HAARP website acknowledges that experiments are conducted which use
electromagnetic frequencies to fire pulsed, directed energy beams in
order to “temporarily excite a limited area of the ionosphere.” Some
scientists state that purposefully disturbing this sensitive layer could
have major and even disastrous consequences. Concerned HAARP researchers
like Dr. Michel Chossudovsky of the University of Ottawa and Alaska’s
Dr. Nick Begich (son of a US Congressman) present evidence suggesting
that these disturbances can even cause tsunamis and earthquakes.

The expedition was more or less a failure. When we reached the site, it was as if the sound was coming from everywhere. I had always suspected that the sound emanated from the dense patch that lay before us but it's impossible to say for sure. We reached a consensus that this "thing" was a large cricket of the most sonically persistent kind. In the end, all we could do was uproot an undesirable weed and take photos of a rather attractive plant for later identification.

Last night the sound was not to be heard. All was quiet. Could it be because we had disturbed the beast's lair? Perhaps it had moved on to escape the coming rains of the monsoon season. Hopefully, we shan't be hearing him for a long while.

This morning - the rains came.

Let's face it - if you shoot some high energy beams into the ionosphere, you're gonna find out things. You might even be able to use it as a defensive or offensive weapon. I doubt one would be able to control the weather though. That's too much like a scenario for a cheesy spy flick from the last 50 years.

Well shoot, there goes my elaborate woodpecker fantasy!

I have one other potential miscreant(s) to suggest - how about tiny tree
frogs?

Then again it resolved, so perhaps the rains will be the winner.

But we already do, cloud seeding in the western states is the big thing now:

https://www.hcn.org/articles/a-new-w...-seeding-study

If only clouds could be more efficient in bringing us rain, our water
supply woes might be lessened. Scientists have been working on how to
modify the natural process of precipitation since 1946, when chemist
Bernard Vonnegut (brother of Kurt Vonnegut) declared that injecting
clouds with silver iodide could change how they behave.

Since then, most Western states have tried cloud seeding at some point,
in the hopes of giving watersheds, farms and even ski resorts a boost.
And yet, there’s never really been a consensus in the scientific
community about how well cloud seeding truly works.

But last week, the 16-page summary of a long-awaited study that aims to
quantify the impact of cloud seeding was released, renewing debate about
whether the practice can in fact bring more rain and snow. The research
is a product of the $13-million-dollar Wyoming Weather Modification
Pilot Project to study snowfall over six winters in southern Wyoming,
and may be the most extensive study of cloud seeding yet.

The report suggests that, during ideal conditions, a seeded cloud will
produce between 5 to 15 percent more precipitation. The practice is a
viable way to augment existing water supplies, researchers say. They
also found that cloud seeding has a negligible environmental impact and
can be cost effective.

The coqui frog has gotten the Big Island folks up in arms. The state has been trying for over a decade to eradicate the coqui. The reality is that they're going to need a lot more money to do this. Burning the rainforests down would be a good idea.

These frogs are now establishing themselves on this island and people are scared to death. My guess is that they won't make as big an impact on this island which is a lot more urbanized than the Big Island. In the end, we'll make peace with this new resident to the islands - just as we have always done for the last 200 years.

I used to live right off one of the busiest streets in Honolulu. Kapiolani Blvd. It was the gateway to Waikiki and there would be frequent accidents. I loved living there - I'd hear an accident late at night, and I'd get up, check out the window, and then go back to sleep. I'd sleep like a baby in all that noise.* I'm not going to be bothered by a lousy frog. We got all these stinkin' chickens making a fuss around here anyway. Those ****ers make a big racket - lousy chickens!

That's an odd thing to say since you don't know a thing about me, Kapiolani Blvd, or the Moiliili-McCully area.

Kapiolani Blvd is the gateway to Waikiki. At one time, the section into Waikiki had the highest numbers of accidents of any roads in the state. I had an accident when a kid on a moped tried to cut in front of my car. He rolled on my hood and when I hit the brakes, he was propelled onto the blvd. He did a roll and landed on his feet. It was the most beautiful stunt we'd ever seen! I gave it a 10/10 myself. A perfect score!

The section of Kapiolani Blvd in front of our apartment had a median strip dividing the roadway. Across the blvd was the Ala Wai park. There was an opening in the strip for cars turning into the park. Due to the poor street lighting and the likely inebriated state of many of the drivers, cars would slide into that opening, thinking it was the cutout to turning onto Waikiki.. They would slam full speed into the media strip and suffer serious suspension damage. A lot of them would be stuck with both front wheels in the air.. Whee - fun! What a great place that was: you could pull out right into the thick of things from your parking spot and it even had front row seats to minor, non-fatal, accidents. I loved living there.

The Moiliili-McCully area, where we lived, was mostly old houses in the predominantly Japanese section of Honolulu. At the time, the homes were owned by first and second generation Japanese-Americans. Right off the busy Kapiolani Blvd was a fairly quiet and slow moving neighborhood. It's quite a contrast to be transported to a 40's-60's Hawaii just off that main road - it was pretty much like the place we lived in the early 60's.

I did see Tony Curtis driving around in a big white Lincoln. Ha ha, he looked totally lost and out of place in that setting. OTOH, Moiliili is pretty much out of place in it's setting. It's really an anachronism in this new Honolulu/Waikiki era. Too bad, we can always use time machines.

The thing about cloud seeding is that you still need clouds hitting cold air to produce rain. We still can't produce any of those conditions. The dream of world domination through control of the weather is still 10 or 20 year off. Hee hee.

Are there any movies about the net that don't totally suck? I think not. That's the breaks.

Cheney is really going to be ****ed when he finds out.

In the 'not a total suck' category was the TV miniseries "Pirates of

Otherwise, you're right.

A job for Mad Man Marcum then!

http://d3adcc0j1hezoq.cloudfront.net...XUS-Marcum.pdf

T
he machine, an array of wires attached to two vertical cylinders inside
a rotating magnetic field, 3,000,000-volt arcs of electricity dancing
through them, rose 35 feet above the floor of the Kansas City,
Missouri, warehouse. Mike Marcum stood on a cherry picker 25 feet
above the machine, staring into one of the cylinders at a four-foot-wide
circular heat signature—an event horizon. He knew what that heat signature
meant. He'd discovered it in the little northwestern Missouri town of
Stanberry years earlier, and it was something that no one had found before.
As the electric arcs crackled below him, he steadied himself, sweat beading
on his face.
Marcum was certain he'd built a time machine. So certain, he took a
breath and jumped into the heat signature. Then he disappeared. To
everyone—family, friends and people who followed his time travel
experiments on paranormal radio and in the mainstream press—on that day
in 1998, Mike Marcum was gone. In 2011, I found him.

So you didn't date Cindy? Interesting...

Here's a place in Moiliili we enjoy a lot. My guess is the president has fond memories of the place too.

That was a happening place in the 70's and 80's. I don't go near there these days. Maybe when they have self-driving cars, I'll visit occasionally. I'll just get out on Kalakaua and the car will go park itself. That'll be cool.

That's a pretty good tale. The best tales are the ones in which people believe to be true.

It's Darwin Awards grade for sure, but dang it, the Guinea Pigs didn't
end up in a field in Ohio, so...

No, that was what I referred to as "misplaced humor". Again, my apologies.

Those guinea pigs were immediately set upon by a pack of hungry field
mice. Such are the hazards of time travel.

Speaking of science fiction, I've had a pot of pork in the rice cooker
for almost 2 days. It's just pork with gochujang, sugar, shoyu, Korean
chili pepper powder, and other stuff. I just put everything in the pot,
turn it on cook, set it on warm, and let it go. The rice cooker holds it
at about 140. My guess is that I can keep it as long as I want. It'll
hold at serving temperature indefinitely. Pretty amazing.
