Bushnell 78-9570 hint if you cant focus

If you have bought the Bushnell Voyager 78-9570 and cannot see anything and can only see through the finderscope and not the main focus tube you may have a stripped track on your main focusing tube. If the rack and pinion knobs seem to turn too freely and do not retract the main focusing tube don’t spin and spin the knobs because you will wear out the teeth in that spot. If you bought this item on ebay or another online vendor you may have this problem. This item is known to come out of the box with a worn spot on the teeth. You have to hold the tripod steady and slowly pull the focusing tube by hand until you see the knobs starting to turn. Then you can turn the knobs, but chances are they will have to use your strength to slowly pull the focusing tube again until the knobs start to turn.

If this is your first telescope you probably will be denied a refund even though it came in the box like that. These are really just expensive toys. For the price it is certainly not a bargain.

Indigo Birds

indigo birds crisscross the sky power comes knocks the birds from their perch leaves the earth scarred frozen in a state to die. another bomb bursts in the sky. what remains of hopes works dreams of ancient lies? the boil that remains festers in the mean what rulers raise their hands and dream that tomorrow still remains only a stain that washed the day that passed us by. what bird is still in the sky?

the little girl is weeping her hand is bleeding but no one is there to brush the hair from her eye no one to to hold her stare and answer why she pays tribute to a master race that gave a face of love and hope and all that is sacred meant to stay

it all passed away because the stewards chose to die

in the east there was glory in the west there was praise in the south there were hopes and in the north there were graves. the four corners brought the soldiers with poker faces representatives of the races that would mirror the generals the mockers the haters the arrangers of the one great fear. there is there was but there would never be the panic among them that would save us.

gorgons turned their faces on them

and mother dropped into the earth and one by one her sons made excuses why they scattered her ashes to the sky why they closed the doors to worlds to which they would never fly

indigo birds crisscross the sky a little girl wonders if she is gonna die

Pigfest

i wanna pull the dragon across the sky through seas of wonder but i dont wanna die. the creepy cousins hanging up there with their evil stares and simple lies that smack the skulls of fools hoping to die, cabbage ass dolls and glass slipper Madonnas with hulking features and skinny lies who grab you by the neck and wish for you to die…

i think they wanna kill me, daddy.

and then it is pointed out to me that they have their breed on earth too below the ground beneath the seas and the trouble is what troubles me is the mind they use to carry out their deeds. weapons are built for huge playgrounds and sandpiles in the middle east and in far away deserts covert ops carry out missions of peace.

how many times can we blow up can we irradiate a grain of sand?

Tales of abduction, Ufo’s, Paranormal, and other Unexplained Phenomena

“Brethren, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong was one of the first radio preachers on the air way back in 1925, and used his own radio broadcast as an analogy for how Satan works. Form his very first broadcasts he would tell us how Satan is the Prince of the Power of the Air. You can imagine how a radio can broadcast any of a number of different radio signals depending non which station you tune it to. To listen to your favorite radio station you simply turn the radio dial. Now, we have ample evidence that time travelers, or interdimensional, interstellar travelers are among us and examining us, and are tracking us with implanted devices to monitor and control those of whom they are experimenting with.

Now, have you ever wondered why you listen to certain music? Music is a language, whether or not you have ever thought of it that way. It is a very complex system of linguistics designed to effect our emotions and moods. For those of you who are musicians this should be a simple concept to comprehend. Most of you have a dominant chord, or pitch that you seem to always wander back to. You might be quite versed in a wide variety music, explore the intricacies of scales and keys, but there seems to be a dominant theme or pitch which your music returns to time and again, a home key, chord. It is because of the reaction of your viscera to the vibrations of the individual notes within that key or chord. I won’t get into music theory, but there is also a difference in the way your body reacts to stringed instruments, woodwinds, brass or percussion. Ancient Americans have a custom which used the sound of a pluck string to induce out of body of experiences. It could be used in conjunction with the river or the wind in order to assist the soul to travel.

Travis Walton, the lumberman from Arizona who was with a work crew when the group spotted a UFO, and whom vanished for a number of days, spoke about the sounds of the craft that took him. Now, as he approached it he could hear a sound he could feel as much as he could hear, a combination of low hums and high pitch sounds. What does that sound like to you? Anybody? That’s right, Rock and Roll music.

Now, in a radio interview, the son of the man who brought home some of the debris from 1947 wreckage near Roswell, New Mexico, I am sorry, his name escapes me, anyway, he said the console or the metal was covered with a hieroglyph that appeared to be geometrical markings of sort. Now, these sound like the markings of an advanced alphabet, mathematics and linguistics melded together. Now, some of you may know my young friend Adam who claims to be an abductee, or and experiencer. Well Adam has shown me a notebook of what he calls music language. This language is not like the music notation you and I were taught in High School. No, it isn’t like that at all. It is more like a mathematical equation for guitar language. It is a calculation of a string’s vibrations as it is plucked and fingered. The notes are like the letters of an alphabet, the fingered string are the vowels, according to Adam, there are more vowels than consonants in this particular language, and the plectrum, or plucking of the strings are the consonants. The vibrations are figured mathematically, and as you can imagine, when you start combining two or more strings as exponential factors the equation can get quite complicated. Now, imagine being able to read this equation as you are playing? Imagine reading this equation as language? Imagine instead of an alphabet, the english alphabet for example, you used a metric equation to express voice inflection? The voice is an instrument. We are talking about linguistics here. We would have the voice of a robot with no voice inflection. The human voice is a genuine expression that would take an infinitive mathematical equation to express an individual’s unique voice characteristics. Therefor, the alphabet serves as a linguistic shorthand to engage the listener to imagine the voice of another in text. Possibly, the writing that was seen on the debris recovered at Roswell was an advanced alphabet that included mathematical function to express language for a race of people who do not use spoken phonetics, rather telepathy as a form of communication. I will have Adam’s notebook on display in the back for those who wish to look at it later.

Now, some people say that no one is special. Well, I call bullshit, brethren, because that is communism. That kind of thinking really says “no one is special. We are all the same.” Nonsense. We are ALL special. We are ALL unique. We all need to be recognized for our unique qualities. THAT is what America is supposed to be about, the recognition of the individual, the individual with his own civil rights.

Did you ever see the digits of aliens in the drawings provided by abductees, brethren? Have you noticed their hands and wondered how they could use a surgeon’s scalpel, or do anything complex with those hands and fingers? Have you noticed their looks? Accept the Nordics, they are all ugly little hairless creatures, not at all like the God described in Genesis who had eyes of fire and white hair like cotton. Not much is ever reported about what any of these creatures do, including the Nordics, with their hands. Did you ever wonder? If any being is going to survive or even examine this world we live in they will have to have the use of the most complex instrument of all, the human hand. With it we not only create the greatest of our communicatory achievements of art, and all art is communication, but use them to perform nearly every one of our routine tasks, our most complex operations. Our hands play the musical notes on almost every instrument we have designed, they hold the sticks and match the tempo when we play drums, they hold the handle when we shovel the soil or swing an ax, they hold the wheel steady when we drive. The thumb and the forefinger are designed to hold the thimble while we thread a needle, they sew up the wound, scratch an itch, flick a bug.

But see, we have the experience of thousands of generations ingrained in our DNA. We are born with the support of our own evolution, the average alien hybrid is not, he is a bastard human, a pretender in our midst, neither alien nor human. He does not have the support of evolution, he does not have the support of our community, he does not have our blessing to be among us because he does not ask us. He does not care if we accept him. He has usurped his place among us by abducting our women and men and has no task as high as art, of human spirit of brotherhood. He has shoved our children aside so he may grow like a weed in our midst.

It is no badge of honor to have been abducted by these bastards, brethren! They creep into your lives like sneaky thieves, they abduct you without asking, they come into your home without asking, and when they are told they have no right to take you they say “yes, we do” without equivocation, without justification, and then they erase your memory because they have violated you. If they did have the right why don’t they justify themselves? They act as gods and some of you revere them. These beings are liars and are not to be trusted, brethren! Do not willingly go with them. When they take you demand that these hypocrites, these cowards justify their actions. Ask them what they are doing on OUR planet and why they don’t reveal themselves. Surely, beings of their intelligence can figure out a way to show us they are benevolent without risking their own lives in doing so. Demand that they PROVE they belong here! Demand that they make an adequate account of themselves! Demand that they prove THEY are worthy of being among US, brethren!

Now, with that in mind, some of our women are ostensibly used as part of an alien breeding program where these beings are using our women to hatch their own hybrid species. It is reported that these hybrids are neither alien nor human and need to be taught to be human. After the woman is used to hatch a newborn she is abducted and the baby taken from her usually before she knows what has happened. We have many, many reports from female abductees who have scheduled an abortion procedure and shown up at their appointments only to find the baby has already been aborted, later she be taken to nurture the child to instill human emotion. One thing to remember is that as repulsive as this is we should consider the life of the child. That hybrid came into existence through no fault of its own and cannot be a part of the society responsible for its reproduction, nor a of the society that incubated it. Our hearts should go out to these children brethren, and I ask that if you are in this situation where you are being asked to care for these children or to show these beings how to care for them we should consider the child, no matter how repugnant the actions of the alien society.Of course, I cannot make your decision for you. And I have to admit that I don’t know what I would do if I knew I were impregnated in that way. It is something you have to consult over, something you will need to share with God. Good day, brethren.”

One Nation Under God

All of the unnecessary anxiety caused by accounts receivable is the hallmark of this society, a neurotic inducing, psychotic inducing tizzy of economic fervor. This shyster wants his money, that skeezic wants his “you can pay by debit or credit,” that bank wants to gouge some fees for handling your cash. And at the top of the sinkhole of moral and ethical corruption are the captains, the gods of industry. Make no mistake, the Steve Jobs’ of today are the Andrew Carnegie’s of yesteryear. We are tricked by the shysters of industry into revering these skeezics because their names are on college buildings, fine arts centers, roadways. These are the ones that have made it necessary for us all to be chasing money and credit constantly. Why do we do this? Why this never ending endeavor to produce and devour meaningless junk, engage in meaningless activity, the by products of which are forgotten bad memories of bad days with shitty bosses and crummy coworkers serving a largely selfish crowd?

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the scientific labor shysters of this era, they are worse then Carnegie. Ford and Carnegie went through four workers per quarter to find the one brute who could do the labor at the speed desired, but all we read in those $270.00 textbooks(how ya likin’ that? find it hard to justify? the cost of a textbook being almost the cost of a credit hour? now, if that isn’t the hyper height of absurdity…) all we remember, seem to, is “they paid good wages.” And Jobs and Gates did as well. Ditto Google. But how long before Google sets up that center in India or somewhere and all of those jobs which only one in four qualified applicants can perform, all of whom have invested a one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand in their own education are “phased out” due to “consolidation?”

The economic refuse caused by the so-called housing bubble was largely created, no, IT WAS created by so many displaced workers who invested in education and believed in these captains of industry, who believed that these captains would be honorable and upstanding citizens of the United States of America, but had their collective rugs swept from under them by a corporate complex that strives to serve so-called investors who are simply a cadre of very wealthy corporations whose stock is largely owned by collectively few individuals who exploit the gains of those who have provided the backbone of their industry, people who have been used, abused, corrupted, manipulated and lied to. People who are no longer looking for work because entire industries have migrated overseas, yet whose products and services continue to be dumped back on America.

Remember the pretender King George Bush’s proclamation “spend some money.” Remember it and don’t forget it. Remember his seething hatred to the workers of America when some of you dared to keep that measly “rebate” check he sent you? Remember? To paraphrase “that money is supposed to be spent, not saved.” Not used to pay bills.

This is how far the situation ha gotten: the State of Michigan is now arbitrarily writing down the homestead credit and “recomputing” your tax deduction in the hope that you won’t resist the tactic and simply pay. Of course, they would deny this, but there is no way thousands of people are going to misread and miscalculate how much rent they have paid. Instead of sending a notice asking them to send documentation to prove their rent payments they simply recalculate and send them a bill. Of course, it doesn’t take a high school education to see through this transparent action. The fact is, the local, state and federal governments are bloated monstrosities of privileged departments, all of which exist to maintain a budget of employees with benefits many of us dream of, but provide no lasting, or even present benefit for the society that is supporting them.

So this society, with all of its communities is hanging over a cliff of revolt. There is no solution in sight, no one to stand for the masses who are being exploited exponentially by each generation of captain’s of industry, by each generation of governmental authority, by each generation of the corporate media complex. The student loan debt is a giant loch ness monster sitting on the bottom of it all waiting to devour as the next economic disaster reveals the faulty and diabolical absurdity of the overall plan of the international military/industrial/financial complex of uniting all of the people, all of the nations under an umbrella of economic accountability. The question isn’t “if” a period of great calamity, a great struggle between the exploited and the exploiters with their military and their legal system will happen, but “how soon?”

“Hey, Howard, Didja ever wonder why everyone listens to music?”
“It’s the universal language.”
“Like I said, didja ever wonder? I mean, what is language, an art or a science?”
“Linguistics is a science, of course. But music is art.”
“Why do you say that?”
“Because it is something you create.”
“So the study of creation is art?”
“No, LISTENING is.”
“NO, it is not. Listening is not considered an art, but, yes, I agree, listening is an art. There is most definitely an ART to listening, by that I mean utilizing your understanding of what your brain is doing while listening and then navigating a conversation so as not to offend, and to be able to use metaphor, and all that… the way you do it that is uniquely you, the way you express yourself, the end product of your skill is the art. But most people, the end result of their listening is stick figures, not Degas.”
“Dude, my sculptures are stick figures compared with Degas’.”
“You have such low self esteem, I fucking hate that. Self deprecation…blaaaaah!”
“You honestly don’t think my shit is as good Degas’ shit?”
“I ain’t never seen Degas’ shit, but I’ll bet THEY have.”
“Why don’t you ask them the next time you see them.”
“Ha fucking ha.”
“Ah, you know I’m jes messin’ with ya, Dude.”
“Yeah, yeah, but anyway, when someone says they have an open mind they have to practice an art, but it is discipline. ‘Listening is an art’ is just something people say, or ‘this or that is an art,’ but it’s really a skill, or science to interpret or translate. You would never say a language interpreter is an artist, he is practicing a skill, which is science. When I was in art school they used to say that you had to have skill to be an artist. That is the science. Without the science there is no art. So all art is science because without the skill you don’t know how to create, or don’t have the ability. And to interpret, well, interpretation is a skill, it is linguistics. In fact, THEY insist all art is the study of linguistics because all art is perceived, internalized, categorized, it creates emotion, mood, effects body chemistry, raises and lower blood pressure, calms and excites. In China, as part of Holistic medicine, a doctor may prescribe an activity for his patient, painting, doing exercises, wearing certain colors, avoiding doing things at a certain time of day…”
“Feng shui.”
“I guess, I don’t know much about that stuff, the things we do without thinking we consider art, like listening, but how many people listen well? How often are you misunderstood?”
“All the fucking time, dude, all the fucking time.”
“Exactly. The brain listens to the first few words and makes an assumption usually, misses the middle of the dialogue from the other person as he processes and assumes the category, the definitions, formulates reason, etc… while the other continues to talk, and then picks up again what the other person is saying and reevaluates again while listening, and then that data of what the other is saying is dumped into the model that his brain has formulated by listening to the first part of the other person’s dialogue, and then kinda waits for the other to stop talking.
For instance, how many people really think that listening concerns the inference device? How many people study the reactions of others to what they are saying? I mean, they do it, but they are largely unaware that they are doing it, and so there is untold reams of misidentification because the listener is immediately interpreting what he is hearing into the language of his own mind’s experience, and therefore, makes what he is hearing part of the extension of his own mind. This doesn’t just happen when you are reading, you do it all the time. People always say, ‘oh, I understand what you are saying,’ but what they really mean is “I have interpreted your words with my internal dialogue which is a translation of my own experiences, my own calculations, my own definitions.”
“Dude, I gotta get going…hey, Adam, they aren’t still taking you, are they?”
“I don’t know. My head has been so cloudy lately it almost seems like my dreams are…I don’t know, something is happening in my dreams, and I can’t really figure it out.”
“Be careful…I don’t know why I am saying that.”
“Yes you do. On some level you know. Later, buddy.”

“What is the only instrument you can play without using your hands or feet?”
“Harmonica, flute…”
“Without fingering notes? You mean like a kid sticking it in his mouth blowing to hear himself making noise? Come on.”
“I don’t know, I can sing and make notes, but that isn’t a musical instrument.”
“Who says?”
“Music teachers.”
“Fuck ‘em. That’s like saying singing isn’t music. Stupid. Your throat is an instrument. Your lungs, throat, mouth with teeth and tongue is the most elaborate musical instrument in the world. Tell me, have you ever heard of an alien who didn’t speak telepathically?”
“I have never heard of an alien speaking period.”
“Believe me, they do, but they speak with their mind. They access your brain, what Chomsky called the Language Acquisition Device, and translate their language to your inner ear, to your mind using your native language. They activate your brain’s inference system. You infer in the language you speak, so they can control that aspect of your mind so it is like your own voice, your emissary voice speaking to you.”
“Ok, if you say so.”
“No, i don’t fucking say so! THEY say so. They told me. It’s like this, when you sing you can hear yourself, but your brain is also replaying the song in your head. that is the inference mechanism within the LAD. You are singing harmony with your LAD when you are singing in the shower so that is why it doesn’t sound so bad. Most people sing flat to match the LAD otherwise they couldn’t hear the song playing in their head, but those who have the ability to match pitch everyone recognizes for their ability. You and I both know everybody can’t sing. Only some can. Playing guitar is easier to match what the LAD is playing because it doesn’t match voice. But for some it is impossible to learn a song by ear because when they play the part in harmony they can no longer hear the music. It’s drowned out.”
“Dude, you are starting to make sense. Didn’t you get D’s in High School?”
“That don’t mean a goddamn thing.”
“All right all right, settle… er, it’s cool. I gotcha. just show me the damn song.”
“Motherfucker…”
“Pff hahaha, you know it. your momma.”
“Low D is percussion and overtone making B/G dominant…”
“Just show me what your fucking fingers are doing.”
“You gotta play it right.”
“No fucking way. I can’t do it your way. it looks a lot easier than it sounds, and dude, i ain’t no good at math.”
“All right all right, just do what you can and I’ll do the rest.”
“Thank God.”
“As usual.”
“Hey, don’t think i wont smash this cheap motherfucker up side your head.”
“Yeah yeah, one two one two three four…”

Music is Science: Confessions of a Fryer ch7

Music is Science: Confessions of a Fryer ch7
Tales of abduction, Ufo’s, Paranormal, and other Unexplained Phenomena

No, Father, music is not art, it is science. One thing Adam said over and over was that all vibrations are geometrical patterns and therefore science. Music is the science of math translated for the human ear. He never let me forget that. He completely changed the way I approached music. All music has a measure, even progressive music. Music has a vessel like the human body, which is the dominant beat. But within that beat are all the energies of the body. My guitar is one part of the body, or one expression, a mathematical one. No matter how progressive an instrument like the guitar is played there is a dominant vessel, or framework. Without the body the parts cannot function. The pitch of the voice is in harmony with the body just as the breath. The body is the constituents amalgamated, the beat of the heart, the rhythm of the guitar, the harmony of the voice, the heartbeat of the bass. The bass is a bridge between the heartbeat and the nerves. The voice is the bridge between the heart and the lungs, the lyric is the measure, the translator of the invisible life force, the bass is the breath, the breath is the bridge between heart and the nerves. The nerves are the guitar, the fingers are the 10 on and off beats as in iambic pentameter. The poetry is given meaning by the voice, the guitar provides the mood, the voice the emotion. The bass is the blood that gives life, the blood feeds the cell in 3rds, 5ths and 7ths, the 3rds 5ths and 7ths multiply and the beats exponentiate with polyrhythm. Skin feels the beat on the drums, on the strings in the throat as the wind passes through.

No, music is not art, it is science that is beautiful. This is why Adam’s abductors came to him continually. The sound of music can rip through dimensions, a beat echoed can warp time, a pitch can hypnotize or drive one mad. Music can teach us everything about our emotions, it produces chemical reaction within the brain. It urges us to do things we don’t want to do and do the things we otherwise can’t. It can motivate or depress. His abductors were fascinated by the behavioral properties of music. They measured his brain, his heart, his lungs, his epidermis, hell, they even found that music vibration effected the sense of smell. The aliens showed Adam how certain combinations of vibrations effected the colors he saw when looking at a multicolored object. Taste…even taste, Father. Let me ask you, do like to listen to Heavy Metal, or even dance music if you are having a fish meal with wine? Some wine dulls the hearing and you won’t care what you are listening to, but white wine and fish and Black Sabbath don’t go together for me, nor did it for Adam or his abductors. All five senses are effected by the vibration patterns of music. ALL FIVE.

That is what Adam’s life meant to those who took him, Father. Music is as powerful as quantum physics and is as complex. One time, Adam showed me an equation his abductors had given him which worked out the multiples of a simple D chord that took up an entire notebook, then they added a 5/4 beat as an exponent and the equation was a 3000 page document on a computer disc. They said it would take Adam a lifetime to learn how the multiples effected the five senses so they gave him a diagram of the human anatomy and a sort of shorthand pictorial code to show what parts of the body were being effected, what chemicals were being emitted, what organs, what senses were effected. I tell you, Father, there is no fucking way this is JUST art. There was a reason they kept coming to Adam, and there was a reason they took him. They were teaching him to do something. They were learning from him because his vessel, his body had a unique way of coordinating their calculations. I am not going to let Adam’s memory just die away like any other artist. No way, Father, he had a purpose, and I am going to see to it that it is carried out.
