Yes, this is unbelievable. I hope these swarms slow down. There is a potential for the much larger quake that could end in major disaster.
JAPAN - A series of powerful aftershocks shook the eastern coast of Japan early Thursday, briefly triggering a tsunami alert, in the wake of a strong earthquake that hit a day earlier. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries from the quakes. Thursday's quakes were likely aftershocks from a 7.3 magnitude earthquake that hit in the same area Wednesday, shaking buildings hundreds of miles (kilometers) away in Tokyo and triggering a small tsunami.

Postage Stamps Becoming Extinct
With the continue rising cost of everything and technology continuing to make huge advances every year, it appears to me that the simple things are becoming extinct.
With Facebook, Twitter and other social networks there is no need for that son, daughter, grandchild etc. to send a card through the mail. Heck, I’d be surprised if kids send love notes at school, I’m sure they probably just send text messages.
I have been saying it for a long time; the US Postage Stamp appears to be getting ever closer to be added on to the extinction list.
I just came across a news article that says Sweden is replacing the postage stamp with a text message.
Sweden's postal service is considering letting customers pay for their mail using text messages, rather than with traditional stamps, in a move to use mobile technology to ease the lives of its citizens.

JAPAN - A major 7.2-magnitude offshore earthquake rattled Japan on Wednesday, swaying Tokyo buildings, triggering a small tsunami and reminding the nation of the ever-present threat of seismic disaster. Police reported no casualties or property damage, and operators of nuclear power plants and Shinkansen bullet trains quickly gave the all-clear, while the wave hitting the Pacific coast measured just 60 centimetres (24 inches).
The tremor struck in the late morning about 160 kilometres (100 miles) offshore and 430 kilometres northeast of Tokyo, at a shallow depth of 10 kilometres below the Pacific seafloor. In greater Tokyo -- the world's most populous urban area with more than 30 million people -- the earthquake and a succession of tremors that quickly followed were uncomfortably felt as they shook buildings. Television channels immediately cancelled their programming to transmit information on the quake and a coastal tsunami advisory.

Earthquakes in Honshu Japan.
I feel that this is something to watch. Bad feeling about this.
7.2 earthquake hits off coast of Japan - A tsunami advisory has been issued in Japan after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan's main island of Honshu. The quake was centered 169 kilometers (105 miles) off the east coast of Honshu, directly east of the city of Sendai. The quake occurred about 8.8 miles below the earth's surface. The expected height of the tsunami was only expected to be 0.5 meters (19.6 inches). They could feel the earthquake in Tokyo, 267 miles southwest of the quake's epicenter, and the shaking lasted as long as three minutes, but there was no significant damage. TV Asahi showed video of boats rocking back and forth, as well as images taken from shaken city cams as the earthquake hit.

There may be no such thing as a dormant volcano, according to scientists, who say that many could in fact be reawakened in a period of months. It has long been thought that once a volcano's magma chamber has cooled down, it stays dormant for centuries before it can be remobilized by fresh magma. But researchers have tested a theoretical model on two major eruptions and found that this process can take place in just a few months. The findings should lead to a reassessment of the dangerousness of some dormant volcanoes.
According to the team's mathematical model, reheating takes place in three stages. When fresh hot magma rises from below and arrives beneath the chamber, it melts the viscous magma at the base of the reservoir. This freshly molten magma therefore becomes less dense and starts to rise through the chamber, forcing the rest of the viscous mush to mix. This mixing process, they say, enables the heat to spread through the chamber a HUNDRED TIMES FASTER THAN PREDICTED by volcanologists.
The two researchers tested their model against the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines in March 1991 and the ongoing eruption of the Soufriere Hills volcano in Montserrat, in the Caribbean. In both cases, seismic shocks preceding the eruption indicated the arrival of fresh magma beneath the cooling reservoir. By taking account of various known physical parameters of the two volcanoes - such as magma temperatures, size of the chamber and crystal concentration inferred from the study of magmas - the team was able to pretty much reproduce the time intervals between these warning signals and the eruptions. For Pinatubo, for instance, the mathematical model predicted that the underlying chamber could be reactivated within 20 to 80 days, whereas conventional theory gave a figure of 500 years. In reality, there was a gap of two months between the tremors and the eruption of the volcano.

'Glory' Observatory Satellite Failed to Separate
Houston, VAFB had a problem........
Yes indeed, a Big problem this morning.
The launch of three Amateur Radio satellites on a Taurus XL rocket has ended in failure.
The satellites were launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base at 10:09:45 UT Friday, March 4 on an Orbital Sciences Taurus XL rocket.
The rocket's fairing, the part of the rocket which covers the satellite on top of the launcher, did not separate properly so the Taurus XL did not have enough velocity to enter orbit.
The rocket is believed to have crashed near the Antarctic; the Amateur Radio satellites Explorer-1, KySat-1 and Hermes were all lost.
Watch Glory Launched, but Separation Failed / Orbital Sciences Taurus Rocket

Monster Solar Prominence Captured by SDO
The Sun continues to be active! A large-sized (M 3.6 class) flare occurred near the edge of the Sun on February 24, 2011, and it blew out a gorgeous, waving mass of erupting plasma that swirled and twisted over a 90-minute period. This event was captured in extreme ultraviolet light by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft. Some of the material blew out into space and other portions fell back to the surface. Because SDO images are super-HD, the scienctists can zoom in on the action and still see exquisite details. The video above was created using a cadence of a frame taken every 24 seconds; still, the sense of motion is, by all appearances, seamless. Sit back and enjoy the jaw-dropping solar show. See one of the images, below.
Spaceweather.com reports that Earth was little affected by this blast, as plasma clouds produced by the blast did not come our way.
The latest active sunspot — #1163 — is currently behind the Sun’s eastern limb, but be turning toward Earth in the days ahead, setting the stage for more activity if the eruptions continue.A Video for you to check out as well.

SUPERNOVA--Biggest Bangs We Have Ever Known
When I use to live in the rural part of Michigan Amateur Astronomy was the thing for me. Back in those days I did not have my Amateur Radio License, just a few telescopes, a bonfire and 100 acres of property with the nearest street light miles away. We could see everything in the big field. It was just amazing what we saw in the sky above.
Now that is lost living in the outskirts of town, we have street lights, traffic and neighbors.
I came across this story and thought I’d pass it along.
Supernova-creating particle accelerators will make the biggest bangs we have ever known.
Two new experimental facilities, billed as the successors to the Large Hadron Collider, will recreate the supernova explosions that produced most of the elements that make up our world.

Facebook and Twitter Killing Blogs?
I just read an e-mail with attached links stating;
Facebook and Twitter are killing blogs.
I am not sure how that holds with my little blog, this year, my blog is on a roll having 3,300 visits since January 1, 2011. If the visits continue I will reach a new high for visitors in a year.
As I mentioned in my January 4, 2011 post, I am including my other hobbies and interest in the blog as to having separate blogs for each hobby. I have seen many amateur radio blogs that have this concept.
Anyway, I use twitter, Facebook and my blog to keep in touch with the world.

Generic Name for Viagra
Thanks Bossman Dann for this.
All drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name.
Example, the trade name is Tylenol and it's generic name is Acetaminophen.. Aleve is also called Naproxen.
Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen.The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra.
After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin.Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.
