One of my greatest joys , in my Life

is to be camping
out in the mountains , 400 miles from any lights ,
city or small town lights or any kind of lights ,
no Moon , Very Dark sky , laying on the ground ,
snug in my sleeping bag , my head comfortably resting on a pillow
and to look up at the dark night sky ,
a blaze with the light of the Milky Way and millions of Bright Stars .

we could Receive the next WOW Signal in the next 5 Minuets

or even if it takes Generations of Humans ...... SETI@home is still worth while

The knowledge gained from any failure only contributes to successes
in science in the future. The human condition motivates us humans
to learn about everything and continue despite the overwhelming
odds until we humans finally succeed. Many of the things
we take for granted today , are the direct result of this human behavior.
Things like computers , light bulbs, telephones and airplanes
are among them
The only requirement is that we try.
The probability of success is difficult to estimate
but if we never try , the chance of success is , zero

Carl Sagan is my hero ,
may his Humanity , his Eloquence , and his Passion for , Science , Life
and --- the Search for Extra terrestrial Intelligence --- Live For Ever

The most powerful computing network ever assembled
is about to enter a new design phase.
Drawing on Vast unused idle times
of more than four and half million home computers,
SETI@home currently gets about 46.10 Tera Flops / sec
and has cost only -- approximately -- $500,000 so far,
compared to staggering $100 million ... plus
required for high-end supercomputing.
the next generation of the SETI backbone,

called Boinc for:

Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network computing


is designed to make it easier
for other projects to generalize
this unique science architecture
[/i]

Albert Einstein --- Wrote the following:

The human mind ... is not capable of grasping the Universe
We are like a little child entering a huge library
The walls are covered to the ceilings
with books in many different tongues
The child knows that someone
must have written these books
the Child does not know who or how
It does not understand the languages
in which they are written
But the child notes a definite plan
in the arrangement of the books
a mysterious order which it does not comprehend
but only dimly suspects

A human being is a part of a whole
called by us humans as the universe
a part limited in time and space
we humans experiences our selfs
our thoughts and feelings
as something separated from the rest...
a kind of optical delusion of our consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us humans
restricting us to
our personal desires and to affection
for a few persons nearest to us.

__ therefore ___

Our task ...... as humans ........
must be to free ourselves from this prison
by widening our circle of compassion
to embrace all living creatures
and the whole of nature
in its beauty.

Also I am a Gold Prospector.
I still to like to get out every summer
and climb
those Mountains in the Yukon _ Canada ___ :-)

I have prospected in the Yukon
N.W.T. , [ North west Territories ]
all these areas
are NORTH of 60 degrees Latitude
and south of 60 degrees Latitude
is British Columbia , Canada
I have prospected many parts of British Columbia

I love the __ bush __

Also My Great Grandfather Hatch was also gold prospector.

that is why I like SETI@hone , and prospecting
in both cases , ya gotta be an eternal optimist !

My Grandfather was Born on the Canadian -- prairies in , 1880 , and
he participated , along with thousand of other people , from all over the World ,
in The Great Klondike Gold Rush of 1898 , on the Klondike River
Yukon territories , Canada. ---- In 1898

My Grandfather , along With my great uncle Tom , Climbed over the
Chilkoot Pass , in the year of 1898
(elevation gain of over 600 meters (2,000 feet) in the middle
of the Canadian Winter , the Chilkoot Trail runs through Alaska
United States of America , to the Canadian -- Boarder , Yukon Territories , Canada.

The Canadian North-West Mounted Police
were waiting at the top of the Chilkoot Pass .
The Canadian North-West Mounted Police , were quickly called upon
to keep order among some of the roughest customers one could imagine!
They also had to enforce a hastily enacted law that every
person traveling to the Yukon Territories
had to carry at least a years provisions which amounted to 900 kg (2,000 lbs)
of supplies. If you did not have 900 kg (2,000 lbs) of supplies ,
you were not , permitted to enter Canada ,
and you were sent back to Alaska , U.S.A.
Only the hardy could expect to make the grueling trek !

The Chilkoot Pass is 53 kilometers (33 miles) in length and runs
between Dyea, Alaska , U.S.A. , 14 kilometers (9 miles)
east of Skagway, Alaska , U.S.A. .... to Bennett Lake in British Columbia Canada
then on to , the Klondike River in the Yukon territories , Canada , and the gold !!

all this took place in the year of 1898 !

To make a Long story short
My Grandfather and great uncle Tom found some gold
in The Great Klondike Gold Rush of 1898 , on the Klondike River , Yukon , in Canada
gold enough to Returned to the
Canadian prairies , Saskatoon , Province of Saskatchewan
and Buy a 160 acre wheat farm in , 1899

The World is my country all mankind are my brethren
and to do good is my religion Thomas Paine
The Age of Reason
- American Revolutionary - War -1774

when I , retire , I want to go back to the YUKON --- in , CANADA
and build a Log cabin
Look up at all the , BILLIONS of , stars
in the night sky , and think and wonder ................

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant,
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter;
for always
there will be greater and lesser persons
than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career,
however humble;
it is a real possession
in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let not this blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity
and disenchantment it is as perennial
as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore, be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams;
it is still a beautiful world
Be cheerful
Strive to be happy

Tolerance, friendship, Respect, Peace and Kindness to all

Be cheerful
Strive to be happy
thanks for reading this

friendly and respectful
