Hello Fellow Followers and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
How has your past 13 days in this new year been? (Please comment below, I am really interested in what you have to say.
Here are some of the things my family might do in 2016:
Visiting Florida, family weekend trips close to home, possibly another cruise (gulp), family reunions to local state parks and just being happy being together.
I was recently asked to join National Junior Honor Society. I was pretty excited to be asked. There was a couple of pages that I needed to fill out telling all about my life accomplishments up till now. My mom kept really good records of all the great things I've done. Among those things that I've done, this blog is one of them. Some of the other cool things I've done are: Organize a lemonade stand for the animal shelter, been in two church plays, PRIDE community clean up every year, Emcee of the 5th grade math concert and of course Voice of the Cougars. If you have gone to any of the Middle School Football Games this past year, then you have heard me!
I am looking forward to adding to my life accomplishments and this blog. I like volunteering and helping others. It makes me feel good about myself and knowing that I am making other people happy. I've helped out at the food pantry recently. I didn't know what to expect but we got the job done of course. I helped put food in boxes and load them into people's cars. The people there were very appreciative of my work there. I was glad to help. It made me realize how fortunate most of us are. We ALL need to help others so they can benefit from our generosity.
One of the things I've done in 2016 so far is read the latest Diary of a Wimpy Kid series (#10 Old School). So far it's the 10th one in the series and I recommend it because the series is funny and lighthearted with a little touch of comedy in there which is why I love it. There are very funny pictures which help tell the story. My favorite book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series was The Long Haul (#9) where Greg and his family go on a road trip. It was really funny because there are many, many funny situations that happened while they were on the road. When Greg throws a cheese doodle to a seagull, an entire flock then suddenly invades the whole car.
Another thing that I am going to do this year is get new glasses. You see, the ones I have now are children's sizes and are too small. They have created a small raw spot on my temple. So yesterday, my mom took me to pick out new frames. We found a very handsome pair. They make me look even smarter!
Please comment on what you think of my blog but more importantly let me know what you would like me to blog about next!
Goodbye and I'll blog again soon.
Your favorite blogger,

New Horizons Space Probe
Dear all you viewers.... This is your favorite Blogger, Brennan! Sorry I haven't been posting anything in a while. I've had a hard time thinking of things to put on, (also I've been sick but I'll save that story for another blog), but today, I have something to talk about!! THE NEW HORIZON SPACE PROBE THAT PASSED BY PLUTO ON JULY 14 OF THIS YEAR!
If you want to learn more about it, just type in New Horizons Space Probe on Google and look at the images that it has taken. You may be thinking, did this thing orbit or did it send a lander..... NO! The problem was that they needed the probe to be light and fast. It took almost a decade (9 years) for it to get to Pluto. Also, you may be thinking it was like the Cassini Space Craft that landed a probe on Saturn's largest moon, Titan. And like the New Horizons Space Probe, it was launched by NASA.
Here are some things that I know about what the probe has seen and what I have heard in the news about it:
Pluto has 11,000 ft. high mountains of water ice. Pluto also seems to be geologically active and scientists are wondering where the heat is coming from since Pluto is the farthest planet away from the sun. And yes, I'm still calling Pluto a planet!!! A likely theory about where the heat is coming from is that it's largest moon Charon is not orbiting Pluto in a way you think the moon orbits the earth. It is actually referred to as a binary system since the objects are very big in mass, Charon and Pluto both orbit each other and in between them is a thing called the Barycenter. This is not a black hole but a place that is in between both their planets where their separate gravities intersect each other and perpetually turn each other in an orbit.
About the heat from Pluto... Scientists propose that the gravity from Charon is possibly deforming Pluto causing it to maybe turn into an oval or pear shape. This is referred to as gravitational bulging. Look it up on Google. What happens is, both objects have very large masses and because of this they both pull on each other. It's like a tug of war where each team is pulling on each other and sometimes they bulge a little. The extreme tidal forces from Charon and Pluto is possibly driving some sort of geothermal activity on Pluto which explains why the surface looks very new and there aren't many craters. An example of this is the Moon Io in Jupitor. Io is very close to Jupiter and Jupiter is very massive. Jupiter's gravity is very strong and pulls on Io just like our moon drives the tides on earth. But with Jupiter's large size, these tidal forces are very extreme.
The New Horizons Space Probe did not drop a lander but this thing called a fly by. There was no time to go into orbit because they didn't have any fuel left. But they did get some fascinating data on the hard drive and it is still beaming back to earth as we speak or as you read this blog. There are so many fascinating things about Pluto. It is the furthest and least known about planet until now. The man who discovered was named Clyde Tombaugh in 1930. When Clyde died, his remains were cremated and a small portion of his ashes were sent on the New Horizons Space Probe. NASA is carrying on his memory by sending his ashes on the fly by of Pluto.
New Horizons will also be joining some of the few space craft that have left our solar system. These include Voyagers I and II, Pioneer 10 and 11. Which means that they will not be coming back to earth and they will keep going to Infinity and Beyond until they are possibly discovered by a race of intelligent creatures likes us.
In conclusion, this moment in history is something great for all of us and for NASA with more data on how binary systems interact with each other and possibly how they are formed. There is still a ton of data left on New Horizons hard drive which is still streaming from his long range antenna. And will possibly conclude by the end of the year or more. Until then, there is still so many mysteries about Pluto that we have yet to see or understand.

Brennan Ison, Voice of the Cougars
This is Brennan Ison here, making another blog. I know you all have been desperate for me to make another one, so here it is!
I have been chosen to be the "Voice of the Cougars" !
The "Voice of the Cougars" is the announcer for the Cougars JV Football games for the Middle School.
I show up at Cougar Stadium a few minutes early and take my seat and get my headphones on to block out any echos. I sit in the "press box" but I like calling it the "voice box". My dad comes with me and we wear our Morgan County Football shirts!!
Wen I am ready to start announcing, here is my opening statement: "Hey all you Cool Cats, this is your man main on the microphone, Brennan Ison. Coming to you LIVE from the voice box here at Cougar Stadium. Lets hope we have a great game today and win. But we all know winning isn't everything, so lets just have a clean good game and hope no one gets hurt". Some of the other things I say are "Lets hear it for these cheerleaders. Great job ladies", also "visit the snack bar for some good treats", "Go get yourself a wold famous hot dog at the snack bar, they are better than the ones in Chicago". I also call plays during the game.
It's not easy keeping up with the updates the game has because I am not a fast talker, because sometimes my tongue gets in a twist. It echos up there a lot and it's hard to not listen to myself come back into my ears. That is why I wear headphones so I can concentrate on the words. My dad helps me get the plays right.
During halftime, I go to the concession stand and get nachos or a hot dog or a Kit Kat. I see a lot of my friends as I go to the concession stand and everyone says "Hi Brennan. You did a good job".
When I am at school, and my friends tell me "I heard you at the game. You did a good job", it makes me feel a little bit like a celebrity. I enjoy being the "voice of the cougars". You should come out and see the game and listen to me call it. I hope that in the future, I will probably become a famous voice of the cougars microphone talker and probably end up in the history books.
Though it's not my goal to become like that, I just think that maybe if I do a really good job, I might become famous all around our town.
Go Cougars!
Until next time,
Your Blogger, Brennan

SIM CITY 5
Dear Blog Readers aka My Fellow Fans
Have you heard of SimCity 5? SimCity is a game where you are the mayor and you can create your own city. SimCity is a game about endless choices. We can focus on growing your population, increasing your wealth or making a city that looks like your home town. If you want to look up more about SimCity you can go to www.simcity.com where you can find out everything about SimCity and In fact, update 7 has been just released. You have more choices. You can put down churches in city specializations and you can raise and lower roads with a new road tools. You can make giant suspension bridges or deep subway tunnels. You can even put trees on sides of roads and in parks in the nature section.
Here are some of the things you can do in a normal city. You can draw roads, zone for commercial, residential and industrial. Plop down a power plant to provide your city with power, plop down a water tower to supply your city with life sustaining water and even plop down a sewage outflow pipe where you dump your poo. But you need to put this in a location where the Sims will not get sick. Sims are the people in SimCity which make your city possible. For money, you have simolians. Simolians is the money in SimCity and you need enough to buy the stuff you need. You can also plop a garbage dump or a recycling plant as long as you have a town hall you can plop other expansions, like the department of transportation or department of Safety. The department of transportation allows your Sims to go to and from work or home. You can do a street car station so they can travel by boat, plane, train or bus. You can plop down a hospital, police force and have a fire brigade. You also have to be very careful where you build your stuff. If you put a sewage outflow pipe inside your residential zone, you would make all the Sims sick and you would have to make more hospitals to treat them, which you don't want. Then Sims would be in lower value which would lead to the Sims moving out. Causing abandoned buildings and building fires which would make you increase your fire brigade which would be a big handful. You can even put down parks to increase your land value and so much more.
You can also do great works where the city's work together to build one giant great work. You can do a space center, do archaeology where more Sims can live which creates more money, students, tourists and workers. You can plop a solar farm where you can supply power for your whole region. A space launch center is great for launching satellites into orbit so people can watch TV. It also supply's workers, education and lots of places for the students to work at and also it gives tourists a place to go. An international airport for city's to trade tourists to your city and trade their goods.
Here are some of the specializations that you can do; you can become an oil tycoon, become a mining master. Be a man of technology in electronics. Plop down culture for your tourist city and be a gambling maximizer. You can trade in the city specialization. You can trade things on the global market in SimCity (not the real global market or black market) to increase your simolians.
Did you hear about the new expansion pack called City's of Tomorrow? It will launch on November 12 of this year! In order for the SimCity to work, you need to have an 8 gigabyte computer. I don't have SimCity yet, but I will for Christmas. Tell me if you have SimCity!
I'll write another blog eventually.

PERPETUAL MOTION MOTOR
Ladies and Gentlemen of Science,
You will be happy to know that I believe that I have found the key to making the first perpetual motion motor. What is a perpetual motion motor you may ask? Simply, it is a motor that once started, produces enough energy to power itself and therefore would run forever because it would never run out of fuel. It keeps itself powered up because it is running. This is a mystery that has been around for hundreds of years. A perpetual motion motor will solve the carbon dioxide emission problem. Though this contraption has yet to be built, I have made the design of what I believe it will look like.
Here are some reasons why we should make this and use it around the world. One, it does not produce CO2 emissions, thus no more global warming. Two, this will solve the problem of cheap or free energy. Three, there would be clean air to breathe and no more pollution. Four, the technology will make the inventor (me) a lot of money! And finally, it will make global happiness because the inventor (me) will share the technology around the world.
These are really great reasons to make this machine, but here are some of the downsides. One, starting the motor when the motor is not in motion by using wind, solar, steam or geothermal. This would be a problem because the motor will not be able to run by itself. It would need a jump start. Two, the build up of friction could stop the motor from working. It would stop any rotating or moving parts. Though we can oil the pieces, it would be a problem to keep it oiled. Three, the build up of heat would cause the motor to overheat and stop. The motor will produce its own heat and if that happens, the magnets will heat up causing the iron ions that create the magnetic field to come out of their straight lines. This would cause the magnetic field to stop working.
Four, the wear and tear of the motor over time could cause the motor to stop working. The motor overheating, the boiler cracking, the wires short circuiting, the heater overheating itself, the turbine gears coming loose and the pipe that carries the steam to the turbine could come off. But if we found out that these problems happened, we would have to replace the parts and start all over, beginning with problem number 1, starting up the motor. We could replace the motor but it would cost a lot of money to get the new motor fixed. Finally, we would need quite a bit of start up money to even build this machine. We would also need money to keep it working and replace any parts that wear out.
In the end, if we bypass all these problems, we could create world peace and stop emissions from happening. We could replace every coal or oil power plant from ever existing and replace that with my perpetual motion motor station.
This is why I believe we should build a perpetual motion motor.
Until next time.....

Winter Break 2012
Hello, it's BRENNAN AGAIN!!! It's great to be back. Let me tell you about my Winter Break.
We had a Winter Break and it lasted all the way through January 2013. Today was supposed to be my first day back, unfortunately I had a doctor appointment, which is good for me. So I only have 2 days of school before the 2 days of the weekends.
Anyway, enough about school. Let me tell you about what happened on my Winter Break.
One of the first things I did on my winter break was go to a railroad museum! Me and my grandmother and Tammy and my brother Brody, were going on a railroad trip. When we got there, I suddenly remembered that I had been there before. We got on the train, and who do you think showed up? Santa! I told him what I wanted for Christmas. As there is an interesting fact, the conductor told us about the highest tressel in Kentucky (but we didn't go over it) There was a model of it in the museum, it was O scale (Lionel). Once the train stopped, we got off a saw some of the model railroads, but they weren't working. Anyhoo, we went into another room and it showed what railroading was like in Kentucky back in the 1800's. My favorite part of the trip was riding on the train. But in the gift shop in the museum, was a telegraph machine that you could really work on. I told my grandmother to get on the other telegraph machine. I telegraphed her a telegram that said "I love you" but she didn't understand it. So I told her anyway.
Soon it was CHRISTMAS!!!
Here is what I got for Christmas. I got some clothes, Ship Simulator Extremes, Train Simulator 2012 (but it actually uploaded as 2013), Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days, a Lego Garage, Mining Truck, Mini figs, Helicopter Rescue and a Master Builders Set. I also got an x-box 360. So if you play Minecraft, let me know and maybe we can play together now. We ate lots of good food at my grandmothers house.
You see, the greatest part about this Winter Break is when I went to Columbus Ohio where my mom was raised and we went to see the Harlem Globetrotters. We got a VIP room, which was like First Class. We had great food, Papa John's pizza, chicken fingers, plenty of water and soda, hamburgers, cookies, brownies, chips, anything you could imagine, and 1 GIANT pretzel! We got the best seats in the house. Joining us at the Harlem Globetrotters were my friends Kaley & Erich and their parents. There was a lady there with her husband who were our hosts.
After the Harlem Gobetrotters, we went back to our hotel and Kaley & Erich came over to hang out for a while. We watched some TV, and ate candy. The next morning, we woke up and saw a winter wonderland in Columbus Ohio. It was like Christmas again! It snowed 6 inches overnight! We ate breakfast at the hotel and we could see the Ohio Capitol building out the window. My dad told us about the history of Ohio.
After breakfast, we went to a science museum. It's called COSI. It's a science museum. It had very cool stuff in it about space, the body, and other scientific things. A very cool thing was a giant pendulum proving that the earth rotates. You know one of those pirate ship rides, it swings back and forth like waves on a ship, if we had that ride at the north pole and the earth was straight, but rotating, if you had dominoes around the ride and if the ride was going like a pendulum the earth would slowly rotate beneath and every time it hits a domino, the earth would be rotated to make the ride hit the domino.
After COSI, we then went to mom's old home and she showed us where she used to live. Right behind her house where mom used to live, there is a railroad line which made her love trains.
After we saw mom's old home, we got some food at McDonald's and we stopped at a few places for shopping. We then drove home. The coldest temperature we saw was 26 (f) degrees! Once we got home, we cranked up the heat and fell into a deep sleep.
Then it was the New Year of 2013! New Year's Eve is also the day my brother was born! He is now 5 years old! We had some friends over to celebrate with us. We had lots of food and played. Then we all chanted together 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We even lit off fireworks in the driveway. It was a great time. John Tyler was there. We played tag, but mostly I played Minecraft on the Xbox. John Tyler gave me a few tips.
In conclusion, this is about my winter break. I wonder what Winter Break is going to be like next year.
From your best blogger, this is Brennan Ison signing off.

Here is what I got for Christmas. I got some clothes, Ship Simulator Extremes, Train Simulator 2012 (but it actually uploaded as 2013), Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days, a Lego Garage, Mining Truck, Mini figs, Helicopter Rescue and a Master Builders Set. I also got an x-box 360. So if you play Minecraft, let me know and maybe we can play together now. We ate lots of good food at my grandmothers house.
You see, the greatest part about this Winter Break is when I went to Columbus Ohio where my mom was raised and we went to see the Harlem Globetrotters. We got a VIP room, which was like First Class. We had great food, Papa John's pizza, chicken fingers, plenty of water and soda, hamburgers, cookies, brownies, chips, anything you could imagine, and 1 GIANT pretzel! We got the best seats in the house. Joining us at the Harlem Globetrotters were my friends Kaley & Erich and their parents. There was a lady there with her husband who were our hosts.
After the Harlem Gobetrotters, we went back to our hotel and Kaley & Erich came over to hang out for a while. We watched some TV, and ate candy. The next morning, we woke up and saw a winter wonderland in Columbus Ohio. It was like Christmas again! It snowed 6 inches overnight! We ate breakfast at the hotel and we could see the Ohio Capitol building out the window. My dad told us about the history of Ohio.
After breakfast, we went to a science museum. It's called COSI. It's a science museum. It had very cool stuff in it about space, the body, and other scientific things. A very cool thing was a giant pendulum proving that the earth rotates. You know one of those pirate ship rides, it swings back and forth like waves on a ship, if we had that ride at the north pole and the earth was straight, but rotating, if you had dominoes around the ride and if the ride was going like a pendulum the earth would slowly rotate beneath and every time it hits a domino, the earth would be rotated to make the ride hit the domino.
After COSI, we then went to mom's old home and she showed us where she used to live. Right behind her house where mom used to live, there is a railroad line which made her love trains.
After we saw mom's old home, we got some food at McDonald's and we stopped at a few places for shopping. We then drove home. The coldest temperature we saw was 26 (f) degrees! Once we got home, we cranked up the heat and fell into a deep sleep.
Then it was the New Year of 2013! New Year's Eve is also the day my brother was born! He is now 5 years old! We had some friends over to celebrate with us. We had lots of food and played. Then we all chanted together 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We even lit off fireworks in the driveway. It was a great time. John Tyler was there. We played tag, but mostly I played Minecraft on the Xbox. John Tyler gave me a few tips.
In conclusion, this is about my winter break. I wonder what Winter Break is going to be like next year.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Hello there you blog lovers. I'm Brennan Ison and I am so excited about this Thanksgiving. Most of the time we usually go to Thanksgiving in Florida or Michigan, but not this year. We don't have enough time to go this year. SO, we are going to have Thanksgiving in Kentucky with my grandparents.
On Thanksgiving Day we get up and watch the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade. (My mom really wants to go to New York sometime and watch it in person from a warm hotel room). After the parade then the dog show comes on! I'm really looking forward to all these shows. While we are watching these shows, my mom is in the kitchen cooking up a big turkey! This year she is going to make turkey, potatoes, stuffing and rolls! My grandmother is going to make the rest.
Once dinner is ready we then sit down and say the Blessing. We then EAT THE FEAST and THE BEAST! My favorite thing to eat is the rolls. Yum Yum.
Thanksgiving is a good time for giving thanks to each other. It's about friends and neighbors time. Its about a meaningful life that we have. It's a time to thank God for protecting us and providing us with all the things we need.
Well, I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving this week.
P.S. The best part of this whole week is NO SCHOOOOOOOOOLLLL!!!
