Ear Damage - Cell Phone Culture
ImageShack
To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug

Use of cell phones for long durations seems to affect the hearing efficiency and ability to discriminate certain sounds. This is said to be the effect of high frequency audio waves. The ear is getting bombarded constantly and that would make the ears lose their natural abilities. We know that sound is a cause for certain mental problems and the environmental effect of sound is well known.

There is no need for sci-fi to create new and strange animals-in some fifty years every American would look like one such creature, if things go on this way. He may have a robot to guide him and drive him about.  Nature never forgives.  Emerson had seen only the calculators, when he commented:

Nature hates calculators - Ralph Waldo Emerson

June 5, 2008

Dallas police halted a highly successful vehicle theft decoy car program after a car they were monitoring crashed into another automobile and killed an 83-year-old driver.

According to authorities, 28-year-old Eddie Ramirez stole a bait car, which, rigged with a hidden camera and tracking equipment, was designed to be stolen. As part of the theft program, rigged vehicles are placed in high crime areas, with the the doors unlocked and the keys inside. Once inside, crooks are caught on tape, officers kill the car's engine and sometimes lock the doors.

Elite retreats of the well-off and well-known

Where the world's influential celebrities go for some rest and relaxation


Whether it's adopting babies in Africa or visiting the troops in Iraq, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt know a thing or two about travel. Sometimes, though, a family of six just wants to have fun. This winter, the Jolie-Pitt clan took their private 14-seat plane to Mammoth Mountain in California's Eastern Sierra Nevada range.
By Forbes Traveler staff

If you're one of the most influential celebrities in the world, you have more than a few options when it comes to traveling. Like the rest of us, some A-listers have a tried-and-true vacation spot, while others prefer to explore new parts of the world every chance they get. The upside to having a mansion at your disposal in Maui — like Oprah — is that the entire place has been outfitted to accommodate your personal needs. Every time you visit, it takes less time to settle in and relax.

Skyscraper of steel toy parts sparkles in New York

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A million pieces of stainless steel toy parts assembled into a nearly seven-story model skyscraper glimmered under the hot sun in New York on Tuesday, in American artist Chris Burden's latest project.

The 16,000-pound (7,250-kg) "poetic interpretation" of the 30 Rock Building at Rockefeller Center was made of replicated Erector set pieces from the toy created by A.C. Gilbert in 1912, Burden said.

"He was inspired by the buildings to build this toy system and I used this toy system to build a building," Burden said.
