Eco-friendly technology is not only highly anticipated, but necessary by common understanding.

…and while we pursue this concept of earth preservation and the impact that humans impose, we may still overlook some things.

The material values and industrial dependency involved in these equations provide a huge oversight in the rise of these new techniques.

This is on the level of a paradigm shift, and that takes many things.

The F3DM is an example of the hybrid movement, but still very limited in acceptance.

Many would say that everyone sees the direction, why can we not make the switch more quickly?

In my opinion humans, as connected beings, need a sudden common appreciation if anything is going to change. That is, if there is anything to change. That’s beyond me!

This is not an argument in either direction regarding Global Warming.

I had forgotten about this remark,  I’m just glad it took over 40 years to get forgiveness, good for Vatican. John Lennon can finally R.I.P.

Here is the full story on .

A young John Lennon said "The Beatles are more popular than Jesus" in 1966. If the world was polled in 1966, I bet it would have been a tight race.

No surprise here, its from Japan. Here is the Reuters story:

TOKYO (Reuters) – Who said bras are only for women? A Japanese online lingerie retailer is selling bras for cross-dressing men and they’ve quickly become one of its most popular items.

Since launching two weeks ago on Rakuten, a major Japanese web shopping mall, the Wishroom shop has sold over 300 men’s bras for 2,800 yen ($30) each. The shop also stocks men’s panties, as well as lingerie for women.

“I like this tight feeling. It feels good,” Wishroom representative Masayuki Tsuchiya told Reuters as he modeled the bra, which can be worn discreetly under men’s clothing.

Wishroom Executive Director Akiko Okunomiya said she was surprised at the number of men who were looking for their inner woman.

“I think more and more men are becoming interested in bras. Since we launched the men’s bra, we’ve been getting feedback from customers saying ‘wow, we’d been waiting for this for such a long time’,” she said.

But the bra, available in black, pink and white, is not an easy sell for all men.

The underwear has stirred a heated debate online with more than 8,000 people debating the merits of men wearing bras in one night on Mixi, Japan’s top social network website.

AND then…

I watched this one

Not as cinematic, and more like a documentary

this video provides a RAW counter perspective concerning the Dow Co.

 

FAST culture + FAST trains = FAST living

The Mag Lev consists of technology that is in development, and seems very promising

this video is self explanatory

Not quite the same properties in action here, but similar concept.

I.E.D. - improvised explosive device…

If you don’t want to know, don’t watch.

This video really helps put things in perspective for the common American regarding our presence in Iraq.

I bet you’ve never seen something like this on the news, too disturbing it may seem for most (or maybe too revealing?)

Realize, people died in this explosion, at least I’m assuming.

Positioned in the heart of London, Trafalgar Square is the place where two opposites met to publicize the release of the new “Guinness World Records 2009.” He Pingping, the world’s shortest man who can walk met Svetlana Pankratova, the woman with the longest legs.

He Pingping, of China, was born with a type of dwarfism. He, 20, stands precisely 2 feet 5.37 inches tall.

He called Svetlana Pankratova’s legs “very beautiful.”

Pankratova, 36, who is Russian but lives in Spain, has legs that are nearly 52 inches long, or more than 4 feet long. Her upper body has nearly typical proportions, giving her a giraffe-like appearance.

Dressed in a bright-blue mini-dress and low-heeled pumps, Pankratova, 36, said she liked her legs, though they can complicate things. “It’s hard to find clothes, especially pants,” she said.

I think every girl has trouble finding pants, and mostly I think that is due to the fact that designers think women come in height sizes of short, regular and tall. The waist of our pants is also decided on what number you are, 00, 0, 1, 3 and so on it’s disgusting, oh and each designer is different on their sizes. Men don’t have half the trouble because their pant size is determined by waist inches and inseam.

At just over 6-foot-4, Pankratova isn’t the tallest woman on record. Sandy Allen, of Shelbyville, Indiana, who died recently, held that title at 7 feet, 7 inches, according to the book. The book said He is the shortest man who can walk.

The latest edition also includes Britney Spears, did you know she is the most-searched person on the internet?

With the Lehman Brothers hitting bankruptcy, and all the live coverage of the happenings on Wall Street, there is bound to be a few pranksters. Check these two out, they are “consoling each other.” Yeah… Consoling.

I just read an article about an elderly British woman, 78, who has won the ability to sue a serial rapist after he won the lottery.  The newly millionaire rapist, Iorworth Hoare, assaulted the woman known only as Mrs. A in 1989, won the lottery in 2004 and collected the money in 2005 when he was released from prison after 16 years.  Hoare won just about $12.8 million when he bought a winning lottery ticket in 2004 when he spent a few hours outside of prison under supervision.

Mrs. A sought to sue Hoare when she learned about his winnings. But she was initially told the time limit for compensation claims had run out, with such claims allowed only up to six years after a crime.

Is that justice?  I think so!  That elderly woman has spent the last 19 years a different woman because of that sexual assault.  Why didn’t she sue before her six year limit was up?  Well, when the rapist doesn’t have the funds, it sort of seems pointless right?  Personally I think that all the money he won while in prison should go to his victims, he owes them that, and a lot more.  Comments?  I’m curious on other views.

One over priced watermelon was bought by a marine products dealers in Japan for $6,125 Friday.  The black Densuke watermelon, grown only on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, was one of a few thousand available each year.

Evidently these watermelons are pretty good because three years ago some other crazy person threw down $3,000 for one.

What would you do with $6,000?  Spend it on the sky rocketing gas prices?
