The Taos Hum


Taos is a sleepy town in New Mexico that, in the winter serves as a skiing community.  However, there is another reason that Toas is famous and it's a reason that has been documented but never explained.

It's a low-frequency hum that seems to emanate from everywhere.   Not everyone in the town can hear it, but a large portion of residents and visitors can.  It's been said that two percent of people can perceive the incessant low tone.

First reported around 1990, the hum is on the threshold of human hearing - from about 20 to 20,000 hertz or cycles per second. Acoustic investigations have concentrated on low - frequency sounds between 33 and 80 hertz, but have failed to pinpoint the source of the strange sound. The sound has been described as low, grinding and pulsating, like a diesel truck idling in the distance.

 So what could it be?  The region is seismically stable and no one has been able to offer any natural explanation.   Some claim that the hum is a government experiment in mind control... others say that it's a form of mass hallucination.

Taos is not unique. Similar reports of low frequency hums have been made in Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Canada, many places in the United States, most recently in Indiana.

Troubled people in England who hear the hum have even formed an organization called the Low Frequency Noise Sufferers Association.

News Khabran / Chile Earthquake Has Shifted The Earth’s Axis
« on: March 14, 2010, 08:27:12 PM »

We’ve all heard about the size of the earthquake in Chile last week, but a new finding takes it to new levels: the Chile earthquake has shifted the Earth’s axis.

According to NASA scientists, the quake shifted the axis of the earth by about 3 inches (7.6 cms), which might not seem like a lot, but given the size of this planet we live on, is rather remarkable.

The good news is the shift isn’t about to cause a Roland Emmerich like end of days scenario or affect the seasons or weather, but it will shorten every day by 1.26 microseconds.

NASA explained that the key to the shift was due to the location of the quake, with the fault slicing through Earth at a steeper angle, making “the Chile fault more effective in moving Earth’s mass vertically and hence more effective in shifting Earth’s figure axis.”

Now that the Winter Olympics in Canada are over the world’s attention is turning to the upcoming 2012 Olympics to be held in London England.

While organizers are telling anyone who will listen – and believe them – these games will be fiscally responsible the truth as with all Olympics will probably turn out to be a different story.

One of the big concerns of course id the security that will surround the games with the current budget of £600 million generally considered to be laughable and overly optimistic. What is starting to get the attention of many civil liberty groups however is the increase in police powers leading up to and including the games.


Moves to safeguard company trademarks and stamp out ambush marketing, to preserve the monopoly of official advertisers and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) logo, are raising concerns among civil liberty groups.

Police will have powers to enter private homes and seize posters, and will be able to stop people carrying non-sponsor items to sporting events.

“I think there will be lots of people doing things completely innocently who are going to be caught by this, and some people will be prosecuted, while others will be so angry about it that they will start complaining about civil liberties issues."

Given the country’s penchant for stomping on people’s rights none of this surprises me and I wouldn’t be at all surprised to hear more complaints in the future as we get closer to the games.

Shayari / Facing Eternity With a Smile
« on: March 14, 2010, 07:21:01 PM »
I was sitting on the sidelines
When I saw this girl--
She was skipping, hopping, laughing
She even threw in a twirl.

I stopped her for a minute
Asked her why she laughed so much.
She said, For me, this world's hard,
And life is bleak, so day by day,
I know I can't give up.

You see, I am so sick, she said
And I don't have much time.
But even with sixty-five roses
Life can be enjoyed.

So I do what makes me happy,
I laugh until I cry
Push regrets into the past
And sing my song out loud.

I said, Wow, that's amazing.
She shrugged and smiled at me;
Inspired me to join her,
Live life the way it should be

I'm no longer on the sidelines,
Because life is just a game.
And the hurts, the cuts, the bruises,
Don't matter in the end.

Why can't you get a tan on your palms?
Skin contains the pigment melanin which is activated by exposure to light. The palms of your hands and the soles of your feet have much thicker layers of skin due to their regular contact and friction with other objects (the ground, tools, etc).

Melanocytes exist in the dermal layers of your palms and soles, but are buried beneath the more callous layers and are rarely directed at the sun. You could in theory try to tan your hands but the results would be pretty minimal compared to the rest of your body.
