  1. not many if you don't eat. i guess getting off the phone last night b/c you "needed to get another drink" may not have been such a wise course of action!

  3. hey gina, a kid named metro pmed me from gn- he says you two are buddies! lucky bastard is in ibiza
  4. we are so in tune these days! gk, you continue to be a disappointment.
  5. i've seen it all. lev just scored by hitting the post and the ball ricocheting off the keeper's back as he was diving in mid-air.
  6. levircusen v. real on now! i think figo's time has past. anyone else?

  11. Technology - AP Japan Gadget Turns Plants Into Speakers Tue Sep 14, 9:00 AM ET Add Technology - AP to My Yahoo! By YURI KAGEYAMA, AP Business Writer TOKYO - The therapeutic power of flowers takes on new meaning with a Japanese gadget that turns plants into audio speakers, making the petals and leaves tremble with good vibrations. Get Into Gaming Want great games? Then play a powerful PC or top-notch laptop. Plus, next-gen consoles promise awesome action. Called Ka-on, which means "flower sound" in Japanese, the machine consists of a donut-shaped magnet and coil at the base of a vase that hooks up to a CD player, stereo or TV. Place the flowers into the vase, turn on Ka-on and the magnet and coil relay the sound vibrations up the stems through the plant's water tubes. Near your ear and hear the music emanate from the petals. Touch a leaf, and feel it shake as though in a quiet dance. Later this month, you'll be able to carry on a telephone conversation with a flower with a planned speaker phone model. Unlike regular speakers, which send sound in one direction, Ka-on shoots it in all directions, filling an entire room with music in a more natural ambiance. Masumi Gotoh, president of Let's Corp., a Nagoya-based telecommuncations-equipment company that developed and manufactures Ka-on, calls it ideal for flower table-arrangements at weddings, reception desks at hospitals and decoration at restaurants. Ka-on vases and amplifiers come in various sizes, ranging in price from $46 to $460. There's a version that works with potted plants, and a wireless connection will soon be available for piping music to the Ka-on. Not only does Ka-on deliver flowery music, it keeps bugs off plants and helps cut flowers last longer, Gotoh claims. "The plant is happy listening to music," says Gotoh, showing off a rubber plant hooked up to Ka-on in his Tokyo office. "Gerberas and sunflowers work especially well as speakers." Ka-on is also being used for concerts. Several Ka-on were planted near a bamboo grove to play music at a recent event in Japan. About 3,000 of $46 Ka-on version, on sale via the Internet since July, have been sold and some 10,000 orders have been received so far.
