Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Waterbury (nicknamed The Brass City) is a city in the U.S. state of Connecticut on the Naugatuck River, 33 miles southwest of Hartford and 77 miles northeast of New York City. Waterbury is the second-largest city in New Haven County, Connecticut. As of the 2010 census, Waterbury had a population of 110,366, making it the 10th largest city in the New York Metropolitan Area, 9th largest city in New England and the 5th largest city in Connecticut.Throughout the first half of the 20th century, Waterbury had large industrial interests and was the leading center in the United States for the manufacture of brassware (including castings and finishings), as reflected in the nickname the Brass City and the city's motto Quid Aere Perennius? (What Is More Lasting Than Brass?). It was also noted for the manufacture of watches and clocks.
The city is along Interstate 84 (Yankee Expressway) and Route 8 and has a Metro-North railroad station with connections to Grand Central Terminal. Waterbury is also home to Post University and the regional campuses of the University of Connecticut, University of Bridgeport, Western Connecticut State University as well as Naugatuck Valley Community College.
A Weekend Riding And Exploring The Railroad Museum Of New England - Day 1
The weekend was spent at the Connecticut Railroad Museum of New England . They run fan rides weekends only running from the nicely restored station at Thomaston, CT north to the Thomaston Dam, and then south toward Waterbury, CT where they stop at Fascia's Chocolate Factory and store and then go back north to Thomaston. This is our run today. Tomorrow we will go further north to the City of Torrington, CT where we can lay over for 2 hours to get lunch and explore the local shops. Their main source of revenue is freight serving the business south of Thomaston. The museum is a fan run organization and operates only on weekends and holidays.
We never go more than 25 MPH though the closeness of the foliage a rock at times are a blur.
Clip 1 & 2 switching the engine for the ride up to Thomaston Dam.
Clip 3 we back up for the ride to the dam and will head forward for the return trip. The route was built by blasting through the granite rocks. The material blasted out was used to build the dam after the great flood of 1955.
Clip 4 we proceed forward south from Thomaston Station to our stop at Fasia's Chocolate Factory and store where we get 20 minutes to have a snack before heading back north to Thomaston Station. Perhaps you can hear the conductor describing the ride and we get some loud whistle blasts as they whistle through the crossings. Because this is a working railroad the road bed is well kept at least on this part of the line. North of Thomaston is kept up but not as well as this part of the line. The State of Connecticut owns the line so all the material comes from the state. Track and the wooden ties are excess from other lines and also reused from lines that have been upgraded to concrete ties.
Clip 5 the engine has been put back on the head end and we proceed north back to Thomaston Station. The view out the window is from the other side. There are more businesses and residential houses on this side. The Naugatuck river meanders back and fourth and appears on this side also. There are many great spots for the sport fisherman in this part of the state along the river. We pass the Railroad's shop and storage facilities and a number of businesses that the railroad serves during the business week. You can see the railroad's storage and restoration shop as we pass by it and get a quick glimpse of the nicely restored F unit that is used at times. Right now it is getting some mechanical work done. This is where our train is stored for the night and weekdays.
The last clip is of the train backing down from Thomaston for the storage facility. The engine is kept on the front for our trip to Torrington tomorrow. Note the sound of the pea whistle which the conductor sounds when backing.

Near Tornado in Larchmont, NY 7 7 09 Approximately 11 40 p m
I saw the Tornado Warning on tv at about 11:35 p.m. and immediately grabbed my Flip Mino camera and stuck it out the window to capture the video you see here. At approximately 3:10 into the video (and even a bit earlier), you can see a series of low gray clouds start to fly by directly in front of the camera. As my arm was out the window, these clouds literally felt colder than the rest of the air and felt like they contained ice slivers. I do believe this was as close to a tornado as you can get without it actually being one -- though it may have actually been one (albeit not a well-organized one).
The Weather Channel Tornado Warning you see at the beginning of the video was actually recorded *after* I captured the video of the storm itself, but I placed it before the storm footage for purposes of context and to set the stage for the footage.
Whereas the warning mentions that the storm is in New Rochelle at 11:32 p.m., the village of Larchmont (which is only about 1 square mile in size) is located adjacent to New Rochelle; hence, the storm came through Larchmont literally moments later.
