Do you have King Albert in a can? Such phrases used to be the rage of the Mad Magazine reading youth of the 70′s. Today the ordinary for the prank or crank call has been raised with examples in pop culture television shows such as the Simpson’s. There are now even entire shows, such as Comedy Centrals “Crank Yankers”, committed to the art of fooling an unsuspecting phone recipient.
So what might we suppose in the future? Well engineering science is beginning open a heap of intriguing possibilities. I do not forget as an 11 year old having a tough time convincing someone in my high pitched voice that I was working on the electric lines and wanted to see if their refrigerator was running. With a good deal of innovative assistance, such as MorphVOX a voice altering program from Screaming Bee, a kids probability of pulling off such a prank are primarily increased.
MorphVOX when combined with computer to phone services such as Skype-Out or Yahoo Messenger, enable one to change their voice to a dissimilar age, gender or even unnatural spirits. This opens the possiblenesses for a whole new level of pranks. Imagine a St. Patrick’s Day phone call from a leprechaun, or calling your girlfriend on Halloween with the distorted voice of a child ghost. For the less cruel, how with regards to a call to your kid from the Easter bunny?
So next time you listen sounds like a big gruff man asking when it comes to your refrigerator, just do not forget it might be a couple of kids using the latest in engineering for an old prank.

The Midland WR-100 Weather/All Hazard Alert Radio gives up to the minute weather, hazards and civil emergency information. With SAME Technology the user may listen alerts from one region to multiple counties. Its 25 County Programmable memory allows the user to monitor alerts in up to 25 counties. The User selectable warning systems allows the user to select a 90 db siren, voice alert or flashing LED. The WR-100 features an a 12 hour clock with alarm and snooze. Emergency battery backup with 3 “AA” batteries (Not Included).
Stay up to date on all the latest weather, hazard, and civil emergency selective information with the Midland WR-100B monitor. Capable of receiving seven National Oceanic & Atmospheric Association (NOAA) channels–each of which receives emergency advisories on tornadoes, floods, severe thunderstorms, civil peril warnings, and more–the WR-100B is a will have to for persons who live in high-risk weather areas, such as the Southeast or Midwest. Plus, the seven NOAA channels offer coverage for roughly 93 percent of the U.S., so most people are well covered irrespective of where they live.
Another worthful function is the monitor’s Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) reception. SAME allows users to program the radio to sound an alert only when weather and other emergencies threaten a chosen region or counties. The engineering does away with all alerts from other areas, so users won’t have to perk up their ears each time the alert sounds only to find the emergency is actually 100 miles up the highway. In addition, the WR-100B’s memory system accepts up to 25 counties, so you may monitor a wide swatch of regions at once or restrict it to one.
Should an alert occur, users have a choice of three warning systems: a 90 dB siren, a voice alert, or a flashing red LED light. The siren is the best option for humans with larger homes or who aren’t always near the monitor, while the latter two choices work well for littler homes. Additional features include a clock with an alarm and a snooze button, an emergency power backup that keeps your radio working for the duration of power outages or outdoor use, and external antenna and alert jacks.
The WR-100B, which works with three AA batteries (not included), measures 5.12 by 2 by 6.25 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty.

 Alarms not selective
By Timothy J. Mccarthy
This unit sets up in with regards to 10 minutes, has magnificent reception, and works incisively as advertised. The good thing is, you may put it in your bedroom and be assured of getting woken up in time to get to shelter for the duration of tornado alerts and warnings (serious stuff here in the midwest). The bad thing is, you get the same shrieking alert for severe thunderstorm warnings, something I’d just as soon sleep through. It’s worth the hassle to keep your family safe, but just be conscious that while you may select what SAME areas you’re getting alerts for, you can’t select which types of alerts you’ll get.

This Radio Can Save Your Bacon
By jr_Tech
I live in Oregon, which is not cited for severe storms, but I was genuinely caught “off guard” last week when a severe thunderstorm with a big amount of hail blew through. Severe weather may take place almost anywhere! Shortly after the storm, I ordered one of these weather alert radios to keep me more conscious of any local hazard that could pose a threat.
