Hey, Listen to THIS!

I was just having fun yelling at you :-)

Pete Townshend on iPods

“Who guitarist Pete Townshend is warning iPod users they may face hearing loss if they pump up the volume on the devices.

“Townshend, 60, said his hearing was irreversibly damaged from using studio headphones, and he now takes 36-hour breaks between recording sessions. The band was known for loud performances. “ "Hearing loss is a terrible thing because it cannot be repaired," Townshend said on his website. "If you use an iPod or anything like it, or your child uses one, you may be OK. But my intuition tells me there is terrible trouble ahead."

Explaination on one of the questions in this show:

Water vapor in the air increases this speed slightly. Sound travels faster through warm air than through cold air. This is to be expected because the faster-moving molecules in warm air bump into each other more often and therefore transmit a pulse in less time. For each degree rise in temperature above 0 degrees C, the speed of sound in air increases by 0.6 meters per second. In water, sound travels about four times as fast as it does in air, while in steel, the speed of sound is about fifteen times as great as in air.

Some Do's and Don'ts on Feeding the Birds ( I love to feed the Birds out on our deck!)

A hanging feeder with sunflower seeds will attract numerous birds, but don't forget a suet feeder for the woodpeckers, nuthatches, titmice and chickadees, and a ground or tray-type feeder with cracked corn or mixed seed for cardinals, doves, juncos, sparrows and others that prefer feeding from the ground.

Water is a great attraction for birds, even in winter. A heating element for birdbaths will prevent freezing.

Placing a feeder near shrubs or other shelters will make birds feel safer. Ground feeders should be near cover such as a brush pile. A fence around the ground feeder may be necessary if cats begin hiding in the nearby cover.
