Ender's Game. . . .the band!

I just found this band on-line named Ender's Game. I downloaded one of their songs entitled "Stand Alone" and they are really good. The music is melodic and hard at the same time. The only problem that I have with them is there vocalist. He is very mono-tone. But fortunately they are looking for a new singer. If you want to check them out go to: http://endersgametheband.com/index.php

Now, as for the reunion:

These are the final plans.
1. The date of the reunion is set to the 21st and the 22nd of this month.
2. Everyone will meet at the Suncoast in the mall at 3:00 pm.
3. After everyone meets at the Suncoast we will all go to Shilo's hotel room.
4. For those of you coming late, meet us at the room any time.
5. Prepare to get drunk.

That's about all that needs to be said. Here's hoping to see you all there.

A Question Brought On By Newton Coincidentally

A Question Brought On By Newton Coincidentally
By Gregory Shields


If a tree falls in the woods with no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?

This is a question that is often argued over for hours between my friends and I so I am writing this to answer it once and for all.

The dicitionary describes the word sound as "vibrations transmitted through an elastic solid or a liquid or gas, with frequencies in the approximate range of 20 to 20,000 hertz, capable of being detected by human organs of hearing." If this is the case then a person is not required for a sound to be made, only something that causes vibrations with frequencies in the range of 20 to 20,000 herts. A tree that falls in an area with a person close enough to hear makes a sound, so one would percieve a tree of being capable of creating sound as a constant because if it could make vibrations once, it will always be able to.

If this is true then a tree that falls in the woods with no one around to hear it will absolutely make a sound. The only way that a tree could fall without making a sound would be if it was in the vacuum of space where there is no significant amount of gas to create vibrations in which to make a sound.

That is my final answer. If there is anyone with an arguement to my answer then I would gladly listen to it. Just make sure that you are not a falling tree so I can hear it.
