The remaining systems within ten light years are the binary red dwarf system Luyten 726-8 (8.7 light years) and the solitary red dwarf Ross 154 (9.7 light years). Our closest solitary sun-like star is Tau Ceti, which lies 11.9 light years away. It has roughly 80 percent the Sun's mass, but only 60 percent its luminosity. The closest known extrasolar planet to the Sun lies around the star Epsilon Eridani, a star slightly dimmer and redder than the Sun, which lies 10.5 light years away. Its one confirmed planet, Epsilon Eridani b, is roughly 1.5 times Jupiter's mass and orbits [...]

Moka is preparing a big end of decade list, so I thought I make few companion lists along with it. A look back and summary for where MdM has gone. Ani DiFranco - Cloud Blood To the Teeth ( Righteous Babe. 1999 ) To the Teeth is the last album I remember buying because I heard it on radio. I had been driving all day when this song come in and air changes. It is not just another tune, but [...]

.... She dives into the lake and comes up with her head covered in muck and great kelpy strands of green pond slime - and beaming in a way that practically radiates out over the face of the lake and the desert. She has surfaced euphoric - ‘Ooooooh! It sparkles!’ -Pulling her long strands of slime-slithering hair outward with her hands and grokking and freaking over it - ‘Ooooooh! It sparkles!’ -The beads of water on her slime strands are like diamonds to her, and everybody feels her feeling at once, even Sandy - ‘Ooooooh! [...]

Serious music, for comparative purposes, may be thus characterized: Every detail derives its musical sense from the concrete totality of the piece which, in turn, consists of the life relationship of the details and never of a mere enforcement of a musical scheme. For example, in the introduction of the first movement of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony the second theme (in C-major) gets its true meaning only from the context. Only through the whole does it acquire its particular lyrical and expressive quality — that is, a whole built up of its very contrast with the cantus firmus-like character of the [...]

Jerk is a method of cooking meats that comes from the original inhabitants of Jamaica, the Arawaks. They roasted meats over fires of pimento wood from the allspice tree. Pimento wood gave a distinctive flavor to the meat and is still used for jerk grilling in Jamaica. Jerk marinades and rubs are often quite spicy with Scotch bonnet peppers. Recipes vary widely, but true jerk seasoning contains allspice. This recipe is for chicken, but pork, goat and even fish are also jerked. [ Recipes ]. " TGIF ! " 01. Laurel Aitken [...]

I sprinted two blocks from my vehicle’s perch above the roaring Schuylkill River into the dry refuge of the Church just in time for Uzeda. Though they looked like your parents (even your parents’ parents- these Sicilians have been kicking it off-time rhythms and angular guitar style for the better part of two decades), Uzeda, in a verb, rocked. The drummer played the part of straight man, slamming out serious halting rhythms, while the bassist never once let his smile slip. He was the cheeriest Sicilian I’ve ever seen at the Church. The singer stood and shook with every howl, [...]

For aLe! Is the music noise or is the noise music? Does it exist a point that divides one from the other? And if it exists, where is it found? I don't know, but for me, the music is only a combination of noises and silences (the melody, harmony and rhythm are properties constructed by us).

The men slowly toured the perimeter of the house, taking notes and photographs, like archeologists mapping out a ruin. Upon opening the back door, Vasquez observed that there was just enough space to squeeze past the refrigerator blocking the exit. The air smelled of burned rubber and melted wires; a damp ash covered the ground, sticking to their boots. In the kitchen, Vasquez and Fogg discerned only smoke and heat damage—a sign that the fire had not originated there—and so they pushed deeper into the nine-hundred-and-seventy-five- square-foot building. A central corridor led past a utility room and the master bedroom, then [...]

If you think this tragedy is over think again. There are still families out there in corners of this country trying to figure out what they are going to do to get their lives back to some normalcy. There are so many musicians who were well known in New Orleans that are totally unknown where they are now. Imagine building your fanbase or your work base in your workplace and suddenly it all disappears. - Jeff Beninato Professor Longhair Big Chief ( Big Chief / 2002) [...]

I think one of the important evolutions is that we no longer feel compulsively the need to argue, or to justify things on a kind of rational level. We are much more willing to admit that certain things are completely instinctive and others are really intellectual. - Rem Koolhaas " Revisiting 1997 " 01.

Photo: Mr. Lomo Unrhymed, unrhytmical, the chatter goes: Yet no one hear his own remarks as prose. Beneath eac topic tunelessly discussed The ground-bass is reciprocal mistrut. The names in fashion shuttling to and fro Yield, when deciphered, messages of woe. You cannot read me like an open book. I'm more myself than you will ever look. Will no one listen to my little song?
