Natalie Merchant - a selection
Sun May 13, 2012 4:52 PM EDT
One of the things that makes me really like about certain music is texture (yeah I know, hard to describe). Something that makes the piece more than just a collection of people playing the music. It really is what allows me to enjoy many different forms of music, such as j …

Well we all like to talk about missions to the planets in our solar system, but in between two of them is enough material to form another planet, but it never quite was able to form, probably because one of those two planets, Jupiter's, has enough of a gravitational pull that kep …

Fri Mar 16, 2012 7:37 PM EDT
I am not sure how to credit this, but here goes... For those that may not have guessed, I do read a lot, and in that reading, it isn't often that a 'letter' to the editor 'hits me' but the March 17-23, 2012 issue of the Economist has a 'letter' that really did, somewhat in a comb …
