Blip-A docks with Hail Mary, and the two ships establish first contact. The other ship indicates that its home system in 40 Eridani is also plagued by Astrophage infection. Hail Mary soon reaches Tau Ceti, and is approached by an alien starship, which Grace names "Blip-A". Grace finds that his crew members have died en route, and gives them a space burial. As the mission proceeds, Grace deduces his situation while his memory returns gradually. Ryland Grace emerges from his coma with no memory of his identity or situation. Grace threatens sabotage, so a sedative is administered to him before launch, with a temporary amnesia-inducing drug set to be administered shortly before he awakens. With no time to train a replacement, Stratt asks Grace to join the mission. Stratt tasks Grace to train the science experts for the mission, but the science experts are killed in an Astrophage-induced explosion shortly before launch. Since the crew of three astronauts will travel under a coma to avoid psychiatric issues, potential astronauts are restricted to people with coma-resistant genes, including Grace. Stratt orders the release of methane from Antarctica to reduce global cooling, but the threat of famine and wars over food on Earth remains for the 26 years that the Hail Mary mission is expected to take. Hail Mary can only be fueled and supplied for a one-way trip, making it a suicide mission. An Astrophage-fueled starship, the Hail Mary, is developed to travel to Tau Ceti to obtain knowledge of Astrophage resistance, and to return the findings to Earth with unmanned mini-ships ("beetles", with each named after their respective Beatle counterpart). Other scientists discover that Astrophage employs mass–energy conversion via neutrinos, and can be mass-bred for use as rocket fuel.Īstronomy data reveals that Astrophage has also infected and dimmed nearby stars, but one star, Tau Ceti, has unexpectedly resisted Astrophage infection. Grace subsequently discovers that Astrophage reproduces by feeding on the heat of the Sun and carbon dioxide on Venus. Since the organism consumes energy from the Sun, Grace names it "Astrophage" ( Greek for "star eater"). He discovers that the single-celled organism consumes all forms of electromagnetic radiation and uses radiant energy to move. Stratt nominates Ryland Grace, a teacher and former molecular biologist, as the first person to study a sample of the organism recovered from Venus, as she views him as expendable and his research as a molecular biologist had predicted the type of life the sample is suspected to be. The world's governments cooperate, giving former European Space Agency (ESA) administrator Eva Stratt unilateral authority and legal immunity to solve the problem. A space probe is used to discover that the line appears to contain alien microbes. The exponential rate of dimming is calculated to result in a catastrophic ice age within 30 years. In the near future, a global dimming event is observed, coinciding with the formation of a bright line from the Sun to Venus. This story is frequently intercut with flashbacks revealing earlier events leading up to the launch of the Hail Mary. The story follows two storylines, each told chronologically, starting with the story on board the spacecraft Hail Mary where Ryland Grace regains his memory in bursts. Drew Goddard (who adapted The Martian, Weir's traditional publishing debut, into a 2015 film) is slated to adapt the book into a film, in which actor Ryan Gosling plans to star as Grace. Film rights have been purchased by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The unabridged audiobook is read by Ray Porter. It received generally positive reviews, and was a finalist for the 2022 Hugo Award for Best Novel. He gradually remembers that he was sent to the Tau Ceti solar system, 12 light-years from Earth, to find a means of reversing a solar dimming event that could cause the extinction of humanity. Set in the near future, it centers on junior high (middle) school-teacher-turned- astronaut Ryland Grace, who wakes up from a coma afflicted with amnesia. Project Hail Mary is a 2021 science fiction novel by American novelist Andy Weir. 2021 Dragon Award for Best Science Fiction Novel

Jeff Weiss Honorable POW Recordings Mention: Gabe Nandez, “Scumbag” I just said that she lives in Minneapolis and that she’s what I imagined music and culture would sound like in 2024. To be honest, I couldn’t quite articulate it because some people are irreducible to easy summaries. When she played at the POW Festival, at least four people went up to me mildly perplexed and blown away, asking who she was and what’s her story. It’s braless music, which sounds a little strange to type, but not when you watch the video and understand that it’s intended to conjure it’s own sense of freedom - apart from arbitrary delineations of past perceptions or previous lines in the sand. It’s like a cosmic tundra float hovering between FKA Twigs, The Internet, and Princess Nokia, but located entirely on its own evolutionary coordinate. The beats slink somewhere in the constellation next to electronic, but it’s not dance music. She sings in an opiated liminal state, but it’s not quite R&B. Ness raps but this isn’t exactly hip-hop. She coined the phrase “bra-less music” to describe her sound, and it’s far more accurate than any trite adjective or narrowly defined genre tag. If Ness Nite didn’t exist, only the future could have created her. EVAN GABRIEL Honorable POW Recordings Mention: Ness Nite (feat. Sometimes, hypnosis happens simply through the repetition of a strange phrase. Fat blunts and dirty Fanta supplant any semblance of a conscience. Nü Age brethren Kent Loon feigns dizziness, bending corners, and careens towards destructive pleasure. There’s the uneasiness of being too high while sitting still for too long. Promoters get the abridged rider, and the fast pace of Chester’s nascent career bleeds in between snare crashes: “Should be on a flight out to Belgium, but missed it fucking with this chick back in Berlin, I’m slipping, room swirling, I’m sippin still.” But the orchestral, pendulum-swinging stabs in the distance cloak the atmosphere in uncertainty. The bonus track on the hallucinatory Spring Mirage, “Khaki Loafers” might sound eerily similar to a ton of rap beats. With their brushes dipped in only a few colors, Chester Watson and Kent Loon paint one of the most menacing and astute distortions of 2016. JEFF WEISS Honorable POW Recordings Mention: Chester Watson & Kent Loon, “Khaki Loafers” The thing that makes you unsure what Tye will do next - unload the clip on the audience or himself. Beyond the AK-47 rap chops and the haunted devil baritone singing, there’s that intangible quality. Authenticity is overrated, but if you’re going to buy into an artist, you need to believe the character. What could easily become histrionic instead becomes harrowing. Someone who’s aware that if you reveal a gun in the first act, it has to go off in the third. It documents the 22-year old, ex-basketball star-turned-opera-scholarship-singer turned psychedelic suicide street rap ascendant, spiting in double-time, searching for his soul while clutching a semi-automatic. If you read Jon Tanners’ excellent profile of the Dallas rapper, you can learn the background of the psychological breakdown that led to its creation. It plays out like the “Codeine Crazy” video crossed with Don Giovanni crossed with Z-Ro. With all due respect to the duo of Gosling and Stone, “La La Land” from T.Y.E is the only “La La Land” we acknowledge. Honorable POW Recordings Mention: T.Y.E, “La La Land” Especially that person you’re thinking of. In case you disagree, I recently spoke to the ghost of Big L and he applauded us for leaving off everyone we left off. If we didn’t believe they deserved a spot on the regular list, we wouldn’t be putting out their music in the first place. Before our top 50 songs of the year, we’ve included a standout song from each of POW Recordings’ rap or rap-adjacent artists. In the interest of including as many deserving artists as possible and for the sake of variety, album-oriented rappers (Isaiah Rashad, Ka, Kendrick, Aesop Rock) appear on the albums list, but not here. Hence, this list skews towards rappers who made singles with videos that played on the YouTube Rap City of your imagination. He played in many clubs and venues, anywhere that would book him and his band. There has been much speculation on which songs, if any, Buddy wrote regarding the loss of his first real love.Īfter graduating in 1955, Buddy pursued a professional career in music. Buddy and Echo dated through school until Echo left him for a fellow student. It was also in High School that Buddy met his first love, Echo McGuire. He met fellow musicians Jerry Allison, Sonny Curtis and Bobby Montgomery who he became close friends, and eventually band mates. In his Senior year, he was the Vice President of the Vocational Industrial Club of Industrial Co-operative Training.īut more importantly, were the connections he made at Lubbock High. He graduated from the historic Lubbock High School in 1955. He liked the Fender’s loud sound, and he was one of the very few artists at the time who played the avant-garde, futuristic-looking instrument.īuddy attended Roscoe Wilson Elementary and J.T. When it came time for Buddy to choose his electric guitar, he chose Fender over the more widely-known Gibson. However, it was Travis who taught Buddy how to play. When oldest brother Larry returned from the service, he brought a guitar home for his little brother. His parents bought him a steel guitar, but what he really wanted was an acoustic like Larry and Travis had. When Buddy was 11, he took piano lessons, but was more interested in learning the guitar. Buddy’s hometown of Lubbock is forever synonymous with his legacy and he will always be known as the Pride and Joy of the city. His first and middle names (Charles Hardin) came from his two grandfathers: Charles Wesley Drake and John Hardin Holley.ġ936 was also the year of the Texas Centennial Celebrations in Dallas. 1925), Travis Don Holley (1927-2016) and one older sister, Patricia Lou Kaiter (1929-2008)īuddy was born on Labor Day in Lubbock, TX at around 3:30 in the afternoon. He had two older brothers: Lawrence Odell “Larry” Holley Jr., (b. His father was Lawrence Odell “L.O.” Holley (1901-1985) and his mother was Ella Pauline Holley (née Drake, 1902-1990). He paved the way for many musicians such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Elton John, and countless others who emulated his unique style.īorn Charles Hardin Holley on September 7, 1936, “Buddy” (as his family called him early on) was the youngest of four children. When one thinks of Buddy Holly, an iconic picture of the 1950’s arises along with some of the best music from the decade (and, quite possibly, some of the best music of all time) But Buddy Holly was not just a popular act of the past, he was a pioneer of Rock n Roll. Today we remember the greatest musician of all time and my favorite person who ever walked the Earth: Buddy Holly.

Stellariumįor a complete list of all remaining eclipses and occultations (even the impossible ones), stop by the British Astronomical Association's (BAA) Jovian moons mutual event pages - one for eclipses and another for occultations. There are several tables out there, but I've found these to be the most reliable. I = Io, II = Europa, III = Ganymede and IV = Callisto. View of Jupiter and moons during the eclipse of Europa by Io on April 13th. After May, it's a long 6 years to the next season opener. They're the best easy-to-see events for the remainder of Jupiter's apparition. That probably won't be necessary with the events I've listed below because they all involve fades of one full magnitude or more. You can judge brightness changes by comparing the moon undergoing eclipse or occultation to one that's not. Make sure your clock is set correctly and begin observing a good 5 minutes before an eclipse begins or 10 minutes before an occultation, so you can watch the two moons merge. From left: Io eclipsing Europa April 13th Callisto occulting Ganymede April 17th and another Io eclipse on April 20th. The eclipsed moon began at normal brightness, dropped a very obvious 2.4 magnitudes at deepest partial eclipse, and returned to normal all in the span of four minutes! Simulations of three fine upcoming mutual events. It was the deepest event of the entire season.Ī very nice eclipse of Europa by Io during the last mutual event series in September 2009.Ī week later on March 16th I was thrilled to see Ganymede pick on Europa again. "I saw an Europa total eclipse by Ganymede tonight, (a) remarkable event with the intense phase happening in a couple of minutes, including Europa completely disappearing." Europa, normally magnitude +5.3, faded by more than four magnitudes to +9.6 under Ganymede's shadow. WinJuposĪmateur astronomer Giorgio Rizzarelli of Italy was caught off-guard by the depth of an eclipse of Europa by Ganymede on the evening of March 9th: Simulation of the March 9th deep eclipse of Europa by Ganymede. A dip of at least a magnitude is much easier to detect and far more dramatic. You have to pay close attention and carefully compare the fading satellite's brightness with another nearby moon to convince yourself you're seeing it. Since the events last only a few minutes at most, the change is subtle. The eye can detect a drop of 0.5 magnitude during an eclipse or merger of two moons in a mutual occultation, but experience shows this is a lower limit. The current run began last September and ends in July. Now, as the four Galilean moons slowly break their neat alignment with us, deep events are becoming few and far between. Mutual event seasons occur every six years when the orbital plane of the four Galilean moons is edge-on with that of the Sun and Earth. April is really the last good month to catch the easy-to-see ones. Jupiter's moons will continue to occult and eclipse one another until the planet is lost in the solar glare this summer, but the average depth of the events diminishes with every week that goes by. The vagaries of weather and event times have limited my own opportunities to fewer than a handful. Maybe you've been fortunate and seen some of the more dramatic mutual occultations and eclipses of Jupiter's moons this season. See them soon or wait six more years! Mutual satellite events can occur in any of six ways, depending on slight differences in the moon's angular sizes and relative positions. Jupiter's four brightest moons continue to eclipse and occult one another, but time is running out.

These are set in yet another milieu, and feature the "G3" ponies: TitleĪ direct to video release, it was not sold on its own but packaged with some of the early "G3" characters. Most of them were produced by SD Entertainment. Media Direct-to-video animated features īetween 20, the ponies appeared in a series of direct-to-video shorts and feature-length films. Despite the redesign as "G3.5" and the advent of the " G4" line, Hasbro continued the collector-themed "G3" ponies in their original poses. Another is a pink pony with a breast cancer awareness ribbon. There is also a white pony available to customizers. The 2011 SDCC pony is black and pink and has a kawaii skull instead of a "cutie mark". These ponies are elaborately designed, such as the underwater-themed art pony which has fish and sea creatures printed all over its body, and come in matching display boxes. While some had a general release as "Art Ponies", many are available through special events, such as the annual My Little Pony Collector's Convention and the San Diego Comic Con. Recognizing the older fans of its line, Hasbro has released special collector ponies noticeably different from the regular "G3". The following year in 2009, in a move referred by collectors as "Generation 3.5", Hasbro redesigned the characters to resemble Ponyville figurines. In 2008, the number of characters were reduced to seven: Pinkie Pie, Scootaloo, Toola-Roola, Rainbow Dash, Sweetie Belle, Cheerilee and Starsong thus collectors referring the revamp as "Core 7". Although they have their own playsets and accessories, many of the characters are the same as their larger counterparts. The Ponyville figurines are fully molded plastic and smaller than the main "G3" line. Other limited-edition ponies have been the Pony Project promotional ponies and Rosey Posey, who was given to attendees at a charity dinner held by Hasbro. Due to a packaging error, a few were packaged as regular ponies and sold in stores. A Pinkie Pie with the words "2003 Licensing Show" embedded into her symbol was used to promote the My Little Pony toy line at the 2003 Spring Licensing Show, and were intended to be released only at that show in a limited edition of 300. One of the most uncommon ponies in this third line was released by mistake in 2004. and Europe, there are a few ponies unavailable in the U.S., such as Winter Snow and some small, fairy-like ponies called Breezies who first appeared in the animated feature The Princess Promenade. While the line was simultaneously released in the U.S. The points program ended on 31 January 2006. Other merchandise included posters or a play mat to put buildings on. Some of the ponies available with the Pony Points program were Dazzle Surprise, Sunshimmer and Love Wishes. Unlike the "G1" line, the Pony Points had to be mailed in to order a customer could not pay a flat fee and add points to it to lower the price. Until late 2005, packaging came with Pony Points that were later used for exclusive mail orders. Only Earth Ponies were released from 2003 to 2005, but in 20 Pegasus Ponies and Unicorn Ponies were respectively introduced. "Generation Three" is set in the fictional town of Ponyville, which is centered on Celebration Castle. A series of direct-to-video animated films (mostly produced by SD Entertainment) accompanied the line-up. Until the generation's end in 2009, there have been at least two minor revamps. This particular era is often unofficially referred to as "Generation Three" or "G3" by collectors. The revamped line of dolls was targeted to a younger audience than the previous lines.

In particular, I haven’t attempted to cover spring/guide/seat replacements (cause I didn’t do it!). Please comment and I’ll try to make updates with your suggestions. Hopefully this DIY will save people from some of the exhaustive searching that I did. Also, try to go for some wheel rotations.S2Ki has seen a lot of great info on cracked valve retainers, but there’s never been a comprehensive DIY for replacing them. It should always afford you the perfect balance. Once it is tightened, you are done! After you are done, you have to test it.Ĭheck the bead here. After a while, you will see it is tightened. Here, you will need to maintain the right specification too. Also, while installing the new valve core, you must make sure that you are rotating it clockwise. Now you are ready for adding a new valve core to the tire! All you need to do is go through the same process reversed. It’s better to wear the necessary protection from the beginning.

Fifty years ago, if you had a spare 5,000 burning a hole in your pocket, you could go out and buy yourself a brand-new, absolutely stunning, obvious future classic: a Corvette. Though the car already has an impressive engine, there are a few modifications you can make to improve performance and handling. We love Supras, in fact, take a look at this beauty in our Garage… 9. Some people have even gone as far as to replicate The Fast and the Furious. The Supra has been a modder’s dream car since forever, and some take them on tracks, to car shows and others will make them race cars! There’s a whole host of opportunities with a Toyota Supra. There are countless parts and add-ons available, giving you endless options for modification. It’s hard to spot a Supra on the road that hasn’t been modified, and for good reason. You’ll never find a Supra Turbo for super cheap, however, if you’re lucky, it is possible to find a Supra for around £9k. There are fewer of them available on the general market, but if you’re willing to wait for a gem, it could be ideal. The Mazda RX-7 is also exciting visually as you can make it look similar to a high-end performance car. In this article, we’ll highlight 7 of the best cheap tuner cars under 5k and what makes them great picks for tuners on a budget. With the Mazda RX-7’s powerful engine, there are immediate enhancements you can make to balance the stock engine with the potentially underperforming older parts with newer and uprated ones, such as brakes and coil overs. However, in the RX-7, you can increase power without making excessive modifications thanks to its Wankel Rotary engine. Starting at around £5k or £6k for an older model, this project car isn’t on the cheaper side. Take a look at this stunning modified MX5 in our Garage… 6. Clean Dodge Neon SRT-4 models with moderate to high mileage are around a paltry 6,000. You will not have to break the bank, either. If you have an interest in a cheap American tuner, this car is for you. They’re cars loved by the JDM community, the sports car community and the entire car community in general. Besides weighing under 3,000 lbs, the Neon SRT-4 had a great power-to-weight ratio and an elegant boy-racer exterior. The Mazda MX-5 is an incredibly popular mod car, as it’s a relatively simple base with many, many opportunities to add your own spin to it. Of course, this rises considerably the newer the model, but the MX-5 remains an all round popular car to modify. There is a multitude of body kits, spoilers, splitters and wheels available for a reasonable price. Mazda MX5ĭepending on age and condition, the MX-5 is another car that’s perfect for smaller budgets, starting at around £1500. OK, so it’ll be a bit of a handful through the front wheels at low speeds, but then again, does that much power come much cheaper? We don’t think so.A post shared by Richard Underwood □ 5. Bringing your 306bhp, 2003-model C70 up to a grand total cost of around £1,800. The cost? Usually somewhere around the £500 mark. The standard car comes with 237bhp, but with a simple remap from a tuner like Rica, that can be bumped up by a faintly astonishing 69bhp. Dcouvre des vidos en rapport avec cheap tuner cars sur TikTok. Which leaves the C70 as one of the performance bargains of the moment. That kind of money can get you a ratty 325is, or a four. So why so cheap? Simple, really: people who want a coupe don’t fancy a Volvo and those who want a Volvo would rather have an estate. Though prices are on the rise, it's still easy to find a good E30-generation 3-Series for under 5000. But you still get all that cosseting Swedish-style comfort. Yes, there was once a time when those two words wouldn’t sit well together, but the C70 changed all that. For something altogether classier, how’s about this rather handsome. Of course, whether you pick the Forester or the Impreza, the main caveats of Subaru ownership have always been cheap styling and a low-rent interior. |
