 Astronomy - A giant surprise - Ken Croswell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Giant stars with planets often have smaller amounts of heavy elements than the Sun, say astronomers in the United States and Germany.
The many main sequence stars around which astronomers have detected planets usually have about the same mass as the Sun, and their spectral types are generally F, G, or K. In contrast, Schuler's team estimates HD 13189 is 2 to 6 times more massive than the Sun.
Thus, before it became a giant, HD 13189 was a main sequence star of spectral type A or B, similar to Vega or Regulus.

 Tiny Weevil Beats Back Giant Salvinia
Giant salvinia is notorious for its presence in slow-moving, quiet freshwater systems.
Researchers at the ARS Invasive Plant Research Laboratory in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, have shown it to be an extremely effective biocontrol agent for giant salvinia.
By September 2003, giant salvinia covered just 1 percent of the water's surface at sites where weevils were released, but it covered 100 percent of the surface at the control sites.

The giant planet in orbit around HD 47536 probably is starting to witness some dramatic events.
However, in the later phase of their lives, when the stars become giants, they slow down considerably and scientists then have a much better chance of detecting possible exoplanets in orbit around them.
With over 70 other giant stars still under close scrutiny, the ESO team is working hard to sift through the observational data.

If you're one of those who loves their magazine, you'll take pride in the fact that you knew them when they were still an old school zine of stapled fl and white photocopies.
If you're one of those who hate the magazine, most likely they became repulsive to you after the sex issue since that is the one that generated most of their detractors.
Giant Robot [by the way, they just released a zine of overflow articles from issue #17 called Robot Power] and the other zines I've mentioned here definitely make their own stories.

Giant Red Spot in background, one of Jupiter's moon in foreground with eclipse shadow cast on gas giant.
In the new work, the researchers turned their attention to the cores of the giant planets of our solar system--Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune--and two recently discovered extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, found elsewhere in the Milky Way.
The interiors of the icy giants Uranus and Neptune don't exhibit such extremes of temperature and pressure, and so post-perovskite would survive in their cores, she said.

The new giants are interesting variants on existing standard giants, the Amazon, for example is slightly larger than human (8-9 feet) and all female, the male of the species are killed at birth at a ration of 2 out of every three and the remainder developed and coddled, used merely for reproductive means.
Nightmare Giants are a race of giants that fled to the Ethereal Plane and have become master manipulators, striking from the safety of the ethereal.
These templates handle the giant passions of these creatures like the Avarice Giant who tears apart mountains in search of gold and treasure or the Envy Giant who are undead creatures jealous of all living creatures.

 Fontaine is Giant Editor in Chief   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Men's bimonthly Giant has hired Smokey Fontaine to become its new editor in chief, marking a new direction for the magazine as it tries to upgrade its design and visibility to become an A-list entertainment news source.
That said, Giant's sell-through average is just 15 percent based on a newsstand draw of 250,000, well below the industry average of around 30 percent for an established title and high 20s to low 30s for a newer magazine.
However, Hooper counters the magazine sold 50,000 copies at newsstand during the period, for a sell through closer to 20 percent based on a 250,000 newsstand draw.

But the latest men's magazine isn't following that ballyhooed formula, even though the top editors at Giant are refugees of some of the laddiest of the lad mags - Stuff and Maxim.
Giant, which recently hit the streets, is a fresh celebration of all things pop cultural, but one of its strengths is that it's not grounded only in the moment.
Giant already has 100,000 subscribers, and printed another 350,000 copies for newsstands.

While still pretending to be an entertainment magazine, it's a mix of the worst of "Interview," "Vibe," and "Cargo." The fanboy fun is gone.

 Giant Sand: Cover Magazine - PopMatters Music Review
In the mid-'90s, journalists, cognizant of a burgeoning scene comprised of a contingent of artists including Jayhawks, Bottlerockets, Son Volt and Wilco -- bands bred on the ethos of punk rock and country -- felt compelled to fulfill their duties and christen this movement with an identifiable, "creative" categorization.
From Black Sabbath to Sonny and Cher to X to Goldfrapp, Cover Magazine evokes both the campfire-spook ambiance of 1995's BBQ and the subtle beauty of their 2000 masterpiece, Chore of Enchantment.
Giant Sand begins Cover Magazine with Marty Robbin's "El Paso" on a delicate, restrained note -- accompanied by barroom piano and El-Mariachi-style guitar plucking, Gelb barely raises his voice above a whisper.

 In Music We Trust - Giant Sand: Cover Magazine
Giant Sand's cover of the classic Black Sabbath "Iron Man" ranks up there as one of the most original covers ever, as Gelb and company strip away the metal and completely rebuild it, turning it into a dark, smoky lounge piece.
Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand" transcends into an eerie folk song when Giant Sand gets their hands on it, and Johnny Cash's "I'm Leaving Now (Adios)" is a bouncy shuffle, an old-time rock 'n' roll piece not unlike what Chuck Berry would have done if his songs were darker.
Giant Sand creates a cover album that is unlike any cover album with Cover Magazine, giving you the sense that they really thought about the song choices and how they could re-do them before they put the songs to tape.
