Half Asleep Lyrics - Pascale Picard Band
The worlds not gonna end
I made this promise to me
Repeating to myself 12 times a day
Nobody loves no one, anyway
But someone is still crying
In a corner of my head
& if you believe me when I say I'm alright
This week is gonna end
Make this promise to me
Calling me 12 times a day
But I know what you're about to say
'Cause you may be whispering
But in the corner of my head
The voice is clear, will you be alright?
The more that I hope. the more I keep waiting
sponsored linksThe more I get old
In a hurry. I'd rather fix up my mind soon
The more I keep Waiting, the more I fall back
It seems like I'll never get held
By someone, someone exactly like me
What if we bend?
Breaking all the promises we made
Juggling with words 12 hours a day
12 more and my life's away
'Cause this voice is running in circles
In a corner of my head
Making me dizzy but it feels so right...
The more that I hope...

Perhaps the highlight of many positives in the Detroit Pistons' season-opening win was the play of starting guards Will Bynum and Chauncey Billups. But as we know, with injured guards Brandon Jennings and Rodney Stuckey returning to the lineup at some point, could soon be broken up in favor of some as-yet undetermined combination. So how can Jennings and Stuckey not mess up what Bynum and Billups started? I discussed copying their blueprint in today's column for the Detroit Free Press:
Bynum has never been viewed as starting point guard material by the Pistons. He's inconsistent, occasionally plays a little too fast and he doesn't excel as a traditional halfcourt, pass-first point guard. But there are two point guard-like things that he does exceedingly well — he's a good drive-and-kick player and he's a good pick-and-roll player. Those two things happen to fit perfectly with the Pistons' bigs.
We've seen how good he is in the pick and roll with Drummond since last season. And on drives, Drummond, Monroe and Smith are all great at slipping to the basket if their man cheats off of them to attempt to stop Bynum's penetration. Bynum is a good passer when he's on the move, so he usually finds them. The team's backup forwards, Jonas Jerebko and Kyle Singler, are also good at making cuts to the basket, so Bynum's ability to find players will come in handy whether he starts or comes off the bench.
Bynum will be a decent contributor with some ups and downs, no matter his role. The important thing for the Pistons is whether Jennings can replicate the masterful way Bynum both used his bigs to create shots for himself and set up good opportunities for them in the first game. Like Bynum, Jennings is a good ball-handler with a quick first step, so if he's as committed as proving himself as a good distributing point guard as he's said he is, he can easily replicate the success Bynum had in the opening game by simply attacking his man off the dribble, using screens well and always looking for cutting big men.
Or, a more succinct version of that column: USE YOUR BIGS, JENNINGS AND STUCKEY!

Easing nighttime insanity.

Easing nighttime insanity.
(Source: Spotify)
"Well look who I ran into," crowed Coincidence.
"Please," flirted Fate, "this was meant to be."
I'm reading the great and inimitable Moby-Dick by Herman Melville for the first time.
This American classic never made it onto my Australian childhood literary list, and so now, called and compelled, I find myself diving into a strange and splendid world, the weighty star of which, is not the Leviathan himself, but perhaps the most extraordinary assembly of words I have ever seen.
I submit the delight passage below, a scene from Chapter 34, The Cabin-Table, as evidence of this verbal riot:
"It was a sight to see Queequeg seated over against Tashtego, opposing his filed teeth to the Indian's: crosswire to them, Daggoo seated on the floor, for a bench would have brought his hearse-plumed head to the low carlines; at every motion of his colossal limbs, making the low cabin framework to shake, as when an African elephant goes passenger in a ship. But for all this, the great negro was wonderfully abstemious, not to say dainty. It seemed hardly possible that by such comparatively small mouthfuls he could keep up the vitality diffused through so broad, baronial, and superb a person. But, doubtless, this noble savage fed strong and drank deep of the abounding element of air; and through his dilated nostrils snuffed in the sublime life of the worlds. Not by beef or by bread, are giants made or nourished. But Queequeg, he had a mortal, barbaric smack of the lip in eating––an ugly sound enough––so much so, that the trembling Dough-Boy almost looked to see whether any marks of teeth lurked in his own lean arms. And when he would hear Tashtego singing out for him to produce himself, that his bones might be picked, the simple-witted steward all but shattered the crockery hanging round him in the pantry, by his sudden fits of the palsy. Nor did the whetstone which the harpooneers carried in their pockets, for their lances and other weapons; and with their knives; that grating sound did not at all tend to tranquilize poor Dough-Boy. How could he forget that in his Island Days, Queequeg, for one, must certainly have been guilty of some murderous, convivial indiscretions. Alas! Dough-Boy! hard fares the white waiter who waits upon cannibals."
Despite the stirring in my heart caused by grand words on a page, I haven't made it past the second page of Moby-Dick. The same song plays in my ears on repeat, repeat… repeat. Hoping the echoes of a single, soulful tune will haunt me like a friendly ghost of someone we wish was still here.
I'm distracted, a walking, traveling contradiction. What journey is this in the past two weeks, you ask? In the past year?
Well, it's back to the motherland, if you think it important. Back to the West coast, the Left coast, and maybe, the Best coast. No, it's not for new love that I return, but for the loss of the old.
My godmother died just over a week ago. In losing her, my mother's best friend, the feeling should have been immediate: grief.
But what can I say about grief when we make no time to grieve? This is not an ode to time and the scarcity of it, but I can't help but shake my head. A whole week has passed and we just haven't had time, or made time, to be yet. We willingly put the myriad of life duties, work, errands, arrangements in front of the time needed to sit still in a quiet, green place and weep.
On the move, I am fast, nimble, numb. Don't let me be still, for it'll all become clear, crystal, and I'll feel the weight of it.
Perhaps it's that ancient protest in the face of death. The need to keep time with the beat of my own heart, pounding in the deep. Put your head to my chest, hold me tight, please, and you'll hear it: life, life, life, life.
Of course there is the difficulty of saying of the word itself. Death. Died. She died. I can do it now. But mostly it has been "she passed away", "she left us", like she's just stepped into the next room.
Why are you going back to California?
Because someone died.
Oh. Ugh. Well now this conversation sucks.
And what of the setting of death for the aged in this society of ours? Nursing homes. Hospitals. Assisted living facilities. The nicest surrounds, the friendliest, helpful faces do little to diminish the purview of death. When visiting, there is nowhere to breathe in and prepare; on the way out, there is nowhere to cry but on quiet, leafy streets, nothing to do but shoulder your bag and find the nearest Starbucks and wait, for coffee, then wine, to do its thing.
We'll all go through and leave this life of ours. Change, the only constant. Death, the only certainty. It was cancer. Breast cancer that she fought, defeated for a time, 'til it came back, spread to her spine. For so long breast cancer was all air-brushed supermodels and pink waterbottle caps, and now it's emaciated, painful, undignified, personal.
Her role as 'the best friend' and 'sister' to my mother, makes this death, for me, less about raw sadness and more about my own gripping, worst fear: losing a dear girlfriend before we've had time to realize the rest of our full, fabulous lives together. But above all, it's pain for my mother who is living that loss right now.
Dinah, my 'fairy' godmother, was magic. She was precise, thoughtful, considerate, and punctual. She loved words and flowers, notably Tolkien and ducks. She had a gift for gifts, and my birthdays and Christmases were marked unfailingly with her hand-written notes and gorgeously wrapped, carefully selected treasures.
And now, I don't mean to eulogize. It's just that the sun broke a cold, grey, rainy Friday, and in the midst of a sun-shower at a service held underneath a heart piercing rainbow, we heard that how to remember and honor a life, is to live by their example.
—David Foster Wallace (via thatkindofwoman)
(Source: uponswallows, via thatkindofwoman)
As November slipped by, I grieved a little for my life in advertising as the sense of finality crept up beside me.
A couple weeks ago my new wool coat wrapped up the suit I bought years ago: basic, crisp, black: an emblem for everything I had once aspired to. I watched myself on one of the last big days—presentation day—motoring around our spiffed up, open-plan office, thinking audibly, "this is the last time I'll ever join this huddle", as we crowded around our creative director's computer, swapping suggestions and jokes. For just a moment my comments were useful and I was a part of the team. I helped shape the united front we presented to the world.
And as we poured out of a cab onto the crush of Madison Avenue, no metaphor, Madison-fucking-Avenue, my ego kept pace with my jaunty stride, being all like girl please, you worked for this.
Sigh. You can have anything, but you can't have everything all at once.
There are still a few more days to go. Knowing you'll be replaced, knowing that you have to sit down and pen a letter of resignation, all of us reluctant to see the truth on letterhead, you'd have to be made of stone for that not to move you.
Luckily, it's going very well and the parting is peaceful, understanding.
This ending is weak (the post, not my life or the world, mind you). And that's because before I trumpet in a new day, I wanted to distinguish that the ending of one thing and the seeking and beginning of another are actually entirely different things—although of course like in any good break up, it all feels inseparable.
"…something told me to run, and honey you know me, it's all or none."
As I write this, typing and deleting in rapid succession, I'm fighting my way past a tangled garden of bright, poisonous distractions, past the lure of a lazy day in the shade, ignoring too the rows of well-kept plots whose fruits are ready for harvest again and again.
As always when I write, I'm hopeful that a little light will be shed, for you and me. Maybe de-tangling this knot of thoughts and laying it all out in orderly sentences for you might help me make sense of what only the heart truly knows. If we're lucky, we'll all get a stiff shot of inspiration, too.
In plain English, I've given word that I'm quitting my job, and by way of explanation, stated that while there are (always) many factors involved, I'm ultimately weary of the advertising "account manager" role. As someone who has facilitated projects and other people for the better part of the last five years, I'm very ready for my own work to be the bulk of my day. Most of all, I want to be a bigger contribution… directly making a difference to anyone that needs it. It's time to discover and test what strengths and skills I really have.
This might come as a surprise to those who know that for a long time I loved my job and indeed ran down this career path with puffed-up pride after graduating from my Bachelor of Business: Marketing and Advertising degree. I fell in love with the like-minded camaraderie of the agency world in Australia, and the glimmer of the advertising industry was an undeniable draw-card of my coming to New York, long before Mad Men was a thing.
The tangled uncertainty lies not in making the decision, but in the inevitable "so what next?", "what do you want to do instead?" My lack of specificity here is proving problematic - no one likes vagueness and it's obviously difficult for others to help find if you don't know what you're looking for.
I became somewhat withdrawn in my introspection, frozen in the headlights, looking for ways to boil down the excess and find the essence of who I want to be professionally. An objective, a tag line, an elevator pitch! WHO AM I?!
Here we have a little seedling of an idea, so tremulous in its growth, so susceptible to the rains and beating sun, so easily mistaken for an unwanted weed, that I beg you to stay with me:
Of course you're going to go off and "be a photographer" if you only have a year of good health left to live. Or if you're one of the lucky ones whose talents and passions are aligned and evident from an early age, you know just what to pursue. Or perhaps you are suddenly called to your life's work.
But for those of us for whom the 'what else' is less obvious, there seems to be little incentive and an awful lot of risk in pursuing the unknown. When you consider doing 'something that matters' or 'something you love' it's very easy to get bogged down in the cliche, and in the very daunting, seemingly insurmountable challenges, and in the deeply entrenched, highly flawed systems that we're seemingly enslaved to. And the fear of bills and personal responsibilities is no laughing matter. As we experienced in Hurricane Sandy, keeping the lights on often feels like priority number one.
What I want to suggest is that "purpose" and our life's work is not about pursuing one specific thing. It's the general sense of going and doing something else that matters to you.
It's about trying and changing, shifting and growing, giving and contributing, failing and learning until you are not just withstanding the currents, but that you too are a force to be reckoned with!
It's a little terrifying being this upfront: deliberately making the rationale for my professional choices, made not out of sheer necessity but by my own free will, in the cold light of day, available for scrutiny. My professional sensibilities are prickling at being overridden by heart and emotion. The account manager (and the woman) in me wants to take on every last project, even though my plate is already over full.
And yet being honest hasn't let me down before. I opened up on my journey about moving from Australia to New York, about not accepting an awful sales job in the city just because of the expectation that you should take what you can get and quit later, about being relentless in making a life here and never giving up, even when unexpected hurdles reared their heads and others might have turned around and gone home.
I know the reward of being candid and following your heart, and I'm betting on that again. Full self-expression is tough, but I think deliberate self-censorship is tougher.
I'm sad about leaving advertising (for now) because, as a thing it's one of the most potent, influential vehicles we have for mass communication, information and persuasion, and as an industry, its people are some of the most relentless, dedicated, insightful, passionate and ridiculously hard-working people around.
At present, we find ourselves frequently creating false wants and needs (to feed a culture of greed and insatiable consumption) when so many true needs already exist. There are literally millions of hungry mouths to feed - and this is not just the 'starving children in Africa' hyperbole, it's our fellow Americans and Australians too.
But I digress.
It's time to join my generation, to start channeling the entrepreneurial spirit, to embrace the digital age like never before, to read and write and research, to network and engage in conversation. It's time to find a new way.
I'll be posting updates here. I love to chat, so lets continue the conversation! You can find me at @ariaintrepid And thank you, so very much, for all that you do. I am nothing less than floored and deeply grateful for the amazing people who abound in this life.
P.S. Newston's 1st Law of Motion reference paraphrase:::Everything in the universe is moving and resists that which attempts to stop it. This defines the nature of inertia.
—Who Will Save Your Soul
The Return
An Idea ran about the world
screaming with the pain of the mind
until it met a child
who stopped it with a word.
The Idea leaned over those newborn eyes
and dreamed of the nature of things:
the nature of memory and the nature of love;
and forgave itself and all men.
Quieted in a sea of sleeping
the Idea began its long return –
renewed by the child's sea-colored eyes
remembered the flesh, smiled and said:
I see birds, spring and the birthplace
unknown by the stable stone.
I know light and I know motion
and I remember I am not alone.
The Idea voyaged nearer my breathing, saying
Come balance come
into the love of these faces and forces
find us our equilibrium.
And the child stirred, asking his questions.
The Idea grew more fleshly and spoke:
Beaten down I was
Down I knew very long
Newborn I begin.
And the child went on asking his questions.
The Idea journeying into my body
returned, and I knew the nature of One,
and could forget One, and turn to the child,
and whole could turn to the world again.
Until the pain turns into answers
and all the masters become askers
And all the victims again doers
And all the sources break in light.
The child goes alive, asking his questions.
Muriel Rukeyser in The Collected Poems of Muriel Rukeyser

Ragged Ragtop
Unless it's from the Atacama Desert, any convertible project with a top that looks like this has been accumulating water over the years. Floorpans and seat frames are, of course, the most obvious thing to check for rust, but don't forget to also check the condition of the dash since the instruments, controls, and wiring have been exposed to the elements as well. Also, the condition of the top frame itself should be inspected since restoring them can be pricey and the joints rust solid easily.
Some Assembly Required
On the extreme end of the scenario are cars like this '64 Impala. While the body was decent, especially for a roofless ragtop, it was a case of "what you see is what you get." And what you got wasn't much— especially for $14K. If you're going full custom, this may not be an issue, but any type of restoration requiring stock-style parts would be a major undertaking and would knock this Imp off the list of candidates in our book. If you do decide to go this route, success will depend on you already being an expert in restoring the model of car in question.
The number-one overlooked aspect of any restoration is the interior. That's a shame too because it's also one of the most time consuming—especially if you happen to fall in love with an off-the-radar car with little reproduction support like this '67 Barracuda S. There's nothing left in this interior that's usable and until recently, almost nothing for these A-Bodies was reproduced. Always make a list of what a potential project is going to need and check it against new or used parts availability.
Ex Race Cars
Here's the thing about old race cars: They were only meant to be race cars. While your mind sees an incredible $1,500 price tag for a '57 Chevy and gets really excited, this is one to approach with extreme caution. Race cars are not meant to be nice cars and the work that was put into them will lean heavily toward function over form. That's a nice way of saying most of them are going to be hacked up and tacked together.
Gaps Askew
Vintage cars were never perfectly gapped from the factory like modern cars, but panel fitment like this with widely varying gaps is a sure sign that the front clip has not only been off the car, but there may be hidden damage preventing proper alignment. At a minimum, the panels have probably been swapped out. That doesn't sound so bad, but even original sheetmetal doesn't always work well from one car to another and getting the gaps in check may be difficult or impossible. Best-case scenario, a few hours of gapping could cure everything.
It's hard to find a classic car that hasn't had some sort of damage over the decades, but it's the area affected that can make the difference. This early Mustang had fresh sheetmetal hung over a badly damaged core support and inner apron, but the shock towers, framerails, and suspension appeared untouched. While it will require some parts sourcing, this type of damage can be completely repaired with little effort and no lasting effects. In general, low-speed type of damage such as this and damage to areas that can be unbolted and replaced are often safe—damage to the chassis or unibody is much more severe and will require a qualified frame shop to repair.
Old Repairs
Old repairs are the worst repairs; we'd almost rather just have the rust or damage. The thing to remember here is that for a very long time muscle cars were just cheap used cars considered just as disposable as a modern commuter. You can be sure that any repairs performed during that period of time were slapdash. This decades-old filler on a quarter-panel, for example, was applied right over the rust and damage. If you spot stuff like this popping up, you can count on many more hidden surprises.

Stayed only for one night. Location is perfect, and the view from apartment is incredible.
The staff was extremely friendly. Very helpful. Gave us whatever we needed.
The staff were all pleasant and courteous. Very helpful and knowledgeable. The room was very clean. There was a slight issue with elevators one morning however the staff ensured you were not stranded. A bit of a wait but not a problem. Breakfast selection was very good. Both check in and out was a breeze.
Location Very friendly and helpful staff Breakfast was excellent Happy hour Linen and comfortable bed Coffee maker Value for money Will return and recommend this hotel
No free wi-fi in the room. One gets free wi-fi in your room even in the smallest guest house in South Africa. No view - facing a brick wall. Luckily we spent the minimum amount of time in our room
We were put in a basement room which was very noisy.
Clean, spacious, and comfortable. The breakfast was good
I have nothing negative to say.
We loved the location, you can walk everywhere, the rooms were big, clean and comfortable.
parking fees at nearby garage are very high
Near event place and also shopping, good view
Big room, good view
Pullout sofa mattress was shriveled up and badly stained.
It looks like it needs to get renovated... It is not bad but it's outdated
Water pressure on the bathroom was low in general the room looks old
1. Location - steps to Chicago River and a couple of blocks to Millennium Park, convenient to most nice places in Chicago 2. In room washer and dryer - this is a big plus for our family! 3. Breakfast was good 4. Our room was spacious.
1. Bathroom was outdated. 2. The refrigerator was not working - freezer was like fridge and fridge was not cold at all. 3. The public area is small.
We had to go to a local restaurant for the first few mornings of our stay for breakfast as the hotel's breakfast room was unavailable. This took considerable time (queue up to 40 mins) as it appeared the restaurant was understaffed to cope with the number of customers. We were not informed when the hotel's breakfast room was reopened and therefore missed breakfast one morning as it closed at 9.30 and the restaurant we were going to served breakfast till 10.30.
I love the location it was very close to everything so we didn't have to walk too far. We couldn't have asked for a better room. It overlooked the city not only in the living room area but also from the bedroom. And even though we didn't really use the kitchen area I love that it was an option. And since I was traveling to Chicago for work for 6 days it was great to not have to worrying about making breakfast since it was provided with the room. Overall I had a really great experience and the hotel was above and beyond my expectations.
Only thing that was somewhat of an issue was the wifi was terribly slow and some days unconnectable. I felt bad because my boyfriend was working on his website in the room while I went to my classes and he had a hard time with the Internet a few times.
Good location and nice view for reasonable price. Our room was clean and cozy.
Very slow Wi-Fi Poor breakfast Sofa is not comfortable for sleeping
That there was a washer and dryer in the room
That there wasn't a kettle(just for hot water) That there was no china crockery in the room and especially the dining room
Perfect location Comfortable bed
Poor breakfast Slow/Weak WiFi
Location. Room size. Excellent view to The River and Michigan Ave. Good breakfast.
Poor fitness center. Wifi could improve (disconnet sometimes). For 2 Days we felt cigarette smell in The bathroom.
The hotels central location and excellent breakfast choices.
We were in Chicago for our daughters wedding. We had our children/grandchildren with us we had plenty of room the accommodations met our needs. The hotel was centrally located to all our activities. Staff was friendly and attentive to our needs. The facility was clean and well maintained.
We had no complaints.
The staff was very nice and professional friendly.
The bathroom was a little dated needed some drywall work in ceiling evidence of a leak.
Price, location and free breakfast was really good.
bathroom was very tiny

This editorial has been modified from how it originally was published in the Star-Telegram and on Star-Telegram.com to correct the middle name of Kelly Allen Gray.The residents of Fort Worth's District 8 are fortunate to have two people running to represent them on the City Council who are hardworking, goal-oriented, passionate individuals committed to serving their community and the entire city.Councilwoman Kelly Allen Gray, a longtime neighborhood leader, won the seat a year ago in a special election after then-Councilwoman Kathleen Hicks stepped down and ran unsuccessfully for Congress. Hicks wants her old job back.Both women have been dedicated servants.Gray has lived up to her reputation as a tenacious community organizer able to confront issues at a grassroots level, tackling major code enforcement concerns that, among other things, she says, resulted in getting 573 vacant lots mowed and more than 1,300 street lights replaced in the short time she has been on the council.But Hicks, having served seven years on the council before her race for Congress, clearly is the more experienced candidate and the one with a broader vision for a district that has faced numerous challenges over the years.Her focus has been to bring more economic development to the largely southeast area she represented, which includes Morningside, Highland Hills, Rolling Hills, Poly, Mitchell Boulevard and parts of Riverside and Meadowbrook.During her tenure on the council, Hicks helped spearhead a long list of major projects, including the new Renaissance Center on the site of the old Masonic Home and School. That complex is anchored by a Wal-Mart Super Center, providing one of the first major grocery stores to locate in that area in decades.Other accomplishments she proudly touts are the East Rosedale Street renovation, more than 50 new single-family houses on the near southeast side close to downtown, the Hazel Harvey Peace Center for Neighborhoods, renovation of Cobb Park and the Sycamore Golf Course and a new library.If elected, Hicks would bring her bundle of tenacity, undying enthusiasm for her constituents and strong leadership qualities to the job with an eye on continuing economic progress the district has experienced recently. As for Gray, regardless of the election outcome, there's no doubt she will continue being of service to this community.The Star-Telegram Editorial Board recommends Kathleen Hicks for Fort Worth City Council District 8.

30% of Drinking Water Fails Quality Standards
Heavy metals and other contaminants have been found in water samples taken from vending machines and bottled water.
Only 70 per cent of bottled water and drinking water from vending machines passes quality standards set by the Department of Health, director general Dr Somyos Deerasamee has revealed.
"The problem lies with contamination. Contaminants include heavy metals and bacteria," he said.
Contaminated water causes various diseases including diarrhoea and typhoid, he said.
Even more alarming was the fact that only 40 per cent of water from water utility services, artesian wells, rain and shallow wells passed the department's quality requirements.
Somyos advised people to boil or add an appropriate amount of chlorine to water before drinking it. "Keep drinking water in clean containers. If the containers are large, you still have to clean them every six months."
He said people who use water purifiers should regularly replace the filters.
The safest way to ensure your bottled water is up to standard is to stick to products certified by the Food and Drug Administration.

But later they will attribute these cuts to the split. When in reality, they would have realized these savings either way.
Sad to see the sales force getting whacked. But with the in-store merchandising activities being centralized – the need for sales reps selling incremental displays at store level are fading fast.

Vincom Centre
A Western style mall
What we say:
Unlike the small boutique stalls found in Diamond Plaza or Hung Vuong, here the Centre has actual stores. This is the place to come if you're looking for a real Gucci handbag or outfit from Armani.
The downstairs food floor is one of the better areas in the city to look for your favourite Western foods, as it is home to a Carl's Jr burger shop, one of the only Western burger locations in Saigon, and a Popeye's Chicken establishment, an alternative to KFC.

Another interesting fact. While Paul and I, the neocon barbarian Ugly
American right wing trash that we are, attempt to pass on information in a
thoughtful and civilized manner, the more enlightened, liberal,
free-thinking and rightous members of this list find it necessary to use
foul language and personal insults to get their points across.
That's beyond hilarious. The UN is a corrupt, useless organization that
rapes helpless children in Africa and stands idly by while terrorists blow
up innocent people. I'd like nothing more than to kick them out of our
country and use their building for something worthwhile. France seems
like a good location. They're masters at talking and doing nothing.
Well said Paul. I agree. Which of you fine, high minded people out there
want to take on the corrupt, useless, resource sucking organization that is
the UN? Pay their bills, provide them with office space, housing and
diplomatic immunity?

Coccolithophores are single celled eukaryotic phytoplankton that synthesize intricate exoskeletons from crystals of calcium carbonate. The functions of these coccoliths are unknown, and may include buoyancy, osmotic regulation, protection from UV light, predation, or mechanical shock. When nutrient and light conditions are optimal, coccolithophores can form massive plankton blooms that are visible from space. Large numbers of these organisms can accumulate on the ocean floor forming chalk deposits such as the White Cliffs of Dover.

What looks like one long, swirling organism, is actually a collection of tunicates—elongated, baglike urochordates that filter water to get food—called a salp (Pegea confoederata). The chains are formed by asexual reproduction via budding done by young individuals.

Limacina helicina is a species of pteropod mollusk. 'Pteropod' is basically a catch-all term for all kinds of free-swimming, pelagic sea snails, usually ones with modified, wing-like foot. The sea angel Clione limacina has also been referred as a 'pteropod'. However, its usage as taxonomic term has now become obsolete.

crack repair picture
As the snow melts and the ground thaws, homeowners may have a few choice words for Mother Nature. Something along the lines of Dorothy's infamous nemesis in The Wizard Oz, perhaps:
"Ohhh - you cursed brat! Look what you've done! (It's) melting! Melting! Oh, what a world! What a world!"
While normal spring thaws can cause what may have once been just a small trickle to become a bigger issue, any cracks that might have trickled once before have the potential to become a huge problem this year.
Commonly referred to as the "Leaky Professor" by family, friends and especially his customers, Jim Burke of Illiana Basement Waterproofing explained how this year's spring thaw will exacerbate any issues that were not taken care of in the past.
"When the ground is still frozen in late winter/early spring, it cannot absorb all of the rain water or snow melt off and it flows down along the foundation. If it does not properly drain away, once the water reaches the footing it builds up hydrostatic pressure. If an existing drain tile system is not functioning properly, or cracks are prevalent in the foundation, then the pressure will force the water into the basement" he said. "A proper drain tile system, sump pump and sealed cracks will help you avoid problems this spring. The people who we've done work for this fall and winter can rest easy."
Just as flower bulbs are planted in the fall to enjoy the following spring, wise homeowners take the initiative to have their basements inspected and repaired in the fall.
"Whenever there's a big spring rain storm, people who have been getting some water over time may finally get deluged," Burke said. "That's the time of year everyone becomes impatient for an estimate. Everybody wants to get on board – it's a good problem to have, but we really want to educate people and let them know that these issues can be addressed – usually very reasonably - long before they become a big problem."
For example, one of Burke's recent projects was completed late last year, and he guarantees these homeowners would have had massive issues with water and would not have been able to use their basement this spring without the improvements made to their very old farmhouse.
"This particular basement was approximately 120 years old and full of nooks and crannies," he said. 'We installed a complete drain tile and sump system, and 1,800-sq-ft of moisture proof wall liner. Now they have no worries."
Another family who was remodeling their entire basement last year wanted to ensure it would stay dry.
"They wanted to protect their investment," Burke said. 'So as part of the overall project, we installed a new drain tile system. That way, no matter what the melt is doing outside, they'll be enjoying their refreshed space inside."
Whether homeowners have an existing finished basement, or they recently invested time and money into a remodel, everyone wants to keep them dry. However, according to Burke, unless every crack or crevice is properly repaired, chances are they will end up getting wet.
"A waterproofed basement allows you to confidently enjoy more livable space," he said. "It also prevents any harmful effects from mold or mildew issues on your family and can even help a house sell faster and for more money."
With spring always the "busier" season for basement waterproofers, Burke recommends anyone with concerns about water schedule an appointment to have it inspected and repaired now so they can enjoy a nice dry home in the wet weeks ahead.
"The best thing they can do is get on the schedule now," he explained. "Local firms may prove to be more agile, getting jobs scheduled more quickly. Larger companies that do a very high volume of work sometimes will need to schedule you several weeks or even months out – by then it could be too late with the way things are going outdoors right now."
In addition to checking the structure of your home, Burke also reminds homeowners that sump pumps and battery backup pumps are essential in case of primary pump or power outage (which could lead to a flooded basement).
"Discharge lines also need to be free and clear, not frozen," he added. "There will be a huge demand for sump pumps this spring. Places like Menards are stocking up in anticipation of the big demand."
Even if you've never had a problem before, surface water can buildup around the foundation of any home and lead to a leaky basement.
"If the soil around your home becomes saturated with water, the extra weight can create pressure that forces water into your home," Burke said. "When the groundwater levels outside the basement rise above the level of the floor, the basement acts like a boat in a pond. If a boat is sitting in water, water will leak in through any open cracks or holes. It works the same way with a basement. Hydrostatic pressure pushes the water into the basement through even the smallest cracks and joints, with water most commonly being pushed through the floor-wall joint. Hydrostatic pressure on the walls also pushes moisture through porous concrete block into your home, where the drier air inside of your basement sucks it up and makes your basement air more humid. Left unchecked, that excess condensation can cause mold and mildew. Most people don't even realize it's there. A rust spot under paint cans is a warning sign."

If you were worried that Ke$ha's newest video wasn't going to involve her and James Van Der Beek (playing himself) shooting rainbow lasers at each other at a fancy unicorn party…
…you don't need to worry any longer.
I've been in Los Angeles for FOUR YEARS?
If you expected some SORT of nostalgic "look how far I've come/best decision of my life/every day is a gift" bullshit, look elsewhere. Because I am freaking the fuck out.
No offense. Love all of my LA friends. But SERIOUSLY? FOUR YEARS?
Thanks! You know, there are a lot of really good blogs out there written by some really talented people and I'm constantly doubting whether I can measure up to my peers…but your message was a real vote of confidence. Your blog is also really sweet! I like the part where you take your pants off while I watch. Hey, do you like Zooey Deschanel?
Solution: Cancel Two and a Half Men for good and immediately hire all the now-out-of-work crew to work on the TV movie about why Two and a Half Men was canceled for good.
There is an epidemic going around that I would like you all to be aware of.
This specifically concerns my friends in the comedy community.
Each day, more people fall victim to this horrible, horrible, disease, and I pray you will not be next.
It's called the Wacky Headshot.
YOU DON'T NEED IT!, funny people! Just have a headshot that makes you look good. And if it's comedy, yeah probably smile and wear bright colors. But the silliness and pandering has GOT to stop.
Say NO to goofy facial expressions!
Say NO to outfits that make you look like a well-dressed hobo!
Say NO to "concept headshots" of you doing things like feeding a chicken or riding an escalator railing!
You know how you can prove to a casting director that you're funny?
By being funny in an audition.
You know how you can get an audition?
IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE: This post is written solely in regards to people who use Wacky Headshots for legitimate submissions. I have no problem with them being taken when it's just for fun. Hell, we all love being funny and looking pretty, so take as many "just for goofs" ones as you like. And put them on Facebook so I can see and comment.
Just don't staple a resume to the back and take them around town.
House of Pies got their A back.
You fucking kidding me right now? The FUCK was that?
Just Sayin'
When is there going to be a new Savage Garden video?
Yeah but it looks like a Radiohead video.
A majority of the statue was funded by a company known for licensing products from movies and creating real-life versions of them.
I'm less joyous.
But I'll still take the RoboCop
I've been sick twice now, and it's only February. I almost never get sick, so it's weird that it's happened twice in two months.
I know exactly why. I'm too stressed. I constantly bite off more than I can chew and I never give myself the time to just relax.
But I've found a solution!
In an effort to simplify my life, I am simply going to cut half of my friends out of it.
If your first name begins with the letters A-M, we are no longer friends. Nothing personal. I just have to think about my health, you know?
Peaking at #5 on the charts, "Baby" is Justin Bieber's most successful single to date. No other single has entered the top ten.
Smash Mouth has released three singles that have done better than Justin Bieber's most successful one.
Jennifer Paige released a song called "Crush" in 1998 that did better than Justin Bieber's most successful single.
LFO's "Summer Girls" also charted better.
Other artists who have had more successful singles than Justin Bieber include Savage Garden, Natalie Imbruglia, K-Ci & JoJo, Sisqo, Sonique, Samantha Mumba, Crazy Town, S Club 7, Blu Cantrell, Willa Ford, 98 Degrees, and Lou Bega.
And I know what you're going to say. And you're right.
It's not about the music.
Clearly it isn't, because I challenge any of you to name more than one Bieber song. The songs being released are irrelevant.
What this is really about, what this has always been about, what is the most important part of all this, is that our country is turning a 16-year-old boy into a sex icon.
And therefore, there will no doubt be rape allegations before he can legally buy alcohol.
Two and a Half Men is a god awful show starring a woman-abusing drug addict, and yet it is still the highest rated comedy on television.
I really wish the 100-year-old mummies who watch it had access to internet or at least a remote control so they could change the channel from CBS long enough to see what a horrible, horrible human being Charlie Sheen is and then maybe they'd stop.
It would be free, and needs a home. And I live alone anyway, so that would cool. Plus they are supposed to be good for stress relief and I am always anxious about random shit.
And I've always wanted an animal and cats are much more self-sufficient than dogs which is a huge plus.
Yes? Or no?
Don't you just HATE days where you know you won't have any time to go home and watch Netflix on WII?

Product Description
Steeda Oil Separator Kit for 1979-2004 Mustangs.An oil separator kit reduces detonation, oil burning and deposits on the valves by removing oil drawn through the PCV system before it can contaminate the intake charge. Kit includes the oil separator, required hose and hardware.
Excess crankcase pressure (sometimes known as "blow-by") is vented from the crankcase through the PCV system, where it is drawn into the intake manifold and returned by the engine. This re-circulated air contains aerated oil from the crankcase which is burned by the engine. Supercharged, nitrous boosted and high mileage engines often draw excessive amounts of oil into the engine through the PCV system. The Steeda oil separator plugs into the PCV hose between the PCV valve and the intake manifold and removes aerated oil from the re circulated air and collects it in a tube that can be drained and recycled.

This device should have been available years ago...even should have been factory installed when the cars were built. The enclosed hose is too short for most applications, but since this is a universal part, some "home-brewed modifications" are needed. Made a different mounting bracket and installed two longer hoses to the ports. Mounted the separator in the empty space on the passenger side firewall/fender area. Attached the modified bracket to an existing hole in the inner fender (no new holes drilled in the car!) Looks stock!
Installed the separator in my '00 Mustang GT. Install was fairly simple. Picked up some various pre-molded 3/8 inch hoses from Autobarn that made the install look look like it came from the factory. In only around 50 miles of driving there is a small accumulation of oil in it already. I would say this is a must mod to prevent this oil vapor, from the PCV line, building up gunk in the intake and valves, especially if you are supercharged or turbo.

Project Description
The particulate deposition model developed by The Ohio State University (OSU) in prior University Turbine Systems Research (UTSR) work will be modified to better account for the fundamental physics of particle impact and sticking, including particle and surface properties. Experimental data from OSU's Turbine Reacting Flow Facility (TuRFR) deposition cascade facility will be used to validate the revised model.
The TuRFR facility will be modified to provide for the generation of inlet temperature profile non-uniformities (hot streaks), which will be tracked through the turbine nozzle passage using surface temperature infrared imagery and exit plane temperature measurements. Hot streak evolution and the effect of the hot streaks on deposition will be evaluated. Film cooling will then be added to both the experiments and the computation to evaluate its effect on hot streak migration and deposition. Finally, the model's ability to track hot streak migration will be exercised on a full turbine stage (vane and rotor) using data acquired in the OSU Gas Turbine Laboratory transient turbine test rig. The model will also be used to predict deposition in the rotating configuration, although there will be no experimental validation of deposition in the rotating frame.

Program Background and Project Benefits
This project will modify the particulate deposition model developed in prior work to better account for the fundamental physics of particle impact and sticking. Turbine aerodynamics and heat transfer research will develop advanced cooling technology that will allow for higher firing temperatures which translate into increased cycle efficiency. Specifically, this project will refine the deposition model to include the evolution and migration of hot streaks and the effects of film cooling on hot streaks and deposition, and validate the data using the Turbine Reacting Flow Facility.

fired by the locally famous Tam the Gun on the
stroke of midnight, provides a highlight of the
evening, and is immediately followed by a large
fireworks display, for which the castle itself,
perched majestically at the peak of the city, and
viewable for miles around, provides a wonderful
central point. The picture on this page is actually

Today, the Atlanta Braves activated Gavin Floyd and optioned relief pitcher Ian Thomas to Gwinnett where he will move into a starting role and work on some of his off speed offerings:
#Braves Ian Thomas will go to Gwinnett and move into starting role for now and work on slider.
— David O'Brien (@ajcbraves) May 4, 2014
As for Floyd, it looks like his timing is excellent, as he'll be needed to fill in for Ervin Santana this Tuesday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Santana is battling a sore right thumb:
Gavin Floyd will start Tuesday. Ervin Santana has a sore right thumb. Expected to miss just one start. Likely start on Sat. #Braves
— Kevin McAlpin (@KevinMcAlpin) May 4, 2014
It is unknown at this moment what Floyd's more permanent role will be going forward, but there is definitely a need for more quality arms within this Braves team. While the starting rotation has been excellent so far, the bullpen has struggled frequently, and it's possible that Floyd could help improve the unit after filling in for this spot start on Tuesday.
Getting Floyd (and Mike Minor) back seems to have already had a good impact on the bullpen, in one of those "addition by subtraction" ways. Gus Schlosser was optioned to make room for Minor on Friday and Thomas is the odd man out today to make room for Floyd. Both of these guys have struggled in the pen, and whoever moves out of the rotation to take their place is likely a better option for Fredi Gonzalez.
