Paramore: Still Into You [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

The Trouble with Snooze Buttons (and with Modern Sleep) On a typical workday morning, if you’re like most people, you don’t wake up naturally. Instead, the ring of an alarm clock probably jerks you out of sleep. Depending on when you went to bed, what day of the week it is, and how deeply you were sleeping, you may not understand where you are, or why there’s an infernal chiming sound. Then you throw out your arm and hit the snooze button, silencing the noise for at least a few moments. Just another couple of minutes, you think. Then maybe a few minutes more. It may seem like you’re giving yourself a few extra minutes to collect your thoughts. One of the consequences of waking up suddenly, and too early, is a phenomenon called sleep inertia. In those early waking minutes, our memory, reaction time, ability to perform basic mathematical tasks, and alertness and attention all suffer. Other research has found that sleep inertia can last two hours or longer. Fortunately, the effects of sleep inertia and social jetlag seem to be reversible.

T-shirt Memory Quilts A square is the front or back of a t-shirt. We can also use a combination of smaller logos, photos, ties, hats or almost any fabric item you can think of for an extra charge.

'Worst Cities for Black Americans' shames Midwest At first glance, the list of “The Worst Cities for Black Americans” published Tuesday makes it look as if the Midwest is a bad home for African Americans. To see us singled out as having such dim prospects for black America makes me feel ashamed. The eight-year-old Delaware-based financial news and opinion source called 24/7 Wall St. that published the list emphasized socio-economic disparities as it determined which cities are the worst ones for African Americans. Milwaukee is perched at No. 1. Illinois has the unfortunate distinction of landing the most cities, three, on the list — including Chicago, where America's first black president cut his political teeth. Iowa rounds out the lineup with Des Moines (No. 9) and Waterloo-Cedar Falls (No. 10). Covering the latest list from a company angling for press coverage can feel like journalistic ambulance chasing. No matter how harsh or unflattering these realities, we can't ignore them. But then "worst" also might be a bit of a misnomer.

Vintage Data Sheets for Coils, Transformers, and Other Tube-Era Components by Jeff Duntemann K7JPD What the &*!(*!! Is a J. W. Miller 112-H6?? One of the challenges of junkbox radio construction is knowing the characteristics of the parts you've dug out of some old TV chassis or bought for a quarter at a hamfest. What I'm doing here (as time allows) is scanning the vintage component data sheets that I've come across and posting them. Some of the scanned sheets cover a single device. I make no copyright claim of any kind to any of these scanned images. So again, take a look below, and if you have any tube-era component data sheets that I don't have, please send me a scan so I can post it here! Other Sources for Vintage Component Data Lindsay Books republished a 1943 Meissner book, their How To Build Instruction Manual, which is actually an early species of "advertorial" and contains a great deal of information on 40's-era Meissner coils of many types, including a lot of practical circuits and pictorial diagrams of chassis wired for the circuits.
