Hey Ocean!: We like to write songs that make people feel good!
This is Ashleigh, Dave & Dave from Hey Ocean!
have always dreamed of touring the world, but for as long as we can
remember we've been told to wait. The thing is after 7 years as a band
we've grown tired of waiting around for the right moment and we know
that our fans around the world feel the same.
we figure we can make this dream a reality through the support of
everyone who has made our career possible since day one: our family,
friends, and fans. (that's you!)
the amazing thing about crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter. They
allow us to speak directly to you and offer really cool swag/experiences
in return for your support.
pledges will be helping us pay for our big tour expenses like plane
tickets, gear rentals, van rentals, hotels and more over the next year
or so of touring internationally. We can't promise that we'll make it
everywhere right away, but the more money we raise the more places we can go!
started with a minimum goal of $30,000 and we've come up with a pretty
sweet list of stuff for anyone who pledges. For those of you who aren't
familiar with how this works, if we don't reach our goal we don't get
any money so every dollar counts!
don't forget that we're counting on YOU to spread the word! Even if you
can't support with money please share this video and link on your
social media sites like Facebook & Twitter!
Thanks a million!
See you soon!
Ash, Dave & Dave

AUSTIN, Texas—Texas A&M junior Cameron Peck placed fourth with a 4-under 209 to lead the 14th-ranked Aggies to a fourth-place finish Saturday afternoon at the Morris Williams Intercollegiate at the University of Texas Golf Club.
Peck (72-76-71) finished one shot out of first place, while A&M ended the weekend with a 16-over 868 (290-281-297). No. 1 Texas (843, -9) posted a 16-shot victory, with No. 20 New Mexico (+7) finishing second and TCU (+14) third.
"We didn't play well today," head coach J.T. Higgins said. "From start to finish we just really struggled with our ball striking. That's unusual for us, but it kind of happens to us sometimes over here. We've had bad tourneys over here in the past and survived them, and then went on to have great finishes to our season, so we're going to try and put this one in the rearview mirror as soon as possible."
North Texas (+18) finished fifth, followed by Texas Tech (+31), Wake Forest (+33), College of Charleston (+34), UT Arlington (+46), St. John's (+55), Sam Houston State (+56) and Utah (+96).
Peck wrapped a strong weekend with a solid final round on the par-71, 7,412-yard course. Over the course of the tournament, the Aggie All-American recorded just six bogeys and tallied 11 birdies.
"Cam played great again," Higgins said. "I'm so proud of him. He made a double-bogey on 15 and then came back and birdied 17 and 18 and ended up with a great finish. I'm just really proud for him and really excited and I'm glad to have him playing well. We just need to get a few things fixed with the other guys, but we're really close and we'll get them going."
Senior Geoff Shaw, playing as an individual, finished one spot back of Peck in sixth place with a 2-under 211 (65-71-75). Senior Jordan Russell (72-68-79=219) tied for 20th at 6-over, while redshirt freshman Greg Yates (73-74-73=220, +7) finished 26th and sophomore Jade Scott 40th (78-74-74=226, +13).
A&M returns to action next weekend when the Aggies participate in the Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate outside Charleston, S.C. The tournament is scheduled for March 25 and 26 at Bulls Bay Golf Club.
"We're looking forward to getting back home and getting ready for South Carolina," Higgins said. "We played pretty well there last year, and will look to do so again this year and then start gearing up for postseason."

Pearls of Wisdom
What others apprise, the same you want to, what others avoid, the same you want to, that is why, you fail as others, how ridiculous it is!
– Lao Tzu
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
– Buddha
When we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.
– Confucius
"We, the rusting leaves, have a voice that answers the storms, but who are you, so silent?" - "I am a mere flower."
– Rabindranath Tagore
Glory may be fleeting, but obscurity is forever.
– Napoleon Bonaparte
In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.
– Coco Chanel
If you want to succeed, you have to forge new paths and avoid borrowed ones.
– John Rockefeller
Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.
– Charles Kuralt
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

If you risk nothing, then you risk everything.

The Need To Be Different
Ask yourself, "What is possible?" and not, "what is somebody else doing?"
No one gets ahead by copying the status quo or imitating competitors. The concept of being unique or different is far more important today than it was ten years ago. In the emerging era of era of overcommunication and hyper-competition, people are overwhelmed by choice – choice of information, ideas, products, and services. In this sea of choice, most customers have trouble making choices about buying decisions. Choosing among multiple options is always based on differences, implicit or explicit.

Being different for different's sake is not enough. There must be real passion in your project and it should be true to your vision.

The Power of Passion
The Secret of Winning in Life
The secret of winning in life lies in seeing life differently – in its different shades and outcomes. "Life becomes a path that leads to achievements. Winners do not value life as much as what they can do with it. For them life is not a tedious journey from the womb to the tomb. It is a journey about crossing milestones and looking forward to new ones."10
Case in Point Fosbury Flop
In the 1968 Summer Olympics a young man named Dick Fosbury revolutionized high-jumping technique. Using an approach that became known as the Fosbury Flop, he won the gold medal, by going over the bar back-first instead of head-first. He didn't rely on the commonly used technique,' as did all of his fellow competitors. By challenging assumptions, he raised the performance bar for everyone.

New Business Environment and New Survival Strategies
In today's tidal wave of global economic, technological, and social change, that name of the game for you and your organization is survival.
Differentiation Strategies
You are not going to survive in this new economy through technology innovation alone. If you are going to withstand relentless and constantly growing global competition, you need to be different and radically change the way of doing business. You have to give up the old hierarchical, adversarial approach which wastes individual talents and saps energy in unproductive conflict. Instead you need to create a new management model, switch from management to leadership, manage change, build trust, drive out fear of failure and create productive partnerships in which everyone can offer their unique knowledge and talents. If you know how to help your organization to do this, you can make a decisive difference.6
Entrepreneurial Leader: 4 Specific Attributes
Inspirational Leadership
Provide an inspiring vision and strategic alignment, launch a crusade. As an inspirational leader, you must envision the future, passionately believe that you can make a difference, and inspire people to achieve more than they may ever have dreamed possible. You must see a changed world beyond the time horizon, create an ideal and unique image of what it could become, open your followers' eyes and lift their spirits. You must believe that your dreams can become reality and, through your attitude, get people to see exciting opportunities and possibilities for the future. People change and unlock their inner power when they are emotionally engaged and committed.... More

Strategies for Leading Breakthroughs
So what separates extraordinary leaders from proponents of the status quo? They break the rules. Except, not in an arbitrary or capricious way. When you look at examples of extraordinary leadership, like the Founding Fathers of the United States or Jack Welch of GE, certain practices or principles become apparent. To start, there is a declaration of what the future will be. There is also a purpose, something to stand for. And finally, there is a clearly articulated commitment...
Case in Point Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs was one of the most successful entrepreneurs of our generation. His success story is legendary.
Put up for adoption at an early age, dropped out of college after 6 months, slept on friends' floors, returned coke bottles for 5 cent deposits to buy food, then went on to start Apple Computers and Pixar Animation Studios.
On June 12th 2005, Steve Jobs gave the commencement address at Stanford University. Below are a few clips from his powerful speech.
"When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."... More

Case in Point Wall-Mart
In his 10 Rules for Building a Business Success, Sam Walton, the Founder of Wall-Mart writes:
Swim upstream. Go the other way. Ignore the conventional wisdom. If everybody else is doing it one way, there's a good chance you can find your niche by going in exactly the opposite direction. But be prepared for a lot of folks to wave you down and tell you you're headed the wrong way. I guess in all my years, what I heard more often than anything was: a town of less than 50,000 population cannot support a discount store for very long... More

We offer two ways to locate information:
We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
80% Zinfandel, 19% Petite Sirah, 1% Carignne.
Maybe it's that we found our early inspiration for Zinfandel from a different source — instead of reinventing Zinfandel, we looked to the past and the incredible Zins of the '40s and '50s. Those wines taught us the lessons that the old-timers knew: that field blends of Petite Sirah, Carignane, and Napa Gamay all picked at ripeness (not as raisins) added color, aromatics, and earthy complexity. In other words, the help of other varietals was needed to reveal the Zinfandel grape's true flavors. These principles form the foundation for our wine today.
In the centuries-old tradition of the "field blend" the 2008 Frog's Leap Zinfandel reveals the great character and multi-layered nuances of its almost forgotten varietals. The Zinfandel offers lush layers of wild raspberry and mulberry underscored with a touch of cinnamon and white pepper. The 'Pets' deepen the rich dark color, add a weighty mid-palate and strengthen the flavors of blueberry and spice while that dash of Carignane helps to drive the finish. The tannins are polished and the texture is plush. With an alcohol level under 14% this wine is rich yet quaffable and is the perfect partner for your next barbeque.
"A first rate Zinfandel. It shows the classic structure, dryness and tannins of a fine Napa Valley Cabernet, yet the pepper, baking spice and wild berry fruit and currant flavors are uniquely Zin. And look at that alcohol, under 14%. Drink this robust, complex wine with steaks, beef stew, tamales." 91 Points Wine Enthusiast

It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley

Peninsula Counseling Center marks 100th anniversary
(Page 2 of 2)
Kastan said that PCC has a solid reputation and is well respected by other medical institutions. He explained that the organization's goal is to remain on the "cutting edge" when it comes to mental health services and drug and alcohol dependence programs.
"There's a special quality to the organization," he said. "The reputation we have is something I think really distinguishes us. We're very proud of it." Steve Bernstein, president of the Board of Directors, said PCC offers personal service for its clients and performs miracles every day, and that is why it has such a long history of success. He said the goal is to be around another century, but that will require continued support from donors. "If we don't get the community behind us, we might not be here in the next 100 years," he said. Bernstein added that in the current economic environment, it is an accomplishment for any good-will organization that can continue on its path. PCC's reliance on insurance reimbursements and government support makes the times ahead very challenging, he said. Kastan said non-profit agencies come and go, and the number of organizations offering the services that PCC does is shrinking. That makes the 100th anniversary all the more special. "While it's just a number," Kastan said, "I think a century of service is pretty impressive." Anniversary section The Herald will be publishing a special section to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Peninsula Counseling Center in May. For advertising opportunities, call (516) 569-4000 ext. 273 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. If you'd like to share a success story or a memory about PCC, call (516) 569-4000 ext. 265 or email

Seven days of walks and hikes around the Bay of Fundy. Optional activities include sea kayaking and tidal bore river-rafting.
The Bay of Fundy has tides as high as 50 feet - the highest in the world, and teems with so much life that hundreds of whales gather here to feed every summer. This adventure explores the coast in exciting ways. Begin with a hike along the Acadian dykes built to protect rich farmland from the tremendous tides. Float on inner tubes or swim in sun-warmed water near the small university town of Wolfville. Hike to a cliff-top view over the currents and whirlpools below, and descend to explore pristine beaches where agates and sparkling amethysts are the gifts of the wave-wracked rocks. Follow the shore of Minas Basin to Parrsboro, where Mi'kmaq legends tell of the mighty Glooscap's magic. From Parrsboro, hike to waterfalls cascading off the Cobequid Mountains, or in Cape Chignecto Park. Take to the water in seakayaks, for an amazing discovery of the Three Sisters, before a final visit to the Joggins Fossil Cliffs, recently elected to the UNESCO list. This adventure takes you to less-visited parts of Nova Scotia, and teaches you about one of the natural world's greatest phenomena. Guided Cost: $2295 (per person, includes 7 days, 6 nights, 6 breakfasts, 7 lunches, 4 dinners, museum and park entrance fees, luggage handling, full-time guide and van support, maps and route notes) Self-Guided Cost: $1995 (per person, includes 7 days, 6 nights, 6 breakfasts, ground transportation, maps and trail descriptions) Self-Supported Cost: $1125 (per person, includes 7 days, 6 nights, 6 breakfasts, detailed maps and trail descriptions)

From: Ronnie Smith, Vice Chancellor, Administration and Finance Subject: Hurricane Katrina Recovery – Update #105 Posted: November 6, 2009
The three contracts for permanent repairs and hazard mitigation at the Allied Health/Nursing Building, the Student Residence Hall and the Resource Center are in process. Facility Planning and Control anticipates that the signed contracts will be in their hands within the next two weeks and Notices to Proceed will be issued to the contractor shortly thereafter. These three contracts total $10,198,000.00.
FEMA is currently reviewing their draft of the permanent repair and hazard mitigation proposal for the Medical Education Building. This document addresses the elements of our plans for the combined CSRB/MEB project that were not included in the earlier CSRB document that has been signed by LSUHSC and is going thru the internal FEMA review queues at this time. The CSRB proposal included $6,041,074.00 for permanent repairs to the building and $24,184,940.00 for hazard mitigation.
The repair and mitigation proposal for the Central Utility Plant has also been drafted by FEMA and is under review by their 406 Mitigation team. We anticipate receiving both the MEB proposal and the Central Utility Plant document from FEMA for our review and signature in the near future.
Relatively dry weather over the past two weeks has allowed the roofers working on the Resource Center to make steady progress. The nailers for the new flashing have been installed and the 1st ply of the 2-ply roofing system has been laid in areas of the roof. The replacement of the glass panels that form the roof of the atrium has begun. Five of the fourteen rows of glass panels have been removed and replaced.
Work on the construction of ADA compliant entrances into the Clinical Education Building is nearing completion. Crews floated the plaster walls for the 2nd floor corridor build-out, primed and painted them. Workers honed the terrazzo floors and cleaned the marble walls outside of Room 203. New lights and exit lights have been installed in the 2nd Floor entryway. The contractor painted the ceiling tiles in the main corridor outside of the 2nd Floor entrance and installed the access panel in Room 202. Crews installed the storefront system at the 1st Floor garage entrance. They installed the stainless steel cased opening for the entrance and handrails on the handicap accessible ramp. Conduit and wire was run for the fire alarm devices that will be located at the 1st Floor garage entrance.
The project to replace the air handling units throughout the MEB continues on schedule. The contractor demolished and removed the old air handling units 4-A and 5-A, They installed the two new AHUs. Crews installed the chilled water and hot water piping for the units and insulated the new pipes. The ductwork for both air handling units is in place and connected. The electrical and control work has been completed and the contractor is balancing and testing AHU 4-A and 5-A. Facility Services began making preparations moving the temporary A/C units to Quadrant D of the 2nd and 3rd Floors.
The renovations to MDL #4 are well underway. The contractor roughed-in the electrical wiring in Room 4210. They completed the core drilling for the new plumbing. The rough in plumbing and electrical work is underway in the main MDL room and the HVAC duct has been raised. The contractor installed sheetrock in Room 4210.
The contractor opened up the new entrance to the 8th Floor conference room in the Lions/LSU Clinic Building along Gravier Street. They completed framing the new curved wall for the conference room. The framing for the mail room was finished and crews started framing the ceiling fur down along the lab side. Workers continue framing the fur down in the large conference room and in the main lobby area.
The fence project at the City Park Campus has shifted to the rear of the campus grounds. Workers removed three sections of the chain link fence along the de Saix Subdivision; from Moss Street to the security camera, from the security camera to the staff parking lot, and from the parking lot to Navy Road. New fence posts, top and bottom rails and fence fabric were installed from Moss St. to the security camera. Workers set the second section of fence posts from the security camera to the staff parking lot adjacent to the de Saix Subdivision.
A project to upgrade the ventilation/HVAC in the MEB Autopsy room is underway. The contractor demolished the chase wall by Stairwell #5. Crews removed the old exhaust duct from the chase by the 2nd Floor stairwell. Electrical wiring was roughed in. The contractor installed new exhaust duct on the 2nd Floor by the freight elevator. Another new project to renovate the Neurobiology Lab has just begun. The contractor removed the old ceiling tiles, drywall and millwork from the room.
The temporary chiller at the Uptown Campus was removed from the site. The contractor removed the electrical service for the temporary chiller during a scheduled outage on Saturday 10/24/09. They finished installing insulation on chilled water piping and valves. The contractor held training on new chiller operations for LSUHSC and Jani-King personnel. The engineers, LSUHSC and Facility Planning and Control met with contractor on site and developed the punch list.
Here are highlights of work that has been accomplished during the past two weeks.
We encourage you to follow the details of our progress through the daily updates which are posted on the web site.

I bought this blender for my brother for Christmas and he LOVED it! He said it made him happy just knowing it was at his house waiting to be used. He does a lot of protein shakes and it's doing the job better than he expected. I would definitely recommend this to other shoppers.
This blender has all the bells and whistles that you really need.Some blenders may offer more than 5 speeds,or an additional attachment,but when you compare the price (less than $XX and free shipping) this is just a good value. My only other comment is that I would have liked to have seen a few more recipes in the guide book.
My friend does not like refurbished anything. I have a history of buying refurbished as it usually means open package return. This blender looks brand new and works great. Overstock is easy to buy from and delivers items in a timely fashion. Great Value, Good Service, Happy Customer
Even though it is a refurbished appliance, it works wonders, just like a brand new one. Very pleased with the purchase.
I was so excited to open this present from my husband for my birthday. My old one needed replaced badly and he spent a lot of time and energy looking for the best blenders because I use mine often for smoothies and canning (tomatoes, esp). I love the flat button surface that wipes clean because canning tomatoes is messy and juice/seeds used to get in between the old buttons, which was hard to clean on my oster. Loved my oster, but this kitchen aid model knocks it out of the park with excellent power, super fast blending, ease of use, ice crushing, and quick clean up. Would highly recommend!
My old Kitchen Aid which I had replaced parts on numerous times finally blew up. I didn't really want another Kitchen Aid, but found myself on a tighter budget at the moment. This one seemed to offer better quality for the money because it was reconditioned, so I took a chance. The other reviews were good, and they weren't fibbing--I love it, and even love that the canister is poly carbonate instead of glass. It is so much lighter than my old one. I also am positively thrilled that it has the blade built into the bottom rather than, blade, gasket and threaded canister that you have to separate to get it clean. I am not a "use three times a day" blender person, but I do use it frequently and have been more than satisfied with it's performance.

CASA, the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, is celebrating "Family Day" Monday, Sept. 24, with a downloadable guide full of recipes, conversation starters, facts, family fun ideas and more. This guide can be found at HYPERLINK "www.CASAFamilyDay.org" www.CASAFamilyDay.org and is geared to encourage spending time together as a family.
Included in this family guide, countdown to being an engaged parent, are 10 fun things to do as a family: Some examples are going bowling, or simple ideas such as looking at funny photos or writing stories about your family. It includes nine facets of parental engagement; being there, have open lines of communication, set a good example, set rules, monitor whereabouts, maintain family rituals (like eating dinner together!), religious and spiritual practices, engage Dad and keep him engaged, engage friends, teachers, classmates, neighbors and community.
Connect with your kids; listen, share, be involved in their lives and activities. Show them you care; tell them you love them! Listen to them, get to know their schedules, friends, teachers, etc. Ask about their day, projects they're working on and their accomplishments.
Talk to your kids about drugs. We talk to them about everything else, don't be afraid! Understand that addiction is a disease of the brain that in almost all cases starts when you drink, smoke or use other drugs in adolescence when your brain is still developing. Help your child feel comfortable discussing drugs and other difficult topics. Peer pressure may play a role in a child's decision to abuse drugs/alcohol. Encourage your child to be their own person and make their own decisions. Be consistent in your rules and make consequences clear.
Teens that have frequent family dinners (5 to 7/week) are four times less likely to use tobacco, alcohol or drugs compared to those that have infrequent family dinners. Eighteen percent of teens say that they would like to spend more time with their families; only 5 percent say they would like to spend less time together.
Good news! A child who reaches the age of 21 without smoking or using/abusing drugs and/or alcohol may never do so. (From the report: The Importance of Family Dinners VII, CASA, September 2011.)

Posted by InozarDeBenz From Norway on Aug 22, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
30 drops of this liquid supplement (which one is to use each day) consists much less than 1% of the daily value that we need of most minerals listed on the label on this bottle. Listen carefully before you object: So we reason that liquid minerals are more absorable. Ok, I can agree to that. But it doesn't change the fact that the stated amount of minerals in this bottle is close to nothing; in fact It is such a small amount of minerals in this bottle that what you get by buying this product is mainly distilled water. ("De-ionized water"). And since we need a certain amount of minerals as building stones for our body, the very small amount of mineral concentration in this bottle provide us with basically nothing at all. A guinea pig could get mineral deficiency by this low amount of mineral concentration. Even if you pour into yourself the whole bottle in one day, you will not get the half recommended daily dose of the mineral concentration that you need. I have heard that liquid minerals are more absorable to the intestinces, but the extremely low daily dose that we get from this product is ridiculous. Save your money and instead buy a bottle of mineral water. You will get a hundred times more of many of the same minerals for a lot less money. Even tap water consists lots of minerals. This product is truly snake oil.

Corning launches can-stand-the-heat Lotus glass for phones
One of the key brand names tossed around in relation to smartphone and tablets this year has been Corning's Gorilla Glass. Next year, it may be Lotus Glass. Corning announced Lotus' commercial availability yesterday, and immediately began touting the display material's suitability for "cutting-edge technologies", including OLED …
"Scientifically, its coefficient of thermal expansion from 0-300°C is a mere 33.9 x 10-7 per ° C"
Scientifically you need to say 33.9*10^-7 WHAT per degree C, presumably not light years or furlongs. Come on get with it :)
well, actually...
I was astonished to see 33.9 * 10^-7 when the usual notation would be 3.39 * 10^-6.
Especially since 10^-6 is a conventional point of reference usually denoted by 'micro'.
As to the 'What' per degree C, it is just a proportion of the length (or volume for liquids), which in this case is specified for not just one temperature (usually 20C) but the whole 0-300C range.
Some comparisons for other materials here - https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/simple/wiki/Coefficient_of_thermal_expansion
Wow, way to display ignorance
The units are correct, in order to determine the length that a specific item grows you multiply by the length of the item which itself has units.
See for example en.wikipedia.org/coefficient_of_expansion
Time for a lesson
That silly little number is a coefficient, that means it has no units! A metre length of glass will inrease in size by 3.39 micro-metres for each degree c of temperature rise
It's been a few years since I did A-level physics...
> Scientifically you need to say 33.9*10^-7 WHAT per degree C
...But I seem to remember thermal expansion coefficients being fractional changes, and thus dimensionless...
[Who's going off to check, just in case he's just made a total arse of himself. Again.]
Dimensionless, old chap
It's a percentage change in each linear dimension. It gets 0.00000339% bigger with every degree of warming.
Thermal expansivity has no units, as it is basically a percentage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion
No units because it's a proportional increase. It increases it's dimensions by 33.9*10^-7 metres per metre of length per degree. Mteres per metre cancels, leaving just per degree
Coefficient, not unit
It's a coefficient, not a unit. You could determine it experimentally by measuring the length (or volume) of a piece of the material at one temperature, and then again at another temperature, and then divide the two measurements. Because you are dividing the same units the resulting ratio has no units. If you then divide it by the temperature difference you get the coefficient, whose unit is "per degree C". Hence "33.9 * 10^-7 / degree C".
If I may divert the conversation slightly:
While I'm here: "Panini" = "Sandwiches", not "Sandwich". The singular form is "Panino".
Every time I pass some pretentious café or glorified sandwich shop in England and see "panini" used as a singular noun, I want to beat someone repeatedly over the head with a copy of "Il Ragazzini". It's not _that_ hard to look something up in a dictionary. Or even to ask a translator (or, hell, even someone who's bilingual!)
Then again, I twitch every time I see a grocer's apostrophe, so maybe I should get out more.
Standard units please
light years? furlongs? Please use standard El Reg units. Bulgarian funbags or somesuch.
@salerio, errm no.
There is no "WHAT" required, this is a coefficient, it works in any system of units.
(Saying miles per mile per degree Celsius, or metres per metre is redundant.)
However, the author did fail to tell us whether this was a linear, area or volume coefficient, but I'd guess that this is its linear coefficient of expansion, judging by it's size.
There is no WHAT.
The value stated is the fractional expansion per unit of temperature change.
In other words, if you've got a piece of this glass as long as almost 295,000 Bulgarian airbags all lined up, this glass will change its length by one airbag per degree celsius change.
Come on, El Reg. How hard is to to put a link on a webpage?
Corning's announcement:
Waiting for...
... the version marketed with "Energy, style, and enthusiasm" - Lotus Elan
Then the one that does it's job a bit better that the original - Lotus Excel
Then the on that's so thin it's a ghost of the first version - Lotus Esprit
Then the one for iPhone only - Lotus Elite
Any resemblance to Lotus Cars is purely coincidental, unless they actually use this stuff in the new Lotus Esprit, over the engine bay to show off the nice new V8. Or possibly in houses in Évora...
Camera glass
Will they be able to fit it to the camera on a phone as well.
It's great having a scratch free scree on a phone, but when you turn it around and realise the rear camera has been ruined it's kind of annoying.
If it's a coefficient, it's unitless
(Not UNIT-less as we all are without The Brigadier around these days)
@ salerio
No, they don't need to say WHAT per degree C, thermal expansion is just a ratio.
How much it expands depends on how much you've got.
If you're being pedantic, it's 33.9 x 10-7 metres per metre per ° C
If you're being really pedantic the metres cancel out and leave you with 33.9 x 10-7 per ° C
So, yes, light years or furlongs would be fine. As would linguini. If you want linguini per furlong per ° C then the number itself is going to change though.
There is fail, Salerio, and it's yours.
You may, or may not, wish to rethink your comment.
Sorry, it's you that's wrong this time ...
The units of the coefficient of thermal expansion are length per length per Kelvin - therefore just per Kelvin (or per degree C, if you prefer). This one means that per degree C it expands by 3.4 millionths (of its original size). Not quite sure why this was expressed with the exponent -7 though.
It's a ratio...
..so it's dimensionless.
I thought I'd repeat it too, seems everyone else has.
Is it from Norfolk?
With the rest of Lotus products.
(I know that the Russelheim and Linwood ones were only finished there)
Given that Lotus Group vs Lotus Motorsport Vs Team Lotus vs Lotus F1 are still battling it out over the name "Lotus", does anyone really want to bring a product to market right now which includes "Lotus" in the title?
Euan Sheet.
Bounty - not Lotus.

Thread: Is Benjamin too overused?
May 26th, 2013 08:08 AM #11
Benjamin was my grandpa's name, and is still on the table as a possibility for us. Benjamin is quite high up there on the charts, but that's because it's a tried-and-true classic... It's stood the test of time, and yet it's still a favourite. I think it fits nicely with your other names, and has the same Biblical charm.

I don't think it's overused, I think I've only met 2 Ben's in my whole life. It's a lovely name and a timeless classic.

I work at at Children's hospital and I've seen a lot of Ben's lately ... so I would have to disagree with the others and say that I do think it is becoming overused. That being said, it is one of my favourites - and the popularity is one of the only things holding me back on it. I think it goes really nicely with your sibset.

I don't think it's any more overused than your other children's names. Which are all familiar, but gorgeous and timeless. I think it fits in really well with your other children. Honestly, I only know one Benjamin under the age of 10--I know much more my own age or who went to school with one of my little sisters (the youngest of which is now a senior in high school, so almost an entirely different generation). I think Benjamin's lovely, and I would love to see it with John, Daniel, Samuel, Matthew, Grace, and and Peter!
Good luck!Lise

Confederate railroads in the American Civil War
During the American Civil War, the Confederate States Army depended heavily on railroads to get supplies to its lines.
The outbreak of war had a depressing effect on the economic fortunes of the Confederate railroad industry. With the cotton crop being hoarded in an attempt to entice European intervention, railroads were bereft of their main source of income.[1] Many were forced to lay off employees, and in particular, let go skilled technicians and engineers.[1] Due to a general sentiment that the war would not last long, initially Confederate rail operators did not seek, nor build, alternative sources of iron for rail construction and repair.[2]
Although railroad contracts to port-towns had ceased, due to the combined effects of the Cotton export policy and the Union naval blockade, lucrative government contracts were doled out to rail operators with lines supplying men and arms to the front line of Tennessee and Virginia.[1] A consortium of rail operators had decided upon a universal rate for government contracts; "a uniform rate of two cents a mile for men and half the regular local rate for munitions, provisions, and material, and also agreed to accept Confederate bonds at par in payment of government transportation."[3]
In addition, the Confederacy suffered from two key railroad deficiencies. The first was the lack of a true rail network; instead, rail lines usually connected ports and river terminals to points inland. This lack of inter-railway connections caused many railroads to become useless once the Union blockade was in place. A second concern was a break of gauge; much of the Confederate rail network was in the broad gauge format, but much of North Carolina and Virginia had standard gauge lines. Southern railroads west of the Mississippi were isolated, disconnected, and differed widely in gauge.[4]
As troop movement began in earnest in May and June 1861, a crippling problem was discovered; many rail lines terminated in towns without connecting to continuing lines.[5] Instead, cargo would have to be unloaded, driven across town, and then reloaded. Soldiers, and other passengers, would often have to stay overnight to catch a continuing train the next day.[5] When the Confederate government attempted to rectify this problem, they ran into local opposition. Towns preferred the lack of connection, since it required the hiring of teamsters and populated hotels with guests.[5] Railroad operators, while not opposed to connecting lines, were opposed to the possibility of sharing rolling stock with rival companies.[5]
In April 1863, the presidents of the southern railroads again convened in Richmond and again addressed Secretary Seddon on the condition of the rails and appealed to Congress for remedial legislation...No record is available which shows that these recommendations were acted upon by the confederate government.[6]
As 1862 opened, the Confederacy built a 5.5 miles (8.9 km) spur off the Orange and Alexandria Railroad at Manassas Junction toward Centreville, Virginia known as the Centreville Military Railroad. It served to supply the Confederate defenses on the Centreville Plateau along the north side of the Bull Run feed into the Occoquan River.[citation needed]
As the war waged on attempts were made by railroad operators to acquire railroad supplies abroad, necessitated by the Confederacy's small industrial base.[7] The problem of supplies had become increasingly acute, especially with respect to the already small supply of engines and cars. Stressed by overuse, lacking material to make repairs, and the conscription of men who could make them, rail operators were predicting a breaking point as early as 1862.[8] While railroad operators attempted, throughout the war, to get assistance from the Confederate Congress, the response was either indifferent or hostile.[7]
It was not until mid-1863 that the Confederate government initiated an overall policy concerning railroads, and even then it was confined solely to aiding the war effort.[6] With the legislation of impressment the same year, railroads and their rolling stock came under the de facto control of the military. In March 1864, the Quartermaster General ordered all passenger trains to give governmental trains the right of way.[9] By mid-1864, all passenger service in the Confederacy had come to a standstill.[9] Transport of goods for civilian use was also affected, exacerbating shortages brought on by wartime devastation, rampant speculation and hoarding, and the Confederacy's impressment policy.[9]
In the last year before the end of the war, the Confederate railroad system was always on the verge of collapse. The impressment policy of quartermasters ran the rails ragged. Feeder lines would be scrapped for replacement steel for trunk lines, and the continual use of rolling stock wore them down faster than they could be replaced.[10]
Union Use[edit]
As the Union armies pushed further into Confederate territory, they came into ownership of former Confederate railway lines, or what was left of them. Confederate troops generally applied a scorched-earth policy towards railroads when they were in retreat.[11] Union troops would often have to rebuild an entire line from scratch for it to be usable.[11] Due to the vagaries of the war, some lines would be rebuilt 6 or 7 times by differing sides, especially in states like Virginia, where fighting was most intense.[11][12]
Attempts were made to enlarge the Confederacy's rail system by adding or connecting lines. Of the three major rail projects the Confederate congress proposed and funded, only one of them, a connection between Danville, Virginia, and Greensboro, North Carolina, was completed.[13] Ironically, although the Confederate constitution forbade internal improvements to aid commerce, nothing within it said anything about improvements to aid wartime defense.[14]

Also, Naomi Campbell walked D&G's menswear show, Michelle Obama wears a lot of clothes by Maria Pinto, and Posh's nipple conundrum.
