Wayne is a commuter rail station located in the western suburbs of Philadelphia at North Wayne Avenue & West Avenue in Wayne, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. It is served by most Paoli/Thorndale Line trains.
The Wayne station was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad from 1882 to 1884, on a design by Washington Bleddyn Powell. The original builder was William H. Bilyeu. It consists of two Victorian buildings flanking the rail lines and connected by an underground tunnel. The station building was restored from 1998 to 2010 with significant local community support and funding. The year after this restoration project began, the station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The scope of this restoration included repair or replacement of the chimney, masonry, windows, doors, and the retaining wall.
SEPTA began a $22.7 million second phase of improvements that included roof replacement, repairs to the masonry and structural members, and other upgrades to the station building. The outbound shelter, dating from about 1890, was disassembled and completely rebuilt, mostly with new materials. In addition, ADA-mandated improvements including new high-level platforms, stairs and ramps to the platforms, building modifications, lighting, handrails, and signage was installed. The new platforms, on both the inbound and outbound sides east of the station building, meant that trains no longer stop in front of the station itself, except in special cases.
Wakefulness is a daily recurring brain state and state of consciousness in which an individual is conscious and engages in coherent cognitive and behavioral responses to the external world such as communication, ambulation, eating, and sex. Being awake is the opposite of the state of being asleep in which most external inputs to the brain are excluded from neural processing.
The longer the brain has been awake, the greater the spontaneous firing rates of cerebral cortex neurons with this increase being reversed by sleep. Another effect of wakefulness (which may or may not be related to this) is that it lowers the small stores of glycogen held in the astrocytes that can supply energy to the brain's neurons—one of the functions of sleep, it has been proposed, is to create the opportunity for them to be replenished.
Wakefulness is produced by a complex interaction between multiple neurotransmitter systems arising in the brainstem and ascending through the midbrain, hypothalamus, thalamus and basal forebrain. The posterior hypothalamus plays a key role in the maintenance of the cortical activation that underlies wakefulness. Several systems originating in this part of the brain control the shift from wakefulness into sleep and sleep into wakefulness. Histamine neurons in the tuberomammillary nucleus and nearby adjacent posterior hypothalamus project to the entire brain and are the most wake-selective system so far identified in the brain. Another key system is that provided by the orexins (also known as hypocretins) projecting neurons. These exist in areas adjacent to histamine neurons and like them project widely to most brain areas and associate with arousal. Orexin deficiency has been identified as responsible for narcolepsy.
Awake is an English language hit in Norway for the Norwegian band Donkeyboy, their fourth single taken from their album Caught in a Life after singles "Ambitions" and "Sometimes" (both #1s for 13 and 8 weeks consecutively in the Norwegian Singles Chart) and "Broke My Eyes" (that reached #6).
"Awake" released in 2009 reached #8 in the Norwegian Singles Chart.
Awake is the second studio album by the rock band Godsmack, released on October 31, 2000. It features the song "Goin' Down", which first appeared on the band's first studio recording All Wound Up. This was the only Godsmack album to feature drummer Tommy Stewart.
Since the mid-2000s, the songs "Sick of Life" and "Awake" have been extensively used for the United States Navy's "Accelerate Your Life" commercials.
The band opted to convert a warehouse in Haverhill into a makeshift studio, rather than use a more traditional studio setting. According to Sully Erna, the band just didn't want to move into any luxurious studio, because they wanted to keep the edge on for writing and "not get too far away from what we're all about". So they just stayed in the slums rather than moving into luxury.
Erna says the results show in the music's "tougher" sound, however it has a very raw edge to it. It's not very polished," he says. "But it still has a lot of good grooves, and it still has a lot of power."
[Rapper Big Pooh]
Ye-yeah! One more time, one last number..
Chaundon, where you at, nigga?
It's the future right here, man
We startin' it right now...Let's get it goin', Big Pooh, UH!
My attitude real shitty, temper short
My mind cluttered like the streets of New York
I ain't tryna take a 'L', 'cause I casually fought
This shit, real serious not casual sport
Let time fly by as I pen these thoughts
And I'm speedin through life wit my car in park
And even in the day sometimes it's dark
and that cloud hoverin low is not the worst part
Second guessin yourself, tryna remain sharp
See niggaz blowin up who ain't got yo SPARK, uh
and that alone is a burden to carry
Either you'll get strong or you'll get buried
and rap keep plenty room in the cemetery
Pull out your Blackberry's change yo itineraries
You see, you could be the shit today
and tomorrow wake up, fame blown away!
And homey on the real, ain't nothin you can say
That's why I work hard now, got later to lay
In the sands on the beach, mixin drinks wit Belvy
The world's gon' remember my name, muhfuckaz!
[Chorus]
Now they heard some of yo songs, and peeped you from the side
and watched yo videos and seen the car you drive
CHILLLLL! - And we know what to expect my nigga
Done seen it all before I ain't impressed, my nigga
But they heard some of our songs, and peeped us from the side
and came out to the shows and seen us on the grind
CHILLLLL! - And this is how we get down muhfuckaz
We don't care who got next, this is now muhfuckaz!
[Phonte]
I tried to work wit niggaz, don't wanna jerk them niggaz
But everybody's runnin around thinkin they murderers
Gave birth to niggaz, and when I burp them niggaz
The spit up old lines that I fed to them earlier
and this is what the state of hip-hop is like
I'm thinkin', "Damn, this cannot be right"
and I agree that everybody's a biter
But if you Xerox my style, then that's infringin on my copy, right?
It's the bottom of the 9th with no extra innings
and we all in the game tryna collect the pennants
and from the, old school, I'm a direct descendant
and y'all can feel it at the end of each sentence
'Cause underground rap is just immense and gimmicks
An image they phone in for ten cents a minute
I knew that since I entered, the rap game, my style
would have niggaz takin it back, but what about now?
I think about the youth and how their minds are so closed
'Cause now "Rap City" look like "Video Soul"
and that's a sad state of affairs
But no need to despair, 'cause we the next ones that's takin' it there, ya know!
[Chorus]
Now they heard some of yo songs, and peeped you from the side
and watched yo videos and seen the car you drive
CHILLLLL! - And we know what to expect my nigga
Done seen it all before I ain't impressed, my nigga
But they heard some of our songs, and peeped us from the side
and came out to the shows and seen us on the grind
CHILLLLL! - And this is how we get down muhfuckaz
We don't care who got next, this is now muhfuckaz!
[Chaundon]
A note to my opponents, yeah, I got now
and I always got next 'cause I cease every moment
I'm an opportunist wit ambition
Keep an eye on that number one spot before it wind up missin'
And the heart of this bein is the art of MCin
I feel I'm God wit the flow, 'cause people started believin, HUH
So what I'm cocky, who gon' stop me?
Twist hoes, leave 'em knock knead, smile for paparazzi
This is how I get down
Got a crib in every hood, so I'm always the hottest nigga in town
Hate it or love it, who fuckin' wit our music?
Yeah, y'all niggaz is the SHIT when it comes to bowel movements
Pooh showed and proved it, can't sleep on his game
'Te converted all the currency with Foreign Exchange
Up next to rock the booth iiiis a rapper named Chaundon
The Bronx Borough President wit' "No Excuses"
Doubtin' me is foolish, don't ask who produced this!
Knowin damn well only 9th can do this
It's no secret, Lyor even know
when me and Little Brother flow, it's guaranteed another video!
[Chorus]
Now they heard some of yo songs, and peeped you from the side
and watched yo videos and seen the car you drive
CHILLLLL! - And we know what to expect my nigga
Done seen it all before I ain't impressed, my nigga
But they heard some of our songs, and peeped us from the side
and came out to the shows and seen us on the grind
CHILLLLL! - And this is how we get down muhfuckaz
We don't care who got next, this is now muhfuckaz!

[Outro: Phonte]
On behalf of myself, Phonte, Big Pooh, and 9th Wonder

I wanna thank ya'll, for watchin this shit
