- 231: Music Censorship
- ... really like. Today's performers, however, do not act like that in real life, for the most part. Today, performers take on challenges, like the dare of a child. . . "Betcha won't do it!" These rock performers cannot turn down a dare or back away from even the slightest bit of public notoriety. By listening to one of their "questionable" albums, it is easily noticeable how they thrive off of it ... for the same reason (Zucchino 9). Because of FCC regulations, the music a station chooses to air cannot be controlled, let alone how often the music is played (Zucchino 9). Lewd or otherwise, actions of rock performers at their concerts, cannot be controlled because only the performers can control their actions (Zucchino 3).

Placing "questionable" albums behind the counter or wrapping them in a ...
- 232: The Influence That Hsi Yu Chi
- ... to make their observations. The book is very straight forward and littered with short poetry verses throughout. We are soon introduced to the main character, the monkey who is born from the embryo of a rock. The book describes the rock as having nine perforations and eight holes to correspond with the nine palaces of heaven and the eight trigrams. I could find absolutely no reason why the rock would have to have markings which correspond with divine symbols and I am sure that the author meant nothing by writing that they do, but apparently, many scholars have written long and tedious essays ...

- ... downward and laterally through the subsurface. Eventually it discharges through hillside springs or seeps into streams, lakes, and the ocean where it is again evaporated to perpetuate the cycle. GROUND WATER AND SUBSURFACE WATER Most rock or soil near the earth's surface is composed of solids and voids. The voids are spaces between grains of sand, or cracks in dense rock. All water beneath the land surface occurs within such void space sand is referred to as underground or subsurface water. Subsurface water occurs in two different zones. One zone, located immediately beneath the land surface ... of water to a well or spring. Ground water occurs in aquifers under two conditions: confined and unconfined. A confined aquifer is overlain by a confining bed, such as an impermeable layer of clay or rock. An unconfined aquifer has no confining bed above it and is usually open to infiltration from the surface. Unconfined aquifers are often shallow and frequently overlie one or more confined aquifers. They are recharged ...
- 234: BoB Dylan
- ... school years when he taught himself basic piano and guitar. From these rudimentary skills Dylan would build his knowledge and experience in music to his present status as a forefather of folk music in the rock era. Accordingly, a song from the pinnacle of his career embodies his style and poetic capabilities, acting as a reference point of the music it followed and the music that was to come. Sad Eyed ... as he entered Hibbing High School. During his high school years Dylan would become involved in musical productions and attempt forming many bands with such names as the Golden Chords and Elston Gunn and His Rock Boppers. He began to idolize such new rock stars as Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis to the point that his high school yearbook listed his goal in life as “joining Little Richard”. An eighteen year old Dylan left his hometown of ...
- 235: Aleins Among Us
- ... made mostly of pine trees, and the needles put a bounce in the young boy’s step and kept him cheerful. At the clearing he stopped, as he always did, and rested upon a large rock and observed the inky-black sky. This was his favorite spot, his secret spot. Stars shined far brighter here then they did in town, and Jim always felt like he could stay forever. He sighed ... on Forth of July. The dozens became hundreds until finally a large radiant circle seemed to be coming straight down above Jim. He let out a sharp little scream of excitement and sprang from the rock, twirling around and around singing to himself as he always did when he was really cheerful. It was another minute before he realized that they weren’t meteors anymore, but actually the colorful bottom of ... pitched pings that got louder and louder. Then everything faded away. No more sound, no more light, no more slime, no pain. Jim leaned just a few feet to far to one side of his rock and tumbled onto the ground. He was shaking with fear. The ground was damp and cool. His head throbbed. Slowly the young boy opened his eyes and looked up. There were the stars. Millions ...
- 236: Comparison of Margaret Mead's "Coming in Age" to Russian Youth
- ... of personality differences" (Mead, 1973, 161). The Samoan's strong cultural and family traditional values do not allow for individualism. In comparison, Soviet youth express their individualism through youth cultures such as punk, 'metallist' hard-rock groups and "golden youth". Although they feel they are expressing individuality through these groups, they are actually fitting into different structures, values and in fact, a totally different societal group. Soviet society is concerned about what these youth cultures stand for, in particular the 'metallist' hard-rock groups. "They hate and despise our whole system, all our values. That's why they're dangerous, and why I'm pessimistic about the future" (Wilson, 1988, 22). In their defence, Alexei Kozlov, a member of a band, "extolled the virtues of heavy-metal rock." He said it was "an emotional outlet for underprivileged and unemployed young people...to work out their resentment...if we forbid this music, they will display their aggressiveness in other forms" (Traver, 1989, 1991). ...
- 237: Ontology
- ... of conjecture with its object as images such as reflections, shadows, or any second hand experience. The next stage is that of belief which has as its object as a specific thing, i.e. a rock.

To progress from opinion to knowledge, a specific thing must be grasped as theory ... a difference between my soul and my body, and so Plato is right too. But that is the extent to which their philosophies make sense to me. To me it does not matter whether a rock is really a rock, if the true rock exists in some distant plane, or even if it is part of my being. My own spiritual exploration is limited to the nature of my interactions with other people and ...

- ... yet produced”(Beaham 22). In many of Lovecraft’s writings he always used his present surroundings as the back drop of his stories. King has followed in his footsteps with the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine. Castle Rock is a combination of several towns that King moved to and from with his family in his childhood. The main town that it resembles is that of Durham, Maine. It was after the exposure to ... is written with Gordie narrating in the present time look back at the journey. At the time of his flashback, Gordie is a best selling author who has returned to his home town of Castle Rock to revisit his past.

- 239: Geology of the Deschutes Basin
- ... was made at this time as well. In the early Miocene Age the basin got covered with a thin layer of ash and lava from the close volcanoes and the Western Cascades. This layer of rock is called Sintustus formation. This rock is easily distinguished from the Deschutes formation because of the coarseness of the Deschutes compared to the Sintustus. There was then a break in geologic activity of about 5 million years landing us around 8 ... Butte is a composite cone with no crater. This Butte is surrounded by older lava from the Newberry crater area. Both Pilot and Awbrey Butte are Kipukas because they are both islands surrounded by older rock.

This self evaluation of her state of being might suggest she has turned from strong minded, rock like, to a weaker state of mind, like air. Also in her name, Jane Eyre. If she had stayed with Rochester she would have stayed strong, like a rock, and her name would have changed with marrying him, taking her away from air. Also when Jane goes back to Rochester and he doesn't fully believe it's her, he asks her... "In ...
