Top 100 Most Inspiring Songs: Songs 40-21
Like A Rock - Bob Segar
There's a number of empowering female ballads on our list, and far less performed by men. Fortunately, Bob Segar is here to show that he is man enough to sing about his feelings. My father and I used to drive around listening to his Bob Segar tape on repeat, and I always thought this song described him as well as any song could. During the '90s this song became most strongly associated with Chevy's line of delightfully manly trucks, so much so that it is easy to forget that there is a real song under there and not just a product jingle. So, take a listen, you may be surprised at just how inspiring the song actually is! It is hard to find a man's song that captures what it is like to stand up for yourself, but we men have to psych ourselves up too.

Transfer credit is generally only considered from international tertiary or post-secondary institutions that are recognized by the ministry of education, or a similar accrediting body, in your home country. Transfer Credit may reduce the number of courses or subjects and the amount of time required to study at UCO.
In order for us to begin your transfer credit evaluation, please follow these steps as below:
Accurate information about the number of credits accepted from your previous school attended or (how long it would take you to graduate from UCO) will not be available until you have applied and have been accepted to the University of Central Oklahoma. Don'twait. APPLY NOW!
Because of the differences between the educational system in your home country and the American system, we would like to request for you to provide a syllabus or course description in English for each course/subject you previously studied at your previous college or university. The syllabus or course description should include as much detailed information as possible about the book(s), topic(s), grading system for each subject, as well as the amount of time you spent in the classroom and/or laboratories. If you want an example of a syllabus, please download as below.
If you learned that your current or previous university has a cooperative or transfer arrangement with UCO, there is a possibility that some of these courses have already been articulated. Please understand that UCO do not post all the Transfer Equivalency information for all the colleges or universities in the Online Transfer guide. As such, please check with International Services to verify the information.
To view the Online Transfer Guide, please click
Once you have compiled the syllabus or course description, you may send them to the International Services office by email, fax or mail. If you plan to email them, please ensure that it is prepared in either JPEG, PDF or Microsoft Word format.
Once the International Services Office has received your syllabus or course description, we will review the recognition/accreditation of your university before forwarding to the UCO Articulation Office. The Articulation Office reviews transcript before sending each syllabus or course description to the relevant department chairpersons for the evaluation and final decision on the courses you have taken. The duration of this process may vary but the average length of time is between four to eight weeks. There are many cases where the department chairperson would like to conduct an interview with you to determine the transferability of the courses if your course descriptions are unclear. Please check with your International Admissions Advisor for status.
Once your syllabus or course description evaluation is complete, the UCO Articulation Office will then update the records prior to your undergraduate academic advisor determining the number of courses required for you to graduate from UCO with a Bachelor's Degree inthe major you had chosen. A suggested study plan and major course sheet will then be sent to you by email.

Music has always been such an important part of daily life and culture – both an outlet for stress relief and creativity, the subtle tempos, beats and bass of any song can leave us automatically feeling better than we did prior to listening. In our ever-evolving world, however, the audio experience has moved beyond simple music alone and has grown to include elements such as podcasts, television, and video gaming. As such, more and more people are in search of quality audio solutions that provide excellent quality, durability and simple use without breaking the bank. A variety of headphones and audio solutions now exist that meet this criteria: below, we will discuss three of them and how each may be able to benefit you on a run, in the sky or at the office.
JLab Go Wireless Bluetooth Headphones
With so much integrated technology now at our disposal, more and more people have become frustrated with the hassles and tangles that come with traditional earbuds and audio solutions. Many are not yet ready nor may have the money to invest in a premium wireless solution, but solid economic alternatives do exist. Whether you are out for a job or at the gym and need your hands free from distractions, the JLab Go unit's one piece design ensures that it will remain snug around your ears and eliminate any chances of cords tripping you up while working out. The simple controls on the unit allow users to adjust, skip, pause and change volume with no need to interact with the host device. The JLab Go Wireless Bluetooth Headphones system costs just $40 but provides users with Bluetooth connectivity and a range of up to thirty feet.
AfterShokz AS330 Bluetooth Headset
Similar in design when compared to the Jlab Go but a step-up in terms of design and functionality, the AfterShokz AS330 Bluetooth Headset is currently available for $100 through select retailers. It utilizes bone conduction technology to deliver sound straight to your inner ear while bypassing the eardrums, connects to any Bluetooth enabled device and can answer calls hands-free. It also features a noise-cancelling microphone for clear audio on the other end. This unit is perfect for those at work who want to enjoy their tunes while also being able to answer calls without interruption. Simply charge via USB and the AfterShokz is ready to provide hours of entertainment and functionality.
Sennheiser RS 160 Wireless Stereo Headphones
Billed as one of the premium solutions to wireless stereo sound, the Sennheiser RS 160 Wireless Stereo Headphones are a great way for those who wish to travel in peace to block out noises around them. These closed back, around the ear headphones provide insulated sound that keeps distractions and ongoings outside of your interest from filtering in, while the digital volume control allows for quick adjustments as needed. Capable of providing up to 24 hours use on one single charge, the Sennheiser will only need to be charged occasionally to ensure proper function. With a 10 metre range and a price tag of $200, the Sennheiser is still within the reach of audiophiles and travellers who want a comprehensive audio solution for on-the-road, hands-free fun.

Summer solstice begins Monday. It marks the sun's peak and the longest day of the year. But why doesn't it typically mark summer's peak heat?
Lefteris Pitarakis/AP
The pools have opened and kids are out for summer break, but in an astronomical sense summer begins Monday, which is officially summer solstice for the Northern Hemisphere.
The relative positions of sun and Earth deem it so. Here's what's behind that timing:
Earth is tilted on its axis 23.5 degrees, so it leans one way as it spins around its axis while orbiting the sun. On June 21 this year (some years it's June 20), the North Pole is pointing toward the sun as much as is possible. (Winter solstice occurs when the top half of our planet, everything north of the equator, faces directly away from the sun, leaving the North Pole in complete darkness.)
The sun will be as high in the sky as it can go at 7:28 a.m. EDT (11:45 UTC) and will stay in the sky for a fraction of a second longer than the day prior or the day after.
IN PICTURES: Summer solstice celebration at Stonehenge
Since Monday marks the sun's peak, you might wonder why June 21 doesn't typically mark summer's peak heat. The reason has to do with the slow pace at which oceans heat up and cool down. By mid-June the oceans of the Northern Hemisphere are still cool from winter's chill, delaying the peak air temperatures by a month and a half, according to NASA.
Earth is actually farther away from the sun during the summer than it is during the winter months, because our planet's orbit is elliptical, a squished circle of sorts.
The difference is about 3 million miles (5 million kilometers), and it makes a difference in radiant heat received by the entire Earth of nearly 7 percent. But the difference is more than made up for by the longer days in the Northern Hemisphere summer with the sun higher in the sky.
Days may be longest during the summer, but nights aren't at their shortest. Before sunrise and after sunset some light gets scattered over the horizon by the atmosphere. This light, called twilight, lasts longest during this time of year.
There are three types of twilight:
And once the sun is more than 18 degrees below the horizon, the sky is dark enough to view the stars. Some places at high altitude don't experience all flavors of twilight. Saint Petersburg, Russia, is famous for its "white nights," when civil twilight reigns over the summer.

Mother's Day is May 12th, that is a week from this Sunday. There are likely to be lots of articles to suggest ways to honor your mom or help your children honor their mom. I would like to take a different approach and speak to moms directly. Give yourself permission to pat yourself on the back and to take a break. Parenting is both the toughest and most rewarding job in the world. This is a good time to remind moms (fathers too) that you have to fill your own bucket before…Continue

After celebrating Mother's Day this past weekend, I'm not afraid to toot my own horn and say that my kids are huge fans of their mama.

My mother suddenly passed away four years ago and not a day goes by that I don't think of her and miss her dearly. Losing my mother, even though I was in my 40′s, felt like I was being abandoned. I felt a sense of loss that was so paralyzing. I was left unable to take care of myself or make a single decision on my own. I could not fathom that she was actually gone. I would often pick up the phone on Sunday to call her, since that was our standing phone date after my father passed…Continue

First Team
Nicole Vega, Fr., F
Thornton Fractional
Stats: 55 goals, 5 assists
Scouting report: That's not a typo. Vega scored 55 goals in her first year of prep soccer, and her goal total probably could have been closer to 70 if not for limited second-half playing time. She helped her team to 14-5 record overall and a 8-3 record in the South Suburban Blue.
Hailey Losselyong, Jr., F
Marian Catholic
Stats: 19 goals, 3 assists
Scouting report: Losselyong was the team MVP in 2013 and was an all-conference selection in the East Suburban Catholic Conference. Losselyong was also a big factor in the Spartans' 2013 playoff push to the Class 2A Lincoln-Way West Sectional championship. Her hat trick against Lincoln-Way West in the Rich East Regional championship helped advance the Spartans. Losselyong is primed for a big offensive yea in 2014.
Adrianna Vera, Fr., F
Stats: 25 goals, 6 assists
Scouting report: The leading scorer for the Warriors, Vera is another freshman who made a big impact with her team. She helped lead the Warriors to a share of the Southland Athletic Conference title with a 7-1 SAC record. Vera's two late goals against rival Bloom in a 4-3 win May 7 proved she can be a big player in big games.
Monica Munoz, So., MF
Thornton Fractional
Stats: 20 goals, 18 assists
Scouting report: Munoz was a Times all-area selection her freshman season and returns to the team again. Munoz was able to set the table for teammate Nicole Vega, and her 20 goals prove she can be a second scoring threat when T.F. needs her. Munoz may be the best all-around player in the area, and is a force in the middle of the field. Her ability to get the ball to her forwards for scoring chances makes her a dream midfielder for any soccer program.
Jazmin Aldape, Jr., MF
Bloom Township
Stats: 12 goals, 16 assists
Scouting report: Aldape was a Southland Athletic Conference pick and is the heart and soul of Bloom Township. Aldape's balanced stat sheet shows she can score when needed, but she is also the main facilitator for the Blazing Trojans. Bloom finished with an overall record of 12-5 and a 7-1 record and share of the conference crown in the SAC, and Aldape led the way. She was also an all-sectional selection in 2013.
Liliana Briseno, Fr., F
Stats: 14 goals
Scouting report: Briseno helped lead the Patriots to a 10-4-2 record, including 7-2-1 in Chicago Public League play, providing the bulk of the Washington offense as a freshman. The Patriots are a young team and always in contention in the CPL, and Briseno could become the center of their attack.
Andi Hernandez, So., MF
Bloom Township
Stats: 16 goals, 15 assists
Scouting report: Along with Aldape, Hernandez was an all-Southland Athletic Conference selection. She showed she can provide good balance in the Blazing Trojan midfield. With her 16 goals, Hernandez also provided a nice boost to the Bloom offense. If she can continue her rate of progress, Hernandez may develop into one of the best players in the area over the next two seasons.
Chrissy Coderre, Sr., D
Stats: 8 goals, 6 assists
Scouting report: Coderre was a jack of all trades for the Vikings. When needed, she could move from her sweeper position and become more of a forward scoring threat. Her eight goals led the team, showing some of the scoring trouble the Vikings faced. Coderre was an all-SouthWest Suburban Blue Conference selection and a four-year varsity starter. She will play next year for Illinois Wesleyan.
Christina Franzese, Sr., D
Marian Catholic
Stats: 2 goals, 2 assists
Scouting report: Franzese was as important to the Spartan defense as Losselyong was to the Marian Catholic offense. Franzese's two goals came at an opportune time against Crete-Monee in the regional semifinals, lifting the Spartans to a 3-0 win. Franzese was at the center of an M.C. defense that held a good Lincoln-Way West and Tinley Park offenses in check during the Spartans' playoff run.
Kim Boehm, Sr., GK
Stats: 0.95 goals against average, 11 shutouts
Scouting report: Boehm was a brick wall for the Vikings. The senior captain was an all-Southwest Suburban Blue Conference selection. She finished her career with 45 shutouts. Boehm has continued to grow as a keeper and has developed into one of the top goaltenders in the entire state. Her save percentage of 91 helped boost Homewood-Flossmoor to a 12-7-1 record.
Amanda Baron, Sr., MF
Stats: 12 goals, 11 assists
Scouting report: Baron has had a quiet but solid career for the Warriors, and while her numbers may not be eye-popping, she has been the heart of the Warriors' team for the past two seasons. Baron finishes her career with 34 goals and has always been able and willing to play where the Warriors have needed her. Baron helped propel the Warriors to a share of the Southland Athletic Conference title with a 7-1 record.
Annie Brucer, Jr., D
Illiana Christian
Stats: 1 assist
Scouting report: Brucer and the Vikings may have had some growing pains, but there is plenty to build on for Illiana Christian. Brucer was its best defender on a unit that posted six shutouts this season and included a freshman goal keeper. Brucer was also an all-conference selection in the Metro Suburban Conference.

Kylie wraps herself round Dalek
Oz popstress Kylie Minogue has made a guest appearance on the cover of the latest issue of the Doctor Who magazine wrapped around a rather unimpressed-looking Dalek.

Can we have a new Icon in our Xmas Stocking please?
One for Kylie please :oD (And I wish I was close to her stoc..... oh god...!)
Kylie is hot
If I was inside that Dalek costume they wouldn't need to stick on a ray gun.
I'd also do the locomotion. :P
Can we have a dalek / exterminate icon
Victor Lewis Smith
As a quick geek reference... the new series daleks are bigger than the old series ones.
with nobs on
Have you noticed how Daleks are also nobbly!!
I can see the smile on her face now.
@Mad Mike
There's a dalek in the picture?
Is it me . .
. . . or is that Dalek excited to see Kylie?
@first Anon Cow
"Public Service"? Now *that's* worth a seat in the House of Lords..........
Yup, with the ermine trim.
A question
Am I the only person in here[1] to find Ms. Minogue about as alluring a Julie Andrews[2]?
1 - Britain, I think
2 - which is to say, not at all
Re: A question
Maybe, Julie Andrews is pretty hot.
@first post
There are several Katy Manning pictures. Yahoo image search is your friend.
@Alan Davies
It seems hopeful but I think it will be disappointed not to get the same treatment as its predecessor.
And yet another...
This one's barely icon-sized, if anyone has a larger version, well...
Plays what?
I read the following:
"Kylie, who plays a wetness..."
Freudian slip[pery], I suppose.
Julie Andrews is utterly sexless, there is no comparison.
Paris because "that's hot".
Hi Rez, Anyone?
I really would like a hi rez version of this photo...
I've seen better
Kylie Minogue? Katy Manning? <yawn>
What the Doctor needs are more companions like Leela (Louise Jameson). Now there's a girl who really knew how to wear a skin.
A better Katy Manning
BTW She immigrated down under, so she belongs to us Aussies now.
'ere, Big Pete, send her back (by TARDIS, obv.) and you can have /both/ Minogue sisters...
PT, you are this: right.
"the new series daleks are bigger than the old series ones"
No. The old series ones are just *far away*.
Could Lewis Page comment on the knife-holding grip of Leela Please?
Seems to me that knife is just Not Held Right.

There was nothing like Children's Care Hospital & School where Trevor and Kelley Lehfeldt lived. No one ever expects to need Children's Care Hospital and School. But we are here for families like the Lehfeldts once they discover they need specialized, pediatric therapies for their children.
When Kelley was six weeks pregnant she was told there were 4 embryos. Doctors said not all the embryos would probably develop, and those that had a 75% chance of gestating to 30 weeks, the earliest that doctors wanted to deliver the babies. Kelley continued with monthly appointments throughout the pregnancy.
At 24 ½ weeks, Kelley didn't feel right and went to the hospital. Doctors told her she was having Braxton-Hicks contractions (false contractions that prepare the body for delivery). They didn't examine her, but simply sent her home.
Born Too Early
Trying to deliver only one of the babies was too risky and all four babies were delivered. The delivery room was crowded with a doctor, nurse, and respiratory therapist for each baby and doctors for Kelley.
Lance weighed 1 lb.9 oz. Lilley weighed 1 lb. 6.5 oz. Keaton weighed 1 lb. 7.75 oz., and Jonah weighed 1 lb. 11 oz. Kelley and Trevor were told the babies had only a 20% chance of surviving and that Lance would most certainly die.
All four of the babies had life-threatening health problems. All of them needed help breathing as soon as they were born. They were all on ventilators with collapsed lungs. In the first year they had over 30 surgeries.
Coming Home
Lilley, Keaton and Lance went home when they were 3 ½ months old. Kelley and Trevor were overjoyed to bring their babies home, but they were also scared.
Jonah remained on a ventilator longer than the other three. He came home from the hospital shortly after his 1st birthday. The hospital wouldn't discharge him without a nurse but neither their insurance plan nor Medicaid would pay for a nurse. They finally were able to get a 24-hour-a-day nurse for the first 60 hours Jonah was home.
Little Jonah was home for four months. The week before he was scheduled to have his ventilator trach removed, he turned his head in the night while sleeping and disconnected it. Kelley worked to revive him, an ambulance came, and he was put on life support. He had been without oxygen for too long. They disconnected the life support and Jonah passed away in Kelley's arms. He was 15 months old.
The Move to Sioux Falls
The Lehfeldts were living out of state at the time and knew they needed to move to Sioux Falls to be closer to the medical care their children would need as they grew up. There was nothing like Children's Care Hospital & School where they lived. Children's Care has been there for Lance, Lilley and Keaton helping them discover new skills. "They began making great progress when Children's Care started treating them. They began to thrive," said Kelley. Children's Care Hospital & School provides physical, occupational and speech therapy services for the children. Lilley also receives orthotic and seating and positioning services from Children's Care Rehabilitation Medical Supply.
Lance is a miracle child, a mystery to physicians. He wasn't expected to survive, walk or talk. He's doing all three very well. Because of a hemorrhage when he was born and a hole in his heart he has slight cerebral palsy tendencies. He receives physical therapy at Children's Care. He is getting stronger. He should grow up to be completely independent. He currently attends half-day kindergarten.
Keaton has some sight but is legally blind. He is learning Braille and attends half-day kindergarten. He should be able to live independently. He attends physical therapy with Lance because it makes it more fun and motivating for his brother.
Lilley has no sight, and uses a wheelchair. She has cerebral palsy. She is learning new skills like picking up small objects through occupational therapy sessions. She also works on getting stronger in the heated pool with physical therapy. Before coming to Children's Care Trevor and Kelley were told Lilley would never walk or even sit up. With the help of a walker and dedicated therapists at Children's Care, she is learning how to bear weight on her legs and will hopefully walk someday. Lilley is also learning Braille and attends half-day kindergarten with her brothers.
Help Children's Care Hospital & School continue to discover and encourage every child's abilities. Donate to Children's Care Hospital and School today and make a difference in the lives of children like Lance, Keaton, and Lilley.

Thespian and concerned citizen Matt Damon would like some answers about this Sarah Palin person we keep hearing about whose unlikely career arc might just catapult the bouffant-wearing hockey mom from the snowy wilds of Wasilla, Alaska, into an international staring match with tiger-slaying Russian judo master Vladimir Putin. For example, says Damon, "I need to know if she really thinks dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago ... because she's gonna have the nuclear codes."

Happy Hump Day, Wolves fans. Kevin Love is on the national airwaves, toeing an obnoxious line.
ESPN posted a summary article on their website here, but essentially, Love wouldn't admit that he has asked to be traded, but he also would not deny the rumor. It was lots of "I'm hoping everything works out for all parties involved" and "I just want to end up in a great place where I can win".
It's nothing that is really all that surprising, just that these were Love's first public comments since the end of the season. It also seems pretty pointless, and verging on the very Dwight Howard territory that Love allegedly was hoping to avoid.
There's also one point in the appearance when Love calls the Wolves "they", which is a bit curious. Again, nothing that LaMarcus Aldridge didn't say last summer regarding wanting out of Portland, and they're all hunky dory now in the Northwest due to a leap by Damian Lillard and a second-round playoff appearance.
Alas, it does seem like each and every day we're inching ever closer to a trade. According to Darren Wolfson, the Wolves are trying (so far unsuccessfully) to get Arizona forward Aaron Gordon into Minneapolis for a pre-draft workout, which could be a sign that they think they can get into the #6-8 range of the draft. This could potentially be a precursor to a trade with Boston, Sacramento, or others.
There has also been a bit more steam surrounding Cleveland today, but I'd be shocked if the Cavaliers actually went through with moving the first overall pick. It takes a lot of guts to do that. Also, Sam Amick mentioned that Houston thinks they've already been outclassed in the asset department in trade talks.
We'll be back with a piece on what might be involved in any potential trade with the Chicago Bulls. Other than having a load of assets (and Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose) and being in the Eastern Conference, they haven't been in the spotlight too much by the national media regarding an attempt at trading for Love.

The move comes a week after McEwan and player-coach Sylvain Cloutier announced their first four signings for the new Elite League season.
McEwan said: "I must first thank the Council for awarding us the ice-time contract and helping to keep ice hockey alive in Hull.
"We aim to have the arena buzzing this season and we are all looking forward to the challenge.

"I have been here for nearly 25 years now and I consider Hull my home.
"We are planning on being here for the long term. This is a dream come true. We put the smiles back on the faces of the fans last season and we are determined to build on that.
McEwan is now speaking to existing sponsors ahead of the new season but would also like to hear from any past sponsors who may be interested in getting involved again. If so, please contact Bobby at email@example.com.

The death of a beloved pet is never an easy experience. We at Pet Lawn are animal lovers and all have furry friends of our own. We have loved and lost true friends whose lives are so sweet and dear to us. The unconditional love they give us is precious and difficult to explain.
We empathize with the grief and possibly even anger that accompanies the profound loss of a pet. Everyone has different experiences, but the loss or void can be felt much deeper than the loss of a human companion. Pet Lawn Cemetery and Crematory is the only dedicated pet loss center in Milwaukee.
Private and Gentle Pickup Service

In-home Pet Euthanasia
At-Pet Lawn Pet Euthanasia
Grounds open 9:00AM-Sunset
We continue to strive to meet the needs of pet owners at this most difficult of times.
The property now known as Pet Lawn, has maintained a pet cemetery since 1943 when the first faithful furry family members were laid to rest at the request of the owners who had boarded their dogs here. Pet Lawn has had a rich history. Before Art first bought the puppy lodge, Mr. Gutneckt started the kennels, boarding dogs in the 1930's. If you tour the property, you can still find the old sign that was lit by neon lights back in the 1950's. Circa 1966, one of the buildings burned down and many of the records were lost, of which, Dick Bernier (previous owner) recovered using old receipts. More than 10,000 pets including dogs, cats, iguanas, snakes, turtles, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs and horses are buried at Pet Lawn. Veterinarians and private pet owners have been using Pet Lawn's services since 1967.
At Pet Lawn, we treat your pets like the valued family members they are. All pets are handled with complete dignity. While buildings and gardens are being remodeled and cleaned up, all pets buried in the cemetery will NOT be disturbed from their final resting place.
Pet Lawn, Inc.
Owner Dr. Kristen Rowe, DVM

Universal Acid as a Metaphor
UniversalAcid as a Metaphor
Accordingto the Oxford English Dictionary Universal Acid means: Universal: 1. a. Extending over, comprehending, or including thewhole of something specified or implied; prevalent over all. And Acid definedas: 1. a. In general use: sour, tart, sharp to the taste; tasting likevinegar. If we put the two wordstogether we get Dennett's definition: "Universal Acid is a liquid so corrosivethat it will eat through anything! The problem is: what do you keep it in? It dissolves glass bottles and stainless steel canisters asreadily as paper bags. What wouldhappen if you somehow came upon or created a dollop of universal acid? Would the planet be destroyed? Whatwould leave in its wake?" (Dennett63) I think the problem withmetaphors is that there can be too many definitions or interpretations to ourideas of the usage of the metaphor. The oxford English Dictionary defines metaphor as: 1.A figure of speech in which a name or descriptive word or phrase is transferredto an object or action different from, but analogous to, that to which it isliterally applicable; an instance of this, a metaphorical expression.
Ithink these multiple definitions give rise to all kinds ofmisinterpretations. For example ina recent New York Times article Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton useda metaphor to translated into Russian but misinterpreted the translation in agreeting to the Russian foreign minister "Sergey V. Lavrov, the Russian foreignminister, presented him with a plastic button emblazoned with the English word"Reset" and the Russian word "peregruzka". The gift was a play on Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.'scall in Munich last month for the two countries to "press the reset button" ontheir relationship. "We workedhard to get the right Russian word," Mrs. Clinton said to Mr. Lavrov. "Do you think we got it wrong?" Hereplied, explaining that the Americans had come up with the Russian word forovercharged. "We won't let you dothat to us," she said quickly, with a full-throated laugh…" This example is anexample of the kinds of things that can go wrong with the use ofmetaphors. How do we knowthat we have understood Universal Acid when in the 21st century ourown Secretary of State misinterpreted the use of a metaphor?
Dennettuses Universal Acid as eating through: "Darwin's idea-bearing an unmistakable likeness to universalacid: it eats through just about every traditional concept, and leaves in itswake a revolutionized world-view, with most of the old landmarks stillrecognizable, but transformed in fundamental ways." (Dennett 63) Just like in the earlier New York Timesarticle that I quoted, Universal Acid ate through Hillary Rodham Clinton'smetaphor so that metaphors are not immune to the universal acid.
"Itis not unusual to find such metaphors, redolent or capitalism, in evolutionaryexplanations. Examples are gleefullyrecounted by those should we say betraying – the social and politicalenvironment in which Darwin developed his ideas, thereby (somehow) discreditingtheir claim to social objectivity." (Dennett 68)) Hillary Rodham Clinton made a mistake, a faux pas thatanyone could have made but the point being is that anyone could have found thecorrect person with her status to find the correct metaphor to use for herpurpose and she did not. Noteveryone has her kind of access to information that the everyday kind of personhas with "google" internet support.
Inconclusion, universal acid not only burns through glass as Dennett's states, italso burns through language and metaphors.

on the dangers of metaphorization
I'm a little confused by your example—that Clinton used the Russian equivalent of "overcharge" when she intended to say "reset"; I don't see what metaphor you think is operating (or rather: misfunctioning!) in that mistranslation.
But your larger point—if I've gotten it right?—is that the act of metaphorizing itself puts a "universal acid" of misinterpretation into play, and so inevitably leads to misunderstanding, to mistranslation, not just between languages (as in this Russian-English example) but among people who assume that they are speaking the "same" language. Once you start representing one thing w/ something else (anything w/ the word that stands in for it?) then you are activating a chain of signification that can "break down" or "dissolve" (=acid-like!) @ any point.
That's a very important idea, in the history of representation. My big question for you, though, is what is the alternative? You write about the action of the universal acid that is metaphor making as if these sorts of misunderstandings constitute a terrible tragedy. I understand them rather as the very condition of language, of communication: that we never, EVER understand exactly what another is saying; our representations are always inexact. And since that's what keeps the conversation going, I think it's a good thing!

Looking at this photo takes me back to a fun day spent swimming in Kealakekua Bay with a few of my best girlfriends. We had left our cares behind and lost ourselves in moments of pure joy, swimming just yards away from dolphins and humpback whales! Hearing the whale songs underwater are a memory I will never forget.

LOVELAND – While proposed large apartment developments in Montgomery and Madeira have apparently hit a wall, plans to build upscale apartments in Loveland are still on the table.
Indian Hill businessman Richard Greiwe of Greiwe Development Group is proposing to build 80 apartments and 23,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and office space at Loveland Station and another 30 apartments on Third Street in Loveland.
That's a change from Greiwe's initial plan, which he's modified several times after hearing from Loveland officials and residents.
Greiwe initially proposed building some 100 apartments and 6,000 square feet of commercial space at Loveland Station, a three-acre site slated for redevelopment on the west side of Second Street between West Loveland Avenue and Broadway Street. Tenants have yet to be secured.
Loveland City Council at the end of April gave Greiwe exclusive rights to the Loveland Station property for six months so the developer could investigate the feasibility of his plans.
Shortly thereafter Loveland launched a study on whether it would make sense to rezone property in the city's downtown historic district – including Loveland Station and the Third Street property – as a special planning district with its own development rules concerning permitted uses, the height of and materials used for buildings, density, parking, landscaping and lighting.
Based in part on Greiwe's current plans for Loveland Station and Third Street, the Loveland Planning and Zoning Commission recently agreed to recommend Loveland City Council adopt the special planning district.
Loveland officials expect to schedule a Tuesday, Sept. 13, public hearing on the recommendation.
"Staff and Mr. Greiwe have been working very closely together over the last three months to simultaneously negotiate the business terms for the sale of the city and Community Improvement Corporation (Loveland's economic-development arm) properties in the downtown and the rezoning process, which will enable the development to move forward," Loveland City Manager Tom Carroll said.
"The hope is that the special planning district rezoning can be accomplished during Mr. Greiwe's six-month due-diligence period."
In contrast, city officials in Montgomery and Madeira say Hills Developers of Blue Ash apparently has abandoned plans to build large apartment developments in both of those cities.
In Loveland, city officials say they continue to negotiate with Greiwe, having already convinced him to make other changes in his plans that include more on-site parking spaces and green spaces and a commitment to study ways to ease traffic problems that could be caused if his developments are approved.
Loveland City Councilman Brent Zuch praised residents for taking their concerns to Greiwe and city officials.
"I commend staff for taking seriously those concerns and I commend the developer for also being flexible, for being willing to try and incorporate these concerns and try to make this something that is more acceptable to those residents," Zuch said.

This KEYCOOL 104 Mechanical Keyboard is specified designed for those who like the feel,
and those whose personal taste can make a mechanical keyboard for use.
The switch of KEYCOOL 104 Mechanical Keyboard is manufactured by Cherry MX Black Switch,
which is not just a switch,it is the heart of what make the mechanical keyboard have its feel.
Generally, mechanical keyboard is different from the rubber domes because of the less actuation force,
and shorter key travel distance,you don' t need to bottom out the key and it will force CPU to register the Keystroke.
More worth to say is that this KEYCOOL 104 Mechanical Keyboard is a full n-key rollver keyboard when in PS/2 state,
that is to say, in this state,you can press as many as you can as you want at the same time and they will all go through,
you will not experience blocking more.And in USB state,21 keys no rollover.
Cherry MX-Black switches are linear (non-tactile) switches, these are considered one of the best switch types for gaming.
When gaming, having a tactile bump does absolutely nothing because you're going to be bottoming out anyway.
So these give you a very smooth feel. The actuation and release points are at the exact same position as well.
So games that require a lot of double tapping become easier than on any other key switch.
If you're a person who tends to hit a wrong key every so often while gaming,
these will be beneficial in that the high actuation force will help prevent many of those accidental presses.
Multimedia Function:
1. Press"Fn + F5",you can open previous music;
2. Press"Fn+ F6",you can open next music;
3. Press"Fn + F7",you can start the music or pause the music;
4. Press"Fn + F8",stop the music;
5. Press"Fn + F9",you can shut off the sound;
6.Press"Fn + F10",you can slow the voice;
7.Press"Fn+ F11",you can louder the voice;

Word on the web is that Mitsubishi is bracing for the electrification of the automobile in a big way. According to Motor Trend, the Japanese automaker is in the midst of developing all of its future products so that they easily support an EV drivetrain or an internal combustion get up. That line of thinking seems to mesh well with the rumors of the upcoming hybrid crossover from Mitsubishi. The lumbering beast will supposedly take plenty of cues from the PX-MiEV that showed up at the 2009 Tokyo Auto Show, with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine working in conjunction with a pair of electric motors.
Additionally, Motor Trend seems to think that the current Montero is a likely platform to adopt a battery pack. The SUV may have died off from the American market, but it's still alive and kicking in Asia and Europe, and a little help from an electric motor would go a long way toward inching the vehicle's fuel economy down to more manageable levels.
And what of our beloved Lancer Evolution? From the sounds of things, even it might show up with electron-power in the near future, with the gasoline engine kicking at the rear tires and the front axles spun by a motor or two.

Darren Rovell of ESPN tweeted out last night that as of January 1st, Mack Brown's contract buyout was reduced from $3.5 million dollars to $2.75 million dollars. Here is Darren Rovell's tweet:
Four days ago, Mack Brown's buyout dropped from $3.5M to $2.75M twitpic.com/b3v32a
— darren rovell (@darrenrovell) January 5, 2013
Now we know why Deloss Dodds and the rest of the people in Bellmont were not willing to fire Mack Brown. Now why would the athletic department want to wait until the buyout was lower when Texas supposedly has all this money? Well for one thing, you never get rich by spending money on unnecessary things and the other thing is it looks back to fire a coach who wins 9 games in a season. Coaches know it takes time to implement their system on a program and if fans are ruthless and want to fire a coach for not winning a championship every season, a great coach is unlikely to go there because of the pressure and uncertainty.
Now with the price being lowered, Dodds can make a change and save some money while doing it.

Here's a fascinating account published by The New Yorker of a weekend in the company of Robert Fripp - albeit back in the mid-80s.

It Was 44 Years Ago Today...
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Thu., Oct 10, 2013
"Wessex Studios mid-August 1969. The apocalyptic blast of 21st Century Schizoid Man is abruptly cut off in mid-flow as recording engineer, Robin Thompson, mutes the speakers. Gathered in the cavernous performance area of Wessex Studios below, Robert Fripp, Michael Giles, Ian McDonald, Peter Sinfield and Greg Lake stopped work to welcome the arrival of artist Barry Godber, carrying a large rectangular package wrapped in brown paper. A few weeks previously Sinfield had commissioned his friend to come up with something for the cover for what would be King Crimsons debut album. I used to hang around with all these painters and artists from Chelsea Art School says Sinfield recalling the event 40 years later. Id known Barry for a couple of years...hed been to a few rehearsals, and spent a bit of time with us. I told him to see what he could come up with. I think I probably said to him that the one thing the cover had to do was stand out in record shops. Godber tore off the brown paper and laid the painting on the floor as the band gathered around to see his handiwork. Greg Lake recalls We all stood around it and it was like something out of Treasure Island where youre all standing around a box of jewels and treasure...this fucking face screamed up from the floor and what it said to us was Schizoid Man - the very track wed been working on. It was as if there was something magic going on.

The Road To Red Reviewed
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Thu., Oct 10, 2013
Some reviews of The Road To Red box set are starting to come in. Record Collector awards the set 4 stars and says "The critical consensus is that the 1972-74 King Crimson, with Robert Fripp, Bill Bruford and John Wetton as the consistent core, was the only incarnation capable of burning the 1969 line-up - and the evidence is all over TTie Road To Red. That's 21 CDs, one DVD and two Blu-ray discs of incontrovertible proof, if anyone's counting."Elsewhere, Classic Rock magazine awards the 2disc version of Red 9 out of ten stars, and 8out of 10 for USA. Of Red the reviewer notes "Already both abrasive and attractive, it rings clearer, allowing you to embrace its contradictions." You can take a look at the arrival of my copy of The Road To Red over on the blog.
Book Of Lyrics

New Harry Miller Album
:: Posted by admin on Sun., Oct 6, 2013
Harry Miller, who played double on King Crimsons Islands has a new archive release available on Ogun Recording, the pioneering jazz label he founded in 1974. Born in South Africa, Miller became one of the key players in the British and European jazz scene. His work with Keith Tippett led to his invitation to play on Islands in 1971. The 40th Anniversary Edition of Islands featured several outtakes of Formentera Lady which prominently features the bassists contributions to the sessions. Miller died in 1983 but his legacy on numerous recordings is rightly revered and respected.

Landscaping Ideas for Ponds
Complement your pond with beautiful plants, rocks, and lights
By Cathy McClellan
Backyard ponds are beautiful focal points themselves, but when you add landscaping around the pond, it creates a dramatic and stunning effect. Surround your pond with outdoor products that fit the environment and highlight its aesthetic. A landscaped pond is the perfect backdrop for any patio garden.
Determine Your Needs -- and Your Restrictions
Be sure to integrate your pond into the existing landscape. If your pond is in partial shade, purchase plants that do not require full sun or you will end up with plants that are not as pretty as they could be or that will die. The opposite holds true for ponds that are in full sun. Do not choose plants that need partial shade. Plant choices around ponds include cattails, palms, reeds, ferns or crocus. Ideally, a multitude of plants set around the pump and housing of a man-made pond will hide its workings and make the pond look more natural.
No matter what plants you choose, plant them thickly on one end of the pond so that the plants will create the illusion of a forest in the distance. Only plant one or two water lilies in the pond as the lilies multiply quickly and you will end up with too many. Water hyacinths are good choices for landscaping a pond. The pots are set directly into the water or along the edge of the pond with the pot barely sitting in water at the water's edge. As long as the hyacinths do not get too hot or dry out they will bloom for a long time.
Rocks and Lighting
Use different sized rocks around the pond and randomly near the pond. By using rocks and plants, you will make your backyard pond look like the pond has been sitting there for many years. Install a pebble pathway from the pond to the porch so that visitors have a path to walk on. Install solar lights along the pathway and around the perimeter of the pond. When the sun sets, ambient lighting will light the pond and the water will look phosphorescent. Install a small area with pebbles along one side of the pond and place a bench in the middle of the area. This will give a place to sit and relax while enjoying the pond and to create a contemplative area at the pond.
Pond Bridges
If you are looking to add more pond furniture than just a bench, consider adding a bridge where you can stop and enjoy a bird's eye view of your magnificent landscape. Make sure that you have room on both sides of your pond for a bridge to rest. If you have determined that you have enough space, you can shop for bridges in a multitude of designs and styles. Bridges are typically made of metal or wood, and should include sturdy railings.

The Ongoing Political Battle For Tax Reform
Many Americans will be scrambling today to get their 2013 tax return to the IRS. A few can anticipate a refund, but for many wealthier Americans, the dollar amount of taxes due has been a rising number. The top 1 percent of earners pay 29.3 percent of federal tax dollars, a percentage decried, depending on your perspective, as either far too high or not nearly high enough. Most do agree, however, that the US tax code unfairly subsidizes some at the expense of others, is far too complex and is sorely in need of reform. But given today's political climate, hopes for meaningful change are not high. Please join us to discuss the US tax code and prospects for reform.
