Also called the White City or the City that Never Sleeps, Tel Aviv makes an interesting discovery: sandy beaches bordered by a beautiful promenade, a lively night life, great restaurants, a charming old port with authentic flavors.
You cannot get bored in Tel Aviv, but if you want to get to know the different sides of Israel, you have to get out of the city. As religious tourism plays an important part in Israel, there are several day trips to Jerusalem. However, you will have many other options such as Bethlehem, Nazareth, Dead Sea, Haifa, Acre, Tiberia and Tsfat.
A day trip to Jerusalem means a short immersion into the center of spirituality. A sacred place for Christians, Jews and Muslims, the Old Town of Jerusalem with its Wailing Wall (the only remaining of the Second Temple) is a must for any visitor of the Israeli capital city. Its landmarks are spread throughout the cobbled alleys of its four quarters (Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Armenian). On your way from one to the other, you can make a few stops to admire the diversity of products and to buy some souvenirs in the Arab Market.
If you want to see for yourself what life looked like in Biblical times, take a tour that includes the archaeological excavations of the City of David. For Christian believers, there is a tour focusing on the origins of the Christ. It includes sacred landmarks like the place of the Ascension on Mount Olive, Gethsemane Garden, the Way of the Cross, and the Church of the Holly Sepulcher.
Besides the numerous historical landmarks, Jerusalem has its share of attractions dating from more recent times. Yad Vashem (the Holocaust Museum) and Israel Museum are a must for all those who want to understand Jewish history better. The colorful Mache Yehuda market is a way of exploring the Israeli authentic flavors. The Shrine of the Book – home to some ancient scripts discovered recently in a cave in the Dead Sea area – impresses by its architecture.
Recently included on UNESCO World Heritage List, Bethlehem is a compulsory visit for religious travelers. Its main attraction is the Church of the Nativity dating from the 4th century AD, erected on the place Jesus was born under Emperor Constantine's order. Other landmarks in Bethlehem are Manger Square, the Milk Grotto (where it is said that Mary nursed Jesus), the Tomb of Rachel (third holiest place for Jews) and the Church of Saint Catherine.
Located a few km South of the Israeli capital, King David's childhood town, Bethlehem can be combined with Jerusalem on a day trip from Tel Aviv. Pick this option only if you are short on time. Although half a day is sufficient to explore Bethlehem's highlights, Jerusalem deserves at least a whole day.
Considered one of the modern world's wonders, the Dead Sea is popular tourist destination for several reasons. Christian pilgrims visit the lowest spot on Earth as it is also the place where Jesus was baptized. The Dead Sea is also known for its therapeutic effects, due to the high concentration in minerals of its water and mud. However, if this is what you are looking for, it is advisable you visit the area for a few days at least.
A day trip to the Dead Sea from Tel Aviv combines relaxation and wellness hours with sightseeing opportunities and great scenic views over the Judean Desert, the ancient town of Jericho and the salt lake itself. Your panoramic experience will be completed by a cable car ride to Masada's top, where you can explore the ruins of King Herod's fortress dating from the yea 37 BC. After bathing yourself in the salted waters and after having covered your body in the therapeutic mud, don't forget to take at least a drop of the Dead Sea with you. In the shore's proximity, you will find plenty of spots from where to take great pics and shops where to buy some original Dead Sea cosmetics.
If you want to sample the whole Northern coast of Israel in one day, this day tour will certainly do that for you. Named after the famous Roman ruler, Caesarea is home to one of the best preserved Roman amphitheatres and aqueducts in the world. Acre also has a well preserved old town enclosed by fortified walls. Here you can sightsee landmarks dating from the Crusaders' times, Napoleon's fortress and a Turkish bath. The view of the harbor is simply beautiful. More scenic views you will get from Rosh Hanikra, located close to the border with Lebanon. Here you can admire some limestone grottoes, naturally created by sea waves. Some of the tours also include a stop in Haifa – home to the Baha'i gardens. While touring them, stop to admire the view over the harbor.
The North of Israel is also home to some Biblical landmarks, which include Nazareth (a place mentioned many times in the Bible and where Jesus spent his childhood) and the Sea of Galilee (where Jesus made a few miracles happen, including walking on water). With such a wide range of options available, you can basically plan your itinerary and then make your pick.
If you are interested in Jewish landmarks, you might consider including Tsfat and Tiberias (two of the oldest Jewish towns). North of Tiberia, you can visit the tombs of some important rabbis (Rabbi Meir Baal Hanes, Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai and his son Rabbi Elazar), as well as that of Rambam (the father of Jewish medical science).
Petra is a magical place that justifies the trouble of getting on a plane, flying to Eilat (the most Southern town in Israel) and continuing with a road trip. You will certainly appreciate the beauty of the natural scenery featured by red rocks in which impressive monuments dating from the 6th century BC are carved. Petra's Old town is full of wonders, historic and religious landmarks including the royal tombs, the monastery and the Khazneh (an impressive red building, home to the Treasury).
This day trip to the Golan Heights from Tel Aviv is a great way of exploring a less famous part of Israel, and of enjoying great views over Jordan River and Jordan Valley. Getting up the mountain, you can also catch some panoramic views over the Syrian territory. If you are traveling during winter, you might even see some snow. Mount Hermon is home to the single ski resort in Israel – Neve Ativ. This day trip includes a visit to the Talmudic City of Katzrin, home to an interesting archaeological museum.
Once you explored the numerous historic and religious attractions Israel holds, it's time for an off the road experience. Get on jeep and take a ride to the Judean Desert. The bumps you feel on the way are part of the fun, but you will certainly appreciate the safari experience. The tour includes a visit to some Bedouin sites. Prepare to be surrounded by sand dunes up to the horizon.

Touring the most famous Christmas fairs in Europe was a friend of mine's wish. So, last year I decided to join her and to take this road trip starting in the south of Romania, going up to Munich and further on. Travelling by car can be really tiresome, but, in the end, we were really glad […]

bob88kim Posts: 1Our gorgeous '05 Canyon with THIRTY-FOUR THOUSAND miles requires replace of cylinder head. GMC issued extended warranty to 7 years/100,000 miles--WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL and not an extended warranty. We've been through the GMC Customer Service saga from hell for almost two months (and without our truck), passed off from one "District Specialist" to the next, only to end up with them covering a mere 50% of THEIR $1,800 MANUFACTURING DEFECT.
IT GETS WORSE: The replacement cylinder head that the dealership received from GM WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE!!! We paid $41K for this truck, bought it because our last GMC had 180,000 miles on it with no major problems, have supported GMC religiously for 20 years, only to find out that they're willing to lose a loyal customer at the cost of $900. Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE customer service, especially from GMC, and they've made it perfectly clear that SELLING is their number one priority and not customer service. What happened to their customer service "taskforce"? We will not be part of the "GMC Family" again until someone at GMC takes responsibility for reimbursing us for this nightmare and we will continue to warn others about it in every forum possible. Do the RIGHT THING, GMC, and back up your product so that we can be pro-GMC again. -

06colorado Posts: 2Have a 2006 chevy Colorado z71- some days won't start - wait 10-15 minutes- finally start up- read several complaints on this about the colorados. I would think this would be a security issue and a insurance issue if they knew . Being there is so many issues with this, is there a recall as there should be or do we indure the cost of repair?
gloria82 Posts: 1Hello Everyone, I'm new to this forum. I have had nothing but problems with my 2006 Chevy Colorado as well, from waiting the 10-20 minutes to start up, it also has a kill switch which I HATE! I'm currently having electric problems, and problems go on, does anyone know if these trucks are in recall or is there a GM customer service on this thread that can help me with more accurate info, it's getting really frustrating, I keep taking it to the mechanic and it just keeps getting worst, HELP PLEASE!!!!! my email address is firstname.lastname@example.com
russ95 Posts: 16Gloria,
All of my '04 Canyon various electrical problems were resolved when I replaced the very expensive and very inadequate original battery with a much larger Group 65-850 battery from Costco. It is way too big to fit in the factory enclosed case but fits perfectly on the base and in the original position. Since I installed it on 5-30-09 I have only replaced 2 light bulbs! Zero electric problems. The truck has been used hard for over 150,000 miles including lots of towing trailers up to 4,500# up very steep mountains so they can be decent trucks. No serious mechanical repairs ever. See my previous post #695.

colorado25 Posts: 1Hello,

So, if I had known then what I know now..... I guess I should kiss the ground and thank the Lord. I have an 05 Ext. cab Colorado z71 4wd. Everyone who sees it thinks it's brand new they don't believe it's an 05. A point I am proud of. 6 years ago (approx.) I picked up a tap in the engine. I continued to drive it until 8 March 2014. My "poor baby" suffered a myocardial infarction and it was unable to be resuscitated. sniff The number 3 cylinder is out. So I now have a beautiful well kept truck with no engine. Well the engine's still in it but you get the idea. I have 199,000 miles on this truck. I replaced the starter a few years ago, replaced the front brake pads (they didn't need it and rotors were fine) at 101,000, replaced the rear brake pads last year (they didn't need it) and replaced the right front hub assembly the end of January 2014. It was a good truck for me. I had considered putting a used engine in it but after reading all these horror stories I don't want to spend the money on an engine that seems to be extremely unreliable. What do y'all think?

Smoke DZA - DZA Season
DZA Season Smoke DZA
Smoke DZA "borrows" a Kid Cudi beat for "DZA Season".
Smoke DZA is getting ready to drop his Dream.ZONE.Achieve album, and with the release happening in just under a week, he's decided to give us a warm up in the form of a freestyle.
"DZA Season" which the rapper cites is "borrowed from Kid CuDi" finds the rapper taking on one of the more ambient tracks from Cudder's latest project, Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon.
While his rap style is certainly a little more traditional than Cudi's these days, the pairing works very well.
Look out for Dream.ZONE.Achieve April 1st, and check out the HNHH-produced video for "Legends In The Making" with Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y.
Quotable lyrics:
Never stop wylin' out
Like I'm still in my teens
Made a pillow
So when I'm sleep
It could remember my dreams

Smart Marriage Advice from 8 Rock-Solid Couples
5 Simple Tricks for a Better Relationship
Keep It Simple Choose an all-in-one venue. Some sites, such as historic homes, hotels, and country clubs, have the space to let you hold your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one location. This makes transportation a snap -- and no lost guests! Honor Your Relatives Give close family members and friends that you couldn't include in the wedding party a job for the ceremony. Have them be a reader, help you with the programs, or give a blessing after you've said your vows. Incorporate Nature Instead of bringing in extra lighting and floral arrangements, take advantage of your surroundings by using outdoor elements. Think seashells for a beach ceremony or fall leaves for an autumn wedding. Consider Your Transitions Come up with a plan for handling the in-between times. If your ceremony and reception are taking place at one venue, transition guests with an exit strategy. One idea: Before the ceremony, ask attendants or ushers to hand each guest a candle on the way into the ceremony; then have them give guests a handful of rose petals to toss after the ceremony. Beat the Heat If you're planning an outdoor wedding in a warm climate, make sure that your guests are taken care of. Get double-duty wedding programs shaped like fans; hand each guest a glass of sparkling water at the entrance to the ceremony space; and provide parasols to help block the sun.

Muslim couples do not generally recite vows but rather listen to the words of the imam, or cleric (although any adult male Muslim may officiate), who speaks about the significance of the commitment of the marriage and the couple's responsibilities toward each other and Allah. The bride and groom are asked three times if they accept each other in marriage according to the terms of their traditional marriage contract, or Nikah. Then they sign, the marriage is sealed, and the gathered congregation may bless them.
However, some Muslim brides and grooms do choose to also exchange vows. Here is a common (quite traditional) recitation:
Bride: "I, ______, offer you myself in marriage and in accordance with the instructions of the Holy Koran and the Holy Prophet, peace and blessing be upon him. I pledge, in honesty and with sincerity, to be for you an obedient and faithful wife."
Groom: "I pledge, in honesty and sincerity, to be for you a faithful and helpful husband."
Want to write your own wedding vows? Make sure your officiant will accept personalized vows, and get started by asking yourselves these 20 questions.

Mike Butz has served as the USGA's senior managing director for Open Championships & Association Relations since April 2011. His primary duties are the oversight and advance planning of the U.S. Open, Women's Open, Senior Open and U.S. Amateur Championships, Walker Cup Match, and oversight of the Merchandise/Licensing Department as well as Handicapping, Course Rating, GHIN, Regional Affairs and Executive Administration.
Butz previously served as interim executive director upon David Fay's retirement in December 2010, deputy executive director since August 1995 and senior director, Open Championships and Executive Administration since January 1994.
He joined the USGA in 1980 as manager of Regional Affairs for the Southeastern Region and later that year moved to the USGA's headquarters in Far Hills, N.J., as the manager of Championship Relations overseeing the organization of the U.S. Open, Senior Open, Women's Open, Women's Amateur, U.S. Amateur, Walker Cup and Curtis Cup Matches. He was promoted to director of Championship Relations in 1991 and then to assistant to the executive director and director of Championship Relations in 1992. He also served as general chairman of the 1995 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.
He began playing golf at age 4 and was a caddie for many years in his childhood. His father was a self-taught, eight-time club champion who introduced him to the "family spirit" of the game. Junior golf, family golf and caddie programs are particular areas of interest to him because "these were a large part of my growing up in the game and I want to see other kids have the same experience."
Butz is a 1978 graduate of the Wake Forest University School of Business. He and his wife, Leslie, reside in Bethlehem, Pa. They have two children, Spencer and Molly.
The USGA and Chevron have committed to using the game of golf to encourage students in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines. This commitment has led to the creation of extensive golf-focused STEM teaching tools, and has resulted in charitable contributions to support golf-related programs through Eagles for Education
At U.S. Open Championships the Chevron STEM ZONE™ is an interactive experience highlighting the science and math behind the game of golf through a variety of hands-on exhibits and experiments.
The partnership has also produced educational materials such as the Science of Golf video series and a nationally-distributed newspaper insert which are provided to teachers as tools to enhance existing curriculum in schools. These lessons teach the science behind the USGA's equipment testing, handicapping, and agronomy efforts.
For more interactive experiences featuring golf-focused STEM lessons, visit the partnership homepage.

The Palos Verdes Concours D'Elegance, a 501 (C) (3) non-profit corporation, was formed in 1991 as a charity event benefiting the educational and community outreach programs of the Palos Verdes Art Center, and the Palos Verdes Peninsula Rotary Foundation.
For eight decades, the Palos Verdes Art Center has served southwestern Los Angeles County since 1931 with a full range of visual arts programming and community art classes . Today, the Art Center provides over 300 art classes and workshops, free art exhibitions, a highly acclaimed school-based education program, cultural activities, and community events. As one of the oldest arts organizations in California, the Palos Verdes Art Center operates privately, supported by concerned citizens who see it as essential to the quality of life on the Peninsula and the South Bay. www.pvartcenter.org
Supporting the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Harbor Area
The Palos Verdes Peninsula Rotary Foundation provides financial support to charitable groups and individuals located in the Palos Verdes Peninsula Community and the greater South Bay area of Los Angeles County. The Foundation builds a strong community through boldness, innovation and new models of action based on results, not needs; on investment opportunities, not institutional financial urgency. Most recently the Foundation focused support on the Boys & Girls Clubs of Wilmington and San Pedro, assisting in efforts to provide guidance and literacy to disadvantaged youth. The Foundation was instrumental in renovating the kitchen at the Wilmington facility, and in placing a book-lending library in the San Pedro facility to aid both child and adult literacy. www.rotarypvp.org

Blagdon Village is an ideally situated hub. The centre of the county town of Taunton is down the road. The renowned Vivary Park is next door. The nearest beach is just 17 miles away. Exmoor National Park is even nearer. And from certain spots in the retirement village you can spy the Quantock Hills in the distance.
For those reasons, and so many more, Blagdon Village is ideal for those looking for an independent lifestyle, but with the added extras a retirement village has to offer, including well designed retirement homes.
One of our purpose built communities, the first residents moved in, in 2008 and life at Blagdon Village has flourished since.
There are 85 cottages, bungalows and apartments for the over 60s, clustered around Blagdon Lodge where the communal facilities can be found. With more than 20 interest and social groups, a full diary of calendar dates and regular impromptu get togethers, the Lodge is a hive of activity.
Guests are welcome to dine with residents in the restaurant. The bar, garden room and lounge also have the flexibility to be used as meeting rooms and events areas, either individually or in combination. There is a hair salon, a fitness room with exercise equipment chosen by residents and, for those who enjoy a more sedate form of exercise, a snooker room and, outside, a putting green.
Blagdon Village in Somerset benefits from sitting in a sought-after residential area offering a range of facilities while enjoying the peace, safety and security that comes from there being no through-roads.

Biennale artists force Transfield out
PUBLISHED: 07 Mar 2014 20:27:00 | UPDATED: 08 Mar 2014 02:53:55PUBLISHED: 07 Mar 2014 PRINT EDITION: 08 Mar 2014Matthew Drummond

A campaign by artists against Transfield Holdings over its links to the Manus Island and Nauru detention centres has caused the board of the upcoming Biennale of Sydney arts festival to sever its partnership with the company.
The Biennale, Australia's biggest contemporary arts event, began in 1973 and was the idea of Franco Belgiorno-Nettis, an engineer who emigrated from Italy in the 1950s. He created engineering firm Transfield Services and his family have consistently been principal sponsors of the world-famous event.
A group of artists, including many whose works will feature in the Biennale, have been pushing for the Biennale's board to end its relationship with Transfield Holdings and the Belgiorno-Nettis family on account of Transfield Services winning a $1.2 billion contract to operate the detention centre of Manus Island. Transfield Holdings owns 9 per cent of Transfield Services.
Late on Friday the Biennale board announced that Luca Belgiorno-Nettis, Franco's son, had resigned as chairman.
"With deep regret, the board reluctantly accepted the decision of the chair to resign," the statement said. "We gratefully acknowledge the personal contribution of Luca as chair over the past 14 years. We also acknowledge the enormous contribution of the Belgiorno-Nettis family over 41 years."
"We have listened to the artists who are the heart of the Biennale and have decided to end our partnership with Transfield effective immediately," the Biennale board said.
Board members had previously told the artists that without Transfield's funding the event would not be possible.
Nine Australian and international artists had pulled out from the Biennale in protest at the event's sponsorship deal with Transfield.
One of those artists, Gabrielle De Vietri said she did not yet know whether she would return her artwork to the main venue of Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour.
"We acknowledge the long and generous history of philanthropy that the Belgiorno-Nettis family have engaged in and we do understand that their sponsorship of the arts came from somewhere genuine," she said. "But I guess in this circumstance Transfield's dealing with the Australian government's mandatory detention policy is too much for us to overlook."

Conservation Program on Agricultural Lands: Farm Plans
The Critical Areas Ordinance of Whatcom County (WCC 16.16) requires the protection of critical areas and their regulated buffers from harmful impacts. On-going agricultural activities may be permitted within critical areas and/or their buffers with the submittal and approval of a Farm Conservation Plan. Otherwise, all ongoing agricultural activities must comply with the standard regulations.
Agricultural operations, such as hobby farms, have an important role to play in community resource protection. Because farming operations have important cultural, economic, and historical value in Whatcom County, the County is striving to strike a balance between farming operations and natural resource conservation. Whatcom County has initiated an outreach program directed toward low-impact, ongoing agriculture operations. The County has teamed up with Whatcom Conservation District to provide technical assistance on low-impact farm plans.
Approval Process for Standardized Farm Conservation Plan
Low impact farm plans, or Standardized Farm Plans, can be developed by the the farm operator, consultant, or the Conservation District.
Moderate Impact farm plans are customized and must be completed by the Conservation District or a consultant.
1. Determine eligibility – Are you a low-impact farm operator? Are there ongoing agricultural activities on your farm? Do your operation impact Critical Area Buffers?
2. Conduct a critical areas assessment
3. Create a Farm Plan – fill out the Standard Farm Checklist and create a map, or contact the County CPAL coordinator (360.676.6907), a consultant, or the Conservation District to ask about technical assistance.
4. Plan Approval - Submission of the Handbook worksheets, site map, and submittal form constitutes a complete Farm Plan application. The County's Technical Administrator will review these materials. If he/she finds the materials are adequate, then the plan will be approved and a copy of the Farm Map and Handbook will be returned to you. The County will collect and hold only summary information contained in the submittal form.
5. Implementation – Apply best management practices in accordance with the approved farm plan.
6. Monitoring – Implementation of best management practices according to those described in the approved farm plan will be reviewed once per year.

Ontario court confirms that employee with "anger management issues" not disabled under Code
In Gulick v. Ottawa Police Service, 2012 ONSC 5536, the Ontario Superior court confirmed that an employee with "anger management issues" was not disabled for the purposes of the Ontario Human Rights Code and thus not entitled to accommodation.
Specifically, the court stated the following in this case, which involved the dismissal of a police officer:
[15] While the incident giving rise to the disciplinary hearing did involve
some consumption of alcohol and medications, the Hearing Officer found as a
fact that the incident was triggered by anger management issues with which the
applicant had been struggling for several years. The Hearing Officer found
that alcohol was, at most, an exacerbating factor. We are not aware of any
jurisprudence which has established that anger management issues will support a
finding of disability.

We are Mark Vieregge and Annemarie Homan. Mark (1972) and Annemarie (1972) met in the middle of the country where they both sang at a student choir in Utrecht. Mark studied social economy at the university of the same city and Annemarie studied mass media psychology. After completion of the studies the travel bug hit and for six months they went backpacking through South-East Asia. During the following years more countries were added. The main drive for all these trips was to explore and experience other cultures.
After a good couple of years of working for several employees, the dream of doing 'something else, somewhere else' grew stronger and stronger. But what, and where and how? It would be so nice to live in another country for longer than just a holiday and really experience another culture. Every time the topic came to mind the conclusion would be: a guesthouse, a restaurant, a B&B …
In July 2007 we discovered, with the help of a Dutch broker, this house on the hill (about 450m.) in Italy, near the town of Poggio San Marcello (AN), and in December 2007 it was ours! In the course of 2008 it was rebuilt into a groundfloor appartment for us and three guest rooms, each with a private bathroom for the bed & breakfast on the upper floor.
The ground floor originally consisted of a garage, a stalla (room with built-in rabbit hutches), a workshop and a cantina (wine cellar) where the owner made his own wine. The garage is now a large kitchen, the stalla has become a nice living room, the workshop was turned into a huge bathroom and the former cantina is where we now sleep.
The high location of the house gives us a spectacular view from east to west, looking over large part of Le Marche, to the north to the Adriatic sea and due south to the beautiful Apennine mountainrange, as far as the Abruzzo region. It stands right at the heart of the region where the wonderful white wine Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi is produced.
March 6, 2009 was the great day of departure. Along with our two cats we went to Poggio San Marcello. In late April of 2009, our household was extended with our beautiful Bernese Mountaindog called Lola.

GREENSBORO (AP) -- In the first eight days of December, seven homicides were reported in Greensboro. That's more murders than the city has detectives.
Police said six men were shot and another man was stabbed. All but two are linked to drug or gang activity.
Thirty-two homicides have been reported this year in Greensboro, slightly above the five-year average. But the recent killings are prompting city leaders to meet with police officials to find ways to cut down on violent crime.
Captain Gary Hastings, commander of the police department's criminal investigation division, said the recent homicides reflect a culture that promotes violence, and aren't a direct reflection on police.
He said police can respond to a pattern of crime but can't prevent one armed person from getting angry at another.

Jane Hirshfield
"I want silence the way a sponge wants water," Hirshfield says. It's in quiet that Hirshfield has written such poetry collections as "Alaya," "The October Palace," "The Lives of the Heart," "Given Sugar, Given Salt" (a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award) and, most recently, "After: Poems" (HarperCollins, 112 pages, $23.95). Hirshfield, who was born in 1953 in New York City, was raised on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. She was among the first class of women to graduate from Princeton University. Her poetry is lauded for "allowing thoughts to be anchored within the tangible things of the world" and, in the words of Gonzaga University English professor Tod Marshall, for achieving "what I might call a certain tranquility – a clear and open responsiveness to the world – while also offering an honest recounting of the tumultuous emotions with which we all struggle." Hirshfield, who lives in Mill Valley, Calif., participated in a phone interview in advance of her Oct. 11 reading at Gonzaga. In it, she gave a virtual seminar on how she writes, what she writes about and when she knows that a poem is done. Dan Webster: I hope I'm not disrupting your writing time. Jane Hirshfield: No, actually since I knew you were calling I geared things up. Plus I'm afraid what I'm working on today may never see the light of day. It's a little thing called "Bad Mood Blues." (laughs) There's nothing that can cheer you up better than writing a silly little ditty about being in a bad mood. DW: No kidding. I find it interesting is that here you were, born in New York, and you attended P.S. 20, right? JH: Actually, P.S. 40. DW: What borough is that? JH: It's in Mahnattan, on the Lower East Side. I grew up on E. 20th Street. DW: So you grew up there in the city, until you went to Princeton? JH: Yes. DW: So what I find interesting is the huge contradiction between somebody growing up in the busiest, and greatest I might add, city in the world. Then you spent those years at the Zen Center. JH: Right. DW: You couldn't get much different than that. JH: That's so true. One of the great ironies of my life is that someone who grew up in New York has spent a fair number of years of my life with no electricity – and loved every second of it. DW: As opposed to those people who live that way in New York without choice, when there's a brown-out or something. JH: Oh, you just touched on a real theme for me. All my life I have written poems – you can find one in just about every book – that looks at this question of how much do people get to choose what happens. And part of that is absolutely my awareness of the fact that I have had some choice in my life and so many people have none. Sorry, didn't mean to get so serious on you (laughs). DW: No, that's all right, because you're touching on one of the things that I wanted to touch on, which was how that contradiction, or apparent contradiction, of growing up in a big city and then spending those years in the Zen Center, then living in Marin County in I assume a kind of pastoral setting there … JH: Yes. DW: … of how that contradiction has shaped your work over the years. JH: Well, I think that from childhood my earliest memory is of what my parents figured must have been the first time I was ever taken to the country. So I remember lying on my back in a grassy field with a blackberry hedge behind my head, blue sky above me and the taste of blackberries in my mouth. That's my youngest memory. And I just have a feeling that something in me went, 'This is how it was supposed to be,' and I couldn't wait to get back to it. I'm terribly grateful for what growing up in new York can give a person, you know, such depth of culture and exposure to so many things from, you know, the Japanese Pavilion at the New York World's Fair when I was 10 years old. I was the only one in my family brave enough to have sukiyaki with a raw egg broken into it. These are broadening experiences, and I think the gift of growing up in an unprovincial culture is that it does make you constitutionally open toward many things. If you're lucky, if it's the right culture at the right place, you end up being a person who wants to know about the new rather than one who has been trained to push it away and to be afraid of it. I am simply constitutionally a person who … I want silence the way a sponge wants water. And even though I grew up in New York, when I go back and visit my mother who is still in the apartment that we all moved into when I was 9 years old that still has the same phone number that all my little school friends used to call me at, it's incredibly hard on my system just to be with that level of noise. So it's not so much a contradiction, more a matter of discovering what my nature was and being lucky enough to be able to follow that through. DW: That's interesting. I can see that, absolutely. I've been trying to find as much bio information about you as I can … JH: Doesn't the Web make all of that easier. DW: It does. Except that the only stuff about you that I've been able to find is all the same stuff. You were born in '53, you grew up in New York, you went to Princeton among the first women … were you among the first women accepted or the first women who graduated? JH: It's actually very carefully worded because the back story is too dull to spell out. I entered with the second class, but I went through in three years. So I graduated with the first class, but I missed that first year when they were all under a fishbowl of examination. … But I did graduate with that group of women just because I galloped through. DW: What drew you to Princeton? JH: When I stopped going to public school, I was put into an all-girls school, and so one thing that drew me to Princeton is that I thought I ought to learn how to talk to people of the opposite sex (laughs). But it was a beautiful school. It's a semirural campus, covered with magnolia trees, especially back then. … It was basically a top-notch education. I mean, my ultimate choice was between two extremes. One was this men's school just taking women and Ivy League. … but the other place that I was seriously considering, which in a way looked as if it made way more sense, was Bennington, which was very much an arts school at that time and a school where aspiring young writers would go. And, of course, it was in the country and a beautiful, rural campus. But Bennington was just starting to take men, and I just thought that I needed something different. And it turned out, of course, that since I was there Princeton has developed an absolutely, just impeccably good writing program. When I was there, it was a very quiet creative writing program, but they did have that option. DW: That was early on. JH: Yes, that was early on, and because I was already interested in East Asian literature and things like that, they had a very strong program in that. So I took a lot of courses in that department, although it wasn't my major. DW: I'm curious about what drew you to poetry in the first place. I mean, I think that all of us who put words on paper ultimately find out what our talents are and what style we're going to follow. And some people are quite conversant in several different styles, and it always amazes me to see that. Why did poetry speak to you more than short fiction, long fiction, journalism …? JH: Well, I don't have the storytelling knack. So narrative, I wouldn't have been any good at it. You know, people who write fiction often grow up in houses where people told a lot of stories. My house was very silent and very unliterary and unworded. It was not an expressive family. And so for me, poetry is perhaps of the art forms the most intimate vehicle for the expression of the condition of your soul, of your deepest self at any given moment. And for me to write poems, I certainly started writing so young that it had nothing to do with thinking about a career or how I would spend my life. It much more had to do with how could I find a place of explorative investigation and safety where I could find out who I was and what I felt about the world. And that is what poems do. You know, it's a different work than telling a story. They are a path of discovery of how emotion and thought and conception can come together. I'm sorry. I start speaking so abstractly about these things. But that's because I'm not a good storyteller (laughs). If I was a storyteller, I'd have some marvelous story I could tell you about how I became a poet. But then I'd be a narrative poet and not the person I am (laughs). So, you know, you're getting all this mental stuff because I can't give you a story. But I felt, basically, when I wrote poems, I felt myself able to enter my own experience and to know it and to taste it and to feel it and to work with it a little bit. You know, to write a poem about your experience is to turn it into workable clay instead of an obdurate stone that you can have no relationship to, that you simple have to live with. Something like that. Good luck turning that into a sentence for the story (laughs). DW: There was a line in one of the stories, an article by Cynthia Haven, and she was talking about you constructing the poem "Justice Without Passion." And the quote was, "Initially, Hirshfield didn't know what the poem was about." I found that intriguing. That was the day you were sitting there listening to that kid play scales or something … JH: That's right. DW: … you couldn't work, and so then you had to start listening and then you started writing, but you didn't know what you were writing about. JH: Yes. And in a way, what I have to say is I never know what I'm writing about when I start a poem. Or almost never. There are very few poems where I actually know in advance what the poem will be and it does turn out to be that. But much, much more common is I simply feel some words, or I feel an image, and I listen. And a voice within me begins top speak. And it's only by following that voice that the poem then unfolds. So with "Justice Without Passion," all I knew was that I couldn't ignore the sound of this kid going plinka-plinka-plink. So I started to describe it. And as I started to describe it, I knew something interesting was starting to happen, and I had to find what was going to be the turn, what was going to be the revelation. Poems tell me something that I didn't know before I started to write them. If I haven't learned something while I'm writing a poem, then how can it bring news to anybody else about the world? Something undiscovered wants to come forward like a little shy creature out of the woods. And so you've read the Cynthia Haven piece, so you know the story. It was when I came to this phrase "evenhanded," and suddenly the pun of his even hands on the piano and the evenhandedness of people's ideas of justice with the blindfold on, that opened up the poem, and then I had a whole second level of something I cared about. You know, the horrible (Robert) Bork hearings were going on, and that man who had a cold heart and thought that was justice, which was much in the news. And so it was when the second level came in that the poem could go forward and I knew what the poem was about and I could write it. And the fact was it was dealing with, at one time, simultaneously, both the annoyance of my wonderful silence being broken and the deep pain it caused me that our country had come to a place where suddenly things that I had grown up thinking we stood for as a culture and as a country were not being valued. And this alternative vision was being put forward, and it caused me great pain and still does. That argument is still going on. DW: It's going on more today than ever. I went though those Bork hearings, and then through the Reagan years, never, ever thinking that we would be where we are today. JH: Right. A people lacking in compassion. DW: You talk about a cold heart. Isn't that exactly what is going on right now? JH: It certainly is. It's terrifying. DW: When I got back and went back to school on the G.I. Bill, I went to UC-San Diego, and I took a couple of poetry-writing seminars and tried my hand at it. But I could never figure out for me when the poem was done. How do you know when the poem is done? JH: I know the poem is done when I can feel the doorknob turn. Now, that's an image rather than an answer (laughs) … DW: But it's a poetic answer. JH: It's like when you turn a doorknob to open a door, you have to turn it one way, and then the door has to open and you walk through. That's that whole process of discovery that I was describing. But nothing is finished until that latch has to turn again. It's spring-loaded. Poems are spring-loaded, just like doorknobs, and this spring has to fulfill its destiny (laughs). And this is going to sound terribly cruel, and I'm putting it in personal terms of which you raised the question, but you probably didn't know the poems were done because they weren't. DW: Right. JH: It's a kind of knack. Every poem is an individual. If you start writing the same poem twice, you should retire. And so every poem is done differently. The finish themselves differently, they complete themselves differently, and I could sit down and do an analysis of types of endings that make you feel as if the thing was complete. But that would be a bit academic. It's mostly a matter of is there a sense not only that the discovery has been made and seen through to its full revelation but also that the metabolic changes that you go through when you read a poem that really moves you have fulfilled themselves and the heart is beating at a different speed. It's a kinesthetic sense for me. And it has to do with thought, but it also has to do with emotion. And we all know what it feels like to be cut off in mid-sentence. We all know what it feels like for something to not be finished. And I think we equally know what it feels like when something has finished, like a musical composition. And every once in a while … there's one poem in the new book that very deliberately is not finished. It breaks off in mid-sentence, and every time it's been published anywhere except in the book it's like people e-mail me back and they say, "I don't think your e-mail went through completely" (laughs). And I have to say, "No, no, that's right. That is deliberate." And the reason for it is that it's a poem that has behind it – and it's not explicit; there's nowhere in the poem that anyone would know this if I didn't I tell them – behind it were thinking both the deaths in Iraq and thinking about the deaths from the tsunami of two Christmases ago. And so the impulse to write the poem came out of the tsunami particularly, and that made me think about Iraq deaths as well. … people whose lives are cut off in mid-sentence. You know, most people are not the hero in the tragedy, the protagonist, whether it's Lear or a Greek tragedy. Their death gives their life meaning. But many, many people are not the protagonists. Many people die not in the fulfillment of their own life's meaning. The die because a wave comes or a bomb goes off, and they don't get to finish their sentence. And that is what the poem itself does. It doesn't finish the sentence. DW: What's the title? JH: "Those Who Cannot Act." It's also a little bit of a rhymed poem. People almost never notice when I do use rhyme because it's so rare, but that one does. It mentions Greek tragedy in it; it starts with a quote from Aeschylus' "Oresteia"; it's a refrain that runs throughout the play: "Those who act will suffer, suffer unto truth." That's what the protagonist gets to do. And then the poem goes on to say … would you like me to read the whole thing? It's very short. DW: Sure. JH: OK, so "Those Who Cannot Act." Audio clip: Listen to Jane Hirshfield read "Those Who Cannot Act" DW: Oh, ho. JH: You get it? DW: Absolutely. There was that moment there in which I went, "OK, go on." And then it hits you. Two things I like about that. One, I love the ending. But the other thing that I like about it is that you use a classical term, you know, Aeschylus, but you don't just use it and let it sit there. You go on and use it in context, so that the context of the poem explains Aeschylus rather than you having to understand Aeschylus to understand the poem. Now, if you understand Aeschylus, you can probably get more out of the poem. But there's so much poetry that I read that's so academic, that uses these references that to me is a big hand in the face of anyone who wants to get into the poem. JH: Right. If they don't know the thing, then the poem is a closed door. DW: Right: JH: Whereas with this all that's basically doing is telling you who wrote the quote that I've just given you. And you don't need more than that. It's a big question for poetry. … You don't want to dumb it down, but you also don't want to talk to yourself and five other people. And so if you're going to make reference to things that depend on an education of some sort, can you find a way to do it that isn't off-putting and slams the door shut. I'm not interested in writing code, I want to write things that help people feel. And think. And help them in their lives when they're having a hard time. The thing that gets to me the most is when someone lets me know when something happened in their life which was difficult and a poem of mine kept them good company. DW: Yeah. Have you written anything about 9/11? JH: I have, and that's also in this new book, right near the end. DW: "After," that's the book we're talking about. JH: Yes. And you could get a copy of that if you want. DW: I'm going out immediately after we stop talking and look for a copy at Auntie's Bookstore. JH: I really hope she has it. DW: It's a good, independent bookstore. … By the way, Tod Marshall set up the event, and he's a big fan of yours. JH: And I'm so grateful. This is launching a series for them, and I hope it will be a successful reading. I always like to see people finding a way to bring poets to speak in public. Anyway, to continue a thought … the poem about Sept. 11, which is near the end of the book, is called "The Dead Do Not Want Us Dead." And it was written on Sept. 15. And it really surprised me. Despite the fact that I've just talked to you about another poem that came out of current events, and this one as well, I don't think of myself as someone who can immediately respond to these things. But that was such an overwhelming thing. At the time Sept. 11 happened, I was teaching at a place in Vermont. And I had been supposed to give a seminar that afternoon and leave the next day. Well, obviously I didn't leave for a long time. … I went to the place and I said, "I can't possibly give the seminar that I was supposed to give." A lot of the people were from New York. Everybody was away from their family. Everybody was in this different place and with strangers, and they needed something to happen. So I sort of said, "You guys should have some sort of town hall meeting or a ceremony or something." And they said, "Great idea. Go ahead." And so I had maybe four hours to try to figure out what could I say to this group of people that would be helpful. Which meant, of course, that I had to figure out what could I say to myself that could be helpful. It forced me to come to grips much more quickly because I was given this responsibility. And what I came to was basically the only truth you can hold in the face of suffering was the need for compassion. So what I talked to them about was the roots of suffering and how the pain that caused this event goes back 40 years, 400 years, 4,000 years, 40,000 years. And how much I hoped our response to it would not be mindless seeking for revenge. That violence begetting violence is not the road to peace. Or justice. Or people living together with open hearts. So, those thoughts then became this little poem a few days later that I hadn't expected to write. I just sat down and wrote it out of the pressure of strong feeling. And the poem just got reprinted everywhere. It got picked up by a lot of magazines. It ended up in Sam Hamill's anthology, "Poems Against the War." DW: I know that book. JH: And it was written trying to forestall exactly what is now going on. It's a poem against revenge. It's saying, "If you let those people back alive, what would they want from their life? They would want eating, skipping, bad jokes. They would not want more suffering. So I believe. I know not everybody does. Return to Book Club Home // Contact Dan Webster |

Postcard designed for Subversive by Ray Fenwick!
While the rest of his kind pad listlessly through the forest looking for nothing more than rabbits and good hibernation caves, this fellow SEEKS THE TRUTH! Armed only with a customized divining stick and his advertising placards, he pushes aside even the fattest rabbits to reach for the one thing he knows is truly worth the search: RABBITS. I mean THE TRUTH. His fur is soft, but not too soft, and he'd be the first one to tell you that, because he IS UNABLE TO LIE.
sheets from Urban Outfitters
coin purse from blue Q
smacker book from if'n books
How does one even begin to describe the fabulous illustrator Ray Fenwick? How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? We decided to cut to the chase and just ask the genius himself. Don't miss his creation for us - our special big kit for the summer: Meat for the Beast!
RF: Oh my god, first question in and we're already bonding over shared experience! I hope the readers can feel the energy.
CQ: Why don't you start by telling us a little bit about your series Hall Of Best Knowledge and your boy genius alter-ego?
RF: Hall of Best Knowledge is a typographic comic I did that lasted just a little over a year. The idea was that each one was a lesson put forth by a nameless author who, for the most part, either gets things wrong or just uses the lesson as an excuse to talk about himself. The character is only ever present in voice, as the comic itself is mostly text, but you do get hints here and there about the age and life of the author. I mean, in the same way you get a sense of who your teachers are in any situation, which is to say that you learn about them in little stray bits and pieces over time. In this case, those bits and pieces end up telling you that the author is petty, insecure, obsessed with being smart and kind of a dick. Can I say that? Dick?
CQ: Please do.
RF: What's funny is that, like you mentioned, I think some people assumed the character was actually me, because there was no cartoon with a speech balloon that would tell you Oh, it's that guy there who is saying this stuff, right. So people who worked with my fiancé would ask her about the comic, wondering if I really thought such and such a thing, or if I was like that character. I'm not, in the literal ways, as some of that stuff was pretty ridiculous, but I do share some of his qualities. I mean, I'm ashamed to admit it, but I'm definitely obsessed with being smart. I often wish I was smarter, or am envious of other people whose intelligence I admire. I'm also insecure, petty, and can be kind of a dick. So, um, kind of similar?
CQ: Hmmm, interesting. Speaking of smart, as a Print magazine subscriber, I was super-impressed by their very smart interview of you earlier this year. They really showered you with admiration, and rightly so. And now I feel I know you a bit, it's like… the web imitating art imitating life or something. How do you stay so friendly and clever and grounded – is it Nova Scotia? Do you live in a cabin out in the wilderness or something? Do the bears in the forest surrounding your house not read Print? Don't they know who you ARE?!
RF: No, they don't know who I am, but it's not for lack of me trying. I actually roll down the street in a shiny, self-powered parade float, waving, nib-pen in hand, and on the side it says RAY FENWICK, ILLUSTRATOR WHO OFTEN DRAWS LETTERS, LET US CELEBRATE HIM. You know, just to get the word out. Any day now someone is going to chase me down and beg me to sign something and at that point I'll have to decide whether to stay grounded or just cut loose and become a celebrity. Weak and power hungry as I am, I'll probably choose the latter.
Now, as for bears, and the whole wilderness thing, I hope you aren't saying that because you assume Canada is some kind of untamed wilderness. Maybe you should come to Nova Scotia so that one of the bears can give you a geography sensitivity lesson.
CQ: As a Colbert fan, I simply couldn't put myself in the path of bears because of their extreme threatiness, but thanks. Speaking of bears, I'd love to know more about the Truth Bear. Is he a neighbor of yours? A pet? An illusion? Has Werner Herzog filmed you together?
RF: He's a complicated dude, The Truth Bear. I actually came across that image in an old book and loved it, the goofy look combined with the sense that he is guarding something, and he was holding up these blank signs. So I redrew him and thought that he would probably be guarding the truth, if anything. I realized later that it kind of made sense, if you think of truth as being, pardon the pun, the bear facts. That's flawed though, because I'm not so certain that that truth has anything to do with fact. Doesn't truth have more to do with acceptance than facts? See what I mean? He's complicated, and while you're puzzling over this stuff he can swat you with his paw and shatter your jaw.
CQ: Yowch! Another thing I have to ask about – the piece of yours that Julie has in her office. Is there a story behind it, was there anything in particular that inspired it? I love that it's drawn on an old book cover. Is that what people in Nova Scotia use for canvas?
RF: Actually, we make our canvases out of old lobster traps and ground up Americans. Watch it, lady! (see, he meant to say "mister"!) No, I am doing these single panel comic/art things and I thought it would be a nice contrast to have the medium they were drawn on be something with a history of sorts. The pieces are like the shortest of short stories, so it seems appropriate to have them on something that hints at a larger story, a larger idea. I also love process of art and craft as much as the finished piece, if not more, and so the hunt for these books satisfies that. As a book lover it feels strange to pull books out of thrift store bins, take them home and rip the covers off, but it kind of makes me feel like a man. I hunt, I kill, and then I, um, draw pictures on the skin.
The baby stealer, I have to say, is pretty random. I had drawn this little guy stealing a baby in my sketchbook, and there was this whole conversation between the baby stealer and the baby, a very calm and rational one, where they both speak like bored adults. The baby stealer is explaining why he looks the way he does, and the baby is going on and on about how surprising the whole process is. The core premise being that stealing babies is... funny? God, I don't know.
CQ: Right, you have to wonder how much money you'd get for them (I'm SO kidding!). I'm very impressed with the number of diverse products your designs are appearing on, including wallpaper (seriously?) Do you sleep on Urban Outfitters sheet sets?
RF: I told someone that I thought it would be vain and weird to sleep on sheets and pillow cases with my drawings on them, but the colour works nicely with the room so I caved in. I might be embarrassed if someone comes over and sees that though, because they might think, I don't know, that I am so self-obsessed that I have to swaddle myself in my own work just to get to sleep.
CQ: Will you start carrying a man purse when blue Q comes out with those excellent Fenwick coin purses?
RF: Are coin purses not masculine? I am so clueless. I guess the word purse implies feminine, but whatever, I would totally carry a coin purse. I would carry my brass knuckles and PCP in it. Open the purse, take the PCP, put on the brass knuckles, and then just go for it! I know PCP is not something to joke about. I'm sorry. But do you really want to make fun of the coin purse of a dude who is amped on Angel Dust and swinging his brassed knuckles around?
CQ: Oh HELL no! Of course you also created more clever artwork for a smacker book at if'n books (I've been smacking the cats with it all week, they love it). I wonder if you'll be taking up cross stitch and bookbinding now. Were you crafty like that as a kid? Are there any memorable little crafty projects you were particularly proud of that you could tell us about?
RF: I took a bookbinding class in art school, and it was a lot of fun, but for both that and cross stitch I think I prefer to leave that to people who have a consuming passion for it. I'm obsessed with making, but for now that mostly means drawing, and some printing.
I think I was pretty crafty as a kid growing up. I've made cards and gifts for as long as I can remember, which is a long time for the people who get that stuff every year—sorry guys. I also remember my mom and brother encouraging me to try and make a massive cardboard submarine in our basement, and I was pretty proud of that thing when I was through. My brother was the craft prince of our family though. For one of my birthdays he had the idea to convert the basement into a spaceship, so he covered all the walls with tinfoil and made these portholes with space scenes all over the place. You even entered the basement through a sort of airlock. It was incredible! He also made wireframe models of skulls out of twist-ties. How do you compete with a guy like that? I basically copied everything he did.
CQ: Wow, any photos of that spaceship??
And Lastly -- how busy is your life now and what's next? And would you design holiday cards for me before you get any more famous? I'll send you a fruitcake and some elves made of felt - promise!!
RF: The most pressing thing coming up is a vacation visiting family and friends in my old hometown. As for the holiday cards, as long as I can be paid in felt elves then I'm game. I try to negotiate felt things in to my contracts so this would be a pretty standard business transaction for me. We can talk.
CQ: Ooh- I'm off to gather some felt for elf-making! Thanks, Ray, for everything you do. We can't WAIT to see what's just around the corner!
Got a question for Crafty Query? Someone in the craft scene that you'd like to know better? Just wanna say HEY? Send your note to CRAFTY QUERY c/o firstname.lastname@example.com

Breakfast Topic: Why did you start playing WoW? {WoW}
Jul 2nd 2011 1:33PM My son had played WoW since right after vanilla beta. We have a severely disabled daughter, now 8 years old. During long nights in the hospital starting when she was just a year old (has it really been that long? I didn't actually start playing until after about a year of her hospitalizations), I was too sleepy to read, but I needed something to do while I waited for my daughter to need suctioning, repositioning, etc. I got a trial account and rolled a dwarf hunter, but I kept getting killed while I left him sitting when I went to take care of my daughter. So I rolled a night elf druid that could stealth when I needed to suddenly stop to go deal with her needs.
I made it all the way to 70, then 80, then 85, playing other toons along the way for variety, but hardly ever grouping or running instances since I could never been dependable, never knowing when I would have to stop and leave other people hanging.
We are fortunate enough to have 24-hour nursing now, and I have finally caught up on my sleep. I occasionally run instances, but I struggle with it because I don't know what I'm doing. Level 85, running dungeons like a noob--but I wouldn't have done it any other way. WoW helped get me through some difficult times, and if it means that impatient idiots boot me because I'm not uber enough, then so be it.
Breakfast Topic: Male or female? {WoW}
Jul 2nd 2011 12:58PM I'm with Moonfaxx on this one. When I'm in something like Second Life, the avatar represents me. But when I'm playing WoW or any number of other games, that thing on the screen isn't my avatar--it's more like my puppet. I'd rather look at a girl for hours and hours and hours, especially since I'm seeing the back 99% of the time.

I've changed my photos section a bit. I downloaded a photo gallery program I've been eyeing for a while and finally made a go of it.
It still needs some customization done, but all the photos are there. This will make adding photos a heck of a lot easier, therefore updates will happen more frequently!
