Best Member Poems
I FEAR thy kisses gentle maiden;
Thou needest not fear mine;
My spirit is too deeply laden
Ever to burthen thine.
I fear thy mien thy tones thy motion; 5
Thou needest not fear mine;
Innocent is the heart's devotion
With which I worship thine.
ONE word is too often profaned
For me to profane it
One feeling too falsely disdain'd
For thee to disdain it.
One hope is too like despair 5
For prudence to smother
And pity from thee more dear
Than that from another.
I can give not what men call love;
But wilt thou accept not 10
The worship the heart lifts above
And the Heavens reject not:
The desire of the moth for the star
Of the night for the morrow
The devotion to something afar 15
From the sphere of our sorrow?
In a happy reign there should be no hermits;
The wise and able should consult together....
So you, a man of the eastern mountains,
Gave up your life of picking herbs
And came all the way to the Gate of Gold --
But you found your devotion unavailing.
...To spend the Day of No Fire on one of the southern rivers,
You have mended your spring clothes here in these northern cities.
I pour you the farewell wine as you set out from the capital --
Soon I shall be left behind here by my bosomfriend.
In your sail-boat of sweet cinnamon-wood
You will float again toward your own thatch door,
Led along by distant trees
To a sunset shining on a far-away town.
...What though your purpose happened to fail,
Doubt not that some of us can hear high music.
In a happy reign there should be no hermits;
The wise and able should consult together....
So you, a man of the eastern mountains,
Gave up your life of picking herbs
And came all the way to the Gate of Gold --
But you found your devotion unavailing.
...To spend the Day of No Fire on one of the southern rivers,
You have mended your spring clothes here in these northern cities.
I pour you the farewell wine as you set out from the capital --
Soon I shall be left behind here by my bosomfriend.
In your sail-boat of sweet cinnamon-wood
You will float again toward your own thatch door,
Led along by distant trees
To a sunset shining on a far-away town.
...What though your purpose happened to fail,
Doubt not that some of us can hear high music.
To W. R. B.
And so, to you, who always were
Perseus, D'Artagnan, Lancelot
To me, I give these weedy rhymes
In memory of earlier times.
Now all those careless days are not.
Of all my heroes, you endure.
Words are such silly things! too rough,
Too smooth, they boil up or congeal,
And neither of us likes emotion --
But I can't measure my devotion!
And you know how I really feel --
And we're together. There, enough . . .
Say, where is now that glorious race, where now are the singers
Who, with the accents of life, listening nations enthralled,
Sung down from heaven the gods, and sung mankind up to heaven,
And who the spirit bore up high on the pinions of song?
Ah! the singers still live; the actions only are wanting,
And to awake the glad harp, only a welcoming ear.
Happy bards of a happy world! Your life-teeming accents
Flew round from mouth unto mouth, gladdening every race.
With the devotion with which the gods were received, each one welcomed
That which the genius for him, plastic and breathing, then formed.
With the glow of the song were inflamed the listener's senses,
And with the listener's sense, nourished the singer the glow--
Nourished and cleansed it,--fortunate one! for whom in the voices
Of the people still clear echoed the soul of the song,
And to whom from without appeared, in life, the great godhead,
Whom the bard of these days scarcely can feel in his breast.
Hark, oh hark the elfin laughter
All the little waves along,
As if echoes speeding after
Mocked a merry merman's song!
All the gulls are out, delighting
In a wild, uncharted quest
See the first red sunshine smiting
Silver sheen of wing and breast!
Ho, the sunrise rainbow-hearted
Steals athwart the misty brine,
And the sky where clouds have parted
Is a bowl of amber wine!
Sweet, its cradle-lilt partaking,
Dreams that hover o'er the sea,
But the lyric of its waking
Is a sweeter thing to me!
Who would drowze in dull devotion
To his ease when dark is done,
And upon its breast the ocean
Like a jewel wears the sun?
"Up, forsake a lazy pillow!"
Calls the sea from cleft and cave,
Ho, for antic wind and billow
When the morn is on the wave!
KLOPSTOCK would lead us away from Pindus; no longer
for laurel
May we be eager--the homely acorn alone must content us;
Yet he himself his more-than-epic crusade is conducting
High on Golgotha's summit, that foreign gods he may honour!
Yet, on what hill he prefers, let him gather the angels together,
Suffer deserted disciples to weep o'er the grave of the just one:
There where a hero and saint hath died, where a bard breath'd his
Both for our life and our death an ensample of courage resplendent
And of the loftiest human worth to bequeath,--ev'ry nation
There will joyously kneel in devotion ecstatic, revering
Thorn and laurel garland, and all its charms and its tortures.
"Spirituality is a magnet, and the magnet attracts iron, not wood or stone. Similarly, faith and devotion is an iron, who has that, spirituality will attract him, not an unbeliever."
Ehsan Sehgal
You are like an angel
You have lovely heart, decent thoughts
Your way of expression
And style of selection
Have made an special place
In my heart
In which resides a pure love
That you have achieved
My love and devotion, today and forever
I promise it remains only for you
No matter we see and meet each other or not
O' my love, my dear it is my wish
Be happy and blessed in every way of life.
Ehsan Sehgal?
God is in His holy temple;Thoughts of earth be silent now,While with reverence we assemble,And before His presence bow.He is with us, now and ever,While we call upon His name,Aiding every good endeavor,Guiding every upward aim.God is in His holy temple,—In the pure and humble mind;In the reverent heart and simple;In the soul from sense refined.Then let every low emotionBanished far and silent be;And our hearts in pure devotion,Lord, be temples worthy Thee.[Pg 024]
Today is Sunday.
For the first time they took me out into the sun today.
And for the first time in my life I was aghast
that the sky is so far away
and so blue
and so vast
I stood there without a motion.
Then I sat on the ground with respectful devotion
leaning against the white wall.
Who cares about the waves with which I yearn to roll
Or about strife or freedom or my wife right now.
The soil, the sun and me...
I feel joyful and how.
This morning Hitler spoke in Danzig, we hear his voice.
A man of genius: that is, of amazing
Ability, courage, devotion, cored on a sick child's soul,
Heard clearly through the dog wrath, a sick child
Wailing in Danzig; invoking destruction and wailing at it.
Here, the day was extremely hot; about noon
A south wind like a blast from hell's mouth spilled a slight rain
On the parched land, and at five a light earthquake
Danced the house, no harm done. Tonight I have been amusing myself
Watching the blood-red moon droop slowly
Into the black sea through bursts of dry lightning and distant thunder.
Well: the day is a poem: but too much
Like one of Jeffers's, crusted with blood and barbaric omens,
Painful to excess, inhuman as a hawk's cry.
Outside the long window,
With his head on the stone sill,
The dog is lying,
Gazing at his Beloved.
His eyes are wet and urgent,
And his body is taut and shaking.
It is cold on the terrace;
A pale wind licks along the stone slabs,
But the dog gazes through the glass
And is content.
The Beloved is writing a letter.
Occasionally she speaks to the dog,
But she is thinking of her writing.
Does she, too, give her devotion to one
Not worthy?
"Here we dwell, in holiest bowers,
Where angels of light o'er our orisans bend;
Where sighs of devotion and breathings of flowers
To heaven in mingled odour ascend.
Do not disturb our calm, oh Love!
So like is thy form to the cherubs above,
It well might deceive such hearts as ours."
Love stood near the Novice and listen'd,
And Love is no novice in taking a hint;
His laughing blue eyes soon with piety glisten'd;
His rosy wing turn'd to heaven's own tint.
"Who would have thought," the urchin cries,
"That Love could so well, so gravely disguise
His wandering wings, and wounding eyes?"
Love now warms thee, waking and sleeping,
Young Novice, to him all thy orisons rise.
He tinges the heavenly fount with his weeping,
He brightens the censer's flame with his sighs.
Love is the Saint enshrined in thy breast,
And angels themselves would admit such a guest,
If he came to them clothed in Piety's vest.
This holy season, fit to fast and pray,
Men to devotion ought to be inclin'd:
Therefore I likewise on so holy day,
For my sweet saint some service fit will find.
Her temple fair is built within my mind,
In which her glorious image placed is,
On which my thoughts do day and night attend,
Like sacred priests that never think amiss.
There I to her as th' author of my bliss,
Will build an altar to appease her ire:
And on the same my heart will sacrifice,
Burning in flames of pure and chaste desire:
The which vouchsafe, O goddess, to accept,
Amongst thy dearest relics to be kept.
As to democracy, fellow citizens,
Are you not prepared to admit
That I, who inherited riches and was to the manor born,
Was second to none in Spoon River
In my devotion to the cause of Liberty?
While my contemporary, Anthony Findlay,
Born in a shanty and beginning life
As a water carrier to the section hands,
Then becoming a section hand when he was grown,
Afterwards foreman of the gang, until he rose
To the superintendency of the railroad,
Living in Chicago,
Was a veritable slave driver,
Grinding the faces of labor,
And a bitter enemy of democracy.
And I say to you, Spoon River,
And to you, O republic,
Beware of the man who rises to power
From one suspender.
I spent my money trying to elect you Mayor
A. D. Blood.
I lavished my admiration upon you,
You were to my mind the almost perfect man.
You devoured my personality,
And the idealism of my youth,
And the strength of a high-souled fealty.
And all my hopes for the world,
And all my beliefs in Truth,
Were smelted up in the blinding heat
Of my devotion to you,
And molded into your image.
And then when I found what you were:
That your soul was small
And your words were false
As your blue-white porcelain teeth,
And your cuffs of celluloid,
I hated the love I had for you,
I hated myself, I hated you
For my wasted soul, and wasted youth.
And I say to all, beware of ideals,
Beware of giving your love away
To any man alive.
Fair youth with the rose at your lips,
A riddle is hid in your eyes;
Discard conversational quips,
Give over elaborate disguise.
The rose's funeral breath
Confirms by intuitive fears;
To prove your devotion, Sir Death,
Avaunt for a dozen of years.
But do not forget to array
Your terror in juvenile charms;
I shall deeply regret my delay
If I sleep in a skeleton's arms.
Said I: "See yon vast heaven shine,--
What earthly sight diviner?
Before such radiant Design
Why doubt Designer?"
Said he: "Design is just a thought
In human cerebration,
And meaningless if Man is not
Part of creation.
"But grant Design,--we may imply
The job took toil aplenty;
Then why one sole designer, why
Not ten or twenty.
"But should there be one Source supreme
Of matter and of motion,
Why mould it like our man-machine
For daft devotion?"
Said I: "You may be right or wrong,
I'll seek not to discover . . .
I listen to yon starry song,--
Still, still God's lover."
'Twas in a pub just off the Strand
When I was in my cups,
There passed a bloke with in his hand
Two tiny puling pups;
And one was on me with a bound,
Seeking to lick my face,
And so I bought him for a pound
And took him to my place.
Three acres by the shore I own,
A hut, a pint wood;
And there for fifteen years alone
He shared my solitude.
It was his own, his only world,
And when with hunting spent,
Each night beside my bed he curled,
And slept in sheer content.
My dog is dead. Though lone I be
I'll never have another;
For with his master-worship he
Was closer than a brother.
My foot is frail and I am old,
Yet how my heart can pity
Pups straining on a short leash-hold
And pent up in the city.
From all thought of self above,
And purged of sex emotion,
I know no form of living love
So deep as dogs devotion.
I have no hope at all of heaven,
I've lived in sin and strife;
But thank God! I at least have given
One dog a happy life.
I was near the King that day. I saw him snatch
And briskly scan the G.H.Q. dispatch.
Thick-voiced, he read it out. (His face was grave.)
'This officer advanced with the first wave,
'And when our first objective had been gained,
'(Though wounded twice), reorganized the line:
'The spirit of the troops was by his fine
'Example most effectively sustained.'
He gripped his beard; then closed his eyes and said,
'Bathsheba must be warned that he is dead.
'Send for her. I will be the first to tell
'This wife how her heroic husband fell.'
Sidney, in whom the heyday of romance
Came to its precious and most perfect flower,
Whether you tourneyed with victorious lance
Or brought sweet roundelays to Stella's bower,
I give myself some credit for the way
I have kept clean of what enslaves and lowers,
Shunned the ideals of our present day
And studied those that were esteemed in yours;
For, turning from the mob that buys Success
By sacrificing all Life's better part,
Down the free roads of human happiness
I frolicked, poor of purse but light of heart,
And lived in strict devotion all along
To my three idols -- Love and Arms and Song.
There have been times when I could storm and plead,
But you shall never hear me supplicate.
These long months that have magnified my need
Have made my asking less importunate,
For now small favors seem to me so great
That not the courteous lovers of old time
Were more content to rule themselves and wait,
Easing desire with discourse and sweet rhyme.
Nay, be capricious, willful; have no fear
To wound me with unkindness done or said,
Lest mutual devotion make too dear
My life that hangs by a so slender thread,
And happy love unnerve me before May
For that stern part that I have yet to play.
Let ancient stories round the painter's art,
Who stole from many a maid his Venus' charms,
Till warm devotion fired each gazer's heart
And every bosom bounded with alarms.
He culled the beauties of his native isle,
From some the blush of beauty's vermeil dyes,
From some the lovely look, the winning smile,
From some the languid lustre of the eyes.
Low to the finished form the nations round
In adoration bent the pious knee;
With myrtle wreaths the artist's brow they crowned,
Whose skill, Ariste, only imaged thee.
Ill-fated artist, doomed so wide to seek
The charms that blossom on Ariste's cheek!

Its not as hot as people think!
Luggage and bags: Anything will do... it doesnt matter, it doesnt rain here...and if it does, its not usual except for a little dribble.. So pack anything thats comfortable i guess!
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: If your planning on going to the beach (which you probably are) sandals would be fine... If your going out for a nice evening, woman can wear high heels, and men can wear dress shoes. Depending on where your going, differs on what you should wear. Tee shirts and jeans are fine... just bring a light sweater and your uggs and you'll fit in!
Photo Equipment: A regular camera will do.... and if u have a zoom lens i suggest you bring that as well.. Film you can use anywhere from ISO 200 to maybe even 400. No need for any filters unless you want to take sunset shots which you might want too after seeing our sunsets!!
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: There are several camp sites around in Malibu but the only one i have been to was at Leo Carrillo. Its a very beautiful and safe area and you can have two choices, to camp on the beach or in the "forest" near a little creek. Another good camp site my dad keeps telling me about is at Malibu Creek State Park. Its supposed to have great wildlife looking with beautiful hiking trails and a real nice feel to it. Look either one up, they both are superb! There are also some others up on Mulholland Drive in the Santa Monica mountains. Gorgeous if you've never been!
Miscellaneous: Bring sun block and some shades. It can get pretty bright out!
Packing List
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Hiking
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Even though you're near the ocean, you should bring plenty of water because it can get hot up in the Malibu hills. the picture shows the junction of Bull Dog Motorway and Castro Motorway which is part of what's called the Malibu Backbone Trail.

Hi There,
A week ago or so we began experiencing a problem when we connect our cinema projector via vga using Mint 12 (I am on an Hp Pavillon dv7 laptop along with Windows Vista and Ubuntu 11.04) . So once you plug the vga cable Mint freezes and all you could still do is force shut-down, restart on Ubuntu 11.04 and view your movie. Does anyone have any idea why is this happening? I tried to login with all Gnome variations and with Mate. All the same.
I think the only thing besides the regular updates are some new dependencies that my wife tried unsuccessfully to install to run the ipod.
Thanks in advance.

I have a dataframe with several columns and indexed by dates. I would like to pad missing values but only for the next x days. It means that a missing value will not be padded if its difference in index is more than x days with the previous non missing value in this column.
I did something with a loop but it is not very efficient. Is there a better and more elegant way of doing it ?
I precise that the dates in my index are not equally spaced so the limit argument will not work.

Simon Cornish received his D.Phil. in experimental atomic and laser physics from Oxford University in 1998. He was then awarded a Lindemann Fellowship and moved to Boulder, Colorado, to work on Bose-Einstein condensation with Carl Wieman. In 2001 he returned to Oxford University as a postdoctoral researcher and in 2002 was awarded a prestigious University Research Fellowship from the Royal Society. In 2004 he moved to Durham University where he now leads a research group working in the field of ultracold quantum matter. His current interests include the study of bright matter-wave solitons, the formation of ultracold heteronuclear molecules, and the applications of neutral atoms and molecules to quantum computation and precision measurement.
Atoms colliding in a magnetic field can form weakly bound states called Feshbach molecules. These states have now been used in combination with advanced laser techniques to create tightly bound ground-state molecules close to quantum degeneracy.

There really is no best rom, it's all about user preference and exactly what you do with your phone. Try them each out for a week to weigh the pros/cons (or in your case scope out the battery life), then go with the one that you like best.

Giancarlo Guerrero on YouTube
"Giancarlo Guerrero excels at large-scale orchestral showpieces, and he was clearly in his element with this massive 50-minute work (The Planets). The slow, relentless buildup to a full crescendo in Mars was masterfully achieved, the climaxes delivered with brutal force.
Guerrero and the orchestra brought Holst's instrumental colors vividly to life, the transparent variety of dynamics wonderfully clear."
Miami Herald
Giancarlo Guerrero is the Music Director of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra and concurrently holds the position of Principal Guest Conductor of the Cleveland Orchestra's prestigious Miami Residency. Giancarlo Guerrero has led the Nashville Symphony to several Grammy wins in consecutive years with the recording of American composer Joseph Schwantner's Concerto for Percussion and Orchestra and with Michael Daugherty's Metropolis Symphony and Deus Ex Machina which won three Grammy Awards in 2011, including the category of Best Orchestral Performance. An advocate of new music and contemporary composers, Guerrero has collaborated with and championed the works of several of America's most respected composers, including John Adams, John Corigliano, Osvaldo Golijov, Jennifer Higdon, Michael Daugherty, Roberto Sierra, and Richard Danielpour. Recordings of music by Richard Danielpour and Roberto Sierra were released in the last season on Naxos, along with Bela Fleck's Banjo Concerto, again with the Nashville Symphony on Deutsche Gramophon.
An instinctive musician, Giancarlo Guerrero is a warm and generous personality on stage. In the 2014/15 season he will return to the Deutsche Symphonie Orchester Berlin, London Philharmonic Orchestra and Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra, and will conduct for the first time the Residentie Orkest, Orchestre National de France, the Netherlands Philharmonic, and Tonkünstler Orchester.
In Europe, Giancarlo Guerrero has worked with great success with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo, Strasbourg Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse and the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
In recent seasons Guerrero has appeared with many of the major North American orchestras, including the symphony orchestras of Baltimore, Boston, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, Houston, Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and National Symphony in Washington, DC. He has also appeared at several major US summer festivals including the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl and the Cleveland Orchestra at Blossom Music Festival.
An advocate for young musicians and music education, Mr. Guerrero now returns annually to Venezuela to conduct the Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar and to work with young musicians in the country's lauded El Sistema music programme. He is also a frequent guest conductor with the Sao Paulo SO.
Early in his career, Guerrero worked regularly with the Costa Rican Lyric Opera and in recent seasons has conducted new productions of Carmen, La bohème and Rigoletto. Future plans include productions at the Houston Grand Opera and Marseille Opera. In February 2008, he gave the Australian premiere of Osvaldo Golijov's one-act opera Ainadamar at the Adelaide Festival.

2014/15 Season / 408 words. Not to be altered without permission. Please destroy all previous biographical material.
Houston Grand Opera / Puccini Madame Butterfly"The other show-stealer in this production is Guerrero, making his HGO conducting debut…the music is super. And the orchestra did a stunning job with Puccini's radiant score… His spirit was enlivening and without doubt made this recycled production feel fresh and vibrant."Houstonia Mag, January 2015
Cleveland Orchestra / Rodrigo, Respighi, Tchaikovsky & Rimsky-Korsakov"[Guerrero] deftly blended and balanced Rodrigo's piquant wind and string writing without overpowering his soloist. Rhythms were crisp and snappy, the unison violins sounded lustrous and brash trumpet interjections in the finale perked up the ears."Miami Herald, November 2014
Nashville Symphony / Rachmaninov"Guerrero and the NSO concluded with the composer's Symphony No. 2, a sprawling, plush carpet of a piece that boasts some of Rachmaninoff's most memorable melodies. The strings were utterly ravishing, especially in the lustrous third-movement adagio. English horn, clarinet and French horn solos were also beautifully burnished."ArtsNash, October 2014
Grant Park Orchestra / Grant Park Music Festival / Danielpour, Saint-Saëns, Poulenc"Guerrero led the orchestra in an alert accompaniment, nicely bringing out the lilting delicacy of the central Allegretto.
Guerrero led a polished and energetic performance of Poulenc's confection with especially snappy trumpet playing in the ersatz Baroque of the opening Rondeau."Chicago Classical Review, July 2014
Nashville Symphony / Berlioz, Beethoven, Richard Strauss"Guerrero…gave the music a colossal interpretation, leading the NSO in a performance notable for its rich expressiveness and gloriously transparent textures."ArtsNash, April 2014
Cleveland Orchestra (Miami Residency) / Dvorak, Wagner and Tchaikovsky"Much of the credit belongs to conductor Giancarlo Guerrero… who brings to the podium not only vitality and insight but also an appealing physical dynamism.
With Guerrero, it wasn't just the usual emotion and gusto that impressed. No, the performances… also boasted such Classical virtues as restraint, cohesion and clarity."The Plain Dealer, March 2014
Cleveland Orchestra (Miami Residency) / Mozart, Holst, Higdon"Giancarlo Guerrero excels at large-scale orchestral showpieces, and he was clearly in his element with this massive 50-minute work (The Planets). The slow, relentless buildup to a full crescendo in Mars was masterfully achieved, the climaxes delivered with brutal force.
Guerrero and the orchestra brought Holst's instrumental colors vividly to life, the transparent variety of dynamics wonderfully clear."Miami Herald, March 2014
Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra / Buxtehude, Tchaikovsky & Jongen"Conductor Giancarlo Guerrero urged the orchestra to heights of Stokowskian splendour, but did not neglect textural subtleties in more subdued moments.
At the other end of the programme, Guerrero went all out for high-tensile drama in Tchaikovsky's Pathetique Symphony."New Zealand Herald, July 2013
Toronto Symphony Orchestra / Tchaikovsky & Rimsky-Korsakov"The Toronto Symphony players, who have reached a new level of fine playing over the course of this season, were flawless. And what made the music compellingly human was the nuance Guerrero managed to tease out in the process."The Toronto Star, May 2013
Back to Top
Joseph Schwantner / Percussion Concerto / Nashville Symphony Orchestra and Christopher Lamb"The performances by the Nashville Symphony under Giancarlo Guerrero are as brilliant and exuberant as the music itself, and are very well recorded. Naxos, which happens to be located in Nashville, has a lot to be proud of with this one."ClassicsToday.com, February 2012
"Lamb, the Nashville Symphony and Guerrero give [...] immaculate performances in all three works [...] this is Guerrero's third CD for Naxos, but his previous recordings, both conducting the Nashville, were memorable and warmly received"MusicWeb International.com, February 2012
"The Nashville Symphony, conducted by its music director, Giancarlo Guerreo, plays the music as if it owns it, stepping up to give performances befitting the greatest orchestras in the world. The recording is rich and lucidly detailed"Fanfare, November 2011
"Music director Giancarlo Guerrero and the symphony provided polished and atmospheric accompaniment in all three movements [... they] play the piece with brilliance and flair"Nashville Scene, June 2011
Micheal Daugherty / Metropolis Symphony / Nashville Symphony Orchestra"The Metropolis Symphony is a big burly phantasmagoric romp of a symphony. That it was inspired by the fiftieth anniversary of Superman's arrival in the pages of DC Comics is consistent with the work's riotous primary colours and indefatigable rowdy energy.
"Daugherty must be very pleased with this disc which also draws attention to a name new to me: Giancarlo Guerrero. Watch out for more from him and from Daugherty".MusicWeb International.com, Sept 2009
"It's terrifically entertaining, and this new recording is every bit as fine as the premiere from David Zinman on Argo. The Nashville Symphony plays with the necessary brilliance, and conductor Giancarlo Guerrero turns in an interpretation just as vivid as its predecessor, timing out within a few seconds in just about every movement".ClassicsToday.com, Nov 2009

Social protesters block Ayalon (2) 390.
(photo credit:Ben Hartman)
In what was the most violent encounter between social justice protesters
and police since the protest movement began last summer, over two
thousand protesters clashed with police in central Tel Aviv Saturday
night, against what they said was police brutality at a protest the day
before.Protesters broke windows at three different bank branches in central Tel
Aviv and managed to block off the Ayalon Freeway for around a half hour
during the mayhem. By the end of the night police announced the arrests
of 85 protesters, including over 30 who were seen being driven away
from the City Hall in a Dan bus that had been commandeered by police.Most of the arrests took place outside the city hall and the Bank Leumi
branch at Gan Hair Mall next door, where protestors had rushed inside
with a tent and smashed two outside windows. Moments earlier protesters
broke the front window of a Bank Hapoalim branch a few meters away, and
on the way to the Ayalon two men threw paving stones at a Bank Hapoalim
branch of Arlozorov, breaking a window. Protesters also rushed into a
Discount Bank branch on Ibn Gvirol, but did not make any lasting damage,
mainly just throwing paper in the air and making a mess before they
were cleared out. Despite the large number of arrests, at many times during the night
police appeared to hold back, most glaringly during the short-lived
blocking of the Ayalon. Police made no arrests of protestors blocking
the highway, rather, they allowed them to stop traffic and then march on
the Ayalon from Arlozorov train station to the Hashalom exit next to
Arieli mall. Among the hundreds of people marching were only a few
YASSAM riot police walking along the concrete divider in a single file
line.Speaking at a short press briefing held late Saturday night outside the shattered front window of a Bank Hapoalim branch, Tel Aviv District Police Commander Major General Aharon Aksol said that protestors had thrown rocks and spit at police and in general used violence throughout the demonstrations.Aksol said the demonstrators "crossed all possible red lines" adding that police "carried out more than a few arrests tonight and we will work to see that indictments are brought against all of those arrested as soon as possible."He said when the march, which began at Habima, reached Ibn Gvirol, "That group of violent thugs who are not from the 'social justice' crowd breaking into banks. This group does not really represent social justice."Aksol said that throughout the night police made the decision to step back and allow protestors to block streets, including the Ayalon Freeway, avoiding a confrontation while allowing the protestors to burn off energy.Saturday night protest took place a day after police arrested protest leader Daphni Leef and 12 others at a demonstration Friday, during which activists attempted to re-establish the protest camp on Rothschild Boulevard that served as a symbol of the 2011 summer protest movement.Leef was also at Saturday night's protest, where her arm was heavily bandaged from an injury she said she suffered during her arrest. Leef also said the incident left her with two bruised ribs.Police said Saturday night that they did not think that Leef's arrest had played a role in making the protests the next night as intense as they were, saying that certain protestors had planned ahead of time on making the protest violent.Meretz leader Zehava Gal-On on Saturday slammed the Israel Police's treatment of social justice protesters on Friday night."The Israel Police is behaving as it would in a police state, rather than a democratic state," she said. "It has become a political repressive instrument of the government, against all groups that protest against it. We saw on Rothschild Boulevard how the police are serving the government rather than the law."Opposition leader Shelly Yechimovich said Friday that evidence was growing to suggest police used excessive violence in their breaking up of a social justice protest in central Tel Aviv on Friday at the site of last summer's Rothschild Tent City.Yechimovich stated that protesters, old and young alike, were beaten, and actor Tomer Sharon and social justice movement leader Daphne Leef were arrested for no reason."Despite the fact that Public Security Minister [Yitzhak] Aharonovitch told me clearly in the Knesset that there was no order from on high to take harsh steps against the movement's protesters, it turns out that the government and its operational branches have decided not to enable the existence of democratic protests this summer," Yechimovich stated.Meretz MK Nitzan Horowitz called the police's arrests of social justice activists on Friday "brutal" and proof that "the government is afraid and doing all in its power to block the renewal of the protest movement."He added: The activists returned to the streets because nothing they were promised last summer was delivered, the situation only worsened."

Phoenix Suns
Mother nature wreaking havoc on Phoenix Suns' travel plans
PHOENIX -- As good as the Phoenix Suns have been this season, they are no match for Mother Nature.
She scored another victory Monday, delaying and ultimately postponing the team's charter flight to Chicago, where temperatures dropped to minus 14 degrees with a wind chill of minus 41.
The Suns were due to fly out early Tuesday morning. They're scheduled to arrive in Chicago roughly seven hours before they tip off against the Bulls to start a season-high five-game, week-long road trip.
Head coach Jeff Hornacek said a series of delays Monday led the Suns to decide to go "old school" and fly on the day of the game.
"You know, we're going to get in (to Chicago) at 4:30 in the morning," he told Doug and Wolf Tuesday on Arizona Sports now on 98.7 FM. "By the time guys get their bags and fall asleep, it's going to be 5:30. Let's just stay here and see if we can go in the morning.
"We have to concern ourselves with more than just (Tuesday night's) game. We've got five games in seven nights. We felt that the screwing up of sleep (Monday) would have an effect the whole trip."
NBA teams do not make a habit out of traveling on game day.
The Suns last did so in 2006.
Stranded in Denver for two days after their game against the Nuggets had been called off because of a blizzard, the Suns arrived back in the Valley on December 22 shortly before they were to host the Washington Wizards.
The Suns lost, ending a 15-game winning streak despite the best efforts of Steve Nash, who had 42 points and 12 assists. He was outperformed, however, by Gilbert Arenas, who scored 54 to help the Wizards win 144-139 in overtime.
Of course that Suns team rebounded nicely.
The next month they put together a 17-game winning streak on their way towards a 61-win season in 2006-07.
Hornacek said that he did the fly-and-play combo back in his playing days.
"It typically wasn't a three hour and fifteen-minute flight," he joked, "but we used to fly to L.A. or Utah on the day of the game.
"(Assistant coach) Jerry Sichting said it yesterday, 'we'll find out if these guys are as tough as the guys in the 80s and see how they play (Tuesday) night.'"
By the way, the high in Chicago Tuesday is expected to be six degrees, or 65 degrees cooler than in Phoenix.
Stay warm, Suns.

In today's mail
sent to "current resident" would have gone unopened into the wood-stove, but the return address
: UCLA Center for Health Policy Research
piqued my curiosity, so I opened it.
Stated I will hear from them in the next two weeks, answering a survey on Health Care Policy - one member of my household will be selected to answer questions, preferably a teenager.
Participation voluntary and confidential...and so on.
Enclosed is a $2.00 bill to thank me, even if I don't want to participate.
The letter, on good stationary and nice graphics, comes in English and four languages
I am sure it's not a scam, i wonder what they want to do with that research.
I don't plan to participate, I don't do surveys, they are usually slanted and I don't wish to bother myself,
they don't usually like my answers anyway, they don't fit the mold.
I think I donate the two dollars to a local charity and let my answering machine deal with them.
What would you do?
Sounds strange! Anyone can print that address on an envelope. Don't answer any questions, they are interviewing you to learn what medications etc. you might be taking so they know what is available in your home. Why would they send you money in advance? Very wierd, I think. But, that 's just my take on it. We've had phone calls that are suppose to be from our State Health Dept., they will only talk to my husband, they won't talk to me. He is hard of hearing, so that ended the conversation. Sincerely, don't give them any info about your health.
So far I have not heard from them, I tend to want to refuse, because I don't do surveys. Last one and the only one I think, was by a dog-food brand (think it was Alpo, not sure)
I was asked what brand I use, it was not theirs, next question: does it look appetizing to you? I said no, but you have to ask my dogs, they have their own opinion about appetizing - they cut the interview short LOL
UCLA Center for Health Policy Research. It's funding is a curious mixture of state, federal and private support and its purpose is to provide fodder for statistical data for researchers who pay to access it. Googleable if that is where it came from and you can read all about it.
Puts me in mind of the Neilson TV ratings. For several years running, we'd get a notice we were a Neilson family. We got the little $ incentive to participate and we were supposed to log every show we watched for X weeks. It was so funny we'd be included in a survey for television. In my occupation, the only channel I would run, all day long was local Weather.

Handbuilding Video: How to Make Strong Appendages on Coil Built Forms
A few weeks ago, I posted a clip from Joyce Michaud's new DVD Hand Thrown: East Asian Wedged Coil Technique. In the clip, Joyce gave a great introduction to this technique, which combines coiling with potter's wheel concepts. This combination makes for coil-built pieces that are very strong structurally. Today I decided to share with you another tasty morsel from the DVD. Joyce takes the instruction further by explaining how these same principles can be used to make very strong appendages on pieces.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Charleswood swimmer earns $1,000
Athlete returns to swimming after two-month break
A Charleswood resident swam her way to $1,000.
Kendra Garagan, a 21-year-old University of Manitoba student, received a $1,000 scholarship from Sport Manitoba. She is one of 15 student athletes that received the Manitoba Foundation for Sports scholarships. Eight high school students received scholarships of $500 each, and seven university students received scholarships of $1,000 each.
Receiving the scholarship made Garagan feel proud.
"I worked really hard to be able to apply for things like that, and it was really good to be recognized with the other athletes," Garagan said.
Garagan has been swimming since she was in Grade 1. After seeing her older cousin swim, she jumped into the sport, since she had always liked being in the water. Garagan eventually found swimming lessons too boring, and wanted a challenge. That's when she decided to swim competitively.
"It's really fun. You get close to your teammates, and it keeps you really busy. It's a chance to work out and have fun," Garagan said.
Garagan recently returned to swimming after a two-month break. She started to swim with the University of Manitoba Bisons swim team at the beginning of the school year, adding that getting back into the swing of things was challenging after the two-month hiatus.
"I've been training, and I work out at the Reh-Fit Centre," Garagan said. "Next year, I'll be back on the varsity team."
In high school, Garagan was a distance freestyler. Now, with the Bisons, Garagan's main specialty is the 200 IM (individual medley).
"IM is all four strokes in one race: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle," Garagan explained. "If it's a 200 IM, then it's 50 yards of each stroke."
Garagan wants to swim competitively once she's out of school, but is unsure if that's going to be a concrete plan in her future.
"I am studying business right now. I love marketing, so I hope to major in that," Garagan said.

A genuine "Bornholm harbour", i.e., it was blasted out of the rocks, and the resulting chunks of granite were used to construct the solid harbour structures and surfaces.
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.
