The day after a snowstorm, folks who ski tend to reference sunny, clear-blue skies as evidence of a bluebird day. If I can extend that term to include my hiking adventures, then I've recently enjoyed two bluebird days – one at Big Basin Redwoods back on February 24th, and the other this past Sunday at Briones Regional Park.
Quite fortuitously, each of these hikes had occasion to occur two days after moderate seasonal rainfall late in the week, each rain quickly giving way to clear weather and allowing adequate drainage and drying of the trail surface. By the time I'd arrived at their trailheads, the soils at each park had yielded a near-perfect tack, comfortable underfoot and presenting only minor incidence of loose footing in the shadowed low spots.
It had been another in a series of long weeks at work, and I first had to get past the frustrations of deciphering dense Engineerese and an all-too-tall pile of workload. A good night's sleep and a few miles of road between my Sunnyvale home and the hills of Orinda seemed to carve away the vestiges of these vexations, but once I stepped out of my truck at Briones Park's Bear Creek Trailhead, breathed the cool green hills, laced my boots and embraced a friend, all care quickly melted into a serene pace and welcome chatter.
Within a few steps, my week had suddenly and gratefully distilled into a decoction of carpe the damn bluebird diem.
We strode out on a counterclockwise loop, Angela and I, first walking a trail east along Bear Creek before angling right along Homestead Valley Trail. We encountered the softest earth along these lower flats which, though pocked with cow sign, were easily navigable, yet too laden with moisture to support wildflower displays. After perhaps a mile, our route took us left onto Briones Crest Trail and into hills rampant with coast live oak, yet studded here and there with madrone, bay laurel and, as we climbed higher to a junction with Table Top Trail, a scattering of surprisingly tall, quickly-growing buttercups.
Eventually we emerged from the trees onto an open ridge below Briones Peak and enjoyed our first glimpse of the surrounding countryside. Mt. Diablo shimmered beyond us to the east above the town of Walnut Creek, its twin peaks prominent on the morning skyline; to the west, we could easily recognize the unmistakable contours of Mt. Tamalpais.
We sauntered on, gaining Briones Peak, then continued northwest, following the crest of the ridge toward Mott Peak. The land undulated away to the north below us, offering a dazzling view of the Carquinez Straits, the Mayacamas Ridge in Sonoma County beyond and, just below us, the twin Sindicich lagoons.
Up until now we had generally followed the main trails, which had in large part been wide ranch road. But having seen that the trail we were on skirted the high point of the park, Mott Peak, I eschewed pretense and instead decided to follow a fenceline cow trail directly upslope to its summit. Mild protestations from Angela elicited a brief discussion of rhythmic breathing technique and, before we were scarcely aware of it, we were communing with the meadowlarks and ravens atop the peak, and hungrily unwrapping our sandwiches.
At 1,424 feet, the view from Mott Peak is nothing if not commanding, and so we sat and gazed awhile at the splendor surrounding us, gratefully chowing down and occasionally commanding sips from a bottle of Herrick Red from Conn Creek Winery, a classic yet affordable Bordeaux-style wine sourced and blended from Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grapes grown in Napa Valley's Rutherford district.
On such a comfortable, sun-warm day, it was easy to accept the notion that we should simply linger in the grass among the Red Maids, allow the gentle Bay breeze to caress us, and let our thoughts wander in unbroken reverie, but our feet eventually ruled the moment, given to notions of wandering themselves. And so we ambled downhill, back along Mott Peak Trail to Black Oak Trail which, though it descends sharply enough to wisely warrant a counterclockwise circumnavigation of the Briones Crest, quickly returned us to Old Briones Road and our cars.
If you're going to Briones Regional Park
The wildflowers are just beginning to bloom, so now through mid-May is a great time to explore the magic of Briones Regional Park. The majority of the park's over 6,000 acres of open space is unshaded and open to the elements, so be sure to wear sunscreen, even a wide-brimmed hat. The Briones Regional Park website a includes a downloadable trail map; parking at the Briones Park office and the Alhambra, Bear Creek, Lafayette Ridge and Reliez Valley staging areas is $3 and is open from 8 a.m. to sunset.

When Victoria Fash retired from her job in London and decided to move back to the United States, she planned to sell her seven antique boats.
But when the time came, there was one vessel she just couldn't part with, the one named Humble, a wooden, electric boat built more than a century ago.
"I loved them all dearly," she said of the fleet. "When I got to this one, I couldn't do it.... I just couldn't leave her with somebody else."
Fash, a former chief executive with a global healthcare information and technology company, arranged, as they say in Britain, a crossing. Humble traveled by freighter to San Francisco, then on a big rig to Newport Beach, where the boat is now moored in the harbor waters facing Fash's Lido Isle home.
The craft usually sits under a cover, but Saturday, roughly a year after its journey, it was shown publicly in its new home city for the first time, along with about 46 boats at the Balboa Yacht Club's inaugural wooden boat festival. The old vessel ended up claiming first prize at an event attended by more than 1,000 enthusiasts.
"Anybody, whether you love boats or don't, is going to get blown away by seeing what is here," Ralph Rodheim, the show's organizer, said before the event. "You can't describe it. The designs, the colors, the varnish, the majesty, I don't have a big enough vocabulary to tell you how awesome this is."
Bringing Humble stateside cost a "bloody fortune," Fash says, but she found organizing and paying for the passage well worth it.
Humble was, after all, considered the best boat in England at one time, said Fash, who has pieced together a rich history.
Built in 1902 by an unknown ship maker, Humble was acquired by the Prince of Wales, who took her on a European tour.
But the "brave little boat" wasn't just used for leisure and travel. The British Navy commandeered it during World War II, outfitting the vessel — named Able at that time — with hydraulic pumps and a steam engine. It was used as a firefighting boat to protect military supplies and buildings.
In the late 1950s, two brothers turned the boat into a passenger ferry, installing cheap chairs and a tacky umbrella. They shuttled up to 50 people at a time along the River Thames, from Windsor to London, until the mid-1960s.
Then the boat, renamed for the brothers' grandmother, fell on hard times. Her keel started to rot —until a wealthy owner came along, who Fash said remade the craft to look exactly as it should.
By the time Fash discovered Humble, in 2002, it had been through a host of new owners and again fallen into disrepair.
The 52-foot boat was a wreck, kept from sinking only by the strap of a crane, which a boatyard owner had kindly slung underneath. The tip of the boat was under the water. The floorboards had been taken out. Its appearance was dulled.
But the beautiful shape of the bow convinced Fash of one thing: The vessel had to be saved.
"It's a beautiful, unique piece of floating history," she said. "I thought, 'Well, it's only money. You'll do something that lasts forever, if you take care of it.'"
Fash, an American prone to using British expressions from her time abroad, bought the boat for about $120,000. Restoration took two years, and soon, she was taking the boat out on the water for 150-guest parties and dinner seatings of 22 around the dining table.
The English took to calling the now-shining vessel "Not So," as in "Not So Humble."
Humble arrived in Newport Beach roughly a year ago, again in need of work. Its British electric charging system did not work in the U.S. and had to be replaced. The original mahogany needed varnish.
As Fash put it, "She was such a mess from the trip, poor dear."
Standing on her dock Thursday with her toy Pomeranian, George, cradled in one arm, Fash remarked that the boat is now in top shape.
Humble was washed last week, and a team had been polishing its many brass accents. The mahogany shone, the metal steering wheel sparkled, the monogrammed champagne flutes were at the ready.
Inside Fash's home, one of her antique clocks was being worked on too. Since buying Humble, she has developed a love for old things.
For the show, she bought a new Victorian-era outfit — a rich purple dress, white parasol and gloves, round hat and purple shoes — as she does for every boat show she enters.
Wearing the same outfit twice, she said, would be tacky.

SNPwatch gives you the latest news about research linking various traits and conditions to individual genetic variations. These studies are exciting because they offer a glimpse into how genetics may affect our bodies and health; but in most cases, more work is needed before this research can provide information of value to individuals. For that reason it is important to remember that like all information we provide, the studies we describe in SNPwatch are for research and educational purposes only. SNPwatch is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice; you should always seek the advice of your physician or other appropriate healthcare professional with any questions you may have regarding diagnosis, cure, treatment or prevention of any disease or other medical condition.
New research shows that genetics may influence how quickly Alzheimer's disease progresses among people with the late-onset form of the disease.
Kauwe et al studied a sample of 361 people with late-onset Alzheimer's and 358 similar-aged individuals who did not have the disease. They found that having two copies of an A rather than two copies of a G at a particular position in the genetic sequence accelerated the pace at which symptoms appeared. That location — the SNP rs3785883 — is located in the gene that encodes the tau, one of two proteins that accumulate in the brains of people with Alzheimer's.
Two characteristic changes are seen in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. Plaques are sticky masses of a protein called amyloid-beta that form between neurons. Tangles are aggregates of the tau protein that form inside of neurons.
Both plaques and tangles can be observed only during an autopsy. This makes a definitive diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease difficult in living patients. But recent research has shown that the levels of amyloid-beta and tau in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients can be used as markers for the disease.
Kauwe et al originally examined a different group of 313 European Americans and found that the A version of rs3785883 is associated with increased levels of tau protein in the CSF, a sign of Alzheimer's disease.
The researchers then divided the sample of 313 individuals into two groups: those with normal levels of amyloid-beta in their CSF, and those with decreased levels. Lower — not higher — amyloid-beta in the CSF has been associated with the presence of plaques in the brain.
The A version of rs3785883 was associated with increased tau protein levels only in those people who had decreased amyloid-beta in their CSF, the researchers reported Monday in a paper published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. These findings are what led the researchers to investigate the effects of rs3785883 on Alzheimer's disease progression.
The study's authors suggest that rs3785883 does not influence whether someone will get Alzheimer's disease, but instead it may influence the age at which symptoms appear. They propose that in people where the disease has already begun — as evidenced by lower amyloid-beta levels in the CSF — the A version of rs3785883 moves the disease along more quickly.
It is important to note that rs3785883 does not appear to influence a person's overall risk of getting Alzheimer's. Also, rs3785883 was not associated with early-onset Alzheimer's, which strikes before age 65. In the Kauwe et al study, even those people with two copies of the A version of rs3785883 (who developed Alzheimer's disease earlier than those with two copies of the G version) had the late-onset form of the disease, which develops after age 65.

North Raleigh: Sports
Wakefield's Bo Boyden beat Millbrook's Logan Weber for Cap Eight tennis title
Wakefield's Bo Boyden and Millbrook's Logan Weber singed the Court 16 lines at Millbrook Exchange Tennis Center with one sharp shot after another in Wednesday's Cap Eight 4A boys' tennis singles final.
The sharp shots included a brief verbal exchange after Boyden ruled Weber's match point swing "out" in the second-set tiebreaker.
With the score 9-9, Boyden won back-to back points and cemented a 7-5, 2-6 (11-9) win for his second consecutive league crown.
"I really focused on hitting big first serves and using my forehand to attack," Boyden said. "I didn't want to play much defense."
Boyden, a junior and the 2013 N.C. High School Atheltic Association 4A singles runner-up, rallied from an 8-5 tiebreaker deficit. Weber acknowledged his errant forehand volley followed by a missed first serve that whittled his advantage to 9-8.
"Those last two points, he was just really aggressive," Weber said. "He really pushed me back.
"I felt a lot of energy going into the tiebreaker. Of course, I would have preferred a full third (set)."
Boyden commended Weber, a sophomore, for playing a "flawless" second set, including Weber's service break that catalyzed a momentum shift after the first set. Weber downplayed the significance of Boyden's call, and said he should have been able to recover.
"I always think my (shots) are going to go in," Weber said. "But who really knows for sure. He saw it out, and that's the way it was."
Boyden handed Weber his only three losses during the this season. Boyden's lone loss was April 17 against All-American Robert Kelly of Cardinal Gibbons, the reigning NCHSAA 3A champion and a UNC signee. Boyden and Weber could meet again during the Mideast Regional at Middle Creek on May 2-3.
"Ultimately, this was just a fun match," Boyden said of Wednesday.
Wakefield also won the doubles final. Jensen Martin and Phillip Lauture topped teammates Andrew Belonga and Nico Grewe 6-3, 6-3.

I have been asked by the National Forest Service to design new interpretive markers for this famous stage station. The present ones are not correct. Only one of the four graves contains the remains of a Confederate Soldier. The two end graves are those of the three massacred Butterfield employees. Two are in one grave. Also the marker stating that the reason the line was closed was from competition from the Pony Express. This is also not true and will change. The famous Pony Express never existed in Arizona and was never a competition for any stage line. I am also designing a new marker to replace this marker.
Attached is a drawing by Grosvenor who was a passenger on a Butterfield stage in 1860. The drawing shows the graves of the Butterfield employees that were massacred September, 9, 1858.

Adweek: Rolling Stone sales high for 'The Bomber' issue
By Dana Hatic, Boston.com Correspondent
The controversial issue of Rolling Stone featuring alleged Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev performed well on newsstands despite boycotts from retailers and an uproar from critics who accused the magazine of giving the young man a "rock-star" treatment.
|(Courtesy Rolling Stone)
The self-portrait of Tsarnaev used on the cover caused intense reactions, particularly in Boston. Mayor Thomas Menino wrote a letter to Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner, saying the cover "rewards a terrorist with celebrity treatment."
Governor Deval Patrick also expressed disappointment with the cover, as did Richard Donohue, an MBTA transit officer who was injured in the shootout with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his brother, Tamerlan, on April 18.
The same photo appeared on the front page of The New York Times on May 5, alongside the headline "The Dark Side, Carefully Masked".
Rolling Stone editors released a statement atop the online version of the story, "Jahar's World", saying the cover fell "within the traditions of journalism and Rolling Stone's long-standing commitment to serious and thoughtful coverage" of important issues.
Twitter users reacted to news of magazine sales doubling:

The phenomenon is familiar: if you run an electric current through a wire, the wire heats up. Known as "Joule heating" (for James Joule, the physicist-brewer who quantified it in the 19th century), the cause is usually very simple: the electrons carrying the current transfer some of their energy to the atoms in the wire, and the increased vibration of the atoms is measured as a rise in temperature. While it's very useful in some applications, Joule heating can often be a problem, especially in electronic devices like computer processors, where excess thermal energy can cook the chips.
A new experiment performed at the University of Maryland has produced Joule heating where the current is separated from the heat. Kamal H. Baloch, Norvik Voskanian, Merijntje Bronsgeest, and John Cumings determined that a current flowing in a carbon nanotube can transfer thermal energy into the material the tube is sitting on, a process they dub "remote Joule heating." In other words, there is a separation between the electric flow—confined to the nanotube—and increased heat, which ends up in the substrate, even though it carries no current. Using electron thermal microscopy, the researchers determined that as much as 84 percent of the power in the nanotube was transferred to the substrate, pointing to a possible new way to manage excess heat in electronics.
In nanoscale materials, it's challenging to determine exactly where heat is dissipating. Specifically, if you have a material measured in micrometers (millionths of meters), then the material is roughly the same size as infrared wavelengths, which means ordinary thermal imaging is not available. To solve this problem, the researchers used electron thermal microscopy (EThM), which scatters electrons off blobs of indium, a metal with a relatively low melting point. The indium's response to the electrons is different when it is liquid or solid, making its melting a sensitive indicator of temperature.
Baloch et al. constructed two similar devices to probe remote Joule heating. In the first, a nanotube was connected by both ends to palladium electrodes, so that current could flow the entire length of the tube. In the second, the electrodes were placed such that current only flowed through a short length of the nanotube. In both cases, the system sat on a substrate of silicon nitride (SiN) that also hosted a number of tiny blobs of indium.
By monitoring which blobs melted and which remained solid, they obtained a detailed thermal map revealing exactly where the heat was dissipating. If the system underwent normal Joule heating, the indium blobs around the nanotubes and electrodes should melt first. Instead, the researchers discovered that temperatures peaked at the center of the full-length nanotube; the palladium electrodes' temperature barely budged. Palladium, being a metal, is highly responsive to changes in temperature, so if the nanotube is hot, the palladium electrodes should also heat—yet this didn't happen.
When the current only ran through part of the nanotube (the second setup), ordinary Joule heating should increase the temperature of the entire tube. Instead, the indium only melted near the current-carrying portion, indicating that the nanotube itself wasn't heating up. Nanotubes are highly heat-conductive, so if one part is heated, the whole tube should rapidly reach the same temperature.
Both of these experiments demonstrated that the substrate was heating, but the nanotube and the electrodes were not. Since the nanotube wasn't in direct contact with the substrate, ordinary Joule heating cannot explain the phenomenon—the electrons in the current are not directly interacting with the atoms that undergo thermal vibrations. Instead, the researchers postulate that the electrons are passing the energy along via their electric field.
Since carbon nanotubes are capable of carrying very high density currents, Baloch et al. suspect this kind of remote heat dissipation could be very useful in future electronic devices. If the current-carrying parts of a device can transfer the thermal energy to a separate device, it should be possible to quickly dump heat that might otherwise damage the chip.

Exploring The Rock Field
You've seen the list of nominees, now take a closer look at the artists nominated in the Rock Field for the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards.
The list of nominees in the Rock Field seems even more eclectic than usual, with bands representing the broadest range of rock subgenres to date, including funk, folk and progressive rock, punk/emo, alt-country, electronica, Americana, and heavy metal. There's even a classic rock stalwart: British guitar virtuoso and eight-time GRAMMY winner Jeff Beck. And there's plenty of new blood represented in the field, with folky upstarts Mumford & Sons and the Decemberists squaring off against heavy metal renegades Mastodon and GRAMMY-winning crowd-pleasers such as Coldplay, Foo Fighters and Radiohead.
Best Rock Performance
A resurgence of folk rock is reflected in the nominations for Mumford & Sons' "The Cave" and the Decemberists' Dylanesque "Down By The Water." Mumford & Sons earned their first GRAMMY nominations in 2010 for Best New Artist and Best Rock Song for "Little Lion Man," while the Decemberists are making their GRAMMY debut. Alternative rockers Radiohead return to the nominees circle with their snake-charming dance track "Lotus Flower," while GRAMMY winners Foo Fighters make the competition stiffer with their introspective rocker "Walk." Rounding out the category are GRAMMY winners Coldplay, whose rousing single "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall" introduced their latest album Mylo Xyloto.
Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance
Living up to the title of their 2011 album, A Dramatic Turn Of Events, East Coast progressive metal stalwarts Dream Theater earned their first GRAMMY nomination for their track "On The Backs Of Angels." Also making their first GRAMMY bow is Sum 41 for their hellfire love song "Blood In My Eyes." Atlanta-based heavy metalists Mastodon scored their second career GRAMMY nomination for their bottom-heavy rocker "Curl Of The Burl." The band earned their first nomination in 2006 for Best Metal Performance for "Colony Of Birchmen." Six-time GRAMMY winners Foo Fighters are nominated for their punk-influenced track "White Limo," while thrash metal pioneers Megadeth rack up their 10th career nomination for their tooth-gnashing ode to corruption, "Public Enemy No. 1."
Best Rock Song
In the Best Rock Song category the competition is a virtual clone of the Best Rock Performance race. The category finds folk-rockers Mumford & Sons and the Decemberists hoping to stake claims on their first GRAMMY for "The Cave" (written by band members Ted Dwane, Ben Lovett, Marcus Mumford, and Country Winston) and "Down By The Water" (penned by frontman Colin Meloy), respectively. Foo Fighters hope to stroll off with yet another trophy for their group-penned "Walk," while seven-time GRAMMY winners Coldplay look to add to their GRAMMY collection for their appropriately torrential single "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall," co-written by bandmates Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion, and Chris Martin. Three-time GRAMMY winners Radiohead are up for their mysterious dance track "Lotus Flower," co-written by the band's Colin Greenwood, Jonny Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Phil Selway, and Thom Yorke.
Best Rock Album
Pitting a classic rocker against his disciples, the Best Rock Album contest finds influential British guitarist Jeff Beck competing for his ninth GRAMMY with his '50s-styled album, Rock 'N' Roll Party Honoring Les Paul. Newfangled Southern rockers Kings Of Leon are looking to lock down their fourth GRAMMY win for their acclaimed 2010 album, Come Around Sundown. Multiple nominees Foo Fighters snagged yet another nod for Wasting Light, which is also an Album Of The Year contender, while funk-rock trailblazers the Red Hot Chili Peppers are up for their latest album, I'm With You. Looking to earn their second GRAMMY win is the ever unclassifiable Wilco, who capture a nomination for their delectably experimental 2011 masterwork, The Whole Love.
Who will take home the awards in the Rock Field categories? Tune in to the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards on Feb. 12, taking place at Staples Center in Los Angeles and airing live on CBS from 8–11:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

Walker to run unaffiliated in 2014 election
Current administration giving away too much candidate tell reporters
Former Valdez mayor Bill Walker announced Thursday that he will run as an unaffiliated candidate in the 2014 race for governor of Alaska.
Walker ran as a Republican in the 2010 primaries against incumbent Sean Parnell, netting over 30 percent of the vote but falling short of receiving that all important nomination on the ballot. By running as an unaffiliated candidate, Walker avoids a primary race against Parnell, whose campaign enjoys the backing of the state's powerful Republican Party, along with the support of many of the deep pockets of the state's oil interests.
In an interview Monday, Walker wasted no time in criticizing Parnell.
"I just think we need a governor with some leadership and some vision," he said. "He's just giving away too many things."
Walker was referring to the controversial passage of legislation passed at the urging of Parnell that reduces oil taxes by several billion dollars over the course of several years that contained no language requiring oil producers reinvest in Alaska for the generous tax break.
Which led Walker to talk about another area of concern: energy costs in rural Alaska.
"The cost of energy is just ridiculous," he said. "We need more access to our resources."
Walker, who is also currently the city attorney for the City of Valdez, is also legal council to the Alaska Gasline Port Authority, the municipal organization that was created by voters to build – or cause to be built – a natural gas pipeline from the North Slope to Valdez.
Walker held a press conference Thursday in Anchorage to make the announcement that he will run unaffiliated. . He must gather the required 3,017 signatures to qualify to have his name on the 2014 ballot the November general election ballot according to the Associated Press.
Walker has increased his name recognition since his first shot at elected statewide office against Parnell. Since then, he has become host of his own Anchorage-produced TV show, made a name for himself in the worldwide oil industry and appears before the state legislature to add his considerable knowledge on important energy issues.
At last week's press conference, Walker was joined by the president of the Alaska AFL-CIO, Vince Beltrami, and Debra Holle Brown, a former state GOP chairwoman.
At the conference, Walker called himself an ``old-school Republican'' in the mold of the late former Govs. Wally Hickel and Jay Hammond. He said running as an independent - something he said he'd been encouraged to do - just felt right.
The Associated Press reports he said he wants to fight for Alaska without limitations.
``It's a better fit,'' he said.
Walker now resides in Anchorage but returns to Valdez frequently, as he is the city attorney for Valdez.
In the upcoming municipal elections in Valdez, the number of potential candidates for two expiring city council seats and two on the board of education are slim.
As of Monday, James "Hotai" Williams and David Lyle are the only two candidates that have returned competed petitions to have their names on the 2013 ballot.
Terms are for two years and hopefuls for city council and the board of education must return nominating petitions to the city clerk's office – complete with the signatures of 25 voters registered in Valdez – to have their names printed on the ballot.
Longtime councilwoman Dorothy Moore announced Monday that she will not seek reelection this year. Councilman Mike Wells, whose term expires this October, has taken out a petition from the City Clerk's office but had not returned the completed petition as Monday.
On the board of education side, current board president Steve Brockman had taken out a petition to run again, but had not returned it as of Monday. New coming Jessica Vincent has taken out a petition but likewise, had not returned hers before the Valdez Star went to press.
Terms for city council are for two years and seats on the board of education run three years.

Most people know what basic information to include in a good obituary: birth and death dates, cause of death, education, career, passions and hobbies, personality traits, unusual skills or interests.

Modern Hebrew prose in the Land of Israel was first written by immigrant authors. Although their roots were anchored in the world and traditions of East European Jewry, their works dealt primarily with the creative achievements in the Land of Israel to which they had come, in the words of the Zionist motto, "to build and be built by it."
Note: All links to author information are to the website of the Institute for the Translation of Hebrew Literature.
Yosef Haim Brenner (1881-1921) and Shmuel Yosef Agnon (1888-1970), who propelled Hebrew prose into the 20th century, are considered by many to be the fathers of modern Hebrew literature.
In his endeavor to capture reality, Brenner favored the rabbinical and medieval forms of spoken Hebrew, creating new idioms and employing dramatic syntax to give the effect of living speech. Central to Brenner's works is his identification with both the physical struggle of the pioneers for a toehold in an arid, harsh land, very different from the European countries where they were born, and the struggle, no less difficult, to shape the identity of the Jew in the Land of Israel.
Agnon chose to use more modern forms of the Hebrew language in his works. His familiarity with Jewish tradition, together with the influence of 19th and early 20th century European literature, gave rise to a body of fiction dealing with major contemporary spiritual concerns, the disintegration of traditional ways of life, the loss of faith, and the subsequent loss of identity. An Orthodox Jew and a writer of intuition and psychological insight, Agnon expressed an affinity for the shadowy and irrational sides of the human psyche and an identification with the inner uncertainties of the believing and non-believing Jew. Reality, as depicted by Agnon, exudes a tragic, at times grotesque ambience, with war and the Holocaust influencing much of his work, and the world of pious Jews revealed with all its passions and tensions. In 1966, Agnon was co-recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature (together with Nelly Sachs).
Native-born writers, who began publishing in the 1940s and 1950s, and are often referred to as 'the War of Independence Generation,' brought to their work a different mentality and cultural background from that of their predecessors, primarily because Hebrew was their mother tongue and their life experience was fully rooted in the Land of Israel. Authors such as S. Yizhar, Moshe Shamir, Hanoch Bartov, Haim Gouri and Benjamin Tammuz vacillated dramatically between individualism and commitment to society and state, and presented a model of social realism, often in the heroic mode, featuring a blend of local and international influences.
In the early 1960s, new approaches in Hebrew prose writing were explored by a group of younger and very influential writers, including A.B. Yehoshua, Amos Oz, Yoram Kaniuk and Yaakov Shabtai, marking a break from ideological patterns and focusing on the world of the individual.
During the next two decades, experimentation with narrative forms and various prose writing styles, including psychological realism, allegory and symbolism, as well as speculation and skepticism regarding Israel's political and social conventions, featured prominently in contemporary writing.
The 1980s and 1990s witnessed a burst of intense literary activity in which the number of books published increased dramatically. Concurrently, several Israeli writers achieved international recognition, notably Oz, Yehoshua, Kaniuk, Aharon Appelfeld, David Shahar, David Grossman and Meir Shalev. A belief in literature as a means of enabling readers to understand themselves as individuals and as part of their environment characterizes the prose of this period, written by three generations of contemporary authors. Many of these writers also address the political and moral dilemmas of contemporary life in Israel, notably Oz, Grossman, and Shalev.
Renewed efforts to cope with the tragedy of the European Holocaust have brought about the formulation of fresh modes of expression to treat fundamental questions which can be discussed only within the perspective of time and place, integrating distance with involvement (Appelfeld, Grossman, Yehoshua Kenaz, Alexander and Yonat Sened, Nava Semel, and others). Grossman's "See Under: Love", related partially from the perspective of a young boy, Momik, who sees the aftermath of the Holocaust unfold within his immigrant family, is perhaps the best known example.
Previously unprobed themes have also been introduced, including the milieu of the Arab village (Anton Shammas, an Arab-Christian writer, and Sayed Kashua, an Israeli-Arab journalist and writer) the world of ultra-Orthodox Jews who deliberately segregate themselves from modern society (Yossl Birstein), the way of life in Jerusalem's Hassidic courts (Haim Be'er) and attempts to deal with the existence of the unbeliever in a period when secular ideologies are collapsing and religious fundamentalism is gaining strength (Yitzhak Orpaz-Auerbach).
Another important topic which some Israeli authors, themselves of Sephardic background, are addressing is the place in society of alienated new immigrants from Arab countries (Sami Michael, Albert Suissa, Dan Benaya Seri). Others explore universal themes such as democracy and righteousness as seen in the context of a society which is subject to constant challenges in most areas of its national life (Yitzhak Ben-Ner, Kaniuk, Grossman, Oz).
A number of major women authors have come to the fore, writing not only on general topics but also dealing with the world of women aware of their place in Jewish tradition and their role in the Zionist enterprise (Amalia Kahana-Carmon, Chana Bat-Shahar, Shulamit Hareven, Shulamit Lapid, Ruth Almog, Savion Liebrecht, Batya Gur). Lapid and Gur have also entered the genre of detective fiction to critical acclaim, both in Israel and in translation abroad.
Recently a younger generation of writers, who reject much of the centrality of the Israeli experience and reflect a more universalistic trend – often of an alienated, deeply surreal and idiosyncratic nature – has emerged. Some of these writers (Yehudit Katzir, Etgar Keret, Orly Castel-Blum, Gadi Taub, Irit Linor, Mira Magen) enjoy almost cult followings, and their new books are assured a place at the top of the bestseller lists both here and, in some cases, abroad. In recent years, Keret has been a firm favorite among European readers, with a number of his short story collections, among them "Missing Kissinger", winning prestigious literary awards.
In addition to the prolific body of Hebrew literature, a significant amount of writing, both prose and poetry, appears in other languages, including Arabic, English, and French. Since the immigration of over one million Jews from the former Soviet Union, Israel has become the largest center of literary creativity in the Russian language outside Russia itself.
During the last few years, Israeli publishers have entered the field of electronic publishing in a massive way. Covering a wide range of topics, Israeli programs are being marketed worldwide.
Written without interruption from biblical times to the present, Hebrew poetry embodies external influences and internal traditions. The poetry of the past, which incorporates religious and national themes, also contains motifs of personal experience which are predominant in the poetry of today.
A break with traditional poetic expression developed during the Jewish Enlightenment in Europe (1781-1881), when full citizenship for Jews and secularization of Jewish life were advocated, and from the late 19th century when Zionism, the movement calling for the restoration of Jewish national life in the Land of Israel, began to gain momentum. The major poets to emerge from this period, who themselves immigrated to Palestine early in the 20th century, were Haim Nahman Bialik (1873-1934) and Saul Tchernichovsky (1875-1943).
Bialik's works, which reflect his commitment to the Jewish national renaissance and reject the viability of Jewish life in Eastern Europe, include both long epic poems recapitulating chapters in Jewish history as well as pure lyrical poetry dealing with love and nature. Bialik, often referred to as the 'national poet' or 'the poet of the Hebrew Renaissance,' forged a new poetic idiom, free of the overwhelming biblical influence of his predecessors, while maintaining classical structure and clarity of expression through rich, learned but contemporary phrasing. His poems, some of which were written specifically for very young children, are memorized by generations of Israeli pupils.
Tchernichovsky, who wrote lyric poetry, dramatic epics, ballads, and allegories, sought to rectify the world of the Jew by injecting a spirit of personal pride and dignity as well as a heightened awareness of nature and beauty. His sense of language, which embodied an affinity for rabbinical Hebrew, was different from Bialik's idiom which integrated the biblical influence with the emerging conversational mode. Both Bialik and Tchernichovsky represent the transition from ancient Jewish poetry to the modern genre.
Avraham Shlonsky, Natan Alterman, Lea Goldberg, and Uri Zvi Greenberg headed the next generation of poets, who wrote in the years which preceded the establishment of the state and during the early years of statehood.
Shlonsky utilized a flood of images along with linguistic inventions in his poetry as well as in his prolific translations of classical poetry, especially from Russian. Alterman's works, many of which are noted for their political commentary, accompanied every stage of the development of the Jewish community and are characterized by richness of language and a variety of poetic forms, tone and rhyme, imagery and metaphor.
Goldberg expanded the spectrum of lyricism in poems which speak of the city, nature and the human being in search of love, contact and attention. Greenberg, who wrote a poetry of despair and rage using fierce imagery and stylistic power, dealt mainly with nationalistic themes and the impact of the Holocaust. This group of poets was the first to introduce the rhythms of everyday speech into Hebrew poetry. They revived old idioms and coined new ones, giving the ancient language a new flexibility and richness.
The poetry of this period, which was greatly influenced by Russian futurism and symbolism as well as by German expressionism, tended towards the classical structure and melodicism of ordered rhyming. It reflected images and landscapes of the poets' country of birth and fresh visions of their new country in a heroic mode, as well as memories from 'there' and the desire to sink roots 'here,' expressing, as Lea Goldberg wrote, "the pain of two homelands." Many of the poems were set to music and became an integral part of the country's national lore.
The first major woman poet in Hebrew was Rahel Bluwstein (1890-1931), who is known simply as "Rahel." Her works established the normative foundation of women's Hebrew poetry as well as the public's expectations of this poetry. Its lyrical, short, emotional, intellectually unpretentious, and personal style has prevailed, as seen in most of the works of her contemporaries and of later poets such as Dalia Ravikovitch and Maya Bejerano.
In the mid-1950s, a new group of younger poets emerged, with Hebrew as their mother tongue, headed by Yehuda Amichai, Natan Zach, Dan Pagis, T. Carmi and David Avidan. This group, tending towards understatement, a general retreat from collective experiences, free observation of reality and a colloquial style, shifted the main poetic influences from Pushkin and Schiller to modern English and American poetry. The works of Amichai, who has been extensively translated, are marked by his use of daily speech, irony and metaphysical metaphors. These became the hallmarks of much of the poetry written by his younger contemporaries, who proclaimed the end of ideological poetry and broke completely with the Alterman-Shlonsky tradition of classical structures and ordered rhyming. Zach's works elicit innovative near-liturgical and musical qualities from everyday spoken Hebrew.

The field of Hebrew poetry today is a polyphony comprised of several generations, placing writers in their twenties together with poets of middle age. Representative of the latter group are Meir Wieseltier, whose prosaic, slangy and direct diction repudiates all romanticism and elevates the image of Tel Aviv as the symbol of reality; Yair Horowitz, whose restrained verses express the gentle sadness of one aware of his own mortality; and Yona Wallach, who presents herself in colloquial, sarcastic tones, using archetypal and religious motifs, Freudian symbolism, sometimes brutal sensuality, rhythmic repetitions, and long strings of associations. Other major contemporary poets include Asher Reich, Arieh Sivan, Ronny Someck and Moshe Dor.
The poetry of the most recent generation is dominated by individualism and perplexity, and tends towards short poems written in colloquial diction, non-rhymed free rhythm. Examples of this kind of work can be found in the poems of Transylvanian-born poet Agi Mishol. Poetry in Israel has a large and loyal readership and some volumes of poems, of all periods, are sold in editions as large as those published in much more populous Western countries.
Snow on the mountains
Above the High Places
and above Jerusalem.
and return my child to me.
and return my child to me.
come winds
come floods in the harbors
and return my child to me.
Thin stalk in the stream,
Stringy desert bushes,
return my child to me
as the soul returns to the body
when the eyes open.
Children's literature, which includes original texts as well as translations of classics from many languages, integrates a wide variety of topics and prose styles, reflecting a world trend towards a more direct and sophisticated approach to language and intellectual content in writing sensitivity as well as by an expressive and picturesque use of language, enabling the young reader to identify with the substance of the writing in a dynamic way.
Motivating open inquiry and encouraging independent thinking have become basic elements in contemporary writing for children. While themes of social and national significance are still important, they are now treated with greater sincerity and openness. Some current books aim at negating stereotypes in the country's diversified society and deal with the immigration of Jews from many parts of the world, while others feature historical works and biographies which focus primarily on prominent figures who contributed to the development of the country over the last century, beginning with the renewal of Jewish life in the Land of Israel.
Since the late 1960s, children's literature has largely portrayed the world of the children themselves, dealing with topics such as death, divorce, single-parent families, handicaps, adolescence, and the struggle for one's place in the family and society. At the same time, many imaginative children's books and stories were also written, providing young readers with pure fantasy, entertainment, and escapism.
Israel is also unusual in the number of prize-winning authors who have written for children as well as for adults. Among them are David Grossman ("The Zig Zag Kid," "Itamar Walks on Walls") and Etgar Keret ("Dad Runs Away With The Circus"). Many of these works also blur the line between adult and children's novels. Israeli books for children are now also being published in translation around the world, in a wide variety of languages.

Getting Into Home Tattooing For Fun
Life keeps ticking on, and I haven't been sure how to muster up the will to keep going. No, I'm not being dramatic, I'm not thinking of anything extreme, I'm just a bit bummed. I guess you could say it's a mid-life crisis. I'm not thinking about getting a red convertible, well, I wasn't until I just wrote that, now I am. But it's not the typical feelings and thoughts, at least as portrayed in the movies. And I'm certainly not on the verge of breaking down and destroying civilization as we know it. No, it's more a deep omnipresent feeling that I can't get out of my head, that I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing, but I'm stuck in the current path and I don't really see what direction I should steer myself in. I decided to compromise with my brain, okay, you're not happy, but you can take control of some things. I can at least rebel in a sense in a way that's fairly socially acceptable. I decided to get a tattoo, but I didn't want to just head into a parlor and get any old design on any old part of me, I wanted to do it myself. I wanted the satisfaction of not only getting a tattoo but of learning a new skill. I thought that would make me feel better. I got one of those tattoo kits and tattoo gun that comes with the rest of the necessities for home tattooing. I figured, and correctly, that that would be a heck of a lot easier than piecing together all the things I'd need by myself. It was also easy to get all the stuff, because I was referred to http://www.thelashop.com/ which just had all I needed right there. So that part was extremely easy. I haven't yet given myself the tattoo, but I have been practicing on the practice skins and think I know what I want to do, and where. I can't really share that with the world now, because again, I'm doing this for me.

Last month we spent a few days out in Florida working on a few promotional films for Onblonde (previously featured here), run by an amazing young couple who are full to the brim with inspiration. They have the most beautiful pet spa and shop, but what really blew us away was their farm tucked away from the city, where they board and train dogs. We ate unbelievable meals there every day, mostly picked fresh from their garden. We woke up to birds chirping and a constant breeze through the curtains, not to mention we were constantly surrounded by the most lovable pack of dogs. We felt like we were in heaven!
We hope our films convey even just a hint of how it felt to be in such a beautiful and inspiring environment. We also wouldn't mind feeling a bit of that Florida sun again too!

Dilbert On Happiness
Apr 6 2012
I get my daily Dilbert fix by email and today's Dilbert made me laugh because it's so true of us humans. We judge our happiness by comparing where we are in life to others. We really have no way of telling whether that guy or gal with a big house, great job, fancy car, seemingly perfect kids and marriage, and all the fun money can buy is truly happy. We've seen celebrities, who appear to have it all, implode. We've seen people who have very little material possessions seemingly possess inner peace and calmness (without using illegal substances!).
Happy Good Friday. No matter what your religious beliefs are, the fact that so many humans on this planet celebrate the death and life of a man who lived two thousand years ago means something. None of us alive knew the physical manifestation of Jesus, but the impact he has had on generations is undeniable.
May you find your happiness without having to see pictures of people attacked by bears.

Haters' Dreams Come True as Kim Kardashian's Face Gets a Blood Bath [GRAPHIC VIDEO, PHOTO]
She isn't appearing in an upcoming episode of 'The Walking Dead' or filming a new horror flick, nor was she in any kind of terrible accident. But Kim Kardashian's face did get pretty bloody.
And she did it on purpose. For beauty, or maybe attention. Take your pick.
Regardless, the video and photo here aren't for you if the sight of blood and needles makes you queasy.
So, to understand what's going on here, you have to know that blood facials are a thing. HuffPo talked to a doctor named Sam Lam (who sounds like but isn't a Dr. Seuss character) and here's how he explained them:
"The patient's own platelet rich plasma (PRP) is applied to the skin preceded by a laser treatment and followed by a micro-needling process in which the skin is perforated with near microscopic holes. The growth factors in the platelet rich plasma reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving the skin's tone and texture."
Right after it makes you look like you're attending Stephen King's version of prom, that is.
In yet another exciting episode of 'Kourtney and Kim Take Miami,' Kim hears about the blood facial and she's all over it because, according to her, "I love trying anything that makes you look and feel youthful."
For the procedure, Kim's own blood was removed from her arm with a decent-sized needle, and then spun in a machine that removes the platelets. Finally, the blood was "splattered" on to her face so that the plasma could rejuvenate her skin, as it allegedly does. The fun part is that to do the aforementioned "splattering," the doc used nine tiny acupuncture-like needles to poke her famous face.
There was numbing cream to ease the pain but it didn't seem to help much. Kim may have put on a brave and bloody face (that she of course later posted to Instagram, as is her way), but when those needles went to town, she cried, "Owwww. Oh my God. I will never get a facelift if it feels like that."
Where was this procedure before Joan Rivers first went under the knife?
