Hubbard Interfaith Sanctuary, October 22

This was a reading at the College of St. Rose held in conjunction with a sand mandala being make that week by Lama Karma Chopal. The first flyer I saw about the series of events at the Sanctuary simply said it was a poetry reading, with the theme of the poet as a political voice. A subsequent flyer described it as "a poetry reading open to all." So I wasn't sure if it was an open mic, or what -- but I always have a few poems tucked away in my bag in case a random poetry reading breaks out somewhere.

The evening was hosted by College of St. Rose English professor Barbara Ungar, & most of the participants were students at the college. The half-finished mandala sat in the middle of the simple open space that is the Interfaith Sanctuary. Barbara had brought some poems to get us started & for others to read, but we were free to read our own. She prefaced the reading with comments about growing up in the Nixon era & the relationship of politics & art, then read from Caolyn Forché's masterful anthology, Against Forgetting, poems by Primo Levi, Anna Akhmatova (an excerpt from "Requiem"), and excerpt from Auden's "September 1, 1939," & Gwendolyn Brooks' "To the Boy Who Died in my Alley."

Of course, I had gotten there early, just as the students were arriving, & ended up first on the list (just like the old days of the QE2); I read "Baghdad/Albany," which unfortunately scared one student to a spot further down the list. But Jonathon Drayton rose to the challenge to read his response to a Beyonce song; his poem called "If I were a Man". Samantha Stewart read a poem by someone else (my notes are illegible). This was a first-time reading for Alyson Lyons, reading "The Evolution of the Wind Mill" & her critique on her generation, "Separation."

Dana Cardona read a poem by Rumi & Marisa one by Lucille Clifton. Lauren Ruggerio read one of her own, "Beauty Consumes You." Joan Horgan works at the Sanctuary & read her poem inspired by the experience of a young student who had done political lobbying in Washington, DC. And Dan Henderson reminded us that since "we're all in this together" that Love, "It's All You Need."

A pleasant evening of poetry in a spiritual place, with some fine, young poets. I hope to see them out & about at open mics "downtown." Look for their pictures soon on www.flickr.com/photos/dwlcx.

كثير منا لا يعلم ماهو البروكسي وكيف يتم استخدامها وكيف يتم وضعها وماهو شكلها هل هي أرقام أم أحرف أم أكواد أم ماذا؟ :lol:

لذلك أحببت ان اعمل موضوع بسيط عنها :)

وأحببت أيضا أن أرفق لكم رابط للبحث المبسط الذي قمت بأخذه منه والتعلم منه أيضا.

أولا: [url=http://www.anqam.com/page-proxy.html]البروكسي[/url]: هو عبارة عن مجموعه من الارقام تتكون من 12 الى 9 ارقام تقوم بإستخدام فتحة من منافذ المفتوحه في العالم ويتم استعمالها في التصفح عن طريق هذه الارقام او المنافذ . كمثال: صفحه محظوروتريد تصفحه مثلا سواء في العمل أو في المنزل فلابد من استخدام عنوان مختلف عن رقم او عنوان المستخدم في جهازك حتى تستطيع من التصفح المواقع التي تريدها.

موقع البروكسي او برنامج فاتح البروكسي: هي عبارة عن برامج او مجموعه مخصصه من البرامج التي تقوم بمهمه واحده وهي التحويل عنوانك الاصلي واستخدام عنوان وهمي خاص بدولة أخرى بكل بساطه وسهوله بدون الحاجه الى البحث عن ارقام البروكسي وغيرها

فوائدها: فتح المواقع التي تكون محجوبه في بعض الاماكن مثل مواقع فيسبوك و نتلوق وتويتر وغيرها و بعض من المواقع الهادفه التي تم حجبها بمحض الخطأ.

مضارها: استخدامها في اخفاء [url=http://www.anqam.com/page-proxy.html]بروكسي[/url] وفتح المواقع المحرمه عن طريقها. لذلك لابد من وجود العقل والحكمه في استخدام مثل هذه الملفات او البروكسيهات

بعض البرامج المتخصصه في هذا المجال: برنامج هايد اي بي وغيرها [url=http://www.anqam.com/page-proxy.html]فتح المواقع المحجوبه[/url]. :oops:

ان شاء الله يفيدكم وتعبت فيه لاني قعدت اخترع [url=http://www.anqam.com/anqam-11849.html][img]http://www.anqam.com/proxy-fnm;sdhj.gif[/img][/url]

شكرا لكم.
