Vozi Misko - Napadnut Mladen Pavic

GLASNOGOVORNIK Jadranke Kosor Mladen Pavić u Vukovarskoj aveniji imao je bliski susret s prosvjednicima. Pavić je zapeo u koloni koja se stvorila kad su prosvjednici krenuli u marš prema HRT-u. Nekoliko prosvjednika ga je prepoznalo, te su mu lupali i pljuvali po autu.
"Nisam se bojao", kazao je Pavić, koji je događaj prepričao u razgovoru za Index. "Vraćao sam se kući s posla i sasvim slučajno se našao u Vukovarskoj ulici dok su prolazili prosvjednici", kaže Pavić. Glasnogovornika Vlade u koloni automobila najprije je prepoznala jedna starija gospođa.
"Počeo sam razgovarati s njom, bila je jako fina i kulturna", kaže Pavić kojem se starija prosvjednica pojadala zbog teške životne situacije koja ju je natjerala da izađe na ulice. "Dok sam razgovarao s njom, prepoznali su me još neki mlađi prosvjednici. Pljuvali su mi po autu, osjetio sam nekoliko udaraca u automobil, ali ne znam jesu li udarali rukama i nogama ili je bila bačena i kakva boca", kaže nam Pavić.
Glasnogovornik Vlade tvrdi da prosvjednici nisu udarali samo njegov automobil, već su lupali i ostale automobile koji su zapeli u koloni u Vukovarskoj. "Starija gospođa s kojom sam razgovarao tada mi je rekla da je bolje da odem, kako ne bi bilo još većih problema. Također se ogradila od tih mlađih prosvjednika koji su udarali po automobilima, nije joj se svidjelo njihovo ponašanje", rekao je Pavić zaključivši da je sve ipak prošlo bez znatnijih incidenata.

Rade Serbedzija & Kemal Monteno - Kud plovi ovaj brod - Split Festival 2010

Kud plovi ovaj brod
koji ljude odnosi?
I da li itko zna
što more sprema?
Kud vodi ovaj put
kojim smo krenuli?
Od svega samo znam:
povratka nema!
Na moru ljubavi
i na pučini sna
u plavu beskraju
uvijek ostat ću ja!

Kud plovi ovaj brod
što srce odnosi?
Taj put je tako dug,
a luka nema.
Na moru ljubavi...
Kud plovi ovaj brod
što srce odnosi,
taj put je tako dug,
a luka nema.

Šarenilom od izvedbi i izvođača okončana je sinoćnja prva večer jubilarnog, 50. „Splitskog festivala“ naziva „Poznati pjevaju“ tijekom koje su se na pozornici izmjenjivali pjevači, političari, sportaši, glumci i novinari izvodivši najpoznatije skladbe iz duge glazbene povijesti Prokurativa.
Premda je splitski gradonačelnik Željko Kerum u posljednji trenutak otkazao nastup s pjesmom Dina Dvornika „Ništa kontra Splita“ obraz Grada osvjetlao je njegov zamjenik Jure Šundov zapjevavši „Kome bi šumilo more moje sinje“ uz potporu Tea Brajčića.
Šundov je zaradio gromoglasan aplauz, baš kao i nogometaš Ivica Hlevnjak u duetu s Matkom Jelavićem, Kemal Monteno s Radom Šerbedžijom, Niko Bulić s Đanijem Stipaničevom, Band Radio Dalmacija, Ivica Čikeš...
Sa svojim se „Galebom“ izborio i političar Ante Prkačin zaradivši od publike pljesak za hrabrost, dok se Mladen Grdović u veselom, inače redovnom festivalskom izdanju, spustio u gledalište, a potom nakon nastupa davao nepovezane izjave gomili novinara.
Požalivši se sedmoj sili kako je pod tabletama zbog bolnog koljena i kako ga čeka operacija meniskusa (za to vrijeme ga je pridržavao jedan od djelatnika u organizaciji) Grdović se usput tužio i kako ga progone mediji, govorio kako je romantična duša, na provokativna pitanja o ljubavnom životu uzvraćao kako ima ljubavnicu...
Večer nije počela planiranim nastupom Tereze Kesovije i njezinom „Nima Splita do Splita“ jer je vozač iz organizacije naprosto zaboravio otići po pjevačicu u hotel. Tereza je pokudila organizaciju, ali ne i direktora Nenadu Ninčeviću opisavši ga kao velikog šarmera koji ima puno prečih obveza od vođenja brige o njezinom prijevozu.
Stoga je temperamentna miljenica splitske publike oraspoložila gledalište na rasplesanim Prokurativama kao posljednja u nizu umjesto splitskog gradonačelnika koji je trebao nastupiti uz vokalnu potporu Marka Pecotića, člana klape „Iskon“.
Želko ima upalu grla... Bila bi to lakrdija od nastupa s obzirom na stanje njegova grla. Nismo se htjeli osramotiti – kazao nam je Pecotić potvrdivši kako je preksinoć ipak odradio probu s gradonačelnikom, premda se obojica nisu pojavili na službenom pokusu s orkestrom na Prokurativama.
Željkova je proba na Prokurativama bila najavljena u 1 i 30 iza ponoći što nismo mogli čekati jer je gradonačelnik rano ujutro imao obveze, pa sam mu glazbu iste večeri pustio s mog prijenosnog računala. Stoput smo do sada otpjevali taj refren „Ništa kontra Splita“, ali nikad nije zvučao gore negoli preksinoć. Vjerojatno ima polipe – ukazao je Pecotić na potencijalnu gradonačelnikovu dijagnozu slikovito dodavši „Bože mi prosti, zvuči kao Nadan Vidošević“.
Otvorenje jubilarnog „Splita“ tako je ostalo bez Dvornikovog hita „Ništa kontra Splita“, jer je uz gradonačelnika odustao i Pecotić („isjekao sam prst, pa mi se inficirala rana“) što nije nimalo uzrujalo njegova direktora Nenu Ninčevića. Barem se tako trudio zvučati odgovarajući na upit je li mu žao što na Prokurativama neće zapjevati gradonačelnik.
Žao mi je što se tiče spektakla, a što se tiče glazbe, to se sigurno ne može okarakterizirati kao nenadoknadiv gubitak – komentirao je Ninčević ističući kako je upravo i slagao program večeri „Poznati pjevaju“ vodeći računa kako će pojedini izvođači koji nisu glazbenici, poput Keruma i Cice Kranjčara, odustati u posljednji trenutak.

Old Ethno Song

Ojkavica is a type of singing from Dalmatian Zagora (Croatia) . It is characterized by a lone singer singing one line of lyrics and then others joining in for what can be best described as a wail. It is a very passionate form of singing, which is one of the reasons it has been limited in popularity to small towns.

Pjesma za stradale vatrogasce: OVO NIJE KRAJ

Iza duge srest ću te ja
Jer nebo vidi, nebo sve zna
Čuva mjesto za bolje od svih
Dal sam i ja jedan od njih

Iza suza još sunce sja
Svijetlo djeli dobro od zla
Sto oluja, pobjeda sto
Dal sam i ja rođen za to

Kroz sve moje dane i godine
Samo srce imam da vodi me
I u mraku sam, vjerujem i znam...

Ovo nije kraj
Gore pogledaj
Tamo piše drugo ime
Hrabrosti

Ovo nije kraj
Zadnji zagrljaj
Sve dok za vas gore svijeće ljubavi

Sva je tuga svijeta u meni
A ja nedam da me pobjedi

Toma Bebic - Leute Moj

Dogodilo se to jednoga dana u misecu,
tamo neke teške godine,
osta si sam,
napušten brod,
leute moj.

Rastočija si se
ka barilo,
leute moj.
I mriža je sagnjila,
leute moj,
osta si sam,
napušten brod.

Suze su nestale
iz tila tvog,
leute moj.
A sićanja naviru,
leute moj,
osta si sam,
tužan i tih.

Brodovi su isti ka i ljudi
zlu moru daju život svoj.
(Za tobom umiru.)
Brodovi su isti ka i ljudi
za suzu daju suze dvi.
(Za tobom umiru.)

Dogodilo se to jednoga dana u misecu,
tamo neke teške godine,

Blanka Vlasic - World Champion

Sve o Blanki Vlašić

When she knew she had won, Blanka Vlasic decided there was still a treat or two in store for the crowd. She would attempt to break the High Jump world record, but first cam a little dance from the first World champion from Croatia.

She stood by the side of the mat and she jigged one way, and then the other. The spectators celebrated – and she waved and danced away more.

“I wanted to win this gold medal so much,” said Vlasic, 23, from Split. “Now I am in a state of shock.”

The unleashing of these emotions after she had been the only athlete to clear 2.05m brought confirmation of what the sport knew about her.

In 2002, in Santiago, Chile, and two years later in Kingston, Jamaica, Vlasic won gold at the IAAF World Junior Championships, one of the best bases for success as a senior.

It put her third on the all-time list behind Kostandinova and her fellow Bulgarian Lyudmila Andonova and if she does break the World record, we now know what to expect.

“In every competition, I actually have a different dance," she said. "It gives positive energy to people in the crowd. You need to spice it up.”

Nikola Tesla biography (7 videos)

Nikola Tesla was born in Smiljan on July 10th 1856, a little village near Gospić in Lika, Croatia. Their family name was not always Tesla. It had been Draganić, surname Tesla was given to them afterwards. Namely, allegedly one of Nikola's ancestors had extremely big front teeth that resembled carpenter tools ("Tesarski" alat) so he got the nickname "Tesla" after it.
Nikola grew up in a land-tilling environment. In those days Lika was one of the most underdeveloped and isolated regions of the Hapsburg Monarchy. Illiteracy, lack of education were characteristics of a whole southeast part of the Monarchy. Apart from that, up to 1881 Lika was included in Military Border so the life in the that region was far harder and more cruel than the life in the civil part of Croatia.
Up to age of ten, there was no possibility for Nikola to see the locomotive let alone to find out anything about the world technical achievements. One of the earliest events that Tesla remembered was that when he had been locked in a little mountain church. At the age of five Nikola would take a walk on Velebit, which towered above his home village...

Dinamo - Werder 2:3

Spot-on Bremen keep Dinamo at bay
Werder Bremen held their nerve to book a return to the UEFA Champions League group stage with an exciting 5-3 aggregate triumph though they were pushed all the way at the Maksimir Stadium by a determined NK Dinamo Zagreb outfit.

Diego spot-kicks
Coming into the game with a precarious 2-1 lead after the first encounter in Germany, Bremen enjoyed a dream start when Diego converted a 13th-minute penalty. Yet Ognjen Vukojević capitalised on a defensive error to reduce the Croatian side's overall deficit and it set the tone for the evening as the visitors struggled to put the tie beyond reach. Boubacar Sanogo restored their two-goal aggregate advantage, then Luka Modrić hit back from the spot for the home team before Diego scored yet another penalty midway through the half to finally settle the tie.

Vukojević strike
Diego had proved equally efficient 57 minutes earlier when he neatly slotted in from eleven metres after Hugo Almeida had elicited a foul in the middle of a crowded Dinamo box. It temporarily silenced the majority of the 40,000 crowd, but they regained their voice eight minutes later when Vukojević pounced on a loose pass from Frank Baumann and fired in courtesy of a deflection off the former Germany international. Yet that goal came against the run of play and Bremen quickly regained their composure and then, six minutes before the interval, the lead.

Sanogo effort
Hugo Almeida worked space for a powerful effort from the left that German goalkeeper Georg Koch could only parry into the path of Sanogo, who made no mistake. It left the home side needing to score three times to win through to the group stage, and although Modrić pulled one back after Boško Balaban had been brought down, Diego restored Bremen's lead on the night with 20 minutes remaining after Etto was fouled to finally extinguish home hopes.

Vessel Marathon - Neretva River, Croatia

Vessel Marathon (Maraton ladja) is an amateur, sporting competition which involves the racing of ladje (vessels native to the Lower Neretva River which flows throughthe Republic of Croatia). It is held annually on the second Saturday in August, on a course 22.5 km long, under the direct patronage of the President of the Republic of Croatia.
Ladje were used by the old Neretva pirates of yesteryear, who terrorised these parts in the 10th century. With the modernization of life, ladje have almost become technologically redundant, and as a result became a relic. In many cases they could be found ruined and 'shipwrecked', half submerged in various parts of the many tributaries.

So as to preserve the significance and history of the ladje, in 1998 the very first race involving these relics from the past was organized from Metkovic to Ploce. At the start of the inaugural race, there were a total of 18 local crews. It so captured the imagination of the locals that with each year a new record number of entries is received. As for the old half-ruined ladje lying peacefully in the rivers, they were awaken from their slumber and repaired to live another day in the following year's race.

Since the old ladje were all of different dimensions, and so that all competitors would race in vessels of the same size, in 2004 new custom-made ladje were built, which would be used specifically for the Maraton ladje.
Each rowing crew consists of 10 rowers, a drummer and a cox, or oarsmen. There can be a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 18 persons in each squad. Anyone who is willing may form part of the crew: men, women, children.
The competing ladja must be wooden, comprise a traditional shape and must meet the official competition rules as far as actual dimensions are concerned. That is, the length must be between 7 and 8.2 meters, the width between 2.45 and 2.8 meters, the depth is 70cm, with 23 spokes or wooden rods. The actual oars themselves must also be made of wood

A Capella - Klapa Neverin (8 songs)

Klapa Neverin is a woman "a cappela" band from Kastel Luksic.

So called Dalmatian "klapa" songs are at the core of dalmatian music. "Klapa" in Dalmatian dialect means company or group, while in musical terms it refers to five-to-eight member ensembles. Traditionally, the ensemble consists only of male voices, but nowadays we witness the emergence of many mixed and female ensembles with a varying number of members.

Nevertheless, its basic characteristic and distinction are, and remain, solely vocal harmony-singing, only rarely discreetly and quietly accompanied by instruments. Part-singing, usually in four parts, is originally spontaneous, performed by the ear and not by following note recordings, so harmonization is simple. A low-pitched accompaniment is stressed by a larger number of singers, giving the songs a more intimate atmosphere.

Klapa songs have slow, free rhythm and are often without any measure mark (libero). Sometimes it even includes complex measures. The songs are usually quite serenade-like love songs, usually addressing a beloved girl. However, marry and satirical songs also exist. Regardless of a theme, they are always in a major key.

It is, therefore, not surprising that in the preservation of original folk music composers and musicologists-folklorists invested most of their effort into this particular segment. Consequently, a special annual festival of amateur Dalmatian singing was established in Omis - Festival of the Dalmatian klapas. In only few years, this festival has grown into a cultural institution of great importance and reputation. The lack of original records and the limited number of available songs prompted the composers to write more complex harmonizations to existing songs, as well as many entirely new songs, still respecting the tradition

GORAN IVANISEVIC dedicated Wimbledon title to DRAZEN PETROVIC

Goran Ivanisevic dedicated his Wimbledon title to a good friend, an NBA star killed in a car crash eight years ago. Drazen Petrovic, a Croatian compatriot, was a member of the New Jersey Nets when he died in the accident in Germany. "I went to his funeral just before Wimbledon and I said I was going to dedicate that Wimbledon to him," Ivanisevic said after beating Patrick Rafter in five sets. "Unfortunately I played pretty badly and I lost in the third round." Ivanisevic said his father brought him some newspapers before this tournament. In one of them was a poster of Petrovic, who was one of the best shooters in the NBA. "So I ripped it off and put it on the wall," he said. "I said, 'This must be destiny. This is it.' Everything was going smoothly and I won it. I want to dedicate this victory to him. "He was not my best friend, but he was my good friend," Ivanisevic added. "He was one of the greatest basketball player in Europe ever."
