All Melanie Tillbrook really wanted was to be a singer and entertainer. So one day she entered a singing competition and ended up being chosen as the cover girl for the DVD that was released. From there, a career in modeling began for the half-Filipina, half-British beauty.
With a body even Aphrodite would be jealous of, Tillbrook has been in high demand since she started. The young Tillbrook has been showcased in numerous bikini competitions and is a highly sought-after spokesmodel for a variety of shows and products. One of her biggest achievements was winning the famed Miss Hawaiian Tropic bikini contest. One look at these photos and you can tell this well-tanned hottie was the perfect choice. And we can think of a few guys in the office who would love to be her lotion guy at her next shoot.
Raised in the warm climate of Tampa, FL, Tillbrook is a well-rounded girl who is comfortable anywhere — be it the beach, the classroom in front of the camera or the volleyball court. I'm sure you guys would have no problem playing a little bump-and-volley with this bodacious babe.
Still in college, Tillbrook models when she can, but her main focus is on developing her music career. Being a model has opened many doors for her and she hopes to capitalize on that by following her true passion. Her success as a model has given her the chance to develop her own independent label (Fire House Entertainment) and she is working with producers across the United States.
"I would have to describe my musical style as being a soulful R&B styling mixed with sweet soprano textures," she says on her website. "I'm taking this precious time to write new material and strengthen my voice, while I finish my last year of school. My music and lyrics are the most important thing to me, I feel I have a lot to say and I can't wait to share this art with the world."
But don't worry, Tillbrook will still be in the sport compact scene as she truly enjoys everything her modeling career entails. From magazine and calendar shoots to major event stages, Tillbrook travels across the country leaving gawking men in her wake. Her talents were quickly noticed by Prestigious Models and as part of that agency, Tillbrook continues to find the perfect opportunities for both her modeling and singing careers.
As one of the hottest models on the scene, Tillbrook should be wowing crowds for years to come. In addition to all her modeling gigs, television has taken a big interest in this vivacious lady in recent years. She is a Home Shopping Network model and was interviewed by SPEED Channel at the LA Hot Import Nights show while hanging out in the PAS booth.So make sure you take the opportunity to meet Tillbrook at her next show as this Rockstar Energy Drink spokesmodel may one day be a rock star herself.

The Powerline Park
GNCC SXS & Pro ATV Race Report
St. Clairsville, Ohio, October 8, 2011 -
National Guard Polaris Coastal DragonFire Yokley
Racing Team driver William Yokley finished 1st
Overall and 1st in the Side by Side Open
Modified Class. National Guard Polaris
Coastal Yokley Racing Team driver Scott Kiger
finished 31st Overall and 17th in the same class
after being involved in a mishap. There were 45
total entries with 22 Open Modified teams in the
race today. William's guest passenger was
Steve Gieble, and Scott's passenger was Joe
National Guard Coastal Yokley Racing Pro ATV
Team rider Jarrod McClure finished 6th Overall
and 5th in the XC1 Pro ATV class. There
were 145 total entries with 14 XC1 Pro riders.
Summary – Side by Side
Powerline Park is always a popular venue with
both riders and spectators. The course
offers fast open field sections, tight,
technical trails with lots of natural elevation
changes. Rain during the week made the
course a little slick, but the competitors
agreed that it was a blast to race on.
The National Guard Polaris Team started on the
first row, and as they headed into the woods,
Yokley was in 3rd and Kiger a few positions
further back. There was a brief bottleneck
when one racer got crossed up in a tight section
allowing all the others to close in bumper to
bumper. Yokley finished lap 1 in 3rd and
Kiger was 7th. By lap 3, William was in
the lead with Scott in 3rd, and the team was
looking good for podium finishes.
On lap 4, Scott Kiger clipped a tree in a high
speed, narrow part of the course. The
impact directed him straight into another tree,
resulting in a huge hit, and instant stop.
The front wheel and A-arm received the brunt of
the force, and were strung out along the trail.
It was a tough way to end the day, but
fortunately no one was hurt. Meanwhile,
Yokley was cruising along in the lead, and other
than getting caught up behind lappers in tight
sections, he had a trouble free race. The
win put William back in the hunt for the GNCC
season championship and Scott a close 3rd with
just one race remaining.
The team will now prepare for the last GNCC race
at the Crawfordsville Indiana Ironman in 2
weeks. They hope to finish the season on a
positive note!
Summary – XC1 Pro ATV
National Guard Coastal Yokley Racing Team rider
Jarrod McClure was happy to
be racing in another GNCC for the second time in
2 weeks, and not traveling back and forth across
the US as he has been this year racing in 2
national series. He was looking for a good
finish and was ready to go. The ATV course
included a brutal mudhole section which made for
quite a challenge.
Jarrod got a good start and was running in 2nd
for most of lap 1. He got stuck in the
previously mentioned mudhole on lap 2, and
several riders got by him as he tried to get
out. Some ambitious fans tossed him a
rope, and proceeded to help pull him out.
He may still have been there if not for the
help! Once out, he still had some problems
from being partially submerged and covered in
mud. His muddy goggles, gloves, pants and
boots were making it difficult to hang on and
get back up to racing speed.
Fortunately, Jarrod was able to hang on for 5th
in the XC1 Pro class at the finish. He now
is preparing for the Ironman GNCC in
Crawfordsville Indiana in 2 weeks. Jarrod
is currently in 7th in GNCC season points and
will try to move up at the next race. See
you there!

|Total Eclipse
|Tuesday, 21 December 1999
If you want to play a really nasty trick on - or just test the loyalty of - one of Leonardo DiCaprio's more starry-eyed admirers, who knows the young actor primarily from his work in 'Titanic' and 'Romeo and Juliet,' suggest a viewing of 'Total Eclipse.' If said admirer is still a fan after watching this film, you'll know the admiration is based in overall talent and not just personality, because here DiCaprio portrays someone you wouldn't mind having flattened by a falling piano. DiCaprio plays famed French poet Arthur Rimbaud, while David Thewlis plays his somewhat older contemporary, Paul Verlaine. Perhaps the filmmakers should have included more of the poets' actual work, which might help the uninitiated detect some good in the duo. Then again, it's possible that no amount of literary brilliance would create much sympathy for two of the most unpleasant protagonists to hit the screen in quite awhile. True, neither Rimbaud nor Verlaine is a killer (in Verlaine's case, this seems more due to clumsiness than lack of malice), but they are violent, petty, judgmental, hypocritical, selfish, arrogant and not terribly bright about other human beings, while managing to be very tedious to watch. In short, they're people we don't care to be around.
After a prologue, in which the aged Verlaine meets with the late Rimbaud's sister, we are brought back to the year 1871, when Rimbaud accepts Verlaine's invitation to stay with him in Paris. Verlaine promptly falls in love with his abusive protégé, who is torn between wanting to destroy all convention and needing to feel that his mentor understands what he's talking about. Verlaine is also in love with his pregnant wife Mathilde (Romane Bohringer), though this doesn't stop him from kicking her or even setting her on fire. Rimbaud is bratty and spiteful enough to send even the bedazzled Verlaine running for cover on occasion, but the relationship endures, becoming ever more destructive until it physically erupts.
While the cinematography by Yorgos Arvanitis is beautiful throughout and the musical score by Jan A.P. Kaczmarek is haunting, these attributes are not enough to recommend the film. It appears likely that screenwriter Christopher Hampton, adapting his play, took some liberties with the facts, but even if 'Total Eclipse' is historically accurate in every detail, it's hard to know exactly what we're meant to feel. Verlaine veers back and forth between being pompous and merely pathetic, with side detours into monstrousness almost every time he comes near Mathilde. Rimbaud is depicted as being so like every handsome, deliberately vicious high school tormentor you've known that it's hard to feel anything except incredulity upon being informed by the filmmakers that such a juvenile-minded twerp might actually be a genius.
Although Rimbaud gets off the occasional good line - he observes of Paris that "the depressing thing about this city is that the artists are even more bourgeois than the bourgeoisie" - and is fairly perceptive about Verlaine's marriage, this isn't enough to convince us that he's going to revolutionize the world of poetry. Also, while DiCaprio has attitude to spare as the cocky, needy character, his American accent is jarring amid the surrounding European voices.
Still, 'Total Eclipse' might be easier to take if director Agnieszka Holland and the script simply opted to let the tale run on sheer outrageousness, instead of trying to muster sympathy for the main characters. There's a weird sentimental streak running through the film that seems at odds with the rebellious stance established elsewhere.
Movies with tortured and torturing artistic heroes can work - witness 'Sid and Nancy' or 'Prick Up Your Ears- but here the main characters don't draw us in and they're not quite strange enough to command dark fascination. 'Total Eclipse' gives too little in the way of explanation and assumes too much in the way of our emotional involvement.

Major American Jewish Leader Changes His Mind About Israel
An Amazing Turn for a Major Leader of the American Jewish mainstream: David Gordis Rethinking Israel
David Gordis has served as vice-president of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America and of the University of Judaism in Los Angeles (now American Jewish University). He also served as Executive Vice President of the American Jewish Committee and was the founding director of the Foundation for Masorti Judaism in Israel. He founded and directed the Wilstein Institute for Jewish Policy Studies which became the National Center for Jewish Policy Studies.
David Gordis is President Emeritus of Hebrew College where he served as President and Professor of Rabbinics for fifteen years. He is currently Visiting Senior Scholar at the University at Albany of the State University of New York. Here is the article he submitted to Tikkun. We publish it with the same sadness that Gordis expresses at the end of this article, because many of us at Tikkun magazine shared the same hopes he expresses below for an Israel that would make Jews proud by becoming an embodiment of what is best in Jewish tradition, history, and ethics, rather than a manifestation of all the psychological and spiritual damage that has been done to our people, which now acts as an oppressor to the Palestinian people. For those of us who continue to love Judaism and the wisdom of our Jewish culture and traditions, pointing out Israel's current distortions gives us no pleasure, but only makes saddens us deeply.
–Rabbi Michael Lerner
Reflections on Israel 2016
David M. Gordis
While reading Ethan Bronner's review of a new biography of Abba Eban, I was reminded of a time when in a rare moment I had the better of a verbal encounter with Eban. It happened about thirty years ago at a meeting of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, which brought together leaders of American Jewish organizations, sometimes to hear from a visiting dignitary, in this case Eban, Israel's eloquent voice for many years. I was attending as Executive Vice President of the American Jewish Committee. Eban had a sharp wit as well as a sharp tongue. He began his remarks with a mildly cynical remark: "I'm pleased, as always, to meet with the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, though I wonder where the presidents of minor American Jewish organizations might be." I piped up from the audience: "They are busy meeting with minor Israeli government officials." A mild amused reaction followed and Eban proceeded with his remarks.
Looking back on Israel oriented meetings from those days, I attended a monthly meeting, alternating between Washington and New York, with my counterparts at the Anti-Defamation League, Nathan Perlmutter and the American Jewish Congress, Henry Siegman, along with Tom Dine of the America Israel Public Affairs Commission (AIPAC). Though the atmosphere was cordial, a clear fault line separated Perlmutter and Dine from Siegman and me. AIPAC and ADL were on the ideological and political right, particularly when it came to Israel, the American Jewish Congress was on the left and the American Jewish Committee straddled a centrist position, with its lay leadership tending center-right and its professional staff clearly center left. A policy adopted by all four public policy organization was honored inconsistently. The policy was: support whatever government was in power in Israel, right or left, and avoid criticism of its policies. This was honored when a right wing government was in power. However, the agreement dissolved when a left wing Labor government was in control because neither ADL nor AIPAC hesitated to criticize Labor government policies. At our meetings Dine and Perlmutter agreed that a Labor government in control in Israel was a problem for them. So it was Perlmutter and Dine on one side of the divide, and Siegman and me on the other.
Things have moved a long way since those days. The American Jewish Congress has disappeared from the stage. The current executive of the American Jewish Committee appears to aspire to fill the role of the retired ADL executive Abe Foxman as a leading spokesman for the ideological and political right. AIPAC's support of the right wing in Israel and its alliance with the right wing in the United States is more palpable than ever. And of course, there has been no significant opposition to the entrenched Likud government of Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel. Israel's occupation of the West Bank is nearing a half century in duration. Netanyahu's "facts on the ground" steps to make a two-state solution impossible are bearing fruit, and there still appears to be no significant opposition to these policies in Israel itself. A number of smaller organizations supporting a two-state solution have emerged, notably J-Street and Americans for Peace Now, but recent steps by the Israeli government to delegitimize these groups are proceeding. The bottom line as I see it: The right has triumphed; the left has been defeated.
The Israel of today is very far from anything I dreamed of and worked for throughout my career. I can clearly remember the day in 1948 when the State of Israel was established. I was in the fourth grade at the Yeshivah of Flatbush in Brooklyn. The entire school was summoned to the schoolyard in celebration of the momentous occasion. It was announced that from that day on the school would adopt the Sephardic (Israeli) Hebrew pronunciation and abandon the older European Ashkenazic. I well remember driving out with my parents to Idyllwild Airport, now JFK, to see the first airliner with the Israeli flag adorning its tail. This was a transformative moment. Jews had returned to the stage of history after the devastation of the Holocaust. Israel was to be the great laboratory for the rebirth of an ancient tradition in a new land and in a country committed to being a model of democracy and freedom for the world.
What happened? We can debate the reasons but the bottom line for me is that it has gone terribly wrong. On the positive side, Israel's accomplishments have been remarkable. Israel has created a thriving economy, and has been a refuge for hundreds of thousands of the displaced and the needy. Israel has generated a rich and diverse cultural life and its scientific and educational achievements have been exemplary. In spite of these achievements, however, Israel in my view has gone astray. And it in in the area for which Israel was created, as a Jewish state, embodying and enhancing Jewish values that I see this failure. Throughout history, at its best, Jewish life and thought have successfully navigated between three pairs of values that are in tension with one another. First, the Jewish experience has balanced the rational with the affective, the assertion with the question, where often the question emerges as the more important. Second, it has embraced both particularism with universalism, probing Jewish interiorities but looking out to the larger world, recognizing the common humanity of all people. Third, it has shaped positions which looked to the past for sources and inspiration but at the same time projected a vision for a world transformed in the future into something better than its current reality.
Present day Israel has discarded the rational, the universal and the visionary. These values have been subordinated to a cruel and oppressive occupation, an emphatic materialism, severe inequalities rivaling the worst in the western world and distorted by a fanatic, obscurantist and fundamentalist religion which encourages the worst behaviors rather than the best.
And most depressing of all for me, is that I see no way out, no way forward which will reverse the current reality. Right wing control in Israel is stronger and more entrenched than ever. The establishment leadership in the American Jewish community is silent in the face of this dismal situation, and there are no recognizable trends that can move Israel out of this quagmire. So, sadly, after a life and career devoted to Jewish community and Israel, I conclude that in every important way Israel has failed to realize its promise for me. A noble experiment, but a failure.

I would rather be a live failure than a dead success. Jews have tried it the other way for thousands of years. That has not worked out to well.
Well put. So true.
That is to say, I was replying to a comment AGAINST Mr. Gordis's article. Better a living failure than a dead dove. I stand with Israel!
And therefore, as moral human beings, Jew and non-Jew alike, we should…? We need an action recommendation to make this article truly brave and honest.
David Gordis expresses the heartache, if not outright despair, about the state of the state of Israel today. But the analysis and conclusion are too facile. The dream was much more complicated (see, e.g., Ari Shavit) from the start, and while Netanyahu has led the country into a tragic economic, political and social quagmire, there still are voices crying out in the wilderness against him and the racist government he leads. Where there's life, there's…..
Surely, it is time to accept reality:
Zionism is racism. Zionism is theft.
Israel: 67 years of trying to pound a square peg into a round hole.
People around the world, including more and more Americans and righteous Jews everywhere, are increasingly disgusted with and enraged at Israel. The handwriting is on the wall.
There are Jews of all colors and "races". How is Zionism racism.
Rabbi Gould, you'll have to choose. A Jewish state, privileging Jews over others, is either an ethnocracy (racism) or a theocracy. Neither is acceptable in the 21st century.
By the very same token, you could say that Judaism has been trying to force a round peg in a square hole for 4,000 years.
All that Israel has failed to do is to subordinate itself to the supercilious visions of arm chair Zionists such as the author. We pursue a different vision. If national identity, historical pride and an unwillingness to fall on the sword of Post-Modern Liberalism makes people like its author uncomfortable, Ita sit,
well said!
Agreed that Zionism is racism pure and simple.
Look at what being "chosen" does to Jewish minds.
Look at what being "the greatest nation on earth" does to American minds.
Give up these racist notions that are a prerequisite to the enormous crimes American and Israeli governments commit.
Give up these racist notions that allow you to be played for a fool – your hard earned tax dollars going to murder and murderers rather than to society, education, health and peace.
Everyday, every Jew and every American should repeat to themselves "I am no more special or exceptional than any human being on earth."
You will find a great weight lifted from you and you will find your humanity.
Replace the word Zionism with Arab Nationalism: "wattaniyeh", and "Jew" with "Palestinian", and your description of reality becomes much more accurate and demonstrable. Sale of land in "Palestine" to a Jew is punshable by death, under the law of the authority not only the gang rule. In Israel there's no such limitation.
How should the Jewish nation deal with sharing its land with a population that preaches, and actively attempts to effect, the Jewish nation's destruction?
I found the analysis of Israel's spiritual emptiness illuminating. "Present day Israel has discarded the rational, the universal and the visionary."
Hopefully Israel will restore itself and build a just co-existence with the Palestinians…but this is unlikely to happen if US Jews and allies remain ambivalent or passive.
Surely there must be a way out – in order to save the children who are being murdered, maimed, orphaned and displaced by the score and many nations are guilty of this horrendous crime. This is not about anymore strictly about nationhood or religion – this is about saving one child at a time.
We do not live in the middle ages. We can find a way out in order to save the children.
What an unhelpful piece.
To be sure: Israel's right wing government has some serious, even unforgivable problems. And the lack of Palestinian sovereignty and control over their own lives remains unjust. And the use of the political machine against the left is doing a disservice to everyone who has a stake in Israel.
But with all due respect, Gordis's conclusions are childish. Israel is "a failed experiment"? The right wing is more entrenched than ever? There's "no way forward"?
Let's be clear: Israel isn't some vanity project for the organized American Jewish community: it's a real country, inhabited by real people, with real concerns.
Gordis laments the discarding of the rational – but doesn't say by whom. Israel's government? The electorate? The American Jewish establishment? His arguments are sweeping, unhelpful generalizations.
His cry that there is "no way forward" makes it hard to take his argument seriously. If Gordis sees no way forward, it seems hollow to criticize others' lack of vision.
I challenge David Gordis to try this again: State the problems, describe a vision for something better, and make some suggestions about how we might get there.
I have to agree that Israel is a real nation with poor judgment, extraordinary and dangerous problems unlike anything we in the US have to deal with. It's gracious to be altruistic to our suffering neighbors and citizens but self sacrifice to an implacable embittered foe bent on murder makes no sense. We are not chosen to do that anymore.
He has stated the problems and the vision, but the point of the article is that he sees no way to improve matters in the current political climate. Speaking as an Israeli, neither do I. Do you?
Kol ha kvod, David. You are a good & brave man. MJ
PS I do not miss Israel one bit.
It seems as though Dr. Gordis has a long distinguished career in which every institution he was affiliated with quickly changes names following his departure. It is no doubt that after getting to know him, institutions do everything to disavow having been associated with him. This article clearly shows how there is no fashionable movement to which he won't flock. I look forward to his embrace of Israel when this becomes cool again.
Ah yes let's pine for the days of Abba Eban and the real Zionists their disdain for observant Israelis and Israelis of color, their shoveling of jobs and money to their cronies and the money pits of the histadrut and kibbutzim while the great American Jewish leaders created the largest most Jewishly illiterate diaspora Jewish community..but kol hakavod he and Michael Lerner and other "Jewish leaders" have the courage to "speak out" about how Israel has "failed them".
I am a proud Zionist and chose to live in Israel over 40 years ago. Zionism is the national liberation movement of the Jewish people and has played a critical role in saving Jews from many distressed countries around the world. Like any similar political movements it is not perfect and its major achievement of creating the State of Israel has had its challenges. In less than 70 years t has grown from a third-world backwater to a leading center of academic, cultural, medical, commercial and scientific excellence. I am terribly frustrated with the current government's lack of initiative/vision and for not giving our country a sense of hope that the underlying conflict with the Palestinians can and must be resolved. I am also sharply aware that the Palestinians have much responsibility to focus on building their own nationhood instead of focusing on the ridding of Israel. The comments above about Israel being racist and stealing from others is simplistic and not helpful to moving things forward. There are now over 7 million people within the internationally recognised borders of Israel including 1.4 million Muslims and Christians. No other country in the Mideast treats its minorities as well as Israel. Some 600,000 Jews were thrown out of Arab countries in the 40s and 50s and one never hears of that as being a racist act. Today there are no Jews in any Arab country in the Mideast – surely that is the ultimate form of racism. When Egypt reached out to make a peace agreement with Israel the response was positive and land was given up by Israel.
It is sad to hear that people like Gordis have given up on Israel and describe it as a failed experiment. I prefer to remain optimistic that realpolitics will prevail and that most people in this land do want to live normal lives. We need strong and visionary leaders like the late Nelson Mandela to resolve the conflict and restore hope for all – including the likes of Gordis.
Tragic conclusion from a diaspora Jew! Israel is the most vital abd crearve Jewish entity in our history. The failure is in the Diaspora which is the most ignorant and self centered Jewish community ever.
As A B Yehoshua once stared: Israelis live in Jewish skin and diaspora Jews change their Jewish clothing as styles change and in accordance with appearances.
As a left wing Jew living in Israel I identify with the author's disappointment with the deplorable political environment in Israel today. However the author makes the mistake, as so many American Zionists do, as viewing Israel as an experiment in ideology and politics. If Israel
The analysis is completely wrong and premature by several centuries. After the destruction of the 2nd Temple our Rabbis spent the next 400 years wrestling with the meaning of that event. Only, that's right only! 80 years ago the Jews of Europe were sent to gas chambers while the world stood idly by.
The "Israel experiment" is not ending; it has hardly begun. It is way too early to make any judgements about the outcome. I could easily write a companion piece to his article that demonstrates the opposite of each of his three arguments. Yes, it looks a bit bleak right now, but only if you ignore the Shoah, the hostility of the Arab world that stems back to the early 20th century, and the fact that Israel has been surrounded by enemies committed to "no Jews here" from before the founding of the state.
With all the challenges, Jews around the world are far better off today with Israel than the previous 2000 years of ghettos, persecution, bigotry and hate culminating in the Holocaust. The Jewish people deserve better leadership than the weakness and defeat presented in this article.
I appreciate this poignant, heartfelt reflection. However, I think the assertion that there is "no way forward" is a bit alarmist and detracts from powerful points made in the preceding paragraphs.
Also, an edit in Gordis' fifth paragraph: "And it is in" versus "And it in in"
A point that seems to elude David Gordis: Israel's Likud government is not "entrenched," it has been repeatedly elected by teh citizens of Israel in free and fair elections. So apparently it is actually Israeli democracy that he finds unpalatable. How very progressive!
It is good that Mr. Gordis reconsidered his view but I can't disagree more with his last comment that Israel was "A noble experiment." From its inception, Israel was a racist colonial project built on the ethnic cleansing of the native Palestinian. It is sad that Zionists continue to pretend otherwise.
Hassan Fouda's remarks are the sharpest rebuke to Gordis' flatulent meandering. When those around you are filled with wild-eyed, unbridled Jew hatred, you gravitate to those who say they will defend you. Israel's voters are doing that. Gordis and Lerner, on the other hand, gravitate to the Jew haters and dismiss the racism that underlies their views. It is the better view that Gordis, Lerner and their values are the abject failure. Their embrace of the Hassan Fouda's of the world proves it.
A good thing Dr.Gordis doeant take the time to look inward about the state of the American Jewish community he and his fellow "leaders" have shaped over the past decades.
Our societies increasingly discard the rational, the universal and the visionary; subordinate solidarity to cruelty, oppression, emphatic materialism and severe inequalities; and often justify this thru distorted, fanatic, obscurantist and fundamentalist religion which encourages the worst behaviors rather than the best. Don't ever give up the fight where ever you live. Humanity is at stake.
My G-d, what pretentious nonsense.
Really, a state of real human beings isn't magically turning into your version of a utopia? Shocking.
I find Rabbi David Gordis's turning against Israel baffling. We need some perspective both on the current situation on the West Bank and the relative situations of Israel and the United States.
After the spectacular success of the Six Day War Israel should perhaps have withdrawn unilaterally. But it seemed sensible to wait for a peace treaty and a two state solution. We should recall that Palestinians were not willing to negotiate. The three famous 'no's' at the Khartoum conference made that painfully clear.
But let us suppose Israel is as culpable for the present situation as are the Palestinians. Gordis' critique still lacks perspective. Let us compare the moral stature of Israel (including the occupation) with the United States.
Income inequalities are significantly worse in the US, in fact among the most egregious in the world. Life expectancy in Israel (including Arabs, including the risk of war) is higher than in the US. Medical care is better. In fact, if you go to the emergency room at Hadassah, you will find that most of the patients are Arabs. Compare this to the dismal situation that prevailed until recently in the US, and I am not sure that even with Obamacare, the access to medical care is better in the U.S. than in Israel.
The death penalty survives in the US and is indeed used. In defiance of all international trends, the persistently conservative Supreme Court will not declare it to be "a cruel and unusual punishment." Israel executed Eichmann over massive protest and will clearly never use the death penalty again.
Most privileged Americans have no idea what actually goes on in our criminal justice system. We have the highest per capita incarceration rate in the world, and in addition we use the prison system as a way of controlling the ballot box. Felons are still disenfranchised in many states. Bush was able to win the 2000 election in Florida because a half million blacks were unable to vote. Felons are not treated this way this way in Israel. Indeed Areyh Deri, the leader of Shas, ran for election while he was in prison.
The demise of the left in Israel is a serious problem. And Israelis have become complacent about the situation in the West Bank. It is right for Rabbi Gordis to raise his concerns, but perhaps he should begin the critique at home.
Better late than never, but perhaps Gordis needs to go even further and recognize that Israel didn't just go wrong in recent times, but the entire project, while psychologically understandable, was linked to ethnic cleansing…the Nabka. This isn't ancient history, but a history with living victims.
There's a very interesting response to David Gordis here:

ADRIAN — A state prison inmate risked a longer stay in prison Friday to challenge felony charges that he burned another inmate with a mixture of hot water and Vicks VapoRub.
The gamble failed and Jonathan Alan Horner, 28, was bound over to Lenawee County Circuit Court on charges of assault with intent to commit great bodily harm and habitual offender. He faces up to a 15-year prison term if convicted. A plea offer to a four-year assault charge was withdrawn by a Lenawee County prosecutor.
Horner's former cellmate, Bud Bryant Jr., testified at the hearing in Lenawee County District Court that Horner was the man who seriously burned his face. Vision was damaged in his right eye and plastic surgery was needed for burn scars, he said.
An ointment he said smelled like Vick's was mixed in a cup of hot water that Bryant said Horner threw at him without warning on Aug. 27. The assault happened at the Gus Harrison Correctional Facility in Madison Township.
"It stuck to my face," Bryant said.
Before it could be removed, he said, it burned through his skin and injured his eye. He was kept for nine days in the burn center at the University of Michigan Health System, he said. Vision in his right eye is still blurry, he said.
"They said it's possible to get my vision back, but there's no guarantee," Bryant said.
Bryant testified he was talking with another inmate inside a restroom in his housing unit when Horner walked in. He noticed Horner was carrying a white cup, he said. He then "splashed the side of my face. It was hot real hot," Bryant said.
He was hit several times before he got away and ran for medical help, he said.
Bryant said he was not aware Horner was angry with him, but told defense attorney John Glaser he had heard a rumor that Horner was calling him a "snitch."
"You never said anything about putting a hit on Horner?" Glaser asked. "You don't know how my client got marks on his neck? Did you ever choke him?"
Bryant denied the accusations.
Assistant prosecutor Rodney Leon asked that Horner be bound over for trial on added charges of assault with intent to maim and assault with intent to do great bodily harm because of the potentially permanent injury to Bryant's eye and serious skin burns.
Judge Laura J. Schaedler ruled there was not enough evidence of a specific intent to injure Bryant's eye. She ordered him bound over the added charge of assault with intent to do great bodily harm as well as the original felonious assault count.
Glaser had Horner sign a waiver, entering "not guilty" pleas without having to appear in circuit court for arraignment on Jan. 2.
Horner is serving a 12- to 24-year prison term he received for a 2003 armed robbery conviction in Lapeer County. Bryant is serving sentences adding up to seven to 20 years for first-degree home invasion and felony firearm convictions in Wayne County in 2006.
Inmate faces tougher charges in assault

PPPoE Client-Server setup and configuration
From DocWiki
This is an example of configuring PPPoE in a back-to-back scenario. The objective here is to simulate a PPPoE server (typically found on the ISP end)
In this example, we're using 2 routers connected back-to-back on their Fa0/0 ports. Here're the parameters being simulated
1. Authentication using Chap/Pap (Username: cisco, password: sisco) 2. Client being authenticated by the server (one way authentication) 3. IP address being negotiated using IPCP
Here's the relevant configuration needed on the client router
interface FastEthernet0/0 no ip address no ip redirects no ip unreachables no ip proxy-arp ip virtual-reassembly ip tcp adjust-mss 1452 duplex auto speed auto pppoe enable pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1 !
interface Dialer1 ip address negotiated encapsulation ppp dialer pool 1 dialer-group 1 no cdp enable ppp authentication pap chap callin ppp pap sent-username cisco password sisco ppp chap hostname cisco ppp chap password sisco ! ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Dialer1
Here's the relevant configuration needed on the Server
username cisco password sisco ! bba-group pppoe global virtual-template 1 ! interface FastEthernet0/0 ip address 10.252.102.49 255.255.255.240 ip rip advertise 4 load-interval 30 duplex auto speed auto pppoe enable group global !
interface Virtual-Template1 mtu 1492 ip unnumbered FastEthernet0/0 peer default ip address pool pppoepool ppp authentication pap chap ! ip local pool pppoepool 10.10.10.1 10.10.10.200 !
Here's how the flow will be
1. Client negotiates PPPoE using PADo, PADi and PADr with the server, both client and server move into PPP-->LCP phase 2. Client/Server negotiate authentication, other parameters 3. Server asks the client for a username/password (using pap, as pap is configured before chap) 4. Client sends out a username/password configured in it's dialer 5. Server authenticates this username/password against its global username/password list (alternatively a AAA/Radius server) 6. Client and Server both move on to IPCP phase 7. Client sends an ip address of 0.0.0.0 (asking for an ip address from the Server) 8. Server hands out an IP address from its pool (in this case pppoepool) 9. Client/Server finish IPCP phase and the link comes up
At this time, the link should be up and able to pass traffic

VANCOUVER -- It appears the Chicago Blackhawks will be without the services of winger Tomas Kopecky for Game 2 of the Western Conference quarterfinals against the Canucks.
Kopecky suffered an upper-body injury during the first period of Game 1 on Wednesday night and Joel Quenneville said Thursday the veteran was "doubtful" for Game 2 on Friday night. Quenneville indicated Fernando Pisani, who was a scratch in the opener, would replace Kopecky.
Meanwhile, center Ryan Johnson, who was injured when he went knee-to-knee with the Canucks' Tanner Glass in the third period, is okay and is expected to play.
Center Dave Bolland remains sidelined with a concussion, but participated in two-on-two drills with teammates at Rogers Arena on Thursday and is still optimistic he will play in the series.
The injuries make the Hawks' task of rallying for a series victory after dropping Game 1 that much more difficult, but the team is ready to forge ahead.
"If you're out there playing, you're fine," defenseman Brian Campbell said. "I'm sure there are lots of guys that are banged up. (The Canucks) have guys the same way. There's no excuses on that part--whoever is not playing, you roll the next person in and you go. Nobody's going to feel sorry for us and that's not going to win us playoff series, thinking about that and pouting about that. Good teams learn how to get past that to win."

Bullet Bulldogs eliminate Eels
The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have dominated the Parramatta Eels with a strong second half performance, defeating their traditional rivals 46-12 at ANZ Stadium in front of 28,245 fans.
Josh Morris was the star of the show with a hat trick of tries while five-eighth Josh Reynolds guided the Bulldogs to victory with a Man of the Match performance.
The first of Morris' tries came after Ben Barba showed his pace to break the line. With Steve Turner sidelined with an injury, Bryson Goodwin was given goal kicking duties, and failed with his first shot at goal from the sideline. Bulldogs led 4-0 after 12 minutes.
The Eels hit back within five minutes on the back of a penalty. Ryan Morgan left would-be tacklers in his wake as he collected a cross-field kick and opened the scoring for the Eels, despite replays showing he may not have grounded it. The try was awarded, then Luke Burt added the extras to give the Eels the lead 6-4.
The second Eels' try was the wake up the Bulldogs needed, as they scored 42 unanswered points in the final 50 minutes of the match.
Sam Kasiano stamped his mark on the match with great lead up work to gift Josh Morris his second try. Kris Keating linked in between the pair to complete the movement, as the line breaks continued to see points leak from the Eels defence.

On July 19, at about 9:56 p.m., District 5 Lt. Heather Wurth responded to a report of a strong-arm robbery at N. Fratney and E. Center Street. The description given was a of black male, 20-25, 6'0 tall, white t-shirt, blue jean shorts, leather backpack. The caller also reported that the actor took a computer that was in a shoulder leather backpack.
As Lt. Wurth arrived at that location in a marked Milwaukee Police squad, dressed in full police uniform, she was flagged down by a victim of the robbery. The woman, who was walking northbound on N. Fratney towards E. Center Street, immediately pointed to a man also walking northbound on N. Fratney and stated, "that's him."
Lt. Wurth then looked directly at the man and she noted that he was wearing a white shirt, dark shorts, wearing a red backpack, and that he appeared to match the description given in the computer aided dispatch report.
The man continued to walk northbound on N. Fratney, but accelerated his pace, while Lt. Wurth turned the squad around and attempted to maintain visual contact with him. She then saw the same suspect turn eastbound on E. Center Street and cross over the street running northbound into the alley between N. Fratney and N. Bremen.
Lt. Wurth entered the alley with her squad and noted that she could not longer see the suspect. She continued to give a broadcast of a description and direction of travel to other responding squads. Lt. Wurth then drove to the 2700 block of N. Bremen and was advised by several citizens that the suspect had not come out onto N. Bremen. Lt. Wurth parked mid block and began checking the west yards in the 2700 block of N. Bremen.
She was met in the yards by Officers Chad Boyack, Nate Fager, Rick Ticconi and Sean Mahnke and the five continued to search for the suspect. While searching the yards, another officer reported via the radio that the suspect had possibly run west on E. Center Street. At that time, the officers began walking southbound on N. Fratney towards W. Center Street. While walking southbound, Lt. Wurth spotted the suspect she had originally observed standing in a gangway in the 700 block of E. Center Street. The suspect ran away with the officers in foot pursuit. The suspect discarded the red backpack on the sidewalk and continued to run.
Officers Boyack, Ticconi, Mahnke and Fager continued to run after the suspect and caught him in the 2600 block of N. Pierce Street. Lt. Wurth stayed with the recovered backpack, which was later positively identified as belonging to the victim of the robbery. Additional property from two victims was recovered. The suspect gave a full confession and was charged with robbery.
The victim in this offense took an active role to follow and maintain visual contact of the suspect. Great job by the officers and their supervisor in saturating the area. Due to their swift feet , the suspect was taken into custody without incident.

LG may not be ready to officially unveil the LG G-Slate quite yet, but that doesn't mean the Android tablet can't make an appearance in a Korean music video. I'm sure all of you have already seen Seungri 's latest video a few hundred times, but if you want to take a peek at it again, we've embedded the video below.
If you were hoping to see Android 3.0 running on the LG G-Slate, you might have to check back in when Seungri releases his next music video. For now, we simply get to see the G-Slate's front a few times and a sneak peek of the 3D camera on the back. The front side of the G-Slate is completely clean, similar to the Motorola XOOM. From the angles, it's hard to tell exactly how large the G-Slate actually is, but it's safe to say that it falls somewhere in between the Motorola XOOM and the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
Price and launch schedule for the LG G-Slate are still up in the air, but we're hoping that LG will be releasing their Android tablet at a more reasonable price point than the Motorola XOOM. Now that the G-Slate's external hardware has been revealed, let's hope LG will share details on the tablets internal specs sometime soon.

Everyone in the apartment complex I lived in
knew who Ugly was.
Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly loved three things in
this world:
fighting, eating garbage, and, shall we say, love, the
combination of these things combined with a life spent
outside had their effect on Ugly. To start with, he had
only one eye and where the other should have been was a
hole. He was also missing his ear on the same side, his
left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one
time, and had healed at an unnatural angle, making him
look like he was always turning the corner.
Ugly would have been a dark gray tabby,
striped type, except for the sores covering his head,
neck, and even his shoulders. Every time someone saw
Ugly there was the same reaction. "That's one UGLY
cat!!! All the children were warned
not to touch him, the adults threw
rocks at him, hosed him down, squirted him when he tried
to come in their homes, or shut his paws in the door
when he would not leave. Ugly always had the same
If you turned the hose on him, he would stand
there, getting soaked until you gave up and quit. If you
threw things at him, he would curl his lanky body around
your feet in forgiveness. Whenever he spied children, he
would come running, meowing frantically and bump his
head against their hands, begging for their love.
If you ever picked him up he would immediately begin
suckling on your shirt, earrings, whatever he could

July 4th kicks off the season of grilling and bbq. No barbeque is complete without bugers. To learn how to make the perfect burger for your next barbeque or dinner, we've asked Chef Ami Bonen to guide us with Step-by-Step photos. - CookKosher
Click here for more barbequing and grilling ideas!
Need some more July 4th ideas? Here you go!
Start off with 2 large onions diced.
Saute them in a skillet with 2-3 tablespoons oil until brown and golden.
Place the onions in a bowl. Add about 3 tablespoons of dijon mustard.
With a hand blender, blend the onions and mustard.
You should now have a bowl of blended onions and a bowl of chopped parsley.
Combine the onions, parsley and salt and pepper with the ground beef.
The easiest way to form burgers is by using a burger press. The one above is cheap (less than 3 dollars) and can be purchased here. Before adding the meat, wet the inside with a little water, so that the burgers slide out easily.
With wet hands, form a ball. Place the ball in the burger press.
Press down the burger until it fills the press. Flip over on a piece of parchment paper. Twist the top to release the burger.
Viola, perfect burgers! Place in in a lined pan and cover. Freeze for 30 minutes or until you needed so that they maintain their shape while being cooked.
Grill or bake in the oven. Place it in a bun, with your favorite topping and enjoy!

looks great.
If you don't have a burger press you can also use the lid of a plastic disposable container.
I wish I had read this last week. It looks great; thanks for the clear and informative tutorial. I'm looking forward to trying this.
I did it yesterday for a family BBQ, was a huge success!!

Of Maria Elena's nine children, she and her husband still have six growing under their care on the outskirts of a big city in Bolivia. All girls, their names are Angelica, Eva, Margot, Gabriela, Rosmary and Nazareth.
And then there is Regina. She belongs to them all, thanks to a contribution through ChildFund.
A few years ago, Maria Elena's family received a cow through ChildFund's Gifts of Love & Hope catalog. The girls named her Regina. Maria Elena says Regina was the "greatest surprise and blessing" of their lives.
The cow provided a steady supply of fresh milk for the girls during their growing years, with enough extra that Maria Elena was able to share milk with the community center each week. This helped ChildFund's local partner organization, Lucerito, in its programs to reduce malnutrition, which is one of the main causes of child mortality in the area. Lucerito also offers after-school support activities, access to health care and skills development workshops. Several of Maria Elena's girls participate in the programs.
When Regina has baby calves, Maria Elena and her family give them to other families, creating a chain of benefits that has extended and multiplied — literally — within the community.
This gift of love continues to yield more gifts of love, making a difference in the lives of many growing children who live in extreme poverty in Bolivia.

Police Brutality in HondurasWritten by Stephen Lendman Subject: Police State
On June 28, 2009, a coordinated State Department-Pentagon project allied with Honduran military commanders and top opposition figures ousted President Manuel Zelaya, establishing the current fascist dictatorship, supported, armed, and funded by Washington.
In fact, all Honduran officers from captains on up are trained at the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC), formerly the School of the Americas (SOA), popularly known as the "School of Assassins."
Established in 1946, SOA Watch calls it "a combat training school," teaching soldiers how to torture, repress, exterminate poor and indigenous people, overthrow democratically elected governments, assassinate targeted leaders, and suppress popular resistance when it erupts.
As a result, its graduates have "left a trail of blood and suffering in every country," sending recruits to learn the latest ways to brutalize, disappear, and massacre their people back home, including in Honduras.
On March 31, Rights Action contributor Karen Spring headlined, "Honduras Is Burning - Endless Repression by Military-Backed Regime," saying:
After two weeks of brutal repression, anger over 18 political prisoners on trial for illegally protesting and sedition, and attempts by the fascist government to privatize public education, public school teachers and the National Front of Popular Resistance (NFPR) called a nationwide strike.
On March 30, NFPR reported widespread protests, shutting down many highways. "Live rounds (were) fired at protesters at some of the take-over" locations, injuring many people. "Severe repression (was reported) in Nacaome, Planes, Tegucigalpa, Potrerillos, Santa Cruz de Yojoa, Santa Rosa de Copan and San Pedro Sula, as well as in other communities and neighborhoods throughout the country.
On April 1, March of the Drums celebrants, commemorating 214 years since the Garifuna people arrived in Honduras, released a statement declaring "nothing to celebrate," saying:
"We commemorate, we do not celebrate. Because we cannot celebrate the infamous inhumane and genocidal exile" suffered by our ancestors....a flagrant violation of the most elemental human rights that even today the aggressor powers refuse to repair." Its "pseudo-leadership (is) completely disconnected from the daily reality of a community that is bleeding and agonizing through the systematic loss of its ancestral richness," compounded by more suffering from police state neoliberal repression.
On March 30, occupying major roads, bridges, universities, and other locations, police attacked protesters and gatherings with tear gas, water canons, batons, and live fire, unconfirmed reports saying at least four dozens were arrested, many others injured, and at least one killed.
Police illegally swept through the National Autonomous University (UNAH), accosting non-participating students. They resisted. Several were seriously hurt. Teachers were also attacked. Outside, they beat, tear-gassed and arrested anyone they encountered.
On March 25, students' parents demonstrated against daily violence. Police confronted them with tear gas and batons. On March 26, teachers and NFPR members organized a motor vehicle caravan through Tegucigalpa streets. A nurses' group also announced plans to protest.
Those arrested were held in a military building basement, despite constitutional prohibitions against using "special installations" for incarceration. On March 21, police assaulted 13 reporters covering a demonstration, destroying their equipment.
In the past 18 months, 10 reporters were killed. Also targeted are human rights workers, other activists, unionists, campesinos, and anyone promoting democratic change.
On March 27, the government said teachers not returning to classes would be suspended for a year without pay. On March 30, Human Rights Watch (HRW) headlined, "Honduras: Probe Charges of Police Brutality," saying:
Since mid-March, police have assaulted teachers and other protesters violently, "firing teargas canisters indiscriminately and beating people with batons. HRW Americas director, Jose Miguel Vivanco, said they're obligated "to respect the basic rights of demonstrators."
Sandra Ponce, head of human rights at the Attorney General's Office, said her unit "verified a pattern of excessive" police force. In addition, national human rights ombudsman Ramon Custodio and human rights minister Ana Pineda also questioned indiscriminate police violence against peaceful protesters.
On April 3, the Committee of Relatives of Detained and Disappeared in Honduras (COFADEH) headlined, "Honduras: the Human Rights Emergency Continues," saying:
Under the militantly backed fascist regime, "the citizenry suffered from the worst period of violations of their human rights." Since the June 2009 coup, it's used disproportionate terror against civil society. As a result, a National Civic Strike was called for change, a notice announcing it saying: "Pardon the inconvenience. We are fighting to build a new country!"
On March 18, Ilse Velazquez Rodriguez, a teacher and human rights activist was struck on the head by a tear gas canister and killed. The same day, union leader Adalid Romero was beaten and severely injured. On March 28, human rights activist Mirian Miranda was beaten and locked in the trunk of a police car for hours.
In San Pedro Sula, capital of Cortes province, a former Party of Democratic Unification (UD) member's daughter, Silvia Ayala, was wounded during violent clashes at the University Center of the Valley of Sula where dozens of students and professors were detained. Josue Rodriguez, a student, was struck by a tear gas canister on his head and badly hurt.
The Regional University Center was surrounded by police and soldiers, attacking students and professors with tear gas canisters fired directly at them. Fainting and vomiting resulted. In several municipalities, dozens were arrested, beaten, and injured, some severely.
At the highway turn-off to La Flores, Santa Cruz, in Cortes, violent repression and 17 arrests were made. Six protesters were wounded by live fire. Riot police punctured tires of more than 30 vehicles, using firearms and knives, then assaulted owners with tear gas and gunfire. In numerous towns, locations, and neighborhoods, police assaulted, beat, tear-gassed, injured, and arrested others. A dozen or more were wounded by live fire.
In offices of the College of Professors of Middle Education (COPRMH), police planted evidence against the organization to strip its legal status, telling the Public Ministry that a box of molotov cocktails was found close to the center.
In Comayagua province, police and soldiers (accompanied by a judge) violently evicted 500 families that occupied a land area rightfully seven years ago, naming their community Colonia 25 de October. Homes, the community school, and a church were destroyed. Five arrests were made.
In Nacaome, de Valle provincial capital, police and soldiers assaulted residents in their homes with tear gas, especially harming children. In the La Flor community of Amapala, De Valle, police intimidated residents to learn if they participated in strike demonstrations.
Since mid-March, police and soldiers unleashed violent repression throughout the country, using infiltrators to provoke demonstrators into confrontations to justify what may result in massacres. This is how police state barbarism works, crushing resistance oppressively.
As a result, COFADEH calls it urgent for the world to monitor Honduras "now; tomorrow may be too late. For the deeds and the perpetrators, neither forget nor forgive."

text: Last week I found myself in the city centre with the girlies. We'd been at the bank pretending to be grown ups. Instead of getting the train home we went for a walk and before long I found myself passing a gallery, not one of those family friendly ones with crayons and interactive displays, a trendy gallery. It was empty. Looking in the window I was immediately drawn in by the (frankly amazing) photography exhibition and when we were done with that we wondered next door into the connecting print studio. Looking through the racks of prints thinking maybe I would find one for our house (ha! Maybe if I sold a kidney. Or a baby.) I came across these prints by Helen Fay and I could not stop coming back to them. In theory you wouldn't think that prints of dogs and penguins shouldn't be much more than 'kind of cute' and then passed over for something a little grittier, but these penguins and dogs really grabbed me. There's something so moving about them, so soulful. There's nobility and strength and perseverance; solitude, struggle, dignity. For reals. The Glasgow Print Studio only had a couple of pictures but when I came home and looked up Helen Fay's website, her etchings of apes and monkeys quite literally made a lump rise in my throat. How can they be so emotive? I don't understand. All I know is that they might just be worth selling a kidney for. Any takers?

If he was anything like Durant, he would have more of an offensive game which he lacks at the the moment. Most of his points right now are from put backs, alley opps, and hook-shots.
Camby had a late growth spurt, was able to bring the ball up, athletic, defensive game changer. I still say Camby.
Fair enough. Most analysts are going with the Camby comparison, but I see Davis' offensive game being far more dangerous than the 12ish PPG of Camby. I also recognize the instincts on defense, but he's shorter than Camby and I just don't see him dominating the defensive end like Camby at a pro level. So maybe not Kevin Durant per say... Maybe more like a taller, beastlier Tayshaun. Athletic, long, good defensive instincts... But a more wing-oriented offensive game than Camby.
