A Take on the Israeli/Palestinian ConflictRabbi Ed Romm I was debating what approach to take writing about the Israeli/Palestinian Conflict. I have decided to approach the topic from a personal point of view and not worry about being politically correct. The ideas expressed are my own. Before the current intifada broke out, I felt like I was living in paradise. The economy was growing, tourists were flooding the country and despite continued acts of terrorism, we felt like we were indeed part of a new Middle East. Relations between average Israelis and Palestinians were, for the most part, good. Then the intifada broke our "bubble." After recovering from the initial shock of the Palestinian uprising, we learned that the Palestinian Authority had planned this all along. Now I look at the Oslo Accord as a "Trojan Horse." 'I call to account the Palestinian Authority'
I do believe and acknowledge that the Palestinians are suffering, just as we are suffering. We should strive to put an end to suffering on all sides. We have made mistakes over the years in our dealings with the Arabs. However, I call to account the Palestinian leadership for this current situation. One only has to see the official Palestinian Authority TV broadcasts and programs to understand how a totalitarian regime manipulates public opinion and incites violence. They fund terrorism and hatred, instead of providing basic services and a stable infrastructure for their people. They like to use the term "Israeli occupation" as the root of the problem. That has become one of the mantras of the P.A. One only has to remember that the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) was founded two years before Israel ever "occupied territories" and that these territories were under Jordanian and Egyptian administration (not Palestinian -- there was no Palestinian entity at the time) and fell into Israeli hands as a result of a war of annihilation waged by the Arab nations against Israel in the Six Day War. Sorry, we won! The negation of all moral principles Today, civilized society all over the world is waging a struggle against nihilism. The word comes from the Latin "nihil," meaning, "nothing" and the approach constitutes a real danger by its negation of all moral principles. It is a justification of terror and destruction as a means to attain set goals. Homicidal bombers include the cynical use of children wearing explosive belts to strike out at innocent civilians, the commandeering of civilian aircraft and using them as instruments of death, unleashing weapons of mass destruction and the blowing up of busses and trains. These represent a problem for the entire world, not only Israel. It is painful to talk about the people I personally know -- friends -- who have been killed since the outbreak of the intifada. On a Friday night, a few weeks ago, there was a drive-by shooting in my neighborhood. A Christian Arab student out jogging was shot to death. Arafat's al-Aksa Brigade apologized to the Arab family by saying that they meant to kill a Jew and declared the student a "shahid (martyr) as if he was killed by the Israelis." At the funeral the father said that his son is not a "shahid." His son is an "angel." The Palestinian Authority has to stop terrorizing their own people as well: using children as human bombs, arbitrary execution and torture of civilians, kangaroo courts (courts for appearances, rather than actually doling out justice), allowing women to be abused and dehumanized because they are women -- and many other crimes against civilization as well as humanity. I do not know what the future holds in store for any of us. We live in a complicated world. We will all have to compromise in the end and learn how to live together. What we need are rational people to stand up and say that terrorism is sick and there is no justification for it, on both sides of the issue. Once that takes place, we can sit down and talk!

Historically, golf has always been considered as a gentle sport that required little or no aptitude for physical fitness. Throughout previous generations, prominent players such as Jon Daly cared little for nutrition or the importance of intense physical fitness, as they relied on natural talent and skill alone to succeed.
Had a terrible day at the golf course? Fear not it could have been worse, here's the story of the worse round of golf ever. And if you've had one worse than this, maybe it's time to find a new hobby.
If you are like me, and December through February are bitterly cold months, you may find that some of your fundamentals suffer from time away from the game. Since my first post happens to take place during this time of year I thought it would be good to cover a way to practice while in the living room watching TV.
Everyone who picks up a golf club dreams of one day playing on one of the most beautiful courses in the world. You watch your heroes on television playing the sport they love surrounded by some amazing scenery and it's no wonder you want to be just like them.

New Fence Review by Patrick
Price Value Quality This 3 ft high fence was great for my backyard. We have a rabbit enclosure with several bunnies. I put up the fence around it, so there is about 3 ft of space on each side. Now my daugthers can let the bunnies loose in the surrounding area and not worry about them getting away. The fence looks great with the rest of the backyard too. (Posted on 11/2/11)

Dell Wasabi adds spice to portable printing
Sure, Polaroid might be 6 feet under (or is it?), but casual photo enthusiasts can still enjoy instant gratification with Dell's Dell Wasabi PZ310 Mobile Printer, just announced today.
The Wasabi uses Zero-Ink (ZINK) technology that replaces cumbersome print cartridges with dye crystals embedded right into the proprietary ZINK paper. The crystals are heated as the paper passes through the printer, rendering clear, sharp images in less than a minute for each 2-inch by 3-inch photo.
ZINK also licenses its technology to other companies for their own unique products. For example, look for cameras and ZINK printers to converge … Read more

Two Corn Chips
OK, I hope this link works...this has been around since March, but I recently saw it on facebook and it gets me every time I watch it. It's so simple and cheesy, but it makes me laugh out loud, a lot!! I think it's the way the wife is having trouble with the story, and the animation is great!
