2014 Pleasure Way Pursuit Review
The Pleasure-Way Pursuit is a product born out of trial and error. This Canadian motorhome manufacturer spent years crafting recreational vehicles that had both style and functionality while collecting feedback from loyal customers. The Pursuit is a by-product of that process. Consumers wanted a Class-B style home with a slightly larger base. Pleasure-Way met that challenge with their 22' Pursuit.
Going Inside
There are three key features to take note of when entering the Pursuit. (more…)
2013 Pleasure Way Pursuit Class B Plus Motorhome Walkthrough
You might have already read about the Pleasure-Way Pursuit, how it goes above and beyond many other Class B Motorhomes. Now you can see just how great this Class B-Plus motorhome really is with this fantastic walkthrough.
Go Camping for Fathers Day
With the cold days gone and temperatures rising, why not consider a camping trip for Father's Day. Spending the day in your Class B Motorhome provides the opportunity for breathing fresh air, feeling the warm rays of the sun and enjoying some spectacular scenery. Spend special one-on-one time with Dad while boating, fishing or hiking. Many family operated campgrounds around the country create unique events in celebration of the day.
At Little Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, the Bakers Acres Camping facility features relay races not found anywhere else. The Diaper Change Race provides fathers with the opportunity of displaying their childcare skills, as men race along a course with dolls in strollers. Stopping at the changing station, they remove and replace mock dirty diapers and run back to the finish line.
Another race offered by the destination has dads competing in meal preparation. While dressed in bathrobes, slippers and hairnets, each father fashions a peanut butter and jelly sandwich accompanied by a glass of juice for each of their children. As the children sit at a distant table loudly complaining of hunger, the men may only deliver one food item at a time. The man completing the task first wins the race.
All enjoy a trivia game where fathers must answer questions based on children's culture. Questions might include naming cartoon characters or naming celebrities of popular children's television shows. The event promises side-splitting humor for all. Other competitions occurring during the fun-filled weekend include a baked bean contest and a s'mores feast around the campfire.
Other campgrounds hosting special Father's Day events around the United States include:
Buttonwood Campground in Mexico, Pennsylvania, which offers fathers a special breakfast. The location also hosts a pedal toy race comprised of father and child teams.
Frontier Town Campground in Ocean City, Maryland, hosts a father/child look-alike competition along with a hairy leg contest.
Lake Bluff Campground in Wolcott, New York, hosts a strawberry shortcake eating competition along with a fishing tournament and a Giga ball rolling event along with other activities.
Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort & Marina in Newport Beach, California, offers many different events throughout the weekend that include a DIY cardboard boat race.
Pine Acres Campground in Oakham, Massachusetts, features a fishing contest along with an ugly tie competition.
Smoky Hollow Campground in Lodi, Wisconsin offers kids the chance to make gifts for their dad along with holding a redneck invention competition.
Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Harrisville, Pennsylvania has a father/child miniature golf competition along with horseshoe contests and a free breakfast.
Roadtrek N6 Active
The Roadtrek N6 Active is the latest state-of-the-art product released by the Canadian-based company. Centered around a Nissan NV2500 HD chassis, the N6 Active RV is propelled by the same 5.6 liter V8 engine and transmission found in Nissan's Titan pickup truck, and it also features the truck's same rugged boxed ladder frame. However, the upgraded suspension featured on the N6 is much more plush and similar to driving a Cadillac.
It may be a plush ride, but this bad boy of a vehicle cannot be accused of being soft. In fact, this revolutionary Class B motorhome has a cargo-carrying capacity of over 1,200 pounds, which is more than enough for six people and plenty of travel gear. Furthermore, it can tow up to 7950 pounds of boats, jeeps, or whatever toys a consumer can imagine. This makes it a terrific transportation option for those classic family vacations. (more…)
Pleasure-Way Pursuit Class B Motorhome
Pleasure-Way has rolled out a new line of RVs, it's first ever B-Plus class motorhome. Straddling the economy of the B class and the luxury of the C class, the Pleasure-Way Pursuit provides something of the best of both worlds.
The Pursuit is built on a Ford E350 dual rear wheel cutaway chassis, giving it a 22 foot length. This is ideal for consumers who are looking for something roomier than the standard B class economy model without having the bus-like size of the C class. This means that it has room to stretch out in comfortably for a small family or couple, while not requiring special experience or training to operate. The smaller size makes if more fuel efficient as well. The Pursuit comes in at 13 to 15 miles per gallon on the highway, depending on the load, which is rather good for vehicles of its size. (more…)
Visit the Daytona 500 in a Roadtrek Class B Motorhome
The Daytona 500 is the Big One: Speedweeks finale, largest purse on the NASCAR circuit (two million dollars!), and the most watched motor race in America. All NASCAR fans have dreamt of a trip to Daytona Beach for the "Superbowl of Stock Car Racing", and some return year after year, but many prospective and first time visitors find themselves turned off by the hassles and high prices of the limited local accommodations. Anyone frustrated with the choice between crowded campgrounds and expensive hotels, should consider the affordable alternative of bringing their own home; a Roadtrek Motorhome.
The Roadtrek has been the best-selling class B motorhome in America for over twenty years, and is known as reliable and roomy choice for any family. Sleeping up to four (including king-sized master-bedroom) with its own kitchen, changing room, bathroom, and (in most models) private eating nook, the Roadtrek offers all the amenities of a full-size RV with the fuel economy of a smaller vehicle. The Roadtrek is the perfect choice for modern American road-tripping; an affordable vehicle that has interior space and luxury like a motorhome but gas-mileage and handling comparable to a regular SUV or van.
There will be 200,000 or more visitors at Daytona this year for "The Great American Race", and they all need someplace to stay. Hotels and motels fill up fast and often demand that reservations be made far in advance, so arriving in a motorhome is a good choice for those who want to go at their own pace while saving money. There are many options for motorhome hook-ups in Daytona, including International Campgrounds and RV Park, Finishline RV, and South Daytona RV Park and Botanical Gardens. All have basic hook-ups and most include extras like swimming pool, laundry service, and wi-fi. Although varying in price, location, and amenities, they (and a dozen others in the greater Daytona Beach area) are all considerably cheaper than staying in a motel and offer more comfort and luxury than trying to camp out with just a car or van.
Although the Big Race is the big draw for most visitors, there are plenty of things to do before and after the race. As the name suggests, Daytona is well-known for gorgeous beaches, but families looking for freshwater fun may also enjoy Daytona Lagoon, a massive waterpark with twelve rides, two miniature golf courses, and several swimming pools. Daytona also has many buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as museums of photography, science, and local history. Of course, Orlando is only an hour away, so visiting mammoth parks and attractions like Disney World and Universal Studios is always a possibility before, during, or after Speedweeks.
All NASCAR fans should take a trip to the Daytona 500 at least once in their lives, and with the comfort and affordability of traveling in a Roadtrek Motorhome, this could be the year for many who might not have dreamed it.
What do You Need? A Conversion Van or Class B Motorhome.
At first glance, a conversion van and a Class B motor home may look very similar. Both are based on commercially produced vans manufactured by major automakers. However, the levels of modifications vary and the two classes of vehicles serve two separate purposes. A purchaser looking for the features of a conversion van would not be happy with a Class B motor home.
Conversion Vans
The conversion van starts with a basic commercially produced van and adds after-market accessories. Companies specializing in the conversion van market commonly add these accessories although some vans are still converted as do-it-yourself projects. Dealers often use the conversion van company name when marketing these vans.
A conversion travel van can include a raised roof sometimes known as a "high top." This makes it easier to move around within the van. Other features commonly added include luxury seating, entertainment centers including televisions and stereos, coolers or refrigerators and mood lighting. This type of conversion van makes long road trips more comfortable especially for larger groups. Some conversion vans offer comfortable seating for as many as eight people.
Conversion vans serve a number of specialized purposes along with offering road-trip comfort. Some conversion vans are equipped to provide access to people who utilize wheelchairs for mobility. These conversions commonly include lifts for wheelchairs and special brackets to hold the wheelchair stable during travel.
Some specially equipped conversion vans serve as mobile workplaces. These vans often include raised roofs to make it easier for workers to move about. Often the vans receive specialized upgrades specific to the workers using the vehicle. This can include cell phone and mobile computer connectivity for a salesman or satellite communications equipment for a remote television crew.
Class B Motor Homes
A Class B motor home utilizes the body of the van as the exterior of the vehicle. Almost all of Class B motorhomes feature a raised roof allowing the traveler to walk around within the vehicle. The rear portion of the van serves as the living quarters of the motor home and often features seating the folds out into a bed, a cooler or refrigerator, a dining table and entertainment items such as a television or stereo. Some Class B motor homes offer a toilet but few offer any shower facilities.
Class B motor homes offer the most economical camping experience for the recreational vehicle enthusiast. The vehicles can be used as a second vehicle by the family and can be parked in a normal garage or parking spot. Other advantages include better fuel economy than most recreational vehicles, an ease of driving not found in larger campers and a lower cost of acquisition.
This vehicle does have some limitations as a recreational vehicle. The Class B motor home offers comfortable camping for two people although some campers offer enough space for one or two children as well. The campers provide little storage space for the recreational items and camping supplies and are usually limited to short camping excursions.
Common Traits
Conversion vans and Class B motor homes are both commonly based upon full-sized vans. This makes the vehicles capable of towing trailers, if necessary. Dealers and maintenance shops associated with the van manufacturer can handle maintenance to the engine and drive train. Both versions of the van have become popular with people who "tailgate" or picnic in the parking lots of sporting events because of the comfort and amenities they offer.
Going to the Big Game in a Class B Motorhome
Traveling to New Orleans to attend the Big Game in February 2013 will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for all involved. One way to make the experience even more fun and memorable for a group of family and friends would be to make the journey in a Class B van. A Class B motorhome's size makes it both compact enough to conveniently maneuver yet spacious enough to comfortably transport loved ones and accommodate guests for a massive tailgate party or a small gathering before the big game.
Class B motorhomes offer the maneuverability of a large van coupled with the convenience of a full sized recreational vehicle. Most newer model Class B motorhomes have a height of between nine and ten feet. The widths on newer models run between six and seven feet, and the lengths of the homes run between eighteen and twenty feet. Most class B motorhomes can sleep two to four people, so they are ideal for an immediate family's trip to the The Big Game. Newer models have a freshwater capacity of between twenty-five and thirty gallons, a gray water capacity of up to twenty gallons, and a black water capacity of up to ten gallons. The interior packages of the newer class B motorhomes are customizable to individual needs. Most come with a spacious area for the driver with an interface similar to that of a standard Sport Utility Vehicle. Some even come with a convenient five-inch rearview camera to assist with backing and parking, a major convenience when considering the traffic and parking situations that will infiltrate New Orleans in February. Class B motorhomes can also come with hand-made cabinetry, couches, stoves, refrigerators, sinks, and high-definition televisions, a great option for watching the pre game coverage by the sports analysts.
The Big Game is scheduled for Sunday, February 3, 2013 and will be played at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. This will mark the tenth time New Orleans has hosted the The Big Game, the most of any city. However, this will be the first time New Orleans has hosted a The Big Game since the Superdome's damage from 2005′s Hurricane Katrina and since its major renovations in 2011 including the selling of the naming rights to Mercedes-Benz and the addition of Champions Square, an outdoor, 121,000-square-foot plaza that is sure to be the site of much excitement come The Big Game weekend.
The festivities associated with the The Big Game are slated to begin on Tuesday, January 29 with the annual The Big Game media day. For only the second time in history, a limited number of spectator tickets were made available for the media event for the The Big Game where players, coaches, and performers associated with the game and halftime show are interviewed by the press. Unfortunately, however, there are no parking lots that are advertised as being available for motor homes for the media day event
Fortunately, there are activity options for Class B motorhomes in the New Orleans area. There is a KOA campground in the New Orleans area that offers several amenities including fishing options and several golf courses nearby. A secluded campground will offer great preparation for the exciting The Big Game weekend ahead.
Parking for Class B Motorhomes will be limited on The Big Game Sunday, with only three lots offering parking for recreational vehicles. Two of the lots are located five blocks away (north and east of the Superdome), and one is located four blocks north of the Superdome. The lot five blocks north costs $650, the one five blocks east costs $1125, and the one four blocks north costs $75. All three parking lots allow tailgating, a The Big Game tradition that will be made all the better with a Class B Motorhome.
Escaping the Winter in my Roadtrek Class B Van
I own a Class B RV—a Roadtrek 210. For two years I have roamed the country, Midwest and Deep South, with shorter trips into Ohio, New York, the Middle Atlantic states, and New England destinations. My Roadtrek 210 has taken me away from the "frozen north" into the "hospitable south" and provided weeks of extraordinary luxury.
The Roadtrek Class B Van is just what the doctor ordered. It's built on a Chevy, gives me outstanding gas mileage, and provides all the necessary comforts of home on the road. Granted, it isn't as spacious as a Class A diesel pusher, but that's okay: I don't need a Jacuzzi on the road, and my wife and I, now in retirement, have long since "graduated" our children to RVs of their own. And then that diesel gets all of six miles to the gallon, a major problem with what fuel sells for now.
It has heat; it has A/C. It's got a sound system and cable provisions. It doesn't have a luxurious bathroom, but it's sufficient for our needs when other alternatives are not available. We have a spacious kitchen and serving area (so long as we're not both standing there at the same time). And we can move around without having to bend.
We have the same king-sized bed we have at home. We're just careful to raise the back bumper to elevate our bodies when sleeping. The captain's chairs are comfortable to ride in and to swivel and play games. We've modified our 210 to remove one of the chairs and replace it with cabinets. When we travel, and because we don't have children with us, we want as much closet space as we can get. There's no overhead bunk space to waste and every possible cubic inch of space inside the RV is well-planned and fully-used.
The unit comes equipped with both 12V DC and 110V AC. It has an installed generator that runs the microwave and other electronics when we're not connected at a campground. There's enough water onboard for dishes and flushes; there's enough propane to cook all the meals we need to. And a refrigerator that operates on 12V, 110V, and propane adds to the mix.
Outside, there's a very large awning. It allows a table and chairs to be set and protects us from most of the rain and all of the sun. We have added screening for when the double-wing doors are open.
Where can we go? Anywhere. We do trips before the white stuff begins to fall. I could drive it in the snow, but why bother? We climb into it, point the nose south, and take on a new annual adventure. What can we do when we get there? That's why I carry my laptop and put it on local websites for interesting places to visit and outstanding places to eat.
And the very best part of all? This Roadtrek Class B Van fits in a single parking space. We can overnight in a retailer's parking lot. We can take it downtown to run errands. Even when we're connected at a campground, we're free to move back on the road and to a new adventure in mere minutes.
Entertainment Options for A Class B Motorhome
Dreams of having a mobile entertainment hot spot can be at the tips of your fingers. This is a possibility when turning a class b motorhome into a mobile entertainment hotspot. Conversion vans are wonderful for creating mobile hot spots. There several reasons why.
The first is that there is a lot of room inside of this vehicle to hold the equipment necessary for entertainment. Secondly, the size is big enough to fit a lot of entertainment inside yet small enough to be mobile. This means that with a little bit of the imagination a true entertainment Mogul can convert a class b motorhome into the city's best entertainment hotspot.
This is a time when making money is very important to many families, having a class b motorhome is a wonderful money maker. There are several different types of entertainment options that a class b motorhome owner can use in order to turn their vehicle into cash in their pocket.
Mobile Internet Café and Study Groups
Having an internet cafe is very important for many reasons there are many individuals who do not have access to the internet in their homes. A mobile internet café would mean that the class b motorhome would have to have WI-if installed. A wonderful idea for the café is to host study groups or parties for colleges. High school, standardize test, and other study group parties would also be great uses for the café. Hosting internet cafe study groups are awesome money makers in cities with large college populations.
Karaoke Bars and Amateur Talent Nights
Another option for a class b motorhome entertainment spot is a karaoke bar. This is an event that could create an outdoor club type atmosphere without the overhead. Filling the vehicle with audio equipment will attract customers passing by to take advantage of singing and dancing to their favorite song. Having snacks or drinks available will increase profits. Sponsoring talent nights can give customers an alternative to visiting the same clubs and inspire visits by winning prizes. Who doesn't like to watch local talent? Hosting birthday parties and other social parties can bring singing and dancing right to the doorstep of guests.
Mobile Movie Theater and Love Mobile
A movie theater is a wonderful idea for this type of vehicle. For individuals and who are interested in having a private romantic time. For customers, riding in the back of a class b motorhome while watching a movie can create those 1960's drive in theater feeling. The greatest quality is that there is someone driving the customer around so they can sit back and enjoy themselves.
Gaming Competitions
In today's world, everybody's looking for that gaming partner. Hosting a gaming center is ideal for conversion vans. Having the inside draped in black will create a cozy effect to make the gamer feel like they are in the game. Hosting competitions along with game debuts will generate the profit that any mobile business needs.

A New Ulm Cathedral graduate flew across the country on Friday to take part in the "Minnesota Air Spectacular" air show in Mankato this weekend. David Franta is a US Marine currently training to fly F-18 jets, the same aircraft flown by the world-famous Blue Angels. He was flying into Mankato Friday evening. His father, Jeff Franta says it was a stroke of luck that brought David back to the area. His flight instructor reportedly asked him to fly to Mankato for the air show as part of his training, not realizing that Franta was from the local area. Franta was flying a T-45 Goshawk training jet into Mankato. That aircraft will then be on display throughout the Mankato air show, which takes place today (SAT) and Sunday at the Mankato Regional Airport beginning at 11am both days.

FaceTime Offers Internet Edition of Gateway Security Appliance
FaceTime Offers Internet Edition of Gateway Security Appliance
Matt Hines
Posted 2006-11-14
The company says its latest security appliance provides increased protection against both malware and internal threats by adding control over Web-based communications systems.
FaceTime Communications introduced a new version of its gateway security appliance on Nov. 14, adding new tools for protecting against malware attacks while limiting end users access to Web-based communications systems. Dubbed FaceTime Internet Security Edition, the product is due out at the end of November and offers a range of upgrades over existing security hardware devices from the company, based in Foster City, Calif. By combining gateway security tools such as Web filtering and anti-spyware applications with its new messaging security features, FaceTime contends, the devices simplify management of multiple IT defense systems, saving companies time and money.
For advice on how to secure your network and applications, as well as the latest security news, visit Ziff Davis Internets
Security IT Hub
FaceTime has described Internet Security Edition as an integrated security platform for protecting against both malware and legitimate applications that companies may not want users to adopt, including public IM (instant messaging) systems, Web conferencing software, peer-to-peer file sharing systems and VOIP (voice over IP) tools. According to a study published by FaceTime and research firm NewDiligence in November 2006, 83 percent of all enterprise workers are using one or more of these popular Web-based communications applications.

to read an eWEEK Labs review of FaceTimes Real-Time Guardian 500 appliance.
According to FaceTime, the Internet Security Edition appliance prevents users from opening themselves up to attack from external threats, while minimizing the potential for internal data leakage and limiting employees Web usage. The system also helps firms manage regulatory compliance by blocking access to external communications systems, company officials said. "The large companies building these types of communications systems want as many people as possible to use their products, so they engineer them to tunnel through firewalls and other traditional security systems," said Kailash Ambwani, chief executive of FaceTime. "This is in direct conflict with the work of IT managers who need to control access to IM, file sharing and VOIP in order to protect their companies against malware and internal data leakage." Some of the specific features added in Internet Security Edition are FaceTimes RTGuardian perimeter security application for managing Web filtering and anti-malware tools, along with the use of IM and P2P systems. The appliance, which will market at a starting price of $7,125, also features the companys GEM (Greynet Enterprise Manager), which is pitched as a centralized management, reporting and control server inside a LAN, allowing companies to remediate infected endpoint devices. The appliance also offers automatic updates from the firms FaceTime Security Labs, meant to help protect companies against the latest malware attacks.

Before the holiday season, there were widespread predictions that the liquor industry's decision to lift its policy against advertising on television would saturate the airwaves with images of a seductive James Bond shaking martinis, sending children to the bottle.
No flood of liquor commercials has materialized, however, in part because the major broadcast networks have refused to accept them. But by provoking the public with visions of such advertisements, the distillers have left the alcohol industry shaken, if not stirred -- much like Mr. Bond's martinis.
The decision to end the voluntary policy against television advertising has so rattled regulators and politicians that it has forced a re-examination of all alcohol advertising, much of which appears in sports programming, which has a huge percentage of viewers who are younger than the legal drinking age.
And, at a time when the politically powerful beer industry has been hoping to persuade Congress to reduce the excise tax on beer, the distillers' move has also prompted talk of raising taxes on all alcoholic beverages, requiring public service messages against alcohol and, in the most extreme scenario, banning commercials for beer and wine along with liquor.

I received some fan mail two weeks ago that I've been meaning to indulge. It was from George Brooks, an African-American minister from Tennessee who has been leading a campaign against the re-election of U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, the only white congressman from a predominantly black district.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal says Cohen is the best candidate for Congress. But though he authored a resolution passed yesterday by the House that apologized for slavery, Cohen's whiteness has been a major distraction.
To boot, Cohen is a Cohen, and Memphis is in the South and, well, black-Jewish relations just aren't what they used to be. This winter, the self-righteous Rev. Brooks distributed the incredibly inflammatory flier at left (hi-res). Subtlety, we can be sure, is not Brooks' forte.
In the envelope I received this month, Brooks had toned down his message. One flier, picturing the side-by-side mugs of Cohen and a black Jesus, carried this headline: "I LOUDLY repeat: Steve Cohen is 'ANTI-JESUS' And dere ain't nuttin' anti-Semitic 'bout dat, it is the TRUTH!" The other blamed Jews, via Cohen's proxy, for a few really vile social ills—the Tennessee Lottery and an initiative to legalize medical marijuana nationwide.
And Barack Obama's camp thinks they've had to deal with smear campaigns ...
The third sheet of paper was addressed to me, but my name had cleared by filled into a template Brooks sends to those identifies as his Jewish foes:
"Just a brief note, because I know my words fall on death [sic] ears when even suggesting or hinting at Jews, such as yourself, to be truthful about Jewish beliefs concerning Jesus. But prefer to just whine and cry that same old blues song, 'Anti-Semitism.'"
So many things wrong with that paragraph, from spelling and syntax to arrogance and inaccuracy, I don't even know where to start.

Haaretz Weekend Magazine has a fantastic profile coming up on Masab Yousef, whose father is the top Hamas leader in the West Bank. The younger Yousef, who once assisted his father politically, has moved to California and converted to Christianity. If that didn't stop you dead in your tracks, this will: "Send regards to Israel, I miss it. I respect Israel and admire it as a country."
A preview of the profile was published online today, and it's clear Yousef is new wine in new wineskins. Thanks to Big Mike for sending this along. I can't wait to read the rest of the article, but I'll have to. Hopefully this excerpt will hold us over until then:
"I know that I'm endangering my life and am even liable to lose my father, but I hope that he'll understand this and that God will give him and my family patience and willingness to open their eyes to Jesus and to Christianity. Maybe one day I'll be able to return to Palestine and to Ramallah with Jesus, in the Kingdom of God."
Nor does he attempt to hide his affection for Israel, or his abhorrence of everything representing the surroundings in which he grew up: the nation, the religion, the organization.
"Send regards to Israel, I miss it. I respect Israel and admire it as a country," he says.
"You Jews should be aware: You will never, but never have peace with Hamas. Islam, as the ideology that guides them, will not allow them to achieve a peace agreement with the Jews. They believe that tradition says that the Prophet Mohammed fought against the Jews and that therefore they must continue to fight them to the death."
Is that the justification for the suicide attacks?
"More than that. An entire society sanctifies death and the suicide terrorists. In Palestinian culture a suicide terrorist becomes a hero, a martyr. Sheikhs tell their students about the 'heroism of the shaheeds.'"
And yet, in spite of the criticism of the place he left, California can't make the longings disappear.
"I miss Ramallah," he says. "People with an open mind. ... I mainly miss my mother, my brothers and sisters, but I know that it will be very difficult for me to return to Ramallah soon."
It would be a mistake to see this as some sort of watershed moment. But it is a prime example of the power of religion, both for good and evil. We are so moved philosophically by He whom we place our faith in. And history offers testimony to how different visions of one God can produce a lot, a lot of bloodshed.
Yusef is Arabic for Joseph, but because of that guy who wore the technicolor dreamcoat it seems an even more fitting new name for this stranger in a stranger land.

Talk about a heady life choice: King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia brings Muslims and Christians and Jews together this month for the unimaginatively named World Conference on Dialogue, and for it he's deemed an apostate who must die. What a guy, right? And you thought the king was just another despot who doesn't allow synagogues or churches in his country ...
The heat King Abdullah received didn't completely assuage concerns about ulterior motives behind the conference, which was held this month and concluded with the Madrid Declaration. But Rabbi David Rosen, the American Jewish Committee's international director of interreligious affairs, writes in a column for JTA that importance of this moment should not be "underestimated":
At the end of the opening, King Abdullah greeted the guests individually. When my turn came, I introduced myself to him saying in my limited Arabic, "I am Rabbi Rosen from Jerusalem, Israel," and he replied "Ahalan w'asalan"—welcome—but I could see that those around him almost had heart attacks on the spot.
Members of the Jewish delegation were interviewed incessantly by the Arab media. Several Arab figures came up to us and said they had never met a Jew, let alone a rabbi, and would like to ask us questions.
Many of the questions reflected stunning prejudice, distortions and misconceptions, but the very fact that they could vent them to us—almost innocently—presented opportunities to address the misrepresentations and try to overcome them. ...
The highest authority in the very heartland of Islam has taken a lead in interfaith outreach, whatever his motives might be, with the declared intention of addressing contemporary challenges and resolving conflict. This offers Israel, the Jewish people and the West a significant opportunity that must be seized.
Now, if we could just do something about those Saudi textbooks.

A month on, Joe Klein is still catching a ton of heat for his claim of Jewish dual-loyalties.
"Joe Klein is no Kappo, Just a Low-Life Scumbag," is the headline from Yid With Lid.
"To say it is a badge of honor to stand in opposition to a person as manifestly intellectually unstable as Joe Klein has become is to understate the case," writes John Podhoretz, the editor of Commentary, which Klein singled out. "As for his use of classic anti-Semitic canards, I am happy to report that the Jewish people will long survive Joe Klein. The question is, will Time Magazine?"
The "controversy" is all a bit overblown to me, which I stated back when this all began. His main point was that Jewish neoconservatives—there are non-Jewish neocons—led the United States into a needless war in Iraq. While it's true advisers like Wolfowitz and Feith were prominent voices in President Bush's head, they were not the only, and they definitely weren't named Rumsfeld or Cheney.
"More importantly," I wrote, "American foreign policy for the past almost four decades has held that Israel's best interest is in the U.S.'s best interest. In other words, if the protection of the Jewish state from Saddam's whims played a role in the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq—an ill-advised act at that—it likely has as much to do with American policy as American Jewish interest or, as Joe Klein called it, dual loyalty."
I'm sure this all would have blown over, but the Anti-Defamation League's chief Abe Foxman decided to get involved—Bill Donahue, anyone?—and the folks at Commentary haven't let it go. Klein, for his part, only seems to be adding fuel to the fire. Here he is singling out his "extremist" foes:
I don't think a war with Iran is coming, thank God, but this time I am not going to pull any punches. My voice isn't very important in the grand scheme of things, but I'm going to do my job—and that means letting you know exactly where I stand and what I believe. I believe there are a small group of Jewish neoconservatives who are pushing for war with Iran because they believe it is in America's long-term interests and because they believe Israel's existence is at stake. They are wrong and recent history tells us they are dangerous. They are also bullies and I'm not going to be intimidated by them.

The Los Angeles Times has already become a parody of itself, but in case you hadn't gotten the joke, check out Roy Rivenburg's new faux-news site, Fake L.A. Times.
The site reports that San Diego has been sold to ease the state budget woes, that the Times has fired the rest of the staff, though Steve Lopez remains amused with his own superior columnizing (he is good) and that Texas' real-life Big Love Mormons have penned a deal with HBO, tentatively called "Sect and the City" Rivenburg also reports that social conservatives were right: Allowing gays to marry did indeed open the floodgates, and the courts since determined Paris Hilton and a dolphin could wed.
The site also includes a handful of blogs, including one from Crazy Lee Abrams, who looks strikingly like Borat. I don't think the site is much of a money maker—that's not really satire—but there are ads promoting "iCoffin" and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Cathedral." And, also like the real Times, there is an apology to P. Diddy:
Oops, they did it again. For the second time this year, the Los Angeles Times has retracted a story that connected hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs to a high-profile shooting.
In April, the newspaper apologized for hinting that Combs ordered an attack on rap artist Tupac Shakur in 1994. The mea culpa was issued after TheSmokingGun.com pointed out that a key document in the article should have been spotted as a hoax.
Now, the newspaper is backtracking again, this time on its claim that Combs met with Lee Harvey Oswald two hours before President John F. Kennedy was gunned down in 1963. The Times based its story on data retrieved from Oswald's PalmPilot.
After The Smoking Gun pointed out that PalmPilots weren't invented until the 1990s – and that, technically speaking, Combs wasn't alive in 1963 – the Times launched an internal investigation. Two days later, the paper retracted the article.
Rivenburg, who spent 15 years at the Times and got out before things got really, really, really bad, either isn't suffering from survivor guilt or does a good job appearing otherwise. He is, however, a very funny guy and remains the author of one very memorable and controversial profile disputing the incredible tales of speech-coach-to-the-stars Michel Thomas.
In other L.A. Times news, Sam Zell, the newish owner of the parent Tribune Co., isn't denying that the LA Times is in hell. He tells BusinessWeek, which like the Times now piles up by my front door: "It will continue to be the deal from hell until we turn it around."
To be clear, Zell's idea of "turning it around" has thus far proven unpalatable to concerned Angelenos.

The Associated Press today followed the story I wrote in June about Latino pastors being taken to Israel by the American Jewish Committee, which was a follow-up to another story about them celebrating Sukkot in September. I wish I could point to something new in their piece, but there's not. Their sources were mostly my sources; their story looks a lot like my story.
So instead I am forced to pettiness and the need to let you know I had it first. (Yes, I was better at sorting through my press release e-mail.) I never blogged about the Latino pastors' trip, so I guess that's my excuse for this post. Some of my June story is after the jump:

"So avoid using the word 'very' because it's lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don't use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It also won't do in your essays."—John Keating (via how-novelistic)
a friend's humble opinion:
>it is so peaceful to look at and very diverse and colorful, it pours out those things including love, it shows a lot of pictures of a man and woman together, but also a woman on her own a lot with her own style, a woman who fears God and respects and loves Him as well, and is not afraid to share her belief with the world, just my humble opinion
>one more thing…
>she also appreciates the gifts that we are given like sunsets and natural beauty that comes from what is all around us that we sometimes don't notice. Go on with your bad self Resolute Woman!!!!

Syfy's 'Total Blackout': Contestants Get Jittery in the Dark (Exclusive Video)
Hosted by Jaleel White, this week's episode features a contestant who should probably stick to brightly-lit rooms.
In Syfy's Total Blackout, hosted by recently-eliminated Dancing With the Stars contender Jaleel White, contestants are forced to face their ultimate fears in complete darkness.
Tonight's episode, "Touch, Sniff & Answer," features Michael, who in the span of less than 90 seconds has at least five separate freakout moments while White's booming voice towers into the dark room, and Ingrid, who unknowingly touches a man's head but she believes it's a porcupine.
As seen in the exclusive clip to The Hollywood Reporter from the episode, Michael is levels above Ingrid on the "frightened" ladder. At times, he isn't even close to the mice or the snake.
This isn't going to end well.
The half-hour extreme game show pits contestants against each other as they battle their fears in a series of challenges, all played in darkness.
Total Blackout airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on Syfy.

Award-winning magazine Clean Solutions for the Business of the Environment Sign up for Digital Edition
OTTAWA, Jan. 27, 2013 /CNW/ - Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA) extends its congratulations to Ontario Premier-designate Kathleen Wynne and stands ready to continue to make Ontario a North American leader in the generation of clean, affordable electricity, new jobs and rural economic investments.
"We look forward to engaging with Premier-designate Wynne and working collaboratively to ensure Ontario continues to attract new investments, create new manufacturing jobs, and provide Ontarians with the clean and flexible electricity system they want," said Robert Hornung, president of CanWEA. "As Canada's leader in the production of wind energy, Ontario now meets about 3 per cent of its electricity demand with wind. The growth of wind energy has injected hundreds of millions of dollars into communities across the province, allowed landowners and farmers to participate directly in a clean energy economy, helped once-ailing manufacturing facilities diversify, and provided good home-grown jobs for college graduates. With a stable policy environment, wind energy can deliver even more benefits to Ontario."
Ontario currently has over 2,000 MW of installed wind energy capacity - about enough to power 600,000 average homes with emissions-free power.
About CanWEA
CanWEA is the voice of Canada's wind energy industry, actively promoting the responsible and sustainable growth of wind energy on behalf of its almost 400 members. A national non-profit association, CanWEA serves as Canada's leading source of credible information about wind energy and its social, economic and environmental benefits. To join other global leaders in the wind energy industry, CanWEA believes Canada can and must reach its target of producing 20 per cent or more of the country's electricity from wind by 2025. The document Wind Vision 2025 - Powering Canada's Future is available at www.canwea.ca.

Michael Jackson's disgraced doctor Conrad Murray has walked free from jail after serving two years for involuntary manslaughter.
The physician was released from prison in Los Angeles in the early hours of Monday morning, according to the L.A. County Sheriff's Department. He has been incarcerated since 2011 after being found guilty of administering the fatal dose of anesthetic which claimed the King of Pop's life in June, 2009.
His release comes days after his lawyer filed court documents in Texas in a bid to prevent state officials from revoking his medical license.
His Texas lawyer Charles Peckham lodged a civil petition in Travis County on Friday, asking a judge to halt medical boardmembers' efforts to invalidate his permit pending Murray's criminal appeal in California.
Peckham fears that if Texas officials ban Murray from practising medicine, California authorities could use the case to fully revoke his permit there, too, causing "irreparable harm" to his client, whose license was suspended in both states following his involuntary manslaughter conviction.
Peckham tells the New York Daily News, "There is a clear potential for a domino effect… Dr. Murray has an unquenchable desire to help people, and no matter where it is, he will return to his given profession of healing. The truth is that a man like Dr. Murray who's dedicated his life to helping people will find a place to do it. If it's in Texas or the U.S. or we don't know where, you can be sure he will find a place to help people."
Members of California's Medical Board have also taken steps to revoke Murray's license in the state, but proceedings have stalled until the physician's appeal is complete as convictions are not considered final until all challenges are over.

text: The Italian Renaissance did not affect the design or ornament of furniture in England until about 1520. Evolution from the Gothic style was a gradual process, influence coming first from Italy and, in the second half of the 16th century, from the Low Countries. In the early stages, furniture remained Gothic in form, though Italian motifs slowly replaced the older Gothic ornament. Many pieces of early Renaissance English furniture combined linenfold panelling with medallion heads and Italianate cupids, but by the middle of the century both new ornament and new forms had replaced the medieval style. About the middle of the century the direct influence of Italy weakened, and its place was taken by that of the Low Countries. The northern style of Renaissance ornament was propagated in England by pattern books, immigrant workmen, and imported Flemish and German furniture, and before long it was adapted by English craftsmen into an individual and peculiarly English style. Characteristic of this style is the enrichment of every surface with flamboyant carved, turned, inlaid, and painted decoration, which strongly reflects the spirit of the English Renaissance. During Elizabeth I's reign there was a considerable and fairly widespread increase ... (200 of 24,622 words)England

MEDFORD, Ore.-Tripp Street residents woke up to find their cars, mailboxes and doors covered by graffiti.
One resident, Randy Shaw, said he first discovered the writing around 7:30a.m. Thursday.
Medford Police said they've heard about 11 cases, so far. Two of them were on Main Street.
Shaw said tagging has happened before in his neighborhood and the responsibility to clean things up falls on homeowners. "Well I have to clean it all up. I don't know who else to call. If they get caught or something, I hear they got programs where they make them wash out the paint. [...] Everyone right around my house area is homeowners and trying to keep the place nice," said Shaw.
Police said the tagging appeared to be gang-related. They said it looks like work of the Norteño gang.

Electronic music duo BoomBox dropped the bomb dance party on a sold out crowd at the Fox Theater on Friday night. This was one stop in an eight show assault the group led through Colorado this past week. Fans turned out ready to get their groove on, many in their finest disco garb, all surely wearing their dancing shoes.
My first interaction with a live music concert was in 1984 at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, where I saw the Victory tour as a young kid. I still remember it vividly to this day. My family and I had to park so far away from the stadium because it was so crowded, and we hiked it for several miles to get there. Once there, I remember the electric that I felt that night.
My wife and I are both Deadheads. Neither of us gets out to shows as much as we used to now that we have a family, but a few years ago I bought her a Phil and Friends ticket for Christmas. She got to go to the show while I stayed home and watched the kids. I wasn't up to snuff on the line-up as I've paid pretty scant attention to the Dead spin-offs for one reason or another.

Mischief night, October 30, 2010, the Los Angeles-based band Particle brought their brand of 'electro-funk rock' to the University Hill area of Boulder, Colorado. The venue was the popular Fox Theatre. This show was to be a culmination of a run of four shows in Colorado, and a celebration for the band of 10 years in the business.
Overall, the general tide in Indie rock pulls heavily towards the twinkley. Lots of synth, lots of electronics, lots of over-dubbing, lots of special effects, and less dirty guitar with each passing year. Not that I would attempt to deny the appeal that this trend has – I've grown fond of pretty much the whole spectrum over the past decade – but what this trend conspicuously lacks is grit. Grit and twinkle just don't go that well together.
There was a buzz in the air of Boulder Colorado, October 9, 2010. On the cool fall Saturday night, people were celebrating life, friendship, and the end of a very destructive fire that burned outside of Boulder early last month. Lasting nearly a week, the Boulder Fourmile Canyon fire was the most destructive wildfire in Colorado history; destroying 169 homes, and scorching nearly 8000 acres of land.
There's something homey feeling about the idea of a man sitting out on his porch as the sun sets, plucking away at his guitar as he moves forward and back in a rocking chair. And it was just that image and sensation that Langhorne Slim brought to the stage, rocking chair and all, as he sang his songs of love lost and love found to an audience more than eager to share in his musical story telling.
The Fox Theatre, FMQB, KBCO and Car Toys are proud to announce the return of the 2nd annual FMQB Triple A Conference to Boulder, Colorado, Aug 11 – 14.

About the Author
I grew up in Illinois listening to baseball when the leagues only had 8 teams. My dad and mom died Cub fans always believing that next year would be it. I was a Cub fan until I realized I didn't believe Cub ownership wanted to win. I loved the way the Milwaukee Braves played when Red Schoendienst was at 2nd, Joe Adcock at 1st, Eddie Mathews at 3rd and and Hank Aaron in the outfield but I didn't say that out loud. I joined the Air Force in 1968 and spent 28 years there, mostly overseas without baseball. I returned in 1991 I started following the Atlanta Braves on TBS; I've been with them ever since. My oldest son is a Rangers fan while my youngest is a Braves guy like me. I'm an old school guy I guess, I see no need for a designated pinch hitter and would prefer the All Star game to be about the All Star Game. I do think replay is needed on line calls and at the bases since the technology makes such things a snap; not balls and strikes. I also think Bug $elig is a joke, blackouts are a form of censorship and we have too many teams. More on those another day. Go Braves!

This scent came out in Avon a good few months ago and has been getting phased out for a while since. This can still be picked up in the small sale books that you get in Avon and it seems to be in every other 1 at the moment. This scent was available in this Room Spray, Shower Gel and Body Lotion. I tried all the range as I do like the Naturals range and the offer price when it launched was good - but this can be found on a special offer ever other book like most Avon products. This comes in a 125ml bottle which looks like the picture on here. Just a simple slimline plastic bottle and you can see the clear liquid through the bottle. The label on the front looks ...

I bought Naturals Lemon Blossom and Basil Room and Linen Spray on recommendation of my mother in law, she is an Avon Representative and had found that most people who bought it through her, said it was really nice. I was a bit sceptical at first, as I am not a fan of lemons in general but I decided I might as well try it and ordered one in. The Scent This spray has a very fresh and zingy yet sweet smell to it, it reminds me of summer and is so much nicer than I had expected. It does not smell completely of lemons, it also has an herbal twang to it as well. It is a great spray to have around the house in the summer as it suits the season perfectly. ...

I am not a huge fan of air fresheners in my home. I didn't always feel like this - back in the bad old days when I smoked, I used copious amounts of the stuff to keep my home from smelling completely like an old ashtray. What put me off air fresheners was when I lived for a while in a rented flat in Edinburgh and every Monday the common areas were cleaned by a professional cleaner. This woman was very efficient and friendly but the air freshener she used as a finishing touch was industrial strength and used to give me the most terrible headache after I had inhaled it. I decided that couldn't be good for me so since then I have replaced air fresheners with ... Read the complete review

Hello, Survivor!
Hello, Survivor!
What is ZombieForward? It's a sandbox-style PC game, where player can choose what to do, where to go, etc. The game takes place in the near future, about 2050 year, in the apocalypce world, due to epidemic, full of zombies who want to kick your ass.
There are enough problems in addition to zombies. You need to look for food, drinking water, or you will die soon, watching status warnings. To kill hordes of enemies you will need some weapon, some of wich you can do by your own hands, also you will need healthy sleep and some medicine to cure illnesses.
If you want to survive you will need to use your brain and fight for your life! Other things you could find in variuos places, sometimes not even suitable for them!
Will you survive?
What can i do in your game?
- You can choose one of 24 combined classes of survivors.
- You can use a lots of amazing found/constructed weapons to fight for your life.
- You can build your own Stronghold to survive in such a cruel world.
- You can find/construct vehicle/motorbike/boat/etc. to explore huge, random-generate world.
- You can do all of it with you best friends, in a close groups. You can travel together or separate into small groups to look after stronghold and explore world at the same time!
What i have to do in your game?
- You must look for food, drink, medicines, ammo, clothes, etc to survive.
- You must find safe place to survive, or make some of pther places safe!
- You have to kill crowds of terrible monsters, fight with the modern deseases.
Can i manage my own character?
Yes! We have 4 iconic characters, but if you want to make your own character to play you can do it, using 8 perks, 4 body types, huge amount of beards, haircuts, etc.
This way, you can play as Soldier, Scoundrel, Medic, Engeneer, or make you own!
What kind of graphics do you use?
This game will be mostly like a Fallout, Bastion or Alien Shooter. Isometrical with the sprite objects. But all this will be available in a High Defenition.
When your game will be released?
When it will be done =) But not later then 1st of March 2013. We hope Zombie_Forward will be available to play in 5-6 months.
About funding, perks, etc.
All perks, including using your name, face, etc: you can send us whatever you want to place into The Game. But to be honest we still can decline any "wrong" picture or name.
- $50 Zombie Hunter. Pre-Order to The Gifter! And email'd Thanks to him! Also, digital copy of soundtrack and big poster with one of our iconic characters.
It would be really big poster, a2 format.
- $100 Zombie Tank. Pre-Order to The Gifter! And email'd Thanks to him! Also, digital copy of soundtrack, big poster with one of our iconic characters and Art Book!
Imagine an usual magazine, a4 format, with about 200 pages of perfect concept arts, with discriptions and comics.
- $250 Ten-Zombies-in-a-Box! Pre-Order to The Gifter! And email'd Thanks to him! Also, digital copy of soundtrack, big poster with one of our iconic characters, Magazine-type Art-Book and T-shirt!
Male/Female handmade disign T-Shirt. Like those:
FullSize "Stop Global Warming!"
A Super-Survival-Truck-Covered-with-Rails!
It would be 1:18 of real Truck. We will publish render of this beauty soon, follow us on Twittwer or Facebook.
First update! 11.04.2012
Here we want to open describe some game-mechanic moments.
About NPC's:
They are in the game. Some of them will give the quests (this quests are optional, but without passing them you could lose a lot of fun and some interesting game moments).
RPG elements:
As you can see from the description we will give players the opportunity to build their own characters. For this purpose, we're introducing 8 groups of skills into the game. 2 of which will be main, other – secondary. This will directly affect the play style, because the main skills will allow access to the special objects and skills, not available to the other characters.
Work on the skill will be made up from the improving it and holding on the current skill level. It is pretty hard so you could not create a real the master of all trades. That's why we encourage players to invite their friends.
Unfortunately now we have not any screenshots due to the fact that our artist joined us recently.
About music:
There will be 2 main areas of musical design: the brutal and not very brutal metal (rock) and the melodic, depressive, ambient. They also will be published soon.
About our engine:
Luckily, we're writing our own one. Thats why we can take care of making it cross-platform enough.
About perks:
We're happy to say that the perks more than $20 will provide access to download digital copies of the soundtrack and art-book. We will add this feature in the nearest update.
Second update! 14.04.2012
Good news, everyone!
We have added perk for people who "hate paying for shipping"! And we named it Zombie Harvester! It provides you to download digital copies of soundtrack (mp3, ogg for your choise) and art-book (pdf, or we cam recode it in any format you like) on the day of release!
More: we are going to open new web site!
- There you will be able to read all our posts in two languages (or even three: english, russian, polish).
- We are going to promote you comics book about Adventures of The Survivors!
- And more! Don't forget to visit us in a week!
