After the so-called Middle East "peace" deal was announced, Tim Russert of NBC's Meet the Press made an appearance on the NBC Today Show to say it was a masterstroke for President Clinton. He wondered how it would look for the Republicans to be trying to impeach the president while Clinton was being considered for a Nobel peace prize.
That comment now looks completely ridiculous. The agreement is already breaking down. Some Israelis are so angry that they are branding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a traitor for agreeing to trade more land for "peace." But the American people should have some concerns as well, and our own media should subject this agreement to serious scrutiny. One of the most controversial aspects of the deal is Clinton's reported agreement to release convicted American traitor Jonathan Pollard to Israel. There is still confusion over what Clinton actually agreed to do.
CNN's Wolf Blitzer reports that Clinton agreed "in principle" to release him. Clinton denies it, saying he only promised to "review" the case. But whom should we believe? Blitzer is a former Washington correspondent for The Jerusalem Post with solid Israeli sources. In fact, he wrote a book about the Pollard case entitled, "Territory of Lies." If Blitzer is correct, it means that Clinton has agreed to release a notorious American traitor as part of a dubious "peace" agreement which only serves to get the United States deeper involved in the Middle East quagmire. This is a "lose-lose" situation for the U.S. Eventually, U.S. troops could be deployed to the region, as sitting ducks for terrorists.
Clinton's dubious agreement is officially called "The Wye River Memorandum." It is named after the Maryland site where Clinton, Palestinian Chairman Yasser Arafat, and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu met. But it is a deceptive document in its own right. Published reports indicate that the CIA has been called upon to enforce this new "peace" agreement by acting as a referee between Israelis and Palestinians. Some experts say this is an expansion of the CIA's role and that CIA agents could be kidnaped and tortured.
But it turns out that the CIA isn't even mentioned in the agreement. Instead, there is an "unpublished" side agreement that commits the CIA to this role. Will the public ever see this side agreement? Will Congress? Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Senator Richard Shelby has been widely quoted as saying he wants hearings into the CIA role. But what about the agreement itself? Some experts are now saying that the document constitutes a treaty because it commits the United States to a quasi-military role abroad. The U.S. signed the Wye Memorandum only as a "witness" but the "unpublished" agreement clearly demonstrates that the U.S. is an active player in the whole process. So why shouldn't there be an up-or-down vote on the agreement itself?
In the brouhaha surrounding the signing of the agreement, shortly before the November elections, there was no serious examination of what was in it. Now we learn that a key aspect of the agreement is not even public. Clinton doesn't deserve a Nobel Peace Prize for leaving us in the dark again.


People think it's a message to The Weeknd.
Since Bella Hadid and the Weeknd ended their year-long relationship in November, a lot has happened for both members of the former couple. Outside of their many career accomplishments, (Bella even launched a clothing line), the Weeknd began a very public fling with Selena Gomez. This led many to speculate that Bella's feelings must be hurt by the whole scenario, especially after she unfollowed them on Instagram. This week, only a few days after Selena Gomez posted an adorable Instagram photo of her the Weeknd having a great time at Coachella, Bella was spotted in Paris wearing her potential feelings in her outfit.
While walking through the city, Bella wore a denim on denim look with a pair of cropped flare jeans that had embroidered broken hearts and a red hooded sweatshirt that says "Real Love," both by StickyBaby. She finished the love-filled style with a torn up denim jacket, amazing Givenchy slides and black sunglasses. While she could very well just like the jeans and hoodie, you could certainly speculate that she might be sending a message to her ex as several media outlets have. OR it could be referring to something we don't even know about. Either way, we love the look and we'd totally steal it, heartbroken or not. Luckily, both the sweatshirt and the jeans are still available here for under $200.


Lower back pain affects over 31 million Americans at some time or another. For some it is temporary lasting a few days to a few months and for others it is chronic. Back pain is something we have all experienced and is often related to sciatic pain, especially if you have a herniated disc. This practice is about relieving some of the pressure and tightness which may make lower back pain and sciatic pain persist to grant you some relief and release. Always ask your doctor what poses you should or should not be doing with your specific condition and if a pose doesn't feel right or you experience sharp shooting pain or deep discomfort, come out of the pose and move to another. And always feel free to gather more pillows and blankets just in case you need more support (throw pillows, bed pillows, towels)!
Just a note here too - if you are not experiencing any symptoms of back pain or sciatica, this could be used as a preventative measure - keeping the spine long, limber and healthy.

Baraguá es una película histórica cubana, realizada por el Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematográficos (ICAIC) y dirigida por José Massip. La película se basa en la Protesta de Baraguá (15 de marzo de 1878), hecho histórico de la larga guerra de Independencia cubana en la que el general español Arsenio Martínez-Campos Antón (personificado por el actor chileno Nelson Villagra) y el mayor general del Ejército Libertador de Cuba, Antonio Maceo (Mario Balmaseda), se entrevistaron en «Mangos de Baraguá». El general Maceo hace saber al representante español la insatisfacción de los revolucionarios cubanos con el Pacto de Zanjón y que no aceptaban la paz ahí firmada sin que se le concediera a Cuba la independencia total.

La película narra las luchas previas al encuentro, mostrando, en escenas muy bien logradas, los combates entre las tropas revolucionarias y el ejército español. Las tropas de Maceo y Máximo Gómez (José Antonio Rodríguez), se encuentran debilitadas y son frecuentes las deserciones y traiciones, lo que provoca que un grupo de oficiales busqué una tregua con España y firman la «Paz de Zanjón», hecho que es reprobado por los dos principales líderes revolucionarios, los que luego de encontrarse y comentar lo que consideran una traición acuerdan continuar la guerra, pero previamente Maceo va a entrevistarse con la máxima autoridad española.

Maceo en la entrevista con Martínez-Campos (escenas finales de la película) le señala: «Ese documento no contempla la abolición de esclavitud ni la independencia». Martínez-Campos le dice: «Entonces, no nos entendemos», a lo que Maceo responde: «No, no nos entendemos». Esta discusión en Baraguá sepulta lo pactado en el Zanjón y reaviva la guerra independentista cubana.

Editor's note: Each week, our Friday Fix series offers pancreatic cancer patients and caregivers a new topic related to health, diet and nutrition. For today's post, we look into how patients undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer may experience food differently, specifically, if their treatment effects their taste buds.
When undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer it's hard to know sometimes how side effects can manifest themselves. One side effect patients may face is a change in how they experience food. We asked Jeannine Mills, MS, RD, CSO, LD., clinical oncology dietitian for the Norris Cotton Cancer Center and member of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network's (PanCAN) Scientific and Medical Advisory Board, what patients should know about taste changes.
"Taste changes can present prior to diagnosis, while undergoing chemotherapy and postoperatively," said Mills.
Adding fresh herbs or spices can enhance food that is tasting dull. Add fresh herbs to an omelet, or cilantro to tomato soup. Serve chunky salsa with eggs in the morning, squeeze lemon on vegetables, choose greens that have a bite (e.g. arugula) or add sour pickles or olives as a side with your meal.
We're here to help. Contact Patient Central for comprehensive disease information – including our diet and nutrition booklet, nutrition tips and recipes, and help finding a registered dietitian in your area.


The strikes targeted smuggling tunnels along the Gaza-Egypt border as well as a training camp run by Hamas.
Israeli jets have staged three air strikes over Gaza, hours after a bomb struck a crowded bus stop in West Jerusalem, killing at least one person and wounding 30 in what authorities said was the first major attack in the city in several years.
Hamas, the Palestinian group which controls the Gaza Strip, said on Thursday that the strikes targeted smuggling tunnels along the Gaza-Egypt border, as well as one of its training camps in central Gaza.
Wednesday's bombing of the bus stop came several hours after two Grad rockets fired from Gaza hit the southern Israeli city of Beersheva.
Al Jazeera's Nisreen El-Shamayleh, reporting from Jerusalem, said that one person, a 60-year-old woman, died following the blast at the bus stop.
"There was no immediate claim of responsibility. [...] The normal reaction is for people to blame Palestinian groups when there is an explosion in Jerusalem, but the police are carrying out an investigation and aren''t ruling out any possibility," our correspondent said.
Micky Rosenfeld, a police spokesman, told Al Jazeera that a device in a bag that was left in a phone booth near the bus station exploded when the bus passed.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, warned militants not to test Israel's "iron will," and vowed a tough response to the bombing.
Netanyahu said that Israel would act aggressively and responsibly after the attack in Jerusalem.
"Israel will act aggressively, responsibly and wisely to preserve the quiet and security that prevailed here over the past two years," Netanyahu said before boarding a plane to Moscow where he will meet Russian leaders.
Meanwhile, Nir Barkat, the Jerusalem mayor, said the city would rebound quickly, vowing that Jerusalem's first-ever marathon would take place as planned on Friday.
Bombings have been rare in Jerusalem in the past several years. Palestinians carried out dozens of bombings in the city at the height of an uprising that began in 2000.
The Israeli military confirmed it had fired mortar rounds towards the eastern outskirts of Gaza City on Tuesday, shortly after four rockets hit Israel.
In response to the attack in Jerusalem, Hamas in the Gaza Strip said it was seeking to reverse the recent spike in violence with Israel.
"We stress that our constant position in the government is to protect stability and to work in order to restore the conditions on ground that used to be dominant in previous weeks," Taher Al-Nono, a Hamas spokesman, said.
Islamic Jihad, another armed group which has carried out dozens of attacks, said it was not responsible for the blast in Jerusalem.
But Khader Habib, a spokesman, said the group "applauds all efforts to respond to the crimes committed daily against our people".
Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, condemned the attack in Jerusalem.
In a statement on the website of WAFA, the official Palestinian news agency, Abbas also reiterated his condemnation to the Israeli operation in Gaza on Tuesday.

Video crooks come in from the cold | Top stories | Breaking News 24/7 - NEWS.com.au (28-12-2005): The Federal Government will next year legalise the video recording of television shows for personal use, and the transfer of songs from CDs to MP3 players, in a bid to overturn a ban which has made criminals of much of the population.
there was this fairly randomly-chosen date of religious significancematerialistic insanity, you see...
Whew, survived another Christmas. In pretty random order:
Once again clocked up several hundred kilometres to see both sides of the family.
My new car was admired greatly by many. Including L's parents' neighbours, who apparently ducked over into the garage for a closer look on Christmas morning :) [Which is cool, the neighbours are very nice people.]
Car finished the initial break-in period somewhere between here and the farm. w00t! I can now rev it past 4000rpm.
Only one present received, but it's a biggie. Well, actually we haven't received it yet; we received money towards it and L and I are adding to the cash as our present to each other. We will shortly own an espresso machine. We were going to buy one today... but at Myer Indro they ran out of stock and at Toowong David Jones we'd just put our hands on the box when all the lights went out. We left by the light of L's phone's torch (one of the most useful features ever). That said, had we called out to the staff they would have escorted us out with torches - it was all handled pretty quickly and with a minimum of fuss.
I did buy a new knife at Indro though - damn you, sales! 30% off Furi knives made the improved 17cm East/West knife affordable-ish. So now I have the scalloped version as well as the flat original version! Here's hoping stuff like potato doesn't stick to it - the scallops should break the surface tension. Theoretically :) No matter what, having two will be useful since we use the one we have for just about everything. If you find full-size cook's knives a bit unwieldy then try the East/West knife (seriously). So... hmm, well, the purchase wasn't planned in the budget but I guess I'll manage. I've wanted one for ages so I don't really regret it.
Last year we 'went around the world' in whiskey (well scotland, ireland and america anyway). This year I picked up a 'beer lover's box' from BWS with 12 different beers. I hooked up an iPod to the stereo and my brother and I sat up late sampling all the beer and music... :)
I think several people in my family are now planning to buy iPods :)
My brother-in-law's brother-in-law (what the fuck relation is that, anyway?) has the most insane home theatre I've ever seen. It is awesome. Hell yes. Here's hoping he hosts next year's State of Origin games...
Oh and yes, the brutal heat sucked greatly.

Boing Boing: DHS agents visit student over "Little Red Book" loan: The student, who was completing a research paper on Communism for Professor Pontbriand's class on fascism and totalitarianism, filled out a form for the request, leaving his name, address, phone number and Social Security number. He was later visited at his parents' home in New Bedford by two agents of the Department of Homeland Security, the professors said. The student was later interviewed, saying "holy shit they take their hands-on coursework seriously here! Here's me thinking I was just going to study totalitarianism and here it is literally knocking on my door! Dude, I'm totally going to get, like, an A after this!"

A truck carrying tax payments overturned, causing approximately 30,000 Form 1040ES quarterly estimated tax payments to be ejected into the San Francisco Bay.

Why this is being billed as 'new' is beyond me. Barbie has always been a viable target.

Bands don't sue fans for selling guitar picks and drumsticks thrown to the audience... FIFA should just shut up and stop making themselves look like total arseholes.

popup evil
I've been informed that something (probably Blogger/Blog*Spot ) is inserting some evil popup shit into this blog. I hadn't noticed since Opera defeats it; but Firefox and IE users are getting bombarded with crap. Sorry about this, will confirm the source then work out where to go from there.
Update: looks like it was the hit counter PLUS blogspot/blogger. So the hit counter is gone now. Will investigate more later.
Update - what the fuck happened?
OK. Thanks to some help from relapse, plus some experimentation, I have a reasonable idea about what happened.
Background: for many many years I have been using a free stat service, Nedstat/Nedstat Basic. When I say many years... I'm pretty sure I started using them back when I was at college (1997-98). A long time in net years. A couple of months ago, I got an email telling me that Nedstat Basic was now Webstats4U. The name should have given me a clue about the impending doom; but it didn't.
The email included this: Webstats4U is a 100% FREE version for all webmasters. In order to finance the new developments and to continue providing you with the world?s best FREE web analytics tool in the market, Webstats4U will accept advertising sponsorships on its reporting site and will from time to time accept other types of advertising sponsorships. These advertising sponsorships will not be implemented directly into your website. If you do not wish to continue using our FREE Webstats4U service in exchange for advertising you can of course change anytime to Nedstat?s paid web analytics solutions NedstatPro or Sitestat. (my emphasis).
Nice wording, eh. There was a link to the full terms and conditions; which I skimmed but didn't have time to read. Well, now I have read them properly. In the "Products and Services" section, they don't just define their products and services.
With the installation of Webstats4U on the site it is accepted that WMS has the right to place advertisements on the site in any format or through any channel, including but not limited to e-mail, layer ads, pops, banners and other usual formats without any forewarning and it is furthermore accepted that WMS takes no responsibility for the advertising content and that WMS shall not be liable for any losses incurred regarding this advertising.
With the installation of Webstats4U on the site it is accepted that WMS has the right to use the collected data for commercial purposes in line with WMS's privacy policy.
Personally I don't think that's "Products and Services" information. That's "Advertising" and "Privacy". But still, I didn't read it - my bad. I went by the original email, which only said they'd have ads on their reporting site (the one you click through to get the data). Nothing was being implemented directly on my website, right? So no dramas.
The evil just keeps going in their FAQ:
These advertising sponsorships can appear as a pop-up or pop-under advertisement or slide-in flash format, and will at no point be implemented directly into your website as banners, buttons, links or similar.
(http://www.webstats4u.com/service/?id=1566044#misc14)
Then today's debacle. Holy crap. Popups, alerts, cookies... the whole nine yards. I don't know why, but only this site hosted on Blogspot was hit. I have several other pages hosted on my own server which don't appear to have been generating popups. I can only speculate on why Blogspot was targetted - maybe the Blogger bar creates a vulnerability? Maybe they have an agreement? Maybe they're specifically targetted by Webstats4U?
Nothing impelemented directly on my site of course. Sure, they'll just appear on my site and piss off my site's readers... but I can rest easy knowing that they were launched from.... well, anywhere they feel like it really. Today it was sel.as-eu.falkag.net.
So now I'm going through and removing Nedstats/WebstatsUpYours code from my pages. It was good while it lasted - the stats are actually good) - and hell, Nedstat made it through the heyday of popups without ever using popups. But now all of a sudden they've decided to cut loose with some of the most aggressive popups I've seen in a long time.
Fuck you too, Webstats4U.

pirate/goth christmas
At work, people are pretty serious about Christmas. Offensively so, in fact. So this year we decided to get into the spirit of things, in our own way of course. Note that the office was already full of jolly rogers, we just added a seasonal layer over the top. All the decorations came from The Christmas Cave, so they all count as Christmas-y.
Merry Christm-ARRRR-s! Big black wreath with a few baubles added. The jolly roger just happened to fit nicely, not that I had this effect in mind when I found the wreath or anything.
No black tinsel! The slack bastards! I couldn't ascertain whether they originally had black tinsel or not; the poor girl we were talking to appeared to be in some stage of heat stroke. The place was basically a tin shed, with no real aircon (a couple of portable units were making a valiant effort, but Brisbane summer wins). It was 33° outside at the time. So anyway, we got a big long string of black beads instead.
They'd sold out of medium size black trees; so here is a small desktop sized black christmas tree! :)
After the initial reaction, most people observe that.... well, actually, it's colour coordinated and actually aesthetically pleasing. As opposed to random coloured tinsel and lights bunged up with no particular theme or order in mind. We've just been pointing out that ours is an entirely accessible Christmas - no problems with red/green colourblindness, for example.
Next mission is to get to the lolly warehouse for a really big jar of red/white boiled lollies. Which, you guessed it, will be my Bah Humbugs.

everyone's wrong
So violence and mob behaviour has well and truly kicked off in Cronulla. Cronulla mob attacks beachgoers. 11/12/2005. ABC News Online, Gangs rampage in Sydney streets. 13/12/2005. ABC News Online, etc. You know what's happening.
I just don't know where to start; but I'll go out on a limb here and say this has not happened overnight. Tensions will have been building for months, probably years; and what we are seeing is the situation reaching flash point.
There's a strong temptation to blame one side or the other. Well here's a fucking news flash: nobody is "right". The people who beat up the lifeguards were wrong. The people who attacked the ambulance and the ambos within were wrong (but I'll bet you anything those same people would still have the hide to call 000 if they were hurt). The people who formed mobs were all wrong. The people who attacked people and property were wrong.
The government is wrong for ignoring the problem. White Australians™ are wrong for making very little attempt to genuinely mix with Other Cultural Groups™. Said Other Cultural Groups™ are wrong for making very little attempt to geniunely mix with White Australians™. Politically correct or not, we have to face the fact that ghettoism is a reality - there is no multicultural society, there is no fucking "melting pot". That was all feel good bullshit.
The Political Correctness movement has only made it harder to talk openly about cultural problems. Racism can be easily masked with PC terms, genuine concerns are trivialised and left to fester. People know there is tension, but it's left in the Too Hard basket. It was so much easier to quibble about what the problem was called than it would have been to work on the problem itself.
So everyone is wrong. Everyone needs to be honest with themselves - a bit more tolerance would be good, both for and from minorities. If people truly can't stand another group, they should just learn to leave each other alone - pure and simple. People have to be able say "enough" and let the situation calm down. Everyone needs to go home, have a quiet night in. Otherwise things will just follow the pattern of endless escalation so prevalent in the world's hotspots.

AmericanEdit.org: Dean Gray Tuesday.
For anyone who hasn't caught this issue; some people got together and did some really very impressive mashups of Green Day's album American Idiot. They put up a site with free downloads and the statement that if you like the mashups, donate money to charities supported by Green Day themselves. No profit, just music.
Not surprisingly, the site was promptly shut down. On Tuesday 13th December 2005, a coordinated protest event will be held. American Edit will be made available everywhere possible and played on as many radio stations as possible. With a bit of luck, the record companies might get the message that people are sick of music being taken away from them.
The thing about these mashups is that whenever I hear them I get about ten songs in my head. I start thinking about these great songs and - genuinely - this makes me more likely to buy them next time I'm in a record shop.
American Edit was never making money, nobody was losing money. In fact, it was more likely that the record companies would make money. It's not like people are downloading American Idiot, they were downloading a sincere creative effort based on the album. What's next? Stopping DJs mixing two tracks together?
Music fans understand: music is a core of our lives, it lives within us and feeds our souls. Record companies do not understand. They are soulless, morally bereft shells, with no appreciation for music. To the record companies the artists, fans and music itself are nothing but opportunities to screw some more dollars into their profit margins. If they ever knew, they've forgotten the roar of the crowd when the first note sounds and the sincerity of the encore shouts.
So on Dean Gray Tuesday, people are protesting. The people who buy albums and go to gigs are going to fight for a mashup album; but really it's just another symptom of the divide between music fans and the money-grubbing bastards who control the industry.

fucking summer
Southeast Coast Forecast Header : Brisbane Maximum ... 32 .... my arse! It was 33 by the time I got to work, according to the car's readout. It definitely feels hotter now and like clockwork our air-con is steadily giving up at work. Archerfield observations (which is near work) only shows the temperature at 32.9, they must have some form of breeze over there.
This will probably last until March. Fuck.
On this of all days, the Christmas decorations invaded my workplace. Merry Friggin' Christmas.

i got a seven
I got a seven for my first postgrad subject! Woo! :)
I never got a seven during undergrad and I always sort of wished I'd worked a bit harder at least one time. So now I can tick that box :)
that 1 guy... ahwoooo!
Attention everyone, including those in Sydney and Melbourne. That 1 Guy is playing in your town and you should go. His show is absolutely incredible, can't recommend it highly enough! Don't think there's anyone on my list living in Tassie/Byron/Katoomba/other places on the tour schedule, but hey if so, pay attention too. For those of you who do the Woodford Folk Festival, he's booked there too.
What can I say... we're talking about a guy who has created his own musical instrument - a stonking big pipe with strings. He also plays a saw, a shoe and rocks out with a credit card. It's an unusual act to say the least, but last night he held the entire crowd at The Troubadour utterly spellbound from the first song to the encore.
colinmo has posted about the show too.
T1G returns to Brisbane early next year, I expect to drag as many of you beotches as I can get hold of along to the show :)
Labels: gig, that 1 guy, the troubadour

RIAA Bans Telling Friends About Songs | The Onion - America's Finest News Source:
LOS ANGELES?The Recording Industry Association of America announced Tuesday that it will be taking legal action against anyone discovered telling friends, acquaintances, or associates about new songs, artists, or albums. 'We are merely exercising our right to defend our intellectual properties from unauthorized peer-to-peer notification of the existence of copyrighted material,' a press release signed by RIAA anti-piracy director Brad Buckles read. 'We will aggressively prosecute those individuals who attempt to pirate our property by generating 'buzz' about any proprietary music, movies, or software, or enjoy same in the company of anyone other than themselves.' RIAA attorneys said they were also looking into the legality of word-of-mouth 'favorites-sharing' sites, such as coffee shops, universities, and living rooms.

Ever wondered how secure your access to food is? Maybe you haven't — on Vancouver Island, many of us have easy access to healthy food. At the grocery store we choose from an array of fresh produce and select cuts of cellophane-wrapped meat. We might visit a local farmer's market, or drop by a small bakery. In the summer we fish on island lakes and catch plump trout. Hardly a second thought is given to where our food comes from and how secure our food network is!
The Food Connections Gathering is an annual event that brings together an active network of people on Vancouver Island to connect and share ideas on food security. They discuss the uniqueness of being on an Island and what this means for our access to sustainable, healthy food — in our cities, farms, forests, and water. It's a partnership between numerous organizations, and each year builds on the work of the last.

NRA Alert
It's about time. There is no excuse for the Republicans in Lansing not to have passed this already.
Michigan House Committee to Consider Repeal of Handgun Permit-to-Purchase and Registration
The Michigan House Judiciary Committee will have a hearing on Thursday, May 17, to review an important and long-overdue bill that would eliminate the state handgun "permit-to-purchase" and registration requirements. This committee will hear House Bill 5225 and consider this proposed amendment language that will be used as a substitute for HB 5225 when this hearing takes place.
HB 5225, introduced by state Representative Paul Opsommer (R-93), would abolish the bureaucratic "permit-to-purchase" handguns which became obsolete when the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) went into effect in 1998. Under the current state system, gun buyers must apply with their local law enforcement agency and pass a written test before being authorized to buy a handgun. This "permit" is valid for only one gun and it expires after ten days. Since 1998, federal law has required a national criminal records check for the purchase of any firearm from any gun dealer in every state. Some of the key points of the proposed amendment to HB 5225 are:
Repeal the state requirement for someone to ask for police permission to purchase a firearm by traveling to a local police station and obtaining a permit to purchase.
Repeal the requirement to register a completely legally purchased and owned firearm by a law-abiding citizen to be registered with the government through the police.
Adopt the use of the federally-funded National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
Default to the federal standard of prohibited persons and each purchase would still require a background check.
Cut Michigan's costs by using the federally-administered instant background check system and eliminate wasted man-hours of tracking lawful gun owners in Michigan.
The NRA has been working diligently to repeal this antiquated, costly and unnecessary obstacle for gun owners and has coordinated with several state Representatives to produce new language for HB 5225. Two companion bills are also moving through the House: House Bill 5498, sponsored by state Representative Richard LeBlanc (D-18), and House Bill 5499, sponsored by state Representative Ray Franz (R-101).
Please contact members of the state House Judiciary Committee and respectfully urge them to support HB 5225. Committee member contact information is provided here.

It seems that light passes through one slit or the other in the form of photons if we set up an experiment to detect which slit the photon passes, but passes through both slits in the form of a wave if we perform an interference experiment.

Q: capture any aliphatic on keyboard while form is not visible? i tried to capture any character from A…Z but i din't got it
i use the global hot key but they just manipulate the F2…..F12 some thing like
this how can i do that ?
i tried :
 public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        // register the event that is fired after the key press.
        hook.KeyPressed +=
        new EventHandler<KeyPressedEventArgs>(hook_KeyPressed);
        // register the control + alt + F12 combination as hot key.
        hook.RegisterHotKey(GlobalHotKeys.ModifierKeys.Control | GlobalHotKeys.ModifierKeys.Alt, Keys.F12);
        hook.RegisterHotKey(GlobalHotKeys.ModifierKeys.Control | GlobalHotKeys.ModifierKeys.Alt, Keys.F2);

    }
    void hook_KeyPressed(object sender, KeyPressedEventArgs e)
    {
        // show the keys pressed in a label.
        MessageBox.Show(e.Key.ToString());

    }

A: I believe you should use Global Keyboard Hook to capture key events from inactive or hidden form, you can use Keyboard Hooks Library which simplifies the process a lot, here is  a sample based on mentioned library:
using System.Windows.Forms;
using MouseKeyboardActivityMonitor.WinApi;

namespace Demo
{
    public partial class MainForm : Form
    {
        private readonly KeyboardHookListener hook=new KeyboardHookListener(new GlobalHooker());

        public MainForm()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            hook.KeyDown += hook_KeyDown;
            hook.Enabled = true;
        }

        void hook_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if(e.Control && e.Alt && e.KeyCode==Keys.F12)
                MessageBox.Show(@"Alt+Ctrl+F12 Pressed.");
        }
    }
}

Console Sample:
NOTE: add System.Windows.Forms.dll as reference to your console application
using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using MouseKeyboardActivityMonitor.WinApi;

namespace Demo
{
    internal class KeyboardHook : IDisposable
    {
        private readonly KeyboardHookListener _hook = new KeyboardHookListener(new     GlobalHooker());

        public KeyboardHook()
        {
            _hook.KeyDown += hook_KeyDown;
            _hook.Enabled = true;
        }

        private void hook_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Control && e.Alt && e.KeyCode == Keys.F12)
                MessageBox.Show(@"Alt+Ctrl+F12 Pressed.");

        }

        public void Dispose()
        {
            _hook.Enabled = false;
            _hook.Dispose();
        }
    }

    internal static class Program
    {
        private static void Main()
        {
            var t = new Thread(() =>
            {
                using (new KeyboardHook())
                    Application.Run();
            });

            t.Start();

            Console.WriteLine(@"press 'C' key to exit application...");
            while (Console.ReadKey().Key != ConsoleKey.C){}

            Application.Exit();
        }
    }
}

Profile Of The Best Healing Fortune Telling "JUNKA"!
Today AKITOKIMI will introduce the profile of JUNKA, the best fortune-teller of "JUNKA∞AKITOKIMI". JUNKA is a fortune-telling person who fortune-tells concretely and precisely.
Today, AKITOKIMI will introduce JUNKA which is also the best fortune-teller of "JUNKA∞AKITOKIMI".
JUNKA is a master of Akitokimi and is also a mother of Akitokimi.
That is, JUNKA∞AKITOKIMI is doing a fortune telling with parents and children!
Of course JUNKA has strong spiritual power, ability and advice power!
JUNKA's fortunetelling has over 30 years of experience and skill.
She divorces with inspiration, spirituality, perspectives, four pillar speculation, numerology, palm, faces, judgment of name, and so on.
And JUNKA can also use Aura healing, remote healing, wave correction, channeling, guardian spirit communication and so on.
Even when she is compared with AKITOKIMI, the difference in abilities is clear.
I think that you can understand that JUNKA has a tremendous spirituality.
Also, the consultation genres that she is good at are romance, unrequited love, compatibility, adultery, triangle relationship, love resurrection, marriage, divorce, cheating, family affairs, parenting, encounter, interpersonal relationship, business, work, job change, career, money Luck, school problems, health problems, fortune-telling etc.
People who have consulted up to now have a wide variety of people and have saved 350,000 souls to date.
People who JUNKA rescued the soul are from high school students to seniors.
Indeed, people of all ages consult with JUNKA.
Even entertainers, corporate presidents, politicians come to consult JUNKA.
It is because JUNKA that various consultants come to talk about your troubles.
If you would like to consult with JUNKA, please do not hesitate to ask us this inquiry form.
The reason JUNKA became a fortune teller is blood flowing in her body.
In other words, because the ancestor of JUNKA was a priest, all the descendents including her had special power, but JUNKA's power was the best.
Also, as one of her superior spiritual abilities, it was that Shinigami was visible from around the time.
The shinigami is that JUNKA can see the death of a person or see a black shadow.
It is that she understands a person's life span as "smell" or "see death god".
JUNKA had the ability not found in ordinary people.
It is also true that JUNKA has saved a lot of people thanks to the predictive dreams and the future of the talking person entering her head as images.
However, JUNKA was only afraid and anxious to have the ability that ordinary people do not have.
It is a person who has been hurt by many people in various ways, such as being hated, being curious, treating it as a spectacle material.
And celebrities, politicians, presidents of large corporations, etc from general people, greeded more and more, and started to ask JUNKA "answer".
At first, she used fortune telling only for the general public, but since there was no internet, the word-of-mouth review invited the word-of-mouth, and the name of JUNKA has become known to a lot of people. .
Even if we say a lot of people, because they were fame, position, powerful, she did not appear in the rumor.
It was a famous person.
The name of JUNKA gradually became known.
So JUNKA decided to seal this ability completely! ! !
If you have a strong spiritual ability, I think that you can understand the content of this story, but really people with strong spiritual power are really limited.
So, I think people who do not have spiritual ability do not know the agony, spicyness, and sorrow that JUNKA had tasted.
In order to escape from the human world, she decided to go to Japan from England to practice.
Just like JUNKA, there was a famous acquaintance with a high ability, and I decided to have 10 years of practicing under the person called the Great Witch of Great Britain.
Why did JUNKA go to the Great Witch of Great Britain?
The reason is that she controls her own abilities by herself!
JUNKA 's spiritual power is really too strong, it just gets stronger day by day, she can not control it by herself anymore.
She has had various experiences in England.
If a spirit captain clears a higher demon, he is supposed to be exchanged for his death.
Higher spiritual abilities of England can emit Ectoplasm from mouth, nose, ears, eyes, etc.
There was something that can not be said in blogs, such as in JUNKA's eyes.
I can not say anything about JUNA 's British days any more. Because it is legal reason to talk!
JUNKA, who came back to Japan from the UK, will be restarting from 1 as a fortuneteller in Osaka, Japan.
For the past 30 years, she has used fortune telling using inspiration, spirituality, four-poster fate, numerology, hands, and personality.
JUNKA has been fortunetelling fortune telling around Umeda in Osaka, but recently she has fortune-tellered on the phone, Skype, e-mail and so on.
She is to be honest frankly, but JUNKA will be the only one who can give advice on behalf of the consultant.
JUNKA is never a person with prejudice and prejudice against the consultant.
I think that JUNKA is clearly different point from other fortune tellers, because she is always in the position of a consultant and listens to the story of the consultant until the end.
Listening to the other's story is the most important thing than having a high level of fortune-telling ability.
The occupation of a fortune teller is originally a suspicious profession.
What do you think is the biggest reason why people with troubles come to JUNKA?
Is it an unknown mysterious force of fortunetelling?
Is it just because I am curious about JUNKA?
Or is it because it is famous for a fortuneteller?
Even if all of these reasons are true, what is the most important thing?
That is because JUNKA has the power to hear the problems of the consultant until the end! !
Humans always lose their lives in life and sometimes lose confidence.
When you can not see the future, when you are losing sight of the direction where you are standing, when you can not talk to anyone, do not worry alone by yourself!
JUNKA will guide the light in the dark for you and will divine like a family with deep love!

Simon Sørensen Meisling, född 6 oktober 1787, död 8 april 1856, var en dansk skolman och översättare.

Meisling blev student 1803 efter gymnasiestudier i Borgerdydskolen i Köpenhamn. Han utbildade sig till klassisk filolog och var översättare av grekisk och romersk poesi. Meisling är idag mest ihågkommen som latinskolerektor i Slagelse 1822–1826 och i Helsingör 1826–1839. Bland sina elever hade han H.C. Andersen. Meislings välmenta, men i detta fall illa tillämpade pedagogiska metoder gjorde skolåren 1822–1827 till den unga blivande författarens mörkaste tid. Meisling erhöll professors namn 1828.

Q: Angular RxJs get only count of values then emit What I have :
Service, in service subject and observable created from that subject.
I'm emitting e.g 3 times using 'subject.next' from 3 separate components, and subscribing in another component.
What I want to achieve ?
In my subscription filter by property, get only two first emitted values, get value with max value in property, automatically unsubscribe.
What I've tried:
const validValues = ['a','b']

this.myService.pipe(
   filter(x => validValues.some(y => y === x.name)),
   max((a,b) => a.value - b.value),
   take(2)
)

Take(2) is not working, still getting 3 values.
Any suggestions ?

A: max operator works when the source observable completes. And since the observable encapsulated by subject won't complete by default, the snippet you mentioned will never emit, unless you invoke subject.complete(). I am assuming this.myService is the subject.
this.myService.pipe(
   filter(x => validValues.some(y => y === x.name)),
   max((a,b) => a.value - b.value),
   take(2)
).subscribe(console.log)
this.myService.complete()

Having said that, what you want to achieve can be done by placing the take operator atleast before max operator. Take will unsubscribe after 2 emissions completing the source observable for max operator.
Now, based on if you want to take 2 emissions after/before filtering you can place take() after/before filter().

Polanco ist eine Gemeinde in der spanischen Autonomen Region Kantabrien. Sie liegt am rechten Ufer des Flusses Saja, in der Nähe seiner Mündung, die die Ría de San Martín, auch bekannt als Ría de Suances, bildet. Sie besteht aus Flachland in der Nähe der kantabrischen Küste mit lokalem atlantischem Klima.

Geschichte
Die verschiedenen archäologischen Stätten auf ihrem Territorium bestätigen, dass es eine menschliche Anwesenheit in dem Gebiet seit der alten Paläolithischen Periode gab, die mehrere bearbeitete Steinobjekte hinterlassen haben. In der vorrömischen Zeit ist die Anwesenheit der Kantabrer auch durch andere Fundstellen bezeugt.

Während der römischen Herrschaft wurde Polanco über die Via Agrippa erreicht, die von den römischen Legionen entlang der Küste gebaut wurde und im Mittelalter auch von Pilgern auf dem Weg nach Santiago de Compostela genutzt wurde.

in the theme-functions.php. Can this one be reverted, I don't think hardcoded css should be in the theme-functions.
I inspected the login page and didn't find any such css applied on the login page in theme's demo.
Please check again if its applied somewhere else.
I removed the code in the mentioned file as a workaround. @vapvarun only the latest update broke my custom background login color.
@vapvarun it is introduced one way or the other.

Q: How can I embed a Manipulate (or other interactive graphics) in my website using CDF? The new CDF (computable document format) lets you embed a Manipulate or other interactive graphics on your website, and users can play around with your little script using the free player.
What steps do I need to follow to

*

*Create the CDF file correctly so that it displays a static picture (that I choose) if the user doesn't have the player and fires up the player if they do?

*Make the necessary changes to my website/server to enable this?

A: You could look at the following:
http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/howto/CreateAComputableDocumentFormatFile.html
That also explains, the wizard to create the html code for your web page.
Edit: OP wanted a precis:
Select you manipulate cell and choose (v.8.0.4): File -> Deploy.
That will generate the HTML automaticaly.

A: UPDATE
See: Why does Wolfram Research no longer support the CDF plugin?
Then: Web Delivery: Cloud
Also: Wolfram Notebook Embedder
LEGACY
This is just to update everyone on this topic. Wolfram Research released detailed blog and video tutorial "CDF Embedding in a Nutshell". It shows how to use built-in Mathematica wizard to deploy CDF online into HTML pages and Word Press blogs. URL:

A: For part 2, you must add the following to your  section

For part 1, you can embed a static picture for people with no CDF plugin by using the cdf.setDefaultContent function:
cdf.setDefaultContent('
Your replacement content
');
cdf.embed('/path/to/additional.cdf', width, height);

Why Do I Miss This Person So Much?
From a teen in the U.S.: I have been dealing with a lot of different internal issues lately. I can't go back to my therapist because I am bad at explaining how I feel, and I don't have the energy to do so. I went to 3 different therapists and left them all because I felt too anxious talking to them. I don't know what kind of help I need, and I don't really know what is wrong with me because it feels like many different problems.
I have been diagnosed with sensory processing disorder, a form of depression and a form of anxiety. I feel that these are close but not really exactly what I am dealing with. I have been avoiding everything, even the things that I love, and I have been mentally exhausted. All I want to do is lay down and listen to the most calming music possible. I don't think I am impulsive but I do isolate myself out of panic and stress of going outside anywhere by myself. It is a nightmare to me, in fact I've had actual nightmares of being outside by myself. And when I am with people I experience a different kind of panic, one of more talking anxiety.
I also think I am struggling with my body, I am not really comfortable and I feel like I may have gender dysphoria. But I doubt myself, all the time. I feel disconnected to myself often even though sometimes it seems like I know myself. I always start to be confused again after a while. I also get irritated easily and uncomfortable all the time. But I am often too tired to deal with it, and so I lay down. I don't do too much, especially when im not at school or working.
I feel a disconnect to my friends who I care about deeply, I just feel like they don't understand me. I feel like no one understands how I feel or what I mean or the things I think of. I have aspirations that just get clouded by all of this. I often have headaches from doing simple things, and I get anxious even listening to music without headphones. I feel like I constantly have to be listening to some thing tranquil to block out the outside sounds that make me uncomfortable. I am also extremely sensitive to the words of others. Please help?
I can't make a diagnosis or confirm the diagnoses you have. But I do have two important suggestions.
First, see your medical doctor. You may be correct that the problems come from anxiety. But it's also possible that the anxiety is caused by an undiagnosed medical problem. I'm especially concerned about your headaches.
Secondly, send a copy of your letter to me and this response to your therapist. Your letter is an eloquent description of how you are feeling. It will help your therapist understand what you are dealing with. Then make an appointment. The first thing to address is your anxiety about addressing anything. You can't do useful therapeutic work if you are so anxious you can't begin to talk about your distress.
I'm very glad you have a therapist to return to. Even if you only had one session, some things were said that can be built on. Please, please don't quit if you get upset. The upset is exactly what you need most to be talking about. Working on it will help you get comfortable so that you can then work on the other issues.
