When war between Israel and Hamas broke out two weeks ago, the Palestinian militant group was so hamstrung, politically, economically and diplomatically, that its leaders appeared to feel they had nothing to lose. Hamas took what some here call "option zero," gambling that it could shift the balance with its trump cards: its arms and militants. Now, this conflict has demonstrated that while Hamas governed over 1.7 million people mired in poverty, its leaders were pouring resources into its military and expanding its ability to fight Israel
"There were low expectations in terms of its performance against the recent round of Israeli incursions. It's been exceeding all expectations," said Abdullah Al-Arian, a professor at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service in Qatar. "And it's likely to come out in a far better position than in the last three years, and maybe the last decade."

Re: View console log in Terminal
What's different between this and the stock "Console Messages" query provided by Console.app (in the "Show Log List" sidebar)? That query certainly looked to me like the same thing as the old console.log file (and it looks like a prettier version of what syslog -C outputs).
Re: View console log in Terminal
As I say in the hint, when Leopard came around, they removed that from Console.

Listen to Francis Boyle
By David Swanson
As evidence of Bush and Cheney's crimes is slowly pried loose from President Obama's fingers, it's easy to forget just how long ago numerous articulate voices were identifying and denouncing those crimes, none more so that Francis Boyle, who told Bill O'Reilly on his Fox News show on September 13, 2001:
NY and MA Events on Accountability, Prosecution, and War Crimes
Is it Still a Crime if a President Does it?

Demand Accountability for Torture
A new report by a journalist who has seen a secret 2007 report by the International Committee of the Red Cross concludes:
"Beginning in the spring of 2002 the United States government began to torture prisoners. This torture, approved by the President of the United States and monitored in its daily unfolding by senior officials, including the nation's highest law enforcement officer, clearly violated major treaty obligations of the United States, including the Geneva Conventions and the Convention Against Torture, as well as US law."
Here's what you can do about it:
Events are planned around the country marking the sixth anniversary of the illegal invasion of Iraq, for which there has been no accountability. From April 4 to 19, your representatives and senators will be home in their districts and states. Here are tools you can use in organizing and lobbying:
1. Print, copy, and distribute this flyer (PDF).
2. Ask your Congress member to impeach former torture memo author, now appeals court judge Jay Bybee; click here.
3. Ask your Congress member and senators to cosponsor the State Secrets Protection Act, to require court review when presidents deny access to information by claiming "state secrets;" click here.
4. Over 175 groups, including several chapters of PDA, are asking the attorney general to appoint a special prosecutor for Bush and Cheney. Add your group here:
In Solidarity,
PDA Accoutability & Justice Action Group
Progressive Democrats of America is a grassroots PAC that works both inside the Democratic Party and outside in movements for peace and justice. Our goal in 2009: Work with and increase the progressive majority in Congress as we build on our 2008 electoral successes. PDA's advisory board includes seven members of Congress and activist leaders such as Tom Hayden, Medea Benjamin, Thom Hartmann, Jim Hightower, and Rev. Lennox Yearwood.
Why Dems Liked Mukasey Better Than Holder
By David Swanson
Democrats in Congress respected former Attorney General Michael Mukasey beyond any measure he appeared to have earned, and to the extent of fully expecting him to perform his duties even in the most difficult circumstances. In contrast, the same Congress members do not believe Attorney General Eric Holder is up to the job.
Complete Recipe for Accountability: Just Add Sweat
By David Swanson, ConvictBushCheney.org
The First Step Is Prosecutions:
Sign a petition asking Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate and prosecute any and all government officials who have participated in war crimes. Sign now.
Impeach Bybee
By David Swanson
I'm fairly sure that the step that would most strongly deter future crimes by high officials in Washington would be criminal prosecution and incarceration of Bush and Cheney. At the federal level, that means asking the attorney general to appoint an independent prosecutor. And, of course, Bush and Cheney did not act alone -- others on their team should be in prison too.
Obama Supporters in DC Want Bush Arrested
By David Swanson
Sunday evening I spoke on a panel in Washington, D.C., about war crimes, and in walked a group of spirited activists led by Laurie Arbeiter wearing "Arrest Bush" sweatshirts and carrying "Arrest Bush" signs, and they were absolutely dumfounded by what they had just experienced. They'd spent the day at the train station in D.C. and on the streets of D.C. as excited Obama celebrators poured in by the tens of thousands, and they'd been unable to walk a dozen steps without people stopping them to have their photo taken with an "Arrest Bush" sign.

Green pepper jelly (very colorful)
Major Grey Chutney
Mixture of imitation crab and cocktail sauce mixed together in food processor
Do the same with Cheddar cheese spread. Place spread on serving plate. Top with strawberry jam. Sounds weird, but delicious, and again very colorful. Surround with crackers.
I picked up these little recipes about 25 years ago at a women's retreat. Chutney is my favorite. Happy New Year!

text: Hello. I just joined. Ten years ago my mother had a lump. It was removed and she had 5 weeks radiation. About a few weeks later she was bleeding from her nipple and her Dr. said it was the radiation leaving her body...don't worry. Luckily she got a second opinion. Ended up having pagets and had a mastectomy. TOUCH wood, she is 10 years cancer free :) I had a mammogram in May 09. I was called back for a more detailed one on my left breast. They found microcalcifications. No biopsy etc was ordered. Even though they know my mom's BC history they said come back in 6 months for another mammogram. That will be in about 15 weeks now..time flies! Anyone told to wait? I know the percentages etc re microcalcifications to leading to BC and I am not a worrier. I am 53 years old.

Why Pray?
We have been in a study of Prayer. We were interrupted by Christmas and the New Year. I believe that we need to learn how to pray so that we can see results.
Many Christians have prayed for years and cannot tell you for sure that �GOD ANSWERED MY PRAYERS�.
Everyone prays, Christians pray, sinners pray, heathen pray but not many results are seen.
We want to learn to Pray and get Results.
The last time we talked about Prayer we discovered the PURPOSE OF PRAYER.
#1 The Purpose of Prayer is Fellowship and Relationship.
Many pray because they have a shopping list that need to be addressed.
The primary reason for prayer is fellowship and relationship.
Jesus prayed all night several times and it was not because He was in want or need. Jesus wanted fellowship and relationship with His Father.
#2 The Way to Receive from God.
James 4: 2 Ye lust and have not: ye kill and desire to have and cannot obtain ye fight and war yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
3 Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
James says we fight and scratch and struggle to get things but that is not the way to get it.
PRAYER is the way our needs are met.
James said that if you don�t ask you will not get it.
Then he identifies 2 Reasons that prayers are not answered.
1. Ask amiss = asking for the wrong things. God will not let you have a great successful Robbery. GOD WILL NOT ANSWER A PRAYER THAT GOES AGAINST HIS NATURE.
2. Consume it upon your lusts = God does not answer selfish prayers. God will not make you rich so you can show your kinfolk you are special. God will make you rich if your desire is to help God�s Kingdom.
God knows what you have need of and he wants you to have it.
John 16:24: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
#3 The way God�s Kingdom is established in the earth is prayer.
Matt. 6:10 Thy kingdom come Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
We are to pray for God�s Kingdom and righteous rule be established in the earth.
I believe if the Church and Christians would pray for this kind of thing rather than the silly selfish things that we pray that God would hear us and heal our land and we would bring this nation back to God.
This is WHY we pray.
This is HOW we pray:
1Th 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
The last time we talked about Prayer it was called PRESISTENT PRAYER
Don�t give up in prayer, don�t give out in prayer, and don�t give in, in prayer.
Delay is not Denial.
1. Some delay is because of DEMONS
Daniel prayed for 21 days and found out it was demons that delayed the answer.
2. Some delays are DIVINE.
1. Time to focus on God and not man to supply the need.
2. Time to refine our request and see if it is a desire or a wish.
3. Test of Faith. Abraham waited 25 years
Ga 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
How to Pray
John 16: 20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament but the world shall rejoice and ye shall be sorrowful but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will

Cornerback says on Twitter he is returning to Pittsburgh. Terry McCormick
William Gay, released by the Arizona Cardinals last week, looks to be returning to the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Gay's Twitter account.
Gay was asked on Twitter by former teammate Ryan Mundy if he was coming back to the Steelers, to which Gay answered "Yea" and added that he was glad he didn't sell his condo in Pittsburgh.
Gay signed with the Cardinals as a free agent last year, but was let go as a salary cap cut. He was originally a fifth-round pick of the Steelers in 2007.

Senate GOP duncebuckets blocks Dems' minimum wage boost
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans blocked an election-year Democratic bill on Wednesday that would boost the federal minimum wage, handing a defeat to President Barack Obama on a vote that is sure to reverberate in this year's congressional elections.
The measure's rejection, which was expected, came in the early months of a campaign season in which the slowly recovering economy — and its impact on families — is a marquee issue. It was also the latest setback for a stream of bills this year that Democrats have designed to cast themselves as the party of economic fairness.
The legislation by Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, would gradually raise the $7.25 hourly minimum to $10.10 over 30 months and then provide automatic annual increases to account for inflation. Democrats argue that if fully phased in by 2016, it would push a family of three above the federal poverty line — a level such earners have not surpassed since 1979.
"Millions of American workers will be watching how each senator votes today. To them, it's a matter of survival," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said before the vote.
He pointedly added, "For Republicans, this vote will demonstrate whether they truly care about our economy."
Republicans, solidly against the Democratic proposal, say it would be too expensive for employers and cost jobs. As ammunition, they cite a February study by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office that estimated the increase to $10.10 could eliminate about 500,000 jobs — but also envisioned higher income for 16.5 million low-earning people.
"Washington Democrats' true focus these days seems to be making the far left happy, not helping the middle class," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
"This is all about politics," said No. 2 Senate GOP leader John Cornyn of Texas. "This is about trying to make this side of the aisle look bad and hard-hearted."
The vote was 54-42 in favor of allowing debate on the measure to proceed, six votes short of the 60 that Democrats needed to prevail. Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., was the only Republican to cross party lines and vote "yes." Reid switched his vote to "no," which gives him the right to call another vote on the measure. No other Democrats opposed the bill.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who has been seeking a deal with other senators on a lower figure than $10.10, said Wednesday that she will continue that effort. Maine Sen. Angus King, an independent who usually sides with Democrats, said he too favors finding middle ground.
But Democratic leaders have shown no inclination to do that — a view shared by unions that favor an increase and business groups that oppose one.
"We're not going to compromise on $10.10," Reid told reporters after the vote.
In a clear sign of the political value Democrats believe the issue has, Democrats said they intend to force another vote on the increase closer to this year's elections.
The White House issued a statement urging the bill's passage and saying the administration wants legislation "to build real, lasting economic security for the middle class and create more opportunities for every hardworking American to get ahead."
Supporters note that the minimum wage's buying power has fallen. It reached its peak value in 1968, when it was $1.60 hourly but was worth $10.86 in today's dollars.
The legislation is opposed by business groups including the National Council of Chain Restaurants and the International Franchise Association. The National Restaurant Association has hundreds of members at the Capitol this week lobbying lawmakers on several issues, including opposition to a higher minimum wage.
Also opposed were conservative organizations including Heritage Action and Americans for Prosperity, which is backed by Charles and David Koch. The billionaire brothers are spending millions this year to unseat congressional Democrats, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and his allies are casting them as unfettered villains.
Other Democratic bills that have splattered against GOP roadblocks this year would restore expired benefits for the long-term unemployed and pressure employers to pay men and women equally. Democrats plan future votes on bills easing the costs of college and child care.
Opposition from Republicans running the House makes it unlikely that chamber would debate minimum wage legislation this year.
According to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, about two-thirds of the 3.3 million people who earned $7.25 an hour or less last year worked in service jobs, mostly food preparation and serving.
More than 6 in 10 of those making $7.25 or under were women, and about half were under age 25. Democrats hope their support for a minimum wage boost will draw voters from both groups — who usually lean Democratic — to the polls in November, when Senate control will be at stake. The GOP's hold on the House is not in doubt.
Harkin's bill would also gradually increase the minimum wage for tipped workers like waiters to 70 percent of the minimum for most other workers. It is currently $2.13 hourly, which can be paid as long as their hourly earnings with tips total at least $7.25.
The minimum wage was first enacted in 1938 and set at 25 cents.
Congress has passed nine laws slowly increasing it, including one each decade since the 1980s. The minimum has been $7.25 since 2009.
Yet more proof the obstructionist duncebuckets in the Republican Party and the policies they champion are bad for America's morale.
They'd rather pander to the far-right whackos than use common sense, and that's a crying shame.

Sen. King Has Had It With Torture-lover Dick Cheney, Offers To Waterboard Him 'Hundreds' Of Times
Dick Cheney has defended torture techniques so many times that a frustrated U.S. senator has finally offered to waterboard the former vice president.
"The accusations are not true," Cheney told college television station ATV last week. "Some people called it torture. It wasn't torture."
"If I would have to do it all over again, I would," he insisted. "The results speak for themselves."
A report that has been completed by the Senate Intelligence Committee, however, has found that the CIA misled the government and misstated the effectiveness of the so-called enhanced interrogation program. The report concluded that the CIA lied when it said it had gotten "otherwise unobtainable intelligence that helped disrupt terrorist plots and save thousands of lives."
Sen. Angus King, who is on the intelligence committee, (I-ME) reacted to Cheney's comments during a Sunday appearance on MSNBC.
"I was stunned to hear that quote from Vice President Cheney," King explained. "If he doesn't think that was torture, I would invite him anywhere in the United States to sit in a waterboard and go through what those people went through, one of them a hundred and plus-odd times."

Maine Senate Candidate Will Decide Party Affiliation After Election | TPM Livewire
Angus King, the independent former governor who is running for Maine's open Senate seat, won't say which party he will caucus with until after he's elected in November, reports USA Today. In an interview, King said, "I don't answer that question because I don't know."
I bet he caucuses with the Democrats.

Angus King steps into Maine Senate race - CNN
(CNN) - Angus King, the former independent governor of Maine, jumped into the race to replace retiring U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe Monday, telling a crowd a Brunswick, Maine he would help America's economy return to solvency.
"This country's got some real serious problems," King told a crowd at Bowdoin College, where he is a lecturer. "Putting people back to work the very first one, and numbers don't tell the whole story."
King served as Maine's governor from 1995-2003, and was one of the nation's only governors not affiliated with either the Republican or Democratic Parties. His speech Monday struck a note of defiance against partisan politics gripping Washington, noting the gridlock was the reason Snowe decided to step down.
"It doesn't have to be the way it is today," King said. "It has not always operated like that. Now it's about politics and getting ready for the next election. And you know what, instead of solving our nation's problems, the best they could do was drive out an extraordinary woman, and that's wrong."

Standard on D. Lotus rootstock.
Zones: 7-9
Chill hours: 200
Harvest: November 15 - December 10
Looks: Large, acorn-shaped fruit with deep red-orange skin and deep orange flesh.
Personality: Sweet, flavorful, astringent until soft-ripe. The ripe fruit feels like holding a bag of jelly and the skin is translucent. A ripe Hachiya is sweeter than Fuyu.
Facts of note: Low chill hours, good choice for milder climates. The mature fruit can be left out in boxes at room temperature to ripen. Whole, ripened fruit can be frozen to be used later. It can also be dried while it is still firm and it will become sweet during the dehydration process. The tree is productive and highly ornamental with beautiful glossy green foliage in the summer and red, orange, and yellow fall foliage in the fall. A mature standard sized persimmon tree can bear 330 to 660 lb of fruit in a season. Fruit requires hot summers for ripening. A good variety for drying and pickling.
Pollination: Self-fruitful.
There are two types of persimmon fruit: astringent and non-astringent. The acorn shaped Hachiya is an example of the astringent type and must be eaten when it is soft or else it is far from tasty. The non-astringent type, like Fuyu, can be eaten when they are still firm because they do not contain the high levels of tannic acid the astringent types do. Beautiful tree in late fall when fruit hangs on trees after leaves have fallen. Striking, dark green leaves turn shades of yellow, orange, and red. The trees are two years old and should begin fruiting in their 3rd year. Be careful not to overwater the tree or it could delay its leafing out. On standard rootstock (D. lotus seedling). By pruning you can keep your tree at any height.
When planting Persimmons it is important to remember that persimmons are not water loving plants. After the tree is planted it should be watered in with a good soaking to remove air pockets in the soil and then left alone. The plant shouldn't be watered again until the buds start to break. Excessive watering is the primary cause of failure in bare root Persimmons. They will benefit from periodic wetting of the trunk, however, to help against dessication.
Please Note: Although most of our bare-root trees arrive to our warehouse in mid-December, there are a few varieties -- Mulberry, Pecan, Persimmon, Quince, and Walnut -- that will not arrive until mid-January. If you order any of those varieties along with varieties that arrive in mid-December, your order will be delayed for shipment until mid-January unless you ask us to split your shipments and agree to pay any additional shipping charges resulting from two separate shipments.
Check out our Fruit Tree Harvest Chart to plan for successive harvests.

Houston Texans star running back Arian Foster is done for the rest of the 2013 season, as he will need back surgery to repair a ruptured/herniated disc in his back. Foster tried as hard as possible to avoid surgery, but none of the three experts he spoke to would give him the "OK" to continue playing this year and avoid surgery. He also tried to hold off surgery until the offseason, but it sounds like that won't be the case. The NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported earlier today that Foster will undergo surgery on either Wednesday or Thursday, and the Texans will officially announce his placement on the injured reserve tomorrow.
Now the Houston Chronicle's John McClain, who first raised the issue of possible season-ending surgery for Arian Foster, reports that Foster's surgery will occur in Los Angeles and will be done by the famous Dr. Robert Watkins. As Rapoport and the National Football Post's Joel Corry explain, Rob Gronkowski, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Houston Rockets superstar Dwight Howard all had surgeries done by Watkins. The most notable of those names is Gronkowski, who has had a number of nagging back injuries throughout his career, stemming from his college days with the Arizona Wildcats.
With Foster out for the season, it's up to Ben Tate to shoulder the load under four cracked ribs. Dennis Johnson is an intriguing back who should be picked up as a curiosity stash in deep fantasy leagues (I'm a Foster owner and just added him), because he will receive significant carries if Tate can't hold up under the wait. Due to all the details released about Foster's surgery by McClain, it's very likely that Foster will go under the knife within the week.

text: She walked down the street, decidedly determined to play into the idea that her flower had closed up. She knew how she was when it was closed, and she didn't think there was any point in trying to open it. That would mean too many risks, and too much energy. And anyway, she was tired, so tired, so tired. So she crossed her arms and looked down at the sidewalk, absently picking at a frayed flap of skin that she had picked from her lip. That's how she knew - she could read her symptoms well. That's how she knew she was feeling inadequate, it was the way she would pick herself until she would somehow fit into the perfect mold that would free her and open her up to being good enough for the rest of the world. She knew it didn't work, she knew it just resulted in bleeding lips and scars that wouldn't heal, but it felt so good to "fix" herself like this. She walked along, looking downward at the ground and inward at her laundry list of things to do and ways to be. She was closed and she knew it. She could feel the ceiling of thoughts pressing down on her. No, she thought, no, there would be no talking to anyone today, there would be no fantasies of beautiful men in her bed. None of that. Today she was closed, she was an island within herself and she was keeping it that way.

The Rochester Americans finally return home after a five game road trip – and they face off against their interstate rivals and one of the league best Syracuse Crunch. This will be the ninth time the I-90 Rivals meet, and the Rochester Americans hold a solid 6-2 lead in the series.
Heading into tonights game, both teams need the two points to cement their position in the standings. Syracuse can regain the league lead in points, as they trail the Texas Stars of the Western Division by one point.
For the Rochester Americans, it is a long road to the end of the season. While comfortably sitting in the playoff picture, they are six points behind the Toronto Marlies for the division lead, with the same number of games played. They can move up as far as fifth in the standings tonight – as they are only two points behind the Houston Aeros.
Tonight's contest will be televised live on Time Warner Sports Channel – as is Friday nights game against division leading Toronto.
As Rochester closes in on the end of the season, it has been a season of highs and lows, ups and downs. From callups to the struggling Buffalo Sabres, as well as the loss of their coach to the big club, Rochester has endured. On the recent road trip, Mark Mancari became the first Rochester player this year to eclipse the 20 goal mark.
Both clubs come into tonight's contest on winning notes, with Rochester playing to a 3-0 victory – without David Leggio in net; and Syracuse coming off a 3-1 victory.

Featured Golf News
Mountain View Course a Family Affair
The two-centuries-old Miller Farm north of Webster Springs, West Virginia has been transformed into the Mountain View Golf Course. The first nine holes, which cost $277,000 to build, opened in spring 2000. Course manager and co-owner Ed Snyder designed and built a track that sits atop a ridge 2,400 feet above sea level.
Several members of Snyders family formed an ownership corporation for the course, which they will manage. Before the back nine is constructed the Snyders plan to sell some of the timber on the property to cover expenses.
Building a course was new to Snyder, who previously worked as a coal miner and electrical contractor. Before breaking ground, he played nearly every course in the state to research the Mountain View project. A clubhouse is under construction on the foundation of the old Miller Farm homestead; views from the structure take in the golf course and nearby mountains. For a tee time, call 304/847-5928.

I see no reason why you couldn't tank ICC10 at least with what you have, at least from a gear perspective.
I only gem for stamina bonuses when the socket bonus > 50% the stam lost from not stacking a pure stamina gem. And even then it's only if I need that stat (Like expertise).
Remember you can only RS as long as you have RP and whiteswings to use it on. I'm not sure what the numbers are, but I run around 45% avoidance inside ICC and it's clearly my top threat producer. I wish I was better at reading logs so I could understand how many whiteswings aren't converted to RS, but it seems like plenty are.
I highly recommend the black heart over the thumb. Again, I am prioritizing EH over avoidance, but that's the way to go these days for most fights (some rare fights still prioritize avoidance, like Saurfang). Trinkets are not 'set it and forget it'. Keep em all on you, change em out as the situation demands (IE. Lady Deathwhisper, so much magic damage means pure stam trinkets are likely your best bet)

HAVE YOU SEEN THE DOM? GYPSIES OF JERUSALEM LOST AMIDST ETERNAL STRIFE [Egypt Independent]
While it is a community that has lived in the city for centuries, not many have heard of the Dom in Jerusalem.
"Few people know that we are the Gypsies of the Middle East," says Amoun Sleem, director of the Domari Society of Gypsies in Jerusalem.
The cultural center she runs was founded as an NGO in 1999 and is located in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Shu'fat, on the road to Ramallah.
"The Gypsy communities migrated from India in the seventh century. Then they separated into two migration waves. One resulted in the Dom, which settled in the Middle East; the other is the Roma community, known to most people as the Gypsies of Eastern Europe," she says.
Today, struggling to survive in the shadow of the political tensions of the region, both the Gypsy cultural heritage and the Dom identity are threatened. The Dom people are non-Arabs, mostly Muslims, living in predominantly Arab communities.
"The word 'dom' means 'man' in Domari, the language of the Gypsies of this area," explains Sleem.
Contrary to mainstream belief, not all Gypsy communities are nomadic. A sedentary lifestyle has characterized the life of the Dom for many centuries. The Gypsies of Jerusalem make a living working as drivers, nurses, street cleaners and cooks, and are employed in the textile industry as workers.
Despite counting few members, the Gypsies of Jerusalem are an integral part of the city's heritage; no less than Muslim, Jewish or Christian people.
"The Dom people who settled in Jerusalem have been residing in the Old City for over 400 years," Sleem points out.
Other Gypsy communities can be found in the Palestinian refugee camps of Jordan, in the Kurdish region of Turkey, in Syria, Iraq and Daqahlia in Egypt.
The Dom community of Jerusalem finds itself caught in the crossfire of the Arab-Israeli conflict, partaking with neither side but being influenced by both.
Khamis, a man in his mid-40s, has seven children; both he and his wife are of Dom origin.
"There is no justice for non-Jewish communities. Discrimination at work is directed toward all Arabs, and the Dom, even if ethnically different, are considered part of them," he says.
"We merge with the Arab community so we don't stand out and spark hatred. We keep a low profile," he explains.
The situation of the Dom people worsened after Israel's construction of the separation barrier. Many families found themselves living "on the other side of the wall," without being able to reach family members. They cannot move freely to seek work.
Making a living became more and more difficult, creating a new obstacle in the struggle of the Dom people.
Poverty and marginalization
"We must rely on our own resources and motivation to preserve our heritage and survive," says Sleem.
"When we receive donations of clothes and food, we sometimes cross the checkpoints to bring them to the isolated Dom communities in the West Bank," she adds.
The Gypsies who reside in Jerusalem are educated in the system of the municipality under Israeli administration. At Khamis' home in the Palestinian refugee camp of Shu'fat, located behind the wall in East Jerusalem, no one speaks Domari. The Domari language is of Indo-Aryan origin, it is not written and it is threatened with extinction. Dom children study Hebrew and Arabic starting in primary school, a useful tool to compete in the challenging job market.
Poverty and marginalization often lead to a very high school dropout rate. The Domari Center offers educational support to children and adults, especially women.
The presence of the Dom Gypsies in Jerusalem is unknown to most people. They seem to merge with local communities, embracing their cultural features but remaining detached.
"I have never heard of the Gypsies of Jerusalem. Are there Gypsies here?" asks a shopkeeper whose business is located just opposite the Domari Center.
This is the predominant reaction of the local population when asked about the Dom people.
"Gypsies of Jerusalem? Ah, you mean the nawar! No one knows where they came from; some say they are from the south," a bakery owner says. Nawar is a word used in Palestinian Arabic to describe someone who is not too brilliant and, also, to define the Gypsies.
"I never tell people I am Gypsy. Palestinians don't know what it means and I don't want to always explain it," confesses Heba, a student.
Tensions in the region and divisions rooted in decades of conflict have not spared the Dom community. Corruption and power struggles led to hostilities between Gypsy families, pushing them to abandon the core of Dom life, based on their common ethnic background, to seek integration elsewhere.
"We believe in fate. It is all maktoub, written in the traces of history left by our predecessors. We will survive and teach our descendents about our heritage," Sleem says.
Outside, in the courtyard, young girls and boys paint colorful Gypsy dancers. Here they learn to be proud of their identity as part of a city full of challenges, which Jerusalem has always been.
The Dom have strong feelings of belonging to Jerusalem.
"Jerusalem is my home, I want to stay here. Where can I go? I like it here, all my family photographs have been taken here," Heba explains.
The longer version of this piece was originally published in Egypt Independent's weekly print edition.
I <3 Amoun Sleem with all my heart and wish I could be as fucking AMAZING as she is. What a STRONG Domari woman.
so i just saw a phrase "g***y magic" and i googled it to get more sense of what "g***y magic" was referring to because it made me uncomfortable as fuck just looking at it. i found a large amount of wicca sites claiming to know the magic of the romani/dom people. i'm not familiar with wicca at all (asides from the little i remember when i was 10 and wanted to be a witch), so this whole sect of "g***y magic" really stunned me. my immediate concerns were its truthfulness and whether or not it was something that outsiders could participate in. there is a real danger of people borrowing from racist stereotypes of ethnic groups to create what they believe are "traditions" of this group or actually taking things that are not allowed. for example, a lot of people espouse philosophy that is apparently "native-american", when it is just a made up jumble of racist stereotypes of what first nations people in the americas believe. so i've been looking stuff up to see whether or not my suspicions are valid and i found this post, which i will now share with you.
"it is not possible for romani or dom traditions to be taught and practiced by outsiders of the culture. these traditions are passed down through family and community. and people are only considered part of these communities if they adhere to various traditional connections to their ethnic communities. just throwing things together and calling them 'gypsy traditions' doesn't work – the community has to welcome you and feel that connection between you and their culture. otherwise, you are gadje - an outsider. even those brought into the community through marriage or birth may not be considered part of the culture if they are detached from various aspects that make up that culture. yes, even with romani or dom heritage, you can be gadje. on top of that, the majority of romani and dom are christian because of the (white, christian, often focusing on conversion) dominant cultures they live in. so some of the folk traditions and beliefs are beginning to slowly die out, only maintained by the few. painting all romani and dom with these traditions and beliefs ignores the slow erasure of folklore and culture through cultural assimilation.
third, the distribution of traditions painted as 'gypsy magic' to outside audiences en masse is a form of culture appropriation. as mentioned in the previous paragraph, the cultures of the romani and dom people are closed to those they do not welcome. taking these traditions, or even things that one labels as 'gypsy traditions' (even if they have no actual relation and are thus compromised of stereotypical bullshit), is appropriation of their culture for one's own personal gain. that is stealing…
fourth, many of the traditions of 'gypsy magic' or tarot is based off of ethnic stereotypes, romanticizing images and ideas that are far from representative of the people these stereotypes are attached to. after all, many of those that are slandered as 'gypsies' aren't even romani! folks like the pavee may even be white and have their own traditions, thus hardly the depiction of dark skinned ethnic beauties in their golden jewelry and brightly colored clothes. what's worse, these popular depictions of 'gypsies' in fantasy worlds such as games, books and movies suggest that they don't even exist anymore! like they're some sort of magical fairies that add color and excitement (or theft and deception, like that's so much better!) to such environments and then magically disappear from the world during the medieval times. yeah, the folks that are suffering from racial, class and cultural oppression throughout europe and various other locations throughout the world? don't exist, apparently. those molotov cocktails being thrown into their homes and fascist organizations terrorizing entire communities just for existing? fiction, apparently. and their voices shouting at the world to stop these assaults on their peoples? just whispers in the wind."
i'm looking for more information on this (because i'm curious to see exactly how inaccurate this concept is) but seriously y'all, i think the fact that the phrase "g***y magic" relies on an ethnic SLUR is a great clue that it's racist as fuck. the hints of cultural appropriation and reliance on ethnic stereotypes with the term is also RACIST AS FUCK. don't use this goddamn phrase.

Today, Dom communities reside in Cyprus, Iran, Iraq/Kurdistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel/West Bank/Gaza, and Turkey.
Today, the Dom of Jerusalem still reside near the Lions Gate, behind the ancient walls of the Old City. This community consists of approximately 1,000 people, while larger populations live in Judea, Samarea, Gaza, and the West Bank.
While prior generations of Dom were nomadic, holding occupations such as blacksmiths, horse dealers, musicians, dancers, and animal healers, for over one hundred years the Jerusalem Gypsies have been living a sedentary lifestyle. While they originally settled in the Wadi Joz neighborhood of East Jerusalem, they later moved into the Old City and Migdal Ha Chasidah neighborhood. Typical of Gypsy populations, they accepted the local language and religion, in this case, Arabic and Islam.
The Dom of Jerusalem have not been immune from the turmultous history of this region, and their populations within the city have greatly reduced over the years. The greatest immigration occurred after the 6 Days War of 1967, after hiding in the Church of St. Anne, within the walls of the Old City for the duration of the conflict. Those who fled now reside in Syria, Egypt, and Jordan, reducing the population from 200 families to less than 70 in the 1990s. During this time, the younger generation have become less interested in the ancient traditions and culture, preferring to assimilate into the neighboring Arab communities. Because of this, the Dom language is rarely used in everyday speech, and the traditional dress and other customs have largely been abandoned. This self-afflicted and imposed assimilation is contributed to the discrimination and marginalization the Gypsies face from both the Jewish and Arab population, and as a result the economic and social limitations that come from being identified and recognizable as Gypsy. These problems are perpetuated by a high drop-out rate, leading to high illiteracy.

"The Middle East is home to many ancient and indigenous small peoples whose powerlessness makes their history little known-indeed, virtually hidden. Such a lack of power often signifies the absence of speech, of a public and recorded voice to articulate the existence, condition, and vision of a people."
Mordechai Nisan, "The Minority Plight" in Middle East Quarterly (September, 1996)
In the Middle East & North Africa many Romani still refer to themselves as Dom or Domi. Other names that are used to designate Gypsy people in the M.E. include Barake, Nawar, Kaloro, Koli, Kurbat, Ghorbati, Jat/Zott and Zargari. These names are usually more "tribe specific" but some are used in a more general sense by non-Gypsies. Often the terms carry a pejorative meaning. The term "Nawar," for example, is one of the most widely used designations in the Arab world. The word is commonly used as an insult. In turn, it is applied to the Gypsies, not only as an ethnic designation, but also to designate them as worthless. The Persians use the word Koli in much the same way. These labels are a part of the general negative stereotyping of the Gypsy people in the Middle East.
Originally coming from India, the Gypsies are now scattered throughout the world numbering more than forty million people. Though their stories of persecution in Europe are widely publicized, little has made its way into print regarding the lives of the two to three million Dom who live in the Middle East.

However the support is always there to help and they did the best they could! That's why I'm reviewing this extension as average, it might not have worked for me but nonetheless the support service was very helpful! I reckon I was just unlucky but this plugin is working with most sites :)!
Thanks for taking the time to Review. I am also sorry you gave up :) All you had to do was disabling loading of an older jQuery in your template. I could have done that for you, but you never gave me the chance.
Thanks to the author!

Its said that Venus in a house represents a 'relationship' with the themes governing that house in particular. When you pair Venus with the 2nd house, you have a very interesting combination. In le ancient greek myth, Venus is said to be ruled by Aphrodite and frolics over the 2nd and 7th houses because they represent love, art and material possessions. In the 2nd house, thats exactly the case.
Venus in the 2nd house people LOVE their material goods. They might even find that they get more of a pulse out of accumulating useless deals through a Black Friday sale than a cheery romantic comedy. Venus is in one of its homes here, so there's a love affair with wealth. They might be hoarders, shopaholics or classic 'defensive eaters' because they believe that everything they want should naturally be theirs..by any means necessary.
The advantage to this placement might give someone the leverage to be very successful financially. This is the house of Taurus and Taurus believes in all things security. These are the people that have the best life insurance lying perpendicular to their bank account balances. To them, there's a 'comfort' and security in having "things." In extreme cases, its luxury. In more mild cases, its a safety net. They're also this way with friends. You won't catch a Venus in the 2nd with a risky best friend or even acquaintance. They have a tendency to look down on people who constantly get themselves into a jam because they just can't fathom ever having it themselves. They'd rather be safe than sorry and there's a sort of modern wisdom behind this way of thinking.
If you have Venus in the 2nd House, consider accounting, real estate or anything that directly associates you to money because you'll have a natural affinity for it..and in THIS day and age, its recommended we all befriend someone like this. Ironically, these people will also keep Bravo spendthrift reality shows and financial consultants in business.
Gotta love the 2nd house.

Why butterflies you ask? I've done a bit of reading on this one, and its said that Venus in the 1st house represents a "social butterfly" of sorts. Since Venus = Relationships and the 1st house represents the self, Venus in 1st house means "Your relationship with others and yourself." They're social butterflies because their lives exist around the connections with others they create.
This placement has two sides. On one hand, you have someone who supposedly has a very well crafted sense of self. They're individualistic and can distinctly carve out their opinions and their beliefs from those of everyone else. On the flip side, all of those beliefs, opinions and HOW this person is crafted dependently rely on their relationships WITH other people. Get the link?
According to Venus in the 1st house, they build their self image by sometimes over prioritizing relationships in their lives. Its as if they can't-exist-without them. Even though some astrologers and amateur star gazers associate this position to Libra because they say that Venus in the 1st gives this person a love of beauty, charm and finesse, we think that that's just hitting the surface.
If your love life directly correlates with the relationship you have with yourself, then romance becomes a number one thing to you or your social relationships outweigh your other responsibilities.

(Direct Natal Chart Links)
For our next special segment, we're going to talk about Venus in the houses. If you do your natal chart on cafeastrology, astro.com or any other site that allows you to see your houses because you've provided your birth time, something very special happens when your natal Venus falls into a house.
Starting now into the next week, we're going to dedicate ourselves to those that have this alignment. Doesn't mean that there's anything 'extra' about them. When a natal planet (say mars or uranus) falls into one of your houses, it means that THAT particular area of your life is going to have a little extra moan and "oompf!" For example, there are some people out there that have multiple planets in one house and others that have them scattered. Someone that has Neptune falling into their 12th, 8th and 7th houses might be someone that tends to lose themselves and forget the world around them in their relationships socially and romantically and feel as if they have some spiritual attachment to them. When a planet falls into a house, it makes that area in your life MUCH more emphasized and it creates a pattern of events that circulate around them.
If you don't have Venus in any of your houses, it doesn't mean that you're less lovable, unsexy or anything negative. It means that another area of your chart is going to have a little more emphasis. For instance, maybe you have multiple planets like your Sun, Moon and Mars in Capricorn and they fall into your 2nd, 4th and 10th houses? THAT means that love is totally secondary to you and you're going to be the next Donald Trump with how much fucking money you might make because you value discipline over playtime. See? There is NOTHING to be ashamed of!
Keep your boxers and your panties on folks because you're REALLY going to have fun with this one!
We also have a schedule now!

Well, not literally..thank god. In the traditional sense and for the sake of political correctness, the 7th house is known as the marriage house because its ruled by Libra and Libra governs everything legal and social relationships. If you combine them, you basically get the structure of marriage. The outer shell, the exoskeleton. Like Libra, its everything dealing with appearances.
"Structure" is the word we're honing in on. Your 7th house out of the 12 you have represents the structure that you prefer to have in relationships. Whether its a power play or a relationship where you're the damsel in distress, the 7th governs the dynamic that you prefer. When you want to have an idea about what you're like in love, you look at your Venus, Mars and your 7th and 8th houses to start out with. Lets look at some examples of how this works -
7th house water signs think that marriage is as good as an oath written in blood. While 7th house pisceans look for more of a prince or princess figure in a mate, 7th house cancernarians will either look after their mates and portray a male-cancer or want a partner who protects THEM and portrays a female cancer.
- - - - - -
At the same time, you also combine what Pisces typically values in relationships. Think of the 7th house as the pseudo version of a venus sign. So a 7th house pisces would be a bit similar to a venus in pisces. Relationship wise, this person may have a tendency to be more traditional and might hold off on love until they've found the one they've dreamed of.

After your extensive 3 day wait, we give you the much awaited Venus Aspect Pluto -
Sextiles, Trines and some Conjunctions of this aspect give someone an incredible sense of intuition. These people often have a ferociously prominent sex drive and will navigate between two extremes – Either they'll exhaust their bodies by using sex as a method of 'exercise' because they subconsciously equate sex to spiritual transformation or they'll radiate that sexuality, but will hold out for the ones they deem worthy of their time.
+ These people are ridiculously passionate and in love, they'd willingly die for the people that they care for. Pluto, like Neptune represents a tendency towards obsession because everything it believes must be absolute. There's no half assing anything or attempting to manipulate the environment around these people. Their senses are very fine tuned and they tend to pick on on details and subtle nuances that others could have never imagined. Consider it a gift from Scorpio.
Squares and Oppositions leave someone in a position of diplomacy. Since Scorpio used to co-rule Mars alongside Ares, the tendencies towards rage and a need for control become highlighted with this aspect. People with these particular aspects have a need to control their partner or they require that there's a constant struggle for power. To Scorpios in general, its rare that they can function in relationships unless there's some sort of hot, underlying tension seeping beneath the surface. In love, those with this aspect will either find a partner who they can dominate or someone that they give the impression they're being dominated by, but pull the strings in secret.

Oh, this is going to be a good one. I've been waiting to cover these last two aspects -
Happier Venus-Neptune aspects are going to give someone the tendency to delve into spirituality or have an interest ..or obsession with what the naked eye can't see. They're curious kittens and will never take anything at face value. They're enthralled by what's lurking under the surface and make very sensitive people and lovers that are fascinated by fairy tale like endings and dynamics. They make women that wait for their princes or princess charmings and men that willingly throw themselves into the depths of love affair after love affair to find their 'soul mate.' These are the ones that often make 100 point lists about what their 'ideal lover' would be like. At their highest however, when they're not drenched in their own emotions, they have this uncanny ability to see the best in people when others see only murk and darkness.
At their worst with challenging aspects, please..DO beware. People with Venus-Neptune oppositions and squares are often quite deluded in love. They're easily mislead and often represent poor and innocent lambs accidentally being dragged to a slaughter. Their hyper sensitivity gets the best of them and sometimes they have a tendency to choose lovers that are as self destructive as themselves. Like mermaids that wake up one day thinking that they're saints, they go for "troubled" partners and pathological liars that they think that they can magically save with the force of true love. They're also ridiculously down about themselves because they feel alone in comparison to everyone else because they create this reality where they willingly make themselves into the black sheep, or they ARE the black sheep because its hard for most people to relate to them. These people often need a good friend to drag them out of their habits because if you leave them on their own, they'll be one step away from destroying themselves because if they're not falling in love to escape reality, they'll be creating a reality out of another kind of addiction.

This one's going to be a fun one.
In love, happy Venus-Uranus aspects such as trines and sextiles give people the advantage of valuing autonomy in relationships. Sometimes they value it so much that they're bouncing from continent to continent with a different lover in every city. They don't like to feel tied down or smothered and they loathe traditional dynamics in relationships. Where's the polyamory? Where's the swinger's club? Where's that kinky little crevice in the forest where we can have orgies under the glowing moonlight? They also tend to value switches in gender roles in who leads the relationship. These people tend to attract lovers who have an other wordly presence about them and who probably aren't fully accepted by the general public. Venus-Uranus people are the epitome of Amanda Palmer's and Neil Gaiman's relationship - It strikes most as very oddballish and unpredictable, but to them its home.
Challenging Venus-Uranus aspects unfortunately drive people to a bit of madness because instead of seeking a healthy sense of autonomy, these people fear RELATIONSHIPS in general. Some of them will up and leave a potential romantic connection in the middle of the night if they fear that it'll make them "settle down." They become flighty, unstable and have trouble deciding if they want a lover or someone exactly like themselves. At their worst, it makes someone associate intimacy with a conventional relationship and sends them packing right as someone THINKS that they've got them interested in them. There's a tendency to want to sabotage relationships as soon as an emotional connection becomes established in this sense.
06 . 01 . 2013
I've been wanting to cover these outer planets for a very long time because I feel as if love REALLY hits those hardest that are afflicted by it. What's ironic about it is that the inner planets represent more of the SELF in romantic relationships, whereas the outer planets represent more of the OTHER in relationships. Lets explore these together.
For those with happy trines, sextiles and occasionally some non malefic conjunctions, Saturn in aspect to Venus gives someone the belief that they have to take on an astonishingly large amount of responsibility in their relationships. They're very steadfast, headstrong and loyal people who believe that life will do you good if you put your nose to the grindstone and earn life's riches yourself. In the romantic sense, you're usually going to have people who might end up blooming later in life. While everyone's out dating their closest friends and having random sexual Craigslist encounters, they're the ones who seem to be forever-single calling them in the middle of the night for emotional support.
These people shine when they're sacrificing themselves to those they love. In a very masochistic sense, they think that nothing good exists unless you have to suffer in order to get it or to maintain it. If you combine this sort of thinking to modern times, you have people who serve as the backbone to relationships with ill suited partners that they keep around because they have this idea that they have a responsibility to look after them.
For those with oppositions, squares and placements less happy and sing song, you have people that turn the conflict that they endure with resilience and turn it onto themselves. These people have a tendency to be very self loathing and hyper self critical. They make themselves set impossible standards and think that they have a "responsibility" to uphold them. In this relationship with themselves, they're both the slave AND the slave master or authoritarian figure. There's usually a large block in between them and their vulnerable emotional natures. The thing is with Saturn is that its a zero-tolerance zone for anything sensitive or moon related. So as a result, these challenging aspects make people FEAR vulnerability in any sense. So while they're craving love, they simultaneously believe that they are completely unworthy of it.
04 . 01 . 2013
Beware of the baby-makers and condom dispenser raiders of the zodiac - These people have got serious game or simultaneously have some of the most addicting "love and lost" stories next to Venus in aspect to Neptune.
Venus-Mars aspects represents aphrodite making love to the god of war himself. It combines the throws of passion with an appetite for love and forget-me-nots. People with Venus-Mars sextiles and trines are those who are constantly asking their partners for seconds and thirds on the bedroom floor and in the kitchen before the folks get home. They're the people that wonder if there's going to be sex on the first date and probably have a phone or an OKCupid account full of waiting potentials incase that date was a total dud. They're the alpha, beta and gamma males and females who probably have a better idea about the art of sex appeal than half of the population.
At their worst, challenging aspects (squares, conjunctions and oppositions) create people that are so addicted to love that they often confuse it with a gratifying sexual release. These are the people that are roaming into their late 20s, 30s and 40s still swinging into the singles scene while their friends wonder why they can't get into long, term relationship. They usually claim that its hard to find someone who can keep up with them sexually, but its usually a charade to hide their fears of intimacy.

Venus - Mercury aspects represent someone who's love life is tied to the intellectual side of their relationships and they're usually the lover who takes every message literally or might even over analyze it to death because any sort of message is law to them. On a social scale, they're probably the ones who have 16 extra email accounts and have hopped on top of every sort of social network known to man. Remember that old Livejournal you abandoned in 2006? They probably have 4 or 5 separate accounts for that.
Positive Venus - Mercury aspects (sextiles, conjunctions and trines) give people the leverage to have an endless web of different friends. They're usually social butterflies or moths. While they're great at being personable because people often feel as if they can "tell them anything," they run the risk of appearing two faced because they're able to mirror other people's opinions because they'd rather agree than cause conflict.
Challenging Venus - Mercury aspects (squares and oppositions) often cause people to have trouble communicating their feelings to their lovers. There's usually a thick cement block between their head and their heart and its easier for them to talk about love than to actually realize that they have the potential to feel such a thing. In relationships they're prone to accidentally sending mixed signals because they have trouble telling their lovers what they actually want.
