interesting site blogging on guns and self defense. Israel.

 

1. Here you go Peiper, a direct link and the text in question:

   DOUBLETAPPER: ("Blogging from Israel on Guns, Self Defense, and whatever else I feel like blogging about"):
   IDF Women

   “The concept of ‘one for all and all for one’ can get pretty absurd,” wrote the late columnist Sam Orbaum about his identical triplet daughters 14 years ago.

   Orbaum, who passed away in 2002 at the age of 46, wrote about life as a father of identical triplets.

   Not only did he sometimes mix them up, Orbaum wrote in his well-known wry, comic style, but he was also constantly impressed by their tight bond - when for example they stood up for one another in fights in the school sandbox.
   The three blond 19-year-old sisters are still sticking up for one another, although this time not on the playground but in the IDF Air Corps, in which they all enlisted a few months ago, making history.

   Odelia, the oldest (born a minute before her two sisters), serves as a control officer ; Nomi is an air traffic controller; and Donna is currently in training for a different position. All three plan on attending the IDF’s pestigious Office Candidate Course and extending their service for at least an additional year.

   Nomi Orbaum says, “[Serving In the IDF ] is what characterizes the state.”

   “He supported us in everything we did until he passed away when we were 12,” Donna said on how their father would feel about their serving in the IDF . “This is the seventh year since he passed away and I think about him all the time and see his smile and know that he would have been proud of us.”

   All of Israel is proud of the Orbaum Triplets!

2. Hey Tiger ... thanks but ... where did I go wrong. Heck. I’ve been doing copy or cuts and pastes since my first puter. Have no idea why I couldn’t get this. It just would not work.

3. My best guess is that prior to visiting the page you wanted to cut and paste from, that you had visited another with javascript that tried to prevent cut and paste.  It may have still been active in memory.  (That’s what happened to me once anyway.)

   To clear the problem, I just unloaded the browser from memory, started it up again, and went to the page I wanted, and I was in good shape from that point forward.

   Also, as a data point, I’m using Firefox 3.5.5.

4. Yes. I have 3.5.5 also.  Oh well. I posted as you can see. Alls well that ends.
