(Not So Famous) Five Have A Moroccan Adventure

So we ride down the ramp and into the port, as I pulled up and took my place in the line I was approached by a guy with a name tag and some papers who asked for my bike documents, at first I ignored him, but he got more persistant so I handed it over. He started filling out a form which I guessed was the D16 form (this is the form needed to import motor vehicles into the country). Prior to the trip we had filled our D16 forms out online. Terry asked me if the guy was a genuine worker and told me to show the guy my D16 form, I did this and the guy screwed the piece of paper he was writing on and then asked me for some money
I told him no.
Once we had sorted all the forms out and the officials had seen and stamped our passports we were fianlly allowed to go through the large gates and beyond.
First thing we needed to sort out our insurance. As soon as we were through the gates we were approached by two guys asking if we needed insurance and dirhams (Moroccan currency). The first guy was to-ing and fro-ing between the insurance office and saying he could do this for so much and for so many weeks would be another price. While this was going on the second guy kept asking if we needed money and he could give us a good rate.
We decided to approach the insurance office ourselves and the woman inside couldn't have been more helpful and we sorted it out ourselves to the dismay of our new found friend. We then took advantage of the other guy with the wad of dirhams as the minibank wasn't working, we found ourselves and the bikes centre of attention as we were beginning to attract more and more onlookers, we soon kitted up and rode out into the melee.
I've ridden in some busy places, London, Rome, Genoa, but in relation to Tangier they're a ride in the park! The day we arrived was a public holiday and the streets were rammed! Kids shouted and waved at us, some gave us the bird
Horns blasted, lights changed to green, more horns blasted, cars, bicycles, trucks and buses fought for a space on the road. Roundabouts were a challenge, it was like a game of chicken, you really had to have eyes in the back of your helmet! We managed to make our way out of the city and finally make our way south.
As darkness began to decend on us we travelled on a rollercoaster of a road and witnessed a car travelling the wrong way down a road we were riding on, a cyclist cutting across us and then we saw a guy on a scooter with a kid on the back riding down the other side of the road......... the wrong way!
We eventually reached the end of the kamikaze road in one piece and found a hotel in Chefchouen.
As we slowed down as we passed a couple of hotels a guy came runnng out asking us to follow him to his hotel claiming he would do us a good deal. We settled on 20 euros for the night each and when I asked about secure parking for the bikes he simply opened the double doors and invited us to ride into the hotel foyer/dining room
Rob and Jack happy we'd found a hotel after the hairy ride.
The gent offered to take us into town for food once we'd all been showered and changed which we did and we tried our first tagine of the trip, it wasn't very good!
Terry with some local headwear
The narrow streets of the town were much better as we returned the next morning to take some pictures of the cool blue painted houses.
We then returned to the hotel to kit up, get the bikes out of the dining room/reception and get on the road.
Petes' bike outside the hotel.
The weather was warming up despite the early morning.
We stopped to take a few pictures as the scenery was pretty stunnng.
Keeping out of the sun.
We passed through many small villages in the Rif Mountains on the way down. We all had an assault on our senses as we rode through, without any tarmac underneath us, some of the villages felt a tad intimidating as some of the older kids shouted at us, some just stared and some younger kids threw stones. You could just sense an underlying almost threatening atmosphere, but we all passed through with no incident at all. I must say some of the younger kids did wave at us which was pretty heartwarming for me.
We found the start of a piste and got kitted up putting on our body armour. Some of the locals came to talk to us too which was great.
It turned out not to be much of a piste though as it had been covered in tarmac, but it was good practice for Jack and I 2-up as the tarmac ran out for a few yards at a time every now and then. Then we had our first slight mishap of the trip, Petes' bike had spluttered to a halt. He knew exactly what it was, as some of the 950's have a fairly common fault with the fuel pump.
We were in the middle of nowhere, but luckily we knew what the problem was and it was a quick fix. Pete dropped the bash plate so we could get access to the fuel pump, removed the cover to get at the points. When the cover was removed we could see that the points had just stuck together and a quick tap and wiggle they were free. Pete started the bike up a couple of times to be sure all was well, once it was the cover was replaced and all buttoned back up and we were back on the road.
We reached our destination of Fes that day after a few stops for fuel for the bikes and water and soda drinks for us. Rob negotiated a good price for a good hotel Hana had recommended, we had to shake off a faus guide first though who was trying to get us to follow him to another hotel. He eventually got the message though as we all ignored him, he still had the cheek to ask for some money though
The hotel we stayed in was the Zalagh Park Palace and it was pretty impressive
We parked up and went to sort our rooms out.
Rob thought it would be a good idea to go for a dip in the swimming pool
but we did once the receptionist switched on the lights.
When we finished our swim we got showered and changed and went for food!
We decided we should have a rest and a day off the bikes the following day as we'd been on the road every day putting some big miles in the saddle, so we moved the bikes under the watchful eye of our security guard. This also meant that the next day we could go and have a wander round the Medina in Fes

The head of a messianic Jewish ministry says President Obama's

"destroy the Jews and their supporters." Morsi is seen on a video

Anti-Defamation League and the Simon Wiesenthal Center have
condemned Morsi for attending the anti-Semitic event. (

Janco Incorporated Introduces Greater Precision and Efficiency with New Multicam 3000 Series Router
New Hampshire based plastic fabricator Janco Incorporated has recently expanded plastic fabrication capabilities with the acquisition of a new Multicam 3000 series router.
Dover, NH (PRWEB) December 09, 2011
Janco Incorporated, a provider of plastic fabrications based in in Dover, NH has recently announced acquisition of a new Multicam 3000 series router, an addition Janco representative, Tim McGonagle says will âœDrastically improve our capabilities and our efficiency for projects ranging from plastic fabrication for the food service industry to the medical industry, and everything in between.â
The Multicam 3000 series router, designed by Multicam in Dallas, Texas is designed for a number of high performance applications with multi axis operation, high repeatability, high precision, automatic tool changing, and more. As McGonagle explains, the brand new machine will be âœexcellent for a wide range of projects, allowing us to route foam, plastic, and even metal if we need to.â
In the past, Janco used multiple tools to deliver the level of precision and efficiency they have been known for. Today, McGonagle explains âœJanco will now be capable of an even greater level of efficiency and precision by taking full advantage of Multicamâs easy change head, 8 tool holders, and automatic tool changing.â He continues, âœWe could even cut a 3 inch round circle out of the middle of a piece of foam, and it would look like it was die cut. Thatâs a very unique feature and weâre excited to see what we can do with it.â
The new Multicam 3000 router also allows Janco to provide routing and custom plastic fabricating on a larger scale with the capability to work on a 60 x 120 surface at up to 24,000 RPM, an operating capability McGonagle mentions is, âœTotally new to [Janco].â
According to McGonagle, the new routing machine is set up and âœready to goâ with the plastic fabrication experts at Janco Incorporated currently âœWorking on some patient slides for a customer in the medical industry.â He explains that the machine has been especially nice to work with due to its ability to work on a material âœno matter what size, shape, or color the products need to be. This makes it great for everything from medical products to case insert work.â

I know some women who have had success with NaPro technology. Check out http://www.fertilitycare.org/ and click on "find a medical consultant" to find a doctor that may be able to help you.

I think acupuncture is also supposed to help.
Try traditional medicine, below might help you how to get pregnant in a natural way
I think the main things to so make sure that you are at optimal health. Most of the time women can't ovulate is because there is an imbalance. There might be some good advice here: http://www.get-pregnant-naturally.com
Keep us updated!
My hubby and I have been trying for 2 years naturally and it just never happened. :(
Recently I went to a Gyno and he told me I have PCOS so I took one round of clomid (it was horrid) and here I am at CD 33, 14dpo, negative HPT tests and I've been lightly spotting for 4 days now. I'm not sure if this is the clomid or what!?!? Anyone have experience with that?
MissLynn - From everything I've read the best thing to do for PCOS to get prego naturally is diet and exercise. Go low carb and balance your sugar. Insulin resistance is closely related to PCOS even in thin women.
Sunni - Yes, it could be the clomid. Sorry. :( Did your Gyn do a 21 day progesterone test to see if you O'd? If you don't get your period you should ask your doctor about taking progesterone to start one...
Hi Miss Lynn, If you do indeed have PCOS, insulin resistance is the main culprit. Wissa is right. Diet and exercise are key. There are also some some supplements that have proven to be as effective as metformin (the common pharmaceutical drug of choice). However, a PCOS diagnosis should include a number of other tests besides an ultrasound revealing cystic ovaries, too! I've got a page on my blog that discusses the different supplements with links to the medical literature. The big guns are NAC and myo-inositol.
Best of luck!
Me (33) + Him (34) = US 10.3.09
Trying to conceive since 1.6.11. Diagnosed as phlegm stagnant with PCOS and a blocked tube.
First loss on 3.5.12. Second loss on 5.19.12. Cautiously optimistic that the 3rd time really is a charm. EDD 8.7.2013.
There's no way to put this delicately, sometimes weight loss helps if you are overweight. I had no luck for 18 months. Lost 27 lbs and got pregnant right away. Then, when we tried for #2, it only took 3 months to get pregnant because I was still at a lower weight. Its not the case with EVERYONE, but my doc who was more than happy to try "less conservative methods" (aka "natural" fertility stuff) suggested weight loss to "kick start" my fertility. He suggested low carb- so I'd think something like paleo or south beach would help. He told me that I think 50% of women who lose 15-30% of their body weight get pregnant with no further help. Those were good enough odds for me to bust my butt in the gym and meticulously follow a diet. :)
I don't have full blown PCOS, but i have cystic ovaries.
I too have been trying for a while. I had a miscarriage in March, 2010 and said forget it and gained all the weight I lost back. Now I'm busting butt to lose 30 pounds (again) so I can really try again.
I have heard of doctors prescribing birth control to 'reset' your system and help get rid of the cysts. If you have polycystic ovaries, you really need to work with a doctor to get it under control. The best way is usually through diet, exercise, and meds. Good luck.
I have also been diagnosed with PCOS but as it turns out, it is just a mnior case. After 2 years of trying and having no success at my Gyn, my husband and I decided to see a fertility specialist. After being used as a new pin cushion for 4 weeks, the blood work came back and I was told that I had a Prolactinoma. Apparently I had a small tumor in the Pituitary Gland which was the culprit for the lack of a menstral cycle. I was initially shocked as everything I have heard about tumors is bad news. So I was told that no matter how much I tried for the 2 years, my chances of conceiving were very small. I first needed to reduce the Prolactin levels from 230 to under under 30. I was put on Bromocriptine and after one month, I ovulated on my own and had my first real period in 8 months. After a second blood test, the Prolactin Levels were reduced to under 25 which was great news! So now we moved onto the TTC with meds stage. I was put on Clomid 150mg. Not only was this new to me, I also was not prepared for the severe mood swings and depression with this medication. When I found myself looking at my best friend and husband (same man) and asking myself why is he still in this house.....I realised that this medication was not agreeing with me emotionally. It appeared that it also did no agree with me physically. The follicles did not grow to any encouraging levels. One reached 16MM and I ovulated naturally. I had the first IUI anyway as suggested by my doctor and 10 days after I did what I would advise you all TO NEVER DO!!!! I took a pregnancy test. I sat on the toilet bowl and cried and cried and cried my heart out until my eyes were swollen to the state of converting me from a wide eyed doe to a small Chinese baby. I held on to my stomach and my heart ached and thoughts of all the other friends around me that got pregnant including the girlfriend for 1.5 years of my Brother-in-Law, haunted me. I have to say that I was at that moment painfully jealous of all of them and I immediately sunk into severe depression. With tears in my heart, I was putting on a brave smile and congratulating everyone else on their BFPs while my soul was huddled in a corner paralysed from sheer depression.
Days passed and I was afraid to look at my husband for fear that I would see the deep dissappointment in his face too. Eventually we spoke about it and he said that we both knew that the first try was iffy given the size of the follicle. I remained depressed until CD11 when I saw some light spotting. I read somewhere that light spotting was a good sign and may mean implantation and so I was hopeful again. I pounded away at my computer day and night reading blogs and threads and articles on spotting and implantation bleeding. I was hopeful. I started imagining all kinds of signs of pregnancy.
I was brushing my teeth that morning when I felt a small cramp in my stomach on Day 13. My heart raced thinking that this could be implantation. Just for the sake of assurance, I went into the toilet and did a wipe. Dark Red Blood. I collapsed to the floor and cried from my soul with no physical tears. Eventually after what must have been 35 minutes the tears physically started to flow and I just laid right there on the floor staring into nothingness while the tears flowed and drenched my hair. I cried for hours until my husband found me. He was speechless to see the condition I was in. That day I had to make the dreaded call to the doctor to let them know that my period was here and again I had to put on the brave face. I was told to come back in the next day to do a scan and we would begin another round.
The next morning with swollen eyes and the lack of desire to dress myself in the usual haute couture fashion, I went into the doctor's office hand in hand with my husband, looking like I was 60 years old and feeling like was twice that age. It was not hard for anyone to look at me and know what had happened. I just did not have the strength to hide my pain like I always do. After consultation with my doctor and the scan, they decided to put me on Menopur Injectables 75IU for 5 days. My E2 results came back that day at it was 31.1 which was good. After CD6 (Day 5 on Medications), I went back in for a scan and we had 7 follicles. 2x8mm, 2x9mm, 2x7mm and 1x6mm. I was asked to take 3 more injections. Now I will tell you, I cannot self inject and I am petrified about injections. My husband had to administer the first 5. I never imagined that I would have to have injections in my stomach to have a baby. The dissappointment in myself was already painful and now having to encourage my body to become fertile was another blow to my self esteem.
On CD10 the follicles were now 2x8, 1x13 and 1x15. Again another 3 injections. I was starting to expect the worst now with every visit. Just when I thought the inejctions were over, I was told again that I needed more. I was hoping that I would be one of those women that responded marvellously to the medication. But I was not. Then again I was on the lowest dose do that in a sense gave me hope. On CD13 we now had only 2 viable follicles - 1x21mm and 1x16mm. My E2 level was 532.1 which was another good sign and my lining was optimum according to the doctor. I had my trigger shot done on October 8th (yesterday) at 9:30pm. My husband was given the instructions on how to administer the shot. The nurse casually pulled out the needle and showed it to us and when I saw the length of the needle, my knees buckled and my stomach cringed. I thought that when this cycle resulted in a baby, he better be a non-crier in the middle of the morning for all this pain I am going through. The trigger shot was IM so I held on to the bed post and cried continuously that I did not even realise that my husband had already given me the shot and was standing over to me with a smile on his face as though he was looking at a baby cry. The shot was not as bad I thought. But it was the fright that made me panic.
We are having the second IUI done at 9:30am tomorrow (Wed) and I am keeping my fingers crossed that the 16MM will have released a mature egg just like the 21m and we have a BFP in 14 days.
Here's to the torture, pain and indescribable heartache that we go through all for the chance of being the best mother in the whole world.
I wish all of you nothing but astounding success and happiness at the end of this journey of yours this month. God does not always say no...sometimes he says....hold on....your time is near.

DUBOIS — The Punxsy boys' soccer team won its third straight and improved its record to 5-1 with a 4-1 victory over DuBois Central Catholic Tuesday evening in DuBois.
The Chucks jumped out to an early lead just 10 minutes into the contest when Tanner Evans buried one in the back of the net to give Punxsy a 1-0 lead.
Two minutes later, Trevor Peace struck a ball toward the net, and after a few deflections in front of the net, the ball ended up across the goal line.
The goal was scored an own-goal, though, so Peace wasn't given credit.
BROOKVILLE — The Punxsutawney volleyball squad traveled to Brookville Junior-Senior High School Tuesday night to take on the Lady Raiders, and the Lady Chucks reigned victorious in straight sets, 25-16, 25-9, 25-8.
"I think that we did really well as a team," Punxsy head coach Lisa Kephart said. "We had some switches in our rotation, but they did a really good job and worked to pull out the win."
The Punxsy girls had Brookville's number from the beginning of the match as they notched an early 10-point lead in the first set before dropping a point to the Lady Raiders.
BROOKVILLE — Punxsy needed a victory over Brookville to clinch the southern tier of the Allegheny Mountain League, and the Chucks did exactly what they needed to, defeating the Raiders 162-180 in Brookville Tuesday.
Punxsy was led to victory by Ian Miller, who was the tournament's low-medalist with a 35 including a chip-in birdie on No. 3 and another birdie on the par-five eighth hole.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) November 06, 2013
Mold shut down Alachua County Fire Rescue station on October 07, 2013. But according to a report from alligator.org, it was already back to full operation. In connection with this, Florida mold inspection company AGC Environmental warned the residents of the same problem in their houses. And to help them ensure their family's health, it advised the implementation of indoor air quality testing in residence.
Based on the report, dated October 14, 2013, Alachua's fire station reopened on October 11 after the mold clean-up, shared My Cleaning Products.
However, it was said in the post that a bit of construction was still ongoing in the bunk room of the building, MCP related. Despite that, it added that Mark Sexton, the Alachua County communications coordinator, assured that they were completely back to service.
Here is a part of the report from alligator.org.
"The Alachua County Fire Rescue reopened Fire Station 19 on Friday after remedying a mold issue.
The building was closed temporarily on Oct. 7 to "remediate mold that was discovered in the station," according to a Gainesville Fire Rescue news release.
Mark Sexton, the Alachua County communications coordinator, confirmed that the station at 1800 SW 43rd St. is now "fully operational."
While it's a good thing that Alachua County Fire Rescue station is now free from mold, it's just one of the structures the fungus could have contaminated, AGC Environmental said. Given the fact just a little moisture could already trigger mold growth, the Florida mold inspection

Choice AU 1832 13 Stars Half Eagle, BD-11832 $5 13 Stars AU55 PCGS. Breen-6495, BD-1, R.5. The weight and fineness standards for U.S. gold coins remained unchanged from 1792 until 1834. Unfortunately, economic conditions changed drastically during the intervening four decades. By the early 1820s, the price of gold had risen on the world market, to the point that the bullion value of U.S. gold coins far exceeded the face value. These conditions brought about massive hoarding and melting, with the result that gold coinage vanished from circulation after 1821.
To remedy the situation, the Coinage Act of June 28, 1834 was passed. The act introduced a new design for the gold coins, the Classic Head, by William Kneass. The act also reduced the specifications for the half eagle from 135 grains, .9167 fineness of gold to 129 grains, .8992 fineness of gold. The specifications for the other gold coins were reduced accordingly. The act took effect in August 1834, after which time gold coins began to regularly circulate in everyday commerce. While the new gold coins circulated readily, the old dates continued to be melted, because they still contained too much gold for their face value. As a result, every coin in the 1829-1834 Capped Head, Small Size type is very rare and highly prized.
BD-1 is one of only two die pairings for this date. The other marriage, BD-2, is the extremely rare 12 Stars variety. The reduced diameter Capped Bust Left subtype is collectible by date, unlike its large diameter predecessor. Yet every date requires great patience to locate, evidenced by the fact that our Permanent Auction Archives show only 14 offerings of this coin in any grade in our auctions since 1991. In contrast, the large diameter 1813 is readily obtained if the checkbook can comply. This is a splendidly detailed Choice AU example that lacks detrimental marks and has its share of glowing semi-prooflike luster. Undoubtedly destined for an outstanding collection.

Could you confirm that your product, which contains LayerSlider WP (layersliderwp-5.0.2.installable) is compatibile with WP 4.0.1 ?
Hi there,
Unfortunately not yet. We're currently working on updates of all our themes to be compatible with latest wordpress version.
Merry Christmas! Regards, Alex
The layout editor section which can be pulled in where we can select the color options and if the layout os wide or boxed is visible even in not admin mode even for a site visitor. I want to disable this. Furthur when i select the boxed layout i do not see options to choose background tiles. Let me know. Thanks, Rohan
Hello Rohan, Do you mean the wrench that appears on the front-end? This color option panel could be disabled in the Theme Options > Styling. In regards to your second inquiry I would suggest you submitting a ticket in our support ticket system and our support guys would be glad to assist you regarding this matter.
Regards, Jack
Am I right in saying this theme will break in WP 4.1?
Hi there,
There are few minor issues with the WP 4.1 but these should not affect the main theme functions and we are intending on releasing the theme update with fixes for these issues.
Regards, Jack
Ok, thanks
You are very welcome,
Regards, Jack
how to install "one click demo data"? I don't understand perfectly.
I don't look for install button at theme options-general.
Hi there,
Please review the updated instructions here If you would still experience issues with the demo content installation please send a ticket through our support ticket system and our support guys would be glad to assist you regarding this matter.
Regards, Jack
I want to buy this beautiful template but before that I have some questions :
1. Can you explain to me how can I give the permission 777 to wp-content and how can I come back after to 775… because I want to install demo version and modify it after. 2. Regarding the icons (shortcodes) are there any other shortcodes that we can use or they are just icons which can see on demo version ?
Thank you for your answer
Hi there,
Thank you for your interest in our theme. Well,it depends on which FTP client you use, for instance in Filezilla you can right click on the wp-content folder, select the option for permissions and alter them in accordance to your needs. The Goodnex theme is equiped with 30+ different shortcodes for different purposes.
Regards, Jack
Hello, Thank you for your answer. I just bought your theme. I tried to install the demo version on my computer to test (locally) but it does not work. I followed the same steps like explained here http://goodnex.webtemplatemasters.com/help/ but without any success. When I do all steps, I don't have in the end the button "one click demo data install" when I go to themes options / general. I have to understand that the demo version can not be installed locally and it must necessarily be installed on a remote server? Thank you for your response
Good day,
Thank you for choosing our theme, seems like you have received the outdated theme documentation and in latest theme update we have improved the demo content installation feature. You need to install all theme plugins (including DB migrate) that you get with the theme bundle, upload all demo files to your server and then login to your dashboard go to Theme Options and the TM DB Migrate tab appears there, click on it and hit the Demo Data install button there. And the theme with the demo content could be installed on your local or remote server, there is no limitation for that as long as your local server set properly.
Regards, Jack
It's ok, I installed the demo version thank you
I just have a second question please.
I want to use the homepage "Flex slider" for my website. I chose it in my static front page so it's ok for that but I can not find where I can change these two parties :
1- the part with the small presentation (Goodnex Responsive Premium Wordpress Theme is Simple in Using…..)
2- the part with the 6 icons (web design, development, easy to customize…).
I want to keep the same design but just modify the content if you can tell me where i can find that
Thank you for your answer
I'll just add something that I do not understand …
When I go to a page in my back office, any page I mean, let's take the page "icons" for example, when i want to modify the content in this page i find empty but when you click on "view" it goes to the website and you find content online…
Sorry, I am not used to use wordpress if you can explain to me why when I want to change the content of a page I found empty on the back office.
Hi it's me again lol
Sorry I know I ask a lot of questions…
I found the answer to my last two posts so it's ok for that !
I think we can change the content in the "constructor layout" right ?
My new problem now is when I change something (for example services in the page "flex slider)" and I apply, nothing happens.
I always keep the old version of the page in my navigator…
I tried to empty the cash without result
Can you help me please ?
All problems resolved ! It has no relation to the theme Best regards

do you think that at some point the theme will support gravity forms?
Hello RenatoD,
The theme initially was not developed for usage with the gravity forms therefore we are not able to claim whether its compatible or not since the theme was not tested with it.
Regards, Jack
I have some questions please
When we want to use the shortcode "services". I noticed that is limited to 6 big icons! just monitor, graph-up, Thumbs Up, light club, alarm-clock and App!
Is there any way to use the other big icons when we use the shortcode "services"?
For other icons that it is too bad because they are very small and I do not know if we can change the size and use them in some shortcodes like "services" for example !
Thank you for your answer !
NB: I created an account on your website to submit a ticket but I didn't receive any email from you to confirm my account, that's why I post here.
Hi there,
The services shortcode has only these icons and there is no option to add more icons, however additional icons could be added via altering default source files but it involves custom work in order to add more icons and make sure these will be displayed properly.
Please provide the email address you have used for registration and we will get your account activated in our support ticket system.

Thank you for your reply I like your availability (your theme as well lol)
My email is firstname.lastname@example.com, thank you to confirm my account.
I have two other questions:
The first question concerns the sliders (flex slider). I have a weird problem. I applied all steps of your documentation. Everything is fine, I created the group, I added the pictures and I edited the photos (title, description, url) without forgetting to publish and I chose after the slider page. Exactely like your documentation and your video !
The problem is that when I refresh the page, we do not see the image of the slide we see just your icon with "no image" + the title and description.
I'm sure I followed all the steps but I have this weird problems. Can you help me to solve it please?
My second question: I installed the demo version of the template, Everything is fine ! but when I click on the Contact menu,google map does not show (Let's Keep in Touch and main office are displayed without any problems).
I have this error message instead of the google map:
Warning: file_get_contents (): http: // wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_fopen = 0 in /home/reparati/public_html/wp-content/themes/goodnex/extensions/shortcodes/views/autoshortcodes/google_map.php on line 31
Warning: file_get_contents (http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Casablanca&sensor=false): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper Could Be found in /home/reparati/public_html/wp-content/themes/goodnex/extensions/shortcodes/views/autoshortcodes/google_map.php on line 31
By doing a little research on the web I found that it's necessary to modify the php.ini file by inserting this code:
php_value allow_url_fopen On
So I contacted my hosting provider, who told me that the "allow_url_fopen" is a default PHP settings and it's present on my webspace but his activation requires changing the version of PHP.
I logged on my hosting space (cpanel / select PHP Version), and I found that PHP 5.4 is checked by default and that I have a choice of PHP as PHP 5.6, PHP 5.5, PHP 5.3 and others and after choosing PHP version I have to check and uncheck the options of the PHP.
I'm no expert in PHP, so I contacted my hosting provider to show me what version of PHP I have to choose and what options but he said that the PHP version that will be chosen should suit the content of the website and that I should contact the website developer (you) for assistance in choosing the PHP version and options for my web site.
Can you help me please ?
Best regards
Hi there,
We will get your account activated shortly. Sure, we will check on these issues and will help you getting these fixed as soon as we get ticket with access details provided. As for the PHP version the theme is compatible with 5.4 and 5.5 version as well so you might need to update it to 5.5 to get an option to enable "allow_url_fopen" option.
Regards, Jack
Hi, I'm having some issues with adding the slider to the home page, I followed the doc and it just shows the nav buttons but not the actual image!
I used the other slider plugin instead (it's very complex but did the job). I have another question, I want to make the google map Black and White and I wrote the code for it but not sure where the map data is stored:
{ "featureType": "road.highway", "elementType": "geometry", "stylers": [ { "saturation": -100 }, { "lightness": -8 }, { "gamma": 1.18 } ] }
Can you please help?
Hi there,
I would suggest you submitting a ticket in our support ticket system and our support guys would be glad to assist you with the issues you've faced.

Hi there,
Your account has been verified since now

How do you show no title by default, I can't find the parameter in the theme options?
Hi there,
The theme doesn't have such parameter in the Theme Options since the page title appearance could be managed on each page through the custom page options.
Regards, Jack
Yes I understand but when you have a plugin that option is not available and I cannot cancel it.
Thanks, Yizi
Also do you know how I can make the social media icons to display in colour without the square box around them? http://prntscr.com/6v77a1
Which plugin are you referring to?Does it disable the custom page option? If you don't have custom options visible please make sure these are checked in the screen options. In regards to your second inquiry due to original design the social media icons were developed with gray background and upon hovering on a specific icon the background changes to a preset color, with this being said there is no option to alter it but you ca get that customized in accordance to your needs through css .
Regards, Jack
How can I add a left navigation? Like the one on the demo?
This left navigation that is presented on the demo could be added with the help of Ajax Navigation shortcode. For further reference please note we provide support via support ticket system and for more prompt and specific support I would recommend you sending your inquiries through ticket system.
Regards, Jack
The Twitter widget doesn't work, is there a update for this?
Hi there,
The Twitter widget is working properly and you can check it on the demo preview , therefore it's not working specifically on your server for some reason, it could be either incorrect twitter id or any other aspects. In case you would like us to check on it in order to find the culprit of this issue and get it fixed please send us a ticket through support ticket system.

Product description
When Julia Child arrived in Paris in 1948, a 'six-foot-two-inch, thirty-six-year-old, rather loud and unserious Californian', she spoke barely a few words of French, and didn't know the first thing about cooking. 'What's a shallot?' she asked her husband Paul, as they waited for their sole meuniere during their very first lunch in France, which she was to describe later as 'the most exciting meal of my life'. As she fell in love with French culture, buying food at local markets, sampling the local bistros and taking classes at the Cordon Bleu, her life began to change forever, and we follow her extraordinary transformation from kitchen ingenue to internationally renowned (and internationally loved) expert in French cuisine. Bursting with Child's adventurous and humorous spirit, "My Life in France" captures post-war Paris with wonderful vividness and charm.

It had all seemed to be going so well for former French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
His own UMP party is in disarray after its leader resigned following a funding scandal, meaning that it was ripe to be saved by a well-known face from the past. Incumbent President Francois Hollande, of the Socialist Party, is fast becoming a byword for unpopularity, with polls suggesting only around a fifth of French people think he is doing a good job. Talk of a Sarkozy presidency in 2017 was already gaining scheme.

I ordered the new part, which arrived in just 2 days. I did not pull the oven away from the wall, I merely turned off the electric, unscrewed the bad element, pulled it out enough to see the ends, and then I removed the existing wires using needle nose pliers. I put the wires on the new element, inserted it back into the oven wall, and screwed it tight. I turned the electric back on, and checked it out. Worked like a charm! Only 40 bucks (including shipping), five minutes of my time, and I avoided an expensive service call. :-)

DOBSON — The Golden Eagles downed East Wilkes Friday thanks to some big plays from the defense.
Surry Central had a couple of nice defensive stands on first downs in the red zone. East Wilkes came away with zero points on those two drives.
With Central winning by 10 points at 30-20, a touchdown on each of those two drives could have given the Cardinals a victory.
On one of those drives, the Eagles had the ball deep in their own territory. Kirk Needham threw a pass, but East's Robbie Bentley picked it off and headed for the end zone.
The Eagles reacted quickly and brought the defender down before he could score, but the ball was marked inside the 2-yard line. That gave East Wilkes four tries from about 6 feet out.
One of the biggest plays of the night came as East Wilkes tried to go wide with a deep running back.
Tyler Daniels got off the ball and shot into the backfield to stop the runner all the way back to the 12-yard line.
After that, East Wilkes ended up turning the ball over on downs.
In the third quarter, Central punted the ball to about East's 30-yard line. The Cards moved the ball all the way to a first down in the red zone. Then the home team clamped down again.
The Cards turned the ball over on downs at the 7-yard line.
Tyler's big play on the first goal-line stand set the tone for the whole team. Then linebacker Stephen Bruner made the stop on fourth down.
Bruner just quietly went about his business and led the team in tackles, said head coach Monty Southern. He's a glue player, doing all the necessary things to help a team get better.
Another big boost to the defense came from sophomore lineman David Pena.
Pena can be a laid-back kid, but something happened in that game that got him fired up, and it was something to see him playing like that, said Southern.
Pena, who wrestles at the heavyweight class, is the biggest player on the team. Southern said the young man made up his mind that no one was running through his gap, and he shut down that whole area of the field.
At one point in the second half, Pena went down with a leg cramp. Southern said Pena didn't let up at all when he went back in.
Alex Martin, who was one of the primary runners on offense, also played strong safety on defense.
Alex is a downhill tackler who runs up and takes guys down within two or three yards of the line of scrimmage, said the coach. That limited the Cards on making positive yards to keep the chains moving.
A sophomore linebacker had to step up and play a big role in the second half.
Early in the second half, defensive back Kirk Needham made an interception. Linebacker Zack Martin saw the interception and turned to start blocking for a return.
Kirk went down pretty quickly, and Zack didn't see it, said Southern. Zack made a pancake block that would have been great, except an official was blowing the whistle over at another part of the field.
Zack was ejected for knocking the player down, which means he couldn't come back for the rest of that game and will sit this Friday against Wilkes Central, too.
That left Chandler Johnson, the backup quarterback, manning the inside linebacker spot with Bruner.
That was kind of a funny sight seeing those two lined up next to each other because Bruner is seven or eight inches taller than Chandler, said Southern. But Chandler is a good, confident player who doesn't let his size stop him from making plays.
As for those fourth-down plays, Southern said he is fortunate to have good special teams play from punter Alex Martin and soccer team kickers Uriel Secundino and Jose Avalos.
East Wilkes didn't have a very good punter, and it didn't even attempt a field goal on those two trips into the red zone.
Southern is hoping for more good play from his defense and special teams when the Golden Eagles host Wilkes Central on Friday.

Obama Administration
How to increase China's influence and enable China's global energy policy in two words
And those two words are "Barack Obama".
I don't know about you but I've gotten real tired of seeing the US play the dope on the world stage these last 6 years. I've touched on this before, but it doesn't get much coverage and is indicative of how much foreign policy damage this administration is doing. I touched on this earlier, but I'm fascinated by how totally tone-deaf and inept this administration appears to be.
The story, as the administration wants it to unfold:
The US government has stepped up pressure on the World Bank not to fund coal-fired power plants in developing countries. In a letter sent to the World Bank United States Executive Director Whitney Debevoise said, "The Obama Administration believes that the Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) have a potentially critical role to play in the future international framework for climate finance, and, in particular, to assist developing countries in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and strengthening their economies' resilience to climate risks." Following Debevoise's controversial guidelines, the axe has already fallen on Pakistan's Thar Coal and Energy Project on the grounds that "the limited financing available from the Bank should be directed toward investments that address energy supply shortfalls in an environmentally sustainable manner''.
So there Pakistan? No coal fired plants for you! We have spoken!
Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to unveil a $46 billion infrastructure spending plan in Pakistan that is a centerpiece of Beijing's ambitions to open new trade and transport routes across Asia and challenge the U.S. as the dominant regional power. The largest part of the project would provide electricity to energy-starved Pakistan, based mostly on building new coal-fired power plants.
It's just blatant now … total disrespect for the US. Even our ally in the region, Australia, has had enough. Japan is tired of the posturing and pushing of ideology in support of something science doesn't support much less prove. More importantly, they're not going to play ball anymore and aren't making any bones about it.
Who do you suppose Pakistan is looking too for leadership in the energy sector now? Who do you suppose they might see as a champion of their economic growth?
The Geological survey of Pakistan reveals that 175 billion ton of coal is buried under the Thar Desert. These coal reserves alone are equivalent to total combined oil reserves (375 Billion Barrels) of Saudi Arabia and Iran. The coal deposits in Thar can change the fate of the country if utilised in a proper way. The coal reserves at Thar Desert are estimated around 850 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of gas, and are worth USD 25 trillion. According to experts, if this single resource is used properly, we not only can cater to the electricity requirements of the country for next 300 years but also save almost four billion dollars in staggering oil import bills.
And if Pakistan feels that way, what about India?
India is hoping a new China-backed multilateral lender will fund coal-based energy projects, an official said, putting it in direct conflict with the World Bank, whose chief has maintained that it would stick to its restrictions on such lending. A senior Indian official told Reuters the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), sponsored by China, is expected to allow funding of coal-fired power plants that the World Bank has almost totally blocked. "When you have 1.3 billion people starved of electricity access and the rest of the world has created a carbon space, at this point denying funding is denying access to cheap energy," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
So now "rich America" is trying to force developing countries to forgo cheap energy in the name of … ideology. Hey, wasn't Obama the guy always apologizing for the way he felt America bullied other countries?
Well, at least he only bullies allies.
How disastrous is our foreign policy?
There are so many places to point to that illustrate the answer to the question (Libya, Iran, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, China, Russia … ad infinitum, ad nauseum), but there's one that's been going on sort of behind the scenes that illustrates it perfectly.
As we all know, our President has an ideological agenda item labeled
"global warming" "climate change" that he is hell bent on forcing on not only us, but the world to his agenda.
Here's the interesting part – much of the world is sympathetic with his agenda. Just look at the UN and those who adhere to the UN line about climate change. A smart guy – at least the guy who supporters claim is always the "smartest guy in the room" – would use that fact to try to fashion some sort of coalition and agreement that would advance his agenda.
Not our prez. He's an "all-or-nothing" sort of guy when it comes to things like this – science be damned. And he likes to bully and shame people and countries into doing his bidding.
Except that never seems to work. What am I talking about?
The Infrastructure Investment Bank – A China led initiative that not only extends China's influence but will extend loans to developing countries to help develop their energy infrastructure – to include coal.
Well, Obama's well known for his war on coal and his inflexibility about including it in future. But if you're actually trying to be a diplomat – you know, foreign policy – you might end up understanding that you are at the extreme with the "no coal" position and see if you can't influence the agenda via compromise. Oh, and if you're against China's initiative, you gather allies to work against their goal and toward yours. That's if you have any savvy at all concerning diplomacy and foreign policy.
So, you have to ask, how did this happen?
Australia's decision to join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank follows a reversal of policy, revealed in The Australian this month, based on strategic arguments about China. The change followed a reassessment within government and intense talks within the G7 group of finance ministers and central bank governors.
Australia had been one of our allies, along with Japan, in resisting this effort by China. What happened?
While Australia, Japan, South Korea and Britain have been cautious and aware of the US criticism, all are moving towards joining. Japanese industrialists keen to sell "ultra-super-critical coal-fired" electricity generators to India for more efficient use of brown coal are pushing for Tokyo to sign up.
Mr Obama's administration has been tightening international funding for coal-fired generation but the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank is likely to be more sympathetic to the pleas of developing nations.
The expansion of coal-fired power generation is a boon to Australia's coal exporters and represents a boost to the flagging Japanese economy.
So, knowing that, what did the bully-in-chief do? Well, if you know anything about him, you're unlikely to be surprised. Just think – "ally" and it will come to you:
Australia has joined forces with Japan in international forums to resist the US campaign of limiting lending to developing nations seeking more efficient coal-fired generation. The technology offers the promise of cheaper power. The moves follow Mr Obama's climate change speech at the G20 summit in Brisbane last November. The US President's remarks, which embarrassed Mr Abbott and angered his ministers, were seen as an attempt to push the administration's climate change policies in Mr Obama's final year in office.
Yup, condescension and embarrassment have a tendency to move things in a direction you don't want – especially when you do it in the country of your ally.
Result? Another in a long, very long line of foreign policy failures. Australia joins with China in rebuffing Obama's agenda.
On the whole, I'm quite pleased with that. However, it does indeed demonstrate how badly this circus is being run by the clown-in-chief. I'm sure, even now, that James Taylor is tuning up for a trip down under.
Meanwhile in Yemen
We see the end-state of what this administration deems a "success":
Secret files held by Yemeni security forces that contain details of American intelligence operations in the country have been looted by Iran-backed militia leaders, exposing names of confidential informants and plans for U.S.-backed counter-terrorism strikes, U.S. officials say.
U.S. intelligence officials believe additional files were handed directly to Iranian advisors by Yemeni officials who have sided with the Houthi militias that seized control of Sana, the capital, in September, which led the U.S.-backed president to flee to Aden.
For American intelligence networks in Yemen, the damage has been severe. Until recently, U.S. forces deployed in Yemen had worked closely with President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi's government to track and kill Al Qaeda operatives, and President Obama had hailed Yemen last fall as a model for counter-terrorism operations elsewhere.
Let's see … SOF forced out of the country, President of Yemen on the run and both sides (Houti and AQ) romping all over the place. Oh, and the security breech which is likely to cost a lot of lives.
But the identities of local agents were considered compromised after Houthi leaders in Sana took over the offices of Yemen's National Security Bureau, which had worked closely with the CIA and other intelligence agencies, according to two U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive operations.
Yemeni intelligence officers still loyal to Hadi's besieged government burned some secret files, one official said. But they couldn't destroy all of them before the Houthi fighters, whose leaders have received some weapons and training from Iran, moved in.
The loss of the intelligence networks, in addition to the escalating conflict, contributed to the Obama administration's decision to halt drone strikes in Yemen for two months, to vacate the U.S. Embassy in Sana last month and to evacuate U.S. special operations and intelligence teams from a Yemeni air base over the weekend.
"Success". Just breath it in.
Reminds you of the "success" in Libya, doesn't it?
The usual nonsense from the usual suspects
Executive and regulatory over reach, aka trashing the Constitution? Even Lawrence Tribe has problems with the Obama agenda:
As President Obama forges ahead in his fight against climate change, a leading Harvard Law School scholar says a central piece of the president's strategy is akin to "burning the Constitution" merely to advance an environmental agenda.
In testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Tuesday, Harvard constitutional law professor Laurence H. Tribe said the Environmental Protection Agency's plan to limit greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. power plants is built on a shaky legal foundation. The proposal, Mr. Tribe argues, far exceeds EPA's authority under federal law and strikes a blow to the 10th Amendment by essentially making states subservient to Washington on energy and environmental matters.
Mr. Tribe's testimony — with which other legal scholars strongly disagreed during Tuesday's hearing — comes about a month before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments in a case that challenges EPA's so-called "Clean Power Plan," which would limit pollution from both new and existing power plants and is designed to reduce coal use across the country.
"EPA's proposal raises grave constitutional questions, exceeds EPA's statutory authority and violates the Clean Air Act," said Mr. Tribe, who has argued before the Supreme Court dozens of times and represented Al Gore in the case that ultimately decided the 2000 presidential election.
"EPA is attempting an unconstitutional trifecta — usurping the prerogatives of the states, the Congress and the federal courts all at once," he continued. "Burning the Constitution of the United States … cannot be a part of our national energy policy."
On CNN this morning, White House aide David Simas avoided congratulating Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the Israeli elections. Instead, he would only congratulate the Israeli people on having an election.
"We want to congratulate the Israeli people for the democratic process for the election that they just engaged in with all the parties that engaged in that election. As you know now, the hard work of coalition building begins. Sometimes that takes a couple of weeks. And we're going to give space to the formation of that coalition government and we're not going to weigh in one way or another except to say that the United States and Israel have a historic and close relationship and that will continue going forward," Simas said.
Hillary Clinton continues to be a dominant force heading into the 2016 presidential election, according to a new CNN/ORC poll. The former secretary of state maintains a broad lead over the field of potential Democratic challengers she could face in a nomination contest and sizable advantages over the leading contenders from the Republican side in general election match-ups.
Oil glut continues, CO2 didn't rise last year and Gore wants all "deniers" treated as criminals
Hopefully, given Hillary's latest scandal, Al Gore will be the only thing left standing on the Democratic side when the election rolls around. Because, well, because the Democrats deserve him. And Ezra Klein is all for him filling in for the "inevitable one."
But that's not my main subject today. Two notes of interest that are likely to get the short shrift in the press with all the usual nonsense flying around.
Global emissions of climate-warming carbon dioxide did not rise last year for the first time in 40 years without the presence of an economic crisis. "This is a real surprise. We have never seen this before," said IEA chief economist, Fatih Birol, named recently as the agency's next executive director.
So here is what is likely to happen. With this bit of news, you can expect to see a huge push by the Chicken Little contingent to claim credit and victory. Why see what they've done! Never mind the fact that the temperature hasn't risen in over 10 years and forget about that brutal winter you've just survived. We're winning against "global warming".
Trust me … you'll see it soon. Of course there will be no science to support their claims, but then that's nothing new, is it?
Meanwhile, in the face of all that, Japan is increasing its use of coal as it continues to replace nuclear energy and we're in the midst of an oil glut that doesn't appear ready to tail off anytime soon.
"Yet US supply so far shows precious little sign of slowing down. Quite to the contrary, it continues to defy expectations," said the IEA in its monthly Oil Market Report, which sharply revised up its output estimates for the end of last year and forecasts for the begging of 2015.
With US crude stocks striking all-time records, it noted storage capacity limits may soon be tested.
So cheap gas? Oh, yes, much cheaper than the Obama Administration and the Greenies would like.
The question then is with an abundance of cheap gas and other petro products, no warming in over 10 years and evidence that we're not increasing the CO2 emissions, how inclined to you think the average joe is going to be to change his habits?
Yeah, not very. In fact, my guess is he'll be quite resistant to the idea as he tools around in his SUV.
So, please, bring on the Goracle.
We need the entertainment.
Where's the "treason?"
You know, anymore you have to wait a couple of days for the hysteria to settle before you can figure out what may or may not have happened. And unfortunately, our "National Enquirer" media is usually the leaders of the hysteria.
This supposed "treasonous" letter, for instance. Finally, Jennifer Rubin lends a little sanity to what have been the equivalent of click bait headlines these past few days.
[T]he letter was "open" — that is, akin to an op-ed, not dropped in the mail with a Tehran address. This is not a private negotiation or even a message primarily to the Iranians; it was a statement concerning the president's powers, in contravention of prior promises, to make an critically important deal without Congress. It was unfortunate that it was not instead a letter to the editor or the president; the content would have been the same and Democrats would have been deprived of a silly but unifying talking point. But let's get to the reason it had to be sent in the first place. As Jeb Bush noted in a statement, "The Senators are reacting to reports of a bad deal that will likely enable Iran to become a nuclear state over time. They would not have been put in this position had the Administration consulted regularly with them rather than ignoring their input."
Can't begin to see how that measures up to "treason". I can see how the subversion of the Constitution could lead in that direction though.
Second it is a warning to Iran to deal straight with the President:
Republicans are saying to the mullahs they'd better not sucker the president into a sweetheart deal because ultimately that deal will have to pass muster with Congress. Any savvy negotiator would use that to say to the mullahs they need to deliver more, not less, because of the ornery lawmakers. But Obama is so determined to give the mullahs whatever they demand he cannot recognize bargaining leverage when it is staring him in the face. It is only when you are trying to give away the store that you consider a letter warning the mullahs the bar will be high for a deal to be "sabotage."
So instead, it's backing this
idiot's sucker's President's play. They've actually managed to give Obama some leverage and Obama is rejecting it for heaven sake.
The letter was meant to highlight a point about which critics have not quarreled: The president can have a binding treaty with Senate approval, or he can have an executive agreement that may be null and void when he leaves office. (If he has told the Iranians otherwise, either he is confused or he is selling snake oil.)
Got that? Deal straight and make the sort of deal we will approve in the Senate.
But, as Rubin points out, there's a bigger question:
What does the president think he is negotiating if he intends to keep Congress in the dark and present a fait accompli?
Does he understand that if he thinks its a "treaty" and it doesn't go before (and get passed by) the Senate, it isn't worth a war bucket of spit? I mean, he may have a pen and a phone, but he can't agree to a treaty without Congress's okay no matter how hard he tries to pretend he can.
Which may necessitate some more "depends on what the meaning of 'is' is" reasoning from Democrats.
There's the story.
So, in terms of the letter, another partisan tempest in a teapot.
Meanwhile, the big Constitutional question mostly gets ignored.
Thanks media.
We're supposed to believe.
I'm happy that the Treasury IG discovered the missing backup IRS backup tapes.
I'm happy that we can pretend for a while there's incriminating evidence on them that will finally allow for a prosecution of Lois Lerner and anyone else involved in using the IRS for thuggery.
Now we can put this to bed, right?
But I don't believe a word of it.
Anyone else in IT can feel free chime in and disagree if they want.
The idea that the guys directly in charge of these suddenly found backups elected to say nothing to anyone, and waited for someone to come ask for them, like Cinderella waiting for prince Charming to show up and put the glass slipper on, is bunk. The only way that could have happened is if the IT people in at least one group have gotten up every morning for at least a year, showered, shaved, dressed, and showed up at work where they stuck their heads in buckets of mud for the entire day. It only could happen if they live in Plato's cave when they go home at night.
It must be sweet in that department that didn't start going over what they had for backups from day 1 when it was revealed that the IRS lost the backups. It must be awesome to work for a boss who didn't come down and say, "so, what's up with these backups! Because we're being made to look pretty damned foolish! Do we have that stuff or not! I want to know ASAP because I expect to be on a bridge call by 12:00 where everyone, the Pope included, is going to be asking that question."
But the call never came? So they just went back to their daily business? With all the news going on about missing backups? They didn't know who to tell maybe? So they just told no one?
Anyone with half a brain, who's had half an ounce of responsibility knows that somewhere someone was going to answer for those missing backups. And it behooves the guys who are supposed to have them, to be able to answer that they in fact do have them, if all it takes is for them to go look.
And you can bet your sweet bippy they went and looked. And they pro-actively told someone above them.
Yet we're supposed to believe they said nothing.
To anyone.
For over a year.
No way.
The manager who was going to take the fire directly, checked with his people on day 1, found they had the backups by about day 5, sent an email to his boss to say that he'd looked into the matter and found they do indeed have the files in question. Because he didn't want to be the 1st guy stuck on the trident as it came down from on high, hurled with all the anger the guy above, who wanted to make sure he wasn't going to be the 1st guy sacrificed, could hurl it.
No, you're supposed to believe they sat out there in the wilderness and waited, prayed for their moment, when someone would come and ask them if they had the backups so they could reveal them like the exciting twist in a movie.
I see.
Yo! Congress! Want to investigate some more guilty people? Find out who was told shortly after it was said there were no backups that there were backups. Ask the guys who had responsibility who they notified when the news went public a year ago. Someone knew, someone told someone else, and somewhere that news stopped moving up the chain. Find where it stopped and find out why.
A year is easily long enough for a small controllable group to get the backups, sanitize the emails as necessary, and overcome whatever technical challenges you need to overcome to put them back and make them appear as if they have never been touched. And if you think they're worried about the law at this point, you've been sticking your head in that bucket of mud, and going home at night to Plato's cave.
I won't be a bit surprised if they review those emails, and find nothing very incriminating. Brilliant bit of demoralization to build up your enemies hopes, and then crush them using the very weapons they planned to use to destroy you.
ISIS doesn't need killing. They need jobs!
To describe our State Department (and it's spokes person) as boneheaded is an insult to boneheaded people. Here's State Department Spokesperson Marie Harf and, of all people, MSNBC's Chris Matthews:
MATTHEWS: How do we stop this? I don't see it. I see the Shia militias coming out of Baghdad who are all Shia. The Sunnis hate them. The Sunnis are loyal to ISIS rather than going in with the Shia. You've got the Kurds, the Jordanian air force and now the Egyptian air force. But i don't see any — If i were ISIS, I wouldn't be afraid right now. I can figure there is no existential threat to these people. They can keep finding places where they can hold executions and putting the camera work together, getting their props ready and killing people for show. And nothing we do right now seems to be directed at stopping this.
HARF: Well, I think there's a few stages here. Right now what we're doing is trying to take their leaders and their fighters off the battlefield in Iraq and Syria. That's really where they flourish.
MATTHEWS: Are we killing enough of them?
HARF: We're killing a lot of them and we're going to keep killing more of them. So are the Egyptians, so are the Jordanians. They're in this fight with us. But we cannot win this war by killing them. We cannot kill our way out of this war. We need in the medium to longer term to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it's lack of opportunity for jobs, whether —
MATTHEWS: We're not going to be able to stop that in our lifetime or fifty lifetimes. There's always going to be poor people. There's always going to be poor muslims, and as long as there are poor Muslims, the trumpet's blowing and they'll join. We can't stop that, can we?
HARF: We can work with countries around the world to help improve their governance. We can help them build their economies so they can have job opportunities for these people…
Good grief, these people don't want better "governance" and they've got the job they want … building the Caliphate. For heaven sake when are these ass-clowns going to wake up?
I'm again going to recommend an article that does the best analysis and explanation of ISIS that you're going to find. It is very clear that those who rally to the ISIS banner think they're building a righteous future with the Caliphate and that what they're doing is preordained by their religion.
But the fools who run this country and our foreign policy – that would be the White House and State Department – are terrified of facing the threat and calling it what it is. It's absurd and cowardly. It makes them come up with the sorts of pitiful nonsense that Harf is told to go out and spread.
This is a religious movement which is based, at its very core, on Islam. It is as religious a movement as you can get. In fact, as explained in the Atlantic article I've pointed you too, it is based in a literal interpretation of Islam's holy book and its history. Let me hit you with that one particular quote again:
The reality is that the Islamic State is Islamic. Very Islamic. Yes, it has attracted psychopaths and adventure seekers, drawn largely from the disaffected populations of the Middle East and Europe. But the religion preached by its most ardent followers derives from coherent and even learned interpretations of Islam.
Virtually every major decision and law promulgated by the Islamic State adheres to what it calls, in its press and pronouncements, and on its billboards, license plates, stationery, and coins, "the Prophetic methodology," which means following the prophecy and example of Muhammad, in punctilious detail. Muslims can reject the Islamic State; nearly all do. But pretending that it isn't actually a religious, millenarian group, with theology that must be understood to be combatted, has already led the United States to underestimate it and back foolish schemes to counter it. We'll need to get acquainted with the Islamic State's intellectual genealogy if we are to react in a way that will not strengthen it, but instead help it self-immolate in its own excessive zeal.
Note what the author points out – that "pretending it isn't actually religious … has already led the United States to underestimate it and back foolish schemes to counter it."
See above! Harf is just a symptom of the idiocy and cowardice that infests our highest levels of government. When you refuse to actually identify the enemy and his motivation, you cannot hope to devise and develop a plan to counter his threat. History is littered with the failure such nonsense brings. Chamberlin thought Hitler could be reasoned with and would keep his word. He was clueless. And, as such, he developed a "strategy" that was an abject failure and, in fact, played right into Hitler's hands.
Obama and Kerry are no different. They refuse to face the reality of the threat. That's why we have no strategy, or at least no strategy (patience? really?) that will counter the threat. What they are doing is cowardly and reprehensible, not to mention being derelict in their sworn duties. This is unacceptable, but then neither Obama nor Kerry have ever been mistaken as leaders.
And when you elect or appoint people with no leadership experience and no real world experience, you get this. Something 50% of the idiots who live in this country approve of (sorry, I'm a little grumpy today).
Stray voltage
More subjects than one can conveniently throw a stick at … so we'll throw several sticks.
Have you seen the latest Brookings Institute poll on Obama's "greatness" as a President? It is interesting. They decided to poll the American Political Science Association. Their "consensus"?
First, President Obama ranks 18th overall, but beneath the surface of the aggregate figures lurks evidence of significant ambivalence. For example, those who view Obama as one of the worst American presidents outnumber those who view him as one of the best by nearly a 3-1 margin. Similarly, nearly twice as many respondents view Obama as over-rated than do those who consider him under-rated.
Well there you go. Even a liberal leaning think tank polling liberal leaning academics can't manage to put lipstick on a pig. 18th overall? Hilarious.
Remember we were told that Iraq was "poorly thought out" and that "armed intervention" was a mistake?
Wouldn't it be interesting if someone applied the same standard to Libya? Yesterday we got to see what some of the result of that awful decision when 21 Coptic Christians were beheaded by ISIS. And the White House reaction?
The United States condemns the despicable and cowardly murder of twenty-one Egyptian citizens in Libya by ISIL-affiliated terrorists.
Can't even get up the gumption to identify who the "Egyptians citizens" were. They weren't beheaded for being Egyptians, folks.
We call on all Libyans to strongly reject this and all acts of terrorism and to unite in the face of this shared and growing threat. We continue to strongly support the efforts of the United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General Bernardino Leon to facilitate formation of a national unity government and help foster a political solution in Libya.
Because, you know, Obama and the boys kind of broke the last government.
Meanwhile in Oregon, the Democratic governor resigns in disgrace, a victim of corruption in the "green energy" field.
It is a safe bet that Kitzhaber's implosion has sent the rest of the nation's Democratic governors, and even a few officeholders in Washington, scrambling to review their affairs. It is the very nature of green energy that its unprofitability ensures that it is only viable in the marketplace if it is subsidized at taxpayer expense. The political class' favorability toward clean energy and the media's deference to the project of green technology have created the perfect conditions where corruption can thrive.
Leftist billionaire Tom Steyer is deeply implicated in all of this. I wonder if he'll get the "Koch brothers" treatment by the media.
You can read on when you stop laughing hysterically.
Oh, and here's another in a long line of damning reports about ObamaCare.
On another subject, I'm old enough to remember friends crippled by polio and the "iron lung":
"We are at a stage where people have no memory of just how dangerous pathogens used to be. There is no visceral fear of viruses and bacteria. Children in wheelchairs as a result of polio are a thing of the past because the United States has been polio free since 1979 as a result of vaccines. The only people I've ever met who were hobbled by damage from polio were older than me. . . . I do not expect an innumerate and unscientific public to become more trusting of medical organizations that support vaccination. In some communities herd immunity has already been lost and it will be lost in more other communities. This trend will continue until an old disease comes sweeping thru and racks up lots of damage and fatalities."
On the other hand, the government has reported for 40 years that cholesterol was going to kill us and then, recently said, "never mind". But they still want us to believe their science about "global warming". That said, one small pox plague and I'd bet everything would change. Its hard to be fearful when you've never had to live with the results of awful afflictions like polio. I remember that being the greatest fear of many parents. Now, well, now they don't even give it a second thought. That's because of a vaccination, for heaven sake. Same with small pox. But then anti-vaxxers are using the same sort of science that warming alarmists do, so you shouldn't be particularly surprised.
Meanwhile in Wisconsin (not surprisingly, Madison, WI) 30 homes were spray painted with anti-Semitic graffiti. My guess is the White House would characterize the act as "a random act by some juvenile delinquents". I'm still in awe of the spineless characterization of the victims in the Kosher Deli in Paris as some "folks" in a random incident. But then, this is the same administration that for years characterized the Ft. Hood shootings as "workplace violence", so it really isn't a big surprise. Back in Madison, don't even begin to believe that the vandalism will ever be classified as a hate crime. That is reserved for favored minorities only.
Graeme Wood (read the whole thing) lays the wood to the cowardly among us who can't find it in themselves to identify the enemy and the enemy's foundation:
The reality is that the Islamic State is Islamic. Very Islamic. Yes, it has attracted psychopaths and adventure seekers, drawn largely from the disaffected populations of the Middle East and Europe. But the religion preached by its most ardent followers derives from coherent and even learned interpretations of Islam.
Virtually every major decision and law promulgated by the Islamic State adheres to what it calls, in its press and pronouncements, and on its billboards, license plates, stationery, and coins, "the Prophetic methodology," which means following the prophecy and example of Muhammad, in punctilious detail. Muslims can reject the Islamic State; nearly all do. But pretending that it isn't actually a religious, millenarian group, with theology that must be understood to be combatted, has already led the United States to underestimate it and back foolish schemes to counter it. We'll need to get acquainted with the Islamic State's intellectual genealogy if we are to react in a way that will not strengthen it, but instead help it self-immolate in its own excessive zeal.
Meanwhile, at the State Department and White House …

NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development has honored several staff and partners across the state for their innovation and initiative in providing career services to veterans. Federal law requires performance awards to encourage the improvement and modernization of employment, training and placement services for veterans and to recognize eligible employees for excellence in the provision of such services or for having made demonstrable improvements in the provision of services to veterans.
In Crossville, several staff members and partners at the Crossville Career Center were recognized at a ceremony held in Nashville today. Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development Commissioner James Neeley presented certificates to Delois Randolph, Carol Caruthers, Kara Vanhoy and Sue Taylor with the East Tennessee Human Resource Agency ; and also to Pat Kerley , Linda McGraw, Rebecca Beverly, Sharon Kreis and Dick Hyder, employees of the Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development.
The staff honored at the ceremony were singled out for the following criteria: priority of service to qualified veterans and other eligible persons; fostering an environment of teamwork and cooperation in the local office; initiative in efforts to assist hard-to-place (homeless, recently separated, disabled, minority, and female veterans) populations; improving the system with performance; reduction in time or cost; and promoting collaboration in support of employment and training opportunities.
Neeley commented at the ceremony, "This honor is about the cooperation of Labor & Workforce Development staff and our partners in the Tennessee Career Centers across the state. We anticipate this recognition will spur staff members, individually and collectively as a local office, toward creative solutions to the problems encountered by veterans in their quest for significant employment."
Workforce Development Director for the East Tennessee Human Resource Agency Bob Kerr said, "The staff in Cumberland County has worked hard to ensure businesses are aware of veterans seeking employment. East Tennessee Human Resource Agency is proud to be a part of a program that is focused on helping our communities and especially the men and women that have served in the military."
"Since first opening, the Cumberland County Career Center staff has been a role model for all State of Tennessee Career Centers. This award that recognizes service to our veterans is just one more example of our Career Center staff's commitment to job seekers and area businesses," said Cumberland County Mayor Brock Hill.
A total of 32 people from across the state were honored at the ceremony. A complete list of honorees is listed below.
