Skip to comments.Fox & Friends to have Amir Taheri on this hour to talk about Obama's troop withdrawl delay request!
Posted on 09/18/2008 3:10:31 AM PDT by vwatto
Story growing legs? I'm surprised it's being folowed up on.
How many times have the Dhims violated the Hatch act so far?
Thanks for the thread...I'm watching.
I notice that Jack Reed and Chuck Hagel were with him. I wonder if they may been complicit in this?
Can someone translate, I can't understand him.
Yes, he said that BO asked the Iraqi leader to hold off on the draw down on American troops until after the next Administration comes in. He also said that BO actually said this to NBC news in June.
The only places I've heard it discussed are on Foxnews and Rush. What a shame.
He put out enough stuff, if it can be verified.
The beauty is that Obama can't deny it - his own people confirmed he did press for a delay.
Here is how NBC reported Obamas position on June 16, after his conversation in the US with Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari: Obama also told Zebari, he said, that Congress should be involved in any negotiations regarding a Status of Forces Agreement with Iraq. He suggested it may be better to wait until the next administration to negotiate such an agreement.
In other words, Obama wanted a delay on the Status of Forces Agreement, not on the Strategic Framework Agreement as his rebuttal now claims.
The NBC report continues: Asked by NBCs Lee Cowan if a timetable for the Status of Forces Agreement was discussed, Obama said, Well he, the foreign minister, had presented a letter requesting an extension of the UN resolution until the end of this year. So thats a six-month extension.
That Obama was aware that the two accords couldnt be separated is clear in his words to NBC:
Obviously, we cant have US forces operating on the ground in Iraq without some sort of agreement, either a further extension of the UN resolution or some sort of Status of Forces agreement, some strategic framework agreement. As I said before, my concern is that the Bush administration in a weakened state politically ends up trying to rush an agreement that in some ways might be binding to the next administration, whether it was my administration or Sen. McCain s administration. (Emphasis added.)
Obama also told NBC: The foreign minister agreed that the next administration should not be bound by an agreement thats currently made, but I think the only way to assure that is to make sure that there is strong bipartisan support, that Congress is involved, that the American people know the outlines of this agreement.
And my concern is that if the Bush administration negotiates, as it currently has, and given that were entering into the heat of political season, that were probably better off not trying to complete a hard-and-fast agreement before the next administration takes office, but I think obviously these conversations have to continue.
Did anyone record this? I missed it.
If so, could you post it on YT and send me a link or post it here?
burn them alive Reno.
I believe it was Waco.
This is a non-story. But did you hear Palin bought a tanning bed?
new Obama talking meme is out.
bob beckel was on FNF and was repeatedly saying a McCain win is wishful thinking. He also did a "congrats" to mccain hanging in there because NOBODY gets a third term.
IOW: imply impossiblity, imply mccain is old man keeping up with youngster, and most important push the obama talking point of "third term".
coupled with obama pushing the "get in your neigbor's face"
jamming strategy, it seems things are going to be VERY ugly soon.
John Gibson interviewed him on his radio show yesterday, but it hasn't been posted. It was very informative so I hope it gets circulated soon.
Obama's reaction to Obama's effort to keep the troops in Iraq so Obama can get credit for pulling them out will be to ridicule McCain.
Obama does not win on merits, he just attacks to remove opposition on technical aspects.
so obama will simply respond with ridicule.
Thanks, the NBC news part is new info to me.
Oops. It's too early here for me to comprehend clearly.
lol, if I lived in alaska, i'd own a tanning bed.
Beckel also made sure he not once, but twice denied Obama's peeps had anything to do with the e-mail hack.
Wow. Somebody will have to clean out the toaster after Nov 4. All these crumbs are filling up the tray.
There you go again, Bob Beckel, writing a check you shouldn't write.
BTW, is Beckel still using hookers?
Obama is a street thug and nothing more.
If that comment by Beckel was unprovoked by a question, then one can pretty well assume Obama's operative's *did* hack the email account.
In case you missed this...
I don't remember him saying that when hillary was running.
Taheri rarely does tv. Sorry I missed it.
Thanks for the recap
Hopefully the Friends will post the vid later. ;)
Lets hope!
She bought a tanning bed? With her own money? Oh, the humanity!!!
Americans really want to know!
Does Sara have tan lines?
That needs to be the question we need answered.
This is going nowhere until McCain starts hammering Obama on it. The media sure as hell aren't going to make anything of it on their own.
Imagine the outcry if a republican would have done something like this before an election?

The Government Shutdown and Tufts Boston
By Kathryn Houk On October 3, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Announcements
Here are a few quick informational tidbits on how the government shutdown may affect you and your research:
- HNRCA is closed
- PubMed, Ovid, NIH Reporter, NCBI, the CDC, Agricola and other databases relying on government data are not being updated and are not able to respond to inquiries
- DOCLINE is down (no direct ordering of articles from PubMed/NLM)
- Data.gov and other non-essential websites are shut down, for accessing data, try Data Citation Index through Web of Knowledge
- Many government services are not being maintained or no longer allow access. Resources like PubMed are still running, but not being updated; and if hacked or broken, they may not be fixed in a timely manner. The libraries subscribe to many databases that provide access to the same information, but will be maintained and staffed since they are not government-run. For more on alternative resources to use in order to access government information, see the Tisch Library guide here: http://researchguides.library.tufts.edu/govshutdown

The German ocean carrier's shareholders of Friday approved all items on the agenda for the annual meeting, most notably including the approval of new authorized share capital, which will be used toward the merger with UASC.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said the nation's agricultural trade surplus is also expected to increase to $19.5 billion for fiscal year 2017, up 40 percent from $13.9 billion for fiscal year 2016.
With 13 of the top 20 container lines reporting combined losses of $2.5 billion in the first half alone, industry losses will likely range from $8 billion to $10 billion for the full year, according to Lars Jensen, CEO of SeaIntelligence Consulting.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The Greenwich, Conn.-based third-party logistics provider's CEO Brad Jacobs is bullish on his company's technology focus as it secures $1.6 billion in debt refinancing that will lower interest payments 12 percent over the next five years.
The freight broker and third-party logistics provider spent a year developing the app, called Navisphere Carrier, replacing the company's previous CHRWTrucks version.
The air cargo services provider reported a loss per diluted share of $0.26 in second quarter 2016 compared with a $1.13 per share gain in the same 2015 period due to unrealized gains related to vested warrants granted to e-commerce giant Amazon.com.

After setting up Oscar's opener, Lampard, who began the game as a substitute, converted a 45th-minute penalty to move within one of the club record held by the watching Bobby Tambling.
"Frank is a great player," Benitez said. "I'm really pleased he's scored another goal and hopefully he can score five between now and the end of the season and he'll be much happier and we will be the same."
His appearance midway through the first half in place of dead-leg victim Ramires injected impetus into Chelsea's play.
The goal was his 15th of the season and first following seven scoreless appearances, since moving to 200 goals against his former club West Ham on March 17.
Benitez added: "He's a good player with quality. When you're controlling and have more possession, he can have an influence."
Lampard had dropped to the bench as Benitez manages his options with Chelsea chasing two targets and Thursday's Europa League semi-final second leg with Basle in mind.
Benitez added: "He's a great professional. He's always really focused.
"He would like to play more games, but he understands the main thing is the team and to qualify for the Champions League.
"He wants to play, but he understands the team is first."

I often get runtime errors (see below for the error), at least a couple times a day, which puts my blog out of commission for at least 5 minutes at a time. I am trying to figure out how to get custom errors to show so I can fix the problem. I have tried everything I could think of and just can't figure this out.
I have installed wp on godaddy on a windows-based hosting plan. Apparently this doesn't support .htaccess (which is what most help forums refer to). Apparently I need to edit a web.config file but godaddy doesn't show the web.config file so apparently I need to create one. I created a web.config.php file on my FTP client with the following text:
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
Still doesn't work. Can anyone suggest a solution? Thanks very much in advance.
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
'<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

I have a homepage/static frontpage with a "Blog - left sidebar" layout.
I want my latest blog entries to show up on the 2/3 on the right side, and the FB widget to take up the left 1/3 column.
But no matter what I do it doesnt work. The widget ends up on the left alright, but UNDER the blog entries.
Using Firebug I can see that there is an invisible frame or column behind the widget, that is so wide, that the widget itself is too wide to sit left of the blog entries.
I have tried making the FB widget very narrow (like 100 px) but still same issue.
There seems to be a problem with the layout working with the widget.
Can you please help?
Thanks! :)
And btw: Cool plugin! Works like a charm (apart from this).

Nicolet's Quam wants lasting change
Five years. Five head coaches. Seven wins.
That sounds about right. Nicolet probably should feel fortunate for even that much success in football given the constant turnover in leadership.
David Quam wants to be the anchor the program and its players need.
"You'd like them to have some stability," he said, "where they can go through their high school career with one person at the helm and one offense and one defense and one consistent set of rules just so they can have the success that we'd like for them."
This is Quam's second stint at Nicolet.
He resigned after the 2003 season to devote more time to his family and work on the dissertation for his doctorate.
However, he was back on the sideline two years later at Whitefish Bay, where he coached for three years. He spent the last two years as an assistant at Nicolet.
When Quam was hired last month, my interest was piqued. I remember Quam's first run at the job, a solid seven seasons considering the strides that needed to be made. I've also always been intrigued by the struggles at Nicolet.
The Knights' string of 22 straight losing seasons is the longest in the area. I can't tell you how many times I've driven down I-43 past the school's sparkling field and wondered why it's so hard to win there.
The school has its share of success in other sports, especially in track and field, which is often a good indication of what kind of athletes you have in your school.
The football team has produced some players, too. Graduating senior Alex Walker, a tight end, earned a preferred walk-on status at the University of Wisconsin, and 2010 grad Lamar Johnson-Harris is playing at Army.
And if you look at Homestead and Whitefish Bay, schools whose districts border Nicolet's, you'll find teams that have been able to put together successful programs with a similar demographic of kids.
To be honest, the players at Homestead and Bay probably have hit the weights harder in the off-season and put more energy into the game in general, but there are systemic issues Quam hopes to improve as well.
"I don't know if we've done the best job on either end of integrating the fifth-through-eighth program into the nine-through-12 program, and that is something I definitely want to do much, much better," he said. "We've really got to connect with those kids."
Connecting. That was the common theme in my talk with Quam on Monday.
Before last season, he and assistant J.D. Davis took over the freshman team at Nicolet in hopes of improving the experience and in the process raise its retention rate. It's a job so important that Davis, one of Quam's most valued assistants, will continue coaching the freshmen next season.
"Football is a numbers game. You need a lot of kids," Quam said. "Basketball sometimes you have three really good players, you're going to have a really good team. Football you need a lot, and when kids aren't having the experience they want and thinking it's not a fun time that really hurts you."
Quam also feels a better connection with the community this time around. He has taught at Nicolet for 15 years and lives in Fox Point. His children attend school in the district and his sons play for the Junior Knights program.
"I just know so many more people through Little League and flag football and all the rec programs I've coached my kids in," he said. "I think I just have more of a connection into the community, which I think will really help."
So what brought him back? Quam could have continued coaching with fewer headaches as an assistant.
The chance to coach his sons down the road was a factor, but so was the chance to provide consistency to a program much in need.
"I felt I could provide a good environment for my kids and the other kids, too," he said. "That was certainly a part of it. I think just seeing the transition of five head coaches in five years, that's not good for any program. And working in the program, I got to know these kids and you'd like for them to have some stability."

The website is running WP v 3.4.1 and WordPress SEO v 1.2.5.
When an author link is clicked in a post's meta: the_author_posts_link() it redirects to the homepage rather than the author.php or archive.php template.
This problem only occurs with the SEO plugin active and I cannot find a setting within the plugin that would affect this behavior. A search for this problem returned a resolved issue from 6 months ago that does not apply to this version of the plugin.
Apparently there used to be an Indexing > Archive Settings page within the plugin admin and a check box to disable the author archives, therefore, un-checking this box was the solution. However, I do not see this option in the current version and the author archives are definitely being disabled.
Does anyone have the same issue and a solution?

Power lines threatened by fire near Altamont Pass
TRACY, Calif. Firefighters are battling a brushfire west of Tracy in the Altamont Pass area.
CalFire spokesman Daniel Berlant says the fire has scorched about 500 acres since it was first reported a little after noon Thursday.
Berlant says the blaze, which is being fanned by gusty winds, is threatening power lines in the area.
The smoke is sending large amounts of smoke into the skies near Interstate 580.

King Lear
by William Shakespeare
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
The play makes many references to animals, from Lear's comparison of Goneril to a "detested kite" (1.4.274)—which is not just a child's toy but also a bird of prey—to Albany's comparison of humanity to sharks (4.2.60-61).
What's the point? It seems that humans are no better than animals, at least in King Lear.

My Edible Escape: Rosé Wine from Provence
But the thing that tied them all together in the mellow, breezy sunlight was the wine.
Rosé wine in Provence is a far cry from the white Zinfandels that usually dominate pink wine in the United States. In Provence, chilled rosé is the house wine of choice at nearly every little restaurant. You drink it ice cold at outdoor cafés with plates of piping hot socca or salty olives. The wine is crisp, not so sweet, and utterly suited to the flavors of the region. In fact, the wine apart from the food doesn't seem quite right. It's comes from the soil of Provence, and it is meant to go with those Provençal flavors.
But I did bring back a bottle or two of my favorite rosé, and sipping it takes me back to those flavors and the memory of sunshine in a sweet time. I'm looking for a good replacement here, since I do love rosé and like to drink it all summer long, but that particular wine will always take me back to that week in Provence, and that particular time in my life, even as it helps me relax and enjoy the sunshine wherever I am.

Hi all
I just started with WP and I'm a asp.net developer so web programming isn't new to me. This whole idea of "I'm no longer incharge of exactly everything" is new to me and I have major problems with the most simple of all things in WP. Please, you WP gurus, help me. You'er my only hope.
When I add new post in the blog (I have two separate blogs and it's the same problem). The text I see in the "edit box" is nothing like the real text. I get that the css might change fonts e.t.c. (even if really annoying), what happens is that text moves, images moves and the page doesn't look the way I want and doesn't look like it should acording to the HTML I wrote.
This images shows the edit box:
This is the HTML
This is the result (outcome)
As you can see, the table has changes dramatically from the html and also the edit box. Why is that?? I can't get it to work. I use the build in theme from WP and no strange widgets e.t.c.
Another really strange thing I can show you is another page where text disapear and the format changes to the worse.
This is the edit box
This is the post in the blog page
This the detail page of the same blog post
As you can see. None of these three images show the same post...!??!? The blog post removes the "_" and also the link doesn't show and it has removed the spaces also.
The detailed post shows it ok. I say "ok" because it took some time to get it to look this way. Nothing looks correct the first time. I had to manually to all the spaces twice by going in the HTML view and hit "space" in between ALL WORDS manually.
Can someone shed some light to HOW THE HECK DO YOU GET THE POST TO LOOK THE WAY YOU WANT DIRECTLY??? Sry for the caps, I'm just really really frustrated :-P
Thanks in advance!!

My wife and I gave them several chances, I do not believe they screen or train their people and the last one we had stole over $1,000 from the house and some of my mother's antique jewelry. I intend to speak with my lawyer about pressing charges against them. From others I have talked to now I find out no one else I know had a good experience with them either! Talking with Linda is a disaster, she's a complete idiot - the only thing worse than talking with the owner is her poor quality office staff. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL OPERATION and horrible caregivers....RUN, don't walk away from this company!!!

Couldn't be Further from the Truth
AUTHOR: Chip - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, October 07, 2011POSTED: Friday, October 07, 2011
We have been using Companions and Homemakers for over a year now. We have found them to be extremely helpful, patient, trustworthy and kind. If we have any questions, we simply pick up the phone and call the main office.
We have had no issues of theft. They have done everything we have asked and have gone above and beyond in their job performance. My 86 year old mother absolutely adores her caregivers and they make sure she is safe, healthy, clean and that her living space is the same.
I wholehearted recommend Companions and Homemakers.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
It is with strong belief that T&C Federal Credit Union and General Motors Corporation conspired with each other over a debt that I owed T&C I was a direct employee with GM for 12 years when I first started working for them I joined T&C Federal Credit Union by opening an account with them in 1994. I was getting married and wanted to start saving money for my wedding.
I was told that they were a very good credit union at the time. So as time went on I decided to purchase a new car through their member services, everything was going fine my new car purchase was okay, they gave me an interest rate of 6.5 % and that was in 1995. So in 1996 I had gotten married and was preparing to purchase my first home.
We waited about three years after we were married to purchase a house, we moved into our house in the fall of 1999 there was no real debt issue for us with two incomes everything was affordable. So after four years of doing a lease on that particular loan it was time for me to turn that vehicle in, so I did. But at the end of the loan there was a balance of around 1,995.00 that had to be paid off, and that was in 2000. So I paid it off.
Shortly after that, we were in our new house all our bills were up to date, so the wife and me started looking at purchasing two new car's one for her and the other for myself. I figured I'd go back to T&C for another loan, so I did to me it seemed like I would be able to get a better interest rate than the first time I went through them; boy was I wrong they not only gave me a deal but they basically screwed me without any lube.
In 2000 they hit me for 18% interest per vehicle when my wife found out we were being ripped off by these people she got upset with me, that's when our relationship started to head south. I recall the person who was taking care of the loan and handling the paperwork told me Don, whatever you do don't screw this loan up. I said what do you mean by that and she did not give me an answer.
But it was two late the ink had already dried. Besides I kind of just blew it off. My history with them was in pretty good standing, so I thought, as time went on my marriage was on the rocks we were talking divorce the house we had just bought was falling apart, as a matter of fact we were being charged a high interest rate on that also, something like 12.5% both the mortgage company and the credit union were in my butt without any lube, boy how could this have happened I've been hit by predatory lending on both sides, but it got worse from there on.
Now were falling behind on the house and the cars before I knew what hit me we were $10,000.00 dollars behind on the house, and her car was two months behind and no one would help me. The house went into foreclosure, then all of a sudden my wife decides she was not going to contribute to this fiasco anymore, so she pulls the plug on her finances back, and I'm left to go to this screw party alone.
I and my wife begin to separate she moves out, only to leave me stuck in a house that has been invaded by raccoons, mice and fleas, but I feel like as long as I have a job I got a fighting chance, so I declare bankruptcy so I can by some time to figure out what my next move is going to be.
That didn't even help, of the two cars I purchased, one had to go back. If she wasn't going to pay the note or the insurance she surely wasn't going to keep driving it and have me stuck paying for it. So I gave it back to T&C, at that time there was a $14,000.00 balance owed on that particular vehicle. They sold the car for $5000.00 that left the remaining balance at a little over $9,000.00 so I went into an agreement with them to pay $200.00 per month until the debt was paid, and that was in 2002.
So 2006 rolls in it's time for me to turn in my car, so I start looking for a new vehicle I go to Lung hammer Chevrolet and purchase a 2006 Trailblazer. GMAC gives me this song and dance on giving me a interest rate of 6% but what they really didn't tell me is that they were getting ready to screw me also that 6% turned out to mean 6% every week so all together it was more like 12% Interest for the loan.
After I make the purchase I call up T&C to find out what the remaining balance was on my wife's vehicle that I had just turned back in to them 4 years ago and $9000.00 later they told me I still owed them $7,500.00. To my dismay I'm speechless, I ask were did all the money I've been paying you for 4 years go to, you sold the vehicle for $5000.00 Their reply was that it went towards the interest, let me get this correct, I've been paying you $200.00 per month for 4 years are you crazy I said. That's $9000.00 are you nuts charging me interest on something I don't even have anymore. Are you trying to put me in the poor house? Well they did
I tell them I'm not paying them another dime take me to court. What a mistake that was. One month after that I was e-mailed by GM Human Resources asking me to report for citizenship verification. Pryor to that one of my co-workers had asked me if I knew anything about sovereignty. I said no I don't he kept asking me if I was going to file for it, and I told him no. I couldn't understand at the time why they were asking me to report to something like that but now I do. Someone went to great lengths to make me look bad. I'm a U.S. citizen born and raised in this country. After I go for verification about one month after words I was offered a buyout. I asked why am I being offered this and what are my choices. I was told you have none.
Either take it or we'll fire you and give you a two-month severance. So basically I was forced to take the buyout. Once I was out I start looking for employment elsewhere. No one would hire me and I couldn't figure out why, and to this day I still don't have all the answers, but one thing I can say for certain is GM employees are behind the loan I had for the two vehicles and I know who they are. They are linked to T&C Federal Credit Union
In my buyout GM stated that upon accepting this buyout that I nor my family or any of my heirs can sue them or their employees or subsidiaries for their actions. I have contacted GM to have them send me a copy of that buyout but they have not responded back to me. I have physically talked to someone in human resources and I'm being given the run around, and that was in early Sept. of 2008
As a result of all of this my identity has been compromised, on my credit report it shows that I have an address over in B.C. Canada and that I also lived at my supposed to be ex-wife mothers' address, which is also incorrect, this whole situation has made me Homeless and Job-Less. I had to put all my belongings in storage where I eventually lost everything because I couldn't keep paying for storage. Those involved you are going to be exposed because I know whom you are. These are people I used to play golf with and considered my friend's

Kurdistan Region-Iraq News in brief
Kurdistan Region-Iraq News in brief
23, 2012 - Sulaimaniyah,
Erbil-Hewler, Duhok, Kirkuk, Kurdistan Region 'Iraq'
Most contesters for women
beauty pageant from Sulaimaniyah "The Paris of
Sulaimaniyah: Some 44 women, most of them from
Sulaimaniyah (Suli), have registered their names as
candidates for the first women beauty pageant in the
Kurdistan Region, due June 28. Most of the women are
from Suli, followed by candidates from Kirkuk
province, said Sirwan Tofiq, who runs the Hala Erbil
Festival. Today onwards a committee will choose 12
candidates for the final contest next Thursday,
according to Tofiq. The beauty pageant is an episode
in the festival which is intended to boost tourism
in Kurdistan, in particular its capital, Erbil.
Tofiq added a committee of Lebanese experts will
supervise the pageant and choose the 12 candidates
depending on their age, languages they know, their
academic certificates, the shape of their body,
their intellectual level and some other criteria.
Agatha Wozniak, Miss Poland 2005, will also attend
the ceremony. aknews.com
Barzani urges parliament to
speed up region's budget
Erbil:: President of Iraq's Kurdistan region,
Massoud Barzani, said on Wednesday he sent a message
to speaker of the Kurdistan parliament regarding the
general budget, urging the parliament to speed up
presenting it. The president said in his account on
Facebook that he asked the parliament's speaker to
discuss the subject in details in a transparent way.
He underlined that the delay in approving the budget
will not be good for any part. aswataliraq.info
Govt. to employ 17,000
people in 2012
Erbil: This year the Kurdistan Regional Government
(KRG) employs only 17,000 people, MPs sanctioned the
decision Friday. The number is less than the
previous year, 25,000 employees. The MPs agreed in
recruiting new permanent employees the priority
should be given to the contracted employees in the
KRG. Kurdistan Parliament is still debating the 2012
budget bill. The delay has led to public discontent.
The budget bill that is currently being worked on in
the parliament is IQD 12.6 trillion (approximately
USD 10 billion), out of which IQD 10.75 trillion
goes for operating budget and less than IQD 4
trillion is left for investment, which leads to
running a IQD 2 trillion deficit. aknews.com
Adviser refutes reports of
Barzani's objection to Talabani's Germany trip
Erbil: Kurdistan Region's President Massoud Barzani
has not objected to the recent visit of the Iraqi
President Jalal Talabani to Germany, Barzani's
adviser said. Faysal Dabbagh made the statement to
counter a report which alleged that in his meeting
with Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) MPs to the
Iraqi House of Representatives, Barzani said that
Talabani's visit to Germany now arouses many
questions. Reports said that Talabani's trip to
Germany was for medical tests and he had a surgery
on his knee there. Barzani has not met with the KDP
MPs at all, Dabbagh said. He continued
"President Barzani has not made such a remark… the
report is entirely baseless and we refute it."
Barzani's KDP and Talabani's Patriotic Union of
Kurdistan (PUK) are allies in the Kurdistan Blocs
Coalition (KBC) in the Iraqi House. While Barzani is
pushing along with Ayad Allawi of Iraqiya List and
Muqtada Sadr of Sadr Current to withdraw confidence
from Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, Talabani
is trying to act "impartial" and calls for more
dialog and negotiations. aknews.com
Committee demands doubling
employment of Ministry of Education to 8,000
Erbil: Committee of education and scientific
research at Kurdistan Parliament has made some
demands in the interest of teachers so that they are
fixed in 2012 budget law. The committee has demanded
that Ministry of Education recruit 8,000 employees
and teachers instead of 4,000 in 2012, said Omar
Nuraddini, head of the committee said. The committee
has also demanded that standards for recruiting
teachers and employees of the Ministry be set,
Nuraddini said. Nuraddini added the committee has
also proposed to allocate 150b IQD ( $126.970m) to
the construction of schools and 40bIQD more to
($33.858m) to cleaning the schools. The committee
has also asked to allocate a share from the Human
Capacity Development Program of the Ministry of
Higher Education and Scientific Research for
training sessions for teachers and employees of the
Ministry of Education. The program is intended for
scholarships and so far more than 2,000 individuals
have benefited from it. Another demand by the
committee is that the Ministry of Finance eliminates
the differences in the salaries of the teachers who
have the same status. It has also demanded that a
fund from the oil revenues be established for
granting loans for the teachers who wish to continue
their study for the diploma, master and doctorate
degrees. The MPs are still debating the 2012 budget
bill. It is feared that further delay in ratifying
the bill may lead to a public protest. aknews.com

For 2&1/2 years +, we have been trying to have a "package Box" REMOVED!!!
This "package box" is located on a major street that runs thru our subdivision, and is no longer used because a new mailbox has been installed which includes package boxes. The package box is severly marred by rust and graffiti.
We have taken our complaints to local and state U.S.P.S. sites, and we keep getting the "runaround".
All we want, a seemingly simple request, is to have this graffiti and rust laden box, that is no longer used, REMOVED!!!!
Our latest "runaround " is " If it doesn't have an eagle on it, then it's not ours". Then who owns it???? ( By the way, under all the rust and graffiti, you can make out an "eagle").
We are paying "thru the nose" for constant increases in postal rates, so what are we getting?---Mail delivery????? No other services???
This is a rip-off!
If anyone knows who we can go to, ( in the vast ROR audience) for an effective soluation to this problem, please let us know!
I will keep checking the ROR reports under U.S.P.S. for any answers!

When list items are created, how do you echo those in the theme?
Every list item setting has an ID, but when multiple items are added to the list, what is the ID of the second one, third one and so on..?
And is there a way to put a maximum to a list? So that no more than 3 items can be added.

Modernist Literature
Life stinks and then you die.
Shmoop's Modernist Literature course has been granted a-g certification, which means it has met the rigorous iNACOL Standards for Quality Online Courses and will now be honored as part of the requirements for admission into the University of California system.
All aboard the modernism train! Yeah, modernists were super impressed by trains. And wouldn't you know it? We're super impressed by modernism. We're talking prose, poetry, and historical events in Britain and America between 1900 and 1955. You know what that means: the Great Depression, two Worlds Wars, and a whole lot of existential angst.
This course will get you thinking about how the events of the late 19th and early 20th centuries created a sense of "mourning" that wriggled its way into almost all modernist writing. You'll also learn how all modernist writers, in one way or another, responded to this general sense of mourning—whether it's Thomas Hardy, who threw up his hands and said we were all doomed; or Ernest Hemingway, who basically told people like Hardy to man up or shut up.
Sure, this stuff is tough to read, but it's tough to read for a reason. We promise.
Course Breakdown
Unit 1. I Believe in a Thing Called...Uh...
It shouldn't come as a surprise that modernist writers didn't think too much of the modern world and what it was doing to people. In this unit, we're going to focus on the feeling that laid the groundwork for pretty much all modernist literature: the universal despair that spread across the Western world at the start of the 20th century. Our authors of choice? Thomas Hardy, T.S. Eliot, George Santayana, Wallace Stevens, and William Faulkner.
Unit 2. Newer Viewers
We know that the modernists were a bit bummed out by the stuff that was going down around the start of the 20th century—not the least of which was the decline of traditional religious authority and people's belief in God. As a reaction, some people tried to use literature as a way of repairing their shattered past. But others felt like art in general could do a better job of capturing the modern world if it experienced a shattering of its own. In this unit, we'll see how authors like Ezra Pound ("Hugh Selwyn Mauberley") and Virginia Woolf (To the Lighthouse) tackled this issue.
Unit 3. You Can't Give In
This unit will show you that modernists—British and American alike—weren't just whiners. They were actually concerned with the fate of the human world. We'll read "To Build a Fire," "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," "The Waste Land," excerpts from the Cantos, and last but not least, Brave New World to see how modernist authors were trying to make a change.
Unit 4. Voices
This unit all about voices that challenge the traditional (read: old white man) view of modernism. And these voices? They often come from people who didn't enjoy the same privileges as Eliot, Hardy, Pound, and company. We're talking about folks like Charlotte Perkins Gilman ("The Yellow Wallpaper"); Stevie Smith, Langston Hughes, and Marianne Moore (lots o' poetry); Zora Neale Hurston (Their Eyes Were Watching God); and James Baldwin ("Sonny's Blues").
Sample Lesson - Introduction
Lesson 6: T.S. Eliot and Ulysses S. Grant. Wait...That's Not Right.
In case you thought Santayana was way too easy to understand, we thought we'd toss a little T.S. Eliot your way. Don't worry, we're not going to make you read "The Waste Land."
(At least not just yet...mwahaha.)
This time around, we're going to show you a short (but really dense) review that Eliot wrote in 1923 for James Joyce's then-recent novel, Ulysses.
Eliot's piece, called "Ulysses, Order, and Myth" takes issue with a dude named Richard Aldington, who didn't think so much of Joyce's book. That just didn't fly with our buddy T.S.
To understand what Eliot is praising about James Joyce, you need to know how Joyce structured Ulysses. Basically, he based the entire book on the voyage of Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey, which was written nearly three millennia ago. Joyce's take is about a single day in Dublin, Ireland, and it follows two main characters: Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus. Every event in the book's plot is directly tied to the events of Homer's Odyssey, and Joyce even names each chapter after an episode of Homer's epic poem.
Eliot spends a good deal of this short review talking about his issues with Mr. Aldington (in his classic, crusty way). But we want you to pay special attention to the two closing paragraphs of the review, where Eliot says stuff that would become very influential for the Modernist movement. More specifically, watch for the spot where he says that Joyce's use of Homer "is simply a way of controlling, of ordering, of giving a shape and a significance to the immense panorama of futility and anarchy which is contemporary history."
Sound familiar? In this quote, Eliot sounds a whole lot like Santayana, arguing that the modern world has gotten to a point where human life seems totally random and chaotic (we're looking at you, Hardy), but modern literature has the power to step up and try to give meaning to modern experience.
Fair warning: this piece isn't easy to read or understand. But trust us: when you get to "The Waste Land," this one will seem like nothing. Oh, that doesn't help? Then… good luck.
Sample Lesson - Reading
Reading 1.6: "Ulysses, Order, and Myth"
Here's the full text of Eliot's super-important review, titled "Ulysses, Order, and Myth." You'll notice as you read that Eliot spends a good chunk of the article referring to people you've never heard of and to books you probably haven't read. Don't worry, Shmoopers. We'll explain these references as we go.
"Ulysses, Order, and Myth" by T.S. Eliot
Paragraph One
Mr. Joyce's book has been out long enough for no more general expression of praise, or expostulation with its detractors, to be necessary; and it has not been out long enough for any attempt at a complete measurement of its place and significance to be possible. All that one can usefully do at this time, and it is a great deal to do, for such a book, is to elucidate any aspect of the book—and the number of aspects is indefinite—which has not yet been fixed. I hold this book to be the most important expression which the present age has found; it is a book to which we are all indebted, and from which none of us can escape. These are postulates for anything that I have to say about it, and I have no wish to waste the reader's time by elaborating my eulogies; it has given me all the surprise, delight, and terror that I can require, and I will leave it at that.
The language here gets a little effusive, but basically what Eliot's saying is that this book is a truly incredible work of art and there's no point in writing a traditional review about it. The best thing he can do is simply to "elucidate" some aspect of it, meaning, that he's going to do his best to make the book clearer, because it has never been said that Ulysses is an easy book. In fact, it's one of the most deliberately difficult ones to come to mind. But we promise it's worth your while...at the very least, just think of the bragging rights you'll have earned by the end.
Paragraph Two
Among all the criticisms I have seen of the book, I have seen nothing—unless we except, in its way, M. Valery Larbaud's valuable paper which is rather an Introduction than a criticism which seemed to me to appreciate the significance of the method employed—the parallel to the Odyssey, and the use of appropriate styles and symbols to each division. Yet one might expect this to be the first peculiarity to attract attention; but it has been treated as an amusing dodge, or scaffolding erected by the author for the purpose of disposing his realistic tale, of no interest in the completed structure. The criticism which Mr. Aldington directed upon Ulysses several years ago seems to me to fail by this oversight—but, as Mr. Aldington wrote before the complete work had appeared, fails more honourably than the attempts of those who had the whole book before them. Mr. Aldington treated Mr. Joyce as a prophet of chaos; and wailed at the flood of Dadaism which his prescient eye saw bursting forth at the tap of the magician's rod. Of course, the influence which Mr. Joyce's book may have is from my point of view an irrelevance. A very great book may have a very bad influence indeed; and a mediocre book may be in the event most salutary. The next generation is responsible for its own soul; a man of genius is responsible to his peers, not to a studio full of uneducated and undisciplined coxcombs. Still, Mr. Aldington's pathetic solicitude for the half-witted seems to me to carry certain implications about the nature of the book itself to which I cannot assent; and this is the important issue. He finds the book, if I understand him, to be an invitation to chaos, and an expression of feelings which are perverse, partial, and a distortion of reality. But unless I quote Mr. Aldington's words I am likely to falsify. 'I say, moreover,' he says, 'that when Mr. Joyce, with his marvellous gifts, uses them to disgust us with mankind, he is doing something which is false and a libel on humanity.' It is somewhat similar to the opinion of the urbane Thackeray upon Swift. 'As for the moral, I think it horrible, shameful, unmanly, blasphemous: and giant and great as this Dean is, I say we should hoot him.' (This, of the conclusion of the Voyage to the Houyhnhnms—which seems to me one of the greatest triumphs that the human soul has ever achieved. It is true that Thackeray later pays Swift one of the finest tributes that a man has ever given or received: 'So great a man he seems to me that thinking of him is like thinking of an empire falling.' And Mr. Aldington, in his time, is almost equally generous.)
Here's where we finally learn the real reason for Eliot's review: a one Mr. Aldington has delivered something of a smackdown of Ulysses, in which he calls the novel a "libel on humanity." Yeah, he went there. And Eliot's having none of it.
Aldington's review, according to Eliot, fails in one crucial way: it doesn't recognize the importance of the book's parallels to Homer's The Odyssey. These parallels are very important because they provide scaffolding and narrative structure. Without them, the novel really would be "an invitation to chaos," just like Aldington says.
But it isn't. Aldington's review is likened to what William Makepeace Thackeray once said about Jonathan Swift: "'So great a man he seems to me that thinking of him is like thinking of an empire falling.'" To which we say: ouch. (Thackeray wrote Vanity Fair, which was very popular and very mean, and JSwift wrote Gulliver's Travels and A Modest Proposal, which is our favorite satire about eating babies to end famine. Eliot evidently didn't like Thackeray, because he thinks both his and Aldington's review are inappropriate.)
Paragraph Three
Whether it is possible to libel humanity (in distinction to libel in the usual sense, which is libelling an individual or a group in contrast with the rest of humanity) is a question for philosophical societies to discuss; but of course if Ulysses were a 'libel' it would simply be a forged document, a powerless fraud, which would never have extracted from Mr. Aldington a moment's attention. I do not wish to linger over this point: the interesting question is that begged by Mr. Aldington when he refers to Mr. Joyce's 'great undisciplined talent'.
Back to this thing about being a libel to humanity. "Libel" is a legal term that refers to a specific type of defamation that gets written down. Eliot's first response is to say he's not sure it's even possible to libel all of humanity (try bringing that one to court). His second response is to say it couldn't possibly be libel, because then it would have to be untrue.
Paragraph Four
I think that Mr. Aldington and I are more or less agreed as to what we want in principle, and agreed to call it classicism. It is because of this agreement that I have chosen Mr. Aldington to attack on the present issue. We are agreed as to what we want, but not as to how to get it, or as to what contemporary writing exhibits a tendency in that direction. We agree, I hope, that 'classicism' is not an alternative to 'romanticism', as of political parties, Conservative and Liberal, Republican and Democrat, on a 'turn-the-rascals-out' platform. It is a goal toward which all good literature strives, so far as it is good, according to the possibilities of its place and time. One can be 'classical', in a sense, by turning away from nine-tenths of the mater¬ial which lies at hand and selecting only mummified stuff from a museum—like some contemporary writers, about whom one could say some nasty things in this connection, if it were worth while (Mr. Aldington is not one of them). Or one can be classical in tendency by doing the best one can with the material at hand. The confusion springs from the fact that the term is applied to literature and to the whole complex of interests and modes of behaviour and society of which literature is a part; and it has not the same bearing in both applications. It is much easier to be a classicist in literary criticism than in creative art—because in criticism you are responsible only for what you want, and in creation you are responsible for what you can do with material which you must simply accept. And in this material I include the emotions and feelings of the writer himself, which, for that writer, are simply material which he must accept—not virtues to be enlarged or vices to be diminished. The question, then, about Mr. Joyce, is: how much living material does he deal with, and how does he deal with it: deal with, not as a legislator or exhorter, but as an artist?
To understand this paragraph, you're going to need some definitions.
- Classicism is a branch of philosophy that expresses itself through the appreciation of classical artworks and the techniques that produced them.
- Romanticism was a movement in the 18th and 19th Centuries that rejected the modes of classicism and focused instead on beauty, emotion, and a heightened sense of self.
So what do these things have to do with Ulysses? Well, it's complicated. Eliot is trying to argue that what Joyce is doing with Ulysses (using The Odyssey for its structure) is itself a form of classicism, even though the novel isn't written in the style of (what Aldington would call) classical or classicist literature. Joyce has taken a classic of literature and added a whole host of modern ideas and emotions to it.
The question Eliot asks is: "Is it art?" We know from his tone that the answer is yes.
Paragraph Five
It is here that Mr. Joyce's parallel use of the Odyssey has a great importance. It has the importance of a scientific discovery. No one else has built a novel upon such a foundation before: it has never before been necessary. I am not begging the question in calling Ulysses a 'novel'; and if you call it an epic it will not matter. If it is not a novel, that is simply because the novel is a form which will no longer serve; it is because the novel, instead of being a form, was simply the expression of an age which had not sufficiently lost all form to feel the need of something stricter. Mr. Joyce has written one novel—the Portrait; Mr. Wyndham Lewis has written one novel Tarr. I do not suppose that either of them will ever write another 'novel'. The novel ended with Flaubert and with James. It is, I think, because Mr. Joyce and Mr. Lewis, being 'in advance' of their time, felt a conscious or probably unconscious dissatisfaction with the form, that their novels are more formless than those of a dozen clever writers who are unaware of its obsolescence.
In this paragraph, Eliot answers our implicit question: why did Joyce write the novel this way? We wish we could call him up and ask him, but alas, he died in 1941, so we're just going to have to take Eliot on his word when he says Joyce had to. That he was ahead of his time and saw both the limitations and the possibilities of the novel as an art form.
Eliot has a hard time referring to Ulysses as a "novel" because, at that time, the form was considered simultaneously too formal and too simple.
Paragraph Six
In using the myth, in manipulating a continuous parallel between contemporaneity and antiquity, Mr. Joyce is pursuing a method which others must pursue after him. They will not be imitators, any more than the scientist who uses the discoveries of an Einstein in pursuing his own, independent, further investigations. It is simply a way of controlling, of ordering, of giving a shape and a significance to the immense panorama of futility and anarchy which is contemporary history. It is a method already adumbrated by Mr. Yeats, and of the need for which I believe Mr. Yeats to have been the first contemporary to be conscious. It is a method for which the horoscope is auspicious. Psychology (such as it is, and whether our reaction to it be comic or serious), ethnology, and The Golden Bough have concurred to make possible what was impossible even a few years ago. Instead of narrative method, we may now use the mythical method. It is, I seriously believe, a step toward making the modern world possible for art, toward that order and form which Mr. Aldington so earnestly desires. And only those who have won their own discipline in secret and without aid, in a world which offers very little assistance to that end, can be of any use in furthering this advance.
At the end of the review, Eliot gives his highest praise of the novel: that it's written in a style that will open up new possibilities for literature. He stops just short of saying that Joyce has ushered in the era of Modernist literature, conceding that the poet W.B. Yeats had been writing in a Modernist style for years, and that the social sciences, have made this kind of structurally innovative, psychologically acute work possible." We may now use the mythical method," Eliot says. Sound familiar?
Yep. There are echoes of Santayana in this piece, and that's why we had you read it. The "mythical method" is a way of exploring the world and the nature of consciousness that would elevate prose, as well as poetry, to the level of religion. Pretty cool, right?
Sample Lesson - Activity
Activity 1.6a: Order in Eliot's Court
It can be hard to relate to the idea that classical literature can be used to help make sense of the modern world. Let's face it—none of us are running to our copy of The Aeneid when we get our hearts broken. But where do we run?
That's right, Shmoopers: this activity is all about pop culture.
Your task is to write a story of at least 500 words about a time you used a piece of pop culture to make sense of something that happened in your real life. That piece of pop culture could be a TV show, a song, a video game—even a board game. Your pieces will need to:
- Cite two or three specific examples of how the piece of pop culture helped you to understand the situation.
- Using at least two quotes from the readings, describe two to three ways in which this piece of pop culture/pop culture in general can be likened to Santayana's view of poetry.
Here's a short example:
We didn't understand what was happening to us. We were tired. We were irritable. The smell of red meat was like victory to us. Then we saw the movie Underworld and we understood: We were Lycans.

Sample Lesson - Activity
Activity 1.6b: A Method to Our Madness
In the last activity, you wrote about how popular culture helped you understand the world in the same way classical literature helped Modernists make sense of what was happening in their day. Now you're going to get a chance to do what the Modernists did and mine a piece of classical literature yourself.
Specifically, you're going to write a short story of about 800 – 1000 words that adapts an old story from classical mythology. Sort of like what they did with the Helen of Troy myth in Troy but, you know, good. You can update the plot of the Apollo and Daphne story and set it in high school. You can rewrite the labors of Heracles so he's facing modern obstacles. It's up to you. Feel free to draw on any set of myths, whether they be Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Etruscan, Chinese, Hindu, Navajo, or whatever else you can think of—we're pretty open-minded.
As you write, you're going to need to
- identify the narrative and emotional arcs in your myth. You're going to build your stories around them, so they're important.
- think about who these characters would be if you met them in the modern world. For instance, what would Narcissus be like if he lived in Hollywood instead of Ancient Greece?
- update the stories with modern settings and problems. Weapons should be guns and technology, not slings and arrows.
- limit the talk of guns and violence. Your stories should be rated Teen. Sorry.
Here's the beginning of a story we're working on, based on the Orpheus myth:
I've always been a musician. A drummer. A cellist. Hand me an instrument and I can play it. On our first date, my wife took the comb out of her hair and told me to play her a song. Orpheus, she called me, though that isn't my name.
Did you like that? Boom. In the set-up of our story, we
- hooked you in from the first line with an engaging first sentence and varied sentence structure.
- made a direct parallel to a legend. The legend of Orpheus is about a man who travels to the underworld to bring his wife back from the dead. He makes a deal with Hades, the God of the Underworld, who allows Orpheus to take his wife back to the land of the living on one condition: he can't look at her on the way there.
Based on the way we started it, we might complete this Orpheus-inspired story by having the narrator attempt to wake his wife up from a coma by playing her favorite song for her in the hospital. The doctors had said that she might be able to hear him while she was asleep, and he thinks that if she hears his music, she'll come back; but then she dies before he finishes. In the actual myth, Orpheus loses faith and looks over his shoulder on the last stretch of the journey from the underworld. His wife is lost forever. It's so sad.
We're going to dry our eyes, Shmoopers. You start working on your stories. Upload them below.

Maybe others will remember this little flick more easily than Krull. Who could forget Willow and his friend Meegosh who set off with a human baby, Elora Danaan, and meet Mad Mardigan? Who could forget the brownies Rool and Frangine (one of whom falls into a beer)? Who could forget Val Kilmer's debut as a woman?
This movie had some big names, and some who later became big. Billy Barty played the old Nelwin wizard. Val Kilmer went on to do other things like Batman. And of course Willow himself--Who was it?--went on to glory in Star Wars.
So who liked Willow?

Ah, thanks for the info. We are running 5.0.1 here, it is good to know this may be as easy as updating to 5.0.2. Justin

I was referred to this forum (hopefully the right one).
My problem:
I have finally succeded in installing Marketpress Lite and the plugin Web invoicing and Billing.
When sending an invoice notification to the client, I don't want to give the client the opportunity to pay via the invoice notification online, which can be done via the button "Process Payment". The rest of the notification is okay. I changed the email template to reflect this (I allow viewing and printing). Thus it makes no sense to have the button. Somewhere there must be coding that can be changed or deleted so as to remove the button "Process Payment" which appears not as part of the plugin's mail template, it seems - I can't see it in the email template at least.
I have almost no experience so please give the simplest possibe solution.
thanks in advance
