No tumbrels have appeared in Paris's Place de la Concorde, but a revolution may be under way in France nonetheless. Recent weeks have seen the trial of former Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin and the conviction of former Defense Minister Charles Pasqua. Now even former President Jacques Chirac has learned that he is not immune from prosecution. Is France's "Republican Monarchy," to borrow a phrase from Jean-François Revel, about to be overthrown?
The French Revolution never actually ended the privileges of France's ruling elites. True enough, some aristocratic heads rolled, but the nobility eventually returned to France. When the Republic replaced the monarchy for good, in 1875, ballots replaced birthright, but the new governing elite believed that it possessed the same rights and perks as the former aristocrats.
But the concept of the "Republican monarchy," which is mostly concerned with the mores of French presidents and their entourages, did not really take hold until the Fifth Republic. Once elected, the French president and his court gain access to financial privileges that are not always legal. Moreover, they live behind a shroud of secrecy: how they use official airplanes, the civil servants they employ for personal service, not to mention the mistresses, has always been more or less considered private territory. Journalists avoided commenting on these matters. The public either was unaware of any excesses, or deemed the ruling elite corrupt by definition.
The apex of the aristocratic Republic was reached under the Socialist President François Mitterrand, who ruled from 1981 to 1995. Unknown to the public, a government jet would ferry him to Egypt to spend weekends with his mistress and his illegitimate daughter. Only the media elite knew, and they never mentioned it. Chirac, who succeeded Mitterrand as president, was only slightly more cautious.
All this has changed. In less than a week, Pasqua was sentenced to three years in jail for illegal arms trading with Angola. Villepin, a former prime minister for Chirac, awaits judgment on charges of having organized a smear campaign against his rival for the presidency, Nicolas Sarkozy. Chirac's indictment is remarkable for the very modesty of his supposed crime: he is suspected of having asked city bureaucrats to work for his political party and run his electoral campaigns when he was mayor of Paris.
On a lighter note, Sarkozy's Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand, the nephew of the former president, is being excoriated by the media for supporting Roman Polanski against efforts by the United States to extradite him to face punishment for the rape of a minor three decades ago. It turns out that this Mitterrand shared with Polanski a taste for teenagers (of the same sex in Mitterrand's case).
So, something of a democratic revolution may be under way in France. The ancient regime's supporters call it a "populist" revolution.
But it is a revolution made in the courts, not the streets.
French judges have become more independent than they have been traditionally. Inspired by Italy's investigating magistrates who took aim at the mafia bosses, and those Spanish judges who act as social redeemers, some French judges are determined to democratize the French Republic and eradicate corruption.
The Internet is a seminal lever in this process. Today, President Mitterrand's mistress and daughter could not benefit from the media's complicity: no state secrets, and no aristocratic excess, can escape today's bloggers.
Is the private life of France's elite also now to be exposed? This right to a private life, including extramarital affairs, has always been a sacred cow of French politics. The journalists who knew about Mitterrand's second wife argued that it was a private matter. And so it would have been had he not used state funds to provide his other family with lodgings, chauffeurs, and jets for their Egyptian weekends.
Today, many French journalists still resist the temptation to expose the private lives of the political elite. But this is a lost battle: the bloggers do not share the journalists' ethics.
Sarkozy understands the new rules of the game. As soon it was known that he had an intimate relationship with a former fashion model, he decided to marry her, avoiding any further embarrassment.
But aristocratic habits do not die easily, even in Sarkozy's overexposed regime. Sarkozy's son, Jean, has already been elected to a major local government office at the tender age of 22. Being as ambitious as the father, Jean Sarkozy recently tried to have himself appointed as chairman of a powerful public company. Bloggers, followed by traditional journalists, went up in arms against such blatant nepotism. Young Sarkozy withdrew.
France, it seems, does not yet share the real democratic culture of, say, Scandinavia. French ministers have yet to be seen taking the bus or the subway to their offices. French ministries still occupy the former eighteenth-century palaces of the king and his nobility.
As long as the governing elite works in this splendor, one cannot expect that they will ever behave like common mortals. As Bossuet, Louis XIV's confessor, declared to the Sun King: "You'll die, but you are immortal." French Presidents and their elected nobility still bask in this decadent aura. But, like French hauteur in international affairs, the end of an era may be at hand.

The PCB had entered into contracts with Phillips and Siemens for the installation of floodlights at its two stadiums in Karachi and Lahore, the The News reported.
It may be mentioned here that Kapil, since retiring from international cricket, has engaged himself into several businesses.
Besides running restaurants, sports shops, a construction business, Kapil's company also deals in providing floodlights and video screens at cricket stadiums.

Silvia Rubi & Alexa Nasha – Perky Teen Alexa Nasha is Fucked in front of a Chanting Crowd – Part 2
Released: June 17, 2016
Alexa Nasha puts her face on the beer soaked floor of a crowded Barcelona bar. She squeezes her eyes shut as everyone in the bar looks at her swollen teen cunt. She winces at the idea that everyone can see how excited she is. Her asshole clenches as someone reaches down and slides a finger from her throbbing clit to her dripping hole. Pushing her hips back, Alexa's body begs to get fucked hard and fast. A man yanks her head off the ground by her hair and yells something in a language she doesn't understand. Opening her eyes to a throbbing cock in front of her mouth she knows exactly what the man needs her to do. With her mouth gaping one man fucks her throat while another penetrates her tight cunt. The crowd chants as she submits to her rightful place as the cum spittoon for the bar.

Management Agreement
This Management Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of _______________________, 2011 between ____________________ and _________________, a _________________Corporation ("Manager"). Owner is lawfully in possession and control of _________________ detailed on attached Schedule A, [ Address] the "Property").
Manager is engaged in the business of managing, renting, and maintaining
rental properties

Owner hereby vests Manager with such power and authority as is reasonably necessary to carry out all the terms of this Agreement. Except as provided in the Agreement, however, Manager shall have no authority to incur any liability on behalf of Owner or to bind Owner or the Property by any contract or obligation.
Section 2 Term
Unless sooner terminated as hereafter provided, Manager shall have the sole and exclusive right to undertake and perform all rental and management operations of the Property for a period of three years from the date of the Agreement. Owner, in its sole and absolute discretion, may by written notice to Manager, terminate this Agreement, such termination to be effective thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice.

a. General: Manager shall manage the Property by performing the management duties placed upon the General Partner by the owner's Limited Partnership Agreement.

3. Destruction or Condemnation: In the event all of the Property is destroyed by fire or other calamity or action is commenced to condemn all of the Property, or in the event of a partial destruction or condemnation which will (in Owner's opinion) make it difficult or uneconomical to continue leasing the Property, then this Agreement shall be deemed terminated with neither party having any further obligation to the other. In the event of a partial destruction or condemnation which will not make it difficult or uneconomical to continue leasing the Property, then Manager shall, as Owner's agent, arrange for the repair and/or replacement of the Property to a condition at least equal to its condition prior to such fire or calamity.

In the final singles match of the day at the No. 6 spot, it would be Kristina Puck with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Andrea House.
Jacksonville took over in doubles play by sweeping all three matches. The number one team of Yuliani Santi and Jennifer Hancock fell 8-0 to Emese Sulyos and Veronika Subertova as did Karolina Rowinski and Amy Senko, 9-7, to Kim Packer and Nisrine Hajbane. The Dolphins closed out the match with Martina Strussova and Kristina Puck earning an 8-5 win over Patricia Chien and Andrea House.

The inclusion of women's rugby sevens at the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games has been confirmed.
The Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Corporation (GOLDOC) and Australian Rugby Union on Tuesday announced the inclusion of the women's game on the 2018 programme, joining men's sevens which has been part of the Games since 1998.
"Since the last Commonwealth Games program in Glasgow was announced, women's Rugby Sevens has gone from strength-to-strength, with the IRB introducing the IRB Women's Sevens World Series for the 2012/13 season," ARU chief executive Bill Pulver said.
"Our men's team have been wonderful ambassadors for Rugby Sevens since the sport's introduction to the Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur in 1998.
"As members of any Commonwealth Games squad - past and present - will testify, the atmosphere surrounding the Games is truly unique and we believe this news will truly leave a lasting legacy for women's Rugby in Australia."
New Zealand are current women's sevens world champions, and have won both editions of the IRB Women's Sevens World Series since it began in 2012.
Women's sevens is also included at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, with Olympic qualification starting at this year's world series.
Alongside New Zealand, Australia and Canada have proven top class sevens sides, with other nations playing catch up.
New Zealand won the Oceania Sevens title in Noosa, Queensland at the weekend, thrashing Australia 31-10 in the final.
At the XXI Commonwealth Games, men's and women's rugby sevens will be played at Robina Stadium.

UCLA was looking to fill one of those spots as early as this spring, with the possibility of signing Ryan Hollins, 6-10 SR C, Pasadena (Calif.) Muir, who has gotten his release from his National Letter of Intent to St. Louis. If he redshirted, though, he would be potentially as good as the top 2-3 post prospects in the current high school junior class on the west coast. The Hollinses have shown interest in UCLA, but it's looking more like Ryan is saying that he really wants to play for former St. Louis head coach, Lorenzo Romar, who is now at Washington. Hollins is long and athletic, but still very raw and physically undeveloped.
Also, UCLA has begun to recruit a foreign player, Yanif Green, 6-9 PF/C, from Israel. Green is 21-years-old and has played in Israel extensively. Reportedly he's a skilled frontcourt player. He's good friends with Cal's Amit Tamir, which could help Cal's chances with him. Apparently, Connecticut is also involved. There is a plan for Green to come to the States and visit Cal and UCLA officially in the next month or so. Cal, reportedly, will be first on his itinerary.
There are still other lingering rumors about potential transfers, but it's too premature – and baseless – to report at this point.
But, if UCLA doesn't get Hollins, or Green, that leaves them looking to fill those two scholarships with prospects from the high school junior class. It appears that UCLA's two main targets in the high school junior class are currently Aaron Brooks, 5-11 JR PG, Seattle (Wash.) Franklin, and Sean Phaler, 6-9 JR PF, Villa Park (Calif.) High.
Brooks, after an impressive spring where he began getting quite a bit more recruiting attention, has definitely become the target of UCLA's attention. After the UCLA coaches saw him in Texas at a tournament a few weeks ago, they've been recruiting him pretty heavily and reportedly have offered Brooks a scholarship. Brooks also apparently likes Washington, Oregon, Gonzaga and New Mexico, along with UCLA. Reportedly, he scored in the high 900s on the SAT. Brooks is supposed to be visiting UCLA in early June.
Phaler, a skilled big man who likes to play more like a small forward, has many schools on him very early. When we spoke with him a few weeks ago, he said he was wide open, doesn't have a leader and was still considering many schools. The word is that UCLA, Stanford, Oregon, Utah are among his potential choices. Last year there was some solid inside info that Phaler liked UCLA and his parents preferred he stay close to home, but since then, the word is that he's legitimately looking at all of his options.
Also on UCLA's list is Brandon Bass, 6-7 JR PF, Baton Rouge (Lousiana) Capitol. Bass plays for a west coast AAU team, the H Squad, and was seen by many college coaches at the Pump East tourney in Vegas and in the recent Texas tournaments. Bass is a wiry athlete, who gets off the floor quickly and plays around the basket very aggressively. He probably weighs 200 pounds, but is put together very well and plays bigger than he is. He's probably a top 60 player or better nationally. UCLA is taking a shot with him, having a connection with the west coast AAU team, but Bass lists many schools as the one's he's considering, including LSU, Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia Tech, Texas and others.
Nick Stiggers, 6-7 JR PF, Van Nuys (Calif.) Montclair Prep, is also a possibility, but probably a remote one. Stiggers is a big, burly low-block player, with a nice set of skills that allow him to shoot out to the three-point line. He's limited a bit athletically, but probably effective enough to make up for it. Stiggers came to the west coast from Florida this past season, and it's generally believed that USC has been deeply involved with Stiggers since last year. He said last weekend that, if he had to choose right now, USC would be his choice. Stiggers did say recently that UCLA came out to see him during the contact period.
Marcus Williams, 6-2 JR PG, Los Angeles (Calif.) Crenshaw, looks to be falling down UCLA's recruiting list, mutually. Williams was thought to be a heavy UCLA lean, in fact, many considered him a silent verbal. It went so far as to the UCLA coaches asking Williams what other players in his class he'd like them to bring in with him. But recently the Williams family apparently has had some reservations, while UCLA, at the same time, has had some of their own. It's uncertain even if UCLA is recruiting Marcus Williams now.
So, going into the summer, it looks like Brooks and Phaler will be the two main targets to fill the needs at point guard and post player.

Need Stenciling Help
Decorating By JackieDryden Updated 30 May 2011 , 5:57am by cabecakes
o.k. I did a cake and it's in my photos, and the person asked for a damask pattern on the top and bottom tier. I had craft stencils I had bought and used once before on top of a cake. This time almost every stencil would bow up at the delicate detail spots, or when i pulled the stencil off-it looked like I blobbed it on in areas. I also tried to make black RI and even made it ahead of time so the color could deepen, and still it was dark gray. So I painted over the crappy stencil with black gel. I'm just diappointed at how the stenciling came out, and I have a wedding cake each week for the next 2 weeks, that require stenciling-I'm nervous! Any suggestions?
I bought some black Ameri-color at Hobby Lobby and had the same issue a week ago. I put in a lot of the color and could still only get a dark gray color. I finally added a little cocoa, but I still couldn't come up with the color I wanted. It was royal icing as well. It sounds like maybe your stencil isn't lying flat to the cake and icing is seeping under the stencil. Did your stencil get bent up a little.

Wonderful Steak Eggplant Casserole Recipe
Wonderful recipe discovery!
We discovered a wonderful recipe for a steak-eggplant casserole in my mother's recipe box last week and decided to give it a try. It turned out to be absolutely delicious!
Since my husband and I sold our home many years ago as did my mother and we found a home in which we could all live comfortably together, much merging of possessions took place.
Of course we both divested ourselves of many things also when we decided to make this move.
One thing in which we kept much of what we had gathered through the years was both of our collections of cookbooks and recipes.
My hubby's mother died a number of years ago and we also have many of her favorite recipes.
Thus...we have plenty of recipes in this house!
Eggplant Recipe - Ratatouille Recipe, French Recipes
Recipe collection
We decided a while back to start going through this vast collection of recipes and try some of them which we would then label as being worth keeping and repeating...or culling them.
Anything made with Eggplant ( also known as Aubergine ) as an ingredient always gets my attention. So much can be done with it that we enjoy eating.
So this Steak-Eggplant Casserole recipe intrigued me. It was written on a notepad piece of paper from Compere Insurance Agency from Pharr, Texas. And it was in my handwriting!
Obviously when I was still living at home, I must have tasted this casserole somewhere and asked for the recipe.
When I left the Rio Grande Valley, the recipe stayed in my mother's recipe box and I forgot about it. I was not doing much cooking at the time since I was staying in a nurse's dorm in the Texas Medical Center and cooking space was limited.
She did not remember it so we decided it was about time to make it and decide among ourselves whether this would be a "keeper" or not.
Sadly, no note was made as from whom the recipe originated.

Do you like eating eggplant?
Eggplant is an extremely valuable vegetable full of fiber, vitamins, minerals and some phytonutrients.
At 27 calories a cup, it makes it an ideal food for those interested in losing weight.
High in fiber, it is good for the bowels and helps to satisfy one's hunger.
Providing a good source of potassium, manganese, magnesium and copper, it also contains potent antioxidants which help to protect cell membranes from damage.
Eggplant can also serve to fight the effects of LDL or bad cholesterol in one's body and has zero cholesterol of its own. It also has some anti-viral as well as anti-cancer effects that are under study.
Without even knowing all of this information in the beginning, we have simply learned to love the taste which is mild and melds nicely with other flavors with which it might be paired.
It is a part of the nightshade group of plants which include potatoes, tomatoes and sweet peppers and eggplant grows much like a green or red pepper dangling from its stem above ground.
There are various varieties (and colors) but the main ones seen in the grocery stores (at least the ones in which we shop in Houston) are the bulbous purple ones or the longer skinnier varieties with the deep purple skins.
Steak, green peppers and onions for recipe
Old Recipe
This is obviously an old recipe and called for purchasing round steak.
We no longer often see that cut of meat and we substituted thinly cut chuck steak like the picture to the right.
It also called for a #2 can of tomatoes.
No one uses that terminology anymore and we used a 14 1/2 oz sized can.
OK...so here is the recipe:
2 pounds of thinly cut chuck steak
2 pounds of green peppers
1 unpeeled large eggplant
One 14 1/2 ounce sized can of small diced tomatoes
1/2 cup of chopped green onions and tops ( I used one entire bunch )
One 8 ounce can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon salt ( you can add more after cooking if this is not enough to suit your taste )
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Pinch of oregano ( I used about 1 teaspoon )
1/4 cup of oil
Cut the meat in long strips and mix with the flour, salt and pepper and brown in the oil.
Cut all the vegetables in long strips.
After the meat is browned, add all other ingredients.
Bake ( covered ) for 2 hours at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
How to Make Eggplant Parmesan
Delicious Eggplant Recipes from The Produce Lady
To peel or not to peel...
Sometimes when we make recipes like eggplant Parmesan, my mother does not like the skin left on the eggplant due to it's slightly bitter taste. So in trying this recipe again...some 40 years after it had been hand copied , I decided to peel the eggplant. I probably won't do that next time since finding out that all the wonderful phytonutrients are found to be primarily in the skin.
The rich stew-like consistency of the casserole was so scrumptiously delicious and flavorful that we definitely voted this recipe to be a "keeper." In fact it was rated "excellent" which is the highest rating that we give any recipe in our home.
My mother is not a big meat eater and she even had seconds which almost never happens.
One could serve this over rice, potatoes or pasta. A good crusty piece of bread could also be used to sop up the flavorful sauce.
We simply paired it with a crisp green salad.
If you are like us after you give this wonderful steak eggplant casserole a try it will become a family favorite.
If you liked this recipe, please PUT SOME STARS on it. Thanks!

Comments are welcomed.
Interesting recipe pairing it with steak. I'm wondering what to use in place of steak or meat as I would like to pair it with another veggie. Any ideas?
Love eggplant, and I bet this is so yummy! Thought I best check this out again before it disappears. Want to keep it in case I get to cook again one day.
Hope you're enjoying cooler temps. I love it! People are complaining that it's cold, but it's just right for me. The rain could have a few more breaks in-between storms, but otherwise it's great! Hope all is well with you.

How to Increase Productivity by Rising Early
If you're trying to start a new business, apply for a new job while you have a job, start a new project, or monitor your social media presence, you might be wondering where you could possibly fit it into your schedule. In college, I found a correlation between waking up earlier and productivity. I'd wake up at 7am (which in college life is like 4am), head to the dining hall with my laptop, and get a good two hours of work done before the dorm got loud. Then I could spend more of the evenings … [Read more...]

The Best Pumpkins for Pumpkin Pies
Growing pumpkins for Halloween is a great family project. What you plan to do with your pumpkins will determine which pumpkins you grow. Large pumpkins that are suitable for use as jack-o-lanterns aren't used for cooking because their flesh is watery and stringy. The best pumpkins for cooking, especially that all-important pumpkin pie, are smaller with firmer flesh and lower water content.
Culinary Pumpkins
Culinary pumpkins tend to weigh less than 10 pounds, falling in the range of 5 to 8 pounds each. Heirloom varieties include Small Sugar, Baby Pam and New England Pie. Modern hybrid pumpkins that are suitable to cook with include Howden's Field, Autumn Gold (an AAS variety) and Triple Treat.
Pumpkins that aren't pumpkins
Everyone knows and loves the heirloom pumpkin, Rouges Vif d'Etampes, the Cinderella pumpkin, but it is not a true pumpkin. Pumpkins are classified as Cucurbita pepo. Cinderella pumpkins are classified as Cucurbita maxima, considered a variety of winter squash. Nevertheless, Cinderella pumpkins can be used for cooking and baking. Another heirloom favorite that is not a true pumpkin is Musquee de Provence, classified as Cucurbita moschata, also a variety of winter squash. Musque de Provence is likewise a good culinary pumpkin. Both have firm flesh and low water content. And those pastel pumpkins that you see everywhere? They are called, improbably, cheese pumpkins and classified as Cucurbita moschata. Not only are they wonderful decorative pumpkins, but you can cook with them too.
What's in those cans?
So what variety of pumpkin is in those cans of pumpkin that fill the grocery shelves each fall? Winter squash, not pumpkin. Libby, the largest producer of canned pumpkin, uses Dickinson pumpkins, a variety of butternut squash (Cucurbita moschata). Other winter squash that can be substituted for pumpkins include hubbard squash, buttercup squash and turban squash all of which are Cucurbita maxima.
How to make pumpkin puree
No matter which pumpkin or squash you grow, making puree is easy.
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Wash the pumpkin and cut it in half. Scoop out the seeds and stringy parts. Lay the halves face down on a foil-lined cookie sheet and bake for 45 minutes to one hour or until soft.
Cool the halves and then scoop out the cooked flesh. Puree it in a food processor. The puree can be used immediately or frozen for later use.
When all is said and done, pumpkins are just another winter squash. So if you are unable to grow or buy culinary pumpkins, you can substitute other kinds of winter squash in your recipes.

Quite useful and concise. I make a good half a dozen pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving, so this just may yet come in handy.
Great information, I had no idea the canned pumpkin was actually squash! I bought a small pumpkin that weighs about 5 pounds. I just thought it was cute and used it as decoration. It's great to know I can also make a pie from it--thanks for sharing this ;) Pearl
Voted Up++ and pinned
This was interesting, as I never knew what exactly was in those cans nor did I know how to make puree. Voted up ++ and pinning.
Thanks for the very interesting insight into the pumpkin pies that we usually make over the holidays. For years, I've thought I should bake my own pumpkin to make my homemade pies. Last year, I did, and used a regular pumpkin. The taste was good but quite different from what I was used to. I had no idea that the Libby's canned pumpkin was actually Dickinson pumpkins, a variety of butternut squash (Cucurbita moschata).
This is good information to have this time of year. I'm ready for some good ole pumpkin pie.
Helpful information. I was ignorant about this for years. I just thought a pumpkin was a pumpkin until I started growing them. LOL
I didn't know that winter squash was used for canned "pumpkins." Most of us have probably never tasted real pumpkin pie.
To me, pumpkins are for chunking. I prefer sweet potato pie. But your hub looks good in any case!
I always wondered how pumpkin pies were made. Just wish we could TASTE the hubs, to see if I would like it. Great information, thanks.
Thanks for this information. I make my own pumpkin puree too. I never knew what was in the can called pumpkins and now I know. Thank you so much for writing this hub.

Item Description...
From Eve's apple to Proust's madeleine to today's culinary tourism, food looms large in culture. Debates about health and nutrition are common in news reports. Yet despite its fundamental relationship to food, taste is mysteriously absent from most of these discussions. The flavors of foods permeate social relations, religious and other occasions. Charged with memory, emotion, desire and aversion, taste is arguably the most evocative of the senses. The Taste Culture Reader explores the sensuous dimensions of eating and drinking, from the physiology of the tongue to the embodiment of social identities and enactment of ceremonial meanings. This book will interest anyone seeking to understand more fully the importance of food and flavor in human experience.

text: Porn for Patric is an interesting blog that mixes promotional trailers from pay sites with commentary from Patric himself about what goes on around him. He expresses his takes on a number of things then refers back to arranging some very hot promotional shorts sent out by Pay Sites such as Corbin Fisher, Randy Blue, Chaos Men and some red hot Bareback pay sites. In fact, I am not sure he has not included every hot site there is, somehow, in this wide and sultry collection of promotional trailers. His object is to sell porn, of course, but we get a glimpse like few other blogs who do the same thing, of a variety and simple profusion of sites that makes selections most interesting, actually. From bears to Twinks, Patric really and truly does manage to cover them all. He even lists GayDemon as one of his blogroll friends! Aside from that, ahem, Patric has an inspiring blog, full of mischief and hot sex, which is what we're looking for, after all. Whether one signs up or not to one of his listed promotions, the fact that they are such a diverse and hot collection makes viewing quite pleasant indeed. The categories he lists, and the links he provides are nearly unending. A great blog by an interesting dude.

Incomplete Values error is shown after submitting a completed formAsked by LearningDevRRHS on February 03, 2016 at 04:36 PM
Hi There,
I have a form built, and I have had numerous complaints from clients telling me they receive the error "Incomplete Values there are incomplete fields in your submission. Please go back and fix the problem(s)."
I have checked the form and there isnt any required fields left blank, because in order to proceed to the next page, the user must select an option. Also, if a user clicks the Go back button on the error, the form is then blank.
I am wondering if this can be looked into on my form to find out what is causing the problem.
Thank you,
JotForm Support
Hello Tyler,
When I check a cloned version of your form, it is working normally just fine without any unusual error. My test submission went through.
May we know if you have embedded the form to your website? If yes, please let us know the website URL so we can further investigate. Issues like this usually occur when there's a conflict between the form and the website scripts. Using iframe embed code should fix this. https://www.jotform.com/help/148-Getting-the-Form-iFrame-Code
Thank you!
Hi EltonCris, the website URL is MyRocHealth.com/RocTheFuture
Please let me know,
Thank you for the URL. I have checked it and do not have any issues with it, but seeing what you have mentioned as the error and that the form is embedded using js embed code, it is likely that some people are experiencing the incomplete values error.
Looking at your form Tyler I do notice that no fields are marked as required, which I presume is a temporary patch because of the issue that was presenting itself.
To fix this, please do replace the current embed code with the iframe embed code. You can see how to get it here: How to get the jotform iFrame Code
Once you do, it should no longer cause any issues.
