The Pentagon spin machine isn't just confined to media flacks in Kabul or their willing accomplices in DC Thinktankistan. It applies to how ISAF reports on actions in far-flung parts of the country.
As an example, let us consider the ongoing struggle for Nuristan. The most recent news I wrote about was an attempt last month to attack the provincial capital of Parun. But just two weeks later, a big insurgent force moved to the western part of the province and attacked and briefly captured Doab (sometimes called Mandol, depending on the source). According to the Afghan media, what followed was at least two days of fighting, resulting in at least 20 dead civilians and lots of destruction. It was clearly a massive operation, lasting over several days, and very violent.
ISAF, however, chose to portray what happened differently: they came out with an anodyne press release about how a 'combined force' had gone in to 'assess' the situation. There was no mention of the intense fighting. Reading the press release, one would think there were just some potshots, an air strike, nothing was overrun, and then things were fine:
The combined force came under small arms fire upon landing from an unknown number of insurgents. The combined force returned fire and called for close air support, suppressing the enemy fire and killing more than 10 insurgents.
Initial reporting from the combined force engagement indicates there was no damage to property and no civilians injured.
"We have seen the insurgent claims in the media. Our Afghan and coalition forces are on the ground. There is some fighting however no indication at this time the district was ever overrun. The ground force commander continues to develop the situation on the ground," said Col. Hans Bush, ISAF Joint Command spokesman.
Alas, it gets worse. A followup piece from ISAF two weeks later tells a dramatically different story.
Knowing troops were in contact and pinned down, the entire distribution platoon, along with every available officer and enlisted soldier, worked on the flightline putting the bags together, Parker-Bellinger said. The hastily-assembled team packaged about 25 bags before helicopters from Company A, 1st Battalion, 169th Combat Aviation Brigade, arrived to deliver the supplies to the troops in contact…
Henkle and Parker-Bellinger said they were not on the ground [in their helicopter] more than a minute, yet it was one of the most intense moments of their lives. The two, who have completed about 120 convoy missions through northeastern Afghanistan, had been in convoys which took fire, but both said they had never experienced an attack of that magnitude… Due to the damage to the aircraft, as well as an imminent storm, the crews did not return for a second resupply.
Now we're learning that this firefight at the landing zone in Doab was so intense the soldiers there were pinned down, the resupply helicopters were damaged by gunfire the moment they landed, and the ground conditions so bad they couldn't return. But it gets even worse than that: when a civilian reporter wanted to tell the story of these troops in Doab, an even more dire picture emerged. To explain why, I'll quote sections of this article that are the exact opposite of ISAF's spin on the event.
- Members of the Guard's 1st Battalion, 133rd Infantry Regiment – the "Ironman Battalion" – lived up to their nickname in the recapture of the Afghan town of Do Ab, Nuristan province, in heavy fighting with entrenched Taliban insurgents on May 25.
- They provided cover fire for a second wave mainly made up of friendly Afghan forces. Supported by assault helicopters and Air Force fighter jets, they drove off the enemy and retook Do Ab, a governmental center similar to a county seat, according to soldiers' accounts.
- It was one of the "most significant engagements the Red Bull has been involved in since World War II," Guard spokesman Maj. Mike Wunn in Afghanistan said.
- Soldiers would take cover behind rocks for protection, only to be subjected to fire from another angle. "You were taking fire from pretty much every direction," Foote said.
- The force leaders on the ground decided to head for the shelter of the compound of defensible livestock buildings rather than take a narrow and exposed road directly into Do Ab, especially after a friendly Afghan police force the Guardsmen were to meet up with did not show.
- The Ironmen eventually made contact with the Afghan police. Do Ab was deserted upon their arrival, but within four days of retaking the center, children could be seen playing in the street again.
All of that is interesting, and getting it so badly wrong in the first few pressers about the operation could conceivably be blamed on the fog of war. But one part leaps out as evidence to the contrary: "Intelligence reports indicated the reinforced Taliban had seized Do Ab." They had reports the place had been seized, taken over, overrun, however you want to call it. They went into Doab because of intelligence reports that indicated the Taliban had become entrenched there, and wanted to assess how bad it was.
Despite the intelligence that said Doab was overrun, which prompted the deployment of troops in the first place, and subsequent reporting from the soldiers who were there that they were in the worst firefight of their lives, stretching out over several days and resulting in the damage to at least two helicopters, ISAF still chose to be first out the gate by saying it wasn't that big a deal and they never saw any reason to think the Taliban had taken the district center.
Getting some details wrong, like the number of affected civilians or any damage to nearby structures, is understandable. That's not the scandal here. ISAF HQ has access to real-time information from a firefight. They had intelligence beforehand that the Taliban had seized Doab. They had to have been aware of the intensity of the combat, the difficulties that the aircraft faced going in and getting out, and at least some of the damage that resulted.
To portray the battle to retake Doab as anything other than a massive firefight lasting over days that killed dozens, especially right after it happened, is the most shameful of spin. The darker side of me wants to think that ISAF is so desperate to avoid the appearance of Taliban momentum that they'll cloud the PR wires with deliberately misleading information to combat that. I have no evidence they do this. Their press flacks could just be astoundingly incompetent, which a recent article leads me to believe is equally likely.
In either case, though, I want to officially beg ISAF: please stop lying to us. It hurts us, it hurts you, and most importantly it will hurt the troopers in the end. Just… stop.

FirstHealth Offering Smoking Cessation Clinical Trial
| Date Posted: 5/23/2013
PINEHURST – Celebrate National Cancer Survivors Day by quitting smoking and increasing your odds of becoming a cancer survivor. The Clinical Trials office at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital is participating in a tobacco-cessation clinical trial for cancer patients.
The treatment opportunity studies a quitline-based smoking-cessation treatment for patients receiving treatment for lung, breast, prostate, colorectal, bladder, head and neck, or cervical cancer. The study is being conducted in partnership with FirstHealth's FirstQuit program.
"Our oncology team is very excited about this trial," says Lori DeSpain, R.N., of FirstHealth Clinical Trials. "Once enrolled, patients who are trying to kick the habit are given the additional support, tools and attention to help be successful during their cancer treatments. Quitting smoking may improve response to cancer treatments by reducing chances of complications and reducing side effects of chemotherapy and radiation."
Quitting smoking also lowers the risk of a cancer recurrence, reduces the risk of a tobacco-related cancer and can result in a longer survival after a cancer diagnosis.
To be eligible for the trial, participants must have one of the cancers listed above, have recently smoked tobacco and be willing to consider quitting smoking.
Charles Kuzma, M.D., a board certified medical oncologist with the FirstHealth Cancer Center, is the trial's principal investigator.
The Southeast Cancer Control Consortium (SCCC) is a group of community oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists and urologists located in the southeastern United States who are committed to bringing cancer clinical trials to their communities. The clinical research department at FirstHealth works closely with SCCC to bring clinical trials to patients at FirstHealth.
FirstHealth research treatment opportunities are provided through support from the Reid Research Center. For more information on this and other clinical trials available at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital, call (910) 715-2200 or visit FirstHealth's clinical trials website at www.firsthealth.org/clinicaltrials.

- The Basics: What is a Real Property Purchase Agreement?
- When Do I Need One?
- The Consequences of Not Using One
1. The Basics: What is a Real Property Purchase Agreement?
A Real Property Purchase Agreement is a written document between a buyer who wants to purchase a home or other piece of real property and a seller who owns that property and wants to sell it. It is usually proposed by a buyer, and subject to the seller's acceptance of the terms. This document does not actually transfer title of a home, building, or lot. Instead, it provides a framework of the rights and responsibilities of each party before the legal transfer of title can occur.
A simple document will identify the following basic elements:
- Buyer and seller details: The full names and contact information of the parties to the contract.
- Property details: The address of the property, as well as a legal description of the land to accurately identify the location of the property. A legal description of land will commonly be in metes and bounds and prepared by a licensed surveyor.
- Purchase price: The total price to be paid for the property, including any deposits or adjustments.
- Representations and warranties: The seller will make certain statements of facts and promises regarding the property that the buyer will rely upon in entering the transaction.
- Financing: Will the buyer be financing his or her purchase through third-party financing or seller financing, or will the buyer assume the seller's existing mortgage?
- Contingencies: Any actions or conditions that must occur for the contract to happen.
- Title insurance: One party is usually responsible for obtaining title insurance in the name of the buyer. Title insurance is a form of insurance that covers loss of value in the property due to future discoveries of defects in title.
- Closing and possession dates: When will the legal transfer occur and when will the buyer be entitled to take possession of the property?
- Lead-based paint disclosure: A mandatory disclosure for homes built before 1978. A lead-based paint disclosure provides buyers certain information about lead hazards in the home, providing opportunity for an independent lead inspection.
These additional elements can also be included:
- Dispute resolution: How the parties will resolve any disputes – mediation, arbitration, litigation or combination.
- Inspection: The buyer has the right to inspect the home within a specified period of time.
- Closing deliverables: Deliverables are the documents that will be transferred to the other party during the closing.
- Closing costs: Closing costs are lender and third party fees associated with the closing of the purchase of the property.
- Risk of loss: Risk of loss is the liability of either the seller or the buyer for the property if there is damage between the time the contract is created and finalized.
- Real estate taxes: Also known as a property tax, real estate taxes are taxes imposed on the land and any structures that are permanently attached to the ground, such as buildings or homes.
- Assumption of lease: If the property is currently being leased, depending on the terms of the lease, the buyer may have to assume and continue to honor the terms of the lease.

A Real Property Purchase Agreement may also be called:
- Real Estate Purchase Agreement
- Real Estate Contract
- Residential Real Estate Purchase Agreement
- Agreement to Purchase Real Estate
Common Terms in Real Estate Purchase Agreements
Earnest money deposit: An earnest money deposit is a deposit showing the buyer's good faith and commitment to proceed with the purchase of the property. In return for the buyer making an earnest money deposit, the seller takes the property off the market. At the closing of the purchase, the earnest money deposit is credited to the purchase price. If the contract is terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the earnest money deposit is usually returned to the buyer.
Contingency: A contingency is a condition that must be met in order for the purchase to occur. If the contingency is not met, the buyer has the option to terminate the contract and not follow through with the purchase. Some examples of common contract contingencies include:
- Inspection contingency: Most buyers will opt to have a professional perform a thorough inspection on their potential home, which can be an important step in the home-buying process. The average home inspection costs between $200-$400. The inspector will examine the condition of the home, including the roof, foundation, plumbing, and HVAC system to ensure that there are no serious defects that would affect the enjoyment or value of the property. The inspector then prepares a report of his or her findings, and the buyer and the seller will have to negotiate what, if any, repairs will be made. While the seller is under no obligation to make any repairs, the inspection contingency does give the buyer the right to terminate the contract and receive a refund on the earnest money deposit.
- Financing contingency: While a buyer who can pay all cash is ideal for sellers, most buyers will need some kind of financing to help fund the purchase of the property. A financing contingency clause allows a buyer to withdraw from the contract and recover the earnest money deposit if he or she is unable to secure a loan or mortgage. This clause protects buyers in the event they are unable to secure a loan, and cannot complete the purchase. Buyers who are paying all cash or who have already secured financing can choose to waive this contingency to make their offer more attractive.
- Appraisal contingency: When a buyer applies for a loan, the lender will almost always perform an appraisal of the property to estimate the property's value. Or buyers may choose to have an appraisal done on their own to ensure that they are not overpaying for the property. If the appraisal value on the property comes back less than the purchase price, the lender will only lend up to the appraised amount. The buyer can decide to make up the difference in cash added to the downpayment, the seller could lower the purchase price, or the parties could negotiate something in the middle. If they are unable to come to an agreement, the appraisal contingency clause allows the buyer to void the contract and receive a refund on the earnest money deposit.
- Sale of home contingency: Sometimes buyers will need cash or equity for a down payment to purchase a new home. Often the only way for them to get this cash is to sell the home they currently own and use the proceeds from that to fund a new home. A sale of home contingency clause allows a buyer to withdraw from the contract if the buyer's home is not sold by a specified date and the buyer is unable to withdraw the needed equity.
Thinking about waiving any of the contingencies in your agreement? Read this helpful article from Redfin on whether or not you should waive three common contingencies.
Escrow: Escrow is a neutral third party in charge of holding funds during the purchase transaction. Earnest money deposits are usually placed into escrow. Escrow offers protection for both parties while contractual risks are still outstanding. For example, a buyer could place his or her earnest money deposit into escrow until a home inspection is complete, and be confident that if there are problems with the inspection and the buyer decides not to proceed with the contract, her or she will get the earnest money deposit back from the escrow party.
Closing: Closing is the final step in a real estate transaction between the buyer and the seller. All agreements and documents are signed and exchanged, the remaining balance on the purchase price is paid, keys are exchanged, and title of the property passes to the buyer.

2. When Do I Need One?
After watching House Hunters on HGTV for years, it's finally your turn to go out and find the perfect home. Or you've bought a run-down home, poured your money and sweat into fixing it up, and now you're ready to list it for sale. Either way, once you find that perfect home or ideal buyer, you'll want to make sure that you have an agreement in writing to ensure that it's smooth sailing until the closing, and you'll know what to do if there are any hiccups along the way.
You should use a Real Property Purchase Agreement if you (a) are a potential buyer or seller of residential property, (b) want to define the legal rights of each party to the sale, and (c) outline each party's' respective duties before the transfer of legal title.
This agreement can be used for any residential property purchase or sale, as long as the construction of the home is completed before the closing date of the contract.
Think of this document as a road-map for the period between signing the agreement and closing the sale.
Below is a general outline of the process of purchasing a home:
Real Property Purchase Agreement Process
|Buyer goes to open houses in search of the perfect house
|Seller lists its house for sale
|Offer to Purchase
|Buyer makes offer to seller
Seller can accept or counteroffer
|Final Agreement Executed
|Buyer and seller agree on and finalize the purchase agreement
|Buyer and seller agree on and finalize the purchase agreement
|Escrow opened and buyer deposits earnest money → Buyer completes inspections, reviews title
|Seller makes agreed upon repairs, purchases title insurance
|Buyer starts loan process
|Lender (third party) or seller agree to fund
|Buyer pays remaining balance
|Seller moves out of home and finalizes the transfer of title
|Buyer gets keys and recorded deed and moves into his or her new home
|Escrow pays seller and records deed with County Recorders Office
After the closing of your contract, you will need to have a Warranty Deed or Quitclaim Deed executed to actually transfer ownership of the property.
Sometimes a buyer will pay for the property all in cash. However, most of the time, the buyer will need additional financing to come up with the full purchase price. Here are the three common financing methods used in real estate purchase agreements:
- Third-party financing: A bank or other lending institution provides a loan or mortgage to a buyer which the buyer must pay back over time, with interest. This is the most common form of property purchase financing. Third-party financing can be affected by things like a buyer's employment situation, present financial portfolio, and credit score.
- Seller financing: The seller acts as the bank or lending institution and agrees to lend the buyer money to purchase the property. The buyer then pays back the loan over time, with interest.
- Assumption of mortgage: The buyer agrees to take over and pay the seller's liability for payments on an already existing mortgage on the property. This method saves the buyer from closing costs or potentially higher interest rates on a new mortgage.
The financing arrangement can be documented in a Loan Agreement or Promissory Note. If the property will be pledged to secure the loan, a Mortgage Agreement or Deed of Trust can be used as well.
Title Insurance
A written agreement will also ensure that the buyer receives a title insurance policy, which is an important protection for buyers. Title insurance is a type of insurance that protects against loss or damage due to liens, encumbrances, or other defects in title, subject to certain exceptions. Unlike most other types of insurance that protect against events that may occur in the future, for a one-time fee, title insurance protects against events that happened in the past.
Here are some common defects in title:
- Improperly recorded documents
- Forged deeds
- Unknown encumbrances, easements, or liens
- Undisclosed or missing heirs
- Failure of spouses to execute documents releasing any dower rights
- Undiscovered wills
Title insurance policies will generally follow the current standard form developed by the American Land Title Association or ALTA. In general, there are two types of title insurance – a lender's policy and an owner's policy.
Lender's title insurance policy: If the buyer is funding the purchase through a loan secured by a mortgage agreement or deed of trust, the lender will want protect its loan and secured interest in the property. If there is a defect in title and the buyer loses the home and is unable to make loan payments, the title company will repay the lender the loan amount up to the amount of the policy. However, the policy only protects the lender and the lender's loan.
Owner's title insurance policy: An owner's policy protects the owner against title defects for the entire time the buyer owns the property. Buyers can decide on the amount of coverage that they want under the policy. If there is a defect in title, the policy will cover any loss up to the amount of the policy, as well as pay for the cost of defending title.

3. The Consequences of Not Using One
If you don't have a Real Property Purchase Agreement, you and the other party to the contract will not have a clear understanding of your rights, the possible risks, and any economic implications of those potential risks. Without an agreement, it will be much more difficult to negotiate the scope of each party's liability and enforce your legal rights.
Seller Disclosures
A written agreement will also ensure that the seller gives the buyer all required disclosures. Sellers usually must disclose any documented defect or condition on the property that could have an adverse impact of the value of the property, as well as any improvements, renovations, or upgrades that the seller made on the property.
In general, the seller is only obligated to disclose information that he or she has personal knowledge of. However, state laws vary regarding what specific disclosures are required. For example, California has an extensive disclosure form that must be completed by the seller. In addition, federal law requires that sellers of any property built before 1978 complete a "Disclosure of Information on Lead-Based Paint and/or Lead-Based Paint Hazards" form and provide buyers with a "Protect Your Family From Lead In Your Home" pamphlet. Other common required disclosures include disclosures regarding natural hazards, environmental hazards, neighbors on a sex offender registry, termite or pests problems, deaths that occurred on the property, disputes with neighbors regarding property lines, neighborhood nuisances, flooding or drainage issues, the presence of mold, and any other conditions that could affect the buyer's use and enjoyment of the property.
Learn more about seller disclosures in this article from the Washington Post.
Another consequence of not having a Real Estate Purchase Agreement, is that the buyer and/or seller may be subject to unexpected taxes. The written agreement clearly lays out which party is responsible for any taxes, including real property taxes, transfer taxes, and income taxes.
In addition, under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Act of 1980 (FIRPTA) if the seller is a foreign person, the buyer is required to withhold up to 15% of the purchase price for withholding taxes. Under Section 1445(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, a "foreign person" is any person who is not a United States citizen, as well as certain qualified foreign pension funds.
Having a written agreement can ensure that the seller provides a certification that he or she is not a foreign person, thereby freeing the buyer from withholding any tax. However, if the buyer does not learn until later that the seller is a foreign person, he or she could be stuck with an unexpected tax bill, plus interest!
Here is a chart of possible consequences having a written agreement might help prevent:
|1. Lost time

Great for a few nights. The rooms are clean and quite. Snacks and drinks are avalivble through the night. Just a hop, skip and a jump to the Airport.
It was close to the Airport. shuttle bus service available. Staff are very helpful.
Excellent check-in, fast and efficient. The room is super clean. Nice firm beds that we like. Internet is included. Nothing, all went smoothly
Convenience to Terminal That I was told they could not guaranty a wake-up call as they were having problems with their system. As I had an early flight, I awoke at 3 and did not take a chance on going back to sleep for fear of missing my flight. Ended up that the system did work, and the hotel also followed up 15 minutes later to ensure that I was awake.

Right next to and attached with a tunnel to the airport. The convince
Never leaving the building to go from the train station to the hotel, then to the airport terminal the next morning was incredibly convenient. The window curtains did not close fully at each end of the window, which allowed some light into the room at night. The bathroom floor had a blunt edge of raised stone-like flooring material at the threshold. I had to fold a towel several times and lay it over the threshold in order not to catch my toe and stub it or trip. Poor design!
the ease of connecting to trains fior busines and shopping.nothing nothing.
Nice location, beautiful room, very quiet for airport.
The staff, especially at the reception desk was very nice. They seemed all very welcoming and always showing a warm smile. They also did their job diligently and were always willing to help. I actually remember and want to thank Melanie for helping me find my lost wallet. There was no excess of luxury, but my room was big, quiet and very comfortable. Honestly, it is a perfect place to stop by since it is very comfortable and convenient at a small walking distance from the airport. No free wifi all around in quite inconvenient. In order to achieve excellence of service, that is a must nowadays. Also, the wait for the check in was a little exaggerated, but it was caused by external circumstances to the hotel (flight cancellations) so it is totally understandable. And once again, the staff remained calm and welcoming despite people's complaints.
this is a hotel for business travellers who need to be at the airport. and yet, what business traveller does not need internet? the extortionate price of 19 euros gets you horrible, lagging, interrupted, unreliable and slow internet access from your room, and the free wifi in the lobby does not make up for this extortion. when you pay over 200 for the small room already, internet should be included
This is the perfect place if you are flying in or out of Frankfurt. I would highly recommend to anyone.
Best location Tv channels were not working properly. Tv experience was below averag. Bathroom sink faucet was leaking
The rooms were nice and modern, very convenient location. Breakfast is not included and when I was asked if I wanted the breakfast package, the front desk failed to mention it was 25 euro per person before asking to swipe my card. This hotel should never even think of charging 50 euro for what is included at 99 percent of hotels. Their food prices in the restaurants were also absurd across the board. Nice hotel but felt like I was being squeezed for every nickel and dime possible. Expected more than this.
Access to and from ICE train great.Clean and spacious, luxurious. Restaurant prices on high side. Breakfast not included in room price
The rooms smelled like people have smoked.
very quiet room, good bed - Room was not made when I came!! When I called they came and made the bed but did not clean to toilet or change the towels! Breakfast was very expensive (28 EUR), it's a good thing I did not have to pay for it
Good with transfer bus to airport
Perfekt läge , nära flygplatsen , valde ett rum med halvpension och blev överväldigad , maten jag fick var superb !! Rekommenderas !
Närheten till flygplatsen med en enkel shuttle service samt bra frukost. Lång väntan vid utcheckning och att det var väldigt besvärligt att betala med kort utan kod.
Vänligt och effektivt bemötande vid såväl in- som utcheckning. Restarang Faces fantastisk, såväl mat som personal!
Location and facilities. Nice and comfortable room Price is to high for what the hotel offers but the location is top...
Breakfast was very expensive.
Quiet Clean Location directly at the airport
This is an airport hotel, and it carries out that function well. The location is obviously great (directly on top of the train station, a comfortable indoor walk away from the terminal). Some earlier reviews suggested that there was a charge for wifi usage; this seems to have changed as the Wifi I used was not only free but stable and decently fast. Nothing reeaally bothered me, but it fosters the typical fear of breathing on the wrong thing for fear you'll be charged for it. They charge a 50-euro fee at check in to cover "incidental expenses" – uh-oh.
I had hard time finding the hotel, because of lack of clear visible signs in airport. Especially I got lost in the plaza just before, where escalators are. No signs where to go to find it.
Location Unairconditioned breezeways/hallways.
Very good hotel in overall, good bathroom, amazing people from front desk, good security for the elevators. Poor information on how to get through it from the airport, confusing AC adjustment, below average bed, could be cheaper. Missing more worldwide channels. Could have more food / drink options close. Would be nice to have flight information available at the lobby at least.
Attached to terminal 1. Easy, covered walk to the airport in the AM. Difficult to locate initially. I knew it was essentially in the train station, and it still took us about 20 minutes to find it. Essentially no signs (about hotels) in the train station. We finally took an elevator up (thinking it couldn't be down), then we found signage. Easy after that.
Location to airport Pricey
We chose this facility for ease to all transportation.
We were in transit and it was perfect hotel from that purpose.
proximity to the airport no free wifi
non-smoking room had strong cigarette odor
Great sauna/steam room Pay for wifi, pay more if you want to stream, breakfast not included, a bottle of water is 9.50€.
nice, spacious room, excellent shower, 4 minute walk to airport paying for wifi is just stupid at this point.
Gorgeous modern hotel right at the airport
Receptionist unfriendly. I was told by another very friendly staff member that she is new...
OK Jag retade mig på att man inte angaav att shuttleservice kostade för returen. Det var oärligt
Förvisso kollade jag inte men hotellet verkade vara lång ifrån fullbokat. Varför då placera en hoppande på kryckor längst in på hotellet ? Långt från hissar och reception.
När flygplatsen Tack vill inte köra den kort vägen mellan hotell och flygplats.

Is it possible to Clear a Form by selecting a different drop down item?Asked by humbuckermusic on December 19, 2014 at 10:21 AM
Here's my problem. I have a form that works fine as long as a customer doesn't go back up the form and change one of the answers to something else. Because of the show/hide logic, some of the unnecessary fields are still shown if they change a dropdown item.
The link to the form is below. A great solution would be if I had the ability to clear the form each time the answer to "Choose a MESA Boogie Cab to Customize" is changed.
If I am understand you correctly, you mean you need to hide the "Choose a MESA Boogie Cab to Customize" if the user select one of the dropdown list? if that is what you want, yes you can hide the "Choose a MESA Boogie Cab to Customize" by you using this Conditional logic.
Please check this screenshot:
Hope this help.
Unfortunately, that's not what I was trying to say. I'll give you a detailed example of the problem.
Let's say with the first question, you select "1x12 Thiele"
Then you select "Blue Bronco" as the next answer.
So far so good. :)
Now, if the customer changes their mind on the first question, and decides to re-select "1x12 Royal Atlantic 27" , then proceeds to select "Blue Bronco" again, the field that I showed from the "1x12 Thiele" (called "std - color plus grill - Select Grill Cloth") is still shown and isn't hidden. It should only be displaying "ra - color plus grill - Select Grill Cloth".
Does that make better sense? :)
Thank you form the clarification. Yes, its possible using this condition.
"IF Choose a MESA Boogie Cab to Customize Is Equal To "1X12 Royal Atlantic 27 --- $439"
HIDE std - Only grill - Select Grill Cloth"
Please check this screenshot below.
Hope this help.
Unfortunately, that only resolves that one example. Other selections can cause the same problem to happen with other fields.
The first question, "Choose a MESA Boogie Cab to Customize" has about thirty possible responses, with each triggering one of ten responses. Creating a rule for each scenario (about 300 different ones) would be unacceptable. I'm sure you'd agree. :)
That leads me to my original question... Is it possible to clear a form by selecting a different drop down item?
JotForm Support
Unfortunately, this is not possible to clear the form upon drop down selection.
I have a form that works fine as long as a customer doesn't go back up the form and change one of the answers to something else.
You might try creating conditions to show the necessary fields only. It is not clear when the 'std - Only grill - Select Grill Cloth' option is supposed to be displayed, so this is hard to provide some example.

Hatters give Cobblers the boot
Northampton lost out 1-0 to local rivals Luton as substitute Adam Watkins sent the Hatters into the FA Cup second round.
Last Updated: 12/11/11 8:26pm
Northampton lost out 1-0 to local rivals Luton as substitute Adam Watkins sent the Hatters into the FA Cup second round.
A feisty derby had everything apart from goals in the first-half with two Luton penalty claims turned down and a disallowed goal for the visitors.
Luton skipper George Pilkington was guilty of wasting the best chance when he somehow headed wide from six yards.
The Hatters' first penalty shout came after 10 minutes when Michael Jacobs left a leg dangling, while 20 minutes later referee Andy D'Urso also turned down a shove on Amari Morgan-Smith.
Northampton responded and Adebayo Akinfenwa might have opened the scoring in the 20th minutes but his header was brilliantly saved by Kevin Pilkington, and the Cobblers' on-loan West Brom star Saido Berahino swept home only for the strike to be ruled out for offside.
The hosts' John Kissock then somehow headed over from a corner unmarked six-yards out midway through the second half and with 10 minutes to play it was a half-chance taken with aplomb that won the tie for Luton.
Watkins reacted to a loose ball and buried a ferocious left footed effort low into the corner from the edge of the box.

Team India will have unsettling memories of the days when they were up against the South African pace battery of Allan Donald, Shaun Pollock, Lance Klusener and Brian McMillan. The Indians would recall with a high degree of distress when they were shot out for 100 and 66 in the first Test on their 1996-97 tour of the African nation. They were clueless against the frightening pace of the speed quartet.
But the Indians have grown in stature and experience from that early disaster. In their last series against the side in South Africa in 2006/07, they faced the likes of Andre Nel, Makhaya Ntini and Shaun Pollock to come away with partial success. India won the first encounter by 123 runs, but went down in the subsequent two Tests due to an inability to get on top of the bowlers.
Now as they embark on a brand new tour of South Africa, they come face to face with a current potential nemesis - Dale Steyn. The Indians have had a taste of his brand of bowling on South African pitches. During the 2006-07 tour, Dale Steyn made quite an impact in the third and deciding Test. He took 6/88 in his cumulative 34 overs from both innings. Since he too has grown in stature since that outing, he is capable of inflicting even more damage. Ever since he made his Test debut against England at Port Elizabeth in Dec 2004,
Dale Steyn has become a force to reckon with and a potent weapon for his side. He current bears a phenomenal bowling average of 23.77 with 217 wickets from 43 matches to his name with as many as 14 five-wicket hauls to his credit.
He is coming off a slightly disappointing series in the UAE against Pakistan, where his team were only able to draw the two Tests on placid pitches. But the strips at home promise results, which is what he is hoping for. "It will be really sad if we have similar wickets to the ones we had when we played Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates," said Steyn. "This is a big series between two good sides and we need results to keep people interested."
Steyn is going into the current series with a strong belief that his side holds the edge against India. "I still think that our bowlers tend to bowl better in these conditions. And it's the same with our batsmen. They are more used to these conditions." India know only too well what they are in for - a barrage of short balls and bouncers. They are adapting to the same at India coach Gary Kirsten's cricket academy in Cape Town.
Steyn is wary of the Indian openers as he feels their stand will take much heard-work to break. "A guy like Sachin, with the reputation that he is has, is always going to be an important wicket. But for me, their opening pair is terrifying, with Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag."
Steyn has been prosperous against India, knocking off 32 scalps in seven Tests. His new-ball partner Morne Morkel has 15 from six against India and together they've shared 206 wickets in 24 matches. "We've played a lot of cricket together at the Titans and now with the national side and we are always fighting between us for wickets."
But India are the No. 1 Test team for a reason and South Africa, as the No. 2 team will have to be on their toes if they want to entertain hopes of pipping India to the post. So with the battle of two cricketing super-powers in the offing, and Dale Steyn in the middle of the storm, a scintillating contest is on the cards.

Like me on Facebook - www.facebook.com Here is a short clip showing the SLR McLaren Roadster owned by the owner of Platinum Motorsports in Hollywood, California. When Jack bought the car he wanted it to be unique so right away they developed a body kit for the car which includes all sorts of carbon fiber bits, They installed a new front lip, rear diffuser, a bigger lip for the wing and air brake, and carbon fiber vents. To give the car a better stance they put on a set of rims and lowered the car. It looks absolutely insane in person! Please leave a comment and subscribe. Enjoy!

Me and my friends with benefits have been seeing each other for 5 months now and things are pretty good between us. Lately he's been asking what I feel about us being in a relationship. He's asked a few times and each time I say I want to be but then he won't say what he wants or how he feels. There has also been a few times when he says maybe we'll be serious or be official but he won't say for sure. I'm not sure why he keeps bringing it up if he won't really do anything about it or is he waiting for me to say something? But I've already told him yes more than once so I'm not sure what to do. What do you think?
Why does he keep asking about a relationship?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
tricky. is he testing the waters to see if you're getting to emotionally attached; or is he asking in a roundabout way if you're still single (i. e. he's not getting seconds); is he too shy to say he also wants one; can you risk the benefits by saying no more until it's clear one way or the other. The longer this goes on, what are the odds in your mind of it developing or actually only preventing you from finding someone special?00|00|0

We put our tree up this afternoon. It's a fake tree, nothing fancy. And then I went to make dinner and the kids decided to crawl underneath the tree so they could look up through the lights. It's something that Val has done since she was about 2, but a 7 year old is a tight fit underneath the tree. I heard a big crash and glass breaking, and then kids crying, and I went into the living room and they were stuck under the tree with their little legs sticking out one side, kicking and crying. I picked up the tree and the kids were fine. The base of the tree broke though...there's not much that feels dumber than standing in a pile of broken glass holding up a heavy fake tree and trying to pick the ornaments off so you can take it apart.
And then Sophie wanted to know if Santa would still come if the tree was broken
Poor woman, bet you didn't know whether to laugh or cry....
Shelle, that's what I was thinking! I was laughing as I read the story, knowing that if I had to clean up the mess and get another tree, I wouldn't be laughing ... at least not right away.
But man, Texas, you're going to get a lot of "good behavior" mileage out of this thing! A good mom will hold it over their head for the rest of the month!
But man, Texas, you're going to get a lot of "good behavior" mileage out of this thing! A good mom will hold it over their head for the rest of the month!
Hear hear!
OUr tree broke too but not because of anything cute like your kids. The couplers on which the branches hang just broke off. As in crumbled and fell apart. DH will try to do tree surgery tonight.
I'm so pi$$ed. It's only a year old! Our last tree lasted 12 years. Sigh. They don't make 'em like they used to. (I sound like my mom)
I think this tree is 4 years old, my sister bought it from someone on Craigslist and used it for a year, then handed it down to us because it was too much trouble to assemble. I pulled the broken parts off...this tree stand is beyond surgery. Tomorrow I will decide whether to get another tree or a stand. Right now I'd like to skip the whole thing...
...but when I was Val's age, I knocked down the bride mannequin in Cloth World. So I guess a tree isn't that bad.
I bought shatterproof ornaments this year and I love them! No more shattered glass to step on!
I bought shatterproof ornaments this year and I love them! No more shattered glass to step on!
That's a good idea Lots of these were ceramic ones I've painted over the years, or big glass balls that I glued rhinestones on (prettier than it sounds ).
I'm sorry Texas, but I was laughing as I read this. I know if it happened to me I probably wouldn't be but when you talked about the legs kicking under the tree I about lost it. No one was hurt right?
I use the shatter proof bulbs, but I have some that are larger and can come apart. I fill them with candy Christmas Eve. When the kids come running down they love it.
Hope all goes well with the tree repairs tomorrow. (I'm a scrooge and don't even have mine pulled down from the attic yet.)
Through the years as my kids were growing up, I always used the ornaments they made in school. When they became adults and married, I tearfully packed up each childs ornaments and gave them to them for their own trees.
Most beautiful tree back then...*sniff sniff*
Well, I have a tiny tree that's a foot and a half high. I set it up in the spot where we'd put the other tree, on a little table, and plugged in its lights and told the kids that was going to be our tree this year.
There were some long little faces on my couch and then Sophia took her dinner plate and sat on the floor by the little tree, looking up at it, and said, "Thanks for fixing Christmas."
Of course tomorrow while they're at school I will have to go looking for a tree stand. But it's a funny joke for tonight. Val was mad about it and I kept pretending that my feelings were hurt that she didn't like the way I had fixed the tree problem.
I'm sorry that happened Texas_Rose...but it is a really cute, funny story to the rest of us. And that Sophia is as sweet as can be.
So sorry.... I've been there.
Last year our tree base was held together by duct tape, I kid you not.
This year we have'nt even put it up yet because of a certain 1 yr old who detroys everything. We are waiting until the week before Chritsmas, hopefully the shorter time frame will minimize damage.
I also bought shatter proof ornaments and no longer hang all the ones I had from my childhood and anything glass is'nt allowed in the house anyways.
I'm one bumped head away from padding the walls with bubble wrap.
Oh and I can totally remember climbing under the tree to look up through the lights, it was awesome!
I'm going to tell my almost 7 year old about this because he's been crawling under the tree this year. He's never done it before but the cats sleep under it and he's been pretending to be a cat.
Texas, that is the saddest, sweetest, funniest story I have read in a long time. Bless their little hearts. I am so glad no one was hurt.
I don't suppose Val would buy that it was a "Charlie Brown" tree would she? Good luck finding a stand.
When I read this I was thinking, "Man you should have gotten a picture of it!" Of course I know at the time you were just worried about them being okay, but what a picture that would have been.
If you only had the camera ready! How Tom Bergeron and America's funniest videos would have been on my list to see it first.
I am glad the children are ok but the mental visual I am getting is making me laugh.
My 2 yr old grandson decided he wanted to climb my Christmas tree last weekend. Thankfully, Grandma caught him before he could do damage to himself or my tree.
I would have grabbed the camera and Facebooked it before I pulled the tree off of them.
At least everyone is okay.
Texas write this down in a book somewhere it will be a great story for them and their kids someday I'm glad the kids are ok but I did have to laugh great story thanks for sharing
I'm a great deal older than your kids (and probably you too) but I crawl under the tree and look up every year. It is still as magical a feeling as it was so many decades ago.
Sorry they broke it... Tell them the secret is to keep very flat to the floor.

There are many elements to a campaign. Leadership is No. 1. Everything else is No. 2.
– Bertolt Brecht
Charlie Williams says my comments about the end of political phone calls with Election Day was premature.
"They're not over," he said with the same tone of disgust I have for these unwanted intrusions.
"There will be runoffs ... and then fall elections, so we've just trimmed the irritations for now through November," he said.
I asked him the question I always ask myself: "What candidate with an ounce of sense thinks we look favorably on him or her when we have to answer their recorded phone calls at home all day?"
"They've been deceived by media consultants," he said. "How else could you explain those terrible TV commercials that makes each one of them look like the star of a bad reality show?"
"So what do we do?" I asked.
Charlie paused and said, "Wait for a candidate who provides an advertisement that says this: 'I'm not going to call you at home and bother you, but if you want to elect someone who can help, here's my home number. You can call me.' "
"That's pretty good," I said.
"That's why it will never work," he added.
IT'S A SMALL THING: I found Mercury the other night. It's not a big planet and always hugs the horizon, but the In the Sky feature in The Chronicle said I could see it just after dusk in the west-northwest, and I did.
As the sky began to get dark, I first saw Jupiter, big and white, then Sirius, almost as bright. Then Capella, over in the constellation Auriga, began to glow. So I looked at my chart, figured out the proportions and shortly ... little Mercury showed up. I was so excited, I went inside and got my wife (Dancing With The Stars had a commercial) and took her out to see it.
She says when I retire, she will plan a trip to Arizona or New Mexico or someplace clear and dry, and we can look at stars.
SPEAKING OF THE FUTURE: My darling niece Lauren gets married in Athens on Saturday, and I am happy to share in this family event.
But as we made our plans for the trip (dog sitters are always the first challenge) my wife and I realized that we haven't been to a wedding in years.
Funerals are another matter. We have reached that age, I guess.
TODAY'S SERMON: A little girl became restless as the preacher's sermon dragged on and on. Finally, she leaned over to her mother and whispered, "Mommy, if we give him the money now, will he let us go?"

IMF, EU Unlikely to Call for Early Debt Restructuring
LONDON—The International Monetary Fund and European Union aren't likely to demand that Greece restructure its debt as a condition of financial aid packages because it would alienate investors for years and could spread default fears to other high-deficit countries in the euro zone.
"There is no question about restructuring of the debt," EU President Herman Van Rompuy said in Tokyo Wednesday.

species transport model simulating chemical reaction
2 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone,
I am using the species transport model to simulate a chemical reaction.
First, I use the non-reactive simulation and it is converged,
then I enable the species transport model to simulate the reactive flow, however
it iterates only once and is converged. I check the quantity of the product, and its order of magnitude is -10 or less. I have no idea how to set up any other parameters.
I have no idea whether I make myself understood. And I will appreciate a lot for your help.
If I understand your question correctly, you have to check the Solution => Monitor, Edit the residuals and reduce the convergence criteria or un-check it. your residuals are fall below to the set criteria!
hi asal,
thank you very much for your reply. i think the preoblem is : before any products produced, the iteration is converged. the reactive simulation only iterated once. the iteration shown in the above picture is due to the non-reactive simulation. so do i make myself understood? can you give my more advice?
thank you again
Do you check the monitor residuals which I mentioned before?!
When you want to simulate the reactive flow, some residuals will added to the residuals criteria list to control the convergence. for instance you had one more residuals for NOx. Since your residuals fall below to the predefined number in the residuals criteria, after one iteration, you run stop due to achieving converge solution.
What Richard encountered was what I encountered before. At the end I didn't look at residual when I am dealing with reactive species AFTER I have the flow field calculated. I set up other monitor and monitor it seperately, and then decide when to stop calculation.
Does this helps?
Hey, asal,
I appreciate your reply a lot. I did try to reduce the residuals, and it iterated more steps. However I didn't get the correct result. Since after it was converged, I check the quantity of the producta again and their order of magnitude were the same.
I think the problem might some of the inputs. Since I changed the rate exponent in the reaction dialog box, the result is acceptable. I don't how to input some of the parameters: the rate exponent and temperature exponent.
It might be helpful that I write the reactions:
NiFe2O4 ----> NiO + 2 FeO +1/2 O2
NiO + 2 FeO + H2O ----> NiFe2O4 + H2
They are wall surface reactions
Thank you for your help. I didn't get you. What other monitors did you set?
Hey, asal,
I am sure the problem is the rate exponent. Since I tried different rate exponents and got different results.
The rate exponent of NiFe2O4 is 1 and if I change it, no result.
I am not sure what are the rate exponents of NiO, FeO and H2O, but not stoichimetric coeeficient. I don't know how to calculate them. Do you?
I set up volume monitor for the reactive species. I still let the residual to be monitored but uncheck the convergence ctiretia. So I manually stop the calculation when the volume monitor of the species has reached steady value.
Currently I still do this manually, I couldn't find a way to make it a "convergence criteria" to stop iteration like the residue.
Maybe you can try.
