I've skipped this because I wanted to finish the game, you can do it. First task is Heavy, man, in which after you're done you'll get a new weapon, there are more tasks after too.4. Keep on going and you'll find the white building titled '868 Brookvale Heights'5. Head on inside and go right, then go up the stairs, you'll have completed the task.6. Still upstairs, go left and examine the note in blue writing. I'm not going to tell what it says, you'll find out later.

[quote]Only grab things that are essential. Do NOT grab the worthless stuff, since yeah, it's worthless.You should still grab worthless items since there is an achievement for finding 25 miscellaneous items.
You're right.At the same time it takes up space, so just use it and discard it.But that's in my opinion.This Guide is far from over, it's not perfect either.Thanks for the tip.
great guide well done
For those that are constantly keeping up with this I'll have to take a few hours off.The main reason because my internet connection in near failing, so until then...Happy Hunting.
Great, just great.My saved game isn't there anymore. Heh, even when I was logged in! This has happened three times now, so now everything is now at FULL STOP.Am I frustrated? Naw. Now I can look toward my guide to help me...again. So yeah people, I'm going to have to start all over again, which is kinda disappointing.More updates will follow soon.
Isamoan what is possible is if you deleted your history it may have deleted the cookies for this game which would be a problem. This problem happened to me twice which was really annoying.
This happened to me as well. I finished the game but when I decided to go back, the savegame just vanished so I couldn't earn more achievements. It sux though.
When I'm playing this, i feel like i'm playing Fallout 3, InFamous, and Nazi Zombies allllll at the same time. hmm.What a combo!
Back to business.Task 10: Break Out - Find Bethany/Matt in Union Park1. After talking with Barry go to your left, there should be a door on the ground that leads to the sewers, go down.2. Now in the sewers, go left and go through the red door.3. Go to the next red door to the left.4. Since now you're in the hallway with the nasty bricks, keep on going left. Go up the ladder.5. Now you're on the surface, kill anyone/anything that's in your way. You can search the HERC tents for weapons. And go all the way left until you've exited the area.6. When you've reached the next area, you should see a bunch of body bags when you go left. Go to the first building/tent.7. Talk to your lover/partner.8. Get the keys on the wall.9. Now it's time to get the hell out of dodge. Or in simpler terms, get out the way you came in.Task 11: Seabound - Find a boat to escape1. By now you should've gotten back to the safehouse where Barry was.2. Talk to Barry.3. Get out of the safehouse and go right.4. In the next area keep on going right until you reach the end of the way, there should be the map thingy.5. Go to the Docks.6. The first area you're in you go all the way right.7. In the next area it the first thing you should see is the wooden boards on the building. Keep on truckin right until you see the red safehouse door.8. Go inside and talk to Jack.9. Talk to jack again, he should have a task.Side Task: Military Base - Enter the base1. Go out of the safehouse, and go all the way right until you meet the map thingy.2. Go to Waterside.3. You can go right and go into the Church safehouse, great place to save.4. If you don't go in the safehouse keep on heading on to the right.5. The next area should start with the building that says Private Parking. Go right, the base entrance should be there.6. When you reach the base you can either go left or right. I suggest that you go left, to the first building, it has the key to the Weps Cage.7. So after searching all the buildings get out of the base and head back to Jack and the other survivors.8. Talk to Jack and complete the task.Task 12: Tear It Down - Go to the wall1. Get out of the safehouse and go all the way right. When I say that I mean go ALLLL the way right until you reach Jack and the wall.2. Go through the wall and go go Union Island.3. HAUL *** AND GET OUT OF THERE.4. When you reach Jack go right and get in the boat.5. Sit back and relax.This concludes the game. I might get the survival kit soon, so keep watch for that.So ya, this is just a rough draft of this stuff, I'm going to haul some major *** to re-do everything.Until then, have a nice day!That, and you can thank me.

Spiced Chicken Breasts with Dried Apricots
A paste made of ground sesame seeds, almonds, cumin, coriander, and oregano gives both the chicken and the apricots delicious flavor.
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
- 3/4 cup dried apricots
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/3 cup sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- Salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 bone-in chicken breasts (about 2 1/4 pounds in all)
How to make this recipe
Heat the oven to 425°. In a small saucepan, combine the apricots and water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and then simmer, partially covered, for 10 minutes. Set aside.
Toast the almonds and sesame seeds in the oven until just beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer 1/3 cup of the almonds and 1/4 cup of the sesame seeds to a blender; pulverize with the cumin, coriander, paprika, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Put the mixture in a small bowl; stir in the oil and lemon juice to make a paste. Stir half of the paste into the apricots and water.
Put the chicken breasts in a small roasting pan, skin-side up, and coat with the remaining paste. Pour the apricot mixture around the chicken. Cook in the lower third of the oven until done, 20 to 25 minutes. If the chicken seems to be browning too quickly, cover the pan with aluminum foil the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Transfer the chicken to a plate. Spoon the fat from the pan. Serve the chicken topped with the apricots and any pan juices. Sprinkle the remaining almonds and sesame seeds over all.
Serve With
Steamed rice is an ideal accompaniment. So are roasted potatoes cooked alongside the chicken in a separate pan.
Suggested Pairing
A red or white wine with low tannin and plenty of fruit flavor will match the sweet, tangy apricots. For a red, a Pinot Noir from Oregon would be a good choice; for a white, a Pinot Blanc from Alsace in France.

Chalk one up for—er, well—squeak one up on a whiteboard—for visual learning. I mean, we all have eyes and of course learn by looking through them. In that way, we're all visual learners. But you may have your preferences, and some prefer headphones. In any case, I really love this 'illustrative storytelling' technique. If you're any kind of a doodler when you listen to a lecture, you might relate. And if you've ever listened to a TED talk, perhaps you've already run across Sir Ken Robinson's little lecture—but I bet you've never seen it quite like you'll experience with this cool tool from RSA (find it at thersa.org with their apt tagline "21st century enlightenment"). I'm just saying—you'll find yourself listening to the entire lecture and wanting more! This is absolutely cool. Try it for yourself!

But yeah, given how many clones there are, and how many are dead, Accelerator HAD to be killing more than one per day. I think some people have forgotten that the events of the past few episodes have all occurred in the space of a single day.

Normally it seems like he's just been using a few basic powerful tricks up to this point because everyone who has challenged him lost easily to that. For this reason, I think this also partially explains why Accelerator is powerful, but not that powerful. He could be super strong, but he doesn't need to be in order to maintain his dominance. Fighting the sisters was supposed to probably make him need to come up with more powerful techniques in order to motivate him to be level 6 (in what it was trying to attempt and how it tried to do it), but I feel like Touma did a better job. After all, they said that the experiments would be "somewhat" difficult at the end in order to help him be a level 6, so it makes sense that since fighting Touma is more than somewhat difficult this is providing better training than all of those fights were. I find it interesting that Touma's weakness here makes him so strong. Not having an ability means that Accelerator can't rely on his usual tricks to win. (I'm not saying he couldn't come up with something amazing because he obviously did at the end of the episode with the plasma, but he hasn't needed to do it) so he levelled up. The whole reason Accelerator recognizes Touma is because he pushed his limits to make him use his high-intelligence in order to come up with a super-powerful plasma attack. I also want to point out that Accelerator calculated out Mikoto's manipulation of the iron sand in episode 6 almost instantaneously via the use of EM field, which already shows that he is very intelligent. As to the cliffhanger, the cliffhanger was well done. I personally like cliffhangers. I mean: I don't like waiting a week for the next episode, but this was done so well that I can't actually complain. Also this episode thread seems to be a hot thread. I somewhat expected this, but not to this extent. OH YEAH: I FORGOT! Good point, but incomplete. Accelerator did praise Touma. However, he also praised the MISAKA clones a few episodes ago when he called them silent dolls who purposefully carry out their mission (however he phrased it). This was him pointing out that he did think that they were impressive in a sense. I still argue he's too arrogant. (Granted he's never lost... but...) Edit: just read the flame war (this should be TV tropes definition of one maybe?)... thinking to myself... ouch... Anyway, comprehensive episode review will be up within 6 hours... to hopefully cure this thread... slightly... Last edited by dniv; 2013-07-23 at 23:55. |

This season reminded me why I disliked Accelerator.
He is one of the biggest ass holes that's for sure. Punch him some more Touma! Is there actually any other way to beat him without Touma's arm? His powers are just too much. He can literally do whatever he wants.

Most attacks do, but he can still fall victim to mind games, some types of Esper powers ( there nothing saying he could fall victim to a suggestion spell to turn off his power), clever spells, really exotic attack forms, and poison/sickness he doesn't realise are threats till its too late ( green poison gas wouldn't work, but a poisoned plate of rice that wrecks his calculation ability would.).
Course with Accelerator your only likely to get one shot at him, he's smart and merciless, but there are exploitable holes in his defences, through few you can take advantage of in a straight up fight. |

There's a thread for this. But there are in-series ways to beat Accelerator (spoilers below).

A free email they send me by way of advertising. The final section re Pakistan is particularly worrying: The Many Faces of Al Qaeda By Peter Zeihan With all the talk about al Qaeda "leaders," al Qaeda "factions" and militants with "links" to al Qaeda, it is useful to take a step back and clarify precisely what al Qaeda actually is. Al Qaeda is a small core group of people who share strategic and operational characteristics that set them apart from all other militants -- Islamist or otherwise -- the world over. All signs indicate this group is no longer functional and cannot be replicated. Whether or not Osama bin Laden is still alive, al Qaeda as it once was is dead. Strategically, these men envisioned a world in which the caliphate would rise anew as a consequence of events they would set into motion. The chief obstacle to this goal was not the United States but the panoply of secular, corrupt governments of the Middle East. Al Qaeda knew its limited numbers precluded it from defeating these governments, so it sought to provoke the Muslim masses into overthrowing them. Al Qaeda also knew it lacked the strength to do this provoking by itself so it sought to trick someone more powerful into doing it. By al Qaeda's logic, an attack of sufficient force against the Americans would lure the United States to slam sideways into the Middle East on a mission of revenge, leading to direct and deep U.S. collaboration with those same secular, corrupt local governments. Al Qaeda's hope was that such collaboration with the Americans would lead to outrage -- and outrage would lead to revolution. Note that the 9/11 attacks were not al Qaeda's first attempt to light this flame. The 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings and the 2000 USS Cole bombing were also the work of this same al Qaeda cell, but the attacks lacked the strength to trigger what al Qaeda thought of as a sufficient U.S. response. The Real Difference But al Qaeda is hardly the first militant group to think big. What really set al Qaeda apart was its second characteristic -- its ability to evade detection. That ability was part and parcel of the way in which al Qaeda formed. Al Qaeda's roots are not merely within the various militant groups of the Arab Middle East but deep within the geopolitical struggles of the Cold War. Many of the mujahideen who relocated to Afghanistan to resist the Soviet invasion found themselves recruited and funded by Saudi intelligence, equipped and tasked by U.S. intelligence and managed and organized by Pakistani intelligence. This exposure not only leveraged the Afghan resistance's paramilitary capabilities but also gave the mujahideen a deep appreciation for, and understanding of, the strengths and weaknesses of the U.S. and Soviet intelligence systems. When the Cold War ended, some of those mujahideen reconstituted their efforts into what came to be known as al Qaeda, and those deep understandings became part of the organization's bedrock. Such knowledge enables al Qaeda to operate beneath the radar of nearly all intelligence agencies. It knows how those agencies collect and analyze intelligence, where the blind spots are and, most important, how long it takes for an agency to turn raw information into actionable intelligence. This characteristic is al Qaeda's greatest asset. Al Qaeda's standards of operation assume that intelligence agencies are always waiting and watching, and only al Qaeda's understanding of those operations keeps the "base" from being busted. Operational security -- not operational success -- is al Qaeda's paramount concern; its attacks are meticulously planned, fantastic in scope and sacrificed in a heartbeat if the leadership suspects a breach in security. This makes al Qaeda nearly impossible to track. It also means that al Qaeda, by necessity, is a very small, close-knit group. The organization's core -- or the apex leadership, as we often call it -- consists of little more than Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and a double handful of trusted, heavily vetted relationships stretching back more than a decade. Disposable operatives with minimal training can be picked up for specific missions, but these people cannot do anything very complex (such as infiltrate a foreign country and hijack a civilian airliner). Replacement of lost assets within this small group is negligible due to security concerns. Ultimately, the same security protocols that empowered al Qaeda to be a player of strategic scope are what removed al Qaeda from the chessboard. Once the CIA and its affiliated allies named al Qaeda public enemy No. 1, al Qaeda's security instincts became its greatest liability. The rapid U.S. invasion of Afghanistan caught al Qaeda off guard -- the group had assumed it would have months of U.S. pre-mission staging before the invasion, a lesson it learned from watching the first Gulf War. The quick U.S. response meant al Qaeda was forced to go into hiding before it had fully secured redundant communication, funding and travel routes. Intelligence agency efforts to penetrate al Qaeda forced the group to constrict information flow, limit financial transfers, reduce recruiting and abandon operations. Once the United States succeeded in co-opting Saudi assistance against al Qaeda in 2003 -- something brought about both by a U.S. presence in Iraq and al Qaeda's own efforts to destabilize its ideological homeland -- al Qaeda's star stopped falling and started plummeting. Al Qaeda has not only failed in its attempts to trigger region-wide uprisings against the Middle East's secular governments, it has also lost the ability to launch strategically meaningful attacks -- that is, attacks resulting in policy shifts by its targets. Al Qaeda can operate to a certain degree in regions where it has allies, many of whom flowed through its training camps in the 1990s, but the ability of the group that planned the 9/11 attacks to operate beyond the Middle East and South Asia seems to have disappeared. Attrition after years of confrontation with the Americans, coupled with self-imposed isolation, has rendered al Qaeda useless as a strategic actor. Not only is its ability to provide command and control nonexistent, but its self-enforced invisibility and inactivity have undermined its credibility. Furthermore, al Qaeda has left no one truly capable of taking up its mantle. The training camps in the 1990s processed hundreds of would-be jihadists, but the quality of that training for the rank and file has been exaggerated. Most of it was a combination of poor conventional combat training and ideological indoctrination. Hence, most "veterans" of those camps have neither access to the core al Qaeda leadership nor the operational security or tactical training that would allow them to reconstitute a new elite core. They are no more members of the real "al Qaeda" than today's skinheads are members of the real Nazi party. By the only criterion that matters -- successful attacks -- al Qaeda has slipped from readjusting global priorities (9/11) to contributing to the change in government of a middling U.S. ally (the March 2003 Spain attacks) to affecting nothing (the 2005 London bombings). No attacks since can be meaningfully linked to al Qaeda's control, or even its specific foreknown blessing. Al Qaeda had hoped for a conflagration of outrage that would sweep away the Middle East's political order; it only managed to raise a few sparks here and there, and now it is a prisoner of its own security. Yet, public discussion of all things "al Qaeda," far from fading, has reached a fever pitch. But this talk -- all of it -- is about a fundamentally different beast. Enter Al Qaeda the Franchise It all started with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who put himself forward as the leader of the Iraqi node of al Qaeda in 2004. While one can argue that al-Zarqawi might have been through an al Qaeda training camp or shared many of bin Laden's ideological goals, no one seriously asserts he had the training, vetting or face time with bin Laden to qualify as an inner member of the al Qaeda leadership. He was a local leader of a local militant group who claimed an association with al Qaeda as a matter of establishing local gravitas and international credibility. Other groups, such as Southeast Asia's Jemaah Islamiyah, had associations with al Qaeda long before al-Zarqawi, but al-Zarqawi was the first to claim the name "al Qaeda" as his own. For al Qaeda, prevented by its security concerns from engaging in its own attacks, repudiating al-Zarqawi would make the "base" come across as both impotent and out of touch. Accepting "association" with al-Zarqawi was the obvious choice, and bin Laden went so far as to issue an audio communique anointing al-Zarqawi as al Qaeda's point man in Iraq. Others have also embraced the al-Zarqawi/al Qaeda association, as dubious as it was. Al Qaeda's operational security protocols -- and its ongoing presence just beyond the United States' reach in northwestern Pakistan -- meant that destroying al Qaeda (the real al Qaeda) was at best a difficult prospect. But al-Zarqawi was local and active and clearly valued launching attacks over maintaining hermetically sealed security. Al-Zarqawi could be brought down. And just as al-Zarqawi's "association" with al Qaeda increased his street cred with the Arab world, that "association" also increased his value to the U.S. military as a target. Taking down an "al Qaeda-linked terrorist" was much better for purposes of public relations and funding than taking down any random militant. The media, of course, stand ready to help; reporting on a militant with direct connections to bin Laden is sexy -- even if that connection was only catching a glimpse of Big "O" walking by during breakfast. The result has been the formation of an odd iron triangle among an al Qaeda desperate for relevance, local jihadists seeking a fast track to importance and Western intelligence and law enforcement seeking credibility and funding. In the common lexicon, al Qaeda is no longer that core of highly trained and motivated individuals who tried to change the world by bringing down the World Trade Center, but a do-it-yourself jihadist franchise that almost anyone can join. Some nodes are copycats who look to the real al Qaeda for inspiration; others are existing militant groups -- such as Algeria's Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, now called the al Qaeda Organization for the Countries of the Arab Maghreb -- that can identify with their ideological brethren. But few to none have any real connections to al Qaeda. Violence is certain to continue, but the lack of meaningful attacks in the West in general and the United States in particular suggests al Qaeda's degraded capacity and the West's improved security have minimized the chances of a geopolitically significant attack for the next several years. This does not mean would-be "al Qaeda" groups are not dangerous, or that the "war on terror" is anywhere near over. While some of the would-be al Qaeda groups almost seem comical, others are competent militants in their own right -- with al-Zarqawi perhaps being the most lethal example. Their numbers are also growing. The ongoing war in Iraq has provided potential militants across the Islamic world with the motive to do something and the opportunity to gain some serious on-the-job training. Just as Soviet operations in Afghanistan created a training ground for a generation of Middle Eastern militants in the 1980s and 1990s, the Iraq war is in part a crucible for the next generation of Arab militants. Add in al Qaeda's offer of open association and we will be hearing from dozens of "al Qaedas" in the years to come. Luckily, links between these new groups and their erstwhile sponsor are limited mostly to rhetoric. There might be a few thousand people out there claiming to be al Qaeda members, but the real al Qaeda does not exercise any control over them. They are not coordinated in their operations or even working toward a common goal. And while many of these new al Qaedas might be competent militant groups, they lack the combination of strategic vision and obsession with security that ultimately allowed the original al Qaeda to move mountains. Top it off with terminology buy-in from Western intelligence, law enforcement and the media and the result is a war literally without end; the definition of al Qaeda is stretched by nearly any player to fit nearly any political need. The United States is now waging a war against jihadism as a phenomenon, rather than against any specific transnational jihadist movement. Back to Square One? The political situation in Pakistan has long imposed an unstable stasis on what many feel should have been the real focus of the war on terror all along. Since escaping from Afghanistan in 2001, the true al Qaeda has spent most of its time taking refuge in northwestern Pakistan, where a mix of political complications and ethnic and tribal allegiances have allowed it to stay out of harm's way. The United States has been aware of al Qaeda's presence there, but ultimately has not attacked for three reasons. First, al Qaeda's internal security protocols forced the organization to isolate itself. During a time when the United States had a great many fish to fry, al Qaeda seemed to have put itself into lockdown; it was issuing videos, not starting wars like Hezbollah or reconstituting like the Taliban. Second, while U.S. intelligence knows the region in which al Qaeda resides, it has never gotten enough detail to allow for airstrikes to take care of business. Such not-quite-there intelligence has always been just diffuse enough to necessitate boots on the ground -- and raise the specter of a disastrously botched and politically problematic military operation. Which brings us to the third and, in many ways, most important reason for leaving al Qaeda alone. The United States felt it could not risk an assault for fear of political fallout. Ultimately, the United States needs Pakistani cooperation to wage war in Afghanistan -- after all, Pakistan has the only easily traversable land border with the landlocked country -- and support for radical Islam runs deep in both Pakistani society and government. So, yes, U.S. attacks against militant sites located on Pakistani soil happen all the time, but they are small pinprick operations. Any large attack could not be disavowed and, therefore, could result in the fall of the very Pakistani government that makes the hotter parts of the war on terror possible. Back in 2005, the United States believed it had credible intelligence about a planned meeting of the core al Qaeda leadership in northwestern Pakistan. A strike force of several hundred to several thousand was assembled in order to punch through the Pakistani tribes hiding and shielding bin Laden and his allies, but the strike was ultimately abandoned because then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld felt the operation could not be kept quiet. It is one thing when Pakistanis think there are a few Americans running over the border to do something tactical. It is quite another when Pakistanis know that several thousand Americans with heavy air support are surging across to do something strategic. The U.S. might have been able to take out its target, but probably not without losing a critical ally. Details of this attack plan were leaked July 8 to The New York Times. For us at Stratfor, news of the plans was nothing new. It made perfect sense that this plan, and likely dozens of others like it, were at various times in the works stretching back as far as 2003 (and we have noted such on numerous occasions). What caught our attention was the timing of The New York Times article. The United States has been eyeing northwestern Pakistan for years. Why draw attention to that fact now? The United States' core fear in 2005 was that the Pakistani government would destabilize. Well, in 2007, the Pakistani government is horrendously unstable. On July 10, Islamabad launched a multi-hour raid replete with Branch Davidian overtones against the Red Mosque complex and a gathering of radical (some would say mentally unhinged) Islamists challenging the government's writ. Be worried when the government of an Islamic republic feels it must take such action. Be doubly worried when the government taking the action already seems to be in its death throes. Previous efforts by Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf to strengthen his political grip on the country by firing the chief justice rebounded on him so severely that he cannot even depend upon his oldest allies. Various political, military and cultural power centers are sniping at the president, making their own independent and often contradictory demands. There are also hints that Musharraf's faculties are beginning to crack. The government -- as well as the president -- is now teetering on the edge of oblivion, facing an unsavory menu of crushing compromise with one force or another to stay in power in name, and risking the turbulent waters of emergency rule over an increasingly hostile population. If the threat of a government fall was the only thing holding Washington back in 2005, and now that the fall is imminent through no action of the United States, what does Washington have to gain from restraining itself any further? This is more than a rhetorical question. The relative inactivity of al Qaeda these past six years, as well as the political situation in Pakistan, has imposed a shaky equilibrium on the issue. Al Qaeda's security protocols curtail al Qaeda's threat level, and that has allowed the United States to shelve the issue for another day. Meanwhile, the instability of Musharraf's government limits the United States' ability to pressure Islamabad over the issue of al Qaeda. Consequently, al Qaeda has been more or less hiding in plain sight. Alter any aspect of this scenario -- in this case, drastically increase the tottering of the Musharraf government -- and the "stability" of the other pieces immediately breaks and the United States is forced to surge assets into Pakistan. Washington has to assume that an al Qaeda anywhere but Pakistan is an al Qaeda that will act with less conservatism. By the American logic, al Qaeda assets in Saudi Arabia, long drilled that security is paramount, would naturally doubt that a telegram from bin Laden ordering a new attack is genuine -- but they would certainly believe bin Laden himself should he show up at their door. By al Qaeda's logic, Musharraf's fall would force al Qaeda to relocate from Pakistan because the group would have to assume that the Americans would be coming. Which means the odd stasis in the war on terror these past six years could be about to loosen up, and a front that has proven oddly cold might be about to catch fire.
It's like the Red Mosque never happened. After Musharraf said "End it" the Commanders approached the task with some zeal. There are reports that Musharraf was being requested by the Army to end it before he finally did. The reaction to this , in this land beset and under seige by radicals, with A-Q dangerously close to dominance etc etc? The Pakistan stock exchange jumped to a record high , with investor confidence in Musharraf and Pakistan considerably enchanced, and the radicals back in their box having judged the wind very very badly indeed. So it begs the question. Is the reported strength and influence of Al_Q , simply a neocon wet dream?
Not with you PTP. The article says: Well, in 2007, the Pakistani government is horrendously unstable. On July 10, Islamabad launched a multi-hour raid replete with Branch Davidian overtones against the Red Mosque complex and a gathering of radical (some would say mentally unhinged) Islamists challenging the government's writ. Be worried when the government of an Islamic republic feels it must take such action. Be doubly worried when the government taking the action already seems to be in its death throes.
Did the writer actually bother researching who the Red Mosque was owned by , and how much influence they were supposed to exert? He goes straight to a Waco comparison, to convey the impression Musharraf is another Reno. The Pakistan stock exchange hit a record high on the news. Does that sound like the money in Pakistan thinks Musharraf is in dire straits?
FFS, why so much manpower when a dozen or more Predators could have had a field day? Film footage (like CCTV in 21/7 evidence) from the Predators and/or supporting GlobalHawks would have provided some effective counter against the inevitable "wedding party massacre" media response.
There's nothing quite like an opportunity to crush resistance pour encourager les autres as rulers from Cyrus the Great onwards (and before, if written testament was left) will testify. The more the name "Al Qaeda" is invoked, the more powerful it becomes. We need to recognise the threat for what it is, a nasty but limited one (shame the US have decided it useful on occasion to overplay it).
This is the group headed by a man who once built a large bunker within a couple kilometers of a major Soviet base an act which the locals found bewilderingly stupid. He then failed to hold it when inevitably attacked by the Russians. This was his only contact with them and he fainted during it. His main role in the Afghan-Soviet war was entirely peripheral. He did play a significant role as a Saudi money man and was instrumental in training the militarily ineffective Arab Afghans. He was more active in the Afghan Civil war where he managed to get a large number of his men massacred. He is a competent civil engineer and able public speaker. The second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri,is instantly recognizable as a religious fanatic by the prayer bump on his forehead. He does have the distinction of being unable to operate in his homeland under the scrutiny of Egyptian intelligence who successfully rolled up his networks. Their old links to Saudi and Pakistan intelligence may well explain why they remain at large unhindered; mastery in covert operations does not. The reality may be even more mundane. For the Pakistani military Bin Laden has been a golden goose. His presence allows them to squeeze vast amounts of aid out of DC while they've been busily rebuilding the Taliban. Islamabad has proved deft at coughing up a mid level AQ lieutenant whenever the gravy train shows signs of running dry.
Deadly attack on Pakistani troops http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/6898680.stm The Taliban are back to their monkey tricks.
Musharraf may have come to the realization after the recent assasination attempt that these fanatics cannot be placated by anything short of capitulation - a non-starter for the good General. Pakistani troops will be moving into the the NWF province in force to meet this threat head on.
Yes PTP, things are just going swimmingly for Mush now: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/6899367.stm
And attacks by Taliban irregulars on Pakistani troops are going to endear them to the the rest of Pakistani Armed Forces are they? If anything, this may well galvanise Pakistan from a grass roots level to start really doing something about radical islamists in a terminal fashion. Who knows, Musharraf may well move against elements of the ISI and others complicit in support for the radicals, knowing he has the full support of the Army. Remember how UK civpop felt about Northern Ireland after Warrenpoint? Continued killing of PAF by insurgents could have the effect of the population demanding the problem is dealt with in the harshest terms.
Is the Pakistani army happy? - Yes Is the opposition weak and divided? - Yes Where the Mullahs able to shut down the country? - No Are food prices stable? - Yes So is Musharraf safe in the short term ? - Yes The FATA and NWFP is and will always be horrendous areas - Will Musharraf send forces in? Most likely but at the same time will he try political dialogue with the tribes. But wait - if the tribes in Wazirstan break their truce with the Musharraf that means that 'forces' would be diverted from Afghanistan! Makes you wonder, eh?

The new chair of the American Conservative Union, Al Cardenas, today distanced his organization from GOProud, telling FrumForum in an exclusive interview that its going to be difficult to continue the relationship with the gay conservative organization.
The ACU, which annually organizes the Conservative Political Action Conference, has faced some criticism for including GOProud as a co-sponsor for the second year in a row. Socially conservative organizations have denounced the move, and the Heritage Foundation claimed that GOProuds inclusion was part of their decision to opt-out.
Cardenas, who was selected yesterday to replace outgoing chairman David Keene, told FrumForum that he disapproved of GOProuds response to the furor.
I have been disappointed with their website and their quotes in the media, taunting organizations that are respected in our movement and part of our movement, and thats not acceptable. And that puts them in a difficult light in terms of how I view things, said Cardenas.
GOProud had asserted that Cleta Mitchell, the chairman of the ACU Foundation, was pushing conservative groups and individuals to boycott CPAC because of GOProuds inclusion. Chris Barron, the chairman of GOProud, recently said in an interview that Mitchell was a nasty bigot.
Its going to be difficult to continue the relationship [with GOProud] because of their behavior and attitude, Cardenas told FrumForum.
Asked for GOProuds response, the groups chairman apologized for his comments about Cleta Mitchell.
For the past six months, we have watched as unfair and untrue attacks have been leveled against our organization, our allies, our friends and sometimes even their families. Everyone has their breaking point and clearly in my interview with Metro Weekly I had reached mine. I shouldnt have used the language that I did to describe Cleta Mitchell and for that I apologize, said Chris Barron.
Asked about whether he values a big tent approach to conservatism, Cardenas said that he did but that his vision applied principally to reaching out to different minorities and ethnic groups.
There are not enough African-Americans, Hispanics and other minorities here. That diversity is critical you dont need to change your value system to attract more diversity into the movement [but] Im not going to for the sake of being inclusive change the principles that have made the movement what it is, said Cardenas.
David [Keene] invited these folks [GOProud] in an effort to be inclusive Having friends of ours leaving presents difficulties to me, he said. Theres always going to be some tension, [but] there should never be any tension between time-tested values.
Asked if someone who supported gay marriage could be a conservative, Cardenas replied, Not a Ronald Reagan conservative I will say this: we adopted a resolution unanimously at ACU advocating traditional marriage between a man and a woman, so that answers how we feel on the issue.
Cardenas says that his priorities as the new ACU chairman will be focused on making sure that our true friends never leave the table.
Cleta Mitchells position as ACU Foundation chairman also appears to be safe. The new chairman, who has the authority to appoint a new one should he want to, told FrumForum that he has no intentions [regarding Mitchell] except to keep her where she is.
If your choice is the Heritage Foundation or GOProud, it should be a very easy one.
Wondering if Cardenas will invite his good friend Charlie Crist to speak at the next CPAC.
Cardenas gets it.
"For the past six months, we have watched as unfair and untrue attacks have been leveled against our organization, our allies, our friends and sometimes even their families. Everyone has their breaking point and clearly in my interview with Metro Weekly I had reached mine."
Que the diva.
Ronald Reagan: "Society has always regarded marital love as a sacred expression of the bond between a man and a woman. (...) We will resist the efforts of some to obtain government endorsement of homosexuality."
Balkanization of the conservative movement helps...how?
Lots of big egos that demand to be stroked I'm thinkin'...
Blah, blah, blah ......
Typical leftist infiltrator pretending to be a conservative and hoping to spark a "paradigm shift" in the conservative movement. In other words, trying to co-opt the movement and make it much less conservative.
I hope so.

A wee bit late. Give me a few years to sort them out.
Homosexual movement can NEVER be conservative unless they put themselves back into the closet and quit trying to condition kids into thinking their behavior is normal. It goes against Natural Law Theory which presupposes a Supreme Being and is the basis of common sense.
By endorsing the behavior, they say the Bible is wrong. What is conservative about rewriting the Bible to make behaviors that have always been dysfunctional and demeaning and damaging to the body a good?
It is cultural Marxism to destroy the family and Christianity. Marxist ideology is not compatible with our Constitution.
They are fools to accept the pavlovian conditioning of the constant media promotion and lies....ya...homosexuality is healthy (puke)...homosexuality is life affirming (puke).... Ya all you are doing is feeding your children cognitive dissonance and creating little atheist hedonists, because if there is no sexual morality (which is what the homosexual agenda wants) then you get every type of abnormal disgusting behavior and there is no reason to say that is "wrong" either.
They should heed the sane words of a non-Marxist: Erotic paradise is an illusion when you untie the bows of restraint; Shattered egos, shattered bodies , and shattered minds...
This is what happens when we take reason and logic out of our government and legal system. You get Alice in Wonderland world....but it will look like the homosexual Weimar Republic pretty soon and we will also be begging for a Hitler.
He can't keep that in the closet.
Society has always regarded marital love as a sacred expression of the bond between a man and a woman. It is the means by which families are created and society itself is extended into the future. In the Judeo-Christian tradition it is the means by which husband and wife participate with God in the creation of a new human life. It is for these reasons, among others, that our society has always sought to protect this unique relationship. In part the erosion of these values has given way to a celebration of forms of expression most reject. We will resist the efforts of some to obtain government endorsement of homosexuality.
--Ronald Reagan, July 12, 1984.
Was Cardenas against the conservative Rubio?
That's what got the homosexuals infil(thy)trating CPAC.
Attract Conservatives, and who cares what the nationality is.
Pandering to the "diversity" angle is ridiculous.
You gotta know it's seeking the illegal alien insurgent criminal colonist's votes.
Instead of doing that, fix the broken fraudulent voting system.
They keep saying the same thing about the teaparties, and all the ones I've been to the majority of them were attended by those not of the white persuasion far more represented than their percentage in the population.
Sorry about the sentence structure, I'm in a late time zone.
Yup, he was.
For Crist.
Kinda like Christie was for the RINO running against the tea party candidate O'Donnell.
A little LATE for that, don't you think, Al?
Second Bruce: New-Bruce, are you a Poofter?
Fourth Bruce: Are you a Poofter?
Michael: No!
Fourth Bruce: No. Right, I just want to remind you of the faculty rules: Rule One!
Everybruce: No Poofters!
Fourth Bruce: Rule Two, no member of the faculty is to maltreat the Abbos in any way at all — if theres anybody watching. Rule Three?
Everybruce: No Poofters!
Fourth Bruce: Rule Four, now this term, I dont want to catch anybody not drinking. Rule Five,
Everybruce: No Poofters!
Fourth Bruce: Rule Six, there is no Rule Six. Rule Seven,
Everybruce: No Poofters!
Fourth Bruce: Right, that concludes the readin of the rules, Bruce.
"Balkanization of the conservative movement helps...how?"
A shakeup is desperately needed. Seems like the probability that we would get better leadership is greater than zero.
>> that its going to be difficult to continue the relationship with the gay conservative organization.
That's becoming obvious. I think the homosexual agenda peeked prior to the convention.
Homosexual Conservatives [sic] should embrace their manhood and focus on the horizon instead of the curtains.
It all sounds pretty good, but this is the guy who supported Charlie Crist over Mario Rubio. That was a real head shaker and it will be tough to live down. It will be interesting to see how the next year or so plays out with CPAC.
A conservative embraces ALL of Natural Law, and its resulting principles from private property and small government to the right to life, and everything in between. Anything less is a false "conservatism," caffeteria style, which = CINO.
But it's the mission of the CINOs to marginalize, undermine, demoralize, and defeat conservatives by infiltrating and taking over the latter's turf - CPAC, in this case. And the first thing they (GOProud, in this case) always do is to take over the name and definition of conservative/conservatism.
I shouldnt have used the language that I did to describe Cleta Mitchell and for that I apologize, said Chris Barron.
. . .
It's cool, Chris. It's good that you let the mask slip.
Just curious...How much is enough?
"A conservative is not simply a "social conservative" or a "fiscal conservative." "
If you are just a 'fiscal conservative,' you are a Libertarian, and so should label yourself.
The only time Libertarians lurch into a somewhat social conservative place is when the few consistent ones recognize the unborn as human beings and defend their right to life.
And they are isolationist in their foreign policy.
there is nothing conservative or normal about people running around telling others what turns them on what they prefer sexually and then saying they should have civil rights based on it while forcing others t accept their agenda and lifestyle.
This is good news and if the old log cabins now goproud are there then every speaker needs to stand up and say we want normal marriage, you do not get anything based on sexual preference, we do not want to know what turns you on etc.
Quick point but why is the likes of Trump Ron paul there?
Paul is libertarian and Trump at the election voted for this marixst.
If CPAC now starts talking about conservative social issues and not run away from them then I will be looking at the group again and back them but as of now they;'re dead to me
nail on head and should be repeated many times, thank you great post.
Concervatism is social and fiscal, we don't pick one or two and say well I'm liberal on that but conservative on that so I'm conservative.
We are talking about natural law, nature intended what it intended and now because these people like getting turned on in a certain way they now want laws if they were like what nature intended or God in many cases intended.
It's high time the likes of Hannity who call themselves conservative then got some balls and spoke about conservative values instead of being a coward and talking either debt or health care.
why are libertarians there anyway?
Those people are socially liberal, hell they're more liberal than most Dems I know.
It's time for the Ron Pauls of this country to have their own forum instead of coming to a so called conservative one.
Thanks for the ping, onyx. I'm glad that this situation is finally out in the open and being addressed.
I think the libertarians realize that they are such a marginal group that the only way they can have any impact is to impose themselves on conservatives.
They do this by focusing solely on fiscal issues and then try to spring their leftist social agenda when nobody is looking.
The irony is that when you take a good look at their fiscal views, those are very leftist as well. They DO NOT believe in limited government, they believe in NO government and they think that this can be achieved by destroying economic stability.
We don't see normal people attending these events parading their heterosexuality.
There's a reason queers are called queers. If what they do to each other isn't queer then nothing is.

GOProud is an American tax exempt 527 organization representing conservative gays, lesbians, transgendered people, and their allies. GOProud advocates for small government conservatism at the level of federal public policy.[2]
GOProud was founded by Christopher R. Barron and Jimmy LaSalvia, two former Log Cabin Republican staffers who expressed dissatisfaction at that organization's generally centrist political positions. GOProud has subsequently co-sponsored CPAC and have added noted conservative talk show host Tammy Bruce to the GOProud Advisory Council,[3] as well as political commentator/strategist Margaret Hoover, Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist[4], conservative media mogul Andrew Breitbart[5] and new media specialist Liz Mair.[6]
Their goals and values are open to question, imho.
Christopher Barron, GOProud Chairman of the Board: "We are a gay organization, we only work on gay issues, we have never claimed otherwise. My God people." Aug 4, 2010; 4:04pm
LOL, Hoover, and the others.
They're all about the homosexual agenda , made up from the log cabins and they never left the log cabins because they were fed up they moved because it was found that the log cabins were Dems , funded by Dems and voting for Dems, and who was only there to split the conservatives and cause division,
Sadly it worked to an extent because we have too many dopes and cowards or naive people who fall for it and say crap like well I know a couple and they're nice or but I don't care what their agenda is or what they do, it is the Christian thing, or the best one was by an elderly lady some time ago on here who said she has no problem because she met one at church and he is nice who wants ot be left alone and love anyone whom they want.
Guess she never read this about infiltration of the church.
That's a big part of the problem: people who refuse to see what this issue is all about. They deny the reality of the homosexual lifestyle (aids, hepatitis, hiv, TB, promiscuity, the teaching of homosexual practices to public schoolchildren and on and on), and instead focus on the surface. To some degree, this problem is also one of ignorance. How many people who are not homosexual and do not live in the San Francisco area know about the Folsom Street fair? I'm guessing a very small minority.
The amount of people I met up north when I went there saying they had no problem with homosexual marriage but then when asked if they wanted fisting taught in schools, men have sex at public places, pay for their diseases, let kids see two men playing families like both getting a child and then that child seeing two men in bed together they say no that is bad.
I agree with you that much of it is ignorance and an agenda of the media pushing that lifestyle.
Going soft on amnesty for illegal aliens will not result in many more Hispanics joining the GOP, and will lose more non-Hispanic GOP members than it gains.
The way to victory is NOT to be "Democrat Lite".
The attitude should be "We welcome anybody who adheres to conservative principles. We will not adjust conservative principles to pander to any group."
There should not be a "Gay Conservative Caucus", "Hispanic Conservative Caucus", or "Women Conservative Caucus". There should just be conservatives.
If their primary objective is to advocate conservatism to the gay community, then they are welcome. If their primary objective is to lobby the gay agenda to the Republican Party, then they are not welcome.
Guess Who's Coming to CPAC? (Breitbart & Norquist Gush Over GOProud in Homosexual Publication)
...Barron looks at the landscape: "We've said all along that we don't think that the conservative movement is unwelcoming to gay people. There is a fringe element. A really nasty, anti-gay, bigoted element. And we have smoked them out, and we have marginalized them."
"Asked for GOProuds response, the groups chairman apologized for his comments about Cleta Mitchell."
When I was a student at the University of Oklahoma from 1976-1980. Cleta Mitchell was the state legislature representative from Norman (included OU). At that time she was a liberal democrat. When did she become a conservative republican? I'm not doubting her bonafides, just wondering when the switch occured and why.
Hear hear! Thanks for posting that for the record. It would make a great tag line.
Ugh, say it isn't so! How could Cardenas not support fellow Cuban-American conservative Marco Rubio?
Asked if someone who supported gay marriage could be a conservative, Cardenas replied, Not a Ronald Reagan conservative I will say this: we adopted a resolution unanimously at ACU advocating traditional marriage between a man and a woman, so that answers how we feel on the issue.
Cardenas says that his priorities as the new ACU chairman will be focused on making sure that our true friends never leave the table.
Thank God Cardenas has taken a stand on this insane GOProud issue, which is threatening to destroy the ACU and CPAC. It sounds like level heads are finally prevailing. Good riddance, David Keene!
Next on my CPAC wish list: Finally shining light on Suhail Khan's and Grover Norquist's "questionable" Muslim alliances. If there's "no there there", fine, but so far I'm not convinced.
David Horowitz's Keynote at CPAC 2011 [The most important and least reported speech at CPAC.]

A year after making the biggest deal on draft day, the Brooklyn Nets settled for minor action toward the end.
Bypassing a chance to acquire a first-round pick, the Nets finally made their move midway through the second, acquiring the rights to the No. 44 pick, Markel Brown from Minnesota.
The Nets sent the Timberwolves cash considerations for the guard from Oklahoma State. Playing alongside Marcus Smart, who went with the No. 6 pick to Boston, Brown averaged 17.2 points last season, fifth in the Big 12.
"There were places we could have gotten in the first round, but we thought the price was too high," general manager Billy King said. "And so as we looked at it, Markel Brown gives us an athletic combo guard, probably one of the top athletes in the whole draft."
King said the Nets wanted to add youth to their backcourt. Starting point guard Deron Williams turned 30 on Thursday and is recovering from recent ankle surgery, while shooting guard Joe Johnson turns 33 on Sunday.
The Nets also acquired the rights to San Diego State point guard Xavier Thames, the No. 59 pick, from Toronto, and the rights to the final pick in the draft, No. 60, Baylor forward Cory Jefferson, from Philadelphia.
Brooklyn, hosting the draft at Barclays Center, was going to sit out the draft until being able to make the trades. The Nets had no first-round pick after sending it to Boston last year in the trade for Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce that was agreed to on draft night.
The Nets had nothing nearly as big develop on Thursday, though options did become available.
"There was a lot, starting probably after the 10th pick in the draft, things going back and forth," King said, "and we could've gotten in the first but we chose not to."

Scales of governance and environmental justice for adaptation and mitigation of climate change
Global climate change is a significant challenge to structures of governance at all temporal and spatial scales, particularly in the area of managing natural resources. Advances in understanding of the nature of observed and future climate change has led to a realization that significant future impacts are inevitable and increased efforts towards understanding the process of adaptation to the threatened impacts are required. This paper examines the issue of scale of governance relevant for adaptation. The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is the primary mechanism for co-ordinating international action on the threat of global climate change. The Convention process perceives adaptation as a further rationale for international transfers, in this case to compensate for and prepare for potential or realised impacts. This approach can be justified by recourse to the idea that enhancing sustainable development will enhance adaptive capacity and that planned activities are a key part of overall adaptation. But many adaptations to climate change will be spontaneous actions to perceived and actual risks in the environment. Thus institutional and economic parameters determine the underlying vulnerability and adaptive capacity of societies. I therefore argue that an understanding of adaptation processes allows interventions and planned adaptations at the most appropriate scales. I illustrate these arguments with reference to adaptation in agriculture and outline the insights from interdisciplinary development studies that can inform the climate change debates.

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS1647215
This black burner head has a glossy finish.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
Not a problem, very simple once I got all the parts I needed...operator at partselect was very helpful and nice to talk to...Thanks for the extra cooking space
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Removed four screws; withdrew two burners; set two new burners in place; installed same old screws. That was it. When I turned them on to adjust the flame, they came on almost instantly and no adjustment was needed.Wife loves the nice new look.
I removed teh pans and great filter.I removed the screws from the older Rear and front burner assembly and use them on the new parts. It just took about 20 mins to do all 4 burners.Checked that the gas worked for all 4 burnes once assembled. Then replaced the pans and the grease filler.Results have been great as the gas burners ignite faster and the stove top looks brand new :-)
We've been wanting to replace these parts ever since we moved into our home. It was an amazingly easy process. The range looks like new. PartSelect was a great company to work with. You could track your product's mailing status easily online. One of the grates arrived with several scratches on it. When we contacted PartsSelect, they immediately sent us a new grate. We are very pleased with this company, and we will use them for future appliance parts needs.
Removed the two screws that hold burners on mounting bracket . Removed burners and installed new burners. re-adjusted air flow to elimenate yellow flame.
Removed two screws and replaced burners and placed the unit back into position and the burners worked perfectly. Very easy. I think anyone could do this task.
Undid the bad part and installed the new one
just as stated before. Remove old burners from plate and reattach new burners.
I removed the old burners from the stove top. I then removed the screws holding the two burnes on to the mounting plate. Used WD-40 to loosen them up.I removed the old burners and put the new ones onto he plate then re-installed the burners on to the stove..............a cinch. Easy as pie, piece of cake.Thanks!

Reviews & Community
Good shorts, but where's the liner?
I ordered these shorts with the anticipation that they included the Evo chamois liner, but they arrived without the liner. The description says it includes the liner in multiple places so I am really confused. I called support and they said they'd get back to me but never did. I'd like to give these 5 stars, but I'm having a hard time doing so. Please help!
on the fence about them
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: 30
i like them, but i don't like them...
i have an older pair (5+yr) and those are baggier, have a front zipper and have the ventilation mesh on both the inside and outside of the legs. vs. these new attacks that are slimmer fitting and only have the breathable mesh on the inside leg.
and the new ones seem larger in size to me. i normally wear a 32, but these 32 were huge on me and i had to exchange for 30's which fit better in waist for me but then the chamois was unbelievable tight.
kinda disappointed in the purchase to be honest
Awesome shorts!
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 34
Have two pairs and want more. They are very breathable and fit great. Seems true to size. Definitely recommend these.
Right on Ethan!! Stoked you're diggin' the shorts!!
So far so good.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Large / 34"
Bought size L/34, fit true to size (had to cinch the inside belt straps a bit as I'm right around 33" waist).
The outers feel weightless, breathable, and have a light stretch. They are not clingy or staticy like some more stretchy shorts, and don't have the heavy stiffness of the Zoic Ether shorts I've used the last 5 years or so. Fox' chamois insert feels far, far superior to the Ether's as well, on par with my upper-end Pearl Izumi road shorts.
So far, the pockets do a reasonable job of keeping a phone stable without it flapping around.
size is innaccurate
- Fit: Runs small
I already have the same shorts in a size 34 but from the previous year - they still fit. this more recent model, the 34 does not fit at all.
So Fresh n' So Clean
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 34
The Attack's have to be my favorite pair of biking shorts in my arsenal of biking gear.
These shorts are extremely breathable and fit very well. The zipper pockets are pretty crucial if you plan on keeping your phone, gels or anything else safe. I have owned my shorts for about 2.5 years and have withstood the test of time, along with a few gnarly spills.
Get your bottom into these and you'll never want to take them off.
If you have any questions on these shorts or any other mountain biking apparel feel free to reach out to me at (801) 746-7580 ext. 4776!
Great Shorts
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
This is great solution for anyone wants baggy sorts with a great liner. The material is breathable and light weight.
If you have any questions on this product, I will be happy to help you out. I am usually in the office Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday 11:30am-9:30pm you can request me on by phone (1.888.276.7130 ext. 4646) during those hours. You can also send me an email @ firstname.lastname@example.com at any time.
The Necessary Upgrade
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
Purchased these as a gift, he'd been wearing some cotton/poly cargo-esque shorts from a few years ago, those quickly went to the weekend grubby clothes pile. The new shorts have been fully adopted into the biking rotation. 15 miles on the trail, pull out the chamois, couple of hours in the car, wash the bikes, a bit of grilling, cervezas, and he's still wearing the shorts. He wears a 31/32, and the 32 is perfect, he's also pretty slim. I am impressed by the fabric and construction, ultralight weight with smooth seams. The chamois looks all time, good coverage, good length and thickness around the bottom band will keep the shorts from moving. The shorts are to be lived in. The mesh insert only increases the breath-ability of these highly breathable shorts. There's great stretch for peddling, good length to keep that white thigh hidden and the fabric seems fairly abrasion resistant. Get two pairs.

Description•6 years ago
Created attachment 554292 [details] Testcase The media element's preloadAction should be re-evaluated at the start of the synchronous section in the resource selection algorithm. Otherwise if an existing media element's preload state is changed to a state which requires less buffing and a new load is started, the new load will ignore the new preload state. E.g.: (attached testcase) <script> var v = document.createElement("video"); v.preload = "auto"; v.controls = "on"; v.src = "http://pearce.org.nz/video/bruce.webm"; document.body.appendChild(v); v.onloadedmetadata = function() { v.preload = "none"; setTimeout(function(){v.src = "http://pearce.org.nz/video/arctic_giant.webm";},1000); v.onloadedmetadata = null; }; </script> In this testcase arctic_giant.webm should load assuming preload="none", but currently it loads assuming preload="auto". This change will make cases like the following to work more intuitively: <script> var v = document.createElement("video"); v.preload = "auto"; v.src = "video.webm"; // Currently we'll load assuming preload="auto". v.preload = "none"; // We should really load assuming preload="none"! </script> Philip Jägenstedt pointed out this bug at: http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2011-August/032953.html

Created attachment 591687 [details] [diff] [review] Initial patch looking for feedback. No tests. I took Chris' advice and altered the SelectResource method ensuring that a preload state that requires less buffering is not ignored. I have not written any tests yet but I'm just throwing this up for some feedback to make sure I'm on the right path.

Comment on attachment 591687 [details] [diff] [review] Initial patch looking for feedback. No tests. Review of attachment 591687 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry for slow feedback. Long weekend here. Can you look a the testcase attached here in the bug and add a similar test to content/media/test/test_preload_actions.html? ::: content/html/content/src/nsHTMLMediaElement.cpp @@ -889,5 @@ > nextAction = static_cast<PreloadAction>(preloadDefault); > } > } > > - if ((mBegun || mIsRunningSelectResource) && nextAction < mPreloadAction) { So mBegun is true after we've chosen a resource and started to download and decode it. We don't want to support reductions in the amount of buffering after decoding has begun at the current time; that should be the subject of another bug. So instead of doing what you're doing now, create a new boolean flag mHaveQueuedSelectResource, and use that in QueueSelectResourceTask instead of using mIsRunningSelectResource. This will prevent multiple calls to SelectResource being queued concurrently. Then call UpdatePreloadAction() in SelectResource, but set mIsRunningSelectResource to true in SelectResource() *after* calling UpdatePreloadAction(). Then the preload action will be updated before we start trying to load the resource, so if it's changed after load() is called on the media element, but before the load's synchronous section is run, the new load will reflect the changed preload state. If that doesn't make sense (or work!), let me know. :)

I ran into this issue for the better part of last night and it seems that if we leave it the way it originally was, it fails test 13 in content/media/test/test_preload_actions.html. The code that I added in was my work around to encountering that issue. I'm going to look into this more tonight to see if I can figure out a better solution. Any ideas?

Comment 7•5 years ago
I fixed up everything you mentioned Chris as well as what we spoke about on IRC, but we are still failing test 13. I remember you mentioned that test 13 was written incorrectly, mind refreshing my mind on that?
(Reporter) | ||
Comment 8•5 years ago
Test 13 is written assuming incorrect behaviour. That testcase should load with preload=none, but it's assuming the test loads with preload=metadata. This is basically the second example I pointed out in comment 0. Please change the test to verify that the load loads with preload=none; you can use the same basic approach as testcase 6 for that.

never did you tell me
you were leaving me.
left me in one month,
waited for months.
alone sitting in this room,
so dark.
so alone.
crying my heart out
while waiting,
waiting for your return.
hoping you could feel
the tears that come down,
hoping you could see
my shattered heart.
sewing every piece back
never leaving me
without telling me
once more.
hoping for your quick return,
bringing us back together
once more.

Wooden toys are durable then when properly maintained may last through generations. These easy steps will allow you to keep the child's wooden toys clean, sanitary and in good shape. It is recommended that you clean your entire child's wooden items regularly and thoroughly to help you stop the spread of germs. Because our wooden toys are made of natural materials, it is very important view the difference between unfinished and wooden items. Some of our wooden toys are unfinished. These toys haven't been dyed or painted by any means; rather to remain left inside their natural state. Our finished wooden backpacks are treated with non-toxic dyes and natural paint finishes. lucotoys
Daily Cleaning - Both finished and unfinished toys could be wiped clean with a dry cloth for daily maintenance and cleaning. Unfinished toys could be cleaned with a damp cloth, or sponge to take out dirt, or dust and then wiped dry.
Finished toys could be gently cleaned having a natural, unabrasisve soap and limited water. Once cleaned, the moisture ought to be wiped away with a dry cloth and the items must be in a position to dry completely before use. A rinse water and vinegar works extremely well in finished what to remove crayon marks and oil based discoloration. In spite of either finish, soaking in water is not recommended simply because this might cause swelling.
Deep Cleaning- if the wooden items requires deep cleaning a bleach and water solution may be used. The ratio is really as follows: 1 part household bleach to 10 parts water. Dampen a cloth in the solution and wipe the toy clean. Rinse quickly with plain water and dry using a cloth and invite the toy to air dry completely before use.
Taking care of Wooden Toys
o Avoid leaving your wooden playthings outside for extended periods of time. Sun damage can fade wooden playthings over time and water damage and mold can cause your wood toys to swell and age prematurely.
o Sand down any rough areas with fine sandpaper if the item should become splintered, or scratched.
o Do not expose your wooden things to excessive moisture unless should have been a teether.
o When it's time and energy to clean your wooden toys, attempt to wipe using a dry cloth first. In case a moist cloth is needed to remove dirt, dampen the cloth only slightly to scrub. Wipe away moisture and permit to air dry.
o Understand that water is the enemy - never soak a wooden plaything mainly because it will absorb water.
o NEVER clean wooden toys with furniture polish. Furniture polish contains toxic materials that may be harmful if ingested from your child.
o NEVER use harsh household cleaners on wooden items because the chemicals might be absorbed by the toy.
Involve your kids within the caring of the wooden play items and they can remain in playing condition for years to come. lucotoys
