Trucks have towing capacity, EVs have driving range and performance cars have Nürburgring lap times. What do all three have in common? They should all be taken with a grain of salt. Currently, there is no sanctioned way to record lap times or verify production-spec cars – a lesson we recently learned with the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo – and until there is a way to do so (and there probably never will be), we'll never officially know the actual time it took for Ford to lap the 'Ring
2013 Ford Shelby GT500: Review
Ford won't be releasing GT500 lap times for the 'Ring, or any other car

Shelby GT500 and Roush Stage 3 go head to head at the drag strip
- Brandon Turkus
- Aug 7, 2013
The Ford Mustang is a brilliantly affordable source of horsepower, with a base 300-plus-horsepower version available for well under $30,000. Jumping up to about $35,000 will get you a solid 420 horsepower from a high-revving V8, while those with some extra disposable income can get a pair of 600-plus-horsepower monsters. Both the Roush Stage 3 with its Phase 3 package and Ford's factory Shelby GT500 even crest the 650-horsepower mark, with 675 and 662 ponies, respectively.
Next Shelby Mustang to wear GT350 nameplate
- Steven J. Ewing
- Jun 21, 2013
Earlier this month, rumors started to swirl 'round the web about the next-generation Ford SVT Mustang – the halo version of the all-new 2015 'Stang seen testing in the gallery above. Originally, we heard that the Shelby GT500 moniker would be dumped in favor of "a name you're familiar with," which some sources guessed could mean a return of the Cobra nameplate.

What to do when He Wants to Settle Down
Normally, when it comes to relationships (and love in general), us women folk get a lot of stick for being the ones who are commitment-mad.
Bunny boiler, stalker, needy – yes, yes, we've heard it all. Judging from various media portrayals and misconceptions, it seems that all every woman wants in life is to find a man, get a ring on her finger and start popping out the babies like there's no tomorrow.
You could say that when it comes representing the modern woman, magazines, websites, films, TV shows and a host of other mediums are still stuck firmly in the Middle Ages.
But we live in a society now where gender roles are changing. Women are no longer confined to the house and we have our own lives. We have our own careers, our own ambitions – our own collection of designer shoes (which are a status symbol of our new lives, clearly).
For some women, it's a case of career first – family later. Yes, women are constantly judged for being clingy and needy, but what happens when the shoe is on the other foot? What happens when HE'S the one who is desperate for you to settle down with him? What happens when HE'S the one pressuring YOU for a commitment?
And what happens when you know, deep down, that while you're crazy about him, you're not ready to make that level of commitment just yet?
Commitment can be a scary, scary thing. Especially if he's pressuring you for a commitment of epic proportions like moving in together, getting a mortgage, getting married, having kids, getting a shared bank account – the works. Shudder.
In modern society, romance has been kicked up a notch. People meet and become an item insanely quickly. We rush through the traditional courtship process. There's no waiting. How many times have you watched your friends (and even yourself) get sucked in to a whirlwind romance?
Our relationships move so fast sometimes, and while it's great to be caught up in the moment, it sort of plays havoc with our ability to commit to someone.
You may be absolutely mad about him, but just haven't had enough time to get comfortable with the type of commitment that he's asking you for. And that's perfectly understandable. Honestly. We've all been there at some point in our lives.
So how can you deal with him when HE'S the one acting like a bunny boiler? How do you deal when you still love him and don't want to hurt his feelings, but you're honestly just not there yet?
It's a touchy subject and you need to tread very carefully with this one.
Talk it out: Yes, talking about how you feel is the age-old way to tackle any problems that crop up between you and your man. Sit him down and have an honest, genuine chat. Let him know exactly how you're feeling about the prospects of settling down with him. If it terrifies you, tell him, but do it in a tactful way.
Explain that while you love him deeply, you're just not ready for a house, kids and the whole shebang just yet. It's important to stress the fact that while you're not ready right now, you love him and you know that you will definitely be ready to settle down with him in the future. This will hopefully help him see that the timing isn't right for you just yet and that if he gives you a little bit longer, you'll be more than happy to take the plunge with him soon.
Listen to his feelings on the matter: Men don't handle rejection well. Even if you're not really rejecting him, you're just post-phoning his plans slightly. Either way, understand that he might be a little bit 'off' with you over the coming days.
There's not a lot you can do if this happens. The best course of action is to be patient and simply bite your tongue. He'll come around in a few days.
Take the pressure off: For the few days following your 'I'm not ready' conversation, it's probably a good idea to take the pressure off the relationship. What we mean by this is to just shelve the idea of commitment for a while and instead enjoy each other's company.
Go out and do things that the both of you love. Laugh and have loads of fun. Relax and remember why you guys are so great together.
Remember, when it comes to big life commitments you should only make them if you're completely ready. Don't allow yourself to be pressured into taking the plunge – only you know what's right for yourself.

Congratulations on making it to the footer. You're either a really good scroller or actually enjoy some of the things I have to say. If you're itching for more, you can peruse the website to find something new, or make yourself at home and stick around awhile.Let's Begin
Vuegraphics, the professional agency for design, believes designers serve a critical role as communicators, educators and innovators.
Remember, anyone can snap a picture, but at Vuegraphics I create photographs that capture a memory, a slice in time remembered.
Vuegraphics can help you to find the best quality and price printing solution for you. I am willing to push harder and even experiment.
Name Roy Yue
Address 6700 Rumble Street, BC Canada V5E 4H7
Phone +1 778 888 6311
Email email@example.com
Website www.vuegraphics.ca
At Vuegraphics my philosophy is simple: Strive for excellence. I recognize the power of the lens and I use it creatively to transform a photo session into an artistic experience.
My images have been utilized in a variety of fields - from product and commercial photography to editorial and fashion works. My images have appeared on commercial posters, catalogs and brochures mainly in Canada, but also internationally. I welcome every contract and commission as a challenge to our creativity, each time attempting to surpass the quality of my previous works. This creative drive is perhaps what differentiates Vuegraphics's work from that of other agencies; my artistic momentum is strong and solid, leading me toward visual discoveries.
Vuegraphics's accepts commissions from private individuals - such as models, actors, professionals, parents and engagements - to small and large corporations, and ad agencies.

"Pretty Little Liars" set a good stage for the fifth episode, titled "Reality Bites Me." When we last left the liars, they were gazing at a mirror covered in red lipstick that seemed to be Alison warning them it wouldn't be that easy to get rid of her.
Next week it looks like things are heating up for Toby and Emily — some after school chemistry causes some, well, chemistry. And does Toby ask her out?! Brave man.
Meanwhile, things are becoming icy at the Montgomery house. But we're glad to see Byron get what he so richly deserves and we're excited to see more Holly Marie Combs! Check out these sneak peek clips and tell us what you think!

Welcome to RePubIT, a premier interactive eBook prototyping design studio
We and our partners share a passion to revolutionize social learning methods through highly advanced eBook innovation. Emphasizing interactive, exploratory, adaptive, and collaborative learning activities, our evolving interactive eBook architecture fully supports emerging standards as it bridges capabilities of ePub3, learning analytics, and mobility. Many exciting affordances include group and mentor live collaboration, assessment, data capture, offline activity, accessibility, device connectivity (iBeacons, sensors, Internet of things)…
We partner with publishers, corporate learning groups, and e-learning service providers as consultants, service providers, and innovation thought leaders.
We actively participate and chair key international standards and practices committees under IEEE, BISG, IDPF, and EduPub.
RePubIT supports our customers in each stage of the social learning value chain. We address all levels of corporate learning, interactive documentation, and just-in-time performance support of mobile workers and other stakeholders.
RePubIt Services
- Consulting, executive briefings, and technical workshops
- Readiness assessments, technical architecture studies, and functional prototypes
- Cognitive analysis, instructional design, metadata, and pedagogy
- Full production of interactive ebooks, widgets and multimedia with social learning enhancements
- Development and programming for interactive readers, learning record stores (xAPI), and learning management systems
- Implementation and support of distribution portals, digital rights management, and learning analytics dashboards
- R&D: Content automation, simulations integration, iBeacons, data sensor connectivity
What is an ebook prototyping design studio?
We produce effective learning experiences, combining creative, curricula design, production, and technology disciplines.
We connect mobile learners to social learning environments through interactive ebooks and courseware in learning portals.
We transform the passive and user-provided interaction data from each mobile learner to an analytic cloud and skill-attainment dashboard.
Think of this as an "air traffic control system" that tracks the altitude, speed, heading, and destination of each mobile learner.
We work with all the technology standards committees in the field. Our combined 20 years experience in product development, change management, and executive leadership enables us to guide client investments in social learning and mobile UX design to achieve superior returns.
We serve on several standards boards and closely follow all advancements in:
- IDPF: ePub3 & Widget,
- IMSGlobal: EduPub, QTI
- ADL: SCORM, xAPI…
The Case for Interactive ePub3
Social eLearning can cut the time-to-achieve learning objectives by 62%, a figure derived from meta-analysis of several industry research reports. The figure below depicts the business case for social eLearning. Cycle-time gains will vary according to the organizational context, program prominence, and other cultural factors. Social eLearning incorporates five value drivers, depicted in the figure. These value drivers produce seven benefits depicted in the business case summary.
Social eLearning can provide benefits to several enterprise groups or organizations grappling with regulatory compliance and consent decrees, social eLearning can provide one of the most effective, lowest-cost solutions.
Screencast video demonstration
Watch as we connect a rough prototype ebook with the learning analytics dashboard. This enables continuous evaluation of learner progress and measured assessment. The game-changer is social learning through real-time mentor access. Quantify learning using Bloom's Taxonomy and inject gamification qualities with Leader Boards and Badging.
This video displays a proof-of-concept using pre-existing components and widgets.

What types of engagements do clients seek with us?
Many corporations start with an overview which can take two forms, an Executive Briefing or a deep dive Technical Workshop. Once there is a clear understanding of the requirements, RePubIT works with the internal task force to prepare a Readiness Assessment audit as a foundation for building the Social Learning ArchitecturalPrototype, an Operational Capability Design, and finally a Production Prototype of the mobile learning elements.
Executive Briefings introduce the principles of institutional knowledge preservation, employee engagement through lifelong learning, and the emergence of social learning and just-in-time training of mobile workers.
Technical Workshops drill into the technologies, standards, and infrastructure to support social learning environments, interactive ebook production, big-data analytic clouds, and skill-attainment tracking.

This is a nice, high quality case, designed, I think, to fit several models with longer than normal necks and/or headstocks. It isn't quite a perfect fit for the classic 12, but it's close enough to provide very good protection. The top of the case is oversized to accommodate bases, and this is OK as the headstock can never butt up against it and cause damage. Has a key, but I never use them.
Definitely worth the price.
Posted by Brett J on 25th May 2016
I ordered my Classic 12 with the case, and I'm quite pleased! The guitar is nice and snug, the materials look good, it's nice to have the logo on the case, and I see it is Canadian made!
My new axe is safe, and it is a distinctive case that I can't miss among others.
Eastwood was easy to deal with. Very helpful.
Oh, and the price is right too.
Posted by Michael on 22nd May 2016
These cases are fabulous. They fit a variety of basses and are very well made. I have had two now and both were great - no issues.
Posted by Michael on 28th Apr 2016
I was looking for a case for aFender CoranadoII base and fit beautifully. The inside measurements were right on. This is an excellent product.
Posted by Lenny on 5th Feb 2016
Man-O-Man, was that fast. I ordered it on Sunday night, it arrived Wednesday afternoon. I imediately tore open the box, and was not disappointed. It fits my bass, and accessories perfectly. The only minor glitch is, that I can't get the lock to work. But hey, that's not an issue, I'll only be using the case for transporting and support that a gig bag just doesn't offer, and I'm not in the habit of just leaving it around anywhere that I am not. Again, I am very pleased with the Eastwood products, and won't hesitate to buy again if needed.
Posted by john Frings on 15th Jun 2015
Two things I noticed as I received the guitar case today. First thing, middle latch does not line up perfectly. By pulling on the case top I can get it to latch. Second thing, It would be better if the the body of the 12 string classic were supported right up to the heel (where the neck meets the body. Other than those two things the case seems to be well constructed. It is actually a bit larger then it needs to be at the headstock area but I assume this is because this case will fit several different Eastwood models including the left hand models.

Intel's 64-Bit Pentium 4s Hit The Streets
Intel's first 64-bit Pentium 4 microprocessors were quietly added to the company's price lists on Sunday, heralding their entrance into the marketplace.
Four versions of the Intel Pentium 4 6XX series were announced at speeds up to 3.6-GHz, a frequency grade lower than the existing 5XX series. Prices will range from $224 to $605. Intel also added the 3.73-GHz Pentium 4 Extreme Edition to its lineup, a $999 chip that is fabricated on a finer 90-nm process than its older 130-nm P4EE components.
In addition to the Intel's 64-bit EM64T support, the new Pentium 4 chips also support the Execute Disable Bit, an additional megabyte of level-2 cache, and the Enhanced SpeedStep capability included on Intel's mobile processors. On the other hand, rival AMD began shipping its first 64-bit Athlon 64 processors in September of 2003, almost 18 months ago.
The 6XX series will likely be the last major enhancement to the Pentium 4 line before the introduction of the Pentium D "Smithfield," Intel's first dual-core part.

|This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
A frogman is someone who is trained in scuba diving or swimming underwater in a tactical capacity that includes combat. Such personnel are also known by the more formal names of combat diver, combatant diver, or combat swimmer. The word frogman arose from Italian "uomo rana" around 1940 from the appearance of a diver in a shiny drysuit and large fins.[citation needed]
Combat swimming is often used to mean combat diving. Such actions are a historical form of "frogman" activity and an important feature of naval special operations.[citation needed]
The term frogman is occasionally used to refer to a civilian scuba diver. Some sport diving clubs include the word Frogmen in their names. The preferred term by scuba users is diver, but the frogman epithet persists in informal usage by non-divers, especially in the media and often referring to professional scuba divers, such as in a police diving role.[citation needed]
In the U.S. military and intelligence community, divers trained in scuba or CCUBA who deploy for tactical assault missions are called "combat divers". This term is used to refer to the Navy SEALs, operatives of the CIA's Special Activities Division, elements of Marine Recon, Army Ranger Regimental Reconnaissance Company members, Army Special Forces divers, Air Force Pararescue, Air Force Combat Controllers, U.S. Coast Guard Helicopter Rescue Swimmers, United States Naval Search and Rescue Swimmers, United States Air Force Special Operations Weather Technicians, and the Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units. In Britain, police divers have often been called "police frogmen".[citation needed]
Some countries' tactical diver organizations include a translation of the word frogman in their official names, e.g., Denmark's Frømandskorpset and Norway's Froskemanskorpset; others call themselves "combat divers" or similar. Others call themselves by indefinite names such as "special group 13" and "special operations unit".[citation needed]
Many nations and some irregular armed groups deploy or have deployed combat frogmen.

Scope of operations[edit]
Tactical diving is a branch of professional diving carried out by armed forces and tactical units. They may be divided into:[citation needed]
- Combat/assault divers.
- Special mission work divers (called Clearance Divers in the British Royal Navy and Royal Australian Navy), who do general work underwater.
- Work divers who are trained in defusing mines and removing other explosives underwater.
These groups may overlap, and the same men may serve as assault divers and work divers, such as the Australian Clearance Diving Branch (RAN).
The range of operations performed by these operatives includes:[citation needed]
- Amphibious assault: stealthy deployment of land or boarding forces. The vast majority of combat swimmer missions are simply to get "from here to there" and arrive suitably equipped and in sufficient physical condition to fight on arrival. The deployment of tactical forces using the arrival by water to assault land targets, oil platforms, or surface ship targets (as in boardings for seizure of evidence) is a major driver behind the equipping and training of combat swimmers. The purposes are many, but include feint and deception, counter-drug, law enforcement, counter-terrorism, and counter-proliferation missions.
- Sabotage: This includes putting limpet mines on ships.
- Clandestine surveying: Surveying a beach before a troop landing, or other forms of unauthorized underwater surveying in denied waters.
- Clandestine underwater work, e.g.:
- Recovering underwater objects.
- Clandestine fitting of monitoring devices on submarine communications cables in enemy waters.
- Investigating unidentified divers, or a sonar echo that may be unidentified divers. Diving sea-police work may be included here. See anti-frogman techniques.
- Checking ships, boats, structures, and harbors for limpet mines and other sabotage; and ordinary routine maintenance in war conditions. If the inspection divers during this find attacking frogmen laying mines, this category may merge into the previous category.
- Underwater mine clearance and bomb disposal.
Typically, a frogman with closed circuit oxygen rebreathing equipment will stay within a depth limit of 20 feet (6.1 m) with limited deeper excursions to a maximum of 50 feet (15 m) because of the risk of seizure due to acute oxygen toxicity.[1] The use of nitrox or mixed gas rebreathers can extend this depth range considerably, but this may be beyond the scope of operations, depending on the unit.
Mission descriptions[edit]
The U.S. and U.K. forces use these official definitions for mission descriptors:[citation needed]
- Stealthy
- Keeping out of sight (e.g., underwater) when approaching the target.
- Covert
- Carrying out an action of which the enemy may become aware, but whose perpetrator cannot easily be discovered or apprehended. Covert action often involves military force which cannot be hidden once it has happened. Stealth on approach, and frequently on departure, may be used.
- Clandestine
- It is intended that the enemy does not find out then or afterwards that the action has happened. Installing eavesdropping devices is the best example. Approach, installing the devices, and departure are all to be kept from the knowledge of the enemy. If the operation or its purpose is exposed, then the actor will usually make sure that the action at least remains "covert", or unattributable: e.g., "... the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions".
Defending against frogmen[edit]
Anti-frogman techniques are security methods developed to protect watercraft, ports and installations, and other sensitive resources both in or nearby vulnerable waterways from potential threats or intrusions by frogmen.
In ancient Roman and Greek times, etc., there were instances of men swimming or diving for combat, sometimes using a hollow plant stem or a long bone as a snorkel. Diving with snorkel is mentioned by Aristotle (4th century BC).[2] The earliest descriptions of frogmen in war are found in Thukydides' History of the Peloponnesian War. The first instance was in 425 BC, when the Athenian fleet besieged the Spartans on the small island of Sphacteria. The Spartans managed to get supplies from the mainland by underwater swimmers towing submerged sacks with supplies. In another incident of the same war, in 415 BC, the Athenians used combat divers in the port of Syracuse, Sicily. The Syracuseans had planted vertical wooden poles in the bottom around their port, to prevent the Athenian triremes from entering. The poles were submerged, not visible above the sea level. The Athenians used various means to cut these obstacles, including divers with saws.[3] It is believed that the underwater sawing required snorkels for breathing and diving weights to keep the divers stable.[4]
The Hungarian Chronicon Pictum claims that Henry III's 1052 invasion of Hungary was defeated by a skillful diver who sabotaged Henry's supply fleet. The unexpected sinking of the ships is confirmed by German chronicles.[citation needed]
Italy started World War II with a commando frogman force already trained. Britain, Germany, the United States, and the Soviet Union started commando frogman forces during World War II.[citation needed]
First frogmen[edit]
The word frogman appeared first in the stage name The Fearless Frogman of Paul Boyton, who since the 1870s broke records in long distance swimming to demonstrate a new invented rubber immersion suit, which inflated hood had a frog-like shape. As a stunt show hero in that suit he played a military diver (attaching mines to ships etc.) long before such divers existed.[citation needed]
The first modern frogmen were the World War II Italian commando frogmen, of Decima Flottiglia MAS (now "ComSubIn": Comando Raggruppamento Subacquei e Incursori Teseo Tesei) which formed in 1938 and was first in action in 1940. Originally these divers were called "Uomini Gamma" because they were members of the top secret special unit called "Gruppo Gamma", which originated from the kind of Pirelli rubber skin-suit[5] nicknamed muta gamma used by these divers. Later they were nicknamed "Uomini Rana", Italian for "frog men", because of an underwater swimming frog kick style, similar to that of frogs, or because their fins looked like frog's feet.[6][verification needed][need quotation to verify]
This special corps used an early oxygen rebreather scuba set, the Auto Respiratore ad Ossigeno (A.R.O), a development of the Dräger oxygen self-contained breathing apparatus designed for the mining industry and of the Davis Submerged Escape Apparatus made by Siebe, Gorman & Co and by Bergomi,[7][verification needed] designed for escaping from sunken submarines. This was used from about 1920 for spearfishing by Italian sport divers, modified and adapted by the Italian navy engineers for safe underwater use and built by Pirelli and SALVAS from about 1933, and so became a precursor of the modern diving rebreather.[8][verification needed][9][10][11]
For this new way of underwater diving, the Italian frogmen trained in La Spezia, Liguria, using the newly available Genoese free diving spearfishing equipment; diving mask, snorkel, swimfins, and rubber dry suit, the first specially made diving watch (the luminescent Panerai), and the new A.R.O. scuba unit.[12] This was a revolutionary alternative way to dive, and the start of the transition from the usual heavy underwater diving equipment of the hard hat divers which had been in general use since the 18th century, to self-contained divers, free of being tethered by an air line and rope connection.[citation needed]
Wartime operations[edit]
After Italy declared war, the Decima Flottiglia MAS (Xª MAS) attempted several attacks on British naval bases in the Mediterranean between June 1940 and July 1941, but none was successful, because of equipment failure or early detection by British forces. On September 10, 1941, eight Xª MAS frogmen were inserted by submarine close to the British harbour at Gibraltar, where using human torpedoes to penetrate the defences, sank three merchant ships with limpet mines before escaping through neutral Spain. An even more successful attack, the Raid on Alexandria, was mounted on 19 December on the harbour at Alexandria, again using human torpedoes. The raid resulted in disabling the battleships HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Valiant together with a destroyer and an oil tanker, but all six frogmen were captured.[13]
The British Royal Navy had captured an Italian human torpedo during a failed attack on Malta; they developed a copy called the Chariot and formed a unit called the Experimental Submarine Flotilla, which later merged with the Special Boat Service. A number of Chariot operations were attempted, most notably Operation Title in October 1942, an attack on the German battleship Tirpitz, which had to be abandoned when a storm hit the fishing boat which was towing the Chariots into position.[14] The last and most successful British operation resulted in sinking two liners in Phuket harbour in Thailand in October 1944.[15] Royal Navy divers did not use fins until December 1942.[citation needed]
Wartime developments[edit]
In 1933 Italian companies were already producing underwater oxygen rebreathers, but the first scuba diving set is generally recognised inside the USA as being invented in 1939[citation needed] by Christian Lambertsen, who dubbed it the Lambertsen Amphibious Respirator Unit (LARU).[16] and patented it in 1940.[17] He later renamed it the Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus, which, contracted to SCUBA, eventually became the generic term for both open circuit and rebreather autonomous underwater breathing equipment.
Lambertson demonstrated it to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) (after already being rejected by the U.S. Navy) in a pool at a hotel in Washington D.C.[18] OSS not only bought into the concept, they hired Dr. Lambertsen to lead the program and build-up the dive element of their maritime unit.[18] The OSS was the predecessor of the Central Intelligence Agency and the maritime element still exists inside their Special Activities Division.[19]
John Spence, an enlisted member of the U.S. Navy, was the first man selected to join the OSS group.[20] In an interview with historian Erick Simmel, Spence claimed that the name "frogman" was coined while he was training in a green waterproof suit, "Someone saw me surfacing one day and yelled out, 'Hey, frogman!' The name stuck for all of us."[20]

A member of SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team Two prepares to launch one of the team's SEAL Delivery Vehicles from the back of the USS Philadelphia on a training exercise. The SDVs are used to carry Navy SEALs from a submerged submarine to enemy targets while staying underwater and undetected.
The frogman in popular culture[edit]
In the 1966 sci-fi film ″Fantastic Voyage″ and its accompanying novelization by Issac Asimov, the character of former navy veteran and now government agent Charles Grant is referenced as a communications expert and experienced frogman. [21]
The James Bond film Thunderball depicts an extended underwater battle, featuring frogmen.[22]
The movie The Frogmen used three-cylinder aqualungs, as shown on the DVD cover. At the time DESCO were making three-cylinder constant flow breathing sets that lacked the demand valve of the aqualung, but they were rarely deployed in the war, and the preferred system in the US armed forces was the rebreather developed by Dr. Christian J. Lambertsen.[23]
The film Submarine X-1, made in 1969, loosely based on the real Operation Source, gets British World War II frogman's equipment very wrong and anachronistic. The breathing sets shown were open-circuit and were merely a very fat cylinder across the belly, with a black single-hose second-stage regulator such as was not invented until the 1960s. Also shown were ordinary recreational scuba weight belts and diving half masks with elliptical windows. The frogmen in the real war operation mostly used Sladen suits and an early model of Siebe Gorman rebreather with a backpack weight pouch containing lead balls releasable by pulling a release cord.[citation needed]
The 1958 film The Silent Enemy with Laurence Harvey as Lionel "Buster" Crabb, describes his exploits during World War II. It was made following the publicity created by Crabb's mysterious disappearance and likely death during a Cold War incident a year earlier.
A new English translation of the book Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea uses the word frogman uniformly and wrongly to mean a diver in standard diving dress or similar, to translate French scaphandrier.
Mistakes in fiction[edit]
Many comics have depicted combat frogmen and other covert divers using two-cylinder twin-hose open-circuit aqualungs.[24] All real covert frogmen use rebreathers because the stream of bubbles from an open-circuit set would give away the frogman's position. Many aqualungs have been anachronistically depicted in comics in stories set during World War II, when in reality, at that time period, aqualungs were unknown outside Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his close associates in Toulon in south France. Some aqualungs were smuggled out of occupied France during the war (these may have been Commeinhes aqualungs), but the aqualung for the most part was not a player in combat in World War II.

Wednesday in the Bahamas
... Overall, an amazing trip. Not overly relaxing since I was doing things the whole time and didn't sleep hardly at all. A good experience though. Unfortunately, my second flight ended up getting delayed so instead of getting back to California around 8:30pm, I got here at 12:00am. Ugh. I was so exhausted. Also, when I had my layover, my ear started slightly ringing and when I got off the plane when I got home, I was feeling slightly dizzy. It's not ...
On Route to George Town
... the seas were very good too us.
Marjorie (I've been spelling Marj's name wrong I apologize Marjorie!) and I walked the towns main circle looking at tourist shops and exploring the walk took an hour at a slow pace so not big. The boys gassed up El Nido, filled the water and we are now ready for tomorrow's adventure. The day was lovely on the water it was really interesting to see how the water color ...
... We then dropped of our key to the locker and our towels and then came back to the ship. We were greeted by our crew outside dancing with a DJ playing, the other cruise ships were pretty jealous. They came out and gave us a cold towel to wipe down and a drink each to enjoy as we waited to check back in and onto the trip. It was high energy and a lot of fun. We all danced along with the workers. We then went to an artist signing for Will to get his Mad Decent towel signed and enjoyed ...
Our first hours at Ocean Club at The One and Only
So we land and as we were the first off the plane, we walked into the immigration a area first. There was a rasta band that was there and they started playing as we walked thru to welcome us. Funny. We went thru customs quickly. We were directed to a taxi to or resort. The ride was a warm 30 minute ride in a non AC cab with a nice older guy who gave us history and a mini sermon. We got ushered into the resort ...
Lots of Beach
... on the island, but not only were the shops locked up, but the fort as well. We continued on, aiming for the famed Cable Beach for our picnic lunch and swimming outing, but it was under a stormcloud when we got there. We had passed a small beach with a playground a couple miles east, and it hadn't been raining there, so we headed back that way.
It was Saunders Beach, and it turned out to be a wonderful ...

This is probably the wrong component.
A display:none'ediframe pointing to a xul document stops main document from finishing to load.
Changing to visibility:hidden or a non-xul document works.
This used to work in 1.7 and no longer does in 1.8. Testcase linked to in the URL.
Please attach the testcase to the bug.
Not a DOM events bug. This is a regression from bug 282103 -- Ben moved all the code in XULDocument that actually handles end of load into a block that only runs when there is a presentation. That's just majorly wrong. Of course so's the comment that was there before his change...

Attaching the testcase. This html file loads the previously attached xul file.
Note that this happens even if the XUL file just contains <window/>
I'll look at this tomorrow.

Don't use whether or not a reflow has occurred as a hint as to whether or not the document has been loaded once before, instead just use a state flag.
Comment on attachment 205336 [details] [diff] [review]
Looks good, though no need to init in the constructor -- documents are pre-inited to 0.
Will do, thanks for the fast review Boris.
Test case passes. I'll try and get this on the 1.8.1 when it is made (I assume that is very shortly).
We need this on 18.104.22.168 as well.
This is a major regression for us.
Has this landed on the trunk? We need a verified, baked patch and this appears to be languishing.
Since this wasn't checked in, should I or is it too late for 188.8.131.52 (since backing time will be only a few days)?
Ben's not gonna be back till far too late. Land this, please. And request 126.96.36.199 approvals. I hate how we don't start triage till a few days before so things will just slip through the cracks. :(

could this have caused Bug 322701 ?
Comment on attachment 205336 [details] [diff] [review]
Note that this probably did cause bug 322701. Until we get that sorted out I guess we can't land this on branch. :(
It's too bad that we're breaking other XUL consumers for dynamic overlays to work. :(

Patch to fix regression in bug 322701
(In reply to comment #23)
> Created an attachment (id=207948) [edit]
> Patch to fix regression in bug 322701
I tested with this patch and the testcase in this bug still appears to work and it fixes the issue with the options panel noted in bug 322701. So far I have not found any other regressions.
Comment on attachment 207948 [details] [diff] [review]
Patch to fix regression in bug 322701
> // If this is a dynamic overlay and we have the prototype in the chrome
> // cache already, we must manually call ResumeWalk.
>- if (aIsDynamic)

The only other place mDocumentLoaded is set to PR_TRUE is in the if (!mDocumentLoaded) section in ::ResumeWalk. mDocumentLoaded is an indication that the master prototype is done loading. Your patch is setting the done-ness of the master prototype's load state independently of ::ResumeWalk, which seems shaky. Without understanding all possible call patterns, it seems like this could result in race conditions or the document not to be finalized when it should. Why, when ::ResumeWalk is called, is mDocumentLoaded not set to PR_TRUE in the regular place? Does the removal of the placeholder request from the document's load group fail?
I'm going to look at this one today too.
(In reply to comment #25)
> should. Why, when ::ResumeWalk is called, is mDocumentLoaded not set to PR_TRUE
> in the regular place? Does the removal of the placeholder request from the
> document's load group fail?
(I don't think the problem is that mDocumentLoaded is not being set to PR_TRUE in the regular place.
There is a lot of code in ResumeWalk that is only executed if mDocumentLoaded is already set to PR_TRUE when ResumeWalk is called.
It appears that in order for the Options panel to display correctly, ResumeWalk needs to be called at least once with mDocumentLoaded already set to PR_TRUE.
That does not seem to happen in this case.
OK I think I found what is going on here but have no idea how to fix it. There is a whole section of code in ResumeWlak that can never be reached. This is the sections headed by the following comment:
// If we have not yet displayed the document for the first time
// (i.e. we came in here as the result of a dynamic overlay load
// which was spawned by a binding-attached event caused by
// StartLayout() on the master prototype - we must remember that
// this overlay has been merged and tell the listeners after
// StartLayout() is completely finished rather than doing so
// immediately - otherwise we may be executing code that needs to
// access XBL Binding implementations on nodes for which frames
// have not yet been constructed because their bindings have not
// yet been attached. This can be a race condition because dynamic
// overlay loading can take varying amounts of time depending on
// whether or not the overlay prototype is in the XUL cache. The
// most likely effect of this bug is odd UI initialization due to
// methods and properties that do not work.
This code can only be reached if mDocumentLoaded is PR_TRUE and mInitialLayoutComplete is not PR_TRUE. But the code currently sets both of these to PR_TRUE at the same place so this condition will never occur except that my patch (which set mDocumentLoaded = PR_TRUE while leaving mInitialLayoutComplete false) forced that condition.
Comment on attachment 205336 [details] [diff] [review]
please resolve the regression issues and get this baked on trunk before renominating for a 1.8.0.x release (but too late for 1801)
This depends on bug 322701 getting approved for branch.
Fixed on 1.8.1 branch. If people are serious about getting this on 1.8.0 branch, I'd request approval...

Auto Industry Moving Steadily to Solve IoT Privacy Issues
The auto industry is well on the path to establishing clear data privacy-versus-data sharing standards that could lead the way for other sectors.MENLO PARK, Calif. -- As vehicles become increasingly dependent upon cloud services and loaded down with code, processors and devices, they're collecting scads of data about the cars, their drivers, their locations, and their driving habits. As in the social-network business, this collecting and analyzing of transportation-related data is already a burgeoning, multi-billion dollar market for automakers, Internet service providers, insurance companies, and software makers. Yet this also poses issues for users. Who actually owns this data, and for what purposes may it be used? Who is allowed to analyze and monetize it? Does the customer have final say on who can use what data? Not every app has an opt-in choice. Will car diagnostics be made publicly available, so that when a driver that might need an oil change cruises by an Oil Changer shop, he gets an auto-notification on his smartphone? How much does that infringe on personal privacy? Your imagination can run wild here.
These are becoming more relevant questions all the time. It's not difficult to see that connected cars are upgrading the automobile market in the same way smartphones transformed the telecom world.
