6 Harrier jets destroyed, 2 damaged in Taliban assault on Camp Bastion

Friday night's "well-coordinated" suicide assault on Camp Bastion resulted in the destruction of six US Harrier strike aircraft and significant damage to two others. The members of the suicide assault team wore US Army uniforms and "appeared to be well equipped, trained and rehearsed," the International Security Assistance Force said.
The nighttime attack, in which a suicide assault team penetrated the perimeter of Camp Bastion, a sprawling base in the Desert of Death in Helmand province, resulted in the death of two ISAF soldiers. Eight other ISAF troops and a civilian contractor were wounded in the attack. Fourteen members of the assault team were killed and one more was wounded and captured.
"The attack commenced just after 10 p.m. when approximately 15 insurgents executed a well-coordinated attack against the airfield on Camp Bastion," ISAF said in a statement that provided additional details on the attack. "The insurgents, organized into three teams, penetrated at one point of the perimeter fence."
The members of the jihadist assault team were "dressed in U.S. Army uniforms and armed with automatic rifles, rocket propelled grenade launchers and suicide vests."
Once inside the perimeter, the assault team "attacked coalition fixed and rotary wing aircraft parked on the flight line, aircraft hangars and other buildings."
ISAF confirmed that six AV-8B Harrier strike aircraft "were destroyed" and two more "were significantly damaged." Although ISAF did not state which country owned flew the aircraft, the US Marine Corps is the only military branch flying Harriers in Afghanistan. The aircraft cost an estimated $30 million each.
Additionally, "three coalition refueling stations were also destroyed. Six soft-skin aircraft hangars were damaged to some degree."
ISAF said on the day of the attack that it "has determined that despite the damage, there will be no impact to ground or air operations from Camp Bastion."
However, a US Marine aviation officer familiar with operations in southern Afghanistan disagreed. The Harriers are used to provide close air support for Coalition forces conducting combat and counterinsurgency operations in the south, and with eight of the aircraft taken offline, there will be less to support these missions.
"Our resources in the south -- including aircraft -- are already stretched," the officer told The Long War Journal. "We couldn't afford this loss, and our troops on the ground are going to feel this."
Friday's complex attack on Bastion is very similar to a host of other assaults on major bases in Afghanistan and Pakistan that have taken place over the years. An alliance of jihadist groups, that include the Pakistani and Afghan Taliban, al Qaeda, Harakat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and other terror groups have penetrated bases and targeted aircraft and other personnel. [See LWJ report, Jihadists launch complex assault on Camp Bastion in Helmand, for a list of the more significant attacks since 2009.]
Correction/update: the article was updated to note that the Harriers were from the US Marine Corps. The British military retired its Harriers two years ago. In the past, Harriers were stationed in Afghanistan.

The base commander should be desmissed, as a consequence of that raid. What kind of security did they have at the place? Weren't they capable to use sensors and other kind of stuff? Wow, that was an imense incompetence!

Its surprising that the US never comes up with the correct number of casualties or damage in the initial report and constantly changes the figures and story, as happened in the Camp Salerno attack. Yet, it is believed and not mocked. On the other hand, when Taliban lay tall claims, the initial reaction is disbelief and mockery. Too often, it seems the Taliban claims have not been farther from reality than the US's. Plus, the US is able to hide the casualty figure by declaring the casualties over several days in separate incidents. So far, within 48 hours, 6 more coalition deaths have been attributed to green-on-blue. Also, those who are injured and die on the way or in Ramstein are not counted as war dead. In a couple of years, the nation will wonder if the actual number of dead soldiers lie between the 2000 officially recognized or the 20,000 claimed by the enemy.

I agree, the loss of so many aircraft will hurt like hell. The Taliban have upped their game by leaps and bounds. Bastion is supposed to have 'long-sight' over the surrounding area which should mean that an approaching force can be seen well off in the distance. The fact they managed to get up close and into the base without detection and then take out so many aircraft says a lot.

Posted by Tim Cheney at September 16, 2012 12:23 PM ET:
The British armed forces has not operated the Harrier since 2010.
Therefore the only Harrier based at Camp Bastion is the USMC AV-8B.
Posted by Port Blair at September 16, 2012 12:25 PM ET:
Okay 6+ aircraft is lost , however Harriers are important to hunt down terrorists and fly short missions. But the intelligence gathering will likely be less impacted as it is mostly carried out by drones and micro-satellites.
The loss of personnel is more disconcerting.
Posted by foxmuldar at September 16, 2012 12:38 PM ET:
Since the assault took place at night, I wonder if someone was asleep on watch. As for the infiltrators wearing US Army uniforms, that shouldn't matter if they had been spotted outside the compound. Again I wonder if someone didn't fall asleep on watch. The US has night vision goggles so this many infiltrators should have been spotted. And if they were spotted certainly a code or something to identify them as real US Military had to be used before they would be allowed to enter inside the perimeter. Hopefully we will find out more later. Lucky for the compound, only two were killed.
I'm also going to bet that whomever was in charge at this base will be replaced shortly if he or she hasn't been by now. JMOP

The Brits retired their Harriers two years ago. They sold the remaining aircraft and equipment to the US for use as spares hulks for the Marine Harriers.

How long before we find Pakistans fingerprints on this attack?
Posted by Apr at September 16, 2012 1:33 PM ET:
The British stopped using the Harrier a long time ago.
Posted by Martin at September 16, 2012 2:50 PM ET:
If we assume that each aircraft is still worth 50% of its original price and add up the 6 destroyed machines + the 2 damaged ones + damage to hangars/other base structures, this adds up to > $100 million in material damage.
@LongWarJourmal Editors: I think this might be the highest material losses in a single day in the entire Afghanistan War. What is your take on this?
Posted by Maaz Siddiqui at September 16, 2012 3:58 PM ET:
I really don't understand the presence of ISAF in Afghanistan .I mean it has been 11 years and they have not understood a fact that these people will never change. They will continue to fight and kill someone till the end.
Posted by Will Fenwick at September 16, 2012 4:25 PM ET:
This attack is remarkably similar to ones made by the LTTE during the Sri Lankan Civil War. It played out almost exactly like the July 24th 2001 LTTE attack on Bandaranaike air base where 14 LTTE suicide commandos destroyed a number of Sri Lankan Air force and civilian aircraft. Another similar attack was that on Anuradhapura Air Force Base in 2007, where 21 LTTE suicide commandos destroyed at least 9 Sri Lankan aircraft. These attacks were made in an effort to eliminate the Sri Lankan government's advantage of air supremacy by destroying aircraft on the ground since they had no effective means of destroying them in the air.
While these operations destroyed a significant portion of the small Sri Lankan air force, the airforce was generally able to cope with each attack and did not see any major interruption of air combat operations. I expect the result of the Afghan attack will have even less effect on Coalition operations, as coalition aircraft inventories are large. Any effect the attack has on air operations will likely last only a few days until replacement aircraft can be flown in .

To whom it may concern:
I know that you know where Mullah Omar, Haqqani and Gulbuddin Hekmatyar live in Pakistan. Look, if you really want to finish this war and win then kill these 3 people by any means possible! If you do that the enemy will lose moral and the war will be finished, easy!!! PLEASE TRY THAT!!!

"The members of the suicide assault team wore US Army uniforms and "appeared to be well equipped, trained and rehearsed,""
Where is the money behind this coming from? It smacks of state-sponsorship, just as how the LeT Mumbai assault team was trained by naval frogmen and commandos. Clearly a breakdown in security at Camp Bastion.
Posted by Luc LEONARD at September 16, 2012 5:15 PM ET:
I'm astonished how easily the fences of such an important base can be penetrated. Even if the attackers wore american uniforms, aren't their any ID checks around the base ?
Aren't their any cameras around the fence to watch over the ground outside the camp?
What a shame for the guards of the camp.
They sure can be blamed for this historic success of the taliban.
I can't remember in NATO history any attack from an ennemy that resulted in the destruction of eight occidental planes...
Posted by JT at September 16, 2012 7:48 PM ET:
!@#$ or get off the pot. I hate that phrase, but it seems to apply with the US in the middle east. I prefer to go on the offensive with those who view most westerners as infidels. If we retreat, history will look like 1979 on steroids.
However, this in-between crap does nobody any good. Here is hoping that, either the current administration looks at the problem with wide open eyes, or there is a new admin come January.

Posted by Tony Buzan at September 16, 2012 10:37 PM ET:
JT, I don't think it's a matter of whether we are in the "in between mode" or not, but rather a fact that we have a strategic breach in our midst from an evolving enemy.
Our systems for evaluting whether or not any Afghan citizen, chosen at random, poses an imminent AND grave security risk are profoundly flawed.
Those massive biometric databases ai'nt worth a hill of beans. What a waste of taxpayer dollars?

To An Afghan:
I absolutely agree with what you are saying.
It's going to take a real "Hail Mary" play to turn this thing around.
The fewer troops there are on the ground, the more they are going to have to rely on airstrikes. Hence, even more civilian casualties.
Why don't they just increase substantially the number of troops on the ground and just pull them out sooner.

Posted by sundoesntrise at September 16, 2012 11:23 PM ET:
Hello once again, Bilal,
"Its surprising that the US never comes up with the correct number of casualties or damage in the initial report and constantly changes the figures and story, as happened in the Camp Salerno attack."
Alright, well as for changing the casualty figures, that's bound to happen when you have such a fluid, rapidly changing situation on the ground, where things can change so quickly. And in this case, I have yet to see the U.S. change the casualty figures at all, the only time the casualty figures changed was when nobody knew about the damage to the base, and then ISAF themselves divulged info to the media about the damaged hangers and aircraft. So you're lying about that, and I suggest you stop because it only makes you look more foolish.
"Yet, it is believed and not mocked. On the other hand, when Taliban lay tall claims, the initial reaction is disbelief and mockery. Too often, it seems the Taliban claims have not been farther from reality than the US's. Plus, the US is able to hide the casualty figure by declaring the casualties over several days in separate incidents."
That's because ISAF still has more credibility as an institution than the Taliban ever will, and that's because the Taliban's claims are just too wild to believe Bilal. Maybe if the Taliban didn't mix up their casualty figures (ie. claim 29 are dead on Twitter and then say they killed 129 on their website...), and if their posts weren't full of broken English emotional laden propaganda, then they would be taken more seriously. And as for hiding the casualty figures over several days, that's another lie of yours. If you were to believe the Taliban propaganda reports, anywhere between 80-200 ISAF soldiers die a day, so how on Earth are they going to "cover that up" by issuing *that many* press statements about so many soldier's deaths? Trust me, I look at all the ISAF official press statements on casualty reports, they do not do that, it's not practical. Nice try though.
"So far, within 48 hours, 6 more coalition deaths have been attributed to green-on-blue. Also, those who are injured and die on the way or in Ramstein are not counted as war dead. In a couple of years, the nation will wonder if the actual number of dead soldiers lie between the 2000 officially recognized or the 20,000 claimed by the enemy."
Like I said before Bilal, 6 does not match up to the number you are claiming, 6 is not enough to cover all the deaths the Taliban claim they inflict! And yes Bilal, they count those who are injured and die on the way, as well as those who died in the European military hospitals. ISAF has issued many statements announcing the deaths of their members from ^insert cause here^ while in Europe, you just don't bother to look for such material.
This site will enable you to view the exact location of the death of service members, wherever they may be, as long as they served in Afghanistan they are counted on the list http://icasualties.org/OEF/index.aspx
"In a couple of years, the nation will wonder if the actual number of dead soldiers lie between the 2000 officially recognized or the 20,000 claimed by the enemy."
To be honest, the Western public is not really concerned with the war to begin with, so I doubt they'll ever wonder about that at all, but that's not the point. If I read your post properly, you claim 20,000 is the real number of soldiers dead. Now go on the Taliban website, and look at the DAILY casualty figures they claim, do you think it would equal 20,000?? Come on Bilal, you're better at math than that. The "Islamic Emirate Of Afghanistan" releases annual "statistics" for their "operations", and I remember in the year 2010 alone they claimed they killed something like 27,000 ISAF soldiers. Their numbers are all over the place Bilal, because since they are lying about the number, they have trouble keeping track of the real number because it never existed in the first place. Anyway, I suggest you look up their annual statistics figures, and stop being so gullible. This is 2012, we're in a time where, for the most part, we can get free information on the web. Medieval Islamists rely on people like you to keep yourself in the dark and uninformed while they reap all the power and benefits of your activism.
Posted by dr burke at September 17, 2012 12:01 AM ET:
This could have been a diversionary tactic, to sneak in other terrorist dressed in military uniforms. My guess is they will probably take over a barracks, kill the troops and assume their identity, then wait to mount an assault. From INSIDE.
When their ranks are more than a few hundred. Major damage and they will probably just line up our troops and kill them. By the thousands.
Posted by bear at September 17, 2012 3:27 AM ET:
Bilal, it seems that you celebrate when there is a NATO death... at least that's how it looks on your twitter account...
Posted by Neonmeat at September 17, 2012 4:24 AM ET:
I have seen it asked a few times already but seriously does anyone know how they breached the fence?
In prior attacks we have seen them use VBIEDs but there is no mention of this. Considering the size of this base I find it baffling they could get close enough to the fence without being challenged at all, don't bases have outposts anyway? Perhaps it is complacency.

It is hard to believe that a Red Team approach to base security did not come up with this operational plan employed by the enemy. This is not 20/20 hindsight but prudent intell analysis if you are doing your job. This attack was preventable!!
Posted by george at September 17, 2012 8:49 AM ET:
Assumptions are just that. Normally security on the "outside" perimeter is manned by local nationals.......USMC has no say in that unfortunately its all political. As you move towards the base then you have contractors from other countries........then Americans. I can only assume.......this was an inside job through the perimeter then they used suicide vests to get close to the contractors and break through that perimeter ............then they and the Marines had it out.......but the Marines cant fire unless they KNOW who these guys are. TOO LATE.......they're in. For any pundits out there just check our politically tied hands regarding ROE in AFG.......especially at the FOB's. I am sure Marines will be shooting instead of idenfiying next time.
Posted by JRP at September 17, 2012 11:07 AM ET:
Of course it was an inside job. There could be no other logical explanation. I gather our aircraft are in the open and not brought into hangers when parked. I too am amazed that, regardless of uniform, and regardless of it being nighttime, how does some kind of eye-in-the-sky surveillance not catch these approaches? BTW, the uniforms, undoubtedly stolen off of hijacked trucks making the run into Afghanistan from Karachi. Make no mistake about it. Our enemy is extraordinarily talented and as adept at low tech warfare as we are at high tech warfare.

Before the NATO leaves Afganistan The Pakistani ISI and its SSG has shown it capability to infiltrate the historically unreliable afghan ANA recruits and launch of snide attacks and damage material assets enemy and Harry would have been a trophy, But the US Admin and British PMO will remain silent

I'm sure this was an Iranian planned operation... they've done it before. At this point, I say we should just get out of there..... nothing good will come of it. We will be in a major shooting war with Iran within months. I hope we exact out revenge on their regime for the countless Americans they have killed and neuter them once and for all. Obama is clueless, naive to such a degree that it's painful. Our future in the Middle East will be determined post the next Iran conflict.
Posted by Render at September 17, 2012 3:01 PM ET:
Not that it's needed but - Confirming that all Harrier's lost in this attack belonged to USMC.
Prince Harry (and the British contingent of Camp Bastion) was/were not the primary target. The British contingent is not located on that side of Camp Bastion. The aircraft, and their support equipment, were the primary target
The uniforms were likely stolen from hijacked cargo shipments, that travel through Pakistan (via the port of Karachi).
No matter how well fortified any defenses are, the advantage (in modern combat) always lies with the attackers. If any commander is to be removed, it should be the commander-in-chief who ordered the defensive posture in Afghanistan, and who also announced the surrender date at West Point. The very same C-in-C who thought that the death of UBL would mean the end of a world wide war...
This isn't going to get any better, or any easier. The draw down of US and allied forces continues unabated.
The is zero chance that the ANA/ANP will be able to stand on their own without those US and allied forces. But I've been saying that since 2006...
There remain two USN carrier battle groups in the North Arabian Sea but heightened tensions with Iran will likely absorb their attention, sooner, rather then later. This will reduce still further the available air support for Coalition ground forces in Afghanistan.
Maybe a decade plus world wide war really is a bad time to reduce the military budget?
Posted by sundoesntrise at September 17, 2012 5:24 PM ET:
Hey Render, glad to have you back.
Just a quick question, a friend of mine that served in the Canadian armed forces believes that the U.S. is still such a superior fighting force that even without air support, they still have artillery, tanks, armoured fighting vehicles, snipers, spec ops (who are already on the ground...) that even without fighter jets or drones, they could still conquer Afghanistan if the restrictive RoE were lifted on the troops.
Do you agree with that? What is your take on that? Thanks.
Posted by mike merlo at September 17, 2012 6:08 PM ET:
so has 'it' been determined 'yet' whether or not this assault rec'd inside assistance?
Posted by Render at September 17, 2012 10:53 PM ET:
Sundoesntrise (do I know you under a different nic?)(and good questions):
There are a ton of variables that could change the answer to your friends belief.
But ultimately the answer right now is...nope, no chance.
Not with the troops that are currently in country. The vast majority of those troops are not front line rifleman types, but support elements.
The number of real tanks in country is slightly under a single battalion in number, and that a mixed bag of primarily Canadian and Dutch Leopard 1's and 2's, (I'm not altogether certain those are even still in country at this point). USMC had five of the Breacher CEV's and the Germans had about a company of Weasel tanketts in country, (but again I'm uncertain if any of those remain at this point). The Strykers and other light armored vehicles remain as vulnerable to IED's, RPG's, and ATGM weapons as they always have been.
Even assuming that all of that armor is still in country, it, and all of the ground based artillery requires a tremendous amount of logistical support. Logistical support that is still at the mercy of our Pakistani "allies", including the primary air routes.
Regarding the snipers and other SpecOps types...
The "Commando Olympics" of 2002-2006 were successful because there a number of tribes and clans that were willing to support us against the Taliban. Almost all of those factions have now been alienated by the policies and strategies from 2006 to the present day. Hence the rapidly rising number of Blue on Green events we're watching right now. The number of those events will very likely rise in line with the number of Coalition troops withdrawn from the theater. As I've mentioned before, switching sides to the winning side is something of a very long tradition in that region.
Obama's West Point speech really was the end game. The 2009 "surge", although kind of pointless tactically, could have served as a good starting point for the "Hail Mary" play mentioned by another commenter above, but was a failure strategically, because, like all of the other strategies before it, it never truly addressed the enemies safe havens and primary source of support...In Pakistan.
Posted by Jack Williams at September 18, 2012 11:16 AM ET:
The lack of imagination is the cause of numerous debacles, going back to Vietnam. Why the heck were these aircraft "parked on a flight line," and not in individual revetments?
That thinking cost us our entire far eastern air force in the Phillipines early in WWII. Even Vietnam we FINALLY (after numerous multi-plane losses on the ground to terror and indirect fire attacks) learned to use revetments for individual planes ... and the NVA didn't have an air force either.
Result of the failure to heed 70 year old lessons? ... loss of 8 percent of entire USMC harrier assests.

Much will have been done already to answer the many points raised here.
Yet, how many medium level commanders and foreign fighters have been 'removed from the battlefield' since this attack on I.S.A.F.? The Taliban have always been willing to trade enormous losses for a few minutes air time on western, particularly American television. They hear they are winning from our side of the fence.
Posted by mike merlo at September 19, 2012 5:59 PM ET:
I'm curious to know how you arrived at the following: "Hence the rapidly rising number of Blue On Green events." Just because you cite an alienation on the part of clans & tribes because of politics what facts do you have that support/connect "rising number," & alienation of "clans & tribes?"
Posted by B Daneker at September 20, 2012 12:24 PM ET:

Well these attacks are similar like happen on Pakistan bases. People in Pakistan raises question what these terrorist has to do with PAK airbase and planes. There were some big involvement and motive behind those attacks. This attacks show's the Tit for Tat policy. I believe there is a covert war on between ISI vs CIA RAW MOSSAD in this region.

Appears to be very insignificant assault by the Taliban,..peanuts! Not a word in the AP, local paper or radio.

Field Report: Electro-Voice RE320
Undisputed feature
Without a doubt, if you are not familiar with this line of mics, you'll be amazed at the lack of proximity effect. And the RE320 continues that detail. An announcer could look hard left and right without any discernable drop in low end. You can back away without sounding like you're off-mic. Remember when we used to reach for a cart in the rack behind us? Not that it happens anymore, but there is still plenty of movement in live broadcasting. Watch ESPN's simulcast of Mike & Mike in the Morning for an example of just how much movement this mic can negate.
There simply isn't another microphone design with this tonal consistency.
Because of this feature, I thought it would be interesting to test the mic against instruments that exhibit their own proximity effect (similar to kick drum). I started with a Yamaha Conservatory Grand Piano. By conventional thinking, this is a bit of a stretch for this mic. But in a scenario where you were forced to track with the lid closed and the mic very close to the sounding board, the RE320 has an ability the conventionals don't. The RE320 stayed far more focused on sonic energy under 1kHz.
I also found the 320 to be very nice on snare drum and toms. The consistency of bottom end from the 320 makes for a very easy mixdown. While the solo track felt like it lacked sizzle, the track cut through the mix quite well.
For applications that either exhibit their own proximity effect, or where the source distance is constantly changing, this mic is worthy of consideration. Not that I recommend tight miking a string section, but sometimes circumstances force on us less than ideal positions. This mic might prevent some of the booming that Cellos tend to exhibit up close. Or perhaps it could provide a little sonic discipline to that guitar cabinet that just won't behave.
And of course, one of the most complex instruments to record: The human voice! The 320 handles plosives very well, even without a 1/2" of foam windscreen. This ability, in combination with minimizing the proximity effect, is exactly what an on-air studio demands - making the RE320 an ideal mic for live voice.

Electro-Voice has continued the heritage of the RE20/RE27 with the RE320. It is a microphone that can perform, in some ways, like no other. For general purpose fidelity and sensitivity, high-output, large capsule condenser microphones are hard to beat. But to properly use and protect them, you need a great degree of control over the myriad of variables within the studio. When that control is not possible, or when it comes to needing a durable mic that can withstand the harsh environment of close miking from a variety of sources, the RE320 is an excellent choice. It's low-end is stunningly consistent. For the many applications where proximity to the microphone can change, this microphone can save the day!

Don't recall the upscale brand but the little buggers stick together in the bag. Maybe moot as I may not use buy them again. So, just curious if you use them how do you handle them? |

The manual for my new washer said not to use paks. That must cause more than visual problems. |
Don't reach in the pouch with wet hands. |
Along with wet hands, I would also suspect storing them where the conditions are hot and humid (under a sink, next to the dishwasher that puts off some heat, etc.) may also contribute to the sticking. High humidity may actually activate the melting of the packet. In my new Bosch dishwasher, they suggest using 1 T. of powdered dishwasher detergent or detergent tablets for most loads. I just stick with powdered detergent and use even less than 1 tablespoon. In these new dishwashers, more isn't better. -Grainlady |

Yep - wet hands. I discovered that, too. Maybe the pods shouldn't be kept in their original plastic bag. Maybe the pods should be dumped into an open container of some kind with free air flow - Tupperware? |
I had that happen too. I just use the Finish tabs that have the red button in the middle. Costco always seem to have a good sale on. Each one is easy open, individually wrapped. They work great! |

It's not Dungeon Hunter's fault. Not all PS Vita games were created equal, and Sony's launch line-up of stunners and stinkers means the middling get lost in the shuffle.
To its credit, this has a nice line in dungeon-crawling and loot-collecting, repetitive to most but at least there's an audience.
You play as warrior, rogue or mage (ingenious!) and trudge your way through ominously lit castles and caverns in search of gold and goblin scalps.
Customization is intimidatingly deep, with character-specific perks, full body outfitting (including left and right hand weapons), skill trees, unlockable moves and four-play co-op.
Its problem isn't any of that - more that there's no unique spin on a genre that, by now, has been done to death. Complex but clichéd.
Dungeon Hunter is solid, playable and enjoyable - but its world feels too hackneyed to endure.

I have had trouble with a 025 Stihl not starting I took the carburator apart and put the air hose to it then put it back together and still no start, so I removed the muffler to see if it could start without any restriction, but no start. Then I happen to look in the exhaust hole and I saw about a teaspoon full of fuel in the cylinder, I tilted the saw every way possible but the fuel didn't come out so I used a paper towel. I guess I have a flooding issue but I'm wondering now if fuel has leaks down pass the rings, could I have a crankcase full of fuel, can the crankcase hold fuel, is there enough gap for the fuel to leak out of the saw at the bottom? Do I have a bomb here? Do I need to break down this thing completely?? Or just try to start it now that I have removed the fuel above the piston?? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Clean the Carb inlet valve apparently it is hanging causing your Flooding Condition . As for the Crankcase Issue if you have any usable compression over 100 # , I doubt any crankcase flooding has occurred. You could remove the Crankcase Breather hose to verify . Normally I just remove the spark plug and leave the Saw overnight . |
Well my 025 didn't blow up. It started up good, and ran well everytime I restarted. Thanks Ewalk, I've learn alot the last couple of days and don't feel so green now. I will now work on my dad's 028 that he gave me last spring, it keeps dying after about 4 seconds after starting. This unit has 150lbs compression so I'm going to put a carb kit, cause I have put the air hose to it already. |
Cue: A New Carb Kit although it may be necessary on an older saw normally is not the reason for for a poor idle or hesitation stall issues. Poor quality fuel or debris (varnish) with the Primary or Secondary fuel circuits is quite common. I would advise 1st to ensure you thoroughly clean the fuel system with a concentrated carb cleaner both within the fresh fuel mix (2 ounces) and spray within the High and Low Speed Jets and Carb Venturi Throat . Let the Cleaner sit for approx 1/2 Hr prior to attempting a start . 90 % of the time gumming of fuel is the cause of your fuel restriction concerns , especially with ethanol based fuel or a saw which has sat unused for a extended period. Just the opposite of your flooding problem , but with the same origin "Bad Fuel" . Give it a try 1st . |
This old 028 AV Wood Boss has not cut wood in over 5 years. I had found the fuel line where it connects to the fuel filter completely melted to a mushy mess. Have replace the fuel line and filter two days ago and after adding clean new fuel I got the hesitation stalling issue. Will go today and get some carb cleaner to try your tip to clean the carb. |

Socioeconomic disparities in access to HIV treatment programmes in resource-limited settings
Date: Poster sessions AbstractThe objective of this study was to determine whether there were socioeconomic differences in the profile of HIV-positive people living in the community and HIV- positive patients presenting for hospital-based outpatient HIV care and related services. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Limpopo province, South Africa among 776 HIV-positive people aged 1835 years, including 534 consecutive patients who presented for care at a hospital-based outpatient HIV clinic, and 242 people living in the community. People presenting at the clinic had a higher overall socioeconomic profile compared to the community sample. They were more likely to have completed secondary education (P<0.001), less likely to be unemployed (P<0.001), and more likely to live in households with access to a private tap water supply (P<0.001). These differences persisted after multivariable adjustment. Important socioeconomic differences in uptake of hospital-based HIV care were identified among HIV-positive adults living in a rural region of South Africa. This suggests an important limitation in hospital-based HIV care and underscores the need to monitor the equity implications of antiretroviral treatment scale-up in resource- limited settings. |

First of all, looking back at old posts was VERY interesting. You could feel the sense of panic and despair back 2-3 years ago. It's not quite as palpable now. That is a good sign, I think. I'm not saying things are say, 2004-level rosy, but the overall tone is much more upbeat.
Anyway, so I am prepping my house to put on the market and at first it was overwhelming. The house is not in bad shape at all, but it's not ready for the market. We have done extensive remodeling, repairs, improvements, maintenance, etc., so there's not a lot of huge things that need to be done--just a ton of tiny ones, know what I mean? I was so overwhelmed that I sort of just froze and didn't do anything except read stuff on the internet and think about what needed to be done (as opposed to doing it). Then I realized that there is no way it is ever going to get done if I don't start. So this is what I did: I told myself that I only need to do ONE thing a day. That thing can be as simple as packing a box. Or ordering boxes. Or making a phone call. Or ordering stuff to use for staging. Internet surfing without a purpose (like ordering boxes or something) does not count because if it did, that's what I would do as my one thing every day. So far, since I instituted my plan of "do one thing a day," this is what I have done:
There's probably 4-5 more things too but here's the kicker--I only decided to make this "one thing per day" rule on Thursday. It turns out if I just tell myself that I only need to do one thing a day, I do the thing and that makes me want to get more done. Motivation follows Action--that really is true. I just thought I would share. If others are in the same stage as me and feeling sort of paralyzed, it is something to try. Who knows how long it will work, but for now it's just what I needed. Still trying to decide whether to list the house when it should be ready (thinking first of October or mid-September) or wait until early spring. It's a big house with an inlaw suite, and it's been my experience that people who want an inlaw suite are year-round shoppers, because we've put one in every house we've bought and so we've sold a few now. I dunno, though. The largeness of the house suggests that it will appeal to families, but two of the three people who tried to buy my last house were older with no children. Hmmmm. |

My Mom is moving in 40 days and I have been elected to stage her home for sale afterwards since I had such good luck selling mine in SoFla in '07. Both the new and the old homes are roughly in the same town as is my own, so moving/borrowing pieces is easy. Every single square inch of the house she is selling is in excellent condition- those are our pros. The cons are that this will not be the optimum time to offer a house for sale and the resistance I get from her "not liking" how I am decorating a home that her mother built decades ago. She understands in her head but her heart hurts a bit when she hears that I will be replacing some old light fixtures that her mother loved and neutralizing the "every shade of pink and orange known to man" color scheme that permeates the home. Best of luck to all of us trying to sell this fall. |
word_doc will you come help me? Please?! You nailed my paralysis exactly. I'm impressed with your strategy and admire your progress. Although I'm sure I can benefit from your suggestions my situation is anything but straightforward and I'm getting a permanent butt dent from fence sitting! |

I am seeing news and internet stories of bidding wars in home buying these days. Apparently, there is just not much in the way of nice homes on the market in some areas since people are postponing listing their homes until the economy picks up. Good luck. |
- Posted by cearbhaill (My Page) on Sun, Jul 8, 12 at 20:12
The home my mom bought had three offers the first day it was listed. People were ready. |
Not to sound mean, but GET IN THE GAME! :) You will never sell if you don't get your house on the market. Nothing will ever be perfect so do your best to get your list completed so you can put yoru house on the market to get it sold. We weren't as fortunate as others to have ours sell quickly and we felt the quicker we got it listed the better chance we had of selling it as we knew we would have to be patient and wait it out(easier said than done). Took us roughly 9 months from being listed to closing which required a lot of patience and a lot of prayer! Good luck! :) |

I agree that things are looking up. I think that prices are rebounding somewhat and people have come to terms with the fact that their house isn't worth what it was at its peak, and they aren't looking to make a quick $50,000 on their house anymore. If you price it correctly, it will sell - at least around here. But that's not news, that's real estate. |
- Posted by weedyacres (My Page) on Mon, Jul 9, 12 at 13:04
When we were prepping, we took one room at a time, did a deep cleaning (including windows), touched up paint and caulk, and staged. That helped with the sense of accomplishments, as a room could be checked off the list, and we'd move on to the next one. |
Thanks for the insights. I actually sort of enjoy this process once I get going. We got the doors painted and updated the door hardware--one by spray painting with oil-rubbed bronze paint and one by buying a new door handle set because I somehow mangled the old one trying to get it off the door. Oops! The doors look great! Yesterday's "one thing" really was just two small things--I touched base with a different real estate agent, and then I started to deep clean one of the rooms. DLM2000--can you do some stuff without making a decision as to what the ultimate outcome will be? Yesterday I realized while deep cleaning a room that it needs to be repainted--was hoping not to have to do that, but I can see it's necessary, so I am adding it to the list. Xclusive, I get what you are saying about just getting in there and getting it on the market--but it's truly not ready yet. I am hoping to speed up the timetable a bit, though! Your blog was cool, thanks for sharing! |
"Xclusive, I get what you are saying about just getting in there and getting it on the market--but it's truly not ready yet. I am hoping to speed up the timetable a bit, though! Your blog was cool, thanks for sharing!" No problem & thank you! Just keep knocking off your list room by room and you will be ready soon enough. I did update the blog with pics of our house the realtor took which were on the MLS. As you will see our wasn't anything fancy at all(no staging), we just focused on keeping our place clean and decluttered (not easy with a 4yr old). My advice: Price it right, keep it clean, be ready for the long haul and alot of prayer and you should be just fine :) Hope it helps and good luck! :) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Our home sell/blog
Be ready for the long haul--yup! We are hoping for a quick sale like everybody else, but if it takes a while, it takes a while. Today we had a handyman come over. We went through the whole house and he made a list. He was recommended by the real estate agent, so everything he does is geared toward selling a home. He was great, LOVED him. He is going to email me soon with a quote for everything. There are several small repairs and a couple of medium-sized ones, plus just general touch-up. I was originally targeting the first of October to list the house (not a good time, I know) but now I think we can shoot for possibly late August/early September. There is no way we can get everything done sooner than that (maybe if I didn't have a full time job?), but when we do list the house, it will be as ready as we can get it. Still a lot to do--lots of packing, lots of cleaning, lots of detail stuff, but we are starting to get there! |

On a recent Wednesday afternoon, Josh Miller, the precocious 21-year-old Princeton dropout behind Branch, one of tech's most buzzed-about new startups, took The Observer on a tour of the Obvious Corporation, a growing operation helmed by the cofounders of Twitter that advises and invests in an elite set of fledgling tech companies, Branch among them.
The San Francisco office radiated industrial California coziness, with tall windows and exposed pipes, dark grey walls and a fridge overflowing with Vitamin Water. Mr. Miller, who is tall and insouciant, with the laid-back linguistic tenor of one who spent his childhood in Santa Monica, bustled about the office, seemingly unthreatened by the fact that he is both much younger and less experienced than the majority of Obvious employees.
"Check this out!" he called from a breezy conference room with a panoramic view of downtown San Francisco. He pointed to a wet bar fully stocked with top-shelf bottles. "You know, I'm just out of college, so sometimes I'm, like, afraid to drink any of this because it's so expensive! It's like, where's the Franzia?" he joked, referring to the cheap boxed wine favored by destitute college students.
Though he will return to New York this month, Mr. Miller has been working from Obvious' offices since January due to the success of Branch, a platform he founded last summer that attempts to make online discussion easier and more worthwhile. The Branch website looks a lot like the comments section of a blog, though with a simpler and sleeker interface, and allows users to host invite-only discussions, ideally between experts or those who are passionate about a given subject.
"Thoughtfulness makes Branch different," Biz Stone, a cofounder of Twitter and one of Branch's advisors, told The Observer via email. "Every decision made in building the platform was given craftsman-like attention, and that sort of attention has an impact on the way people perceive and use the service."
At its core, Branch is an attempt to resolve a raging debate among Internet enthusiasts over how to fix the "online conversation" problem. Website commenting sections have long been the target of Internet trolls and snarky know-it-alls, with anonymity generally exacerbating the problem.
But it's not just about the trolls: One of the far-reaching problems with online discussion is that it's open to everyone—the people we're happy to hear from and also those we'd prefer to ignore. On the Branch blog, Mr. Miller wrote that he sees a "profound power inherent in the open exchange of information." Branch, with its invite-only model and focus on quality conversations among identified users, is one of the first well-backed attempts at revitalizing online discourse, but it's also a gated community seeking to promote intelligent dialogue: unlike most of the Internet, no dumb, off-topic or anonymous opinions are allowed.
Of his initial pitch meeting with Mr. Miller, Obvious Corporation cofounder Jason Goldman said that he believed "Branch was a big disruptive idea and was obvious in the sense that all the best ideas are obvious in retrospect."
Some of Manhattan's media moguls, including Gawker Media founder Nick Denton, have also been experimenting with ways to revamp online conversation. Recently, Mr. Denton told the tech news blog GigaOm that he believes Mr. Miller is one of the most interesting people in tech.
"Josh is working on a hard and important problem—online conversation—that hasn't been solved yet," said Jonah Peretti, cofounder of BuzzFeed and the Huffington Post and one of Branch's advisors. "He really wants to solve the problem and will do whatever it takes to make it happen, even if it is hard, even if it takes longer."
Since last summer, Mr. Miller has morphed from being a Princeton soc major to a college dropout with a half-baked idea to a cofounder of a well-funded, highly hyped company with advisors like Mr. Peretti and Twitter cofounders Mr. Stone and Ev Williams.
"If you had told me I was going to drop out of school, I would have said you were crazy," Mr. Miller announced, after we'd settled into comfortable leather-backed office chairs in one of Obvious' sun-drenched conference rooms. Behind him, a red plastic pig stared out at us from behind a glass dome. "If you had told me I was going to move to San Francisco, I would have said you were crazy. And then three months later move back [to New York]? I would have thought you were fucking insane."
Mr. Miller attributes much of Branch's swift rise to the fact that New York's nimble tech scene yields myriad chances to meet with tech types who are eager to help. "You know how busy BuzzFeed is. But still, Jonah took this random meeting with this kid who had some sketches on a piece of paper," he said, still clearly astounded by his luck.
Up until last year, Mr. Miller was known primarily for his activism in the education sector. While still in high school, he was named a CNN Hero Finalist in the "Young Wonder" category for devising a scholarship program that aimed to alleviate racial tensions following the death of his friend Eddie Lopez, who was killed in a gang-related drive-by shooting. At just 18 years old, Mr. Miller spoke at the Aspen Ideas Festival, before shifting focus entirely to delve into the tech sector.
As a junior at Princeton, Mr. Miller decided to intern at a startup called Meetup. The company's cofounder Scott Heiferman brought him to his very first New York Tech Meetup, an event held monthly at NYU that is typically packed with more than 750 tech enthusiasts.
"It was the coolest experience," gushed Mr. Miller. "The energy of the room was incredible. Especially as someone who doesn't know tech, it was like—oh, my God! People are excited, and they boo when you talk about revenue, and it was just a really cool environment."
It was at this event, under the wing of Mr. Heiferman, that Mr. Miller decided to become an entrepreneur. At a startup workshop, he teamed up with an NYU student named Hursh Agrawal; together, the two devised the plan for Roundtable, an early prototype that would eventually become Branch.
By the time the 48-hour event had ended, and his project had won the competition portion of the weekend, Mr. Miller had found a potential technical cofounder and an idea that he was passionate about.
Eventually, he also persuaded Cemre Güngör, an NYU masters student and part-time designer at twee e-commerce site Etsy, to join the team. In order to woo Mr. Güngör, Mr. Miller told him that they would pay him twice as much as he was making at Etsy, which was a boldfaced lie—Roundtable had absolutely no capital at the time.
"What a hustler," recalled Mr. Gungor via email. "I knew the company didn't have any money, [but] liked the energy of Josh and Hursh so much that I decided to start informally helping out."
With the team assembled and well-known advisors onboard, Roundtable exploded. After it was named one of the 20 hottest startups by Business Insider, investors started indicating interest, and Mr. Miller took a leave of absence from Princeton to focus on his startup full-time, much to the chagrin of his mother.

The other day I got an email from someone named Cynthia. She said she saw my profile on GW and wanted to be friends. Not sure what to make of it, I checked and she did not have a profile. I wondered if this was some one local who just moved here, an invalid/elderly person truly looking for friends, or what. I finally wrote back with two lines, asking where she lived and what type of gardening she did. This morning I get this reply...complete with three sexy photos, lol...
Hello, how are you ?
These people are cruising the GW profiles for suckers now????

Be careful opening emails like that. I deal with this every day in my business. Someone sends in an unsolicited email, someone opens and reads it, and unknowingly a virus or malware gets into the system. Now, it may be that your "Cynthia" is just a person looking for someone to appeal to and send them money (they send out thousands upon thousands of such emails; it costs them nothing and even if they get one out of a million to respond and send money they are ahead). But it also could be an email with something hidden on it. Make sure you have a good virus protector and use a program that 'washes' your internet browser cache clean whenever you end your internet session. Take it from someone who has been hacked. And had to cancel all credit cards, and change innumerable passwords. |
Hi anybody besides me that is getting these types of posts that are actually threatening?? They started seveal years ago when "Money was being transferred to my account from money in several African countries" Since that time there have been several letters from the "FBI" Saying i am moving money from known terrorists .I've generally ignored them but the last two suggest that I will soon have "visitors in the night" if I don't respond.. I turned copies over to the local police but they say they are unable to locate the perpetrators . The last ones have been rather "comical" in that if I don't respond "The mayor of Palm Beach gardens will cause me bodily harm if I don't respond within 48 hours" How serious should i take these and what to do?? gary |
Hi Gary- That is scarey !! My question is -- how would- could they know your address ? is that possible ?? pls. some PC guru, answer this !! Is it possible for creeps like that to find you where you live ?? and how ???? thanx, sally |
Hi In my case they have mentioned the city where I live several times but didn't give a street address. Most of the posts come through "spam" though over the last year they have my web addy. i have never responded to any of the posts. The ones from the "FBI" are supposedly from the "Director" Robert Mueller lol. These say that I'm "laundering" money from various terrorist organizations. The money came from an "inheiratence " from donors in Lagos Nigeria as well as from a bank account in Iraq."Only hope of avoiding serious consequences is to respond and follow the directions." Was rather surprised by the local police response that they can't locate them. They give full web addys as well as street addresses . Why isn't this simple extortion. Not to mention they are posing as police officials.?? I figured they were sending these to a lot of people in the hope of getting a response ??. Have no idea where they got my address though I suspect from buying on line?? You can easily get my web addy from the GW of course. I have never taken them to seriously as whoever is sending them is not too fluent in English. The wording and composition are humorous. Such as . "An immediate response is not only requested it is demanded. We can cause the mayor to visit you during the night as well as confiscate ALL your holdings in overseas banks." By following the simple directions you will not only avoid much heartache but possibly physical AND monetary results."

Gary, those are just more scams from the same African nations. Do a search on some of those scam busting sites and you'll see your "letters" verbatim. so it's not just you! Lori http://federalism.typepad.com/crime_federalism/2008/09/fbi-scam-e-mail.html |

In my case they have mentioned the city where I live several times but didn't give a street address. Your computer tells them your general location--they don't even have to look it up, just use a program that fills it in for them. Go to google news, for instance, and look at the left side of the page, or the state-specific info on the right. It knows roughly where you are, unless you are using a browser in stealth mode. |
I'm NOT a computer guru, but I know that many websites can find out your city from your computer's ISP address (they are assigned geographically). I don't know how this could be done through email. However, websites gather a lot of information on you unless you take steps to prevent it. If you give any website your email address they can put it together with your city (from your ISP address). A lot of websites compile databases of these known valid email addresses and SELL them. If you also give them your name they may sell that along with your email and city, too. They may also sell anything else they can get about you - physical address, what products you look at and buy, and if you fill out those forms that ask your gender, age, income, etc., it will also be included. Building and selling extremely detailed databases on individuals is a huge industry. Each website has a privacy statement that is supposed to disclose exactly what information they collect and whether they sell it. (Of course, almost no one reads those.) Some websites are unethical and collect information without disclosure. Even ethical websites that don't sell user information can have their data stolen by hackers from the outside or by an employee looking to make some extra cash. Most consumer databases are legally used by advertisers, but cyber-criminals buy/steal them, too. So, most likely this spammer is using a program to spam everyone on a list - probably thousands of people. The spammers use personalization programs which generate form emails using the correct city for each email address. This accounts for statements that include the recipient's city, such as, "The mayor of Palm Beach gardens will cause you bodily harm if you don't respond within 48 hours." A computer security expert could tell us a lot of other ways that spammers, hackers, and criminals can get creepy amounts of information on us without our knowledge. The web is a scary place. |

I know that many websites can find out your city from your computer's ISP address (they are assigned geographically). I don't know how this could be done through email. Sorry I wasn't more clear. I meant that spammers have programs that automatically insert the data gotten from the IP address into the emails they send out. If you use Facebook, every move you make on your computer is known to many, even what you do on other sites when not logged into FB itself: |

And that's why I don't go on Facebook. I email the people I want to. I don't need the whole world to know my business or see every vacation pic I take. Have you notified anyone at GW about the emails? |
Hi Guess I will continue to ignore the posts lol Was warned long ago about "buying"on line but so far have had no trouble. Love shopping on line due to the convenience. i do worry somewhat about "electronic transfer" of funds but WOW it's such a great way to shop and pay bills. But ,so far , everything i've bought was exactly as represented. Guess the "delete button is there for a reason?? gary |

Make sure you see the https at the top of the web address (URL) you are using. Look up at the one right now and you will see there is no https. iVillage , that owns Garden Web is notorious for selling our info. Here is a Wiki definition: The main idea of HTTPS is to create a secure channel over an insecure network. This ensures reasonable protection from eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle attacks, provided that adequate cipher suites are used and that the server certificate is verified and trusted. |

Gary, if you use Mozilla Firefox as your browser, there are options to keep you private and not let yourself be tracked. I love it and it's free. Lori |
- Posted by writersblock (My Page) on Thu, Nov 3, 11 at 9:17
>there are options to keep you private and not let yourself be tracked This is in most browsers (maybe not IE--haven't checked recent versions, but all others I can think of), but its effectiveness varies substantially, and it won't protect you from places like facebook where you automatically grant them permission for all sorts of things just by signing up. It's better than nothing, though. There are more substantial programs just for this, like Ghoster for mac, but none of them are 100%. |

Student Projects
Eight Children Development & Family Studies participated in a unique opportunity, called "Building Bridges", that was offered at the 7th Eden Alternative International Conference, in Nashville. Building Bridges: Bringing Elders & Youth Together Through Story & Understanding is a fun, service learning experience where participants have the opportunity to see aging through new eyes and experience the power of story (legacy) in collaboration with an Elder storyteller. By our definition, an Elder is someone, who by virtue of life experience, is here to teach us how to live. Creating opportunities to learn about and promote a fresh perspective of what Elders and youth have to offer one another is the first step toward creating well-integrated, supportive communities. The Eden Alternative is an international non-profit organization focused on transforming perceptions of aging and quality of life for Elders and their care partners.

He is implicated in several murders but the police are never able to tie him to the crimes. He is proven innocent but didn't like Patrick Jane's rude insults. The two apparently reconciled later as Patrick Jane hired him to steal the suspect list for the CBI mole from J.J. LaRoche's home. He was caught and brought in. He threatened Jane to drop the charges or he would tell everyone that Jane was the one who hired him. Teresa Lisbon gets the charges dropped by punching him in his nose.
