>Is SIEGE a satanist book?
The author was an atheist that has converted to Christian Identity.
>But muh optics
Fascist revolution is the ONLY solution, there is no radical changes to be made within the (((System))).
>Groups that follow SIEGE (Atomwaffen Division) are honeypots
True opposition will always be called out by (((controlled opposition))) ie: the alt-right, and people that larp as 1930s German Fascists(Nazis) are too far behind to be relevant, it has been tried and failed since the end of WWII, WAKE UP!
What is SIEGE generally about?
It is an analysis of all the Fascist movements since the beginning, and it explains why modern Fascist groups have failed, then proposes the alternative to Total Aryan Victory. It promotes dropping out of the System(Varg style) and also forming a network of terrorist cells to directly disrupt the System and seize power through strategy, tactics and raw violence, might is right.

Is there an extended tl;dr of this somewhere? I started looking at it but it didn't seem organized and I didn't really learn anything. If it's just about dropping out and making terrorist actions to take over society, well then I guess I understand that viewpoint, I think terrorism is generally not morally or strategically justified and a lot of terrorism we see today is faked or created by opposition, possibly including even this book to try to encourage others to engage in terrorism which doesn't work to anyone's benefit but the powers that be

Dear God all this nonsense and no one has posted the pdf or video? I'm phonefagging but will upload later if another anon doesn't. Perhaps a read or re read of Masons work will help to educate this board. This board is and will remain a board of peace.

Imagine basing your guerrilla war strategy on a retard with no military experience that loves Charles Manson, and not the extensive body of knowledge formed by experienced commanders. Read the Brigade, War of the Flea, Fry the Brain, the Eric Rudolph biography & any number of other books on infiltration, guerilla warfare & regime change.
Also imagine thinking telling people trying to establish fronts & bases if operation that they're "optics cucking". You Siegefags are glowing trash, here to derail real efforts & Mkultra retards into hitting bad targets. There's an oven with your name on it.
Post it to the library. Its an example of what NOT to do.

I agree with you. SIEGE is a pep talk with little bits of useful advice sprinkled in. It's no bible. None of the other works bandied about are perfect either, but they're much more realistic and actionable.

done and yes I agree with you. Still for the younger men a good read.
This is totally a strawman of what Siege was trying to convey. Mason was forming the ideology of what must be done and WHY. It was never supposed to be a step by step guide for operating. Fat fuck Harold Covington was an unlikable obese man that had retarded ideas (like believing that you can succeed from the system and they won't crush you). You are just terrified that people might actually start acting for their race and you might have to change your LARP lifestyle.
I love these threads because it makes all the shill, schizos and retards come out of the woodwork to whine about optics and call anyone doing something a fed/kike or whatever.

I'm also a retard who should have been shouted at, I neglected to read the links in the OP. Thanks for no bully. PDF sits in the library.
Pathetic response. There's no shortage of good targets. How about a series of assassinations of Leftist academics for example? Sow some real fear & uncertainty. But your kind won't touch them, since you're a combination of glowniggers & retarded NEETs that got Mkultra'd. You'll just sperg out and shoot some old fat woman instead, with no clear message sent.
>Anyone that doubts my glownigger-created worship of a provably ineffective brainlet strategy inspired by a hippie cultist is a shill.
It's indeed still worth the read, and everyone should. But thinking it's some sort of bible of effective strategy, combined with the endless authority appeals to "but Mason said x" needs to fucking stop. It's being pushed far too hard, over and above far better material. Whole thing smells of fed.
One of the problems, if not the biggest problem, is that when people here think "terrorism" they think "suicide mission to shoot up the local synagogue/walmart/school and kill a bunch of relatively innocent nobodies", which will NEVER accomplish anything.

Those are coffin liners that have nothing to do with FEMA. They're really an example of how things that are totally innocent can be used as evidence for insane concentration camp conspiracies, much like the Holocaust's "death showers".

Oh look it's been nearly 10 days since my post and no responses, not surprising considering you don't have a fucking shred of evidence.
Seems kind of schizo to me. If they were killing a lot of people wouldn't mass graves be easier? Just dump the bodies in an old quarry or something and use bulldozers to push dirt over them. As for the rifles and ammunition, 7000 rifles wouldn't do shit against hundreds of thousands of people probably above average in armament, fitness, and awareness. While 2 billion rounds of ammunition might sound like a lot what timeframe is this in? If it is over the course of several years it could make sense given the size of the US. It makes sense to get HP rounds (although the image doesn't specify how many of each ammo type) too since most people they would be shooting, even muh FEMA deathcamps aside, would not be wearing body armor.

When lots of people die, they just dig a hole and call it a mass-grave.
You don't need coffins to kill people or get rid of them.

BP will not alter terms of agreement with TNK for early money receipt by Russian shareholders
The British Petroleum oil company has announced that it does not see any possibility to change the terms of the agreement on the joint venture with the Tyumen Oil Company (TNK) to enable its partners to receive money prematurely, The Independent writes.
Earlier, The Financial Times, another British newspaper, published an article, which said that the Russian shareholders of TNK-BP wanted to accelerate the receipt of money within the framework of the companies' merger.
The shareholders that concluded the transaction on the establishment of TNK-BP received $3 billion in cash, when the transaction was signed in August last year. In the coming three years they are to receive another $3.75 billion in the form of BP shares. However, now they are trying to persuade BP to pay them the remaining money at once and in cash so that they can invest funds in other undertakings.
As The Independent writes, a BP public relations officer said the other day that under the agreement signed last year with Russia's Alpha-Group and Access-Renova, these Russian businessmen are to stay the shareholders of TNK-BP at least until 2007 and get the remaining sum due to them in the form of BP shares during three years in three equal portions. The first portion of $1.25 billion is to be paid to them late in August this year. We concluded an excellent package of agreements, the BP representative said. We expect all the partners to abide by these agreements.
Earlier, one of the shareholders of TNK-BP, Viktor Vekselberg, stated several times that he would prefer to get cash instead of BP shares to invest these funds into new undertakings.

The Delicious Fresh Fruit You Can Find in Costa Rica
Roadside fruit stands are a delightful culinary experience not to be missed while traveling through Costa Rica. The country's tropical climate and fertile volcanic soil create excellent conditions for a wide range of fruits to flourish. Although travelers may be familiar with fruits such as mango, papaya, pineapple, bananas, and coconut, Costa Rica offers a wide variety of nutritious and tasty tropical fruits, which stand out for their freshness and exotic flavor.
Below are the top five must-try delicacies no traveler should miss on their next trip:
The Nance is a small yellow berry with delicate skin and a white pulp. It grows in clusters, which acquire a penetrating aroma. They are sweet and slightly bitter. The tree can be found in Costa Rica's dry forests, savannas and coastal areas, such as Alajuela, Puntarenas, and Guanacaste. Nance fruit is often used to prepare beverages, craft liquors, ice cream and desserts. It is a rich source of vitamin C and fiber.
Guaba
In Costa Rica, Guaba is synonymous with luck. When someone is particularly lucky, they are called "Guabero". Not to be confused with guava, the Guaba tree can measure up to 50 feet high and produces beautiful flowers. The fruit pods vary in size and shape, but have a woody bark that contains black seeds covered in a white cottony layer of delicate sweet flavor. Due to its flavor and texture, it is also known as the "ice cream bean." Guabas are usually available during the rainy season and are often used as an ingredient in salads and ice cream. Its seeds are often used to create jewelry, usually necklaces or earrings, which can be found in craft markets throughout Costa Rica. This fruit is rich in vitamin C, fiber and other micronutrients.
Cas
Cas is a small round green fruit that can be found throughout Costa Rica. The skin is thin and the pulp is fleshy and juicy. Cas juice, which is made with ripe Cas, is tart—somewhat similar to lime or lemonade, but has its own unique flavor. It is a Costa Rican staple during mealtime. Cas is available throughout the year, but is most common from November to August. This fruit is rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber and potassium. It is also used to make ice-cream.
Mamón chino
Mamón Chino is an exquisite round fruit covered in an intensely bright red skin, which is protected with soft thorns. The trees grow in clusters and can reach up to 65 feet in height. Mamón Chino is typically found in the southern regions of Costa Rica, where small and large producers, especially from the Corredores area, produce high quality fruit. The sweet and juicy pulp is consumed fresh, and is the ideal ingredient for the preparation of desserts, salads and drinks. Mamón Chino is a rich source of vitamin C, potassium, fiber, vitamin A and other beneficial components for health.
Pitahaya
Pitahaya belongs to the cactus family, is native to Mesoamerica and is also known as dragon fruit. The plant grows in dry stony areas, and is resistant to drought. In Costa Rica, it is found in tropical dry forests—mainly north of Puntarenas and Guanacaste. It is also possible to find the plant in some dry areas of the Central Valley. The Pitahaya fruit is oval-shaped with a bright pink and scaly surface. The pulp is soft and translucent, with multiple tiny black seeds—similar to that of grapes. The fresh pulp is a common ingredient in desserts, drinks, salads and ice cream. On the Costa Rican Colón, the Pitahaya appears as a symbol of the country's natural heritage. This fruit is rich in vitamin C, iron, phosphorus, potassium and fiber; it is also a rich source of antioxidants.
But these are just a few of the many delicious fruits found in Costa Rica, the Guayaba, for instance, is similar to Cas in appearance but they are bigger in size and they are firm, they can be enjoyed by itself or can be used in juice, it is also used to make delicious jelly and jam.
Guanabana known as soursop is also widely found in Costa Rica and because of its creamy texture it is used specially for fresh juices and in ice cream.
Manzana de agua (water apple) or Malay apple is an exquisite fruit that is easy to find during the summer months in Costa Rica, many people eat it with salt, while others prefer it alone or use it to make juice.
The Caimito or "Star apple" is also commonly found in the farmer markets, it is purple and round, it has a sweet flavor with milky juices inside, it is said to have a lot of anti-oxidant properties.
Last but not least, the Jocote are easily found in Costa Rica particularly during the summer time, the small fruit can be enjoyed unripe when their taste is more tart (add salt to it) or ripe when they are juicy and sweet.

Corporate Media Turns Starvation of Syrians Into War Propaganda
Red Cross cannot confirm Syrian Army responsible for atrocity
Kurt Nimmo | Infowars.com - January 9, 2016 Comments
Over the last few days the corporate media has focused on the Syrian town of Madaya in the countryside outside of Damascus. Reports say the Syrian government has laid siege to the town of 40,000 people and is forcing starvation on the residents.

— ABC News (@ABC) January 9, 2016
"Thousands of people are dying from starvation inside two besieged towns in Syria. In line with their usual tactics, Bashar al-Assad's forces and Hizbollah are wielding the weapon of hunger against Madaya and Zabadani," The Telegraph reports. The Telegraph and the corporate media claim to offer objective reporting from sources in Syria, and yet do not cover reports stating the Isalamist groups Ahrar al-Sham and al-Nusra are responsible for starving the people of Madaya.
The International Committee of the Red Cross has issued a statement saying it cannot confirm the images posted on social media of starving children in Madaya and other cities. Despite this lack of confirmation, the media in the West continues to report the Syrian Army and Hezbollah are responsible. Sources tell al-Manar the Islamists are responsible for starvation in the city, not the Syrian Army. Al-Manar is a Lebanese satellite television station affiliated with Hezbollah.
Take #Madaya: the town is occupied by Al-Nusra and Ahrar Al-Sham, both terrorist groups but it's #Assad who's starving the people… — Enrico Ivanov (@Russ_Warrior) January 9, 2016
Ahrar Al Sham must be pressured to allow the civilians to escape #Madaya

People in #Madaya are besieged, but the media won't tell u the town is infested by Ahrar al Sham, which is also starving Fuoa and Kafraya. — Partisangirl (@Partisangirl) January 9, 2016
The same sources noted that according to [the] Zabadani agreement [a UN mediated ceasefire], scores of trucks that hold humanitarian aids are scheduled to be sent to the town in January and that dozens of trucks that convey medical and food stuffs, which match the locals' needs for months, were sent to Madaya, adding that the terrorist groups confiscated them and sold them to the inhabitants.
Omitted by CNN, BBC, al-Arabiya, al-Jazeera, SkyNews, al-Nahar, Turk Press and several other Saudi and western-affiliated news media are reports from the towns of Foua'a, Kafria in Idlib and al-Zahra and Nubl in Aleppo where the Jaish al-Fatah—a terror group linked to al-Nusra, Ahrar ash-Sham, and Jund al-Aqsa, al-Qaeda and reportedly the Islamic State—is attacking thousands of Shiites. Earlier this week Jaish al-Fatah attacked Foua'a with Grad missiles, but this was not reported by the corporate media.
The so-called coalition led by the United States is on record as targeting food. In September, 2014 air strikes hit grain silos in northern and eastern Syria, killing civilians.
The corporate media echoed the Pentagon and issued a now typical disclaimer for the action: "The aircraft may have mistaken the mills and grain storage areas in the northern Syrian town of Manbij for an Islamic State base."

Come unto me, you tired ones–try our spikes
"Sorry, no room in the inn." "Come unto me you who are weary and heavy-laden. These aphorisms came immediately to mind when I just recently–for the first time, I must admit–ran across the photos that appear below. Both of these are from the New Testament, to which I add a third from the Letter of James: "What good is it to wish a person peace and well-being when that person stands in need of food or clothing or shelter?"
I've been aware of homeless persons ever since I worked in a church in Albuquerque and then moved to Chicago in the 1950s. My relationship to them was mainly to give them a few dollars or buy them a sandwich. The church had a discretionary fund (the "Good Shepherd Fund"), which allowed me to send them to a diner across the street. We had an agreement with the diner that anyone we sent would be served a meal, billed to the church. I officiated at two burials, arranged by a charitable mortuary, for homeless men who died with no known relatives. When I lived briefly, in the 1980s, in Berkeley, California, where good year-round weather attracts people who are down and out, I noted that the city set aside areas where those who lived in their cars could park unmolested for the nights. The sprawling university campus offered many secluded spots for sleeping. But I never probed more deeply into the issues of homelessness.
I know that homelessness is a problem for cities, but it never dawned on me that we would lay down beds of spikes to make open spaces unsleepable. A Google search reveals that cities around our country and in Europe are taking recourse to spikes–see the internet links at the end of this piece.
We know that homeless men and women want to live in decent lodgings, but for many reasons cannot–poverty being the main reason. We don't provide housing (dormitory-like shelters don't qualify as proper housing), but we want them out of sight. As one blogger writes, "we should not presume to think that sitting and sleeping is the only major front that People Who Surely Don't Have Anything Against the Homeless But Would Rather Not Be Reminded Of Their Existence are waging." (http://vsbrian.com/2014/06/10/war-on-homeless/). In 2006, Orlando, Florida, passed an ordinance against feeding the homeless in public. Several charitable groups have been the object of legal measures taken by the city to halt their efforts to provide food for the homeless who had settled in a public park.
What's the underlying issue here? We have come dangerously close to accepting the homeless situation as a problem that we just can't solve. We don't seem to have the will to solve it. Susan Sarandon gives us a clue: "If you walk down the street and see someone in a box, you have a choice. That person is either the other and you're fearful of them, or that person is an extension of your family." Homeless men and women are the Other, and since pre-historic times we have been unable to live satisfactorily with Others. We've frequently killed them, ostracized them, persecuted them, and otherwise gotten them away from ourselves. Some communities don't want mosques in their midst, or half-way houses, or homeless shelters, or food pantries.
Jesus said and did a great deal about the Other. He spoke about the Neighbor and love for the Neighbor. When he was asked, "Who is my neighbor," he pointed to every person we meet. Susan Sarandon had it right when she compared the Other to our family.
I recall an incident from the 1960s in Hyde Park, Chicago. Some readers may know that Hyde Park prides itself on being a liberal community. As a student, I was working for alderman Leon Despres in an effort to have public housing units included in the urban renewal project that was getting underway–the first of its kind in the nation. Architects drew up plans that placed a dozen units of public housing in the center of the project. A public hearing was scheduled, and I expected widespread approval of our efforts. However, to my surprise, there was opposition to the public housing by some people who complained, "I paid a lot of money for a townhouse in this area, and the public housing units look just like my house. People won't be able to tell the difference." The Other–we don't want them to look like family. Homeless persons show that they understand this when they say, "We are unwanted persons."
Today, the Others are getting closer and closer. In previous centuries, white Europeans went to the lands of the Others and dominated them in imperial fashion. Now the Other has come to Europe and the United States–and every nation involved is feeling threatened. Britain no longer accepts every resident from a Commonwealth country as a citizen. Germany restricts rights of the Turks (mostly Muslim), who came in the 1950s because Germany suffered from a labor shortage. France, Denmark, and others experience frequent protests against foreigners. The European Union wants North African countries to prevent refugees from sailing to Italy. Trends indicate that within forty years white Americans will be only a minority of the nation's population. We recall that we welcomed Africans to our shores, beginning in the 1600s and continuing until the 1860s–as slave laborers. As I write, Baltimore is being devastated, as was Watts, Los Angeles, and the west side of Chicago in the mid-1960s. These are upheavals against the Other, far from viewing them as family.
You may not agree that the homeless are viewed by many of us as Other, not neighbor, not family. But I cite Dennis Kucinich: "We have weapons of mass destruction we have to address here at home. Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. Homelessness is a weapon of mass destruction. Unemployment is a weapon of mass destruction." I would add that lack of sensitivity for and defensive action against the Other are also weapons of mass destruction.
We have a deep spiritual issue–alongside the political and economic dimensions–and I am quite sure that spikes are not the answer.

Turkish media reports say three men—a Russian, a Kyrgyz, and an Uzbek national—carried out the attack that killed 42 people.
—Turkish media, citing government officials, say a Russian, a Kyrgyz, and an Uzbek national were behind the attack on Istanbul's Ataturk International Airport Tuesday night that killed 42 people and wounded more than 200.
—Three suicide bombers, whom officials suspected belonged to the Islamic State, opened fire and blew themselves up at the airport, one of Europe's busiest.
—We're live-blogging the aftermath of the attack, and you can read how it unfolded below. All updates are in Eastern Standard Time (GMT -5).
June 30 at 8:12 a.m.
Turkish media and officials are reporting the three men who attacked Istanbul airport were foreign nationals: Russian, Uzbek, and Kyrgyz. The death toll from the attack now stands at 42, according to Anadolu, the state-run news agency.
A total of 13 suspects were detained in Istanbul on June 30 over the deadly suicide attack at the city's main Atatürk Airport on June 28 blamed on the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) jihadist group.
Police conducted raids on 16 different addresses in Istanbul in the morning hours, detaining 13 suspects, including three foreign nationals, during the operation.
The Istanbul Governor's Office said the dead included 10 foreign nationals, including three who had dual nationality. The office also said that of the 239 people wounded in the attack, 109 had been discharged from hospital.
June 29 at 7:48 a.m.
Reuters, BBC, AP and others report the number of dead has risen from 36 to 41 between early Wednesday morning and Wednesday afternoon, citing Istanbul's governor. The number of injured has risen from 147 to 239.
Two South African tourists, Paul and Susie Roos from Cape Town, were at the airport and due to fly home at the time of the explosions Tuesday. They were shaken by what they witnessed.
"There was a huge explosion, extremely loud. The roof came down. Inside the airport it is terrible, you can't recognize it, the damage is big," said Ali Tekin, who was at the arrivals hall waiting for a guest when the attack took place.
Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told reporters outside Ataturk airport that 36 people had been killed in the attack. The dead included five police officers. He said 147 people had been wounded, adding the three attackers blew themselves up.
He said the initial investigation suggests the Islamic State was behind the attack, but "we are still working on determining the cause." He said the attackers had come to the airport by taxi. He said by 2:22 a.m. Wednesday local time "air traffic is back to normal and flights have resumed" in Turkey.
This is at least the sixth major attack to hit Turkey this year. Earlier this month, the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (TAK) killed seven officers and four civilians in Istanbul; in March, the Islamic State was blamed for a suicide attack in Istanbul that killed four people; earlier that month, a car bomb claimed by TAK killed 34 people in Ankara, the Turkish capital; in February, a TAK attack killed 29 people on military buses; and in January, 11 Germans were killed in Istanbul by a Syrian bomber. (All the numbers come from the BBC.) In 2015, there were at least three major attacks in Turkey that killed more than 100 people. ISIS claimed responsibility for two; TAK for one (which occurred at Istanbul's other airport).
It is not yet clear who was behind the airport attack, but terrorist organizations often target such crowded places, known as "soft targets," where the number of casualties can be high. In March, suicide bombers killed 16 people and injured many more at Zaventem airport in Brussels. Another 16 people were killed the same day in a bombing at a Brussels metro station. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the coordinated attacks.
In Washington, the White House said President Obama has been briefed on the attack. In a statement, White House spokesman Josh Earnest called the assault a "heinous terrorist attack" and reiterated the U.S.'s support for Turkey, a NATO ally.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the attack "should serve as turning point in fight against terror around the world," according to his spokesman, who tweeted his comments.
#Turkey President @RT_Erdogan: "The bombs that exploded in Istanbul today could have gone off at any airport in any city around the world."
#Turkey President @RT_Erdogan: "For terrorists, there is no difference between Istanbul+London, Ankara+Berlin, Izmir+Chicago, Antalya+Rome."
Facebook has activated its safety-check feature, which allows users near the Ataturk Airport to mark themselves as "safe" and alert their Facebook friends to their status.
Multiple casualties and wounded reported at Istanbul Ataturk International Airport in #Turkey. U.S citizens are advised to avoid the area.
This is the second airport in Istanbul to be attacked in recent months. Last December, an explosion at the Sabiha Gökçen International Airport killed one person. A group known as the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (TAK) claimed responsibility.
No one has yet claimed responsibility for the explosions, but Turkey has been the target of several recent attacks both by the Islamic State, which operates in neighboring Syria, as well as Kurdish separatist groups, some of which Ankara views as terrorist organizations.
The Syrian civil war next door has created turmoil in Turkey. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was quick to call for Bashar al-Assad's ouster soon after the conflict began more than five years ago. But the civil war shows no sign of ending, and millions of people who have fled the fighting have made Turkey their top destination. This has also allowed some members of the Islamic State to cross over and operate inside the country. Add to this restive climate, Turkey's decades-long problem with Kurdish separatists. That conflict, which had eased in recent years, has escalated in recent months, with Turkish troops bombing Kurdish rebel group's some of which are fighting against Assad, and those groups, in turn, attacking Turkey through bombings and other means.
Turkey's state broadcaster TRT World reports dozens of police, medics, and firefighters have been dispatched to the airport. The wounded are being treated at the site. TRT says Turkish Airlines staff are among the injured.
CNN Turk and other news organizations report 10 people have died after the explosions, citing Turkey's justice minister.
CNN Turk is reporting that taxis outside the airport are ferrying the wounded; the airport is on lockdown, the network adds.
More on Ataturk International Airport: The airport is one of the busiest in Europe. It saw 61.3 million passengers last year, according to the website of TAV Airports, which operates Ataturk and four other airports in Turkey and several in Georgia, Tunisia, Macedonia, Saudi Arabia, and Croatia.
CNN Turk is reporting that two explosions, as well as gunfire, were heard at Ataturk airport in Istanbul.
Turkey has been the target of several recent deadly attacks. Some have been claimed by the Islamic State, which operates in neighboring Syria, while others have been claimed by Kurdish separatist groups.

We shape your project around you. For each assignment, we build a team with the skills and experience needed to create the desired outcome and deliver on your business objectives.
We are deliberately structured to allow project management with agility and efficiency, making sure the most appropriate suppliers, materials and methods are used, and expenditure prioritised to give the biggest impact – all without compromising your vision.
We value the journey, and the destination. We embrace open collaboration, preferring conversations and workshops, to presentations and big fancy reveals.
We view each project as a group of smart people working together to make something great, to imagine the new, the next, the better, and then building it piece by piece.
but for creativity, the inverse is often the case. We keep project teams efficient and focused, building a deep understanding of your business developing insights that unlock opportunity, rather than simply scratching the surface.
Bringing real focus to a branding programme is a magical thing. When you focus, everything becomes clearer; the objectives become attainable, the critical path reveals itself and that tricky timeline suddenly becomes a lot more achievable.
Once we've focused, we've also simplified. We've cut out the noise and put what's really important front and centre. We've made things as simple as possible, but not simpler. Brands that embrace simplicity create impact, are memorable, can cut through cluttered markets and create deeper, more enduring relationships.

Q: Chrome extension fails to load when I add icons I've been learning how to make a Chrome extension and have been stuck on just adding an icon for a while now, I've copy pasted code that supposedly works but I keep getting this error:
Could not load icon 'icon16.png' specified in 'icons'.
Could not load manifest.

My code:
{
    "manifest_version": 3,
    "name": "extension",
    "description": "test",
    "version": "1.0",
    "browser_action": {
        "default_icon": "icon48.png"
    },
    "icons": {
        "16": "icon16.png",
        "48": "icon48.png",
        "128": "icon128.png"
    },
    "content_scripts": [
        {
            "js": [
                "test.js"
            ],
            "matches": [
                "https://www.test.com/*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

I've triple checked that every image is in fact a PNG and is of the right size. I have a single directory with manifest.json, test.js, and all three images (as well as a.prettierrc file, although I doubt that has any impact).
If I remove the icons part of manifest.json the extension works perfectly.

A: The error about not being able to load the manifest is likely related to:

"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icon48.png"
},

which is from Manifest Version 2. The "browser_action" field should be changed to:

"action": {
"default_icon": "icon48.png"
},

ASHEVILLE — The signature of former Buncombe County Board of Commissioners Chairman David Gantt was forged on documents approving an employment retention incentive plan for Wanda Greene, according to a civil lawsuit against the ex-county manager and her son.
Buncombe County made good on its plan to sue Wanda and Michael Greene late Tuesday, filing a lawsuit in Superior Court in an attempt to recover hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars officials say were fraudulently acquired through county credit cards, retention incentives and life insurance policies.
Buncombe is entitled to recover from the Greenes three times its actual damages sustained and its reasonable attorney fees, according to the suit.

RELATED: An unnamed county commissioner is tied to questionable gift card spending in the Wanda Greene indictment
The allegations mirror those put forth by a federal grand jury, which has indicted Wanda Greene twice since an investigation was launched shortly after her retirement last summer.
Greene has pleaded not guilty to all charges, which include embezzlement, wire fraud, federal program fraud, conspiracy and money laundering.
Her son, Michael Greene, has pleaded not guilty to fraud and conspiracy charges.
The lawsuit breaks some new ground in alleging forgery of the incentive plan documents, and by stating that Wanda Greene at the time of her retirement in June 2017 "falsely represented" to the county the amount of vacation, sick leave and annual leave she had accrued and for which she was entitled to receive payment.
In a section titled, "Greene received retention incentive payments based upon forged documents," the lawsuit states that on three occasions in 2016 — twice in August 2016 and once in November 2016 — a "Buncombe County personnel action form was executed with the purported signature of David Gantt." The forms approved retention incentive payments to Greene over varying periods of time.
Gantt left office in December 2016. He could not be reached Wednesday by the Citizen Times.
Created by Greene and approved by commissioners in 2014, the retention incentive program was meant to dissuade eligible employees from participating in its more-popular-than-anticipated early retirement program. Ten recipients were to receive an additional year of salary over a three-year period, or it could be advanced for retention purposes "as approved by the board chairman or county manager."
The incentives were ultimately paid out over a shorter time period, documents obtained by the Citizen Times would later show.
Greene received $241,185 — her annual salary at the time the program was created — over an 11-month period from August 2016-June 2017, according to the lawsuit.

Gantt, according to the suit, "did not sign any of the foregoing personnel action forms and did not authorize anyone else to sign" them on his behalf.
The county claims three alleged forgery incidents on or about these dates:
• Aug. 1, 2016: A personnel action form was executed with Gantt's purported signature, approving retention incentive payments to Greene over a 25-month period, running from Aug. 5, 2016-Aug. 31, 2018. It approved retention payments of $4,396 for 55 pay periods, totaling $241,780. Greene secured two of these payments, the suit states.
• Aug. 29, 2016: Another personnel action form was executed with Gantt's purported signature, approving revised retention incentive payments to Greene over a 16-month period from Sept. 2, 2016-Dec. 22, 2017. That form provided for 35 payments of $6,657 each, totaling $232,995. Greene received seven of these payments, the suit states.
• Nov. 21, 2016: Another personnel action form with Gantt's purported signature was executed, approving payments from Jan. 6, 2017-June 23, 2017. It provided for 13 payments of $14,292 each. Greene received 13 of these payments, the lawsuit states. She retired June 30, 2017.
"I am confident that the criminal investigation by the U.S. attorney's office and civil investigation by former Judge Ron Payne will provide Buncombe County citizens with answers to the questions they are entitled to concerning misuse of taxpayer money," Gantt said in a statement Thursday. "I will continue to fully cooperate with both offices to make sure they can give a full and comprehensive report to the residents about all details in this disappointing chapter of Buncombe County history.
"I assume whoever forged my signature on county documents will be fully investigated by the offices handling these matters."
Prosecutors say Greene and her son illegally spent some $200,000 of county funds using their county credit card information and that of others on personal items, including retail gift cards and a monthly phone bill.
The county's lawsuit said the Greenes used county funds to pay for DVDs, doughnuts, a New York City theater ticket, and other purchases at stores such as T.J. Maxx, Target and Toys R Us, among others.
In the most recent indictment announced last week, Wanda Greene is accused of using $2.3 million — originally set aside for settlements in wrongful conviction lawsuits related to the Walter Bowman shooting death case — to buy valuable life insurance policies for herself and other county employees.

She cashed out two policies after retiring and wired a portion of the proceeds to a Tennessee law firm's bank accounts for a real estate closing, prosecutors said. U.S. Assistant Attorney Richard Edwards said in court Wednesday that federal officials have frozen Greene's bank account that was tied to the wire payment.
Greene's wire transfer to the Tennesse firm was "an attempt to defraud creditors, to conceal secret assets, and to avoid detection and liabilities," the county's suit said.
Greene bought the policies through Charlotte-based Consolidated Planning Inc., according to the lawsuit. Federal prosecutors say she primarily worked with one insurance agent, who was identified Wednesday as registered representative and financial adviser Boyd "Bo" Franklin Cauble.
Commissioners have said they were unaware of the existence of the policies. All employees other than the Greenes have reassigned their policies to the county.
While Wanda Greene cashed out her policies, Michael Greene is refusing to reassign his, despite demands from the county, the suit said.
The most serious charges against the Greenes carry a maximum 20-year prison sentence per count and a $250,000 fine. The money laundering charges against Wanda Greene carry a maximum penalty of twice the amount of property that was criminally deprived.
Wanda Greene was hired as an assistant county manager in 1994. The Board of Commissioners appointed her county manager in 1997, and she retired in 2017.
Her son, Michael Greene, was hired in 2005 in the human resources department. He left in August 2017 as a business intelligence manager, his resignation coming the same day the federal investigation was announced.
The lawsuit was filed in Buncombe County Superior on behalf of the county by Asheville attorneys Ron Payne and Philip Anderson.
Attorneys for the Greenes did not comment Wednesday.
Wanda Greene has recently sold her Arden home, Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Edwards said in court Wednesday morning. The county's suit says Greene lives in Henderson County.

Rory Patterson up for sale as Derry count cost of missing out on Europe
Rory Patterson has left Derry City
Lorcan Doherty
By Eoin Wilson
Derry City fans are coming to terms with the shock news that top scorer Rory Patterson has been placed on the transfer list.
And he is joined on the departure list at the Brandywell by defender Shane McEleney.
Just weeks after manager Peter Hutton denied that the striker would be going anywhere, it is understood the former Northern Ireland international has been made available to other clubs due to financial reasons.
The club's failure to qualify for European competition next season, alongside their lowly eighth place finish in the league and their defeat in the FAI Cup final to St. Patrick's Athletic, mean that Hutton has few, if any funds to work with.
Whilst Derry City's League of Ireland rivals have already strengthened their squads significantly, City have added just two new players in Cillian Morrison and goalkeeper Shaun Patton. On top of that, the club have also lost their captain and long-serving midfielder Barry Molloy, who this week agreed to join Crusaders.
Molloy dismissed a new contract offer from the Candy Stripes due to 'seriously reduced terms' and while the club stalled on a second offer, Stephen Baxter made his move for a player that has been at the Brandywell since 2005.
For the club to lose both Molloy and Patterson would be unthinkable to the club's loyal supporters, especially if Derry hope to be competitive next season.
Patterson, who has been an unequivocal success at the club since joining three seasons ago, scoring over 60 goals in that time, has already been linked with a return to Linfield, whom he left to sign for Derry in 2012.
Patterson recently made his concerns about his future public, admitting he had heard nothing from the club since the final day of the season.
"Nothing has been cleared up," he said. "There are rumours going about that the club have to get rid of people to help with finances. I was told I would get a phone call a couple of weeks ago to clear it up but I haven't had it yet. Obviously, it's a massive concern for me because I want to know where I'm going to be playing next year if I'm not wanted at Derry," he added.
"I'm a big boy, I'm not going to cry about it. If the club needs to clear its finances the way it has been put to me, then obviously I'm not going to be there."
Sligo Rovers and newly promoted Galway United have already shown an interest in McEleney, who spent most of last season as second choice behind centre halves Ryan McBride and Aaron Barry.
"While it's disappointing for both Rory and Shane, we have to look at the bigger picture which must be a sustainable club working within its means," said Hutton.

Marg and I read Connie Willis' To Say Nothing of the Dog together and loved it. We agreed to do a buddy read of Willis' more famous novel, Doomsday Book, as quickly as possible.
And now here we are with the discussion, just a little bit later than we had planned.
Doomsday Book is a time travel novel that takes place in the mid-21st century and the mid-14th century. Kivrin, the main character, is a scholar of the Middle Ages and wants desperately to go back in time and experience it for herself. So she does, against everyone's better judgment, and ends up in a small English town outside Oxford and tries to assimilate herself into life in the early 1300s after getting violently ill.
Meanwhile, in the 21st century, there has been a horrible outbreak of an unknown disease and everyone is under quarantine. Willis uses these parallel story lines to show just how much has changed and how much has stayed the same over seven centuries of history, and just how devastating a pandemic can be, if you don't know how to treat it.
And thanks to Marg for reading this with me!
Marg: One of the other major characters was the priest. I found the relationship with the priest to be quite unsettling at times. I wasn't sure for whether he was a friend or foe for a lot of the book. What did you think of him?
Aarti: I ended up really liking the priest. He seemed to be trying his hardest to keep faith and help people even when everything was falling apart.
Marg: He certainly found himself in a very trying position with the matriarch of the house having decided that he wasn't a good enough priest! She would have been enough to try the patient of any man!
Aarti: So true! I suppose that was Willis' way of showing the latent classism that existed at the time. It seems to be present in so many books about the Middle Ages - or really, any age except the modern one.
One aspect of this book I really liked was the juxtaposition of the plague in the 1300s vs. the infection in the 21st century. While not as many people died in the 21st century, there was still the sense of bewilderment and helplessness that was so prevalent in the 14th century.
Marg: We are definitely susceptible to panic in relation to viruses. We saw that a few years ago with the SARS virus and bird flu. Yes, technologically we can react quicker with vaccines and with different levels in care and so many less people die but there is a still a human cost for such outbreaks and that was played out really well on the page.
Aarti: One thing that always upsets me in books but that is very true to life is when people die so abruptly and you have no idea that it's coming and when you think back on your last conversation, you wish you could have said and done so many other things. I think Willis captured this well.
Marg: Another aspect that I thought was very well done was the idea that Kivrin had done so much preparation for her trip back to medieval times but when she got there life and language was actually pretty different. We do kind of blindly accept when historians say this is what life was like, but it is their interpretation of the archeological finds and the literature and historical recordings of the time, so it does make sense that at times the conclusions that are gained might be just a little bit off. After all, there are people who live now who have very different lifestyles so a one size fits all type of generalisation about life in the 21st century wouldn't necessarily work all that well now either.
Aarti: Yes, I liked that, too! I've always wondered how linguists can figure things like that out, and it was interesting to see how Kivrin had to adapt to things that were completely different than what she was expecting. I wish we had more of that - more of learning about the everyday aspects of life and how people lived then, rather than the never-ending desperation to find the drop site. It seemed like Kivrin tried so hard to get to the Middle Ages, and then when she got there, she was just desperate to get back, so we missed a lot of what was really going on then.
Marg: It seems kind of weird to say it given that we are talking a book that is set in the future and features relatively routine time travel, but I did find this book a bit dated in some ways. it's not surprising given the book was originally written in 1992 and our technology has moved forward a lot but it would be hard to imagine a future life without some variation on cell phone technology for example.
Aarti: Yes! That was something that struck me, too - that people were so completely inaccessible in the 21st century, when that would just not really be an option today. There was video-conferencing but no thought of cellular phones. I agree - that detail in and of itself made the book seem quite dated. Especially as I'm pretty sure cell phones existed even in 1992.
Marg: I am trying to think when I got my first cell phone and it probably wasn't for another few years after that so maybe it was only early adopters that had them and it wasn't really obvious how huge a part they were going to play in future life! I think the inaccessibility issue was quite realistic though. You only have to look at big disasters like 9/11 and the bushfires, hurricanes and other natural disasters to know that the telecommunications systems quite often are overloaded and therefore collapse.
Aarti: Yes, that's been made very clear with Hurricane Sandy in very recent history, too. We are so dependent on technology, so when it fails, we are at a complete loss.
Marg: He's in the blurb at least!
I'm taking this book with me on my holiday this week so I'll drop by after I finish. Can't wait to read it!
This is one of my favorite books of all time, and I love that you guys read this together! I agree that it is a bit dated, but the parts of the story that take place in the past really got to me. That little girl...oh, I sobbed and sobbed. Great joint musings on this one today. Two of my favorite bloggers discussing my favorite book!
I adored this book but I ought to do a reread -- it never felt dated to me, but I was so caught up in the emotion and story. I love that you two shared your thoughts, however late they might be! Such fun to read!
This is one of my favourite books of all time, too! I really enjoyed reading your thoughts on the book, both of you. Interesting that you both liked To Say Nothing of the Dog, which for me is enjoyable, but has none of the impact Doomsday Book does. I reread it for the third time a few years ago, and I found it as moving as ever. I think because it was set in the future, the lack of cell phones didn't trouble me - it wasn't commonly used until late in 1990's, and since Willis foresaw a world more interested in travel and health cures than communication I accepted it. I loved the idea of going back in time, and how she shows that it's different than how we interpret - that to me is one of the things that makes this book stand out for me.
I'm glad you both enjoyed it so much!
One of the main themes in Willis' books is communication problems. So we don't get cell phones even in her more recent works - Blackout and All Clear. I do wish she had addressed that technology rather than just ignoring it, but I'm willing to forgive her because she's such a great writer.
Colin is in Blackout - and oh my, he turned out to be a pretty fine adult indeed. Infact I would say adult Colin is my favourite literary character ever.
I love what y'all say about the suddenness of death. I wasn't a huge fan of Doomsday Book -- or, to my unceasing sorrow, of Connie Willis generally -- but I agree that she did that aspect of it very well.
I've been reading so many YA books lately for class and a few that deal with time travel. It got me thinking I need to find an ADULT book that deals with the topic, because I think time travel is super fun in literature. Never heard of the author before, but I'll add this to my list of Eventual Reads Once the Semester Is Over (a very long list...).
The sudden and capricious nature of death was what got to me about this book. Kivrin kept clinging to the stats about survival rates, but the lived experience goes so far beyond statistics. It was awful to watch that happen--and then to see that in the future all those technological advances couldn't halt death any better than the Medieval prayers could.
I think that, like you both, I enjoyed To Say Nothing of the Dog more than this one. The narrative was tighter, overall. But this one was much more moving and intense, so it's hard to make comparisons.
I've seen discussions of the lack of technology in Willis' future settings before, and I think that part of the problem is that she had to keep the worldbuilding consistent. Mobile phones were just starting to become popular in the early 90's, but I guess she didn't predicted how popular they would become, and now she's kind of stuck with that. I say this because this lack was mentioned a lot in relation to Blackout/All Clear, which are more recent - and of course that only makes their absence stranger. Anyway, when it comes to comparing this a TSNotD, I agree with Teresa. I think I preferred it too, but this one moved me more.
I don't want to read this post yet! I so want to read this book.
I LOVED this book when I read it years ago. I still haven't read To Say Nothing of the Dog, but hopefully it will happen soon!
Connie Willis is one of my favorite writers, and this is my favorite book of hers. Great discussion! There are so many plots that wouldn't happen now because of cell phones, but it's true that they don't always work, they get broken, batteries go dead, cell phone service is down, etc. Some New Yorkers couldn't get cell phone service for a while the day after Sandy, right? That's a great point that sarah made that broken communication is a theme that runs through Connie Willis' books.
I'd never heard of this book, but someone else (and not Marg) just mentioned it. It looks really interesting! I might have to add it to the vacation reading pile for next month.
Black out is awesome. Can't wait for that post!

A Boston Detective Is Facing Charges After Allegedly Jerking Off Naked in Public
The 19-year veteran, who was involved in a police-brutality case that the city settled in 2012, is accused of open and gross lewdness.

A Boston police detective is facing charges for open and gross lewdness after he was allegedly spotted naked and masturbating in a hotel parking lot.
The incident occurred on August 19, a humid Wednesday afternoon, outside Spring Hill Suites in Andover, Massachusetts.
A passerby called local police to report that a balding white man about six feet tall was outside of Spring Hill Suites, standing next to a black SUV and pleasuring himself, according to an incident report obtained by VICE. It was just after 2:30 PM.
This wasn't the perp's first rodeo. The day before, a couple saw the same person jerking off on the hood of a red Volkswagen Golf, according to a witness who works at the Spring Hill Suites. The Golf belonged to that employee, who moved his car but did not call police.
Shortly after the call, Andover Officer Joseph Magliozzi spotted a black SUV driving quickly away from Minuteman Road, a quiet street that includes a couple other hotel franchises. When he pulled the SUV over, Magliozzi noticed the man pull up his tan pants and struggle to buckle his belt.
The driver was Seth Richard, 45, a 19-year veteran at the Boston Police department. He had a Glock, a detective badge, and court documents beside him on the front seat. Magliozzi asked Richard where he was going, and the cop replied that he was "on the job" and on his way back from court. Magliozzi asked why Richard was traveling in the opposite direction from his home in Boxford, a suburb about a 20-minute drive away. Richard reportedly responded, "Why not?"
Magliozzi noticed Richard's behavior was "nervous" and "odd," especially for a fellow member of law enforcement, according to the police report. When asked questions, Richard was apparently evasive and suggested he could "lose everything."
Officer Magliozzi, who was later joined by three other cops, called over a witness who had seen the naked guy masturbating. The witness told the officers he was "absolutely" sure Richard was their man, and later added, "I am 50 years old so I can not be 100 percent sure, but I am 95–99 percent with little doubt in my mind."
Richard was arraigned the next day at the Lawrence District Court and released without bail.
Officer Stephen McNulty, a spokesperson for the Boston Police Department, tells VICE Richard was put on paid administrative leave as of August 20. He says he is unable to comment extensively on the incident in Andover, or Richard's suspension, other to say that the department is worried about Richard's mental health.
"We are deeply concerned for his mental well-being and hope he gets the help he needs," McNulty says.
"Obviously in a case like this there is something wrong here," says Thomas Nolan, a 27-year veteran of the Boston Police Department who's now a criminologist at Merrimack College in North Andover, Massachusetts. According to Nolan, when people are charged with exhibition, they usually go through psychological evaluations first.
"Some police officers, like any other member of our community, have mental health issues," Nolan explains. "Unfortunately for the victims of this or whoever had to witness what he was doing, it could have been worse."
The American Psychiatric Association classifies exhibitionism under a group of disorders called paraphilic disorders. Often, people who suffer from paraphilic disorders get their kicks from fetishes that involve people who can't consent.
Though a black Toyota RAV4 SUV with the same license plate described in the police report was parked outside Richard's ranch-style home in Boxford Tuesday morning, no one answered the door. Lieutenant Robert Hazelwood of the Boxford Police Department told VICE that other than a few speeding tickets, Richard has "led a very quiet life here."
Richard's attorney, Kevin Mullen, did not respond to calls for comment in time for the publication of this article.
This isn't the first time Richard's conduct on the force has drawn scrutiny. In 2009, he allegedly beat then 19-year-old Maury Paulino of Dorchester after arresting him outside a Dorchester police station. Paulino says he went to the station to pay a friend's $40 bail, and that the incident started to escalate after his friend's release. Paulino claims that officers were mistreating his friend, so he started to record the verbal exchange with his cellphone.
"Richard got irritated, he got really upset that I was recording," Paulino tells VICE. "He reached for my phone. He told me you're going under arrest."
Soon, Paulino says, he found himself on the floor of the police station, held down by Richard and two other officers who came to his assistance. While he was down, Paulino says Richard punched him, kicked him, and sprayed pepper spray in his face.
"I was in shock," Paulino says. "He was like, 'Stop resisting,' and I was like, 'I'm not resisting, you just hit me.' He was like, 'Shut the fuck up, stop bullshitting.'"
The officers charged Paulino with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, illegal wiretapping, and assaulting a police officer. He was tried and found not guilty in April 2011, and the next year, Boston Police awarded him a $33,000 settlement. Paulino says he would have taken the case further, but the frequent court dates were taking away time he needed to be spending at school.
After the incident, Paulino claims that the Boston Police Department wrote him a letter explaining that because the case was settled, and Richard was never found guilty, he would not be disciplined by the department. BPD would not comment on Richard's disciplinary record or the incident with Paulino for this story
According to public records, Richard earned $114,189 in 2013.
When informed about Richard's arrest in Andover, Paulino told VICE he was "at a loss for words."
"I knew he was pretty power-trippy, I didn't know he would take it that far," Paulino says. "For him to end up naked in a parking lot pleasuring himself where there could be little kids that's pretty disturbing. I hope they discipline him and they take the gun away. You can't have someone walking around the streets thinking that he has all the power and able to be naked."
Richard's next court appearance is scheduled for October 14.

Q: std::forward_as_tuple in G++ 4.5.0 I have a pressing need for the function std::forward_as_tuple, but am restricted to using GCC 4.5.0 (I know this is a bad situation to put oneself into, but it would solve a lot of problems for me, so please keep the snarky remarks to a minimum). The <tuple> header does not seem to contain the function (as it should), so my question is:

*

*Is it hidden in some other header? (This has happened before, but is hard to determine.)

*Is it possible to roll your own implementation? That is: is it implementable with the parts of c++11 that is implemented in GCC 4.5.0? Bonus if anyone actually knows how to do this.

A: Implementation is simple:
template <typename... Elements>
/*constexpr*/ tuple<Elements&&...>
forward_as_tuple(Elements&&... args) /* noexcept */
{
    return tuple<Elements&&...>(std::forward<Elements>(args)...);
}

Don't know in which GCC it appears. According this document variadic templates and rvalue refs are available since gcc 4.3, so it should work for your gcc 4.5 (I hope)

A:
Is it hidden in some other header? (This has happened before, but is hard to determine.)

What's hard about grep?

The <tuple> header does not seem to contain the function (as it should)

std::forward_as_tuple was originally called std::pack_arguments and was proposed in N3059 in March 2010 and first appeared in the N3092 working draft. GCC 4.5.0 was released in April 2010 when the ink was barely dry on that draft.
Feel free to try and use C++11 features in an unmaintained, pre-C++11 compiler, but it's a bit unfair to say it should include features that didn't even exist when the release branch was cut and being prepared for a new release!
You should at least use GCC 4.5.4, using a dot-oh release is just asking for trouble, it will be full of new bugs that are fixed in later 4.5.x releases (although it still doesn't include forward_as_tuple or pack_arguments, they first appeared in GCC 4.6)
You could consider using boost::tuple instead, which attempts to provide a feature-complete implementation even for older compilers.

Asparagus spears should be snapped off when they are 6 to 10 inches above ground level. Keep your harvest period to six to eight weeks or until the stems appear pencil thin. The tips of the spears should be closed tightly. The stalks should be bright green and firm.
It's best to harvest beans when the small seed inside is one-fourth normal size. This ensures your beans will be tender. If you wait, the pods will become more fibrous and the beans more starchy.
Fortunately, there are easy signs that a cantaloupe is ready for harvest. The stem will slip easily from the vine. The surface netting will turn beige. And finally, the blossom end will be soft and smell sweet.
You should harvest your carrots when they are one- to two-inches thick. IF you planted spring carrots, be sure to pick them before the hot weather arrives (for most regions, that is July). Carrots planted in the fall should be harvested before the ground freezes. If you wish to harvest later, be sure to mulch heavily around the vegetables.
Sweet corn shows its ready for harvest in a number of ways. The tip of the corn will feel full through the husk. The silks will be dry and the kernels will appear full. You can easily check the maturity by opening the top of an ear and pressing a kernel with your thumbnail. If it exudes a milky sap, it's ready to be picked.
Cucumbers are best harvested when they are not yet fully matured. Two indicators are a soft spine on the skin and small seeds when cut open. Harvest sizes vary with the variety, but a good gauge is as follows: 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inch in diameter and 5-to-8-inches long.
Eggplants are ready for picking when they are just about full-grown and their color is bright and shiny. When the color dulls and the seeds turn brown, it is overripe.The fruit should be soft and yielding to a gentle squeeze.
The tops will show signs of slowing down by taking on a yellow color. Don't wait until the leaves all turn brown and fall over. Be sure to remove garlic from the ground when plants still have at least some green leaves. You want to remove garlic without damaging the precious heads and retain most of the paperlike bulb wrappers around the bulb.
Depending on how you will use them, harvest onions based on the plant's height. Harvest at 1/4 inch to 1 inch for fresh table use and 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch for boiling and pickling. If you are using them for storage and general cooking, you can harvest when tops have fallen over and necks are shriveled. Mature bulbs will not be dented by fingers. Cure onions by placing them in a single layer or a mesh bag in a dry, well-ventilated area and out of direct sunlight for three to four weeks. Trim tops to one inch when completely dry.
Peas should be harvested when the pods are light green and filled out. A yellow color marks an overripe pod as a flat dark pod indicates they have not fully matured.
It's best to harvest peppers when the fruits are full size and firm. If you wish to harvest a red pepper, leave the fruit on the plant until the color develops.
New potatoes should be harvested two weeks after blooms appear. You can harvest main crop after tops have died down and the ground is dry. Be sure to dig carefully to avoid bruising. It's important to allow surface dry time. Cure potatoes for 10 to 14 days in a dark, well-ventilated place. The temperature should be 45 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Harvest salad greens when their outer leaves achieve normal size. Picking consistently will increase the length of your harvest.
Summer squash are best harvested while they are still young and tender. The skin should be easily pierced with your thumbnail. When squash is cut open, the seeds should be small and soft.
Tomatoes should be uniformly red during harvest and the ends should be firm. (A ripe tomato should sink in water.) A vine-ripened tomato is the sweetest. However, a tomato will continue to ripen off the vine if picked green. If you harvest green tomatoes before frost, wrap them in newspaper and store at 55 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Tomatoes stored this way should last three-to-five weeks. Remember to inspect each week for ripeness.
Mature winter squash will be hard and impervious to scratching by your thumbnail. Harvest squash before the first hard frost with a sharp knife, leaving at least 1 inch of stem attached. They should be cured in a well-ventilated area for 10 days at 75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
Watermelons reveal their ripeness by their color. A melon's underside is yellow when ripe (not white). Also, the tendril at the joint of the fruit stem usually dies when the watermelon is ready for harvest.
