US adds Haqqani Network suicide operations chief to list of global terrorists
Today the US State Department added the Haqqani Network's chief of suicide operations to the list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists. Qari Zakir, who is also known as Abdul Rauf, is now the 10th Haqqani Network leader to be added to the US's list of global terrorists since 2008.
State described Qair Zakir as "the chief of suicide operations for the Haqqani Network and the operational commander in Kabul, Takhar, Kunduz, and Baghlan provinces" in Afghanistan. Additionally, Zakir runs the al Qaeda-linked terror group's "training program, which includes instruction in small arms, heavy weapons, and basic improvised explosive device (IED) construction."
According to State, Qari Zakir "has been involved in many of the Haqqani Network's high-profile suicide attacks and is partially responsible for making some of the final determinations on whether or not to proceed with large-scale attacks planned by local district-level commanders." Haqqani Network fighters who have graduated from his training program have been involved in some of the most high-profile suicide assaults in Afghanistan over the past several years, including the September 2011 attack on the US Embassy and other installations in Kabul; the June 2011 suicide assault on the Intercontinental Hotel, also in Kabul; and a series of massed assaults on Forward Operating Base Salerno in Khost province in 2010. Although it is not mentioned by State, he was also very likely involved in the September 2012 suicide assault on FOB Salerno, which included at least one foreign fighter from Oman.
Qari Zakir is considered to be "a trusted associate and confidant" of Sirajuddin Haqqani, the operational commander of the Haqqani Network. Qari Zakir approached Siraj in 2008 to help with the expansion of the Haqqani Network's operations in northern Afghanistan. In turn, Siraj agreed to fund his operations.
Qari Zakir is an Afghan citizen, and is based out of Miramshah, the main town in Pakistan's Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan. Miramshah serves as the headquarters for the Haqqani Network.
Background on the Haqqani Network
In September 2012, the US finally added the Haqqani Network to the list of global terrorist entities. The Haqqani Network is a powerful Taliban subgroup that operates primarily in the Afghan provinces of Khost, Paktia, and Paktika, but also has an extensive presence in Kabul, Logar, Wardak, Ghazni, Zabul, Kandahar, Baghlan, Kunduz, and Takhar. In addition, the network has expanded its operations into the distant Afghan provinces of Badakhshan, Faryab, and Kunar, according to ISAF press releases that document raids against the network.
The terror group has close links with al Qaeda, and its relationship with Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI) has allowed the network to survive and thrive in its fortress stronghold of North Waziristan. The Haqqani Network has also extended its presence into the Pakistani tribal agency of Kurram.
In North Waziristan, the Haqqanis control large swaths of the tribal area and run a parallel administration with courts, recruiting centers, tax offices, and security forces. In addition, the Haqqanis have established multiple training camps and safe houses that are used by al Qaeda leaders and operatives and by Taliban foot soldiers preparing to fight in Afghanistan.
The Haqqani Network has been implicated in some of the biggest terror attacks in the Afghan capital city of Kabul, including the January 2008 suicide assault on the Serena hotel, the February 2009 assault on Afghan ministries, and the July 2008 and October 2009 suicide attacks against the Indian embassy.
The terror group collaborated with elements of Pakistan's military and intelligence service in at least one of these attacks. American intelligence agencies have confronted the Pakistani government with evidence, including communications intercepts, which proved the ISI's direct involvement in the 2008 Indian Embassy bombing. [See LWJ report Pakistan's Jihad and Threat Matrix report Pakistan backs Afghan Taliban for additional information on the ISI's complicity in attacks in Afghanistan and the region.]
In the summer and fall of 2011, the US and the Afghan government linked the Haqqani Network and Pakistan's intelligence service to the June 28, 2011 assault on the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul and the Sept. 13, 2011 attack on the US Embassy and ISAF headquarters. Shortly after the September attack, Admiral Michael Mullen, then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, accused the Haqqani Network of being one of several "[e]xtremist organizations serving as proxies of the government of Pakistan."
The US military has been hunting top Haqqani Network commanders in special operations raids in the Afghan east, while the CIA has targeted the network with a series of unmanned Predator airstrikes in Pakistan's tribal agency of North Waziristan. Both Siraj and Sangeen have been the targets of past strikes. Mohammed Haqqani, a mid-level Haqqani Network military commander and a brother of Siraj, was killed in a Predator airstrike in February 2010.
On Oct. 13, 2011, the Predators killed Jan Baz Zadran, who was considered to be the Haqqani Network's third in command, in an airstrike in the Miramshah area of North Waziristan. As the top aide to operational commander Sirajuddin Haqqani, Jan Baz served as the Haqqani Network's logistical and financial coordinator and also acquired weapons and ammunition for the network. He is thought to be the most senior Haqqani Network leader killed or captured since the US invaded Afghanistan in 2001.
Top Haqqani Network leaders designated as global terrorists:
Since 2008, 10 top Haqqani Network leaders have been placed on the list; six of them were designated in 2011. All of them have ties to al Qaeda. They are listed below in the order in which they were designated.
Sirajuddin Haqqani, the overall leader of the Haqqani Network as well as the leader of the Taliban's Miramshah Regional Military Shura, was designated by the State Department as a terrorist in March 2008; and in March 2009, the State Department put out a bounty of $5 million for information leading to his capture. US intelligence officials have told The Long War Journal that Siraj is a member of al Qaeda's top council. In April 2010, Siraj said that cooperation between al Qaeda fighters and the Taliban "is at the highest limits."
Nasiruddin Haqqani, one of Siraj's brothers, was placed on the US's terrorist list in July 2010. Nasiruddin is a key financier and "emissary" for the Haqqani Network, and is known to have traveled to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates between 2004-2009 to carry out fundraising for the Haqqani Network, al Qaeda, and the Taliban.
Khalil al Rahman Haqqani, Siraj's uncle, was added to the US's list of terrorists in February 2011. Khalil is a key fundraiser, financier, and operational commander for the Haqqani Network, and has been crucial in aiding and supporting al Qaeda's military, the Lashkar al Zil or Shadow Army.
Badruddin Haqqani, another one of Siraj's brothers, was designated by the State Department on May 11, 2011. Badruddin sits on the Miramshah Shura, is an operational commander of the Haqqani Network, and provides support to al Qaeda and allied terror groups. Badruddin is thought to have been killed in a drone strike in August 2012 but the report has not been confirmed.
Fazl Rabi was added to the list of designated terrorists in June 2011. Rabi is a key financial official for both the Taliban and the Haqqani Network who has also aided the terror group in executing suicide attacks in Afghanistan and has traveled to the Gulf countries to raise money for Jalaluddin and Siraj.
Ahmed Jan Wazir was added to the list of designated terrorists in June 2011 along with Fazl Rabi. Wazir serves as a deputy, advisor, and spokesman for Siraj, has represented the Haqqani Network at the Quetta Shura, and has close ties to al Qaeda's network in Ghazni.
Mullah Sangeen Zadran, who serves as a senior lieutenant to Siraj and as the Taliban's shadow governor for Paktika province in Afghanistan, was added to the list of designated terrorists on Aug. 16, 2011. US military officials have told The Long War Journal that Sangeen is considered to be one of the most dangerous operational commanders in eastern Afghanistan. Sangeen has organized numerous assaults on US and Afghan combat outposts in the region, and is currently holding Bowe Bergdahl, the only US soldier who has been captured alive in the Afghan theater. Sangeen has professed his support for al Qaeda and recently called on Turkish and Kurdish jihadists to join the fight in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
Haji Mali Khan, who has been described by the US military as "one of the highest ranking members of the Haqqani Network and a revered elder of the Haqqani clan," was added on Nov. 1, 2011. Khan was captured by US special operations forces during a raid on Sept. 27, 2011 in the Musa Khel district in Afghanistan's eastern province of Khost.
Bakht Gul, an important Haqqani Network communications official who works directly for Badruddin as his chief of staff, was designated on May 17, 2012. Gul relayed operational orders from Badruddin Haqqani to fighters in Afghanistan, "aids in "the movement of Haqqani insurgents, foreign fighters, and weapons," and has handed out funds to commanders traveling to Afghanistan, State said.
Qari Zakir, the head of the Haqqani Network's suicide operations in Afghanistan as well as the group's operational commander in Kabul, Takhar, Kunduz, and Baghlan provinces, was designated on Nov. 5, 2012. Qari Zakir is considered to be a close advisor to Siraj, and also runs the network's training program.
Jalaluddin Haqqani, who is the father of Siraj, Nasiruddin, and Badruddin and also the brother of Khalil, has not been added to the US's list of terrorists, despite his close links to both the Taliban and al Qaeda. In an interview with Al Somood, the Taliban's official magazine, Jalaluddin admitted he served on the Taliban's executive council, which is known as the Quetta Shura.

is information available on Qari's place of birth & tribal affiliation?

Just a general comment after being on vacation for a month.
Insurgencies have been defeated before. It took the citizenry to be armed and useful in defending their rights and safety. I guess they are just no sick enough of the radicals yet. (or they are not allowed to actually fight)
When the problems come here (and eventually they will) will we be allowed to participate?
Reminds me of neighbors in Detroit burning down crack houses when the "Govt." failed to wipe them out. And that is the only real answer, wipe them all out, every lousy one. An ideology can not be fought by just talking to people. It is like asking the KKK and New Black Panthers to compromise in good faith. Or Al-Queda and Israel to come to an understanding of co-existance.

What's breath taking is that this designation has only just occurred.
Logically, any and all suicide training facilities should be bombed to bits regardless of opfor casualties -- they're dead boys walking, anyway.
Think of it as triage.
Revisionist dreamers fault the USAAF for not bombing the death camp facilities. To do so was entirely beyond the capabilities of 1944 military technology.
However, there is no excuse for not disrupting this strategic center of 'armaments production' which is having such a profound impact on the battle space.

Aug 31st 2008 11:18AM How exactly is the Ambassador title a nod towards old school players? Proper old school players would have levelled up before the reputation boost, meaning that their home city reputations are likely to actually be lower than latecomers, who levelled up after the boost. Not to mention The Draenei/Blood Elf factions, which wouldn't have even existed at the time of levelling and questing.
Unless you're suggesting old school players would have gone to the effort of getting exalted with everyone, I know I haven't.
Bornakk hints at upcoming threat meter {WoW}
Aug 1st 2008 6:58PM Am I the only one who doesn't see the necessity for Threat Bars?
I admit, I've no raid experience post-Vanilla, but back when I was raiding the old-world instances, people all around us were using threat metres, yet we still managed to down MC and BWL in humbly fast speeds, got reasonably deep into AQ and were among the first of the server in downing Naxx bosses, though that didn't last long as we eventually ended up disbanding, but not once did we need threat metres.
Now I realise that this may well have changed with the onset of tBC, and if so, then this has been pointless, but if not, I appreciate that addons help raid encounters and I've as many as the next person, but there is a point were they start doing things FOR you, and even if it may mean you're that much more efficient, you're no longer the one playing the game.
I actually enjoyed getting the *feel* of how much threat was needed to take over after the MTs death at Vaelastrasz, without ruining our MT order we had set up, it wasn't easy, but it made me feel great when we had it worked out. I think that things like threat metres take away from

tidester Posts: 10,109A spoiler on a race car is intended to improve road grip by producing a downward force on the vehicle at high speed. On passenger vehicles including the relatively heavy and non-aerodynamic 4Runner, a spoiler is mostly just decoration with little practical benefit.

julietj Posts: 15The goofy spoiler serves no purpose whatsoever ... if my 4Runner didn't already have one when I got it, I wouldn't have one; in fact, I refused to pay for it. I can't figure out how to take it off without leaving big holes, or it'd be gone! In any case, the rear window gets so dirty in the rain that I can't see out of it, so that's not a good excuse for them either. My best guess is that some people like them, and it's just another expensive ($400) accessory.
tpt Posts: 2Hi all. Have a 2010 Runner 4wd Limited. First week and so far so good. Really enjoy the size, ride and features. Question -- i washed it for the firs time today and opened the rear door -- there was water up all along the inside of the doors (not inside the car) but in the areas where the door meets the car frame and along the bumper under the door. For example the hydrolic arms for the door were very wet. Is this normal? Am wondering if they left out a door seal or something. Thoughts? Thanks.
julietj Posts: 15Unless something has changed since 2003 (the year of my Sport Edition) there should be a gasket around the inside edge of the door where it snugs up to the body of the car, and the outside edge beside the windows, but not the outside edge of the door below the window. Water shouldn't get inside the car, but can get in between the door and the door frame outside the gasket, which is where the hinges are.
boats3 Posts: 42Here is my issue, I know it is going to be difficult to help but here we go. Just got a 2005, and the air ride light is blinking, has anyone ever had this issue and what was the cause. Also, does anyone know what he cause may be? I am going to take the car to the shop but I was hoping for any insight if someone has run into this before. Thanks.
hodapp42 Posts: 2Had a similar problem on my 92 sr5 Runner. Ran perfect until one day, no spark. did everything i could and it ended up being just a loose/bad connection to the battery. this can cause loss of engine power which could affect braking power under adverse conditions (i.e. down a hill). try removing and cleaning terminal connections (checker or place like that sells terminal scrubbing tools for like 5 bucks just ask an employee) and also check/tighten connections to the alternator. hopefully this helps
hodapp42 Posts: 2So it all worked great until one day it made a popping sound as i tried to roll down the back glass on the tailgate and it sort of fell on the right side like it came off track. it still goes up and down just needs help to go straight. Does anyone know if this could be an easy fix if i were to take it off and work on it? Or should i take it somewhere to have it fixed? And where could i take it? Appreciate any help. Thanks :sick:

bluethumper019 Posts: 1I have a 1986 4runner, 4cyl. its been sitting for ten years and i put in a new fuel pump, replaced the alternator, and it has new spark plugs and spark wires. it will start but only after recieving a jump. before the new alternator the batterie would not hold a charge but it hold a good one now. the problem is that it still will not start. it attempts to turn over but just cant do it by itself. what should i do? :confuse:
dave290 Posts: 2oib622, did you ever get a response to your question? I have '95 4Runner with the same problem. I can be driving down the road quietly, hit a small bump and the thing starts howling and I can feel it in the floor board. If I throw it in 4WD it usually stops. Have given the Toyota dealer $4K to fix. They've replaced suspension, tie-rods, wheel bearings, CV's, struts, etc, but it continues...
dave290 Posts: 2Anybody have an idea what may be causing an intermittent, very loud grinding noise coming out of the left front of my 95 4 runner 4x4? Can be driving down the road quietly, hit a small bump and the thing starts howling and I can feel it in the floor board. If I throw it in 4WD it usually stops. Have given the Toyota dealer $4K to fix. They've replaced suspension, tie-rods, wheel bearings, CV's, struts, etc, but it continues.
dsc3507 Posts: 2My Wife's 2001 4Runner has CEL and VSC lights on. A scan shows P1135 which translates to Bank 1 Sensor 1 Heater circuit.
The car has 104,000 miles.
At this point I have disconnected the front A/F sensor and I measure about 2 ohms heater resistance. I also measured the source voltage and it is about 9.5 volts, measured across the heater pins.
I cleaned and reseated the connector and reset the code but it returns after the engine heats up or after driving less than a mile.
At this point I am in a quandary as to what to do. The sensor has never been replaced so it it probably due but the heater seems to be OK by the resistance measurement. Possibly the element could open up as it heats. I am not sure if this is a possible failure scenario.
I am assuming there is only one forward O2 (A/F) sensor in the 2001 4runner? I did check the rear one and it measured a higher heater resistance which I think is expected.
In checking through internet data on Toyota I see there is an A/F relay talked about. Is there one in the 2001 4runner?
Any help or guidance on where to go from here would be appreciated. -
mhuddles Posts: 1I have recently bought a 2004 4Runner SR5 4WD and I am looking for help with 2 problems I am having with it. I do not know much of anything about cars so any help is helpful. When I am driving and press the accelerator I can hear a clicking noise that sounds like it is coming from the engine. The fast I go or harder I press the accelerator the louder it gets. Any ideas? Second problem, I live in the mountains and drive on a lot of steep hills. The traction light in the car is always coming on. A LOT and the engine makes a grinding noise and then sometimes the car starts to beep. It has also staled on me twice when this has happened. If anyone has anyideas please let me know. Thanks
canddmeyer Posts: 384The stalling I have no useful info, but the traction light is probably a sensor going awry. Best bet is to have the dealer tackle the traction light issue. Then if it stalls on them they may also find the stalling issue. They'll have to hook the computer up to a diagnostic tool for the VSC, so it may find the stalling issue too.
As for the engine clicking, I dunno. The V6 engine is known for noisy fuel injectors. The noise though could be many a thing. -
japfan Posts: 4I previously posted a question asking if anyone has had problems with their dash lights going on and off. I am having other problems now as well. The air conditioning is stuck on all the time now! Whenever I turn on the fan, the AC goes on. The switch on the dashboard that is supposed to turn the AC on and off still seems to be working, ( at least it lights up when I push it in). Also, my radio has just stopped working as well. I looked for a fuse that is connected to the radio circuit, and I can't locate one. ( nothing in the fuse box labeled "Radio"). I am going to try and get a TSRM from the library to see exactly how to tear apart the dashboard and locate any fuses for the radio, possibly it may have an inline fuse? I will also have to test the AC switch with a voltmeter to see it that is really working. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
buckeyetom Posts: 1I have a 1995 4Runner with 193,000 miles- 3.0 liter V6. The head gasket was replaced at 135,000 by a mechanic. Recently, after driving for 20 minutes I noticed white smoke coming from the engine. Figured I blew a radiator hose somewhere but was confused as I just replaced the two hoses at the radiator and the 6 hoses by the heater core within the past 2 months.
Upon filling radiator, I turned on the car to notice a fair amount of radiator fluid dripping under the car and coming off the area by the front differential. Unfortunately, I cannot see around the differential from below or down from above to eye ball this leak.
If I blew the gasket again, why is there no water in the oil pan(dipstick clean) or why did I not have smoke from the tail pipe? Seems like this leak has to be something else, as the head gasket only has 50k miles on it. Your thoughts and comments are appreciated. buckeyetom -
duke15 Posts: 161Has anyone else been experiencing steering wheel shaking / vibrating on their 2010 4X4 SR5? I have 3400 miles, and the truck has done this from the start. It becomes noticeable around 60 mph +- 5 mph. Sometimes it is slight, a few times it has been down right violent. Every time it is visible in addition to the odd feeling. Sometimes it doesn't do it at all. I took it back in shortly after buying the truck and they balanced 2 wheels. It went away for awhile, then came back. Took it back in and they balanced all 4 wheels. It went away for a few weeks, then came back.
The service department is normally excellent - I've had my 2002 3rd generation serviced there for 6 years now and have never had better overall service from a dealer. We even drove 45 minutes to purchase from this dealer since we liked their service department so much.
This seems like it might be more than a tire balance issue, but I'm not sure. Is anyone else experiencing something like this with their new generation 4Runner?
Thanks! -
duke15 Posts: 161We are also the only owners of a 2002 3rd Gen 4X4 SR5 with 130K miles on it. We love this truck like no other vehicle we've had and other than one recall on something to do with the steering, it has been great with only routine maintenance.
The problem we have now is super tight turning of the steering wheel. It does not bother my wife, but I have bad shoulders and have stopped driving the truck for the most part. It isn't as bad as not having power steering, but it is tough when parking, etc.
The truck does have some miles on it, perhaps there is a routine maintenance item we missed along the way. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, were you able to address it successfully?
Thanks! -
cdelappe Posts: 6Water pump. As you are driving any leak is going to seem like it is coming from further back then it really is. Even after you stop to check it out. Your best bet is to pull into one of those do it yourself carwashes and spray the undercarriage off move it out and then warm up to operating temp and then look to see where it is leaking from. Or if you have your own pressure washer that would work too. Good luck
cdelappe Posts: 6My 90 4runner does the same thing. Sometimes I even have to give it a helping hand to go up all the way. I believe it is the molding around the window is warped. I've greased the molding as to help it go up easier and it was a quick fix but only for a limited amount of time. I just keep greasing it about every other week. Seems to work. But if i had the money I would see how much it would cost to replace the molding. good luck.
rooter2 Posts: 1My 4 runner started acting up this past weekend. At first the noise almost sounded like someone taking a deep breath...like a leak of some sort. I pulled over, checked everything out, thought maybe a hose had come lose or something, but found nothing. Also all my gauges are correct....so, the day goes on, the noise comes & goes, but then later in the day, it became almost steady, and more of a "screeching" noise, like a bearing or something. I'm trying to figure out what it is, but haven't yet, and I'm sure hoping it's not a bearing in the engine. I'm going to pick up some slick 50 today on the way home from work and hope that it solves the problem...any suggestions?

by Marian Keyes
Category: Fiction / J - L
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd
Publication date: 14 June 2001
Number of pages: 576
Hot-shot magazine editor Lisa Edwards' career is destined for high-rise New York when suddenly she's diverted to low-rise Dublin. But what can she do about it? Ashling Kennedy, Lisa's super-organized assistant, worries about everything from her lack of waist to the lack of men in her life. She's even anxious about of a little bit of raw fish.
Critics might decry the Bridget Jones trend for feel-good fiction about single, twentysomething women picking their way through the minefield of metropolitan life, but one thing there is no doubt: Keyes is queen of the genre. Keyes's writing career continues deservedly to gather pace as each book gets better than the last. This story intertwines the lines of two very different women: Lisa, successful, glamorous editor of a glossy magazine, and Ashling, who has been sacked from her decidedly unglamorous job on a weekly Irish magazine after a mix-up involving a knitting pattern. When Lisa is posted from London to Dublin to launch a new magazine,Colleen, her misery could not be more complete: not only has she lost her status, bijou flat and huge staff, but she also has family issues and a broken marriage to contend with. In contrast, Ashling is delighted to land the job of deputy editor at Colleen, but she, too, has personal problems - a family history of depression, a troubled relationship with her mother, and sneaky feelings of envy towards her best friend Clodagh, who is beautiful, rich - and happily married to the man whom she originally stole from Ashling. When Lisa and Ashling meet, and find themselves thrown into the path of Jack Devine, their gorgeous, dishevelled boss, all hell might just break loose. Needless to say, happy endings for those who deserve them and timely comeuppance for those who don't are all part of the formula, but Keyes's lightness of touch and talent for characterization make you genuinely care about her creations and put her a step or two ahead of the opposition. If you read only one girlie novel this autumn, make it this one. (Kirkus UK)

A new production of a classic gets a new translation.
It's Mozart, it only has another three performances, it's the first new production in Chicago in 17 years, and it's being sung in English. What more reason do you need to see The Magic Flute?

This morning, just like every other morning, I got into work and meandered over to the company Keurig in desperate need of coffee to find that, yet again, the last person to use the coffee machine didn't refill the water. How hard is it to put the container under the sink for five seconds? For months we've been plagued with this problem thanks to lazy caffeine drinkers, and I have been seriously contemplating the installation of nanny cams to find the culprit(s). Maybe then we'd determine who's guilty of some of these other workplace crimes.

Face & Body Northern California 2010 Wrap-Up
By: Melinda Taschetta-Millane
Posted: July 21, 2010
Face & Body's opening day welcomed crowds to the show floor.

page 2 of 6
Finally, the tour attendees visited Skin Logic, an advanced skin care and acne treatment center in San Jose. Owner and skin care guru Dawn Amador takes pride in offering high-quality and results-driven treatments. At Skin Logic no question will go unanswered and no concern will go unfulfilled. Here, tour attendees learned how Skin Logic makes 60-65% in retail, and uses unconventional methods to market and promote. A successful promotion through Groupon resulted in more than 700 appointments that Amador is working on turning into regular clientele.
After the Spa Tour wrapped up, spa professionals continued to enjoy Face & Body Northern California by checking out the annual Networking Luncheon in the Courtyard Atrium at Il Fornaio Restaurant located within the Sainte Claire hotel. The luncheon was the perfect opportunity to network with peers and share new ideas, strategies and industry trends. Christine Heathman, CEO and president of GlyMed Plus Skin Care, this year's Networking Luncheon sponsor, presented a keynote presentation on "Winning at the Game of Skin Care in 2010." Some of the golden nuggets of advice she shared included:
- Failure is the first stepping stone to success.
- Climb the steps to success one step at a time.
- Conclusion is the dark place where you got tired of thinking.
- Empower other spa professionals and seek a mentor.
- Go out and do what you've learned about.
- Fifty percent of business is attributed to your relationship with clients.
In addition, Pat Lam, president of Skin Care Consultants, presented the Hubert Lam Memorial Scholarship to this year's recipient, Rachel Bradshaw of Haiku, Hawaii.
Adding to this incredible day was an entire afternoon of continuing education at the Advanced Education Conference Program. Attendees had the chance to learn from some of the masters of the spa industry about timely topics crucial to today's spa professional. Tracks included Business-building, Esthetic Science, Trends and Wellness/Sustainability.
Rebecca James Gadberry discussed Cutting-edge Cosmetic Science 2011 and Christine Heathman clarified skin cell science, just to name a few incredible learning opportunities. Other speakers included Manon Pilon of Physiodermie/Europelab Inc., Mindy Terry, Creative Spa Concepts, Carol Phillips, BeauteeSmarts and Carl Thornfeldt, MD of Episciences, Inc.

Summary: Cassandra was the young and beautiful daughter of Priam, the last king of Troy. Apollo bestowed upon Cassandra a special gift -- the ability to see the future. But when she refused his favors, he twisted her gift with a curse, so no one would believe her prophecies. Consultant, raconteur, and musical performer Alan AtKisson sees a parallel between Cassandra's situation and that of today's environmentalists--concerned citizens and scientists who see the world hurtling ...show more toward self-destruction. Is it true that most of the human race could care less about their dire warnings? But stop the hand wringing and let's get to work, says AtKisson. One way or another, by choice or catastrophe, our civilization will discover a sustainable way of life. We can either shape the future with our own creativity and innovation, or let ''nature's strong hand'' bring on the consequences. In a style that's refreshingly candid and vivid with unforgettable personal anecdotes, AtKisson provides us with a bridge passing over the brink of despair to the crest of an enticing future. He enables the reader to join the pioneers who embrace the ideas, techniques, and practices of sustainable living--the people who are ''believing Cassandra.'' The world has raced beyond the limits to growth, putting us in a dangerous stage of ''overshoot.'' The sky is literally falling, and we don't know what to think. Alan AtKisson takes a surprisingly bright view of the apocalypse, and makes it seem like a transformation we might just survive. He re-explores the ancient Greek myth of ''Cassandra's Dilemma'' -- Cassandra had the gift, (some would say curse), to be able to accurately prophesy the future, but no one would believe her. AtKisson sees therein the predicament of modern-day environmentalists, trying to deliver a message that even basically sympathetic citizens don't want to hear. By contrast, AtKisson himself uses the tools of a poet and songwriter, who is also a trained scientist and legendary community organizer, to dramatize the challenges facing us. He works his readers steadily through and beyond the grim predictions of computer models that provided the foundations for two seminal works in environmental literature, The Limits to Growth and Beyond the Limits. In the process, he makes even the arcane language of system dynamics accessible to the technical neophyte. And in the chapter ''Longing for the End of the World,'' AtKisson brings us into direct confrontation with TEOTWAWKI (The End of the World as We Know It), and shows why it might not be so bad after all. This startling appraisal provides a lead-in to an entertaining, inspiring discussion of the possibilities for a sustainable future. AtKisson explains the real potential for sustainability in a way that will silence critics who have assailed the fundamental concept of limits to growth since the warning was raised back in 1972. The book ends with some rousingly optimistic scenarios for global transformation. AtKisson, who is a musician, knows that his audience ought to leave the theater humming a tune, and he gives them three to choose from. This is more than lip service. This is genuine imagination and hope. For anyone who has followed the halting and fitful progress of the environmental movement, this book is a must read. Effervescent as champagne, crisp as a fresh garden mesclun, AtKisson has created a lively and believable look at our future. Anyone who is fed up with hearing only about our problems -- holes in the ozone, toxic wastes, and the greenhouse effect -- will take heart from this book. ...show less

cdouglass Posts: 3Hello kyfdx.
This looks like a great place to get information.I know this is a rare car but hopefully numbers are available. You can use the E63S sedan if the wagon is too rare. Can you please help me with residuals and MF for:
24 months w/7.5K and 10K mi./yr.
36 months w/7.5K and 10K mi./yr.
Any help is greatly appreciated! -

matchbox1 Posts: 13I'm looking at a left over 13 E350 Bluetec and have the dealer down to a good price. Can someone provide lease numbers for that car for November 13?
2013 Mercedes E350 Bluetec
24, 27 or 36 month (whichever is better)/ 12K miles
Is the MF for this car still higher than the 2014, it was last month.
kyfdx Posts: 31,8782014 E250 Bluetec sedan 36mo, 15K/yr lease
Standard money factor and 57% residual
I don't have 27 month numbers... 24 month residual is 68%.. many times, if Mercedes is running a 27 month special, they will use the 24 month residual (but, that's just a guess).
Prices Paid, Lease Questions, SUVs -
kyfdx Posts: 31,8782013 E350 Bluetec 36mo, 12K/yr lease
Standard money factor and 58% residual
24 month residual is 69%
Once they start putting big cash incentives on the previous year model, they usually quit incentivizing the money factor.... But, with all the cash upfront, the shorter lease terms become more attractive...

joebean Posts: 3Invaluable forum when researching a new vehicle. Thanks to those who share their experiences.
I closed this deal over the weekend in the Bay Area. A little high on cap cost reduction and I can't seem to locate the final MF, but overall I'm absolutely thrilled with the deal:
2014 E350 sedan w/ sport package, P1, keyless go, parking assist and drivers assist.
Gross cap cost $52,795
Cap cost reduction $2,200
27 month least @ 27k miles - $3,400 out the door, $499 / month including tax.
Good shopping! -
nc_driver1 Posts: 54
asninla Posts: 9I am in the market for a 2013 leftover e350 sedan BlueTEC. One dealer whop has none stated I should get $12K off MSRP as the lease opportunities in the '13's end at the end of the month.
Anyone have how large a discount I can expect on the model. I'll end up leasing, but I negotiate on the selling price. I am in So CA.
Thank you in advance. -
matchbox1 Posts: 13I have been looking at the same car, but in the north east. The best I've been able to do is 47,900 selling price for a 58,265 MSRP 2013 Bluetec. To be honest, I didn't pull the trigger because I don't think it's that great. People are seeing $10K off MSRP for the new 2014 E350 gas cars so I feel the older body style should be even more of a discount. Also, the residual and money factor for 2013's are not that attractive relative to the 2014 so the leas isn't really too much cheaper than just getting a 2014.
ghstudio Posts: 970Keep in mind that the 2013 BueTec is very different than the 2014 BlueTec because they changed the engine.
I just (reluctantly) turned in a leased 2011 BluTec because the residual was far too high to consider purchase. I leased a gas 2014 because the new diesel just doesn't have the same feel, sound, etc....and because there was no high residual on the 2014 diesel. In 2011, the residual for a 24 mo lease was about 76%....today's diesel has a residual of 68%, the same as the gas models (12K/24-27mos). Additionally, I don't think the 2014 diesels have the promotional mf being offered on the gas e350s. -
lexusbill Posts: 59MB/car mfg push cars which they have tons in their inventory. NOT on the left overs. this is especially true on leasing, both in truck money and money factor.
13s are good to buy, not lease. dealers are doing great deals on 14s becasue they have money from Germany to push the sales. leasing on 13 is kind of like leasing an used car, the low residual, plus high MF will push the pmt way high -
asninla Posts: 9I was also looking at the 2014 e250 BT. Seems that the dealers are not pushing it. I had to find the product on the web, after visiting 3 MB dealers - no one mentioned it after saying I want a BT vehicle.
After driving the e250, I was not that impressed as my 2012 ML 350 seems a better drive.
Now looking at the e350 2014 gas wagon - shame they do not make that in a BT.
Seems that the 4 dealers that I found out have 3 or more 2013 e350 BT are not to willing to make an easy deal.
I was told 12K - $14K should be taken off MSRP to make up for the New Year coming up in a few weeks. -
nj_driver_man Posts: 7I am putting together my first MB lease and need a little help.
Are the MF and residuals the same for an E350 and an E550 4matic sedan? I was having trouble finding a car with leather and other options I wanted as an E350 and it was suggested that I look to the E550 as they come standard with leather - and I found one with the other options I want near me.
I know there was a good program (mf / residual) for a 27 month lease in November.
Could someone let me know if the E350 and E550 get the same MF and residuals?
What are the December numbers? Would want 24 of 27 months with 12k or 15k miles. Please post them if you have them.
Could someone also let me know what the reduction in MF is if you go single pay lease with MB as I would probably do that as well.
Thanks for all the great information!

I think I have a problem with my oven in a Wolf all gas. Had it for 8 years with nary a problem, but now when I bake the oven makes a reasonably loud "whoosh" pretty often. I'm presuming that is when it does its restart which it must have to do to keep to oven even. It has always made a sound then, but MUCH more quietly. It scares me to the point that until it is looked at, I won't bake in the gas. Mercifully, there is an electric wall oven I can use. But has anyone else had this problem? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Actually was not looking for it but found a complant filed with a governmental agency.http://www.saferproducts.gov/ViewIncident/1195027 Please read |
I have had my Wolf AG for a little over a year. It makes a really loud Whoosh sound when it first starts up, but not so much after that. Is the first start up usually really loud? |
You are doing the right thing to have it looked at. I had a similar thing with another oven once and I think it was an ignitor(or glow plug) that was bad, easily replaced---but that might have nothing to do with what is wrong with yours! |
- Posted by Jumpilotmdm (My Page) on Sun, Jan 27, 13 at 20:46
I recently repaired a similar problem in a viking range [gas] about the same age. The burners were deteriorated near the ignitor. T'was a simple fix to replace the burners. Good luck. |
Range was repaired today. It needed a new burner and ignitor and a pipe replaced. DH handled the repairman so I am not sure what the "pipe" was, but all is now well. Not too bad: two visits (diagnosing, then fixing), $335. |

Martina McBride, a Hagerstown Golden Retriever/Rottweiler puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Golden Retriever/Rottweiler for sale in Hagerstown, or seeking a Golden Retriever/Rottweiler puppy from a breeder in Hagerstown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hagerstown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hagerstown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Golden Retriever/Rottweiler breeders who help with Golden Retriever/Rottweiler rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hagerstown paves the way for another one to be saved.

Simply Amazing
I have nothing but problems with my feet, they're flat and wide and I have never found a shoe, boot, nor any other footwear that would help or make my feet at all tolerable for long hours. UNTIL NOW! I literally took these out of the box, laced them up and put them on and it's simply amazing! They are, by far, the most amazing pieces of footwear that I have ever bought! I don't care if they were $500, I would buy another pair and have the complete intentions of buying not only another pair of these Danner's but other kinds of Danner's as well!

Just got these boots. They are great quality and feel great but they have Thinsulate in the uppers which is not advertised on the specs. This is a non-starter for me and I will be returing them.

Awesome boots
These boots fitted like trainers straight out of the box, but are enormously tough, and give enough support. Definitely the best bet for hot climates.

Taught by Ernesto Ortiz $99
A comprehensive 4 part course teaching you to understand and use the Akashic Records for yourself. Over 8 hours of video takes you fully through the mastery of using the Akashic Records. Taught by a master teacher of several modalities, this is a higher production quality course digitized from DVDs. Add this skill to your consciousness and help yourself with your profound questions about your existence.
'We can look at why we have addictive patterns, why we choose the relationships we do, why we have created our habitual responses, and how to create action in our lives instead of re action.
The heating energy of the Akashic Records allows us the freedom to choose grace in all things; therefore, overriding any illusion we have created that causes us to believe we are separate from God/Spirit/Source.
It is one of the most powerful tools available on the planet today, to help us remember our oneness with God/Spirit/Source.

Celestial Qigong Levels I and II Click for Preview! taught by Michael Denny $46 ea
The Shang Ch'ing Taoist tradition is known as the most mystical and powerful of the Taoist sects. For many years, the Shang Ch'ing initiates were know as wizards and sorcerers and were feared even by other famous Taoist sects. Recently ancient Shang Ch'ing manuscropts have been published by academic scholars and the Shang Ch'ing tradition is enjoying a resurgence of popularity.
In the Shang Ch'ing Taoist tradition, it is believed that the vast majority of Chi Kung is "layman" style energy work. The Shang Ch'ing energy work was considered to be advanced energy work taught only to the highest monks and priests in the order.
Spirit Tao Qigong/Nei Kung DVDs are a distillation of some of the most powerful Shang Ch'ing Taoist internal energy exercises and meditations ever taught. What you will learn in these videos has NEVER BEEN TAUGHT PUBLICLY before.
Teacher Michael Denney has had the privilege of meeting and learning from three different masters in the Shang Ch'ing tradition. Mr. Denney has selected the exercises that are most easily understood through the medium of video to be taught in this series.
Do not be deceived by the simplicity of these exercises. One of the hidden secrets of the Shang Ch'ing masters is that the most powerful energy work is the easiest to learn.

Freedom from fear has nothing to do with acquiring powers or possessions, so as to change or otherwise control those moments that seem to darken our life; real fearlessness is in our divine right to take whatever is unwanted... and to surrender it to that indwelling Celestial Character that loves whatever is brought into its light. This love casts out fear; this love has no regret; this love is free and gives itself freely to any and all that ask; seek it before all else, and find the heart of fearless living. - Guy Finley

Introducti0n to Sacred Tarot with Nila $17.77
First Class in the Series
The human mind processes information and creates through symbols. Symbols are stored whitin the unconscious and are unique to the individual. Through eons of time and the expansion of the group consciousness, some syumbols have become universal (such as sun, moon, and stars).
Within the infinite realm of the unconscious, lies a never-ending matrix of information (Spirit). The tarot is an ancient system of symbols that can and will unleash the hidden knowledge stored within and bring it to the finite conscious mind. Tarot is no different in its context or format than many of the psychological tests that determine a person's reality.

New American Standard (NAS) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Now the LORD said to Moses, "One more plague I will bring on Pharaoh and on Egypt; after that he will let you go from here. When he lets you go, he will surely drive you out from here completely. | 1 Now the LORD had said to Moses, "I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that, he will let you go from here, and when he does, he will drive you out completely. |
2 "Speak now in the hearing of the people that each man ask from his neighbor and each woman from her neighbor for articles of silver and articles of gold." | 2 Tell the people that men and women alike are to ask their neighbors for articles of silver and gold." |
3 The LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Furthermore, the man Moses himself was greatly esteemed in the land of Egypt, both in the sight of Pharaoh's servants and in the sight of the people. | 3 (The LORD made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and Moses himself was highly regarded in Egypt by Pharaoh's officials and by the people.) |
4 Moses said, "Thus says the LORD , 'About midnight I am going out into the midst of Egypt, | 4 So Moses said, "This is what the LORD says: 'About midnight I will go throughout Egypt. |
5 and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of the Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the slave girl who is behind the millstones; all the firstborn of the cattle as well. | 5 Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn son of the slave girl, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well. |
6 'Moreover, there shall be a great cry in all the land of Egypt, such as there has not been before and such as shall never be again. | 6 There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt--worse than there has ever been or ever will be again. |
7 'But against any of the sons of Israel a dog will not even bark , whether against man or beast, that you may understand how the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.' | 7 But among the Israelites not a dog will bark at any man or animal.' Then you will know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel. |
8 "All these your servants will come down to me and bow themselves before me, saying, 'Go out, you and all the people who follow you,' and after that I will go out." And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger. | 8 All these officials of yours will come to me, bowing down before me and saying, 'Go, you and all the people who follow you!' After that I will leave." Then Moses, hot with anger, left Pharaoh. |
9 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that My wonders will be multiplied in the land of Egypt." | 9 The LORD had said to Moses, "Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you--so that my wonders may be multiplied in Egypt." |
10 Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh; yet the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the sons of Israel go out of his land. | 10 Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let the Israelites go out of his country. |

Can't seem to tame those wild locks of yours? If that's the case, you're going to need some equally wild fashions to compensate and the NN07 2010 Fall Lookbook just might do the trick.
The selection of assorted pea coats and denim button-ups seen here can really transcend any occasion or season, being suited for either a formal event or just hanging around your home city.
Finding wool trench coats that don't make you look like a 60-year-old man is quite hard to do surprisingly enough, but the NN07 2010 Fall Lookbook gives off a youthful vibe while still keeping a mature feel to it.

Diabetes Educator of the Month: Evelyne Fleury-Milfort
Evelyne Fleury-Milfort, RN, MSN, CDE, FNP, is a diabetes nurse educator in Los Angeles, California. She works at the University of Southern California University Hospital and at a low-income clinic.
DIABETES HEALTH: How long have you been involved with diabetes care?
Evelyne Fleury-Milfort: Probably 9 years now.
DI: Where do you work?
EF-M: I work at the University of Southern California, at the University Hospital and the Department of Medicine: USC Center for Diabetes. I'm also doing a residency one day a week at a low-income clinic called T.H.E. I think it stands for "To Help Everyone." They see patients on a sliding-scale basis, and they serve a diverse ethnic community: African Americans, Hispanics, Asians.
DI: Is there any difference in the care given at the low-income clinic and that provided by the hospital?
EF-M: Not in the care that I give; I treat everybody the same. The frustration is that low-income patients can't always afford the supplies to test, so you have to get creative. I'm running a sample medication drive, trying to get samples from different reps and companies to give to patients who don't have insurance and can't afford the medication. It's frustrating to see people who are doing everything they can, but can't afford medicine. I'm also talking to some glucose meter companies, trying to get some meters and strips for my patients. You really have to be creative.
DI: What do you like about working with diabetes?
EF-M: I like working with the patients and I like working with a team. I like working with a patient when they think that nothing is going to work, then helping them to change their perspective on diabetes. It's really nice to see patients getting comfortable with their diabetes, and to keep them from being too hard on themselves when things don't go perfectly. My background as a psychiatric social worker helps with that. I also work to keep the team from classifying people as "non-compliant" because then they are written off, they don't get the care they need to keep healthy.
DI: You were a psychiatric social worker? Why did you change professions?
EF-M: Life prompted the change. I was a social worker in Quebec, and when I came the United States I didn't speak the language very well. It's hard to be a therapist when you have trouble communicating. So I went into nursing. I started at the Glendale Diabetes Treatment Center of America, and I used to fill in for the CDE when she wasn't there. When she left, I got the job. I started the diabetes program at Northridge hospital. You know Northridge, the epicenter of the earthquake.... But I moved here to Los Angeles two years before that.
DI: What do you dislike about working with diabetes?
EF-M: There are two aspects I find difficult. When a patient does everything they can, and they still get complications. It's humbling. You realize that you don't have all the answers, that sometimes it comes down to genes. I also find the health care system frustrating, when the lack of coverage prevents a patient from getting the care they need. When someone who is poor changes jobs and health insurance, they have to either change providers or pay for the old care out of their own pocket, and diabetes is already an expensive disease. Acute care is better covered than long-term or preventative care, and that's a mistake. I hope someday we will have a health care system that will better help people with diabetes.
DI: What books and magazines do you recommend to your patients?
EF-M: Well, for the patients that can afford it, I recommend "Living Well with Diabetes" from the International Diabetes Foundation. I also recommend a membership in the American Diabetes Association, so they can get the "Diabetes Forecast," which is getting better about treatment and information. I also recommend "DIABETES HEALTH." For myself, I get the magazines: the ADA's "Diabetes Care, " the AADE's "Diabetes Educator." They are more up-to-date, they have all the latest research.
DI: Do you have any tips for diabetes educators or patients?
EF-M: For patients, they need to learn to live their lives with diabetes, they need to learn to be a person with diabetes instead of a "diabetic." They need to use their health care team to get healthy. They should concentrate on total health rather than just diabetes health.
For educators, they need to keep intellectually stimulated so they don't burn out. Don't be in a vacuum, join the ADA, AADE, or some other local organization to resource themselves.
Evelyne Fleury-Milfort was nominated for Educator of the Month by Dr. Alan Marcus for reaching patients that were previously untouched and for setting new boundaries for the role of diabetes nurse educators beyond simple education to empowerment and entitlement.

In "Faith like a River," a Tapestry of Faith program
When we know martyrs only by their final moments, the way in which they died, we are likely to say to ourselves "I could never do that." But when we look more deeply at the lives they lived, we are more likely to find qualities we have in common with them.
Of martyrs, Susan Bergman has written:
... if we are not all called to this extremity of submission, we can at least recognize—in our own choices to persevere despite personal cost, to honor our beliefs in the contest with doubt—the significance of the daily, incremental decisions that influence who we become, and how we behave. — in "Twentieth Century Martyrs: A Meditation," in Susan Bergman, ed. Martyrs: Contemporary Writers on Modern Lives of Faith (HarperSanFrancisco, 1996)
Can you name a time when your beliefs forced you to choose to "persevere despite personal cost?" What gave you the strength to do so?
Offer to share your story in a column for your congregational newsletter or as a short homily in a worship service, and encourage others to do the same. Talk with the religious educator or religious education committee about ways in which stories of honoring belief despite personal cost might be shared with a Coming of Age group, a youth group, or children in your congregation.
For more information contact web @ uua.org.

Ford Alumni Center opens in grand fashion
Local dignitaries and the building's primary donors were on hand Friday for a ribbon-cutting and celebration of the University of Oregon's newest landmark: the Cheryl Ramberg Ford and Allyn Ford Alumni Center.
The $33.6 million, 60,000-square-foot facility is expected to set a new standard for alumni centers nationwide. It features an interpretive center filled with touch-screens and UO lore, and an energy-efficient design expected to result in LEED Gold certification. It offers office and meeting room space for the UO Foundation and the university's alumni association, student orientation services and development department.
