Toyota RAV4 pre-2006
babsan Posts: 4I have a 2001 RAV4L and I just noticed that the rubber 'seal' that goes around the drivers window is broken about 10 cm from the top, on the inside (so it cant be someone that have tried to pry the window open.) How are those rubber seals constructed, are they molded in one piece or is it a long thing where two loose ends have been 'fused' together? It just seems odd to me that it would break like that, and I want to get an idea what to say/suggest when I go to the dealer. The break is irregular, not cut. Im in San Diego so I open that window almost every time I drive it...
I also wonder if there are any TSB for rattle sound from the sunroof when it is in the tilt position. I hear it in low speeds as I mostly drive it off the highway, and last tiem I asked at the dealership they said it was just wind noise and that I should buy a spoiler or shield and put in front of it.
Finally, I wonder how the hell the hard tire cover is constructed, when it can come off even if it is locked using the hinge on the underside of the tire. It happened to me at a manual carwash, and the cover got all scratched as it completely fell off. I couldn't for the world figure out how the hell it could have come off with the higne intact, when it was locked? I took it to the dealer, and he helped me put it on. Only thing we could see what that the latch thing at the 1 o'clock position had not attached to the cover, so the cover was 'loose' for about 7-8 inches at that area. Anyone else having had this problem?
Thanks... -
m9431 Posts: 38The raddle around the windshield must be a common problem as mine does this too--since day one. ( Will be taking it back to the dealer for warranty work). I notice that using better fuel, plus instead of regular, noticeably increases power. My 5 speed, 2WD has adequate power and feels comparable to the Honda Accord 4-cyl. vehicle it replaces. Mine has Dunlop tires which seem OK but I'll replace them with Yokohama Geolanders which I find are excellent. I see the RAV4 as a "small, tall station wagon" that gets good gas mileage and is fun to drive--this is why I purchased it!

Ile Posts: 14Maybe we should get your Ford escape that has been recalled because it catches fire, cruise control won't shut off just to name the few, there are more... I would rather pay more for quality truck and get my money back from better resale value, the best fuel economy in class not to mention reliability and refinement than to drive a death-trap. Rear wheels falling off and we should maybe buy a V6 like that makes a big difference... or maybe it does to you, funding terrorists in the middle east is important.

stephanrm Posts: 1I'm currently choosing a [Canadian] RAV4 model to buy in the next few days, and was just wondering about the Panasonic Stereo in the Chili edition. Are the speakers upgraded as well as the deck, or just the deck? I've leaned to the Chili over the 'B' package due to the nicer seats and sound system. I don't care for the hood scoop, but Canadians get jerked around a bit by the 'packages' offered. Also, has anyone noticed whether this fake hood scoop causes additional noise at speeds? It seems like it would just add drag.

lok888 BostonPosts: 1,788I got a quote for $21599.00 for 2003 RAV4 with 4WD, "L" package (no leather), ABS and moonroof. Plus the 1.9% for 36 months going on now. Good deal? Any words that RAV4 will be redesgined in 2004 or 2005? I heard one said there will be a midlife redesgine in 2004. I am not sure Toyota has any plan yet since they have the 2004 Lexus RX330 and 2004 Toyota Sienna coming out in spring.
totalnet Posts: 67I paid about the same for my 2003 RAV4, but mine was the automatic 2WD with the S package, moonroof, and alloy wheel. Check invoice price under New Car section. Then you should pay that plus up to $500 for it. You are getting a great rate, Toyota was not offering that rate when I bought my RAV4. 4.73% for 5 years, but I will pay it off in 3. So in the end, it should be lower rate. Toyota went through 5 years cycle for the last generation RAV4, so the next redesign should appear as the 2006 model year.
lok888 BostonPosts: 1,788Thanks guys! My wife is looking for the RAV4. She think this is cute. She doesn't like CR-V. I like CR-V better because its EX model cost about the same as RAV4. It is slightly larger than RAV4. And many features (options on RAV4) are standard on CR-V. Anyway, she like the RAV4 more. I already got my Kia Sorento. Two SUVs for a family?! BTW, is the current version of RAV4 start in 2001 model and it should be redesigned in 2005?
totalnet Posts: 67Well just think of the RAV4 as a taller Corolla/Matrix. The RAV4 is a car base SUV built on the same platform as those two cars. Your Sorento is on a ladder frame plateform like trucks and most larger SUV. The RAV4 also drink gas like cars. In fact, it is the best gas mileage SUV in the US. You should see a big different at the gas pump on the two SUVs. Lot of people complain about Toyota in general about their options. Where as Honda includes everything is two or three trim levels, Toyota has these option packages that sometime are not available in different area of the country. Like you could not find RAV4 with ABS in California. If Toyota go with a 5 year design plan like the last generation RAV4, the 2006 RAV4 should be showing up at the dealers in the middle to the end of 2005.
lok888 BostonPosts: 1,788totalnet - Thanks for your comments. This guy quoted me $215??.00 for "L" package (no leather), auto, 4WD, ABS, and moonroof, with the latest 1.9% for 36 months. Anyway that I may push it for little more. Indeed, my wife will drive the Accord at least for months. We are not shopping for any new cars yet because I just got a Sorento. She thinks the RAV4 is cute and easy to handle. Someone mentioned the RAV4 will get a facelift or midlife restyle in 2004. Is anything on RAV4 that you would like to update or redesign? I found the elbow space is limited even compare with most compact cars. And the rear side-hinged door makes loading not quite easy. What do you think?
diploid Posts: 2,286I would change the cupholders for the rear passenger. If you have a 3rd person in the back, you gotta close the rear cupholder altogether (unless you want someone's shoes precariously close to your drink).
In the last gen. CR-V, the rear passengers get "pull out" cupholders from the doors. I would like to see something like that on the RAV4. -
totalnet Posts: 67Just saw commercial for Toyota in the San Francisco Bay Area. Toyota is offering 0% interest rate on most Toyotas, including the RAV4.
The 2003 RAV4s have $1000 factory rebate on some L and S packages.
Below is the link to my dealing on the purchase of my RAV4.
http://www.ravworld.com/board/viewthread.php?tid=312 -
amarillas1 Posts: 1Dear Mcdawgg and ravenous....I have a 02 Rav4 bought in Jan of 02..I've had the vehicle back to the dealer 6 or 7 times and each time they fix the squeak it seems to move to another spot on the dash. It is coming from inside the car. The only thing that hasn't been done is to replace the windshield...any thoughts. I'm really digging my heels in with the dealer because the squeak was there when I bought the car and the sales person said they knew about the squeak but couldn't fix it until the car was purchased...Boy...did I learn a lesson !
lok888 BostonPosts: 1,788totalnet - I got another quote from a local dealer here in MA. It is $21900.00. With 4WD, ABS, moonroof, L package, Auto, spoiler, daytime running lights. In addition, there is no $198 doc. fee, costs of the plates plus sale tax. Good deal? He didn't mention 0% APR. But he did mentioned 1.9% for 36 months. Is the 0% APR regional?

Due to early 20th-century zoning laws and regulations, Jackson Avenue has always been associated with printers, woodworkers, electrical suppliers and other maintenance and contractors needs.
At the corner of Jackson and Purvis Street was the Lithuanian Citizens Club of Long Island City, at old No. 290. The Lithuanian Democratic Club was located a short distance away on Greenpoint Avenue.
Once a mighty nation, Lithuania became a Baltic province of Imperial Russia, then an independent republic in 1918. After World War I, it was carved up by Poland and Germany, then absorbed into the Soviet Union, taken by the Nazis in World War II and retaken by the Soviets — and finally became independent again in 1991.
Between 1941 and 1949 about 300,000 Lithuanians were deported by the Soviets, and a large number of them came to LIC and other parts of Queens County.
A couple doors down was Dykes Lumber Co. at old No. 284, now 26-14. John Mitchell was the manager for many years and carried the latest materials of the day such as Celotex and beaver board. In business since 1909 and at this location since 1926, Dykes has survived the test of time and not been pushed out by the chain stores, recently expanding and moving to 43-01 9 St.
The Lithuanian Club on the corner is now a successful rubber stamps store, in keeping with Jackson Avenue tradition.

An article in the Irish Examiner on Friday claims that autism is a diagnostic convenience for labelling kids deprived of love and emotional security. The author, Tony Humphreys, is a regular in the relationship / parenting / family circuit and writes regularly for the Examiner. He also has many self-help books to his name, though no actual peer-reviewed publications. There is a transcript of the article at https://www.facebook.com/notes/irish-au ... 8427353789

I think there might be something to be said about the whole love and emotional security thing, but first we must define love and emotional security, and then take into account the fact that it differs depending on the context, including culture, finances, and the needs of said child, and then remember that there are many other factors that are much more relevant that not only make up most of what autism is, but also contribute to the whole love and emotion thing. So unless this guy went into about 3,000 pages of detail, it's probably hogwash, and even then, I'm admittedly going out on a huge limb here. It's the best the Devil can advocate for this.

Maybe he's just a really slow writer and he's actually been working on this article since the 60s.
Tony Humphreys has created quite a storm - there were 150 comments and 50 shares on the Facebook page of Irish Autism Action https://www.facebook.com/notes/irish-au ... 8427353789 and plenty of other angry blogs (e.g. http://thefamilyvoyage.blogspot.com/201 ... ewold.html ). The best part is that Simon Baron-Cohen, whose research is heavily (mis)used in the Humphreys article, has Tweeted:

Well! I don't always agree with Simon Baron-Cohen, but at least he's doing legit science. Good for him, standing up to that crap. My mom loves me just fine, thank you very much. Smothers me sometimes, to be honest; I think she's trying to mother me from three states away! She's living proof the refrigerator-mother theory is bunk. She spent practically all her time interacting with me when I was little. It's probably why I learned to read so early, and sing; and maybe even why I learned to talk pretty much on time. I don't mean that she did therapy with me or anything, just that she never left me sitting in front of the TV or ignored me; and she spent lots of time reading to me and singing to me. Of course there were those times when I was tantruming and she couldn't stop me, or when I was just overloaded and running in circles, or just plain out of control--she thought I was a complete rebel, even at two--but she did just fine with me. The only things I would have changed about how she raised me was that she didn't get me evaluated for autism, even though she knew she should have; and that she married people who mistreated both of us, because she thought I needed a father, when in reality she was doing fine as a single mom--especially with a hyperactive autistic youngster like I was.

What rubbish! Probably gives a bunch of 1980's psychobable in his sel-help work. I'm willing to wager on it, in fact.. The problem is parents find it hard to relate to children who DO NOT respond to them (not talking Aspergers, but Classical autism here..) so it looks cold from the outside.. Sincerely, Matt

Robin's Healthy Take: Fast, Fiery and Under $5
by Robin Miller in Robin's Healthy Take, February 17, 2011Robin cooked up these healthy, budget-friendly recipes this morning on the Today Show!
When I was deciding what recipes to cook for my Today Show appearance, the producer suggested something "fast and fiery." Since fast dishes are my mantra (Quick Fix Meals, anyone?) and making spicy dishes is simple, I challenged myself by making each dish for $5 or less. Not $5 per person, but five smackers each for a fabulous, four-serving main dish, side dish and dessert.
Even better, the ingredient lists are super-short and each dish comes together in a flash. Here's how you make this meal for dinner tonight.
Spicy Fettuccine Alfredo
Serves 4
1 pound fettuccine
2 cups low-fat or fat-free milk
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons extra-spicy seasoning blend
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cook the fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, whisk together the milk, egg yolk and seasoning blend in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Stir in drained fettuccine and Parmesan cheese. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Season to taste with salt and freshly-ground pepper.
Garlic Parmesan Broiled Tomatoes
Serves 4
4 beefsteak or other vine-ripened tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
8 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Preheat broiler. Halve tomatoes crosswise (through the equator) and place flesh-side up on a baking sheet. Brush tops with olive oil and season with salt and freshly-ground pepper. Combine Parmesan cheese and garlic powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the mixture on each tomato half. Broil for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the tomatoes soften. Sprinkle with chopped parsley just before serving.
Coconut Macaroons
Makes 24 cookies
2/3 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 egg white
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 14-ounce bag shredded sweetened coconut (about 3 1/2 cups)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Whisk together sweetened condensed milk, egg white, vanilla and salt. Fold in the coconut until well-incorporated. Drop by tablespoonful onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Hi GreenDreamHome: Perhaps the previous home-owner over-applied fertilizer to that rose. Some roses are more susceptible to salt-damage. Knock-outs can take salt-abuse, but certain roses can't. The 1st picture looks like fertilizer burn. I got the same when I mixed 1/2 horse manure into the planting hole .. horse manure has high pH, plus 10% salt. No amount of rain could undo that, so I had to replace the soil. Luckily the rose was small, so I could dig it up, rinsed the root-ball in a bucket of water, and planted in new soil. I did that to my lawn recently .. there was left-over soluble acid-fertilizer 32-10-10, so I used a flour-duster to sprinkle on my lawn. I spilled a bit, so there's this big-brown-spot .. still there despite this rainy month. The second picture looks like my Sharifa Asma when I over-dosed on molasses (high in iron). Same with last year when I gave Gina's rose soluble molasses without watering her first. The molasses-brown-spots are easy to fix: tons of watering, the Gina's rose was OK ... when I dug her up to give away, the roots was huge. In hot climate, the soil tends to be more salty. I don't fertilize when the temp. is over 80 degree, and if I do, I water first, apply very diluted soluble, then water again. If your soil is rock-hard-clay and very alkaline like mine, then gypsum (22% calcium, 17% sulfur, and 8% salt) is recommended to break-up heavy clay and to de-salt ... best used as soluble in cool temp. If your soil is loamy, sodic (salty), and less alkaline .. skip the gypsum. Good luck with your roses ... the second picture is easy to fix. The first picture, if only a few brown spots, lots of watering will do. But if it's over 10 brown-spots like what I did, then I had to replace the soil. |

Hi GreenDreamHome: While looking at nutrient-deficiency pics. by Iowa University Extension, I ran across their analysis of boron-deficiency: "Leaves have small dead spots and are brittle. Shoots may not emerge. Deficiency is favored by drought, sandy soils low in organic matter, and high soil pH. " ... see link below for study done by John Sawyer at Iowa State University. Also the link by British Columbia - Ministry of Agriculture stated, "Boron deficiency: Upper leaves turn bronze to yellow without wilting, and leaves are cupped or curled. " http://www.agf.gov.bc.ca/cropprot/alfalfadis.htm The link below stated that drought tied up boron in the soil ... thus lots of watering with acidic pH like rain (at 5.6) would release the boron from alkaline soil. Chicken manure is high in boron, zinc, and copper. With my high pH tap water of 8, I have to put soluble gypsum (with 17% sulfur), or soluble sulfate of potash (with 21% sulfur) to bring the pH down. Both calcium in gypsum and potassium (sulfate of potash) help plants to cope with drought. |

Thanks for the information. I have never fertilized these roses, so that can't be the problem. It sounds like they need more water, and I should check for boron deficiency. We have some old non-flowering rose bushes slated to be removed that have cupped leaves. |

Hi GreenDreamhome: Thank you for the info. You are right that drought can do that. I remember in 2004 we had a drought in Chicagoland, with temp. over 100 degree. My perennials had curled up brown-margins .. so ugly that I had to chop them down. The link also confirm potassium deficiency in my Gallica band, which I foolishly experimented with bone meal mixed in potting soil. Info. from the link below "Potassium (K) deficiency create small dots on the margins of upper leaflets. When severely deficient, the size and number of dots increase, the leaves become yellow and dry, and the lower leaves drop." The link has an excellent pic. of potassium deficiency with yellow dots at upper margin of leaves. Bone meal, high in phosphorus and calcium, induced potassium deficiency. One site wrote on how excess calcium can drive down potassium. See below for my Gallica band, destroyed by bone meal in the potting soil. It's both a phosphorus burn, and severe potassium deficiency .. will post a pic. of its improving with sulfate of potash later. |

Simon's "X Factor" sacrifice, more A-List help for Haiti, and Conan O'Brien may have a new home in the Hollywood Nation.
Conan O'Brien may be packing up and leaving NBC soon, but he's not going to be homeless. Reports claim that FOX is looking to house the TV host as they are open to a late night program that would involve someone of his caliber.
In the meantime, fans can catch Conan end his seventh month on "Tonight" this Friday.
The stars continue to rally to help aid victims of the Haiti earthquake. While John Travolta is lending his plane to fly volunteers, supplies, and medics, Giselle Bunchen and Sandra Bullock have opened up their bank accounts, donating millions to the relief fund.
Mariah Carey is launching her very own champagne brand. The pop diva mad the announcement on her Twitter page and fans can expect "Angel Champagne Rose" in stores soon.
And all the money in the world could not keep Simon Cowell on "American Idol". Show executives offered the snarky judge nine figures to not walk, but his mind was made up as he is focused on bringing the "X Factor" to the states and may even have Paula Abdul join him at the judges table.

- Buy 2 and get 10% Off Instantly -
Safety Considerations Studies have shown that taking too much Yacon Syrup can have some adverse effects on the digestive system, mainly in the form of gas, bloating and discomfort. Because the active ingredient is essentially a sugar, once it hits the intestines, it can produce a lot of gas, therefore causing flatulence, cramping and bloating. Some people have stated certain adverse side effects with increased bowel movements, particularly due to the fibre content within the Yacon Syrup. While this is a positive factor for most people, for some with sensitive intestines and digestion, caution should be exercised. In order to prevent this, take only about 1-2 teaspoons 30 to 60 minutes before a meal and have no more than 4-5 teaspoons in a day.

A dongle is what the rest of the world calls an air card, wireless internet card. Its those little gizmos at the cell phone shops that look like think nub antennas.

I saw this on TV the other night and it was so weird I couldn't believe it – a Beatles tribute band combined with figure skating…I was lost for words
(HT Scott Cramer)
Tonight I was reading a book to Charis, and one of the characters in the book said the word "snort". Apparently Charis thought the word "snort" was the funniest word in the history of mankind, because she kept repeating it to herself and laughing hysterically. This event, combined with the fact that today is my 29th birthday, has me feeling a bit nostalgic. So I decided to compile a list of twenty nine things that I miss from childhood. Here goes…
1. Saying one word over and over, and laughing harder each time I say it. For example: "fart".
2. Getting super amped up on Saturday morning to watch three hours of cartoons.
3. Watching Darkwing Duck, Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers, and Tale Spin every day after school.
4. Getting really into something for a very short period of time. Examples: Pogs, Star Wars trading cards.
5. Manipulating my parents into buying me an action figure when we went to the store.
6. Breaking that action figure when we got home from the store.
7. Backyard wiffleball.
8. Being coated in sweat and dirt after a long day of playing freeze tag and kick the can.
9. Going to sleep still coated in sweat and dirt.
10. Having a simple faith in the power of prayer. Like the time I prayed that God would allow me to fly.
11. Wearing sweatpants for days on end without one ounce of shame.
12. Watching movies with my dad and having dad try to cover up swear words by saying "BABABABABA" really loudly.
13. Watching movies with my dad and having dad accidentally put the bad parts in slow motion instead of fast forwarding them.
14. My special blanket that had the power to take away all fear and sorrow.
15. Bologna.
16. Being really excited to tell my friends that I had watched a movie rated "PG".
17. Getting a toy with a McDonald's meal. (Why don't they do this for adults?)
18. Playing games with my friends that involved hurting each other.
19. Thinking that I might be a professional basketball player someday.
20. Wearing short shorts and tube socks and not knowing any better.
21. Anticipating the newest release in the "Ernest Goes To…" movie series.
22. Riding my bike to Sheetz for the sole purpose of purchasing a 44oz Slurpee.
23. Getting a refill on my Slurpee.
24. Beating Super Mario Bros.
25. Getting excited about flying on an airplane.
26. Getting a free lollipop from the bank.
27. Drawing intricate designs on my arms and legs with a ballpoint pen.
28. Getting really excited about my first pair of name brand shoes.
29. Not worrying about making lists.
What do you miss from your childhood?
It is now officially cold season, and Jen and I and the girls have been getting slammed the last couple weeks. I'm always in search of the latest, greatest cold remedy.
So would you mind sharing your personal cold remedy? I don't care how crazy it is. I don't care if it involves sticking tube meats in your socks or rubbing lard all over your face. I'm willing to try just about anything.
What do you do to fight against a cold?
Generally I don't think it's a great idea to do spiritual things exceedingly fast or in high volumes. I'm a big fan of slow, deliberate meditation upon the word of God. I think it's important to pay close attention to preaching, and not to multi-task while listening to sermons.
But there are times when it's valuable to quickly read large chunks of the Bible, or read a spiritual book quickly, or listen to a large number of sermons.
But how can you listen to a sermon quickly? It's actually pretty easy. Follow the steps below:
STEP 1: Download and install the Quicktime audio/video player from Apple. You can download it here.
STEP 2: Download your favorite sermon. Make sure that you know where the file is being saved. For simplicity sake, I always download files to the desktop.
STEP 3: Right click (or control click for Mac users) on the downloaded sermon and click "Open With". Select Quicktime Player.
STEP 4: Once the sermon has opened in Quicktime, select the "Window" menu, and select "Show A/V Controls" (this may be a bit different in Windows).
STEP 5: In the bottom right hand of the A/V Control Window is a "Playback Speed" slider. Bump the speed from 1x to 2x. Adjust the speed as necessary.
There it is. Simple and awesome. It works for just about any audio file. The human brain can process words much faster than they can be said, and this allows you to listen to sermons at a speed that your brain can handle.
Now you can listen to twice as many sermons!
Last Tuesday night The Discovery Channel's reality show, Deadliest Catch, documented the passing of Phil Harris, captain of the Alaskan crab fishing boat, the Cornelia Marie.
He suffered a massive stroke while his crew was offloading his boat in January and died in early February at age 53 while still in the hospital.
With the consent of his family, the reality show kept their cameras rolling throughout his ordeal, right up till the end. ?There were a couple touching scenes with his sons, especially when he told them he loved them.
The Discovery Channel did a tasteful job though it seemed crass to me at first. ?But a couple days before the episode I read these verses:
It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart.
Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sadness of face the heart is made glad.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. (Ecclesiastes 7:2-4)
Initially these verses caught me off guard. ?Why is it better to mourn than feast? ?Who likes funerals or intensive care units? ?Why is sorrow better than laughter and how does sadness make the heart glad?
The answer is that we can grow wise by contemplating death – ?the heart of the wise is in the house of mourning.?
In our culture, we?re shielded from death.? We shove it to the backs of our minds. ?We?d rather party. But parties don?t make us wise. ?Funerals are opportunities to see that death ?is the end of all mankind? and we who are ?living will take it to heart.?? Intensive care units can remind us of the life to come.
Seeing death should help us contemplate our own death, think about eternity and live wisely.
By ?sadness of face the heart is made glad? when we put our hope in Jesus, not in this world.
I feel sad for Phil?s family. ?But I?m glad they allowed the cameras to keep rolling. ?I?m glad they showed the hospital scenes with all the tubes and machines and his final conversations with his sons.? I hope it helps me grow more wise. ?It reminded me that my own life is a vapor, and someday I?ll be with the Lord.
I don?t want to miss opportunities to glorify Christ, and to tell my wife, children and grandchildren I love them.
In April of 2011, Crossway Books will be releasing my next book, The Greener Grass Conspiracy.
In order to communicate more effectively about the book, and other projects I'm working on, such as Sovereign Grace Music, I've set up a Facebook page.
I'll also regularly giving away resources from the page such as free books, free music, and a host of other items. It's easier to do this through a Facebook page than a Facebook profile.
Would you mind heading over to Facebook and "liking" the page?
That would help me out. Thanks!
People are wigging (street talk meaning "getting excited about") out about Apple's new iPad. Tim Challies calls it the most disappointing thing since the Blue Jays lost the World Series in 1993. Josh Harris, on the other hand, thinks that it's the greatest invention since slap bracelets and Reebok Pumps.
I think I side with Tim Challies, but for slightly different reasons. Here's why I'm not so impressed with the iPad…
Okay, I'm done wigging out about the iPad.
Your turn. Are you impressed with the iPad?

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I started putting some thoughts together from our CT talk this morning
and ended up writing this. It definitely needs more detailed
evidence, but let me know what you think of it.
US authorities issued a warning May 27 that militants linked to the
Somali jihadist group, al Shabab, may be attempting to infiltrate the
US by crossing from Mexico into Texas. The threat is not new, as
various other regions of the US (such as Minneapolis) have had to deal
with their own problems with al Shabab. Al Shabab has demonstrated
very little interest in conducting attacks outside of Somalia and our
assessment that it will not be successful at conducting an attack
against the World Cup this June. However, conditions on the ground in
Somalia make al Shabab a likely candidate for moving into the
transnational sector. [i'm really not sure i buy this.]
Insurgent force in Somalia opposing the western backed TFG, its
militia allies and African Union forces. They are trying to reassert
a Muslim government like the SICC that governed Somalia during a brief
period in 2006. Many [not many. some] of the AS commanders trained
with aQ and so there are many personal connections between Somali
militant commanders and aQ leaders [really? like what? analysts have
been working hard to establish this and have come up short most of the
time. if we're going to say this, we need proof]. (LINK:
The devolution of aQ, however, has meant that the core group based out
of Af/Pak no longer has a serious militant capability [in what sense
do you mean this? as a threat to CONUS? or to the Af-Pak region?
anything outside of af/pak, but they are even weakening in that area
too]. However, its series of franchises (mostly existing jihadist
movements that sought the aQ label in the years after 9/11) still very
much do have a militant capability; largely because they have mostly
stuck to focusing their militant activities towards their home
government whom they wish to topple [on the contrary, i think they
were able to retain and build their power precisely b/c they regouped
and worked to build and train operatives, not necessarily b/c they
took the fight to the near enemy. but they are training and recruiting
in order to carry out attacks against the near enemy. Do you disagree
that AQAP, AQIM, al Shabab don't carry out attack on the near enemy?]
These governments (like Iraq, Algeria and Somalia) for the most part
have not been able to deal these aQ franchises a death blow and so
they fester. The US has not committed more than a few air strikes and
extremely limited ground operations to combat these groups because
there has been little strategic incentive to do so [you're talking
about conventional ops here, right? i've been told that SF/SOCOM/Delta
units are very much committed to taking these groups out]. (special
forces = limited, very specific operations.)
These groups only pose a tactical threat to the US [only? they, like
AQAP, pose a threat to the Yemeni gov and the Saudis, and, especially,
USG employees in country. only should be attached to "tactical" not
"US". These groups don't pose a strategic threat to the US] (such as
aqap, which dispatched the crotchbomber last december) and so the US
response has been limited to taking out those responsible for the
specific bombing - not a campaign to remove the group all together
[i'm not sure i agree with this. it's not b/c of lack of intent to
wipe the group off the face of the earth. again, i spoke to a number
of SOCOM and DAO folks. they would have all the intention of doing
this. it's just that not all of AQAP's members would meet in a certain
location unless it was completely top secret. same applies to all
other nodes]. (I'm sure the commanders on the ground would love to
take them out, but you have to see this as part of a larger US
strategy. If they US thought that AQAP needed wiping out as a first
priority, they would give those current commanders more resources to
do it. )
The impetus for these groups to go transnational rather than just
focusing on their home country is the spread of transnational minded
jihadists [i'm not sure i understand what you're saying here. this is
pretty vague. by definition, AQ is a transnational jihadist group.
indeed, you have to be focused on the far enemy as a prerequisite to
be a part of the group. this is why AQ-P has gone after Hamas - No,
plenty of groups out there have ties to AQ but haven't gone outside
their borders - AQIM, ISI (although it could be argued that they are
fighting the far enemy on their own soil) and al shabab)]. The
transnational jihadists need some sort of physical space in which to
live and operate and that means having a host country. As the US and
various governments of clamp down on these jihadists groups, members
flee and seek out new homes from which to plot their activities [not
necessarily. they can just lay low (yes, but if the US is knocking
down your doors in Baghdad and taking your weapons caches, and your
home in Jordan is under constant surveillance by the govt., it's time
to move ]. More often than not, these new homes are amongst regional
jihadists [this doesn't really make sense. actually, these "homes" are
typically ungoverned tribal areas where they can regroup (right, areas
where regional jihadists also congregate. Are you disagreeing that
transnational and local jihadists mix?)] who welcome the transnational
jihadists to live with them in order to learn from them and also out
of local hospitality customs [this sentence woulds definitely need to
be fleshed out - Pakistan offers the best example here]. If
transnational jihadists take hold in an area, it can change the
regional jihadist dynamic: transnational jihadists [what does this
even mean? ] are willing to share their (typically more sophisticated)
technical and operational tradecraft [how do you know this? where's
the proof? we've got lots of links talking about the movement of
jihadists and the new skill sets they bring with them], but their
motivation for fighting is different. Their target is more typically
in the west, against the US and its European allies, which have the
most visible foreign military presence in the Muslim world [yes, but
if they see a gov as in alliance with the West, they'll target them as
well ].
Al Shabab started off as almost a purely Somali based group. However,
as jihadists in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Algeria and Yemen have
been beaten back by national and international forces, Somalia has
emerged as one of the few places in the Muslim world where there
exists no coherent government to fight jihadists: it is the country
where jihadists forces pose the most serious threat of overthrowing
the government. This is hugely attractive to jihadists across the
middle east and the world, because it means that success is most near
at hand in Somalia - this provides a significant incentive for them to
go there to share in the success [i'm not sure where you're seeing
evidence of this. really, this is conjecture. for instance, how do we
know more jihadists are going to Somalia than, say, Yemen? i just
don't see proof of what you're saying. you'd have to qualify this big
time I'm not saying more or going to Somalia than Yemen, I'm saying
that Somalia is more attractive than most other places because the
jihadist movement there has been much more successful than other
places. Yemen is up there, too. On top of this, we know there are
foreign jihadists fighting in Somalia].
However, the mix of regional and transnational jihadists means that
motivations are different [you can define this a lot more precisely.
there's a whole corpus of literature describing the
near-enemy/far-enemy divide. pretty basic stuff and could add the
necessary depth here]. Whereas regional jihadists [again, need to
change the definition/terms used here] are set on achieving power in
their own country [establishing Sahri'a and an Islamic caliphate],
transnational jihadists are typically only concerned [can't exactly
say that.and please stay away from using the word "only" here. indeed,
there has been a very recent and strong trend toward a hybridization
of the near-enemy/far-enemy divide of late. this is precisely what's
happening in Yemen and Somalia] about success in their particular
country (in this case, Somalia) as a means to gain the ability to
launch operations against countries further away [i think you're
blurring these objectives here].
We know that there is a significant population of transnational
jihadists in Somalia from places like Pakistan, Iraq, Algeria, the
Caucasus, Europe, Canada and the US [wording needs to change here for
sure]. Some of these people are ethnic Somalis who have come back home
to fight alongside al Shabab, but many of these fighters have no real
connection to Somalia [many of these foreign fighters?], so even if
they are successful at overturning the TFG (a conflict that is still
very balanced, favoring neither side in particular at the moment) it
is not clear that they would end there.
Already we have seen indications from some Somalis that they are
willing to look outside the Somalia's borders to wage attacks. In
January, 2010, an ethnic Somali man forced his way into the home of a
Danish cartoonist who had drawn images depicting Mohammed. The cartoon
scandal is an issue that has fueled the transnational jihadist
movement, inciting jihadist violence across the world. [there's also
the case of the reported plans to attack an Australian military base
in Austrilia fairly recently]
This attack in January was rudimentary and ultimately failed. If
Somalis were to engage in transnational jihadist activity, we would
not expect them to engage in very sophisticated attacks [why? read the
rest of the paragraph]. Somalia's jihadist insurgency fights much
more like a traditional army than most other jihadist insurgencies
around the world [like, with suicide bombers? i'm not seeing how they
fight conventionally when most of their tactics involve guerilla
warfare - Al Shabab doesn't use suicide operatives very often at all.
Most of their operations involve more traditional armed raids or
shelling of TFG/AU positions. Those kind of tactics don't fly outside
Somalia]. The lack of government control in Somalia means that al
Shabab can operate relatively freely[relatively freely what's the
comment here?] - amassing troops together for large, coordinated armed
assaults against targets. An example of this can be seen in the
attack against a pirate haven in Haradhere in April that involved a
convoy of 12-2- vehicles carrying around 100 fighters. Amassing this
many militants in a place like Pakistan [haven't large numbers of
Taliban forces assaulted American bases at one time? not recently.
when they do they get whacked, so they've learned to operate in
smaller groups
, Iraq or Algeria is unheard of, as it puts the unit at higher risk of
getting found out. Jihadist militants, while well trained [how well
trained? - sometimes better trained than the local police forces
they're going up against], typically cannot hold up against
internationally backed government forces.
However, in Somalia, travelling in large groups and fighting openly
against rivals is common, since there is no government force to stop
them [you're making it sound like there's no resistance to them and
they can do what they want. i'm not sure i've heard this before - not
saying there's no resistance, just more permissive for them to move
around in. we do see them in larger groups - like the raid they did on
haradhere]. Ironically, this actually weakens the transnational
jihadist threat that a force like al Shabab poses. [i don't agree with
this. they still use insurgent tactics and train in guerilla warfare.
i've seen many videos of them doing this. right, see below. my point
is that out of the various aq franchises, al shabab uses the most
traditional tactics of all of them] Unlike most other groups that are
forced to use guerilla tactics all the time, al Shabab does not need
to. When carrying out transnational operations, however, guerilla
tactics are absolutely necessary because they are being used against a
far more superior force that could easily detect and neutralize a
traditional formation of Somali jihadists coming their way. [i still
don't buy that this weakens them as a transnational force.]
That's not to say that al Shabab doesn't possess guerilla tactics [ok.
you make it sound above like they're so heavily focused on
conventional tactics that they don't use guerilla tactics at all
anymore. you should definitely qualify above]. Al Shabab has proven to
have at least one proficient bomb maker who has built several VBIEDs
that have been used highly effectively, showing not just good
bombmaking, but strong operational and intelligence collection
capabilities, as well [which both help for transnational attacks].
Judging by the fact that suicide VBIEDs are relatively new in Somalia,
and that they appeared on the scene around the same time that
transnational jihadists started coming to Somalia, it's very likely
that these more sophisticated, force multiplying tactics such as
suicide bombings are the work of transnational jihadists. These are
the ones who pose the greatest threat to western countries since they
have the capability and intent to conduct attacks against the west.
[yes, this undermines what you're saying above about their capcity to
operate internationally.]
Somalia [which aspect? the geographic features?] and al Shabab provide
these groups [which groups?] with sanctuary since they are also
helpful at helping al Shabab pursue its own targets, but al Shabab
does not need a liability. Transnational jihadists offer many
advantages to a less sophisticated group like al Shabab, but if they
get too ambitious, they also threaten to attract attention from powers
such as the US, which could equally weaken the transnational forces
operating out of Somalia and al Shabab. [well, then this, which i
agree with, really weakens the argument you make in the beginning that
"conditions on the ground in Somalia make al Shabab a likely candidate
for moving into the transnational sector."] (it's a complicated
matter. there are factions within Somalia who likely don't want to go
transnational and factions that do. Let me put it this way, all it
takes is a rogue commander with some autonomy or a Somali militant
returning home to Minneapolis to pull off a very basic attack. Al
shabab doesn't have to unanimously sanction an attack in order for one
to occur. Currently, Somalia is providing militants with a place
where they can train and get experience and mix locals with
transnational jihadists who spread their ideology. That's what I mean
by saying the conditions are right.

Pre- Operative Care All surgery requires careful preparation. You will be contacted by St. Anthony's pre-admission nurses after you and your surgeon have decided on surgery and scheduled the date for your procedure. The nurse will verify pre-operative instructions to follow and tell you what time you need to arrive at the Surgery Center on the day that you're scheduled for surgery. A nurse will admit you and prepare you for surgery. You will be asked to sign necessary forms and verify information. A parent or guardian must sign for a minor (under 18). You will meet with your physician and anesthetist prior to surgery. Nurses will check your vital signs and patient identifiers (name, date of birth, your consent for surgery, surgery site verification and procedure) several times before the procedure begins. Your friends and family members may wait in the lobby while you are in surgery. Patient tracking monitors, in the lobby of the Surgery Center, will keep family members informed about your status as you move from pre-op to the operating room, to post-anesthesia recovery. Pagers are given to family members so that they can visit our Coffee Shop or Cafeteria in the main hospital building and never be out of touch with the Surgery Center.
Post-Operative CareAfter surgery, you will be transferred to the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (recovery area), admitted to a hospital room, or transferred to the Same Day Surgery unit to be prepared for discharge. Your length of stay will depend on the type of surgery and your individual recovery. When you have met the recovery guidelines specified by your doctor, you will be discharged. The Surgery process at St. Anthony has been greatly enhanced to provide competent, caring staff and state-of-the-art technology in modern, convenient facilities. For more information on St. Anthony's wide range of surgical services, please call 794–5206. Back to Surgery Page

Love the way it feels in my hand and its pretty accurate for a 3" barrel. Thanks again for all of your help!!

When the BMW 325i Thermostat reaches a high enough reading, it opens a valve in the radiator and antifreeze flows around the motor. A non-functioning BMW 325i Thermostat has the potential to cause your automobile to quickly overheat, and will break your car's engine. A BMW 325i Thermostat is generally found nestled between your vehicle's radiator and engine and plays the role of an engine valve.
