Seaside Heights EA members from Boyd Elementary School organize supplied donated to them by NJEA members from across New Jersey. Donations also included new materials purchased through the NJEA Hurricane Sandy Back to School Fund.
Super Storm Sandy affected most of us across the state. The storm damaged homes, schools and communities, but not our spirit.
Hugh J Boyd Jr Elementary School in Seaside Heights is located between the Barnegat Bay and the ocean. The island had a mandatory evacuation. The storm flooded the town and devastated property.
That's when NJEA sprang into action. Within days of the storm there was a county union president's meeting to address the immediate needs of our members and school.
Seaside Heights School District is in partnership with Central Regional School District. They opened their doors to us. They cleared out a wing in the high school for us to use as our new school.
When our new school opened on Nov. 12 we were ready. Each returning student received a new backpack filled with school supplies, thanks to NJEA. On the first day about 50 students arrived. Since no one was allowed to return to the island yet, many of our staff reported to work not knowing the fate of their homes.
NJEA had a wonderful plan to help - NJEA Member to Member. We were asked to create a list of items needed. It could be school supplies or personal items to replace things lost in the storm. The response was overwhelming. NJEA members individually as well as local associations provided much needed support to our members and learning community. Student NJEA sent needed school supplies. Even now, this many months after the storm, we continue to receive Member to Member support.
This school year has shown the strength and generosity of NJEA. They are truly the heart and soul of our schools. Thank you all, near and far, for all you have done for the students and staff of HJB.

What is uttered from the heart alone, will win the hearts of others to your own.
Time to train again. I think they should of come up with a better term to call themselves other than "psychicer." Just doesn't have that edge.
What is uttered from the heart alone, will win the hearts of others to your own.
Kinda disappointed that the round turned to be just them against one guy and one monster, I was expecting more adventures this second round (since the first one was just to introduce the world and whatnot); but I hope this time their time in current Japan becomes more interesting than just training
interesting chapter today :O
introduction of two new people, one who is a born psy user then other we have no idea about.

Sergeant salutes 6th-graders for support on tour
GARDEN GROVE – Wyatt Coulombe, 12, popped his head out of his classroom at Enders Elementary School and saw an Army sergeant in fatigues walking toward him.
His eyes lit up. Wyatt ran to the soldier and threw his arms around him, hugging him tight. He hadn't seen his cousin in two years.
Sgt. Brendan Davidson, who returned from a nine-month tour in Afghanistan Feb. 3 and is stationed at Fort Lewis, Wash., spoke to Wyatt's sixth-grade class Wednesday afternoon. It was an opportunity for Davidson, a member of a three-man bomb squad unit, to thank the children for the Christmas cards they sent him and his team, and to answer any questions they had – he discussed everything from his job to his favorite video game.
"I knew they were sending us cards, but I thought it was going to be a couple of cards," Davidson said moments before meeting the students. "But we got a whole box and a wreath, and each guy got a manila envelope full of cards. We were bummed out because it's Christmas and we're away from our families, and to get those cards was really cool."
Davidson, a California native who went to high school in Cypress, is in the middle of a one-month leave and arrived in Orange County just before he was supposed to meet the 26 students in teacher Courtney Holland's class. As Davidson walked into the room and moved to the front, the class was as attentive as if he was their commanding officer and they were infantrymen.
Davidson, though, instantly put the kids at ease – making them laugh several times, break out in cheers once (when he said "Call of Duty: Black Ops II" was his favorite game) and eagerly ask questions right up until the end of the school day.
"They put me in the bomb squad, and I was like, 'This is awesome,'" Davidson said, making the kids chuckle. "I love blowing stuff up."
He continued: "They put me in (bomb squad) school, and it was the hardest thing I've ever done. But it was worth it."
Last year, as Christmas was approaching, Davidson's aunt and Wyatt's mom, Denise Coulombe, told Wyatt's teacher, Courtney Holland, that Davidson would be in Afghanistan for the holidays. So they decided to have the class send him letters.
"I said, 'I miss you and I hope I see you again,'" said Wyatt, who was happy that his class sent cards to his cousin. "I think it was great."
Grace Petesch, 11, also wrote that she would like Davidson to visit: "I said, 'thank you for your service' and 'I hope to meet you someday.'"
Grace's sentiments were a common theme among the letters, according to Holland. They all wanted to meet him.
"They were so thrilled when they found out he was coming," Holland said.
The students asked him a number of questions.
How long does it take to defuse a bomb?
"On a good day, one and a half hours. On a bad day, I'm screaming and it takes three hours."
What does he miss most about the States?
What's his favorite dog?
What's his favorite color?
"Something manly, so black."
Is he going back to Afghanistan?
"I want to go back."
He likes the simplicity of being deployed. He likes his job. He likes saving lives. And so he wants to go back as soon as he can. But that doesn't mean when he is overseas, he doesn't miss being home, especially on Christmas.
"I loved the letters I got," Davidson said in response to the final question, as Coulombe handed out American flags. "All of us were sad, and then we got a ton of letters. We were all so happy. It was really uplifting."

Angels walk off with a 3-2 win over TigersSeptember 7th, 2012, 10:09 pm by LANDON HALL, OCREGISTER.COM
Alberto Callaspo's two-out single in the bottom of the ninth sent the Angels past the Detroit Tigers 3-2 Friday night at Angel Stadium, as the Angels continued their hot streak despite not much offense against Max Scherzer.
Kendrys Morales got aboard with a one-out single in the ninth, and he was pulled for pinch-runner Peter Bourjos. After Howie Kendrick lined out, Erick Aybar reached on an infield single to advance Bourjos to second.
Callaspo then was called on to pinch-hit for Mark Trumbo, who's mired in an 0-for-15 slump. Callaspo got behind 1-2 and then drove a pitch by reliever Octavio Dotel into left field.
The fleet Bourjos probably would have scored in any regard, but the play became moot when Tigers left fielder Andy Dirks misplayed the ball and it got by him.Read the rest of this entry »

Alumni Relations
Dear Alumni & Parents…
CBU alumni have access to many benefits, including the CBU Alumni license plate frame given by the CBU Alumni Association before graduation. We are amazed at the stories sparked by these frames. Here are two that took place recently:
An out-of-state alumna wrote, "When dropping some things off at the post office… an older man (70ish) was standing on the sidewalk when I got out of my car. He told me he followed me down the road because he saw my CBU license plate holder… Turns out he was a pastor in California and his children all attended CBU… I'm thankful our Alma Mater has a reputation and family trustworthy enough to inspire someone to talk to someone they don't know personally but know they are 'family'…"
I also received a call from an alumnus who wanted to replace his old license plate frame. I learned he lives out-of-state and works for a fortune 500 company. I told him one of our 2015 graduates was moving there to begin a position with the same company. Upon her arrival, he will be personally welcoming her to her new career!
Do you have a fun story about a CBU Alumni license plate frame? We would love to hear from you via email, call, post, tweet, Instagram, etc. … or even in person!!
Look for CBU updates in the Roundtable, and be sure to share your own updates with us so we can include them. Make sure we have your current email address so you can receive the monthly Alumni or Parent e-newsletter. And save the date: Homecoming 2015 is Nov. 6 and 7 – we would love to see you there!

Himalania - Chocolate Crunch Goji Berry with Cashews - 3 oz. (85g) Himalania Chocolate Crunch Goji Berry with Cashews has been rigorously selected for the finest ingredients possible in Himalania Chocolate Crunch Goji Berry with Cashews. Himalania Chocolate Crunch Goji Berry with Cashew's little crunch morsels of pistachios are lightly glazed and slowly dry-roasted with a touch of Himalayan Pink Salt and Dark chocolate. Himalania Chocolate Crunch Goji Berry with Cashews contains Goji berries, one of the world's most nutritious fruits. They are rich in age drying antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Goji Berry, The Most Famous Berry In The HimalayasDiscovered in the Himalayas, it is thought to have existed at least since the time of Shen Nong, the first great Chinese herbalist who lived around 2,800 BC. the Goji berry is considered to be one of the world's most nutrient rich fruits. Goji berries have enjoyed a privileged place in oriental culture, having been used in traditional Asian medicine for thousands of years. Herbalist doctors believe the saying "Goji preserve people's health." A bowl of fresh Goji berries is part of the daily life of the Tibetan monks. The legend says that Goji berries have been used in Tibetan and Chinese Medicines for centuries, they are even mentioned in one of the oldest Chinese poem anthologies called "Chinese Verses"dating from the Zhou Dynasty (770-256 BC). The Goji berry, which is considered in Asia as an herb, has been included in a number of Chinese herb remedies. Goji berries are regarded as a national treasure in China. Goji berry is a pronunciation in Chinese for Lycium (Latin word). The botanical name for Himalayan Goji berries is Lycium Barbarum I. Since Goji berries are becoming more and more popular and familiar in the West, the term 'Goji berry' became a commodity name for all sources of Lycium berry. The word Goji comes from the Chinese "Gou qi" or "Gou qi zi" pronounced Goo-ji-zi, and which progressively merged into "Goji". It is incorrect to say that Wolfberries and Goji berries are two different species. Please note that the word Wolfberry is used by westerners as a translation for Goji berries. Himalania Goji berries are grown organically by local farms in China. Himalania Goji berries have been certified by the USDA as 100% organic which is very rare for Goji berries. Benefits of Covered Goji Berries Goji berries are found to contain 18 Amino Acids (six times higher than bee pollen), more Beta Carotene than carrots, more Iron than spinach and 21 Trace Minerals. Goji berries also contain Vitamin B1, B2, B6 and Vitamin E (rarely found in fruits). The Goji berry contains more Vitamin C by weight than oranges! Goji berries are 13% protein! This bright red berry also contains many complex compounds, and polynutrients, which explains in part, the incredible health benefits being experienced by people today. The Goji berry also contains extremely high levels of antioxidants. It is quite possibly the highest antioxidant food on Earth. Goji berries contain numerous complex compounds such as Betaine, Physalin, Solavetivone, Beta-Sitoserol and Cyperone. The Goji berry is also called the worlds most powerful anti-aging food. It is rated #1 on the ORAC scale (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), which measures the antioxidant level in foods. Our bodies are constantly being bombarded by these free radicals because of the air we breathe, the water we drink, the pesticides on our fruits and vegetables, the chemicals we clean with, the preservatives in our processed food, etc... Goji berries have an exceptionally dense concentration of polysaccharides (complex carbohydrates) bolsters the body's ability to fight disease by activating proteins in the immune system. Goji berries have antioxidant carotenoids and flavonoids which protect the body from free-radical damage, which can cause disease and aging. Carotenoids-especially beta carotene, a vitamin A precursor-also improve vision. In addition, the fruit has significant amounts of vitamins (B1 thiamin) and (B2 riboflavin), which are essential to the body's production of energy. Its high vitamin C content about 73 mg per 100 g (or three handfuls) or dried Goji berries-promotes immunity. Goji berries also contain betaine, an alkaloid that helps produce choline, a compound that strengthens the liver. Trace minerals in Goji berries, such as iron, zinc, and selenium, also work to enhance immunity. Iron combats anemia by stimulating red blood cell production; zinc helps reproduce and repair cells, and selenium works with vitamin E to prevent free radical damage to cells.

As you guys know, we've been running around the Coterie and Capsule trade shows early this week, and we've seen a lot of innovative new takes on marketing jeans. One of our favorites is the Hudson Jeans x isko collaboration (isko is a Turkish denim mill), which resulted in a denim knit material so easy to move in that they went as far as enlisting ballerinas to prance around in the jeans. Indeed, they dance uninhibited by the material, which is awesome to behold. But our favorite part was the actual marketing material, which comes in computer hardware plastic wrapping and includes a flipbook of a dancer performing in the jeans, a flash drive featuring a promotional video, and a swatch of the fabric. This is one piece of promo we'll be keeping around the office.
Check out the flipbook!

Skip to comments.THE "ILLEGAL sURRENDER", THAT'S WHAT THE BOTTOM LINE IS!
Posted on 01/22/2007 10:48:38 AM PST by Tawkit
Our politicians are contemplating the illegal surrender of the sovereignty of the United States of America to Mexico!
They know by legalizing the illegal aliens, the Mexican population will exceed the American peoples population in a matter of years! They have been told on the Senate floor by the Heritage Foundation and Senator Jeff Sessions.
Therefore by the politicians giving the illegal aliens citizenship and legal rights. The politicians are knowingly and willfully putting the Mexican people in the majority of the population of the U.S. and with their Votes, the Mexicans will come to be the Political Power of The United States!
If enacted the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act (CIRA, S. 2611) would be the most dramatic change in immigration law in 80 years, allowing an estimated 103 million persons to legally immigrate to the U.S. over the next 20 years fully one-third of the current population of the United States. http://www.heritage.org/Research/Immigration/wm1076.cfm
U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) today unveiled an impact analysis that shows the Senate immigration bill should it become law would permit up to 217.1 million new legal immigrants into the United States over the next 20 years, a number equal to 66 percent of the total current population. http://sessions.senate.gov/pressapp/record.cfm?id=255553&&
The politicians know the illegal aliens on a whole are costing the American taxpayers $BILLIONS$ of dollars right now! Thats breaking the backs of the middle class! By allowing the North American Union (NAU) to go through it will be the illegal surrender of the our Nations sovereignty to Mexico!
Is this Constitutional? Does this constitute Treason? Can we sue? Can we run with this idea?
I have heard in more that one, inaugural speech and political speech ,the Politicians saying, its their job as a politician to think 30 years in advance for the good of the Nation.
Our politicians cant think past their noses! Or shall I say, They cant think past the linings of their pockets!!!!!

Welcome to the New World Order mi amigo!
Let's chat about it.
Go right ahead, Ben. Give us your complete synopsis of how this is good for America. We're listening.
Regards, Ivan
Do you want to go thru them one by one?
"Do you want to go thru them one by one?"
No, I asked for a COMPLETE SYNOPSIS. Start a thread. Allow the rest of us to respond to YOUR opinion.
"Pols are simply a reflection of your fellow Americans."
LOL! That's the silliest thing I've heard all day. ALL YEAR!
LOL, assuming you forgot your sarcasm tag?
Or are the pols not voted into office by our fellow Americans? Therefore those pols reflect their constituents?
As I have pointed out before, people like to exxagerate. It may-might-could. They think it makes their argument more plausible. The problem with this is often the exxageration goes beyond common sense. For example, some exxagerate the number of illegals in the country and sometimes they use a number that is higher than the total hispanic population.
Same case in this post. Simply looking at the population of Latin America and the birth/fertility rates you see that the numbers are not plausible.
So let me set you straight.
Immigration rates will remain relatively high. In order to maintain the economic output, the population growth rate will need to be around 1%, or slightly less. Since the domestic birthrate does not achieve this, the difference will be immigration.
And as the demographic projections show, hispanics will eventually be the majority.
As for your phrasing, "how is this good for America", I will respond by asking you "how is the alternative good for America".
You say you do not not mind conditional workers, with ID, sponsor, health checks, etc, aka guest workers. But the fact is that there were 3 such plans put forward and none of them were able to get past the BorderBots. Plus the BorderBots have blocked the H1B temp visa increase.
This old crap about illegal versus legal has worn out. Obviously, the short run hispanic population growth in the US would be affected by whether or not the illegals are given legal status. But in the long run, it will have little effect on the total numbers. For example, more hispanics are entering Texas via the birth canal than by crossing the river.
Let me give you a another good example of the lie. The poster at the top of the thread quotes Sen Session's exxagerations about what would happen if CIRA were enacted. But Sen Sessions is not saying what will happen is CIRA is defeated. He is trying to appeal to your emotion, rather than you intellect.
You would be wise to recognize that there are two sets of facts, the facts that you use and the facts used by those that create legislation and policy. You would also be wise to recognize that political rhetoric is not fact and is only being used to fool you.
You are like many. Given the facts as you know them, you can not understand why Congress does what it does. Because of this, you can only conclude that it is a sinister plot to destroy the nation. Immigration reform is a plot. Totalization is a plot. SPP is a plot. The highway is a plot.
You would be wise to seek out the real facts.
The extremists have thought, and will continue to think, that issues and the facts surrounding the issues are between the far right and the middle. That was never the case and it will never be the case.
The issue and the facts surrounding the issues are between the GOP and dems. And the GOP lost. That is the proof that the extremists refuse to believe.
One good example besides immigration. The extremists have been saying that that Bush's/GOP's free trade agreements were bad for the country. Now that the dems hold congress, Bush will have to renogotiate Peru, Columbia, and Panama. To the benefit of the unions.
Do you think the RNC memos are right? Will the GOP be out of power for a generation or possibly for ever.
"Wrong. I don't set the facts. I don't depend on FR for the facts."
OK, I'll bend. Please tell me where I, a common man, can get the REAL facts? BTW: I don't care what the RNC says or does. They have lost my support. I'm a Conservative not a repub.
This may be bad news for you. There is no one there to spoon feed the facts to you. Always beware of those that try to spoon feed you.
For example: After the Senate completed their bill last spring, Sessions sprang forth with info presented to the Judiciary Committee by an economist that said that illegals and legals drive down wages.
But, for those who didn't want to listen to Sessions' interpretation of the facts, the Judiciary Committee has a website where testimony from 5 economists could be read. Of course the other economists disagreed with the economist that Sessions was quoting. The degree to which wages are depressed is really small. Plus, the US has a bountiful safety net for low wage earners.
Add to this, Sessions' was taking statements from the economists testimony out of context. He was actually talking about how the low skill/low wage workers benefit in comparison to semi-skilled and high skilled. If you bring in a lot of low skilled workers the semi and high skilled workers will benefit relatvely more. Converely, if you bring in a lot of high skilled workers, the semi and low skilled workers would benefit relatvely more.
All this confirms the study done by the Dallas Fed Bank several years ago on the economic benefits of immigration to the SW US.
It is also in line with Greenspans concept of a robust labor supply as an inflation beater.
The good thing about the internet is that you or I can find out what we need to know. We don't have to rely on what Dan Rather or Senator Sessions tell us.
"Always beware of those that try to spoon feed you."
You seem to have all the *REAL* facts, Ben. Should I be wary of you? You hardly ever answer a direct question and seem to have more of an agenda than most. You'd like for me and others to come around to your way of thinking but, you see, not everyone thinks illegal immigration, globalism or highways operated by foreign entities, is good for America.
Let's try this one more time. If laws regarding immigration, in place today, are not being enforced or adhered to, what would be the benefit of having a NEW comprehensive plan?
Its a lot of work, and as an individual, you have to make choices on what issues you pursue.

This alluring vase-style Lillianna lamp will be a perfect centerpiece for your home! Made from 474 pieces of cut glass and 51 cabochons, this lamp offers a cheerful tawny yellow color accented with cardinal red and rose hues. Try placing this piece in your living room on a side table, or for a twist place this on the counter in the kitchen. This will be the perfect gift to give in lieu of a bouquet of flowers!
Made from glass, metal and resin, this lamp measures 17"H and with an 8-1/2" shade diameter. The lamp uses one 60-watt Type A bulb (not included) and operates on an inline switch. Clean with a damp, clean cloth. Dry with soft, clean cloth. Low level of assembly is required (approximately 5 minutes). UL approved; for indoor use only.
Please Note: We make every effort to ensure colors are represented accurately online. However, due the nature in which these lamps are crafted, slight color variations in stained glass are normal and help to make each lamp beautifully unique. Also, the appearance of the colors in the shade will be dependent on the lighting in the room. Cloth shades with a pattern may vary because of how the fabric is cut.
California Residents Only, Click Here: "Proposition 65" WARNING
A good lighting scheme is arguably the most important aspect of decorating and the most powerful way to define a room's ambiance. Choosing the right types of lighting requires knowing a little something about the different purposes lighting can serve, the types of lamps and shades available, what some technical terms mean, and how to tailor a lighting scheme to your specific room and needs.
Table lamps are perhaps the most common type of lamp used today. They generally range in height from 25" to 32", and they often serve double roles as task lighting and accent lighting. Because of this, most people choose to use medium-watt, soft-light bulbs in their table lamps. When choosing a table lamp, the shade needs to be in proportion to the lamp's base, as well as with the surrounding furniture. The shade should be at eye level when you're seated, and the bulb should not be visible. Generally speaking, shorter lamps should be placed on taller tables, and taller lamps should be placed on shorter tables. This will help keep everything in room balanced and at eye level.
Types of lighting: Lighting falls into three categories: ambient, task and accent lighting. Well-lit rooms feature a combination of the three, allowing you to be comfortable without squinting or straining your eyes. The number and types of fixtures will vary with your room sizes, décor and personal preferences.
You have the perfect lamp and you've carefully chosen a shade for it, but what kind of light bulb should you choose? You may not think much about light bulbs, but the kind you choose has the greatest impact on the overall effect and effectiveness of your lamp. Many people make the mistake of buying a light bulb more powerful than they need for a particular lamp. This unfortunately can make a lamp so intense or distracting that it is rarely used. The simple solution to this problem is to use a smaller bulb. Most table and accent lamps require no more than a 60-watt bulb, even if they are rated for something much higher. While it's very important to never exceed the recommended bulb wattage for a lamp, there is nothing wrong with using a less-powerful bulb.
Aside from wattage, there are other factors to consider when choosing a light bulb. Light bulbs come in four basic types: incandescent, fluorescent, compact fluorescent and halogen.

Tacoma frame rust warranty expired without notice
Wish this was a more positive post however I am looking for feedback on a dilema with my Tacoma.
Let me start by saying that I have owned a Toyota truck since 1978 and have been evangilistic about the brand and now my Wife, Mom, Brother and two Sisters all own Toyotas.
I travel quite a bit for work and my 2001 Tacoma only has 67K on the odometer as of today. It was at the dealer for the 50K service in 2009 and three times since to fix a nagging A/C problem.Last month I noticed some rust developing along the top of the windshield so I called my dealer here in Minnesota who directed me to the dealer network collision center Luther Collision who handles all of their body work. They told me the entire roof needed to be cut off and it would cost roughly 4K to fix.
This is not the bad part! After some research I discovered the Service Campaign regarding the frame rust an my truck was a candidate. Not having received any notices by mail I called the dealer only to find out they had the wrong address for me. I then called Toyota and was assigned a case number / worker and when I asked her the address they had on file for me she provided the same incorrect address that the dealer had.
Turns out my frame is rusted to the point of being too dangerous to drive and the Service Campaign ended in December 2012. The Toyota case worker then said that she verified that they had somehow mailed the notices to the correct address and that the case was closed and I had no valid claim and was left with the defective frame.
At this point I called both the dealer and Toyota case worker back and they admitted having the wrong address on file for me while I recorded the conversation with an iPhone recording appplication.
So where do I go from here? I love the truck however did need a bigger engine to tow with and it is at the time interval I usually trade my trucks but now I think it is worth next to nothing.
Should I contact a lawyer?
Toyota should be ashamed for treating such a long term loyal customer with such disgrace.
Any feedback from the group or mediators would be very much appreciated!

rustytacoma Posts: 1Bill, i had a similar situation. Was told the frame was rusty and took it in to an official toyota dealer today and they said i shouldnt even drive the truck away. I've been sick and had to move to another state for treatment. I didnt get my mail all the time and when i did i was too sick to handle this matter. They basically said, "sorry our offer expired" even though i had called in a year earlier and gotten a case number and they never got back to me about what to do about servicing my rust issue even though the truck is now not in a cold weather state (where they offer the service). They were totally rude and it was quite upsetting. SHAME ON YOU TOYOTA for making clearly a faulty product the customer's fault.
szphllps Posts: 1Bill it is December 2012-maybe you made a mistake on your date? My husband just had an excellent experience with the Toyota Buy Back in North Carolina (Nov. 2012). Keep pushing it & good luck!
bsenter Posts: 1Hello Toyota Fans,
I just wanted to share my most recent experience with you all regarding my 2003 Toyota Tacoma truck. Please read...
I own and bought new a 2003 Toyota Tacoma from Rockingham Toyota in Salem, NH.
I was just informed by my mechanic on 12/5/2012 that my truck would not pass Mass state inspection due to a trouble code (check engine light) and most importantly that my frame was completely rusted through and that my Toyota truck was unsafe to drive. I personally verified this by crawling under my Toyota truck and poking my fingers through the frame. My Toyota Tacoma is ready to fold in half due to the extent of frame rust.
After contacting Toyota in California (phone 800 331 4331) and discussing the safety issue with the assigned case manager Eric Back, I was told that there was nothing that could be done to rectify this unsafe condition. I also contacted Rockingham Toyota in Salem, NH. and they would take no responsibility for this unsafe condition. They mentioned that the safety recall "program" had expired. As a note: I received no notification regarding this serious safety recall.
I am now the proud owner of a Toyota Tacoma that is unsafe to drive and is realistically worth less than nothing.
Honestly,.. Until 12/5/2012, I loved this truck and had faith in Toyota's commitment towards its' customers,... Now I have serious doubt in their commitment or concerns towards customers' safety.
This Toyota Tacoma is-- NO "WAS" my only means of transportation!
What can I do???? Any thoughts???
Brian Senter
Ohhhh what a feeling!
Toyota has left me hanging. My 2003 Toyota Tacoma with 105,000 miles is un-driveable, due to a rusted frame. And because the recall "program" expired last year, they will offer nothing to correct the problem, claiming that I received seven (yes 7) recall notices. Why would I not respond to or acknowledge seven recall notices??? Because I never received them!
My last contact at Toyota was with the Executives office 310-974-7521 where I was informed by Deborah Houston that I was not going to be compensated, my frame would not be replaced and no favorable resolve (for me) was available. Well,..Of course she did offer a possible $1250.00 towards another new or used Toyota, because I am a loyal customer.
Thank You Toyota,... Thank you Deborah.
Stay tuned folks. I'll be posting some great pictures of the underside of my truck with my hand through what used to be a frame rail.
Best of luck to any future or present Toyota owners.

Toyota case #1212062051
1/9/2013 My son's 2003 Toyota Tacoma has been in three times to have the frame checked for this recall. Undercoating was offered, but never was it said that the undercoating was required in order to keep the recall valid. Monday this truck was in for put up on a lift for repairs and the frame buckled in half right behind the cab. We have pictures. We've contacted Toyota in California and have gotten the same response you have. The last time this truck's frame was inspected and deemed ok by Berlin City (NH)Toyota was Aug. 2010. In Dec. 2012 it buckles in half. Toyota doesn't think they have a problem. Right now I am grateful that my son's truck broke in the last snow storm and had to be towed. This frame could have buckled while he was driving.
I would really appreciate any information anyone has on how to deal with Toyota about this.
Interesting that they offered you a "possible 1250.00 towards another Toyota--given the situation we are in (like you this was his only transportation and he needs to get to work) and the seriousness of what has happened to the truck--does Toyota seriously think that we would buy another of their vehicles???
Good luck to you and please let me know if you find out any new directions to pursue this.
Can you tell us more details about how the buy back worked for your husband? There seems to be a wide variety of things told to different people by different dealers and the headquarters in Ca. refuse to take any responsibility. We want to pursue this, but can't afford a lawyer and Toyota will have a fleet of lawyers that can bury any individual lawyer. Any details and insights you can give us would be appreciated. Thanks SNoel
rusteedoff Posts: 1Maybe trying to get a story on the news about the danger of the rusting frame would help. I haven't seen or heard anything about it in the media. Maybe if a small group picketed outside of a Toyota dealer some news agency would pick up the story. I had a chunk of metal handed to me by the guy who intalled my completely rusted out shocks. My bumper is swiss cheese and the spots all over the hood are getting worse every day. Someone told me the ball joint came apart when they turned the wheel and now I am afraid of my truck.
chemicalgutter Posts: 1I purchased my truck a year ago. Just the other day, I noticed some rust on the frame and decided to research some, since this seemed worse than normal. After looking at some of these forums, I decided to give the local dealer a call. They said that my truck was part of the recall and that I should bring it in to have it inspected for rust. After inspecting for rust holes and finding them, they contacted the claim center where this claim was denied stating that the offer had expired. I never got anything in the mail notiftying me of this. So with little data besides that, I opened up a case at the Toyota Customer Care Center (case # 1301302599). After 3 business days of waiting (supposedly next business day service), I finally got in touch with the case manager, Nicole, who promptly told me that the 15 year warranty on my 2001 Tacoma, had expired, due to it never receiving the corrosion protection. She stated that the warranty expired in September 2011, since the rust protection was never applied. Since I bough the truck in January 2012, after the expiration, there was nothing I could have done different, besides not buy the truck. I have been a die hard Toyota fan and owner for the past 12 years I have been driving, but I am beginning to step back and start to wonder if there is something fishy going on here.
From reading on here, I am doubtful on whether the previous owner ever received the letter in the mail. Why would anybody ignore a letter like that?? Is there anything I can do?
KCRam Mt. Arlington NJPosts: 3,516From all I've learned throughout this whole thing, it appears you're stuck with a truck that is dangerous to drive.
Remember one thing - I know it's convenient/common for people to refer to this as a recall, but it's not. A recall can't expire, per federal law. This is a voluntary service program from within Toyota, thus they can set their own rules for it, including having an expiration date.

j120572 Posts: 1I now do work for a dealer that deals with toyota, ford, and general motors. I've heard nothing but how consumer reports bash the domestics and praise toyota and a couple other foreign vehicles. Well I know this because of my job and what I see with my own eyes, these foreign vehicles do not compair in quality. So why does everyone praise them when the frames are pop can thin, even the full size tundra does not come close in comparision with the big 3 domestics. I see a lot of chevy and fords come in with 300k plus miles, and you never hear of this. But if its a toyota or another foreign made its on the front page of the paper. I also see the service departments of these and a lot more fairly new vehicles that are foreign then the big 3. Why has the news media never reported toyotas frames so bad they just buckle, and not far out of warrantee, but gm according to the news media just had the biggest recall ever. Well this re3call they claim that has killed people was nothing more than the key were it connects to your keyring. Says in my manual not to have a bunch of keys on that ring. People put there getto fabulous key chains and so much junk hanging on it that the weight turns the ignition off while driving. this is made national news, which is the owner or drivers fault, but not a word of frames so thin that they rust and unsafe to drive way before they should. Everyone, just keep reading consumer reports that's in toyotas pocket and believe whatever they report. Myself I'm going to go buy what I see first and and stick for ford or gm.

Hello, I have a 2003 Tacoma and just found out today that the frame is rusted through. My truck was at a shop getting a brake control put on for our camper. The service man told us he could not do the work because the frame is shot. I called my Toyota dealer today and have an appointment in 3 days with them. I was told they would have to take pictures and submit them to Toyota. This is pretty upsetting since I did have the rust coating applied by my dealer before the expiration date. I was also told this would extent the rust proof coverage until 2017. We have a 7 day camping trip coming up and several more in the future. Now what's going to happen?? Toyota better make this right since everything was done by the dealer and before any expiration dates

Please don't hit me, but I could really use a little help.
I'm a Yota fan, I was about to buy a 2004. I'm in NC, it is and has been.
It's a 2004 crew Prerunner Trd. 6cyl 108800 miles.
Please, can you point me to some info and steer me right on what I'm looking for if it's not apparent just checking it out from what you can see on a lift?
I'm prepared to hear you say don't do it. I haven't been under it, but before I accept it I'm already scheduled to have my good friend/mechanic to look at it at his shop.
Is this rust a definite in these years or are there different frame materials?
I sincerely appreciate your input
billfromroch Posts: 1Count me in here. 2003 Tacoma extended cab, 4WD, etc.. I love(d) this truck! Only 80,000 miles on it. Took it to the dealer a while back for a recall I found on line and they told me about the frame problems. Then they say I could have mine replaced if I would have showed up before the campaign was over. This really sucks. The rest of the truck looks and drives great but now it needs a new inspection and I'm afraid it won't pass. I called into Toyota and a very nice woman told me I'm SOL. I bought the truck brand new because of Tacoma's high resale value. And i really liked it. Now I stare at it in my driveway and winter is coming.
Pissed off Toyota customer,
aholaday Posts: 1Until a week ago, I respected Toyota, but they did me wrong, and I want to tell my story. If one person reads this and has a better outcome than me, fantastic. If a lot of people read this and Toyota gets slapped, then my mission will be accomplished.
TL/DR: I know a lot of you have Toyotas, and I hope you are happy with them. Please get your vehicle's frame checked regularly. Some models have a severe problem with frame rust, making them profoundly unsafe. Unlike other vehicle safety issues you may have heard about, there is *no recall* for this, and as I found out, there is no remedy for the owner either.
On 12/1/2014 I took our 2002 Toyota Tacoma to our usual shop for what I thought would be regular mechanical repairs (I thought my alternator was failing).
What happened was the mechanics said the truck's frame — that huge piece of metal that everything is built upon — was so badly rusted they would not even put the truck on a lift. They said they literally have had Toyota trucks break in two in their shop, while on a lift, due to rusted frames. I'm not talking about surface rust here. I'm talking about a hole big enough to pass my hand through.
It turns out Toyota knows about this problem too, but somehow no regulatory action has ever occurred. No recall was ever issued. On the internet I learned Toyota ran a "program" (from 2009 to 2012, I believe) where they were compensating owners with these frame problems. So I called Toyota corporate. The rep confirmed there was indeed a "program", and mailed owners about it several times. Mind you, I was the second owner. I emphatically told her I never received notices of the program, and didn't know about the rust until 12/1/2014. Nevertheless, Toyota closed my case by telling me the "program" closed and they will take no further action. None.
So what I thought was a $5000 asset is actually a $200 scrap heap that isn't even safe to drive. Toyota knew about this material defect, didn't care that I didn't get the memo (the rep herself suggested these might have been mailed to the previous owner — HELLO?), and basically I showed up too late to be remedied.
Needless to say, I will not be shopping for a Toyota any time soon. And I promised the rep (who was very polite, and I did not blame her personally), that I would do my best to prove to Toyota that while they may have closed their financial liability on this rust problem, they can expect to feel the impacts of bad publicity for not taking care of the customers who slipped through the cracks.
snappy10 Posts: 2We certainly never received any notices at any time. No one in their right mind would ever ignore them. We have lived in the same spot for 23 years. Tell me how many times you sent me a notice! I dare Toyota! It looks as if it would have made zero difference if one had complied with that "program" anyway.
stan6669 Posts: 1I'm sorry if I come across like a jerk to anyone but anyone they has any problem with this recall ending and I'm not getting notifications through the mail its not Toyotas job to figure out where you live they have millions and millions and millions of customers worldwide. your job to make sure your mail is forwarded to the right location if you have moved and anywhere that you deal with and do business with has your accurate mailing address. Toyota goes further than any manufacturer I've ever seen go for their customers to make them happy from warranty to recall to Goodwill warranty when you're out of your normal warranty mileage to normal everyday services.
philoman Posts: 1I just found out that my 2002 Tacoma has frame rust behind the front wheels and is unsafe to drive. It only has 106,000 miles. The local Toyota dealer is researching what can be done. I have heard some things about a 15 year time frame for recall. If Toyota doesn't do anything about it is there a class action suit going on? Is there any good news out there ? I bought it used and have had no info from Toyota about this issue. I think the car was originally from the east coast but I live on the west coast.

yotanky Posts: 1My husband's frame on his 2001 Tacoma just broke recently. We were unaware of any recalls related to the frame, or any other issues. We are also loyal Toyota customers, along with many friends and relatives, and recently purchased our 4th vehicle, (my 2nd Highlander). We have always stood by the saying "you can't go wrong, owning a Toyota."
My husband LOVES his truckand wants to replace the frame, however I am just now stumbling upon this information and am not sure what to think or where to begin with reading so many complaints about the frame and Toyotas failure to satisfy their customers as well as the safety of its passengers.

Sports Medicine - Dr. Moalemi specializes in preventing, diagnosing and treating injuries related to participating in sports and/or exercise, specifically the rotation or deformation of joints or muscles caused by engaging in such physical activities.
Pain Management - There is currently no universally accepted classification of pain management techniques for back pain or neck pain. In general, pain management techniques can be grouped in terms of their invasiveness. Some, such as physical therapy, are not invasive at all and do not inherently involve the use of medications. Other pain management techniques, such as pain medications, are purely pharmacologic in nature, while still others involve invasive techniques such as injections. Some pain management techniques fall into two or more groups, such as injections, which invasively introduce medications into the body.
Acupuncture - Acupuncture is a treatment based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a system of healing that dates back thousands of years. At the core of TCM is the notion that a type of life-force, or energy, known as qi (pronounced "chee") flows through channels in the body called "meridians." Each meridian connects to one specific organ, or group of organs, that governs particular bodily functions. When too little or too much qi exists in a meridian or when qi stagnates or is blocked, illness results. Acupuncture treatment consists of inserting thin stainless-steel needles at various points on the body, known as "gateways," to unblock or rebalance the flow of qi.
Physical Rehabilitation - is used to develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and functional ability throughout life. This includes providing services in circumstances where movement and function are threatened by aging, injury, disease or environmental factors. Functional movement is a central element in what it means to be healthy.
Spinal Decompression - Spinal Decompression was developed to effectively treat lower back pain and sciatica resulting from herniated or deteriorated discs. Spinal Decompression not only significantly reduces back pain in many patients, but also enables the majority of patients to return to more active lifestyles. Spinal Decompression uses state of the art technology to apply a distraction force to relieve nerve compression often associated with low back pain and sciatica. Spinal Decompression has been proven effective in relieving the pain associated with bulging and herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and even relapse or failed back surgery.

Posted on 05/14/2013 7:10:50 PM PDT by DogByte6RER
The United Nations Says We Should All Be Eating Insects
The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), a part of the United Nations, has released a report saying that we should all get ready to start eating insects. Theres a certain amount of truth in the report but not all that much:
World population is slated to top nine billion by 2050, and seeing as how arable land is being rapidly swallowed by towns and cities, oceans are increasingly overfished, and climate change is disrupting traditional farming, a new United Nations study proposes a twist on Marie Antoinettes dietary advice: let them eat bugs.
Common prejudice against eating insects is not justified from a nutritional point of view, write the authors of a 191-page report (PDF) released by the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) entitled Edible insects: Future prospects for food and feed security.
The true parts of the report are that yes, insects are indeed highly nutritious. Theyre also a very efficient method of turning various forms of vegetable matter into proteins and other materials that humans can actually digest: we do better eating a locust that has eaten the grass than we would eating the grass directly. Its also true that theres plenty of insects to eat, even that with some decent saucing they can be very tasty (well, OK, some of them).
Finally, almost all of us have eaten insect derived products, if not an entire bug itself directly. Cochineal is a widely used food dye and its derived from a bug that feeds on cacti.
(Excerpt) Read more at forbes.com ...
To busy eating dead cow.
For reference ...
The full report is here:
Edible insects
Future prospects for food and feed security
So... a group of international cockroaches advocates eating insects? Do they expect they will be eaten last?
They discuss these things over filet mignon and lobster.
I`ll eat their bugs when they eat my sh!t!
Of course!!
I was thinking that if they really want to eat insects so much, they can eat crap, it's usually covered with them.
Then they will complain that the world is being overbugged. (If overfishing means taking too many fish, overbugging means taking too many bugs.)
Is it me, or does the decor in the top photo look like some sort of weird pagan cross, like they are mocking Christ?
Some aver that the lobster is a kind of bug anyhow.
What is wrong with these people?
Better question perhaps " what is Not wrong with them?"
Two projector screens on either side of their pillar, but it does look rather cross-y. One could take it in more than one way... maybe it's the Lord's way of telling those folks "not so fast!"
So...if we make a 'Big Gulp' sugary drink with cicadas and cock roaches....will Nanny Bloomberg approve?
John the Baptist (ok, he was not a Methodist or a Lutheran) ate wild honey and locusts, the only bug permitted by the Mosaic law for food.
Fried meal worms are tasty.
Crickets and grasshoppers are Kosher.
Wasn't familiar with the cricket, but the locust/grasshopper is definitely on the okay diet list for the Hebrew people.
Hakuna Matata!
It means no worries, for the rest of your days... it's a problem free, philosophy, Hakuna Matata!
Trickle-Up-Poverty, coming to a city near you...
No end of Asian Stinkbugs here especially in the spring, hell leave a plate out and they will sooner or later hang out on it.
P.S. On NPR today, they had a segment about an invasive species cooking festival down here in South Florida.
Apparently burmese python is pretty decent and land snails are a delicacy in Nigeria.
An "ink blot" test? I guess it could be, sorta, depends on what you`re thinking at the time. When I think UN, its more along the lines of the devil and not god.
You don't want to know what I suggest THEY eat!
I lived in Maryland (DC/Baltimore area) in 2004 or 2003 (I think) when the cicadas came there. It was apocalyptic at times. I had to stand on a white roof at the Anna Rundle Mills Mall checking a roof leak in the midst of what seemed like a storm of cicadas. I thought I was in a sci-fi movie. They were in my hair, down my shirt. I finally had enough and gave into my inner wuss. Got on the radio and called it off.
BTW - Dogs love cicadas. It's like ice cream raining from the heavens. No harm until they eat 10 pounds of them. I have pictures of dog puke with bug parts and some bugs still with moving legs.
Have fun!
Tuna with patatas? I`ll take that over their bugs any day!
I've heard locusts can be quite tasty.
I really have no problem with insect eating, actually.
But eating insects because one finds them tasty, or one is starving is one thing...having nut case potentates at the UN saying we Must eat insects is a whole other story.
Now you are talking. I love mud bugs. (crawdads)
ummm ummm ummmm
"Trickle-Up-Poverty, coming to a city near you..."
They will be especially tasty after being grilled over a dung fire in my mud hut. And you won't believe how much money I'll save, and how good I will feel living in solidarity with the world's less fortunate.
(I'm pretty sure they can't read ALL my emails, but just in case.)
I've had some chocolate covered insects and they were crunchy & not bad -— IF you're starving.
OK. When I see a full video of all UN members and staffers feasting on a plate of bugs, and eating it all, I'll take them seriously.
OK, you first
If you are what you eat then that'll make em all needled..uh bugf..uh you know what I mean.
I learned from a Navy Seal that insects are much more palatable if you remove the legs, wings, and antennae.
Important culinary tip, that.
You never know when it could come in handy!
Right up there with "Don't cross the streams."
BTW - Dogs love cicadas. It's like ice cream raining from the heavens. No harm until they eat 10 pounds of them. I have pictures of dog puke with bug parts and some bugs still with moving legs.
Ha! You're right. ....Had a little mutt terrier about 15 lbs. in size. Had a tall and spreading mesquite tree in backyard. Cicadas came out in mid-1970s here. After work and changing clothes, I'd grab my BB-gun and that dog was trying to open the patio glass door!
With a cold brew at hand, I'd shoot the little beasties out of the upper branches of the tree and the mutt would be watching intently. When I hit one he would often catch it before it hit the ground. ...It was one of his favorite times (and mine).

"I have ordered this card twice, once for both of my girls. These cards are beautifully designed and give you the option for multiple pictures, easy to read information and even a quote you can change on the bottom. The cards have a nice sturdy paperweight and the photos are printed beautifully. I would recommend these cards."
"We chose this design because of the simplicity. It wasn't too frilly or busy. Just simple. It turned out great. We went with the signature Matte after reading other reviews... it was perfect. I liked how heavy the paper was, and our image, which was very bright colorful turned out looking great. I had friends comment on how great the card turned out. I was a little disappointed in the printing, there was a very faint stripe that went down the center of each of my cards, as if the printer was running out of ink. However, it was very slight, and I probably only noticed it because I was looking for any problems. I'm not sure anyone else would look close enough to notice it."
"I chose this birth announcement for its classic qualities. It complimented our newborns picture and the text size, color and font were perfect accents. Easy to make and love being able to see the finished product. Paper was heavy and sturdy. We have received several compliments on this announcement."
"These announcements are phenomenal and far exceeded my expectations. The paper quality was outstanding and my photo looked better than I could have even imagined. My son's shirt in the picture had green stripes, so the design team matched the pattern on the back to his shirt at no cost. The designer called me and communicated with me verbally about the customization and send me a digital proof for my approval. It was exactly what I was hoping for! The icing on the cake was that the announcements were delivered ahead of schedule--even with the custom design work. I have received several phone calls from recipients telling me how wonderfully they turned out. TinyPrints has earned a customer for life."
"This is a wonderful card for a boy's baby announcement! I love the bold name on the card, along with the contemporary font. I chose the shimmer stock paper and am so glad...it gives it such a lux look and the paper feels substantial. I changed "Merry Christmas" to read "Welcomed With Love" since we had already sent Christmas cards out. Great quality card for such a special occasion!"

Awesome purple boots!
"It took me forever to get up the gumption to buy these bootsand they are PERFECT! They fit great. The uppers are real leather and sooooo soft. The purple suede makes me feel like I'm dancing to a Prince song everywhere I go. An ideal pop of color for autumn. Hooray!"

The perfect boot for long skirts or leggings!
"Between the unique grape color, the sleek fit, the narrow shaft for those of us with slim calves and ankles, this is my new favorite stylish boot. The heel height is just right--can wear these all day--and while I haven't worn them in wet weather yet, I'm looking forward to seeing if these are indeed waterproof. Lots of compliments."

Bought a second pair
"I purchased versatile Bootie in dark brown. I wear a 71/2 in open sandals and an 8M in boots normally. After reading reviews I ordered a 7 1/2 and fit is perfect with medium weight socks. This brown goes with everything and the waterproof suede is ideal for rainy months. I wear these boots almost everyday so I bought a second pair. The 3" heel height is fine for those whose day long tasks vary from sitting, standing and short walks."

Headlines (Campus Updates)
Laurier to test Emergency Notification System Thursday, Nov. 7 at 9 a.m.
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Nov 1/13
Wilfrid Laurier University will conduct a brief test of its Emergency Notification System (ENS) on Thursday, Nov. 7 at 9 a.m.
This is just a test of the system. No action is required.
During the test, a brief message will be sent via the following:
- All university computers that have the ENS client installed. The message will lock computer screens for approximately two minutes, after which the screens will return to normal.
- A text message to all mobile phones whose numbers have been registered with Lauriers ENS system.
- An email to all faculty and staff.
- Most of the university-operated television monitors in various public locations across the university.
If you experience a problem, please contact the Employee Service Desk at ext. 4357.
Please note that the test will affect all computers in classroom consoles during classes. The test will freeze the computers for approximately two minutes. The computers will then return to normal once the ENS software is released. ITS does not anticipate any issues with classroom computers. Response to any classroom issues as a result of the ENS test will be the highest priority for the ITS team.
Register your mobile phone
The Emergency Notification System expands the universitys ability to alert the Laurier community in the event of a significant on-campus safety threat.
One of the key features is a text-messaging service that allows individuals to receive an emergency text on their mobile phone in the event of a significant danger on a Laurier campus, such as a gunman or an equally urgent and dangerous situation.
To register your cellphone or mobile number, you must have a valid LORIS ID and PIN. Log in to LORIS at http://telaris.wlu.ca and follow the instructions that appear. You will only receive a text message in the event of a significant on-campus emergency and for periodic tests.
For more information about the ENS, please visit www.wlu.ca/ens. If you have questions about the system, please email them to email@example.com.

I recently stumbled upon some curious little husk cherries. Super-sweet, with flavors of pineapple, vanilla, citrus, and yellow cake, they could've gone straight into a pie without any additional sugar. But because I've yet to master gluten-free pastry, I decided to eat them for lunch instead of dessert. Learn more about husk cherries, and find my recipe for Husk Cherry Waldorf Salad at Maine Food & Lifestyle.

You're so amazing, Mary! I always learn something new from you. Those husk cherries look so delicious (I love pineapple and vanilla flavors), I hope I can find them at my local farmer market! :)ReplyDelete
I've never heard of nor seen these before, but my, do they sound heavenly! I sure hope they pop up in local markets near me soon, since you've got me dying to try them now.ReplyDelete

Homeless Man Hired after Handing out Resume on the Street
Homeless just a few weeks ago, and now a full-time employee.
Wes Gledhill never gave up in his efforts to provide for his young family. A couple weeks ago, he and his family were homeless.
He spent his days standing at the bottom of an I-15 off-ramp in Midvale, Utah with a cardboard sign. But when he ran up to a car window, he was not getting a handout, he was handing out his resume. He did this in the bitter cold for hours each day.
Now Gledhill spends his days at work in the warehouse of eReplacementParts.com.
"It's very fulfilling," he said. "I love having that alarm clock go off at 7 o'clock in the morning; that feeling of, just go to work!"
Gledhill's resume indicated that he had worked at shipping- and receiving-type jobs in the past. That caught the eye of his new employers, who are adding staff for the spring. More than that, though, they were really impressed with Wes's unorthodox approach of standing at the off-ramp.
"That really showed a lot of character to me and I thought, that's the kind of person I want working for me," says Michael Bruderer of eReplacementParts.com.
