Posted on 10/22/2013 2:58:01 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
President Obama is a gifted politician and knows how to win an election. But his spin on Healthcare.gov may only make things worse
An IT problem has never escalated faster than the president's Rose Garden speech Monday addressing the problems with Healthcare.gov. He could no longer outsource responding to user complaints. At first, the White House had said the headaches signing people up for health care coverage were just technical glitches, but now the sheer number of those glitches defies that explanation. Reporting about deeper systemic problems suggest that fixes will not come quickly. As my colleague Matthew Yglesias explains, adding more bodies to the problem adds more complexity, which may exacerbate the problem. It's hard to untangle Christmas lights by committee.
Barack Obama doesnt like to play the action-hero president where the application of his overwhelming will is supposed to directly correlate with a snappy solution. There are too many constraints on the presidencyCongress, a fickle public, world leaders, a $17 trillion economy, and the vagaries of time and space. But with the botched Obamacare rollout,the president was applying all the rhetorical torque he could muster. "Nobody's madder than me about the fact that the website isn't working as well as it should," Obama said on Monday, "which means it's going to get fixed."
Rhetoric and will isn't going to solve this problem. That helped the president triumph over the government shutdown and debt limit crisis, when through determination and superior political positioning he out maneuvered his Republican opponents. Now he has a different kind of challengean operational challengwhere his talent for politics and persuasion are less useful and may even make matters worse. Putting a good spin on things only sets expectations that can then be dashed by reality.
Its a challenge of the president's own making.........
(Excerpt) Read more at slate.com ...
It's beginning to sound like the Space Shuttle Challenger. Warned of problems, management went ahead and launched.
The difference between government monopoly and private industry in a nutshell; with the government running everything there is no accountability, no contrition, no correction, no alternatives. The cronies "control" everything and public be damned.
In this particular case, I'll be rooting for the gremlins and that the whole thing goes down in flames.
Like bad drivers love Volvos for self-preservation, bad employees love government jobs.
Ooooh, that's some powerful language and I'm sure the techies are shaking in their flip-flops............
He had to read off the teleprompter that he was the one who was the most upset.
Maybe he can fix obamacare by putting it on the teleprompter that it is all fixed and will let you keep the insurance you have as well as your doctor,and lower your premium 2500 dollars.
Oh you say,those features of obamacare have nothing to do with the computer failures,good I was worried there for a moment
That helped the president triumph over the government shutdown and debt limit crisis, when through determination and superior political positioning he out maneuvered his Republican opponents.
It wasn't just me that said Cruz was putting up that fight in the beginning to use as political fodder when this thing crashes. It was pretty easy to see this coming.
Oh, and the crash of Obamacare is just beginning. This is going to be a VERY interestin six months. Kinda like the first six months of this year were - only more so.
I feel a little like an anti-Hitler German in Berlin in early 1945. I relish at my fearless leader's collapse, but then I see the Russian troops coming and, well, I guess you have to see the silver lining and long term.
Its beginning to sound like the Space Shuttle Challenger. Warned of problems, management went ahead and launched.
I've witnessed such disasters in my career and this one looks to be the biggest and most impactive in the history of electronic computing.
It's kinda fun to watch, in a sort of schadenfreude way. :-)
"In this particular case, I'll be rooting for the gremlins and that the whole thing goes down in flames."
As long as Ted Cruz & the House Republicans are prepared to defend a free-market solution to the Obamacare mess we'll be OK. I worry about the gravitational pull of government single-payer, because that is where the next move will be.
Tossing this in here:
Did the last minute "patch" requiring people to sign up first before seeing any product (and being blamed as one reason this govt site isn't working) happen so Obamacare salesmen could play with a marked deck and move applicants around in order to showcase "young and healthy" were filling up slots - "salt the mine" so to speak and encourage more to sign up?
If so, it didn't work.
Judging from those human props (and their WH press released stories) flown in to stand behind Obama for the Rose Garden sales pitch, the Obamacare salesmen can't advertise it as "sold."
Obama had pitched this as, "will be as easy as buying a plane ticket online."
The theme of this article is that talk is not what is going to fix this - and talk is all this empty suit has. This is what I've been expecting since 2009 - an event so public and so failed that all but the most koolaid drenched will see him for what he is - a talker. A promiser. A speaker.
But not a leader.
I just didn't expect it to take so long.
I refer now to "Rush's Theorem": he endlessly golfs and vacays b/c he can't appear to be governing. B/c he would have to take responsibility when things go wrong
Precisely what's happened here----he's tied like a squealing pig to Obamacare---w/ all it's flops and failures.
So he's forced to address his subjects to reassure them he's as great as he told them he is.
AS FREEPER SICKOFLIBS INSIGHTFULLY POSTED: If we oppose Obamas Brave New World of socialist initiatives then we are responsible when things go wrong, not Obama. Benevolent Obama is all-knowing, all-wise. Between golf games and vacays, he can do no wrong.
It may or may not be powerful, but it's certainly not even proper English.
One might say: "I am mad. Nobody is madder than I am." You can even shorten that to: "Nobody is madder than I."
You would never say: "Me is mad. Nobody is madder than me is."
You would think this Harvard educated genius could speak proper English. Oh, wait, maybe he wasn't a US citizen when he was educated in his proper native language.
I've been on IT projects managed by little napoleon managers that went south.
Thing is, if you are a jerk manager, getting your people to fix the problem is a bit like getting your dog to stop chasing the squirrel. The only way you can actually control him is with one of those remote control shock collars.
I've seen IT guys come in and work diligently, day after day, on a problem like this, and get nowhere. ;-)
Precisely what's happened here——he's tied like a squealing pig to Obamacare-—w/ all it's flops and failures.
This is really becoming excellent entertainment watching a leader scream at his army of ten to beat an army of 10,000 and honestly appear to believe that it will work.
Like one woman birthing a baby in nine months or nine women birthing a baby in one month, huh?!
"Carney hasn't told you yet---but I was recently diagnosed w/ 'transient global amnesia.'"
"But only on the subjects of Obamacare, Benghazi, Syria, and my golf score."
"I'm having an episode right now----relapsing back to
my days as a tuba player in my high school marching band.'
The Dems have begun panning Obamacare (its roll out, for now) because they must stall for time and divert public attention from their lock-step support of this socialist program - from their progressive agenda. They know Obama is lame-duck but they want to take the House in 2014 and control all 3 branches of Federal government for Obama's remaining 2 years in order to remove all freedom, and install one-party government.
Three points:
ALL the Democats voted to give us Obamacare and ALL the Republicans voted against it.
Because of CRUZ and CO.'s push to forestall it's implementation and alert the American people that Obamacare is killing the U.S. economy and destroying America's healthcare system AKA "shutting down govt," the Dems are on record as supporting this turkey (ads, ads, ads). Democrats up for re-election can run but they can't hide.
We need to start calling Obamacare what it is, "The Spawn of Hillarycare!"
The liberals are already blaming the GOP and the shutdown, even though one of the few things Obama did not shutdown was the Obamacare roll-out.
I understand that the basic problem with the website is that they designed it to support 6 states and it's supporting 36. They thought the states would establish their own exchanges and they thought wrong.
The president has shown what a good liar he is - that he has no qualms about lying to the American people.
Prolly needed massive doses of valium and vodka before heaving himself into the Rose Garden to tell us how great he is.
"Ive seen IT guys come in and work diligently, day after day, on a problem like this, and get nowhere. ;-)"
Ah yes..."malicious compliance:" when the boss tells you to do something that you know it's wrong and dangerously stupid, but you do it anyway because the boss is a pr!ck and deserves the crap storm that's going to fall on him because you did what you were told to do.
It's my favorite form of subversion!
I'd be willing to bet that there was more than a little malicious compliance at work here given the sheer stupidity of the demands the government was placing on these contractors. That part is amusing. What's downright terrifying is that this regime tried to keep the prices on the exchanges secret until after one registered, so that they would have all your personal information should you ever deign to bitch about the cost of everything there!
Intimidation, anyone?
I have not visited that vile website and never will.
Mmmmmmmmm.....political theatre at its best.....Va's Cuccinelli has already grabbed onto this as a political issue.
For the Democrats, Obamacare is spiraling out of comtrol like a cancerous growth----more like an extremely virulent flesh-eating disease......spreading fast amongst the Dem political classes.
Good point. That may be one reason Marxism always always always ends up using force rather than marketing to impose their will. They really don't get the power of a good product.
"Impose their will" should be "impose ITS will"

99.999% are POLITICIANS!
Grab them by the short hairs and read them the riot act.
They'll follow the money because they are POLITICIANS!
There is only so much campaign money to go around - turn the ones who vote for their own survival (they can be removed later once a good conservative is found to replace them) and primary the ones who are in leadership and think they are untouchable.
They have to fear us more than they fear push polls.
I loved the first attempt to blame the mess on the Republicans: The people working on it were afraid the Republicans would subpoena their IT personnel.
They must have poll-tested that one and gotten nothing but maniacal laughter.
It is always about him.
I'm sooooooo mad, I'm going to hold my breath until it's fixed...
She's mad too, now you're all in BIG trouble.
David Horowitz:
"...........Ever since abandoning the utopian illusions of the progressive cause, I have been struck by how little the world outside the left seems to actually understand it. How little those who have not been inside the progressive mind are able to grasp the cynicism behind its idealistic mask or the malice that drives its hypocritical passion for social justice.
No matter how great the crimes progressives commit, no matter how terrible the futures they labor to create, no matter how devastating the human catastrophes they leave behind, the world outside the faith seems ready to forgive their mistakes and to grant them the grace of good intentions. .......
............But they are lying. When they defend racial preferences now, for example, a principle they denounced as racist and fought against as civil rights activists then, even they must know it.
The first truth about leftist missionaries, about believing progressives, is that they are liars. But they are not liars in the ordinary way, which is to say by choice. They are liars by necessity, and often, therefore, without realizing that they are. The necessity for lying arises because it is the political lie that gives their cause its life.
Why, if you were one of them, for example, would you tell the truth? If you were serious about your role as part of humanitys vanguard, if you had the knowledge (which others did not), that would lead them to a better world, why would you tell them a truth they could not understand and that would only servie to hold them back?
If you believed that others could understand your truth, you would not think of yourself as part of a vanguard. You would no longer inhabit the morally charmed world of an elite whose members alone can see the light and whose mission is to lead the unenlightened towards it. If everybody could see the same horizon and knew the path to reach it, the future would already have happened and there would be no need for the army of the saints.
That is both the ethical core and psychological heart of what it means to be a part of the left. That is where the gratification comes from. To see yourself as a redeemer. To feel anointed. To be among the elect. In other words: To be progressive is itself the most satisfying narcissism of all.
That is why it is of little concern to them that their socialist schemes have run aground, burying millions of human beings in the process. That is why they dont care that their panaceas have caused more human suffering than any injustice they have ever challenged. That is why they never learn from their mistakes, why the continuance of Them is more important than any truth............"
..and he knew it wasn't going to work
Exactly. You saved me the trouble of posting that.
President Petulant. Why should he give a damn - he's not subject to this abomination that he foist upon the American people. And I don't beieve it's capable of being fixed, not in the short term anyway. Further, it must not be fixed, it must not be patched, it must not be amended, it must be abolished!!!!
In the 90's one of my good customers awarded a large project to a competitor and 18 months and multiple of millions later, they asked us to look at the project.
Two of our best people examined the project plan, the time line , coding etc and decided that we couldn't fix it and that it couldn't be salvaged.
I by passed the IT Vice President and went to the CEO and told him we were going to pass and that this project was doomed to failure {I was a real star with the IT group/S}and our recommendation was to scrap it and start over.
They plodded on for another 8 months and then fired the VP in IT , scrapped the project and went back out for a new bid.
Great article, and so true. Thanks!
Marking thanks.
Cuccinelli needs to use it ---to keep up the rant against O/care---b/c smug Hillary came to Va to campaign for McAwful (and so did Billy Boy).
The two demons presence there means the Dem vote fraud meat grinder is being readied for Cuccinelli.
Yep. "Nobody's madder than me" is not only bad grammar, it is the Limbaugh Theorem expressed in four words.
Great point.
Mythical Man Month. I think that is where your example came from.
There was a dilbert cartoon where the manager told dilbert that a project was going to take, like, 180 days, so he was going to hire 180 contractors and get it done in a day.
Wow. A flying train-dive bomber. Very impressive. Is that from World War II?
right after the roll out OCT 1st 2013
I have not visited that vile website and never will.
I was on a liberal site yesteday, and a LIBERAL told of his friend using his computer to try to sign up. Here are the comments he made:
This is rather strange. I have a friend in my home right now that connected with healthcare.gov and got through when I had him go through the state exchange. After confirming with his email, and when he reconnected with healthcare.gov, he was asked whether he had purchased veterinarian insurance in the last two years. I have owned the cat that he was asked this question about for over four years. (He moved to a condominium complex where he could not have the cat and I took ownership of the animal at that time.) I have never purchased insurance for the animal as I take care of its needs, excluding rabies shots which I must go to a vet for by law, at home using supplies from the farm goods store.
This event raises alarms in my mind because animal insurance has nothing at all to do with human insurance. What is the actual purpose of the site? Is it to collect more information on Americans and United States residents for spycraft?
The site gives you the option of not entering your SS#, and he opted not to. His name is not uncommon, though also not common. The site picked his location from my IP address (common) and then picked out who he was from my IP. There are only three others in SLC with the same name as he. This means that they concluded who he was through association with me and the use of my IP address.
I tell people all the time that they need beware of data mining. The US gov is among the least proficient data miners.
The healthcare.gov also automatically sent his information to the state Department of Workforce Services for enrollment in Medicare, while not giving him a price for insurance.
It really is amazing how bad this is. Now, people are losing their coverage, and may actually want help from the govt, and Obama screwed it up. I HOPE people figure out who is to blame.
The problems
1) Sole source (no-bid) contract
2) A Canadian contractor with a track record of failures
3) A program (Obamamcare) with undefined and changing requirements, causing numerous change orders adding more costs to the program.
Government solution: throw more money at it
What could go wrong?

Dog Bylaw Amended - Feb. 2016
The Regional Board has adopted the first amendments to the Responsible Dog Ownership Bylaw since it was introduced in Feb. 2014. Among the changes: the number of dogs allowed per dwelling is increased from two to three; opportunities for owners of nuisance and aggressive dogs to have those designations removed after a period of time without further incidents; increased fines for dogs at large or failing to leash in public places and parks not designated as off-leash and increased license fees for dogs deemed nuisance, aggressive and dangerous.
View News Release - Staff Report on Bylaw Changes - Consolidated Responsible Dog Ownership Bylaw No. 1343
Central Okanagan Dog Control Services work with, supports and encourages responsible dog owners across the entire Regional District.
We recognize that most dog owners are responsible in the care and control of their pet and in doing so, act as a good neighbour in handling their dog on and off their property. They licence their pet, leash it in public keeping it under their care and control at all times and pick up and dispose of waste.
View our guide to Responsible Dog Ownership in the Regional District
Information about:
Consolidated Responsible Dog Ownership Bylaw No. 1343
$300 Fine for Unlicensed Dogs - Zero Tolerance
'My Dog Matters' Responsible Dog Owner Rewards Program
The Central Okanagan Dog Control Service will enforce the Consolidated Responsible Dog Ownership Bylaw No. 1343 in order to hold dog owners accountable for their responsibilities. We maintain and operate the Regional Dog Pound for lost or found dogs.
Dog owners must be active partners in working to prevent problems from occuring and in holding other dog owners accountable for good dog behaviour. When owners properly care for their dogs, train their dogs and develop a good understanding of their responsibilities, the number and severity of dog-related problems decreases along with the need for enforcement.
The Principles of Responsible Dog Ownership
A current and valid dog licence tag must be worn on a dog's collar or harness. The licence is your dog's ticket home, should it unfortunately get away. This ticket home allows Dog Control Services to reunite lost pets with their owners and families. Think of it as reunification insurance! The Regional District enforces a Zero Tolerance policy on all unlicensed dogs. The fine is $300 plus the cost of purchasing a dog licence and any applicable impound fees.
'Fixing' your dog so that it can't breed not only prevents overpopulation, but it makes for a happier and often better behaved dog. There are also potential health benefits that your veterinarian can explain to you.
A basic obedience training program for your dog at an early age, is often the first step to having a well socialized and behaved dog. Responsible dog owners ensure their dog doesn't bite, bark at, threaten or chase other animals, people, bicycles or vehicles.
Dogs must be leashed in public, unless in a designated off-leash area or park. Dogs must be securely contained on your property. This helps to reduce the potential for conflicts. Responsible dog owners pick up all waste produced by their dog. They also ensure barking, which is instinctive for dogs, does not become a nuisance for others, especially neighbours.
All dogs in the Central Okanagan must be licensed each calendar year, and must wear their dog tags for identification.
The Dog Pound is located at 890 Weddell Place, Kelowna (between Richter Street and Gordon Drive) Link to Map. 250-469-6284. email email@example.com Click here for link to Dog Pound page.
The SPCA Animal Shelter is located at 3785 Casorso Road (near Benvoulin Road in Kelowna) and you can phone 250-861-7722. The Regional District Dog Service provides acceptable unclaimed dogs for adoption to the BC SPCA as space is available in SPCA Shelters. In 2015, 66 dogs were transferred to the SPCA for adoption!

Announcement ID:
Governments-in-Exile and the Jews during the Second World War
The Parkes Institute for the Study of Jewish/non-Jewish Relations at the University of Southampton is organizing a research project which will explore the responses of the anti-Hitler Allies to the Jewish plight during the Second World War. An international two-day symposium to be held at the University of Southampton on 21 and 22 March 2010 and focusing on the various governments-in-exile established in Britain during the war will form an integral part of this project. This symposium aims to bring together scholars engaged in academic research on the bystanders to the Holocaust through a specific and so far neglected area of Holocaust research. The project – based on a comparative analysis of individual cases – intends to explore whether a theory of common taxonomy can be applied across the exiled Governments' treatment of Jewish issues. Were there any common features of the responses of the governments-in-exile to the Jewish plight? Did the governments cooperate? Are there any similarities in the theoretical analysis of their conduct?
While the subject of the bystanders to the Holocaust has constituted an important part of Holocaust research in the last decades, historians have focused mainly on the two major Western Allied powers, the United States and United Kingdom. There has not been any comprehensive investigation of how the other members of the anti-Hitler alliance helped to shape attitudes and responses to the Nazi persecution and extermination of the European Jewry. The governments of Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France (Free France), Greece, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, and Yugoslavia will form be the main focus of the conference.
The official national representatives in exile were theoretically in a position to impact on the attitudes of their populations at home towards the Jews. As it seems, their main responses to the Holocaust was fostering the exchange of information among the populations in the occupied countries, the exiles, and the major Allied governments. Project and symposium will examine the policies of the governments-in-exile, the actions they actually took (including attempts, if there were any, to impact on initiatives by the Western Allies for the rescue of Jews), and the factors that shaped their policies and actions. The latter includes the role played by the main national underground organizations that informed the governments-in-exile about the sentiments among the populations at home towards the persecuted Jews. Across Nazi occupied Europe the harsh German occupation regime triggered a resurgence in nationalism but this tended to exclude groups which were seen as foreign, and this often meant the Jews as well. Hence the governments-in-exile were caught in a network of complex influences, and this dynamic needs to be investigated.
The Parkes Institute for the Study of Jewish/non-Jewish Relations at the University of Southampton welcomes contributions from senior scholars as well as researchers at the beginning of their academic careers. We intend to publish the conference proceedings in order to stimulate further discussion of the issues raised at the symposium. Holocaust Studies, published by Vallentine Mitchell, has already expressed an interest subsequent to the standard review process. It is expected that symposium and subsequent publication of the proceedings will lead to the establishment of an international network of scholars working on related areas of research that will facilitate further projects in the field.

Fog leads to cancellation of Milwaukee lakefront air show Saturday
At 3 p.m. Saturday, the scheduled start of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels performance at Milwaukee's lakefront, the only booming noise one could hear was from the harbor's fog horn.
Fog has led to the cancellation shortly after 3 p.m. of Saturday's air show, which had been scheduled to start at 10 a.m. The air show's Twitter account announced that those with tickets to Saturday's show should get a hand stamp, and those stamps will be honored on Sunday. »Read Full Article(5)
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds blend sin, redemption in Milwaukee show
There are really, when we are honest with ourselves, only two kinds of music: the kind (blues, country & western, rock 'n' roll) with which we celebrate our Saturday nights; and the kind (church music) by which we repent, on Sunday mornings, of our Saturday nights.
Friday night at the Milwaukee Theatre, the formidable power of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds emanated from how they encompassed the night and the next morning, the Saturday and the Sunday, the holy and the unholy, within their performance. »Read Full Article(1)

FingersThe most popular method for finding the G-spot involves using two fingers and inserting them into the vagina, palm facing up. When you're about two inches in, make a come hither motion; you should be hitting something that feels like a little ball.
To add a little something to the mix, use your free hand to gently rub and caress the area between her navel and pubic hair while performing your fingerlicious task.
PenisAlthough just about every guy's penis leans in one direction or another, it's the guys whose penises curve upwards that are most likely to hit the G territory (guilty as charged).
For the rest of you, you have two options. First, if your penis curves to the left, right or to the south, you can position yourself in such a way that your penis hits the spot (remember, you want to ensure that the curve is pointing northwards). For example, if your penis curves to the side, you can form a T with your woman — you lie horizontally, she lies vertically and you do your rhythmic thing.
If your penis curves downwards, place her on top of you but facing the other way (you get to stare at her heart-shaped butt, that alone is awesome), but you do all the maneuvering.
Second, you can let her find the position that hits the spot. Considering she likely knows what gets her off more than you do, giving her the power of your penis is a great option. Let her have her way and believe me, you'll both be ecstatic.
Where's that map?Now that you know how to locate the mystery area that brings women to mythic heights of delight, I suggest that you do your best to reach the spot as naturally as possible. So don't ask things like "Is this it? What about this? Now? How about now?" When you hit it, you'll know.
As well, don't turn it into a mission; that will only lead to apprehension and frustration. Orgasm is great, but it shouldn't be your only goal. Have fun and don't get too serious. If you make her feel as though she has to orgasm every time, she'll either become nervous about sex, or worse, she'll start faking it. And that's not good for anyone.
So until next time, try hitting G, it's gggrrreat!

Bryant Jennings Ready To Replace Banks, Face Mitchell
Philadelphia, PA—Undefeated heavyweight contender Bryant Jennings, with his sights set on a world heavyweight championship fight, now is willing to step in for the injured Jonathon Banks and take on once-beaten Seth Mitchell on Feb. 16 in Atlantic City, NJ
Jennings, who beat then-undefeated lefty Maurice Byarm on six days' notice one year ago, stays in shape and will gladly fight Mitchell on the HBO-televised card, according to his promoter, J Russell Peltz.
"If we cannot get (Wladimir) Klitschko, we'll keep calling out all the other heavyweights until one of them decides to fight Bryant," Peltz said. "Today's fighters have to get in shape. The old-timers stayed in shape and Jennings trains like the old-timers—he's always ready.
"I spoke with Eric Gomez (Golden Boy matchmaker) today and told him Jennings was ready, willing and able."
Jennings, 28, of Philadelphia, is ranked No. 3 by the IBF and No. 22 by the WBC. He turned pro in 2010 and is 16-0, 8 K0s, and he holds the USBA heavyweight title.
An unknown at this time last year, Jennings broke into the heavyweight picture by winning five fights in 2013. In addition to beating Byarm, he also K0d ex-WBO champion Sergei Liakhovich and he won the vacant USBSA title by pitching a shutout against iron-chinned Steve Collins, of Houston, TX.
In his last fight Dec. 8 in Philadelphia, Jennings defended the USBA crown by knocking out Bowie Tupou, of Tonga, in five rounds.
All of those 2013 fights were televised as part of the NBC Sports Network Fight Night series.
"Let them (Golden Boy) put the money on the table they gave to Chazz Witherspoon or to Jonathon Banks and we'll be happy to accommodate them," said Fred Jenkins, who manages and trains Jennings. "We're right here in Philadelphia and we'll bring plenty of fans to the fight."

Howdy all... need a little help here in removing the heater hoses from the rear firewall. I need to replace the heater core.
1995 Chevy Lumina APV 3.1 engine
Hoses on the firewall have the broad type spring clamps (not the wire ones). The clamps are facing downward and tangled with each other.
I can't get at them from the front of the vehicle, clamp pliers won't work, I have a cable type clamp remover, but again the clearance and position of clamp arms makes this ineffective. Tried a 12" long nose pliers but can't get at them that way either.
Jacked the car up... can't access them from underneath.
What am I missing here.... is there another type of removal tool required for this type of situation??? Is there access from inside the car ???
This is a damn stupid way of installing heater hoses....
Your suggestions are appreciated !!
Thanks in advance !!

Welcome to Auto Mechanics 101
Yep, you need to get in there with something like a small set of needle nose vice grips. Get a grip on a tab and turn the clamp. If you look at the clamp you will find that you can twist the tabs IN and spring them enough to twist them. Then remove them.
Or buy one of the remote jaw styles of clamp plier.
Not unless you cut out the firewall!
Not when those hoses are installed. The engines are not in the way, of course the entire front end is also missing but why quibble about that!
It's how they assemble most of the autos out there.
Ach....tried to turn the tab inward, hoping to get enough clearance to slide the hose off. The clamp loosened barely enough to cause it to travel where it's very difficult to reach. Good idea.. but just lacks a lot of clearance and space to move.
Thanks for suggesting it... It'll come in handy for future jobs.
Okay... so..... I'm out of options on how to do this with finesse.....
Thinking of cutting the heater hose off right at the pipe and seeing if I can get access without the hose in the way.... plan #2 is to slice the hose and see if I can wiggle it out from under the clamp.
Heater core is leaking and will be replaced so no need to worry about damaging the tubes. Heater hoses will be replaced so it doesn't matter if I cut those.
Any other suggestions are appreciated.... how would you get past something like this ???
Just for laughs, chuckles and grins, I loosened the bottom hose at the engine bypass pipe.... ran the engine... no leakage. That plastic quick disconnect coupling is frozen on there solid. (car is 15 years old, 112K miles)...... wow do parts fuse together after that many years.
Thanks again for your help !!

Just a general idea, but I'd cut the hoses off as close to the fitting as I can, and then generally I can get at the poorly installed clamps. I have once or twice had to use a dremel and cut the clamps.

Detective charged with lying to FBI seeks disability retirement
A Milwaukee police detective charged with lying to an FBI agent has applied for duty disability retirement, saying the stress of being investigated, arrested and strip-searched has left him unable to be a police officer, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has learned.
Willie Huerta has been on paid suspension since May, as the department conducts an internal investigation into allegations the longtime detective intervened to protect a drug dealer when he was stopped by Milwaukee officers.
Huerta, 40, filed an application for duty disability in July, contending he is totally disabled because of psychological and physical injuries resulting from the investigation, according to his application filed with the Employees' Retirement System.
"As a result of the duty-incurred injuries as described above, I can no longer perform the essential duties or functions of a city of Milwaukee police officer, detective or any position in a limited-duty capacity," the application statement said.
If his application is approved, Huerta could be paid by the city for the rest of his life. In most cases, duty disability provides such retirees with 75% of their salaries, tax-free. His 2012 salary, including overtime, was more than $85,000.
Huerta was first charged in May with obstruction of justice, on allegations of helping the suspected drug dealer get out of a traffic stop. That charge was dropped two weeks later without explanation by the prosecutor.
Last month, Huerta was indicted on a count of lying to the FBI during questioning related to the same case.
Martin Kohler, whose firm is representing Huerta, declined to comment. Huerta did not return calls.
Huerta is one of at least five officers who have applied for or received duty disability during or after a disciplinary investigation since 2006, the Journal Sentinel found.
After the investigation by the Journal Sentinel, the board of the city's Employees' Retirement System approved a series of changes intended to make it harder for officers charged or under investigation to be approved for duty disability.
And an opinion from the city attorney's office said officers already receiving the benefit may lose it if their applications include potentially misleading information believed to be ghostwritten by "a retired police detective" — a reference to former union boss and felon Bradley DeBraska, who is known to have assisted at least 18 officers with their applications.
Large portions of Huerta's application are identical to other applications written by DeBraska. Huerta ends his statement by writing that because of his "psychological trauma and my mental state, I required a retired detective" to help with the statement.
Huerta's application remains under review, according to Jerry Allen, executive director of the Employees' Retirement System.
"This application is being evaluated by the city attorney, in light of the city attorney's opinion," Allen said.
Applications filed
Huerta is on full suspension — with no police powers, department gun or badge — as an internal investigation continues, said Lt. Mark Stanmeyer, Milwaukee police spokesman. Huerta continues to be paid, as required under state law. His most recent assignment was in the department's sensitive crimes unit.
Even if Huerta is fired or convicted, he still may be able to get duty disability pay, because his application was filed while he was still an employee and before the retirement system instituted the rule changes.
As an example, former Officer Dwight Copeland didn't show up for work for the equivalent of half of his 14 years on the force and was disciplined two dozen times for misconduct. Copeland was fired for lying about an application claiming he was disabled because of a shoulder injury and stress. His duty disability retirement was able to be approved last year because he filed it before he was fired.
The rule changes also may not stop other officers who applied for duty disability while they were being investigated. Rodolfo Gomez Jr., who was fired from the department for hitting a handcuffed prisoner and faces a felony charge over the incident, also has applied for duty disability. Gomez has pleaded not guilty and is set to go to trial in May.
In a letter, Police Chief Edward Flynn wrote that he thinks Gomez submitted a fraudulent application for duty disability retirement and is not entitled to the benefit.
Gomez's application also is under review by the city attorney, Allen said.
Traffic stop in 2011
Huerta was hired by the Police Department in 1996 and worked in undercover drug operations. In 2006, he became a detective and later worked on a joint drug task force with federal agents.
According to a federal criminal complaint, Huerta protected Julio Cruz by intervening in a traffic stop of a tow truck in January 2011. The stop ended with Cruz — allegedly a confidential informant for Huerta — and the driver of the truck being released without the truck being searched, even though it smelled like marijuana, the complaint says.
Records attached to the complaint show several calls were made between Cruz's phone and Huerta's phone at the time of the traffic stop.
In the complaint, another detective told FBI agents that informants are often stopped, and he would not ask for such a stop to be halted because "additional charges on an informant would just make the individual more motivated to work and be a better informant."
In his duty disability statement, Huerta wrote that he received a call from Cruz's cousin during the traffic stop of the tow truck. Huerta said he called the uniformed police officer doing the stop "to advise the officer that the HIDTA (federal drug task force) unit was investigating the driver of the tow truck for serious crimes."
Huerta's disability statement did not indicate whether he told the uniformed officer what to do about the situation. He said he later learned that two undercover officers arrived at the traffic stop, and they were the ones who asked the uniformed officer to let the men in the tow truck go.
An informant later told FBI agents that Huerta was protecting Cruz, helping him get out of traffic stops and providing inside information.
Huerta said in his statement that the man gave unreliable information to the FBI.
Cruz has pleaded guilty to drug counts in federal court. He is scheduled to be sentenced next month.
A visit from the FBI
On May 1 of last year, Huerta said he was putting his trash outside his house when he heard the sound of tires racing. A half-dozen FBI agents and Milwaukee police officers rushed up to him. They searched his house and took his department gun, badge and keys, his disability statement says.
Huerta was questioned at FBI offices for 21/2 hours and he said he chose to answer questions, without calling a lawyer.
According to the indictment, it was during this interview that Huerta told an FBI agent that "J.C. Jr." had never been his informant while he worked at the Milwaukee Police Department and he had never paid "J.C. Jr." for information.
"The statement and representation were false because, as Huerta then and there knew, he paid J.C. Jr. $300 in official funds on or about Sept. 16, 2010, for information provided by J.C. Jr. during an official investigation," the indictment says.
Lying to a federal agent can bring a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
