Asked by:
I tried to answer to another thread with a similar title and it has been locked..I wonder why? Of course not is obvious,Microsoft is peeved off.
The post started with this :
Has ANYBODY found an effective and easy-to-understand way to disable (decapitate, exterminate, disembowel) windows 7 'TrustedInstaller'?? This has to be, by FAR, one of the WORST devices MS has ever come up with. I wouldn't even be aware of it's existence, if it had not been for it turning my OS processing into peanut butter sludge on so many occasions. And now, it appears to be interfering with adding legitimate 3rd party procedures and add-ons. It is a gargantuan CPU SUCK, and it doesn't appear to accomplish ANYTHING that couldn't be accomplished w/ a combination of Win DEFENDER and UAC permissions. I did hear somebody comment, on another forum, that it "protects your system from making damaging changes to itself....blah, blah". Well, a howitzer will probably be effective at killing flies, too, but is that the approach you want to take? What bothers me is that the PINHEAD who came up with this one, is probably kicking it in a plush MS office right now, and WORSE YET, will probably be making FUTURE decisions on OS's. (Yeah, just when you thought the fun was over....)
This 'trusted installer' is a disease, and it is about time that Microsoft DID THE RIGHT THING by their customers and came up with an appropriate fix! But while we are waiting for Microsoft to do the right thing (I'm sure there's no hurry there....!) Is there ANY way to terminate this process?? And I mean 'terminate...with EXTREME prejudice'.
Gratitude in advance to anyone who can help
( By someone calling themselves smccfly007)
I TOTALLY AGREE with this person.
Now I want to ask,what would happen if I delete trusted installer.exe from the registry? Would I automatically gain access to the programs this thing takes control of?
I mean it is stopping me from moving Notepad to my desktop,for years I had windows vista and I have always had the notepad on my desktop....if I try to put a shortcut of Notepad on the desktop is telling me that I need permission from trusted installer.YOU GOTTA BE FREAKING KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!! This is just another feature of freaking BigBrother is Watching you!
It annoys me that some clever big wigs think adding this features is clever or of any use....another symptom of why this world is upside down.
SERIOUSLY if anyone at all can provide me with a real solution to this please come forward,I ain't a computing expert so need step by step explanation but.......I want rid of this freaking virus.
Like mr 007 which post I pasted above any help will be greatly appreciated.
By the way I am a lady.
General discussion
All replies
It is never recommended to do any changes with TrustInstaller. If you do this with registry forcedly, there would be many unexpected issue happens to the OS. Even may cause the OS crash and unrecovered.
Most of the operating system files are owned by the TrustedInstaller security identifier (SID), which is the only SID that has full control over them. The purpose is to prevent a process that is running as an administrator or under the LocalSystem account from automatically replacing the operating system files. To delete an operating system file, you need to take ownership of the file and then add an access control entry (ACE) on the file that permits you to delete it. This helps protect against a process that is running as LocalSystem and has a System integrity label; a process that has lower integrity should not be able to elevate itself to change ownership. Some services, for instance, can run with medium integrity, even though they are running as LocalSystem. Such services cannot replace system files, thereby preventing an exploit that takes over a service from replacing operating system files.
We need to find a proper solution or workaround for specific issue but not delete TrustInstaller.
Please remember to click "Mark as Answer" on the post that helps you, and to click "Unmark as Answer" if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.
So apparently you did not read the post very well. Trusted installer is stupid at best. Before windows 7 this was not a thing and computers all over the world did not end....... I do not have a tried an true way cutting out this tumor that is keeping from deleting things like background pictures how ever here are the steps to taking control over the stupid thing. It sucks I know but better slow than windows getting to do what it wants.
1. Go to the folder that contains the file or Folder whose ownership you want to change.
2. Right Click of mouse on that file or Folder and Choose "Properties".
3. Navigate to "Security" tab.
4. Click on "Advanced" on the Security tab to open the Advance security setting for the file.
5. On the Owner ; Click on "Change".
6. Click on "Advanced" on the open "Select User or Group" Window.
7. Click on "Find Now" on the open Window.
8. It will show you all the available user on the Search results.
9. Now select the user that you want to give the ownership and click on "OK".
10. Again Click on "OK" on the "Select User or Group" to change the ownership.
11. Now the Ownership for that file or folder is changed.
12. Now apply all the changes and Click on OK and close all the open Window.
13. That is it.
Again I am sorry it is only a treatment not a cure.
BTW if you are going tell us about what its purpose is WE DON'T CARE. we lived fine without it before and now it is just causing stupid problems.
I will keep looking and let you know what i come up with.
I have been looking for a solution to this since 2009 or whenever I first got se7en x64. In services it is listed as "Windows Modules Installer" where I have it set to "Manual" under the startup type. At least it doesn't run unless something calls for it. It is located in Windows\servicing\TrustedInstaller.exe at the bottom and also in Windows\servicing\en-US\TrustedInstaller.exe.mui. Also there is at least 1 copy in the Windows\winsxs folder.
I have tried disabling it in services, hiding/renaming it's executable in the folder where it resides, all of which caused different aspects of Windows to either not work or not work right. I have removed it's Prefetch file (.pf) in Windows\Prefetch\ (where I removed a lot of other programs prefetch files because everything thinks it needs to start when Windows does, native and third party programs) so at least TrustedInstaller.exe doesn't run all the time. I am logged in under the true "Administrators Account" enabled in Group Policy and renamed, and I too follow the same process you do to change ownership of some files since right-clicking and choosing "Take Ownership" does not work on all types of files or all types of operations with certain files.
good luck

btw - giving answers to a question you did not ask is the apparent S.O.P.

It is time to pack up the suitcases and head to Grandma's house. If your family is traveling by plane, train, or automobile you will want to keep everyone sane. Let's face it, parents get tired, the kids get cranky, and there is often a breaking point where someone says, "We should have just stayed home!" You don't have to be that family.
Before you pack for your family travel experience invest in a few dollar games and coloring books that are age appropriate for your kids. By keeping your kids busy during a crazy travel time, the small amount of cash you will have invested in these cheap games will be money well spent. It's always a good idea to have special snacks packed in a carry on bag. Parents never know when one child is going to go into melt down mode and that special snack may be the perfect solution.
Portable DVD players are a must for your kids. Airports can get tiring and the hours in a car, let's just say they can be extremely daunting. This is where you will want to break out the family friendly movies that you will have invested in. If you are battling a weather delay in an airport or train station, a family friendly movie is a great solution to keeping the whole family sane.
Family travel can be a fun experience when parents realize that the unexpected can occur at any given moment. After all, life with kids is all about the unexpected and the ever famous, "I can't believe he/she did that!"
Your family can be the family that stays sane during family travel. Arm yourself with inexpensive games, coloring books, and family friendly movies. The memories that you make will be priceless and ones that you will want to cherish, in a good way, forever.
One family friendly movie that we'd like to recommend for travel during the crazy holiday season is The Smurfs. You and your kids will enjoy this PG rated DVD. Happy travels to you and your family. Be prepared and you and your family can keep sane during your family travel experience.

*Spoilers if you're not caught up!*
With two weeks left, I thought I'd start a thread! What did everyone think about season 6 as a whole? Bones/Booth's (not shown) hookup? The pregnancy? What do you think is going to happen this season? With Gormagon, the Gravedigger and the sniper all gone now, we need a new villan who will be here for the long term!

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Here's a link to some spoiler videos, if anyone is curious: http://jimhalterman.com/news/how-about-a-bones-clip-how-about-one-with-look-bones-i-love-you-watch-five-clips-from-bones-here/ .
As for the new season, I think it'll be really, really good, the best one yet, as B&B are together !
how does everyone think they are going to portray her birth do you think she'll go to the hospital or maybe have a homebirth because she's so old worldly about women doing things for thousands of yrs
Thats an excellent question! My daughter and i were wondering the same thing - she DID make mention of the fact that 'squatting was a a very efficient position for giving birth in" - id bet it will be the standard ...she WANTS to do a homebirth - starts out at home, and then some rare , or ridiculous affliction will crop up and Booth will have to race her to the hospital to get some medicine / surgery/ mystical healing beads that are not available to her at home....
i mean Angelas birth was a huge dissapointment - 40 minutes of 'ouch!' and then voila! baby boy - who was immediately whisked away to the people waiting in the waiting room for introductions!
well - it will be one to watch! if she has a slow, peaceful , squatting labor - home or hospital ...i will personally write a letter of gratitude to the network!
Happy at Home Mama to DD 4/95 DS 4/98 and DS#2 8/10

I have loaded the blog module and the basic functioning was OK but I hit a snag.
The monthly archive links didn't work. The error was:
"Column 'Date' in where clause is ambiguous"
I changed the blogentries function in blogholder.php so $dateCheck used `BlogEntry_Live`.Date rather than just Date to identify the relevant posts.
Why I needed to to do this when it presumably works for everyone else, I have no idea.
The end result is here:
It still needs more work: an intro statement and the side menu when you are in an entry displays in the wrong order. That may happen today if I can find the time.


text: I have recently purchased a Leica M3 with the hope of finding a small unobtrusive camera for candid and general street photos. This one is SN 854238 one of the last double stroke versions. The camera is beautiful and a real pleasure to work with (although I am having to get used to the smaller negative size). The problem is the Summicron f2 50mm lens that came with the camera has a lot of scratching on the front element; so much so that obtaining a sharp image is compromised. I am hoping you rangefinder folks could help steer me on what strategies I should pursue. 1. Are there reasonable alternatives for finding a replacement front element for an older lens such as this? 2. What make/model lens would you folks recommend should I replace the entire lens? I am hoping to stay within a budget of $500 - $750 per lens. I really appreciate you taking the time to consider this question.

Search for Elder Law Attorneys
How Does Medicaid Treat the Purchase of a Life Estate?
We live in NJ. My dad broke his hip from a car accident, went through therapy, came home to his house, and fell down his steps and broke it again. His house had too many steps so he could no longer live there. We sold my dad's house and used the money as a downpayment on a new ranch style house for myself, my wife, and my dad. We went though an eldercare lawyer who created the deed giving my dad a life estate and my wife and myself ownership after my father's death. My name is the only name on the mortgage. My Dad lived with us for one year and four months. His dementia has really increased, and we had to put him in a nursing home. We are applying him for Medicaid. Any ideas on how Medicaid will treat the life estate?
Based on what you say, your father's purchase of a life estate in your new home should not be treated as a disqualifying transfer. He lived in the house for more than a year, which is a requirement under new laws. So the only issue should be whether he paid the appropriate amount for his life interest. The amount is determined based on your father's age and the value of the house. Given that this was structured by an elder law attorney, it should fit the requirements. But to be sure, you can go back to the elder law attorney and make certain that the transaction did meet all of the requirements.

In a shocking interview, Céline Dion has revealed to French news station Canoe that she was originally expecting triplets.
The Power of Love singer gave birth to twin boys last Saturday, but says she was initially expecting three sons after conceiving via In vitro fertilisation (IVF).
He chose to let go to give space to his brothers to grow," Céline said.
It is not yet known at what stage of the pregnancy she lost the third child.
The 42-year-old pop star and her 68-year-old husband René Angelil – who also have a 9-year-old son René-Charles together — underwent six IVF treatments before Céline got pregnant.
The couple have named the boys Eddy and Nelson, after record producer Eddy Marnay and human rights campaigner and former South African President Nelson Mandela.

Over the next one to five years, governments, corporations, foundations, advocacy groups, consulting firms, and science labs will be involved in many overlapping decision processes on adaptation and mitigation. We have two near-term opportunities for constructive engagement that build on our strengths in modeling and simulation and include cooperation with universities and other collaborators with complementary expertise.
The first is to use our newly developed Nested Regional Climate Model (NRCM) to provide very-high-resolution (4 km) predictions of climate change over the next 50 years for the United States and possibly other regions, to support consistent local, regional, and national adaptation planning. (An atmospheric resolution of about 150 km was considered high resolution until recently.) Such simulations would help a wide variety of users with assessing vulnerability and potential impacts and developing strategies to respond. The model holds great promise for investigating the relationship of climate change to hurricanes. It also offers many possibilities for exciting collaborations with the hydrological, ecological, and human health communities, especially if additional atmospheric chemistry is incorporated. Specific actions would include
- Produce very-high-resolution (4 km) regional-scale predictions of climate change and impacts with NRCM, including detailed characterizations of prediction uncertainty
- Develop new partnerships focused on analysis of climate impacts on human health, ecosystems, and water resources
- Partner regionally with scientists and involve stakeholders end to end in creating regional assessments of vulnerability and adaptation options
Our second opportunity is to further develop and apply the Integrated Population-Economy-Technology-Science (iPETS) model to evaluate alternative climate change response strategies. This effort can provide fundamental insights about the coupling of human and natural systems. It can also provide useful information for national-scale decision makers on mitigation and adaptation through integrated analysis of the atmospheric, environmental, and economic consequences of different policy, economic, and technological choices. The use of this medium- scale tool could also inform and be informed by analyses using CCSM. NCAR's computing resources would enable a large number of experimental simulations on a very rapid timescale and would facilitate exploration of couplings to CCSM. We plan to
- Add and refine components of the iPETS model, including improved representation of spatial land use change, emissions, and mitigation of non-CO2 greenhouse gases, and more detailed representation of key energy technologies
- Design and execute new simulations to evaluate different mitigation strategies and emissions pathways
- Explore new ways of linking integrated assessment models to Earth system models and incorporate impacts and adaptation into integrated assessment models

Will O.B. parking situation stop Target?
South Beach bar's agreement with Antique Center muddles situation
Julie Stalmer 5:30 p.m., Sept. 22
Imperial Beach has accused Coronado of jeopardizing the War on Terror by suing Imperial Beach over who has the right to provide sewage services to the new Navy SEAL training facility proposed for the south end of Silver Strand.
Even though the area is within Coronado city limits, for over 50 years the city of Imperial Beach has been providing such services to the federal land which, until recently, held the Naval Radio Receiving Facility (known by locals as the "Elephant Cage" and demolished in early 2015).
Now that the extensive Naval Coastal Campus is being built, Coronado wants a do-over on the whole setup.
"Legal action by Coronado could result in termination of the very important Special Warfare Campus that is vital for U.S. national security," said Ed Vea, management analyst for the city of Imperial Beach in an official announcement.
"That is because environmental studies to analyze the new sewer alignment will take many months, significantly increase the cost of the facility, and jeopardize the funding for a project deemed critical in the War on Terror," the Imperial Beach statement said.
"We are proud partners with the Navy and surprised at the action taken by our neighbors in Coronado," said Imperial Beach mayor Serge Dedina.
When asked if the lawsuit could delay construction of the SEAL campus, Mayor Casey Tanaka said, "That's possible but that's not the goal."
Tanaka denied that Coronado was impeding the War on Terror. "I don't agree that's true," he said. The purpose of the lawsuit is "to get clarity of which position is correct" in terms of the Navy's decision to continue with its agreement with Imperial Beach and "to find out if the Navy's action is legal," he said.
Because of that long-existing agreement, "the Navy believes that is a legal action to take," said Tanaka. "Otherwise it's clear in state law that you can't do that."
Tanaka said state law mandates that such infrastructure responsibilities are the domain of the city where the military base is located.
"I'm kind of shocked that they're saying this is going to delay things," said Blair King, city manager of Coronado, said of Imperial Beach's position.
"This area represents approximately 11.5 percent of Coronado's land mass," King via email. The SEAL training campus is planned to be a "1.5 million square foot facility, on a footprint of 169.4 acres, on a 548-acre site which is located entirely within the City of Coronado."
"The City of Coronado never approved the previous agreement for service to the Naval Radio Receiving Station," King added. "Coronado feels that Imperial Beach is improperly extending its services within the City of Coronado's boundaries without the approval of the voters of Coronado or its City Council."
"At the Navy's request, without the approval of the Coronado City Council, Imperial Beach plans to extend and expand its wastewater services into Coronado," King said.
Coronado is also suing the San Diego Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), a regulatory agency dealing with boundary issues, which in December 2015 determined that the agreement between the Navy and Imperial Beach is exempt from their jurisdiction and that, therefore, the agreement remains intact, according to LAFCO executive officer Michael Ott and documents related to the case.
There would be "an additional cost to the federal government of up to $31 million if Coronado's wishes were fulfilled," Ott said.
These infrastructure costs would overlap with environmental concerns because "the associated sewer infrastructure would also likely traverse through about 8-10 miles of environmentally sensitive habitat and result in the need to prepare supplemental environmental assessment in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)," according to LAFCO documents. "Estimated additional environmental assessment costs would be approximately $500,000."
LAFCO determined that if Coronado did take over the sewage work, the revised project would probably need Congressional approval to get more funding for the increased costs.
"We think it's important to follow the plain language of the law. Coronado disagrees with that," Ott said. Coronado could have appealed the decision to LAFCO without filing the lawsuit, he added.
King said that Coronado would agree with the wastewater extension if the project allows for the recovery of public infrastructure investment costs, as described in the project's original Environmental Impact Statement. Coronado also does not want to be liable for any sewer spills from the project and "we have asked that if Imperial Beach makes a profit from its Wastewater Operations that the profit from Coronado be returned to Coronado," King said.
Imperial Beach denies profiting from the deal. "The sewer departments in both cities are enterprise funds," said Andy Hall, "and all revenues must remain in those funds and cannot be used in the General Fund for general government activities."
The money from the Navy "would not benefit the general fund, except to the proportional extent the City provides service to the sewer department (i.e. payroll)," Hall added. "Therefore, the City would not benefit, but in some measure it could be beneficial to the sewer department."
King said the lawsuit could be withdrawn "as early as tomorrow" if Imperial Beach would agree to a proposal by Coronado.
"We have put forward a proposal that allows Coronado to retain local control, does not affect the project's schedule, does not affect the project's budget, and allows Imperial Beach to upgrade its infrastructure," he said.
"I don't know if any profit is involved," King clarified, but said that planned infrastructure upgrades include extensive improvements throughout Imperial Beach. "Our proposal would allow for Imperial Beach to receive the benefits of these Navy paid improvements."
There might be more involved. "Imperial Beach provides sewer service to benefit the Navy," Mayor Dedina said, "It's our contribution to support our military's defense of our national security."
"Hopefully it will be resolved very soon," King said of the lawsuit.
Since 1965, when the Navy Radio Receiving site was installed, the City of Coronado has been complacent about the City of Imperial Beach providing sewer services to the site.
I would bet that Coronado gave a sigh of relief in 65' when they found out that they did not have to provide those services to such a remote location in their City.
Now that the Navy wants to make major improvements and there is money at stake, Coronado wants a piece of the action. Typical politics.
Sounds like a bunch of crap to me.

Although Citytv had put the brakes on the popular drama "Murdoch Mysteries" recently, the CBC has decided to take on a sixth season of the show.
Starring Jonny Harris ("Republic of Doyle"), Yannick Bisson ("The Listener," "My Mother's Secret"), Thomas Craig ("Hidden"), and Helene Joy ("The L.A. Complex," "Republic of Doyle"), "Murdoch Mysteries" takes place in the late 1800s and follows investigator William Murdoch as he uses advanced forensic techniques to solve some of the city's most gruesome murder cases.The show is based on a series of mystery novels written by author Maureen Jennings. A fifth season was announced in May 2011 by Rogers Media, and by September, the network had decided to cancel the show.
However, as of late, the CBC network has announced plans to continue the sixth season of the drama on their network. They first broke the news via Twitter. "With so many stories left to tell, we look forward to finally bringing 'Murdoch Mysteries' to a national audience and growing our passionate fan base in partnership with the team at CBC," Christina Jennings, Shaftesbury chairman and CEO, later said in a statement (as reported by CBC News).
One of the show's biggest fans is Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who even made a cameo on the show during its fourth season.

With moderate to severe genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), you may experience the following vaginal and urinary signs and symptoms:
By some estimates, nearly half of postmenopausal women experience GSM, although few seek treatment. Many women resign themselves to the symptoms or are embarrassed to discuss them with their doctor.
Make an appointment to see your doctor if you experience painful intercourse that's not resolved by using a vaginal moisturizer (Replens, Vagisil Feminine Moisturizer, others) or water-based lubricant (glycerin-free versions of Astroglide, K-Y Intrigue, others). Also make an appointment if you have vaginal symptoms, such as unusual bleeding, discharge, burning or soreness.
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is caused by a decrease in estrogen production. Less estrogen makes your vaginal tissues thinner, drier, less elastic and more fragile.
A drop in estrogen levels may occur:
GSM signs and symptoms may begin to bother you during the years leading up to menopause, or it may not become a problem until several years into menopause. Although the condition is common, not all menopausal women experience GSM. Regular sexual activity, with or without a partner, can help you maintain healthy vaginal tissues.
Certain factors may contribute to genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), such as:

Swedlund speaks about N.D. scenic byways
Searle Swedlund spoke about scenic highways and byways in North Dakota, at the last Stutsman County Memorial Museum Front Porch Chat.
For the past year and a half, Swedlund has been the executive director of the Buffalo City Tourism Foundation which was recently renamed Jamestown Tourism.
Swedlund distributed copies of the Scenic Byways and Backways information guide and gave a PowerPoint presentation, so the audience could follow along as he spoke about just a few of his favorite attractions and sights throughout North Dakota. Swedlund also said the North Dakota Historical Society chose Jamestown as a host for one of three regional celebrations of the 125th year of North Dakota statehood. Special events are planned from Aug. 8-10, during Pioneer Days at Frontier Village, including a concert, picnic and a street dance.
Swedlund talked about local attractions such as Frontier Village, the Midland Continental Depot Transportation Museum in Wimbledon and Dakota Sun Gardens near Carrington. He also shared highlights of other regional attractions such as the Red Trail Vineyard in Buffalo, with its annual Grape Stomp Festival that will occur Aug. 16 this year and include all-day Polka music, tours of the vineyard and opportunities for visitors to try grape stomping. Swedlund shared points of interest at the Ronald Reagan Minuteman Missile Site in Cooperstown and mentioned the little-known fact that Rutland, N.D., has the record for making the "world's largest hamburger." The Coteau de Prairies Lodge at Rutland, situated on a plateau, has 17 rooms for large family celebrations and hosts a music festival at the end of August.
The first nationally recognized scenic byway in North Dakota was the Sheyenne River Valley Scenic Byway which extends from north of Valley City to Lisbon and includes the opportunity to "Meet Bob" at the Barnes County Museum. According to Swedlund, "Bob" is one of the most complete examples of a triceratops. Fort Ransom is along this byway and is noted for its Sodbuster Days — a living history of pioneers and their machines, homemade ice cream, etc.
Swedlund indicated points of interest along the newest byway in North Dakota known as Old Red Old Ten which begins in Mandan extending west along Old Highway 10 to Dickinson. Old Red refers to an old wagon trail by that name. Other attractions in the western part of the state include Richardton Abby, the Enchanted Highway, North Dakota's Heritage Museum with its four new buildings and technology that allows visitors to use iPads that show what the dinosaurs looked like when alive at the same time that visitors are viewing the skeletons in the museum.
The Pembina Gorge in the northeast part of the state includes valleys and rugged terrain that appeals to those who enjoy backpacking, extreme sports and riding ATVs on designated trails, Swedlund said.
Swedlund noted the three guest profiles Jamestown Tourism has identified: the history seekers, the outdoor types and those looking for short-term getaways. The byways and backways that Swedlund discussed included something for everyone.
The Front Porch Chat at 2 p.m. Sunday will feature Guinn Hinman, who will speak on the work being done on the old Stutsman County Courthouse, and perhaps some insight into the future plans for its use.

Robocall Protest Draws Small Crowd
An election-fraud protest drew a small crowd, but the organizers vow to keep on going.
A rally Sunday at Old City Hall, the objective of which was to demand an independent public inquiry into voter suppression during the 2011 federal election, turned out to be a bit of a non-event.
With fewer than two dozen protesters gathered around a tent, listening to speeches blaring out of what looked a guitar amp, the rally fell short as a show of force. That said, lead organizer Jon Allan isn't fazed. He points out that this is the third in a series of ongoing protests.
"The very first rally we had about 3,000 people, the whole thing was just full. The second one, we had a few hundred, and this is a die-hard handful," he said. "There is an element of protest fatigue, but this is important and this is an issue that can't be swept under the rug."
Co-organizer Tara Ferrell said that while protesters may have been thin on the ground, the busy Queen Street location provided them with a great opportunity to let the uninformed know more about the so-called "robocall" scandal, which saw thousands of voters in Guelph receive automated calls, supposedly from Elections Canada, during last year's election. The calls told those voters that the locations of their polling places had changed, when in fact they had not. It is suspected that similar tactics were used in several other ridings, but only the Guelph calls are currently being investigated internally by Elections Canada. The protesters were calling for an inquiry that would cover robocalls allegations beyond Guelph, and that would be open to the public.
"Unfortunately, more often than not, when you speak to people about the robocalls scandal, they don't even know what that is," Ferrell said. "I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist on this, but politics always seems to take the back burner [in the media]. Unless it's some scandal involving sexual deviance. That will get in."
The event was also short a guest. Former Etobicoke Centre Liberal MP Borys Wrzesnewskyj, who lost his seat to Ted Optiz by only 26 seats, was scheduled to speak but had to back out at the last minute. Wrzesnewskyj has accused the Tories of rule-breaking in the Etobicoke Centre riding, and has launched a lawsuit against the Conservative Party, which is ongoing. It was because of the case that he was unable to appear.
Former Green Party leader and current Huffington Post columnist Jim Harris did speak. He cautioned against referring to the robocalls as "dirty tricks," saying that the phrase downplays the fact that the calls weren't just underhanded. They were illegal.
"This is something that is deeply concerning to Canadians," he said. "We're upset about this, it violates our sense of fairness."
Allan says that he will keep staging these rallies in spite of the small turnout, because the robocalls scandal is just too important to ignore.
"This is the foundation of our entire democracy," Allan said. "We're living in a developed country, people see all the shiny buildings and they forget that you need a democracy for things to function fairly."

Legal Professionals: Build Your Business
|Lawyers.com > Discuss Your Legal Issue > Ask a Lawyer > Environmental Law > What are my rights as a renter if there is mold present in my apartment?
I am only licensed to practice law in the state of Ohio but have experience representing landlords and tenants regarding mold issues.
Based on that perspective and the facts as you explain them, I don't think that running a dehumidifier will solve your mold problem.
For significant mold growth to occur, there must be a source of water (which could be invisible humidity), a source of food, and a substrate capable of sustaining growth. Common building materials, such as plywood, drywall, furring strips, carpets, and carpet padding are food for molds. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mold_growth,_assessment,_and_remediation
With that in mind, I suggest that you make a written demand on your landlord to undertake an appropriate investigation and corrective action. If he/she expresses reluctance based on cost, you may want to encourage the landlord to tender the matter to his/her insurance company. Tenant claims based on mold should be covered by the landlord's insurance policy. If the landlord still refuses to take any action, you may have to engage an attorney licensed in the state of Washington to file a legal action against the landlord.
At the very least, the source of water intrusion must be repaired first. After that is completed, replacement of the damaged wall, flooring and carpet should be completed.
In addition, the local health department's suggestion for having air samples taken is a good one. You should also consider testing the mold directly to determine which type of molds you are dealing with. Some are more harmful to human health than others. The cost for such testing could be in the $300 -$500 range depending on the number of samples taken. You should be able to find a qualified mold testing and abatement firm in your area through a web search.
Finally, you should also consider staying out of the contaminated room as much as possible until the remediation is completed.
I hope this is helpful. Good luck.

Picardo To Guest Star On 'Dead Zone'By Michelle
May 23, 2003 - 9:28 PM
Star Trek: Voyager's Doctor, Robert Picardo, will get a change of habitat when he guest-stars on The Dead Zone, the USA Network series co-created by former Star Trek executive producer Michael Piller.
The series has been on hiatus but returns Sunday, July 6 to USA Network with new episodes, according to John L. Adams, who plays Bruce on the show and writes a column for its official web site.
According to Adams, Picardo will appear in an episode entitled "The Storm" which picks up where last season's "Playing God" and the second season finale, "Zion", left off.
Adams described Picardo as "very talented and uproariously hilarious", along with fellow guest star Jane Lynch of Best in Show. "I'll tell you right now that the scenes with them are funny, and I mean uptown funny," he wrote.
Recently promoted Associate Producer Eric Stillwell, a former Star Trek production associate, told the Trek Nation that Picardo plays Mitch McMurtry, a midwesterner traveling with family in a Winnebago on a vacation tour of Maine.
"The family has a chance � and humorous � encounter with Johnny Smith (Anthony Michael Hall)," Stillwell explained.
Asked whether the role might become recurring, Stillwell said, "On The Dead Zone, you never know. In this same episode, Johnny also has a chance encounter with the Carnival Man who ran the Wheel of Fortune game in the pilot episode two years ago."
Adams said that the episode's title refers to an electrical storm resembling the one that caused Johnny's accident eight years earlier, which may keep Johnny and Bruce from safely reaching a retreat.
"This is, without a doubt, the most challenging script we've ever done," he wrote.
Adams' complete column can be found here.

MacArthur Fellows / Meet the Class of 2013
Karen Russell
Fiction Writer
New York, New York
Age: 32 at time of award
Published September 25, 2013
Karen Russell is a fiction writer whose haunting yet comic tales blend fantastical elements with psychological realism and classic themes of transformation and redemption. Setting much of her work in the Everglades of her native Florida, she depicts in lyrical, energetic prose an enchanting and forbidding landscape and delves into subcultures rarely encountered in contemporary American literature.
The vividly realized stories in her debut collection, St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves (2006), revolve around a cast of adolescents, often parentless, caught between the worlds of childhood and adulthood, wilderness and civilization, island and mainland, the living and the dead. In her novel Swamplandia! (2011), Russell revisits and expands on the opening story of her earlier collection, "Ava Wrestles the Alligator," to explore the intricacies and consequences of a family's grief following the death of their matriarch. Narrated primarily by its thirteen-year-old protagonist, Ava, the novel weaves together a chilling odyssey into a swampland netherworld; lush descriptions of the flora, fauna, and history of the Everglades region; and profound observations about human nature in the face of irreparable loss.
Russell's recently published collection of stories, Vampires in the Lemon Grove (2013), navigates new and diverse terrain, from a nineteenth-century silk factory in Japan, to a drought-ravaged homesteader settlement on the plains of Nebraska, to the traumatic memories of an Iraq War veteran. Through the wildly inventive premises of these and other stories, Russell is widening the scope of her already far-reaching and distinctive imagination.
Karen Russell received a B.A. (2003) from Northwestern University and an M.F.A. (2006) from Columbia University. Her short stories have appeared in such publications as The New Yorker, Granta, Zoetrope, and Oxford American. She was a fellow at the Cullman Center (2010) and at the American Academy of Berlin (2012), and she has taught writing and literature at Columbia University (2006–2009), Williams College (2009), Bard College (2011), Bryn Mawr College (2012), and the University of Rutgers, Camden (2013).

(Updated with additional CEO commentary after 9th paragraph)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Just a little more three months away from its one-year anniversary as a publicly traded big-data pure-play, Tableau Software (DATA) may be relatively young for its space, but it's proving to have the answers to questions of how to exploit the billions of databases around the world for valuable businesses intelligence.
Fortune 500 corporations, small- and medium-sized businesses, government agencies, universities, research institutions and non-profits make up Seattle, Wash.-based Tableau's more than 17,000 and growing domestic and international customer accounts. That roster is the result of the company's aggressive research and development programs. At their core, those programs help customers see and understand data quickly. But if the foundation of the company's mission seems simple, execution is not.
"Tableau's stated goal is to build one of the most research- and development-intensive companies in the history of this industry," Tableau CEO Christian Chabot told TheStreet during an interview last week.
Tableau's non-GAAP R&D investments have amounted to 24% of revenue for both 2013 and 2012. For the nine months ended Sept. 30, R&D investments jumped more than 87% year-over-year to $42.5 million, with total R&D headcount increasing by over 76% to 297 employees.
Nearly a third of all the company's 1,039 employees consisted of R&D staff as of Sept. 30.
The research and development team has been heavily focused on developing technology that's free of skillset constraints, utilizable by everyone. This direction has been driven by the broad, corporate cultural shift to employee-centric, online-accessible data analytics, from the more traditional, hierarchical or top-down approach toward data analysis and dissemination.
Tableau 9 and Tableau 10 that are in the product pipeline and soon-to-be-shipped Tableau 8.2 are designed to highlight "storytelling" or visually striking data presentation.
Well-positioned to ride the big data wave, Tableau shares, as of Tuesday's intraday high of $95, are now trading over 206% above its initial public offering price of $31 set on May 16. The company closed with a market cap of $5.76 billion on Tuesday.
The company said last week it expects revenue to grow about 58% year-over-year to up to $63 million in the first quarter, and that it added over 1,800 new customer accounts in the fourth quarter.
Chabot commented that Tableau's listing on the New York Stock Exchange increased the credibility and awareness of the company to a level that it hadn't experienced before. And the debut of its Tableau 8 line of fast analytics and visualization software launched last Spring was a major upgrade to the company's product suite, helping Tableau close more business deals.
"The investments that we have been making for a number of years have begun to produce extraordinary results," Chabot told TheStreet.
What follows is an excerpt of the conversation:

As promised, more on the life of Isabella Bird Bishop. She was truly a world traveler, and although she loved it, her traveling life began out of necessity.
On July 11, 1868, Isabella Bird left her home in Scotland a very sick woman. Problems with her spine had flared up; she was depressed and had trouble sleeping. The trip was uneventful as she traveled to Australia and then New Zealand, but on her way back home via the United States, she would be revived, by a hurricane. The raw power of nature filled her with life. From that point on, Isabella spent most of the rest of her life traveling, and making up for what she saw as a selfish life by doing good works.
Isabella was born on October 15, 1831 in Yorkshire, England, to Edward Bird and his second wife Dora Lawson. Edward was a minister and it was a stern, but loving, household where Isabella and her younger sister, Henrietta, were taught the Bible and the importance of charitable works.
From a young age, Isabella was a sickly child. The family doctor prescribed outdoor activity, so her father began the habit of taking her with him to visit parishioners. She rode in front of him on his horse from about the age of three, until she was old enough to ride herself. On these short trips, Edward taught Isabella to appreciate nature, identify trees and plants, measure distance, and how to be an excellent horsewoman. In addition to learning botany from their father, Dora taught Isabella and Henrietta, called Hennie, a mix of subjects and the girls became avid readers.
At the age of 18, Isabella had a fibrous tumor removed from her spine. The surgery went well, but she didn't improve quickly and, as was common during Victorian times, her doctor suggested travel. So in 1854, her father gave her £100 and sent her off to visit her cousins in Canada. He told her she could stay away as long as the money lasted. After visiting her family on Prince Edward Island, she traveled west to Quebec, Chicago and Cincinnati, then back though New England and home.
Isabella's letters home were so vivid and engaging that her family urged her to have them published. She had been publishing articles since she was 16, so a friend put her in contact with John Murray, who not only agreed to publish the book, but became her life-long friend. The book, The Englishwoman in America, was an immediate success, but it wasn't long before Isabella's health began to decline again and she was off back to the United States. This time, at her father's suggestion, to investigate the current religious revival.
The next ten years were difficult for the sisters and kept Isabella close to home. Their father died in 1858, and their mother in 1866. Isabella used the time to publish her second book, The Aspects of Religion in the United States of America, about her trip to the United States, believing it was what her father would want her to do.
The sisters settled into a routine. Hennie moved to Tobermory, a village on the Isle of Mull, in the Scottish Inner Hebrides, where she kept the home fires burning while Isabella wandered. Isabella's health was very bad at this time. In addition to her spinal problems, she was depressed and suffering from insomnia. She needed to take another voyage. Her first major journey after her parent's deaths was to Australia and New Zealand, returning via Hawaii and the United States. It was during the passage to Hawaii that her vessel, the Nevada, was caught in the hurricane.
In Hawaii, Isabella discovered the ease of riding astride rather than side-saddle, a habit which she continued while exploring the Sierra Nevada mountains in the United States. There she visited mining camps and pioneer settlements where she joined in the work. She also met a man named Jim Nugent, "a man any woman might love but no sane woman would marry." It was a romantic time, but Jim drank and was moody, so Isabella's practical nature took over and she left for home. Six months later, Jim was shot and killed by a man on the ranch where she had stayed.
Back in Scotland, Isabella met a man with more sticking power. In addition to preparing two more books for publication, one about the six months she spent in Hawaii, the other about her time in the Rocky Mountains, she found time to take a botany class. There she met Dr. John Bishop, a physician ten years her junior.
John Bishop was very different than Jim. He was gentle, calm, and well respected as a physician. The kind of man who has a stabilizing influence on those around him. He soon became the sister's physician. Intrigued by Isabella's intelligence and boldness, it also wasn't long before he fell in love with her.
When John proposed in 1877, Isabella told him that she wasn't the marrying kind, but he wasn't put off. She wanted to keep their friendship as it was and wrote that he "behaved beautifully" when she told him no. So, rather than commit herself to marriage, Isabella took another trip. This time to Japan, Singapore and on to the Malay Peninsula. There she rode an elephant for the first time and had an unusual dining experience with apes.
Following her usual pattern, Isabella wrote two books about her journey, a two volume work on Japan and a book about her Malay adventures. These would be the last based on letters home to Hennie. In 1881, Hennie became ill and died of typhoid fever. Isabella was distraught, however, while still in mourning, later that year she married John.
Her biographer, Anna Stoddart, was of the opinion that Isabella would never have married had Hennie lived. Pat Barr suggests that she originally refused his proposal because of possible restrictions on her travel while she was still of child-bearing age. Regardless, their life together wasn't long. Isabella was ill for most of the time, and when she recovered, she nursed John, who had developed pernicious anemia. He died shortly before their fifth anniversary.
Isabella was at loose ends. She had always had someone to make a home for her, but now she became transient. At one point, she took a nursing course in London, but when she tried private nursing, it didn't work well for her. Finally, she settled on the idea of establishing missionary hospitals. Her books had sold well and Isabella was financially secure. Over the remaining years of her life, she donated money to found five missionary hospitals, one in memory of Hennie in Pakistan, one in memory of John in Kashmir, and three others in China.
Although Isabella gave money and left the building and administration of hospitals to others, this gave her an excuse to travel. So in 1889, she was off again to the East. This time she began in India and Pakistan, traveled up to Kashmir where she spent time with Tibetans, traveled with sheep caravans, and had one of her servants arrested as a murderer. (Isabella knew nothing of his past until he was apprehended. When asked to check her belongings to see if anything was stolen, she refused because he had behaved admirably with her, although he did have a tendency to scare the villagers.)
After descending from the Tibetan plateau, she made the acquaintance of a British major who was headed to Persia on a mission. He invited her to come along. This resulted in a 500 miles ride from Baghdad to Tehran and geographical survey of southern Persia. When they parted ways, she embarked on a 1000 mile ride through western Persia, Kurdistan and Armenia, finally returning home via steamer from Constantinople.
Isabella took one more trip to Asia. Between 1894 and 1897, she traveled to Japan again, then on to Korea and China. In China, she journeyed down the Yangtze River and once again to the border of Tibet.
Now in her sixties, she stayed active, taking classes, giving lectures, and of course writing books and articles. Almost all of her books were best sellers and she had become quite well-known, so she had considerable correspondence as well. As she neared her death, one of the most difficult things for her was not being able to hold a pen to write for any length of time. But, before that time came, Isabella had one more trip in her.
At the age of 69, Isabella surprised everyone by taking a 1000 mile trek through Morocco. She visited a number of cities and even met the Emperor, although it had to be "secretly managed," and wrapping up the trip with a visit to the Berber tribes of the Atlas Mountains. She described the scene where she met the young Sultan, where he and his officials were all dressed in pure white.
"I standing in front below the steps of the throne, bare-headed and in black silk, the only European woman who has ever seen an Emperor of Morocco I as I am the first who has ever entered the Atlas Mountains and who has ever visited the fierce Berber tribes. When I wished the Sultan long life and happiness at parting, he said that he hoped when his hair was as white as mine, he might have a much energy as I have!"
That was in 1901, and Isabella's energy began to decline. She reached the point where she couldn't write, but her mind was clear and she received visitors and many letters from all over the world to keep her company. Isabella Bird Bishop died on October 7, 1904, having lived a very full life.

I just couldn't wait to bring you Delaney's Serviced video, what with St. Patty's day so close behind us. Hope you didn't over do it with green beer!
This is ONE SCORCHING HOT Serviced video! I can't tell if it is because Brooks is so into it, or because Delaney is so into it. They both just had amazing chemistry!
I think Delaney took the lead, which is not very typical for a Serviced video. Telling Brooks what he likes and to play with his hole. The ass play really got him going. We even got a small toy in there.
There is a quick Out Take in the middle where he almost busts. It is funny to watch Brooks not really stop playing with Delaney's cock. He hasn't had anyone just suddenly nut on him, but I am sure he will, and after it happens to him, I bet he will drop that cock completely immediately! Some of these guys have got hair triggers!
As I said, we got a small amount of toy play. Delaney clearly is just born to perform, but having his back door played with was not act. It's as if he loved every minute of the whole video, especially busting in Brooks mouth and on his face. You can hear me quickly maneuvering to get cameras in position, because after the toy play, he was ready to nut!
Brook's timing is awesome and with Delaney encouraging him to unload, he bust his nut with cum dripping all over his face.
This video has that extra "something" that makes it one to remember and to keep for always!

Slackbuilds available for 14.0
I see the wonderful folk at SlackBuilds have updated to 14.0 ! Many thanks.
To get sbopkg to see this, I hacked /etc/sbopkg.conf and simply replaced all occurrences of "13.37" with "14.0" - there was only 1 line. Then in the repos.d subdir, I edited 40-sbo.repo and inserted "SBo 14.0 "SBo repository for Slackware 14.0" _SBo rsync slackbuilds.org::slackbuilds/14.0 GPG".
Then I started sbopkg and kicked off a rsync. Looks like it's working so far ...
Yeah, ponce posted an howto yesterday:
Ah - I didn't see that. To be fair, it was under a thread titled "Slackware64 14, problems with compiling packages from slackbuilds.org", so there was no formal announcement that SB14 was available.
Thanx for update tho' @brianL !
You're right, it could be easily missed.
Slackware in full swing now. Thanks to the team at Slackbuilds for their work.

Diwon ft. Mikhael, Open Mike Eagle & Nissim - Try Stopping
Diwon, the producer and DJ behind Kyle Rapps' Tyrone Gosling FreEP, is preparing to strike out on the solo tip with the release of independent studio album New Game. Try Stopping, the lead single off the set, offers a tantalizing glimpse of the fresh, eclectic beats and dope guest bars in store. Described by Diwon as "a Roc-A-Fella joint on acid," this cut rides a dissonant, staccato synth rhythm that unfolds into a futuristic-lounge chorus and a chaotic, eight-bit bridge. Rhyming over this outré instrumental are a fittingly diverse trio of emcees: Mikhael's aggressive flows, Open Mike Eagle's suave delivery and Nissim's double-time rhymes add up to a potent cocktail of underground lyricism. Diwon's latest full-length is set to hit record stores and online retailers August 6, via Bancs. In the meantime, of course, you can keep your browsers locked for the latest tunes.

ST. PETERSBURG — Dixie Hollins is one game from making history.
If the Rebels, undefeated in Class 6A, District 10 and the top seed in next week's tournament, can get past the Largo-Springstead winner Jan. 29, they will make the region tournament for the first time. Consider: The school opened in 1959, before most of the current team's parents were born.
There has never been much buzz about the girls basketball team, but the 2013-14 Rebels have changed all that.
"Finally," senior guard Meagan Thomas said. "I don't think girls basketball gets as much attention as it should. It's nice for us to be on the intercom in the mornings."
The reason for the historical season is thanks in no small part to Thomas. She has been a scoring machine since she joined the team as a freshman. She averaged 21.4 points per game her first season and has steadily raised that number to 25.5. Dixie Hollins as a team averages 50, so her impact is evident.
"The first day I watched her play I remember thinking, 'Oh my, this kid has so much potential,' " fifth-year coach Kelley Jones said.
"She was more offensive minded her freshman year. But as she got older and more mature her defensive game stepped up. She's not afraid to take on a team's top player and shut them down."
In Thomas' first three seasons, the Rebels struggled to win. They weren't even close to competing for a district championship. But instead of transferring to a school with more success, Thomas stuck with her teammates.
"I've always liked playing here," Thomas said. "Even in my freshman year when we were losing a lot. I'm not one to give up. I always saw potential in this team. There was no reason for me to leave."
Thomas was right. The Rebels are 16-5 heading into the district tournament. Thomas, who has interest from schools like Daytona State, Charleston Southern, Prairie View A&M and St. Petersburg College, is clearly the main player. But others have contributed.
Senior Haley Martz gets nearly seven points and five rebounds per game. Junior Christine Walling averages nearly six points and five rebounds. And junior Kinza Kahn averages nine points.
"We've been playing together for a while and we've gotten better and better," Kahn said. "We're like a family now."
There has never been a bigger window of opportunity for Dixie Hollins to snap its playoff drought. The Rebels are healthy and on a seven-game win streak. And they are also sick of playing in a gym with no girls basketball banners.
"We always talk about a banner," Kahn said. "But this year it looks like a reality. It's really going to happen."

CollegeHumor Media is dipping its toes in the pool of long-term weekly series, announcing the launches of Full Benefits, Hello My Name Is, and Very Mary-Kate, AllThingsD reported.
Full Benefits explores the ramifications when a "friend with benefits" is also a co-worker. In Hello My Name Is, a professional makeup artist applies prosthetics to cast member Josh Ruben. And Very Mary-Kate follows a former child star with billions of dollars, a 26-bedroom apartment, and a bodyguard.
CollegeHumor president of original content Sam Reich said, "The whole idea is to get people to start thinking of CollegeHumor less as a comedy show and more as a comedy network."

Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
Our contract states simply that i contract the factory to make shoes for me and any dispute will be resolved by Brazilian courts.
I have emails that state that the factory will be responsible for any issues that I may have regarding the quality, but no signed contract stating this.
I have POs that are signed by me and confirmed, invoices, etc.Regarding documentation, everything has been well organized.
This is regarding 1000 pairs of shoes including 5 different styles.There are certain defects that pertain to each individual shoes.
For example, glue stains, cork material that is peeling and bubbling, knife marks, zippers falling apart, etc.
We received the shipment in our warehouse and started to send these shoes to our retail customers, after a few days and many complaints, we began inspecting the shipment and continue to have issues on a daily basis. We notified the supplier immediately and they have been giving me the "run-around".
The financing term was simply given to me based on my financials, not letter of credit was given.
We have been doing business with this supplier for 2 years and we have has our issues, but nothing this bad. I chose not to request any compensation for the proir problems.
I might consider doing business with this supplier if they compensate me for these issues.
The invoice total is $58,000 and have requested $18,000 in compensation.
Shouldn't the factory be required to delivery the products as promised?
It's not really feasible to inspect every shoe for defects.
I thank you for your answers.
So you think that my the only realistic option would be to negotiate something with the factory and most probably for future credit for products.
One more thing, what would you consider a fair factory warranty in my situation.

The governments of Uganda and Burundi and the UNHCR have signed the tripartite agreement that will pave way for the voluntary repatriation of Burundi refugees in the country.
The agreement was signed following a two-day meeting in Kampala, chaired Dr. Stephen Malinga, the minister for relief and disaster preparedness.
Malinga signed on behalf of Uganda while Clotilde Niragira, the Burundian minister for national solidarity human rights and gender signed for Burundi, with Mohammed Adar, the UNHCR country representative on behalf of UNHCR.
The agreement among others establishes a framework for the voluntary return of Burundian refugees in Uganda, now standing at about 13000; specifies a right of return of the refugees without any preconditions; defines the responsibilities of the parties and established a tripartite commission and a technical working group.
The agreement will also set in motion a massive information campaign to promote voluntary repatriation, commence negations with a third country so as to agree on entry and exit formalities and a follow up meeting for the commission and technical working group in a two month-time in Bujumbura, Burundi.
Speaking at the function Mallinga said the signing of the agreement was a special occasion for both governments and the UNHCR. "This is voluntary repatriation and whoever feels that there is now peace in the country should be able to return to their mother country," Mallinga.
With the agreement the refugees can repatriated anytime for as long as they express the interest to return.
He hailed the UNHCR for the role it has played in helping refugees. He also praised the Burundian government for working hard to ensure that peace returns to the country.
Uganda, Mallinga said, has been home to refugees from all countries in the region and will remain so.
Niragira thanked Uganda for help accorded to the Burundian refugees and pledged that her government will ensure that the refugees return in peace and dignity.
"We are grateful for all the support and intervention of President Yoweri Museveni in the Burundi peace process," she said. Adar on his part hailed the signing of the agreement and thanked Uganda for being a home to about 238000 refugees presently.
The UNHCR, Adar said, is committed to the agreement and will ensure that the refugees are repatriated voluntarily.

Rear Wheel Bearing Job Question
Posted 19 May 2007 - 12:45 PM
Would appreciate any ideas.
Posted 19 May 2007 - 04:20 PM
cut it off and buy a new one. so much corrosion on them makes it impossible sometimes to salvage. are you taking the hub to someone with a press to do the bearing?

Tried hitting the bolt with turning force on the head of the bolt -- put a breaker bar on it with a jack under the breaker bar -- nothing! This is turning out to be a real PITA. I'll let you know when it moves -- at this point, the bolt will turn, but the threaded end is stuck inside the collar, where the rubber bushing itself is turning.

I think at this point I will be replacing that bolt (it's twisting 1/4 turn at one end and seized at the other) and the two bushings too.

I tried an impact hammer to break the corrosion weld, then wacking away some more while bracing the the knuckle from behind with a 2x4 , but the dreaded bolt still wouldn't budge.
In the end, I cut it off and destroyed both bushings in order to remove the darn thing.
Watch out for that "sticker shock" effect. I felt raped walking out of the dealer after I bought 6 bushings (2 for each lateral link,1 for knuckle, 1 for the trailing arm) I couldn't believe that such small items could cost so much!
Thanks for the warning, I'll brace myself.
Posted 29 May 2007 - 03:44 PM
Burn, baby, burn. Take a torch to the bushings.
I suggest that it is bushing upgrade time. Call Ralli-spec for the Group N bushings set. Well worth it.
You might as well do both sides while you are at it and get one alignment when you are done.

text: Anyone notice that HBO seems to recycle its actors? For example, Dom from Entourage plays on The Wire. Allen (from the studio) on Entourage also played on the wire. One of Ari's agents that was in the staff meeting in last week's episode was in an episode in the Krazee Eyez Killah episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Plus, Tori from E and Sloane's threesome was Juna from The Comeback with Lisa Kudrow and didn't Larry David show up as himself last season, but with Ari as his agent? Yes - lots of cross-promotion on HBO - although it's still not as bad as Simon & Simon meets Magnum P.I.

***** First of all, THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. IT IS STRICTLY FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES.
***** Mods, please do not move this thread until after midnight tonight into the shout box as it will have maximum visibility in this forum.
I found out today that students who are still in school (or within their 6 month grace period) are eligible to consolidate their student loans just like those who are out of school. Now, I am currently in grad school and I found out that I can consolidate my student loans (locking in the ultra low interest rates that I have today). I contacted my lender and requested early repayment status - which is required to remove your status as being in school (i.e. you waive your grace period). But, I filled out the online application online and e-signed it, thus preserving the 2.77% interest rate.
Rates are going up 1.93% as of midnight tonight. It might do you good to take care of this now and save you some money over the long run.
Hicks, I know that you (as well as others on this board) are in school right now too.
If your loans are with Sallie Mae, then all you have to do is go to http://www.smartloans.com/student .
If you are not currently in school and your loans are with Sallie Mae, then go to http://www.smartloans.com .
If you have loans with other lenders, then look up your lender online and fill out the application. My loans were filled in for me (since I went to my lender's website). I was told that you don't necessarily have to know all of your lender and balance information (a best guess situation would apply).
I don't know anything further than what I was told and what I read on the website.

Kidney Diseases
Morning Pain in Both Kidneys
I am a 44 year old white male, 225 lbs, 5` 09", roughly 20-25 lbs overweight. Healthy, not taking any medicines, excercise 3-4 times a week, mostly elyptical machines. Lately I have been waking up 2 to 3 hours early due to lower back pain ,in the kidney areas (both sides), but when I get up after a bit the pain will go away. The pain subsides but is with me throughout the day, but still remains worse in the morning. I have not noticed any blood in the urine nor any pain (or relief for that matter) while going.I`ve increased my fluids and it`s seems to have helped,slightly.
This type of pain is usually musculoskeletal. To determine if this coming from the kidneys would require examination investigation by a doctor. This would include a physical exam, a urine analysis and possibly blood tests. Further studies may be required depending on the results of the initial investigation.

The Container Store has a hard-earned reputation for not only providing consumer-pleasing storage and organizational products but also for being a great place to work. This Dallas-based corporation has managed to expand from a single 1,600 square foot store to over 50 stores nationwide and now employs more than 3,500 employees. Since 1978, CEO and Chairman Kip Tindell has helped foster a company culture where the employee comes first so that, ultimately, the customer receives happy, friendly service. It's no surprise, then, that The Container Store has been included on Fortune Magazine's "100 Best Companies To Work For" list for the past 14 years and currently ranks 16th. How did this small local business manage to expand into a multinational corporation? Do fair employee practices hold the key to a profitable business?
Kip Tindell is the CEO and Chairman of The Container Store as well as a proponent in the Conscious Capitalism movement. Tindell received the National Retail Federation's 2010 Gold Medal Award, which honors key industry leaders for distinction in service and is regarded as the most coveted award in retail.
