Manta Exhaust SS Toyota Landcruiser VDJ79 With DPF 16 - QUIET *MUDSTUCK*
Toyota Landcruiser VDJ79 With DPF Nov 2016-on Manta Pro Performance Exhaust Systems
Manta Exhaust systems are ideal for anyone looking to get more performance out of their vehicle or who simply want to upgrade their factory OEM set up for a better free-flowing system. Upgrading your exhaust set up to a Manta Performance System has several benefits. By derestricting your whole exhaust system using mandrel bends, high flow catalytic converter and a straight through muffler, you will see an increase in power and torque. Reduced exhaust gas temperature and faster turbo response aid in both the turbo and engine being able to operate at cooler temperatures, while the high flow muffler and straight through pipe design increase performance whilst ensure exhaust noise if not overly excessive.
The Manta Exhaust System comes in either aluminised steel or stainless steel and is designed to mount straight to the existing factory mounting points making the system a straight bolt in retrofit.

Drug information provided by: IBM Micromedex
It is very important that your doctor check you closely while you are receiving this medicine. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to receive it. Blood and urine tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
This medicine may cause a serious type of allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. The most serious signs of this reaction are very fast or irregular breathing, gasping for breath, wheezing, or fainting. Other signs may include changes in color of the skin of the face, very fast but irregular heartbeat or pulse, hive-like swellings on the skin, flushing of the face, and puffiness or swellings of the eyelids or around the eyes. If these side effects occur, get emergency help at once.
Check with your doctor right away if you have any of the following symptoms: blood in the urine, change in the frequency of urination or amount of urine, difficulty breathing, drowsiness, increased thirst, loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, or swelling of the feet or lower legs, or weakness. These may be symptoms of a serious kidney problem.
Hyperkalemia (high potassium in the blood) may occur while you are receiving this medicine. Tell your doctor right away if you have the following symptoms: abdominal or stomach pain, confusion, difficulty breathing, irregular heartbeat, nausea or vomiting, nervousness, numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, or lips, shortness of breath, or weakness or heaviness of the legs. Do not use supplements or salt substitutes containing potassium without first checking with your doctor.
Check with your doctor right away if you have pain or tenderness in the upper stomach, pale stools, dark urine, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, or yellow eyes or skin. These could be symptoms of a serious liver problem.
This medicine may increase your risk of getting skin cancer or cancer of the lymph system (lymphoma). Talk to your doctor if you have concerns about this risk.
This medicine may increase your risk of developing infections. Avoid being near people who are sick while you are receiving this medicine. Wash your hands often. Tell your doctor if you have any kind of infection before you start using this medicine. Tell your doctor if you have ever had an infection that would not go away or an infection that kept coming back.
This medicine may increase your risk of developing rare and serious virus infections, such as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) and polyoma virus-associated nephropathy (PVAN). The BK virus may affect how your kidneys work and cause a transplanted kidney to fail. Check with your doctor right away if you are having more than one of these symptoms: bloody urine, a decreased frequency or amount of urine, increased thirst, loss of appetite, lower back or side pain, nausea, swelling of the face, fingers, or lower legs, trouble breathing, unusual tiredness or weakness, vomiting, or weight gain.
While you are being treated with cyclosporine, and after you stop treatment with it, do not have any immunizations (vaccines) without your doctor's approval. Cyclosporine lowers your body's resistance and there is a chance you might get the infection the immunization is meant to prevent. However, it may be especially important to receive certain immunizations to prevent a disease. In addition, other persons living in your house should not take oral polio vaccine since there is a chance they could pass the polio virus on to you. Also, avoid persons who have recently taken oral polio vaccine. Do not get close to them, and do not stay in the same room with them for very long. If you cannot take these precautions, you should consider wearing a protective face mask that covers the nose and mouth.
In some patients (usually younger patients), tenderness, swelling, or bleeding of the gums may appear soon after treatment with cyclosporine is started. Brushing and flossing your teeth, carefully and regularly, and massaging your gums may help prevent this. See your dentist regularly to have your teeth cleaned. Check with your medical doctor or dentist if you have any questions about how to take care of your teeth and gums, or if you notice any tenderness, swelling, or bleeding of your gums.
Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may increase the effects of cyclosporine by increasing the amount of this medicine in the body. You should not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while you are receiving this medicine.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal (e.g., St. John's wort) or vitamin supplements.

From a recommendation I grabbed a tub of Jack3d which is basically lemonaid with a ton of caffeine, but it also contains creatine. After drinking just one dose with 8oz water, I am bloated the next day in my midsection.
I've taken creatine mono and creatine hydro individually before and didn't notice any bloating. I did try another mix last year (bascially kool-aid and creatine, no caffeine) and there was some bloating but I was able to get it down with diuretics.
Diuretics don't seem to be helping in this case. What's the deal? How can I reduce bloating while taking creatine?
Water in take is probably ~64oz avg on normal days.

Two biggies for Diwali releases coming our way October 16. (And a very HAPPY DIWALI to all; please refer to my Diwali post from last year.) Previewed Blue here, and the other, Main Aur Mrs. Khanna (Me and Mrs. Khanna), is by all means intriguing as well. Starring Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, and Sohail Khan, it's a simple love story based purely on the emotional quotient. Its plot and screenplay will make or break it. For what they're selling -- see the official website for more (its Wikipedia entry is a sheer misrepresentation) -- I think they've got the cast right.
Salman and Kareena were rather good together in Kyon Ki (2005), and there's reason to believe this can work, especially with doses of comedy, Kareena, and an underrated Sohail...*if* debut director Prem Soni gets it right. The soundtrack (Sajid-Wajid; listen at this IndiaFM link) is quite average, with the standouts being 'Don't Say Alvida' by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal, and 'Rabba' (Rahat Fateh Ali Khan). Am I the only one who is reminded of Every Breath You Take (The Police) when listening to 'Pyaar Ka Vaada'? Several trailers at the UTV Motion Pictures YouTube channel.
The Salman Khan film I'm really excited about, and more than enough so to see in theaters, is a friendship saga, London Dreams (October 30). The storyline is appealing, the characters (played by Salman, Asin, Ajay Devgan, Om Puri etc.) invoke tremendous curiosity, the music (Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy; listen at this IndiaFM link) makes my top three soundtracks of the year, and they've filmed in my favorite city in Europe (Paris)! Its trailers promise a beautiful balance between style and substance. Comparisons to Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999) and Rock On (2008) will abound, but it appears this is going to be very different.
A few notes on the lyrics by Prasoon Joshi, which are the best of any soundtrack this year. It's fair to say Joshi has officially cemented himself as being in the same league as Gulzar and Javed Akhtar (just saying he's broken the top tier). He's used a style of Persian poetry to weave his magic with words in a couple songs here (in 'Khanabadosh' and 'Jashn Hai Jeet Ka', for example) -- called 'rubaayee' -- which is a level only the very best reach. 'Mann Ko Ati Bhavey' is *perfect* for Salman. 'Khwaab Jo' should be popular in the awards circuit next year, and 'Tapkey Masti' and 'Yaari Bina' are simply marvelous dance tracks. Urban and rustic, beautifully-worded, and one that makes us hope it's translated competently on screen, four stars to this remarkable soundtrack, and many compliments to Joshi and S-E-L for their fine work.
Also on the thirtieth of October is Bollywood's take on the one and only Aladdin, aptly titled 'Aladin'. Generations upon generations (quite literally, we're talking since early eighteenth century!) have grown up reading or listening to Aladdin's tales. But this isn't that Aladdin. It's Aladin Chatterjee (Riteish Deshmukh) and Genius the Genie (Amitabh Bachchan) versus the Ringmaster (Sanjay Dutt), with Jasmine played by newcomer Jacqueline Fernandes. The music (Vishal-Shekhar) is disappointing, but I like Bachchan's casting as the genie; he was great in Bhoothnath (2008). Also like the effort to make Aladin more culturally relevant to India, but not sure of the direction. Regardless, I'll check it out for Amitabh and Sanjay. (Official website: Aladin.ErosEntertainment.com.)
Having said that, I must note that an obvious bias plays into my view -- Disney's Aladdin (1992) happens to be one of my favorite movies of all time. (Who remembers that fantastic platform game on the Sega Mega Drive (aka Genesis in the U.S.) back in the day?) And here are Jasmine and (well...) I =)
Aside: So I was at Goofy's Kitchen at Disneyland (Anaheim) last weekend, that's where the picture's from. Parents -- for kids three to ten years old, this is an incredibly exciting place. For those like me at a child's birthday event, the food absolutely makes up for a lot. (Mickey Waffles, anyone?) If you're ever in Southern California with family, I'd highly, highly recommend you dine there.
Moving on to November, and the sixth sees Katrina Kaif -- check that: KATRINA KAIF! -- opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahaani (A Fantastic Tale of Unconventional Love). Ranbir's performance in his [early] October film Wake Up Sid might have only received very positive feedback, and I'm looking forward to its DVD, but we knew since seeing him in Saawariya (2007) that he can act. Here, it's a Rajkumar Santoshi-directed comedy in which he plays yours truly (that's right; read hopeless Katrina admirer :) The soundtrack gets a around three stars for being pleasant -- Aatif Aslam fans, check out his two songs, one with Alisha Chinai. Plenty at the film's official (and rather fun) website: AjabPremKiGhazabKahani.tips.in.
Tum Mile starring Emraan Hashmi and Soha Ali Khan is, per its posters, "a love story that goes beyond romance...", centered around the 26 July 2005 floods in Bombay. Everyone from Bombay knows at least one person who was somehow impacted from the crises of the flood, so there's an obvious interest in the theme. Then, we have two good actors in Emraan and Soha, who have quite a bit to work with here. The music (Pritam) is Emraan standard (i.e. good, here's Darshit's review; listen at this IndiaFM link), with the rock version of the title track being my favorite. (By now, hopefully every mention of Pritam triggers a disclaimer of his inability to not plagiarize. So please remember, there's an excellent chance some tunes to songs in Tum Mile are not original.) Official website: TumMile.in.
And finally, there's Kurbaan, releasing November 27 (that's Thanksgiving Weekend in the U.S.), produced in part by Karan Johar. Starring Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor in a film that carries, from the theatrical trailer, a theme reminiscent of the Pakistani film Khuda Ke Liye (2007). As an Indian American Muslim who has lived in Pakistan, I can vouch for the accuracy and authenticity of Khuda Ke Liye. So, if you plan to see Kurbaan, or if you've seen New York (2009) or plan to see My Name is Khan (2010) -- whew -- please consider Khuda Ke Liye (it was a box office success in India as well) to be mandatory viewing.
The soundtrack to Kurbaan (Salim-Sulaiman) leaves some to be desired, I'd expected much more. (To be fair, I've only listened to it a couple times.) 'Ali Maula' is the most authentic of the lot. Then again, I might be more of a purist for the genre, so probably not a good critic of its appeal to the masses (but people, that Arabic bit in Shukran Allah could've seriously been better researched and pronounced!). Official website: Kurbaan.com

The Flesh and The SpiritPhotographs by Sally Mann
Availability: Out of stock
Sally Mann: The Flesh and The Spirit is the artist's first thematic survey focusing on her thirty-year exploration of the human form, tackling often difficult subject matter and making unapologetically sensual images that are simultaneously bold and lyrical. In collaboration with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and accompanying its landmark exhibition opening November 13, 2010, Aperture is pleased to publish the first in-depth look at this world-renowned artist's approach to the body.
This beautifully produced publication includes Mann's earliest platinum prints from the late 1970s, Polaroid still lifes, early color work of her children, haunting landscape images, recent self-portraits, and nude studies of her husband. The series document Mann's interest in the body as principal subject, with the associated issues of vulnerability and mortality lending an elegiac note to her images.
In bringing them together, author and curator John Ravenal examines the varied ways in which Mann's experimental approach, including ambrotypes and gelatin-silver prints made from collodian wet-plate negatives, moves her subjects from the corporeal to the ethereal.
Sally Mann (born in Lexington, Virginia, 1951) is one of America's most renowned photographers. She has received numerous awards, including NEA, NEH, and Guggenheim Foundation grants, and her work is held by major institutions internationally. Mann's many books include What Remains (2003), Deep South (2005), and the Aperture titles At Twelve (1988), Immediate Family (1992), Still Time (1994), Proud Flesh (2009), and The Flesh And The Spirit (2010). She lives in Lexington, Virginia.
John Ravenal (author) is the Sydney and Frances Lewis Family Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond.
David Levi Strauss (essay) is the chair of the MFA Art Criticism and Writing Department, School of Visual Arts, New York.

The Era of Augmented Cognition
Data-driven computing has given rise to cognitive systems such as IBM's Watson, which have the human-like ability to extract meaning from unstructured knowledge, but on a far grander scale. Still, "the objective of cognitive machines is not to think like a human," writes Guest Columnist Irving Wladawsky-Berger, but to work with the human brain to produce better results. "These cognitive systems are truly beginning to augment our human cognitive capabilities much as earlier machines have augmented our physical ones," he writes.

Release Date: July 10, 2014
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Reducing one's carbon footprint. Becoming comfortable with public transit. Exploring Buffalo.
Those are some of the findings of a study, led by Daniel B. Hess, University at Buffalo associate professor in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, which examined a pilot program that offered Metro Rail use to some UB students, faculty and staff for 20 months in 2011 and 2012.
A partnership funded by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) and UB, the program provided participants free and unlimited use of the 6.2-mile Metro Rail system, which includes stops at the university's South and Downtown campuses.
To qualify for the program, participants had to demonstrate a UB-related need to travel between campuses or they had to live within three-quarters of mile of a Metro Rail station.
The study, "Connections Beyond Campus," was funded by the University Transportation Research Center at the City College of New York and prepared in partnership with the UB Regional Institute. Co-authors include Paul Ray, research assistant professor, and Nathan Attard, an urban planning student and research assistant.
It states that 3,123 UB community members participated in the program. Of that, 2,813 were students. The remaining 310 were faculty and staff. The UB research team surveyed the participants, of which 708 responded.
"Our analysis revealed some expected, as well as some unexpected, results," Hess said.
Perhaps most surprising is that slightly more than 10 percent of the respondents, 72 people, indicated they ceased owning a vehicle during the program. In doing so, they saved money by not having to pay for vehicle maintenance, insurance and other costs. This led to roughly $640,000 in combined annual savings for those participants, the study states.
Among the study's other findings:
"The findings are significant because they show how a transportation program affects human behavior. In this case, free Metro Rail use led people to make healthier, more environmentally-friendly decisions that improved the quality of life in the city of Buffalo and its surrounding regions," Hess said.
Most respondents, 87 percent, indicated that they rode the Metro Rail at least occasionally prior to the pilot program. Of those who rode the transit system, 13 percent stated they purchased monthly NFTA passes. Also, 42 percent of Metro Rail users did not have access to a vehicle.
Monthly NFTA Metro passes, which include access to the agency's bus system, cost $75. However, the pilot program included only the Metro Rail system.
UB paid NFTA $10 per semester for the student passes and $30 per year for the faculty and staff passes. That totaled $70,990 for the 20-month program. (UB's Parking and Transportation Services provided that figure, which is based upon the fixed pass cost the university paid to NFTA).
UB also cut service in half on the Blue Line, a bus route the university runs between its South and Downtown campuses parallel to the Metro Rail route. This resulted in $133,333 in savings. All told, UB realized a net savings of $62,343, the study says.
Estimating NFTA's costs are not as easy. The authority utilized a "barrier-free fare collection" system and does not have mechanisms in place, such as turnstiles or swipe cards, to track individual participants. The researchers estimate the program cost NFTA between $101,000 and $361,000 in foregone revenue.
Participating students, and faculty and staff, meanwhile, saved an average of $240 and $223 per semester, respectively, in pass and fare payments that they otherwise would have paid to NFTA. For students, the savings could help pay for their education, the study states.
Ultimately, the study's authors recommend that UB and NFTA resurrect the program, and they offered several options to make it affordable and more equitable. Among them:

Sound guidance for application Management and Application Development. Written by Machteld Meijer and Mark Smalley (ASL BiSL Foundation) and Sharon Taylor (OGC)
This publication explains how both ITIL 2011 and ASL 2 define and address the Applications domain and provide the reader with an insight into how the frameworks can best be applied. Living Apart Together could qualify the relationship between ITIL and ASL. They both have many common interests and frequently (have to) interact but it's also nice to have a home of your own.
2015-07 Whitepaper ASL BiSL and Agile - A perfect match v1 2.pdf
2919 Downloads
When starting an agile way of working in an organization, it turns out that there is little information about connecting agile to traditional departments that use ASL, BiSL and/or ITIL. This ambiguity concerns the organization itself and the roles involved.
In this white paper, Jeroen Venneman, Jan de Vries and Jan Leen van Duijn, have mapped ASL and BiSL processes to agile principles and the other way around. "This may seem to be in conflict", the authors say, "but it revealed the gaps, the overlap and the possible areas where they can strengthen each other."
The goal of this article is to describe the main purposes of ASL, BiSL and Agile and how the three make a perfect match to do your application management and business information management.

In 2002, the Application Services Library (ASL) was launched into the public domain as a framework for application management. The adoption of ASL in the market was quite fast, and it was implemented in many organizations, primarily in the Netherlands. Due to the developments in the application management domain a new version of ASL (ASL 2) was published in 2009 to ensure the framework could keep on providing the answers to both present and future questions. In this article, Louk Peters and Machteld Meijer describe the main features of ASL 2.

In this white paper, Mark Smalley, shows that: 'People in the IT Service Management domain currently seem very interested in, but confused about, the concept of service catalogue. As a result, the services offered to the customer are often not formulated in terms that the business understands. These poorly described IT services lead to inequality – or asymmetry – in the relationship between business and IT, leading in turn to mistrust and ill-informed decision-making. This paper offers guidance how to structure a service catalogue so that they are more easily understood by the business.'

In this white paper, Mark Smallley introduces 'The Big IT Picture' as a paradigm and instrument to help people who encounter a new IT organization and have difficultly discovering who the players are, what they do, how they're related and what systems they're talking about. The Big IT Picture is a way of looking at the situation and asking the right questions and structuring, validating and communicating the answers.

Some of the problems after sourcing IT are caused by overestimating the ability to formalise the division of labour between the various internal and external parties involved. In this white paper Mark Smalley explores this domain and emphasizes the need for mutually closely collaborating sourcing partners to effectively deal with the inevitable gray areas in your information system landscape. An effective sourcing strategy is 'loosely coupled if possible, and closely collaborative if not'.

In this White Paper, Mark Smalley argues that Application management was initially pretty operational and reactive. About fifteen years ago, in response to the higher service levels that the user organisations required, we started investing in improvement of the maturity of application management processes. We are currently slowly moving towards a new phase in which we're looking for an adequate response to the increasing complexity of a new generation of 'virtual' applications based Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). The areas that require extra attention are architecture, ownership (governance) and an 'adhocratic' kind of organization.

Hinley, D.S. & R. van der Pols, Barracuda Content Design; a methodology for the provision of Application Services (English)
Most businesses are now critically dependent on their application systems to some extent when it comes to the support of their business processes and providing pertinent management information to facilitate executive decisions. Organisations continue to make significant investments in application systems both in terms of their initial development and their continued maintenance. Indeed software maintenance is the most important contributory factor to system life-cycle costs. Maintenance and support of an application can amount to between 50% (IBM Research Institute) - 67% (Institute of DP Management) of the overall life-cycle costs. This places a great burden on any organisation trying to find sufficient funds to budget for the initial development of new or replacement systems that may be necessary to exploit new business opportunities.

Application management takes up a substantial and increasing part of available IT budgets. Organisations are concerned about these costs and ask themselves how they can get a grip on both costs and the benefits of application management. This subject has kept the authors of this article Mark Smalley and Machteld Meijer, intrigued for several years. They have incorporated their insights in a contribution to a four-day postgraduate course on the Economics of IT-management, which has been organised under auspices of the Faculty of Economics of the University of Groningen. In this article the essentials from this course in relation to economical application management are expounded.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. officials were surprised that BP Plc suggested an agreement would soon be ready to lift a suspension imposed this week on the company's obtaining new federal contracts, a government source said on Thursday.
"It caught us off guard," the source said. "It's not the case that there is an administrative agreement that is ready to go out the door right now," the source said, adding that any administrative agreement will only be part of a several-step process that could take months.
The Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday suspended BP from obtaining new U.S. contracts over its "lack of business integrity" following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon accident, that killed 11 men and caused the biggest ever U.S. offshore oil spill.
BP responded with a statement indicating that the EPA had informed the company it was preparing an administrative agreement that would "effectively resolve and lift this temporary suspension," and that the EPA said the draft agreement would be available soon.
The U.S. ban does not end the company's existing contracts. But, if it lingers, it could imperil BP's position as a top U.S. offshore oil and gas producer and as the U.S. military's leading fuel supplier.
While the ban is temporary, it could be months before BP is allowed to obtain new contracts, including oil leases off the Gulf of Mexico, because an administrative agreement is just one of a number of steps BP and the U.S. government must work through, the source said.
For instance, the November 15 plea bargain agreement between BP and the U.S. government, in which the British energy giant will pay $4.5 billion in penalties, still needs to be finalized by the court. A date for that action has not been set.
Once it is, BP has 60 days to send a remedial plan to the Department of Justice and the EPA laying out how it plans to meet all of the stipulations in the plea agreement.
The agencies will review the plan and are likely to send it back to BP with proposed changes. The plan could go back and forth among all three parties before a final plan agreed to by all sides is reached.
"BP's saying there is some kind of administrative agreement to lift the suspension in the short term is not technically accurate," the source said. "They have some work to do."
Washington, is not attempting to create a long, drawn out process to lift the ban, the source said. On the other hand, it is not clear when the draft agreement will be sent to BP, the source said.
The EPA did not say how long the process would take when it announced the ban on Wednesday, but an official said government wide suspensions generally do not exceed 18 months. The official also warned they can go longer if civil cases against BP are not settled.
BP did not make any bids in a Gulf of Mexico lease sale held Wednesday. The next Gulf of Mexico lease sale is scheduled for March. BP would also have to sit that sale out if the ban is not lifted.
A spokeswoman for BP said the company had no comment.

Question about Refrigerators
Posted by Anonymous on
SOURCE: water is leaking on to floor checked all
water pump is out of it.
Posted on Jul 07, 2009
SOURCE: GE Refrig. Water leaking on floor after ice maker stopped
look at water delivery tube to the ice mker . it has iced over and pluged up causing the water to go out the back and down on floor . . clear the water tube with hot water and problem is over . .. some models cah use a updated water tube. mm
Posted on Jul 16, 2010
SOURCE: no water leaks onto floor during washcycle no
A lot of concerns have been raised about door bellows molding, mildewing, and/or ripping and needing replaced. A replacement bellow isn't cheap (prices vary, but are around $75-80), so hopefully these helpful steps will eliminate the need to call a repair service and pay the additional labor charges. This is a repair of MODERATE difficulty. Just follow these steps:
1. Unplug the washer.
2. Remove the washer top panel by removing the three torx-type screws (or 7mm) where it attaches in the rear of the washer. The panel should slide back, and then lift off.
3. Remove the operator console by removing the dispenser and the scew(s) behind it. Take a putty knife and insert it under the console seam right above the door. If you push in slightly while pulling outwards the panel pops off. Use care not to pull or damage any of the wiring. You can leave the wires attached and simply lay the console across the top of the washer out of the way.
4. Locate the wire hoop retainer around the rubber door boot. It is located behind the rubber seam where it attaches to the door frame. Follow this hoop around to the bottom of the door opening and locate the wire tension spring. Gently pry this spring apart and pull the wire hoop from the groove. Pull the rubber boot from the frame and push it inside towards the wash tub. You will also have to remove the door boot from the fill tube on the left hand side of the door opening. There is a small wire clamp holding it in place.
5. Remove the three screws that hold the door latch assembly in place. This is on the right hand side of the door opening. You can leave the latch in place as long as you remove the screws and push it inside slightly to remove it from the front casing of the washer.
6. Remove the door by removing the screws holding the hinges in place. Use care to support the door hinges when loosening. They can bend. Set the door aside in a location where it will not get stepped on or broken.
7. Remove the lower kick panel under the door. There are 3 screws under the bottom edge holding it in place. Sometimes the panel can stick. A slight tap on either side will knock it free.
8. Remove the front washer casing by removing the four remaining screws that are holding it in place. There should be two at the top and two at the bottom. Set the front casing aside.
9. Remove the old door boot by locating the large clamp that attaches it to the wash tub. Loosen the 7mm nut and the boot will detach from the tub. Also remove the boot from the fill tube coming from the dispenser.
10. Install new door boot on the wash tub and install clamp. There should be instructions that come with the door boot with guide marks to ensure you align it correctly. Once you have the boot in place, tighten the clamp enough to where it is snug. DO NOT over-tighten or you may damage the tub and or clamp. In most cases the clamp will break.
11. Once you have the boot in place, re-install everything in the reverse order of how I explained to disassemble. Make sure you connect the door latch assembly BEFORE you re-install the outer portion of the door boot. Also, make sure you install the boot completely over the fill tube. There should be a ridge on the tube where to stop. Sometimes the tube is not inserted all way into the boot and water will leak behind it. The clamp is always difficult to get back in place. If you cannot get the clamp to go back over the tube, you can live without it. Some newer models do not have them installed. Just make sure it is a snug fit where the rubber boot fits ALL the way back to the plastic ridge on the tube.
12. When you get the point where you are ready to install the door boot back over the frame of the door opening ensure you fit it snugly all the way around the door. Beginning at the top of the door, start inserting the wire hoop back into the groove. Make sure to wire spring points towards the bottom. As you work your way around the door to the 4 and 8 o'clock positions, you will need to maintain some constant downward pressure while pulling the spring apart in order to snap it back into place. It would be advisable to use a second set of hands to hold the wire hoop in place while doing this as it has the tendency to want to come out of the groove.
13. Once the door boot is back in place, re-install the operator console and washer top.
14. At the operator console, select DRAIN SPIN, NO SPIN and press any button under OPTIONS 4 times (has to be the same button, though). This will place the washer in diagnostics mode. You should hear the door latch lock and "C00" will be displayed on the console. The washer will run through a series of tests filling the tub, tumbling, draining, and then a final spin. If you do not wish to wait for the test to complete you can press CANCEL at any time. The test checks out everything and takes about 15 minutes. Look for any leaks.
Step 6--Removing the door. After you remove the three screws in Step 5, there is only one screw to remove in step 6 on my model. It was hidden behind a plastic cover that makes the hinge look pretty. You'll see on the inside of the door that two plastic prongs/tabs extend into holes in the hinge. If you push on them laterally and pull out, the tabs will pop out. Outside the door on the left side of the machine, you'll see the plastic cover that is connected to those plastic tabs and is hiding the hinge. On the outside cover piece, there is a flat tab that extends up into the plastic housing above it. If you gently pull the cover downward and out the whole plastic cover will come off revealing the one screw that needs to be removed to take the door off.
Step 7--Removing the Kick Panel. The middle screw is more difficult to reach than the sides. You may need an extension for your screwdriver and/or shims or a helper to prop up the washer while you remove the middle screw.
Step 8--Removing the washer casing. The step says to remove the screws and set the casing aside. My model (2005-ish) has wires connected to it. Rather than being able to remove it, it swings open like a door with the wires as the hinge. I simply used a box to prop up the outside part of the door so it did not sag and stress the wires.
Step 9--After you remove the old rubber bellow, you will likely see a lot of dirt, mold, and junk where the bellow was. Clean that stuff off with a cloth sprayed with a gentle cleanser before installing the new bellow. We replaced our bellow because of mold and mildew and bad smelling stuff. That dirt and junk is part of the problem. Clean it up before you install the new clean bellow.

Ready. Set. Shop! And with that, the holiday shopping season is underway.
More than a dozen retailers opened early on Thanksgiving Day and will keep rolling right through Black Friday, traditionally the biggest shopping day of the year.
Long checkout lines formed at a Target in Colma, Calif.; Macy's flagship store in New York's Herald Square was bustling; and patrons were seen digging through a shirt display at a Gap outlet in Los Angeles. Elsewhere, hundreds queued up outside a Kohl's in American Park, Utah, and Best Buy employees were getting pumped up for a big sales day in Overland Park, Kan.
Here, in images, are some scenes from Black Friday across the nation:

Build relationships with landowners through a top-notch farm website.
Young producers seeking a competitive edge in gaining and keeping land-rent contracts are adopting a proven technique from the business world: branding.
Most farm websites are designed to educate or sell products to consumers; business-to-business websites are still relatively new. But Rachel Cutrer, president and print creative director of Ranch House Designs Inc., in Wharton, Texas, says her firm has seen a marked increase in producer websites during the past two years.
"In 2005, we created 16 new websites," Cutrer says. "In 2008, that number increased to 82. In 2010, we put up 123 new websites for farmers and ranchers."
Most of her customers are multigenerational operations that have tasked the younger generation with being the primary contact for the website, Cutrer says. Most spend between $400 and $1,000 a year for design and upkeep of their website.
"For example, maybe the farm owner gets his college-age daughter to work with us on sending in pictures or text for the site," she says. "We also work with a number of farm and ranch wives."
Build a Brand for Your Operation
Brent Johnson, 32, of Ashland, Ill., uses a website to build a business identity for his family's farming operation and to keep Johnson Family Farms top-of-mind with current and potential landlords.
"Basically, we're building a brand of who we are," Johnson says. "We use the website to position ourselves with potential landlords and business associates. It gives them a more professional view of our operation."
The website, designed and updated by Ranch House Designs Inc., of Wharton, Texas, takes a 30,000-ft. view of the operation, which farms more than 3,500 acres in central Illinois.
Johnson says he drew on his own experience as well as his wife's marketing expertise when designing the website almost three years ago. The Johnson Family Farms website consists of a blog, field notes and photos, contact information and a list of the operation's six key competencies: technology, experience, location, relationships, land stewardship and entrepreneurial spirit.
Because of the high cost of land, cash-renting is how many young growers acquire land, Johnson says. While sometimes this still involves neighbors renting to neighbors based on an individual relationship, he says, "80% to 85% of land movement in our area" comes down to a bidding process. Branding his family's operation is one way to stay competitive.
In 2010, reported cash rents in Illinois averaged $169 per acre but varied widely by location, according to the Farm Business Management Report, issued by the Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. The highest rent was $242 per acre in Macon County and the lowest was $72 in Pope County.
"Rarely will we be the highest cash-rent-per-acre bid, but we're the people who are going to mow and trim your roadsides and keep your farm looking good," Johnson says. "You're going to be proud of your farm."
Keep Landowners and Farm Managers Informed
Dave Nelson, 35, of Fort Dodge, Iowa, launched a website for his farming operation this past November.
He says the Nelson Family Farms site is an integral part of his family's marketing plan. In addition to offering the basics, such as contact information and a photo gallery, the site will soon include an overview of strip-till farming, which is the predominant tillage method the Nelsons use, and a password-protected section for landowners and farm managers to help them keep up with details concerning their land.
"It's a great way to show what we're doing," Nelson says. "The site is often the first image people get of who we are and how we operate. It provides instant credibility for the farm," which is now in its sixth generation.
In Iowa, cash rents for soybean and corn acres average $184 per acre, according to the Cash Rental Rates for Iowa 2010 Survey, issued by the Iowa State University Extension. The reported per-acre average varies from a high of $232 in Ida County to a low of $123 in Wayne County.
Nelson and his father rent more than 2,000 acres in central Iowa, growing corn and soybeans. He's prepared newsletters for his business partners for several years and believes the website is a logical extension of that practice.
"It's branding our operations," he says. "It helps with public relations efforts and relationship building."
Share the Family's Business and Farming Philosophy with Visitors
Matt Danner, 33, of Templeton, Iowa, says his family's farm operation has used a website for about 18 months. Like the Johnson and Nelson family sites, the Templeton Family Farms site shares the family's business and farming philosophy with visitors. The site includes a mission statement, a value statement and a stewardship statement, as well as contact information, a photo gallery and a history of the farm.
"It's a conduit to reach landowners, to get ahold of family and for local people to get ahold of us," Danner says.
Danner, who farms several thousand acres with his parents and brother in west-central Iowa, says he's found that local service people use the website to get addresses and phone numbers. When he has equipment for sale, he uses a short newspaper ad to drive people to the website, where he posts photos and detailed descriptions.
Landowners and farm managers receive updates on field conditions and harvest data through a newsletter, but Danner also posts that information in a password-protected area of the website for those who want it sooner. He says he's looking forward to the next technological advancement he can use to differentiate Templeton Family Farms from other operations.
"Someday I'll probably be sending it right to their Blackberries," he says. "Or maybe they'll be able to see it live from the field."

Who could have imagined a quarter-century ago that Eastman Kodak Co. today would be in bankruptcy and getting out of the photography business? Who in 1987 would have imagined a future in which Rochester's Big Three-Kodak, Xerox Corp. and Bausch & Lomb Inc.-together would employ roughly 12,500 people locally, down from more than 60,000?
Few people, no doubt. Yet back then it certainly was possible to identify trends and forces that likely would shape the next 25 years-from the declining role of manufacturing to increased globalization to the hollowing of Rochester's urban core.
The same is true today, as the Rochester Business Journal marks 25 years of covering local business and economic news. It's not known what people, companies and events will loom large between now and 2037, but the key underlying trends are not completely hidden from view.
One of them is the rise of the post-Kodak economy. The once-towering company may succeed in its attempt to reinvent itself, but its days as Rochester's dominant employer are over. More broadly, the Big Three-and the manufacturing sector as a whole-likely will be further diminished locally.
Rochester's transition to a knowledge economy-already well under way-will continue in the coming decades. The region's ability to further enhance its assets in education, health care, information technology and other sectors will be essential to job and wealth creation.
Another trend is the unrelieved burden of state and local taxes. The Tax Foundation this week reported that New York's individual income tax ranks worst nationwide and its property taxes are sixth-worst. This combined burden, built over many years, will not be remedied anytime soon, especially with the fiscal mess at the federal level.
These factors and others-many outlined by RBJ readers in response to a special 25th-anniversary poll-will play a big role in defining the Rochester area's opportunities and challenges.
What's needed is a new generation of growth-oriented companies and community leaders who believe our combined assets, if used wisely, are more than sufficient to build a prosperous future for the community.

Alison Brie at Blue Jays Game
Widely known for her roles as Annie Edison in "Community" and Trudy Campbell in "Mad Men," Alison Brie has been recently recognized for repping the Toronto Blue Jays during Sunday's game against the Orioles. What I don't understand, however, is why Brie is sporting a sad face in the above photo. The team she is donning had defeated the Orioles 13-5 and won their 11th straight game! That's a reason to smile, Brie!
Ok Toronto...now you're doing it for me... @Momofuku!!!! @TheSamuelJMoore!!!! Best meals I've had in weeks!!- Alison Brie (@alisonbrie) June 24, 2013
