What makes a blog tick? An insider's guide to audience connection
Jul 30th
It occurred to me that the variety of posts I ran two weeks ago represents a great cross-section of the overall content — and results — I get here on my blog. I thought it might be interesting to dissect the week of content to illustrate some of the patterns I see with social sharing and how my blog community responds to my content.
When readers tweet and share my posts, these are like "votes" that indicate whether I am aligned with my audience's needs and interests. If you examine the social shares I received over the course of a week, I think it reveals some universal lessons about blogging and connecting with your audience …
First let's look at how the blog posts for the week performed in terms of social sharing (Total of Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+):
Now let's look at each post to see what made it tick (or not!)
Monday: 3 fundamentals of a successful social selling strategy
Each week I try to write at least two strong "pillar posts" — articles that represent interesting new ideas and original thinking. I explored new territory with this subject of social selling so I sensed before it ran that this would be a popular post. When I create something thought-provoking, I am definitely rewarded by my community.
Another reason this "ticked" is that Mondays are usually higher traffic days for blogs. Blog posts with numbers in the headlines also seem to attract more attention.
Tuesday: Few brands driving online influence and advocacy
On Monday afternoon, I received some interesting research about consumers and social media amplification. Since I thought this would be useful to the community, I took a bit of a risk by running an extra post on {grow} and broke my pattern by running two posts on Tuesday.
Running research reports are hit and miss. Since it is not original thinking by me, and not something exceptionally ground-breaking, I expected it to perform "OK" and the chart reflects that. A few weeks earlier I ran a report on social media use at Fortune 500 companies that received more than 1,200 shares compared to less than 400 for this one. Like I said, hit and miss!
Tuesday: Five ways to use social media in sales even if your customer is not on Facebook
This post was risky in two ways. First, it was competing for attention with the research report I had published earlier in the day and second, it was the second part of a "series."
When I wrote Monday's post on social selling it was originally far too long so I broke it up into two separate posts. At the end of the Monday's post, I asked everybody to come back the next day for more on this topic. I NEVER run a series of posts because they seldom work. They are better off standing alone as independent posts.
I thought this "pillar post" would do much better than it actually did. If you look at the total social shares for both Tuesday posts it equaled what I expected for just this post alone, so maybe my risk did not pay off. I'd still do it again though because my mission is to share exceedingly great content with you, and I did.
Wednesday: Unusual writing advice from somebody who should not be giving writing advice
Most Wednesdays I feature a regular paid contributor to the blog and this week it was the wonderful Mars Dorian. Mars is steadily improving as a thought-provoking and creative blogger and I thought he hit this one out of the park. I find the artwork he contributes to his work mesmerizing.
By paying exceptional, regular bloggers, I know I can count on at least one day a week that a trusted colleague is in charge of the blog so I can give full attention to customer stuff. Wednesdays are usually strong blog traffic days and I was very pleased by the audience's reaction to the blog post through both social shares and some lively comments.
Another lesson from this blog post: No matter how good a guest post might be, it almost always get lower audience attention for one simple reason: It's not me. This is not any sort of bragging on my part. It is simply a fact of the business. People generally come to Schaefer's blog because they want to see Schaefer. But I love my regular columnists and the diverse views they bring to these pages so I will always feature high-quality guest bloggers.
Thursday: Extreme Content Marketing with Julian Smith
This was a video blog with a fun and interesting guest but it had two things going against it. First, Thursdays are a normal slump day for blog traffic and second, video blogs always, always, always get less attention than regular blog posts.
Why? I have no idea. I like video blogs because they mix it up and add a little entertainment value to {grow} but I simply have not figured this out. The chart reflects that this was the lowest-performing post of the week and that is usually the way it is with videos, unfortunately. Anybody have any feedback on that?
Friday: Television 2.0. A {growtoon}.
For the past two years I have paid some creative loonies to come up with an original cartoon every Friday. Why?
- Nobody else had ever done that (although a few people have since copied this)
- It provides original content but does not take any time in terms of community management
- I don't know about you but by Friday I'm tired and a cartoon is about all I can handle!
The {growtoons} get a relatively low amount of shares and comments but people seem to love them.
Overall, it was a typical week and we can take away a few lessons on igniting your audience:
- Timing matters. Posts published earlier in the week do better.
- Posts with numbers in the headlines tend to attract attention.
- If posts run over 1,000 words, break it up into two posts (in general).
- Breaking a consistent pattern and overwhelming your audience with content is a risk.
- A "series" generally does less well.
- Videos blogs attract fewer social shares, at least for me.
- Guest posts generally get less social shares but still add diversity to the blog.
- Most important, make your posts INTERESTING. Your community responds and absolutely rewards you when you do a great job!
Notice I did not mention anything about aiming specifically for great SEO value with any of these posts. I think with that ever-changing landscape, I would drive myself crazy trying to do that! I firmly believe that in the long-term, if you create valuable, interesting content that ignites your readers to comment and share, the SEO will take care of itself.
What do you think? Make sense to you?
Social media research, customer insight, and the power of the one
Jul 29th
I'd like to tell you a short, cautionary story today to explain why I am wary of "word clouds" and most other trendy displays of social media data and "sentiment." By the end, I hope you will be wary, too.
Long before the days of Sysomos, Radian6, or even Facebook, the only way to learn about trends and "sentiment" was to actually poll your customers or go out and talk to them.
When I was a marketing director for a large company I led an activity called "Listen to the Customer." To augment regular customer surveys, every other year we would get on a plane and actually visit with a cross section of customers face-to-face. This was not a "nice to see you" visit. This was a rigorous process to help identify trends, ideas, and ways to improve our product.
One year, after we had spent weeks on the road, we concluded our trip with a group of researchers at their headquarters in Atlanta. In the very last hour of the very last meeting, one scientist mentioned in an off-handed remark that he had seen a new preliminary government study indicating that a chemical in our packaging might be related to health problems.
We were stunned. WHAT?
Although the research was indeed preliminary, if it turned out to be true this would be a devastating development that could bring our company to its knees.
The power of "the one"
As a cautionary measure, we immediately began a multi-million dollar effort to eliminate the suspicious chemical from our product. This was a very unpopular program both internally and externally because there was no proof of a problem yet. After three years of research and customer testing, we introduced new packaging that was completely free of the chemical.
Two years after we had made the change (five years after that customer meeting!), a front page article in the Wall Street Journal announced conclusive new research linking the chemical to a variety of human health issues. We were in good shape. Our competitors were not.
I wanted to tell this story because if we had depended on a word cloud or a chart of "sentiment analysis" to tell us what was going on with our customers my company would have never made this discovery and avoided a catastrophe.
These new analytic tools can make us lazy marketers. In the past few weeks I have sat in meeting after meeting looking at customer "research" based on word clouds and beautifully-designed infographics that tell us NOTHING about what is really going on in the marketplace.
Dig deep for insights
We will rarely get break-through insights from a high level data summary … which is probably the same thing our competitors are seeing any way. Insights that lead to innovation do not normally come to us through lists of averages and word counts.
Do you really want to find competitive advantage? Get out of your word cloud and spend a couple days with your customers. Ask them what they love. Ask them what they hate. Ask them what keeps them up at night. Dig deep. Ask why, why, why, why, why.
Do. The. Work.
What is your take on this issue? I'd love to hear from you in the comment section!

5 Great ideas to unleash business benefits from Twitter Lists
Jul 25th
One of the most important and powerful social media network building tools is the humble Twitter list. In fact, for many people this is the first place to go to find awesome new people for your community.
Twitter Lists allow you to organize the Twitter stream so you can make sense of what might seem like chaos. For the basics of creating a list and finding other relevant lists, here is a nice Twitter List tutorial from Mashable)
You can make the Lists public for the world to see, or keep them private as your own content curation tool. There are so many ways to use lists. Here are a few you might not know about.
1. Share your Lists on other platforms — Most people share their lists within Twitter. But don't stop there. Plan on sharing the links to your lists on your website or blog. Choose a name that is enticing and accurate such as "my favorite bloggers" or "metals industry experts."
2. Create Lists helpful to your target audience – Think of Lists as a marketing tool. If you are in the metals business, would your customers appreciate a Twitter List of international resources? If you are a teacher, would your students appreciate a list of the experts you follow in your field? If you are a blogger would your fans like to see a list of your favorite bloggers?
3. Use Lists to create mini-communities – Let's say you blog about parenthood, or you're a retailer that sells products for new and expecting parents. Why not build a community that also aligns with your business needs?
Create a list for expectant parents on Twitter. Make the initial list from whomever you know is expecting, then invite others to join your list. Spread your invitation far and wide on Twitter, your site, Facebook, etc. Expectant parents can send a message to you to get added to the list. Ask the List members to nominate other expectant parents on Twitter. Keep spreading the word until you hit the 500 List member limit.
Now, you've created a mini-community consisting of your target market. It's a great resource for the List members and provides a real service to them. It's a place they can go to view the tweets of other expectant parents, kind of like a chat room. In the process, you've met a whole bunch of new potential customers that you can now get to know and share your products with.
4. Build your blog — There is no better way to build blog audience than by building your Twitter audience. If you engage with people on Twitter and help them, they may be interested in links to your blog too. Here's how to do this:
If you find an ideal person for your blog community, look at where he or she has been listed. It's likely you'll find lots of similar people you also may want to follow and get to know. Similarly, look at the public lists this person has curated. You find new audience members here too.
Here's how to follow an entire list:
- Click on Lists when viewing someone's profile.
- Select which list you'd like to subscribe to.
- From the list page, click Subscribe to follow the list. You can follow lists without following the individual users in that list.
5. Include yourself in your Lists – Since people can subscribe to your Lists, be sure to include yourself so they can see your tweets. As people follow these lists, they will be following you, too. This is a little tricky because some time ago Twitter changed their platform so you can't add yourself any more. But you can work around this.
Here's a tip from my friend Neicole Crepeau:
To add yourself to a Twitter list, use one of the Twitter clients (Tweetdeck or Hootsuite). Here's how to do it in Tweetdeck:
- Click on your profile picture next to the tweet.
- Click on the More Actions icon and select Add or remove from lists
- Use the dialog to select the lists that you want to add yourself to, or create a new one.
- There's no Done or OK button. But if you select list and then close the dialog, it adds you.
It's just that easy.
Streamline your Twitter experience by curating your Twitter lists using a few of these popular tools:
Twitilist is a user-friendly Twitter list manager that lets you drag and drop the people you follow on Twitter into sortable lists.
Tweepi lets you analyze and filter tweeps out based on their activity and sociability.
Commun.it helps you find the most valuable members within your Twitter community and beyond it by sorting your followers into Influencers, Supporters and Engaged Members. In addition, you can set up specific keyword searches and Commun.it will find the people who have those keywords in their profile or tweet about those keywords often.
Manage Flitter: This costs a few dollars a months but allows you to rapidly clean up your Twitter account, including those who have been inactive or no longer follow you.
SocialBro helps organize your followers and friends into Twitter lists and provides multi-level stats.
So there you have it … Twitter Lists 101. If this was helpful, please consider sharing with the people in YOUR Twitter community.

not such a great deal anymore
This review is from: HP ProLiant ML310e Gen8 Micro ATX Tower (4U) Server System Intel Xeon E3-1220V2 3.1GHz 4C/4T 4GB DDR3 No Hard Drive 686232-S01
Pros: HP quality. cool silver color now.
Cons: Server uses only new GEN8 HP proprietary disks so I can no longer buy WD raptor drives and insert into inexpensive generic drive tray. I hHad to buy HP branded disks for 3 times the cost of the basic ones that I used to be able to just slide into a generic drive carrier so this is no longer an option for a cost effective server. If this concerns you try to find an HP G7 server or buy another brand of server.
Other Thoughts: Great if you don't care what your server costs. Maybe there is some advanced functionality that rich enterprises may want in these new more advanced drive (same drive but with some new firmware and drive carrier) but for the lower end SMB I can't imagine anyone would want this feature. as of today (Oct 2013) you can find generic drive sleds that have some electronics in them but I'm not sure if they work with regular SATA drives and they are about 3x-4x the cost of the G7 drive trays each. Thumbs down for greedy HP gouging SMB customers.

Nice server, drive trays now readily available.
This review is from: HP ProLiant ML310e Gen8 Micro ATX Tower (4U) Server System Intel Xeon E3-1220V2 3.1GHz 4C/4T 4GB DDR3 No Hard Drive 686232-S01
Pros: It's a HP server, high quality at a good cost.
Cons: You do need to buy Gen8 drive trays to use 3rd party drives. The Gen8 trays is slightly different than previous generations and the older ones will not fit in the server. They were hard to get at first but are now readily available from US based retailers.
Other Thoughts: Most OEMs (Dell, etc.) charge a huge markup on their drives, even with the cost of the trays to use 3rd party drives it's still similar or lower in cost and you get a better warranty.

Meh - proprietary
This review is from: HP ProLiant ML310e Gen8 Micro ATX Tower (4U) Server System Intel Xeon E3-1220V2 3.1GHz 4C/4T 4GB DDR3 No Hard Drive 686232-S01
Pros: HP quality and forward thinking technology (I guess). Cool new paint job.
Cons: The new GEN 8 servers use HP GEN 8 hard drives that are highly proprietary and expensive. The drive are smaller than the previous generation but also use a new drive carrier design which has some electronics in them which interface with the drive and back plane so that you can no longer purchase inexpensive performance drives such as WD Raptor and generic HP drive carriers. The cost of 2x 1TB 7200 RPM HP drives is more than this base server! Also uses new HP 'Smart memory' though I have read that if you use older HP memory or possibly generic memory that BIOS will past a warning on boot. Not sure what the benefit is of this smart memory other than forcing you to pay more for HP OEM memory.
Other Thoughts: I do small jobs for SMB's using high value servers and based on HP locking you into use their way overpriced OEM drives and memory I will never use HP again for my servers since the effectively no longer make value orientated servers. If you can still pickup an ML110 G7 go with that since it readily accepts generic memory and generic drive carriers with any SATA drive. I would have returned this server but decided to pass along the extra cost of drives to my customer rather than passing along shipping costs to return this in addition to a restocking fee but I'm pretty upset at HP, though it serves me right for jumping in and buying the new gen 8 server without proper research. Hopefully this post helps someone.

Great professional level server for home
This review is from: HP ProLiant ML310e Gen8 Micro ATX Tower (4U) Server System Intel Xeon E3-1220V2 3.1GHz 4C/4T 4GB DDR3 No Hard Drive 686232-S01
Pros: For a very reasonable price you get a real server, that may ideally fit to your home network.
Cons: No Gen8 HDD caddy trays in the real world! Shame to HP!
Other Thoughts: This is a great professional level server for home or a small office. I've bought it for my home, installed windows server 2012 essentials (for a very reasonable price) and got a very useful addition to my home network. I can monitor health of the home computers, make regular backups of their data, I have shared access to the documents, pictures and media files.

Not a bad Server Thus Far
This review is from: HP ProLiant ML310e Gen8 Micro ATX Tower (4U) Server System Intel Xeon E3-1220V2 3.1GHz 4C/4T 4GB DDR3 No Hard Drive 686232-S01
Pros: I read so many articles saying that This server requires HP brand hard Drives and beyond that requires Hp brand HDD specific to Gen 8. This is un-True. I have installed WD Veli drives and works like a charm. HP Array controller says These are not genuine HP Drives and thus the Led lights will not be controlled. Um I don't Care Thanks though HP!!
Cons: The Drive trays are extremely difficult to get ahold of without purchasing an hp drive. UGH Come on HP lets play nice. The articles about the HP smart memory being required is correct. Standard non HP Ram will not work so give it up on that one. But you will save quite a lot on not purchasing the HP drives. So I am fine with that the HP mem is quite a bit more precise in any case.

Wheelabrator raises funds for Portsmouth's Krempels Center
PORTSMOUTH - Employees of Hampton-based Wheelabrator Technologies were at the Krempels Center on Wednesday to present a rather large check to the organization after a successful fall fundraiser.
Wheelabrator helped raise more than $16,000 during the Krempels King of the Road Bike Challenge, held in October. The proceeds benefit the nonprofit Krempels Center, which is dedicated to improving the lives of people living with brain injury from trauma, tumor or stroke.
Founder David Krempels announced the total results of the Seacoast cycling fundraiser while surrounded by more than 40 members of the Krempels Center living with brain injury, in addition to employees of Wheelabrator and representatives from LOCO Cycling.
"The Wheelabrator Team wowed us with their Krempels King of the Road Challenge participation and energizing raffle fundraising effort," said Lisa Couture, executive director of The Krempels Center, in a press release. "We are very grateful for their participation and support of our program and services."
The team raised more than $13,000 for the center through their participation in the October cycling challenge and an additional $3,000 through a Cannondale bike raffle.
"Our Wheelabrator team was proud to take part in the Seacoast cycling fundraiser to assist Granite State residents in rebuilding their lives," Wheelabrator Vice-President of Operations William Roberts said.
Wheelabrator operates 17 waste-to-energy facilities that provide safe waste disposal for towns and cities across the United States while providing clean energy.

Hello all, I am a newbie here and this is my first post. The main reason I joined is to share my passion for bicycling. I also joined to learn and help out where I can, I know a lot about BMX and not as much about mountain biking which I have a specific question about.
You see I have to make a choice between a Motobecane Phantom Comp DS and a Specialized Rockhopper Comp.
I am more attracted to the Motobecane because of the full suspension although the Specialized is in better condition. I don't know a whole lot about the components but I think the Motobecane has slightly nicer components although it would need some minor repairs to get it riding to it's full potential.
Here is a list of the components on each bicycle...
Motobecane Phantom Comp DS:
-Pilot Rock Shox(front)
-Air Rock Shox(rear)
-WTB Speed Disc rims
-Ritchey Comp headset
-WTB handlebars
-TruVativ isoflow cranks
-ProMax disc brakes
-Shimano Deore shifters
-Ritchey seatpost
-WTB seat
Specialized Rockhopper Comp:
-Tora front suspension
-Specialized Alex rims
-Specialized headset
-Specialized handlebars
-Shimano cranks
-Avid disc brakes
-Shimano Deore shifters
-Specialized seatpost and seat
Which do you guys think is a better bicycle in general? I can post pictures if that would help.
Thank you!

"Ocracoke Island" Top 5 Page for this destination Ocracoke by TimDaoust
Ocracoke Travel Guide: 99 reviews and 225 photos
I have been to Ocracoke, three times for the past few years, always in June. It's not only a great place for a get away but the island has a history and a personality that charm you from the moment you get off the boat. Life is different out here. The locals seem to be all fishermen or otherwise they work at the many businesses that thrive on the tourists that come here. It can be fun to just sit on the docks at Smacnally's or hang out at Ocracoke Coffee House and just listen to the locals and people watch, wondering what it must be like to live so secluded from everything. There are several local music groups that play here at different venues, the Deepwater Theater being one of the most known. There is a school and a health clinic, a bank and several variety stores where the locals buy their groceries. One realizes that this is not just a tourist destination, it is a village where life goes on as usual, even though they have only one restaurant that stays open year round.
There is plenty to do here besides history lessons and touristy shops. You can rent kayaks and paddle the harbor, you can go deep sea fishing on chartered boats, you can eat seafood with the locals, you can get fresh Maine lobsters at Howard's Pub, flown in from Maine every day. (There's an airstrip across the street) There's a lot of nature to discover as most of the island is part of Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Hatteras Island is not far away, an easy day trip. The ferry to Hatteras is free.
The best part is camping on the dunes. There are also plenty of hotels and B&B's to stay at in the village. Here is a good map of the village that has places to stay, things to do, places to eat.
- Pros:Charm, tranquility and culture
- Cons:Bugs
- In a nutshell:Tiny island paradise

researching this area at the momemt - ta for wthe good info
Visited McNally's 5/30/07 - burger was delicious & cooked as the waitress described. Curly fries too. Sitting dockside was best part. Fun to watch fishermen come in, getting photo taken with their days catch pegged to ad board over their head.
This vacation spot has everything, including good food and a heart! Lucky you to have this as a tradition!
You have some very helpful additions to your tips, Tim! Ocracoke makes a nice lazy as you want vacation--the best kind for me these days w/old age and all. :)) Telling ghost stories around the campfire, etc. now that's fun. No wonder Bob didn't mind! ;)
Sad about the British cemetery – glad the residents gave them not just a proper burial but a beautiful place to rest, too. Wonderful page, Tim! No wonder you love this place with its history & natural beauty & peace. Sounds like heaven!

1982 Datsun 280ZX news, pictures, specifications, and information
The 1981 Datsun six-cylinder engine was given a compression change, now rated at 8.8:1 and boosting horsepower to 145 bhp (an increase of 13 over the prior year). The 280ZX was available as a 2-person hatchback coupe and a 2+2 hatchback. Standard equipment and options were the same as the 1980 models.
Pricing for the 280ZX ranged from $11,300 - $17,000.
With the Garrett AiResearch turbocharged engine (which added a 7.3 psi boost), the 280ZX produced 120 horsepower. A five-speed manual gearbox was standard, as were the disc brakes at all four corners. Zero-to-sixty MPH for the turbocharged version was done in just 7.1 seconds. Top speed was in the neighborhood of 89 mph.
For 1982, Datsun produced a total of 1,815,792 passenger cars, of which about 470,246 were sold in the United States.
For 1982, the turbo versions could be purchased with either a five-speed manual gearbox or a three-speed automatic. All models were given a NACA-style hood scoop, as introduced on the Turbo. Also new were the urethane body-color bumpers and the grille was slightly modified. In the back, the tail lamps were slightly updated and bodyside moldings blended into the profile a little better than in prior years.
New mechanical features included power steering as standard equipment and a voice warning system.
Pricing ranged from $14,500 - $18,300. The base 280ZX six-cylinder engine produced 145 horsepower while the turbocharged version produced 180 bhp.
By Daniel Vaughan | Jul 2011
Introduced in 1975 as the successor of the 260Z, the Datsun 280Z was the final version of the 1st generation Z sports car. At the end of the 1978 model year, the 1st generation Z was discontinued and replaced by the 1979 280ZX.
Unique to North America, the 280Z nameplate was sold as the Fairlady Z in Japan.
Powered by the 170 HP OHC Inline 6 L28 engine, the L28 was an electronically fuel injected engine utilized by the 280Z. The L28 was very similar to the naturally-aspirated L26 and L24 which had preceded it.
Available with either a 4 or 5-speed manual or a 3 speed automatic transmission, the 280Z featured rear independent suspension. The vehicle also featured 14' alloy wheels, rack-and-pinion steering and a large array of dashboard gauges.
The 280Z was available in two various body styles, either the 2-seat coupe or the 2+2 4-seater. The 4-seater was a longer model and slightly wider than the standard 280Z, though it shared similar performance characteristics.
In October, 1969, the 1970 240z was introduced to the U.S. by Yutaka Katayama, president of Nissan Motors USA operations. The man widely known as 'Mr. K.', introduced the early 1970 model with a chrome '240' badge emblazoned on the B-pillar quarter panel. The following year the B-pillar side badges were restyled with the letter Z in white.
It was powered by a 2.4 liter straight-6 cylinder with 2 sidedraft S.U. Carbs, which had the ability to produce 150 horsepower. The 240z was only available to the U.S. with a manual 4-speed transmission.
In 1971 the transmission and rear differential was improved, as well as the crankshaft redesigned. It was now available in 3-speed automatic transmission that was produced by Jatco.
To lower the compression ration from 9.0 to 8.8:1, the combustion chamber shape was altered to lower the emissions and power band the following year. Automatic seatbelts were installed, along with the rear window defroster lines changed from vertical to horizontal in 1972.
In 1973 different manifolds and cylinders were installed to lower emissions, along with flat top Hitachi SU carbs.
Tinted Glass 3-point adjustable seat belts were installed, along with collapsible steering columns, reclining seats, and intermittent windshield wipers as standard equipment.
The 260z was introduced in 1974 and offered an increase stoke of 79mm with an increase of engine displacement to 2.6 liters along with a jump in horsepower from 129 to 139.
Lengthening the overall length of the 260z by 12.2 inches, and adding 200 more pounds to the vehicle weight, the 2+2 body style now offered quarter windows which opened.
Until midyear of 1975, the 260z continued to be produced. By enlarging the front and rear bumpers of the 260z to meet Federal regulations, a total of 130 lbs was added to the weight of the vehicle.
Halfway through 1975, the 280Z was introduced to the market. Replacing the SU carbs on all models with Bosch's L-Jetronic field injection, and the 3mm bore increase raised engine displacement to the 2.8 litre was designed to withstand tougher emission codes.
Producing 149 horsepower, the 280z was only sold in the U.S. All models in California were required to have a catalutic converter in the exhaust system.
Because of its relatively low price when compared to other foreign sports cars of the time, the vehicle became hugely popular in the American market.
During the 1970's, the Z was very successful in racing and is credited as a catalyst for the current import performance parts industry. Sports Car International named this vehicle number two on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1970's in 2004.
Datsun offered a special edition 'Black Pearl' 280Z in 1978 with all options standard. Around 850-1500 vehicle were produced and were offered in black pearl paint with a unique stripe-kit.
By Jessica Donaldson
The 240Z was not a new idea. Sturdy engineering, excellent performance, low price, attractive styling, and average interior had been achieved by many manufacturers prior to the Z-car. The reason the 240Z car was so great was because it capitalized on all these criteria and perfected the concept of a low-cost, reliable, sports car. Mr. Yutaka Katayama is considered the 'Father of the Z Car' and is responsible for the design and creation of this legendary vehicle. As recognition of his contributions to the automotive world, in 1998 he was inducted into the Automobile Hall of Fame.
The Datsun 240Z was introduced in 1969 as a 1970 model. The engine was a derivation of the Datsun 1600. The Datsun 1600 engine was a copy of the 1960's six-cylinder Mercedes-Benz 220 engine, but with two less cylinders. By adding two extra cylinders in the 240Z the cylinder count was back to six. With 151 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque the vehicle could propel from zero-to-sixty in eight seconds. The independent suspension and the rack-and-pinion steering added to its quick response, performance, and handling. The front disc brakes brought the car to a stop from high speeds in just seconds. With a price tag of just over $3,500, it cost much less than anything else on the market. Due to demand, a year later Kelly Blue Book rated the value of a used 240Z at $4,000.
The 240Z dominated the SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) C-class production category for 10 years ranging from 1970 through 1979. In 1970 and 1971 John Morton, driving for Brock Racing Enterprises, was the first to claim victory in SCCA C-Class production racing using a 240Z. Bob Sharp claimed his first win in that category in 1972 and again in 1973 and 1975. Walt Maas continued the streak in 1974. The Z-car competed in the IMSA (International Motor Sports Association) where it captured many victories, including the IMSA GTU title. In 1982, Devendorf and his Electromotive racing team win Datsun's first ever IMSA GTO championship.
In 1985, Paul Newman set 10 track records in a 280ZX Turbo.
In 1994, a race-modified Z car won the 24 Hors of Daytona and the 12 Hours at Sebring. It also captured the GTS Class at the 24 Hours of LeMans, making it the only car ever to accomplish such a record within the same year.
In 1974, the engine displacement was increased to 2.6 liters and the vehicle was dubbed the 260Z. This brought an end to the 240Z series which had sold 116,712 examples during its life-span. The United States emissions regulations were increasing every year. Thus, the 260Z had less horsepower than its predecessor and was rated at 139.
The 260Z was available in 2+2 configuration. With the fold-down rear seats, the 260Z offered a higher level of practicality over the 240Z. During its first and only model year, 63,963 examples were produced giving it the all-time Z-car sales record to date.
In 1975 the displacement was increased to 2.8 liters and the vehicle dubbed the 280Z. A Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection system was included which helped bring increase the horsepower to 149.
In 1977, the horsepower rating was 170. A five-speed overdrive transmission was now offered, giving the vehicle better performance and fuel economy. The sales of the Z car once again hit a record high, with 67,331 units sold.
In 1979, the second generation of the Z-car was introduced as the 280ZX. It was more refined and luxurious than the previous Z's. The formula was correct and it was named Motor Trends 'Import Car of the Year'. A new all-time sales record was achieved with 86,007 units being sold.
In 1980, over 500,000 cumulative American Z-cars had been sold. It had reached the half-million sales mark faster than any other sport car. A new T-bar roof option was now being offered.
To add to the appeal and performance of the 280ZX, a turbocharged engine became available in 1981. Sales continued to remain strong through 1983.
In 1984 the third generation of the Z-car was introduced and was dubbed the 300ZX. It featured distinct styling and a new 3.0 liter V6 engine. The normal-aspirated engine produced 160 horsepower, while the turbocharged version offers 200 horsepower.
In 1989, the American automotive economy was continuing to evolve. Minivan's and sport utility vehicles were gaining in popularity. In response, Nissan introduced the fourth-generation Z-car in 1990. The new 300ZX featured improvements both mechanically and aesthetically. Under the hood sat an all-new DOHC 3.0-liter engine with a horsepower rating of 222. A twin-turbocharged version of the engine was available and brought the total horsepower output to 300. The body of the vehicle had been improved giving it a more aggressive stance.
Motor Trend awarded the Z00ZXTT 'Import Car of the Year' and 'One of the Top Ten Performance Cars'. Automobile Magazine honored the car with 'Design of the Year' and was added to its 'All Stars' list. Not to be outdone, Road & Track named the car 'One of the Ten Best Cars in the World'. Car and driver named it 'One of the Ten Best Cars'.
During the 1990 model year the one-million sales mark was achieved making it the all-time best selling sports car. The car continued to receive great reviews and awards by Magazines and publications. The year 1995 marked the 25th Anniversary of the Z-car. To commemorate this occasion, a limited edition was produced with the help of Steve Millen Sport Cars.
In 1996, the production of the Z-car ceased in North America. Decreasing Sales figures, and increased smog regulations and production costs were to blame. The price of the twin-turbo 300ZX was priced at $45,000, a cost that was to expensive for most consumers. Production of the Z-car continued in Japan until 1999, although it had undergone a major redesign in 1998.
In August of 2002, Nissan introduced the 350Z. This six-gear, two-seater was the fifth generation of the Z-car. Offered in five trim packages that included Base, Enthusiast, Performance, Touring, and Track Editions, the vehicle was an instant success. Base price was around $26,000 with the fully-loaded Track option costing over $34,000. Aesthetic and performance upgrades were available through Nismo, Nissan's motorsport and performance division.
In 2004, a roadster option was offered. The roadster was available in two trim packages which included the Enthusiast and Touring editions.
A special 35th Anniversary model was released in 2005 featuring twice the output of the original 1969 model.
Sales figures, race results, and satisfied customers have proven this to be one of the best sports vehicles ever produced.

Marmot Flashpoint Half-Zip Pullover
See it in action.
Warm and light!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
I really like this fleece! Title says it all :) I'm 5'5" and 130#, the small is snug but not too tight. Love that it was thumbholes! It does not, however have pockets as stated above
Pocket on arm fell off after washing it
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
After wearing once washed and dried it and the pocket on the sleeve fell off. Very disappointed since that's the reason I bought it was to use the pocket for my cell phone when walking
My sleeve pocket started falling off too. Sent it back to Marmot-they are sending a replacement. It was covered by their warranty thankfully! My favorite fleece although I wish it had hand pockets, too.

Late last month, ahead of the release of their (sure to be colossal no matter what you think) Here and Now album, [artist id="760446″]Nickelback[/artist] premiered a pair of singles — the pro-social "When We Stand Together" and the pro-party "Bottoms Up" — which seem to have only one thing in common: Nickelback wrote both of them.
After all, one's a positively massive power ballad with lyrics like "Hand in hand forever/ That's when we all win," and the other is, well, basically about drinking every substance under the sun, a list that includes, but is not limited to: Jim Beam, Jack Daniel's, Black-Tooth Grins — Dimebag certainly would've approved — and, of course, "straight gasoline." You can probably guess which is which.
But if you think "Stand Together" and "Bottoms Up" represent a Nickelback veering in two wildly dissimilar directions, well, just wait until you hear the rest of Here and Now, as the band told MTV News earlier this week.
"I mean, it's not Dark Side of the Moon or The Wall or something; it doesn't have this theme. It's more all over the map than those two [songs], for sure," frontman Chad Kroeger explained. "Because, when you play a Nickelback show, I mean, there is every range of person that you could possibly imagine on the face of the earth [in the audience], and you couldn't peg one on the street to save your life. I think we can all pick out a Slipknot fan, but it's tough to pick out a Nickelback fan, because they're all so different."
And that was the challenge presented to the band on Now, which contains a whole lot of party-ready chuggers, plus a couple more, uh, conscious tunes, too. But though you'd think penning songs about global suffering would be tough for Kroeger and Co., well, you'd be wrong. Because, quite frankly, it's writing the hard-charging, harder-drinking numbers that keeps the band up at night. After all, partying is something they take pretty seriously over at Nickelback H.Q.
"It's a drinking anthem. I mean, it's harder to write those songs than it is to write those social-awareness type songs, it really is," Kroeger admitted. "Because for us, they've got to be good. Some of the stuff's got to be a little tongue-in-cheek, there's got to be some clever stuff there, you know, and you've got to be descriptive. But when you get done listening to it, you need to have the feeling of just wanting to grab a bottle of Jack. And I think we got there, because we'd bring friends over all the time and it was just like, 'You are now a test subject! Hit play; turn it up nice and loud.' And the song's over and they'd be like, 'I want to drink. I want to drink something right now.' And we were like 'Yes!' "

Sebastian Vettel's late charge could not yield a podium finish as the Red Bull driver finished the Canadian Grand Prix in 4th position. Mark Webber winner of the last race in Monaco was 7th after a complicated afternoon where he was stuck behind a train of cars for a majority of the race. The result drops the Red Bull duo in the Drivers' standings to 3rd and 4th places, with Vettel just 3 points off leader Lewis Hamilton with 85 points, and Webber not far behind with 79 points.
Sebastian Vettel cast aside talks of an illegal floor on his Red Bull, and looked serene in his progress to claim pole position on Saturday. The German ace said this week that he had learnt a few tricks on managing his tyres better and that it helped him to extract maximum performance over the race weekend. His teammate Mark Webber was baffled with the lack of his pace in his Red Bull as he was six-tenths down on Vettel after Q3 to start from 4th place on the grid. The Red Bull team hoped to make it two wins on the run after Webber drove a controlled race in Monaco to claim victory.
As the race began, pole sitter Vettel got away cleanly to lead the pack heading into the first corner. Webber began the race on the soft tyres as he held onto his 4thplace. Vettel controlled proceedings up until the first round of pit stops as the Red Bull team was forced to pit Vettel ahead of schedule as both Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso were closing right on the back of his car. Vettel was the biggest loser after the pit stops as he was jumped by both Hamilton and Alonso to drop back into 3rd place. Webber had Kimi Raikkonen and Sergio Perez right in front of him with both drivers yet to make a pit stop and seemingly on a one stopper in the race.
Webber regained 4th place after the pit stops panned out, but was a huge 11 seconds behind teammate Vettel, who was running in a strong 3rd place. Vettel and Red Bull blew their hopes of a podium finish by pitting Vettel 6 laps from the end of the race. There was a huge scare with 5 laps remaining as Vettel brushed the Wall of Champions but kept his composure and regained control to live to fight another lap. Vettel went past the struggling Alonso whose tyres had outlived its life to jump into 4th place, but despite being the fastest man on track, the reigning champion simply ran out of laps in the end as Red Bull had one of those days when they got their strategy horribly wrong. Webber finished the race in 7th place behind the Mercedes of Nico Rosberg.
Christian Honer, Team Principal: "A tricky race. Having been in the lead at the start, it was obvious early on that we were a little bit harder on the tyres, which necessitated Sebastian to pit earlier than we wanted. That permitted Hamilton and Alonso to get the jump on us. Then there was a dilemma as to whether we do a one or two stop race. We were going well on the tyres and at that stage it seemed our best option was to do a one stop. But then the tyres really started to go away from us, so we made a late call to go on to the super soft tyres, which enabled us to get back up to fourth position, behind the one-stopping Grosjean and Perez. With Mark, again we were running okay early on. He had an engine hesitation in the first few laps, but then he settled into a good rhythm. Again we were heavy on the tyres towards the end of the stints and it was clearer with Mark to go to a two stop earlier, but unfortunately the one stoppers managed to get ahead. So, a tactical race, a tricky race, but nonetheless we have still managed to salvage respectable points today.â€
Vettel: "It was a difficult race today. We found ourselves in third place, quite far away from Lewis. He decided to box again, but Fernando and I took the decision to stay out. I felt pretty comfortable on the tyres and obviously we were hoping to get the place back, but as it turned out it was the right thing to go for the second stop. We decided a few laps from the end to do a pit stop – a stop here is not so long, about 15 seconds – and in the end it was the right decision. Before the stop we were three four seconds behind Fernando, but we ended up six seconds ahead of him. It was a good call considering what you can lose with only eight laps to go. It's easy now to analyse and know everything, but I think we learned a lot today and we've seen that races can be interesting until the very last lap. All in all it was a good weekend. We had a very smooth run up to qualifying and a very good qualifying – in the race we maybe lost some of that edge, but we were there or thereabouts. We have another winner today also, I think Lewis deserved to win today, no doubt, but we have learned more and will make step forward in Valencia.â€
Webber: "I knew it was going to be mixed up today, but not that mixed up. In the first ten laps, we had a small issue with the engine which we had to manage, but then I settled into the pace. We pitted and came out behind the one stoppers. It's hard to get it right here – if you push to try and pass you kill the tyres but if you wait, then you find you're on the same strategy and finish behind them anyway. I think ultimately we were quick at times today and it's good that we finished in the points. With hindsight we could have done a different strategy, but it's easy to say that now and I've had worst days than today.â€

What was missing in virtually all of the media tributes on the death of Eunice Kennedy Shriver is that she was a pro-life activist. LifeNews gives the rest of the story:
Although other members of the Kennedy family abandoned their pro-life beliefs as their political stock rose, Eunice Kennedy Shriver never did. And for that, pro-life advocates are mourning the passing of the woman who founded Special Olympics.
Shriver died this morning [August 11] at the age of 88 surrounded by her family and she is survived by her husband Sargent Shriver, a former Vice Presidential nominee.
Together the Shrivers had five children and twenty-one grandchildren.
Shriver, a lifelong pro-life Democrat, was the sister of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert Kennedy, and Senator Edward Kennedy. . . .
Shriver was a mamber of the advisory committee of the Susan B. Anthony List, a women's group dedicated to electing pro-life women to Congress.
In 1992, Eunice and Sargent Shriver joined Pennsylvania Governor Bob Casey many other influential pro-life leaders in signing a full-page ad in the New York Times protesting the Democratic Party's embrace of the pro-abortion agenda.
This raises again the question, as we thank God for the life and work of Mrs. Shriver, why are the Democratic party and liberals in general so wedded to being pro-abortion? Or, to use their language "pro-choice"? They aren't particularly pro-choice or libertarian in other areas. They claim to be for the poor, the disadvantaged, the discriminated against, the little-guy. So how to explain their instance that the most vulnerable lives of all should have no protection and should be forfeit at the choice of the one who has power over them? How does that fit in with their professed ideology?
As Mrs. Shriver shows, it was not always this way with Democrats and political liberals. That it is today–with a few exceptions including some of the readers of this blog, whose pro-life convictions, however, have little influence in the Democratic party–shows why I cannot take seriously all of their altruistic rhetoric, including what we are hearing in the health care debate. A philosophy of medicine and health "care" that has no problem with abortion is not one that should be given the authority and the power to determine how medicine will be practiced for all Americans.
HT: Terry Mattingly. (Click the link for his coverage of the media treatments that left out Mrs. Shriver's pro-life activism.)

CHICAGO (AP) -- Dave Trembley couldn't do much about this interruption.
A night after the Baltimore manager saw two fans run onto the field behind outfielder Jay Payton, the Orioles' game at the Chicago White Sox was washed out by rain in the bottom of the first inning.
Before the abbreviated game got going, Trembley made his feelings known about the fans' disruption the night before.
"I would have beaten the snot out of both of them," Trembley said.
He's got other worries now after a whirlwind 24 hours.
The White Sox will start left-hander John Danks in the first game at noon against lefty Brian Burres, who was the scheduled starter on Friday. In the second game, Nick Masset will start for the White Sox against Steve Trachsel for the Orioles at 6 p.m.
Mark Buehrle was pushed back to Monday after throwing six pitches in the first inning.
"We're treating today like a sideline for Buehrle," pitching coach Don Cooper said. "Nothing screws up Buehrle. He rolls with whatever comes his way, always has, and he will do the same here and probably pitch a very good ballgame on Monday."
Trembley and the Orioles had a wild night on Thursday. They rallied from a 5-0 deficit to beat the Seattle Mariners 8-7, but top prospect Adam Loewen lasted only 2 2/3 innings and was complaining of soreness in his left forearm afterward.
After the game, he was placed on the 15-day DL and sent back to Baltimore for examination.
"I'm not speaking for him, but I think he's probably to the point where he is real frustrated," Trembley said. "He worked hard in the winter, the guy is competitive, but he wasn't getting the results. I try to tell him repeatedly that he'd have to be careful with his expectations. He missed an entire season and it's not going to come all at once."
Loewen is 0-1 with a 7.85 ERA in four starts this season. Trembley is unsure who will take Loewen's spot in the rotation.
"We have until Tuesday. There are a couple of possibilities. One is going to Triple-A and one is starting a guy out of the bullpen here," Trembley said. "If we call a guy up from Triple-A I would hope that it wouldn't be just for one time and we'd give that guy the opportunity."
The Orioles flew through the night to Chicago, arriving at 6:30 in the morning after a turbulent flight through the weather that scrubbed their Friday night game.

If so, what kind? And why?
I wear a snowboarding helmet. I mountain bike and ride a road bike in the city.
Bell Aquilla. Why? Because I can't afford to live the life that I want with a TBI.
I wear a bicycling helmet.
this is the ssfg forum fyi.
and yes. i wear a snowboarding helmet when i snowboard and i wear a cycling helmet when i cycle.
yes. giro ionos.
I have 2 Bell Sweep R. A red and a blue to match different jerseys.
I only wear them on my road bike. I almost never wear one during the week on my fixed. It's only a 15 mile round trip to work.
No, but I probably should.
no bro caps kirk cycles or a sachs cap or my old keith herring cap with a cyclist on it
I didn't wear one today. Kind of liberating, yet unsafe.
yes, I wear a helmet. I had a bad accident a few years back and if I had landed a few inches differently I'm sure I would have cracked my skull open and spit brain all over the street. If cars are involved in my ride, I always wear a helmet. I think it's stupid not to wear one, honestly. Too many cyclists have died my city just this past year that probably could have survived if they just got over their hang-ups and put a damn helmet on.
Yes, always, no matter what the distance.
Not wearing a helmet makes me more aware of my surroundings. I find myself anticipating the hardness of concrete 50 or 100 feet in front of me, it's almost a zen-like connection between my face and the pavement.
search function
Sometimes I let the wind fly through my hair for the 3 blocks to the post office in a residential (yet city) neighborhood.
If I go further, I always put one on.
i dont always but when i do i have a cheap bell solar taht works pretty well
I always wear one - whenever I'm riding more than a few metres really. Only rare times when I'm testing something briefly or just feel like trackstanding in my drive, then I'll just put a cap on.
yup. A bell xray

Hi all, going to get back into riding after a 12 year lay off. When I was riding I was doing 100+ a week, riding 5 days a week. Then life got to busy and the riding stopped. Well I'm turning 51 next week and it's time to get back into some kind of training. Just started the training last month on a treadmill, and pulled my old mnt. bike out of cobwebs. Turns out my bike needs work, and I sold my road bike with plans of upgrading, but I never did. Right now I'm looking for a hybrid with the flat bars. and ride that for a year and then move back into road bikes. I've been looking at the trek 7.5 FX and the Sirrus elite. I was wondering what you all thing, since I've been out of the loop for a few years I've lost track of what is good and what is better.
My work hrs limit when I can ride. There is a paved bike trail behind where I work, and I was thinking of doing a lunch hr ride everyday. At home there are plenty of bike trails to choose from so I can do longer rides.
Thanks in advance

i just couldn't do it.
the storm has passed, leaving chicago without even a dusting of snow on the ground (all hype once again), but the marine forecast was still calling for 40 knot winds this morning along the lakefront, gusting to 50 knots (55 mph!), straight out of the NW (my 11 o'clock for the ride in). i can do the rain, the snow, the sleet, the ice, the what-have you, hell i can even appreciate and enjoy that stuff, but egregiously strong headwinds like that just sap all of my enthusiasm, to say nothing of making me really, really late for work. punctuality can be hard to maintain when you're struggling to chug along at 5 mph (i've got a ~15 mile one-way commute).
so, Metra commuter rail to the rescue for the chicken's way out....... I am not a man....... < head held properly in shame >.......
on the bright side, winds are forecast to stay steady and strong out of the NW, so it could be a really fast and fun ride home tonight!

Baked Pork Chops with Apple Slices Recipe
A friend who raises pork shared this recipe with me. The lightly breaded chops with simple glazed apples on the side make a mouthwatering meal.
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 6 bone-in pork loin chops (1-1/2 inches thick and 8 ounces each)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 jar (12 ounces) currant jelly
- 3 to 4 medium tart apples, thinly sliced
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper. Coat pork chops. Place in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Add water to pan. Bake, uncovered, 1 hour or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let stand 5 minutes.
- 2. In a large skillet, melt the jelly. Add apples. Cook over low heat 5-7 minutes or until apples are tender, turning occasionally. Serve with pork chops. Yield: 6 servings.
