Academic etiquette advice for this special snowflake.
I graduated last spring with a humanities BA, I moved back to Canada the summer following and got in touch with local uni. faculty, looking to gain a little research experience. This led to me doing a little data-crunching for a faculty member, but fizzled out rather quickly as other commitments got in the way. Would it be inappropriate to contact her again? Not sure exactly how to approach this because I feel I more or less messed up by not being proactive enough the first time around. [more inside]
reporter+academia: is the best of both worlds possible?
After finishing my dissertation, I successfully applied to become a reporter at a newspaper. I'm liking the work as well as the flexibility and connectedness that allows me to apply what I researched (political theory/discourse analysis) in my writing--I'm wondering how I can better conceptualize my future career path. (Details within) [more inside]
Feeling ambivilant about my PhD program. Should I apply for this job?
I'm finishing up the second year of my PhD program. This is a particularly stressful time in the program--I'm finishing my coursework and should be ABD in a couple of months. I am planning on making a decision at the end of next month whether or not I want to keep on. But I just found out about a great job opportunity with a nonprofit organization I like and have a relationship with and I am really really qualified for. So now I'm wondering...would it hurt to apply? [more inside]

Coping with email anxiety
I have severe email anxiety and it is having repercussions for my work. I'm not sure what to do. [more inside]
I'm happy -- what's your problem?
I'm ending a postdoc, and accepted an academic job that I'm excited about, with the bonus that it's located in the same city as my spouse. It wasn't my first choice, but was high on my list. Sadly, my colleagues are not reacting positively -- the most common comments are "well, at least you get to move to [spouse's city]!" and "it could be worse!". I'm bewildered and hurt, since it's not a bad job in any sense. How do I react to such comments to explain that I am happy about it, and that it's a good option for me, without sounding defensive? [more inside]
How do I talk to authority figures?
I have difficulty interacting comfortably with people I see as authority figures, like professors and senior figures in the legal profession. (My job requires me to do both pretty often - I'm a junior academic and my research involves talking to judges and lawyers). I sometimes get the sense I make them feel uncomfortable by being awkward/ overly deferential / stammering etc and, more often, even when an interaction seems to have gone smoothly, I'm deeply uncomfortable and anxious myself. What do I do to get over this? [more inside]

What do you call this academic writing style and should it be avoided?
What would you call this style of writing in which terms are introduced in a flurry of comma separated uses, synonyms or phrasal bits, other languages etc. I associate it mostly with continental academic writing but it may have broader uses. Is it ok to write like this in essays for an MA in Continental Philosophy? [more inside]
Commuting to an academic job -- terrible idea?

How to back out of doing something that you already agreed to do?
I have been working as a postdoc for a year. I have never written a grant in my life and when one of my bosses came to me with a project in mind, I naively offered to write it. It's now 2 weeks till the deadline and I don't even know how to start. [more inside]
What next for a biochemistry / physiology PhD?
I'm a couple years off finishing a PhD that's been about half biochemistry and half electrophysiology at a top-ranked Australian university. The academic career path is definitely open to me - I've got a decent number of publications, heaps of teaching experience, blah blah blah - but I'm unsure that it's what I want to pursue.

Deciding between two library jobs
I have to choose between two librarian positions soon, and could use others' advice and experience. I have been an academic librarian for a number of years, married to an academic, and we have both received offers from the same two universities. This is great, because we get to finally live together full-time. But, the two librarian jobs and universities are quite different. [more inside]
Severe depression and self-doubt about intelligence and people?
I have been experiencing terrible bouts of depression and anxiety for the past four months or so now. I also have turbulent mood swings, ranging from being content in the morning, and scornfully miserable in the afternoon. I'm not certain what is causing all of this. I'm not an emotionally stable person; always unhappy and anxious. I have lost all desire to fulfill my hobbies, which includes: writing, reading, watching documentaries, deep conversations, watching old films, debating, poetry, social activism, and learning knowledge in general. I do not think I'm intellectual or socially exciting enough, therefore I have abandoned all of my hobbies. [more inside]

Not intelligent enough to become a social researcher?
Lately, I have seem to have doubts about my intelligence; particularly with the notion of becoming a social researcher. I have always wanted to explore the field of social research. I have a penchant for learning new knowledge and theories; my curiosity never seems to wane. However, I have little confidence that I'm able to obtain a Master's Degree in Critical Sociology. I need to build my confidence and reassure myself that I have the capability, passion, devotion, and worth ethic to learn and strive towards this career goal. I would be most appreciated for some scope of advice, tips, and encouragement. [more inside]

Dear prof, you're the only helpful member of my committee. Please leave.
I'm in my mumble year of grad school in a humanities field and will at long last be filing my dissertation this semester. I don't want to stay in academia, so I don't care how good or bad the thesis is; it just needs to be good enough to file. My advisor and two other committee members will probably sign off on anything. The fourth member is the problem. She's helpful, conscientious and would be likely to have lots of good suggestions for improvement. I want her off my committee. [more inside]
Reputation in an academic department – should I stay or should I go?
When I was an undergrad, I took a class with a high-profile professor, had a bit of a personal crisis, and handled relations with him poorly. I'm now hoping to do my doctorate in the same department. Do I have a chance of forging a good academic career there, or should I move on? [more inside]
Can an introvert fake charisma on stage?
I'm an introvert, and have made peace with that. Over the years, I've gotten much better at relaxing around people, but if I have to be honest with myself, I completely lack charisma. I'm in academia, which requires a lot of people-time: teaching, giving talks, and networking. How do I practice becoming a more engaging speaker? [more inside]

Group paper and questions about plagiarism...
I just submitted a group paper. Hours before I ran it through a plagiarism checker, turns out two (!) of the group members had directly copy and pasted sentences from accademic articles into our paper. In total, no more than five sentences were plagiarized These sentences were cited but not quoted directly. I informed all group members who seemed unconcerned...Is this a big deal? Is it worth reporting? (Fwiw, I edited their work before submitting a final copy)
Conference proceedings or journal article?
I completed a paper for my second year review last spring, and I have a strong study that I've been re-writing as a journal article. However, I recently realized that a major conference in my field has a call for papers that very closely matches the content of the study. I don't think I could differentiate the paper enough to make two distinct submissions. Which is better given the details below? [more inside]

Online listings for academic education technology jobs in North America
A UK colleague, who has worked for about a decade at various management and director levels in the UK academic sector (Education technology projects and services) is starting to consider moving abroad, but continuing the same line of work. His contact network in the education/academic sector outside of the UK is weak, and he doesn't know where to start looking online for positions in USA or Canadian Universities, Colleges, and Education Technology services and businesses that serve academia. Which are the good websites, and online listings, for these kinds of positions?
I want to quit my PhD but I am faced with an ethical dilemma.
I have just started the second year of my PhD in History (fully funded), and I want to quit because I don't enjoy it and it is making me miserable. However, my supervisor feels I am responsible for finishing the project, or at the very least I should stay for another year and publish two more articles. I don't think I have any legal obligations to stay / generate any more output, but do I have a moral obligation? [more inside]
PhD application references--whom to ask?
I'm in the process of applying to a few history PhD programs. My problem is deciding who I should ask to write references. The programs, naturally, would prefer academic references.

Need help brainstorming/planning transitions to a postacademic career
Yep, sorry, another "I quit my humanities PhD and I have no idea how the real world works" thread. Except I haven't actually quit yet; this is more like advance research. It's seeming increasingly likely that I may have to leave ABD for the sake of my mental health, so I'm looking for input on how to manage the early stages of a transition to a career (ideally arts-related) where I'll have little relevant background. This post is also an early step in my effort to encourage more constructive coping behaviors after fairly serious depression. [more inside]

Video games about universities and academic life
I'm looking for example of digital or video games - either online, free, commercial, or bought from a shop, on a PC, mac or games console - which simulate the experience of being a student, academic, lecturer or professor from an academic, social, or economic perspective. For example, the Sims 3 University Life expansion pack gives a (relatively shallow) social perspective on academic life as a student. Are there any others, especially ones with more depth or accuracy?

Arts/Humanities salaries at MIT?
This is a long shot, but I am up for a position as an assistant professor at MIT (in an arts/humanities department), and I'm wondering if the salaries are similar to the other assistant professor salaries at MIT (average is 120K) or if they are paid much less, as at many other universities. Thanks!

I just need to *sound* smart

Skip to comments.Study: 47% of US jobs could be automated in the next 20 years (The rise of Artificial Intelligence)
Posted on 09/29/2013 7:01:22 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
The authors of this study - two academics from Oxford - aren't saying that we will definitely lose 47% of current jobs to automation. They are saying its possible as artificial intelligence - AI - becomes reality.
From Slate:
In "The Future of Employment: How Susceptible Are Jobs to Computerisation?," Frey and Osborne estimate that 47 percent of U.S. jobs are "at risk" of being automated in the next 20 years. This does not mean that they necessarily will be automated (despite the way the study has been portrayed in some media outlets)--rather, the authors argue, it is plausible over the next two decades that existing and foreseeable AI technologies could be used to cost-effectively automate those jobs out of existence. Machines may not (and probably won't) do the jobs the same way as people, however--just remember the last time you used an automated check-out system at a grocery store. There's a difference between machines doing something cheaply and doing it well. Frey and Osborne took into account the possibility of such "task simplification" in their analysis.
Which jobs are most at risk? According to The Jetsons, we should expect robots to clean our houses and do other working-class occupations that educated elites have historically looked down upon as "unskilled." But anyone who has done such a job, or has watched an episode of Undercover Boss and seen highly-paid CEOs fumble while trying to carry out the demanding minimum wage jobs usually performed by their underlings, knows that there is no such thing as unskilled labor anymore (if there ever was), especially if you are comparing humans and machines in the same breath. The gap between humans and current AI is vastly greater than the differences between humans.
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
I read the article. Not much content there. :(
Bring back US jobs now.
I often use the automated check-out in stores. They're great. But the automated check-out machines, while great, need a employee to hover around helping people with machines that malfunction or aid customers who don't know how to operate them. Every time a new machine or technology is created, humans are needed to build and maintain those machines. So some jobs are lost through machines, but others are created. It's called creative destruction after economist Joseph Schumpeter.
Well, according to king hussein we've already gotten rid of bank tellers and travel agents due to their jobs being "robotized". Huh? What an idiot. And, don't forget. GWB was the stupid one.
Much of my job as an engineer was boringly repetitive. I thought of ways to automate it using the existing software. Assembling data, reports etc. became easier and easier. If the company I worked for had made a purposeful effort the work load across the board would have dropped 30% with just a one time cost for programs inside platforms like Excel, which can look in a half dozen different databases and assemble a report and draw charts. It would take only a quick check and edit. But the company would rather bill every possible hour. I was told, "Are you crazy? Our profit is a percentage of costs. Besides, do you want to lose your job?"
Incidentally, they've laid off half of their workforce to date and will lay off half of the remainder sometime after Q1 next year. That's about 7,000 people total.
Does that mean that New York can get rid of all those Muslim cab drivers then and ship them back to sh!tholeistan?
First, a large unskilled population is not an asset but a liability. To those conservatives and liberals who want to flood the country with unskilled immigrants in order to prop up Social Security, consider that these people will not contribute but will subtract from the gross domestic product.
Second, Ponzi schemes such as Social Security which depend on an ever-increasing base of wage earners for the pyramid to continue are in for real trouble if lower-class workers are replaced with machines.
Third, if humans can be replaced by computers in the private and domestic sphere they can be replaced at a wholesale level among the military forces. Increasingly large populations will not be the foundation upon which mighty defense forces are erected. Strong economies will remain indispensable to strong defense but those economies will be digital economies. Conservatives believe that we have to increase the population to stay strong are only courting weakness. In the future large population centers will not be so much an asset but targets.
Fourth, to the degree that we parcel out healthcare in this country based on employment status, that will have to be changed. I am not suggesting a single-payer system but I am suggesting that employers will look at computerizing their jobs because computers don't get sick and they don't get sick leave, pregnancy leave, or require ever-increasing medical insurance payments. Moreover, the government is much less inclined to regulate business to protect machines.
Fifth, income taxes are at least partially Texas on wages but wages might be decreasingly how wealth is accumulated in the future as machines take over more and more of production. The challenge for conservatives will be to find a way to fund the government by taxing the output of machines without introducing socialism, without confiscating property and without creating disincentives to computerize and produce.
Sixth, education will have to be radically reformed in order to create a workforce which can create and program the machines used to produce widgets and provide services. Much like our Social Security system and our healthcare system which are based on wage earning, our educational system used to be based on wage earning and now is based on social engineering. Both models will have to be abandoned and education will have to be demonstrably related to producing talent which is usable. This is primarily a political problem.
Seventh, as the world becomes increasingly technological a higher and higher percentage of the population will reveal themselves to be incapable of contributing. They will prove an increasing drag on the economy and they will be exploited by demagogues who will attempt to prohibit businesses from hiring only people with talent enough to contribute. Race will be invoked. Somehow this must be solved.
We should start with the collection, editing and dissemination of news.
Think how different the news would be without the subjectivity of humans, specifically liberal /progressive humans.
Most people are robots anyway so this shouldn't matter much.
They need to come up with the AI part before they can do the robotics..
But with just that AI part, they could do:
47% of the lawyers
47% of the doctors
47% of the Senators
and, of course,
90% of the smart-asses...
Prolly should read 15% of the smart-asses, because most of the ones I know are way, way, way smarter than doctors or lawyers or Senators!!
Nothing new. What is that statistic? A hundred years ago 90% of Americans raised food, now, 1%? That's a lot of automation. One major occupation a hundred years ago was "calculator". That of course is gone. Typesetters, typists, proofreaders, draftsmen, elevator operators, traffic control cops (in some countries signal lights are called "robots"), etc.
I'm expecting to see fast food jump into automation very soon. The local "Wawa" stores have kiosks for customers to make orders at the deli counter — even things like rolls. There is no human contact. The next step is replacing the sandwich assemblers with "Baxter". It will happen fast, and there will be "labor" issues — lots of strikes and riots.
Soon the carbon based interface units will be declared redundant — and will have to be deactivated.
I flat out refuse to use the auto-teller, as there is no discount for using it.
Charge less for using it, I'll consider it, but why should I pay the same price to do a job that is included in the price of my goods?
Then there is the human interaction of chatting with the cashier, and the folks in line.
The same issues were touched upon in other sci-fi classics such as Orwell's "1984" and Huxley's "Brave New World".Orwell culled the world through constant wars between superpowers and an all powerful police state. Huxley relied on eugenics: test tube breeding and stunting of intellect so that the lower classes would be content with their limited existences.
To date, no one seems to have thought about the three choices or paths humanity must face: 1) say that we have invented all there is to invent and know all there is to know [freeze all development and progress]; 2) junk technology and go back to a more primitive time [the Luddite ideal]; 3) pursue technology full throttle and accept the costs on society this technology brings for good or ill.
In the first instance, freezing development, humans are driven to find better ways and invent new things. This enforced stagnation cannot work for any length of time.
In the second case, the Luddite society, people are too attached to the ease that technology has brought them. Even the Greenies don't want to give up their electric lights, smart phones, iPads, grocery stores, central air and heating, running water, and indoor plumbing. Very few of them would relish living in a cave, wearing animal skins, hunting and gathering, fighting off other tribes, and thinking of 40 years old as "ancient".
No, the third option is what humanity has embraced — technology — and we cannot go back to either of the first two scenarios. However, technology is a two edged sword. The more technological your society becomes, the less able it is to cope when the technology breaks. A simple example: a tornado devastates an area and wipes out the phone lines and electric lines. People are then forced into living in the 19th century; they'll do anything to get communications and power back to "normal".
The nature of society and its jobs must change due to the impact of increasing technology.
So far, our current system is NOT able to make this basic transition.
I agree, the article missed several really important features of the coming of "AI". IBM has a project that will bring a connection based electronic equivalent (in terms of connection ability) of a brain the size of a two liter bottle of pop. It will burn about 1.5 KW of energy so it could be plugged into a household outlet. IBMs view on the cognitive part...
Noting what Watson on Jeopardy! did and what it is being prepped for.
I think, when you combine this with some of the DARPA like projects, Big Dog, some of the powered armor, artificial feeling materials for robotic hands, and some of the perceptual recognition programs this article was not very rigorous. Assisted driving is currently on Mercedes menu. Google has self driving vehicles...as a job skill...when driving is lost as a marketable skill, how many people will not be able to get a "fast food" job?
The economics determine the use of robotics in the workplace. Labor at $9/hour may work at McDs but if the labor goes to $15/hour then a robot may all of a sudden become a viable economic alternative. When the robotic alternative drops below $9/hour...and that has to take into account all customer interactions good and bad. We are in the technology and don't see the changes unless we look to the forgotten past. Lucy on the assembly line in "I love Lucy" isn't really part of the current generation's experience. Those jobs are leaving or gone. And they are certainly out of sight. My garbage truck uses a robot arm to dump the can into the truck. No one injures their back anymore, but anyone can be trained to do it...even a computer...soon. See google.
The author would never work for Wired.
Cars will drive themselves. Soo you tweet your destination and pay the taxi by paypal.
True, and in the past it's always worked, in general, that the jobs lost were replaced by on average better jobs.
Unfortunately, past performance is no guarantee of future performance.
Most of the new jobs created by automation are quite literally beyond the capabilities of those laid off from the old jobs. As an example, it is likely most jobs based on driving vehicles will disappear relatively soon as vehicles drive themselves.
How many truck drivers can be effectively retrained to write apps for the iPad? Not many.
I cannot prove it, but I suspect our economy will become more and more productive at producing "stuff," but each year fewer people will be required or capable of doing the work that is still in demand.
People generally forget that 50% of the population is of below-average intelligence, and each year I believe there will be reduced demand in the market for workers of below-average intelligence.
But I hope I'm wrong.
As surely as businesses can use technology to reduce the need for man hours of effort, people can too. That's why my lawn guy can cut the lawn way faster than I can. He's got better tools than I do - a larger tractor, better mowers, and an air blower instead of a rake. And he knows how to use them very well.
The same is true for many other types of work. It used to be only businesses could afford to own computers, and hired employees to operate them. Now kids own computers and bring their own wordprocessor, spreadsheet, etc. to work.
Soon after robots are available to do complicated tasks in business, individuals will have similar robots. And then they may well send their personal robot in to the shop to work for them on Mondays and Fridays.
All of your points about future trends apply as well to individuals taking advantage of the same technology to empower themselves. We are seeing a bit of that now with how people use smart phones and internet resources to benefit themselves and enable new ways of working. But we need to see a lot of changes in education, taxation, government, and the nature of employment to take advantage of what technology has to offer.
All good points.
But I'd like to reiterate that the crucial issue is that more and more people of lower intelligence will be redundant to the real market.
The challenge is how to provide meaningful lives for people for whom there is no economic role. Past and present examples of societies with this issue (see Indian reservations, etc.) are not reason for comfort.
IMO there is a distinct possibility that capitalism and the free market, with its creative destruction, will eventually creatively destroy itself. Capitalism has had a hell of a run, 300 years or more now, depending on how you define it.
But functioning of markets is not a law of nature, it's a law of human nature. And if the parameters within which the market must function change sufficiently, the market system may break down. At least insofar as its ability to provide for human needs other than material.
The more mandates and taxes they load onto employers the more that automation will become the better choice.
Maybe, maybe not. But as jobs become more intelligence-based, persons who cannot adapt disappear. At any rate, that is what happened in the past. Many people today who lack the mental or physical resources are kept alive by the state. Is that what we're headed towards? A society that relies on 50% to produce because the other 50% can't? Time will tell.
There is always the trade-off of time and money. If I see the clerk lanes are clogged, I immediately go the auto-teller. Plus, according to my wife who used to work at Walmart, they deliberately underman the human clerk lanes and force you to use the auto-teller. Plus, the company keeps prices lower because of lack of theft from auto-tellers who don't steal merchandise.
Or they will substitute intelligence provided by technology for what they lack. Just like drivers who aren't good at spatial logic and map reading use GPS devices to get them to their destination, or most of us use spell checking software to reduce our need to remember how to spell infrequently used words, or tax software to figure out our taxes.
A lot of jobs that are considered "unskilled" actually have gotten easier over time with automation and technology. The mistake many in our government and pundit class make is assuming that the future job is, for example, writing software.
The challenge is how to provide meaningful lives for people for whom there is no economic role. Past and present examples of societies with this issue (see Indian reservations, etc.) are not reason for comfort.
The example you cited, Indian reservations, is indicative of what can happen when a social structure changes rapidly and the culture fails to respond, or responds in a dysfunctional way. Other examples of cultures facing similar dysfunction and challenges exist, including groups that are highly dependent on government in inner cities, refugee camps, etc.
But there are other contrary examples as well. Many primitive cultures existed in stable equilibrium for long periods of time due to a surplus of resources. In the particular situations they had most people were able to get by with limited work, and the structure of the society was able to support everyone.
Technology and increased productivity may well have similar effects in a more modern society. If automation reduces the cost of goods enough, then those who are unable to generate much themselves are still able to live a meaningful life. Put more bluntly, if productivity increases enough, then even a lazy bum will be able to afford more luxury than we have today. Just like the poor American of today has more stuff, better healthcare, and a much easier life than most Americans did 100 years ago.
The problem is not the impact of improved productivity, so much as the burden of short term thinking and a governmental and pundit class pushing the ideas of dependency on people, and blocking market opportunities.
So the 47% Romney talked about could be replaced? Serves them right I guess. :-)
That's the standard conservative POV, and I agree it has been proven true many times over the last few centuries.
But my concern is that what has worked over the last few centuries may be approaching its end.
IOW, AI may change the very rules of the game. People who are smart, driven and creative will have a great deal of demand for their services for the foreseeable future.
But I worry that those who lack one or more of the above will be SOOL. Most people just want to have a not-too-demanding job and earn a decent living without being driven or creative. Those types of jobs may be in the process of permanently disappearing.
Labor saving machinery may cause unemployment of some temporarily, but the productivity of labor of the economy as a whole will be increased,which benefits all wage earners in the long run after a period of adjustment.The increase in the productivity of labor raises the real wage rates of the average wage earner by increasing the total productive ability of the economy as a whole, which leads to an increased supply, which leads to lower prices and more buying power of consumers.
Fragile. Very fragile. There are a few who have purchased some automation with the help of government and banks, but most of them are in debt that won't be paid. Most of the people saying that they're replacing men with machines (while importing more products from the Asian and other Flintstones instead) won't be able to take care of themselves.
The usual deal I see is one employee for four automated machines, however. If automation doesn't save some labor it often doesn't make sense.

This was a really nice soup and pleasantly different from what we're used to. Make sure to add enough vinegar to play off of the sweetness of the beets. I doubled the recipe so we could freeze some portions. This was good and it will continue to make a nice side with dinner or a quick lunch. I only wish I'd used more than two potatoes. I prefer it with no sour cream, just the horseradish on top. Thanks!
From EatingWell: January/February 2009
Borscht is a simple beet soup typically made with beef broth and garnished with sour cream. We give it a kick with horseradish. For a vegetarian soup, use vegetable broth instead.

I made this recipe last night and it was simply delicious. Quick, easy, healthy and so very tasty. I can't wait to make it again.

This is very good and healthy easy version of Borsch. The original version takes much longer to cook and has more fat in it, but tastes better I believe :) The original recipe also has tomatoes, carrots and cabbage in it. You add shredded cabbage at the very end and cook it for about 5 min and then let the borsch sit for 30 min or so before serving. And we also put real beef or pork in this "soup" and boil it for up to 1 hour before adding all the vegetables. We fry sliced carrots and onion and sliced beats first in the pan then add sliced tomatoes and their juices and fry together for about 20 min adding salt, lemon juice and sugar to taste. Then we add this mixtures to the main pot with boiling water, meat and potatoes and cook for another 10 min and then add cabbage and also sometimes parsley.

I found this quite simple to make and absolutely delicious! I think the beet and onion flavors are fantastic and the horseradish cream is a tasty compliment. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Ok, so I got this thing thinking it may have flaws based on some of the previous reviews (such as basket holes not lining up) but I find them all rediculously false. One has to read the instructions well to understand. It says so right there: alternatly screw in the basket screws..and they fit just fine. I guess if I were to complain about a frivolous detail it would have to be that the tires did not have enough air to blow up a balloon and I had to go to the gas station and spend $.50 more on air. Yeah, thats about it. Other than that the trike comes in one LARGE box, mostly assembled from the joint back all covered in protective cardboard tubes. All you have to do is stick on the front fork (with wheel already attached), drop in the seat and handle bars and screw on the pedals which are marked left pedal and right pedal so you don't spend eternity wondering why they don't screw in and cross threads them. I guess somone has been able to screw this up as it states such damage is not covered under warranty. The shifting mechanism is definately worth it if you are getting this for a senior citizen. Trust me, the extra money will be well spent. The low gear will be welcome as it makes pedaling a breeze and even more so when there is a breeze.
I was worried after reading several reviews, but my concerns were quelled as soon as the trike arrived. (Only 5 days later). There were some minor paint blemishes but these were under the undamaged protective packaging so must have happened at the factory. I did not experience the issue with the basket holes being misaligned and my tires have the red stripe rather than the whitewall. The assembly is fairly easy if you follow the instructions. The handlebars and seat post do need to be tightened quite a bit, but other than that, it is a solid bike. It rides nice and smooth once you get used to the awkward feeling of a trike. Turning takes some getting used to, but again this is because it is a trike and not because of anything wrong with the product. I had a speedometer to put on the bike and easily reach 20 mph using the gears. The shifter itself feels a little cheap and doesn't seem to provide much tactile feedback as to what gear it is in or that it has changed from one to the other. I may replace this piece at some point. The seat is very comfy. I plan on using this trike quite a lot, (30 miles a day) so I will provide an additional review after a month or so to see how it has held up. Over all, I am completely satisfied with this trike and would highly recommend it to anyone.
I was at the delivery truck when the door opened to deliver my Worksman Trifecta. Immediately apparent was that the box it came in was standing on its end even though orientation arrows were plainly and boldly marked on the box. I only pre-empt with this note because it was obviously the reason for one of my problems. On opening of the box, marks on the inside indicated it was also laying on it side as well as upside down. After removal of the unit, the first action was to unfold the frame and secure the locking latch. The unfold went fine but the locking pin was misaligned (remember the box was standing on its end) with the mechanism by about 2mm. Other problems noted were: several scuff marks on the painted area of the frame, basket alignment do to a misaligned mounting strip, red reflector light anti spin tabs interfered with the mounting plate welded to the basket and a critical componment that was loose and never should have left the factory that way. More on that later. And one of the wheels came miss-laced which I will leave alone for now (I will be changing to alloy rims)but I suspect it will lead to a spoke failure. Since I do have some mechanical and fabricating abilities, I elected to correct the problems and note it for a review rather than to contact the retailer or vendor for solutions. Here is what I did:
On the latch alignment, I took an appropriate sized drift and a 3# hammer and was able to re-align the mechanism so it operates correctly and smoothly. On the basket to frame alignment, one of the longitudinal wires of the basket blocked a critical elongated mounting hole so I cut off the intruding part (about 3mm) and resprayed the repair with liquid electrical tape of the same color. The red reflector was mounted by removing the tabs/studs with end snipers (I could have drilled a hole in the mounting plate to correct...)and then I was able to secure the reflector flush as intended. Based on other reviews about the basket being noisy while riding, I tie wrapped the basket at other points on the frame to prevent vibration...no movement, no noise. Now the most critical part! Check ALL screws, bolts, nuts for tightness. When checking, I found the following loose:
All three screws on the chain guard were loose, the shifter "stay" mount, the torque arm on the hub and the idle sprocket nuts also loose. The idle sprocket is mounted in an open slot which would allow it to fall completely off the trike and go AWOL from just being loose. If you loose this part, the entire drive train will become useless. To correct this, you can notch each tang and use tie wrap or safety wire across the open end...this will be enough to prevent the part from completely falling off the trike. For the price paid for the trike; $409.00 + tax and free shipping, if it just required basic assembly, I believe the price is reasonable. But their seems to remain some quality control issues at the manufacture level that still hasn't been addressed. Now for the ride. Very comfortable (tire pressure inflated to 42psi, maximum is 50psi)and stable. No indication of frame flex (rider is 135#)and the 3 speed
shifter shifts smoothly. The fold-ability is really limited to just the frame itself, not the handle bars and leaves about a 32" cube as advertised. It should fit easily in many smaller SUVs without folding but by removing the quick release handlebars and lowering the seat. The trike is a keeper for me but it is probably best to have it shipped to your local bike shop for assembly if you don't have the desire or ability to take on a project.
The Compact Deluxe Adult 3 Speed Folding Tricycle
is as advertised. It went together with positively no problems. I might have to purchase another one as my wife will not give it up. A detailed parts list and service manual would be helpfull. Things do break and it would be nice to know where to get your hands on replacement parts and to know recommended service procedures.
I have purchased the single speed Trifecta and the multiple speed Port-a-Trike from Walmart. The frames say that they are rated for 210 pounds but I suspect they will handle much more. The assembly instructions are kind of vague in places but other than that these tricycles work very well. If you leave them out in the rain even for a short peroid of time the rims will rust.
Great Bike for elderly or person with balance issues
My partner and I live in a 55 and over community, the perfect place to bike ride. I grew up riding a bike, she has not. I wanted to buy us bikes and when I mentioned it to her, I could see the fear in her eyes. I went online, saw the Trifecta and said... That's it! It came in a LARGE box, which made me a little nervous since I was the one who had to put it together. Well, that was easy! I went to the website and followed the video... Can't get any easier!!! So now we go out for a spin. At first she was petrified... But after just three nights of riding she is a pro! I love this trike! It's sturdy, easy to assemble and just FUN! I would recommend the Trifecta to anyone of any age. In fact several neighbors have commented on it and now want one too! Is it pricey? Yes, but well worth it. My partner now agrees... "Bike riding relaxes me". If you're thinking of hitting the open road and feel intimidated by the thought of a traditional two wheeler... Fear not-- the Trifecta is the bike for you!
I spent an afternoon assembling this trike and was very excited to ride it. I found that the holes in the basket hardware and the bike hardware did not line up. There was a customer care number so I called it and requested assistance. The man on the other line told me to just put the screws in where they did line up (one hole) and then just to put the other one through anywhere it did line up even though it wasn't attached to the bike itself on one side. Well when I went to move the trike into my car, the basket did not stay put. When I went to ride this trike, the chain kept slipping off. I also noticed that the fenders and chain guard were plastic and not metal as shown in the picture. It also felt small, like it was made for a much smaller person than me and I am only 5'2. I decided to return this because I had too many problems with it. Walmart took it back with no problems. I will order from Walmart again. I won't be getting this again. Maybe I'll try the Schwinn product.
Purchased this bike online and had it shipped to the store. The store person put it together for me at no charge. He had a lot of attention putting this one together. He also explained the brakes, gears and how to take apart for folding. EXCELLENT service from the whole get go.
Have had it for about 2 weeks now. It has been 35-40 years since I rode a bike. The first day I was wobbly with my front wheel turns. Today I am controlled and ride 2.4 miles a day after getting off work. Look forward to my riding. I recommend getting the 3 speed rather than 1 if you have not ridden a bike in a while. The gear changing is easy and not intimidating as a 10 speed I had when younger.
It is AMERICAN MADE!!! So it is worth the money! Thank you to whoever made this bike!
The basket is big enough that my Westie sit in it and enjoyed the ride too. Her extra weight helped shed a pound. Also love having both hand brake and foot brakes!
My wife wanted a portable trike. We added some special adaptions to shorten the cranks because of her difficulty bending her legs. This did work very well and she enjoys the bike as she has not been able to ride one in 40 years. The plastic fender is a bummer. The frame is sturdy and the paint looks great. The gear shifter is not all that and a piece of cake but does work.
The shifts are otherwise smooth and quick. The bike does fold but is a close fit in the hatch of my pontiac vibe....it does fit in the hatch with practice. The rims might be flawed. The pressure rating on the tires is rather high....45 psi....but one of the tires kept coming out of the rim and tpblowing a tube...simply keeping a lower pressure...35 pds or so did the trick. My wife is thrilled to be able to ride again. We enjoy getting out together...she rides and I run with her. Good trike for the money.
I am pleased with this American made tricycle. I love having the options for changing gears when riding up hills.
It also was fairly easy to put together. There is a video to help you available on
Go to Home/support then to Owners manuals PDF The second video down is Port-O-Tricycle Assembly.
I played/paused/put that step together then played again. It made putting this together very simple! There are also additional parts like front baskets, basket liners, fenders, lights etc... you can order direct from Worksman. When I ordered from Worksman I asked Worksman if this was the same model as what they sold, and she said yes. Walmart can sell them cheaper because of volume but it the same tricycle. We use Worksman at my work and they are built to last. Nice to find this great price for the quality!
The trike arrived without a bike chain. I called Worksman and asked for a bike chain from them, but a week later it hasn't arrived. After spending $430.00+tax, I shelled out another 11 bucks for a chain. Couldn't figure out how to put the chain on myself, so I took it to a bike shop. Another 20 bucks to the bike shop, and they realize that part of the assembly for the chain is missing, too. I call Worksman, and though the part is listed on the PDF parts list, they say they don't use it anymore. SOMETHING is missing that gives the chain tension and no one at Worksman can figure it out. Long story short, I've had my trike 8 days, Spring has sprung, and I'm still a good two weeks and $40 before I see any riding time. Not at all impressed with my trike. (Oh, and the thing another reviewer said about holes not lining up for the basket and needing to re-drill? Got that, too.)
Sure seemed small after I assembled it. The cheap plastic front fender was broken and like others have said the bolt holes for the basket do not line up. Loose oversized washers on the rear axle made a click clack noise that at first I thought indcated bearing failure but I was able to make adjustments to correct it. It is very narrow but that's a good thing where I use it at work. On the plus side it is so much nicer having multiple gears and a rear brake in addition to the front caliper. The seat is very comfortable and the basket large enough for my tool tote. My six foot 265lb body looks goofy on it (so I am told repeatedly) but who really cares after saving so much time over walking and carrying tools by hand. Even the mouth pieces that call it "goofy" want to borrow it, sorry, NOT happening, don't know how I managed without it now.
as overweight and aging female, have to say LOVE the Workman trikes...if you have any sort of balance issues, these trikes are superb. Sure it's possible to tip them but you'd really have to doing something wrong like going off curb sideways or way too fast on a turn (yes you still have to lean a bit on turns) But bonus if you're out of shape, you can go really slow without tipping over, lol. I now have both the single speed and the 3 speed. Both are great little bikes for the money. Didn't want to invest a huge amount of money when I wasn't sure I'd be able to handle this kind of exercise. Looked at some other options & these work very well for this price range. Fun to get some exercise and feel like a little kid again. My adult kids tease me, but I think they're just jealous, lol
I am a bike enthusiast and this was purchased for wife who wanted something stable and easy to ride. It was a bit of a challenge to assemble, however, there is a youtube video that took me thu the procedure. The included instructions are also good. The folding feature allows the bike to fit in our SUV. The trike is heavy, so lifting it into a vehicle is a challenge. I built a ramp for the purpose. When it folds, it does not "hold" its set, unless you use a rope or something to keep the folded position stable. The gears (3) are the old and reliable Sturmey Archer. I don't care much for the coaster brake in the rear-- but it has a front wheel hand brake. A locking hand brake would be nice. Overall, the trike is a very good value, solid, good looking, and well designed. I would recommend it to a friend, as they say.
So far...so good. I was surprised at the fold-up portable ability; not so good if you do not have a SUV. Installation was prompt and service for in store delivery was great. Wish there were closer Walmart's to me, but you take what you can. Price point was better than Torker which was the other model I was looking at. Get the 3-speed model because it will hold more weight, I'm working on getting to below 250 and so far the bike is good for me. Make sure you work on the connections in terms of tighening; initially, the seat kept dropping; now fixed. Everywhere I go (errands) I get conversation...from homeless to other bikers. It is a new think vision in our ageing world, but at 70 it is my kinda machine.
I had an older tricycle with 24" wheels and 3-speed drivetrain with rear derailleur. The bike was so bulky, needs a lot of space in our garage and changing the gear was always an adventure.
For Christmas I looked for an other tricycle and found this Port-O-Trike with a rear 3-speed coaster at Walmart for 399.- and only 2.97 shippingcosts.
Assembling was very easy. My tip: before assembling clean all parts, then wipe all blank metal parts with a silicone-oil-soaked tissue so the bike will not get rusty.
Riding the bike is a pleasure. If you need the bike only for a few times (on camping and so) a single speed is okay. Otherwise I recommend the 3-speed bike.
I have followed all the instructions to set up the tricycle. The chain never stayed on spike wheels and when I tried to ride it the secondary small chain attached to rear hub breaks broke off. It was too heavy for me to return the whole thing. So I took it to a local bicycle repair shop to see if they can fix it. They have fixed it. The spike wheel was crocked and that was the reason the paddle chain never stayed on the spike wheels. Bicycle repair shop technician replaced the spike wheel. This part was in-fact installed when the product was shipped. So I have got a defected product and they got away with it. I had to pay $121.61 to get the whole mess straighten up. I have payed $440.70 to get the trike and an extra $121.61 to get the defect in the product fixed. I have the receipt from the bicycle repair shop as a proof. It was too heavy for me to re-pack and try to return.
We bought this tricycle for my 81 year old father for fathers day. He has been riding a bicycle down the canal for the last 50 years and recently began falling off of his bike. We bought the tricycle and he is absolutely thrilled with it. He reports that he can mount it on his bike rack to ride over to the canal. It took a bit of practice to get the steering down and it peddles easily. He has no trouble riding on the canal banks. He uses the basket to hold his water bottle. It was difficult to assemble so I let Walmart do it and they put it together and it was ready the next day! Great tricycle, great customer service!
I bought this trike for my handicapped 10 year old daughter. We love the bike and it works well for her.
The instructions for putting it together seem to be geared towards someone who is experienced at assembling bikes or a professional. There are no pictures or illustrations that are worth anything. I had to bring it to a shop to assemble the 3 speed lever because it must bee attached to the hand brake and the brake pin needs to be pressed out. It is a great bike but you may want to have it assembled professionally. Also it would be great if the company included a strap to hold the front wheel in the folded position for loading into a vehicle. I highly recommend this bike.

Not only were they able to fit me in last minute when I broke down on the other side of town from my house, they got the work done the same day (before the time they had estimated) and at the price they quoted.

Overall, they provided great service. However, they maybe could have checked a couple other things. In my opinion they could have recommended a tune up, since the car runs kind of rough. But I guess they were primarily focused on the main problem that the car had, with the steering and brakes.by Michael – Verified Customer February 01, 2016

Actually the guys are up front and honest. If your vehicle doesn't need serviced they will tell you, if something is wrong, they will tell you up front. If you had something like a major repair, they will tell you ins and outs, and their estimates are accurate. They are honest, good people, all the mechanics are ASC certified. They are all licensed basically. They're on schedule but busy, repair vehicles, pretty quick, and their turn around is pretty good.Show more reviewsby Jake – Verified Customer January 08, 2016

Twins knuckle under in 12-inning loss to Rangers
There are 17 comments on the TwinCities.com story from Jul 19, 2009, titled Twins knuckle under in 12-inning loss to Rangers. In it, TwinCities.com reports that:The choice was improbable, and minutes after R.A. Dickey threw a fastball to Ian Kinsler rather than his signature knuckleball, the right-hander knew his mistake.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at TwinCities.com.
#1 Jul 20, 2009
I would be more concerned about the hitting of 3-6 who haven't done squatt lately. Mauer has gone down hill so fast since the HR Derby he looks like he is in free fall in a downward spiral. It appears he is trying to pull everything. Bring Morales back up and give him some time off for a couple of games or so. Morneau and Cuddyer keep swinging at bad pitches that are not even close. Whats up with these guys? They are not bad hitters just bad selection of what to swing at. Somebody better get on these three hitters before they all go into free fall. Just an observation that is reality and could get worse. Pitching has been acceptable and defense outstanding. Go Twins!!!!
#2 Jul 20, 2009
Slumps happen to all players at one time or another. Just has to go its course.
#3 Jul 20, 2009
Left handed pitchers are the Twins Achilles heel..they will face 2 L handers in the California series..I'm not sure why Morales isn't DHing or something. Twins just don't have the killer instinct. Gardy always complains about things after the fact, doesn't he have any input or control when its happening?
#4 Jul 20, 2009
Who told DICKEY to throw he fastball! It wasn't my wife!
#5 Jul 20, 2009
A gerbil, had it watched the 6th inning, would have known not to send Liriano out for the 7th.
#6 Jul 20, 2009
why on earth did Liriano even come out of the dugout in the 7th? horrible decision #1, obviously, and #2, why pinch hit for Nick Punto when the guy is 3 for 4 ont he night, and then clearly #3 was the fastball. 3 horrible decisions = a loss that should not have happened. These Twins are really looking lousy.
#7 Jul 20, 2009
It's nice to see Young and Punto hit the ball. It's too bad they were the only ones. Mauer has one single in his last 22 at-bats. By comparison, Young has nine hits in his last 22 at-bats. Punto has reached base 32 times in his last 24 games.
#8 Jul 20, 2009
Three weeks ago the question was: "Can Mauer hit .400?"......now the question is: "Can Mauer hit .300?"
How many personal records can he get in July? 1. First time with 4 K's in a game. 2. First time 0 - 6 in a game. 3. Largest mid-season drop of a batting average. 4. Most left on base by batter in a 3 week period.
Remember, Mauer hit only .276 on real grass in 2008, and .259 in 2007. What's going to happen next year when the Twins are outside?
This is looking more like a disaster than a slump!
#9 Jul 20, 2009
nice job putting in that terrible knuckleballer GARDY!
#10 Jul 20, 2009
The Twins have turned things around on the road, 2 out of 3 from Texas. Last night's game was a nail-biter, what more can you ask for as a fan. There is no perfection in baseball.
#11 Jul 20, 2009
That was a team loss. When you get to the twelfth inning, SOMEONE's going to give up a run. Dickey's been pretty reliable this year, so I'm not going to get bent out of shape.
2 outta 3 in Texas is pretty good. The Bronx Bombers swept the Tigers and the Twins kept pace with the White Sox- all in all, a nice way to start the second half.
#12 Jul 20, 2009
I can ask Gardy not to send Liriano out in the 7th. Expanded to a general proposition, I can ask Gardy not to make inexplicable, dumb choices which result in wholly predictable and avoidable losses. Watching him make such choices is less than entertaining, and this whole enterprise is supposed to be an entertainment.
#13 Jul 20, 2009
agreed, Gardy is a moron and should be fired.
#14 Jul 20, 2009
It's too bad the Twins couldn't have pulled off a 3 game sweep in texas, but I'm sure they'll start another winning string tonight.
However, the main thing I want to know is:
When are those 3 characters from MSN North coming back from the Dells? Haven't they been there about a month now?
#15 Jul 20, 2009
Aside from the Yankees sweep the Twins have won 11 out of the past 13 series including a number of them on the road. Also, hitters 3-6 were carrying this team a few weeks ago. Now with Mauer, Morneau, and Cuddy slumping a little, the rest of the team is starting to pick up the slack. I like our chances....
#16 Jul 20, 2009
If it causes you so much pain, don't watch the games.
Entertainment or not, they won't win them all.
Second guessing Gardy is part of the game. Everytime Cuddyer strikes out in a big at bat, I give him hell.
Delmon Young is an over-rated bum. Trade him now.
But I don't lose any sleep over it, tomorrow is another day. 2 out of 3 in Texas is a good days' work, IMO.
Since: Mar 09
#17 Jul 20, 2009
This game is a good example of why I think this team probably won't make the playoffs. It seems that everytime they have a chance to put some pressure on the division leaders by closing the gap in the division lead, they lose a painful one and fall back.
They just can't seem to get over the hump that is required of teams to make the playoffs. Again the saving grace is that they play in a weak division and they will probably still be the race even in September.
