Difficult dilemma - pursue MBA or apply for well paid permanent job?....
I'm fast approaching 36 this year and have had a varied career. You could same i'm a jack of all trades but master of none, what with undertaking lots of roles and completing a business degree at 33. For the past couple of years, the job market has been tough. I've undertaken a couple of 6-9 month job contracts as a temp, whilst also experiencing a length period of unemployment. I loved the experience academia brought and I excelled during this journey, developing some great skills. I've just been accepted to do the MBA part time and have been in my current contract 15 months. It is due to come to an end in October but there's a chance of a permanent job coming up that is very well paid. [more inside]

Please don't make me start at entry level
I'm 25 years old and about to graduate with a MS in engineering. I am faced with the prospect of continuing my own venture or starting somewhere in industry. My venture is challenging and fulfilling, but not very promising, whereas the prospect of starting an entry level position makes me depressed and unmotivated. How can I find something to do where I will have ownership and opportunities for growth? [more inside]

How can I put my NSFW blog on my resume?
I have savings, and I hated my job, so I quit to start an unprofessional and NSFW business. The business "failed," and I've been unemployed for almost a year. So, now I need to account for this time on a resume and figure out what to do next. [more inside]
Getting vested in equity - what does that even mean?

How can I become an entrepreneur in high tech science?
I am a recent college graduate who's been interested in combining interests in science and engineering with business. I would love to get into something entrepreneurial, but am not sure how. [more inside]
How can I be more courageous?
This could go into human relations, work & money, or a number of other categories. I am a daydreamer, and I am often motivated by visions of the future. The problem is that the world often disappoints, and after many rejections/failures (alongside the successes, of course), I have gotten to having a fair amount of anxiety on a regular basis. It sometimes feels compelling to put my head in the sand rather than probing for real answers. How can I be more courageous? [more inside]
tired of engineering, want to learn MBA-level social skills. how?
So, I've been doing mechanical engineering for ~6 years now and it's becoming apparent that I could do a lot better (for myself, for others) with truly top-notch social/leadership/networking skills. What's a good way to gain these skills? [more inside]

Midlife crisis: Suggestions for a career path out of media?
I'm nearly 40 years old and by some measures, successful. I graduated from a top university and have been employed by major companies for nearly 20 years of my professional life. I've grown increasingly dissatisfied with my chosen career though, and I was hoping some of the wise minds here could give me some advice. Details follow. [more inside]
How can I keep up to date with the startup world?
As a programmer, I try to keep up to date with the tech world - including startups. Unfortunately, sometimes a site or app grows to huge proportions (ie. PInterest or Snapchat) and I have no idea that it exists. I know that there are a ton of blogs such as Techcrunch, Mashable, The Next Web and ReadWriteWeb, but these blogs are far too noisy for me as they all seem to run several posts per day. So I'd really love to find a site that focuses on those startups that are gaining significant traction. Or, I'd love to find a site where you can view what startups are getting hot, based on some metric such as people's votes. I know there's http://www.reddit.com/r/startups, but most of the posts are about the process of creating a startup. So what's a good site for keeping updated on startups that isn't too noisy?

How to register a company name and if under LLC or Corporation?
Hello, I am currently developing a small food business. I am interested in selling my food on weekends at outdoor markets across the city. I think this is a good way for me to get my feet off the ground and see how people respond to my product. What I can't quite figure out is if it is too soon to start thinking about registering the company name and logo? If so, would I register my small business as a LLC business or corporation? I am a bit confused. Would someone be able to help? Thank you!
Hacked Instagram account; can my friend get justice?
A fellow aspiring entrepreneur and friend of mine is in desperate need of help. Time is of the essence! Here's the story: Two years ago he created his own business that sells custom hand-made clothes and products. He owns a website and is on all of the normal social media. One of his most effective tools to connect with customers is through instagram. He's worked hard over the years to develop a fan base of over 27K followers. Mysteriously, last night this account was hacked. They changed the password, hacked the business email, and have taken control of the brand. This account is the business' main source of revenue and advertisement. Although he's trademarked the company and taken all the normal preventative measures, the admin. at instagram claims there's nothing they can do to help. Assuming this is true, what are his available options? Essentially, my friend's ship just got hijacked by some evil bastards and he's going to need a seal team to get it back. [more inside]

How do I evaluate the success of my business?
I own a restaurant in its first year of business. Some stretches I feel like we're doing just fine, whereas other stretches I feel like pulling out my hair.

New one-main-person business website: "I" or "We"?
After nearly a year of being unemployed and looking for that perfect job, I've decided instead to start my own business. It is set up as a sole proprietorship, but I will be collaborating with a bunch of fellow freelancers as their services become necessary (video editors, etc). On my website (which is set up as the name of my company), I have been using "we" to describe the work. "We have ten years of experience" "We have a specific passion for telling stories", etc. I'm not trying to fool anyone (my "about us" page basically says "this company is SoftLord, and also other awesome freelance partners"), but I'm having a difficult time figuring out the proper language to use. I've been going back and forth on this with fellow solopreneurs (yeah, I know) and there hasn't been any consensus. Is this disingenuous? Should I be using "I" instead? Snowflake inside.

How do you learn to set and work on goals as an adult?
How do I figure out what I want to be when I grow up? I've been very lucky in my life so far—just a little bit of work has yielded me amazing opportunities that have more or less fallen into my lap. But I'm starting to realize that I have no idea how to set, develop, and follow through on goals on my own. [more inside]

I just got into a top journalism school, but I want to be an entrepreneur
I'm 24 years old. I graduated in May with no debt from what is, frankly, a terrible college with a bachelor's degree in psychology. From there, I got into a top journalism program that will take 2 years to complete. My debt from that won't be astronomical, but I'm still worried about it. I wrote for my school paper and people really loved my work. My career goal if I were to go down this road is to write feature stories for New York Magazine and Esquire. I'd be satisfied with myself if I did that, even if the money wasn't fantastic. However, I've always dreamed of having my own dress company. [more inside]

How do you actually make money off of web-based software?
I'm a web developer with enough proven abilities to develop good stuff that end users like. I'm employed, but want to start a business with a couple of friends with complementary skill sets in the technical side of things. We'd like to create one or more web-based products used by small-to-mid-size businesses and/or individual consumers, paid for on a monthly basis using a "software as a service" model. We've got more than enough combined development and graphical/UX design abilities, but we have no solid product ideas that we feel confident enough about to start doing the enormous amount of work involved in any of them. The main problem with any idea we get is this question: how on Earth do you convince anybody to pay you money for the product? [more inside]

Predictive insight to put your customer at the centre of all you do.
For the first time, Starcount has enabled brands to see the world through the eyes of consumers. The first report in our Consumer Insight Series reveals a definitive segmentation of female fashion in the UK – showing you how important your brand is to different consumer types.
At Starcount, we deliver unique, actionable insights from a wealth of highly complex, real-time, global data – insights that enhance our clients' understanding of consumers and help their businesses grow.
Brands today are navigating a crowded and fragmented market. Changes in consumer attitudes, data regulations and the effects of content overload are making it increasingly difficult for brands to make an impact.
In an age of personalised marketing, significant value can be driven by employing predictive insights and real-time updates. Starcount has developed an agile capability which can add rich and nuanced dimensions to your existing customer data, nurturing brand love by understanding the mind sets of real people.
These insights can be used to inform a range of marketing decisions; from customer acquisition to content creation and targeting strategies.
Starcount derive insight from multiple data sources – including social media data, customer data and market data – combining and enhancing them with the intelligence from our proprietary data platform, The Observatory. We collaborate with our clients to tackle their unique business challenges, using our experience and knowledge to help them optimise their data strategies and make their marketing more effective and efficient.
We also provide a range of pre-packaged, industry-specific intelligence, focused solely on social data, through our Consumer Insight Series.
Our data platform, 'The Observatory', uses a series of methodologies and techniques, including graph theory, to discover consumers' genuine passions, needs and motivations by studying their social connections. Our analysis of social data shows the world as consumers see it by revealing the brands, influencers, media and interests that are most important to them.
Using our technology as an enabler, we give our clients a competitive advantage by responding quickly to their objectives, informing marketing strategies and identifying consumer trends.
We've produced the definite market segmentation for a number of different industries, revealing the distinct passions, interests, and likes of different, industry-relevant consumers.
Our insights are delivered in two forms: a free, online output called Brand Relevance Rankings (which you can view at rank.starcount.com) and a series of written Customer Segment Insights, that explore each segment in more depth.
We've produced our insights for a number of different industries. If you have a particular interest, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Starcount is led by Edwina Dunn (CEO) and Clive Humby (Chief Data Scientist), the founders of the global data analytics business, dunnhumby.
dunnhumby helped transform the retail sector, most notably with Tesco in the UK and Kroger in the USA.
At Starcount, we have brought together a team of first class data scientists and software engineers, led by experienced senior data consultants, to bring our clients the next generation of consumer insights and customer targeting.

Keeping our finger on the pulse of what our audiences love is crucial to Fremantle's content strategy. We know the audience profile most desirable to our advertisers and Starcount is able to offer granular insight into what they're passionate about. Starcount has impacted our long term digital content strategy and changed some of our pre-perceptions of our audiences.
Katharine Lewis, SVP Strategy & operations - Fremantle Media
Starcount's detailed insight into the gaming audience along with a rigorous creative testing approach resulted in 760% improvement in conversion to sales compared to our previous audience targeting methods.
Anne Marie Newman, Marketing Manager - Barclaycard
Twitter advertising was brought back into consideration for our marketing budget after Starcount successfully proved with their insight and targeting through Twitter that they could match or beat our CPAs in our previously best performing channels.
Stuart Brann, Performance Marketing Director - Barclaycard
Investec offers an exclusive, highly targeted service in personal banking. Traditional media and mass audiences would not be right for such a specific offer. Starcount is helping us to target our messages and to place them where they have most impact. This gives us a huge amount of valuable insight into what makes our customers and prospects tick, in and outside of the bank, which in turn helps us design better creative and relevant offers to shape and drive our new campaign.
Iain Clark, Head of Retail Marketing - Investec
Starcount is now expanding its understanding of consumers by applying proven approaches - not just to customer data or the rich social network data of stars revealing consumer passions and audience behaviours – but also to powerful third party financial data. By exploring these rare and complimentary data sets, they are able to help companies understand where consumers choose to spend their two most valuable resources - their time and their money.
Sir Terry Leahy, Director and Investor in Starcount
For years now content owners and brands have sought to learn more about their audiences and customers by collecting their data, but have seldom worked out how best to turn this information to their advantage. But with Starcount's revolutionary ability to provide insight into not just the 'active audience' but the passive 'watching audience,' their passions and influencers, producers can now create content tailor made to any audience on the planet who are active on social media. It makes the well-documented efforts of Netflix to use data in their acquisition and commissioning strategy look tiny by comparison.
Jon Davenport, Director – Fable Media
At Unilever, we are actively building 1 Billion relationships with our consumers. The future of competitive advantage hinges on our ability to process and act upon the constant flow of information available to deliver value to people beyond our products – to create affinity for our brands by not only what they do, but what they mean to the individual and/or world at large. This is the unprecedented opportunity that Social and data about people's lives offers us.
Shawn O'Neal, VP Global of Marketing Data & Analytics – Unilever
Starcount offers our clients a new way of tracking their customer behaviour, and understanding peoples real passions based on their social connections. The robust data provides live insights which can change the way we approach communications.
Lucas Brown, Chief Strategy Officer - Total Media

Starcount is helping us to better understand who our loyal and passionate advocates are, what they like most and, to find more like them, all over the world.

The first week i got it the car started having issues. The check engine light came on and the car started making a clunking noise in the front end. I called them and brought the car to them they said it was a fuel pump and an axle which they said they fixed but when i got the car back the check engine light was off and the clucking nosie was still present. i called back and the guy i talked with said "ill fix it when something else breaks". next thing you know the cv boot and axle were broken. so once again i had to bring the car back to get fixed. a few weeks later the car began to stall out and the anti freeze disapeared so again i called to get the car which i now call a lemon looked at. I was told by who ever picked up the phone that he couldnt look at the car till thursday and the car should be okay till then.
So the next day i had my four year old and three week old baby in the car driving them to an appointment and the car stalled out at a four way intersection in glens falls. mind you glensfalls is a busy place so i was so scared that someone was going to rear end us. i got the car to start and parked it in the cumberland farms parking lot at the intersection. i called my mother to come get my boys and follow me up to evia to drop the lemon off because after trying to call evia and getiing no answer i didnt no what else to do. i get the car to evia and it had over heated for the first time on my way up there. I talked to a guy who worked there in the parking lot and told him what was going on and how it stalled out on me and over heated on my way to drop the car off. I stated i knew my appointment was not till thursday but there was no way i could drive this car home. He talked to the man who sold me the car who is the manger i think and they "acted" all concered and said they would get it looked at and fixed right away. so they send my car to northway transsmission to be fixed which all the parts and everythigs thats wrong the warrenty says that they are covered well i guess not because now after all this they are now telling me that i have to pay for my car to get fixed and come up with $660 something to get my car back. as well as the head gaskets are blown and blah blah blah. im just so angry because this has all happended in a matter of 3 months and the guy at evias excuse is "i sell used cars, used cars have issues i dont no what else to tell you"

Make the story short - Because the way the contract was written, the $149.00 was non-refundable, but if you send back the kit, they promise within 30 days to refund the $359.00 to you...Long and behold - that didn't happen. Instead, they never sent me the kit and kept my $359.00. I follow the instruction on what to do...no money...I even tried to get my bank to reimburse me, but they told me, since I authorized this transaction, that they cant help me...it's between me and the merchant. I decided to write - Finney- on the your side...Hopefully, I will get my money back...I did learn a lesson from this...If something is too good to be true, it normally ISN'T...
P.S. I.m still trying to get my $359.00...I've called several times..They keep telling me that they dont know when I will get the money...BULL!!!

Chrissy Teigen made a name for herself as a model, but these days, she's becoming just as well known for her outspoken foodie presence on Twitter, Insta, and TV—MTV's "Snack-Off." Below, the lowdown on why we want to cook with Chrissy, or, at the very least, hang in the kitchen with her.
1. First off, she's legit about this cooking business.
2. She knows what it's like to suffer through the lime shortage like the rest of us. Unlike most of us, she gathered her strength and rose above this sad fact by making her own tasty spin on salsa.
3. She expects us to do our share of the work and we respect that.
are u seriously begging me for the recipe that i instagram captioned the recipe to? do you need me to get you groceries and move your arms?
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) July 29, 2014
4. She can teach us how to create a truly perfect, Instagram-worthy spread.
5. She's not afraid to improvise and can teach us the magic of trusting our tongues so that we too can create crowd/spouse/belly pleasing dishes that are deliciously healthy.
6. She once cooked with genius chef and incredibly sweet Frenchman Eric Ripert. So, by proxy, if we were to eat one of her meals, it would be like Eric Ripert had also cooked for us. Kind of. Maybe.
7. She can make a perfect scallop. Do you know how difficult it is to get that beautiful, caramelized sear?!
8. She understands that some of the best meals come in small packages.

9. She has a sous chef on-hand in case we need extra help.
10. Later on, we could relax in front of the tube and some of Chrissy's friends could join in.

September 2015
Dear Issaquah School District Community,
The 2015-16 school year is off to a terrific start with students and staff returning to school with smiles and enthusiasm. Our teachers and support staff worked hard throughout the summer to help ensure a warm welcome back to school and a positive and productive experience for all of our students. This year, in addition to our ongoing commitments to a culture of kindness, safety, and sustainability, the District will be focusing on several key issues.
This year, the District is in the early stages of establishing a new approach to managing student behavior. We call it our Positive Behavioral Social Emotional System, or PBSES. This approach is being introduced in all of our schools with a special emphasis in our elementary and middle schools. We will also be working on the issues of grade reporting and its connection to homework and examining our school day start and end times.
Student behavior management, grade reporting, and bell times are all very significant and complex issues. A challenge public school systems have when addressing important issues like the aforementioned is ensuring that while we study, implement, and look forward, that we remain in the moment. Each day, we come to work committed to creating and maintaining the best learning experience possible for our students.
Growth management another critical issue confronting the Issaquah School District. The District continues to grow, adding more than 400 new students for this school year and nearly 1,000 new students in the past two years. Last spring, I chartered a School Construction Bond Feasibility Committee made up of 49 diverse community members and school district staff. This committee unanimously passed a recommendation for a future School Bond.
I forwarded the committee's proposal, with some modifications, on to our School Board for consideration. The School Board has held several meetings open to the public to discuss this recommendation, and will continue to gather more public input as they consider a future Bond election. Growth, along with the desire for full-day kindergarten and lower class sizes, all drive the need for more classrooms across the district. The good news is we live in a part of the country that has a very strong economy, beautiful natural surroundings and an incredible public school system. All of these factors that make this a very desirable place to live and learn.
I am enthusiastic and excited about the coming school year. All of us in the Issaquah School District are honored to serve our families, students, and community as we work to prepare each and every student for and the academic, occupational, personal, and practical challenges of life in a dynamic global environment. Have a wonderful school year.
Superintendent Ron Thiele

From the Publisher
My fifteen-month-old grandson, Ethan, has fallen in love with a neighbor's driveway. It sits two houses down from where he lives in Sebastopol, California, and it seems to overflow with small, multi - colored stones. He stops there when I take him for a walk, and then he refuses to leave. He picks up a handful of stones and inspects each one carefully. He places them one after another in my hand, watching intently, and I give them back to him one by one until his hand is full again. I don't know who has given him the job of turning every little stone over and over in his hand until he understands its very essence, but that's the job he has accepted, and he's not leaving until it's done. He plops down on his butt and cuffs the stones into a pile, looks at me, and knocks it down and giggles. He can keep this up for hours, and if I pick him up to take him home, he cries. His playful curiosity is infectious, and I think I must have inherited a lot of genes from Ethan, because I operate just as he does. I live to play and to satisfy my curiosity.
For the past twenty-five years, two questions have kept my curiosity aroused: What makes poor people poor? And what can they do about their poverty?
Because of these infernal questions, I've dozed off during hundreds of long jeep rides with good companions over dusty, potholed roads. I've had thousands of conversations with one-acre farmers with dirt on their hands. We've walked along their patches of ten-foot-high black pepper vines in the central hills of Vietnam beside jungle permanently scarred by Agent Orange. We've strolled together through their scattered quarter-acre plots in the drab brown winter plains of the Gangetic delta in Uttar Pradesh, and they have offered me more cups of steaming tea than my seventy-three-year-old kidneys can take. I love discovering new things from people nobody else ever seems to listen to, and I love talking them into trying out some of the crazy ideas that we come up with together. I have learned more from talking with these poor farmers than from any other thing I have done in my life.
This book will tell their story and describe some of the things these people have taught me. It will tell the story of Krishna Bahadur Thapa and his family, and of how they moved from barely surviving on less than a dollar a day to earning forty-eight hundred dollars a year from their two-acre farm in the hills of Nepal. I tell many stories like Baha - dur's in this book, and I hope that each one of them satisfies another small bit of your curiosity about how people who are extremely poor live their lives and dream their dreams. Best of all, what I learned from these people has been put to work in straightforward strategies that millions of other poor people have used to end their poverty forever.
Each of the practical solutions to poverty I describe is obvious and direct. For example, since 800 million of the people whose families survive on less than a dollar a day earn their living from small farms, why not start by looking for ways they can make more money from farming? And since these farmers work for less than a dollar a day, why not look for ways they can take advantage of their remarkably low labor rates by growing high-value, labor-intensive cash crops and selling them at the time of year when these crops will fetch the highest prices? If it is true that common sense is not really common, and that seeing and doing the obvious are even less so, then some of the conclusions I draw from my conversations with poor people will surprise you: they certainly fly in the face of conventional theory and practice in the development field.
I hate books about poverty that make you feel guilty, as well as dry, academic ones that put you to sleep. Working to alleviate poverty is a lively, exciting field capable of generating new hope and inspiration, not feelings of gloom and doom. Learning the truth about poverty generates disruptive innovations capable of enriching the lives of rich people even more than those of poor people.
The first section of the book explains how I became curious about poverty, describes the process I learned for finding creative solutions to just about any major social problem, and challenges the three great poverty eradication myths that have inhibited doing the obvious to end poverty.
The next section, Chapters 3 to 8, describes what many small-acreage farmers have taught me, a practical approach capable of ending the poverty of some 800 million of the world's dollar-a-day people. For poor people themselves, there is little doubt that the single most important step they can take to move out of poverty is to learn how to make more money. The way to do it is through grassroots enterprises --just about all of the poor are already tough, stubborn, survival entrepreneurs--and they have to find ways to make their enterprises more profitable. For small-farm enterprises, the path to new wealth lies in growing market-centered, high-value, labor-intensive cash crops. To accomplish this, poor farmers need access to affordable irrigation, a new generation of farming methods and inputs customized to fit tiny farms, the creation of vibrant new markets that bring them the seeds and fertilizers they need, and open access to markets where smallacreage farmers can sell their products at a profit. This range of new products and services for poor customers can only be created by a revolution in current design practice, based on the ruthless pursuit of affordability. Chapter 9 describes how the principles discussed in the earlier chapters can be applied to helping poor people living in urban slums and on the sidewalks of cities in developing countries.
In the wrap-up section, Chapter 10 describes the central role poverty plays in most of the problems facing planet Earth; Chapter 11 describes what donors, governments, universities, research institutions, and the rest of us can do to end poverty; and Chapter 12 tells how Bahadur and his family finally moved out of poverty.
My hope is that you will come away from reading this book energized and inspired. There is much to be done.

The power of Polak's arguments are in the examples that he weaves throughout the book. (His skepticism of "the experts" comes through in some of the examples in helpful ways as well). After having read a number of the current development thinkers, I would recommend this book above the others for its ability to start with the needs of the poor farmer, highlight solutions, explain why they are sustainable through markets, and issue a challenge to development professionals and product designers around the world for how to make money while also serving the needs of the poor who represent a large and untapped market.
The book made me want to go out and start a business that serves such large unmet needs. I highly recommend the book - a good read and a great, practical, down-to-earth reminder of what matters to people who live on less than $1/day -- affordability and practical use.
"I believe that nothing less than revolutions in water, agriculture, markets, and design are needed. All four are doable and practical, and I'm committed to making them happen before I die.
How do we change how the world thinks and acts about dollar-a-day poverty? I want to make three things happen:
Change the way design is taught in the west.
Change the way design is taught in developing countries.
Create a platform for 10,000 of the world's best designers to address the practical problems of the other 90% of the world's customers."
This delightful book is the beginning of finding ways for everyone to jump in as major players, in a way that fits with their dreams. It's an education, an insightful and inspiring process and a great opportunity for us all.
In Out of Poverty, Dr. Polak interweaves the IDE story and the principles that guide it with that of one Nepalese family who moved from poverty into the middle class. The fundamental precepts of Dr. Polak's work are clearly laid out in the introduction:
"1. The biggest reason most poor people are poor is because they don't have enough money.
"2. Most of the extremely poor people in the world earn their living now from one-acre farms.
"3. They can earn much more money by finding ways to grow and sell high-value labor-intensive crops such as off-season fruits and vegetables.
"4. To do that, they need access to very cheap small-farm irrigation, good seeds and fertilizer, and markets where they can sell their crops at a profit."
Much of Out of Poverty deals in detail with the challenges entailed in implementing these principles. Irrigation, including the story of the treadle pump, gets the most attention. Dr.Read more ›

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.

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.

How often do you go to the grocery store? Do you make a list or just get stuff as you see it?
Way too often! Usually once a week because we need the produce. Sprouts has double ad Wednesdays which I like to take advantage of. We usually stop at Trader Joes, then Sprouts, then finish up with a trip to Costco (all on Wednesday). Sometimes on Mondays when my older two have a gymnastics class I will quick run down to Smiths (one of our "main" grocery stores) with just the younger 3 and grab a few things then too. I always have a list, but will usually also grab a few things extra as well.
I never go without a list. When it's me in charge it's once a week or more, when do has been in charge it's whenever we r out of food lol.
I put the rather important things on the list, then I wind up forgetting about it and not getting half the stuff we need. I try to do the main shopping trip once every two weeks, and then usually wind up going to Save-a-Lot somewhere in between to get a gallon of milk, or more bread or vegis.
I go on payday-- every two weeks. My list is extremely important. I try to plan meals around sales and then add anything else we need to that.
About once a month I try to hit Aldi for things that are cheaper there (baking supplies like vanilla extract, fresh berries, cereal are big ones!).
I try to pre plan meals for the week and always make a list so I only have to go once. But often I end up making a fast run for one or two things towards the end of the week also.
I go SO OFTEN! I'm not kidding at least 3x/week. I like getting fresh produce, and I will go through some stuff so fast - especially berries and avocados. And I shop at so many different places. I go to one store for produce and eggs, the health food store (right beside it) for whatever the first didn't have, as well as some dried goods or specialty items. Then I also go to my SIL's store for extra produce (it's further, so that's not as often) and then I go to the main supermarket for berries, dairy and snacks since they are cheaper there than the other stores/have the ones that I want. And on top of that, we have a farm delivery for veggies once/week. I always think I should be able to buy enough food for an entire week, but we always run out of something (or lots of things). I have NO clue how people shop 1/week or 1/2weeks!
I go whenever we start getting low on important things. I take a list but that's just of the 'must have' items. I improvise a lot. I'm not all into meal plans, so I just buy stuff and then put it together later. LOL.
I go once a week for "everything" and usually have to go midway through the week for more produce. Like....my kids can eat 16 bananas in 3-4 days. Buying any more than 3 bunches at once would be ridiculous! So usually mid-week I will get more fruit and veggies if needed, and usually more milk.
I make a list. I try to meal plan beforehand for the week so I know what I need, especially because of DH's new diet.
I shop at Superstore for groceries, and I make a Costco run once a month for diapers, wipes, and bulk items - like big boxes of frozen chicken breast.
Bananas are so cheap at our costco! We only go through a couple a week but my friend with ONE 3 year old son will go through 2-3 a day. Wow!
once a week for the grocery store. 80% of the time there is a list with coupons and items picked out, but part of the cart always ends up being items that weren't on the list.
about every 3 months I make a trip to Costco to stock up on meats
I go once a week, and I never go without a list!
We are terrible with grocery shopping. I rarely do it these days so DH does it and he never plans more than like 5 minutes ahead. So there is rarely a day he doesn't make a stop at the store and does 90% of the shopping at Walmart. We also eat out way too much due to not having the right type of food in the house to put together a decent meal and no plan. I hate our "system" but have never gotten myself together on meal planning so it has just been this way. This is actually one of my big priorities for when I'm on maternity leave. I have got to get some weekly meal plans put together so it's pre-done and I can cycle through them without alot of effort for continued planning.
Anyone have any tips on meal planning that has worked for you? Whenever I try to keep up with doing it I always end up making it too complicated, not with planning fancy meals but just with trying to find more variety and trying different things. So then I just give up. That's why I feel like getting some basic weekly plans, like 4 or 5, done and then maybe changing a meal here and there when I have the energy to come up with something new may work better for me.
We go every Friday! I plan 4-5 meals for the week and do leftovers. This week will be a little crazy so I've got spaghetti/salad/garlic bread, meatball stroganoff and green beans and pot roast with carrots and potatoes. Those should each give us at least two meals! Basically easy meals DH can put together. Two are cp meals!
Lynn, I've got a folder and I printed out some daily charts that have meal planning, chores and misc. things on it. I just put them in individual sheet protectors and use dry erase markers so I can just erase and reuse. I usually rotate our favorite meals! I can look and see where I got them from if you want
Lynn, I just made a list of the meals we do and divided it by type of meat or no meat so I can make our week carried that way. I plan a month in ahead and leave some days empty to go out or fill in. At the end of the calendar I put an 8th column for our weekly shopping list for the meals planned. I did this b4 bed rest and plan on updating it and doing it again
I work in a grocery store so I'm constantly "picking up" something. Then I do my "shopping" on the days I'm off so I'm ALWAYS at work LOL My specific store doubles coupons up to 1.00 everyday and I'm a big couponer (except since the baby has been here I haven't couponed at ALL) so I do atleast plan out what I'm buying with coupons.
I haven't needed diapers or wipes yet, but I'll probably tag along with MIL when she goes to the Wholesale place (which, is called BJ's ...that's a horrible name for a store) when I need some. I do fly through some formula though - good grief!
We are pretty basic with the meal planning. Usually only 2-3 days of the week are really a NICE meal. For example, here's what was on the menu this week:
Sunday - Baked Orange Chicken, rice, stirfried veggies
Monday - Hot dogs on the BBQ, watermelon
Tuesday - Spaghetti with tomato sauce, salad, garlic toast
Wednesday - Leftovers (we'll have leftovers from both Sunday and Tuesday)
Thursday - BBQ baked potatoes, BBQ chicken breast, fresh veggies
Friday - pancakes, fruit smoothies
Saturday - homemade pizza
I am very simple with my cooking - I don't make my own spaghetti sauce, I use Bisquick when I make pancakes, etc. I do make my own pizza dough but it is not that hard. I am loving the BBQ weather now! Baking potatoes on the BBQ is so perfect - pierce, wrap in foil, and stick 'em in. You don't have to heat up the house and you can just leave the potatoes unattended on the BBQ for the hour before supper. I usually pop them in around 4:10 pm, and then around 4:40 I start with the other supper prep (we eat early).
I just recently started meal planning a bit more - I print off the calendar for the month and fill in our favourite go-to meals where I see fit. Usually once a week I will try a new recipe, like the Baked Orange Chicken this week.
I grocery shop on Thursdays. On Wednesday night I sit down, print out coupons, plan out meals, and make my list. I have a binder of recipes and my Pinterest board to give me ideas. I try to not so the same things over and over again. I try to plan ahead for the week and make have something easy or leftovers on nights that will be a little crazy for me. Which I also make lunches too, I really struggle with planning out lunches. Planning out my meals has really helped me so much!
Lynn, as far as meal planning - just start by having a couple recipes for easy meals that you know the family likes. Then as you try more recipes and they are a success, add to it. I always try to stick with pretty basic meals (as far as prep) so they are easy to get done. For us, I might have about 20 main dishes or all in one meals that are our current favorites that I pick from for the week. They are all in a binder, and a keep a list on the fridge that says the title of each meal. I just go to the fridge and read through the meals to figure out what I want. I also might plan to try a "new recipe" for the week as well. Also, I look at the sale ads for Sprouts and Smiths for the week to help me figure out what I might want to do as well (and to add in sides/veggies and fruits as well). I try to keep my folder to only about 3 weeks worth of meals that really "work for us." This makes it much easier to figure out what will actually work for our week, instead of sifting through mountains of meals and recipes. Also we try to keep snacks very basic around here - cheese sticks, fruit, veggies, or nuts. I just make sure I have enough of those for the week and then we are good. Also keep an eye on condiments and such. Also, sometimes I'm not sure how much "left overs" we will have from meals, so I will plan enough meals and one or two "extra" for the week. If the "extra" meals don't get eaten, then they get cycled into the next week.
I watch food network pretty much from 7am to ...whenever Julie goes to sleep for the night. (DH gets a few hours in between)... but I have never tried any of the recipes. I get stuck in a rut sometimes about what to cook. For instance, I haven't *really* grocery shopped so.. the only thing in the freezer is pizza (we had pizza two nights ago), chicken (3 nights ago) and hamburger (last night). Not leftovers - just more of the same meat. I *know* I can do like 1000 things with chicken, but DH doesn't like chicken LOL I LOVE chicken. But I feel like I'm cooking the same basic thing over and over.
We usually go once a week, and occasionally throw in another special visit to costco or target.
We meal plan for the week and rarely go for extras.
I try to stick with a no meat night, chicken night, pasta night, something with rice, beef, something bread related like sandwiches or breakfast for dinner, etc. So that there is a variety. We also try to rotate through recipes that we know we like and occasionally throw in a new one to test out. I have found a lot of good recipes on pinterest as well as some simple and easy ones.
This week we are having:
breakfast for dinner (pancakes/bacon)
grilled cheese w/tomato soup
chili w/cornbread
potstickers w/egg drop soup
indian food w/rice
risotto w/edamame
Thanks for the ideas I've got to get the meal planning and one shopping trip thing figured out. I just need to get a system set up and make it a habit. What we are doing now is so unfriendly to the budget and being healthy. It's too easy to grab some unhealthy convenience food when there is no plan.

I've setup a dropdown menu for one of the menu items. When you hover over "Teaching" you'll see a dropdown menu:
The menu is plain WordPress, no plugins. The problem is the dropdown. It doesn't work very well. It collapses to quickly.
Is there a solution for this?
Thanks a lot!

All I Want Is You (Agnes song)
|"All I Want Is You"
|Single by Agnes
|from the album Veritas
|August 31, 2012
(see Release history)
|Digital download
|Roxy/Universal Music
|Agnes, Ana Diaz, Jonas Quant
|Jonas Quant
|Agnes singles chronology
"All I Want Is You" is a song by Swedish recording artist Agnes. The song was written by Agnes, Ana Diaz, and Jonas Quant. The latter produced the song for Agnes' fourth studio album, Veritas (2012). The song received its radio debut on Sveriges Radio P3 on August 29.[1] It was released as the second single from the album on August 31, 2012.[2]
On July 2012, Agnes debuted the song at her performance at Stockholm Pride.[3] On August 27, 2012, Agnes revealed the release date and artwork for the single.[2] The single was sent to radio stations across Sweden on August 29, one week before the release of her fourth studio album "Veritas".[4] The same day blogger Perez Hilton premiered the lyrics video of the song exclusively on his website and commenting it with "Agnes Doesn't Want Much… All She Wants Is You! And all WE want it more Agnes! Seems like a fair trade to us!"[5] Agnes has self stated that "All I Want Is You" is feverish, and ambiguous, perhaps a declaration of love, but equally a story of obsession.[6]
Music video[edit]
A lyric video for the song was released on Agnes official YouTube page on 30 August 2012.[7]
Critical reception[edit]
UK blogger, Scandipop, compared the tune with her previous hit "Release Me" saying that "those who wanted something similar to that era will be pleased to learn "All I Want Is You" is a respectful nod back to that sound. Dancepop, with a heavy emphasis on the strings." However he admitted that the sound of the single evolved the appropriate way for the last four years, and he paided homage to producer Jonas Quant, who wrote the song along with Ana Diaz and Agnes herself, for this.[8] JonAli described the song as "an emotional disco anthem with lush strings and a flawless vocal from the Swedish diva." "All I Want Is You" brings us back to the friendly dance beats we are use [sic] to hearing from her hits 'Release Me' and 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart'."[9]

After endless pages of questions upon questions upon questions, during which I know they collected much valuable marketing data, I chose two relatively economical offers, for BocaJava Coffee and BMG Music.
Naturally, the company never contacted me and I never received the gift card promised. I contacted the companies I bought stuff from but they could provide no information. Since they benefited from the scam by getting my money, I consider them partners in crime with "Deluxe Online Rewards."
I don't think that companies should be able to get away with promising free stuff and not delivering it. I plan to contact the Attorney General (I think it's Bill Lockyer) of the State of California and report this company. There are many who are operating the same scam and with any luck we can get them ALL out of business!

The rings I received should never have been shipped. The first one had 4 large scratches and I returned it. The second ring's sapphire was cracked. I am now waiting for the third ring to be shipped but do not have high hopes for a ring without defects. I know it not an expensive ring but the rings that were sent were not even wearable.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? The ring looked better on the site. The sapphire looked perfect
- How accurate was the sizing? fine
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. I sent back 2 rings because the sapphires were either badly scratched or cracked
Pretty ring if you didn't look too close. The white topaz stones looked good but the sapphire in the center was a medium blue, scratched, and does not get the thumbs up. No more ordering sapphires off the computer.
The price was very reasonable and the ring is lovely with just a few exceptions. The stone color is much lighter than depicted... more like a bluish grey. There is a slight defect that you can notice only if looking for it. Otherwise I m very happy with it and it looks really nice!
It is beautiful ring i get tow one for me and one for my sister , I like it so much
This ring is everything I had hoped for for the price. The sapphire in the ring I received is a lovely dark blue, which I prefer as opposed to "black" sapphires. The stone is scraped a bit on one of the ends, but it's not very noticeable. I would highly recommend this ring over other Princess Diana/Kate Middleton replicas as the sapphire is real, good-sized, and doesn't give off the obviously "fake" vibe of most lab-created stones.
- How accurate was the sizing? True to size
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good quality for price
This ring is totally gorgeous, and I think my giftee will really love it, but I couldn't give it the 5 because the stone looks much different in real life. It's a very light purpley-blue color. Pretty, but I'd expected a dark stone to match a necklace I'd gotten her before.

I have not found any posts newer than 4 years old on this subject, but I apologize if I missed any more recent ones.
I would like to only allow Administrators (or any role higher than subscriber) to post comments. Subscribers would be able to read the comments, however they would not be able to respond.
I have tried various Role Management plugins, but have not found any that specifically control who can post comments. I am trying to setup a web comic and would like only the comic authors (a.k.a. the three administrators) to be able to leave comments on the comic posts. We want to limit all discussions to a message board, which is why I don't disable user registration.
Currently running Comicpress 220.127.116.11
I tried the "Role Scoper" and "Role Manager" plug ins, but the didn't help.
Thank you for any help you can give, I am at my wit's end.
