This article is about getting faster at routine tasks by measuring and visualizing the time it takes to complete recurring tasks over a period of time.
Lets face it: you've got a bunch of routine tasks that are boring and keep you from doing more interesting things. But these tasks are important! Your professional reputation depends on you doing them well and in a timely fashion. It's routine. It's drudgery. It's like that old Dunkin' Donuts commercial that says "time to make the donuts". Everybody's got at least some donuts to make, right? Well, let's make some freakin' donuts!
We've all got better things to do than make the donuts, right? But the donuts have to get made, and the sooner you get it done the sooner you can move on to bigger and better things, like thinking about strategy and big ideas that are really going to move the needle for your company, your clients, or yourself. So I'm going to show you a "hack" to get better and faster at your routine tasks.
We'll be using two FREE webapps for this technique: KanbanFlow and trackthisforme. KanbanFlow is a free to-do manager with a built in timer, and trackthisforme is a data tracker that allows you to visualize trends over time.
So without further ado, on to the step by step…
Set Up KanbanFlow
First we're going to get set up with KanbanFlow, which is a free project/ to-do manager with a built in task timer. Follow these easy steps:
- Go to kanbanflow.com and open a free account.
- Do the quick 2 minute tutorial to get an overview of the app.
- Hide the "Do today" column by clicking the minus sign at the top left of the column.
- Add your task in the "To Do" column. For example, if your task is about managing Google's budget you would add something like "Google Budget Management".
- Add another task called "Transition Time" (or something), to represent time in between tasks.
OK, we're good here. Leave this tab open, we'll be right back. Now let's go set up TrackThisForMe…
Set Up trackthisforme
- Go to www.trackthisfor.me and open a free account.
- Where it says "Name", enter the name of your task. So in this example we'll name it "Goog Budg Mgmt" (there's a 20 character limit).
- For symbol enter "Minutes", because that's our unit of measurement. Choose whichever color you want. Then click create.
- Click the box with the name of the task. Doing that should open up a page that looks like this:
Sweet, now we're ready to time our first task!
Timing Your First Task
Now it's time to make the donuts. Just follow these simple, handy instructions!
- Go to your KanbanFlow tab and click "Pomodoro timer" in the bottom left-hand corner. The timer will be set to run for 25 minutes with 5 minute breaks (aka the Pomodoro Technique), but you can adjust this to your personal preferences with the settings button. I like to go with 50 minutes and a 10 minute break, but you can adjust this to your own rhythms. The key is that you are setting aside focused blocks of time.
- Click "Select task" and select the task that you've set up on the Kanban board.
- Ready to get to work on your task? No? OK, well go take your pee break, get a cup of coffee and do whatever else it is you do back there. You back? OK… click "Start work" aaaand START WORKING! GO GO GO!
- When you finish, note how much time you have accumulated for the task. I round to the nearest half-minute, so if it takes me seven minutes and 21 seconds, I round up to 7.5.
- Click "Change task" in the Pomodoro timer and click the "transition time" task. This will stop time from accumulating in your task. (On a side note, you can measure transition time as well. It's a good thing to measure!)
- Go to TrackThisForMe and click "New element" at the top. Ener how long it took you to do the task in the "Value" field.
- Optional: Rank yourself on how good you feel about the job you did. Satisfaction is actually a more important metric than minutes! Sometimes it takes longer than other times to do a particular task, but you know if this was quality time or wasted time. You can also add comments that you can refer to later.
- Click "Create".
Aaaaand, you're done.
What Next?
So now what? Just keep tracking the same task just like that every time you do it. Use this process for your other routine tasks. Once you've got some data you'll be able to visualize how much faster and/or better you've gotten at the same task over a period of time. Here's an example:
By using this dashboard you can monitor how long it takes you to complete the task over time, as well as your own satisfaction in how well you did (if you want to track that). I've found that tracking my time this way helps me focus and block out distractions. It also motivates me to beat my old time! The "satisfaction" rating helps kill any urge to cut corners just to improve my time.
This is a hack for getting better and faster at routine tasks. If you've read this far I bet you've got some ideas on how this process could be improved. I would love to geek out with you about it in the comments. Until next time, here's to getting sh*t done and moving on!

The game comes one week before the rest of the 2014 Big Ten football schedule begins.
Penn State's slate also sees the return of Michigan State (at Beaver Stadium Nov. 29) as the Nittany Lions' end-of-season matchup. Before the Big Ten added Nebraska for the 2011 season, PSU and MSU squared off for the Land Grant Trophy at the end of each season.
When the Cornhuskers joined the conference and the Big Ten separated into two divisions, the Lions and Spartans found themselves in different divisions. They have not played the last two seasons and will not face one another this year.
With the addition of Rutgers and Maryland to the Big Ten for 2014, the divisions have been reorganized. Penn State will be in the same division as the Scarlet Knights, Terrapins, Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State.
Penn State renews its rivalry with Maryland at Beaver Stadium Nov. 1, 2014.
The Nittany Lions must still add two more non-conference games for the 2014 season. Penn State is trying to work out a deal to face UCF in Ireland Aug. 30 of that year.
A Penn State release says the Lions are slated to face Temple at Beaver Stadium on Aug. 30, 2014. That game will presumably be moved to a date later in the season or delayed until a future season if the deal is struck to face UCF in Ireland.

Colorado Springs Independent: You photograph glaciers over time in visually striking places. What do you think are the strengths of using that approach at this point in the Extreme Ice Survey?
Balog: I've been very conscious for several decades when I'm doing these projects that involve challenging, provocative or controversial subjects, and sometimes painful subjects—I've been very conscious that you need to seduce the viewers with some kind of visual point of entry. You've got to seduce them with the pure visual pleasure, or drama, first, and then you embed the story underneath it, so the artistry becomes a way to seduce, to bring people in, to the large story you are trying to tell.
CS Indy: Some people might argue that's a bait-and-switch type of tactic, especially those who think global warming is not true, or it's a natural cycle over which we have no control.
Balog: I don't think it's bait-and-switch, although you could try and apply language to that. In terms of the controversial-ness of the climate change story, I don't see a contradiction there at all. It is critical to everything I am doing to understand that the scientific context—measurable, quantifiable, not based on projections, [but] based on an 850,000-year record of paleoclimates in the ice cores—is critical to understand that nature isn't natural anymore, and that the atmosphere we have created over the past 200 years is an atmosphere that hasn't existed on this planet for way, way longer than civilization has existed.
That is measurable, precise and quantified. That knowledge doesn't come from a bunch of hippie academics in Boulder and East Anglia making stuff up. That has been measured over and over and over again by boots-on-the-ground science, scientists from many, many different countries who've worked on the ice in Greenland and Antarctica. That's the framework on which our pictures are based.
CS Indy: The ice cores go back thousands of years. How do you make that link between what is observable right now and the record contained in those ice cores?
Balog: We've been in the field three years. That's what we can speak to. We're showing the process of ice loss that's happening right now. Of course, that's what we speak to, those three years. But it's anchored in an extremely well-established record of ancient climates that goes back almost a million years. It's unmistakable and irrefutable.
I've had this argument with very hardcore climate skeptics who say it's natural variation. It isn't natural variation, and the climate skeptics have never come up with any explanation for those long-term temperature records.
CS Indy: But every time there's a piece of evidence to the contrary, like news about a temperature record adjustment, everyone says, "Ah, see, they've been deceiving us all along."
Balog: They are poorly informed. I will bluntly say they are poorly informed. They don't know the facts. I said that on CNN to one of the leading, um, let's charitably call them lobbyists, working on the skeptical side. He doesn't know the facts.
CS Indy: Leading climate scientists have been making the argument for years that we need to be cutting emissions. How do you see your work making a difference when both sides seem so entrenched?
Balog: I don't think we have a problem of economics and technology in responding to climate change. We have a problem of perception, because not enough people get the reality of what is happening, and there has been an aggressive pushback by status quo interests to keep people confused, to keep them thinking there's no problem.

Submitted to: Agronomy Abstracts
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 7/15/1996
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Under low P conditions, white lupin responds with a suite of developmental and biochemical changes that result in the exudation of copious amounts of citrate and malate, thereby increasing plant available P. When P is withheld, clustered tertiary meristems on young secondary roots are visible by 6 days after shoot emergence (DAE) and these meristems emerge through the cortex by 9 DAE into proteoid root zones. Within one day of proteoid roots becoming visible, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) mRNA expression is enhanced in proteoid roots compared to normal roots. Soon after, amounts of PEPC enzyme and specific activity of PEPC are higher in proteoid compared to normal roots. Carbon fixation by root PEPC contributes approximately 33% of the carbon required for enhanced citrate and malate exudation from the proteoid root zone. Coincident with increases in PEPC activity, extracellular acid phosphatase activity is also oenhanced in proteoid compared to normal roots.

This synthesis paper summarizes the current state of knowledge and debate about the economic benefits of prevention. This includes evaluations of specific clinical, health protection, and health promotion interventions, as well as the potential micro- and macro-economic benefits of acting on broader determinants of health (e.g., early childhood development) for health and well-being.
The report
Consistent with other assessments of the economics of preventive health interventions, this survey of the recent evidence found that some interventions are cost-saving for the health system, and many others are cost-effective. Adopting a broader social determinants of health perspective can increase the likelihood of favourable cost-effectiveness, and potential for cost-savings, for many prevention initiatives.

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
Welcome to JA, My name is John
The problem you are discribing is a common one and can be related to a fault of either the main board or the backlight/backlight inverters
hi I am simon
common one - ok, is that an easy fix that I can do or does that require a Pro do fix and replace items?!
I alway recommend a pro... but it is a simple enough fix hard to diagnose
It will require at least one board replacement
There is a test i am looking up the info now to help you
ok - do have steps to check to find out if it main board / Blacklight or Inverters?!
and does the price of these vary?
press and hold ch-dn and Vol-up at pluginfor maybe 2-5 seconds.
This well put the set into backlight power on, if you have a good invert the set will power on and light the backlight solid with no dark areas... if you see a dark area you have a failed inverter... this set has 4 so you will need a scope to identify which one... If it is the main board the set will not power the backlight... this is a simple test a proper metering of the board is required to confirm but it is 90% this work to identify the failure
just so I am clear - you want me to press and hold ch-dn and Vol-up when I turn TV on or plug in tv from mains?!
Unplug the power cord to the set, wait 10 second then hold CH UP and VOL UP together and plug in the tv and continue to hold the buttons until it powers
ok will do that now
okay let me know
ok did that
I guess i should ask one more thing are you able to see the menu if you press menu on the sharp remote... should have asked that first i just assumed you had already i should never assume, what did you see
Screen come up saw text in right hand top corner - normal channel details in white with black screen that flickered few white lines and now its black all over
I can see the menu just in white
but looks like a black wave is going from top to bottom of the screen
now screen menu is disappeared and screen is completely black
sounds like a main board failure to me... it could be a failure of the tcon but or even a defective panel but if i had to guess i would say failed main board... the main board is about 200 cheaper from a sharp service but they wont sell you the part unless they repair it so guess that prob about 350 to fix from a service center you could take the hip shot and replace the main board if you order from a reputable site they have a good return policy if it does not resolve it, it would not surprize me it having a failed main board since this is a common issue with this set, i can provide the part number and a few sites i could recommend that have in stock are TSM, moduslink, partstore.com ...black screen is consistant with a failed main board full backlight up means your inverters are good and the backlight is good
*apology surprise not surprize (again apology)
Part #: DUNTKD934FM02 a very common defect with this model
good to know
but typically you do not get a white menu which could point to a failure of the tcon which actually is cheaper part but harder to obtain outside of a dealer repair
I don't mind trying to fix this myself as I'm good at restoring cars and electrics on them.
Tcon - what is that?!
I would start with the board also when you have it open check to make sure all the connectors are well sitted, it hardly ever is that simple but worth checking before ordering the board
sure that makes sense
of course with the power off and disconnect... (disclaimer....)
Best of luck hope this helps. and best wishes on the project
if you have any question please just let me know
thanks, XXXXX XXXXX question
for now :)
what is the Tcon?
and is there any checks I can do as well once get TV off the wall and apart?!
oh sorry timing control it is the board that drives the video signal to the panel ussually sealed up in behind all the other boards, and in many cases is sold as part of the panel
so in short I hope its the main board then!
as I presume Tcon is hard to get too
even though cheaper and harder to obtain!
the connectors are the most important ones with plastic being different types and the fact it is hot in the set they can sneak out, yes sometimes very hard to get to and ussualy almost impossible to get outside of a service center... in the case the board doesnt fix it call a local shop most of them outside of sears and best buy charge less then 50 for a diagnostic and some even apply it to the repair
Either way this is one of the best LCD on the market ... i own the LC-46d64 and love my sharp, i work on them that is why i own one
Should be worth the money to be repair
ok sounds good - I will get working on the TV over next few days and try the board replacement and see if that fixes it if not then onto repair person
yeah I agree
TV is great quality once you adjust the screen settings
thanks alo
I will update you in few days on the progress
have a good night if you have any other question just post it will alert me i will be on at least another 30 mins or so
you have been a great help
sure no problem
thanks again
thank you have a good night
speak soon on success on repairs :)
good night
sorry stupid system i have to be the last to reply or it keeps you as an alert that you have a comment i need to reply to they need to fix that but thanks again, and good luck
question for you, got the LCD TV cover off and power up looks like the I can see white light on the ends and through holes throughout the back of the unit, I presume this means the back lights are working. I've ordered new main board waiting for it to turn up
will I have to transfer anything over from old main board to new?!
Yeah your backlight is good then and it does sound like a bad main board, to warn you Tristate is a rebuilder and i would say for me 1 in 10 boards i get from a rebuilder though cheaper sometimes dont work or have a new issue, tristate is easy to work with but fair waming is all.
The board may need a few heat syncs moved but otherwise no simple enough
It will restart into factory mode so you will need to do a out of the box setup
will wait and see what I get them!!
worse case I can send back and order from another supplier
best of luck they ussually ship fast with in a few days to a week you should have it unless you order fast shipping... and your right worst case return reorder
ok on the factory mode
ok thanks alot
will keep you informed
best of luck and good hunting.

Got back from AR late last night. Did the 2 hours sleep thing and hit it this AM. For some reason our birds look better LOL!
We had a super time while there though the kid didn't shake out too well in The World Intermediates. Pulled a 9 spot, just plain got out-called, said he knew he was toast at the end of the first round. No mistakes and on his "A" Game and barely etched out a 2nd round. Those young men are awsome as were the adult callers in the World and The Champion of Champions.
The hunting was hit and miss. They are low on rainfall and in the makings of drought, so where there's water there's a few birds. Some of the CA bunch hunted Longnecks in MO before heading down to AR. Said it looked like the NE desert..
Got to do a timber hunt in the famous RNT hole where they've shot a lot of footage over the years. Pretty neat. That Jim Ronquest is one tough SOB. If you ever book a hunt back there I'd definitly consider him and RNT.
Got to see many old friends and met a lot of folks with duck passion from all over the Continent.
Spent Sunday evening watching the tornado line working it's way in our direction. It worked it's way north of us. Just got strong gusts.
Man that Peat Bog smelled good this morning! It's great to be back.

I live in Wisconsin in the country . If power fails in the winter we are the last to get repaired. Only the cities count.
So I have always had a wood burner and a pile of wood for a back up. It may not keep the whole house 70 when it 10 below but it will keep it liveable.
Two generators also. Have o use portable one if you install an house system property taxes go throw the roof.

Window replacement is one of the most common home improvements people make in any type of house, but it takes special skill to blend the repairs into an existing stucco surface.Looks are the least of it. Tying into the parts you can't see — the existing lath, flashings, and building paper — is a more serious challenge than making a good visual match. Metal lath gives the stucco structural integrity, and the building paper and flashings beneath the lath are the wall's last line of defense against water. It's difficult...

Lobos Snap up Two MW Outdoor Athlete of the Week Awards
April 10, 2012
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – New Mexico redshirt sophomore Kendall Spencer has been selected as the Mountain West Men's Outdoor Track & Field Athlete of the Week, while New Mexico senior Sarah Waldron has been named MW Women's Outdoor Track & Field Athletes of the Week.
Spencer, a product of San Mateo, Calif., set a new Mountain West all-time record in the men's long jump at the Don Kirby Tailwind Invitational last weekend in Albuquerque, N.M., posting a mark of 26'-8.25" (8.13m) to earn first-place honors in the event. Spencer's leap is second in New Mexico history, is an Olympic A Standard, and ranks first in the NCAA and third in the world in 2012.
Waldron, a native of Pudleston, England, set a new MW all-time record in the women's 10,000-meter race last weekend at the Stanford Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif., clocking a time of 32:35.07 to finish fourth overall in the event. Waldron's time is also a New Mexico program record, a personal-best performance, and ranks second in the country during the 2012 outdoor season.

Bluetooth issue after update
My 13' ATS originally had an issue with being able to read the USB drive. Technical dept. from cadillac said to replace the entire gauge cluster, which they did, and also fixed the problem. I was also having the HVAC tapping noise like many have mentioned, so a software update was made. Now, after all this, both displays (Gauge and radio without CUE) will go blank when placing or receiving a phone call.
Without a video, here it was happens:
-It will display XM logo, the channel #, and song info while driving (normal obviously)
-I get an incoming call. It shows contact info on the radio display only (still normal)
-I answer the call
-Instantly, both screens go black, then only display the XM logo and channel #
-Contact info will only show next to the OnStar logo on the gauge display (The OnStar logo is new since update)
While sending a call:
-Still normal driving display on both screens
-I send a phone call out from my phone
-Instantly both screens black out, then show XM logo, and channel #
-No song info or contact info ever shows up
I am being told this is "Normal after the update" and "All new ATS's will do this now" Which I don't believe one second. Before it showed on both screens, making OR receiving phone calls. Am I crazy to think something is wrong here? Is anyone else having the blank screen issue?
Re: Bluetooth issue after update
I have reached out to an internal resource of mine with your question. Will it be ok if I message you privately with their response when I get in the office on Tuesday? Thank you for your time and I look forward to updating you on Tuesday.

This seems to be the most appropriate thread.... I have a 2013 ATS with fairly recent CUE updates. My Galaxy S4 will stop streaming audio randomly, while using a Bluetooth connection. A droid Bionic and the direct audio cable does not.

Norwich City
J. Ruddy
Very confident display from the goalkeeper. Most of what he had to deal with was food and drink to him, but whenever he was called upon he did his job, and you cannot ask for much more.
S. Bassong
Looked comfortable when handling the isolated Giroud. Put in a composed performance alongside Turner.
Javier Garrido
Very good performance by the former Manchester City man. He did not offer much of a threat going forward, but defensively he was rock-solid. He had Gervinho in his back pocket, forcing the Ivorian to swap wings, and he prevented a number of crosses from getting into the penalty area.
R. Martin
Probably won't have many easier matches in the Premier League than this. Podolski gave the Scot very little to think about, while Arshavin hardly did much more after coming on.
M. Turner
The summer signing has not won many admirers since arriving and some sections of the Norwich support even greeted his name with boos before the match, but today he will have silenced a lot of the doubters. He won header after header, put in several blocks and threatened at the other end too.
B. Johnson
In possession, he was very neat for the most part and he did a good job at shielding his defence at times, but Arsenal's midfield were in control for much of the match. He had few answers for Cazorla when the Spaniard was on the ball, often resorting to fouling him, but otherwise he put in a good shift.
A. Tettey
Alongside Johnson, Tettey was tasked to be the more forward-thinking of the duo, and although he did not put in many defensive tackles, he was more effective going forward. His passing was accurate and the opening goal came after Mannone spilled his long-range shot. Powerful performance, and impressive.
W. Hoolahan
Very quiet before half-time, but burst into life after. The Irishman suddenly found a reserve of energy and was everywhere in the second half. His final ball was often wayward, but he forced Arteta back more than he would have liked.
A. Pilkington
The former Huddersfield man was very positive throughout, running at Jenkinson whenever given the opportunity to. He looked one of Norwich's most threatening players with his hassling of opponents and shooting, but he faded badly after the break.
E. Bennett
Looked lively early on, but he very rarely attacked Andre Santos and was disappointing in that respect. Eventually replaced by Snodgrass after a quiet start to the second half.
G. Holt
Has been looking a lot more like the player he was last season in recent weeks, and although he often looked isolated and lonely up front, he was not ineffective. He put himself about, constantly closed down the Arsenal defence, tussled with Mertesacker and grabbed himself a goal after gambling on Mannone spilling Tettey's shot.
V. Mannone
Looked shaky throughout the match, whether that was when the ball was played back to him on the floor, or when making saves. The Italian was at fault for Holt's goal, failing to hold on to Tettey's shot
T. Vermaelen
With Holt opting to try his luck against Mertesacker for most of the match, Vermaelen had little to deal with directly, but what he did have to defend he did with minimal fuss. The Belgian made several blocks to prevent crosses, as well as a number of clearing headers.
C. Jenkinson
The young full-back has been earning rave reviews from Gunners fans this season and he put in another good display. He was up against Pilkington who certainly gave him something to think about, but Jenkinson generally had the better of the duel.
P. Mertesacker
Had to contend with the physical Holt and did so with mixed success. The German managed to get a tackle in on several occasions, but he often seemed to shy away from clashes with him, while the English striker outpaced him to knock in the rebound from Tettey's powerful shot.
A. Ramsey
Full of running and was always in support of his team-mates in the centre, but like the rest of the Gunners' midfield he could not carve open many opportunities, with Olivier Giroud feeding off scraps.
The Spaniard always wanted the ball and generally used it well, while also produced some brilliant touches, but in terms of creating chances he was quiet and his set-piece deliveries were disappointing.
André Santos
The Brazilian was there to be got at as arguably the most obvious weak point in the Arsenal defence, but Elliott Bennett was rarely used, meaning Santos had a fairly quiet evening defensively. That lack of defensive responsibilities did not result in extra attacking impetus, however.
L. Podolski
Similarly to Gervinho, a rather disappointing performance from the German. He struggled to get involved out on the left-wing, and when he did Russell Martin was equal to him, meaning he was not able to supply a great deal for Giroud.
O. Giroud
Anonymous in the first half, but showed a little more hunger after the break. In the second period he was trying to get on the end of deliveries and passes more, although he was not having much more luck. In truth the supply to him was far from what you would expect of Arsenal, and there was not much he could do about that.
Y. Gervinho
His touch was off, and he failed to beat Garrido for the whole match and put in next to no crosses. Very disappointing performance from the Ivorian who had little impact.

To put it in perspective, the number of deaths due to mass murders by firearm pales in comparison to deaths from automobile accidents, tobacco, and cancer. Mass murderers are not something I'm really concerned with.
The United States doesn't have a firearms problem, we have a culture problem. Too many fatherless kids who care nothing about education and would rather live the thug life. That culture is responsible for the majority of murders with firearms. But of course the talking heads aren't going to call it like it is and will instead talk about the NRA and our love of guns being to blame.

Funny, you never have to wonder what is said and/or meant by a cab driver, a barber or a blacksmith, but as soon as a pseud-intellectual starts-up, the subject becomes...pretzel logic. It makes me wonder who's actually showing the most actual intellect!
There are only TWO kinds of people in this world; those who describe the world as filled with two kinds of people...and those who don't.
Wow, there's a lot of assumption, certainty and words masquerading as "fact" in that rag.Yeah. As if the "conflict and division" is the weaponry.Originally Posted by From the diatribe
On the street and in the real world, the practical definition of "conflict" is a bit different. Fine. Well, when the conflict ceases (that is, when robbers and murderers cease plying their murderous pursuits), then it might make sense to discuss who no longer needs what. In the meantime, the need for effective ability to resist violent attack is clear.

That selective quote right there disqualifies the guy from any serious intellectual consideration from me.

On top of that, he apparently is not a fan of free speech, or at least free speech that gets extremist Muslims PO'd.

Im looking into some entry level Autocrossing, I live in Delray beach, florida, near Moroso Motorsports park (which i believe holds autocrossing), and im pretty clueless as to how i go about getting involved.
any experienced Crossers available to talk to?
Check out this website (look for the calendar):
Also, look for your local Sports Car Club of America chapter. A google search for autocrosses in your area should help.
Moved to "Racing, Rally & Autocross"...
First off....
[welcome] to the wonderful world of AutoCrossing! [:D]
Second off...
I encourage you to read the extremely informative "stickies" we have at the top of this forum area.
Or, easier yet...
The Who's Who of Focus Autocrossers
A Novice Guide to Autocross
Allowable Mods by Class (Autocross)
Some quick suggestions off the top of my head for a "noob" to AutoCrossing:
1) Read the above threads. [;)]
Pay special attention to the "technical inspection" you'll go through before it's time to put the pedal to the metal.
2) Above all else, have FUN!!!
3) Don't get your expectations up in the clouds. (We all had to start somewhere)
This is an extremely technical sport.
Talk to folks that have done it a while.
You'll find more often than not, everyone's willing to chat with you and pass on many years of learned driving experience.
4) Don't worry about "mods" (suspension/engine/appearance)...
Run what ya brung, till you can't get anymore out of it.
At that time, you'll know instinctively what you need to change.
I will say though, good tires are a must.
Not race tires per say, but you don't want to head out on bald all-season tires with the cords showing. [eek]
I think i would have been better off IF my all season Fusions were bald....those things slip and slide like they are on greased glass.Tires are of utmost importance.Autocross is the most fun I have had since playing with cars,and that includes YEARS of drag racing.My goal is to make my last lap my best[driving]
definatley read the posted links above and find somebody to walk the course and do a ride along with. I found those to be the most helpful and imformative part of my first time out.
Welcome to the fold, brother!
There's always room for a new conehead.

The Christian Vote
Thank you Great State of Indiana for early voting. Anyone who knows me very long has learned I don't do lines. Waiting in line to vote this year was not something I was going to be up to, and voting early sure makes it easier.
This is the 10th Presidential election in which I have voted -- and I think 10 out of possible eleven is a good enough score (my apologies to President Bush and Senator Kerry last time around). If you're wondering, my first election was Johnson v. Goldwater. Apparently Goldwater was a conservative, although I hadn't heard of the term at the time. There was no particular issue back then as to whom "courted" the Christian's vote, everybody did. Every candidate for any office at very least made a public demonstration of attending church.
To the best of my recollection the Christian vote was not a particular issue until Jimmy Carter made it one. Now, of course, it's not called the Christian vote, but the "Conservative" vote (if you're being polite). Sometimes, being slightly less polite, it is the "right wing" vote; or, most demonstratively, the "extreme right wing" vote. Whatever you call it, apparently everyone running for office still wants it -- even though making a public proclamation of religions faith is no long a prerequisite for seeking the "Christian" vote.
It seems to me that a Christian, approaching any election as a Christian, has bound themselves by certain considerations.
For one, there is probably no candidate who believes exactly the same as me. What should I do, make a checklist of my personal doctrinal absolutes to which a candidate must adhere to get my vote? Best guess is there aren't three people in my own church who would pass such a litmus test.
And, there really is no absolute way of knowing "God's will." I'll concede God still speaks to man today. However, the written record indicates He speaks only to a few, not very often, and rarely about politics. The very best we can do is judge the candidate by whether we ourselves believe he or she will best do the work of the Lord. President Kennedy summed it up this way: "With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own."
Finally, bringing the most difficulty, the Christian voter is obligated to pray for and believe God has brought into office even the "wrong" person. This does not require agreement on all things, nor does it impose limitation on disagreements. It is only that a Christian voter, as a Christian, must continue to seek God that the poor, misguided elected official will come to see the "right."
This is not the place to say for whom I voted this time around. It is not for me to place the Brazil Times in any position which would make it appear to prefer one candidate over the other. More importantly, it is not for me to say -- writing as a Christian -- for whom you should vote. I certainly do not want to seem to speaking for God. But whoever wins will most certainly need our prayers -- especially if God doesn't get to the polls on time and early voters put the other guy in.

Citing the statement of Sri Sri, speculations have been surfaced asking, will the spiritual guru be able to bring peace in the country or will he be able to pursue the terrorists to quit terrorism with the help of AoL sessions?
Sri Sri claimed that he "could feel the urge among the Pakistan masses to find peace and end violence." Sri Sri also added, "There is a lot of violence in Pakistan and people are fed up, they want to live peacefully. If I could be of any help in bringing an end to the vicious cycle of violence, I am ready to talk to the Taliban."
While discussing about his experience with people in Pakistan, Sri Sri has been quoted as saying, "We are all sufferers of stress, tension, violence and hatred - and small ways of easing out are all that you need."
Expressing his hope for the peace and terror-free world, Sri Sri also claimed, "I am sure that in times to come better sense would prevail on all who were involved in violence and that peace would prevail everywhere."

Class, voting and broad left demography
One of the most historically accurate predictors of the way people vote in Australian elections has always been the notion of "class". At its most reductionist, working class voters
Apr 15, 2010
One of the most historically accurate predictors of the way people vote in Australian elections has always been the notion of "class". At its most reductionist, working class voters
One of the most historically accurate predictors of the way people vote in Australian elections has always been the notion of "class". At its most reductionist, working class voters generally support the ALP, owners of capital and employers generally support the Liberal Party and in the post-war years, rural Australia has generally supported anti-Labor candidates of various hues.
To a large extent that basic pattern still holds, but class structures are evolving to the point where many of the relationships we used to see are no longer as predictive as they once were.
For instance, manual labourers used to be the backbone of the Labor Party voting stock (that and the public service). The more manual labourers that lived in an electorate, generally, the larger was the ALP vote. Yet if we look at the electorate level results of the last election and compare the ALP primary vote with the proportion of people in the last Census that described their occupation as "Labourer", the relationship has pretty much broken down:
Historically, we would have expected to see that scatter plot producing a pattern that started from the bottom left and ended in the top right of the chart – signifying a strong positive correlation between the two. Now, however, it's almost a random cloud showing no correlation between manual labourers and the ALP primary vote at the electorate level.
There's all sorts of reasons for that, from the changing socio-economic mix of our urban electorates through to the changing nature of our economy itself.
Yet, despite historical relationships like this no longer turning up with electorate level data, there are some proxies for class that still dominate the electorate level data.
The biggest predictor of the Labor Party primary vote at the last election wasn't the usual suspects. It wasn't the proportion of the electorate that came from a non-English speaking background, it wasn't the proportion of the electorate that received family tax benefits, it wasn't the proportion of the electorate that worked for the public service.
The biggest predictor was an inverse relationship, and one that explained 55% of the variation in the Labor Party vote – it was the proportion of the electorate that classified themselves in the Census as working as a "Manager". The higher the proportion of managers in an electorate, the lower was the ALP primary vote.
If we run a scatter and regression line of the two for all 150 electorates, this is what we get:
For every 1% increase in the proportion of the electorate that worked as "Managers", the ALP vote decreased, on average, by 2.3%.
As you would expect, the Coalition experienced the opposite effect:
Although the strength of the effect was slightly weaker, with the proportion of the electorate working as "Managers" only explaining 37% of the variation of the Coalition primary vote, and where a 1% increase on the proportion of managers working in an electorate, the Coalition primary vote increased, on average, by 1.8%
The other interesting thing that pops up is where the Greens come into all this.
Why are the Greens strongest in the inner cities? What is the cause of Greens voters living in the inner cities?
One thing that may help explain it is occupation. If we use the census data to sum together the people in each electorate that work in the three categories of Arts & Recreation Services, Information Media & Telecommunications and Education – and then scatter that against the Greens primary vote across 150 electorates, this is what we get:
The proportion of people working in these three industry sectors explains 51% of the variation in the Green's primary vote. What really strikes me here, and makes me think it's more a causative result than a proxie for "something else", is the way that the linear relationship holds strongly across the entire spectrum of the Greens vote.
If we do the same thing again, but this time run a locally weighted polynomial regression (Loess curve) through the scatter as well, it will give us a non-linear trend line of the correlation between these industry employment types and the Greens vote as we move across the Greens vote spectrum from 2% through to nearly 23%.
The black line is our linear regression line, the red line is our loess curve – and I've adjusted the left axis scale here to visually maximise the difference between our two trend lines.
The loess curve sits very close to the linear regression line across the entire spectrum of the Green vote, telling us that the linear relationship isn't being skewed or distorted by some block of either Greens voters or industry workers. If the red line started diverging massively from the black line, it would tell us that the correlation isn't consistent across the whole spectrum as well as letting us know through what values the inconsistency exists.
But here there is only a very small divergence at around the 10% Greens vote mark, but then only maxing out at around 1% of the proportion of these industry workers before heading back to match the linear trend.
This is why I think there's some strong causative aspect to this relationship – the consistency across all electorates and across all values is so strong, from the lowest Greens voting electorates, through the bulk of the middle Greens voting electorates and into the top Greens voting electorates.
If there wasn't a causative aspect to this, but just, say, some generic correlation between the inner cities and the people that work in these particular industries, then we would expect to see the linear nature of the relationship break down as we moved away from the high Green voting seats and into the middle and low voting Green seats – we would expect to see the linear relationship breakdown as we move away from the inner city clusters of high Greens voting electorates.
But we don't – the linearity of the relationship remains consistent.
So what does this mean in practice?
For starters, a large part of the "cultural" aspect of Greens voters living together appears to come as a result of hard cultural issues such as their employment, rather than because of soft, vacuous stereotypes like the cultural pursuit of the perfect latte – the sort of nonsense promulgated by pop-demographers like Bernard Salt (a story of which I should tell you about one day – a question I asked him at the recent Qld population summit resulting in some horseshit about "Metropolitan Chauvinism" and latte drinkers living in West End. Ugh!).
People working in the arts, education, media and technology industries are more likely to vote Green, and as a result of the distribution of workplaces for these industries having a higher density in the inner suburbs, the people living within close proximity to their workplaces naturally leads to the inner cities having higher levels of Greens voters.
As the density of these industries reduces, so to does the Greens vote.
In one respect, it's just a modern evolution of class based electoral analysis – whereas the Labor vote used to correlate strongly with manufacturing and low skill, labour intensive industries – today, the Green vote correlates with new skilled services industries like arts, education, media and technology.
So it's not something particularly new, it's just a relatively new type of something that we've long seen at play in the Australian electorate.

The country singer - who has a two-year-old daughter, Sunday Rose, with the Oscar-winning actress - says Nicole is his ideal partner because they both have the same values in life.
He said: "I'm fortunate to have a wife who understands about career as well. We're very blessed to have each other, and you recognise the importance of all the facets of our lives. But family is very, very strong in our lives."
While Keith enjoys his music career, he says his family will always be his priority.
Talking about maintaining a balance between work and family, Keith told Parade.com: "I don't know if there's any secret to it. Everybody sort of finds their own way to keep their life balanced. I know for me, family is first and I just make sure that I spread my time amongst the things that I love to do as well. Balance is never achieved, it's just maintained. And so far I've been able to maintain it."

He said: "At home, I do a little bit of cooking. My wife and I share the cooking duties a little bit."

Top Fuel oil tank.....BOOM...long
I wasn't sure where to put this so move it if need be.
I build a lot of race car fuel and oil tanks. Most are made from .060 or .050 3003 aluminum. This one was .060. I use 4043 rod unless they are anodized. Even some of those get anodized even though there is a darker shade where they are welded. I use a square wave TIG welder. The tanks have rounded edges all around produced by using a form roller called a tank roll. 3/8" radius. The joint is a butt joint with a carefully fitted "0" gap. I spend a lot of time and effort to get very good fit up as most of the tanks will warp if there is any gap at all. I get really deep penetration but as with most TIG welded tanks there is still a seam visible on the inside. Gas welding is nice but a lost art. I'm going to a 4 day seminar in a couple weeks featuring gas welding aluminum. Anyway the weld is smooth and about 3/16 wide, consistant all around, no stuck electrodes, no holes melted thru, no other uglies. Blowing my horn I haven't had a tank leak after welding for a long time.
Now finally what happened. The tank in question is/was 12 x 12 x 9 inches with a 2 3/4" id vent tube. This is fixed at an angle and not capped. This tank is to capture oil and vent fumes from the motor...crankcase vent. The valve covers vent into the lower chassis tubes then are vented into this tank which vents fumes and captures oil. This type of tank is mandatory on all top fuel cars. So, the car is brand new, run only one warmup a week ago. No problems sounds very good. Last night it was warmed up in prep for a demo at a big local car show. During the warmup while running on alcohol the tank exploded. I mean big time. One side was blown completely out tearing the mount fastener right thru the welded tab. The other side was blown flat...ripped 3 sides totally out right down the weld. The band or center of the tank is stretched bigger than a bowling ball. Of course both sides are stretched in the same manner. This is the first time anyone has seen or heard of this happening but I would have to guess statistics would say it has happened before.
I tried to take pictures but they didn't come out worth posting. The seams split right down the center of the welds except for about 1 inch on the side blown out which ripped near the mount tab. I looked at the welds with a fairly high power magnifying glass and they appear to be stretched and ripped rather than a crystallized cracked area. They are thinned out and there are stress marks into the sheet skin. The bead itself is flattened some as though rolled or planished.
Now why did this happen?? Some information. The motor gets started on gasoline for about 30 sec then the alcohol is turned on. It runs several minutes at fast idle then the nitro is turned on about 1/2 to continue the warm up. Quite a bit of fuel mix gets into the oil pan during the warmup. Sometimes you can see the vapor come out of the catch tank. Since this was brand new, there was no oil in the tank at all. Once oil gets into it, it is very hard to get it all cleaned out. This tank was bone dry after the explosion.
The exact duplicate of the car (and tank) lives in the next stall at the shop. It has had numerous oil venting due to burned pistons and motor catastrophic distructions and the tank is still there in one piece and same shape.
Obviously there was a fume explosion but what set it off???? Maybe metal chips in the chassis tube caused a spark??? Static electricity from the rotating tires?? Something else???
Techinspector let's hear from you.
Any chance that what happened was actually a "minor" crankcase explosion that sought "the path of least resistance"? The pulse of exploding gases may have blown along the vent tube until it reached the puke tank and compressed the fumes in there and and "boom". Just a thot.....
I got a little more information on this today from the team back at the shop.
The 'event' happened about 5 minutes into the alcohol part of the warmup. The motor runs about 2800 rpm. It 'popped' or miss fired then the tank blew up. They continued the warmup and switched to the nitro for another 10 minutes and shut the motor off. At the show they ran another complete warmup without the tank. Here the #8 cylinder was blowing much more smoke than the other cylinders.
These motors smoke a little as they start and warm up then they dry up as we say. So we have the first clue something is amiss.
So tonight back at the shop we started to look things over. The crew just wanted to write it off but I being the dad of 3 generations of crewmembers on car insisted they get to the root cause of this as there really isn't anything that could cause a spark to set the fuel vapors off under normal conditions. I've only been in top fuel 40 years so I felt I had a point. I told them to take the valve covers off and run the valve adjustment which they should have already done but had not.
5 minutes later crewchief son says "hey we have a damaged pushrod on #8 intake". Looking at the pushrod it was blue/black on the top end and the adjuster on the rocker arm is missing the ball and the end of the adjuster smashed badly as well as the rocker arm.
Damaging an intake valve or any part of it can easily cause a blower explosion roughly equavalent to a grenade with many more pounds of shrapnel. Very bad situation.
Well the pushrods are made of high quality hardened tool steel. D-2 I think as is the adjuster and it's ball end. Tool steel sparks very nicely when ground, or 2 sharp edges struck hard together or abrasive rubbed against it. All 3 likely happened very quickly here.
So when the adjuster broke it caused a number of sparks and lit off the fuel vapors inside the motor. I think the flame traveled down the chassis tube to the tank where it encountered more vapors and lit them off too, thus blowing the tank.
I looked much more closlely at the tank welds tonight too. Except for the first 2 inches which are 100 percent or very close but no weld bead, the rest were full pen with a bead. I always purge these tanks with argon too. An old aircraft maint guy told me to preheat to about 150 deg F at the start too so the weld is not on cold metal and it tends to drive off moisture. I do this and measure using my infrared heat gun. It does work quite well if you measure at very close range. Obviously a lot of pressure was inside this tank when it blew up.
So I think we have a reasonable cause. Spark ignition of the fuel vapor in the motor by the damaged pushrod and rocker arm.
Very good comment Dave75210. Failure analyst is a very good profession if you choose.

India.Arie is back in the limelight but not for the reasons one would hope. The reclusive soul singer has filed a counter lawsuit against her former manager Noreen Nalli, whom she employed from 2005 to 2006 reports TMZ.
The paperwork comes in response to a suit Nalli filed in federal court in Tennessee claiming rights to money that Arie doesn't necessarily owe her but for money Arie lost for not being cooperative and proactive about her own career.
Nalli claims that the Grammy Award-winning singer sabotaged herself by doing things like refusing gigs, canceling numerous shows on a whim and going M.I.A. for weeks at a time which Nalli says cost both Arie and herself a lot of money. On top of all that Nalli claims that India fired her without any notice.
The former manager is upset about all the money she lost dealing with the unmanageable star and Arie is seeking to prove that Nalli was overpaid.
A rep for India told TMZ that "she remains hopeful that the matter will be resolved amicably."

President Barack Obama, in a rallying call to his Democratic base, will vow on Monday to veto any cuts in Medicare if Congress fails to raise taxes on corporations and wealthy Americans to curb the U.S. deficit.
Mr. Obama's recommendations to a congressional "super committee" would deliver deficit savings of more than $3-trillion over the next decade, his aides said, with roughly half of those savings coming from higher tax revenues.
Under fire from Democrats to defend Medicare and Medicaid health-care programs as he seeks to galvanize supporters ahead of the election next year, Obama will demand that all Americans share the burden of controlling the budget.
"He will veto any bill that takes one dime from the Medicare benefits seniors rely on without asking the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations to pay their fair share," a senior administration official told reporters.
Medicare, for elderly and disabled Americans, and Medicaid for the poor, are viewed by analysts as the biggest contributors to the long-term U.S deficit.
The so-called super committee of six Democrat and six Republican lawmakers is seeking at least $1.2-trillion in new budget savings by Nov. 23. That is on top of $917-billion in 10-year savings agreed in an August deal to raise the U.S. debt limit.
Mr. Obama will lay out his recommendations in the White House Rose Garden at 10.30 a.m. on Monday.
"In his remarks tomorrow, the president will make clear he is not going to support any plan that asks everything of some Americans, nothing of others," the official said.
The plan will include a "Buffett Rule," named after billionaire investor Warren Buffett, that would set a minimum tax rate for anyone making more than $1-million a year.
A clearly populist step, the tax would only apply to a tiny minority of the millions of Americans who file tax returns every year. But White House aides said it would set a standard of fairness that would yield more revenue if it became law.
Congress can ignore his suggestions. With the House of Representatives controlled by Republicans who oppose any tax hikes, they are likely to be declared dead on arrival.
Mr. Obama's opening bid to find deficit savings by Dec. 23 to head off painful automatic cuts will be under close scrutiny.
Investors want evidence that the political process in Washington is capable of tackling the towering U.S. deficit and the country's mounting debts, after ratings agency Standard and Poor's cut the U.S. AAA rating in August.Report Typo/Error
