Race Driving Techniques - Team Communication - Driver Input Techniques
Methods And Suggestions For Driver Communication
In real estate, it's all about location. In racing, it's all about communication. Probably the key ingredient in building a winning team is to have quality communication, and the flow of information between driver and crew is where it all begins.
Nearly every race car must be tweaked, no matter how good the setup appears. If the car is terrible, the level of intensity for communication goes up several notches. The driver is the single individual that must take the setup he is provided and do the best job he is capable of doing, and with that, be able to tell the crew exactly what the car is doing, right or wrong.
To be truly successful, the driver must have a hand in the process and decisions that will ultimately determine the way the car is set up. There are certain rules and procedures for proper and efficient communication between the driver and the crew. Here are a few ideas that might help your team's flow of information.
Preparation and Team Goals A team that communicates well is usually more organized, better prepared, and more efficient than its competitors. There are many varied areas in the whole racing operation where improved communication will benefit the team and enhance the chances for success. Driver communication is at the top of that list.
The driver has a responsibility to communicate effectively with the crew. The process starts with constructing the car for individual driver preferences on issues such as pedal placement, steering wheel position, seat angle and position, seatbelt adjustment, gauge placement, the extent and quality of safety equipment used, and any other matter that concerns the driver's comfort.
A set of goals and expectations must be established before the car ever hits the track. The driver and crew should anticipate the track conditions and set up the car accordingly. For dirt teams, this means knowing how the track crew prepares the surface at this particular track, how much grip it may have initially, and how the grip will change over the course of the event.
It is always a plus for the driver to communicate with other drivers about track conditions or problems with certain parts of the track. They should ask questions such as, "My car is always loose off Turn 4, has that happened to you?" Or they should make an introductory statement such as, "I was following you through 4 and noticed that you looked loose off. My car was doing the same thing. It must be the track because I'm OK in Turn 2."
Once practice comes around, the driver needs to fully understand how the car is set up and have a good idea of how it should feel. The practice session is intended to be an opportunity for him to compare how it does feel to how he anticipated it to feel.
Problems in Testing/Practice Brake bias, steering ratios, and basic handling problems can all be addressed when the driver knows how to communicate accurately and honestly about how the car behaves during practice. The driver/spotter communication back to the crewchief is critical during these practice sessions.
A team needs to find a spotter who is experienced and is acceptable to the driver. Usually this is a close friend, family member, or someone trusted by the driver to help provide quick and accurate information about the car that the driver might not be able to see or be otherwise aware of. Tire smoke, oil or debris on the track, or a slow car ahead are typical bits of information that a spotter can provide to help the driver.
Along with those environmental issues, the spotter also needs to be aware of basic handling issues associated with how the car looks on the racetrack and how the driver needs to drive the car.
Examples:1. The driver is making a diamond turn in the middle, showing that the car might be tight.
2. The front wheels are turned excessively, which means that the car is tight.
3. The car snaps loose just after the front wheels have been turned too much, indicating a tight/loose condition.
4. Mid-turn segment times are slow, indicating a handling problem (assuming that someone is timing segments).
5. The car is not entering the turns as deep as the competition, meaning entry handling might be suspect.
6. Other cars pull away down the straightaway, which tells us that the engine performance might be off (so we can look beyond the setup to find the three tenths we are slower).
The quicker we can identify potential problems, the sooner we can fix them and fine-tune the setup.
This type of information is shared with the driver. Together, they can sort out what the problems might be and come to an agreement as to a solution. Here is a list of potential problems.
BrakesThe bias might be off, causing a loose or tight condition on entry to the corner. Solve entry problems first. The determinant is the handling. Compare floating the car in using little braking to doing an entry using much more braking to see if there is a difference in handling. If there is no difference, then the problem is probably rear steer or shock related.
ShocksIncorrect shock rates can cause entry and exit problems. The use of shocks to tune the handling is of no use if the basic mid-turn handling has not been sorted out and refined. The driver must be aware of how the car is diving and rolling under normal conditions and then be able to report when this changes, due to a possible broken shock.
I have seen cases where a driver could not tell when a right front shock had locked up and would not move. That is the most basic form of feel and feedback that is required of a driver. If you don't know when a corner of the car has quit moving, it is time for sensitivity training.
SteeringThe driver has the steering wheel in hand for the entire practice session and should be memorizing what he has to do with that wheel throughout the lap. If, while running at speed, he needs to do something far different than when warming up the rearend grease at slow speed, that is a clue that something is wrong.
We can tell a lot about the setup just by looking at the driver's hand position related to how much he turns the wheel. A Sprint Car driver that had to turn the wheel right to go straight (when the car was going straight ahead) could tell they had an extremely bad roll steer problem.
PowerIf we are three tenths off in lap times but right with the fastest cars in turn segment times, then we need to look to the engine for the problem, not setup. The spotter can get segment times easily. Turn segments are easier.
You only need the turn times. Compare them with other fast cars to know whether you have a setup problem or a motor problem. I've been two tenths faster per turn but three tenths slow on total lap times. Our 9:1 engine was being starved for fuel. Once we fed it more fuel, it came alive. Without knowing where the problem lay, we would have probably chased the setup, ruining the good setup we already had.
TiresIf your car is on a rail with no problems with balance and it is fast, and then the setup suddenly goes away after you have changed tires, don't blame the setup. When the handling goes away, make sure that it isn't because of a hard tire or a mismatched set. Always suspect the tires and try another set right away without changing any setup parameters.
I have experienced many cases where a bad set of tires completely changed the setup balance for the worse. I have recently communicated with racers who experienced the same thing, even with new tires. Try to pick your tires with matching batch numbers. Take a durometer gauge with you when choosing tires. A hard tire will show up on the meter.
Basic SetupBe immediately aware of basic handling problems once you get the car up to speed. Don't make 10 laps or more with a car that is way out of whack. All you will do is overheat a tire and cause more problems with excess tire heat and wear.
Come in and discuss the problem, come to a solution, make an adjustment, and then return to the track to evaluate the change. Do all of this quickly until the car is close. Then, and only then, make 10 lap runs to decide on fine-tuning steps.
Race FeedbackFrom the moment the green flag drops, the driver should be aware of the balance of the car at all critical points on the track. As the race progresses, there may be an opportunity to come in and make a change without losing a lap. If it is late in a long race, there may be fewer cars on the lead lap, allowing for a better chance to make it back to the front.
If no changes are possible, at the very least the crew can confer after the race is over on possible solutions to the handling problems. Here is where precise and complete disclosure of information is badly needed. Sometimes there might be a difference between the used practice tires and new ones that is consistent and can be anticipated in advance.
It may be that the track conditions have changed and affected the setup. Again, a solution can be found for future races. In that event, the race was a refined practice session that can have positive results as long as information was derived from it.
Sometimes it all comes down to the fact that the driver did not run as hard in practice as in the race. Handling is g-force sensitive. If the car is run harder in one session than the other, there may be a difference in balance between the two. Great drivers run practice just like the race-as hard as possible. They are then able to trust the feel of the car related to how it will feel under race conditions.
Experience And ChemistryThe art of communication is developed over time. The more experience a team has and the more time they spend together, the better their communication skills should be. If the communication is getting worse, then adjustments must be made in either the process or the personnel.
Chemistry is often the key ingredient. Personalities must be taken into consideration. Some folks just get along and think alike, and some don't. That is just human nature. The sooner a team owner figures out that his team has good communication skills or not, the better he can determine the chances of success for that team.
Young drivers and old crewchiefs may be a problem because of the generation gap. That is not necessarily true in all cases, but it can be a factor. The legendary Dick Anderson has teamed up with Jason Boyd, a young and rising talent, to a degree of success. They get along and respect each other, and that works.
Remember that the most successful drivers, especially those who have risen to the top in the Nextel Cup series, all have one thing in common that helped propel them through the years, and that is a refined sense of feel for the car and the ability to communicate that back to the team. If your driver insists on you figuring out the problem with little or useless feedback from him, then it is time to speak up and make him understand the damage he does.
Remind your driver that we can all see the Nextel Cup drivers on TV talking with the crewchief and constantly communicating how the car feels and what the driver thinks should be done. Have you ever wondered why some drivers make it and some don't? The answer is communication-plain and simple.

AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Celebrities and well-heeled Formula One fans from around the world hit art shows, book signings, fashion shows and parties this weekend in the Texas capital that is hosting the first U.S. Grand Prix in five years.
The glittering off-track events to celebrate Sunday's Formula 1 race are a change of pace from the gritty, hip gatherings that typically accompany the city's well-known extravaganzas such as Austin City Limits Music Festival and the South by Southwest film, music and interactive festivals.
"The response has been extraordinary, surpassing even our most confident expectation," said Nicholas Frankl, who has produced Formula One parties in Monaco, Cannes, Abu Dhabi, Miami and London.
Frankl's bash at the downtown Ballet Austin complex, with ticket prices ranging to more than $9,000, featured gold-infused Comte de Mazeray bottles of champagne. New and vintage Lamborghinis lined the event's parking lot.
At the Full Tilt Fashion Show at the W Hotel, attendees paying $300 got a champagne and cocktail brunch, a see-and-be-seen red-carpet entrance and a show with designs by Hugo Boss, Versace and Austin designer Linda Asaf.
"It becomes like an intercultural exchange," said designer Paulo Moore, an Austin resident originally from Argentina who also has lived in Switzerland and Monaco. "I feel like I'm a citizen of the world and is opening this huge window so we can cater to and accommodate different people."
More than 100,000 spectators were expected to watch the race, according to the Austin American-Statesman, which also quoted a race official as saying some 120,000 tickets had been sold as of Thursday.
Frankl said three-quarters of the attendees were from out-of-town or international.
Circuit Of The Americas, which is hosting the Formula One U.S. Grand Prix, said celebrities expected to attend included filmmakers George Lucas and Ron Howard, actors Kyle Chandler, Luke Wilson, Patrick Dempsey and Matthew LeBlanc, musician Enrique Iglesias and former U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly.
Many VIP attendees were arriving by helicopter to the six helipads at the $400 million Circuit Of The Americas facility, arranged by Charlie Bravo Charter, whose owner said 500 flights were scheduled for the weekend.
Formula One legend Mario Andretti was one of those who arrived by helicopter. Andretti, 72, said although the track has the best design for spectators that he has seen, he doesn't expect a "big wow" from foreign visitors.
"The Formula One contingent is very used to being in the Taj Mahal," said Andretti, a Circuit Of The Americas ambassador. "Nothing is going to impress them."

This low carb taco pie is ridiculously easy to make and incredibly delicious – a perfect weeknight dinner. Use your favourite taco seasoning and adjust the heat to your liking. The whole family loves this easy keto dinner recipe.
And since it's such a favorite among keto dieters, I decided the blog post needed a little facelift. New photos, new commentary, and an instructional video to show you just how easy it is to make.
How to Make Taco Pie
What makes this taco pie recipe so great?
I first wrote this recipe in 2014. It seemed pretty basic at the time and I wasn't sure how it would be received. It's not like there aren't similar ideas and recipes out there. I think perhaps the most famous is the Betty Crocker version. But that recipe takes Bisquick. Other versions from Pillsbury and Kraft take croissants or tortillas to bulk them up.
This recipe is also featured in my cookbook The Everyday Ketogenic Kitchen. On sale now at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Costco and other independent bookstores!
Now go make some ridiculously easy Taco Pie. A hit with the whole family!

- 1 lb ground beef
- 3 tbsp taco seasoning or one packet taco seasoning
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese I used Cabot Chipotle Cheddar for an extra kick!
Preheat oven to 350F and grease a glass or ceramic 9-inch pie pan.
Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, about 7 minutes, breaking up clumps with the back of a wooden spoon.
Add taco seasoning and stir until combined, then reduce heat to medium low and cook a few minutes longer until sauce is thickened.
Spread beef in prepared pie pan.
In a large bowl, combine eggs, cream, garlic, salt and pepper. Pour over beef.
Sprinkle with shredded cheese and bake 30 minutes, or until centre is set and cheese is browned.
Remove and let sit 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Top with sour cream, chopped tomatoes and chopped avocado, if desired.
Serves 8. Each serving has 2 g of carbs.

I've been trying the whole evening to programatically add rows to my DataGridView but I can't seem to get it working I tried lots of differents ways but none of them seem to be working.
I get no errors, everything looks fine.
I have a WinForm, I added a DataGridView, bound a DataSource to it (table from a SQL 2008 connection).
The data shows up in it, everything is fine but I want to process the data before showing it, so I want to programatically add rows myself.
Here's what I tried so far:
string[] rowArray = new string[]{ "Test", "Test", "Test" };
int newRowIndex = dataGridView.RowCount - 1;
DataGridViewRow newRow = dataGridView.Rows[newRowIndex];
newRow.Cells["PurchaseOrderId"].Value = "Test";
newRow.Cells["SupplierId"].Value = "Test";
newRow.Cells["State"].Value = "Test";
DataRow newRow = purchaseOrders.NewRow(); // purchaseOrders = this.purchaseOrderManagerDataSet.PurchaseOrders
newRow["PurchaseOrderId"] = "Test";
newRow["SupplierId"] = "Test";
newRow["State"] = "Test";
None of them adds something to the DataGridView.
Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks a lot!

As for an update on our status. Jamie and baby continue to remain the same, which is the best we can ask for now. We thank everyone for the help, food, company, etc.
During our date night last night, we were planning on watching a movie and relaxing, but instead we had the opportunity to have a wheelchair ride (Jamie's 1st trip out of her room since Monday) as well as a tour of the neonatal ICU. It was very impressive and they obviosuly know what they are doing. Of the 50 rooms they have, one of them will be for our little peanut once she is born. They are private rooms with a couch (bed) for mom and dad to spend time with her.
In other news, the naming game just moved into overdrive. Since most all nurses have asked if we have a name picked out, I figure I should do my part to start searching. Baby Name Wizard is my new favorite website!
Until the next update.... Enjoy your Memorial Day holiday.

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 on the PC allows players to play through 24 story events and return to Hogwarts where there are 16 different lessons to attend. Learn and use all new charms and spells including the Unforgivable Curses and master advanced dueling skills to defeat Voldemort's Death Eaters as you battle toward the ultimate showdown with the Dark Lord himself. Discover and unlock over 80 characters including, Fenrir Greyback, Bellatrix Lestrange & Professor Horace Slughorn. Players also have the option to play with friends and the family using easy drop-in/drop-out co-op play.
Super Gamer Dude
PC Games
Lego Harry Potter 5-7 for the PC takes Harry through a series of challenges and missions on a quest to stop the evil Lord Voldemort, the Dark Lord, who is back, and Harry suddenly has the realization that he is actually connected to Voldemort. Later the Ministry of Magic decides to try and take appropriate steps in order to stop the potential threat that this imposes.
As you progress through the game you are presented with Lego style characters which represent numerous personalities which are to be found in the Harry Potter movies and books. Unfortunately, if you have played the previous title which is called Lego Harry Potter 1-4, you may feel like this is a rerun of this first encounter. A lot of the mission styles and gameplay are like the original, although to the maker's credit, the storyline is well presented and this enables users to feel like they are following the books or films closely. When most levels end you are presented with a cut scene, a cinematic storyline which enables users to follow the story with relative ease as the game progresses.
You may decide to roam through Hogwarts you can learn an array of spells, which in turn enable Harry to be able to construct items as well as destroy them, via the use of the wand. These include Curses and Charms. You will also have to undergo training in order to defeat various creatures which you encounter in the game, such as the Death Eaters for example. Within the game there are 24 stories to unlock and also 16 classrooms to attend in order to unlock the full attributes that Harry possesses.
During gameplay you will come into contact with over 200 different characters as you progress, and each one is very finely detailed, and on top of this you also have the option of split screen, enabling players to switch between a jump in and jump out style of gameplay. This is mainly designed to allow more than one player to play the game, multiplayer if you will.
The graphics in Lego Harry Potter 5-7 are very sharp, sparks fly in various colors like a projectile from the wand and the shiny Lego characters really do add to the game's overall experience. I should also add that this game is based on the last 4 books created in the Harry Potter series, and the actual Hogwarts is a representation of the Hogwarts in Deathly Hallows Part 2 the film.
If you are looking to venture into the first 4 books then perhaps you should pickup the previous title Lego Harry Potter 1-4. Overall this is by far one of the best in the series of Lego games which seem to be springing up in leaps and bounds.
Lego Harry Potter 5-7 unfortunately did not differ greatly enough from the first title to be a really impressive game. You will find lots of enjoyment here but the makers should have tried harder to expand the overall style and playability so offering something different to the first. The levels are very similar to the original release, but they do follow on from the original game story with some much improved cinematic cut scenes thrown in which does improve the general appeal of the game.

All in 1 - Mission Impossible USB
Posted 30 July 2010 - 06:34 AM
Becos as off now have been testing each of the iso which i put in the MIUSB by starting the PC, and it's not good to constantly start and restart the PC.
Posted 30 July 2010 - 06:39 AM
Posted 30 July 2010 - 09:38 AM
Thank you Wile.E.Warrigal for Moba.........
I had tried Moba Live CD before, but was wondering does it really do a emulation of an MIUSB.
In VMWare if we use a bootable DVD (real DVD) and it doesn't work there, than it doesnt work in real environment.
Is Moba doing the same way. The reason i asked is bcos say one uses Moba and tests around say 20-30 iso's and than when you really need to use it in a real environment for some emergency it just doesn't boot. Big trouble.
I know this is a tough question, but from people's experience has Moba done the work (emulation) and in real environment it has failed. Anybody has experienced such a scenario
EDIT:- Also is Moba slow for other's too bcos of QEMU (i had read somwhere QEMU is slow), or is it only the case with my 1 TB HDD.
Posted 30 July 2010 - 10:19 AM
Most Virtual machines normally use some "tricks" OS specific, to speed up things.
There is NOTHING that can tell you if something will work on specific machine "A" if not actual testing on specific machine "A".
Moba is an additional "shortcut", use the "real" thing, Qemu (+ Qemu Manager):
which is more updated and much more "customizable".
But, again, you won't have EVER "100% certainty".
READ here:
Posted 30 July 2010 - 01:33 PM
Tried to follow the VirtualBox commandline to get
No success
Any other way, other than QEMU to test the MIUSB, even if it doesnt test the bootability (that is fine), it doesnt matter, i have done the too many times in the last few hours. Basically just wanted to test each of the ISOes lying in the USB (meaning whether the menu.lst command for each ISO works from the USB
Posted 30 July 2010 - 02:15 PM
Okay, success , managed to boot the MIUSB 1 TB in VMWare and it is fast (say approx 120 secs and was already installing the Win 7 on the virtual hardirve).
PLoP + VMWare
Used PLoP to boot the VMWare, chose USB, and the 1TB booted directly. Now atleast i can test each of the ISOes inside the 1 TB (for defragmentation error60, error 15, menu.lst commands being proper etc).
Wonko The Sane needed your opinion on this. With this method what are the "cons" (disadvantages), other than not being able to test it on a specific machine. Meaning what are the chances that the particular ISO (lying in the MIUSB) will fail under physical PC conditions, if i can test and a particular ISO works fine (no defragmentation, error 60, no problem while loading via menu.lst commands, menu.lst commands are proper) under VMWare environment.
Posted 05 August 2010 - 12:33 PM
Just letting you know that BT4 has been updated BT4 R1 release HERE and it is nearly a 2GB file now ;( any plans on implementing this in MIUSB? will take me nearly a week to DL it and try, so figured would see if anyone else is going to test it out.. hopefully same menu.lst code would be applied.. but not sure..
Also, just wondered.. why use bt3 and 4? trying to read on site the diff, but just figured would ask.. guessing that there is some older stuff in bt3 that 4 doesnt use or maybe due to platforms?
Anyway, be nice to see if someone gets new one to work and what the menu code needed and steps if any taken to make work.

formatting it ntfs solves the windows xp problems, also works fine for some other things too but it totally messes up the workings of stuff like hbcd and ubcd.
i've looked around and as far as i can tell these things need to be run in the proper filesystems for them to work correctly (correct me if i'm wrong). my solution to this would be to partition the usb and have both a fat32 and an ntfs partition to get things to run properly.
usb sticks can be a bit tricky to partition tho, windows dosn't recognize more then the first partition on any removable media. the way around this is to make your usb sticks appear as fixed disks, there are tools to flip the fixed/removable bit on sticks out there but only a limited variety of models are supported a more sure-fire way is to do the following (this is only for xp machines):
- open regedit and goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\USBSTOR
- as subfolders to USBSTOR you should have identifiers to any usb sticks you might use, there is one for every one of them. find the one of the usb device you want to turn to fixed, right click and select "copy key name"
- open a noteped, paste the keyname, you only need the part beginning from \USBSTOR\...
- download the driver from http://xpefiles.com/...e/entry616.aspx and unpack it
- edit cfadisk.inf
- on every line that starts with %Microdrive_devdesc% replace starting from IDE\... with the key from the notepad (USBSTOR\...)
(ex: %Microdrive_devdesc% = cfadisk_install,USBSTOR\Disk&Ven_A-DATA&Prod_USB_Flash_Drive&Rev_0.00
- go to control panel -> system -> hardware -> device manager and under disk drives find your usb. right ckick -> update driver -> install from a list or specific location -> don't search. i will choose the driver to install -> have disk -> browse -> and search for cfadisk.inf (that now contains the modified lines)
- click yes to any questions, hit finish at the end and restart your computer.
your usb should now be listed as a fixed drive allowing you to use any normal partitioning tool to partition it (in two in our case for an ntfs and a fat 32 partition)
remember tho that this tweak only affects the windows installation it is done in, the stick will still be seen as removable on any other machine and since windows only sees the first partition on removable drives i'd advise you to put your most important stuff there and keep only the software that needs a different file system on the second. for example i plan to have my first partition as ntfs and keep everything there except ubcd/hbcd which goes on the second fat32 partition.

This is a great tutorial and I wanted to say thank you! Has anyone have trouble using scandisk usb drives? I'm wondering if the U3 partion messes anything up? Any imput would be great!
Posted 25 October 2011 - 02:33 PM
hey Hardcorepber- I am using a 16gb Scandisk flash drive with no real problem.
quick question:
In the tutorial we are using Hiren's Boot CD 10.6. I'm running into trouble using Hiren's Boot CD 14.1. there seems to be no boot.gz file in the 14.1 version. Has anyone found a method (or menu.lst code) to integrate the latest Hiren's Boot CD 14.1 into the Mission Impossible USB?
Also I went through and added windows 7 32 bit repair CD, Windows 7 64 bit repair CD , Windows vista repair CD, UBCD (has Partition Magic 6.6already installed with it), and an updated Partition Wizard 7 to the MIUSB and all work fine. (all of these are drag and drop ISOs in the root folder and adding them to the menu.lst)
Still testing other ISO's and will comprise a list of the ones you can just add to the MIUSB and change the menu.lst.
once again excellent excellent program.

Out of curiosity, is it an official policy of the Peace Corps (WHICH Peace Corps, BTW?) to use WAREZ releases?
Posted 25 October 2011 - 05:43 PM
The country I'm serving in has no copyright laws.
and yeah we arent really suppose to be giving out our location....especially over the internet (safety and security issue). If you are truly interested though just DM me or something.

Thanks! so I went through the website and made some changes to the code they offered and got Hirens Boot CD 14.1 to run! thinking about trying the same technique with 14.1 rebuild 2.0 (just cuz the rebuild adds back older tools as well as things 14.1 was missing). here are the steps I took:
-placed the HBCD folder in root directory of the flash
-opened up the MIUSB menu.lst and changed the Hiren's Entry there to this:
title Hiren's Boot CD 14.1.1nA The Goods find --set-root/HBCD/menu.lst configfile /HBCD/menu.lst boot
Everything ran and worked fine.

CULTURE- ART FEATURE- Getting seamy: Grahame reaps what she sews
It feels like one of those zeitgeist moments. Currently, three shows in town feature work by non-fabric artists who, nevertheless, use stitchery as an element in their compositions. Marie Mennes' embroidered paintings at PVCC are a highlight of its "Wonder Women" exhibition, while several of Anne Chestnut's prints at Les Yeux du Monde feature sewing.
Janet Grahame also knows a thing or two about non-traditional needlework. For years, Grahame has used tight machine stitching to piece together— or to give the illusion of piecing together— snippets of etchings and monoprints, creating crazy quilt-like abstract works that become more wondrous the closer the viewer looks. Grahame's exhibition at the McGuffey Art Center, "Personal Nature," which also includes several acrylic paintings on canvas, provides a tour de force overview of her unique aesthetic.
The kaleidoscopic way Grahame divides up her images and the exuberant quality of her lines call to mind Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinksy. And like them, she clearly loves color, although she sometimes veers toward a Rainbow Brite/My Little Pony palette— rife with yellow greens, lilacs, and aquas— made even more sugary by the artist's penchant for shiny thread and textured sparkly bits.
But that's a minor and entirely subjective complaint. What amazes about Grahame's work is the mind-boggling detail in each piece. Looking closely at Grahame's stitched paper compositions, the viewer's eye keeps moving and discovering surprises and small treasures. In the bottom left corner of "Postcards of Nelson County," for instance, Grahame includes a cascade of loose teal stitches like a small rill in a creek. Elsewhere she subtly sews color into printed shapes.
One of the strongest pieces in the show is "C-ville with Satellite Dishes," which shifts– barely– from pure abstraction to a collaged aerial view of a street scene. In the upper left, circular shapes representing rooftop satellite dishes find balance on the lower right in Grahame's interpretation of the familiar spherical planters from the Downtown Mall. The stitch-framed windows with carnival glass-colored panes, running the length of an industrial building, are particularly wonderful. Here Grahame's palette is saturated and intense, yet still spans the spectrum.
The acrylic paintings on display echo the aesthetic of Grahame's sewn collages, but several have diffuse outer edges that detract from the linear impact of their central images. Where Grahame really shines (even when it's shiny) is when she takes needle and thread to printed paper.
Janet Grahame's exhibition of paintings and print collages, "Personal Nature," is on view at the McGuffey Art Centery through March 30. 201 Second St. NW. 295-7973.

By John Drachman, Social Media Memo
Q: Can agents and advisors use social media for actual client acquisition; and, if so, how?
Amy McIlwain: There is an ongoing debate within the financial industry as to whether social media marketing has a measurable return on investment (ROI). While there are multiple ways to measure the benefits of social media, it's just not as simple as looking for a direct sales return on the consumer end, with a social media effort being made on the business marketing end. Social media is so much more than a marketing tool.
Social media encompasses public relations, customer support, thought leadership, community relations, and much more. Companies that are making progress in their social activities are seeing comments, interactions, responses and the like.
As a result, they are also seeing business metrics moving: downloads, email registrations, client retention, decreased marketing expenses, increased brand awareness and revenue growth.
For financial professionals utilizing social media, it's important that they realize how beneficial social media is in building and nurturing relationships. When it comes to selling financial products trust is essential and trust takes time.
This is exactly why it is so difficult to acquire clients directly from social media outlets.
Your goal as an advisor should be to position yourself and your company as an expert in your field by providing content that is of interest or adds value to your clients, insomuch earning their trust and eventually their sale.
Q: But how can you tell if it's working?
Amy McIlwain: Smart tracking and measuring through online analytics programs will allow you to see the amount of traffic your posts, blogs and content are getting.
If you see some topics getting more hits, comments and interaction than others, change your content strategy to keep your online traffic high. As a result of increasing traffic numbers and online interaction, you should see your business metrics increase as well.
Aside from measuring the ROI of social media on new clients, you should also see an advantageous effect with your current clients as well.
With the constant interaction and communication that social media enables, customer service will benefit and lead to high customer loyalty. And we all know what customer loyalty leads to – referrals. An increase in customer referrals – especially for financial professionals – is key for any business, and adds to that foundation we've been talking about.
Question: How difficult is it to measure the ROI?
Amy McIlwain: Financial professionals shouldn't view social media as the savior to their marketing strategy, but rather as a tool and extension of their offline efforts. Measuring the ROI of social media is difficult for any business, but for financial professionals especially, it's a complex web of sales, clients, relationships and more.
Many financial professionals have the jaded perspective that if they set up their social networks and offer their products and services online, people will start buying. As we discussed earlier, this definitely isn't the case.
A well-planned foundation, social media strategy and patience are key. Ultimately, setting goals and understanding the steps necessary to achieve social media success will give financial organizations a better picture of how to measure their social efforts.

Diabetes spreading around the world
Jacque Wilson | 11/14/2013, 10:22 a.m.
CNN On World Diabetes Day, news about the disease's global impact is dire.
An estimated 382 million people worldwide have diabetes, according to a new report from the International Diabetes Federation. The IDF expects that number to rise to 592 million by 2035, when one in every 10 people will have the disease.
"Diabetes in all its forms imposes unacceptably high human, social and economic costs on countries at all income levels," the report authors begin in the executive summary. They go on to say that this latest edition of the Diabetes Atlas "carries a bitter but unavoidable message: despite the array of tools at our disposal to tackle the disease... the battle to protect people from diabetes and its disabling, life-threatening complications is being lost."
Epidemiologist Leonor Guariguata, project coordinator for IDF's Diabetes Atlas, wasn't surprised by the report's findings. In fact, she says the estimates are conservative, and that diabetes may be a much bigger problem than we think.
"The thing that strikes me is that we keep saying the same thing again," she said. "Every time we produce new estimates, they are above and beyond what we had projected from past estimates."
There are three types of diabetes: Type 1, Type 2 and gestational diabetes.
People who have Type 1 diabetes do not produce insulin, a hormone the body needs to convert sugar and starches into energy. Type 1 diabetes used to be called juvenile onset diabetes because it is usually diagnosed in adolescence. Around 5% of the diabetic population in the United States has Type 1 diabetes.
Cells offer hope for Type 1 diabetics
People with Type 2 diabetes have developed a resistance to the insulin their body produces. Most people who develop Type 2 diabetes are adults, although experts worry about the increasing number of young people being diagnosed.
Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy and can increase both the mother and baby's chances of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.
According to the IDF report, China, India and the United States top the list for the most cases of diabetes per country; around 24.4 million Americans had the disease in 2013. But islands in the Pacific have the most alarming rates of prevalence, or the number of cases compared to the country's population overall.
For example, 37.5% of the population of Tokelau, located northeast of Fiji, has diabetes. Micronesia, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar also reported higher-than-average prevalence rates. A large part of this is due to the growing obesity problem; while all types of diabetes are on the rise, the number of people with Type 2 diabetes is expected to double in less than 25 years.
"We started seeing big increases in prevalence in those islands maybe 20, 30 years ago," Guariguata said. "That coincides with rapid development." The discovery of natural resources on the islands, she explained, led to an influx of money in the population. People started eating more imported foods and moving less.
But diabetes is no longer considered just a rich man's disease, Guariguata said. Approximately 80% of the people living with diabetes are in low- and middle-income countries.

For example, inhabitants of Planescape setting say things like "chant" for news or gossip, "berk" or "cutter" for a kind of adventurer, "barmy" for crazy, etc.
I want to portray a guy from a far away land in a fantasy setting, and having him use nontypical words sounds like a good way of doing this. Are there any word lists that I could use? Any advice on coming up with my own dialect?

text: Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan Kicks Off Her 2011 College Tour Before kicking off this year's 'Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food' college tour in North Carolina, I took a moment to reflect on why these college visits are so important. As President Obama said in his State of the Union address, we must out-educate the world in order to win the future. Indeed, during the eight years that I spent as a college professor, I was constantly reminded that investing in our nation's young minds is investing in our nation's future. With this in mind, this year, members of USDA leadership will join the Secretary and myself in engaging America's youth in a critical dialogue about our food system, our rural economy, and the economic opportunities associated with local and regional markets.

In the following sentence, the verb "are" strikes me as odd.
In paragraph 6, it is not clear what are meant by "the front unit" and "the central element".
It seems that ". . . it is not clear what is meant by . . ." would be more natural.
However, thinking more about it and flipping the sentence around yields something like:
"the front unit" and "the central element" mean what?
So, it seems that logically the verb should actually be "are"?
What is going on here? Is the plural correct (are)? Or is there actually some other subject in the original sentence, and therefore "is".

Engagement Rings
Vintage, cushion cut, antique and rose gold -- shopping for an engagement ring can be overwhelming. We have the advice you need on how much to spend and where to find the best engagement ring that fits your budget and style.

More Wedding Ideas
Settings, stones, sets, and solitaires -- it can be easy to get overwhelmed when shopping for engagement rings. Fortunately, we've broken down the process to make it super simple to find the perfect engagement ring for your fiance-to-be. First, think budget. It used to be the rule that an engagement ring should cost what you could earn in two months, but that's an old-school way of thinking. Simply buy the best ring you can afford without going into major debt. Still unsure? We've got great tips for getting the most for your money (like how to make smaller stones look bigger than they are!). Not sure what style to buy? We have hundreds of photos of engagement rings from the industry's top designers to search through -- and advice for choosing the right ring to match her style. But the shopping doesn't stop after she says "yes!" Then it's time to find a wedding band (and not the musical kind!). Opt for wedding ring sets for a uniform look, or go nontraditional with a totally different metal or style. Don't worry, we didn't forget about the guys -- we have suggestions for finding the perfect men's wedding band to suit his style too. In fact, many wedding ring sets come with discounts for the groom's band, so don't forget to ask when you're ring shopping!

We were very excited to visit Koh Samui for our holiday. The weather was terrible over our stay which most likely had an effect. First, for the price per room we were not offered airport transfers and found our own driver for 25% of the hotels charge. The room was fine but not amazing for the price - old electronics and poor storage, sheets had holes in them. The GM, Mack, was very nice and addressed us regularly. The pool manager was not very nice and quite rude. In addition, the amount of Tip boxes at every area possible was a bit annoying. I thought of putting suggestions in them instead for them. Breakfast buffet was nice but the selections did not change enough for a 6 night stay. The actual area and island of Koh Samui was trashy. Unfortunately, the beauty of the island is long gone and I would not recommend Koh Samui to anyone seeking a clean island. We left Samui feeling sad for what could have been a fantastic holiday.
Reservation service:
This was my first booking with Chaweng.com and it was very easy. The rate was great and included the NYE festivities which would have been quite expensive. The hotels offering was much more expensive and not competitive. Correspondence with the reservation team was quick as well.

This was our second visit to Saree Samui and we enjoyed it so much we extended our stay from two weeks to three. The staff do everything they can, and more, to ensure guests have a pleasant stay. The rooms give some privacy and shade when needed, and the pool area is quite large and so doesn t feel crowded. The dining room overlooks the beach and the food is excellent. Breakfasts are the best we have had on Samui. I am coeliac and find it difficult to get gluten free foods in Thailand. The dining room staff took the time to understand the problem and prepared dishes to meet my dietary needs. They even asked their bread supplier to make gluten free bread for me! Many thanks. With this level of service, we ll be back.

Hôtel vraiment très agréable avec un personnel aux petits soins. Joli cadre, villa bien conçue et agréable, salle de bain ouverte vers l extérieur , un vrai bonheur. J ai eu la chance d être surclasser et d avoir une villa en bord de plage et piscine mais je crois qu elles sont toutes conçues de la même façon, sauf changent l emplacement et la piscine intérieure. Les villas nécessiterai un petit coup de jeune mais dans l ensemble l hôtel est bien entretenu. Le spa est un peu coûteux mais le service est excellent. J ai vraiment passé une semaine merveilleuse au Saree Samui. J y retournerai volontiers.

Good points: The room was beautiful, the layout was fantastic the view was awesome and the staff were excellent and very pleasant. Bad points : There was little or no hot water not really a problem for us as the weather was beautiful, we never mentioned it I m sure if we did it would have been fixed. The drain in the bath was not fixed in and the room shutters and doors were a little bit hard to open and close, with a little more attention to detail in matinace I would have given our room an perfect rating. All in all I would say none of these points had any affect on the fantastic stay we had at the Saree resort and would have no hesitation recommending this resort to others and would come stay again.

Saree Samui is a beautiful hotel, quite and peaceful. It has a big pool right on the beach, it is a good place for rest. In our room we had a big ... garden, and a shower under open sky. The staff is friendly. But the place has a few minuses: a complete lack of entertaiment - no billiards, no tennis, no animation, so if you want to have fun, you ll have to search of it yourself. During our staying there were really big waves and the water near the beach was muddy because of that the swimming didn t give us much pleasure. But the staff told us that this stuff happens only a couple times in a year. Thus this hotel is for people that like quite and serene rest.

Каждая вилла закрыта и сделана как собственный двор. Хороший сервис. Очень хорошее спа. Дают ощутимые скидки при повторном посещении. Хотя первое несколько дороговато. Вокруг есть прачечные и кафе. Хотя до центра пляжа несколько далековато. Но очень прекрасны могут быть прогулки по пляжу. Из минусов. Не очень разнообразное вечернее меню ресторана. Мы были с детьми и не располагали к прогулкам и путешествиям по злачным местам. Но не всегда хотелось есть одно и то же из небольшого меню. И На такое территории не хватало гамаков, дополнительных мест для валяния с книжкой или сна детей. Но сама концепция отеля очень хороша.

I've personally never heard of the series, so I'll have to watch it to familiarize myself with the characters/setting, etc.

Karen Thurston Chavez is Co-Founder of the support group Broken Hearts of the Big Bend (BHBB) and a good friend. We met when I spoke at BHBB's Congenital Heart Defect Symposium last year and we trade e-mails at least once a week, keeping up with each other and discussing the latest issues affecting the Heart Defect community.
Karen's blog has a most unusual post you need to read – in September, she was able to shadow her son's heart surgeon for a day at Shands Children's Hospital in Gainesville, Florida. But then something she didn't expect happened:
I figured I would sit in on conferences and consultations he had with families whose children were having, would be having, or just had open-heart surgery to repair their congenital heart defects. I guessed that I would sit and watch while he handled administrative work. I was right. I did all those things.
I did not think I would step into his operating room.
So I'm sending you over to her blog for today's post. Karen will help you get scrubbed in and then walk you into the Operating Room as Dr. Mark Bleiweis performs open heart surgery.
