Great advice.
People often never realize how invaluable it is to have reliable people on your team who are always looking to add value, regardless of the industry. Talented, hardworking people are hard to come by in any partnership or organization. When you're working with a client, its important that you identify potential headwinds, and help steer clear of them.
Also, Tinseltown isn't exactly known for its fidelity, so its comforting to know that for those who really need guidance and dedication, there are people out there who truly have their best interests in mind.
Great article Adam. And as someone who's met Jeff Ballard and happens to know him professionally and personally – Jeff is the "real deal". He is also one of the hardest working and most genuine people I've ever met. He is sagacious and he truly does take care of his clients as well. As someone who is in the client satisfaction business, I understand the importance of doing an effective job managing clients and their varying personality styles and expectations.
Personally I've never met or seen anyone do this better than Jeff Ballard. I'm glad that you wrote this piece Adam. Thank you. The world oughta consider implementing some of the ideas out of your "Jeff Ballard Play Book". The work places in the world would be much happier, more fun and more effective if they did…
Bob Deitrick
Early in my career I was a producer at E! Entertainment Television. We received an invite from the show GROWING PAINS to do an episode for our BEHIND THE SCENES series. We were a young network at the time and jumped at the chance to cover the hit series. The episode arc was featuring a young kid, who his handlers were saying was, "going to be a huge actor one day." Ok; sure. We showed up, shot several hours of behind the scenes footage and interviewed the young kid. While the kid was charming with a bit of a dastardly sense of humor, I really didn't see what was so special about him. The kid was Leonardo DiCaprio.
How did they know?
Years later I was with Jeff Ballard visiting his client Paula Abdul on the set of AMERICAN IDOL. He brings this kid over and introduces him to Paula and the rest of us in her dressing room. As the kid left, Jeff said, "that kid is going to be a huge star one day." After Jeff said that I immediately thought of my earlier encounter with DiCaprio. I asked Jeff about his proclamation and he said, "I just know." The kid was Zac Efron. (A couple of years later he said the same thing about Chandler Massey).
My takeaway from knowing Jeff and reading this great article, (thank you Forbes for it not being another Hollywood puff piece), is one should always listen. Listen to not only what is happening around you, but more importantly listen to your inner voice. You never know when you're going to be in the midst of greatness and opportunity.
Darren, great comment. I agree with you completely. I believe that Jeff has a unique intuitiion that distinguishes him from the many publicists in Hollywood. I would argue that no one does it better than Ballard when it comes to idenifying and nurturing exceptional talent – many of whom have gone onto become major stars in Hollywood like Charlie Sheen or Zac Efron. Jeff's record, in terms of who he works with today and whom he has worked with over the past generation, stands for itself.
There's a reason that Jeff Ballard has enjoyed over thirty years of success in his profession, and that's because he's loyal, absolutely consistent, and cares about the outcome for his client. (Not to mention that he's exceptional at identifying talent.)
Most of us are fixated on some pretty medium term goals in our day to day lives. What Jeff does for his clients is manage the minutia and detail while keeping his eye on the big picture. He's acutely aware of the scrutiny his clients are under and manages to find solutions to problems before they become problems. After having had the opportunity to spend some time with Jeff recently, my biggest takeaway was how proactive he was, rather than reactive. When a client calls, Jeff answers. Those of us whose bottom line is dependent on client retention ought to learn a valuable lesson here. Too often many of us feel overwhelmed by the bombardment of contact we are subjected to through social media, email and phone calls. We have all been guilty of seeing an incoming call that should probably be answered and putting the phone back in our pocket. Chances are that when a client calls it isn't to chat about the weather…and even if they are, by not picking up you leave their needs, large or small, unmet. Jeff doesn't do that because he understands that his clients can't (and he can't) afford to take the risk of not being out in front on any issue as soon as it comes up. We should all be so wise. Thanks for the insight, Adam, great article!

Community Benefit
Kearney, Nebraska to Corning, Iowa, CHI Health is honored to serve the health needs of the communities we serve. CHI Health exists to create healthier communities, and this report highlights our progress and achievements in this regard during the past fiscal year (July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014). A total of $149.3 million in total community benefit was invested in FY14, which is a 7.4 increase over last year. Of that amount, CHI Health invested $17 million to improve community health. We collaborate with local health coalitions to analyze data and plan how to collectively impact priority health issues.
It is also our duty, deeply rooted in our faith-based Mission, to serve vulnerable individuals, including people with mental illness or those who are uninsured and underinsured. To fulfill that commitment, we invested more than $53 million in financial assistance and $79 million in the unpaid costs of serving Medicaid patients this past year. We are also the largest provider of behavioral health care in our region.
We know that where a person lives, works and plays has a great impact on overall health and life expectancy. This is why we are compelled, beyond providing excellent health care, to work with neighbors, leaders and partner organizations to improve community health.

Subreports and text box controls do not have a KeepTogether property to prevent the controls' data from printing across two or more pages. However, you can simulate the KeepTogether property behavior by creating "artificial" group sections and placing the subreport and text box controls in these sections. Then, you can set the group's KeepTogether property to Yes, which causes Microsoft Access to test the layout of the controls before printing them and to keep the text together on one page.
The following steps use the sample database Northwind.mdb to demonstrate how you can use report sections to simulate a KeepTogether property for subreport and text box controls.

text: I used to work for this guy, but I'm a driver, not a mechanic. The shop has no name, it's attached to Chemical South. It's owned by Mike Peterson. He can be a real SOB. But: Nothing is going to leave his shop if it isn't right. He charges about $10.00/hour less than other area shops. Real hours, not book. I drove a company truck, and we used a different shop. They replaced the front seal in my engine, two hundred miles later my AC quit working. The mechanic had forgotten to tighten the bolts for the compressor. They fell out. I got permission to take the truck to Mike, his mechanic replaced the bolts. Checked the bolts holding the front cover on. Loose. Fan hub. Loose. Mike's mechanic tightened everything up. He billed my company for 15 minutes plus the AC bolts. I became the only driver with that company who had permission to take his truck to Mike instead of our usual shop. When we were looking for another shop, the owner called him. He said that he didn't have the capacity to maintain a fleet. I asked him why he didn't expand, and he told me that he couldn't find enough mechanics who would work to his standards. Like I said, he can be a real SOB. Retired First Sergeant style SOB. But he's got a great shop. And he always has room for an O/O with a problem. Especially veterans. He does road calls as well.

If you are in Hamburg during summertime (may-september), you should visit the 'Planten Un Blomen' park in the evening!
There are Illuminated fountains
and classical music at one of the lakes. Unfortunately the website is in german and it depends on flash, so that i can't provide the links to the information pdf directly :(
You can get there by clicking the following links on the website:
skip->'Parkanlagen'->'zu den Parkanlagen'->'Planten un Blomen'->'d'
Or visit this english web-page from yahoo:
Concert in the 'Hauptkirche St.Nicolai'.
Unlike other Churches, instead of the classical cross, a painting of 'Jesus with his torturer' hangs from the endless heigh ceiling. I had the chance to attent a Bach concert watching the magical painting. My soul dissolved in the music and lost into the strange, magical, hypnotizing painting... Follow and don't miss a concert at this church. (Located in Klosterstern)

Problem with RIVA TNT2, Samsung Syncmaster 204B
I am having trouble getting my debian system to drive my new Samsung Syncmaster 204B monitor at 1600x1200....It seems to be sending it 1600x1200@60Hz (75KHz HorizSync)....The monitor just flickers and shows garbled artifacts....
The system has a TNT2 chipset, and is connecting to the monitor via the VGA jack.
I have a kvm switch, and another TNT2 system (windows 2000) works fine. Also, previously I had both systems connected to 21" ViewSonic, and both could display 1600x1200 no problem....
In the OSD on the monitor, it looks like it is actually using a HorizSync of 74.9KHz, when the Windows 2000 machine is connected....
I've tried forcing the HorizSync to 74.9KHz, and set the "ExactModeTimings" "Yes", etc....
One thing I notice in looking at the /var/log/XFree86.0.log output, is that it apparently can't find any EDID info for this monitor....Is that normal? Could that be the problem here? How is the Windows 2000 machine pulling this off?
Through lots of googling around, it seems there are quite a few problems with the Samsung Syncmaster 204B, seems it needs to have slightly reduced frequencies than standard, and that a number of them have had problems (seems an issue with those manufactured in China (as mine was), as opposed to the earlier ones from Mexico?)....
I saw one post that suggested I try to force it to 59.92 Hz Vert, 74.01 KHz Horiz, but this results in the X server failing to start, I guess it determined that the TNT2 RIVA can't handle that speed....

At present, over 60% of UK police forces and in excess of 30% of fire authorities choose us as their security partner.
As a UK based supplier to the UK public sector, we are ideally placed to assist you to meet your InfoSec and cyber defence needs. With a raft of legislative and regulatory standards to meet, we provide a sophisticated range of encryption, network, gateway and endpoint security suites that are as complete as they are simple to deploy, manage and live with.
The Sophos National Blue Light Commercial Model
We understand the rigorous strain on police forces and fire authorities to remain secure and compliant whilst achieving mandated cost-saving targets. This is why we work nationally, regionally and locally to deliver more security for less spend.
We are continually talking to our customers and enhancing our offering to ensure it meets the real security needs to combat the changing threat landscape which exists in today's IT world. There is a balance between Complete Security and cost pressures, but as we all understand security in this sector is too important to allow it to go wrong and risk business disruption to frontline policing and firefighting due to IT systems not working.
Our National Blue Light Commercial Model is designed with ISIS and regional collaboration in mind, yet respects the autonomy and individual requirements of each separate force and authority. We know that proposals demonstrating regional collaboration are getting the most attention within Blue Light procurement, yet the longer timescales of such projects can slow progress and delay savings being made. Why not have the best of both worlds?
Consolidate Your Network Security and Protect Remote Users
As you move to more agile remote working, the need to consolidate point gateway solutions to remove complexity and cost is even more acute. Our Unified Threat Management solution provides a central firewall accredited to EAL4+ and modular email, web and endpoint security on a single box. Connecting branch sites back to head office via our Remote Ethernet Device removes the need for a hardware firewall on each site to achieve further savings on energy, engineers and hardware.
Protect Your Sensitive Data
Securing data at rest and in transit requirements have now moved beyond just encrypting data on hard disks & removable media. With more Blue Light organisations using cloud-based storage and needing separation of data on in-house file shares. Our Safeguard Enterprise suite meets these evolving needs with certified, robust yet easy-to-manage encryption.
Sophos Complete Security and Compliance
PNN, PND, GPMS regulations together with Blue Light organisations own internal demands mean a significant risk of hefty fines and a damaged reputation if users fail to comply. We can help make compliance easy, so you can:

A masked police officer shows sophisticated coded transmission devices, that were seized from suspected Israeli agents spying on Lebanon and Hezbollah militants, during a news conference in Beirut, Lebanon, Monday, May 11, 2009. (AP Photo/Hussein Malla)
SIDON/BEIRUT: The Lebanese Army raided the house of a wanted Palestinian agent of Israel and detained his wife in Sidon Friday, on suspicions the woman was communicating with her husband and knew his whereabouts.
"It is the second time that [Iman] has been detained ... We suspect she is in contact with her husband," a security source told The Daily Star.
Palestinian national Hussein Khattab was the main suspect for the murder of brothers Mahmoud and Nidal Majzoub, who were killed in a Sidon car bombing in 2006. Since then, Khattab has been wanted for collaboration and espionage on behalf of the Israeli enemy.
Khattab is said to have fled to Israel to escape prosecution, after his co-conspirator Mahmoud Rafeh was detained for the same murder.
The source told The Daily Star that Iman had been previously detained, adding that prosecution sentenced her to four years in jail in 2006 after her husband allegedly carried out the Sidon car bombing.
"Iman fled the country after the murder but was detained as soon as she came back" he said.

The Salvation Army makes final push to achieve Red Kettle campaign goal
VERO BEACH - With less than 10 days left till Christmas The Salvation of IRC is edging closer to the goal of $80,000. As of Dec. 14, the Salvation Army is at $56,140 or 70 percent of goal on pace for $75,000.
Your pocket change will make the difference whether The Salvation Army makes its goal or not this holiday season. Your change will help make change in our community for 2012 year and help The Salvation Army "Do The Most Good" with your generosity.
This year The Salvation of IRC will need just as much support and are asking you to take notice of all the Red Kettles that are out in front of many retail locations in Indian River County during these final 10 days, ending Dec. 24, and make a donation to The Salvation Army. Some of these locations include Walmart, Sam's Club, Publix, Kmart, Winn Dixie and The Post Office.
The Red Kettle Campaign is the major fundraiser for The Salvation Army and helps to support programs for the entire 2012 year.
The Salvation Army is only as successful as its generous donors, community members and sponsors such as VBCBA, Spring Hill Suites, Vero Beach Hotel and Spa, Christian FM, Ocean FM, FPL, Velde Ford, Champion Home Health, The Crockett Group, Goldcoast Landscape Lighting, Paul Williamson Co. and The Mayflower Society allow it to be.
Without the help and support of this community, The Salvation of IRC would never be able to maintain its progress and service. It needs the community support this Christmas and look forward to exceeding the Red Kettle Campaign goal.
For more information on how to help The Salvation of IRC make its goal call (772) 978-0265 or on Facebook, www.facebook.com/pages/The-Salvation-Army-of-Indian-River-Co-Fla.

It was a simple and appealing narrative worthy of comparison to the writings of Greensboro, N.C.'s native son, O. Henry.
Many recall Maupassant or O. Henry in the way they conclude with an old-fashioned twist or epiphany.
The twist, when it comes, makes O. Henry look like a hopeless pansy.
"person who carries," late 14c. (mid-13c. as a surname), from Anglo-French portour, Old French porteor "porter, bearer; reporter" (12c.), from Late Latin portatorem (nominative portator) "carrier, one who carries," from past participle stem of Latin portare "to carry" (see port (n.1)).
"doorkeeper, janitor," mid-13c. (late 12c. as a surname), from Anglo-French portour, Old French portier "gatekeeper" (12c.), from Late Latin portarius "gatekeeper," from Latin porta "gate" (see port (n.2)).
type of dark beer, 1734, short for porter's ale (1721), from porter (n.1), because the beer was made for or preferred by porters and other laborers, being cheap and strong.
masc. proper name, from French Henri, from Late Latin Henricus, from German Heinrich, from Old High German Heimerich, literally "the ruler of the house," from heim "home" + rihhi "ruler." One of the most popular Norman names after the Conquest.
henry hen·ry (hěn'rē)
n. pl. hen·rys or hen·ries (-rēz)
Abbr. H
The unit of inductance in which an induced electromotive force of one volt is produced when the current is varied at the rate of one ampere per second.
Porter Por·ter (pôr'tər), Rodney Robert. Born 1917.
British biochemist. He shared a 1972 Nobel Prize for his research on the chemical structure and nature of antibodies.
A SI derived unit of electrical inductance, especially of transformers and inductance coils. A current changing at the rate of one ampere per second in a circuit with an inductance of one henry induces an electromotive force of one volt.
a gate-keeper (2 Sam. 18:26; 2 Kings 7:10; 1 Chr. 9:21; 2 Chr. 8:14). Of the Levites, 4,000 were appointed as porters by David (1 Chr. 23:5), who were arranged according to their families (26:1-19) to take charge of the doors and gates of the temple. They were sometimes employed as musicians (1 Chr. 15:18).

We stayed here for our annual tubing weekend. We were in a motorhome and the rest of our group were on tent sites. Nice campground with large grassy sites. Very convenient to the Deerfield River and Shelburne Falls (Bridge of Flowers and Glacial Potholes.) My only complaint is that the grass needed to be cut. We will definitely be back next year. - Bonnie66

We really liked this campground. You can tell that the owners have camped and understand what is important to campers. They run a tight ship which makes it pleasant for all campers. The only campground ever that asked to see the dogs rabies certificates, but that is a good thing. The sites are large and laid out well with lots of room between campers. Nice areas near the utilities that keep things clean even in rainy weather. Interior roads are gravel but well kept with plenty of room to maneuver big rigs. Sites are grass and relatively level. Good utilities. Tent areas are secluded. Seasonal sites are separate from the transient sites. All units well kept. I would camp here again if in the area. - elaine170

This a great little campground in the middle of Western Mass. Very friendly management, and very well maintained. Grass and bushes were all trimmed, no weeds or undergrowth. Roads all in nice condition with very large pull through sites. All the utilities are newer, electric, water, and sewer. Nice little store, the snack are was closed, but the kitchen was spotlessly clean. - Nausett

Jul 2012 - $12.00
The layout of this campground has changed do to Hurricane Irene. The swimming hole that was at least 6' deep last year is only about 3'. We couldn't believe the damage that was done. A lot of the sites near the river are carry in, carry out. Sites 1 through 12 have been changed to group sites 2 through 4. I don't know why this is, as they still look like individual sites. We still really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back next year. Two of my children and I did the Zoar Zipline and had a ball. It's expensive but was worth it to see their faces. Better than an amusement park if your into the outdoors. Helpful hint, the showers in the camping area have a button that constantly needs to be held to get water, but the showers by the cabins has a regular hot/cold lever with constant flow. - B. P. Donelan
Jul 2011 - $12.00
My family loved this campground. Our site was clean and level for our camper. Showers were kind of awkward with a push button that had to be held all the time that you wanted water. The swimming hole was a lot of fun for the kids. We went tubing down the Deerfield river near by which was really cool. We will definetally go back again. The dump station was working when we left. - B. P. Donelan
May 2011 - $14.00
Beautiful natural setting: stayed here 3 days while exploring northwestern Massachusetts. Lots of notices about bear activity in the area and bear boxes for storing food: but we didn't see any bears. Some sites are more level than others. Bathrooms are old but clean. The showers need work, pitted concrete floor and the water mechanism is awkward. The dump station was not available for use when we were here. It was awaiting repair and apparently had been for some time. - liz&denis

Things were looking up for the Tigers in the second inning of Game 2 of the World Series on Thursday night. Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner, he of the 11.25 ERA in previous 2012 postseason games, had just hit leadoff batter Prince Fielder. Delmon Young then smoked a double down the line that bounced off a wall and jetted out in foul territory before left fielder Gregor Blanco finally picked it up. Tigers third base coach Gene Lamont saw an opportunity in the making and sent Fielder home with the windmill action of his left arm. Fielder, faster than almost anybody his size, rounded third and began picking up and laying down his feet as quickly as he could. Second baseman Marco Scutaro, the second cutoff man -- positioned on the outfield grass in front of shortstop Brandon Crawford -- took Blancos throw and fired a strike to catcher Buster Posey, whose sweeping tag nailed Fielder. Gene just got a little over-aggressive, Tigers manager Jim Leyland said of Lamont's decision to sen...

I suspect the fuel leak occurred at the junction between the flex line and the hard plastic fuel distribution lines on the RHS, high pressure side. If the rubber hose is pulled away from the bulge at the end of the hard line, you get a fine spray. Nearly perfect for starting such a mess.
I have had this happen several times. Each time it has been with the engine cold, after the bike was exposed to cold temps. The first time was when the fuel filter plugged with an accumulation of gunk do to very questionable and overly expensive gas found in the desert along I-40 in California. I had made it to the western slope of the Colorado Rockies where the bike spent the night outside at just below freezing.
Next morning I started the bike and got the same stuttering/sputtering you describe and then the bike died. When I tried to start it again while standing beside it I noticed the fine spray. Mine is a 2004 with 186,000 miles. One fuel pump has been replaced after the goop incident at around 60,000 miles. I removed the single use clamp at that time and replaced it initially with a poor quality, (Wal-Mart) hose clamp and have since replaced that with a BMW FI clamp.
As Mike noted the above doesn't account for the QD disconnect.
I'll grab a shot of my bike when I get home this weekend.
The only wire I recall in the area of the lock is the rear ABS sensor, but since there is none on this bike that only leaves the charcoal canister line. I think this is also not here.

The funny thing about today's cattle call casting was that the girls were all hanging out in the lobby of the Mondrian Hotel in bikinis. The girls were checking each other out, as well as guests and staff practically walking into walls with all these beautiful women half naked in the lobby. It was so random but so funny to observe and be part of! A teenage boy's dream!
Abercrombie & Fitch has been peddling billboards of apparently-naked men for decades and it seemed to work okay. American Apparel shocked and titillated with its early campaigns: using sex appeal to sell such sundry basics as t-shirts and socks. My theory? BAD sex doesn't sell. And this is one similarity between the porn and fashion industries.
When I shop, I want to know how the pieces I like are made. I look at the tag. I ask where the fabrics are from. I read about the designer. These details reveal the process of a piece that earns a hanger in my closet. This is what separates Heather Smith's designs of Laos-based shop Passa Paa from fast fashion retailers and puts a value on owning her pieces.
With kids growing up surrounded by advertising, movies and TV, toys, books, and clothes that tell them that some things are for girls, and others are for boys, we're already fighting an uphill battle if our goal is to raise girls who know that they can solve tough, real world problems, and boys who are interested in collaboration, not just competition.
Those words secretly worked magic on me. As a disabled person, I had an extra swing in my waist that never bothered me. The joy in my feet was something far more powerful than anyone could understand. The flash in my teeth, were vicious to those that fed me negativity, and the same flash was a brilliant smile that won the hearts of those that I cared about.
Let's start with the fact the scarf is a great finishing touch to any of our basic wardrobe pieces. It will add some personality to our basic monochrome wardrobe- black, white, navy, blue jeans, etc. It is becoming more and more for every season that accessories are steering the ship. Clothes are the accessory to the accessory.
Victoria's Secret wanted to meet with me -- I almost fainted at the thought! It was a girl's dream come true. I barely slept and I woke up with the world's largest pimple, probably the biggest one I have ever had. I was told to strip down and stand against this white wall where multiple photos were taken of me while these two ladies went through my portfolio.
I hate that now, part of the job of a fashion editor somehow means that you have to dress as if you're a model on the runway. This Toronto Fashion Week, I decided to rebel. This time I wasn't going to panic and buy new clothes. This is what I wore: flat riding boots, black leggings, an oversize "Battlestar Galactica" T-shirt I got from Toronto ComicCon, a Roots "Heart Canada" sweater.
Toronto Fashion Week is here! Usually this event is one I look forward to every year, but this time things were different. Due to a severe case of eczema that covered both my arms and legs, my insecurities were at an all time high. Then I decided: forget it! I can't miss the hottest week in Toronto fashion over a silly insecurity!
I hope I can ride this one out. I like my plain t-shirts, and I'm getting to old to try to find a new thing. I guess I will be "normcore". A fashion rebel. An iconoclast, thumbing my nose at those consumerist sheep. I will wear my khaki pants as a badge of honour, my t-shirts as a flag of allegiance to the state of bland.

Looking to meet new people!
I'm the guy that will figure out how to rope the moon - just to show you that you yourself could've done it. I've grown up treating rules like suggestions, and for that perspective I've paid the price - but have also benefitted from the same. I started a company right after putting myself thru college & grad school (MBA) - because I couldn't imagine sitting in a cubicle crunching numbers every day. Instead, I went through the ups and downs of chasing the American dream - in the beginning, many more downs than ups, but smooth (and great) sailing after that period. I work in the entertainment business (some of your favorite films & television shows) because every day I get to be involved with something exciting, and because I like doing things that impact the perspectives of millions of people. I've supported 2 children's charities for 5 years (Chivalry is alive!), until realizing 1 of them was taking advantage of our kindness (I'm nice, but not blind). I've been playing guitar for 10 years, and just after college - moved to LA to pursue singing/performing. I'm always striving to do more, see more, taste more, be more - but then there's another looming part of me that is a simpleton. I truly enjoy sitting at home and reading, watching movies, Facetime-ing (?) with my family, organizing my thoughts, cooking (A man's place is in the kitchen...?), really anything that is new or that is entertaining. I love being outside, and find happiness in silly little things like pondering how someone actually figured out how to create a flying machine (airplane) I hope all the "I's" in this section don't make me seem self-centered, just want to paint a real picture of who I am. In terms of who I'm looking for.. a girl that loves simple things in life, and who can appreciate complexities as well.. Someone who gives, gives, and gives - without expecting anything in return..because I'm the same way. Someone who loves the arts, but is stable (if you've ever been around creative people, you would give the same disclaimer). Someone who is understanding and not set in her ways. Someone who enjoys all ethnic cuisines (there's no better smell in the world than sauteing cumin seeds!). I think the finer details all work themselves out if the nature of two people in a relationship fit well. If you want to know more, please don't hesitate to shoot me an email. Best of luck,
Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing sports , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Baseball, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Football, Golf, Other types of exercise, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Anywhere with either of the following: good food, good music, good books, great view
My mind is always going in a number of directions, I love being entertained (to keep my attention) - but also love serenity (the exact opposite!) Films, creating music, books on topics that interest me, family time, cooking, a lot of other things
Movies, reading news/magazines/self-help books/comics, making music (I've been playing guitar and writing original music/songs for many years), spending time with my family, gym, shopping at a farmers market/grocery store. I have a lot of interests!

a first sealing surface surrounding a port opening in said first fluid channel of said main fluid infusion unit;
a second sealing surface surrounding a second port opening in said second fluid channel of said fluid connector assembly;
wherein said first sealing surface further comprises a compressible seal member, said compressible seal member cooperating with said second sealing surface to form a seal-to-surface fluid seal connection when said system is in said second delivery position;
wherein said main fluid infusion unit further comprises slots cooperating with legs on said first fluid channel protector, said slots adapted to guide said first fluid channel protector from said first occluding position to said second non-occluding position; and
a first fluid channel protector affixed to said main infusion unit for occluding a port opening in said first fluid channel, said first fluid channel protector movable from a first occluding position above said first sealing surface to a second non-occluding position when said system is pivoted from said first non-delivery position to said second delivery position.
This application claims priority, is a continuation from, and incorporates herein by reference, U.S. application Ser. No. 10/383,978, filed Mar. 7, 2003 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,214,207; claims priority from and incorporates herein by reference U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/896,149, filed Jun. 29, 2001, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. Nos. 60/362,593, filed Mar. 8, 2002; 60/388,926, filed Jun. 14, 2002; and 60/435,143, filed Dec. 20, 2002; all of which are incorporated herein for all purposes.
This invention relates to therapeutic infusion assemblies and, more specifically, to a device for subcutaneous delivery of a fluid to a patient. The present invention provides an infusion set having a pivoting fluid connector and a base assembly having a base unit and a molded septum. The invention is easy to manufacture and assemble and is simple to use.
Prior art infusion sets provide a number of ways for engaging a fluid connector to a base. The base typically has a vertical cannula depending downward from a flat bottom. The fluid connector typically has a fluid line carrying fluid from a remote reservoir to the base. The fluid connector is typically adapted to being removed from the base of the infusion assembly so that one may have freedom of movement, by disconnecting the fluid connector and leaving only the base attached to the patient.
Many prior art infusion assemblies use septums, piercable with a needle. The septums perform one or more functions. For example, prior art infusion assemblies use a septum with a hollow needle for repeatedly piercing the septum. The piercing needle is normally a part of the fluid connector and adapted for delivery of a fluid from a remote reservoir through the needle to the patient. The base assembly usually includes a cannula which will receive the fluid and introduce it into the patient. The prior art shows that the septums also receive an insertion needle for initially affixing the infusion assembly to the patient.
One of the typical functions of a septum is to releasably seal a chamber, usually within a base assembly, when a needle is urged through it and subsequently removed. A septum may be disk shaped or tabular shaped and defines a wall that seals or separates two cavities. It is typically soft enough to be pierced repeatedly by a needle and reform its shape when the needle is removed. It may or may not include a self sealing slit. Further, the walls of the septum are typically under some compression such that when a needle is removed, resiliency will allow the septum to reform its integrity and maintain the seal between two cavities.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a base assembly includes a septum. The base assembly has a cannula, and the cannula has a lumen axis. A septum in the base assembly aligned with the lumen axis is provided so that the insertion needle may be used to pierce the septum, passing through the cannula and setting the infusion assembly onto the patient. In the septum, vertical and horizontal channels are typically provided. The vertical channel is generally vertical with respect to the flat bottom of the base and the horizontal channel is horizontal with respect to the base. The vertical and horizontal channels are in fluid communication. The junction of the two channels is below that section of the septum intended for receiving the insertion needle.
Also provided is a novel fluid connector for pivotal engagement with the base assembly. The fluid connector has a fluid channel therein. The base assembly and the fluid connector are adapted such that the fluid connector may move from a first (non-operational) position to a second position (operational). The operational position provides fluid engagement with the horizontal channel of the base assembly to the fluid channel in the fluid connector. That is, the base assembly and the fluid connector are designed such that they pivotally engage to move the fluid connector from an operational position wherein the fluid channel therein is in axial alignment and in fluid communication with the horizontal channel of the base assembly (sometimes also referred to as a "use" or "down" position) to a non-operational position wherein the fluid channel of the fluid connector is parallel to the vertical channel of the base assembly and perpendicular to the horizontal channel of the base assembly (sometimes also referred to as the "nonuse" or "up" position).
Another feature of the present invention is a hinged leg having a foot section extending perpendicularly therefrom. The hinged leg may be part of the base assembly. In a first position biased upwardly and adjacent a fluid entry portal in the septum, the foot of the hinged leg blocks the entry portal to prevent material from entry or exit from the portal. In this blocking position, the fluid connector is not engaged with the septum and fluid is not communicating through the base assembly into the patient. When the fluid connector is engaged with the base assembly in operational positions, the hinged leg is urged downwardly and the foot is no longer blocking the entry portal. When the fluid connector is aligned in this arrangement fluid may be delivered through the infusion assembly and into the patient.
An infusion assembly having, typically, three main parts is disclosed. The first part is a single piece septum having a first channel and a second channel. The first channel is open at a first end thereof and intersects the second channel. The second channel is generally perpendicular to the first channel and open at the bottom end thereof.
A second main part of the infusion assembly is a base unit. The base unit has a flat bottom plate adapted to either lay adjacent the skin of the patient or be attached to a flexible adhesive member which, in turn, will adhesively and removably attach to the skin of the patient. The base unit further includes a soft rubber or plastic cannula which depends generally perpendicularly downwardly from the under surface of the bottom plate for insertion beneath the skin of the patient. The base unit also may include a shoulder and a pair of spaced apart, vertically oriented sidewalls which will function to guide a fluid connector from a first up or elevated position to a second down position. The base unit may also further include a biased or hinged leg member having a proximal end which is pivotally attached to the bottom plate and a distal or removed end having a perpendicularly extending foot which is normally biased upwardly above the bottom plate. The leg member is capable of pivotal movement between an elevated position where the distal end of the leg (the foot) occludes or blocks an entry portal defined by the first channel opening of the septum. The leg member is further capable of movement to a depressed position where the distal end is below or beneath the first channel opening. In the depressed position the leg member may be substantially flush with an upper surface of the bottom plate of the base unit. The base unit further includes means, such as arms, for releasably maintaining the fluid connector in a down position. The base is further dimensioned for receiving and positioning the septum such that the second channel of the septum is aligned with the cannula.
As will be understood further below, the septum and the base unit form the base assembly. While this disclosure discusses the base unit and septum as separate parts, it should be further understood that they may be molded in a unitary fashion or molded separately.
The third major element of the infusion assembly is a fluid connector having a near end, a bottom surface, a vertical wall and a lip at the removed end thereof. The lip is provided for pivotal engagement with a shoulder of a fluid connector engaging member of the base unit. The fluid connector includes walls adapted to engage the spaced apart sidewalls of the base unit such that the fluid connector is capable of pivoting from an up position to a down position. The fluid connector also has a fluid delivery channel therein which will lay adjacent the first channel opening of the septum when the fluid connector is in the down or operational position.
In the second preferred embodiment provision is made for legs, protruding vertically from a base unit acting to hold and push forward for good seating, the base unit against the septum. The second embodiment may feature a single durometer one piece septum that is designed to "pop" into the base unit for easy assembly. The septum typically includes a raised "nose" portion to assist in joining the septum to the fluid connector for a seal type fit between the septum and the fluid connector. Applicants also provide a relatively smooth top surface to the fluid connector.
An alternate preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a base unit formed to provide both vertical and horizontal channels, for engagement with the fluid connector wherein the septum is placed above the vertical channel of the base unit.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention also provides an alternative structure to a septum which has a number of advantages. Instead of utilizing a septum to seal a chamber, the present invention uses paired members. One member is typically on a base assembly having a fluid channel while the other is on a joint pivoting with respect to the base assembly. At least one of the paired members is compressible when the pivoting member is rotated into a position which allows the noncompressible and the compressible members to join. The paired members join to form a fluid sealing joint. A fluid channel in a fluid connector (a fluid connector bearing one of the member pairs) is joined to a fluid channel in the base (the base including the second of the paired members). At least one resilient member, either on the pivoting member or on the base assembly, contacts the other member (in fluid sealing relation) as pivoting action brings the channel in the fluid connector into fluid communication with a cannula mounted on the base assembly. These paired members may take a number of configurations as set forth in more detail below, but typically are incorporated into the novel stationary base/pivoting fluid connector combination to allow for a simple and effective compressive seal between a fluid connector and a cannula bearing base.
As illustrated in the attached Figures, infusion system 10 is provided to deliver a fluid, typically carried through a fluid delivery tube 18 into the body of a patient typically through a cannula 12B.
The infusion system or assembly has been reduced to a minimum number of pieces. This simplifies construction, assembly and use of the device. In one embodiment of the invention three fundamental and basic pieces typically are separately manufactured to construct the infusion assembly and include: base unit 12; septum assembly 14; and fluid connector 16. The base and septum form the infusion body assembly 13. In use on the patient, the assembly thus consists of two removably assembled pieces—body assembly 13 (from base 12 and septum assembly 14) and fluid connector assembly 16. In another embodiment discussed below the septum is eliminated by using mating, complementary sealing members.
One function of the base unit 12 in systems having a septum is to provide support for the septum and the fluid connector and to position them with respect to each other so they may pivotally engage one another in a manner set forth below. The base assembly also includes a cannula 12B which is capable of receiving an insertion needle (see
To accomplish these and other functions, the base unit is seen to include a generally planar, flat bottom surface 12A for resting directly against the skin of a patient or against a double-sided adhesive pad 20 (see
With reference to
As set forth in
The base may include a protector assembly having an orifice blocking leg 12E, the leg being an extended member having a foot portion 12F at the removed end thereof. The foot portion 12F extends generally perpendicularly from the longitudinal axis of the leg. The leg is attached at a near end 12G by an integral (living) hinge, to the base 12. In the manufacture of the base blocking, leg 12E is biased so that foot portion 12F is elevated above the bottom surface of the base as illustrated in
As seen in
For example, a soft septum member 14J may be incorporated into the septum assembly through the use of a "two shot" molding method and likewise, there may be a sidewall portion 14K which is of a softer durometer than the remainder of the septum body. In such an embodiment a portion of the septum member is positioned above the first channel 14E. It is to be pointed out, however, that the septum is typically shot as a single unit—not two units separately manufactured and then glued or welded together, as is known in the prior art. It is typically a single piece septum assembly which may have areas of softer durometer, for example, so as to provide easier receipt of the insertion needle in puncturing the top surface 14B. Sidewall port 14K may be, preferably, ring shaped encircling as it is the port opening provided in septum body 14A by open first end 14F of first channel 14E.
First channel leg 14E and second channel leg 14H are generally perpendicular to one another, the first channel leg is typically horizontal and the second channel leg typically vertical. When the fluid connector is in a down position, it is able to deliver fluid to the septum assembly fluid channel via first end 14F of first channel leg 14E, through the septum assembly 14 until the fluid reaches the second end 14G of first channel leg. The fluid is then delivered to the second channel leg 14H, where it flows downward under the impetus of gravity (or a feed pump, not shown) into the cannula for delivery into the body of the patient.
A fluid connector 16 is provided for engagement with the base 12 of the body assembly 13 in a rotatable fashion and is pivotable on the base for alignment with the septum assembly to deliver fluid from the fluid delivery tube 18 to the fluid flow channel of the septum assembly when the fluid connector has been rotated to a down or operational delivery position (see
To accomplish this and other objects, fluid connector 16 is seen to have a near end 16A, a body 16J, and a nose 16K projecting from the body (see
Fluid connector 16 also includes a bottom surface 16D. The bottom surface includes at least a portion thereof dimensioned to interfere with foot 12F of leg 12E as the fluid connector moves towards the down position to urge the foot away from first end 14F of fluid flow channel 14E.
The bottom surface of the fluid connector may include recessed area 16H (see
As seen in
It may also be appreciated with reference to these illustrations that the novel septum 114 shows a raised nose 144F (
Arm engaging members 112H and 112H′ of base 112 are seen to include lip portion 113H and 113H′ such that when the fluid connector is urged to a down position the lip portion may engage corresponding notches 116Z (see
Fluid connector 116 has a near end 116A and a removed end 116B. Sidewalls 117C are located at removed end 116B. Cross-arm 116C which is designed to removably and snuggly engage lip portion 112C of the base. The hook portion sidewalls snuggly and slidably engage sidewalls 117C of the fluid connector as the fluid connector is moved between a raised and lowered position. On the underside of the fluid connector there is seen a recessed area 116H dimensioned for receipt of the septum and the septum seat. When the fluid connector moves to a down position there is a wall 116Y (see
One preferred embodiment of the present invention for a "septumless" infusion system is illustrated in
Infusion assembly 200 is seen to be "septumless." It is seen to include a pivoting fluid connector 216 for engagement with a base 212, the fluid connector being rotatable between a use (delivery) and a non-use (non-delivery) position. The base 212 has a flat bottom portion 212A. A soft and flexible cannula 212B is provided and defines a lumen therein. Cannula 212B extends vertically downward from the flat bottom portion of the base.
The base may include walls defining a cutout portion 212C which serves as a hinge section. The cutout is shaped for receipt of a hinge section of the fluid connector as set forth in more detail below. The cutout includes vertical paired sidewalls 212D which will engage and guide the fluid connector (when hingedly engaged with the base) from a non-delivery (or "up") position to a delivery position (or "down" position) as set forth below. The base may include vertically projecting alignment bosses 212E for engagement with the fluid connector to assist in guiding the fluid connector to a down or delivery position. The base may also include vertically upstanding legs 212F and 212G (
Turning to
Turning now to
A mechanism for moving the slide between the two positions is provided. When the fluid connector is removed from the base, the slide should be in the protected position placed there manually by the user. When the fluid connector is engaged to the base and urged to the down position, it is seen that the use of a pair of novel cams 216J and 216K (
Turning now back to the "septumless" sealing means, it may be seen that the pair of members, at least one of which is resilient, may take on a variety of configurations. For example, it has been discussed above that a simple "O" ring in conjunction with interference with a bottom surface of the fluid connector may comprise a fluid sealing pair so as to encircle the joint between the channel of the fluid connector and the channel of the seal or base, so as to join fluid flowing through the fluid connector to the lumen of the cannula and then into the patient.
Although the invention has been described with reference to a specific embodiments, this description is not meant to be construed in a limiting sense. On the contrary, various modifications of the disclosed embodiments will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reference to the description of the invention. It is therefore contemplated that the appended claims will cover such modifications, alternatives, and equivalents that fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

text: Steel Kiss is described as a "dirty mauve with green pearl." Swatched, it is a taupe-shimmered, muted dark brown with subtle warm, caramel undertones. It has multi-colored, fine shimmer–very much to the tune of Oh My Darling. Applied, they do look different, as Steel Kiss gives lips a warmer, browner appearance–slightly darkening–with plenty of shimmer. It wore well for almost three hours. As with Oh My Darling, I didn't feel like shades I thought of were similar enough, as they were less dimensional, but here were the ones I considered: see comparison swatches.
