Old Sebastian Lathe
Hi there, new to the forum but I think it will help me out a lot, from what I have read so far anyway.
My lathe is labelled 'Sebastian, Cincinatti Ohio'. It is not quite complete and looks to have been messed about a fair bit in it's no doubt long career. No idea of the history of it, I got it off ebay a year or so back, and that guy I bought it off had only had it a few years and supposedly only used it to turn bits of wood?
I have used it to make a few bits and bobs for my car project, but I haven't spun a lathe since high school, so I'm pretty rough. You know the story, always wanted a lathe, then one comes up cheap and you're like "what do I do now?"
I'd like to restore it a bit (once car if finished I think) and make sure it's in good working order. If anyones got any tips on specific things to check it would be great. I plan to turn a test lenght to check alignment, but I don't have a tailstock centre yet. Would I be right in assuming it's a Morse taper No. 2? Can anyone tell from the photos?
Anyway, even though it's probably a hundred years old, It's still got a bit of life left, with any luck it might last another hundred.
Will post pics in a minute.
Welcome to Practical Machinist!
My lathe is labelled 'Sebastian, Cincinatti Ohio'
The head and tailstock of the lathe below are both MT2; IIRC Sebastian used a center that was a bit longer than standard, but regular MT2 tooling still fit just fine.

OK, fair enough, you got me there. I'm an Aussie and don't have to type Cincinnati very often.
Here are pics of mine. Sorry some are a bit random.
On comparing them just now mine does look a little different. Slightly newer maybe? Can anyone date it? I wonder how it came to be in Australia and what it has been up to?

Looks good!
Welcome aboard! Although I can't help with dating your lathe, just a couple of observations....
First of all, it looks to be in pretty good shape and quite useable. No abuse and that's good. It should come in handy for many projects you didn't even know you needed a lathe for!
Did you get a small pile of threading gears along with it? If not, you'll have find/make some if threading is called for. For straight turning it should work fine. Run it slow...those old spur gears weren't meant for "high speed". Just keep them lubed and enjoy your new power to create.
The top of the carriage is something I've never seen before on a small lathe. Those T slots would be VERY handy........most lathes have them only on the carriage "wings". Frankly, I wish I had something similar on my lathe.
I can't spell Cinn....Sinnsanat........I can't spell it either!
Whoever repowered it from its overhead line shaft days had no clue about how slow it should go. If that is the usual 1750 rpm motor your Sebastian goes way too fast. Tough on the old plain (bronze or Babbitt) spindle bearings.
Here are the various taper specs:
John Oder
Wasn't the above lathe actually a former treadle lathe? Judging by the treatment of the legs and comparing it to the lathe in the link below, it would seem so.
I see many similarities, and just a few differences---mainly that nice T-slotted carriage, whereas mine had T slots on the saddle wings. The tailstocks are different as well, though the 2 treadle lathes appear the same except the handwheel.
If I had to guess, I would say the above Aussie lathe is much older than the Sebastian I show. Mine was factory equipped for an electric motor and intergal countershaft.

Agree that it might have been a treadle lathe originally, as overall construction is pretty light for lineshaft power. Looks to be in OK shape, but as noted, the gearing could use a bit of lubrication.

Thanks for the info guys. Yes it probably was a treadle lathe. The legs seem to have some holes that may have held an axle thru the middle as per the pictured one. The motor arrangement is not exactly factory style so I thought it was either line shaft or treadle.
I hadn't thought much about the T-slots, other than that they would come in very handy, I figured they would have been pretty standard. I might look at getting an angle block and a milling vice for it as I have a need to mill something at present.

need help
Hi Ken
I have a same lathe as the picture mine had a broken gear on the main spindle which I made a new one. It's missing the flywheel and linkinge needed to make this work with the foot pedal. My goal is to bring it back to original. Somebody had put a motor on it but it's coming off. Could you tell me what size the o.d. of the flywheel is on the largest diameter. Does anyone know the original color
thanks for your help
Actually it's just Cincy to those of us who grew up there. Parts for your lathe are still available from a company in Covington Kentucky (Across the bridge from Cincy) though I am at a loss right now remembering the company's name. Mine is a bit newer. Earl

Don't forget Australia uses a 50 Hz power supply, so the most common single phase motor runs at about 1425 RPM. If this is a 1425 RPM motor, and the countershaft drive pulleys are 3" and 10", this would give the intermediate direct speed about 425 RPM, still a bit fast, but probably not enough to cause major problems in light usage?
If the pulley on the motor is 3" and the countershaft one is 12" this would give an intermediate direct drive speed of around 350 RPM, which should be somewhere about right for this lathe, should it not, or is that still a bit fast for Babbitt? The recommended direct drive intermediate speed for my old similar sized lathe which has bronze headstock bearings was 300 RPM, which gives a top speed of 600 RPM at the fastest belt setting.
Not wanting to hijack the thread,but Bigearl67 posted a picture of a Sebastion gear head that looks similar to one I have. What I need are the spindle rpm numbers on the two shift levers on the headstock. On the left lever the numbers in the top row(yellow) are visible,but the second row ,the red set has been hammered out due to storing the chuck wrench by hanging between the levers. All the numbers or writing on the right lever are unreadable. If Earl or someone else could E-mail me this info Iwould be grateful.
One thing to be very careful of on the gear head Sebastion lathes (and possibly the cone heads) is not to run the cross feed to the extremes under power. There is no slip clutch, or shear pin, and you will break some of the bevel gearing in the apron. The last of the series had a rather crude mechanism to kick the feed off, when facing outwards. This was at the edge of the apron, to the right of the cross slide, and it was very apparent what it was there for, and how it worked. The gears could still be broken facing in an inward direction, however.
Herb Kephart
Herb is right about running the cross feed to its extreme, here is what happened to mine and the ensuing repair.
Paul, Mine are buggered up as well, however I do have an original manual if you or anyone else needs it I can make a copy. Just PM me. Earl.

That t-slotted cross slide could well be a later shop-built addition, patterned after a Myford lathe. Casting kits were (and still are) available to make the modification on various lathes.

When Jeff and Jerry Jarrett – longtime Tennessee wrestling fixtures – started their TNA promotion eight years ago, they were considered more than a little nutty.
A couple of years earlier, the behemoth World Wrestling Entertainment gobbled up its major competitor – World Championship Wrestling – essentially making itself the only national professional wrestling promotion, relegating smaller companies to regional promotions that were lucky if they got on cable-access television.
But the Jarretts were savvy – in the days before cable-wrestling and pay-per-views, father Jerry ran the major Tennessee promotion, which produced stars like Jerry Lawler – and Jeff was a successful wrestler in his own right.
They started small – shows at Nashville's fairgrounds, broadcast pay-per-view only or on-demand over the Internet (now commonplace, but at that time eyebrow-raising). TNA built a small but loyal following, drawn by the novelty of a hexagonal ring and cult performers.
Eventually, TNA scored a weekly spot on the Spike network, and regularly toured the country – and overseas – with its performers.
The woman behind it all is CEO Dixie Carter. With a background that includes representing record labels, performers and athletes, Carter has been involved with TNA from the start. And when TNA ran short of money, she persuaded Panda Energy, started in 1982 by her parents, Robert and Janice Carter, to invest in the company and become the majority owner.
The challenge for TNA – one of the 2010 Nashville Post Fast50 [2] – is that WWE is a known quantity, one people understand and enjoy. The McMahon clan has plenty of cash – see Linda McMahon's largely self-funded run for Senate in Connecticut – and people keep clicking the turnstiles and their remotes to watch the big boys.
As has been the case from the beginning, TNA has to be nimble and creative.
The company has long touted its X Division – a collection of mostly lighter-weight wrestler performing high-flying, dangerous maneuvers – as opposed to the WWE's emphasis on the classic, oversized titans. But there's another difference for wrestling viewers – one that can be seen right at the beginning of the show in the upper-right-hand corner. WWE's Smackdown and Raw programs carry a TV-PG rating. TNA is TV-14, the next level up, allowing for bluer trash talk and bloodier matches.
TNA officials say they recognize their core audience is an older, more mature fan base – also the reason the promotion was willing to spend the money to bring in legends like Hulk Hogan and, more recently, Rick Flair.
TNA is a privately held company and as such, does not disclose exact revenue figures, but the company does say its EBIDTA (earnings before interest, depreciation, taxes and amortization) grew 75 percent between 2008 and 2009. That may have inspired the company to take a bold step – going head-to-head on Monday nights against WWE's Raw ratings giant.
It didn't work – TNA's share dipped below 1 for the first time in years, and Raw's share stayed level.
TNA went back to Thursday nights for its weekly shows, and ratings have recovered. The company continues to expand its European presence – where it is wildly popular – with regular tours and two weekly television shows.
The company stays aggressive with its talent, too – scoring a spot on The Daily Show for hardcore legend, essayist and New York Times bestselling author Mick Foley, who appeared at Jon Stewart's Washington, D.C., Rally for Sanity. The Cummins Station offices include what is Nashville's highest-tech high-definition television studio, used for cutting interviews and other non-ring action, which are themselves produced in Florida for the most part.
Almost a decade in, TNA is no longer the plucky upstart trying to unseat the big dog. Recognizing it's sometimes better to mine loyalty from a smaller but committed fan base instead of gnawing at the leg of a giant, Carter and company are fast on their way to staking a permanent claim in what might have been a homogenous wrestling landscape.

When skipping to another string, often the first note is hammered on "from nowhere" by one of the fret-hand fingers [indicated by "H"]. Strive for an even attack and volume note to note, making each hammer-on quick and firm. When pulling off, flick the string slightly sideways, in toward the palm.

Did the car sit very low to the ground?
I had an Alero, and I had to pretty much "drop" in to the seat to get in and crawl out! I'm looking for something that sits like a Vibe, but I really like the reviews and PRICE of the Honda Civic. I've found one that is very reasonable, but my husband says he thinks they sit as low as my other car.
What do you think?

BU volleyball dominates tourney
The Baker University volleyball team got its season off to a good start, winning all four of its matches during the Preseason Heart of America Athletic Conference Tournament Friday and Saturday at Collins Gym.
"Well, it's different since we have been 0-4 at the preseason tournament the last two years," coach Kathy Allen said. "It feels pretty good. I would rather win than lose."
Allen said it was nice to play the tournament at Collins this season.
"It's definitely nice to play at home," Allen said. "It's nice to be in an air-conditioned facility. A lot of the conference facilities aren't air conditioned. This tournament can be really hot."
Not only did the team go 4-0 during the tournament, it only lost a solitary game during the tournament.
In all the team defeated conference foes Benedictine College (30-27, 30-28, 30-25), Avila University (30-21, 30-11, 31-29), Central Methodist University (30-25, 30-19, 30-29) and Evangel College (30-27, 30-28, 27-30, 30-28).
"Each team that we played has its own flavor that we had to get used to," Allen said.
Sophomore setter Jenifer Koelzer, a first-team All-HAAC selection last year, helped direct the Wildcats on the court. Koelzer also implemented a new jump-set that allowed for the Baker offense to be quicker and more unpredictable.
"Jenifer Koelzer was nothing short of phenomenal," Allen said. "She averaged almost 14 assists per game for the weekend, which is just huge."
The Wildcats, who were picked second in the preseason conference poll behind only Lindenwood University, play in the College of the Ozarks Classic Friday and Saturday in Branson, Mo. Then they play host to conference foe William Jewell College at 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday at Collins Center.

The visibility dropped to less than a mile briefly here at the office with shallow radiation/ground cooling fog. Clouds over parts of the cwfa should limit fog development, but where it stays clear, some dense fog is obviously possible/likely. Will watch trends for a possible fog advisory for the morning commute. So far we have not seen sustained or widespread very low visibility. Otherwise, the weather looks quiet with a sfc ridge of high pressure beginning to shifting off to the east late tonight. Fog will again be a concern for tonight, mainly for the southern and eastern cwfa where sfc/low level winds will be somewhat weaker closer to the exiting sfc ridge. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 0330 AM CDT WED OCT 07 2015 No major changes to the forecast other than some minor timing issues. The upper level ridge over the area will weaken and shift off to the east as a shortwave and associated cold front approach from the west. Light sw sfc winds will boost temperatures Thursday afternoon with low 80s common for afternoon high temperatures. Timing may be slightly slower than previous guidance, but there is good general agreement for a cold frontal passage Thursday night. Most of the rain will be close to and behind the front with some rain lingering into Friday, especially over the southern- southeast cwfa. Severe storms are not expected given modest instability. General rainfall amounts will be relatively light as well. Sfc high pressure will quickly move in behind the front with chilly temperatures by Friday night and early Saturday. Upper level ridging will shift east into the area over the weekend and associated sfc high pressure will move off to the east, so expect a quick warming trend Saturday into Sunday. Another shortwave and cold front will move through the area late Sunday night/early Monday. A lack of deep moisture return will greatly limit or preclude rain chances. Highs will be back up to the low 80s in many areas for Sunday, well above normal for early-mid October. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday Afternoon) Issued at 1209 PM CDT WED OCT 07 2015 VFR conditions will prevail this afternoon and evening as an upper level ridge remains over the area. Scattered to broken afternoon cumulus is expected to remain over the area before dissipating tonight. With some clearing overnight there is some potential for fog early Thursday morning.

Morning Meditations for October 15
Daily Light's Morning Reading
God is my defence.—PSA. 59:9.
The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; the God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour.—The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.—We may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.—Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
For thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
II Sam. 22:2,3. -Psa. 28:7.Isa. 59:19. -Heb. 13:6.Psa. 27:1.Psa. 125:2. -Psa. 63:7.Psa. 31:3.
Spurgeon's Morning Reading
"But who may abide the day of his coming?"
Malachi 3:2
His first coming was without external pomp or show of power, and yet in truth there were few who could abide its testing might. Herod and all Jerusalem with him were stirred at the news of the wondrous birth. Those who supposed themselves to be waiting for him, showed the fallacy of their professions by rejecting him when he came. His life on earth was a winnowing fan, which tried the great heap of religious profession, and few enough could abide the process. But what will his second advent be? What sinner can endure to think of it? "He shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked." When in his humiliation he did but say to the soldiers, "I am he," they fell backward; what will be the terror of his enemies when he shall more fully reveal himself as the "I am?" His death shook earth and darkened heaven, what shall be the dreadful splendour of that day in which as the living Saviour, he shall summon the quick and dead before him? O that the terrors of the Lord would persuade men to forsake their sins and kiss the Son lest he be angry! Though a lamb, he is yet the lion of the tribe of Judah, rending the prey in pieces; and though he breaks not the bruised reed, yet will he break his enemies with a rod of iron, and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. None of his foes shall bear up before the tempest of his wrath, or hide themselves from the sweeping hail of his indignation; but his beloved blood washed people look for his appearing with joy, and hope to abide it without fear: to them he sits as a refiner even now, and when he has tried them they shall come forth as gold. Let us search ourselves this morning and make our calling and election sure, so that the coming of the Lord may cause no dark forebodings in our mind. O for grace to cast away all hypocrisy, and to be found of him sincere and without rebuke in the day of his appearing.
Old Testament Chapter a Day — Exodus 38
38. The Altar, Basin, and Courtyard
1And he made the altar of burnt-offering of acacia wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof, foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof. 2And he made the horns thereof upon the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of one piece with it: and he overlaid it with brass. 3And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, the flesh-hooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass. 4And he made for the altar a grating of network of brass, under the ledge round it beneath, reaching halfway up. 5And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grating of brass, to be places for the staves. 6And he made the staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with brass. 7And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, wherewith to bear it; he made it hollow with planks.
8And he made the laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, of the mirrors of the ministering women that ministered at the door of the tent of meeting.
9And he made the court: for the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits; 10their pillars were twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. 11And for the north side a hundred cubits, their pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver. 12And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver. 13And for the east side eastward fifty cubits. 14The hangings for the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three; 15and so for the other side: on this hand and that hand by the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three. 16All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen. 17And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver; and the overlaying of their capitals, of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver. 18And the screen for the gate of the court was the work of the embroiderer, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court. 19And their pillars were four, and their sockets four, of brass; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals, and their fillets, of silver. 20And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.
21This is the sum of the things for the tabernacle, even the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest. 22And Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Jehovah commanded Moses. 23And with him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skilful workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in fine linen.
24All the gold that was used for the work in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 25And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: 26a beka a head, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that passed over to them that were numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men. 27And the hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; a hundred sockets for the hundred talents, a talent for a socket. 28And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their capitals, and made fillets for them. 29And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels. 30And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tent of meeting, and the brazen altar, and the brazen grating for it, and all the vessels of the altar, 31and the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the gate of the court, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.

The Growing Demand for Online Korean Fashion
All the Korean drama shows and the popularity of Kpop artists have paved the way for a new trend that is Korean fashion. Korean men and women are known for their fancy accessories, hairstyles and clothing, and they've inspired many people from all over the world to follow in their footsteps. Korea is essentially all about trends. Its people enjoy picking a fashion idea and taking it to a whole new level. They like to be colorful, unique and impeccably styled, which is why Westerners and other Asian countries look up to Koreans for fashion inspiration. In general, the clothing is mid-way between tight fitting and loose fitting clothes. They also love wearing asymmetrical clothing – they seem to have a passion for clothes that are whimsical and weird at the same time. Finally, their designers are fond of using laces in all patterns, texture and colours. The interesting thing about it is that it's always a complete package. You'd be hard pressed to find a Korean woman wearing a fashionable dress without pairing it with an equally fashionable pair of shoes, hairstyle, makeup and jewelry. They take pride in their looks and it shows in their fashion choices. Because of the Hallyu influence, the demand for online Korean fashion has increased significantly in the last 3-5 years with no signs of stopping in the near future. Most women in Malaysia are always looking for "borong baju wanita terkini lengan panjang" and "pembekal pakaian wanita murah di Malaysia". If you're planning to shop for it, it's important to decide which sites to shop at. With the thousands of websites selling Korean apparel, you can never be too sure about the quality of their items.

3 Wise Ways to Tie Your PR to Sales
It's the definitive question in C-suites, boardrooms and industry conferences: is there a correlation between PR and sales? It's safe to say that, as a whole, communicators have not done a stellar job at demonstrating the link between PR and the top or bottom line.
While PR can sometimes directly be tied to sales, I am not espousing that it should always be tied to sales. Rather, your role as a valuable public relations practitioner includes demonstrating a return on investment from your PR efforts (refer to #3 in the Barcelona Principles). That "return" is not always about revenue; it's about building awareness, improving reputation, informing stakeholders, and more.
There's only so much you can control when it comes to the actual sales close. But you can be a part of ensuring there are processes in place to draw a correlation between your performance and that of your organization. Get familiar with your typical customer's buying journey and understand that your sales team comes into the journey rather late in the game. Consultant Debbie Qaquish, in a column on prnewsonline, explains rather adeptly how PR can, and why it should, augment sales.
What's missing in many organizations is a collaborative approach in which the marketing mix includes PR from start to finish: PR is not thrown into the mix half way for good measure. It's not sprinkled onto the mix as a nice to have ingredient and it's not heaped on at the end to give it flavor. Rather, PR is a formidable ingredient in an organization's marketing mix. For this to happen, the leaders in an organization need to believe in the power of PR and you need to preach what you practice. Here are 3 ways to begin connecting your PR efforts to sales:
1. Talk to your sales team regularly. Do you know who the top salespeople are at your organization? Ask them what their clients are saying about your brand and products. Equip the salespeople with supporting data, materials and anything you think would help them sell more. Set up monthly meetings with your sales colleagues, with the goal being to give them the updates, trends, thought leadership pieces and other supporting materials that will set them apart from competitors. You can't sell for them but you can sell with them.
"Run your communications team like a sales team," advises Mark Stouse, vice president at BMC Software, in a recent Q&A with PR News. "Focus on aligning your marketing and communications efforts with the three legs of sales productivity — demand generation, deal expansion and deal velocity."
2. Know SEO. Search engine optimization is not the sole domain of IT, Marketing or an outsourced firm. Optimize your content so it's landing high in search results and attracting the right eyeballs. Whether you're on WordPress or a custom content management system, you need to make your words sing louder and live longer online. There are countless tools available to learn the keywords your prospective customers are using (such as SEO Moz) and helpful PR/SEO workshops, but there's no gaming the system. Produce fresh, relevant content and you'll increase traffic, which should boost sales. Whether it's Google Analytics or a premium tool, track your visitors' conversion rate so you can prove that what your department is producing online results in positive, monetizable action.
3. Optimize social for sales. Understand your audience behavior on social. Work with your marketing team to drive traffic to your Pinterest board or your Facebook page and don't be afraid to sell them something while they're there. You might currently be investing in social promotions and advertising, so why not complement those efforts with direct selling on your own social pages? Additionally, if your press release is not optimized with multimedia and unique links to points of sales (where applicable) then you are wasting a good press release opportunity.
There will come a day when we stopping putting a question mark after PR's role in the marketing mix and its tremendous value to organizational growth. But this will require an integrated communications approach and a collaborative spirit. Do you have it in you?

6 Business-Meeting Do's, and 6 Absolute Don'ts
So you have a major meeting this week. Let's say it's a really important client meeting. You just landed a big account, and now you're working out the details of who's going to manage what. Or maybe the corporate communications department is tasked with implementing a social media and earned media campaign for a new branding initiative. It could even simply be an important cross-department meeting on employee relations.
The details differ, but the stakes are always the same. This is strategically important. It always strikes me as odd, then, that behavior in meetings is like the Wild West. It's remarkable how norms for meeting etiquette vary so much. It depends on the company culture, and even on senior person present. I've seen people on their computers and phones for extended periods when they're in meetings with the CEO. Or with a client. Wait, who—or what—is more important than that? I've seen people leave sales calls and return 10 minutes later—to me that's absolutely unacceptable.
I've seen senior managers ignore or forgive favored folks for that kind of behavior while getting upset at others. A lot of the cues come from the managers, and too often, the managers are too busy with other things, or other agendas, to enforce decorum.
So here's my list. Basically, as a communications pro, you should always behave in a meeting as you would if you were on the agency side and meeting with a prospective client or, if you're in-house, with your C-suite.
Here are the do's:
• Come prepared with ideas.
• Pay attention at all times.
• Do more listening than talking. You learn more, and people who withhold comment until they have something really important to say only enhance the importance of what they're saying, because they're perceived as deliberate and wise.
• Don't interrupt. (There are at least two exceptions: When you're the boss and someone is droning incessantly. When you're a participant and the speaker is factually incorrect and droning incessantly.)
• Sit up straight.
• Take notes, but don't take them on your computer because you look like you're on e-mail.
And here are some don'ts:
• Don't open your computer and give the screen more attention than the meeting.
• Don't engage with your phone for e-mail or anything else.
• Don't conduct side conversations.
• Don't leave the room unless absolutely necessary.
• On conference calls, don't mute the phone and do other tasks.
• Manage conflict well. If you're debating, always offer a solution.
What other important items of business-meeting etiquette are there? What rules can you share?

7 Ways to Shake Up Your Routine This Week
At a yoga class the other day, the instructor excitedly and in a heavy whisper told us she was going to shake things up a bit. "We're not going to do the same moves you're used to." I peered down the hall at the Spinning class and contemplated rolling up my yoga mat and making my way there. I am glad I stuck with yoga that day because it not only stretched my limbs, it challenged my mind in new ways beyond the 60-minute class.
The instructor was nervous about these changes and kept apologizing: "Sorry, but no Downward Dog today!" It was all about Child's Pose. "Be a Warrior," she declared, as she implored us to just forget about Mountain Pose today. The Seated Twist was totally new to this class, and you could hear the grunts over the soothing music. "I hope you'll forgive me for requiring a different path today. I only wish it gets you thinking about what routine you may change in your life this week."
It was a Sunday and I decided to take her literally. From Yoga I went grocery shopping and started my excursion in reverse – Aisle 18 (milk and eggs) rather than my typical starting point of fruits and vegetables, Aisle 1.
I had a spare half hour for a manicure. Instead I got a pedicure and selected a nail color that my 10-year-old niece would have chosen for herself. My yoga instructor would either be proud or appalled.
Later that night, I made my to-do list for the coming week. I put family things first on this list, then work items, and within the work to-do's I listed only 2 things (rather than 10) for each day. I handed the sticky note to my husband to check it out. "Why are you showing me this?" he asked. I said, "Because I never show you my to-do list." It was not exactly a romantic moment, but it was different.
At work, there are a lot of ways to shake up your routine. I'm not referring to barging into your boss's office and asking for a raise, throwing your old computer on the floor demanding a new one, or launching a new product for a new audience. I'm talking about the little things you can do to rejuveniate, to challenge your muscle memory and to think of your day's work in different and possibly more creative ways. This week, consider these changeups:
1. Walk down a different hallway to your office or cubicle: you'll run into colleagues you normally don't interact with and see areas of your work environment you never pay attention to.
2. Discard one item for every year you've worked at your company – pieces of paper you know you're never going to read or need, items gathering dust, old plasticware. (Crumbs don't count.)
3. Go to a competitor's Web site, find something great there, and share it with your team in a positive, non-defensive way.
4. Favor a different social media platform: if you spend the bulk of your social media time on Twitter, for this week spend more time on Facebook, Pinterest, Tumblr, Google+ or LinkedIn. Post, respond, join a conversation.
5. Ask a colleague if you could shadow him or her for a few hours. Assuming this will be kosher with the highers-up, consider spending 120 minutes with your IT guy or 120 in Accounting; or a few hours with Marketing.
6. Go to lunch with a colleague you don't know well. It might not sound appetizing, but chances are you'll find common interests and learn something new about her and your company.
7. Write with pen and paper: Send a thank you note to 3 people: one person you work with, one customer or client, and someone who's influenced you in your career. Don't forget to mail it.
Just as my yoga instructor got me thinking in new ways, I hope this list will inspire you to shake up your routine and start to see new things in your environment and different ways of approaching work.
And with that, Namaste.

9 Social Media Tips that You Can't Afford to Overlook
If you weren't at the PR News Social Media Summit last week, I forgive you. But really, you should try to attend an upcoming conference of ours because you are going to pick up a lot of unique, sound and creative tactics and strategies – what we like to call "stealable ideas" – that will move your PR and marketing efforts forward more than a notch. I must confess that I am engaging in shameless content marketing as I write this blog post. I get very excited after one of our PR News events and want to share some (not all!) of the gleanings from the day's event. So herewith I present 9 really smart social media tips to get your week off to a #greatstart. These are made possible by our outstanding summit speakers, attendees and sponsoring partners.
- Best quote of the conference: "No one wants to be friends with a butter cracker." Kathryn Sheaffer, brand manager for Ritz Crackers, so aptly summed up the challenge of Facebook communications for brands. Be realistic about your brand's presence on social media and engage with your fans in realistic ways.
- Get a few social platforms rights, then start to take chances on others. In other words, don't dive into the entire social media pool. Pick a few lanes to swim in first, be it Twitter and Pinterest, or Linkedin and Facebook, master your strokes there, then start exploring other waters.
- Take your press release off cruise control. First of all, the press release is not dead. But the old-fashioned press release should be put out to pasture. Make sure your releases are optimized for search, have multimedia components that drive stakeholder engagement, are written well and most of all, are interesting!
- Tweet short: A tweet that's less than 100 characters lifts share rate by 17%. You thought 140 characters was short? Think again.
- During a crisis, Twitter is for news and Facebook is for hugs. Don't mix it up.
- Great question posed to the audience: Why don't PR pros do more A/B testing with their campaigns? Smart advice from Brandon Andersen of Cision, noting that A/B testing goes to the heart of Marketing 101 yet the PR discipline often overlooks this smart exercise in testing your messaging, be it on social media or in a traditional PR campaign.
- You cannot automate judgment. With all the talk of data mining, programmatic and cloud-based communication, the truth is that people still drive decisions. Make sure you put a premium on good judgment when hiring talent and executing on campaigns.
- Content marketing is a commitment not a campaign. Most brands are engaging in some type of brand journalism and the jury's out on how well it's working. Those committed to content marketing, weaving it into their marketing-PR matrix rather than a one-off campaign here and there, are most likely to succeed in this area.
- Visuals are the new headlines. A picture is worth a lot more than 1,000 words. Invest in video, infographics, photography and graphics. Take time to learn about Vine and Instagram. See what your audience is seeing and then give them some of that.
I hope you'll heed a few of these tips and let me know how it goes for you. Also feel free to add a kernel of advice below.

Business Conversations That Make Me Lose Sleep
Which workplace exchanges do you find to be most difficult? For most people, they're centered on two things: Personnel and performance. Both of these things straddle the worlds of internal communications and HR, and both are also general managerial challenges.
I recently read an interesting column in Business Insider about the toughest conversations you can have at work. They were:
1. The Emotional Dismissal Conversation
2. The Awkward Personality Conversation
3. The Underperformance Conversation
All these are tough, but they are typically part of the same progression, and the progression usually starts with number three above, and ends with number one. Here are the toughest workplace conversations, from my perspective, and how I proceed.
These kinds of issues run the gamut—from people who are squabbling, to turf wars, to folks who simply don't work well together. Sometimes goals don't sync up. Other times, actual performance doesn't fit the needs of the job, and that's typically when the three-conversation pattern that Business Insider described kicks in. To my mind, all of these things are a huge challenge and all of them divert from the common business goal.
I've learned over the years that a sustained, tight focus on performance is the way to go. There should be no politics, no gossiping, just set a tone for the group that all you care about is results. Results require collaboration. Keeping everyone focused on that creates a sense of confidence that relaxes a group and empowers them to experiment and achieve.
Business Relationships
This is another difficult area, but for communicators, it's critical. Everyone from entry-level account managers to CEOs deals with either external clients, or with the public. Think of how frequent it is that a lower-level employee embarrasses a brand on social media, either when representing the company, or through some personal post that goes viral.
Of course, we're talking about conversations—whether with a subordinate or a colleague, or with an external customer. I've learned you can't wing it when it comes to customer conversations. Too much is at stake. Policies that everyone knows about and understands are critical, and these have to come from the top. I've had many conversations with customers in my career, and when business is on the line, they can be really tense. For me, the way to ensure that you preserve the business—if that's the goal, sometimes it isn't—the relationship has to come first. (This is a bit counter-intuitive, because I just stressed the importance of policies.) If your customers trust that you have their interests at heart, and you have thought through their challenges and understand their objectives—you'll keep the business. If they feel like you're officious, and policy-bound, you won't. Never use the word "unfortunately." That conveys a focus on your internal policy, not on customer-service. It is also condescending. Never use the phrase, "We're not set up to do that" for the same reasons. Always be ready with a solution or two.
Business Performance
For a lot of professionals, in PR and elsewhere, this is always a stress-inducing conversation, especially if you've fallen short of your goals. But it doesn't have to be. Putting aside the possibility of the fundamental lack of skills to do a job, most business-performance shortfalls relate to external factors in the market, not to your execution. So it really is an opportunity to shape a conversation about missing goals into the cool ways you're going to pivot to adjust to changes in the market.
What are the business conversations you struggle with the most, and what advice can you offer?

The One Thing Every PR Person Needs to Do
"PR is losing its leadership position in Social." That's what the founder of a new company that provides social media measurement/monitoring tools to brands told me the other day when I asked about his target audience. He continued to note that "PR got too comfortable" and now Marketing, Advertising and automated services are taking over Social.
Let's say we had a friendly disagreement over his claim, as I defended PR's role in Social and shared stories gleaned from the PR News front lines of communicators' role in driving social media. But perception can be reality, as we know.
If there's a sector of the marketplace that is devaluing PR's role in any medium, then every PR professional needs to do a better job of tying Social and other activities to the metrics that matter to their organization. Just as importantly, we need to make sure we're communicating our success stories – effectively and regularly. That is one thing every PR person needs to do to help advance the communications profession.
Take a lesson from the trope about the cobbler's children having no shoes. As communicators, you're busy doing PR. Your days are filled speaking with stakeholders, writing, listening, measuring and implementing. Do you sometimes forget to tend to your PR success stories? It's the last mile of your efforts: to communicate your successes not only to your superiors but to your superiors' superiors, to the media, to your counterparts in Marketing, Finance, HR, IR, IT and Sales. I'd like to think the cobbler eventually noticed that he forgot to provide shoes for his own kids. PR needs to take care of its own, as well.
– Diane Schwartz
Path to the Corner Office for Women Is a Shared One
Walk into any gathering of communications professionals and the first thing you'll notice is the large percentage of women—many of them brilliant, accomplished and primed for leadership in corporate America.
Then consider sobering reality: Women hold 4.8% of Fortune 500 CEO positions and 4.8% of Fortune 1000 CEO positions. Within PR itself, at the agency and in-house level, men tend to occupy the corner office.
If there was one dominant theme shared by the honorees at last month's Matrix Awards luncheon presented by New York Women in Communications, it is that meaningful social change moves at a glacier's pace, and only happens through deliberate actions taken by people who see beyond their own immediate self-interest and create a community with shared goals.
Merely deserving or earning corporate leadership and pay equity won't get women there in large numbers. It has to be taken through shared actions. Successful women in communications can further their own cause by connecting with other women like themselves to share ideas and inspiration.
Liz Kaplow, president of New York Women in Communications, and president and CEO of PR agency Kaplow, has focused much of her energy this past year on the advancement of women at all stages of their careers in communications. "We need to break out of our day to day and connect with others to help us navigate what that next step in our career is going to be," Kaplow says. "Especially with women in mid-career who are facing obstacles. They need confidence—they need to be mentored. Women in top leadership roles are willing to be mentors, but we need to get women in mid-career to tell their stories, too."
Mentoring takes time, but it doesn't have to spring from an established mentoring program in a company or from one developed by a professional organization. Rather, it should be a state of mind, and the heart of it, according to Kaplow, is storytelling and conversation.
"In terms of changing the cultural Zeitgeist we have to start mentoring each other," she says. "We really have to keep talking about it. We're communicators. Whether it's Joanna Coles' Cosmo luncheon of the 100 most powerful women or the Matrix Awards, in order to make change there has to be a conversation. And we have to get corporate America behind it so they see it's a win-win and that they see that they don't want to lose that incredible talent."
And if you question your own ability to be a mentor, all you need to do is follow these two simple mentoring guidelines, laid out by Kaplow:
1. Share information easily.
2. Take time to listen and ask questions.
That's all there is to it. Now get out there and be a mentor.

Is There a Game of Thrones Character on Your Team?
I am writing this blog post because I know you either watch Game of Thrones or have to listen to people who watch it. Not that I'm trying to game the system, but let's face it: you need a break from your cerebral workday to think or water-cooler-talk about your favorite TV show, be it Mad Men, Dora the Explorer, The Voice or Game of Thrones.
Just as you can't imagine yourself as an explorer with a talking map or a talented singer whose voice would cause people to turn their chairs, you can't imagine working with someone whose manners and actions smell and feel like a Game of Thrones character. Or can you?
To wit, herewith I present four characters from the May 4 episode "First of His Name" — let me know if any of these folks are akin to people you work with, for or against? Or perhaps one of these characters is a reflection of yourself.
Cersei: she senses that she is not only getting older, but that being a woman may prevent her from running the kingdom. Would her father Tywin even consider his daughter to be his heir? She's a strong woman (deeply flawed and sleeping with her brother – I must add) but are the male leaders even noticing her?
Petyr: he's been pulling all the strings. A savvy, cunning politician whose investment in brothels has resulted in both unparalleled financial acumen and insider knowledge that keeps on giving, Petyr is also known as Littlefinger. Here's the ultimate manipulator who has a nickname that is the antithesis of his true power.
Sansa: always the victim. She goes from one bad situation to another. Now stuck in the house of her aunt Lysa Arryn, she feels helpless and foolish. We're rooting for her to figure out a way to break out and be an independent woman. It is best that she finds her way back home, to Winterfell, and stay put.
Podrick: the loyal one. Formerly the squire to Tyrion Lannister, Pod is asked to testify against Tyrion and refuses. For his safety, he is sent away to be the squire of the very capable Brienne, who discovers that Pod is not a good horseman or cook. But he is loyal and interested in learning new skills. And that is worth something.
For those of you who are diehard Game of Thrones fans, there's no doubt I am insulting you with my perfunctory description of beloved or hated characters. But if we can better understand those around us and improve our communication with characters of all natures, then it will have been worth it.

14 Pieces of PR Advice to Read and Heed
Dispensing advice is a centuries-old activity and it never gets old. When the PR News team decided to produce a Best PR Advice Book, it looked to the smartest people in the room to write it: the speakers and attendees of our PR News conferences. Over the past two years, we've disseminated the little black Advice Book to our conference attendees, asking them to write one piece of advice that has helped them get ahead in their career. With smiles on their faces, our friends of PR News would stare up at the ceiling for a second until they had their Eureka moment, and with pen to paper (most but not all legibly), they'd share an interesting piece of wisdom. Key themes emerged – among them the need to be empathetic, to constantly hone writing skills, to humanize PR efforts, and to not be afraid of failure. The Advice Book is validation and a reminder that the best communications efforts require the best communicators.
I had the honor of editing this first volume of The Best PR Advice Book and enjoyed the contributions from PR professionals from all walks of life and organizations, including Southwest Airlines, Clorox, Easter Seals, IKEA, Raytheon, Weber Shandwick, Ogilvy, AARP, NASCAR, sole practitioners and small businesses. We all know how easy it is to give advice; it's the heeding that's the challenge. The book is divided into chapters based on the themes shared by our community: Social Media, Crisis Management, Leadership, Employee Communications, Media Relations, Agency/Client Relations. Below are some of the highlights. I'd say they are my favorites, but as my mother told me when my second child was born: "Remember, never play favorites."
Check out these words to the wise from your peers who contributed to the Advice Book:
"Empathize before you strategize."
"Don't bury the bad."
"Give social media platforms a face, not a logo."
"Communication is not what you say, it is what the other person hears."
"If you come with a problem, come with two solutions."
"The harder you work, the luckier you get."
"If there is a smile on your face, then there is a smile in your voice."
"Do the job you want before you get it."
"Talk to strangers."
Choose your boss carefully."
"Get on the good side of your IT department."
"Flawless execution of a bad strategy is still a bad strategy."
"You cannot improve what you don't measure."
"Give your people the resources to do their work, then get out of the way."
…Please feel free to add your favorite piece of advice to this blog post, and we'll consider it for the next volume of the PR Advice Book.

9 Tempting Activities You Should Avoid When Attending That Next Conference
We are well into "conference season" when us avid learners hit the streets and land in a semi-comfortable chair in a meeting room or ballroom to do what we love to do most when attending an event: stare at our phones. It's so tempting, right? You have the choice of listening to a panel of speakers share ideas on the very topic that you signed up to hear about; at the same time, there are screens to be tended to, be it your laptop, iPhone, iPad or, if you're lucky, your Google Glass.
Being at a professional conference gives us an incredible opportunity to:
- Meet new people
- Hear amazing speakers
- Hear mediocre speakers, thereby inspiring us to hit the speaker circuit
- Develop new ideas
- Crystallize strategy
- Forge partnerships
- Learn about new technologies
- Un-learn bad habits
- Create a notebook full of smart tactics to take back to the office and implement
Likewise, attending a day-long business conference also allows us to:
- Catch up with old friends on Facebook
- Create a new Pinterest board with summer vacation ideas
- Email your child's teacher about a homework assignment
- Scroll through Instagram and like a lot of photos
- Take a BuzzFeed quiz
- Check out eHarmony (for the singles set)
- Catch up on news via Twitter and search for retweetable items
- Complete an overdue work project — finally, you have time!
- Daydream
Surely, we can take advantage of both opportunities: there's no law preventing you from liking your sister-in-law's latest status update AND listening to panel of speakers share presentations prepared over weekends and late nights (we presume). There's nothing unethical about taking that BuzzFeed quiz about which Game of Throne character you are (I got Arya Stark) while writing down the 7 Barcelona Principles. Nothing wrong with that at all. Except do you now understand what the Barcelona Principles are just because you sat in a room in which it was discussed? My point is that there's a time to Buzzfeed and there's a time to feed your mind with new ideas that will make you smarter, better than your competitors and a valuable contributor to your team.
Next time you're at a conference, try to be "all in" – which doesn't mean 100% listening and engaging. That's impossible, IMHO. If you could just shed half of the bad habits that you personally engage in at conferences, you'll be way ahead of your peers. Maybe I'll see you at our April 8 PR News Measurement Conference and we can share our progress on this front. I will spot you right away – you'll be the one taking notes, asking questions, nodding affirmatively at the speakers and setting goals (which, by the way, is one of the 7 guiding principles of PR).

Second Release Candidate for Open Office 3.0
The OpenOffice project has taken the next step toward version 3.0 of its free office package by publishing release candidate 2 (RC 2)
In a telephone interview, marketing manager Florian Effenberger told Linux Magazine the project was well within schedule, and the two week delay compared with the original timeline was normal, considering the extensive changes being made for major release 3.0. The project still hopes to release the finished openOffice version in the last days of September.
OpenOffice 3.0 RC2 is in Windows, Mac OS X and various Linux formats ready to download, although the project tells us some mirror servers are not yet up to date.

Bouquets to Art @ the de Young
This gorgeous, enormous piece hung in the main room; it consists of 1,500 roses, 1,500 branches, and numerous copper rods!
Every year in March, the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park holds a very special event called Bouquets to Art. This year I was able to attend for the first time! Bouquets to Art is an exhibition of talented floral designers who create floral art inspired by a piece of art in the museum's permanent collection. Many of the designers were present the day I visited so I got to learn a little more about the actual process. In the fall, the de Young contacts designers to ask them to choose the top three pieces that they would like to use as inspiration. The designers wait in anticipation until three weeks before the event to find out which piece the museum has chosen for them. One designer said that she has been waiting for three years to design after the piece she was given this year! Some of the floral pieces are quite literal and others are more abstract representations of the original artwork. Here are some of my favorites:
I especially love this because the painting is of Martin Johnson Heade's Twilight at Singing Beach in Manchester, MA–a beach that I personally love!
Not only did I have the pleasure of enjoying the incredible floral creations, I also visited the Modern Nature: Georgia O'Keeffe and Lake George Exhibit, which is still up for the next few weeks–get there if you are local!
Sprrring forward!
Spring is finally here! Along with beautiful weather, spring is an exciting time for IMPRESSED by nature. With flowers blooming everywhere, natural inspiration is in abundance.

Spring/Summer 2014 Collection
Over the last six months, I have been developing a new collection of pressed flower jewelry. The process was quite organic–all the while intently focused on IMPRESSED by nature's mission: to preserve the brief, wondrous life of a plant, in a simple and stylish way that allows botanical sublimity to speak for itself.
Here is a photo journey to the final product:
July '13
During a trip to LA for Renegade Craft Fair, I happened upon a small bead shop in Silver Lake where I discovered gorgeously unique Picasso-style Czech glass beads. They caught my eye because of their solid, rich color yet rustic look and feel. I had been looking for a way to incorporate new elements to my jewelry–these beads seemed like they would add pops of color as well as a bit of weight.
August '13
I could hardly wait to see what would become of my beaded additions. Here is the first experiment – yellow sunflowers complemented with red beads.
September '13
Bead inspiration and experimentation continue! These turquoise teardrop-shaped Czech glass beads were discovered on a regular run to my local jewelry supply store. You can also see a glimpse into my sketchbook with more new designs! (See these earrings on Etsy!)
October '13
I was so smitten with the Picasso-style Czech glass beads that I discovered in LA that I just had to find more of them! Using Pantone's Spring Color Report, I invested in coral, turquoise, pineapple, and butter pecan beads to accompany my floral beauties.
November/December '13
More colorful experimentation continues! (See these earrings on Etsy!)
January '14
With all designs finalized, I set up product and model photo shoots in January. Here is a view from behind the camera outdoors at my studio. (See these earrings on Etsy!)
The model photo shoot was set in Sonoma with gorgeous and lovely friend, Julia! It was an unseasonably warm and sunny January day–adding warmth to the Spring/Summer "feel" of the shoot.
February '14
After all that hard work, here is the final product…IMPRESSED by nature's Spring/Summer 2014 Line includes two collections. The first is a brand new venture into an exploration of Balance. The inspiration for this collection stems from the curious ways that individuals define and strike balance–from personal life balancing to more tangible manifestations. From a design perspective, I am fascinated by the varied ways to find balance through orientation, weight, texture, material, color, etc. By incorporating vibrant, yet rustic Czech glass beads into my designs, I have delved deeper into what balance means in my work and how it informs my overall aesthetic. The second is a revisit to the Naturalist Collection, which is inspired by the pure essence of nature's bouquet. With limited accompaniments, this collection is designed to highlight the beauty that surrounds us. By using simple designs and earthy copper metal components, the botanical world speaks for itself.

Two cards arrived this week. The card from rince is well done. Only when you get up close do you see that it is not "tack sharp". You did a fine job printing this. The other card is form BoxBrownie, subjects like this are filled with possible images. Except for the age of the car it could have been found at many of the ghost towns in California. The perspective you took makes the car "pop of the paper".
Dennis, thank you for such a kind and gracious analysis of my print. I am very happy that you enjoy the image so much.Originally Posted by rince

A team of advanced students/ professional walking in association under the guidance of a teacher/ adviser. It is a place to discover new ideas, to relook an old idea or to develop insight (lecture, discussion, return demonstration) in connections among ideas. Planning
A. Identify issues and trends
We live in an age of constant scientific discovery, a world shaped by revolutionary new technologies. Just look at your favorite newspaper. The chances are pretty good that in the next few days you'll see a headline about global warming, cloning, fossils in meteorites, or genetically engineered food. Other stories featuring exotic materials, medical advances, DNA evidence, and new drugs all deal with issues that directly affect your life. As a consumer, as a business professional, and as a citizen, you will have to form opinions about these and other science-based issues if you are to participate fully in modern society. B. Map out relevant issues/ trends
Issues and trends are all around us, it's up to us students/ professionals to identify which are relevant and irrelevant to our study or profession.
