Picture: Phil McGraw aka Dr Phil outside the Ed Sullivan Theater for the 'Late Show With David Letterman' New York, USA - 26.04.10
U.S. Tv self-help guru Dr. Phil Mcgraw is urging young Hollywood stars and their parents to use Lindsay Lohan's ongoing troubles as a cautionary tale of how to avoid the pitfalls of Tinseltown.
Just hours after the actress was arrested again following an early-morning brawl in a New York club, MCGraw appeared on Tv news show Access Hollywood Live and he was taking aim at the Mean Girls star and her parents.
The Tv titan hit the headlines in October (12) when he interviewed Lohan's mother Dina, who appeared to be confused and lost during the tense chat about family values and her role in her daughter's fall from grace.
And now he's on the attack again.
MCGraw said, "We talk about the younger generation as though we have nothing to do with. I mean, come on, you've gotta look at the upbringing here and when you look at her parents, you have to put some ownership there.
"What kind of leadership, what kind of role modelling, what kind of examples are we providing kids... I certainly think that that's lacking."
He then turned his attention to Lindsay, who was released from police custody in New York following her arrest on suspicion of assaulting a woman at Manhattan hotspot Club Avenue.
MCGraw added, "Clearly at this point, Lindsay's making some bad decisions. What's she doing out at four o'clock in the morning at this club? What's gonna happen there that's going to enhance her career? I'm guessing zero. Anything that's gonna happen there is gonna be bad."
And he suggested Hollywood newcomers and their parents should take note: "This whole system here in Hollywood is manned with a bunch of sycophant suck-ups, and so you put people in a situation where they're a star and they're young and you don't really know who you are a lot of times.
"You show up on set and there's a couple of hundred people all swirling around you; it can go to a young person's head... Then you put a bunch of staffers in there who tell them what they wanna hear and all of a sudden they're making decisions that they can't take back... and they have a lot of time on their hands... It's just a formula for disaster."

Self-driven microfluidic devices enable fully autonomous handling of very small volumes of liquid samples and reagents. However, many applications require an active control mechanism to trigger self-driven flow in microchannels. Here, we report on capillary soft valves (CSVs), which enable stopping a liquid filling front at a precise location inside a microchannel and can resume flow of liquid upon simple actuation. The working mechanism of a CSV is based on a barrier of capillary pressure induced by an abruptly expanding microchannel. We discuss the influence of wetting conditions on the performance of a CSV and the effect of elevated temperatures on a CSV in its closed state. We introduce design features such as pillars and cavities, as well as fabrication techniques for rounded microchannels, which all may broaden the applicability and robustness of CSVs in microfluidic devices. Finally, we present CSV having multiple inlet channels. CSVs further diversify the toolbox of microfluidic functionalities and yet are simple to implement, fabricate and actuate.
Microfluidics started to have an impact on economically important applications such as chemical biology [
Microfluidic chips in silicon were produced using optical lithography (photoresist AZ6612, thickness ~2 μm, exposed with ultraviolet light through a quartz-chrome mask and developed in AZ 400k, diluted 1:4 in H2O) and deep reactive ion etching (AMS-200SE, Alcatel Micro Machining Systems). The chips were then cleaned in an oxygen plasma (300 W, 120 s). The desired surface chemistry was obtained by immersion of the chip for 30 min into solutions of methacryloxysilane, 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyltrimethoxisilane, glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, allyltri-methoxysilane, PEG-silane (each 1% v/v in ethanol), Pluronic® (1% w/v in H2O) or combinations thereof. Plastic chips having half-circular channel cross-sections were molded from reflown photoresist. First, a mold was fabricated using a silicon wafer with a 50-μm-thick layer of photoresist (AZ40XT) that was patterned using optical lithography, developed and heated to 140 °C to achieve a reflow of the patterned resist. Then, a two-component epoxy resin (Renlam LY 5210 resin and Ren HY5212 hardener) was mixed, poured onto the mold and cured at 60 °C for 8 hours. Finally, chips were released from the mold, treated with an air-based plasma (100 W, 30 s) and immersed into a solution of Pluronic® for 30 min. Prior to use, both types of chips (silicon and plastic) were covered with a 1-mm-thick layer of PDMS (Sylgard 184, Dow Corning) which had an advancing contact angle for water of 110 ± 5°.
The working principle of a CSV is based on the fact that wetting properties and dimensions of a microchannel strongly influence its capillary pressure. A CSV consists of an abruptly expanding channel, which induces a barrier of capillary pressure and stops a liquid filling front at the inlet of the CSV. (
As demonstrated elsewhere, the capillary pressure can be calculated using the following Equation [
Capillary soft valves (CSVs). (
A simulation of the capillary pressure along a microchannel in the silicon chip of
In real applications of CSVs inside microfluidic chips, experimental conditions and physical properties of liquids filling the channels might vary. In the following, we will discuss under what conditions CSVs can be used to stop different liquids filling microchannels and how heating of liquids inside microfluidic chips influences the performance of a CSV. For example, capillary filling of microchannels at temperatures above 60 °C is very challenging because liquid evaporates, condensates further down on the channel walls and forms droplets that eventually fill the entire microchannel and form airbubbles. Therefore, it is preferred to fill the liquid into a heating chamber, then stop the flow temporarily, perform the heating as needed and finally resume the flow of liquid once the temperature has dropped below 60 °C.
Performance of CSVs in varying experimental conditions. (
The simulated capillary pressure supports the classification of stop valves as compared to delay valves. A characteristic of a CSV is the low aspect ratio (
Advanced CSVs having auxiliary structures that help to prevent creeping along corners of microchannels using indentations (
In the following, we propose advanced CSVs having auxiliary structures or half-rounded microchannels, which both address the problem of creeping and may increase the reliability and usability of CSVs for a large variety of liquids.
CSVs enable precise timing for dissolving and mixing reagents, binding of analytes to receptors, and rinsing, which are all critical for diagnostic tests. CSVs have an intrinsic venting mechanism which is essential for capillary-driven microfluidics wherein a filling liquid needs to displace air. CSVs are single-use valves, which do not require power before and after actuation and can be triggered within seconds. Finally, CSVs can be fabricated in various materials including polymers and are therefore a useful approach for cost-sensitive applications and for the microfluidics community in general. We believe that advanced CSVs add important control features to self-driven microfluidics and that a profound understanding of the working mechanism of CSVs is crucial for the development of high-performance microfluidic chips.
Advanced CSVs having half-rounded cross-sections. (

Using synthetic fibers in precast products acts as an insurance policy against breakage and loss, but fibers have other benefits too. In precast operations, they add early strength, help in handling, and save on labor. Although fibers can be used in precast concrete for nonstructural reinforcement, they do not provide structural reinforcement. Fibers add impact resistance and durability. Rebar is still needed in products that require significant reinforcement. For fibers to be most effective, they must be evenly distributed throughout the product. The type of fiber used, its dosage and forms used in precasting make a difference in fuzziness sometimes associated with fibers. This fuzziness is caused when the fibers float to the top of the form. Fuzziness can be eliminated by burning the fibers off or exposing them to the sun. Considerations in selecting a fiber product include economics, handling, and availability of the material. In making your choice of fibers, find a product that has been field tested, and then perform tests on your own.

Well, my impression is that this is exactly what happens here: Something in the XFS code causes metadata to be written to disk _after_ the atomic snapshot. That's why I asked if the dirty XFS metadata were flushed by a kernel thread. Greetings, Rafael -- You never change things by fighting the existing reality. R. Buckminster Fuller

Macquarie, understood to be leading a consortium, is one of six parties that have progressed to the second round, sources told Financial Review Dealbook. Indicative offers to RBS advisers Goldman Sachs are said to have come in at less than $US7 billion, toward the bottom of the $US6 billion to $US8 billion range being sought from the mammoth sale.
A bid of this size must be on the radar of Macquarie's executive committee, led by chief executive
RBS are attempting to sell the entire unit of more than 200 aircraft before the year's end but have also accepted bids for tranches of planes.
Macquarie joins parties such as London-based private equity firm Terra Firma, China Development Bank, Pacific Life Insurance Co's Aviation Capital Group and a joint bid from Onex Corp and BBAM LLC (Babcock & Brown Aircraft Management). Large financial institutions in Japan have also been linked to the contested auction.
Hong Kong Aviation, which purchased the aviation leasing assets of the collapsed Allco Financial Group, was however eliminated from the process earlier this month after it bid less than $US2 billion for a fleet of 48 planes.
The RBS sale is occurring as French banks Société Générale and BNP Paribas are scaling back their involvement in aircraft financing, with stakes in both company's loan portfolios up for sale.

UCLA head coach Ben Howland said he was "surprised" by the depth of a Sports Illustrated article by senior writer George Dohrmann about the demise of a program that advanced to its third consecutive Final Four just five years ago but is in danger of missing the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three years.
The article, which was released via iPad on Tuesday night and online on Wednesday morning, chronicled the fall from grace of a once-proud program, detailing alleged drug abuse and physical violence involving players, the most damning allegations involving forward Reeves Nelson, who was kicked off the team earlier this season.
"Obviously this is not a great day for our program, and of course for me," Howland said during a conference call with the media Wednesday afternoon. " As I said yesterday, I knew some of the details of the Sports Illustrated story, but did not read the entire text until late last night. As you can imagine, I was surprised by some of the assertions that I had no knowledge of, were simply untrue or were taken out of context.
"I'm responsible for this program and everything that happens in it and if there's any need to make changes, I'll make them. I'm proud of our current and former players and our coaches and I'm confident in where we're going as we head forward."
The story said Howland was verbally abusive to his players and staff and turned a blind eye as dysfunction plagued the program.
Regarding the story that included details of players fighting each other, urinating on another's clothes and drug use, even before practice, UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero and chancellor Gene Block participated in a conference call without Howland. Neither would guarantee his job status for next season.
"I've been with Ben for nine years, and he's done some great things for our program, produced some outstanding players, some great teams and some great young men who have gone on and graduated and played professionally or are doing well in society in general," Guerrero said. "Obviously this is a stain on that to some degree.
"We certainly have to pull ourselves together and make certain that which made our program stumble be fixed."
Added Block: "We all know the special place that UCLA basketball holds on this campus and beyond. Any injury to the program is an injury to all of us. Because of this rich legacy, we hold ourselves to a higher standard."
Several of Howland's players voiced support for the embattled head coach, whose Bruins host Washington State today in the
penultimate game of the regular season, who expressed his desire to return to UCLA next season for what would be his 10th season.
"Man, for this story to try and say it was on (Ben Howland) is beyond crazy," former UCLA guard Michael Roll, who played for the team from 2005-06 until the ill-fated 2009-10 season, wrote in a series of Twitter postings. "Coaches can't control how people act while they're in their dorm ... or at parties after games.
"He supplied us with the work ethic and leadership needed to get the job done. (Because) some players didn't want to do what was necessary to win, can't blame him. He will find the players that are willing to do so."

McPherson encountered the enemy, five thousand strong with two batteries under General Gregg, about two miles out of Raymond. This was about two P.M. Logan was in advance with one of his brigades. He deployed and moved up to engage the enemy. McPherson ordered the road in rear to be cleared of wagons, and the balance of Logan's division, and Crocker's, which was still farther in rear, to come forward with all dispatch. The order was obeyed with alacrity. Logan got his division in position for assault before Crocker could get up, and attacked with vigor, carrying the enemy's position easily, sending Gregg flying from the field not to appear against our front again until we met at Jackson.
In this battle McPherson lost 66 killed, 339 wounded, and 37 missing—nearly or quite all from Logan's division. The enemy's loss was 100 killed, 305 wounded, besides 415 taken prisoners.
I regarded Logan and Crocker as being as competent division commanders as could be found in or out of the army and both equal to a much higher command. Crocker, however, was dying of consumption when he volunteered. His weak condition never put him on the sick report when there was a battle in prospect, as long as he could keep on his feet. He died not long after the close of the rebellion.

My partner and I have always been poly, from the get-go. Both of us are rather reserved though, for different reasons, so we hadn't actually had many partners outside our relationship.
We moved from our old social groups and spent several years basically uninterested in other partners, just the two of us, so I often considered us "theoretically poly" and rarely brought the fact that we are poly up in mixed company.
So, it was much to my pleasant surprise when a friend of mine that I met in our current place of residence expressed a romantic interest in me, he is poly, and that I found myself reciprocating.
Of course, he didn't tell me this - it was his partner who did and I thought we needed to have a face-to-face conversation. We met for food and it basically turned into a date. So, I was like "Yay!" and giddy with NRE.
Later, I find out they had been fighting about me. And they continued fighting for a month. To be fair, his partner has had an extremely stressful time and so I've been trying to be very respectful of her feelings - especially since he's done some dumb things (like not communicate completely to her).
I actually hung out with her, and we've gone to dinner together (the four of us). We get along fine.
He and I went on a couple more dates and we usually chat online extensively.
However, he's basically been AWOL for the past two weeks and I feel somewhat... neglected. And I feel bad for feeling this way because our relationship isn't a "relationship" yet. We've kissed, and that's pretty much it. I don't feel like I am entitled to anything, but being basically ignored is kind of hurting. My mono-but-extremely-accepting friend thinks that I AM entitled to something and that there is some commitment to a relationship there - but I'm not so sure. Right now, with him AWOL, it doesn't even feel like we're friends.
So, basically, I'm in a liminal state and it's frustrating, and I would LIKE to be able to have some entitlement to his time but I'm also extremely aware that his partner has had a rough year and she really needs the emotional support right now - and that we haven't even had any sort of real conversation about defining the relationship or my needs.
Some people can do liminal relationships, I'm not one of them.
I know that the solution is to have a conversation, preferably face-to-face, but he hasn't replied to my texts. I feel powerless.
Sorry, I know the lack of communication can really be a bummer. I don't have anything to add but wanted you know that I hope this time will move by quickly and things will come out to a good place for all involved. I always tell myself, I hate wishing for more when I have a relationship that will never yield the attention I am craving. It is also particularly hard when it is new, and it suddenly stops. So I get what you are saying...
For myself, I would set the tone. I would send the guy one more email, saying "You seem to have lost interest and unless I hear from you, I'll assume you have moved on" ... and I'd then move on.
But you can only say that if it is true - otherwise you are just manipulating :P
Beyond The Love - The Polyamory Summit, 3 days of classes, social spaces, and more, this November!
Isn't this development only a couple months along? IMHO, it's too new to be having expectations about "entitlement to his time." That seems very presumptuous on your part - you two are just getting started to feel things out! I wouldn't make any demands. Holidays also add stress to relationships. Two weeks isn't really that long. I would just wait to see if he communicates with you again. He'll likely start off with something like "Sorry I haven't been in touch..." which I would forgive and proceed as usual without asking for an explanation. If he doesn't get in touch again, move on. Sometimes things just fizzle out and we can't do anything about it.
As far as being a "liminal relationship," I'm not sure what you mean, since liminal means "of or relating to a sensory threshold." Do you mean he is keeping too much distance between you? Again, it's at an early stage, and the holidays are a time of stress and obligation for most people, so I would try not to let yourself get too bent out of shape about it.

Liminality is an ambiguous state, the experience of being on the threshold between two psychological or "metaphysical" places. Here, I use it to mean the place between in-a-relationship and not-in-a-relationship. By liminal relationship, I refer to a relationship that is without form, certainty or definition.
It's not that I expect him to go out or something. More that I would like even just a short "Hey, hope you're having good holidays. We're super-busy. Miss you!" sort of text message thing. I have acquaintance-friends who are super busy during the holidays and they still even manage to drop me a short message to say hello and wish me well.
Entitlement to time is perhaps too strongly worded. More, that I would like to be able to even mention that I would like to see him more without feeling like I have no rights and should just wait for him to have time or need for me, like a good little plaything. And saying "Oh, why don't you just do other things" is eminently unhelpful. Just because you're full up on hanging out with other people you like doesn't mean you don't miss someone who isn't there. I went to a fabulous New Year's party, had a great time with friends, but I still miss talking to him.

I personally think that going on a couple dates and having a kiss does not a relationship make.
"You're pretty cool. Do you want to be my boyfriend?" replied by "Really? Or course I do!" a relationship makes.
Assuming is never helpful. Everyone has different criteria for when relationships start, whether it has to be official or implicit, and what boundaries that automatically includes. Add in Poly, and it's very important to communicate and be clear about what you want, where you see things going, and what phase of relationship development you're in.

I just expect a little more communication from someone who even purports to be a *friend*.
It wasn't "a" kiss. But that's neither here nor there, your point is valid - it isn't a relationship until the people involved agree it is.
I know I'm being emotional and irrational and having all these expectations, but it's how I feel - especially right now when I can't even have communication because he's not replying. Like I'm talking into the void of the Internet.

You say you haven't heard from him in two weeks. Was that the last time you sent a message, or have you contacted him several times since then? Can't you call him on the phone instead of send a message? I often go that long or more between communications with someone new. So, to me, it's no big deal, but it doesn't sound good if someone has already given you the sense that you're just a plaything, so soon into this. Could this just be the way you're seeing things, from a perhaps impatient perspective of wanting something to happen?

We don't do phone, which really is common in our social culture/generation. We *have phones*, but they're all smartphones so we're on the Internet all the time anyway and people don't call each other and our social group hates the "traditional" use of the phone.
As a result, we never bothered exchanging phone numbers. Well, technically he has mine, but that was for some group event.

My beast for the street must now go.
Here is a list of items that were upgraded.
I should also note I recently spent about 8k on parts/labor on the clutch, flywheel, new supercharger setup, and tires. Overall I think I have 25k of upgrades into it or so, I have most of the receipts.
The inspection 2 was recently performed as well. valves, oil, filter...
-Active Autowerke stage 3 s/c setup (c38-91 trim, 75mm pulley, injectors, alpha-n, chip, pulleys... water/alcohol injection...) less than 1000 miles on new s/c.
-upgraded cooler for supercharger, 13row instead of 10 row
-larger air k/n filter than factory
-Rogue performance engine mounts
-Headers, mid section, remus muffler (nice flow not too loud)
-Spec stage 2 carbon ceramic clutch (better than hpf feramic which I had before)(less than 1000 miles)
-New factory flywheel (less than 1000 miles)
-New driveshaft guibo
-Rogue performance transmission mounts
-T.C. Kline double adjustable track coilovers (650/550 rates I think, nice performance for the street)
-UUC rear trailing bushings
-rear spherical upper shock mounts
-rear adjustable lower control arms by Turner iirc
-Front camber plates with spherical bearing
-Iforged track edition TE-16 19" all around (perfect fitment for lowered stance)
-Bridgestone Potenza 245/275 19" (good tread life, about 60% left all around)
-UUC motorsport 4 wheel BBK, 355mm front, and 330mm rear, slotted rotors, great brake setup, excellent pad life
-Innovative Motorsports digital boost/vacuum gauge concealed in center ashtray
-Innovative Motorsports digital Air/Fuel ratio meter in center ashtray (can connect to p.c. to log as well)
-Analog vacuum/boost gauge located on center steering column
-Carbon Fiber shift paddles, larger than stock
-Carbon Fiber steering wheel insert
-Rear bumper lower carbon fiber diffuser
-Front bumper lower carbon fiber splitters CSL style
-Tint on side and rear windows
-Professionally Tinted rear L.E.D. tail lights
The BAD:
rearview mirror has a crack in the glass, the A/F ratio meter needs the connector cleaned, and there is a exhaust rattle.
Any questions please ask, and if your local and serious, perhaps youd like to arrange a viewing. Im in the Los Angeles area.
Thanks for looking.

House Speaker John Boehner joked Sunday that people need to stop bugging him about his well-known smoking habit.
"It's a bad habit, but I have it. It's a legal product. I choose to smoke," Boehner said on Fox News Sunday before gigging host Chris Wallace: "Leave me alone."
The subject of Boehner's other habit -- crying in public -- also came up. Wallace showed a clip from the State of the Union last week, in which Boehner got a little misty-eyed when President Obama referred to the Ohio Republican's working-class roots.
Boehner is taking it all in stride. Last night, he said, the exclusive Alfalfa Club poked fun at his crying jags by presenting him with a box of tissues.
On a more serious note, the House speaker said he wears his emotions on his sleeve because there are issues he cares about.
"I am who I am," Boehner said, labeling himself "one of the most transparent people" in Washington.
"I'm not going to apologize for being emotionally attached ... to the things I feel strongest about."

Ethical social media dilemmas: What would you do?
If there's one topic we don't talk enough about online it's social media and ethics. Actually, it really doesn't surprise me. We don't talk about PR and ethics as much as we should either. And, as we all know, social media is really just an extension of PR (and marketing, among other disciplines).
Nevertheless, ethical situations come up and impact our working lives virtually every week. I wanted to highlight a few that I've bumped into lately below–and the way in which I've handled these situations (for right or wrong). I'd love to hear your thoughts on how you have, or would, react to these scenarios:
Situation: Local agency or organization asks you to share your blogger lists, but doesn't make any indication of paying you for the lists.
Ethical dilemma: Maybe not a true ethical dilemma, but it certainly comes close. Do you share lists? What if the person asking is a friend (which was the case in both situations I've run into lately)? Does that change the situation? I think this is a legitimate question across the industry right now because I've heard from others it's coming up.
How I handled: Two situations recently. In one scenario, it was a former client and we worked out an arrangement where I provided them my list in exchange for payment–completely above board and no issues. The other, however, was a bit different. A representative from a local agency asked me if I'd be open to sharing a blogger list I'd built. I responded politely that if we're talking about sharing a list that my company has spent time and money researching, we should probably talk about a working relationship–not "free" access to my list.
Situation: Your client saw huge success as a result of a blogger outreach program you put together for them. The campaign was so successful, you'd like to write a blog post promoting the win.
Ethical dilemma: Might not seem like an ethical dilemma, but in many cases I believe it is. By writing a post about your client, you're adding content to the Web's searchable database for customers–and, this post could be significantly more "influential", depending on the agency/consultant.
How I handled: Last month, I wrote a post about the success my client, Feed My Starving Children, has experienced as a result of using Facebook Groups as an internal communication vehicle. I considered the fact that by writing a post about FMSC, it would probably pop up fairly high in search (it pops up as the ninth item on page one in a Google search for "Feed My Starving Children"). And, the implications of a post written by a consultant FMSC works with showing up that high (could be construed as astro-turfing a bit). I decided to go ahead with the post, but I still struggle with this decision. For agencies, I don't think there's an issue here. But, for some reason, when I think about myself, it feels a bit different (even though I'm essentially an agency of one). Very curious to know what you think about this one.
Situation: You tweet regularly about one of your clients on your personal account. However, you don't include the standard disclosure signifying you're a consultant to the firm in every tweet.
The ethical dilemma: Should you include a disclosure in every tweet, update and post? According to Richie Escovedo and Gini Dietrich, the answer is a resounding yes, according to this post from a year-and-a-half ago.
How I handled: I don't have any clients that I regularly refer to in tweets/updates. But, let's say I was working with Caribou. I go to Caribou an awful lot. If I were to share tweets about my day-to-day routine at Target (or check-ins on Foursquare for that matter), I would definitely include a standard disclosure in every tweet. Why? Because they're a client. And, regardless of how many times I tweet, there's a paid relationship there that may or may not "cloud" my thinking–and people have a right to know that. Bottom line: I think you should include client disclaimers on every tweet, update or post (and PRSA and its Code of Ethics agrees).
What thoughts do you have on the ethical dilemmas above?

Hi Arik,
Thanks for raising these important ethical issues. I'd love to see more of these conversations taking place!
The last situation you mentioned strikes me as one of the most interesting. I tend to agree that there should be full disclosure when mentioning a client publicly, but I also wonder about the context. A while back, my friend shared on Twitter an article about a fantastic and award-winning social media campaign that a company did. The company happens to be a client of hers, which she disclosed in the tweet. When I asked how her colleagues enjoyed working on the project, she said that her agency doesn't do social media for that client but she still felt compelled to disclose her association.
In this case, the disclosure remark was almost misleading. So, given the limited amount of characters one has to disclose and clarify, was it necessary for my friend to mention that the company is a client even though her agency was not associated with the specific topic covered in the article?
AubreyLWardIII says:
First of all, let me just say that it's great to see fellow professionals talking about ethics. I think that the term is quite often a missing link in today's business world, unfortunately.
At any rate, I'd like to focus on situation number two. The most relevant comment that comes to my mind is to point out the option of keeping the client anonymous. This route eliminates the possibility of the post being misinterpreted as "astro-turfing", yet still provides the oppurtunity to promote the win. Alternatively, why not have a discussion with the client regarding the situation, and ask them how they feel about being used as an example. Most likely, they will be happy to help, considering the fact that superb services have been rendered. Keep in mind that we, as business owners or employees, have no control over what every person may think about our motives. If the client recognizes this and would rather not be mentioned, then we can respect that decision, for two reasons: 1) The client has paid us for our services; and 2) The success of whatever work we may have done with the client is great – we can pat ourselves on the back – BUT, ultimately we must put the client first. We delivered what we offered, and there is no need to compromise that by bragging (not that I think Arik was bragging, for the record).
I certainly hope that these thoughts help. I'm very glad that I saw this link on Twitter (tweeted by @SocialFresh), and that I had the time to contribute to this discussion. Thanks a lot!

@AubreyLWardIII I actually did talk this one through with the client–I usually err on the side of taking too much caution. Great points though–and there's definitely a benefit to keeping the client anonymous. And, putting the client first is what we ALL should be doing. After all, they are the CLIENT. They are paying for services–and we need to honor their wishes, whatever those may be in situations like this.
arikhanson says:
@megmroberts I always err on the side of over-disclosing. In this case, I would have definitely disclosed–what's the harm? It was misleading a bit, sure. But, you're never going to get in trouble for disclosing *too* much 😉 When in doubt, disclose. Rule to live by, in my view.
ScottHepburn says:
As usual, here I am showing up late to the party…
I'm with you on two, and agin' ya (I think) on the other.
* On sharing lists, I believe absolutely that a list you've created is YOUR property. The hard work you put into researching, building, and curating lists is valuable. Even if you don't maintain active relationships with the bloggers on those lists, the simple act of identifying them and assessing their influence is worth a small ransom. Protect what you've built.
* I'm okay with blogging about a client, provided you clearly disclose that relationship. Could your post pop to the top of search results? Absolutely. Does that benefit the client? Of course. Your now a blogger/influencer, not just a service provider. And I believe that'll be true of all of us in the near future. Your influence may be more valuable than your consulting advice. That oughtta be reflected in the relationship between you.
I think of it like this: Is sports agent Drew Rosenhaus an effective negotiator? Yes. Can he give good strategic advice? Yes. But he's also valuable to his clients in his ability to generate a media spectacle. His ability to attract cameras ultimately helps (usually) his clients.
It's a brave new world.
* Yes, disclose your clients. In blogs, of course. On Facebook and Twitter as much as possible. Tools like cmp.ly help. And I believe we'll soon find ways to disclose on Foursquare and other new platforms. It's not always practical, but we have to do our best to find ways to be forthcoming with all audiences.
I argued with local copywriter Jim Mitchem about this. I explained that we don't disclose for the sake of those who know us intimately thanks to long-time relationships and many years of Twitter following…we do it for those less familiar with our businesses and those who butter our bread.

Kitchen Fire Damages Mountain View Home
Hawaii County firefighters were called to a fire in a home in Mountain View Thursday night. The fire broke out at 7:13 p.m. on Kona Street and when firefighters arrived, the home was fully engulfed in flames. A man was home at the time. He told firefighters he was frying food, when the oil caught fire and spread to the structure. The fire was controlled by 7:45 p.m. No one was injured and the damage estimate was $128,000. The Red Cross is assisting those displaced by the fire.


text: Trying to figure out a table/calculations for this problem (not the exact numbers but just need to know how to do it. Initial loan of $10,000. Interest rate of 7%. Loan term is 6 months. Payment made every month is $200. Any help with setting up a chart/ table in excel that will shoe the amount of interest paid each month, amount paid towards the principal balance and the balance left each month? Cant figure this out for the life of me and everything I look for online just shoes how much you have to pay to get to a $0 balance which is not what I am trying to get. I want to know how much the balance is at the end of each month and how much of the $200 went to the interest and how much to the principal. Thanks!!!

On Fatherhood
I had to work Father's day this year. I awoke at 4:45 so I could begin my first case at 6:00AM. In between cases I called my oldest daughter in Baton Rouge. She received her Juris Doctorate from LSU this year. "Hi Dad!" she exclaimed when she heard my voice. We exchanged pleasantries. I knew my wife and my youngest would be meeting her in New Orleans later in the day.
My son now teaches math at the University of Arkansas. I remember when he told me that he regrettably did not want to be a surgeon after all. He said he did not think he could handle the responsibility, and he changed the course of his life. I was stymied, but I realized his life is his to live. He has done well, he is a good man, and I am proud of him. My youngest, Little Darling, will be the healer among our children instead
I could not reach my son by telephone, but an email from him was waiting for me when I arrived back home. "Happy Father's Day!" it began. I was exhausted from a day of cases at two different hospitals. It was six-o'clock again, the other six-o'clock. I retrieved a cola and some cold potato salad from the fridge for supper, and began studying rafts of scent to better understand Ilsa's training. Beautiful Wife and Little Darling would not arrive home for another two hours, assuming they were not late. (Ha!)
Today, I began my day again at 4:45AM. I scrubbed in a bit later, at 6:30AM. I worked cases with family present in the waiting room, and cases with no family to be found. As I worked, I conversed over patients with the other men of heavy responsibilities and sometimes regrettable burdens with whom I work. We talked about Tiger Woods, LSU football, shooting, and of course Father's Day. I was not alone in spending Father's Day disconnected from my children.
In the conversational lulls that men inevitably have, I thought of my own father. He died when I was two years old, and I only have one precious genuine memory of him. My mother never re-married, and I grew to be a man without a father's guidance when needed. Yet he was there. The power of a loving father was kept alive in my heart by my mother's stories about him. I knew who he was, what he stood for, and that I had a legacy to uphold. He was an ethereal force within my life, even in death. Without his presence, I would not be who I am today. Not that I am boastful of who I am, but I know I would be a lesser man. He is buried too far away to visit his grave, but I wished him a silent Father's Day, and thanked him for being my hero.
That is what a father is. Anything less is simply a man with offspring. A father is his child's first hero. It is perhaps the heaviest responsibility any man will bear. Whether he accepts that role or not speaks volumes for his character. A man who is unwilling to be a hero for a child is an overgrown child himself. It does not take much to be a child's hero. Super powers or paternal instinct are not necessary. It doesn't even require a child of one's own genetic structure. It only takes the willingness to be there for a child when needed, and the wisdom to provide proper guidance when required. When the inevitable parental fall from grace occurs in the teen years the resoluteness to remain steady on course is crucial. During those years a child is like a swimmer exploring a vast ocean, and the parent is their boat. If their boat leaves, the child will drown unless another boat appears.
Heroes have been available for boys with absent fathers through most of history. In modern times, young men without fathers have access to a greater range of media information, but fewer men who measure up to hero status. Alan Shepherd was my hero as a boy. There was precious little information about this man who I never met available to me, yet I strove to be like him. Perhaps that was a good thing. In today's world, Shepherd's exalted status would likely have been disposed of before he splashed down in the ocean. We all have pasts, and media heroes are quickly laid bare to the vultures who pick at their bones.
Little did I know that my most influential and steadfast hero was within myself in the form of my own father. A child can run away from a father, but they can not escape his influence. A man will influence and teach his children by his character, integrity and deeds. Children are not swayed by words, and they quickly decipher the carefully crafted illusion of bullshit parading around as valor. They will be taught virtue, or they will be taught deceit. They will, however, be taught. It is inevitable.
I firmly believe that when we are dying, that even if we are not judged by a higher power, we will judge ourselves. The harshest failure that a man can bear is the realization that he failed to be his child's hero. It is often said that upbringing (or the lack thereof) leaves an indelible mark on a person's life, and children become who their parents were. That may or may not be true. What is true though, is we become who our children are. They are what we leave behind in this world. They will speak for us and remember us as we slowly return to dust. How we are spoken of and remembered is up to us alone. It is out of our control, except by our actions. We can chose to rot away forgotten, or we can chose to be a hero. The result is the ultimate dividend on how we invested our life.

(288.44 kB) The author's simple initial design contract spells out the terms of his company's preliminary design services, which he sells for a fixed price of around $1,500. Sales — convincing homeowners to pay our company a lot of money to remodel their house — is one of the trickiest parts of our business. My partner, Eric Youngren, and I run a design-build firm, which complicates the issue further: Not only do we like to build, but we also like to design and budget projects. We need clients to buy into both our design services and our building services.We've found that a formal initial design presentation helps us sell our company to potential clients and get them to commit to a longer-term (and hopefully profitable) relationship.

Zack Snyder Talks 300 Prequel
Plus, 300 to be re-released in 3D?
Zack Snyder's Guardians of Ga'Hoole (or whatever it's called this week) is on the way, and he's hard at work on Sucker Punch, his first project not adapted from something else. But Snyder is already looking ahead. Except, he's also looking back, to the oily pecs and rhinos and hermaphrodites of 300.
Talking to Coming Soon's Superhero Hype, he confirmed that Frank Miller's Xerxes is almost certainly headed screenwards, as well as to the bookshops and comic emporiums. "I'm waiting on Frank to show me something in the next couple of months, and there's a really good chance that will be the next thing we do," says Snyder. "I'm not telling him what to write. I'll take it and I'll adapt it and make it into a movie and I'll write a screenplay, but I want him to do whatever he thinks."
It isn't an absolutely certain hundred percent done deal, but, says Snyder, "I'm pretty confident it's going to be awesome".
If you can't wait though, console yourself with the thought that 300 itself might be returning in 3D, as Warners clamour to 3Dify everything on their books (next up, Casablanca!). It seems Snyder's recent decision to go 3D with Sucker Punch was prompted by Warners waving a ten minute showreel of 3D *300 at him. Sold! And "we're talking about doing the whole movie."
Whether it materialises will presumably depend on big summer 3D releases like Clash of the Titans keeping up the box-office momentum of Avatar and Alice. Will the novelty wear off? And are there many films you'd turn out for again if they gained a dimension?
*Joke. We hope.

At the beginning of August I was approached by MISS magazine and asked if I wanted to be part of their September issue for a series of fall trends, styled by bloggers. The two trends that I was asked to style were "hearts" and "candy colored coats", combined in one outfit. Now, those that know me know that this wasn't really too hard of a task for me – I love a girly touch for my outfits and am not shy when it comes to wearing pink….
OUTFIT: hearts & candy colors
IN PRINT: style zoom – WOMAN, July 2013
Even though I post pictures of myself here on the blog all the time – it is always weird to find myself featured in a print magazine. Last Friday I picked up the July edition of the Austrian WOMAN magazine, where they dedicated this month's "Style Zoom" to me. For those of you that haven't seen it yet, here are a few pictures of my Saturday morning flipping through the magazine while enjoying my daily smoothie….
Last Thursday the new MISS came out, and guess who's face was in it? :)
in print.
Even though I publish photos of myself on a regular basis, it was more than strange to find myself in the most recent issue of Falter's "Best of Vienna" today in the morning. The magazine comes out bi-annually and features the best of Vienna (big surprise with that title …). There are always 5 creative personalities in every issue and needless to say, I was more than honored to be amongst these 5 people….
