Zac Brown Band scores fans with sizzling live show
Published: Friday, June 11, 2010 at 11:54 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 11, 2010 at 11:54 a.m.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Reba McEntire had never seen anything like it in a career that's spanned nearly three decades.
When country music's entire cast of luminaries leapt to their feet in the middle of the Zac Brown Band's cover of "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" during last year's Country Music Association Awards, it was a defining moment for a band that has earned its fame one fan at a time out on the road.
"I was so thrilled with that performance," McEntire said. "I thought it was very gutsy of them, too, not to do their single, but to do a live performance. It was a showstopper. They do go against the grain a lot. They're kind of renegade in a way, but they back it up."
The Zac Brown Band is riding some serious momentum right now with an in-demand live show, three No. 1 singles, a recent Grammy win and two albums in Billboard's country top 10. Their most-recent album, "The Foundation," continues its slow burn at No. 3 with 2 million copies sold and the new two CD, one DVD live set, "Pass The Jar: Live" is No. 9 on the charts.
The six-piece will enjoy the highest visibility it has seen this summer, starting with two prime festival performances this weekend. The band gets 30 minutes Saturday on the CMA Music Festival's biggest stage and a prime spot Sunday at Bonnaroo, playing right before The Dave Matthews Band.
They will play for more than 70,000 fans down on the farm in Manchester.
"The amount of people and everything there's going be unreal," Coy Bowles said. "It's going to be one of the biggest shows we've ever done."
"We're going to try to whip it with a belt," Brown said.
Zac and the boys better get used to the big crowds. They'll join Matthews on his stadium tour later this summer. By September hundreds of thousands of listeners will have heard the Zac Brown Band for the first time, and if past practice is any indication, they'll come away with even more fans.
Rory Feek of the duo Joey + Rory says that's because "they don't look, sound or work like any other band out there."
"Zac Brown Band is taking their own path and they have a unique way of breaking out of the normal boundaries — mostly I think, because they don't know that there are any," Feek wrote in an e-mail.
That's the way the band approaches its live show. They don't really care what everyone else is doing and in a way, they look at it as a competition.
"I want to give more to the fans than what everybody else does," Brown said. "I want to give them good food. We want to give them a four-hour show. We want to super serve the fans. We want to be known for that."
Brown said the show's content continues to get stronger. Besides popular songs from their breakthrough album, they're debuting songs off a new album that should come out this fall.
Then there's their nod to Charlie Daniels. More than 17 million viewers got to see them bring down the house during the CMA Awards last November with the scorching "Devil" cover.
Fiddler Jimmy De Martini says the reaction was a tribute to Daniels, but the band's crossover version is white-hot and provoked a visceral reaction from country stars like Kris Kristofferson, Reba and scores of others.
"It was surreal-looking out there and seeing Kristofferson and seeing a lot of our heroes out there standing up and clapping," Brown said. "I saw Keith Urban getting down and laughing. It was crazy. If you come see our show, that's what we do."
Brown says "Pass The Jar," a live concert recording that included guests Kid Rock, Shawn Mullins, Joey + Rory and Little Big Town at the Fox Theatre in the band's hometown of Atlanta, is a reasonable facsimile of the live show.
But there's nothing like being there in front of the stage shoulder to shoulder with thousands of fans. Bowles says the band — which also includes John Driskell Hopkins, Clay Cook and Chris Fryar — watches video of performances to tweak the show and the technology that enhances it.
The group takes a blue-collar approach, Brown said, and feeds off the energy of the crowd. They always know in minutes if the show's going to go to another level.
"You feed off the crowd," he said. "Whatever they give you, as much as they'll give you, it comes back to us and it makes this big turbine of energy in the room. We'll know stepping out how much they want to give us. It gives us that extra. Literally when we get done playing we're exhausted. We're covered in sweat and we're soaked and we feel like we've given them their money's worth."

Bubble blabber heats up
Arkansas coach Mike Anderson talks with player Mardracus Wade during the second half of the game between Arkansas and LSU on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2014 in Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville.
FAYETTEVILLE - There was a prevailing attitude among Arkansas basketball followers that a victory over Alabama last Saturday was all the Hogs needed to be a "lock" for an NCAA Tournament bid.
Saturday's 83-58 loss to Alabama changed all that.
Arkansas, which had a six-game winning streak end Saturday, and Coach Mike Anderson will enter the SEC Tournament on Thursday against the winner of Auburn-South Carolina back in must-win mode.
The Razorbacks (21-10) enter the week at No. 62 in the NCAA's Ratings Percentage Index, behind Tennessee (44) and Missouri (52) and ahead of Georgia (73) as SEC at-large aspirants. Arkansas powered its way, wining 8 of 9 before the Alabama loss, to the brink of locking up its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2008, but can the Hogs close the deal?
"It's a sense of urgency, like it's right here within arm's reach and we've just got to grab it," senior Mardracus Wade said Monday.
"We know if we just handle our business and come out and play every game like it's our last with the energy that we have done throughout this year then at the end of the day we'll be where we need to be," senior Fred Gulley III said. "It would definitely be good to go out with the NCAA Tournament. There's no place like the tournament."
Arkansas came out of Saturday's loss smarting, but still a contender for an NCAA slot, according to the national media who keep tabs on the comings and goings of NCAA hopefuls.
USA Today included Arkansas and Tennessee among its last five teams in the NCAA field and has Arkansas as a No. 12 seed in an opening-round game against No. 12 seed Pittsburgh.
ESPN.com's Joe Lunardi has the Hogs (and Tennessee) in his "last four in" as a No. 12 seed facing No. 12 Dayton on its home court in an opening round game. CBSsports.com's Jerry Palm projected Arkansas in the field as a No. 11 seed, also in an opening-round game against No. 11 Xavier. Palm picked Arkansas and Tennessee among his last four in.
Missouri is in the first four out for Palm and the next four out for Lunardi.
Anderson said he shouldered some of the blame for the Razorbacks' poor showing at Alabama but also noted that the Hogs have been on the receiving end of positive press during their recent six-game winning streak.
"These guys have had some success and people talk and write about them and sometimes you start believing it," Anderson said. "We have to make sure we do our damage on the floor and we do it on the defensive side of the ball."
Anderson would not speculate about how many games the Razorbacks needed to win in Atlanta to nail down a bid.
"Nah … we want to win the tournament," he said. "That's the mind-set. And the first game is the most important game. That's always been my mind-set."
Anderson said his team's roster depth and up-and-down style of play should work to its advantage over a four-day stretch.
"If we're going to win it, we've got to win four games," Anderson said. "I plan on taking four suits, to answer some of you guys' question."
Arkansas has won eight of its past 10 games, a key consideration by the selection committee. Tennessee (20-11) has won six of its last 10 and four in a row, including a 72-45 rout of Missouri on Saturday.
" I think on both ends of the floor now we're playing well and we're playing as a team," Tennessee Coach Cuonzo Martin said on Monday's SEC teleconference. "When shots fall, you have a tendency to look like a different team, especially when you're defending the way we're defending now."
Asked if he liked where the Volunteers are positioned now, Martin said, "One game at a time is the most important thing. My biggest concern is who we play on Friday."
Missouri (21-10), despite sweeping Arkansas, has fallen into a dangerous position by losing six of its last 11 games. The Tigers are the No. 8 seed and they play No. 9 Texas A&M on Thursday for the right to face No. 1-ranked Florida on Friday.
"We've got to pull ourselves back up after a tough loss on the road at Tennessee," Coach Frank Haith said.
Georgia (18-12) tied Kentucky for second place in the SEC's final standings at 12-6, but the Bulldogs are not being given strong consideration for an at-large NCAA berth based on their 6-6 non-conference record.
"To have a legitimate at large chance, I think we'd have to advance in the tournament," Georgia Coach Mark Fox said. "But if you advance, you might as well win it."

Fawlty Towers: The Complete Collection Remastered
Frequently Bought Together
Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought
Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Coming to Special Edition DVD for the first time, it's the complete Fawlty Towers collection with all-new commentary from John Cleese! Hot off the runaway success of Monty Python's Flying Circus, John Cleese embarked on his now-legendary sitcom, Fawlty Towers, creating one of the most memorable and best loved characters in all of British comedy, Basil Fawlty. Basil Fawlty is a much put-upon, hard-working hotel manager whose life is plagued by dead guests, hotel inspectors, and riff-raff. Of course his biggest headache is his "little nest of vipers," his nagging wife Sibyl. Together they run their hotel, Fawlty Towers, with a little help from the unflappable Polly and the trainee waiter from Barcelona with marginally more intelligence than a monkey, Manuel.]]>
Also on the discs
While enjoying your Fawlty Towers holiday, be sure to extend your stay by visiting the deluxe extra features. New to this set are entertaining commentaries by John Cleese, who provides illuminating insights into how these "lovely little farces" were constructed. He expresses genuine affection for the cast and guest stars, is quick to praise exquisite bits of comic business ("This is funnier than I remember"), and is not shy about criticizing his own performance ("I don't think I acted this right"). Also new to this set are newly filmed interviews with Cleese, Prunella Scales, Andrew Sachs, and Connie Booth, who offers some great anecdotes about collaborating with her then-husband Cleese and how some memorable gags were created. Donald Sinclair, the real-life rude hotelier who inspired the character of Basil Fawlty, is given his due, but be forewarned you will hear several versions of the Eric Idle ticking suitcase story. Also appearing are notable guest stars, including Bernard Cribbins ("The Hotel Inspectors"), Geoffrey Palmer ("The Kipper and the Corpse"), and David Kelly ("The Builders"), who talk of their experiences on one of television's towering sitcoms. There is also an odd "Cheap Tatty Review." Holdover features from the previously released boxed set include episode commentaries by directors John Howard Davies and Bob Spiers; archival interviews with Cleese, Scales, and Sachs; a short film about Torquay; disappointingly paltry outtakes; and a helpful Who's Who guide to the series' cast and guest stars. --Donald Liebenson

Fawlty Towers was a series of 12 episodes made in the 1970's about a hotel in the little town of Torquay, England (pronounced Torkee). The episodes all revolve around the mishaps and misunderstandings and flat out irrational behavior of the hotel owner Basil Fawlty played by John Cleese of Monty Python fame. Cleese does a wonderful job melding physical comedy, sarcasm, and British wit, but of course he doesn't do this alone.
Prunella Scales (former RSC actress) plays Basil's wife Sybil Fawlty while Cleese's wife in real life Connie Booth plays Polly, the hotel maid/receptionist/waitress. Andrew Sachs plays Manuel, the Spanish waiter who does a fabulous job playing opposite Basil Fawlty and aggravating him to the point of frustration. Note that every character at one point in the series explains Manuel's funny behavior with the excuse "He's from Barcelona."
There are a few other regular characters such as the Major who is an old, rather senile war veteran and the two ladies who are also old and rather senile.
As I said earlier, there are 12 episodes. Each one is very original and I never get tired of watching them. The following is a short summary of each of the episodes.
A Touch of Class - Basil places an ad for the hotel to attract upscale clientele. A Lord Melbury makes reservations at the hotel, but he isn't who everyone thinks he is.
The Builders - Basil hires O'Reilly, a cheap Irish builder, to rennovate the hotel, but when he and his wife leave for an outing and Polly leaves Manuel in charge, everything goes wrong.Read more ›
Here is exactly all the wonderful little bits of fun that await you on the Fawlty Towers complete collection on 3 DVDs:
These are features every disc shares: Main menu options - Play all episodes, Episode selection, Scene selection, Subtitles (English, German, French). Special features: Director's Commentary, Helpful Staff (Bios of main cast), Guest Registry (Bios of other cast members), Trailers - French & Saunders, Father Ted, The League of Gentlemen, Wallace & Gromit, and BBC America.
Disc One - 4 Episodes: A Touch of Class, The Builders, The Wedding Party, and Hotel Inspectors. Special Features: Interview with John Cleese (1), A visit to Torquay (Home of Fawlty Towers), Footage of the Fawlty Towers hotel, Customer Service tips (Clips)
Disc Two - 4 Episodes: Gourmet Night, The Germans, Communication Problems, and The Psychiatrist. Special Features: Interview with Cleese (2), Interview with Andrew Sachs (Manuel), How to manage your staff (clips)
Disc Three - 4 Episodes: Waldorf Salad, The Kipper and the Corpse, The Anniversary, and Basil the Rat. Interview with Cleese (3), Interview with Prunella Scales (Sybil), Out-takes, Tips for a successful marriage (clips)
Things I learned from Fawlty Towers:
1. One nail isn't strong enough to hang a giant moose head on your wall.
2. When your car doesent work, sometimes it helps to attack it with a tree branch.
3. If you take a guest breakfast in bed and speak to him and he does not move or speak back to you - he may be dead.
4. A burglar alarm and a fire alarm sound quite a lot alike.
Each episode deals with Basil's various problems at the hotel, problems which he never fails to make much worse by saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, leaving Manuel in charge or generally being himself. The laughs ramp up to fever pitch very rapidly and each episode ends with rapturous cheers from the studio audience. There were only ever 12 episodes recorded of this classic series, but each one has incredible quality. As Cleese explains in part of his interview, attempting to equal the highlights of each series just got too much for the writers and performers.
Here is a quick summary of the premise of each episode and what to watch for:
"A Touch of Class" - this was the first episode ever recorded and deals with Basil's attempt at attracting "a better sort of clientele" to the hotel. Watch for Basil's changing attitudes toward Lord Melbury and the man in the biker jacket, while the standout scene is Basil's seating of Lord Melbury "in his usual seat" in the dining room. Best line: "A lemon squash, a gin and orange and a scotch and water please.Read more ›

HONOLULU -- Quick question: Which wunderkind phenom, with the cautious optimism and starry-eyed gaze of the world watching every move, began a PGA Tour career by failing to make the cut in seven straight tournaments?
If you guessed Michelle Wie, good job. You're correct. If you guessed Tiger Woods, good job. You're also correct.
Now, hold on. Before anyone accuses us of committing golf blasphemy by comparing a 17-year-old girl to one of the greatest players of all-time, that's not the point. Neither Wie nor any other top young golfer can, or should, be compared with the omnipotent Woods. That said, we can learn from the past, use his story to help understand what the present means and what the future may bring for Wie.
The differences between the career beginnings of Woods and Wie are profound. Woods was a three-time U.S. Amateur champion and top player on the junior circuit. Wie's lone national amateur victory came at the 2003 U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links, when she was 13. Woods was still an amateur when he missed the cut in his seventh PGA Tour event, the 1994 Western Open. Wie is very much a professional, already a millionaire 20 times over. Three years later, Woods captured a green jacket at The Masters, his first of 12 major championships (and counting). Wie will decidedly not win The Masters in three years, or ever, for that matter. She will never win a men's major -- never, in all likelihood, win a PGA Tour event.
This became evident once again this week, as Wie shot 78-76 to finish 140th in the 142-player field and miss the cut at her hometown Sony Open for the fourth straight year.
The result was another sad chapter in Wie's life story. It is, however, hardly the final chapter, perhaps still serving as the prologue to what her career may bring.
Wie's parents, B.J. and Bo, have been questioned for pushing her into this grand arena too soon. They first thrust their daughter into an international spotlight at age 14, when she initially played in this tournament, missing the cut by a mere stroke. Her journey has since regressed, as evidenced by the bottom-line summation of a scorecard, now resembling a sideshow for the main act.
"People have opinions," Wie said on Friday. "Let them have opinions. But that's not going to change what I want to do, because they don't know what I want and, you know, they don't know what I feel."
Is the criticism valid? Absolutely. But so, too, was the criticism for Earl Woods, when he claimed in 1996 that his son "will do more than any other man in history to change the course of humanity."
Earl is now revered as one of sport's legendary fathers, the benchmark for which parenting a phenom will always be compared. Back then, though, he was often ridiculed, dismissed as an obsessive father too intent on peddling the wares of his prodigy. And though Tiger may not have cured poverty in Third World nations or induced world peace, he has significantly changed the lives of many youths with his Tiger Woods Learning Center, while his eponymous foundation contributes to many charitable causes.
Of course, money can be the root of all evil, too. Nike, Sony and Omega are among the companies that have helped contribute to Wie's aforementioned windfall, giving her the sixth-highest income of any golfer during the past year, according to Golf Digest. Certainly, this passage into the arena of men's tournaments has as much to do with Wie's willingness to test her game against top competition as it does the almighty dollar. With each foray into such events, these companies get some bang for their buck and a pretty nice return on their investment.
She has become famous, a household name even in houses without golf on the TV screen, not so much for what she's done but simply for who she is. It's the same process by which other celebrities have invaded our consciousness. Think Paris Hilton in softspikes.
All of which provides significant background but fails to assuage our doubts about whether Wie will become everything she aspires to be, if not everything we aspire for her.
And that's OK. Thirteen years ago, when a kid named Tiger was missing the cut for a seventh consecutive time, we didn't know what the future would hold for him, either. Sometimes a little doubt isn't such a bad thing.
Wie may well be on her way to a brilliant, accomplished career. Or her hopes and dreams may fizzle and then gradually fade away. The only thing we know for sure is that right now, at age 17 and with seven missed PGA Tour cuts to her name, we still don't know a thing.

Obama Unveils Plan to Close Guantánamo
President Obama promised to close the Guantánamo Bay detention facility at the beginning of his presidency. Seven years later — nearly to the day — he released a plan to do it.
"For many years it's been clear that the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay does not advance our national security," Obama said.
"It undermines it."

The other day, I was scrolling through my shiny, new Feedly (which I love and am so happy Google Reader forced me to try) and I saw website content that caught my eye.
On Marcus Sheridan's website there is an image of a gorgeous pool and the headline says, "Considering an Inground Pool? Get Started with Pool 101."
Right below that is a thumbnail of a video with copy that reads, "Watch the video and learn how to make your backyard dreams a reality."
The redesign of the Arment Dietrich site is on my task list and this struck me as very, very interesting.
Why not give new visitors 101, 201, and 301 content?
From our perspective, it could be start-ups and small businesses, mid-sized organizations, and Fortune 500.
Then, yesterday, I received a nice note from a friend. In it she said it's time for them to grow their business and she wanted to know our process for working with new clients.
Huh. We don't have content for that, either.
Then I read Laura Click's, "Your Corporate Website: Four Deadly Mistakes" and I took the Arment Dietrich site on the task list from "nice to get it done in Q2" to "we're starting this now and it will be finished by May."
It's time for the shoemaker's children to get new shoes!
Business Owner's Disease
The reason I've been dragging my feet on getting this done is because I have business owner's disease. You know the one where you think your business is different and what works for our clients won't work for us? After all, we're a professional services firm and most of our clients sell widgets.
Why would someone fill out a form on a landing page to get an ebook or white paper or attend a webinar for a professional services firm? What would we use to market to them to help them through the funnel so they eventually buy?
These are questions I ask myself constantly, which is why we spend all of our time on Spin Sucks and not on the Arment Dietrich site.
I'm calling baloney on myself…and the image of Marcus's site got me there.
Sure, I could tell myself he sells swimming pools. His customer is a consumer. And those things could continue to dissuade me. But I prefer to look at it, instead, as we make our clients see things: Content marketing works.
Website Content
I've created the beginning of a list of things we can include on the site:
- Content for start-ups and small businesses, particularly for those doing software as a service
- Content for mid-sized organizations, particularly for those in manufacturing
- Content for Fortune 500, particularly for those who want to emulate some of the best-known companies of our time
- Our process for working with new clients
- Pricing
- Calls-to-action
- Personality (while the home page has a video that changes weekly, the rest of the site is devoid of personality)
- Tops of the funnel content: Blog (woo hoo! Already has this one down!), company news, how-tos, podcasts, and videos
- Middle of the funnel content: eBooks, longer podcasts and videos, white papers
- Bottom of the funnel content: Frequently asked questions, live Q&As, case studies, and testimonials
One of the things I really want to do is write an eBook called, "Communications According to Arment Dietrich" and send that to prospects before I meet with them either in person or on the phone.
While we do a pretty good job of qualifying before my time is spent with someone, I think this would help even more.
What am I missing? What else does an organization need on their website?

Love love LOVE this post! Number 8 made me laugh out loud. 🙂 Rolling up my sleeves and feeling motivated! 😀
@belllindsay The blog part?! At least we're not total dolts.
@ginidietrich We are NOT dolts. Well, ok, *I* am, but…..
@belllindsay Where is that send button?
@ginidietrich @belllindsay Yeah, and I have a beef with your FB button…
@KenMueller @ginidietrich Me too Ken. Me too. 😉
@belllindsay @ginidietrich Good. Make it work! And while you're at it, add that Send to Kindle button. This has become my preferred way of reading blogs very quickly via the Kindle app on my android.
@KenMueller @belllindsay @ginidietrich "Send to Kindle" is interesting, but I'm not certain that it's going to be the gateway to buying eBooks that you posited in your post yesterday.
I think we'll soon see Amazon offering free Kindle devices — hook 'em with the hardware.
@jasonkonopinski @belllindsay @ginidietrich I think it could be If you get people used to using your app and devices, they are more likely to use them down the line. It's standard technology theory, and how radio and television both started. The initial content/program developers were the manufacturers of the devices. And Amazon has said that free hardware is definitely not in the works, but they will be offering less expensive options. Which is why they have the free apps for desktop, Android, Apple, and other OS's.
@KenMueller Sure – but the technology (and people's familiarity and comfort) with the eBook is pretty well established at this point. The Kindle (various forms) sits top of the pile in sales numbers for the past several years.
I absolutely agree with the underlying theory. Where I disagree is where we are in the adoption cycle. eBook readers have seen huge spikes in popularity over the past five years.
@KenMueller Good discussion, BTW!
@jasonkonopinski Well,then we're in agreement, because that was the point of my post. That eBooks are incredibly popular, but that there is still a very large portion of the public that won't use them, in many cases because they are die hard physical book lovers. This, then, becomes a gateway drug to introduce them to the concept in small doses.
As I work on my redesign and content reboot, this helps. a lot. Thanks. You're the best.
@KenMueller I'm such a big help to you! First the drain problem and now this.
@ginidietrich yeah, about that drain problem. the plumber is arriving for day two here in just a few minutes…
also, about pricing. you're gonna put that on your site ? I don't wanna do that.
@KenMueller @ginidietrich I think for certain services you can do this. I spoke with a principal at IdeaVibe who help startups with business plans and help them get funding. They had 4 levels of business plans flat rate. The helping to get funding was not price listed. Depends on how narrow or uniform the work would be across different companies. And you can always state the pricing is an estimate.
Ken how many clients request hot coffee only vs hot and iced from you?
@HowieG @ginidietrich Yeah, for me, every client gets something completely custom made for them. No template.
Hot coffee, Iced Tea. Never the opposite, thank you.
@lauraclick I go back and forth on the team bios and photos. Five years ago we had them on there and recruiters used them to poach! Most people told me about it, but two people left because of it. I don't want to make the job of the recruiter easier. But, on the other side, if you pay attention online, you know who works here so I suppose it's not all some big secret.
@ginidietrich I can see that. On the other hand, maybe people who don't come over here would want to see the depth of your team and their expertise. It might not be a must-have for you, but it could also help when people are considering hiring your firm. Just my two cents for what it's worth.
@lauraclick Yeah – I definitely see what you're saying. I may just have to get over myself.
@ginidietrich @lauraclick what about Space Cocktails? Was wondering if I should still include that when I build my next site.
I would strongly consider having a page devoted to who you will not work with.
I've seen more than a few law firms use this to solid effect. Or a page that acts as an above the funnel filter where you want to weed out bad prospects based on either organizational traits or in aligning their expectations. It could start out like this:
If all you want is publicity, we're not for you.
If all you want is media relations, we're not for you.
If you want us to measure the results of our efforts using advertising value equivalency, we're not for you….
And so on.
@Sean McGinnis LOVE this. I've talked about the type of companies we want to work with, but I like this even more. Great idea, Sean!
@lauraclick @Sean McGinnis I certainly refuse to ever work with Sean. Editing my website as we speak! Laura once I have my complete list of people and businesses to avoid I will let you know so you can cut and paste and add to your site.
@HowieG @lauraclick Very wise man Howie. 😉
@HowieG @Sean McGinnis Thanks for saving me some work! 😉
@Sean McGinnis I love this Sean!
@Sean McGinnis I hate to admit I really love this idea. Thank you! Now I don't have to be nice to you at dinner because I was nice to you here.
@ginidietrich I'll be sure to alert the media so we can have cameras present this evening… 😉
@Sean McGinnis @ginidietrich depending on who is picking up the tab I might crash the dinner.
@HowieG @ginidietrich If you crash, then you're definitely picking up the tab. BTW there are two others in addition to Gini & I.
@Sean McGinnis @ginidietrich I wasn't invited to speak at this Social Slam but was told they are holding a keynote slot for me next year. Topic 'The Print Media Comeback:Is it time to shutdown your website"
@Sean McGinnis They'll capture me being mean to you. I can't go a full day being nice to you. Inconceivable.
@ginidietrich Or not. 😉 Great to see you. Nice to remember what you actually look like. LOL!
@Sean McGinnis That's something I will be doing, at least in terms of "What I WON'T do for you". I end up telling potential clients this right up front. But I like your idea.
"If all you want is a Facebook page with a lot of fans, we're not for you"
If all you want is instant results, we're not for you.
@KenMueller Exactly Ken. The lawyers I've seen use it to good effect are the ones who have to deal with a high volume of inquiries and are very selective in whom they work with.
Prospect calls the firm. Lawyer asks, have you read this page yet? Nope. OK. Go do that and if you're still interested, then call me back.
He also has some info in there about a paid consult and rates, etc…
Not everyone can get away with this, but it has helped him a lot.
@Sean McGinnis Wow. Epic idea Sean.
@John_Trader1 Thanks John. 🙂
@Sean McGinnis I'm playing with a "start here" concept for my own site that does something similar, which reminds me that I need to add an "who I work with" portion to the content I started writing last night…
@Erin F. @Sean McGinnis Love it, Erin!
@Sean McGinnis DUDE. Fantastic idea.
@jasonkonopinski Thanks Jason. 🙂
"11. Who the hell is 'Arment'?"
@DickCarlson Do you not know this story? http://www.microsoft.com/business/en-us/resources/management/leadership-training/4-ways-businesswomen-can-combat-bias.aspx?fbid=KFBAs1KGOpw
You raise a good point, though. I'm totally putting it on the site!
@ginidietrich I had no idea. But my friend Jamie had a similar experience. http://www.copyblogger.com/james-chartrand-underpants/
@DickCarlson Whoa. That's an incredible story. It makes me proud and angry all at once.
@DickCarlson This is Arment http://youtu.be/XRT-YAFT2ys @ginidietrich
@KevinVandever @ginidietrich So glad to hear there's a firm, hairy hand gripping the tiller.
@annelizhannan No pressure!
You are channeling me this week for some reason. I should stop sending you harassing emails all day.
@HowieG Don't you ever stop!
@HowieG Don't stop! But also get your site done and blog moved and all that!
@ginidietrich I am ready. It should be done I am hoping by a week from tomorrow.
AstiAlexandria Thanks Asti!!
MargieClayman One more thing on my already overflowing plate.
ginidietrich I hear ya sister 🙂
@jasonkonopinski @lauraclick And I got a sneak peek!! It looks amazing so far, love it!!
@yvettepistorio @jasonkonopinski I did too – and I think it's great! Nice work, Jason!
As for pricing, I'm with you on that. The answer is often "it depends". I'm considering for some of my services (especially project-based work), doing something like "starting at $X" so I'm not wasting time talking to people who can't afford to work with me.
What are you thinking about doing?
@lauraclick @yvettepistorio That might be a way to work through it. Set a floor and work from there. In my own work, I'm moving away from billing hourly (except in a few legacy situations) and offering project rate instead.
@jasonkonopinski @lauraclick @yvettepistorio Our clients prefer project rate instead. The only time we give a hourly is if its maintenance or above and beyond our project quote.
@sydcon_mktg @lauraclick @yvettepistorio Aye – and I quote most small jobs knowing the hours that will be involved in producing a chunk of writing. I know I can pull together a 1,000 word ghostwritten blog post in two hours, so I typically quote my hourly x 2.
@sydcon_mktg @jasonkonopinski @yvettepistorio Yup. Most everything we do is project based too…unless it's a long-term relationship approach and then it's different altogether. But, I agree that showing a base price can be helpful.
@lauraclick @sydcon_mktg @jasonkonopinski @yvettepistorio I am dealing with this right now. If like me you actually run social networks for a client including content curation, posting, community management etc flat rate is fine but they have to know the hours spent. If I am paid for 1 hr a day to run Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest they need to expect what 20 mins a day for each will result in…which really isn't much.
@HowieG @lauraclick @sydcon_mktg @jasonkonopinski I completely agree, 20 minutes a day can only do so much. It takes time to build and nurture communities/relationships. A lot of people just want it to happen in the blink of an eye.
@yvettepistorio @lauraclick @sydcon_mktg @jasonkonopinski I read on Mashable…everyday…that if I start a Facebook page I will have people flocking to it.
@jasonkonopinski As a potential buyer of your services, it helps me to know your hourly rate. That way I can scope out how many hours I think it'll take and provide an estimate to a client that way.
Thanks for this G! I spend a lot of time thinking of how better utilize our site. My problem is- the decision maker isn't the purchaser, and the purchaser doesn't want to buy, and steals. A lot. I like how you've segregated different content for different segments- now how to use that to appeal to the ones that just don't want to be there.
@RebeccaTodd Hmmmm…this would be a good Skype conversation. I'll bet we could figure it out.
@ginidietrich Thanks. Although after how the team responded to my idea yesterday, I am not sure I will ever be suggesting anything again.
As you know, I got over my "business owner's disease" last month and finally launched the new t60productions.com. Sooooo glad I'm cured! 🙂
It's definitely a work in progress. Laura's post reminded me I need some sort of a call to action, so I'm going to work that in. Overall though… you will feel much better having a website you're excited about.
–Tony Gnau
@T60Productions Lindsay gave me a task today. She read your blog post about creating a video for About Us. So now I have to do that for here, AD, and Spin Sucks Pro. I told her I'd do it in May. Well, you'll do it in May. I'll just be the talent.
@ginidietrich @T60Productions Tony do you love @lauraclick 's post yesterday? I think not >8)
@ginidietrich Tony: yay!
@sydcon_mktg @lauraclick On pricing, one thing I've seen and I think makes sense for firms that do mostly custom work…..is a hybrid of @Sean McGinnis idea from below where he talks about having a page for people you won't work with.
Essentially, having a page w/webform that allows clients to submit details and ask for a quote, but on that page also detail the core of what you are (and what you are not), thus communicating the value and also letting people know you're not a one-off type of place.
@JoeCardillo @sydcon_mktg @lauraclick @Sean McGinnis OOOH. I like that idea.
@sydcon_mktg @lauraclick @Sean McGinnis That makes sense, for that I'd agree w/Gini's response below. Setting a minimum is fair to you and clients so that no one's time is wasted.
@sydcon_mktg You know how I answer the pricing question…you experienced it yesterday. We have a minimum because, like you, we customize our programs based on research and the organization's marketing goals. But we also know how much it costs to do what we do really well so that's what we put on the site.
howiegoldfarb Thanks Howie!!!
sydcon_mktg Thanks for sharing Jennifer!!
SpinSucks My pleasure!!
John_Trader1 Thanks John!!
ReedStockman Thanks for sharing Reed!
GrandmaOnDeck Thanks for sharing Gloria!!
yaseend Thanks for sharing Yaseen!
Right on Gini! Thanks for the kick in the pants. I've been dragging my feet on creating some new content for my site too, so I'm glad I'm not the only one. haha. Time to get to it…
@spacebarpress We should hold one another accountable.
well, my task list just grew.
@terence.stephens Sorry to add to it. But it's a fun task!
Funny, I've been having similar cognitive dissonance about my own site and just moved redesign up on my task list, too. I am toying with the idea of incorporating a learning center that's separate from the blog and with simplifying the overall navigation. How long will we all be content with those standard (and unimaginative) "Home + About + Services + Portfolio + Blog + Contact" header links?
@Adam_Green I really hate the typical navigation, but my user experience friends tell me it's necessary because people know what to expect when they click on those. What will you include in your learning center? I like that idea!
@JakeMeador That's how we are, too! Do lots and lots of website content for clients. Create lots and lots of sitemaps. Develop lots and lots of content with calls-to-action, yet our site has none of that.
I really like your navigation ideas – especially free resources. It goes to @jdrobertson 's idea of having something for dummies.
Providing an ebook to prospects is an idea I'd like to hear more about @ginidietrich, but I'm seeing an infographic for prospects, especially with that title.
@ginidietrich Thanks for the details! With the addition of the posts, it's a nice resource for the prospective client. About 10 minutes after I posted the infographic idea, I saw your video about not liking infographics. As much as I love words, I'm also a visual person. Sorry I missed the webinar.
@Word Ninja I'm in the 16% of the world who learns by reading. Most people are visual learners so you don't have to apologize to me! Where they really annoy me is on Pinterest. You have to scroll and scroll and scroll just to get to the next image.
@Word Ninja BTW, this made me laugh out loud: "freelance writer and editor (because my nunchuck skills are underappreciated)."
@ginidietrich @Word Ninja Count me in the 16% too. I almost HAVE to read it if I am going to absorb it. If a webinar comes with a transcript, I am in heaven I tell ya! Heaven.
@ginidietrich Laughing is good for you. I do it every day. I hate aerobics. (And here's my BTW…This blog is incredible. I started my bus. comm. blog several months ago, and you've inspired me to step it up…which kinda sounds like aerobics…)
@Word Ninja That's so nice of you to say. Thank you! And…aerobics are good for you, plus you can eat more.
@rdopping I want to dissuade prospects, though. The reason I do it is because lots and lots and LOTS of people call wanting our services only to find out they can't afford us. That's why we have a minimum. If they can't afford us, I always refer them to a cadre of freelancers I know will do good work. And you know what happens? Two or three years later, when they can afford us, they call me again. Happens all the time.
@ginidietrich I guess it scales differently in your world. I get what you are saying and it makes sense. I have always wondered what you guys charge away.
@ginidietrich @rdopping I posted a comment to Ralph's comment. And now it's gone. #sadface
@belllindsay That's so weird. I saw – and read – it.
@ginidietrich @rdopping
Bravo! A basic tenet of leadership is to avoid the negative. I can't begin to tell you how much it means to a prospective client to be able to walk away thinking you actually care. A reputation espousing, "if they can't help you – they know who can" will get you everywhere!
@rdopping I have to respectfully disagree Ralph (re: pricing, not Hank LOL). I despise going to a website that doesn't list prices. It always strikes me as smug and condescending, "Dah-ling, if you have to ASK, you can't afford it!" I don't care whether it's for an article of clothing, a stunning piece of mid-century modern furniture (right??) or a service worth potentially thousands of dollars. I want to be able to make my own mind up whether or not to call. And it's the inquiry itself is an extra step I am usually not inclined to take. 🙂
@belllindsay Wait. Here it is!
@rdopping Well, yes, I agree it would a BIT different were you looking to build a house! LOL And of course you weren't inferring that I was poor – which I am. LMAO!!!
@belllindsay @rdopping @ginidietrich this reminds me of the monty python scene where the guy refuses to haggle. Not sure where @johnfalchetto has been but I am sure he knows places that still prefer to haggle. Like Montreal and Greenland.
@HowieG @belllindsay @ginidietrich @johnfalchetto I love you Howie.
How about a 'website for dummies' section where you really hammer on: How to know if your site is really really REALLY, "user friendly?"
@jdrobertson I like the dummies idea a lot! So much so, in fact, I may steal it!
@TaraGeissinger I totally made that up because I hear the same things from business owners: My business is unique. We don't have time to do that. Clients come first. Blah, blah, blah. It drives me crazy when people say that and yet…
@ginidietrich I think it stems from being so darn close to everything as a business owner that you simply can't see what you're lacking. If I were to 'analyze' my marketing (like I would for a client), it would be glaringly obvious. Sounds like a blog post to me — Things I Would Tell Myself If I Were My Own Client. 🙂
IAmAdamGreen Lol!! Great minds think alike!
SpinSucks indeed 🙂
LV8comm Thanks!
ClaritySol Thank you!
ginidietrich You're very welcome! Great reminder.. I've been subject to that with my accounting systems as well. Sigh.
ClaritySol http://t.co/XFLsiLCdbOdbO
ginidietrich I know some guys who can help you with your website(s) redesign. 🙂
shane_mahoney Which reminds me…I need to send you this creative brief. Argh!
ginidietrich Yr point about 'owners disease' is spot on – users are who need to benefit, learn and transact from yr website, not the owner.
What not to do…
@AstiAlexandria Was my email helpful?
when you should delegate and when you shouldn't
Think you've covered the secondary requirements. Primary, of course, is to make sure to keep your awesome tag line. I'm almost certain that any success you and your business has achieved can be linked to that.
@KevinVandever Yes, of course. We would never want to lose that awesome and award-winning tagline.
@ginidietrich Right! Award-winning. Almost forgot about that.
All I know is you can never have too much insurance, so that's all I have to say on my website. And whatever you say should be on a website, then I'm copying you because I know you are smart like that.
Website design and/or content is not something to be asking me…:)…I have other skills…no, really…
@bdorman264 I think you should have an image of a really big accident on your home page and a headline that says, "You can never have too much insurance."
You're welcome.
@ginidietrich See….I knew you were smart like that….brilliant….
@bdorman264 @ginidietrich Bill doesn't insure easy stuff like homes. He insures crazy things like Nuclear Plants, Cargo Ship, and Off Shore Oil Platforms. Maybe have a picture of a cargo ship crashing into a nuclear powered oil platform?
@HowieG @ginidietrich While being struck by a falling satellite we insure……
I do insure http://www.fantasyofflight.com/ and it has planes, boats, cars, balloons, ropes course and people, lot's of people coming in the doors.
And you know what I tell them? Repeat after me….'you can never have too much insurance'……:).
ginidietrich TheSalesLion Hey, now. There was no butt kicking involved! But, I'm glad we inspired you! I need to make web changes too!
How to use Killer Dolphins and Attack Squirrels to drive your competition out of business is the kind of ebook everyone wants to read. Just ask @HowieG
@Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes @HowieG Fine. Let's co-author it. You write the killer dolphin pieces and I'll write the attack squirrels piece.
@ginidietrich @Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes Considering the White Papers and EBooks I get offered by the likes of Wildfire, Brian Solis, etc this would be the way to go.
BTW while I seriously questioned why Google bought Wildfire, and while they haven't fixed the bullshit yet it was brilliant for two reasons. They have a foothold in the Facebookverse and I bet they are working on 3rd party aps for G+
This pleases me no end. We have great stories to tell about the work we do and I am excited to see the task bumped up on the list. Also appreciate the list you've included in this post because so many will get value from having it spelled out simply, in list form, for them. Yay!
@allenmireles I bumped it up mostly so a lot of the work gets done while I'm taking my writing vacation.
JmeSolis Thanks Jamie!
SpinSucks Anytime 🙂
I'm right there with you, Gini! This cobbler is in such need of new shoes, it's not even funny. Now, all the little 'fixes' that we do to the site end up looking like duct tape on an old pair of shoes, with some fun pink laces thrown in so that we distract from the real issue! Thanks for the kick in the pants.
My challenge? I have to figure out a way to slide that into the mix of business planning; capturing existing systems that live in my head and translating them for a growing team; and client work. Oy.
@EricaAllison Oh I am well aware. That's why it's been on my list for more than a year.
ericamallison Smooches!
jkcallas ginidietrich I like that you promote that professional services firms take their own medicine. It doesn't happen nearly enough!
TimelapseStrats Well, I have to take that medicine too. Working on it! jkcallas

We will be holding a session at the RIPE meeting for people interested in discussing user-defined measurements (UDM) with RIPE Atlas. Both beta testers and people who have not yet used UDM are welcome to attend.
RIPE Labs
RIPE Atlas user-defined measurements are here! Hosts and sponsors can begin creating personalised measurements from probes around the globe.
At RIPE 63, the RIPE NCC was asked to consider possible options for Internationalisation of the RIPE Database content. This article provides a quick overview of the current situation as well as possible developments and challenges.
The next RIPEstat demo will be presented live at RIPE 64 in Ljubljana. After the demonstration there will be time to discuss RIPEstat development with other interested people. If you're not able to attend the demo, there are other opportunities to meet the people behind RIPEstat, and to watch a recording of the demo.
The RIPE NCC is 20 years old and it now has over 8,000 members. In this article, we drill down a bit more into the composition of our membership: what industry do RIPE NCC members come from and which countries account for the highest numbers of members and IP resources.
We would like to introduce the RIPE NCC Report Form. Our aim is to make it easier for you to get in touch and we also hope to further improve the quality of the data in the Internet number resource registry.
RIPE Atlas is now accessible for all the RIPE Labs users and LIR Portal users, via "RIPE NCC Access" (single sign on system).
The third RIPEstat demo for 2012 covered all the new and modified widgets we've added in the last month: ASN Neighbours, Geolocation History, Prefix Count, Prefix Size Distribution, Routing History, and Announced Prefixes. Other new features included enabling the RIPE NCC Access login system, and links to RIPEstat from the RIPE database. A preview of upcoming development concluded the presentation.
We developed a script to measure IPv6 capabilities of DNS resolvers and clients two years ago. Recently we found some interesting trends in IPv6 capable DNS infrastructure.
RIPEstat has a new widget: Geolocation History. Geolocation History provides information about the physical location of address space over time. This article describes the features of the widget, and explains how the results can be interpreted.

Louisiana-A Bygone Era
Beyond the murky Gulf waters, swamps and alligators, lies a lazy meandering road know as ?The River Road.? Strewn with every type of home from modern to beyond the poverty point you become aware of magic in the air. Your excitement is doubled by the dark storm clouds hanging in the sky. Endlessly, the road goes on as you follow hoping there will be a safe refuge from the storm. Then, in the distance you see the huge oak trees. At last, the long get away you have been saving for is here. One of the little cottages on the property will be your home for a week. With that thought, you check in melting into history on the property known as ?The Grand Damn of the River Road.? or Oak Ally. You will dine on Cajun/Creole food and leave with a few souvenirs from the gift shop. All in all, even seasoned visitors to this 1839 French Creole sugar plantation will re-experience the command these old manors demand. And yes?Oak Ally is reportedly a haunted antebellum home.

"Happiness Is Not My Companion"
The Life of General G. K. Warren
David M. Jordan
The valorous but troubled career of the Civil War general, best known for his quick action to defend Little Round Top and avert a Union defeat at Gettysburg.
Gouverneur K. Warren, a brilliant student at West Point and a topographical engineer, earned early acclaim for his explorations of the Nebraska Territory and the Black Hills in the 1850s. With the start of the Civil War, Warren moved from teacher at West Point to lieutenant colonel of a New York regiment and was soon a rising star in the Army of the Potomac. His fast action at Little Round Top, bringing Federal troops to an undefended position before the Confederates could seize it, helped to save the Battle of Gettysburg. For his service at Bristoe Station and Mine Run, he was awarded command of the Fifth Corps for the 1864 Virginia campaign.
Warren's peculiarities of temperament and personality put a cloud over his service at the Wilderness and Spotsylvania and cost him the confidence of his superiors, Grant and Meade. He was summarily relieved of his command by Philip Sheridan after winning the Battle of Five Forks, just eight days before Appomattox. Warren continued as an engineer of distinction in the Army after the war, but he was determined to clear his name before a board of inquiry, which conducted an exhaustive investigation into the battle, Warren's conduct, and Sheridan's arbitrary action. However, the findings of the court vindicating Warren were not made public until shortly after his death.
For this major biography of Gouverneur Warren, David M. Jordan utilizes Warren's own voluminous collection of letters, papers, orders, and other items saved by his family, as well as the letters and writings of such contemporaries as his aide and brother-in-law Washington Roebling, Andrew Humphreys, Winfield Hancock, George Gordon Meade, and Ulysses S. Grant. Jordan presents a vivid account of the life and times of a complex military figure.
David M. Jordan, a native of Philadelphia, a graduate of Princeton University, and a practicing attorney, has previously published biographies of New York political boss Roscoe Conkling, Union general Winfield Scott Hancock, and pitcher Hal Newhouser, as well as a history of the Philadelphia Athletics.

considering new wheels 17x 8.5 need advice..
Hello everyone,
I am considering a wheel upgrade for my 89 635csi 5spd turbo. The car currently has 225-50-15 all the way around on borbet type h wheels with the hub centric ring. The car has developed a bad vibration between 80 and 120mph, I have a feeling it is due to a bent wheel or possibly the hub rings are becoming rusty. Ebay has a set of wheels I was considering. What would be the largest recommended tire size to fit on these? I need as much tire in the rear as possible as it is hard to keep 1st and 2nd from spinning at any boost level right now. I was thinking 235-40-17 in the front and 255-40-17 in the rear bfg g-force tires. Any thoughts or experiences are appreciated.

The design and implementation of a complete gas sensor system for liquified petroleum gas (LPG) gas sensing are presented. The system consists of a SnO2 transducer, a lowcost heater, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) with front-end interface circuitry, and a microcontroller interface for data logging. The ASIC includes a relaxation-oscillator-based heater driver circuit that is capable of controlling the sensor operating temperature from 100degC to 425degC. The sensor readout circuit in the ASIC, which is based on the resistance to time conversion technique, has been designed to measure the gas sensor response over three orders of resistance change during its interaction with gases.

- Description
DetailsThe 808RC4 streamlines our range of 3-way heads by incorporating new elements while maintaining all the features you loved. There are two balance springs in the vertical tilt (forward/backward) and horizontal tilt (left/right) movements. These springs enable you to more comfortably handle heavier camera loads (such as very long lenses) with minimal effort. Both springs can be turned off in case normal head operation is required. The head is comprised of aluminium and designed in a manner to support up to 8kg yet lightweight and small enough to pack in any camera kit. The standard quick release system is used to accommodate larger camera platforms which incorporates dual axis bubble levels to achieve level shots.
