Dangers in the City for Dogs

Sometimes walking the dogs feels like a round of “Gladiators” with having to weave through busy crowds, watching out for litter and avoiding man hole covers or grates. Sometimes our walks feel more like an assault course than a pleasant walk with our dogs.

To save our sanity, we have compiled a list of the biggest dangers to dogs in the City

Grates/Man hole covers

The danger of our precious pooch getting caught on one of these is very real. With some dogs small enough to fall through, and others able to get their foot caught- be wary my friend to any spaces on the street that Fido can get hurt on.

Poisoning in a real problem for our 4 legged friend because of another 4 legged creature-rats. Rats are a real problem in City life and because of this, poison is almost always the first port of call for dealing with them. However, this can cause a real (and potentially deadly) problem for your dog. Most local authorities label areas where they bait rats with poison but a lot don’t.

Always be on the cautious side and don’t allow your dog to pick up things from the street (basic impulse control can be taught to a dog of any age), and don’t allow your dog to drink out of any puddles as Leptosporois is a real problem in several major cities. If you see a rat- keep your dog away. Ratting in a City is dangerous

Cities are sadly dirty places. I have never been to a city where I did not see broken trash bags or chicken bones or pizza crusts on the floor. While these signs of litter do not just look unappealing, they can potentially be dangerous for our 4 legged friends. Out of date, moldy food can make our dogs sick if they eat it and bones such as cooked chicken bones and ribs can cause chocking hazards. Be careful and always scan ahead for trash on the street while walking your dog

Traffic in the City

City commuters are relentless, and a red light doesn’t always mean its safe to cross. We don’t like using flexi leashes but if you do, please keep it locked so your dog can’t run into the road.

While most cyclists are law abiding, some bring anarchy to the roads and will use the pavement as their own personal fast lane. Keep an eye out and keep Fido close

Other People

While most of the time people are lovely. When Mister corporate business man is rushing to get a cab or Miss CEO is late for a meeting- they are not watching out for your dog. The same applies to people more focused on their phone than where they are walking. Your dogs safety is in your hands so keep them nice and close to you in crowds and busy areas. I usually will move my dogs behind me if in a busy area so my body is blocking their from any accidents. Having a brightly colored harness is also helpful in city life.

What hazards do you face with your dog in the City?

Preview: The Vincent Black Shadow

[Music] It's a long way to the top if you want to rock & roll in dark, poppy fashion. For Vancouver's Vincent Black Shadow, the lengthy journey out of obscurity began with the band assessing its talents in relation to popular acts My Chemical Romance and The Used—groups who employed the type of dramatic theatrics VBS infuses in their own eclectic sound.

The female-fronted act lived largely in the shadows even after releasing their debut, Fear's In the Water (2006), but with the new El Monstruo its members make a strong case for audiences to wake up to a hard-riffed blend of punk, metal, jazz and classical-fueled compositions—songs that help them stand out in the eyeliner-obsessed demographic.

The album has received widespread critical acclaim from print and television outlets, coverage that’s well-deserved (though it doesn’t hurt that lead singer Cassandra Ford resembles Christina Ricci, either).

Ford sings in a style comparable to Gwen Stefani’s fierce pipes during No Doubt’s heyday. Fun, confident and completely catchy, her voice lifts songs like “Fear’s In the Water, “Broken,” and “Control,” to complement melodic guitars and keyboards. Those songs, however, fall short of brilliant. El Monstruo’s track listing demonstrates the band’s marked improvement.

In 2008, VBS signed to Beef Records but distributed El Monstruo independently on their website, A bold move, yes—but it paid off.

El Monstruo takes the same formula that drove the group’s debut effort, but ups the volume and energy. Dramatic strings and heavy guitars appear on songs like “They Still Want You” and “Don’t Make Me So Mad,” giving the band a polished and mature sound.

The band deserves credit for going out on a limb and releasing it themselves. Currently, they act as managers, public relations specialists, promoters and, oh yeah, rock stars.

As for their live show, well we know they’ve learned from some of the best. The Vincent Black Shadow has toured with bands such as Joan Jett, Bif Naked and Snow Patrol. Now on their second headlining tour, the band takes its energetic show to Salt Lake City tonight at Kilby Court, 741 S. 330 West,

  1. Sometimes I wish these band previews would show up before the very night they're performing. Give us a few days heads up or something, yeah?

Blog, Vlog, Glog

As I was browsing Techcrunch today, there was an article on a new company called Glogster where you can create a vanity poster on the web without downloading any software.

First, I disagree with Arrington's review of Glogster where he says it's like Geocities in a bad way. I mean, it's true that when we had Geocities, it didn't really create a lot of traffic--it was a bunch of people trying out how to use the internet. But I think it's great because it's a nice place to create mini works of art and who knows? Maybe you can get some mini celebs who are really great artists or just like playing around with design. I suppose we are in an era of super production, where everything is made to increase productivity and efficiency, but I don't think it's such a bad thing to have a goofy creative outlet to test out your ideas and have them hyperlinked.

Glogster is a vanity product. After the world-conscious Millenial Generation, comes the vain "me first" Generation Me. It may just well be a pull market product where the consumers will shape the product capabilities.

Blood Diamonds for Christmas Anyone?

I saw Blood Diamonds on my Netflix last night and Leo DiCaprio did a phenomenal job of picking up a South African accent but moreover choosing to do this film is commendable. I'm going to start obsessing over this film with all the inane details since I can watch the short documentaries that came with the DVD.

After seeing this movie, it really hit me that a lot of people could be dying because of greed, craziness, and vanity. I don't think there are many people who could purchase such things with conscious knowledge of the conflicts that occur. Worse, it's hard for us to discern between a conflict diamond and a hard-earned one. It's a classic case of market demand and supply with a good dose of Maslow's hiearchy theory mixed in. I mean, we are talking about basic needs like hunger and survival and higher needs like vanity and peer recognition. It is insane.

Africa is one of the most frustrating continents in the world psychologically, socially and economically. I feel sorry for the children who are kidnapped and taught to kill.

Better buy local techie gifts for the holidays. iPod is good, because who doesn't like music? or better yet, get a Creative Zen or one of those $40 USB mp3 players. Screw status--look what it did to African children.

The Creative Zens are are most likely better priced on peripheral products and they will have FM radio which iPod does not. My 3rd generation Nano has a fragile screen according to CNet and the most annoying thing about it is that mp3 cases are overpriced. 1st and 2nd gen nano cases now cost about 5 dollars. I'm not a big fan of Apple's pricing strategy...not sure about other companies but Apple does not really show love to their biggest fans, the early adopters.

Let's Get Together and It'll Be All Right

Whether born-and-raised or adopted, NorCal-ites have to make social connections with all kinds of people because it’s intrinsic to having a productive life here. We may do our networking in jeans, but it’s business as usual in a geekified, non-conventional way. That's what I love about this place. People here really know their stuff.

I have a couple of friends out on the job hunt and the ones who have trouble are reluctant to tap the hidden job market or unaware that it exists. Mostly recent college graduates (grad and undergrad) the conversation usually goes like this:

Me: "Try joining a club or going to an event."
Objection: “I’m not that kind of person who likes to make small talk”
Me: "Yeah, it can be hard to do."

And I do understand this sentiment it's easy for people to stay in their comfort zones and I'm certainly no expert when it comes to being a socialite. The way I think about it though is that it is no less frightening than the various times I had to start a new school as a "corporate brat" moving from country to country. I'm an extroverted introvert, so my homebody self is not accustomed to crowds. Even so, I’ve earned the reputation of being the crowd cheerleader, because I like to get people together and watch the sparks fly.

The moral of the story is if there are so-called "monsters in the closet", if you go and meet them, they could turn out to be your advocates in life and you’ll root for those who inspire you as well.

Why we are online

Things that could have proliferated the internet in web 2.0 in no particular order:

  • Laptops and increased storage
  • Cheaper DSL lines
  • Better telecomm networks
  • Antisocial teenagers avoiding contact with parents and reaching out to friends through the internet
  • Social networks online starting with Friendster and proliferated by Facebook
  • All the free services that the internet offers to consumers
  • EBay
  • Stanford start-ups
  • Grandfather Semiconductor companies like National, Intel and Agilent--the foundation of Silicon Valley
  • Let's not forget that there used to be a ton of fruit farms and YOU PICK farms that are most likely replaced by business parks now
  • Laziness and procrastination: internet is entertainment
  • Outsourcing
  • Immigration of Indian and then Chinese software developers
  • Search engines like Google, Altavista, Yahoo! among others which made information more accessible
  • HTML: ability to have your own website in web 1.0 and then hating that it takes so long to create a website plus WYSIWYG free services made crappy websites so now log on to Facebook and you don't need to learn or write code

    What else?

  • Wednesday, December 12, 2007

    Well, I'm still trying to figure out this whole blogging thing and it is lacking momentum at the moment. I think people do try to look at my blog from the links posted on my emails but my two challenges are always thinking of good content to write about and then getting viewers or "listeners" to come and comment. Chris Brogan wrote a good article about this which really suggests that the way we read newspapers and stuff is changing. So here's the article on Marketing Profs.

    Social Media Starter Kit: The Tools You Need

    by Chris Brogan
    December 11, 2007

    Work of any kind requires an understanding of the appropriate tools for the job, and social media is no different. You can't pitch hay with a shovel, and you can't dig a ditch with a pitchfork.

    Here are some serving suggestions for a set of social media tools. The actual applications will change, over time, because technology tends to do that. But the basic functions should evolve a little more slowly.

    In social media, as in life, listening is twice as important as speaking. Online, the tool for listening is a news reader. This type of software allows you to understand the conversation going on out there, and the best of them permits you to do a little more understanding of what you're "hearing."
    Article continues below

    I recommend Google Reader. It's easy to use, has ways to roll through information quickly, supports the import and export of OPML (simply, the bundle of all the feeds you've selected to follow), and has some powerful sharing features that make it more compelling to me than other readers.

    What should you listen to? It depends on how you're intending to use the tool; but, if you're part of a company in a certain space, here's a way to think of it:

    * Build an ego search. Use tools like Technorati and Google Blog Search to build a search on your company's name, your products' names, key employees' names, etc.
    * Build the same for your competitors.
    * Find blogs about your specific space or industry and subscribe to a handful of them. (Easier to add tons and subtract a few than think you're getting the best and be missing something better).
    * Find a few tangential categories. If you're in software, subscribe to an art or marketing blog. If you're in marketing and PR, subscribe to an economy blog.
    * Add in a few hobbies. This should help you use this reader more frequently. (Don't overdo it, kids.)

    There are several advanced listening tools that take the data you receive and help you make better sense of it. As of this posting, I'm partial to Radian6 because it's flexible and allows a somewhat deeper dive on the information gathered. There are many tools in the advanced category, but I'll save that for some other time.

    Blogs and podcasts and videoblogs and Twitter and dozens and dozens of other tools exist for speaking. It's almost too much to tell you about all the various platforms, because I could deliver hundreds and hundreds of things for you to check out. Most of you probably already use something that you're comfortable with, and that you prefer.

    Instead, let's just talk about some ways to "improve" the quality of your speaking—that is, some ideas on how your voice can be better heard:

    * Use FeedBurner to improve your RSS feed. No built-in RSS feed has as many features and enhancements as FeedBurner provides. Bring your existing blog feed to FeedBurner, make a new feed there, do all the little tweaks and add-ons that they suggest, and then promote THAT feed as your subscription mechanism to your media, no matter what form your media takes.
    * Use Facebook and MySpace and other social networks to point people towards your primary media. Use these services to tap into audiences that might not find your work otherwise. Seek out like-minded people who are making similar media, and share attention with them (that is, give them attention and offer your media as something they might like, as well).
    * Make sure your email signature and your business card have your URL to your media. This is about reaching the people with your conversation.
    * Make sure your site and all your media points back to you, so folks know who you are, where you are, how to reach you, and what you are all about.

    Social networks abound. By the time this is posted, there will probably be another dozen launched. A week from now, there will be a new 100.

    Here are some thoughts about social networks, how you might use them for your social media experience, and a few that I like.

    * Twitter—Twitter is simple, and yet complex. You get 140 characters to say what you're doing, or, if you use it a little differently, to tell people what has your attention. Twitter is a great place to meet people, to build digital relationships and to add value to conversations. It's my current favorite social network.
    * Facebook—The benefit of Facebook is that it's a place with millions of active users and has had a powerful growth curve in the last several months: In other words, if you don't already have a huge audience, Facebook is a good place to find people who might like what you're doing. It's also gaining ground as a place businesses are investigating.
    * LinkedIn—It's a place for building an equivalent to your resume or CV, and that means it's another place to encourage people to interact with your media. List yourself as the publisher of a blog, or a media maker, as one of your "current jobs." Show people how to find your media there as well.
    * MySpace is appropriate if you have a youth element to your project, if you're in the music or entertaining space, and/or shouldn't be scoffed at, given that the user base of MySpace still far and away dwarfs other services. I have an out-of-date account there, and probably should listen to my own advice and tidy mine up.
    * Ning—Ning is a great white-label social network opportunity, allowing you to create a place for your audience should you already have a decent audience. It's modular, offers RSS for all the various pieces, integrates well with third-party applications, and can be branded nicely with your existing properties. Several large media companies are using Ning.
    * Other social networks. There are many other networks with great pocket communities for various interests. Flickr has built community around photo sharing. Digg has built a strong community around tech news. Seesmic is growing as "Twitter for video." And there are many more.

    Rich Media

    For content creation beyond blogging, I will touch briefly on some applications that I use to create media. There are tons of things that make this tricky to just touch on. PC vs. Mac. Price point. Your ultimate goal. Here's what I'll say is a good starter pack for making audio and video podcasts, for PC and Mac:

    * Audio—in both cases, I recommend Audacity. It's free, open source, and works on several platforms. For Macs, Garageband is good, too. I haven't found the analog on PC. Other solutions without hardware could be Utterz, Talkshoe, and BlogTalkRadio; each has its advantages and opportunities. Back in the day, I recommended Odeo, too. Still a good company, but I haven't touched the product in about a year.
    * Video—I use plain old iMovie, which comes with a Mac. You can use Windows Movie Maker on a PC with similar levels of skill. Beyond that, most folks swear by FinalCut Pro. I recommend FinalCut Express unless you're an amazing filmmaker and really want to make a new classic.
    * Audio hosting—for audio and for free, there are a few choices out there. You can use your blog's storage and bandwidth, and if you're a WordPress user I'd recommend PodPress. Some folks take advantage of Ourmedia's free hosting (but it can be slow). If you want to pay a few bucks, I believe LibSyn is one of the better outfits in town.
    * Video hosting—there are many more choices here, each with advantages and challenges that I won't talk about in this post. You already know about YouTube, but really read the terms of service to understand whether that's a good choice for you. I strongly recommend, and then beyond that there are tons of great services like Vimeo, Viddler, Revver, and tons and tons more.
    * Live video—Another new player in the works is live video. There are opportunities to build interesting and compelling opportunities with live video. Services like Ustream, BlogTV, and Paltalk offer different experiences in this world.

    Beyond these four segments, I have a few more tools I'd like to recommend, in case you're not aware or have other suggestions for me:
    * Firefox is my browser of choice. I like the power that the various add-ons bring to my Web-browsing experience. Other people swear by Flock as the social media browser of choice. You could try both and decide.
    * Miro is a free, open source Internet TV and video player. It's got some really great features and allows you to discover great video content.
    *—social bookmarking has two benefits over using your browser's bookmark system. You can get to it anywhere you have the Internet, and, second, you can discover new things from friends.
    * Meebo—Web-based IM aggregator application, allows you to be logged in to various instant messaging clients. App versions include Adium and Trillian.

    Why Newton isn't always right

    Newton's law states that anything that is put into motion stays in motion (unless something else prevents it from being so).

    I know, marketing is not physics but there is a word we use a lot in viral marketing called "momentum" which is supposed to keep the ball moving, as they say, on a product's development and enhance the buyer's desire to purchase your product over others.

    For B2B marketers, this tends to be quite the challenge because business organizations, more than individuals, tend to prefer the products they already have over new products. It's more complicated for IT managers to implement a new system and train people on how to use it than it is to stick with the status quo.

    We often hear about products catching fire and gaining popularity. Some recent products of note is the iPhone and well, the ever pervasive Facebook where the inherent notion is getting your friends to join. Someone I spoke to today pointed out to me that it is indeed true with B2C products, but B2B has its own challenges.

    I think that this is where PR can play a larger role to create so much credibility and reputation around a product that if your competitors are using the applications, then you better get on the bandwagon.

    Communication, a Media Invasion

    I was talking with some of my colleagues from the Silicon Valley American Marketing Association (SVAMA) yesterday and we were speculating on social media and how this arena is changing traditional media. Michael was saying that it's actually not true that current media replaces old media--it just gets re-innovated. Radios didn't get replaced by Walkmans, and even though we don't use the old tapes format anymore, we don't listen to music any differently than we did after Walkman. And books haven't gotten replaced by things like the Kindle or Sony e-Reader and so far, it doesn't seem like they will. It's almost impossible to have a true "paperless office" even with cool tools made by Google Apps and Zoho but one thing that remains true is that innovation is constant and changing.

    I'm no expert, but some good conclusions came out of our group conversation, but I keep noticing some of the same themes. The group I was speaking with were fairly knowledagable about social media. But in general, a lot of marketers aren't sure how social media works and there a lot of fear surrounding blogs, social networks and such to use them as a marketing tool. I think we just need to get back to basics and remember some marketing 101: who is your target market and will the tools you want to use serve your business/marketing objectives?

    Of course, it's easier said than done, so feel free to post your thoughts on social media approaches and/or the latest trends in technology innovation that you see.

    Time and ROI

    I was in a cafe today, where the people watching was good, and a guy from the East coast was going on about business relationships, how to cultivate them and how it's different on the West Coast. I didn't catch most of what he said, and just tuned in to Pandora radio shortly after, but there was a snippet in his conversation that I could identify: A lot of business can be developed through conversations and building relationships--Californians don't do enough of that here in California because they only care about making a profit.

    I don't know if what he says is true about Californians and relationship building. Maybe we don't want to lose our "coolness factor" by acting too interested but from an economic perspective, it looks business is important here and many people are benefiting from the opportunities made possible through start-ups and more mature companies. If it wasn't important here, then a number of the best 100 businesses to work for wouldn't be here. The question is, is it true what he says about Californians? Do we take the time to cultivate our relationships for mutual business benefit and show good will towards others?

    How much time do you spend in your relationships for mutual benefit and staying dynamic versus trying to solicit immediate profit via hard sales? Is relationship ROI always a measurable number like how many people you are connected to on LinkedIn or is it more actionable where you see a few quality business relationships bring you steady business and more opportunities?

    First Movers: Strive through the narrow gate

    Early last week, announced the release of the Kindle, the latest device for e-books, thus taking over the market space once occupied by the Sony Reader, which I've seen a couple of times at Borders in Palo Alto.

    It's hard to say just which e-reader is going to win out in the battle, but it's not the first time that Sony has come out with a "first-mover" product to be later taken over by competitors with better resources and positioning.

    Also true for the Blu-ray, which is in fierce battle now with the HD-DVD. The last I heard, Blu-ray was in the lead and then HD-DVD was winning, mostly measured by number of units sold. Does anyone know where this is now? There is a fair amount of noise around this subject.

    I'm definitely not making any eye-opening comments here but I dare say that Sony has had to struggle really hard to keep their brand on the forefront, which confirms that first-mover advantage doesn't always mean that you've won the game.

    Even though Sony revolutionized the music market with the Walkman roughly about 20 years ago Apple came and trumped them with the trendy, life-style icon, the iPod and didn't just stop there.

    It just seems that whenever Sony comes up with something, no matter which market, somebody else always seems to come up with something better.

    Lucky - Albertson's struggle

    Last night, I went to my neighborhood Albertson's grocery store to get myself an after-dinner treat to find that the store was closed, and they were changing the Albertson's banner to Lucky's.

    I know that legal issues are at stake here, and people's pride is also at stake, but it's really annoying to me as a consumer to be in the middle of a legal struggle.

    OK so this is an old issue, but if a company is intelligent, are they going to spend a ton of time and money on licensing issues and spend a lot of money putting up new signs across Northern California just get the "Lucky" brand out there again. I mean, it has been a little less than 10 years since Lucky was originally popular.

    Oh well, it's not me spending the money.

    Why Green is More Important

    Green vs. Green. Which is better? Being rich or being environmentally-sound? This is the new dilemma of our century.

    This morning I was listening to NPR and an interesting issue came up: if we keep going at the rate that we are going, heating up the ozone and causing global warming, some frozen areas on the Earth (I forgot what they are called) will melt, thus causing over 50 feet of water to be added to the Earth's surface. This is akin to over-flowing your bath tub with water, but with more serious results. A lot of cities are located near coastlines and our cities could be under water.

    I have a fear of drowning. So to be a little bit naive, I would say I prefer to be alive than to be dead and rich.

    What's Your Net Impact?

    My 5 every-day environmental guilt trips:

    1. Buying groceries: Plastic bags can add about 13 cents to your bill, and depending on how often you buy groceries, this can add up. Plus, it creates waste & carbon emissions every time you recycle.
    2. Individual-sized anything: Plastic water bottles (the ones that come in a huge carton with about 16 or 20 bottles per pack) or paper coffee cups. Bottom line: bring lunch and your own thermos to your fave cafe.
    3. Transportation: The cost of gas prices + lack of advertising to inform commuters how to take the train!
    4. Garbage: Landfills are basically holes sealed off with something to prevent toxic waste from seeping into our ground water. Every time I take the trash out, I get paranoid that I could be poisoning people by adding to the wreckage.
    5. Unnecessary air conditioning/heating: Carbon emissions & waste of energy. Blankets are cosier for cold days and windows do wonders for creating more air circulation.
    Green News:
    The Economist, June 14th 2007

    A who's who of technology firms launched an industry initiative to reduce computer energy consumption. The campaign, which is being led by Google and Intel, commits makers of PCs and servers to higher efficiency standards.

    Europe pumped out fewer greenhouse gases in 2005, according to new data from the European Environment Agency. Emissions from the European Union's 27 member states dropped by 0.7% compared with a year earlier. Finland, Germany and the Netherlands contributed most to the drop.

    Social Business Enterprises

    Have you ever thought about starting your own business? What about a business that addresses global social issues that are happening right now in the world?

    Here's something to think about:

    I cannot emphasize enough how little people think about opportunities outside of their own comfort zone. Everyone, including myself, is guilty of pursuing the "American dream" but we do not realize that there are children who are continuously under the threat of terrorism today. The shock is immense and perhaps very easy for us, in the comfort of our own homes and offices to simply forget and move on with our daily lives.

    But what if we moved beyond this comfort level and push ourselves just a little bit to think of solutions? Of course we have our own problems with American soldiers in Iraq, civil problems, national problems and so forth. But if you were to go look on this website, you might find something that will motivate you to act just as much as I was to write this posting.

    In my own childhood, I, like any other child, had the right to curiosity, play and innocence. Truly, I would not want other children to be denied the same right.

    Creativity & Innovation

    Recently, I took a workshop called "Creativity & Innovation."

    Companies tend to choose people who are similar to them and who think like them. We largely dislike conflict and challenge and think that it is unproductive and slows down the business process.

    In groups where we've challenged and argued with each other, while simultaneously respecting each other's opinions, I gained new colleagues that I could respect and value. And whom respect and value me.

    Creativity is the child's mind, or in Buddha's terms, the "monkey mind." This is the mind that thinks without censorship. Innovation is creativity translated into action.

    I found that this can be a very powerful tool when people are able to combine the "whole company brain." Apple, Inc. is a famous example of this. If Apple hadn't gone beyond computers and hadn't created the iPod today, Apple wouldn't be the status symbol that it is today.

    Google is another example. It revolutionized search. It gave us word document sharing, satellite-style mapping and the ability to apply Google search on our own websites.

    Now, this is the product of putting many "monkey minds" to work.

    The world of business is not without politics.

    As a young and amateur businessperson, the subject of communicating, politicking and ethics hasn't become intuitive yet. When I say that it hasn't become intuitive, I mean that it is still easy to see the world through rose-colored glasses.

    My definition of "politicking" is this: when people start to do things that others are not aware about and make decisions for their own benefit. So basically, there isn't honesty and there isn't accountability for one's actions.

    In Devil Wears Prada, Meryl Streep points out to her assistant that she had to step on some people to get to where she was. Is this really the truth about business? Economically, we talk a lot about how we do things to ensure that everyone receives value in what they invest in. Ideally, business should be about fair exchange.

    I do believe that it is possible to do business honestly. The question is when do you know where the line is between honest and dishonest "business-doing"?

    There have been several situations involving Enron, Apple, and other companies where issues that initially seem very small become huge issues of miscommunication, mismanagement or what have you.

    One of the books that I read on communications emphasized that all members of an organization maintain open and honest communication with each other. In one situation, two partners in a business had such bad relations with each other that it was ruining the company. The consultant comes in and improves their business relationship and the company is saved.

    Sounds ideal, right? The truth is that it is not so easy to do, it takes time, and the truth is that miscommunications happen very easily even with all good intentions involved.

    These are just some initial thoughts and my hope is they will become more well-informed thoughts as I start to pay more attention to these sorts of issues.

    On Excess, Efficiency & the Environment

    It is true what Starbucks says about itself: it is not about the coffee, it is about the people. While this makes a very good business model, and it creates loyal customers and loyal employees (not to mention that Starbucks doesn't show any signs of stopping expansion), it is also a business that creates a great deal of excess and waste.

    Many companies create products that people buy because they feel it is worth it to them, but the seller usually creates wasteful by-products. Starbucks is a famous example, because of the number of paper cups it hands out every day. According to NPR in 2005, over 150 billion cups are discarded every year.

    The question that I have about Starbucks is why all the paper cups? It takes a lot of energy, limited resources, and money to create a paper cup. When I went to Montreal, Canada, I noticed that coffees are automatically served in glasses and mugs
    first before they are served in a paper cup.

    On a similar note, in regards to plastic, Ireland recently posed a tax of 15 cents per plastic bag in grocery stores. The implication behind this initiative is that people must pay a tangible cost to compensate for highly limited natural resources.

    The bottom line is: Companies, governments and organizations have to change the way they do business. We see that it is possible in other countries, so why not in the US? While many companies claim that they are "socially responsible," it seems that they should not just change the way they produce their products, but they must change the model of the company.

    Of course, organizational behavior theory teaches us that this is not so easy to do, because often times, the secret success of a business is embedded in the company culture that has developed. (Think Toyota and competitors' difficulty in imitating Toyota standards).

    Even so, many Americans live under the illusion of being rich. We are a nation of debt but contrary to economic law, we continue to spend money. We cannot continue to think that our resources are unlimited. A serious cultural change must be made. Companies need to change their approach towards business to consider the limitations of other resources besides money.

Fabric Therapy had a sale and a lot was just $3.95 per yard...I just could couldn't resist stocking my fabric stash with a half yard of these beauties....i think i bought about 120...and a 10% off total purchase may of played a little role...oh yeah, and you can't forget about the shipping, $35.00 or more equals free shipping! I figure that these gems will make nice "filler" fabric, like when you're making a quilt and you need just a few jewel tones or they'll come in handy for making stuffed dolls/animals or whatever you can think of.

A few Amy Butler, Michael Miller, Alexander Henry, Tanya Whelan (Dolce), Studio-e, Kaffe Fassett, Tina Givens, get the point!

Welcome Eddy

Eddy is Lizzy's best, but sometimes she can been jealous, since Eddy's favorite lovey is a mouse.

He even has his own carrying pocket for his reminds me of a mommy kangaroo & her baby!

Eddy can never be separated
from his lovey since there is ribbon connecting them together.

Again, i used a pattern from the Stitch magazine.

Here is what is pictured in the magazine....i know mine aren't actually the same, but that's what makes them special!

Saturday, June 12, 2010

Welcome Lizzy

I wiped this up last night and finished it this morning.

Just LOVE the flower near the ear!

I'm so proud of myself for doing something non-quilty for a change and I think you'll be seeing more non-quilty projects!

Back View

I found this pattern in the magazine, "Stitch" - Spring 2009....I'm completely addicted to Stitch, many cute patterns and ideas.

For those wondering, who did i make this for....well, absolutely no one....this is a just because project.....i think i'll put her on the my sewing table as inspiration for the future!

My Weekend Project

Here's a sneak peek of what I'm going to work on this weekend, since the kiddo's are staying Andy's parents until Sunday.

I hope it turns out okay......Sometimes I'm not good at coordinating fabrics together....don't get me wrong the materials do in fact coordinate, but is there enough contrast to them.

New Potholders and More!

She did a really great I can throw out my old ones that I bought at Wal-Mart about 8 years ago....they're lookin' pretty gnarly, so i didn't take a picture of them!

Aren't they beautiful!?!

Garage Sale Finds!

but i only really like going to on the first day of the garage, because that is when people have all the good stuff.....usually by the end of the first day and the next day items are pretty much picked over.

so these are my great finds.....

Bird Plate: $0.25
Owl Plaque: $'s actually a pair and they are book ends....i figure a nice new coat of paint and they just might look really nice.
Thread: $1.00 per cone of 3000 yards

I got some other stuff as well.....some nice glass beer mugs with handles (5 for $0.10 each) and some books for the kids, 16 books since they were only $0.25 each.

So, altogether, I spent $10.00, which is about the same price for a cone of thread at the store....I did pretty good!

I went to Super Target today to pick up some groceries and on sale Christmas stuff. As I am turning the corner in the frozen food aisle I ran into a friend that I used to work with at Super Crown books when I lived in DC, about 10 years ago. Boy was I surprised to see him! It was exciting to catch up with an old friend. Funny how life works that way!

FTL282 Happy Birthday

Here's my take on our sketch.  When I saw the lines on the sketch I kept thinking twine or embossed lines.  So I went with the embossed lines.  So the embellishing went onto the top sentiment panel.
All products used are from PaperTrey with the exception of the sequins in the middle of the flowers.

Happy Friday.
Here is this week's sketch challenge.

Here is my take on the sketch. It's quite straightforward. I used four .5 inch strips of patterned paper and completed the card with a simple birthday greeting.

Stamps: Stylish Sentiments: Birthday
Ink: Coastal Cabana
Paper: Soft Stone, Pistachio Pudding, White, Sweet Sorbet DSP

Happy Friday!

Here's this week's sketch! It's quite basic, is great for using a little bit of patterned paper and letting a larger sentiment take center stage.
Here's my card! I was in the mood for bright colours and polka dots. It's been probably almost two full months of temperatures of -20 or colder, so I was definitely seeking some bright, warm colours.

Stamps: Stylish Sentiments: Birthday
Ink: Smokey Shadow
Paper: Pure Poppy, Tempting Turquoise, White, patterned paper
Accessories, etc.: turquoise grosgrain ribbon

Picture of the Week - September 26

I wanted to try and start a tradition of capturing and posting a "picture of the week" on this blog. I want this picture to simply be a moment or emotion that I want to remember from the week. Something that made me or someone in my family feel something significant, a facial expression I don't want to forget, or an image I want to remember forever. The images don't necessarily have to be monumental, they just have to elicit emotions and memories that I don't want to forget.

The first shipment of pumpkins have arrived at our local grocery store and Luke was very eager to check them out. He refers to them as "apples", but that's what he calls any type of fruit these days!

Birth Order in Multiples

This post is being published today on 25 Hours A Day ... go check it out!

One of the most common questions I (and the children themselves) get about the triplets concerns their birth order. Who is the oldest? Who is the baby? Truthfully, they look dumbfounded when they are asked these questions because they don't know who was born first. They are really just grasping the concept of what being a "triplet" means. They understand that they all have the same birthday and that they were all in my tummy at the same time. But they also don't understand that this is uncommon or different from most other children. That about sums up all that they know. They don't see themselves as an older, middle, and younger sibling. They see themselves, collectively, as the oldest and Luke as the youngest (oh yes, they do not let him forget that he's still only two years old!).

As I've started to realize this, I have wondered whether or not this is my doing or not. I think that birth order studies are fascinating. Although I know the stereotypes for oldest, middle, and youngest children are not all-encompassing, it has been my experience that lots of people do exhibit characteristics that are consistent with their birth order. I myself am an oldest child and I feel that I exhibit many of the common oldest child traits. Dependable, controlling, rule-following, and ambitious are just a few of the characteristics I feel I have that mark me with the brand of "the oldest."

So how does that relate to a situation where multiples are involved? Sure, there is a birth order (Peyton-Sam-Adah, from oldest to youngest), but does the difference of a minute between each of their births really destine them to those assigned birth orders? In my short four years of experience, my answer is no. Although all three of the triplets have distinctly different personalities and characteristics, I would have to say that they all three seem to exhibit the traits of an oldest child. And as I thought about it some more, I think a lot of it boils down to how we have been raising them.

The triplets were our first children, so I think we treat them, collectively, how parents would treat their firstborn. We expect a lot of them. We want them to "act their age" and be responsible. We expect them to "know better", learn things quickly and follow the rules. In essence, I think WE are one of the main reasons that they all seem to act like the oldest child ... because of our expectations. Is this a good or a bad thing? I guess we'll have to wait and see. I think it's a good thing that we expect the same things (like acceptable behavior, manners, obedience, etc.) out of all three of them instead of expecting different things based on their oldest, middle, and baby birth order. I also believe that all children need variances in parenting according to their own personalities, but I do not think that we should have different expectations for each child's behavior based on these personality differences. I want all of my children to have good manners, respect adults and have empathy for others, and I know I may have to teach all of that in different ways based on their differing personalities. But that doesn't mean my expectations for each of them are different ... the difference comes in the means to get to that end.

So yes, I do think that there is a birth order that plays out in our triplets. They all tend to exhibit traits of the oldest child, albeit in varying ways. This makes me wonder if other higher order multiples' parents see birth order characteristics in their children as well. Are there birth order differences among the multiples themselves or do they tend to be like Peyton, Sam and Adah and collectively share a birth order? I'd be curious if anyone with (or without)! multiples has any opinions or observations on this subject as well.

Long live the firstborns!

  2. My siblings are triplets. They're 7 where as I am 18. There are 13 of us children. Only 6 of us living at home still my brother and I are 18. My younger brother is 16 and then the who are 7 almost 8. They know good and well who the oldest is. Olivia is the oldest by 2-4 minutes and she's really taken to acting like it. She tells her younger siblings what to do and how to do it. Abigail knows she's the baby out of the three and uses it to her advantage. She often reminds jonathan and Olivia that she's the youngest. They often do things in what they refer to as baby order which simply means Olivia gets to go first because she was born Finstead then jonathan and lastly abilgail. I think it's because they are the youngest and they see that they're
    they're special. They see my younger brother without a twin or even 2 other siblings his age. They grew up knowing their birth order. I just found out interesting how telling them who the oldest is affects their actions.

School Days

For a lot of folks today is the first day of school. Not us! We've been going strong for two weeks now. I miss the summer but we are starting to get into our routine. Below, find my photo recap of our first day back in action...

Ashton wanted a back to school party, so we started the day with party plates and napkins; cards and a tower of cheese biscuits -complete with candles to blow out.

Cayden waited for the bus with Ashton before heading back to her daycare routine.

Ashton's brand new desk in her brand new first grade classroom. She loves school.

Fall Fun

We had an action PACKED weekend. First, the Elizabeth City airshow & an accidental afternoon with the Tates.

We checked out planes

And rescue choppers

Scored some chocolate in the great candy drop. (It came from the plane that did drops over Berlin in WWII)!

Ashton got to actually take a flight.

With Isaiah

UPDATE: I forgot to mention flying lawn mowers. How could I forget that???

Then we had our traditional hayride at Morris Farms.

Carsyn didn't want to smile...she was mad!

She did cozy up to a cat's rear end though!

Sunday night we donned our superhero costumes and hit up Candy-Rama at New Community.

We ended the weekend with a quick trick-or-treat trip down the madness that is Main St. on Halloween.

Action packed and tons of fun. Thanks God for the opportunity to make memories with my family. Now if you'll excuse me, I have copious amounts of candy to consume...

Certificates for Pinyan E liquid products

Top Natural Quality Wholesale OEM Day 4 Tiramisu DIY Flavor E Liquid British Style E Juice

You can use e-liquid on all E cigarettes models.

Pinyan e liquid extracted from natural tobacco leaves, the taste is more pure flavor with larger and consistent vapor!

Successful mixing at home relies on some understanding of the basic principles.

A standard Hangsen DIY mixing kit comes with propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG) liquid. Both PG and VG can be used to dilute the strong flavor in the base liquid. VG generates more vapors, with less throat hit. PG generates more throat hit, but less vapor as it is less sticky.
The advised proportion of base liquid and diluents is 30: 70, meaning to make 1ml of mixed liquid you need to put in 0.3ml of base liquid and 0.7ml of PG/VG.
The strength would therefore depend on the proportion between PG and VG. If you prefer strong flavors you will want to decrease the proportion of diluents and increase the proportions of base liquid.

A standard Pinyan DIY mixing kit consists of essence tobacco or neutral flavor, PG, VG are both as diluent empty refillable bottles.
It creates a unique experience for mixing different flavors with flavor concentrate which comes as accessory to the Pinyan DIY kit together and makes the perfect liquid for individual users.
With over 100 types of flavorings and essences there are infinite ways of making a bottle of liquid.
Simply change the proportion of the base fluid, PG and VG and users will experience different strength, smoothness and taste.

Pinyan's DIY liquid is made of the best ingredients in the world.
Every drop is tasty, smooth and vaporized well. With Piyan DIY liquid kit imagination is the only boundary in e-smoking.

Pinyan standard DIY kit included:
A bottle of 0mg HS base fluid
A bottle of 36mg PG liquid
A bottle of 0mg VG liquid
Two empty bottles for refilling

Better late than not at all

I guess since it's after midnight I actually missed a day of posting. My apologies to my biggest fan Andrew (and anyone else that may have been disappointed going all day without reading about my boring life.) I got up sometime before 8 this morning and was headed to Hereford before 9:00. I keep getting myself in deeper with this painting crap. (Sorry... it's just taking longer than expected.) Although I got the Kilz paint that is guaranteed one coat coverage over any existing color, it doesn't seem to cover maple colored paneling very well. I painted the non-paneled wall (chalkboard wall) yellow but had to do a lot of brush painting because there were lots of small spaces between computer wiring that couldn't be painted with the roller. I also had to patch another area on a different part of the wall and I had to leave by 2:30 to get back home in time to shower before heading to Lubbock. I left closer to 2:45 but took a quick shower, got dressed and we were out the door by 4:00. I had to pick up some cash and get gas and then Josh drove to Lubbock while I read my book. We had dinner at Chili's and then went to the stadium.

We found our seats which were pretty good. 50 yard line fairly high up with a good view of the field except for the very tall/large gentleman in front of me. The first half of the show was pretty decent and we saw some good corps. We had an intermission and then the weather took a turn for the worse. The first corps after the intermission started their show but it was interrupted halfway through because a storm was coming in. We exited the stands to go to the covered area below and wait it out. We waited for about 45 minutes and the rain didn't show any sign of letting up. Finally they canceled the rest of the show. We were very disappointed. We didn't get to see the top corps that Josh and I really wanted to watch. We were out the $23 each for the tickets, plus the cost of gas. We stuck around a bit longer to let the crowd thin and the weather let up some before we headed back. I got to see a friend of mine from college and visit with him and his wife for a bit. We left around 10:45 and got in shortly before 12:30. Now I'm tired and I'm going to head to bed. I don't know what time I'm going to Hereford tomorrow, but I'm going to finish come hell or high water. (Ooops I shouldn't say things like that.)

Busy, busy, busy

Having a social life is keeping me very busy.  Monday was band rehearsal.  Last night I went to the board meeting and then made pizza at Matthew’s place for dinner.  I stayed there until 10:00.  We had a wonderful time together and keep learning more and more about each other.  We are having discussions about relationships, sex, wants, needs, fears, dreams, and the mundane stuff about our days.  I think things are going well and I fall for him more each time I see him.  We are going to the game in Midland on Friday.  We have an early out and we’ll leave a little after 1:00.  The game is at 7:30 and then we’ll stay the night in Midland or somewhere close so we don’t have to drive back so late.  Saturday night we are going to the symphony.  Sunday I will need to play catch up on everything.  Then next week we only have school for two days and then it is Thanksgiving break.  Matthew has decided to go with me to Albuquerque for Thanksgiving.  We’ll head down late Wednesday and then come back on Friday.  Saturday he will either go to the Tech game or we will go to the playoff game if our team wins this weekend.

Today I left school a few minutes early and went to have my oil changed and tires rotated.  I then dropped some picture orders off at our photography company’s place.  I picked up Taco Villa for dinner and now I’m debating whether to grade papers or get ahead on homework.  Or maybe I’ll do something frivolous like watch t.v.

The Awesome Chattooga River

The Awesome Chattooga River

Just now getting these posted from a hike we went on along the Chattooga River in the Spring. This area is a favorite and the views never fail to surprise. When we arrived at Bull Sluice this spring, kayakers had just gone through. We saw them at the top of the hill resting in a parking lot. Later a Boy Scout leader told us that one had almost lost her life. She got caught in a white water turbine in the middle of the rapid and could not get out. The Chattooga is a dangerous but exciting river.

Below Bull Sluice the water becomes a swift moving river.

The river changes all the time. When we were there, there was a pool above the Sluice which was clear as glass and looked like you could easily wade out into the water but we never do! It’s way to dangerous!

Anne looks up stream. The area is so wild and natural.

And relaxing. You could just drop back and enjoy the view!
