Moved Here

Written by Sherri Hicks

We moved here a few months ago and I need to look into Portland home security systems. I think our neighborhood is safe enough but my husband is constantly working late and sometimes even travelling for work and the last thing I want is to feel unsafe in my own home. I think I’m just not used to being here by myself all the time but for now I need to worry about getting this place all settled and not so much about whether or not I’m going to be alone at night. I’ve got the dog which helps a lot and I know that my neighbors are always around if I really do need anything but it’s hard being marriedand wondering why I’m spending so much time alone. I know we moved here for my husband to take this great new job but for me it’s less about whether or not the mail has been sent or the milk is bad than whether or not I’m safe in my own home, you know?

New laptops for 2012

admin92 — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:56:25 +0000

With the latest Consumer Electronics Show just wrapping up many of the new tech toys showcased were tablets and laptops. The newer laptops are now becoming thinner and offering an extended battery life. This is in part to compete with the tablets that are eroding the PC and laptop market. With the newer, faster and more energy efficient processors laptops are able to become thinner and offer more speed without draining the battery. You will see more new laptops introduced throughout the summer as the competition heats up.

Manufacturing In Mexico

admin92 — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 18:03:21 +0000

We all know the growing production of goods that come from China. There are even political conversations that are taking place in the Presidential debate about our trade deficit to China and what that means to our current and future economy. What many Americans are now aware of is our great trade relations with our neighboring countries like Mexico and Canada. Manufacturing in Mexico has started to see some growth thanks to the growing skilled workforce and the reduction in costs of parts that companies that can use for those items produced in Mexico. What is uncertain to many businesses is how to manage the environment in Mexico to make sure that all your HR, payroll, and manufacturing practices are within compliance.
That is where companies like Entrada Group come into play. They work with and supply services to Manufacturers In Mexico that can then be shared across multiple structures allowing businesses as small as 50-100 employees compete in this market. The Entrada Group basically helps to supply shared services for companies that wish to manufacture in Mexico do so with a reduction in overhead. They can provide shared services like HR, payroll, IT services, trade, and shipping to help your company get in the game faster and have less to worry about. Now that Mexico Manufacturing is a viable option with more and more companies looking to reduce their reliance on China having partners like Entrada Group can only help your bottom line.

Gearing up for 2012 trade shows

admin92 — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 04:39:22 +0000

With this years trade shows and all the new entertainment and electronic gadgets it is not wonder that these companies need to break through the noise and get noticed at the various trade shows. Many companies are using interactive displays with a customized Trade Show Displays to help them engage the consumer and provide a more hands on approach to some of the new technology that is available while keeping their brand and products front a and center. As the Spring season approaches and more customers are looking to see where they will spend their money having that experience at trade shows and then later in the retail store will help them make their decision.
While we were in San Francisco for another meeting this year, which just happen to be the week that Mac was holding one of their annual conferences. The trade show was especially interesting seeing all the different partners and what they were offering for the new AirMac, and iPad. The trade show booths were quite impressive and as you would expect very technology driven. There were Vinyl Banners of some of the high profile people who use and talk about the technology to get people in the booths. Many of them had consumer interactive components that allowed the customer to get involved with the booth rather than just seeing information. This was a great experience as we got to view the upcoming technology that will be launched to the general public within the next few months. The 2012 trade shows will surely impress with more focus on the latest technology in 3D and it’s place in gaming and possibly tablets.

Poster printing for big or small projects

admin92 — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 16:39:51 +0000

This year I made an investment in a wireless printer that was probably one of the best investments that I have made when upgrading one of my computing components. It was designed to do small business work along with some poster printing capabilities. With the multi print cartridges we wanted to look for one that had inkjet cartridges that would not cost a fortune. I have set up our wireless network with the latest wireless-N router and the access points and speed that we saw when upgraded was very impressive. We have two laptops and three other PC’s throughout the house that our entire family can use to access the internet and surf, check out facebook, or play games. What I found is that there many times when my kids or wife wanted to be able to print something out and this caused a great deal of aggravation. I also checked out the ability for poster printing at our small business and the costs can be quite substantial. Since we only had one computer that was hooked up to the printer our options were to save the file to a memory stick, or physically hook up the laptop or PC to the printer.
The one that we purchased also had the faxing and scanning features which were great additions. Plus it had three separate printer ink cartridges to help the overall cost. The scanning feature allows you to scan any image to any computer that is connected to the network. Plus the fact that this wireless printer was so easy to install we just followed the instructions that came with it and had all 5 computers hooked and printing within 30 minutes total. Now my kids can do their homework from the dining table together and if there is any research that they need done they can simply print it off without the hassle. We have even given limited access to neighbors so that if they need something printed in color they can just send it on over. The security on our device is very impressive and the quality is just as good as any other ink jet printer.

Using vinyl banners to promote your business and brand

admin92 — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 01:31:52 +0000

If you walk through any consumer or business trade show you will more than likely come out with a bag stuffed with promotional trade show items like marketing pens that help companies keep their name in front of the customer. These companies usually have large vinyl banners that are aimed at attracting customers to your booth and getting you in front of your customers. I have always wondered how many stress balls, golf balls and tubes of chapstick one could use in a lifetime. As companies are looking for ways to get in front of their customers or continue to create brand awareness attending and being present at regional and national trade shows can provide a great avenue to interact with your customers.

If you are going to use vinyl banners in your trade show booth you want to make sure that the color and theme match with your overall branding and imaging. The one key to a successful marketing trade show is name recall. It is also important that in the banner and imaging you use you have the brand or product you are trying to promote. I have seen numerous companies just have their company name and no link to what they actually make. This is a huge missed opportunity. The other great thing about using vinyl banner is that they are more durable and can be ordered and created in a short time frame for those rush projects. Choose your marketing and advertising methods carefully because you may only have one chance to gain the attention of new customers and you want to have the best image possible.

Casio and Anne Klein Watches: Popular for Different Reasons

admin92 — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 13:32:28 +0000

When purchasing a watch, you want to find something that will satisfy your needs, and work well with your wardrobe, because watches today can do much more than just tell the time. Two leading watch companies are Anne Klein watches and Casio watches.

Anne Klein watches are produced for women only, and are the epitome of feminine elegance and classic timelessness. They can go well with many different styles of apparel for women, and they are extremely well priced for brand name watches. Anne Klein watches also come in many different styles, with funky bright colors and more subdued natural tones. Many of the watches are also lent an element of interest with contrast colors, Swarovski crystals, mother of pearl faces, and different styles in bands. Virtually any women can find the watch that speaks to her from among the large selection of Anne Klein watches.

Casio watches are the antithesis of Anne Klein. They were originally meant to be purely functional. Today, Casio watches also have an element of style, but their claim to fame is their extensive array of technological features. Even the most basic Casio watches feature LED lights, alarm clocks, stopwatches, and other special effects. The watches come in an array of collections, each catering to a specific lifestyle. They may boast tide graphs, barometers, and much more. Casio is the king in technologically advanced timepieces.

Couch Oil And Gas

Couch Oil And Gas. Twenty years ago we developed highly accurate finding tools for natural gas. Ten years ago we begin assembling technologies to find oil as it became the commodity of choice. In the last year we have gone from 8 to 14 magnetic imaging technologies that portrayed almost 100% pin point oil drilling accuracy in the last six wells. We have increased our geology competence with the imaging technology and hit almost in the center (or within a few feet) of each and every channel of oil we are seeking.

Whats new in maternity clothing

admin92 — Wed, 18 May 2011 03:31:31 +0000

I was watching the Shark Tank last week and they had a lady on who was trying to gain investment in her maternity clothing line of t-shirts. It was a creative idea where the month the baby was due was printed on the front of the shirt. Since this is a common question that women get when they are pregnant it made a lot of sense. The only problem that she had is that there was not patent on the idea or exclusive rights to the design and names that she had produced so anyone could come along and simply copy the idea. Needless to say the sharks declined to invest due to the nature of the ruthless retail business and there was no upside to pouring money into her company.

Are you ready for your wedding

admin92 — Thu, 05 May 2011 02:46:47 +0000

I don’t like attending weddings in general. It is a lot better when you can be a wedding guest and don’t actually have to take a role in the wedding process. With all the choices the bride has like choosing among numerous wedding dresses to what kind of music will be played. One of the things I do look forward to is the wedding music and wedding songs. I find it interesting to see how different couples pick certain songs to be played or sung at their weddings. If I had a voice people wanted to listen to, I wouldn’t mind being a wedding singer. I love it when they have karaoke machines at the wedding for the guests to show their stuff. It seems like easy work and work that would pay good for singing 1 or 2 songs. I have some really good memories of weddings, where a special person was invited to sing a popular love song. Some people really have the talent to sing these songs and they can run chills up your spine; when you hear them sing a wedding song.

Road side assistance club

admin92 — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 02:29:43 +0000

If your car breaks down; while you’re driving it, I hope you can make it to the side of the roadway. It’s no fun to be stuck in the middle of the road and waiting for roadside assistance to arrive. Your first good luck, you can have during a car breakdown, is by getting your car to the side of the road. I know after that, you hope help will arrive soon, so you can get your car out of there. If your car needs major repairs, you might just have to rely on a towing company for assistance. You can join a roadside assistance club to help in the event of a break down. I know this isn’t any fun, but often we don’t have a choice in the matter. Even if we keep our cars in tip top shape and do all the things we are suppose to do, it can still breakdown on the road with us. I don’t like any car problems, but the ones where your car just won’t crank at home, is probably the best case scenario for a car breakdown.

stand out at your trade show

admin92 — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 03:25:52 +0000

The use of vinyl bannersis more common in smaller shows as most advertisers are using electric medium.
Last year there was a company that was doing engraved trade show displays and you would have thought that they were giving away $100 bills. It is amazing to see what people will stand in line for these days. You must always keep your name in front of the customer and make sure that your marketing message is consistent across all channels in order to maximize brand awareness. There are even companies that are branching out from the everyday pens to footwear. There are some companies that make customize flip flops and slippers for customers as promotional items. This is something that I have not seen but sounds like a great marketing idea for some companies this year at the upcoming trade shows.

Personalized welcome mats

admin92 — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 01:06:07 +0000

In buying a new home there are some great tips that can save you some time and hassle. First you will want to find out about the builder and uncover if there have been any problems. Check with the local Better Business Bureau, neighbors already in the development, and online. If this is new construction, take a look at some of the home being built and you can see the quality of materials that are being used and what type of plumbing and insulation they use. Location is another key factor, not only when you move in, but when you are ready to sell the home. You can even look at some of the personalized welcome mats to make that new home more personable. Are there any new high end homes being built nearby, or are there plans for a strip mall to be developed. If you have kids, the school district is key to research for their education.

Green shopping

admin92 — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 16:18:26 +0000

We were just reading about the term green shopping and how it applies to those that shop online. The idea makes good sense if you think about the amount gas and carbon emissions that you save by shopping online and not making multiple trips to the store. What is also a big part of the green shopping movement is buying products that are being made in a environmentally friendly way. Many electronic makers are now starting to use wind powered plants to help produce some of their products to help reduce their carbon footprint while making greener products. The whole concept is catching on and if we all do our part then maybe we can actually slow down the impact we are having on our environment.

A good pair of binoculars

admin92 — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 22:13:30 +0000

If you like to watch the birds when you go outside or make trips on your nature trails, be sure you carry a good pair of ncstar binoculars. This will bring in all the live action of nature right to your eyes. It will be as if you were right there by the birds or any other animals you might see out in the wild; when you’re actually hundreds of feet away. Another way to bring the birds closer to you is by getting a bird feeder. If you have something that will interest the birds like food, you can be sure they will find it. It seems like birds are like bloodhounds when it comes to food and their keen eyesight helps them to locate food from very far away.

As with any exercise plan you should always consult with your physician to make sure that their are no health issues that you should be aware of.

Do not rely on these pills as the sole means by which to lose weight but as a supplement to help you achieve your goals.

Singing karaoke at your wedding

admin92 — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 00:04:38 +0000

Having a karaoke machines is a great for your guests. I’m not sure which songs I would like sung at my wedding (if I ever have one), but I’m sure my future wife will have a lot of say in the songs that get sung or played at my wedding.
