Sometimes we say thing we shouldn’t say!

How’s that for an opening statement?
How many times have we said something without thinking about what we have said and next thing you know . . . Foot in Mouth Disease! All because we didn't think before we spoke. How often have you thought -

Well, it seems that everyone and their grandmother is doing predictions. PacTec is not really a prediction kind of company. We are more of a forecast. These two words, may sound like the same thing, but they are not. Check it:

Canaries Sound the Alarm

Have you seen the movie Coal Miner’s Daughter? Yeah, it chronicles the life of country music legend Loretta Lynne, but I wanted to look at one specific part of that movie. It was the coal mining scenes at the beginning, and the use of a canary in a bird cage. Miners through the ages have used canaries when mining for coal to make them aware of gas leaks, which lead to possible explosion.

No Gas Sweetener

It’s been well known, and noted, that dangers of methane gas in coal mining has existed for years in the greater US, Canada, and in other countries such as Australia. This methane, has been called by many names, some of which are “sweet gas”, because of its lack of hydrogen sulfide, or Coal Seam Gas (CSG). In its initial location it is in a near-liquid state inside the pores of the coal, called the “matrix, as well as in the open fractures in the coal, known as “cleats”.

Leave a Message at the Beep

I recently decided to leave a message on my voicemail after continued obnoxious pollster calls!

This is a guest blog from Craig Attuso, our Marketing Coordinator at PacTec. Thanks Craig!

Let Her Blow, or not . . .

To my dismay, my parents assured me that I was no Richard Dreyfuss, and wouldn’t allow me to fill my room with mud and branches, so . . . paper mache it was!

American journalist, Norman Cousins once wrote:

“Government in the U.S. today is a senior partner in every business in the country.”

Ole Norman has a point! By now you have either read, or experienced, the EPA's process of regulation on waste streams, or process by-products. In discussions, we have heard the pros and cons, but our focus with this this post is to start a REAL conversation - a conversation on how these EPA standards are affecting you and your business! How has your bottom-line been affected by existing, new, or coming regulations?

PacTec would like to take this opportunity to echo the words of Winston Churchhill when he said:

Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by istlef but the wrod as a wlohe.
Johnathan Powell as quoted in “Readers Digest” November 2004 p 146

Perception is a crazy thing.

Our human nature is to look at one thing as . . . one thing, and not perceive it having any other meaning than what we see. If you watched the recent movie “Inception”  you experienced the theme of perception weaved throughout the story line. Were the characters really in a dream, or did they perceive reality . . . as reality?
