We have been completely impressed by Winkle Electric Company as the full service electrical supplier that they claim to be. Not only do they keep up to date with new products such as Philips LED lamps, the Allen Bradley Virtual Support Engineer, and Panduit Small Diameter Patch Cords, but they are also capable of fulfilling large cable orders. It seems that should be impressive enough but they don't stop there. Winkle Electric Company can also repair AC/DC Drives, Programmable Logic Controllers, Robotic Controllers, and Distributive Control Systems.
The company consists of five divisions: Electrical Supply, High Tech Automation, Integrated Services, Eco Solutions, and Custom Controls. Winkle Electric Company Inc. is committed to their customer's success by maintaining the highest quality standards.

It's Not a Fad, It's a Lifestyle
My oven blew up over the weekend. My
head was in the refrigerator so I can't give you details. BOOF! The
oven no longer works.
Since I love cookies I started to
search for a new oven. I'll admit it, I was more concerned about the
price than anything else. Good news, though. The first oven I found
that met all of my requirements came from GE and is assembled in the
United States!
Everyone at Georgianna Hardware is
pleased to find that we are no longer alone in buying American made
products. We never wanted to reinstate isolationism, we just wanted
our friends to be able to put food on their tables. Now, there is a
preference among Americans to buy goods that are manufactured in the United
States.
It is nice to see national news reports
that say Made in USA is making a comeback. It is also refreshing to
know that we can all have an occasional break from the intense
research that is sometimes necessary to verify that a product is made
in the USA because Americans only need to buy one percent of USA made
products to secure 250,000 jobs.
The whole thing can get to be
confusing, but it can be explained. If the label reads, “produced”,
“product of”, “manufactured”, or “made” in the USA or
America, that product is made onshore. No need to worry about anything else because we have the Federal Trade Commission to keep the manufactures honest.
For us, buying American made is not a
fad, it's a lifestyle.

Believe in History
I believe that we are all in the process of making history. Each of us that are pushing for the betterment of America are doing something important that will be remembered for a long time. Once again I turned to history to help me put things into proper perspective and I found an interesting publication, Technology and the Human Dimension.
The publication is a transcript of an interview conducted by Hal Bowser with Dr. Elting E. Morison of MIT. The comments made by Dr. Morison during the interview offer the reader a new perspective on science, sociology, and technology. I think you will find it's worth taking the time to read.
Elting Morison died in 1995 but there are many people working at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation that are doing important things and in the process of making history.

Wellness in the Workplace
Recently there have been a
number of news articles that specify the importance of wellness in
the workplace. This is not necessarily news. It has been 26 years
since workplace violence occurred at a post office in Edmond, OK and
though records are difficult to find there were many incidents prior
to that. Sadly, this problem has overflowed to another generation.
This morning we arrived at
work after a weekend of trying to put a number of thoughts into
proper perspective. It was a matter of being thankful to be able to
return to our routine and place ourselves in what we considered a
normal day.
Of course, our conversation
centered around Newtown, CT and it involved more questions than
answers. We all agree that a solution needs to be found to keep our
society from living in fear. Our thoughts? The children can be our
teachers. Ask questions and listen attentively to the answers. It
lets people know that you care.

Made in America Movement
America is absolutely
amazing. Apple made an announcement that they were bringing some of
their production back to America. This made the headlines, but we were curious. We wondered if we are still in the minority
of people that look for products that are made in the United States
of America. Come to find out, we're not the only people that believe
in America.
The
Reshoring Initiative teaches us that companies benefit from
reshoring as offshore sourcing faces higher costs in transportation
and fuel, as well as increasing wages. We invite you to visit our
December Notables
December 2012 Notables
page to learn more about reshorenow.org.
There is a whole new trend coming along called "Reshoring" although some refer to it as "backsourcing" or "onshoring". Either way the efforts support businesses bringing jobs back to the U.S. from overseas. Companies such as Janssen Boas are happy to help other businesses bring products back to the United States and organizations like reMakeIn still believe that neighbors and local communities can help one another.
America is amazing! For many of us America is the country that owed us nothing but gave us everything. It seems we're realizing that it is time for us to give back.

December Notables
Our December Notables page is up and running!
Though the first item we listed on our page was certainly not one we were looking into, we found a bargain on the Samsung Series 7 Gamer 17.3 Inch (Yellow) Laptop. Yellow? Well, we found different opinions about the color and it turns out we've decided we'd be okay with saving twenty percent and adjust to not having the same model in black.
Visit our December 2012 Notables page to see what we found!
