Synergy En Vogue:

The idea stems from “attitudes” in the work place… the mystical phenomena of super-success…

Why do some companies fail and others succeed?

How does attitude play with synergy and the New Math?

Stay tuned as I’m still getting inspired… just wanted to punch in a little bit about this concept of 1 + 1 = 3 and how to duplicate this in our lives purposefully.

I suppose I made myself look a-fool when I was in court in Ogden Wednesday. When one of ten people in the room is on your side, it’s really tough to keep calm and collected.

My greatest consideration about what happened is that I hope to continue on my path and not be dissuaded from my original position.

What I don’t understand is how an individual can claim they are fearful of another individual, when that person being “feared” has work relentlessly for the “common” cause.

It doesn’t make sense with my vagueness here, but I hope to fill you in on the missing pieces as I begin the “Manifesto”.

This declaration of principle and practices is an attempt to achieve clarity if not unity.

“Passion Optimism and seeking to be Empathetic”

A viral “trifecta” of Pigs, Birds and Humans have led to the “PANDEMIC” of something called “Swine-Flu”.

Similar to a mash-up of Peter and the Wolf and Chicken Little , with such a reaction to the FLU… people are unlikely to believe it the next time “the Sky really is falling.”

I think I’ll try again but not for awhile.

The founding of Ryan William McEuen foundation is the brain child of its’ namesake.

McEuen is a name related to Warner Brothers pictures such as The Jerk and 40 year old group, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. The nephew and son of William E and John McEuen is a visionary with one of his goals to put instruments in the hands of children.

As part of this foundation, two instruments have recently been placed into the hands of interested students with the common passion and desire to learn and love music.

These two individuals represent the primary focus of the foundation, including the most important of all : Private funding in Public school for music programs.

With a Peavey Bass Guitar and Yamaha Tenor Saxaphone the list begins as the RWMF community outreach comes to the Neighborhoods of Salt Lake City and Murray, Utah.

“And in refusing to allow a “good crisis” to go to waste, the strategic move to remake Amerika anew has begun.”

Kevin  MuCullough, Townhall.com “Why Obama Wants America to Fail”

Reading some comments in the section of Townhall.com relating to the Obama stimulous package, one comment considers the American people slaves that will obey nomatter the neglect they recieve. In this ongoing battle for human rights, it is the first time in 200 years that “We the People” have considered the nomination of an African-American president.

As a resident of Utah, I make a point to note that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints once did not allow African-Americans as members.  I mention this point to emphasize that the presidential frat had yet to name an African-American member (in the representation of We The People)… and that it took time for “Social” Values to change.

Social Values are a subject that has a difference from the Moral Values often put to a Social agenda.  The difference between Social and Moral values is that while both are individual justified, the integrity of the Moral Value lies in the responsibility of a directive to act accordingly versus a Social justification which relies on the ownership of only ones self to justify their action.

Here is the cartoon example of what I mean.  Lucy is open for therapy.  Yet, is her brain open for a theraputic conversation?  She is not digging below the surface level.

Like an elementary school aged crush in which your love is expressed by kicking the object of your affections’ shin and running away.

Does this make sense to you?

We have to work at developing the qualilty relationships as we grow older.

It takes work to integrate a melting pot of social and moral value in which individuals place their acountability for their actions.

CAN WE BE FORGIVE?

Once I heard that in some instances you can be forgiven  yet not excused.

One example of this is when you decline the invitation enough times, eventually you will stop getting the invite.

When we make segregation’s of our “Moral Agenda’s” and fight over Human Rights we forget to talk about Social Rights.

Social Rights include Racism, Sexism and Homophobia.  We are talking about ones right to be judged by Character rather than Ability, Color, Creed, Gender, Race, Religion or Sexual orientation.  Pedophiles, Rapists, Domestic abusers including unmarried couples are what instill the greatest fear of any consideration of Sexual Deviancy.

When talking Racist, we open ourselves up to other types of  judgment like sexism and other types of discrimination directed towards individuals.

When you imply the profanity, it’s just as bad as saying the four letter word itself.

Calling someone a slave in this country implies African-American human beings.

In the fight for Civil and Human Rights there is another fight, for the Social Right.

Social right is to judge someone by character, by action, to love with condition not for colors but for work ethic.

I say the path to destruction comes long before the charge for demolition is set.

When an antiquated structure goes upside down it’s cost for maintenance compared to implied value, the building will be taken down.

The land holders don’t mind the death of a vibrant shopping district when it’s easier than paying large property taxes.

It’s a buyers market and the sheep are stripping their foreclosed homes of everything from the copper wiring to the kitchen sink.

In the next epoch the poles are predicted to shift.  Is it the end of slavery after all?  Have civil rights succeeded to social right?

When we stop considering that it’s even possible to have slaves, we will stop having slaves.

As long as we compare people to slaves, we are acknowledging 1) helplessness = unaccountabilty , 2) our desire to have power over others = competition.

When we call people stupid, we face a third ugly reflection of ourselves in the mirror, that we don’t even want to see.

I refuse to bury my head in the sand and pretend like we are not so ignorant as to believe we are not still wanting to whip people to submission.

Kevin, nice try at ebonics, but it’s not just a change in letter we need it’s an attitude called, “Optimism”.

Let us not forget that things do not happen TO YOU, they merely happen.  It’s up to us to affect the glorious futures of our children.  Don’t let “occurrence”  effect your positivity, because each little “letter” makes all the difference. (APATHY: DEFIANCE as  SEGREGATION:INTEGRATION)

[ Recycling program:

Pioneer glass recycler finds success in Village III

Village III's glass recycling  program, which has been in operation since last May, is a huge success, thanks  mainly to the  vigorous work and oversight of a 24-year-old Salt Lake City woman who is pioneering the effort in Utah.

Kate Cook, a 2002 graduate of Cottonwood High School, was contacted by board member Mary Buchanan last spring, and with the blessing of the Management Committee, has been picking up glass bottles at a recycling bin located next to the maintenance shed.

Kate says Village III is on the cutting edge of glass recycling and is among the pioneers in this field in Utah.

Setting the example

"Village III is like a little community, and if we can successfully recycle glass here, it can be recycled anywhere," says the enthusiastic young woman as she collects a large sampling of glass bottles from the collection bin.  "Our goal is to eventually make this into a money-making venture, but right now we're just trying to spread the word, make people aware of the importance of recycling glass and then go on from there."

So far, the larger cities have not incorporated glass in their recycling programs but Kate is confident that will eventually catch on and everyone will want to get involved.

She picks up glass bottles from Village III's bins weekly, separates the glass into clear, brown and green categories and drops them off at either Allied Waste or BFI collection points.

Innovative uses lie ahead

She admits the future uses of the recycled glass are still a little up in the air, except for limited applications in specialized arts and crafts, fiberglass insulations and the home-brewing industry.

"The important thing is to take the first step in collecting and separating the glass," she adds.  "Then we can proceed to finding innovative ways of using this cycled glass in production processes."

Cook's main thrust is to keep bottles from ending up in landfills, so they can be utilized without the loss of a valuable and renewable resource.

Recycling beer bottles

Cook says some bottles, mostly those which once contained certain European beers, can be sold to the home-brewing industry which requires non-screw-cap bottles in their bottling processes.

"Your condo complex has been awesome in this program," she adds.  "We want to find more like you so the idea can continue to spread."

Cook, along with her partner, music promoter Ryan McEuen, have a website on the internet at myspace.com/rwmcycle, and in a recent blog singled out Village III for its success in recycling glass:

"Thanks to the Village III condominiums in Murray, the glass recycling programs in the Salt Lake Valley are getting small but significant recognition.  The residents of Village III have taken the time to seperate their glass from the rest of their waste.  By promoting this cause we will join the efforts of other waste management systems such as Allied Waste and BFI to sort glass items from what would go to a landfill."

Holds down part-time job

Cook devotes most of her time to the recycling program but holds down a part-time job as a floor manager for KUED television, helping in the makeup department and with special programs like the governor's monthly news conference.

She has attended the University of Utah but says her education is on a temporary hold while she explores the opportunity of the recycling program.

"I love to work one-on-one with people," she says, "and it's been a special treat helping Village III learn the importance of recycling glass."

Keep up the good work, residents of Village III.  And keep those glass bottles coming.  Who knows, maybe we will be setting the example for the rest of Salt Lake County and possibly even the entire state of Utah.
