Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grants are a great way to obtain research and development dollars for a small business. Once a small business has decided that the Federal SBIR funding mechanism is right for the organization, the small business must complete a step-by-step registration process before submitting an application. The sequence of the steps is critical to ensuring a smooth application process. http://www.visualshare.com/trish_talk/2008/03/small-business-innovative-research-grants-sbir-is.html http://www.visualshare.com/trish_talk/2008/03/small-business-innovative-research-grants-sbir-is.html Building a Small Business Fri, 07 Mar 2008 18:53:30 -0700 The Utah Women's Technology Council - Inaugural Luncheon Utah Women’s Technology Council convened to launch the first meeting and luncheon at the Miller Free Enterprise Center.

Okay, there are times when someone tells me something and I read into it what fits or what I want to hear at the time. Then there are other times, believe it or not, that I am really listening and I take in every word at face value. Those very special times when I am really paying attention and I don't read anything into what is being said, then later discover that I misunderstood what was said...well...that is baffling.

My main concern is that the since my blog is directly linked to my company are the entries that I create and write can have a positive or negative impact on the company image? Since I have put so much energy and time into building a small business the image of the company means more to me and I the last thing I would want is to tarnish that image by not projecting a more professional tone of voice. http://www.visualshare.com/trish_talk/2007/02/changing-the-voice-is-more-like-a-changing-of-the.html http://www.visualshare.com/trish_talk/2007/02/changing-the-voice-is-more-like-a-changing-of-the.html Personal Professional Wed, 14 Feb 2007 18:57:46 -0700 Building a Statewide Program for Child Abuse Medical Assessment In January 2007 VisualShare was had the pleasure of an onsite visit from two individuals, Amanda Peterson and Deborah Pullin from the New Hampshire Network of Child Advocacy Centers (NHNCAC).

Pea Pod) Harriet, Trish's dog

Let me introduce you to Harriett, a.k.a. Pea Pod. Her other aliases, of which I use randomly and often, are stinky rat or just plain old stink, BeBop, Teapot, little mutt, Larriett and Marriett.

Harriett is an 8 year old female Jack Russell terrier. Like most Jack Russell terriers, Harriett has an endless supply of energy and thinks that she is about the size of a labrador retriever or larger. I have witnessed her ability to quickly subdue two Weimarers into complete submission, herd them off of her property and then turn around with that "look who is in charge now" expression. That energy/tenacity combination also allows her to jump 3 or 4 feet in the air to chase down an inflated balloon (looks like a ball) for as long as it takes to get it. This activity can go on for hours until she drops from sheer exhaustion. Tenacity is a descriptive term that applies directly to Harriett and, I am discovering, the entire breed.
