What is the best global marketing strategy for a sourcing company located in China? A Case Study of BIK International
The purpose of the thesis is to find out what is the best global marketing strategy for a China based sourcing company focusing on the best strategy option for a particular company, BIK International. The goal of this research is to contribute to the potential view of the owners and managers of BIK International on possible routes and ensure that the decision makers have relevant information on hand to make important decisions for the future of the company. The analysis is based on in-depth-interviews with BIK's managers and information received from the company and the Internet. Various analyzing tools are used in this case study. The analysis shows that BIK has many options but in this thesis it is highly recommended that BIK use its strengths to focus on targeting small and medium sized retailers, offering clear product range in furniture and home accessories. It is furthermore recommended that hierarchical mode will be selected with sales representatives in each country to be targeted. Countries expected to grow fast in consumption in the near future, such as China, should also be seriously considered as an option. There is increasing number of western resource companies defining themselves as a bridge in both directions between West and East. In that way the owner of BIK International, LDH BV, could get its share of the fast growing Chinese market. In terms of value, the importance of this research is mainly for the owners and managers of BIK. It could as whole or specific parts, all the same, be useful to other sourcing companies located in China and enhance their knowledge.

For a second week, Israel continued its artillery and air attacks on villages controlled by Shi'ite Hizballah guerrillas in southern Lebanon. So far, 24 people have been killed and 59 wounded. Fighting began after guerrillas attacked Israel's "security zone" inside the Lebanese border. Arab assailants meanwhile stabbed two Israelis to death, a 15-year-old schoolgirl near Tel Aviv and a rabbi in the Gaza Strip. Both murders sparked anti-Arab riots by Israelis. Defense Minister Moshe Arens ordered the Strip sealed off, restricting 700,000 Palestinians to the area.

Chiang Rai
Guesthouses, hotels and resorts
Chiang Rai
Chiang Rai is a small town, with many of the guesthouses close to the centre or near the river. The main backpacker quarter is at the northern end of town near the Mae Kok River, though to the west of town lie a couple of other options. Modern business-style hotels are scattered throughout town while the luxury digs are on the outskirts. A hot shower is really worth the extra money even if you're on a tight budget, as Chiang Rai can get very cool in the evening.

PainPain with the tongue can be associated with anemia, canker sores (aphthous ulcers), oral herpes, neuralgia, cancer, poorly fitting dentures, or irritation from dental work. Canker sores are commonly found on the tongue and can be very painful. They appear as a yellow-white center with a red halo. These ulcerations are thought to be caused by local injury, stress, or genetic predisposition; however, no definitive cause has been found. No treatment is usually necessary as these ulcerations generally resolve in less than two weeks. Oral herpes is caused by the herpes virus and appears as fluid-filled lesions. These lesions usually resolve in two weeks' time, but oral herpes can also be treated with antiviral medications to shorten the duration of symptoms. "Burning mouth syndrome" is a phenomenon that often includes the tongue (often called "burning tongue"). It has been associated with other conditions that include menopause, anxiety, depression, acid reflux, nutritional deficiencies, and mouth conditions such as dry mouth or oral thrush. Treatment is usually for the underlying condition (for example antifungals for oral thrush, supplement for nutrition deficiencies, or medications to treat anxiety or depression).

Many states are offering educators training to handle guns
Several U.S. states are considering allowing school teachers to carry weapons, and educators, determined not to allow a repeat of the Newtown massacre, are flocking to training sessions.
As gun control advocates try to outlaw military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, gun enthusiasts, backed by the powerful National Rifle Association (NRA), are taking a very different approach.
The gun lobby argues that there is no way to stop crazy or evil people doing bad things and so the only sure-fire way to prevent mass shootings like the one at Sandy Hook elementary is to take down the shooter.
In a rare press conference one week after 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot dead 20 six- and seven-year-olds and six adults with a Bushmaster AR-15 assault rifle, the NRA called for armed guards in every school in the country.
But in Utah, one of the handful of American states that currently allows people to carry licensed concealed weapons into public schools, many teachers are unwilling to wait and see which political argument wins out.
Training sessions
In response to Newtown, the Utah Shooting Sports Council (USSC) waived its fee on Thursday for educators wanting to participate in training sessions to gain permits to carry concealed weapons.
More than half of the roughly 400 education professionals that showed an interest had to be turned away because there wasn't enough room on the course.
The surge in interest was seen by organisers as a direct response to the shooting in Newtown, with teachers showing a heightened awareness that people are responsible for their own safety and wanting their own permits.
Making it legal?
While teachers train themselves to try to stop the next Lanza, state officials like Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne are busily crafting legislation to make sure they can legally do so.
"The proposal is that any school that wishes to do so may designate the principal or another designee to receive training in the use of firearms and how to handle emergencies such as that which occurred in Newtown," he said.
Ideally, there would be an armed police officer in every school, but due to budget considerations this may not be possible, Horne said.
Pro-gun lawmakers in Florida, Minnesota, Oregon, South Dakota and Tennessee have also vowed to propose legislation in the coming months that would allow for armed teachers in schools.AFP

Editorial: Festival in good hands
Brief thoughts on some of the events making news from around Franklin County and the North Quabbin area:
Once it became necessary to find someone to take over the running of the Green River Festival from the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce, we suspect that there was little disagreement about Jim Olsen of Signature Sounds fame. Olsen knows the music, the valley and this particular music festival — which is headed to its 28th year this summer. And he knows that the Green River Festival, held at Greenfield Community College, is one of the go-to outdoor music events in western Massachusetts, if not all of New England. He helped make it that. It's safe to say that the festival is in good hands.
Given all the interest in the updating of Greenfield's wetlands ordinance, we hope that plenty of people are going to take up Town Councilor David Singer's invitation to get involved and participate in the process. Perhaps those interested should get their hands on the existing wetlands ordinance and the two drafts, one from the Conservation Commission and one from Al Norman, a citizen offering his opinion. They can be accessed at the town of Greenfield's website, by clicking on the Town Council bar and then the wetlands protection ordinance link.
We like the idea that the "Paint the Town Green" committee has come up with to hang a mural on the east exterior wall of Green Field's Market on Main Street. It's just another example of "public art" that slowly is becoming part of the community's fabric. Another recent example is the "Bringin' in the Bees" painted crosswalk, which we're glad to hear will be getting a touch-up later this year. We'll also include the Deerfield Street fish sculpture sponsored by the Greening Gateway Sculpture Committee. Perhaps there should be some thinking about what could be done with the parking garage off Bank Row and Olive Street should it become a real project. And, while we're talking about it, what about returning to the idea of painting the town's crosswalks green?
Congratulations to Tari N. Thomas on getting hired to become the new superintendent of the Ralph C. Mahar Regional, Orange Elementary and Petersham Elementary districts. While serving as the interim super, Thomas has gotten a good taste of what the schools and communities are like. This should benefit her and the districts.

Explore Belgium Fact file Where to go When to go Getting there Getting around Accommodation Food and drink Festivals and events Travel essentials Share Belgians get through a lot of chocolate – several kilograms per person every year – but considering how good it is here, it's a wonder it isn't more. The Belgians picked up their love of chocolate via the most circuitous of historical routes. The Aztecs of Mexico were drinking chocolate, which they believed gave them wisdom and power, when Hernando Cortéz's Spanish conquistadors turned up in 1519. Cortéz took a liking to the stuff and, after butchering the locals, brought cocoa beans back to Spain as a novelty gift for the Emperor Charles V in 1528. Within a few years its consumption had spread across Charles's empire, including today's Belgium and Luxembourg. At first the making of chocolate was confined to a few Spanish monasteries, but eventually Belgians got into the act and they now produce what are generally regarded as the best chocolates in the world. There are around two thousand chocolate shops around the country and even the smallest town or village will have at least one. Some brands are everywhere – Leonidas is perhaps the most ubiquitous; others include Godiva, Neuhaus and Moeder Babelutte – and you won't go far wrong buying from one of these places (it's worth remembering that Belgian chocolates are cheaper in Belgium!). But try also to seek out the independent producers, for example Wittamer or Pierre Marcolini in Brussels, or Chocolate Line in Bruges, which may be a little more expensive but will often be higher quality and more interesting.

Hirsch, O; Keller, H; Krones, T; Donner-Banzhoff, N (2011). Acceptance of shared decision making with reference to an electronic library of decision aids (arriba-lib) and its association to decision making in patients: an evaluation study. Implementation Science, 6:70.
| Published Version 847kB View at publisher |
Decision aids based on the philosophy of shared decision making are designed to help patients make informed choices among diagnostic or treatment options by delivering evidence-based information on options and outcomes. A patient decision aid can be regarded as a complex intervention because it consists of several presumably relevant components. Decision aids have rarely been field tested to assess patients' and physicians' attitudes towards them. It is also unclear what effect decision aids have on the adherence to chosen options.
The electronic library of decision aids (arriba-lib) to be used within the clinical encounter has a modular structure and contains evidence-based decision aids for the following topics: cardiovascular prevention, atrial fibrillation, coronary heart disease, oral antidiabetics, conventional and intensified insulin therapy, and unipolar depression. We conducted an evaluation study in which 29 primary care physicians included 192 patients. After the consultation, patients filled in questionnaires and were interviewed via telephone two months later. We used generalised estimation equations to measure associations within patient variables and traditional crosstab analyses.
Patients were highly satisfied with arriba-lib and the process of shared decision making. Two-thirds of patients reached in the telephone interview wanted to be counselled again with arriba-lib. There was a high congruence between preferred and perceived decision making. Of those patients reached in the telephone interview, 80.7% said that they implemented the decision, independent of gender and education. Elderly patients were more likely to say that they implemented the decision.
Shared decision making with our multi-modular electronic library of decision aids (arriba-lib) was accepted by a high number of patients. It has positive associations to general aspects of decision making in patients. It can be used for patient groups with a wide range of individual characteristics.

Miller was calling from his cattle farm near Staunton, Va., a picturesque city in an especially bucolic part of the Shenandoah Valley. Loud and ebullient, he answered questions as if he were addressing the cows, his friends and constant companions these days.
"I'm liking my cows more and more," he said, content in the relative obscurity of small-town Virginia. ...

Influence of multiple scattering on three-dimensional imaging with optical diffraction tomography
JOSA A, Vol. 23, Issue 3, pp. 586-595 (2006)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (734 KB)
Optical diffraction tomography is an imaging technique that permits retrieval of the map of permittivity of an object from its scattered far field. Most reconstruction procedures assume that single scattering is dominant so that the scattered far field is linearly linked to the permittivity. In this work, we present a nonlinear inversion method and apply it to complex three-dimensional samples. We show that multiple scattering permits one to obtain a power of resolution beyond the classical limit imposed by the use of propagative incident and diffracted waves. Moreover, we stress that our imaging method is robust with respect to correlated and uncorrelated noise.

Anyone who has an introverted child-or was one-knows these dreaded words: "He should really speak up more in class." But what if, as is the case for at least a third of the population, gregariousness just doesn't come naturally? In this intriguing book, Cain argues that the constitutionally introverted-those who prefer listening to talking, reading to regaling, solitude to hanging with the gang-get a bum rap. Far from being "a second-class personality trait, somewhere between a disappointment and a pathology," she writes, the inward-focused temperament is uniquely conducive to creativity, innovation, even leadership (see Eleanor Roosevelt and Mahatma Gandhi), and should be valued as such. Among the findings she cites: group brainstorming in the workplace actually produces fewer and poorer ideas than solo work; risk-loving extroverts out-shouting cautious introverts in the financial industry helped cause the global crisis. Cain takes care not to dump on the talkative: Unless we master telepathy, after all, expressing ideas is a crucial skill. The takeaway for quiet kids? Help them find ways to make themselves heard without forcing them into the "Extrovert Ideal." And quote them a little Gandhi. "In a gentle way," he said, "you can shake the world."
There Is No Dog
by Meg Rosoff |
Why is God always depicted as an old guy? Rosoff's thoughtful, hilarious YA novel suggests that, in the beginning, teenager Bob was in charge, named Creator when the first choice withdrew to spend time with his family. A feckless sort with an unbridled libido, Bob constructs a wildly imaginative planet but can't be bothered with upkeep; that's left to his assistant, Mr. B. The biggest headaches involve Bob's romances, which cause natural disasters. His wooing of Lucy, an assistant zookeeper, brings rain not seen since Noah's day. Or, as Mr. B puts it, "God falls in love; thousands die."
Jack London-he experienced the wild and describes it like nobody else. Herman Melville as well. I read Moby-Dick again recently. They both tackle the big issues.
I collect books about murder mysteries, but my favorite author of thrillers is James Patterson. I've probably read all of his and Patricia Cornwell's.
John Fante (Ask the Dust). There's something very raw and honest about his writing. Hunter S. Thompson's also a big favorite.
The social-media era hasn't made us less polite, says Would It Kill You to Stop Doing That? author Henry Alford, but it has given us "more canvases to paint our bad manners onto." Some tips for better etiquette, online and off:
Return a phone call with a text.
"There's an implicit hierarchy of communication. If you go lower on the hierarchy, people will think there's a subtext."
Brag too much on Facebook.
"Someone may be having trouble conceiving, for instance, so posting your sonogram as your profile picture isn't the best idea."
Overuse "thx."
"Whenever I see that I wonder, what's wrong with the letters a-n-k? 'Thx' can be an insult, especially in response to a long and thoughtful letter."
Say "No problem"
unless an actual problem has been averted. "It's false modesty. I had a waiter recently who asked if I wanted water. I said 'No thanks,' and he said, 'No problem.'"
Use exclamation points!
"E-mail is tricky tone-wise; there's such a dead-fish aspect to it. The exclamation point is our best friend."

A COUNCILLOR who dropped Labour and declared herself an independent has been branded a "dead loss" by her former boss.
Basildon Labour group leader Nigel Smith is furious with Jane Dyer, the incumbent councillor for Vange, who told her party she was stepping down, but not that she intended standing again as an independent.
She hit back, saying she has done a lot of work at grass roots level.
Mrs Dyer is still listed as the Labour member for the seat on Basildon Council's website, but the party has selected Santa Bennett to replace her as its candidate for the ward.
Mr Smith said: "She has been a dead loss as a councillor and has not spoken at a council meeting in the four years since being elected.
"She has refused to put her contact number for constituents on the council website. She has no record of service to the people of Vange."
Mr Smith said it was "a great surprise" when it emerged Mrs Dyer was standing as an independent.
Mrs Dyer said: "My impact has been in the ward that I represent. I was elected to serve the community that I represent and that is what I have done."
She said while she may not have taken part in a great deal of formal council business, she had made a lot of difference at grass roots level.
For example, she said she had worked with the police, Circle Anglia Housing Association and Barstable School to reduce the level of graffiti, vandalism and drug-taking in nearby Ivy Path.
Mrs Dyer added she had also ensured several residents were either moved from poor council housing, or their properties were suitably renovated.
She said: "I have also given my time serving on the Circle Anglia Housing board and have thousands of e-mails where local people have asked me for help.
"I was ill throughout 2006 and the early part of 2007, which limited the number of meetings I could attend, but I always looked out for the people I represent. I decided I could serve them better outside the constraints of party politics."
There will be seven candidates vying for the Vange seat including another independent David Aitken.
Council leader Malcolm Buckley is confident the move has opened the door for Tory Luke McKenzie.
He said: "With the sitting councillor an independent, she is unlikely to hold the seat and the new Labour candidate is an unknown entity.
" Luke has been campaigning hard in the area, so we should have a good chance of winning."
Last May, Labour councillor Swatantra Nandanwar clung on to her Vange seat, but only had 54 more votes than Mr McKenzie.

Code P1456 is an Evaporative System Code & is unrelated to the other 2 codes. It could be as simple as a loose or bad fuel cap however keep in mind that if you find it loose & tighten it the light may not go out right away. If you need further help or need the vehicle diagnosed please feel free to contact us. Thank You Steve Bazar Your Car Specialists 562-802-1332
There are several items that can cause that condition. The most common items are the distributor, ignition module or even the ignition switch. It is usually rather easy to diagnose especially if the condition happens when we are diagnosing it. We would be more than happy to check out your vehicle for you if you would like. Just give us a call and set up an appointment. I hope this helps. Steve Bazar Your Car Specialists 562-802-1332 YourCarSpecialists.com
P1166 is a failure in the heater circuit in the Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor. This code can come up for several different things however it is most commonly due to a bad Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor. There are several different companies that make a sensor for that vehicle. We try to stay away from universal parts, we try to only use a direct fit part by the origional part manufacturer. As long as the part is made for your application you should be able to use it. I hope this helps!! Happy Holidays!!!
Sometimes we have seen the Idle Air Control Valves get plugged up and not cause a light to come on. When they get plugged it can make the idle very irratic and vehicle may even stall when coming to a stop. This has been a common problem for us here in Southern California for a few years....it might be the climate or the fuel but it is common. We would be more than happy to inspect the vehicle for you at no cost and let you know what the costs would be. There are many things that can cause the symptoms that you are having and unfortunately the only way to know exactly what is wrong is to inspect the vehicle. I hope this helps!!!! Have A Very Merry Christmas!!! Steve Your Car Specialists 13903 Marquardt Ave Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670 562-802-1332 www.YourCarSpecialists.com
It sounds like you might have an intake manifold that has a leak. We would be more than happy to inspect it for you at no cost and give you an estimate for repair. Just give us a call and set up an appointment. Thank You Your Car Specialists 562-802-1332
It is not normal. The headlight assemblies need to be water tight because of the type of halogen bulb that they use. The dealer should replace it for you if you are still under warranty....they will however need to see the condensation in the light & may need to take a picture of it that way in order to warranty it for you. I hope this helps. Steve Bazar Your Car Specialists
Based on your description there could be several things causing your issues. The 1st question I would have as well is if you have a check engine light on. If you do then you would need to take the vehicle to a qualified repair facility that can read the code & diagnose that issue. The jumping could be a brake issue or a tire issue or could also be a missfire. The missfire would normally set the check engine light. We would be more than happy to check out your vehicle at no cost and let you know what is needed to repair these issues. Please give us a call or send us an email & we can set up an appointment for you. I hope this helps. Thank You Steve Bazar Your Car Specialists
The A/C sounds like you might have an issue with the blower inside the vehicle. when you say you turn it up does that mean you turn the fan speed up and it doesn't blow any faster?? The puddle by the right front tire....is it clear water or does it have a color??? We would be more than happy to inspect the vehicle at no cost to you and let you know what is wrong. It would be very hard to tell you if it had anything to do with the oil change or brakes without inspecting the vehicle. Feel free to give ua a call at 562-802-1332. Thank You
The upper control arm is part of your front suspension - We would be more than happy to inspect them at no cost to see what needs to be replaced - if anything - and what the costs would be. Did they tell you why the control arms need replaced??? For instance the bushings were bad or the ball joint is bad?? Please give us a call for an appointment & we can get it looked at for you.
It sounds like you may have a defective turn signal/headlight switch. We would be more than happy to inspect your vehicle at no cost so that you would know what is wrong & how much it would cost for repair. You can reach us at 562-802-1332 or by going to www.YourCarSpecialists.com. Thank You

Zooming along the sidewalk at up to 13 miles per hour on an electric-powered scooter sounds like a lot of fun. However, one scooter company has run into trouble by running its ads that show an unsupervised teen zipping around the neighborhood during shows for inappropriately young kids. Their commercials caught the attention of the ad watchdogs over at the Children's Advertising Review Unit of the Advertising Self-Regulatory Council. [More]
Handing Prescription Bottles Full Of M&Ms To Kids Is A Very Bad Idea
It was one thing when a company selling products for babies handed out fake prescription bottles full of candy to bloggers who could, theoretically, bring them home to their children. Teaching kids that amber and white bottles contain candy is a terrible idea. Yet one college professor skipped the intermediary and handed out pill bottles filled with M&Ms directly to children, angering their parents and other community members. [More]
Smart Sleep Number Bed For Kids Banishes Monsters With App
Smart appliances and Internet-connected household items are here on the market and on their way into our homes whether we like it or not, but here's one unexpected smart product: a smart bed for children that serves as its own night light and banishes under-the-bed monsters using a smartphone app. [More]
Investigation Finds Kids' Clothes With Banned Drawstrings In N.Y. Thrift Stores
For the last decade or so, children's clothing with drawstrings have been illegal to sell in this country. Such items still often go on the market, as our monthly Recall Roundups show, and older hand-me-downs may still have the offending strings. A recent investigation by the New York Attorney General's office found banned kids' clothes in the majority of thrift stores that it checked in the state. [More]
Girl Scouts And Mattel Team Up For Barbie-Branded Activity And Patch
The Girl Scouts: they stand for wholesome, educational, and fun childhood activities. Right? Generally, yes, and even without coating every visible surface with pink sparkles. A new set of Barbie-themed activities and patch for the Daisy and Brownie levels (kindergarten through third grade) has horrified some critics, who think that the toy-maker's influence is bad for girls' self-image.

City Government Busts Old-Timey Soda Fountain For Selling Old-Timey Candy Cigarettes
As a child of the '80s raised by a pair of reformed smokers, I never had candy cigarettes. They weren't common when I was growing up, and even if they had been, I wouldn't have been allowed to have them. You may be surprised to learn that they still exist. Until recently, you could buy them at a retro old-timey soda fountain in St. Paul, Minnesota. Until Big Government swooped in and told the owner that the candy cigs had to go, because they're illegal. [More]
Why Is A Toy Store Promoting An M-Rated Video Game?
Toys 'R' Us sells video games. A lot of games are decidedly toys for grown-ups, not for kids. One of these is the long-anticipated Duke Nukem Forever, which is promoted front and center in the store's advertising circular this week. Timely marketing, sure. But Omar asks: is it appropriate to promote this item so heavily at a store that devotes most of its floor space to items for children?
Has Toys 'R' Us Forgotten That Its Customers Are Children?
Alexander wonders: if Toys 'R' Us is a business that caters to children, why aren't their policies very child-friendly? If fickle children receive duplicate gifts or things they just don't want, why won't the chain take them back? He shared a recent experience along with his rant. [More]
Toddlers And Spray Bottles Full Of Bleach Are An Irresistible Combination

Redesigned Hot Dog Breaks Apart When Eaten
Just three months after the American Academy of Pediatrics put out a call for a redesigned hot dog that would be safer for small children to eat, Eugene D. Gagliardi, Jr. — the food designer who invented Steak-umms and popcorn chicken — has come forward with a solution. His patented hot dog has eight slits that open during cooking, which cause it to break up into smaller pieces, potentially reducing the likelihood that a child could choke on it. [More]
Tic Tacs Or Tobacco? Study Says Camel Orbs Look Too Sweet

A TV On A Dresser Can Crush Your Kid To Death

Red Robin Cuts Crayons, Forces You To Talk To Kids
Don't look now, but some restaurants seem to be cutting back on that staple of the family dining experience: crayons and paper for kids. NPR's Planet Money blog reports that the Red Robin chain has gone from four crayons per customer to two. How long before they drop them completely, forcing parents to — gasp — hold conversations with their children instead of letting them color images of popular menu items while mom and dad knock down their pre-meal cocktails.
Parental Control Software Co. Sells What Kids Say On The Internet
If you're a company like Echometrix that sells parental control software, you're sitting on a whole bunch of data about what teens and children say and do on the Internet. What to do with that information? Use it to make your software better? Well, of course. But why not sell aggregate data to marketers, too?
Top 10 Recalled Children's Products To Avoid Buying Secondhand

Continental Offers Free Flights, Frequent-Flyer Status To Misrouted Child's Family
Continental Airlines has made a much more generous offer to the family whose ten-year-old daughter was accidentally flown to Newark instead of Cleveland while flying as an unaccompanied minor.

Harmata said: remaking Quake 2 when the market was already saturated with "dark rooms of shinny metal" games, like Prey, Riddick, Doom 3, FEAR. Also, the game had worse looking skyboxes than Quake 2, that's an achievement.
They started making RAGE before there were Fallout 3 and Borderlands.
Besides, the fault in their games isn't the setting; it's the gameplay.
Bethesda is awesome for daring to make stuff like The Elder Scrolls games.
Quake 2 skyboxes looked worse than Q3A and TA skyboxes, they were all ugly with the grainy look.

If you want
Quake IV is a sequel to Quake II, plotwise.
Harmata said: PREY
Harmata said: The only thing Q4 has from a plot it's that ridiculous phone call in the end, "To be continued...". I cringed then, i cringe now. If you'd removed Macron's death and stroggification, nothing would change. Just another assault on another alien base with another alien boss.

But maybe like vanilla DOOM, it just doesn't appeal to younger players who are used to OpenGL highres stuff with fancy bloom and other effects. I still enjoy it to this day, ever since my first experience with qtest, even though it ran slow as mollasses on my 486DX/33. :-)
That's a different company.
Spoilers, man. Spoilers.
Did everyone on this page just magically forget that Raven, not id, made Quake 4?

Those seeking help in the aftermath of the flooding from the past two weeks can visit the state Department of Financial Services' Mobile Command Center.
The center was set up in the Herkimer Village Hall parking lot on Wednesday and will be open there again today from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Trained personnel, including Department of Financial Services Superintendent Benjamin Lawsky, who will be available to assist residents, will staff it. Matthew Anderson, a spokesperson with the Department of Financial Services, said the mobile command center will "help provide assistance for those dealing with damage resulting from the flooding."
Impacted families and business are also urged to call the DFS disaster hotline for assistance at 1-800-339-1759, which is available on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on weekends from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The command center will be deployed to additional locations, not yet announced, in the coming days to continue to help victims. For more information, go to www.dfs.ny.gov.
Cuomo 'not optimistic' on FEMA funds, promises help regardless
When it comes to flood relief, Gov. Andrew Cuomo appears to be losing faith in Washington. Addressing a crowd at Herkimer County Community College on Sunday, Cuomo seemed confident federal assistance would be made available for municipalities and residents affected by the recent flooding — although he acknowledged he had yet to speak directly with federal officials on the matter.
But The Times Union in Albany reported Cuomo's tune had changed by Tuesday, when he shared his doubts after an appearance at the University of Buffalo Law School.
"I spoke with the federal officials today. At this point I am not overly optimistic," Cuomo said. "I want to get the federal funds, because the state does not have a lot of money either. But whatever happens, we are not going to leave the homeowners on their own."
Cuomo previously said the "worst-case scenario" would be to call a special session of the state Legislature dedicated to finding funds to dole out to weatherworn counties.
The heavy rainfall of June 27 and June 28 hit Herkimer, Oneida, Madison and Montgomery counties hard. At the height of the storms, over 13,000 New Yorkers were without power, including the entire village of Mohawk, whose power substation was inundated by 10 feet of water. Significant flooding caused by the overflowing of the Mohawk River due to heavy rainfall ravaged 15 counties, forced hundreds to evacuate from their homes, destroyed countless amounts of personal property and rendered critical infrastructure, such as water treatment plants, power stations and canal locks, inoperable or significantly damaged. In addition to infrastructure, many upstate New Yorkers are suffering. In four of the hardest hit municipalities 44 homes were destroyed, 75 were left with major damage and more than 750 had minor damage. Areas in the Southern Tier and the Hudson Valley were also impacted and are in need of aid.
Page 2 of 4 - Senators: Send emergency food assistance now
U.S. Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand on Wednesday called on the U.S. Department of Agriculture to implement emergency food resources. Specifically, the senators called for an extension for replacement Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for 30 days in disaster-affected counties, approval to implement a Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program as soon as possible and additional resources from the Emergency Food Assistance Program to counties hit the hardest.
"When disaster strikes, we must step in and assist those who need help the most," said Schumer. "The Disaster Supplemental Nutrition and Emergency Food Assistance programs are there to fill the gap as New Yorkers across the Mohawk Valley recover and rebuild after terrible storms, and they must be extended and implemented immediately."
"Standing by those who are struggling is who we are as Americans," said Gillibrand. "No one can question the suffering these families are enduring today. I've seen it first-hand. We must stand by them with access to healthy meals so they can meet basic needs as we work to clean up and get back on our feet."
Schumer: Stream gauges provide critical warnings to cities, towns
U.S. Senator Charles Schumer on Wednesday highlighted the importance of stream gauges in flood detection, prevention and evacuation planning in upstate New York, called for the full funding of New York's existing 200-plus stream and river gauges and urged for more gauges to be installed in the region.
He said given repeated and increasing flooding in the Mohawk Valley, Hudson Valley, Southern Tier, Western New York and beyond in recent years, New York should be prioritized for more of these devices, which predict if and when floodwaters will crest.
He said the National Streamgage Information Program, through the U.S. Geological Survey, is chronically underfunded, which leaves many of the devices at risk of being shut off each year. He called for the passage of the administration's 2014 budget, which includes an increase of $7.3 million and the addition of 300 new gauges nationwide.
"In the aftermath of the severe rainfall and flash flooding in upstate New York, we must first focus on recovery and rebuilding, but also look to prevent future instances of what has been repeated and increased flooding. We have learned from Tropical Storms Irene and Lee, Superstorm Sandy and the recent flooding in upstate New York that we cannot shortchange programs that our communities rely on to keep their citizens safe and well-informed and help first responders plan flood responses" said Schumer. "Stream gauges are the first line of defense in river flooding, and in these cases, a stitch in time saves nine. As these and other disasters have shown, funding stream gauges is a critical and comparatively minor investment relative to the cost of repairing and rebuilding after a flood for which a community did not have time to prepare. We have a responsibility to prepare our communities in the event of natural disasters and always do our best to prevent loss of life and property — stream gauges do both for pennies on the dollar."
Page 3 of 4 - Schumer urged his colleagues on the Senate Appropriations Committee, with jurisdiction over stream gauge funding, to increase the funding for existing stream gauges throughout the U.S. and to add 300 additional gauges to the system. He said he wants New York to be prioritized as decisions are made as to where the new gauges are placed, given its recent history of severe and recurrent flooding and because many local emergency managers have cited a need for better tools to predict flooding.
Free Tdap shots for flood victims
Herkimer County Public Health will offer free Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) shots for cleanup workers, first responders and residents who were affected by the recent flooding in Herkimer County.
The clinics will take place today from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Mohawk Fire Station, 28 Columbia St., Mohawk, and from 9 to 11 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday mornings during Public Health's walk-in clinics at 301 N. Washington St., Herkimer.

Well, Hope you enjoy the little video of the beautiful fibers. The colors in still pictures just didnt come through like they did with the video. I "re-cooked" about 6 of the colors that didnt initially exgaust and added just a little more vinegar to the dye bath. The remaining un-exhausted jars I added just a bit more dye and vinegar and re-cooked. My next try will be with the Country Classic Dyes. I am super pleased with the colors of the Jacquard but am concerned that either I'm not doing something correctly or there are certain dyes that are a bit more work.
BTW the Emerald dyed fiber turned out to be a lot more work that I had expected. As you can see from the picture I posted the initial dye bath not only did not exhaust but the water is very Blue.
I thought possibly I had not mixed the Emerald dye correctly so I emptied the jar, Remixed the dye and Vinegar and Water, Cooked the required time and left to sit with the others overnight. This one color contimued to not only exhaust completely but when rinsing out the fiber I had a devil of a time with getting clear water. I rinsed for at least 10 minutes. I then read a bit to see if I needed to do something else, contacted another fiberholic to get some advice (thankd Beth) tried rinsing again in cold water for about 5 minutes...continually changing the rinse water and when there was just a tint of blue water I called it quits!!!. I let the fiber dry... Unfortunately all that rinsing also caused the fiber to felt some. UGH.... Well out came the Hackles hubby made and just the outer fibers of the 'roll' were felted so I was able to seperate. UNFORTUNATELY while working to unfelt this stuff my hands turned blue as they dye was still not completely out. So now what??? Well, my next step will be to soak gently in Washing Soda and try the rinsing process again. This time definately no agitation. So enough fiber dyeing for now.
Tonite I spun about 350 yards of Quivit on my little electric Hansen wheel. Each year when I visit the Maryland Sheep and Wool festival I purchase a little of this precious fiber. I think I will ply it with silk to stretch the yardage a little. I would like to just save this yardage for a bit longer and see if I can continue to add a bit more after the New York - Rhinebeck festival.
Well, so much for my fiber filled weekend. Hope all had a wonderful one also. Until next time.....
