Sourcing Guide(HKTDC Houseware, Vol 02,2005)
Smart buyers worldwide know there is only one website worth bookmarking when it comes to searching for high quality, competitively priced products on the Internet.
Sourcing Guide at hkenterprise.com has been making life easier and a lot more profitable for buyers since 1996, when the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (TDC) first realised the immense potential of online sourcing.
The hkenterprise.com formula of offering specific marketing, sourcing and partnering services at the TDC's award-winning tdctrade.com portal currently draws an average of two million hits a day.
A new and exciting dimension allows visitors to search for potential suppliers in the whole of the Greater China region as well as Hong Kong. "The look and feel is the same as the former hkenterprise.com, but buyers can now browse by regions," explains TDC head of publications and e-commerce Clare Wong.
The navigation bar allows a buyer looking for toys, for example, to search for toy makers by market - Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland, Taiwan or Macau - or by region.
Type in a product name or keyword and a list of Greater China suppliers and their details will appear on-screen. "We have more than 3,000 categories to cover all products," adds Wong.
She says Sourcing Guide, which is a key component of tdctrade.com, is convenient, can be accessed whenever and wherever the buyer is online and is also efficient, as just one click provides access to banks of information.
"It is very cost-effective as buyers enjoy free access once they have registered online," Wong adds. "Sourcing Guide also features popular specialties like enquiry baskets, a message centre, new product alerts and recommended categories."
This user-friendly approach saw tdctrade.com recognised by ACNeilsen as The Best Trade Promotion Portal In Asia in May 2003 and win CMP Asia's fourth Annual Intelligent20 Awards in November that year. "tdctrade.com also won a Standard of Excellence Web Award from the Web Marketing Association of the US in 2002, 2003 and 2004," Wong notes.
Most visitors to hkenterprise.com are from Asia (31%), followed by Europe (27%) and the US (30%), with the rest split between the Middle East, Central and South America, Australia and Africa. "Just over 26% of visitors are importers, 16% are manufacturers and nearly 18% are wholesalers/retailers," Wong observes.
One of the keen advantages of hkenterprise.com is its pricing: it costs US$3,800-5,000 a year to advertise on the website. "For small and medium-sized enterprises and overseas buyers, hkenterprise.com offers large exposure at a very competitive price compared with similar websites," Wong points out.

As leaks and rumors present their arrival with growing consistency, we are presented with visualizations citing the release of the Android 4.4 Kit Kat. At present November 1 has been regarded as the date for the official release, however there is no concrete information to support the claim that the Nexus 5 will be unraveled soon along-with the unveiling of the Android 4.4.
In such times, tech enthusiasts have to stay contend with several lowdowns that constitute a turning point towards determining the legitimacy of rumors. Along these lines, Nestle has released a teaser video which ostentatiously displays an Android bot tricking or fooling around with another bot's Kit Kat wafer wherein a promise of a magic trick is displayed. But thereafter this trick never surfaces up to light. Continue reading

Rally II 2-1/8" Shift Knob with a Ford Racing Logo for all 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 Mustangs with a Manual Transmission.
Is the shift knob in your 1983-2004 Mustang old & worn out? Is it a little too dull for your taste? Then don't wait to purchase this all new Rally II 2-1/8" Shift Knob with a Ford Racing Logo to give your shifter a classic, race track inspired look, with a customized spin!
- Available in a Range of Color Combinations
- Inlaid Rally II Style Stripes
- Ford Racing Logo Placed on Top of Shift Knob
- Manufactured Using Premium Partek Resins
- Engineered for Strength and Durability
- 2-1/8" Knob Diameter
- 12mm x 1.75 Thread Pattern
- Officially Ford Licensed
- Made in the USA
What are Rally II Style Stripes? Rally II stripes consist of three race-inspired stripes: two thin outer stripes surrounding a much wider inner stripe. For this specific shift knob, the stripes run vertically around the knob and are split by the well-known Ford Racing logo at the top. All stripes and logos are inlaid onto the shift knob and are smooth to the touch.
When purchasing this shift knob, you'll have the option to further customize it by choosing from a variety of bold, high-gloss color combinations for the knob and stripe logos that best fit your personal style. CJ Pony Parts lists these colors by their knob color first, followed by the stripe color. The inlaid Ford Racing logo matches the color of the Rally II stripes. The knobs are very similar to your typical billiard ball, being created using the same high-quality partek resins and are designed for long-term strength and durability.
These Ford licensed knobs feature a 2-1/8" diameter and the correct 12mm x 1.75 thread pattern to comfortably fit in your 1983-2004 Mustang.
*All shift knobs are custom made to order and take 3-4 weeks to ship from CJ Pony Parts.

If you do not have an existing jam nut to reuse, CJ Pony Parts has them available (HW3042).Without a jam nut you run the risk of splitting the shift knob in half, if you over-tighten the knob when it bottoms out on the shift handle.
Order a Rally II 2-1/8" Shift Knob with a Ford Racing Logo for your 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 or 2004 Mustang with a Manual Transmission from CJ Pony Parts today!

I have a thing for Peaches Geldof. I know this will amount to nothing, and that no matter how hard she tries to make herself happen, she probably won't happen, but that doesn't change the fact that though no one else cares about her, I do. Peaches is all skinny and sickly blonde now and she may be engaged to her boyfriend Thomas Cohen, a musician, of course, who is reportedly sick in love with her and very, very jealous and possessive, and they apparently can't stand to be apart.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
EEOC Charged Female Employee Fired Because of Muslim Headdress
ATLANTA – Ivy Hall Assisted Living, LLC will pay $43,000 and furnish other relief to settle a religious discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
The agency had charged that Ivy Hall discriminated against a female housekeeper by firing her rather than accommodating her religious belief that she wear a Muslim head scarf (hijab) outside her home. According to the EEOC's suit, Ivy Hall insisted that, as a condition of her continued employment, Khadija Ahdaoui remove and refrain from wearing her hijab on the job.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which requires that employers make an effort to accommodate employees' and applicants' sincerely held religious beliefs. The EEOC filed the suit on September 30, 2008 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (Case No.: 1:08-CV-3067-BBM-SSC).
The consent decree settling the suit, in addition to the monetary relief of $43,000, includes provisions for equal employment opportunity training, reporting of any further religious discrimination complaints, and posting of an anti-discrimination notice. In the suit and consent decree, Ivy Hall denied any liability or wrongdoing.
"Title VII protects employees from having to make the choice Ms. Ahdaoui was forced to make between her religious beliefs and her employment," said Robert Dawkins, regional attorney for the EEOC's Atlanta District Office. "The Commission is pleased that Ivy Hall committed itself to resolving this matter and to taking the necessary steps to ensure future compliance with the law."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

A French family whose tile roof started leaking discovered a 4.5-billion-year-old meteor the size of an egg had fallen all the way down from an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and come to rest in their attic insulation.
Martine Comette, who lives in the home in a Paris suburb said the discovery was made by a man called to fix the leaky rook.
"We got the roof tiler [to come over] and he was astounded," she told the Telegraph. "He said: 'You need to be Superman to break a tile like that! It must be a meteorite.'"
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Meteor expert Alain Carion examined the rock, known as a "chondrite," and quickly identified it by the "black fusion crust that characterizes the crossing of the Earth's atmosphere".
He said the three-ounce meteorite is around 4.57 billion years old and came from an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
"It's incredibly rare. We have never found any less than 80km (50 miles) from Paris before," he told Le Parisien.
Comette, a French government worker, said the family was on vacation when the meteorite hit and therefore never heard it crash through the roof.
"A meteorite landing [on your house] is magical and more unlikely than winning the Lottery," she told Le Parisien.
France gets hit with the most meteorites per capita of any country in the world. The biggest ever found in the country was a 330-pounder in southwestern France, which would do a lot more damage than casing a leaky roof.

Karajan GoldThe compact disc, as a medium for sound, was still on the horizon when Herbert von Karajan urged his record company to utilize the new digital technology for his recordings. Consequently Karajan's Magic Flute, recorded in 1980, became the first release of a Deutsche Grammophon digital production and was first released on LP.
By the time the maestro died in 1989, the CD had replaced the LP as the primary medium for sound, yet he was realistic enough to know that the pioneering early stages of the digital era would be followed by further technical development. This is reflected in Karajan Gold.
In this series, refinements of the digital process occurring after Karajan's death were applied to enhance the Maestro's own recordings. Thirty releases from the early digital era were remastered for this series using DG's special Original-Image Bit-Processing technology. They were originally issued between 1993-1995.

Hi everyone,
This will be my first post in the forums! Have an assignment where user has to input number of people at a party, the amount of pizza slices per person and then how many pizzas will it require (large, medium or small pizzas each with 12, 6, and 4 slices respectively) to feed all the people WHILE keeping the number of left-over slices to a minimum of 3. Now, I got the whole program basically up and running but I think my math is wrong, because whenever I attempt to enter test data (number of people 17 and 4 slices per person) the answer come back with only 66 instead of 68 and say that i still have 2 "extra" slices, when in fact I dont. I am missing two. The correct answer should be 70 slices with 2 leftover (because 5 x 12 + 1x6 + 1x4 = 70).
Here is the code:
If anyone can give me a hint, that'd be great! Thanks a lot!import java.util.Scanner; //Importing the Scanner class. public class A_Gray_PizzaPartyMildVers { public static void main(String[] args) { //Display title of program and output to screen System.out.println("Aaron's Pizza Party Planning Program!"); System.out.println("*************************************"); //Create Scanner object Scanner keyinput = new Scanner(System.in); //Declare variables of how many people will be at the party and how many slices they will want each. int numberOfPeople; int numberOfSlices; //Prompt user to input the amount of people at the party that want pizza and how many slices they will each want. System.out.print("\nHow many people at your party would like some pizza: "); numberOfPeople = keyinput.nextInt(); System.out.print("How many slices are being bought per person: "); numberOfSlices = keyinput.nextInt(); //Calculate total number of slices for the people at the party and store in a variable. int slicesNeeded = numberOfPeople * numberOfSlices; System.out.println("\nYou will need " + slicesNeeded + " slices of pizza to feed all these hungry party-goers!"); //Declare + initialize variables for the pizza prices double smallPizzaPrice = 7.99; double mediumPizzaPrice = 11.59; double largePizzaPrice = 19.35; //Declare variables for the number of pizzas per size and the total number of slices of the order int numberOfSmallPizzas; int numberOfMediumPizzas; int numberOfLargePizzas; int totalSlices = slicesNeeded; //Will be used to calculate extra slices by modulus division. double orderCost = 0.00; //Declare + initialize variable of the total cost of the pizza order int temp = 0; //Declare + initialize placeholder variable. //Create nested-if structure to determine how many pizzas of each size will be needed to fulfill slicesNeeded. //Also will calculate costs per total of pizza size (how many of each size of pizza will need to be bought). if (slicesNeeded > 12) { temp = totalSlices % 12; numberOfLargePizzas = ( (totalSlices - temp) / 12); System.out.println("\t" + numberOfLargePizzas +" large pizza(s) at $" + largePizzaPrice); totalSlices = temp; orderCost += (numberOfLargePizzas * largePizzaPrice); if (slicesNeeded >= 6) { temp = totalSlices % 6; numberOfMediumPizzas = ( (totalSlices - temp) / 6); System.out.println("\t" + numberOfMediumPizzas +" medium pizza(s) at $" + mediumPizzaPrice); totalSlices = temp; orderCost += (numberOfMediumPizzas * mediumPizzaPrice); //end medium pizza if if (slicesNeeded >= 4) { temp = totalSlices % 4; numberOfSmallPizzas = ( (totalSlices - temp) / 4); System.out.println("\t" + numberOfSmallPizzas +" small pizza(s) at $" + smallPizzaPrice); totalSlices = temp; orderCost += (numberOfSmallPizzas * smallPizzaPrice); }//end small pizza if } }//end outer if (large pizza) System.out.println("\nYour order will include " + slicesNeeded + " slices which means there will be " + totalSlices + " left-over."); System.out.println("\nYour order comes to $ " + orderCost); }//end main }//end class

kinda need one of these in my life
Light and direct aero bike with fast handling but uncompromising stiffness.
The aero road bike market is hotting up. Scott were in the vanguard, as one first big manufacturers to go down the route of combining aerodynamic features into a road bike with the release of their Foil back in 2011.
With the lightweight Addict absent for several years, the Foil has been the mainstay of Scott's road bike range with eight models available covering a range of prices. We've been testing the £3,999 model equipped with an electronic Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset, Syncros finishing kit and wheels, and a sleek grey paintjob.
Frame: Aero inspired frame and fork
The Foil was the result of Scott working with renowned aerodynamicist Simon Smart, whose background in F1 aerodynamics made him a natural choice to help them with their first ever aero road bike. Reducing drag is the aim of the Foil, but if you take a close look at the frame, it doesn't have the long sleek airfoil shaped tubes and cutaway seat tube of most aero road bikes.
When Scott set out to design the Foil, aerodynamics wasn't the only objective. Stiffness, and maximising it, was also an essential part of the design. That shows in the profile of the tubes they've used, which follow similar lines to the Kamm Tail profile the likes of Trek have used in their latest Madone. These are airfoil tubes with a truncated tail, which tricks the air into acting as if the trail wasn't truncated. Thats allowed Scott to use tube profiles that would deliver on the weight and stiffness front.
The downtube, fork blades, seat tube and seat stays, the main parts of the frame facing the wind, are shaped in this manner. Scott have considered how the air behaves as it passes over the frame from front to back, and as a result the seat stays are carefully angled at four degrees from the seat tube to reduce drag.
The frame is made from Scott's HMF NET Carbon. NET stands for Naked External Tubeset, which means the frame goes without a cosmetic outer layer of carbon to shed the weight. Further weight is saved on the frame with carbon dropouts, carbon bearing faces in the bottom bracket and head tube, producing a claimed frame weight of about 850g.
The other, increasingly standard design feature these days, is the internal routing of the cables. This test bike came equipped with an electronic groupset, and uses special plugs that slot into the moulded cable entry ports. The redundant port at the top of the downtube on the non-driveside is an unfortunate reminder of the bike's provision for mechanical groupsets.
Geometry is suitable racey; a 16cm head tube on this 56cm test bike places the bars reasonably low. A 73 degree head tube angle and 73.3 degree seat angle is fairly standard stuff and provides predictable handling. Scott alter the seat tube angle across the size range to suit different height people. If you want stack and reach, the figures are 569mm and 394mm respectively.
Build kit: Solid and dependable but not light
A Shimano Ultegra 6770 Di2 groupset plugs into the frame. We're fans of the Ultegra groupset, it offers near identical performance to Dura-Ace but costs a lot less money, and the only handicap is the slightly higher weight. If you're moving from mechanical Shimano to Di2 for the first time, allow some time to get used to the shifter. The buttons have a very different feel and it does take a few hours in the saddle to get comfortable with it. Once you are though, shifting is fast, precise and crisp.
Showing the Foil's racing potential is a 53/39 double chainset, partnered with a 11-25t cassette. Make no mistake, this bike is clearly set up for blasting along fast roads at maximum speed, elbows tucked around your knees in the drops and keeping the speed high. It looks fast and certainly wants to ride fast.
The build kit is solid stuff for the money. It all wears the logo of Scott's Syncros component arm. The Syncros components are high quality parts: an aluminium stem with a four-bolt faceplate and a nicely shaped aluminium handlebar. I had to change the 11cm stem for a 12cm stem to get my desired reach. There are ample spacers on the steerer tube to allow you to tailor the height of the front, so there's scope to trim the steerer tube down once you've dialled your position and fit.
The carbon aero seatpost, unique to the Foil, wears the Ritchey label. It's manufactured by Ritchey to Scott's design and has a simple one-bolt clamp up top. The saddle is a Syncros item that has a very flat shape with a little recess along the middle. It's not an uncomfortable perch by any means, but is on the firm side.
Syncros supply the RR 2.0 wheelset, shod with Continental Ultra Race 23mm clincher tyres. They're not the lightest wheels at 1,720g for the pair, but do offer a slight aero performance gain with the 30mm semi-deep rim. The hubs are Scott's own CNC-machined items packed with DT Swiss internals, and laced to the rims with DT Swiss spokes, 20 radial in the front wheel and 24 in the rear wheel, radial and two-cross. They're a reasonably swift set of wheels when the momentum is on your side, but you can feel their weight on the steeper pitched climbs.
The complete weight for the Foil 15 is a competitive 7.52kg (16.57lb), giving you a fighting chance on the climbs. There's weight to be lost in a wheel upgrade down the line as well, and it wouldn't take much effort to get close to 7kg. But worrying about weight with the Foil is kind of missing the point of the bike, for there are more obvious choices if you're a weight weenie climber and want the lightest bike at this price. The Foil offers the aero performance with little discernable weight penalty.
Ride: Stiff all of the time
To describe the ride of the Foil in one word, I would plump for stiff. It's the first word on my lips at the beginning of a ride, and the last word on my lips when I returned home. The stiffness, in combination with the quick shifting Ultegra Di2 and fast wheels, makes for a compellingly fast bike. If speed and going fast is your main criteria when choosing a bike, the Foil needs to be on your shortlist.
On rides when you want to exploit its speed, and gain maximum acceleration through the bends and crest rises with ferocity, the Foil absolutely delivers. If you just want to ride fast, and fast all of the time, the Foil perfectly, brilliantly, exceptionally delivers.
But there's no off switch, it's all of nothing with the Foil. The fact the Foil was designed to offer excellent stiffness as well as aerodynamics shows clearly in the ride manners.
An upshot of the stiff tracking frame is how it responds to steering inputs. It's very direct and communicates clearly to you the condition of the road surface, and how much grip is available. On the descents, while not the fastest bike I've ridden, it tracks smartly and with great accuracy. It's also predictable and doesn't throw up any surprises in the handling department.
It's all kind of addictive if you crave going as fast as possible. As for the aero benefits of the frame, without our own wind-tunnel to test it, we have to go on seat of the bib shorts feel, and in this limited test it certainly delivers. Looking at some of my ride times on roads I've ridden a thousand times on many test bikes, the Foil shows a clear, but marginal, increase in average speeds.
But it is uncompromisingly stiff. It's stiff all of the time. When you want to settle down for a comfortable cruise through the lanes, the Foil bumps, jolts and jars over even the smallest imperfection in the Tarmac. Hit a crack or hole in the road and you'd better have a good grip on the handlebars. It's alarming at first, though you do become accustomed to it. But the feeling that it's just too stiff never leaves you.
If you like your bikes stiff, or you live somewhere where the roads are pimple free, if you're looking for a brutally quick and fast handling race bike, the Foil is hard to beat. But while the Foil may be faster in a wind tunnel, in real-world riding situations it's very hard to justify, and I feel that most people will be better served by something else.
Scott's Foil aero bike is impressively fast but its stiff ride won't suit everyone.

Nicely shaped handlebars but the stem was too short for me
Anything else you want to say about the componentry? Comment on any other components (good or bad)

Andy Hamilton
BB recently chatted to Andy and asked him for some juicy home-brewing tips and future projects
Much of your work in your books and your website Theotherandyhamilton.com is centred on making use of what you have in inventive, unexpected, and might I add damn tasty ways. What gives you the ideas? Are they the result of successful experiments or are you passing down older recipes?
It's a mixture of both really, often I'll see a recipe and think, "That looks good, I wonder if it will work with x ingredient instead". Then there are some old recipes that just work and are (as you say) damn tasty, it would always be a shame not to include these. Sometimes if the recipe is old it will need bringing up to date, the addition of yeast nutrient or cold tea can make all the difference. I also work by finding things whilst out foraging and knowing that I enjoy the flavour of them I then try and work out how they would work as a drink.
Ive made your nettle beer recipe quite a few times with amazing success very popular and a great mixer with cava to make hedgerow cocktails (dead posh!). However, on a last occasion I added too much yeast and the brew became pretty volatile, blowing the corks out of the bottles gushing it everywhere. What the worst mishap youve had with home brewing?
I suggest that you bottled too early with that one, rather than added too much yeast. A mistake that I made with elderberry wine a few years back when we lived in a rented house. Our then landlord, in his infinite wisdom, decided to paint the kitchen white. We protested as the house was damp and knew it would only be a matter of time before it looked grotty again. Well, that time arrived sooner than we thought. The day after it was painted I'd stacked 6 fresh bottles of my finest elderberry on the top of our shelves. We sat in the living room watching some telly and heard pop followed by a pouring sound. We ran into the kitchen to find a bottle had spurted its contents all over the ceiling and down the freshly painted walls, wine was dripping out of our cookbooks and my bread machine, which became a right off!
Other disasters have happened when I haven't sterilised properly, if there were any two bits of advice I could give to new booze makers it would be to bottle later and to sterilise everything.
With the success of River Cottage, What to eat now, wild food and similar, ideas about foraging natural foods and cooking up homegrown recipes seem very popular at the moment. Why do you think that is?
I think it depends on what you mean by popular, people do love reading about wild food, going on wild food courses and even sometimes eating it in restaurants but even people that come on my courses don't always apply the knowledge. There is still an idea that all wild food is poisonous or is covered in wee from a fictitious dog with a massive bladder. The thing that many people don't realise is that they are foragers and have been all of their lives, think about blackberries, I bet you have picked them and have done for years. If so then you are forager. I'd like to see people getting braver and perhaps foraging just some of the weeds in their gardens or allotments and using them in meals. Of course you do need to make sure that you know what you are doing but there is a lot of info out there.
Have you plans for another book? If so, can you share hints?
I have plans for many more books! I am currently writing just one of them, Brewing Britain - Search for the perfect pint*. It's due for release in the Autumn 2013. Its very different than anything I have written before and will have a lot more of me in it. Over this summer I have been sampling some of the best beer made in this country and believe me there is a lot of it around. This Autumn I am to become a Dad and so this is my final bout of freedom before I turn all responsible.
Once our boy is born, being housebound I'll be brewing on an almost daily bases. I'm building a small brewing area onto the side of my house and I'll be brewing up beers using knowledge gained from some of the best brewers in the world. As for hints, well I'd suggest that any beer brewer should do exactly as I have and try out as many beers as possible. Beer is amazing right now and it looks like it continues to do so. Don't go for fancy labels but do your research and look out for great artisan beer. What I'm discovering also is that its all about the yeast but you'll find out more next Autumn!
Finally, whats your best original recipe?
Sloe Whiskey
You might have tried sloe gin, but most other spirits can be used and the final results can transform that neglected Christmas present left at the back of the drinks cabinet. This recipe uses Whiskey.
450g Sloes
225g Sugar
1 litre Whiskey
1 drop of almond essence
Put half the sloes and half the sugar into a sterilized kilner jar ensuring that the sloes have been left in the freezer overnight. Pour over half a litre of the whiskey and the drop of almond essence and shake vigorously. Place the jar in the tea cupboard and shake every time you make a cuppa. Repeat until the sugar has completely dissolved. Then shake every couple of weeks for three to six months. After this time decant back into the bottle and try and leave until this time next year by which point it will be delicious.
