There are neighborhoods in the far reaches of New York City, from Tottenville on Staten Island to Bushwick in Brooklyn, that have about as much in common with the glimmering, candy-coated Manolo Blahnik world of "Sex and the City" as, say, East Texas.
As the film version of the popular television series opens on Friday, it is easy to imagine that it would not resonate very loudly in those neighborhoods, nor in places like Harlem and central Brooklyn, where more than one-quarter of residents live below the federal poverty line (which ranges from about $10,000 for individuals to about $20,000 for a family of four). But the reality, based on interviews on the streets, is that "Sex and the City" has secured a coterie of devoted fans of all backgrounds and income levels — a vast majority of them female.
It resonates, some said, as a soap opera with likable characters, as a study in very real issues of finding — or not finding — the perfect mate, and even as an anthropological fashion guide to the romantic world of New York. Indeed, many who were interviewed around the boroughs said they had become as enthralled by the lives of the four fictional female characters as any Manhattanite who summers in the Hamptons, sips $15 cosmopolitans and rocks Dolce & Gabbana and Jimmy Choos.
One perhaps unsurprising statistical blip in the hugely unscientific study: Most of the men who were interviewed denied having ever watched the show, or said they had done so sporadically, and then, only at the urging of a wife or girlfriend.
So, back to the women.
Carmen Cruz, 25, works at the Make-Over Beauty Salon in Bushwick, where her mother is the manager and her 2-year-old daughter, Luisa Maria, has free rein.Continue reading the main story
Ms. Cruz's hair, piled high atop her head, is dyed burgundy and cut in front at a rakish angle. Her eyebrows are plucked thin and dyed to match. She wore skinny black jeans and gold-colored flip-flops, along with a cream-colored blazer with exposed seams and lace, embroidered at the edges with sequins and pearl white and baby blue beads.
She spoke of how glamorous the life of the characters in "Sex and the City" seemed when she first watched the program in Santiago, in the Dominican Republic, where it is called "Sexo en la Ciudad."
"The women — they're lovely," Ms. Cruz said in Spanish, as Luisa Maria squirmed in her arms. "They're not too young. I like their hairstyles — I adore the color of the redhead's hair," she said, pointing to her own hair and explaining that it was a cover-up for a botched bleach job. "Watching the show you learn a lot, about how to dress. The jobs may be different, the cultures, but you can adapt them. You can find an article of clothing to match."
Some said they loved the fantasy aspects of the characters' lifestyles, in which the stars go to parties every night, wear $1,000 heels and designer dresses, and date rich and handsome men with names like "Mr. Big."
"I think the 'Sex and the City' women do portray the single life in New York City for the most part," said Alkia Thompson, a 36-year-old single woman who lives in Harlem and plans to see the movie Friday night. " 'Sex and the City' is my little fantasy. When I watch it, it gives me a chance to get away from everyday life. I can escape into their world.
"I mean, who can afford Jimmy Choos? I can't even afford one pair! But the way New York City is changing now, you're going to need a lot of money to live here. I don't mind changes like this, but I don't like the fact that people are being pushed out."
Sung ea Parke, a 33-year-old married Korean immigrant who works in a dry cleaner in Jackson Heights, Queens, said her existence could hardly be more different than the lives of Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and especially Samantha, a devotee of no-commitment sex.
"I've never experienced that kind of lifestyle, but the drama of the show is very interesting and very funny," she said. "I've seen every show. I understand that kind of life, but I cannot live it. I am married."
Monique Marshall, 18, who attends Brooklyn College, was putting her clothes into a washing machine at a coin laundry at St. Johns Place and Nostrand Avenue in Crown Heights when she was asked whether her friends were talking about the movie.
" 'Sex and the City' is as big in Crown Heights as any other neighborhood," said Ms. Marshall, who was born in Jamaica.
Ms. Marshall, herself in a "Sex and the City"-style quandary related to two men she is dating, said the series represented real life: "Not every aspect, like shopping and all that, but the personal problems."
Like most of the women who talked about the series, Ms. Marshall said the friendships among the women and the relationship problems they had with men were what had pulled her in. And like many others, she said she overlooked the fact that the series featured few immigrants or minorities.
"Race," she said, "is not a factor. It's a girl thing."
Lorraine McKenna, a 38-year-old immigrant from Ireland who works in Woodside, Queens, said the show had encouraged women to be more independent and helped change social mores. "It used to be that if you weren't married by 30 you were cast out by society, but now it has become more acceptable to still be single," she said. "You don't have to live by society's rules anymore. This is the same for Ireland, too. I think women stay single longer for a mix of reasons. Most people want to meet someone. It's not hard to meet people in New York, it's just hard to keep them."
In Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, best known in movie lore as the working-class home of Tony Manero in another New York film, "Saturday Night Fever," Mike Leonard, 24, the manager of a pet food store, said he was no fan of "Sex and the City."
"I know of it," he said. "My ex-girlfriend watched it like it was the only thing to do." He said he would most likely see the movie, however, but only to try to score a date.
At a nearby Starbucks, two pharmacists, Rania Alkhoury, who immigrated from Syria, and Aysegul Varnatopu, who was born in Turkey, were having coffee as they made plans to see the movie. "I watched it here because it's all about New York and the city," said Ms. Varnatopu, 27. "You really fall in love with the city. I had every DVD."
When asked her age, Ms. Alkhoury, who was modestly dressed in black pants and a white sweater — looking very much the restrained opposite of the movie's characters — laughed and demurred: "What would Samantha say? I'm trying to figure out a nice answer that doesn't answer. O.K., late 30s."
Ms. Alkhoury even has a favorite quotation. "My favorite line that I always remember is 'Hello, lover,' when Carrie's looking at the shoes," she said.
On the street, a question about the movie set off an impromptu debate between two women who declined to give their names, but argued whether the movie might send young girls the wrong message: "that it's O.K. to go to bed so easily," said the first woman, who described herself as being in her 60s.
"Yeah, but I feel young people understand that," said the second, who is 71. "My husband didn't like it. He said he'd lock up his daughter till she was 40. It's just a movie. Everybody wants to get married eventually. Girls haven't changed that much from 1956. They're just a little freer because of birth control."
"But there's no way the men will want to marry them," said the first.
"When I grew up, there were promiscuous girls," the second woman said. "It's not anything new. If you're going to be promiscuous, it doesn't start from a movie, it starts from home."
"I think they're giving the wrong idea that it's O.K. to have free sex," the first woman said. "I think it's O.K. to meet a nice guy, have sex and get married. Just not with 101 guys."
The second one said: "My husband thought these girls were too crazy. I said, 'Well, go watch your ballgame.' "Continue reading the main story

Labels -
Every year improves the grade of the labels on all kinds of food and other grocery items, and by judicious purchases of suitable packages and good arrangement on the shelves, the appearance of a store can be very much improved. Some standard goods are put up under very plain labels, generally the original designs under which they were first sold, but poor labels, and especially those of slovenly appearance, generally indicate equal neglect in preparing the contents.
A dealer who desires to build up a lasting trade should never allow a misleading label to bear the name of his establishment - if it is not "Pure Maple syrup," be wise and honest at the same time and label it "Prime syrup - Maple Flavor." Loud colors and flashy designs offend the best buyers, and with the present facilities for color-printing and good artistic designs there is no excuse for a label less creditable than the article which it covers. The American Grocer says: "Some manufacturers have taken a very brave and commendable stand in this matter by so defining their products that the exact character is indicated on the label. When, for instance, honeycomb has been put up in jars with corn syrup, the fact of its presence and the reason therefor has been stated on the package. Where a preservative has been used, this has been indicated. Such a course clears the atmosphere and begets confidence all around."
Experience teaches that consumers are quick to decide whether an article is wholesome or not, and if the exact nature of a food product is defined, a conclusion is much sooner reached than if its true character is concealed. A manufacturer should not be required to disclose formulas, and it is a question whether he should be obliged to make known the character of special products, if they are not prejudicial to health; but so long as there are questions in dispute, the easiest way and best way is to be frank with the public and to win confidence by plainly stating on the label the true character of the product.

Qvidian Proposal Automation Reviews Recently Reviewed!
I have used Qvidian for several years as a RFP writer and as a content administrator.
Likely Extremely
Pros: I love how they are continually improving their product. The search feature is very intuitive. If you can use google, you can use Qvidian to find anything you need in your database. The software is learning from my search behaviors and my most frequently used content, based on search terms, is the first records that are listed in my results. Once you have set-up your database with your content, we have easily been able to use it for 70%-80% of our RFP responses. It has greatly sped up our RFP process.
Cons: I would like it to be easier to customize users authorities. We have a few on-off users that need access to only certain areas and it hasn't been easy to give them access to only certain folders, and not allow them to see other libraries. I wish there was a true user's guide for quick reference. Sometimes I don't have time or want to try to find an answer in the community forum. I feel like they do not have a user guide because they want to sell their training.
Overall: Increased productivity when replying to RFPs. Better responses where we can see the history of the edits. Easier SME reviews.
Mostly perfect
Comments: Qvidian excels in several areas:
Organization - Qvidian uses a folder tree layout with user-created top-level categories that can then be branched out into more in depth subcategories. Each folder also shows the number of records it contains.
Searching - Qvidian uses a Google-like approach to searching. When a user searches for a term or phrase, if the correct record is found and used, then the search term the user had typed in is added to the meta data of that record. In the future, when that same term or phrase is searched again, the record(s) containing that search term appears closer to the top of the search results.
Editing - Two choices are offered for editing records, both of which utilize integration with Microsoft Word. In the first choice, records are edited one at a time as separate documents. This allows editing of both the record and its corresponding meta data. The second editing choice allows a user to edit multiple records in one document. However, this does not allow editing of records' meta data. This trade off does allow for easier editing of multiple records at once, though, since a user can utilize Word's various comparison tools.
There are a couple of areas where Qvidian could use some improvement.
Feature regression - The editing option that puts multiple records into one document had always been present in Qvidian; however, when the multi-edit feature that only allows editing one record at a time was released in version 9.1, the original editing functionality was removed. This caused me a lot of frustration, as it severely slowed down my work flow since I could now only see and edit one record at a time. It wasn't until a year later when version 10 was released that the old editing functionality was added back.
Server side requests ' In the latest version, Qvidian handles all user requests on its own servers instead of on the user's PC. Depending on the number of records, this can be very quick (a few seconds) or very long (I've waited up to 20 minutes before) depending on how taxed Qvidian's servers currently are. I understand the reasoning behind the move, in that it takes the load off of a user's computer so that other applications they currently have open aren't affected by added memory usage, but in practice I find that it only slows down my workflow. Any somewhat modern PC shouldn't have any trouble handling a large report request from Qvidian.
Great for RFPs
Likely Extremely
Pros: Qvidian is a great tool to utilize for RFPs. The database content is easily updated and searchable. It also has a plugin for Microsoft word, which allows you to easily transfer the response to your RFP document. You can build an entire RFP in the actual tool itself.
Qvidian also lets you assign and track RFPs, giving your team access to each other's RFPs should the need arise where someone has to finish out one.
Cons: The first con I have is a minor one, as the search function is highly customizable, but the buttons are grey/green. For color blind people, this can cause some confusion.
The second con is that although keeping track of responses and uploading them are easy, you will need licenses for your SMEs if you would like for them to update thier portions. Business-wise, I do not blame them for this move, but most companies are not buying licenses just for SMEs.
Excellent product. Requires a commitment.
Comments: Qvidian Proposal Automation (QPA) is an excellent content repository. It's browser-based cloud library is excellent for organizations who have workforces who occasionally work remotely without direct access to a network drive.
The user-interface is intuitive and it allows for excellent customization in order to be tuned to your specific needs. The organization itself also has an incredible commitment to continuous improvement and their consistent attempts to develop and improve their technology is noticeable and appreciated. The system continues to improve and evolve over time with improvements that are obviously created in direct response to customer feedback.
Lastly, QPA is very good at highlighting for you (almost without even trying) where your processes lack the necessary organization to function...
Objectively, there are two things that every company considering Qvidian should know:
1) Take the implementation slowly. I don't think Qvidian has nailed this process yet. The implementation process ran over a few months when honestly, it probably should have been various components phased in over the course of a year. That's not to say it's overly complicated, it's not. But it will result in a number of process changes for your staff and asking them to adjust to all of those changes simultaneously is something I wouldn't recommend.
2) It's time consuming. This is a bit of a double-edged sword. The honest truth is that managing QPA is a very time-consuming endeavor and if you don't have a dedicated resource, you're likely to struggle with the maintenance of your content. That sounds bad, but really, this fact is true whether you are using QPA or not. Having this system in place helps clarify for you exactly what you are and are not doing, which is actually more of a positive than a negative...but...
With those warnings issued, I must say that I absolutely recommend using Qvidian and QPA. It's a wonderful product that will push your organization forward if you make the commitment to leveraging it's capabilities.
Great Proposal Automation Tool & Keeps Improving
Comments: Our company has been utilizing the Proposal Automation for over 5 years and have seen dramatic improvements that have positioned Qvidian as a leader, unrivaled.
Qvidians Content Library - easy to manage content and make your content easily accessible to the organization
Architecting New Document Types - creating new documents is easy to do, making sales enablement and aligning content to your organizations sales cycle extremely easy
Significant Updates - over the past several years, our organization has been thrilled with the consistent updates that have made major impacts to those who utilize the tool as well as those who are administrators
Roles - we have been able to create custom experiences for our users so that they aren't needlessly distracted by content or document types that are not relevant to them
Customization - able to customize roles, search experiences and links for users, as well as branding
Customer Service - Qvidian has been out to visit us to get feedback on their products, and we have seen the fruits of that feedback consistently over the past couple years with updates
Branding: This is minor to our organization, but I do wish more branding options existed
Reporting: Customizing reporting can be challenging, though Qvidian has been accommodating, it'd be nice to be able to customize without knowing coding. (I do think that major updates are coming for reporting). One of the recent enhancements this past year with event auditing, really expanded what the system captures, so that was a major improvement
Qvidian's Proposal Automation has made our organization more efficient. Understanding the system and how to make it work for your organization is key. Attending their conferences is important, but even if you can't do that, they provide a knowledge bank on their website and have excellent trainers who can support optimizing QPA for your group. Each year we review other technologies, and each year we come back to QPA.
Long Time RFP Writer Highly Recommends
Likely Extremely
Pros: Working within Qvidian and using their auto-fill technology has really sped up the proposal process in terms of searching and applying content.
Cons: As it's a very robust tool, it's a bit complicated or difficult to stay up to date with all of their functionality. I was primarily using it as a database but am beginning to learn and use more of the features although I still have much to learn
Overall: It has cut down on the amount of time it takes for me to complete searching for RFP responses which used to be very time consuming and streamlines the process for sending questions to SMEs and import responses.
Intuitive proposal management and content software.
Likely Extremely
Pros: The folder structure is very easy to navigate and makes it easy for anyone who is used to this type of organizational style to transition onto the platform. The customer support was fantastic - when I decided to purchase the Qvidian software for my organization, Qvidian assigned an account manager who onboarded my organization and spent hours conducting training sessions with a coworker and myself.
Cons: At times managing styles is extremely time-consuming and is complicated to set up in the first place, and if not done correctly in the first place it can cause a lot of problems downstream when snagging content from the system.
Qvidian Helps to Streamline RFPs
Likely Extremely
Pros: I love the search functionality! I just highlight keywords in the RFP, hit the Qvidian search button and it brings up matching responses.
Cons: It's not compatible with Excel yet although I believe that upgrade is coming. I need to save the questions to Word and convert the finished Excel document to Word to upload into the database.
Overall: Streamlines the RFP process.
Qvidian allows for the organization and reuse of RFP answers.
Likely Extremely
Pros: The metadata fields are flexible and easy to use. The folder structure can be modified at any time. The editing function works. The customer service is helpful and concerned about answering needs.
Cons: You must use a Word add-in to edit. The self-training materials leave out important definitions and/or steps.
We have used Qvidian for the past two years and have been quite pleased with our usage.
Pros: What I like the most about Qvidian is that you can set up your own templates for Word or Excel. I also like the intuitive search functionality.
Cons: There isn't much I don't really like. I wish SMEs didn't have to have a license to be able to use some of the features.
I utilize QVidian as a RFP response repository.
Pros: QVidian's ability to interact with Microsoft products like Word and Excel saves me a lot of copying and pasting. With QVidian, I can insert standard responses with a click. It also allows you to save a format, so you don't have to worry about style formatting.
Cons: Minor complaint, some of the search options are colored coded. For color blind people, it will be hard for them to distinguish which filters are on.
Qvidian - Great Content Management Tool
Likely Extremely
Pros: - excellent content management system
- great customer service
- ease of use
Cons: none that i can think of so far
Overall: It has been excellent so far. Coming into my area of work, we did not have a method of consolidating our content while managing proposals/RFPs, everybody sort "had" the content in their own personal laptops which made getting up to date content from experts extremely difficult. Qvidian has taken away all those challenges
Recommendations to other buyers: It's a great tool to have as an added on extension of your company, especially for Project Managers. Once you begin to use it a rely on it, it makes work effortless (your not chasing people down on a daily basis). That time can be devoted to other endeavours.
Qvidian Playbooks help increase rep productivity
Likely Extremely
Pros: The software allows us to serve up content in context to where the seller's opportunity is within the sales process. The sellers do not need to waste time searching sites to find the right content, it is served up to them dynamically and when it is meaningful. Qvidian as a company is fantastic to work with. We have engaged with all areas from Professional Services, Development, Marketing and the like and everyone is on board to make their customer's successful!
Cons: It took us a while to master the rules but nothing that would prevent me from purchasing again.
Recommendations to other buyers: Talk to other users as there are many ways to implement.
Good Tool
Likely Extremely
Pros: Good tool for storing and responding to RFPs. Great collaboration and keyword searching capabilities.
Cons: Lot of human intervention is needed in order to fully utilize all features and functionalities of this tool.
Great Product!
Likely Extremely
Pros: It is easy to use and organize all of your data. I use it as a question/answer database for multiple different lines of business and have no issues with making different folders to organize.
Cons: Sometimes it's annoying how I have to think of "synonyms" of words to try and find the answers I am looking for. But.. I don't think that's the software's fault.
Qvidian delivers on all my requirements
Comments: New and prospective users should consider joining the Qvidian User Community and review the discussions, knowledge base, training, etc. Also, visit the Learning Resources videos, which demonstrate the product at a more practical than typical demos.
Qvidian is very responsive to customer ideas in adding requested features when possible, including some I suggested. The biggest change I'd like at this stage of my association with the product is the provision of simple, license-free (within the enterprise) access to the content database. The current seat license model does not enable casual users' introduction to and exploration of the product.
Our initial business problem was replacement of the Pragmatech RFP Machine content library. We've successfully used Qvidian as a global resource for about three years.
Within the past year, our sales force asked if we also had the capability to support "point-and-click" proposals such as available at other companies. Qvidian enabled us to provide that capability with Proposal Automation.
We're now piloting workflow management capabilities with initial good results.
Please note that this is a review, not an endorsement by myself or my organization.
Class of it's own - Qvidian is the premier content management system and proposal automation tool!
Comments: Pros - Qvidian has made significant improvements over the past 5 years based on feedback from clients like myself. This has been hugely satisfying to be one of their clients. They have a customer community that promotes knowledge sharing and helps shorten the learning curve for new users.
Qvidian initially was our proposal automation tool and because of the enhancements from a content library perspective, we have been able to broaden our use to include content management. You have flexibility to create custom meta data, allowing you to customize what you want to track on each content item. It makes classifying your content easy.
Cons - Enhancements are coming that address these items, but I would say automating the tracking process for approvals is a huge thing for our organization, but as I said in my previous comments, Qvidian is already working on addressing this.
Qvidian offers best-in-class proposal support
Comments: The tool is well suited for situations where qualitative content needs to be centralized and updated regularly. There could even be opportunities for centralizing quantitative content. When researching similar tools, one should inquire about typical database logic and organization, which Qvidian does well. Technical compatibility and support is also an important consideration.
Qvidian Proposal Automation (QPA) is our RFP Team's primary source for standard proposal language. We have one administrator of the tool who interacts with internal Subject Matter Experts to update standard content on a regular basis. We use QPA as a content warehouse, but it does have more advanced functionality that can respond to RFPs in an automated fashion. However, the warehouse functionality has expanded to include our qualitative content for consultant databases.
Qvidian Makes Great Strides
Comments: Qvidian Proposal Automation has made itself known to me as an excellent tool time and time again. Following the 10.0 now 10.1 upgrade, I was astonished how much it could improve. The tool is a wonderful house for all Q&A used when writing proposals. The library setup makes it easy to find anything I'm looking for.
I am currently undertaking a database refresh and being able to send Q&A to subject matter experts (SMEs) and track their progress makes my life 10x easier. I can easily stay on top of this task and know what to expect from each SME.
Prior to the 10.1 upgrade, I would receive an unnecessary dialogue box when searching using Chrome. I expressed my concern and was immediately helped.
Qvidian couldn't have better customer service, in my opinion. A great resource and a great company.
Qvidian is an excellent tool for proposal management and organization
Comments: I really like that we, the writers of proposals day in and day out can easily organize, add and edit content in a folder structure that makes sense to our business. In addition to the vast knowledge base that Qvidian supports, it also helps us manage our proposals. Responders can be assigned to their questions easily and effortlessly. At any time, anyone involved in the proposal can see what questions remain unanswered, those pending acceptance and those acceptance. You can also filter the questions to those assigned to use. This allows me to work efficiently and at my pace. Others can work on their responses independently and we don't have to worry about sharing documents back and forth. Editing is done with the Qvidian addins for Microsoft Word.
Complex Architecting Successful through Effective Project Management
Comments: Our corporate visual identity standards and proposal templates created complex Word style requirements and Qvidian artchitecting challenges. Alongside our Qvidian project manager, we successfully converted our PowerPoint templates to a Word format consistent with our needs and desired level of quality. Without the support, guidance, and flexibility of our project manager this wouldn't have been possible. We were impressed that Qvidian committed to supporting our needs, listened to our concerns, and guided us to the right solution. Additionally, they were available to answer our questions throughout the development process.
Helpful Proposal and Presentation Source
Comments: I like Qvidian, although there could be improvements on the Ease of Use. Some of the steps aren't always easy to recognize. But the learning curve does seem to get better with each upgrade. I'm usually pretty good with software and figuring out how it works, and sometimes it takes me a while to figure out some of the steps with this. I do think it's a great way to store information, and I love that you can download individual responses or an entire group of responses, depending on how you upload your information.
First Time User Finds Go-To Resource
Comments: I joined my department not too long ago and began to get familiar with the content my team had loaded into Qvidian. Having a good portion of the entire group's knowledge at my fingertips has been invaluable. Being able to pre-populate answers immediately saves time and ensures consistency across responses. I have found the search functionality a little quirky, but others on my team have gotten quite good at finding what they're looking for quickly. Qvidian has been a valuable tool for us and will continue to be.
Effective Work-Tool
Comments: I find Qvidian to be an effective work-tool. The 'Google' like search engine is a favored feature and having the ability to setup folders within the library allows for ease of viewing and maintaining content. I particularly like the ability to create saved searches based on certain criteria. There are a few features I would like to have a better understanding of such as 'linking content'. I'm hopeful this will be touched upon in more detail at the conference.
We've learned so much!
Comments: Qvidian forced us to reevaluate some things and change some others. But in this - we've learned so much in a positive way. Many new ideas have spawned, and will continue to develop over time as we continue to integrate our templates and processes into this truly capable tool. Qvidian's capabilities are diverse and robust and will provide continue to provide solutions that we can't yet even foresee. All the while, the documents it outputs look fantastic and are easy to manage.
Qvidian, is easy to use. It is very intuitive. The new library is much better than the classic lib
Likely Extremely
Cons: It is not possible to recover deleted content. To do so you need to go thru support and request it.
Overall: Qvidian, is easy to use. It is very intuitive. The new library is much better than the classic library
Great Qvidian Support Team
Comments: The Support Team at Qvidian really live by the word support. Being in India we get a 24/7/365 days of support and the best part is i have seen even once in these 3 years 5 months i have been working with the support at Qvidian ,that they are not helpful.They are always there to help you.
Whether it is helping on the product usage
Taking the technical details to their dev team
Giving any information by escalating it to proper stakeholder.
Keep it up Qvidian Support!
Good to help answer the RFPs quicker
Likely Extremely
Comments: It is easy to use. It is very intuitive. You can build custom reports and have content in multiple languages. It has many other features that I have not use yet.
Great Sales Automation Tool
Comments: I have used Qvidian for almost two years now and couldn't see myself doing my job without it. It's very easy to navigate and download the specific inforamtion I need for proposals, presentation and RFPs. custoemr service has always been prompt and follows-through. Often times it does move a little slow (not sure if thats their servers or ours) which is why I have it rated 4 stars overall.
Great for maintaining proposal content
Comments: We are using Qvidian Proposal Automation (QPA) software. This program has assisted us with maintaining a library of standard content used in our proposal responses. We are currently updating and expanding our library content and then we plan on digging deeper QPA to use some of the great features for automating additional steps in our proposal process.
Qvidian Database Review
Comments: I have been using Qvidian for over a year now and it is essential in performing my day-to-day tasks. We fill out questionnaires for Request for Proposals and without Qvidian populating these questionnaires would take much more time. At times Qvidian can be slow (start to clock) but other than that I find it more and more useful as time goes on.
Great tool that has improved efficiency!
Comments: I've had a unique experience with Qvidian because I'm an intern at my organization. I learned Qvidian as I learned about the financial services industry and it has been immensely helpful in this respect. The tech support staff were amazing and were able to help me with all of my questions. Would definitely recommend this tool!
Great program for RFPs
Comments: Qvidian has helped me in getting my content library under control with folders, lists of updates/versions, and owners. There's also metadata, which I'm just beginning to explore. The support staff is great, and while I haven't fully automated the RFP process yet, I'm looking forward to it.
Easy to use
Comments: I started with a new company in June 2014 and had never used Qvidian. With the help of more experienced co-workers, I quickly learned how easy it was to search and locate responses in our database. I've used other proposal automation software in the past and Qvidian is by far one of the easiest to use.
More than a RFP Tool
Comments: Qvidian in my company is the considered the holy grail. From developing proposals, answering RFPs, stats, security questions, messaging, content development all start with my Qvidian solution. The tool has allowed me to become an integral part of our company's success. Thank you Qvidian!!!
Effective resource
Comments: Qvidian is a great work tool for completing plan sponsor requests. I like the ability to create frequently used response into one document. As a manager, I find my team can easily manipulate the tool to provide most up to date responses.
Great rfp management product
Likely Extremely
Comments: I love the software. It's easy to use once you've been trained. The implementation and subsequent training is great and the staff is wth you all the way.
Great tool for managing proposal content
Comments: Qvidian is a great tool for managing all of our content for proposals. We don't use it for producing proposals because we do alot of custom work. I like the feature that allows you to send content to a contact for an update. I also like the fact that there are many ways to do the same thing.

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
So good.
At the end of A Court Of Thorns and Roses, I was crushing on Rhysand. This book here, reiterates why crushing on him is a wise choice.
Although this story was up and down, in the end it was quite a ride.
Love, intrigue, excitement, adventure, they all play a part. The love scenes are something else though. If you are into hot, graphic sex scenes, then you better buckle up for this book! It has all that and more! I had a couple of moments where my mouth was like wide open... yeah, I would rather gore than sex, but that's me.
Fighting scenes were okay, but I could have used a lot more detail or grit. I don't know. The main focus of the story was war and mating. The latter was done quite well.
I'm thinking the next book will have what I need. With the main character in a position to add all the exciting elements I look for, I will be disappointed if it goes otherwise.
Still a decent series. It's faeries, so what's not to like?!

Car Video: Oversteer
Can You Still Buy a Good Car For Only $500?
As I write about my latest purchase for Oversteer, I find myself procrastinating by Googling "How to control impulsive behavior," and I've diagnosed myself with "Compulsive Buying Disorder." The disorder is not only classified for people who are constantly buying items well beyond their financial means, but also for individuals who spend an inordinate amount of time shopping without purchasing anything. So if you're the type of person that spends hours a day just looking at cars online, you might be almost as sick as me.
I'm so far gone at this point that only a lobotomy could stop the madness. But my itch has been scratched for now -- this time for only $500. And as you can see in the video, I got something really nice!
It's a 1993 Lincoln Town Car Jack Nicklaus Special Edition. Lincoln gave the hottest golfer at the time creative license to design his own signature Town Car, and he decided to bring the golf course inside the car. The leather seats are white like a golfer's glove, the door speakers are covered in a fuzzy material like a dust cover for golf clubs, and the plush carpeted floors are GREEN. Yes, as green as the perfectly manicured fairways at the Pebble Beach Golf Links.
This makes it one of the strangest special edition cars ever made, but maybe not the strangest Lincoln. Several designers have given their treatment to big Lincolns, such as fashion designer Bill Blass, who, in the late 1970s, must have been trolling Lincoln owners by designing his land yacht with a nautical theme.
So when I saw this Lincoln sitting in reject row at the auction, I did a double take. I first noticed the unusual wheels, then the funky Golden Bear logo (Nicklaus' brand) on the fenders. Once I opened the door and saw the green carpet, I knew I had to buy it.
It didn't matter that the car refused to idle, would misfire violently under acceleration, and none of the windows worked and it was incrediby dirty ... this junkie had found his latest fix.
Turns out I was the only person in the world that wanted it. I couldn't personally attend the auction, so I asked a friend to watch it for me and bid on my behalf. He got distracted and missed it rolling across the auction block -- but it didn't sell. The Lincoln didn't even get a single bid. My friend was able to track down the seller after the auction to make a deal -- and I was the proud new owner of Jack, as I've unimaginatively named him, for only $500.
As I suspected, fixing the runability issue was easy. By disconnecting the mass airflow meter, it sent the motor into a default mode, and it ran great. A new airflow meter permanently solved the problem, making it a totally usable driver. Next was addressing the windows: When I looked into it, I discovered all four window mechanisms had somehow failed. For now, I've only replaced the fronts.
Other than the dead AC and rear windows, everything else works fantastic. The air ride rear suspension ensures that my Town Car floats down the road, the lumbar support still pumps up in the pillowtop seats, and the smooth V8 doesn't have any leaks. Other than a small divot I accidentally put in the roof while making this video, the body is free of any rust or damage. It's shocking how good this car is.
I thought the cash for clunkers program had killed off bargains like this, but I guess there are still good cars that can be found for less than a few hours with a psychiatrist. What a great way to manage my newly diagnosed disorder.

Anxieteam curated a mini festival of upbeat, electronic-tinged bands at the popular Ludlow St snug Cakeshop.
Audio delights promised a return good energy and wide toothy grins on the Lower East side, collecting together a new wave of young bands emerging from the gloomy downturn of the late Noughties with vim, brilliance and reliance.
See a video taken from the performance here.
Anxieteam is the new collaboration of internationally renown artists Jim Avignon (Germany) and Jon Burgerman (UK). Splicing together merry pop melodies coupled with dry, sardonic lyrics, Anxieteam masterfully coax audiences into their colourful, bouncy world of catchy songs about modern day anxieties, longing and salads. 'Let's Eat Soya' is their ridiculously infectious, anthemic dance declaration of smutty love in a meat-free-world whereas the Creedence Clearwater Revival sample heavy 'I've Forgotten' is a curiously blazing rock-workout response to CCR's popular 'Susie Q'.
Accompanying Anxieteam was the indie boy, loop-based R&B of Rifle Recoil, the stuttering, sultry, soulful grooves of Peach and the twinkling digital dreamscapes of NY based Dorako.
A small selection of merchandise was available on the night…

Remember I just bought these:
Pretty bad, huh? Well I popped in an episode of Grimm, got my trusty Bar Keeper's Friend and set to it.
End product:
Pretty swell huh?
I really need to buy the liquid version of Bar Keeper's Friend because the powder one is tough to maintain consistency on when cleaning so much stuff. Plus cleaning gets boring and my second to last plate looked like this:
Unfortunately by the last one I'd gotten even lazier:
I had to re-clean that one.
Anyone know where I can find the liquid version of Bar Keeper's Friend? Amazon will only let me buy it as an add-on item, which is ridiculous. It costs $8 and I can order plenty of cheaper stuff as standalone items, so why not this?
I'm telling everyone at Thrifty Thursday all about this again.

Prior to Christmas, an English family flew from the U.K. to Seattle, rented a car there and drove to Whistler. After 13 or 14 hours of travel they arrived, only to find that there was no one around to check them into their hotel. They ended up sleeping in the lobby that night.
The problems with WhistlerÕs strata-titled hotels and multiple property managers in the same building have been well documented, and in fact that was one of the main topics at a special Tourism Whistler meeting about three years ago. The situation has gotten better Ð thereÕs now a company in town that provides front desk service for condo-hotels 24 hours a day Ð but thereÕs still room for improvement.
But itÕs not just hotel check in. ThereÕs the shop employee who doesnÕt have proper training, or may be the only employee trying to deal with eight customers at once. ThereÕs the machine thatÕs out of order, and no matter how many times you come back to use it itÕs not fixed.
These are the type of problems WhistlerÕs business leaders have made special efforts to address in the last 12 months, following consecutive years of declining visitor numbers. As Tourism Whistler board chair Rick Clare told Pique last month: "The last two years are not an anomaly, this is the reality. We canÕt blame everything on September 11 th and a higher dollar. The problem is that we havenÕt kept our service standards up with the pricing of our product."
Last summer Tourism Whistler announced its "value" campaign, which included lower prices and discount packages for early bookings. Whistler-Blackcomb got on board with a variety of pass options, particularly for regional skiers and boarders, at reduced prices. But despite these efforts, and a record week between Christmas and New YearÕs, Whistler has a ways to go to get back to the numbers of four years ago. In fact, much has changed in the first few years of the new millennium.
Statistics Canada recently released numbers that show total international tourism fell 1.2 per cent in 2003. Most of the reasons for tourismÕs global decline are well known: 9/11, travel fears, SARS etc.
Locally, the situation is mixed. The Christmas period was good but the early bookings for Altitude, the annual gay and lesbian ski week in February, are down. Organizers cite costs and increasing competition for the gay travel market as reasons for the decline. Bookings for the gay ski week in Aspen are similarly slower than in previous years. The worldÕs largest gay cruise is competition for both gay ski weeks.
As the gay market illustrates, the competition for vactionersÕ dollars Ð not just skiersÕ dollars Ð is increasing, particularly in British Columbia with the government encouraging expansion of resorts. Competition is not a bad thing; it should lead to increased levels of service and value. But everyone in Whistler has to understand that we are in a competitive business. What was good enough last year may not be good enough this year.
One of the factors in people choosing to go to one mountain resort over another is ease of access, and for the foreseeable future getting to Whistler may not be as easy as getting to some other resort areas. Highway construction will continue for the next four or five years, which will mean delays and increased travel time for much of the year. Passenger train travel to Whistler wonÕt start until the spring of 2006 and scheduled commercial or charter flights into the Pemberton Airport, or any other regional airport, are still at the discussion stage.
Add to this snowfall accumulations that make this January look like November and a tropical monsoon in the middle of the FIS Snowboard World Championships, the biggest snow event Whistler will hold prior to the Olympics, and itÕs easy to be discouraged.
But there is plenty of room for optimism, too. The provincial economy is growing; the 2010 Olympics are on the horizon; Whistler is still much more of a year-round destination than most B.C. mountain resorts; and most of WhistlerÕs problems are solvable. But it starts with everyone in Whistler Ð including landlords, ski bums and construction workers Ð realizing that we are in this together and acknowledging that the tourism landscape has changed in the 21st century.

Partnership Development
Tynemouth Priory Partnership
We don't just belong to our parish; not only are we are linked very closely with the Diocese but also with the newly formed partnership. Each partnership is made up of a group of existing parishes agreeing to work together to share resources, both human and material, to become stronger and better equipped for furthering the Kingdom of God into the future. As of July 2017 we are now part of the Tynemouth Priory Partnership comprising of:
Wallsend Sunday Mass times will be as follows:
This effectively means that one priest can cover the three Masses in an emergency. All three parishes therefore have been affected as a result of the Mass time changes. The hope has to be that the respective congregations will really pull out the stops and make these changes work.
For further information please see Fr John with any enquiries or contact us here
Risen Christ,
from your abundant grace,
pour out afresh your Holy Spirit upon our Diocese.
As we build on the deep foundations of faith
laid by the countless saints of these Northern lands,
by Aidan and Cuthbert, Hilda and Bede,
may our Partnerships continue the mission
of building your Kingdom on the earth:
to give living witness to your love,
and to your compassion and hope for our world.
We pray in trustful confidence
that your power working in us
can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine.
Through the same Christ our Lord.

The pollution was made of different hydrocarbon products (diesel, jet fuels, heavy fuels…) and the concentrations levels rose from 2,000 to 30,000 mg/kg TPH.
The target levels to be reached were determined according to the definition of a Hazard Index calculated in function of risk analysis and the impact of each contaminant on human health.
To have a limited environmental impact, all soil have to be treated on site, that's means no soil can be treated outside in landfill for example.
Based on SUEZ experience, a strategy has been defined including environmental impact and cost effective.
Biological treatment by "land farming" and by air injection-extraction : The biological treatment technique is based on developing microorganisms bringing about a metabolic degradation in the biodegradable organic molecules.
These reactions correspond to a break in carbonated chains. The residual products are mainly mineral compounds, H20 and CO2, presenting no danger to the environment.

beautifully compiled questions.....my take sir...when i read this 32 rupees thing in the paper i too was shocked.....but then i calculated........for a 4 member family it comes out at 3840 Rs/month.......so surviving at this amount is possible if only nutrition is the criteria (poverty line).......the planning commission is wrong where they cluster the entire range of human activity into those 32 RS.......

Swaraj ji .. these are the very basic raw issues which the so called .."Socialist Republic" of India has been been dealing with a "deaf & dumb" attitude for long enough ..putforth by you barefaced and soulfully, even though.. as rightly pointed out by u .. poverty has no allowance for soul ..and i would say neither does richness ..its the middle class like u and me, whose never dying soul is torn apart in its attempt to nourish the "majboor" body and soul of the poor and awaken the soul in the rich thru various methods .. as strived by u thru this article...the attitude of the proudly emerging novel rich face of pseudo indian society has no room for a thing called "soul".... and soon there is going to be another oncoming threat to the emerging rich face of poor India, the enigma of the "Next Society" .. at the hands of the developed world and their business ordeals ..Indian leaders are fine tuned only to MNC culture now and the parade of posing at par with the developed economies..working solely along their dictates...boasting of India as a fertile business field...with zero courage to admit and portray the reality of the majority poverty stricken India, nationally or internationally..Finally I would say ..on its road to so-called economic development India has infact drifted away from the duties and obligations of a welfare and socialist state towards its less fortunate citizens ... Hail thee ..Rich India with a poor soul.. the land of the generous, where there is only a Rich-focussed scale available to the planners.. hence don't blame them for being unable to decipher the poor man's minimum wage requirement !!!

The economics preached and practised by the scholarly Dr.Montek Singh may hold good for schools and colleges.Economic management of national resources cannot be achieved alone by tweaking interest rates when a whole lot of factors are influencing the commodity prices.
Rampant misuse of PDS,huge subsidies for farmers (which the farmers never get and eventually are forced to end their lives due to high debts),large scale hoarding of food grains,diversion of investments meant for social welfare, employement generation, health,education,rural upliftment, opportunities for rural employment,infrastructure by corrupt politicians and officials has made our country weak.
But this will not continue forever because elections will soon come and for some period just before the elections food prices will miraculously come down as would have been forecasted by our erudite panel of economists.
Immediately after the elections there would be a sharp hike in petrol, diesel and LPG which would have a cascading effect on prices of all goods and services.
Im reminded of a joke which appeared in a movie and this would definitely be of interest to Dr.Montek Singh as Chairman of the Planning Commission.
An old man was receiving a monthly pension which was enough for his needs. He looked forward eagerly to collect his pension every month. One day when the old man was on his way to the pension office, a prankster tells him that the Govt.has stopped giving pension.The old man is dumbstruck. The prankster explains that since the Govt. cannot lay down rules that "Old men cannot live beyond a certain age", the govt, has decided to cancel the pension scheme.Hearing this the old man has a massive heart attack and dies on the spot.

Owke, so it's not so bad as having surgery to look like your idol like the people you see on that show on MTV, but still, this might be going a bit too far.
I do agree that Steve Jobs is a genius. He's in large responsible for the success of both Apple and Pixar and is a master in creating interest in the brands he's leading with the marketing approaches he takes. So yes, there is a bit of admiration. But still, and keeping in mind that he is a geek idol, wanting to look like Steve is not something I want to do.

Where were your thoughts
That spring evening under a pomegranate tree,
My nose striving to push through your pale chest
For one whiff of your golden apple heart?
I rode on the backs of starving oracles
Whose eyes still bleed from vulture kisses.
Did you already forget
The trickle of your robes and the soft
sigh of the tolerant grass as they fell?
I remember the screams of
Ares's gore clogged trumpet.
But, you weaved soft palms through my hair
Well I worked my tongue around
From your sacrum.
All I felt were the desperate hands
Of drowning Phoenicians, chuckling up bubbles.
At least, please, tell me you know
What passage escaped your thin lips
While I tightened my belt to go?
Why, I smiled and whispered
You'd do best to forget this.
As you wish, Milady.

East Ryde NSW
Large luxurious and quality built two storey contemporary duplex development incorporating open style living and outdoor alfresco dining on the ground floor with bedrooms and terraces on the first floor. The design of the development follows the topography of the site.
The proposed duplex has been designed with deep eave overhangs to keep the heat away from the habitable areas during the summer months. Sustainable design principles were addressed by providing energy efficient glazing and by providing 3,000 litre rainwater tanks to each unit. The development also takes into account energy efficient principles.
The clients were so impressed with the development they engaged our services again to design another duplex development in Ermington.

Thanks to Dr. Twaha! What a valley my family has been through. My husband said he was done, he said he wanted a divorce. There was another woman who once told me she will do anything to have my man by her side; he said he was miserable with me. I wanted to run away and disappear at first, but something stopped me in my tracks. I had the desire in my heart to stand for my marriage and then I came across Dr Twaha website. Thank God for Dr Twaha! I was told from various places that I officially had an 'out' from my marriage, but I didn't want out. I felt the tug of my marriage vows and knew this whole situation was bigger than me. I praise God that I didn't submit to my hurt and emotions. The circumstances were horrible. The pain I experienced was so deep, it was physical. My faith when I came across Dr Twaha was solid. I had this strong trust in him. There are still real spell caster on the net. Now my family is a living breathing example!"

Project Paper on Ganga Soap
Ganga Soap
Executive Summary
Industry Analysis
4 Ps of Marketing
* Product
* Price
* Place
* Promotion
This report brings out the launching of Ganga Soap, failure to make a mark in toilet soap industry, being re-launched again, failing yet leading to absolute end of the product in the market. Launched by Godrej Industries in 1993, Ganga soap was produced from the holy water of the Ganges. It was considered to be an innovation on the part of the company. With the focus on the lower to middle consumer segment, it was priced affordably. The promotion techniques used for selling the product ended as the company claimed it to be created from the holy water of Ganga. With the achievement of fairly enough sales, the company looked forward to derive more. By involving its brand endorsement through famous Bollywood personality like Govinda and thereby, the promotions took off very well. By giving the tagline as "now bath in Ganga", the message being conveyed to the customers was very clear. The company targeted both urban and rural areas for its marketing and specially with promoting it as soap from The Ganga, it centred around the people with religious beliefs. However, there were many reasons that in spite of the strong initiatives for marketing the brand, it failed to sustain itself. With the company Godrej' s fallout with P&G being considered as one of the main reasons, the fact that the product was not being able to sustain itself due to its differentiation of being made from the water from the Ganges. After it was re-launched by Godrej again in 1997 it was named as "Doodh Ganga". The company's desperate attempts to gain momentum through the product all went down. By promoting in the similar way, it was well understood that it failed to make any mark as the people became more aware of relating the product on realistic. The amount of pollution affecting the Ganges and purity of water declining making even more difficult to the company to gain sales. By introducing the product merely on the religious basis, it was understood that the company needs a broader scale to make the product strike the customer. Therefore, a strong strategy is needed for bringing the soap to a level where it can match up to the standards of its own counterparts.
