By the way, there is one more thing that keeps me in HQNT. That is the non-stop bashing efforts on the public message boards. The content of the bashers' posts is only noise, BS and misinformation but the fact that they are afraid to leave HQNT unbashed for even a single day (or a single hour on most days) demonstrates how much the shorts still fear another strong run-up as happend last year. And now they have SNDH to worry about too. If HQNT was as bad off as they try to pretend, they would never expend as much time and energy as they do trying to chase investors away from it.
Yes, there are ten thousand other stocks to invest in. I will gladly invest in any you can show me which I can buy for less than .40/share, has less then 40 million shares outstanding, an eps of at least .13 for 2003 (and likely more for 2004), is debt free and pays dividends every quarter. I'm willing to bet that you will not be able to find a single stock that meets this criteria besides HQNT. Why? becasue HQNT does not belong at under .40/share and will not be priced at this level once the audited financial reports are published. I'll be right here in HQNT until then.
You are right about the websites but you are not going to find the info you want right now on a silver plater. Those real shareholders who make the effort and ask the right questions can get information. I have made my effort and so have many other real shareholders.

The information on what HQNT is doing at present is available to real shareholders who make the effort to seek it. The basher/shorts on these public message boards are NOT real shareholders and do not deserve any new information (certainly not going to get any from me). I have done my homework and I can tell you I am not in HQNT on blind faith but on what I have learned by asking the right questions. Anyone who bases their investment decisions only on what they read on public message boards is at a distinct disadvantage.

FONAR Sells and Installs Upright MRI at Riverhead, Long Island; New FONAR Upright MRI on Long Island Gains Local Physician Recognition for Its High-Quality Images and Ability to Scan All Types of Patients
MELVILLE, N.Y., Jun 02, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- FONAR Corporation ( FONR ), The MRI Specialist(TM), announced today that it has sold and installed an Upright(TM) MRI at StandUp MRI of Riverhead, NY. The facility is operated and managed by Diagnostic Imaging Management Company (DIMC), which is affiliated with Long Island Diagnostic Imaging (LIDI). LIDI has been offering full imaging modality services to the Long Island area for more than 30 years.
Asif Ally, Financial Officer at DIMC, said, "We purchased the FONAR Stand-Up(TM) MRI (Upright(TM) MRI) because we recognize the value of this 'revolutionary' technology. The Stand-Up(TM) MRI offers multi-position scanning capability, enabling patients to be scanned while sitting, standing, bending or lying down."
"Our new Upright(TM) MRI is gaining widespread physician acceptance for several reasons," said Sean Sarjoo, Director of Operations at StandUp MRI of Riverhead. "First and foremost is the excellent image quality, but also because the Upright(TM) MRI can scan all types of patients. We can and have scanned young children, without having to anesthetize them, many claustrophobic and elderly patients, as well as large and overweight patients."
One recent case was quite interesting. Dr. Franco Jona of Riverhead, NY remarked, "Upon hearing about the availability of Upright(TM) imaging services at StandUp MRI of Riverhead, I called one of my patients on his cell phone. He was actually sitting in a waiting room at a traditional MRI center. I instructed him to leave that facility and go directly to StandUp MRI of Riverhead. This particular patient had a problem with his spine, and had complained about his recumbent scanning experience in the past."
As noted on a patient satisfaction survey, Dr. Jona's patient was 'positively surprised' with his scanning experience, especially his 'extreme pleasure' in watching a big-screen TV. StandUp MRI of Riverhead is equipped to handle walk-in patients and was able to accommodate him.
"The imaging market has become a consumer-driven business for both patients and providers," said Mr. Ally. "Physicians want superior image quality to help them make appropriate diagnoses, while patients are demanding a higher level of comfort and customer service. Word-of-mouth publicity from satisfied patients and physician testimonials about image quality and reliability are driving the Upright(TM) imaging revolution."
StandUp MRI of Riverhead is located at 205 Osborne Avenue, Riverhead, Long Island, New York. For more information, phone toll free 877- STANDMRI (782-6367) or visit the web site: http://www.dimc-mri.com
About FONAR
FONAR was incorporated in 1978, making it the first, oldest and most experienced MRI manufacturer in the industry. FONAR introduced the world's first commercial MRI in 1980, and went public in 1981. Since its inception, FONAR has installed nearly 300 MRI scanners worldwide. FONAR's stellar product line includes the Upright(TM) MRI (also known as the Stand-Up(TM) MRI), the only whole-body MRI that performs Position(TM) imaging (pMRI(TM)) and scans patients in numerous weight-bearing positions, i.e. standing, sitting, in flexion and extension, as well as the conventional lie-down position. The FONAR Upright(TM) MRI often sees the patient's problem that other scanners cannot because they are lie-down only. With over 100,000 patients scanned, the patient-friendly Upright(TM) MRI has a near zero claustrophobic rejection rate by patients. As a FONAR customer states, "If the patient is claustrophobic in this scanner, they'll be claustrophobic in my parking lot." Approximately 85% of patients are scanned sitting while they watch a 42" flat-screen TV. FONAR's latest MRI scanner is the FONAR 360(TM), a room-size recumbent scanner that optimizes openness while facilitating physician access to the patient.
FONAR is headquartered on Long Island, New York, and has approximately 500 employees.

Actually, over 30K of SNDH was bought at the ASK prices near the close today. The shorts play the same game over and over waiting to see who will sell at the lows during the day before they chase SNDH at the ask prices. Time is on the side of the SNDH holders who do their homework. None of my shares are not for sale yet. I can wait.

The largest HQNT shareholders do their own homework. They do not bother with message boards and do not take the word of any anonymous posters for ANY information. The presence of professional stock bashers makes a message board virtually useless for any real discussion. A shame but true.
Res, that's about the ONLY kind of post that is worth reading on the message boards. Direct news from the company and official news services. We all know the bashers can post any lie, half-truth or misinformation without accountability.
IDSI Adds Second Radiologist to Manage Growing Physician Training Demands
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 31, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Imaging Diagnostic Systems, Inc. ( IMDS ) today announced the appointment of Jose A. Cisneros, M.D., Ph.D., to the Company's clinical research team as Associate Director of Clinical Research. Dr. Cisneros, a radiologist and Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, will provide added depth to lead IDSI- partnered research activities and expand physician-training programs.
IDSI had previously announced its intent to support multiple clinical partners in various countries as part of a global commercialization effort and to place additional CT Laser Mammography (CTLM)(R) systems in U.S. hospitals to gather studies for a Pre-Market Approval study.
Professor Eric Milne, M.D., IDSI Director of Clinical Research, commented, "I am delighted to welcome a very experienced and highly talented radiologist/bioengineer to IDSI and look forward with keen anticipation to working with him. I am confident that Dr. Cisneros' extensive academic, clinical and industrial experience and his unique ability to operate across the interdisciplinary boundaries between image interpretation and image production will add immeasurably to our research and development capabilities."
Dr Cisneros most recently led multi-modality physician education programs for Toshiba Medical Latin America and Picker International. He received his M.D. from Central University of Venezuela, followed by residency training in radiology. After many years of practicing radiology, he went on to complete graduate studies in medical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He received a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from Drexel University, and then completed a Fellowship in Radiology and Ultrasound at Thomas Jefferson University where he was a member of the faculty.
The CTLM(R) system is the first patented breast imaging system that utilizes state-of the-art laser technology and patented algorithms to create 3-D cross-sectional images of the breast. It is a non-invasive, painless examination that does not expose the patient to radiation or require breast compression. Imaging Diagnostic Systems has received CE Marking, CMDCAS (Canada), Canadian License, China SFDA approval, UL listing, ISO 9001:2000-13488 certification and FDA export certification for its CT Laser Breast Imaging system.

We have already seen the ask on SNDH at over $10.00 and there were some trades in the $4.50 to $4.75 range. No one is getting my SNDH for peanuts. I am heading out tomorrow morning for the holiday weekend. Watch as the worried basher/shorts waste the entire weekend posting their noise, BS and misinformation to each other. It would be funny if it was not so idiotic. Have a good one. Time is on our side.
I think we know who is buying up SNDH as quietly as they can. This volume may seem like a lot but it is not much compared to what the shorts need. Sooner or later they will run out of time and tricks and at that time I will start to think about what price I will demand for my shares. None of my SNDH is for sale yet. I can wait.
mich, you don't see them on the message boards. No point in that. I'm sorry but I will not give the basher/shorts any new info here. Any real investor who makes the effort can get info directly from the company on what is being done.

What really matters about the trading in SNDH is the overall low volume. About 4 million SNDH went out to HQNT shareholders in the dividend and to date, only about 10% of that has been traded (some of which may even have been the same shares going around). By far, most of the SNDH shares are being held and not sold. Sooner or later the shorts will run out of time and tricks to dodge their obligations and will have to chase SNDH in the open market. Time is on the side of the real shareholders here. None of my SNDH is for sale yet and apparently the same goes for most SNDH holders. We can wait as long as it takes.
What makes these basher/shorts think these deserve new information from the real investors here? The majority of the current shareholder base knows how to get their information on this company (not from stock message boards) and that is why very few shares are being sold on HQNT and SNDH lately. We can wait.
In the meantime:

When the key developments are announced, both HQNT and SNDH will be able to rise to much more appropriate valuations. Anyone who does not know what the key developments are has not done their homework. Sorry but the basher/shorts who read this board are not going to get any new information from me.

RUAN Transportation Management Systems Selects Bulldog Technologies' Wireless Sensor Network Solution to Monitor and Secure Perishables
Bulldog Technologies Inc. ( BLLD ), a leading provider of wireless security solutions and sensor networks that monitor, track and secure assets in the supply chain, announced today that RUAN Transportation Management Systems has purchased Bulldog's sensor network system for the critical task of monitoring and securing perishable dairy products in their refrigerated containers.
RUAN of Des Moines, Iowa is one of the largest privately owned transportation service companies in the United States. With over 3,800 employees (2,800 drivers), RUAN is a full-service transportation management company providing value-added services including dedicated carriage, logistics and warehouse management, bulk carriage and RUAN Certified Brokerage Services. RUAN owns or operates 2,000 power units and 3,500 trailers.
"We are committed to providing customer focused supply chain management solutions. Each company has its own unique needs and our services are developed to fit those needs," said Bob Doxsee of RUAN Transportation. "We recently faced the challenge of monitoring the temperature in our refrigerated containers, and Bulldog's unique wireless sensor monitoring solution addressed our concerns in an elegant and efficient manner, while also providing the added benefit of wireless security monitoring."
Bulldog has developed a sensor network solution that measures and monitors the temperature of RUAN's containers with refrigerated perishables and delivers the data real-time to a PC based monitoring application. This wireless sensor network consists of 2.45GHz ZigBee based RF tags and readers. The tags are designed to collect temperature data and transmit the data in real-time to a network of readers deployed throughout the yard to the monitoring application. The application monitors predetermined thresholds and if the load temperature raises to a dangerous level an alarm is issued via an email or a SMS text message. This alarm alerts the site manager of the anomaly and enables him to prevent the spoiling of the containers contents, preventing the loss of thousands of dollars per incident.
ZigBee is a global standard that addresses the unique needs of remote monitoring & control, and sensory network applications; enables broad-based deployment of wireless networks with low cost, low power solutions; and provides the ability to run for years on inexpensive primary batteries for typical monitoring applications. Bulldog had selected ZigBee as the preferred platform to develop wireless security and sensor network applications. For further information on ZigBee visit www.zigbee.org
Bulldog Technologies partnered with Lafayette, CO, based Tendril Networks, a software firm developing middleware for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to develop the application layer for RUAN's temperature and security monitoring sensor network solution.
"As developers of middleware for ZigBee wireless networks, we've had the privilege of working with numerous products and solutions from various companies," said Tim Enwall, CEO of Tendril Networks. "We normally set aside a certain amount of time for joint projects like the Bulldog/RUAN sensor network solution, however this particular project took much less time than anticipated due to the reliability and solid architecture of Bulldog ZigBee RFID tags and readers, not to mention the level of knowledge, professionalism and commitment of the Bulldog team."
"For more than 60 years, RUAN has held a strong commitment to delivering customer satisfaction, being responsive and flexible through the strong understanding of customer needs", said John Cockburn, President and CEO of Bulldog Technologies. "We share this same corporate philosophy which has lead to the development of this sensor network solution and to this close relationship."
"Having RUAN implement our wireless tags and readers is an endorsement of our vision to deliver wireless security solutions and sensor networks that monitor, track and secure assets in the supply chain", said Richard Booth, VP of Sales and Marketing for Bulldog Technologies. "It is though leaders like RUAN that will continue to position Bulldog and the BOSS(TM) portfolio of solutions as the industry leaders."

Lamperd Less Lethal Receives Letter of Intent for U.S. Distribution of Defender Products to Police and Military Agencies; First Shipments Expected in 30 to 60 Days
Lamperd Less Lethal, Inc. ( LLLI ) announced today the receipt of a letter of intent from Taylor's & Company, Inc. of Winchester, Virginia to establish non-exclusive U.S. sales and distribution of the Lamperd Less Lethal Defender and MPK firearms and ammunition system, including Lamperd's patented WASP(TM) less-lethal blunt impact round.
The letter of intent specifies that Taylor's & Company plans to market Lamperd Less Lethal products through its nationwide network of over 6,000 firearms dealers and distributors, targeting its existing and future law enforcement and military clients.
Taylor's & Company currently distributes products from a variety of well-known, well-regarded firearms manufacturers. Lamperd's products will be the first less-lethal/non-lethal arms the company offers.

First shipments of Lamperd Less Lethal products are expected to take place in the next 30 to 60 days.
Barry Lamperd, President of Lamperd Less Lethal, reports that, "Taylor's & Company should become an important part of our export plans to U.S. law enforcement and military markets. Over the last few months, we've made significant progress ramping up to large scale manufacturing of the Lamperd Less Lethal system. Distributors with well established networks like Taylor's & Company will help us achieve the growth we forecast in the coming months and years."

SNDH also closed at the High of the day. Seems somebody wants (or needs) those shares. Too bad they will never get enough until they start bidding higher. I can wait.
No one should ever simply accept what is posted on stock message boards or private sites as accurate or truthful information. We all know stock bashers have only one real interest and that is to try to cause real investors to let go of shares too cheaply or refrain from buying. Protecting investors from "bad" stocks is never the basher's real motivation. The most successful investors are immune to basher lies and misinformation because they get their info directly from the companies they invest in and from official news services.
Investors who make the effort to get the real facts on HQNT and SNDH (not the message board noise & misinformation) know time is on our side. None of my shares in either stock are for sale at this time. I feel sorry for those who let impatience and the bashers' lies influence their investing decisions but someone is always there to buy the shares that are put up for sale. Those who have done their homework and have the necessary patience will reap the benefits. I can wait.
Patient investors who do their own research are the most successful in the long term. Those of us who have made the effort to sort out the real facts from the stock basher lies, half truths and misinformation know HQNT will be well worth the wait. And, as long as we see constant bashing we know the shorts are still with us and still very worried about what surprises HQNT has in store.

MDM Group Reports Progress of Substance Abuse Testing License
SANTA CLARA, CA, May 24, 2005 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- MDM Group, Inc. (OTC: MDDM) advises that Harrington Group Limited (HGR.AX) (OTC: HGRLF) has through a release to the Australian Stock Exchange advised of its intention to proceed with the licensing of a patent protected Substance Abuse Testing (SAT) technology from MDM Group.
The fully developed and market-ready SAT technology incorporates the latest in oral fluid (saliva) diagnostics that allows immediate simultaneous testing for up to any of six illicit drugs including: cocaine, cannabis, amphetamines, speed, PCP and opiates.
The SAT System includes split sample test units, on-the-spot hand-held testing, wireless report printing units through a system that is more efficient, quicker (on-the-spot) and far less invasive than urine testing.
Harrington CEO Marshall Couper said: "Certain patent protected aspects of the SAT System are currently not available anywhere in the world and are particularly important to the global law enforcement industry, as it provides the only available totally portable handheld system that enables law enforcement officers to conduct on-the-spot drug testing anywhere at any time with instant recording, wireless printing capability and integrity in protection of evidence."
The SAT technology is unique and complementary to the law enforcement sector, which is Harrington's main focus, and it offers the opportunity for revenue generation in the forthcoming financial year. The core products of this system are the VerOFy(TM) I/II Rapid Test Platform and fluid collection system and the Sali-Chek(TM) wireless reader. Information regarding the specific SAT technologies can be accessed at: www.bamburghmarrsh.com
The Harrington Board unanimously agreed to proceed with this opportunity subject to completion of satisfactory due diligence, formal documentation and shareholder approval.
The terms of the Licence Agreement offered requires Harrington to commit to minimum annual gross expenditure of US$1.2 million, for the first two years, for costs, operational, development and marketing expenditure, together with an ongoing royalty payment of 7% of gross worldwide sales. This expenditure will be funded out of existing Harrington reserves in addition to revenues expected to be generated through the proposed licensed operations.
Harrington has further agreed to provide interim loan funding to the SAT operational, development and marketing costs, which will be repayable if Harrington shareholders do not approve the licensing arrangements at the proposed shareholders meeting.
Harrington will be appointing Mr. Richard Herrig, a co-developer of the SAT technology, as Chief Executive Officer of the SAT Division, and Mr. Michael Beaubien as Chief Operations Officer of the SAT Division. Both have extensive experience within the industry and are already involved in current and ongoing discussion with government agencies, law enforcement agencies and other industries with regard to sales of the SAT systems.
The SAT business will not detract from Harrington's ongoing focus and commitment to the ShockRounds(TM) technology development and commercialisation programme. Harrington advises that the synergies arising from both ShockRounds(TM) and the SAT technology sharing the same law enforcement sector focus are in fact a significant benefit.
The SAT Licence also covers applications such as employment drug screening, which in many business sectors in Australia and globally such as the resources sector are becoming compulsory, as well as expanding use within sports and in accident and emergency departments. Harrington's exclusive international right to exploit the opportunities across these broad areas of application is expected to enable it to achieve substantial revenues.
A detailed information memorandum, including an independent expert's report, together with the notice of meeting to approve the transaction is being prepared and will be forwarded to Harrington shareholders.
Market for Compulsory Drug Testing
It is readily accepted that drug abuse is a major problem in many sectors of society. Some concept of the size of the problem and therefore the opportunity for the application of the SAT technology can be gained from a review of some published U.S. statistics:
According to the U.S. Department of Labor and other references: use of illicit drugs within the workplace costs industry in the U.S. $75 - $100 billion annually; 65% of all accidents on the job are alcohol or drug related; substance abusers utilize 16 times as many health care benefits and are 6 times more likely to file workers' compensation claims; health benefit utilization in dollar terms are 84% higher; substance abusers record 16 times more work absences; 17% of all U.S. workers regularly use substances of abuse; one company alone, General Motors has stated that employee drug abuse costs them US$1 billion per year.
In the U.S. today, almost all Fortune 200 companies have mandatory employee drug screening programs, as do all industries that are regulated by the U.S. Federal Government. Australia is following the U.S. trend, and many other countries and global industries are rapidly putting drug screening policies and requirements in place.
It is recognized that drugs in the workplace are of major concern, with abusers placing not only themselves but others at risk. This significant issue then extends to the law enforcement sector and the increasing emphasis on the ability to effectively administer random testing of drivers and suspected abusers.
Harrington believes that this elegant system represents a huge market opportunity by providing a less invasive testing solution that offers on-the-spot analysis. Due to this system's ease of use, portability and cost effectiveness, many industries and government agencies stand to benefit in their efforts to combat this pervasive problem.

Markland Technologies Reports Third Quarter Results; Company Posts Revenues of $13.2M in the Third Quarter
Markland Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: MRKL - News), a defense and homeland security company transforming advanced laboratory technology into real-world products, announced today results for the company's fiscal third quarter ending March 31, 2005.
Revenues for the quarter were $13,210,258 a significant increase over revenues for the corresponding period in 2004 of $1,818,846. Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 were $46,024,786 and $5,382,341 respectively. This significant increase in year over year revenues is due almost entirely to the acquisition of EOIR Technologies Inc.
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 was $2,921,984 as compared to $2,360,283 in the corresponding period in 2004. The operating loss for the quarter amounted to $5,248,299. This loss was affected by non-cash charges for the compensatory element of stock issuances and amortization of intangible assets resulting from our recent acquisitions. These non-cash charges amounted to $1,672,935 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 was $20,954,843 or a loss of $0.36 per share compared to a loss of $6,243,618 or a loss of $0.97 per share in the corresponding period in 2004. This decrease in the loss per share is due to an increase in the weighted average number of shares outstanding to 57,790,890 from 6,438,758. The non-cash charges included in the net loss attributable to common shareholders for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 amounted to $15,194,410 compared with $4,548,553 for the corresponding period in 2004. Please refer to our Quarterly Report on Form 10QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for more information about our financial performance. That document is a public filing available on the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov.
"The company finished the quarter in a very strong financial position with a record funded backlog of over $59M and a cash balance of approximately $8M," said Robert Tarini, Chairman and CEO of Markland Technologies Inc. "Our third quarter is historically our lowest revenue quarter for our subsidiary EOIR Technologies, while the fourth quarter is historically their highest revenue quarter. We believe that this pattern of seasonal revenue recognition will continue and that this fiscal year's fourth quarter revenue numbers will show significant growth over our third quarter numbers. The company is poised to capture significant new business from customers in the DOD and Homeland Security market segments. The company also expects to be able to reduce its overhead expenses as we consolidate administrative functions within our operating subsidiaries in the next several quarters."

Argix Direct Signs Contract with Bulldog Technologies to Purchase New MiniBOSS; 3 Year Airtime Agreement Values Total Contract at Approximately $600,000
Bulldog Technologies Inc. ( BLLD ), a leading provider of wireless security solutions and sensor networks that monitor, track and secure assets in the supply chain, announced today that it has been chosen by Argix Direct as their cargo security solutions provider.
Argix Direct, a leading logistics services provider to retailers, operates Retail Sort Centers in New Jersey and California which sort multiple shipments of merchandise into expedited, time definite, single-store deliveries nationwide. Argix Direct is a fast-growing, privately held company headquartered in Jamesburg, NJ, with over 600 employees and with annual sales of over $100 million. They deliver over 38 million cartons per annum to over 5,800 retail stores nationwide, to virtually every mall and outlet mall in the United States at least once a week. With customers including Ann Taylor, Barnes & Noble, and Benetton, Argix Direct has helped retailers move merchandise swiftly and surely from source to store for more than ten years.
Like other logistics service providers, Argix Direct has experienced cargo theft, which not only hampers the bottom line, but creates a logistics nightmare in product delivery to end customers. As a result they were actively looking for a solution that would meet their needs in terms of their business and operational model, as well as addressing the needs of their customers.
Argix Direct has embraced technology as part of their value add and uses it as a competitive advantage and differentiator vis-a-vis other logistic service providers. It was this strategic thinking that led Argix Direct to Bulldog Technologies.
"Argix Direct is a forward-thinking company in all aspects of our delivery model," said Alan Darwick, CFO of Argix Direct. "We felt that our customer-driven service model and approach was well complimented by Bulldog's cargo monitoring, tracking and security strategy and solutions, which lead us to their MiniBOSS(TM)."
The MiniBOSS(TM) is a compact and portable (4"x 3"x 2" in size and weighing 12 ounces) device housed in a durable case that can transmit through steel or concrete with no external antenna required. It is a cellular based hybrid-AGPS (Assisted Global Positioning System), asset tracking, monitoring and recovery device and it is designed to work in conjunction with the Bulldog Security Gateway(TM), a proprietary Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) software program, which enables users to securely track through a standard PC.
Because the MiniBOSS(TM) operates on an AGPS platform, its signal receive sensitivity is increased by 20 dB over traditional GPS platforms. Assisted GPS uses cellular tower triangulation in conjunction with GPS satellite location to provide position location capabilities in impaired RF environments. This increased functionality allows the MiniBOSS(TM) to work in environments that traditional GPS can not. The MiniBOSS(TM) does not need to "see the sky" to determine location like traditional GPS systems and no external antennae is necessary. Thus the MiniBOSS(TM) can transmit and determine accurate positions while inside Argix Directs trailers and warehouses.
Argix Direct will utilize the MiniBOSS(TM) covertly to provide security, tracking and monitoring services. The device will provide exception-based reporting on the status of the cargo container doors being opened and/or closed. In addition the device will provide reporting details on the exact location of the trailer regardless of whether it is in the distribution yard or on the road. The MiniBOSS(TM) in conjunction with Geozoning technology will be able to report when a trailer has left and entered the yard.
The total contract is worth approximately $600,000 including hardware, software and airtime charges. Argix Direct has committed to purchasing the units, software over the next 30 days and will implement the system within the next 60 to 90 days.
"Argix Direct is truly a technology leader," said John Cockburn, President and CEO of Bulldog Technologies. "They have recognized the value of the MiniBOSS(TM) and how it will improve the level of service they provide to their customers."
"Argix Direct is a leader in the cargo transportation field serving a customer base of major retail clients," added Richard Booth, VP of Sales and Marketing for Bulldog Technologies. "We look forward to serving Argix Direct and their customers with a technology platform that demonstrates a clear ROI."

Getting your own info directly from the company and reliable news sources is always a key part of due diligence on any investment. We all know that anonymous posters on stock message boards can say anything. The bashers of HQNT have posted countless half-truths, misleading comments and even totally false statements. It is pointless to debate them directly on the message boards as they only twist information further to confuse the issues and make idiotic personal attacks. Every HQNT investor should make the effort to speak directly to the company personnel or CEO Doug Cohn himself.

Too bad for them most HQNT investors don't even read RB now since this board came into use. I wonder how much longer the short seller bosses will continue to pay for bashing on a board that no one uses any more. LOL. I wouldn't pay one cent. By the way, someone was paying the ask for significant size blocks of SNDH today. My SNDH is still in my account and not for sale yet. I can wait.

Bulldog Technologies Inc. Signs Service Agreement with Leading Mobility Enhancement Provider; Announces Commercial Availability of the MiniBOSS
RICHMOND, British Columbia, May 18, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Bulldog Technologies Inc. ( BLLD ), a leading provider of wireless sensor networks and solutions that monitor, track and secure assets in the supply chain, today announced that on May 9, 2005, it signed a nationwide partnership agreement which will enable them to provide their data and location services on the nation-wide wireless CDMA network.
The enactment of this agreement clears the way for Bulldog to launch commercial service in the US with their covert asset tracking device, the MiniBOSS(TM). Bulldog is the first company to deliver a covert tracking, monitoring and security service with commercial GPSOne capabilities.
During the past six months Bulldog has established pilot programs with the MiniBOSS(TM) product. This Service Agreement will clear the way for Bulldog to fulfill those orders. As a result, Bulldog is expecting to initiate several more pilots over the coming weeks, of which a significant number are with Fortune 500 companies.
In addition to hardware revenue, Bulldog will also generate reoccurring revenues as a result of the airtime used with each unit sold. This airtime will attribute to additional guaranteed revenue recognized by Bulldog and will continue to grow as additional customers and units are added to the service. This additional guaranteed revenue will vary by customer depending on application and need.
Other large markets Bulldog looks to enter with the MiniBOSS(TM) product are direct customer bases, such as domestic car and truck security, as well as tracking of personal belongings.
President and CEO, John Cockburn, says, "The finalization of this agreement is a great step forward for Bulldog to become a pioneering leader in this field. There is significant market potential in the cargo transportation industry, and we look forward to serving this customer base. We strongly believe in the strength of our MiniBOSS(TM) product and by securing this Service Agreement, we have created a powerful monitoring, tracking and security solution."
"The MiniBOSS(TM) is the first monitoring/tracking device to take advantage of a 'first to market' offering of a hybrid positioning service using cell tower triangulation, GPS only or a combination of the two," explained Heetor Wald, CTO of Bulldog Technologies Inc. "The airtime agreement will cover using the MiniBOSS(TM) as a data modem, two-way text messenger, providing location fixes and automated diagnostics for when it is in its dormant mode. Because MiniBOSS(TM) operates on an AGPS platform, not only can a client monitor a trailer or container, he can even monitor each package or carton within the cargo container itself."
"This solution will provide a verifiable ROI and peace of mind for customers requiring a cost effective solution for real-time positions of valuable assets in the supply chain," added Richard Booth, VP of Sales and Marketing for Bulldog Technologies.

The MiniBOSS(TM) is a compact and portable device (4" x 3" x 2" in size, weighing 12 ounces) housed in a durable case. It is a cellular based hybrid-AGPS (Assisted Global Positioning System) asset tracking, monitoring and recovery device, designed to work in conjunction with the Bulldog Security Gateway(TM), a proprietary Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) software program enabling users to securely track through a standard PC.

In the Company's February 11, 2005 news release, Bulldog Technologies Inc. announced the apprehension of a cargo theft ring by the Connecticut and New Jersey State Police joint operation using the MiniBOSS(TM) product, which resulted in preventing millions of dollars of theft. http://www.bulldog-tech.com/Archives_11Feb05.asp

Yes, all stock bashers have the same profile. They are not here for real discussion of the stock or company. They are here to try to casue true investors to sell or refrain from buying at the lower levels. The comments of stock bashers are almost always 100% negative and often contain misleading or false information. I continue to recommend that all the obvious HQNT stock bashers be banned from this board before they turn it into a garbage heap as they have already done on Raging Bull.
Universal Guardian Cobra StunLight(TM) Launches Correctional Facility Program in New Hampshire - Delivery Completed and Training to Begin This Week
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., May 17, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- UNIVERSAL GUARDIAN HOLDINGS, INC. ( UGHO ), has launched the Cobra StunLight(TM) Correctional Facility Program and will inaugurate its first training and Pilot Program with the Carroll County, New Hampshire Jail and House of Corrections.
Cobra StunLights(TM) have been delivered to the Carroll County facility and a professional training program for the facility's officers is to begin this week. The training program, is being conducted by Captain Dennis Cole (ret) formerly president of UGHO Shield Defense and now Shield Defense Special Representative to the law enforcement community.
Captain Cole said, "We are moving ahead rapidly to implement this and other pilot deployment programs growing out of the extremely strong reception we received two weeks ago from correctional and law enforcement officials following the effective performance of the Cobra StunLight(TM) during the training scenarios and demonstrations at the Mock Prison Riot demonstration and training symposium."
Captain Cole continued, "With over 270,000 correctional officers in the United States the correctional facility market is a huge market for the Cobra StunLight(TM) as it gives correctional officers, the vast majority of whom do not carry lethal weapons, a 'True Non-Lethal Alternative' that is ideal in preventing and controlling violence in a correctional facility."
Major James H. Topham of the Carroll County Jail and House of Corrections, Ossipee NH said, "We carry flashlights already. [With the Cobra StunLight(TM)] you don't have to add anything to the belt. It is replacing the current flashlight and it gives you distance in protecting yourself."
Universal Guardian CEO Michael Skellern said, "Universal Guardian has been receiving considerable impact from our appearances at the premier Law Enforcement, Military, Prison and Non-Lethal policy, equipment and training events around the world. Our recent appearances at these events like the Mock Prison Riots, the 3rd European Symposium on Non-Lethal Weapons, and the Force Protection Equipment Demonstration - V (FPED-V) at the Quantico Marine Base help to set the standards and establish the trends for the effective deployment of new technology like our Cobra StunLight(TM). Appearing at these events gives us access to leading authorities and decision makers in these fields, and it is their positive response that is has been and will continue to be instrumental in launching pilot programs."

Interesting that one day the bashers are claiming there are NO shorts in HQNT and the next they are working themselves into a froth trying to make mountains out of mole hills (or ant hills in this case). There is no clearer evidence of the large short position here than the non-stop bashing itself. Sooner or later they are going to have to face their REAL problem of what to do about all that SNDH they owe to the real HQNT shareholders. My shares are not for sale yet. I can wait.
Res, this nonsense is a non-issue. It is laughable how the bashers try to turn every mole hill into a mountain of worry. I see HQNT is trading up today instead of down. Apparently no one is fooled. What will they try next?
