Peer Mohamed, M and Devaraj, M (1997) Transportation of live Finfishes and Shellfishes. CMFRI Special Publication, 66 . pp. 1-43.
Livefish trade, especially the live ornamental fish and live seafood trade, is emerging as a major business venture in most of the tropical countries. Production of livefish through aquaculture has also undergone vast changes during the past 20 years. In aquaculture, transport of broodstock from the wild to the hatchery or seed from the hatchery to the growouts forms one of the basic requirements. The demandfor livefiriflsh and shellfish is rapidly increasir^g and in most of the developed countries, more and more livefish traders and restaurants are offering live fishery products to their customers. Air liftiry of live se<^ood has also increased during the last few years. The mcgor constraint to the development of live seafood export is the lack of information on handling the aquatic organisms after they are caught, right through the transport and sale to the customers. Necessary precautions have to be taken while catching, packing and transporting the aquatic organisms. Apart from careful handling, a thorough knowledge of the behaviour and physiology of the animal is necessary to minimise the stress during storage and transportation.

Amazon After Christmas Sales in 2012
Few people realize that the best deals online occur during After Christmas Sales. At Amazon.com, the deals start as early as Christmas Day and continue with the always popular Amazon Day After Christmas sale in 2012. These end of the year sales showcase a wide selection of items with major price cuts, especially in the electronics section (although there are many sections of the site with awesome deals at the end of the year at Amazon). I have found that stereos, laptops, cell phones, cameras, iPods, and even tablets have major discounts during After Christmas sales at Amazon.com.
A note on other stores and their After Christmas sales compared to Amazon. I'll be honest, they really can't fully compare to the level of deals at Amazon. I do typically check out a few other sales events though, including Walmart, BestBuy, and Target. They all have their specialties and will be offering some solid year end deals. You can shop all those sales online and there will be limited inventory available in stores.
The only place to shop the Amazon After Christmas sale is online. So head over to Amazon.com to get the best After Christmas sales online. Time and products are limited, so make the most of these deals and shop early to get the best items.

BACKDRAFT SERIES: For 16 days leading up to the 2011 NFL Draft, we're rolling out capsule draft histories of each of the 32 NFL Teams.
• Lee Roy Selmon, DE, Oklahoma (1st Round, 1st overall, in 1976)
• Erik Lorig, DE, Stanford (7th round, 253rd overall, in 2010)
• Lee Roy Selmon - 1st Round (1st overall), 1976
• Steve Young - 1st Round (1st overall) in 1984 supplemental draft
• 1987 – Vinny Testaverde, QB, Miami (FL)
• 1986 – Bo Jackson, RB, Auburn
• 1977 – Ricky Bell, RB, Southern California
• 1976 – Lee Roy Selmon, DE, Oklahoma
The Oilers selected Heisman Trophy winner and future Hall of Famer Earl Campbell with the acquired first overall pick
Bucs General Manager Rich McKay was ecstatic after working a couple of trades in 1995 to lay the foundation for their future defense. Tampa Bay traded with Philadelphia and moved down from the 7th spot to 12th overall and selected DT Warren Sapp. Then, the Bucs worked a deal with the Dallas Cowboys to acquire the 28th pick and drafted linebacker Derrick Brooks.
"On defense, we felt the first two picks with Sapp and Brooks - there just isn't going to be a lot of adjustment period," predicted McKay. "Derrick Brooks probably knew as much about the defense as defensive coordinators in the NFL.
"And Sapp... I don't have any question Mr. Sapp will be ready to go Day One."

Auto sales hit new lows
Posted By admin On December 3, 2008 @ 1:04 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,U.S. News | Comments Disabled
Associatxed Press
December 3, 2008
General Motors' November U.S. sales plunged 41 percent, while Ford's dropped 31 percent, dashing hopes that the industrywide drop in vehicle demand might be easing as Detroit's automakers prepare to state their second case for a federal bailout.
Their overseas rivals posted abismal results as well. Toyota's November sales tumbled 34 percent, and Honda's fell 32 percent.
A dreary economy, swooning consumer confidence and tight credit markets have combined to keep consumers out of vehicle showrooms this year. On Monday, the National Bureau of Economic Research said the U.S. entered a recession in December 2007, much earlier than most predictions.
October's seasonally adjusted annual sales rate of 10.6 million vehicles was worst in more than 25 years and far below the rate of 16 million a year earlier, according to Autodata Corp.

Merchant Shipping (Light Dues) Bill, 1983: Second Stage.
Wednesday, 8 June 1983
Dáil Eireann Debate
Minister of State at the Department of Transport (Mr. Donnellan): I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time."
The purpose of this Bill is to enable the Minister for Transport by order to give a statutory basis for the levels of light dues collected in respect of ships calling to ports within the State and to enable him to vary the levels of light dues from time to time.
The provision and maintenance of the lights services, comprising lighthouses, beacons, buoys, and other aids required for general maritime navigation, around the coasts of Britain and Ireland, including Northern Ireland, are governed by the provisions of sections 634 to 669 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, as adapted. The Act vested responsibility for the lights services in three bodies known as general lighthouse authorities.
The three general lighthouse authorities are Trinity House, London, which has responsibility for the lights services throughout England, Wales and the Channel Islands, and also the adjacent seas and islands; the Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses whose responsibility extends throughout Scotland, its adjacent seas and islands and the Isle of Man; and the Commissioners of Irish Lights who are responsible for the lights services throughout the 32 counties of Ireland and its adjacent seas and islands. The 1894 Act also confirmed the three authorities in the ownership of the lights and other property held and maintained by them.
Local harbour lights, buoys and other navigational aids, which are used only by vessels entering or leaving a particular [720] harbour or pier, are provided and maintained by the individual harbour authority or other local body concerned, subject only to the technical supervision of the appropriate general lighthouse authority.
While the lights in the three areas are separately owned and managed by the three general lighthouse authorities, who have wide discretion in local matters, the whole system of lights around the coasts of Britain and Ireland is administered as a single self-supporting financial unit.
All ships using ports in Britain or in Ireland, except those specifically exempted, pay light dues on a uniform scale, fixed by the British Department of Trade, to the general lighthouse authority within whose area of jurisdiction the ports lie. Light dues in respect of vessels calling to ports within the State are collected by local Customs officers, acting as agents of the Commissioners of Irish Lights. They are remitted via the Department of Transport to the British Department of Trade, by whom they are paid, together with the light dues collected by the two other lighthouse authorities, into a statutory General Lighthouse Fund established under the Merchant Shipping (Mercantile Marine Fund) Act, 1898. Expenditure incurred by the three general lighthouse authorities is met from this fund.
The fixing or altering of the level of light dues is governed by the Merchant Shipping (Mercantile Marine Fund) Act, 1898, as adapted. Section 5 (2) of that Act provides that light dues may be altered by Government order. Since the foundation of the State, however, the practice has been that the light dues fixed from time to time by the British Department of Trade have been applied on an administrative basis to vessels calling to ports within the State.
The whole question of the anomalous position of the Commissioners of Irish Lights was raised by the British Comptroller and Auditor General in his report for the years 1979-80 and 1980-81, in which he drew attention to the fact that there was no legal basis for the collection of light dues in the State at rates in excess of those in operation in 1922. He also referred to the loss of revenue to the [721] General Lighthouse Fund by virtue of the fact that since Ireland joined the European Monetary System on 13 March 1979 light dues had been collected in Irish pounds as though they were equivalent to pounds sterling.
Preliminary discussions took place last year between the British Department of Trade and my Department about various legal and financial anomalies of the situation of the Commissioners of Irish Lights. It was agreed at the time that the whole complex question of the Commissioners of Irish Lights and their relationship with the British and Irish authorities should be the subject of further bilateral discussions after the matter had been considered by the Department of Transport in consultation with other Government Departments and other interests concerned. It was also agreed in principle that light dues charged at Irish ports should be fixed as soon as possible at a level in Irish currency equivalent in value to the sterling rate fixed in Britain.
The Attorney General, who has been consulted by the Department of Transport, has confirmed that there is no statutory basis for the charging of light dues at Irish ports at a level in excess of that prevailing at the time of the transfer of powers from Britain to Ireland in 1922. It is necessary, therefore, to take steps to remedy this position and, as already mentioned, that is one of the purposes of this Bill — the other being to enable the Minister to vary the levels of light dues from time to time.
I have already referred to the provisions in the Merchant Shipping (Mercantile Marine Fund) Act, 1898, whereby light dues may be altered by Government order. Section 5 (3) of that Act provides, however, that, before any such order is made, the draft order shall be laid before each House of the Oireachtas for not less than 30 sitting days and may be rejected by resolution of either House. Because of the excessive delay which would be involved in following the procedure laid down in the 1898 Act, the Government decided to introduce the present Bill for the purpose of amending and updating the relevant provisions of the 1898 Act.
The Bill is a short one and is primarily [722] of an enabling nature. Section 2 of the Bill will empower the Minister for Transport to make an order amending the scales, rules and exemptions set out in the Second Schedule to the 1898 Act for the levying of light dues, with retrospective effect to the date of introduction of this Bill. The purpose of the retrospective clause is to prevent a shipowner from claiming that he was not obliged until the ministerial order was made to pay light dues at a level higher than that existing in 1922. Under section 2 (4), any such order will be laid before each House of the Oireachtas in the customary manner. Section 3 provides for the repeal of certain parts of section 5 of the 1898 Act which will become redundant once this Bill has been enacted.
I recommend the Bill for the approval of the House.
Mr. Wilson: It is our intention to facilitate the passage of this Bill and the Whips have so agreed.
It is interesting that we have to go back to 1898 for the statutory authority for the operation of the Irish Lights charges. In researching for this Second Stage debate, I could not help but notice that the 1898 volume of Bills contained the Local Government Act which had far-reaching effects on the administration of this country and, in particular, in allocating responsibility for local administration to local elected authorities. This may not be irrelevant in considering what we are doing here with regard to the amendment of the 1898 Act.
One thing that is pleasing as far as the system is concerned is that the administration is on an all-Ireland basis, the Commissioners of Irish Lights dealing, as is only rational and sane, with the whole country as a unit. That is something which would be pleasing to all sides of the House and I am sure it could be a pointer to what can happen in the future because, as the Minister said, this matter comes up for consideration in the future. The year 1898 was a significant one with regard to taking powers from the Westminster Parliament and allocating them to this country.
It is interesting to look at the original [723] Act, and the Second Schedule, which lays down the fees because this gives an idea how necessary it is to update many things. The House will be interested to know that the scale of fees as laid down in the 1898 Act shows how technology has changed in 85 years, even at sea, beyond all powers of conception at that time. I read the debate in the British House of Commons at that time and I do not think they could have envisaged what was going to happen with the ships. In the 1898 Act a scale of fees was laid down: 1d per ton per voyage for home trade sailing ships; 2¼d — even that charge shows how times have changed because the farthing is a collector's piece in Britain and Ireland — per ton per voyage for foreign-going sailing ships; 1½d per ton per voyage for home trade steamers — a distinction is made between sailing ships and steamers; 2¾d per ton per voyage for foreign going steamers; 1/- per ton per year for tugs, pleasure yachts and so on. The very scale of the charges, the mention of sailing ships, and the idea that a substantial amount of money could be got from dues on sailing ships, bring us back, and are a pointer to the need for updating many things in our legislation and in our general relationship with the UK.
I want to make a few points because there has been a certain amount of aggro with regard to Ireland and its enjoyment of certain financial privileges as a result of the arrangement made in 1898. One of the good old criteria applied in all these cases is cui bono, who is gaining. When we hear strong arguments from Westminster, and criticisms of the advantages we have here as a result of the arrangement made in 1898, we should bear in mind that all the lighthouses and other appurtenances for the safety of and benefit of sailors, benefit greatly the very large UK merchant fleet. It is well to keep that in mind.
As of now I do not want to go into this point in any great detail, or to speak strongly about certain remarks which were made by various people in positions of importance in the UK. As the Minister said, consultations are going on at the [724] moment. It is well to indicate that there are arguments on our side as well. For example, the Minister mentioned that our customs people provide a service also which is of benefit to the system.
At one stage since we joined the European Monetary System the punt went ahead of the pound sterling and was stronger. Admittedly that was not to the advantage of this country, or of our exporters, but it happened. What happened once might happen again. The powers being taken by the Minister in this Bill will enable him to deal with such an eventuality. As the Minister said, the whole complex question of the Commissioners of Irish Lights and their relationship with the British and Irish authorities is the subject of further bilateral discussions. I have confidence in the Minister and in his team. I am sure they will make the points which will strengthen our case, and that they will be able to resolve any difficulties which may have arisen as a result of the comments and remarks made by the British Comptroller and Auditor General with regard to the drop in income to the fund as a result of the fees being paid in punts rather than in pounds sterling. This Bill will regulate that anomaly, and the payments from our side will be at the same rate and will be the pro rata equivalent.
I have not got very much more to say on this Bill. When the whole system comes up for consideration, and perhaps reorganisation, it will be important that the new body, if there has to be a new body, established on the Irish side will be subject to democratic choice and that the Dáil will have a say in the structures of any boards which may be established, and will have control over such boards. There may be no need for such a development. The negotiations and discussions may wipe out any difficulties which may have arisen. It is important to keep in mind that this House should have a strong say in any administrative unit which may be established to deal with this in the future.
I should like to tie that in with the original comments I made about the 1898 Act. In that year people were talking about giving local government to this [725] country. They actually delivered a Local Government Act. We have had a kind of ad hoc arrangement since then for the Commissioners of Irish Lights with regard to the facilities provided for sailors around our coast. If it comes to a reorganisation, it should be on the basis of democratic control by this House over appointments and activities. I welcome the Bill.
Minister of State at the Department of Transport (Mr. Donnellan): I want to thank Deputy Wilson for his remarks and for his co-operation in the smooth passage of the Bill. The current rates have changed quite dramatically since 1898 and vary from 80p per ton per voyage to £3.20p per ton per voyage.
Mr. Wilson: Is there any difference between sailing ships and steamers?
Mr. Donnellan: There are some differences, but I am not very familiar with them.
Agreed to take remaining Stages today.

Comments about Protec ProPac Carry-All Clarinet Case:
What a lovly case. Very sturdy and durable yet the canvas finish doesn't leave it looking like some piece of audio visual equipment. Lots of protection for the instrument, and heaps of storage on the sides for reeds, tuner, metronome, swabs, sling etc. with clever lids to keep everything in. Generous music compartment which not only holds A4 paper, but also display books. Front pouch also holds A4 paper and anything else you need to carry around with you, for me i use it for a slim drink bottle, my keys, pens, notebook, mp3 headphones and asthma puffer. I even put my lunch in it when needed. The best thing about this case is that i no longer have to carry a satchel as well as my instrument case, everything fits in the one case. Although it is larger and quite a bit heavier than my old case, it does absolutely everything i need it to. The only downfall to the case is that on my Buffet RC Prestige, the alternate Eb lever for the left hand is pushed down when the case closes, resulting in the pad opening which isn't desirable. For Standard clarinets i don't imagine there would be any problems. Fantastic.
Comments about Protec ProPac Carry-All Clarinet Case:
I love this case, it's large, which means I can carry everything including music. I love the easy access to the reed case, metronome, music. It's just a great buy. A great upgrade.
Comments about Protec ProPac Carry-All Clarinet Case:
I found that the case was sturdy and durable. My case had no problems. I fit my music in the inner pocket and I put my reed case in the outer zipper pocket. I take this clarinet everywhere with me. I play quite often so this case proves that it's worthy. It shows no sign of wear either. I think anyone interested should buy it. It is a very good case.
Comments about Protec ProPac Carry-All Clarinet Case:
I'm a NEC Jr. MYWE woodwind 1st clarinetist, and I just purchased this item. The first thing I would like to say is wow... It is just fabulous. It amazed me very much, but the only problem is that it is a bit bigger than I expected it to be. My mom doesn't like the big part, but I think it's an awesome looking case. I don't think it can get any better.
Comments about Protec ProPac Carry-All Clarinet Case:
This is the case I selected to house and protect my grandfather's Selmer Paris Series 10. The old case was starting to fall apart. It has two inner spaces around where the clarinet lies (for reeds, swab, etc) plus a flip-down compartment to store music or papers. The outside has a large external compartment for books and even slots for pencils. The case also has a comfortable shoulder strap. This case is ideal for the travelling musician. All ProTec cases are fantastic.
Comments about Protec ProPac Carry-All Clarinet Case:
Protec has really outdone themselves with this case. This case is really dependable in any musical situation. The music pocket in the case is amazing. Now I can hold my concertos and music books in my case, and be a lot more organized. The Protec cases are simply the best. The strong shoulder strap helps me to take my clarinet where ever I need to go. This case is good for concerts, gigs, chamber groups, etc. The extra pouch is excellent for tuners, loose sheet music, metronome, and 3 pencils. I would recommend this case to any clarinetist that wants an excellent case and wants to take care of their clarinet. I will always get Protec cases for my clarinets and saxophones. I love Protec.
Comments about Protec ProPac Carry-All Clarinet Case:
I love this case. I can put everything in it and go. It is kind of big so if you carry a lot of additional stuff you might want something a little smaller, but it is a very nice case overall.
Comments about Protec ProPac Carry-All Clarinet Case:
This case is very good, and can hold everything I need, but it's kind of heavy and is often mistaken for a trumpet case. It also tends to collect lint. So overall, it's nice if you don't mind it being heavy and being mistaken for a trumpeter.
Comments about Protec ProPac Carry-All Clarinet Case:
Little bigger than I expected, but it is not heavy.Buy it. IT IS WORTH THE MONEY. Excellent case!
Comments about Protec ProPac Carry-All Clarinet Case:
I love this case! I have been playing the clarinet for 3 years now and it is so much better than my old case. It holds everything including pencils, cleaning stuff, all of my reeds, and my stand. The flip down music case is great. Now I never forget my music.

"Super Fly" cars to appear in AACA Museum pop culture exhibit
The Les Dunham Corvorado. Photo courtesy Dunham Coach.
It's more than facile to fill a museum exhibit dedicated to cars and pop culture with Elvis, poodle skirt, and sock hop references. The AACA Museum, however, has taken a far more daring path by featuring a pair of Dunham Coach "Super Fly"-type cars in its upcoming showcase, "Pop Culture and Cars: Retro Adventures."
Likely appearing at an AACA event for the very first time, the Dunham Coach "Corvorado" – as featured in the films Live and Let Die and Superman: The Movie – and the Dunham Coach "Super Fly" Cadillac Eldorado – as seen in Ft. Apache the Bronx – aren't typical AACA fare, but both played a significant role in 1970s pop culture.
As documented in the debut issue of Autocult magazine, the whole "Flash Car" movement began with the request of a Dunham Coach customer named "Snake" to add a bit more chrome to his new 1969 Cadillac Fleetwood. While that sounds simple enough nowadays, it's important to remember that on the East Coast in the late 1960s, there was still an enormous racial divide; white customization shop owners often refused to work on the cars of affluent black clientele, particularly when the source of their income was suspect. Les Dunham, owner of Dunham Coach, had no such reservations and treated all customers with respect. Dunham also listened to his clientele, delivering them exactly what was requested – and more.
Snake's request for a chrome radiator surround ultimately turned into a restyled radiator surround, patterned off the vertical grille of a Rolls-Royce. Happy with Dunham's work, Snake soon brought him additional business, as well as additional clients, and by the early 1970s, it wasn't uncommon for a car carrier to show up at Dunham Coach, loaded with new Cadillacs awaiting Les's touch. In 1971, Snake's request for a Rolls-Royce-style headlight, influenced by cars of the 1920s, led to the creation of the "Fly Light," an oversize chrome headlight surround that became a hallmark of Dunham Coach design.
The cultural significance of Dunham's work goes far beyond the addition of chrome trim, exaggerated headlight surrounds and fake sidemounts. As Dan Stoner of Autocult explained, "Les was the only guy who real-life pimps could take their brand-new Cadillacs to for customization. Dunham single-handedly took the custom car industry out of Southern California and right into the sleepy town of Boonton, New Jersey, for this 'clientele.'"
The 1971 film Super Fly, a term once used by a customer of Dunham's to describe his work, put Dunham Coach's cars on the big screen. Additional film appearances would follow, highlighting other Dunham creations, such as the cut-down Cadillac Eldorado-bodied Corvette known as the Corvorado. When interest in "Flash Cars" waned at the close of the 1970s, Dunham turned his attention to making custom truck parts, once again proving his versatility.
The AACA's recognition of Dunham's work is significant, if perhaps a bit overdue. As Stoner put it, "Interest [in Flash Cars] definitely started to surge again in the early 2000s, following the typical cycle of pop culture (25-30 years) and the renewed interest in all things Seventies. The renewed interest in Blaxploitation Film and Grindhouse Film also contributed to the interest in Les's Flash Cars, because of Super Fly."

The AACA's Pop Culture and Cars exhibit will feature far more than just Dunham's "Super Fly" creations. Other cars to be shown include the 1932 Ford Roadster driven by actor, pop star and 1950s icon Ricky Nelson, the 1978 Pontiac Trans-Am Y-84 presented to Burt Reynolds after filming Smokey and the Bandit, a 1969 American Motors Corporation AMX and a 1974 Bricklin. There are a few more ordinary cars on display as well, including a 1961 VW Transporter, a 1970 Ford Maverick, a 1975 AMC Pacer X and a 1977 Chrysler Cordoba (complete with "soft Corinthian leather," as shilled by Ricardo Montalban for Chrysler Corporation).
No exhibit on pop culture would be complete without other trappings from the various decades, including a 1950s juke box, 1960s lava lamps and a 1970s mirrored disco ball. "Pop Culture and Cars: Retro Adventures" will run from May 17 through October 13 at the AACA Museum in Hershey, Pennsylvania. For more information, visit AACAMuseum.org.
Save these Cars – Hollywood, California: Part II
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, which turned up here last week, was on a vast list of cars that developed after we posted updates on finding the Better off Dead Camaro, Risky Business Porsche and other iconic movie cars. Since then, we've both found some more and had suggestions for literally dozens of others that should be preserved for posterity (if your definition of posterity includes pointing and laughing), but we'll start with one from the original list: The '61Â Ferrari California Spyder (250 GT) from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
As we've mentioned before, it was a replica, built by our good friend Mark Goyette. Mark says there were three used in the film:
- The Hero car. Built by Mark and leased to Paramount for the filming. It's the one that jumps over the camera, and is used in almost every shot. At the end of filming, Paramount returned it to Mark, with the exhaust crushed and cracks in the body. "There was quite a bit of superficial damage, but it held up amazingly well," he said. He rebuilt it, and sold it to a young couple in California. The husband later ran it off the road, and Mark rebuilt the front end for him. That owner sold it in the mid-90s, and it turned up again around 2000, but hasn't emerged since.
- Sold to Paramount as a kit for them to assemble as their stunt car, they did such a poor job that it was basically unusable, aside from going backwards out the window of Cameron's house. Rebuilt, it ended up at Planet Hollywood in Minneapolis, but dropped off the map along with Planet Hollywood Minneapolis.
- Another kit, supposed to be built as a shell for the out the window scene, it was never completed at all, and disappeared after the film was completed. Mark thinks he once heard it was eventually completed and sold off, but it could also still be in a back lot at Paramount.

This could make for one epic fight scene.
Those who miss the `90s can transport themselves back in time, by listening to these five most memorable "10 Things I Hate About You" Soundtrack Songs. Each one reflects the…
The gorgeous 'Mad Men' actress, in the most challenging role of her life, will have to act like she loves Brendan Fraser.
This is a touchy subject whenever I bring it up around here, but "Dexter" is an uneven show. Now, Scott Buck is ready to wash the turd-like taste of Season Five out of our mouths.
It seems like everything's changed for Dexter this year. SPOILER ALERT!!! for people waiting to watch Season Four on DVD, but he's lost his wife and his executive producers in one fell swoop. Chip Johannessen takes over for departing Clyde Phillips and Melissa Rosenberg, but continues their story from the death of Rita.
Over the summer, Johannessen told the Television Critics Association that new guest stars are coming in who will end up helping Dexter deal with grief. We've got Peter Weller (Robocop), Julia Stiles, Jonny Lee Miller and Shawn Hatosy. Could they each represent one of the five stages of grief?
More after the jump…
Yesterday we gave you news that Julie Benz would be returning to the fifth season of "Dexter." And today we have more big casting news. But you gotta pay. Only the first hit's free. So go ahead and give me all your money and — oops. I spilled the beans in the headline, didn't I? FUUUUUUUUUUUU**!!! What's that, Ausiello?Sources confirm to me exclusively that Julia Stiles is in advanced talks to play a major, top secret role in the show's upcoming fifth season. There's no word yet on who Stiles will play. According to showrunner Chip Johannessen she won't play a serial-killing rival to Dexter. "We're not going to have a single Big Bad this season. We don't want to try and top John Lithgow, so we're going to change up the forces that Dexter's going to be dealing with." My theory is that she'll play a cat-faced FBI Agent who discovers Dexter's murderous secrets.

From baking simple loaf breads to mastering the technique of a perfect soufflé, formal pastry training at a baking school can lead to a rewarding and satisfying career. Illinois culinary schools offer training where students learn how to master the art of baking in a contemporary kitchen setting. Pastry school courses center around menu planning, plating dessert, dessert preparation technique, and cake decorating. Students are also taught how to create a baking schedule for commercial kitchens, and take classes on operating their own catering company or business.
Pastry training can help prepare students to enter a number of exciting establishments in the Chicago food service industry. Here are some examples:
Bakeries The obvious first choice. What isn't obvious is that many bakeries have dispensed with the traditional doughnuts and breads and are now serving highly regarded and delicious confections. Don't just think about your neighborhood bakery when thinking about job in today's bakeries.
Restaurants Restaurants require a steady stream of artisan breads, deserts, and confections for their diners. A skilled pastry chef is a valued commodity for a restaurant looking to separate itself from the competition.
Hotels Just because hotel restaurants have a captive clientele in their guests doesn't mean that they want to short change their dining experiences.
Resorts Most resorts cater to the luxury traveler who has been everywhere and seen everything. They often try to open the eyes of their jaded but discriminating guests with the new and the unique. Delectable desserts and pastries are a perfect diversion.
Cruise Lines If you've ever been on a cruise, then you know that dining is a 24/7 activity. And what goes better with morning mimosas out on the deck than fine baked goods and pastries. The exotic ports of call are just one of the bonuses when working on a cruise ship.
Research and Development Kitchens Restaurants and food product companies are constantly on the search for the latest and greatest menu items and food products. They employ skilled professionals to help them find the winners that will be put on their menus or on your local grocers shelves.

Circle II Circle - Burden of Truth
I know, there's an album reviews forum, but this isn't really a review.
There's a few Savatage fans on this board, and as you may know, Circle II Circle is the new band of ex-Tage frontman Zak Stevens, and they just released their new album, Burden of Truth, a concept album based around the story of the Da Vinci Code.
All I can say is WOW. Amazing album. I've been playing it regularly for 3 weeks now since I got it, and it still is just incredible. Easily wins my #2 album of 2006 slot, and who knows, in the weeks to go left in the year
even overtake the new Maiden album.
It's better than the other two CIIC albums, and argueably better than all of Zak's albums with Savatage.
I just wanted to tell everyone that they should definately check this out. It's just amazing. Almost every track is a killer song, very catchy, yet very heavy. It also features several "odes to Tage", being the presence of piano on some tunes, and the KILLER "vocal round" in the title track. I just wanted to recommend this album to basically everyone, cause it blew even my expectations away who is a HUGE Zak Steves / Savatage fan.

Mary Lisbeth D'Amico | March 5, 2013 | Comments
Traackr launched a revamped version of its platform, a move to make its tools more user-friendly in the increasingly competitive market for helping brands identify key influencers.
San-Francisco-based Traackr this week launched a revamped version of its platform, a move to make its tools more user-friendly in the increasingly competitive market for helping brands identify key influencers.
The revamped Traackr lets users identify, research, and engage with influencers - those who have a reputation as thought leaders in a company's target markets - without leaving the Traackr website, the company said. Features include a new interface that integrates more smoothly into a marketer's workflow, built-in social media integration - so users can interact with influencers directly via the platform on Twitter, for example - and instant search, which allows companies to quickly put together lists of influencers.
"Instant search allows me to see if a keyword works or not," says Jessica Lovejoy, PR content developer at enterprise software company Cincom, a Traackr customer who has been trying out the new features in beta form over the past few months. "I find it handy, because if I have an idea for a new campaign I can test it out." A subscription to the service starts at $1,795 per month based on the number of active projects and users a company targets.
Lovejoy says the tool has helped Cincom more quickly identify relevant influencers in the company's niche markets, which include manufacturing, insurance, financial services, and healthcare. "I feel like I'm getting to the right people and receiving a list [of] influencers I've never seen before. This used to be a slow, manual process in which I would search the web for who was talking most about the relevant industries," she notes, adding that she is currently using such searches to recruit industry experts to contribute to the company's online magazine.
Pierre-Loïc Assayag, the founder and CEO of Traackr, says its algorithm is like Google search but for people, analyzing "anything we can get our hands on in the public domain." But Traackr is far from alone in this market; it competes with companies including Little Bird, Appinions, Klout, and PeerIndex, each eager to convince brands and agencies that their approach is the best.
Little Bird, a new entrant whose product is still in beta, crawls Twitter for content to determine the most trusted specialist, for example. Meanwhile, Appinions uses intelligent text processing, linguistic analysis, and natural language to sort through both social media and traditional media channels.
Many players seem eager to disassociate themselves from the best known social influence identifier - Klout, which comes up with a ranking based on social media output and then gets paid by brands to forward free samples to the people it decides are influencers.
"The people you find in results on Traackr are not getting a perk. We are a search play," says Assayag. And in a dig at Klout on its website, Appinions notes that it is a "serious influence marketing platform that can't be gamed, pumped or played."
However they are determined, Assayag claims that more companies are shifting their focus toward reaching influencers. "Instead of spending money on paid media, people are becoming media and influencing the news. It's part of a move towards a more people-centric web," he says.
But not all marketing experts are convinced that influencers are the be-all and end-all. In a recent article in The Huffington Post, blogger Sam Fiorella, a partner with Sensei Marketing, noted that while influencers may get the company talked about, that doesn't necessarily help the company's bottom line. "Influence marketing must be focused on influencing prospective customers to purchase a product or service that they may buy," he reminded readers.

I thoroughly enjoy that my cars all have a distinct style about them and look like nothing else on the road. You know a Chrysler 300 or Dodge Charger when you see one and don't confuse it for anythong else. Some very bad ideas coming from FIAT I feel.


text: NACS Online / News & Media Center / News Archive U.S. Organic Product Sales Reach $26.6 Billion Last year, the organic industry advanced 5.3 percent overall. April 26, 2010 Page ContentGREENFIELD, Mass. �" U.S. sales of organic products continued to grow during 2009 despite the distressed state of the economy, the Organic Trade Association (OTA) revealed in its 2010 Organic Industry Survey. In fact, organic product sales in 2009 grew by 5.3 percent overall, to reach $26.6 billion. Of that figure, $24.8 billion represented organic food. The remaining $1.8 billion were sales of organic non-foods. "While total U.S. food sales grew by only 1.6 percent in 2009, organic food sales grew by 5.1 percent. Meanwhile, organic non-food sales grew by 9.1 percent, as opposed to total non-food sales which had a 1 percent negative sales growth rate. These findings are indicative that even in tough times, consumers understand the benefits that organic products offer and will make other cuts before they give up products they value," said Christine Bushway, OTA executive director, in a press release. Experiencing the most growth, organic fruits and vegetables, which represent 38 percent of total organic food sales, reached nearly $9.5 billion in sales in 2009, up 11.4 percent from 2008 sales. Most notable, organic fruits and vegetables now represent 11.4 percent of all U.S. fruit and vegetable sales. Since the approval of the final National Organic Program rule published in 2000, sales of organic fruits and vegetables have grown from $2.55 billion, representing approximately 3 percent of all fruit and vegetable sales, to the nearly $9.5 billion level and 11.4 percent penetration level. Meanwhile, during that time, organic food sales have grown from $6.1 billion to $24.8 billion in 2009, jumping from 1.2 percent of all U.S. food sales to 3.7 percent. The mass market channel had the lion��s share of organic food sales in 2009, with 54 percent of organic sold through mainstream grocers, club stores and retailers. Natural retailers were next, with 38 percent of total organic food sales. Although still representing a small percentage of sales, farmers�� markets, co-ops and CSA (community-supported agriculture) operations gained a lot of interest as consumers increasingly look for locally and regionally produced organic foods. In the organic non-food sector, organic supplements led, with $634 million in sales, representing 35 percent of total organic non-food sales, Organic supplement sales were 12 percent higher than in 2008. Organic fiber (linen and clothing) totaled $521 million in sales, up 10.4 percent, while personal care products, at $459 million, were up 3.7 percent from 2008 sales.

Copyright: © 1997 by J.K. Rowling
No. of Pages; 309
II. Author's Background
J.K. Rowling was a struggling single mother when she wrote the beginnings of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on scraps of paper at a local café. But her efforts soon paid off, as she received an unprecedented award from the Scottish Arts Council enabling her to finish the book. Since then, the debut novel has become an international phenomenon, garnering rave reviews and major awards, including the British Book Awards Children's Book of the year, and the smarties prize.
Ms. Rowling lives in Edinburgh with her daughter.
III. Synopsis (Summary)
Before the start of the novel, Voldemort, considered the most evil and powerful dark wizard in history, kills Harry's parents but mysteriously vanishes after trying to kill the infant Harry. While the wizarding world celebrates Voldemort's downfall, Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and Rubeus Hagrid place the one year-old orphan in the care of his neglectful and abusive Muggle (non-wizard) uncle and aunt: Vernon and Petunia Dursley, who also have their own son, Dudley, a spoiled and selfish boy.
For ten years, Harry is repeatedly tormented by the Dursleys. Shortly before Harry's eleventh birthday, a series of letters addressed to Harry arrive, but Vernon destroys them before Harry can read them. To get away from the letters, Vernon takes the family to a small island. As they are settling in, Hagrid bursts through the door to tell Harry what the Dursleys have kept him from finding out: Harry is a wizard and has been accepted at Hogwarts.
Hagrid takes Harry to Diagon Alley, a magically-concealed shopping precinct in London, where Harry is bewildered to discover how famous he is among wizards as "the boy who lived". He also finds that he is quite wealthy, since a bequest from his parents has remained on deposit at Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Guided...

Re: Rugby Union 2013 Thread
3-blot to the All Blacks. No surprise whatever there. Again, it was a better effort from us in some ways, and dismally familiar in many others. The same sorts of stupid errors that have been a "feature" of our play for far too long cropped up again and again and against that calibre of opposition there was only ever going to be one result.
So ends what, overall, has been a pretty disappointing season for the Wallabies. Hopefully the spring tour will yield better results.
