The German ocean carrier's shareholders of Friday approved all items on the agenda for the annual meeting, most notably including the approval of new authorized share capital, which will be used toward the merger with UASC.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said the nation's agricultural trade surplus is also expected to increase to $19.5 billion for fiscal year 2017, up 40 percent from $13.9 billion for fiscal year 2016.
With 13 of the top 20 container lines reporting combined losses of $2.5 billion in the first half alone, industry losses will likely range from $8 billion to $10 billion for the full year, according to Lars Jensen, CEO of SeaIntelligence Consulting.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
However, chassis lessors oppose the West Coast Marine Terminal Operator Agreement members' plan to implement a $5 fee on chassis that move in and out of container terminals at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, saying it will cost them $29 million.
Rolf Habben Jansen, the chief executive officer of ocean carrier Hapag-Lloyd, said he believes consolidation in the shipping industry resulting from deals such as Monday's merger agreement between Hapag-Lloyd and UASC will benefit the container industry.
Gerry Wang, chief executive officer of Seaspan, expressed how he believes the industry will gradually improve if scrapping remains high and new ship orders remain low.

Is it just me or are the people of Skyrim very biased towards the Stormcloaks? It seems that everyone I talk to (excluding Imperial guards) is either pro-Stormcloak, or completely indifferent. I've only met one person who's pro-Imperial, and he doesn't want anyone else to know.
It wouldn't be a problem, but I decided early on to join the Imperials and help quell the rebellion, and now everyone I talk to makes me feel like I'm the bad guy for even thinking it. But I don't see the point of an uprising if the majority of the people are living happily in peace and comfort.
Maybe it's the area, I'm not far in and I've only really explored the south-eastern area of the map. Hopefully there's more Imperial supporters in the north-west.
Another dilemma is the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood. Apparently you can't oppose them, only choose not to undertake their quests. I want to take them down, but you can't do that, so I'm basically going to miss out on a bunch of cool quests if I ignore them. There's not even an option to decline the quests, if you say you're not interested, they just say 'come see me when you change your mind' and the quest is active anyway.
When I got to Riften, the first person I talked to told me about the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood controlling the city, and how she was trying to fight it. I immediately wanted to join her, but there's no option for that.
I thought maybe I could join the guilds and take them down from the inside, but I doubt that will work, I'll just end up being a valued member.
I thought I started Skyrim being good and righteous, but it seems that it's not going to stay that way. I guess I'll just have to accept that I'm now playing an evil character.

Sooooooooo Happy Vermaelen is fine!!!!
I think Sol and Gallas will be fine with Song in front for the next few games
The problem as i see it is we are having problems finding anything for the money we want to pay
The price paid for smalling is anything from 4 rising to 8 to a straight 12 million this for a guy who has only made a handful of prem appearances
I know also Arsenal still have a wage structure which i think is causing problems when you hear what players are reportedly earning

I'd be interested to know whether that was a response to a genuine approach by Arsenal, or whether it was a response to media speculation.

I'm loving your plugin; it's wonderfully easy to use, which is good since my client might be able to use it!
One issue - the client wants a grid of images that will have a rollover effect. The grid option you offer is perfect...except that it doesn't write unique ids to each slide. Would it be easy to add that in, please?
http://eighttwelve.collincountyhistoricalsociety.org/wordpress/ Example, the five colored images at the top are the ones we want to add a rollover effect to.
Thank you! It's a very cool plugin.

Skip to comments.Iranian Alert - February 3, 2005 - President Bush to the Iranian people..."America stands with you"
Posted on 02/02/2005 9:17:20 PM PST by DoctorZIn
click here to read article
I would happily donate my money to their cause if I knew where to send it.
"The regime will be gone by mid 2006"
Good to see you again.
I have 2 questions for you. What did you think of the President's remarks? And if you know anyone else there who heard, or has since read them, what do they think about the State of the Union address?
Something's in the works.
Hello all,
Let me expand on my thoughts on last night's State of the Union speech on go from there.
First, I was suprised by Bush's mention of Egypt and Saudi Arabia, especially the latter. Democracy is dangerous for the Islamic kingdom, because you may very well have the equivalent of Osama bin Laden as Prime Minister. Soon after that you'll have oil prices in triple digits. The radical Islamicists only have another decade or so to use the "oil weapon" effectively. By 2020, the United States and the rest of the world, will, hopefully, be coverting the economy from oil-based to hydrogen-based. The conversion will take multiple decades. I would personally like to see some sort of democratic Saudi Arabia where the royal family, or some segment of it, retains power. Far from ideal, I know. Despite Saudi support for terrorism, and their atrocious treatment of their own people, today's government is better than what might happen. The fear is that Al-Queda might topple the regime. The question is, what would be left of the world economy at the point?
I wasn't really surprised with what Bush said about Iran. I mean, he had to say that. My very first thought was - that's all??? To be honest, I've been disappointed with the White House on the Iranian issue. Never mind when I hear the administration seeming confident about diplomacy resolving the nulcear issue. I mean, how many times does Iran need to say that they aren't giving up their nukes? And it's bordering on idiocy to think that you can get Iran to give it all up. If we are going diplomatic with Iran, then why not with bin Laden? Or Zarqawi?
I suppose there may be a justified fear that if we push the mullahs too hard too fast, they may do something rash like invade Iraq and slaughter thousands of American troops. I fully expect Iran to go all-out before their end comes. They saw what happened to Saddam. Saddam's only chance was WMD attacks on coalition forces before the war started or in the first few days. But for some reason that is still difficult to understand, he sent all the nasty stuff to Syria.
But one thing that was highly accurate and very good to hear was Bush saying that Iran is the #1 terrorist state. Syria is Iran's subsidary, in effect.
DoctorZin, as far as the hope that Europe would sever in fairly quick order most/all commerical contacts with Iran is very doubtful in my opinion. Consider that Europe gets a lot of oil from Iran. China gets even more. China would never go along with any UN action, and would stop it, thanks to their veto power. Any interruption in the Iranian oil supply would have drastic effects on their economy. We could single-handedly destroy China's economy, but I'll save that for another time. Hint: think Cuba.
The most effective thing we can do is to place an oil embargo around Iran. John Loftus says the regime would collapse within 3 weeks. 3 weeks or not, the regime can't stay afloat for long without their oil revenues. I'm hoping that's one of the main purposes of Rice's and Bush's trips to Europe. The embargo can't work without Europe (the UN will never approve it), and if Europe says no, then it's probably mid-2005 by then. Israel will be living in terror. It's widely believed that by the end of 2005, Iran will be very close to a nuclear weapon, if they've don't have one by then.
The White House gives the impression that they don't think that this is a critical, time-sensitive issue. We can't keep waiting. This isn't Ukraine. And American troops can't leave Iraq until Iran and Syria are neutralized.
Regime change in 16 months or so is terrifying. We can't wait that long.
The very best option is the oil embargo. The only problem is that Euros probably won't sign on to the plan. And call me cynical if you wish, but I bet most, if not all, of the companies that were doing business with Iran and are now, or will, pull out of Iran, aren't doing so because they feel guilty about the human rights abuses going in in that country. They are doing it, I think, to perserve future profitable opportunities. It's doesn't look good to be doing business with Iran. It may very well be an afteraffect of the Oil-for-Food scandal, even though this situation is completely different.
We can wait for democracy, like Ukraine. But when we are dealing with hostile regimes, waiting too long can be very costly. Take Hitler's Germany, for instance. The horrors of World War II did NOT have to happen.
Nuclear weapons in the hands of terrorists is unacceptable.
Whatever it takes.
Nice to hear from you!
I think the speech was strongly made and done.
The people gets the speech through internet and foreign based media in Persian language. But I expected Bush to talk more than one line on Iran. However, it was great to hear that US stands by Iranian people in their quest for their freedom. And it was nice to see that he knows the differences between Iran & Syria. The way he talked to us was much better and warmer than Arab nations and states. I appreciate it.
Many Iranians are encouraged by that speech, I believe.
First Diplomacy, then WAR!
Remember that it took 9 months to get ready before going to war with Saddam. Give it a time, plz.
Thanks for your compliments!
Iranians had a great level of freedom before 1979 and it is okay, we will gain it again because PERSIANS deserve freedom and we have been a free nation for centuries.
Forgot to say that HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUES are Achilles Heel of the Regime in Tehran. That is the best point to attack at and weaken the Mullahs more and more day by day!
By the way, is the language Persian or is it Farsi? I have always been told it is Farsi.
It is Persian...
Let me enlighten you! ;-)
What do you call Germany's language? Do you call it German language or Deustch? And what do you call Spain's language? Espanol or Spanish?
It is the same about Persians and their language. I hope I could help!
I agree.
But I guess that's the point. In all cases, war is horrible. In a war with Iran, nobody would win in the long run, I believe. Iran might be stopped from nuclear weapons, but at enormous cost. The Iranian regime would be replaced with mobs, including mobs and gangs of terrorists. Iraq would be a picnic compared to Iran.
I don't mean to tell you how things are in your country, not by any means. But I am confident that war would be a disaster. Now, I'm all for war when all other options are exhausted. I want a free and democratic Iran, next to a free and democratic Iraq and Afghanistan :-) But nuclear weapons are more important. If Iran becomes nuclear-armed, it doesn't stop there. Even now, Egypt is currently in the early stages of nuclear weapons development. My great fear is the spread of nuclear arms to terrorists. They could destroy a country in a single shot. Even ignoring Iran, I have a 5% confidence that I won't see a nuclear terror attack in my lifetime. I think it may be inevitable. I hope I'm wrong, though. After all, they used to say that the Soviet Union would never fall. But some harsh words and some muscle tok care of that.
I believe like the president does that the spread of freedom, liberty and democracy is the key to world peace. I am a true believer. Last Sunday proved it for me once and for all. It iced it. It gave me proof that I could see with my own eyes fairly instanteously.
But the problem is time. If I knew Iran wouldn't have a nuclear weapon until December 2006, then I'd be content to wait. Israel believes that Iran will have a Bomb by the summer of 2005. Waiting is incredibly risky. And the stakes couldn't be higher.
Believe me, I wish we could wait. But this is quite literally a ticking time bomb.
I wish you the best!
Iran Tests Nuclear Trigger Mechanism - Opposition
Thu Feb 3, 2005 11:27 AM ET
By Kerstin Gehmlich
PARIS (Reuters) - Iran has conducted successful experiments on a crucial triggering mechanism for a nuclear weapon, an exiled opposition group said on Thursday.
President Bush on Wednesday renewed his accusation that Iran was seeking to develop atomic weapons and called it the "world's primary state sponsor of terror."
Tehran dismisses the accusations and says its atomic ambitions are limited to the peaceful generation of electricity.
The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), which wants to oust Iran's clerical rulers and has given accurate information on its nuclear sites in the past, said Iran was close to producing the 'neutron initiators' that spark the chain reaction in a bomb.
"Tehran has already succeeded in using beryllium in conjunction with polonium-210 for large scale laboratory testing purposes, and it is getting very close to the point of industrial production," Mohammad Mohaddessin of the NCRI told a news conference in Paris.
Diplomats have already said there is evidence that Iran has bought small quantities of beryllium and tried to buy much more, and that the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) is examining this as part of a two-year investigation of Tehran's nuclear program.
Beryllium also has many innocent uses, but Mohaddessin said Iran had not only secured significant quantities but also tried to conceal its purchases from the IAEA.
"Tehran currently has enough beryllium to produce initiators for a dozen nuclear bombs," he said.
He said the laboratory tests had been conducted at the Lavizan II site close to Tehran by experts from the Malek-Ashtar Industrial university, which is run by the Defense Ministry.
Germany, France and Britain, acting for the European Union, have been urging Iran to permanently scrap the uranium enrichment that could give it the potential to make nuclear explosives in return for political and economic incentives.
Washington takes a harder line and wants Iran to be reported to the U.N. Security Council for possible sanctions.
The NCRI is a coalition of exiled opposition groups. The State Department lists it and its armed wing, the People's Mujahideen, as terrorist organizations.
Great thread today - as always.
Thanks for your comments!
Secretary of State Rice's words on Iran were great! That certainly is the strongest I have ever heard anyone in authority talk about Iran. If we can just keep that sort of talk up, we might get some results. And maybe, just maybe, if we can get the Europeans on board, the regime will collapse.
But consider the current war in Iraq. Europe, for the most part, wouldn't support the war, despite Saddam Hussein's absolutely horrible human rights record. He is comparable to Hitler and Stalin.
I think they opposed the war for any number of reasons:
1) Iraq was a financial opportunity. An invasion would hurt their bank accounts.
2) Some countries think that it is their duty to oppose the US.
3) Some people are just indifferent to evil.
4) Some countries are spineless.
Anyway, my point is that getting Europe would fantastic, but I wouldn't count on it. But I still hope for it.
Persian or Farsi?
In short, Persian language is the official language in Iran. The Iranians call this language 'Farsi'. There is one more thing to add to this short explanation and that is about 'Persian' and 'Iranian'. Remember that all Persians are Iranian, but not all Iranians are Persian!
I hope this definition is clear enough and is a good answer to 'Persian or Farsi?' discussions.
Just thought I would pass it on...
Actually, it is more correct to call it Parsi.
It was Arabs who named it Farsi.
Thanks. I've explained the inability of Arabs to pronounce "P" sound before.
Iran legalizing Abortions
Thursday, February 03, 2005
According to LifeSiteNews.com...
"Irans parliament approved a draft bill in July, allowing abortion in the first four months of pregnancy if the mother's life is in danger or if the baby is malformed. The measure still needs final approval."
The very short article, and the only one I could find on this subject also has a very interesting quote from Mehrangiz Morovati, one of the members of parliament.
The draft of abortion therapy was passed with the official permission from Supreme Leader of Islamic Republic and other religious authorities, so in this respect, it doesn't contradict Quranic spiritual values.
Very interesting that she called it a "therapy", I wonder if the translator just had bad English, or if she said it in bad english, or if she really did not know what abortion was? It certainly is not "therapy"! Another thing I thought was a bit interesting was that it does not contradict Quranic spiritual values, just because the "Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic and other religious authorities" give "official permission"?? I didn't know before that the "Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic" had the right to decide what was, and what was not a "Quranic spiritual value?
Iranians are alive again by the hope of the coming freedom and democracy. Iran could use a leader with vision, like president Bush. A rare and genuine gem in contrast to, and what the speech would have been like if it was by Kerry.
Now that's a scary thought.
How about,...."Today, Iran still needs to cooperate a little more. We still have some reason to doubt that they are being honest with us about their pursuing nuclear weapons. Not that we don't trust you, because we don't want to give you that impression.
We are working with European allies to try to negotiate a deal with Iranian regime in hopes that it will decrease some of its uranium enrichment program and plutonium re-processing. We're hoping to negotiate a deal to supply them some ourselves, thus making their need to do it unnecessary. This will also help bring us closer together so we can talk as equals in the spirit of diplomacy and friendship.
And to the Iranian people, I say tonight:
End your protests and desires for liberty. It's straining diplomatic relations between America and the regime.
And Khamenei, let me know when that luncheon is next week."

The user can inject HTML and Java in search input!, I think it's a XSS bug?
Thanks for your great work.
the user cannot inject html nor java into the input, infact i am aware of the security measure in creating an ajax app and cross site scripting, thats why, i interact with only the tables i need and using prepare function for wordpress to prevent such attacks on the database, if you were able to inject it, that means you are able to inject any plugin that uses wordpress ajax functionality
i would love to know how you did it, if you really did that
Hi n-for-all,
Thank you for your response, I dont have the background for it, but someone sent me a message stating that there is an issue and wrote me some code to tested such <script> alert (document.cookie); </ script> ??
I dont know what he mean, but if there is no issue, can you disable this feature? like using htmlspecialchars OR something ?
A friend told me that there is no problem as you mentioned it to me and only its just print the code with no inject or any security issue.
Thank you and I apologize for any misunderstanding.
Ok great, thank you for clarifying that
You are welcome (:

Grilled Pork Tenderloin With Rosemary Coating and Red Pepper Sauce Recipe
Get Your Grill on With Rosemary Pork Tenderloin
When it comes to affordable and easy entertaining, I'm a huge fan of the other white meat: pork tenderloin. It comes in packs of two that are usually sold for under $10. It's also a quick-cooking and versatile cut of meat that can be seasoned with just about anything.
Recently I made grilled pork tenderloin with a rosemary coating and red pepper sauce. The tender pork was so juicy and flavorful that some of my guests thought the sauce was unnecessary! It's an elegant but unfussy preparation that's perfect for a Summer dinner party. Want to enjoy it? Here's the recipe.
Modified from Bon Appétit For red pepper sauce Serves 6.
Grilled Pork Tenderloin With Rosemary Coating and Red Pepper Sauce
1 1/2 pounds red bell peppers (about 3 large)
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 anchovies, drained, chopped
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
For pork
1/2 cup fresh rosemary leaves (from about 2 large bunches)
1/3 cup olive oil
6 large garlic cloves
Peel from 1 orange (orange part only, removed in strips with vegetable peeler)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pork tenderloins (they often come in packs of two)
Modified from Bon Appétit
For red pepper sauce
Serves 6.

MTD is not Mettler-Toledo
AUTHOR: Gentleman Jim - ()
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, December 25, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, December 25, 2013
MTD stands for Modern Tool and Die, not Mettler-Toledo. The two companies have nothing in common. I work for a company that competes with Mettle-Toledo, so after a search on this site I am now defending my competitor!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Of all the ways to prepare shrimp, the grill delivers the best flavor. Although unadorned "shrimp on the barbie" are great, an easily assembled gingery barbecue sauce makes them that much better. You can save time by buying already shelled and deveined shrimp, but our recipe developer, Alexis Touchet, who grew up in shrimp country in southwest Louisiana, thinks shell-on shrimp are better quality. Depending on where you live and what's in your market, you may not have much choice. Freshness trumps all, so don't hesitate to use your nose in deciding which shrimp to buy.
Editor's Note: This recipe is part of Gourmet's Modern Menu for A Fourth of July Cookout. Menu also includes Grilled Corn with Honey-Ginger Barbecue Sauce and Red, White, and Blue Ice Cream Cake.

This recipe is simple and fantastic tasting. You can turn up the heat as much as you want by using different hot sauces. My choice was a pineapple habanero and it rocked. Great match with the honey. Used Colossal Shrimp (15/17)
ooops, forgot the stars
made with large tiger shrimp, excellent flavor nice touch of heat, definitely better off the grill
Excellent recipe. Sauce was easy. I followed someone else's lead and subbed 1T sriracha for the hot sauce and, like they said, the balance of heat & sweet was perfect. The sauce is very vinegary when first cooking but smooths out nicely. Served on jumbo (U16) Gulf shrimp (wild caught). Try them - they just taste better and have less distance to travel, Even pre-frozen. Worth the extra cost.This is a winner and very simple to do.
Nice recipe. I used 1tbs of sriracha sauce and got, for me, about the right balance of hot and sweet. Even more than the recipe I loved the comments by reviewers who couldn't find the sauce recipe.
Very tasty! And very easy! I cut back slightly on hot sauce to make sure my 10 yo would eat them. We all loved them. Will make again & again. I can also imagine this sauce on grilled salmon. Will have to try that next.
Very nice flavor. We just loved the sauce! My kids are already asking when we will make this again. I served it with rice which was just ok. I need to find something more interesting to serve with this meal. We did enjoy a nice salad with it, which kept the meal light. I would make 2 skewers per person next time.
Great grilled shrimp recipe! Loved the sauce...it does have a 'kick' to it so decrease the tobasco sauce if you don't have an asbestos tongue!
This is easy and delicious. My guests raved. I had large shrimp which ups the specialness, but any would do.
I just finished making the sauce for this recipe and it is HOT!!!!! I actually went back and checked to make sure that the recipe called for 1 1/2 T of Hot Sauce and not 1 1/2 t of Hot Sauce, but I did get it right!!!! I think that it will mellow out a bit once it is on the shrimp and grilled. Anyone who has made this before, any suggestions on that? I don't want to add more Ketchup just yet b/c I do think that the sauce will not be so hot once grilled. Thanks to everyone and I am excited to get these on the grill and in my belly!

Securing, Stabilizing, and Rebuilding Iraq:
GAO Audits and Key Oversight Issues
GAO-08-231T: Published: Oct 30, 2007. Publicly Released: Oct 30, 2007.

Since 2003, the Congress has obligated nearly $400 billion for U.S. efforts in Iraq, of which about $40 billion has supported reconstruction and stabilization efforts. Congressional oversight of this substantial investment is crucial as the Administration requests additional military and economic funds for Iraq. This testimony summarizes the results of recent GAO audit work and proposes three areas for which continued oversight is needed: (1) progress in improving security and national reconciliation, (2) efforts to develop clear U.S. strategies, and (3) Iraqi and international contributions to economic development. We reviewed U.S. agency documents and interviewed agency officials, including the departments of State, Defense, and Treasury; and the U.S. Agency for International Development; the UN; and the Iraqi government. We also made multiple trips to Iraq as part of this work.
Since GAO last reported in September 2007, on the status of the 18 Iraqi benchmarks, the number of enemy attacks in Iraq has declined. While political reconciliation will take time, Iraq has not yet advanced key legislation on equitably sharing oil revenues and holding provincial elections. In addition, sectarian influences within Iraqi ministries continue while militia influences divide the loyalties of Iraqi security forces. U.S. efforts lack strategies with clear purpose, scope, roles, and performance measures. The U.S. strategy for victory in Iraq partially identifies the agencies responsible for implementing key aspects of the strategy and does not fully address how the United States would integrate its goals with those of the Iraqis and the international community. U.S. efforts to develop Iraqi ministry capability lack an overall strategy, no lead agency provides overall direction, and U.S. priorities have been subject to numerous changes. The weaknesses in U.S. strategic planning are compounded by the Iraqi government's lack of integrated strategic planning in its critical energy sector. The U.S. strategy assumed that the Iraqis and international community would help finance Iraq's reconstruction. However, the Iraqi government has limited capacity to spend reconstruction funds. For example, Iraq allocated $10 billion of its revenues for capital projects and reconstruction in 2007. However, a large portion of this amount is unlikely to be spent, as ministries had spent only 24 percent of their capital budgets through mid-July 2007. Iraq has proposed spending only $4 billion for capital projects in 2008, a significant reduction from 2007. The international community has pledged $15.6 billion for reconstruction efforts in Iraq, but about $11 billion of this is in the form of loans.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Deboraha thrives off the facts that her audience knows nothing about the industry, because of where we live, and have to relyon what she tells us. Once she has you in her clutches, she uses threats and llies to keep you into place. The IRS has started a major investigation into her financial ativities because she accepts only cash and will be contacting all current and former members of her school.
She receives kickbacks from acting coachs and has her students pay them in cash. She is universally hated by most Barbizon owners and agents alike.Most agents won't even deal with her because they do not want to be associated with her. Rumor has it that she is about to close and that so many people now know of her lies and will not put their kids with her. She conducts model searches everywhere and the agents that agee to go to say nice things about her are very well paid.
Her game is almost over, too many people know about her antics. And why all the cash payments, if you use a check, you cold stop it, or a credit card you could get a refund but not much you can do after givig her cash. She threatens students to lie to others and tell them how wonderful she is, but they only do it because they are afraid she will ruin their career or chances as she tells them she can.
She represents the worst of the worst and if someone has anything nice to say about her, you can bet they are either afraid of her or getting paid to say it. It has been such a shame, our poor kids have been ripped off, pyschologically abused and all because of this nasty person. She is in business to steal money and get people to believe that they will be discovered at a convention.
She has been part of the MAAI SCAM, the BARBIZON PROSCOUT SCAM and soon will find another convention to scam future kids. Stay away you have been warned. AND NEVER GIVE HER CASH. Wait until the IRS gets through with her.

This is ridiculous. My daughter has been and is currently working with Ms.Deborah and she is a very professional women. She has worked with me when it came to payments and not once has asked for cash. In reference to payment for gradution, the $47 was for food and drinks which had to be payed to the venue this was stated in the contract which we all should have thoroughly read and signed. Ms. Deborah has never questioned my childs potential or lack there of, she has not only help challenge my daughters talents but helped her gain confidence in herself. The individuals who posted this should be ashamed. Ms. Deborah is a wonderful women and does not deserve this kind of disrespect,

SUBMITTED: Thursday, June 25, 2009POSTED: Thursday, June 25, 2009
A reputable agent does not ask you for money - ever. Except for their fee, which is taken from what you make on a job.
A reputable agent does not REQUIRE you to take classes in order for them to "represent you." They may request that you do. They may prefer it, but they can not force you to, particularly not if they're the ones offering the classes.
A reputable agent does not REQUIRE you to pay them for in-house headshots. They may refer you to a list of photographers they like, but beware if they REQUIRE you to go to ONE, as they may be getting a kick-back.
A reputable agent never promises that you'll become a star. The reality of the business is that it is a tough road. Hard work and dedication, being dependable and sticking with it is what works - with some talent, of course.
One of the best-known schools/acting coaches in Los Angeles is Cameron Thor. Check out his website to see what he's charging. If you're living in a small town somewhere and they're charging more, it's a rip-off. Heck, if they're charging the same, or even a bit less, it may be a rip-off.
If ANYONE is charging you thousands of dollars for classes, it's probably a rip-off. I train actors and charge around $40/hour for PRIVATE COACHING, and around $150 for an 8-hour intensive. I taught one class for one of the "questionable" agencies with many franchises around the country. I was shocked to find out what they were charging these poor parents. And, believe me, I believe my coaching is as valuable as it gets.
Ask for the qualifications of the instructors. Their education, experience as a professional in the business. I have a master's degree in acting, have worked professionally as an actor, director, and teacher, and I don't charge nearly what some of these scams are charging for instruction that pales by comparison.
Do not sign an exclusive long-term contract with anyone. Even the best will only require you to sign a one-year contract. Consider a longer contract if it's with someone like William Morris or other agency in LA or NYC who will actually 'represent' you. I have heard of scams that require a 5-year contract - it's bull - don't buy it!
NEVER pay a "registration fee" of any kind to be represented by any agency. If they want to represent you. Reputable agents who want to sign you, do so because they believe you will get lots of work and they will make their money by taking their 10% or so from what you make. Industry standard is 10% for agents and 15% for managers. It varies, depending on whether it's print work or straight acting, etc.
If they're asking you for $4,000 or something like that, consider that you could take 24 credits at a decent university for that much money. Or that you could train with the best in the business for that much and for greater amounts of time in LA or NYC.
Good luck!
