Taxidermist says he didn’t try to profit from rare species offences

Taxidermist says he didn’t try to profit from rare species offences

0 Comments | Western Mail (Cardiff, Wales), July 24, 2010

A MARRIED father with a lifelong interest in taxidermy pleaded guilty yesterday to a string of criminal charges relating to a dead penguin and other exotic animals.

Alan Dudley admitted a total of seven charges relating to breaching regulations governing the sale and importation of endangered species.

The protected species included birds, a marmoset, a turtle, a monkey and a seal.

But he denied keeping the corpse of a tiger with intent to sell it and denied three other counts relating a seal skull, a chimpanzee skull and other items.

Coventry Crown Court heard that Dudley denied trying to profit from the offences.

Defence barrister Timothy Green told the court: “Alan Dudley may have an unusual interest in taxidermy and zoology – it is one he has followed all of his life. He wasn’t importing these animals for profit.”

Alan Dudley Granting Dudley unconditional bail, Judge Peter Ross informed him that reports would consider all sentencing options.

He was arrested after a complex investigation led by West Midlands Police, in partnership with the National Wildlife Crime Unit and UK Border Agency.

Alan Roberts, of the National Wildlife Crime Unit, said: “There is undoubtedly a link between an increased internet market for endangered wildlife and the threat to the species in the wild.

“It was quite clear that this was a compulsion and that Dudley had overstepped the line.”

The 52-year-old, of Keresley, Coventry was bailed until sentencing on August 20.

SEATTLE (AP) — Attending Monday’s immigration rally in downtown Seattle cost about 20 painters — all of them Latino — their jobs.

The painters left work for Laitala Enterprises in a Fife subdivision two hours early to go to the march that was attended by about 30,000 demonstrators as Congress considers immigration reforms.

“We weren’t going to let 17 people leave early for basically no excused absence,” Monroe-based home-painting contractor Terry Laitala told The Seattle Times. “We let people leave early if their family is sick,” he said

Research Reports on CSX Corp. and Union Pacific — Railroads Stocks on the Right Track to Recovery

Research Reports on CSX Corp. and Union Pacific — Railroads Stocks on the Right Track to Recovery

Market Wire, July, 2010

www.RothmanResearch.com provides members a complete scrutiny of the railroads industry with thorough research on CSX Corp. (NYSE: CSX) and Union Pacific Corp. (NYSE: UNP). Sign up now on www.rothmanresearch.com to access these free reports.

Although they have not regained pre-crisis levels, freight railroad companies have posted an increase in railroad traffic of 7.3 percent this year. This hike reflects positive activity in the business economy with more commodities changing hands. Among those having risen substantially are coal and vehicles. One area still holding the railroads back from previous highs is the housing construction market, which is far from recovered and is leaving a hole in the freight industry.

www.rothmanresearch.com is a source for investors seeking free information on railroads industry; investors and shareholders of CSX Corp., Union Pacific Corp. and other companies in the industry are encouraged to sign up for free at http://www.rothmanresearch.com/index.php?id=6&name=Register .

There is also tension of late in the railroad industry as President Obama continues to provide support and stimulus money towards high speed passenger railroads around the United States. Freight rail companies are nervous about the technical implications of these plans as well as financial and regulatory consequences which may arise

It’s official. Paradocks East Coast Grille has moved into the location of the former Draft 29 Taphouse and Grill beside the Dollar Tree at the Chesapeake Square Shopping Center. The new name of the restaurant is PDX Grille.

Kelli Barnes, the manager, is happy pointing out the changes. New tables and chairs complement the shiny new bar. In the back bar area, a beautifully painted beach mural adorns the wall.

Also in the back, colorful kites join forces with televisions as upbeat music carries a lively beat. It is more enclosed now, with black wrought-iron fencing surrounding the area. There are plans in the spring to make it more like a sunroom.

Back to the main bar, I look around and notice the coastal photos. It could feel like summer all year around in an atmosphere like this. Kelli bustles around, preparing for another day’s lunch.

Waitress Rebekah Peterson hands me a menu with Express Lunch Combos listed. For $5.99, customers can pick one item from three different columns. The first column lists entrees including sandwiches, burgers, shrimp, salads and chicken wings. The second column lists salads or side dishes; the third is the beverage list with soft drinks, coffee or tea. Combos with a beer cost a little more.

Among the appetizers are chips and salsa, Bottle Caps (battered jalapenos) and Santa Fe Chicken Wrappetizer (tortilla filled with chicken, cheese, beans, jalapenos and peppers.

Antioxidants improve &

Antioxidants improve & strengthen your immune system. They are thought to help prevent stroke, heart disease and cancer. And if that wasn’t enough many more health benefits are contributed to antioxidants including slowing the aging process & the visible signs of aging. The darker and more pure forms of chocolate contain the most antioxidants.

Chocolate candy does not contain as much caffeine as you might think either. An average serving of chocolate candy has far less caffeine than a cup of coffee.

I bet you didn’t know that chocolate is a rich source of phosphorus and magnesium too. The benefits of each are well documented. Magnesium helps to maintain muscle and nerve function, is good for strong bones, and supports a healthy immune system and more. Phosphorus is important for bone and teeth formation in children and for works with calcium to keep bones strong and healthy for us throughout our lives.

Some ingredients in chocolate can even trigger happy feelings in our brain.

Products which have been

Products which have been thoroughly researched and 99.9% of times are exactly the one that I myself use. I use the net each and every day and update myself with exactly what is happening online. All of those little changes, which most times result in big changes. And I meet these by adjusting my campaigns and ideas accordingly. I also love receiving those constant spam messages into my email inbox what a great way to monitor exactly what others are doing. Overall in the research I have done over the past few months here are a few points I would like to address, that will have a direct cause and effect impact on your own online business promotions.

It stuns my senses just how many scams and dodgy products are currently doing the rounds. It is a disgrace and all that it achieves is to directly wipe consumer confidence away from products which actually have a genuine worth and value. There is absolutely no benefit in promoting a product or service which does not have real value or effect. The internet has gained over time this reputation for making a simple quick buck.

Let's make it a National Park

Let’s make it a National Park

0 Comments | Daily Post; Liverpool (UK), Jul 27, 2010 | by TOM BODDEN

THE stunning landscape of the Clwydian Range in North Wales should be recognised by designating the uplands Wales’ fourth National Park, it was claimed yesterday.

It is 25 years since the 35 kilometre chain of hills, spanning north east Wales with Moel Famau at its centre, was declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

Now Clwyd West AM Darren Millar says it is time for this exceptional scenery to be declared a National Park, alongside Snowdonia, the Pembrokeshire Coast and Brecon Beacons. The three National Parks inWales support an estimated 12,000 jobs and generate some pounds 177m in total income, while our natural environment is credited with contributing pounds 1.8bn in wages to the Welsh economy each year.

The Clwydian hills stretch from the Vale of Clwyd in the west to the foothills of the Dee Estuary to the east, and from Prestatyn Hillside in the north to the Nant y Garth pass in the south

Press – A lower-priced hybrid?

A lower-priced hybrid?

A new Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is unveiled at the New York International Auto Show in New York in this March 31 photo. Ford Motor Co. will soon offer a hybrid sedan that costs the same as the gas-powered version.

DEARBORN, Mich. — For the first time, an American automaker plans to sell a hybrid car for the same, lower price as its gas- powered counterpart, removing at least one obstacle for drivers who want a greener ride.

At a little more than $35,000, the 2011 Lincoln MKZ sedan won’t be cheap, but the decision by Ford to match the prices of the two styles could lead competitors to follow suit with future models.

The hybrid MKZ, debuting this fall and running on both gas and electric power, will be a bargain after factoring in savings at the pump. It gets more than double the mileage of the traditional version in city driving.

While automakers won’t reveal what they spend to install a hybrid system, the final product usually costs several thousand dollars more than a gas-powered version of the same car.

The Lexus HS 250h, the MKZ’s closest competitor, costs about $2,500 more than the Lexus IS, a similar, small, gas-powered sedan
