It’s The Season for Sales but Smart Shoppers are Looking for Investments as Well as Deals

December 31st, 2008

After-Christmas, Year-End, and Clearance sales are a great time get some good deals, but this year is the time to pick up some great deals. This is the time of year when every retailer tries to do several things: Sell any overstock still taking up too much shelf space, sell items that are soon to be on the clearance list, and sell through old display models.

This is the time when the consumer needs to shop smart and not just grab the newspaper advert and run down to their local retailer without shopping around and finding the best deals.  With every retailer in America screaming SALE it is often confusing and frustrating to know where to look and they often spend their money on something that will be useless and forgotten in month.

The smart buyers this year will be looking at the antique and collectibles dealers for not just deals but for investments.  Not only investments in their hobbies but investments in the future.  Since a well cared for antique or collectible will not loose its value but gain in value.  Porcelain dolls and figures, unique chess sets, commemorative coins, autographed celebrity photographs, and gold coins and jewelry are easily tradable and retain their resale value even in the worst of economies.

Big Fan Gifts And Collectibles is expanding their Post Holiday Sale to include many of their celebrity autographs, porcelain dolls, chess sets, collectible coins, and TV and Movie Memorabilia

Creating Energy from Macadamia Nuts

December 31st, 2008

Melbourne, Australia ( Prfriend ) December 30, 2008 -Australia’s largest energy retailer, AGL, is putting its energy into innovative and sustainable renewable energy projects, in an effort to minimising the effects of climate change.

Included in its suite of 29 renewable energy (http://www.agl.com.au/environment/Pages/RenewableEnergyProduction.aspx) assets that it owns or operates, is Suncoast Gold Macadamias in Gympie, Southeast Queensland, which is Australia’s first waste-to-energy (biomass) renewable cogeneration project.  ‘Cogeneration’ is generation of both electricity and useful heat that can be used onsite for good use.

What is Biomass?
Biomass is all matter that can be used as fuel for industrial production.  It can also include biodegradable wastes that can be burnt as fuel.

How is Biomass energy (http://www.agl.com.au/environment/Pages/Energyfrommacadamianutshells.aspx) created?
Biomass can be thought of as storage of solar energy in chemical form.  It can be combusted to generate heat and then subsequently converted into other forms of energy.

How do we create energy from Macadamias?
Creating energy from a waste product like the macadamia nut shells involves the following process:
•    Nut shells are burnt in a fire boiler, which creates steam
•    Some of the steam is used to dry the macadamia nuts
•    The majority of the steam is used to drive a turbine to generate clean, renewable electricity
•    About 40% of the electricity is sent to the national power grid as GreenPower
•    About 60% goes to the customer.

What this means for the environment
The macadamia plant produces enough energy from the macadamia nut shells to power the company’s entire manufacturing and processing activity, as well as about 250 Queensland homes.

This innovative waste-to-energy project cuts Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions by around 2,500 tonnes per annum – equivalent to taking about 650 cars off the road each year.  It has also solved the problem of what to do with the 5,000 tonnes of macadamia shells, enough to fill three Olympic-sized swimming pools, that Suncoast Gold Macadamias processes each year.

Suncoast Gold, which exports Australia’s largest native agricultural crop to more than 20 countries including Japan, Europe and the US, has had its efficiency significantly boosted by the provision of electricity, heat and steam.  It has also enhanced its green credentials in the European and Asian markets where consumers are extremely environmentally aware.

By 2010, more than 150 growers throughout Queensland and northern New South Wales are expected to supply Suncoast Gold with about 10,000 tonnes of macadamia nuts each year, doubling the Gympie facility’s output.

AGL’s Asset Manager Neil Cooke says the innovative plant has achieved several firsts.  It’s the first of its kind in the world,” he said. “It also has the largest macadamia shell silo (400 tonne capacity, 18 metres high and 10 metres in diameter) in the world and the boiler is showing that it is possible to achieve consistent performance from a renewable energy plant operated on shells.”

AGL (http://www.agl.com.au) is one of Australia’s leading integrated energy companies and the only Australian energy producer with a full suite of renewable generation, providing natural gas and electricity to over 3.2 million customers more than six million Australians.

Other innovative renewable energy assets AGL owns or operates include the ISIS Central Sugar Mill facility in Childers, Queensland, which is AGL’s first renewable cogeneration project to produce energy from sugar cane by-product (bagasse).

Morrison, Brown, Argiz & Farra, LLP (MBAF) forms Task Force to assist investors affected by Bernard Madoff Fraud Case

December 28th, 2008

Miami – December 26, 2008 – Morrison, Brown, Argiz & Farra, LLP (MBAF), the largest independent CPA firm in Florida and the 43rd in the nation, has formed a special task force to examine the income tax ramifications to clients and investors who participated directly or indirectly with Bernard Madoff entities.

Members of the task force, comprised of a network of MBAF tax specialists, are working to assist clients and investors in the potential recovery of tax dollars related to the Bernard Madoff case.

These refunds may be as a result of dollars expended for erroneously reported income in prior years, or to receive a deduction for principal losses in the current year.

The formation of this special task force is a proactive move to quickly identify and immediately assist investors in reclaiming their losses from this Bernard Madoff fraud case.

“MBAF made the decision to form this task force partially as a result of the substantial amount of calls our accountants have been receiving in recent days from attorneys, bankers and investors adversely affected by this Bernard Madoff scheme” said MBAF Managing Partner Tony Argiz.

Areas of focus include timing and ability to take principal losses as an ordinary deduction, filing of protective elections to maintain open tax years so that amended returns may be filed, and addressing carry back and carry over issues that affect prior and subsequent periods.

The task force plans to work with legal counsel that represent Bernard Madoff victims with potential Securities Investment Protection Corporation (SIPC) filings, assessment of damages and defense of distributed proceeds received in prior years that regulatory agencies may attempt to reclaim.

If you would like to contact our firm to discuss your particular matter, please call Marjorie Horwin, CPA, 561 909-2100 (Palm Beach and Broward), Miguel G. Farra, CPA, JD, or Tony Argiz, Managing Partner, 305 373-5500, (Miami-Dade) or for more information on MBAF, please visit www.mbafcpa.com.

I’ve got Raphael Saddiq and Nile Rodgers working on something, so we’re booking some time to go into the studio and record.”

Recent Economic Downturn Spurns New Interest in Franchise Businesses

December 28th, 2008

Ready Made Business Ventures See New Expansion in Popularity

It seems that the saying “when the going gets tough the tough get going” has found new meaning in the genre of franchise businesses recently and experts credit this growing trend to the recently expanded ranks of the unemployed. As one industry analyst put it at a recent gathering of franchise business owners in Miami, Florida, “There are basically two types of unemployed workers..”

“Those who sit around and wait for things to get better and those who ferret out a viable and functioning business niche and get busy”. Daniel Hamilton, president and CEO of upholsterycleaningfranchise.com was also able to lend some insight into the growing trend during his keynote presentation at a dinner that was held at the Mirage Casino on the opening night of the gala event.

“People are now discovering just how little money it actually takes to get started in their own successful franchise business today, particularly in the type of business that I represent”. “In fact, with as little as $5000 we can now start a new entrepreneur off with all the equipment and training that they need”. “That’s not all though, because we include in that package a ten zip code territory, as well as number one ranked websites in both English and Spanish. We’ll also help your own website by giving you listings from 2 other websites within the business.”. See the English site UpholsteryCleaningExperts and the Spanish site LimioMuebles here.

However; franchise business experts do warn that running a franchise business means saying good-by to 9-5 working hours. As one industry analyst put it. “ Sure, the money can be great but more often than not, it means 12-14 hour days and that’s often six days a week”. “However; for someone who isn’t afraid of long hours and hard work, the right franchise business can be the key to financial success and independence.

One good point that was made by an independent entrepreneur who was also in attendance, was that at least now he “doesn’t have to worry about being laid off anymore”. “Also, it sure is nice that finally I’m the boss now, so what I say goes”! In fact, one area that many experts agree on, is that it is being in charge of ones own financial affairs that is one of the primary draws that is attracting more people now to franchise businesses.

Note: Experts who have studied the growing trend in franchise businesses stress that as the US economy becomes more service oriented, businesses that cater to this business sector are predicted to achieve the most growth and stability in the coming future.
