The Standard Shipping Note (SSN) facilitates the export trader to complete one standard document for the entire shipments irrespective of inland depot or port. By doing so, it gives the receiving right with absolute, accurate and timely data as well as providing all those with an interest in the shipment with sufficient information at each movement period, until absolute loading on board the vessel or aircraft.

Two important things about the preparation of meaty, tender, and juicy beef ribs: 1) Under no circumstance buy ones that have the meat between the ribs gouged out. That’s the best part ! 2) I separate into individual ribs before marinating and smoking. This allows the larger globs of fat to render out and accelerates even cooking.

I have to say it always makes my day when I see @jaybetee or @BlogCatalog pop up on someone’s #FollowFriday list on Twitter. Being the skeptic that I am, however, I have to wonder if making it on to various #FollowFriday lists has any real impact when it comes to gaining more Twitter followers. Except for when I first started using Twitter, I don’t think I have ever added anyone from a #FollowFriday list

First of all, please let me introduce myself: I'm the blogger who dropped off the face of the earth for a couple of weeks there (again). Busy times in the pages of ye olde dinosaur, the newspaper, where I finally finished a two-part series on China and reviews of winter shows at the Oakville Galleries and the Power Plant (the first part, anyway, on “Nothing to Declare,” the fun and engaging Canadian sculpture show; part two, on Michael Snow, will be this weekend.) Keeping ever busy, I endured a white-knuckle drive up to Owen Sound yesterday to the Tom Thomson Gallery, where I saw Steven White's very good sculpture show, The Combine Project.
